The World of Yellow Sky

Cities are useless, passes are useless, and the only thing that is useful is the terrain.

ultimately beneficiary of...

It seems to be the barbarian from the north.

There is no way to control the hometown of Xianbei and the Huns.

On the grassland, it cannot be cultivated, and there are many Hu people, it is difficult to establish counties and counties, and it is difficult to manage.

The barbarians in the North land one crop after another, it seems that they will never perish.

After leaving the Huns, there is still Lou Fan, and after leaving Lou Fan, there is Donghu.

When they all went to decline, Xianbei once again rose from the old places of the Xiongnu, Loufan and other tribes.

Just when Huangfusong was lost in thought, outside the Yuanyuan Pass, the catapult cart of the Yellow Turban Army had stopped, and beside the catapult machine, countless soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were busy.

"General, please leave the wall immediately."

Liang Yan took another step forward and spoke more emphatically.

Xu An arrived at Zhiyuan Pass yesterday. In today's wave of attacks, the Yellow Turban Army launched more catapults and used a large number of infantry. It was definitely not a bluff.

The Yellow Turban Army's attack this time must be like a stormy sea.

Liang Yan has followed Huangfusong in battle for many years, he can see the spirit of an army, and he can also see the psychological activities of the enemy commander from some subtle changes.

Now the Yellow Turban Army is like a boxer full of anger who has just stepped onto the ring, and the first punch he swings must be the sharpest punch,

Now Xu An is suppressing his anger...

……

Outside the Yuanguan Pass.

Xu An led the horse under his seat forward slowly, and reached the top of a mound.

Shenyuan Pass is one of the Eight Passes in Luoyang. It is located on the Shenyuan Mountain at the junction of Yanshi, Dengfeng and Gongyi. It is the shortcut from Luoyang to Xu and Chen.

The pass is at Eling Ban, between Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. The road is dangerous and narrow, with twelve bends and circles.

The terrain of Shenyuanguan is not easy to attack even if the Yellow Turban Army has war weapons such as counterweight catapults.

Since ancient times, the defenders in siege battles can rely on the city walls and favorable terrain. Sophisticated defense equipment has a large number of advantages, so that they can resist the far greater number of troops with inferior troops.

The topography of Shenyuan Pass has been inspected by the Eagle Wolf Guard, and Xu An has already understood the general topography.

Yuanyuanguan simply cannot allow the attacker to launch a large-scale attack.

The mountain path at Shenyuanguan is rugged, only allowing pedestrians to ride scales and stones, and Moji and horses to gallop.

During the period of the Republic of China, migrant workers were recruited from the north of the Yellow River to expand the Elingkou section.

Due to the high mountains and dangerous roads, the construction was difficult, and there were many casualties among migrant workers.After the expansion, the road surface is still rough and rugged due to more rocks and less soil, forming eighteen bends and circling up and down, which was later called "Eighteen Turns".

On the Zhiyuan Pass, the mountain is majestic and dangerous, the rock walls are jagged like swords, and there are twists and turns along the road. Go early and swim in the fog".

The road is steep and narrow, and the green screen is on the top.

High peaks often obstruct the sun, and dense trees do not open the sky.

The wind quickly destroys the leaves, and the clouds are locked in a narrow lock.

Going early depends on the view, misty and white clouds.

As the Yuan Pass was closed, the fiery red flags of the Han army were unfurled in front of Xu An.

Among the fiery red flags, there was one that was extraordinarily tall.

That's Huangfusong's big flag!

The banner that Xu An will never forget, the thing that will never be forgotten.

The color on that big flag is not fiery red, but bright red.

The big flag is a flag stained with blood.

It is Guangzong City, it is Xia Quyang, it is the whole of Jizhou, the whole world, the banners and banners that were infected by the blood of millions of slaughtered Yellow Turban soldiers.

"call out------"

The third whistle sounded from behind Xu An, and Xu Hong blew the bamboo whistle hanging on his chest.

"put!"

At the same moment when the whistle sounded, on the side of the mound where Xu An was standing, the leader of the catapult convoy waved down the blue flag viciously.

Those earth hills are earth platforms built by soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army bit by bit with mud, in order to provide a platform for catapults to attack.

Twenty huge counterweight catapults suddenly let out their roars, and twenty stone bombs pierced the low sky, roaring towards the Yuanguan Pass hidden among the mountains, forests and trees in the distance.

……

The whole morning, the catapults of the Yellow Turban Army were bombarding Yuanguan Pass crazily. The narrow terrain made it impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to invest in more catapults, but twenty catapults were enough.

The catapults of the Yellow Turban Army were replaced in three or four batches, and the soldiers in charge of manipulating the catapults were also replaced in three or five batches.

At this time, the Yuanguan Pass has been shrouded in thick smoke and dust. Regardless of the repetition, the walls of the Yuanguan Pass have begun to disintegrate and collapse. Down to nothing.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The high-pitched sound of Huang Tian's battle drum came from the center of the Yellow Turban Army.

"The first wave of attacks will be mainly attacked by the first military battalion, and the trapped camp will be responsible for responding."

Xu An's face was solemn, he gave the order directly without hesitation.

The messenger in charge of delivering the orders saluted Xu An with his head held high, and then he pulled the reins and walked away.

Soon, there was a loud noise from the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, countless banners were unfurled, and they moved forward slowly.

One after another, tall wells loaded with archers followed the formation of the Yellow Turban Army's military camp and advanced steadily. The wall of the Yuanguan Pass is not long, and the place that can accommodate the passage is terribly narrow, and the siege ladder is not at all There was no way to push forward.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army could only hide their bodies behind the heavy shield chariots, and attack towards Zhiyuan Pass with barbed wooden ladders on their shoulders.

"The catapult raises its head a little bit, don't stop throwing stones, and cover our infantry advancing."

Xu An's face was solemn, he did not stop the catapult convoy from attacking as Xu Huang had commanded before.

"The stones are thrown non-stop, the Han army should not leave anyone on the city wall, and charge up with the stone bullets!"

It was not a matter of Xu Huang attacking Zhiyuan before. Every time he bombarded with catapults, and then sent infantry to attack.

The Han army is used to this rhythm, and the information sent just yesterday also confirmed the movement of the Han army when Xu An watched Xu Huang command the siege.

Every time the Han army threw stone bullets from the catapults of the Yellow Turban Army, they would hide under the inner walls of the city walls and in the caves where soldiers were hidden, and would not leave anyone behind on the wall.

Although allowing the catapult convoy to continue the bombardment may cause the attacking infantry to be accidentally injured, it can surprise a Han army.

Xu An tightly held the binoculars in his hand, looking at Yuanyuan Pass in the distance.

One sharp whistle after another, and the low horn sound after another resounded in Xu An's ears.

Under the lens, hundreds of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army wearing iron armor and holding knives and guns are climbing towards the high Zhiyuan Pass with their heads up and shields in hand.

Stone bullets whizzed past his head, and one of the stone bullets had a terribly short flight path. In the camera, it almost passed over the heads of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.

The stone bullet finally slammed into the wall of Yuanyuan Pass, but it was not known whether it was a problem of strength or angle, and the stone bullet was bounced away.

The huge stone bomb fell to the ground and rolled down the mountain under the action of gravity.

The stone bullets rolled down, and the originally neat military formation of the Yellow Turban Army became a little chaotic because of this sudden change.

"Stop shooting!"

Xu An put down the binoculars in his hand, and ordered in a cold voice.

On the mounds on both sides, the twenty catapult vehicles stopped their excitatory movements almost instantly.

After all, the accuracy of the catapult is too poor. The advanced concept of infantry coordination is not suitable for the coordination of the catapult and infantry when the weapon is cold.

No, it is actually enough to win these time.

The No. [-] Soldiers Battalion of the Yellow Turban Army had arrived at a place quite close to the wall of the Yuanguan Pass under the cover of a catapult.

Under the Yuanyuan Pass, a Fu Zhu jumped out of the army formation, he held up the Yanling Saber in his hand, and roared angrily.

"Comrades, for the sake of Huang Tian's world, move forward!!!"

Chapter 655 Huangfusong

Drums sounded like thunder, horns blared and whistles continued.

The deafening shouts of killing continued for a moment, and countless soldiers fought desperately in the pool of blood on the narrow Yuanyuan Pass.

Huangfu Song was sitting in the government office, the shouts of killing never stopped in his ears.

There was no trace of panic or loss on his face, and he remained calm.

"The first pass has been breached by the moth thief, and our defenders are withdrawing..."

"The second pass was breached by the Moth Thief, and our defenders failed to withdraw in time and fell into the enemy's line..."

"The third pass was broken by moth thieves. Our defenders are evacuating. Captain Zhang En was killed..."

……

One after another, the military information was delivered from the front line by the signal soldiers and sent to the government office.

It's getting dusk, a short day's time.

The four passes of Shenyuan Pass fell, two school lieutenants died in battle, and the casualties among the Han army had reached more than [-].

The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and all the generals in the government office looked ugly.

Huangfusong was able to calm down, but they didn't know anything about Huangfusong's deployment, and they didn't know how Huangfusong arranged it. It was really difficult for them to have a good face.

Since this day, Huangfusong has not left his seat, which is completely unusual, and Huangfusong has a strong smell of incense these days, and the food he eats is quite delicate, it seems to be medicinal food... …

Every time he set up camp, Huangfusong always waited for the generals to make arrangements before setting up his own tent for the Chinese army.

When eating, Huangfusong and the others ate the same kind of food, it was never special, and he waited until the meals for the soldiers had been distributed before eating by himself.

Taigong's "Six Secret Teachings": "The army has a set order, and the general will leave it; all the cooks are cooked, and the general will eat; the army does not raise fire, and the general does not raise it. It is called a general who stops his desire."

Huangfusong used to be able to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but now his behavior has changed a lot, as if he was a different person.

A qualified commander will definitely observe the battle situation immediately.

Huangfusong had never been afraid of being in the front line. In every battle, Huangfusong would command from a high place and strategize.

But now Huangfusong rarely even leaves his seat.

The strong smell of incense can hardly cover up the unpleasant smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

Even though Huangfusong was far away from the seats of the generals, all the generals of the Han army could find that Huangfusong's current physical condition was very bad.

They all guessed the truth of something——Huangfusong was ill...

Although Huangfu Song used to be the god of war, he conferred the battle ax in the early spring and received the merits in the late winter. Millions of yellow scarves were wiped out by him in just a few years.

But their opponent, Xu An, is not a mediocre person.

Ping Taihang, take Shangdang, break through Hedong, enter Bingzhou, attack two counties, and attack the Xiongnu in the north.

Stabilize Liangzhou, coerce Guanzhong, and attack Wushuang.

It is almost a battle that must be won, and an attack must be captured.

Now Xu An is well-known all over the world, and he seems to be a master of Yin and Yang.

But facing such a strong enemy, Huangfusong seemed to be in poor condition, and rarely even went to the front line.

Huangfusong did not show his superb commanding skills or plan any tricks as before.

He just sent out his reserve team again and again when the soldiers on the front line suffered heavy casualties and asked for support. All strategies seemed to be fueled.

Huangfusong's big change is actually not the key point that the generals are worried about. It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, and all the generals and schools in the government are very aware of the quality of their soldiers.

Even if the [-] or so mob that came together from here and there could rely on the advantage of the Zhiyuan Pass to block them, they seemed to be able to stop those bandits outside the pass who were not afraid of death and were as fierce as tigers.

Although the imperial troops brought by Huangfusong from Chendu were fairly well-equipped, most of those imperial troops were recruits who had never experienced battle formations. It hasn't been tested too much.

And the other county soldiers recruited from all over the country are at most comparable to ordinary soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army, but they are far from the most elite soldiers and sharp soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army today.

In the past, the Han army was far superior to the Yellow Turban army in terms of the quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment, so they often won more with less.
