The World of Yellow Sky

The military pawns, sharp men and two battalions of cavalry who followed Xu An on the eastward expedition were influenced by the thought of the Peaceful Way, and they did not resist much.

They didn't have the bad habits of the feudal army. Soon after the army was established, Xu An made them understand why they were fighting.

The "Four Musts" and "Four Don'ts" are written in the military law, and they have always done so.

They used to eat and sleep in the wind and rain in the Taihang Mountains, weathered the wind and rain in Motianling, sat on the ground in Yinping Road, and slept in the tents suggested in the open spaces of the city. In fact, the conditions were not difficult for them.

Most of them came from poor families, so when Fu Zhu taught them, they didn't have much resistance in their hearts.

The rising sun in the east has appeared, and the ray of light is rapidly spreading to the earth, dispelling the darkness.

"Woo——"

Xu An pulled the rein lightly and stopped beside the official road.

Xu You led someone to come from the front, but also reined in.

"Bai Rao has led the cavalry to set off for a quarter of an hour. The road ahead has been cleared and it is safe to confirm. The Eagle Guard Ti cavalry sent out last night did not find any ambushes from the Han army along the way. The official road is still safe."

"All ministries are following the order and only carry spears, and the rest of the armor has been handed over to the logistics department."

Xu An nodded, his eyes narrowed, and he raised the whip in his hand.

"Order the whole army to speed up and advance without stopping!"

"stop------"

A sharp noise broke the last tranquility before dawn.

On the official road, a group of soldiers of the Ming army riding on their horses drove the horses under them at the same time, and walked slowly towards the east.

The messengers held the order flags, whipped the horses under them with whips, galloped forward and backward, and spread Xu An's military orders to all directions.

"There is an order from the big banner, speed up the march, and don't stop!"

"There is an order from the big banner, speed up the march, and don't stop!"

"There is an order from the big banner, speed up the march, and don't stop!"

The speed of the war horse was slowly increased, and on the official road, the winding and undulating dragon made up by one Ming army soldier after another seemed to come alive, constantly accelerating the speed of movement.

The next moment after receiving the military order, the Ming army's horse speed on the official road had already been raised.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes shakes people's hearts and inspires them to forge ahead.

If someone is looking down above the clouds, they will be able to see the Ming army marching above the official road, which is flowing eastward like a swift river at this time.

……

In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, on June [-], it rained.

The battle between the Han army and the Wei army in Fanyang City is still going on, and the rain has started to fall since the evening of yesterday.

It was just light rain at first, but as time passed, at dawn, the light rain had turned into heavy rain, and now, the rain in front of me had turned into a rain curtain.

Huangfusong was still sitting on the earth platform, the huge tent blocked the rain, but the dense sound of the rain hitting the tent could not be blocked.

Huangfusong's expression was dignified, and his eyes remained on Fanyang City not far away.

The generals and schools on the earthen platform also looked dignified, and the heavy rain greatly delayed their attack time. Originally, the Wei army in Fanyang City was already in the wind and was on the verge of collapse.

However, due to the obstruction of the heavy rain, which affected the offensive of the Han army, the Wei army finally persisted and withstood the offensive of the Han army.

"It's the sixth day..."

Huangfusong silently counted the days in his heart, Xu Andong left Jiguan at the dawn of May 28th, and now it is the dawn of June [-]nd, in six days, they only have four days left.

Looking at the rain in front of him, Huangfusong continued to issue military orders. He did not stop the army and truce, but continued to command the troops under his command to continuously attack Fanyang City.

The heavy rain did not affect Huangfusong's command. The attack of the Han army was like a gust of wind and waves, wave after wave, wave after wave, as if it would never stop, and there was no chance for the Wei army in Fanyang City to breathe.

"General, the heavy rain is unbearable. After the battle, those who bathe in the rain may..."

Chen Gong looked at the soldiers marching on the muddy road in the heavy rain, his face was a little embarrassed, he took a step forward to ask Huangfusong to delay the offensive.

Now the Han army is attacking under the heavy rain. After this heavy rain, even if they win the battle, it is unknown how many soldiers will fall ill.

Even if the army has ordered people to prepare hot soup, and the preparation is quite proper, but the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread. If there are too many soldiers who fall ill, even if the Wei army is defeated, so what? Defend against the Yellow Turbans arriving from the west.

Huangfusong raised his hand to stop Chen Gong's words.

"Don't bring up the issue of the strike again."

Huangfusong's eyes were slightly sharp, and his tone became more serious.

"This heavy rain, in many people's eyes, is hindering our army, but it is not the case. This heavy rain is God helping our army!"

Huangfusong's eyes were serious.

"Although our army stopped the offensive due to the muddy road and the rain curtain, which allowed the Wei army to re-stabilize the front line, but the Wei army's Wuwei soldiers have not fought. This proves that Yuan Shao still has a backhand."

The Wuwei Army is the heavy infantry of the Wei Army. Its predecessor was the Xiyuan Forbidden Army who stayed in Jizhou Prefecture. There were only three thousand of them. Far inferior to the Wuwei army, only the Jiangdong soldiers under Sun Jian's command can fight against it one or two.

Even without the heavy rain, the Han army would not have been able to defeat the Wei army before, because Yuan Shao had been holding this trump card and did not play it.

"Our army's offensive was frustrated because of the complex terrain in the city. The Wei army had many bows and crossbows. Even with a strong shield and armor, it was difficult to stop a strong bow and crossbow."

"But now that it's raining heavily, the arrows are affected by the rain, and it's hard to maintain accuracy. Although the crossbow can barely be fired in the rain, the power of the crossbow has also decreased a lot, and the impact on the sight is even greater."

"The Wei army's advantage is not there. As for the close combat in the rain, it will not only affect our army, but also the soldiers of the Wei army."

"This heavy rain, why isn't God helping our army?!"

Huangfusong clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Order Sun Jian, Ji Ling, and Cheng Pu to take advantage of the heavy rain and defeat the Wei army in the city at one stroke."

Huangfusong issued the military order with an unquestionable tone.

"promise."

Huangfu Song's intentions were lost, and all the generals of the Han army on the earthen platform could only obey their orders.

……

Wearing black armor and holding a Han sword in his hand, Shen Pei stood in front of the army formation, and the rain fell from the edge of his helmet.

This storm gave Wei Jun a chance to breathe, but it also made it difficult for Wei Jun's strong bow and crossbow to play a role.

The Han army's offensive did not stop because of the heavy rain. After a short pause, the Han army re-launched an offensive that was more violent than before.

The judge was very clear that the Han army was trying to defeat them in one fell swoop when the bows and crossbows in their army were difficult to make achievements.

Since the fierce battle, the judges have even personally carried the sword into battle.

"Danyang soldiers!"

In the Wei Jun army formation, a Wei Jun Jun Hou roared and reminded loudly.

"Raise your shield!!!"

Before the military marquis of the Wei army shouted to raise the shield, the Wei army in the front line had already raised the shield in their hands.

"Whoosh-" "Whoosh-" "Whoosh-"

A large number of javelins pierced the rain curtain and shot into the Wei army's formation suddenly, and several clouds of blood sprayed out.

The judge's complexion changed slightly, and he hastily issued an order for the reserve soldiers to replenish the army formation.

These recruits from Danyang County have outstanding arm strength, and the javelins they throw are so powerful that they can even pierce through shields.

Those javelins are exactly the same as the javelins used by the Yellow Turban army who fell into the camp.

"Han Army Sharp Soldier!"

There was another loud cry, and the judge looked up.

In front of the road, a large group of soldiers dressed in Xuanjia and heavy armor are coming, like a wall.

The military equipment of the sharp warriors of the Han army has been innovated a lot until now. Although the sharp warriors of the Han army were originally equipped with heavy armor, there is actually a lot of gap between the armor and stomach of the Han army.

However, under the influence of the Yellow Turban Army, the military equipment of the elite soldiers of the Han Army has also been strengthened.

The ring arm iron armor designed by Xu An is not difficult to make, and the Han army and Wei army have imitated it.

The sharp soldiers of the Han army are not only equipped with ring-arm iron armor to cover the weak parts of the arms, but even equipped with leg armor. The current sharp soldiers of the Han army are truly heavy infantry.

"Han Meng!"

The judge rushed forward and grabbed Han Meng's scarf.

"You bring your personal guards to block the Han army for a quarter of an hour, no matter what you have to block the Han army for a quarter of an hour! I will send the Wuwei army!"

The judge knows that the Wei army here is already at the end of its strength, and it has been impossible to block the attack of the Danyang soldiers and the sharp soldiers of the Han army so far.

"Strike the mighty drum!!!"

The judge stepped onto the horse and shouted loudly to the orderly beside him.

The Wuwei Drum is the exclusive military drum of the Wuwei Army. When the Wuwei Drum is played, it is the time for the Wuwei Army to march.

Amidst the rumbling drums, all the soldiers of the three thousand mighty warriors stood up under the rain tent.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

With the sound of the horn, the Wuwei army of three thousand burqas with belts, big halberds in hand, and hammers on their waists stepped out of the rain tent and escaped into the rain curtain.

Shen Pei galloped all the way on his horse, and boarded a low platform not far behind him.

Yuan Shao's azure blue banner was planted on this low platform, and this was where Yuan Shao was.

From May 28 to today, Yuan Shao has not retreated a single step.

Even if the Han army had reached the low platform and was only a dozen meters away from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao did not retreat.

The Han army could even shoot directly at Yuan Shao with bows and arrows, but those arrows were blocked by the guards with shields.

The sharp soldiers of the Han army were coming towards Yuan Shao. The front line of the Wei army was only fifty steps away from the low platform where Yuan Shao was.

"kill!!!"

Yuan Shao's azure blue flag was as eye-catching as a lighthouse on the sea, and countless Han troops rushed to the place where the flag was located under the rain.

Yuan Shao stood on the low platform, watching the battle situation in Fanyang City expressionlessly.

"My lord, the Han army is attacking rapidly. Our bows and crossbows are difficult to make achievements due to the heavy rain. I also ask my lord to retreat fifty steps temporarily to avoid the sharp edge of the Han army."

The examiner stepped onto the low platform, the situation was urgent, he didn't care about the etiquette, he supported Yuan Shao's arm, and wanted to take Yuan Shao away from the low platform.

Yuan Shao broke free from the support of the judge, looked around at the generals and soldiers beside him, and slammed his helmet on the ground.

The loud sound of the helmet falling to the ground shocked all the generals of the Wei army.

Yuan Shao slowly pulled out the sword at his waist, raised it flat, and the rain fell, dripping on the tip of the sword in Yuan Shao's hand.

Yuan Shao looked at everyone coldly and said coldly.

"A real man is fighting to the death, but fleeing from the evil within the walls!"

Chapter 774 One after another, the two Hans are chaotic

Thirty miles west of Fanyang City, beside the official road, a simple camp was built not far away.

The torrential rain poured down.

The raindrops falling from the sky almost formed a line, and the sky was dim, making it difficult to see the road ahead.

As time passed, the heavy rain showed no sign of subsiding, and the sky became darker and darker. Although it was not long after noon, it was almost like night now.

The entire sky was completely covered by large cloudy clouds, and the sun's rays could not penetrate the thick clouds at all. Before it fell from the nine heavens, it was completely blocked by the sky.

The rain made the official roads in Jizhou muddy everywhere, making it difficult for people, horses and vehicles to move.

Jizhou is a wealthy place, and the roads in various places are in good condition. Even if it rains, it will not be too muddy.

However, after the road has experienced tens of thousands of Han troops walking and rolling over many times by its convoy, the road condition is getting worse day by day.

This sudden heavy rain seemed to have been accumulated for a long time, and it was heavier than any heavy rain Xu An had ever seen.

Even the heavy rain on Shijian Mountain back then was somewhat inferior to the current one.

The heavy rain not only blocked the attack of the Han army, but also made it impossible to use the strong bows and crossbows of the Wei army, and also forced Xu An to order a temporary halt to the march.

However, when the rain had fallen to the point where it was difficult to move forward, the Ming army was only [-] miles away from Fanyang City.

This is the temporary camp of the Ming army. It is a bit reluctant to call it a camp. There are no horses, fences, or earth walls around the camp, but a rain tent is set up to temporarily provide people with a shelter from the wind and rain. The place.
