The World of Yellow Sky

"No……"

"It seems that there is no..."

"wrong."

A general stood out from the side at this time.

"I saw that the Ming army was eager to attack, and the Yanzhou army seemed unable to hold on anymore, and then the soldiers of the camp on the mountainside seemed to be mobilized and rushed to the camp at the foot of the mountain."

"Then it didn't take long for the Ming army to break through the camp."

"I'm waiting... I really didn't see any broken soldiers escape from the Jiulishan camp..."

Cheng Yu's heart sank again, and he was about to say something, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of commotion in the city.

"Here's an order to order all the township and brave departments to stick to their headquarters and not to move without permission. Those who move without permission will be punished as treason!"

Cheng Yu let go of the hand that was holding the general's collar, and gave an order urgently.

"No... No!"

Although that general didn't know why Cheng Yu suddenly gave this order, how dare he disobey Cheng Yu's order.

Those volunteer captains who came from powerful families were not afraid of Cheng Yu because they had not learned how Cheng Yu managed the army. None of them, the generals of the regular army, were not afraid of Cheng Yu.

"Beat the assembly drum and summon all the troops in the city!"

"you!"

Cheng Yu reached out and pointed at the crowd.

"You guard the east gate, inside and outside the city, anyone who dares to approach the gate will be killed without mercy!"

Cheng Yu shouted angrily, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, his heart was already in turmoil, and now the calm expression on his face was all fake.

Now the real catastrophe is upon us.

Cheng Yu raised his head and took a last look at the cavalry of the Ming Army who were getting closer and closer to the North City. He already knew something was wrong.

If I remember correctly, the person who was assigned to guard the gate of the North City today was Han Qing, who was born in the Han family of Yingchuan.

And Han Qing's elder brother, Han Zheng, is the commander of the defenders of the camp on the hillside of Jiuli Mountain. These are all things arranged by him, so he naturally remembers them clearly.

He had seen both Han Zheng and Han Qing, and as the rising stars of the Han clan, he had a deep impression on them.

Jiuli Mountain was breached in such a short period of time, and the time of breach was exactly after Han Zheng led the reinforcements into the camp, and after that, no broken soldiers escaped from Jiuli Mountain.

Then there is no need to think too much about what happened in the camp, the facts are already clearly revealed, and it is clearly placed on the table——Han Zheng rebelled!

If the Ming army really broke through the camp of Jiuli Mountain by hard attack, no matter what, Jiuli Mountain would escape a large number of routs, but now there are no routs, then this proves that it is a combination of inside and outside.

Because of cooperation from the inside and the outside, the Yanzhou army led by Ji Ling was stabbed in the back by Han Zheng. Han Zheng helped the Ming army break through the camp of Jiuli Mountain, and the soldiers he brought blocked the escape route, making all the Yanzhou troops under Jiuli Mountain The army fell into a deadly situation and was surrounded by the Ming army. I am afraid that most of them were captured or killed by the Ming army.

The noise from Beizhai became more and more intense, and Cheng Yu's face became more and more serious. He heard some unusual voices, he heard shouts of killing!

"Call the Zhangwu Camp near the tower here, and let them follow me to the North City!"

Cheng Yu didn't waste any time, the intensifying noise magnified the fear in his heart, and he no longer dared to think about what would happen next.

I am afraid that Han Qing will not be ignorant of Han Zheng's rebellion, even the entire Yingchuan Han family knows, and even this is the Yingchuan Han family's plan.

Cheng Yu quickly walked down the tower, his whole body was cold and his lips turned white.

The cavalry of the Ming army came straight to Beicheng, and the noise in Beicheng became more and more violent. He had reason to believe that Han Qing had also rebelled!

Han Qing controlled a city gate in the northern city. Once he opened the gate to let the cavalry of the Ming army enter, there was only one fate waiting for them—destruction!

With the four city gates in hand, even if the Ming army attacked continuously like a tide, Cheng Yu had the confidence to defend it for several months or even years. After all, there were nearly [-] troops inside and outside the city. A pile of people can also withstand the offensive.

When the cavalry of the Ming army entered the city, the greatest damage they caused was not real damage, but a huge blow to the morale of the defenders.

And most importantly, the Han family in Yingchuan rebelled, so it is a question of whether there are other people in the city who have joined the Ming army.

If there are other people who join the Ming army and cause chaos together at this time, the situation will deteriorate to the point where it is completely uncontrollable.

At that time, under the chaos, the cavalry of the Ming army entered the city. I am afraid that the [-] troops inside and outside Pengcheng would fall apart in an instant.

So why did he order that all Xiangyong tribes are not allowed to leave the station.

Cheng Yu couldn't be more clear about the morale and combat strength of those township warriors. The Ming army is now in full swing, and the Han army has been suppressed by the Ming army on the frontal battlefield. Jiuli Mountain only lasted for less than two hours.

As long as Han Qing opened the city gate and let the cavalry of the Ming army enter the city, the morale of the brave people inside and outside Pengcheng would collapse.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and if the [-] army collapsed, no one could control it.

This battle is really over...

Zhang Wuying was quickly summoned, and they were around the city tower. Cheng Yu led a group of soldiers from Zhang Wuying, and walked quickly along the city wall in the direction of the North City.

But at this moment, a loud noise suddenly appeared in the city, as if the earth was shocked.

Cheng Yu turned his head to look at the city.

Just inside Pengcheng, where the granary is located, the fire is raging at this time, and the fire is soaring into the sky...

Chapter 893 Entering the City!

The strong wind is blowing, and the flags are flying.

Tai Shici and Zhao Yun rode their horses in front with their guns, followed by a group of soldiers and cavalry. The huge cavalry formation passed by the side of the North Village of Pengcheng.

In the northern village of Pengcheng, fireworks filled the sky, and the camp was filled with the sound of howling ghosts and wolves.

In the camp of the Han army, ocher-yellow banners were erected high, the voices of people were full of people, and the sound of shouting and killing was so loud that it almost pierced through the clouds and cracked rocks.

Zhao Yun just glanced at it, then turned his head away, Tai Shici had already dispatched two thousand men to ride into the camp, and left two thousand men wandering around, ready to help at any time.

Xu An had already informed everyone of the deployment of the Han army during the previous military meeting.

There are more than [-] Han troops deployed in Beizhai, and almost [-] of them are internal responders. They use the beacon fire as their name, and once the beacon fire ignites, they will immediately raise troops to respond.

After Xu Huang broke through Jiuli Mountain, when he divided his troops to Pengcheng, the signal beacon had already been lit.

A group of internal forces in Beizhai rose up and launched an attack on the generals of the Han army who were in the camp and had not yet reacted and had no defense at all.

Yang Xuan, the Zhonglang general in charge of Beizhai, was commanding the generals to guard the Quartet at that time, and was besieged and killed by a group of rebels.

Yang Xuan's death made Beizhai even more chaotic. Tai Shici didn't even need to send troops into Beizhai, the Han army Beizhai would collapse on its own.

However, Tai Shici didn't understand what was happening in the northern stronghold of the Han army in Pengcheng. He not only sent people into the camp, but also left behind a cavalry unit to help and defend.

Tai Shici did not fully trust these people who said in the letter that they would abandon the dark and turn to the light, and surrender anyway.

From the very beginning, Xu An never fully believed in those aristocratic families and powerful people.

Although it has been screened by the Eagle Wolf Guard, it cannot be ruled out that this may be the bait deliberately released by the Embroidered Cloth Messenger and Han Ting, just to attract the Ming army to take the bait.

Xu An made a plan from the very beginning, and although he brought in those aristocratic families who said they wanted to go anyway, he actually had a variety of alternatives, which left him with enough vigilance.

After Han Zheng helped Xu Huang break down the Jiuli Mountain camp, Xu Huang took control of Han Zheng, and the Jiuli Mountain camp was also taken over by the Ming army. The generals under Han Zheng's command were also disarmed. Taking a break for a while is actually under house arrest.

This time, there were more than a thousand cavalry left outside the Beizhai. Their mission was to at least ensure the safety of the back road.

The more than a thousand soldiers who entered the camp immediately took control of the gate of the camp, and then slowly advanced along the camp wall, giving priority to destroying the siege equipment.

The more than [-] so-called village braves in Beizhai are actually no threat at all. They absolutely dare not run out of the tortoise shells to fight in the field. The only thing that can threaten the Ming army are those bed crossbows and Dump the car.

The horse's hooves churned, as loud as countless heavy hammers hitting the drum.

Being in the cavalry, besides the sound of rumbling horseshoes, there is also the sound of hunting banners, and almost no other sounds can be heard

Galloping in front of the cavalry formation, the light suddenly opened up in front of him, which also allowed Zhao Yun to hear some human voices, and he and Tai Shici could still hear each other clearly when communicating.

Zhao Yun rode his horse forward, pulling the reins to control the direction in which the horse galloped.

Just less than two miles ahead is the majestic Pengcheng.

In the past, Xiang Yu led his troops to massacre Xianyang, killed Qin Prince Ying, and burned the Qin Palace. After conquering Qin, his momentum reached its peak.

Although the city walls of Pengcheng were continuously reduced during the Han Dynasty, the city walls in the inland cities had strict specifications, so the grand occasion was not as good as it was in the old Chu period.

However, due to the increase in population, the city is larger than before, and after being strengthened, today's Pengcheng is even more majestic than when the Western Chu Overlord was still there.

In the original plan of the Han court, if the war is impossible, they will abandon Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou and other places and retreat to the Jianghuai area.

The reason why Pengcheng was reinforced was because in its plan, the Han court wanted to rely on the Huai River to deploy defenses, and use Pengcheng and other strong cities that could reach the Huaihe River Basin as forward positions, so as to block the attack of the Ming army.

With the help of the Huaihe River and its tributaries, the navy of Hanting can reach as far as Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou are all under its radiation.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty is now a well-deserved overlord. No one can match it in terms of tonnage or combat power. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world.

After all, at this time, the Roman Empire, which was able to wrestle a little bit with the Han Empire, had only five-remere warships as its main naval force.

Whether it is in terms of quality or quantity, the navy of the Ming Dynasty has to leave Rome by more than a fraction.

It's just that the gap between the navy and the inland navy is too great. The Ming navy can dominate the sea, but it is difficult to enter the Huai River and the Yangtze River to check and balance the Hanting's inland navy.

After all, due to the needs of the ocean, most of the warships of the Ming army were pointed-bottomed warships rather than flat-bottomed warships, and a small number of flat-bottomed warships were built lower than inland river warships because they were built to adapt to the wind and waves at sea. Many, in the confrontation with the tall ships of the Inland River Navy, they must be at a disadvantage.

One is suitable for naval battles, and the other is suitable for inland water battles. Naturally, the side with a favorable geographical position will have an advantage.

Pengcheng is a fortified city. If it really attacked, it would take at least ten days of indiscriminate bombardment by catapults to loosen the walls of Pengcheng.

In Pengcheng, there is also the Wengcheng, as well as a large number of defensive facilities, some of which were originally there, and some of them were newly built by the Han army during this period.

Even with a counterweight catapult, it is actually not a wise move to storm a fortified city, and it will definitely make the attacking side pay a huge price.

Zhao Yun stared at the closed door in front of him. The distance of two miles was not such a long distance for a war horse that was advancing at a fast pace.

What Zhao Yun is concerned about is that the gate of Pengcheng North City should be opened now, but it has not been opened for a long time.

……

Above the northern city, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Han Qing was covered in blood, clutching his abdomen, standing in front of the winch at the city gate.

The corpses of more than a dozen Han soldiers were lying around in disorder.

Outside the house, there are more corpses of Han soldiers.

Although he took the task of guarding the north gate, in fact, they were only used as an external barrier as the township brave, and the central part was still controlled by the main army of the Han army.

"These Zhang Wu's battalion soldiers are a bunch of fucking lunatics..."

Han Qing's complexion was pale, and the people in charge of the north gate were the soldiers of Zhang Wuying, with only a hundred or so soldiers.

He had more than [-] people under his command, and he mobilized more than [-] people to besiege the city gate. They were all selected elites, and they suddenly broke out. At the beginning, they did kill the soldiers of Zhang Wuying who were guarding the city gate. More than twenty people.

But I didn't expect that not only did the soldiers of the Zhangwu Battalion not collapse, but they still used the terrain of the Chengguan to resist stubbornly, and actually drove them back a few waves.

After the fight, the morale of the generals under his command was getting lower and lower, and they were scattered for several rounds instead.

Seeing that the reinforcements coming from Dongcheng were getting closer and closer, Han Qing finally went into battle with his sword in hand, led his followers and family generals, and finally killed all the battalions of Zhang Wuying. It is the city gate that controls the city gate switch.

"Hurry up and open the city gate!"

Han Qing leaned against the wall, raised the ring head knife in his hand and pointed forward.

In the previous fierce battle, a long spear pierced the armor stomach he was wearing and stabbed his abdomen. Fortunately, because of the protection of the armor stomach, the spear did not penetrate too deep, at least it should not be fatal.

With the support of his personal guards, Han Qing looked into the city of Pengcheng.

The fire in the city rose, which was the action of other Ming troops in the city.

Anyway, it is naturally impossible for everyone to know about the plan, so only a small number of people know about it, and many people are notified before the incident happens.

In fact, Han Qing only knew which of the four Yingchuan clans were ready to rebel.

Yinglangwei and them are only in one-way contact, except that they have communicated with each other from the Yingchuan Fourth Clan, which one of the other aristocratic families wants anyway, and which one has already established contact with Yinglangwei.

The Eagle Wolf Guard didn't tell them, but said that when the time comes, as long as the person with the ocher flag is a friend, tell them to do what kind of things, and then just stay where they are, everything will be done according to the plan, and there is no need to do anything else things.

"It's really useless..."

Han Qing leaned against the crenel of the city wall, the pain from his abdomen made the cold sweat on his forehead flow down uncontrollably.

And at this moment, he heard a chaotic sound coming from the east.

"What happened to the east?"

Han Qing frowned and asked.

Everyone looked at each other without knowing it, because they were all beside Han Qing.

Han Qing cursed with the veins on his forehead exposed.
