The third episode of "Ge Zhaogong Creates Huangtian Again" begins with the climax of the decisive battle. On the outskirts of Rencheng when snowflakes are falling, the main forces of Ge Zhao's army and Tao Qian's army have a decisive battle here. This is the first time Ge Zhao has to fight in the wild after going south. Have a decisive battle.
Ge Zhao's shameless bullshit was immediately exposed by the audience in the barrage: "Tsk, the Thirty-Road Rebel King was killed like a chicken a few months ago. Doesn't it count as your decisive battle?"
Ge Zhao specifically answered this question in the next episode. He claimed that the battle was turned into a battle within a few minutes, so it was not considered a decisive battle, but this time it was.
In short, let's call this the first major decisive battle between the two sides, and now Ge Zhao's army is no longer what it used to be, and it still has a leader like Ge Zhao who has the ultimate ability to command.
The result is self-evident. Ge Zhao successfully defeated the main force of Tao Qian's army in the field battle, and almost launched a battle of annihilation, causing the opponent heavy losses.
"This will be the first day that will be remembered in history as the first time our army defeated the main force of the decadent reactionary feudal lords in a decisive battle."
The barrage in the video was very disrespectful, with taunts like "The Devil Comes to the World" popping up.
After the main force of Tao Qian's army was defeated, Ge Zhaodu became more courageous and simply took advantage of this hearty victory to lead a large army to surround Xiaopei.
The strategy for Xiaopei is still the same as before. While besieging Xiaopei without attacking it, the army will be dispersed to plunder the surrounding areas, mainly to stimulate the further increase in the number of refugees.
Tao Qian's army naturally refused to sit idly by, so after just suffering a defeat, he just collected property and squeezed out a supporting army from Xiapi.
This support army was once again defeated by Ge Zhaodu in a decisive battle in the wild: "After several years of hard work, Ge Zhaodu's army is no longer afraid of a decisive battle with the main force of the feudal lord. We, the people of Huangtian, have nothing to fear!"
Just listen to such self-proclaimed words. You really are a fool. However, someone in the comments summarized why Tao Qianjun became so aggressive:
It should be mainly caused by the bad move of sending troops to Beihai last year. The army was constantly drained of blood in the maneuvers. You see, Ge Zhaodu would definitely not dare to use his current army to compete head-on with Tao Qian's army during the Beihai attack.
No matter why Tao Qian's army became so aggressive, the defeat of the reinforcements meant that Xiaopei would no longer have any support, but despite this, the city still persisted for a long time. From the late winter of 192 until the autumn harvest of 193, It was eventually captured by Ge Zhao's army and became the second big city they occupied.
After all, Xiaopei has been facing plundering since before. Two tragic defeats in the field caused a lot of material losses, and finally ended up like this.
Compared with his "naivety" when he conquered Beihai, Ge Zhaodu was very mature this time and had no illusions about occupying the city for a long time. So after collecting all the support in the city, he led the main force to abandon the city and leave.
Of course, Ge Zhaodu did not completely abandon Xiaopei. He still divided an army here. After all, what if there is an emergency, right? Unfortunately, Xiaopei's army was defeated by Tao Qian's army and captured the city within a few months.
However, this has nothing to do with Ge Zhaodu. He went south to explore new world at that time.
"It has been nearly 4 years since Ge Zhaogong created Huangtian again. You can see the two years of fighting. It cannot be said that the soldiers are not working hard, but the power of the northern feudal class is too strong. Even if we are short-term Even though the city was destroyed, it was unable to gain a foothold and could only remain a rogue bandit."
"So Ge Zhaogong, who is both civil and military, has judged that the north is not conducive to the development of Huang Tian's career, and our way out should be in the south."
"It is true that because the south is vast and sparsely populated, various conflicts are not as serious as those in the north. This is reflected in the game in that the number of refugees is smaller, and it is not strong enough to replenish our troops."
"But on the other hand, it also means that the south is weak, and the little bully has not yet swept across Jiangdong. It is the best time to cross the river at this time."
"After considering these factors, Ge Zhaogong decided against all opinions and decided to abandon the north where he had struggled for three years and go to the south to develop Huang Tian's career."
"Then the first question is, which way to go to the south? First of all, let's be clear, we can't go west, because we have to pass through Yuan Shu's territory. I will probably be killed, but to be honest, it's really a fool. Well, this time Yuan Shu actually becomes the overlord of the Central Plains."
"Even if we try our best to cross Yuan Shu's territory, we will still face the obstruction of Liu Biao's army. At this time, Liu Biao's army controls Jingzhou and his rule is quite stable. It will be even more difficult to cross the river."
"So Ge Zhaogong's best route is to go south along the coast, return to Xiapi from Xiaopei, and then cross the Huaihe River through Hailing Port in Xiapi. On the other side is Guangling, controlled by the weak Zhang Chao, which is not difficult to deal with."
This time Ge Zhaodu was not slapped in the face. Zhang Chao relied on the advantage of a remote location to defeat two expeditions by Yuan Shu's army. In the process, he caused serious losses, leaving him with little surplus power.
Logically speaking, if Zhang Chao retreated to Guangling, Ge Zhaodu, who was in a hurry to go south, would undoubtedly circle the city, but I don't know where the other party got the confidence to lead his army to attack Ge Zhao.
As a result, Zhang Chao suffered a disastrous defeat in the field battle, and unfortunately became the second force leader to be executed by Ge Zhaodu after Kong Rong.
After the execution of Zhang Chao, Guangling's capture was easy, and he entered the city in less than a month. Winter was about to arrive at this time, so Ge Zhaodu waited until the next spring before evacuating.
Before Ge Zhaodu left, he detached a branch of General Huang Tian in the local area. Although he knew that this kind of rule was quite unstable, if there was an emergency, maybe he would be able to gain a firm foothold?
At this time, the Jiangdong area was divided by a bunch of princes, large and small. Liu Yao, Yan Baihu and Wang Lang were distributed along the coast. The northernmost part of Vietnam and Guangdong and Guangxi were controlled by Shi Xie. Liu Biao controlled some cities along the Yangtze River. As for the vast The mainland is a group of autonomous local governments.
In the three years since the collapse of the central authority of the Han Dynasty, such a separatist regime has been temporarily formed in the south. Historically, Sun Ce will cross the river a year later and sweep the south to establish his reputation as a little overlord.
But in this world line, Ge Zhaodu's remnants of the Yellow Turbans crossed the river to the south before their opponents, and stretched out their claws against this group of weak warlords.
"After defeating Zhang Chao, we entered the south. History will remember this great north-south reversal, marking a turning point in Huang Tian's career. What kind of enemies Ge Zhao's army will encounter after entering the south will be revealed later. "
, like a rogue, Ge Zhaogong started from Taishan and captured Beihai in 3 years, then passed through Xiapi and Xiaopei to Guangling, and finally started his march to the south from this city, and his subsequent development will be No matter what, we can only let the fourth episode of "Ge Zhaogong Create Huang Tian Again" be announced, and the third episode will end here.
