Under Yecheng.
The blood on the ground dyed the entire earth red.
A big Han officer on the city wall tried his best to behead an enemy soldier again. Then he looked to the left and right, and saw that the brother on the left had an arrow stuck in his right arm, but he was still chopping with his unskilled left hand. The face is ferocious.
The brother on the right is the captain of their team, but this captain has his eyes red with murder, roaring loudly, and there is even a trace of blood coming from the corner of his mouth.
When the Han soldier was about to go to support him, before he could move, a spear struck him fiercely. Without paying attention, he was stabbed straight into the chest by the spear. Before he could even scream, he fell to the ground and could not get up again.
The yellow turban soldier in front who had just beheaded the officer and soldier was not happy when he was struck by a sword light that came from nowhere. Then he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and unwillingly.
But this scene is just a microcosm of the battlefield today, and similar scenes are constantly happening on the city walls.
Life seems extremely fragile at this moment, and the cruelty of war can be seen from this.
When Li Xiang led the army, the two armies were fighting. In other words, these days, the Yellow Turban Army was constantly attacking Yecheng.
Today, at least tens of thousands of corpses have been buried under the city walls of Yecheng, including officers and soldiers, but more of them are from the Yellow Turban Army.
Li Xiang did not dare to neglect, so he chose a city gate where the Yellow Turban Army was weakest and killed it. There are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans outside the city. Once they are surrounded, it is no joke.
The cavalry, which has lost its charging power, is not much stronger than the infantry.
Seeing the reinforcements coming, Lu Zhi, the veteran Han general who was commanding from the city tower, immediately ordered the city gates to be opened when the reinforcements approached and let the reinforcements enter the city.
Every bit of strength is very important to today's big man. With Lu Zhi's sophistication, he is not willing to lose even one more point of his hard-won reinforcements outside the city.
Speaking of Lu Zhi, it is worth mentioning that the current Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not escort Lu Zhi to Beijing as in history, but instead sent Dong Zhuo to command the army. Therefore, Lu Zhi still commanded the army in the Jizhou battlefield.
After all, it was rare for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to stay awake for a period of time when he was in the current situation of the Han Dynasty. Although it still happened that Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng tried to bribe Lu Zhi but failed and framed Lu Zhi, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty not only did not do anything to Lu Zhi, but instead severely punished Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng.
When the Shichangshi saw this situation, he knew that he must not offend Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty because of Lu Zhi at this time, so he went out of his way and took the initiative to speak good words for Lu Zhi.
And the behavior of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty really won back the hearts of a group of veterans who yearned for the Han Dynasty.
Turning the perspective back to Li Xiang, the Bingzhou Cavalry was still very powerful, and Xue Rengui took the lead in the charge. This round of charge did not encounter any big trouble.
I saw Xue Rengui, dressed in a white horse and white robe, holding a big halberd and a strong bow on his waist, riding a horse in front of him. With a casual halberd, a row of thrusting spears were cut off. With another halberd, a red line appeared on the necks of the yellow scarf soldiers. Their bodies went limp and they all fell down. Then these yellow scarf soldiers The soldiers were trampled to pieces by the cavalry that followed them.
Chen Sheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal in the distance, naturally noticed the sudden attack of cavalry and quickly sent troops and horses to support him. Even the three thousand Yellow Turban warriors who were serving as trump cards beside him were sent over.
Speaking of which, Chen Sheng was quite annoyed these days. There were quite a few troops from the Han Dynasty coming to help these days. But half of the many support soldiers chose the city gate he was responsible for to attack. This was treating him like a soft persimmon.
But Chen Sheng couldn't do anything about it. Every time, he was succeeded in sneaking into the city by surprise, and even the damage he caused to the opponent was not that big.
Therefore, when Chen Sheng saw that the Bingzhou cavalry led by Li Xiang also chose the direction he was responsible for to kill, an unknown fire suddenly sprang up in his heart. In order to keep this Han reinforcements, Chen Sheng directly sent out the Yellow Turban warriors who had been reluctant to use them before.
Although Chen Sheng's timely support increased the pressure on Li Xiang's army. But Xue Rengui's expression remained unchanged. A large halberd danced rapidly in his hand, and the Yellow Turban soldiers around him were killed and injured. For a while, no one could get close to Xue Rengui.
It seemed that the Yellow Turban Army could not stop Li Xiang's army, but at this critical moment, the Yellow Turban Warriors rushed over.
This yellow turban warrior is worthy of being the elite among the elite selected by Zhang Jiao from millions of yellow turban warriors. I saw these three thousand yellow turban warriors all wearing yellow turbans, tall and tall, holding either big guns or strong shields.
The Yellow Turban Warriors actually had only three thousand men. Although they suffered a lot of casualties, they were able to delay the charge of the Bingzhou Cavalry for a moment. And in just a moment, other ordinary yellow turban soldiers slowly surrounded him.
The situation began to turn a bit unfavorable for Li Xiang.
At this critical moment, Xue Rengui stepped forward single-handedly and went straight into the Yellow Turban Army formation ahead. Xue Rengui was seen charging from left to right, slashing out the square halberd in his hand one after another. None of the soldiers standing in front of Xue Rengui could be his enemy.
Not long after, Xue Rengui seemed to have discovered his target. Then, Xue Rengui galloped on his horse, took the head of a Yellow Turban general, and hung his head on his horse.
But this unlucky general was Zhuang Jia, who was brought out by Chen Sheng. The Zhuang Jia's military force was only second-rate, and he couldn't even resist Xue Rengui's halberd, so he lost his life hastily.
Speaking of this villager, he is also a person who has left his name in history. He was originally Chen Sheng, a coachman. Six months after the uprising, Chen Sheng was killed by his plan on the way to escape. Finally, Zhuang Jia took Chen Sheng's head to ask for credit from the Qin army.
It's a pity that cause and effect reincarnate, but now he has become the first general under Chen Sheng to die in battle.
In the era of cold weapons, the role of strong generals is still very important, just like Xue Rengui at this moment.
Of course, this is also due to the low combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban soldiers, who mostly win with numbers and can only fight with favorable conditions.
Seeing how brave Xue Rengui was, all the Yellow Turbans were frightened for a moment, and no one dared to step forward again.
Naturally, Xue Rengui didn't pay much attention to these pawns. He turned his horse around, then joined the large army and continued to charge towards the city gate.
When Chen Sheng in the distance saw this large Han reinforcements rushing into Yecheng from him, he was so angry that he kicked over several of his own soldiers.
Of course, while Chen Sheng was angry, he also showed a hint of fear. Fortunately, he did not personally lead the troops to fight like last time. The Han reinforcements this time were much stronger than the previous ones.
He naturally saw Xue Rengui's performance, and he, Chen Sheng, was not sure that he could save his life in the hands of that white-robed general.
