After Li Xiang killed the six Yellow Turban canal commanders who were responsible for guarding Julu City, the Yellow Turban pawns were quickly defeated without anyone to command them, and the birds and beasts scattered in all directions.
In Julu City, countless knights wearing black clothes and armor were running through the city, chasing the yellow scarf soldiers who were escaping in all directions.
I saw a small group of cavalry rushing directly into the enemy's formation, and immediately penetrated the Yellow Turban Army and cut it into more than a dozen sections. Cavalry versus light infantry, a completely one-sided massacre. The Bingzhou Cavalry could easily kill the Yellow Turban Army by waving their lances at will.
On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army, without a leader, even forgot to resist. They only ran away with their heads in their hands, and soon fell down wailing as the Bingzhou cavalry ruthlessly attacked them.
Julu City, inside the city lord's palace.
"What was the result of this battle?" Li Xiang asked in a cold voice.
"My lord, apart from the fact that our army suffered some casualties when we captured the city gate, this battle was a one-sided massacre.
In addition, in this battle, 500 of our troops were killed, 300 were seriously injured, and 500 were slightly injured. Of the 30,000 Yellow Turbans, 10,000 were killed in battle, and 18,000 were captured by our army. Today, there are still 2,000 Yellow Turban remnants fleeing in all directions. Su Lie said respectfully.
Li Xiang's face lit up when he heard this. It was very rare to be able to capture a giant deer at such a small price.
Of course, the reason why there were so few casualties this time was that on the one hand, the Yellow Turban Army's defense was lax, while the Bingzhou Army launched a surprise attack, directly occupied a section of the city wall, and opened the city gate, allowing the army outside the city to rush in in time. Inside the city, the most brutal siege process was avoided.
On the other hand, it was the bravery of several generals of the Bingzhou Army. Under the leadership of several generals, the already elite Bingzhou Army rushed towards the Yellow Turbans guarding Julu City like tigers descending from the mountain.
Several of the Yellow Turban commanders were directly killed by Li Xiang shortly after the war started, instantly knocking down the morale of the Yellow Turbans and causing most of the Yellow Turbans to lose their will to resist.
However, after more than a dozen battles these days, the elite Bingzhou Army has also reduced its numbers by nearly two thousand, and now Li Xiang has less than eighteen thousand cavalry left.
"Lord, I'm so happy, so happy." Just as Li Xiang was deep in thought, a burst of surprise came.
Li Xiang looked up and saw Feng Yizheng striding towards him with a happy face.
"Gongsun (Feng Yizi), could it be that you met a young lady from some family, and you, who have always been calm, were so surprised." After the victory of the battle, Li Xiang also said with a rare joke.
Feng Yiwen blushed slightly after hearing this, but he immediately straightened up and mentioned the business to Li Xiang.
"My lord, I am very happy. I have found a large amount of money in the Yellow Turban treasury. It must have been obtained by the Yellow Turbans' plunder. According to my rough estimate, I am afraid it is no less than a million gold."
It was indeed a great joy. Despite Shen Wansan's presence these years, Li Xiang had not worried much about money.
But this does not mean that Li Xiang has spare money. The development of floating houses requires money, raising troops requires money, and relocating refugees from various places also requires money...
In short, there are countless places where Li Xiang spends money. Every time the money and food brought by Shen Wansan are often spent in various places before they are warmed in Li Xiang's hands.
Nowadays, the Yellow Turban's huge sum of millions of dollars is not a help in times of need for Li Xiang, but it is definitely a great help to Li Xiang. Next, Bingzhou will no longer have to worry about the funds needed for long-term development.
However, although one million gold is a lot of money, the Yellow Turbans have plundered several states since they started their army, and countless wealthy families were wiped out. All the wealth of the world belongs to the Yellow Turbans. Therefore, the wealth of the Yellow Turbans is definitely more than this, and its amount is definitely far beyond Li Xiang's imagination.
Li Xiang has already thought about whether to attack other important Yellow Turban strongholds.
But now we still have to deal with the money properly. Only by transporting it back to Bingzhou as soon as possible can it truly be in our hands.
However, Wang Qing's 200,000 Yellow Turban Army is still blocked in front of Huguan, and Li Xiang cannot get through even if he wants to.
After thinking about it, Li Xiang felt that this matter had to be left to Floating Water Fang. Now that Floating Water Fang's secret lines were spread all over the Han Dynasty, he left the matter to them. Even if the shipment could not be returned to Bingzhou, there would always be a way to do it slowly. of.
…
A few days later, news of the destruction of Julu City finally reached Zhang Jiao.
"Bang," Zhang Jiao actually kicked over the table in front of him in anger.
"The Han army is really arrogant. They really think that we, the Yellow Turbans, have no one. There are only 20,000 people, but they dare to be so unscrupulous behind our army." Zhang Jiao said angrily.
Zhang Jiao didn't take this Han army seriously at first. As long as he conquered Yecheng and had his hands free, he would naturally have enough to deal with them.
But Zhang Jiao never thought that in his moment of indulgence, the Han army would directly attack Julu. You know, Julu is not only the headquarters of the Yellow Turbans, the place where the Yellow Turbans raised their troops, but also Zhang Jiao's hometown.
Hearing that Julu City was destroyed, Zhang Jiao was also filled with rage.
"Good teacher, I'm going to fight. We can't let the Han army continue to be so reckless. Now the Han army has taken advantage of the absence of the main force of our army to continuously attack more than ten Yellow Turban cities." Zhang Niujiao was also furious and asked immediately Zhang Jiao asks for a fight.
"Good teacher, the last general is calling for battle."
"Good teacher, the last general is calling for battle."
"Good teacher, the last general is calling for battle."
…
Zhang Niujiao, who is also a member of the Thirty-sixth Fangqu Division, has asked for a fight. Naturally, the others will not let Zhang Niujiao stand out. Immediately, regardless of whether they were sincere or not, they all stepped forward to express their determination first.
When Chi You saw this situation, although he still thought it was inappropriate to divide his troops, he was afraid it would be difficult to stop it now.
What's more, Chi You also thought that the Han army behind him was a little too presumptuous and it would be better to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Zhang Jiao looked around at the people in the big tent and saw that no one objected to sending troops, so his decision became more firm.
"Open your horns and listen to your orders."
"The last general is here." Zhang Niujiao was delighted when he heard that Zhang Jiao actually ordered his general, and he immediately stepped forward and answered.
"Niu Jiao, you have always been prudent in your work. This time, you will lead an army of 100,000 to eliminate the Han army." Zhang Jiao said calmly.
Zhang Niujiao felt even more happy when he heard that he really was leading the army, and that he was fighting against 20,000 with an army of 100,000. It was all for nothing.
"Don't worry, good teacher, if we can't get rid of that Han army, Niujiao will raise his head and come to see you." Zhang Niujiao promised Zhang Jiao solemnly.
"Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Yu Digen, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Wei, Luo Shi, Lei Gong, you guys will assist your senior brothers in the battle."
Naturally, Zhang Jiao would not let Zhang Niujiao go alone, and immediately ordered the generals of several other people.
However, Zhang Jiao actually sent nine yellow scarf commanders to fight at once, which shows how angry Zhang Jiao was at this time.
