Just as the Yellow Turbans were retreating in panic, the gates of Pingxiang City opened wide.
The sound of drums shook the sky, and the sound of trumpets shook the earth.
The officers and soldiers poured out crazily from the city gate, roaring and charging towards the Yellow Turban Army.
"Quick, chase the enemy quickly, don't run away!"
"Whoever gets Zhang Jiao's body will be rewarded with 10,000 gold!"
Hearing Lu Zhi's reward, the officers and soldiers rushed forward with roars, as if there were mountains of gold and silver ahead of them, and they would not be able to take it if they arrived late.
Lu Zhi, wearing armor and protected by his personal guards, also pursued the Yellow Turban Army.
There was a reason why Lu Zhi pursued him personally.
Now there are 30,000 officers and soldiers. Even if the Yellow Turban Army is ambushed, Lu Zhi can still fight.
"General, there is a school captain leading an army in pursuit ahead. You'd better not put yourself in danger."
Seeing that Lu Zhi was pursuing him personally, the guards quickly dissuaded him.
Lu Zhi was a Confucian general who was good at strategizing and commanding. Charge into battle is not his strong point.
Lu Zhi laughed and disagreed.
"Although I am not a brave general who can defeat thousands of people, I still don't take these traitors lightly!"
"The death of Zhang Jiao is strange. I always feel that there is a trick! If there is an ambush by the Yellow Turban Army, the nearest place is Mawei Forest, which is fifteen miles away."
"Now the Yellow Turban Army is in chaos and is on the verge of a rout. There are cavalry in front to slow down the Yellow Turban Army's retreat, and the army behind them pursues them with all their might. By the time they reach Mawei Lin, they have wiped out at least ten thousand enemies."
"If we don't enter the Horsetail Forest by then, even if Zhang Jiao is not dead, he will probably be pissed to death!"
"If there is another ambush, I will take command from my seat. The morale of the army will be as high as a rainbow, how can we not be victorious?"
Lu Zhi stroked his beard with his hand, looking proud of himself. He is very confident in his ability to rule.
No matter how brave the Yellow Turban Army was, in his eyes they were just a bunch of random people.
The current Yellow Turban Army is really a word, chaotic.
Lu Zhi's statement of annihilating more than 10,000 enemies was conservative. Now Zhang Jiao's 40,000-strong army had dispersed, each of them scrambling to escape.
Zhang Jiao was killed before the siege began.
For the Yellow Turban soldiers, it was like the sky had fallen.
The leader of the Yellow Turban quickly denounced the rumors and had just calmed down some commotion. The army in front retreated hurriedly.
As soon as the front army retreated, the Chinese army was suddenly in chaos, and the already panicked rear army was even more out of control.
Zhang Jiao is dead!
General Tiangong was killed in battle!
This sound immediately spread throughout the Yellow Turban Army, and the great escape began.
If they are said to be powerful in combat, they will definitely have nothing to do with the Yellow Turban Army.
If we talk about the effort of escaping, the officers and soldiers will definitely be out of reach!
Once the team broke up, everyone began to ignore it and just ran for their lives!
This chaos was brought into full play under the leadership of the leader, Xiaoqushuai!
They pushed each other and cursed each other, as if they were not companions but enemies!
Then they trampled on each other and drew their swords at each other!
Before the officers and soldiers could catch up, the Yellow Turban Army had already suffered heavy casualties!
This is the drawback of turning the people into an army!
There is no military discipline and rules, and there is no general to lead.
As the officers and soldiers beat loud drums and went out of the city to pursue, the Yellow Turban Army ran back like a frightened bird.
Zhang Jiao had already promised to flee to Mawei Forest after defeat, but he never expected that it would turn out like this!
The situation was so chaotic that it could no longer be described as defeat.
The Yellow Turban soldiers were like a fan, running frantically for their lives. Wherever no one is running. I don’t care what was told above!
Weapons, battle flags, and armor were scattered everywhere, and I just said "Run" in my mind. I only regretted that my parents had lost two legs.
The Tunqi and Yueqi behind the Yellow Turban Army were also confused. Why were they defeated before they even attacked the city?
Not an ordinary defeat, but a disastrous defeat, a rout, with no ability to fight back!
"Could it be that he was cheating and failed?"
The Tun Cavalry Colonel looked at the Yue Cavalry Colonel's face with confusion. He had fought with the Yellow Turbans several times, but this had never happened before.
The captain of Yueqi was also very puzzled. Isn't the price of cheating defeat too high?
How many people have died from trampling each other and killing each other? No matter how many people the Yellow Turban Army has, they can't help but suffer like this, right?
"No matter what, General Lu ordered us to hold back the Yellow Turban thieves. Military orders cannot be violated. We should attack quickly and harass the Yellow Turbans' escape speed."
The Yue Cavalry Captain nodded, and then the two men led the cavalry respectively to harass the Yellow Turban Army from both ends.
After the cavalry entered the scene, the effect was remarkable. The Yellow Turban Army, which was supposed to be fleeing frantically, slowed down.
The scene of thousands of cavalry charging was so shocking that many yellow scarf soldiers fell to the ground in fright.
The yellow turban soldiers behind them didn't care and just stepped on them.
While the cavalry was slowing down the Yellow Turban Army, the officers and soldiers led by Lu Zhi were already pursuing them.
The officers and soldiers had been forced to defend the city, and they were already filled with hatred. Now they were chasing the fleeing Yellow Turban Army, venting all their anger at once.
This scene seems to have happened not long ago, and it is true. That was when Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were chasing the Bocai tribe.
"Zhang Jiao is dead!"
"Zhang Jiao is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Whoever seizes Zhang Jiao's body will be rewarded with 10,000 gold!"
Originally, the Tunqi and Yueqi did not come into contact with the Yellow Turban Army, but only harassed them from the flanks.
The two captains were very rational. They knew that rushing the cavalry into the crowd would easily cause casualties.
But I heard that Zhang Jue was dead and his body was still among the rebels. Greedy desire instantly defeated reason.
The temptation is too great! If we grab Zhang Jiao's body, we will definitely be able to make him a marquis!
Why do they go through life and death as soldiers? It’s not just for the sake of becoming a lord and a general, and blessing future generations!
"No matter what, the whole army breaks into the Yellow Turban Army formation and snatches Zhang Jiao's body!"
The two captains ignored Lu Zhi's military orders and ordered them to rush into the enemy army and seize the corpses.
Thousands of cavalry rushed into the ranks of tens of thousands of people, causing huge casualties, but the momentum was quickly curbed.
Once the cavalry loses its speed and gets stuck in the quagmire of the battlefield, it becomes little different from the infantry.
Seeing that they could not escape, the Yellow Turban soldiers began to fight hand-to-hand with the cavalry.
Without the harassment of the cavalry, the troops retreated much faster.
The Yellow Turban Army was bent on escaping, and the distance between them and the officers and soldiers was at a stalemate. One of them escaped and the other chased them.
Some of the exhausted Yellow Turban soldiers fell to the ground. The officers and soldiers did not want to take prisoners. They killed them directly with the sword in hand, which further stimulated the Yellow Turban army to flee.
The distance of fifteen miles would take a long time to walk on normal days.
Under the stimulation of life and death, it arrived in less than an hour.
The Yellow Turban Army went straight into Mawei Forest, and the officers and generals didn't care much. They rushed into Mawei Forest and snatched Zhang Jiao's body.
When Lu Zhi arrived at Mawei Forest, the troops had already lost control and poured into Mawei Forest crazily.
broken! Lu Zhi had a bad feeling in his heart.
