In the sixth year of Chuping, March.
Millions of Yellow Turbans suddenly came out to attack Wei County, conquering several cities in succession and approaching Yecheng.
A large army besieged the city, and now Yuan Shao, who was sending troops to Youzhou, was also anxious.
Yecheng is their hometown. The families of many generals are in Yecheng. If Yecheng is destroyed, their families will become prisoners of the Yellow Turbans.
Everyone is familiar with the Yellow Turbans. Of course, the Yellow Turbans persecuted the nobles very severely. Once the city was destroyed, their families would probably be ruined as well.
Therefore, Yuan Shao's advisers and generals panicked.
Although Yecheng is the center of Jizhou's governance, it is true that Yecheng's defense is not high, and the defenders inside only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Yuan Shao and the others didn't know whether they could stop the Million Yellow Turbans, but he didn't dare to bet, because if he lost the bet, his losses would be huge.
Gongsun Zan was defeated by him. Now is the best time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory. He cannot let the opponent slow down.
But his hometown is important. If he can defeat Gongsun Zan once, he can defeat him twice.
So in the end, Yuan Shao led his army back to Yecheng, leaving only a small number of troops and horses, and handed them over to Ju Yi, letting him continue to pursue Gongsun Zan.
Yuan Shao quickly returned reinforcements and finally rushed back to Yecheng before the city was destroyed.
At this time, the city of Ye was in danger and was about to be destroyed.
But he finally came back.
"Second brother, Yuan Shao is back."
Outside Yecheng, in the Yellow Turban camp, Zhang Liang looked at his second brother.
"What a pity! If we were given two more days, this Ye city would be destroyed."
Zhang Bao looked at Yecheng in the distance with a look of regret on his face.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Yuan Shao's army returned, bringing back a total of 500,000 troops. These troops were all elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield.
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan also fought for several years, and the soldiers and horses under their command gradually became the elite soldiers they are today from being young and strong at the beginning.
Those generals have also experienced it.
Today's Yellow Turban Army is no longer as powerful as it was back then, capable of sweeping the world.
They are one of the few remaining Yellow Turbans in the Taihang Mountains.
The eldest brother's dying request was to lead the Yellow Turban Army of Taiping Road to survive.
Zhang Bao knew that his army of millions was definitely no match for Yuan Shao, although they had the advantage in terms of numbers.
But among the millions of soldiers, there are only less than 100,000 elites, and the rest are no different from those bandits.
"There will be a fight with Yuan Shao tomorrow, and we will withdraw."
Zhang Bao said that Yuan Shao's army was rushing back like crazy. They must be exhausted and could not recover in one night. He wanted to try to see if there was a chance.
If they can be defeated, Wei County in Yecheng will become the Yellow Turban camp.
When Zhang Liang heard this, he did not refute, and he was unwilling to just go back. Although this time they went out and destroyed several cities and grabbed a lot of food.
But they all know that Yecheng is the richest city in Jizhou.
If Yecheng could be looted, the food and grass obtained would definitely be enough to sustain tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in the Taihang Mountains for more than half a year.
They also opened up fertile fields in the Taihang Mountains, but after all, the mountains were not as good as the plains, and the food production was not enough.
Every year they need to go out of the mountains to grab food from various places.
If they can rob Yecheng this time, plus the food the man gave them, it will be enough for them for a year. During this year, they can train a strong army in the mountains, and then wait to go out again next year.
After all, the mountains are not a place to stay for a long time. The senior leaders of Taiping Road also know that if the Yellow Turbans want to survive, they must win a piece of the foundation.
This is the result of a joint discussion between the top leaders of Taiping Dao, and now that the world's princes are competing for hegemony, this is also their opportunity.
Even if they come out of the mountain, they will not let all the princes in the world besiege them again.
This time they attacked Wei Commandery, which was actually a test. If they could really defeat Yuan Shao, then their Yellow Turbans would come out directly.
After the two brothers Zhang Bao discussed it all night.
The next day, Zhang Bao didn't waste any time and asked Zhang Bao to lead his army to directly attack Yuan Shao's camp.
"kill!"
Facing the Yellow Turban's attack, Yuan Shao was also extremely calm. Long before, his counselors had reminded him that the Yellow Turban would not leave easily.
When the Yellow Turban army came, he also made arrangements.
The two generals under his command, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, led their troops to resist.
The two armies collided, one black and one yellow, fighting together.
Arrows rained like locusts. Yuan Shao's army had a lot of archers. In order to deal with Gongsun Zan's cavalry, Yuan Shao's army tried every means. The long-range attacks of the archers could have a certain degree of damage to the cavalry.
"Yellow Turban Warriors!"
Zhang Liang and a group of Taiping Dao masters suddenly shouted loudly and released spells. Suddenly, thousands of big men in the Yellow Turban army suddenly swelled with golden light, and their whole bodies also swelled.
"Damn it, it's the Yellow Turban Warrior"
Yan Liang's face turned cold when he saw this, so he shouted: "Junior brother, come with me to kill."
The Yellow Turban warriors are extremely strong, fearless of life and death, not afraid of pain, and are invulnerable on the battlefield.
Ordinary soldiers have no power to resist them.
Even the low-level officers in the army are no match for them. Only officers like them have the ability to hunt and kill.
The Yellow Turban Army had not seen each other for a long time. Yan Liang and the others seemed to have ignored this. They were suddenly attacked by the Yellow Turban Warriors and were suddenly stunned.
Although several Lian Gang generals rushed forward, half of the Yellow Turban warriors uukanshuwww.uukanshu.com rushed into their front army.
Each one was extremely powerful and invulnerable, as if they were monsters. In less than a cup of tea, they had already broken through, and Yuan Shao's sword and shield soldiers charged towards the bow and arrow camp.
The bow and arrow camp was so weak that it instantly seemed like glass, shattering at the touch of a touch.
In a short time, tens of thousands of archers were defeated by hundreds of yellow scarf warriors.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Yan Liangwen Chou's eyes were about to burst, and everyone suddenly became violent, and the gang energy around his body was violently exposed, as if he was about to tear the world apart.
Both of them are already generals above the seventh level of Lian Gang. In the past few years, their strength has improved rapidly after fighting Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun.
"kill!"
The two used their unique skills, swords and spears to ruthlessly harvest these yellow scarf warriors.
"Woooooooo..."
Zhang Bao kept watching from behind the army. The two men quickly harvested the yellow turban warriors. He had no expression on his face. When the yellow turban warriors became fewer and fewer, he knew it was time to withdraw.
He knew that without the Yellow Turban warriors, the Yellow Turban army would never be a match for Yuan Shao's army.
In the battle just now, he could feel the elite of Yuan Shao's army.
Except for those killed by the Yellow Turban warriors, other ordinary Yellow Turban troops faced Yuan Shao's army, and it took five or six people to replace one.
This is not only a matter of personal quality, but also a gap in weapons and equipment.
Anyway, the results of today's battle have been achieved. The Yellow Turban warriors killed at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. A rough calculation shows that Yuan Shao's army suffered at least 30,000 casualties today.
At the sound of the horn, the Yellow Turban army retreated like a tide.
"Senior brother, don't pursue me anymore, be careful of fraud!"
