The city gate opened, and nearly 200,000 Yellow Turban troops surged out and swept straight towards the Han army camp. In the dark night, it seemed like thunder was thundering, a great tide was surging, and the whole earth was shaking under their feet.

Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang led the army to the vicinity of the Han army's camp. Looking at the Han army's camp from a distance, they saw a chaotic scene in the Han army's camp. They seemed to be frightened by their sudden army.

Zhang Liang shouted excitedly: "Brother, attack!"

But Zhang Jiao frowned and muttered: "Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun are both famous generals of the generation. They are accustomed to fighting. How could they be so panicked? I saw through their plan before, but they were still able to stabilize the situation in a huge defeat. How can it be so bad at this moment!"

Zhang Liang did not think as much as Zhang Jiao thought. He just felt that the opportunity was too late to come again, and said urgently: "Brother, don't wait for the Han army to react, otherwise you will miss the opportunity! Give the order!"

Zhang Jiao suddenly felt something in his heart and shouted urgently: "The situation is not right! Retreat quickly!"

Zhang Liang was stunned and quickly asked: "Why is this?"

Zhang Jiao said solemnly: "This must be a trap! Huangpu Song Zhujun will never be so bad!" He looked at Zhang Liang and shouted: "Quickly retreat!"

Although Zhang Liang was confused and unwilling, he did not dare to disobey Zhang Jiao's order and quickly issued the order to retreat. The Yellow Turban army that had already approached the Han army camp hurried back, shouting "horse neigh, you push" I created chaos.

It is said that Liu Xian led his troops to ambush outside the West City Gate, preparing to intercept and defeat the escaping Yellow Turban Army.

However, they were surprised to find that the Yellow Turban Army approaching the camp did not launch an attack, but instead ran back.

Guo Lang on the side shouted anxiously: "No! The bandits must have discovered something and tried to escape back to the city!"

Liu Xian frowned. Zhang Fei shouted urgently: "Brother, attack! We must not let the traitor army escape!"

At this moment, the sound of huge war drums and horns was heard in the distance, followed by loud shouts and killing sounds. In the dark night, multiple waves of people were seen coming from three directions and rushing towards the fleeing Yellow Turban army.

However, the Yellow Turban Army had no intention of fighting and just ran for their lives.

Zhang Fei was very anxious and shouted again: "Brother!..."

Liu Xian was a little hesitant. He didn't want to fight the Yellow Turban army with the soldiers and horses he had managed to pull together. However, it seemed that he had no choice at this moment.

At this moment, Liu Xian noticed that the wasteland outside the city gate was overgrown with weeds. In many places, the weeds were as tall as a human being. Since it was late autumn and winter, the cold wind blew and hay was flying all over the sky.

Liu Xian's heart moved and he immediately shouted: "Set rockets! Set the grassland outside the city on fire for me!"

Guo Lang's eyes lit up and he shouted: "What a plan!"

Upon hearing the order, the crossbowmen immediately lit their rockets and fired towards the grassland outside the city gate.

The fire rain fell, and countless fire heads shot up from the grass, rolling and spreading in the blink of an eye, roaring like a demon that suddenly emerged from the ground!

The night was illuminated by the fire, and the flames grew rapidly with the help of the cold wind. In just a moment, it turned into a prairie fire! The night seemed to turn into day!

The fire expanded much faster than Liu Xian expected. Soon Liu Xian and the others could no longer stay where they were and had to retreat quickly.

The Yellow Turban army was rushing down to escape back to the city, but suddenly they found that the way ahead was cut off by the billowing waves of flames.

Many people tried to escape back to the city through the official road in the middle of the sea of ​​​​fire with a sense of luck, but they were burned to death by the flames and screamed in agony!

The Yellow Turban army was horrified and had to stop in front of the fire. At this time, the Han army behind them had already rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

The Yellow Turban Army in the rear group engaged the Han army. They were so panicked that they could not resist at all. They were rushed to pieces by multiple Han troops and were completely routed.

The defeated troops fled forward in panic, and the main force of the front team was also thrown into chaos. The entire Yellow Turban Army was in chaos. Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang were so frightened that they were at a loss.

At the critical moment, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang led their troops to bypass the sea of ​​fire in front and tried to retreat into the city from the southern gate.

At this moment, there was a loud killing sound in the darkness ahead, and countless black shadows were seen rushing towards them. The already panicked Yellow Turban Army suddenly saw such a scene, and was in chaos before engaging in battle.

Liu Xian led his army into the enemy's formation, charging and killing fiercely, smashing the Yellow Turban army to pieces. The Yellow Turban officers and soldiers threw away their helmets and armor and ran into the enemy's territory, where were they concerned about the life and death of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang!

In the chaos, Dian Wei beheaded Zhang Liang off his horse. Zhang Jiao was hit by an arrow in the chest and lay on the horse's back to flee!

At this time, Han troops from all walks of life came up to attack, and there was another mass killing. The Yellow Turban Army was scattered like dead branches and leaves under the violent storm.

When the battle ended in the morning, Zhang Jiao led the remaining defeated soldiers and fled into the city. Of the 200,000 troops who left the city, less than 10,000 returned.

When Zhang Bao saw that Zhang Jue was seriously injured, he was frightened and hurriedly rescued Zhang Jue into the mansion for treatment.

The defenders in the city saw that their own army was defeated miserably, and almost all of the 200,000-strong army was wiped out. Everyone was terrified, and an atmosphere of despair filled the city.

Huangpu Song, Zhu Jun took the opportunity to storm the city. The highly morale Han army rushed towards the city like a violent wave. Guangzong was crumbling like a small boat in the stormy waves!

However, the Yellow Turban Army did not collapse and continued to resist with all their might. The Han army attacked fiercely for a day and lost many soldiers and horses, but still failed to break through the city.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and at dusk, the Han army, whose attack momentum was no longer as strong as before, stopped the attack and retreated to the camp.

In the main tent, Huangpu Song and Zhu Jun praised Liu Xian for his agility, which laid the foundation for defeating the main enemy force, and praised Liu Xian for his achievement in killing Zhang Liang.

Liu Xian cupped his fists and said, "It was my brother Dian Wei who killed Zhang Liang. I don't dare to take credit!"

Huangpu Song, Zhu Jun's eyes showed great admiration, Huangpu Song smiled and said: "Liu Captain, there is no need to be modest. Your general's meritorious service is naturally your merit."

Zhu Jun said: "Now that the traitor army has been defeated and their morale has been greatly reduced, it is a great opportunity to defeat the traitor army in one fell swoop! However, the traitor army is still stubbornly resisting. If they want to defeat Guangzong, they will have to pay a high price!"

Everyone couldn't help but frown when they thought of today's brutal siege battle, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.

Cao Cao smiled and clasped his fists and said: "The rebel army is at the end of its rope now. In fact, it can be won in one battle!"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Cao Cao's face, and they were all curious about what clever plan he had up his sleeve.

Cao Cao continued: "The rebel army at the moment is not unwilling to escape, but is forced to be tight, so it will fight our army desperately. It is better to adopt the method of encircling three and missing one. Tomorrow the army will besiege on three sides, leaving only the north...

"

The people present were all veterans of the battlefield. Upon hearing this, they immediately understood his intention and praised him one after another.
