Zhang Bao came out in anger. He didn't bring anything to camp with him. Besides, there were so many people and he didn't have that many tents and antlers. Now the army was in the field, defenseless. Once attacked by Sanhe Jingqi, it would inevitably collapse... The millions of troops disappeared into thin air...
…
The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. Ye Feng's soldiers were much lighter than the life and death of a million-strong army. Zhang Bao wanted to take revenge, but he wanted to live even more. Once the army dispersed, he would definitely die faster than anyone else!
Zhang Bao hurriedly sent an order: The entire army retreats and returns to Quyang!
Orders were coming out one after another. The Yellow Turban soldiers didn't know why, but they didn't dare to disobey General Digong's orders and withdrew from the battle.
Ye Feng and others had been forced to the city lord's palace at this time. The whole army gathered together and were about to organize a breakout, but they found that the Yellow Turban Army had retreated...
The Yellow Turban Army retreated, and the peripheral scouts were able to come in and report that Zuo Zhonglang's troops were approaching Xiaquyang.
Only then did Ye Feng and others understand why the Yellow Turban Army left at this juncture when victory was just around the corner. The enemy retreated hastily, and Niu Meng asked for orders to pursue them. Ye Feng promised that it would be better to be victorious and pursue the poor bandits. At this time, pursuit is most appropriate, and he was ordered to lead it.
More than 300 capable soldiers pursued him. Niu Meng's soldiers left happily.
Counting the men and horses, the cavalry did not go into battle and suffered no losses. There were less than 2,000 infantry left, including 1,000 archers, less than 800 swords, shields and spears. The total number of soldiers was only 2,000. The losses were heavy!
Ye Feng was depressed, with a sad look on his face.
Tian Feng and Ju Tu all said: Although my lord, this battle was tragic, it was comparable to Huo Yao and Li Duwei, who killed tens of thousands of thieves. The soldiers died in their due place, so there is no need to feel sad.
Ye Feng said sadly: "If the one killed was a vicious Xianbei dog, Feng would naturally be happy, but the victims on both sides were all Han people. Feng felt sad and slaughtered Han people, and Feng felt very guilty about it."
Tian Feng knew that Ye Feng's ambition was to drive away the Tartars, so he sighed and remained silent. Jushu said bitterly: "The rebel army is not peaceful, and the world is difficult to bring peace to. Foreign barbarians are even more rampant, and the traitor soldiers have invaded and caused chaos, and they have harmed the state and county.
If you bring about your own destruction, my lord will attack you in response to Heaven, so there is no need to blame yourself."
Ye Feng let out a long sigh and said: "The imperial court is unethical and the officials are forcing the people to rebel. However, the Yellow Turban bandit army burns, kills, and loots, which causes even greater disasters. Feng's killing is also the right way."
Tian Feng and Ju Shou said in fear: "My lord, be careful what you say!"
Ye Feng smiled calmly: "Since Emperor Huan used the eunuch's power to get rid of his cousin Liang Ji, both emperors Huan and Ling favored and trusted the eunuch. Emperor Ling even went so far as to call him his father. Since then, the eunuch has been in power, and the people are in dire straits. In the future, the wind will destroy the land.
To govern and do good to the people, what do Yuan Hao and Zi Fu think?"
Tian Feng and Jushou looked at each other and said, "My lord, my foundation is still shallow. This matter should be dealt with slowly and don't express your thoughts outside."
Ye Feng said: "Feng is not a foolish person, and naturally he will not speak nonsense easily." Yan Bi glanced at the two of them indifferently, saying this is only for you, this is forcing the two of them to express their stance.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou thought about it for a long time. They both stood up and bowed down: "The Lord will not betray the Han, Feng (Shu) will not betray the Lord!"
Ye Feng laughed loudly: "I am a Han minister, so I have no choice but to turn my back on the Han and dedicate territory to protect myself. It is just for the sake of the people! Yuan Hao, Zifu, please come up quickly."
Seeing that their loyalty has reached 99 points, as long as they do not betray the Han and stand on their own feet, the two of them will not betray themselves. Once they betray the Han, these two will definitely not follow. These scholar-officials and scholars are all of the same virtue as Xun Yu. They are poisoned.
Too deep, Jia Du Shi is still the master, Guo Gui is the master of Kong Laoer's way. This is probably the reason why these two cannot be top counselors.
Although the Yellow Turban Army left, they could not be careless. The entire army repaired the city defenses and took turns to rest. Niu Meng waited until night before returning and reported: "A certain man beheaded more than a thousand people and obtained more than a hundred pieces of weapons and armor. No one was injured."
This guy has been with Huangfu Song for a long time, but he didn't even capture a single prisoner!
Habits are hard to change, let alone what they have learned over the past ten years. Ye Feng did not criticize him harshly, but said a few words of encouragement. He ordered the troops to rest and rested for two days before sending them to Quyang!…
No one could stand the continuous battles. Ever since he knew the gap between him and the elite soldiers of the imperial court, Ye Feng really couldn't bear to sacrifice his own soldiers in vain. After transferring to another class, his combat power increased at least ten times. He spent the rest of his life fighting bloody battles with outstanding achievements. He died at this time.
What a loss. If Zhang Bao hadn’t arrived unexpectedly, how could we have lost so much! If we had broken through before Zhang Bao’s arrival, our losses would have been only one-tenth or two-tenths, but now we only have one day of bloody fighting but sixty-seven out of ten, and the intelligence is still not good enough!
Two days later, at dawn, all the troops were ready to go. The fatigue of the bloody battle had basically recovered. Because Niu Meng's troops set an example with their strong combat power, and they were moved by Ye Feng's personal decision to cut off the rear, the troops did not feel depressed because they were half-dead.
Impetuousness is gone. An iron-blooded warrior can indeed be trained through hundreds of battles.
The military organization has a great advantage in troop training, but in peacetime, few soldiers have experienced the test of blood and fire. Although the players and soldiers in the military have unified orders, there are fewer than Ye Feng, a master of hundreds of refinements.
It's majestic, thick, bloody, and perseverant. Not to mention other players. If Ye Feng is just the worst soldier of the Han Dynasty, theirs can only be regarded as civilians. No wonder the Yellow Turban Army has repeatedly failed miserably despite holding millions of people.
.
Ye Feng signaled his soldiers to pour wine, climbed up to the commander's platform, held up the wine bowl and poured it down, and said with emotion: "Ye responded to the court's call and raised troops to attack the bandits. Since coming out of Changshan, he has fought hundreds of battles, big and small, brothers have died, and Paoze has lost his companion.
Of the tens of thousands of people, only two thousand are left, and I am deeply saddened. I would like to drink this wine to the deceased."
He poured wine again and raised his bowl and said: "The Yellow Turban Army does not care about the people. The imperial court will win this battle and the Yellow Turban Army will be defeated. After the first battle, the Yellow Turban Army will be scattered and cannot cause disaster. However, when we go to Quyang, the enemy army is powerful and life and death are inevitable."
Unpredictable, I hope you all will support each other and rescue each other. Ye looks forward to returning to our Xinghan County with all of you, and Ye looks forward to whipping up the whip with all of you!" After saying this, he raised his head and drank the strong wine in the bowl.
The soldiers looked at each other in confusion. The soldiers did what I said before. They drained their bowls of wine and threw the empty bowls on the ground. The whole army knelt down on one knee and roared:
"Wherever the lord points, we are heading, where the lord is, we will follow you in life and death!"
"Wherever the lord points, we are heading, where the lord is, we will follow you in life and death!"
"Wherever the lord points, we are heading, where the lord is, we will follow you in life and death!"
After three defeats, the soldiers were convinced and respectful. Ye Feng's eyes filled with tears. He calmed down and raised his hands and shouted: "Raise the troops!"
Ye Fengyan strictly ordered Zhao Yun and others not to be greedy for credit, but to put the lives of the soldiers first! Ye Feng and Zhao Yun were at the front, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were at the left and right wings, and the two military advisors Zhao Pingyu and Zhao Pingyu were at the back to provide support, and each commanded their troops to march forward.
Zhang Baoling ran like crazy. At this time, he had entered Xiaquyang City, and most of the soldiers were not far away. Zhang Baoling breathed a sigh of relief and climbed up the tower. Before he could take off his armor, he saw dust flying in the distance and people outside the city shouting.
,...Huangfu Song’s elite troops from the front, Sanhe’s elite cavalry have arrived!
The cavalry was fast and soon caught up with the Yellow Turbans who were lagging behind. The ordinary Yellow Turbans were just a little stronger than the civilians. They were like trembling lambs in front of the elite cavalry. They were trampled by their spears and horses. It was miserable! The cavalry was approaching the city gate.
, Zhang Bao hurriedly ordered to close the door. The Yellow Turban Army did not have time to enter the city and fled in all directions.
Before the war started, Zhang Bao's troops had already gone from ten to twenty-three, and people's hearts were in chaos.
Zhang Bao regretted that he was too late, thinking about what Xuan Ming said, and sent someone to come forward. Soon his own soldiers reported back, but Xuan Ming's military advisor was nowhere to be found.
Zhang Bao was furious! But he had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh... He ordered his soldiers to guard the city and gathered all the commanders to go to the county government to discuss countermeasures.
