Chapter 281 Aiding the Yellow Turbans in various places!
Chapter 281 Aid the Yellow Turban forces everywhere!
The Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across the entire Han Dynasty. If the state capital was the worst among the thirteen states, it was undoubtedly Youzhou.
Although other states also suffered from the Yellow Turbans.
However, various state capitals were able to mobilize a large number of troops to at least ensure that the state cities were not captured.
Even in Jizhou, where the situation was most serious, the Yellow Turban Army did not reach the state capital, but held the battlefield in a stalemate in the Julu and Guangzong areas.
The reason why the capital of Youzhou is so miserable is very simple.
The first is that Youzhou is located on the border and must often face pressure from foreigners outside the Great Wall. Therefore, the local army is controlled by counties and counties.
They even had to mobilize a large number of troops from Youzhou to guard the border.
For example, Gongsun Zan was not a county guard, but a captain, so the troops in his hands were naturally mobilized from all over Youzhou, and the capital of Youzhou contributed a lot.
However, as a result, Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, did not actually control many troops.
The second point is because Guangyang County, as the capital of Youzhou, is a battleground for military strategists.
The Yellow Turban Army is also very clear about this.
The Yellow Turban Army located in various state capitals is generally the most powerful.
As long as the state capital is captured, it is equivalent to destroying the power command center of a state, and then the counties can be slowly captured one after another.
Therefore, Guangyang County would become the target of concentrated fire. Once the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, it was attacked by a large number of Yellow Turban troops.
If it is in other states, once the state capital is in danger, troops from all over the country will be mobilized to support it to ease the situation in the state capital.
After all, they know very well the truth behind dying lips and cold teeth.
As long as the Yellow Turban Army in the state capital is eliminated, the threat of the Yellow Turbans will be reduced by half. In turn, after the state capital settles down, troops can be sent to rescue the counties.
But the situation in Youzhou is very special.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion in Youzhou was more serious than other places.
The governor of Youzhou could mobilize very few troops and was unable to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. Instead, it fell very quickly throughout the night, and in the end only one state city remained.
And when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, many troops that were supposed to be in Youzhou were actually fighting outside the Great Wall.
For example, Gongsun Zan's frontier army was one of the most effective armies in Youzhou.
He was immediately trapped outside the Great Wall and unable to return to aid Youzhou.
After the troops completely withdrew from outside the Great Wall and returned, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was already in full swing.
In the same way, the same goes for the army of Yuyang County, as well as some other counties, knowing that wars occurred frequently outside the Great Wall, they all wanted to take advantage and mobilize some troops to occupy the territory of the Wuhuan people.
Finally, there is another powerful Yellow Turban force, Qin Yuan!
He surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army, which shocked all forces at the time. He attacked Shanggu County at an extremely fast speed, leaving the surrounding counties in danger and could only use their troops to protect each other.
As for supporting Youzhou City, that is basically impossible.
Due to many reasons, Youzhou City has always been isolated and helpless.
It can be said that among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the situation in the capital of Youzhou is the worst.
Of course, despite this, Youzhou City's defense still blocked several waves of Guangyang Army's attacks.
It's just that I can't fight back.
But self-protection is still no problem.
This is also the idea of the army in Youzhou City. As long as they hold on, they will naturally send troops to support them after the situation in the court and other places calms down.
It's a pity that they can't wait for that moment.
"Reporting to the Governor, a large number of troops have appeared outside the city!"
A general hurriedly ran into the city lord's palace, his voice trembling.
At this time, Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, Liu Wei, the governor of Guangyang County, and some important officials were sitting around in the backyard.
Every official is more or less accompanied by some beautiful, disheveled women.
There is a stage in the middle with dancers dancing on it and singers singing next to it.
The battle is tense in the front, but it is life and death in the back.
It's simply a huge travesty.
For such a long time, they have experienced despair again and again and were almost killed.
But fortunately, Youzhou City's defenses were well-organized and very strong, and they were able to withstand the Yellow Turban Army's attack.
After all, Youzhou is located on the border and is often invaded by foreign tribes outside the Great Wall. The city's defense can be said to be the strongest among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that they have been able to persist for such a long time.
And during this time, they did not give up hope.
Orders were conveyed to various places again and again, hoping that they would send troops to support Youzhou City. Unfortunately, the assistance received was only tens of thousands of troops, which was a drop in the bucket and of no avail.
At the same time, they not only conveyed orders downwards, but also requested help from the court.
It is a pity that the imperial court is under great pressure now. There are countless requests for help from various places every day, so naturally it cannot control Youzhou.
Even the troops that can be mobilized will rush to support the Jizhou battlefield.
As for Youzhou, it can only be said to be dispensable, and it is impossible to send excess troops to help.
What's more, there is a Qin Yuan in Youzhou, and it is very difficult to defend him.
Even in the eyes of some court officials, if the Yellow Turban Rebellion continues, the entire Youzhou will fall sooner or later.
Although they knew the consequences, they still had no solution.
"knew!"
"Inform General Qian to take charge of the battle!"
"If the enemy's attack is fierce, you can activate the city defense formation to block the enemy's attack rhythm!"
Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, said nonchalantly.
When Youzhou City was attacked by the Yellow Turban Army from Guangyang for the first time, the Yellow Turban Army, numbering in the millions and covering the mountains and plains, surrounded the entire Youzhou City.
At that time, even Guo Xun felt that Youzhou City would inevitably be breached and become the first state capital to fall among the Thirteen Prefectures.
But after some tenacious resistance, they managed to hold on.
Although they paid a heavy price, they defeated the Yellow Turban Army's attack.
And relatively speaking, the Yellow Turban Army, which was the party attacking the city, suffered even more heavy losses.
After all, Youzhou City is the strongest city in the state.
Especially when the defensive formation is activated, no matter how fierce the Yellow Turban Army's offensive is, they still cannot break it.
Although most of the energy materials of the city defense array have now been consumed, it can still hold on a few times.
However, after several waves of strong attacks by the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army, they naturally suffered heavy losses and it was impossible to attack again.
Now both sides are constantly consuming.
It can be said that, except for the first few battles, the rest are almost all small-scale battles, just like completing daily tasks. Both sides are consuming each other to see which side can't withstand it first.
As the saying goes, once you are born again, you will be ripe again.
After experiencing such a long war with the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Xun was accustomed to the Yellow Turban Army's attacks and no longer even worried.
Even in your spare time, you can hold some banquets, drink wine, watch dancing, and have a lot of fun.
Moreover, the imperial court ordered all parties to organize troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, and at the same time decentralized a large amount of power.
Although the territory under his control now is only Youzhou City, the degree of freedom and the power in his hands are much greater than before.
Moreover, Guo Xun controlled all the troops in the city, and no one in the city dared to oppose him.
As long as you give the other party the name of being a rebellious party and colluding with the rebels, you can confiscate their homes and exterminate their families.
Guo Xun used this method to eliminate several enemies and officials who threatened him.
All the voices that opposed him in the past have completely disappeared.
To a certain extent, Guo Xun even enjoys his current life.
If the Yellow Turban Army outside the city is ignored, then Guo Xun will be the real emperor in Youzhou City, controlling the power of life and death.
"Why, why are you still standing!"
Guo Xun took a sip of the wine handed to him by the woman next to him and said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
He found that the general was still standing there. He really had no eyesight at all.
"Sir, the army attacking this time is not the same rebel army as before!"
"According to reliable information, this is an army supported by Shanggu County!"
"Now we are approaching the city, with millions of people!"
The general said in horror.
"What about the rebels from Shanggu County!"
"It's just a group of peasant rebels, relying on their numerical advantage!"
"But they don't have powerful siege equipment, how can they possibly attack the city?"
Guo Xun's face was slightly red, indicating whether he was sober or drunk.
However, Liu Wei, the prefect of Guangyang, who was lying in the arms of a woman beside him, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up after hearing the two of them talking to each other.
"What, the other party is really from Shanggu County!"
"Is it Qin Yuan's army?"
Liu Wei asked loudly, his voice drowning out the sound of the band.
Suddenly, the singing and dancing stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes focused on Liu Wei.
At first, they thought it was just the Yellow Turban Army from before, so they didn't take it seriously.
After all, there are still one million defenders in the city, and with the advantages of city defense, there is basically no problem in blocking the Yellow Turbans' attack.
However, when they heard the word Qin Yuan, everyone, whether drunk or not, was awakened.
Especially Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, didn't pay attention when he heard about Shanggu County, but when he heard about Qin Yuan, cold sweat broke out from behind him.
Not to mention Qin Yuan's previous achievements such as defeating Gongsun Zan and directly attacking Wuhuan's court.
Just the last two times, once he forcibly captured Shanggu County City, and once he became famous in a battle on the Jizhou battlefield and became famous all over the world.
Qin Yuan now is even more terrifying than Zhang Jiao.
As the governor of Youzhou, it is naturally impossible that he has never heard of Qin Yuan's name.
Especially Qin Yuan’s territory is within Youzhou.
Previously, he saw that Qin Yuan made no other movements for a long time after taking Shanggu County, so he thought Qin Yuan had no other ideas.
Unexpectedly, he finally showed his talents now.
Moreover, it points directly to Youzhou City.
"That's right!"
The general nodded.
"Quickly, notify all officials and generals to be on standby at any time, send orders to all major military camps, and mobilize all military personnel!"
After Guo Xun regained consciousness, he immediately ordered.
In the past, with the advantages of the city's high walls and thick defensive formations, it was able to withstand the attack of the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang.
But facing Qin Yuan's elite army, that may not be the case.
After all, the opponent has a precedent of breaking through the defensive formation.
What's more, Youzhou City's city defense array has been activated many times, and it has suffered considerable damage in the previous wars, and most of its various energy materials have been consumed.
Boom!
However, as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a light blue light curtain rising in the sky.
This is a sign that the protective circle is activated.
It's not the first time they've seen it.
I just didn't expect that the war started just after it broke out. It can be seen how ferocious the enemy's offensive outside the city was.
However, a scene that frightened them even more happened.
The light blue light curtain was subjected to huge impacts again and again. Even in the city lord's palace, ripples could still be seen rippling on the light curtain.
And then, clearly visible cracks suddenly appeared on the light screen.
Click.
A crisp sound covered the rumbling sound and resounded throughout Youzhou City.
Everyone was horrified to find that the protective circle collapsed at an extremely fast speed less than a moment after it was opened.
It’s over!
This is the only thought in everyone's mind right now.
The city protection formation can be said to be their last life barrier.
As long as the protective formation is not broken, the teleportation formation in the city can be used, and they can leave at any time.
This is why so many officials prefer to stay in the city rather than go to Luoyang or other states and counties.
Because they don't want to give up the power they have managed to build with great difficulty.
After arriving elsewhere, everything will eventually start from scratch.
The court may even charge him with fleeing without fighting.
Even though they have been threatened by the Yellow Turban Army, they still have no plan to leave.
But they thought that even at the last moment, if Youzhou City could not be defended, they would still have enough time to evacuate.
But no one expected that the city protection formation would be directly breached not long after it was opened.
This speed is so fast that it is simply too scary.
And this completely cut off their last chance to escape.
Boom!
Outside Youzhou City, a million-strong army led by Han Xin approached, and a murderous aura soaring into the sky swept through the entire Youzhou City.
Even though they were hundreds of meters away, the defenders in the city could still feel a terrifying sense of oppression.
Compared with the previous army, the army in front of us is definitely an elite and invincible army.
And the reality was just as they expected.
As the million-strong army approached step by step, several huge figures emerged from the sky.
It is the three sacred beast military spirits, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu!
The three great beasts soared into the sky and flew towards Youzhou City.
Upon seeing this, the general who defended the city immediately ordered people to activate the city's protective formation, blocking the attack of the divine beast's military spirit.
"The defense of this city protection formation is so powerful!"
"Yes, we are close to breaking through the city every time. It is because of the opening of the city protection formation that our attacks fail time and time again!"
"Without this city protection formation, we would have captured this city long ago!"
Gao Sheng and other Yellow Turban Qushuai said angrily.
"It's just a little trick!"
Han Xin looked at the city protection formation with disdain.
Under the strong attack of the three sacred beasts' military spirits, Youzhou City's protective formation was constantly shaking.
Because of several previous attacks by the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army, the strength of the current city defense array is obviously not as high as it was at the beginning.
As long as you keep attacking, you can still break it.
But Han Xin was not satisfied with this.
I saw him taking a step in the air, and like a flying fairy, he appeared in the sky above a million troops.
The eyes of millions of soldiers on the ground were all focused on Han Xin.
break!
Following a soft shout, the size of the three sacred beasts' military spirits suddenly exploded several times, and they landed on the city-protecting formation.
The previous military soul only condensed the power of three major legions, which was 300,000 troops.
Under the guidance of Han Xin, the power of millions of soldiers was concentrated on the three sacred beasts' military souls, causing their strength to suddenly increase.
With a crisp sound, the city protective formation collapsed, and countless defenders in the city fell to the ground, vomiting blood and died!
