Chapter 85 (1/2)
After a little rest in Junxian County, Liu Ye's headquarters went south. After passing through Junxian County, it was huaixian County, and then he formally entered the school Wei Department of Sili, the central area ruled by the Han Dynasty.
Since the outbreak of the Yellow turban rebellion, Emperor Ling ordered eight passes around Luoyang to be under martial law. However, the inspection of the surrounding areas was not as strict as that around Luoyang. Liu Ye led his troops to the south of Huai County, passed through Guancheng, and went to Xinzheng. On the way, they also experienced several battles. Naturally, the group of villagers who came from Junxian county were naturally nervous.
However, the Licheng army led new soldiers with veterans. The number of new recruits was no more than 200, while that of elite soldiers was only one to four. Under the leadership of veterans, they soon integrated into the Licheng army. After all, the Hebei people were skilled in horsemanship and could do with a little bit of practice. Although they were not able to compare with the 300 elite riders for a while, I believe it can be done only after a big war It has metamorphosis.
If Liu Ye expands his army wantonly, like a yellow turban thief, he will not be able to hold thousands of people in his arms. By then, he will be defeated like a mountain. I'm afraid these 800 old soldiers will be scared away.
After Xinzheng, to the south is Yuzhou. The gateway to the north of Yuzhou is changshe city.
A month ago, Zhonglang's engagement with huangfusong was not favorable, so he led his troops back into the city of changshe and held the city firmly. We should know that huangfusong was a famous general of the Han Dynasty. What kind of army could drive him into the city?
People, people everywhere.
As a city, changshe city is no longer the most striking building in this land, because its luster has been taken away by another ”building”.
Outside the city of changshe, the Yellow turban bandits formed a company camp for tens of miles. They settled on grass and lived there. It was like a mighty long dragon, encircling the city on three sides, and almost swallowed up the city.
The city wall of changshe has long been in the fire of war. There are dark red blood stains in the cracks between the bricks and stones of the city wall. Dozens of arrows have been inserted into the body, hands and feet of an officer and army, which is full of them. It can be seen that the war is terrible.
Above the tower, more than a dozen shields jingle together, and a piece of armour looms, on which flutters the bright red tassel cluster.
”I don't think the Yellow turban thieves are so powerful that I'm trapped in the city and can't move.”
The general's hair was gray, his tired facial features were still resolute, and his eyes were bloodshot. He had been nailed to the head of the city for two days and nights without closing his eyes.
At this time, there was a change in the Yellow turban bandits' barracks. There were thieves with yellow scarves on their heads. Several people carried a ladder on their shoulders, and thousands of people came from all sides.
”Zhonglang general, moth thieves are going to attack the city again!”
It turned out that this old general was one of the three middle generals appointed by the imperial court. He was ordered to go south to yingyu.
”Prepare the rolling wood, the golden soup, and never let the Yellow turban thieves mount the city.”
The thousands of officers and soldiers guarding the city were originally the elite of the northern army in Luoyang City. They had been there for many days and were familiar with it. They immediately carried the rolling wood and stone from under the city tower, and a pot of boiling golden soup was boiling. The archers of the officers and soldiers were standing on the top of the city.
