Chapter 360 (2/2)
Even if there were supervisors, it would be useless to hit them later. Under the pressure between life and death, more than ten thousand yellow scarf thieves suffered several rounds of arrow shooting, and then were suppressed by the regular infantry array of the officers and soldiers. Finally, they collapsed completely and retreated abruptly.
The main reason why the Yellow turban bandits were able to raid Wancheng successfully that night was that the Nanyang army under Yuan Shu suffered heavy losses and had no time to respond, which made them barely succeed.
But now let this group of inexperienced yellow scarf thieves and the elite soldiers under Yu Ban's command, naturally can't hold on.
”No escape!” Zhang Manbo was furious and killed the fleeing soldiers with a knife. However, despite Zhang Manbo's kindness and power, thousands of yellow turban thieves refused to turn back.
”If you step back half a step, make a decision!” Zhang Manbo was so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick.
”Damn it, I'm dead to move forward and dead to retreat. Why should I listen to you?”
”Yes! Is not Zhang man Cheng's younger brother? Zhang man Chengdu is dead, you are a fart. ”
Zhang Manbo was very angry when he heard that. Several ten people rushed to him and directly knocked him off his horse. He fell down.
The Han Army's spear and shield square array was all the way forward, and it was directly rolled over. More than ten spears were aimed at him and stabbed directly at him.
Pooh!
Zhang Manbo's eyes were wide open, staring at the sky in disbelief.
Isn't it that the sky is dead? When will Huang Tian come.
A moment later.
Military Sima Jiangyun held Zhang Manbo's head and said respectfully: ”General Yu, the thief will be Zhang Manbo's head here.”
Yu Jin glanced at it carelessly, nodded and said in a deep voice: ”how about the casualties in this war?”
”The yellow scarf thief is vulnerable! With the advance of our army, more than 3000 people were killed, more than 4000 captured, and more than 2000 people fled. ” Jiang Yunhui reports.
”Oh? What are the casualties of our army Yu Jin's face was calm, and he had expected the victory.
”There were dozens of casualties in our army, most of them minor injuries.”
”Good! Write a good report to Mr. Gongda immediately. ”
In March 191, Yu Jian led 3000 elite soldiers out of the Wuguan pass and raided Wancheng. With the force of thunder, he wiped out Zhang Manbo, Boqu and more than ten thousand people under his command, and completely smashed the possibility of yellow turban thieves in attacking the East-West trap.Moreover, because Yuan Shu was defeated by the Yellow turban thieves, he had to go to his hometown Runan County to seek a comeback. Therefore, Nanyang County, including Wancheng, was included in the imperial court's sphere of influence. Xun you immediately selected talents from the famous scholars in Guanzhong and those from the poor families to go to Nanyang County.
Nanyang County originally belonged to Jingzhou, which was also the northernmost County in Jingzhou. It can be said that it was the barrier of Jingzhou. When Zhang Xiu stationed in Wancheng, it was like a thorn in the back for Cao Cao, who was in the Central Plains. Liu Biao formed an alliance with Zhang Xiu and fought against Cao Cao Cao with Zhang Xiu.
Later, Zhang Xiu fell to Cao Cao, and Wancheng was ceded out. Jingzhou lost its strategic position. Later, Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to garrison in Xinye, becoming the first defense line of Jingzhou.
The strategic significance of Nanyang is very important. Liu Ye's mastery of Nanyang means that he can attack Jingzhou area to the north of Hanjiang River. Nanyang is facing Wuguan, and Nanyang has a strategic buffer.
At that time, the strategy put forward by Cao Cao included Wuguan, pointing out that Yuan Shao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others stationed in suanzao, while Yuan Shu, who occupied Nanyang, sent troops to force Wuguan to frighten them.
It can be said that it is of great significance for Yu Jin to win Nanyang County by lightning war. After the officials sent by Guanzhong to deliver civil affairs, Yujin left 2000 troops to defend Nanyang County temporarily, and warned local officials that if the Yellow turban bandits return, they can move residents into Guanzhong, and then lead more than 1000 elite soldiers to rush to Hulao pass day and night.
Because the news that Bao Xin led the army to go out but was defeated by the Yellow turban thief had been spread to Luoyang. Xun you immediately wrote to Yu Jin, pointing out that the Yellow turban bandits are arrogant and sharp, and their next target is likely to point directly at Hulao pass, so Yu Jin immediately leads the troops back.
After receiving the letter, Yu Jian did not dare to delay. He immediately led his troops back to Hulao pass, and within five days he rushed back to Hulao pass, guarding the pass with 8000 troops to prevent the yellow scarf thieves from attacking.
