Chapter 47 Night Attack on the Yellow Turban Camp
Seeing that the leader Lu Daqing was reflected and died, Xu He was greatly motivated by the Han soldiers on the top of the city. He shouted hatefully: "Wang Kui! Fang Ping! Shi Xin!"
"The last one will be here!"
Wang Kui, Fang Ping, Shi Xin and three Yellow Turban generals responded at the same time.
Xu He ordered: "You three will lead 5,000 troops and horses to take me the other three city gates. The first one to break through the city gate will be rewarded!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
Wang Kui, Fang Ping and Shi Xin were very happy. Isn’t this a good time to make achievements?
The three of them each ordered five thousand troops and headed towards the east gate, south gate and north gate of Dongpingling County.
On the top of the city.
Seeing the Yellow Turban Army's troops mobilization, Tang Yun knew Xu He's plan, and he was to divide his troops to attack the other city gates.
There are 1,000 soldiers guarding each of the East Gate, the South Gate, and the North Gate. Tang Yun was relieved to guard the Tang family generals.
Tang Ershi, Tang Sanshi and Tang Sanshiliu and other Tang generals would divide their 1,000 troops into two batches, 500 people in batches, and take turns to defend the city according to the original combat plan.
It is not difficult to deal with the attacks of these Yellow Turban Army. After all, these Yellow Turban Army are not elite, but also chaotic troops that both men, women, old and weak.
Tang Yun was not worried that the other three city gates would be lost. All he had to do now was to keep the Ximen firmly.
This time he fought against the Yellow Turban Army, he did not ambush an ambush outside the city as before.
First of all, the Yellow Turban soldiers were numerous, with a total of 30,000 or 40,000. Even if they were ambushed, the number of people was too small, they would not be of any effect.
Furthermore, with the lessons from the previous battle, the Yellow Turban Queutecs general Xu He is not a fool, so how can he be without defense? If an ambush is set up to raid, he may fall into Xu He's trap instead.
As time goes by, Tang Yun has ordered a defense change.
The first batch of five hundred soldiers guarding the city retreated in an orderly manner, while the second batch of five hundred soldiers was ready to go and quickly replenished.
The third batch of 500 soldiers were also prepared in advance.
The first batch of five hundred soldiers guarding the city only lost dozens of people, almost all of whom were injured by arrows reflected from the city, while the Yellow Turban Army lost one or two thousand, which was a huge fruit.
Under the command of Tang Yun, the second batch of five hundred soldiers firmly held firmly for another hour. In the later period, when the huge rock rolling wood was consumed severely, the Yellow Turban Army had begun to climb to the top of the city.
But these Yellow Turban troops who climbed to the top of the city were quickly killed, and the defense of the city wall was still firm.
When the second batch of troops were removed, more than 100 people were lost, only about 400 people were left. This was just a case of being killed or seriously injured or disabled and unable to continue fighting. It was not considered minor injuries.
The second batch of soldiers went down to rest or cure the wounds. The third batch of five hundred soldiers quickly replenished them, and the fourth batch of five hundred soldiers had also prepared in advance.
Another fierce battle lasted for another hour, and the third group of soldiers guarding the city also lost more than a hundred people.
While the third batch of soldiers guarding the city were withdrawn and repaired, the fourth batch of five hundred soldiers quickly replenished. At the same time, the first batch of soldiers and horses that had been repaired were also prepared in advance.
When more than half an hour passed, the fourth batch of 500 soldiers guarding the city had lost seventy or eighty people, the Yellow Turban Army's offensive finally stopped.
The battle has been fought for three or four hours, and the Yellow Turban Army is exhausted, and people have to eat. The battle for seven or eight hours has consumed a lot of physical strength. The soldiers are already hungry. Can't fight hungry?
Besides, it's getting dark.
The Yellow Turban Army's offensive stopped, retreated for several miles, set up camps, and began to bury the pot and cook.
At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army at the East Gate, South Gate and North Gate also stopped its offensive. The three Yellow Turban generals lost many troops, but did not break through the city gate. The city walls were like giant beasts that devoured human lives, and devoured the lives of many Yellow Turban soldiers.
Three Yellow Turban generals withdrew their troops. When they saw the commander of Qu Xu He, they were all covered in dust and reported their own losses. The three routes of people lost more than a thousand, which in total actually lost four or five thousand soldiers.
In addition, the Ximen, who was the main attacker of Xu He, came down two or three hours and the battle was fierce. This city gate alone lost four or five thousand soldiers!
Today, nearly 10,000 people were lost, and the four gates of Dongpingling County were all unbreakable!
Since the uprising, the Yellow Turban Army has been almost invincible wherever it has passed. As one of the commanders of the 36-party canals, Xu He was originally full of confidence, but unexpectedly, he hit a nail for the first time and was covered in dust!
"The Tang family's children are so hateful! I'm the man who ordered me to repair it for a day and continue to attack the city tomorrow!"
In the camp, Xu He issued a harsh order.
Even though he lost nearly 10,000 troops in one day, he still had as many as 20,000 to 30,000 troops in his hand.
The city has only a few thousand soldiers and horses. How could it not be lost after a day of battle?
In addition, the huge rocks and rolling wood in the city have been consumed almost the same amount, and it can no longer stop the Yellow Turban Army from climbing to the top of the city. How could Xu He not pay attention?
The offensive will only get smoother and smoother!
He wants to see how long the Tang family children can last!
...
Inside the city.
Tang Yun has also ordered the soldiers to repair their injuries and eat.
After the battle this day, more than 300 soldiers and horses at the Xicheng Gate were lost in total, and more than 1,600 were left.
The battle situation at the East City Gate, the South City Gate and the North City Gate were also very fierce. More than a hundred soldiers and horses were damaged, leaving eight or nine hundred soldiers.
Tang Yun counted the results of the battle. The four city gates lost a total of six or seven hundred soldiers, and there were more than four thousand soldiers left in the city.
On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army may have lost nearly 10,000 yuan.
Such a result is already very abundant.
Tang Yun understood that today's huge rolling stones and arrows consume a lot of money.
If it comes tomorrow, defending the city will probably not be so simple, and the loss of troops will become bigger and bigger. I am afraid that it will not be as simple as losing only six or seven hundred troops in one day.
If you continue to fight like this, you may lose one or two thousand soldiers in a day. If you don’t need two or three days, you will be able to consume all the soldiers in the city and you can only recruit soldiers temporarily and expand the army.
Although the Yellow Turban Army will not suffer any losses, such a tough battle was not what Tang Yun wanted to see.
He decided to take the initiative to attack the Yellow Turban Camp at night!
……late at night.
Tang Yun took the lead and came to the gate of Xicheng.
Tang Yi and Tang Er's thirty-six generals of the Tang family have arrived, all of whom are riding war horses, holding spears, and arranged in the last place.
Further down the road, more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in the city have arrived.
Tang Yun's plan was to lead the 36 generals of the Tang family to raid the Yellow Turban Camp late at night, and more than 4,000 soldiers and horses were blocked and killed in the rear.
Thinking about the Yellow Turban Que, Xu He, the general of the Yellow Turban Que, would not have thought that the only thousands of soldiers in Tang Yun dared to take the initiative to attack.
The 36 generals of the Tang family are all qualified generals with extraordinary martial arts skills. Such high-end combat power, coupled with such top generals as Tang Yun, naturally they have to use them.
The West City Gate is open.
The 36 generals of the Tang family led by Tang Yun rode their horses to the Yellow Turban camp several miles away to kill them.
