Chapter 92
Tang Yun obtained the first merit and the great merit of killing Zhang Liang, which was also a great merit. This merit alone only needs to be properly operated, and with the General's Mansion as a backer, it is enough to take advantage of the position of the prefect of Jinan County.
It's not in vain that he fought desperately!
However, this time, more than half of the five thousand soldiers and horses under his command were lost, leaving only more than two thousand soldiers and horses, which made Tang Yun sigh that one general’s success was undone!
As a time traveler who has traveled through many years, he has long been accustomed to the indifference of life by ancient people.
This was the case in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. There were many people who starved to death. People in the world had already become accustomed to it, not to mention that they were originally on the battlefield known as the life-harvesting machine.
Even the Tang generals under Tang Yun and the soldiers who survived from the battlefield did not feel too much emotion. This was their mission and they had already made psychological preparations before going to the battlefield.
All Tang Yun could do was to return to Jinan County and provide more pensions to the families of these fallen soldiers.
The victory of this battle also completely changed the situation between the Han army and the Yellow Turban army in Jizhou.
Zhang Jiao led a remnant army of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and shrank the Guangzong City and did not dare to go out.
Lu Zhi sent his cavalry troops to clear the Yellow Turban Remnants in Jizhou, especially the surrounding Guangzong City, to achieve the situation of completely surrounding Guangzong City.
On the other hand, we should strictly prevent the attack of the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang.
In Quyang City, there is still the Yellow Turban Army of "General of the Earth" Zhang Bao, with a large number of people, fighting against Guo Dian, the prefect of Julu.
At the same time, Lu Zhi ordered the recruitment of siege equipment and prepared to capture Guangzong City in one go!
Tang Yun knew that Guangzong City was not that easy to attack. Zhang Jiao still had 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers, and they were all young and middle-aged people, and they were all Yellow Turban soldiers with faith.
It is still possible to have Zhang Jiao, a mobile "faith" that leads tens of thousands of troops to defend the city.
If it weren't for the history that Zhang Jiao died of illness around September, the Yellow Turban Uprising would not have been suppressed in just two months after Zhang Jiao died of illness.
If Zhang Jiao was not dead, with Guangzong City as the foundation, there were Yellow Turban Remnants from all over the world, which would be echoed from afar and would be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.
It is not known that it even reached a situation of confronting the Han Dynasty's court in the north and south, and being controlled by the north and south.
You should know that even after Zhang Jiao's death, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed in a short period of time, there were more Yellow Turban Remnants who caused chaos in various places.
The Heishan Army, known as one million, is also known as one million, as well as Bai Bo, Huanglong, Zuoxiao, Qingniujiao, Wulu, Liu Shi, Bai Rao, Sili, Luoshi, Yang Feng, Yu Du, Fuyun, Li Damu, Dahong, etc.
There are tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans with great power, and there are six or seven thousand people with low power, which is countless.
Later, there were even those who launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion again!
It can be seen that the strength of the Yellow Turban Remnants is so great that if Zhang Jiao does not die, even if he does not overthrow the Han court, he can still confront the Han court.
It’s a pity that Zhang Jiao died too early.
But Zhang Jiao's "credit" is also indelible.
The Yellow Turban Uprising had a profound impact on the political situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
In order to quell the war as soon as possible, the court laid off military power to the local area, which prevented the wave of the Yellow Turban Uprising from spreading rapidly across the country, slowing down the crisis of the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, it caused local governments to despise the court, which made ambitious generals or officials, by using their troops to seize the territory in the process of suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, opened the prelude to the melee of warlords in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and planted a long-standing cause for the separation of the Three Kingdoms.
Tang Yun is naturally one of these ambitious generals and officials!
Having a military territory and separating one side is exactly what he is currently doing.
As for the warlords' melee that followed, he naturally had the final say, so he had made mental preparations early on.
In the battle of Jizhou, Lu Zhi defeated the Yellow Turban Army.
On the other side of the battlefield, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also led their troops to defeat the Yellow Turbans.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun used fire attacks to defeat the Yellow Turban Que's more than 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, which was led by Bo Cai's army to arrive. They attacked Bo Cai's troops on both sides, causing Bo Cai's troops to collapse.
The two news reached the ears of Emperor Ling of Han, which immediately made Emperor Ling of Han, and was extremely happy. He also issued an order to reward the army and inspect the military situation.
Zuo Feng from the little yellow gate brought a lot of reward supplies to Lu Zhi’s military camp outside Guangzong City.
At this time, Lu Zhi and Tang Yun and other generals were already attacking Guangzong City.
Lu Zhi has ordered to recruit a lot of siege equipment to launch a large-scale siege.
This time the siege is much more organized and powerful than Tang Yun was in Dongpingling County when facing the siege of the Yellow Turban Army.
Outside the south gate of Guangzong City, there was a continuous sound of horns, which was as far away as the summons from hell.
The Han army's rows of shield soldiers took the lead and rushed towards Guangzong City. Behind were more Han army and the siege equipment pushed by the Han army, including cloud ladders, siege towers, nest chariots, and also known as tile chariots.
Needless to say, the role of the cloud ladder is used to climb the city wall. When the Yellow Turban Army attacked Dongpingling County, it relied on the cloud ladder to attack the city.
The other two types of siege equipment, the siege tower and the nest chariot, were not available to the Yellow Turban Army at the time.
Among them, the nest car is used to climb high and look far away and observe the enemy situation on the city wall. It was invented BC.
In 575 BC, during the Battle of Yanling, King Gong of Chu personally climbed the nest cart to observe the enemy situation, accompanied by Dazai Bozhouli.
The siege tower is a moving tower building. After pushing close to the city wall, soldiers can step directly onto the enemy's city wall from the platform on the top of the tower, or shoot against the archers on the city wall.
It was also the first time Tang Yun had come into contact with siege equipment like siege towers. Unexpectedly, such siege weapons appeared in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Didn’t it mean that this was invented by Europeans?
However, even if you have a powerful siege tower, a powerful siege tower, and a continuous stream of big Han soldiers, climbing the city wall through cloud ladders, it is still difficult to break through the city wall of Guangzong City.
With the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao in charge, the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall were still extremely firm even though they experienced a big defeat not long ago, which shows Zhang Jiao's personal charm.
Under the leadership of a Yellow Turban general, many Yellow Turban soldiers guarded the entire Guangzong city wall as strong as a turtle shell.
The Yellow Turban Army on the city wall shot against the big Han soldiers on the siege tower, and there were rolling wood, huge rocks, etc., and they smashed down like money. Many big Han soldiers were hit and screamed and fell down.
Occasionally, there were big Han soldiers who stepped up the city wall, and soon the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall were killed.
As a siege, the loss rate of the Great Han soldiers was extremely high.
Lu Zhi led Tang Yun and other generals to watch from afar, frowning.
Only 20,000 or 30,000 troops under his command were left. If he continued to consume this, he would probably have consumed all the troops before he captured Guangzong City!
You can't continue to attack like this!
Even Lu Zhi had no good idea when facing Guangzong City guarded by Zhang Jiao.
