Chapter 502: Jedi Counterattack
Liu Bei left and no one took the credit. Dong Zhuo was afraid of long nights and heavy dreams, so he ordered an all-out attack on the city.
The city is in a desperate situation, and many officers and soldiers have boarded the city. The Yellow Turbans and the officers and soldiers are already fighting hard at the city.
The leader of the Yellow Turban hurriedly reported the emergency, and the Yellow Turban tent was opened. Zhang Jiao's face was calm, and there was no trace of panic.
The tent was full of Yellow Turban generals, and Zhang Jiao was discussing military affairs with them.
"Where is Liao Hua?" Zhang Jiao asked.
"Liao Huazai!" A general clasped his fists and came out.
"You will be in charge of our cavalry. The men will be well fed and the horses will have enough food. The men and horses will rest and wait until the time comes."
"Liao Hua honors your order!" Liao Hua clasped his fists and went.
"Where is Zhou Cang?" Zhang Jiao asked again.
A big man with a black face and red lips, who looked like an iron tower, stood up and said, "Zhou Cang is here!"
"Zhou Cang, I order you to withdraw all your warriors from the city, reorganize your troops, rest your strength, and wait for the time to come."
Hearing this, the big man from Iron Tower hesitated and said, "The city is in danger, so we have to withdraw our elite soldiers at this time..."
"It's okay at the top of the city," Zhang Jiao interrupted Zhou Cang's words and said calmly, "I have my own plans."
Zhang Jiao said this, and the big man in the iron tower clasped his fists and said, "Zhou Cang takes the order!"
Then, he hurried out of the tent.
Zhang Jiao issued another order.
"Where is Gao Sheng?"
"The end is here!"
"Gao Sheng, go collect all the big bamboo rafters in the city and sharpen them for use."
Gao Sheng takes the order.
"Han Zhong, Zhao Hong, you two arrange the provisions for the carriages and horses."
"Sun Zhong, Zhao Xing, let you two open the north gate and stand guard to listen to orders."
"Liu Fang, let you two open the south gate."
"The remaining generals gather their forces and prepare for preparation."
The order was given and the generals dispersed.
Afterwards, Zhang Jiao ordered people to make rice immediately so that the whole army would be well fed and ready for war.
The officers and soldiers gradually occupied the city head, and the Yellow Turbans at the top of the city were gradually pushed back from the city wall. Seeing that the city was about to be lost, however, the heavy Yellow Turban troops in the city gathered at the four gates. The men and horses stopped and remained motionless, not going to support the city head.
Finally, the time Zhang Jiao had been waiting for came, evening came.
The army's attack on the city was advancing rapidly, and at least a thousand officers and soldiers were waiting to reach the top of the city.
"Kill!"
"Kill the officers and soldiers!"
"Come on!"
…
Suddenly, a loud roar of death erupted in the city.
The city gates that had been closed for days suddenly opened, and yellow scarves poured out of the city.
At the west gate, the Yellow Turban Cavalry, led by a brave general, filed out.
Most of the official troops outside the city were engaged in the siege. Three-quarters of the official troops were either at the top of the city or crowded below the city. Their formations were scattered and their manpower was divided into four.
The Yellow Turban Cavalry first took advantage of the situation to kill the official troops outside the west gate, and then divided into three groups, one rushed directly towards the official camp, the other went out of the west gate and circled north along the city wall, rushing north along the city wall to attack the enemies below the city;
The troops went out and circled south, forming a formation along the city wall south to charge and kill.
From the north gate, the yellow turban soldiers took the lead, and the troops followed. After leaving the city gate, they attacked the unprepared siege team from the left and right.
From the south gate, soldiers from the Yellow Turban Brigade came out.
From the east gate, yellow turban soldiers and a large group of troops came out.
Just as Li Mengxi had deduced, when the siege force is deployed on the siege side, the forces on the siege side are actually divided into four directions, which are far apart.
Moreover, the siege team on the siege side must carry the siege ladder and pull out the crossbow team to shoot at the city head. People are coming and going, and the formations are messy. Therefore, any siege is a scattered formation and cannot be formed in a chaotic formation.
Also in the time of war.
Now, the army's strength was divided into four parts. They were embarrassed on the city and scattered below the city. The Yellow Turbans rested for a long time, replenished their strength, and then attacked the army unprepared. The army was killed and caught off guard.
The Yellow Turbans had three cavalrymen, and the cavalry was very fast. The official siege team below the city was either a shield formation a little further away, or they were crowded together under the siege ladder, or they were a team of archers and crossbowmen without any protection.
The cavalry came in groups, the ground shook, and the sound of hooves was like thunder. When the officers and soldiers met the cavalry front, they melted quickly like snow meeting the sun.
When the Yellow Turban cavalry rushed towards an officer's crossbow position, the officer's crossbowmen had not yet dispersed and launched a crossbow attack. A wave of messy arrows caused the Yellow Turban cavalry to fall off their horses.
But in an instant, the Yellow Turban Cavalry rushed closer.
The momentum of the charge of the war horses was like the pressure of a mountain. The officer's crossbowmen's faces were filled with shock, and their hands were shaking so much that they dropped the crossbows and could not put them on the crossbow machine.
Finally, the morale of the army's crossbowmen collapsed.
"Run away!"
Unable to bear the fear, the crossbowman dropped his crossbow and ran away.
How can a man with two legs escape than a war horse with four hooves?
A fleeing army crossbowman heard the rumble of hoofbeats behind him and couldn't help but look back.
A black shadow came with the howling wind.
Bang!
The officer's crossbowman only felt a pain in his back, and his whole body flew up.
"Ah~"
A shrill scream.
Knocked to the ground, the yellow scarf crossbowman was trampled by a series of horse hooves. Shenren's screams disappeared within a short time before being lost in the sound of horse hooves.
A group of about fifty crossbowmen was rushed by the Yellow Turban Cavalry and was submerged in the torrent of cavalry.
After the cavalry rushed through, where the crossbowmen were arrayed, except for two or three people on the side who managed to escape the pursuit, there was no one left standing who could escape.
People fell all over the ground, and lying on the ground were messy corpses trampled by war horses. The few who were lucky enough to survive either had their legs broken, their necks were broken, or their hands were trampled by war horses, so they could only lie down.
Howling on the ground.
After a while of cavalry, human life fell like wheat being harvested.
The cavalry was so fast that it could complete half a circle around the city in an instant.
Half of the officers and soldiers under the city have been dispersed, and the remaining half are not far away.
The remaining troops below the city were gone. Those officers and soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city were instantly unable to advance or retreat. There was no way out. The officers and soldiers at the top of the city were in chaos. The momentum of advancing step by step suddenly turned into a rout.
Many officers and soldiers were so anxious that they climbed over the battlements and jumped down the city without choosing the right path. I don't know how many people broke their legs.
The Yellow Turban Warriors came to the city. The tall Yellow Turban Warriors held big swords and heavy axes, slashing and chopping people with their heads rolling. The officers and soldiers were horrified and retreated hastily. They retreated from the stairs to the top of the stairs, and then from the stairs.
At the top of the stairs, I retreated to the city wall, but couldn't help but be pushed back on the city wall.
Zhou Cang slashed a soldier in front of him to death with a knife. The knife got stuck in the soldier's shoulder blade and could not be pulled out for a while. Zhou Cang raised his foot and kicked the man towards the soldier.
The half-dead officers and soldiers were kicked backwards by Zhou Cang, and crashed into the crowd of officers and soldiers with a bang.
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
Zhou Cang shook the blood from his knife, roared angrily, and shouted for the officers and soldiers at the head of the city to surrender.
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
…
In an instant, the offensive and defensive positions changed. The officers and soldiers above the city were tightly surrounded. The officers and soldiers were blocked on the city from both ends, with no way out.
The whole city was filled with cheers for those who surrendered to avoid death.
Looking into the city, I saw a large number of people with yellow scarves. Looking outside the city, I saw that the officers and soldiers outside the city had been killed and scattered, and they were completely defeated.
Seeing that the situation was over, the officers and soldiers had to abandon their weapons and surrender.
Let's talk about the Yellow Turbans that rushed directly towards Dong Zhuo. The Yellow Turban general Liao Hua led a hundred cavalry and charged directly towards Dong Zhuo's main formation.
While charging to kill, he shouted, "Behead Dong Zhuo!"
One person shouted, hundreds of people shouted, the sound was huge.
"Kill Dong Zhuo!"
"Don't leave Dong Zhuo!"
"Kill Dong Zhuo!"
…
Dong Zhuo still has troops in his own formation, and there are Xiliang elite cavalry beside him. If Dong Zhuo wants to stop the army from retreating, it is not impossible.
However, they were rushed forward by the Yellow Turban Cavalry. The Yellow Turban Cavalry was very powerful and looked like they would not give up until Dong Zhuo was killed. In addition, most of the army was defeated and Dong Zhuo had no shortage of soldiers to protect himself. However, Dong Zhuo was afraid.
"Go! Go quickly!"
