A chase and fight ended only after dark.

In this battle, most of the army was defeated. The Yellow Turbans killed hundreds of people and captured nearly a thousand at the city gate. The Yellow Turban general Liao Hua led hundreds of cavalry to pursue Dong Zhuo relentlessly.

After being stopped, the two of them fought for more than 20 seconds, with no outcome in sight.

The Yellow Turban Cavalry was not as elite as the Xiliang Cavalry. The Yellow Turban Cavalry was in decline and Liao Hua was defeated.

The Yellow Turbans won a great victory and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

In Nanluan City, Zhang Jiao ordered the Yellow Turbans to reorganize their manpower at night, pick up weapons left on the ground outside the city, and plunder a lot of materials from the army camps that the officers and soldiers would not be able to take away in the future. The Yellow Turbans' logistics was greatly enriched.

At night, after guarding the city for twenty days, the Yellow Turbans finally found peace for the day. The exhausted Yellow Turban soldiers fell asleep on the ground before nightfall.

At this time, the crisis was resolved, and Zhang Jiao finally had time to think about what happened during the day.

Thinking of the young man who entered the camp alone during the day, Zhang Jiao still found it incredible when he thought about it now. The young man's words and demeanor at that time were extraordinary in every way.

Involuntarily, Zhang Jiao frowned slightly, dipped his fingers into the water from the medicine bowl, and began to draw on the low table.

After a while, Zhang Jiao drew a picture with his hand.

Looking at it, it seems to be five points similar to Li Mengxi.

Zhang Jiao frowned and looked at it carefully.

Upon seeing it, Zhang Jiao was surprised.

In the photo, he has pale eyebrows and thin lips, and a narrow life palace, which suggests that he will die young.

But thinking about it again, I saw that young man's eyes were pregnant with tigers and dragons during the day, and he was full of energy. How could he be a person who died young?

Surprised, Zhang Jiao shook his head and reached out to wipe off the photo on the low table.

Nothing happened all night.

At night, the defeated officers and soldiers fled along the road, and gradually they became more numerous. The defeated officers and soldiers actually reunited seven to eight people.

When the city was in emergency, Zhang Jiao waited until dusk to attack suddenly, hoping that it would be dark soon. Zhang Jiao calculated that even if the counterattack failed, it would be dark soon, and most of the Yellow Turbans had already left the city.

You can survive a lot by running away in the dark.

Zhang Jiao's calculation was safe, and because of his safety, Zhang Jiao calculated that when it was dark, Zhang Jiao could use the darkness of night, and the officers and soldiers could still use the darkness to escape calmly.

Dong Zhuo, who was running away, saw that no more yellow scarves were chasing him. Dong Zhuo, who calmed down, suddenly felt angry in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he would be killed in such an embarrassing manner by the Yellow Turbans.

Thinking again that Liu Xuande only withdrew ten miles, if Liu Xuande knew about this defeat and Liu Xuande took advantage of the situation to come back, wouldn't Liu Bei lose his military glory again?

Thinking of the key point, Dong Zhuo had a rare moment of wisdom. He ordered all the cavalry to disperse and search along the roads at night to gather the broken troops. Dong Zhuo wanted to gather most of the troops before dawn, and then quickly kill Liu Xuande before he came.

Destroy Zhangjiao.

One night, the army's cavalry searched all the roads in Nanluan, and they were able to gather many of the defeated troops very efficiently.

If Li Mengxi knew that the cavalry was so efficient in gathering broken troops, then Li Mengxi would understand that he must always keep a cavalry team on hand no matter what.

What does cavalry mean?

Means the only means of fast communication.

If the army is defeated, the soldiers will scatter and flee everywhere. If there is no way to gather people, the defeat will become uncontrollable.

But when people are gathered together, infantry can't. Infantry moves too slowly. Only cavalry can cover dozens of roads and dozens of intersections in half a day. A hundred cavalry can cover all roads within a radius of 20 miles in half a day.

With hundreds of cavalry, they can gather all the scattered soldiers within a radius of twenty miles in half a day.

Therefore, even if you are defeated, if you have a hundred and fifty cavalry, you can gather the defeated army in half a day and come back again.

And without cavalry, it would be extremely difficult to gather most of the troops.

The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Dong Zhuo was impatient. He hurriedly ordered the troops to be counted. It was found that there were more than 12,000 troops.

With more than 10,000 troops present, Dong Zhuo was still confident. After reorganizing his troops, he made a comeback and headed towards Nanluan City.

At the same time, after recuperating all night, at dawn, Zhang Jiao also ordered the Yellow Turban soldiers to leave the city and pursue Dong Zhuo.

Last night, the government cavalry repeatedly approached the city, which was enough to guess that the government troops would come again.

Dong Zhuo wanted to fight Zhang Jue again, and Zhang Jue also wanted to fight Dong Zhuo.

The two were walking towards each other, and at midnight they met.

Twenty miles south of Nanluan City, there is an unknown place, located in the wilderness and open.

Dong Zhuo and Zhang Jiao lined up facing each other.

Dong Zhuo's formation was on the left and right, and more than 300 Xiliang cavalry were divided into ten teams, half on the left and half on the left, forming a solid center with two wings.

Zhang Jiao then placed troops on both wings, and the troops on the left and right corners were composed of hundreds of people holding long weapons such as bamboo, rafters, and spears.

This long weapon team holds long bamboo rafts, several feet long, which cannot be held by one person. The yellow turban soldiers hold two long bamboos and gather into a forest-like array of long weapons and spears.

The Yellow Turban Cavalry lined up to advance in the Yellow Turban formation.

Nowadays, the morale of the officers and soldiers is slightly low, while the morale of the Yellow Turbans is strong.

Zhang Jiao ordered the entire Yellow Turban formation to press forward.

"kill!"

On the Yellow Turban side, there was a cry of killing, and the entire Yellow Turban army moved.

When the yellow scarf moved, Dong Zhuo also ordered a fight, and the officers and soldiers also lined up and moved forward.

The Yellow Turban cavalry were in front, but they did not charge. Instead, they restrained their horses and moved slowly, only slightly faster than the Yellow Turban troops.

At the same time, the official cavalry also moved. As soon as the Xiliang cavalry moved, they moved like lightning and outflanked Zhang Jiao's left and right wings.

The first battle was between Zhang Jiao's left and right long rafter spear formations and the Xiliang cavalry.

Xiliang was skilled in riding bows and horses. Before he could charge into the formation, arrows were fired at the Yellow Turban in the long rafter spear formation.

Although the yellow turbans in the long rafter spear formation are all armored soldiers, from time to time, some long rafter soldiers fall to the ground after being hit by arrows.

The front row fell to the ground, and the yellow scarf soldiers in the back row immediately stepped forward to catch the long rafter, lifted the long rafter, and pointed the sharp long rafter straight at the Xiliang cavalry.

The Xiliang cavalry rushed closer, and the yellow turban long rafters were one after another, long and dense. The Xiliang army did not dare to collide with the formation, so they could only retreat and began to circle around the hedgehog-like formation of long rafters to find flaws.

At the same time, the Xiliang cavalry kept firing arrows at the long rafter spear formation. In the long rafter spear formation, the Yellow Turban crossbowmen also fired back with crossbows.

For a while, the offensive and defensive sides were at a stalemate.

As for the troops, the Yellow Turbans and the army troops started walking at a slow pace from a hundred and fifty paces away. At seventy paces, the crossbowmen began to shoot while walking. At thirty paces, the Yellow Turbans pressed down the fast cavalry in the middle of the formation.

The team began to accelerate suddenly. Following the cavalry, an obviously elite Yellow Turban army rushed out with the cavalry.

Thirty steps, the cavalry charge only takes an instant.

The Yellow Turban Cavalry refused to dodge and rushed towards the middle of the army.

After two collisions, the army's gun and shield formation was knocked unstable by the cavalry. The Yellow Turban cavalry collided with the formation and many people died.

Then, the Yellow Turban elite led by the Yellow Turban Warriors followed closely behind the cavalry's charge into the formation and crashed into it.
