Chapter 189: The End of the Yellow Turbans(1/2)

The battle in the Weihe Plain lasted from early morning until sunset. The shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth, and the two sides were inseparable.

Zhou Yafu continued to attack the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side. Hua Mulan and Xue Wanche led the cavalry to charge into the formation from time to time. Each time they attacked, they beheaded at least hundreds of people, but they were never able to break through the enemy formation.

Chutian encountered an unprecedented tough battle.

Dorgon on the front has 100,000 elite Yellow Turbans. These 100,000 Yellow Turbans gained experience by defeating Kong Rong and the Han armies from various parts of the Beihai Kingdom. Their average level is 50, and they are not ordinary farmers.

In addition to the head-on confrontation between the 100,000 elite Yellow Turban troops, there were at least 200,000 weak Yellow Turban refugees in the Weihe area who attacked the flanks and rear of the Qingxu coalition from time to time, forcing Chutian to divide his forces to fight.

"My lord, each soldier of General Xu Sheng's army only has three arrows left. If we don't break the formation, we may have to fight hand-to-hand with the 100,000 Yellow Turbans trying to cross the river!"

"Order him to defend the Weihe River."

Chu Tian's tone was indifferent.

On the opposite side, Dorgon selected 10,000 Yellow Turban cavalry and attacked the flanks of Zhou Yafu and Taishi Ci from time to time, seriously delaying the speed of Zhou Yafu and Taishi Ci's infantry to break the formation.

All this must be blamed on Kong Rong and other Han court officials from the Beihai Kingdom who sent experience to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, otherwise the average level of the Yellow Turban Army would not be so high.

The peasant army that has experienced hundreds of battles is very formidable. The more they fight, the stronger they become, and they may even become veterans of hundreds of battles.

Coupled with the famous general Dorgon, this battle was extremely difficult to fight.

Chutian was under huge pressure, and Dorgon was under even greater pressure. He tried his best to maintain the formation, and the morale of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army had reached an extremely low level. Influenced by Chutian's "great virtuous teacher" characteristics, some

The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou defected and surrendered. At first, only a few dozen Yellow Turban Army surrendered, but later the number of Yellow Turban Army surrender turned into hundreds or thousands.

"If we continue to fight, I will definitely fail. All cavalry follow me and prepare to retreat!"

Dorgon persisted for most of the day and found that the other Yellow Turban generals were still unable to break through the flanks of the Qingxu coalition, so they could only abandon the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and take away only the most elite Yellow Turban cavalry.

"Xue Rengui, you lead the cavalry archers and heavy cavalry to fight!"

Chu Tian saw that it was almost time, and if he didn't break the formation, he was afraid that things would change after it got dark.

Xue Rengui was ordered to immediately lead the cavalry into battle!

"Order Hua Mulan to attack!"

"Let Xue Wanche break the formation!"

Almost at the same time, Chu Tian and Zhao Gongzi sent out all the cavalry generals, intending to use all their strength to completely defeat Dorgon!

Nearly 10,000 cavalry troops from the Qing-Xu coalition came out in full force, their horses hooves rolling!

Zhou Yafu and Tai Shici had exhausted the arrows and morale of the opposing Yellow Turban Army. When the cavalry entered the battle, the victory was decided!

The 100,000 Yellow Turban Army was beaten down to only 80,000 left. Xue Rengui led the heavy cavalry to attack, with clanging iron hoofs, and penetrated the Yellow Turban Army!

Hua Mulan then marched straight in with the light cavalry, tearing a gap in the Yellow Turban Army's formation!

The cavalry could not attack the Yellow Turban Army's spear phalanx head-on. Only after Zhou Yafu and Tai Shici consumed each other's arrows and destroyed the opponent's formation could the cavalry advance straight in!

"Retreat, go to Jimo!"

Dorgon saw that there was nothing he could do, and without the Eight Banners cavalry in his hands, he was helpless, so he crossed the river with the Yellow Turban cavalry and fled the battlefield.

On a hillside on the other side of the Wei River, a young general in silver armor led more than a hundred Qingzhou cavalry, looking down at Dorgon's cavalry crossing the river.

He led more than a hundred cavalrymen to rush down the hillside, and rushed forward to attack Dorgon who was crossing the river!

Dorgon's cavalry was halfway across the river and had no time to adjust their formation. Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed towards them regardless of their own safety.

"you again?!"

Dorgon caught a glimpse of a young general in silver armor coming towards him and couldn't help but panic. He knew how powerful Zhao Yun was. Once Zhao Yun got close to him, he was no match for Zhao Yun.

"kill him!"

Dorgon was frightened and ordered the Yellow Turban cavalry to attack Zhao Yun, while he led a group of cavalry to escape.

Zhao Yun picked up a dozen Yellow Turban cavalry to pursue Dorgon. This was one of the few opportunities he had to kill Dorgon!

There were Yellow Turban cavalry everywhere. The Qingzhou cavalry led by Zhao Yun were cannibalized and their number became smaller and smaller. In the end, only thirty cavalry were still following Zhao Yun.

Dorgon took advantage of Zhao Yun's delay and left.

The Battle of Weihe lasted until late at night. Chu Tian and Zhao Gongzi joined forces to capture Duchang County and entered the city to defend it.

Regarding the ownership of Duchang County, Chu Tian made a compromise and let Mr. Zhao own Duchang County. As a price, Mr. Zhao turned a blind eye to Chu Tian's recruitment of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and brought them back to Langya Kingdom.

It is useless for Chutian to get to Duchang County, because this is an enclave located in Beihai Kingdom.

Once he conflicts with Mr. Zhao, Duchang County will be surrounded by Mr. Zhao's forces, and Chutian's reinforcements will not be able to get through.

It's better to give it to Mr. Zhao as a favor in exchange for the opportunity to continue to plunder Qingzhou's population.

In this battle, the two lords jointly killed more than 20,000 Yellow Turban troops, and a large number of Yellow Turban troops were willing to surrender. However, Chu Tian and the others needed to rest and wait until the next day to recruit the Yellow Turban troops.

"Cao Cao fought the Yellow Turban Army for the second time in Zouping County, Jinan Kingdom. He fought day and night for three days, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated! The main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Jinan Kingdom has been basically put down, and Cao Cao's army is about to enter Le'an Kingdom!"

"The surviving lords of Jinan, Le'an, Qi, and Pingyuan County responded to the imperial court's call for rebels and divided their forces to annihilate the small group of Yellow Turbans nearby. At least one million people in Qingzhou's Yellow Turbans were divided up!"

When Chutian achieved a decisive victory, the Yanzhou Army led by Cao Cao pacified the Jinan Kingdom and drove Jinan's Yellow Turban Army to Le'an Kingdom.

The lords of Qingzhou began to fight back and realized the importance of plundering the population. They also began to imitate the Yellow Turban Army and forced them to farm for themselves.

Among them, Cao Cao and Chu Tian were the two most ruthless, and they wished they could take back the entire population of Qingzhou to their own territory.

The princes and lords of these crusade armies had unwritten rules not to take each other's prisoners, otherwise the crusade army would fight among themselves due to uneven distribution of spoils.

With Cao Cao and Chu Tian's troops winning in Jinan and Beihai respectively, the main forces of the two Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were defeated, and various lords participated in carving up the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. The end of the Yellow Turbans had come.

Facts have proved that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army develops too fast and will be feared by all the princes and lords. It is impossible for the princes and lords to sit back and watch the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army sweep across the three states.

When the princes and lords of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou joined forces, the massive Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army would eventually be suppressed because of its unstable foundation.

Unless the Yellow Turban Army successfully becomes a feudal force, it will be difficult to fight against the officers and soldiers.

While stationed in Duchang County, small-scale conflicts occurred within the Qingxu coalition forces.

Cao Bao's Xuzhou soldiers wanted to plunder the city, but were killed by Xue Wanche, a general of Prince Zhao. Xue Wanche had a bad temper and even wanted to kill Cao Bao.

After Duchang County was recaptured, it became the territory of Lord Zhao. It was impossible for Xue Wanche to allow the Xuzhou army to plunder his lord's territory.

The vicious Xue Wanche picked up a knife and chased Cao Bao in the city. Cao Bao, who had always been pampered and pampered, had never seen such a scene before and hurried to Chu Tian's temporary residence to take refuge.

Chu Tian had no choice but to mediate the conflict between the Qingzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army as Langya's Prime Minister.

Cao Bao was the first to make mistakes in this matter.

When looting, you must also pay attention to the basic laws.

If you capture the Yellow Turbans, you can take them away, but you cannot plunder the residents in the territory of your allies, even if many of them were Yellow Turbans before.

Because Chu Tian came forward, Xue Wanche let Cao Bao go, but he was still angry.

The end of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army came, and conflicts began to arise between the Qingzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army.

Chu Tian had long been mentally prepared that he and Mr. Zhao would part ways sooner or later.

It is impossible for him to stay in Beihai Kingdom forever. Beihai Kingdom is the sphere of influence of Mr. Zhao and Kong Rong.

But before Chutian left, he wanted to steal as many people as possible.

The next day, Chutian took advantage of the characteristics of a great virtuous teacher and personally came forward to recruit and surrender the Yellow Turban Army near Duchang County. He gained a population of 100,000, and all of them moved to Langya Kingdom with their families.

Mr. Zhao also robbed the Yellow Turbans as much as possible and settled them in Duchang County.

The more people Chu Tian robs, the smaller the population of Beihai Kingdom will be.

Mr. Zhao found that his speed in robbing people was not as fast as Chu Tian's.

When Chutian robbed 100,000 people, he only robbed 50,000 people.

If it weren't for the tens of thousands of people in Duchang County who belonged to him, Mr. Zhao would probably collapse.

Beihai Kingdom's population was robbed by Chutian, so it would be useless for him to occupy such a large territory.

"We marched towards Jimo, gathering the Yellow Turban Army along the way and surrounding Jimo City."

Chu Tian and Zhao Gongzi divided up about 200,000 Yellow Turbans in Duchang County, and the rest of the Yellow Turbans collapsed, so they went east to attack Jimo, Dorgon's last stronghold.

Along the way, Mr. Zhao was busy recovering the lost territory of Beihai Kingdom, while Chu Tian was busy looting the population.

Thousands of Yellow Turban troops defected to Chu Tian, ​​and Chu Tian took them all in and sent them to Langya Kingdom.

"Lord, if we take in so many refugees, I'm afraid there won't be enough food."

When Chutian's army approached Jimo, Fang Xuanling reminded Chutian of a serious problem.

Langya Kingdom may not have enough food to allow Chutian to plunder more people.

"How many people have we robbed?"

"Six hundred thousand and three thousand people."

Six hundred thousand!

Chu Tian never thought that he would snatch the population of one or two counties, which was equivalent to forcibly moving one or two counties from Beihai Kingdom back to Langya Kingdom.

With the sudden influx of 600,000 people in Langya Kingdom, the food pressure will increase sharply.

"Enough is enough."
