Chapter 72 Dong Zhuo is here
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! If you are born in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous!"
Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans chanted slogans in Guangzong City, and the momentum was earth-shattering. Originally, the Han army had gained an advantage and gradually expanded its results. As a result, the Yellow Turbans fell into a frenzy and their morale soared!
"Lord, it's raining."
After being reminded by Hua Mulan, Chu Tian discovered that at some point, dark clouds gathered in the sky and it started to rain lightly.
The winter of the first year of the Lord's Calendar was cold, the rain was freezing, and the entire Han army camp was in panic.
In such bad weather, arrows are basically unusable, and the city walls are slippery, which is really detrimental to the siege party.
Lu Zhi glanced at the hazy sky. The right time, right place, and right people were indispensable. At this time, the Han army lost the right time, and its momentum disappeared. It was no longer possible to break the city today: "This is Zhang Jiao's magic. Retreat temporarily. The heavy infantry will respond."
Siege troops to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from leaving the city to counterattack."
"Zhang Jiao's sorcery is so terrifying and can change the color of the situation. If we, the Han people, have such talents, wouldn't we be able to revive the country again?"
Liu Bei looked at Guangzong City. It would be great if he had a military advisor who knew how to "witchcraft".
"This may be Zhang Jiao's unique skill or characteristic."
When Chu Tian saw the strange weather, he knew it might be caused by Zhang Jiao.
"The Han army retreated."
Hua Mulan reminded Chu Tian again.
Beizhonglang general Lu Zhimingjin withdrew his troops, and the large siege equipment slowly retreated. The Han army reserve team stepped forward to respond, not giving the Yellow Turban army a chance to leave the city to pursue them.
"It may not be that simple to defeat Zhang Jiao."
Lu Zhi ordered the Han army to retreat. The Han army camp generally realized that the time to break the city was not yet ripe.
Chu Tian was not in a hurry. Even Lu Zhi, who had tens of thousands of Han troops and hundreds of thousands of rebels, did not dare to attack Zhang Jiao easily. There was no need for him to be reckless. Training in the Han army's barracks was different from training in Xia Town.
What's different, at the same time, you can also use the system to instruct fellow player Xia Liang to help build Xia Town.
Chu Tian learned that the Zhongyi Temple in Xia Town was finally completed. In the future, the morale of Xia Town's army would be more difficult to decline, and the cost of comforting the families of fallen soldiers would also be reduced.
When Xia Zhen participated in the war, it was protected by the Han court, so Chutian did not have to worry about Xia Zhen being attacked.
It rained heavily for a day, but on the seventh day, the Han army did not attack again.
On the eighth day, the Han army still did not attack.
ninth day……
Some lords couldn't hold themselves back. They stayed in the military camp and stood still, but there was no military merit.
"What is Lu Zhi thinking about? If he doesn't attack the city yet, does he want to kill Zhang Jue?"
"Maybe this is really the case..."
…
"drive!"
A group of cavalry galloped across the land of Hebei, leaving shallow hoof prints on the ground. The leader of the Han army was a heavy-backed general with white temples who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
The cavalry behind him are all capable soldiers with rich combat experience.
The word "Dong" is written in small seal script on the general's flag that rustles in the north wind.
The Han general looked towards the towering Guangzong County, where the main force of the Yellow Turban Army gathered.
"It's the twelfth day, and there's still no movement from Lu Zhi."
Chu Tian waited patiently for seven days, but Lu Zhi only surrounded but did not attack. The strategy he used was similar to the idea proposed by Zhou Yafu.
However, it may not be a good thing for Chutian. The rankings in the Eastern Han Dynasty are gradually occupied by the lords of Yingchuan County and Nanyang County battlefield.
The Yingchuan Yellow Turbans were defeated by Huangfu Song, the last god of war in the Eastern Han Dynasty. A group of lords and free players who followed Huangfu Song in pursuit of the Yellow Turbans gained a lot of military merit.
The Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang County was trapped in Wancheng and was attacked by Sun Jian and the players who supported Sun Jian. The Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng was in danger.
Only the progress in Guangzong County was slow, and many lords and players had strong opinions on Lu Zhi because of this.
Chu Tian also had objections to Lu Zhi, but he believed that Lu Zhi's approach was correct. Only when Zhang Jue died of illness in Guangzong County and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army dropped significantly could it be easy to capture Guangzong County, which was guarded by Zhang Jue personally.
county.
Zhang Jiao is the spiritual leader of the Yellow Turban Army. With him around, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army will not drop easily.
"Han reinforcements have arrived!"
"how many people?"
"Five thousand cavalry!"
A lord noticed a group of cavalry arriving at Lu Zhi's military camp.
Five thousand cavalry are enough to drive the early lords crazy!
No lord can recruit five thousand cavalry in the first six months. Just five thousand war horses, worth ten thousand gold, not counting the monthly horse raising expenses and the cavalry salary!
Five thousand cavalry broke into the main camp of the Han army. These five thousand cavalry were high-spirited and well-equipped. They seemed to be higher in rank and grade than the light cavalry in Xia Town.
The leading Han general dismounted from his horse, had thick arms, wore two quivers, and strode with dozens of soldiers to find Lu Zhi.
"Dong Ziqi?"
When Chu Tian saw the flag of the incoming cavalry, he only thought of the possibility that Dong Zhuo was coming!
So most of these cavalry are Xiliang cavalry!
Xiliang cavalry can also be subdivided into different arms.
The Xiliang light cavalry is a third-level cavalry, while the Xiliang iron cavalry is a heavy cavalry with a higher level.
The five thousand cavalry that arrived were only third-level Xiliang light cavalry. Even so, the third-level cavalry was already the envy of countless lords. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of Xiliang light cavalry may be stronger than that of light cavalry from other states.
Zhang Tie, the military commander in charge of these players in Chutian, summoned them and announced the changes in the Han army's camp on the Guangzong County battlefield: "The imperial court believed that Beizhonglang General Lu Zhi would only besiege but not attack, and the crusade against the Yellow Turbans would be unfavorable, so he ordered Dongzhonglang General
Lord Dong Zhuo is responsible for the Jizhou battlefield and completely defeats the Yellow Turban Army."
Many players, including Chu Tian, changed their colors slightly after confirming that the person coming was really Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was a fierce general in the late Han Dynasty who fought against the Xiongnu and Qiang people. However, whether in history or in romance, Dong Zhuo's fight against the Yellow Turbans seems to have failed to achieve any results, and he was even convicted by the court.
Xiliang light cavalry are very fierce in plain areas and border fortresses, but they are useless against the eight-meter-high city wall of Guangzong County.
"According to Dong Zhuo's character and the urging of the court, he should choose to attack by force. This time it may be bad."
Chu Tian groaned secretly.
Although Lu Zhi's tactics may seem timid, they are solid enough and he will definitely win if he persists until later, especially if the other two battlefields are victorious.
Now the change of generals on the spot gave the Yellow Turban Army an opportunity.
"I didn't expect that the imperial court would replace me. Xuande, you have to work hard next."
Lu Zhi was punished by the imperial court and handed over military power to Dong Zhuo. He was in low spirits and bid farewell to the Han military captains and Liu Bei.
A cavalry force that Liu Bei finally led was taken back by Dong Zhuo, and without Lu Zhi as a big backer, he had little chance of gaining military honors.
There were only three people, Liu Guan and Zhang. No matter how many military achievements they obtained through their personal strength, they could not catch up with the lords who had soldiers and horses.
Lu Zhi went to Luoyang under the escort of a small group of Han soldiers. Now he is guilty.
A group of soldiers and horses were waiting for Lu Zhi outside the Han army camp, coming to bid Lu Zhi farewell.
Lu Zhi looked at this unknown young man: "You should be a rebel leader, right?"
