Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 98 Confrontation
After Lu Zhi and the Yellow Turban were at a disadvantage in the field battle, they had no choice but to choose to stick to the fortified cities in Jizhou, relying on the city walls to slowly wipe out the Yellow Turban's vitality.

Lu Zhi's plan was indeed successful, not counting the previous cities, the current Yecheng alone caused the Yellow Turbans to drop more than 20 corpses.

But today's Yecheng is also in danger.Before Li Xiang arrived, the Yellow Turbans were attacking Yecheng. After Li Xiang arrived, Zhang Jiao and Chi You even played in person, and the situation in Yecheng further aggravated.

After more than a month of continuous battles, the supplies for defending the city in Yecheng were almost exhausted. Although the number of troops remained at nearly [-], nearly one-third of the army after the successive battles was more or less Suffered some injuries.

It stands to reason that at this level, the city defenders would often summon the young and strong in the city to assist in the defense.But under the current situation, neither Lu Zhi from Jizhou nor Huangfusong from the Central Plains dared to use this method.

This Yellow Turban Uprising finally let the people of the world see the power of the people at the bottom. This power is so strong that the Dalian Han Dynasty almost collapsed.

And if the young and strong in the city are forced to participate in the defense of the city, once the casualties of these young and strong are too large, coupled with the yellow turbans outside the city as an example, if one is not careful, another new force will be sent to the attacking yellow turban army, and This new force is still within the city it is guarding.

Based on this, no matter how severe the situation faced by the generals of the Han Dynasty, they never thought about summoning the young and strong in the city.

However, fortunately, Zhang Jiao completely stood on the opposite side of the aristocratic family due to various unavoidable reasons, and this also made the world's aristocratic family and the Han Dynasty stand on the same front.

Jizhou is one of the richest states in the Han Dynasty, and the power of the aristocratic family is naturally extremely powerful.In the future, Yuan Shao's becoming the overlord of the princes in the world is also inseparable from the support of the Hebei family.

And Yecheng is the government of Jizhou, and many Jizhou aristocratic families are concentrated in Yecheng.

Although the situation in Yecheng was critical this time, it was the Yecheng family who finally sent waves of warmth to Lu Zhi.Money, food and armaments are still a trivial matter, but the thousands of family soldiers and tens of thousands of servants gathered by various families in Yecheng are a timely help.

Those thousands of generations of family soldiers are the trump cards of the major families, and their elite level is not inferior to that of the official officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and their armor and equipment are even more sophisticated than that of the Han army.

And the combat power of the tens of thousands of servants is not enough, but it is more than enough to assist the Han army to defend the city and help the Han army to carry some defensive equipment and materials.

And now Lu Zhi is also sending people to train these servants of the aristocratic family, so that they can reluctantly participate in the battle of defending the city in a short time.

Although these forces had limited influence on the general situation, and their joining could not reverse the situation in front of them, they were still a force, and this finally gave Lu Zhi a chance to breathe.

Although Lu Zhi with Xue Rengui's help gave Chi You a headache, but Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo's [-] cavalry marched straight to Yecheng in mighty force, and Chi You naturally would not fail to respond.

The land of Hebei is flat and is the best battlefield for cavalry.If 10,000 cavalry charge up, even [-]+ infantry may not be able to deal with it.

Moreover, the infantry faced the cavalry, and the cavalry could fight or retreat. Even if they couldn't fight, they could just leave, and the enemy couldn't catch up anyway.But the infantry side can only defend passively, unable to actively attack.

In plain terrain, if you want to rely solely on infantry to deal with a cavalry, it is difficult to do so even if you have a sophisticated plan.

Fifty thousand cavalry were cruising around Yecheng, and Chi You was extremely cautious, and immediately ordered Li Jinyue and Xi to lead 15 yellow scarf soldiers to confront them.And these 15 yellow turban soldiers are not simple, there are not only more than [-] yellow turban warriors, but also [-] elite cavalry carefully trained by Chi You.

The Yellow Turban's background is insufficient, and it is difficult to form a large-scale cavalry in a short period of time.But from Chi You's point of view, how could he not know the importance of cavalry.

Therefore, long before the uprising, Chi You planned to concentrate the strength of the entire Yellow Turban to train the [-] fine cavalry to deal with emergencies.But the arrival of Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo's allied forces today is just in time, forcing Chi You to directly use this trump card.

Although [-] yellow turban elite cavalry were far from enough to deal with Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo's [-] cavalry, it was enough to cooperate with the remaining infantry to contain Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo and prevent them from affecting the battle situation in Ye City.

The offensive and defensive battle in Yecheng not far away was still fierce, but at this time, although the atmosphere was chilling between Li Xiang, Dong Zhuo and Chi You, neither of them took the initiative to attack.

If the Yellow Turbans didn't fight, they were not sure of taking down the opponent, while Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo were afraid of being entangled by the opponent's cavalry. When the Yellow Turban infantry surrounded them again, even they would suffer a lot of losses.

But now Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo's minds are not pure, they are still fighting for the big man but they all have their own careful thoughts, how can they easily lose their strength for a big man who has been completely corrupted.

……

"My dear brother, I'm afraid you are going to go deep alone this time, but you must be cautious. If it doesn't work, just lead the army back for now." Dong Zhuo said to Li Xiang with a concerned expression.

However, I don't know how much truth there is and how much falsehood there is.After all, although Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo called each other elder brother and younger brother, they both had their own goals when they made friends.Moreover, the two have only known each other for a few days, and there is some friendship between them. I am afraid that both parties are just playing on the occasion.

Now, Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo's allied forces have been confronting the Yellow Turban for several days.During this period, Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo also deliberately attacked the Yellow Turbans, but under Chi You's order, Li Jin and Yuexi stared at Li Xiang and Dong Zhuo's army, so they couldn't find a chance to sneak attack.

However, if you can't find an opportunity, you can't find it. With the Yellow Turban's 15 troops restrained, Li Xiang's goal has also been achieved.Therefore, it was time for Li Xiang to make the next step.

In the vicinity of Yecheng, hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves gathered together. With insufficient troops, the Han army could not find the slightest opportunity to fight. Passive defense became the only option.

And if Li Xiang can go deep into the rear of the Yellow Turbans and continuously attack the important areas of the Yellow Turbans, he will surely be able to force the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Yecheng to divide their troops and return to aid.

The main force of the Yellow Turbans gathered together, and the Han side really had nothing to do, but if the Yellow Turbans were to split up, Li Xiang might not be unable to find a fighter, defeat some of the Yellow Turbans, and open up a turning point for this battle.

"Brother don't worry, little brother won't worry. It's not easy this time, big brother. After little brother leaves, big brother may have to face these yellow scarves alone. Big brother should be careful." Li Xiang also looked at Dong Zhuo pretending to be concerned. asked.
