It seems that I don't know when it started, and the Yellow Turban Army is not the Yellow Turban Army anymore.

It is completely different from the existence of history, where countless refugees roam around. Today's Yellow Turban Army is the Central Army of the Han Dynasty, and it is the trump card army of the real Han Dynasty. Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and even other princes are called local armies, so the gap comes out.

The Yellow Turban Army also began to be regularized, and those who did not meet the requirements naturally had to be eliminated. Those who are old or fail to pass the second assessment will be arranged to serve in second-line troops such as siege troops and baggage troops. Those who can go to the battlefield are really young and strong. Equipped with plate armor made of hydraulically stamped steel plates, every soldier is a real soldier.

If there is anything that such an army is most afraid of, it may be the tactics of crowds.

The iron armor still somewhat limited their movement speed, and after careful selection, the number of soldiers left was bound to not be too large. For example, this time, even if you count the last week, the scale is less than 20,000.

Unfortunately, for the White Wave Army, they are the best at playing crowd tactics or something!

Originally, it was a rebel army, and it was a common tactic to be a rogue to coerce the people or something. Now that one side is divided, some are populations, and if they really want to move, it is also a very terrible force.

Why kill the old people, just because they can't go fast! The most important thing is that they are old, they don't have the strength to fight, and it is a waste of food to raise them, so it is better to kill them directly.

In Jiangyi, there are 200,000 troops of the White Bo Army, but there are more than 500,000 young men and women. They were all driven from the area north of Pingyang County, Hedong County. The White Polish army has already told them that as long as this war ends. Then they will be able to go back. Even if you want to live in another county. That's no problem either.

However, in order to win this battle, they naturally need to contribute a part of their combat power.

Before the people could realize, 70,000 people had been driven out and replaced with all kinds of simple weapons, from clubs to hoes, and they were given whatever could be wielded to cause damage. Immediately, the Baibo army sent 30,000 soldiers as supervisors. This ensured that the 70,000 men were under control and set off in two directions towards the rear of the enemy army.

Yes, this is Han Sui's backhand! After he received the war letter, he forwarded the war letter to Han Xian and Hu Cai in the rear, and at the same time wrote a letter to tell them his battle plan.

It's not worth mentioning, so let them send 100,000 soldiers and kill the siege camp in the rear of the enemy army in two ways. If it succeeds, then it is naturally best to directly reverse the front of the army and continue to rush towards the main battlefield, and launch an attack with Han Sui. Even if Han Sui's side failed. As long as they come in time, they will be able to make Zhao Libu suffer a defeat!

If you can't do it. Just leave directly, anyway, there are not many main forces, at least it is not difficult to leave calmly.

This plan is actually very feasible, but Han Sui didn't expect that his side would lose so quickly and so quickly. So much so that Zhao Li's troops were able to quickly conduct reconnaissance after the war, and finally discovered the troops of Hu Cai and Han Xian.

"Reinforcements!" Zhao Li shouted, and the large army quickly gathered and ran towards the rear.

"Fight!" Zhou Cang was not idle, even though the soldiers were a little tired, he still gave the order to go to battle.

Missed wars, make up for them with wars. Their troops came all the way here, not to clean up the battlefield for Zhao Li and them. The 100,000 troops did sound a little scary, but they weren't afraid.

Soldiers, in the face of the enemy in war, can never appear the word fear. They can retreat, but they can't be afraid.

There is no shame in retreating, and retreating, to the extent permissible, to secure the main force of the army, to ensure a counterattack at some point in the future, is something that has been discussed at military conferences.

It's okay to stick to it, but the current situation here simply doesn't need that. Die to the last person in battle, just because a certain stronghold is absolutely not allowed to be lost! Just like Yang Feng, who guarded Huguan in the past, if Huguan is lost, no matter how many soldiers he retains, he will have to be sent to a military court for trial and judgment. If you're lucky, you'll get a demerit, and then demote and keep it.

If you're unlucky, I'm sorry, for the sake of the army's morale and for the sake of killing chickens and monkeys, I'm afraid that I have to stab myself on the execution ground.

At this moment, in the rear, the people of the siege camp have begun to immediately form siege equipment after receiving the early warning. There may be no way to use these weapons to retreat from the enemy, but it's better than leaving them here to be destroyed, right?

In this battle, more than 30 Xiangyang guns and more than 100 crossbow vehicles were dispatched from the siege camp. Yes, this is a weapon of war from Yuan Shu's side that has been improved and made into mistakes. However, since it is called a repeater, it can naturally shoot multiple crossbow arrows in a row, strictly speaking, this repeater is a bit similar to the eight-bull crossbow of later generations.

The eight-ox crossbow is also known as the three-bow bed crossbow, which can shoot crossbow arrows directly into the city wall within 30 meters, and then the soldiers can climb these crossbow arrows that have not entered the city wall more than halfway, and climb to the city wall to kill the enemy. If it is an open-air battle, thirty meters against a soldier in leather armor can penetrate about five or six people in one breath, and seven or eight are not a problem if you are lucky.

On top of that, after the improvement, this repeater can shoot three arrows in one go. The effective range is up to 100 meters, and even at a distance of 100 meters, it is possible to shoot continuously through two to three people.

At present, these crossbow carts are apparently the main means of defense used by the siege camps.

Ten minutes passed quickly, the catapult was still doing the final assembly, and the ballista was already ready to shoot, just waiting for the enemy to arrive! The shells of the Xiangyang Cannon were also replaced with gravel shells, and the originally ground stone bullets were replaced with a large number of fist-sized stones, and then thrown out, these stones were scattered in the air, and after falling, they naturally caused an area of effect kill!

Smoke and dust began to appear on the horizon, and even the rumble of a large army could be heard. The Xiangyang cannon has already begun to carry out the final verification and reloading, and even the operator of the ballista is getting ready, just give the order. They shoot at once!

It's just when they see the enemy soldiers at the front line. I couldn't help but pause.

Is the enemy called a soldier? It's more like a bunch of people taking up arms. Or rather, the people at all! The enemy forces were mixed with men and women, and there was little formation. Their only order was to keep running forward and just rush into enemy positions. After that, even if they complete the mission, they can choose to leave, or try to build up their military merits.

Hu Cai and Han Xian didn't think that they could have much combat effectiveness, they only hoped that these cannon fodder could block the enemy's attack for their main soldiers, and even charge the formation of the three enemy armies, so it would be easy to start.

As for the promises made to those people. It depends on the situation, and if the result is lost, then they can only let them leave. If they are victorious, how can they just go?

"Report, discover where the enemy positions are! It seems that the defense is very thin! "A cronie came to report.

"Let them charge harder, dare to take a step slower, and cut directly!" Hu Cai and Han Xian gave the order almost at the same time.

Driven by the White Polish Army in the rear, these civilians had to desperately charge forward. Especially when the slowest one was mercilessly slashed, they charged with all their might.

"General, what are we going to do?" Seeing the appearance of the enemy army, the adjutant couldn't help but want Xu Le to ask.

"What else? Do we allow our brothers to be killed by the enemy? Or give up on these devices? Xu Le shook his head and decisively gave the order to attack.

Seriously. He also hated these White Polish troops at the moment. Why should the people be involved in the war?

In fact, this idea is a bit strange, after all, he Xu Le is actually also an officer of the siege force of the Yellow Turban Army, but he has this idea for the White Bo Army. But it also proves that the Yellow Turban Army has been transformed into a regular army, and it is completely different from that kind of rebel army.

However, even the original Yellow Turban Army has never coerced the people. If the people can't survive, or they plan to gamble on a future and voluntarily join the Yellow Turban Army, then they will be recruited. If you don't want to join, you never force them!

As for driving the people to attack the city, it is naturally impossible. Fang Yun joined the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, and as a pawn of the second-line army, insufficient training was not an excuse. If you join the army, you should have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield as a soldier.

"Shoot!" Xu Le gritted his teeth and gave an order.

The ballista fired quickly, and a large number of crossbow bolts were shot out, and these huge crossbow arrows quickly pierced through the people, even wearing only a sackcloth, and even penetrated their bodies, and then killed another citizen behind them.

It was a massacre at all, a real massacre, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with war anymore.

In such a situation, it is actually a kind of torture for the operator of the ballista. The death of a large number of civilians made them unbearable to continue shooting. It's just the harsh rules of military law, as well as the consciousness of being a soldier, that they have to obey the order, quickly replace the crossbow arrows, and then carry out the second wave of shooting.

Fortunately, the other side did not give them time to shoot a second time. With their shots, the people in the rear ran faster, completely recklessly. Perhaps, in their opinion, they can only survive if they arrive here first.

In fact, they did, and before they knew it, they were already in the middle of the position.

"Retreat!" Xu Le had no choice but to give the order to retreat. In the face of this huge group of people, their 3,000 people are simply not enough to see. Every soldier in the siege camp is very precious, and it can't be folded here.

The army began to retreat, and as for the ballista and Xiangyang artillery, they were naturally destroyed. At the last moment, three hundred soldiers remained here. Their main responsibility was to completely destroy these siege weapons and not fall into the hands of the White Polish army.

Then they were quickly overwhelmed by enemy troops.

The people, who were already angry, beckoned at them with sticks and even various weapons. In such a situation, even if they were wearing armor, it was useless, but they still succeeded in killing these three hundred heroes alive.

As for the main forces, the flanks had to quickly retreat. In order to improve the efficiency of the retreat, even the iron armor was thrown away!

At this time, Zhao Li and Zhou Cang's troops had already arrived here, but in the face of this huge number of enemy troops, they could not remain calm at this moment.

At least most of these enemy troops were ordinary people, and they could see it somewhat.

The people are innocent, and their enemy is the White Polish army among them, but the key now is that they don't know what happened to the siege troops. Will the army be wiped out, or will it retreat before then...... (To be continued......)

ps: 100,000 against 3,000, I can't think of any way to win before the hot weapons war, especially since 3,000 people are still a second-line siege force. It is not a front-line main combat force.
