Chapter Seventy-Four: Turning the Tide!
The Han army was in chaos and fought separately, and Chutian found the military Sima Zhang Tie in the chaotic army.
He has generals, but not many soldiers!
If you want to turn the tables, you must use the power of the Han army!
The first person Chu Tian looked for was Zhang Tie, who was closest to him.
Zhang Tie knew Chutian, and he had 5,000 Han troops under his command. Even after several days of siege and heavy losses, more than 2,000 Han troops gathered under Zhang Tie.
"Lord Zhang Tie, I want to borrow troops from you!"
Chu Tian and Zhou Yafu found Zhang Tie and borrowed troops as soon as possible.
"Borrowed soldiers? Do you think you have what it takes to turn the tide? ”
Zhang Tie looked at this self-volunteering lord, and didn't understand why Chu Tian dared to take his soldiers and horses.
"This is the handwriting of Lord Lu Zhi, the general of Kitakaro, maybe I can't turn the tide, but my subordinates can."
Chu Tian handed over a letter with Lu Zhi's handwriting to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie recognized Lu Zhi's handwriting, but it was not an order, just Lu Zhi's essay.
He looked at Zhou Yafu, the general recommended by Chu Tian, and the other party seemed to be quite reliable.
"Lord Zhang Tie, now that the situation is rotten, why don't you use a dead horse as a live horse doctor?"
Chu Tian put pressure on Zhang Tie between words.
Finally, Zhang Tie, whose face was cloudy, thought that he could not face the current situation, so he handed over the command to Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu became the chief general of more than 2,000 Han troops, and the decline in the morale of the Han army slowed down significantly!
Not only that, but the negative effect of the Yellow Turban Army's flanking attack on Zhou Yafu's department was reduced.
The trait "Fortification" is triggered, and the Han army sacrifices 10% of its attack power and increases its defense by 30%!
Mulan has a 10% allied defense aura, and according to the principle of addition, the defense of the Han army is increased by 40%!
In addition to this, Mulan also has an aura that slows down the morale of allies.
Zhou Yafu cooperated with Mulan's bonus, making Zhou Yafu's Han army an impregnable wall!
"On the orders of Lord Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, all the soldiers and lords of the Han army and the Han camp are assembled with us!"
Chu Tian played the banner of Lu Zhi, with Zhang Tie's more than 2,000 Han troops as the core, and quickly annexed the surrounding soldiers and horses!
Although he himself can't bring a lot of bonuses to the army like Zhou Yafu and Mulan, he is good at encouraging people.
Now that the Han army is in chaos, all the Han troops still recognize Lu Zhi more, as long as Lu Zhi's banner is played, the Han army in the melee will soon join his troops, and then hand it over to Commander Zhou Yafu to get the bonuses of Zhou Yafu and Mulan.
Soon, with more than 2,000 Han troops as the core, it attracted tens of thousands of Han troops and lord armies to join.
The defensive power bonus provided by Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan allowed these tens of thousands of people to block the counterattack of the Yellow Turban Army, and more and more Han soldiers nearby joined Chutian's troops!
"Mayor Mare, run! There are too many Yellow Turban Army, and the brothers can't stop it at all! ”
"I can't abandon you!"
Xue Yue, the leader of the Wolf Guild, held a giant sword in both hands and slashed down a Yellow Turban soldier.
She had a scar on her face and was wounded by the Yellow Turbans.
Even if he is treated in the future, the knife marks will disappear completely, but the pain from the knife marks on his face at this time makes Xue Yue grit her teeth.
There were too many Yellow Turbans, and the Yellow Turbans realized that this might be a good opportunity to defeat the Eastern Han Army, so they poured out.
Xue Yue led the only remaining 300 people in her town, surrounded by thousands of Yellow Turban troops.
The early lord's class is not much stronger than the first-order Yellow Turban soldiers, and the level is not necessarily higher than the Yellow Turban soldiers.
The soldiers around Xueyue kept dying in battle, and she didn't care if she could get military merit.
Surviving on the battlefield is the number one priority!
A team of cavalry killed, and the generals led by them killed more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers in a row, and the Han cavalry behind them followed the generals to kill a bloody road and rescue the soldiers of Xueyue Town.
"It's you?!"
Xue Yue recognized this general as the general of Chu Tian, the mayor of Xia Town.
Mulan also remembers this person: "Join our army." ”
"Good!"
Xue Yue led the three hundred people of Snow Moon Town into the army called by Chu Tian.
Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan have little room to play under the premise that Xia Zhen does not have many soldiers and horses.
But this time, Chu Tian took advantage of the chaos to temporarily gather a large number of Han troops, and completely played the role of Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan.
The annexed infantry and crossbowmen were under the command of Zhou Yafu, and the Han cavalry was under the command of Hua Mulan, and the two commanders could maximize the combat effectiveness of the Han army.
The most important thing is the effect of Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan on stabilizing morale.
The melee between the two sides lasted for half a day, and the number of Han troops and rebel troops gathered by Chutian took advantage of the chaos to reach 20,000, 30,000, and 50,000, absorbing almost one-third of the nearby Han army's soldiers and horses!
The number of Han cavalry recruited by Mulan temporarily was as high as three thousand!
The Han army led by Zhou Yafu was indestructible, and the Yellow Turban Army struggled to attack, but was unable to capture Zhou Yafu's defense.
Zhou Yafu commanded Hua Mulan to lead the cavalry in a detour, while rescuing other rebels surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, strengthening the troops, and cutting off the retreat of the Yellow Turban Army.
Zhou Yafu's best tactic appeared, holding on while cutting off the enemy's rear road.
The Xiliang cavalry led by Dong Zhuo was difficult to exert its might because of the chaotic battlefield. The soldiers on both sides were in a stalemate, and it was difficult for the cavalry to charge.
This is Dong Zhuo's rare embarrassment.
Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang are not so easy to deal with.
The Yellow Turban cavalry led by Zhang Bao raided Dong Zhuo's headquarters and fought with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry, mixed with countless Yellow Turban soldiers interfering with the actions of the Xiliang cavalry.
One-third of the Han camp's forces were fighting on their own, one-third of the troops were called up by Dong Zhuo, and one-third of the troops were called up by Chutian.
Although Zhang Jiao calculated Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was one of the heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty after all, and his own bonus was considerable, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to completely eliminate the Han army led by him.
Mulan's cavalry detour has already achieved results, and the Yellow Turban Army, which is looking at the counterattack, exposes its back to the Han cavalry interspersed in the back.
Hua Mulan's cavalry and Zhou Yafu's infantry flanked, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops collapsed in an instant.
Chu Tian stood with Zhou Yafu and saw Zhou Yafu's beautiful defensive counterattack, which is probably the art of war.
Seeing that the situation was reversing, Zhang Tie, the military commander, could only be ashamed of himself.
Zhou Yafu has not been idle these days, but is observing the combat methods and combat capabilities of the Eastern Han Army.
Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops were defeated, and more Yellow Turban troops were defeated and retreated.
The Yellow Turban Army didn't expect that in this situation, someone would be able to turn the tables and rout one after another.
Dong Zhuo is still competing with Zhang Bao, and Zhou Yafu has expelled the Yellow Turban Army and wants to capture Guangzong City in one fell swoop!
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei killed many Yellow Turban troops in the chaotic army, but he did not assemble the Han army in time, and was robbed by Chutian again.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Bao hurriedly withdrew and led the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army to retreat to Quyang.
"How the hell is this battle fought?"
Dong Zhuo was inexplicable, and he was still confused after Zhang Bao retreated.
