Chapter 81: Putting Down the Yellow Turbans
Zhang Liang Shaozhi will definitely fall into the trap and relax his vigilance! At that time, the general will lead the army to launch a decisive attack on Guangzong at dawn the next day!
At dawn, it is most likely to get sleepy, and once you fall asleep, it is difficult to wake up.
On the premise of preconceived ideas, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely determine that the general will not attack Guangzong in recent days, so as to relax his vigilance and be completely unprepared for our army."
"This plan is very wonderful!" Li Man smiled and said, "According to my son's plan, we will definitely defeat Guangzong. When the city is broken, I will definitely ask my son for me to the emperor in person!"
Dong Zhuo was confused and felt that his head was not enough. He looked at Li Man on the left and Li Yang on the right, and thought to himself: "What plan? What is the plan? What does it mean? What situation?"
Dong Zhuo really couldn't imagine that a sixteen-year-old child would use a trick. Who would believe this if he told me?
Li Man gently patted Dong Zhuo on the shoulder and said, "Any siege tomorrow will be fully commanded by Zhongying. I will personally take charge of the central army and wait for the news of your victory!"
After a brief moment of confusion, Dong Zhuo had already come back to his senses and bowed and said, "The last general will take the order!"
Dong Zhuo believes that after Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely have a sharp drop in morale and its combat effectiveness will also drop sharply. Dong Zhuo is full of confidence and believes that Guangzong can be broken by a blink of an eye!
As a result, reality gave Dong Zhuo a loud slap!
Dong Zhuo commanded the army and launched an attack on Guangzong City at the second day.
I thought that after Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban Army would become vulnerable, but what was beyond Dong Zhuo's surprise was that the Yellow Turban Army fought back desperately under the leadership of General Zhang Liang, which actually made Dong Zhuo's fierce attack lasting for one day without any achievements.
It was not until this time that Dong Zhuo finally put away his contempt and took the strategies proposed by Li Yang!
After Dong Zhuo led the defeated troops back to the camp, Li Man ordered people to close the camp gate and ordered the army to take a temporary rest in the camp.
After Zhang Liang learned from the scout that the Han army camp was closed, he was indeed trapped and concluded that the Han army would not attack Guangzong again in the near future, so he relaxed his vigilance against the Han army.
As a result, Li Man acted according to Li Yang's plan and at dawn the next day, he personally led his army to launch a decisive attack on Guangzongcheng!
The Yellow Turban Army was caught off guard. As soon as they started fighting, the Han army occupied the absolute battlefield and took the initiative.
Referring to previous battles, under such circumstances, if ordinary troops had long been fled in a panic, Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army was worthy of being the backbone of the Yellow Turban Army. Even in extremely unfavorable circumstances, they still fought fiercely with the imperial army under the leadership of Zhang Liang.
The imperial army was subjected to tenacious resistance from the Yellow Turban Army, and the battle began at dawn and lasted until evening.
The early disadvantages were not easily regained, especially Zhang Liang was facing the world-famous Li Man.
When the Yellow Turban Army fought to the death until evening, Li Hu came first and Han Bao followed closely behind. The two of them fought all over the city, and finally opened the south gate of Guangzong City and welcomed the army into the city.
In this battle, the Yellow Turban Army suffered more than 80,000 casualties, and the rest of the people fled one after another. Guangzong's nail was finally pulled out by Li Man!
After entering the city, Li Man ordered people to dig Zhang Jiao's coffin, chop his body into minced meat, put his head in a wooden box, sprinkle with lime, and ordered the postman to hold Zhang Jiao's head and rushed to Luoyang for 800 miles to report the victory to the emperor.
In November, Li Man continued to work hard and led the victorious army to attack Zhang Bao's troops in Quyang (near Gucheng Village, Jinzhou, Hebei).
Although Zhang Bao had a large number of people, his Yellow Turban Army's individual combat capabilities were not comparable to that of Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Bao was not Li Man's opponent. He was defeated in less than a month and lost. All of his more than 100,000 Yellow Turban Army under his command took the initiative to surrender to Li Man.
At this point, all the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army were attacked, and the scattered Yellow Turban Army in other areas knew that they could not make a difference, so they either surrendered or fled and were all disbanded.
The largest peasant uprising in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was finally pacified by the court.
