The incident happened so suddenly that the 50,000 Yellow Turban bandits hidden in the forest didn't even have time to react before they were shot by crossbow bolts and rockets, suffering heavy losses.
Ran Min held a halberd and led 10,000 black armored cavalry to charge in.
Luo Cheng brandished his silver spear and attacked the Yellow Turban rebels from the right.
Under the huge difference in strength, the Yellow Turban rebels were like ants.
The 20,000 black-armored cavalry and 7,000 white-robed soldiers were like tigers and wolves, causing the Yellow Turban bandits to panic.
Some of the Yellow Turban bandits were even killed on the spot by the eagle-feathered archers outside the forest.
Seeing that he was being crushed by Yang Yi's troops, the Yellow Turban bandit general shouted,""Block them. We must kill these reinforcements in the forest.”
"Yes!"
Although these Yellow Turban rebel soldiers responded in unison, they also lost ten thousand Yellow Turban rebel soldiers.
From then on, the morale of the Yellow Turban rebels became extremely low.
The Yellow Turban bandits did not expect that their sneak attack would fail and they would be ambushed instead. Immediately, they felt the power and terror of Yang Yi's troops.
Yuwen Cheng picked up the phoenix-winged gold-plated boring tool and fought his way out of the encirclement, charging straight at the Yellow Turban thief general.
The Yellow Turban thief general didn't expect the general to be so fierce. The phoenix wing gold-plated boring seemed to have the strength of a thousand pounds. With a clang, his hand cracked and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yuwen Cheng's martial strength was as high as 103 points. A small fry like the Yellow Turban Thief General would not be able to withstand a single blow.
As the Yellow Turban general was killed, the remaining 40,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were like headless flies, running back and forth.
Some black-armored cavalry or white-robed soldiers even died at the hands of the panicking Yellow Turban bandits.
In order to escape, these Yellow Turban rebel troops had used all their strength and were as anxious as stray dogs.
The Yellow Turban rebel general was killed. Looking at the more than 30,000 Yellow Turban rebel soldiers, Yang Yi sneered slightly and began to let the generals finish up the operation.
Seeing nearly 20,000 Yellow Turban bandits die in the forest, the surrounded Yellow Turban bandits hurriedly threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Yang Yi knew that these Yellow Turban rebels were the common people of the Great Han Dynasty. They had risen up because of Zhang Jiao's bewitchment.
Looking at the 20,000 soldiers surrounded by 30,000 soldiers, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel pity.
It was good to leave these people behind and reclaim the wasteland.
After all, they were the Great Han people and were different from the Outsiders.
Yang Yi had always used both hard and soft methods to suppress and appease the Yellow Turban Army.
In this battle, Yang Yi's troops lost less than two thousand soldiers, killed twenty thousand Yellow Turban rebels, captured twenty thousand, and the remaining ten thousand fled in defeat.
After collecting the weapons of the Yellow Turban rebels who had surrendered, Yang Yi ordered five thousand black-armored cavalry to guard the captives.
After that, Yang Yi ordered the soldiers to prepare food while he led Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min, Yuwen Cheng, Luo Cheng, Wang Meng, and the other generals and strategists to discuss in the forest.
After tasting the benefits of a surprise attack, Ran Min, Luo Cheng, and the other generals agreed to march through the night.
He wanted to launch a night attack on the Changshe Yellow Turban bandits before they reacted.
Wang Meng looked at the high-spirited generals and said in a deep voice,"My lord, the situation in Changshe City is critical. Once the defeated Yellow Turban soldiers run to the camp and inform the Yellow Turban commander, Bo Cai, he will definitely mobilize his troops and attack Changshe City with all his might. This way, the 2 Lieutenant Generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong would be in danger.”
Wang Meng's words hit the nail on the head.
That was because the defeated Yellow Turban army would definitely tell Bo Cai about this.
If Bo Cai knew that the 50,000 Yellow Turban rebels had been defeated, he would definitely fight to occupy Changshe City.
Therefore, it was as if they were racing against time.
More importantly, he wanted to take advantage of the 30,000-strong cavalry annihilating the 50,000-strong Yellow Turban rebel army and the high morale to take the opportunity to break through the Yellow Turban commander besieging Changshe City.
Compared to the Yellow Turban rebel army lying in ambush in the forest, the Yellow Turban rebel army besieging Changshe City was the elite.
Yang Yi heard this and paced back and forth. He muttered,""Since that's the case, we'll rush over tonight.”
"Yes!"
All the generals cupped their fists in unison when they heard this.
That night, Yang Yi ordered five thousand black-armored cavalry to lead twenty thousand Yellow Turban captives to Changshe City.
He led his generals and strategists, 15,000 black-armored cavalry, 7,000 white-robed soldiers, and 5,000 eagle-feathered archers towards Changshe City.
Yang Yi did not know that the defeated army had already reported this matter to the Yellow Turban commander Bo Cai, who was besieging Changshe.
At the same time, while Yang Yi led his army to eliminate the 50,000 Yellow Turban bandits hiding in the forest, the guards sent by Youzhou Governor Liu Yan to Luoyang entered the posthouse in Luoyang to rest that night.
On the second day, the guard brought Liu Yan's battle report and headed straight for Luoyang's Imperial Palace.
Luoyang Imperial Palace, Chengde Palace.
The Han Emperor Liu Hong was also known as the Han Ling Emperor. Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he became extremely anxious.
In just a few months, the Yellow Turban army led by the leader of the bandits, Zhang Jiao, had already besieged seven states and twenty-eight counties. The nearly one million rebel soldiers were like a storm, unstoppable.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi, whom he had already sent out, were trapped in Changshe by the Yellow Turban rebels.
Once Changshe City falls, Luoyang will be in danger, and the Han Dynasty will be in danger.
In Cheng De Palace, all the officials were silent.
