On the morning of the sixth day, the sun was shining brightly and the surface temperature was quite high. The Han army drank full of water, ate the meal, and prepared.

So Guo Peng ordered the cavalry to dismount and rushed up the hill with the infantry to attack the Yellow Turban camp.

The Yellow Turban Army tried to organize resistance, but very few could fight. Most of them could not pull their bows and lift the wooden and rocks, and the camp was soon captured by the Han army.

When Guo Peng led his army into the camp, he found that many Yellow Turban troops were too thirsty to fight, and not many people could stand up.

Guo Peng led his army to kill more than 500 Yellow Turban Army and surrendered more than 800 people.

The head of this camp was very lively and was slashed by Guo Peng and his head was cut off.

After the camp attack mission was completed, Guo Peng obtained some weapons and supplies, and obtained more than 500 stones of corn and some livestock.

Guo Peng's troops suffered very little casualties, 51 infantrymen died in battle and 17 cavalrymen died in battle.

The slight casualties were exchanged for such great results. Guo Peng went to Lu Zhi to report to him. Lu Zhi was very satisfied with Guo Peng's record and asked Guo Peng about the whole process.

After Guo Peng finished his story, Lu Zhi expressed his satisfaction with Guo Peng's behavior of observing the surrounding environment of the battlefield and calmly analyzing the pros and cons of our enemies.

Then he ordered Guo Peng to lead a thousand soldiers to attack another Yellow Turban camp.

This time, Guo Peng met a Yellow Turban Army officer who was about to fight against the Han army head-on, and then Guo Peng took his cavalry to teach him how to be a human being.

How dare more than a dozen cavalrymen hedge against the 500 Han army cavalry with rich combat experience?

Guo Peng led his army to defeat the Yellow Turban Army of about 1,500 people head-on, and used field battles to kill the Yellow Turban officer, cut off his head, and returned to the Han army camp with more than 500 prisoners, and accepted Lu Zhi's praise.

Guo Peng felt that he could command a thousand soldiers to deal with a considerable number of military tasks. If he wanted to only learn more soldiers, he would not dare to do so.

After the attack, some military strongholds set up by Zhang Jiao on the periphery of Guangzong were wiped out one by one by Guo Peng and other generals, and none of them survived.

Lu Zhi then completed the siege of Guangzong County.

During this process, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City did not attack.

Zhang Jiao didn't choose to attack for some reason, which surprised Guo Peng a little.

Seeing that the military stronghold he set up outside the city was wiped out, and his wings were cut off, he did nothing, and let Lu Zhi surround Guangzong. What was he going to do?

Is this a way out of his life to the Han army?

Isn't this a strange thing?

Even if Zhang Jiao is incompetent, he won’t even understand this truth, right?

So Guo Peng made a bold guess.

"To be honest, Zifeng, my teacher also has such a speculation. Otherwise, this would be too abnormal. The scouts scattered out of the country said that the Yellow Turban thieves within nearly a hundred miles of surrounding areas did not show up to Guangzong. They were not waiting for reinforcements. Then, there was only one explanation. There was a problem with them and Zhang Jiao."

Lu Zhi told Guo Peng that he had the same idea.

The master and apprentice thought of going together.

Guo Peng and Lu Zhi both believed that Zhang Jiao might not be able to effectively command what happened outside the city for some reason. The reason is that Zhang Jiao is sick, or is the kind of disease that is very sick, and the kind that cannot get up in bed.

Their guess is correct.

Zhang Jiao is really sick, and he still can't get up after lying in bed. It's very serious, so serious that it makes his confidants around him want to cry.

Zhang Jiao fell ill just now after losing his younger brother Zhang Liang.

After returning from outside, Zhang Jiao fainted before he could issue any orders. He lay on the bed for five days before he woke up slowly. He fainted again after not awake for an hour, and just woke up.

The Yellow Turban Army and Taiping Daoist in the city were frightened by Zhang Jiao's illness and did not dare to do anything at all.

Even standing on the city wall to guard the county town, fearing that the Han army would organize an attack at this time, and they would have no leader.

Zhang Jiao's other younger brother Zhang Bao was guarding Xiaquyang in the north. There were also Han military soldiers who were controlling him, and Zhang Bao was unable to do anything.

Zhang Jiao's illness came very suddenly. The doctor in the Yellow Turban Army said that this was a disease of excessive labor and he had to recover and then prescribed a dose of medicine.

Fortunately, the medicinal materials in the city were still sufficient. Zhang Jiao took the medicine and got a little better. He woke up and lay on the bed and could speak.

"How is it outside the city?"

Zhang Jiao asked this.

"The Han army has completely surrounded Guangzong County."

Let me honestly explain to the generals beside Zhangjiao's bed.

"What? What about the military camps I set up outside the city? What about the military camps that echo ours?"

"All... have been broken."

The general confessed honestly.

"Why not save?"

Zhang Jiao looked surprised.

"The general is unconscious, how can we fight without authorization?"

The generals were covered in desolation.

Zhang Jiao's body trembled, and for a moment, his face turned pale, his eyes rolled, and he fainted again.

"General! General! General!!"

The generals shouted in panic.

However, this is of no use.

The news of Zhang Jiao's coma spread again, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army in the city became even more unstable.

Earlier, when they saw that the military strongholds around Guangzong County were taken down one by one, and the war was in chaos, they were already panicked.

Now Zhang Jiao, who is the backbone, has not woken up for a long time. If he doesn't cheer them up in front of them, they are really about to collapse.

They were not professional soldiers at first and had no will to fight.

In addition to the thousands of Yellow Turban strongmen who were the most brainwashed and equipped with the most strong equipment, most of them were still mobs.

When everyone sees his retreat disappear and sees his chances of living decrease little by little until he becomes completely gone, everyone will feel confused and fearful.

It is May 10th.

May of the seventh year of Guanghe was the turning point of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

From February to April, in three months, the Yellow Turban Army developed to its peak, defeating the Han army step by step, conquering cities and land everywhere, and making a great reputation.

However, they did not use the advantages they have gained in time to further expand their advantages, but instead stood still and did not move, giving the Han government time to breathe a sigh of relief.

It was really amazing that the Han government took a breath.

Originally in April, the main force of the Han army led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun was defeated by 40,000 people in the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army.

In the first battle, Zhu Ye was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army Bo Cai, and had to retreat to Changshe, garrisoned with Huangfu Song, and joined forces to guard the lonely city.

At the same time, Lu Zhi achieved a record of killing more than 20,000 Yellow Turban Army members in Yecheng, and also killed Zhang Liang, the younger brother of the rebel leader Zhang Jiao, with many results.

The two news reached the ears of Ling Emperor at the same time. Ling Emperor didn't know whether he should be happy or cry. After sorting out his mood, Ling Emperor made arrangements.

He ordered the little Huangmen Zuo Feng to reward the Han army with the supplies to reward the army, and to see when the Lu Zhi army could completely wipe out Zhang Jiao.

Then, among the children of the generals in the capital and those with military talents, they were selected and prepared to lead the Yulin cavalry to help Changshe and help Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to rescue the siege.
