Chapter Seventy-Five: The Prologue to the Raid
The action to persuade Huang Fu Song was still very smooth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info is at least not as difficult as Li Qin suspected.
After looking at the battle situation and understanding the specific situation of our army, Huangfu Song, who originally thought that the whole army would fight hard, decisively agreed to Li Qin's suggestion: form a surprise force composed entirely of cavalry to break directly into the camp of the Yellow Turban Army and take Zhang Jiao first.
As for the question of whether taking Zhang Jiao will cause the collapse of the Yellow Turban Army, and then lead to the Yellow Turban Army scattering and fleeing.
Huangfu Song also saw it in the end: "Let them collapse!" I will send a message to the Taishou and county guards in Julu County and even Jizhou later, and order them to keep an eye on the routed enemy that will appear. I want to see how long these people who have lost the fighting spirit and the strength can hold out when everyone is shouting and fighting. ”
How long can it last? Li Qin is hard to say. But he knew that Huangfu Song could distinguish the priorities of things.
So under the order sent by Huangfu Song, Sun Jian came, and Zhang Fei also came. Huangfu Song asked Zhang Chao to replace Zhang Fei as the commander of the rear formation, and combined the cavalry commanded by Sun Jian and Zhang Chao's cavalry into one, bringing together 5,000 people.
For the Yellow Turban Army, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who have always dealt with them, said that they would despise them. But when it came to the end, the two of them attached surprising importance to the Yellow Turban Army.
They knew it was the final blow to the Yellow Turbans. This one lasted a day. In order to ensure the success of the raid, they naturally sent the strongest force in their hands.
After some mobilization and rectification, after another hour passed for more than half of the time, Sun Jian finally led the cavalry to set off.
Li Qin followed the army. Because he didn't see Susan, a veteran, Li Qin pressed his hand to his right ear and whispered while riding: "We have set off, what about you?" If you don't come, you won't be able to catch up. ”
"Hehe...... hee-hee" As soon as Li Qin's words fell, he remembered Susan's coquettish smile in his ears: "Don't worry, I'm already following." You turn your head to look behind your right. ”
"Huh? My right rear? Li Qin turned his head in surprise, turned to his right rear, and just in time to see a petite knight riding a horse not far behind Sun Jian, chuckling and waving his hand at him.
Li Qin saw that she was dressed as an ordinary soldier, so he asked her strangely: "Why are you like this?" It's hard to ......"
Li Qin had a guess in his heart, but he didn't finish his words.
"Hey, that's what you imagined!" Susan smiled and nodded.
"You're just going to slip away, won't your family be in a hurry?" Li Qin's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Slip away. No big deal. And it's on the battlefield, and he doesn't go too far because of me. Susan said with certainty.
After being a pillow person for such a long time, she obviously has enough understanding of Cao Cao.
"You're so powerful!" Li Qin was speechless about this, and he could only let her be.
The cavalry runs. A total of 5,000 cavalry rushed through the front formation where Guan Yu was like a storm, like a wave of sharp blades slamming into the depths of the Yellow Turban Array.
It was a sudden attack, and the Yellow Turbans were caught off guard.
Although Zhang Sheng had already seen the movements of the officials and troops here on the side of the Yellow Turban Army, and had secretly made all kinds of preparations, it was ......
"No matter how much you prepare, you can't imagine that the official army will use such a big killing weapon." Looking at the cavalry that was advancing towards him like a black dragon under the dim sky, Zhang Sheng's face was full of bitterness.
"If only I could control those corpses...... Zhang Sheng thought at the moment. But there is no way to do this, and he who has never practiced the relevant Dao Fa will not be able to do this at all.
In the face of the officers and cavalry who rushed over, he could only helplessly choose to put the soldiers he could control on top to prevent them from directly attacking his own formation.
Protecting the security of the Chinese army's large array is what every commander-in-chief will inevitably do.
The tired Yellow Turban soldiers were dragged to their feet by the veterans around them, and they staggered forward under the leadership of their respective leaders. They were already very tired, and they were exhausted by a hard day's fighting. At this time, let them move forward, and they couldn't help but curse in their mouths.
They continued to fight, but they were very reluctant, but they retreated, and the sword of the Overseer was still held high. So, they can only procrastinate.
Respond in a negative way.
It's just that this negative response met the cavalry galloping over, and everything came to naught.
The clatter of horses' hooves thundered in their ears. Tall, monster-like figures approached from the darkness, like a gust of wind skimming their sides.
These figures did not make any movements of slashing with their swords, they just held the long sword in their hands tightly with both hands, crossed their waists, and let the war horse gallop forward to bring speed to the long sword in their hands. The speed of the gallop of the war horse is equal to the speed of the cavalry swinging and slashing with the sword. Such a speed is very fatal to those who are opposite to the cavalry.
As a result, one after another fierce figures crashed into the formation of their queue, and pieces of snow-colored sword light swept by, blood splattered out, and amputated limbs flew into the air.
Soon the cavalry passed. After the cavalry passed, the originally dense queue became loose, like the ground combed directly by a sharp iron plow, leaving an extremely vivid mark.
In this way, the cavalry passed, leaving behind a place of chicken feathers.
The cavalry came so quickly, and the response on his side seemed so weak, which Zhang Sheng had never imagined.
Just wiped one side, and hundreds of people fell compared to their own side...... Zhang Sheng became more and more annoyed by this. With his eyes, he could naturally clearly see that the result was not that the enemy was too strong, but that the soldiers on his side were too low.
"Let's get our spirits up. On this battlefield, negligence is equivalent to death. Zhang Sheng sharply ordered the commander and leader under his command: "The enemy's cavalry has been dispatched. Next we have to prevent them from piercing again...... It's the first round, and you've given them a lot of results. If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid that this cavalry alone will take the lives of all of us. ”
Under Zhang Sheng's ear, the tired soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army finally sped up a little. Under the reprimand and reprimand of the leaders around them, they reluctantly lined up, propped up their spears, and completed the most basic preparations to deal with the cavalry raid.
Everyone thought that the cavalry of the official army would come back after going around and around......
But they were disappointed.
Although the dim black fog clouded the view of the battlefield and made it difficult for both the enemy and us to see it so really, Zhang Sheng's side waited for a long time and did not hear the sound of the officers and troops turning around and breaking in again. This made Zhang Sheng really puzzled.
"This group of guys from the official army...... What exactly do they want to do? Zhang Sheng was puzzled.
He began to think. Suddenly, an astonishing thought popped into his mind.
"That direction ......" Zhang Sheng turned his head in disbelief, and fear burst out: "That direction is the direction leading to the big camp, and the officers and soldiers will never return there." They wouldn't want to deal with Shizun. ”
Zhang Sheng thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he felt. If it was at the beginning of the battle, because of the protection of the army, he would never have worried about this.
But now......
"The formation in front of me is already so sparse. As long as the officers and troops gather 5,000 cavalry...... No, only 3,000 men are enough, and they will definitely be able to break through our formation and kill us in the rear with their own strength. There were only more than a thousand veterans in the camp to guard them, and they could never be the opponents of the officers and soldiers. In this way......" Zhang Sheng thought about it, and was terrified in his heart: "In this way, isn't the master dangerous?" No...... This is absolutely not true, I am afraid that all this is my imagination. ”
Zhang Sheng shouted quietly, he hoped that he was thinking badly.
However, it was not long before the light of the fire that came out of his own camp proved that his crow's beak was still very effective.
"Oops, the camp is under attack, we need to hurry back!" Zhang Sheng shouted in horror.
"Go back! Get back! "The generals have no opinion on this. They began to gather forces, but it was obviously not so easy to gather forces under such a dim yellow turban.
At this time, the fire in the Yellow Turban Army camp in the rear was already more and more dazzling.
The fire was lit two quarters of an hour ago. No one deliberately set the fire, everything was just an accident - in the midst of a fierce fight, one of the Yellow Turban soldiers fell to the ground and involuntarily knocked over a brazier under an altar, and sparks from the brazier came out and set the surrounding tents on fire.
This is definitely an accident, but at the same time it is an inevitability.
Something so dangerous to fight in a camp full of open flames can indeed cause a fire. Even if not now, it's not the near future.
Because there was no one to put out the fire, the fire quickly expanded. The glittering light of the fire, which lit up one tent after another, soon illuminated the entire camp.
In the midst of the light, the altar, which was still shrouded in darkness, stood out very abruptly. The scorching flames seemed to be terrified of the location. Occasionally, a bright fire rushed to that side, but disappeared silently by the side of the altar. It was as if an invisible shield had enveloped the altar, keeping the scorching flames out.
"That must be where Zhang Jiao is......" Li Qin shouted when he saw that there was something special there.
This call attracted everyone's attention. Everyone also saw the difference on the altar, and they all agreed with Li Qin's statement.
"Since Zhang Jiao is there, let's rush straight up." Zhang Fei roared loudly, turned over and jumped off the horse, and rushed towards the high altar.
"Kill!" With Zhang Fei's charge, many people also followed. Li Qin saw that among these people was Susan.
"She's so fast." Li Qin also wanted to follow up immediately, but as a general, he still had something to explain: "General Wentai, there are still many yellow turban thieves in the camp, and there is already a fire burning here. The main force of the Yellow Turban Army will definitely come to the rescue. I hope you'll be able to hold on here for a while. ”
"But the ...... up there Why didn't he stay. Sun Jian pouted dissatisfiedly and looked at Zhang Fei.
"Do you think with his reckless personality can he stay? Defending requires wisdom and patience. This is something that only you can do here. Li Qin said half complimentingly and half persuasively.
"Alas......" Sun Jian sighed, and finally could only reluctantly agree: "Here, I will help you defend it." ”
"That's good...... Rest assured, we'll come to you soon with the head of the horn. Li Qin saw that Sun Jian agreed to come down, and said happily.
He then turned around, hugged his fist at Sun Jian, and immediately followed Zhang Fei and Susan to the altar.
