Chapter 51: The Yellow Turban Peng Tuo
Yingchuan, the theater where the Han army and the Yellow Turbans fought the fiercest battles.
The Great Han Zhonglang put Huangfu Song in the west and Zhu Jun in the east, and the two Han armies attacked the Yingchuan Yellow Turban with the momentum of fighting each other.
And the leader of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban is named Bocai.
Since the Han army went south out of Yuyuan Pass, the second Zhonglang general and the Yellow Turban of Bocai have attacked each other, and the battle line is close to 100 miles.
At this time, the Han army had already attacked Yingyang, but the Bocai department was broken into pieces and scattered among the countryside, intending to detour to the rear of the Han army and attack back and forth.
The supply lines of the Han army from Yuyuan Pass to Yingyang were constantly transporting food and ordnance, and as the Han army's offensive gradually expanded, the supply lines became more and more dangerous.
At night, a unit of less than 1,000 men of the Yellow Turban Army built ships from the lower reaches of Yingshui, went upstream, and crossed the Han army's blockade line on land under the protection of the night.
Peng Tuo wore a yellow scarf around his neck and sat on the bow of the ship in a leather armor robe, and beside him stood two ring knives and a bronze crossbow.
The non-stop attack and melee for more than a month made Peng Tuo look a little haggard, but his eyes were extremely bright. More than a month ago, when the Yellow Turbans first broke out, Peng Tuo joined the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans as a homeless person, and became a subordinate of He Yi, the Xiaoqu Shuai of the Bocai Department.
He Yi accepted his suggestion, and Peng Tuo also got his wish and led 800 believers as the vanguard to cut off the grain route of the Han army.
"Chief, do you think the Han army will find us?" Beside Peng Tuo, a sturdy and simple young man pouted, looked at the riverside on both sides uneasily, and asked Peng Tuo: "It's so dark, they shouldn't find us." ”
This man's name is He Man, he is the younger brother of Qu Shuai He Yi, Peng Tuo has fought with him many times, and a steel fork on the battlefield is invincible, but he doesn't want to be scared now.
Peng Tuo shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I don't know, we have too many ships." ”
He Man looked at the small boat on the Yingshui, swallowed silently, and did not speak.
Peng Tuo asked, "What, are you scared?" ”
"Nope!" He Man smiled calmly: "How can I be afraid, chief, you really know how to laugh, go back and ask my eldest brother, I He Man has not known what it means to be scared since I was a child." ”
Shaking his head, Peng Tuo chuckled silently, his eyes fixed on the dark riverside, there were so many things he needed to meditate on.
Walking across the water, the river murmured, the night was silent, the cold wind in the night was biting, and Peng Tuo's heart was as cold as ice.
Han Jun or Yellow Turban, which one is not a human being?
Suddenly, He Man pulled Peng Tuo's burqa heavily, lay down on the walker and was very nervous, pointing to the little light on the river bank in the distance and whispering, "Chief...... Firelight! ”
Peng Tuo suddenly turned up, and gestured to the yellow scarf at the stern of the boat, and everyone knelt down to put it on, and a dark cloth was opened and covered with a walker.
"Shh......h Silence. ”
Peng Tuo raised his crossbow and crouched under the cloth, revealing a small opening, and cautiously glanced at the riverbank in the distance, looking like there were Han troops stationed on the riverbank in front of him. He hurriedly moved to the stern of the ship to check the situation of the fleet behind.
Some of the flotillas behind were covered with curtains, while others did not notice the fire ahead.
There are nearly 100 walks, and there must be no leakage.
"Where are we now?" Peng Tuo grabbed a believer and asked, "How far is it from Yang County?" ”
The believer was still a little frightened when he was caught by Peng Tuo, and after a pause, he said, "Chief, it should not be far away, at most there will be another half an hour of boat journey." ”
Peng Tuo gasped and said to He Man: "You take people to get off the boat from here, carefully touch the Han army in front, I will take half of the people to go around to them by water, don't let them find you, once I have movement here, you will lead the crowd to attack the enemy camp, I will kill from the shore, don't miss an enemy." ”
He Man nodded in agreement, and Peng Tuo hurriedly ordered his subordinates to dock the boat, and then beckoned the fleet behind to dock.
It was still about three or four miles away from the land of fire in front of it, and the fleet docked here for a while, and then dozens of ships went upriver again, heading towards the Han army camp in the distance, and hundreds of young men with yellow scarves also took advantage of the night to touch the Han army camp.
……
At night, the main force of the Han army yawned in the camp, this is the hinterland of the Han army's sphere of influence, they don't need to worry about anything, let alone ...... The sentinels guarding the camp were in high spirits.
There were more than 100 grain carts in the camp, and more than 700 sergeants were stationed, most of whom fell into a deep sleep, what could happen in such a place?
"Commander Wu, I heard that Lu Zhonglang fought a big victory in the north and pursued the Yellow Turban for thirty miles. Have you heard? ”
Wu Chang paid attention to the situation around him without squinting, and paused for a while before saying: "The Han army is mighty, and the yellow scarf is not enough. ”
"Captain Wu, I heard that Captain Changshui has recruited troops in Sili and will come to support our army, is it true? Wu Changchang is in the army, have you ever seen Captain Changshui? ”
"Captain Ma Yue of Changshui?" Captain Wu looked at the recruit beside him and shook his head, and said: "I have been in the army for a long time, but Captain Changshui is not here, he used to kill the Xianbei people in Liangzhou to the point of losing his armor, and he only came to Luoyang last year...... Where will I ever meet him? ”
"Alas, it would be nice to be able to fight the enemy under Captain Changshui. I heard that he can lead a few hundred horsemen to be invincible in the Yellow Turban Army. ”
"Why, I'm not satisfied with my subordinates." Wu Chang scolded and kicked the recruit with a smile and said, "Go and call the three sons and them, it's time for them to be on duty all night." ”
However, the recruit did not make any movement after receiving the order, pointed to the shore and said, "Boat, captain, look at the shore, boat." ”
Dozens of boats rushed to the bank of the camp river with the night wind, and hundreds of thieves jumped down from their clothes and rushed towards the camp.
The commander of the Han army rushed towards the thieves with Changge, and more than a dozen sentries on duty at night shouted: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”
"Whoosh!" A crossbow bolt fired, and the commander of the Han army, who was thirty paces away, fell in response.
Peng Tuo dropped the bronze crossbow of the Han army, pointed his long knife straight at the camp, and shouted: "Kill them all!" ”
The Yellow Turbans ran past Peng Tuo with knives and guns, kicking over the braziers and setting the tent on fire, cutting down every Han soldier in their field of vision.
The sleeping Han army quickly got up from the camp tent, and came out with weapons to form a battle with the robes, the Yellow Turban thieves were brave, but the Han army was more numerous, and they were more elite.
In the chaos, a large number of men wearing yellow scarves suddenly poured out at the other end of the camp, and they were about to come out in armor.
Encountering the encirclement, the morale of the Han army dropped greatly, and some people fled to the wilderness in a panic, and some people were cut down without wearing shoes......
After all, the baggage camp was still captured.
Peng Tuo wiped his long knife, looked around and shouted: "Carry the baggage onto the boat, gather the Han army's military horses, tie them together, and set the tail on fire." Everybody get out of here! ”
In the blazing camp, the horses galloped north, and Peng Tuo's men rowed down the river......
