Chapter 374: Huang Zhong's debut, the control between advance and retreat The next two

Another day passed.

The haunting between the Western Liang Army and the Yellow Turban Army within a radius of fifty or sixty miles in the western suburbs of Jiangyi City gradually formed a situation of confrontation.

The Yellow Turbans are in the middle.

The Yellow Turban Camp, north and south are two wings, and the camp is built on a steep slope in the middle, with a triangular position and a character defense.

And the place where the Yellow Turban Camp is twelve or thirteen miles east is the location of Jiangyi City, where more than 10,000 main forces of Li Yu of the Xiliang Army are stationed, spread out in a word, relying on the city wall in the east, forming a network.

To the west is the main force of the Western Liang Army.

This part of the soldiers and horses slowly pressed and cut off the two roads back to Baibo Valley, one galloping road and one small road, all of which were firmly controlled by the soldiers and horses under Guo Yan's command.

Under the situation of confrontation, the Xiliang army frequently sent troops to the temptation.

But the Yellow Turban Army was as stable as Mount Tai, and there was no panic in being besieged.

Wait two more days.

The Yellow Turban Army is not chaotic, but the two main generals of Xiliang are a little impatient.

On this day, Li Yu and Jia Xu took more than 100 cavalrymen and personally went to the gate of the Yellow Turban Barracks to observe the situation of the officers and men of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Our main force has been flanking from east to west and besieging them for two days, but they don't seem to be in the slightest chaos!"

Li Yu looked at the Yellow Turban Camp, where the soldiers were sitting together in groups of three or five, with a somewhat lazy atmosphere, and the voices made by more talking and laughing were not the slightest haste.

"They seem to be dragging us along!"

Jia Xu squinted, looked at the Yellow Turban Barracks, and said faintly.

These days, the Yellow Turban Army has not had any offensive, and the face-to-face engagements have shown one word, steady, the more stable, the more they are dragging time, and these Yellow Turban Army are obviously dragging time.

"Dragging us?"

Li Yu said: "What's the use of dragging us? ”

"I don't know!" Jia Xu smiled bitterly, he thought for a while, turned his head to look at the sky in the north: "If their main force is not here, maybe it makes sense, they simply want to send troops to clear Ping Mountain and relieve the siege of the Hun army, but they are worried that we will make trouble, so they send troops to provoke us!" ”

"Then we can't wait!"

"But I'm not sure of their strength, it's a taboo in battle!" Jia Xu acted cautiously, and he had to worry about whether this would be a trap for the Yellow Turban Army.

"Strategist, I think you're still thinking too much!"

Li Yu said in a deep voice: "You and I have calculated the strength of the main force of the Yellow Turban, even if there is a trap, with our strength, we will not suffer a big loss!" ”

Since the defeat of the Yellow Turbans a few months ago, after Guo Tai was beheaded by them, the remaining troops have been clear at a glance, even now that Niu Fu has led the Flying Bear Army to Luoyang, with their troops, they can eat these Yellow Turbans.

I didn't fight before, but I didn't want to gnaw on the hard bone of Baibo Valley.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army has abandoned Baibo Valley, it is already a great opportunity.

When Jia Xu heard this, he was silent.

Although he still felt that something was wrong, he couldn't find a reason to refute it, Li Yu was right, the Yellow Turban troops were clear at a glance, if he was timid, I was afraid that he would miss the opportunity.

"Inform Guo Yan that I want to join the Yellow Turban Army!"

Li Yu decided that as a leading general, he had the courage to make a decision immediately.

Jia Xu is a military advisor, as a heavy military advisor, he is also very important in the Xiliang Army, he is proficient in military strategy, has a precise layout, and a cautious battle plan, but on the battlefield he still lacks a decisive determination and courage.

So when he was still judging the situation, Li Yu gave an order.

Under Dong Zhuo, one is one writer and one martial arts, Li Ruye, the one who is in charge of the army, and the one who is in charge of the army, none other than Niu Fu, both of whom are his sons-in-law, and they are also the people he values and trusts the most.

Niu Fu was under the command of Guo Yan and Li Yu.

The soldiers and horses left in Hedong by the Xiliang Army were also led by two people, and now Li Yu gave the order, which is equivalent to deciding the battle.

As soon as the military ordered, the main force of Xiliang began to pour out.

Stomp !!!!

The Xiliang cavalry was the fastest, and in less than an hour, they had already arrived at the Yellow Turban military camp ten miles away.

"Kill it!"

Li Yu took the lead, holding a big knife in his hand, slashed straight at the main gate, and rushed in.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

There are 3,000 cavalry in Xiliang, which can impact the camp of ten thousand troops, and everywhere they go, under the trampling of horses' hooves, they are all ruins.

"No one?"

"There's no one here!"

"Empty camp!"

But after the Xiliang army entered it, they found that this was already an empty camp.

"It's an empty camp here, when did they leave?"

Li Yu rode on horseback and looked around at the surrounding terrain, his eyes were extremely gloomy.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"General, the Yellow Turban Army has been discovered in the western official road!"

"Official?"

Li Yu was a little puzzled: "They actually dare to go to the official road, or go west, want to go straight to Guo Yan's main force, and escape from Guo Yan's gap, this trip is delusional?" ”

But if he can't think about it, his first task now is to take down the Yellow Turban Army: "Order, the whole army will pursue, and the Yellow Turban thieves must not be allowed to escape!" ”

"No!"

The generals received the order, and each led his troops in pursuit.

"If you want to get out, no way!" Li Yu also led his own soldiers to bite up.

……

On the official road.

"General, the Xiliang Army is catching up!"

"In less than two hours, it has already been pursued, worthy of being the elite of Xiliang, the speed is so fast!"

The corners of Huang Zhong's mouth raised slightly, and a sneer: "But it's just right!" ”

He directly ordered: "Pass my military order, the left and right flanks, advance according to the original plan, before dark, we must engage Guo Yan's Xiliang army, we have to fight a chaotic field battle, just start at ten in the evening!" ”

"No!"

The herald rode out to give the order.

Huang Zhong summoned the five battalion commanders of the Chinese army to come up, and then opened a map: "Listen, although we only have less than 7,000 soldiers, but the terrain allows us to exert our maximum combat effectiveness, we are going to fight here and gather them!" ”

"Please command, General!"

"Yang Xin, lead two thousand troops, confront them here, meet them for half an hour, retreat immediately, do not fall in love, do not delay, after withdrawing, lure the Xiliang cavalry, come from this direction, after arriving at this three-way crossing, to the right, break away by yourself, after separation, to the west, meet us here!"

"No!"

Yang Xin led the troops away.

"Guo Cong!"

"In!"

"You lead a thousand troops, meet Yang Xin at this three-way position, after Yang Xin's soldiers and horses go to the right, you lead your troops to meet them, fight for a quarter of an hour, immediately withdraw, go along the path to the left, and I will meet you at the small river ferry three miles away!"

"Yes!"

Battalion commander Guo Cong took the order and led the troops away.

"Everyone else is at my command!"

Huang Zhong clenched his fist and directly hit the location of a red heart on the map: "We're here to snipe them!" ”

"No!"

The generals commanded.

……

At noon, there was no sun, light snow was falling, and under the fluttering snowflakes, Li Yu led the Xiliang cavalry, went to the official road, and pursued westward.

"Sons, kill!"

Suddenly, a group of Yellow Turban troops came out halfway.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Two thousand soldiers, like wolves and tigers, first attacked with a wave of bows and arrows, and then rushed out directly, like an ambush, in this place of the official road, impacting the formation of the Xiliang cavalry.

After all, the official road is a road, even if it is wide, it cannot accommodate about 10,000 people in front of it, so it is suitable for a battlefield where a few soldiers and horses ambush most soldiers and horses.

"Ambush?"

Li Yu was not confused at all, his eyes were cold, he raised the long knife in his hand, and drank coldly: "They are seeking their own death, Xiliang children, kill them!" ”

It seemed to be a place of ambush, but there were no valleys on the left and right, no hidden passages, and at a glance, it was impossible to ambush the charge of their cavalry.

"Whoa, kill it!"

"Kill it!"

The Xiliang cavalry, with an unusually fierce momentum, had an invincible arrogance on the battlefield, and more than 1,000 cavalry led by the front directly rushed over against the rain of arrows.

"Block!"

"Block them!"

Although the Yellow Turbans looked like an ambush, it was more like a defensive war.

Yang Xin had doubted why Huang Zhong would choose this place to ambush, but now that the fight started, he suddenly understood that this was conducive to defense, but not conducive to cavalry attack, so that they could suppress the offensive of the Xiliang army.

Under the handover of soldiers, the two sides heard a terrible scream, and countless flesh and blood flew and stirred.

"Kill the past, leave no one behind!"

Li Yu was a little angry, he stared at the front, and the few Yellow Turban Army actually blocked them.

"Retreat!"

"Withdraw a little more!"

"Come back a little bit!"

Under the offensive of the Xiliang Army, the Yellow Turban Army was naturally defeated and retreated, but under the retreat, their casualties were not so obvious.

"Battalion commander, we can't stop it, if we retreat, we will lose our geographical advantage!"

"How long has the battle been!"

"About half an hour!"

"Withdraw!"

Yang Xin strictly obeyed Huang Zhong's military order, fought for about half an hour, and directly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

"Chase!"

Li Yu was killing, and suddenly he saw that the Yellow Turban Army wanted to withdraw his troops, and he was furious in his heart, is this a provocation, tickle, run away after scratching, how can there be such a good thing, he didn't say a word, and directly ordered to chase and kill.

"Chase!"

"Chase!"

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army are very special at this moment, this official road is too narrow, which is not conducive to their development at all, and after fighting for a long time, they finally want to penetrate this official road and spread out their troops to fight, but this yellow scarf suddenly withdrew, which naturally made them feel angry.

The Xiliang army chased after it, but the Yellow Turban Army withdrew quickly because of the terrain, and the distance between the two sides was not large.

After chasing and chasing, I walked about three miles.

It's a three-way street.

"Boys, to the right!"

Yang Xin raised his head, looked around, in a jungle, he had already seen Guo Cong's soldiers and horses ready to go, he didn't say hello, and went directly to the right.

Between handovers, there is a gap.

This gap can be easily caught, so they are extremely careful.

"All archers ready!"

Guo Cong stood in the middle of a jungle, his eyes were lifelike, staring at the official road in front of him.

The terrain of this three-way crossing is relatively special, to the left and right, there is no way around a jungle, and it is a good place for ambushes.

"Give me chase, you must not let them run!" Li Yu's cold voice continued to echo above the official road, and the hooves of the Xiliang cavalry roared, trampling the ground.

"Woo Woo !!!"

Suddenly, a rain of arrows came out of the jungle.

"Damn it!"

"It's an archer!"

"Defense!"

At the front of the impact, the cavalry was shot a lot, one person flipped on his back, fell under the horse's hooves, some were trampled, some fell to death, and there was chaos.

In just that moment, hundreds of cavalry died tragically.

"What a lure to attack!"

Li Yu reined in the reins of the horse, his eyes swept sharply, and the corners of his mouth raised a sinister smile, which was a manifestation of his extreme anger: "Where are the archers? ”

"In!"

The horse's hooves sounded, and the archers of the Xiliang army lined up, forming two teams, half bowing left and right, pulling their bows and arrows, and aiming their arrows in all directions.

"Shoot me!"

Li Yu pointed to the jungle: "Force them out!" ”

"Woo Woo !!!"

In the midst of the indiscriminate shooting, several mournful cries rang out in the jungle.

"Get out!"

This jungle is not big, under the cover of bows and arrows, it is impossible to hide people, Guo Cong can only withdraw with his soldiers, exposing his figure to the eyelids of the Xiliang army.

"This person is also worthy of ambushing a certain family and looking for death!"

Li Yu's murderous intent rose: "Rush over and crush them!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The cavalry that rushed to the front was surging.

"Boys, give me a retreat!"

Guo Cong glanced around, the soldiers under his command were not as good as Yang Xin, Yang Xin still had cavalry to kill, his only foot soldiers, with a bow and arrow to block them for a quarter of an hour, he had already exceeded the task, and now he must not be hard and hard.

"General, they go all the way to the right, all the way to the left, what are we like?"

General Xiliang looked at the left and right directions of the three forks in a bit of confusion.

"Two soldiers?"

Li Yu glanced around and directly removed this thought from his mind.

It was not the first time he fought on the battlefield, he would not make some unnecessary mistakes, and he was ambushed twice, although it could not hurt his morale and main force, but it also reminded him that the road ahead is not easy to walk.

"To the left, take the path and pursue!" Li Yu ordered.

"Chase!"

"Chase!"

The Xiliang army rushed to the left side of the road.

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

"Their cavalry is coming in pursuit, quick!"

Guo Cong was fleeing for his life, his 1,000 soldiers and horses were less than 800, and the entire 200 soldiers fell on the road being pursued, which was less than three miles away, and lost the lives of more than 200 soldiers.

Even if the path is not conducive to the pursuit of cavalry, cavalry is still the ace of this era, and it is too restrained for these foot soldiers.

"It's here!"

This is a small river, under the snow, there is a layer of snowflakes floating on the river, I can't see the depth clearly, I only see that one by one the boats have been moored on the shore, Guo Cong is in a hurry, directly on the boat, so that the boat goes to the opposite bank.

"Damn it!"

The Xiliang cavalry pursued up, but they were on the shore, they had no boat, and they could not cross the river at all, so they could only look in the opposite direction with some gloomy eyes.

"It's all made them run, damn it!"

Li Yu was late, his fists clenched, and his eyes stared at the disappearing figure with a fierce killing intent.

Thousands of horsemen stood on the banks of the river, watching them go away.

"General, what shall we do?"

"Go upstream and downstream, see if there is a bridge, let's find a bridge to go over!"

"No!"

The generals were ordered to turn around and go up and down the river.

Woohoo!!!!!

At this moment, on the hillside, which they had not noticed, bursts of bows and arrows were issued, forming a rain of arrows, completely covering the three thousand cavalry.

"Not good!"

"Defend quickly!"

"There are enemies in the back!"

The Xiliang cavalry was in chaos, they didn't expect that the pursuing enemy army had already crossed the river, and there was an enemy ambush hidden on a small hillside behind them, and when all their attention was on the enemy crossing the river on the river, the Yellow Turban Army hiding behind them launched an attack on them.
