Volume 1 Chapter 34 Han Meng withdrew his troops
Early in the morning, Lieren County, Julu County
Yuan Shao's grain transport team, escorted by 500 soldiers, came out of the county in a mighty way.
This is the rule of the grain transport team: the main thing is that the grain is afraid of fire, and the march is easy to threaten the grain by lighting the torch at night.
Since you can't light a fire, who wants to rush away with a black light?
As a result, when the grain transport team arrived at the county seat, it was inevitable to rest for one night before going on the road.
...
Eight miles north of Lieren County, there are lush groves on both sides of the official road, and it is almost summer, and the groves are full of vitality.
The 1,000 Qinglong battalion led by Huang Zhong and Fu Zhu were ambushed in it.
Tanma had already found out the route of the grain team, and originally wanted to directly attack the grain team, but when Fu Zhu saw this small forest, he discussed it with Huang Zhong, and then set up an ambush to wait for work.
Within an hour, Yuan Shaojun's grain transport team came slowly.
One of the leading generals, with a full beard and unkempt edges, said to the soldiers beside him: "Send military rations to Han Meng's guy again, he doesn't have a war in Shangai County, and he has to trouble Lao Tzu." β
The little soldier beside him said with a flattering face: "What the general said is extremely true, and the lord will not let the general lead the soldiers and horses to attack Changshan County." If the general had led his troops to attack, we would have eaten and drunk in Yuanshi County now. β
"It's justβ" said a group of small soldiers around the general.
Under the praise of the soldiers around him, this general has long been fluttering, forgetting the root of being a general: observing the Quartet.
When he was still more than two hundred and fifty steps away from the grove, Huang Zhong was stretching his bow and arrows.
Listening to the sound of "whoosh", the leader of the grain transport team will see a black dot infinitely magnified, and just about to dodge, the arrow has pierced through the back of the head, and the head of the grain transport team will be black, and then he will go west.
At the same time, there was a burst of bows and arrows in the woods, arrows rained down, and the soldiers guarding the food were shot down one after another.
"Mom, enemy attack." I don't know who in the food protection team shouted, and the soldiers scattered and fled.
After the bow and arrow were fired, a thousand soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion rode out.
These soldiers are okay to ride horses and cut people, but when it comes to archery, it is much worse, a thousand people shoot arrows: only a few dozen people were killed, more than a hundred were wounded, and the rest were all right.
When the soldiers guarding the food saw the cavalry attacking, most of them fell to their knees and surrendered, and only a few still fled.
Huang Zhonggang wanted to shout: "Those who descend will not be killed." As a result, I saw that the grain carriers were all kneeling on the ground.
"Unplanted soldiers." Huang Zhong didn't catch the battle, and left a sentence in a hurry, so he arranged for the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion to collect their weapons, tie them together, and let Changshi Fuzhu come to deal with them.
Frustrated and looked at these soldiers, knowing that their master was about to die, the grain and grass were robbed, and they would be beheaded and punished when they returned to the army, so he couldn't bear it, and said to Huang Zhong:
"We can't drive these captives back, let our soldiers bring food, and give some of the rest of the food to these captives, let them live. Then we gather the grain together and burn it with fire. β
Half an hour later, a fire broke out around the grove, and the soldiers who were carrying the grain said goodbye to the Fenwu army with gratitude, took off their uniforms, took some food, and fled.
.....
Under the city of Shangai
The besieging civilians attacked scattered: they had been plundered, and if it weren't for the broadsword and family behind them, they would have fled.
Although Han Cheng couldn't bear it, after all, the other party's people attacked the city again, so he could only say to the soldiers defending the city: "Resist with all your might." β
By noon, the people besieging the city had suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and Lei Gong and Fuyun no longer had too many people in their hands, only their own elites remained.
Fuyun sent someone to inform Han Meng: "Our side has already suffered more than half of the casualties, and we request to stop the siege." β
Han Meng was furious because he was deceived, and said to the person who came to report the news: "Fart, the people are also your subordinates." This is that there is still a fighting army in the city, or I will be the first to lead the army to exterminate you. Get out of here, or I'll kill you. The messenger was so frightened that he hurried out of the tent.
Yellow Turbans
Fuyun said to Lei Gong: "Brother, I see that this Han Meng only wants us to consume the strength of the defenders in the city, and has no intention of attacking the city, so it is better for us to take advantage of the night and flee for our lives." β
Lei Gong said: "Brother, without these brothers, even if we return to Taihang Mountain, we will have no place." β
Fuyun said: "Brother, when is it, it's important to save your life." β
Lei Gong said, "Wait a few more days." I feel that Han Meng can send troops to attack Shangai County. β
Seeing that Lei Gong could not be persuaded by Fuyun, he could only sigh deeply.
The night was thick and pitch black. Fuyun quietly left the camp with dozens of cronies and ran south.
In the early morning of the second day, Lei Gong saw that the clouds had gone, as if he had lost his backbone, and he didn't know what to do.
Yuan Shao in the army
Han Meng was shocked when he saw the messenger kneeling in front of him. "Tell the general, I was ordered to go to investigate the situation of the grain transport team, and eight miles north of Lieren County, I saw traces of burning grain and grass, as well as the corpses of many brothers of the grain transport army, so I hurried back to tell them."
Han Meng was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, so he could only weakly say to the messenger: "Go down." β
When the army commander Shi Xinbi learned of this, he said to Han Meng: "Don't worry, general, I have a plan, but I can retreat without fail." β
Han Meng saw that Changshi knew his thoughts, and said respectfully: "Changshi, please speak." β
Xin Bi straightened his waist and said: "There is still surplus food in our army, tell the Yellow Turban Army in the west, if you attack the city with us tomorrow, we will give them another 300 stone of grain and grass."
The general could only arrange for 2,000 men and horses to attack the city with the Yellow Turban Army, and wait for the Yellow Turban Army to engage the Fenwu Army in the city. The general can give the order to let my army retreat to Julu County and defend the city. I expected that the energy of the Fenwu army would be all on the Yellow Turban thieves, so I would not send cavalry to pursue our army.
Besides, even if there were cavalry chasing us, they would be stopped by the Yellow Turbans besieging the city, and by the time they eliminated the Yellow Turbans in pursuit of us, we would have already arrived at the county seat.
If the general is still not at ease, he can arrange for a Sima to lead more than 1,000 people to set up an ambush on the main road to block the cavalry. β
Han Meng said: "Changshi's plan is very good, so I will do it according to the meaning of Changshi." Then he sent someone to inform the Yellow Turban Army in the west.
Lei Gong in the Yellow Turban Army looked at Han Meng's subordinates who came to inform him, and said: "You go back and tell General Han that his great kindness and great virtue, I, Lei Gong, remember it, and I will personally lead people tomorrow to take Shangai County for him." β
The next day, Lei Gong led the remaining Yellow Turban elites, a total of more than 3,000 people, to attack Shangai County, and Han Mengfang also sent 2,000 soldiers to attack Shangai County.
An hour later, Han Meng's battalion slowly pulled up, and the soldiers besieging the city quickly withdrew from the battlefield, but Lei Gong did not know it, and still fought fiercely with the Fenwu army in the city.
By the time Lei Gong was reminded by his subordinates, it was too late. The Yellow Turban Army had already suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and Lei Gong shouted: "Retreat." β
Han Cheng said to his soldiers: "The whole army of the Qinglong Battalion is attacking, don't let this group of yellow turban thieves escape, and those who behead the thieves will be rewarded with ten taels of gold." β
Zhang He and Pan Feng took the lead, chasing towards Lei Gong, not more than two miles away, catching up with Lei Gong, two seven-grade fierce generals killed a five-grade thief, and within a round, Lei Gong was cut under the horse by Zhang He.
Zhang He ordered his own soldiers to carry Lei Gong's head and shouted: "Those who descend will not be killed." "So as to recruit this group of yellow turban thieves.
The pursuit lasted less than half an hour, ending with the death of Lei Gong and the surrender of more than 1,500 members of the Yellow Turban Army.
