Volume 1 and State Storm Chapter 32 The Momentum of the Horns
Cavalry against infantry, or elite cavalry against scattered infantry, the result can be imagined.
After Huang Zhong chased and killed the men and horses of the Qinglong Battalion, he did not return to Gaoyi County until he was tired.
Han Wu welcomed Huang Zhong and others into the city, and said to Huang Zhong and Fu Zhu: "Fu Changshi, Captain Huang, thanks to your arrival with the army, otherwise the people in Gaoyi County will be finished." ”
Huang Zhong replied: "This is what I should do, you have done a good job in leading the army to attack, and I will say a few kind words for you in front of the state pastor."
Han Wu was very happy in his heart, others may be polite when they say this, but Huang Zhong's character must be serious when he says this. Coupled with the relationship between Huang Zhong and Zhou Mu Han Cheng, with this sentence, there is hope for promotion in the future. Han Wu said with a happy face: "Captain Xie Huang cultivates. ”
Huang Zhong saw that he was happy, and he was in a good mood, and said happily: "Don't be anxious and happy, quickly send out a scout horse to find out the news of this group of Yellow Turban thieves, and dare to attack our Changshan County's idea, I will definitely wipe them all out to prevent future troubles." ”
Han Wu replied: "No." Then he turned around and arranged for the horse to inquire about the news.
In the early morning of the second day, Han Cheng led the army of the strong bow battalion to Gaoyi County, and saw that the leader of the Yellow Turban Army had fled, and his own casualties were not too many, and his anger disappeared a little.
Seeing that in this battle, more than 14,000 people were captured, and many of them dragged their families with their families, Han Cheng was quite happy.
That's a real population. Others may not have such a deep consciousness, but Han Cheng from later generations knows that war is the population. The war can only be carried out with the backing of a huge population base.
Suddenly, seeing that the Gaoyi County Commander was busy, but he couldn't deal with the extra 10,000 people, he made a mess everywhere, so he sent someone to inform Taishou Han Ye and let him personally arrange the more than 10,000 people.
Han Cheng also selected more than 2,000 of them as prisoners. Remove their weapons and build walls to punish them for their sins in besieging the city.
After the completion of the construction of the city wall, military training will be carried out, and those who pass the training will be added to the Fenwu army; Those who are not qualified join the county soldiers.
Treating these people, Han Cheng has lost his usual mercy, and must be treated strictly according to the standards of prisoners, who let them attack Gaoyi County?
Although they also have hardships and are forced, we cannot give up punishing them because they are forced.
Besides, the treatment of the prisoners by the Fenwu Army is not bad, at least three meals are full, and life is regular.
Soon after Han Cheng arrived, he heard the Malay report, "The Yellow Turban thieves who were besieging the city did not go far, and gathered twenty miles south of the city to rest. ”
When Han Cheng heard that the Yellow Turban Thief Army had not gone far, he was much more relieved, and it was good that he didn't leave.
If this group of thieves returns to Taihang Mountain, there is really no way to take them.
Since I didn't go, there are only two roads, one is to go northeast, go to Shangai County, take advantage of Yuan Shaojun to fight against him, and fish in troubled waters; The other way is to concentrate forces and flee west back to Taihang Mountain in one fell swoop.
Through Han Wu's experience of defending the city, Han Cheng felt that the Yellow Turban thieves chose the first way, and it was more likely that they would fish in troubled waters.
Han Cheng then ordered everyone to assemble.
The Fenwu army is well-trained, and it is neatly arranged in less than a dozen breaths.
Han Cheng didn't ink, and ordered: "Huang Zhong and Fu Zhi led two thousand soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion to chase westward, if this group of Yellow Turban thieves fled back to Taihang Mountain, stop them and prevent them from escaping;
If this group of Yellow Turbans fights our army, attack the Yellow Turbans from the enemy's left side.
Pan Feng led a thousand soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion to attack from the right side, if the Yellow Turban thieves fled east to Shangai County, do not fight against the Yellow Turban Army, just drive them to hurry up, let them come back after meeting Yuan Shaojun, and do not pursue.
The rest of the strongbow battalion formed a phalanx with me and slaughtered the enemy twenty miles away. ”
Twenty miles outside Gaoyi County, the Yellow Turban Army is stationed
Lei Gong said to Fuyun: "Brother, most of our 12,000 elites have already escaped, and now there are less than 3,000 people left, let's hurry back to Taihang Mountain." ”
Fuyun has always been cautious, and said to Lei Gong: "The Fenwu Army has cavalry, and the road back to Taihang Mountain from here is all flat land, although it is only less than thirty miles away, but I dare to guarantee that as long as we move, the cavalry of the Fenwu Army will inevitably chase after us, and when the time comes, we will become a live target, and the chance of escaping back to Taihang Mountain is not great." ”
Lei Gong looked anxious: "Brother, what should we do then?" You can't wait for death here in vain. ”
Fuyun said: "Before we attacked the city, I heard that Yuan Shao had also paid attention to Changshan County and sent a large army over. It is better for us to go the opposite way and flee eastward, and when we encounter Yuan Shaobu, we will keep our distance from them and show a trend of cornering. Jointly attacking Changshan County, the main energy of the Fenwu army will inevitably be on Yuan Shaojun, and when the two sides are fighting, we will lead the army to flee back to Taihang Mountain.
In the future, I will not pay attention to Changshan County, and it is better to go to the side of Shangdang County in the state. ”
Lei Gong said: "Brother is resourceful, I listen to brother." ”
At the sound of an order, the Yellow Turban Thief Army immediately opened up and slowly marched towards the east.
Han Cheng led the soldiers of the strong bow battalion, lined up in a phalanx, and chased towards the Yellow Turban Army, and after Tanma returned to the Yellow Turban Army to the east, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth. "Hmph, as I expected.
I don't believe that if you don't go back to Taihang Mountain and go west, I guess you want to flank us with Yuan Shaojun and see if you are fast or my war horse is fast. ”
said to the herald beside him: "You go and tell Pan Feng quickly, the cavalry is attacking." ”
He said to another herald: "Let Huang Zhong and Fu Zhu not have to attack from the left side, and lead the men and horses back quickly, I have other arrangements." ”
Under Shangai County, Han Meng got the news that Zhang He led 8,000 men and horses to support him, although he had an army of 15,000, but he wanted to take Shangai County, and he couldn't afford to pay the price.
The order given to him by the lord is not to let Han Cheng send troops, and he will exhaust his troops by attacking Shangai County, and he will not be able to complete the affairs of the main bus generation, and he will delay the big event.
Then the troops were stationed in Shangai County, and many scouts were sent to inquire about the news.
Within a moment, Tanma reported that a Yellow Turban army of more than 6,000 people was being chased by Han Cheng's cavalry ten miles away, and was rushing towards our camp.
"All troops on alert." Han Meng immediately made a decision and gave an order, "No matter who it is, as long as it enters the range of my camp, the archers will attack immediately." ”
Ten miles away from Han Meng's camp, Pan Feng's cavalry completed their task and stopped chasing.
Seeing that no one was chasing, the Yellow Turban Thieves also stopped and set up camp on the spot.
Han Cheng led the army to follow, above board, and entered Shangai County in a mighty manner.
Han Meng watched Han Cheng's army enter Shangai County, and his heart surged.
