Chapter 203: A Frontal Battle
"Soldiers, the breakthrough is at this moment, rush me, kill!"
"Kill!"
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"
"Kill! Kill these court lackeys! ”
"Kill all these dog officers and soldiers!"
At this time, Zhang Bao commanded his team of Yellow Turban soldiers to attack and kill the Dongda Camp on the eastern periphery of Quyang City.
These Yellow Turban tribes, like a tide, burst out with an extremely strong impact, all the way like a bamboo, straight into a military camp.
In an instant, the entire barracks were covered by them.
The shouts of killing, the screams of misery, completely broke the silence of the cold early morning.
Originally, the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City had been tense after the incessant attacks of the imperial officers and soldiers earlier. After that, because of the severe cold, the officers and soldiers of the court were temporarily exempted from fighting, and then, their nerves slowly relaxed.
However, the weather is very cold, and the food supply is indeed much less than before, so it can be said that it is difficult for them to really eat enough now. Coupled with some persuasion arrows that the imperial officers and soldiers shot into the city from time to time, as well as their internal reasons, etc., the morale of the Yellow Turban Army has actually been almost exhausted.
The news of the breakout was not only known to them when Zhang Bao temporarily led the army to break through. This news has long been circulated among the troops and horses of the Yellow Turban Army. It's just that Zhang Bao personally appeared to suppress those rumors of breaking through, so that these news were not openly disseminated, otherwise, the hearts of the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City would have been dispersed.
Those Yellow Turban Army who are still loyal to Zhang Bao actually only have a little bit of their awe of Zhang Bao, the local general. But in fact, no one is a stupid person, trapped in Quyang by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, they are ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, they all know that they will be dead sooner or later, so the idea of breaking through has long taken root in the hearts of each of them.
Of course, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court outside the city attacked urgently, and they all knew that if they left Quyang City, they would die faster when there was no city to defend in the wilderness. In this way, he had to obey the orders of the general of the land and desperately defend the city.
But what I want to say is that these soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, although they know that they will die, they are really not afraid of death. As early as when they rebelled, they had their heads on their belts.
In fact, it is also because they are not afraid of death that they will become so murderous and crazy.
Only if they are not afraid of death will they be fierce and ferocious.
But not being afraid of death doesn't mean they don't want to live.
Now, Zhang Bao suddenly told them that they were going to break through, which was equivalent to pouring a plate of water in a pot of boiling oil that seemed calm, and it exploded with a bang.
Breaking through, or there is still a glimmer of life, this also boosted the spirits of the already demoralized Yellow Turban soldiers.
After that, they sent the Yellow Turban Army Horses to attack the barracks of every court officer and soldier outside the city at night, creating chaos for the court officers and soldiers.
And Zhang Bao also made it clear that he had even moved out of the money that Zhang Bao left with him, and he distributed the money to the Yellow Turban soldiers below, telling them that if they have the ability to break through and escape the attack of the court officers and soldiers, then they can be free, they can take the money, whether they are incognito, or join other Yellow Turban tribesmen, anyway, they have to rely on themselves to break a way out.
Zhang Bao is like this, which can be regarded as an explanation to these Yellow Turban soldiers who follow him. It can be regarded as his last confession.
This group of Yellow Turban soldiers who caused chaos in the barracks of the imperial officers and soldiers is actually equivalent to dead soldiers. Not only did they have to raid the barracks, but they also had to clear the roads as much as possible so that most of them could rush out.
After that, it was the real majority of the army and horses led by Zhang Bao who broke through the city.
Quyang City has a total of more than 100,000 and 200,000 Yellow Turban troops. Of course, a lot of people died in battle some time ago, so there are less than 200,000 military horses. These military horses are not concentrated in one place, but they are divided into separate guards of the city wall. Heavy troops were placed within the gates.
And about one-third of these horses were Bitter's troops. In other words, Zhang Bao's men and horses are actually more than 100,000 people.
And because of the secret attraction of Zhang Niujiao and Huang Long and other Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, many people have already voted for others. Therefore, Zhang Bao can only command tens of thousands of horses at most.
And the main force that really broke through with him was actually only 30,000 horses.
The three major generals of the Yellow Turban Army, General Digong, in the end, can only order tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, and only this one person follows, which is really embarrassing.
However, Zhang Bao didn't feel anything. He already has the will to die, saying that he is breaking through, but he is just looking for death. Of course, he also hopes that even if he dies, he can fight his way out and let the subordinates below break through. Or, he hoped that he could effectively kill and injure more officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
Originally, the barracks of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were covered with some obstacles such as rejecting antlers, but now, they have all fallen into disarray, and they have been destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army, and they have opened a bloody road.
However, this is just the beginning.
The officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turban Army were naturally opposites and were mortal enemies of each other. This war has been fought until now, and there is indeed nothing to say to each other, and when they meet, they can only kill each other.
Huangfu Song is indeed a famous general in the early years of the Han Dynasty, and the most powerful general in the early days of the Three Kingdoms era. He is not in vain.
From the very beginning, he had long considered the strength of the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City, and if they wanted to break through, how they would block and destroy them.
Therefore, the barracks of the imperial court officers and soldiers around Quyang City were very cleverly arranged. Implicit in it is the formation.
In every military camp, there are not too many troops really garrisoned, especially those that are close to Quyang City. These barracks are usually just military camps for the officers and soldiers who go forward to attack the city to rest temporarily. Or a barracks stacked with some siege supplies.
Huangfu Song usually asked those soldiers in the military camp who were fixed to stay close to Quyang City, creating a sign that they were heavily guarded and had a large number of troops. After all, when their officers and soldiers attacked Quyang City, the military horses that went to the siege city all went out of these military camps. These can also be seen at a glance on the head of Quyang City.
In this way, it slowly gave the Yellow Turban soldiers in Quyang City a feeling. It turned out that there were so many imperial officers and soldiers stationed in the military camp in front, which made them dare not break through or attack the camp easily.
The real majority of the officers and soldiers will have their barracks on the periphery.
In addition, every military camp is closely linked to each other, and the officers and men in it can move freely and flexibly in peacetime, and can advance or retreat.
Now, the barracks of the imperial officers and soldiers attacked by the Yellow Turban Army are basically the ones closest to Quyang City.
Their initial offensive was indeed unstoppable, and they easily broke through and even captured some military camps. However, when the sky was not bright and the land was dark, shouting and killing everywhere, and there were many people, the Yellow Turban Army did not know how many officers and soldiers there were in these barracks. They will not know how many officers and soldiers they have killed by them in the barracks that they have captured along the way.
Anyway, it already gave them a feeling that the barracks of the imperial court officers and soldiers were nothing more than that. They were easily defeated. In this way, if the attack continues, then sooner or later they will be able to break through the blocking of officers and soldiers.
Of course, this is just an illusion.
At night, there may only be one or two hundred officers and soldiers in those barracks.
When the Yellow Turban Army broke through one or two military camps close to Quyang City. Huangfu Song had already assembled a force of officers and soldiers, including 2,000 cavalry.
Huangfu Song didn't sleep all night, but at the moment he was not a little tired, but seemed energetic.
He had his handsome flag unfurled, and he stood on the top of a small slope with a tall jujube red war horse.
looked at the Yellow Turban Army who rushed all the way to his eastern camp in the firelight, and looked at Zhang Bao under the command of General Digong. Huangfu Song's heart was hot.
Zhang Jiao was attacked by Lu Zhi's army, but he failed to destroy Zhang Jiao, and then replaced Dong Zhuo, but he also failed to make achievements. But after replacing him with Huangfu Song as the coach, he won successive battles and made great achievements.
If the three leaders of the Yellow Turban Army are all destroyed by him, then he can leave a strong mark in this history and go down in history.
Even people will always have pursuits, Huangfu Song may not like fame and fortune, but he cares about honor.
"Zhang Bao! Huangfu Song is here! Did the dog jump off the wall and want to run? Do you dare to come and fight with General Ben? ”
Zhang Bao was far away, heard someone shouting, and slashed an officer and soldier in front of him to the ground with a knife, and raised his head.
"Huangfu Song!" Zhang Bao's teeth tightened, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "After besieging General Ben for a long time, the siege was fruitless, why didn't I see you jump out to challenge General Ben?" Now that I think the general situation is in hand, do you dare to challenge General Ben? Okay, come on, let General Ben teach you martial arts! ”
Zhang Bao's faith collapsed, causing him to have nothing to love in life and bent on death. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't have hatred in his heart.
He hated Huangfu Song for killing his third brother, and hated Huangfu Song for trapping him in Quyang City.
Even, sometimes he blames the death of his eldest brother Zhang Jiao on Huangfu Song's head.
If he can kill Huangfu Song before he dies, and he can avenge his eldest brother and third brother, then he feels that even if he dies, it is worth it.
"As you wish, one of you and me will die today!"
Huangfu Song raised his spear and shouted to the left and right: "The left and right flanks are outflanked, and the cavalry will rush with the general, and Zhang Bao's men and horses will be scattered in chaos." The military horses assembled at the back were responsible for cleaning up the fleeing Yellow Turban bandits. Remember, no one is allowed to be released. ”
"Whoa!"
The generals on the left and right responded with a bang.
"Kill!"
Huangfu Song took the lead in Pegasus to kill the small soil slope, followed by the officers and soldiers who were waiting around him, and in an instant, he rushed down like a rolling torrent.
"All the Yellow Turban soldiers obey the order! This general went to fight with Huangfu Song, aiming to win or die. But with the general's flag here, it will definitely attract the attention of Huangfu Song and other officers and soldiers, if you are not willing to die with this general and break through from the front, then you can break through separately, and this general will definitely not blame you. So, from now on, let's go our separate ways. ”
Zhang Bao could see clearly at this time that he was fighting with the main force of Huangfu Song, and he was dead. And his breakthrough this time, although it is also said that it is also to break through to the west for the bitter cockroaches to contain the officers and soldiers, but if he can, he also hopes that his soldiers can break through.
In this way, Zhang Bao didn't want these military horses to follow him to fight to the death against Huangfu Song's main military horses. To break through the encirclement, it is the right thing to avoid the strong and attack the weak, and to rush all the way out of the encirclement of officers and soldiers.
However, these Yellow Turban soldiers who followed Zhang Bao out of the city did not hesitate at all, and shouted in unison: "Swear to follow General Digong to the death!" ”
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The blood is angry.
These Yellow Turban soldiers who have been able to follow them until now are basically Zhang Bao's diehards, at this time, how can they be willing to rush and flee alone?
"Good! Brothers, then let's be brothers again in the next life, kill! ”
Zhang Bao didn't say anything more, and patted the horse to face Huangfu Song and kill him.
Rumble!
The two military horses met on the flat ground in front of the small dirt slope, like two floods colliding together, and suddenly splashed with waves.
It's just that the waves are red, and they are the blood splashed by the soldiers on both sides.
At first, it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched, and they were fighting with each other.
But after a while, the situation tilted in favor of the officers and soldiers.
The weapons and equipment of the officers and soldiers are more sophisticated, and the ordinary soldiers have guard armor, but the yellow turban soldiers can have very few armor, generally leather armor, and even most of the yellow turban soldiers do not even have leather armor, and their bodies are just some thin and shabby clothes.
This is also the main reason why it is very difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to take advantage of officers and men in field battles, and it is also the reason why the ordinary Yellow Turban Army does not dare to fight field battles with officers and men until now.
The officers and soldiers had armor on their bodies to protect the main parts, and it was difficult for them to kill the officers and soldiers for a while. However, the counterattack of the officers and soldiers was stabbed to the flesh, and often, the Yellow Turban soldiers had to work together to kill a single officer and soldier.
In addition, Huangfu Song had already led 2,000 cavalry and clashes all the way into the crowd of the Yellow Turban Army.
The cavalry was originally the nemesis of the infantry, and with the powerful impact of the war horse, the ordinary infantry was simply unable to defeat it. Not to mention these Yellow Turban soldiers who don't have much protection.
The battle situation was unfavorable, and Zhang Bao's side had been closely following the three hundred warriors.
At this time, an unusually strong man shouted to Zhang Bao: "General Digong, officers and soldiers cavalry!" Do you want me to wait for the enemy? ”
"Nope! Your task is to kill Huangfu Song with General Ben! ”
Zhang Bao struggled to kill, but he didn't look back, and he only saw the emperor who killed in front of him.
This strong man is Zhang Bao's personal bodyguard, and he is also the commander of the Yellow Turban Force.
The three hundred yellow turban wrestlers are Zhang Bao's last hole cards, and he will definitely not use them easily until the last moment.
Because, they only have one chance to use it.
