Chapter 7: The Battle of Chosha (2)

While the South Gate repelled the Yellow Turban Bandits, the battles at the North, East and West Gates also ended one after another.

The siege of the Yellow Turban Bandits ended in failure.

Seeing that he failed to defeat the Changshe, Bocai was not discouraged, because his military advantage was still very huge, even if these people were not strong in individual combat ability, they were enough to fight with well-trained officers and soldiers when they got together.

After repairing all night, Bo Cai once again let the generals of the four gates continue to attack Changshe City.

After Yang Sen, the Yellow Turban general outside the south gate, received the order, he continued to attack the city without delay.

Zhu Jun, who was defending the city, also followed the commander's army to defend the city.

Wang Kai rested for the night, and his strength had recovered.

In the face of the second wave of the Yellow Turban Bandit's attack, Wang Kai skillfully picked up his spear and began to kill the enemy, while Qin Qiong once again defended a large area with the strength of one person.

After a long attack, the sky became dark again, and Yang Sen had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

On the third day, the siege momentum of the Yellow Turban Bandits weakened even more, because these Yellow Turban Bandits who took up arms and rebelled were not professional soldiers, and they began to relax when they saw that the garrison of the official army was very tenacious.

In the following time, the Yellow Turban Bandits attacked for half a month, and in the end, it was difficult to even get close to the city wall, because these rebellious Yellow Turban Bandits had no intention of fighting again.

After Qu Shuaibo saw that the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command were war-weary, he had to order to stop the siege, because if he insisted on going his own way, he was afraid that these Yellow Turban soldiers would suddenly fall apart.

Although the siege was stopped, Bo Cai still asked the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command to surround Changshe City, because if he surrounded the main force of the official army, the Yellow Turban Army in other places could act more freely.

Besides, when Huangfu Song in Changshe City saw that the Yellow Turban Thieves were no longer attacking the city but besieging the Changshe City on the city tower, he said to Zhu Jun beside him worriedly: "Gongwei, the Yellow Turban Thieves are surrounding our army, but I am afraid that the people in other places will suffer." ”

"Yizhen, the gap between our strength and the Yellow Turban Bandits is too big, even if we break through, we can't save those people, and now we can only hope that the local wealthy clan can recruit troops to protect themselves." Hearing this, Huangfu Song sighed again and again.

At the same time, Wang Kai also came to the city wall with Qin Qiong.

Looking at the Yellow Turban Camp that endlessly surrounded Changshe City, Wang Kai sighed: "When our army was trapped in Changshe City, presumably the people in other places must be living like a year!" ”

"Lord, the Yellow Turban is powerful, if it can be decided in a battle, it will be able to save all the people from fire and water."

"It's a war to decide, I want to think about it."

'I remember that the Battle of Changshe was a victory of Huangfu Song's fire, and if I could find an opportunity to attack with fire, I would definitely be able to break the Yellow Turban. Thinking of this, Wang Kai said to Qin Qiong: "Shubao, do you think the fire attack on the Yellow Turban will work?" ”

"Fire attack?" Saying that, Qin Qiong turned his head and carefully observed the camp of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and then replied: "My lord, although the camp of the Yellow Turban Thieves is not particularly tight, it is very difficult to attack it with fire, because the distance between the Yellow Turban camps is not far or close, and even if it is attacked by fire, at most it will burn down a few tents." ”

After hearing Qin Qiong's words, Wang Kai was speechless, because his military level was not particularly high, and he could only be regarded as knowing a little fur.

At this moment, General Shi Zhangchao appeared behind Wang Kai and Qin Qiong and said loudly: "Fire attack? If the timing is right, it is a rare good strategy. ”

Suddenly hearing Zhang Chao's voice, Wang Kai and Qin Qiong immediately turned around and saluted Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao waved his hand, and then replied: "Xinhao, can there be a specific implementation plan for the fire attack plan you just said?" ”

"Back to Zhang Changshi, the distance between the Yellow Turban camps is just right, and it is difficult to get a good result from the fire attack at this time."

"I see! Then I'll make a note for the time being, and when the time comes, I'll make a statement to General Huangfu and General Zhu. ”

Hearing this, Wang Kai didn't know what to do, because he thought that Zhang Chao was preparing to make a statement to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in his own name, so that he would not be able to obtain military merits.

Besides, Zhang Chao saw that Wang Kai suddenly stopped talking, and then he remembered that he had something to find Wang Kai, so he continued: "Xinhao, I have some grain and grass accounts that I need you to help me deal with, so you can go with me." ”

After replying with a promise, Wang Kai followed Zhang Chao and left the city tower first, while Qin Qiong continued to stay on the city tower.

After helping Zhang Chao deal with the grain and grass accounts, Zhang Chao immediately asked Wang Kai to return to the city tower to continue to defend the city, because the soldiers in the city suffered a lot of casualties after the battle, and one more person to defend the city could make the city defense more stable.

The Bocai Department of the Yellow Turban Army and the main forces of the official army, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, were in a stalemate in Changshe City for another month and a half, and the weather turned hot and entered midsummer.

As the weather became hotter and hotter, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Thieves began to camp spontaneously.

At this time, Huangfu Song also summoned Zhu Jun, Zhang Chao and others to discuss a good strategy to break the enemy in the city, because they had been besieged in Changshe City for more than two months, and if they didn't find a way to break the Yellow Turban, they were afraid that what was waiting for them would be the end of dismissal.

After discussing for a while at the meeting, Zhang Chao suddenly said loudly: "General Huangfu, General Zhu, I know that one person has a strategy to break the yellow scarf." ”

"Oh? Who does Zhang Changshi want to recommend? Huangfu Song asked.

"General Hui Huangfu, this person is Wang Kai, a subordinate recruited by his subordinates."

"If this is the case, then pass Wang Kai into the court to discuss matters."

With Huangfu Song's order, there were soon guards to pass Wang Kai into the court.

Wang Kai learned that Huangfu Song had summoned him, and although he didn't know why, he still left with his guards.

Before leaving, Wang Kai asked Qin Qiong to stand by on the spot.

After following the guards into the lobby, I saw that the left Zhonglang general Huangfu Song, the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun, the general Shi Zhangchao, and the captains of the five schools of the Northern Army were all in the ranks.

Suddenly seeing his immediate bosses, Wang Kai did not show cowardice, because he had experienced the hardships of the battlefield and was fearless.

Seeing that Wang Kai was quite courageous, Huangfu Song immediately stroked his beard and asked, "You are Wang Kai, Zhang Changshi's subordinate officer?" ”

"If you return to General Huangfu, your subordinate is indeed Wang Kai."

"Very good, Zhang Changshi recommended you just now, saying that you have a strategy to break the yellow scarf, you can tell me about it!"

Seeing Huangfu Song say this, Wang Kai was stunned, because he didn't expect Zhang Chao to recommend him.

Wang Kai, who quickly came back to his senses, followed and said: "Back to General Huangfu's words, his subordinates believe that if they want to defeat the Yellow Turban Bandits, the only way to defeat the Yellow Turban Thieves is to use fire attack in one battle. ”

Hearing this, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun both pondered.

Immediately after, Huangfu Song said: "Pass my military order, and order the detective horse to go out of the city to find out the situation of the Yellow Turban camp." ”

After speaking, Huangfu Song said to Wang Kai again: "Wang Kai is it!" If you can break the yellow scarf, I will make it clear to Your Majesty, you should be the first to take the lead! ”

"General Huangfu is serious, and my merits are no less than those of the generals here."

Seeing that Wang Kai was very modest, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other and smiled, because they both felt that Wang Kai was a manufacturable material.
