Chapter 20 Schemes

Zhang Zhongjing finally chose to leave.

After all, he is just an ordinary person, although he also feels some dissatisfaction with the imperial court, but he will not really choose to join the Yellow Turban Army at this time.

Liu Zhengren took him to the people's living area to hide, and then took his own people and spent the night peacefully.

Early the next morning, he brought more than 4,000 of his own people to the north gate.

At this time, tens of thousands of troops had gathered at the North City Gate.

When the official army besieged the city, there were Bocai's people guarding here, and most of Bocai's men and horses arrived here to be responsible for the safety of the city wall.

In addition, this time, the deliberate attack on the official army out of the city, as well as many small groups attached to Bocai, came over one after another, so that more than 50,000 people have gathered here at the North City Gate.

Liu Zheng's troops are also among them, but although Liu Zheng is under the command of Bo Cai, he is not Bo Cai's cronies, and he is not in the core position, he is arranged in the rear, and after the first wave of elite men and horses leave the city, it will be Liu Zheng's turn.

Liu Zheng naturally has no opinion on this, after all, if he leaves the city later, he will be able to face the official army later, and once the fight starts, the chance of death and injury will be smaller.

The sky was gray, and the sky was just showing a touch of fish belly white.

Looking at the official camp in the distance from the city tower, it seems that there is no movement yet. At this point, the army should be resting.

Once the Yellow Turban Army launched a surprise attack on the official army, it was difficult for the other side to react in a short time, so that the Yellow Turban Army could take the lead.

As the city gate slowly opened, the soldiers and horses under Bo Cai's command began to gradually approach the official camp outside the city from the city.

Although it was approaching slowly, these officers and soldiers still discovered the movement of the Yellow Turban Army very early, after all, after besieging the city, the officers and soldiers would still send some soldiers and horses to pay attention to the dynamics in the city, and it was impossible for all the soldiers and horses to enter a state of rest.

Therefore, after most of the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army left the city, Bocai ordered a charge, and more than 30,000 advance troops launched a surprise attack on the official camp.

Kill!

In an instant, shouts of killing rang out. A large number of Yellow Turbans rushed to the champion camp.

Although Liu Zheng's men had not yet left the city, he also knew that the battle had already begun.

The official army camp outside the city is not far from Runan City, and with only half a burnt incense, the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses in the city have already killed the official army camp.

At this time, the official camp did not seem to have reacted, and there were no soldiers and horses in the big tent. The Yellow Turbans who rushed to the front had already crossed the arrow tower, after all, in the camp, they began to kill in all directions.

But when they entered the camp, they found that there was no one in the camp, except for the first few patrols, but it was full of straw.

Just these Yellow Turbans were surprised. On the flanks of the camp. Suddenly, a voice came.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The sound was thick and vicissitudes. An order was given, with an irresistible majesty.

In an instant, large arrows flew out from both sides.

The arrows landed in the camp of the officers and soldiers, and the camp full of straw turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

Those Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed into the camp only knew about the plan at this time!

"Hurry back! Hit the plan, the enemy has already laid an ambush! ”

"Oh no, it's on fire!"

"There are no officers and soldiers here, it's a trap!"

Countless arrows were launched and landed in this camp, burning the entire camp, and the Yellow Turban Army that rushed to the front did not have time to escape, and they were drowned by this sea of fire before they even had time to retreat.

The Yellow Turban Army, which followed behind, was able to react, but they didn't have time to escape, and their retreat was intercepted by a group of cavalry.

At this time, two small groups of cavalry came out from the north gate of Runan City, and immediately blocked the retreat of the Yellow Turban Army.

These two groups of cavalry were not many in number, they were only seven or eight hundred people, but they suddenly attacked from both sides, and the Yellow Turban Army that killed them was caught off guard, and directly blocked their retreat, and the entire Yellow Turban Army officers and soldiers immediately panicked.

After the cavalry appeared, not only did the fierce shouting and killing sound also come out, but on the battlefield, a large number of officers and soldiers appeared again, and the number definitely exceeded 20,000!

Bocai, who saw all this on the castle tower, was already dumbfounded.

"This ......"

Zhou Cang's face was ugly, and he hurriedly shouted at Bo Cai.

"Da Qu Shuai, we seem to have fallen for the trick!"

"This is impossible, our plan is so thorough, why can the other party know and be able to arrange it in advance to counter our trap!"

After Bo Cai saw this scene, he was a little distracted, and he didn't even have time to command these Yellow Turban troops to retreat.

This is the last Yellow Turban Army under his command, if even these Yellow Turban Army are defeated, Bo Cai will become a bare-bones commander, and he will no longer be able to compete with the official army.

"Zhou Cang, you go quickly, gather the soldiers and horses, and withdraw from the city first! You must not fight with the officers and soldiers outside the city, the strength of the opponent's cavalry is by no means something we can contend with, and only by defending the city can we fight! ”

"Yes, Da Qu Shuai, I'll go over now."

Zhou Cang quickly rushed down the city tower, and when he came to the city gate, he happened to see Liu Zheng's team.

"What happened to Brother Zhou Cang, why is the sound outside the city so noisy, and the appearance of firelight."

Zhou Cang was in a hurry, and he didn't have the heart to explain anything to Liu Zheng at this time, so he could only make a long story short. One sentence sums up the whole affair.

"Brother Liu Zheng, the big thing is not good, we have a plan, the official army set up an ambush outside the city, and the 30,000 vanguard troops sent out by the commander of Bocai Qu are all surrounded by the official army, and they are in danger!"

After Zhou Cang finished speaking, he walked quickly outside the city, and as he walked, he threw a sentence at Liu Zheng.

"I was ordered to go over to support and minimize the losses of our army!"

The voice became smaller and smaller, and Liu Zheng watched Zhou Cang quickly walk out of Runan City.

Hit the trick! The officers and troops have already laid an ambush!

As soon as these words came into Liu Zheng's ears, they immediately made Liu Zheng's expression ugly.

He was horrified, but he immediately climbed to the top of the castle tower to see what was now outside the city.

After a few steps, I climbed the tower and saw the situation outside the city, the fire was soaring, the sky was full of dust, and two groups of officers and cavalry rushed from the flank, and these officers and soldiers did not fight the Yellow Turban Army at all.

It was only used for charging, charging back and forth, with the purpose of preventing these Yellow Turban soldiers from escaping back to the city.

The Yellow Turban Army, which was cut off from retreat, could only fight with the officers and troops who were surrounded by the periphery, but because of the plan, the morale plummeted, and where was the opponent of the officers and troops at this time.

The battle was completely one-sided, and in a short time, the Yellow Turbans suffered heavy casualties.
