Chapter 43 Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed
"Brothers, the opportunity for revenge has come, kill me!"
Liu Zheng didn't plan to talk nonsense with these officers and soldiers at all, and immediately ordered an attack after seeing Huang Zhong and Cai Mao appear here.
Hundreds of cavalry were the first to rush out.
Although these cavalry are Xu Huang and Pei Yuanshao, the cavalry that has just been formed, and even many of them have just been skilled in stabilizing on the war horse. But in the face of these officers and soldiers. The role of cavalry is still extremely huge.
Charging with Liu Zheng's infantry can increase their experience on the battlefield and quickly improve their combat capabilities.
An ambush battle broke out in an instant at this time. More than 30,000 people swarmed to kill the officers and soldiers.
Cai Mao's face was ugly, and her face was like ashes.
Originally, he thought that those yellow turban thieves were just some local chickens and dogs, and they could be easily tortured and killed. But when he met these Liu Zheng Yellow Turban thieves, he changed his opinion.
It turned out that there were also capable people among the Yellow Turban thieves, and they actually knew how to use serial schemes, and they made him fall for schemes one after another. It was also because he was too underestimated that he would suffer this great change.
It's too late to say anything now, and now there are only 4,000 people left around him, including Huang Zhong's men and horses, and there are at least 6,000 of these Yellow Turban thieves who rushed over, as well as some soldiers and horses hiding nearby, the number is still unknown, but the arrows that flew over told him that at least tens of thousands of people were hiding nearby.
The number of yellow turban thieves in this vicinity is several times that of these officers and soldiers. If he still had the heart to fight in peacetime, but now that he has been planning one after another, the morale of these officers and soldiers around him has long been exhausted.
Now that the morale has plummeted, there is no way to compete with these yellow turban thieves, and with a face-to-face contact, hundreds of cavalry on the other side rushed over, which made these officers and soldiers suffer heavy losses.
Coupled with the arrows that were shot at any time and anywhere, there were soon fewer and fewer officers and soldiers around Cai Mao, and there were only one or two thousand people left.
The threat of the official army became smaller and smaller, and Liu Zheng began to ponder at this time.
He looked at Xu Huang and Zhou Cang beside him, and immediately gave an order to the two of them.
"Brother Xu Huang, Brother Zhou Cang, the two of you go over immediately and capture that Cai Mao, remember not to hurt his life, you must capture him alive!"
When the battle was in a stalemate, Liu Zhen didn't want to continue fighting.
"Okay, Qu Shuai, I'll go over and capture Nasi!"
Xu Huang picked up the big axe and rushed towards Cai Mao, and the war horse rushed across the battlefield, immediately attracting several officers and soldiers around Cai Mao to come over to escort him.
But Xu Huang's strength is something that those pro-soldiers can stop.
Soon he had already killed Cai Mao's side, and the big axe slashed at Cai Mao viciously. Cai Mao can only use the long knife in his hand to deal with it.
But after two or three fights, Cai Mao has already fallen behind, and he is not at all inferior to the young and vigorous Xu Huang.
When Cai Mao was about to lose his hold, Huang Zhong realized Cai Mao's situation, and did not continue to fight with these Yellow Turban thieves at the moment, but rode a horse to support Cai Mao's side.
"General Cai Mao, don't panic, I'm here to help you!"
Huang Zhong did not use a longbow at this time, but held a long knife in one hand and slashed at Xu Huang with one sword.
Xu Huang was originally dealing with Cai Mao, and he played with ease, but Cai Mao was not Xu Huang's opponent at all.
But Huang Zhong's sudden attack made Xu Huang feel the pressure, and he immediately turned around and looked at Huang Zhong, using the long axe in his hand to block Huang Zhong's long knife and slash it.
With a crisp clang, the weapons of Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were intertwined, bursting out with fierce sparks, sizzling.
Both of them have relatively large strength, and as soon as they fight, they can feel the strength of the other party, which is not weak.
Especially Xu Huang, who suddenly communicated with a third-rate military general like Cai Mao, immediately transformed into a top military general like Huang Zhong the next moment.
The drop was too big, so Xu Huang didn't ease up for a while, and the strength in his hand intensified, making his physical exertion even greater.
Liu Zheng, who was in the distance, saw that Huang Zhong still went over to help Cai Mao, sighed, but he didn't panic, and immediately asked Pei Yuanshao, who was beside him, to come over to support.
In Liu Zheng's opinion, although Xu Huang's strength is good, and he is also ranked first among the generals in the Three Kingdoms, he is afraid that he is still a little worse when dealing with Huang Zhong.
After all, in history, when Huang Zhong really showed his might, he was already very old, and Huang Zhong, who was old and strong, was able to kill Xiahou Yuan alone, and now Huang Zhong is when he is young and vigorous, and his strength is even stronger and terrifying, but he can fight alone with Lu Bu and he will not fall behind.
There are many ways to stop Huang Zhong, but if you want not to hurt Huang Zhong, Liu Zheng can think of only one.
Mr. captured Cai Mao, and then used Cai Mao to persecute Huang Zhong!
Cai Mao's simple fight with Xu Huang just now was already scared into a cold sweat, although Xu Huang had already fought with Huang Zhong at this time, but Zhou Cang then arrived, took Xu Huang's place, and continued to fight with Cai Mao.
Cai Mao and Xu Huang are not opponents when they fight, but they are not so tricky when they fight with Zhou Cang, and they are barely able to fight with Zhou Cang.
The two are in the middle of the fight, and if they want to distinguish the winner and loser, it will not be able to tell for a while, but at this time, Pei Yuanshao's appearance immediately disintegrated the battle situation.
Pei Yuanshao had a steel knife in his hand, rode his horse to Cai Mao's side, and helped Zhou Cang suppress Cai Mao in three or two clicks.
The two worked together, and in just two or three rounds, they defeated Cai Mao, and the steel knife was on Cai Mao's neck.
Cai Mao was unable to fight again, and in the end he could only be captured.
Liu Zheng, who was not far away, saw that Cai Mao was finally captured, and the heart he had been carrying was finally let go.
He began to shout loudly at the battlefield.
"Your lord will be captured alive, and those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"
"Your lord will be captured alive, and those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"
"Your lord will be captured alive, and those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"
shouted three times in a row, and those officers and soldiers whose morale had already collapsed no longer had the heart to fight, and after seeing Cai Mao being caught, they wanted to survive.
Some of the timid ones have already knelt down directly.
After all, no one is really afraid of death, and no one wants to die if they can live.
In addition, they were shocked by the momentum of Liu Zheng's yellow turban thieves who didn't say a word and charged directly at the beginning, these officers and soldiers were able to surrender at this time, and they wished they could live.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Zheng's words were finished, a large number of officers and soldiers who were hula knelt down at this time and threw away the weapons in their hands.
Originally, there were a few people who had integrity and were unwilling to surrender, but after most of the men surrendered, they sighed and finally chose to surrender.
Only Huang Zhong was still fighting with Xu Huang, and it seemed that he had no intention of surrendering at all.
