"Bang!"

Chen Yucheng, who had retreated to the city, was unwilling, picked up the teapot on the side and fell heavily to the ground, and said with a pale face: "I didn't expect that high pet to be so powerful, but I miscalculated." ”

Wu Tianxi, who was on the side, touched his wound and said with palpitations: "This person's courage is only comparable to that of the Overlord of Chu!" Xiong Kuohai nodded in approval.

"What if that happens?" Bocai was worried.

"What are you afraid of, we rely on the city to hold on, no matter how brave he is, can he still break the city?" Chen Yucheng hated and said.

"Report, Qu Shuai, the Han army has all retreated." Just when Chen Yucheng was worried, the scout ran in and said breathlessly.

"What? Is this serious? Chen Yucheng was incredulous and asked, "Have you ever seen clearly?" ”

The scout swore and said: "Hui Qushuai, even if I give me 10,000 guts, I don't dare to talk nonsense, the small one can see clearly, the Han army has indeed retreated." ”

After listening to the scout's words, Chen Yucheng believed seven or eight points in his heart, but he was still a little unsure, after all, it was the Han army that had the advantage, so there was no reason to retreat first? It seems that the vast sea is even more confusing.

"Report ~ Qu Shuai, a war report from the north." Another scout sent in the news.

Chen Yucheng took the news, waved his hand, and said, "Go down!" ”

"Hahaha~" After Chen Yucheng read the battle report, he clapped his hands and laughed: "Why did I want the Han army to retreat?" Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say in this war report? After speaking, he handed the battle report in his hand to Xiong Kuohai and the others.

Xiong Kuohai took a look, and the rest of the people also stepped forward to take a look, while everyone watched, Chen Yucheng couldn't help but say: "The Han army in the north has been severely damaged by the great virtuous teacher Li Dingguo, the emperor Lao'er is afraid of death, and hurriedly transferred Huangfu Song's men and horses to fight the fire!" The more Chen Yucheng spoke, the more happy he felt in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing. It can be regarded as a bad breath in his heart.

After reading it, the generals were also overjoyed, and they talked about it.

"Who is this Li Dingguo, who can defeat Lu Zhi? Haven't heard of this person before? ”

"I only know that he is the newly adopted son of the great sage and good teacher, but I don't know anything else."

"Anyway, it's our people, not to mention that the Han army in front of us has also retreated. Thanks to the great sage and good teacher, Hongfu! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

……

At this time, Chen Yucheng stopped everyone's discussion and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, since the Han army has retreated, we should also think about the next step." ”

Fang Jie stepped forward and said with a murderous expression: "Qu Shuai, since we already know that the main force of Huangfu Song has already gone to support the northern battlefield, and what remains here is just a lone army, why don't we leave it completely, even if that high favor is brave, but we are too many of us, and we are not necessarily afraid of him." ”

"That's right, they must not have gone far now, they should be annihilated in one fell swoop, and Li Dingguo should not be allowed to be beautiful." The majestic sea echoed the road.

Chen Yucheng thought for a moment, then slapped his big hand, and said: "In this case, all the generals will go back and prepare, eat and drink enough, and after half an hour, all the people and horses will be ordered, and they will go out of the city in one sentence and eliminate Gao Yuan's department." ”

"The Last Will Do Duty"

……

Half an hour later, Chen Yucheng personally led the army in the center, Xiong Kuohai and others were separated on both sides, and 100,000 soldiers rushed towards Gaoyuan, and the dense crowd was like a tide.

"Huh~" When the army marched to Shekou, Chen Yucheng suddenly stopped his horse, and at the same time ordered the others to stop as well.

Everyone was confused by his actions, Fang Jie stepped forward and asked, "Qu Shuai, why don't you continue to chase?" ”

Chen Yucheng said in a deep voice: "You see that the two sides of this valley are towering into the clouds, but there is a narrow straight road in the middle. ”

Hearing this, all the generals were a little frightened, and looked at the terrain in front of them, and it was indeed as Chen Yucheng said. Xiong Kuohai said: "Qu Shuai, then do we still chase after us?" ”

"Chase!" Chen Yucheng gave an order, "However, first send a group of men and horses to explore the way ahead, I will lead a large army to take the rear, if there is an ambush, the two can also take care of each other and rely on each other." I wonder if the general is willing to go through this experience? ”

"The last will go." Before the words fell, Fang Jie volunteered and took the initiative to ask for help.

"Okay, if you can defeat the official army in this battle, General Fang should be the first to take the lead. In that case, I will go with your 5,000 troops to find the way. ”

"Command." After receiving the order, Fang Jie set out to Shekou with 5,000 men and horses, and along the way, Shangjie cautiously advanced, constantly sending scouts to probe ahead, returning every five miles to report, and at the same time sending archers to test the grass and dense forests on both sides of the valley. In this way, after walking cautiously for more than an hour, seeing that he was about to walk out of the valley, Fang Jie's tight string finally relaxed. A heart has finally been withdrawn into the stomach.

Fang Jie wiped the sweat left on his forehead because of nervousness, and ordered: "Tell Qu Shuai the news that our army has left the valley safely, and ask him to make peace with me at the rate of the army." "At the same time, let the others rest on the spot.

Chen Yucheng's main force in the back always kept a distance from Fang Jie, and sent spies from time to time to inquire about the situation of Fang Jie's department.

"Report, Leader Fang's department has passed through the valley safely, please hurry up to the rendezvous." There is a spy Pegasus to report.

"Okay." Chen Yucheng was overjoyed and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up the march. As a result, tens of thousands of troops poured into the narrow Shekou like a tide, and for a time the sound of people shouting and neighing horses echoed in this valley and soared into the sky.

But what Chen Yucheng didn't know was that just after the spy who reported the news left, Fang Jie's department had just rested for less than a moment before they were attacked by Gao Yuan.

It turned out that the ambush location discussed between Di Qing and Gao Yuan at that time was Shekou, but there was a disagreement on which area, Di Qing advocated setting up an ambush in the middle of Shekou, and when Chen Yucheng's army passed half of it, he would kill it in one fell swoop so that he could not connect head to tail, and he would definitely win. Di Qing's idea was recognized by most people.

After all, Gao Yuan came from later generations, and his thinking was different from that of ancient generals, and he believed that generals would be wary of some narrow and cramped terrain, especially Chen Yucheng was still a famous general in the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he was quite useful for soldiers. Therefore, the valley mouth with relatively open terrain was chosen, which could reduce Chen Yucheng's vigilance; Second, the army has just walked out of the valley, the people are tired, and the combat effectiveness will inevitably decline, and the attack can be miraculous.

Both of them were reasonable, and in the end, Di Qing compromised the plan, according to Gao Yuan, the army was in the valley mouth, and it could be achieved for a while, but after all, the Yellow Turban was overwhelmed and could not be completely victorious. So Di Qing proposed to divide the soldiers and horses into two parts, one ambush at the mouth of the valley, and the other in the valley, when the Yellow Turban army left the valley, attack in one fell swoop, and at the same time attack the Yellow Turban in the rear to cut off the retreat of the Yellow Turban.

Di Qing's suggestion was recognized by everyone, and Gao Yuan immediately ordered himself, Zhang Dingbian and Guan Sheng to lead 5,000 people to ambush in the valley, and Di Qing and Gao Zhong to lead the remaining 5,000 people to ambush in the valley. So there was a scene that had just happened.

Not long after Fang Jie just started to rest, he was caught off guard by Gao Yuan, who had been in ambush for a long time. The Yellow Turban soldiers sitting on the ground were shot like prey by the officers and soldiers who were lying in ambush here, and the dense rain of arrows harvested the lives of the Yellow Turban soldiers like cutting wheat, and many were crucified to the ground before they even had time to pick up arms.

In the chaos, Fang Jie shouted: "Don't mess up, meet the enemy, meet the enemy~" But it had little effect. The ambushed yellow turban fled in panic like a lost dog. Guan Sheng, who led the charge of the team, also spotted Fang Jie at this moment and vowed to cut off this head. Fang Jie had no choice but to engage in battle, which made the yellow turban even more chaotic, and for a while, the people turned on their backs, and more than half of the five thousand people were killed and wounded.

Chen Yucheng's side was not much better, as soon as he entered, he was turned on his back by countless people who fell from both sides of the rolling logs and stones, his head was broken and bleeding, and he was killed and injured countless times for a while.

"Whoosh~"

Every arrow, rolling log, and stone that fell inevitably took the lives of a group of yellow turbans, and blood soaked the land here.

"Kill~"

When the rain of arrows passed, thousands of Gao Yuan's troops rushed out under the leadership of Di Qing and Gao Chong, and launched another powerful blow to these yellow turbans who had lost their resistance.

"Ah~"

"Help~"

"Surrender!" The cries of killing and begging for mercy resounded throughout the valley.

Chen Yucheng rushed left and right to kill, his whole body was already stained red with blood, and a long knife had several gaps because of the fighting. With red eyes, he roared: "Now that I have fallen into a desperate situation, I can only survive by fighting to the death, everyone will rush to the valley with me to kill." With a finger of the long knife in his hand, he took the lead in rushing towards Taniguchi.

It seems that Xiong Kuohai, Wu Tianxi and others were already covered in blood and injured, and they led the people around them to follow Chen Yucheng to the valley.

The change in the Yellow Turban was seen by Di Qing, and immediately said to Gao Chong: "General Gao, the Yellow Turban is all heading towards the valley at this moment, and the pressure on General Gao Yuan's side has increased sharply, you quickly lead the men and horses to support, and this place will be handed over to me for the time being." ”

"Okay." Gao Pet is also simply, directly chasing after the yellow scarf, although most people go with Chen Yucheng, but there are always some people left behind, Bo Cai is one of the unlucky ghosts, when he saw Gao Pet chasing after him, desperately slapping the horse's buttocks, hoping to get rid of Gao Pet.

It backfired, and in less than a moment, Bo Cai was caught up by Gao Chong, stabbed under the horse with a shot and stabbed the head, Gao Chong picked Bo Cai's head with the tip of the gun, and shouted while chasing: "Those who descend will not die." Seeing that the Dao Gao was so brave, his own soldiers echoed and shouted: "Those who descend will not die." ”

Many yellow turbans were afraid of the bravery of the high pets, and they threw their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender. Gao Zhong didn't care about this, and continued to chase Chen Yucheng, and these troops were handed over to Di Qing to solve.

Taniguchi, Fang Jie at this moment is already in danger, not only his subordinates have suffered heavy losses, but even he himself is in danger, after continuous battles, Fang Jie slowly felt that his strength was exhausted, and the weapons in his hands were about to be unable to hold on, and at this moment he was holding on to it with his own breath.

Countless people and horses are fighting fiercely in this small valley mouth, showing the cruelty of war every moment, and many people will fall every second. Just when Fang Jie's troops were about to be wiped out, Chen Yucheng finally led the remaining men and horses to join Fang Jie after a fierce battle, Chen Yucheng shouted: "Life and death are at this moment, kill with me." ”

"Kill!"

The desperate Yellow Turban erupted with huge potential, and continued to impact the lofty formation with the momentum of mourning soldiers, and after a fierce battle, the Gao Yuan Army faced the Yellow Turban who did not want to die, and after resisting for a while, the formation was broken, the defense line was broken, and the road was taken.

Gao Yuan did not give the order to chase, and led the remaining men and horses to join Di Qing, and their losses in this battle were not small. Zhang Dingbian said to Zhang Dingbian beside him: "Immediately count the casualties, the army will rest for a while at this moment, and then make the next step in entering the city." ”

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Dingbian and Di Qing and others returned to Gao Yuan together, Zhang Dingbian said: "Big brother, we lost about 3,000 in this battle, and some brothers were injured. ”

"How's it going?"

Di Qing said: "In this battle, our army killed nearly 40,000 Yellow Turbans, captured more than 30,000 people, and killed the thief Shou Bocai, Chen Yucheng led the remnants of more than 30,000 people to escape. ”

"So much?" Gao Yuan was a little surprised.

Di Qing explained: "Although the number of yellow turbans is numerous, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people who really have combat effectiveness, and most of them are peasants who have taken a wooden stick to the battlefield, and the rest are more indiscriminate. ”

"General, what about the captives?" Di Qing asked a crucial question.

Gao Yuan was also thinking about this, "It's impossible to let it go, if you go back and then mix with the yellow scarf, wouldn't it be a waste of work; It's not appropriate to kill, after all, they are all Han families; The best way is to surrender, but these people are mixed, good and bad, and it takes a lot of effort. ”

"Where are these people now?" Takato asked.

"All the weapons have been surrendered, and they are all in the valley together." Di Qing said.

"Well, take all these people to the city first, and take care to calm their emotions and not provoke them to revolt. Of course, if there are those who want to make trouble, you don't have to be polite, one word, kill! In the end, Gao Yuan's face was murderous.

"Yes."

"By the way, report our battle report to the imperial court." Gao Yuan came and added.
