Chapter 338: The crooked attack is shifting the center of gravity

The 25,000 Yanmen cavalry, under the command of Qin Hao, decisively bypassed Kaifeng and went straight to Chen Liu, who was in the east.

Qin Hao ordered Yue Fei to lead 5,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard to open the way, and there were several county towns with few garrisons along the way, all of which were easily broken by Yue Fei and became a food and grass supply ground for the Yanmen cavalry.

The Lu Bu army in Kaifeng was shocked after receiving Qin Hao's order to abandon the battle plan and lead the army to Chenliu.

Liu Bei and Yu Juluo raised objections on the spot and resolutely opposed going to Chenliu, but they were forcibly suppressed by Lu Bu, the main general.

Although Lu Bu also felt that Qin Hao's move was too dangerous, he finally decided to believe Qin Hao in order to repay Qin Hao's trust in him.

Under the leadership of Lu Bu, the 20,000 Han cavalry coalition did not fight Huangchao as planned, but withdrew in time and went straight to Chenliu.

……

Kaifeng, Huangchao camp.

"What, Lu Bu didn't go into the ambush to persuade him, but instead led the army to stay in Chen?"

After getting the news, Huang Chao subconsciously raised his voice.

Qin Hao guessed right, what was waiting for him here in Kaifeng was not an army of 100,000, but an ambush circle composed of a full thirty troops, once Qin Hao really led the army to step in, it would definitely be a life of death.

The battle plan of the Yellow Turban this time was mainly based on Xiang Yu, and for this reason, Zhang Jiao did not hesitate to concentrate the elite of the whole army in Xiang Yu's army.

Even Zhu Wen, who was under Huang Chao, was temporarily transferred to Xiang Yu's command, which shows that the plan is very big, and it is by no means a Mengjin Pass that can be satisfied, and there must be follow-up plans.

And Huang Chao's mission this time is mainly to assist Xiang Yu, contain the Han cavalry, and prevent Xiang Yu from being recaptured by the Han cavalry when his foothold is not stable.

The difficulty of the task is not too high for Huang Chao, and Huang Chao naturally has more than that.

Before the surprise attack on the Tiger Prison, Huang Chao slammed Xiang Yu hard, but although he was angry, it caused Zhang Jiao's dissatisfaction.

Huang Chao's little action, how could Zhang Jiao, who was in control of Taipingwei, not know, although Zhang Jiao didn't say it, but he was very disappointed in Huang Chao in his heart.

After that, Zhang Jiao carried out a series of suppressions on Huang Chao, such as rising and descending, etc., which made Huang Chao panic.

Huang Chao didn't feel that it was his fault to pit Xiang Yu before, after all, it was Xiang Yu who was ready to calculate him first, Huang Chao was just fighting back, but who knew that it was self-defeating, but it caused Zhang Jiao's strong disgust.

A mistake made all the previous efforts go to waste, which made Huang Chao feel very angry.

Huang Chao is neither a disciple of Zhang Jiao nor the son-in-law of the Zhang family, and the reason why he was selected as the successor by Zhang Jiao is because of his merits.

The Yellow Turban's military program, strategic planning, etc., were all drafted by Huang Chao, and it is with these merits that Huang Chao can get Zhang Jiao's favor above the Zhongqu Shuai.

However, in the previous battle of Yanzhou, Huang Chao was defeated by Lu Zhi and Cao Cao, and his prestige was not as good as before, and now, now it is even more dissatisfied with Zhang Jiao, which makes Huang Chao's future life extremely difficult.

Huang Chao knew that he couldn't be silent any longer, Qin Hao's 50,000 iron horses were a great achievement that could get him out of trouble.

Zhang Jiao's order to Huang Chao was just to drag the Han cavalry, after all, the combat power of the Han cavalry is obvious to all, even if the Yellow Turban really wants to be wiped out, I am afraid that the casualties will not be small at this time.

However, in Huang Chao's eyes, as long as he commanded properly, he would definitely be able to completely annihilate these 50,000 Han cavalry with very small losses.

The merit of eliminating 50,000 Han cavalry is no less than the elimination of 200,000 Han troops, although it still can't be compared to Xiang Yu's plan, but at least it narrows the gap.

If Xiang Yu really completes that plan, and Huang Chao himself does nothing, then there will be no more chance.

Huang Chao assured Zhang Jiao with his life, and finally got permission to transfer troops.

In order to ensure that Qin Hao's 50,000 cavalry could be completely annihilated, Huang Chao transferred all the 200,000 troops around Chen Liu, and set up an ambush circle with a total of 300,000 troops.

Huang Chao was gambling with his future, betting that this battle could be won, but he never thought that Qin Hao would play his cards so unreasonably.

He set up a feast of 300,000 troops, and when the war started, Qin Hao actually led the army and ran away, and he also stayed in Chen.

Chen Liu is not only the base camp of the Yellow Turban, but also one of the largest grain depots, once it is broken by Qin Hao, the consequences are unimaginable.

In such an important place, it stands to reason that it is impossible to be slack in defense, but in order to completely annihilate Qin Hao's 50,000 army, Chen Liu's garrison was also mobilized by Huang Chao, and now there are only 40,000 defenders left.

Now Chen Liu's garrison is unprecedentedly weak, and Qin Hao is attacking crookedly, just hitting the key point of Huang Chao, once Chen Liu is broken by Qin Hao, then Huang Chao will become the sinner of the Yellow Turban.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, Huang Chao forced himself to calm down quickly, and after communicating the key to it, he hurriedly gave an order.

"Pass the order and order the defenders of the surrounding counties of Chenliu to abandon the local area and concentrate on Chenliu to defend to the death."

The Yellow Turbans built five large grain depots in Yanzhou, and Chen Liucheng was the largest.

In Huang Chao's view, as long as Chen Liucheng is not lost, it doesn't matter if other surrounding counties are lost.

As soon as he thought that Qin Hao's 50,000 Han cavalry was about to wreak havoc in Yanzhou, Huang Chao had a headache, even if Yanzhou's Yellow Turban troops were strong, they had to catch up.

Huangchao can rely on its huge advantage to build a large encirclement first and then continue to shrink, so as to completely annihilate the Han army.

But such a large deployment of troops also takes time, and who knows what will be sent during this time?

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Chao immediately ordered again.

"Immediately send a request for cavalry for help to the Tiger Prison, saying that Ben will need 10,000, no, I want all the cavalry, which will be used in Chenliu to intercept and annihilate all the Han cavalry."

Only the cavalry caught up with the cavalry, and until now, Huang Chao did not give up the idea of annihilating 50,000 cavalry.

Huang Chao is not afraid that the Tiger Prison will not give him surprise support, after all, Qin Hao is wreaking havoc in Yanzhou, and the impact is not only on him Huang Chao.

Huang Chao was afraid that the number of cavalry supported by the Tiger Prison Pass would not be able to stop the Han cavalry.

Huang Chao didn't know Xiang Yu's specific plan, but he knew that this plan required a large number of cavalry.

The Yellow Turban only has a total of 50,000 cavalry, and if Xiang Yu's demand for cavalry is too great, there will not be too many cavalry to support his Yellow Nest.

Of course, these are not things that Huang Chao can consider now, the only thing he can do now is to intercept Qin Hao with all his might.

…………

Just when Huang Chao was annoyed by Qin Hao's affairs, the Luoyang Imperial Court also exploded because of Xiang Yu.

Mengjin Pass was captured by Xiang Yu, which means that between Luoyang and the Yellow Turban, there is only a small Pingjin left.

Although Xiao Pingjin has a small character, it is actually not small at all, but this does not bring enough security to the Luoyang Imperial Court.

The Yellow Turbans have not been able to transport enough troops to take Mengjin Pass for a short time, so the Han family still has a chance to recapture Mengjin Pass.

The Luoyang court made up its mind that Mengjin Pass must be recaptured, and finally the general He Jin led an army of 300,000 to recapture Mengjin Pass with all his might.

The focus of the duel between the Yellow Turban and the Han Dynasty has also shifted from Tiger Prison Pass to Mengjin Pass.
