Huangfu Song looked at the funnel upstairs, saw that it was already three o'clock, and saw that Captain Liu had finished the formation, and immediately ordered the drummer to beat the drum.

When Captain Liu heard the sound of drums, he waved his military flag and commanded the crowd to move forward slowly. Earlier, when Lu Zhi dug trenches and built walls, he did not surround the entire Guangzong City, after all, if he wanted to conquer the city, he still had to rely on the soldiers to attack, so some places were vacated for the soldiers to use in the siege of the city. Captain Liu's headquarters walked several miles, that is, to the empty space left by Lu Zhi, where the formation was suspended.

The Yellow Turban soldiers outside Guangzong had already heard the drums in the Han barracks and knew that they were about to attack, so they also sent thousands of people out of the camp early to treat each other outside the camp.

At this time, seeing that Captain Liu's headquarters stopped at the empty entrance, they did not stand in place and wait, but marched forward in line with the drums in the camp and greeted them. Not to mention anything else, only this active combat attitude is worthy of Huangfu Song and others to look at Guangzong Yellow Turban.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who left the camp moved forward, and Captain Liu's troops completed their reformation. Soon, the two men met in the gap between the trench and the wall.

Han camp in the army, above the watchtower.

Huangfu Song and others watched the two parts of the enemy and us.

The sect member said: "Although Guangzong is strong, it is not a big city, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang have tens of thousands, and there are almost more than 100,000 women, children, old and weak, and they can't live in the city, and most of them are in camps outside the city. General, in the coming day, the thieves will fight a decisive battle, as long as they can break through their camp outside the city, then it will be easy to take the city. ”

He successively fought with Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Liang, and was very familiar with the enemy situation inside and outside the city.

Huangfu Song thought so, and said with his chin bowed: "The king's words are very true. ”

While talking to the sect member, he looked into the distance, staring at Captain Liu's headquarters and the Yellow Turban soldiers who attacked.

Although it is far away from the Chinese army, several miles, but on top of the watchtower, it is a high and distant view, and it is a sunny day, and there are many soldiers and enemies, each with thousands of people, and you can see it clearly from a distance.

The sky is cloudless, and the sun is getting stronger. The two divisions of the enemy and us were engaged in the battlefield, first the drums in the Han barracks were loud, and then the drums in the Yellow Turban battalion were also excited. At this time, it was just after the hour.

The battle was fierce from the beginning, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who came out of the camp first launched an attack, sending about 1,000 people to violently attack Captain Liu's formation.

Since Captain Liu was able to be selected by Huangfu Song to take on the task of this exploratory attack, of course he has some talents, just like Yan Zhong said, he was born in Jiangmen and studied Sun Wu less, so although he ushered in the onslaught of the Yellow Turban Army as soon as he came up, he did not seem flustered, and while restraining the formation to hold on, he divided about hundreds of people and attacked from the left flank.

Dong Min, Tian Yi, Niu Fu, and Duan Xuan stood on the left hand side of Huangfu Song.

Duan Xuan nodded and said: "Captain Liu knows the soldiers, this formation welcomes the thieves, supplemented by the left flank attack, this is the way to use both the art of war." If the left flank can break into the formation of thieves, then the formation can enter immediately; If this formation can defeat the thieves in front of it, the left flank will be like a tiger. ”

As he spoke, the enemy and our soldiers on the battlefield several miles away were already in close combat.

More than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers shouted like crazy, did not tie their hair in a bun, only wiped their foreheads with yellow scarves, and smashed into Captain Liu's main formation with weapons scattered in their capes. Captain Liu fought in several counties from Huangfu Song, and was the captain of the five schools of the Northern Army with the most meritorious service, and he was also battle-hardened and had fought with the Yellow Turban Army many times, when he was outside Xihua City, Liu Pi and Wu Ba, the generals of the Yellow Turban in Runan, had also attacked the Han soldiers' positions like this, and it was not the first time that he and his subordinates had seen such a scene, and they were all able to stabilize their positions.

Niu Fu said "Huh", pointed to Guangzong City, and said, "Who are those two?" ”

Everyone's eyes left the battlefield, turned to look at the city, and saw that at some point, two people stood under the banner of the "Heavenly General" in the city.

I saw one man dressed in yellow and holding a long staff, and the other man in armor and a sword, standing at his side. Around the two of them were dozens of yellow turban Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai in armor and brocade clothes.

"General Tiangong" is Zhang Jiao's self-name. The so-called "Heavenly Gong" refers to about one refers to the "Yellow Sky", and the Huang Yue God who worships the Taiping Dao is the messenger of the Emperor of Heaven, and the other refers to the "Heavenly Rule" in the sentence "There is the rule of heaven, the rule of the earth, the rule of man, the three extremes, and then the rule of all things".

The so-called "general" means that his own position is respected, and the "generals" of the two Han Dynasty are not more widespread than later generations, and they are very noble, such as the main generals such as Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun who led the troops to the expedition this time, each commanding tens of thousands of troops, and the conquest party is just a "Zhonglang general". Zhang Jiao called himself General Tiangong, and called Zhang Bao the general of the earth, and Zhang Liang was the general of the human duke.

Dong Min said: "Wearing yellow clothes, holding a nine-section scepter, and surrounded by a group of yellow turban commanders, it is expected that it should be Zhang Jiao, the thief, as for the person wearing armor and a sword, it may be Zhang Liang." ”

In fact, the Han army did not know that Zhang Jiao had died of illness a few months ago, and he was not mourned. Now it's Zhang Liang looking for someone to pretend!

Changshi Liang Yan tried his best to look at it, but because he was far away, he still couldn't see the appearance of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang clearly. He said in his heart: "Yingchuan Bocai, He Man, Runan Peng Tuo, Gong Du, Liu Pi, Wu Ba, etc., Dongjun Bu Ji, only have strengths and weaknesses, people have advantages and disadvantages, but each has tens of thousands of troops, and a county is attacked, if it is not for the suppression of Huangfu Song, it is almost successful, and it is not a hero." Qu Shuai in various places in Taiping Road is already like this, and I don't know what kind of person this horn is? He preached early, I'm afraid he's 50 or 60 years old this year, right? ”

Zhang Jiao can have so many believers and get so many heroic allegiances from all over the world, he must have something extraordinary, but I don't know if it is eloquent and eloquent, or magnanimous, or eloquent, or graceful? Or is it both? There were a lot of rebellions between the two Han Dynasty scholars and Taoists, and it was possible to achieve such a large-scale, one person raised his arms, eight states responded, millions of people rose up, the states and counties were empty, and the court was shocked by only one Zhang Jiao.

Liang Yan was really curious about this person, and wanted to see him with his own eyes, looking at the city for a long time, and thought in his heart: "There is a big epidemic in the world, Zhang Jiao travels the world with a cane, is not afraid of dying of illness, and goes deep into the epidemic area, although his treatment is really nonsense, or maybe he had bad intentions at that time, but this act of risking his life to save the epidemic people is worthy of respect." ”

Huangfu Song only glanced at the city, then quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the battlefield again.

He has successively pacified the Yellow Turban Army in several counties in the two states, and captured hundreds of thousands, although Zhang Jiao is the leader, although the Jizhou Yellow Turban is brave, but now Guangzong is surrounded, they are just a caged rat in his eyes, he is very confident that Guangzong will be able to capture sooner or later. Guangzong only needs to be at his mercy, and Zhang Jiao is at his mercy. Because of this, he has little interest in Zhang Jiao now.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the enemy and us were entangled.

However, although Guangzong Yellow Turban is brave, he is obviously not good at arranging formations, and most of the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed into Captain Liu's formation only rely on personal martial arts, and many of them fight alone, and they do not cooperate with each other much. After withstanding the first wave of onslaught of the Yellow Turban Army, Liu's lieutenant department gradually had the spare strength to launch a counterattack while defending the position as the attack of the hundreds of people on the left flank worked.

Han soldiers in the army.

On the watchtower where Huangfu Song was, a Han army Sima pouted and said, "Guangzong Yellow Turban is nothing more than that!" ”

This Sima came with Huangfu Song. As soon as he said this, the faces of the sect members, Dong Min, Niu Fu and others were a little unbearable.

What does it mean to say "but so"? Isn't this ironic that the sect members, Dong Min and others can't even defeat such an ordinary enemy, and they have been fighting for a long time without success, and they have wasted food and salary? Dong Min, like Dong Zhuo, has lived in the north since he was a child, is good at riding and shooting, and has a reputation for bravery, so he can't stand the estimation of others, so he sneered and said: "I only hope that Sima can still say it later: Guangzong Yellow Turban is nothing more than that." ”

"What do you mean?"

Dong Min didn't answer him, and sneered: "Let's just watch the battle." ”

This Sima was inexplicable, and asked again and again, Dong Min just didn't say anything, and suddenly heard the cheers from several other watchtowers in the camp, and hurriedly turned his eyes to look at the middle of the formation, and saw that the left flank of Captain Liu's department successfully penetrated the rear formation of more than 1,000 yellow turbans that went out of the battle, and Captain Liu took the opportunity to beat the drum and wave the flag, and led more than 3,000 people in his own formation to attack it. Under the attack from both sides, these more than 1,000 yellow turbans could not resist, and they were defeated and retreated, and they were about to retreat to the front of the thousands of yellow turban soldiers lined up in front of the battalion.

This Sima was overjoyed and said: "The vanguard lost and retreated, but the main general of the thief army in front of the camp did not know how to avoid it, and was rushed by this defeated army, and the formation will be chaotic." If the formation is messed up, the thief will be defeated! ”

Dong Min snorted and ignored him.

Liang Yan knew that there must be something strange in this, so he watched the battlefield intently, and suddenly said in a low voice: "It's not good!" ”

Yan Zhong also said: "Captain Liu is afraid of defeat!" ”

Just now, Sima said that the Yellow Turban soldiers were defeated, but at this time, Yan Zhong said: Captain Liu will be defeated.
