Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 64 Yang Zhai Breaks Out
On a hill outside Yangzhai City, there was a sudden slight tremor among the dense trees.
"Something is really wrong!" Nan Ying retracted his head from the deep grass and handed the monocular to Gao Shun beside him, "Since the enemy army does not plan to retreat, why did it weaken Ximen's forces?" ”
"Be careful not to let the mirror reflect the light!" "The enemy can easily be spotted from a great distance," he advised. ”
"Yes! I know this! Gao Shun squinted his eyes and looked through the monocular, "This seems to be the enemy's deliberate flaw to lure the defenders in the city to break through!" If they do break through, are we going to take it? ”
"Of course!" Nan Ying nodded and said, "The Yellow Turban Army is not so kind, they must not be able to hold on, they want to use this opportunity to lure the defenders out of the city, and then set up an ambush and volley!" ”
"Then let's go back to arming up immediately!" Gao Shun said in a deep voice, "Although we have been beating the Yellow Turban Army from the periphery in the past few days, it is a pity that the defenders in the city do not know about this situation, and they are likely to break through at all costs!" ”
"Yes! What the? Oh no! Nanying suddenly raised the monocular like an electric shock, "How is this possible!" The Han army in the city has already rushed out! ”
Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "They must be out of food, and they have to break through as soon as possible!" Let's go back and organize the pickup! But from which direction? ”
Nanying muttered: "Judging from the map, only Yingyang is the closest in the vicinity, the city wall is high, and there is grain in stock, I believe that the Han army must have broken through to Yingyang in the south!" ”
"Big things are not good!" Qiang Tong's panicked voice sounded from behind, "Lord, the scout has just come to report, and a large number of enemy troops have appeared in the direction leading to Yingyang, about 30,000, and they are defending the danger!" ”
"What!" Nanying and Gao Shun were shocked, "How is this possible? Why are our scouts only now spotting the enemy? ”
"It's Yingshui!" The sweat on Gao Shun's forehead fell instantly, "We underestimated the enemy, only cared about reconnaissance on land, and ignored the possibility of the enemy using ships to smuggle troops behind us at night!" ”
"Huangfu Song has been tricked!" Nanying shouted, "You must do everything you can to stop them from retreating towards Yingyang!" Otherwise, they will be annihilated by the enemy's front and rear attacks! ”
About 15,000 Han troops from the west gate of Yang Zhai continued to kill out, although they have been fighting for many days, the military rations are almost exhausted, but the morale of the soldiers is still high, the combat power is still not to be underestimated, they quickly broke through the Yellow Turban Army in the west of the city, shouted and poured in, cut down when they saw people, and killed the Yellow Turban Army retreating one after another.
After Bocai's deliberate cuts, the Yellow Turban Army in the west of the city was about 12,000, which happened to be a number that was not easy to arouse suspicion and made the Han army think that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. In order to minimize the doubts of the Han army, the Yellow Turban Army reduced the offensive of the West Gate today, but deliberately strengthened the attack intensity of the East Gate, creating a false impression of concentrating superior forces and going all out to capture the East Gate.
The commander of the Han army, Huangfu Songnai, was a famous general who had experienced a hundred battles, and it was certainly impossible for him not to notice this change, and at the same time thought of the possibility of the enemy setting up an ambush. Unfortunately, he had no choice, the Han army in the city was about to run out of food, and unless he ordered to loot the rations of the people in the city, he could no longer support it.
When he had just discovered that the enemy's east gate had stopped attacking, but the west gate showed signs of mobilizing troops, he immediately ordered a breakout in desperation. At this time, the only way to fight was the courage of the Han army to break the cauldron and fight to the death, and the best fighter for the Yellow Turban Army to set up an ambush in a hurry and had no time to form an effective combat force.
In fact, Huangfu Song's decisiveness even surprised the Yellow Turban Army, the original 22,000 men and horses in the west of the city, suddenly siphoned off 10,000, and everyone was panicking, but the Han army in the city suddenly killed with superior forces, which made the situation even more one-sided.
The vanguard of the Han army has completed the chiseling, all the way out of the Yellow Turban Army camp in the west of the city, all the Han troops who broke through the encirclement cheered together, at this time, the Yellow Turban Army's first ambush finally came out.
Zhang Mancheng led 10,000 elites of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army to kill them, and directly blocked the Han army that had just rushed out of the camp.
To say that it is the elite of the Yellow Turban Army is not an exaggeration. In fact, at least one-third of the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops reached or even surpassed the combat strength of ordinary Han troops, and they were only far inferior to the Han army in terms of equipment and logistics. Some of Zhang Bao's main forces in Hebei are instructors trained by him, and there is no doubt about his combat power and loyalty. However, a considerable part of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang and Yingchuan is directly transformed from the county soldiers of the Han Army, which is the place where Taiping Dao has been preaching for many years, and its teachings are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is that at the beginning of the army, many Han troops threw themselves into the Yellow Turban Army, which is why the Yellow Turban Army is growing stronger and stronger, and the direct reason why the Han Army is not resisting effectively.
With the frustration of the breakthrough of the Han army's forward, the main force of the Han army quickly pushed up the only cavalry troops, and a young general led two thousand Sanhe knights under the banner of "Huangfu" to rush and kill, Zhang Mancheng's 10,000 infantry finally couldn't resist and retreated.
The Han army successfully slaughtered out of the camp, and there were still more than 13,000 people. The cavalry established a defensive line on all sides to cover the infantry to reline and clear the battlefield.
The young general rode up and said to an old general with a thin face and an ancient face: "Father! Although our army has successfully broken through, the thief army of the other three gates will soon hear the news, so let's leave quickly! ”
That veteran is the famous Xiliang general Huangfu Song, he said lightly: "Military Sima Huangfu Jianshou, this general has already said that there is no father and son in the army, and he must not commit it again in the future!" ”
The young general, Huangfu Jianshou, said solemnly: "The last general just forgot in a hurry, please forgive the general!" ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly said: "General, since you have been killed, why don't you evacuate as soon as possible!" ”
Huangfu Song raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Our army is breaking through, not fleeing, what are you panicking about?" ”
He shouted, "I will give you a moment to collect the wagons and horses, search for food, and treat the wounded!" ”
Huangfu Jianshou was still about to speak, but he heard a strong voice say: "Not bad! If our army wants to retreat to Yingyang, it will take at least two days on the way, and if there is not enough food for carriages, horses, and horses, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold out to Yingyang! ”
Huangfu Jianshou was stunned, turned around and said, "General Xie Zhu reminds that the last general will do it immediately!" ”
General Zhu was an old man of about fifty years old, his eyes were cold, and his appearance was majestic, he nodded and said: "Huangfu Sima Fang has just fought hard to break the enemy, and he is indeed a general, but he still needs to be thoughtful and not surprised, this is the way to general!" ”
Looking at the figure of Huangfu Jianshou in the distance, General Zhu smiled at Huangfu Song and said: "Brother Yizhen, Ling Lang's performance is remarkable, don't be too harsh!" ”
Huangfu Song smiled bitterly: "This stinky boy is impatient when he encounters trouble, and he only knows how to blindly rush and kill, how is it different from ordinary martial artists?" Brother Gongwei, you shouldn't help him speak! ”
That General Zhu is the deputy general of the Southern Route Army and the general of the Han Right Zhonglang Zhu Jun, he laughed and said: "You and I are both people who know the destiny of heaven, how many years can we fight?" Brother Yizhen's training in court is naturally understandable, but if there is chaos today, wouldn't it be better for them, the young heroes, to let go? ”
Huangfu Song sighed: "Let's talk about it if we can live!" I'm afraid that this time it's more auspicious! ”
He looked at Zhu Jun and frowned, "Didn't you say that there were at least two or three reinforcements?" Why hasn't it been seen so far? ”
Zhu Jun was silent, and only said after a while: "What if you come?" That cavalry captain Cao Cao is only 5,000 horses, and I heard that this person has never been in battle to lead the army, but I am afraid that it is unreliable! Sima Sun Jian of the Nazuo Army is a fierce general, but unfortunately there are only 3,000 people, and he still came from Huaisi from afar, and he can't solve the fire from far away! ”
Huangfu Song couldn't help but say, "Didn't you still send a letter to Lu Zhi asking for help?" What about the rescuers of man? ”
Zhu Jun nodded and said: "With Lu Zigan's personality, I believe he will definitely send troops generously, but the situation in Hebei has just stabilized, and Lu Zigan has a heavy army to surround Quyang, I'm afraid he won't be able to send too many reinforcements!" ”
"So, it's still up to us!" Huangfu Song sighed, he drew his sword and said, "Someone!" Ordered all the troops, with carts and horses loaded with the wounded and supplies in the center, the cavalry first, the infantry behind, and go all out to Yingyang! ”
As the brigade moved slowly, the Han army gradually increased the speed of the march, and the second ambush never appeared. Looking at Yang Zhai City, which was gradually moving away behind him, all the soldiers of the Han army exhaled lightly.
"Two generals!" A bloodied general galloped over, "Oh no! Yang Zhai has been captured! ”
"What! So fast! Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun shouted together.
Huangfu Song looked at the general in front of him, and saw that his face was still calm, and there was not much panic, so he couldn't help but secretly admire, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Ming, our army has just rushed out of the city, how could Yang Zhai fall immediately?" ”
Zhao Ming bowed and said: "The last general is responsible for the broken back, according to the last general left in the city to report, our army just rushed out of the west gate, the enemy army at the east gate has begun to attack the city, and now the east gate has been broken, and is opening from the city to the west gate!" ”
"Not good! Isn't our army suffering from the enemy? Huangfu Song blurted out, "The enemy army is moving faster than we imagined, they are really premeditated for a long time, not improvised!" ”
"Please rest assured, General!" Zhao Ming said calmly: "The last general has already ordered people to block the west gate with sand and stones, and the enemy army in the city is not to worry about for the time being!" ”
"You're decisive!" Zhu Jun smiled bitterly, "This also cuts off our last retreat, forcing us to fight our way out of the encirclement head-on!" ”
His face became heavy: "Judging from the actions of the enemy army, this Ximen is a flaw that they deliberately exposed, the purpose is to induce us to take the initiative to break through, and they will soon pounce behind us!" ”
"There is no turning back when you open the bow!" Huangfu Song said categorically, "Knowing that it is a plan, we can't help but break through, because staying in the city is also a dead end, and now there is only a decisive battle!" ”
Zhu Jun let out a long sigh and said, "I hope we can forcibly break through the blockade of the enemy army before the deployment is completed, as long as we can rush to Yingyang .........."
Suddenly, there was the sound of thunderous horses' hooves in front, and the front army of the Han army immediately became agitated.
Huangfu Song finally lost his color, and said in shock: "The enemy army actually has cavalry!" Fast! Quickly order Huangfu Jianshou to lead the Three Rivers cavalry to meet the attack! ”
Before the words fell, suddenly the soldiers in the distance cheered together, and Huangfu Song said in disbelief: "What the hell is going on?" Could it be a rescuer? ”
Zhu Jun also shook his head and said, "No!" As far as I know, the reinforcements of Cao Cao, the cavalry commander, and Sima Sun Jian, the auxiliary army, are mainly infantry, how can there be so many cavalry! ”
His eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be the fifth colonel of the Northern Army!" Did Lu Zigan save us? ”
Huangfu Jianshou hurriedly hit his horse and shouted: "The two generals of Qiqi can already see clearly that the other party is indeed the banner of the Han army, and the Han Eagle Yang Zhonglang will be the Southern Eagle!" ”
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun shouted together: "Is that the Nanying Yang who became famous in Hebei?" ”
Only Zhao Ming was shaken violently, and a look of ecstasy flashed on his face.
