Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 72 All-Out Counterattack
Under Hu Zhao's guidance, the Han army did not blindly climb the mountains and mountains, but followed the winding valley path all the way to the northwest, saving a lot of trouble. After two more days, the rangers who were exploring the road ahead came to report, and finally saw the plains beyond the mountains.
Standing awe-inspiring on the side of a mountain gap that only allows a horse to pass through, the power of nature can only be described as a miracle. This mouth out of the mountain is wonderful, from the outside it is just a mountain wall with no way out, but after a thousand twists and turns, it will be a different hole, who would have thought of it?
If it weren't for Hu Zhao pointing out this clear road, the army would only be afraid that it would be delayed in the mountains for a few more days, but this small victory is good, but it is too narrow, and in some places two people can't pass side by side, which greatly affects the speed of more than 10,000 Han troops out of the mountain.
"General! Checkmate! A soldier came running profusely, and he said with a bitter face: "I'm in trouble!" ”
"Oh? Tell me about it! Nan Ying recognized him as the Sky Eye Warrior, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's the trouble?" ”
"The mountain road is too narrow, and even the war horses are a little difficult to pass by!" The warrior said with a sad face: "The elephants tamed by his subordinates can't get out!" ”
Nanying couldn't help but wonder, this kid has been in the limelight since he returned from elephant hunting that day, and he has been out of control every day, looking for wild elephants in the mountains every day. Although most of the elephants in Henan live in the dense forests on the plains, the mountains are quiet and have no natural enemies, and the elephants have gradually begun to migrate to the mountains.
Nanying patted the warrior on the shoulder and said, "That's no way, let's go back to the magnified elephants!" ”
"But, what a pity!" The warrior showed an exaggerated look like a knife, "Master once told his subordinates about the elephants in the Southern Barbarian Land, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity to see them!" I finally got a few heads today, but I want to throw them away in the blink of an eye! ”
"Huh? By the way, Yang Kun is indeed from the Southern Barbarians! Nan Ying's heart moved: "If there is a chance in the future, maybe we can organize a war elephant legion!" ”
Seeing that the warrior was still reluctant, he scolded with a smile: "Can the elephant still fly to the sky?" Sooner or later, it's ours! As long as you wipe out the Yellow Turban Army, this general will leave this task to you! ”
The warrior's eyes lit up, and he habitually said with both feet: "Yes! ”
An army of 17,000 suddenly appeared outside the mountainous area in the northwest of Jiaxian, and almost fainted to the ground without frightening the county commander of Jiaxian.
However, only half a day later, the county commander found out that this army was actually the main force of the Han army, and immediately lifted his spirits and went straight to the Han army camp at an incredible speed.
He not only sent a large amount of grain and grass to Nanying and Huangfu Song, but also brought a very bad news: Zhang Liang and Peng Tuo's army of nearly 30,000 troops had joined Zhang Mancheng's reinforcements, a total of about 55,000 men and horses, and was attacking Yingyang City, the ----destination of Nanying, with all their might.
"That's the way it is!" The county commander said with a wry smile: "Three days ago, Yingyang sent a messenger for help when the Yellow Turban Army was besieging the city, but although the Jiaxian County of Xiaguan has some grain and grass, it is only 3,000 defenders, but where can we send reinforcements?" ”
"Fortunately, God blesses you!" The county commander exhaled a long breath, "Just when the lower officials were hesitating left and right, several generals would actually lead the army of divine soldiers to descend from the sky, and now Zi Yingyang can be saved!" ”
"But I don't know who the Yingyang guard is now, and how many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" Nanying asked the question that all the generals were most concerned about, the enemy army had nearly 60,000 people, and its strength should not be underestimated. If Yingyang can break it with a snap of his fingers, then even if he sends troops to rescue, he is likely to fall into the poisonous plan of the enemy army to besiege the city and send reinforcements.
"Alas! Speaking of this, Xia Guan was also a little confused! The county commander paused and said: "The original Yingyang Ling, Lord Zhang, is also a close friend of the lower officials, but the scouts sent by the lower officials just came to report yesterday, and now the banner of the Han army on Yingyang City is a big 'Sun' character!" As for the soldiers and horses defending the city, I really don't know this! ”
"Sun?" Nan Ying and Huangfu Song glanced at each other and shook their heads.
"Oh no!" Chun Yuqiong's face turned blue in an instant: "It must be Sun Jian!" He didn't know that we had evacuated from the mountains, and if he continued to attack the Yellow Turbans from behind as originally planned, he would be completely isolated! ”
"Not bad!" Nanying also lost his voice and said: "We really damn it, we forgot our agreement with him!" Sun Jian must have been frustrated in the battle, and had to retreat into Yingyang City to defend it! ”
Huangfu Song's face also changed, if all the friendly troops who came to the aid were wiped out, I was afraid that he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. He said in a deep voice: "Please go back immediately to continue to strengthen the city defense and allocate grain and grass!" Ben and several generals are now going to transfer troops! ”
The heavy drum sound of "dong dong dong" resounded all over the hastily set up Han army camp, and both officers and non-commissioned officers were full of excitement and anticipation. The generals are beating drums and gathering generals, are they going to do it? Damn, although the few days in the mountains are still delicious, but this breath is really suffocated, the dignified king was forced to hide in the mountains by a group of thieves, if the general is out, I am afraid that I will lose face!
Because the original tents were cut into pieces of rainproof shelters, Huangfu Song simply set up the military council directly on the just-built general platform. On his left are Zhu Jun and Sima Zhi, on his right are Nan Ying and Gao Shun, and below him are a group of senior officers at the level of military Sima.
All the soldiers and junior officers had excited and curious looks on their faces. In order to save time, even the entire army was called up, and a large area stood neatly under the stage, and the army had to be immediately mobilized after the military discussion on the stage. Such a unique military discussion, if not to say the end, will be unprecedented!
"Now the situation is critical, Sima Sun Jian of the Zuo Army is besieged in Yingyang, and the 60,000 troops of Zhang Liang, Peng Tuo, and Zhang Mancheng are attacking day and night!" Huangfu Song's agitated voice came from afar, and even the thousands of Han soldiers closest to Jiangtai could hear it clearly, "According to the general's estimate, that Yingyang was originally only 4,000 defenders, plus Sun Jian's 4,000 Danyang soldiers were only 8,000, facing seven times the enemy, it must be precarious!" ”
"So Ben decided to immediately go to the rescue with a large army!" Huangfu Song shouted: "The general and the general Yingyang Zhonglang will each lead an army, and launch an attack from the west and south directions of Yingyang City, break the blockade of the Yellow Turban Thief Army in the city, and take the Zuojun Sima out of the city!" ”
"Do you have any objections?" Huangfu Song's gaze swept around.
"It's two people again! So which team is the main attacker and which team is feintting? Zhu Jun spoke first: "And how to deploy troops?" ”
"There is no main attack and feint attack, both teams are the main attack!" Huangfu Song waved his hand and said: "Make sure that the enemy army is difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real of our army, so that you can be more sure of rescuing the defenders in the city!" ”
"As for the deployment of troops!" He pondered for a while and said, "Maintain the status quo and divide the troops according to the previous front army and rear army!" ”
"No!" Nan Ying got up and said: "In that big water, many of the brothers of the front army sacrificed their lives heroically, so let's return General Zhu Jun's troops to the rear army!" ”
Zhu Jun saw the corner of Huangfu Song's mouth, and seemed to be about to refuse, so he quickly got up and said, "That's it!" Since Nanying Yang is sincere, this general will lead 2,000 men and horses to assist General Huangfu, and Zhang Jie will still lead 1,000 men and horses to listen to Nan Yingyang's dispatch! A few generals, I don't know what to do? ”
Huangfu Song nodded and did not speak. In fact, he also knows that Nanying and Zhu Jun are all good intentions, and now his subordinates are only 7,000 people, and the most elite Sanhe cavalry has lost their horses, and their combat power is not as good as ordinary infantry, on the other hand, Nanying not only still has 10,000 people, but also at least 1,000 war horses, and the combat power of the two armies before and after has been seriously unbalanced, and it is time to reallocate reasonably. He maintains the status quo, but his pride is troubled and he is unwilling to take the initiative to ask for help.
He thought about it, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, and said: "Then how about General Ben capture the South Gate, and General South attack the West Gate?" ”
He took the initiative to attack the South Gate, which was far away, but in fact, he was showing favor to the South Eagle in disguise, which was quite a bit of a reciprocation.
Nan Ying smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I know you are taking care of me." Because Simon is near, and most of my men have lost their horses, they are far less mobile than before! But this south gate, the general really has to fight! ”
"As for the speed of the march, please rest assured!" Nanying said proudly: "Cavalry is cavalry, even if there are no horses, they can run faster than infantry!" ”
"Oh? General Nan is determined to win the South Gate! Huangfu Song was a little depressed, the first time he sold a favor to this young man, but he hit a soft nail, "I was going to listen to your reasons!" ”
"I am a dignified eagle and a general of the South Eagle, of course, I can only hit the South Gate!" Nan Ying smiled and said, "Is this a reason?" ”
"Alright! The choice is yours! Huangfu Song was also refreshed, "Then the army is about to start, does General Nan have a correct axe for this use of troops?" ”
"Don't dare to be!" Nan Ying was slightly stunned, this Huangfu Song seemed to have changed his attitude towards himself after experiencing the mountains for a few days, and he said lightly: "Actually! The general's opinion is only a fraction of a centimeter different from the general's, so don't say it! ”
"Millimeter? Then there are still different opinions! Huangfu Song said happily: "General Nan doesn't have to be polite, just point it out!" ”
"No, no! Ben won't speak! Nan Ying waved his hands straight, "If you provoke the general's anger, you will hurt your and my harmony in vain!" ”
"How could Ben be so stingy? General Nan, it is about the success or failure of this battle, and it also involves the lives of the soldiers! Huangfu Song said unhappily: "How can you be so indiscriminate? Speak up! You and I have to think long-term! ”
"Then I really said it!" Nan Ying stared at Huangfu Song and said, "Promise me not to be angry first!" ”
Huangfu Song couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand angrily, and ignored him again.
"Alright! Since General Huangfu has an order, then the general will come to say a few words! Nan Ying slowly got up and walked straight to the general: "To be honest, General Huangfu is a famous general in the world, his overall deployment is quite accurate, and the general has no objections, but there is one detail in it, but the general will never dare to agree!" Dare to say it here! ”
When he said this, he turned around and arched his hand to Huangfu Song.
Nanying's voice was so loud that even the soldiers behind him could hear it clearly, and everyone kept craneing their necks to look at him.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also exchanged a suspicious look, what tricks is this kid playing, he has to go around in such a big circle? However, this kid seems to agree with Huangfu Song's overall plan, what are the details that make him feel like a fish in his throat, not vomiting and unhappy?
"The brethren must have been having a good time in the mountains these days, right?" What does Nanying's words mean that everyone is a little confused? However, many soldiers couldn't help but smile when they thought of eating fragrant game in the mountains every day.
"But Ben's heart has been blocked!" Nan Ying raised his voice and said, "The corpses of thousands of brothers are still soaking in the water, their heroic spirits are not far away, and it will be difficult to sleep at night!" ”
Everyone's eyes widened in unison, as if they understood what Nanying meant.
"General Huangfu wants to rescue Yingyang's brother, and Ben will agree! But Ben was not reconciled, just rescued them! Nan Ying looked apologetically at Huangfu Song: "The general is here to correct that our army's dispatch this time is not a rescue, but to annihilate the enemy!" ”
"What?" Everyone gasped, this appetite is too big! The Han army had just come out of danger, not only was it physically exhausted, but it also suffered a lot of equipment losses, how could it be possible to have the strength to launch a war of annihilation?
"Scared?" Nan Ying sneered: "Actually, what I'm afraid of is that it should be the Yellow Turban Army!" Their 90,000 troops did not dare to fight us head-on, so they could only use Yingshui to force us back in a despicable and shameless way! Now they have less than 60,000, and we have nearly 10,000 brothers in the city fighting side by side, are you afraid? ”
"Do you want to avenge the dead brothers?" Nanying's loud shout made all the soldiers feel excited, and they thought of that terrible night together, and the whites of their eyes instantly burst bloodshot.
"Yes!" I don't know who roared out first, and it quickly converged into a wave of shouts and tsunamis.
"Good! Since we all have this determination! Nanying laughed wildly and said, "Ben will also give you a reassurance!" Now that the thieves are all drowned, if our army suddenly appears behind them, guess they're going to be so scared that they lose their souls? ”
The soldiers burst out of laughter in unison, and even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun nodded involuntarily. This is indeed a great advantage, and if it is used well, it can indeed completely defeat the enemy army when it panics.
"Ben will know that some brothers have been holding a bad breath in their hearts, but the dignified royal master has been defeated in front of the thief army! It doesn't taste good, does it? It's the same with Ben! Nan Ying slowly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist: "The ancients have said that shame is followed by courage!" Brothers, shame is today! ”
Huang Fu Song heard the first half, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and when he heard the second half, he sighed lightly and couldn't speak.
"We escaped the flood and walked out of the mountains! It can be said that our lives are picked up! Nanying's roar resounded throughout the audience: "Now is the time for our army to fully counterattack!" Blood for blood, tooth for tooth! ”
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!" The madness of the soldiers was ignited at once, and the black-pressed weapons pointed straight into the sky like a dense forest. Not bad! This life is all picked up, what else is there to fear!
Huangfu Song stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and let out a heavy sigh again.
Zhu Jun whispered: "What? Isn't your heart happy? Never mind! Nanying Yang can also be regarded as a great favor for you, you see how high the morale is! ”
"Fart!" Huangfu Song leaned into his ear, gritted his teeth half-truthfully, and said, "What did he do to Ben General?" If it goes on like this, the general's military power will be snatched away by this shaft! ”
