Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 73 The Battle of Yingyang
The boundless yellow torrent was like an ant colony, slowly but surely inching towards the head of Yingyang City.
On the head of the city, under the broken banner of the word "Sun", a bloodied ironclad general is like a mad tiger's stubborn resistance, he holds a shield in his left hand, a knife in his right hand, high on the battlements, the cold lightning in his hand, the attacking Yellow Turban Army is constantly splashed with blood and falls down the city, so far no enemy can stop his sword.
The invincible heroism of the main general was obviously deeply infected by the Han soldiers around him, who burst out with bursts of cheers from time to time, and sent the weapons in their hands into the vital places of the enemy army with angry eyes, and then pulled them back vigorously, fully enjoying the blood surging brought by the blood feast.
A Han soldier had just stomped an enemy soldier who had emerged from behind the battlements into the city, and suddenly his chest and abdomen were cold at the same time, and the enemy soldiers on the left and right stabbed long knives into his body.
The spear is like a poisonous snake out of the hole, piercing the shoulder of a Han soldier, the spear-holding Yellow Turban Army is obviously extraordinary, not an ordinary pawn, he sneered and exerted force in his hand, pushed the Han Army backwards, the Han Army roared, one hand held the spear shaft outside the wound, and the long knife in the other hand did not hesitate to cut down, and the spear shaft was broken into two, the Yellow Turban Army was light in his hand, and was shocked and wanted to retreat, the Han Army swept with a knife, and fell down with laughter. The blood on the neck of the Yellow Turban Army was surging wildly, and the "Gege" sound in his mouth was continuous, and he also fell to the ground.
Under this violent and ferocious stubborn resistance, the Yellow Turban Army finally couldn't stand it, leaving corpses all over the city, retreating like a tide.
The ironclad general raised his head, the dazzling sunlight sprinkled all over his body, like a god general in golden helmets and golden armor, he stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, revealing a heroic and resolute face, and said with a long smile: "Happy, happy!" ”
He suddenly shouted violently to the Yellow Turban Army who retreated into the distance: "Sun Jian and Sun Wentai are here!" Don't be afraid of death, just come up! ”
A Han soldier beside him also shouted: "But don't kill or bury!" Hahaha! ”
When he landed, the sound of the Han army's wild laughter at the head of the city resounded in the sky.
The officers and men of the Yellow Turban Army in the distance saw this scene, and they all lost their color.
The ironclad general was none other than Sun Jian, a descendant of Sun Wu and a descendant of the Zuojun, and he laughed and patted the soldier at the interface and said, "Good boy! It's better than what Lao Tzu said! ”
The soldier smiled shyly and said, "What are your subordinates?" It's all relying on Sima's tiger might! ”
Another soldier shouted: "Exactly! Lord Sima is full of guts, and after this war, the court should also promote Sima to the captain, and the name will be Huwei Captain! ”
"Hugh is nonsense!" Sun Jian said solemnly: "I heard that the court has just promoted a lieutenant with the name of Huwei, it is a bit rude for you to talk about it like this!" ”
"I see!" Several soldiers stuck out their tongues, and one of them said unconvinced: "I don't believe that person can be more brave than Sima!" Don't spend money on it, do you? ”
Seeing Sun Jian's eyes glaring, he hurriedly changed his words: "Lord Sima, we have been holding on for several days, why don't we see a single soldier come to the rescue?" No one cares about us anymore! ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Who said there were no reinforcements! Sun Jian was upset for a while, and shouted: "How can you shake the army's heart with nonsense here? ”
"The last general thinks he's not wrong!" A rough voice rumbled from behind like thunder, "The general listened to Chun Yuqiong's advice and launched a surprise attack from behind the enemy, but what about the men and horses in the north?" On the contrary, we were forced into Yingyang by 60,000 enemy troops! ”
Sun Jian turned around and said with a wry smile: "Public! How did you come from the East Gate? What is the situation at the north gate of Demou? ”
The rough man who spoke out was Lingling Huang Gai, and he arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, the last general and the east and north gates defended by Demou are no problem, and the enemy army has been repulsed!" The casualties are not large! ”
Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he heard the yellow cover say in a deep voice: "General, the last general suggested that you should break through as soon as possible, otherwise the brothers will end up with hatred if they continue to defend like this!" ”
Sun Jian's heart sank again, how could even Huang Gai, who has always been conceited with bravery, say something to break through? He forced a smile and said: "The public has thought too much, and the general is only afraid that all the reinforcements are on the way here, and soon the battle situation will take a turn for the better, and our army will ......... at that time."
"General! You're so loyal! Huang Gai's face sank like water: "Do you think that everyone else is a hero who is as anxious for justice and righteousness as you?" The last general is worried that some people will not be saved at all! ”
Huang Gai's words smashed into Sun Jian's heart like a hammer, he couldn't help but change his complexion, and was about to reprimand, but he heard a Han soldier shouting: "It's not good! Why did the Yellow Turban Army rush up again so quickly! ”
Sun Jian didn't have time to say more, and shouted: "All prepare for war!" ”
Just ten miles away from the south gate defended by Sun Jian, a large dense forest was crowded with black and oppressive Han soldiers, at least a few thousand.
A stout general was looking through the gap in the trees, his slender eyes flashing with anxiety, he suddenly shook his whole body, and blurted out: "The Yellow Turban Army has launched an offensive again!" We can't wait any longer! ”
"Wait, Captain!" An officer stretched out his hand to stop him, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Nonsense! Of course, it's time to send troops to the rescue! The cavalry captain's slender eyes widened, "Sun Wentai, a hero of the world, and a famous fierce general in the Han army, how could this general let him fight a strong enemy alone?" ”
"So the general has come up with a strategy to break the enemy?" The officer was neither humble nor arrogant: "Please make detailed arrangements first!" ”
The cavalry lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Saving people is like fighting fire, where is there time to deploy again!" Rush up and join forces with them to fight the enemy first! ”
"Please forgive the captain, your military order will not be agreed!" The officer said lightly: "Our army is only 4,000 people, and the Sima Suo department in the city is only more than 10,000 people, how can we fight with 50,000 enemy troops?" Even if you rush up, it will only send a few thousand more besieged soldiers and horses to the city! ”
"You!" The cavalry captain's eyes were blazing with anger, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "However, our army has been more than two hours, but it has always stood by and watched, watching the friendly army fight alone, this is too cowardly!" ”
He slammed his hand and said, "Ben will not be so timid!" ”
"Captain Rongyu, your courage has always been deeply admired, when you were the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, you dared to beat to death the uncle of the Chinese and Korean officials!" The officer's words made the cavalry captain's face soften, and he calmed down and listened to him continue: "But now the situation is too critical, our army can be said to be the only turning point for the soldiers and horses in the city, if there is no certainty of victory, we must not sacrifice in vain!" What our army can do now is to wait and see the battle situation and wait for the opportunity! ”
"Alas! Bao Xin, what you said is not wrong! The captain's face changed again and again, and finally he let out a long sigh: "It's Ben who is too anxious!" ”
"The general is leading his troops into battle for the first time, and he must judge the situation and stay calm! This is the advice of the last general as a lieutenant! Bao Xin said softly: "If you make a big mistake and lead to the defeat of the army, it will have an immeasurable impact on the general's future career!" This is the advice of the last general as a friend! ”
"Thank you!" A look of gratitude flashed in the eyes of the cavalry captain, and he suddenly sat on the ground like a deflated ball, and said lamentingly: "Could it be that my Cao Cao's first battle will be such a sloppy battle!" I'm really unwilling! ”
The Yellow Turban Army seems to be determined to capture Yingyang today, and they uncharacteristically launched three waves of offensive in a row, one wave more fierce than one wave, and even stopped the attack on the rest of the gates, and concentrated most of their troops on the front line of the south gate, and took turns to attack the city without fear of death.
In the face of the powerful offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, Sun Jian's Danyang elite soldiers broke out with a stronger fighting spirit, and they carried out a resolute counterattack, and the battle situation instantly entered a white heat, and blood was sprinkled all over every inch of land above and below the city.
After nearly four hours of fierce fighting, the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses, and they paid at least 13,000 lives, but still did not tear through the Han army's defense. However, with the last fresh force of the Yellow Turban Army joining the battle group, the balance of victory gradually tilted in favor of the Yellow Turban Army, this reserve force was completely composed of the original Han soldiers under Zhang Mancheng's department, at least 5,000 people, their combat strength was not worse than the Danyang soldiers, especially when the Han army fought hard for half a day and their physical strength was lost.
Sun Jian only felt that the long knife in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and several times he almost flew out of his hand when he collided with the enemy's weapons, and the figure of the enemy in his eyes was also blurred. He knew that this was due to the heavy exertion of physical strength and the constant loss of blood from several wounds on his body. But he couldn't retreat, he couldn't fall, and he couldn't even show any signs of cowardice, because all the Han soldiers were silently watching him, and as soon as he fell, all the defenses would immediately collapse. This may be the reason why the Yellow Turban Army concentrated its forces to attack the South Gate!
He suddenly let out a beast-like roar, and tried to burst out all the potential in his body, slashing the heads of the three enemy soldiers who attacked the city head into the air with three consecutive swords, just as all the Han troops on his side broke out with bursts of cheers again, Sun Jian had a sweet "wow" in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
In the shocked exclamation of the Han army, the long knife on the left and the spear on the right stretched out together, killing several enemy soldiers who took the opportunity to attack.
The two generals held him in place, one on the left and one on the right, and shouted anxiously: "General, are you okay?" ”
However, it was Cheng Pu and Huang Gai who blocked all the offensive for him, and when the enemy concentrated all their strength on attacking the south gate, they also led their own soldiers and horses and rushed to the south gate to assist in the defense.
Sun Jian spurted out a mouthful of blood, but he felt a smooth chest in his chest, and the original blockade boredom felt much better, and he couldn't help but lift his spirits, he gently pushed away the two generals, and pointed the long knife in his hand at the sky.
The wind hunted, blowing and fluttering his blood-stained robes, with his resolute and upright majestic figure, and the fearless and proud look on his face, which was mighty and incoherent.
The Han soldiers were stunned, and immediately cheers and shouts resounded throughout the city.
Sun Jian looked at Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's concerned and worried eyes, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Soldiers! Hold on, and our reinforcements will definitely ......"
"Huh!" He was suddenly surprised: "Look, what's wrong with the enemy's rear formation? ”
All the soldiers looked with wide eyes together, and sure enough, they saw that the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly seemed to have blown up a nest, and the soldiers were rushing around. Suddenly, a black-clothed and black-armored soldier and horse was like a sharp knife, penetrating the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army and revealing its figure.
That army did not have any banners, only more than a thousand cavalry and thousands of infantry, but its combat strength was amazing. They used the cavalry to break through, and the infantry followed up to cover the response, tearing apart the rows of the Yellow Turban Army in a hurry, almost without hindrance, and slaughtering the enemy everywhere they passed.
"That's amazing! But how can it be black clothes and black armor? Sun Jian was surprised again, the Han army was also mostly made of ochre, but no matter what, this army must be reinforcements.
He looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, pointed at the long knife in his hand, and shouted a military order that shocked all the soldiers: "Brothers, go out of the city with me!" ”
After the shock, the soldiers burst out with a monstrous fighting spirit, the heroism of the main general, the tragic fighting for days, the death of countless robes, and the super combat power of the supporting army under the city, all of them were like bowls of strong wine into their stomachs, making their excited eyes red, and everyone's voices shouted the same word: "Kill!" ”
The city gate was opened, and a small Han army with a determination to die was like a mantis arm as a car, and it shook towards tens of thousands of enemy troops in front.
The Yellow Turban Army never dreamed that when they were killed by this strange army behind them, the Han army in the city, which was only a few thousand, dared to take the initiative to kill, and they used their lives one by one, and everywhere they passed was like boiling soup and snow, invincible.
Just when the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos by the enemy, suddenly all the Han troops on the battlefield used all their strength to let out bursts of ecstatic cheers.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the flag fluttered in the distance in the west, and a Han army flag was the first to be raised, and two big characters fluttered in the wind: Huangfu. Followed by another Han army in the south, it poured out like a tide, and directly entered the Yellow Turban Army's Chinese army, and a big banner was also raised high: the Han Dynasty rode Du Lieutenant Cao.
The Yellow Turban Army finally went into chaos again, and inevitably showed a complete collapse.
