Chapter 109: The Battle of Yanling (3)
On the banks of the Shuishui River, the Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai formed a formation with their backs against the river, and when they took a step back, there was a turbulent river, and in front of them were the tigers and leopard cavalry like wolves and tigers.
The rain gradually became heavier, accompanied by a strong wind, the rain slanted and smashed on the faces of the Yellow Turbans, the bean-sized raindrops made people unable to open their eyes, and the sky was full of leaves and weeds carried by the wind, and the sky and the earth turned dim black.
The three thousand black-armored knights stood solemnly, the rain also slid down on the armor, the mask on the helmet blocked the rain, their eyes were fixed on the enemy, and the spears and halberds in their hands couldn't wait to drink the enemy's blood! Once the commander's order is given, they are the tigers who go down the mountain and go out to the sea!
On the left side of the Yellow Turban Army, there is the Cao Army's infantry battle formation, and at the forefront of the ranks, there is a shield wall as high as one person high, the Yellow Turban Army can't see how many people and horses are behind the shield wall, they can only see the sharp blades of spears protruding from the shield wall, as if they are in front of them is a steel forest.
On the right side is the empty river beach, not that the Cao army is insufficient, but that Xiang Qing has other arrangements, if the Yellow Turban Army of 5,000 people is really cornered, their will to fight will explode and fight to the death, maybe this spinach will really become the next Han Xin, and there will be one more record of the last battle in the history books, Xiang Qing doesn't want to be the king of Zhao, so don't want to be Han Xin.
The most elite unit in the Yellow Turban Army, called the Yellow Turban Force, they are the real undefeated army, even if there is only the last person left in the whole army, they will fight to the end, but there are not many such elites in the Han Dynasty, let alone how many Yellow Turbans there are, so among the five thousand people led by Spinach, there are only two hundred Yellow Turban Warriors in total.
The two armies are facing each other, and the people of the Yellow Turban Army are already inadvertently looking at the gap, for them, that gap is their hope of living, the desire of human beings for survival, that is an inviolable force from the depths of their hearts, and almost no one can refuse this power.
Liu Hu and Wang Shu had already put on their horses and came to Xiang Qing.
Liu Hu asked: "Lord, this spinach is already a turtle in the urn, why hasn't the lord given the order to attack?" ”
Wang Shu also asked: "Could it be that the lord wants to persuade spinach?" ”
"No, no, no." Xiang Qing shook his head: "I don't have to attack, nor do I need to persuade to surrender." ”
"Why is that?"
Xiang Qing said with a smile: "Tiger mouse, you are looking for where Bocai is." ”
The two looked left and right, and saw Bo Cai leading two hundred Yellow Turban wrestlers, standing at the forefront of the team, facing the blade of the tiger and leopard riding.
"Yo, the Yellow Turban Army still has such an elite force?"
"I said that how can this Yellow Turban Army still defeat General Zhu Jun, if Zhang Jiao has 10,000 such elite troops under his command, then General Zhu Jun will not lose unjustly."
Liu Hu looked back at Xiang Qing: "Lord, are you just worried about these two hundred people?" Our brothers who ride tigers and leopards are not vegetarians, and after a wave of killing, I guarantee that these two hundred people will be wiped out! ”
Xiang Qing jumped out of the carriage, stepped on the war horse, deliberately walked to Liu Hu's side and stretched out his hand to pat the back of his head, and said, "You two fools, it is said in the book of war, do you know that attacking the heart is the best?" This is the most powerful soldier who can surrender without a fight, and it will be over to see how your lord and I clean them up, watch and study hard. ”
Liu Hu covered the back of his head and said aggrievedly: "I know the lord, but I am stupid, the lord, you pat the back of my head every day, wouldn't I be even more stupid?" ”
"What's the matter? Do you have an opinion? ”
"No, no, my lord, you quickly command the army, I will kill wherever you ask me to kill!"
"Don't worry, the eldest brother hasn't arrived yet."
As soon as the words fell, a burst of noise was heard from the back of the team, and all the soldiers of the Cao army camp had arrived, that is, all the archers had arrived.
Before anyone saw it, Cao Cao's voice had already arrived: "Junhe, what's the situation?" ”
Xiang Qing muttered to himself: "Saying that Cao Cao Cao has arrived, it's really like this." ”
When Cao Cao came to the front of the formation, Xiang Qing raised his hand and pointed to the Yellow Turban Army on the riverside and said, "Big brother, you see, everything is going well with the plan." ”
Cao Cao laughed, Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai were still standing next to him, the two saw the success of their plan, looked at each other and smiled, these two amazing and gorgeous young people, their wits combined, it was really seamless, Bo Cai, the yellow turban general, was played with in applause.
"In that case, Junhe, everyone, let's start according to the original battle plan, this time we have used all our family resources, and we are only allowed to win and not lose!"
"No!"
Xiang Qing took over the command, and at this time, all the generals had arrived, and they were around Xiang Qing and Cao Cao, which can be described as a general.
"Cao Ren!"
"In!"
"Command your archers, take turns throwing arrows, don't skimp on arrows! Once you've used up all your arrows, retreat! ”
"No!"
"Cao Hong, Liu Hu, Chen arrives!"
"The last general!"
"Order the three of you to lead 3,000 infantry to prevent the Yellow Turban Thieves from breaking through from the left flank, if there is a mistake, the three of you will be guilty of the same crime!"
"The last general obeys!"
"Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan!"
"In!"
"Let each of you lead fifteen hundred tiger and leopard cavalry! Take turns to attack, wait until the morale of the Yellow Turban Thieves collapses, and immediately pursue! Make a clean sweep of! ”
"No!"
The generals received orders one after another, each urging the war horses, and mobilizing the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to carry out the general's orders, Cao Cao and Xiang Qing's side immediately vacated a space, but there were still two people, and they didn't hear Xiang Qing call their names for a long time, that is, Xu Chu and Wang Shu.
"General! Why didn't you pronounce my name? I'm going to go into battle to kill the enemy! Xu Chu shouted.
Wang Shu also followed Xu Chu's steps and stood up, arching his hand and saying, "Lord! I'm not bad at swordsmanship now! You let me go too! ”
Xiang Qing shook his head and said, "I know that you are all first-class warriors!" But if the Chinese army wants to keep people to guard it, you are very suitable. ”
Wang Shu said angrily: "My lord, your swordsmanship, you need our protection?" ”
Xiang Qing smiled, pulled out the Thundering Sword, and said with a smile: "Am I an idle person?" I'm going to catch the wave before I come back, you guys are here, honestly protect the eldest brother and Zhicai, and they have decided so happily. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiang Qing had already urged the war horse to rush out, and Wang Shu and Xu Chu could only stay in place in a daze.
The battle was about to break out, and the archers of the Cao army brought all the bows and arrows, and under Cao Ren's methodical command, wave after wave of arrows rained down on the heads of the Yellow Turban Army, as if there were knives in the sky.
Many of the Yellow Turban soldiers looked up blankly, and saw the arrows being hurled in a perfect arc, and when he was about to turn and run away, the arrows had already pinned him to the ground.
Arrows round after round, there was no gap in the middle, did not give the Yellow Turban Army any respite, they went out of the city in a hurry, they did not carry many shields at all, if there were shields, they might still be able to withstand the rain of arrows to assault, but there are not so many ifs in the world.
The blood of the Yellow Turbans gathered into a stream and flowed into the water, and countless corpses fell into the water, washed away by the rushing river, and there was no longer a sound.
After twenty rounds of arrow rain, the entire river beach was full of arrows, and the corpses left on the river beach became hedgehogs, and the number of the Yellow Turban Army had been reduced by half under the rain of arrows at any cost.
As soon as he crawled out of the pile of corpses, before he could catch his breath, he felt the ground tremble, and the rumbling sound thought it was thunder in the sky, and when he looked up, he saw that fifteen hundred cavalrymen had arrived in front of him, and he waved his steel knives and cut off the heads of his companions.
The tiger and leopard cavalry cut down the Yellow Turban thieves who stood up to the ground as if they were cutting wheat, and before the Yellow Turban thieves could start to fight back, they had already turned their horses and killed them from the flanks.
As soon as he took a breath, he saw another group of cavalry rushing over, exactly the same technique, exactly the same broadsword, they were still harvested wheat, there was no change.
"Grandma's! How to fight this battle! Brothers! Let's go! We can't beat Cao Jun! ”
"No, the general is still holding on!"
"Hurry up and take the general along!"
"The general is still fighting! I'm not going! Go and go on your own! ”
Cao Jun's attacks were endless, and the only resistance was Bo Cai and his two hundred Yellow Turban Warriors, who were like reefs in the waves, and waves of wind and waves failed to bring them down.
Even though the spear had pierced him in the stomach and his intestines had fallen to the ground, he still clung to the horse's hooves and tripped the horse with his own corpse.
They do not have superb martial arts, but they have the most tenacious will to fight, everyone's eyes are blood-red, and their Taiping Dao beliefs support them to fight until the last moment of their lives.
Two hundred Yellow Turban wrestlers have caused a great obstacle to the Tiger and Leopard Ride, and it is also the hope of all the Yellow Turban Army now, as long as these two hundred people are still there, it means that the Yellow Turban Army has not yet failed, and they can continue to fight!
The yellow turban general next to Bo Cai pulled Bo Cai's arm and tried to take him away, but Bo Cai struggled to break free and roared angrily: "Today, I, Bo Cai, will die here!" I must not retreat, I don't have the face to go to see the Heavenly Master! ”
At this moment, a huge zigzag purple lightning fell from the sky, and he emitted a dazzling light, and in Bocai's eyes, this light condensed into the shape of a sword.
"Since you want to die! Then it will be done for you! ”
Xiang Qing's sword arrived, and the Yellow Turban wrestler in front of him tried his best to stop the god of war, his sword was too sharp.
Bo Cai looked at his chest in disbelief, he only saw the hilt of the sword, the blade of the sword had penetrated his chest, and the blood on his body was washed wildly by the torrential rain, but it could no longer stop the flow of his vitality.
"Where am I losing?" Bocai asked in a steady tone.
Xiang Qing smiled: "I don't know, I'm a person who only looks at the results, you lost." ”
With the death of the Yellow Turban General Bo Cai, the Yellow Turban Warriors were also exterminated, and the remaining few hundred Yellow Turban troops finally collapsed, and they fled desperately, but they could not escape the long knife of the tiger and leopard riding.
Xiang Qing immediately ordered his troops to change into the clothes of the Yellow Turban Army, and immediately rushed to the city of Yanling, using Bocai's armor to deceive the guards on the city wall.
Under the leadership of the generals, Cao's army slowly entered the city, and they took over the city defense of the Yellow Turban Army, slaughtering the Yellow Turban Army in the city.
In just two days, the 8,000 defenders of the Yellow Turban Army in Yanling City had been wiped out, the main general Bo Cai was killed in battle, the other Yellow Turban generals were beheaded for public display, and the number of Cao Jun's dead was less than 500.
Battle of Yanling! Great victory!
On Yuan Shao's side, it doesn't seem to be so smooth.
