"Break the city today! Raid for three days! Ten gold prizes for those who ascend first! ”

"Brothers, keep up the work! The officers and soldiers of the dog day immediately couldn't stop it! ”

"Dog officer! Take your life! ”

Zhang Mancheng, who was under the city, looked at the appearance of the Yellow Turban people taking the lead, and showed a satisfied smile, and his personal soldiers stood in front of them in three rows and kept shouting to boost morale.

The soldiers of Chen County on the city wall were physically and mentally exhausted, and the Yellow Turban thieves besieging the city were endless, and they couldn't kill them all, they didn't have the strength to stretch their bows and arrows, and the heavy rolling wood and stones couldn't lift up, they were completely relying on perseverance to support themselves in the battle.

"There must be no retreat! Soldiers, our families are behind us, in front of us are brutal thieves, once the city falls, your family will be shamelessly humiliated and brutally killed, soldiers! Hold on a little longer! The Yellow Turban Thief will be dead soon! ”

In this era of cold weapon warfare, morale is a very important factor, once a person begins to flee the battlefield, there will be countless people fleeing from the wind, the inverted bead curtain is the most common battlefield tactic, the so-called inverted bead curtain is the front row of soldiers to flee, they will turn around and attack their own battle formation, and then the formation will all collapse.

On the hillside in the distance, Xiang Qing and Cao Cao stood side by side, their eyes narrowed slightly, carefully observing the battlefield, and the generals were standing behind them, and they also knew that the morale of the thief army was high now, and it was not the best time to make a move.

Wang Shu quietly appeared beside Xiang Qing, he and Xu Shu have been staying for a long time, and his light skills have also improved a lot, at present, his light skills are no less than Xiang Xu.

"How long have you been fighting?" Xiang Qing asked.

"It's been two hours." Wang Shu replied: "Judging from the clothing, only one of the defenders in the city is a county soldier, most of them are private soldiers of the wealthy family, and the combat effectiveness is quite strong, only a thousand people in number, and the yellow turban thieves outside the city do not have sophisticated weapons and armor, although the morale is strong but the combat effectiveness is not strong, it is estimated that more than 2,000 people will be lost in these two hours, and in another half an hour, it is estimated that Chen County will fall." ”

Xiang Qing nodded: "You've worked hard, go down and take a rest." ”

Wang Shu's intelligence ability is really staggering, in a short period of time, he has investigated the situation of both the enemy and us, and Xiang Qing has become more and more dependent on Wang Shu.

"Big brother, now is the best time to make a move."

Cao Cao turned around and instructed the generals: "Everyone act according to the order, be sure to destroy the Yellow Turban thief, Jun He, the thief's first Zhang Man will be sold to you." ”

"Okay."

At the foot of the hill, the tiger and leopard riders were already ready to go, and the horses were snorting in dissatisfaction, and they couldn't wait to join the battle.

Zhang Mancheng also rode on the horse, watching his Yellow Turban people attack the city, and the soldiers next to him were also casual, although Zhang Mancheng was nominally the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, in fact, he was just a mountain bandit leader, and he had never even seen Zhang Jiao.

There was a thunderous sound in the distance, but when he looked up, he found that the sun was still shining, and there was no rain at all, and the thunder was getting closer and closer, as if it was coming straight in his direction.

"What sound?" Zhang Mancheng asked suspiciously.

At this time, a yellow turban sentry covered in blood ran over and knelt on one knee and reported: "Handsome! It's cavalry! It's cavalry! A lot of cavalry! ”

After saying that, the sentry was already dying, and on his back, an arrow was inserted, and the arrow pierced his body, and he was shrouded in despair and left the world.

Zhang Mancheng raised his eyes and saw that the tip of the arrow was aiming at him with a cold light, he was shocked, and dragged the pro-soldier next to him over to block the arrow, this arrow was shot by Xiang Qing, and the arrow penetrated the pro-soldier, only an inch away from Zhang Mancheng's eyes.

"The thief is gone! Xiahoudun is here! ”

A spear arrived first, Zhang Mancheng was shocked, and dragged two pro-soldiers to resist one after another, Xiahou Dun snorted coldly, the spear swept over, and the corpses of the two pro-soldiers flew out, Zhang Mancheng slapped his horse and fled, Xiahou Dun horse was fast, rushed to the front and stabbed Zhang Mancheng to death with a spear.

These pro-soldiers were far less loyal, and when they saw that the commander was dead, they immediately knelt down and surrendered, but Xiang Qing had no intention of taking prisoners at all, and the iron horses of the tiger and leopard rode over, and they had already become corpses.

Xiahoudun cut off Zhang Mancheng's head, holding the head in his left hand, and rushing with a spear in his right hand, shouting that the boss was dead, shaking the morale of the Yellow Turban thief.

Three thousand tigers and leopards rode behind the Yellow Turban Thief to cover and kill, the left and right sides were the infantry led by Cao Ren and Cao Hong, the defenders in the city saw the reinforcements coming, and they also opened the city gate and rushed out, the Yellow Turban Thief had no way to escape, and it was not half an hour, and there was no living Yellow Turban Thief on the battlefield.

The army cleaned up the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the tiger and leopard cavalry became stronger and stronger, and Cao Cao had to feel distressed for a long time for every loss of a member, and this tiger and leopard cavalry also had the shadow of Xiang Qing, and even the name of the tiger and leopard cavalry was given by Xiang Qing.

"How much have you lost?"

Xu Shu replied: "According to the casualties they transmitted, the infantry lost seventeen dead and eighty lightly and seriously wounded, and on the cavalry side, five were killed and six were lightly wounded. ”

"Ugh." Xiang Qing sighed and said, "This battle is still not beautiful enough, if you are more cautious, maybe you won't lose so many brothers." ”

Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Junhe doesn't have to blame himself, this is a real battlefield, no matter how good a commander is, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be zero casualties at the end of a war, look at it." ”

Xiang Qing also led troops on the battlefield in Liangzhou, and he also understood this truth, so he didn't feel sad for a long time, he found the corpses of the people he shot and pulled out the arrows, which are extremely precious, and it is better to recover them as much as possible.

The war ended too quickly, and Xiahou Yuan and the others still complained that they hadn't shown their skills yet, and Xiang Qing also told them that there would still be opportunities in the future.

Under the escort of the generals, Xiang Qing Cao Cao came to the gate of the city and saw the representative of the defenders, Chen County, the county commander Chen Dao.

This county magistrate is a native of Runan, Yuzhou, and his armor is also covered with bloodstains, and when he resisted the Yellow Turban Thief, he also stood on the city tower and commanded without retreating.

"Thank you for your help, I am Chen County."

"Well, my name is Cao Cao, and this is my righteous brother Xiang Qing."

"Fortunately, Brother Cao, Brother Xiang, please come to the city."

Everyone followed Chen to enter the city, Chen County originally did not have a city wall, but Chen to this person is quite a long way to go, he was busy running forward, raising funds, built a city wall for Chen County, many places have not yet been completed, into the city, you saw the two arrow towers that have not yet been built, and the city defense layout in the city is also in order.

Xu Shu whispered to Xiang Qing: "This Chen is not bad, the placement of various equipment is very reasonable, and the distribution of personnel is also very appropriate." ”

Xiang Qing said with a smile: "People can use a thousand people to resist the Yellow Turban Thieves for two hours, of course there is something, I think that his layout is too rigid, of course it is okay to deal with the regular army, but the Yellow Turban Thieves attack the city in no order, such an arrangement will not come in handy, it is still necessary to be flexible." ”

At this time, Wang Shu asked Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, if you command this yellow turban thief, how can you fight it?" ”

Xu Shu thought for a while and replied: "The art of war, attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, I will definitely not attack the city directly, but how to fight it depends on the situation, did you hear what the lord said just now?" Be flexible. ”

"Okay, okay, you're right, teach me another day."

"No problem."

Cao Cao and Chen Zhi chatted enthusiastically, Xu Shu could see that Chen Zhi was a talented person, of course Cao Cao could also see it, an excellent leader is able to find excellent employees, so Cao Cao can dominate the Central Plains.

Everyone chatted hotly, but Xiang Qing had other thoughts in his heart, he had also read this Chen Zhi record, it seemed to be Liu Bei's person, not an ordinary person, it was Liu Bei's subordinate Bai Yu soldier commander, and now it seems that this Chen Zhi should be Chen Zhi in the history books.

Since such an excellent talent was discovered by me first, then I'm sorry Liu Xuande, you should be gathering your own troops now, right? I don't know if you met Guan Yu, you have Guan Yu Zhang Fei, then Chen Zhi is going to follow my eldest brother!

Cao Cao and Chen Zhi talked about things alone, according to Cao Cao's ability, it is estimated that Chen Zhi is about to be "abducted", Xiang Qing and they are waiting at the door, originally Cao Cao wanted Xiang Qing to go in and chat, but Xiang Qing shirked and said that his voice was hoarse, so he didn't go in.

At this moment, Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked over, still holding a letter in his hand.

"Jun Hyuk! Something happened! ”

At this time, Xu Shu and Wang Shu, who had slipped out quietly just now, also came back, and they also shouted: "Lord! Something happened! ”

Xiang Qing quieted everyone down and said, "What's wrong?" I didn't hear you guys making such noise, Zhicai, you can say it. ”

Xi Zhicai raised the letter in his hand and said: "This is a letter from the old family of Yingchuan to me, it is written that General Zhu Jun has been defeated, Zhang Jiao has gathered tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves in Yingchuan, and the entire territory of Yingchuan has fallen at present. ”

Xiang Qing took the envelope and asked Wang Shu again: "What news do you have there?" ”

Wang Shu said: "The front is the same as Brother Zhicai, but I have other news here, saying that General Huangfu Song has rushed to the aid of General Zhu Jun, but General Huangfu Song left most of his troops in Hebei to resist Zhang Bao, and only brought 10,000 people to support, and the commanders of the Yellow Turban Thieves are rushing to Yingchuan, and the total strength may exceed 100,000!" ”

Xiang Qing's brows furrowed, he had already thought that Zhu Jun would be defeated, but he didn't expect Zhu Jun to be defeated so quickly.

"Get the map."

Xiang Qing frowned and said: "It seems that the Yellow Turban Army wants to have a battle in Yingchuan, but the scope of Yingchuan is not small, where will the battlefield be?" ”

Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, pointed their fingers at the same place, and said in unison: "Changshe!" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Yingchuan is my hometown, and Changshe is definitely the most suitable battlefield for the battlefield, and this is the key place for the Yellow Turban Thieves and the Han Army to fight!" ”
