Chapter 153: Bringing the King into the Urn
After Wang Qing led the crowd out of the city, he let Xiang Zhi lead the soldiers to press the formation behind, while he himself rode forward, opposite the Yellow Turban Military Academy Captain Yi who called the formation.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them rushed towards each other almost at the same time, and in a short distance, Wang Qing's weapon was connected with the opponent's weapon, and it seemed to be equal to each other. Next, the two fought each other on the war horse, because Wang Qing deliberately hid it, in the eyes of the Yellow Turban Army, although Wang Qing was not inferior to Captain B, Captain B couldn't take the other party in a short time.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, and Zuo Zhanghachi saw that Captain B still hadn't won the other party, so he turned his head to look at the other two captains beside him. The two of them, who had already received the instructions of Zuo Zhanghachi, immediately rode their horses and rushed towards the two of Wang Qing, who were fighting, after receiving the instructions of Zuo Zhangpachi.
Wang Qing also saw them, and was overjoyed, knowing that the opportunity had come, he immediately pretended to be shocked and wanted to ride his horse back and flee. And Xiang Zhi, who was pressing Wang Qing under the city, also saw the other party's actions, and immediately shouted: "The dog thief is shameless, and he actually sent people to besiege him." Everybody rush with me, take them down for me. ”
After speaking, Xiang Zhi immediately led the 4,000 soldiers behind him to rush forward, and Zuo Zhangba was not to be outdone, knowing that he had miscalculated his plan to take the opportunity to take down the officers and soldiers, so he also sent 10,000 Yellow Turban troops to rush forward, trying to take the opportunity to annihilate this group of officers and soldiers outside the city.
Wang Qing, who was originally pretending to retreat, also turned his horse's head when he saw Xiang Zhi bringing people over, and after the soldiers under his command converged, they rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army. The distance between the two sides was only a few hundred paces, and soon the two sides were close to each other.
Of the 4,000 soldiers led by Wang Qing this time, only 1,000 were soldiers from the Ruishi Battalion, and the other 3,000 were civilians who had never experienced war. Moreover, the two sides were 4,000 to 10,000, and soon the officers and soldiers led by Wang Qing fell into disadvantage.
Zuo Zhanghachi was not surprised by this, he rode on a war horse and saw the entire battle situation very clearly, in his opinion, within half an hour, the officers and soldiers would be completely taken down by his own 10,000 soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that it was not suitable to invest more soldiers at this time, he even wanted to let the other 20,000 Yellow Turban Army behind him also enter the battle, but let him endure it, and only hoped that the 10,000 soldiers who were fighting in front of him would quickly eliminate the officers and soldiers under the commander of his three henchmen and lieutenants.
However, nine times out of ten, when he thought that the officers and soldiers were about to be cut off by them, the sound of Mingjin sounded from the city wall of Xiangyuan County.
Wang Qing and his officers and soldiers all heard it, and the officers and soldiers looked at Wang Qing, only to see him struggling to kill the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him, and then shouted: "Brothers, retreat, quickly withdraw to the city!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he understood that he turned his horse's head, and the thousand soldiers of the original Ruishi battalion quickly gathered around him, forming a sharp arrow formation, Wang Qing was the arrow, and then rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army who were trying to cut off their rear route. As for the temporary officers and soldiers composed of 3,000 young men and women from Xiangyuan County, they also followed them scatteredly, but because they had no experience on the battlefield, when they retreated, some people were constantly cut down to the ground by the Yellow Turban Army.
Wang Qing took the lead, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who intercepted them couldn't resist it, and he and the soldiers of the 1,000 Rui Battalion forcibly tore a gap, and the young soldiers of Xiangyuan County behind them immediately rushed over from this gap, and then rushed towards the city gate together.
Seeing this, the three lieutenants of the Yellow Turban Army could not let the meat in their mouths fly, and they clenched the officers and soldiers. At this time, it should have been supported remotely on the city wall to block the pursuing Yellow Turban Army, but first, there were only 3,000 soldiers left on the city wall, and second, Zeng Yu originally hoped to introduce the Yellow Turban Army into the city, so the Yellow Turban Army that pursued Wang Qing followed the officers and soldiers all the way, and actually chased them to the city gate.
After the last officer and soldier entered the city, Zeng Yu hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, close the city gate quickly, don't let the Yellow Turban thieves chase in!" “
Zuo Zhangbachi, who was watching the battle from afar, also heard Zeng Yu's shout, he didn't expect his people to attack directly at the city gate, he immediately shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" ”
He sent 10,000 soldiers to the city wall, trying to take possession of the city wall by means of a ladder, while the other 10,000 soldiers, under his own orders, went as a follow-up force towards the gate that was being fought for.
The defenders of the city gate of Xiangyuan County are just ordinary officers and soldiers, where can they resist the Yellow Turban Army that was completely inspired by the fierce Yellow Turban Army, and the stalemate lasted less than a short time, and the defenders of the city gate were completely defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, and since then the north city gate of Xiangyuan County has fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.
Seeing the men and horses under his command rushing in from the city gate, Zuo Zhangpachi was overjoyed, he didn't expect it to be so smooth this time, he asked the troops attacking the city wall to pause, since the city gate has been taken, there is no need for him to make senseless sacrifices on the city wall.
And at the same time he was happy, Zeng Yu was also very happy in his heart, he saw the Yellow Turban Army that was constantly pouring into the city, and felt that he had used so many bait, and finally caught this fish, and then he was thinking about how to make him into delicious food to provide nutrition for his development and growth.
"Bonghyo, everything is ready." Zeng Yu asked Guo Jia.
"Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready, it's just that I look at Zuo Zhangbachi's appearance, and I don't seem to plan to enter the city immediately." Guo Jia said.
Zeng Yu looked at Zuo Zhangba, who was preparing to attack outside the city, and saw that there were about 10,000 men and horses under his command, he thought for a while, and said to Guo Jia: "It's okay, let's eat this piece of meat in our mouth first, and if he dares to attack, then let him in." If he escapes, we won't be without a backhand. “
Xiangyuan County has long been arranged by Zeng Yu and them, after entering the city, they only saw a street winding forward, and on both sides of the street are restaurants, restaurants or houses, etc., but now the doors are closed, and you can't see the situation inside. The Yellow Turban Army, which entered the city, was still under the command of the three captains and their respective centurions and chiefs, and did not stay after rushing into the city, but pursued Wang Qing's headquarters all the way in front.
Because in their hearts, Wang Qing's officers and soldiers were the only effective resistance in the city, and Wang Qing and they must have hurried to escape from the other city gates with the county order of Xiangyuan County at this time. And since they have already invaded the city, they naturally can't let the other party escape, which is their promotion to the battle feat.
One of the two parties fled in the front and the other chased in the rear, and after the Yellow Turban Army's total of 20,000 troops entered the county seat, the line became longer and longer because of the width of the streets in the county, and the Yellow Turban Army soldiers behind had no idea what the situation was in front of.
At this time, a group of Yellow Turban sergeants who were left behind did not hold back, and they took swords that they had snatched out of nowhere and forcibly kicked open a house next to the street. This is their custom, and after entering the city, everyone can rest assured that they can plunder, and in addition to most of the handed-in, they can also keep some of their own. This time, they also saw that since the victory was decided, they could not kill the officers and soldiers, so they naturally had to think about themselves.
When they kicked open the door, they did not hear the expected panic, nor did they see the trembling women and children, but they were greeted by officers and soldiers with shields in their left hands and knives in their right. And this is also the last scene they saw, seeing the Yellow Turban Army rushing into the house, several officers and soldiers took the first step, one by one, and cut down all the Yellow Turban Army of this small group to the ground.
The screams of the Yellow Turbans before they died attracted the attention of the other Yellow Turbans, and immediately several more groups of Yellow Turban soldiers walked towards the house, but they did not know the specific situation, and they acted very cautiously. But their caution did not help, and the sudden shooting of bows and arrows from the upper floors and rooftops killed them directly.
At this moment, a shout came out of nowhere: "Brothers, kill me, kill the enemy and make meritorious service today, let the lord see the results of our military camp training." ”
All of a sudden, countless shield-wielding soldiers rushed out of the streets, and they joined together and killed the unsuspecting Yellow Turban Army on the streets. As if to be outdone, a shout came from the upper floor of a restaurant: "Brothers, the brothers of the martial arts battalion have already gone up, our archer battalion can't be left behind, give it all to me, don't be stingy with bows and arrows." ”
The Yellow Turban Army, which had just been caught off guard by the surprise attack of the military battalion, ushered in a baptism of arrow rain, and the Yellow Turban Army crowded on the streets had nowhere to escape, and people kept falling to the ground with arrows. There were also people who tried to rush out of the barricades on both sides and hide in the houses next to them, but the battalions were like rocks, nailed there, so that the Yellow Turban soldiers could not rush through at all.
Pei Yuanshao and Wu Shi led their respective subordinates, starting from the city gate and pushing towards the city step by step. If they didn't take a single step, it meant the fall of a row of Yellow Turban soldiers.
The third lieutenant of the Yellow Turban Army, who was chasing Wang Qing in front, was pleasantly surprised to see that the officers and soldiers who were originally running in front actually stopped, and turned around to watch them catch up for a long time, there was no trace of fear in their eyes, on the contrary, they seemed to be looking at them jokingly. If they were more careful, they could also see that the weapon in Wang Qing's hand was no longer the standard spear he had fought with them just now, but a silver spear that looked sharper and more dazzling. And the soldiers behind him, although they are still about 4,000 people, but the momentum of these 4,000 people is by no means comparable to that of an army composed of ordinary young people.
"Why don't you run away, do you want to plead with grandpa, as long as you kneel down and kowtow to us three times, we will spare your life." Captain B didn't think much about it, stopped about ten steps away from Wang Qing, and said to Wang Qing.
"Haha, it's almost time, let's go together, so that you won't be lonely on the road together." Wang Qing said to them.
"It's just a defeated general, and you dare to be rampant, let me take your dog's life." Captain B said angrily.
After speaking, Captain B rushed towards Wang Qing with a big knife, he wanted to see this hateful officer and soldier as pieces, but the reality was bloody, and this blood still came from himself. When he rushed forward, Wang Qing only made a move, and at the same time as he picked off his big knife, he sent the tip of the spear into his throat.
Wang Qing drew the Rebellion Spark Spear, and Captain B's body lost its support and fell to the ground softly, which shocked Captain A and Captain C. "You... You.... You've been hiding your strength....." Captain Yi pointed at Wang Qing and said, because of nervousness, his lips were no longer under his control.
"That's right, it's time to end, all the Ruishi Battalion, rush with me!"
After Wang Qing finished speaking, he rushed towards the two captains of the Yellow Turban Army, and in just a few moves, the three captains were sent by Wang Qing to meet their Yellow Heavenly God. Wang Qing eliminated the three lieutenants, while the soldiers of the Rui Shi Battalion continued to reap the lives of the Yellow Turban soldiers as if they were slaughtering.
