Chapter 108: Ma Chao attacked the enemy camp at night
On the third day when Ma Chao's army arrived in Wancheng, he really didn't do anything except for the five miles of troops, so the two sides were still at peace and rested for a day. On the fourth day, before the ugly hour passed, Ma Chao ordered the whole army to feast on the war meal, and he was ready to send troops.
Previously, when Ma Chao told Wei Ping that he was going to send troops to Wancheng, he asked Wei Ping and his hundred people to set off for Wancheng in advance. After that, nearly seventy of them had infiltrated the Yellow Turban Army, and now they were among the Yellow Turban Army outside the city.
Don't underestimate these dozens of people, for the nearly 100,000 troops of the Yellow Turban, these people are indeed insignificant. But for Ma Chao, these people may be able to work wonders, so he does have great hopes for Wei Ping because of the previous agreement.
Ma Chao's account, "Uncle Zhi, order the whole army to set off and strive for a battle!" ”
"No!"
The ugly time had passed, and Ma Chao ordered the whole army to set off. After all, the two battalions were separated by fifteen miles, and their slow march might have to be close to an hour.
In the Yellow Turban Camp, Wei Ping and the others were basically in different tents, and when the hour was approaching, they all secretly went out of the military tents. All they had to do was set fire to the tents, and they burned the tents, and at this time nearly seventy of them set fire to the tents almost at the same time.
Because Ma Chao and Wei Ping agreed before that they would launch an attack on the fourth day of the arrival of his army, attack the enemy camp at night, and strive to win the battle. And all Wei Ping had to do was to create all kinds of chaos in the enemy camp, and for now, at least the arson was very successful. Don't look at it, it's just dozens of military tents, but Wei Ping and the others, some of them are in the middle of the camp, and some are in the back, so the dozens of military tents are still relatively scattered.
After lighting the fire, Wei Ping and the others shouted: "The Han army is coming to rob the camp, the Han army is coming to rob the camp, everyone run, run!" ”
To say that the most feared thing about this army is to bomb the camp, especially the army of nearly 100,000, and I don't know how many people are awakened in their sleep. If it is a well-trained team, it may be able to stabilize a little, but for a team like the Yellow Turban Army, as soon as they heard that the Han army was coming to rob the camp and saw the firelight, they were indeed in a hurry.
At first, there was chaos in the burned tent of the military tent, and then it gradually expanded, and Wei Ping and they also took advantage of the chaos to start killing the Yellow Turban soldiers. However, Wei Ping and they are also more cunning, after killing one, they ran to another place to continue killing, and then shouted while running: "The Han army has robbed the camp, the Han army has robbed the camp!" They're all around us, everyone! As soon as the Yellow Turban sergeants saw that the Han army was really coming, they all started a chaotic battle with weapons, and they began the prelude to cannibalism in the confusion.
It's a good thing that Ma Chao's army hasn't arrived yet, and now it's no different from his army. At this time, Ma Chao's army finally arrived, and he ordered an immediate attack on the Yellow Turban Army and entered the Yellow Turban Army camp, which was even more chaotic, and the Yellow Turban Army was chaotic from the front to the back.
Zhang Mancheng had already come out of the tent, and when he saw it, the flames were soaring, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the camp was even more chaotic.
"Dashuai, the camp is in chaos, and it is out of control, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Sun Xia hurriedly said to Zhang Mancheng.
"Alas! The general trend has gone, Sun Xia, quickly integrate the team and immediately retreat to Wancheng, quickly! ”
Zhang Mancheng slapped his thigh and said anxiously and unwillingly. He couldn't figure out why the Han army had become like this after robbing the second battalion, could this be the gap between his own team and the regular army?
"No!" Sun Xia took the order and left.
Zhang Mancheng is indeed decisive, and he already knows that Lu Dao is now uncontrollable and uncontrollable, so he has no choice but to retreat to Wancheng. So he got on his horse and retreated to Wancheng with a few guards, shouting in the loudest voice as he walked: "Brothers, follow Lao Zhang, I will quickly retreat to Wancheng!" ”
Zhang Mancheng believes that the brothers who are still relatively sober now will naturally retreat to Wancheng after hearing his words, and if they are already in chaos, you may not be able to do anything.
On the side of the Han army, Ma Chao took the lead, rode a white lion, and broke into the Yellow Turban camp, with the spear in his hand firing the bow left and right, constantly harvesting the lives of the Yellow Turban soldiers. Even if he knew that the Yellow Turban soldiers were almost all people who rebelled without food, but on the battlefield, there was only the enemy, and it was impossible for him to show mercy to his subordinates.
Compared with Ma Chao's side, Cui An's side is purely a killing god. This kid couldn't hold back before, but this time he can be regarded as able to let go, so he doesn't care about anything else, as long as he is cool, he rushes forward with a halberd and kills. The Yellow Turban sergeant was unlucky when he met him, as long as he was pierced by this painting halberd, he would die, and he would be injured if he touched it. Especially the equipment of these soldiers is not good, and there is no protective armor on their bodies, which is ordinary rags, so Cui An has killed and injured countless people.
Don't look at the number of people on the Yellow Turbans, but now the camp has been bombed, so in comparison, the Han army still has the advantage. And the casualties on the Yellow Turban's side were too many more than those of the Han army, and some people were killed as soon as they reacted. It's early in the morning, and if it's daytime, you can see more clearly, and on the battlefield, it's bloody and miserable.
Ma Chao didn't feel anything about it anymore, war is actually so cruel, and only those who have experienced the war can better understand the value of peace. Therefore, when he lived in the current world, he felt that he lived in such a relatively peaceful environment in his previous life, and that was really a very happy thing.
Chen is almost there, after all, he doesn't have Ma Chao's martial arts, let alone Cui An's fierceness, so he is more focused on commanding everyone to kill the enemy, rather than killing the enemy himself. "Brothers, the time has come to make a contribution, everyone will kill the enemy with me!"
And the Yellow Turban soldiers are still awake and have already retreated in the direction of Wancheng, after all, some people are not afraid of death, but not all of them. Besides, the camp was robbed by the Han army this time, and some people saw the current situation, and they were really afraid. Yes, if you can live well and escape with your life, basically no one chooses to die, so many people are already afraid and choose to retreat.
Ma Chao roared out his loudest voice: "Brothers, the enemy army is cowardly, everyone rush with me, victory or defeat in one fell swoop, capture Zhang Mancheng alive!" ”
"Capture Zhang Mancheng alive! Capture Zhang Mancheng alive! After hearing the words of the commander, the morale of the Han army was high, after all, it was always their own side that had the upper hand, and now that victory was in sight, everyone used all their strengths to fight the enemy. The Han sergeant roared angrily: "Kill, kill, kill!" "If it were daylight, and you looked closely at them, you would have found that they were red-eyed, and each one of them was eager to tear the enemy in front of him to pieces.
Zhang Mancheng, who was fleeing towards Wancheng, vaguely heard the Han army shouting to capture him alive, he frowned after hearing it, he had now fallen into this step, but he had no choice but to speed up and retreat towards Wancheng. Zhang Mancheng is not afraid of death, but he can't die so easily, and if he wants to die, he has to avenge his brothers.
He felt that now that the Yellow Turban Army had become like this, he had an unshirkable responsibility, and he was sorry for his brothers. But the culprit is Han Jun and Ma Chao, so he has to save his breath to avenge the brothers. This time the camp was robbed, it was a fiasco, nothing. Staying in the green mountains, he is not afraid of no firewood, and he still has Wancheng, he doesn't believe that Ma Chao's team of less than 10,000 people can break Wancheng guarded by so many people.
Zhang Mancheng and the remnants of the army have arrived at the city of Wancheng, and the yellow turban general who defends the city of Wancheng holds a torch and asks, "Who is under the city?" ”
Maybe the light was too poor, but he didn't see that it was Zhang Mancheng, and asked. Zhang Mancheng didn't get angry, but only heard him say: "It's Ben Shuai, you kid open the city gate quickly!" ”
The general defending the city saw that it was really the handsome Zhang Mancheng, "No! Open the city gate and let the handsome enter the city! ”
However, he chuckled in his heart, and he had already known that the situation in the camp had changed. But the marshal had repeatedly told himself before that no matter what happened, he must not open the city gate without his order. Therefore, this person has been fulfilling his duties in the past few days of confrontation between the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army, and he did not dare to slack off.
Originally, this time the Han army robbed the camp, he also wanted to save the camp, but he kept remembering Zhang Mancheng's military orders and didn't dare to make any moves. Now when I see that the commander is back, I see that the army has fled back after defeat, and it can be seen that the battalion in front is defeated, defeated.
The guards opened the city gate, and Zhang Mancheng retreated to Wancheng with the remnants. Other remnants of the army retreated to Wancheng one after another, and after Sun Xia returned with the integrated remnants, Zhang Mancheng ordered the city gate to be closed. He knew that there were still his brothers behind him who had not returned, but he could no longer open the city gates, because Ma Chao's army was also behind. For the safety of Wancheng and the brothers in the city, I can only abandon those backward brothers.
Zhang Mancheng stood on the wall of Wancheng, looked at the fire of the camp in front of him, smashed his fist into the city wall with his right hand, and shouted hatefully: "Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, I, Zhang Mancheng, do not share the sky with you!" Brothers, don't blame me, the Spirit of Heaven bless me to avenge you! After speaking, as soon as he closed his eyes, two tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, if people who really know Zhang Mancheng are here, they will definitely be a little surprised to see this situation, and they may not know that he will also cry.
Ma Chao suddenly seemed to vaguely hear someone calling his name, he looked in the direction of Wancheng, shook his head again, and then continued to kill.
He had a hunch that it was impossible to capture Zhang Mancheng alive this time. Don't you see, I've been killed for so long, but I haven't even seen other people's hair, is it possible that this kid will be invisible? Soil escape? It doesn't matter what it is, it's probably running away anyway.
