Chapter 37: Breakthrough

"It's an hour late from the appointed time," the Yellow Turban general stared in Song Liu's direction, which was still calm. Beckoned two heralds, one to see Song Liu's situation, and the other to tell Zhang Jiao about the situation here.

Yang Yu stared at the Yellow Turban Army outside, who surrounded his troops twice, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and saw that Zhao Yi standing next to him still had a smile like a light breeze, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yi: "My lord, we are surrounded by heavy enemy troops at this time, what should we do?" ”

"General Yang, don't panic, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army are probably even more anxious than us. The Yellow Turban Thieves are currently frightened by our formation and dare not attack easily, so we have been safe in the last few hours. And the Yellow Turban Army is smaller than we thought, only about 30,000 people. Let Hua Xiong in Tucheng help us attract the enemy's attack and consume some of the opponent's troops, and we are on standby. Zhao Yi simply beckoned the soldiers to sit down, blocked by the shield above their heads, and they seemed to be under a huge umbrella.

Yang Yu admired Zhao Yi's calmness in the 10,000-strong array, but his mood was not as relaxed as Zhao Yi's, squatting beside Zhao Yi, looking around cautiously.

Originally, the Yellow Turban generals were worried that Zhao Yi would lead his troops to break through, but after seeing the actions of Zhao Yi and others, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This means that Zhao Yi will not attack and will not break through.

Beckoning his soldiers to stare at Zhao Yi and the others, he ordered the attacking troops to step up the siege of the city, and at the same time waited for reinforcements to arrive.

Huaxiong's division fought fiercely with the Yellow Turban Army, and the earthen wall was only eight feet high in time, and the enemy's cavalry could not attack, but the spears of the Yellow Turban Army below could reach the soldiers on the city gate, and many soldiers were stabbed in the chest by the opponent's spears at the same time.

In the two hours of the battle, Huaxiong's headquarters suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, and the Yellow Turban Army, as the attacking side, suffered nearly 6,000 casualties. But the attacks of the Yellow Turbans did not stop.

Hua Xiong's shoulder was also injured by an arrow, and he slashed the three Yellow Turban soldiers who were crazy to climb up with a big knife in his hand, he hated these Yellow Turban Army, and he hated Zhao Yi who was sitting on the side.

Zhao Yi's department has some actions on the periphery, which can attract some Yellow Turban troops to the past, and the pressure on his side will be a little less, but Zhao Yi's department has no movement, and even many gun-wielding soldiers are watching the fierce battle between their troops and the Yellow Turban Army with lively eyes.

The anger in his heart turned into strength and split a Yellow Turban soldier who had climbed the earthen wall in half, and the soldiers who followed closely behind took a step back when they saw Hua Xiong's bravery.

Hua Xiong stabbed his knife in his chest and shouted at Zhao Yi's camp: "Zhao Yi'er, you declare a personal vendetta!" I will kill you! ”

This angry roar penetrated through thousands of troops and horses, and it was almost inaudible to Zhao Yi's ears. Zhao Yi was not angry at Hua Xiong's insults: "If you want to kill me, let's survive first." ”

Hua Xiong scolded for a while, and found that Zhao Yi did not move at all, his breathing became heavy, and the big knife in his hand flashed a cold light, cutting down a person to the city.

The two sides fought fiercely until noon, and everyone on Zhao Yi's side was gnawing on steamed buns, watching the bloody scene not far from him, and an unreal feeling emerged in the hearts of the soldiers, as if they were in two worlds with this bloody scene.

Hua Xiong and the others fought fiercely for a long time, not to mention eating, and they didn't even have time to drink. The Yellow Turban Army relied on its large number of people and kept attacking.

Zhao Yi saw that most of the Yellow Turban soldiers' attention was on the earthen wall, nodded and muttered, "It's time." ”

With a sound of arrows piercing the sky, those soldiers sitting cross-legged on the ground stood up suddenly, the dozen or so balls suddenly dispersed, and the soldiers holding spears slammed into the depth of the Yellow Turban Army in a wedge-like shape, and those soldiers who were staring did not expect Zhao Yi's department to suddenly attack, only for a moment of stunned time, they were stabbed in the chest by the spear, and in the process of this action, several round ball soldiers were in one place, under the leadership of the leader, frantically slammed into the depth of the Yellow Turban Army. Especially the team led by Dian Wei, Dian Wei rushed to kill in this Yellow Turban Army as if no one was in a no-man's land.

The 6,000 men and horses were divided into three roads, rushing straight towards the location of the Yellow Turban Army's generals, and the soldiers who had been resting for a long time were rushing and killing in these Yellow Turban Army, which was exhausted by the siege of the city, one by one, like tigers descending from the mountain. Spears can sometimes pierce two people at the same time.

The momentum was very fierce, and although the Yellow Turban General ordered his soldiers to resist, in the face of that strong strength, the barrier formed by the Yellow Turban Army was actually broken in one face.

Dian Wei led his troops to the point where he was less than a hundred steps away from the Yellow Turban general. You can see the yellow turban general ordering his soldiers in a panic: "Resist!" Resist! He turned his horse's head around and tried to flee.

Dian Wei grabbed an oncoming shot and kicked the soldier aside, and the spear flipped around and threw it at the general.

A sharp sound of breaking the air sounded from behind, and the general, with the experience of crawling from the line of life and death, slightly sideways his body.

Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing pain in his left arm, and the powerful impact of the spear knocked him to the ground.

Zhao Yi saw that Dian Wei had shot the yellow turban general, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xin said that his solo training of Dian Wei had finally seen the effect. There are few brave generals like Dian Wei, and Zhao Yi has been training Dian Wei's throwing accuracy these times.

This time, seeing Dian Wei shoot the Yellow Turban general, the face was full of relief, and he beckoned his soldiers to continue to charge and kill. The badly injured Yellow Turban general had his head cut off by Dian Wei's iron halberd.

As soon as the leader died, the Yellow Turban Army was suddenly in chaos and lost the courage to kill the enemy. Running wildly on the battlefield, with weapons in hand, but unable to resist at all.

Zhao Yi was not interested in the soldiers running back and forth, so he did not kill or surrender. Kill the boss and create chaos, just want to break out without any worries. In this panicked, unorganized force to fight back, the Yellow Turban Army did not encounter the slightest resistance, and it didn't take long for Zhao Yi and the others to come to the courtyard where the horses were hidden.

In addition to the 1,500 horses that Zhao Yi brought from Youzhou, nearly 3,000 horses from Huaxiong's department were hidden here.

"Dong Zhuo is really rich, and he has bought so many horses." Zhao Yi praised it, most of his 1,500 horses were captured from the Yellow Turban Army, and there were also horses brought by Yang Yu's 3,000 guards.

The neighing of the horse came from a distance, Zhao Yi turned over and looked up, and saw a large group of people and horses rushing towards the south, and the yellow turbans wrapped around their heads were connected, like a yellow line winding in.

It's the reinforced Yellow Turban Army!

Zhao Yi beckoned to his soldiers: "Hurry up and get on the horse!" ”

Zhao Yi pulled a soldier standing on the ground to his horse, and the two rode together: "There are many people and few horses, and the thin people ride together." Seeing that the soldiers had almost all climbed on their horses, "Hurry up!" ”

Hua Xiong and the others saw the chaos of the Yellow Turban Army and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, just came down from the earthen wall and ran two steps, when they saw Zhao Yi and the others riding horses and leaving here.

"Zhao Yi Xiaoer! I will kill you! Hua Xiong almost turned his back on his anger, grabbed a spear with his backhand, and threw it at Zhao Yi with a loud roar.

Hua Xiong was five hundred steps away from Zhao Yizu, and this distance from the brave Dian Wei couldn't even throw it, let alone Hua Xiong, the spear flew in an arc in the air and was inserted into the ground for more than a hundred steps.

Hua Xiong's reddened eyes stared at Zhao Yi's rapidly shrinking figure, and the soldier next to him reported: "General, the Yellow Turban Thief Cavalry is less than five miles away from me!" ”

Hua Xiong turned his head to look south, and in the flying dust, dense yellow turbans loomed. Running in the wilderness without horses is simply looking for death.

"Go back to the city and set up defenses!" Hua Xiong looked at the direction of Zhao Yi's departure hatefully, and said in his heart that if he didn't die in this catastrophe, he would have to find Zhao Yi to avenge today.

Huaxiong's subordinate had fought fiercely with the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army for half a day, and had already suffered nearly 4,000 casualties. With these troops in his hands, Hua Xiong didn't know how long he could hold on, and the only pillar to support him was Dong Zhuo's reinforcements.

Zhao Yi and the others drove their horses and walked for seven or eight miles, and saw from a distance that the newly arrived Yellow Turban Army surrounded Natu City again, "Looking at the length of the Yellow Turban Thief's army, I'm afraid there will be 20,000 people." Fortunately, we were able to hide quickly, otherwise we would have been entangled by the opposing cavalry, and we would have been in danger. ”

Yang Yu nodded approvingly, if it weren't for Zhao Yi's decisive actions, the consequences would be unimaginable. "But isn't it too righteous for us to leave Hua Xiong and the others there?" After all, many of the horses under his crotch belonged to Hua Xiong, and he grabbed the horses and ran away, causing the entire army of Hua Xiong's department to be wiped out, and he felt a little bad in his heart.

"Righteousness? For people like Hua Xiong and Dong Zhuo, do we still need to preach morality? When Dong Zhuo recommended me to be stationed in Zhou Village, he didn't have a good heart. If I hadn't pulled over his 10,000 troops, I'm afraid we would be the ones who are surrounded now. If we are in the city, he is outside the city. He will never lend a helping hand to us. Zhao Yi snorted. There is a good saying, mercy does not lead soldiers, and righteousness does not raise wealth. A soldier is the way to survive. If you are merciful to your enemies, you will only be hurt. ”

At this time, Lu Zhizheng led the official army to attack Song Liu, and Zhou Village was destined to have someone to resist the thief soldiers. Instead of leaving himself, it is better to leave Huaxiong there.

"Yang Yu has been taught." Yang Yu bowed respectfully. Zhao Yi often said some incisive words in his mouth, soldiers, this is the way to survive, this simple sentence shows the essence of the army, either you die, or I live.

Zhao Yi stared at the direction of Zhou Village: "While calculating others, we must also have the consciousness of being calculated, whether Huaxiong can survive depends on when Dong Zhuo's reinforcements come." ”

"My lord, shall we go back to Guangzong at this time?"

Zhao Yi groped his chin and thought that the direction from which the Yellow Turban Army came was from the south, could it be the reinforcements sent by Qingyun?

"At this time, we have not made an inch, and when we go back, we will be told by Dong Zhuo, saying that we have escaped from the battle. However, judging from the current situation on the battlefield, there is no one in the official army who is in a better position than ours. I want to raid Qingyun. ”
