Chapter Forty-Eight: Attacking the Heart

In this battle, Liu Bei and the three of them won a lot, and the 6,000 Yellow Turban Army were all annihilated. Liu Bei just smiled at Zhang Fei's words and said nothing, how could Zhao Yi be a little resourceful.

Guan Yu was also very happy in this battle, his subordinates suffered fewer losses, and he also received a lot of prisoners, which greatly enhanced his strength. Turning his head and looking in the direction of Wei County: "When we entered the village, we reported this news to Zhao Yi, and according to the distance, Zhao Yi should also arrive at this time." As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, he heard a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"Here we are." Liu Bei greeted Guan Yu and the others, gathered the soldiers and horses together, and waited for Zhao Yi and the others. I only saw that in the endless darkness, there were quite a few figures shaking. Both sides sent fast horses to check each other's identities and make sure that they were correct. The soldiers and horses of both sides were combined into one.

Zhao Yi rode out surrounded by sergeants, and asked Liu Bei and a few people: "Three generals, can things go well?" ”

Liu Bei just wanted to speak, but Zhang Fei replied first: "Smooth, my old Zhang has never fought such an easy battle." If you had gone to Qingzhou with our brothers to support, I am afraid that our army would not have lost so many men that day. "Although Liu Bei won a complete victory in the Qingzhou War, there were less than 2,000 remaining of the 5,000 soldiers in the department, and the rest were supplemented by the Qingzhou Taishou. But who wants to use this kind of recruits, who doesn't want to use veterans who have lived and died with them.

Zhao Yi arched his hand and said modestly: "Yide is too elevated to me, where do I have such great ability." ”

The county guard of Wei County did not follow Zhao Yi here, but only allocated 2,000 soldiers to Zhao Yi. At this time, the three-point coalition army had more than 7,000 people, and the number was far more than the Yellow Turban thieves on the mountain.

The two sides were polite, and Zhao Yi asked: "Have you brought the captive?" ”

Liu Bei and the others nodded, and ordered someone to bring up a few dejected captives: "What is the purpose of Brother Bolai asking these prisoners?" ”

After glancing at the dozen or so captives, Zhao Yi sold a pass: "Brother Xuande will know later." Then he said to the captives: "Go back and tell your generals what happened in the village, and besides, I, Zhao Yizheng, am leading 7,000 soldiers to garrison the foot of the mountain, and I want to fight him to the death. With a wave of his hand, he let the dozen captives go.

These people cautiously took two steps forward, thinking that Zhao Yi and the others would release cold arrows in their backs, and after stepping into the mountain forest, their wildly beating hearts stabilized, and they ran towards the mountain like a whirlwind.

"The most important thing in attacking this kind of cottage is to attack it unprepared, why did Brother Bolai tell the Yellow Turban Army to know?" Liu Bei asked strangely, in this way, the Yellow Turban Army on the mountain will definitely be on guard, and when the time comes, they will encounter organized and premeditated resistance when they rush to kill. The damage to the troops was great. Originally, when Zhao Yi fought against the Yellow Turban Army, he always took the lead by surprise, why did he fight with the Yellow Turban Thieves fairly today? "What morality does Brother Bolai have to say to this kind of thief who kills the people? I'm not afraid that I will encounter enemy resistance when I attack the mountain, but I'm afraid that the other party will get the news and abandon the village and flee. ”

Liu Bei was in a hurry to get angry, but the corners of Zhao Yi's mouth still had a calm smile, as if everything was under control: "Brother Xuande, please rest assured, those thieves can't escape." Surprise snakes can sometimes have unexpected effects. ”

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yi ordered the march and 7,000 soldiers entered the mountains and forests.

At this time, the Yellow Turban camp in the mountains and forests was brightly lit, and the generals and Changyi were standing at the camp gate and waiting, watching the mountain, expecting that the soldiers from the three parties sent out could make some gains. If they can snatch the grain back, they don't have to be afraid of Zhao Yi's army in Wei County.

"It's been two hours, why haven't you heard any movement?" The general was a little uneasy, he had never been so nervous when a soldier went out to plunder things in the past. Today, I feel a little frightened, just because Zhao Yi, who is known as the nemesis, is in Wei County at this time.

Changyi's face was also a little unpleasant, and it wouldn't take so long to deal with those defenseless and timid people. Although he was in turmoil, he was still comforting the general: "Don't panic, lord, maybe they are on their way back at this time." Zhao Yi's troops and horses have not been mobilized, and I don't know that our army will be dispatched today. Although he said this, out of caution, he still let his soldiers wait.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the mountains and forests, and the general's face did not show joy, because anyone could hear it, and the footsteps were not the heavy footsteps produced by the march of the large group of people, but the sound of a few people running in a hurry.

Sure enough, I vaguely saw more than a dozen people running over in embarrassment, dressed in yellow turban army uniforms, covered in blood. These dozen or so people saw that the eyes of the general and Changyi lit up and hurriedly ran over: "Lord, my three teams of soldiers and horses were all annihilated by Zhao Yi's army, and at this moment Zhao Yi's army has arrived at the foot of the mountain. ”

"What?!" The generals and Changyi's faces suddenly showed surprise, and the horsewhips in their hands fell to the ground, "Could it be that Zhao Yi can be unpredictable?" ”

When the Yellow Turban Army in the camp heard the news, their faces were shocked, and they whispered to each other, which was nothing more than discussing what they should do when the official army was coming.

The officers and soldiers were no less than themselves, and they were already at the foot of the mountain, and the generals lost their previous composure, and angrily reprimanded the dozen or so people in front of them: "You brought Zhao Yi here?" ”

These people hurriedly explained that they didn't bring it themselves, but the general didn't wait for them to finish explaining, and killed these people in front of them one by one.

Changyi hurriedly sent soldiers to investigate the movements of Zhao Yi's troops, and said: "Lord, at this moment, our army is in turmoil, and we should retreat as soon as possible." "If the Yellow Turban Army was in its heyday, it could still fight to the death with the official army, but at this time, the Yellow Turban Army had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and the military spirit had been lost, and it was not Zhao Yi's opponent at all at this time, and it could only be a dead end if it fought hard.

The general hated and stuck his long sword on the ground: "Retreat to the bone!" "The retreating road generals and Changyi have explored since they arrived here. The two guessed that they would have to wait until three or five months later, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

Zhao Yi's headquarters at the foot of the mountain was less than four miles away from the Yellow Turban camp, and everyone could clearly see that the series of torches were constantly approaching, and the general took a deep breath: "Hurry up!" ”

This retreat sounded, and the little fighting spirit of the Yellow Turban Army completely dissipated, spreading their legs and running in a hurry. The chaotic scene was less like an organized retreat and more like a rout.

Just as the Yellow Turban Army was retreating in a hurry, they saw that less than a mile away from the rear of their camp, the glowing Kong Ming lantern was rapidly rising under the impetus of the heat.

"Kill!" The oblique spur assassinated a group of men, led by a young general in black rhino armor, followed by a group of well-armored soldiers rushing towards him. The distance was so close that some of the Yellow Turbans didn't react before they were stabbed through the chest with spears.

Nearly a thousand soldiers rushed over and became entangled with the Yellow Turban Army. Most of the Yellow Turbans had lost their fighting spirit, and they were the opponents of Gao Shun's elite troops. Zhao Yi put the prisoners back in order to disturb the morale of the opponent's army, and the chaos of the army's morale and the sudden attack of Gao Shun's troops will definitely defeat the little spirit that the Yellow Turban Army has left.

Watching the Yellow Turban Army fall one by one, the generals and Changyi were stunned, not believing that what they saw in front of them was the truth. This incident proves that the dozen or so Yellow Turban soldiers are not lying, and Zhao Yi was not brought here by them. Because Zhao Yi had already ambushed people in his rear.

Zhao Yi and the others who were marching saw the rising Kong Ming lantern, and the corners of their mouths showed joy: "Gao Shun has succeeded." Then he drew his long sword: "Charge!" ”

Liu Bei and others led the cavalry to rush to the mountain, less than four miles away, the cavalry did not take long to arrive, thousands of people in the field were mixed together, and Gao Shun's troops successfully dragged these Yellow Turban Army.

"I only recognize clothes and not people, kill me!" Zhao Yi shouted, with a wave of the long sword, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the soldiers to rush over, and the addition of this cavalry made the Yellow Turban Army more passive, and many soldiers died under the cavalry spears and knives. With the intervention of the infantry brigade, it became almost a one-sided situation.

The general and Changyi were stabbed in the chest by several spears in the rush, and fell to the ground unwillingly, before he died, Changyi was still wondering why he had discovered that Zhao Yi's troops and horses had no abnormal movements, why so many people suddenly appeared.

In this battle, the combined forces of Zhao Yi and Liu Bei won a complete victory and killed countless enemies. Some of the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, some were escorting the captives down the mountain, the food in the cottage had run out, and the soldiers found a dozen disheveled girls in a wooden house, presumably taken up the mountain by the Yellow Turban Army for the soldiers to play. At this moment, the saved girls burst into tears.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yi led the army back to Wei County, and the county guard personally led the soldiers and civilians in the city to greet him at the city gate, and saw the heads of Zhao Yi's soldiers and horses, as well as the Yellow Turban Army escorted, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Annihilated more than 10,000 Yellow Turban Army in a snap of his fingers, Bolai is really a hero." On behalf of the people of Wei County, I thank you. ”

Especially those people knelt down even more, some of them were still the people who scolded Zhao Yi in front of the camp gate, at this time, these people knelt down and ran to Zhao Yi, slapped themselves twice, and said that they were not human, Zhao Yi had already had the intention to help them annihilate the Yellow Turban Thief, but they insulted in front of the door. Lord Zhao Yi not only punished them, but also gave them steamed buns to eat, which made these people very ashamed.

Zhao Yi got off the horse and picked up an old man with his own hands: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for the insults, if it weren't for your insults, how could the Yellow Turban Thieves be easily fooled." ”

These words made the people even more embarrassed, and they were ashamed and wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

Zhao Yi and others broke the Yellow Turban Army, so that Wei County no longer had bandits, and the Wei County Guard praised Zhao Yi very much. I wanted to stay with Zhao Yi for a few more days, but I was excused by Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi's department was delayed in Wei County for too long, and he had to rush to Yingchuan to fight Huangfu Chong and Zhu Jun.

On the day of leaving the city, thousands of people saw each other off on both sides of the city gate, greeting Zhao Yi to stay in Wei County for a few more days if he returned victorious.

"When did Bolai win so many hearts?" Liu Bei stared at those people, his eyes flashed, and he secretly said that Zhao Yi really had a hand in winning people's hearts. These people are all sincere to each other, and even the prestige of the county guard has been suppressed by Zhao Yi.
