Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Great Thief Army
Genius remembered for a second, "Love โ รท small? Say โ', provide you with wonderful novels to read. Zhao Yi's troops, under the leadership of Dian Wei, attacked the enemy camp like a bamboo, and chiseled into the Yellow Turban Army like a wedge.
The general pulled his horn: "General, break through quickly!" At this time, Dian Wei had already rushed to the point where he was less than a hundred steps away from Zhang Jiao. Looking at the soldiers who keep falling, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop Dian Wei for long.
Under the rush of Zhao Yi's troops, the Yellow Turban Army's side was in turmoil, and they lost the courage to fight and the belief in victory. Zhang Jiao knew he was defeated.
"Who is the commander of the army?" Zhang Jiao now has only this one doubt in his heart, using a shield array to deal with the cavalry impact, this is a very good way, as long as the cavalry impact is frustrated, so that the cavalry's speed advantage cannot be brought into play, and he is surrounded by infantry, the cavalry will be defeated.
There was nothing wrong with the method, but Zhang Jiao didn't expect that the other party would throw two shots in a row, killing and injuring many of his soldiers, and the tragic cry made the army's heart shaken greatly. Coupled with the bravery of the previous general, he actually broke the shield array in front of him in the blink of an eye, causing the Yellow Turban Army, which had a large number of people, to be defeated in a very short time.
Zhang Jiao sighed: "Let's go!" "Turning over his horse, he had to leave behind these many soldiers and flee quickly with a few hundred cavalry.
When Dian Wei and the others rushed to the camp, Zhang Jiao and the others had already run five miles away, the distance between the two sides was too far, and Zhao Yi's war horses were running for more than two hours in succession, and the physical consumption was quite serious, so they could only watch Zhang Jiao escape, but they had no power to chase.
Dian Wei cut down the banner in the camp tent: "It's a pity to let Zhang Jiao escape." โ
Zhao Yi wanted to quickly kill Zhang Jiao to relieve this Yellow Turban Riot, but he was a step too late, which is a pity.
Zhang Jiao stopped in the distance, looking at the slowly falling "Zhang" banner, as if he saw his own decline. His 10,000 soldiers were defeated in less than an hour under the impact of the other party. He laughed self-deprecatingly twice, what kind of elite is this.
"My lord, where shall we go?" The general asked, staring at Qingyun in the distance and swallowing a mouthful of saliva. This battle is estimated that he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
Zhang Jiao took a breath and restrained his emotions of defeat: "Go to Zhou Village." โ
In this battle, Zhao Yi won a complete victory, killing more than 3,000 enemies and capturing more than 5,000 people. Zhao Yi was more satisfied with these soldiers, and his fighting quality was stronger than that of the ordinary Yellow Turban Army.
"My lord, what should we do at this time?" Yang Yu asked, although he defeated Zhang Jiao with fewer victories and more in his surprise attack, he did not kill Zhang Jiao, which basically had no impact on the battle situation.
Zhao Yi stared at the big flag that fell to the ground and touched his chin: "General Dian Wei, you ask the soldiers to put all the captured heads on the saddle, and then hang a head on the big flag, and when we meet the Yellow Turban Army, we will open our throats and shout, 'The traitor Zhang Jiao is dead'." โ
"My lord, we didn't kill Zhang Jiao, we will believe it if we call the Yellow Turban Army like this?" Yang Yu felt that Zhao Yi was thinking too simply.
"There is a big banner here, and then find a soldier's head with a similar face to Zhang Jiao, and cover it slightly with his hair, which can definitely be fake." Zhao Yi finalized the plan.
Yang Yu didn't say much, because Zhao Yi had already given him a lot of surprises along the way. Zhao Yi had never seen Zhang Jiao, but many of the 5,000 soldiers captured had seen Zhang Jiao. Asking someone at random solves the problem.
Zhao Yi wrote a few words on a piece of cloth and wrapped his seal letter in the cloth. General Dian Wei called in front of him: "General Dian Wei, you lead 2,000 soldiers to escort these more than 5,000 Yellow Turban troops to Youzhou, there should be grain and grass in the Zhangjiao camp, and you can take them away together as military rations." โ
"What do you mean, sir?" Dian Wei didn't understand Zhao Yi's approach, and at this time he was in the middle of a battle with Zhang Jiao, but he transferred his troops out, which was a taboo for soldiers.
Zhao Yi carried the banner of Zhang Jiao: "General Dian Wei, time is pressing, you go and do it quickly, and I will explain to you when I return to Youzhou." Leaving Dian Wei and the others here to clean up the battlefield, Zhao Yi took Yang Yu out of Qingyun and quickly went to Song Liu.
Yang Yu couldn't figure out what Zhao Yi was doing: "Could it be that the adults want to swallow those captives privately?" At this time, Zhao Yi had a coalition army in his hands, half of which was the Youzhou army. Since it is two alliances, the benefits should be evenly distributed.
Yang Yu's words made Zhao Yi very unhappy: "Captain Yang, how can I, Zhao Yi, be that kind of person." Do you know what I'm trying to do? I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo will attack us. Zhou Cun Huaxiong had been resisting for a long time, and the troops suffered heavy losses. If you see that we not only defeated Zhang Jiao, but also captured more than 5,000 prisoners. I'm afraid they will fight with us on the spot. โ
"Zhang Jiao has 70,000 people in Song Liu, are you still afraid that there will be no 5,000 captives?" A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth.
"Your Excellency, you're still thoughtful." Yang Yuxin said that it was no wonder that Zhao Yi kept the injured soldiers, but also to pretend to be miserable.
The 40,000 officers led by Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo were engaged in a battle with the Yellow Turban Army at this time against Song Liu, and both sides launched several large-scale charges, both of which suffered heavy casualties.
The two sides had been fighting fiercely for four hours, and the 70,000 Yellow Turban Army was a little unable to hold on under the impact of the elite soldiers of the imperial court, but Lu Zhi also knew that his official army was also approaching the end of the crossbow.
Ordered Dong Zhuo to lead the elite cavalry to the depths of the thief soldiers, wanting to imitate Zhao Yi, and capture the king first before the thief, but Dong Zhuo did not have Dian Wei's bravery, and he did not have heavy armor under his command. After less than 100 steps forward, he was blocked by many Yellow Turban Army, and the spirit of rushing and killing was greatly reduced. Dong Zhuo had no choice but to bring the cavalry back.
His arm was stabbed in the arm by a soldier of the Yellow Turban Army, and blood was pouring out. Dong Zhuo is now anxious, and the 10,000 soldiers of Huaxiong's department have resisted the Yellow Turban Army in Zhou Village for as many as four hours, and they don't know what the casualties are. Before leaving, Dong Zhuo told Huaxiong to try to solve Zhao Yi with the hand of the Yellow Turban Army, and if it couldn't be solved, he should minimize the casualties of the soldiers. But Zhao Yi is extremely smart, and with Huaxiong's intelligence, Dong Zhuo was very worried from the moment he fought.
Lu Zhi was quite calm and flexibly commanded the army, and although the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, it was not enough to fear. "According to this trend, in two or three hours, the Yellow Turban Army will be defeated." Lu Zhi stared at the current battlefield calmly.
At this time, Tanma reported that a group of lightly armed cavalry came from the direction of Qingyun. "The soldiers carried the banners with horns, but the cavalrymen did not have yellow scarves on them." The horses returned, and they didn't know whether this team of people was friend or foe.
Lu Zhi ordered the archers and pikemen to prepare, and if it was an enemy soldier, he would lose half of his men in the first round of charge.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers and soldiers fought together, and the yellow-turbans in distinct armor fought together with the officers and soldiers, and screams were heard one after another.
Zhao Yi walked forward, while ordering his soldiers to shout: "The traitor Zhang Jiao is dead!" The voices of more than 2,000 people in unison shook the heavens and the earth and came from afar.
When the Yellow Turban Army, which was in the middle of the battle, heard this, he looked up and saw the officers and soldiers rushing towards them carrying the banner of the Zhangjiao camp, and a head was hanging on it.
His own leader, the spiritual leader, is actually dead? These Yellow Turban soldiers couldn't believe that after being stunned for such a moment, their necks were cut open by Zhao Yi's team of light horsemen with fast knives.
Zhao Yi led the light cavalry to rush into Lu Zhi's army, bowed down and reported to Lu Zhi: "General, the last general has beheaded Zhang Jiao!" โ
"Good!" Lu Zhi praised and shouted loudly: "The traitor Zhang Jiao is dead, and the army will follow me to destroy the rebels!" โ
These words made the officers and soldiers, who were already exhausted, seem to have suddenly regained their strength, and rushed to kill with a scream. On the other hand, on the side of the Yellow Turban Army, when they heard that the leader was dead, they were like ashes below, and they suffered heavy casualties under the impact of the officers and soldiers.
The Yellow Turban General naturally knew Zhang Jiao's banner, and saw that the head hanging on the flag was very similar to Zhang Jiao's face, and that heart continued to sink, and the morale of the officers and soldiers under his command had been lost, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted.
The general waved his hand and commanded: "Retreat!" As soon as this order was issued, the Yellow Turban Army under his command immediately turned around and retreated, and many people were caught up by the officers and soldiers on the way back and died.
After chasing more than three miles, the distance between the Yellow Turban Army and the official army is getting bigger and bigger. The Yellow Turban general led less than 20,000 remnants of the defeated army and fled south.
Song Liu fell into the hands of the government, and the government won a complete victory, killing more than 20,000 enemies and capturing nearly 30,000. After many days of suppressing bandits, Lu Zhi finally saw the results today, and Lu Zhi looked at Zhao Yi excitedly: "The victory in this battle is a great achievement." "If it weren't for Zhao Yi to bring this exciting news, even if the official army defeated the Yellow Turban Army, it would have lost nearly 10,000 more soldiers.
Dong Zhuo bandaged the wound on his arm and asked, "Where is General Huaxiong?" "Zhao Yi led his troops to appear here, and Hua Xiong, who was also stationed in Zhou Village, should also be here, but Dong Zhuo didn't see it.
Zhao Yi said truthfully: "General Huaxiong is still resisting the thieves in Zhou Village at the moment. "Roughly explained the situation, Hua Xiong was surrounded by yellow turban thieves in Tucheng. In order to boost the morale of the army, he deliberately said that Zhang Jiao was dead.
"Since the general knows that Huaxiong is dangerous, why doesn't he help?" Dong Zhuo snorted. Seeing that there were only more than 2,000 of Zhao Yi's 6,000 soldiers left, and all of them were injured, the churning anger went down a little.
Zhao Yi explained very naturally: "At that time, the 30,000 soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army stormed Tucheng, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army had arrived less than seven miles away from Zhou Village. โ
Lu Zhi glanced at Zhao Yi deeply, generally generals will stay there after receiving orders from their superiors, and they will not retreat without the orders of their superiors. But Zhao Yi is different, he is not bound by orders, but what he thinks is right, even if he disobeys military orders, he will continue to do it. Lu Zhi admired Zhao Yi a lot, and the situation on the battlefield was fleeting and changing rapidly. And it is also inconvenient for the two armies to announce the news, if they rely on asking for instructions to fight, then they will miss a lot of fighters.
At present, there is a lack of generals like Zhao Yi who have military acumen and are good at deploying troops. Lu Zhi had fought with the elite soldiers led by Zhang Jiao in Jizhou, and the strength of the official army was on par with that of the official army. And Zhao Yi led more than 5,000 soldiers to defeat Zhang Jiao's 10,000 elite soldiers, and Zhang Jiao only fled in a hurry with hundreds of cavalry. Zhao Yi's combat command ability is indeed extraordinary.
Compared with Xuande and Bo Jue, this son is even better.
Lu Zhi did not criticize Zhao Yi, but said: "Gather the soldiers and horses and go to Zhou Village quickly!" โ
