Chapter 80: The Burning of the Long Society

Although Bocai attacked Changshe many times, he was repelled by the Han army under the command of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses! In desperation, Bocai had no choice but to confront Bocai in the long society.

In the blink of an eye, the time has passed the fifth year of Guanghe, and it has entered the beginning of the sixth year of Guanghe, Yao Jie, who is far away in Tangyang, looked at the heavy snow outside, and couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, I am afraid that the first New Year that has passed through will not be able to return to Youbeiping.

Due to the cold weather in winter, the Han army and the Yellow Turban army chose a truce one after another, turning into a confrontation. In the blink of an eye, Bocai and Huangfu Song have been facing each other for more than four months, during this time the world has changed dramatically, first Dong Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo because of the cold weather, ordered the soldiers to storm Guangzong City, the Han soldiers who lacked winter clothes had to tremble in the cold wind with cold weapons to attack, and although the Yellow Turban Army also lacked winter clothes, they were defenders after all, and there was a strength advantage, the pressure was greatly reduced, but they took this opportunity to kill the Han army under the city wall of Guangzong, so that it was only five days, The Han army lost more than half of its casualties under the severe cold and the arrows of the Yellow Turban Army, while the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army were negligible.

In the end, the morale was low, and the Han army, which had lost the spirit of war, was crushed under the surprise attack of more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops under the personal command of Zhang Liang, and only a few thousand people were left to withdraw, and Dong Zhuo was deposed to Tingwei for trial and sentenced to "commutation of the death penalty of the first class"!

Yao Jie, who got the news for the first time, also immediately waved his troops south to prepare for the final battle with the Yellow Turban Army.

Changshe City, Zhu Jun stood at the head of the city, looking at the Yellow Turban Army camp stretched more than ten miles away, his face showed a sad look, it has been four months, and it is about to enter May (in fact, the solar calendar has entered the end of May, but at that time it was the lunar calendar), but he still didn't think of a way to defeat Bocai.

"Huh!" Suddenly, Zhu Jun sighed lightly, he seemed to have made a discovery, and after a while, Zhu Jun laughed and said: "God really helps me, there is hope for breaking the enemy!" ”

It turned out that the grass grew very vigorously in May and June (the solar calendar), and the big camp of the idiot of Bocai was set up next to a meadow, and some of the camp tents were directly planted on the grass.

"Gongwei, have you really thought about it? Fire attack is certainly possible, but it must be available at the right time, in the right place, and in the right people! Huangfu Song said worriedly.

"Yizhen, this geographical and harmonious people are already available, I am only short of time!" Zhu Jun said confidently.

On this day, the northwest wind happened to blow, Zhu Jun was overjoyed and ordered: "Prepare!" ”

In the Yellow Turban camp, the Yellow Turban Army, which had been facing each other for several months, did not expect that the Han army would launch an attack at this time, in fact, Bocai's food and grass began to run out.

"Yizhen, you lead the troops to ambush in the direction of Nanyang to prevent Bocai from converging with Zhang Mancheng, and send a few more teams of soldiers and horses to block the other directions, and I will personally lead the troops to pursue Bocai after the fire!" Zhu Jun ordered, this time even Huangfu Song is willing to be commanded by him, who let him come up with a plan!

At the gate of Changshe City, hundreds of ploughing cattle were gathered together, their tails tied with hay, followed by hundreds of Han soldiers who were in charge of lighting the fire, and the ploughing cattle roared a few times from time to time, as if they also felt uneasy.

"Ignition!" Zhu Jun ordered.

The hay on the tails of hundreds of ploughing cattle was ignited, and one by one they rushed forward in a frenzy, and the Han soldiers in charge of lighting the fire hurriedly retreated into the city, joking, the cattle that had gone crazy did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and if they were hit, they would be half crippled.

The Han soldiers who had been lying in ambush near the Yellow Turban Barracks also fired rockets one after another, setting fire to the hay near the Yellow Turban Barracks, and hundreds of ploughing cattle rushed into the Yellow Turban Barracks in a blink of an eye.

"Fire Bull Formation!" Hearing the sound of going out to check, Bo saw hundreds of ploughing cattle rushing in, a sea of fire nearby, and instantly shouted, the entire Yellow Turban military camp has been set in chaos, many soldiers' clothes have been set on fire, and many people are so frightened by the fire cattle that they even crawl backwards and run away, the situation is in chaos, countless Yellow Turban soldiers died in trampling and burning, but few were killed by fire oxen.

"The whole army attack, don't let go of a traitor!" Zhu Jun shouted angrily.

"Kill!" Seeing the Yellow Turban barracks in chaos, the eyes of those Han soldiers were red, this is a ready-made military feat.

Before Bocai had time to stabilize the situation, he heard the shouts of killing outside, and knew that the general trend had gone, so he could only lament and hurriedly fled under the protection of his own guards, and the Yellow Turban Army who stayed in the camp was unlucky.

The first to rush in was the cavalry of the 3,000 Han Army, these cavalry rushed through the camp of the Yellow Turban Army like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and scattered the Yellow Turban Army who were fleeing in all directions, and the spears in their hands continued to stab the back of the Yellow Turban Army, and the results were countless for a while.

Soon the Han infantry also rushed up, and the rest of the Yellow Turban Army generals all ran away, no one commanded them to maintain order, a chaotic Yellow Turban Army where to stop the charge of more than 10,000 Han troops, soon was killed scattered and fled, the Han Army was unforgiving, took advantage of the situation to cover up, the Han army ambushed around also killed, stopped these Yellow Turban Army fleeing in a hurry, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army was killed all over the field, blood flowed like a river, and so Zhu Jun's army completely defeated them, they all laid down their arms and surrendered.

And Bocai became a lost dog, in that situation, he couldn't care about others at all, and only fled with 5,000 guards around him, and collected the rout along the way, and the number of people exceeded 10,000.

"Huangfu Song has been waiting here for a long time!" Just when Bo Cai was panicking, he only heard a veteran on a nearby hill shouting.

Then the arrows fell, the Yellow Turban Army suffered countless casualties, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was already a rout, was in chaos again, and the Han army also took advantage of the situation to rush down.

"Quick, rush over!" Bo Cai remembered shouting, fortunately, his personal guards still maintained order, protecting him from rushing left and right, and finally fought a bloody way, Huangfu Song knew that the five thousand people were the elite of Bo Cai's side, and the number of troops on his side was only comparable to them, and it was difficult to eliminate them, so he had to order to stop the pursuit.

After the war, Zhu Jun counted the results of the battle and found that except for more than 40,000 of Bocai's more than 100,000 troops, the rest of the army was wiped out, and nearly 50,000 of them were taken prisoner.

"The Chuan Ben will order that all these captives be put to death!" Zhu Jun, who was already violent, naturally would not be merciful, these 50,000 captives were deceived into the urn city by him, and the captives who had been hungry for three days fell under the rain of arrows of the Han army on the city wall in the shouts of food, and these prisoners who had laid down their weapons were deceived into this one by one, and finally all were killed, and the corpses were moved out and buried in a large pit, becoming a famous mass grave, even after a few years, no one dared to approach.
