"You don't have to be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, I won't kill you. Let me ask you, is your Yellow Turban Army that invaded Zhuo County led by Cheng Yuanzhi? How many of you are there? Yao Jie asked.

The captive hurriedly replied, "My lord is right, our partial division is led by Cheng Da, oh, Cheng Yuanzhi. In total, there were 100,000 horses. ”

Yao Jie couldn't help but be taken aback, he remembered that Cheng Yuanzhi should have 50,000 troops when he committed Zhuojun! Why is there 30,000 more out of thin air now!? Could it be that this captive of the Yellow Turban Army told a lie!

Yao Jie immediately glared and said angrily: "You dare to tell a lie!" Cheng Yuanzhi has only 50,000 people under his command! Come on, drag it down, cut it! ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he immediately grabbed the captive's arm and dragged it out.

"Spare your life! The little one didn't tell a lie! Originally, there were indeed only 50,000 people, but later the great sages and good teachers were worried that the main force of the Han army in the north would directly destroy us, so they added 50,000 more! The captives who were dragged by Guan Yu were so frightened that they begged for mercy.

Yao Jie nodded, that's right, in history, Youzhou's troops were weak, and 50,000 soldiers and horses were more than enough, but now the main force of the Han army is in Youzhou, a whole hundred thousand troops, 50,000 people are estimated to be not enough, Zhang Jiao estimated that he didn't think about blocking the main force of the Han army just by relying on Cheng Yuanzhi's 100,000 people, he should have wanted Cheng Yuanzhi to be able to drag the main force of the Han army as much as possible and buy him time, after all, the Han army was weak at this time, so he was waiting for the main force in the north to come to the rescue.

Yao Jie only has an army of 20,000, but the Yellow Turban Army has 100,000, which is five times that of Yao Jie, the gap between the two sides is very large, Yao Jie doesn't think he can break 100,000 with 20,000, originally the reason why he ran over so actively was because he thought that Cheng Yuanzhi only had 50,000 people, who knew that the other party actually had 100,000, this is embarrassing, don't fight the tiger and suffer from it, so it will be embarrassing, and now Yao Jie is in a dilemma.

"Report to the general, more than 30,000 Yellow Turban traitors are less than thirty miles away from our army!" A scout came to report.

Well, there is no need to think about it now, if his 20,000 officers and soldiers flee without a fight, it will be a lot of fun, and the only 30,000 Yellow Turban Army is not taken seriously by Yao Jie, and even Yao Jie is confident that he will face off against the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army head-on.

"Chuan Ben will order, prepare for battle!"

On the other side, Deng Maozheng, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, walked on the official road with 30,000 Yellow Turban troops, their goal was to plunder grain and grass, and they had obtained nearly 150,000 stone grain and grass along the way.

30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were scattered on the official road and on both sides, the formation was not at all, and every soldier looked weak and listless, among which there were tens of thousands of grain trucks, some of these cars were pulled by mules and horses, but it was obvious that the number of mules and horses was not enough, so some of them were pulled by manpower.

It was said that such a march was very dangerous, but Deng Mao did not care, because in his mind, there was no noteworthy force west of Zhuojun. At this time, Deng Mao was fantasizing about falling into Yi County, catching two beautiful girls and having fun.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry came in a hurry.

"Report to the general, there is a Han army in the north!" These are the same Yellow Turban cavalry that Yao Jie defeated before.

"What, how many of them are there?" Deng Mao grabbed a cavalryman and asked.

"Very, a lot, at least tens of thousands." The Yellow Turban Cavalry said tremblingly.

Deng Mao threw the cavalry to the ground and said, "The Han army is here, ready to fight." ”

The Yellow Turban Army below was confused for a while, and began to line up under the whipping of officers at all levels.

When Yao Jie and the Yellow Turban Army met, the Yellow Turban Army also set up a formation, but this formation looked loose, and the soldiers in the middle were also lazy and lazy, Yao Jie sighed: "It's a pity that the cavalry didn't come, otherwise these rabble would not be crushed at the touch of a button." ”

"Big brother, even if there are no cavalry, these yellow turban thieves will not be in my eyes, let me take the lead in the charge!" Zhang Fei pleased.

Yao Jie carefully observed the yellow scarves and found that they were indeed very bad, so he was careful and no longer reserved: "Zhang Fei listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Order you to be the left wing of our army, lead 5,000 troops, and follow the army to attack!"

"Order!"

"Guan Yu listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"Order you to be the right wing of our army, lead 5,000 troops, and follow the army to attack!"

"No!"

Yao Jie quickly arranged various matters, and after seeing the Yellow Turban Army, he didn't think about defending at all, but took the initiative to attack.

"The rest of the army will follow the general to attack!"

Although Yao Jie's army was also in the battle formation, they were not afraid, and after hard training, they naturally did not take the group of farmers on the opposite side who had just put down their hoes.

"All the troops are attacking!" A war drum sounded, and Yao Jie took the lead in launching an attack on the Yellow Turban Army.

Faced with this situation, the formation of the Yellow Turban Army was chaotic on the spot, and they didn't know what measures to take at all.

"Don't mess around! Hurry up and line up for Lao Tzu and prepare to fight! Deng Mao, who was in the center, shouted anxiously.

However, the quality of the Yellow Turban Army was low, and it was impossible to line up the formation as Deng Mao wished.

"Boom!" 20,000 Han troops rushed into the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop, and the Yellow Turban Army was in a mess, some people wanted to pick up arms and fight thousands of battles, while others wanted to escape, and for a time there were officers shouting and scolding everywhere.

Yao Jie, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led the charge like three arrows, and there was no enemy in the Yellow Turban Army.

By Yao Jie's side, an ugly man with a double halberd also attracted special attention, where he passed, the Yellow Turban Army was killed and wounded, but the ugly man was not greedy for war, but An An followed Yao Jie's side in parts, rushed with him, and helped him block the hidden arrows everywhere.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army continued to retreat, but the soldiers of the Han Army became more and more courageous, looking at this group of Han troops who were not afraid of death, the Yellow Turban Army collapsed, and countless people put down their weapons and turned around and ran.

As the commander-in-chief, Deng Mao saw the collapse of the whole army, and knew in his heart that it was impossible to turn the tide of the war, so he fled east in panic under the protection of his personal guards.

How could Yao Jie let him run away like this, and immediately led the guards to hurry up. didn't chase far, Yao Jie rode the black wind to take the lead and approached Deng Mao, Deng Mao saw that Yao Jie was big, and he caught up alone, so he ordered his own soldiers to turn around and kill Yao Jie.

Deng Mao's personal soldiers immediately waved their knives and rushed towards Yao Jie, Yao Jie held a chiseled golden tiger head gun, and swept the three personal soldiers out with a sweeping army, and the three of them were sunken in their chests, spurting blood from their mouths, obviously not alive, and the remaining 20 or so personal soldiers were also afraid when they saw this, but they didn't have time to turn around, so they could only bite the bullet, and they all died under Yao Jie's gun.

At this time, Yao Jie's personal guards also chased after him, and Dian Wei, who had never been good at riding horses, found a horse from nowhere to catch up.

Seeing this, Deng Mao turned his head and ran, Yao Jie took the bow and arrow from his own soldiers, and shot Deng Mao off the horse with only one arrow, and the arrow pierced out of Deng Mao's throat.

Several pro-soldiers stepped forward to cut off Deng Mao's head and sent it to Yao Jie, Yao Jie immediately ordered someone to keep it, this head is useful! Dedication to the imperial court depends on this thing.
