Chapter 68: The Battle of Zhili Ends

"Cavalry, what about cavalry? Order the cavalry to charge the Han army and scatter them! Bocai, who was carried by the rout and kept retreating, finally remembered the biggest hero in the battle tonight.

"Tell Qu Shuai, the cavalry also suffered heavy losses before, and because they didn't get your order, they didn't pursue it at the first time!" A pro-soldier reported back.

Listening to the words of the pro-soldiers, Bo Cai was obviously anxious, at this moment, a sound of horses' hooves came, and a group of cavalry in yellow clothes and yellow armor appeared in the distance, these cavalry were all covered in blood, Bo Cai was overjoyed, and ordered: "Order the cavalry to charge the official army immediately!" But soon, the joy on Bocai's face was gone.

It turned out that there were less than a thousand cavalry left, and without the protection of horseshoes, the horses were easily injured in the chaotic situation of attacking the camp, and the training of the Yellow Turban cavalry was not good, and there were no stirrups and saddles, so the casualties were even greater.

"Order the army not to stop, chase down the ass of the Yellow Turban Army!" Yuan Shao said viciously, and he couldn't care about the words at the moment after suffering a big defeat.

Facts have proved that Yuan Shao's strategy is correct, this mountain is full of fleeing Yellow Turban Army, those Yellow Turban Army cavalry can not charge at all, if the cavalry can't raise the speed, I am afraid that the infantry will only be slaughtered.

Sure enough, more than 20,000 Han troops rushed through, leaving only more than 1,000 lonely war horses in place.

Seeing that the cavalry was completely annihilated, Bocai could no longer care about commanding resistance, he knew that these routs had been frightened, and even if he stayed, he would not be able to reorganize them, so he had to flee with the rout.

"Kill! Protect Qu Shuai! "A Yellow Turban army of about 20,000 men appeared from afar and slaughtered the official army, which was led by Peng Tuo and left behind to annihilate the remnants of the enemy.

The number of the two sides was about the same, and the Yellow Turban Army was also a new victory, with high morale, and launched a hedge with the official army.

"Boom!" The red and yellow torrents collided fiercely, and the yellow torrent was obviously a little shaky.

The soldiers of the Han army under the leadership of several fierce generals killed the Yellow Turban Army and retreated, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun led the charge and entered the Yellow Turban Army, as if entering no one's land, which greatly hit the morale of these Yellow Turban Army, and countless Yellow Turban Army were killed by the Han Army, and the huge casualties greatly stimulated these Yellow Turban Army. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army soon collapsed.

"Don't run, your soul is faint, give Ben will go back!" Peng Tuo killed several deserters in the rear and shouted loudly.

For a while, many soldiers who were about to flee were shocked.

"Whew!" Peng took off his head subconsciously, and a feather arrow quickly pierced his helmet, flying out of his helmet, and Peng Tuo also fell off his horse, his head scattered, and he looked like a bum.

Xiahoudun in the distance snorted coldly and put away his bow and arrow, this bow was just picked up by him on the road, and the quality was not good, otherwise Peng Tuo would not have been as simple as being shot in the helmet.

Originally, some of the Yellow Turban soldiers saw Peng Tuo and others coming, and were ready to turn around and resist the officers and soldiers with them, but they didn't expect them to collapse so quickly, these soldiers looked at each other with each other, and then threw down their weapons and ran.

20,000 people chased after more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops, beating the Yellow Turban Army like ducks and retreating for more than 30 miles, until dawn, when the exhausted Han soldiers stopped the pursuit, found a place to fall asleep.

On the other side, after Bocai collected the rout, the number of people counted was only more than 60,000, and more than 30,000 people were killed by the counterattacking Han army, thousands died from trampling, more than 10,000 people died from attacking the camp, and more than 30,000 people were captured by the order of Cao Yuan and the others who reacted later, and the remaining tens of thousands of people fled directly.

Looking at the remaining 60,000 demoralized remnants of the defeated generals, Bo Cai could only reluctantly order a retreat, so far, the battle of Zhili is completely over, the Yellow Turban Army won first and then defeated, the Han army also suffered heavy losses, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao only had more than 8,000 people left, fortunately, they also captured 30,000 prisoners, but in a short period of time, the two of them definitely did not look at them to fight their original old club, so they were unable to pursue in a short period of time and expand the results.

Zhao Rong, Feng Fang, and Xia Mu learned that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Chun Yuqiong had turned defeat into victory, and they also returned to the camp one after another after dawn, but their armies were all gone, so they could only return to Luoyang with the five thousand captives that Yuan Shao had allocated to them, and the remaining Cao Cao was also assigned eight thousand prisoners, Chun Yuqiong had five thousand, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were all absorbed by Yuan Shao.

"Lord, most of the 8,000 captives that Yuan Shao gave us are old, weak, sick and disabled, and only half of them are young and strong!" The battle of Cao Ying, Cao Ren reported to Cao Cao.

"Hmph, this Yuan Shao really didn't press the kindness!" Xiahou scolded angrily.

On the other hand, Cao Cao had an expected expression, "Our army has already been exhausted, and it is already good that Yuan Shao can give us so much, select the young and strong, plus the previous thousand people to train, and soon we will have another 5,000 troops!" Cao Cao is worthy of being Cao Cao, but the huge setback for others is nothing in his eyes, even if his family is all gone, Cao Cao does not show reluctance.

"Let's go down to train the troops, and when General Zhu Junzhonglang and General Huangfu Zhonglang arrive with their troops, our army will launch an attack on Bocai, and this time is to train the troops! In addition, no one shall complain about this, and those who violate the order shall be beheaded! Cao Cao said to Xiahoudun and others, he didn't want to affect his relationship with Yuan Shao now, although Yuan Shao's appearance was really ugly, he was already a little carried away, and he didn't remember that if he didn't Cao Cao persuade Yuan Shao to fight back, I am afraid that he Yuan Benchu would have been driven into Luoyang by now.

"We will obey the military orders!" After saying this, the generals were ordered to withdraw from the tent.

——————————————

At the same time, Zhuo County, "Dong Dong Dong", the drum sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our army has been resting for more than two months, and at present, the North Zhonglang General has beaten the Yellow Turban Thief to the first corner and retreated, and the Left Zhonglang General and the Right Zhonglang General have also led the troops to Yingchuan, preparing to encircle and suppress Bocai, and the time to make contributions has come again, and the general has ordered that the army will go south to Guangzong early tomorrow morning." Yao Jie knew that Zhang Liang died in Guangzong in history, but now Zhang Jiao did not die of illness, he is still leading 300,000 Yellow Turban Army, but coincidentally, Yao Jie studied Zhang Jiao's retreat route and found that he actually retreated to Guangzong, so Yao Jie is ready to lead the troops and Lu Zhi to eat the main force of the Yellow Turban, and then the rest of the Yellow Turban will not be worried. Will there be a big break?
