Chapter 61: The Battle of Zhili III

In a camp 100 miles away from the Cao Army and the Yellow Turban Army, Feng Ji said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, if there is chaos today, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty has run out of energy, and I hope that the Duke will make plans as soon as possible!" ”

"Yuan Tu is reasonable, now the Han family is immoral, this time the Yellow Turban rebels swept the country is enough to explain everything, and in order to quell the rebellion, Your Majesty let all localities organize their own counterinsurgency, and the strength of officials and heroes around the country has increased greatly, and the Yellow Turban rebels are just a disease of moss, and the reason why they can succeed is just to catch the big man off guard, and when the big Han frees his hand to be easily pacified, when the time comes, I'm afraid that officials everywhere will have different intentions!" It was Guo Tu who spoke, with the prestige of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao easily recruited most of his original historical team, and at this time Yuan Shao had not yet completely succeeded, so his advisers were still relatively united, rather than stumbling on each other as they did later.

"Hmph, are you trying to trap your own officials in injustice?" Yuan Shao snorted coldly, he Yuan Benchu himself also understood this truth, although he left a reputation for being indecisive in history, but he himself was also very good at strategy.

"My lord, although the words of Yuan Tu and the public rules are excessive, they are not unreasonable, I hope the lord will make a decision as soon as possible!" Judge the way.

"Well, no need to say more!" But Yuan Shao's next sentence exposed his ambition, "Although the chaos of the Han Dynasty has appeared, after all, Yu Wei still exists, and now is not the time!" ”

Although this sentence was whispered, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Juan Pei and others heard it, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they all understood their lord's thoughts.

"Lord, then Cao Mengde is not simple, does our army want to slow down the trip?" Feng Ji asked, obviously trying to weaken Cao Cao's strength, and it was best to get rid of it with the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

"It's not proper, now the eyes of the whole world are focused on Zhili, if our army deliberately slows down the trip, causing the Yellow Turban Army to go further, then we will not be able to explain to Luoyang! Besides, Cao Apu is not in the eyes of me Yuan Benchu. Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment and said, what he didn't know was that in history, his great cause was ruined in the hands of Cao Apu, who was not taken seriously by him.

The next day, the Yellow Turban soldiers, who had spent the night in exhaustion, had to obey Bocai's orders and assemble to prepare to attack Cao's camp.

"Last night, the officers and troops attacked the camp, and our entire 200,000 people were defeated by his thousands of men! This is a great shame, my Yellow Turban army has never suffered such a defeat since it followed the great sage and good master to raise troops (the news of Cheng Yuanzhi's defeat has not yet arrived.) Now, the enemy who humiliated our army is in front, and they have less than 10,000 men, so pass on the order of the commander, and the whole army will attack, and take the head of the Han general Cao Mengde to meet me! Bocai yelled in front of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Kill!" With the orders of the generals at all levels of the Yellow Turban Army, the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army surrounded the Cao army camp and launched an attack from all directions!

"Resist, don't let the Yellow Turban Army climb up, quick, the rolling stone radium wood will fall down, and the archers will release the arrows!" On the wooden wall, Cao Ren constantly commanded the soldiers to defend, although the battle last night hit the Yellow Turban Army hard, greatly improving the morale of the army, but it also completely drove Bo Cai crazy, looking at this, Bo Cai was ready to ignore the casualties, vowing to break through the Cao army camp.

"Bang!" A Yellow Turban soldier with a shield and a ladder that kept climbing up was smashed down by a rolling stone, and the ladder that had been injured for a long time was accompanied by a "click" sound to directly stop this section, and several Yellow Turban soldiers on it fell directly from the air to the ground, bleeding from their mouths and noses, but no one cared about them, and soon, another ladder was erected in this place, and groups of Yellow Turban soldiers continued to climb up.

Fortunately, the Cao army camp is not particularly large, and thousands of soldiers only defend it, but the Cao army is not without casualties, and the crossbowmen of the Yellow Turban Army are constantly suppressing the defenders on the wall, providing cover for the attacking Yellow Turban Army.

On the wall, a Cao soldier had just raised the radium wood and was about to smash it, an arrow penetrated his throat, the soldier fell backwards, and he didn't even know that the radium wood was smashed on his body, his hands tightly grasped the arrow stuck in his neck, blood kept pouring out of his mouth, nose and wounds, and his throat made a burst of leaking sound, and then there was no sound.

At the same time, a Yellow Turban soldier climbed the wall with a knife and then swung his knife at Cao Jun, but before he could take a few steps forward, he was stabbed in the chest by several spears at the same time, and several Cao soldiers pushed him down to the edge of the wall, and his men used force to knock him off the wall.

But as time went by, the rolling stones and radium wood in the Cao army's camp continued to decrease, and even the arrows began to be missing, coupled with several hours of hard fighting, the Cao army on the wall also suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the rest of the people resisted more and more difficult.

Finally, a Yellow Turban Army climbed the wall, brandished a knife and hacked to death a Cao soldier who came up, and more and more Yellow Turban soldiers also climbed up behind him, and other Cao soldiers also noticed this scene, but they didn't have time to stop it, and the Yellow Turban Army climbed up one after another on the wall of the wall, forming a battle circle.

The climbing Yellow Turban Army made up for the losses on the city wall, and the Cao army was defeated due to its small numbers.

"All the cavalry dismount, take up arms and follow me up the wall!" Cao Hong said to the remaining more than a thousand cavalry.

These cavalrymen did not say much, they took up their weapons one after another, and climbed the wall one after another.

"Kill!" Xiahoudun took the lead, waving the spear in his hand constantly, there was no enemy around him, and in just a few minutes, more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers fell under his spear.

Cao Hong also joined the battle group with a broadsword, and with the addition of a new force, Cao's army gradually stabilized its position, and launched a local counteroffensive, recapturing many walled walls.

"Quick! Hurry up! The officers and soldiers can't do it, and rush in with all their might! Bocai continued to wield his saber and commanded.

The wooden walls are densely covered with yellow turban soldiers.

"Bell!" Several Yellow Turban soldiers rushed towards Cao Hong at the same time, and several big knives slashed at Cao Hong, who took them with horizontal knives, and shouted at the same time, "Ah! The muscles on his arms were exposed, and the muscles were tense, and he lifted all the weapons of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and at the same time, swept through the thousands of troops with one move, and the big knife slashed through the chest of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and a pool of blood appeared, and several Yellow Turban soldiers fell backwards at the same time.

Cao Hong didn't stop, brandishing a big knife and continuing to fight, "Ding! Cao Hong split the weapons of several Yellow Turban soldiers with a knife, kicked a Yellow Turban soldier close to him and flew out, the Yellow Turban soldier fell directly under the city, and then Cao Hong rushed into the Yellow Turban Soldier Group, the big knife waved left and right, raising pieces of blood mist, the nearby Yellow Turban soldiers were killed by it and kept retreating, and several were stupid on the spot, jumping directly from the wall.
