Chapter 6: Night Raid
Full of wine and food, Mu Yi returned to his barracks.
Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, and ten soldiers under Mu Yi saw Mu Yi coming back, and they surrounded him one after another.
"My lord is really a hero in the world, and saving the queen is a great achievement!"
"Hehehe...... Adults, when you are developed, you must bring a small ......."
……
For some reason, the siege of the Yellow Turban Thieves was extremely fierce the next day, and several times they actually attacked the city.
Repelling a wave of Yellow Turban thieves, Mu Yi endured the stench in the air, walked up to Huangfu Song and saluted: "General, the weather is hot, and some corpses under the city have decomposed, so they must be disposed of as soon as possible." Otherwise, it will cause a plague. ”
Hearing the word "plague", Huangfu Song's face also changed.
"The two sides are fighting, so there is time to dispose of the corpses! Do you kid have a way? ”
Mu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Since it can't be buried, burn it with fire oil and other things, first order people to pour fire oil and throw firewood and grass under the city, and wait for the thieves to attack the city and ignite it, not only can you dispose of the corpses, but also stop the thieves from attacking the city."
Huangfu Song nodded: "Hmm! Yes, according to your words. ”
County office
Queen He sat at the head of the bed in a daze, sometimes angry, sometimes shy, sometimes smiling.
After a long time, Empress He asked a maid, "Where is Mu Yi who escorted the palace into the city last night?"
"Back to the queen's mother, Mu Yi is fighting the Yellow Turban Thieves at the head of the city."
"Huh? Did the thieves attack the city? ”
The maid nodded: "These days, the yellow turban thieves are attacking the city day by day......"
The maid told the things of the past few days, and on a whim, she actually told Mu Yi about the fighting generals before the battle a few days ago, and after her narration, she spoke eloquently. And there was a look of adoration on his face.
If it was a palace maid in the palace, she would definitely not talk so much.
Queen He didn't seem to be dissatisfied, but listened to it with relish, and asked about Mu Yi vigorously.
In the days that followed, the weather became hotter and hotter day by day, and the siege battle lasted for a month under the scorching sun.
Because Empress He was in the city, for the safety of the queen, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun took turns guarding the city. No matter how insulting the city was, the officers and soldiers simply refused to defend the city.
The more this battle is fought, the more aggrieved the people on both sides become. The officers and soldiers were besieged in the city, and the Yellow Turban thieves could not attack for a long time, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
The weather in May is extremely hot, the sun is blazing, and the earth seems to be burning.
In order to alleviate the heat, the Yellow Turban thieves set up countless canopies with straw.
And the emperor at the head of the city saw this, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The thieves retreated to the camp to rest, and immediately a horse galloped in.
The horses galloped, kicking up a cloud of dust. On the war horse, a Han sergeant came to the city gate and shouted to the city: "The imperial court reinforcements have arrived, open the city gate quickly!"
At the head of the city, Huangfu Song heard the words and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate and let him enter the city, and the archers will prepare to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to enter the city."
"No!"
In a short time, the soldier was taken to the city.
As soon as the soldier saw Huangfu Song, he immediately gave a military salute: "See the general!"
"Hmm~ Where are the imperial court reinforcements? Who is the commander? How many soldiers and horses are there? Huangfu Song asked as he stared at the soldier with burning eyes.
"Back to the general's words, the reinforcements are stationed in the mountains and forests ten miles away, with a total of 2,000 cavalry, and the commander of the army is the new cavalry captain Cao Cao."
Huangfu Song frowned, Cao Cao He had also heard that Cao Cao's character Mengde, his grandfather Cao Teng was a eunuch and raised his father Cao Song.
At the age of twenty, Cao Cao was promoted to "filial piety" by the state and county, and then promoted to "Luoyang Northern Guard".
The young Cao Cao always wanted to make some merits, and as soon as he rose, he would rectify the yamen. And hang five-color sticks at the entrance of the yamen.
Later, he was young and vigorous, and beat the ten permanent servants with a five-colored stick, so he could only abandon the official and flee back to his hometown.
After returning to his hometown, his father Cao Song spent money to get a relationship and bought Cao Cao an official position of "Yilang". Not long after, he abandoned his official position again and returned to his hometown.
Originally, Cao Cao already felt that he could only do nothing in this life, but who would have thought that Zhang Jiao would actually engage in a "Yellow Turban Uprising", which made Cao Cao see a glimmer of hope.
So he hurriedly sent the money away and got the official position of "riding the captain". It happened that Huangfu Song asked for help, and Cao Cao led his troops to support Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song pondered for a moment and said in his heart: "Another one who came to pick up credit!"
"Tell Cao Mengde, let him rest in place, always pay attention to the situation of the thief camp tonight, and once he sees the thief camp on fire, he will attack immediately!"
"Whoa!"
Standing behind Huangfu Song, Mu Yi's heart tightened, he couldn't imagine that he would see Cao Cao soon? When you meet Cao Cao, do you want to eat with him?
After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Yi still dispelled this idea. In the future, Cao Cao's generals are like clouds, and there are more cattle such as Guo Fengxiao, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, etc., who can't mix up at all, and maybe they will be killed by Cao Cao, who is good at suspicion.
Soochow Sun Quan? Mu Yi also likes it, that kid is not a good bird. But those who have merit and strength will not end well.
Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and all cattle people will all die when they run out, this kind of person is too dangerous, and he will not have any future with him, and he will lose his life if he doesn't do it.
Liu Bei? Well? Compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, it is still good. But the current Liu Bei is not famous. With him now, he has no good life, and it is too difficult to realize his dream of having a group of wives and concubines, sleeping until he wakes up naturally, counting money and counting his hands to cramps.
……
At dusk, after dinner, Mu Yi sat in the barracks and installed arrows in his repeater.
Some of his men were sharpening their knives, while others were examining their bows and arrows.
"What's the chief, is there really a battle tonight?" The monkey asked, inserting the sharpened knife into the scabbard.
Mu Yi nodded: "Yes, check your weapons, two days ago, I made a few sets of armor with bamboo chips, and you will wear them under your clothes for a while, plus the wooden armor issued by the military camp, it will be safer when you start fighting." As long as you don't encounter the master of the thief army, ordinary knife and gun attacks should not hurt you. ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... What a good thing is it to us!"
Mu Yi looked at Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao: "You and you are from the Yellow Turban, if you don't want to go, you can tell General Huangfu about it."
Zhou Cang hugged his fists: "A certain Zhou Cang joined the yellow scarf is also forced by life, since he has followed the adult, no matter where the adult goes in the future, he will swear to the death!" Whoever an adult wants to beat, he will hit whoever he wants......"
Pei Yuanshao patted his chest and said, "Me too!"
Mu Yi got up and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, follow so-and-so, I don't dare to guarantee that you will be waiting for the general, but you can still do it without worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime." Okay, check your weapons and get some sleep while it's still time. ”
"Whoa!"
At the third watch, tens of thousands of troops were assembled, ready to charge at any time.
At the head of the city, more than a dozen cowhide drums are lined up. Two hundred dead men climbed down the wall along the ropes. Everyone was carrying a dozen torches, carrying the things that ignited the fire, and took advantage of the night to touch the Yellow Turban Thieves' camp.
Yellow Turban Bandit Barracks
It was originally a group of peasants, and the yellow turban thieves standing guard at the entrance of the camp leaned on the hook fence of the camp and dozed off.
In the silence of the night, two black figures approached quietly.
Before the two yellow turban thieves could react, their mouths were covered from behind, and a sharp blade cut their throats.
However, the next moment, torches lit up around the camp, and two hundred men threw out their torches.
Ten torches for one man, two thousand for two hundred. Two thousand torches were thrown into the camp, and although only a small part fell on the roof, the night wind blew, and the barracks made of straw and tree skills burned even more vigorously.
The fire borrows the wind, and the wind fuels the fire. It didn't take long for the night sky to be lit up by monstrous flames.
The sleeping Yellow Turban Thieves were trapped in the fire, and the screams kept ringing out.
"It's out of water...... Walked the water......"
Someone banged the gong and screamed hysterically.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Bo Cai hurriedly ran out with a spear in his hand, looking at the barracks that were on fire everywhere: "Don't panic, recruit brothers, and prepare to fight!"
The city gates were wide open, tens of thousands of troops swarmed out, and the sound of trumpets and war drums shook the sky, and even ten miles away could be heard clearly.
Mu Yi ran the slowest with his two brothers, and it was a yellow croaker. How so? Slip away!
Tie Zhu asked puzzledly, "My lord, should we hurry up and rush with the army?"
Mu Yi said disapprovingly: "Rush a fart, there are tens of thousands of thieves, and the archers must shoot at the densely populated places first, if you want to kill the enemy, you must ensure your own safety, understand?"
As if to confirm Mu Yi's statement, a wave of arrows rained down all over the sky, and suddenly someone fell to the ground screaming.
"Look, what's going on? Remember, follow so-and-so, so-and-so will be able to protect your life. Under a certain subordinate, remember that all actions are under command, and those who are good at acting on their own can not care whether they live or die. ”
Tens of thousands of troops slaughtered into the thief camp, swords and guns collided, Jin Ge resonated, shouting to kill the heavens......
As soon as Bo Cai saw that the general situation was gone, he was also decisive, and with 200 personal soldiers, he packed up some looted property and escaped from the camp from the west.
The words were divided into two ends, Cao Cao hid in the mountains and forests and always paid attention to the thief camp, and when he saw the fire, the drum sound of "dong dong" came from Changshe City, and he did not hesitate to order to rush and kill.
As a result, halfway through, he met Bocai who escaped from the camp.
The two sides fought hard, and under the cover of his own soldiers, Bo Cai turned around and fled alone.
In a small forest in the north of the camp, Mu Yi let his subordinates scatter and hide their shapes.
"My lord, why don't we rush in and fight?"
"Just a dozen of us rushed in to take an egg, and after a while, someone in the camp escaped, we took it and picked it up, don't make any noise, pay attention to the surroundings!"
"Whoa!"
……
Bocai was really unlucky, as soon as he left the camp, he encountered a group of cavalry, and his own soldiers desperately covered it, and finally got rid of the pursuers.
It's a pity that there are officers and soldiers everywhere, but there are no officers and soldiers in the back mountain, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, so you can only abandon your horse and walk.
Mu Yi and the others who were hiding in the woods saw that someone was fleeing towards this side, and they immediately cheered up.
Bocai fled into a small forest, and while running, he looked back, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left hand and scolded: "Mother~, dog officers and soldiers, all the wealth that Lao Tzu worked so hard to grab is gone...... Wait, when Lao Tzu regrouped, he will definitely kill a chicken and dog in Changshe City!"
