Chapter 75: Ambush halfway

"Lord, I'm back, and I've brought a large group of men and horses here." After a few days, Ling Cao came back and said happily.

"A brigade?" Zhang Yu was studying the situation in the tent, and suddenly asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Zhicai trained 5,000 people, and let me bring 3,000 here." Ling Cao said happily.

"What? So many, three thousand soldiers and horses? ”

When Zhang Yu heard this, he stood up in surprise and asked excitedly.

"That's right, it's 3,000 soldiers and horses, but they have only completed basic training, and there is no way to compare with the previous veterans." Ling Cao said.

"Haha, no matter how incomparable, it is also a regular army with formal training, and the battlefield is the best way to train people, and it doesn't take a few battles for this group of recruits to grow."

Zhang Yu was very happy, the strength of the Yellow Turban is not strong, it is a good object for military training, and it is best to use them to train recruits.

"Okay, Zhicai has made a great contribution, in this way, we have more than 6,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, which is much easier." Zhang Yu said happily

It turned out that Xi Zhicai was also aware of his weakness in the army, so he recruited soldiers there on a large scale, and then carried out harsh training.

During training, each soldier had almost only three or four hours a day to sleep.

When it was delicious and had a high military salary, he recruited soldiers very quickly, and soon let Xi Zhicai recruit 5,000 soldiers.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower in Xi Zhicai's own hands and not enough people to take care of it, he would have been able to recruit more soldiers.

In this era, it is a luxury to be able to eat, and besides, it is delicious and delicious, and Xi Zhicai also gave a one-time settlement fee of 300 yuan, so the number of applicants quickly met the requirements.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt how happy it was to have a few high-level talents under his command.

Zhang Yu immediately asked people to call Huang Zhong.

"Hansheng, now that we have finished resting, therefore, I plan to bypass Runan and go to Yingchuan to Luoyang, do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Yu pointed to the map he had drawn and said.

Huang Zhong took a look and said: "Lord, the area from Runan to Luoyang in Yingchuan is the supply line of the Yellow Turban, we can ambush them once or twice on the road first, and then go to Yingchuan to find a meeting of the officials and troops." ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "What Han Sheng said is reasonable, Runan will transport a large number of soldiers, grain and grass on the front line, and in the case that they don't know about our existence, the ambush has a great chance of success." ”

The three of them discussed for a while, and then decided to find a place far away from Runan to ambush them once, and then go to join the army of the imperial court.

Zhang Yu exchanged another thousand bows and arrows for the soldiers, increasing long-range strikes.

Bow and arrow is a good weapon for sneak attack, before rushing to kill, a few rounds of arrow rain will come quickly, not to mention the damage, but also can mess up the enemy's formation, and then kill out.

At this time, it was already the end of March, Zhang Yu took more than 6,000 soldiers, and then there were two generals on the left and right.

Bypassing Runan, Zhang Yu specifically looked for a path and tried to avoid the yellow scarf.

It took five days to leave, and five days later it was already the third day of the fourth month, and at this time, the general Zhu Jun also led the official army on the way to Yingchuan.

"My lord, although there are yellow turbans around here who continue to transport grain and grass to the front line, they are all small troops, if we expose us in order to fight them, it is really not worth it." Along the way, Zhang Yu and the others continued to collect intelligence, but they did not find the activities of the Yellow Turban's large force.

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "At this time, the Yellow Turban is in full bloom, and there is no resistance, so the front line is naturally not tight, so there is no need to transport soldiers and grain and grass on a large scale." ”

Huang Zhong on the side nodded in agreement with Zhang Yu's thoughts.

"Little Brother Zhang, why don't we find a place that is easy to ambush and hide first, I believe that the imperial court will soon counterattack, and when the Yellow Turban front line is tight, we will have a chance."

Zhang Yu could only make this decision first, find a place to hide, and then let Ling Cao collect information while training.

A few days later, Zhang Yu and the others hid in the mountains and grew hair, and the scout finally brought good news.

"My lord, in the direction of Runan, there are about 10,000 yellow scarves escorting a batch of grain and grass." The scout debriefed.

"Great, let Ling Cao stop training and get ready to work." After waiting for so many days, Zhang Yu was very happy to finally come.

Zhang Yu's army stopped training and allowed the soldiers to start resting and regaining their strength.

The Yellow Turbans weren't fast, and the scouts had only been out of Runan for two days when they spotted them.

Zhang Yu and the others waited for two days, and it was two days later that the Yellow Turban team approached the place where Zhang Yu and them were ambushed.

"Ling Cao led people to block the back, Zhou Cang was on the side, I led people to the side, and Han Sheng led people to impact from the front." Zhang Yu began to assign tasks

"One thing you have to remember is that once you start attacking, give me a hard punch and charge, don't think about anything, and break up these yellow scarves as soon as possible."

Zhang Yu must use the most violent fighting style to defeat these yellow scarves in the fastest time.

Because there are still many recruits in Zhang Yu's team, the recruits will fight for the first time, and if they encounter rubbing, the casualties will be relatively large.

The plan was set, and everyone entered the ambush.

The Yellow Turban didn't know that he had been targeted, and continued to follow the established route.

Generally, the people who transport the Yellow Turbans are the recruits of the Yellow Turbans, and the Yellow Turbans who directly join the front line after being delivered will not return, which is why Zhang Yu dared to fight them.

There is still a gap between the recruits of the Yellow Turban and Zhang Yu's recruits, and it is enough to eliminate them

In the middle of the jungle, two thousand archers were ready.

"Put."

"Five rounds of rapid fire."

The Yellow Turban entered an ambush, and Zhang Yu raised the overlord halberd and ordered an attack.

At one point, more than 2,000 prepared archers rained down arrows from both sides.

The arrow landed on the Yellow Turban's head, causing them heavy losses.

The Yellow Turbans had little armor protection and were not equipped with any shields, so they suffered heavy casualties.

In order to avoid the rain of arrows, the yellow turban scurried around, and the formation immediately collapsed.

"Kill."

As soon as the rain of arrows passed, Zhang Yu led people to rush out.

"Poof~"

With a wave of the Overlord's halberd, a Yellow Turban soldier was killed.

Zhang Yu's army all rushed out and slaughtered the Yellow Turban.

The untouchable yellow scarf is divided into several parts.

Between the swings of Zhang Yu's overlord halberd, he made a move to drink blood, killing ten people in one step, and he was unstoppable.

Huang Zhong, who was blocked in front, was also full of murderous aura, like a tiger descending from the mountain, arrogant.

Fierce kills unfolded in several directions at the same time.

No one in the yellow scarf could stop Zhang Yu and several of their generals, and even Zhou Cang was very brave.

After a fight, all the yellow turbans were wiped out, and the grain and grass they transported were also taken away by Zhang Yu and them.

"Haha, happy." After the battle, Huang Zhong wiped the blood from his hands, walked towards Zhang Yu, and said with a big smile.

Huang Zhong is a man, born to be suitable for the battlefield, but when he was young, he was unwilling, and it was not until he followed Liu Bei that he had the opportunity to often go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but now he met Zhang Yu in advance.
