Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 5 The First Battle of the Yellow Turban

Xiang Ao led the army to stay in the col down Wutai Mountain for three days, and Xiang Ao almost rushed directly to Guangyang. I am thousands of elites, and there are nearly 6,000 good horses, and Xiang Ao is speechless about the daily consumption of grain and grass, if he stays here, Xiang Ao can't help but want to 'rob the rich and help the poor'!

Fortunately, in the early morning of the third day, the scouts came to report that the Guangyang Yellow Turban had left the city and rushed to Zhuo County.

As for the 800 traps hidden between Liangxiang and Zhuojun, Xiang Ao's scouts have never found any trace of them, and Xi Zhong can only be amazed and admired by this.

"Qu Shuai, Zhuo County is different from Guangyang, and many families themselves are a large number of reckless people. With such a fanfare attack, I am afraid that Zhuoxian County will be extremely difficult to capture. ”

Regarding Deng Mao's advice, Cheng Zhiyuan did not take it to heart and said: "Our righteous army has more refugees and less training. At this time, why don't you surprise Zhuo County with a big victory? What if Hanting reacts? ”

"At this time, our righteous army must put speed first, occupy more counties and counties, and destroy the living force of the Han Court!"

"Qu Shuai is wise!" Deng Mao thought about it carefully, and he felt the same.

"Full speed ahead of the whole army! When Zhuo County is broken, the money and women can enjoy it to their heart's content, and they can worship the marquis! ”

"Oh, oh, oh..." The rabble behind Cheng Zhiyuan shouted when they heard this, excited. Cheng Zhiyuan saw it, felt a little at ease, and secretly discussed: The military heart is available!

At this time, Zhuojun County.

"Han Taishou, the scout is here to report that the Guangyang Yellow Turban did not attack Jixian, but Zhuojun!"

"How's that okay?" Han Taishou was anxious when he heard this: "Didn't Liu Bei claim to be a member of the royal family?" Ignoring the Guangyang Yellow Turban and leaving, I was angry! ”

"Taishou, it's better to arrange the city defense as soon as possible!" The Governor of Zhuo County comforted Han Taishou and said, "A few days ago, the last general heard that the champion of the Northern Regions, Hou, can ask for help because he is in the area of Zhuo County in Guangyang!" ”

"Oh?!" Han Taishou was overjoyed: "Quickly order someone to investigate and ask for help from the champion Hou!" ”

"My lord, there are a lot of scouts suddenly sent out in the county seat of Zhuoxian, I don't know what it is?"

"Just take it!" Xiang Ao thought about it for a while, and then he knew what the meaning of Zhuojun Taishou was: "And told the Zhuojun scouts that this candidate has been arranged, and the county only needs to try its best to defend it." ”

"No!"

"Driving..."At noon, the Yellow Turban Cheng Zhiyuan finally rushed to camp thirty miles outside the county seat of Zhuo County in Xiang Ao's expectation.

"General Deng, order the whole army to build a meal and attack the city from time to time!"

"No!"

The reason why Cheng Zhiyuan was in a hurry to attack the city was that he was worried that Hou Xiangao, the champion of the Northern Regions, would not go to the main battlefield of Julu, so he wanted to capture Zhuo County as soon as possible, which was not only convenient for defense, but also echoed Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and others.

The sun in March is not scorching, especially in the land of Youzhou, it still looks a little cool. After camping, the Yellow Turban Army began to make fires to cook, and many people who were afraid of the cold still gathered around the stove to keep warm. Cheng Zhiyuan shouted for a while before tidying up the camp to look a little better, which also made Cheng Zhiyuan angry.

When Xiang Ao learned the information, he sighed in his heart: The combat effectiveness of the peasant uprising is indeed not good, and the discipline is even more lax. If you want to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty, it is difficult! If it weren't for the army's casualties, Xiang Ao really wanted to wave his army at this time. Such a force is much worse than the Xianbei camp. Xiang Ao even felt that such a team still had to use tricks, which was simply an insult to himself!

Cheng Zhiyuan hurried and hurried, and finally reorganized his army in the next three moments. The Yellow Turban Army, composed of tens of thousands of refugees, pressed towards the county seats. Although there was a little chaos, under the command of Cheng Zhiyuan, several phalanxes were still formed relatively neatly.

"Listen to the Han army in the city!" Deng Mao ordered Dao Chengxia to call for battle: "I am the Jizhou Qu Department under the command of General Tiangong, a great sage and good teacher, and today I will attack Zhuo County under the leadership of Qu Shuai to relieve thousands of people from suffering!" ”

"'The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand.'" The year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious, you should comply with the will of heaven, raise the banner and serve the army, overthrow the Han Dynasty, and return the world to Lang Lang Lang Qiankun! ”

"You and the other thieves are not ashamed, my Han is subdued all over the world, the world is peaceful, you and others are all farmers, quickly put down their weapons and return to their hometowns to farm!" The lieutenant in the county seat of Zhuojun responded with a loud shout: "The general will definitely intercede with the imperial court, wait for your life, don't make trouble with the Taiping Demon Dao!" ”

"In that case, can the Hanting dog official go out of the city to fight!" Deng Mao also rarely had a fight with him, and invited him to fight.

"You are all the people, and you will not want to make a move against the people!"

"Hahaha... Guts dog official, if you don't dare, you don't dare, and you still say it so high-sounding! Deng Mao laughed and said disdainfully.

Cheng Zhiyuan, who was in the Yellow Turban Formation, was no longer patient, and when he saw that the officials of Zhuo County were unwilling to fight, he raised the long knife in his hand and shouted: "'The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand.'" The age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious, since you want to go against the sky, Benqu Shuai will not be soft. When the whole army attacks the city and breaks the city, it is the time for you to get money and women, kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Cheng Zhiyuan gave an order, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers behind him rushed up, their eyes crazy. Some people were dancing with knives and guns, and many people were also holding hoes, shovels, sickles and other farm tools, and rushed to the county seat of Zhuoxian County in a frenzy.

The front row of the Yellow Turban Army is still complete, and many Yellow Turban soldiers hold shields in their left hands and ladders in their right hands. Behind him were a large number of spear-wielding implements, followed by a few archers with a few arrows thrown at them.

"Put!" Before rushing to the city wall, there was a loud shout in the county seat of Zhuoxian, followed by a whistling. Weighing the yellow scarf, he looked up and saw a black and oppressive arrow rushing from the sky.

"Poof!" "Boom!" "Ahh The arrow fell, or was directly hit into the body of the Yellow Turbans, or was blocked by the Yellow Turbans. And the Yellow Turban Army, who fell to the ground with an arrow, was indeed frightened and roared, but with the flames of war, there was no one to govern those who fell to the ground. Even the people who followed him were not necessarily their own brothers in a panic, trampling over them.

"Bang!" "Shh Just after a round of arrows, another round of arrows was thrown out. There are tens of thousands of yellow turbans under the city, and the officials and soldiers in the city don't have to aim at all, just shoot indiscriminately at crowded places!

Deng Mao was also a fierce general, so he was not afraid of arrows, and the long sword was blocked left and right in his hand, and he came to the city with the ladder in a moment. The Yellow Turban Army carrying the ladder rushed to the city, and everyone put the ladder up, and the Yellow Turban holding the shield also blocked the arrows for it.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban suddenly came to the city, the governor of Zhuo County calmly issued a defensive order. The lieutenant shouted: "Throwing stones!" ”

After the archers on the city wall retreated, many officers and soldiers who looked extremely strong stepped forward. The powerful soldiers picked up dozens of catties of stones from the city wall and threw them at the ladder that held the city wall. "Drink!"

"Boom!" "Ahh

"Kill!" Deng Mao took the lead alone, and quickly disposed of the city defenders on the city wall where the cloud ladder was located, and climbed the city wall to kill on both sides, followed by many Yellow Turban soldiers with crazy faces.

Seeing this, the captain of the city guard secretly exclaimed, he never thought that there were such brave people among the yellow turbans. hurriedly led his personal guards and killed Deng Mao.

"Yellow Turban Moth Thief Look at the Knife!" Du Wei is also confident in martial arts, and he fights with Deng Mao with a knife. "Humph!" When Deng Mao saw that Du Wei was killed, he snorted and shouted: "The dog officer is killed!" ”

In addition to the fierce battle on the city wall here, there are many yellow turbans screaming under the city wall in the rest of the range. Many yellow scarves who fell to the ground and had no time to dodge were hit on the head by falling stones, red and white.

"Lord, the two sides have been fully engaged, and they can attack!" Xi Zhong kept staring at the battlefield, and finally waited for the best moment to attack.

"Raid the whole army and strangle the rebels!" Xiang Ao got on his horse and shouted, raising his gun and pointing horizontally.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Although Xiang Ao came with more than 4,000 cavalry, there were new recruits and veterans who followed Xiang Ao to conquer outside the Saiwai. Led by veterans, thousands of cavalry swarmed out.

The cavalry in the Northern Regions led by Xiang Ao were all dressed in black armor, and most of the horses were black. Different from the madness of the Yellow Turban Army, the elite cavalry of the Northern Regions led by Xiang Ao was more calm and solemn, with a clear killing intent. If someone is watching, you can see that from the moment the Northern Regions Elite Cavalry attacked, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.

From the place where Xiang Ao was hiding to the county seat of Zhuoxian, it was only a dozen miles, and it was only a few miles away.

"Boom..."

The officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turban army who were fighting fiercely under the city suddenly felt the earth tremble slightly, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance.

In addition to the fact that the two sides who were still fighting on the city wall could not be distracted, the yellow scarves under the city were even more dazed, but many people in the official army seemed extremely excited.

"Look, what is that?" The Yellow Turban under the city finally found a black line in the east of it.

When Cheng Zhiyuan saw it, he finally knew what it was, and he was even more shocked in his heart.

"Formation, formation, formation!" Cheng Zhiyuan was frightened in his heart, cavalry, countless cavalry.

Under Cheng Zhiyuan's shouting, the yellow scarves under the city hurriedly formed a circle formation and prepared to defend against the enemy. The remaining Yellow Turbans, led by the leader of their phalanx, continued to besiege the city, unaware of the imminent destruction.

There was still a distance of ten zhang from the Yellow Turban Army, and Xiang Ao shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" Thousands of cavalry followed and shouted, almost drowning out the sound of the dragon's horses' hooves. The Yellow Turban Army was even more frightened by the shouts of the Northern Regions Army, and many of the Yellow Turban Army had trembling legs, and even their weapons were unstable.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry led by Xiang Ao was like a torrent of steel, and it was inserted into the Yellow Turban position in an instant, as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. For a while, wailing was everywhere, and the yellow turbans, who had no armor to protect them, had no resistance in front of Xiang Ao's cavalry. You don't even need cavalry to shoot and kill, you just need to stabilize the horse formation and hit hard.

The Yellow Turban Army, who had never seen such a battle, was even more frightened, seeing that the comrades in front of them were knocked into the air, and then the horse's hooves passed by, all of which were minced meat. The Yellow Turban Army was terrified, and before Cheng Zhiyuan could give an order, countless Yellow Turbans had already thrown down their weapons and fled indiscriminately.

The inky black cavalry of the Northern Regions, like a demon from the abyss, showed no mercy, like trampling ants.

"Help...", "Devil...", the Yellow Turban Army no longer pays attention to the robes, nor does it pay attention to the battlefield, and it no longer pays attention to the obsession of the Taiping Dao in their hearts. At this time, he just wanted to escape from the cavalry of the Northern Regions. There was a great chaos in the city, and Deng Mao in the city was also afraid, and he slashed and forced the commander of Zhuo County to open it, leaving a group of Yellow Turban soldiers to jump off the city wall and flee in the direction of Cheng Zhiyuan.
