Chapter 131: Lifting the siege of Xiangping City
Night combat has always been the advantage of the escort battalion, because the escort battalion attached great importance to night combat at the beginning of its establishment and often trained for night combat.
This Yellow Turban Army didn't have any military common sense at all, and they didn't have much defense at night, Ye Chen and they chose not to charge cavalry this time, but to dismount and fight, of course, not all dismount and fight.
Ye Chen asked the three thousand people to dismount, touch it first, and charge with cavalry without starting because they still had to rely on infantry when they would collect and surrender the prisoners, and the cavalry was a little troublesome to do this, and it was tiring to get on and off the horse in armor.
The infantry touched it first and laid an ambush, these Yellow Turban troops were really poor in vigilance, and the escort battalion touched a few hundred meters away, but they didn't notice it.
In the middle of the night, the weather in early spring was still very cold, and many of the Yellow Turban Army were still unclothed, so they could only sleep next to each other.
They don't know what a vigil is, they don't know that there must be someone patrolling the camp, someone must be sentry, this is also the early Yellow Turban, there is no battle formation, if the later Yellow Turban still emerges some capable people, then it will not be very simple.
Most of these yellow scarves were still peasants, all dressed as peasants, and they were fifty or sixty years old, and the youngest ones were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were supposed to work in the fields, but this life forced them to rebel.
For them, it is death on the left and right, unless the Yellow Turbans can really win the world, but even if the Yellow Turbans win the world, they will still be the poor people at the bottom, and it is even possible to restore the previous level of insufficient food and need to rebel.
Ye Chen had no mercy, after the infantry was ambushed, the cavalry was ready.
The ground began to shake, this is the characteristic of the cavalry charge, most of the yellow turbans are still asleep, the scene of the cavalry rushing today has put a huge pressure on their hearts, everyone is very tired, there is physical exhaustion, and even more mental exhaustion.
"Kill." A shout, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the six gods of the Yellow Turban Army were ownerless.
At this time, most of them had already woken up, and the shock of the cavalry had already awakened them, but they hadn't reacted for a while, and now the shouts of killing were in their ears, and they knew that the enemy was coming, and it was still their most terrible enemy.
There were also many tents in the camp of the Yellow Turbans, but most of them could only sleep in the open air, and the arrival of the cavalry made them suddenly chaotic.
"Ouch, who stepped on me."
"Don't Bump"
"Damn, get out of the way."
The Yellow Turbans began to run around the camp, crashing into each other, completely out of control, and the horrors of the day were still in their minds.
"Poof~"
"Poof~"
"Poof~"
The escort battalion easily entered, spears pierced through one enemy after another, and the Yellow Turban camp was full of screams, some of which were attacked by the escort battalion, and some were caused by their own people rushing and trampling.
Ye Chen followed the faint light, and the overlord gun in his hand was completely used as a big knife to slash left and right, and every time he swung it, it would bring up a puff of blood.
The Yellow Turbans only knew how to run, and they didn't know how to resist at all, but their running was completely chaotic, with no direction, and even running back and forth in a small area.
In the darkness of the night, the escort battalion did not feel much uncomfortable, and it was not completely dark here, at least there were stars in the sky and a few torches on the ground.
But the Yellow Turbans were completely uncomfortable, no one of them had thought about being attacked at night, and there were no defensive facilities in the camp, so Ye Chen and they could easily rush into the depths.
"Turn" Ye Chen shouted, the horse ran in a small circle and turned around.
It turned out that at this time, they had already killed the camp, and Ye Chen asked them to start turning around and killing back again.
Because the time was too fast, most of the Yellow Turbans had not yet understood, and it was only then that they realized that they wanted to run.
"Kill"
At this time, the ambushed guard battalion was killed together, and the Yellow Turban Army was completely defenseless, and the people who were killed suddenly turned on their backs, and thousands of people were reimbursed in one photo.
The guard battalion is like a murderous demon king, killing all the way, killing one person in one step, and seeing blood every step of the way.
The Yellow Turbans were going to rush out and escape from the cavalry, because it was too terrifying, but as soon as they wanted to go out, they encountered a group of terrifying people.
The yellow scarf was pressed back again, and at this time, Ye Chen and the others had already turned their horses' heads and rushed towards them again.
In the dark, the group of killing gods opposite the Yellow Turbans were even more flustered, running around without a head, some running over and some running over, and the leader of the Yellow Turban couldn't control it if he wanted to empty the bamboo.
They have no military knowledge, they don't know how to assemble to resist, they don't know how to cooperate with each other, they don't know that running around like this will disrupt their formation, and even if someone wants to organize resistance, they can't organize it at all.
The Yellow Turbans don't have military knowledge, Ye Chen can't have them, taking advantage of this opportunity, the cavalry rushed into the crowd again, like a wolf into a flock, several people cooperate with each other, and they can kill several enemies in a short time.
The movement under the city wall alarmed the people in the city, and the people on the city wall began to think that it was the Yellow Turban attacking the city, and were startled, and then heard the screams and cries under the city to know that it was the Yellow Turban that was attacked.
They lit torches one after another, and when they lit the torches to illuminate the distance, they saw the scene of cavalry charging the camp, although the distance was a little far, and they could not see it very clearly, but they could see the soldiers in silver armor slaughtering the panicked soldiers.
How shocked they were at this time, this group of peasants who almost drove them to a dead end, they were being ruthlessly killed at this time, and they didn't even have the strength to resist.
In fact, these Yellow Turbans still have some combat effectiveness, but they are definitely not suitable for night battles, if it is during the day, Ye Chen is not sure to surround them all, because the Yellow Turbans still have forty or fifty thousand people, and they only have eight thousand.
So during the day, Ye Chen just rushed to kill, and chose to retreat after killing a large number of yellow scarves, at that time Ye Chen had the strength to kill them apart, but this yellow scarf would scatter in all directions and scatter all over Liaodong, which would cause Ye Chen a lot of trouble.
Liaodong must not be chaotic forever, Ye Chen wants to stabilize Liaodong in a short time, then these yellow turbans cannot be scattered everywhere, they must be concentrated to eliminate or capture, so they did not continue to attack during the day, and many people can run away during the day.
The cavalry was raging in the crowd, they could not organize any resistance, there were only enemies and enemies in the night, there were no superiors and subordinates, so they could not organize either.
And the infantry of the escort battalion compressed on the perimeter, compressing them in a range and not allowing them to escape.
You can't beat it, and you can't escape it, so all that's left is death and surrender, where is the morale of the Yellow Turban at this time, and the morale has been almost consumed during the day, and now they are all about to collapse.
"Crash land on them."
These are all manpower, Ye Chen is still very willing to do it if he can save it, although he has already killed more than half of them, it is estimated that at least more than 20,000 people have died.
The outer guard battalion heard Ye Chen's order and walked forward with neat steps.
"Surrender or Kill"
The neat and powerful voice was like a heavenly sound, and the Yellow Turban Army wanted to surrender after hearing it, but they didn't even know how to surrender.
Many people wanted to rush to the escort camp and surrender to them, but when they got close, they were mercilessly killed for any purpose.
Seeing this situation, Ye Chen roared: "Kneel on the ground and don't kill." ”
Many people understood this sentence, and the effect was still very good, and some people began to kneel.
"Kneel and don't kill"
"Kneel and don't kill"
The escort battalion began to shout in unison, and as soon as they saw that there were still those standing and running, they all shot past, a transparent hole, and let them follow the dead yellow turban.
After a period of hustle and bustle, there were no longer standing Yellow Turban troops on the battlefield, they knelt on top of the blood, and many people trembled with fear.
Ye Chen had a lot of torches lit, and then he began to gather the prisoners, let them lay down their weapons, and slowly gathered in the designated place of the guard camp.
The battle was over, with about 20,000 Yellow Turbans captured and the remaining 20,000 or so killed in the war.
The matter of collecting and surrendering the captives was busy until dawn, and after dawn you could see how terrible the scene was, with stumps and broken arms all over the ground, and the land was stained red with blood.
Ye Chen: They built a temporary place outside the city to collect the prisoners, as for the corpses outside the city, Ye Chen will not care, he will kill or bury them, so leave it to the government, and he is not free now.
What is Ye Chen going to do, Liaodong is his backyard and his base, at least in the future, so he will continue to send troops, sweep the entire Liaodong, and pacify the yellow turbans in Liaodong, only in this way can he do other things with peace of mind.
You don't have to worry about the corpse of the yellow scarf, but Ye Chen, the corpse of his own people, is very solemn and restrained, how can there be immortals in a war, and the same is true for the escort battalion, but this battle only injured many people, and only a few died in the battle.
