Chapter 93: Counterattack
Outside the rear camp of the Han army, Zhang Niujiao finally began to attack, and 30,000 soldiers followed his order, like a flash flood, to rush to the wall of the rear camp, wanting to complete their work in one battle.
Countless Yellow Turban soldiers raised simple wooden shields, roared and howled and rushed towards the Han army camp. The sound of puff and puff was endless, and every moment someone was knocked down by arrows, pierced by spears, and blood spurted and flowed, and soon the land outside the camp was dyed red, and it was even more sticky and slippery under people's feet, and blood footprints were one step at a time.
Almost every step of the Yellow Turban Army cost tens or hundreds of people.
Zhang Niujiao's expression was indifferent, he needed to further consume the enemy's living force, how could he be afraid of casualties, even if the damage was two to one, or even three to one, he had to continue, one would be successful, and he would never allow himself to have the slightest woman's kindness at this moment.
The enemy again threw in a reserve, and the guards came to report.
"Okay, fire oil waits, burn the enemy barracks for me!" Zhang Niujiao coldly ordered.
Bang bang bang, the next moment, hundreds of cans of fire oil smashed on the wall, falling apart, and the pungent smell of fire oil suddenly filled the entire battlefield.
Then, more than a dozen torches were thrown one after another.
Disheveled! The flames burst out and soared high, and in an instant, the surging flames submerged a large section of the wall.
"Put out the fire with sandbags!" Cheng Pu was calm and not flustered.
Immediately, dozens of sandbags were thrown to the wooden wall, and the quicksand poured down, forming a sand curtain covering the wall one after another, isolating the air and suppressing the fire
A few puffs of smoke extinguished in a powerless struggle...
"Bang with a banging wood!" If a plan fails, Zhang Niujiao has another plan.
More than a dozen thugs hurriedly complied, carried a beam the size of a bucket, roared like a beast in their throats, and rushed towards the Han camp.
"Snipers, destroy them!" Cheng Pu waved his hand, and more than a dozen marksmen locked on their targets, only to hear the bowstring sound, more than a dozen screams suddenly started, and the head of the yellow turban soldier who carried the wood was crooked, all of them were sealed with an arrow!
When the striking log hit the ground, it was immediately taken care of by countless rockets, and it quickly burned into large sections of charcoal.
"Throw a rope and lasso the stake, and then pull the stake with a mule or horse." Zhang Niujiao made another move, to be honest, he still has a lot of big moves that have not been released, for this battle, he has deduced countless times, so the fighting spirit is high, do not break the enemy camp, and vow not to withdraw the troops.
Whoosh, the noose is accurate, none of them miss, the original shots are some Wuhuan people, they are all veterans, perennial horses, cattle and sheep, to set these fixed stakes is really a piece of cake.
The leash was attached to the mules and horses, and dozens of animals pulled together with such a creaking and crunching that the whole barracks were trembling!
If there is no countermeasure, sooner or later the camp wall will be forcibly demolished.
"Claw Strike!"
Whoosh! With Cheng Pu's order, hundreds of flying claws flew out at the same time, and the claws were in the forest, grabbing the mules and horses.
Puff puff! The sharp claws drilled into the flesh and bones, submerged into the horse's belly, grasped the horse's back, and then, everyone pulled back together, tearing these beasts apart, without the power to resist, one after another dragged back, and soon became the trophies of our army.
The tug-of-war between the two armies continued, and Cheng Pu was-for-tat and did not give in. The defenders on both sides are gritting their teeth and holding on, it depends on who can't bear it first...
"General, the loss of the rear battalion has exceeded two thousand, do you want to send more reinforcements..."
"Wait..."Xu Huang was unmoved, and replied calmly.
After another half an hour, the defenders of the rear camp were already faintly exhausted, Xu Huang stood up and smiled coldly: "Now, it's our army's turn to make a move!" ”
……
"Soldiers, if you work harder, the enemy camp will be broken!" At the critical moment, Zhang Niujiao once again cheered up the soldiers.
Actually, he was just as excited.
A rattling sound sounded, and the door of the rear camp suddenly opened.
The Yellow Turban Qu Shuai was overjoyed, and hurriedly gathered the soldiers who were attacking near the camp gate, and rushed into the Han army camp gate.
More than a thousand thieves had just rushed into the camp, but they jumped out at a faster speed, and everyone's face was terrified, as if they had bumped into the evil spirits of hell!
Puffy puffy! Unlucky ghosts kept flying out of the camp, and wherever they passed, blood mist sprinkled all over the sky.
In the rumbling roar, a general wrapped in plate armor jumped out of the horse, and the high-headed horse galloping under the crotch was also the vest protection, and after the ironclad warrior knocked several thieves under the hooves, he shouted: "A certain Hedong Xu Huang, the one who blocks me is dead!" ”
After speaking, the Xuanhua axe of more than 80 catties in his hand swept obliquely, bringing up bursts of blood and minced meat, sweeping away all the thieves who had no time to escape.
Followed by more than 20 horsemen, all wearing heavy armor, only their eyes were exposed.
These twenty heavy armored cavalry is Xu Huang's killer weapon, and Xue Zang has finally shown his fangs now.
In fact, the twenty pairs of heavy armor were just a batch of samples of the heavy cavalry, and because the war was urgent, they were all rationed to Xu Huang.
This batch of heavy armor has far surpassed this era, and it is a completely new process. Not long ago, Qingzhou military industry has just successfully developed a two-ton hydraulic press, I am very happy, I immediately designed a sketch of the whole body plate armor, Ma Jun and others such as the treasure, immediately use the press to forge, this kind of steel once compressed into the armor is very windy, compared to the current Han army's fish scale armor, Mingguang armor is much lighter, but the defensive effect is far better than the Han armor.
It's a pity that time is tight, and there is only one hydraulic press, so far, but more than 20 rides are equipped...
The charging formation was based on Xu Huang as the arrow, with twenty heavy cavalry closely following, followed by his fifty personal guard cavalry, and at the rear were more than a thousand brave soldiers on foot.
The impact of this thousand-man commando was terrifying, and they crashed into tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, like boiling oil pouring tofu, and all the enemies in front of them were destroyed and turned into stumps and flesh, and they could kill a bloody road without much effort.
Xu Huang slashed the round big axe, rampage like a killing god, he had only one goal, to kill the enemy chieftain Zhang Niujiao!
If you cut off this head, the enemy will be defeated.
Zhang Niujiao was furious in his heart, there were only more than 1,000 people, and he wanted to kill and capture the flag, he was not a master to be messed with.
The long knife pointed at Xu Huang, and the horse under his crotch also jumped out of more than ten steps, and Zhang Niujiao shouted angrily: "Come to the general name, there is no nameless ghost left under Zhang's knife!" ”
"Hedong Xu Huang, and eat me with an axe!" Xu Huang didn't say much, raised the big axe, the axe blade roared, and slashed at the oncoming Zhang Niujiao.
Zhang Niujiao shouted violently, and the sword intent was clear, and he slashed through the void and slammed into the heavy axe.
While! The swords and axes collided, the sound of gold and iron resonated endlessly, Zhang Niujiao only felt the blood in his chest churning, and he was secretly surprised, the opponent's arm strength was incomparable, and he chased after the big sword Guan Yu.
Seeing that the enemy chief easily took his own axe, Xu Huang was also surprised, don't let the enemy slow down, the key to this battle is to fight quickly!
Thinking about this, he stood up straight, his momentum soared, and a roar came out of his throat: "Open the world, Pangu with an axe!" ”
The Xuanhua Axe was raised high, shooting a dazzling light in the sun, and then the void burst, and the axe shadow slashed, slashing at Zhang Niujiao's horns with a weight like a thousand pounds!
This axe can split mountains, but it is as light as a weight, far better than the first axe, this is Xu Huang's real strength.
While! The long knife left his hand, Zhang Niujiao could no longer resist it, blood spurted wildly in his mouth, and the whole person fell off the horse.
"Tied." Xu shook his head and didn't look back, the horse was as fast as the wind, and he rushed to the Yellow Turban flag bearer, his axe fell, and the big man in charge of the flag and the big flag with the word 'Zhang' were split into several sections.
"Zhang Niujiao has been captured, and those who descend will not be killed!" Xu Huang shouted, and thousands of people behind him shouted together.
Thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were leaderless, and when they were panicking and at a loss, the shouts of killing began again,
Adjutant General Cheng Pu stood on the lookout and looked at the battlefield outside the camp: among the ten thousand troops, Xu Huang captured the general like a bag, what a hero, how happy!
Ten fingers grasped the guardrail, Cheng Pu couldn't help but have a dry mouth, his blood boiled, and he couldn't restrain himself at all.
"General Cheng, quickly lead the troops out of the camp and defeat the thief army in one fell swoop." Seeing that Cheng Pu was in a daze, the staff officer next to him quickly pushed him and said eagerly.
"Okay, the camp will be handed over to you." Cheng Pu calmed down his passion and threw himself out of the camp with all his might.
At this moment, there was a killing cry from the north, and two Han soldiers were seen killed.
One of the Han army's flags was embroidered with the word 'Cao', and the other flag was embroidered with the word 'Yuan'.
The general under Cao Zi is about thirty years old, and his stature is not high, but his eyes are full of light; And the generals under Yuan Zi are Qiyu Xuanran, although they are in the midst of ten thousand armies, it is difficult to hide their charm.
The short general greeted the generals who were walking side by side with him, and arched his hand and said, "Brother Ben, if you want to copy from the east, you will take the first step." ”
The general with extraordinary bearing smiled slightly, and said with his head bowed: "Meng De, today you and my brother will come to compare and see who has killed more thieves, how about it?" ”
"Haha, that's exactly what I mean!" The general, named Mengde, laughed heartily and nodded yes.
Both of them are big names in the late Han Dynasty, the short one is Cao Cao, and the other person is naturally Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth world and the third duke.
Yuan Shao to the north, Cao Cao to the east, Xu Huang and Cheng Pu swept from the south, and the three Han armies were killed together, forming a three-sided encirclement.
The 40,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were leaderless, and they were killed by Xu Huang in horror, and they had already lost the power to resist.
Countless Yellow Turban soldiers were killed, more thieves threw away their armor and fled in all directions, and some people saw that there was no hope of escape, so they simply knelt on the ground and asked to surrender, and there were thousands of Taiping diehards, seeing that there was still a gap in the west, they rushed to the west.
Knock knock! At the gap in the west, the drums sounded again, and a dusty Han army suddenly killed. Wherever he passed, he stabbed people and cut them when he met people, obviously an iron-blooded force.
As the first general, the fire dragon horse under the crotch, wearing goose scale armor, holding an ancient ingot knife, the knife flashed, and a headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
Behind him, a majestic banner was waving in the wind, embroidered with the word 'Sun', and this person was Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong.
Wherever Sun Jian's troops passed, the thief army that had just rushed over was quickly slaughtered and dispersed, like an autumn wind sweeping leaves.
The encirclement quickly closed, and the destruction of the 40,000 yellow turbans was just around the corner.
ordered someone to hastily clean up the battlefield, Xu Huang, Xi Zhong, and Cheng Pu were the east, and they hurriedly invited the main generals of the three friendly armies to enter the camp for a while.
It turned out that the reinforcements coming from the north were the troops brought by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, with Cao's army of 5,000 and Yuan's army of 8,000. In fact, the two of them had already come to Julu, but because Dong Zhuo, the Zhonglang general, had been repeatedly defeated at that time, the two of them had been staying outside the hundred miles to watch. Seeing that our army has recently lost the Yellow Turbans in a row, this kind of good opportunity to reap the results of the battle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are both human spirits, how can they miss it!
The two of them have a first-class eye and luck, and they picked up a big peach as soon as they got out of the horse, and they envied others.
As for Sun Jian, he is a sincere person, he is brave and good at fighting, and he has nothing to be careful about. Its 5,000 Jiangdong children hurried to catch up, and their luck was not bad, and they made this great achievement as soon as they arrived in Julu...
The reception in the camp was very simple, Xu Huang and the three of them greeted each other, and then introduced the details of the battlefield to a few people, during which Xi Zhong made a look, Xu Huang immediately realized: Also, although the lord's side has a lot of advantages, but the number of troops is still a little less. He organized a rhetoric in his head, and was about to ask a few people to send troops to help in the war again...
Before Xu Huang could speak, Cao Cao suddenly stood up, first bowed to everyone, and then said straight to the point: "General Xu, there must be an empty army in Julu City, if you attack the city at this time, you can fight down, and the main force of the thief army will collapse without a fight!" ”
"General Cao's plan is very clever! That's exactly what I mean. Xu Huang replied, "After I have passed my father-in-law, I plan to send troops immediately." ”
Yuan Shao and Sun Jian on the side also nodded in agreement.
After the three of them discussed, they began to prepare the supplies for men and horses.
