Chapter 54: The Siege of the Shrine

There must be five kinds of fire attackers, one is called the fire man, the second is the fire accumulation, the third is the fire chariot, the fourth is the fire storehouse, and the fifth is the fire team.

There must be a cause for fire, and fireworks must be furnished. There are times when the fire starts, and there are days when the fire starts.

Liu Fan used the first type of fire attack, burning his camp and burning his men and horses. The conditions for a fire attack by the Han army were already in place, but the Yellow Turban Army did not prepare measures to prepare for a fire attack in advance.

There was such a big movement here, and the soldiers on the wall of the Changsha City noticed it as soon as possible. They hurried to inform the main generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Yun.

After Huangfu Song and Zhu Yun received the news, they rushed to the city tower here non-stop.

Looking from the city wall, the camp of the Yellow Turban Army was noisy, and the flames spread. The neighing of the horses and the sound of the horses' hooves staggering on the ground could be faintly heard.

"I guess the reinforcements have arrived, Yizhen, what do you think?" Zhu Yan asked Huangfu Song.

Ten days ago, they asked the court for help, and now it's almost over.

"The method of fire attack, I have already thought of it, but unfortunately there has been no strong wind, and the enemy is outnumbered, rashly out of the city to set fire, in vain. Now some people are using cavalry to set fire to the perimeter on a large scale, and the enemy is in disarray. The fighter plane is fleeting, Gongwei, let the soldiers go out of the city and set fire again, you and I will lead a team of men and horses, and the reinforcements will be on all sides, and we will definitely win. Huangfu Song analyzed Zhu Yan and gave an order.

Huangfu Song is in his forties and has a burly figure. It is the son of Huangfu Gui, one of the three heroes of Pingqiang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Jiangmen family of the root red Miaozheng. Courage and strategy, dedication to duty.

"Okay, I'm going to get all the soldiers together at once!" After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he turned his head and walked down the city tower.

After having a plan, Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to tie up their torches and let some of the elite soldiers sneak out of the city first.

When everything was ready, the elite soldiers who had infiltrated the city lit torches and threw them at the enemy camp.

After discovering the situation, the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side of Changshe City quickly organized soldiers to extinguish the fire, and sent people to rush to kill the elite soldiers sent by Huangfu Song to set fire.

Zhu Wei soon completed the integration of 30,000 soldiers, and Huangfu Song took advantage of this momentum and rushed out with drums.

Zhu Wei and Huang Fu Song led a group of men and horses to attack the enemy camp from two directions.

The Yellow Turban Army knew that there was a large-scale cavalry in the rear, and now that the Han troops in the city had come out again, it felt like the sky was about to fall.

Now, if the Yellow Turban Army organizes the whole army to withdraw from the camp, there may still be a chance to line up the troops, but the Yellow Turban Army lacks combat experience, panics and scatters, and the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. The main general Bocai can't control the situation at all.

In history, there are very few people who can command an army of 100,000 and can wave like an arm.

Not to mention the Bocai who is not ranked on the list of historical celebrities. Bo is a disciple of Zhang Jiao, and he is also from a poor people, and he can command the more than 100,000 Yellow Turban Army completely by his own courage and Zhang Jiao's trust in him.

It's not that the more troops, the more advantageous, and there have been countless battles in ancient times where fewer won more.

Among them, the most famous battles of Dingding in the battle of the weak and strong are: the battle of Yin and Jin, Wu Qi 70,000 victory over 500,000 Qin army, the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu's 50,000 broken Zhanghan, Wang Li's 400,000 army, the battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's 30,000 broken Liu Bang's 560,000 princes' coalition army, the battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu's 50,000 broken Cao Cao's 300,000 army, the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's 40,000 broken Yuan Shao's 300,000 army, the battle of Weishui, Xie An, Xie Xuan's 80,000 broken Fu Jian's 900,000, Quarshiji's battle against Yu Yunwen 20,000, and the Jin Emperor's Wanyan Liang's 170,000 army.

In this battle, the Yellow Turban Army had no system, and the large number of people did not become an advantage, because of the chaos of the position, it also became a disadvantage.

"The army withdraws from the barracks! Retreat to Yangzhai. Bo Cai, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, shouted angrily.

In this situation, there are fires everywhere, and if you don't retreat, you will be burned alive by the fire.

The city gate was less than a mile away from the Yellow Turban Army camp, and Huangfu Song led the army to quickly tear down the Yellow Turban Army camp and exchange fire with the Yellow Turban Army. Over there, Zhu Wei led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Yellow Turban Army from the flank.

Several large drums on the city wall were continuously beaten by wrestlers, shaking the heavens and the earth. The morale of the Han army was high.

Because the Yellow Turban Army was destroyed by the fire, the main general gave the order to retreat, and they had no intention of fighting and retreated.

The surrounding fires illuminated the entire battlefield, and it could be seen that the well-armed Han army slaughtered the Yellow Turban Army one-sidedly!

"Lord, when will our army attack!" Guan Yu said with great interest.

Liu Fan, with two thousand cavalry, kept wandering around the Yellow Turban Army, swimming without attacking. The Yellow Turban Army advanced a little, and Liu Fan led the cavalry to retreat a little!

As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, a Han army of more than 1,000 people intercepted the fleeing Yellow Turban Army. The eyes of Liu Fan and others were attracted by these more than 1,000 people!

In the face of the Yellow Turban Army, which was dozens of times larger than themselves, these more than 1,000 people were not afraid, and they rushed left and right, and they killed the Yellow Turban Army several times.

In particular, he was led by a young man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, who looked to be twenty-eight or nineteen years old, wearing armor and armor, eight feet long, and with an extraordinary appearance.

The young man held a three-and-a-half-foot-long sword in his hand, and the knife was printed with pine patterns, and he rushed all the way to kill alone, dozens of steps away from the team.

Suddenly, a knife-wielding Yellow Turban soldier found an opportunity and slashed at the young man's back, a deep wound appeared, he only frowned slightly, and then turned around and beheaded the Yellow Turban soldier with a knife.

After that, he ignored the wounds on his body, continued to fight, and put life and death out of the way, like a tiger!

"This will too!" Liu Fan was amazed by the young man's actions, and then ordered the soldiers behind him: "Set up a formation and attack the enemy's formation."

After Liu Fan finished speaking, he grabbed the ink unicorn between his legs, took the lead, and rushed towards the enemy.

Two thousand soldiers followed Liu Fan, and if someone looked closely, they would find that the cavalry led by Liu Fan was in a team of ten people, and there was a phalanx for every hundred people. No matter where they go, they are hundreds of people together, and the troop configuration is like the tilt of geese flying over, and each team has a connection with each other and complements each other.

It's a wild goose formation!

The wild goose marching formation comes from the "Art of War", which is a formation that imitates the flying of geese in formation, and has always been a combat formation that can be applied by both cavalry and infantry. The cavalry's flying geese formation was mainly used to quickly assault the weak points of the enemy's flanks on the opposite side. And the infantry often used goose formations to restrain the frontal onslaught of the enemy.

This formation Liu Fan took them to train for a month, and only then did you have Xiaocheng.

The horses roared and roared, and rushed towards the Yellow Turbans with an irresistible momentum.
