Chapter Eighty-Four: 'Clever Scheme'

The battle in Ruyin began suddenly.

In the seventh year of Guanghe, it was also the end of May of the first year of Zhongping, Ding Yi, who was sitting in Ruyin, never thought that the official army would cross Shangcai, Ruyang, Geling and other places and directly hit Ruyin City!

He Yi was awakened by the sudden explosion of shouting and killing, because where Ruyin was located was the core of the Yellow Turban forces in this area, so when He Yi was awakened by the shouting and killing outside the door, the first reaction was not that the official army called, but that Liu Pi and others wanted to seize their position as Qu Shuai.

Even when he knew that it was the official army that had invaded the city, He Yi felt that someone was joking with him, no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for the official army to quietly cross the area occupied by the Yellow Turban and kill directly to Ruyin, and listening to the sound of the fighting, it was in the city at all.

How did they get in?

He Yi was really confused in his mind at the moment, but the sound of the fight outside the door was real, and he couldn't care about it at the moment, and with the help of his own guards, he put on the armor that He Yi regarded as a treasure, this was the bamboo armor given to him by Zhang Jiao, in the Yellow Turban Army, there were less than thirty people who could match this kind of armor, and the defense power was not many times stronger than the so-called armor of ordinary soldiers.

"Where are the officers and soldiers? What about Homan? He Yi picked up his big knife and walked out of the house, but what caught his eye was a sea of fire, as if the entire city was on fire.

"I don't know, the thieves suddenly touched the city wall, killed the defenders of the city, and after entering the city, they set fire everywhere, and the leader of He Man has led people to kill the enemy, and there is no news yet." A yellow turban general said as he walked.

He Man felt that he was listening to myths, there were Yellow Turban troops stationed on the city wall every day, how could the enemy quietly touch and open the city gate, what did the defenders on the city wall do to eat? Could it be that the enemies who came to attack were all immortals?

There is no time to ask in detail, the top priority is to put down the civil strife first, and drive out these enemy troops in the city first.

It's just that when He Yi took the guards out of the mansion, he was suddenly a little confused.

But seeing the shouts and cries in the city, the sound of killing and crying shook the sky, but at a glance, there were all the Yellow Turban troops, and there were not a few shadows of the enemy, but the fire in the city was getting bigger and bigger, as if there were enemies in all directions, and for a while, He Yi was also a little unsure how many enemies were killing into the city.

didn't think too much, He Yi stopped a group of people and horses, and took the people and horses to kill in the direction where the shouting was loudest, and all the way he saw was the Yellow Turban Army crashing like headless flies, and the enemies who invaded the city did not see a single one at all.

"Where are the thieves?" Pulling a general of the Yellow Turban Army who bumped into him in a panic, He Yi saw that his face was familiar, picked him up, and said sharply.

"I don't know, it's all over the place!" The yellow turban thief will see He Yi, his flustered mood calmed down a little, and he gasped and said.

Everywhere? Where is it?

He Yi's cheeks twitched, he had already taken people around the county government for a while, and all he saw were the Yellow Turban Routers, where the enemy was, he really didn't see it.

"Qu Shuai!" He Yi's general, He Man, came over with a group of people, and when he saw He Yi, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Do you know where it is?" He Yi looked at He Man's panting appearance and asked with a frown.

"I don't know, I ran around the city for a long time, and I met an officer army, and when I saw that there were many of us, I slipped away directly, and the streets were full of our people, and they cut them when they saw people, but the last general was not good at killing the robes, and they slipped away, and the officers and soldiers in the city didn't seem to be much." He Man touched his head, he is a fierce general under He Yi, there are few enemies in the Runan area with an iron rod in one hand, and he is a good hand at charging into battle, but if he is asked to analyze the enemy's situation, it will be a little difficult for him, this is also a common problem of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, there are very few who are really brave and strategic, and they may not be able to stand in a high position, just like Liao Hua, he has good ability, but in the Yellow Turban Army, he is just a leader under Liang Fa.

"In this way, I'm afraid there are really not many people on the other side." When He Yi heard this, he confirmed the conjecture in his heart, but after looking at the fires all around, for a while, he was a little depressed, even if this Ruyin was kept, he couldn't stay, he didn't want to use a ruin as a station.

"The last general thinks so, too." He Man nodded, he had run all over the city.

"Qu Shuai, it's not good!" A Yellow Turban Army general hurriedly ran over, and in the chaotic streets, he stumbled, and crawled to He Yi's side in some embarrassment.

"What's wrong again?" He Yi was in a bad mood, she was so dignified, she became like this when she woke up, this can't be considered a war anymore, right? Until now, I have not even seen the shadow of the enemy.

"The city gate has been opened, and our soldiers are now frantically pouring out of the city gate!" The Yellow Turban General said in a hurry.

"Really!?" When He Yi heard this, he was not surprised or overjoyed, and his eyes became bright in an instant: "How many enemy troops are there at the city gate?" Quickly gather the troops and horses, and the commander will personally kill these damned officers and soldiers! ”

I'm not afraid of the enemy's strength, but I'm afraid of this feeling of not knowing where the enemy is after fighting for a long time, He Yi has never fought such an inexplicable battle since the uprising.

"Uh......" the Yellow Turban general said with some embarrassment: "There is no enemy, the city gate was opened by our men." ”

He Yi: "......"

"Then why don't you close the gates!?" He Man scolded.

"Can't be closed, those thieves set fire everywhere to drive our army, there are all our people near the city gate, let alone close the city gate, I'm afraid I can't squeeze through it now!"

The muscles on He Yi's face twitched a few times, this enemy has not yet appeared, his own people have already begun to open the city gate and run out, if there is an ambush outside, I am afraid that they will be attacked by the enemy immediately, his face couldn't help but darken a little, looking at this person: "What about the enemy?" ”

"Strange to say, those officers and soldiers just ran around and drove people to the city gate, but they didn't see them killing, and when they got to the city gate, they didn't see anyone."

"It's broken!" He Yi frowned when he heard this.

"Qu Shuai, what's wrong?" He Man turned his head to look at He Yi.

"These officers and soldiers don't dare to fight us at all, they just want to drive us out of the city!" He Yi said with a dark face, the most important thing is that these people have succeeded!

"So what now?" He Man scratched his head, he really hadn't encountered this situation, and the beating could be said to be quite aggrieved.

"Get out of town first!" He Yi thought for a while, and made a stupid move: "We will gather people outside the city, and then wait for them to leave the city and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" ”

"Brilliant plan!" He Man nodded, thinking that this idea was good, the most important thing now was that no one could be caught, and when they left the city, they would show the carriages and horses, and the other party would have few people, what were they afraid of him?

"You immediately organize the evacuation of manpower, and I will go out of the city to block him!" He Yi felt that his idea was quite good, and he perfectly avoided the dilemma of not being able to find the enemy now, and he was a little happy, and when he destroyed this group of officers and soldiers, this Ruyin was wasted, and he began to think about where to find a good place to stay next.

Ye Zhao, who was flying around with people in the city, suddenly felt a lot less pressure, and the Yellow Turban Army did not need him to drive him, so he began to consciously walk out of the city, which made Ye Zhao a little confused for a while.

By the time of the fifth watch, the Yellow Turban Army in the city had almost gone, and Ye Zhao led his men and horses to join Dian Wei.

"How's the damage?" Ye Zhao met Dian Wei, after he captured the city gate in the night attack, he turned the two thousand men and horses he brought into pieces, scattered in the city in teams, and set fire everywhere in the city to drive the Yellow Turban Army out of the city, but this Ruyin has been entrenched by He Yi for a long time, and there are 70,000 Yellow Turban troops in the city, even if Ye Zhao surprises and makes the Yellow Turban Army chaotic, 2,000 people are not in the 70,000 Yellow Turban Army, and if you are not careful, the whole team will be destroyed.

"Seven teams never returned!" Dian Wei shook his head: "I don't know ......"

Ye Zhao looked at his side, there were also three teams that had not returned, and frowned, adding up, there were nearly five hundred people who did not come back, but in total, if he could successfully expel He Yi, it would be considered a big victory, but the current situation was a little weird.

"Don't wait, I see that most of the Yellow Turban Army has already left the city, you immediately closed the four gates and sealed the four gates for me, I want to see, what is this He Yi going to do?" Now there is no time to worry about these casualties, as for the remaining Yellow Turban Army in the city, there is no need to worry, after the four gates are closed, they can even be used.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei agreed, and left quickly with the people.

Ye Zhao continued to sweep through the city with the gathered men and horses, but the difference was that this time, he was no longer a man, but a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army in the city.

Most of these Yellow Turban Army are the people in the Ruyin area, who were coerced by He Yi to join the Yellow Turban Army, and their fighting spirit is not high, and the large army has left at this moment, even if Ye Zhao does not have many soldiers and horses, he does not dare to resist, and surrenders obediently, and then is absorbed by Ye Zhao, and now there is a shortage of manpower, even if these Yellow Turban Army does not have much combat power, Ye Zhao still incorporated them, selected some strong ones as the captains and chiefs, and the team rate was served by the commanders and chiefs in the army, he now has the military power of the three schools, as long as the number is right, he has the right to temporarily absorb some troops to supplement himself, but the official positions of generals, military marquis, and military horses have no right to appoint and dismiss, and it is impossible for Huangfu Song to give him this right.

"Lord, the four gates have been blocked, and the Yellow Turban thief has set up a military formation outside the city to call out to our army, and I ignore him!" At dawn, Dian Wei came to Ye Zhao's side and bowed down.

"Don't pay attention to him, the soldiers of our army rushed for three days, and after a night of hard fighting, arrange for them to rest, and the defense of the city will be temporarily handed over to these incorporated surrendered troops, so that they can set up more straw men at the head of the city, so as to be suspicious soldiers and deter thieves." Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he probably knew what He Yi was going to do, for He Yi's strategy of being caught in the brain, Ye Zhao could only sigh at He Yi's ability to command the troops, no wonder there were so many commanders under Zhang Jiao, and there were only a few who left their names in the end.
