Chapter 170: Preparing for the Attack

Ye Chen's speed along the way was not fast, he knew that Huangfu Song and they would have to set off for another three days, and the reason why Ye Chen had to set off early was not to ask Ye Chen to be a pioneer.

Because the vanguard is generally between a few dozen miles and more than a hundred miles in front of the army, so that it can play the role of a vanguard, and if the enemy waits for the vanguard to come and ambush the army after the vanguard, then the vanguard will have little effect.

Huangfu Song asked him to leave early, in order to block the mouths of the people in the imperial court, if he stayed in Yingchuan, then the people in the imperial court would definitely make trouble for him, let Ye Chen set off first, and others would not be able to find the truth to attack.

Ye Chen also understood this very well, so he was careful along the way, and he didn't go very fast.

There are not many yellow turbans in Dongjun, just 20,000 or 30,000 people, but the generation of Dongjun does not have the main force of the Han army, so it is more rampant and looting everywhere.

Ye Chen only arrived in Dongjun a few days later, and at this time, Huangfu Song had already sent news quickly, and the distance from him was only a day. Zhu Jun led his troops to exterminate the Yellow Turbans in the Nanyang area, and he and Cao Cao went north to ask Ye Chen to conduct an early reconnaissance.

Ye Chen sent scouts to carefully observe this group of yellow turbans. found that they were not aware of the danger, and they did not do much to protect themselves.

"They were so negligent that we didn't even notice them thirty miles away." After the news was summarized, Ye Chen said.

"Why is the lord moved?" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"It's heartbeat, with our troops, it is not difficult to destroy them, but after all, they have nearly 30,000 people, and there is camp protection, it is not cost-effective to fight them."

These yellow scarves are too poor, there is not much oil and water, there will always be losses when they fight, and now that Huangfu Song's army is coming soon, there is no need to hurry, even if he grabs the credit, it is not bad.

In fact, Ye Chen didn't care about this credit, after all, he knew the future historical trend, the higher he could climb now, the more advantageous he would be in the future, but he just wanted to save more strength.

He knew that the Yellow Turbans in Dongjun were not difficult to exterminate, and after the Yellow Turbans here were exterminated, the imperial court would definitely let them go to Jizhou, Jizhou was the base camp of the Yellow Turbans, and the three Zhang Jiao brothers were all there, and there would definitely be a big war at that time, and there would be more than 7,200 people in him, and he was not willing to lose his strength for this Yellow Turban.

Although Bu Ji was defenseless, the camp tent was relatively well chosen, the terrain was relatively dangerous, and the losses were relatively large after the attack.

Huangfu Song and the others arrived, and directly camped in the place Ye Chen and they were looking for, and then raised the account to discuss the matter.

"General Jianwei, you are the first to arrive, you know more about the situation, so I will introduce you first." Huangfu Song said.

So Ye Chen told the information he had gathered.

"Well, the Yellow Turban is defenseless and doesn't know about our arrival yet, but this can be used." Huangfu Song said.

"General Jianwei has any suggestions?" Huangfu Song asked Ye Chen again.

"A night attack is enough, and the Yellow Turban will definitely be defeated." Ye Chen has not thought of a way in the past two days, one is to attack, the other is to lure the enemy out of the camp, and then attack, both methods can be used, both are effective.

But Ye Chen only said that the night attack was a plan, and he didn't elaborate. Ye Chen didn't want to be too eye-catching at this time, it was too close to Jizhou, he was afraid that the news would reach Zhang Jiao and be closely watched, so it would not be cost-effective.

"What is Mengde's opinion?" Along the way, Huangfu Song contacted Cao Cao and found that he also knew how to strategy and was a very rare talent, so he asked.

"Of course, the night attack that Brother Ye said is possible, but this terrain is relatively narrow, and our people will not be able to open it for a while, and the attack on the yellow scarf will definitely be chaotic, and the scene will be too chaotic at that time, and it will be more difficult for us to encircle and suppress." Cao Cao analyzed on the side.

Ye Chen muttered secretly in his heart: "If it was easy to fight, I would wait for you to come, and I would have eaten it a long time ago." ”

Huangfu Song nodded after hearing this, and said: "Meng De's analysis is reasonable, so what do you think should be done." ”

"It's still an attack, only it's not a night attack, it's a daytime attack." Cao Cao smiled confidently after speaking, and looked at everyone's reactions.

Huangfu Song looked thoughtful, but Ye Chen was calm and relaxed, which made Cao Cao very puzzled, did he have any better plan?

In fact, Ye Chen didn't have any good strategies, but he knew that the terrain of the Yellow Turban's camp was not suitable for cavalry, and when the time came, whether it was a night attack or a strong attack, he would not need to play the striker, even if the Han army suffered heavy casualties, he would not have a great impact, so he would have such an expression.

Cao Cao's strategy made everyone scratch their heads, attacking during the day? How else to attack during the day?

"Mengde, in detail?" Huangfu Song couldn't figure out the key to it, so he asked.

"Attack at night, the place here is too narrow, it is easy to accidentally injure your own people, and we can touch it at night, as soon as it dawns, we will kill it, so that it can still cause suddenness, the yellow turban must be defenseless, and there will be no accidental injury at that time, and Brother Ye's cavalry arrow array is very powerful, so they can suppress the yellow turban, kill and injure a large number of enemies, and there is no need to be afraid of accidental injury."

Cao Cao didn't hang his appetite anymore, and directly said all his thoughts.

Ye Chen secretly slandered in his heart, it turned out that Cao Cao had been thinking about his cavalry, but it didn't matter, it wasn't just to let himself go into battle shirtless, and release arrows in the back, but the arrows suffered a big loss.

"Well, Meng De's plan is okay, then follow this, now let the soldiers have a good rest, set off at night on the second watch, ambush on the fourth watch, and attack immediately as soon as it is dawn." Huangfu Song is also a decisive person, and if he thinks that the plan is okay, he will implement it immediately.

After Ye Chen went back, he told everyone about the plan, and then asked everyone to prepare.

That night, everyone was ready at the time of the second watch, and the infantry began to set off, and Ye Chen and they didn't need to worry, because the cavalry was moving too much, and it was not appropriate to rely too forward.

There were only a few people in the Yellow Turban who were keeping vigil, and there was no one to guard a few miles away from the camp, so the Han army quietly touched it and solved their outposts first, their outposts were not arranged much, and there was no one to manage them, which was quite easy to solve.

The Han army touched the Yellow Turban camp a mile away, and at this time, the Yellow Turban had not yet found the Han army under his nose.

Ye Chen also led the escort battalion to wait three miles away, and at a distance of three miles, the speed of the cavalry was not enough to arrive in the blink of an eye.

In the Yellow Turban camp, everyone was asleep, completely unaware that outside their camp, tens of thousands of Han troops had surrounded them. Bu Ji has always been very smooth, plus he is sandwiched between Jizhou Zhangjiao and Yingchuan generation of Bocai, the Han army here is attracted by them in both directions, and he has no main force of the Han army on this way.

This situation slowly developed into a careless situation, and the resources and troops in his hands were transferred by Jizhou Zhang Jiao, so he didn't have much ambition and was not very positive.

This situation led to his defeat.
