Chapter Seventy-Nine: Arson (Three More Requests for Subscription)
"Defeated!?" Outside the city of Changshe, Bo Cai's camp, looking at the Yellow Turban general who ran back to accept the crime with a disgraced face, Bo Cai looked at him in disbelief, even if the Yellow Turban Army's combat power was not high, but four thousand people fought two thousand county soldiers with the same low combat power, and they were defeated so quickly, not counting the marching time, this battle ended in less than half an hour.
The Yellow Turban General silently lowered his head, not daring to say anything, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Seeing him like this, Bo Cai was even more angry, and scolded: "Four thousand people fought two thousand county soldiers, and they were brought back in less than half an hour, you are really capable!" ”
"That Han army is not an ordinary county soldier, all of them are extremely brave, and they are ......" The yellow turban general carefully raised his head and glanced at Bocai, then buried his head lower, his chin was about to poke his stomach, and the voice became smaller and smaller the more he went to the back, and in the end, if he didn't listen carefully, he couldn't hear it.
"And what!?" Bocai lowered his head and glared at him fiercely.
"And...... The officers and troops were not all dispatched, but only ...... Only five ...... out 100 people! The Yellow Turban General said this almost on his stomach.
"Five hundred!?" Bo Cai now doesn't even have the strength to breathe, his eyes are round, staring at this person deadly, as the commander of the first army, he knows very well what this concept is, with one enemy and eight, and he wins, even Huangfu Song has never played such a record, otherwise Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will not be trapped in the long society by themselves and cannot get out.
Of course, this is also related to the small scale, but even so, 4,000 people went out, only to be driven back by 500 enemy troops, which is definitely a shameful record since the Taiping Rebellion.
"Come on, drag this waste that damages my military prestige out and cut it down!" Bo Cai stood up abruptly and stared at the Yellow Turban general.
"Qu Shuai, no!" Hearing this, Bocai's general, Chen Wei, hurriedly stood up, saluted Bocai, and said: "Shuai Qu, now that the war is coming, we will behead our own brothers first, wouldn't it be a joke for the officers and soldiers?" And I have also heard of Ye Zhao, I didn't think about it before, but after this incident, I remembered that this person had broken the meeting of our sect in Ji County, and even deceived Guan Hai, and deceived me into a conflict with the Hedong Wei family, which almost made my Taiping Sect be detected by the imperial court in advance. ”
"Is that so?" Bocai frowned.
"Qu Shuai has been running in the Central Plains for many years, I don't know about the north, this Ye Zhao is very human, he once served as the commander of Youzhou Macheng, not only made Macheng prosperous, but also defeated Xianbei and Wuhuan several times, last year he burned down the Xianbei elite in Macheng, killed Xianbei Shan Yu Helian, and served as the captain of Wuhuan Guard, it is by no means an idle county order, if it is not limited by his background, plus he is too young, now I am afraid that it is not only a Liang Guoxiang." Chen Wei bowed.
"In the imperial court, there is such a young hero?" Bo Cai's eyes widened in surprise, and then he regretted: "If I knew that this person had such a ability, I shouldn't have rushed to send troops!" ”
Chen Cheng said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time for accountability, now that Ye Zhao is coming to help, I am afraid that the imperial court reinforcements are also coming, I should break through the Changshe as soon as possible, first capture Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, in order to increase the prestige of our army, as long as these two people are defeated, then Ye Zhao has the ability again, with 2,000 soldiers and horses, he can't shake my 100,000 army!" ”
"It's just that with this person behind the back, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to attack the city with all its might!" Another Yellow Turban general frowned.
"What's so difficult about this, you can divide a team of soldiers and horses to watch that Ye Zhao." Chen Wei said with a smile.
"What do you think? Five hundred can defeat four thousand, and if we want to watch him, should we divide twenty thousand and bring horses? A yellow turban general frowned.
"Not necessarily!" Bo Cai waved his hand and said: "The defeat of this battle is a little underestimated, and besides, I don't want to have a hard encounter with him, just watch, 10,000 people are enough!" Chen Defeated, you personally lead the army to watch it, and then settle accounts with him on the day I break through the Changshe! ”
"Whoa!" Chen Yu took a step forward and bowed.
……
The long shrine, above the castle tower.
The official army did not have the depressed atmosphere as imagined, although it was defeated by Bocai, but at the moment it refused to defend the city, the law was strict, and the morale was sufficient, not like a defeated army at all.
Huangfu Song stood on the city tower, watching the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, for a long time, shook his head and smiled at Zhu Jun on the side: "Although this wave of talents has courage, but they have no resourcefulness, this kind of camp according to the grass is really a dead end!" ”
Zhu Jun nodded and smiled, although Bo Cai's previous performance was indeed amazing, but neither Huangfu Song nor Zhu Jun looked down on this person, especially now, Bo Cai committed such a taboo, which made them even more disdainful.
"This time, Your Majesty has lifted the ban on the party, and the grievances we have suffered over the years have finally been resolved, and when we pacify this yellow turban, we will no longer have to be attached to He Jin's butcher's door, and we will definitely assist Your Majesty at that time, drive out the eunuchs, and correct the unhealthy atmosphere in the court." Huangfu Song patted the women's wall, looked at the endless yellow turban camp outside the city, and sneered: "Let this wave be rampant for a while." ”
"Huh?" was chatting with Huangfu Song about some government affairs, Zhu Jun's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, looked at the direction of the Yellow Turban Army camp and said, "Brother Yizhen, look." ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song looked in the direction of the Yellow Turban Army, but saw that the Yellow Turban Army had actually divided a group of soldiers and horses in the direction of the rear formation and headed to the southeast.
The movement of tens of thousands of troops naturally couldn't hide from the eyes of these two veterans, and Huangfu Song frowned and said: "It seems that there was a team of soldiers and horses before, what is the intention of this wave?" ”
"Could it be that there are reinforcements here?" Zhu Jun twisted his eyebrows and guessed.
"Looking at this formation, I'm afraid there are a lot of reinforcements and horses." Huangfu Song's face also became ugly, and he was still counting on taking this opportunity to ask the court for some more money and food, if reinforcements came at this time, his plan would be ruined.
"But Bocai is only dividing troops to intercept, it seems that reinforcements have not arrived yet!" Zhu Jun nodded and looked at Huangfu Song.
"Just wait and see, the main force of Bocai is still there, and the reinforcements will not come to this point in the short term." Huangfu Song frowned and said: "But our army is placed in the Yellow Turban Army to make a detailed contact to reinforce the soldiers and horses, let him stay still, and when the time is ripe, he will take a plan to annihilate the thief army in one fell swoop." ”
Zhu Jun nodded and agreed when he heard this, the four doors were closed at this time, so naturally he couldn't contact secretly, so he had to wait for tonight to make contact.
……
Outside the city of Changshe, on a hill, Ye Zhao stood on the hill with Dian Wei and several relatives, carefully looking at the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.
Although Bocai was born in the wilderness, it is obvious that his years of experience and practice are not completely disorderly, at least this siege camp still has some level in Ye Zhao's opinion, and it is not divided into several scattered arrangements like Liang Fa, but this camp is ......
Ye Zhao looked at the surrounding terrain, shook his head, turned his horse's head and said, "Go back to the camp." ”
"Why did the lord come and leave, didn't he want to see the camp of these thieves?" Qiu Chi followed with a puzzled look on his face, looking at Ye Zhao puzzled.
"Don't look at it, tonight, I will break this camp!" Ye Zhao urged the horse back to the camp, and smiled without looking back.
Even if the camp of Bocai is set up well, it is useless, the water and fire are ruthless, Bocai has made a big taboo by setting up a camp with grass on his back, after a fire, no matter how strong the camp is, how can it be necessary to continue to observe this camp of Bocai? After Ye Zhao rushed back to the camp with Dian Wei, Qiu Chi and a group of personal guards, he immediately summoned Ding Li, Liao Chun and other generals to come to discuss the matter, and ordered Ding Li to select elite people to set fires.
As for whether the emperors in the city will send troops to help, Ye Zhao didn't think about it, since there is a chance to fight quickly, then these two must not be given a chance to stop themselves, this battle is the first priority, and killing the enemy is secondary.
In fact, in this war, Ye Zhaozhen didn't want to die too many people, in the final analysis, most of the Yellow Turban Army were actually a group of ordinary people, and it was not good for the whole country and nation to die too much.
……
Time passed bit by bit, the sun set, the night was getting thicker, and in the Yellow Turban camp, the Yellow Turban Army, who did not know that the crisis was approaching, had begun to gradually fall asleep.
The messenger sent by Zhu Jun took advantage of the night to touch into the barracks, found the Han army in the Yellow Turban Army, and was about to inform Zhu Jun of his orders, but suddenly heard bursts of exclamations from the camp, and at the same time around the Yellow Turban Army camp, I don't know when the fire broke out, spreading to this side, and after a while, the kung fu has burned to the camp, countless Yellow Turban soldiers were startled by the sudden fire, and they were panicking around, and some Yellow Turban Army generals rushed out of the camp tent, wanting the general's heart to be stable, but the army's heart was in chaos, where could it be stabilized.
Bo Cai found out that something was wrong for the first time, he didn't have time to put on his armor, he rushed out of the camp with his sword, but what caught his eye was a skyrocketing fire, he immediately reacted, and secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly pulled a general and said: "Quick, inform Peng Tuo and Chen to defeat them, and stop the soldiers and horses from retreating to Yangzhai!" ”
There were constant shouts of killing from all directions, which made the Yellow Turban Army even more chaotic, but Bo Cai could hear that there were not many Han troops around, not the main force of the official army in the city, it should be that the newcomer Ye Zhao saw the flaw and bluffed, but at this moment, it is impossible to continue to stay here, this fire is just burning the forage, but the lethality is not strong, but the army is in turmoil, and must flee as soon as possible, otherwise when the Han army of the Changshe reacts, it will really be over.
Under Bocai's organization, the Yellow Turban Army began to withdraw from the camp, and Ye Zhao led the army to storm it, but he only had one school of soldiers and horses under his command, no matter how powerful it was, it was impossible to kill the 100,000 army.
In the city of Changshe, there is no need to report in detail, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have been alarmed by the fire outside the city, when the two came to the city, they saw the chaos of the Yellow Turban Army, and in the night sky, there was a faint sound of the horn of the Han army.
"Who the hell is it that is bad for me!" Looking at the Yellow Turban Army fleeing in embarrassment, Huangfu Song was not happy and angry, and punched the female wall fiercely, with a gloomy color flashing in his eyes.
"The defeat of the Yellow Turban is decided, will we pursue it?" Zhu Jun frowned, but he was also from a poor family, although he lost his calculations, he was not as angry as Huangfu Song, and now he was thinking about whether to pursue while he was victorious.
"Chase!" Huangfu Song was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
Now, there is no way to delay it anymore, if you don't chase it at this time, he will attract tongue in the future, which is not good for you, so you will send troops first.
