Chapter 111: More than Defeat

The next day, in the early morning, on the beacon tower as high as three zhang, Ye Zhao looked at the railing, and the yellow turban camp on the other side was in full view, whether it was the yellow scarf of Liang Guo or the yellow turban of Yingchuan and Runan, there were still some rules and regulations for Bocai's subordinates, and the rest of the camps were all flowering everywhere, but this Nanyang yellow scarf made Ye Zhao see the shadow of some troops.

Ye Zhao did not attack immediately, but carefully observed the layout of the Yellow Turban Army from the beacon tower.

Compared to the elite sent by the imperial court this time, but it is no longer a rabble, Zhang Mancheng's predecessor was a general of the Han army, leading the troops to fight with a hand, and now it seems that he is really a general's talent, just the layout of this camp, although the hardware can not keep up, but the layout is staggered, and the army is not as crooked as the yellow turban seen before, see the micro-knowledge, Zhao Hong is only a general under Zhang Mancheng, and there is already such a weather, this battle of Nanyang, I am afraid it will take time~

Of course, if you win or lose, before the war, you have already lost, the yellow scarf lacks hardware, not only the equipment and baggage, but also talents like Zhang Mancheng, a Zhang Mancheng, can not reverse the general trend of the world, let alone really compete with the imperial court.

"Woo woo ~ woo woo ~"

The roaring horn sounded, this was a signal for Huangfu Song to urge him to attack, Ye Zhao glanced at the direction from which the voice came, picked up the order flag in his hand, and in the same way, the red order flag waved down fiercely in Ye Zhao's hand.

"Knock knock~"

In the rumbling war drums, under the leadership of Liu Bei's three brothers, the straw man who had been loaded overnight according to Ye Zhao's request yesterday swam quickly towards the opposite bank like an arrow.

"Shoot the arrows!"

On the other side, the Yellow Turban Army had already lined up a formation along the coast, and when Liu Bei and the others approached, a rain of arrows shot out, Ye Zhao's eyes shrank, such an arrow array was already comparable to the arrow array of the Han army.

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

The dense sound of breaking the air was heavy, and the soldiers on the boats had already hidden behind the straw men, and the dense arrows fell on the boats, many of which were tied to the straw men, and there were also unlucky soldiers who were injured or killed by the arrow clusters shot through the gaps, but it did not affect the overall situation, and a hundred boats were still in a neat queue and marched towards the opposite shore in the predetermined direction.

On the beacon tower, Ye Zhao looked at the direction of the flag fluttering, the wind direction did not deviate much from the result he asked the farmer, but the wind was not strong enough to meet expectations, but it was enough to make the ship's foothold within the error range calculated yesterday, and if it went on like this, landing was at least not a problem.

Yesterday, Yuan Shudu built ten beacon towers, one every other mile, on the beacon tower five miles away from Ye Zhao's beacon tower, Huangfu Song silently looked at the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, observing the movement of the Yellow Turban Army's troops, with Ye Zhao's attack, the Yellow Turban Army did transfer a part of it to the downstream support, but it was only a part, and there was still some distance from his expectations.

"Woo woo woo~"

In the distance, in the direction of Ye Zhao, in the rumbling war drums, the melodious horn also sounded, Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Huangfu Song and said: "This is Xiuming's signal, general, is it time for our army to move?" ”

"No hurry!" Huangfu Song said indifferently: "The main force of the Yellow Turban Army is still there, wait a little longer." ”

The main force of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite bank was not mobilized because of Ye Zhao's attack, and it was obvious that Ye Zhao's offensive strength had not yet reached the point where the Yellow Turban Army would go all out.

"General, there are only 5,000 people on Captain Ye's side, and the Yellow Turban thieves have a lot of troops this time, and it is rare to be able to mobilize these, and if our army does not fight again, I am afraid that the fighter will be delayed!" Cao Cao frowned and looked at Huangfu Song.

"Wait." Huangfu Song shook his head: "You are too underestimated that Ye Xiuming, although this son is unpleasant, but in the march and battle, he does have some attainments, at this time, he should not have done his best, wait and prepare, wait for my signal." ”

Seeing this, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could only sigh helplessly, and each got off the beacon tower and went to prepare, even if Yuan Shao's family background was good, but he was not a descendant, in this kind of place, he didn't have the courage to scold Huangfu Song like Ye Zhao, and mentioning it could be regarded as fulfilling the righteousness of a friend.

On Ye Zhao's side, the horn had already been issued, but the main army over there had not made any moves, and he knew that Huangfu Song had obviously not absolutely grasped the crossing of the river, in this case, it was not that Huangfu Song really embarrassed him, but that he did not know Ye Zhao's plan, so he would not set off until the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was mobilized.

Since I didn't want to take the risk, I accepted it.

Glancing at Huangfu Song's direction, Ye Zhao didn't pay any attention to it, from the beginning, since he was going to participate in this battle, he was not prepared to rely on friendly forces, he was used to fighting alone.

Ahead, Liu Bei's three brothers had already approached the opposite shore under the rain of arrows from the Yellow Turban Army, and several ships had stopped or capsized directly because the boat was full of arrows or the soldiers on the ship were shot by stray arrows, but the overall situation had been decided.

"Knock Knock ~ Knock Knock ~"

With the wave of Ye Zhaoling's flag, the rhythm of the drum suddenly changed.

Ahead, Liu Bei and the three of them heard the sound of drums, their faces were overjoyed, and at the same time they ordered to ignite the fire and abandon the ship.

But seeing on the river, nearly 100 boats were quickly ignited, and the soldiers on the boats jumped into the water, pushing the boats to continue moving forward behind the boat, under the effect of inertia and the blessing of the wind, although the boats slowed down, they were still approaching the shore, and at the same time, Ding Li and Fang Yue each led 100 boats out of the formation, blocking the sight of the Yellow Turban Army with the flames, and quickly approached the opposite bank.

"It's not good, get back!" The yellow turban guards on the shore had already discovered the other party's straw man before, but in order to prevent the other party from approaching, he still kept shooting arrows, and now he saw the other party igniting the boat, and quickly sensed the other party's intentions, and quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat, and then continued to release arrows, the shore was bare, and the role of the ignition of the boat was to block the enemy's sight and facilitate the main force led by Fang Yue and Ding Li to approach.

Without waiting for the other party to retreat to the rear, Ding Li and Fang Yue had quickly approached the burning boats, and at the same time, clusters of arrows filled with fire oil were quickly ignited, and as a large number of boats approached the shore, Ding Li and Fang Yue ordered at the same time.

"Whoosh~"

Patches of fire arrows rose into the air, slicing through the sky with beautiful arcs of fire, and fell into the camp of the Yellow Turban Army like a popular fall.

Just as Ye Zhao analyzed yesterday, although the Yellow Turban Army in the Western Hubei Battalion is already considered elite, but the shortcomings of the Yellow Turban Army in hardware are difficult to make up, except for a few tents in the barracks, most of the soldiers are holding hay to resist the cold wind at night, it can be said that the camp is full of hay, and at this moment it was rained down by the fire arrows in the sky, and it was ignited in pieces.

The Yellow Turban Army, which was originally preparing to retreat to the camp, fell directly into the sea of fire, and the formation was broken in an instant, so how could there be a chance to form a formation to resist the enemy.

"Kill~"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have already swam ashore with their soldiers first, and when they saw the chaos of the thief army, Zhang Feihu roared, and rushed away first.

Seeing this, Liu Bei pulled out his double-strand sword and took Guan Yu and the soldiers who landed on the shore into the crowd.

"What's going on? Who got into the enemy's ranks!? On the other side, Ye Zhao stood on the beacon tower, frowning and watching the officers and soldiers constantly rushing into the Yellow Turban Army, his face changed, and he asked sharply, and immediately a messenger went to inquire, and soon there was news.

"Lord, it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who led their troops into the enemy camp!" The messenger came back to report.

Ye Zhao felt his temples jump, he suddenly understood Huangfu Song's feelings, it was really not a wonderful thing to have a subordinate who liked to be good at making claims, especially when the plan had already been set, but it was his own people who came to break the situation, that feeling, really unhappy.

"Don't mind him! The army quickly crossed the river, ordered Ding Li and Fang Yue to form a formation on the opposite bank, and only shot into the enemy camp with fire arrows, expanding the fire, and did not trespass! Ye Zhao quickly came down from the beacon tower, and orders were issued one after another: "Quickly cross the river, our army must establish a foothold on the opposite bank before the arrival of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army!" ”

As for Liu Bei's life and death, do his, it's better to die, and it will be difficult to escape military law if he lives!

There are not enough boats, plus most of them are on the side of the main force of Huangfu Song, and Ye Zhao's side is only divided into three hundred, one hundred of which are made into assault boats, which can no longer be used, so they can only use the remaining two hundred boats to transport soldiers back and forth, which is also the main reason why Ye Zhao does not allow the enemy to advance lightly, and the enemy is rash before he can stand firm, and he can't keep up with the follow-up, how brave are you?

Liu Bei died when he died, and what made Ye Zhao feel distressed was the three hundred soldiers sent to follow Liu Bei, which was equivalent to being killed by Liu Bei.

Ye Zhao quickly arrived on the opposite bank with the main force, and it took half an hour for the two hundred ships to transport all Ye Zhao's troops over, and at the same time, Zhao Hong's main force saw the fire on this side, and hurriedly gathered the main force and killed this side.

Liu Bei and others killed Zhenghuan, but they met Zhao Hong with the main force coming, and the three of them were shocked to realize that except for the soldiers they brought ashore, there were no reinforcements behind them.

It didn't matter if he was shocked, but Zhang Fei shouted: "Big brother, what about our people!?" ”

His voice was very loud, and this roar suddenly calmed down the soldiers who were killing and were excited, and when he looked back, in addition to them, Ye Zhao's large army had been isolated on the other side of the sea of fire, and the fire was taking advantage of the wind and was rapidly advancing to this side, and suddenly the morale of one by one plummeted, and he was startled in a cold sweat.

The monstrous fire forced them to rush towards Zhao Hong's side.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Hong looked at the three hundred centaurs in front of him and shouted through gritted teeth.

"Withdraw!" Liu Bei's face was panicked, and he hurriedly pulled the two brothers to turn around and leave, ignoring the soldiers who followed him.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

The roaring rain of arrows swept over, accompanied by a terrible scream, three hundred soldiers were almost wiped out under Zhao Hong's wave of arrow rain, Zhao Hong glanced at the fire, and said angrily: "Clean up the hay around and stop the fire from spreading!" ”
