Chapter 44: Dark Help
After hearing the news of Zhu Jun's defeat and retreat, Huangfu Song left 10,000 people to guard the Changshe, and personally led 50,000 elite soldiers to the east to support Zhu Jun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Liang had already found out the news, and ambushed in the mountains and forests between Changshe and Yanling in advance, waiting for the arrival of Huangfu Song's troops.
Huangfu Song has always been cautious in the use of troops, the army did not move, and the scouts sent hundreds. However, that beam is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has been engaged in underground work all year round, and his ability to camouflage and ambush is remarkable. Scouts of the officers and soldiers walked through the Yellow Turban Army's hideout and found nothing unusual.
According to historical records, when Huangfu Song was stationed in Changshe, he faced the dominant yellow turban, and adopted the tactic of sticking to it, and only waited for a long time, and the yellow turban supply could not be supplied, so he retreated by himself.
It is no wonder that Huangfu Song, the five schools and the Sanhe troops are lax in combat readiness, and even if they want to fight, they lack confidence.
Jiang Sheng also analyzed it this way, so he didn't expect to start the war so soon, but he just sent spies to secretly monitor Zhang Liang's camp, but Jiang Sheng was late, and when Jiang Sheng's spies of the cavalry found Zhang Liang's camp, Zhang Liang's ambush had already entered the battle position, and those who stayed were all guarding the camp.
Jiang Sheng was napping, and the news he got for three consecutive days was that the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses had not moved, so he was relieved. Yu Ban and Zhang He couldn't bear it anymore.
"Lord, it's not a way for us to stay here like this!" Zhang He said.
"Yes, I heard that the fighting in the north is fierce, and the brothers have itchy hands." Yu Ban echoed the road.
"What? I haven't fought for three days, and my hands are itchy? Okay, each of you will take ten horsemen to meet Nabocai. Jiang Sheng said.
"Huh? Ten rides? Zhang He and Yu Ban spoke in unison.
"yes, is there a problem?" Jiang Sheng said seriously.
"Ah, no, no problem!" Yu Ban and Zhang He left stupidly.
After a while, Deng Mao walked in.
"My lord, Wen Ze and Jun Yi each led ten horsemen out of the camp."
"Huh?!" Jiang Sheng is a spirit, these two boys are also obedient, and they said that if they let them take ten horses, they really take ten horses out, can't they hear that they are joking?
"Quick! Chase them back! Jiang Sheng said hurriedly.
"Yes!" Deng Mao turned around and ran out of the tent, and flew on his horse to chase Yu Ban and Zhang He.
Jiang Sheng's joke actually made Yu Ban and Zhang He take it seriously, Jiang Sheng also secretly regretted that for the loyal Yu Ban and Zhang He, anything Jiang Sheng said might be an order for them to follow. It seems that I can't talk nonsense in the future.
Jiang Sheng's original intention was that there were few soldiers now and he did not have the conditions to actively fight, but Yu Ban and Zhang He did not understand.
At both ends of the table, Huangfu Song's scouts probed for dozens of miles and there was no abnormality, so Huangfu Song ordered the army to march quickly and join Zhu Jun as soon as possible.
When the army of Huangfu Song marched to the barren forest, a gong was suddenly heard, and countless Yellow Turban troops poured out of the barren grass.
It was the ambush led by the general Zhang Liang of Rengong, and as soon as he saw Huangfu Song's army entering the ambush site, he immediately showed his banner.
Huangfu Song was shocked, and hurriedly commanded the army to organize defense, but the Yellow Turban soldiers were outnumbered, and the defense of the official army did not play much role, and the soldiers on the periphery had already fought together.
Zhang Liangzhong's military department changed its banner, and the Yellow Turban Army ambushed in the weeds and shrubs surrounded the officers and troops like a tide.
Huangfu Song looked at the situation on the battlefield and sneered: "Even with you rabble, you also want to eat me, I'm afraid you don't have this good tooth mouth yet!" The whole army listens to the order, the rear team becomes the front team, the target is long, and the forward department is behind! ”
Huangfu Song personally led the cavalry to the rear of the palace, and fought hard to kill, and the main force of the department retreated in an orderly manner. Since the Yellow Turban Army, which was sandwiched between Changshe, did not form an encirclement, Huangfu Song's army quickly broke through the encirclement.
Seeing that the situation was very good, Huangfu Song commanded the troops behind the palace to fight and retreat. Zhang Liang knew that if Huangfu Song withdrew to Changshe, it would be difficult to have a chance to destroy the enemy, so he urged the troops to rush and kill with all their might.
The pressure on the troops behind the Huangfu Song Palace suddenly soared, the number of dead and wounded rose sharply, and there was a yellow scarf on the flank, and the troops behind the official army were divided and surrounded, only to fight the trapped beasts. The cavalry guards escorted Huangfu Song to protrude and encircle, and retreated to Changshe.
Zhang Liang saw from afar that the main army general followed the main force to withdraw to Changshe, and he was in a hurry, and personally beat the war drum and ordered all departments to chase and kill.
At this time, he saw the smoke rising from the camp, and Zhang Liang secretly shouted that it was not good, it turned out that this Huangfu Song was playing a plan to attack the east and the west. Zhang Liang camp reserves a large number of materials, is the base camp of Yingchuan Yellow Turban, if there is a loss, then Yingchuan Yellow Turban is in danger!
Zhang Liang watched Huangfu Song's army withdraw to Changshe, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and quickly return to the defense camp.
How can it be so coincidental? Jiang Sheng's joke hit the right one by mistake. Yu Ban and Zhang He brought a total of twenty horsemen, and the two of them thought that Jiang Sheng was letting them capture the thief and capture the king first, and managed to get Bocai, so they rode lightly and rushed to the Bocai camp, but after walking out of the camp for more than ten miles, they found a heavily guarded Yellow Turban camp, and the two people thought that the Bocai camp was burned and moved here, so they touched it.
At that time, the defense positions of the two armies were: Zhu Jun's army was located in the northwest of Yanling, Bocai's army was located in the south of Zhu Jun's army, Zhang Liang's army was located in the west of Bocai's army, Huangfu Song's army was located in the east of Changshe and southwest of Zhangliang's army, and Jiang Sheng's cavalry battalion was in the south of the halfway point between Zhangliang and Bocai's army.
Yu Ban and Zhang He's direction was biased to the northwest, mistaking Zhang Liang's camp for the Bocai army. Seeing that it was unrealistic to enter the camp to make waves, the two of them learned Jiang Sheng's fire attack technique, and when they touched the vicinity of the camp, they didn't say a word, but lit the fire first. Zhang Liangjun's left-behind troops were extremely vigilant, and soon discovered the abnormality, and Yu Ban and Zhang He hurriedly led the army to escape.
The fire was not big, but it was a tent that was burning, and the fire spread rapidly, and the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly stopped the fire, and the open fire was quickly extinguished, but the smoke did not disperse for a long time. Zhang Liang was on a high place, saw the smoke of the camp, mistakenly thought that it was the sound of the officials and soldiers, and hurriedly waved the army to rescue, only to find that there was no danger when he returned to the camp.
Fortunately, thanks to Yu Ban and Zhang He's trouble, Zhang Liang withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, which gave Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song a chance to meet.
On that day, most of the Bocai camp was destroyed, and the seven orifices of Bocai's qi were smoked, and the troops were organized to launch several attacks on Zhu Jun, and the morale of Zhu Jun's army was not high after the new defeat, and it was difficult to resist in the face of wave after wave of attacks of the Bocai army, so he retreated west to join Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song's whole army withdrew to Changshe, and after counting, it was found that more than 3,000 people had died in battle, and the angry Huangfu Song beheaded the hundreds of scouts to set an example.
The remnants of Zhu Jun entered the camp of Changshe, and Huangfu Song went to Zhu Jun's army to visit. Zhu Jun told Huangfu Song about the recent combat situation. In ancient times, the left was the top, and Huangfu Song was the left middle general, and his position was higher than that of Zhu Jun, which was to comfort him.
Zhu Jun said: "In the battle with the Bocai Department that day, when our army was defeated and retreated, I was fortunate to have the timely assistance of Brother Huangfu, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Zhu Jun thanked you! ”
Huangfu Song wondered, "Where did Brother Zhu's words come from?" I have not assisted your ministry before. Yesterday I waved my army to aid your department, but on the way I fell into the ambush plan of the Yellow Turbans, but I want to thank you, if you didn't set fire to that Zhang Liang camp, my department is afraid that we will be defeated by the hands of that Zhang Liang. ”
Zhu Junqi said: "Brother Huangfu's words, where do you start, I led the remnants to take advantage of Zhang Liang's retreat to come to Changshe smoothly, but I never burned Zhang Liang's camp. Could it be other reinforcements? ”
Huangfu Song said: "Other reinforcements? I haven't heard of any reinforcements yet, could it be that the cavalry captain Cao Mengde? ”
