Chapter 44: The Yellow Turban Rebellion VIII
A day later, Zou Jing led an army of 4,000 out of the city, leaving 1,000 regular defenders in the city, and 3,000 people to defend the city, and Liu Bei also led his own 300 righteous army and the 300 righteous army led by Zhang Fei to join forces, temporarily under the full command of Liu Bei, of course, the 300 people led by Zhang Fei were all Li family guards.
After three years of development, as the world becomes more and more turbulent, the Li family's guards have grown to nearly five hundred, before Dian Wei left to take away fifty people, this time Zhang Fei brought out three hundred people, and the remaining one hundred and five people all stayed in the city, responsible for protecting the family, led by Jian Yong.
Although Daxing Mountain is not big, it is just blocked between Zhuojun and Fanyang, so the march from Fanyang to Zhuojun must pass through Daxing Mountain.
At this time, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army was crossing this mountain road, and the Yellow Turban Pioneer Officer was Cheng Yuanzhi's deputy general Deng Mao, and Deng Mao was a Yellow Turban general, very brave.
"Report ~~~ General, there is a force in front to block the way of our army," the Yellow Turban Scout quickly came to Deng Mao and said.
"Oh~~ How many people are there, who led them" Deng Mao asked, only to see that Deng Mao was wearing leather armor, wearing a yellow scarf on his head, and his beard was like a weed, and his appearance was very fierce.
"The subordinates don't know, but the subordinates look at the clothes of their soldiers, and they don't seem to be regular Han troops, but they look like those so-called righteous soldiers, but there are three big banners in the enemy army, divided into Liu, Guan, and Zhang" The scout continued to pray.
"Hahaha~~~ The righteous army also dares to stop my Yellow Turban Heavenly Army, sons, go with the general to kill him, and leave no piece of armor" Deng Mao said with a laugh when he heard this, his tone was very disdainful.
"Kill~~~" Hearing Deng Mao shouting, the Yellow Turban Army began to rush forward in a swarm, at this time Liu Guanzhang in front of him had already been waiting for him, Deng Mao was riding a horse, so he was rushing in front of the battle at this time.
"I am Deng Mao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, you will come and die," I saw Deng Mao raise his knife and shout.
"The Yellow Turban anti-thief Hugh is going to be rampant, and the Yanren Zhang Yide is also coming" Hearing Deng Mao shouting, Zhang Fei was furious, and without waiting for Liu Bei to react, he raised the Zhangba snake spear and charged away.
Since the Yellow Turban Army started to raise troops, it attacked the prefectures and counties along the road, and there were few resistors, and occasionally encountered the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, which was outnumbered and powerful.
Therefore, seeing that there was a guy who was not afraid of death rushing towards him, Deng Mao was very excited and shouted, "Eat you, Grandpa Deng knife", and rushed out with his legs clamped around the horse.
With a sound of "sonorous ~~", Zhang Fei and Deng Mao staggered.
"Hiss~~~" Deng Mao's mouth was bleeding, and he almost couldn't hold the weapon in his hand.
"This black man has a lot of strength, I'm not an opponent," Deng Mao thought to himself, but he didn't see any movement yet.
"The thief army is killed" Zhang Fei's horse is one in a million, and at this time he has already turned the horse and rushed towards Deng Mao again, but Deng Mao heard an earth-shattering roar "kill" before he could react.
Then I felt that the whole person seemed to fly, and then ~~ there was no more, because Deng Mao at this time was stabbed by Zhang Fei with a spear, and when he declined, he was already dead and couldn't die anymore.
"Yide Shenyong" Liu Bei was originally worried about Zhang Fei, but before he could speak, he saw that Zhang Fei had killed the Yellow Turban Thief.
Seeing that Deng Mao was killed and the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, Liu Bei naturally would not let go of this great opportunity, and took advantage of the situation to cover up the past.
The Yellow Turban Army cried wolf and fled in all directions, until half an hour later, the shouting and killing slowly stopped, and at this time the Yellow Turban Army left nearly 2,000 catties of corpses, nearly 2,000 prisoners, and only a few hundred escaped, and then Liu Bei reported to Zou Jing and cleaned up the battlefield.
And Cheng Yuanzhi, who was far behind, also had to be told by the deserters, "Say~~ What happened ahead, why did you flee in such a mess, and where are the pioneers" Cheng Yuanzhi asked angrily at the yellow turban deserter who was brought to him by the scout.
"Qu Shuai, the little ones were ambushed by the Han army in front, and suffered heavy casualties, General Deng has been killed by a black-faced man in front of the battle, and the black-faced man is like a ghost, and he stabbed General Deng to death in one round" The yellow turban deserter knelt on the ground and cried.
"Hmph~~ Escape from the battle, drag it down and behead" After hearing what the deserter said, Cheng Yuanzhi was furious.
"Qu Shuai spare his life, Qu Shuai spare his life" Listening to Cheng Yuanzhi's words, the deserter cried and worshiped on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Qu Shuai, and put this person away, and wait for the exact news to be made.
I saw Cheng Yuanzhi standing up left and right, and the two of them said.
"Pull him down," Cheng Yuanzhi, who heard his confidant, waved his hand impatiently.
Since then, the Yellow Turban Army has intermittently fled hundreds of people, all kinds of answers are available, some say that the Han army is numerous, all over the mountains, and some people say that the Han army is only a few hundred people, but all of them are like giants, with one enemy ten, and extremely fierce, cut when they see people, kill every person, and some people say that the Han army has a black-faced man, kill Deng Mao with a spell, and then scatter beans into soldiers, but the most said is that Deng Mao was killed by a black-faced man of the Han army.
"What do you think" Hearing these strange answers, Cheng Yuanzhi asked his cronies with a headache.
"Qu Shuai, my subordinates think that most of these statements are not credible, if the Han army is really numerous, I am afraid that it has already fought with our army, why wait until this time, and it is necessary to ambush in Daxing Mountain, so my subordinates think that the Han army is not much, and my subordinates also heard a scout who asked for it back said that these Han troops are not regular troops, but are composed of righteous troops."
"Hmm~~" Huang Shi was reasonable, and hearing the words of the cronie, Cheng Yuanzhi nodded and said.
"Qu Shuai, there is another point, which his subordinates don't think can be trusted," another of Cheng Yuanzhi's cronies stepped forward and said.
"Oh, let's hear it," Cheng Yuanzhi said, looking at his other cronies.
"Deng Xianxian's martial arts are second only to Qu Shuai in our army, and Qu Shuai's bravery in the world who does not know, all the way to the county town, Qu Shuai must be the first in every battle, killing countless enemies, so the villain believes that Deng Xianfeng should be lured into the trap by the Han army, only to be besieged and killed by the Han army, just besieged Deng Xianxian, there is a black-faced strong man, who showed great courage when besieged, and will be falsely spread by the people who fled back, saying so powerful" The second cronie said.
"Hmm~~ What Wang Shui said is also very reasonable, Ben Shuai still needs fifty rounds to win Deng Xianxian," Cheng Yuanzhi touched the slag in his jaw and said thoughtfully.
"Qu Shuai Shenwu, he is actually the first fierce general of my Yellow Turban Army," the cronies on the left and right snapped their ass.
"Then what do you think our army should do" After enjoying the sycophants, Cheng Yuanzhi asked Huang Shi and Wang Shui.
"Qu Shuai, since General Digong left, our army has not made an inch of success now, and if it goes on like this, it is really ~~~" Huang Shi and Wang Shui said in unison.
"Hmph~~~ Command the whole army, you can set off and rush to Daxing Mountain, this commander wants to attack Zhuojun tonight" Cheng Yuanzhi shouted.
When the two returned to Cheng Yuanzhi, they each had a black cloth tied to their arms, and when Cheng Yuanzhi led the army to Daxing Mountain, they didn't know that there were actually two thousand cavalry hanging far behind them.
