Chapter 43: Missteps

Seeing Jiang Sheng's sincere expression, Yu Ban hesitated for a moment, then turned over and dismounted, and bowed his hand and said: "In this case, Wen Ze should be a pawn of the horse and follow the lord!" ā€

Although Jiang Sheng has a heart for talent, he didn't expect Yu Ban to be willing to follow him so happily, and then it was normal to think about it, at this time Yu Ban can be said to be a nobody, after seeing the power of Jiang Sheng's cavalry, he had a heart of worship, and saw Jiang Sheng's sincere acceptance, so simply.

Jiang Sheng was banned, and after resting for the night, he continued to go south through Dongping Kingdom, Renchengguo, Shanyang County, and Chenliu County, and arrived at Yanling County, Yingchuan County, ten days later. Jiang Sheng sent scouts to investigate the surrounding military situation.

The spies came to report that traces of yellow turbans were found twenty miles west of Yanling County, and judging from the number of buried pots, they should be the main force of Yingchuan yellow turbans.

Jiang Sheng said: "I'll wait for a guest from afar, let's see the situation first." Pass the order down, camp and rest tonight, and find an opportunity to fight tomorrow. ā€

The Yellow Turban Army in the area from Yanling to Changshe, led by the Rengong generals Zhang Liang and Bo Cai, had been confronted by the main force of the official army led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun for many days.

In the early morning of the second day after Jiang Sheng arrived, Youzhonglang organized Zhu Jun to launch an attack on the Bocai army. The drums of war rang out with the morning wind, and the sound of shouting and killing enveloped the four fields. Bocai ordered the Yellow Turban to fight a frontal defense, and personally led the main force to the flank.

Zhu Jun, led by the cavalry, took the lead in organizing the charge. The yellow turbans were mostly foot soldiers, but under the command of Bocai, they built high camps, and they were distributed in a zigzag shape, and they were not afraid of the cavalry charging formation.

The deer barn set up in front of the camp was dozens of zhang long, blocking the impact of Zhu Jun's cavalry, and the cavalry who rushed to the front could not hold their foot, and crashed into the deer bar, and the flesh and blood flew sideways. The cavalry behind rushed up closely, and countless officers and soldiers trampled to death.

As soon as the cavalry came to their senses, a dense array of arrows flew out of the Yellow Turban camp, and at such a close distance, nine out of ten of those who were hit by the arrows were killed on the spot.

The cavalry charge was declared a failure, and Zhu Jun had no choice but to withdraw his troops. In Zhu Jun's view, the Yellow Turban Army is still mainly defensive. This time the charge failed, Zhu Jun gathered his troops and studied countermeasures separately.

But the battlefield did not allow Zhu Jun to relax a little, and as soon as the various units were gathered back, the Bocai army launched a charge. Zhu Jun really didn't expect Bo to take the initiative to charge, and hurriedly beat the drum to meet the enemy.

More than 1,000 cavalry in the Bocai army did not directly participate in the battle, but toured on the flank, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops scattered their formations and rushed towards Zhu Jun's army, and the battle directly entered a white-hot state. Fighting! There is only one option: fighting!

After all, Zhu Junjun was one of the main forces of the soldiers of the Five Colonels and the Three Rivers Cavalry, and he quickly reacted. Fight with the Yellow Turbans to one place. The war drums of both sides resounded in the sky, and the sound of the clash of weapons mingled with it.

From early morning to mid-afternoon, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and at this time the two armies couldn't stop, and the soldiers were red-eyed and refused to give an inch.

Bocai saw that both sides were defeated, so he ordered the cavalry to take Zhu Jun, and the Bocai cavalry used scimitars, specializing in harvesting heads, and the foot soldiers in front of the Chinese army sacrificed their lives to resist, but the heads flew all over the sky, and the blood flowed like a river.

Zhu Jun also saw Bocai's intentions, so he ordered all departments to return to defense, after all, Bocai's cavalry was small in number, and it did not take much advantage under the siege of Zhu Jun's main army, and soon more than half of them were killed and wounded. Bo Cai was frightened when he saw it from a high place, and hurriedly called Jin to withdraw his troops.

The Yellow Turban Army, which had already fought with the officers and soldiers, turned a deaf ear and had only one belief: either be killed or killed!

Bo Cai immediately made a decision and urgently ordered the troops on the periphery to retreat, if this entanglement continues, the two armies may have to be removed, and Bo Cai can't afford to lose, because this is the main force of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, and it is also the thoughts of the Yellow Turban believers in the world!

In the evening, the two armies ended the battle and returned to their respective camps. The battle lasted for seven hours, with more than half of Zhu Jun's army killed and wounded, and nearly 10,000 Bocai's army killed and wounded, both of which were defeated.

Zhang Liang, the general of Rengong, reported that Huangfu Song was about to move, and Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, also led an army to help, so that Bocai could quickly fight and decide.

Bo knew that if the main force of Huangfu Song and Cao Cao's cavalry came to help, the consequences would be unimaginable, so he gathered the generals overnight to plan tactics.

Jiang Shengjun just waited and watched, and had no intention of fighting. After a day of observation, Jiang Sheng generally mastered the tactical methods of the Bocai army and the command characteristics of the Bocai, and in his opinion, the chances of victory of the Bocai army may be even greater.

After dawn, only a small number of troops were left to guard the camp, and most of the rest of the soldiers marched in formation, and Bocai personally led the cavalry as the vanguard, opening the curtain of the decisive battle.

Under the desperate attack of the Bocai Yellow Turban Army, Zhu Jun's army had to retreat. In the face of the momentum of the whole go, the Yellow Turban Army entered the official army camp in an overwhelming state. Zhu Jun commanded all his troops to resist hard, but they could no longer reverse the situation on the battlefield.

Bo Cai saw that the official army was losing and retreating, so he ordered all the troops to beat the drum and march, and he must defeat Zhu Jun. At a time when the situation on the front was favorable to the Yellow Turbans, the rear battalion was suffering.

When the battle was in full swing in front, Jiang Sheng began to engage in sneak attacks again. Yu Ban and Zhang He each led 50 people to break into the Yellow Turban camp in the north and south directions, and Deng Mao led the army to set fire everywhere.

The Yanling area has always been arid, although the solar terms have entered the summer, but the climate is dry, everywhere is combustible, although the number of Jiang Sheng's cavalry is small, but the wind is fierce, the huge Yellow Turban camp fell into a sea of fire, a large number of reserves of materials were burned, and the Yellow Turban Army left behind were all killed.

A soldier had already rushed to Bo Cai's side to report the fire in the camp, Bo Cai was shocked, he thought that Cao Cao's reinforcements had arrived, and hurriedly retreated. It is said that when the two armies were fighting, they suddenly withdrew their troops, and they would be counterattacked by the other party, but Bocai analyzed the situation, and Zhu Jun's troops were defeated and retreated one after another, and they would have no morale to counterattack, so they decided to gamble, regardless of Zhu Jun, and save the camp first.

The Yellow Turban Army didn't know why, so they followed the retreat in a chaotic manner, and the tactical retreat became a real rout, the formation was chaotic, and Bo Cai secretly shouted that it was not good, but tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army retreated like a tide, and they couldn't contain it at all, if Zhu Jun launched a counterattack at this time, the Yellow Turban would be defeated!

Zhu Jun has always been conservative with his troops, but at this time, he was continuously killed and retreated by the Bocai army for more than ten miles, and the whole army was exhausted, where could he take care of the counterattack? This time, Bocai won the bet!

Jiang Shengjun set fire everywhere, and the Yellow Turban Camp, which stretched for several miles, was destroyed, and the sky was red in the sky.

Jiang Sheng saw that the Yellow Turban Army was coming like a tide, and it was simply a rout, and he expected Zhu Jun to organize a counterattack at this time, but until the Yellow Turban Army was less than ten miles away from the camp, Zhu Jun's army still had no sign of attacking.

"Lord, without further ado, don't care about that Zhu Jun, let's withdraw." Yu Ban urged.

"It's a pity! Pity! Why didn't Zhu Jun launch a counteroffensive? Jiang Sheng shouted that it was a pity, gathered the team and fled.

Although Zhu Jun is conservative in his use of troops, it is not entirely Zhu Jun's responsibility to miss the great opportunity, Jiang Sheng is secretly dispatched, Zhu Jun does not know who burned the Yellow Turban Camp, in case it is the bitter plan of the Bocai Army to lead Zhu Jun into the army, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

The news of Zhu Jun's defeat and retreat reached Huangfu Song's army, and Huangfu Song was determined to rescue Zhu Jun, so he ordered the entire army to march eastward. The same news also reached Zhang Liang's ears, and he couldn't be idle.
