Chapter 55: The Battle of Cangting

Bu Si was anxious, Dongwuyang's letter for help had been sent for two days, but the officers and troops who surrounded Cangting did not fight, and did not retreat, so Bu Si was in a dilemma. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Bu Si also saw that the official army wanted to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, but he had to send it, if he rescued Dongwuyang, he might be able to succeed, but if he gave up Cangting and stayed in Dongwuyang, if he didn't save it, it would be the end of Cangting when Dongwuyang was defeated.

Jiang Sheng sent a letter asking for help in the name of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongwuyang, urging Na Bu Si to send troops to rescue, but Bu Si did not move for a long time, and there were only three days before the agreed attack time, and Jiang Sheng was also anxious.

On this day, Bu Si was worried about whether to save or not, and the scout came to report.

"Marshal, the small probe has heard clearly, the officers and soldiers from Jibei and Dongping are all volunteers, and the supplies can't keep up these days, so they have all dispersed."

"Are you telling the truth?" Bu Si was a little excited, grabbed the scout's arm and asked.

"Most of Jibei has been dispersed, almost all of Dongping's have been withdrawn, and the marshal can send troops to cross the river."

"Don't act rashly, go quickly, go out eighty miles, and see if it's really withdrawn!"

The volunteer armies in Jibei and Dongping were really disbanded, and Jiang Sheng had enough time to buy for Huangfu Song.

After Bu Si confirmed that the information was correct, he organized the main force to cross the river west to support Nadong Wuyang.

At the same time, the Huangfu Song army launched a general attack on the Dongwuyang Yellow Turban Army, and the Dongwuyang Yellow Turban Army did not retreat, blocking the official army thirty miles west of Dongwuyang.

On the river on the west side of Cangting, thousands of boats loaded with Yellow Turban soldiers sailed to the opposite bank, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who were responsible for receiving them on the north bank were overjoyed when they saw the reinforcements coming to the north bank, and hurriedly went back to report to the commander.

At this time, hundreds of wooden boats upstream went down the river, full of fire-igniting things, which was also made according to Jiang Sheng's design plan, the bow of these ships was coated with white phosphorus, white phosphorus is the layer of things painted on the head of matches in later generations, the burning point is very low, there are forty degrees to burn, if you hit the wood at high speed, it will naturally burn.

The Yellow Turban reinforcements, who had already crossed the river to the center, watched the boats coming at a rapid pace, and thought that the officers and soldiers had come by boat to intercept the reinforcements, and they were all ready for battle.

When they got closer, the Yellow Turban Army on the boat saw what was on the boat, these panicked, some jumped, some helped row quickly, and it was noisy.

The fireship rushed into the Yellow Turban Army's ship formation at a great speed, but the impact destroyed hundreds of ships, and when the fireship cracked, it ignited white phosphorus, and suddenly burst into flames.

Bu Si saw billowing smoke rising from the river from a distance, and shouted that it was not good, it turned out that the killing move of the official army was here, fire attack! But it was too late for rescue, and Bu Si was so angry that he jumped like thunder.

There is a saying that when people are unlucky, they can choke to death by drinking saliva, and Bu Si is so unlucky, tens of thousands of soldiers were burned and drowned in the river.

The Yellow Turbans of Dongwuyang were defeated by the army of Huangfu Song, and retreated to the bank of the river, but there were no boats available, and the fire on the river also frightened them, and crossing the river was also a dead end.

When Bu Si was distressed, Jiang Shengjun started the attack battle of Cangting.

Jiang Sheng asked his three thousand cavalry to tie the oil altar with straw ropes, throw them into the Cangting camp like throwing a chain ball, and then ignite them with dense rockets.

Bu Si looked up and saw that the oil altar full of sky flew into the Yellow Turban camp and fell apart, and the fire oil in the altar splashed on the camp tents, deer and other combustibles, shouting that it was not good, and commanded the soldiers guarding the camp to quickly retreat, but it was too late.

The dense rockets had already poured in, and they ignited when they landed, and the Cangting camp was plunged into a sea of fire.

It is said that water and fire are ruthless, Jiang Sheng has been using fire to break the enemy since he joined the war, and this moment is no exception, Bu Si led the defenders to rush out of the sea of fire desperately, and when he was secretly rejoicing, Yu Ban appeared.

Yu Ban led more than 1,000 cavalry to rush over, Bu Si's troops were all infantry, and suffered heavy casualties under the impact of the cavalry, Bu Si led the remnants to escape the charge of Yu Ban's army, and fled to the east, but the road in front of him was not a smooth road, but Jiang Sheng's 2,000 cavalry.

Bu Sizhi felt that his eyes were dark, and his soldiers hurriedly supported him, "Dashuai, you go quickly, our palace!" "These Yellow Turban soldiers are quite loyal, and they use their flesh and blood to resist the attack of Jiang Sheng's cavalry.

Zhou Cang screamed "wow" and rushed forward, a ghost-headed knife like a meat grinder harvesting the lives of the Yellow Turban Army.

More than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers entangled Jiang Sheng's cavalry with their lives, and Bu Si escaped with his life. However, his bad luck has not yet come to an end, and Yu Ban has been waiting in front for a long time.

"Bu Si, you are desperate, and you still don't surrender?"

Bu Si didn't answer, turned around and ran, and Yu Ban led the army to surround him.

The Yellow Turban soldiers were indeed not afraid of death, and they would not retreat from the battle, Jiang Sheng ordered Zhou Cang to lead the army to fight, and led 500 horsemen to search for Bu Si's whereabouts.

It was getting late, Jiang Sheng secretly called it a pity, and ordered the whole army to rest on the spot. At this time, Yu Ban led the army over.

A person was tied to a war horse behind him, and Jiang Sheng asked, "Could it be Bu Si?" ā€

Yu Ban nodded, and arched his hand: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ā€

Jiang Shengxi said: "Wen Ze has made a great contribution, and I will recommend it to Huangfu Zhonglang." ā€

Yu Bandao: "The lord is kind, Wen Zexin understands it, he will only follow the lord in this life, and will never change the court!" ā€

Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Wen Zezhi's loyalty, why don't I know?" But of course, merit must be rewarded, Jiang was shy in his pocket, so he had to let Huangfu Zhonglang break the bank, haha. ā€

It was the 16th of July, the full moon was in the sky, the smoke and fire on the river were gone, only the broken boats and planks that had not been burned out were drifting with the waves, and 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were buried in the river.

Huangfu Song's army fought until dark, swept away the Yellow Turban of Dongwuyang, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue and take Yangping County in the north.

On the second day, Jiang Sheng, accompanied by Yu Ban, escorted Bu Si across the river to the camp of Huangfu Song in Dongwuyang, and was warmly greeted by Huangfu Song.

"Zicheng has decided to settle on Yanzhou, and now that the Yanzhou Yellow Turban is flat, we have to celebrate it, this Bu Si was also captured by Zicheng, and he has made a lot of achievements!"

"The general has won the award, if it weren't for the general's proper command, how could Zicheng have any credit at all, this Bu Si was also captured by the ban, not Zicheng's credit."

Yu Ban saw that Jiang Sheng really shirked the credit, and he was grateful, with such a lord, he had no regrets in this life.

"Oh? Yu Ban is Zicheng's part (private soldier), why should it be so clearly divided? Just give more rewards. As he spoke, Huangfu Song took Jiang Sheng's arm and walked into the big tent, so he was not affectionate.

That night, except for the garrison soldiers, the whole army drank and talked merrily, and it was very lively, which lasted until midnight.

The next day, several knights outside the gate turned over and dismounted, and strode into the camp.

"Zuo Zhonglang will take the order of Huangfu Song-" One of the knights said in a shrill voice, it turned out to be the little yellow gate sent by the imperial court to convey the will of the Spirit Emperor.
