Chapter 548: Guan Yun Chang can be ranked first
At night, the wind is high and the moon is dark, the stars and the moon are sneaking, and the fierce wind that has been raging for several days is still great, attracting the Han army flag on the city wall of Xihua County to flutter constantly.
At the time of the third watch, in the east gate of Xihua County, the soldiers of the Han army who were hurriedly assembled were on standby in the east gate after eating wine and meat.
Huangfu Song just explained the night attack strategy to the Han army assembled in front of him, and then looked at the Han army banner on the head of the city, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "God help me!" The Great Breaker Army is here today! So he ordered the Han army sergeants to bundle a handful of grass, and the elite cavalry of the Han army under the command of Fuquan and the newly recruited cavalry in the city were the vanguard, and went out of the city to attack the thieves.
The east gate of Xihua County slowly opened, and countless Han troops quickly left the city, all the way to the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Barracks. At this moment, in the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Barracks, the campfire was gradually extinguished, the fighting was silent, and countless Yellow Turban Moth Thieves who had fought hard day and day had already fallen asleep, only some elite Moth Thieves soldiers arranged by Peng Tuo were patrolling inside and outside the camp.
Along the way, the Han army did not hide its whereabouts, there were too many yellow turban moth thieves, scouts were scattered, and the Han army had great skills, and it was impossible to lurk into the thief camp silently. It is better to take advantage of the large number of cavalry of the Han army, with the power of the cavalry to quickly eliminate the enemy who came along the road, rush into the thief camp and set fire, and then take advantage of the chaos of the enemy camp to work with the main force of the Han army after the thief camp.
However, it is said that the Han army, under the leadership of the generals of the various departments, led the army out of the city, and the first to bear the brunt was the cavalry of Fuquan led by Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others, and the Liangzhou cavalry formed by the new and old soldiers of Huangfu Song led by Ju Yi and Huangfu Li.
The Yellow Turban Moth thieves have the ability to besiege the city, so the place where their army camped is not far from Xihua County, the Han cavalry galloped all the way, the horses under the crotch spread their hooves and went straight, the torches in their hands were swayed by the strong wind brought by the speed of the horse, as if they didn't know when, and suddenly wanted to go out.
Along the way, from time to time encountered dozens of nearly 100 patrol soldiers of yellow turban moth thieves, but they could not stop the elite Han cavalry, either because of the small number of people, slaughtered by the Han cavalry, or directly by the Han army iron cavalry rushed out of the formation, threw off the horse and ignored it, and was finally eliminated by the Han army foot soldiers who came later.
In a few moments, the cavalry of the Han army had arrived at the camp of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves, and at this moment, many thieves were awakened by the movement outside the camp, or were told to get up and fight. The alert and those who had been notified long ago left the camp one after another, ready to look for weapons to meet the battle, while those who were slow to react and were not notified were still asking what had happened with their hazy sleepy eyes, and many of them were still naked and not yet wearing clothes and armor.
Of course, the Han army can ignore the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, the Han Army Iron Cavalry of the front army, looking at the obviously not very strong gate of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Camp, violently twitched the horsewhip, and the horses under the crotch were in pain, surging towards the walled gate.
"Bang" a loud sound, the gate collapsed without accident, and then the fierce Han cavalry, one hand with a knife, the other hand with a torch, only with their own skilled equestrian skills, with their thighs to control the horse, while continuing the waist force, kill the Yellow Turban Moth Thief who came to block, on the other hand, and around the Yellow Turban Moth Thief's tent, grain and grass and other places, arson and shouted "The Han army is strong, Peng Escape has fled, quickly descend" rumors, for a time, the Yellow Turban Thief Battalion was on fire like a star, shouting loudly.
In the distance, at the east gate of Xihua County, Huangfu Song took Fuquan and Zhu Jun to watch the battle outside the city. Seeing that the cavalry of the Han army had entered the camp of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, and the moth thieves were on fire in the camp, they immediately ordered people to light torches on the city wall, echoing each other.
All of a sudden, inside and outside the city of Xihua County, the mountains and fields were full of firelight, which seemed to burn the dark and silent sky, and there was a great tendency to burn the sky and the earth.
It was only at this time that the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who were still sleeping soundly felt that something was wrong, and after being awakened by the scorching fire in the camp and the shouts of the soldiers, they couldn't help but be shocked, and when they came out of the tent, they saw that the fire in the camp was full of fire, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind to burn the front camp red.
Countless Yellow Turban Moth thieves hurriedly found armored soldiers to wear, or looked for the main general to assemble, or a group of several people to intercept the Han army entering the camp. However, their idea was good, but after the Han cavalry set fire, they rushed and slashed everywhere under the orders of the generals of various departments.
The Han army is not a vegetarian, whether it is the hundred battle elite cavalry under the command of Fuquan or the Liangzhou cavalry of Huangfu Song, they are all proficient in cavalry warfare. Perhaps the more than 1,000 newly recruited cavalry under the command of Huangfu Song are not of good quality in the war horses under their crotches, but when it comes to the cavalry that controls these war horses, the personal military quality of these cavalry is not low. On the border of Liangzhou, they confronted countless Kongmahu tribes who invaded the territory of the rebellious Han family, whether they fought on foot or on horse, their military qualities were not comparable to those of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, many of whom were temporarily formed by the displaced people.
I saw that the Yellow Turban Moth Thief camp shouted and killed constantly, and the Han cavalry galloped across the barracks, and on the periphery of the thief camp, every single moth thief was killed. When encountering a large number of moth thieves, then several cavalry in one, under the leadership of the generals of each department, rode horses into its formation, chiseled through the thief formation, it is a burst of fierce rush and kill, never let these yellow turban moth thieves outside the camp have an easy opportunity to establish resistance, once there are a large number of yellow turban moth thieves assembled, immediately cut down these signs to extinguish.
Of course, because the cavalry of the Han army was scarce compared to the more than 200,000 yellow turban moth thieves, in the strategy formulated by Huangfu Song before the war, they were not required to break through the Chinese army, but just let them clean up the moth thieves on the periphery, and wait for the main force of the Han army's infantry army to kill, and the two armies combined divisions to directly kill the Chinese army camp of the yellow turban moth thieves.
The Yellow Turban Moth Thief is in the big tent of the Chinese army, Peng Tuo looked at the situation of the camp, the flames between Zhang Tian, the soldiers under his command panicked, the horses were not as good as the saddle, the people were not as good as the armor, many people scattered in all directions, and immediately said angrily: "I don't want the Han thieves to attack, it's really annoying!" ”
However, in the face of the chaotic situation in the camp, Peng Tuo also had to take measures, and after thinking quickly, he immediately ordered the officers and men of the Chinese army to guard the camp of the Chinese army. At the same time, they continued to gather the collapsed soldiers, and at the big tent of the Chinese army, relying on the topography of the camp, they established a narrow defensive formation, so as to resist the impact of the Han cavalry, but if someone attacked the big tent of the Chinese army, they would kill them regardless of the enemy and me.
Peng Tuo knew very well that the top priority at the moment was to organize a certain amount of resistance as soon as possible in order to defend himself.
Originally, tonight, after considering the strategic deployment of tomorrow's siege, Peng Tuo spent a moment in the tent, and then was awakened by the shouts outside the camp.
However, the military discipline of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves was scattered, and the weakness of insufficient training was reflected, until the Han cavalry turned the camp upside down, and the people who really gathered around Peng Tuo, except for the thousands of Taiping Dao believers he trusted the most, there were only a few hundred Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, and the others either died under the knives of the Han cavalry, or were still on the periphery of the camp, facing the Han army's butcher knife to dodge and resist.
However, their resistance was of little use, and they had no mobility and sprinting power, and in the face of the Han cavalry, they could only stay in place, and the Han cavalry that was killed by the left and right were exhausted little by little.
What's even more terrifying is that because of the fire and the sudden and rapid attack of the Han cavalry, most of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves are in a mess. There are even quite a few Yellow Turban Moth thieves who don't have much combat experience. Seeing this scene, he immediately collapsed, no longer responded to the battle, and fled from the camp.
In this way, after a few more moments, after leaving the city, the Han army infantry that came all the way finally rushed to the Yellow Turban Moth Thief camp. They saw the scene of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief camp, of course they didn't need to, the generals of each department led their own soldiers, and the cavalry to fight into the depths of the thief camp.
At the big tent of the Chinese army, tens of thousands of yellow turban moth thieves have been slowly assembled at this moment, and they are in a panic, when they suddenly hear Jin coming agitatedly, and when they look at it, tens of thousands of Han army foot soldiers are surging towards the middle tent under the leadership of thousands of iron cavalry, and most of them can't help but tremble.
The strength of the cavalry of the Han army, here and Runan, Chen Guo Han army fought the Yellow Turban Moth thieves naturally know, and these Han cavalry in front of them are not ordinary cavalry, but the Han cavalry that has just swept away the commander of Bo Cai Qu, thinking that Bo Cai Qu Shuai is so talented and amazing, he was wiped out by the Han army, which is also not due to the fact that those Yellow Turban Moth thieves are frightened by the surging Han cavalry.
As soon as they came into contact, the Yellow Turban Moth thieves were broken by the Han army's iron cavalry, and the thieves were so frightened that most of them ran backwards crying, trampling on each other in a panic, and countless dead and wounded. When Peng Tuo saw the fleeing defeated army, he was shocked, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to slash and kill, and they must not be allowed to crush his own Chinese army.
However, there were too many defeated troops rushing in, and the Chinese army camp couldn't bear to face these crying and screaming brothers, so the hand was a little slower, and the big camp was knocked open, and the defeated army poured in like a tide.
Fortunately, Peng Tuo was also prepared, and lined up in the open space in the middle and shouted: "Disperse!" Disperse! Crash into the middle army, die! "When the defeated army fled here saw their general, their hearts were at ease, and their senses were restored, and when they heard the shouting, they did not need to say more, and they ran to both sides, and those who hesitated a little died under the rain of arrows and spears.
After that, the Han cavalry rushed in, and Peng Tuo knew that he had to inspire morale at this moment before he could fight, so he ordered an army and led the army to take the lead in attacking the Han cavalry from the flank.
However, it was said that Guan Yu, the pioneer of the Han cavalry, saw that the thief would be vicious in the future, and he was not afraid at all, so he dragged his knife to meet him, and shouted in his mouth: "Come and get a name, and a certain family will not kill the nameless!" ”
However, Peng Tuo laughed, ignored it at all, when the two horses were staggered, he used all his strength to slash down on Guan Yu's body, Guan Yu made a knife block, "dang" After a loud sound came, Guan Yu shook twice on the horse, his right arm was numb, and he said that this thief had a lot of strength, and immediately reined in his mind and responded calmly.
On the other side, Peng took off his horse's head and swung his sword again, shouting at the same time: "Fight again!" ”
Guan Yu saw that Peng Tuo was so arrogant in front of him, which made him make a fool of himself in front of the Han cavalry, and couldn't help but be furious, and then slapped his horse and danced his sword to fight Peng Tuo, and at the same time ordered the Han cavalry behind him not to interfere, so that they could follow the other cavalry and attack the Chinese army directly.
In fact, Peng Tuo's martial arts skills are not high, just now he completely relied on surprise, and he was prepared to use all his strength earlier than Guan Yu, which made Guan Yu make a mistake. Now, Guan Yu is serious about fighting, he is naturally not an opponent, in the first few rounds, Peng Tuo can still parry some, but as Guan Yu's knife becomes more and more aggressive, Peng Tuo is no longer difficult to fight, and finally Guan Yu sees the opportunity and slashes it in the chest.
One blow was hit, and then the door of Pengtuo Cave was wide open, and then he couldn't fight with Guan Yu, so he shook his body and planted under the horse. Seeing this, Guan Yu laughed loudly, and was about to take his head, but a team of yellow turban moth thieves suddenly appeared, desperately snatched Peng Tuo's body back, and when he wanted to chase it again, he had already disappeared into the crowd of yellow turban moth thieves who were resisting to the death, and disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Guan Yu realized that the identity of the thief who fought with him just now was definitely not ordinary, and then he heard countless moth thieves shouting and running, and when he heard the voice of the words "Qu Shuai is not dead, don't panic", he was furious and said: "Moth thief!" Leave Peng to take off the head and leave! ”
Subsequently, the horses followed the other Han cavalry, and successively broke into the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Army, and at the same time, the Han army's foot soldiers also poured in one after another, and the victory or defeat of the situation was already visible.
At this moment, in the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Array, countless people were shocked when they saw Peng fall off the horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Many small leaders of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves raised their eyes to look around, and saw the flames all over the sky, and the soldiers scattered and fled, knowing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, and it was difficult to recover, so they led their headquarters to break through all the way.
In the chaos, seeing that the boss may not know whether he is alive or dead, countless moths and thieves fled by themselves, and the rest of the people were of course even more panicked. So the Han army's horse infantry soldiers saw this and killed even more.
More than 200,000 Yellow Turban Moth thieves collapsed in an instant, scattered and fled, and on the battlefield, only the loyal Taiping Dao believers under Peng Tuo's command resisted the Han army to the death, but their resistance was obviously in vain.
In the scorching heat of the cold night, the blood and the shouts, there were only countless mournful voices, shouting as if singing the last swan song in life: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! "It's just that whether their slogan can be realized or not, it is estimated that they will not know if they die......
It wasn't until dawn that the Han army killed the last resisting Yellow Turban Moth thief, checked the people and horses, and found that this fight was fought overnight, tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans were awarded, and tens of thousands of prisoners were captured, most of whom were old and weak women and children, and the rest fled without a trace.
Those Yellow Turban Moth thieves were all smoky, many burned, and were shocked by the momentum of the Han army's crazy slaughter all night, and they were all like ants at this moment, and they obeyed the orders of the Han army without life.
Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Fu Quan entered the thief camp during the day, and after some soldiers under them came to sweep the battlefield, the thief leader Peng was immediately overjoyed.
When he learned that Peng Tuo was beheaded to the ground by Guan Yu, and after being snatched back from the body, he couldn't be rescued and died of excessive bleeding, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun couldn't help but say in a sour tone of envy: "Yun Changzhen is the first fierce general of the country, and we are very evil!" ”
In this regard, Fu Quan just smiled and said indifferently: "Don't be like this, the two Zhonglang are under my command, and they can't be the first, what is the first fierce general?" ”
The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and Zhu Jun asked, "Then what is Guan Yunchang?" ”
"I don't know!"
"Why?"
"There are still a few people under my command who are equal to Yun Chang, and it is very difficult to rank who is the first!" After speaking, Fu Quan kept shaking his head and said, "It's difficult! It's hard! ”
“……”
Seeing this, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun thought of the famous generals Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and others under Fuquan's command, and they really had the urge to kill Fuquan in their hearts, if there were one or two tiger generals like Guan Yu under the others, they should all die of laughter, but Fuquan seemed to have a bunch of them, which was really envious, jealous and hateful!
