Chapter 41: Decisive Victory
This valley is like a gourd-shaped, the east end is narrow, the west section is wide, the Yellow Turban Army enters from the east, Zou Jing's cavalry is easy to plug the mouth, and the west section is Zou Jing's heavy guard, and a large number of deer are set up.

Sima Ju was carried away by the victory, and personally led the team into the valley, and Zou Jing secretly applauded.
And immediately behind Sima Ju's soldiers and horses was Xu He's troops, who still had some brains, and after rushing in, he found that the terrain was not good, so he ordered to stop the march.
Zou Jing also discovered Xu Hejun's abnormality, the fighter plane was fleeting, and he had to send it at this moment. Then the drums of war sounded, and arrows and rocks poured down from the sky.
Most of the Yellow Turbans were dressed in leather armor and were defenseless against condescending arrows, killing and wounding thousands of people in a single round of fire.
Xu He's troops retreated under the command of Xu He, but after all, they were mixed with Sima Ju's department, Sima Ju saw that the front was open, which was conducive to escaping, and commanded the troops to rush forward desperately, but Xu He's army broke through in the opposite direction. The parts of the two armies that were glued together were suddenly in chaos, and they couldn't find the north.
In fact, there are still loopholes in Zou Jing's deployment, and the art of war is cloudy: there is a possibility of breaking through the encirclement, and the enemy will never sacrifice his life to fight to the death.
Zhang Fei led the cavalry to block Xu He's way, and Xu He's troops were in a dilemma. At this time, it was surrounded on all sides, and the Yellow Turban Army would of course choose a relatively easy direction to break through.
Xu He roared: "The enemy army in the east is weak, kill it!" ”
After hearing Xu He's military order, the Yellow Turban Army rushed desperately into battle, horizontal and vertical is a death, and there is a possibility of survival if you fight. As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans who are in a hurry to escape, Zhang Fei's cavalry did not take much advantage.
In the ensuing battle, Xu and more than ten people fought against Zhang Fei's cavalry, even if Zhang Fei was brave, he could not withstand such a decisive battle regardless of the cost, in order to preserve his strength, Zhang Fei gave up the interception.
Sima Ju was not as lucky as Xu He, the longbows on both sides of the valley were full of strings, this time they used rockets, the wild grass in the valley was very flammable, a round of rockets came down, the valley was blazing, Sima Ju's department screamed again and again, and suffered heavy casualties.
Sima Ju led the team to fight desperately to the mouth of the valley, but saw the deer on the ground and the main force of the Youzhou army waiting behind the deer.
When Liu Bei saw Sima Ju rushing over, he immediately ordered the archers to shoot, Sima Ju was hit by an arrow in the door, and the blood flowed profusely, but he still waved a big knife and rushed forward to kill, but he was a man.
The second round of bow and arrow shooting began, and Sima Ju was shot into a hedgehog, already dead. Sima Ju is dead, and his subordinates are rushing around like headless flies. Liu Bei saw that the time was ripe, so he ordered Guan Yu to lead a cavalry into the valley.
Guan Yu took the lead, none of the Yellow Turban Army under the Qinglong Yanyue Knife survived, and Zou Jing also commanded the soldiers on both wings to fight into the valley. The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and Sima Ju's troops were completely annihilated.
Xu He led the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Division to quickly move closer to the Linzi camp after breaking out of the encirclement, but when he was about to arrive, he found that the smoke was billowing from the camp, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
It turned out that Jiang Sheng's cavalry did not fight an encirclement battle according to the predetermined plan after completing the task of luring the enemy, but quickly marched eastward and raided the Yellow Turban Battalion.
Sima Ju's camp was relatively close, and he first encountered Jiang Sheng's cavalry.
Due to Sima Ju's greed for merit, only a small number of young and strong soldiers and the old, weak, sick and disabled guarded the camp, Jiang Sheng's cavalry almost effortlessly entered the camp when he arrived, and the young and strong soldiers died on the spot, and some of the old and weak surrendered on their knees.
Jiang Sheng ordered these people to flee for their lives, and then burned Sima Ju's camp to the ground.
Xu He's camp was less than twenty miles away from Linzi City, and he had already seen smoke coming out of Sima Ju's camp, and he was fighting with equipment.
If Xu He's remnants returned to the camp, the attack would be more difficult, so Jiang Sheng decided to take a risk and pack up the camp before Xu He returned.
Two hundred cavalry rushed over in a fan shape, and the defenders of the Yellow Turban battalion sounded the horn to meet the enemy.
A round of bows and arrows was fired, and Jiang Sheng's cavalry injured more than ten people, but fortunately, they were all slightly injured and did not affect the attack. Deng Mao, who was hit by three arrows, rushed to the camp first with a big knife, and the wooden gate was abolished by his three or five knives, and Zhang He followed closely and covered up.
After the breakthrough of the gate, there was no danger in the camp, and in the face of the neat cavalry slashing, the Yellow Turban Army was like being slaughtered by others, and there was no morale. The left-behind troops of more than 3,000 people were scattered by Jiang Sheng's cavalry, and they could not organize an effective counterattack.
Xu He's Yellow Turban camp was soon littered with corpses and a mess.
Jiang Sheng ordered Zhang He to quickly search for valuable items in the camp, let the soldiers carry them separately, and lit fires in many places in the camp. In front of the raging fire, Jiang Sheng's two hundred horsemen regrouped together.
Xu He saw the smoke billowing from his camp from afar, and knew that he was being taken by the officials and soldiers, so he hurriedly commanded the remnants to go north.
The remnant sun is like blood, and the blood on the battlefield has become a stream, as if it wants to merge with the remnant sun.
Liu Bei suggested that Zou Jing take advantage of the victory to pursue and strike while the iron was hot. Although Zou Jing had concerns about the night battle, he still decided to fight continuously and be sure to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army.
Zou Jing ordered Guan Zhang to move closer to Linzi from the north and south directions, and ordered Liu Bei to lead the main force of the Chinese army to Linzi.
When the herald went to look for Jiang Sheng's cavalry, he didn't find it, and Zou Jing had no choice but to go with Jiang Sheng.
In fact, Jiang Sheng was not idle, after he found out that Xu He led the army north, he immediately sent scouts into Linzi City to contact Gong Jing and agreed on a strategy to break the enemy.
Xu He's infantry was a large number, and although they were defeated and fled, the marching speed was not fast. Jiang Sheng's cavalry was already waiting in formation on his way through.
Xu He saw the murderous aura of Jiang Sheng's cavalry, thinking that the main force of the Youzhou army was already here, and in a panic, he ordered the team to turn east to join the besieging team.
Jiang Sheng's cavalry team followed from afar, and sent someone to contact Zou Jing to explain the strategy of breaking the enemy.
After Xu He joined up with the besieging forces, he discussed countermeasures. The leader of the besieging forces was none other than Guan Hai of the Beihai Kingdom. The siege of Qingzhou is not mentioned in the history books, but only appeared a few years later when the troops besieged Beihai.
Suddenly, a drum was heard, and the shouts of killing in the sky came from far and near, and Guan Hai hurriedly ordered all troops to meet the enemy, but it was too late.
Jiang Sheng's cavalry had already broken through the first line of defense and opened the camp gate, Liu Bei entered with the trend, Zou Jing followed, and tens of thousands of troops fought at the entrance of the Guanhai camp.
After Gong Jing heard the sound of war drums outside the city, he immediately organized the officials, soldiers, militia and other living forces in the city to counterattack. Linzi City, which had been closed for more than a month, opened the city gate at this moment, and the Linzi soldiers and civilians came out with various weapons and shouting slogans.
The Yellow Turban Army did not expect that the Qingzhou official army that did not dare to fight for a month would suddenly attack, and the Yellow Turban Army soon could not resist under the enemy's back, Xu He organized the personal guards to break through to the death, but was blocked back by Jiang Sheng's cavalry, and the two armies entered a state of stalemate, fighting endlessly.
Zhang He took the lead and went straight to Xu He, Xu He's personal soldiers were hacked to death and injured most of them by Zhang He, and it was difficult to resist Zhang He's offensive, Xu He raised his knife to resist and was cut off by Zhang He. Zhang He's blade was not finished, and he directly split Na Xu He in half.
