Chapter 45: Besieged
Huangfu Song was racking his brains to analyze who this team was secretly helping, but he couldn't figure it out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhu Jun said: "Maybe it's Cao Mengde's army." If it is really him, he will come and inform us, and maybe the mystery will soon be revealed. ”
Huangfu Song said: "Okay, you and I will meet the two armies, and the strength is equivalent to the Yellow Turban, and we have the conditions to fight, so we don't have to consider who the reinforcements are." After three days of rest, the whole army fought to the death with the Yellow Turbans. ”
Zhu Jun said: "That's right! ”
Three days later, Huangfu Song beat the drum and gathered the generals, agreed on the banner of the three armies, and attacked Bocai and Zhang Liang in two ways.
After Zhu Jun waved his army to retreat westward, Bocai also adjusted his deployment and joined forces with Zhang Liang's troops. The armies of both sides are ready to go.
In the past few days when the two armies have been holding each other, Jiang Sheng has not been idle. Yu Ban led several horsemen to go north early to investigate the situation in Jizhou.
Lu Zhi has been running the north for many years, familiar with the natural climate and customs, he has his own strategy of pacifying the chaos, and the tactics of encircling but not fighting make Zhang Jiao restless, although Guangzong said that the city is high and the walls are thick, but the reserves are always limited, plus the people in the city, the consumption is fast, as long as it supports for a few months, Guangzong collapsed without a fight.
At this time, the court made a stupid move, needless to say that it was Zuo Feng's ghost, when he inspected the war in Jizhou that day, Lu Zhi was lazy, and did not give gifts, Zuo Feng was annoyed and ashamed, and said that Lu Zhi was not effective in resisting the enemy in front of Zhang Rang and other eunuchs with real power.
Although Emperor Ling said that the party ban was lifted, he still favored the eunuch group, Zuo Feng's fabricated rumors let Zhang Rang say it, and Emperor Ling actually believed it, so he issued an edict to reprimand Lu Zhi for not resisting the enemy effectively, and returned to Beijing to ask for guilt.
That Dong Zhuo was full of interest, and he was rash against the enemy, repeatedly attacked Guangzong, and suffered heavy losses, Zhang Jiao quickly figured out Dong Zhuo's combat characteristics, and saw the opportunity to sneak attack a few times, none of which failed. Dong Zhuo just wanted a quick victory, and he didn't think about the failure of the small fight at all, but Zhang Jiao accumulated a small victory into a big victory, looted some materials and transported them to Guangzong City, which can be regarded as having the hope of turning defeat into victory.
Dong Zhuojun's morale was low, and he still repeated the actions of attacking, retreating, attacking again, and retreating, so that he was angry. Finally seized the opportunity by that horn.
Just when Jiang Sheng burned the Bocai camp, the Jizhou battlefield started!
Zhang Jiao took the initiative to fight!
Dong Zhuo dispatched troops to try to forcibly crush him with encirclement tactics, and that angle was not a fuel-efficient lamp, organizing the Yellow Turban Army to defend frontally and outflank it, Dong Zhuo's army was defeated again and again, most of the troops did not expect Zhang Jiao to take the initiative to attack, coupled with low morale, they were broken up by the Yellow Turban after a few rounds of charges.
Dong Zhuo fought with foreign cavalry in Xiliang all the year round and had rich experience, but after arriving in Jizhou, the tactical methods were a little unrealistic, the Yellow Turban Army was also a civilian and a soldier, and would never engage in a decisive battle and positional warfare with the official army.
Dong Zhuo concentrated the main force to fight the Yellow Turban Army, but it was often not the main force, such as using artillery to fight mosquitoes, with little effect. After more than ten days of fighting, Dong Zhuo also realized the operational characteristics of the Yellow Turban Army, so the troops were divided into ten routes and organized small-scale battles.
Zhang Jiao skillfully used militia tactics to find out where Dong Zhuo's army was, so he launched an attack at night, Dong Zhuo's army was strictly defended, but was forced by the Yellow Turban Army step by step, and the night was fiercely fought, the Chinese army camp was broken by the Yellow Turban Army, Dong Zhuo only led dozens of personal soldiers to fight out of the encirclement, but was chased by Zhang Jiao's army.
Dong Zhuo secretly shouted: "It's not good, I, Dong Zhuo, am afraid that I will die here!" ”
Just when Dong Zhuo was desperate, dozens of horsemen came from the southeast, the leader was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, but behind him was a snake spear. It was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei led dozens of cavalry to follow.
Although the Yellow Turban pursuers were numerous, Liu Guanzhang was a cavalry after all, and the Yellow Turban pursuers suffered heavy losses in one round of charge, coupled with Guan Zhang's terrifying combat power, they could no longer hold the situation and scattered and retreated.
Liu Guanzhang suddenly killed and saved Dong Zhuo's life.
After Dong Zhuo gathered his troops, he set up camp and arranged defenses to prevent Zhang Jiao's army from taking advantage of the chaos to attack.
Dong Zhuo sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and said to Liu Bei: "Yesterday, fortunately, you came to the rescue in time, our family thanked you, I don't know your name and official position?" ”
Liu Bei replied respectfully: "After King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are also, these two are my righteous brothers, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. ”
Dong Zhuo said: "I see that Xuande has very few troops, I don't know what kind of military position Xuande is?" Dong Zhuo was not at all interested in the "Queen of Zhongshan Jingwang" introduced by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei said: "In Xia Naibai (that is, civilians), raise volunteers to suppress thieves and serve the country, but many of the helpless soldiers have left the team, plus the losses of several major battles, it is to leave only dozens of personal guards. ”
As soon as Dong Zhuo heard that Liu Bei was white, his attitude immediately cooled down, he was a dignified general, and he actually asked a white-bodied person to rescue him, but he couldn't hold his face.
After a few cold greetings, Dong Zhuo issued an eviction order, saying that he wanted to find an official and a half position for Liu Bei and others, but Liu Bei waited for more than ten days and couldn't see Dong Zhuo's side, let alone find an official and a half position.
"Damn, Dong Zhuo, this bastard thing, is untrustworthy and ruthless!" Zhang Fei scolded angrily.
"Yide must not talk nonsense, you must know that the wall has ears, Dong Zhuo is the person who will repay him, if he hears it, how can you and my brother live?"
"Big brother, it's not a way to wait like this. We'll have to plan ahead. Guan Yu said.
"I wanted to come to Jizhou to join my mentor Lu Zhi, but unexpectedly, my mentor had been sent to Beijing to ask for guilt. saved this Dong Zhuo, but was given a cold reception. Alas, my Liu Bei was born at the wrong time! ”
"Why should I be discouraged? There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here. Yingchuan Zhu Jun is a loyal person, so it is better to vote for Zhu Jun. Guan Yu said.
"Well, what Yun Chang said is reasonable, so let's go to Zhu Jun." Liu Bei has made up his mind.
The battle situation in Jizhou was accurately heard by Yu Ban, and it was transmitted to Jiang Sheng.
"It seems that history has not changed, but it's a pity that this Lu Zhonglang, otherwise Jizhou would have been pacified. This is our good opportunity, and it's time for the Yingchuan Yellow Turban to end. Jiang Sheng muttered to himself.
Although Zhang He and Deng Mao didn't understand what Jiang Sheng meant, they were used to it, so they didn't need to understand this kind of words, anyway, Jiang Sheng would make arrangements for specific combat operations later.
Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's troops divided into two routes, launching an attack from the northwest and southwest, and Zhang Liang's troops bore the brunt of the fierce battle with the official army. Bocai is near the left, attacking Zhu Jun's department from the flank,
The two armies killed in the dark, from sunrise to sunset, and then hastily withdrew their troops. The two armies were not idle at night, Huangfu Song sent troops to attack the Bocai camp, but Zhang Liang sent troops to attack Zhu Jun's camp, and the battle was hot all night until the hour. Zhang Liang and Bocai gathered their troops and entered a defensive posture.
The two armies of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were also exhausted, and went to gather their troops, but at this time an uninvited guest came.
Rengong General Zhang Bao learned that the two armies fought hard for a day and a night, and it was when the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, so he led the troops to support the battle.
The officers and troops were caught off guard, and were defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, Huangfu Song commanded the troops to fight and retreat, all of them retreated to Changshe, refused to defend the city, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, and Bocai surrounded Changshe, set up camp, and besieged but did not attack.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were helpless and couldn't sleep all night, when a knight came from outside the camp and said that he had come to see Huangfu Song on the order of the lord.
