Chapter 61: The Duel of Fate VI
The pouring rain, the raging winds, the lightning that swept through the air from time to time, and the "booming" thunder all indicate that this will not be a peaceful night.
Zhang Bao's calm face could not see a trace of information, but tonight was a fateful night, and tonight was a night that decided whether the Han army lived or the Yellow Turban army lived.
Guo Da and Zhou Cang had already arrived in the makeshift wooden house. At this moment, the two stood side by side in front of Zhang Bao, with resolute faces and eyes looking directly at Zhang Bao, just waiting for General Digong's order.
"Zhou Cang, you have followed your eldest brother since you were a child, and you have contributed a lot to the establishment of the Yellow Turban Army."
"Don't dare, the general has won the award."
Zhang Bao waved his hand and interrupted Zhou Cang. "Merit is merit, there is no such thing as an award. Guo Da, you were on the way to Luoyang before our army rebelled, and I remember that you wanted to grab a horse at that time. ”
Guo Da was a little embarrassed and said: "Guo Da was ignorant at that time, he offended the general, and he hoped that the general would forgive him." ”
Zhang Bao shook his head, looked at the two of them calmly for a long time, and said: "The Yellow Turban Army revolted in response to the world, and then the Han Dynasty is a thin camel bigger than a horse after all, and we are now facing a moment of life and death." Do you two regret it? ”
"General, I Zhoucang is a rough man who doesn't know how to speak, but I know loyalty. Since I have followed the general, then I will follow the general for the rest of my life. Zhou Cang knelt on the ground and replied sonorously.
Guo Da's language is even shorter: "Life and death follow the general." ”
Zhang Bao patted the two of them on the shoulder with his hand.
"As the old saying goes: Instead of loving a child and surviving, it is better to abandon a child and win. We are hiding here in order to delay Zhu Jun's cavalry, and since we have the opportunity, we will eat this army and horses. ”
"General, is this okay? We only have 2,000 infantry, and the enemy is an elite cavalry, although a little less than our troops, but its combat effectiveness far exceeds our army, how can we eat this soldier and horse? Guo Da was a little worried.
"Yes, our army is congenitally weaker than the enemy. But not on weekdays, but tonight. Today, it rains heavily, thunder and lightning, and this is a godsend. Zhang Bao paused, looked at the two of them, and said, "It depends on whether the two of you have the guts." ”
Zhou Cang jumped up directly and said: "General, Zhou Cang's life is the general's, a certain family is not afraid of death, can you still have the guts.?" ”
Guo Da also said calmly: "Guo Da is willing to go to the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot for the general, and then die." ”
Zhang Bao said with a bitter face: "You don't need to go up to Dao Mountain or get off the oil pot, but tonight's move is extremely dangerous, and I don't know how many brothers can come back alive." ”
"General, since we dare to follow the general Yellow Turban uprising, we don't take this life to heart, general, you give an order."
Zhou Cang said fearlessly.
"Okay, the enemy army has just arrived, and Zhu Jun is bent on taking down someone's head, but today it suddenly rained heavily, and his camp must be built in a hurry. Taking advantage of the thunderstorm, it is not easy for the enemy to find out the surrounding information. The three of us each led a troop of soldiers and horses, Guo Da you led 700 people down the mountain to ambush on the left side around the enemy army, and Zhou Cang you led 700 people to quickly go down the mountain and ambush on the right side of the enemy camp, remember not to let the enemy find out. I led the rest of my men straight into the camp. When the two of you saw me rushing into the camp, then the troops suddenly entered from the left and right, and cut the commander's banner first, and the thunder and lightning in the rain could also help our army's might, even if the Zhu Jun immortal descended to earth, the enemy army would be defeated. Zhang Bao said the strategy simply.
"General, I think let's change it, the general is ambushing around the enemy, and I lead the soldiers and horses to rush and kill first?" Guo Dazhi said with an objection.
Zhang Bao shook his head and said: "I have received your wishes, but as the coach, I must take the lead." Only in this way can the maximum morale of our army be raised. ”
What else Guo Da wanted to say. Zhang Bao directly interrupted him and said, "Okay, don't say much, go and get ready quickly." ”
Suddenly, it rained heavily, which made Zhu Jun feel irritable for a while. The heavy rain hindered the mobility of the cavalry, and after this heavy rain, the ground was soaked in rain, and it was also soft, and the cavalry galloped on it, making it difficult to give full play to the advantage of speed.
Thinking of Zhu Jun here, I feel that God is really blind. Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was about to be wiped out, a heavy rain wiped out his advantage.
"Zhu Gong." Cao Cao braved the rain to come to Zhu Jun's tent, which was built in a hurry in the rain and looked unusually short. It can't be compared with the big battalion that is usually built at all.
"Why is Meng De so alarmed?" Zhu Jun handed Cao Cao a piece of cloth and asked him to dry the rain on his face so as not to catch the wind chill, which was a very troublesome thing during the march.
Cao Cao wiped it a few times, and said a little anxiously: "General, since I returned, I didn't see soldiers patrolling in the rain." I always feel uneasy in my heart, and it is very likely that the thief Zhang Bao will take advantage of the rain to launch an attack on our army. ”
Zhu Jun is not a mediocre general, and his irritability just now made him lose his usual calmness. After Cao Cao's reminder, I suddenly realized that the pouring rain was both an obstacle and an opportunity.
"Someone, hurry up and send scouts to investigate the movement of the yellow turbans in the mountains." Zhu Jun secretly blamed himself in his heart, it was too dereliction of duty to not deploy such an important matter in advance.
However, one wrong step, one wrong step. A slight mistake by Zhu Jun allowed Zhang Bao to seize the opportunity.
The pouring rain, a flash of light slammed through the sky, followed by a loud rumbling bang, what a giant-like roar, so earth-shattering. The flash of light made everything around him look like a devil's fangning face.
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
The Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Bao bared its fangs in the thunderstorm, and the sound of killing shook the sky, as if it wanted to suppress the rolling thunder in the sky.
"Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom" The thunder in the sky was even more deafening, as if angry because of the provocation of the Yellow Turban Army, and the rolling thunder was accompanied by lightning, and the sky and earth were eclipsed.
Countless Han soldiers woke up in their sleep, but what awaited them was a sharp steel knife. With a slash, Han Jun's frightened face remained on the tumbling head.
"General, the enemy is attacking the camp~" A bloodied Han soldier staggered into Zhu Jun's camp, leaving the last sentence and falling to the ground and dying. A huge knife wound on the waist, blood gushing and flowing.
Zhu Jun and Cao Cao rushed out of the camp, and at this time the camp had already become a hellish scene, countless corpses fell to the ground, and in the dark night, it was impossible to see whether it was the corpses of the Han army or the Yellow Turban army.
"General, you go and quickly reorganize the troops, and I will go to stop the enemy general." After that, he didn't take Zhu Jun to speak, rode on a war horse that he didn't know who it was, and went straight to Zhang Bao with a knife.
"I just said goodbye to my brother, but I didn't expect to meet so soon. Or reunion in such a scene. Cao Cao slowly pointed his weapon at Zhang Bao and said.
Zhang Bao also wiped the blood stains on the blade with the rain, and tightened the strip of cloth wrapped around the hand holding the hilt. "Brother Meng De, after today, maybe only you and I will be alive in the world."
The rain rolled down the two of them, and a flash of lightning suddenly swept across the sky, and by the light of an instant, the two of them moved at the same time.
The moment the weapon struck, a muffled thunder rolled in. A loud thunder that seemed to cheer on these two fateful opponents. The tremendous force caused the two horses to retreat at the same time.
"Again." Zhang Bao raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed at Cao Cao again, this knife was not fancy, there was no skill at all, but the steel knife with a "hiss" sound that cut through the air was so creepy.
However, Cao Cao was fearless, and said loudly: "It's a good time." The same steel knife was raised, the same action, the same momentum came towards Zhang Bao.
Both of them are life-for-life plays, no martial arts, no skills for them, some are just this amazing slash.
The lightning flashed, and the weird smiles on the faces of the two in the heavy rain were touching and creepy.
