Chapter 39: The Shooting Star Hammer
Zhang Xiang still arrived at Daxing Mountain one step ahead of the Yellow Turban Vanguard Army, and only then did Zhang Xiang find that Liu Bei was not as honest as he appeared to be, and Daxing Mountain was indeed conducive to the defensive side, but it was definitely not to the point where it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The northern mountains are not as steep as the southern mountains, although the majestic Daxing Mountain Zhang Xiang also occupies a bit of geographical advantage, but there are no natural dangers to defend, at most it can only achieve unexpected results.
There is such a sentence, there is no condition to create conditions for yourself, Zhang Xiang this time in front of Zhuojun Qunhao boasted that Haikou hit the Yellow Turban pioneer, if it fails, the shame is small, and the loss of the trust of the Qunhao is big.
Zhang Xiang could only stand up to his head, Zhang Xiang found that there was a place that was very suitable for ambush, although the mountains on both sides were not obvious, but the forests were lush and suitable for the Tibetans, as long as they could hold the speed of the Yellow Turban Vanguard's assault, they could kill the enemy.
The soldiers of the Xiangfei army have something to do, Zhang Xiang ordered to dig three trenches in the ambush place, you must know that the mountain road in the ambush site chosen by Zhang Xiang is very wide, this is a big project!
It was summer when the soldiers were sweating like rain below, Zhang Fei and the others went down to work, they all tried their best to speed up the speed of digging trenches, only Zhang Xiang was the most casual on the side, sitting in the shade of the trees, drinking the tea sent by Zhen Ti, watching the people below work, this feeling was like a rich man in the countryside.
Ruan Yu looked at it and shook her head, she didn't understand why a delicious and lazy little thief like Zhang Xiang would let Zhang Fei and the others surrender willingly, he was really underbeaten like this.
Zhang Xiang also saw Ruan Yu's opinion of himself, but he didn't care what others thought of him, he didn't need to bow down to everything for the handsome, as long as he commanded the overall situation, and Zhang Xiang also knew that the strength of these soldiers was enough to dig a trench before the Yellow Turban thieves arrived, and he didn't need to do it himself.
Before dusk, Zhang Xiang's rebel army dug a trench, the distance between the Yellow Turban Pioneer Army and this place was less than ten miles, Zhang Xiang admitted that he did underestimate the marching speed of the Yellow Turban Thieves, he didn't expect it to come so fast, and the Xiangfei Army was very tired at this time, it was really not the time to fight.
Zhang Xiang miscalculated but at this time he could not turn back, Zhang Xiang was ready to fight to the death, but when the Yellow Turban Thief arrived five miles away from the ambush, he set up camp, and Zhang Xiang himself had to praise his good luck.
Sure enough, luck is also part of the strength, Zhang Xiang ordered Zhang Feng Monza to lead 300 people each to wait on both sides of the road, and when the Yellow Turban thieves passed through the second trench, they entered the ambush sites on both sides, and the others waited for orders in front.
After explaining these things, Zhang Xiang ordered to rest, and the next day Zhang Xiang was waiting for the figure of the Yellow Turban Thief, but he had not seen the Yellow Turban Thief since the end of the day, and Zhang Xiang suspected that he had been exposed.
It wasn't until he saw the figure of the Yellow Turban thief that Zhang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Xiang saw the Yellow Turban Vanguard Army waving the Deng Zi Banner and knew that Deng Mao was coming, and Zhang Xiang did not cover up the three trenches.
The three trenches were so blatantly exposed in front of the Yellow Turban Thieves, Deng Mao was not blind, so he naturally saw it, and he was also worried about any ambush, so he also sent scouts to check on both sides.
In the end, the scouts reported that there was no ambush army in the mountains on both sides, and this Yellow Turban thief was also the elite of the Yellow Turban Army, and it could be said that they were like a broken foot along the way, and it was inevitable that they would be arrogant.
Although Deng Mao has a sense of foreboding in his heart, he can't stand still, otherwise his position will be unstable, the Yellow Turban Army has its own promotion system compared to the army of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that there are many people staring at Deng Mao's position?
As long as Deng Mao makes a mistake, many people are eager to pull him off the horse, of course, Deng Mao also has his own considerations, the mountain is flat and leaves the Daxing Mountains not far away, and at that time it can also be said that the sea is wide and the fish jumps, he is not afraid of anything behind, so Deng Mao put the vanguard army in front of the disobedient army.
Although these parts are a little unconvinced, they will not oppose Deng Mao at this time, otherwise Deng Mao's parts are not vegetarians, and they can only accept this drudgery, in fact, they are also a little used to it.
After all, Deng Mao didn't find them much trouble along the way, these troops took a simple ladder and erected it on top of the trench, and Zhang Xiang also saw that the Yellow Turban Thief used this method to pass through the trench.
These Yellow Turban Tribes knew at a glance that they were elites, and no one fell into the trench when walking on the ladder, and Zhang Xiang also saw that the bloody spirit on these tribes was very sufficient, and at a glance, he knew that they were from bandits and grass robbers, and Zhang Xiang didn't understand why Deng Mao would send these main fighters in the army to the front as cannon fodder.
In fact, Deng Mao was at odds with them because these people were bandits, Deng Mao was born in hardship and looked down on these people who plagued the township, but after all, these people were very powerful, so Deng Mao would accept them in embarrassment.
So of course they had to do something as dangerous as this, and when these Yellow Turban troops passed through the second trench, Zhang Feng Monza led people to quietly enter the ambush sites on both sides.
When these Yellow Turban tribes passed through the third trench, Zhang Xiang knew that the time for a decisive battle had come, and these Yellow Turban tribes traveled some distance, and Zhang Xiang ordered Pan Ying to make a move.
Pan Ying rushed to these Yellow Turban tribes with the chariots, the chariots were the main force in the armies of most countries in the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period, but with the emergence of cavalry, they were slowly replaced, in fact, Pan Ying's chariots were not driven by those traditional chariots in ancient times, but simple chariots transformed with grain and grass carts, and the guns and spears on the simple chariots became sharp weapons for killing.
The chariot suddenly plunged into the Yellow Turban Division, although these Yellow Turban Divisions composed of bandits and grass bandits were strong, but their fighting will was far inferior to those Yellow Turban believers, these people usually bullied some ordinary people with martial arts, but when it came to the real chapter, they were cowardly.
It can also be said that it collapsed at the touch of a button, and there was chaos in front, and many Yellow Turban thieves were squeezed into the trench when they retreated.
Pan Ying led the chariot soldiers can be said to have met the gods and killed the gods, until they reached the front of the trench Pan Ying knew that his task was over, and he could only shoot the enemy with bows and arrows, and then the soldiers surpassed the chariot soldiers and paved the trench with the wooden planks prepared in advance, and the soldiers took advantage of the situation to kill.
Don't look at these bandit yellow scarves are soft on others, but they are never soft on their own people, whoever stands in their way of life will immediately face each other, Deng Mao also led his henchmen to kill this chaotic army at this time.
Whether it is chaotic or not, as long as they stand in front of them, they will definitely die, Deng Mao also used this method to reverse the situation, and the chaos of the Yellow Turban Thieves gradually calmed down.
At this time, Zhang Xiang showed the handsome flag, Deng Mao also saw the word Xiang on the handsome flag, Deng Mao seemed to see the young man he was rescued, when the young man left, he knew that there would be a battle in the coming day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Deng Mao also wanted to have a good fight with this young man, although he lost a move, but the advantage of his side was still there, but just when Deng Mao was thinking, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the direction of the rear army.
Judging from the sound of horses' hooves and the dust rolled up, Deng Mao knew that there were no less than 1,000 cavalry, Deng Mao was a native of Hexi County, Youzhou, and he had seen the Hu people in rebellion since he was a child, and he would never forget the groups of Hu cavalry in his hometown, burning, killing and looting.
In fact, Zhang Xiang has more than a thousand cavalry! When Zhang Fei left, Zhang Xiang asked him to tie a branch to the tail of the horse when he raided the rear of the enemy, although Zhang Fei didn't know why he did this, but he still did it, so Deng Mao misunderstood that there would be more than a thousand cavalry.
Most of the leaders of this Yellow Turban Vanguard Army were Deng Mao's township party, and they also saw that the situation was not good, and the cavalry led by Zhang Fei was killed, and Zhang Fei shouted; "Yanren Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who dares to fight here."
In fact, Zhang Fei's word was obtained by Zhang Xiang, Zhang Fei was not used to it at first, but Zhang Xiang said that it was convenient to have a word when he went out, so Zhang Fei used this font number, and Zhang Fei screamed and screamed.
Zhang Fei's Zhangba spear is a big piece! Deng Mao is also a brave man and rushed towards Zhang Fei with a big knife, wanting to regain his momentum by slashing the future, Deng Mao had a good idea, but he picked the wrong opponent.
How could Deng Mao be Zhang Fei's opponent, the first collision, Deng Mao's tiger's mouth was shattered, and then Deng Mao only had the ability to defend, in fact, if it wasn't for Zhang Xiangqian's instructions to Zhang Fei to capture Deng Mao alive, then Deng Mao would have been a dead man at this time.
The main general is at a disadvantage, the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army is even weaker, Zhang Feng Monza and others have exhausted their arrows and joined the battlefield, Zhang Feng Monza's strength is not weak, these two fierce generals have joined enough for the Yellow Turban Thief to drink a pot.
Deng Mao supported him hard, but he didn't understand why Zhang Fei in front of him wasn't tired? At this moment, a meteor hammered into the hind legs of Deng Mao's warhorse, and Deng Mao fell to the ground without reacting for a while.
At this time, Zhang Xiang knew that there was still such a brave young general in his army, this person should be not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, or maybe he was in his twenties but he was just young, after all, few people would look old like Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was still playing Deng Mao, but he didn't think that he would be robbed of the credit by a young general, so he glared at the young general, and the young general was also a person who refused to admit defeat, and he also glared at Zhang Fei fiercely.
Zhang Xiang didn't notice this, he only knew that this was a good opportunity, so he shouted, "Once Deng Mao dies, the one who descends will not be killed." At this time, Deng Maoyi was tied up by the subordinates next to the young general.
When the young general heard Zhang Xiang shouting, he hurriedly sifted his sweat towel into Deng Mao's mouth, and Deng Mao immediately felt the sour and smelly taste in his mouth, which made him cry.
Subsequently, Zhang Xiang's Xiangfei army encountered only sporadic resistance, and most of the Yellow Turbans knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, which was also the first battle that Zhang Xiang won.
