Six white finch
The white finch looked at the back of Bocai and them, and only after they were covered by the trees did he turn back, and said to the two female soldiers beside him:
"Tonight we are going to fight a bloody breakout. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf we fail to break through, we can only die in a bloody battle, and we will not fall into the hands of others and suffer insults. Are you ready? ”
The two female soldiers replied in unison, "Ready." ”
Zhou Cang hurriedly came to Bai Que and told her that the first team was ready, and the men and horses were already lined up at the foot of the mountain. The white finch wiped away his tears with his sleeve and asked calmly:
"Have you ever been handsome?"
"It's over. He said the first team was ready to go. ”
"Then get on your horse and set off," Bai Cui ordered, and immediately led his soldiers to the place where a group of war horses were tied to the edge of the woods.
The group of men and horses led by Bai Cui left the foot of the mountain and walked more than three miles to the southeast, and with a shout, they rushed into Li Zhen's camp.
Li Yu's camp had been set up and the arrangements had been made, so although the Yellow Turban Army was fierce, it did not disrupt the camp of the officers and troops, and they encountered interception and killing everywhere, and the men and horses suffered great damage.
Zhou Cang and Yu Yigen were both injured in the melee. At this time, Li Yu already knew that Bai Que was in this breakthrough army, thinking that the wavelength must be with her. On the one hand, he reported the situation to Li Ru, and on the other hand, he ordered all the soldiers to capture the white bird alive and sacrifice the prisoners.
With a large number of officers and soldiers, they were all over the mountains, torches everywhere, and they shouted everywhere: "Only by catching the waves alive can the white sparrow be captured alive." ”
The Yellow Turbans fought and walked, and continued to suffer casualties along the road. Just left Li Rong's men behind, and Xu Rong's men and horses blocked the way in front of him.
The Yellow Turban Army, regardless of men, women, and children, shouted and rushed into the Xu camp.
Although there was a strict military order from Prime Minister Dong Zhuo and an edict from the emperor, Li Yu wanted to make meritorious contributions, but his soldiers were helpless because they had been in arrears for too long, and most of them were unwilling to fight desperately because of the influence of the strategy that Bocai sent Zhang Baiqi yesterday. In particular, those lower-level military attaches and soldiers were full of complaints and morale were very low, and now the officers and soldiers were in difficulty with food, and Li Su had been under the orders of the general for two days to lead his 12,300 cavalry to collect everywhere, loot along the way, and provide the army with daily food, so he did not participate in the battle. Today, because he saw that his soldiers were unwilling to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, and he was deeply afraid that Li Ru would punish him, he quickly transferred Song Yao back after dusk, hoping to rely on Song Xian's death force so that he could establish miraculous achievements in today's battle.
Song Xian was originally one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals, and he didn't know where Bo Cai was, but he saw that the group of men in front of him was the rear camp led by Bai Que. So he lined up the men and horses, reined in front of the formation, blocked the way of the rebels, and loudly persuaded him to surrender. At this moment, the men and horses led by Li Yu also caught up separately.
Bai Que saw that the situation was very critical, but he was unwilling to fight hard with Song Xian. She immediately called Zhou Lun and a group of partial generals in front of her, and asked Li Damu first:
"Brother Big Eyes, you didn't hang the lottery, right?"
"I didn't."
"Okay, you go and block Li Xian for a while, let me use a stratagem to deal with Song Xian, and ask him to make way."
After Li Damu left, Bai Que ordered the elderly soldiers of the rear battalion to retreat to a nearby mound, hide, and wait for her. She picked a few generals such as Zhou Cang who did not hang the lottery and about a hundred brothers to stay with her.
She said to a male soldier beside her, "You are good at archery, hide behind people and prepare your bow and arrows." When I talk to Song Xian, you secretly aim at him, if he listens to my words and gives way, if he refuses to give way, see me wave your hand, you will shoot a cold arrow at him. She turned to one of the female soldiers: "You are also secretly aiming at his horse." He shoots people and you shoot horses, and as long as an arrow hits, it kills the arrogance of the officers and soldiers. ”
"Yes," the two replied in unison.
She turned her eyes to Song Xian, although the shouts of the pursuers and the sound of "capture the white sparrow alive" were very close, but she called very calmly: "Zhou Cang"
"Yes," Zhou Cang replied.
"You are ready, when you see the arrow shot, you rush forward and behead Song Xian while he is panicking."
"Yes"
After Bai Que finished giving the order, he rode forward, less than twenty steps away from Song Xian, and even the other party's nose and eyes could be seen clearly in the moonlight. Although Zhou Lun and the soldiers around her were very worried that the enemy would shoot arrows at her, she knew very well that the enemy would persuade her to surrender or capture her alive as a prisoner, and would never release arrows at her. The closer she walked to Song Xian in this way, the more sure the arrows of the two archers would be shot, and it would also be convenient for Zhou Cang to rush forward by surprise. Song Xian is a brave and unscrupulous, bold and careless person. He saw that there were few soldiers left around the White Sparrow, and the White Sparrow rode up to him, and mistakenly thought that she must know that there was no way to escape, and was willing to surrender. He cried out to the white sparrow:
"Zhang Jiao is dead, the Yellow Turban Army is finished, surrender quickly."
Bai Ying pressed his stomach and asked angrily: "I didn't expect to meet you here, isn't there a heavy reward in the court, come and catch me, what are you hesitating about." Before she could say anything, two arrows had been shot from her back. The female soldier's arrow shot a little earlier and hit the upper part of Song Xian's mount's right eye, piercing the skull. The male soldier was about to shoot him in the throat, intending to kill him with an arrow, but his horse was hit by an arrow and jumped up, and the arrow hit his heart shield by mistake and fell to the ground with a bang. Song Xian's horse fell down with a thud, throwing him to the ground.
The Yellow Turban Army had already gritted their teeth and took advantage of this opportunity to kill Zhou Cang.
Soon after the first team set off, the second team led by Bocai himself set off and quietly rushed southwest. When approaching the camp of the official army, there was a shout and rushed in.
The officers and troops were already prepared, and Xu Zhu personally led the officers and troops to block the way of the Yellow Turban Army, first of all, the bows and crossbows were fired together, which caused the Yellow Turban Army to suffer great losses.
Fortunately, the Yellow Turbans were all light horses, and their movements were like lightning speed, rolling into the center of the enemy in the blink of an eye, engaging in melee combat, and making the enemy's bows and crossbows useless.
Although the officers and soldiers had generals who personally jumped on their horses to supervise the battle, they had no way to stop the Yellow Turban Army, so they had to make way for the Yellow Turban Army one after another.
The Yellow Turban Army walked eleven or twelve miles, and had already broken out of the encirclement, and encountered a small river, and the men and horses stopped to drink water.
Bo Cai checked the number of people, and there were only more than 1,300 people left, and Zhang Bai's men and horses did not follow, and they were cut off by the enemy at some time and where.
From the south, there were bursts of shouts of killing, about four or five miles away.
The bitter cockroach was a little anxious, and said to Bocai:
"Dashuai, Brother Zhang is lost, he must have walked to Li Yu's position by mistake, what should I do? I'm going to save him. ”
"Forget it, let them go. First, we have no troops to divide, and second, you can't find them. ”
The pursuers were already very close.
The Yellow Turbans quickly mounted their horses and waited silently for Bo Cai's order.
Up to this time, this sparsely staffed and mostly painted team still maintained good discipline and order, and did not flee in panic because the officers and soldiers chased them.
Bocai rode on the dragon horse, stretched out his bow and watched, and when he saw the shadow of the cavalry of the official army, he ordered: "Go"
At the same time, he fired two arrows in succession, knocking down the two cavalrymen who were walking in front, causing the officers and soldiers to be so frightened that they stopped one after another.
The Yellow Turbans slowly ran along a small river to the southeast.
Bocai personally took Luo City Huanglong and his own soldiers to break off.
It was Xu Rong's cavalry who came to chase after them, they didn't dare to chase fiercely, but they didn't want the Yellow Turban Army to escape in vain, so they were always half a mile apart, hoping that they would move forward when the morning dawn or when there were soldiers to stop them.
Bo Cai saw through the intentions of the officers and soldiers, and ordered the bitter cockroach to stay with a group of young generals and more than 300 cavalry, and lay in ambush in the woods on both sides.
Li Su led more than a dozen generals and more than 1,000 cavalry to chase forward, hoping to capture Bocai alive and establish a great achievement.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him, and two teams of men and horses came out of the woods on both sides at the same time.
He was panicking, Bocai Zhang Mancheng and others turned back, he was still trying to resist, but his soldiers didn't know how many people the Yellow Turban Army had, so they fled in a hurry, and wrapped him in the middle, hugging him and couldn't help but escape.
He personally hacked a few soldiers to death, trying to stop this chaos, but to no avail, so he had to take a part of the generals and his own soldiers to rush in the middle of his cavalry, seize the road and flee, the Yellow Turban Army slaughtered the chaotic officers and soldiers for a while, did not pursue, continued to hurry.
When Li Su's men and horses were retreating in a panic in the canyon, Xu Rong chased after the Liangzhou standard camp, and he received a report at first, thinking that Bocai led the old and weak women and a part of the elite soldiers to break through to the southeast, but when he was chasing the southeast in person, he received a report that it was a group of "thieves" to the southwest who were all elite soldiers, and the well found that Zhang Bai was riding inside, and maybe Bocai himself was also inside. He hurriedly returned to the army and chased to the southwest, and his Liangzhou standard camp men and horses saw Li Su's men and horses fleeing like this, thinking that the Yellow Turban Army was chasing and killing, and immediately panicked and retreated.
It took him a few shouts before he stopped.
Xu Rong sent someone to call Li Su to ask about the situation, but he couldn't tell whether Bo Cai was on the side of this group of people who broke through.
He was about to give the order to chase after him, when two reports came from the battlefield: one said that someone had seen Bocai wounded and fallen from his horse, hiding in the forest, and now he was sending people to search carefully; Another said that a dead "thief" was found in the corpse, resembling Bocai, with a white horse lying beside him.
Xu Rong asked sharply to the small colonel:
"Is this dead thief wearing a cowhide quiver?"
"Lord Hui, it's a golden cowhide quiver."
"It's a twenty-eight dragon spear in your hand!"
"His right hand was also badly wounded, and the dragon lance was lost."
"Who Sent You to Tell You?"
"Lord Li."
"Bastard goes back and investigates"
After the little colonel left, Xu Rong thought for a moment on the horse, and ordered to stop the chase and quickly withdraw the men and horses. In his opinion, Li Su's men and horses have become frightened birds after this defeat, and it is difficult to hope to desperately chase the enemy. Other pursuers were affected by this battle, and they were also a little timid about the Yellow Turban Army, the mountain road ahead was rugged, in case of repeated ambushes, the loss of troops and generals, but they would be punished by Li Ru, on the other hand, he thought that the "Yellow Turban" was divided into two strands to break through, and Bocai may not be in this unit; If you are in this unit, all the mountain roads in front are already bravely guarded, and it will be difficult to escape.
In addition, the two reports just now also increased his fantasies. He thought that the "thieves" would suffer heavy casualties tonight, and probably Bocai would be injured if he was not dead. Thinking of this, he said to Hu Zhen who was following him:
"Quickly order the three armies, Bo Cai and other culprits will not die or be injured, and they must carefully search the dead bodies and the grass in the forest one by one, and there must be no mistakes!"
Li Yu returned to the battlefield to inspect and saw corpses and seriously wounded people everywhere, because the moon was dim, and he couldn't tell whether it was the Yellow Turban Army or the officers and soldiers.
He came to the small cottage where the Yellow Turban Army was once stationed, and the hundreds of seriously wounded people left behind by the Yellow Turban Army had no heads, and this inhumane phenomenon did not move his heart.
He understood that this was a false battle feat by the officers and soldiers to cut off these seriously wounded heads, but it did not hurt him. He will also make the false the real and gain more military merits.
