Chapter 37 Zhang Chao is blocked
"Ben Shuai has already sent people to keep an eye on the four gates of Chen Liucheng, why didn't the scouts come back to report to Ben Shuai when the official army attacked?" Bian Xi's eyes flashed with a red fierce light, and he felt that he had been attacked at night despite taking precautions, and that all of this must have been caused by the laziness and dereliction of duty of those damn scouts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Yellow Turban Colonel felt Bian Xi's anger, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said cautiously: "Qu Shuai, that, the enemy attacked from the rear camp, it shouldn't be the officers and soldiers in Chen Liucheng." ”
Bian Xi was stunned, yes! His own military camp is located on this gallop road, and on both sides are mountain paths that are difficult for the army to pass, if Chen Liucheng's officers and troops launch a night attack, they can only attack from their own front camp. But if it wasn't the officials and soldiers in Chen Liucheng who were attacking him now, who were attacking his own camp?
"Do you know who is attacking the back camp? And how many sergeants are there? What is the situation in the rear camp at the moment? ”
The yellow turban colonel cried with a sad face: "Qu Shuai, the villain is responsible for guarding the Chinese army, and he also encountered a team of cavalry wearing official armor rushing to the camp before before he knew that it was the official army attacking, as for other news, the villain really doesn't know." ”
"Rubbish! Hurry up and transfer the concentrated army to support the rear battalion! ”
The guards on the side brought his war horse for Bian Xi, and Bian Xi turned over and took his own guards to the rear camp to support.
Although it has been determined that the night raider is the identity of the imperial court's official army, Bian Xi does not believe that there are many troops in the imperial court in the Chenliu territory, so he guesses that the attacker tonight should be reinforcements from other counties to Chenliucheng, but the number will definitely not be too much. Therefore, Bian Xi's response to the night attack was to lead the army to kill this small group of officers and soldiers as soon as possible.
If it is a battle-hardened army, when encountering ****, those commanders in the army will take the initiative to appease ordinary soldiers to avoid the spread and aggravation of panic, and then take advantage of the geographical advantage of the camp to defend against the enemy's attack, this night attack is likely to be fruitless.
However, the Yellow Turban Army has only been established for less than three months, and it does not have the foundation to be a strong army at all. After many days of marching, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers slept very hard, and they were suddenly awakened by the shouts of killing, and their brains were still in a state of confusion and confusion.
Bian Xi thought that with the numerical advantage of his tens of thousands of troops, it would be easy to kill this small group of night raiders. But when he took people to feel the back camp, he was surprised to find that the back camp had become a sea of fire, except for some Yellow Turban soldiers trapped in the sea of fire who were shouting for help, there was no night raider for a long time. At the same time, the left and right battalions of the camp were on fire again, and the attackers actually divided their troops!
"Qu Shuai! What to do? One of Bian Xi's guards leaned over and asked.
Bian Xi gritted his steel teeth: "Order Du Yuan from the front camp to bring troops to the Chinese army camp to support, and we will go back to the Chinese army camp first!" ”
"But there are still a lot of brothers alive in the back camp, should we save them first?" Another guard apparently heard cries for help coming from the fire.
Bian Xi whipped the guard's face full of blood: "The rear camp is over!" If you want to save people, go alone, don't delay Ben Shuai's time!! ”
The fire in the rear camp of the Yellow Turban Army was particularly conspicuous in this dark and rainy night, and Zhang Chao, who had been waiting for Chen Liucheng, also saw it, he knew that this was the signal of the pinch attack agreed between Wu Yi and himself, and from the fire, Wu Yi's night attack should have been successful, and according to the plan, he should have led his troops to support at this time.
"Order, gather the soldiers and horses in the city, leave two hundred people to guard the city gate, and the rest will follow me to kill the thief!" Zhang Chao is Zhang Miao's brother, Zhang Miao had a lot of relief to Zhang Chao, who was from a poor family, and even the position of captain was also operated by Zhang Miao. It can be said that after Zhang Miao was killed, Zhang Chao was the one who wanted to avenge him the most. Now that these tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers are in Chen Liucheng, whether it is as a clan brother who bears Zhang Miao's kindness or as a military general of the imperial court who is responsible for defending the territory, Zhang Chao must not sit back and watch this thief's opportunity to lose in front of him.
"Captain Zhang, please stay!" Just as Zhang Chao had just gathered more than 2,000 soldiers guarding the four gates and was about to set off, dozens of family heads in Chen Liucheng who were alarmed rushed to block Zhang Chao's way.
"What are you looking for me Zhang Chao?"
Zhang Chao frowned, these family heads in front of him are all from Chen Liu's second- and third-rate wealthy families, when the Yellow Turban soldiers came to the city before, Zhang Chao had sent people to ask them for private soldiers to defend the city, but these selfish guys left the private soldiers at home and prepared gold and silver soft, once Zhang Chao failed to defend the city, they would use their own private soldiers to protect them and escape from Chen Liu.
Seriously, if he could, Zhang Chao would have wanted to kill all these bastards one by one, but these bastards not only have a relationship with Chen Liu, but some are also inextricably linked with the officials in the imperial court.
"I don't know where Captain Zhang doesn't guard the city in the middle of the night, but he wants to lead the troops?" The first to ask questions was the head of the Wang family in the west of the city.
Zhang Chao snorted coldly: "It's okay to tell you now, as early as a few days ago, I discussed with Wu Yi, the young master of the Wu family, the strategy of breaking the enemy, he took the more than 2,000 righteous troops he summoned to ambush outside the city, once the thieves came to the city, they attacked the enemy camp in the night of the same day, as long as the surprise attack was successful, I told me with fire as a sign, and I led the troops to kill the front and back of the thief army from the city." Now the enemy camp is on fire and shouting to kill the sky, when Wu Yi has successfully attacked the camp of the Yellow Turban thieves at night, if you have nothing to do, you will forgive Zhang Chao for being lazy, but Zhang Chao is going to go out of the city to kill the enemy. ”
"No! Captain Zhang must not!! It was the head of the Wei family in the south of the city who spoke, and this little old man saw that Zhang Chao didn't seem to want to pay attention to himself, so he hurriedly led everyone to stop at the gate of the city.
"How dare you stop the march of the army when the military situation is urgent? Aren't you going to rebel? Zhang Chao's spear pointed directly at the head of the Wei family, and the angry shout revealed that Zhang Chao's anger at the moment was almost unbearable.
The head of the Wei family watched a drop of cold sweat slip from the tip of the spear that flashed cold, but instead of getting out of the way, he asked loudly: "According to the old man, I'm afraid that the only one who wants to defect to the enemy and rebel is Captain Zhang himself, right?" Seeing that tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were approaching the city, Captain Zhang didn't think about guarding the city well, but he wanted to open the city gate in the middle of the night in vain to lead the army out of the city, but he wanted us to believe that you were going to take these two thousand people to attack the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army? Are you really fooling us people? ”
