A day of bloody fighting seemed to stain the sky red, and as the remnant sun slowly set in the west, the bloody battle outside the city of Changshe was officially over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this battle, the Yellow Turban Army had more than 132,000 troops, and Huangfu Song's counterinsurgency army dispatched more than 38,000 people. There was a huge gap in numbers, but Wu Yi took advantage of a sudden strong wind at night to set fire to the company camp, not only burning to death sixty or seventy thousand enemy soldiers in one fell swoop, but also causing the remaining Yellow Turban sergeants to lose their morale and force them to meet in a hurry.

Night battles were originally battles that various generals were reluctant to engage in in this era. Although the widespread night blindness among the soldiers under his command is one of the reasons, the most taboo reason for the generals is that the lighting conditions during night battles are poor, and it is difficult for their own troops to effectively command through flags and other markers. Sometimes because of the fall of a corner, the chain involves the passivity of a large battlefield, and eventually leads to the annihilation of the whole army.

In the night battle, it was difficult for the soldiers on both sides to line up in a neat formation, and they could not even effectively prevent the rain of stray arrows and arrows shot by the other side. Only when the two sides really collide with each other can they clearly distinguish between friend and foe and carry out the most tragic life-and-death struggle.

Wu Yi didn't understand why night battles were rarely used for generals throughout the ages, but later followed Chen Yu to study ancient and modern classics, and only then did he understand the disadvantages of night battles in ancient times. But after all, Wu Yi had some more insights than the ancients, so in the night battle launched by Wu Yi, he first attacked the enemy camp with fire every time, so that the light of the flames illuminated the enemy camp. In addition to the fire attack will burn the enemy soldiers on a large scale and suppress the morale of the enemy soldiers, the real effect of Wu Yi's move is to use the fire to illuminate the environment around the enemy camp and expose the surviving soldiers of the enemy army to the light of the fire.

In this way, the night became a cover for Wu Yijun, but the reality and movements of the enemy's soldiers were completely grasped by Wu Yijun. Under the enemy's light and darkness, the defender not only became a living target under the firelight, but also could not figure out the comparison of the combat strength of the enemy and us, only felt that there was always a steady stream of soldiers rushing to kill in the night ahead, and that fear of the unknown would bring huge psychological pressure to the defender.

Because of this, after the attack on the camp, the Yellow Turban soldiers commanded by Huang Shao and He Yi, although they were more than twice as many as Huang Fu Song's counterinsurgency army, but they were always on the passive defensive side from beginning to end, until the two sides fought fiercely until dawn, after Huang Fu Song's counterinsurgency army had occupied an absolute advantage, Huang Shao and He Yi wanted to lead the troops to counterattack at this time, but they were already more than willing and insufficient.

In order to win the battle in one fell swoop, Huangfu Song handed over the remaining more than 900 cavalry troops to Wu Yi to use, and Wu Yi turned to transfer the heavy responsibility of charging into battle to Dian Wei, the most powerful general under his command.

Wearing double armor, Dian Wei carried a pair of iron halberds, straddled a white-hoofed yellow horse, and led more than 900 cavalry to kill the Yellow Turban Army He Yi's general flag with arrows. Compared with the Yellow Turban sergeant who has been weak after a night of fighting, Dian Wei, whose physical fitness can be called the top in the world, has more than a thousand strengths.

Under Dian Wei's brutal charge, the Yellow Turban Army held on to the military formation all night, but it collapsed like muck encountering a hammer. Dian Wei stared at He Yi with a pair of tiger eyes, no matter how he moved in the military formation, he still couldn't escape Dian Wei's pursuit. When Dian Wei led the remaining more than 300 cavalry to kill through the countless defense lines of the Yellow Turban Army and came to He Yi's body, He Yi was so aggrieved that he almost shed tears. He really didn't understand that his status in the army was even inferior to Huang Shao, why did Dian Wei, the god of killing, stare at him to death?

Dian Wei didn't give He Yi a chance to complain at all, and the double halberd slashed at He Yi with a fishy smell. In the past, He Yi used an iron rod in his hand to beat all the invincible opponents in the army, but when he encountered Dian Wei's pair of iron halberds, He Yi knew what kind of heroes in the world were, and the little ability he was proud of in the past was really enough to hate his mediocrity when he used it. The two fought less than ten times, and Dian Wei's left and right attacks were effective. He Yi's iron rod blocked Dian Wei's right halberd but did not prevent Dian Wei's left halberd, and was mercilessly beheaded by Dian Wei, becoming another bitter soul under this pair of iron halberds.

He Yi's death brought a great blow to the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, especially when Dian Wei tried to move in the direction of Huang Shao's general flag, Huang Shao actually abandoned the general flag and fled the battlefield with more than 100 personal guard sergeants. The two Yellow Turban commanders died and fled, causing the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers to completely collapse. Except for the more than 10,000 unlucky ghosts who were in a bitter battle and could not escape and could only surrender, the rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers scattered and fled, and the hundreds of thousands of Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army that had been besieged and defended by Huangfu Song, who had been besieged by Changshe, officially declared the demise of the whole army.

After the war, Huangfu Song sent people to clean up the battlefield, and collected tens of thousands of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and countless arrows and armor that could still be used. There were also more than 1,000 cavalry under Cao Cao's subordinates who rushed from Luoyang to help, and intercepted the grain and grass of more than 1,000 carts that Bocai was about to escort away.

Hearing that the cavalry was subordinate to Cao Cao, the cavalry commander, Wu Yi also went to inspect it to see what Cao Cao, who has been famous for thousands of years, looked like. It's just that these cavalry said that their main general Cao Cao led his troops to chase and kill Bo Cai, and he didn't know when he would be able to return, so Wu Yi returned to Changshe City with regret to participate in the celebration banquet set by Huangfu Song.

"Come on, come on, congratulations on the victory in this battle, please drink this lamp!" Huangfu Song took the lead in raising the flag wine cup with a red face, and drank the whole wine with great pride.

"Congratulations on victory!" Wu Yi got up with everyone to pay tribute to Huangfu Song.

After taking their seats, everyone happily talked about today's victory, as long as the generals and colonels who participated in the war were full of alcohol, boasting about their achievements to the civilian officials who were responsible for defending the city next to them.

Xu Shu and Dian Wei, who were behind Wu Yi, were toasted a lot by the generals and colonels because of the bravery they showed when they charged into battle in this battle. And Wu Yi, as the one who planned this surprise attack, was even more praised by the soldiers, if it weren't for Wu Yi's heart knowing how many pounds and taels he had, I am afraid that he would really think that he was a natural talent with wisdom and bravery.

Cheng Yu, who was sitting alone and drinking wine not far away, saw Wu Yi and the three of them being surrounded by everyone and boasting, and he was really depressed in his heart. Wu Yi, as a close disciple of his mentor, knows astronomy and geography, and Cheng Yu will only be a little envious at most when he enjoys this kind of glory, but Xu Shu was just a wanted ranger before, and in less than a year, he has also become a general of the Han army who can command thousands of troops and horses to charge into battle. This huge contrast makes Cheng Yu, who has been a teacher for decades but only a pen clerk in the Changshe Society, how not to be jealous and how not to be melancholy?

Just as Cheng Yu was thinking about whether he should put down his skin and learn from Xu Shu to serve under Wu Yi to seek a future, a personal guard sergeant of Huangfu Song suddenly walked in outside the door: "Report to the general, Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, has captured the thief army, and now he has gone outside the mansion to wait for the general to summon him!" ”
