Chapter 38: The Battle of the Yellow Turbans (2)

In the camp of the Nanyang Army, Ji Ling was drinking in the tent, and two women rubbed his shoulders and beat his back later, but the two women had tears on their faces and wept lowly, obviously forced. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ji Ling was in a good mood, last night's expedition made him feel refreshed and in good spirits, but the appearance of these women was average, but it was a little regrettable, but it didn't matter, they would soon catch more people, and there would definitely be young and beautiful women for him to choose from.

"General, the brother in charge of finding out the news is back!"

The voice of a soldier came from outside the tent, Ji Ling waved his hand, and the two maids slowly retreated.

"Let him in!"

Ji Ling raised his head and poured another glass of wine, and couldn't help but burp.

"The humble post is the general, and the humble post is ordered by the general to explore the lair of the Yellow Turban thieves, and found that they are in a mountain eighty miles south of our army, and the humble post has left a few brothers who are seeing, general, should we immediately send troops to encircle and suppress?"

Ji Ling nodded: "Pass on my order, the army will be drawn immediately, the target is Wufang County, you must arrive before dark, those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!" ”

As soon as Ji Ling's military order was given, the entire Nanyang Army began to move rapidly, the army began to dismantle the battalion commander and sort out the materials, the vanguard troops had been drawn in advance, the Chinese army and the rear army also set off immediately, and the army of 5,000 people advanced to the south.

At the same time, in the Dazhai of the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Zhi and others also received the news that the Nanyang Army had sent troops, and they needed time to complete the combat preparations, so Liu Zhi did not plan to fight hard with the Nanyang Army in the front.

"Gong Du, I'll give you five hundred people, you go here, rely on the favorable terrain to block the enemy, remember, there are cavalry troops in the Nanyang army, you don't fight with them head-on, bring more war drums, just attack and scare them, be sure to hold them for three hours!"

"Gong Du takes orders!"

Liu Zhi glanced at Xu Chu and saw that he was eager to try, but he ignored it, and shouted, "Where is Dian Wei!" ”

Dian Wei knelt down on one knee: "The last general!" ”

Liu Zhi: "I will give you 2,000 soldiers and horses, you are stationed on the south bank of Laishui, digging and building embankments along the pontoon bridge, after the enemy army comes, you must hold the pontoon bridge above Laishui, if the enemy crosses the river, you can burn the pontoon bridge, delay the enemy, as soon as the time passes, your army immediately lights three piles of beacon fires, and the whole army retreats, remember, the retreat must be fast!" Do you understand? ”

"Dian Wei De Ling!"

Liu Zhi finally looked at Xu Chu and saw that he was anxious, everyone had a task at this time, but his most elite cavalry had not yet assigned a task, which made him very anxious.

"Xu Chu stepped forward to receive the order!"

Finally, Liu Zhi still ordered Xu Chu's general.

"Xu Chu is here!"

"Your cavalry training time is not long, so it is not suitable for frontal charge, I have other arrangements!"

When Xu Chu heard this, he immediately became anxious, and he just wanted to argue, saying that his cavalry had been trained, so he listened to Liu Zhi's next words.

"You take your people, immediately rush to the confluence of the water and the water, where I have prepared two thousand sandbags in advance, after you arrive, immediately block the river, wait until the army of Dian Wei lights the beacon fire, immediately break the embankment and release the water, and then rush downstream to kill, the first credit for breaking the enemy is yours!"

Xu Chu was overjoyed and said loudly: "Xu Chu has an order, and he will not be dishonored!" ”

After Liu Zhi made the arrangements, he said to Guo Jia and Cheng Yu on the side: "Two gentlemen, let's wait here for good news!" ”

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, they were very surprised by Liu Zhi's performance, and thought that if they arranged it by themselves, they were afraid that they would not do better than him.

After talking about the Yellow Turban Army, let's take a look at the Nanyang Army, they went south all the way from Canyang, there are many mountain roads in this area, and the speed of the army can't be fast, but the distance between the two places is not very far, so according to their current speed, they can still easily reach Wufang before dark.

However, while the soldiers of the Nanyang Army were still thinking about what to eat after camping at night, a Yellow Turban army suddenly burst out of the woods by the roadside, shot arrows at them, and slipped into the woods again.

The Nanyang army was taken aback, the former army general hurriedly ordered the soldiers to form a defensive formation first to prevent the enemy from attacking, most of the bows and arrows of the Yellow Turban Army were shoddy, and the power was limited, the rain of arrows just now looked very scary, but in fact, the losses caused to them were not large, only more than ten soldiers were injured, but in order to prevent the impact of the enemy's follow-up large forces, they had to be careful. However, they set up a formation here for a long time, but the other party's follow-up attack did not appear, so the Nanyang Army sent a force into the woods to search for the Yellow Turban Army that attacked them.

It's just that the Yellow Turban Army has already fled, except for the delay of a lot of time, they didn't have any gains at all, considering the strict orders issued by Lord Ji Ling, they continued to hurry, and they didn't care about tracking down these attackers.

The Nanyang army wanted to run, but of course the Yellow Turban Army would not agree, so when the Nanyang army passed through the forest, it would be attacked by hidden arrows, and when it passed through the valley, it would be blocked by boulders, and a deep pit would suddenly appear on the flat road, and the bridge would suddenly end up when crossing the river······

The marching speed of the army is too slow, it took them four hours to travel more than fifty miles slowly, Ji Ling lost his temper for this, now it has reached the time of Shen, and there is still an hour before the sky is about to dark, at this time there is still a distance of nearly twenty miles from the destination, if you continue to hurry, I am afraid that it will be easy to be attacked by the other party, but at least you have to get through the Rushui in front of you, otherwise it will be dawn tomorrow, and there will be a lot of time spent crossing the river.

Ji Ling ordered the flag to wave, the Nanyang army began to cross the river, the average depth of Rushui is about one zhang, such a depth is impossible for soldiers who do not know how to swim over, so there is a pontoon bridge on the river, but now it is not just the dry period or what the reason, the depth of Rushui is very shallow, so shallow that the bottom of the river is visible to the naked eye, so the soldiers can also wade through the riverbed.

However, as soon as the Nanyang army crossed the river, an army immediately rushed out from the opposite side, the number of which seemed to be more than 2,000 people, led by a fierce general who was more than eight feet long and held two iron halberds in his hands, this person was Dian Wei.

"Ji Lingxiao'er, your grandfather is here, do you dare to fight?"

Dian Wei carried a halberd on his shoulder, stretched out the halberd in his right hand, pointed at Ji Ling from afar, and shouted loudly.
