Zhou Cang hit the wall twice in a row, and was slightly injured, but he didn't dare to go on any further, and with a wave of his hand, the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command rushed forward and fought with Liu Yuan and his party.

Zhou Cang was very surprised at this time, he thought that he was one of the best in the Yellow Turban Army, but he didn't expect to meet two people with higher martial arts than him today, one of them was a female general.

He put away his previous idea of looking down on the officers and soldiers, fought steadily, and took advantage of the advantage of troops to slowly wear down the strength of the officers and troops.

There are more and more Yellow Turban soldiers around, and a lot of elite soldiers in Hujiazhuang have died, these are Hu Sanniang's clansmen.

Hu Sanniang was enraged, and rushed left and right around Liu Yuan and the soldiers of Hujiazhuang to protect Liu Yuan and the living clansmen, and avenge the sacrifices of Hujiazhuang. Her strength was also reduced from 90 to 85.

When Hu Sanniang was angry, although Liu Yuan was worried, he didn't do anything. After a while, Hu Sanniang's anger calmed down a lot.

Liu Yuan found an opportunity, drove the horse to Hu Sanniang's side alone, and comforted him softly. Hu Sanniang saw that Liu Yuan came to find her regardless of his own danger, and he was both moved and blamed himself. No longer rushes to kill, and continues to guard Liu Yuan.

After a while, Liu Yuan saw that the situation was getting more and more serious, so he said to Hu Sanniang: "The fight is almost over, the casualties are relatively large, we did our best." Now let's take it slowly and find a chance to rush out. You take it a little longer and get your form to the top. I'm going to send someone to tell you the news. ”

Hu Sanniang nodded.

After hearing the order, all the remaining generals slowly retracted, waiting for the order to retreat.

Suddenly, a deafening shout of killing was heard from the east, and the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and retreated. After a while, a tiger general came over with a gun, as if he had entered a no-man's land. Not far behind him, followed by Huangfu Song's large army.

"My master is finally here! General Huangfu's army has also arrived! Shi Jin was very excited.

Today's battle is not enjoyable, except for the heads-up with Zhou Cang, the others are slaughtered. There is no technical content, but it challenges the limits of his physical strength. Rao is his superb martial arts, strong and strong, but he can't bear it.

Seeing that the main force had finally arrived, Liu Yuan also took a deep breath and immediately ordered: "The previous plan has been canceled, and we are now moving closer to General Huangfu's army, not seeking speed, but stabilizing it first." ”

In the previous battle, the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more comrades were killed, and the heart of the vanguard was very depressed.

The appearance of reinforcements seemed to inject a heart booster into everyone, so that all the pressure in the hearts of the vanguard was completely released, and the fatigue was also relieved. Faced with the enemy who killed his comrades, their combat power exploded all at once!

Under the leadership of Shi Jin and other generals, the vanguard fought a bloody way, and the distance between them and the main force was narrowed step by step.

On the other hand, Zhu Jun's army was also encouraged, and Bocai was defeated and retreated.

The battle continued, and Liu Yuan did not have the task of killing the enemy, still paying attention to the battle situation.

Wang Jin is worthy of being a first-class military general, with a spear in his hand, he is unusually powerful, easy and freehand, but he kills everywhere, and no one is his enemy. The encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army soon tore a gap.

Huangfu Song's army was thrown into battle one after another. Since it is a new force, it gains a huge advantage as soon as it enters the war. The Yellow Turbans' formation began to be chaotic.

Wang Jin's bravery inspired the other generals of the main force. Jiang Zhong, who had just been promoted to minister, was very prominent, he was holding a spear, and led his thousand-man troops to attack left and right, and one by one the Yellow Turban Army fell to the ground.

After a short time, Jiang Zhong's troops hit in front of Liu Yuan's troops, and the two troops fought side by side. The pressure on Liu Yuan and his entourage has been reduced a lot.

As time passed, more Han troops slaughtered around the vanguard, and the pressure on the ranks became less and less.

The war continued, and the advantage of the Huangfu army grew, and gradually evolved into victory.

A quarter of an hour later, the Yellow Turban Army withdrew and retreated 50 miles to the village, leaving behind more than 40,000 corpses.

At the end of the battle, Shi Jin and Hu Sanniang walked up to Jiang Zhong and thanked him for his timely assistance. Liu Yuan followed.

Jiang Zhong said: "You're welcome, let's participate in the martial arts competition together, and get the position of minister together, the martial arts of the two are much higher than mine, I admire them very much." ”

The two of them said, "Don't dare to be." ”

Liu Yuan also had a deep impression of Jiang Zhong, and during the martial arts competition, Liu Yuan focused on this young man with 76 armed forces. His martial arts are more prominent in the Huangfu Army.

Although Liu Yuan admired Jiang Zhong very much, he knew that Jiang Zhong's loyalty to the Han Dynasty was 95, although it was not completely impossible to accept it, but it was by no means easy, at least not now. Liu Yuan joined the chat of the three and took the initiative to cultivate a relationship with him.

The four of them talked a lot, and the relationship became a lot closer. Liu Yuan knew that Jiang Zhong's home was in Nanyang, he had been married for two years, and his son was just half a year old, and this time he had to leave home to join the war, and he promised his daughter-in-law that he would return to his hometown as soon as possible.

Speaking of his son, Jiang Zhong's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, praising his son for being healthy, smart, and handsome. The more the two sides talked, the more speculative they became, until Huangfu Song assembled the team, and the two sides reluctantly resigned.

After Huangfu Song cleaned up the battlefield, he and Zhu Jun took all the soldiers under his command to retreat ten miles to the village.

In this battle, Huangfu Song lost less than 5,000 people in total, of which the vanguard troops lost nearly 3,000 people. Zhu Jun's troops lost more than 8,000 men after many battles. The casualty ratio between the imperial court and the Yellow Turbans was close to 1:4, which can be regarded as a big victory.

But now the combined soldiers of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are less than 35,000 people, compared with the remaining 60,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, they still do not have an advantage.

In the evening, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun held a celebration banquet to reward the three armies to boost morale and face the subsequent battle.

Zhu Jun said: "This time I was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army, thanks to the rescue of General Huangfu. The generals are capable of producing many people, and the soldiers use their lives, and I can't do it. ”

"General Zhu is polite, we are generals in the same dynasty, and we are all contributing to the country, you have few soldiers and are surrounded, how can I care? Today, although the Bocai army has been heavily damaged, it is still not to be underestimated. You and I need to work together to complete our mission and live up to God's grace. Huangfu Song said.

Zhu Jun first recognized Huangfu Song, and then said: "I heard that the vanguard army under General Huangfu arrived at the battlefield first, and with a mere 5,000 troops, they resisted for half an hour, and made great contributions. I admire it very much, and I want to meet the general who led the troops. ”

"Yes, I am really pleased with the performance of the Vanguards. Shi Jin, when I learned that you were going to help General Zhu Jun fight the Yellow Turban with 5,000 men, I was very worried. I didn't expect you guys to play so well. Tell us how you managed to survive with 5,000 men. Huangfu Song looked at Shi Jin and said.

Shi Jin left the table, saluted Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and said: "Don't hide it, I'm not good at strategy, the commander of the operation this time is Minister Liu Yuan, and the military advisor is Zhu Wu." This time to achieve such a result, it is all due to them. ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other, and they were a little surprised. I didn't expect this Shi Jin to be so sincere, and the credit in hand was actually pushed out!

How do they know that Shi Jin is a bright and upright man, how could he do something that pretends to lead the army?

"Oh? Anyway, Shi Jin, as the main general, has made a lot of contributions. Where are Liu Yuan and Zhu Wu? Tell us about your battles. Huangfu Song said.

Liu Yuan left the table with Zhu Wu and told the story of the battle. Finally, he said: "The victory in this battle is the result of Minister Shi Jin's leadership and the soldiers' lives. ”

After listening to this, Huangfu Song praised: "The generals and schools of the vanguard can win without merit, this quality is commendable. But if you don't take credit, I can't reward you for your deeds. In this battle, Shi Jin commanded well and remembered the first credit; Liu Yuan and Zhu Wu planned properly, and the officers and men of the whole army were brave and fearless, and all of them were meritorious. I will play truthfully, and the court will definitely be rewarded. ”

After discussing the merits, Shi Jin, Liu Yuan, and Zhu Wu returned to their seats.

Huangfu Song said again; "Although the Bocai Department has been hit hard, its strength is still not to be underestimated. After this lesson, they will be more cautious. And our soldiers, combined, are less than 35,000 people. The situation is still uncertain, what do you think? ”

Everyone spoke one after another, some proposed to retreat to the long society, and some proposed to apply for reinforcements, but they couldn't make a decision for a while.

Seeing that everyone was not in agreement, Liu Yuanjin said: "The Bocai army was defeated, and the morale is low, even if it gets support, it will not improve much." If our army retreats to Changsha at this time, it will be too passive, and it will only increase the confidence of the enemy. I think that at this time, we should apply for reinforcements while constantly harassing our opponents in small-scale battles. Once the reinforcements are in place, we will be able to win by attacking from both sides. Now that our army has won a big victory, it should be easier to apply to the imperial court for reinforcements. ”
