Chapter 104: Surrendering the Yellow Turban Army (1)

"What does the general mean by relying on our own 4,000 men and horses to shake the Yellow Turbans under the city? Thus defeated in one fell swoop? Tai Shici was taken aback by Han Lie's idea and asked with some hesitation.

"Ziyi thinks it's inappropriate?" Han Lie turned over and lay on the mountain bag, folded a dog's tail grass in his mouth, looked at the stars in the sky and asked.

"It's a bit risky, and if something unexpected happens, I'm afraid we'll get into a tough battle." Tai Shici said hesitantly.

"Chirp! Chirp! At this moment, Han Lie suddenly heard a strange bird cry in his ears, and he was taken aback, and immediately pushed Tai Shici and said, "Quick, get out of the mountain." Without waiting for Tai Shi Ci to react, Han Lie held his head and rolled down the hill like a dumpling.

"Damn, how could the sparrowhawk from Yaoji Palace appear here?" Han Lie, who rolled down the hillside, pulled out the Tai'a sword at his waist, cut a few vines, and weaved them into a helmet and basket to put on himself, frowning and scolding.

"What did the general find?" Tai Shi Ci threw himself in the grass and asked vigilantly.

Han Lie nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Returning to the foot of the mountain, he took the war horse, turned over Han Lie, and drove the horse as he ran: "I heard the call of the sparrowhawk just now, it is a messenger bird in the possession of a mysterious female assassin in the Yellow Turban Rebels, it can track and detect, it is more terrifying than the scout scouts. ”

"The Yellow Turban rebels even domesticated such birds?" Tai Shi Ci was surprised and walked side by side with Han Lie and said: "In the past, I was in Liaodong, and I saw some cautious nobles, raising a kind of spear eagle, fierce and spiritual, able to transmit information and track the prey, but the spear eagle is very difficult to tame, and it must be raised and domesticated by himself since childhood, so it is possible to cultivate spirituality, so they only recognize one master for life, and for this reason, the north and even the Central Plains rarely see it." ”

"Oh, in this era, there are people in Liaodong who raise spear eagles, if he has the opportunity to raise one with his own hands." Han Lie replied in surprise, but in his mind, he couldn't help but recall about Hai Dongqing in the Liaodong region in later generations, in fact, the spear eagle in Tai Shici's mouth was the totem divine bird Hai Dongqing in the mouth of the Jin people in later generations.

"With the might of the general, it will be able to come to Liaodong one day, take back the hometown of the four counties of my Han Dynasty, and raise the majesty of my Han Dynasty." Tai Shi Ci raised his voice.

"Ziyi, can I believe what you say?" Han Lie laughed loudly, raised his whip and drove the horse away.

"General Mingjian, Ziyi's words, from the bottom of my heart, now the four counties of Liaodong, thousands of miles of land, have already been eaten away by the three Koreas, I think sooner or later they will fall into the hands of foreign races, only a heroic man like the general can have the possibility of recovering my lost land in Liaodong." Tai Shi Ci suddenly raised his voice and said angrily.

"Haha." Han Lie laughed loudly and asked, "He entered Liaodong with 100,000 iron hooves in his year, can Ziyi be a pioneer?" ”

"I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses." Tai Shi Ci chased after him, glanced at Han Lie, and laughed loudly.

"Haha......"

Since he found that there was a sparrowhawk hovering overhead, Han Lie knew that the sneak attack was already ineffective, so when it was dawn on the second day, Han Lie summoned the three armies, and appeared under Beihai City with a dignified and upright army.

As early as Han Lie was still thirty miles away with his army, Guan Hai, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, had already received the news of the Yellow Turban Holy Maiden Zhang Yao and learned the news of Han Lie's support for the army.

After receiving Zhang Yao's report on the military situation, Guan Hai immediately sent scouts to investigate the strength and banner of Han Lie's army.

For this reason, when Han Lie's troops arrived at the city, Guan Hai had already learned that Han Lie's troops were only 4,000 people, and when he learned that the Han army that came to help was only 4,000 people, Guan Hai, who was relieved of his worries, immediately gathered troops and horses from all sides to meet the battle.

Now that they have 200,000 horses and horses, they have besieged Beihai for ten months, whether it is military food or morale, they are almost at the bottom, at this time, for Guan Hai, a victory is urgently needed to boost morale, as well as the determination to break the dead defense of the defenders in the city.

But at this moment, Guan Hai obviously saw the dawn, if it was 10,000 Han troops who would come, he might still need to weigh it, but with 4,000 men and horses, he had enough confidence to fight.

Not to mention that he has 200,000 horses, in his opinion, with the 10,000 elite soldiers under his account alone, if you add the nearly 100,000 people and strong, in a field battle in such a hilly area under Beihai City, he is confident that he can swallow up these 4,000 Han troops in one fell swoop with the tactics of crowds.

Guan Hai, who needed this victory too much, couldn't wait to lead the army out, although he informed Zhang Yao of the strength of the invading Han army, but ignored the general and other information of the Han army.

However, although Guan Hai thought that he could defeat the 4,000 Han troops with his 10,000 elite soldiers, in order to prevent the defenders in the city from joining forces from outside the city, he did not transfer the elite soldiers and people from all sides besieging the city, but took the 5,000 elite soldiers of the Chinese army and the 30,000 people who had experienced many siege battles, and put on a huge momentum to meet Han Lie's men.

35,000 men and horses against 4,000 Han troops, in his opinion, was enough to gain the initiative on the battlefield and win the battle.

The sun is three poles, and the sun is blazing and dazzling.

Three miles away, Han Lie on horseback saw a rumbling sound of footsteps in the direction of the dust that covered the sky.

"Drive!" After Han Lie raised his sword and ordered the troops to stop, he immediately drove his horse out and rushed to the mound next to the post road.

The mound is not high, at most it is a dirt slope a few zhang high, Han Lie, who ran up the dirt slope, raised his eyes to look at the scorching sun in mid-air, after feeling the direction of the wind, he raised his eyes and looked at the huge Yellow Turban rebel formation in front of him, silently calculated him, and then Pegasus returned to the queue.

"The order was given to each battalion to move three miles south and line up on the banks of the Yingshui River to meet the enemy." Facing the puzzled glances cast by the generals, Han Lie did not explain, but gave a strange order.

"Whoa." Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and other generals who had always known that Han Lie's words were like a mountain, flew out one after another.

Tai Shici hesitated and said: "Camping against the water, the soldiers are taboo, we don't have any surprise troops available at the moment, and the general is not worried that once defeated, the three armies will inevitably fall into a desperate situation?" ”

"Since Ziyi knows about fighting against the water, doesn't he know that he will be shipwrecked?" Han Lie immediately stood in front of the military formation, smiled faintly, pointed to the sun in mid-air, and said, "Ziyi, look at it again, our army is lined up here, and after half an hour, if the enemy army rushes up head-on, what is the line of sight?" Also, what's the wind right now? ”

"Half an hour, the sun is in the south sky, the sun is dazzling, the southeast wind direction, standing on the edge of the river, the wind direction is conducive to arrows." Tai Shi Ci groaned, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Ziyi really knows the soldiers, as a general, when he judges the situation, occupies the best geographical advantages, and supplements the soldiers and peace, he can not be defeated in a hundred battles." Han Lie smiled faintly, looking at the Yellow Turban army that was getting closer and closer, he ordered with a calm expression: "Prepare the bow and arrows." ”

Four thousand men and horses, arranged in eight squares, crossed by two echelons, this time Han Lie led the army to the expedition, in order to speed up the march, although each sergeant was only equipped with twelve feather arrows, but at this time, these 48,000 feather arrows, if they were really all fired, were enough to cause devastating casualties to the Yellow Turban rebels in front of them.

Five hundred steps away, Guan Hai came with a knife and a horse, and when he saw the Han army camping on the back of the water, crowded on the bank of the Yingshui River, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, in his opinion, this Han army at this moment has become a dish in his bowl.

"Slow down and make a surprise attack." Seeing that the big battle was imminent, Guan Hai immediately issued an order to slow down, the purpose of this is to relieve the physical strength consumed by the soldiers before the war, and to cause greater psychological pressure on the enemy.

"Wow! Ooh! Ooh! ”

On the open hills and fields, the yellow turbans fluttered, and the 35,000 yellow turban troops, all wrapped in yellow scarves on their heads, held high all kinds of weapons in their hands, and let out a deafening roar.

On the banks of the Yingshui River, Han Lie's army array.

Four thousand soldiers of the Red Flame Army, dressed neatly dressed as two guards of the heart, wearing red robes, holding mulberry bows, bending bows and arrows, looking at the Yellow Turban Army coming from the mountains and tsunami, waiting for the moment of decisive battle.

"The effective range of the rain of arrows is one hundred and twenty paces, and the best distance for shooting is fifty paces, and now with the help of the wind, the first round of a hundred paces of fire, by the time the enemy is close to thirty paces, it is enough to shoot five rounds of arrows, causing at least half of the enemy to be wounded and killed." Tai Shi Ci slowly pulled up the iron tire bow on horseback, although this iron tire bow was the same as Zhao Yun's divine arm bow, it was a five-stone bow, but it was captured from the Xianbei people when he was in Liaodong, the rate of fire was faster and the lethality was more amazing.

Han Lie, who was in command in front of the formation, listened to Tai Shici's words and silently calculated the distance between the two sides, but when Guan Hai's front soldiers stepped out of the distance of a hundred steps, Han Lie, who had cold eyes, shouted and said, "Release the arrow." ”

"Whoosh ......" rain of arrows fell all over the sky, making a burst of wind-breaking sound.

"Poof!" A yellow turban soldier who rushed to the front row, listening to the sound of arrows in his ears, he didn't have time to dodge, his expression was frightened, his eyes were wide as he watched a feather arrow shoot into his body, and then the sound of several feather arrows entering the flesh in a row instantly shot him into a hedgehog.

"Kill, kill...... Those who dare to retreat, slash! Guan Hai stood in the middle of the military formation, looking at the rain of arrows falling from the sky, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and his expression did not show any panic, as a general, he has rich combat experience, such a rain of arrows shooting, at most a few rounds, although the momentum is huge, the damage caused is naturally nothing to him at the moment, and the sergeants in front of the team are just some people, and in his eyes they are just cannon fodder.

And now he is going to use these cannon fodder to push it up in one fell swoop, so as to crush Han Lie's military array, and then lead the elite of his department to annihilate the Han army in front of him who dares to challenge him in one fell swoop.
