"The thieves are defeated!" "The thieves are defeated!" The people, who were very excited, also threw themselves into the ranks of shouting, and they were on the side of the street, making a way for the cavalry, shouting wildly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing the excited shouts one after another, not only the people were infected, but the defenders on the head of the city were even more demoralized.
"Kill, reinforcements are coming, and the arrogance of the thief army has been crushed!" The morale of the defenders was immediately refreshed, and their strength was more than doubled in an instant, brandishing broadswords and spears, and attacked the Yellow Turban Army that had climbed the city one by one.
"Brothers, you are all good!" The strong men were fully armed, as agile as apes, and they jumped a few times on their horses and climbed to the top of the city where the fierce battle was raging. With the surge of fresh blood, those defenders who were like blood men could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The numerical disadvantage was gone, and the wounded were treated and carried out of the battlefield in time. But there are still things on the ground that are staggered, or disemboweled, or beheaded, or cut off by the waist...... A horrible death.
Stepping on the corpses of the enemy, he launched a powerful counterattack, and in just a moment, he suppressed the arrogance of the enemy. Screaming again and again, a group of dead bodies fell on the city, of course, this time it was the tragic defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, those who were brave and good at fighting, and were not afraid of life and death, all blood stained the city.
The most promising offensive was suppressed by Li Yi's reinforcements, and it collapsed, unable to climb to the top of the city again.
"Brothers, go forward and kill!" Li Yi led the army, covering all the way from south to north, and the Yellow Turban Army that ran wildly all the way was really vulnerable, and they were beaten to the ground, and they were all contained and detained.
Seeing that Li Yi was like a bamboo, and easily hit the city of Wuji, Zhang Ying led the soldiers and horses, and also took advantage of the situation to kill out of the city, forming a two-sided attack with Li Yi, killing Zhao Fan's thousands of men and horses like a decrepit annihilation, and this Zhao Qushuai was also killed on the spot.
But Wang Yong was very alert, he saw that the situation was not good, and led the remnants of the army to flee in the wilderness, and even fought his way out of the encirclement, and fled.
"The 20,000 Yellow Turban Army is basically cleared, and our army will enter the city to repair, and the follow-up soldiers and horses will follow up in the coming day, and then fight with the enemy." After meeting Zhang Ying, Li Yi was full of smiles.
"With one enemy and ten, our army must not slack off at all. Taking advantage of the great victory, quickly crossing the Yutuo River and seizing the initiative in the war is the key to defeating the enemy. Zhang Ying's attitude is very resolute.
"Crossing the ...... of the Yutuo River," Li Yi said to himself: "We have 10,000 soldiers, and we have 10,000 enemies, what are the chances of victory?" Is it better to cross the Tuo River later? ”
"The rapid flow of the Xutuo River is a natural barrier, and with a small number of soldiers and horses, the river can be defended. But we are to eliminate most of the Yellow Turban troops in Jizhou, if it is consumed in Xiaquyang for a long time, how can we achieve the expected goal? Zhang Ying retorted.
"But how sure are we that 10,000 against 100,000?"
"Don't forget, in addition to the Yutuo River, there is also a Quyang River in front, and our army first settled between the two rivers to lure Zhang Bao into battle."
"Seducing Zhang Bao?" Li Yi had a trace of doubt on his face, but he thought that the enemy was outnumbered, Zhang Bao was no matter how cautious he was, he would not shrink down from Quyang, this battle was inevitable. After thinking for a while, Li Yi suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "I see, this is really a clever plan!" ”
Seeing Li Yiru's sudden feeling of opening his mouth, Zhang Ying smiled slightly and said: "With this inconspicuous river, we can make a big fuss, and there is a chance that Zhang Bao will be planted for a while!" ”
"Okay, let's divide the troops now." Li Yi was interested, but he didn't stay for a moment, and immediately sent his troops between the two waters.
At this time, Zhang Bao was strolling outside the city of Xiaquyang, looking at the north from afar, with a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth. No matter how smart Zhang Bao was, he would never have thought that an army of 20,000 would not be able to capture the city of Wuxiao, let alone that 20,000 people would be able to annihilate the entire army.
Just as Zhang Bao was looking forward to the good news coming back with great pride, he suddenly saw a few war horses coming from the dust, the smile on Zhang Bao's face turned into a laugh, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Taking Wuji City can support our army's food and salary for several years, such a big man will fight without a fight!" ”
But Zhang Bao was proud for a moment, and his expression became a little dull, because he saw that the few horses rushing were not scouts who reported victory, but the remnants of the defeated army with crooked armor and slanted armor and covered with dust and blood.
took away 10,000 people, how could he only escape and count the horses, this is too outrageous, even if he loses to the official army, with that low combat effectiveness, how can he kill the king and wipe out the whole army?
Before Zhang Bao could ask the reason, Wang Yong cried with a sad face and shouted in a mournful tone: "It's over, my 10,000 brothers are all finished!" Saying that, it was already painful, and a big man actually cried bitterly.
Although Zhang Bao expected it, he was still taken aback when he heard Wang Yong say it in person, and his tense face immediately became extremely gloomy.
"You...... Darn...... How did more than 10,000 elites lose everything? Zhang Bao shouted almost hoarsely.
"General Qiqi Digong, Zhao Fan and the last general took turns to attack the city, but they couldn't take it very much, but they didn't know where a team of soldiers and horses came, there were thousands, and they were all elite cavalry. Our soldiers and horses were sleepy and lacking, and suddenly they were attacked by thousands of elite horsemen, and the team immediately collapsed. The king wept as if he had been severely wounded by the enemy.
But where did Zhang Bao know that Wang Yong did not confront Li Yi at all, and his thousands of people, in the process of breaking through, lost most of them, and came to the bank of the Xutuo River, walked along the river bank for a long time, only to find a small boat, then left hundreds of brothers, and fled with a few relatives.
Seeing Wang Yong's tragic situation and his sadness, Zhang Bao believed most of it, nodded indifferently and helplessly: "Do you know who is coming?" ”
"Who helped you escape?" Wang Yong didn't know very well, he only knew that the banner of the enemy army was the Li banner, and after a few hesitations, he said: "The enemy leader's surname is Li, judging from its combat effectiveness, it is not like the official army, but thousands of cavalry, who can have this strength?" ”
"The leader of the enemy army is surnamed Li, and he is not an officer and soldier, leading a group of cavalry, this is really a strange thing." Zhang Bao muttered to himself, his eyes looking at the north, as if he wanted to see a clue from it.
"Scout!" Just as Zhang Bao was concentrating on the north, he suddenly saw an elite horse galloping over, and it could be seen from the decoration at a glance that it was the scout who was looking for the results of the battle ahead.
"A mysterious army, holding high the banner of the Li character, is crossing the Yutuo River and coming to my Quyang, General Wangdi Gong has already made a decision!" (To be continued.) )
