Chapter 61: The Traitorous Cao Cao
The encirclement formed by the 150,000 Yellow Turban Army looked around the radius of ten miles, and within this range, Liu Jinsuo led more than 5,000 horsemen to rush and kill, but in the face of absolute numerical superiority, they were still compressed step by step The activity space.
"Dudu, the enemy army is strong, and our army is alone, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out if it goes on like this!" , Gongsun Zhan, who had been following Liu Jin's side, reminded Liu Jin urgently.
Looking at the Yellow Turban sergeants who were constantly attacking in front of him, he was as brave as Liu Jin and knew that what Gongsun Chan said was the truth. Glancing at Zhang Mancheng's handsome flag hatefully, Liu Jin gave up the preparation to capture the flag.
"The whole army broke through to the south and charged !!" , Liu Jin shouted, leading the Xiaowu guards led by Dian Wei and Zhang Liao to continue to charge.
More than 5,000 cavalry of the Han Army, under the leadership of Liu Jin, were like meteor rockets shooting through the night sky, only one charge, and the Han cavalry with three fierce generals was no longer something that the Yellow Turban Army could stop.
Seen from above, amid the thunderous hooves, a Han cavalry avoided the heavy Yellow Turban Army in the mighty Yellow Turban Army Formation, and instead drew a semicircle, heading straight to the ordinary Yellow Turban Army formation in the south.
The fierce cavalry front arrow formation swept through the encirclement that had not yet been fully formed, and with the high-speed gallop of the war horses, the knights on the horses shook off their spears and broadswords, like a reef parting the waves, and let the Yellow Turban Army continue to pounce, they always rushed to the south and charged firmly.
"Righteousness, life and death go hand in hand, the sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof" I don't know who shouted hoarsely and angrily, and killed the yellow turban soldiers who rushed towards him with the spear in his hand, the seemingly endless yellow figure.
Zhang Mancheng was shocked, he saw this cavalry collide with the Yellow Turban Warriors and the Divine Envoy Army under his command, and he also watched the cavalry of the official army being continuously compressed into the space for movement. Just when Zhang Mancheng thought that he had the chance of victory, this cavalry, which was only 5,000 people, actually killed out horizontally from his iron bucket-like army. Along the road, countless Yellow Turban soldiers were killed and injured by high-speed galloping war horses, and countless people were killed by knives and guns.
"Damn it, stop them for me. Ordered Yan Zheng and Sun Zhong to lead an army of 30,000 to stop the enemy." Zhang Mancheng shouted angrily and quickly passed down the order.
I can't help Zhang Mancheng not be angry, if he changes anyone, the great achievement that is about to be done will fly like this, not to mention, but let the enemy army rampant in his own army, like entering a no-man's land, and calmly come out after killing countless people, who can not be angry? If this is spread, I am afraid that I, the divine envoy, will become the laughing stock of the entire Yellow Turban Rebel Army.
"Brother Sun, the marshal has lost his temper, if he can't stop this enemy army, I'm afraid that the good days of the two of us will come to an end", thinking of the looted official woman in his military tent, Yan Zheng was a big finger.
"Brother Yan, don't worry, we just need to do this, and we will definitely be able to capture the enemy army!" Looking at the Han cavalry that was still two or three miles away, Sun Zhong smirked proudly.
"Okay, it's still Brother Sun's plan, little brother will do it!" Yan Zheng said, and immediately called a cronie and asked him to take his token to mobilize people.
With the passing of Yan Zheng's order, the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army with wooden sticks and hoes began to condense, and they were shoulder to shoulder, and in a short time a wall of people was formed more than a mile thick.
The Yellow Turban Army at the front was composed of 2,000 soldiers armed with improvised wooden shields and wooden pole spears. Among Rulin's spears, there were some iron weapons such as Changge halberds captured from the Han army.
"Brothers, the reward for capturing the enemy will be 100 gold, and the officer who kills the enemy and rides will be promoted to one level", Yan Zheng rode a thin horse and shouted loudly for the army.
As soon as he heard that he could be promoted and there was a reward, the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army were all boiling. In troubled times, there is nothing more secure than military power and gold and silver.
"Drink, drink, drink" The 30,000 troops shouted angrily together, cheering for themselves and their comrades-in-arms.
A moment later, the galloping war horses roared and collided head-on with the Yellow Turban soldiers in the front row, but because the crowd gathered by the Yellow Turban soldiers was too thick, although the Yellow Turban Formation was hit by a group of people on their backs, but the heavy crowd still greatly alleviated the impact of the Han cavalry, just like a stone was thrown into the lake, just a wave.
"Hey, this enemy army is more tenacious than imagined", Liu Jin exclaimed, a little anxious in his heart.
"Nine Strikes of the Sun", "Diving into the Abyss", "Dragon and Phoenix Singing"
Three violent shouts exploded in the Han cavalry array, three people, four halberds frantically slaughtered the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of the horse, and for a time the thick military formation of more than a mile was torn open by Liu Jin and the three of them. The surging iron cavalry roared along this small gap, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to Yan Zheng.
"Where are the ambushes?" Seeing Liu Jin showing off his might in front of him, Yan Zheng shouted, and thousands of elite soldiers holding halberds and long ges suddenly poured out of the surging crowd.
These elite guards of Yan Zheng and Sun Zhong suddenly broke out at this moment, and the Han army that was killed suddenly turned on their backs. The leading Yanmen Iron Cavalry and White Horse Yi were assassinated two or three hundred horsemen in an instant, if it weren't for their excellent riding skills, they were afraid that the loss would be even greater.
The cavalry of the Yue cavalry battalion immediately behind them was miserable, and they were stabbed by a burst of random guns, killing and wounding four or five hundred people in an instant, and a huge hole appeared in the tight military formation.
"Brethren, shoulder to shoulder! Promotion and fortune are today", Sun Zhong in the distance shouted, commanding the Yellow Turban soldiers to rush and kill desperately.
Liu Jin was angry, when had he suffered such a big loss? Even Bu Ji, Peng Tuo and the like only relied on some elite troops in their hands to make their own troops lose one or two hundred horses. But now, in this ordinary Yellow Turban Army, hundreds of people were killed and wounded in just one charge, which has never been done before.
"The hidden dragon enters the abyss", Liu Jin shouted hysterically, and the painted dragon Qingtian halberd in his hand shook rapidly, and after only one breath, the ink-colored dragon was formed extremely quickly.
"Ah!!h Liu Yang let out a miserable scream, and the three-edged iron gun in his hand pierced through the body of a yellow turban who sneaked into him, and his resolute face was filled with persistence, and he followed Liu Jin's steps closely and entered the dense yellow turban army formation.
"Suffer death!" , Liu Jin painted a dragon halberd to sweep, and Yan Zheng on the war horse didn't even have a chance to react, and looked at Liu Jin's painted dragon halberd in a daze to divide his body into two.
didn't look at Yan Zheng's corpse, the painted dragon halberd in Liu Jin's hand kept on going, and after killing several people again, he picked up a leader of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Knock knock, knock knock", a series of rapid and loud war drums suddenly came from the southeast, and a red-clad Han cavalry suddenly appeared in the south.
The number of this cavalry was not large, but it was only about a thousand horses, but the leader was too conspicuous. I saw this person wearing a red robe and black armor, a black war horse on his hip, and a golden horse about a foot long in his hand.
A thousand cavalry lined up behind this man, as if they were a flock of geese led by wild geese. They were in a hurry, and like a whirlwind, they smashed into the weak flank of the Yellow Turban Army, and went straight to Sun Zhong, who was surrounded by hundreds of people.
Maybe they didn't have the terrifying combat power and piercing ability of Liu Jin's army, but after the Yellow Turban Army's attention was all attracted by Liu Jin's army, their offensive was extremely fierce.
It was only a stick of incense or so, and the iron cavalry led by this man killed in front of Sun Zhong's personal guards. Behind them, at least 2,000 of Sun Zhong's subordinates fell, blood flowing, mixed with countless stumps and broken arms, making people feel sick.
"Riding Captain Cao Cao is here, the thief will die", the man who was only six feet seven or eight inches tall shouted, and the golden horse lance in his hand was like a golden arrow, and it disappeared into Sun Zhong's throat in a blink of an eye.
Hearing the shout, Liu Jin hurriedly raised his eyes to look. happened to see Cao Cao's feat of stabbing Sun Zhong under the horse, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah Hide it? It is worthy of a generation of traitors, and the grasp of the fighter is really admirable."
"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!! Brothers, kill", Liu Jin shouted here, leading the Han cavalry, which had less than 5,000 cavalry left, straight to the southeast.
The Yellow Turban Army, which lost its commander, immediately fell into disarray, and under the hedging and strangulation of the two Han armies, they broke and fled one after another. What promotion and wealth are like dung at this moment, if you don't even have your life, what's the use of asking for these? Didn't you see that the two Qu Shuai were killed? Run!
A clever Yellow Turban soldier did not run away, but quickly threw away the weapon in his hand, knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, and kept shouting: "General, I surrender, I surrender."
After killing the Yellow Turban thieves who blocked the way, the two Han armies converged and galloped towards the southeast, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye in Zhang Mancheng's angry scolding, as if they had never existed.
The only traces of their existence are the stumps and severed arms all over the ground, and the regrouped Han soldiers. With the desperate cover of the Yue cavalry battalion, Liu Jin's cavalry, and Cao Cao's cavalry, Dong Chong finally reassembled his army, and after Cui Lie's death, Dong Zhong became the highest-ranking de facto commander of the Han army, which had less than 20,000 men remaining.
In the southeast of Luoyang City, thirty miles northwest of Dagu Pass, the Han army led by Liu Jin followed Cao Cao's cavalry to rest here.
"In Xia'anbei General Liu Jin, thank Cao Duwei for his help" For Cao Cao's help at the last moment, Liu Jin only pretended to say thank you.
However, Cao Cao said unceremoniously: "General Liu is polite, you and I both serve the imperial court, and it is appropriate to help each other!" ”。
Hearing this, Liu Jin rolled his eyes, and wondered in his heart: "Don't they all say that the ancients were very sincere?" How can I meet careerists like Gongsun Chan and Cao Cao?"
"Captain Cao, now that Luoyang is besieged, and the rescuers led by General Dong have been defeated by the thief army, I am afraid that the hearts of the troops in the city will be chaotic!" , Liu Jin sighed and did not continue to dwell on the issue of helping each other.
When Cao Cao heard this, his brows were also furrowed, and he sighed before he said, "Yes!" However, General Liu doesn't have to worry too much, in my opinion, with the current strength of Luoyang City, it will not be a problem to hold on for a few days, but" (to be continued)
