Chapter Twenty-Seven: Two Days of Asking for Rain, Fighting the Emperor.
However, it was said that outside Yecheng, the capital of Jizhou, Lu Bu asked the old immortal of Nanhua to ask for a rainstorm within a radius of thirty miles, and the old immortal of Nanhua did not say a word, and opened the altar on the same day, and asked for a downpour that stunned Lu Bu.
The sudden rainstorm for two consecutive days caught the defenders in Yecheng off guard, and many defensive equipment were ineffective due to the heavy rain.
In the city guard mansion, Yecheng Taishou Li Chengzheng discussed the battle situation with the two gentlemen.
"Mr. Tian, Mr. Fu, this time, thanks to the two of you, you helped the official persuade the monks of the big families in the city to help in the war. How can the three thousand defenders in charge of the city defend Yecheng, this official is here to thank you. Li Cheng sincerely thanked Tian Feng and Fu Zhi on the other side. Li Yuan was originally the henchman of Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, and because of his good sycophancy, he was sent to Yecheng by Han Fu as a city guard. If it weren't for Tian Feng and Fu Zhu to persuade many wealthy families in the city to send soldiers to assist Li Cheng in defending the city, this Yecheng would have been attacked by Lu Bu a long time ago.
Tian Feng, who was in the first place on Li Cheng's left hand, did not give Taishou Li Cheng a good face, in his opinion, now is the time to be cautious and cautious, but Li Cheng, a sycophant, has the leisure to find himself and his friend to drink and chat, obviously a complete idiot. Moreover, these two continuous rainstorms made Tian Feng a little uneasy, this is already November, and it is not early summer, how can there be such a long-term rainstorm? And it was a rainstorm without warning, which was a bit strange. But Tian Feng is not a god, he doesn't know that this heavy rain is an 'artificial rain'. After Tian Feng and his friend Fu Zhu discussed many times to no avail, they could only quietly wait for the Yellow Turban Army outside the city to make a move, and then see each other to make a move
Dividing line
In the Huangfu Song camp a hundred miles away from Yecheng, a group of elites of the Han Dynasty, including Dong Zhuo, Cao Ying, and Zhu Jun, were analyzing the intelligence of the Yellow Turban Army with Huangfu Song.
"Our army is now well fed, although the heavy rain near Yecheng has delayed our journey for about a day, but by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, we can reach Yecheng. At that time, as long as they cover up the past in one go, they will definitely be able to break the Yellow Turban Army Thieves, after all, most of them are rabble and vulnerable. It was Cao Ying, Cao Mengde, the new captain of the thief, who spoke.
Dong Zhuo on the side heard Cao Ying say, "The rabble is vulnerable. After these words, he was very dissatisfied, because Dong Zhuo was defeated by these so-called 'vulnerable rabble'. If he hadn't sent a lot of money to He Jin in Luoyang, he would have been dismissed and investigated a long time ago. Even so, he still bears the name of being guilty of meritorious service. Therefore, Dong Zhuo objected immediately after Cao Ying finished speaking: "Meng De is a little too underestimated." I admit that the overall strength of the Yellow Turban Army is not very strong, but there are also some fierce generals and elite soldiers in their army, not to mention the mysterious person who claims to be Yuan Jianzhao. Not to mention their leader Zhang Jiao, although there is news that he is critically ill, but after all, he is a demon magician, if he fights for his life, what kind of demon magic is he showing, our army of 100,000 is only afraid that the future is worrying! That's all Dong has to say, and the rest is hopeful that General Huangfu will be clear. ”
Cao Ying and the rest of the people were silent after listening to Dong Zhuo's words, in the mouth of the remnants of the Jizhou Expeditionary Army, the mysterious person was infinitely demonized, and later that person became three feet tall, with a green face and fangs, eating human flesh raw, and taking people's surnames with a snap of his fingers. It was a boiling storm in the camp, and the morale of the army was greatly reduced. Although everyone in the tent knew that the man was not necessarily as terrifying as rumored, he must be a rare fierce general in the world.
It was Huangfu Song who finally opened the silent atmosphere, "Generals, no matter how powerful Yuan Jianzhao is, he is just one person, even if he is brave, is it as powerful as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu back then?" As long as he doesn't fight with him and directly covers the army in the past, no matter how powerful he is and how many people can he resist? Hundred? Thousand? Or ten thousand? As long as a part of the army is sent to entangle him, how can the rest of the Yellow Turban Army be the opponent of our army. Now everyone go back to the camp to prepare, and I am ready to let the army cook on the third watch and travel on the fourth watch. Levy Ming said that he rushed to Yecheng before noon, and killed this group of thieves in one go! ”
"No!" The generals responded in unison.
On the second day, Huangfu Song led a group of generals and 100,000 troops to rush to Yecheng, and the heavenly prince was also beautiful, and the torrential rain for two consecutive days stopped when it stopped, and the morale of the army also rose greatly.
At noon, the front army led by Cao Ying met the scout troops of Zhang Niujiao, and after reporting to Huang Fu Song, they were ordered to camp on the spot, and after the whole army had eaten lunch, Huang Fu Song beat the war drums of the attack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The 100,000-strong army slowly lined up according to the banner of Huangfu Song, with archers shooting at the two wings, the chariot array in the center, the spears and sword and shield soldiers in the front, and the cavalry guarding the rear army and the two wings, slowly attacking like a large battalion of the Yellow Turban Army. The defenders in Yecheng were all overjoyed when they saw the arrival of reinforcements, and Li Cheng listened to Tian Feng's advice and led three thousand elite soldiers out of the city to help in the battle.
In the two days of continuous rainstorms, Lü Bu led hundreds of thousands of people of the Yellow Turban Army to establish a total of 7749 interconnected camps at a relatively high position on the south bank of the Zhanghe River, and when Huangfu Song and Li Cheng led the army to attack the camp, Lü Bu did not stick to the camp, he took 50,000 old and weak out of the camp to meet the battle.
The two armies confronted each other, and Lu Bu took the lead in scolding: "The lackeys of the imperial court! You haven't eaten enough of Grandpa's awesomeness last time, okay! Today, I'll let you taste grandpa's awesomeness! I, Yuan Jianzhao, am here, who dares to fight with me! ”
The coach on the opposite side, Huangfu Song, saw Lu Bu's white horse and silver spear majestic, and suddenly gave birth to a heart of love for talent, and stepped forward to a hundred and fifty steps away from Lu Bu and shouted: "The person opposite, I heard that your accent is southerner, and you call yourself Yuan, I don't know what you have to do with the Yuan family in Nanyang?" "It's true that Huangfu Song thought too much, and mistakenly thought that Lu Bushi was a child of the Yuan family in Nanyang.
After listening to Huang Fu Song's words, Lu Bu paused for a moment, the pseudonym 'Yuan Jianzhao' was just the name of a classmate before crossing under Guangzong City, and his southern accent problem was of course because he was a southerner before he crossed over, but he didn't expect to be considered by Huang Fu Song as a child of the Yuan family in Nanyang.
After a while, Lu Bu shouted, "Not bad! I am a concubine of the Yuan family, but it is because I am in the Yuan family in Nanyang that I understand the dirtiness of you bureaucrats. Without further ado, send someone to fight me! Lu Bu made up his mind to pour dirty water on the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes.
"Wow! The enemy on the other side will be the people of the Yuan family in Nanyang! ”
"Is that the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke?"
"No, I can't think of it."
Huangfu Song sighed secretly, this Yuan family godson has no way, but a good general is committed to the thief, it seems that the old man is going to play a copy of them. didn't continue to talk to Lu Bu, and returned directly to the military formation.
"The whole army obeys the order! Offensive! Huangfu Song did not send a general to fight Lu Bu alone, and directly waved the command flag to command the army to kill the Yellow Turban Army. Lu Bu had long known that Huangfu Song would not fight with him, and after taking 50,000 old and weak to make a little contact with Huangfu Song's officers and soldiers, he immediately withdrew to the camp.
Huangfu Song saw it really in Gao Li's command car, Lu Bu's Yellow Turban Army was unable to fight against his own army at all, and the discipline was scattered and the formation was chaotic, which could be called a rabble. It seems that it is a wise move to give up the fighter. Huangfu Song ordered the army to attack the camp of the Yellow Turban Army cautiously and cautiously, and to guard against an ambush. The 100,000-strong army slowly attacked Lu Bu's first battalion with a steady momentum, but unexpectedly, Lu Bu only led the army to resist for a moment before rushing to the next battalion to defend.
At this time, Huangfu Song had already gotten off the control tower, and rode his horse to the front of the army in person, and carefully watched the second battalion, which was close to the first battalion, extremely wide, but there was no place for defense. Huangfu Song continued to order an attack on the second camp, and Lü Bu also withdrew to the third camp after a little resistance.
Now Huangfu Song is a little puzzled, why is it that every big camp is taken down so easily? At first, Huangfu Song thought that there would be ambushes hidden in the camp, but each large camp Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to carefully check it, and there was no ambush at all. Then Huang Fu Song, under Cao Ying's reminder, began to think that the thieves might have hidden the fire and cast a fire scheme, but they were soon overthrown by Huang Fu Song, and the thieves' camps were defended on two sides, one side connected to the next camp, and the other side was backed by the Zhanghe River. If there is a fire, the officers and soldiers will use the water of the Zhanghe River to extinguish the fire, and due to the heavy rain in the previous two days, there is still a lot of water in the camp, which is very unfavorable for the fire attack. Huangfu Song was puzzled and had no choice but to continue to order the attack on the next battalion, and Lu Bu of course followed the previous method, and immediately retreated to the next battalion after a little resistance every time.
Not to mention Huangfu Song, who was puzzled in the company camp, but said that Tian Feng and his friend Fu Zhi in Yecheng were standing on the city wall watching the battle, and they couldn't help but be suspicious when they saw several large battalions of the Yellow Turban Army that were all the way through the official army. No matter how weak this Yellow Turban Army is, there are hundreds of thousands of troops. Moreover, they broke several cities in Jizhou, and there was no shortage of soldiers, armor, grain and grass. How can it be so vulnerable? Is there a fraud? But seeing Huangfu Song's steady way of marching, I felt a little relieved.
Frustrated and stroked his beard and smiled: "Yuan Hao, I didn't expect that this Yellow Turban Army is useless, they have hundreds of thousands of people in vain, and they were killed by General Huangfu and were defeated. It seems that Yecheng is worry-free this time, hey, what is Yuan Hao still worried about? We have already sent out a fire attack, the possibility of ambush troops, is there any other way for their Yellow Turban Army to reverse the offensive of General Huangfu? ”
Tian Feng still frowned at the battalion, the battalion stretched for dozens of miles along the south bank of the Zhanghe River, which was extremely spectacular, but it was broken by the officers and soldiers wearing red armor all the way, and now the officers and troops are attacking the ninth battalion, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before the Yellow Turban Army is completely annihilated. But the uneasiness in Tian Feng's heart did not subside a little, on the contrary, with the deepening of the 100,000 army, the uneasiness in Tian Feng's heart became bigger and bigger.
'Damn! What did I miss? Haven't all the crises that may be encountered have been proven impossible? Why do I have a heartbeat? Could it be, do they have any back-up for the Yellow Turban Army? Damn!! Tian Feng slammed his fist into the female wall on the city wall, "Since that sudden rainstorm, I have been uneasy in my heart, what is going on?" Well? Wait, heavy rain? Tian Feng's face suddenly changed.
