Chapter 20: Breaking Out of the Encirclement
In addition to leaving the necessary people to guard and guard, most of the rest of the Yellow Turban thieves have already fallen asleep on the faint bonfire, and a little more rest will restore a little more strength, and there will be more hope for a breakthrough. Although Ma Yue said it easily, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be so optimistic if he really wanted to break out of the encirclement.
Even if you can break out of the encirclement, you still have to have enough physical strength to run away before you can get rid of the encirclement and interception of the officers and soldiers.
Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao were also completely sleepy, and followed Ma Yue to stand on a protruding cliff, overlooking the movement of the officials and troops under the mountain, although the three of them snorted at each other, they almost couldn't see it, it was the darkest time before dawn. On the opposite hill, the fire was still not extinguished, and Ma Yue's eyes flashed by, and he said in a deep voice: "The plan has changed, you can't wait until dawn to break through, wake up the brothers immediately, and go down the mountain immediately!" ”
Guan Hai was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ma Yue stretched out his hand and pointed to the fire on the opposite mountain, and said in a deep voice: "The commander of the official army is a very powerful character, you see, there are official and military eyeliners on the opposite mountain, once the sky is bright, the official and military eyeliners on the mountain can see our every move, once we have a move, we can immediately report our movements to the officers and soldiers under the mountain, and the officers and troops under the mountain can concentrate their forces to prepare for the attack in advance." ”
Pei Yuanshao lost his voice and said, "It's too bad now." ”
Ma Yue said in a condensed voice: "Now is the darkest time, and it is also the most tired time for the officers and soldiers, we can skip the torches and go down the mountain to break through while the sky is still dark!" ”
Pei Yuanshao said: "The mountain road is rugged and steep, and if you don't light a torch, it is easy to fall into the mountain stream and get injured. ”
Ma Yue said: "I can't care about this, but tell the brothers to go down the mountain arm in arm to avoid stumbling." ”
Guan Hai said awe-inspiringly: "Boqi, this group of officers and soldiers is not ordinary cunning, we fled all the way south from Wancheng, but we didn't suffer less from them, will there be an ambush under the mountain?" Once the breakthrough fails, it's all over. ”
"No!" Ma Yue said categorically, "The officers and soldiers must think that we will not go down the mountain until after dawn to break through!" ”
Guan Hai said awe-inspiringly: "Bo Qi is so sure? ”
"Definitely!"
"Why?"
Ma Yue's eyes showed wolf-like eyes: "Because the officers and soldiers don't know how powerful I am!" ”
Ma Yue's undoubted tone revealed a strong self-confidence, which made Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shaowen's hearts stir, any difficulties seemed to be solved by Ma Yue, no matter how dangerous the situation was, as long as Ma Yue was there, there was still hope for survival. It was from this moment that Ma Yue established absolute prestige in the hearts of Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao.
Is Ma Yue really so confident? Of course not! It's just taking risks, it's gambling. Ma Yue has always believed in a truth, born in troubled times, life is gambling, gambling losing, anyway, it doesn't matter, if you win the bet, you win everything, that's all.
……
In the camp of the official army under the mountain, the leaders of the volunteers from all walks of life and Qin Jie also stayed awake all night.
Although the mountain is steep, the radius is only more than ten miles, and it is a lonely peak. Qin Jie's volunteers from all walks of life together are only more than 3,000 people, and although the troops are insufficient to comprehensively encircle the mountain, it is more than enough to guard the key points at various intersections. What's more, Qin Jie was sure that the yellow scarf on the mountain had become a frightened bird, and he would never dare to rashly go down the mountain to break through before dawn.
As soon as Zhu Jun's army arrives after dawn, it will only be a matter of time before the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are wiped out.
In the tent, Zou Jing arched his hand to Qin Jie and proposed, "My lord, did you send a few groups of sentry spies to sneak up the mountain to spy on the thief?" ”
"There is no need to make such a move, I expect that the thief has become a frightened bird, and he will not dare to act rashly. You can arrange military horses, carefully guard the intersections, and do not let a thief escape, and then the official will ask General Zhu for credit for you. ”
Qin Jie waved his hand, confidently brushed the flowing willow whiskers under his chin, this guy was a little carried away by last night's victory, Qin Jie was a scholar, full of poetry and books, to compare and enjoy, self-esteem, last night a design, everything was as he expected, trapped in the yellow scarf in the Jingshan Jedi, the generals of the volunteers from all walks of life have long admired him to the ground, Qin Jie is naturally very proud in his heart.
Being said by Qin Jie, Zou Jing also felt that his worries were too much, the yellow turban thieves on the mountain didn't know the reality of the officials and soldiers under the mountain, how could they dare to break through the mountain at night? Taking a step back, even if the officers and troops go down the mountain to break through, they can't roll down the mountain with a blind man and a blind horse, right? As long as they light the torches, the Wen Ping on the mountain can find out the movement, and naturally report it to the camp, and the army can calmly arrange and prepare.
……
On the top of Jing Mountain, there were several bonfires lit, Ma Yue asked some Yellow Turban thieves to cut hay and tie them into straw men, and then put on the clothes of Yellow Turban Thieves, or sit or lie down, around the fire, opposite Wen Ping on the mountain looked far away, as if the Yellow Turban thieves were still on the top of the mountain, and regularly sent a signal to the camp under the mountain, indicating that everything was fine.
On the mountainside, the night is like ink. Ma Yue took the lead, after Pei Yuanshao broke off, Guan Hai held Zou Yuniang in the middle, and more than 1,000 yellow turban thieves held hands like a string of grasshoppers, struggling to touch the stones to go down the mountain.
When they descended to the foot of the mountain, a group of officers and soldiers sat around a bonfire at the intersection ahead, blocking the way. This group of officers and men leaned against each other, warmed themselves around the fire, and seemed to have fallen asleep, but they could not untie their clothes and knives in their hands, and they could immediately get up and fight at the slightest disturbance.
It seems to be a well-trained elite soldier, Ma Yue's brows furrowed instantly, and he seemed to be unlucky.
Although there are only five officers and soldiers in this group, it is easy to eliminate, but it is difficult not to alarm another group of officers and soldiers a hundred steps away, once that group of officers and soldiers is alarmed, about a thousand steps away is the official army camp, if the officers and soldiers in the camp are also as vigilant as these guys, the officers and soldiers of the brigade can be killed in a very short time, and then the yellow turban thieves will fall into a bitter battle.
Ma Yue didn't dare to lead this group of sheep to fight hard with the officials and soldiers, it was basically no different from suicide.
The direction that Ma Yue chose to break through was the northern foot of Jingshan, which was Huang Zhong's defense area. Huang Zhong's martial arts are strong, his archery skills are even more extraordinary, and he is familiar with military books, proficient in the art of war, and has the potential to be a general! The only drawback may be that he has not led many soldiers and has a little lack of experience in battle, but the deployment of troops around the mountain is still impeccable, which makes Ma Yue, a rookie, at a loss.
What to do? Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, once the east turns white, it will be difficult for the yellow turban thieves who have descended to the foot of the mountain to hide their traces anymore, and they must immediately rush out of the encirclement, and they can no longer linger.
Damn, let's die, fight!
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Ma Yue gritted his teeth and stood up, and his terrible roar suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Brothers, don't fight with the officers and soldiers, spread your legs, and follow me north...... Run Wow! ”
The words fell, Ma Yue was the first to rush out, more than a thousand yellow scarves followed like a shadow, closely following, and the tide swept over the mountain pass guarded by the five officers and soldiers, but the poor five officers and soldiers had not even had time to resist, they had been shot by Guan Hai with three arrows in a row, one of which penetrated three people!
However, the group of officers and soldiers a hundred paces away was still inevitably alarmed, and they shouted fiercely, and soon there was movement in the camp of the officers and soldiers a thousand paces away, and the long horn began to sound, and then the rousing drums also sounded.
At this time, the first rays of dawn happened to break through the darkness and fell on the northern foot of Jingshan, and on the snowy surface, a wave of yellow angry waves was surging towards the back.
……
Qinjie camp.
Hearing the sound of drums, everyone was taken aback, and Qin Jie shouted and asked, "Where is the drum?" ”
Huang Zhong listened attentively for a moment, and his face changed greatly: "My lord is not good, the Yellow Turban Thief Kou is breaking through from the last general's defense area!" ”
"It can't be!" Qin Jie was shocked and said, "If the Yellow Turban Thief Kou breaks through, there will be news from Wen Ping on Kunshan Mountain." ”
Cai Mao's expression moved, and he said, "Could it be that the soldiers are drunk and making trouble?" ”
Huang Zhong's face turned cold, and he responded: "The camp is bitter, and there has never been alcohol, why are you drunk?" ”
Cai Mao's expression froze, and she turned her face away.
Huang Zhong bowed his hand to Qin Jie and said in a deep voice: "Lord Qin, I will return to the camp to find out what is going on." ”
Qin Jie waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, if it is the Yellow Turban Thief who breaks through, this official should personally bring the army to come." ”
