It has been two months since the Yellow Turban Thieves in February, and in April, Chen Lin was maneuvering with Peng Tuo, occasionally winning, but the Yellow Turban Thieves were gathering more and more. Previously, Peng Tuo sent Huang Shao to attack Runan City successfully, and killed the Yuzhou Assassin Shi under Shangcai City, and Nanyang County Marshal Zhang Fan and Zhang Mancheng successfully killed Nanyang Taishou, and suddenly heard that the 20,000 army of Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei of the imperial court army was defeated by Yingchuan Bocai, but fortunately, Sima Sunjian, Sun Wentai, and the Zuojun were bravely rescued and were able to retreat. It is said that the assassin history of Youzhou in the north was also killed by the Yellow Turban, and the development of the Yellow Turban thief actually showed the trend of destroying the Han Dynasty.

After Chen Lin Erdu attacked Peng Tuo's camp, he rushed straight to the ambush, but Peng Tuo didn't dare to chase after him, so Chen Linkong waited. However, Peng Tuo's camp suffered and burned most of the grain and grass, as long as Chen Lin delayed the march of the grain transport team, I don't know how long Peng Tuo could support it. Seeing that Peng Tuo did not dare to chase after him, Chen Lin ordered the whole army to retreat ten miles and rest for a day or two. At this time, Huang Yan said: "Big young master, if you attack Peng Tuo's camp today, you can probably know that there are really sixty or seventy thousand Yellow Turban troops outside this Pingxing City, Huang Yan is thinking, how many Yellow Turban troops will there be in Shangcai." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, it seemed that Huang Yan wanted to divert the target and hit the idea of Shangcai Yellow Turban. There are already 70,000 here, and the base camp of the Runan Yellow Turban is in Xihua County, and there are several neighboring counties to defend, I don't know how many Yellow Turbans Shang Cai can have. Chen Lin thought that most of the grain and grass in Pingxing Pengtuo were burned, and after this big defeat, the morale was not high, on the contrary, the morale in Pingxing City was high, and Peng Tuo was afraid that it would be difficult to make achievements for a while. So Chen Lin thought of it, and immediately ordered, the whole army did not rest, and transferred to Shangcai County, Wang Ding's hundreds of prisoners have been forcibly conscripted into the army, divided into three parts, respectively into Gao Shun, Chen Guo, and Chen Lin's own foot soldiers, to fill the vacancy of the war dead.

The two thousand military horses then turned to the northwest and marched towards Shangcai, Chen Lin knew that the Yellow Turban commander of Shangcai was the scheming Huang Shao, so he did not dare to be careless, and sent scouts again and again. Suddenly, the front reported that a team of five scouts had encountered the Yellow Turban scouts, and only one person was captured and one escaped. Chen Lin hurriedly wanted to escort the person up, Chen Lin personally interrogated, after a trick, Chen Lin knew that sure enough, Shangcai's Huang Shao Department was not so many, more than 30,000, in addition to Huang Shao, there was another general, but it was a quite brave general, called Liu Pi. I also learned that the He character banner under Pingxing City was the brothers He Man and He Yi, and they were also brave people.

escaped and rode back, which means that Huang Shao at this time already knew that he was coming, at most he didn't know how many came. Chen Lin had never fought head-on with the Yellow Turbans, and this time Chen Lin decided to march openly and wait for Huang Shao's interception. Sure enough, Huang Shao also found out the appearance of Chen Lin's march, and simply didn't use any tricks, he wanted to confront Chen Lin head-on, find out Chen Lin's speed, calculate the time, and list thousands of soldiers and horses five miles away from Shangcai, waiting for Chen Lin.

The scouts reported again and again, and everyone didn't know what Chen Lin had in mind, Chen Lin was doing mental calculations. ** Qian stopped himself, that is, there were still four or five thousand surrounded by each gate of Shangcai at this time, presumably Huang Shao would not draw soldiers and horses from the four gates again. Chen Lin made up his mind to fight hard and fight with the Yellow Turban, and saw everyone's puzzled eyes, so Chen Lin said: "I want to fight Huang Shao head-on, the Yellow Turban Thief is getting stronger and stronger, I can't afford to wait for it, and the big man can't afford to drag it." "Chen Lin wants to quickly end the battle of Shangcai, so that Zhao Qian can draw his troops, turn around to deal with Peng Tuo, and if possible, clear the Runan Yellow Turban as soon as possible, or go to Nanyang or Yingchuan. The longer the Yellow Turban thieves dragged on, the more the vitality of the Han Dynasty was injured, and the more dangerous the border areas of the Han Dynasty became.

Chen Lin ordered again, changing his gentle face from the past, but being very serious: "In this battle, the infantry came first, crushing the enemy, and the cavalry took advantage of the chaos to rush and kill. All foot soldiers are commanded by Gao Shun, no one shall have objections, Chen Guo and the third brother Ru are the deputy generals to assist Gao Shun, if anyone is slack, they will not be spared. "Chen Lin is the first time to give such a serious order, slightly majestic, everyone does not dare to disobey and question, only promise. Chen Lin took Gao Shun as the leader, because Chen Lin found that Gao Shun really had a set, and every time he finished a battle, Gao Shun was always the one with the smallest casualties. And Chen Guo was assisted by Chen Guo, considering that Chen Guo's subordinates might not be willing to accept Gao Shun's sole leadership, so Chen Guo was allowed to be the auxiliary. Although Chen Zhi was young, Chen Lin found that Chen Zhi was also quite narrated in leading the troops, and wanted him to learn from Gao Shun.

Two thousand against eight thousand, Chen Lin let Gao Shun take one thousand steps first, which made Huang Shao on the opposite side puzzled, and he was very puzzled, what kind of formation Chen Lin was posing. Chen Lin also saw Huang Shao, and saw that Huang Shao had already lined up and waited for him, with a smile on his face, he ordered the cavalry to stop a mile away, and the foot soldiers lined up and set up an arrow away. Chen Lin and Huang Yan Zhou Cang stepped forward, bowed to Huang Shao, and grinned: "I didn't expect the two of us to meet again so soon." Huang Shao was not rude, and he responded slightly, but he saw a person standing behind Huang Shao, strong and tall, raising a knife and shouting at Chen Lin: "Gong Du died in your hands, and a certain Liu Pi came to receive the teaching." ”

When Zhou Cang heard Gong Du, he suddenly looked up at Chen Lin, his eyes full of fighting intent. Over there, Huang Shao shouted anxiously: "Liu Pi came back, and you can be guilty of going to war without authorization?" His face was full of anxiety, but he had seen how Gong Du was hacked to death in one round, Liu Bi and Gong were average, how could they please him. Chen Lin knew at a glance that Liu Bi didn't know Zhou Cang's bravery, Chen Lin and Zhou Cang hadn't moved yet, and suddenly Huang Yan next to Chen Lin was standing still and immediately drew an arrow and pulled the bow, with a loud sound, a flash of fire flew out, and rushed towards Liu Pi, as fast as lightning and gliding into the air.

Liu Bi only felt that a deadly silk thread was flying, and hurriedly flattened the knife in front of his chest, but unexpectedly, an arrow flew straight into his face, and hit the bridge of his nose with a poof. Liu Pi didn't have time to scream, so he fell to the ground and kicked his legs a few times, and he lost his breath. Everyone on both sides looked at Liu Bi on the ground in shock, and then looked at Huang Yan, Liu Bi was dead and nothing to look at, only to see Huang Yan with a calm face, and slowly wanted to shoot Huang Shao with an arrow. was so frightened that Huang Shao didn't care about looking at Liu Bi, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse and hid in the crowd.

When Chen Lin saw that Huang Yan actually attacked and assassinated Liu Pi, he shouted to Huang Yan and Zhou Cang: "Withdraw, run." Chen Lin knew that Huang Shao must be annoyed at this time, and Chen Lin couldn't cry or laugh, but he was afraid that no one would dare to talk to Chen Lin within a stone's throw when he fought against others in the future. Chen Lin and the three of them hurriedly beat their horses and ran back, and Huang Shao really ordered to rush and kill. When Chen Lin ran past the foot soldiers, he shouted to Gao Shun: "Gao Shun, disperse the thieves." ”

Whether Gao Shun can defeat Huang Shao, Chen Lin doesn't dare to say, the 1,000 foot soldiers are generally surrendered by the Yellow Turban captives, I hope Gao Shun has subdued them in the past few days, Chen Lin returned to the cavalry team to look back, Gao Shun has begun to fight, Huang Shao has 2,000 people in the first department, thinking that Gao Shun is only a thousand people, even if the Yellow Turban is unbearable, it is always no problem for two to fight one person. Unexpectedly, as soon as they came into contact, whether it was Huang Shao, Chen Lin and others who were watching from a distance, they all looked at the battlefield in surprise. Gao Shun sent all the long weapons or guns or long knives at the front end, into four rows, only to see the Yellow Turban Army rushing over, the first row lifted the long weapon and stabbed it violently, then took a step back, and the second row was made up with another stab. Such a four-row long weapon foot soldier actually caused heavy casualties to the Yellow Turban Thief, Gao Shun was in the middle of the command, not at all like Zhang Ba and others who only cared about their own killing, Chen Lin was sure in his heart, even if he was defeated, it was not Gao Shun's fault, but Chen Lin saw Gao Shun's ability, and made up his mind that Gao Shun would lead a foot soldier alone in the future.

Huang Shao also saw the subtlety at a glance, and already knew that the two thousand were probably not Gao Shun's opponents, Huang Shao did not drag on at all, and did not wait for the two thousand people to lose, and immediately put the two thousand people up. Huang Shao could see clearly that Chen Lin's 1,000 cavalry army was waiting in the distance, and only by defeating Gao Shun at a fast speed and forming a new formation could he resist Chen Lin's cavalry, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Two thousand people joined, Gao Shun's pressure doubled, and he shouted to Chen Guo: "Chen Guo, step forward with a certain person, kill the thief, and the second general will be in the middle." After speaking, he drew his knife and personally came to the front with Chen, and everyone was greatly encouraged to see Gao Shun personally kill the enemy, and for a time they actually knocked 4,000 people back again and again. Seeing this, Chen Zhi shouted: "General Gao is mighty, and the enemy army is defeated." The army shouted in unison: "General Gao is mighty, the enemy is defeated"

As soon as these words were shouted, the four thousand Yellow Turban thieves really rushed and retreated, Huang Shao was behind, and hurriedly supervised the battle, but those who retreated were immediately killed on the ground. and halted the retreat of the great army. It's just that Huang Shao also shouted in his heart, why are the thousands of people in front of him so strong, and they are not all strong in the eyes, but they are just a little more orderly, why are they so strong. The mood of war is always easy to contagious, one person is brave, three armies are brave, one person retreats, and three armies retreat, so there are Gao Shun's 1,000 people who repelled 4,000 people one after another. And when the infantry regiment fights, it must maintain the array, and it must not fall to the ground, otherwise it will only be trampled to death, which is why once the three armies are in chaos, a group of red-eyed people will collide everywhere, and there will be more casualties in the trampling than the killed.

Chen Lin saw that Gao Shun had built such a situation, and the situation was very good, and he also wanted to cheer for Gao Shun in his heart, so he raised his sword forward, slowly urged the war horse, and stepped forward lightly, and the thousand cavalry behind him also advanced slowly, silently, and did not run fast, but moved forward slowly. As soon as Chen Lin moved, the Yellow Turban Army found out that it was already a difficult battle, and when he saw that thousands of cavalry were about to rush again, he was even more panicked, which would not stop the Yellow Turban Army's retreat no matter how Huang Shao restrained it. The retreating yellow scarf has the meaning of crashing into Huang Shao's 4,000 rear army, Gao Shun looked at it and shouted to attack, just let the thieves crush themselves, Huang Shao no longer had hope that the 4,000 people would not retreat, but shouted desperately: "Go from both sides, don't impact the headquarters." Although Huang Shao tried his best to maintain it, the retreating yellow scarves still had to crash into Huang Shao's rear army. Huang Shao gritted his teeth and ordered the 4,000 rear army in a loud voice: "But there are those who face our army, kill." "He even killed his own people who rushed over. This order is also appropriate, but the companions of the Yellow Turban who returned later before meeting him also wanted to kill themselves, and they resisted when they raised their heads, while Gao Shun was in the back, and it was chaotic, and Huang Shao's 4,000 rear army was also chaotic.

Chen Lin looked at it, smiled on his lips, won, this battle was won, Gao Shun lived up to his trust. Chen Lin shouted loudly: "Cavalry, go around Gao Shun at full speed and kill." ”
