Chapter 21: Ambush Huang Zhong

Ma Yue and more than 1,000 remnants of the Yellow Turban originally wanted to avoid the official army camp, but the officers and soldiers in the battalion reacted quickly, completed the assembly in a very short time, and rushed out of the camp to intercept with a shout.

In the thin morning light, the two armies collided together and fought a melee, due to the haste of the incident, the officers and soldiers were not well prepared, and they were soon broken through the defense line by the Yellow Turban thieves. After breaking through the defensive line, the Yellow Turban thieves did not do much entanglement, and quickly got rid of the official army and fled northward, only for a moment, and the officers and soldiers who were stunned in place and did not dare to pursue could only see their backs from a distance.

Although this group of yellow turbans is a remnant of the defeated soldiers, they are all strong men who crawled out of the pile of dead people, if they did not have extraordinary physique and foot strength, it would be impossible to follow Guan Hai to kill through the siege, and escape all the way from Wancheng to Jingshan. This will be to follow Ma Yue to beg for a living, thinking about wine, food, and beautiful women in his mind, and naturally he exerted twelve points of strength, and all of them escaped faster than rabbits.

Speaking of it, Qin Jie was careless, this guy was overconfident, and he was sure that the remnants of the Yellow Turban would not dare to go down the mountain at night to break through, so he summoned the generals of all the volunteers to the camp to discuss matters. Due to the lack of a commander, the volunteers in the northern foot did not dare to act rashly, and could only watch the Yellow Turban thieves disappear.

When Huang Zhong hurried back to the barracks, the Yellow Turban Thief was already ten miles away, Huang Zhong hurriedly ordered the soldiers to chase after him, and hurriedly reported to Qin Jie. After receiving Huang Zhong's report, Qin Jie was still skeptical, not believing that the Yellow Turban Thief would be reborn overnight and become so powerful!

Qin Jie first summoned Wen Ping on Kun Mountain, Wen Ping climbed up Jingshan to take a look, only to see a large number of straw men around the fire to keep warm, and couldn't help but scold angrily.

……

Besides, Ma Yue ran north with the remnants of the army for less than 20 miles, and then went to Laohegou, at this time there were more than 800 people left behind him, and more than 200 people were lost in a melee just now.

Pei Yuanshao, who had become a frightened bird, hurriedly caught up and grabbed Ma Yue, and said loudly: "Boqi, don't go further north, to the north is Wancheng, where there are Zhu Jun's army and Han Zhong's rebel army of dog thieves, and it can only be a dead end." ”

Guan Hai also said in a deep voice: "Yes, there is the old river ditch in front, maybe there is an ambush for the officers and soldiers." ”

A sly smile appeared on Ma Yue's face and asked, "Do you all think that going north is a dead end?" ”

"Hmm."

Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao nodded at the same time.

"That's right!" Ma Yue clasped his palms together and said hehe, "I expect the officials and soldiers to think the same, this is a good time for us to jump out of the encirclement and get rid of the officials and troops." ”

"Guan Hai."

"Yes."

"I ordered you to lead 300 people to ambush on the left side of the old river ditch, and when the official army attacked, I saw my gesture as a signal and led the army to cover up and kill."

"Pei Yuanshao."

"Yes."

"Order you to lead 300 people to ambush on the right side of the old river ditch, and when the official army is coming, look at my gesture as a signal, and lead the army to cover the killing."

"The rest of the people, wait for me, rest in place outside the old ditch."

Although Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao didn't understand Ma Yue's intention to make such an arrangement, they still ordered Qi soldiers to ambush each other, and Ma Yue asked the remaining more than 100 people to sit down and rest at the mouth of the old river ditch, waiting for the arrival of the official army.

It's another gamble!

If the officers and soldiers are cautious enough to gather all the troops first and then pursue them north, then Ma Yue's two-way ambush arrangement will be useless, and in the face of superior troops, superior equipment, and well-trained officers and soldiers, the remnants of the Yellow Turban will only end up with eggs hitting stones and bleeding heads.

Ma Yue bet that the official army underestimated the enemy!

The Yellow Turban Thieves' consistently bad performance can easily cause the arrogance of the officers and soldiers, and in addition, they were ambushed by the officers and soldiers several times last night, and they were beaten in embarrassment, and the arrogance of the officers and soldiers can only be even worse.

Although he fled in a hurry just now, Ma Yue still estimated the officers and troops guarding the northern foothills, there were only about 500 people, if the officers and troops in the northern foothills did not wait for the officers and troops in the other three directions to converge and chase alone, then Ma Yue would have a great chance to break through the officers and troops on this road first, and then calmly escape, and then jump out of the encirclement and interception of the officers and troops.

Time passed minute by minute, although in front of the soldiers, Ma Yue had a calm face, but in fact he was so nervous, facing a life and death decision, no one could be indifferent. Ma Yue is not a god or a demon, just a little person who begs for life in troubled times.

Finally, it's time to come.

When the cluster of officers and soldiers on the southern horizon suddenly appeared, a boulder in Ma Yue's heart finally landed, and he was right again! Now that the emperor Lao'er in Luoyang City is here, he can't keep this remnant of the Yellow Turban with less than 1,000 people.

……

Huang Zhong rushed to the front first, because of the forced march, his 500 volunteers had been pulled into a long snake formation, the fastest one could barely follow Huang Zhong's horse butt to eat ashes, but the slow one had already fallen several miles away, but Huang Zhong was still urging the soldiers to speed up the pace of pursuit.

Huang Zhong was anxious.

The first time he fought under the command of Lord Qin, he didn't make an inch, but he actually let the Yellow Turban Thief escape from the northern foot he guarded, how could Huang Zhong, who had always been arrogant, accept it?

"Hurry, hurry!"

Huang Zhong's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he turned around and kept greeting the soldiers, and one of the soldiers suddenly pointed to the front and shouted: "General, look, Yellow Turban thieves." ”

Huang Zhong Huo Ran turned around, the thin morning light had dispersed, and sure enough, he saw that in front of the old river ditch that had been ambushed last night, there was a team of yellow turban thieves of about 100 people who were lying or sitting there to rest, and the yellow turban thieves also discovered the official army at the same time, jumping up from the ground like frightened rabbits, and fleeing towards the depths of the old river ditch like a swarm.

Huang Zhong's spirits perked up, and he thought that this should be a small group of yellow turban thieves who had fallen behind, and the brigade of yellow turban thieves was not far ahead.

Huang Zhong, who was eager for meritorious service, did not take this small group of yellow turbans of more than 100 people in his eyes, and without waiting for the soldiers of the brigade behind to arrive, he rushed into the old river ditch with more than 100 people in front of him, vowing to destroy this small group of yellow turban thieves first. To say that Huang Zhong is familiar with military books and proficient in the art of war, he should not have made the low-level mistake of underestimating the enemy, but he was helplessly accurately corrected by Ma Yue.

Underestimate the enemy! From the bottom of his heart, Huang Zhong has never looked at the Yellow Turban Thief in his eyes, but he is just a rabble, and he is not vulnerable at all, and the battle of Laohegou last night deepened this impression.

In the depths of the old river ditch, a small strand of yellow scarves of more than 100 people has been forced into a desperate situation.

Behind is the pursuers, in front of a large piece of silt, there is no escape, the small group of yellow turbans gave up the escape, turned around with the river beach on their backs, and rarely wanted to fight with the officers and soldiers to break the net, Huang Zhong shouted, urged the horse to gallop forward, and danced the knife to take the yellow turban thief who stood in the front.

In front of the Yellow Turban Formation, Ma Yue raised his right arm, his cold eyes locked on Huang Zhong, and then waved his right arm fiercely.

"Whew!"

In the sharp sound of breaking the air, the cold killing machine struck from the left side, Huang Zhong was taken aback and quickly dodged, he could avoid the throat point, but he could no longer avoid the shoulder.

"Tuk."

With a muffled sound, the sharp arrow had already pierced through the chest armor and pierced into Huang Zhong's right shoulder.

"Ouch!"

Huang Zhong screamed, almost fell off the horse's back, it was really a perennial goose but was pecked blind by the geese, Huang Zhong was a master of arrows, but he didn't want to be conspired by someone else's bow and arrow today!

"Kill~~"

More than 100 yellow turban thieves in a desperate situation took the lead in rushing over.

"Kill~~"

"Kill~~"

The overwhelming shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the left and right sides of the old river ditch, and countless yellow turban thieves suddenly appeared ghostly from the waist-deep artemisia grass, and the tide came towards the more than 100 officers and soldiers in the middle.

"It's not good, it's in an ambush!" Huang Zhong was frightened, turned the horse's head and left, "Withdraw, withdraw quickly!" ”

The main general left, and the volunteers who had already been cold and courageous also lost the will to resist in an instant, and ran towards the way they came, and the volunteers who followed up did not understand what was going on, so they were disrupted, and when they saw clearly the yellow turban thieves who were covering up and killing like a tide behind them, they didn't know how many people and horses there were in the panic, so they quickly turned around and fled.

The defeat was like a mountain, Huang Zhong set up an ambush in Laohegou last night to attack the Yellow Turban, but now he was ambushed by the Yellow Turban in turn! It can be said that the world is impermanent and unpredictable.

"Hahaha, kill!"

Guan Hai roared, and slashed over a slow-running officer and soldier, feeling indescribably happy in his heart, he had never been chased around by the officers and soldiers like dogs, and he really didn't expect that the officers and soldiers would have today, and there would be times when they were chased around by yellow scarves like dogs, happy, really happy!

Yang Tian laughed three times, Guan Hai Wudao was about to chase again, but was pulled by Ma Yue.

"Okay, don't chase it, gather the soldiers immediately, and turn in immediately."

"Why?"

Guan Hai was stunned, and Pei Yuanshao on the side also didn't understand, now is a good time to beat the water dog.

"The pursuing officer and army brigade is coming in an instant, and the Wancheng Zhu Jun army may also go south at any time, if you don't leave at this time, you will die and have no place to be buried!"
