Chen Nuo struck with a broken cauldron and sunk the boat, first rushing the camp with a herd of fire cattle, and then asked Zhao Xue to lead the brave men to each hand with a big sword and heavy armor to follow the herd into the enemy formation to fight, and then sent Pan Zhang to follow the attack with three hundred horsemen, giving the enemy one blow after another.

But these are far from enough, there are too many enemies, even if their front army camp is disrupted, there are countless moth and thief camps behind. What's more, this is only the yellow scarf outside the east gate, and the other three doors also have yellow scarves.

There are the most yellow scarves stationed outside the east gate, so this nail must be pulled out before it can deter others. Only this group of yellow scarves dispersed first, and the rest of the yellow scarves are not to be feared.

Chen Nuo personally beat the drums and cheered for the soldiers.

The sound of the drum came repeatedly, which shocked the heart of the Yellow Turban and boosted the courage of his soldiers.

Outside the east gate, the firelight company camped, shouting to kill the sky, which is indeed majestic enough.

You must know that although he commanded the Battle of Yangcheng and the Battle of Yuyuan Pass, none of them can be compared with the current situation. At that time, in the battle outside Yangcheng, he ambushed Gongsun Yue's Youzhou Iron Cavalry with the help of Zhou Ang's troops, and the battle of entering the city was to take advantage of the merger between Sun Jian and Hu Zhenhuo, and the fishermen took advantage; As for the battle of Yuyuan Pass, not to mention, it was the city gate that was opened by deception with the help of the power of Hu Zhen's troops.

These, of course, are not enough to compare with this battle.

In this battle, there were 30,000 people in the yellow turbans outside the east gate, and he poured out the strength of the whole city, but only 2,000 people. And these 2,000 men and horses, in fact, as long as more than 1,000 are accustomed to war, and the rest of them have to temporarily recruit strong men in the city because of the city war, which is not considered to be an official army, at most can only serve as volunteers.

In other words, there are more than 30,000 thieves, and there are only 2,000 people on his side, and these horses can't all be taken out, at least some have to be left to defend the city, and there are only more than 1,000 people who can really enter the battlefield.

With a mere 1,000 people fighting against 30,000 yellow scarves, you can imagine how much pressure there is.

It was the first major battle he had ever commanded in his life, with fewer enemies and more enemies, and the difference was so great. This battle is like a big gamble, if the bet is completed, it can reverse the trend from now on; And if it is defeated......

No defeat!

Therefore, this battle can only be won by victory, not defeated!

Knock knock, drums don't stop, urging people to fight.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, Dian Wei rushed forward and arched his hand to Chen Nuo: "Lord, everything is ready, when will we kill it?" ”

Chen Nuo was still beating with a drumstick in his hand, and as soon as he heard Dian Wei say, he said: "Don't worry, wait!" ”

"But ......"

Dian Wei looked at the battlefield in the distance, and listened to the sound of fighting on the battlefield, and his hands were itching: "But Zhao Xue and Pan Zhang's two generals brought out less than five or six hundred soldiers and horses, and now they are deep into the enemy's belly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on for a long time." ”

Chen Nuo threw the drumstick to the wrestler next to him, and instead held on to the female wall and carefully observed the battlefield.

Outside the east gate, the cold winter wind blew, and a fire spread all over the sky, and the company camp was dyed even redder. Zhao Xue's broadsword soldiers, who rushed into the enemy formation, held torches and lit fires back and forth; The cavalry, which roamed and collided outside, under the leadership of Pan Zhang, severed the connection between the battalions in order to create greater chaos; The herd of fire bulls was still galloping unscrupulously, and they had already collided in an unclear direction, plunging the Yellow Turban Army into even greater chaos and fear.

When Chen Nuo saw this, he said slowly: "The so-called death and resurrection, if all the armies rely on the city to send troops to respond, then who else will fight hard?" What's more, it's the state of affairs today. Now the two of them are still dealing with the yellow scarf outside the east gate, if the other three people come to answer, what will I do to fight at that time? ”

After killing for several hours, the men and horses sent out by Chen Nuo to investigate also returned.

The other three gates were also uneasy when they saw the flames outside the east gate, but they didn't dare to send troops to respond easily, just watched the movement. Chen Nuo also knew that the opportunity had come, and now there was no other Yellow Turban outside the East Gate to support, and he had become a tired army; Although Pan Zhang and Zhao Xue are still holding on, because of the long time of fighting, they can no longer pose a threat to the Yellow Turban, and the two sides have entered the stage of fatigue.

Now is the perfect time for him to play.

The east gate opened again, and Chen Nuo personally draped himself out, holding a spear in his hand, and behind him were hundreds of people including Dian Wei.

These hundreds of people can be said to be Chen Nuo's last capital, except for those who stayed in the city, he brought them all out.

In this battle, there is no way back!

Once the drawbridge was lowered, with a shout, Chen Nuo, Dian Wei and the others rushed to the battlefield like the wind. Whether it's the flames or the shouting and killing, they are all desperately killed. Chen Nuo pulled his horse, held a gun, and galloped in front; Dian Wei, on the other hand, followed closely like a crazy horse, without falling at all, and did not leave Chen Nuo for half a step.

The yellow scarves outside the east gate were actually in confusion as early as the moment the fire cow herd rushed in, and they didn't have time to resist at all. And the reason why they have been able to support until now is entirely because there are many people and they can't kill enough. And those Qu Shuai who want to save the decline even if they have the heart, but their hearts are in turmoil, and they can't stop it anymore, and seeing that they have become a failure, they can only flee for their lives.

The battlefield that was originally stalemate, because of Chen Nuo's killing, suddenly decided to win or lose.

Chen Nuo opened the way with a gun, and it was the Zhao family's marksmanship.

Speaking of which, the Zhao family's marksmanship in his hands now is much more refined and proficient than the one he played with Zhang Xiu outside the city of Jingxian when he fought against the enemy, and Zhao Xue has guided and corrected it from time to time in the past few days, and it has completely reached another realm. Now even Zhao Xue uses a gun, but he can't take advantage of Chen Nuo's hands in the slightest.

I don't know why, although Chen Nuo has made a lot of progress during this period of practice, there is no major breakthrough, and I feel that there is always a breath stuck somewhere and I can't come out. However, after a real battle tonight, the enthusiasm was urging people to forge ahead, and it also made him find a certain feeling at once, a gun in his hand was actually wielding freely and handy.

The main general is still so desperate, let alone the group of soldiers behind Chen Nuo. Under the leadership of Chen Nuo, they rushed left and right, killing the Yellow Turban Army in all directions, without the power to resist.

And Dian Wei, who was close to Chen Nuo, had killed the enemy with his bare hands before, but there were too many enemies, so he pulled out his halberd and swayed out like thunder, and immediately killed and wounded.

This battle lasted until dawn, and by the middle of the day, the Yellow Turban thieves outside the eastern city were basically subdued.

or be killed, or surrender, or flee.

And the yellow scarves of the other doors finally collapsed after a night of worry.

They used false rumors to think that the reason why the Yellow Turban in Dongcheng was defeated was not only the courage of the officials and soldiers, but also the help of the 'divine beast', which was even more incredible. Originally, the theory of ghosts and gods was very popular at that time, and when you heard these nonsense words, you didn't dare to disrespect the gods, and it was not strange to go away without a fight. And they don't know that this so-called 'divine beast' is just an ordinary herd of cattle.

In this battle, countless vehicles, equipment, armor, weapons, grain and grass were captured, and the number of Yellow Turban soldiers was captured as many as seven or eight thousand.

Chen Nuo roughly counted that although these grains and grass were less than half a month for tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, they were a lot of money for them, enough to provide the whole army with a year's worth of food. Not counting these, weapons, armor and the like alone can equip thousands of soldiers, and as for the rest, they are even more full of warehouses.

Now, he not only fulfilled his previous promise and returned grain and grass to the people, but also enriched his own armament.

However, Chen Nuo's biggest headache now is this group of yellow scarves.

There are all women, children, and women in this group of yellow turbans, but in fact, there are only more than 2,000 people who can really fight. Chen Nuo carefully selected these two thousand people, and finally got seven or eight hundred people, which were officially included in his team. Originally, there were more than 1,000 soldiers in his team, and with the 1,000 volunteers temporarily summoned by Xiu County, it had reached more than 2,000 people. But after these days of great war, the number was reduced to fifteen or six hundred. However, with the addition of these seven or eight hundred, it will be two thousand, three or four hundred.

Of course, if you take away the six or seven hundred volunteers, there are still six or seven hundred.

In the Han system, Sima led no more than 1,000 soldiers, and with Chen Nuo's current number, it completely exceeded this standard.

If Chen Nuo wants to give up these hard-won achievements easily, he will never be able to, so there is only one point, report to Yuan Shao, put the facts in front of Yuan Shao, and see what Yuan Shao says? This Yuan Shao refused to send troops to rescue him when Xiuxian was besieged, and he also intended to dissociate himself from Chen Nuo, according to Chen Nuo Now that Chen Nuo has won a big victory, don't care what Yuan Shao doesn't Yuan Shao do, since he doesn't save him when he sees death, why do you share it with him if he has benefits? When the subordinates heard that Chen Nuo wanted to report the results of Xiuxian, some of them still didn't understand, and they were afraid that Yuan Shao would get in the way again. But this time Chen Nuo has the pulse of Yuan Shao, and this time Yuan Shao will not be as confused as before.

Sure enough, once Chen Nuo reported the results of Xiuxian to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was bittersweet, and immediately convened all the civil and military forces to discuss the matter.

As a result of the discussion, not only did he give Chen Nuo the seal of the Xiuxian County Order that had been recovered before, but also gave Chen Nuo a lot of cheapness.

Although Chen Nuo is still the Sima of other departments, Yuan Shao specially emphasized that Chen Nuo's Sima of other departments is still different from other Simas, and the difference is in leading troops.

There are also other divisions, rank captains, but it is lower than the battalion level, but it is higher than the ministerial level, so there will be some leeway in the number of leading troops, and there are not too many restrictions.

Although this privilege sounds a bit nondescript, it is a good idea that he can have more power to govern and dominate the army and horses, and it will not cause criticism.

Of course, the reason why Yuan Shao did this, Chen Nuo can actually guess one or two.

He did so out of necessity.

Originally, in the matter of repairing the county, Yuan Shao did not send a single soldier and lost first. He also prepared for the worst, even if he lost the lives of Chen Nuo and others, he didn't want to interfere too early. After all, he still understands the truth of moving the whole body with one hair, he sent troops to be small, if he attracted the attention of Gongsun Zhan, abandoned the yellow scarf and turned to kill him, wouldn't that lead to a fire?

Originally, he thought that Xiuxian was small, and Chen Nuo's subordinates were also very limited, and he was afraid that Chen Nuo would not be able to resist for a long time, so he had decided to completely abandon him.

But where did he think that now Chen Nuo not only kept Xiuxian and repelled the Yellow Turban, but also grew stronger all of a sudden.

Now that the situation has changed, his coping strategy will naturally change with it.

With the victory of Chen Nuoxiu County, it is no longer whether Yuan Shao uses him or not, but how he should use him. People like Chen Nuo did not hold a grudge against him because of his previous confusion, but reported to him all the results of Xiuxian's battle, which completely shows that Chen Nuo still looks forward to him Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shao, what else can he say at this moment, if he doesn't recognize Chen Nuo, then if Chen Nuo, a small force, becomes self-reliant or turns to Gongsun Zan because of this, it is not impossible.

When Gongsun Chan was not eradicated and Hebei was not pacified, Yuan Shao certainly didn't want to set up too many enemies, and he didn't want to see these. What's more, judging from Chen Nuo's performance, not only was he not complacent because of the battle in Xiuxian, but he was still able to be humble and polite, and he did not forget his 'boss', so all this is easy to say.

Of course, Chen Nuo reported the results of the battle to Yuan Shao and asked Yuan Shao to deal with it, but in fact, everyone tacitly understood that what he did was just a superficial article.

The 'results' were in Chen Nuo's hands, and he couldn't interfere at all in what he wanted to do with Yuan Shao, and he couldn't even see it, let alone deal with it. Chen Nuo asked Yuan Shao to 'deal with it', and Yuan Shao pushed the boat down the river, handing over all the profits from this war to Chen Nuo, and let Chen Nuo claim it.

These are not enough, in order to win over Chen Nuo and make up for the mistakes he made before, he is also to add Chen Nuo's county order, and to find a basis for Chen Nuo to have more soldiers and horses.

Of course, Chen Nuo's other division Sima has been in office for less than a few months, and if he is promoted to lieutenant or lieutenant general now, it will be too fast, which will not only cause dissatisfaction among other generals, but also he himself is very unwilling to see. But where is Chen Nuo's credit, if he is given a county repair order, it will be too bad for him, and he is even more afraid of chilling Chen Nuo's heart. Yuan Shao thought about it, so he had to make crooked ideas and make a fuss about Sima in other departments, which Yuan Shao had to do.

But no matter what, now Chen Nuo not only has the right to manage the people, but also can justifiably expand the army and horses, which is much more convenient.

Since everything is left to Chen Nuo to handle, of course, it also includes the group of Yellow Turban Army captured by him.

Although Chen Nuo had selected six or seven hundred elite soldiers from this batch of Yellow Turban Army to be included in his own troops, it was only one-tenth of the Yellow Turbans captured, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army, he was not able to use it, and he was afraid of wasting grain and grass, so he naturally had some headaches.

As for how to deal with this batch of Yellow Turban Army, Chen Nuo was in a difficult position for a while.

If this group of Yellow Turbans is dispersed, I am afraid that they will have to join the other Yellow Turbans again, and maybe they will turn their heads against him; And if they are sent back to Qingzhou, it is simply unrealistic. Not to mention that his troops are limited and he can't divide his troops, even in today's winter, the road is not easy to walk.

Whether it is to stay or disperse, Chen Nuo finally understands why many generals in ancient times would not hesitate to kill those soldiers who surrendered after winning the battle.

Killing is ominous, Chen Nuo naturally can't do this.

It was also when Chen Nuo was in trouble, and Sun Qing's appearance suddenly relieved Chen Nuo's urgent need.

Sun Qing came this time, but for another purpose.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army went north to join the Black Mountain Army in Hebei, which is a thing that everyone knows today. There are many divisions of men and horses in Montenegro, each of them is called big and small, and they do not interfere with each other, but they are all from the Yellow Turban, and they are the same as the Yellow Turban Army. This time, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou went north to join the Montenegrin Army, but it was the intention of both of them to unite the forces of the two families to increase their momentum.

It's just that although the Yellow Turban went north smoothly, it unfortunately encountered Gongsun Zhan's army, and the two sides fought. As soon as this side was opened, those people and horses who were originally waiting for the rendezvous in Montenegro were also in a hurry after getting the news, and they sent people and horses to respond.

Sun Qing is now the little marshal of Zhang Yan's department, and he suddenly came here this time because he was ordered by the marshal Zhang Yan to come to meet the batch of yellow scarves in Qingzhou.

It's just that he came over this time, and first helped the Yellow Turban Army deal with Gongsun Zhan's men and horses in the Dongguang area, and after many days of fighting, they won and lost each other.

The great battle in the past few days also made Sun Qing see the power of the Youzhou cavalry under Gongsun Zhan, and even more so the incompetence of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, afraid that this battle may not have a good result in the end. He was worried about himself, and suddenly heard some gossip, saying that there was a Yuan Shao's men and horses not far from here, according to Shouxiu County, and now they were beaten by a large number of yellow scarves.

Sun Qing hadn't cared about it before, but when he heard that the guard of Xiuxian County was none other than Chen Nuo, who was kind to him, he immediately left Gongsun Zan and hurried to Chen Nuo's side, wanting to help Chen Nuo get out of trouble. After all, with his relationship with the Yellow Turbans, this matter is easy to do.

It's just that by the time he arrived, the siege of Xiuxian had been lifted, and Chen Nuo had already retreated tens of thousands of yellow scarves.

When Sun Qing entered the city and saw that Chen Nuo was unscathed, he was also relieved.

Chen Nuo stayed with Sun Qing in Xiu County for two days, and Sun Qing did not stay longer because he had a mission. However, when Chen Nuo was leaving, he handed over all the yellow scarves he had captured to him and let him take them away. In this way, it not only gave Sun Qing a face, but also took this rare opportunity to throw away this heavy burden.

As for those Qingzhou yellow scarves that he had compiled in advance, since Chen Nuo had swallowed them in his stomach, how could he easily spit them them out? Although Sun Qing knew, he just turned a blind eye.

However, speaking of which, Sun Qing originally came to save Chen Nuo this time, but he didn't expect to get Chen Nuo's benefits instead, so he was a little embarrassed.

Chen Nuo was simply patted on his shoulder and smiled: "Since you have said so, I am embarrassed to embarrass you." In this way, when I leave, I will trouble you to do something for me, and when this thing is done, everyone will be even, what do you think? ”

Not to mention exchanging the yellow scarf, as long as Chen Nuo has orders, Sun Qing still has no reason to listen? He immediately stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Big brother has something to say, please command!" ”
