Chapter 265: A Sudden Bloody Battle

The 10,000 soldiers led by Zhao Laibao basically did not rest well, and after arriving in Yuezhou, in less than a day, they accepted the combat mission of going to Yueping County to set up an ambush, of course, this task was mainly just in case, in fact, he also thought that Huang Chao would retreat in the direction of Yugan.

However, after accepting the mission, there could not be the slightest negligence, so 10,000 soldiers set off that night, the first team to set off, Yuezhou was far away from Yueping, and they had to detour from the direction of Xinchang in Raozhou to Yueping County.

The army took a rapid march and finally arrived at Yueping County in five days.

Zhao Laibao ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot and sent scouts to investigate.

In the middle of the night, the scouts suddenly came to report, and Huang Chao's army withdrew in the direction of Yue Ping.

This news shocked Zhao Laibao, and he never imagined that Gao Chibang's arrangement would deviate.

Zhao Laibao has been in charge of logistics supply for a long time, and rarely fights on the battlefield, so when Gao Chibang arranges combat missions, he also arranges the easiest part for him.

Without hesitation, Zhao Laibao reflexively began to make deployments.

This is his chance to prove himself, he is the first person to follow Li Rupei, but because of his own ability, or knowledge, he has never had the opportunity to lead the army to fight independently, Zhao Laibao did not complain, he knew his background very well, and he was very satisfied to be able to become a general of the Iron Army.

This time the opportunity came, and Zhao Laibao would definitely not miss it.

He personally led 6,000 soldiers to fight against the vanguard of Huangchao, and the remaining 4,000 people served as a reserve to resist the attack of Huangchao's army at a critical moment.

All the officers were summoned to Zhao Laibao's side.

Zhao Laibao's expression was serious.

"Brothers, I don't want to say much about the situation we are facing, whether the Iron Blood Army will be able to defeat Huang Chao completely. It depends on your performance, what I have to tell you is that Huang Chao, known as the 100,000 army, has withdrawn in the direction of Yue Ping, and it is the 10,000 brothers led by the high school guards who are chasing Huang Chao, and the 10,000 brothers led by General Huang are still in ambush in Yugan, and it will take at least a day for these two armies to rush to Yue Ping, that is. The 10,000 brothers had to resist the Yellow Nest army for a day, and during this time, no one was allowed to retreat, even if they fought to the last man. ”

On the sixth day of the first month of the second year of Zhonghe, two o'clock.

The 6,000 soldiers led by Zhao Laibao and the vanguard of Huangchao fought in close contact on the official road.

It was a fight that neither side expected.

The vanguard of the Yellow Nest numbered 20,000 men, and they were responsible for scouting the way ahead. The Chinese army of 70,000 led by Huang Chao himself marched at a slower pace, and the two armies gathered for thirty miles, but the sergeants under Huang Chao's command. Most of them were infantry, and although there was constant contact between the vanguard and the Chinese army, the speed of the rush could not be very fast.

Zhao Laibao also knew about this situation, so he decisively decided to attack. In the shortest possible time, defeat the vanguard of Huangchao and form a situation of confrontation with Huangchao's Chinese army. Buy time for Gao Chibang and Huang Biao.

The brutal battle unfolded in an instant.

Among the vanguard of Huangchao, there was a group of sergeants who were the first to fight with them, although the number was not very large, but these people were the core of the vanguard force.

When suddenly encountering an attack, the commander of the vanguard team quickly dispatched sergeants to report the news to the Chinese army behind, and at the same time organized the sergeants to start resisting.

Facing the vast majority of infantry battles, the advantage is needless to say, not to mention the iron-blooded army, even Huang Chao is very afraid, let alone ordinary sergeants.

At the beginning of the battle, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army had a great advantage, 6,000 people rushed to kill among more than 20,000 people, coming and going freely, on the other hand, the vanguard of Huangchao, several rounds of charging and fighting, collapsed, and soon fled to the rear.

Zhao Laibao will not give his opponent a chance to escape, he needs to kill as many enemies as possible, so as to be able to fight for a more favorable situation for the subsequent confrontation.

The 6,000 soldiers began to divide into countless small teams and continued to fight among the large army.

The commander of the vanguard team found that the situation was not right, and immediately began to organize a retreat, at this time, the officers and sergeants who followed Huang Chao in the early years became the backbone, they organized a part of the sergeants to resist desperately, and more sergeants began to retreat to the back, but unfortunately their arrangement was seen through by Zhao Laibao, and five hundred special forces quickly attacked, specifically targeting these officers.

The camp organized by the commander was quickly dispersed.

Half an hour later, the 20,000 vanguard troops were completely dispersed, and began to flee for their lives, no one obeyed the command, the commander looked up to the sky and sighed, turned his horse's head and prepared to evacuate.

When several special forces appeared around, the commander instinctively felt bad, and he, under the escort of his own soldiers, galloped wildly and retreated towards the rear, and a rattling arrow shot into his shoulder, the commander shook and fell off his horse with a painful smile on his face......

Huang Chao's face changed when he learned that the vanguard had been ambushed.

At this time, many strategists suggested that the army turn around and withdraw in the direction of Yugan, after a little thought, Huang Chao made a decision, and the army continued to advance in the direction of Yueping, in the dark, Huang Chao felt that the heavy troops of the Iron Blood Army should be ambushed in the direction of Yu Gan, as for the Iron Blood Army in the direction of Yueping County, the number should not be too much, and the army can seize this opportunity to wait for the opportunity to defeat the Iron Blood Army ambushed in Yueping County, and then retreat in the direction of Xinchang.

As long as the army moves quickly, the iron-blooded army ambushed in Yugan will not have time to rush to help, and the iron-blooded army in Taizhou will also have no time to reinforce.

Time is of the essence.

Huang Chao gave the order to fight, and the 50,000 Chinese army marched in the direction of Yueping County, and the iron-blooded army must be defeated.

This time, Huang Chao personally led the army to attack, and the remaining 20,000 troops guarded the grain and grass behind.

It's dawn.

The battle was not completely over, the scouts came to report, there was a large army behind to reinforce, it was impossible to see how many people there were, but at least more than 30,000 people, and the flag in front was a handsome flag.

Zhao Laibao calmly wiped off the blood stains on his body and smiled on his face.

Some of the officers had already gathered around him.

"Order all the brothers, make all the preparations, it seems that this time Huang Chao personally led the army to come, they thought that they could break through from Yueping County, if a certain prediction was good, Huang Chao expected that there were heavy troops in Yugan's ambush, and he could only evacuate from the direction of Yueping County, hmph, Huang Chao was too self-conscious, and he actually wanted to defeat the Iron Army."

Zhao Laibao looked at the officer beside him again.

"Remember what a certain said, even if he fights to the last person, he can't retreat, and he doesn't allow Huang Chao to break through from the direction of Yueping County, if Huang Chao breaks through, you and a certain person will have no shame to go to see the prince."

"The captives that have just been captured, all of them have been released, not one is left, a certain knows what you think, it is recommended that a certain kill these prisoners, a certain will not do this, they have already laid down their weapons, the Iron and Blood Army cannot kill the prisoners, this is a military rule, if they dare to pick up a knife and gun again, then there will be no forgiveness."

"Huang Chao is violent, the origin is not small, the deployment of a certain must also be adjusted, we must withstand the first round of attack of Huang Chao, leaving two thousand brothers as reserves, the rest of the brothers all go into battle to fight, the brothers who have just been seriously injured in the battle retreat to the back, everything that can move, simply bandage the wounds, and all get on the horse to fight......"

Huang Chao gasped when he saw the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army in front of the official road, the momentum of the Iron Blood Army was too terrifying, and there was already a fear in his heart, 20,000 vanguard troops, more than 7,000 people who really retreated, needless to say, the rest of the people must have been killed by the Iron Blood Army, how long has it been.

At this moment, Huang Chao began to doubt his judgment, could it be that the Iron Blood Army had laid down heavy troops in Yue Ping, if that was really the case, then this place was very likely to become his grave.

At this time, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front, it will have to break through, there is no way out of retreat, the iron-blooded army pursuing in the rear will not be too far away, and retreating in the direction of Yugan is even more of a joke, maybe in the process of retreating, the army will be completely defeated by the pursuing iron-blooded army.

After years of crusade, Huang Chao soon discovered that there were not many soldiers of the Iron Blood Army in front.

This is the power forged by blood and fire.

After forcibly calming himself down, Huang Chao's face showed a cold smile, he believed that his judgment was not wrong, the number of soldiers of the Iron Blood Army who had set up an ambush in Yueping County was not large, as long as the army could open a gap from here, it would be able to get through this biggest difficulty, if it was dragged here by the Iron Blood Army, it would not be able to get rid of it, and the outcome could be imagined.

The attack began, and Huang Chao sent 30,000 men to charge in one go.

Although there are not many war horses, the momentum of the 30,000-person charging formation is still terrifying.

Rounds of arrow rain appeared, which made Huang Chao's eyes dripping blood, his sergeant was not so well equipped, seeing the sergeant who charged in front screaming and falling, but there was nothing to do, Huang Chao only hoped that these sergeants would desperately charge ahead, as long as they could fight with the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army, the remaining 20,000 troops would take advantage of the situation to rush up and crush the Iron Blood Army in one go.

It's a pity that Huang Chao is too wishful thinking.

The dense rain of arrows made the sergeant in front retreat, and everyone would be afraid of seeing him die, the sergeant in front was slow, and the sergeant in the back was still rushing forward, and the two streams of people were crowded together, and the formation of the charge was suddenly a little chaotic.

It was at this time that the iron-blooded soldiers led by Zhao Laibao launched a charge.

Screams instantly appeared, and the bloody slaughter began...... (To be continued......)
