Chapter 17: The First Battle
It is said that Zhang Yan originally had 13,000 people under his command, and Zhang Niujiao even sent 5,000 more people to him, so that the East Gate would have to withstand the attack of 18,000 people, what kind of situation is this?
I didn't want that Zhang Yan to be so arrogant, so he camped on the spot and cooked in a pot, the nearest place was only five miles away from Xuzhou City.
"This thief is so arrogant! The angry old man is also angry," Tao Qian said viciously with fire in his eyes. Du Chen was overjoyed in his heart, it was a good thing for the other party to underestimate the enemy, and it was a great good thing! You must know that the proud army will be defeated! Hmph, Zhang Yan, you have to play!
Although Zhang Yan was arrogant, he was not stupid, but he was very alert, and always left five thousand Yellow Turban troops to guard against the assault at the south gate of Xuzhou, and he didn't want to wait for a long time. Why do you need three? Why should I do it? ”
Seeing the smoke rising from the Yellow Turban camp not far away, Du Chen's soldiers were furious, especially Fang Yue, who repeatedly applied to fight, but Du Chen refused to allow it.
In the strange eyes of everyone, Tao Qian explained, "The thief army came suddenly, although it was exhausted, but it was vigorous, and it should not be touched hard. ”
Suddenly, the doubts in everyone's hearts disappeared.
Seeing that Zhang Yan was not out of the south gate, he wanted to tempt the enemy, so he ordered the 3,000 yellow turbans of the 5,000 Yellow Turban Army to cut down trees nearby and look for stones for the purpose of setting up a village, leaving only 2,000 yellow scarves.
That's it, the south gate didn't move at all, and suddenly he frowned, looked at the camp where he had done half of the homework, and sent the remaining two thousand over, but his eyes kept staring at Xuzhou.
"The soldiers of Xuzhou are so decayed!" Zhang Yan laughed, glanced at his eyes, the sun was already setting in the west, and he was afraid that it would be night in another hour.
Looking at the blushing faces of his soldiers, Du Chen sighed in his heart, if it was in the game, how could he stand such an insult? Straight a monkey's R blasted over. But this is not a game! The soldiers under his command are not those insignificant numbers, they are all living people, they are all living people!
Eating some dry food with the tea handed by Qin Xi, Du Chen had been standing on the city wall for several hours, looking for an opportunity to break the enemy, and he didn't even notice that Qin Xi's face was red from the ground.
The Yellow Turban camp there was finally completed in Du Chen's sigh.
Zhang Yan took a step forward and shouted loudly, "Xuzhou rat generation, I don't deceive you with few soldiers, you and I each send a thousand people, dare to fight?" After speaking, he made a move with his hand, and a thousand yellow scarves came out, one or two miles forward.
Du Chen looked carefully, most of these thousand were those who had camped just now, worked for several hours, and only rested for a while, and it seemed that they didn't even have time to eat.
Suddenly, Du Chen found Fang Yue, and after saying a few words, he shouted at the Yellow Turban Army, "Why don't you dare?" It's just that I'm a big city in Xuzhou, with a thick army and brave soldiers, I'm afraid that your loss will be too ugly. I look carefully, these 1,000 people have not eaten yet, how to make the effort, it is better to eat first and then come! I'll give you a stick of incense! ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Du Chenfang's soldiers were stunned, but even Zhang Yan was puzzled? What does that mean? Could it be that the people of Xuzhou are so pedantic? Or is there some kind of trickery?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yan still didn't come up with a clue, and secretly said in her heart, if you don't eat, you can't exert your strength, this is really true, could it be that this person is really a mediocre talent? ”
"Who are you?" Zhang Yan shouted.
"Who am I? Hmph," Du Chen said inscrutablely: "I came from heaven and want to go to hell, passing through the world, just to collect the power of your faith. God said, "Let me sow light and cast out darkness in a place full of darkness; God said, "Where evil is abundant, let me sow righteousness and cast out evil; God said, "Humph! Zhang Yan snorted coldly, "Say anything, don't say anything, you wait!" "Now let people take things and give them to the thousand, and the heart says that you are seeking death for yourself! Wait a minute, I'll see what kind of face you use to war!
Here, although Fang Yue had some doubts in his heart, he still picked a thousand Xuzhou elite soldiers out of the trenches, glanced back at the city wall, and saw the cyan figure who had always stood there, and the worry in his heart slowly subsided a little.
Could it be that there is really some mystery?
Du Chen looked at the puzzled and even suspicious eyes on the city tower, and felt a little bitter in his heart, how can I explain this? You'll find out later!
Turning around and glancing, Qin Xi's eyes were as usual, Ying Ying smiled, her eyes were full of trust and love, Du Chen noticed the strange look on Qin Xi's face, and immediately walked over, and said softly, "Otherwise, you go to the city tower first, the wind is strong on ......the city wall."
"Husband......" Qin Xi held Du Chen's hand, her red lips opened slightly, and she spit out a sentence, "If the concubine is not by her husband's side when she repels the yellow scarf, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”
Du Chen nodded, patted Qin Xi's hand, and was just seen by Tao Qian, who was on the city wall, and Tao Qian immediately whispered a few words to the guards beside him. The guard nodded and ran away.
The 1,000 soldiers who were picked out looked at the 1,000 yellow scarves eating hot food with complicated eyes, and some couldn't help licking their lips, all day long, they didn't eat a grain of rice except for breakfast, and they didn't drink a drop of water, watching them eat, they could only hold their spears to death, if it weren't for them, how could they have fallen into such a field!
The time of a stick of incense (about a quarter of an hour) passed quickly, and two thousand soldiers on both sides moved forward, separated by hundreds of meters.
Looking at the red light in the eyes of those well-fed and well-fed Yellow Turban thieves, Tao Qian felt bitter in his heart and secretly regretted it, he even thought, could it be that Du Xiaoyou really doesn't understand war?
A thousand yellow scarves were like a thousand wolves, roaring and rushing towards the thousand Xuzhou elite soldiers led by Fang Yue, Fang Yue firmly remembered Du Chen's words, so that the soldiers could not move.
But he was also shouting bitterness in his heart, the battle was all about momentum, the more he rushed forward, the more vigorous the momentum became, looking at the yellow turban thief who was about to arrive in front of him, Fang Yue sighed secretly, I am afraid that I will fold here today.
As the saying goes, providence is like a knife, difficult to prevent.
The thousand yellow scarves that were still imposing just now suddenly lost momentum, and their speed slowed down significantly.
Du Chen looked carefully, waved his right hand, and drank, "Drumming!" ”
"Knock knock!"
Fang Yue was puzzled, heard the sound of drums, and shouted, "Soldiers, come with me!" Let these thieves taste the benefits of our Xuzhou soldiers! ”
As soon as the words fell, Fang Yue rushed to the eyes of a yellow scarf in a few steps, flicked the spear in his hand, and stabbed straight at the other party, but found that the other party had a painful expression on his face, and then dodged without hurry, and was pierced by Fang Yue's shot.
This is the yellow scarf? The invincible Yellow Turban Army?
Before he had time to think about it, Fang Yue took out his spear and stabbed at the other yellow scarf again, the result was much the same, he suddenly had a doubt in his heart, looked to his side, and looked at the elite soldiers of Xuzhou with a strange expression, all of them were very brave, and took the other party's life.
How do you feel that we are invincible? Fang Yue felt a little funny in his heart.
Those Xuzhou elite soldiers also found that the enemies in front of them seemed to be soft one by one, and one shot was accurate, and their morale was immediately boosted.
It seems to be a one-sided situation, and a thousand yellow turbans were killed by a thousand Xuzhou elite soldiers in a moment, and Xuzhou only killed more than a hundred people.
The people on the south gate were dumbfounded, and opened their mouths as if they couldn't speak, and even the two soldiers who were beating the drums stopped at some point.
Du Chen glared at them, and they beat the drum again in shame.
"Husband......" Qin Xi gently shook Du Chen's arm, "Look at those people......"
Following Qin Xi's instructions, Du Chen suddenly felt happy in his heart, led by Tao Qian, all with wide eyes and open mouths, all attached to the edge of the city wall and looked down.
"Ahem!" Du Chen coughed and scratched Qin Xi's nose.
On the other side, Zhang Yan watched in disbelief as his elite soldiers were slaughtered like chickens and dogs, and suddenly understood in his heart that he must have fallen for the other party's plan!
"Boy above, you dare to deceive me!" Zhang Yan folded the whip, pulled out the sword at his waist, and rode his horse to the battle array, and the yellow scarves behind him swarmed up.
"Well, how did the thief army run out of strength for some reason? I just suspected that Du Xiaoyou didn't understand war, and I was the one who didn't understand! Tao Qian's eyes suddenly became even hotter when he looked at Du Chen.
Fang Yue was collecting the corpses of the soldiers who had already been Fang, and when he caught a glimpse of the Yellow Turban thieves rushing up, he suddenly panicked, "The wind is tight......
The nearly 900 elite soldiers in Xuzhou hurriedly withdrew into the trenches with the remains of their comrades, but many of them still cut off the heads of the Yellow Turban Army and hung them around their waists for military exploits.
"Alert!" Du Chen shouted, and the soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and raised their crossbows.
