Chapter 40: General Zhonglang

Before twelve o'clock, there was a chapter and until noon, the men and horses who pursued the enemy returned one after another, Zhao Yun killed Zhang Liang, Guan Yu killed Bo Cai, etc., and the other generals all had captured, this matter all depends on luck, if you meet the big boss, you will earn, and if you meet the small boss, there is no way. The busiest people now are Tian Feng and other civil officials, who are so busy counting the results of the battle, making records, and submitting war reports everywhere.

A few days later, the three-way army set off to the south to sweep away the Yellow Turban traitors in various places, and after arriving in Nanyang in mid-May, the first major battle was to defeat Zhang Mancheng's Yellow Turban thieves to relieve the siege of Wancheng. During this period, Liu Zhuo no longer competed for merit, and respected Huang Pu Song and Zhu Jun everywhere, and participated in the battle with General Huang Pu and Zhu Jun's army as the main force, and his own army acted as an auxiliary army, and this guy's low profile won the further favor of General Huang Pu and General Zhu Jun.

At this time, the reward of the imperial court also came down, encouraging Huangpu Song, Zhu Jun and others to make persistent efforts to continue to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves, commended Liu Zhuo's outstanding achievements, and promoted Liu Zhuo to Zhonglang General. This promotion is not small, and he is on the same line as General Huangpu. As the so-called there are people in the court who are good officials, since the dispatch of troops, Liu Zhuo has sent battle reports to Liu Yan in all major and small battles, and Liu Yan will sort out and send them to the imperial court according to the battle reports sent by Liu Zhuo. This imperial court reward may be to commend the previous achievements of the siege of Qingzhou, Liu Yan is a member of the royal family, and his weight is naturally much more important than Liu Zhuo, plus Liu Yan said a few words in it, praising the royal descendants for producing a young talent, do you say that the emperor Lao'er can not pay attention to it?

In Nanyang, Zhang Mancheng of the Yellow Turban Army began to besiege Wancheng with heavy troops in March, but encountered the stubborn resistance of Nanyang's Taishou Qin Jie, and the two sides were at a stalemate. It is said that if you besiege Wancheng, more than 100,000 horses will attack in turn, and it is very promising to take Wancheng, but you don't just look forward in order to rush to capture Wancheng, you must always put some spies, sentry posts and the like behind you, be careful that someone pokes your ass. Not to mention that the Yellow Turban Army was reckless and ignorant of the art of war, and now that it is a tragedy, Huang Pusong, Zhu Jun, and Liu Zhuo ended the battle of Changshe and quickly went south to Zhang Mancheng's back, ready to give them a fatal blow.

The battle was led by Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun, and Liu Zhuo's military horses were set up in the rear to suppress the formation. More than 30,000 troops under Huang Pusong and more than 10,000 troops under Zhu Jun lined up, with bright armor, swords and guns, lined up eight phalanxes, and marched majestically towards the rear camp of the Yellow Turban Army. The breathtaking military might exudes such a powerful momentum that even the air on the battlefield is stagnant, and it seems that the wind has stopped.

The flags rolled, like rolling waves, and more than 40,000 people shouted "Kill!" The sound resounded through the field, shocking, like a storm in the North Pole, like a blade passing in front of the neck, the Yellow Turban soldiers were so frightened that no one dared to step forward to try the blade, all they could do was to turn their heads and flee.

Zhang Mancheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, received an urgent report that the officers and soldiers had been killed from the rear of his army, and he had now broken through the rear camp and was advancing towards the Chinese army. Zhang Mancheng and other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army were shocked and hurriedly dispatched troops to block the offensive of the official army.

When they learned that the enemy was the official army led by Huang Pusong of the Changshe, Zhang Mancheng and other leaders were taken aback, could it be that the Bocai of the Changshe had failed? Otherwise, how could they attack Nanyang. The situation was not good, and Zhang Mancheng urgently issued an order to stop the attack on Wancheng and concentrate his forces against Huang Pusong's army.

Although the officers and soldiers were well-equipped and the battle array was extremely powerful, the ants bit the elephants to death, and the Yellow Turban thieves pounced overwhelmingly, almost trying to overwhelm the attacking phalanx of the officers and soldiers. The two armies collided into a bloody battle, and in a moment, the stumps were broken and the blood flowed like a river. Although the Yellow Turbans were outnumbered, the whole offensive was scattered and undisciplined. Looking at the officers and soldiers again, the array is neat, the sound of killing is shocking, the sword and gun attack rules are not chaotic, and they are also wearing armor to protect the vital points, and the sergeants are brave and forward, rolling forward with the killing array, indestructible.

In the battle array, a Yellow Turban soldier picked up a hoe and smashed it on the head of an officer and soldier, the helmet fell to the ground, and the soldier's head was bleeding profusely. There was also a swarm of more than a dozen Yellow Turban Army to attack one place, the Yellow Turban Army in front was cut to the ground, the Yellow Turban Army behind stabbed the officers and soldiers with spears, and even more hoes and other farm tools were smashed down, the whole is a life-to-life fighting style. After all, the officers and soldiers were well-trained, and the soldiers in front of them were down, and the soldiers behind quickly filled the gaps to keep the formation unchanged. After several waves of brave impact, the Yellow Turban Army did not break through the formation of the official army at the beginning, and gradually lost the initial attack spirit.

Liu Zhuo watched from behind, and sighed infinitely in his heart, this is the bloody killing in the era of cold weapons, and he feels that his neck is cold and swishing, although he has been coming to this shijie for a long time, but this kind of killing makes Liu Zhuo still very uncomfortable, and he must get used to this environment as soon as possible If he wants to survive and kill in the troubled times, it is a must. Gradually, Huang Pusong's army had lost nearly one-third of Liliang, and even if it defeated the Yellow Turban Army, it would lose at least half of its military strength, and the Yellow Turban Army's attack strength had weakened significantly, obviously, this kind of killing brought shock to the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Zhuo felt that he couldn't continue any longer, and he had to settle the battle as soon as possible, otherwise, I don't know how many more people would die? Raised his eyes and looked around the entire battlefield, and found that there were some loopholes in the west of the Yellow Turban Army, some young and strong people in front of the formation, and the back was full of old and weak people, uh, this is a wonderful breakthrough, let these old and weak rush the Yellow Turban Army's own position, so he immediately shouted: "The generals listen to the order." ”

At this time, the generals were still immersed in the bloody slaughter on the battlefield and did not come back to their senses, and suddenly heard the lord's order, and hurriedly responded: "No." ”

"Zhao Yun is the middle road, Huang Zhong and Guan Yu are placed on the left and right, and they go around to the west of the battlefield to launch a surprise attack, asking you and others to attack fiercely to the east with a momentum like a tiger, and they must not slack off, and they must destroy the lineup of the Yellow Turban Army in a battle, so that they will be frightened and flee from the wind."

"No, my subordinates obey the order." The people took the command and departed.

The new force, this is an absolute new force. The Yellow Turban Army in the west of the entire battlefield was not the main force in the first place, the number of young and strong was not large, how could some old and weak people resist the new force of more than 10,000 armed to the teeth, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated at the touch of a button, and fled in a panic to disrupt the camp of the Yellow Turban Army. The rout of the Yellow Turban Army on the western front is contagious, and the defeat and retreat to the central army zone directly affects the northern battlefield, and the two armies only need a little external cause to affect the battle situation, not to mention a large-scale defeat. With a "boom", the main force of the Yellow Turban Army resisting at the North Gate could no longer hold on, the entire front collapsed, Liu Zhuo's army was like a straw that overwhelmed a camel, and the Yellow Turban Army collapsed. The officers and troops took advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate countless enemies, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army fled in the direction of Ruyang.
