Chapter 100: A Great Victory

With Ma Yuanyi's roar, countless torches rose in the originally silent wilderness almost in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing! The dense yellow turban soldiers set off a surging wave like a tide, rushing towards the huge Puyang City.

Although the soldiers on the city wall had already received orders and were prepared in their hearts, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene, and their hands and feet trembled a little. Almost no longer need too much camouflage, and very lightly put on a chaotic posture and sounded the sharp alarm bell. "Bell! Clang! Clang! There was a piercing sound of gold and iron.

At the same time, the city gate also began to follow the pre-arranged arrangement, so that the loud soldiers shouted together: "The enemy is coming!" Close the gates! Close the gates! ”

In the midst of this rising and falling cry, the tall and heavy city gate also slowly began to close in the violent "squeak" sound.

Of course, this qiē is all an illusion, and it is impossible to really close the city gates. Therefore, when the cavalry at the forefront of the Yellow Turban Army rushed fifty paces away, the soldiers in charge of closing the city gate turned around and ran away in panic, so that the city gate fell into a half-open and half-closed way!

This scene also entered Ma Yuanyi's eyes, and at this moment, he really put his mind at ease, and when he thought of the favorable situation after getting Puyang, he immediately laughed. couldn't help but gallop wildly, and shouted excitedly in his mouth: "Sons, rush! ”

At the same time that the Yellow Turban launched a charge, Huangfu Song, who was sitting on the ground on the other side, also received a report from the soldiers. "General, according to observation, the enemy army has only attacked from our north and west gates!"

Hearing this, Huangfu Song didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied sharply: "Inform Yuan Shao and Liu Meng at the South City Gate and Yuan Shu and Hu Guang from the East City Gate, and let them lead the soldiers of the two gates to break out of the city and enter from both wings of the enemy when I ambush the enemy!" ”

"No!" The herald answered, and his feet flew like a fly, and in the blink of an eye he had run away.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army had also rushed through the two huge gates to the west and north of Puyang City, and came to the urn city on both sides. The generals who took the lead laughed when they saw that there was no one around, only some panicked soldiers on the city wall, and they confirmed that this was a completely empty city. Immediately, they rushed forward, intending to rush to the inner city first and achieve the first success!

But just when they thought that the overall situation was decided, several small gates of the inner city suddenly closed at a very fast speed. Although surprised, the Yellow Turban generals didn't care, but laughed and said, "Hahaha...... Brothers, the Han army is still fighting, we will quickly climb the city wall, slaughter them all, and avenge the dead brothers! ”

Hearing this, the Yellow Turban soldiers who had already rushed into the urn city were also demoralized, and their roars shook the sky.

"Slaughter the Han army and avenge your brothers!"

"Kill!"

"Kill the dog thief of Huangfu Song!"

However, the sound lasted only a moment, and before the soldiers could rush to the side of the steps to ascend the city wall, countless torches suddenly lit up on the walls in all directions, and then the generals snickered disdainfully. "Ignorant child, you have already fallen for Wang Xu's plan, how dare you be arrogant?"

With the sound, another column of crossbowmen suddenly appeared, densely covering the city walls, stretching their bows and arrows.

Before the Yellow Turban Army could react, the overwhelming rain of arrows had already poured down, and the Yellow Turban Army fell down in an instant!

At this time, the Yellow Turban soldiers came back to their senses from the huge contrast, and saw that the army had fallen into someone else's scheme, and they had become a live target, and they immediately became a mess, screaming and running out of the city. The entire Yellow Turban Army was in disarray, trampling on each other and rushing to the city gates. But how could it be possible to run out in such a chaotic situation? What's more, there were more unknown soldiers outside the city rushing inside, and the huge city gate and alleyway had been completely blocked in an instant!

And the earth-shattering war drums of the imperial army, the dense rain of arrows whistling, and the miserable howls of the Yellow Turban soldiers being shot by random arrows also instantly resounded throughout Puyang City.

Although the Yellow Turban generals tried their best to shout and make the soldiers effectively form a queue to retreat, this was completely futile, not to mention that no one could hear their voices at all, and even these generals themselves were constantly dodging and taking care of themselves!

The rain of arrows shot less than fifteen rounds, and the Yellow Turban soldiers completely collapsed, and the Yellow Turbans outside the city did not know why, but they kept hearing countless screams, and saw countless Han troops suddenly appearing on the city wall, and immediately fled in panic.

And the yellow turban soldiers blocked by the city gate were even more miserable, those soldiers were terrified, completely trampling on each other, you pulled me, and many people were pulled to the ground alive and trampled to death. There is that kind of ruthless person who even kills his comrades next to him at the previous moment, regardless of the intention of escaping from the city and escaping from this desperate cage!

But that's just the beginning! Immediately afterwards, the army led by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others also rushed out of the city from the south gate and the east city gate, and when they saw the yellow turban soldiers in chaos, they did not hesitate and immediately killed them from both wings.

In an instant, in the wilderness, the passionate shouts of killing started again, but this time the people who shouted to kill changed.

The two imperial armies that suddenly came out of the darkness suddenly made the panicked Yellow Turban soldiers even more frightened, and their hearts were cold, and they were afraid that they would be one step behind.

Almost no resistance was encountered, and the two armies led by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were like two fierce tigers slaughtering into the flock, and everywhere they passed, the Yellow Turban soldiers fell in pieces!

At the same time, the Yellow Turban soldiers in the urn city were also killed and wounded, and the lucky remaining Yellow Turban soldiers finally escaped. But this is not over, seeing that the general trend has been decided, Huangfu Song immediately ordered the cavalry who had been waiting in the inner city for a long time to rush out of the inner city, quickly rushed through the urn city, and killed the Yellow Turban rout in the field!

Wang Xu, who was standing on the wall of the north gate and saw this scene, also sighed at this moment, where is this still a war, it is simply a one-sided massacre, and the defeated Yellow Turban soldiers have no power to fight back at all!

However, he didn't have time to continue to sigh, and Huangfu Song's orders followed. Let him immediately gather 5,000 men and horses, rush to the Yellow River crossing in the north, and use the Yellow Turban boats to raid the Yellow Turban camp on the north bank of the Yellow River at night!

Wang Xu, who received the order, did not hesitate, and immediately took action, and after assembling at the fastest speed, he rushed to the Yellow River crossing at full speed.

Riding the Yellow Turban boat, waving the Yellow Turban flag, and it was late at night, where could the Yellow Turban soldiers who stayed in the Yellow Turban Village be able to distinguish. Wang Xu pretended to be victorious at the front, and was ordered to come back to escort grain and grass, and approached the shore without much interrogation, deceiving the water gate. After all, it is unbelievable that tens of thousands of troops have been completely defeated in such a short period of time, but it is more acceptable to successfully attack an empty city.

Therefore, when these left-behind yellow scarves were excited about the news of the victory, Wang Xu was already about to land. It was only then that the yellow turbans could see the people on the boat.

Where is the murderous and heavily armed soldier who is a yellow scarf, it is simply the attire of the Han army! Frightened, they only had time to ring the alarm bell, and in a panic hastily released two rounds of sporadic arrow waves, Wang Xu had already led the army to land with lightning speed.

The army that was in full swing almost rushed into the Yellow Turban Village. Originally, there were less than 10,000 troops left behind in this Yellow Turban Village, and they were suddenly killed in unprepared, and they had no ability to resist at this moment, and many soldiers were killed in their sleep!

Xu Huang, Gao Shun, and Wang Fei are even more brave to be the first, although they are on foot, they are extremely brave, and they always charge at the forefront of the army, and the yellow turban thieves who fell under the sharp blades of the three are even more innumerable!

At the same time, the soldiers kept shouting out the news that Ma Yuanyi had been defeated and captured, which made some of the soldiers who stubbornly resisted quickly lose their fighting spirit.

In less than half an hour, this battle with no suspense ended quickly, except for the soldiers who fled, the rest of the Yellow Turban thieves were either killed or disarmed and surrendered. Wang Xu, who had completed the task, did not relax, and immediately began to repair the Yellow Turban Battalion in order to resist a possible counterattack. Of course, this is extremely unlikely, but you have to be prepared!

After this battle, the problem of crossing the river that plagued Huangfu Song was easily solved, and most of the main force of the Yellow Turban in Dongjun was also wiped out, although Ma Yuanyi and other leaders were not able to catch it in the end, which was a pity, but the harvest of this battle was to shake the world. With hundreds of casualties, nearly 20,000 people were killed, more than 30,000 people were captured, and the rest of the people were scattered. This battle is already one of the most famous battles in history!

And Huangfu Song is indeed an admirable general, and most of the credit for this battle is attributed to Zang Min and Wang Xu. With the promulgation of the imperial court, the world knew it for a while. Wang Xu, a young hero who is already famous, is even more talked about by people after dinner. And because of his young age, some people even compare him with Huo Qu's illness back then, of course, this statement is still relatively rare.

At the same time, Huangfu Song also took advantage of Ma Yuanyi's defeat to recover the four counties of Dunqiu, Weiguo, Dongwuyang, and Yangping in Dongjun one after another. At this time, Bu Ji, who had withdrawn his troops from the Plains Country, had just arrived at Liaocheng in the east of Dongjun.

Seeing that Huangfu Song took advantage of the great victory to be unstoppable, but the Yellow Turban soldiers were demoralized, Bu Ji also made a decision. Decisively led nearly 100,000 Yellow Turbans to quickly withdraw from Dongjun and fled north into Qinghe Kingdom, intending to go to Guangzong to join Zhang Jiao's main force.

In the face of such a situation, Huangfu Song did not rush forward, and after recovering the whole county of Dongjun, he led the army to garrison Dongwuyang and rested from the battle. At the same time, count the combat exploits of all departments of the whole army and report to the imperial court!

And this time, there was no news from the imperial court for most of the month, and it was not until Zhang Jiao and Bu Ji's two armies joined forces to defeat Dong Zhuo one after another and force him to retreat to Wei County that a new order came.
