Text Chapter 117 Seeking wealth and danger
"Kill!"
Just when Zhang Chao felt a little helpless, and the situation seemed to be irreversible, on the other side of the Yellow Turban Army, bright torches suddenly appeared, and then countless cavalry rushed out, aiming directly at the Chinese army where the poison was.
"My lord, it's General Huang Zhong's banner!" The sharp-eyed iron guard who was responsible for protecting Zhang Chao saw the big flag revealed under the torch, and said to Zhang Chao excitedly.
"Well, it's reinforcements coming. Brothers, reinforcements are coming, kill! Zhang Chao also saw the banner with the Yellow Army written on it at this time, and immediately felt that his whole body was full of strength at this moment, and immediately shouted loudly, and he rushed to the front with a desperate horse.
Zhao Yun and the three of them, who were about to be exhausted, were all in pain when they saw the Zhang family's light cavalry lose in order to save themselves. These are their brothers, and they are also the brothers of the lord, and now they are completely desperate to save themselves. While feeling guilty, they saw the cavalry coming from afar, and at the same time heard the shouts of the Zhang family's light cavalry, and knew that the person who came was General Huang Zhong, who was reinforcing the army, and the three of them re-energized as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the speed of wielding weapons in their hands began to be the same as before.
Zhang Chao and the others were excited, but looking at the Yellow Turban Army, they really couldn't be calm at this moment. They were originally shocked by the offensive of Zhang Chao's army, and they saw Huang Zhong appear again. That's a regiment of people. In the past, there have been battles, but there has never been a time of victory. Now these people have suddenly appeared, how can that battle be fought.
However, the first reaction was indeed not these Yellow Turban Army, but their generals were poisonous.
When he saw a torch appearing on the side, Yu Poison felt bad. He knew Zhang Yan very well, and even if he sent himself, he would definitely not send reinforcements, and it was likely that he would be a friend or foe.
When the team approached and he recognized that it was the Huang Zhong army of the First Legion, he confirmed this idea. It was unruly to not support a legion before this operation, not to mention, these people suddenly appeared, and they must have come to Xingshi to ask for guilt. Even so, if he doesn't leave, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to leave after a while.
Yu Poison made a decision, and led the troops to leave. Left some of the Yellow Turbans in place, who still couldn't figure out what was going on.
The pressure on Zhao Yun's three sides suddenly disappeared, and the three of them also rushed back to Zhang Chao.
The cavalry led by Huang Zhong drove all the more than 3,000 Yellow Turban troops who had time to escape, and seized their weapons under the threat of force with bows and arrows. General Huang rode a horse and brought his own soldiers to Zhang Chao, and there was a place five zhang away, so he dismounted, and then said on one knee: "The last general, Huang Zhong, meet the lord." ”
"Hansheng get up quickly, this time thanks to your timely rescue, otherwise, I'm afraid we will have to fight the Yellow Turban Army here." Zhang Chao helped Huang Zhong up, and then thought in his heart that if the rescuers did not arrive in time, it was likely that they would lose the general, and even the remaining Zhang family light cavalry would suffer heavy losses, so he couldn't help but sigh.
Huang Zhong, who was helped up, replied respectfully: "The last general didn't dare to be greedy, it was from the Montenegrin Army that he got the report, and the military advisor Xu Shu ordered me to bring five thousand cavalry to hurry over, and the Lord Protector went to Huguan quickly." ”
"Well, is Xu Yuanzhi waiting for me at Huguan?" Hearing that it was Xu Shu's arrangement, Zhang Chao nodded with satisfaction. Anticipating the enemy has always been the skill of a senior strategist.
"Yes, not only is the Xu army here, but General Xu Huang is also waiting for the lord with two thousand cavalry, three thousand infantry, and most importantly, five hundred heavy cavalry of the Zhang family." Huang Zhong gave a brief introduction to the situation of the pot.
These words were heard in Zhang Chao's ears, causing him to ponder for a while.
Seeing that Zhang Chao seemed to be thinking about Huguan, Huang Zhong said again: "Two years ago when we came to Bingzhou, in addition to contact with the Xiongnu and Qianghu, the most contact was the Montenegrin Army. Especially in Shangdang County
Exposure is the most frequent. They relied on a large number of people, and we relied on well-equipped, many cavalry, and fast maneuvers, in short, it was difficult for anyone to inflict heavy losses on anyone. In particular, in the past six months, after seeing the combat strength of our First Army, they seldom fought with us head-on, and the situation gradually formed a trend of confrontation, until we secretly formed a kind of latent cooperation, that is, once a foreign enemy entered, they would communicate with each other and decide on a joint operation. But I don't know why, this time the lord wants to enter the state, and they did not notify them and suddenly attacked, if it were not for the timely notification of Zhou Cang, the liaison general of the Montenegrin army, I am afraid that there will be a big problem this time. ”
Thinking that when he arrived just now, Zhang Chao was fighting against tens of thousands of enemies with more than 1,000 troops, Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel a cold sweat.
Zhang Chao fell into further deep thought, he already had a bolder plan in his mind, he decided to go back and discuss with Jia Xu and Lu Su and the two strategists to make a decision.
More than 3,000 Yellow Turbans were taken prisoner and brought back to a hill outside the castle to be seen. Zhang Chao took Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong and a group of people back to Chaoge County.
As soon as she returned to the county office, Bai Tong greeted her, and from her somewhat red and swollen eyes, it could be seen that she should have just cried.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I won't be doing something like this that worries you in the future." Zhang Chao hugged Bai Tong lightly and comforted him in a low voice.
"Well, the slave family knew you would be fine, but I just couldn't help but want to cry." Bai Tong was afraid that he would distract Zhang Chao's attention because of himself, so he tried his best to explain.
"Okay, it's okay, in this case, you pack up and get ready to get out of here." Zhang Chao patted Bai Tong's back, he still cherished this virtuous helper.
Arranged for Bai Tong to leave, Zhang Chao nodded to Zhang Rui again, although this person did not participate in the war, but he has been defending his family, if he expected it to be good, once something happened to him, this person would do his best to complete the task he assigned.
"Wenhe, Zijing, you two come with me, Hansheng, you also come in and recount what you just said." Zhang Chao called the two military advisors and went straight to the back room, this was to discuss a major matter. Zhao Yun and the others were indeed tired after a night of hard fighting, so they took this time to take a good rest.
In the back room of the county office, Huang Zhong was silent after repeating what he had just said. He knew that when it came to killing the enemy on the battlefield, these people were inferior to him, but when it came to strategizing and formulating battle plans, he was obviously incomparable.
As soon as Huang Zhong closed his words, Zhang Chao stared at Jia Xu and Lu Su with some excitement, obviously expecting something.
The two senior strategists didn't know what Zhang Chao meant by calling them, but now they saw the excited gaze and knew that this was the lord preparing for a big battle.
"Lord, wouldn't it be too risky? We're really sweating tonight. After Lu Su thought of what Zhang Chao was going to do, he reminded him softly.
"Wealth is in danger. Besides, don't the facts prove that tonight's events are just thrilling? Zhang Chao said indifferently.
Zhang Chao's explanation made Lu Su disagree, he said: "Lord, this is different, tonight's event has the desperate battle of Zhao Yun and other generals, as well as the bloody battle of the Zhang family's light cavalry..."
"yes." Without waiting for Lu Su to finish speaking, Zhang Chao interrupted: "Tomorrow's battle will also have them, I have already checked it just now, although there are slight losses in this battle, but there are more than 1,000 light cavalry in the Zhang family, plus the 5,000 cavalry brought by General Huang Zhong, it is enough to fight." ”
"But..."Lu Su still wanted to say something with some disapproval.
Zhang Chao did wave his hand and said: "Han Sheng has just said that the Montenegrin Army is mainly more people than itself, and its combat strength is too far behind the first army. They also saw this disadvantage, and they were not in a hurry to fight us, but only harassed themselves everywhere with their strong troops. In this way, it has caused great resistance to our development. Maybe it used to be, after all, the mission of the First Army was only to gain a foothold in the annexation state and seek development for itself. But now that I'm here, the construction of the state is about to be in full swing. If they are harassed and sabotaged by some people, they will eventually destroy the plan, and how to destroy them will become a problem that must be faced. And this is an opportunity, if you can inflict heavy damage on the enemy in Chaoge, it must be able to deter the enemy and destroy the opponent's vital force. And Zijing, you don't know, those Yellow Turban Army are really mediocre, we won this battle with 3,500 to 30,000, but not only that, but also captured more than 3,000 people on the other side. ”
Zhang Chao tried his best to persuade Lu Su, and at the same time looked at Jia Xu on the side, he really wanted to hear the opinions of this poisonous strategist.
Jia Xu naturally saw Zhang Chao's gaze, so he pondered for a while and said, "The lord's proposal is not impossible. But I don't think it's enough to rely on the 5,000 people brought by General Huang. ”
Jia Xu had already agreed, which caused Zhang Chao to say happily: "Naturally it is not enough, in this way, I will send people to Huguan quickly, transfer General Xu Huang, and at the same time bring the two thousand cavalry there and the five hundred most elite Zhangjiazhong cavalry here, I want to have a small decisive battle with the Black Mountain Army here, and I want to use victory to comfort the Zhang Jiajun brothers and Dragon Tiger Army brothers who died in this battle." ”
When Zhang Chao said this, he already showed a very firm attitude. After Jia Xu and Lu Su glanced at each other, they knew that this was an idea, so they had to nod immediately, and then the four of them discussed how to deal with the enemy together.
