At this moment, dozens of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who had already rushed over roared and rushed towards Guan Yu, obviously trying to buy time for Li Damu to escape. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Guan Yu still walked forward unhurriedly.

"Kill!"

The Yellow Turban soldiers rushed to the front, and several Yellow Turban soldiers raised their blades and screamed towards Guan Yu, but when their blades were only halfway there, they saw a flash of blue light in front of them, and then they felt that the strength of their bodies was instantly gone, and then, the upper bodies of these soldiers at the head turned backwards, and blood gushed out like a spring.

Seeing such a tragic scene, the other soldiers who followed behind couldn't help but stop, and a sense of fear rose uncontrollably in their hearts, and at this time, more than a dozen soldiers ran to Li Damu, who was seriously injured on the ground, and helped Li Damu to rush to the east.

Guan Yu discovered the movements of the Yellow Turban Army, but he didn't chase Li Damu because there were dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him.

"Brothers, kill him with me!"

The dozens of soldiers surrounding Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, and first rushed towards Guan Yu with an uncontrollable shout, which immediately detonated the battle, and dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers roared and rushed towards Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's eyes widened, his left foot took a step forward, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand slashed out with the momentum of thunder, and after a brilliant blue light, blood burst out, and the dozen or so Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him were actually broken into two with a brush.

The other soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, who were already red-eyed, did not pause because of this, and continued to roar and rush towards Guan Yu, Guan Yu shouted, and stepped on the seven-star steps he learned from Lu Bu under his feet, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife made one move after another, and the head flew up under the horizontal slash, and the head flew up under the dragging, and the Yellow Turban Army soldiers were like a group of moths fighting fire, frantically plunging into the thrilling blue light.

In just a moment, there were no more enemies standing around Guan Yu, and the dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers all fell on the blood-colored muddy grass, Guan Yu was holding the Qinglong Glaive Knife obliquely, and the rain hit the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and the blood color disappeared in an instant.

Guan Yu glanced at the scene around him indifferently, and chased straight to the east, at this time Li Damu was seriously injured and was supported by his subordinates to flee to the east. The remnants of the thousands of soldiers fled in panic behind them, each of them with the horror of defeat written on their faces, throwing away their armor and hurrying like fish caught in a net, panicking like fleeing dogs.

Guan Yu led the Dingping army to cover up and kill, and chased and killed for more than ten miles, and the corpses were everywhere along the way.

The heavy rain soon stopped, and the sun showed its face. The sun is shining on this land, but the atmosphere is a little bleak.

"General, there are too many corpses, we are afraid that we will not be able to clean them up for a while!"

Qin Qiu came to Guan Yu to report.

Guan Yu thought for a moment and ordered: "Divide the people into two groups, one group chooses a place to camp, and the other group cleans up the battlefield, first clean up the corpses of fellow brothers, and then clean up the corpses of the Yellow Turban thieves tomorrow." ”

"No!"

After Qin Qiu agreed, he turned around and was about to go to the arrangement.

"Wait!"

Guan Yu said suddenly.

Qin Qiu saluted Guan Yu and asked, "General, what else do you have to order?" ”

"No!"

Qin Qiu said yes, turned around and left.

The fire outside the dense forest, poured by the heavy rain, has almost been extinguished, slowly, not even the sporadic flames can not be seen, the flames over there are gone, Peng Tuo, who was anxiously waiting for Li Damu's news outside Pingling City, finally waited for Li Damu's news to send scouts.

"Qu Shuai, our army is defeated!"

The scout reported with a dejected expression, and Peng Tuo and the generals were shocked when they heard this.

Although Du Xiang had already expected it, the scout's words still surprised him, he didn't expect his strategy to work.

"Pass the order down, collect the troops!"

Peng Tuo said to the herald beside him.

A Yellow Turban army general didn't know what to do, and asked urgently: "Qu Shuai, although Li Damu has suffered a setback, but now that our army is attacking the city, why do we want to withdraw our troops?" ”

Looking at Pingling City, Peng Tuo frowned and said: "The Dingping army occupies a favorable position, and Li Damu's defeat and retreat has frustrated the army's spirit, and if he continues to fight, it will only increase casualties, okay, it's useless to talk more, Mingjin will collect the army!" ”

With the dispatch of General Peng Tuo, the sound of the rapid and frustrated golden bell sounded immediately, and the Yellow Turban Army, which had been attacking for a whole day, finally retreated, which made the soldiers of the Dingping Army defending at the head of the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then a sense of exhaustion hit their hearts.

Although the Yellow Turban Army retreated, the Dingping Army did not dare to be careless, and still left enough garrison and alert troops at various key points, and the brigade withdrew to the forts under the city gates.

In the battle, which lasted less than three days, the two sides invested nearly 170,000 troops, and the battle was very fierce, with nearly 60,000 dead and wounded on the Yellow Turban Army, and the Dingping Army also paid a heavy price of 35,000 casualties.

Li Damu led nearly 5,000 defeated troops back to the camp on the north bank of the Weishui River in the evening, and their return made the frustration in the camp even more intense.

"Qu Shuai, the last general is incompetent, please punish Qu Shuai!"

Li Damu, who was seriously wounded, knelt on the ground after telling the story of the battle, and there were several ditches standing behind him, all of them were scarred and smoky, which showed how tragic the battle in the dense forest was.

Frowning, Peng Tuo sighed and said: "You led the army to shoulder an important mission, but you were defeated, according to the canon, you should have been punished for capital crimes, but after you personally led the warriors at the critical moment, the main force was able to return to the camp, so you were exempted from capital crimes, demoted to three ranks, and still listened to the account!" ”

Li Damu couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and thanked him: "Thank you Qu Shuai for your extrajudicial kindness!" ”

"Help Li Qu to get up," ordered the two generals behind Li Damu to step forward and help Li Damu up, and then Peng Tuo said to Li Damu with concern: "Li Qu will be injured not lightly, go down and recuperate!" ”

"No!"

Li Damu hugged his fists with a touched face.

After Li Damu retreated, Peng ordered the others to retreat as well.

When Du Xiang withdrew from the big tent, he turned around and glanced at Peng Tuo, only to see Peng Tuo sitting on the handsome seat in a daze, Du Xiang hesitated, just wanted to quit the handsome tent, but Peng Tuo stopped him.

After calling Du Xiang to stop, Peng Tuo said weakly: "Military Master, looking at the current situation, what the sect leader promised is just a flash in the pan!" ”

Listening to Peng Tuo's words, Du Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately remembered Peng Tuo's life experience.

Peng Tuo is different from other Yellow Turban generals, and also different from the Yellow Turban soldiers, most of the Yellow Turban generals are either born of bandits and bandits, or the protégés of Zhang Jiao's brothers, and most of the soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army are also ordinary people, but Peng Tuo is the queen of the Shi clan.

Peng Tuo is a person with great ambitions, he was infected by Zhang Jiao's theory and cultivation, thinking that following Zhang Jiao can overthrow this corrupt Han court and let the people live a life of abundant food and clothing, he also thinks that the Yellow Turban Army occupies the Heavenly Dao and will be able to overthrow the Han Court, but the current situation is that the Yellow Turban Army defeated the Yellow Turban Army with only one Dingping Army, and he has seen what the Yellow Turban Army has done these days, and he has been very disappointed in the Yellow Turban Army.

Listening to Peng Tuo's words, Du Xiang raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "It seems that Qu Shuai is not optimistic about the current situation?" ”

"That's right," nodded and Peng Tuo said weakly: "With the current situation, it is impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to defeat the Dingping Army, and the large-scale counteroffensive of the Dingping Army will definitely ...... soon."

"Newspaper~"

Before Peng Tuo's words were finished, a scout outside suddenly hurriedly ran into the big tent.

"Qiyu Qu Shuai, the big thing is not good, the team of men and horses stationed on the south bank of the Weishui River by the stone bridge has all been killed, and judging from the horseshoe prints on the shore, it seems that the Han army sent a large group of cavalry to the south."

"What?"

Hearing the scout's reply, Peng Tuo and Du Xiang changed color one after another.

"Qu Shuai," got up and hugged his fist at Peng Tuo, Du Xiang asked urgently: "I reported to you before, the betrayal of Cheng Yuanzhi and Han Zhong, have you ever flown a pigeon to pass the book on Yingchuan?" ”

"This ......" After listening to Du Xiang's words, Peng Tuo frowned slightly: "I've been thinking about the war recently, and I've been negligent, but it doesn't matter, the cavalry of the Dingping Army is now at most halfway now, and it's too late to send a letter." ”

Peng Tuo's words are also reasonable, Yingchuan is more than 800 miles away from Qinghejun where Pingling City is located, and it takes at least 4 to 5 days for even the light cavalry to attack.

The speed of the ancient cavalry, some people say that it travels thousands of miles a day, that is pure nonsense, the Mongolian army during the period of Genghis Khan, can be said to be the king of the ancient cold weapons, but also the role of light cavalry and heavy cavalry to the extreme, according to historical records, Temujin ordered the light and heavy cavalry to urgently assemble, from the north of the Yangtze River to the Bolgar border, marched for about two and a half months, so calculated, its average travel speed is about 100 kilometers per day.

Another example is Yue Fei to support Luzhou, the first month of the 11th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou sent a gold medal of 100,000 urgently, so that Yue Fei rushed to Luzhou, in early February, Yue Fei received an order, the next day he led 10,000 elite cavalry to aid Luzhou, through Shuzhou to Luzhou, the march needs to spare the Dabie Mountain, the total distance is about 800 miles, to February 20 Zhang Jun army to conquer Luzhou, Yue Fei has not yet arrived.

It can be seen that the speed of the cavalry march is not as rumored that it can continue to fight after traveling 500 miles a day, and it is nonsense to run for a thousand miles, so the military book says that "if you travel 300 miles a day, you will pout the general", which means that marching 300 miles in one day will inevitably cause setbacks to the commander of the army.

It was precisely because of these circumstances that Peng Tuo dared to say, 'It's too late to send a letter now.'"

Knowing the danger of the cavalry smuggling across the river, Peng Tuo immediately released the flying pigeons, but he did not know that his flying pigeons had flown less than thirty miles before they were abducted and sold by bee stingers.

Trap pigeons, a kind of training, specially used to lure the same kind of pigeons, this kind of pigeon to the female most, but there are also male pigeons, because the pigeon training Zhang Yi carried out early, and there is that advanced skills manual as a teaching material, so Zhang Yi now master the pigeon technology is much more advanced, not only the pigeon, in order to intercept the enemy pigeon, Zhang Yi also specially trained the eagle, the eagle and the pigeon will generally be raised by people who sneak into the vicinity of the local military stronghold, in order to intercept the enemy's special message.

Outside the city, the Yellow Turban soldiers retreated for dozens of miles, which gave the Dingping Army in the city a respite, after dinner, Zhang Yi, who had finished condolences to the wounded, returned to his room and read the Spring and Autumn Period again, which was the third time he had read the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Big brother!"

Zhang Yi had not been reading here for half an hour, and Zhang Fei came to Zhang Yi in a hurry, but when he entered the door, he shouted big brother, but it really scared Zhang Yi who was reading.

"This Zhang Heizi!"

Frightened by Zhang Fei's shout, Zhang Yi, who was originally concentrating on studying the Spring and Autumn Period, immediately lost interest.

"Big brother!"

While running excitedly, he trotted to Zhang Yi's room, Zhang Fei shouted excitedly: "The yellow turban thief was repelled by my old Zhang again, haha......"

"Hum~"

Zhang Fei's laughter was like muffled thunder, which shook Zhang Yi's ears with a trill.

"Boom"

Impatiently knocked on the table with the bamboo slip in his hand, Zhang Yi shouted impatiently: "The Yellow Turban Army will retreat when it retreats, what's the fuss?" You kid be quiet for me, Lao Tzu reads! And how many times has Lao Tzu told you, it's the Yellow Turban Army, not the Yellow Turban Thief! ”

For the Yellow Turban, Zhang Yi has always called it the Yellow Turban Army, but in addition to him, everyone else is called a thief, it can be seen from this point that in the hearts of everyone, they still regard themselves as officials and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and think that the Yellow Turban Rebellion rebelled, but Zhang Yi does not think so, he regards Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Army as opponents in his heart, and in the future, he may also seek to seize the world like Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Army, if Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Army are thieves, then what is the future Dingping Army?

"Hey......

With a big grin, Zhang Fei scratched his head and said, "I remember, it's the Yellow Turban Army, but big brother, you haven't been to the city once in the whole day, aren't you afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will enter the city?" I can see that they seem to be tinkering with the cloud building. ”

Zhang Yi understands the technology of building a cloud building, Du Xiang naturally understands it, and with Du Xiang here, the Yellow Turban Army is naturally possible to build a cloud building.

"Cloud Tower?" Turning his face sideways to look at Zhang Fei, Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Just they still build Cloud Tower?" I think it's a tiger that doesn't make an anti-dog, do you think anyone can be as smart and wise as your big brother? Besides, even if they build it, if they go to the city wall, they will be sent to death, and our Dingping Army can still be afraid of them in melee combat? With elite soldiers and such a strong city defense, Lao Tzu also provided you with trebuchets and rockets, if you can still let the Yellow Turban Army enter, you Zhang Yide can simply find a piece of tofu and kill you! ”

Although he was disdainful of the Yellow Turban Army in his tone, the Cloud Tower that Zhang Fei said reminded Zhang Yi that if the Yellow Turban Army could successfully make the Cloud Tower, it would mean that the player who was originally in Pingling City had now joined Peng Tuo, or there was more than one player in the Yellow Turban Army, and these two points made Zhang Yi very worried.

Zhang Yi's thoughts, Zhang Fei naturally couldn't guess it, and he didn't think to guess, this time he came to ask Zhang Yi for information.

"Yes, yes, big brother is wise and martial, hehe," smiled, Zhang Fei came to Zhang Yi's side and asked quietly: "I said that the eldest brother of the wise and martial arts, where did the surnamed Donkey and Jingde go?" I'm looking for them. ”

"Military secrets, no comment, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, when you want to know, the eldest brother will naturally tell you."

Zhang Yi, who had long known that Zhang Fei was here to inquire about Lu Bu's movements, blocked Zhang Fei's words without even thinking about it.

"That big brother ......"

Zhang Fei was about to continue to ask, but Zhang Yi suddenly pulled out a paper book from the table and gave it to him, which said 'Journey to the West III', after seeing those four words, Zhang Fei immediately put the question of Lu Bu's movements behind him, and after snatching the book, Zhang Fei laughed and rushed out of the room.

Just when Zhang Fei and Zhang Yi were busy enjoying themselves, there was a cheer in the Yellow Turban Army camp outside the city, it turned out that the first cloud tower of the Yellow Turban Army was finally built.
