Seeing that Huangfu Song was kind, the old farmer's heart calmed down a little, and said, "My lord, you ...... What do you say? The grass people did not dare to accept the reward. ”

Huangfu Song didn't argue with him, and asked, "In the past two days, other troops have come here, what have they done?" ”

The old peasant's face changed, as if he thought of something to be afraid of, and only after a while did he say, "Big ...... My lord, yesterday a large army of Yellow Turban thieves passed by and went forward, but along the way they robbed us of all our food. And as long as they were hunting, they were also captured. Your Excellency, you have to call the shots for us! ”

In fact, this old farmer is also very sad in his heart! Originally, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army was a good person, and they also distributed food to the poor people, and there were many young and middle-aged people in the village who participated in the Yellow Turban Army before! How is it that now, these Yellow Turban Army, like the official army, are robbing the food of the common people? At this moment, when he met this Huangfu Song, who looked like a good official, the old farmer seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and began to cry.

Huangfu Song didn't bother to pay attention to the old farmer's sadness for a while, frowned, and asked: "In the past, what are you doing with this hunter?" Have those people ever mentioned it? ”

The old farmer hurriedly said: "The grass people didn't see it in person, but I heard the villagers talk about it, as if those Yellow Turban Army caught these hunters to do some traps." After arresting so many people, I don't know how many beasts these Yellow Turban Army plan to catch! Hey, poor we don't even have anything to eat now. ”

Huangfu Song got the news he wanted to know, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, wait until the rebellion is put down." This official will send a message to the emperor and ask for a reduction or exemption of your taxes. Then your days will be better. ”

The old peasant thanked Huangfu Song again and again, and almost called him the official of Qingtian's parents. Huangfu Song waved his hand, asked the soldiers to take the old peasant down, and let him be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

As soon as the old peasant left, General Chen had already walked back quickly, and Huangfu Song frowned when he saw him. Then he asked, "General Chen, how is it?" Could it be that something has happened to the army sent out to investigate? ”

General Chen smiled bitterly and said, "They didn't have any changes. However, the news was not very good. Although the Yellow Turbans had only arrived for a day, they had already dug a trench more than two meters wide around their camp, and it seemed that they were planning to fight a decisive battle with our army here. ”

Huangfu Song smiled and said, "Zhang Jiao wants to fight with us." We can't ask for it, so why should General Chen be sad? ”

General Chen said: "But the trench ......"

Huangfu Song said with a smile: "The trench is also expected, if you and I plan to fight someone else here, it will also be strictly arranged, I'm afraid it's not just a trench." Besides, a simple trench is not easy to deal with? Did they surround the whole camp with a trench? ”

General Chen said: "No, their entire camp is covered with a radius of nearly ten square kilometers. Even if you have the intention to surround the whole camp, it is estimated that you will not have the ability. ”

Huangfu Song said: "We don't care if the Yellow Turban Thieves have the ability to dig a trench around the camp. We need to understand where the opposing team's main force is now. ”

General Chen said: "The other side's trench is dug on the side facing us, that is, on the west side, and there is no trench on the side facing the jungle. In the opinion of the last general. The other side wants to fight us to the death by relying on the trench, and if they fail, they can escape into the jungle from the east side. Therefore, the last general thinks that the main force of the opponent is on the west side. ”

Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "This official doesn't see it that way, and the other party dug a trench." It's just to limit the direction of our attack, and then make it necessary for us to have a decisive battle with their main forces. In this way, it is more able to give full play to the skill advantages of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the chaotic party. Therefore, I think the main force is most likely to be on the east side. ”

After hearing this, General Chen also felt that what Huangfu Song said had some truth, but he still could not rule out the possibility that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was on the west side.

Huangfu Song said: "We can't judge this, the level of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is difficult to see from the equipment, and the only one who can be distinguished is the Yellow Turban Force." But at times like this. The other party will definitely hide the Yellow Turban Lux in the team and will not let us see it. Therefore, we need to determine the specific location of the main force, and we can only know it by trying. ”

General Chen said, "Isn't this very risky? ”

Huangfu Song said: "General Chen, you are wrong, war is a risky thing, and no one can guarantee that you can win the battle 100%. If this were the case, the world would have been peaceful a long time ago. ”

General Chen smiled, but he didn't complain about Huangfu Song's criticism, paused, and said, "Lord Huangfu, what should we do now?" ”

Huangfu Song said with a straight face: "Since the other party has put on a decisive battle posture in 1510, then the role of strategy at this moment is minimal. We can only fight to the death at their request. However, in terms of strategy, it needs to be studied. Before you returned, the officer had the local people summoned, and they learned from them that after the Yellow Turban Army arrived here yesterday, they had arrested the local hunters, and the officer suspected that they had laid layers of traps on the south side of the camp. That's why I said before that I wanted to determine the position of the opponent's main team. ”

General Chen said, "Then Lord Huangfu is planning to attack from the west?" ”

Huangfu Song nodded and said: "The trench dug by the Yellow Turban Rebellion actually has little impact on ordinary foot soldiers, the key is to limit the play of cavalry, and when the trench is passed, the effect of the charge will definitely be reduced to the lowest point." However, a large part of our army's elite troops are cavalry, and the other party also calculated this before making this arrangement. However, if our army can clear a piece of territory from the large battalion on the west side in a short period of time, leaving room for the cavalry to charge, it will not only be able to disrupt the opponent's deployment, but may also make the opponent suffer the consequences. ”

Then Huangfu Song asked General Chen to call all the senior generals, and a group of people discussed it in detail for a while, and then quickly made the final deployment of the war.

As soon as Qiē was ready, the two high-ranking generals led hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers to rush straight to the east side, while the rest of the men and horses rushed to the west side as fast as they could.

Fifty miles is not very far away, more than an hour later. Huangfu Song led the army to the west side first, and was greeted by a trench more than two meters wide, and on the opposite side of the trench was a simple defense made of heavy vehicles. Behind the baggage cart was densely packed with yellow turban archers. The tents of the entire battalion were removed, and all the soldiers were arrayed and ready for battle.

"Heavy Shields! Form a multi-defense formation to cover the archers forward! Six hundred meters from the trench, erect a catapult! When Huangfu Song saw this, he quickly gave an order.

"Kill!" The leaders of the two legions who received the order roared. Quickly rush forward, then advance in formation, and the whole movement is clean. A wave of killing gas permeated the battlefield. At a glance, it is clear that both legions are the elite of a hundred battles.

When the battle line advanced to 400 meters, there was a sudden "clang" sound in the Yellow Turban Army's camp, and hundreds of boulders were thrown high. and then smashed into the imperial camp. But this amount of boulder was insignificant to the battle line that stretched for thousands of meters, and the people who fought were all trained in blood and fire, and fear could hardly affect their actions. Apart from the killing of more than a dozen people, this round of attacks by the catapults had no effect.

Looking at the sparse boulders, a chuckle appeared on Huangfu Song's face, it seemed that Zhang Jiao really did not place heavy troops on the west side.

In an instant, the heavy shield men covered the archers and rushed to a distance of one hundred and eighty meters in front of the trench.

"Projectile!" The archers began to bend their bows and shoot, and a dense array of arrows shot towards the opposing camp.

These are all seventh-order archers! Only archers above the seventh rank can reach a range of one hundred and eighty meters. It seems that Huangfu Song plans to break through the opponent's defense line in one fell swoop!

The arrows pierced the Yellow Turban Army's defenses with a piercing sound of breaking wind, and the defenses of the heavy wagons were too weak. Countless Yellow Turbans were killed by arrows.

What made the Yellow Turban Army helpless was that the opposing army two hundred meters away was helpless.

Huangfu Song, who tested the strength of the other party, immediately ordered the sword and shield soldiers to start carrying sandbags and filling the ravines! With these powerful archers of their own, the opponent is not able to exert power at all from a distance. Therefore, Huang Fu Song was not worried about how much loss this action would bring to him.

After these eighth-order archers of the imperial court camp attacked for two rounds, nearly a thousand catapults on their side had already been erected. The boulder fell like locusts towards the Yellow Turban army.

……

The Yellow Turban generals guarding this side panicked. Immediately asked someone to report to Zhang Jiao and ask for support. In fact, even if he didn't ask for help, Zhang Jiao found that the situation was wrong.

Because when the attack began on the west side, an army of hundreds of thousands also came from the east side, but when they arrived, they did not attack immediately, but built a defense several miles away from the Yellow Turban army.

Just as Huangfu Song thought. Zhang Jiao did place the main force on the east side. Because he concluded that Huangfu Song would definitely attack from the east side, in addition to the reason that there was a trench dug on the west side, which was not conducive to the cavalry charge, and another point was that he thought that Huang Fu Song would not give him the opportunity to escape into the jungle from the east side, and would definitely attack from the east side and cut off his retreat route.

It doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, isn't Huangfu Song worried about escaping into the jungle? Could it be that he was sure that he was not willing to fail?

In desperation, Zhang Jiao immediately led the elite army to the east, and at the same time ordered Zhang Liang to lead a team of men and horses to exterminate the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops stationed on the east side.

However, this large battalion, which stretched for nearly ten square kilometers, could not be rushed to support even if it was to arrive. And in this moment, the imperial army paid the price of thousands of fourth-order sword and shield soldiers to fill this three-thousand-meter-long ravine.

"General Chen, order the whole army to charge!" Huangfu Song quickly gave the order.

"Kill! ……”

"Rush! ……”

The dense imperial army rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army with thousands of horses galloping.

The heavy shield soldier rushed to the front against the opponent's arrows, quickly crossed the filled ravine, and pushed away the baggage cart!

The two sides began to engage in close combat......

The Yellow Turban Army, whose overall strength was much lower than that of the imperial army, was powerless to resist at all, and was directly killed in all directions, and countless people were killed before they even had time to mention their weapons!

A panic gradually spread among these ordinary Yellow Turban troops, and in an instant, the imperial army cleared out a battlefield hundreds of meters wide. (To be continued)
