Chapter 126: Zhou Yu Sets Foot in the Camp
"Gong Yi - how is the troop deployment outside the east gate?" Outside the east gate, Zhou Yu and Jiang Qin watched from a distance that there were many torches lit in the camp tent of the Yellow Turban Army, and there were more guards near the grain and grass, but the 10,000 horses of the Yellow Turban Army outside the east gate, in addition to the grain and grass transferred from the main camp, some were borrowed from the people nearby. It is almost the same as robbing it if it is borrowed, and now the common people do not value any gold and silver treasures, but a mouthful of food in their hands, as long as there is food, they can live, and living is hope. Their military rations here don't look much, but they are also the only treasure, and they must send more people to protect them.
Outside the camp gate were two simple horse-repellent piles made of a few pieces of wood, and two guards stood at the camp gate leaning crookedly against the wooden gate, and then it was a little dark and could not be seen clearly. If you get too close, you will be discovered by the Yellow Turban Army in the camp, Zhou Yu thought again and again that it is still the simplest and most crude way, that is, the horse stepping on the company camp, this method is the most direct and the fastest! And he asked Jiang Qin to arrange to go to the east gate and the north gate to cut off the enemy's retreat, it is estimated that there will not be too much difficulty on these two sides, so the rest is that he Zhou Yu should be arrogant.
"Soldiers, listen to the order - follow Ben Shuai into the camp and kill all the things raised by these bitches, that is, they robbed you of your food and ruined your wives and children, when will this revenge be avenged now? What our Yangzhou army has to do is to protect the territory and the people, what should we do with these jackals, tigers and leopards? If you're still a bloody man, then you tell me out loud what to do? After Zhou Yu figured it out, he turned on his horse and took out his spear, raised it in the air, and shouted loudly. At this time, he was not afraid of being known by the people in the Yellow Turban Battalion, even if they knew, it would be useless, and now among the four thousand sergeants present are soldiers of the former Yangzhou Army, and some of them are still surrendered by the Yellow Turban Army of Wu County, but after ten days of getting along, they understand how to really live. Now that Zhou Yu was provoked like this, all the soldiers were suddenly excited.
"Kill them all—"
"Kill them all—"
"Kill them all—"
The four thousand sergeants showed their weapons murderously, and in an instant they choked the Yellow Turban Army at the east gate, and they couldn't figure out where the shouts appeared.
"Light the torch - raise the drum - all the soldiers will kill with me!" Zhou Yu took the lead, Jiang Qin followed closely and rushed in with three strands of Tuotian Fork, and the soldiers behind him had red and murderous eyes, as if they had been brainwashed by Zhou Yu. It's not that Zhou Yu is powerful, but Zhou Yu usually makes the truth very clear to these soldiers, they don't serve as soldiers to earn money and food or get promoted, the most important thing is to protect the territory and the people, so that their wives and children can live in a comfortable environment, they will not lack food and clothing, and they will not be bullied by others, this is the goal of being a soldier in their lives, and whoever wants to destroy this stability will not be able to get along with them, just like the hatred of killing their father and taking their wife. The reason is very simple, as long as someone points it out, the people present are just illiterate and not stupid.
"Knock, knock, knock-" The quiet night was broken by a burst of war drums, and the sound of killing outside the Yellow Turban barracks at the east gate shook the sky.
"When, when, when—enemy attack—get up! Get up! "The camp of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly made a mess, they were all a group of bandits, bandits, and ordinary people mixed together, and in the case of a sudden occurrence, they made a pot of porridge indiscriminately, and there was still a period of time before the general attack time stipulated by Qu Shuai Chen, and they agreed that after the fire in the city, the four gates would be refined at the same time, and they would strive to capture Yangzhou City in one fell swoop. Being so troubled by Zhou Yu and them, the little marshals guarding the east camp were a little panicked, and hurriedly took weapons and armor and drilled out of the camp tent.
"Damn the thief - take your life! Jiang Qin, you quickly lead people to burn their grain and grass, and by the way, burn the surrounding camp tents for me, and then you can come and fight with me after you are done! The enemy army here will be handed over to me-" Zhou Yu urged his horse to enter the Yellow Turban barracks, and met a Yellow Turban Army marshal who came out of the camp tent, and he shouted and immediately shot the little marshal in the chest, and the little marshal bloomed like a flower in his chest and fell to the ground staggeringly.
The surrounding Yellow Turban Army saw Zhou Yu's general dress and rushed to kill Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu condescendingly stabbed a spear to the left and stabbed it, and killed the Yellow Turban soldiers who leaned into him on their backs, and in a short period of time, more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers died under Zhou Yu's hands, and their silver armor and white cloak were stained with blood, and there were countless soldiers who were stabbed by Zhou Yu. The surrounding Yellow Turban soldiers surrounded the fierce Zhou Yu with weapons, wanting to go but not daring to go - and the soldiers brought in by Zhou Yu were also fighting with the Yellow Turban Army.
"The granary is on fire - put out the fire!" Suddenly, a burst of fire broke out on the west side of the camp where grain and grass were hoarded, and then half of the sky was reflected red-seeing the grain depot burned, the Yellow Turban Army suddenly panicked, what are they soldiers and thieves for? In order to fill their stomachs and have food, most people are stunned in the local area.
"You bastards - what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and put out the fire, the rest of the people will kill this group of officers and soldiers with me, they are not many in number, quickly surround them, grab the horseback and reward fifty stones, and promote him to be a little handsome! Kill-" The rest of the little marshals looked at the fire in the place where the grain was stored, and they were also very anxious in their hearts, and while sending people to extinguish the fire, they wanted to take down all these few officers and soldiers, and it was indeed 10,000 to 4,000 The chance of winning is still very good!
"Dashuai - fortunately, the grain here has been burned, what should we do next?" Jiang Qin was covered in blood and came to Zhou Yu with the soldiers behind him to kill through the encirclement, and at this time many corpses had fallen around Zhou Yu, including the Yellow Turban Army and the Yangzhou Army on his side. He came all the way and looked at the battle situation, and he already felt that it was already in a state of stalemate, and no one could help anyone for a while? For Zhou Yu, who is at a disadvantage in terms of troops, it is not a good phenomenon! If you want to escape after waiting for the other party to put out the fire, you are really trapped here.
"Gong Yi, Zhou An, quickly Mingjin gathered people and horses to prepare to kill-" Zhou Yu saw that his goal had been achieved, so he no longer fell in love with the battle, forced back the Yellow Turban Army on the encirclement, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the camp gate, and the Yangzhou army behind heard Mingjin's voice and retreated with Zhou Yu and them.
"Stand all on—poor Kou Mo Chase! Quickly extinguish the fire in the camp and strictly prevent the other party from stealing the camp again-" The beautiful words of the little handsomes in the Yellow Turban Army are actually afraid of death for their own timidity, they have seen the courage of Zhou Yu and Jiang Qin, and the little handsomes here together have no one enemy. In addition, if there is an ambush by the Yangzhou army outside the camp, wouldn't that be a loss of life? At this time, it is still important to save your life, and the others will not be considered first, and they can't beat it anyway - the little marshals present all have this idea in their hearts, so Zhou Yu and they stopped after running less than three miles, and saw that there were no pursuers behind them, so Zhou Yu ordered to rest on the spot and sent a team of men and horses to guard the periphery.
"My lord, I have already counted the number of people, and the four thousand men and horses we brought with us have lost more than 300 people, more than 100 seriously injured, and more than 500 lightly injured." Jiang Qin, who had a dark face, came to Zhou Yu, and he reported the casualties this time.
"Childe, let's drink saliva first!" Zhou An also slowly approached Zhou Yu and handed him a water bladder, but his arm was wrapped in a piece of bleeding gauze.
"Zhou An, what's going on? Injured? Zhou Yu was a little dissatisfied with this raid, the number of casualties was a bit large, and he found that these soldiers were still fighting on their own, and it seemed that they needed to take time to repair themselves. But now is not the time, next he needs to follow Guo Jia's next plan to go to the granary at the north gate, and he probably guessed Guo Jia's intentions.
"It's okay, I was accidentally bitten by the cold arrow of the yellow turban thief!" Zhou An also had a dark face, but looking at the strength of his words, he really didn't look like a seriously injured person.
"The order - the wounded soldiers immediately return to the temporary camp to rest, and send three hundred soldiers to protect the safety of the camp. The others rested for half an hour and then set off with Ben Shuai! You've all done well this time, brothers, you're glad to be miserable!"
