Chapter 136: The Battle of Yangzhou (8)

"Order-you can copy the back road to outflank the Yellow Turban Army outside the West Gate, play the banner of our Yangzhou Army and my Zhou Zi Shuai Banner, beat the war drums for me, and we will announce with great fanfare that I Zhou Yu is fighting outside the West Gate at this moment. Ding Feng led a thousand men and horses to ambush outside the west gate, and when he saw an enemy army passing by, he could attack the enemy army in the rear road, and promised not to put one back. Gan Ning has an important task entrusted to you, that is, you take 500 men and horses to turn into the scattered Yellow Turban Army to find a way to infiltrate the army at the North Gate and the East Gate, waiting for an opportunity to kill or capture Han Xuan alive. Jiang Qin led a thousand men and horses to follow behind Gan Ning, as long as the signal was successfully released, the torch banner could be raised and the flag could start to make noise, causing us to have a lot of reinforcements, so that the enemy army did not dare to act rashly for the time being! Whether you can win the Yellow Turban Army peacefully depends on your Gan Ning's ability, if you complete the task well and relieve the siege of Yangzhou, I promise to give you a few drawings of building warships! Next, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Zhou An were left, and they led people to attack the army outside the West Gate, and fought to take down the remaining 4,000 people in one go. Give Cheng Yu a little pressure to relieve them in the city - by the way, Gan Ning, did you really block the 5,000 troops who entered the city outside the south gate in the secret passage just now? At the same time, Zhou Yu received the scout sent out to inquire about the battle situation, Qu Shuai Wan Bing with 10,000 horses was attacking the south gate with all his might, and the grove outside the south gate only left less than 200 people to dig the entrance to the secret passage, but when blocking the secret passage, as long as all the things that could be put were swept into the cave by Gan Ning, the people left behind were smoky, and the speed of work was as slow as possible. And Han Xuan really had some way, he really integrated the remaining less than 5,000 hot centaurs in the north camp with the 7,000 centaurs in the eastern camp, and his men and horses had reached 15,000 at present, and he was entrenched in the east camp to attack the east gate at the moment.

According to the battle situation reported by the scouts, Cheng Yu and Zhou Tai did a very good job of defending the city, and the east gate, south gate, and west gate were attacked by the Yellow Turban Army for an hour, and the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army were only about 1,000 people for the time being, and the Yangzhou army in the city also killed more or less one or two hundred people, and the already few cloud ladders were also broken by the boulders upstairs, and for a time the two sides fell into a stalemate. Zhou Yu's strength at this time has reached 8,000 people, although the Yellow Turban Army that has just been incorporated is still useless, but there is no way, although what he lacks is men, no matter how many of them, all the die-hard elements in the Yellow Turban Army will be eliminated and detained, and the rest will all be mixed into the 4,500 people they bring, and there is a former Yangzhou army leading a Yellow Turban to surrender troops, which is both a guard and a cooperation. This method is a bit risky, and it would be a disaster for anyone to turn against each other in the midst of a large army fight. But now the Yellow Turban Army is a rabble, as long as they have food and drink, they don't do it with whomever they do! There is a small chance of a mutiny for the time being, and anyone else who does not have a leader will be obedient.

"Lord-hehe, the last general not only blocked the secret passage, but also added a handful of materials to them, and smoked them for more than half an hour, even if they have no combat effectiveness except for the secret passage for the time being, maybe they can be smoked to death if they are not good!" Gan Ning smiled obscenely, he didn't expect that he would reduce the pressure in Yangzhou City by half by mistake.

"Haha-Xingba, I didn't expect you to be powerful on the water, and you are doing this thing of copying the back road! Things are arranged, and you can set off after a stick of incense—" Zhou Yu laughed and gave the military order to go.

"Slow down, my lord - the last general wants a soldier and horse to attack the Yellow Turban Army at the south gate!" Huang Zhong, who stayed on the side, saw that he didn't have his own share when he was assigned combat tasks, and he was a little anxious, after so many years of silence in Changsha County, he finally had a chance to get ahead, how could he not grasp it well? Qu Shuai Chen has been destroyed, but it was Dian Wei who grabbed the head, and he just captured the flag, and the credit can be seen at a glance. One of the remaining two Qu Shuai was also distributed to Gan Ning, the governor of the Navy Army, and only Wan Bing, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai outside the south gate, was not divided for the time being! This is an opportunity, and Huang Zhong sees this opportunity to win this merit in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, Huang Zhong still took the bait, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, his original intention was to ask Huang Zhong to make a contribution and then take the opportunity to promote himself to take charge of himself, although Dian Wei has not been in the Yangzhou army for a long time, but his courage and invincibility are well known, from the deputy general to the small soldiers, there is no one who is not convinced; Gan Ning was appointed as the governor of the navy, and no one criticized him, because the reputation of the Jinfan thief in the Yangtze River valley was too strong; The rest is that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are both veterans in the army, and Ding Feng is also a fierce general among the Jinfan thieves; Only Huang Zhong, who he wants to promote, is an unknown lieutenant of Changsha County, and it is difficult to convince the public if he wants to be promoted to become a general of a state and county, so Zhou Yu has been waiting for Huang Zhong to take the initiative to send him to the door.

"Oh, General Huang, do you know that the Yellow Turban Army at the South Gate has 10,000 horses at this time, and even if they will send some men and horses to support the West Gate, the remaining forces are not something we can shake now. I mean to take the West Gate first, if you lead the army alone and can't inflict heavy damage on the Yellow Turban Army outside the South Gate, the West Gate side will also be affected, and a good situation will be ruined. But if the leader of the Yellow Turban Army can take down the South Gate, the Yellow Turban Army outside the South Gate will definitely be in chaos, and it will be the last straw that crushes the camel at that time. Danger and opportunity coexist, this makes you think clearly, what I want is to only live and not lose! "The current battlefield situation is familiar and ever-changing, they exchange the least casualties for the greatest results, now Zhou Yu can allocate only two thousand men and horses to Huang Zhong, but with the experience of the past, Zhou Yu can't make up his mind in his heart, the men and horses led by Dian Wei are brave and good at fighting and sinking in the west camp, if Huang Zhong also goes back, he can't rescue Huang Zhong without skills, and the sneak attack on the south gate of Qu Shuai Wan Bing needs a brave and wise general to complete, He can go by himself, but if he doesn't have his own outside the West Gate, he is afraid that Dian Wei will not be able to take it alone, Dian Wei is a good hand at charging into battle, as the coach, it is still not good, Zhou Yu was also a little hesitant to hand over this task to Huang Zhong.

"My lord, the last general is willing to make a military order, if the last general can't bring the head of Qu Shuai Wanbing to meet, he is willing to sacrifice his own head!" Huang Zhong heard Zhou Yu's words and knew that his opportunity to lead the army alone had come, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground, willing to make a military order, as long as he was careful, those rabble would definitely be able to be broken by himself in one fell swoop. The 10,000 Yellow Turban Army is just like a chicken and a dog in his eyes!

"Yellow Turbans, how many men do you need?" How can you get a big victory without taking risks now, and the famous generals are all fought like this, thinking of this, Zhou Yu was determined and decided to let Huang Zhong lead the army.

"My lord, the last general only needs a thousand elite soldiers!"

"Okay - I'll give you 2,000 men, first of all, take care of yourself and your subordinates is the most important thing, only in this way can you kill the enemy! You are all the same, you can only defeat the enemy by preserving your strength, and rush forward to death with a fierce force, which is the so-called reckless man! Remember that you are the leading generals - go! When Zhou Yu spoke, he didn't just warn Huang Zhong, but said to Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin, and Zhou An.

"The last general will follow the teachings - drive!"

Gan Ning, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin, and Huang Zhong respectively picked up their men and horses and left Dazhai and set off in different directions. And the rest of Dian Wei and Zhou An followed Zhou Yu and went straight to the Yellow Turban Army that was attacking the city outside the west gate of Yangzhou.
