Chapter 129: The Battle of Yangzhou (1)

"It's time - get ready for action!" Someone in the grove outside the south gate whispered, but the voice was somewhat familiar.

"It's time - get ready for action!" The families in several courtyards in Yangzhou were all armed, and the principals in the courtyards said such a sentence respectively.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and the black color hides all sins and washes away all sins. The Yellow Turbans in the grove outside the south gate had begun to slowly enter the tunnel, but they entered quickly, and there were less than a thousand people left in about half an hour.

"Du Du - it is estimated that they will leave one to two hundred people to guard the entrance of the secret passage, it is better to let the last general lead a team of people up to destroy them first, and you will press the formation in the back first! The most pressure is on General Ding's side—"Huang Zhong saw that the number of the Yellow Turban Army in the grove was decreasing, if they killed all the people outside, they only needed to use bows and arrows to suppress and rush into the tunnel, they would definitely be able to wipe out at least half of the five thousand men and horses." It's really impossible to contact the people in the city, and if you can attack both at the same time, you can bury all the 5,000 people and horses in it without much effort.

"General Huang - you go and collect all the sulfur and fire oil in the army that can ignite the fire, and you only need to take action to kill all the guards outside in a while, and leave the rest to me, I will let you see what it means to be cocooned!" Gan Ning suddenly remembered a more interesting thing, that is, the method used to catch groundhogs in the past, either irrigation or smoke; Now they have to deal with 5,000 men and horses, although this is not too far from the inner city of Yangzhou City, but there is also a distance of five miles, such a long tunnel ventilation is definitely not good, as long as something is added to this smoke, even if they can get out of the tunnel, they will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time.

"Good Rat-let such a grandson have nothing to do to rebel and harm the people, and the end will be prepared!" Huang Zhong quietly hurried to collect the things that ignited the fire, and after Gan Ning beckoned the little leader in the water village to come over and whisper a few words, the little leader smiled and turned around and left.

Dian Wei, who was hidden outside the west gate, also found that the east and north were full of fire, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu had arrived in advance, but it was too late Zhou Yu was really inconvenient to contact Dian Wei, and now at this time, there were soldiers and scouts from both families everywhere, and once they were captured alive by the enemy, the plan might be completely exposed. Although Dian Wei was also confused, he thought that Cheng Yu would be foolproof in Yangzhou City, and the firelight at the east gate and north gate was very likely that Zhou Tai in Yangzhou City had moved, and now the situation was unclear Dian Wei couldn't take care of it so much, calculating the time Zhou Yu and they were also coming, and after thinking of this, he beckoned his soldiers to get up and prepare for battle.

"What? The grain and grass in Dongying and Beiying were burned by a group of about 2,000 men and horses? And Beiying was still served? A group of wine bags and rice bags, more than 20,000 people in the two battalions combined, were actually broken by more than 2,000 people, and how many handsome people died? What the fuck are you guys doing at this station? Come—you're here to tell Ben Shuai? When Chen Wei and Wan Bing heard the battle reports from Dongying and Beiying, they were so angry that they smashed the wine cup and wine jar in their hands on the ground. On the contrary, Han Xuan on the side was more calm, he knew that the Yellow Turban Army looked at a large number of people, but they were just some untrained rabble, and no one could not hold the camp at all without unified command, plus Chen Yu and Wan Bing also had some martial arts, and they could only become a party commander after following the Taiping Dao for a long time, in fact, the two of them had no ability at all, and now at this time, they did not consider how to deal with the current situation, but were still entangled in the losses of Dongying and Beiying, which really made Han Xuan feel hopeless. But when he thought about it, maybe this was not an opportunity!

"Returning to the Great Marshal—I'd better ask you to come and have a look! The people of the North Camp and the East Camp have already fought in a scuffle! The Yellow Turban soldiers had no choice, although the two marshals were angry, but he still said stubbornly.

"Second child, what do you say now? The men and horses of the southern camp are estimated to have already begun to act, and now I am afraid it will be too late to stop them, otherwise you will take the people and horses on the north camp and the east camp? "Chen Xuan is still a little worried about Han Xuan, Han Xuan has always been currying favor with them, but Chen Xuan has never given Han Xuan the right to fight, plus Han Xuan is a civil official, although he knows some riding and archery skills, but he is still different from the people who fight on the battlefield, even if he passes, he may not be able to control the field.

"Da Shuai - the old man thinks that Da Shuai's arrangement is inappropriate, although there was a fight between Dongying and Beiying, after all, it is still his own people's affairs that make Wan Shuai a little overkill. The old man thought that tonight's action at the south gate was just in case, and he was bothered that Marshal Wan led the troops to go over to the town in person, and the West Camp could also live with you in town. The old man of Dongying and Beiying will take a trip to bring them back, the two camps over there have been burned and there is no need to garrison, as long as we go all out to capture Yangzhou City, everything will still be ours. The secret passage outside the south gate has been brought in by the old man's butler, as long as he connects with the wealthy families in the city, our own people in the city will reach about 10,000 at that time, and the defenders in the city are only 8,000 people, and they can only be captured under the absolute strength. Now the focus is on the south gate, the city, and the west gate, which can be attacked and defended! There are many people and horses in the western camp, and the Yangzhou army does not dare to make trouble easily, and the 10,000 troops at the south gate have withdrawn 5,000 men and horses, which seems to be a little weak. What does the handsome think? Han Xuan chose to speak at this time, just to take the opportunity to win the military power and form a three-legged momentum.

"Boss, Han Xuan is right - the wastes over there in Dongying and Beiying will let him clean up the mess, and if the South Gate is letting such a grandson sneak attack for a while, then he will explain all the brothers over there, no, don't talk about it - I really hurry up to see what is going on over there! I'll take five thousand people and horses first-" Wan Bing suddenly woke up by Han Xuan, put his words here and hurriedly put on his helmet, ran out of the camp tent with a big knife, and heard the sound of gathering people and horses outside, and by the time Chen Yu wanted to speak, Wan Bing had already taken the men and horses out of the camp.

"Okay-Han Xuan, then you go and run in person, how many people can you bring to settle the North Camp and the East Camp?" Although Chen Yu didn't believe Han Xuan a little, there was no way at this time, and there was really no powerful person in his hand for him to use.

"Big handsome—3,000 centaurs! There are 20,000 horses in Dongying and Beiying, and it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 of them now, as long as our identity is revealed, they will be more or less obedient. The old man took people with him-" Han Xuan's face did not change to hide the ecstasy in his heart, now that at least 15,000 of the 50,000 horses are his own, how can he not know how to control the army and control the hearts of the people after being in the officialdom for so long.

Seeing Han Xuan's face unchanged and retreating, Chen Wei beckoned over a guard and whispered and quietly followed. You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to defend people, such a simple truth is still clear, the army is the capital of his hegemony, without these soldiers and horses, he is really a fart and not a good fart!

"General-there are two teams of men and horses in the west camp out of the camp, about seven or eight thousand people!" The scout said as he leaned down in front of Dian Wei.

"Well-that means that there are about 10,000 troops left in the assassin camp, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers who have no combat effectiveness inside, they can fight about six or seven thousand, it seems that the difference in numbers is not very large, and it is worth fighting with all their might!" Dian Wei roughly estimated the combat effectiveness in the western camp, and the 1,000 people he brought under him were the old foundations of the Yangzhou army, and they were all skilled in Zhou Tai's Xuanwu array, so it should be no problem to rush into the battle. At present, the soldiers on Dian Wei's side are the strongest in combat effectiveness, and the first battle of Wu County makes Dian Wei feel that the Yellow Turban Army is just a chicken and a dog, which is not enough for him to see. Maybe there are 2,000 Dian Wei, where the world is so big! But this is really unrealistic, and it is a very bad thing to misestimate the strength of the enemy.

"And now—" The scout asked quietly.

"Herald - Attack!" Dian Wei only put down this sentence, turned over and took the lead in rushing to Xiying.
