Chapter 62: The Great War Begins

Early the next morning

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Bao was already ready, and saw that there were nearly 160,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, lined up in a phalanx of more than 30,000 people.

"General, can we hold it?" Bai Zheng, who was standing at the gate of the Gukou camp, watching all the actions of the Yellow Turban Army, asked Bai Qi with trembling lips and a pale face.

At this time, Bai Qi's face was not very good-looking, because it was the first time he had experienced such a battle, and it was at this time that he realized what a high state it was to be in the middle of talking and laughing.

However, it is also fortunate that their military camp is built on the terrain of the valley, which also makes it impossible for the Yellow Turban Army's troops to deploy all of them, and at the same time launch an attack on Bai Qi's military camp, otherwise the 160,000 troops want to attack a military camp that is less than 2,000 people defended, and it is still built in a hurry in only one night, only one charge, even if the martial arts are as high as Bai Qi, they will be crushed and scattered.

"It doesn't matter, the terrain of this valley is narrow, the enemy's army cannot be deployed, and a maximum of 5,000 men and horses can be sent for an attack, and our army does not have to hold on for a long time, as long as it holds on until the arrival of the main force led by General Huangfu, the task of our army will be completed" Although Bai Qi tried his best to calm his mentality, the panic in his heart was still expressed in his slightly trembling words.

But Bai Qi is not afraid, as the so-called soldiers are bears, they will be a nest of bears, if you want the soldiers not to be afraid of life and death, you must be a good example "Bai Zheng, pass on my orders, the whole army gathers and I want to speak"

"The last general commanded" and then Bai Zheng walked quickly down the camp wall and went down to pass the order.

In a short time, all the 1,700 soldiers in the barracks had all gathered in the open space of the barracks, and Bai Qi looked at these soldiers with nervous faces, although they had undergone the best training, they did not practice the big men who had been fighting for a long time, and how many soldiers had really been on the battlefield.

Therefore, the faces of these soldiers were full of fear and confusion, and it was at this time that Bai Qi, the leading general, came into play.

"Soldiers, cheer up, we as the last face of the Han, even if we die, we can't lose to a group of people who have just picked up swords and guns, although they are all bewitched by others, lost their minds before embarking on the road of rebellion, but we still have to wake them up, let them know the number of people, and can not affect the outcome of the battle, so I will walk with you on the camp wall, and fight with the enemy, until the main force of our army arrives, win the victory of the war present, tell me if you have confidence"

There is a good saying, the ancient Chinese people are the most simple and industrious people in this world, they are with their own industrious hands, so that the Chinese people in the present 20 centuries, the first 19 centuries have been in the position of the top of the nation, but the last hundred years of stagnation and backwardness, so that the countries that used to learn from our China everywhere have come to our homes to show off their might, but in the end, it is because of this group of simple people, in less than 50 years, the task that other countries can complete in hundreds of years can be completed.

And the soldiers led by Bai Qi were also composed of the training of this simple people, and for various reasons, they gathered together to become a member of the iron army inside and outside the Han Dynasty.

In the end, all the soldiers chose to believe him unconditionally after giving him an inspiring lecture, "Kill the enemy, kill the enemy", and suddenly the shouts of 1,700 people resounded through the valley and reached the ears of all the Yellow Turban soldiers outside the valley.

"Hmph, a force of less than 2,000 people, in front of my 160,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, is like a lone leaf in the surging river, and it will be swallowed up by our army in an instant" Saying that, the Yellow Turban General pulled out his "chime", and the sword hanging on his waist was suspended, and then the military camp with the sword straight up shouted

"The 15,000-strong team, listen to my orders to attack the enemy camp"

"Attack, attack" After hearing the order of the Yellow Turban General, Qu Shuai, who was sitting in the 15,000-man phalanx, hurriedly led the army to attack, and in this way, a great battle with a huge disparity in strength began.

"Are you coming?" After hearing the loud shout outside the valley, Bai Qi knew that the other party was about to start attacking, so he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly gave his order.

"It is rumored that I will order the first team to go to the camp wall, the second team to rest quickly, and the third team to stand by in place, and the horses will not take off the reins and do not take off their armor, and they will be ready to set off at any time."

As soon as Bai Qi's words fell, a team of 700 people climbed the camp wall in an orderly manner and came to their own positions, and then another team of 300 people led their horses to the open space in front of the camp gate to wait.

I have to say that Bai Qi's defensive task this time is really difficult, and there are three difficulties in this, one is that the enemy's strength has reached 100 times that of him, and even if the Yellow Turban Army is exchanged for ten for one, he can't afford to change it for Bai Qi.

The second is his large white camp, which was built in a hurry in one night, and the walls of the camp are made of wood and are less than three meters high, which is very unfavorable for defense.

The third is that he led a lightly armed cavalry, and he did not carry many arrows, so he could not shoot at the enemy for a long time, so he had no choice but to choose to take a short army on the camp wall.

Although the army led by Huangfu Song should arrive within a day or two, even if it is a day, it is very difficult to defend it, but if you give up, Bai Qi's plan can be said to be a mistake and a loss.

Then it became meaningless for him to leave Cai Yan and resolutely join the Han army, thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but strengthen his confidence in defending it, and followed the first squad up to the camp wall.

"General, it's convenient for you to sit in the town, you don't have to come up here, it's too dangerous" Seeing Bai Qi walking on the camp wall again, Bai Zheng, who was leading the soldiers to transport the rolling wood and falling stones, hurriedly came to Bai Qi's side and began to dissuade him.

"The gap between the enemy and us is so big, how can there be people in our army who sit in the rear, today I will defend the camp wall with you," said Bai Qi, and pulled out the scabbard of the sword given to him by Cai Yan.

Just when Bai Zheng wanted to dissuade him, the Yellow Turban Army had already marched less than 100 meters away from the barracks, and seeing that it was about to attack, Bai Zheng had to give up his heart of persuasion and hurriedly set up defenses.

"The whole army attacked" At this time, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, who led the army to attack, looked at the military camp that did not need to be defended by 2,000 people, and no matter what the strategic formation, he directly ordered the attack.

Seeing the Yellow Turban soldiers attacking so scattered, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, if the Yellow Turban soldiers were in order, the shield soldiers were in front of the archers behind, and when they entered the firing range, they used the rain of arrows to suppress the soldiers defending the camp wall, and then set up ladders to climb the wall to seek close combat, the pressure on Bai Qi's defense would be even greater.

"The whole army obeys the order to wind up the bow and arrows, waiting for my order to release the arrows" Facing the yellow turban soldiers who were pressed by black and had no offensive order, Bai Qi had a defensive strategy in his heart.

After a while, the chaotic Yellow Turban soldiers had already approached the Baiqi barracks, and all the Yellow Turban soldiers roared angrily, looking like they were bound to step on the Baiqi barracks, "Listen to my order to let go of the front row of soldiers in the Yellow Turbans, shoot at the soldiers in the back row of the Yellow Turbans, and be sure to clear out a vacuum area"

Facing the Yellow Turban soldiers who had already entered the range of bows and arrows, Bai Qi ordered his soldiers to take action according to the plan in his heart, and in this way, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army, more than 1,000 people and 100 people, was let go of the range by the Han army, when more than 1,000 people had just passed.

At this time, the follow-up troops of the Yellow Turban Army also entered the firing range, Bai Zheng hurriedly beckoned the soldiers on the defensance to release the arrows, and at the same time as Bai Zheng was light, the seven hundred soldiers who defended the camp wall immediately let go of the bow and arrow that had been pulled to the full string, and after an arrow was shot, all the soldiers did not stop for half a minute, and immediately took out the next arrow from the quiver, opened the bow on the spot and shot it out with the greatest force, so that the Han army only took less than three seconds to carry out five rounds of salvos.

"Stop" saw that he had achieved his goal and successfully divided the troops of the Yellow Turban Army, Bai Qi hurriedly stopped the shooting of the troops, just because he had noticed that the first squad was about to pass half of the quivers.

"Hey, I should have used a plan if I knew it, kill some of the Yellow Turban Army first, and frustrate their spirit, but I didn't expect to be soft-hearted for a while, so I put myself in"
