Chapter 497: Night Attack
After dark, the barracks began to have a curfew, and no one was allowed to move around or make noise! Li Xing stayed in a camp tent with several Yellow Turban Army, and in a simple chat, he immediately learned a little information about this Yellow Turban Army. This Yellow Turban Army is composed of local wealthy families, and its main force is also the domestic slaves recruited by those local wealthy families! Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao had a lot of followers, and these believers were not only poor peasants from the lower classes, but also many local wealthy families!
This Yellow Turban Army is composed of a part of the wealthy clans, so they did not shout like other Yellow Turban Army's big leaders and small leaders, but followed the military ranks of the Han Dynasty, divided by military commanders, uncles, captains, generals, etc.
The entire army totaled more than 6,000 people, of which less than 2,000 were the Yellow Turban Army, and the rest were refugees who swept all the way through the county.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion spread widely, sweeping tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people, but among these people, only those Yellow Turban Army are really combative, and the other Yellow Turban people who were brought together are simply the level of the number of people in front of them, once the main Yellow Turban Army is broken by the Han Army, the remaining Yellow Turban people can be said to be completely dispersed immediately.
At two o'clock in the morning, it was the time when people were most sleepy, there were a few slight noises outside the Yellow Turban camp, followed by the fierce sound of arrows, and the Yellow Turban sergeants on patrol fell several one after another, and before they could react, a team of elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty pounced on them and directly cut their throats! The door of the camp tent was wide open, rockets were fired into the barracks, and the place where the grain and grass were stored was immediately filled with fire!
Immediately afterwards, a deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded, and more than 100 elite horsemen plunged into the barracks like a sharp knife, killing anyone they saw! After the cavalry rushed into the camp, hundreds of infantry took advantage of the chaos to kill!
These Han Dynasty soldiers were all elites, and after rushing into the camp, they immediately divided into three teams and went straight to the central main tent of the Yellow Turban barracks!
"Kill!"
"Sons! Take down the traitor leader with me! ”
………………
When Li Xing rushed out of the camp, he immediately found that the Yellow Turban camp that had been attacked by night was already in chaos.
The more than 100 elite cavalry led by him had rushed to a distance of 100 steps in front of the main tent of the Chinese army, and the hundreds of infantry following behind were like bamboos, directly tearing through the defense line formed by the Yellow Turban Army and attacking the main tent camp. Before the Yellow Turban sergeants who had just gotten up had time to put on their equipment, they were killed one by one by the big Han soldiers who rushed into it! The situation suddenly became completely chaotic, the Yellow Turban Army in the entire camp fought separately, and the Yellow Turbans who had just been brought in were running around, but instead of having the slightest effect, they made everything into a mess!
"The enemy is less than eight hundred! It's already in chaos! Li Xing cursed in a low voice, and then rushed out with his sword raised.
In ancient times, it was very easy to cause chaos and collapse the army when they were attacked at night, and those Han Dynasty troops were also carefully selected elites, and just a burst of killing had already divided them into east, west, north and south. Especially those Yellow Turbans who were brought up all the way, they couldn't play any role at this time, but they had already begun to flee because of fear, dragging those Yellow Turban soldiers who were waiting behind them into the chaotic battle.
"Eight hundred sergeants would dare to storm the camp of five or six thousand people! Who will be their Lord? Could it be that you have met a famous general in history? Li Xing thought to himself in his heart and rushed forward!
He looked around and suddenly shouted, "The enemy is only eight hundred!" Wait and come with me! ”
At this time, only by keeping the main account of the Chinese army can the defeat be reversed, and others could not see clearly in the dark night, but Li Xingqing clearly saw that the Han army that rushed into the camp was at most 800 people! As long as the commander of the Chinese army can stabilize his position, and then mobilize soldiers to besiege them, more than 6,000 people can grind them all to death even if they grind!
The Yellow Turban soldiers, who were in chaos all around, heard his shouting, and instinctively began to gather towards him in the darkness of the night.
But. Before Li Xing could lead people to rush nearby, he heard a burst of cheers from the main tent of the Chinese army!
In the firelight, a burly general who couldn't see his face clearly stepped on, he was stained red with blood, full of murderous aura, holding a head in his hand, and roared angrily in all directions: "The leader of the chaotic party has been killed by someone!" Don't you surrender soon! ”
Li Xing in the distance was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but say: "****! And so he was beheaded! In the daytime, his strength is definitely not so watery! ”
There are at least 1,500 people in the main account of the Chinese army, and the strength of that Yellow Turban Captain Li Xing has also seen it with his own eyes, and he was actually killed by that military general with more than 100 cavalry, and not only rushed in, but was also killed in less than three minutes!
"Who the hell is that military commander who is taking the lead!?"
The crowd was chaotic in the dark night, and Li Xing couldn't see the situation clearly, but the number of people who were 15 to 1 was easily decapitated in three minutes! The Chinese army is full of real Yellow Turban sergeants, and their physical fitness alone is better than that of modern special forces members! The regular Yellow Turban Army of more than 1,500 people was scattered at once, and there was not much left! It's not so fast to chop melons and vegetables, is it?
This made Li Xing also have to start thinking about the combat effectiveness of those famous ministers and generals in this world.
The Lord will be killed, these Yellow Turban troops have also begun to scatter and flee, the defeat is irreversible, Li Xing looked around, and saw that there were more than 100 people gathered around him, so he shouted: "Kill with me!" After saying that, he took the lead and pounced on the south camp gate, preparing to fight his way out of the night!
Sun Tzu's Art of War is cloudy: the siege of the master must be que, and the poor are not chased. This is what people often said later, 'three are missing one'. After beheading the leaders of the more than 6,000 Yellow Turbans, he immediately ordered his soldiers to divide into three and pounced on the three camp gates in the east, west and south. The camp was surrounded by wooden fences, and after taking the three gates, the Yellow Turbans could only be driven to the north gate like pigs and sheep.
There was fire everywhere in the dark night, and the Yellow Turban soldiers had already been completely confused, there was no commander of the Chinese army, and they didn't know how many enemies there were, many of them had already laid down their arms and surrendered, and some of the Yellow Turbans who were unwilling to surrender were led by various commanders, uncles, and leaders, and rushed towards the north gate, which was the only exit without fire.
