Chapter 352: Guangzong seeks profit and sets up an ambush
Liu Guanzhang and the three of them are all talents, Chen Mo didn't kill them directly, he still had to use them, if it was useless, he would choose time to completely destroy all the stumbling blocks that might block his progress.
Back at the barracks, Chen Mo listened to the report of the sentry and began to arrange, and in the middle of the night, 10,000 soldiers and horses sneaked out of the camp and ambushed behind the hills behind the detour of Guangzong City.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Chen Mo looked at Guangzong on the hills, this city is not big, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the big city of Qingzhou, but this is the only way for Jizhou to lead to Sili, Zhang Jiao does not dare to go to Sili to attack Luoyang if he does not hold here.
Looking at the sun gradually rising behind him, Chen Mo said to Huang Zhong:
"Han Sheng, wait a minute, you lead the army straight into the enemy's flank, once you defeat them, you will follow the pursuit, of course, it is best to find their baggage, remember to get it before the Han army, send someone to watch it and then go around killing the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I will lead a thousand spearmen to the nearby valley near Jingxian to ambush after the battle."
"My lord asked me to lead the army alone?" Huang Zhong asked in amazement.
Chen Mo nodded and smiled at him:
"Is Han Sheng afraid that he won't be able to do it?"
"Loyalty has the trust of adults, and he will definitely complete the tasks assigned by adults." Huang Zhong said in a deep voice with gratitude.
Huang Zhong's martial arts are strong and well-commanded, this moment is the peak of his martial arts, Chen Mo plans to wait for this period of time to pass on the Hua Tuo Five Fowl Opera to them, that technique has no combat power but can keep them at the peak for a longer time, and it is not easy to die of early aging, Chen Mo can't modify their special skills, which can make them stronger and longer, and he doesn't need to keep looking for any masters to maintain the leading general.
Because Huang Zhong gained Chen Mo's trust, his loyalty soared from seventy to ninety-five in an instant, which was also Chen Mo's unexpected joy. He looked at the large Yellow Turban Army that was gathering troops in the distance to prepare to attack Guangzong, and said in a low voice:
"The world is disturbed, we still have to look to the future, whether we succeed or fail is out of our own hearts."
Huang Zhong didn't understand Chen Mo's desire to compete for hegemony, but he could hear that Chen Mo's ambition was different from ordinary people, and he was only loyal to Chen Mo. Even if he was asked to lead an army to rebel immediately, it didn't matter.
Leaving 9,000 men and horses for Huang Zhong, Chen Mo led 1,000 people to quickly follow the trail in the direction of Jingxian, where it was already an empty city, but there was a pass that was no more than ten zhang wide on the main road leading to Guangzong outside the city.
The reason why Chen Mo wanted to ambush was naturally his plan, and when he hadn't reached the ambush point, the battle outside Guangzong City had already begun.
Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked, and the dense human heads looked black and oppressive, Huang Zhong took a look at the top of the mountain, where countless Yellow Turban troops wrapped in yellow scarves did not have the slightest cooperation. It's just that the Han army also doesn't have much combat power, so the fight is in full swing.
"Brothers, General Chen asked me to lead you to attack the flank of the Yellow Turban Army, this is the general's trust in us, and we must all hang our heads on our waists in this battle to win glory for our adults."
Huang Zhong raised the big knife in his hand and shouted at the army on the mountain, and the sergeants who had followed Chen Mo to fight in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban shouted loudly one by one, the strong men of Qingzhou were originally fierce, and they were led by a strong man to be a group of lions. But if Jiao and that kind of person take it, the lion becomes a little sheep.
Qingzhou fought a battle of 20,000 troops and defeated more than 100,000 people. Although the other party is only 350,000 strong, that battle has already played the self-confidence and domineering of the Qingzhou Army.
As Huang Zhong waved his knife and pointed at the Yellow Turban Army, the nine thousand Qingzhou soldiers turned over along the hills, and a cyan roar rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army from a distance. The sword and shield soldiers protected the pikemen, and under the impetus of the rain of arrows, they rushed forward in layers of strangulation.
Chen Mo asked the archers to shoot swords, shields, and spearmen to advance under this cover, advancing layer by layer to cover each other, which was the theory that he was familiarizing the soldiers with the coordinated operation of artillery and infantry that might occur in the future.
The rain of arrows continued to fall, and the spearmen stepped forward to stab the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the sword and shield soldiers continued to harvest the enemies wounded by the rain of arrows.
Qingzhou soldiers fought from the flanks. Directly made the Yellow Turban Army, which was originally just ordinary people, instantly chaotic, Lu Zhi saw that the opportunity had come, he let all the war drums sound in unison, and he personally led a team of 1,000 Yulin cavalry to slaughter head-on.
The Yellow Turban Army was impacted head-on, but the chaotic Yellow Turban Army had no power to resist, and rushed towards the gate of Guangzong one by one, which made the other Yellow Turban Army who wanted to close the city gate to block it also chaotic, when Lu Zhi rushed into Guangzong City, Zhang Jiao, who saw that he was invincible, led thousands of relatives to retreat from Guangzong casually and retreat to the east.
Huang Zhong chased and killed everywhere, and found a brigade of Yellow Turban baggage troops north of Guangzong, he saw that the Han army was chasing and encircled to the west, and he ordered the Qingzhou soldiers to encircle and suppress the baggage troops.
After a fight, the Qingzhou army has killed more than 15,000 people here, more than 3,000 baggage vehicles, hundreds of war horses, thousands of cattle, mules and donkeys, he asked 3,000 sergeants to send the baggage and prisoners back to the barracks, and then led the remaining thousands of people to continue to chase and kill the fleeing Yellow Turban Army everywhere.
"Is the heavens going to kill me?"
There are still more than ten miles away from Jingxian, with a jaundice and black lips, he rode on horseback and whispered, originally thought that he could still get a big victory in Guangzong, but he never thought that the Yellow Turban Army would be defeated in a battle today, and he could only lead his relatives to escape.
Seeing Zhang Jiao's hoarse voice and haggard face, a general beside him said:
"The general doesn't need to be discouraged, I have a million yellow scarves, although I still have a chance to lose for a while, as long as General Digong and General Rengong defeat the Han army in Changshe, wave their troops and go straight to Luoyang, kill Liu Hong and kill those corrupt officials, when the time comes, the general will raise his arms and call out countless followers, and what is the difficulty of completely overthrowing the Han family at that time."
Zhang Jiao shook his head slightly, the general next to him was named Du Yuan, and his skills were not bad, but unfortunately the march and battle were not only based on how strong his own force was, Zhang Jiao himself did not have the ability to command the troops, except for a swarm of bees rushing up, there was no strategy, which made the Yellow Turban Army, which had a large number of people, defeated again and again.
"Huh."
Just in a trance, suddenly an arrow rushed into the sky from the mountain, and then a group of men and horses rushed out from both sides of the valley, he quickly drew the long sword at his waist and ordered to defend, when the chaotic soldiers aimed their weapons forward, he saw a young military general riding on a horse and sneering at him.
Du Yuan rode his horse and pointed a spear in his hand, pointed at the comer, and shouted:
"Who are you, dare to block General Tiangong's way, get out of the way as soon as possible to save you from death."
Who is coming, except for Chen Mo, who was ambushed here early, there is no one else, he has already calculated, Guangzong is the only way to retreat into the depths of Jizhou, there are at least tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops around, Zhang Jiao must reunite the army to maintain, so he came here to block the way is to take the great merit of killing Zhang Jiao.
