In the valley where the Yellow Turban Army was piling up grain and grass, Sergeant Youzhou was counting the amount of grain in the valley.

The snowflakes flying in the sky fell from the sky, like catkins flying, and the wind came from the north, blowing on people's bodies and faces, like sharp cold knives, making people feel pain.

After the soldiers of Youzhou successfully raided the grain of the Yellow Turban Army, they burned part of it, and at the same time left a part, and the grain was still in the valley, while the soldiers of Youzhou were camped outside the valley.

The winter sky was very cloudy very quickly, but at the end of the Shen period, I saw that the sky had begun to gradually darken.

In the mountains and forests not far from the valley, an elite Yellow Turban Army of about 20,000 has quietly lurked.

The leader of the Yellow Turban Army is a capable general who has recently been promoted by Xu He, although he is only eighteen years old, he is deeply relied on by Xu He.

It is really because although this person is young, he is brave and powerful, and his ability to fight in the mountains and on foot is second to none in the Yellow Turban Army.

This young leader of the Yellow Turban Army is called Zhou Cang.

Although the whole sky did not see much light as time passed, the Yellow Turban Army hiding in the mountains and forests did not light the torches, because they wanted to ensure that their actions were secretive, so they did not dare to illuminate this place, lest they be seen by Guan Yu's men.

Although Zhou Cang, who was standing on a high place, had good eyesight, he still couldn't completely see the situation in Guan Yu's camp in the case of insufficient light.

But he already knew in his mind the situation of the enemy army and the deployment of the camp.

Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan secretly attacked the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban Army, which almost made Sima Ju and Xu He desperate, but then, they heard the news that this army of soldiers and horses who went south from the north and suddenly entered the border of Youzhou only burned part of the grain and grass.

The rest of the grain and grass were still piled up in the valley, and Guan Yu erected a large village in front of the valley and arranged strong defensive objects such as rejecting deer.

Whether the other party wants to confiscate the grain and grass, or wants to use the grain and grass to lure them back to seize it, they have to come.

After all, it's about the survival of the Yellow Turban Army, and since there is still a glimmer of hope, then you must try it!

The grain and grass are gone, and the fate of millions of people can be imagined!

A total collapse could be just around the corner of the day.

It's just that Sima Ju and Xu He didn't dare to suddenly mobilize an army to attack, the grain and grass are gone, winter is coming, whether it is Liu Jian and Liu Yu or Tao Qian and Zang Ba in the south, they are now ready to move the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

The Yellow Turban Army is now taking a wrong step, and the result may be annihilation!

Therefore, Xu He decided to send his descendant young Yellow Turban leader Zhou Cang, leading 20,000 elite men and horses, to secretly attack.

At this moment, the Yellow Turban already knew that the soldiers and horses who had copied their back road were Guan Yu, the commander of the Liaodong vassal state who came here from Youzhou, and Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry, who were currently the two most famous generals in the north of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army allocated to Zhou Cang this time are all quite strong young soldiers among the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.

For Sima Ju and Xu He, they really don't have time!

The two of them continued to command the various units of the Yellow Turban Army to feign confrontation with Liu Jian and Liu Yu, so as to attract the attention of the officers and troops of all parties in Qingzhou, and also to create a good opportunity for Zhou Cang, who secretly attacked Guan Yu.

Although Zhou Cang is young, he is not impulsive, he has also heard of the reputation of Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and knows that when it comes to skills, he is by no means the opponent of the two famous generals in Youzhou.

In particular, Guan Yuwen Taowu's reputation is extremely high, and Zhou Cang does not dare to ignore it.

Although Xu He urged Zhou Cang to recapture the grain and grass as soon as possible, after careful consideration, Zhou Cang felt that there was no way to defeat Guan Yu except for the sneak attack.

It's better to raid at night!

However, the armies that can attack at night are generally well-trained and accustomed to fighting, and the generals are also extremely experienced in battle.

Zhou Cang thought that he did not have the ability to command 20,000 people to successfully attack at night.

After all, the tactic of night attack is not something that can be succeeded casually, and the generals and soldiers must be able to achieve a very tacit cooperation.

Therefore, Zhou Cang finally decided to adopt a compromise approach.

He did not attack when it was completely dark, but when it was close to the middle of the night, and it was also the time for the Han army to have a snack, although the effect was no better than when everyone was asleep in the dead of night, but it was also the most slack time for the enemy army except for the middle of the night.

Seeing that the sky was almost dark, and the smoke of cooking seemed to be faintly rising in the enemy's camp, Zhou Cang immediately ordered: "Go!" ”

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, armed with weapons, began to emerge from the mountains and forests one after another, quietly lurking towards Guan Yu's camp.

And when the Yellow Turban Army came out of the mountains and forests and traveled a certain distance, Zhou Cang immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to move forward quickly.

The tactics of a sneak attack are to be stealthy at first, but when launching an attack, it must be done quickly.

Only by being fast can you catch the other party off guard.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army let go of their speed and ran, and soon came to the front of the camp of the Youzhou Army, and the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the front of the camp hurriedly sounded the horn of vigilance after seeing the arrival of a large number of Yellow Turbans.

At the same time, the soldiers patrolling outside urgently moved towards the gate.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The moth thief is coming! ”

Zhou Cang raised the big knife in his hand, rushed to the front, and shouted at the Yellow Turban soldiers behind him as he ran: "Follow me into the village and take the heads of Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

On the high tower of the enemy army, soldiers began to shoot arrows at the Yellow Turban Army, and I saw that the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed to the front were quickly shot and killed.

But these losses are nothing to the Yellow Turban Army, they have long expected such a situation!

Now, as long as they take advantage of this tenacity and enter the village to take down the main general of the enemy army, then they will win this battle.

And the Yellow Turban Army is equivalent to having a way to live.

Just when Zhou Cang and a group of Yellow Turban troops rushed into Yuanmen, preparing to find the enemy's handsome tent and take the decapitation action, an accident happened.

In the camp behind the gate, there was no panicked noise as Zhou Cang expected, but silence.

The smoking stoves as far as the eye could see were boiling on the fire, but there was no one next to them.

Zhou Cang looked around blankly, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

At this time, they saw that in the camp in the distance, there seemed to be a torch lit, and before the Yellow Turban soldiers could see how the torch was lit, they saw that in the depths of the camp, the dense torches were all lit.

This sudden light made the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army feel confused.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army sank.

This doesn't bode well, it's clear that it's a mid-mortem!

"Knock knock!"

A deafening sound of the Han army's snare drum suddenly sounded, and although the rhythm was slow, it caused confusion in people's hearts.

"Woooooo

At the same time, the sound of the horn sounded throughout the camp.

Although they had not yet gone head-to-head, the sound of drums and trumpets, as well as the torches hidden among the tents, had already reduced the morale of the Yellow Turbans to a minimum.

Just as Zhou Cang was thinking about how to retreat, a deafening sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the rear.

The snow on the ground, under the shock of the sound of horses' hooves, seemed to faintly begin to tremble.

Zhou Cang hurriedly turned around and ordered the team behind him to dodge a path.

Then I saw him squeeze backwards.

Coming to the outside of the gate, Zhou Cang's heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar.

In the snowy night, a group of elite Youzhou cavalry from two directions, towards the location of the camp at a rapid pace, those cavalry crotch horses, are high-headed horses, knights are also strong, murderous, at a glance is the elite knights who have endured the battlefield!

This is the elite troops that Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan are proud of, it is Wuhuan and Xianbei Zhuyiluo, and they will be terrified when they see Youzhou Turquoise.

Those Youzhou raiders came to the outside of the village, and they didn't rush to attack, they just reined in their horses, stood in place, and then bent their bows and arrows in unison, aiming at those yellow turbans.

The most difficult and frightening thing about the Youzhou Assault Cavalry is not their powerful conflict ability, but these sharp soldiers, each of whom is good at riding and shooting!

Cavalry's mobility, speed and strength are its strengths, but long-range attacks are its weaknesses!

But the Youzhou Cavalry is different from other cavalry!

The cavalry warriors who fight against the Xianbei alien race on the grassland all the year round are all good at riding and shooting!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

In the sound of drums and horns, the voices of the soldiers of Youzhou resounded in the sky, shaking the sky, it was the falling snowflakes, and in their shouts, there seemed to be some stagnation.

The number of these elite soldiers is not as good as that of the Yellow Turbans, but in terms of morale and fighting spirit, they are by no means comparable to the Yellow Turbans.

Even Liu Jian's Jizhou army is far from them.

You must know that these soldiers are the most elite troops under the command of Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan.

Over the years, the two of them have fought in northern Xinjiang, fought with Xianbei, and fought with the Wuhuan rebels, and fought almost all the time.

When it comes to the experience of the battle, they are not even inferior to Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers.

has not yet officially fought each other, and the morale alone is enough to make the Yellow Turban Army frightened.

It was at this time that in the cavalry array, a general holding a green dragon knife rode a blue-maned horse produced in Youzhou and slowly came to the field.

Tall, wearing a green robe, holding a cold saw, three long beards, a face like a heavy jujube, and an unmatched momentum!

This is the first general of the Han Dynasty in the north, Guan Yu.

This aura alone is enough to make everyone panic and move.

Then, I saw Guan Yu restraining the war horse and looking at everyone present through the bright light of the torch.

In the face of such a majestic figure, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army subconsciously began to move slowly towards the back.

Before they could fight, they were first shocked by the momentum and momentum of the other party.

On the battlefield, once the soldier steps back, the battle is basically impossible to fight.

Although it is only a small step back, it is equivalent to a sense of cowardice psychologically.

"Who will you be? Come out and answer with Guan! ”

Guan Yu's voice was loud, resounding in the front army of the Yellow Turban, echoing in everyone's hearts.

Then, in the crowd, Zhou Cang stood up.

"Who are you?"

"Zhou Cang ......"

When Zhou Cang saw Guan Yu, for some reason, he actually had a feeling that he didn't dare to look up.

In the face of the enemy's main general, Zhou Cang did not have any fear and hatred, but was ...... Heartbreak!

Guan Yu slowly raised the knife in his hand: "I know that you and others were all good citizens in the past, only because they were bewitched by bad people, or because of natural disasters and man-made disasters and were not given food and clothing, so they rebelled. ”

Behind Zhou Cang, those Yellow Turban soldiers seemed to be intent on moving when they heard this.

Guan Yu's words are only one aspect, and they have actually heard of what Liu Jian did in Jizhou.

I heard that Liu Jizhou is different from others, he does not annex the land of the low-level Qianshou with those high-ranking families, but at the same time, he can take out the land in the hands of the Wang family, and impose the method of "renting and adjusting" the ......, so that the low-level Qianshou people have a way to live.

Guan Yu slowly raised the knife again and said to Zhou Cang: "If you don't want to, but there are still two ways to choose, either do your best to fight with a certain person, or you and I will fight alone, if you win Guan Mou, I will let you go, how about it?" ”
