Just when the Yellow Turban Army had just defeated the cavalry of the official army, a small group of scouts quickly rushed towards Zhang Liang, and when they got close, the scout captain led by him turned over and dismounted, saluted on one knee:

"General Gong, 8,000 officers and soldiers of Qinghe County raided our army's camp, 5,000 officers and soldiers of Yangping County are going less than 30 miles away from our army's camp, 10,000 officers and soldiers of Anping County, and cooperated with the county defenders along the way to blockade Ping'an Ridge northeast of Qinghe, our scouts have not been able to break through the blockade of the official army several times, and the situation of the officers and troops is unknown."

Zhang Liang was shocked when he heard this, how could the camp be raided? How could the Qinghe and Yangping officers and soldiers have the audacity to suddenly come out? Could it be that the officers and the army have a unified command? Since the news of Zhang Jiao's illness and death came out, more than three hours have passed, why only the forward cavalry of the officers and troops in the direction of Quliang City arrived? The second brother was also suddenly attacked by the officers and soldiers of Julu County.

Not good! Something is wrong!

Just after Zhang Liang realized the seriousness of the problem, another team of scout captains in charge of the west hurried to report the news, the scout captain dismounted and saluted and said: "Report General Rengong, the officers and troops in the direction of Quliang City were divided into three roads two hours ago, and 20,000 crossbowmen on the east road arrived at the Qinghe River, and 20,000 infantry on the road raided Hulu Mountain, which has now occupied the entire Hulu Mountain valley, and 50,000 infantry on the west road bypassed Jingxian on the back side of Hulu Mountain, and are attacking the county seat, and the defenders in the county have been transferred by General Digong. I guess it won't last an hour. ”

Zhang Liang's heart was cold after listening to the scout's report, he never expected that the official army would set up such a large formation. It turned out that He Jin suffered two big losses in Jizhou Guangzong, and he was ruthless, although he didn't like Huangfu Song, but he had outstanding military achievements, and he was definitely the master who could fight, so he had no choice but to appoint Huangsong as the commander of Jizhou's suppression of Huang, and uniformly dispatched all the officers and soldiers in Jizhou, and be sure to wipe out the three Zhangs in Jizhou.

A few weeks after Huangfu Song arrived, after more than a month of preparation and scheduling, he finally laid this net, which was supposed to be launched half a month ago, but he heard that the secret agent reported that Zhang Jiao was seriously ill and his life was in danger, so he pressed the time to launch it, and it was to be launched at the most chaotic moment when Zhang Jiao was new and the Yellow Turban Army died, so as to achieve the best effect.

Guangzong is located on the west bank of the Qing River, ten miles east is the Qing River, there is a boundary bridge on the river, the northeast is Anping County, a mountain in the south of Anping County is called Ping'an Ridge, the mountain pass is the throat of the north, it is blocked by the Anping official army, but the official army guarding there is weak.

Jingxian in the north of Guangzong choked the gateway to the north of Guangzong, but unfortunately it is now occupied by 50,000 elite officers and soldiers, cutting off Zhang Bao's army from here and unable to support. Zhang Bao was at this time to divert the tiger from the mountain, the officers and soldiers of Julu County attacked Zhang Bao's camp and burned part of the baggage camp, and immediately retreated, Zhang Bao went back and pounced.

The southwest direction is the Qinghe River, the road is long and narrow, muddy and difficult to walk, two battles on the bank of the Qing River, the official army is the loss here, now it is blocked by the 20,000 elites of the official army, the crossbowmen are densely packed, it is impossible to forcibly break through, the terrain of the gourd mountain in the west of the Qinghe River is narrow, the large army can not spread, and it is impossible to break through, and the 20,000 elites of the official army are enough to defend the mountain.

Zhang Liang quickly convened the main generals of the Yellow Turban Army to discuss the front of the formation, and now there are two main directions to break through, one is to quickly support Zhang Liang's battalion, and the other is to break through the whole army from the direction of Anping County to the northeast. According to Zhuang Shaoyou's idea, it is naturally the most appropriate to break through from the northeast, the terrain here is flat, although there is a Ping'an Ridge throat blocking the road, but the number of officers and soldiers is small, and they are all local troops that do not enter the stream, and they can quickly break through.

It's a pity that Zhang Liang didn't think so, this time he came to Guangzong to fight for power and profit, but the elite did their best, and there were only the old, weak, sick and disabled in the big camp, where did he think that the officers and soldiers of Qinghe and Yangping Counties, who were usually afraid of him, rushed to attack the camp? The grain and grass of his own family are there, and there are many family members who accompany the army, even if he wants to give up, his soldiers will not agree, even if he is willing to agree, without grain and grass self-respect, the 100,000 people in his hands are like rootless duckweed, without a foundation, they will soon be defeated, this winter is already difficult, if you give up the camp, then there is absolutely no chance of turning the tables!

Huangfu Song has calculated this point, if the Yellow Turban Army really breaks through from Anping, then it will become a grasshopper after the autumn, at most he will spend more thought, just drive the Yellow Turban Army in the back, there is no need to fight, just the cold and lack of food and clothing in winter can exterminate the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, it is not so easy to force the Yellow Turban Army to return to the camp, just to return to the camp!

After some discussion, Zhang Liang decided to cross the boundary bridge to return to the camp, and the distance of this road was close, only twenty miles, and finally decided that Zhuang Shaoyou and Roger would lead the cavalry to cross the boundary bridge first and quickly support the camp; Zhang Liang led the army to the rear, leaving Zhang Yan to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he took Zhang Ning to follow Zhuang Shaoyou back to the camp.

It took a lot of thought to make such a decision, Zhang Yan had just taken refuge in himself, Zhuang Shaoyou didn't even say anything about taking refuge, and the current situation couldn't do without them, so he had to hold Zhang Ning in his hand, which was equivalent to having a hostage in his hand, Zhuang Shaoyou and Zhang Yan shouldn't run around casually, and at the same time secretly hated the waste in their hands, and there was no one who could get it at the critical moment!

Zhuang Shaoyou was unwilling, but there was no way, how could people not bow their heads under the eaves, and then look for opportunities, before evacuating, Zhuang Shaoyou sent people to set a fire in the Zhangjiao military camp in Guangzong, burning the entire military camp to ashes.

The boundary bridge, five meters wide and about 100 steps long, the river here is relatively gentle, but it is somewhat wide. The foundation of the boundary bridge is a boulder, the bridge deck is a double-layer log, because the Qinghe River often floods in summer, the bridge here is often washed away, blocking the traffic on both sides, so a hundred years ago Qinghe County took the boulder as the foundation, and then laid the log on the boulder, when the flood occurred in summer, the wooden bridge deck was washed away, the boulder foundation is still there, and the bridge is much more labor-saving after the flood.

Song Tie originally planned to break down the two wings of the Yellow Turban Army, and then outflank its rear road, but the capital loss was serious, and nearly 4,000 men and horses were lost, but there were only more than 3,000 soldiers left, especially the loss of most of the way to Zhuang Shaoyou, and only more than 1,000 people were left in the 3,000 men and horses.

Song Tie listened to the description of his subordinates, guessed that the commander of the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army was the young demon, and immediately felt overjoyed, General Huangfu hated this person to the bone marrow, if he could catch or kill this person, then it would be possible to make up for it, so he rested for a while on the side of the boundary bridge, and sent his men to lead five hundred people to run upstream of the boundary bridge.

The county magistrate of Qingyuan County, Yangping County in the upper reaches had already received an order from Huangfu Song to make a raft ten miles upstream of the boundary bridge, prepare fire oil and saltpeter, and wait for the arrival of Song Tie. Huang Fu Song's order was to let Song Tie let go of the Yellow Turban Army's forward, and when the main force of the Yellow Turban Army crossed the river, he burned the boundary bridge with a raft carrying fire oil and other flammable materials, and Huang Fu Song's army pursued and killed in the rear, Song Tie led the cavalry along the coast to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army that landed on the shore, and completely wiped out the Yellow Turban Army and fed the fish in the Qing River.

Zhuang Shaoyou and Roger led 1,300 cavalry to the boundary bridge in two quarters of an hour, Zhuang Shaoyou was in front and Roger was behind, because they needed to slow down on the bridge, so it took a lot of time to cross.

Just when the team had just passed through most of the way, Song Tie led three thousand iron cavalry to kill the generals, trying to take advantage of Zhuang Shaoyou's unstable foothold to defeat the cavalry battalion in one fell swoop. Seeing this, the cavalry battalion did not wait for Zhuang Shaoyou's order, and immediately under the leadership of the centurions, they quickly lined up a three-section arrow formation, while bending their bows and arrows, and when Song Tie's cavalry rushed to the front two hundred steps, the cavalry battalion was ready for battle and directly began to release arrows.

Roger's more than 300 cavalry in the back were a little flustered when they saw so many cavalry killed by the official army, but when they saw that Zhuang Shaoyou's men and horses were ready for battle, they were a little emotional, but they were also relieved, and they quickly assembled and set up a formation.

That Song Tie was the first to rush over, only to see that Song Tie was more than eight feet tall, his face was like a heavy jujube and his eyes were like a star, his black face was matched with a black beard, but he had a bit of a fierce demeanor, holding a big hammer with both hands, estimated to weigh seventy or eighty pounds, and saw Zhuang Shaoyou rushing over. The cavalry battalion sent three waves of arrows in a row, and immediately retracted its bow and launched a three-stage assault on the enemy under the leadership of Zhuang Shaoyou and other generals.

That Song Tie rushed to the front, but was taken care of by the arrow rain very much, left and right, and finally got an arrow on his left arm, but that Song Tie was also a ruthless angle, directly pulled out the arrow and threw it on the ground, raised the sledgehammer and killed.

Zhuang Shaoyou stared at Song Tie with a solemn face, he had been tired for most of the day today, and he had a fight with Zhang Yan at noon, he was a little injured, and his body was not in the best condition;

However, Song Tie on the opposite side was no better, he traveled for eighty miles for a long time, and then there was a fierce battle, and just now there was another arrow in his left arm, if he wasn't strong enough, he couldn't turn the big hammer.

However, the two of them collided together with the determination not to retreat, Zhuang Shaoyou raised his hand to test Song Tie's strength, and found that Song Tie's strength was infinite, although the Xuanwu style was ingenious, but it was also shocked to the numbness of the arm, and the sword was somewhat inferior compared to the iron hammer in the horse battle, this Song Tie's physical endurance must also be excellent, it can't be delayed, and it must be resolved quickly!

So his mind calmed down, and the artistic conception of Tai Chi swordsmanship was brought into full play, holding the sword high above his head with both hands, and a violent aura like thousands of troops swept towards Song Tie, Song Tie was determined, raised the sledgehammer and sent out his strongest blow with all his might, and collided with the Qiankun Sun and Moon Sword.

This time it's "Boom! A dull sound shook the entire battlefield, and the phantom was repelled seven steps before he stood firm, Zhuang Shaoyou held the sword in one hand, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth; Song Tie's horse was repelled seven steps, forcibly suppressing the churning of qi and blood in his chest, but he still couldn't hold back, a lot of blood spurted out of his mouthful, the wound on his left arm also cracked badly, his arms hung down weakly, and the big hammer fell to the ground, bringing up a lot of smoke and dust.

The officers and soldiers next to him hurried over to the rescue and protected Song Tie from the battlefield. Zhuang Shaoyou endured the pain, reluctantly raised his sword, and ordered to the cavalry battalion: "Kill!" ”

The morale of the cavalry battalion was greatly boosted, and they bravely attacked the formation of the officers and soldiers, and Roger's three hundred cavalry also rushed from the flanks to flank the officers and soldiers. The officers and commanders were wounded, withdrew from the battle, their morale was damaged, and they were rained down by arrows at the beginning, and the formation was scattered, but now they couldn't hold on to it when they were impacted, and they began to gradually collapse.

Zhou Cang took the lead in holding a long knife and slashed when he saw someone, venting his dissatisfaction, originally he saw Song Tie's blood boiling all over his body, and wanted to fight, but unfortunately Zhuang Shaoyou didn't give him this opportunity at all, so he had to vent his anger on the opposite officer, and when the opposite officer saw how the other party still had such a fierce person, he suddenly became timid, and soon collapsed and retreated towards the upper reaches of the Qinghe.

Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't hold on, and fell off the horse, Zhoucang Qinling quickly gave up the pursuit, patted the horse back, Zhuang Shaoyou helped up, and found a place to rest for a while, at this moment, Zhang Liang's main force of the Yellow Turban Army finally rushed to the vicinity of the boundary bridge, and in less than a moment, a team of Yellow Turban Army began to cross the river.

Zhang Liang did not charge in front, but his position was relatively high, and Zhang Ning followed with three thousand personal soldiers. Just when Zhang Liang and the others were just about to get on the bridge, countless rafts in the upper reaches of the Qinghe River went down the river, and in less than a moment, they arrived at the boundary bridge less than a mile, and all the rafts suddenly caught fire and crashed towards the boundary bridge.

Zhang Liang was suddenly shocked, hesitated for a moment, and then stopped the troops who had not yet crossed the bridge. The raft hit the bridge deck, and soon set the boundary bridge on fire, Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and led his soldiers along the river to break through in the direction of Anping County in the northeast.

Originally, Huangfu Song's plan was for Song Tie's 8,000 cavalry to attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Army, pin it down in Guangzong, and buy time for it to complete the encirclement. Then the cavalry went around to the back of the Yellow Turban Army and passed the boundary bridge, and waited for the Yellow Turban Army to return to the Zhang Liang camp, when passing the boundary bridge, it was blocked by the bridge, and bought time for the pursuit of Huangfu Song's large army, and then burned the boundary bridge with fire attack when attacking on both sides, and then the Yellow Turban Army must be in chaos, and then Huangfu Song took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and annihilated the Yellow Turban Army on the bank of the Qing River.

It's a pity that Huangfu Song calculated the general trend, but there are always some unexpected factors that cannot be predicted, such as Zhuang Shaoyou. Due to Zhuang Shaoyou, Song Tie's cavalry suffered heavy losses and retreated to the boundary bridge, only to be defeated by Zhuang Shaoyou and unable to stop the Yellow Turban Army, resulting in the Yellow Turban Army escaping northeast when the main force of Huangfu Song failed to complete the encirclement.

Although the Yellow Turban Army lost the foundation of the camp and was defeated, it was only a matter of time before Huangfu Song was defeated, and the grand strategy of operating for more than a month was destroyed, and he didn't know how many variables would happen next. If the Yellow Turban Army routs the troops in Jizhou and loot and attack the county seat, then their pressure on the imperial court will become extremely huge

Moreover, Song Tie's eight thousand iron cavalry is one of the aces of the great general He Jin's lineage, well-equipped and strong in combat, so Huangfu Song handed over such a difficult task to Song Tie, and Song Tie is not the type full of muscles, more or less Dong Some judged the situation, but he didn't expect to meet Zhuang Shaoyou, and then made a mistake, and it became an embarrassing situation today.

Zhang Liang's troops of the Yellow Turban Army plus the rest of Zhang Jiao still have nearly 100,000, and most of them are elites, although they are like grasshoppers after the autumn, they can't jump for a few days, but if they fight back to death, it is enough for Huangfu Song to drink a pot.
