Chapter 157: Divine Arrow Destroys the Enemy
Zhang Rao, the commander of the Beihai Yellow Turban Canal, was resting in the tent at this time, and took the initiative to surrender to the king of Donglai in December last year, but he was rudely stopped by Lu Zhi, the minister of Donglai. Lu Zhi is a well-known sage in the sea, why did he stop his surrender? It's not because it's the Yellow Turban remnants.
It's just that why doesn't he understand, if there are good days to live, who wants to cause trouble? Is it really as the great sage and good teacher, the general of Tiangong Zhang Jiao said, even if he is a wise man, he is also a meat eater. I only have my own power in my heart, ignoring the life and death of the head of the world?
Zhang Rao's heart couldn't help but be full of anger, and he vowed to let Lu Zhi know what regret was. So when Lu Zhi arrogantly sent troops to fight against the thieves, Zhang Rao was immediately unwilling to be weak, and went-for-tat, and Guan Hai singled out more than 25,000 strong men under his command and went to Yexian to fight with him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi was a famous man in the world, and he was deeply versed in the way of battle formation, although it was only two months, he made the Donglai soldiers look new and happy to die. In the first battle of Ye County, Lu Zhi led 3,000 county soldiers to block ten, Zhang Rao had a large army in hand, and even more fierce general Guan Hai helped, but he could not stop the attack of the Donglai soldiers, and he was defeated and lost.
Later, Lu Zhi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and fought with Zhang Rao again in the north of Dangli County, and won another great victory. Zhang Rao panicked at this time, although the number of the Yellow Turban Army was large, but they did not know the way of battle formation, how could they stop Lu Zhi's elite soldiers.
In the midst of the emergency, Zhang Rao suddenly thought of the legendary famous military master Sun Bin of the old Qi, and immediately asked Guan Hai to lead 10,000 elites to take the road to Donglai Huang County, and also come to save Huang County. Then he led the remaining elite to gather with 50,000 old and weak women and children in Lu Township and Dangli, and forced Lu Zhi's army, hiding the signs of Guan Hai's departure.
Finally, under Zhang Rao's forced forced 50,000 old and weak women and children to ignore life and death, like moths to a fire, the soldiers of Donglai County finally became frightened, although they won a small victory, but they also stopped the pace of attack, and then heard the bad news that Huangxian County was besieged.
Lu Zhi led the troops to retreat in a hurry and went to rescue Huang County, but left the people of Ye County, Qucheng County, and Xian County exposed to Zhang Rao's troops. Zhang Rao proudly waved his army to attack the city with ants, connected the cities of the three counties, seized a large amount of money and grain for military use, and coerced 70,000 or 80,000 people as thieves, and went to Huangxian together.
Lu Zhi was eager to break through the camp guarded by Guan Hai, and when he saw Zhang Rao coercing more than 100,000 people to come step by step, he suddenly knew that he and the host and guest of the Yellow Turban Thief had been transposed. In desperation, he could only retreat into the city and defend it, looking forward to the rescue of He Bai in Beihai.
Zhang Rao led an army of 140,000 to besiege Huangxian in high spirits, and although the ants failed to attack the city several times, more than 20,000 people were killed and wounded, but it also greatly consumed the strength of the defenders of Huangxian County and the materials for defending the city. Zhang Rao believes that as long as he attacks for another day or two, Huang County will definitely be able to go down.
It's just that unexpectedly, Beihai Xiang He Baiqin led 5,000 elite cavalry troops to break the siege of thieves, and the news that the army had arrived in Xian County was detected by Zhang Rao. There is also a member of the Beihai Xiao general, who charged through the formation on a single horse, and passed the news to the Huangxian garrison one step earlier, saying that He Bai would definitely arrive at noon on the day.
All of a sudden, the morale of the people in Huang County soared, but the morale of the Yellow Turban thieves outside the city plummeted. Yesterday's siege was immediately broken, and it was difficult to climb to the top of the city. Zhang Rao retreated back to the camp in a panic and thought hard about countermeasures. A Magi is so difficult to deal with, let alone another Magi with 5,000 spirits in his hand, this battle will definitely be lost.
Zhang Rao thought about it for most of the night, but he still had no clue, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and without a large number of elite soldiers in hand, how could she resist the continuous army of the court. After thinking for a long time, he decided to send Guan Hai to Beihai to make trouble, and he would gather outside Huangxian early tomorrow morning. Thinking of this, Zhang Rao fell asleep peacefully. It was only after sleeping for less than an hour that he was awakened by the roar of the camp.
"Could it be that the camp was bombed?"
This was Zhang Rao's first thought, because it was impossible to be attacked in a safe place. What's more, the cry still came from the back of the camp, and behind the camp was the sea, how could the enemy kill from the back of the camp. It may be that the first few ** forced ants to attack the city too much, and most of the casualties broke the heartstrings of the soldiers.
Zhang Rao thought so, and immediately went out of the tent naked, shouting that the Yellow Turban Lux was guarding the left and right, ready to light the torch and suppress it, otherwise, once it affected the front camp, it would be the time when the whole army collapsed.
Unexpectedly, before Zhang Rao could see the situation clearly, he heard a loud shout in the chaos, "Zhang Rao thief ......" When Zhang Rao turned his head sharply to look, a bowstring collapsed, and a wolf's tooth arrow suddenly shot rapidly. Before Zhang Rao could dodge, he had already stabbed into his naked neck. Zhang Rao was shocked, his hand stroked the arrow, the blood was full, he was silent, and he fell to the ground.
Huang Zhong raised his bow in the firelight and shouted, "The thief Zhang Rao is dead, and he won't descend quickly, let alone when." ”
The thief turned his head to look at the main tent of the Chinese army, and saw that the majestic Yellow Turban wrestlers around the main tent on weekdays were also scurrying around the main tent like headless flies at this time, and Zhang Rao was really dead. The thieves didn't know how many officers and soldiers there were, and they had no intention of following the Yellow Turban anymore, so they immediately knelt down and surrendered.
Huang Zhong didn't care about the thieves who surrendered, stepped forward and cut off Zhang Rao's head with a knife, ordered someone to hang it with a flag pole, and led the troops to continue to kill the front camp, vowing to kill all the thieves in the northern camp. Huang Zhong ran rampant all the way, with no less than 100 yellow scarves in his hands, and the entire northern thief village was in chaos, fleeing in all directions, and many of them fled for their lives in the sea.
Hearing about the thieves in the north of the city, Lu Zhi, who was sitting in the city of sorrow, was suddenly overjoyed, although he didn't know how He Bai arrived in advance, and how he avoided the eyes and ears of the thieves and launched an attack from the north, but Lu Zhi, who was good at military affairs, immediately knew that the thieves were tonight.
So he gathered his troops and horses, looked to the north of the city, and first cautiously went up to the city, only to see that the entire northern camp of the thieves was on fire, and the thieves scattered and fled. Immediately opened the city gate and led the Donglai soldiers to take the opportunity to cover the past.
Lu Zhi saw a general in the midst of the chaos, holding a golden-backed phoenix-mouthed broadsword, and his majestic appearance was quite surprised, so he shouted: "Old man Donglai Xiang, Fan Yang Lu Zhi is also, who is the general, and who is the order to come to rescue my Huang County?" ”
Huang Zhongyu immediately responded: "Duke Lu is above, the last general Nanyang Huang Zhong, is the minister of the North Sea, and the general of the family of He Jun, the Marquis of Longchi Township, is specially ordered to lead 4,000 foot soldiers to rescue the king of Donglai." ”
Lu Zhi was overjoyed and shouted, "Does the general still have any strength left?" You and I can join forces to break the enemy in the east again, and after dawn, it will be easy to encircle and suppress the remaining thieves. ”
Huang Zhong shouted: "The last general has just risen, and he is about to make persistent efforts, Lu Gong can command in the rear, and watch the last general charge and break the thief." ”
After all, Huang Zhong, Guan Cheng, and Jiang Qin rushed to kill in front, and Lu Zhi led the army to command and cover the killing, although the enemy in the east also had 30,000 people, but there were not many real Yellow Turban diehard believers, most of them were ordinary people who had just been coerced, and they were defenseless at all. Now that he saw the head of the thief Zhang Rao in front, he suddenly dispersed in a hurry, which smoothly made Huang Zhong unbelievable.
General Huang Zhong's three generals were in a burning spirit, and when they saw that the 30,000 thieves in the east had been broken, they turned to the south and killed. And the 30,000 thieves in the south are led by thieves and generals, and the sky is already bright at this time, and the enemy situation is clear. When Guan Hai heard that Zhang Rao was dead, he immediately led a large army to meet him in a rage.
It's just that although Guan Hai is brave, he doesn't know the way to lead the troops, let alone the method of the battle formation, and these 30,000 rabble thieves can't be controlled at all, so they can only rush towards the officers and soldiers. After walking for more than two miles, when he met the officers and soldiers who were killed, most of the thieves were still in the camp, but there were only more than 2,000 people on Guan Hai's side.
When Guan Hai saw the heads on the banner bars of the officers and soldiers, his eyes immediately turned blood-red, and he shouted violently, raised his sword and rode towards Huang Zhong under his banner. Huang Zhong sneered, Zhang Rao is dead, and if he cuts Guan Hai again, the Donglai Yellow Turban will be completely broken. So he ordered Guan Cheng and Jiang Qin to kill the thieves on the left and on the right, and he personally fought Guan Hai alone.
"Dang" A golden and iron attack, Huang Zhong's hands were numb, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, his own strength was already good, but Guan Hai's strength was even better, it seemed that this person was born with divine power. Huang Zhong didn't dare to ignore carelessness, and fought with his concentration and attention.
The two generals fought desperately in the chaotic army, and after the battle reached the twentieth time, Huang Zhong couldn't help but laugh dumbly, although Guan Hai's strength was great, but his knife skills were not refined, and there were many flaws, and it was easy to kill him. But his fierce and life-for-life style of fighting made Huang Zhong unwilling to fight to the death. After several more battles, Huang Zhong retreated in defeat, borrowing the speed of the yellow fat horse to open a distance of thirty steps from Guan Hai.
Guan Hai was furious, and continued to watch Huang Zhong chase after him endlessly. Huang Zhong put his knife across the saddle, drew his bow and arrows, and turned to look at Guan Hai who was chasing after him. When the arrow came out, Huang Zhonggui deflected the gods, and the sharp arrow came in an instant, hitting the defenseless Guan Hai's right shoulder. Guan Hai stroked his shoulder and screamed in pain, the big knife almost fell to the ground, and the whole person was lying on the saddle, knowing that he couldn't kill Huang Zhong today, so he wanted to turn around and run for his life.
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong, who had been prepared for a long time, took advantage of the outbreak speed of the yellow fat horse, and within a breath, he went twenty steps away and slashed at Guan Hai with a knife. Guan Hai was already injured, and he didn't expect Huang Zhong's war horse to be so fast, he was caught off guard by Huang Zhong's knife and slapped down the horse, and immediately several soldiers who were eyeing him rushed up and captured Guan Hai to death.
The two main Qu Shuai of the Yellow Turban Thieves were killed and captured, and the rest were all rabble, and the next thing was to take advantage of the victory to pursue. At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves rolling in the west, and countless officers and soldiers joined the battlefield at the same time, becoming the last straw that crushed the Yellow Turban thieves.
Under the leaderless group of dragons, the thieves were powerless to resist, so they had to kneel and surrender one after another. As the prime minister of Donglai, Lu Zhi immediately sent county soldiers to prepare for the surrender, and separated the newly held Donglai people, and the Beihai people who were held hostage in the past, and all Taiping Dao believers, were escorted away. Finally, I came to look for the Beihai Prime Minister He Bai and other generals who came to help.
