Chapter 32: Heavy losses

Jiang Qi, who originally thought that killing the enemy chief would turn things around, was disappointed, and in desperation, he had to join the war group again, constantly collecting lives.

As Jiang Qi entered the battle group, the rhythmic war drums sounded under the Han army thousands of steps away. Guan Yu, who is Sima, directly picked up a drumstick as thick as a forearm and beat the war drum more than one person high. Several war drums sounded together, and the momentum soared into the sky.

With the sound of the rhythmic war drums, the Han troops on the battlefield were a little enthusiastic, and at the same time, the earth began to shake, and the Yue cavalry battalion, which had been guerrilla outside the army, began to charge under the leadership of Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei, who had been holding his breath just now, was now on the verge of breaking out, and it was finally his turn to fight at this moment, so you can imagine what the result would be.

Zhang Fei, who was dragging the Zhangba snake spear, rushed into the enemy camp first, the spear kept flying, and the body of the unlucky Yellow Turban Army in front of him was constantly poked out of blood holes.

For each person he stabbed to death, Zhang Fei also let out a thunderous roar to suppress his tumbling blood and boost morale.

For a while, the sound of 'wow, yes' resounded in the Yellow Turban Formation, and naturally faced Zhang Fei's bravery, even those who were no longer afraid of death did not dare to resist, so that Zhang Fei, who was dancing with his teeth and claws, was like entering a no-man's land in the enemy formation.

"Jiang Bo, take you Qu to support the fourth brother!" After Zhang Fei picked out a yellow turban army in front of him, he shouted to Jiang Bo, who was brandishing a weapon not far away to command the battle.

"No, the third song will come with me 、、、、、", Jiang Bo glanced at his eldest brother Jiang Qi, who was advancing left and right in the enemy formation, and responded loudly. After saying that, he knocked on the horse's belly and flew two approaching Yellow Turban soldiers towards Jiang Qi, and more than 300 soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion behind him followed closely and rushed towards the enemy camp.

At this time, Jiang Qi in the formation was also a little overwhelmed, trapped in a heavy siege, as the beheading person and the leading general, he was the most seriously attacked, and now he not only had to resist the tide of attacks, but also protect the safety of the mount.

It is no wonder that whoever made him the main general of the Yellow Turban Army did not besiege him and besieged whom. Jiang Qi looked around and saw the soldiers who were also fighting bravely to kill the enemy, some of them had been injured, and it seemed that some of them had died in battle.

However, seeing that Jiang Qi was a little distracted, a Yellow Turban Army who thought that there was a chance to take advantage of it went around the back and prepared to sneak attack, but before he could get closer, he felt a tightness in his chest, and then the person flew out, knocking down two companions by the way.

When his companion got up, he saw two bowl-sized depressions in his chest, and as the hole became known, it turned out that this self-proclaimed clever guy had been kicked to death by Jiang Qi's hind hooves.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was gathering more and more, and if they didn't rush up, they would fall into the formation, Jiang Qi pulled out the flying knife hidden in his hem and threw it at the two Yellow Turban soldiers of Jiang Yiming, the deputy commander of the attacking sword battalion dozens of paces, and then shouted loudly: "Yihong, follow me and prepare to form a formation!" ”

During Jiang Qi's shouting, Jiang Yiming, who originally thought he was going to die in battle, suddenly felt a great reduction in pressure, and the two Yellow Turban cavalrymen besieging him fell off their horses at once, and when they looked at it, there was a handle at the center of their eyebrows.

In this way, Jiang Yiming knew that his young master had saved his life, and he quickly swept away the Yellow Turban Army blocking the way, and stepped forward to protect Jiang Qi's left flank.

As Jiang Qi continued to enter and exit, soon a cavalry formation of two hundred people was assembled, Jiang Qi was used as an arrow, Jiang Yiming and Tong Fei were his arrows, and the battle formation attacked, and the Yellow Turban Army that was killed immediately could not form a formation.

Coupled with the arrival of Jiang Bo's reinforcements, Jiang Qi, who was in the Yellow Turban Army's formation, was like a broomstick, and when he walked there, it would become an open space.

Looking at Zhao Yun and Xu Huang on the periphery, because they were worried about Jiang Qi's safety, they rushed to the front of the military formation first, which can be described as encountering gods and killing gods and Buddhas. Especially Xu Huang, because he rushed too quickly, he fell into the formation, and the war horses under his crotch were cut into meat sauce.

Fortunately, when he fell off the horse, Xu Huang rolled to avoid the enemy's edge, and then the carp stood up, and the cavalry battle was changed to foot combat, and the drip of a board axe was not leaking, and the corpses of the recruiters were incomplete.

Covered in blood, Xu Huang, who was covered in blood and his cloak was knocked off, was red-eyed, and charged forward desperately, now in his eyes there is only Jiang Qi who is fighting hard in the battle, and he has sworn in his heart that even if he fights to the death, he will rescue Jiang Qi who has the grace of knowing him.

Under the influence of Xu Huang, Zhao Yun also went crazy, holding a gun in his right hand and a sword in his left, and every time he swung it, he would definitely take a life. In the face of the two people's lifeless fighting style and peerless martial arts, even the Taiping Dao people who are not afraid of death are also timid, and no one dares to take a step closer in front of the two.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhao and Xu not to fight for their lives, the Han army behind them continued to advance, and they were also red-eyed one by one.

As Jiang Qi said, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and as the gap gets bigger and bigger, the balance of war begins to tilt in favor of the Han army. It is said that there will be a will be a will to die, and the soldiers will not steal business, and today Jiang Jiajun is here to confirm this statement.

In the face of Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, who were pressing step by step outside the formation, Jiang Qi and Tong Fei who were fighting in the formation, and Zhang Fei, the killing god who was attacking everywhere, even how the elite army could not withstand the killing of the five peerless generals, the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.

The battle began at noon and did not end until dusk, when a Han reinforcement arrived. However, the arriving Han army only did the work of cleaning up the remaining mess and taking prisoners.

When the reinforcements arrived, Guan Yu, who had broken the three-sided drum, lifted the cold saw that he couldn't bear anymore and rushed out. The Yellow Turban Army, which was already defeated, could withstand Guan Yu's killing like cutting melons and vegetables.

In the face of the new forces, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was lost for a while, and only the unilateral slaughter of the Han army remained.

For the slaughter, Jiang Qi can't be blamed for being ruthless, after half a day of slashing, Jiang Qi knows that if the soldiers don't vent their breath in their hearts, maybe those recruits who have just joined the army will go crazy because of too much blood.

Of course, the Han army at this moment did not have sympathy, although many of them were still Yellow Turban rebels a few months ago, but after all, the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army was not a real Taiping Daoist, even if they were people in the same way, but they all came from different places.

Killing all the way, the Han army did not close until dark, and many of the Han troops who collected the team had human heads on their waists, and there were more than four or five and one or two of them, but many of them were carried back or carried back.

However, they did not die in battle, but were too tired, and the soldiers did not feel too tired when they first fought for their lives, but as soon as they heard the sound of the order to collect the troops, many people suddenly became soft on their feet, and even fell asleep directly holding the corpse on the ground.

In this way, the army of Huangfu Song, who arrived quickly, found something to do, and the newly arrived Huangfu army not only had to clean up the battlefield, but also to see if those wearing the armor of the Han army were still alive. In the past, cleaning the battlefield was to clean up the dead, but this time it was the first to find life.

After a night of statistics, the next morning the results of the battle were counted, Jiang Qi with more than 4,000 cavalry, 10,000 elite of the Yellow Turban Army, annihilation of the main general Bu has more than 7,000 below, more than 1,000 prisoners, the enemy only a few hundred people escaped by night, in addition to the annihilation of the enemy, the Han army also captured more than 1,000 cars of grain, grass and baggage.

However, despite the remarkable results of the battle, Jiang Qi's department also suffered unprecedented casualties, more than 4,000 casualties and one-third, of which more than 300 were killed on the spot, including six clansmen brought out by Jiang Qi, including a sharp sword guard, and more than 100 people were seriously injured and their lives and deaths were uncertain, and the rest of the lightly injured people did not have a month's cultivation and were difficult to recover.

This time Jiang Qi's department can be described as broken, when he took several main generals to inspect the wounded and sick, Jiang Qi's heart was like a knife, although he won a big victory, but now he can't soothe his distress.

But it's war, casualties are what Jiang Qi has to face, and the only thing to be thankful for in misfortune, the survivors have formed combat effectiveness, and twisted into a rope, especially those who are still alive after the war, as long as they still have the strength, they will carry back the comrades around them who were injured or killed in battle.

This robe made Jiang Qi happy, it was the army he wanted, a group of brothers who would never abandon him.

This battle also made Guan Yu and several people accept Xu Huang, and Xu Huang's loyalty and courage became the basis for convincing several people. At the beginning of this battle, Jiang Qi sat down and the name of the Five Tiger Generals began to appear.

Although Jiang Qi was not happy with this big victory, the rest of the people did not see it that way. Especially after the reinforcements began to retreat from the enemy, they all paid the price of more than 200 people killed in the battle.

In their eyes, in the face of more than twice their own elite Yellow Turban Army elite fighting for half a day, Jiang Qi not only won, but also killed more than 7,000 people on the other side, and more importantly, their own casualties were only one-seventh of the enemy.

In the face of Jiang Qi's terrifying combat effectiveness, even Huangfu Song didn't dare to say that he could have such a good record by charging head-on. However, after seeing Jiang Qi's troops full of wounded soldiers, Huangfu Song sighed with emotion and continued to replenish his troops, generally allocating the best ordnance, grain and grass, hoping that he would recover as soon as possible.

After appeasing Jiang Qi's injured heart, Huangfu Song did not deprive him of his merits, and once again asked for merit in a letter to him. It's just that the recital he handed over not only disappeared, but ushered in the holy decree to speed up the march north.

In desperation, Emperor Fu Song had no choice but to obey the order, but in the face of the messages in the army about Jiang Qi being suppressed by the imperial court, Huang Fu Song had to appease again, first promoted Jiang Qi to his own marching Sima, and then transferred a large number of his ordnance materials, let him temporarily guard the East County, and then go north after the vitality recovered.

After a short rest and explanation, Huang Fu Song took Xinsheng to officially set off on August Yisi Day, except for the replenished Jiang Qi army, with more than 20,000 troops marching quickly all the way non-stop.

However, it has nothing to do with Jiang Qi, as the army left, standing at the gate tower of Dongjun City and looking at the distant Daxu, Jiang Qi was thoughtful.

Just last night, Jiang Qi, who was helping the medical staff treat the wounded in the wounded barracks, was called to the Chinese army's tent. Seeing Jiang Qi coming, Huangfu Song retreated, got up and sat down warmly.

"What's the matter, Bo Xiaojun can be properly arranged?" Huangfu Song asked.

"Back to the general, thank you for taking care of me, the whole battalion has been rested, and it only takes a month to return to normal." Jiang Qi got up and made a big salute respectfully, not to mention anything else, Huangfu Song took care of him and could not afford it.

"That's good, it is much easier to have Bo Xiao here, but it backfires, Bo Xiao should know that the army will be pulled out tomorrow."

"Qi is about to ask the general, why our battalion has not received the order at this moment, even if my battalion is not organized, but the officers and men of our battalion are all willing to die, and the last general will ask for the order to be the vanguard and take the camp for the general." Jiang Qi said solemnly.

"Haha, Bo Xiao has this heart, my army is very lucky, and my Han is very lucky!" Huangfu Song got up and helped up Jiang Qi, who was bowing down, and looked at the polite young man in front of him, who was both civil and military, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Huangfu Song thought about it, and it seemed that he was still practicing at home when he was so old, but Jiang Qi is now in the world and martial arts. Patting Jiang Qi's arm, Huangfu Song continued: "Song also hopes that Boxiao will go with him, but there are more important things for Boxiao to do." ”

"Oh, please give the general the order!" Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment and said.

"Haha, okay, Jiang Qi takes the order!" Huangfu Song returned to his position and picked up the token and said.

"The last general!"

"Order him to be my marching Sima, lead the people of the headquarters to temporarily town Dongjun, and go to Wei County and Zhaoguo County after resting, sweep away the Taiping people in the two places, and after completion, I will be a teacher outside Guangzong City."

"The last general commands!" Jiang Qi was a little moved.

After receiving the order, Jiang Qi knew that this was Huangfu Song protecting him, and earlier information had come that the Yellow Turban Army had gathered troops on the front line of Yangping County, and the fastest way to get to Guangzong was to pass through Yangping County, but if the enemy situation on the front line of Pingyang was not annihilated, it was likely to be in a stalemate like Lu Zhi's suppression of bandits.

As for the relatively distant Wei County and Zhao County, which are also the weakest places of the Yellow Turban Army, Lu Zhi had already cleaned them once when he hurriedly walked by, and the banditry between the two places was not serious. As for clearing the two places, the main significance now is just to ensure the safety of Luoyang's ordnance, grain and grass transportation to the north.
