Chapter 63: The Final Battle (4)
A young commander in leather armor and a yellow scarf on his head in Xiaquyang City was leisurely patrolling the street with a small team of men and horses holding weapons, and when the young commander walked to a dilapidated tent built by a yellow turban soldier, his wrist flicked, and a stone was thrown out just in the arms of a person who was closing his eyes and recuperating and was also dressed.
After the patrol team walked away, the person who had closed his eyes turned around and hid in the shadows, and soon disappeared, and the same scene as him was still appearing in every corner of Quyang City at this moment.
Half an hour later, a group of Yellow Turban soldiers gathered in the dilapidated compound in the east of Xiaquyang City, the number of which was not large, about three hundred, and the leader of them was the young man who was the commander of the patrol just now, and these people were not ordinary Yellow Turban Army scouts but Han Army scouts who had infiltrated one after another, and the young man headed by Jiang Qi was Jiang Renshu, the commander of Jiang Qi's Sword Battalion, and today they were also the first time they got together after entering the city. The only sign that they recognize is that every night after midnight, the person leading the team will arrange for a person with a yellow scarf to sit at the door of the tent, and the specific number of people entering the city is only known to Uncle Jiang Ren.
Seeing the hour, Uncle Jiang Ren opened his mouth and asked, "Is there enough people?"
"Tell Commander Jiang, there are a lot of three hundred people," said another young man who had returned after counting the numbers, and this person was not him, it was Liao Hua and Liao Yuanjian, the Yellow Turban generals who had taken refuge in Jiang Qi.
After receiving an accurate answer, Uncle Jiang Ren nodded with satisfaction and signaled to Liao Hua, then took out a secret letter and said: "Thank you for your hard work, okay, now read out the order of the lord general", looking at the secret letter in Uncle Jiang Ren's hand, everyone present knew that the time for the decisive battle had come, and they would be a sharp sword hidden by the Han army in the enemy camp, and their task was to 'behead'.

In the Han army array, Jiang Qi boarded the war horse and looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Gongda's weather is good today, there are no dark clouds."
Xun You tasted Jiang Qi's words and replied, "Maybe, but it is impossible to have a clear sky anymore."
"At least there is no storm now, isn't it, as for whether there will be that in the future, who knows, don't they all say that there are unforeseen storms and clouds in the sky" Jiang Qi smiled bitterly.
"Yes, tomorrow may be a sunny day, not necessarily" Xun You also smiled and looked at Jiang Qi.
"Perhaps, who knows, mutterγγγγγγ" Jiang Qi said noncommittally, and then hit the horse and walked out of the gate, and then Xun You also followed the belly of the horse out of the camp, as the only literati left in the army, Xun You is also dressed in military uniform today, and the sword on the battlefield is not long-sighted, although the armor is very heavy, he still has to wear it.
As Jiang Qi walked out, soon a neatly formed army of tens of thousands appeared outside the city of Xiaquyang, the banners in the sky, the neat torrent of steel all showed the strength of the Han army, many soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army on the city tower who saw so many murderous Han soldiers for the first time unconsciously trembled a little, especially Jiang Qi deliberately played a lot of banners, which were originally more than 20,000 people in formation, but now it looks like it has doubled.
Seeing so many Han troops attacking, the commander of the Han army guarding the door did not dare to slack off, and rushed into Zhang Bao's mansion in a panic, Zhang Bao, who was still sleeping with two beautiful women in his arms, heard tens of thousands of people attacking, and regained his calm after a short panic, and thought that the Han army was in a hurry and was ready to attack the city.
It's no wonder that these days Zhang Bao is fighting the Han army without the power to fight back, his continuous battle is his arrogant capital, after the two Mei Ji put on good armor for him to play a little bit Zhang Bao walked up to the city tower in a hurry, when he arrived at the moment of the city tower looking at the sky full of flags full of confidence Zhang Bao was also startled, he had never seen such a large Han army camp, but when he saw the Chinese army after the original panic turned into anger, the banner on the big plate let Zhang Bao know who is coming today, in the face of killing brothers, Zhang Bao, the enemy of his younger brother, lost his mind at once, ignored Yan Zheng's persuasion at all, and after leaving only 5,000 elites to defend the city, he rushed towards the Han army with more than 50,000 troops.
Zhang Bao, who went out of the city this time, did not have the leisure to call the formation, and rushed out directly, not talking about the formation, not talking about strategy, for the Yellow Turban Army, this kind of fighting seems to have Jiang Qi already seen, and there is nothing new, dozens of large and small battles have long created Jiang Qi's character in danger, in the face of the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, he just waved the command flag at will, and soon got the Han army of Daxu's order, first lined up the rejection array, and then waited with bows and arrows.
A few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army, which had won a lot of battles, was still silent in the excitement, and the full load of those days was subconsciously they had already regarded the Han Army as a local chicken and a dog, and in the face of the Han Army's array, they didn't care about the impact of each one, and it was also this kind of impact that with the sound of the Han Army's 'pop', the rain of arrows in the sky was even if thousands of people were knocked down.
However, in the face of the temptation of the Han army's fine weapons and good armor, the Yellow Turban Army, which was bent on snatching, did not retreat, but stepped up its charge, and soon after the Yellow Turban Army paid the price of thousands of people, the two armies collided together, and the two armies clashed for a moment, like a torrent hitting the embankment, and blood splashed for a while.
With the sound of screams, the two armies fought together, but after a short confrontation, the two armies were not intertwined, when the Yellow Turban Army hit the Han army camp after a stick of incense, the Han army began to retreat in an orderly manner, seeing the Han army Zhang Bao who was constantly retreating, excited, under the impetus of hatred, Zhang Bao continued to urge the army to advance, compared to the Han army that retreated in an orderly manner, the Yellow Turban Army was completely a group of bandits at the moment, as long as the Han army sergeant fell, the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still cooperating with the killing of the enemy just now would definitely leave their companions and start to coax the Han army equipment.
Especially when the Han army retreated from the original big tent and began to speed up and escape, looking at the grain and grass falling in the Han army's big tent, the Yellow Turban Army with a large number of equipment no longer obeyed the command and began to loot more, and finally stopped after Zhang Bao ordered to kill dozens of people, but the next moment the Yellow Turban Army who was still regretting that they didn't grab too many things was excited, it turned out that the Han army threw away a lot of materials along the way after escaping, and a cart of grain poured on the official road and flags thrown away became their trophies.
Jiang Qi, who was fighting and retreating, shouted to the sect member who commanded the army not far away: "General Zong",
Hearing Jiang Qi's voice, the sect member hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The last general, the general has orders and orders."
When the sect member approached, Jiang Qi looked at the somewhat chaotic army and ordered loudly: "Pass the order, the team should not drag on too long, and the speed should not be too fast, just gather with the enemy army for a mile, and in addition to weapons and armor, throw it away, do it like a little."
"No, the last general can do it" After receiving the order, the sect member hurriedly beat his horse and left, and soon according to Jiang Qi's instructions, the army slowly approached, and the speed decreased a lot, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was still desperately coaxing the material just now, saw that the formation of the Han army slowed down at this moment, and rushed up one by one, like a hungry person seeing food.
Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army began to accelerate, Jiang Qi smiled with satisfaction, and then said to the eagle slave who was dragging a big white eagle on his arm among the soldiers beside him, "Eagle slave, let go of the white eagle and see if General Zhao and others are ready."
"Yes, master," the eagle slave said respectfully, took out the fast meat from his arms and threw it to the white eagle, and pointed to the sky, the white eagle got the command 'whoosh' and rushed to the sky, and then the eagle slave put a bamboo flute in his mouth and blew out a few commands, and the white eagle with a wingspan of more than two meters at a height of thousands of meters circled twice and flew towards the southwest, and soon flew back about a stick of incense, and made a very sharp cry in the sky, and finally stayed above the big silk and kept circling.
With the white eagle's cry, the eagle slave quickly understood the white eagle's message and hurriedly reported to Jiang Qi: "Master, the white eagle has sent back a message that there are a large number of people and horses hidden behind a hillside fifteen miles away."
Jiang Qi smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, and ordered again, "Okay, it seems that the time is almost up, the herald army will speed up after ten miles, run as fast as you want, don't care about the formation"
"No" γγγγγγγγγγγγγ
As the Han army stopped and ran out for several miles, a person dressed as a general next to Zhang Bao saw the Han army suddenly speeding up, and said excitedly: "The general is about to see that the Han army is speeding up, and it seems that he is going to escapeγγγ
Zhang Bao, who chased for nearly 20 miles and never caught up with the Han army, was on fire when he saw that the Han army wanted to run, so he immediately ordered, "It's not so easy to run, and the herald army is ordered to catch up, kill a Han army award, kill an official with a reward of ten gold, kill Jiang Qi and reward a thousand gold, General Feng" won in order to win a battle, Zhang Bao made a bloody capital this time.
Hearing the effect of Zhang Bao's order, this may be that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was still greedily picking up the things discarded by the Han army, began a formal pursuit, and chased it out for nearly ten miles in one breath.
The Yellow Turban Army, who rushed to the front, saw the fellow villager who suddenly appeared next to him and asked in surprise: "Bolt, the knife in your hand is good, when did you pick it up?"
The man known as the bolt looked at his fellow countryman Qiangzi, who turned out to be a blood-stained battle robe, smiled and raised the weapon in his hand and said: "The armor on Brother Qiangzi's body that I picked up in the Han military camp just now is not as good as the armor on Brother Qiangzi, it seems that I just won it."
"Just now with a few brothers surrounded a wounded Han army, that kid is also very powerful, missing an arm and wounded our army, two people were killed, but unfortunately the helmet was snatched by others, or γγγγ wait for us to besiege one person together, and then I will also rob you of a piece of armor" said Qiangzi patted his armor and said with a smile, "Don't say that this armor is quite good, just now a stray arrow hit the body and was bounced away, and there were no injured people"
"That's a good feeling, it's up to my brother then" Of course, the bolt wearing only cloth armor on his body will not miss the opportunity, looking at the Han army running farther and farther, the two can't help but speed up, and at the same time can't help but complain in their hearts about what these Han soldiers eat How can they run so fast, aren't they tired.
One mile γγγγγ two milesγγγ I don't know how long it took to run, and even when the pretentious strongman began to tremble, he spat and scolded, "Damn, these Han troops can't fight, they run very fastγγγ"
"I can't do it anymore, whoever wants to take the armor, and if I run again, I'll die," the bolt on the side directly stuck the knife on the ground and gasped.
Of course, not only the two of them felt depressed, but seven or eight out of ten people in the Yellow Turban Army had this idea at the moment, this group of Han troops was too capable of running, and they had run for thirty miles and still didn't stop.
Perhaps at this moment, the heavens really heard their prayers, and after a large number of Yellow Turban troops stopped to rest, the Han army also stopped, but the Han army was not like the Yellow Turban Army who were all sitting and resting, as soon as they stopped, the Han soldiers began to form a formation in a panting, and the formation also began to turn, and the original rear army suddenly became the front army.
