Chapter 278: Sudden Change in Wind and Cloud
The sudden fire behind him caused the Qiang soldiers to fall into extreme fear. The flames soared into the sky, emitting a faint blue light, as if it was a beast that chose people to devour, and then the wind quickly swept towards the Qiang people.
The scorching fire makes people feel hot, coupled with the thick smoke and roasting, looking at the gradually shrinking fire ring, some Qiang people can't stand the pressure in their hearts. Rush into the flames, trying to get out. But as soon as he rushed to the fire, his clothes were set on fire, and he let out a heart-rending howl, which spread far and wide in this empty wilderness.
Qiang people covered in fire rushed out of the firelight, and then struggled to fall on the burning red earth, which made the Han soldiers surrounded in the distance unbearable to look directly. The fire burned for two hours, and no one escaped alive, and the fire had already burned into the camp tent, and the battalion sergeants and men who carried food were also drowned in the fire.
Sun Jian took one last look back, leaving Huang Gai again, ready to collect Han Dang's corpse. And he led more than 10,000 soldiers to take advantage of the night to kill the Qiang camp in the distance.
The morning star flickered on and off, gradually disappearing into the clouds. It was the darkest time before dawn, and the whole Qiang camp was quiet. This Qiang camp belonged to the Qiang coalition army, and there were originally more than 30,000 people in it. At night, the alliance leader took more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and most of the rest were foot soldiers and some auxiliaries, plus it was too far away from the Han camp, so there was not much defense, but a team of soldiers was sent to patrol in front of the camp gate.
And these patrol soldiers have already fallen in a pool of blood. The soldiers stepped forward and opened the camp gate, and one by one the soldiers with spears rushed into the camp tent of the Qiang people, and stabbed the Qiang soldiers who were still sleeping soundly. Of course, there are also some vigilant tribes who rise up to resist, but it is just a stubborn resistance.
Until the sky was bright, Sun Jian came to the camp with blood stains all over the ground. In the open space of the camp, thousands of Qiang people knelt in the middle, some wearing single clothes, and some were even naked, shivering in the cold wind. Surrounded by a large number of archers, their bows wound and aimed at them.
"Big brother, more than 7,000 people were killed, more than 4,000 people surrendered on their knees, and some people fled to the west by night," Cheng Pu came to Sun Jian and said.
"I have already sent away the people who fled to the west, and these people don't need to stay" As Sun Jian's hand suddenly swung down, the bow and arrow were suddenly fired, and in less than a moment, thousands of Qiang people were all shot.
Sun Jian ordered people to clean up the battlefield and write the battle here to the imperial court, and the body of Huangfu Song was also sent to Luoyang.
Xiliang's battle report was being sent to Luoyang in an expedited 800-mile process, but it was rushed by Yanzhou's battle report.
In January of the fourth year of Zhongping, Guan Cheng led 20,000 yellow turbans to kill Yanzhou, all the way like a bamboo, the county soldiers fled in the wind, Yanzhou assassin Shi Qiaomao was surrounded in Chenliu, resisted for several days, the city was broken and captured, and he scolded the yellow turbans angrily, was hacked to death with a knife, and his head was hung above the city gate. So far, the four counties and four countries of Yanzhou have all fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban.
And Cao Cao, who was in Peiguo County, Yuzhou, looked at the battle report in his hand, and his heart was extremely shocked, in less than two months, Yanzhou had become so erosive.
"Big brother, it's time for us to send troops. Miaocai's cavalry is almost trained," Xiahoudun reminded Cao Cao again.
"Yes, it is the time for me to make a contribution, and I will order to go down and prepare to attack the Yanzhou Yellow Turban"
Cao Cao laughed a few times, full of pride. In the past two months, he has recruited 2,000 soldiers and trained more than 1,000 cavalry. Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Cao Hong also heard the news. made Cao Cao feel a lot more confident.
Cao Cao led 3,000 soldiers to kill Yanzhou, and in less than half a month, he recovered Shanyang and Jiyin counties, collected thousands of yellow turbans and surrendered soldiers, and then stopped, while writing to the imperial court, while recruiting soldiers. For a while, the heroes in the middle came to vote.
Guan Cheng saw that he was invincible to Cao Cao, so he surrendered to Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan at this time was also anxious. Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, and Chun Yuqiong launched a frantic attack from the north, and there was a Yellow Turban soldier who Liu Pi led two thousand elite soldiers to kill in Changshan County, and thousands surrendered to Liu Pi. However, Liu Pi stopped and retreated in the direction of Zhongshan.
Although Zhang Yan couldn't see Liu Bi's intentions, Liu Bi's threat to him was always the greatest, after all, Liu Bi was the old Yellow Turban Department, which was obvious to all in the Yellow Turban Army, and later surrendered to the general of Zhenbei, and now he is the captain of Shangdang County, which makes some generals in the Yellow Turban Battalion fluctuate.
As for Chun Yuqiong, she is a soy sauce player. Zhang Yan didn't pay attention to it at all, but Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was quite elite. Zhang Yan sent 30,000 yellow turbans to resist, but was defeated by 2,000 cavalry, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yecheng. Just when Zhang Yan was worried about Gongsun Zhan, a more terrifying news came to him.
Liu Beishuai led thousands of elite soldiers out of Yique Pass, all the way like a bamboo, even Keshu County. Vowed to surround the Yellow Turban soldiers in Wei County and Julu County. Zhang Yan was in a state of confusion for a while, and hurriedly found a group of generals to discuss.
When the generals heard the news, they immediately made a noise, some people proposed to attack Chun Yuqiong and go to Qingzhou first, and some people said that they wanted to fight to the death with Gongsun Zhan. But the majority of the opinion is to bring troops back to Montenegro and wait for an opportunity. Zhang Yan couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she dispersed everyone and went home alone.
The family came to guard and handed over a letter to Zhang Yan, which was written by Liu Pi to Zhang Yan, in which he was earnest, persuading Zhang Yan to see the situation clearly and get out as soon as possible, so as not to be surrounded and killed by the coalition forces, but at the end of the letter, he vaguely said one thing, that is, the holy woman is now here with General Zhenbei, and the general has always treated him politely.
Zhang Yan no longer hesitated at the moment, and took advantage of the night to take tens of thousands of elite soldiers and headed towards Montenegro, as for the other Yellow Turban soldiers, they didn't care much at all.
Without Zhang Yan in the north, the Yellow Turban generals were suddenly leaderless. Fighting separately, in just a few days, it was broken by the coalition forces, some saw that the general trend had gone, turned their heads to surrender to Liu Pi, part went to Yanzhou to join Guan Cheng, and one broke out of the encirclement and headed towards Xuzhou. Most of them were captured by Yuan Shao, who collected the surrendered troops and wrote to the imperial court at the same time.
At the gate of the north city of Ye County, Yuan Shao looked at this tall city, but his heart was extremely excited, although the yellow scarf in Jizhou has not yet been pacified, but as long as he occupies Ye County, then his Jizhou pastoral talent is worthy of the name. But let him hurry up all the way, he was still a step slower when he arrived in Ye County. The county seat of Ye County has been occupied by Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei is still a subordinate of General Zhenbei, which makes Yuan Shao a little difficult to ride a tiger, and I don't know what Wang Gang means.
And Gongsun Zhan at the East City Gate didn't have so many ideas, he was too shou of the right Beiping and couldn't stay in Ye County. But since you have hit here, there is no benefit at all, how can you leave.
