The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 288
The crossbowmen among the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, just like this behind the tower shield, crazily wound up and shot crazily.

There are too many people in front of him, there is no need to aim at all, just put the crossbow arrow on the crossbow machine, fire it at will, and it can hit the fleeing soldiers of Zhang Baiqi.

The crossbow arrows shot out from the formation of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army non-stop, bringing out a little blood in the turbulent crowd.

Wails, yells, and cries filled the narrow aisle, but they didn't make anyone feel sympathetic at all.

It is ironic that the number of Zhang Baiqi soldiers who died under the crossbow arrows of the Yellow Turban Army did not even die in the hands of their own people. In order to fight for the place to escape, they drew out their weapons and slashed at the former comrades beside them. cut away.

The crowd was surging, and some weaker people were squeezed to the ground, and disappeared in the crowd in a blink of an eye, without even making a sound.

Chaos of trampling, fighting, and scrambling spread among Zhang Bai's cavalry army.

The knights guarded Zhang Baiqi and killed all the way through the gap opened by the Yellow Turban Army. All those who hindered his progress along the way were mercilessly beheaded by him.

And the several military formations that the Chinese army still barely held on to, as well as the rear army led by Zhang Hua, also completely collapsed because Zhang Baiqi withdrew from the battlefield.

Liu Shi took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, and there were routs of Zhang Bai's cavalry army all over the mountains and plains. Some of them knelt down to beg for surrender, some fled in haste, and some panicked and ran towards the dense forest.

Zhang Baiqi didn't care about other things, he finally escaped and ascended to heaven, he didn't even care about the camp, and hurriedly fled to the north with the troops left behind in the camp.

Zhang Baiqi's stupid move undoubtedly sold all the songs under his command that had not escaped to the Yellow Turban Army.

After confirming that they had lost their worries, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army filled the gap again, leaving only a small number of troops on the back to guard against idle routs.

The battle lasted until four o'clock in the noon, and Zhang Baiqi's army was completely defeated.

Zhang Baiqi led thousands of people to flee in panic, and the rest surrendered.

Yan Zhong also took advantage of the Battle of Pass to surrender tens of thousands of bandits under Zhang Baiqi's command.

……

The camp that Zhang Baiqi once built outside the pass is now flying the yellow flag of the Yellow Turban Army.

In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, in a large tent made of yellow cloth, Yan Zhong sat at the head seat, put the bamboo slips in his hand on the desk, looked at the commanders in the tent, and asked questions.

"As for the reorganization, just as I said just now, do you have any objections?"

Hearing Yan Zhong's inquiry, all the commanders in the account all spoke in agreement.

"Follow the general's orders."

"I have no objection."

……

The Battle of the Pass allowed the thieves and bandits in Taihang in the north to see the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Baiqi, whom they once regarded as invincible, was defeated by Yan Zhong in an instant.

When they met Yan Zhong again, everyone was trembling and submissive, and they didn't even dare to look up.

They all agree with what Yan Zhong said, and they dare not have the slightest objection.

"Since this is the case, this matter has been settled like this."

Yan Zhong nodded slightly, but he was quite satisfied with the reaction of everyone in the tent.

"General, Zhang Bai's cavalry has not stopped fleeing northward, and there is no sign of stopping. It seems to be returning to its old lair-Yeyan Mountain. According to investigations, most of the infantry have been abandoned by him. Zhang Baiqi should be beside him. Only a few cavalry."

Yingwei Tiqi, who had been waiting for a long time, received Yan Zhong's instruction and immediately reported the information he had investigated to Yan Zhong.

Yan Zhong shook his head, and said with a disdainful smile: "If Zhang Baiqi is fighting and retreating, and sending people to guard the various passes along the way, it can be regarded as a little strategy, which can make me look up to him."

Liu Shi's complexion was a little bad. During the daytime battle, he was entangled by the infantry and cavalry left behind by Zhang Baiqi, and Zhang Baiqi was picked up by the soldiers left behind in the camp.

Liu Shi hesitated for a long time, but finally stood up and begged Yan Zhong.

"I would like to lead my troops and horses to continue chasing Zhang Baiqi. I accidentally released Zhang Baiqi in the battle of the day. I know that I have committed a crime. I also ask the general to allow me to make up for my mistakes."

Yan Zhong raised his silk fan slightly to stop Liu Shi's words, and said: "It's unnecessary."

"Lieutenant Liu, although you failed to achieve all your success in this battle, you still have the merit of being trapped in the battle. Moreover, if Liu Xiaowei hadn't gathered troops to resist Zhang Baiqi's attack at the pass, I'm afraid that you would destroy Zhang Baiqi. I still need to work harder.”

Yan Zhong smiled and said: "I said before, as long as Lieutenant Liu takes off Zhang Baiqi's head, I will personally reward you in the mansion of the great virtuous teacher. I will still reward you."

Yan Zhong stood up, unfolded his silk fan, and said disdainfully.

"Zhang Baiqi's general situation is gone, and the elite was wiped out once. Now there are only a few thousand followers under his command, and now he is just a fish in the cauldron, and he will not be able to recover if he is left to churn."

"The fish swims in the cauldron, panting for a while, our army advances in two directions, Zhang Bai's cavalry defeats the pass and kills the friendly army, it is already alienated from morality."

"even."

A gleam of shock flashed across Yan Zhong's eyes, and his voice cooled down.

"You don't have to wait for me to march, within a few days, someone raised his head and asked to surrender."

……

At night, the noisy insects sounded a little scary in the dark night of Taihang Mountain.

Zhang Baiqi and others fled north all the way until dusk, after confirming that the Yellow Turban Army was not pursuing, he was a little relieved, set up camp at an unnamed river valley along the way, and then dispatched a representative Lead troops to meet the infantry that fell behind.

After galloping all the way, many of the horses were exhausted. After all, they were not qualified horses. The horses of the cavalry under Zhang Baiqi's command were much lower than those of the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army. Explosive power cannot be compared.

Zhang Qi stood outside the camp, looking at the dark ravine below the mountain alone.

"call……"

Zhang Qi breathed out a foul breath, and turned around slowly, there were only a few figures under the night.

"Zheng-"

The clear sound seemed inaudible amidst the din of insects.

The bright moonlight shines down, and the moonlight shines on the ground along the sharp ring head knife, looking extremely cold
Zhang Qi stepped forward slowly, and slowly opened the tent of Zhang Baiqi's tent with a ring knife, and the surrounding soldiers also slowly surrounded the tent.

As the curtain slowly lifted, his hand holding the knife became more and more stable.

"Zhang Qi?"

A familiar voice came from inside the tent, Zhang Qi trembled all over, and it was almost difficult to hold the long knife in his hand.

"Father."

Zhang Qi stretched out his left hand, lifted the curtain, slowly hid the ring-shou knife behind him, and replied in a hoarse voice.

"It's already late at night, why don't you sleep?!"

Zhang Baiqi stared at Zhang Qi who couldn't see his face clearly outside the tent, held the ring head knife hidden beside the mat, and asked in a deep voice.

He already sensed that something was wrong.

Zhang Qi looked to both sides, Zhang Baiqi was already awake, if he shouted loudly to attract other guards...

Right now it is difficult to ride a tiger, Zhang Qi knows that even if he retreats at this time, according to Zhang Baiqi's temperament, he may not survive tonight.

"kill!!!"

Zhang Qi's eyes were like swords, and he shouted sharply.

Behind him, four armored soldiers armed with ring-headed knives rushed into the tent.

The fire suddenly lit up, and the sound of tearing silk was heard all around, and the soldiers from all directions also rushed into it.

"Rebel!"

Zhang Baiqi was furious and cursed angrily.

"Don't stop, don't accept the chaos, Yifu, you taught me this!"

Under the light of the fire, Zhang Qi's complexion looked extremely ferocious.
