Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 374 Huang Zhong's first show, under the control of advance and retreat II
Another day passed.

The Xiliang Army and the Yellow Turban Army moved troops and generals within a radius of fifty or sixty miles to the west of Jiangyi City, gradually forming a confrontational situation.

The Yellow Turbans are in the middle.

The Yellow Turban camp has two wings from the north to the south, and the center of the camp is built on a steep slope, in a triangular position, with the word "pin" for defense.

Twelve or three miles to the east of the Yellow Turban Camp is the location of Jiangyi City. The more than 1 main forces of Li Que, the Xiliang Army stationed here, spread out word by word, relying on the city wall to the east, forming a network.

To the west is the main force of Guo Si, the Xiliang Army.

This part of the soldiers and horses slowly rushed, cutting off two roads back to Baibo Valley, one galloping road and one small road, all of which were firmly controlled by Guo Bang's soldiers and horses.

Under the confrontational situation, the Xiliang Army frequently sent troops to test.

But the Yellow Turban Army was as stable as Mount Tai, and they didn't see the panic of being besieged at all.

Wait another two days.

The Yellow Turban Army was not in chaos, but the two chief generals in Xiliang became a little impatient.

On this day, Li Que and Jia Xu took more than a hundred cavalry and went to the gate of the Yellow Turban Barracks to observe the situation of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers.

"Our main force has been attacking from east to west and besieged them for two days, but they don't seem to be disturbed at all!"

Li Que looked at the yellow turban camp, where the soldiers were sitting together in groups of three or four. There was a somewhat lazy atmosphere, and the voices of more talking and laughing were not in the slightest rush.

"They seem to be dragging us!"

Jia Xu squinted, looked at the Yellow Turban Barracks, and said quietly.

These days, the Yellow Turban Army has not made any offensive, and the face-to-face battles have shown a word, steady, the more stable, the more they are delaying time. These Yellow Turban Army are obviously delaying time.

"Drag us?"

Li Que said: "What's the use of dragging us?"

"I don't know!" Jia Xu smiled bitterly, he thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the north sky: "If their main force is not here, maybe it makes sense, they just want to send troops to Qingping Mountain to rescue the Xiongnu The siege of the army, but worried that we would cause trouble, so sent troops to provoke us!"

"Then we can't wait any longer!"

"But I'm not sure about their strength. This is a big taboo in combat!" Jia Xu acted cautiously, and he had to worry whether this might be a trap set by the Yellow Turban Army.

"Military division, I think you still think too much!"

Li Que said in a deep voice: "You and I have calculated the strength of the main force of the Yellow Turbans. Even if there is a trap, with our strength, we will not suffer a lot!"

Since the defeat of the Yellow Turbans a few months ago, after Mrs. Guo was beheaded by them, the remaining troops are already clear at a glance. Even now that Niu Fu has led the Feixiong Army to Luoyang, with their strength, they can still eat the Yellow Turbans.

I didn't fight before, more because I didn't want to bite the hard bone of Baibogu.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army has abandoned Baibo Valley, it is already a great opportunity.

When Jia Xu heard this, she remained silent.

Although he still felt that something was wrong, he couldn't find a reason to refute it. What Li Que said was right. The strength of the Yellow Turban troops was clear at a glance. If he was timid, he might miss the opportunity.

"Notify Guo Si that I want to encircle the Yellow Turban Army!"

Li Que decided, as a leading general, he has the courage to make an immediate decision.

Jia Xu is a military advisor, and as Niu Fu's most important military advisor, he is also very important in the Xiliang Army. He is proficient in military strategy, has precise layouts, and careful battle plans, but he still lacks decisiveness on the battlefield. determination and grit.

So while he was still judging the situation, Li Que gave the order.

Under Dong Zhuo's command, there is one piece of literature and one military force, Li Ruye is the one who wields power, and Niu Fu is the one who wields military power. Both are his sons-in-law, and they are also the people he values ​​and trusts the most.

Under Niu Fu's command, Guo Si and Li Que are the leaders.

The soldiers and horses left by the Xiliang Army in Hedong were also headed by two people. Now that Li Que gave the order, it was tantamount to deciding the battle.

With the order of the military, the main force of Xiliang began to come out in full force.

Tread Tread! ! ! ! !
The Xiliang cavalry was the fastest, and in less than an hour, they had already arrived at the Yellow Turban Barracks ten miles away.

"Kill in!"

Li Que took the lead, with a big knife in his hand, he slashed straight to the main entrance, and rushed in.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Three thousand cavalry from Xiliang can attack the camp of ten thousand troops. Wherever they go, under the trample of horseshoes, there will be ruins.

"no one?"

"There's no one here!"

"Empty camp!"

But after the Xiliang army rushed in, they found that it was already an empty camp.

"This is actually an empty camp. When did they withdraw?"

Li Que was riding on horseback, looking around at the surrounding terrain, his eyes were extremely gloomy.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"General, the Yellow Turban Army was found on the official road to the west!"

"Official?"

Li Que couldn't figure it out: "They dare to go to the official way, or go west, want to go straight to Guo Bang's main force, open a gap to escape from where Guo Bang is, is this trip delusional?"

But he can't figure it out, he can't figure it out, his first task now is to take down the Yellow Turban Army: "Send the order, the whole army pursues, and the Yellow Turbans must not escape!"

"promise!"

All the generals took orders and each led their troops in pursuit.

"If you want to withdraw, there is no way!" Li Que also led his own soldiers to bite on it.

……

on the official road.

"General, the Xiliang Army is catching up!"

"In less than two hours, he has already pursued him. He is worthy of being the elite of Xiliang. The speed is so fast!"

The corner of Huang Zhong's mouth raised a slight sneer: "It's a good time not to come!"

He directly ordered: "Pass my military order, the left and right wings, advance according to the original plan, and must fight Guo Si's Xiliang army before dark. We want to fight a chaotic field battle, starting at ten o'clock in the evening!"

"promise!"

The messenger rode away to deliver the order.

Huang Zhong summoned the five battalion commanders of the Chinese army to come up, and then opened a map: "Listen, although we only have less than [-] soldiers, the terrain allows us to exert the greatest combat effectiveness. We want to fight here. One game, gather them!"

"Please command the general!"

"Yang Xin, led two thousand troops, and confronted them here. After half an hour of fighting, retreat immediately. Don't be obsessed with fighting, and don't delay. After withdrawing, lure the Xiliang cavalry to come from this direction. Right, break away on your own, after breaking away, head west, and join us here!"

"promise!"

Yang Xin led the troops away.

"Guo Cong!"

"exist!"

"You lead a thousand troops to meet Yang Xin at this intersection. After Yang Xin's troops turn to the right, you lead your troops to meet them. After fighting for a quarter of an hour, you withdraw immediately and walk to the left along the path. I will be three miles away. The ferry of the small river will meet you!"

"As ordered!"

Guo Cong, the battalion commander, took the order and led his troops away.

"Everyone else follow my orders!"

Huang Zhong clenched his fist and directly hit a red heart on the map: "We are here to snipe them!"

"promise!"

The generals took the lead.

……

At noon, there was no sun, and it was snowing lightly. Under the fluttering snowflakes, Li Que led the Xiliang cavalry, went to the official road, and pursued westward.

"Children, kill!"

Suddenly, a Yellow Turban army broke out halfway.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Two thousand soldiers, like wolves and tigers, first attacked with a wave of bows and arrows, and then rushed out directly, like an ambush, attacking the Xiliang cavalry formation at the official road.

After all, the official road is a road, even if it is wide, it can't accommodate tens of thousands of people in front, so it is suitable for a battlefield where a few soldiers and horses ambush the majority of soldiers and horses.

"ambush?"

Li Que was not at all confused, his eyes turned cold, he raised the long knife in his hand, and said coldly: "They are looking for their own death, Xiliang sons, kill them!"

This looks like an ambush place, but there are no valleys on the left and right, no hidden lanes, and it is clear at a glance that it is impossible to ambush the charge of their cavalry.

"Aww, kill it!"

"Kill the past!"

The Xiliang cavalry were extremely fierce, and they had an invincible arrogance when they entered the battlefield. The thousand cavalry led by the front directly rushed past against the rain of arrows.

"Stop!"

"Stop them!"

Although the Yellow Turban Army looked like an ambush, it was more like a defensive war.

Yang Xin had doubted why Huang Zhong would choose this place to ambush before, but now he suddenly understood that this is good for defense, but not good for cavalry attack, so that they can suppress the Xiliang army's offensive.

Under the exchange of short soldiers, there was a shrill cry from both sides, and countless flesh and blood flew and stirred.

"Kill them, leave no one behind!"

Li Que was a little angry, he stared at the front, and the few Yellow Turban soldiers actually blocked them.

"Back up!"

"Withdraw a little more!"

"Come back a little bit!"

Under the Xiliang Army's offensive, the Yellow Turban Army naturally retreated steadily, but their retreat made their casualties less obvious.

"Marshal, I can't stop it anymore, we are retreating, and we will lose our geographical advantage!"

"How long have you been fighting!"

"About half an hour!"

"Get out!"

Yang Xin obeyed Huang Zhong's military order, and after fighting for about half an hour, he directly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

"Chase!"

Li Que was about to kill. Suddenly he saw that the Yellow Turban Army wanted to withdraw, and he was furious. Is this a provocation? Scratch an itch and run away after scratching. How can there be such a good thing? Without further ado, he ordered to hunt down and kill .

"Chase!"

"Chase!"

The officers and soldiers of the Xiliang army seemed particularly cowardly at this moment. The official road was too narrow, which was not conducive to their deployment. After fighting for a long time, they finally wanted to penetrate this official road and spread out their troops to fight. The yellow scarf suddenly withdrew. Naturally makes them feel angry.

The Xiliang army was in hot pursuit, but the Yellow Turban army withdrew quickly due to the terrain. The distance between the two sides was not large, and the Xiliang army was in a hurry to chase, and the shadows of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban army could still be seen clearly.

After chasing and chasing, I walked about three miles.

This is a fork.

"Boys, turn to the right!"

Yang Xin looked up and looked around. In a jungle, he had already seen Guo Cong's soldiers and horses ready to go. He didn't say hello, and went directly to the right.

Between handovers, there is a gap.

This gap can easily be seized by others, so they are extremely careful.

"All archers ready!"

Guo Cong stood in a jungle, staring at the official road in front of him with vivid eyes.

The terrain of this Sanchakou is quite special. If you go left or right, you can't get around a jungle, so it's a good place to ambush.

"Follow me, we must not let them run away!" Li Que's cold and stern voice kept echoing on the official road, and the Xiliang cavalry's horseshoes pounded the ground.

"Shhhhhhh!!!"

Suddenly, a rain of arrows came out from the cover in the jungle.

"Damn!"

"It's an archer!"

"defense!"

Many cavalrymen were shot at the front of the impact. Some of them turned their backs on their backs, fell under the hooves of the horses, some were trampled, and some fell to their deaths directly. It was a mess.

In that short stroke, hundreds of cavalry died tragically.

"What a lure to attack!"

Li Que reined in the horse's reins, glanced sharply, and a stern smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was the expression of his extreme anger: "Where is the archer?"

"exist!"

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and the archers of the Xiliang Army came out to form two teams, half bent left and right, drew their bows and drew their arrows, and the arrows aimed in all directions.

"Cum indiscriminately!"

Li Que pointed at the jungle: "Force them out!"

"Shhhhhhh!!!"

Amidst the random shooting, there were several shrill screams in the jungle.

"Get out!"

This jungle is not big, and under the cover of bows and arrows, there is no way to hide people. Guo Cong could only withdraw with his soldiers, exposing his figure to the eyes of the Xiliang army.

"This kind of person is also worthy of ambushing a certain family, courting death!"

Li Que's killing intent rose: "Rush over and crush them!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The cavalry rushing forward was surging.

"Boys, retreat to the path for me!"

Guo Cong glanced around. His soldiers were not as good as Yang Xin. Yang Xin and cavalry fought against each other. He only had infantry. He had overfulfilled his task by blocking them with bows and arrows for a quarter of an hour. Now he must not use force.

"General, they go all the way to the right and all the way to the left, what about us?"

The Xiliang general looked at the left and right directions of the Sanchakou in some confusion.

"The soldiers are divided into two groups?"

Li Que glanced around, and directly removed the thought from his mind.

This is not the first time he has fought on the battlefield. He will not make unnecessary mistakes. Although he was ambushed twice, although his morale and main force could not be hurt, it also reminded him that the road ahead is not easy.

"Go to the left, take the path to pursue!" Li Que ordered.

"Chase!"

"Chase!"

The Xiliang army rushed to the left path in a swarm.

"hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

"Their cavalry is about to chase up, hurry up!"

Guo Cong was running for his life. Only less than 200 of his [-] soldiers and horses survived, and the entire [-] soldiers fell on the road being pursued. This distance was less than three miles, and more than [-] soldiers lost their lives.

Even if the trails are not conducive to cavalry pursuit, cavalry is still the trump card of this era, and they are too restrained for infantry.

"arrive!"

This is a small river. Under the snow, there is a layer of snowflakes floating on the surface of the river. I can't see the depth clearly. I can only see boats moored on the bank one by one. Guo Cong boarded the boat in a hurry and turned the boat to the opposite bank and go.

"Damn!"

The Xiliang cavalry pursued them, but reined in their horses on the bank. They had no boats and could not cross the river at all. They could only look in the opposite direction with somewhat gloomy eyes.

"It made them run away, damn it!"

Li Que came late, he clenched his fists, and stared at the disappearing figure with murderous intent in his eyes.

Thousands of cavalry just stood on the bank of the river, watching them go away.

"General, what should we do?"

"Go upstream and downstream to see if there is a bridge, let's find a bridge to cross!"

"promise!"

The generals took the lead and were about to turn around and go up and down the river.

Whoosh! ! ! ! ! !

At this moment, on the back side that they didn't pay attention to, on the hillside, bursts of bows and arrows were fired, forming a rain of arrows, completely covering the three thousand cavalry.

"not good!"

"Defend now!"

"There are still enemies behind!"

The Xiliang cavalry was in chaos. They didn't expect that the enemy who was chasing had already crossed the river, and there was an enemy ambush hidden on a hillside that they didn't pay attention to. When all their attention was on the enemy who was crossing the river, the yellow scarves hidden behind The army attacked them.
