Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 375 Huang Zhong's first show, under control between advance and retreat
In war, the right time, the right place and the right people are indispensable.

The time of day is the time of the weather. Throughout the ages, battles have been won by time of day. There are countless existences. After all, the power of heaven and earth is endless. For example, in the battle where Zhuge Liang besieged and killed Sima Yi, the victory was clearly in my hands. However, a heavy rain would be unfavorable. .

Geographical advantage is an active advantage on the battlefield
As for people and harmony, this is a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of military strength.

Geographical advantages can definitely make up for the disadvantages of military strength.

Just like this battle now.

The Yellow Turban Army's military strength is not strong enough, and the geographical advantage that can be controlled can fight the Xiliang Army, and it is possible to turn defeat into victory.

This battlefield of fighting and retreating was a battlefield that Huang Zhong spent a few nights calling all the generals to discuss, deliberate, and inspected in person countless times before deciding that it was the most suitable battlefield for a counterattack.

From the official road, it stretches for more than ten miles, and the conclusion is a battlefield.

The official way is the first strike, the momentum of sniping, and the purpose of seduction is to pave the way for the following war.

The fork in the road is the second hit.

This blow added fuel to the fire.

The purpose was to heat up the Xiliang army's anger and force them to take this path to the somewhat special battlefield in front of them.

This battlefield is a sandy beach with a river in front of it. The river is like the Fenshui River. It's not very big or urgent, but it's just snowy and you can't see the depth.

The back of the beach is the key.

This is a small hillside surrounded by jungle. The trees in the jungle are not tall, but they can cover many tracks. .

Going out from the official road and the small road, the target is basically going straight to the river. Their eyes will only see the river, but it can make people temporarily forget that there is a hidden hillside behind where soldiers can hide.

This was Huang Zhong's heaviest blow.

He led the main force of the Yellow Turban Chinese Army, more than [-] soldiers, all veterans and elites, ambushed here for a long time.

This is the time to wait.

"Boys, kill them!"

"Pierce through their formation!"

Huang Zhong held a big saber in his hand like a fierce tiger, and the tiger rushed down the mountain ferociously. With two left and right sabers, he killed three or four cavalrymen.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The yellow turban formation charged down, killing them like a tiger.

The reason why these yellow turban soldiers are the main force of the Chinese army is because these soldiers are veterans, they are not recruits who have just been assembled, they are recruits who were lured before, and the difference between veterans and recruits is the difference between yellow turban soldiers.

The reason why veterans are the main force is that these veterans have experienced countless battles since the Yellow Turban Uprising. Although they were all from young and strong farmers, they have been familiar with the rules of the battlefield for a long time.

On the battlefield, there is no undefeated god of war, only the victor who survives to the end, even if he is as powerful as Huang Zhong and Lu Bu, he dare not say that his flesh and blood is immortal on the battlefield.

If you want to survive, the first thing is not to be afraid of death.

On the battlefield, whoever is afraid of death will die first.

They are all yellow turban soldiers who are not afraid of death. Under the charge, they all forget about life and death, forming a general trend.

"ambush?"

Li Que's complexion was as ugly as it could be. He squeezed the reins tightly, and water dripped from his eyes gloomyly: "It turns out that it was all foreshadowing before, and the real ambush is here, damn it!!!"

Even if he wanted to fight back, it was too late.

He has always been very confident, because he led the most elite [-] cavalry under his command, who can advance and retreat, so he dared to pursue and was not afraid of ambushes, but he did not expect to encounter such a terrain.

Three thousand cavalry chased them all the way from the small road to this point. The journey was difficult and they had to endure a lot of hardships. It was because of the strong control of the Xiliang cavalry that they were able to catch up, but they watched him get on the boat and run away.

That's not to mention, when they were still lamenting and hadn't stood firm, they were hit hard by a yellow scarf from behind. The formation of the three thousand cavalry was not in order, and it was completely messed up all of a sudden.

"Hold on, hold on!"

"Come closer to me, come closer to me!"

"No need to shoot, block them for a while, and our main force will come, enough to encircle and annihilate them!"

Li Que can be regarded as a general of Xiliang, and his reaction is indeed not slow, but his hysterical shouts are buried under the cover of the sound waves of fighting.

"Blow them away!"

Huang Zhong holds the knife and kills all the way. It is like a sharp arrow, extremely sharp and invincible. It can penetrate everything that blocks his sharpness. Anyone who stands in front of him will be torn to pieces by him.

"Rush over!"

"Rush over!"

The chief general is like the god of war, the soldiers' fighting spirit doesn't need to be guided at all, it has been rising steadily, closely following Huang Zhong's side, rushing towards these cavalry without fear of death.

The battlefield is in chaos.

Cavalry and infantry should have been worlds apart.

But the Yellow Turban's [-] foot soldiers abruptly dispersed the [-] cavalrymen from Xiliang, entangled the [-] cavalrymen and started fighting. They didn't give the cavalrymen any chance to play, and pressed them to kill him.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush!"

This is a very good ambush, with [-] soldiers led by Huang Zhong himself, it is possible to fight off [-] Xiliang cavalry, but in less than an hour, the two sides are fighting, and the main force of Xiliang is led by Jia Xu. Under, arrived.

"Kill them, leave no one behind!" Jia Xu ordered.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The main force of Xiliang, nearly tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, charged straight at them.

"You are lucky!"

As soon as Huang Zhong waved, he beheaded a military marquis of the Xiliang army with his horse. He looked back and saw the main force of Xiliang killed.

"Let's retreat and go down the river!"

Huang Zhong had already penetrated the Xiliang cavalry formation, reached the river, jumped directly into the river.

The water was icy cold but only as deep as his chest.

This river is actually just a shallow river, the deepest is only a little over one meter, and even without boats, it can be crossed.

This is the retreat route arranged by Huang Zhong.

"withdraw!"

"Go down the river!"

"Get out of the battlefield!"

The Yellow Turban soldiers jumped into the river one after another and swam towards the opposite bank.

"A shallow river?"

Li Que's pupils changed color, his whole face turned red, and there was nowhere to vent his anger. After a long time, a shallow river blocked them here, preventing them from chasing after them, and also made them feel as if they were in an ambush. Not daring to take half a step back when encountering natural danger, he was beaten for a while.

"Chase!"

"Follow me!"

"We must not let them escape!"

Li Que was furious.

"Shhhhhhhhh!!!!"

This is the yellow turban soldiers who have crossed the river. Under the arrangement of the battalion commander Guo Cong, they formed an array and covered them with bows and arrows. They scared away the Xiliang army who just wanted to cross the river to pursue them.

"Don't chase after the poor!" Jia Xu came up and stood on the bank, looking at the wet yellow turban soldiers who had already started to land on the other side: "We have suffered a lot this time, and if we continue to chase, there will be no ambush After all, we can't be sure if they have this level of troops. Now they set up camps, bury pots and cook food, whether it is tents or pots, it means that they have [-] soldiers and horses, but we have only seen seven or eight thousand soldiers. Not enough, don't be impulsive!"

"I can not be reconciled!"

Li Que gritted his teeth and stared helplessly at the opposite side of the river. After the Yellow Turban Army came ashore, they disappeared behind his eyes, and his whole face became hideous.

In this battle, he suffered a big loss.

Not to mention the small ambushes before, the latter attack really hurt his cavalry. In the eyes of three thousand cavalry, at least [-] or more were missing. This is a big deal for those who regard cavalry as their lifeblood. hit.

"General Li, it's better to clean up the battlefield first and appease the soldiers. We have lost morale in this battle, so we must set up camp to stabilize the morale of the army!" Jia Xu said in a low voice.

"Command, set up camp on the spot!"

Although Li Que was not reconciled, he knew what was more important, so he still agreed.

After camping on the spot, they began to clean the battlefield and count the damage.

The injury was quickly handed over to Li Que.

By this time it was evening, ready for nightfall.

"This battle lost a full 910 two Xiliang cavalry. I, a Xiliang warrior, should have galloped on the battlefield and was invincible, but I died so uselessly. Yellow Turban Bandits, a certain family is incompatible with you!"

In the temporary camp, Li Que stared at this injury, his pupils were a little dilated, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was like a wolf in his hands, full of resentment.

The three thousand Xiliang cavalry are the backbone of his Li Que. Although he has more than 1 soldiers and horses under his command, the main force is above this cavalry. Nearly one-third of them were lost in one breath, and he was full of hatred.

"General, this person is not simple!" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, looking at the battlefield records in his hand that he made after questioning many soldiers, and said gloomyly.

"Who?"

"The leader of the army!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "He must have calculated that we would pursue, so he set up a trap. It is only ten miles from the official road to here, but this person can make a series of ambushes. The first wave of ambushes is a matter of course. We are just a superficial injury. , so as to lure us to pursue, the second wave of ambushes, we injured a lot of soldiers, unexpected, but also in the calculation, not very unexpected, acceptable, so we thought this was their purpose, and therefore The general's anger was completely ignited. The general held cavalry in his hands, so he would naturally continue to pursue. The battlefield by the river is probably their goal. We didn't expect that this river is a shallow river, and boats can be crossed, so when the pursuit came up, We stopped, and because the enemy had escaped, although we were angry, we breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, we were ambushed by them. As soon as we stood down, our cavalry injured more than 800 soldiers. There are less than [-] yellow turban corpses left on the ground, and I exchanged [-] infantry for [-] cavalry, what a calculation, it is amazing!"

Speaking of which, Jia Xu admired this person a little bit.

Few people can control the advance and retreat with such precision. In the entire Xiliang army, except for Dong Zhuo, Zhang Ji, Niu Fu and Hua Xiong, there are few people who can have such a command.

"Then who will be the Yellow Turban general who is fighting against us this time?"

Li Que listened to Jia Xu's analysis and began to calm down. Thinking of such a person, he was a little angry and sweated profusely.

"Baibo Yellow Turban, with Mrs. Guo as the commander, used to revolt and used a hundred thousand troops, and there were quite a few generals, but in the past two years of hard fighting, they have suffered more casualties, especially in the previous battle where we besieged and killed the main force of the Yellow Turban Army. Qu Shuai Guo Tai died in battle, seven out of ten of the generals under his command died in battle, and now if it is said that they can stand on their own and hold the Yellow Turban military power, there are only four people, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai?"

"The four of them, I have fought with them, but the styles don't look very similar. In your mind, which one of the four will lead the army this time?"

"Neither!" Jia Xu shook his head.

"neither?"

Hearing this, Li Que frowned slightly.

"I don't believe so. First of all, Li Le and Hu Cai's soldiers and horses smashed to the north and were besieged by the Huns. It is impossible for them to appear here. Secondly, we have fought a lot with Yang Feng and Han Siam. We have a lot of understanding and courage. If you don't plan, you can't fight this battle if you think carefully about small calculations, so I can be sure that these two people are definitely not leading the army!"

Jia Xu said: "It should be that someone we don't know has entered the Baibo Yellow Turban!"

"Who the hell is that?"

"I don't know!" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "But I know, this person should have gained the trust of the Yellow Turban generals, so he can command these Baibo Yellow Turban soldiers, and this person took the initiative when Hu Cai and Li Le were surrounded. The purpose of the attack is not simple, it is not just to hit us lightly for a while, there must be a bigger calculation!"

"What do you think his purpose is?"

Li Que panicked and asked quickly.

"I have a guess!" Jia Xu pondered for a long time before saying: "Maybe we are all wrong, the white waves and the yellow scarves are not trying to show their strength, they are trying to hide their strength, this time they have already come out in full force ,Army attack!"

"Then why are they hiding their strength?"

Li Que didn't understand.

"Because I want to make a splash!"

Jia Xu said gloomyly: "They gathered us today, it seems that they are actually doing more useless work, but why do they do this? It is nothing more than trying to scare us, hold us back, and then turn their troops around. The main force has probably arrived outside General Guo Si's camp!"

"You mean it's Guo Bang they want to fight?"

Li Que's eyes widened, a little unbelievable: "But Guo Si brought a lot of main force from Linfen, at least [-] soldiers!"

"If it's [-] against [-], it's still in the wild, without the advantage of the city wall, can we fight?"

Jia Xu asked.

"It's too cunning, they are too cunning!" Li Que jumped up and said in a low voice, "We must not let them succeed!"

"Report!"

A cavalry scout, covered in blood, rushed in.

"Say!"

Li Que's face changed color, he looked at the scout and shouted loudly.

"This afternoon, General Guo's camp was attacked by the Yellow Turbans, and I was sent to ask for help!"

"What?" Li Que and Jia Xu both stood up and looked at each other. They had just analyzed it, and there was news from there. Doesn't this mean that the war started at the same time? The Yellow Turban Army has such a large force?

"How's the battle going?"

Jia Xu asked gently.

"The Yellow Turbans attacked our camp with troops from the left and the right. There were at least [-] soldiers and horses. Although we were prepared, there were only [-] soldiers and horses, and our foothold was unstable. The camp had just been established and there was no danger. The Yellow Turbans The thieves were vicious and rushed in in one breath, causing us a lot of casualties. General Guo had to retreat to the hillside for three miles and wait for help. He sent out fifteen scouts, and most of them were killed. Only I rushed out, let me come to ask for help!"

"Come on!"

Hearing this, Li Que couldn't keep up with asking for details, so he yelled directly.

At this time, the Xiliang army was very united. They were able to fight out from Xiliang and become the current tyrant in the Central Plains. However, the existence of fighting for the power of the imperial court relied on the unity of the top and bottom.

So Li Que ordered without hesitation: "The whole army gathers and prepares to pull out the camp!"
