I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 48
Besides, on Huangfusong's side, according to the strategy he negotiated with Li Shimin before, all he needs is to wait for the opportunity and complete his work in one battle.

At the beginning, the situation was as they had expected. The Yellow Turban army headed north to fight against Li Shimin, and the other way came towards Huangfusong.

Like the Yellow Turban Army in the north, the troops in the south also built high walls, and immediately built a strong camp as soon as they came up, as if they wanted to stick to it.Huangfusong secretly asked Xi Zuo to investigate, and found that the Yellow Turban Army here is only more than [-] people.

After some analysis with Cao Cao, they believed that the Yellow Turban Army should have adopted a strategy of defending from the south and attacking from the north. They must first deal with Li Shimin's army, and then attack our army with the power of a great victory.

This move obviously fell into Huangfusong's favor. Wouldn't it be nice to let the Yellow Turban Army and Li Shimin lose both, and reap the benefits for themselves, so no one asked anyone to tell Li Shimin about his situation.

Although Cao Cao couldn't bear it very much, after all, he and Li Shimin were half confidants, and it was really unbearable to deceive his teammates like this.But after thinking about it, how could Li Shimin be so easy to deal with? I'm afraid the Yellow Turban Army won't get any benefits, so they didn't disobey Huangfusong's order and didn't notify Li Shimin.

However, at this time Cao Cao still expressed a trace of worry in his heart, "My lord, according to my humble opinion, the Yellow Turban rebels know this place well, we still have to beware of the Yellow Turban army's sneak attack in the middle of the night. At present, it cannot be ruled out whether the enemy will resort to attacking from east to west. plan."

Naturally, Huangfusong is also a resourceful person. After thinking about it, he felt that Cao Cao's words were reasonable, so he quickly ordered to strengthen night patrols and guards, and all soldiers should not relax.

Huangfusong may not have expected that it was because of Cao Cao's reminder that they avoided a big defeat.

…………

The night was dark, dark clouds covered the sky full of stars, and the howling north wind made the branches rattle.As the saying goes, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, when killing people and setting fires.

On a hillside not far from Huangfusong camp, Zhang Liang was watching the changes in Huangfusong camp under the cover of dense forest. Tens of thousands of wolves stared closely at the prey in front of them.

"General, it's Yin time now. The officers and soldiers are sleeping soundly. This is a good opportunity for us to make a surprise attack." The general Guan Xin said excitedly.

Zhang Liang also agreed very much, and from a distance, Huangfusong's camp was very calm, and there were no patrolling soldiers around. It is expected that the officers and soldiers would not guess that we would come to sneak attack.

Under the veil of darkness, Zhang Liang's expression was so ferocious, and there was a trace of joy that could not be detected. He turned his head and said softly to the lieutenant general: "The army is attacking, crush the enemy's camp!"

Immediately, the Yellow Turban Army behind them, led by Guan Xin, took advantage of the cover of night and rushed straight to the official army camp.

The howling wind blew through the treetops, covering the sound of marching footsteps. Outside Huangfusong's camp, under the shadow of the moonlight, a group of soldiers and horses galloped towards them.

Fortunately, Cao Cao had foreseen it and arranged for his soldiers to guard in the dark.

At this time, the sky changed suddenly, the dark clouds receded suddenly, the moon showed her smiling face, and the bright silver light scattered on the ground. The vigilant officers and soldiers seemed to find that there were many black shadows surging towards them.

The vigilant soldier rubbed his dry eyes, widened his eyes again and looked in this direction. When the Yellow Turban Army was less than a mile away from the camp, he could already hear the dull sound of horseshoes and feel the ground trembling slightly. .

At this time, the guard officers and soldiers finally confirmed that it was an enemy attack.He hurriedly yelled "enemy sneak attack" and struck the chime in his hand vigorously.The huge roar, accompanied by the crisp knocking sound, resounded through the army camp.

Huangfusong's army, who were waiting for the next attack, was completely awakened. One by one, they got up and formed a guard in the dark.

Yesterday, General Huangfu issued an order to beware of sneak attacks by bandit troops, requiring the Chinese army to keep their armor on and their swords on their bodies, especially the defending soldiers, and those who violated the order would be beheaded!When they finally heard the movement, everyone calmed down a lot.

The sound of horseshoes came like a shower, thousands of yellow-turban cavalry protruded with swords and guns, and under the cold light of the moon, they came straight to the Huangfu Festival camp, followed by tens of thousands of infantry.

Pushing aside the antler fence, the Yellow Turban Army broke through the camp and entered, but before approaching the camp of the Chinese Army, Huang Fusong, who was not disarmed at night, had already rushed to the front camp.

Immediately after hearing the movement, Cao Cao and others also led troops from various camps to cover up and kill them, and three soldiers, horses and yellow scarf regiments surrounded them.

It was Guan Xin, the only surviving general under Zhang Liang's command, who led the troops into the camp. He was commanding the elite of the Yellow Turban Army. Although he already knew that the sneak attack was detected by the officers and soldiers, it was too late to retreat, so he could only make a mistake. , completely entered the melee.

Huangfusong was clearly prepared. Under the leadership of their respective generals, each battalion counterattacked from all directions. The generals of the officers and soldiers led the elite formations under their command to approach the Yellow Turban Army with an orderly "boom...boom..." pace.

The crossbowmen hidden in the dark shot arrows at the Yellow Turbans ruthlessly, harvesting the lives of the Yellow Turbans one by one, and their screams resounded through the night sky.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army changed from dark to bright, attacking and defending in a different situation, but was beaten with nowhere to hide.Seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties under the three-sided attack of the officers and soldiers, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to him, in desperation, Guan Xin shouted: "The officers and soldiers are on guard, withdraw!"

Immediately, he led his iron cavalry, rushed out a gap, and fled northward with the remaining troops.

The night was dark and the terrain was difficult to understand. Although Huangfusong had been in battle for a long time, he didn't dare to lead his troops to pursue him. He was angry for a while and ordered the soldiers to go back to the camp to rest.

Huangfu Song heaved a sigh of relief when the Yellow Turban Army's sneak attack failed and retreated. This battle defeated the enemy's spirit, beheaded and captured more than [-] people, and it was also a great victory.On the other hand, although the army under his command was slightly damaged and more than a thousand people died in the chaos, the overall casualties were not large, which was acceptable.

Seeing that his prophecy came true, Cao Cao was not very happy. He just felt afraid for a while. If he hadn't sensed it in advance and deployed his troops, it was very likely that the Yellow Turban Army would raid and break the camp. The enemy would fight back desperately. camp, the consequences would be disastrous.

…………

After Guan Xin escaped from Huangfusong's camp with the rest of the rout, he fled in a panic all the way back to his own camp.

Zhang Liang saw that his carefully planned attack on the camp ended in such a hasty way. Not only did he not defeat the officers and soldiers by surprise, but he lost his troops and generals, and returned in a big defeat.Immediately he said angrily: "Come here, take this defeated general out for me and chop him off."

The rage at this time had already made Zhang Liang lose his mind, and he wanted to kill his right hand and back.All the generals under his command were in danger, and they didn't dare to come forward to intervene with Xin, for fear that Zhang Liang's anger would burn them.

No matter how much Guan Xin wailed and begged for mercy, Zhang Liang remained unmoved, and finally there was a scream outside the gate, and everyone shuddered, feeling their own necks were chilled.
