Great Han Empire

Chapter 115
There were no lights in the Yellow Turban Army's North Camp, and it was pitch black.

There is a forest about a mile behind the camp.On the edge of the woods, Zhang Bai rode on a pure white horse, commanding the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who came continuously, and assembled them to the rear of the camp according to different positions.

Except for the footsteps of the soldiers walking around, there was no sound at the scene, and it seemed very silent.

The war horse that Zhang Baiqi was sitting on was a bit dishonest. He always raised his head and neck in place, or bounced around, appearing restless.The horses of the dozens of guards behind were probably affected by the white horse, and they were restless and kept moving.Because of the cloth bags on their mouths, they couldn't make a sound, but their movements of raising their heads and hissing more and more frequently were still very conspicuous.

Zhang Baiqi raised his head and looked around suspiciously, feeling a little uneasy.His white horse is very docile, rarely so abnormal as tonight.Zhang Baiqi kept touching the horse's long mane, trying to calm it down.

Suddenly, there was an indistinct roar in the night, indistinct, looming, not very real.Then the sound became clearer and louder, just like the tide, from far to near, the roar instantly shook the entire North City Gate.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army panicked, and the fear in their hearts reached the extreme.In the dark night, nothing can be seen, which adds to the horror of darkness.The mysterious object leaping like a rolling thunder in the distance, the huge danger it brought smashed across the sky like a mountain to the bottom of every soldier's heart.

Zhang Baiqi's expression changed suddenly, and he opened his mouth nervously and screamed: "Surprise attack, the enemy's surprise attack..."

The voice was hoarse and flustered, and it sounded suddenly in the silent night, which seemed extraordinarily terrifying.

The soldiers who had already formed the phalanx were at a loss and didn't know what happened; the soldiers who were forming the formation were flustered and their formation was chaotic;

"Boom" with a loud noise.

Then there were horrified shouts from the camp, and immediately after, the shouts soared into the sky, resounding through the entire barracks in an instant.

Zhang Baiqi was cold all over, and his eyes were full of despair and helplessness.Being attacked by the enemy at this time is simply a disaster.

The soldiers in the camp were still sleeping, ignorant; the soldiers behind the camp were still lining up, in a state of chaos.No matter whether it is the troops inside or behind the camp, there is no command now.

It was dark.It's the darkest time before dawn, when you can't see anything.This not only caused great panic to the soldiers, but also reduced their chances of escape.

Although Zhang Baiqi yelled loudly, he couldn't find a military commander who directly led the army, and all the military commanders were in his own trilogy.The scene was chaotic, with tens of thousands of people crowded together, and the messengers rode around in the crowd and couldn't find the southeast, north, south, and north, let alone notified them to organize troops to form a resistance.

Fast, too fast.

Zhang Baiqi stayed by the edge of the woods, uttering orders in his mouth, but his eyes saw that his camp was blown up.

Countless soldiers rushed out of the camp, and like a surging tide, a huge wave was raised, and it smashed hard on the yellow turban army ranks behind the camp.The queue that hadn't stabilized its position was immediately smashed up and down, and before it regained its footing, another raging wave crashed down.

"boom……"

It's gone, completely and completely.

The soldiers in the camp found the exit, and thousands of people shouted frantically and fled in all directions.Several queues at the rear of the camp were instantly torn apart, countless soldiers could not help themselves, let the fleeing soldiers lead them, and fled aimlessly into the boundless darkness.The soldiers who were still on the road saw countless deserters rushing towards them, and heard the roaring and killing sounds in the darkness in the distance. They were so frightened that their livers were torn apart, they uttered a cry, turned around and ran away.At first, the officers yelled symbolically, and then they were wrapped up by the fleeing army that was howling, and rushed away.

Looking at the army that bombed the camp, Zhang Baiqi looked pale and unable to recover. He was like a wild wolf in a desperate situation, facing the darkness, he let out a long howl of anger and despair.

The roar of the galloping horses and the shouts of the fleeing soldiers formed a huge wave of sound in a short period of time, soaring into the sky.

In the dark night, the overwhelming cavalry was like a flood breaking a bank, roaring all the way with the force of thunder, roaring angrily, carrying ten thousand winds and thunders, and killed them ferociously.

The Liuqu iron cavalry launched a geese-shaped charging formation, rampaging on the battlefield, and they carried out a bloody massacre against the yellow scarf soldiers who were frantically fleeing.

The murderous Li Hong turned his head on the high-speed galloping horse and yelled at the horn soldiers behind him:

"Blow the horn, order the troops, kill... kill..."

The sound of a huge horn broke through the darkness, like a flash of lightning suddenly illuminating the bloody battlefield.The sound of the horn rushed into the ears of all the deserters, like a long arrow shot into their hearts.Fear, endless fear inspired their most primitive desire to survive.The Yellow Turban soldiers howled even more crazily, running, panicked.

"kill……"

As the horn sounded continuously, the soldiers of the Fengyun Iron Cavalry were stimulated with enthusiasm, each of them looked excited and murderous, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering and deafening for a while.

Zhang Baiqi was dazzled by anger, and rushed up desperately.His guards immediately rushed to his side, some grabbed the reins of the horse, some grabbed his arm, some grabbed his cloak, and they all grabbed the roaring Zhang Baiqi and fled like flying away.

Facing the galloping horses, the Yellow Turban soldiers had no power to resist. They were hit wantonly and trampled mercilessly. No one could outrun the galloping horses.

The soldiers of Fengyun Iron Cavalry swung all kinds of weapons, slashing and killing at will, heartily.The saber fluttered in the air with a rain of blood, the spear happily devoured innocent lives, and the long arrows screamed in the dark night, they cruelly nailed into the enemy's body, raging madly, like chasing The ghost of life.

Starting from the collapsed Beidaying gate of the Yellow Turban Army, as long as the Fengyun cavalry crossed, it was a mess, with bloody corpses and soldiers moaning in pools of blood everywhere.

"Kill..."

The torrent of the Fengyun Iron Cavalry Army followed the fleeing Yellow Turban Army and rushed all the way into the darkness.

Zhang Niujiao closed his eyes in pain.

Leopard, leopard again.Since the leopard appeared on the land of Zhuojun, bad luck began to come.Is this God's will?October, October again.General, open your eyes in the spirit of the sky and help us.

All kinds of signs indicated that the Leopard Army was near the Dingxing Ferry, staring at Sun Qin and his food and supplies.The scouts of the Leopard Army went to the ferry four times a day to observe the movement. It turned out that all this was a scam played by Li Hong.His troops had rushed to the vicinity of Zhuocheng long ago, eyeing the Yellow Turban Army in the North Camp.

When there is no accurate location of the Leopard Army, the two camps of the Yellow Turban Army are on guard day and night, especially at night, the scouts are scattered ten miles away, and an additional 5000 people are sent to the camp to guard against the attack by Li Hong's army. .He won every battle in the night attack and never failed, which has attracted the attention of the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.

But at this critical moment, they believed too much in their own subjective speculation.Everyone believes that if the Leopard Army stays near Zhuocheng at this time, it will not help the defenders in the city at all.Therefore, it is believed that Li Hong's troops are at Dingxing Ferry, looking for opportunities to destroy the food and supplies of the Yellow Turban Army.Although the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army did not see Li Hongjun's camp with their own eyes, they all believed in their own judgment.

As a result, Li Hong rushed to Zhuocheng with his troops.He is also helpless.It is really meaningless to stand in a stalemate with Sun Qin's troops near the Dingxing Ferry.

A long-term stalemate will suppress Sun Qin at Dingxing Ferry, and if Sun Qin does not come out, there is no way to beat him.As long as Sun Qin leads the convoy on a long-distance march, he can always find a loophole, and he can be beaten if he finds a loophole.Moreover, the stalemate between the two sides means that for the cavalry, they have voluntarily given up their mobility and flexibility, and will lose a large number of opportunities to wipe out the enemy.So Li Hong ordered Lei Zi to stay with a group of troops and show up at the ferry every day, one to confuse the enemy, and the other to see if his grandson made any movement.Once the enemy moves, immediately notify the main force to look for opportunities along the way to wipe out the enemy with cameras.He himself took his troops back secretly to the vicinity of Zhuocheng, looking for opportunities.

The troops wandered for two days in the mountains near Xiaofang Mountain.Immediately after Li Hong received the news of the truce between the two sides in Zhuocheng, he immediately decided to attack the North Camp of the Yellow Turban Army.Huanglong was killed by Zhang Niujiao, and Huanglong's subordinates won over Zhang Niujiao. Maybe they didn't say anything, but the soldiers who followed Huanglong must have something in their hearts.Now this army is led by Zhang Baiqi. After four days of attacking the north gate of Zhuocheng, it is estimated that the army has suffered a lot of damage and the soldiers are exhausted. The timing of the attack is the most appropriate.

But Zhang Niujiao's West Day Camp is only five miles away from the Beida Camp, so it is very convenient for support.Li Hong didn't take it seriously.He fled with one blow and never stopped, no matter how fast Zhang Niujiao moved, he could only watch the wind and sigh.

Now Zhang Niujiao is watching the wind and sighing.

Zhang Niujiao assembled 1 horses at the fastest speed, avoided the soldiers who frantically fled back to the camp, made a slight detour, and then went straight to the Beida camp.

Although the soldiers who escaped were still in shock, they stood with their feet in the safe camp and heard the exciting sound of war drums in their ears, and their hearts were almost settled immediately.Called by the officers, the soldiers immediately regrouped and prepared to fight.With so many comrades dead, it's time for revenge.

Li Hong did not expect such a big harvest today. From the North Camp of the Yellow Turban Army to the West Camp, all the way were Yellow Turban soldiers.The deserters dispersed everything, and all the yellow scarf soldiers ran wildly, entangled together like headless flies, gathered in front of the cavalry army, retreated like a tide, and fled.Their unorganized way of escaping, on the contrary, delayed their escaping speed, and death fell on them faster.

The galloping cavalry destroyed everything, every obstacle, all life, leaving only fear and death.

"Withdraw, withdraw from the battlefield..."

Li Hong suddenly cried out.

The rapid and deep sound of the horn awakened the cavalry soldiers who were immersed in the bloody battle. Everyone looked at the yellow scarf deserters who were crying for their father and mother, and their blood-red eyes were full of murderous intent, and they still felt unwilling.

"Turn right, right...turn..."

"Withdraw, withdraw from the battlefield..."
Li Hong screamed hoarsely, wishing his voice could spread all over the world.

Seeing that some soldiers were fighting bravely while their horses were slowing down, Li Hong couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Today's battlefield is very strange. What are the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army doing in the wild when they don't sleep in the camp at night?Why haven't the reinforcements from the West Camp seen it yet?However, the war drum to inform the troops to gather has been beating for a long time in the direction of Xidaying, and it is estimated that Zhang Niujiao's reinforcements will soon arrive.If you took such a big advantage today, you'd be an idiot if you didn't leave.

"Withdraw...withdraw..." Li Hong kept calling.

The bullhorn blew violently, the sound was fierce, one higher than the other.

The Zuoqu troops on the outermost side are the beard and fist troops. The two military officers are bloody and are on the verge of death.The horses hadn't run three or four miles, the men hadn't killed enough, and the time hadn't been enough for a few cups of tea, so they were about to retreat.Fist immediately cursed, and urged the horse and some soldiers to give chase.

Huzi yelled twice but didn't stop. In his rage, he raised his knife and chopped it off.Seeing it out of the corner of Fist's eye, he was taken aback, roared wildly, reined in his horse, turned around, and raised his knife to block it.

"When..." There was a loud noise, his fists and arms went limp, and he almost fell off the horse.

Beard didn't even look at it, and roared loudly:
"Turn right... Withdraw... Immediately withdraw from the battlefield..."

The cavalrymen of Zuoqu heard the violent horn sound, knew that the matter was urgent, they dared not neglect, they turned their horses around one after another, and galloped away regardless of the Yellow Turban deserters on the battlefield.

The departure of the Zuo Qu warrior immediately made space, and then the Yushi Department of the Qu Qu, followed by the Wuwei Department of the Zhong Qu Yan, rushed away.The other troops fled quickly.

Surrounded by Yan Liang and a group of guards, Li Hong glanced back at the yellow scarf soldiers rushing from the west, laughed triumphantly, and quickly sank into the darkness.

The defenders of Zhuocheng were awakened by the loud noise and the sound of fighting outside the city. They thought that the Yellow Turban Army was coming to attack, and they all rushed up the city wall.

The camp of the Yellow Turban Army in the distance was hidden in the darkness, and they couldn't see anything. They didn't know what happened in the enemy camp that was screaming loudly.

Xian Yufu smiled all over his face. He kept shaking his head, pointed in the direction of the enemy camp, and said to Wu Chi who was beside him, "We looked for him everywhere, but he is here. That is a leopard. Zhang Niujiao has suffered. "

Wu Chi was in a good mood, and boasted, "A leopard is a leopard. It's elusive. It's amazing. It's a pity that it's too dark to see the situation on the other side."

Yan Rou stood on the north city gate, raised her hands and shouted wildly.Infected by him, the soldiers defending the city burst into cheers.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Leopard, leopard..."

While everyone was waiting anxiously, the sky finally dawned.

There was nothing left of the entire Beida Camp, except for the dead bodies everywhere, the collapsed gates, and the fallen fences, not a single tent could be seen, all of which had been razed to the ground by iron hooves.

From the North Camp to the vicinity of the West Camp, the corpses of enemy soldiers are everywhere.

Xian Yufu and Wu Chi accompanied the prefect Wang Ruo to the north gate tower.Yan Ruojun Sima Wang Tong followed behind them.

The three of them saw that the Yellow Turban Army's North Camp, which was still flying banners and filled with tents yesterday, was now in a mess, like a bloody slaughterhouse.They were stunned.

Wang Ru took a look, probably couldn't bear the smell of blood in the air and the disgusting battlefield, so he took several steps back.

He looked at Xian Yufu beside him, shook his head, and said with emotion: "The power of the Fengyun iron cavalry is indeed not something that flesh and blood can resist. The captain's military use is unpredictable, and it is beyond the reach of everyone. Everyone As the name suggests, it is like a vicious leopard, ready to eat anyone at any time. Zhang Niujiao has met his opponent now."

Yan Rou beside him said with a smile, "Tuoba Feng, Murong Ji, Xiongba, and Tituo were all defeated by him. Zhang Niujiao is his opponent."

"Everyone knows that leopards are good at attacking at night, but they can't defend against him. The Yellow Turban Bandits have been severely injured and tens of thousands of people died overnight. It is estimated that Zhang Niujiao will not be able to attack the city for the time being." Wu Chi walked over and smiled. Said.

"Now what he's thinking about is not whether he can attack the city, but whether he can escape from Zhuojun?" Yan Rou said exaggeratedly.

Xian Yufu pointed at him and said, "Ziyu, now Zhang Niujiao still has a considerable advantage on the battlefield in Zhuojun, you must not underestimate the enemy."

"You don't believe what I said?" Yan Rou laughed.

"Master Captain, is it really possible to keep Zhang Niujiao?" Wang Ru was in a very good mood because he won the battle and temporarily solved Zhuocheng's urgent need.Seeing Yan Rou's confident look, he couldn't help asking suspiciously.

"Of course. Last time we attacked the Xianbei army with him at night. After the siege of Yuyang was relieved, the situation in Yuyang was still very dangerous and did not improve at all. The people led the troops to fight in the Changqing Lake area alone. After several battles, the Xianbei fled back in a hurry. Murong Ji and Murong Invasion lost their lives. At that time, Zimin only had less than 1 cavalry, but now he has more than [-] Fengyun Iron Cavalry People, tens of thousands of people can be easily captured with a single horn."

Wang Ruo smiled easily.

"Ziyu probably forgot the advice that Captain Captain gave us."

Looking at the battlefield in the distance, Xian Yufu sighed, and said solemnly: "The people are a lone army, they can succeed in occasional attacks, but they can't be separated. It's hard to have any chance. If you want to repel Zhang Niujiao, to drive the Yellow Turban Army out of Youzhou, we still have to rely on Jizhou's army to solve the problem."

"It's a pity that it's too late, I can only ask God for help." Wu Chi said in a low voice.

Zhang Niujiao sat on the grass with a lonely expression.

Zhang Baiqi looked depressed, staring blankly at the treetops, wondering what he was thinking?
"It would be fine if we didn't adjust our defense at night, and we wouldn't lose so much." Zhang Baiqi muttered to himself.

"Bei Daying will still be wiped out by him. What is the difference between 3 dead and 10 dead? Since he has been targeted, there will always be losses." Zhang Niujiao stood up and patted the head with a heavy heart. Zhang Baiqi comforted: "On the battlefield of Zhuojun, we still have a clear advantage. Although the siege of the city is temporarily difficult, as long as Yanzi's [-] troops arrive, all problems can be solved, including this leopard."

The two of them glanced at each other, both feeling a little apprehensive about each other.Leopard, scary leopard.
