Chapter 20 Breaking Out of the Encirclement

In addition to leaving the necessary people to keep watch, most of the other Yellow Turban thieves have fallen asleep on the quiet bonfire. They will recover more physical strength after a little more rest, and have more hope for breaking through. Although Ma Yue said it easily, he knew that if he really wanted to break through the siege, he would be afraid he would not be so optimistic.

Even if you can break through the siege, you still need to have enough physical strength to escape from the siege of the official army.

Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao were also completely sleepy. They followed Ma Yue on a protruding cliff, looking down at the movements of the government troops at the foot of the mountain. Although the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, they almost opened their eyes. It was the darkest time before dawn. On the opposite mountain, the fire was still lit. A faint light flashed through Ma Yue's eyes and said in a deep voice: "The plan has changed. You can't wait until dawn to break through. Wake up the brothers immediately and go down the mountain!"

Guan Hai asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Ma Yue reached out and pointed to the fire on the opposite mountain and said in a deep voice: "The commander of the government army is a very powerful character. Look, there are eyeliners of the government army on the opposite mountain. Once it is dawn, the eyeliners of the government army on the mountain can see our every move. Once we take action, we can immediately report our movements to the government army at the foot of the mountain. The government army at the foot of the mountain can concentrate its forces to prepare for the fight in advance."

Pei Yuanshao said in a lost voice: "This is bad."

Ma Yue said in a narrow voice: "Now is the darkest time, and it is also the time when the government troops are most tired. We can go without torches and go down the mountain to break through while it is still dark!"

Pei Yuanshao said: "The mountain road is rugged and steep. If you don't use a torch, you can easily fall into the mountain stream and get injured."

Ma Yue said, "I don't care about these things anymore, so I can tell my brothers to go down the mountain hand in hand to avoid making mistakes."

Guan Hai said sternly: "Boqi, this group of officials is not ordinary cunning. We fled south from Wancheng, but we suffered a lot of losses. Will there be ambush at the foot of the mountain? Once we fail to break through, we will fall into a siege, then it will be all over."

"No!" Ma Yue said decisively, "The government army must think that we will go down the mountain to break through after dawn!"

Guan Hai said sternly: "Boqi is so sure?"

"affim!"

"Why?"

Ma Yue's eyes showed a wolf-like look in his eyes: "Because the official army doesn't know how powerful I am!"

Ma Yue's unquestionable tone revealed a strong confidence, which made Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao feel excited. Any difficulties that come to Ma Yue seemed to be able to be solved. No matter how dangerous the situation is, as long as Ma Yue is there, there is still hope of survival. It was from this moment that Ma Yue established absolute prestige in Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao's hearts.

Is Ma Yue really so confident? Of course not! This guy is just taking risks and gambling. Ma Yue always believes in a truth. He is born in troubled times and his life is gambling. If he loses his bet, he doesn't care about his life. If he wins the bet, he will win everything, that's all.

...

At the foot of the mountain, the leaders of various volunteer soldiers and Qin Jie did not sleep all night.

Although the mountain is steep, it is only a dozen miles in radius, and it is a lonely peak. Qin Jie's command has only more than 3,000 volunteer soldiers. Although the forces are insufficient to encircle the mountain, it is more than enough to guard the key passes at all intersections. What's more, Qin Jie is sure that the yellow turbans on the mountain have become frightened birds, and he will never dare to go down the mountain to break through before dawn.

When Zhu Jun's army arrives after dawn, it will only be a matter of time before it can be wiped out this group of Yellow Turban Remnants.

In the camp, Zou Jing bowed to Qin Jie and suggested: "Sir, have you sent a few groups of sergeants to sneak up the mountain to spy on the bandits?"

"No need to do this. I think the bandits have become frightened birds, so I will not dare to act rashly. You can arrange your army and horses to carefully guard all intersections and prevent one bandit from leaving. At that time, I will ask General Zhu for me for you."

Qin Jie waved his hand and stroked the flowing willow beards under his chin with confidence. This guy was a little confused by the victory last night. Qin Jie was a scholar who was well-read and read poetry, and he was very happy to be aware of himself. After designing last night, everything was indeed as he expected. He was trapped in the Yellow Turban in the Jedi of Jingshan. The generals of various volunteers had long admired him. Qin Jie was naturally proud of him.

After Qin Jie said this, Zou Jing also felt that his worries were unnecessary. The Yellow Turban thieves on the mountain did not know the facts and reality of the officials at the foot of the mountain. How dare they go down the mountain to break through at night? If you take a step back, even if the officials went down the mountain to break through, you can't roll down the mountain blindly? As long as they set off torches, Wenpin on the mountain could find out the movement and naturally report to the camp, and the army could arrange preparations calmly. Therefore, the Yellow Turban thieves on the Jingshan Mountain could be said to be in a desperate situation and could not fly.

...

On the top of Jingshan Mountain, several bonfires were lit. Ma Yue asked some Yellow Turban thieves to cut hay into straw men, then put on the clothes of the Yellow Turban thieves, sit or lie around the fire. Wen Pin on the opposite mountain looked from a distance, as if the Yellow Turban thieves were still on the top of the mountain, so he sent a signal to the camp at the foot of the mountain to indicate that everything was fine.

On the hillside of Jingshan, the night was as bright as ink. Horse Yue took the lead, Pei Yuanshao broke the back, Guan Hai was escorting Zou Yuniang in the middle, and more than 1,000 Yellow Turban bandits held hands like a string of grasshoppers, touching the stones down the mountain with difficulty. During this period, the Yellow Turban occasionally made a mistake and was also pulled by the left and right, so that they would not fall into the mountain stream.

When they were about to go to the foot of the mountain, a group of officials sat around the bonfire at the intersection ahead, blocking the way. The soldiers leaned against each other and kept warm around the fire. They seemed to have fallen asleep, but they were not untied and kept their hands on their hands. Once there was a slight movement, they could immediately get up to fight.

It seems that he is a well-trained elite soldier. Ma Yue's brows were furrowing in an instant, as if he had bad luck in gambling.

Although this group of officials has only five people and is easy to eliminate, it is difficult not to disturb another group of officials from a hundred steps away. Once the group of officials is alarmed, the camp of officials will be a thousand steps away. If the government troops in the camp are as alert as these guys, the large gang of officials will be able to reach the battle in a very short time, and the Yellow Turbans will fall into a tough battle.

Ma Yue didn't dare to lead this group of sheep to fight against the government army, which was basically no different from suicide.

The direction Ma Yue chose to break through was the northern foot of Jingshan, which was Huang Zhong's defense area. Huang Zhong was very skilled in martial arts, and his archery skills were extraordinary. He was familiar with military books and proficient in military tactics, and had the potential of a general! The only disadvantage may be that he had not led many troops and had insufficient experience in the battle, but the allocation of troops in the mountains was still impeccable, which made Ma Yue, the rookie, at a loss.

What to do? It’s almost dawn. Once the east is white, the Yellow Turban Thief who has already reached the foot of the mountain will find it difficult to hide its traces. It must immediately break out of the encirclement and cannot remain the same.

Damn, just die, fight!

Taking a deep breath of cold air, Ma Yue gritted his teeth and stood up. His shrill roar suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Brothers, don't fight with the officers and soldiers, spread your legs and follow me north... run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Yue was the first to escape. More than a thousand yellow turbans followed him like shadows, closely following him, sweeping across the mountain pass guarded by the five officials and soldiers like a tide. The poor five officials and soldiers were shot and killed by Guan Hai before they even had time to resist, and one arrow penetrated three of them!

However, the group of officials a hundred steps away was inevitably alarmed, and they shouted shrillly. Soon, the official army camp a thousand steps away was moving, and the long and long horn began to ring, and then the intense drum sounded also thumped.

At this time, the first ray of dawn just broke through the darkness and fell on the northern foot of Jingshan Mountain. On the snowy surface, a wave of yellow waves were surging towards the back.

...

Qin Jie's camp.

When everyone suddenly heard the drum sound, everyone was shocked. Qin Jie even shouted loudly: "Where is the drum sound?"

Huang Zhong listened for a moment, his face changed drastically: "Sir, the Yellow Turban bandits are breaking through the defense zone from the end!"

"This is impossible!" Qin Jie said in shock, "If the Yellow Turban bandit breaks through, there will be news about Wenpin on Mount Wu."

Cai Mao looked moved and said, "Can it be the soldiers who were drunk and causing trouble?"

Huang Zhong's face turned cold and replied: "There is a bitter place in the camp and there is no wine, so why are you drunk?"

Cai Mao's expression froze and he turned his face awkwardly.

Huang Zhong bowed to Qin Jie and said in a deep voice: "Master Qin, let's go back to the camp to find out what's going on."
