At night in late May, the water vapor blowing from the clear water moistened the dry camp. It was neither cold nor hot, just comfortable.
Originally, such a comfortable night should be a good time for cruise ships. But the confrontation between the two armies during the day turned out to be a murderous scene.
So at this moment, except for the murmur of Diao Dou's horses in the camps on both sides and the gurgling waves of the clear water, the world was quiet.
During the day, Heishan, who was annoyed by his left beard, was sleeping with his arms around a young man as handsome as a girl.
Heishan was once a poor man, simple and strong, and had never thought about such things. But after he entered Taiping Road, he became one of the most respected commanders in the sect, and he began to enjoy life like the Han army officials.
.
The generals of the Han army were so good as male attendants, and Heishan naturally chose a male attendant who was more charming than a woman to solve the depression of his time in the army.
During the day, Zuo Beard Zhangba said that he wanted Zhang Ji to be the general of the public, and Heishan was very angry. Because Heishan believed that he was now third in the army, so he should naturally inherit the position of general.
But now Zuo Beard Zhangba wants to promise his things to others, and Heishan's anger can be imagined. If Zuo Xiao hadn't stopped him during the day, he would have insisted on questioning Zuo Beard Zhangba.
But if he really wanted to fall out, Heishan wouldn't dare. During this period of time, Zuo Beard Zhangba had killed countless elders in the sect, and even Ma Yuanyi, the former divine envoy, was killed by this person.
Speaking of which, Ma Yuanyi was also miserable.
Originally he didn't have to die, but for some reason there were rumors later that Zhang Jiao had previously intended to pass the position to Ma Yuanyi.
Now Ma Yuanyi became a thorn in Zuo Zhangba's side. On the day he killed Zhang Bao, he also sent Ma Yuanyi away.
In this way, Ma Yuanyi, who had narrowly escaped death several times, did not die in the hands of the Han army, but died in the hands of his comrade Zuo Beard Zhangba.
Therefore, facing the murderous left-bearded Zhangba, Heishan felt embarrassed, but no matter what, he still had to fight for what he had to fight for, otherwise he would be underestimated by the military leaders.
While thinking about this, the charming male waiter touched her again and aroused Heishan's anger, so he had another hard time.
After that, Black Mountain became ethereal, and soon he was snoring deeply while hugging his smooth and tender body.
In his dazed dream, Heishan felt as if many people were making noise there, etc.
Suddenly Heishan turned over and jumped up from the bed. He heard the roar of mountains and tsunami outside the tent, and the roar of people. At this time, Heishan was still sleepy. He first kicked over the shivering servant, and then rushed forward with his crotch naked.
Out of the camp.
At this time, the entire camp was illuminated by a red light, and everywhere you looked you could see soldiers running around in a panic, and there were shouts of killing one after another.
Heishan was so shocked that he sweated all over, and suddenly let out a sharp scream:
"Quickly, put on my armor."
At this time, the soldiers who had surrounded Heishan first wrapped Heishan in a hastily yellow collar, and then hurriedly put the armor on Heishan.
When Heishan was trying to organize the chaotic troops, one of his generals rushed over with his men.
This man's clothes and armor were scattered, and he said sadly to Heishan:
"Qu Shuai, we are defeated. The Han thief came out of nowhere. He suddenly appeared and started killing indiscriminately. The brothers were unprepared and now they are in chaos."
Heishan was surprised and asked:
"What's going on with the Chinese Army?"
The man said:
"It's worse than us. Now some people are shouting that Zuo Xiuzhangba is dead. Anyway, the hearts of the brothers are confused. How about we withdraw."
Heishan kicked his general over and cursed:
"Get out of here, Qingshui is behind us, where can we evacuate? The night is so dark, how can we evacuate? Pick up your sword and come with me to kill the Han army. There are only a few of them? Why are you panicking?"
After saying that, Heishan took the handed sword and rushed towards the chaos.
But the entire camp was engulfed in endless fireworks, almost every tent was set on fire, countless people were wailing in the flames, and the brave Zuo Zhangba could not be seen yet.
Heishan knew that Zuo Xiangba was the first person to take the lead in fighting. If nothing else happened, this person should have appeared on the front line long ago.
So Heishan felt nervous, thinking that something might really happen to Zuo Zhangba.
Heishan rolled his eyes and quickly ordered:
"Let's go to the Yellow Turban Cavalry Army first."
The Yellow Turban Cavalry Army was stationed to the west of the camp, so Heishan led the remaining troops in a large circle, and after a bloody battle, they finally reached the Cavalry Army's station.
The Yellow Turban Cavalry Army was also in chaos at this time. One of the two cavalry generals was missing and the other was at a loss.
Fortunately, Montenegro came with his army, and the cavalry general who was still there shouted alertly:
"Shuai Qu is in front, let's go and greet him."
Over there, someone had already helped Heishan onto the horse. But Heishan was not pretentious at all. After jumping on the horse, the first order he gave was:
"Turn in with me and cross the clear water north. Hurry."
After a period of silence, a team of more than a thousand horses broke out of the camp in chaos and ran towards the shallows upstream of Qingshui.
…
When Heishan and the others finally found a ford and waded across the river, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there were no pursuers behind them.
Ping Han, the cavalry commander behind, was uneasy and said cautiously:
"I wonder how the Grand Master is doing?"
As he said this, the man also took a look at the Black Mountain in front of him.
The generals beside Pinghan all muttered:
"Didn't you say he was dead? Otherwise, the camp would be in such chaos?"
Then there was another moment of silence.
Suddenly Heishan burst into laughter, and everyone was puzzled and confused.
Just listen to Heishan Road:
"Looking at it now, the Han army is indeed very weak and has not come to pursue them yet. As long as we return to the camp on the north bank of Qingshui, there will still be at least 40,000 to 50,000 troops there. When we get there, we will regroup and annihilate the Han army.
From now on, won’t we become the biggest contributors to this battle?”
Heishan knew that military morale had reached a low point, and if he didn't say anything, anything could happen, so he was busy trying to impress everyone.
Sure enough, after Heishan said these words, everyone's mood improved a lot. Although they knew that Heishan's words could stabilize them to a large extent, Heishan was right about one thing, that is, the Yellow Turban Army who stayed on the north bank of Qingshui still had
Forty to fifty thousand people.
This battle was all a ruse by the Han army, and its real strength was still inferior to theirs.
Soon, Heishan led more than a thousand cavalry troops to the camp on the north bank of Qingshui. They were shocked to find that the original left-shaped flag had been replaced by an apricot-yellow flag with the words "Xingdao for Heaven" written on it.
And then, Heishan saw countless armored knights with their horses raised high, pressing in from all directions.
At this moment, Heishan didn't know that his last chance, that is, the 40,000 to 50,000 Yellow Turban Army had already been taken away by Taishan Army.
Seeing the Taishan Army's assault cavalry getting closer and closer, Heishan sighed, and then as if all his strength had been drained away, the Huanshou Sword in his hand could no longer be held and fell to the ground.
The Yellow Turban cavalrymen behind them saw that the leader was like this, and they all lost their minds and surrendered.
Just when they thought that these oncoming assault cavalry would capture them, they saw that these elite armored cavalry did not even look at themselves, and just passed them and ran towards the other side of the clear water.
Heishan was in the dust all over the sky, his face flushed. Suddenly he saw a knight in mirror armor leading a group of brave cavalry slowly passing by.
Heishan was so happy that he suddenly shouted:
"General Chongtian, avenge our fallen comrades!"
"revenge!"
The Yellow Turban cavalrymen behind them cried and shouted:
"revenge!"
And over there, the knight in mirror armor ignored it and just passed by.
When the dust was flying and countless riders were crossing the Black Mountains, a song suddenly came from the front:
"Raise swords and soldiers, exchange for peace, and restore the Qingming Dynasty to the world!"
Listen again:
"Plow the fields, live in houses, and leave health and well-being to all the people!"
The singing was solemn and loud, shaking the mountains and rivers.
But the knights of Heishan, who had already been robbed by this heroic spirit, looked at the scene of thousands of knights curling up, and their hearts were in turmoil.
And over there, the person who passed by wearing mirror armor before was naturally our Soaring General, Zhang Chong.
Before, he heard the words shouted by the defeated Yellow Turban Cavalry General, but he was quite disapproving of this man in his heart.
Since you know you want to avenge your brothers, why do you pretend to be someone else? If you are a real man, just go with him and kill him with a sword.
So Zhang Chong was indifferent to these words.
But in the end, Zhang Chong wanted to give them a chance, so he took the lead in singing the military song.
When they finished singing, Zhang Chong waited for a long time, but did not see the yellow scarf cavalry coming up. At this time, Zhang Chong knew that although these people were alive, they were already dead.
Following the path taken by the Yellow Turban Cavalry Army before, Zhang Chong led three thousand cavalry through the water and quietly arrived at the south bank of Qingshui.
At this time, there was no sound on the south bank of Qingshui.
Zhang Chong, Li Hu, Xu Huang and other cavalry generals looked at this situation and knew that the Yellow Turban Army on the south bank was probably in danger.
So all the cavalrymen silently increased their horse speed in order to reach the former garrison of the Yellow Turban Army as quickly as possible.
After a while, Zhang Chong finally arrived with his army, but what a miserable scene they faced at this moment.
All I saw was blood in the sky and the earth. It was clear that the Yellow Turban Army was all wearing yellow clothes and yellow turbans, but at this moment they all seemed to be covered in a layer of blood.
No one knows how many people died in this camp, but those with enough imagination may have never seen so many dead people in their lives.
Zhang Chong was silent, and the assault riders behind him were also silent. The atmosphere was very depressing.
The camp is filled with corpses and blood-red soil.
Zhang Zhan suddenly turned his horse's head around and headed towards the west.
Li Hu, Xu Huang and other cavalry officers also said nothing and followed Zhang Chong on horseback.
They didn't need to ask any more questions to know that Qu Shuai had only one thought at this moment:
"revenge!"
…
About ten miles away from the battlefield here, there is an army stretching for more than a mile. They seem to be retreating, but the whole army is filled with joy.
This army was the Qinghe New Army that had just won a great victory.
Thanks to the pre-war strategy and the bravery of the soldiers, the Han army in this battle wiped out hundreds of thieves with only a very small loss of troops.
In just five or six days after dispatching troops from Qinghe, they had already won two major victories, wiping out more than 40,000 to 50,000 enemies, which was an unprecedented victory for the Han army.
At this time, these new Qinghe troops knew that they were already a well-deserved powerful Han army, and an army with its own military spirit was being tempered.
Of course, these people have not thought about whether the Yellow Turban Army was too organized, which allowed them to achieve such great results, but victory is victory and all justice.
Originally, when the Qinghe Han Army defeated the Hebei Yellow Turbans on the south bank at night, they planned to continue going north to attack the remaining Yellow Turbans on the north bank.
But Tan Ma reported that an army that did not know the flag was heading towards this place.
Shen Pei immediately guessed that the army coming here must be the Taishan Army.
Although they did not know how they broke through the Zhangshui defense line, Shenpei already knew that the chance of a decisive battle with the Hebei Yellow Turbans had disappeared, and they had to evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible.
When the military officers of each battalion received the order to retreat, they knew that the Taishan Army was coming. Although they wanted to have a chance with the so-called undefeated mythical Taishan Army, they still followed the order and withdrew their troops.
From here we can also see the gap in military management between the Han Army in Qinghe and the Han Army in Hebei. When the Taishan Army came to the west, the Yellow Turbans in Hebei, which was closer, knew nothing about it. On the contrary, the New Army in Qinghe, which was farther away, had already learned about military information.
.
Although they were unwilling to do so, the battalions of the Han army, which were bound by strict military laws, retreated one after another. Except for some particularly valuable seizures, most of them were abandoned by them in the Yellow Turban camp.
So once you retreat, do it quickly and lightly.
But no matter how fast they go, they can't beat Zhang Chong's vengeful fury from behind.
For ten miles, the Taishan Army pursued them with all their strength, and finally saw the rear column of the Qinghe Han Army on a small slope.
At this moment, the performance of the Taishan Army's assault cavalry was not good. Because the previous attack on the Yellow Turban Army's camp on the north bank of Qingshui relied on the long-distance attack of the assault cavalry.
Now he only rested for the rest of the night and had to chase the enemy ten miles away. One can imagine how exhausted his mental state was.
And because I have been using horses before, a lot of horsepower has been consumed. If I don't rest, my mount's legs may become weak in the middle of the charge.
Therefore, at this moment, the Taishan Army's assault cavalry were not busy attacking, but were like a pack of hungry wolves, lingering far behind to consume their prey.
The Qinghe New Army, which was lagging behind, also discovered traces of the Taishan Army's sudden cavalry and hurriedly reported it to the camp leader Jiang Yiqu.
That's right, our Jiang Yiqu has just become a dead soldier, and now he is the queen again. He is really a real person.
This is in line with the saying, the more you use it, the better it will be, and the better it will be, the better it will be.
When he learned that behind him was the overwhelming Taishan Army, Jiang Yiqu lamented the speed of the Taishan Army's arrival. On the other hand, he quickly sent a military report to the Chinese army in front and waited for the review of the next plan.
But Jiang Yiqu never expected that what he was waiting for was not the reinforcements sent by the trial, but a military order like this:
"Let your troops hold on to the slope here to buy time for the army to evacuate."
Jiang Yiqu was so angry that he stripped the soldiers of the Chinese army who came to deliver the military orders and beat them up.
No wonder Jiang Yiqu was so angry that he lost his mind, because the twenty dead soldiers who attacked the Yellow Turban Army from the tunnel at night were all his tribesmen.
Either he is his companion, or he is a direct clan brother or nephew. Without this relationship, these people would not praise Jiang Yiqu so much for his position.
But in this night attack, although Jiang Yiqu killed the drunken and exhausted Zuo Beard Zhangba and brought his head back to the Han army, all twenty of his dead warriors died outside Zuo Beard Zhangba's camp.
.
Jiang Yiqu was not angry at that time because he knew that this was the fate of these people.
From Jiang Yiqu's name, we know that he is from the Yiqu family in Qinghe. Over the past hundreds of years, most of their ethnic groups have disappeared due to plunder and hunting by the Han, but there are still many people left in Zeye.
Later, the Han generals recruited soldiers, and Jiang Yiqu took the best members of his clan to recruit, just to lead his clansmen to change their way of life.
So when the tribesmen killed for a head with a beard that was eight feet long, Jiang Yiqu resented it, because he knew that these bastards would finally have a chance to work as hard as the Han people.
But reality soon broke Jiang Yiqu's dream. When Zuo Beard's head was brought to the judge, Jiang Yiqu saw the greed on everyone's faces, but no one looked at Jiang Yiqu seriously.
Later, Jiang Yiqu was assigned to the rear, and the reinforcements he asked for later became the military order that now requires him to defend.
Jiang Yiqu lost confidence in these men, but he did not give up the idea of surrender, because he knew that the enemy would not let him go when they saw the meat farm on the south bank of Qingshui after knowing that he had killed the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.
So, this time, Jiang Yiqu has to live for himself.
