Chapter 15: Bocai regroups, Liu Jing stabs in the back
In Changshe City, Huangfu Song got closer and naturally saw the fire burning in Bocai's army. He pulled out his Han sword and waved it forward: "Open the city gate and kill the enemy!"
As the city gates opened wide and the sergeants filed out, the 20,000-strong army moved with a momentum that was naturally beyond what Liu Jingjun could match.
Naturally, Bo Caijun also discovered that the Changshe city gate was open, but at the moment they couldn't care less.
The Yellow Turban Army itself was a gathering of refugees and could be said to be a ragtag group. At this moment, they were attacked by unknown enemies and their camp was on fire. They were basically in a panic.
In addition, Bo Cai, the commander of the First Army, failed to organize the army in time. Now the whole army is like headless flies. The nearby water source is too far away. Once the first person escapes, the rest can only follow suit.
As soon as Bo walked some distance to the south, he discovered that waves of heat were coming, and the fire had spread. Some of the soldiers escaped, and some who could not escape were already buried in the sea of fire.
Before Bo Cai had time to give orders, he heard the dull sound of drums. When he looked closely, he saw a large group of troops appeared in the south. Under the light of the fire, he saw the word "Liu" written on the big flag.
Suddenly, I felt frightened. Could it be that the imperial court had sent another army?
Regardless of anything else, Bocai also joined the torrent of escape. He had to return to the camp quickly. He still had a horse! He could only escape by riding a horse.
Liu Da led the army from the rear and drove the Yellow Turbans forward to flee.
The Changshe army led by Huangfu Song rushed out from the air and cut off the Yellow Turban army from the middle.
Fu Xie rode a fast horse, holding a ring-shou knife, slashing left and right on the horse. He was surrounded by thieves wearing yellow scarves.
The situation at Huangfu Song was the same. Most of the infantry under his command were chasing, and the real killing was done by the cavalry.
The Sanhe cavalry under his command are constantly charging and killing in the torrent of escape. Now the Yellow Turban Army just wants to escape, how can they think of resisting!
The results of the battle continued to expand, and blood spilled out wantonly, forming a small stream on the ground.
After completing the arson, Liu Jing and his team of 20 people hurried back to where they were, mounted their horses and rushed to the battlefield.
With Huangfu Song's army intercepted in the middle, the Yellow Turban Army's escape speed quickly slowed down. There were still some people in the middle who panicked and chose their own way, and a large-scale stampede occurred.
"Everyone! Kill all these thieves! No one will be left alive!"
Huangfu Song raised his eight-sided Han sword high in the formation, and his majestic voice spread everywhere.
Bo Cai also found his war horse at this time. Thanks to the fact that most of the Yellow Turbans were farmers and did not know how to ride a horse, otherwise the horse would have been ridden away by the fleeing people!
Although there were horses, Bo Cai knew that the situation was so chaotic that it might not be easy to use the horses. At the same time, Huangfu Song's voice of "leave no one behind" floated in the distance.
"Don't panic! I'm Bocai!" On horseback, Bocai reined in his horse and raised his sword high, "The Han army is preparing to kill us all, we can't escape! Hurry up and pick up weapons to counterattack them!"
As a commander-in-chief, Bo Cai still had appeal, and Huangfu Song's words acted as a catalyst. Most of the Yellow Turbans began to resist, instead of just running for their lives like before.
As the Yellow Turbans stopped to resist, Liu Jing also caught up with the Yellow Turbans.
Under Liu Da's command, the phalanx came into contact with the enemy, and the formation was tightly integrated. Every thrust of the soldiers' spears would take away a living life and form a vacuum zone.
In panic, the Yellow Turbans followed Bo Cai's orders to resist. The chaotic attacks did not form a joint force, and were almost all blocked by the large shields in the front row, and then their lives were taken away by spears.
Liu Jing came to the front of the front with twenty thousand cavalry. He did not choose to contact the enemy head-on. Instead, he kept wandering around the flanks and killing stragglers.
The advantage of light cavalry lies in their mobility. The Yellow Turbans are all infantry, so relying on the mobility of horses to constantly roam and kill the enemy is the most perfect strategy.
Liu Jing looked forward. Bo Cai on horseback was too conspicuous among the yellow scarf infantry, and the energy panel appeared in the void again.
【Name】Bo Cai
【Age】40
【Command】72
【Force】74
【Intelligence】52
【Politics】25
【Charm】40
[Characteristic] Yixin (morale will not decrease after the battle)
Envoy (can organize the local people to solve the logistics problems of one's own troops)
Liu Jing thought to himself: "He is indeed a thief general. With his characteristics, it's no wonder that the panicked Yellow Turban immediately rose up to resist. [Command] 72, [Force] 74. You can't fight head-on."
Throw the horse spear in your hand to the cavalry beside you, take out the bow from the side of the horse with your left hand, take out an arrow from the quiver with your right hand and put it on the string, lift the bow from bottom to top, and make it at eye level.
The left hand holds the bow like an eagle's talon, the index finger and middle finger hold the arrow shaft behind the arrow cluster, and the thumb of the right hand drives the arrow buckle and pulls the string to the right chest with full force, as if the moon is spitting out of one's arms!
He held the bow tightly in the tiger's mouth of his left hand and aimed at Bo Cai from a distance. At this time, the bow was stretched as wide as the full moon.
Three seconds later, Liu Jing naturally let go of his hands, "Stretch!" and the bowstring also made a sound.
"Whoosh!" A sound broke through the air, and the arrow flew towards Bo Cai, who was slashing on horseback.
Bo Cai also felt a cold air coming from behind him! Just as he was about to turn around, a sharp pain came from his right shoulder, making him cry out in pain!
"Ah!" He turned his head and looked, and saw a cold arrow hitting his right shoulder. Looking at the tail of the arrow, he saw a handsome young man at least a hundred steps away from him, with a proud smile on his face.
Bocai looked at it hard, trying to remember this face in his mind so that he could avenge the arrow in the future. At the same time, he broke the arrow shaft with his hand and quickly urged his horse to escape in the direction of Yangzhai.
"It's a pity that the shot at a distance of a hundred steps is still not very accurate." Liu Jing said with some regret.
His arrow was originally aimed at Bocai's head, hoping to defeat the enemy with one blow, but the distance was still a bit far, and the arrow still deflected slightly during its flight, and finally hit Bocai's right shoulder.
However, the final result was not bad. Bocai was hit by an arrow in his right shoulder and could no longer fight, so he fled in panic. If he had been allowed to continue fighting, under the influence of the [One Heart] characteristic, he might be able to organize a Yellow Turban army.
Even if they can defeat it, the Han army will still have to pay a heavy price.
Huangfu Song and Fu Xie were both working on horses, and they saw the arrow clearly, and they all said in unison: "What an arrow!"
Most of the Yellow Turbans in the field were still resisting vigorously, trying to fight their way out, but they did not notice that their Qu Shuaibo had left them and fled for his life.
Fu Xie pointed the sword in his hand in the direction of Bocai's escape and shouted: "The thief will not escape!"
Fu Xie's sergeants also shouted with the general: "The thief will not run away! The thief will not run away!"
The Yellow Turban Army suddenly looked in the direction that Fu Xie pointed. Under the night, they could see a shadow in the distance through the firelight, but they couldn't tell who it was. But looking around the formation, Bo Cai's figure had long disappeared. Who else could it be if it wasn't him?
?
Bo Cai's departure from the battle formation not only interrupted the [One Heart] characteristic, but also brought a negative blow to the morale of the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army, which had just regrouped, turned into a headless fly. Without a command, it could only run for its own life.
"Disband the formation! The army is pursuing!" Liu Jing pointed the bow in his hand to the west.
The formation under his command was immediately deconstructed, and the sergeants were like hungry wild beasts in the forest, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty light, and they rushed towards the direction where the Yellow Turban Army was escaping.
The battlefield suddenly became one-sided! The yellow turban bandits kept falling with swords and spears, and Liu Jing also took back the horse. With the speed of the Dawan horse, he kept killing the escaping thieves.
With running and chasing, the battlefield continued to move to the west, which was the place where Bocai started his power in Yingchuan and the direction of Yangzhai, the seat of Yingchuan County.
When they almost reached the river, a dull drum sound came from the north, and the ground shook slightly. It was obviously the movement of a large-scale march.
As soon as Huang Jin heard this, he became even more panicked and ran away faster.
Liu Jing, who was at the forefront of pursuing the Yellow Turbans, reined in his horse and stopped. He did not remember that there was an ambush in the north in this plan. Huangfu Song's army was surrounded by Changshe, and it was unlikely that they would leave the city to set up an ambush. Could it be...
Under the darkness of night, my eyesight was limited. Only when I got closer did I see clearly that the leader was a group of cavalry, about several hundred people. The armor and swords on their bodies looked like the standard of the Sanhe Cavalry.
The large square formation at the rear also gradually appeared under the night cover, and the characters "Zhu", "Sun" and "Cao" could be vaguely seen on the red flag.
Although Zhu Jun was defeated and retreated to Xinzheng, he kept looking for opportunities to counterattack and sent out scouts to monitor the situation of Bocai's troops. When he learned that Liu Jing and Huangfu Song took advantage of the darkness to attack Bocai tonight, he couldn't help but applaud.
Xinzheng was only about forty miles away from Changshe. Since Zhu Jun did not know the fire attack plan, scouts came and went, and the army was hurriedly organized. The battle had been going on for two hours before he arrived in a hurry.
The banner with the word "Sun" refers to Sun Jian, Zhu Jun's deputy general. When Liu Jing visited Zhu Jun last time, he also wanted to meet this fierce general who attacked the city. Unfortunately, Sun Jian was sent by Zhu Jun to do other things and had no chance to meet him.
Needless to say, the banner of the word "Cao" is Meng De, who was praised in the Yuedan Commentary as "the capable minister in governing the world and the traitor in troubled times".
It turned out that after Yang Ci entered the palace to persuade Ling Emperor Liu Hong not to change his general, news of the successive great victories in the north also reached Luoyang. Liu Hong naturally followed the advice and did not change his general.
It was not an option to drag on the war in Yuzhou, so they decided to send another new army to reinforce Yuzhou. With the recommendation of many forces, Cao Cao became the best candidate to lead the new army.
Liu Hong gave Cao Cao a position as a cavalry captain and asked him to recruit an army and rush to Yuzhou as soon as possible. After Cao Cao recruited more than 4,000 people, he was eager to make contributions. He did not train for long and led his army to Yuzhou. In Xinzheng and Zhu Jun
, Sun Jian meets up.
At this moment, the three of them led the army to the battlefield.
Under Zhu Jun's orders, the army joined the queue to kill the Yellow Turbans. The army under his command was defeated in the first battle, and then huddled in Xinzheng. The whole army was holding a big breath, and now it finally happened.
Opportunity to release.
The men and horses on both sides did not say hello, knowing in their hearts that it was important to kill the enemy. There were too many of the Yellow Turban tribesmen, so they had to kill more when they got the chance, otherwise the elephants could be killed by too many ants.
