The sound of killing suddenly rang out in the stillness of the summer night. It was like a heavy hammer suddenly shattering the calm lake surface. In an instant, the originally drowsy defenders on the city suddenly shivered and shook hands.
Holding the weapon tightly in his hand, he looked intently towards the city.
The firelight flickered, and the coalition camp that stood outside Ruyin City like an ancient beast suddenly began to stir from the outside. Through the stars in the night sky and the firelight on the ground, the gloomy defenders at the top of the city all saw it in unison.
A bright yellow flag fluttering in the wind.
"The military flag! It's the military flag of our Yellow Turban Army! The reinforcements are coming! The reinforcements from Hanzhong are coming to our aid!"
Like a tide, cheerful cheers instantly spread across the city. The next moment, almost all the soldiers in Ruyin City received an extremely exciting news, "Hanzhong reinforcements have arrived! Ruyin City is saved!"
"Report——! Your Highness, good news! Our army's reinforcements have appeared outside the city! They are fighting with the enemy in the south of the city!"
"What?!" The Yellow Turban generals who were planning a breakout in the Golden Dome tent all night suddenly shouted "Wow!". Did you hear that right? The reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Army?! Are they really coming?
It was already the fifteenth day that the Yellow Turban Army was trapped in Ruyin City. There had been no movement outside the city these days. The generals had no hope of reinforcements from Hanzhong. Qin Yang, who knew the inside story, was even more worried.
Having determined the matter of "Pang Tong", with the suggestions of Zhang Ning and Guo Jia, they have already begun to plan how to break out of the encirclement.
"Have you seen clearly whose flag it is?!" Suddenly hearing the word "reinforcement", Qin Yang's heart suddenly moved and he asked hurriedly.
"I can't see clearly. The attack was launched behind the enemy's formation. The distance is too far..." the messenger said truthfully.
"Let's go! Go to the city and have a look!" Qin Yang's eyes flashed and he walked outside the tent first.
The top of Ruyin South City was already illuminated by countless torches like daylight. When Qin Yang led the Yellow Turban generals to the top of the city, the coalition camp outside the city was already in chaos.
The roar of "boom" fighting spirit, the cry of killing, and the sound of weapons clashing are endless. The coalition soldiers who were scattered due to the sudden impact are gathering in an orderly manner. At this moment, the battlefield has already rushed to the coalition forces.
The middle part of the camp.
"Sure enough, they are the flags and uniforms of our Yellow Turban Army..." Qin Yang saw the big flags darting left and right in the coalition camp at the first glance.
"Could this... be Zhuge Liang's treacherous plan?" Guo Jia looked at the battlefield and hesitated.
His worries are not unreasonable. You must know that both sides of the war always use all possible means. Even if the "reinforcements" and the coalition soldiers are fighting fiercely at the moment, if they can make use of this loss, they can make a profit.
It is absolutely cost-effective to open the gate of Ruyin City.
"Let's see." Qin Yang did not make a judgment immediately, but carefully observed the movements of the coalition forces and asked lightly: "Who is the enemy general in Nancheng?"
"Reporting to your highness, the enemy general here is Cao Cao's military advisor Sima Yi."
"Sima Yi..." Qin Yang nodded slightly. Ruyin City is now surrounded on all sides. Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei each led their troops to block one side. And because Cao Cao has the most troops among the three princes, the direction of the south city is also blocked by
Cao Cao took care of both.
Moreover, according to Zhuge Liang's strategy of "encircling three armies and one", there were only less than 100,000 defenders left in the south of the city under Sima Yi's command. This clearly meant that Qin Yang had no choice but to break out from the south, and then the entire army
A strategy of pursuit and annihilation. Now this "reinforcement" obviously saw the weakness of the southern encirclement and intended to break through from this direction.
"Is this reinforcement... too few?" After observing for a moment, Guo Jia frowned and said. At this moment, not only him, but all experienced generals have basically seen that the force that broke into the camp in the south of the city was
The "reinforcements" turned out to be only a few thousand people! Using thousands of people to break into a military camp of 100,000 people is like a moth flying into a flame and an egg hitting a stone!
And things developed just as everyone expected. After the initial panic, Cao's army under the city began to form an effective defensive formation and began to counterattack. Gradually, groups of troops formed an orderly formation in the military camp.
After unfolding, the "reinforcement" force of several thousand people could not move forward any further after advancing to nearly the center of the army. It was about to fall into the encirclement of Cao's army.
However, this army seemed to show extremely tenacious fighting power when facing an enemy that was nearly twenty times more powerful. Qin Yang and others on the top of the city could clearly see that these thousands of people were firmly occupying the city.
A camp of Cao Jun actually repelled three attacks by Cao Jun in succession! Although Cao Jun stationed in the south of the city was not an elite force under Cao Cao, and there were few powerful fighting generals, the combat effectiveness and willpower of these Yellow Turban troops were absolute.
Shocking.
"Eh? That's it! Could it be..." Suddenly Qin Yang, who was watching the battle intently on the top of the city, his eyes narrowed and he lost his voice.
Because he was surprised to see a green light suddenly light up at a defense line that had just been broken through by Cao Jun! Cao Jun, who was roaring in, saw that this place was broken through, and they rushed towards it with a roar, trying to make a move.
Invade the camp and completely destroy the enemy.
But something strange happened. This emerald green light was like an extremely solid wall. All the Cao Jun soldiers who rushed over hit it hard and were immediately bounced back hard. Cao Jun
The camp immediately let out bursts of exclamations, and the sound of bows and arrows suddenly sounded, and bursts of bows and arrows shot at the green wall like raindrops. However, these bows and arrows only left little halo ripples on the wall, but could not penetrate at all.
Finally, it was not until the Yellow Turban Army arrived that they rebuilt the defense line and filled the gap. This green wall gradually disappeared.
It took less than five minutes in total, but Qin Yang on the top of the city could no longer suppress the trembling in his heart!
"Guan Hai, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao! Quickly order all the silver-armored cavalry to follow me out of the city for rescue!"
"Your Highness, you..." Guo Jia's heart moved and he looked at Qin Yang in surprise. You must know that it is extremely dangerous outside the city at this moment. What is the reason why Qin Yang is willing to take the risk and lead the elite of the Yellow Turban Army out of the city to rescue?
These thousands of "reinforcements"?
However, Guo Jia soon knew the answer. Just when Qin Yang turned around and left, he heard Qin Yang's growling voice, "Da Qiao. Xiao Qiao, why are you so stupid?!..."
Qin Yang guessed it right, the Erqiao sisters were among the reinforcements coming in from outside. And the green light that blocked Cao Jun's attack was exactly what Qin Yang taught the two girls when they were besieged in Lushan.
Defensive combined attack martial arts! However, what Qin Yang didn't know was that among these reinforcements, in addition to Er Qiao, there were also Zhang Baiqi, Ma Yuanyi, Zhang Lu, Cai Yan, Zhen Mi and others he had left in Hanzhong.
Close relatives...
"Rumble!" The south gate of Ruyin City burst open. The moment the city gate opened, the ground in the south of the city began to tremble slightly! Silver armor. Silver spears! In the middle of the night, ten thousand silver-armored knights roared out of the city.
The gate was like mercury pouring down the ground, instantly crossing the long-dried moat and rushing towards Cao Jun's south camp!
"Kill!" Four war horses rushed at the front of the silver-armored cavalry, holding blazing swords in their hands. Qin Yang's eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were about to burst! What does it mean for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to lead thousands of people to attack the camp in the south of the city? No
People know better than Qin Yang. Even though he had been mentally prepared, Qin Yang was unwilling to accept this reality from the bottom of his heart! Hanzhong was lost!
"Report to the military advisor, the Yellow Turban Army has rushed out of Ruyin City! Judging from the military uniforms, it should be the elite cavalry Silver Armor Army! There are more than 10,000 cavalry!"
"Silver Armor Army?! Does Qin Yang want to break out of the encirclement?" On the war horse, Sima Yi, who was directing the battle, raised his eyebrows and coldly ordered: "Quickly send the news here to the other three camps! In addition,
Order our army to open a gap and let the silver-armored troops come in!"
After the order was issued, Sima Yi couldn't help but flash a cold light in his eyes. Could it be that Qin Yang couldn't wait anymore? I didn't expect that Sima Yi finally misjudged the wrong person...
"Your Highness! The enemy troops are spreading to both sides. It seems they want to lure us into a siege..." Zhao Yun frowned and reminded Qin Yang.
"Surround?! It just saved me the energy to rush in. Send an order to the whole army and charge at full speed straight to where our army is trapped!" Qin Yang smiled coldly and galloped away without hesitation.
"Your Highness, this is..." Guan Hai never thought too much, he just obeyed Qin Yang's orders and went on a rampage, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he would not hesitate at all. But Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are both thoughtful people. Seeing Qin Yang like this,
The two couldn't help but look at each other, but the military order was like a mountain. Even if they died, they would follow Qin Yang!
"General! The reinforcements from the city are coming to meet us! It's Prince Ming! It's the banner of His Highness Prince Ming! His Highness Prince Ming and the Silver Armor Army are here to rescue us!" The messenger was incoherent, and he almost screamed out the information.
"King Ming?!" On the war horse, Zhang Baiqi, who was wearing a white robe that had already been stained red with blood, seemed to be trembling and looked up into the distance. In his sight, the flag of the Yellow Turban King Ming was fluttering in the wind, following the silver-armored army.
The knight is approaching rapidly!
"Great, brothers, His Highness Prince Ming is still alive! He has come to save us personally! Long live the Yellow Turban! Long live Prince Ming!" Zhang Baiqi excitedly waved the spear in his hand, laughing and roaring like a new recruit who had just entered the battlefield.
"Long live the Yellow Turbans! Long live King Ming!" In an instant, the thousands of surrounded Yellow Turbans suddenly became energetic. The deafening cheers resounded through the night sky.
"Sister, Brother Qin is here to save us!" On one side of the camp, Da Qiao's beautiful eyes, covered in blood, turned to the north.
"Hmph! Even this perverted thief still has some conscience! Sister, you don't have to worry about his death now, right?!" Xiao Qiao pouted, but her eyes couldn't help but look to the north, with a hint of joy.
"Sister, don't talk nonsense..."
On the other side of the camp, a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old jumped for joy and said to the white-haired woman next to her who had already been stained with tears: "Sister Cai Yan, you should be happy that that guy is here! Don't be sad.
Already..."
The white-haired woman slowly raised her head, revealing her beautiful face under the firelight. She nodded fiercely, and Cai Yan's voice was choked with sobs: "Well, I will be satisfied if I can see him before I die.
Already."
As fast as the wind and as swift as thunder! Without encountering almost any effective resistance, Qin Yang led the 10,000 silver-armored troops to quickly break through the encirclement of Cao Jun with a devastating force, leaping on horseback and charging into the Yellow Turban Army's occupation.
In the camp!
"Your Highness! The criminal Zhang Baiqi comes to see His Highness..." When Zhang Baiqi saw Qin Yang entering the camp, he immediately rode forward and bowed to Qin Yang on the horse, his voice seemed to be trembling.
"Okay, Bai Qi, I don't blame you for what happened in Hanzhong. It was my fault. If it hadn't been for the gold medal I gave to that person, you wouldn't have lost Hanzhong so quickly." Qin Yang waved his hand and said calmly.
At this moment, he had already ordered Guan Hai, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to each lead an army to take over and garrison on all sides, ready to break out and fight back at any time.
"Your Highness...you, you know everything?!" Zhang Baiqi looked at Qin Yang in shock.
Qin Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Originally, he still had the last glimmer of hope, but when he heard the word "criminal general" from Zhang Baiqi's mouth, he understood everything. Things were already heading towards the end he expected.
Something bad has developed.
"Your Highness, the guilty minister Ma Yuanyi (Zhang Lu) is here to see Your Highness..." At this moment, after receiving the news of Qin Yang's arrival, Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Lu quickly rode their horses to plead guilty to Qin Yang.
"There's no need to be polite! This is not the place to talk. You must gather your troops quickly and follow me back to Ruyin!" Qin Yang gave the order directly without saying much.
"Qin...brother..." Just after Zhang Baiqi and others took the order and went down to prepare, a soft call made Qin Yang's nerves tense instantly.
"Yan'er, Da Qiao... Xiao Qiao..." Qin Yang turned around suddenly, but he happened to see four flower-like beauties standing there supporting each other behind him. Sister Er Qiao's face was pale, and it was obvious that she was
After using the combined attack martial arts, the fighting spirit was consumed a lot. As for Cai Yan, whose white hair was flying, he was seriously injured and now he is already haggard from running around for days. Naturally, the four girls have become familiar with each other after days of marching, and the stories between them and Qin Yang are mutual.
There is also some understanding between them.
"Huh! Just looking at the beautiful woman, I know you are a shameless guy!" Seeing that Qin Yang did not call her name, Zhen Mi, who was supporting Cai Yan at the side, pouted and snorted angrily.
Qin Yang looked at Zhen Mi who was pouting and pretending to be angry. He couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Little girl, what are you doing here? This is not a fun place..."
"Oops! You've already been told off by Commander Ma and Brother Zhang, okay?! I'm not anyone like you, and you can't control me no matter what I think of! Besides, if I don't come, who will take care of Sister Cai Yan?
!" Zhen Mi pouted her little mouth even higher, as if she wanted to fight Qin Yang to the death.
"Forget it..." Qin Yang sighed secretly in his heart. Now is not the time to talk about this, not to mention what Zhen Mi said is not unreasonable. But for Zhen Mi, an outsider, Qin Yang still feels a little guilty in his heart. After all,
The other three women were bound to live and die with him for life. But Zhen Mi was just trying to help him...
"Your Highness, the enemy's encirclement has closed again!" At this moment, Zhao Yun had returned to Qin Yang. Behind him, in addition to thousands of Silver Armor soldiers, there were more than a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers.
At this moment, Qin Yang no longer expects to send any more reinforcements in Ruyin City. Because he knows the current situation in the city better than anyone else. The food and grass in the city have already entered a stage of strict control, and the remaining troops are not enough to defend the city. If he sends more reinforcements,
If people come out to help, I am afraid that Ruyin City will be lost before they can fight back!
"Pass my military order! Zilong, you and General Zhang Baiqi will serve as the vanguard. I, Guan Hai, Zhang Lu and others will support you in the center. Ma Chao and Ma Yuanyi will lead the army at the rear. Let's fight back to Ruyin!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yun accepted the order without hesitation and mobilized his troops to prepare for an assault. Qin Yang quickly found three war horses for Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen Mi and Cai Yan to ride on respectively.
At the same time, Sima Yi apparently also received the news that Qin Yang personally led the breakout. He was even more shocked and hastily mobilized tens of thousands of horses to completely block the road from the camp to Ruyin City. Of course he knew,
If Qin Yang can be successfully killed or captured alive in this battle, then this battle will have been completely won!
In an instant, the battle broke out again in the camp of Cao Jun. Zhao Yun and Zhang Baiqi led the silver-armored troops to gallop forward, charging towards Ruyin City. Cao Jun in the south of the city also preferred death to retreat under Sima Yi's strict order, vowing to
Stop Qin Yang before reinforcements from the other three locations arrive!
After receiving the news, the reinforcements from the other three directions also launched a fierce attack on Ruyin City while sending reinforcements to the south of the city! The peace of more than half a month was finally completely broken on this night, and fighting began.
The sound, the roar, shook the heaven and the earth. The light of fire, blood, and swords covered the sky!
The camp in the south of the city, ten thousand versus one hundred thousand! Even brave men like Zhao Yun, Guan Hai and others were unable to advance quickly in front of an enemy ten times their size. On the main roads on both sides of Ruyin City, dots of fire had appeared.
Any soldier of the Yellow Turban Army knows that it is a sign of the arrival of more enemies!
"It will be troublesome if we continue like this!" Qin Yang's eyes were cold and his thoughts were racing. The scene in front of him was obviously extremely detrimental to his own side!
"Guan Hai! I order you to protect them to the death!" Suddenly Qin Yang gritted his teeth and said to Guan Hai beside him.
"Yes! Don't worry, Your Highness!" Guan Hai didn't realize what Qin Yang meant. Just when he received the order, he found that Qin Yang had already galloped forward towards the front army where the fighting was fiercest.
"Your Highness, why are you here?!" After a burst of fighting, Zhao Yun's blood-stained robe turned around and looked at Qin Yang in surprise. Now in front of them, there were 30,000 Cao soldiers forming an almost insurmountable defense line.
.At this moment, the number of troops under Zhao Yun and Zhang Baiqi has dropped sharply from about five thousand to less than two thousand.
"I'm here to meet an old friend..." Qin Yang patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder. As he spoke, his horse had already passed Zhao Yun and arrived not far from Cao Jun's defense line.
"Listen, people on the other side! I am Qin Yang, and I would like to ask your military advisor Sima Yi to come out and meet me!" Qin Yang put away his sword and immediately looked at the densely packed Cao army in front of him. His voice spread far away in an instant.
