Chapter 29: War Chief Shebocai is defeated
"It's very possible that reinforcements from Luoyang have arrived, and they actually thought of using wind to help the fire. It seems that Your Majesty has sent us a capable person."
"Haha, you and I can't stay behind. They are setting fire to the north, so we will go to the south to set fire. I have ordered all the troops and horses to defeat the thieves tonight!" Huangfu Song smiled heartily, waved his robe and turned around.
"Report——"
"General Huangfu, General Zhu, a fire was discovered east of the bandit camp!"
"Okay! As expected, someone set the fire on fire. I will avenge my shame tonight and kill the thief!"
Huangfu Song took advantage of the situation and said: "General Zhu, I will lead the army to attack the south, and you will lead the army to attack the east. The north has become a sea of fire. Bocai will definitely flee to the west. I conclude that the reinforcements must be waiting to intercept and kill in the west."
"Just like General Huangfu, it's just a pity that I can't get Bocai's head." Zhu Jun sighed.
"You and I have already committed a sin by being trapped here. It would be a great blessing if we can redeem ourselves through this battle. The credit should be given to the reinforcements who came from afar!" Huangfu Song advised.
"Qu Shuai! Beiying can't be saved!"
"Qu Shuai! The fire in Dongying has spread!"
"Commander Qu! The south gate of Changshe is wide open, and Huangfu Song is heading towards the south camp!"
Bocai stood in the west camp, looking at the vast sea of fire. He watched the fire destroy his camp. It was too late to do anything now.
"Withdraw!" He said the order through gritted teeth.
All the troops in the Western Camp were withdrawn, and their organization was relatively intact. However, those who escaped from the fire in the Northern Camp were in a state of panic and retreated with the crowd.
The Nanying and Dongying were already fighting with Huangfu Zhu Jun's army. Even if they received the order to retreat, they could not escape the pursuit of Wang Shi.
Without Bo Cai's immediate command, the battle did not last long before the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and the South Camp and East Camp became a one-sided massacre.
Bocai rode his big horse and fled westward, followed by more than a thousand horsemen, and the remaining tens of thousands of people were all infantry, and the team stretched for several miles.
"Commander Qu, all our army's food, grass and baggage were destroyed. Many soldiers in the northern camp escaped without taking their weapons," said General Bocai.
"Hey! The thieves are so cunning that they actually set fire to the camp. Send the order and retreat to Yangzhai. I have an internal response in the city and it will be easy to take it!" Bocai pointed to the west and ordered.
The large group of troops headed west. Before they had gone very far, Bocai saw a group of soldiers and horses running towards them from the opposite side. He stopped immediately and called to his left and right:
"The opponent must be the enemy's reinforcements. The number must not be large. Prepare to fight!"
At the same time, Cao Cao led his troops eastward and saw a fire dragon approaching from the west to the east. At the end of his field of vision, there was a red light rising into the sky, and he immediately shouted.
"There must be a fire in the bandits' camp. The Yellow Turbans are running for their lives here. Our army just happened to intercept them!" Cao Cao drew his sword and shouted: "Kill the thieves and achieve merit!"
The two men and horses immediately swarmed forward and strangled each other.
Bocai took the lead, rushed into the battle formation, scraped two officers and soldiers with his knife, pointed at Cao Cao with his bloody long knife, and said: "Follow me and kill the officer and general first!"
Hundreds of cavalry followed Bo Cai's actions and headed straight for Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao's general saw the thieves coming to kill him, he immediately said: "General, retreat quickly, we will stop them!"
Cao Cao had no choice but to flee to the flank to avoid the sharp attack. Bo Cai and the general fought fiercely for several rounds without deciding the outcome. When he saw that the general had escaped, he gave up the pursuit.
"Follow me and kill the enemy!"
The Yellow Turban cavalry turned around and headed towards the infantry in the rear of Cao's army, but Cao's generals did not pursue them and instead intercepted and killed the infantry in the rear.
If there is no crushing strength, everyone will make this choice and pick the weak persimmons. Especially if the officers and soldiers want to behead people in exchange for merit, they will naturally not be stupid enough to chase the cavalry.
Bocai's thousand cavalrymen lost two to three hundred and killed Cao Cao's infantry. Cao Cao only had four thousand reinforcements, and the Yellow Turbans still had at least two to thirty thousand fighting men. Although they were ordered to retreat, they encountered If you see an enemy, you will still attack them.
Just when Bocai was about to charge another wave, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun from behind came up with their troops to kill them again, and immediately retreated with gritted teeth.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and went forward to kill several Yellow Turbans. Four thousand men and horses were directly dispersed by the Yellow Turbans' retreating troops. Although they must have gained a lot, their own side would suffer all casualties unintentionally.
Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Cao Cao met together and chased the Yellow Turbans from Changshe for more than ten miles, killing tens of thousands of enemies. The fire burned down Bocai's camp, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans dispersed. Bocai only brought less than three soldiers with him. Thousands of people were fleeing towards Yangzhai along the official road under the starry night.
The bloody morning sun rises, and the east is covered with morning glow.
Yang Biao was woken up early by the steward and was told that a large number of Yellow Turbans were marching towards Yangzhai. He was so frightened that he lost all sleep. When he arrived at the head of the east city with his son, he saw that Liu Qing, dressed in military uniform, had already arrived. Not only that, Xun Chen, Guo Zhong and others Talkers from famous families also came to the city in person.
He was just a guest governor, and for these families, Yangzhai was the foundation. Yang Biao agreed one by one, and finally walked to Liu Qing's side, looked at the city, and was surprised!
The place where Liu Qing originally stationed his troops is now empty!
"General, where are your cavalry?"
"The battle hasn't even started yet, how can you detonate your troops and hide them?" Liu Qing said with a smile.
Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved at the same time: He is indeed a leader of troops, much more professional than him, a civil servant.
"Now there are only more than a thousand defenders in Yangzhai, and all four gates need to be guarded. Most of them have been transferred to the east of the city, but there are less than a thousand people. How can we stop the Yellow Turbans?" Yang Biao said.
"The Yellow Turbans have been traveling all night, so they must be tired, so just kill them and retreat!" Liu Qing said casually.
Yang Biao was speechless for a while. Not only him, but all the noble families were also surprised when they heard this.
They had only heard that an army had entered Yangzhai to support them, and the general was young and frivolous. Now when they saw it, it really came true, and they suddenly felt that their chances of winning were even less.
Seeing the Yellow Turbans approaching step by step, the people on the city wall could clearly see the enemy flag.
Bocai!
It turned out to be Bo Cai who was going to conquer it himself. Everyone thought, it’s over!
But Xun Yu and Guo Jia, who were standing in the crowd of noble families, were shocked when they saw this flag. They looked at each other across the crowd and guessed a possibility - Bo was defeated and came here. !
Press card one and they win!
"It's Bo Cai. His army besieged Changshe and he didn't attack Sili. Why did he bring his troops here?" Xun Jian said. He is now the spokesperson of the Xun family, the leader of the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, and the former Langling County of Runan County. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, he returned to Yangdi, Yingchuan.
"Uncle, Bo Cai must have defeated Changshe and retreated here." Xun Yu said.
"Wen Ruoxiu is talking nonsense. Bo only has an army of tens of thousands, how can he be defeated?" stain.
Xun Yu had no choice but to remain silent, but another thought in his mind gradually became firmer.
Someone from the Zhong family said: "We and other large clans also have many brave guards, so we should come together to occupy the Yellow Turbans."
The other tribesmen agreed one after another.
