Chapter 126: A Sudden Fire
The yellow scarf called for battle, and Huangfu Song could only send people to fight.
If you don't fight, it's a blow to morale.
After a few rounds of fighting, the two sides won and lost each other.
"Huangfu Lao'er, dare to come out and fight with our army." The heads-up did not take advantage, and the Yellow Turban began to ask for a group fight.
Huangfu Song directly ordered to hold the camp tightly and not engage in battle with the Yellow Turban.
The Yellow Turban saw that the officers and soldiers did not fight, so they scolded outside.
"No, time is running out, since they don't fight, they can only force their attack." Zhang Bao secretly calculated in his heart.
Although they had obtained some of the drugs after trading with Zhang Yu, the medicines were still not very sufficient, so Zhang Bao didn't want to waste them.
Zhang Bao gave the order to attack, and Zhang Liang also attacked in the other direction at the same time.
There were a total of 20,000 yellow turbans guarding against Zhang Yu, and Ma Yuanyi directly sent 10,000 people to attack Zhang Yu's camp.
However, the attack was not very strong, mainly to drag Zhang Yu and prevent him from suddenly entering the battlefield.
The several times the soldiers of the Yellow Turban did not "watch" Zhang Yu and let him break into the battlefield.
Zhang Yu had no choice but to order the soldiers to defend well.
A big war began to break out between the two sides.
Huangfu Song defended the camp very strictly, and the yellow turban did not take much advantage.
In the end, he relied on those yellow scarves who had drunk medicine to enter the camp, but Huangfu Song sent a support team in time to block the yellow scarves back
After half a day of fighting, the yellow scarves retreated.
The Yellow Turbans lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and the official army also lost more than 3,000 horses.
It's hard to say who wins and who loses.
"Big brother, if you have high hopes, please punish the eldest brother."
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang saw Zhang Jiao and said after they returned to the city.
Zhang Jiao helped the two up. Then he coughed twice and said: "What is expected, that Huangfu Song is too shrewd to fight easily. However, in today's battle situation, I have found their flaws, and if I operate them well, I can deal a heavy blow to them. ”
"Ahem, ahem..."
After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he coughed violently again.
"Big brother, how is it, it wasn't good before, why did it suddenly deteriorate again." Zhang Bao asked Zhang Liang worriedly.
Zhang Jiao took a few deep breaths, relieved his discomfort and said, "It's okay, with the medicinal materials sent by Zhang Yu, I paid for the medicine myself, and I can support it for a while." Before I can't do it, I will definitely help you break the official army in front of you. ”
Zhang Jiao rested for a while and then said, "Tonight, the three of you will each lead elite soldiers out of the city to attack at night, and you will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on them." ”
Night Raid?
The eyes of the three of them lit up, and the night attack was indeed a solution.
Moreover, Zhang Jiao also found out the flaws in their camp.
After more than ten days of fierce battles, the officers and soldiers were accustomed to the rhythm of fighting during the day and resting at night, and the yellow turbans never attacked at night, so they also relaxed.
Although Huangfu Song attached great importance to the defense at night, he often sent people to inspect the camp.
But with an army of nearly 100,000 and so many battalions, he couldn't master them all.
However, there is still a defense that the officers and soldiers should have, and there are also troops patrolling back and forth at night.
At night, the gates of Gwangjong were quietly opened.
A long line came out of the city.
Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, and Ma Yuanyi each rushed towards their target with soldiers and horses.
"Not good, there are enemies."
"Yellow Turban Night Attack."
"Go and tell the general."
Although the officers and soldiers did not attach great importance to it, they also discovered the yellow scarves in time, and when the yellow scarves entered about a mile, they were discovered by the officers and soldiers.
"Kill."
Now that it was discovered, the three-way yellow turban began to rush and kill.
Zhang Yu and a third of their men were on duty, and they were ready when they found the yellow scarf.
Zhang Yu's speed is also very fast, Ling Cao happened to be on duty tonight, and Ling Cao quickly made a defense.
"How's it going?" Zhang Yu asked when he arrived at the gate of the camp.
When they arrived at the gate of the camp, Ling Cao, Zhou Cang and Dian Wei were watching the play, but the Yellow Turban did not attack them, and they did not even send troops to guard them.
"Rocket salvo." Zhang Yu heard a loud roar not far away.
After yelling, Zhang Yu saw the arrows shooting out of the sky, and these arrows were ignited.
Arrows of fire rose into the sky and fell.
"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire."
Rockets fell, and many large battalions caught fire.
"Lord, shall we go up and help?" Dian Wei asked.
Zhang Yu also saw that the military camp next to them was the place where the Yellow Turban was attacking, and thousands of rockets were attacking, and it was already a fire.
"Get the soldiers ready, and we'll kill them when it's clear." Zhang Yu said.
Several barracks were in chaos, with a total of two large camps on fire, and the Yellow Turbans mainly attacking two places.
Huangfu Song also came out early to command.
In the dark, I can only see a lot of yellow scarves, but I don't know the specific situation.
"General, do you want to send troops to support those two military camps, once they can't control the fire and are broken by the Yellow Turbans, the losses will be great." The adjutant general said to Huangfu Song.
Huang Fu Song looked outside, and it was dark in the distance, which made Huang Fu Song always feel uneasy.
"Look at it again, let them hold on first."
Huangfu Song did not order support, because in the darkness he always felt that a fierce beast was watching him.
On Zhang Yu's side, the fire in the military camp next to him gradually increased.
The Yellow Turbans continued to attack with rockets, and although the officers and soldiers kept putting out the fire, the fire soon rose again.
"Kill."
After a few more rounds of rockets, the military camp of the official army gradually lost control of the fire, and at this time, the Yellow Turbans were massively killed.
When the Yellow Turban was killed, the officers and soldiers inside could only temporarily give up extinguishing the fire and deal with the Yellow Turban first.
Huangfu Song in the distance also saw this scene, and the yellow scarf killed it.
"Let General Xu's battalion send troops out to support, and you can't let the Yellow Turban break through the battalion." In the end, Huangfu Song saw that the attacked camp was in danger, so he still sent reinforcements.
Reinforcements came out to support the attacked Han military camp.
"Come, besiege them for me."
Not long after the Han reinforcements came out, a yellow scarf rushed out of the darkness and killed it.
"It's not good, I'm fooled, there is an ambush in the Yellow Turban."
Huangfu Song was taken aback, what he was worried about finally happened, the yellow scarf used Yangmou, if you don't send troops to support them, you will break through a large battalion, if you send troops to support, I will surround and send reinforcements.
"Order them to pull back." Huangfu Song shouted anxiously.
Although the order was given in time, the yellow scarf, which had been waiting for a long time in the dark, naturally did not let go and wrapped it tightly.
In fact, the faint shadow of the yellow turban can still be seen in the distance, but its number is uncertain.
"Lord, there is an ambush in the Yellow Turban." Ling Cao said.
"If there is an ambush, we will be saved, and we can at least save the Han army all the way with the shield array." Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said.
"No, my lord, there is a fire in our camp." Suddenly, someone shouted.
Zhang Yu and the others saw that there was indeed a fire in their camp, and the fire was very large, and it suddenly reached the point of being out of control.
"That's where we store grain and grass, in the rear, how can there be a fire." Zhang Yu shouted.
Obviously, there was no one to answer Zhang Yu's question, because the others didn't know either.
"Kill."
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhang Yu was suddenly shocked, and at this time, the yellow turban actually killed him in a big way.
"Not good, get ready." Zhang Yu shouted, and he couldn't care why the camp suddenly caught fire.
"Swift shield men block the enemy, archers come forward to support." Zhang Yu gave an order.
The soldiers moved very quickly, because they had already been prepared by a part of the men before.
"Five hundred men go and put out the fire." Zhang Yu saw that the soldiers had already begun to form a formation, and ordered some of the soldiers to extinguish the fire.
