Chapter 72: Sneak Attack in a Different Direction
The soldiers, dressed in yellow scarves, began to move around the villages and towns around Runan, as well as in the county seat.
From a distance, these yellow scarves can't find anything at all, and when they get closer, it's too late.
It's easy to tell when you get closer, after all, the Yellow Turban doesn't have such momentum, and it doesn't have such a complete set of weapons.
Zhang Yu led hundreds of people to sweep several villages and towns in a row, and there were not many yellow scarves in any villages and towns, but only a few hundred people.
Although many villages and towns were swept away, not many were captured.
The most seized weapons were broken weapons, and property and other things were concentrated in Runan.
After three days of sweeping, Zhang Yu led people to sweep some villages and towns on the periphery of Runan City, and two of them attacked the county seat with a combined army.
In the past three days, Zhang Yu and the others have eliminated more than 10,000 yellow scarves in total, and let him earn a lot of points.
Zhou Cang also performed well, fighting bravely, perhaps knowing that Zhang Yu didn't trust him, so he fought hard and worked hard to kill the enemy.
"Three days, it must have attracted the attention of the yellow turbans in Runan City, but they don't know how many enemies there are, we must take the opportunity to slip away." Zhang Yu said after converging with Ling Cao.
"Yes, lord, we have swept dozens of villages and towns in three days, although there are not many yellow turbans killed, but the yellow turbans must have been alert, it is better to go first." Ling Cao said.
Zhang Yu nodded, and retreated more than ten miles with the army.
After the retreat was completed, Zhang Yu took out the map again to study.
The Yellow Turbans in Runan City have indeed received the news, so many Yellow Turbans have been quietly killed, how can the Yellow Turban leaders in the city not know.
At this time, it was Liu Pi who was guarding the city and was responsible for He Yi's logistics and supply, and he had already sent someone to investigate, but there was no accurate news.
Runan is too important to the yellow scarves in front, so Liu Bi has never dared to attack easily, afraid that this is a conspiracy of the official army.
"My lord, what are you studying?" Ling Cao saw that Zhang Yu had been looking at the map, so he leaned over and asked.
"We attacked Zhoucang's transport team, according to their destination, we should also go back to recover in the past two days, if we don't go back, plus we have swept so many villages and towns in the past three days, the Yellow Turban must know that there is a small army hidden next to them, so I guess what Liu Bi, the defender of Runan, will think?"
Ling Cao also leaned over to look at the map, although the map was simple, everything around it could be seen clearly.
"Lord, are you trying to ambush them?" Ling Cao said.
Zhang Yu shook his head, didn't say anything, waited for a while and said: "We make such a big move, it is impossible for the Yellow Turban to ignore it, but if they send a large army or elite soldiers, with our little force, even if they ambush themselves, the loss will be very large, so it depends on the specific situation." ”
Zhang Yu really wants to fight, all he fights is points, all money and food, but no matter what happens, he must save his strength.
Zhang Yu first hid the army, and then waited for the opportunity.
The next day, Zhang Yu received the news of Runan's troops.
Runan City sent 30,000 troops out of the city and killed Zhang Yu in their direction.
"My lord, the other side has an army of 30,000, and it seems that they are going to swallow us in one bite." Ling Cao said with a smile.
"The Yellow Turbans will never tolerate us making trouble behind them, and it is estimated that they have roughly judged our strength, so they sent a large army out." Zhang Yu said.
Ling Cao looked into the distance, his eyes showed a strong battle intent, but at this time, he didn't want to fight.
Ling Cao looked at Zhang Yu and found that Zhang Yu was still observing the map, it should be Zhang Yu's decision.
Sure enough, soon Zhang Yu raised his head and pointed to the map and said, "Since the Yellow Turban looks up to us so much, then let's play with them." ”
Zhang Yu stood up, and then said, "Set off immediately, and lead the enemy army to the south first." ”
Zhang Yu and the others came out of their hiding place and moved south, and the scouts of the Yellow Turban soon discovered them and chased them south.
Zhang Yu and the others quickly moved south, and on the way Zhang Yu said: "If we are cavalry, we will definitely kill them." ”
Zhang Yu wanted a cavalry very much at this time, if it was a cavalry, he could completely hang the yellow scarf in the back.
"Lord, what should we do next?" Ling Cao asked.
Zhang Yu said as he ran: "Lead them to a distant place first, and then we will get rid of them." ”
Zhang Yu and the others ran wildly for a long time, attracting the yellow scarf all the way to the south.
After walking for dozens of miles, Zhang Yu felt that it was almost over, and when it was night, Zhang Yu did not let the soldiers rest, but turned to the west and quickly broke away from the yellow scarf.
The yellow scarf chased after them all day, but they couldn't catch up with Zhang Yu and them.
At night, the yellow turbans really couldn't catch up, so they could only stop and rest, while Zhang Yu and they ate and drank well, and after long-distance running training day and night, they could still continue to march.
In the second half of the night, Zhang Yu let the soldiers rest.
Immediately afterwards, early the next morning, Zhang Yu set off again with the army.
And the yellow scarves that came after them had lost their traces of Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu led the people all the way to the west, then to the north, and two days later, returned to the area around Runan, only this time to the west of Runan.
After resting for one night, Zhang Yu gathered his troops again the next day.
"Lord, where are we going to fight this time?" Ling Cao said excitedly.
Zhang Yu looked at the map and said: "This county is only more than ten miles away from Runan, so we will concentrate our forces to fight other county seats." ”
Zhang Yu knew that at this time, the yellow scarves in the city already knew their existence, and they couldn't sweep the periphery for three days in a row like before, and they had to leave after this fight.
Since you can only fight once, you can choose a big target, so Zhang Yu decisively chose to fight in the county seat instead of fighting in villages and towns.
The value of hitting villages and towns is not high
Zhang Yu took the people and horses, changed into yellow scarf clothes, and then swaggered down the road and walked towards the county seat.
At this time, although the county town was on guard, because this was a large rear area, there had been no enemy, so the defense was quite sparse.
Zhang Yu led people from the west, and the yellow scarf on the city did not suspect it.
When they got close to 100 meters, some yellow scarves began to wonder, but they couldn't confirm it.
Fifty meters into the city, the yellow turban on the head of the city noticed that something was wrong.
"Kill."
But it was too late, Zhang Yu roared and took the lead in rushing forward.
The distance of fifty meters was soon there, and Zhang Yu slashed the yellow scarf guarding the city gate in three or two, and then killed into the city.
The fierce battle broke out immediately, and Zhang Yu and Ling Cao were two monsters, crushing them all the way.
At this moment, the yellow turban had not fully reacted, Zhang Yu and the others had already killed in the center of the city, and then Zhang Yu asked Ling Cao to lead the troops to attack in separate ways.
assault
Assault again
Rush all the way to kill, all the way to blood.
The untouchable yellow scarves were killed in scattered places.
After about an hour, the battle ended.
This county town has become a city of blood, with stumps and broken arms everywhere, and blood foam everywhere.
