Chapter 46: The Battle of Cangting

Wei Yanzuo was taken aback, and hurriedly led the army to retreat, but he had never had experience in leading troops, and he couldn't take care of the front and back in the chaos, and soon changed from defeat to real defeat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wei Yan saw that the soldiers in the rear team were chased and hacked to death by the Yellow Turban Army one by one, and his eyes were red in a hurry, and he personally picked up his spear and rushed left and right, and the last one withdrew from the camp.

As soon as Wei Yan rushed out of the camp gate, he heard a shout "dodge" in front of him, he hurriedly turned his horse to the side, and just made way of the road, countless feathered arrows shot out of the darkness, instantly shooting down a large number of yellow turbans that were chasing Wei Yan out.

Wei Yan also said that reinforcements had come, and after a closer look, the archery was still shot by the three or four hundred cavalry brought out by himself, and the leader was Du Bo Dingcheng. Wei Yan was overjoyed and asked, Ding Cheng said: "These are all compulsory exercises for daily exercises, and this time, Lord Zhonglang knows that you are inexperienced, and he specially told me again." ”

Wei Yan smiled: "Wonderful, I'll go back and lead that radish a few more times, and you still shoot him." Ding Cheng responded with a smile.

In this way, whenever Bu Si was about to retreat, Wei Yan rushed back and teased him, stabbed to death a few thieves who ran first, and then fled; And when Bu Si chased closer, there was a rain of arrows flying out of the darkness like locusts, forcing the men and horses to keep retreating. After three times, Bu Si finally became annoyed: "Guts dog thief, let you escape to the ends of the earth, I will also catch up with you and break your body into thousands of pieces." ”

As the sky grew brighter, the wind on the river grew stronger, almost blowing off Tyumen's turban. Tyumen found a cloth belt to tie his turban, and it looked like a bandage on his head, and the soldiers he saw couldn't help but laugh.

Qiu Ming didn't care about this, Wei Yan had been gone all night, and there was still no news, which made him raise his heart to his throat. If Wei Yan misses and is captured, then he will not be able to play the whole game of chess. Thinking of this, Qiu Ming couldn't help but feel deeply remorseful, he had already chosen Zhang Liao, who was full of experience, why did he have to pick Wei Yan, the first brother?

was suffering from gains and losses, and the front probe Ma came to report that Wei Yan's front soldiers had arrived in front of the camp, and Qiu Ming relaxed his knot a little. At this moment he saw soldiers under the embankment fiddling with some strange wooden machinery, as if to assemble them and move them to the position of the camp gate. Tyumen was very curious, and rushed over and asked, "What are you guys doing here?" ”

Huangfu Song also got the news, and was walking out of the Chinese army, and said with a smile: "This is a ballista, I don't think you may know how to use it, so I didn't tell you." ”

It wasn't until all ten ballistae were installed at the camp gate that Tyumen's outstretched tongue could be successfully retracted from his mouth. Wow, ballista wow, a human meat harvester in the era of cold weapons, shot Xiao Dalazy of the Liao State with a crossbow under the city of Danzhou, and laid the artifact of peace and stability in the Northern Song Dynasty for one or two hundred years. Doesn't it mean that the ballista of this era can only be placed at the head of the city as a decoration, and Huangfu Song can even take the ballista with him when he marches and fights, and he is not a famous general in the world?

Huangfu Song saw the envy in Qiu Ming's eyes, and said with a smile: "Since you have become my disciple, I will pass on the blueprints of this ballista to you sooner or later, now let's fight the battle in front of me first." ”

Qiu Ming straightened his mind and asked the flag officer to play the flag and inform Wei Yan's troops to disperse to the left and right. Wei Yan was still stunned and rushed straight into the camp, and immediately fled to the side under Ding Cheng's reminder, and soon, Bu Si's brigade was already in sight, and even the sand on the river beach began to beat uneasily.

Tyumen had no experience in commanding a ballista, so he had to look at Huangfu Song for help. Huangfu Song smiled, and ordered in an orderly manner, ranging, focusing, loading, and triggering, and ten crossbow arrows as thick as children's arms were fired with the sound of wind and thunder.

Cangting's yellow scarves were the first time they had seen this kind of weapon of mass destruction, and Lu Zhi had a few ballistas under him in the past, but they were always destroyed by Zhang Jiao's lightning strike at the first time, and no one realized how terrifying this thing was. The sharp sound of the wind passed, and the huge arrows easily tore through the flesh, crushing all the men and horses in the range into powder, leaving ten wide avenues of flesh and blood.

How could the Yellow Turbans ever see such a murderous weapon? One by one, they were all stunned, seeing that the officers and soldiers in the camp were twisting the bandages and making a creaking sound, Bu Si was frightened and shouted: "Retreat, retreat, retreat to the village and wait for help." ”

At this time, there was no need for Huangfu Song to remind him anymore, and Tyuming ordered loudly: "Beat the drum and order the whole army to attack." ”

As soon as the drum sounded, Wei Yan, who was galloping along the river, turned his horse's head for the first time, waved his gun and shouted: "I have been chased by them all night, and I have long been aggrieved, sons, counterattack, counterattack." ”

Wei Yan rushed ahead first, and countless cavalry galloped out from the camp, from the river beach, and from the slope, shooting like arrows from the string to the chaotic Yellow Turban Army. Bu Si returned to the army and hurriedly left, and in the middle of the line, a drum sounded on the side of the road, and Dian Wei's army came out and immediately killed more than a dozen generals. Bu Si rushed to the bloody road, less than ten miles, Zhang Liao intercepted and killed for a while, killing the corpses of the yellow turbans all over the field and bleeding into the canal.

Bu Si was frightened, rushed into the old village, ordered the three armies to make food, and waited for food, Zhang Liao on the left, Dian Wei on the right, and Wei Yan in the middle of the road to kill at the same time. Bu Si shouted: "If you don't decide to fight to the death, you will be captured", riding a bareback horse to fight Dian Wei, only one together, was captured alive by Dian Wei and caught, and the rest of the people knelt on the ground to surrender.

When Qiuming and Huangfu Song arrived quickly, the fire in the village had subsided, and everyone was bound. Qiu Ming was proud in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be humble and said: "Master, was I in a hurry just now, I should have waited for the ballista to shoot a few more rounds before launching a charge." ”

Huangfu Song brushed his beard and said: "The ballista is too slow to load, but it is too late to send it again, and your timing is just right." The reason why I ordered the ballista to be dispatched was because I was afraid that you would be nervous for the first time, and you behaved well. However, after all, something like a ballista is too bulky to be a force that determines the battlefield, so you should try not to count it in the future. ”

Qiu Ming hurriedly nodded and agreed, and if he wanted to say something more, Dian Wei had already proudly carried Bu Si over to receive the merit. Huangfu Song asked a few words, and when he saw Bu Si's unruly look, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he directly ordered it to be pushed out and cut down.

After a while, Zhang Liao also came over and saluted: "There are a total of 7,319 men in the village, and the number of women, girls and children is about double this. ”

Huangfu Song didn't want to think about it: "All the men will be executed, the women and children will be dispersed, and we will burn the village and leave." ”
