98.Chapter 98: The Yellow Turban Doesn't Die

Qinghe's swan song is sung as the tragedy of the Yellow Turban Army.

What is there to fear when there is a will to die in the heart? The Yellow Turban Army ignored the officers and soldiers behind them, and ignored the county soldiers who were waving flags on the other side.

Without hesitation, they threw themselves into the river one by one.

The officers and soldiers on the west bank of the Qinghe River were a little moved when they saw the Yellow Turban Army acting like this.

The general who once asked Huangfu Song why he didn't take advantage of the situation to cover up and completely eliminate the Yellow Turban Army. When I saw the Yellow Turban Army, I was even more impressed when I saw that he was acting as his coach guessed.

He looked at Huangfu Song's eyes, and he admired it even more.

However, Huangfu Song was not happy about this. He just frowned, his heart full of worry.

"Such a Yellow Turban Army is really terrifying. If Zhang Jiao didn't die, would I really be able to wipe them out so easily? ”

Huangfu Song asked himself, feeling that if Zhang Jiao did not die, he would not be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army with only this little force in his hands.

"Fortunately, God bless the Han, there is no one in the Yellow Turban Army who has such a reputation as Zhang Jiao, and there is no excellent commander, otherwise this rebellion will be really difficult to quell."

Huangfu Song thought secretly in his heart.

From the beginning of his campaign against the Yellow Turbans, he has seen the tenacity of the Yellow Turban Army. In Yingchuan, he was also besieged by the Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai.

If it weren't for Bocai's ignorance of the art of war, he would have set up camp according to the grass, which gave him the opportunity to attack the Yellow Turban Army with fire. The outcome of that war is really a bit unpredictable.

Up to now, nearly 2,000 people have thrown the Yellow Turban Army into the river.

At this moment, the pre-dawn darkness passed, and the light of the morning sun shone on the earth, appearing to be alive.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"

A deafening shout suddenly came from the east bank of the Qing River. Hearing this voice, the officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army who were throwing themselves into the river were stunned.

A banner with the word "Chen" appeared in everyone's field of vision in the light of the morning light. A group of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses suddenly killed the county soldiers stationed at the boundary bridge.

This force is led by Chen Xu and is ready to come back to rescue Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army.

After Chen Xu returned to Qinghe Kingdom, his troops were divided into two routes.

all the way to attack Ganling with great fanfare; The other way hid its traces, went out by day and night, rushed to the only way to Ganling from the boundary bridge, and ambushed it.

In this way, the Yellow Turban Army waited for work and defeated the county soldiers who withdrew from the boundary bridge, killing more than 3,000 people.

Then, the two roads converged and rushed to the boundary bridge.

Yesterday, Chen Xu and the others had already arrived at the place of thirty miles from the boundary bridge. The army rushed all the way, and it was already exhausted. Chen Xu reported according to the scout and knew that Guangzong had not yet been lost, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He ordered his subordinates to camp and rest for the night, preparing to capture the Jieqiao and enter Guangzong today. But he didn't want to, and that night he saw the direction of Guangzong from a distance, and the fire rose to the sky.

Chen Xu was afraid that Guangzong would lose, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ordered the tent corporal to rush towards Guangzong.

It was only now that Chen Xu and others rushed to the boundary bridge. These Yellow Turban soldiers, across the river bank, saw a lot of robes thrown into the river to die, they were all stunned, and fought hard to kill the county soldiers on the east bank.

While charging, Chen Xu and others shouted the slogan 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand', giving confidence to those Yellow Turban soldiers who want to die by throwing themselves into the river.

The defenders of the boundary bridge were already about to be exhausted, how could they be the opponents of the 10,000 Yellow Turban elites? It was just a charge, and the east bank of the boundary bridge was captured by Chen Xu and others.

Under the fall of the rabbit, the situation on the east bank changed in an instant. Huangfu Song and the Yellow Turban Army who had not yet thrown themselves into the river were dumbfounded when they saw this.

When the Yellow Turban Army came back to their senses and knew that it was their own reinforcements who arrived, many people cried with joy.

Huangfu Song saw the boundary bridge on the other side, and it was captured by Chen Xu and others so quickly. At this time, he found that there were only a few hundred soldiers stationed at the boundary bridge.

Huangfu Song couldn't help but be angry, and scolded: "Piff! Piff! Ann dares to lie to me? ”

It turned out that the prime minister of Qinghe really listened to the words of his officials and summoned the officers and soldiers stationed at the boundary bridge. Only a few hundred people were left to raise flags and shout loudly every day, confusing the Yellow Turban Army on the other side of the river.

In fact, if Chen Xu hadn't attacked the boundary bridge, their suspicious plan would have been successful.

The Yellow Turban Army on the other side of the river just now, when they saw the situation on this side of the boundary bridge, they would rather throw themselves into the river and die, rather than think about breaking through.

The Gayne Bridge is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the Yellow Turban Army was raided by officers and soldiers, and many people escaped without getting weapons in their hands, which is why they were so desperate.

At this time, Huangfu Song already knew that the Yellow Turban Army would not throw themselves into the river and die again. He shouted loudly in the middle of the formation: "All the soldiers of the army obey the order, all charge, and kill the Yellow Turban thieves!" ”

The officers and soldiers saw the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Army, although there was some commotion.

But they all admired their own generals very much, so after hearing Huangfu Song's military order, they all fought hard and shouted to kill the Yellow Turban Army on the bank of the Qinghe River.

The unexpected reinforcements made these Yellow Turban Army, who were ready to throw themselves into the river and die, once again see the hope of life.

Who would want to give up their life unless they were forced to do so?

Some of the low-ranking generals in the Yellow Turban Army, when they saw the officers and soldiers charging forward, hurriedly shouted loudly: "Reinforcements are coming, and we can escape with our lives as long as we fight to the death." ”

"Brothers with weapons in your hands, take up your weapons, kill these evil officers and soldiers, and avenge the generals!"

"Kill! Avenge the general! ”

The morale of the Yellow Turban Army, who were desperate for survival, was suddenly greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the officers and soldiers with shouts regardless of whether they had weapons on their bodies or not.

Chen Xu, who captured the boundary bridge, took the lead and rushed to the other side of the river, followed by Chen Hu and Wang Yan.

The noisy banks of the Qinghe River became noisy again.

The officers and soldiers pursued the Yellow Turban Army for most of the night, from Guangzong to the banks of the Qinghe River. Although their morale is high, their physical strength has also been exhausted.

On the other hand, Chen Xu and the others were already running for dozens of days and were exhausted. In addition, they didn't have a good rest last night, so they hurriedly killed the boundary bridge, and the physical strength of the soldiers almost reached the limit.

The Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong, which had crossed the Qing River and summoned up courage, had already engaged the officers and soldiers. Although Chen Xu and the others were tired, they did not dare to slack off, and they shouted and killed the officers and soldiers.

"Boom!"

The sound of war drums rumbled, and the two tired divisions fought, and for a while they were a little inseparable.

Those Yellow Turban soldiers who had fled from Quang Jong and had no weapons in their hands fought with the officers and soldiers together with the soldiers who had weapons. Whenever someone was killed, they picked up their weapons from the ground and struck them again.

I have to say that this army of more than 20,000 officers and soldiers is elite and proud. Under the leadership of Huangfu Song, they have won consecutive battles and already have a belief in victory.

Even if they are still very tired now, even if they face the Yellow Turban Army, which is several times their size, they are still high-spirited and brave to kill the enemy.

Looking at the Yellow Turban Army again, those soldiers who were defeated from Guangzong, they were not even afraid to throw themselves into the river and die, how could they be afraid of dying in battle? There was no hope in sight before, and because they mourned more than they died, they did not resist and were ready to throw themselves into the river.

However, the arrival of reinforcements changed everything.

This time, if they don't fight hard and defeat again, then not only them, but even those robes who risked their lives to come to their rescue may also die here.

Huangfu Song looked at the stalemate battlefield, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Although he saw that the Yellow Turban Army that had just arrived, it was just a tired army.

However, the officers and soldiers are no better. In addition, the number of the Yellow Turban Army far exceeded the number of officers and men, and in this case, the further the battle was postponed, the more unfavorable it would be for the officers and men.

If the will of the Yellow Turban Army is not strong, it is easy to defeat.

But the problem is that the current Yellow Turban Army has burst out with terrible courage. They were not afraid of death, and even those Yellow Turban soldiers who had no weapons in their hands dared to pounce on the officers and soldiers.

Huangfu Song stepped aside, took the mallet from the soldier's hand, and beat the war drum vigorously.

While beating the war drums, he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, make meritorious contributions today!" We only need to add a little more strength to defeat the Yellow Turban Bandits. ”

When the officers and men saw their commander beating the drums in person, they even exerted all their strength and fought desperately. They are all veterans of the battlefield, and they have long seen that the Yellow Turban Army is a tired army. At this time, the comparison is the will of both sides.

For a time, the officers and men actually had the upper hand.

"Boom!"

In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, they also remembered the peculiar drum sound. I saw a woman dressed in uniform, beating the war drums desperately.

She didn't know how often to beat the drum, but every time she struck the drum, it took a lot of force.

Some of the Yellow Turban soldiers saw the figure beating the drum, and they shouted, "That's Miss, the daughter of a great sage!" Miss was beating the drum for us, Miss she didn't give up on us! ”

Many of the Yellow Turban soldiers who saw Zhang Ling burst into tears, and no one complained about the drums that were incompatible with the battlefield.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"

The Yellow Turban soldiers shouted unwillingly and bravely killed the enemy.

Only then did they remember what Qu Shuai had said before he threw himself into the river and died: "As long as the daughter of the great sage and good teacher is still there, the Yellow Turban Army will not perish!" ”
