35.Chapter 35

"Chen Jing listens to the order, you lead a hundred people, and set fire everywhere after entering the account."

"Order!"

"Chen Hu obeyed the order, you led 400 people to attack the enemy's rear barracks, and you must burn the enemy's grain and grass."

"Order!"

"The rest of the people, follow me into the camp tent of the Chinese army, and capture myself alive. Meritorious service, right now! ”

Although the soldiers were all enthusiastic, they did not dare to speak out.

Before Chen Xu robbed the camp, in order to avoid being discovered by the Yellow Turban Army, he issued a military order that the soldiers were not allowed to speak.

More than 1,000 people quietly approached the Yellow Turban camp until they reached the gate of the camp, and no one found it.

At this time, there was no need to hide anymore, Chen Xu directly sent someone to break through the gate of the camp, and then led someone to kill him.

"Kill! Capture yourself alive! ”

"Capture yourself!"

……

For a while, the fire in the Yellow Turban tent rose to the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing was deafening, and the Yellow Turban Army woke up from their sleep, crying and running in all directions.

The officers and men went on a rampage, and the momentum was like splitting bamboo, and they did not encounter any decent resistance along the way. Chen Xu looked at the big tent of the Chinese army and led the troops to kill him directly.

I have to say that robbing the camp at night is indeed a very wonderful thing.

If the two armies faced each other, the officers and soldiers under Chen Xu were not necessarily the opponents of the Yellow Turban Army, but now relying on a sneak attack, many Yellow Turban generals could not collect the soldiers, and many soldiers did not get weapons, and the whole scene was completely chaotic.

The morale of the officers and men, who were still a little timid, suddenly increased greatly, and everyone fought bravely to kill the enemy.

"Capture yourself!"

"Capture yourself!"

The shouts were getting louder and louder, and the Yellow Turban Army was even more warless.

Chen Xu led the officers and soldiers to the Chinese army, only to see that Bu Ji had gathered some of his own soldiers and was shouting at the soldiers who had fled in all directions.

Seeing Bu Ji, Chen Xu's eyes lit up, and he didn't answer, but shot an arrow directly.

Bu Ji is not an idle person, seeing Chen Xu holding his bow and arrows, his body flicked, Chen Xu's bow and arrow did not shoot Bu Ji, only shot his left arm.

Chen Xu didn't comply, put away his bow and arrows and beckoned the soldiers to go forward to kill, vowing to kill Bu Ji.

There were only a few dozen personal soldiers beside Bu Ji, and he was injured again, how could he stop hundreds of officers and soldiers? Dozens of people had already died in a matter of moments.

Seeing that Chen Xu was covered in blood, brave and invincible, and there was no enemy under him. Bu Ji couldn't help but cry out sadly: "My life is over!" I hate to listen to the words of the king! ”

Bu Ji held a knife in his right hand and said loudly to his own soldiers: "Don't worry about me, break out." After finding Wang Yan, let him take over the position of Qu Shuai and help the great sage and good teacher overthrow this corrupt dynasty. ”

Dozens of pro-soldiers naturally did not allow it, no matter how angry Bu Ji scolded, he still desperately protected him.

When Chen Xu heard Bu Ji's words, he was shocked, it was good to kill Bu Ji, but if the Yellow Turban was handed over to Wang Yan as commander, it would definitely be more difficult to deal with than Bu Ji.

When he was hesitating to kill this person, Chen Xu found that the left army of the Yellow Turban on the battlefield had erected a big banner. In the light of the fire, you can vaguely see the words written on it: The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand.

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

As this voice sounded, the Yellow Turban Army, which had fled in all directions, seemed to have found the backbone of the main heart, and immediately looked full of fanaticism, and gathered towards the banner without fear of death.

Those Yellow Turban soldiers who were chased and killed by the officers and soldiers also stopped, chanting the slogan 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand', and actually turned around with their bare hands to fight with the officers and soldiers.

A yellow turban soldier, ignoring the spears that the officers and soldiers had stabbed at him, picked up a charred wooden stick and smashed it directly at the officer who stabbed him in the face.

The officers and men were taken aback by the madness of the Yellow Turban Army, and they actually had a fear of war.

The 400 officers and soldiers led by Chen Hu were about to kill the Yellow Turban Army's rear barracks where the grain and grass were stacked, but they saw the Yellow Turban soldiers who had originally scattered and fled, and they were all afraid of life and death to stop Chen Hu.

Their predecessors were some hungry homeless people, well aware of the importance of food, and now the slogan of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand" sounded, they are no longer afraid, and swear to defend the grain and grass to the death.

"Damn, are these people crazy?"

Chen Xu slashed to death a Yellow Turban soldier who rushed towards him, and when he saw the Yellow Turban Army so crazy, he said hatefully.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield take a turn for the worse, Chen Xu didn't expect that just a slogan could actually make the defeated Yellow Turban Army muster up courage and not be afraid of death.

Seeing that things can't be done, if it drags on any longer, when the Yellow Turban Army stands up, only the 1,000 officers and soldiers he brought will definitely not be able to resist the Yellow Turban Army. At that moment, he sighed secretly and shouted loudly: "Withdraw the army!" Withdrawal! ”

Vaguely, he saw Wang Yan standing under the big banner, chanting the slogan 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand', and countless defeated Yellow Turban troops ran towards him.

It's just a slogan, why can the Yellow Turban Army turn defeat into victory?

No, that's not just a slogan! It represents the hope of countless homeless and hungry people......

The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? Since these people joined the Yellow Turban Army, there is no way out. Either die in battle, or create a future for your children and grandchildren.

The sound of gold sounded, and the officers and soldiers who were shocked by the madness of the Yellow Turban Army were all overjoyed, and under the leadership of the main general, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

Chen Hu looked at the grain and grass close at hand, looked at the Yellow Turban Army who fought to the death, thought of his mother being favored by the Taiping Dao, and thought of the countless people who were starved to death, after all, none of them burned these grains and grass.

He is a true man who knows how to repay his kindness.

Hearing the sound of Mingjin, he beckoned his officers and soldiers and hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield. At this time, there were less than ten Yellow Turban soldiers who were still guarding in front of the grain and grass.

After leaving the Yellow Turban Village, Chen Hu asked Chen Xu for guilt, Chen Xu sighed slightly, but did not say anything.

He himself is very conflicted, no one knows the importance of food better than him, he wants to win the battle, but he also does not want to burn the grain and grass. Under this ambivalence, Chen Hu was sent to burn grain.

In fact, in his heart, he was still looking forward to something......

After counting the number of people, Chen Xu found that the hundred people led by Chen Jing had not returned, and he was anxious.

At this moment, the camp behind the Yellow Turban Village was on fire, and the camp that had just been calm was boiling again.

Chen Xu and Chen Hu's faces changed.

"Big brother, I didn't expect Ah Jing to burn the yellow turban grain and grass. But how can they escape, with only a hundred of them? Shall we send troops to the rescue? ”

Chen Hu's face was full of anxiety, although he liked to bully Chen Jing when he was a child, but the two were brothers after all, how could he not worry about Chen Jing's safety?

Besides, if he hadn't burned the grain and grass, how could Chen Jing take the risk of burning the grain? Although he sympathized with the Yellow Turban Army, he cared more about Chen Jing's life than his brother's life.

When Chen Xu saw the fire in the camp behind the yellow scarf, he sighed secretly in his heart, compared to Chen Jing, his heart was still too soft.

At this time, he remembered what Qiao Xuan had told him: Ci is not in charge of the army.

The current Chen Xu is not a qualified commander at all.

"Ah Hu don't worry, Ah Jing has always been cautious, since he dares to set fire to the grain, there must be a way to get out."

At this time, as long as the head of the commander of the Yellow Turban Army is not broken, he will desperately put out the fire first, so that the chances of Chen Jing and the others escaping will be greatly increased.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chen Jing to come back with more than seventy people.

Chen Jing saluted Chen Xu and said, "The eldest brother asked me to set fires everywhere, but I didn't want to lead people to break into the place where the enemy was hoarding grain and grass, so he burned the enemy's grain and grass." ”

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Xu said: "Ah Jing can burn the thief's grain and grass, this is a great achievement, and when I return to the county, I will definitely ask for credit for you." ”

Shaking his head, Chen Jing said: "Brother's words are wrong, if it weren't for Ah Hu's desperate killing of the enemy, so that there were not many soldiers left in the thief army's grain guard, how could I burn the thief's army's grain and grass?" Such a great achievement is none other than Ah Hu. ”

Looking at Chen Jing steadily, Chen Xu had mixed feelings in his heart, why didn't he understand what Chen Jing meant?

Chen Jing was saying that he did not burn the enemy's grain and grass for merit.

As early as when Chen Xu sent Chen Hu to burn grain, Chen Jing knew what Chen Xu was thinking.

Although Chen Xu and Chen Hu are brave, they both have some compassion and compassion, plus they are both honest farmers, and they attach great importance to food, so from the bottom of their hearts, they are unwilling to burn those grains.

In particular, Chen Hu's family received the favor of the Taiping Sect and sent him to burn grain, just like Zhuge Liang sent Guan Yu to intercept and kill Cao Cao, making it clear that he would not succeed.

However, the two armies are at war, and there is no right or wrong, either you die or I die.

Although stealing the camp can dampen the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, if the grain and grass cannot be burned, the Yellow Turban Army only needs to rest for a few days before it can recover.

At that time, with the bravery of the Yellow Turban Army, they will clash again, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Chen Jing knew this, but when Chen Xu sent Chen Hu to burn grain, he didn't object, just silently did what he didn't want to do for Chen Xu.

Hearing that Chen Jing was going to give him the credit for burning grain, Chen Hu's face turned red, and he said loudly: "I didn't complete the military order, and I don't bother to take the credit for Ah Jing, even if the eldest brother punishes me." ”

The two have lived together since childhood, how could Chen Jing not understand Chen Hu's character and stop talking at the moment.

So much grain was burned, although Chen Xu felt a little regretful, he would not say anything about Chen Jing, and said at the moment: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, and it will not be too late to wait until you return to the city." ”

Chen Jing looked at the Yellow Turban military camp with great fire, her face was red, and the whole person was excited, and said to Chen Xu: "Now that the enemy's grain and grass have been burned, and the army's morale is in chaos, why don't I go back to the army again and kill for a while?" ”

He was a capable, ambitious man. He will not have the benevolence of women like Chen Xu and Chen Hu. For his relatives, he devotes himself to fellowship, and for enemies, if possible, he will not give the other party a chance to turn over.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xu shook his head and said, "The method of stealing the camp can no longer be used. Although the enemy is in chaos, they have faith and are not afraid of death. Now that the robe has been slain and the grain and grass have been burned, they are already mourning soldiers, and if we persecute too much, we will definitely be defeated. ”

Chen Xu still didn't say anything, he thought of the banner of 'the sky is dead' raised in the chaos of the army, and thought of the countless Yellow Turban soldiers who shouted 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand' and was not afraid of death, and he actually felt inexplicable tragedy and chill in his heart.

"If that banner doesn't fall, the Yellow Turban Army will have enough faith to overcome everything, right?" Chen Xu sighed secretly in his heart.
