39.Chapter 39: Wang Yan's Strategy

"Boom!"

The spear and the broadsword intersected, making a pleasant jingo resonance.

"Huh?"

Seeing the spear he stabbed out being swung away, Chen Xu was very surprised.

He is conceited of his natural power, and among the people he knows, only Dian Wei's strength far exceeds him, but he didn't expect that now a shot was stabbed, and he was actually blocked by an unknown yellow turban general.

"Come again!"

Without a single move, Chen Xu continued to fight with the Yellow Turban general.

Stabbing, picking, smashing, and sweeping, these most basic moves were used by Chen Xu, but they were extremely powerful, and after more than a dozen rounds, the Yellow Turban Junior was gradually defeated.

"Kill!"

The nearby Yellow Turban Army also saw that their main general was at a disadvantage, and some people came over to help the Yellow Turban General.

"Good time!"

Seeing this, Chen Xu was not surprised or overjoyed, shouted loudly, and killed two people in a row with a spear.

The Yellow Turban Army, which was already small in number and at a disadvantage, now has more than a dozen non-commissioned officers, and the front fighting with the officers and men is becoming more and more poor.

The Yellow Turban general looked at the battle situation where the defeat was decided, shook his numb hands, and felt bitter in his heart.

Chen Xu is famous for his bravery, and if he really lives up to his reputation, the next time he fights, he doesn't know if he can still block the spear in Chen Xu's hand.

If it hadn't been for a dozen soldiers desperately blocking him this time, he might have died.

Thinking of the great sage and good teacher's lofty ambitions, he mustered up his courage and shouted: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!" ”

The voice dragged on a little long, and it was also a little tragic.

The Yellow Turban General used all his strength to pick up the big knife and slash at Chen Xu, ignoring the spear that Chen Xu stabbed at him.

"He wants to die with me."

Chen Xu's mind turned sharply, and he suddenly stopped the spear's attack, and on the side of his body, another shot stabbed out.

The way of using the spear, when the force is seven points, the retention force is three points, so that the spear can run as expected, and can attack and defend.

Although Chen Xu has not been taught marksmanship by a famous teacher, he still understands these simplest truths.

Therefore, from the midway to the change of tactics, and then to the stabbing of the Yellow Turban general, there was no pause.

Blood, left along the tip of the spear......

The eyes of the Yellow Turban General were full of unwillingness, he was not afraid of death, but regretted that he did not die with this enemy of the Yellow Turban Army.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing!"

The yellow turban general muttered in a low voice, and his body spun in a circle in place with Chen Xu's action of pulling out his gun, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The battlefield seems to be frozen at this moment, the lord will be killed, his own soldiers and horses are at a disadvantage, no matter how brave the Yellow Turban Army is, except for a very small number of Yellow Turban generals' personal soldiers, the few remaining Yellow Turban Army all began to collapse.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Although the officers and men won this battle, the tenacious Yellow Turban Army still caused great casualties to the officers and soldiers.

When the officers and soldiers saw the robes lying in a pool of blood one by one, they persevered and pursued the fleeing Yellow Turban Army.

Chen Xu still stopped in place, looking at the dead Yellow Turban General with a complicated expression.

He respects this person and sympathizes with the Yellow Turban, but on the battlefield, there is no right or wrong, only life and death.

Retracting his thoughts, Chen Xu raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Pass on my military order, don't chase after the poor, and order the officers and soldiers of all departments to clean up the battlefield!" ”

The officers and men looked at the tall figure of the chief general, and their faces showed a look of awe.

The so-called trophies are nothing more than weapons, flags, and armor.

Due to the privatization of the booty, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, all of them fierce and happy.

The weather in May is neither cold nor hot, and it is a good season for war.

Many county sergeants and soldiers have just experienced the battle, and when they were nervous during the battle, they didn't feel it, but after the battle, they couldn't help but vomit when they saw the scene of corpses all over the field.

After estimating the hour, Chen Xu knew that the Yellow Turban reinforcements from the other three city gates were coming, and immediately ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the city.

The officers and soldiers in this state, although they won a big victory and their morale was greatly boosted, they could not compete with the Yellow Turban Army at all, so Chen Xu had to temporarily avoid the edge.

Soon after returning to the city, there was a lot of dust outside the city, and Wang Yan took the Yellow Turban Army around the south gate and took the lead to the east gate.

Seeing the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army all over the field, his face was full of remorse.

He was originally very satisfied with the plan he came up with, and even a little proud, but he didn't want to bluff the plan, which was seen through by Chen Xu so quickly, and a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers died like this.

After the time of half a pillar of incense, Wang Yan had just sent the Yellow Turban soldiers to collect the corpse of the robe, and the Yellow Turban Army from the North Gate and the West Gate also arrived one after another.

Seeing the death of friendly soldiers, many Yellow Turban soldiers were full of sadness, and several generals asked Wang Yan for his life and went to attack the city to avenge the dead robes.

Although Wang Yan was remorseful and angry in his heart, he was familiar with military books since he was a child, and knew that 'he would not be able to raise troops out of anger', so he ignored the many generals who were seeking war and directly ordered the withdrawal of the army.

The strength of the Yellow Turban Army originally exceeded the number of officers and soldiers, but after this battle, it was almost the same as the number of officers and soldiers in the city.

Although the Yellow Turban Army was brave, its own new defeat, coupled with the fact that the officers and soldiers had the city wall to rely on, if they attacked rashly, they would definitely be defeated and invincible.

Looking at the departing Yellow Turban Army from afar, Chen Xu sighed in his heart.

was frustrated twice but the army was not disturbed, he really didn't expect that the real Yellow Turban Army in history was actually strong.

Although the Yellow Turban Army retreated, Chen Xu still felt uneasy in his heart, he didn't know where the five thousand Yellow Turban Army who left had gone.

Walking back and forth on the city wall a few times, Chen Xu suddenly shouted: "Now that the Yellow Turban Army has retreated, when the Guang sends scouts to investigate the movements of the remaining five thousand Yellow Turban Army." ”

……

That night, the scouts sent out by Puyang City had not yet returned, and suddenly there was a loud shout outside the city, Chen Xu woke up and quickly came to the city wall.

After arriving at the wall, Chen Xu looked at Chen Jing, who was guarding on the city wall, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Pointing to a group of untidy defeated soldiers outside the city, Chen Jing said: "These people say that they are the defenders of the White Horse, if it is dark today, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will deceive the city, so I dare not let them in, and I don't think that these people will be scolding outside the city." ”

Chen Xu looked at the city by the moonlight, and there were about 100 people.

Many of them were untidy and bloody, and at first glance they looked like a group of defeated soldiers.

However, their banners and armor do show that they are Han officers and soldiers.

As if remembering something, Chen Xu's face changed, and he shouted to the people under the city: "You have to panic when you wait, now our army is fighting with the Yellow Turban, and there is nothing wrong with careful precautions, if it is proved that you are really a white horse defender, you will definitely open the door and let you come in." ”

Chen Xu asked people to put down two baskets and pulled up the two most official positions in the defeated army.

At this time, Qiao Mao also led the county officials to arrive.

Although he did not interfere in the military affairs of Puyang, he was the Taishou of Dongjun after all, and he heard the shouts outside the city, thinking that it was the Yellow Turban Army attacking the city, and he didn't care about resting, so he put on some clothes and came to the city wall.

Two men with bloodstained faces were pulled up, and the new soldier Cao Pengshi shouted: "Aren't you the thief Cao of the White Horse, why do you look like this, could it be that the White Horse has been broken by the Yellow Turban Army?" ”

When the county officials heard this, their faces changed.

Although there are not many officers and soldiers on the white horse, many rich and powerful families have taken refuge in the county seat, and the county soldiers plus these people's private soldiers also have one or two thousand people, how can the Yellow Turban Army break through the white horse quietly?

The thief Cao of the white horse settled down and told the cause and effect one by one.

It turned out that a few days ago, the White Horse County ordered scouts to be sent to reconnoiter the battle situation in Puyang, and because the Yellow Turban Army was very well guarded, they could not get close to Puyang, but they heard the sound of killing every day.

Last night, a messenger from Puyang suddenly came to Baima with a letter asking for help, saying that after the Yellow Turban Army's grain and grass were destroyed, the offensive was very fierce, and Puyang could no longer support it, and asked Baima to send troops to support.

The Baima County Commander considered that if he saw that Puyang City was broken but did not send troops to rescue, it would definitely be a big crime in the future.

Moreover, after the city of Puyang is broken, Baima will definitely be difficult to support alone, and sooner or later it will be broken by the Yellow Turban, so the Baima County Order will let the thief Cao exhaust the defenders in the county to support Puyang.

But he didn't want to be ambushed by the Yellow Turban Army halfway, almost all the officers and soldiers were annihilated, and the way back to Baima was blocked by the Yellow Turban Army, so he had to take the remnants of the army to Puyang.

When the minister of state heard this, he stumbled and paused: "In this way, the white horse is in danger!" ”

Few of the officials who can become officials in a county are stupid people, and the faces of the officials in the other counties have also changed greatly.

Puyang has never written a letter asking for help to the White Horse, and the letter must have been forged by the Yellow Turban Army, the purpose of which is to lure out the White Horse defenders, first eliminate the White Horse defenders, and then attack the White Horse.

In this way, the strange behavior of the Yellow Turban Army during this period can be explained.

besieged but not attacked, but shouted loudly every day, just to let the rest of the county know that the Yellow Turban Army was storming Puyang, and then it was logical for them to cheat and ask for help.

Jun Cheng frowned and said: "Even if the White Horse defenders are all wiped out by the Yellow Turban Army, there are still more than a thousand powerful private soldiers in White Horse City, if the White Horse is at a critical juncture of life and death, how can they sit idly by?" ”

When the rest of the officials heard this, their faces turned slightly pale.

Chen Xu rubbed his brows, sighed, and said, "White Horse City must have been broken by the Yellow Turban Army!" ”
