Time goes back an hour ago.

After two days of concurrent travel, Li Pengfei led his army to a place 50 miles away from Tuyin City.

According to the plan, Li Pengfei sent his own fine work to the Yellow Turban Camp to deliver false news while letting the army rest for a short time to prepare for the next surprise attack.

On the way to Tuyin City, Li Pengfei sent a large number of rangers to hunt down and kill the spies of the Yellow Turban Army to achieve the purpose of hiding their tracks.

Quanzhou is three hundred and fifty miles away from Tuyin City, even if it is full of cavalry, it is a little tiring to drive such a long way. Moreover, it is impossible for a large army to suddenly switch from a state of march to a surprise attack, which requires a process.

As soon as the half hour arrived, Li Pengfei ordered the army to assemble, and then quickly rushed to the Yellow Turban Army camp.

This time, Li Pengfei did not send a ranger to block the investigation of the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army, because he had already sent a fine work to convey false news to Cheng Yuanzhi, and his army was also under the banner of Deng Mao, and it was the dress of the Yellow Turban Army, which did not make the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army suspicious at all.

When he was about seven miles away from the Yellow Turban Army camp, Li Pengfei saw movement in the Yellow Turban Army camp from a distance.

Originally, he thought that the plan was exposed, and Cheng Yuanzhi led the army out of the camp to meet the battle. However, after a while, he found that this was not the case, and Cheng Yuanzhi did not suspect it at all, he was leading the army out of the camp to meet Deng Mao.

Of course, Li Pengfei would not greet Cheng Yuanzhi, and immediately ordered the whole army to make a surprise attack.

Immediately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led 500 cavalry as the left and right wings, while Li Pengfei personally led 2,000 cavalry, and the three cavalry were like three sharp arrows, shooting at Cheng Yuanzhi's army formation.

When Cheng Yuanzhi realized that something was wrong, the two armies were already less than two miles apart, that is, more than 800 meters.

With such a short distance, the cavalry, who was in a state of sprinting at full speed, only took a minute to rush through this distance.

Perhaps in normal times, a minute seems like a lot of time. But for the actions of the army, it was only a moment.

It was like a huge wave crashing into the embankment, and a loud bang sounded at the moment when the two sides came into contact.

Because the Yellow Turban Army discovered that the enemy attack was too late, it did not form an effective defensive formation at all, and the cavalry led by Li Pengfei broke through into the Yellow Turban Army's main formation with just a sprint.

When Cheng Yuanzhi saw Li Pengfei's cavalry rushing to a distance of 100 paces in front of the formation and began to fire arrows, he already realized that something was wrong, and retreated to the rear under the escort of 300 personal soldiers.

In this way, Cheng Yuanzhi escaped the baptism of cavalry bows and arrows under Li Pengfei, and also avoided the moment when the cavalry charged the most impactful moment, but in this way, it was difficult to restrain the retreating footsteps, and finally turned into fleeing in the direction of the camp.

Li Pengfei led his personal guards and followed the banner of the Yellow Turban Army in rapid pursuit, and soon chiseled through the Yellow Turban Army's military formation. But he didn't continue to chase, he had more important things to do than chasing down Cheng Yuanzhi who had escaped from the big array.

Le Ma turned around, and Li Pengfei led the guards and rushed into the Yellow Turban Army's large array again. His purpose is very clear, that is, to completely defeat the Yellow Turban Army in front of him, so that it will not form a joint force.

The threat of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers scattered in the sand is completely incomparable compared to the soldiers who formed a military formation.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army saw that the main general had fled, but they had no intention of fighting, and under the back and forth charge of the 2,000 cavalry led by Li Pengfei, they were completely scattered in formation, and were divided into dozens of small pieces, fighting separately.

However, Guan Yu, who originally attacked the Yellow Turban Army formation from the flank, saw that the Yellow Turban Army's main formation could not even block Li Pengfei's impact, so he immediately changed his strategy, led his 500 cavalry, bypassed a big bend, and copied between the Yellow Turban Army's large array and the main camp, and actually wanted to prevent these Yellow Turban Army troops outside the main camp from escaping back to the main camp.

Cheng Yuanzhi was just about to flee back to the camp, but was intercepted by Guan Yu, who led the army.

Guan Yu saw that a yellow turban general appeared on the opposite side, and he was overjoyed, dancing with a big knife, and flying on a horse.

Cheng Yuanzhi was originally happy when he saw the gate of the camp in sight, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to suddenly kill, he was taken aback, caught off guard, and was swung into two pieces by Guan Yu's knife.

The vast majority of the 80,000 Yellow Turban troops under this Tuyin City are homeless people who have been wrapped up, and those who can really barely be regarded as an army are the 10,000 horses brought out by Cheng Yuanzhi, and the 70,000 horses in the camp are all rabble, without the will to fight.

Now, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in these camps saw that Cheng Yuanzhi was beheaded, and the 10,000 elites who were taken out of the camp also collapsed, and they all turned away and fled in all directions.

Although Li Pengfei did have the intention of raiding the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, he did not expect to be able to kill Cheng Yuanzhi, the chief general of the Yellow Turban Army, in one battle and win a complete victory.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was already in a state of collapse, Li Pengfei immediately changed his strategy and ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead their own troops and horses to intercept the defeated Yellow Turban Army that had scattered and fled.

These Yellow Turban soldiers are all young and middle-aged, and they are the best population resource. In this era, population resources are the most scarce resources, especially in this era of troubled times.

……

In Tuyin City, Gongsun Chan and Taishou Liu Zheng looked at the changes that happened under the city in a daze, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Originally, the two thought that the Yellow Turban Army had come to reinforcements, and they sighed that there was no possibility of sparing, but they didn't expect that things would come to a 180-degree turn in a blink of an eye, and the Yellow Turban Army cavalry from that source actually attacked the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and even killed Cheng Yuanzhi, the main general of the Yellow Turban Army.

And after the two sides started the battle, Gongsun Chan and the others also discovered that the attacking cavalry actually took off the Yellow Turban Army uniform outside, revealing the armor inside. Although he is not a soldier of the imperial court, he is obviously not a yellow turban thief. Moreover, looking at its banner, a big "Han" banner of the Chinese army flutters in the wind, and a slightly smaller "Li" flag next to it, while the two partial divisions are respectively a "Guan" banner and a "Zhang" banner.

At this time, where did the two not know that the cavalry who attacked the Yellow Turban Thief was not really the Yellow Turban Thief, but the imperial court reinforcements came to attack the camp in disguise?

Gongsun Zhan immediately said to Liu Zheng: "Envoy, please allow me to lead my troops out of the city, attack the Yellow Turban Thieves on both sides with the army that comes to help, and solve the siege of the Yellow Turban Thieves in one fell swoop!" ”

Liu Zheng said with some hesitation: "Bo Zheng is slow, now that the enemy and I are unknown, I think it is better for us to watch from the wall for the time being." ”

Gongsun Chan also hesitated when he heard Liu Zheng's words. Although the cavalry that attacked the Yellow Turban Thieves was obviously not with the Yellow Turban Thieves, they were not necessarily friendly troops. If you rashly lead your army out of the city and cause the city to fall, you will really become a sinner.

However, if he just sat back and watched everything under the city, Gongsun Chan was a little unwilling. Those are all military exploits, and his grandson Chan is over thirty years old. Sage Kong said that he would stand at thirty, but he was only a county lieutenant. Now in this troubled era, it is the best time for him to make a contribution, and he doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

You know, there are a full 80,000 Yellow Turban thieves in the city, if you can participate in the operation of annihilating such a Yellow Turban thief, what a great contribution it will be, maybe you can become a 2,000-stone level member like the captain of Wuhuan, and it is not impossible to become a county guard.

Just when Gongsun Chan was at war with heaven and man in his heart, he rode to the city and said loudly: "Which envoy is in front of the city?" ”

When Liu Zheng heard this, he replied: "I am too protective of Liu Zheng, who do I respect?" ”

The soldier smiled and said: "It turned out to be Liu Yuanjun, and the lord of my family is Li Yi from Yuyang Quanzhou, this time by the edict of the Son of Heaven, the rebel army suppressed the thieves......"

The soldier told Liu Zheng about the situation, and finally let Liu Zheng understand what the situation was now.

Liu Zheng is no stranger to the Li family in Quanzhou, because the Li family's snow salt is now too famous in the north. The salt that his family eats every day is produced by the Li family.

As for the imperial court's edict requiring the rebel armies of the wealthy clans in various places to participate in the suppression of thieves, Liu Zheng now knows about it. But the doubts in Liu Zheng's heart are still there, he knows very well that the edict of the Son of Heaven has only been issued not long ago, and the time it has been transmitted to Youzhou even later, he knew about it the day before Cheng Yuanzhi besieged the city. If Cheng Yuanzhi had besieged the city for a day, he might not have been able to get this news.

After receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, even if the powerful people in various places want to organize a righteous army, it is difficult to have any combat effectiveness in a short period of time. But the cavalry under the city looked like a well-trained army, and the two thousand soldiers under his command were completely incomparable.

How could such an elite army be trained in just a few days?
