Suijiashan was shrouded in darkness and silent, only the howling wind slapped the huge handsome flag, making bursts of piercing howls.

At the foot of the Sui Mountain, the camp tents of the Yellow Turban Army are densely packed and stretch for several miles. Countless torches swayed in the wind, like bewitching gems inlaid on black satin, showing a breathtaking light.

Huangfu Song, who was born in the reign of Emperor Yangjia of Hanshun, is already in his early fifties, and his hair and beard have begun to turn gray. At this time, he stood on the Sui Family Mountain, looking at the enemy camp, smiling and calm.

Just last year, he was also the Taishou of Beidi County, leading the local population against the invasion of the Xiongnu and Xianbei. At the beginning of this year, due to the Taiping Dao traitor Tang Zhou's informant, Zhang Jiao spread the stars in all directions and launched a rebellion. Wherever the Yellow Turban Army went, they burned the official mansion and plundered the townships, and for a time, the prefectures and counties were lost, the chiefs fled, the world responded, and the Beijing division was shaken.

At this critical juncture, the Son of Heaven recruited him as Zuo Zhonglang's general, and together with his friend Zhu Jun, he mobilized the country's elite soldiers to attack the Yellow Turban Army, and began his career as a horseman.

Under the leadership of him and Zhu Jun, although the main force of the imperial court army experienced the defeat in the early stage of Changshe City, but since he used fire to break the wave, he won a great victory all the way, as if destroying the withering and decaying, and in less than two months, he pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou and relieved the crisis of Luoyang, the capital division.

However, since he led the army north, things have not been so smooth, and until today, he and tens of thousands of troops have been surrounded on this small hill and have fallen to a dead end.

Why is this happening? Huangfu Song was a little dazed.

Huangfu Song was also thinking, if he hadn't rejected the opinion of the cavalry general Li Yi, and the two sides joined forces to attack the Yellow Turban Army, would the result be the same?

But this thought only turned around in his mind, and he was thrown aside. It's useless to think about things that have passed.

Huangfu Song had to admit that the man who was said to be only twenty years old. It has caused him a lot of pressure.

"I don't know if I can get to Ganling?" Qiao Mao, who was standing behind him, said worriedly.

"Yuan Wei, do you really think that Li Pengfei will rush to the rescue day and night?" Huangfu Song asked suspiciously.

"Definitely coming, as long as we can stay for another three days." Qiao Mao said resolutely.

Huangfu Song sighed, obviously not confident.

"You know when you see him, he's definitely a man." Qiao Mao said undoubtedly.

"Oh. A man? Huangfu Song turned to face him and asked in surprise, "Since you came back from Qingyuan, you haven't made any comments on him, I heard Shunzhi say that you scolded him in Qingyuan, why did you suddenly believe him so much today?" ”

Qiao Mao smiled bitterly. said: "Although he grew up in the border area and was full of recklessness, he is a descendant of Yuan Ligong after all, with a family history, his martial arts and talents are very admirable, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, his merits are beyond doubt." Pointing at Sang and scolding him that day, I was indeed a little wrong. I thought he was as greedy and cunning as a brute, and took advantage of the opportunity to blackmail us. filled his pockets, who knew that he really gave all the military salaries to the soldiers. I'll explain it to him when I get a chance. ”

Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment and asked, "So you believe him?" ”

"Yes. He treated those soldiers as if they were his own brothers, though we men despised them. But from another point of view, he has a big heart. Generally, people with a generous heart are loyal people, so I believe in him. Qiao Mao said very seriously.

Huangfu Song laughed. patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Brother Yuanwei is also a loyal and upright person, otherwise he would not offend many people. You see, can we keep it for three more days? ”

Qiao Mao shook her head. Judging from the grim situation today, not to mention the three-day watch, there are doubts about whether it will be able to hold out until tomorrow night.

The Sui Mountain where they are located is less than a hundred zhang high, and the terrain is not precipitous, so the location is not to be feared.

There are 200,000 Yellow Turban troops under the mountain, and they are strong under the command of Zhang Jiao, while they only have 50,000 officers and soldiers, and there is a huge gap in numbers, plus they are besieged here, and their morale is low.

There are three aspects on which the war depends: the right time, the right place, and the right people, and now there are two aspects that are not in their favor. As for the time, they also have no advantage. This battle will be extremely difficult to fight.

Huangfu Song laughed and said loudly: "Okay." This time, the old man also tasted the taste of blood-stained battlefield. ”

………………

Zhang Jiao's hair was a lot whiter again. He sat in the big tent, his cold face expressionless, and said murderously: "Tomorrow, we will launch the last strong attack, and kill Huangfu Song at all costs." ”

For the enemy, Zhang Jiao's most hated must be the cavalry general Li Yi, that young man who did not talk like a man, not only killed his own second brother, but also caused losses to the Yellow Turban Army of more than 600,000 troops.

Aside from Li Yi, Huangfu Song can definitely be ranked second. This executioner, the Yellow Turban Army brothers killed, even surpassed the cavalry general Li Yi. None of the Yellow Turban brothers who fell into his hands survived.

Now that there is an opportunity to kill this butcher, how can Zhang Jiao let it go?

Chu Yan was squatting on the ground looking at the map. He slowly stood up, looked at Zhang Jiao's murderous face, and said softly: "Scout report, the army of the cavalry general Li Yi has left Lingxian County and is coming quickly. We should draw 50,000 men and horses and rush to the great river to stop it. ”

"Great sage and good teacher, against each other on the plains, we really don't have the certainty of defeating the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. But ambushing him, it should still be certain. What's more, he only has 9,000 people now. Inside the tent, a young man of medium stature, with a scorched complexion and a fierce demeanor said loudly.

This young man is Yu Poison, a fierce general in the Yellow Turban Army.

"Dry poison, don't underestimate the enemy." Sun Qin, who was sitting next to him, whispered, "Listen to the great sages and good teachers, don't bluff." ”

Sitting next to Sun Qin, Zhang Niujiao said slowly: "Great sage and good teacher, and brothers, although we still have an army of 150,000, the enemy is only more than 30,000 people. However, we have to admit that the individual combat strength and weapons and armor of the officers and soldiers are far superior to ours. After three days of fierce fighting, the army had suffered 50,000 casualties, while we had only eliminated more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, which was a very disparity in the proportion of casualties. According to the plan of the great sage and good teacher, if you want to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop tomorrow, these 150,000 people must all be thrown into it. If 50,000 people are sent to Dahe to block the cavalry of the Youzhou army, not only will the troops on the main battlefield be insufficient, but I am worried that even if the Youzhou army is completely annihilated, I am afraid that there will be not many of these 50,000 people left. This seems to defeat the purpose of our fight. The casualties of the large army are too large, which will affect the rest of the battle. ”

Zhang Jiao immediately said in agreement: "Niu Jiao has said it very clearly, so leave him alone, we will concentrate all our forces and go all out to eliminate Huangfu Song cleanly and completely." Even if Li Yi's reinforcements keep coming, it will not be until tomorrow night at the earliest. By that time, there was nothing but dead bodies on Suijia Mountain. Our goal has been achieved, why should we fight with his cavalry and lose the soldiers in vain? ”

Although Zhang Jiao hated Li Yi, he still maintained great sanity and was not emotionally responsible in this major matter related to the life and death of the Yellow Turban Army.

Chu Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't block?" ”

Zhang Jiao nodded affirmatively and said loudly: "Don't block." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Chu Yan's eyes.

"Swallow, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and the enemies must be destroyed one by one, so there is no need to hurry. We have all seen Li Yi's cavalry, and when we confront him on the plains, our casualties are too great, and we really can't fight him. But what about the Tarzan area? Maybe he's just a sick cat. Zhang Jiao said slowly, "This time, we will fight Huangfu Song first." After beating Huangfu Song, the rest is him. ”

Chu Yan smiled, "I know, but I'm a little unconvinced, why is his luck so good every time?" This time his army of reinforcements had come all the way, and the soldiers were extremely tired and few in number, but it was simply strange that such a good opportunity could not be beaten against him. ”

Zhang Jiao smiled coldly, "No one's luck will always be so good." ”

………………

The clouds in the sky are particularly thick, and the sun is like a red and black disk, appearing and disappearing. There was hardly any wind, and the black Chinese character battle flag hung feebly from the high flagpole.

In order to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from setting fire to the mountain, Huangfu Song came down and cut down all the trees on the Sui Family Mountain, and the entire bare stump was full of corpses. Several obstacles of the officers and soldiers were successfully broken through by the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and they had no choice but to temporarily pile up the corpses of their comrades and use them as shelters to block arrows.

After nearly a day of bloody fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the battlefield within a radius of about a mile was strewn with corpses and a mess.

There were less than 10,000 officers and soldiers left, and they were squeezed onto two hills by the Yellow Turbans. On the left is the location of the Chinese army, and on the right is the place where the baggage is piled up.

The drums of war rang out again, and the sound shook the sky.

"Kill...... Kill ......"

The Yellow Turban soldiers let out an earth-shattering roar, and they frantically rushed up the mountain from all directions, weapons in the air. For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Huangfu Song sat quietly under the banner of Shuai, looking at the fierce battle battlefield in front of him, his heart was like water.

In the past half a year, he led the army to kill I don't know how many Yellow Turban Army soldiers, and today it was the turn of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers to kill him, and he felt that this was normal. He never imagined that he would die right. Think about the Changshe battlefield in Yuzhou, the Runan battlefield, the Chen State battlefield, and the Dongjun battlefield in Yanzhou, I, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao, and their soldiers wantonly slaughtered the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, until the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark. At that time, he thought that he would have such a day after all.

On the battlefield, what is the difference between killing and being killed? (To be continued.) )
