Chapter 143: Conspiracy
It was a noisy night, and more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops shouted and killed into Qin Feng's retreating army.
However, Qin Feng's troops kept in mind the commander's orders, and did not keep silent or light torches.
In this way, the Yellow Turban soldiers holding torches are particularly eye-catching.
An officer and soldier soldier named Erdan saw a yellow turban pawn holding a torch shining around and searching for him. He hurriedly motioned to his companions to keep quiet, and quietly touched himself.
Because the Yellow Turban pawn was holding a torch, he could see very clearly in front of him, and the rest of the place was even darker. Therefore, he did not notice the arrival of the second egg.
I saw Erdan poke the spear out and stab it into the chest of the Yellow Turban pawn. The next moment, he hurriedly stepped on the torch, and the place fell into darkness again.
Seeing this, Erdan's companion's eyes lit up, and after a while, the yellow scarf began to fall continuously.
The silent war here touched the inspiration of others, and for a while, the assassination of the Yellow Turban was widely spread among Qin Feng's troops.
In the roar, the addition of archers caused the Yellow Turban to suffer heavy losses for a while.
Seeing this, Qin Feng was overjoyed in his heart, I don't know that this assassination operation was invented by that kid first, if it is a big victory in the future, he will definitely be rewarded.
On the other hand, Cheng Yuanzhi, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, first noticed that the situation was wrong, he looked at the moon in the sky that was obscured by black clouds, and said: "General Zhang, there is no moonlight tonight, our army is attacking with torches, and it is very vulnerable to attack, so our army is in a very disadvantageous situation. ”
Zhang Liang had successfully captured Qin Feng's camp, and he was waiting for the encounter to kill Qin Feng's military horses. At this time, he also saw that the situation was wrong, so he said: "In this case, the whole army extinguishes the torches and continues the pursuit." ”
As a result, more than 100,000 torches were extinguished at once, and the land was completely plunged into darkness.
Because Qin Feng had previously ordered that the soldiers were not allowed to make a sound, the people who spoke out were killed by soldiers and horses around them. Therefore, the Yellow Turban extinguished the torch and ran wildly, and the two armies soon overlapped and caught together. And this, for various reasons, the two sides do not know each other.
簌簌, 簌簌.......
A Yellow Turban pawn groped his way through the darkness, and the only sound of rapid movement was in the darkness. This movement made him very uneasy, and suddenly he saw a dark shadow appear next to him and said, "Xiaobao, is it you?" ”
The shadow froze for a moment.
"Xiaobao, is that you?" The Yellow Turban pawn continued to ask questions in fear.
I saw the black shadow slowly walking over.
The Yellow Turban pawn hesitated, not knowing if it was a friendly army, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. "Little treasure......."
Poof~, what responded to him was a sharp spear.
The Yellow Turban pawn slowly fell, and the black shadow saw the yellow turban on his head, and said secretly: "Sure enough, it's the Yellow Turban Army, General Qin Feng is really clever, and he knew that this situation would occur early on, so he didn't let us make a noise and continued to kill the enemy to ......." ”
Time passed little by little, there were no torches to illuminate, and the figures around were longing. The Yellow Turban soldiers inevitably asked aloud, but many of them were greeted with sharp spears.
The Yellow Turbans in the dark began to die in large numbers again, attracting the attention of the Yellow Turban officers. Soon, the matter was told where Zhang Liang was.
"Abominable, really abominable. This Qin Feng is really cunning. Zhang Liang was very angry when he heard this.
"General, I want to give orders to the whole army immediately, keep silent and don't talk anymore." Cheng Yuanzhi hurriedly spoke.
Zhang Liang said depressedly: "That's the only way!" ”
As a result, the silent orders came and went one after another, and more than 100,000 yellow scarves were no longer spoken.
Nearly 200,000 troops on both sides were mixed together, but they were silent, which was really weird, and it really opened a precedent for a major battle. It is certain that there are no ancients before, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have any more people in the future.
Zhang Liang felt that he was restrained everywhere in the war with Qin Feng, and there was nowhere to vent.
Qin Feng was secretly happy.
This greatly improved the survival rate of his soldiers and horses at night. When the day dawned, Zhang Liang wanted to kill Qin Feng's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in an instant, which was simply a fantasy.
Time passed, and dawn finally came.
Qin Feng, who had been leading the cavalry in front, was happy to find that because the Yellow Turban had experienced two sneak attacks at night, they were a little afraid of night battles, and their feet were subconsciously slow, so all his troops went to the front.
"Cavalry assault, infantry retreat at full speed!"
Under the command of Qin Feng, two thousand cavalry came out together, and the Yellow Turban Army was scattered all over the sky, and it was unable to resist for a while, and it was killed.
Zhang Liang was furious and immediately gathered his troops and horses in pursuit.
However, Qin Feng's infantry already had plenty of time.
So when Qin Feng led the cavalry to the high slope, his soldiers and horses had all arrived at the designated position.
This is a highland with uprooted terrain, and the low-lying areas below, mostly sand and gravel, were the course of the Zhanghe River many years ago.
Xun Yu smiled slightly and said: "General, this is here, General Cao Cao is on the bank of the Zhanghe River a mile away, this place is an ancient river, as long as General Cao releases water, more than 100,000 yellow turbans can be destroyed in an instant." ”
Qin Feng immediately gave the order, and after the seven cannons rang out, he smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, you don't have to chase after you, just here, the master will have a grand funeral for you." ”
Zhang Liang rode forward, and all his troops entered the ancient river channel, chasing for two days, always inexplicably suffering, which made him angry, and shouted: "Qin Zijin, just this hillside of more than ten meters, you want to fight against my more than 100,000 troops." ”
"This hillside will not be completed, but soon, something will be buried for you."
"The way into the tongue, the generals, the array."
Under the command of Zhang Liang, the scattered Yellow Turban Army was immediately neatly arranged into eleven phalanxes.
"The front army is attacking!"
Under Zhang Liang's order, the 30,000 people in front began to move towards the high slope. The sound of 30,000 people marching in unison rumbled, and the footsteps seemed to be stepping on the heartbeat, which made the chest suffocate.
The time has passed, and it stands to reason that the water should be coming, and even if it can't be reached, there will be some traces on this high slope. But Qin Feng looked into the distance, and saw the outline of the Zhanghe River, without the slightest trace. His heart sank, and he said, "What is Cao Cao doing, didn't he say last night that he was ready?" ”
Huangfu Song, Xun Yu, and Gao Shun all frowned. Seeing that the enemy's 30,000 men are about to enter the distance of the charge, why can't the water come yet!
A mile away, on the bank of the Zhanghe River. Here, because of the topography, the flow of the Zhanghe River is slow. There is sand and gravel in the water, which is deposited at a slow rate, and the sedimentation of thousands of years has caused the riverbed to continue to rise. However, there are many people who live here on water, and they have been strengthening the river embankment for generations. The height of the Zhanghe River here greatly exceeds the ground level.
"General, the cannon is sounding, break the embankment!" A Yulin officer reminded.
The hard work of thousands of people in the past two days has made the shore of several hundred meters on this side very thin and thin. At a distance of hundreds of meters, every other meter there is an iron cable that passes through the water for several meters and is connected to the horses, and the parts of the connection are gurgling and bubbling. As long as you pull it away together, you can break the embankment in an instant.
Cao Cao looked north from the highest point, the 30,000-strong phalanx was already very small, but some outlines could be seen somewhat.
"Report ...... General, General Qin personally met the enemy's ....... "The horse that ran out earlier returned.
"Oh? Where is he? Cao Cao hurriedly asked.
"It's on the high slope, and when I came back, I was talking to Zhang Liang."
Cao Cao's face became more and more gloomy when he heard this, and he stopped talking.
Seeing that his face was not good, Tanma cautiously retreated.
"General, when will the levee break?" Officer Yulin asked again.
"Do what you are told, you are in the palace, that's how you behave?" Cao Cao reprimanded with a dark face.
The Yulin officer was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly retreated to the side. When I came, Bixia said, everything is up to you, you can do whatever you say.
These Yulin troops are the descendants of Emperor Ling, and they only listen to Cao Cao outside, even if they have disobeyed the orders of the commander Qin Feng now, they will not care.
"Qin Feng......." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.
