"What about Huang Hansheng?"

In the righteous army camp on the bank of Xiangshui, Cao Cao and others came with reinforcements, but they were all infantry troops, and there was no Huang Hansheng as he thought.

Cao Cao understood what Huang Hansheng's bravery meant on the battlefield, as long as there were no characters of the same level, or three or five slightly inferior characters, then such fierce generals would do whatever they wanted on the battlefield.

If you want to go, you can fight, with such a character, you can guarantee that you will not die on the battlefield, so Cao Cao attaches great importance to this person, in addition, this is also one of the key figures of the Jingzhou Shi clan and the local heroes of Nanyang.

"Captain Cao, General Huang ordered us to come to help, but we don't know where he is."

Looking at the sky, it is gradually approaching dawn, Cao Cao has no choice, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely attack at dawn, he is now available for more than 10,000 people, the number of Yellow Turban cavalry, the scouts have been detected, almost 10,000 cavalry, this is a great threat force, a little careless, he may be killed here.

With the same number of infantry and cavalry, the odds of victory are not great, but they can't run away, and once they escape, without the protection of the barracks, then they will die without a place to be buried.

"Order, all the soldiers of the army will be rewarded with a piece of gold, which will be issued after the war, and it will be guaranteed in the name of my Cao Cao!"

Saying this, Cao Cao turned to look at Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, and said the key point, both of them also swore as a guarantee, at this time they can only be rewarded, morale is low, time is in a hurry, and it is difficult to boost morale without rewarding.

Yan Jin is a gold coin minted in the Northern Regions, worth 10,000 yuan, and Yan Jin wants to exchange, if you take five baht to exchange, it is estimated that it will be multiple, if the pure gold is exchanged, it will have to be discounted by three points, and now there are about 15,000 soldiers in the whole army, which is basically 2,000 gold, which is 20,000 yuan.

20,000 yuan, even if it is several times more, Nanjun is worth this money, Huangfu Song will not reimburse, Liu Biao will also reimburse, but now it is just for a victory, but it costs such a big price, but Cao Cao also has to spend it.

In the name of the Yellow Turban, the upper and lower officials are not afraid, but now that the morale is low, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they are not afraid to defeat the enemy, so this money must be spent.

If Huangfu Song is in charge, then you don't have to spend this money, but the three of them have to spend it, because although they can look down on the Yellow Turban, but the Yellow Turban really won the battle.

Several of them, there is a famous general's posture, he Cao Cao, in the Central Plains against the Yellow Turban, but in the end he lacked the actual record of leading the soldiers and horses and achieving a big victory, they all know that it was Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun who fought, although he Cao Cao made a contribution, but he was not the main force.

Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, this is also a famous general, but he is a "running general" who has been repeatedly defeated by the Yellow Turban, if it is not for the luck of running fast, it is impossible to say that Sun Jian's head has been placed on the head of Jiangling City to dry, and it will not play a role in boosting morale.

Yuan Shu standing on the left, the sister-in-law of the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth world, the reputation of the Yuan family is not fake, and Yuan Shu also has the ability, but Yuan Shu itself lacks prestige, you must know that in addition to the basic quality of the famous general, he relies on his reputation to encourage his morale or deter the enemy.

Fame is both a strategic resource and a tactical resource, and these people have no reputation and no undue courage, so they can only scatter coins.

Others don't know Cao Cao, but Sun Xin does, and he knows some of Cao Cao's tricks, such as some idioms related to Cao Cao, which are well known as Mei quenching thirst, avoiding illness and avoiding medicine, cutting beards and abandoning robes, tasting like chicken ribs, soldiers and nobles are fast, the flag is silent, the wall is clear, and so on.

Such a figure, which has been used in Chinese history for thousands of years, is also rare, and Sun Xin has to pay attention to it, and he dare not pay attention to it.

Now Cao Cao's combat style is also very stable, according to the information obtained by Sun Xin, Cao Cao fought in the Central Plains and the Yellow Turban last year, he was able to send scouts to dozens of miles away, not to be imprudent, and when engaged, he likes to show the enemy weak, and is good at the tactics of Tian Ji horse racing.

For example, this attack was originally prepared for a night attack, and then besieged Xiangyang City with superior military strength, but it was discovered by Cao Cao early, so naturally the night attack could not be completed, and it could only be a tough battle.

Xiangyang City also has to fight with all its might, for this reason, but also to contain these Han troops outside the city, Sun Xin had to come in person, his banner has not been removed, that is, to tell the Han army, the main force of the Yellow Turban is here, in order to confuse, another army was sent to cross the Han River, overnight detour to attack Xiangyang.

……

Sun Zhimu sent Sun Yong to disperse with the big and small officials to prepare for the battle, he went down the city wall, first took off Yu She's bloody head, and ordered people to spread the word that the Han army in the city was still resisting, the street battle was not easy to fight, and it was also the most casualty, and it was best to break the enemy's will to fight.

After ordering someone to pass the head, Sun Zhi came to the table again, took out a piece of swallow paper, laid it, and studied the ink.

Yan paper, is the thing of the northern region, from the Yan country workshop, and the previous Cai Hou paper is different, Yan paper is the Han princess after the sealing of the Yan country, specially ordered people to develop, with the texture of tough, smooth as jade, not moth-eaten and not rotten, ink rhyme ever-changing characteristics, once it came out, it was touted by the literati and ink writers, with Yan paper inscription painting, the ink rhyme is clear, the layers are clear, the backbone is inclusive, the momentum is beautiful, thick but not muddy, light but not gray, its words and paintings, leaping on the paper, the spirit is flying, flying eyes.

Swallow paper has good ink wetting, durability and aging resistance, not easy to change color, swallow paper has the characteristics of toughness and moistening, light but not slippery, white and dense, pure texture, non-destructive rubbing and folding, strong ink wetting, etc., and has unique penetration and lubrication properties.

Writing and painting "ink is divided into five colors," that is, a stroke is completed, the shade is dark, the texture is visible, the ink rhyme is clear, the layers are clear, the moths are less, and the life is long, so even if the price is high, but it has also become the world's common paper, after all, no matter how expensive, it is far less than the cloth.

Although the yellow scarf was born poor, but after occupying Nanjun, it was also developed, and it was natural to buy paper, and the rice paper here was left by Huangfu Song, and Huang Fu Song left a lot of property and armor.

Sun Zhi wrote: "Xiangyang has been broken, the siege of Nanyang is imminent, the troops and horses are quickly dispatched to the north, Huangfu Song has fled, the complete work is not completed, the Han army will definitely attack with all its strength, it is advisable to come quickly." ”

Immediately dried it, and then handed it out: "Order someone to send it to Jiangling." ”

This time to the north, it seems that the whole army is coming, in fact, Jiangling still left more than 10,000 infantry troops, and now Sun Zhi is ordering these people to go north quickly, he also knows very well that although he has been defeated, but the enemy general has not been captured, then it will soon make a comeback, around Xiangyang, there will soon be a big battle, if this battle is won, the gate of Jingzhou will be closed, and then whether to go east or west, they have a lot of leeway.

Outside the city, about two hours ago, as Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang arrived at the predetermined position one after another, the Yellow Turban War Cavalry of more than 10,000 people had crossed two tributaries and appeared two miles south of Cao Cao's camp.

First of all, people lined up to be vigilant, the guards and teams sat on the ground, lit a fire on the spot to get water for a meal, rested, Sun Xin's camp is located in the confluence of the two tributaries of the Han River, turning to the place, the northwest, south, and northeast are all water flows, and Sun Xin is hanging on the bank of the water river at this time, facing the Han army camp led by Cao Cao and others.

In the camp, Cao Cao was lying on the six-foot-high earthen wall at this time looking at the yellow scarf in the south, mainly to observe the enemy general Sun Xin, and at this time watched the yellow turban Qu Shuai Sun Xin sitting by the fire in armor and barbecuing wheat cakes, eating hot soup with it.

Looking at the Yellow Turban War Cavalry, the detachment is resting, and the cavalry is scattered, with more than 100 horsemen in each formation, like a pack of wolves crouching waiting for the fighters.

"This person should not be underestimated, and he has the style of a general."

Cao Cao sighed with emotion at this time, and instructed Li Dianle beside him to enter: "Our army camp is strong, and lead the Han River as a trench, the enemy army is all cavalry, it is difficult to capture, stay until midnight, he will attack the fortification, morale has been drained and tired and sleepy, at that time, our army ambush the army, under the attack will be able to break the enemy." ”

Cao Cao naturally knew that Huang Zhong had not appeared, he must have been ambushed, and he would definitely appear when it was critical, Huang Zhong's bravery, he had also seen it, and he still trusted it very much, so at this time, he was not very nervous.

Sun Xin was talking with Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang at this time: "Our army cut thousands of bundles of reeds last night, and there is no need to pity this thing, and all of them are used to fill their trenches.

I will lead the main camp to attack the fortification, and General Pei will stay in the camp to rest his strength, no matter what the battle situation is, your troops will crucify this place and hold the back of our army. ”

Pei Yuanshao surrendered his order, Sun Xin looked at Zhou Cang again, and said, "General Zhou led his troops to make a feint. ”

These two people have to use it, it is really very little yellow scarf, Sun Xin also has to take it, like Zhou Cang, the big defeat under Jiangling City some time ago, if it is changed, I am afraid it will be cut, like Pei Yuanshao, dare to complain, I am afraid it will be cut early.

It's just that the Yellow Turban talents are scarce, although these two people are not the kind of peerless generals who are not brave enough to be brave, but they can also be called fierce generals on the battlefield, as long as the two of them take their subordinates, they can go on more than ten rounds in the hands of generals such as Huang Zhong, and this kind of character is already one in a thousand or even one in a thousand talents.

Seeing that these two people should respond, Sun Xin stopped talking, then looked at his subordinates, and said, "The middle battalion will take the lead and fill in the enemy's camp trenches." ”

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, under the order of General Sun Xin, at this time the army began to attack, the drummers got up and held the waist drum and gently beat the drum, and the drummers from near and far got up to beat the drum.

In the sound of drums, some of the Yellow Turban Zhan rode off their horses, turned into an infantry army, and pushed the wheelbarrow boxcar slowly, in addition to the bamboo shed, there are stacked reed bundles on the boxcar, each bundle of reeds is about 100 catties.

There were also reeds tied into larger bundles, almost shoulder-high, pushed and rolled directly by the sergeant.

At this time, Cao Cao and others looked at the Yellow Turban Army that began to attack in the camp, and their expressions were unnatural, this Yellow Turban general Sun Xin was really brave, and he was so bold, his own side was in the camp, they were all cavalry, and they did not gather the crowd to defend themselves, but abandoned their horses to press up to fight, this is not to attack the strong with weak?

At this time, Pei Yuanshao detached a battalion of cavalry to respond noisily, and looked around vigilantly, especially the possible Han army ambush in this lush reed.

At this time, Huang Zhong led people to lurk in the reeds, as the line of sight gradually brightened, he had seen the battle in front of him, looking at the yellow turban ride in front of him, if he was fighting at this time, then he would definitely be able to destroy this yellow turban horse, but it had no impact on the general trend, this yellow scarf of more than a thousand horses, that is, it was destroyed, for the yellow turban war horse, it was not a big problem, this was not a good time, so Huang Zhong could only let this yellow turban ride pass in front of him.

They are only two or three miles apart, and they are now killed, and the Yellow Turban sees that the situation is not good, and the Yellow Turban general who attacked the camp can take people to escape, waiting to pack up the soldiers and horses, and he can make a comeback, but his opportunity will be lost.

Because at this time, they are lurking in the reeds, once they are revealed, they are just a discrete formation of charging and attacking, as for maintaining the formation and launching the charge, if there is this military discipline and training, Huang Zhong would have led people out earlier, so why squat here and wait for the opportunity?

The degree of training is urgently needed time to cultivate, even if he is a master with ten thousand unsuitable bravery, if it is an undertrained war horse, he can't fight ten against one, and it is the limit of his martial arts to be able to fight three with one, so Huang Zhong needs to wait for the opportunity.

As the Yellow Turban Army approached the camp for thirty steps, the crossbowmen in the Han army camp shot alternately, and the arrows rained, but at this time, although the Yellow Turban dismounted, it did not take off its armor, and in the face of the iron-clad self-defense army, the power of the bow and arrow was insufficient, and it only had the ability to harass, and the killing was limited.

In the middle camp sequence, at this time, Sun Xin personally led the team, holding a shield in front of him, and in the process of marching together, he kept passing the sergeant who fell from the arrow, and the big shield in his hand oscillated one after another, which made Sun Xin tremble, but he could only grit his teeth and step on the drum to advance.

He is the main general, is a role model, his Yellow Turban cavalry, although well-equipped, personal quality has been improved by him very high, but what performance on the battlefield, the battle under Jiangling City some time ago made him very clear.

It is useless, I can only say this, and it also makes him understand how important a qualified military general is, so at this time, he can't retreat, he has to take the lead, countless eyes around him are staring at him, if he retreats, although the Yellow Turban Cavalry under his command will not collapse, but the military spirit will definitely drop a few points.

He, the main general, is facing the arrows of the Han army, and his subordinates are naturally emboldened, and their morale is naturally strong, so even if there is danger, Sun Xin also knows what to do and what not to do!

Bundles of reeds were knocked down and filled the trenches outside the camp, and the battle formation of the Yellow Turban Army stood more than ten paces away from the camp.

Both sides understood that this was a war of life and death, and if the trenches were not filled, then the army would not be able to approach the barracks, and it would not be able to pose a threat to the Han army; And the Han army also understands that if the Yellow Turban fills the trench, then the defense of the camp will immediately loosen a lot, and the threat of the Yellow Turban will be much greater, so both sides will not allow the other party to survive to complete the task at this time!
