They had clearly heard the sound of the enemy's hooves not far ahead. They had been running for fifteen minutes in anger, but the dead could not catch up. It was indeed not easy for two legs to catch up with four legs. The Yellow Turban soldiers 'physical strength had long been unable to keep up. Large groups of people were panting like windbreakers. If not for Sui Dayan's fierce reputation and the temptation of the horse, they would have sat down and quit long ago.
Sui Gu also felt uncomfortable. If he had more cavalrymen on his side, he would be able to get rid of these troublesome people and chase after them. But if that was the case, who would protect him?
Suddenly, they heard the sound of an arrow whistling. Countless torches were set up on both sides of their troops, and the flames soared into the sky for a few miles. They did not know how many people there were. Someone shouted,"The Yellow Turban thieves have fallen into a trap. Everyone, kill them. This is all military merit. Don't fall behind in picking up cheap things.”
"Quick, quick, retreat!" Sui Gu was shocked. There was actually someone who dared to ambush me, the great Yellow Turban Army's commander! There are really people who are not afraid of death. Don't they know that my Yellow Turban brothers have millions? Although it was claimed…
The " torches " on the left and right gradually moved over. When they could see clearly, they realized that something was wrong. The enemy soldiers were all wearing shiny armor that could glow in the night. Their long spears were stacked in layers, making people feel fear from the bottom of their bones.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who had never fought in a battle of adversity quickly showed their untrained side. They threw down their weapons and ran around shouting. Soon, the chaos spread from a small number of people to the entire army.
The enemies were approaching step by step in an orderly manner. The people behind them were still rushing forward, and the people in front could not retreat. Therefore, for the sake of their own survival, some people began to raise their swords at their brothers and comrades...
Yu Ai waited and waited, but he could not find any news about Sui Gu. Hence, he muttered to himself, was this big eye playing the trick of picking the tendons in his hands and feet again? Damn it, come back quickly so that I can sleep in peace.
However, what he received was the bad news of the defeated soldiers. Sui Shuai was surrounded and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Damn it, what should we do? Sui Gu had brought at least 20,000 to 30,000 men with him. If he went, there wouldn't be many people left in the camp who could fight.
I'm going all out! Yu Ai gritted his teeth and placed his hopes on the fact that the enemy's combat strength was not strong enough, and that they might panic when they saw reinforcements arriving, so that they could successfully rescue Sui Gu.
He ordered the last two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers to guard the camp, and Yu Ai led his men to hurry toward the ambush.'Why is Dayan so stupid? Using infantrymen to chase other cavalrymen, and they chased so far? How much stamina did the infantry have left? It would be strange if he didn't fall for it.
Sui Gu, who was surrounded in the center, was really helpless and miserable. Their retreat route was blocked by their own people. Regardless of the enemy's attack, their own subordinates were fighting each other. This…Could it be that I was the second canal commander to die in the Yellow Turban army?
It was really strange to say that these enemy troops did not take the opportunity to kill when they saw the Yellow Turban army in chaos. Instead, they surrounded them, did not attack, and did not retreat, as if they were waiting for something.
Suddenly, someone shouted from behind,""Yu Shuai has brought reinforcements. We are saved.”The morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers, who had been trapped for a long time, was greatly boosted. As if ignoring the enemy's spiritual equipment, they roared wildly and rushed toward the enemy's dense spear forest. Although the steel spears were incomparably sharp, the Yellow Turban soldiers were several times more numerous. In addition, reinforcements had arrived. For a time, the government troops were forced back by the Yellow Turban soldiers.
The long spears of the government troops were covered in a viscous liquid that was so red that it was almost purple. There were also some tube-like objects such as pig intestines, or one or two pieces of minced meat or internal organs on them…As long as they waved the steel spears in their hands, a living person would be cut open, and then fall down with a wail. Then, they would forcefully open their eyes that were blurred by the enemy's blood, wave their spears again, and withdraw their spears…
More and more people around him fell, and the enemy's few layers of iron-like defense could not be broken through. The hateful hundreds of cavalrymen on the periphery were still shooting arrows in their hands. They did not even need to aim. The enemy's infantry armor would never be penetrated by the bamboo arrows. At most, they would form a small jumping arrow and shoot at an unlucky Yellow Turban soldier...
The morale that had been reignited by a moment of vigor fell back to rock bottom. Everyone in the Yellow Turban army was panicking and desperately squeezed behind their companions to avoid coming into contact with the enemy's terrifying spear forest too early.
At this moment, he saw flames soaring into the sky in the direction of the stockade. The flames that were raised high seemed to be burning in front of his eyes. Such a huge fire could only mean one thing: the stockade had been breached!
His wife and children were inside! The Yellow Turban army was instantly in chaos. No one went to fight the cold spear formation."Abandon your weapons and I won't kill you. I guarantee that you won't die!" The Yellow Turban soldiers began to throw away their weapons and kneel on the ground. Yu Ai, who was not surrounded, saw that the situation was hopeless, so he could no longer care about Sui Gu, who was still alive, and fled in a hurry with his subordinates.
Zhang Feng and Huang Zhong commanded their subordinates to gather the surrendered prisoners. On the other hand, they ordered Wen Pin, who had attacked the stronghold from the back, to burn down the stronghold and return to Zhang Village with tens of thousands of old, weak, women, children, food, and the looted property of the previous three leaders.
"This battle is really enjoyable!" Huang Xu's excitement had yet to pass, and he chuckled as he patted the shoulder of a person wearing a general's armor in front of him, wanting the other party to share such a satisfying victory with him…Uh, this person seemed to be a good father. It's over, he's going to be scolded again.
Huang Zhong was surprisingly silent. Huang Xu stole a glance. His father seemed to be smiling?
"Hehe, you've done a good job luring the enemy. In the future, just pay attention to the hierarchy. It's fine if you scold you in front of so many subordinates.”
In this battle, Zhang Feng's plan was a great success. Huang Xu lured out the Yellow Turban soldiers who were holding fast, and then the heavy armored infantry surrounded them without attacking. When the second batch of Yellow Turban reinforcements arrived, they surrounded them while Wen Pin, who had been lurking for a long time, sneaked in from the water side of the stockade. They killed the last two thousand defenders, then set fire to the houses to confuse the Yellow Turban army. The whole plan was closely linked and almost flawless. Of course, it was for the Yellow Turban Army.
As for the casualties on their side, more than 300 of the 10,000 heavy infantrymen were seriously injured, all because they were pushed to the ground and trampled by their own people. The cavalry did not have a direct confrontation with the enemy, so there were no casualties. As for the surprise attack of the civil employment troops, they had to pass through the waterway and did not have armor, so 120 people died and 316 people were injured. However, in any case, they killed more than 10,000 enemies and surrendered 80,000 enemies. Some of them were killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers, some were trampled on, and some were taken away by Yu Ai. For Zhang Feng, such a result was a complete victory.
After the incident, Zhang Feng asked the court for a reward. The next month, there was an edict to seal Zhang Feng as the minister of Dongjun, Huang Zhong as the commander, Huang Xu and Wen hired as the governor and thief Cao under the door.
