Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led the cavalry and galloped along the official road. Furthermore, the city gates of the counties in Yingchuan County were wide open, so their speed was unexpectedly fast.
At the same time, Cao Cao's army met Huangfu Song's army.
Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng. Cao Teng had served four generations of emperors and was quite famous. During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of Marquis Feiting. He had been in the palace for more than 30 years and had never made any major mistakes. Moreover, he had been praised by the world for selecting talented people.
Therefore, although Cao Cao was the descendant of a eunuch, his background was much greater than Liu Bei's, and his connections in the court were needless to say.
When Huangfu Song heard that Cao Cao had arrived, he warmly welcomed him. Fortunately, Liu Bei was not here, or else he would feel sad.
Cao Cao dismounted and bowed to Huangfu Song.""Ming Gong, I led two thousand troops to help you defeat the moth bandits.”
Cao Cao knew how to grasp the opportunity. He knew Huangfu Song's ability to lead troops. Instead of saying that he was here to help the bandits, it was more like he was here to gain battle achievements and take a share of the loot. Moreover, there was no risk of losing.
Compared to Cao Cao, Sun Jian seemed a little stupid.
Sun Jian was confident in his bravery and foolishly charged at the front. Even if he won, he would suffer some injuries, and the price of losing was not worth it.
They were both taking part in the crusade against the rebels. Cao Cao did not need to bribe the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court, nor did he have to worry about being criticized by the aristocratic families. At the same time, he could also obtain military achievements, praise, and good reputation from the battle to eliminate the Yellow Turban.
At this moment, Cao Cao temporarily joined Huangfu Song and followed the army towards Yingchuan.
……
The weather was getting colder.
Most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were only wearing thin clothes.
A group of children who were only a few years old followed their mothers, trembling.
They needed food and clothes to survive. However, they could only get a bowl of wild vegetable soup a day.
The flowers and plants on the road had long been eaten clean. No matter how old the leaves were, they were all chewed up and swallowed into their stomachs.
Most people could only drink as much water as possible. Could water fill their stomachs? Definitely not, but it could be slowed down.
However, even so, they could only curse these damned moth thieves in their hearts, turning all their dissatisfaction and resentment into silent curses.
However, letting them escape? They didn't dare.
It was said that Huangfu Song's army was right behind them, and they were being held hostage by the Yellow Turbans. They could be considered Yellow Turbans, so they didn't know if Huangfu Song would kill Liang to take credit. Even if Huangfu Song didn't kill them, what about his generals?
Now that they were on Zhou Cheng's pirate ship, they could only walk down one path until the end.
The ox cart was filled with wooden shields and long poles. These were the weapons they used in battle.
The old, weak, women, and children had to participate in the battle. This was Zhou Cheng's order. If they were afraid of the battle and did not advance, the supervising team would directly kill them.
Moth thieves who would be punished by the heavens sooner or later.
However, even though he was cursing, he still had to participate in the battle. This was helplessness, the ruthlessness of the world.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng was riding a horse at the front of the army. His current mount had changed to a batch of black warhorses.
"Giddyup!"
A fast horse galloped over from the front. It was the light cavalry unit that had been sent out.
The rider stopped his horse by the side of the road. After getting off his horse, he immediately reported,"Marshal, Liu Bei's 2000 cavalry has already passed a certain county and is heading straight for the ferry.”
"Is the army advancing so fast?" Zhou Cheng frowned and asked.”
Without any hesitation, Zhou Cheng immediately ordered,""Speed up, hurry to the ferry.”
"Speed up the march!"
"Hurry up! Advance quickly!"
Under the whipping of the inspectors, the entire army sped up.
"All guards, follow me!"
After Zhou Cheng finished shouting, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and followed the hundred riders to the ferry.
At the same time.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had already arrived at the ferry with their troops.
At this moment, the ferry port was already crowded with ferrymen.
Pei Yuan Shao's work efficiency was quite high, he forcefully collected hundreds of boats of all sizes.
However, the Yellow Turban Army had more than 100,000 people, and these boats were still a little too few.
At the same time, He Man and Zhou Cang led the Tiger Troop Battalion and were ready to fight.
Before He Man and Zhou Cang arrived, Pei Yuan Shao and the Daybreak Cavalry had already dug many small holes in the ground.
Around the ferry, there were also a large number of barricades and antlers, hoping to slow down the enemy cavalry's attack.
Two thousand cavalry was not a small number, and they were all experienced and well-trained cavalry. The ones leading this cavalry were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
Thinking of the three of them charging into the formation, Pei Yuan Shao felt some lingering fear.
However, the only thing that could give Pei Yuan Shao confidence was the Dawn Cavalry that had less than a thousand cavalry left, as well as the 3000 men Tiger Battalion.
These were Zhou Cheng's two most elite troops, and they hoped to be able to withstand the charge of two thousand cavalry.
"Big brother, quickly give the order. I can't wait any longer!”
At this moment, Zhang Fei pinched his knuckles and made a crisp cracking sound.
Guan Yu stroked his two feet long beard without the slightest hint of impatience. Because in his eyes, the few thousand Yellow Turban soldiers at the ferry crossing could not withstand a single blow. A single charge from the cavalry would be enough to defeat them.
