"Report!"
"Reporting to my lord, the government troops and the Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Changshe are gathering quickly.”An Illusion God Guard acted as a scout and had already set off to scout the enemy's situation before dawn. At this moment, the sky had just brightened. Seeing Li Qing get up, he immediately came to report.
Li Qing was slightly startled, but he immediately reacted. This was definitely a war between the two armies that was about to erupt.
Xue Rengui immediately stepped forward and said,""My lord, this is a heaven-sent opportunity. Once the battle between the two sides begins, we will immediately attack from the rear and we will definitely be able to achieve success.”
The idea was not bad, but Li Qing did not agree immediately.
It should be known that the entire Yellow Turban Army of Changshe had a total of 200,000 people, while the official army only had a mere 50,000. Once he did this, the Yellow Turban Army only needed to divide half of its strength, and it was definitely not something his 3,000-plus people could compete with.
After thinking for a while, Li Qing said," There's no need to rush to send troops. Pass down my order. Everyone, secretly hide behind the enemy's formation. Without my order, do not act rashly."”
"Here!" The Illusion God Guard immediately turned around and left.
"Rengui, although our troops are excellent, we are too few in number. Moreover, the newly incorporated Yellow Turban Army has not yet been baptized by the flames of war. We are outnumbered by the enemy, so we cannot be careless.”
"Your plan is not bad, but you should think deeper. What if we wait for the official army and the Yellow Turban Army to start the war first?”
"If the government army wins, we can take the opportunity to ambush them.”
"If the government army is defeated, we can immediately send troops to rescue them and reverse the situation.”
In this way, regardless of the outcome, Li Qing's credit would definitely not escape. Why not?
"My lord is wise, I am ashamed!" Xue Rengui immediately admired Li Qing and secretly said that he had indeed followed the right person.
Even Mu Guiying looked at Li Qing with a strange light in her eyes.
Soon, everyone had arrived at their designated positions. This time, Li Qing personally acted as a scout, leading Xue Rengui and a few Illusion God Guards to observe the situation so that they could understand the enemy's situation and make the most accurate judgment.
After all, he could not easily lose all of his assets.
As soon as he came up, he saw that both sides were fighting. Swords and spears were exchanged, and they were fighting happily.
However, this situation only lasted for about ten rounds. A general of the government army was defeated and was captured alive by the Yellow Turban army.
Seeing this, the other general immediately rode out of the formation to rescue them. However, the Yellow Turban soldiers seemed to have expected this. The other general followed suit. After a fight, the general was caught alive.
For a moment, the morale of the Yellow Turban army was high, but the morale of the government army was low.
"The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens shall be established!"
"The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens shall be established!"
"Official Destroyer Dog!"
……
As the morale of the Yellow Turban Army soared, the leading Earth Duke General Zhang Bao and Ren Duke General Zhang Liang immediately seized the opportunity to attack.
"Kill them!"
The Yellow Turban Army, which blotted out the sky and covered the sun, shouted slogans and charged toward the government troops.
"Pass on my orders. Get into formation and face the enemy!”Huangfu Song shouted.
"Brother Huangfu, you can't do that. Today's morale is low, so we should retreat immediately and plan ahead.”Zhu Xiong hurriedly shouted.
"Two generals have been captured alive, and now you want to retreat? If you don't even dare to fight today, won't the Yellow Turban rebels be even more arrogant?”Huangfu Song was furious.
"Huangfu Song, you're acting on impulse. I don't agree!”
The two generals had different opinions, and there was still no conclusion to their argument.
However, the Yellow Turban soldiers did not care about this. They had already rushed into the front of the official army and started a chaotic battle with their many times more soldiers.
Not good!
Li Qing, who was watching the battle on the mountain, was shocked. The government troops were doomed. They had to think of a way to salvage the situation. Otherwise, even if the government troops could retreat, they would suffer heavy losses.
When the time came, there would be fewer soldiers and fewer soldiers under his command, which would be a huge disadvantage for him.
"Changshe is the last line of defense outside Tiger Cage Pass, and this battle is even more crucial. If we can't turn the tide and get credit for the rescue, do we really have to wait for Cao Mengde to lead his troops to attack?”
In an instant, Li Qing's mind was spinning as he weighed the pros and cons.
"Listen up!"
"The Yellow Turban rebels have succeeded for a while, and the official army is in a difficult situation. This is a good opportunity for us to make contributions. Everyone, follow me and kill the Yellow Turban army's retreat.”
"Kill them!"
Without hesitation, Li Qing gave the order to charge.
"Ah…"
"Government troops, why are there government troops behind us?”
"Run, run…"
At the rear of the Yellow Turban Army were mostly weak soldiers. They were not strong in combat and were mostly used to clean up the battlefield.
Xue Rengui led the black-armored cavalry, and wherever they passed, blood flowed like a river.
Mu Guiying wasn't willing to fall behind and led three thousand cavalry to attack.
The sudden appearance of the government troops at the rear caused chaos in the rear of the Yellow Turban army. Many Yellow Turban soldiers did not even dare to resist and frantically scattered forward.
The news quickly reached the Yellow Turban Commander-in-chief. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang looked at each other and said,""How many people are there?"
"The situation is too chaotic, and I can't see clearly. I only know that the other side is all cavalry, and looking at the flag of the middle army, it's Li Qing who killed General Cheng Yuanzhi.”The messenger immediately said.
"You came just in time. Previously, the scouts said that Li Qing only had a few hundred men. Now, if we break the heavens, we can count his five thousand men. With such a small number of troops, he dares to attack the rear of our army. He's simply courting death.”Zhang Liang said angrily.
