The most important part of this plan was to ambush the camp.
If they failed, the rations of the government troops would be plundered by the Yellow Turban army.
Without food, all plans would become empty talk, and the government troops would even be in danger of being completely wiped out.
However, to make the plan seem more realistic, the number of soldiers guarding the camp could not be too many.
Thus, such a heavy responsibility could only be carried out by Chu Feng and his 18 Scarlet Blood Cavalry and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.
From Guangzong to Lower Quyang, a round trip would take about five days.
Five days later, Zhang Bao led 50,000 troops south to support Guangzong.
However, they were ambushed by Lu Zhi's army in front of a valley five miles north of Guangzong City and suffered heavy losses.
Zhang Bao had no choice but to withdraw his army into the valley and defend against it.
Lu Zhi found a few soldiers to put on the clothes and armor of the Yellow Turban bandits, smeared the blood of the Yellow Turban soldiers on their bodies, disguised as Yellow Turban, and rushed to Guangzong.
"We have urgent military news. Please open the city gates.”
Outside the north gate of Guangzong, the official soldiers disguised as Yellow Turbans shouted loudly.
When the general saw his comrades covered in blood, although he did not suspect their identities, he did not open the city gate to let them in. Instead, he shouted,"Please wait a moment. I will send someone to inform the great teacher.”
"You have to be fast. If you're late, it'll be too late.”The official soldier disguised as a Yellow Turban shouted loudly.
The general didn't dare to delay and quickly sent someone to inform Zhang Jiao.
Soon, Zhang Jiao and the others in Taoist robes came to the city wall. When they saw the Yellow Turban soldiers covered in blood, they frowned and asked,""The government troops have set up heavy ambushes outside the four gates. How did you get in?”
The official soldier disguised as a Yellow Turban said loudly,""Reporting to Great Virtuous Teacher, General Earth Duke has sent two teams to escort the rations, but both of them have failed. The general was worried that there was not enough food in the Great Virtuous Teacher City, so he personally escorted the food here.
Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by the government troops five miles north of Guangzong City and suffered heavy losses. Now they were trapped in the valley and could not advance or retreat.
He sent us to break out of the encirclement and ask for help from the great teacher. There were thousands of people who broke out of the encirclement, but only a few of us managed to break out.
General Di Gong is in danger now, please send troops to rescue him.”
"Second brother came personally?"
Zhang Jiao's face darkened.
"Big brother, let me lead the troops to save second brother.”
An armored general standing beside Zhang Jiao said in a deep voice.
This person was none other than General Ren Gong Zhang Liang.
"Alright, Third Brother, quickly lead 50,000 troops to reinforce them. However, he had to be careful on the road to prevent falling into the trap of the government troops.”Zhang Jiao thought for a while and said.
"Please rest assured, Big Brother. I will definitely attack from both sides with Second Brother and defeat the government army.”Zhang Liang said confidently.
"Wait!"
Zhang Jiao was still worried." Third brother, you should stay here. Leave the task of rescuing second brother to the other canal marshals."”
He could guess that the government troops besieging his second brother were most likely to lure him out of the city to fight.
Perhaps the government troops had already set up a heavy ambush along the way.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother is in danger. How can I be at ease if I let others go?”Zhang Liang said anxiously.
"There's no rush. You have a more important mission.”
A cold light flashed in Zhang Jiao's eyes.
"What mission?" Zhang Liang asked.
Zhang Jiao didn't answer immediately. Instead, he had a canal commander lead the 50,000-strong army and set off with the few officials disguised as Yellow Turban soldiers.
After he left, Zhang Jiao said,""I'm worried that this is a plot by the government troops. If the reinforcements were ambushed, their camp would be empty. If you lead the troops to attack the official camp and burn their rations, you can defeat the official army in one fell swoop.
If they hadn't been ambushed, the reinforcements would have still been able to pincer attack his second brother's army from the front and back, taking down the government troops in one fell swoop.”
"I see." Zhang Liang was enlightened.
The 50,000-strong reinforcement army had been rushing forward, but when they were two miles away from the valley, they were ambushed by Liu Bei's army and suffered heavy losses.
The messenger quickly sent the battle report back to Guangzong. After hearing it, Zhang Jiao said coldly,"Good job, Lu Zhi. You actually dared to use this move on me. Hmph, do you really think I'm a fool?
Third brother, quickly lead 40,000 troops to raid the official camp and burn their rations as quickly as possible.”
"Yes!"
Zhang Liang received the order and led the 40,000 soldiers out of the city to the west.
The government troops that were originally lying in ambush had already retreated to the camp.
Zhang Liang's army did not encounter any obstacles and arrived at the camp.
Such a smooth process made Zhang Liang feel a little uneasy.
However, now that the arrow was on the bow, he had no choice but to shoot. He had no way out.
The military camp was brightly lit, and there seemed to be many sentries standing guard.
"Archers, shoot!"
With Zhang Liang's order, countless archers drew their bows and nocked their arrows, launching an attack on the camp.
The rain of arrows poured down, and there seemed to be a scream.
After a few rounds of arrows, Zhang Liang drew his saber and shouted,""Kill them!"
Forty thousand Yellow Turban soldiers charged into the camp.
"Not good, we've fallen into a trap. Retreat quickly."
When Zhang Liang saw the straw men on the ground, his expression changed drastically and he quickly ordered them to retreat.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A wave of fire arrows tore through the air and rained down.
The campsite was instantly set ablaze.
Countless Yellow Turban soldiers were burned alive.
The Yellow Turban soldiers fled in panic, and countless people were trampled to death in the chaos.
"Kill them!"
Chu Feng led Dian Wei, the 18 Scarlet Blood Cavalry, and the 800 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry out of the darkness.
As for the thousands of soldiers, they stayed behind to protect Guo Jia and Diao Chan.
Chu Feng brandished the Instant Spear and swept away several Yellow Turban soldiers with one strike.
The Eighteen Blood Red Cavalry followed behind him, brandishing their sabers and slashing to their heart's content. No one was a match for them.
The 800 Snow Dragon Cavalry were dressed in white robes and silver armor. They looked exceptionally dazzling under the light.
The spear danced, and no one could block it.
Almost instantly, they broke the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Zhang Liang roared hysterically. He didn't know how many soldiers were lying in ambush and didn't dare to fight.
Chu Feng followed the voice and the general flag and charged straight at Zhang Liang.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang gripped the saber in his hand tightly and asked in a deep voice,"Who are you?"
He had never seen this person in front of him after fighting with the government army for so long.
Before this, Lu Zhi had been using the strategy of besieging Guangzong. Most likely, it was after this person arrived that Lu Zhi changed his strategy.
"I am Chu Feng of the Northern Lands. Are you Zhang Jiao?”
Chu Feng asked in a deep voice.
He didn't know Zhang Jiao and his brothers.
"I am General Ren Gong, Zhang Liang."
Zhang Liang said in a deep voice, but his heart was shocked. The young man in front of him was actually the famous Sima Chu?
"Zhang Liang?"
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment and said," Zhang Jiao is really cautious. However, killing you isn't bad either.”
After saying that, he raised his spear and charged over.
Zhang Liang shouted and brandished his saber.
Puchi!
With a shake of his spear, the spear shot out like a dragon and instantly pierced through Zhang Liang's chest.
That bit of strength of his was ultimately still not enough.
