Zhang Tian had read the history of the Battle of Changshe. He knew that it was Huangfu Song who took advantage of the dark night to order his soldiers to sneak into the rebel army and set fire to the camp.
Huangfu Song took advantage of the situation to beat drums and shout to attack, and the rebel army retreated in chaos.
Along the way, they were intercepted by Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao's army, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
Huangfu Song, Zhu Wei, and Cao Cao joined forces to pursue the victory. Bo Cai returned to fight again, but was defeated again. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers died.
The historical records of the Battle of Changshe were still very detailed. The reason why Zhang Tian remembered it was because he had once imitated it and set fire to the camp. At that time, he had severely damaged a military organization in the Golden Triangle.
After knowing the result, Zhang Tian decided to test Zhao Yun to see if this general had any other tricks besides courage.
Zhao Yun looked at the map carefully and asked about Li Yu's situation in detail. After a while, she said,"
"My lord, can we consider a fire attack? Li Yu said that the Yellow Turban Army's tents were built on grass.”
"Haha, exactly." Hearing that Zhao Yun had thought of a good way to attack with fire, Zhang Tian could not help but laugh in satisfaction.
Seeing that Zhang Tian agreed with her suggestion, Zhao Yun smiled. But then he said,
"It's just that if we want to launch a fire attack, we need to borrow the wind direction. I just don't know what the wind direction is.”
"Who cares about the direction of the wind? We just need to rely on the speed of our warhorses and charge forward.
When the time comes, regardless of whether it's the southeast wind or the northwest wind, as long as the tent is set on fire, we'll be able to charge in and inflict heavy losses on the Yellow Turban Army.”
Zhang Tian waved his hand, ready to attack.
Zhang Tian did not make this decision casually. He had thought about it many times and rehearsed it in his mind.
In history, Huangfu Song was the Yellow Turban Army who relied on the wind to set fire. He had not made a move yet, probably because he was waiting for the wind.
At the same time, Zhang Tian didn't believe that Cao Aman and his brother couldn't tell that even Zhao Yun could think of a solution. They should be waiting for the wind to blow.
However, it was different for him.
First of all, he had cavalry. Once he launched an attack, he had absolute speed.
Secondly, he didn't care whether it was the imperial court's army or the Yellow Turban Army. In his opinion, they would all be his opponents in the future. He just had to set them on fire. He didn't have to worry so much.
Since Zhang Tian had made his decision, Zhao Yun could only nod and obey.
He turned around and looked at everyone." Alright, everyone, hurry up and eat something and have a good sleep. We'll be showing off at night."”
After arranging for everyone to eat and sleep, Zhang Tian did not stay idle. Together with Zhao Yun and Li Yu, they began to look for fire oil.
Without the help of the wind, kerosene was a necessity.
Fortunately, although everyone in the Song Family Village had left, there were some things that could not be moved away. For example, every family had leftover kerosene, so a search was enough.
After everything was ready, Zhang Tian asked Li Yu to leave and gather more information. Then, he leaned against a door and fell asleep.
The sky began to darken. When it was evening, Zhang Tian was woken up by the Brocade Guard. The group began to approach the Changshe Village from the Song Village.
The city walls of Changshe were brightly lit. From time to time, the City Defense Army could be seen patrolling back and forth.
This was already the 21st day of the defense. Whether it was the general or the ordinary soldiers, they all felt extremely tired.
He didn't dare to relax at all, and his nerves were always tense.
He could no longer eat and drink on time like before. After his rations were limited, the burden on his body became greater and greater, as if he was on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown at any time.
A square-faced general with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes was standing at the foot of the city wall, looking into the distance.
Every time a soldier passed by him, he would respectfully address him as General.
This person was one of the generals sent by the imperial court to suppress and exterminate the Yellow Turban Army. He was now the Changshe Guard General, Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song's words were true. His uncle Huangfu Gui was a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the three generals of Liangzhou. His father, Huangfu Jie, was the prefect of Yanmen Prefecture and had been a border general for a long time.
When Huangfu Song was young, he had a good understanding of poetry and books. He was familiar with archery and horses. He was one of the pillars of the military in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Huangfu Song is kind-hearted and cautious, loyal to his duty, resourceful and courageous.
Ping yellow turban thief credit to the great, led jizhou animal husbandry when the court request jizhou one year land tax exemption, the people praised.
During his term of office, he had made statements, remonstrances, or made contributions more than 500 times. Every time, he had written it personally and destroyed the draft without revealing it at all.
In the army, he sympathized with the soldiers and won the hearts of the people. Every time the troops stopped and set up camp, he would wait for the camp curtains to be fixed before returning to his tent.
He only ate after all the soldiers had finished eating.
Some of his subordinates accepted bribes, but Huangfu Song did not blame them. Instead, he gave them money and goods. The officials were ashamed, and some even committed suicide.
Huangfu Song returned to the court to be a corporal, no guests stayed in the door, then people called him Yang, one after another to surrender.
It could be said that Huangfu Song was a good general of the court at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a pillar of support.
He might not be as capable as some dukes, but his loyalty to the Han Dynasty was something few could compare to.
Huangfu Song was originally very pleased with himself when he was ordered to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army. Under the leadership of General Lu Zhi, he killed his way here and indeed won a few battles.
This time, because Zhu Xi had fought with the Yellow Turban army and failed, he was forced to retreat to Changshe.
Even if he retreated to the Changshe, Huangfu Song was still full of confidence.
Facing tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, he had no fear at all.
This was not only because the Yellow Turban Army lacked training and combat effectiveness, but also because the enemy generals did not know how to set up formations. This could be seen from the fact that the enemy had set up camp on grass.
Huangfu Song had already thought about using fire to attack more than ten times in his heart. He did not take any action and just waited for the east wind to blow.
After all, the soldiers in the city were tired and there were only a few of them. If they rushed out rashly, they might not be able to start a fire and might even be surrounded.
Moreover, the wind direction was not right. Once the fire was set, it might even burn him.
Out of all sorts of concerns, Huangfu Song did not move, nor did he tell anyone about his method. He just waited quietly, like a cheetah hunting for its prey. He did not move but moved like lightning.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him. Another middle-aged man in a general's uniform walked over. He brought a few personal attendants behind Huangfu Song.
