Chapter 127: Returning People's Minds
With the sound of the gold ringing in the yellow turban army, many yellow turban thieves seemed to be liberated, they breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran away. Some turned around with disbelief, only to see that Bo Zi slowly retreated the flag.
The first ascending sharp soldiers who were attacking the city were the worst. They managed to occupy a place on the city wall and were fighting with the Han army, but they had to retreat after hearing the sound of Mingjin.
One of the warriors who ascended first feigned a knife, turned around and wanted to grab the ladder, but several yellow turban thieves around kept fighting with him. Before the Han army rushed up, the yellow turban thieves themselves began to fight among themselves.
After all, the ladder is here, and whoever goes down first will survive. This is not the time to be polite and respect the old and the young.
Seeing the yellow turban thieves retreating after hearing the sound of gold, the officers and soldiers on the top of the city immediately became excited, chasing the yellow turban thieves on the top of the city and screaming to kill them. Pushed up and down, screamed and fell into a meat paste.
Many of the Yellow Turban thieves were directly pushed down from the top of the city by the officers and soldiers, and the rest of them climbed down the ladder.
"The yellow turban is back!"
"The thief retreated, we won!"
The Han army on the top of the city suddenly cheered, and Bocai retreated. Naturally, Cao Cao could not continue to entangle with him with a weak army. He immediately turned around and waved the flag. Seeing this, the cavalry under his command were still a little bit eager to fight, but Xiahou Dun set an example , took the lead in commanding the cavalry to kill the yellow turban thieves.
Seeing this, the generals of the Yuzhou Army also restrained their troops and horses one after another, and arranged for the elite soldiers to be cut off, while the rest of the army retreated immediately, fighting and retreating to get rid of the entanglement of the Yellow Turban bandits.
And Bocai was not in the mood to pester Cao Cao anymore. Today he was complacent and wanted to command his Yellow Turbans to take down Changshe City with a last-ditch effort, but in the end they fell short, which made him lose confidence.
Bo Cai sat blankly in the handsome camp, his former high-spirited expression had long since disappeared, his back was hunched, and he had an old-fashioned expression, and he looked nothing like a yellow-turban commander commanding an army of 100,000 , is simply an old farmer.
Perhaps, should he really go to Zhang Mancheng?
This thought flashed in my mind again. After the fire, there was not even a single grain and grass in the East Day Camp, and the remaining grain and grass were enough for four days. If you tighten your belt, you can survive for seven or eight days. live.
But tightening the belt can last for a few more days, but you can't expect hungry soldiers to attack the city, right? There is a saying that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. If he is hungry and has no strength, a Han army may really be able to count as ten.
Bo Cai fell into deep thought, but at this moment a sound of footsteps came in from outside the tent, which woke up Bo Cai who was thinking.
"Brother." The one who walked in was none other than Bo Qun. He was the only one in the entire army who could enter the handsome camp without notification. After all, he was Bo Cai's clan brother.
Seeing Bo Qun, Bo Cai managed to force a smile: "Come on, sit down."
As soon as Bo Qun sat on the ground, he immediately said: "Brother, the food and grass can still be used for four days, do you want to continue to attack the city tomorrow?"
Bo Cai was silent for a while, then raised his head: "What do you think should be done?"
Bo Qun scratched his head: "Although we have a large number of people, but the officers and soldiers should cooperate internally and externally, I am afraid it will be difficult to win in a hurry."
Bo Cai sighed: "In that case, let's go to Nanyang."
Bo Qun was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to show it. Instead, he stood up and cupped his hands slightly: "So, order the soldiers to prepare and set off tomorrow."
Bo Cai waved his hand. At this time, his long-term experience in leading troops and fighting reminded him after all.
"No, as soon as possible!"
Bo Cai suddenly stood up with a serious face: "I have to clean up tonight, so I must hurry."
If the army withdraws during the day, the officers and soldiers will definitely attack afterwards. Once the team is stretched and the officers and soldiers launch an assault, the team will inevitably collapse. At that time, only a few will be killed, and there will be too many who will run away directly, so it must not Let the officers and soldiers notice.
"yes!"
Bo Qun walked out of the handsome camp, and within a hundred steps, he bumped into Huang Shao head-on.
"How about it, what did Bo Shuai say?"
Huang Shao grabbed Bo Qun's wrist. In fact, he felt like a cat scratching in his heart. He had long wanted to find out what Bo Cai said, but he witnessed Bo Cai beheading He Man with his own eyes that day. Normally, he would not dare to approach Bo Cai. I'm afraid that one day this handsome man will want his own head.
But Bo Qun is different, he is a younger brother of Bo Cai, and his relationship with Bo Cai is naturally much closer than his own.
When Bo Qun saw Huang Shao, he breathed out lightly: "Brother just gave the order to clean up the clothes overnight and retreat immediately within two hours."
Huang Shao was also overjoyed: "Great, so I'll go back and tell the soldiers to clean up and withdraw immediately."
In fact, since the food and grass in the East Day Camp were burned, many of the Yellow Turbans had lost their fighting spirit, and these days they suffered repeated setbacks, so that there were many deserters among the Yellow Turbans, and the number of them was increasing.
After besieging Changsha and fighting with Liu Ye, Cao Cao and other officers and soldiers, there are now a total of 100,000 Yellow Turbans, less than half of them.
When Huang Shao and Bo Qun returned to the army, they immediately ordered their subordinates to clean up their belongings overnight and prepare to withdraw their troops.
After hearing the news, the yellow turban thieves were pleasantly surprised. After all, they were repeatedly frustrated under the city of Changshe. It is needless to say the surprise in my heart that I ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Bocai's military order was in line with the military situation, so everyone in the yellow scarves was excited, and the speed of cleaning up the things was very fast, but the army was packing up, and there was a burst of restlessness, and the surrounding Cao Cao's headquarters and Changshe City felt that something was wrong. The whistle quickly reported to the city.
In Changshe City, Huangfusong's residence.
Huangfusong had already taken off his iron armor a long time ago, he was wearing a blanket, and on the table was an oil lamp, he was holding a scroll of bamboo slips, which was a volume of military books.
"General Lang, I will report something at the end!"
Hearing the voice from outside, Huangfu Song frowned: "Come in."
The two doors of the room were suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cool wind rushed in. Sun Duo's tall figure in iron armor broke into the room, and the lamps on the table fluttered suddenly, blown by the strong wind that Sun Duo brought in. .
Huangfu Song didn't let go of the scroll, he didn't look sideways: "What is it, you broke in in the middle of the night?"
Sun Duo swallowed his saliva and panted heavily: "General Lang, there are some changes in the Yellow Turban barracks outside the city!"
"What?"
