Chapter 135: Dong Zhuo's Defeat (Part 2)
"Steady, don't mess up!"
Yan Zheng saw that the two thousand cavalry destroyed the formation of the two wings with ease, and couldn't help being very annoyed. He waved a long knife to command his subordinates to calm down, but it didn't have much effect.
The two thousand cavalry stabbed sharply into the formation of the yellow turban's two wings like two scimitars, and easily disrupted the formation of the left and right wings of the yellow turban with a force of destruction, causing the yellow turban to fall into chaos.
"Don't stop, don't love to fight, charge with all your strength." Li Jue had a calm face, instead of leading the cavalry to drive away the rebel army, he charged all the way to the central army. And Guo Bang is also not fond of fighting, the speed of the two iron cavalry is constantly increasing, and the distance is getting closer and closer. In the army formation of the Yellow Turban Thieves, two openings are abruptly pulled out, and Zhang Bao, who is watching the battle from the top of the city, is watching. There was a burst of fear.
"kill!"
The general flag of the Yellow Turban Bandits was right in front of them, and the two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry shouted in unison, and unexpectedly killed the Chinese army from the flanks. The yellow turban bandits in the army had a tight formation, so they were slightly hindered, but it had already caused panic and confusion in the yellow turban bandits' army.
Zhang Ji and Fan Chou looked at each other and ordered.
"forward!"
The Northern Army, which was advancing slowly in formation, heard the order and immediately accelerated forward. The yellow turban bandits saw this. In the open space between the two armies, the few remaining arrows clanked and shot at the shield. Only a few arrows were lucky enough to get into the gap between the shields, and a muffled groan came out. .
Eight thousand northern troops continued to advance, and the shield wall formed by the first row slammed into the yellow turban thieves in front of them fiercely, knocking the yellow turban thieves in the first line up and down, and then the spearmen, short swordmen and The knife and ax hand pushed forward layer by layer, killing the yellow scarf bandits, throwing away their troops and armor, crying for their father and mother.
Fan Chou stabbed one of the white-faced bandits to death with his own spear, and said excitedly, "Hurry up! Push forward with all your strength, and you must join forces with Zhiran, Guo Duo, and the two guys under the enemy's flag."
Two cavalry troops and 8,000 infantry marched forward firmly all the way. Countless yellow scarf thieves were killed and cried for their fathers and mothers. All of a sudden, the momentum of the officers and soldiers rose sharply. By the time the three armies met under the general's flag, Yan Zheng had already sneaked away, and the Yellow Turban Bandits were defeated directly.
After this battle, nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves were killed or injured, and the rest were either captured or fled. On the other hand, Zhang Bao also learned the trick of his younger brother Zhang Liang. He simply stayed behind closed doors, raised his exemption card, and did not dare to go out of the city to compete with Dong Zhuo.
Although Dong Zhuo won this big victory and broke 50,000 thieves, since Zhang Bao couldn't avoid the battle, Dong Zhuo couldn't drive his troops to attack the city. After all, his men and horses were all precious and he couldn't afford to lose them, so it cost him two in Quyang City. The moon is surrounded but not conquered.
But after receiving Huangfusong's good news, Dong Zhuo became restless.
"Old man Huangfu is really amazing. The two fires are like divine help. The first one burned up the food and grass of the Yellow Turban Bandits, and the second one burned down Bocai's 100,000 troops!"
Guo Duo clicked his tongue in admiration, and couldn't help feeling a little admiration for this famous court general.
Dong Zhuo snorted and slammed his fist on the table. Huangfu Song defeated the enemy and made great achievements. On the other hand, he couldn't take down the yellow scarf for a long time, and looked angrily at Li Jue who had a strange look on his side.
"Zhiran, do you have any good strategies for breaking the thieves, and let Zhang Bao come to fight?"
Li Jue shook his head lightly: "This man Zhang Bao looks like an unknown general. Our army may send more soldiers to shout and scold him, or maybe the exciting Zhang Bao will fight."
Hearing Li Jue, the most important general under his command, say that, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to pick dozens of soldiers with loud voices from the army, and cursed Zhang Bao with vulgar words all day long.
But Zhang Bao could bear it. After hearing the yelling outside the city, he remained unmoved and stayed motionless in Quyang City. Anyway, when he raised his troops a few months ago, he robbed countless grains and grasses from various counties in Jizhou. Even though there are still 70,000 troops in the city, it can be supplied in a short while.
At this time, a key figure in the Yellow Turban Army walked into Zhang Liang's residence.
"Brother! When did you come and how did you come to Guangzong City? Why don't you stay in Julu well? The three of us occupy a city each and serve as horns for each other. The guards and officers will suffer."
"If XX doesn't come, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers won't suffer, but your second brother will suffer a lot."
There was only one person wearing a yellow robe, with a handsome face and his hair was tied up with a yellow scarf, and a powerful general in armor and a knife followed him like a child. These two people were exactly the same. The second of the three giants of the Yellow Turban Army, General Tiangong, Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher, and Zhang Liang, a general of Rengong.
Zhang Jiao walked in front with his hands behind his back, while Zhang Liang followed closely behind. They didn't look like two brothers, but more like father and son.
Walking in front of the huge map of Jizhou, Zhang Jiao stopped and put his hands behind his back, staring at the map in front of him, while Zhang Liang also stood still, wondering what Zhang Jiao would say next.
"Third brother and second brother are facing a lot of pressure in Quyang. Dong Zhuo defeated his 50,000 army in the first battle. Now that the two armies are at a stalemate, it is natural that a certain one will lead the army to help."
Zhang Liang frowned: "But big brother, Dong Thief's subordinates are all the elite soldiers of the Northern Army. They are all elite soldiers trained by Lu Zhi's old man. He also has thousands of cavalry, and he is always invincible in the battle. Our subordinates are all infantry. , How to compete with Dong Thief? Besides, Quyang City is strong and there is enough food and grass, the second brother only needs to support it for a while, and it will naturally turn the corner."
Zhang Jiao sighed softly, touched the map lightly with his fingers, and moved to the edge, and the south of Jizhou was naturally the northernmost point of Yuzhou.
"Third brother, do you know that old man Huangfu has already set fire to Bocai's 100,000 troops in Changshe?"
Zhang Liang was taken aback when he heard the words: "What, Bocai is one of the disciples that the elder brother admires the most, how could that be?"
Zhang Jiao sighed softly: "It's a pity that Mancheng is in Nanyang and has 200,000 troops. If he can divide his troops to rescue Bocai, how can the 100,000 troops be in danger of being overthrown?"
Zhang Liang's words were blocked, he hesitated and said: "Brother, isn't Mancheng also going to contend with Zhu Jun's troops in Wancheng? Mancheng also has his difficulties."
Zhang Jiao turned around, staring closely at Zhang Liang with a pair of deep eyes, which made his heart tremble.
"Well, the reason why the thirty-six Fang Qushuai was set up at the beginning was that one would come up one after another and quote each other, but the Thirty-six Fang only knew how to protect itself. As the eldest brother, can I still watch your second brother be besieged?"
