In the sixth year of He Dynasty, on the 20th day of the seventh month, Sishi, we were northwest of Yingyang and on the west bank of Yingshui River.

A sharp golden sound sounded, and Xu Huang, the Han army's Hedong cavalry general, led his remaining six subordinates and retreated to the bank of Yingshui under the cover of arrows from behind.

Huangfusong's Sanhe Cavalry is divided into three divisions, namely the Hedong Cavalry Corps, the Henan Cavalry Corps and the Hanoi Cavalry Corps. These three places are in the Han Dynasty and Gyeonggi area, with a prosperous people and a lot of martial arts. The Han family often recruits brave men from these areas.

The core force that pacified the four directions. After these people returned home, they passed on these battlefield experiences to the children in their hometown. Their courage in Sanhe was unparalleled in the world.

Xu Huang is also such a member. He was only sixteen years old this year, but he has already learned the bow and horse battle formations with the veterans of the tribe. As soon as Huangfu Song's visitors arrived in Anyi County, Hedong, Xu Huang brought his own war horses.

He rushed to Anyi from his hometown of Yang County to join the army. Because he scored three hits in the cavalry shooting, he joined the Hedong Cavalry Corps as a cavalryman.

During the training period, he was promoted to the rank of corps commander for his bravery. Later, he followed Huangfu Song out of the customs and was promoted to the rank of general of the Hedong Cavalry Corps. The rank of general in the army was already a serious food-fighting official, while Xu Huang became a Han official from a Guizhou head.

It only took three months. This is the charm of war. As long as you dare to fight and fight, you can be made a general. No wonder war always attracts these heroes of the Han family to fight.

Xu Huang's Hedong Cavalry Corps has been fighting for a whole morning, and the company has broken through three small formations of the Runan Yellow Turbans on the opposite side. However, these Runan Yellow Turbans are not ordinary bandits. So far, not only the Han army's horses have suffered heavy casualties, but also the Han army themselves.

Already exhausted.

Huangfu Song, who was watching the formation and maneuvering from behind, found that the Hedong Cavalry Corps was already outnumbered, and immediately offered money for them to retreat to the bank of Yingshui River to rest.

After Xu Huang and his brothers retreated, they immediately jumped off the war horse and led his old friend to Yingshui. The war horse was also injured from running away. He buried his head and drank heavily. After drinking to feel better, he even faced Xu Huang naughtily.

A burst of spray.

Xu Huang laughed loudly, stroked his beloved horse, and turned his attention back to the battlefield ahead. In Xu Huang's field of vision, the frontline spearmen of both sides were already fighting together, and soldiers from both sides fell at every moment.

, broken troops could be seen everywhere retreating from the battlefield, and then more people arrived.

The noisy, unpleasant-smelling battlefield drowned out everyone's voices, and everyone was mechanically stabbing the enemy on the opposite side. As Xu Huang saw here, a group of ragged yellow scarf thieves had just broken through their own side's front line.

They were ambushed by the crossbowmen who were ambushing the Han soldiers. Their yellow clothes fell to the ground one after another like wheat being cut off. Then these crossbowmen took off the ring-headed knives from their waists and cut off the heads of these moth thieves.

He chopped it off and hung it on his waist.

Xu Huang squinted his eyes and felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he knew that this was war. In just three months of fighting, Xu Huang's psychological world had been destroyed and reshaped. The blood and fire of war had sharpened the sixteen-year-old Han official.

Rapidly growing numbness.

He looked back at the six remaining subordinates. At this time, they were so tired that they were sitting on the ground, saving their little energy.

Xu Huang sighed and said to them:

"Everyone, hurry up and rest. I'll wait for a while and we'll have to rush in again. Then you all should follow me and don't fall behind."

After listening to Xu Huang's words, the remaining six Han cavalrymen, except for one or two, sighed, the others nodded numbly, and then there was no other sound.

Xu Huang understood and only looked at his side's central formation again. That was where the coach Huangfu Song was. What decisions were being made there?

---------------

At this time, Huangfu Song, who was fighting in the chao chariot and looking down at the battlefield, was listening to the visitor talking about the military reports that had just been sent by the captains on the battlefield.

"Left Captain Bao Hong came to report that the battle between his troops and the thieves had reached three o'clock, and half of his eight formations had been defeated. The remaining battalions could only barely hold on to the corners of the formation, and they hope that the old commander will send troops to support them."

"Former military lieutenant Feng Fang came to report that our army must be the main force of thieves. The armor, clothing and equipment are not inferior to our army, but the number is three times that of our army. It is dangerous! I, Feng Fang, and my four thousand officers and men have already prepared

Prepare to die for the country. Our army will fight to the last man and hold the line of defense for the old commander! Feng Fang, a masterpiece."

After reading this letter, the visitor stopped for a moment and glanced at Huangfu Song, who was still paying attention to the battlefield. Seeing that he didn't respond, the visitor continued:

"Chun Yuqiong, the captain of the right army, came to report that our army had just engaged the thieves. From the captain to the general, they rushed to the front and killed six thieves in a row. They killed 20 thief Xiaoshuai Xiaorui and pushed the front line.

The first two hundred steps, but in order to prevent the lone army from deepening, I hope that the old commander will deploy Xia Mou's troops in the rear of our army and quickly move to the right side of our army to guard and help our army."

After reading the military report, Huangfu Song, who had been standing like a sculpture, finally said:

"I know this Chunyu Qiong. He is always brave. He really lived up to my expectations. Well done."

In fact, Huangfu Song also saw it on the chao chariot. On the entire front, only the right wing was moving forward, and the rest was in a state of anxiety. It can be seen that the right military academy commander did a good job.

Seeing Huangfu Song nodding, the visitor first glanced at the military report, hesitated, and continued:

"Xia Mou, the commander of the rear army, came to report: Chun Yuqiong, the captain of the right army, was arrogant and did not listen to his ministers. He went deep alone and his army was surrounded by thieves. The thieves include Liu Pi, Huang Shao and He Man, all of whom are brave.

The good warrior under his command was called a strong man. One person died and three others succeeded him. Our troops charged and killed him three times and were unable to save him. I hope that the old commander will send reinforcements quickly. If it is too late, I am afraid that the captain on the right will not be able to bear to say anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Song didn't react at all, but his hands holding the railings of the chariot had bulging veins, which showed how angry he really was.

This Chunyu Qiong did not succeed enough, but failed more than enough.

If he collapses there, the entire right wing of the defense line will collapse. Even if the battle is not a disastrous defeat, they will have to retreat to Yangdi. This is something Huangfu Song absolutely cannot accept.

But now there is only one preparation. What if the reinforcements come now and the Taishan bandits come out? Thinking of this, he looked at Zhu Jun's army on the other side. Two hours ago, he still asked Zhu Jun for help.

Reinforcements, but there is no movement on the other side yet. What on earth is Zhu Jun thinking?

----------------

On the east bank of Yingshui River, there is the original barrier group of Bocai tribe, and the tribe of Zhu Jun, the right middle man of the Han army.

What Huangfu Song didn't know was that this time Zhu Jun really planned to ignore the past grudges and serve the country with a public heart. As soon as he received Huangfu Song's letter asking for help, he planned to cross the river with his entire army.

But who would have expected that the Bocai tribe and Ma Yuanyi tribe, who had been huddled in Lianzhai for the past few days, would actually send troops to attack his camp at this time. Even the Runan Yellow Turbans in the west had a force of ten thousand people, holding the banner with the word "Wu". Crossing the water from the Seven Floating Bridges, Zhu Jun's westward passage has been blocked.

Now, even if Zhu Jun wants to rescue Huangfu Song, he can't.

At this time, outside the camp, the Henanxi Archer Battalion under Ma Yuanyi's command calmly and calmly fired arrows at the Han troops arrayed outside the camp.

This Henanxi archer battalion is the elite of Ma Yuanyi's command. Most of its battalion members are from the Funiu Mountains, Xiong'er Mountains, and Waifang Mountains. They are not afraid of death and are good at bows and arrows. This is Because this group was too unruly and unruly, Ma Yuanyi did not mobilize this group when he mobilized believers to enter Luoyang. But now they have become Ma Yuanyi's trump card.

The archer camp in western Henan, equipped with the hard bows of the Han army, has simply become a killing machine on the battlefield. They draw the bow, string it, aim, and fire very mechanically. In the eyes of these western Henan Shanliao, the Han soldiers on the opposite side are not the same as they used to hunt. There is no difference in the beasts they kill. And they are easier to kill than the beasts. After all, the beasts can run away, but these Han soldiers can only obey military discipline and stay on the defensive line.

Ma Yuanyi obviously exerted his strength in cooperating with the Runan Yellow Turban this time. Bundles of arrows from the rear were continuously sent to the front line for consumption. The archers from the Western Henan Archer Camp shot until their fingers bled and their arms were sore before they stopped.

Looking at the Han soldiers on the opposite side who were out in battle, lying on each other's back, dying, the arrows pierced their skin and pierced their bones, howling and waiting for death in the bushes full of arrow feathers.

This Han soldier who came out of camp to intercept the Yellow Turban Army was finished.

But this was still just a small episode on the battlefield on the east bank of Yingshui River. At this time, Zhu Jun's generals Sun Jian, Fu Xie, other commanders Zhang Chao, and all the cavalry troops from Henan and Hanoi went out to fight with Bo Cai and Ma Yuanyi's troops.

In this battle, Ma Yuanyi sent a total of 15,000 troops to attack the Han army directly. These were all Yellow Turban warriors trained by Ma Yuanyi. Although they were not familiar with the battle formation, they all had the courage to fight.

Ma Yuanyi himself led 10,000 troops to garrison Lianzhai, waiting for the results of the Pengtuo tribe on the west bank and the battlefield on the east bank. As long as one side wins, he will lead his own army to advance, and finally win this battle, providing Huang Tian with He has made great contributions to the great cause. But if he fails, then he will need to use these 10,000 people to pick up the remaining troops and continue to hold on to the stronghold. But in that case, it will only be a matter of time before the Ruying coalition is defeated.

So in other words, because of the early decisive battle of Peng Tuo's troops on the left bank, the Ruying Yellow Turban Allied Forces have actually started a decisive battle with the main force of the Han army.

The battle reached its climax from the very beginning. On one side were the Yellow Turbans, who were devout in their faith, risking their lives, and just wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous age for the poor. Soldiers and soldiers. They fought in the wilderness. Countless people used arrows, swords and even teeth to destroy the enemy.

It was when the battle between the two sides reached its peak that Yingchuan Bocai personally led an army of about 10,000 warriors from the right wing of the battlefield to the north of Zhu Jun's army. Because the Yellow Turbans of the former army attacked fiercely, the Han army's All the cavalry were attracted by him, and no one was wandering around the periphery, so when Bo Cai's tribe appeared behind Zhu Jun, holding high the six-section staff of Taiping Dao and flying the apricot-yellow flag, everyone in the Han army panicked.

At this moment, Zhu Jun, the right army's lieutenant general, showed his due ability as a commander. He pointed with his military commander at the sudden appearance of Bo Cai's tribe in the north, and said loudly to the warriors under his command:

"Only Yellow Turban Qukuibo has the reputation of being wise and brave. If we don't stand firm and defend our position, we will attack us from the north. This is to overwhelm our army in one fell swoop. What are your plans?"

There was a general in the formation who stood out with his fists clasped and said:

"Deputy Commander, we must now return to defend the rear wall. If there is a strong wall that refuses to defend, we will attack from the front and defend from the back. As long as we defeat the Yellow Turbans on the opposite side and then return for reinforcements, great things can still be done."

Zhu Jun saw that the person speaking was none other than Zheng Tai, the captain of the tent, who was thirty years old. He was a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang. His family was responsible for Gongyang Chunqiu and Zuo's biography. And this Zheng Tai was also a figure of the time. His family was a scholar of Confucian classics, but he had few talents. He was good at making friends with heroes and was good at martial arts. He was always the general used by Zhu Jun.

Historically, during the dictatorship of Dong Zhuo, Zheng Taihui conspired with He Yong and Xun You to kill Zhuo. He fled back to Yuan Shu and served as the governor of Yangzhou. He died on the way. His younger brother Zheng Hun served as the official of Cao Wei Jiuqing. His son's position The third Duke of Sima Jin and his six grandchildren were all Jiuqing. It can be said that this laid the foundation for the Xingyang Zheng family with five surnames and seven hopes in the Middle Ages.

Of course, none of that has happened, and this person in this life is still just a captain.

Zhu Jun heard what his beloved general said and said boldly:

"Since I, Zhu Jun, have been using the army, my ability to fight has always depended on the loyalty of my soldiers and my heart, and not on foreign objects. Why should I defend the stronghold and fight cowardly? At this moment, it is the time for heroes to fight hard. I intend to select an elite army to fight against the enemy. Our troops may seem to be brave and brave, but they are all defeated soldiers. When our troops come out, how can they not be in danger? Instead, they defend the city and increase the morale of the thieves."

After Zhu Jun finished speaking, Zheng Tai understood and asked for orders to fight.

Zhu Jun wasn't done yet, he wanted to boost morale again, so he smiled and said:

"The merits of this battle are your delicacies. Who wouldn't want to eat delicacies among mortals? How can I let you monopolize Gongye? However, you are brave and sharp, so I will reward you with this pioneer. Gongye, do your best. Come on, I'll wait for your success here."

Zheng Tai was full of energy, clasping his fists with his hands and taking orders to fight.

Here, Zheng Taiyuan is far away, and the armor of the basin leader is clanging. Over there, the decisive battle between Huangfu Song's army and Runan Pengtuo on the west bank of Yingshui River has also reached a critical stage.

Huangfusong didn't wait for Zhu Jun's reinforcements from the east bank for a long time, but in the end he used the last preparations at hand, the Central Military Academy Lieutenant Division, to press forward.

However, he did not send reinforcements to rescue the trapped right military captain Chun Yuqiong. Instead, he concentrated all his troops in the center and launched an attack on Peng Tuo's own army.

At the same time, the Sanhe Knights who were repairing by the Ying River gathered in the horns of their respective military officers. They had gathered on the left side of the battlefield, ready to launch an attack on the Runan Yellow Turban Army at any time.

To be honest, when it comes to combat effectiveness, the Yellow Turbans in the world rank first among the Yellow Turbans in Runan. Looking at history alone, they have been active in Yuzhou, the place where the Four Wars were fought, for more than ten years, whether in the era of Sun Jian, the era of Yuan Shu, the era of Liu Bei, or the era of Cao Cao

In this era, they can all have their own living space, which shows how extraordinary the Runan Yellow Turban is.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The Han troops who are fighting fiercely with the Runan Yellow Turbans at this time have the most say. It was not said that it was easy for them to defeat the Bocai tribe before, but it was also quite difficult. However, the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans had poor equipment and relied entirely on

The commander-in-chief of Bocai. To be honest, he was indeed a natural-born general. After making up for his lack of experience in early military formations, he became more sophisticated in using troops, and the Han army suffered a lot.

But this is different from when they fought against the Runan Yellow Turbans. Because the Runan Yellow Turbans had surrounded and annihilated the main force of the Runan Han army, they had captured a lot and had sufficient armor and weapons. Although their troops did not have the skill of soldiers, they had great military skills. The battle began.

They came to fight in formations, with swords and spears, without any skillful tactics. But this made the Han soldiers miserable.

As the saying goes, it is better to meet three fine dogs than a rough man.

Although Bocai's troops were flexible, they were not very lethal to the Han army. On the contrary, those like the Runan Yellow Turbans fought tough battles. It was either you or me who died. Paoze died tragically every moment. This really tested the nerves of the Han soldiers.

For example, at this moment, the Han soldiers from the right wing of General Zuo Zhonglang were surrounded by three strong generals from the Yellow Turbans of Runan, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, and He Man.

Faced with the crazy attack of the three strong generals, Chunyu Qiong's soldiers struggled to hold on. But for Chun Yuqiong, his captain, who was open-minded and able to win the hearts of soldiers, all his troops were willing to die for him. Otherwise, they would have faced three times the siege of the enemy.
