Chapter 38: Burning the Changsha (Part 2) 【Seeking Red
Update time:2012-09-26
Looking at the rolling Yellow Turban tents outside the city, surrounding Changshe City like rice dumplings, the momentum was amazing. Jia Rong couldn't help but sigh and mourned for the fate of the Yellow Turbans.
For the sake of his own fame, for the sake of ending the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible, and for the sake of Xiu'er who is waiting for him in the distance, he has to be cruel.
The defeat of the Yellow Turban soldiers started with the defeat at Changshe. After the Yellow Turbans surrounded the Han army in Changshe, the Han court was able to allocate its troops to defeat the Yellow Turban rebels across the country, thus leading to the Yellow Turban uprising. fail.
In fact, on the way to Changshe City, Jia Rong had already made a plan. After reading about the Three Kingdoms, he certainly knew how the Yellow Turbans who besieged Changshe failed. But now that he had implemented it himself, he couldn't bear it. After all, this is 150,000 living lives.
On the second day, in the evening, after careful consideration, Jia Rong came to the Chinese army's tent alone and conspired with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. The guarding soldiers outside the tent only heard the cheers of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun coming from inside. .
History is irreversible. Even if he didn't say it, Huangfu Song would come up with this plan sooner or later, which is the famous "Burning Changshe" in history.
Jia Rong also saw the way the Yellow Turban soldiers built their tents yesterday. If there was a fire, the Yellow Turban soldiers who had not undergone any training would be in chaos and flee in all directions. By then, the Han army would be victorious.
After hearing Jia Rong's plan, Huangfu Song laughed and said: "Zhiyuan's plan will definitely defeat the Yellow Turban rebels in one fell swoop. The country is very lucky, and the country is very lucky!"
Zhu Jun also echoed and said: "Zhiyuan should take the lead in defeating the thieves this time. If we can defeat the Yellow Turban rebels this time, I will definitely report the truth to the Holy One and ask for credit for Zhiyuan."
Jia Rong said modestly: "I just made a rough idea. Thanks to the two generals for their perfection. If we talk about the credit, the two generals take the lead. How dare I take the credit?"
Huangfusong admired Jia Rong's unsullied attitude in the face of praise and kept praising Jia Rong.
In fact, Jia Rong also kept saying sorry to Huangfu Song in his heart, because he had let his plan come out in advance and took away his credit. He was taking advantage of history.
Finally, the three of them made a plan, and when the time came, Huo broke through the Yellow Turbans and turned against the thieves.
Jia Rong returned to the army and did not mention the matter to the generals. Instead, he asked the generals to seize the time to train and prepare for the war that was coming soon. The generals did not have any objections to Jia Rong's order and took it seriously. Executed.
A few days later, Huangfu Song sent someone to deliver the news, agreeing to implement the plan at midnight today.
Jia Rong asked the soldiers to rest very early. Although the soldiers were confused, they did so one by one.
Just after the second watch, Jia Rong quietly woke up Hua Xiong and Liu Bei, and then told them about the upcoming battle with the Yellow Turbans.
Hua Xiong bowed to Jia Rong and said, "General, if you have orders, Hua Xiong will obey them without hesitation."
Liu Bei's eyes were filled with excitement. Today's battle will be the best opportunity for him to make contributions. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also eager to try.
Jia Rong asked several people to quietly wake up the soldiers and ambush them at the planned location with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and then waited quietly for changes in the war.
At the same time, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had led their soldiers to the Yellow Turban camp quietly. The soldiers carried kerosene, dry firewood and other flammable materials, and rows of archers aimed at the Yellow Turban camp, waiting for orders.
On a dark and windy night, when it was time to kill people, Zhu Jun gave an order, and all the archers drew their bows, loaded their arrows, and fired arrows at the Yellow Turban camp.
God was also very cooperative today. The strong wind kept roaring, and the fire took advantage of the wind and quickly spread to the place where the Yellow Turban soldiers lived. In just a short time, the fire spread to the sky.
The Yellow Turban soldiers did not have strict protective measures. It was not until the fire was ignited that the soldiers on night patrol discovered that the Han army was approaching the camp. The Yellow Turban soldiers on night patrol hurriedly knocked the gong in their hands to alert the army that an enemy was incoming.
The sleeping Yellow Turban soldiers were awakened by the sound of gongs. One by one, they stood up in a hurry. Some soldiers did not even have time to put on their clothes, and some soldiers even ran out of the tent without taking their weapons.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who had just stepped out of the camp were panicked when they saw the raging fire outside. They kept running and shouting, crowding each other and running away. Along the way, countless soldiers were killed and injured due to crowding and stampeding.
Bo Cai, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of the gong of the patrolling soldiers outside. Bo Cai was also considered a veteran on the battlefield. As long as during the war, Bo Cai never left his armor and weapons at his side.
Bo Cai hurriedly picked up his weapons and walked out of the camp. Seeing the huge fire burning in the tent, Bo Cai had no idea what to do. He had to constantly summon the panicked soldiers to break out of the camp, and gradually organized an army of thousands of people. Team.
Jia Rong, who was ambushing in the distance, saw a fire burning in the Yellow Turban camp, and led more than 4,000 cavalry who were already ready to go, and charged towards the Yellow Turban camp.
Jia Rong took the lead and rushed into the Yellow Turban camp, followed closely by Hua Xiong and Jiang Yu. Wherever the three of them went, there was no enemy. It was simply an invincible triangle formation.
With the flash of swords and shadows, rivers of blood flowed from the yellow turban soldiers killed.
The yellow turban soldiers killed by the Han army along the way cried for their fathers and called their mothers. Many of the yellow turban soldiers saw the fire outside and ran out of the barracks before they could pick up their weapons. So Jia Rong led the cavalry to charge. , and did not encounter any resistance.
Jia Rong, who was constantly killing the Yellow Turban soldiers, saw a team of about two thousand people rushing towards the outside of the camp under the shadow of fire in the distance, and Yellow Turban soldiers continued to join the team.
Jia Rong immediately led more than a thousand cavalry to attack this team, and ordered the remaining cavalry to continue to attack the Yellow Turban soldiers in other directions.
The Yellow Turban soldiers were frightened at this time. Seeing Jia Rong leading the cavalry to attack, many Yellow Turban soldiers had already abandoned their armor and dragged their troops away before the cavalry charged.
Bo Cai tried his best to organize his troops to block the charging cavalry, but no matter how powerful the infantry was, they could never compare to the same number of cavalry. The cavalry was the king in cold weapon warfare.
With just one charge, countless men and horses that Bocai had organized so hard were killed and wounded. Bocai led a team of several hundred people to flee far away.
Jia Rong ordered Hua Xiong behind him to immediately lead the cavalry to continue attacking the Yellow Turban soldiers' camp, and he led more than 300 original cavalrymen to kill in the direction where Bo Cai fled.
My intuition tells me that the Yellow Turban general who broke out just now is not an ordinary person. He can organize a force of more than 2,000 people in such a chaotic situation. This shows that this person has a high prestige among the Yellow Turban soldiers. He is definitely a leader. If a heavyweight among the Yellow Turban generals could be captured alive, it would be a great achievement.
No soldier does not want to receive military honors, even Jia Rong, a man who traveled from the future, is no exception.
A moment later, Jia Rong caught up with the yellow scarf general who had just led hundreds of people to break out of the encirclement. Jia Rong shouted: "Thieves, don't leave!" He raised his knife to kill him.
Taking advantage of the horse's momentum, the sword was very sharp, and the sword whizzed towards the yellow scarf general.
When the Yellow Turban general saw Jia Rong's sword coming, he was not to be outdone and faced Jia Rong on foot. When the two swords came into contact, sparks flew, which was very conspicuous in the dark night.
This sword made the Yellow Turban general retreat more than ten steps before he stopped his attack, which shows the power of this sword.
Jia Rong looked at the yellow turban general in surprise. With his powerful sword, he thought he could kill the yellow turban general with one strike. Unexpectedly, he was able to take the sword. Jia Rong glanced at him approvingly.
In extraordinary times, when extraordinary measures were adopted, Jia Rong signaled Jiang Yu behind him to kill the Yellow Turban general together; the more than 300 cavalry led by him also shouted to kill the hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers.
Li Li, Li Hu, and Li Shun formed a three-man battle formation and attacked the Yellow Turban soldiers. After so many battles, the three of them were no longer the young soldiers they were before. They were no better than the brave and skilled Qiang cavalry.
Difference.
In just a moment, the Yellow Turban soldiers were scattered by the cavalry, then separated and killed one by one.
Although this yellow scarf general was very brave, Jia Rong and Jiang Yu both fought against him on war horses, which gave them a lot of advantages. Moreover, Jiang Yu's horseback skills were very good. After dozens of rounds, the flaw was caught.
Jia Rong slashed his arm with a knife, and blood immediately flowed out like a fountain.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who were constantly being charged by the cavalry saw that their general was injured and could not come to support him because they themselves were always in danger of being killed.
Jiang Yu slashed at the Yellow Turban general with a sword. At this time, the sword in the Yellow Turban general's hand, which was exhausted, was knocked aside.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Jia Rong immediately signaled Jiang Yu not to kill the yellow scarf general, then got off his horse and went straight to capture the thieves general on foot.
Not surprisingly, Jia Rong captured the Yellow Turban general alive, ordered the cavalry to tie him up, put him on a war horse, and continued to kill the Yellow Turban soldiers elsewhere.
In this battle, the Yellow Turban soldiers abandoned their helmets and armor, and there were countless casualties. Among the 150,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, as many as 40,000 were killed or injured, and nearly 30,000 were captured. The rest fled in all directions. This battle can be said to be a great victory.
In fact, the victory of the Han army was very lucky. If the Yellow Turban soldiers were not mostly composed of a group of common people who had just put down their farming tools, and their organizational discipline was very poor, and when they saw the camp on fire, they fled in all directions, it would have been difficult for the Han army to win.
Victory, after all, the number of Yellow Turban soldiers was several times greater than that of the Han army.
The Han army pursued the defeated Yellow Turban rebels for more than ten miles before returning, seizing weapons, flags, and countless amounts of food and grass.
Huangfu Song saw Jia Rong returning with his army and went to greet him personally to show his respect. Jia Rong quickly got off his horse and saluted Huangfu Song.
After lifting Jia Rong up, Huangfusong looked suspiciously at a yellow scarf general behind Jia Rong who was tied up with five flowers and his face was covered with dust, and asked: "Who did Zhiyuan capture?"
Jia Rong reported truthfully: "I didn't know what I was doing. I just saw him leading the soldiers to flee when the Yellow Turban camp was on fire. I led the cavalry to catch up and capture him alive, and brought him back to the general to make a decision."
