Twenty-five, cut off the water source and lead the enemy
Ye Feng did not stay any longer, ordered his horses to be prepared, strode out, found the three Zhao Yuns who were being harassed impatiently by the sword drinkers, and set off together.
In less than half a moment, more than a hundred cavalrymen sat upright on their horses, in uniform order. The number was small but the momentum was not weak. Zhao Yun was really awesome in leading the troops!
Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and led the cavalry away. Drinking swords, looking at the horses from the southeast, northwest, and far away, everyone was envious. But handsome guy Zhao didn't teach riding skills, alas!
It’s just that there are too few war horses. They only got about 30 horses from looting along the way. Including the scouts, Ye Feng’s army only has 132 horses in total. They have to queue up if they want to join the war horses...
This powerful unit with obvious mobility and assault capability has become a pain in Ye Feng's heart! He cannot afford it, cannot get it, and it is extremely difficult to develop it into a main battle unit.
Regular cavalry requires three riders per person to adapt to long-distance raids, and the worst cavalry requires at least 7,000 gold to be fully armed.
Ye Feng is not without money, but good steel is used on the blade. After all, Zhonghun Pavilion is more important! Ten thousand cavalry cannot exchange for a god like Zhao Yun, Yan Liangwen, Chou Tian Feng.
This kind of short-distance and quick attack was enough for one person to ride alone. Not long after, he saw the Yellow Turban Army camp from a distance. Although it was slightly scattered, it was not comparable to the common ones. The leader was probably a famous historical general.
Fortunately, the camp only had simple fences and no antlers to keep the horses away. The wood should have been used to build ladders, and cooking fires also consumed a lot of equipment. The Yellow Turban Army was still in short supply of equipment and supplies, especially in the Han Dynasty where ordnance control was strict and pig iron was not available.
Buying and selling is prohibited, so many Yellow Turban warriors can only use farm tools as weapons at first, and gradually switch to swords and guns. Only the Yellow Turban warriors are fully armed.
Ye Feng and others were not many in number, and they were approaching with curses along the way. The yellow scarf soldiers guarding the gate did not take it seriously. They thought it was some channel commander who came to inspect, and they were diligently preparing to ask.
Less than fifty steps away from the camp gate, Ye Feng suddenly pointed his sword forward and urged his horse to speed up. The defenders were stunned and at a loss, and died in the blink of an eye.
The entire team formed an assault formation, with Zhao Yun, Ye Feng, Wen Chou and three others forming the vanguard of the triangle. Yan Liang cut off the rear! It was like a spear piercing into a haystack, leaving a blood line about ten meters wide like a whirlwind.
Zhao Zilong's white horse and silver spear took the lead, dividing the waves. Ye Fengwen Chou supported the two wings, and Yan Liang clashed with the left and right to rescue. There was no resistance to the forward momentum...! The Yellow Turban Army was cut in half like water separated by a stern, and everyone was stunned.
There was a huge chaos, but I don’t know how many enemies there were, shouting: Enemy attack, enemy attack...! Like headless flies running around. Suddenly people were trampling on each other, and the generals of the Yellow Turban Army did not know the situation, but they could not contain it for a moment.
live!
Ye Feng and the others didn't rush in stupidly. After entering the camp, they launched an assault at the other camp gate. They penetrated half of the camp in less than half an hour. They broke through the camp gate before the Yellow Turban generals could organize the soldiers.
Only a hundred cavalrymen left without hesitation, leaving behind the frightened and angry Yellow Turban Army, but they were unable to pursue them.
There was no damage in the battle, and only three or five soldiers were slightly injured. Although the exact number of casualties of the Yellow Turban Army is not known, its morale has been greatly damaged.
Wen Chou shouted that he wanted to kill again, and even Yan Liang was eager to try. Ye Feng had no choice but to shout: "A Chou, shut up! Don't say any more!"
You can't feel it. Although the soldiers are not dead, they are very tired. When your blood is boiling, you don't feel it. Once you calm down, you will feel your heart pounding and your whole body sore. The battle just now was a great success, but if you go back again
I'm afraid not even a single soldier can be brought out!
Not long after, the scouts reported to the military advisor, and everyone rode back to the camp to rest.
The Yellow Turban Army must have been careful after this battle. It is impossible to think of such a sudden attack. Let's go back and discuss it. It would be a waste to let Tian Feng's nonsense brain go unused!
Tian Feng's newly found camp turned out to be a large mountain, belonging to a branch of the Taihang Mountains. Ye Feng and others came from the north and did not know that there was a mountain forty or fifty miles to the south. The Yellow Turban Army was almost everywhere and did not dare to go too far.
Sentinel….
Tian Feng's face was beaming with joy, as if his wife had given him a fat boy. When he saw Ye Feng and his entourage walking over quickly, he said, "My lord, I am very happy!"
"Uh...! What am I so happy about?" You all know about Ling'er, but the game has not started to open the marriage system yet. What am I so happy about?
"My Lord is so happy! This mountain is called Pengshan, and there is a small river in the mountain that leads directly to the south of Zhongqiu City!"
"..." It's normal for there to be a river on the mountain, but the river cannot flow down the river. Ye Feng looked at Tian Feng in confusion.
"We only need to block the river at a gentle place, and the rebel army will definitely be short of water, so we can save the day! Even if the enemy comes to attack, we can defend the high mountains and attack them from above. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, we will not be afraid!"
Ye Feng's eyes gleamed when he heard this, "Take me quickly to watch!"
There is indeed a small river between the two mountains. The river is quite wide, seven or eight feet long, but the water is very shallow, only about calf-deep. It meanders down. Three or four miles along the river, there is another small mountain protruding.
, the river was blocked by the mountain wall and turned to one side. Ye Feng was really happy when he saw it, and immediately ordered people to build a stronghold at a dangerous place and then dig out the mountain wall.
Thousands of people worked together for an afternoon to cut through the mountain wall, and the river flowed down. The original river channel gradually dried up, and the small river that originally flowed to Zhongqiu was diverted to the direction of Zanhuang. It was done!
The water in the river is going down very fast. As expected, the Yellow Turban Army will find that there is no water in the river in the evening. Drinking water is the lifeblood of the river. They must send people to find out the reason. Thinking of this, Ye Feng ordered Zhao Yun to lead people to inspect a ten-mile area, and Yan Liang led a thousand crossbows.
If you want to lay an ambush, it is best to kill all the incoming enemies. Even if you cannot kill them all, try to eliminate the enemy forces as much as possible, but be careful to preserve your strength, do not fight head-on, and retreat as soon as possible! He also ordered Tian Feng to arrange to dig as many traps as possible.
The generals followed the order and left. As expected, Zhao Yun killed the small group of enemies that the fourth and fifth teams were searching for. The enemy also knew that the water source was cut off. Another hour passed and large groups of enemy troops were dispatched, but still
Those who were killed by Zhao Yunyanliang suffered heavy losses and fled with their heads in their hands.
The Yellow Turban Army was really anxious. The water level was getting lower and lower, and the soldiers were almost running out of water. At nightfall, more than 10,000 troops came out, all of them were elite Yellow Turbans. Yan Liang followed Ye Feng's instructions and fought while retreating.
At this moment, the trap dug by Tian Feng was successful. The enemy troops went up the mountain retrogradely, and it was dark and they could not see the ground clearly. A large number of Yellow Turbans fell into the trap. The trap was hastily dug and was not very lethal. However, due to the large number, the Yellow Turbans did not die much.
, but there are countless injured...
Yan Liang also commanded the sergeants to push down the boulders from time to time. The Yellow Turban army came with great momentum, but had no choice but to retreat miserably. This battle was impossible to fight, and it was simply a loss of life.
The enemy troops had retreated, and Ye Feng ordered him to continue digging traps all night long, not focusing on quantity but quality, to consolidate the defense line.
After working for most of the night, the soldiers were ordered to rest in shifts and strengthen their vigilance. Ye Feng fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when it was still dark and bright, Ye Feng was called anxiously by Ling'er,
"Brother, get up quickly. The soldiers have reported that there are 40,000 to 50,000 men descending from the mountain. They are all yellow scarf warriors. The leader is a black-faced man. They are preparing to attack the mountain. The dust is rolling behind and there may be backup!"
