Chapter 1151 Zhang Liang's Ambush
After spending such a period of time together, Yu Jin already knew the Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuo very well.
Dong Zhuo seems to be kind to Pao Ze, but in the long run, he is poisoning them by stimulating the temptation in their hearts and tying them to Dong Zhuo's chariot.
Yu Jin guessed that if there was no support one day, they might rebel directly.
Soon, Yu Jin found Zhang Ji.
…
…
Halfway to Lingshou City, the surging Xiliang cavalry were like hungry wolves, tearing apart a broken elite Yellow Turban Army.
"General Hua, killed 30,000 enemies, captured thousands of stones of food, fifteen carts of property, and several other supplies!!" A soldier reported to Hua Xiong.
"Not bad!" Everyone smiled slightly. Coming in pursuit, they are looking for wealth and meritorious service. Thirty thousand enemies are not a small feat!
"Continue to pursue!! The enemy is heading for Lingshou City. It should be hundreds of miles away from there. We should be able to catch up with the large army!" Hua Xiong said solemnly.
"Yes! General Hua is right!!"
"Pursue the victory! Completely defeat Pei Yuanshao's tribe before they arrive at Lingshou City. In this way, Changshan Zhongshan and other counties will not have too many Yellow Turbans to hinder our progress!" Guo Si encouraged.
"The Lord will definitely take further steps to regain the land of the two counties, so that everyone will be lifted up! Hehe..." Li Jue said excitedly.
The Xiliang army, which had tasted the sweetness for the first time, continued to pursue.
The Xiliang soldiers, who were all cavalry, moved like the wind and quickly caught up with the enemy.
"General Hua Xiong, there is a relatively long and narrow official road terrain ahead. The enemy is most likely to set up an ambush there!" A ranger who went to explore the road ahead reported.
"How narrow is the long and narrow terrain there? How long is it?" Li Jue asked cautiously.
"The official mountain road ahead can still accommodate at least hundreds of riders passing through at the same time." Ranger Report reported.
"As for the length, it should be several miles." The ranger was unsure.
"At least hundreds of riders can pass through at the same time. It's not too narrow, and it's not too spacious. In terms of length, it should be able to accommodate all of our Xiliang cavalry..." Guo Si and Li Jue looked at each other and had something in mind.
"General Hua Xiong, why don't we spread the cavalry forward and back a little and extend our troops. In this way, even if the enemy sets up an ambush, we can ensure that we will not be overwhelmed by the entire army." Li Jue cautiously suggested again.
"That's okay! Our Xiliang cavalry's combat effectiveness is far better than that of the Yellow Turban Army. Even if there is a difference in numbers, we can still compete." Hua Xiong accepted the suggestion.
Everyone supported him in pursuing the Yellow Turban Army, but suggestions that were not excessive were still acceptable.
"Those properties will be distributed to the entire army immediately, so that everyone can enjoy the results. This way, everyone will be more active in the subsequent pursuit!" Hua Xiong is not a fool, he knows how to win people's hearts.
"General's righteousness!!" Li Jue and others were overjoyed.
With the excitement of fifteen carts of property, the Xiliang cavalry didn't go crazy in pursuit!
You know, they have seen many traces left by dragging in the empty warehouse! Those are the only traces of moving property.
The fleeing Yellow Turban Army must have more property!
Now, it's on the official road in front of them. If they don't take it now, then when will they take it!
Sure enough, stimulated by Hua Xiong's share of the spoils, the Xiliang cavalry roared forward on their horses, as if they were intoxicated.
Soon, the Xiliang cavalry saw smoke and dust rising all over the sky in front of them.
That's the sign of a hurry that only large troops can have.
The Lamb is ahead! As long as you pass through the long and narrow official road, you can catch up!
Hua Xiong wore golden armor and led his troops galloping majestically.
However, Guo Si and Li Jue led the way in the middle and last respectively.
This was a formation set up to carefully pass through the several miles of narrow official roads.
Even though they were confident of winning, Guo Bang and Li Jue still arranged things like this, which shows how serious these two guys are.
However, Guo Si and Li Jue only had half-baked strategies and had no idea what was waiting for them ahead!
"General, we are about to enter a long and narrow official road." A soldier reported.
"Even if there is a temporary ambush, it will be vulnerable. Keep moving forward!" Hua Xiong said in a condensed voice.
The troops continued to advance.
After entering the long and narrow official road, Hua Xiong's vanguard troops were in no danger and the troops continued to advance.
Soon, all Hua Xiong's troops entered.
"General Guo Si, we can enter!" a messenger said.
Guo Si and Li Jue looked at each other but did not act immediately.
"Strange, I feel so peaceful!" Guo Bang whispered. He took a deep look at the road, which was at least twenty feet wide, and then looked at the lush forest next to it.
"I also feel quiet, but it should be because the Yellow Turban Army was too numerous and formed a mighty atmosphere, driving away all the beasts and birds in the forest!" Li Jue said in a condensed voice.
"Forget it, I'll go in first, wait for all my troops to enter, and you can wait for a while before entering again, so that all three of our troops will not be ambushed, and we can assist each other head to tail." Guo Bang said solemnly.
"Okay!" Li Jue nodded.
Three hundred thousand troops, divided into three parts, one part one hundred thousand.
Soon, 300,000 troops entered the narrow official road.
Still nothing happened.
At the front, Hua Xiong quickly crossed the long and narrow official road.
However, as soon as he came out, he saw the Yellow Turban Army standing neatly in a fan shape on the spacious flat ground.
Sheng flags are ringing all around!
The Yellow Turban Army did not continue to escape! !
Seeing this, Hua Xiong's heart sank suddenly.
The enemy must know that they are cavalry, why are they still fighting on the plain? Not setting an ambush in the mountains and forests?
"General Hua Xiong, what should we do now? Charge?" Seeing this situation, a deputy general asked in a low voice.
"Let the soldiers come out first, and then arrange the charge formation." Hua Xiong said with a serious face.
He seemed to feel something strange. That's right, those standing Yellow Turban Army elites seemed very unfamiliar!
Hua Xiong was a god general after all, and his observation ability was still very strong. He found that the leaders of the opposing troops seemed to be unfamiliar faces, and their auras were completely different.
Just like a heaven-level general, his strength has reached the peak of the heaven-level. You know, Pei Yuanshao has no heaven-level peak generals under his command!
Pei Yuanshao hides his strength? Impossible!
Just when Hua Xiong was quite confused, a rumbling sound rang out.
The huge sound like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth came from behind, which means that Guo Si and Li Jue's troops were in danger!
"Report!! The enemy has blocked the retreat!"
"Report!! The enemy has blocked the retreat!"
The same voice kept coming. The voice came from behind again and again. After all, the speed of sound is faster than that of horses.
After a while, Hua Xiong knew that the retreat was cut off.
Li Jue was not a person who made random assertions. He could report such military information, which meant that it would be difficult to break through the cut-off retreat.
This meant that they could only fight to the death with the Yellow Turban Army in front!
However, misfortunes never come alone. At this time, a series of clicks kept coming.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like there is an abnormal sound under my feet?!"
"Me too, it seems like something is about to break!!"
"My warhorse feels uneasy and out of control!!" Abnormalities kept coming.
Hua Xiong glared with his tiger eyes and looked deeply at the soldiers behind him.
"Oh no! Trap, everyone rush out!!!" Hua Xiong felt it a little and found that a fierce aura was brewing underground.
He had not sensed that there was any force affecting him before!
However, Hua Xiong's words had no effect at all. Those charging cavalrymen could not catch up at all. A series of roars continued to sound, and the Xiliang cavalrymen fell off their horses and fell heavily into huge pits.
"Sizzle!!!" The sound of sharp weapons hitting flesh made the Xiliang iron men wail endlessly.
It was not that the Yellow Turban Army did not set up traps, but the traps were too solid, resulting in some of the Xiliang cavalrymen rushing over without any problems, but the ones behind suffered.
"Boom boom!!!!" At this time, huge explosions continued to come from the pits.
There were not only iron thorns in the trap, but also some kind of stimulating talismans! !
The entire narrow official road was full of blood and flesh, and it was extremely tragic.
Seeing this scene, Hua Xiong's eyes were bloodshot.
"Damn it! The Yellow Turban thieves are too cunning!" Hua Xiong said with a sullen face. If there are any mistakes in this pursuit, the first person the lord will punish is him.
Being stripped of the general's hat is a small matter, the most fearful thing is to be beheaded! You know, this is the most elite 300,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
After the Battle of Jingxing, the most complete and elite troops.
If even they are gone, Dong Taishou's action to attack Zhang Jue can be directly declared a failure!
Continue to recruit soldiers from Jizhou... The combat power is hehe...
Li Jue in the rear is also livid at this moment.
Countless soldiers wearing green scarves keep emerging from the mountains and forests, like tigers descending from the mountains, and rush straight towards them.
There is no slogan of "The blue sky is dead and the yellow sky should be established", nor is there a shout of killing. These zombie-like yellow scarf soldiers rushed forward with solemn faces.
Those wearing green scarves are the outliers of the Yellow Scarf Army. They are the most elite forces of each of the Taiping Dao's great generals. Even if Pei Yuanshao is stationed at Xiongguan, there are not many green scarf soldiers under his command.
But now, what are these green-turbaned soldiers all over the mountains? ! !
"Soldiers on both sides of the forest, fight back to back and meet the enemy!!" Li Jue ordered.
"Front, keep on going! ! After the rear meets the enemy, fight and retreat!" Li Jue could only make such a decision after considering the current situation.
This decision is a bad one, but it is the most suitable for them.
Fortunately, there is no big trap of Hua Xiong's army here, otherwise, they are simply cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered!
"Dangdang!!!" The surging green-turbaned soldiers pounced on them like hungry wolves.
The generals of Xiliang kept commanding the soldiers to resist the enemy's attack.
"Hold on, hold on!" Li Jue was also resisting the siege of dozens of green-turbaned soldiers on the front line.
The weakest of these green-turbaned soldiers who besieged him was only at the initial stage of the earth level!
This is a targeted ambush!
And it was carefully prepared for a long time!
Besides Hua Xiong, who was a fierce general, Li Jue and Guo Si, who were in pursuit, had certain commanding abilities and knew a little about basic military strategies.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had been in the northwest for many years, had encountered many enemies, but there were few such enemies that were linked together.
The Yellow Turban Army that escaped from Jingxing City could not have arranged such a sophisticated ambush in such a short time.
The Xiliang generals had long been mentally prepared for an ambush, but such a complete ambush was beyond their expectations.
In other words, the Yellow Turban Army may have prepared an ambush before the city fell, digging ditches, setting traps, and deploying Green Turban warriors to block the pursuit of the troops, etc.
