Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 47 The Battle of Yecheng (9) - Night Attack

In May 185 A.D., Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, suffered repeated defeats in several confrontations with Zhao Lei, the prefect of Changshan, and lost troops and lost generals.But after the victory, Zhao Lei gave a strange order to retreat, which made Zhang Jiao very puzzled.

"My subordinates see the lord." One of Zhang Jiao's personal soldiers walked into the tent and said.

"Can you find out clearly? Why did Zhao Lei withdraw his troops?" Zhang Jiao asked.

"My lord, my subordinates have inquired clearly. The nearby villagers told my subordinates that there was a civil uprising in Yecheng, so Zhao Lei hurriedly led the army to suppress it." The soldier said.

"Good! Good! Good! God helped me." Zhang Jiao said with a smile.

"The people are still on my side, pass on the order, and the food left by Zhao Lei's army can be eaten with peace of mind." Zhang Jiao said smugly.

"My lord, didn't you say that Zhao Lei might have poisoned it?" the soldier asked.

"The civil uprising in Yecheng caught Zhao Lei by surprise. His troops left in such a hurry, there was no time to poison them. Don't worry!" Zhang Jiao said.

"Yes, I obey." The soldiers walked out of the camp.

There were bursts of laughter coming from inside, Zhao Lei was in trouble, Zhang Jiao was finally happier today.

However, in the middle of the night, accompanied by screams again and again, Zhang Jiao was awakened.

"What's going on?" Zhang Jiao asked.

"Returning to my lord, it seems that some soldiers in the barracks have food poisoning." The night watch soldier entered the account and reported to Zhang Jiao.

"What? Is there something wrong with my food?" Zhang Jiao suddenly felt nervous and asked.

"No, it seems that there is something wrong with the grain and grass left by Zhao Lei." The soldier said.

His ominous premonition was confirmed, Zhang Jiao didn't care about getting dressed, so he walked out of the tent.

The screams and noise of the camp pierced the sky, and those who didn't know it thought it was a slaughterhouse!Some of the soldiers were rolling on the ground in pain, some were foaming at the mouth, and fell into a coma.

"It's been tricked again." Zhang Jiao suddenly realized, and then said: "Hurry up and call all the military doctors to treat the wounded."

After being treated like this by Jia Xu, the Yellow Turban Army didn't sleep well for several days.

"My lord, most of the Yellow Turban Army has been poisoned by our food, and they are still in the process of rescuing the wounded," the scout reported to Zhao Lei.

"Hehe, is Zhang Jiao okay?" Zhao Lei asked.

"Zhang Jiao is fine, maybe it's because Zhang Jiao can't eat the food that ordinary soldiers eat!" said the scout.

"I think so too." How pretentious Zhang Jiao is, how could he eat such simple food.

"My lord, I have a plan to hit the Yellow Turban Army again." Zhang Han came out and said.

"Second brother, please tell me."

"Tonight, Ling Zilong and Bo Wen (Gao Lan, the name is unknown, I will take this word first) each led [-] troops to rob the camp. Most of Zhang Jiao's troops were poisoned by food, and they must not be able to resist our army's sneak attack." Zhang Han Said.

"By the way, we can burn Zhang Jiao's grain and grass with a fire. Judging from Zhang Jiao eating the grain and grass left by us, their grain and grass are really running low. It must be due to the heavy rain from Julu's side that has blocked the delivery. If we can stop Zhang Jiao's [-] people will be able to destroy their food and grass." Jia Xu also said.

"Zilong, Bo Wen, let's do what the two military advisers want! Zilong is in charge of looting the camp, and Bo Wen is in charge of burning the food and grass. We must turn Zhang Jiao's camp upside down, and make every dog ​​and dog restless." Zhao Lei said.

"The final general obeys orders." Zhao Yun and Gao Lan said.

After the two got the order, they counted the troops and prepared to go.

As the night fell and the shadows of the moon floated, the raiders led by Zhao Yun and Gao Lan slowly approached Zhang Jiao's camp. They agreed that Zhao Yun would lead the troops to rob the camp first to attract Zhang Jiao's attention, and then Gao Lan detoured behind the camp. Sneak attack on Zhang Jiao's food and grass camp.After the discussion, Zhao Yun led the army alone and rushed into Zhang Jiao's camp with shouts of killing. The yellow turban soldiers at the gate of the village saw Zhao Yun's sudden attack, and fled in a hurry before they even had time to close the gate of the village.After Zhao Yun rushed into the camp, he set fire everywhere and shouted slogans to capture Zhang Jiao alive.

Just as Zhang Jiao lay down, there was a loud shout from outside the tent. The soldiers came to report that Zhao Lei's army had robbed the camp. Zhang Jiao got up quickly, put on his armor and commanded the troops to resist.The entire Yellow Turban barracks became a sea of ​​flames because of Zhao Yun's arson.Many soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army had not yet recovered from food poisoning, and were killed by Zhao Yun's troops and retreated steadily.

Seeing Zhao Yun rushing from left to right in his camp, as if he had entered no one's land, Zhang Jiao was furious, and shouted to the left and right: "Zhang Mancheng, Deng Mao, Cheng Yuanzhi, Yan Zheng, let me kill Zhao Yun together!" .”

The four generals put on their armor and mounted their horses one after another, picked up their weapons and ran towards Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun saw several enemy generals of the Yellow Turban Army galloping towards him, and he was not afraid at all.He shouted loudly: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, let the enemy come here!" This shout made the four of Zhang Mancheng tremble with fear, and they felt defeated for a while before fighting.

Before the four generals rushed to Zhao Yun's side, they realized that Zhao Yun's fierce aura was rushing towards him. This kind of top-notch general's aura and aura that these third- and fourth-rate generals could bear made the four of them feel their hearts rushing to each other. Intention, the initiation of retreat.Zhao Yun saw the opportunity and shot at the four generals.The four generals saw Zhao Yun's move so fast, they all raised their weapons to block Zhao Yun's sweeping move.I saw that after the four generals received Zhao Yun's moves, even the horse backed up a few steps unconsciously, and the arms of the four generals were numb from the shock of Zhao Yun's shot. The four of them have no power to fight back, their speed and strength have reached an unimaginable level, no wonder Dian Wei is not his opponent either.While the four generals were hesitating, Zhao Yun attacked them again, this time his tactics were not only fast, but also varied, only Yan Zheng was shot and fell when he was young, and the other three generals all had varying degrees of scars on their bodies.Seeing that the situation was not good, the three of them fled in haste. Zhao Yun chased them all the way, but no one dared to fight wherever they went, so they retreated one after another.It wasn't until deep in the enemy camp that Zhao Yun saw that there were no soldiers around him, so he gave up chasing.

Speaking of which, when Zhang Jiao saw that Zhao Yun had beaten one of his four most proud generals to death and three injuries by himself, he immediately missed Dian Wei in his heart.But just when he was regretting, another soldier came to report that Gao Lan led an army to attack the grain and grass camp, and most of the grain and grass in the camp were destroyed.Zhang Jiao was shocked when he learned about it. The so-called soldiers and horses go first without food and grass. If there is no food and grass, there is no need to fight.So he dispatched a group of people to rush to the grain and grass camp to rescue and reduce losses.

Overnight, under Zhao Lei's sneak attack, the Yellow Turban Army lost most of its food and grass, and the troops lost more than [-] people overnight; while only more than [-] people were killed on Zhao Lei's side.Faced with such failures, Zhang Jiao felt grief and indignation, and he began to waver in his heart, whether his path of uprising had come to an end.However, maybe it is the endless road, or the appearance of Zhao Lei that changed history.Youzhou fell, and Zhang Jiao's subordinate Guan Hai led an army of [-] to capture the entire territory of Youzhou. Lu Zhi's troops were beaten and retreated steadily, and now they are expelled from the border of Youzhou.Now Guan Hai led [-] elite Yellow Turbans to Jizhou to help Zhang Jiao.

"My lord, Guan Hai's [-]-foot army is now approaching the northern part of Yecheng." The scout reported.

"What about Lu Zhiren?" Zhao Lei asked.

"General Lu Zhi's troops are now resting in the state. We will sort out the defeated troops," Zhao Lei said.

"It's strange. Didn't Lu Zhi have Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei? How could he lose?" Zhao Lei looked at Zhang Han, who also had a serious expression on his face.

"Although we wiped out a lot of Zhang Jiao's troops, when Guan Hai's 3 troops came for reinforcements, Zhang Jiao's troops not only did not decrease, but increased instead. And these [-] troops were able to defeat the regular imperial army led by Lu Zhi. , Strength must not be underestimated." Zhang Han said after hearing the scout's report.

After hearing Zhang Han's words, Zhao Lei was also very worried.Zhao Lei had long heard that there was a well-trained regular army in the Yellow Turban Army. Its combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the general Yellow Turban Army. This army was well-trained and cooperated with each other tacitly.Could it be that the elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army defeated Lu Zhi?The more Zhao Lei thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, so he said to everyone: "The order will be passed down, Yecheng will strengthen its defenses, and people will be sent to patrol the city tower at night. Order the soldiers in Changshan County to be more vigilant."

"Subordinates obey." Everyone said.

"My lord, the future is late, please forgive me, my lord." Guan Hai knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Zhang Jiao.

"General Guan got up and spoke, you pacified Youzhou and defeated Lu Zhi, why are you so drunk?" Zhang Jiao smiled and helped Guan Hai up.

"My lord, I heard that my lord has repeatedly encountered obstacles in Jizhou, and I am very anxious. As soon as I took Youzhou, my subordinates rushed to rescue them." Guan Hai said.

"Okay, I understand General Guan's intentions. Now that General Guan's [-] elite troops are here, we will definitely be able to win Jizhou." Zhang Jiao laughed. With Guan Hai's elite troops, Zhao Lei has no advantage. to speak of.

"The subordinates will do their best to help the lord win Jizhou." Guan Hai clasped his fists and said.

"Strange? Strange?" Zhao Lei said to himself in the room alone. Zhang Han and Zhao Yun sat on chairs and watched Zhao Lei wander around the room for half an hour.

"Brother, don't turn around, I'm dizzy from being turned around." Zhao Yun complained.

"Xiao Lei, what are you wondering about?" Zhang Han asked.

"Lu Zhi's army has fought several battles in Youzhou. Why hasn't Huangfusong's army come to Jizhou to rescue? Now that Guan Hai and Zhang Jiao are joining forces, if we don't come to rescue our troops, we will suffer a lot in terms of numbers. .” Zhao Lei said.

"I remember when you said that, it doesn't take so long to cross the Yellow River?" Zhang Han also asked strangely.

"If there is really no reinforcements, we can only use less than 10,000 troops to resist the attack of [-]+ people. It's no big deal." Zhao Yun laughed while drinking tea.

"You idiot..." Zhang Han gave Zhao Yun a white look.

"That's all our wealth, how can we easily waste it on these peasant soldiers." Zhang Han continued.

"That's true, but we can't wait for the enemy to come over and not defend the city?" Zhao Yun asked.

"From now on, I can only hope that the mysterious techniques I have arranged will be effective when the enemy is attacking the city. It is good if it can be delayed for a while. I hope that the reinforcements will arrive soon!" Zhang Han sighed.

The three of them sighed.
