Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Burning Company Battalion
“There will be. I’ve seen the sky before. Perhaps there will be a strong wind tomorrow, at the latest the day after tomorrow.” Huangfu Song said confidently. As an outstanding general, he had to know a little about astronomy and geography.
“Good, that’s good.” Zhu Ye’s expression couldn’t help but become excited when he heard that there would be a strong wind either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Being trapped in the Chang She for a while, his mood was extremely depressed. It was also because of his defeat, so his mood was even more depressed.
Seeing that he could vent this anger, why was his heart uncomfortable?
“General, look, what is that!” As Zhu Yao’s mood relaxed and Huangfu Song was determined to obtain it, a cry of surprise suddenly came from behind him. Then, they saw a fire dragon rushing towards the campsite of the female thief in the distance.
After looking at Huangfu Song, he was surprised and said, “It must be the reinforcements sent by the Imperial Court. Quickly, order the soldiers of the city to gather and cooperate with the reinforcements.”
Although he did not wait for the gale as he wished, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and the good opportunity was fleeting. Qualified generals do not have to stick to the rules, but change according to the situation.
Immediately, the imperial army of the Chang She gathered together, and under the leadership of Huangfu Song and Zhu Yao, they rushed out of the city and attacked the Yellow Scarf Bandit Camp.
In the camp, the first person to arrive was the leader of the fire dragon that Huangfu Song saw, Zhang Chao, who was riding on a warhorse. He continuously put on bow arrows in his hands, and the bow with kerosene pierced through the sky and landed in the camp of the Yellow Scarf Army.
“Shoot! Don’t be stingy with your bows and arrows! Release them all!” While shooting, Zhang Chao shouted loudly.
Five miles away from the enemy, Zhang Chao was still walking slowly with the knights. It wasn’t until he was only three miles away that he rode his horse wildly. The distance of 1,500 meters was only a blink of an eye. Then, the planned rocket attack began.
Zhang Chao this time only brought zhaoyun, and five hundred zhang family light cavalry. Although his combat strength was not bad, once he was surrounded by the Yellow Scarf Army, the situation would be quite severe. If he wanted to win by a small amount, he could only break the other party’s layout and take advantage of the chaos to cover it up.
It was now midnight, and the sky was dark. Most of the yellow turban army were also sleeping. If they rushed forward at this moment, the other party would not be able to figure out their real situation for a while. At that time, it would be their chance to take advantage of the chaos to obtain victory.
Zhang Chao continuously shouted. The five hundred cavalry under his command shot out their bows and arrows without pulling them. Very quickly, the entire Yellow Scarf Army camp turned into a sea of fire.
Crying, shouting, and saving lives could be heard endlessly. The Yellow Scarf Army camp started to get messed up.
“Lord, let’s rush up.” Zhao Yun was already a little unhurried and unanxious. He was the first person to finish shooting all the bows and arrows in his hand, and then came to Zhang Chao’s side to ask for a charge.
“Why are you in such a hurry? In this way, we will first make a detour to the enemy’s rear.” Zhang Chao waved his hand and stopped the charge.
“Not rushing? Why?” At this moment, Zhao Yun was also puzzled. With such a good opportunity, it was obvious that he would be able to perform a miraculous feat if he rushed forward. Why would he abandon it and merge with it?
“Hehe, why, son dragon could it be that you have never heard of, a person can’t be greedy under the heavens? This time, we have already taken the lead in launching an attack and heavily injured the Yellow Scarf Army. We have already achieved great merits. If we still want to charge at the same time, then we will be holding all the great merits in our hands. Doesn’t this mean that we aren’t afraid that others will be jealous? Zhang Chao smiled at Zhao Yun and said, “If you have meat to eat, you have to leave a mouthful of soup for others.”
Then he continued, “I’m telling you, these five hundred cavalry are my family’s property. They can’t be easily damaged.”
Zhang Chao’s words, in Zhao Yun’s ears, really played a great educational significance. In the end, he was only a tiger general. Perhaps he could think of ways to deal with the enemy in the face of battle. But when it came to grasping the situation, especially the people’s hearts, it was far inferior to Lord.
Zhao Yun naturally had to obey Master’s orders. The five hundred cavalry slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight as if they were coming.
With the situation in chaos, no one paid attention to who set the fire.
The Yellow Scarf Army only cared about escaping. They had never been trained before, but their soldiers could not find generals, nor could they find soldiers. Bo Cai originally wanted to organize a counterattack, but the fire was too big and the wind was erratic, so he decided to do it.
Not far away, two torrents were carrying the momentum.
One of them was naturally Huangfu Song and Zhu Yao’s soldiers.
The other was naturally Cao Cao and Zhang Miao.
He didn’t know that someone would attack the Yellow Scarf Army tonight, so Cao Cao went to bed early. So much so that the situation was chaotic, he was hurried out of the tent, now cao “hide the real image is not good, even the coat is also very untidy. .
Want to rob cao “is really can’t care about so much, he knew that if in the evening for a while, I’m afraid the credit is no longer his share, he can only ride a warhorse to this side, while tidying up his appearance. At the same time, he also muttered in his heart, “Which tiger is playing hard to get? It went to war without even saying a word, causing him to lose his first merit after staying there for many days.”
Of course, this was his mental state. If he saw the arsonist, he would only praise him greatly. However, he was extremely jealous in his heart. If he had the chance, he would even cause a small stumble or something.
The two torrents rapidly approached the Yellow Scarf Army camp, both of them wishing to inflict heavy damage on the enemy as soon as possible.
However, when they were really about to arrive at the camp, they felt a burning sensation. It was the roasting intent brought about by the fire attack on the straw tent.
The armored general and the armored soldier couldn’t help but feel the sultry heat from the bottom of their hearts at this moment.
If cao “conceal is cao” conceal, clothes is just tidied up, immediately all unloaded, and then naked into the camp. This was good, he thought. Everyone didn’t have to worry about their image anymore, and they could still show off their courage and fierceness.
Sure enough, after seeing Cao Cao take off his jacket, the others followed suit. Immediately, patches of white bodies rushed into the camp like this. The scenery looked far away, but there was a different scenery.
This time, it was much easier to recognize them. After entering the battlefield, there was no need to see what clothes they were wearing, but anyone who wore a jacket was an enemy.
Huangfu Song and Cao Cao’s troops had both entered the barracks, and for a moment, they shouted’kill ‘. The Yellow Scarf Army, which had been burned into chaos by the fire, quickly began to collapse.
This was the difference between a regular army and a mob.
Even if the former were to encounter danger, they could still retreat while fighting. At the very least, it would minimize their losses and maintain their combat strength.
The latter was different. When things went smoothly, they could naturally rush forward. Once they faced failure, they would become scattered sand. They would run around like headless flies, and they would no longer be able to resist.
The Yellow Scarf Army began to retreat. The officials and soldiers of the Imperial Court chased after them again and again, continuously advancing with the advantage of the strong wind sweeping the fallen leaves, chasing after the defeated army that had completely lost its ability to resist.
Huangfu Song and Cao Cao were in front of the Yellow Scarf Army’s army tent.
Looking at the empty tent, Huangfu Song asked, “Where did Bo Cai go?”
“I don’t know. They must have escaped, right? If that’s the case, we’ll immediately chase after them. They shouldn’t have escaped far.” Looking at the empty tent, looking at the clothes and weapons thrown on the ground, Cao Cao made a suggestion. Judging from this scene, the other party had fled in a hurry, so he shouldn’t have run very far.
“That’s right! In that case, I’ll split up with Commandant Cao to chase after him.” Zhu Yao pushed his reins forward and said.
The last time he lost to Bo Cai, Zhu Yao had always wanted to find an opportunity to turn the tables. Now that he finally had a chance, he didn’t want to let it go.
“I am willing to chase after the bandits together with the rightward commander.” Cao Cao answered.
At this time, Zhu Yue’s official position was Corps Leader Right. Cao Cao’s words were equivalent to agreeing with his opinion.
“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you two to make a trip. Satrap Zhang, I need to trouble you to clean the battlefield with me.” After Huangfu Song agreed with the two of them, he said to Zhang Miao.
“Commander Zunzuo’s life is from.” Zhang Miao clasped his fists and replied.
…
While Huangfu Song and the others were still discussing countermeasures, Zhang Chaoji brought Zhao Yun and the five hundred cavalry to the back of a small hill behind the Yellow Scarf Army without anyone noticing.
Even though it was still dark, with the faint moonlight, one could still clearly see many of the Yellow Scarf Army fleeing in a sorry state.
“Lord, we can’t rush out.” Zhao Yun watched so many yellow scarf thieves escape from under his nose and asked anxiously.
“No hurry, no hurry. Wait and see if there are any big fish.” Zhang Chao was not anxious, but he said calmly with a straw in his mouth.
Burning the Yellow Scarf Army was equivalent to making the first contribution. There was no need for him to build any new accomplishments, at least before he had any fame, there was no need for him to do so.
Since he had already made a contribution, the next thing he needed to do was to seek some privacy for himself. Zhang Chao aimed at the Yellow Scarf Army’s property.
Since the appearance of the Yellow Scarf Army, the forces had swept through eight provinces. What they had done along the way was to rob whatever they saw. They should have a considerable amount of property. Right now, what Zhang Chao lacked the most was money. He had his mind set on Bo Cai’s group of Yellow Scarf Army.
They had come so far to rope around in order to wait here to rob them of their wealth. However, these words were easy to say and hard to listen to, so Zhang Chao didn’t say anything to outsiders. He just said that if he wanted to kill, he would kill the big fish.
Zhao Yun’s thoughts were very pure, so he naturally could not think of those things. Master said to wait for the big fish, then wait.
The group of 500 people ambushed behind the small hill and watched as groups of Yellow Scarf Army soldiers left.
“Coming, coming.” Just as Zhang Chao was leaning against the hill, Zhao Yun’s excited voice sounded.
