Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 284 The Battle of the White Horse
Wen Cang said that when he looked back, he saw several thick smoke rising from behind.

"Not good! That's the direction of the camp!" Wen Chou said anxiously, then turned around to look at the siege battle that had already begun, and gritted his teeth, "My lord still has soldiers and horses in the camp, so there shouldn't be any accidents. Xu Rong dared to divide his troops out of the city , attack me!"

As he said that, Wen Chou threw his spear on the ground, found the sword and shield, and rushed up by himself.

At the same time, Yan Liang also saw the thick smoke rising from behind, and he hesitated.

"Xu Rong is so cunning that he even stole the camp. The beacon smoke is the signal to steal the camp. I am worried that the Lord is in danger. Fang Sima, you lead the cavalry back to the camp. Xu Rong divides his troops out of the city. The city will be empty. I will continue to attack the city! "Yan Liang arranged.

Fang Sima immediately led his troops away.

At the head of Baima City, everything that happened below the city would naturally not escape his eyes.

Only Yan Liang sent his troops back to help, while Wen Chou still attacked the city with all his strength.

The strategy of dividing the troops is half the battle.

In fact, Xu Rong didn't send any troops to attack the camp at all. Those who set fire in that direction were just some scouts. The fire was not Yuan Jun's camp, but the woodland in the same direction.

Xu Rong gave orders to the scouts, and when he saw the smoke rising from the White Horse City, he set fire to confuse the enemy.

Siege warfare is not a swarm, but a step-by-step process. In addition, there are soldiers and horses raiding the formation to prevent the enemy from attacking.

Xu Rong handed out a military badge and asked the messengers to send it down. Since Yan Liang sent cavalry back to help, his formation would be vulnerable.

Xu Rong's military order is: cavalry attack, attack Yan Liang's department!
Yan Liang looked up at the city wall in front of him. From time to time, soldiers who were climbing were thrown down by stones. Their life and death were unknown. On the ground, there were bloody wounded soldiers climbing out. From time to time, arrows fell from Xu Rongjun's army on the top of the city, but they were not shot to death. Also fell to his death.

The war dead under the city began to pile up, and the blood trickled, pooled into a gulp, and poured into the low-lying places.

Looking at the brutal siege battle, Yan Liang felt uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know when it happened.

"General, there are cavalrymen in the west of the city, charging towards our army!" A military report came suddenly.

"What! Cavalry?"

Yan Liang was startled, and his uneasiness was confirmed. Xu Rong was planning to attack the camp by surprise, in order to send his troops back to help, so that he could take the opportunity to attack the siege army.

The siege army is basically equipped with short blades. Facing the cavalry, they can only be slaughtered. If their siege phalanx is dispersed by the cavalry, the siege battle can end early.

"Quickly inform General Wen Chou to send cavalry to raid the formation for our army!" Yan Liang said urgently.

"Here!" The messenger led the order to leave, and galloped towards Wen Chou's army formation. The two armies were not far apart, and they could even hear their shouts from the nearest place to the city gate.

"Lead my war horse!" Yan Liang said, pulling out the pestle and the broad-bladed sword beside him, and he wanted to fight in person.

The Wen Chou formation is not far away, and the messengers will come back soon.

"Report-"

"General, General Wen Chou went into battle in person first, and the cavalry in the army cannot be mobilized!"

"Nonsense!" Yan Liang cursed immediately, "How many times have I said that a general wants to lead the overall situation, how can he only focus on fighting!" Then, he waved his long knife again, and said, "Follow me, block the enemy cavalry!"

……

Liu Qing's troops are already on their way back to Weijun.

Taking advantage of the coolness in the morning, hurry up.

Not long after leaving Jinyang, a fast horse suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped in front of Liu Qing.

"My lord, Yuan Shao raises [-] troops and besieges the white horse!"

Yuan Shao is about to fight?

"How many days ago was this?"

"Four days." The messenger soldier replied immediately.

If the siege was planned four days ago, then by this time, the attack may have already taken place.

As for the result, Liu Qing can only wait quietly. There are three situations. Yuan Jun captures the white horse, Xu Rong retreats, Yuan Jun retreats after failure, and Xu Rong gains a firm foothold in Dongjun. No more, continue to stalemate.

"Do you know Xu Rong's soldiers and horses?"

The messenger soldier shook his head.

"It's hard work, go down and rest." Liu Qing said lightly, turning to look at Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, what do you think Yuan Jun's chances of winning this battle are?"

"There is too little information, Jia dare not make rash judgments, but Xu Rong is a general who always wins, and the possibility of him winning is even greater."

"I really hope that Yuan Jun can win." Liu Qing changed his normal routine and hoped that Yuan Shao would win.

"My lord hopes that the battle of the white horse will come to an early result, so that Zhang Miao will not hesitate and come and vote for the lord."

"Feng Xiao's guess is accurate! Not only Zhang Miao will have a sense of crisis, Lu Bu and Chen Gong who stationed troops in Puyang, but also Liu Bei and Cao Cao who actually occupy the eastern part of Yanzhou, and even Qingzhou and Xuzhou, all feel the crisis. Qingxu Yanyu's competition On the contrary, if Dong Zhuo gains a firm foothold in Yanzhou, I am afraid they will unite more closely with the Yuan family."

Dong Zhuo is like a foreign enemy to the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan and Yu. When there is no foreign enemy, they will start wrestling internally, consuming each other, and finally take advantage of Liu Qing, the biggest person who sits on the mountain and watches the dragon and the tiger fight.

"My lord's words are very true. Not only the four prefectures, but also the two prefectures of Jingyang and Yangzhou are still involved. Now that the imperial court is divided, its authority has been lost, and the local rise is a foregone conclusion. My lord should settle in the north. First solve the Youzhou Gongsun Zan, and then rectify the three prefectures." As for Gongsun Zan, there is no news so far, maybe he is afraid of the threat of the lord, and Gongsun Zan is afraid."

Guo Jia said with a smile, "In the final analysis, Gongsun Zan is not from a high family background. Although he is not small in ambition, he has a natural awe for the high-ranking people. With his status as the lord, the King of Bohai, Bingzhou Mu, and the champion general, each of them is something that he can't do." attainable existence."

Speaking of Gongsun Zan, Liu Qing sneered, "If he is loyal to the Han Dynasty, guards the land and borders for the great Han, and still has the title of Marquis, if he takes action against Liu Yu, how can I tolerate him!"

"My lord, what about Liu Yu?"

"Youzhou is better in Liu Yu's hands than mine!"

Guo Jia secretly admired it, this is Liu Qing's pattern, the land of one state, other people will steal their heads, and even take risks. With the current strength of the lord, it is easy to take Youzhou, and conquer Wuhuan and Dong Xianbei. Next.

The lord, on the other hand, assigns it to others lightly. Only a person who truly cares about the world can have such a situation. This is the lord worthy of his following!

Seeing that Guo Jia was silent, Liu Qing asked again: "Feng Xiao, what kind of pattern do you think the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan and Yu will eventually exist in?"

"My lord, based on the unique foundation and conditions of the Yuan family in these four states, in the end Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will each become vassals on one side, and on the other hand, Cao Cao and Liu Bei may occupy one or half of the states with the secret support of the lord. Yangzhou has always been far away from the Central Plains, as long as there are chaos in Qingxu, Yanyu for several years, there will definitely be a force in Yangzhou to take advantage of the momentum."

Liu Qing glanced at Guo Jia, what kind of IQ is this, can you guess it?
Obviously, in history, the power that Guo Jia mentioned rose and made his fortune in Yangzhou, that is Sun Wu.

Now that Sun Jian is serving as Yuan Shu's younger brother, it can be said that the world line has come to an end.

As for whether he will die in the battle to conquer Liu Biao, it is unknown.

……

Yan Liang gathered thousands of soldiers and horses, and moved the few soldiers with long weapons to the front, which should be able to prevent Xu Rongjun's cavalry from charging.

Watching the dust rising from the west, coming one after another, Yan Liang tightened his grip on the knife.

"Soldiers, don't be afraid, prepare to meet the enemy, point your spear forward, and stab them to death!" Yan Liang shouted.

On the other side, the charging Xiliang army also entered the sprint stage, breathing out fragrance while rushing violently.

The offensive seemed to come instantly, Xiliang cavalry crashed into Yuan Jun's battle formation, and the collision was extremely tragic. The horses and knights rushing forward were directly smashed into a sieve, and under the huge impact, Yuan Jun, who bore the brunt, was hit The bodies fell apart, and many people were directly decapitated and fragmented.

A Xiliang soldier died with a spear in his body, but he was still holding a long spear tightly, and with the help of speed, the long spear pierced through three Yuan Jun, one for three.

The cavalry advanced again, and after rushing into the formation, they began to fight. Some people stabbed left and right with long spears, and others were holding scimitars with their blades facing outwards, and galloping horses with one hand. Wherever the blades went, the lighter ones were killed The skin was torn apart, and the severed body was decapitated on the spot, with blood splattered several feet.

Yan Liang stared coldly at the invading enemy, swung his swords in the air with both hands, and the two Xiliang soldiers attacked Yan Liang together. The two Xiliang soldiers had just entered his attack range, and one of them smashed his head to the ground.

The other Xiliang soldier was a little terrified when he saw this. Obviously, the opponent in front of him was beyond his ability to deal with. For a while, he planned to rein in the horse and turn around, but before he left Yan Liang's attack range, he felt a cold light behind him. However, another person was beheaded.

Yan Liang spat, looked at the two headless bodies and said, "Xiliang soldiers are nothing more than that!"

As soon as the words fell, a scream of "ah" was heard. It turned out that Yuan Jun beside him had his hand cut off and was crying in pain.

Yan Liang could do nothing about this, he could only avenge him.

With a leap of his horse, he easily killed that Xiliang soldier.

Looking around again, Yan Liang found that apart from his surroundings, most of the battle formations had been pierced by Xiliang cavalry, and the end was not bad. In addition to assassination and slashing, more people died because of being collided and trampled.

Yan Liang realized that his defeat had been exposed, but he could not withdraw his troops because one side was still attacking the city and there were no cavalry.

If you retreat, you will only become the prey of the opponent.

"That's all! Let's fight to the death!" Yan Liang muttered secretly, and swung his saber again to slash at the Xiliang army. The blade whistled, and almost every time he swung, a Xiliang army died under the knife.

Of course, Yan Liang alone could not change the decline of the entire formation. Just when he was desperate, there was a sudden shout of killing from the periphery.

Yan Liang couldn't help being confused, where did the cavalry come from?Could it be that Wen Chou is back?
"Jiang Qi is here, Xu Rong is here to die!" A loud shout came from the foreign army.

Yan Liang's eyes lit up immediately, it was Jiang Qi!
Jiang Qi, whom the lord dubbed the "Fantastic General"!

As soon as the words fell, another loud shout came——

"Chunyu Qiong is here, Xu Rong should be captured quickly!"

When Yan Liang heard this, for some reason, he even felt like laughing, but this is a battlefield, chilling and cold, not kidding.

"It's General Jiang Qi and General Chun Yuqiong who have arrived, and the lord's reinforcements have arrived, kill them all!" Yan Liang also shouted.

The leader of the Xiliang Army saw that Yuan Jun's reinforcements had arrived, and he realized that he had no chance of a big victory. However, Yuan Jun was injured and killed a lot in this battle, and Yan Liang's troops had basically lost their ability to attack the city.

The Xiliang army came in like a tide, and retreated like a tide, advancing and retreating freely, such soldiers and horses could not help but make Yan Liang envious.

"General Yan Liang, how are you doing?"

Yan Liang was fine, although blood was spattered all over his body, but none of it belonged to him.

"It's my plan. The cunning Xu Rong created a trick to make me think that the Lord's camp was under attack, so he sent cavalry back to help."

"My lord saw the fire in the forest not far from the camp, so he knew something was wrong. Feng Yuantu said that this must be Xu Rong's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. He intended to let Yan Liang and Wen Chou return to the camp to rescue the camp, and then they took the opportunity to attack and attack the city. force."

"Fortunately, the general arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! Feng Yuan Tu really had a clever plan, and he outdid Xu Rong." Yan Liang said.

"It's a pity that the Xiliang army slipped away too fast, otherwise I would have to show them how good I am!" Chunyuqiong interjected.

Neither Yan Liang nor Jiang Qi spoke.

I just quietly watched you pretending to be aggressive.

"Report-"

"General Yan, General Wen Chou has led his troops to the top of the city first."

Hearing this, Yan Liang was excited again, and looked at the White Horse City Wall. At this time, even the city wall on his own side was about to attack. Obviously, because Wen Chou succeeded in ascending first, the troops on this side were also withdrawn.

"Great! I didn't expect such a big news just after Qi arrived. Look, Xu Rongjun's wall has already started to be in chaos. General Wen Chou is really a tiger general. He succeeded in the first battle." Jiang Qi laughed.

Originally, the siege battle was protracted, but this time, it ended so quickly.

It can only be said that it was a trick, but it was a blessing in disguise. Xu Rong sent a soldier, and Baima County lost one soldier, and Wen Chou chose to go into battle in person. The offensive is naturally extraordinary.

Yan Liang couldn't laugh, because of Wen Chou's willfulness, he almost confessed to it.

……

At the head of Baima City, Xu Rong personally slashed and killed Yuan Jun who was going up to the head of the city with his sword, and retreated while fighting.

From the time Xu Rong saw the dust flying in the distance, he knew that Yuan Jun's rescue was coming, and the cavalry he sent from Ximen couldn't handle it.

"General, what should we do, can't we keep it?"

Xu Rong made a long story short: "Let's fight and retreat!"

Just when he saw the reinforcements, news came from the other side that Wen Chou had ascended to the top of the city and slaughtered all sides. Xu Rong had already ordered the white horse to be abandoned.

On the top of the city, Wen Chou held a short blade and took the lead to charge towards Xu Rongjun. His whole body was already stained red with blood, and even his face was covered with blood. This battle was the most hearty one he had ever experienced. war.

Bloody battle, very apt,
Xu Rongjun "retreats" steadily, and Wen Chou's troops kill more and more smoothly, and finally kill the top of the city and kill Yan Liang's side.

Wen Chou looked at the extremely tragic battlefield below the city. The battle on the city was extremely tragic, but compared with Yan Liang's surroundings, it was still a bit worse. Wen Chou immediately understood how much pressure Yan Liang was under when he charged with all his strength. The horse is obviously a reinforcement sent by the lord.

Wen Chou finally fixed his eyes on Yan Liang, stood on the top of the wall and shouted:
"General Yan Liang has worked hard!"

Yan Liang tightened his grip on the knife, and secretly cursed Wen Chou, this fellow is too impulsive!

Yan Liang turned his head to the wall and said, "General Wen Chou, congratulations!"
