The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Changed the names of these sections. It was originally planned to briefly describe the different personalities of the main characters in this initial battle with the Yellow Turbans, because they simply used their names as the title of the festival.

—

Like last time, the guests who left the city this time were still led by Xu Zhong, Liu Deng, Jiang Qin, Gao brothers, Su brothers and others, but the number was half less than last time. Last time it was 100 people, this time only fifty people.

The last time they went out of the city to attack, Wen Pin and Chen Bao did not go out, but received them at the gate of the city.

This time, Xun Zhen originally planned to let them meet at the city gate, but Chen Bao readily accepted the order, but Wen Ping was unwilling. He insisted that his entourage, Xun Zhen, leave the city. In addition, Xin Ai, who followed Xun Zhen down from the city head, also asked to participate in the night raid.

Xun Zhen could quite understand what they were thinking.

Wen Ping and Xin Ai are both young, and they are both martial and brave. For the old soldiers, fighting is a dangerous thing. It's an opportunity to show off their prowess, so it's not surprising that they actively asked to fight. Especially Wenpin, Xunzhen took care of him, and he has not been allowed to go to the front line for the past two days, and he couldn't hold back for a long time.

Xun Zhen pondered for a moment, then thought: "Together with the Yellow Turbans, it will officially open the curtain of the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty. Zhongye and Yulang are both martial and brave, and will go to the battlefield sooner or later. I can 'protect' them for a while, but not 'protect' They are the first. Instead of waiting to fight those 'hundred-war veterans' directly in the future, it is better for them to practice their skills first and fight against the 'rabble' yellow turban soldiers first."

Thinking of this, he no longer stopped the two of them and agreed to their request.

Fifty guests, including Xun Zhen, Xu Zhong, Liu Deng, and others, totaled sixty people, each riding one of the "old horses" who had fought last time. Xun Zhen didn't talk nonsense, got on his horse, and said to Chen Bao, Gao Su, Feng Gong and other people who stayed behind: "As last time, after I lead the crowd to attack, you all defend the city gate and help me beat drums."

Chen Bao, Gao Su, Feng Gong and others responded, "No."

Xun Zhen turned her ears and listened carefully outside the city.

The harassing and chaotic sounds of the yellow turban soldiers outside the city were clearly heard through the city gate. They galloped and yelled for about a quarter of an hour. The sound gradually became smaller, and the horseshoes were vaguely heard, and it seemed to be far away. They should have left the moat and returned. The squad is gone.

The enemy retreats and I advance, this is the right time to open the door and attack.

In the city gate cave, sixty people rode in a neat queue, silent, and occasionally war horses snorted.

Xun Zhen looked back at everyone.

Xu Zhong was on the left behind him, silent and quiet. Behind him on the right is Liu Deng, holding a spear in one hand and stroking the place where he was injured last time with the other. Between Xu Zhong and Liu Deng were Wen Pin and Xin Ai. Wen Pin blushed with excitement, and his eyes were fixed on him, always waiting for his order to attack. It's very quiet, but Xu Zhong's quietness is calm, but his quietness is more relaxed. At the end of the team was Jiang Qin, whose duty this time was still the rear of the palace. He was holding his breath and listening to the movements outside the city. The Gao brothers and Su brothers who were in the middle of the team had different expressions, either nervous or excited.

There are fifty guests in this attack, all carefully selected, all of them are brave warriors. Xun Zhen divided them into five "shes", the Gao brothers, the Su brothers, and Jiang Qin temporarily served as the "she chiefs" of each.

Compared with the different expressions of these "leaders", the expressions of the guests were much simpler.

They are not like Xun Zhen, who do not have to shoulder the safety of the whole city; they are not like Xu Zhong and Liu Deng, they are not Xun Zhen's personal guards; they are not like the Gao brothers, Su brothers, Jiang Qin, who have no responsibility to lead the team, do not need to Responsible for the people of this country, just kill the enemy, so the most expressions are: the urge and eagerness to fight fiercely. —The last time they attacked, they beat the Yellow Turban soldiers to pieces, which greatly boosted their confidence. At this moment, no one was timid.

Xun Zhen nodded secretly and said in her heart, "Military heart can be used, morale can be used." Shen Sheng ordered the guards to open the city gate.

…

The city gate opened, and the moonlight fell in front of him.

Not far away are several broken ladders. The corpses of seven or eight yellow turban soldiers were lying on the snow-melted mud ground facing the city gate. Ahead, the moat was quiet and shimmering.

Xun Zhen said briefly to Wen Pin and Xin Ai, "Follow me." Then, he raised his spear, galloped on his horse, and rushed out of the city gate first.

After two days and one night of fierce battles, the outside of the city has long since changed beyond recognition. Only the suspension bridge over the moat was preserved, because neither the Yellow Turbans nor the guards in the city had any plans to destroy it.

Although the moat is not very wide, five or six people or three or four cavalry can be carried in parallel at a time. With it, the Yellow Turbans can build one less pontoon when attacking the city, and the defenders in the city can also cross the river to attack at any time.

After deftly jumping over the broken ladder and the corpse, when the mount stepped on the suspension bridge, Xun Zhen still thought: "Tonight's night attack, if we win a big victory, in order to prevent us from leaving the city to attack again, Bo Cai I don't know if this bridge will be burned down?"

As for whether the Yellow Turban soldiers would destroy the bridge and cut off their back path after they crossed the bridge, he was not worried. Just like when he led the attack last time, there were Chen Bao, Feng Gong, Gao Su and others at the city gate, and they would never sit back and watch the Yellow Turbans destroy the bridge.

The moat is said to be wide or not, narrow or not. The sixty horses have just left the city, and the horses that have been recharged for a long time are full of strength, like the wind and lightning, and they have reached the other side of the river in an instant. On the other side of the river is the camp of the Yellow Turbans, and the nearest place to the river is less than two miles away.

When the Yellow Turbans first arrived at the city, they did not camp at all.

A regular camp is like a small town. The camp is neatly planned. There are main roads, branch roads, baggage areas, and camp areas divided for each army. If you camp for a long time, there will even be a drainage system. At the very least, fences and watchtowers will be built at the edge of the building, and some will dig a deep trench, erected outside to resist horses, sprinkle caltrops, etc., to prevent the enemy from raiding.

The Yellow Turbans' camp was just a mess at the beginning, with no plan, no fences, and nothing. It was roughly divided into different townships and li for Taiping Dao believers from different places to stop and rest. Just empty space. This is also one of the main reasons why Xun Zhen was able to break into it so easily last time.

Possibly eating a moat and gaining wisdom. After the last pass, Bo learned his lesson. Yesterday afternoon and today during the day, he organized a group of people to dig a trench on the outermost side of the "camp". It's a pity that the rabble is a rabble. Because of the lack of discipline and the lack of strict military discipline, the trenches are dug in different depths.

Xun Zhen had already seen it clearly when he was in the city. After crossing the suspension bridge, he didn't hesitate at all, turned his horse's head slightly, and headed straight for a few hundred paces to the south.

The trenches here are the shallowest, dug less than a foot deep, and at most two feet wide. No good horses are needed, and ordinary horses can jump over them. The team of Yellow Turban knights who came to harass the city just now passed from here and returned from here.

The sixty cavalry jumped over the shallow ditch, like a wolf like a tiger, and rushed into the outermost camp of the Yellow Turbans.

…

From when they left the city, to when they crossed the moat, to when they jumped over the ravine and rushed into the camp, the whole process took less than a quarter of an hour.

There were about 200 or 300 Yellow Turban soldiers in this camp. Most of them just lay down because they made way for the Yellow Turban Knights who were harassing the city. Yi Xunzhen wanted to come, one of them was caught off guard, and the other was sleepy, it should be easy to settle down this camp.

It's really easy.

Sixty riders formed an offensive formation, ten men in a team, divided into five teams, with Xun Zhen, Xu Zhong, and Liu Deng at the front, like a sharp blade with a rake, it was like destroying the dead and pulling the rot. The camp was plowed in less than half an hour.

Half of the two or three hundred Yellow Turban soldiers were killed or injured, and the rest were rolling and crawling, crying for their parents and calling their mothers, and fled in all directions.

Wen hired an iron spear, and Xin Ai followed closely behind Xun Zhen and the three of them. While watching over their backs, they took the opportunity to kill the lone Yellow Turban soldiers. Although he is young, he has practiced martial arts all the year round, and he has a lot of strength. He is skilled in riding and can also use a spear. He can kill three people in a short time. On a cold day, his blood was boiling, his cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't help shouting to kill.

Xun Zhen heard it clearly, and his shouting and killing was slightly trembling. Trembling, not because of fear. He had killed people before, so he wasn't afraid of seeing blood on his hands, but this feeling of "going deep into the enemy's line and enjoying himself" was something he had never experienced before, so it was inevitable that he would be excited.

Xun Zhen was at the front of the team, and the pressure was the greatest. That's the case. After hearing Wen Ping's shout, a thought popped into her mind during her busy schedule: "A young man who has not yet been crowned, first entered the battlefield, not because of fear, but because of fear. Excited. People are really incomparable, such as Zhicai, Gongda, and Wenruo, who are born intelligent, while others, such as Zhongye, are born to be generals.”

Whether a person can eventually become a talent, family education and growth environment are an important factor. It is undeniable that talent is also a factor.

The camp was quickly pierced.

There was no obvious separation between the camps of the Yellow Turbans. There was only a narrow open space. After passing through this open space, it was the next camp. The Yellow Turban soldiers in this second camp were similar to the previous camp, with two or three hundred people. They were caught off guard and were easily passed through. The galloping horses and the roaring warriors, sixty people rode past, leaving **** corpses all over the place.

Wen Ping and the others shouted and shouted happily.

Xun Zhen rode on the horse, listening to the wind behind his ears, watching the yellow turban soldiers flee, but he couldn't help but doubt in his heart: "The last time I attacked, I brought out more people than tonight, and this yellow turban army is not the same as tonight, As soon as they entered the battle, they fled everywhere."

Following the fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers, they rushed into the third camp.

The yellow turban soldiers who fled in front were scattered, and under the cold moonlight, hundreds of armored soldiers with spears appeared in front of them.

Xun Zhen knew something was wrong and wanted to rein in his horse and change careers, because he just rushed all the way too smoothly, Xu Zhong, Liu Deng, Wen Pin, Xin A, and dozens of guests were very close to him, less than two. Horse body, in a hurry, but it is difficult to change direction immediately, if forcibly change, it is very likely that the guests behind will be crowded and collided.

In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and rush forward. Galloping horses and armored men, spears to spears. It's like: the blade hits the shield.
