Chapter 384

Hulao pass.

"General, according to intelligence, Xu he has captured Puyang and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to gather in the West. Moreover, he has sent Sima Ji, the number one general under his command, as the vanguard, and has captured jujube a few days ago." Jia Xu said.

Liu Ye asked, "Sima is afraid? How many soldiers and horses did he take with him when he took advantage of sour jujube

"About forty or fifty thousand."

Liu Ye smiles: "a vanguard has used 50000 troops. Xu he is really rich."

Jia Xu said: "although the number of hundreds of thousands of troops is large, the speed of mobilization is extremely slow. Since Sima fear has already taken advantage of sour jujube, our army might as well gather troops and horses, eliminate Sima fear first, and give Xu and yellow turban bandits a power."

Liu Ye nodded and his eyes were sharp: "yes, there are many yellow turban thieves. Now there are 50000 people. When the enemy forces gather together, it will be more difficult to defeat them."

"General can order General Ma Chao..." Jia Xu's voice dropped.

Liu Ye's eyes brightened: "OK, that's it!"

Sour jujube is a small city, but its geographical location is very important. It is located at the junction of Shili Xiaowei department and Yanzhou. When the princes gathered to attack Dong Zhuo, soldiers and horses set up camp in suanzao.

Sima was afraid of the 10th day of July, when he had just captured the jujube, he immediately ordered the army to burn, kill and plunder. Ding Zhuang's men wrapped up the thieves and seized the gold and silver in their hands.

"Sima Shuai, the Han Army in the direction of Hulao pass will go out and develop to our army."

Hearing the report of the Scouts under the tent, Sima Wei immediately stood up.

"Good! I don't want to go to Liu Ye's trouble, but Liu Ye has sent him to the door by himself Sima was ambitious: "in this case, order the whole army to attack and defeat Liu Ye at one go, so that Xu Shuai can save his strength!"

"Sima Shuai, no!"

The aides under the tent hastily dissuaded him: "Xu Shuai once told Sima Shuai not to attack rashly. When Xu Shuai arrived, he would send troops together. In case of any accident, how could Sima Shuai explain to Xu Shuai?"

"Well? I'm going to have an accident? " Sima is afraid of two eyes one pedal, dissatisfied way.

With a bitter face on his face, his staff quickly waved his hand: "no, it's not that Sima Shuai will make mistakes, but that Xu Shuai has an account. Sima Shuai, you can listen to my advice and stick to the jujube."

Sima was afraid to hum a voice: "just, listen to you today, some in sour jujube waiting for you."

The Han Army marched very fast and arrived outside the city of sour jujube at noon the next day.

Sima was standing on the top of the city. He could see that the number of Han troops outside the city was about 20000, and a flag with the character of Liu was flying in the wind.

"Sima is afraid! Don't you dare to come down and fight our army to death? "

"Ha ha, how dare he? He's a tortoise, he's a coward. "

"That is to say, Sima Wei was frightened to hear the name of Liu Che, and his whole body trembled with tears."

Liu Ye specially selected dozens of loud voice soldiers, shouting and scolding under the sour jujube city. Sima was very angry when he heard it.

Sima's fists clenched tightly, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out one by one, and his neck was flushed.

"This hateful Liu Ye should have underestimated me so much. How can I bear it?"

One side of the staff rushed forward and grabbed Sima fear: "Sima Shuai, no way! Xu Shuai explained something before he left...

"go away!"

Sima was very angry. He shook off his weak aides and roared: "open the city gate. Today, I will defeat Liu Ye!"

With Sima's command, the gate of the city suddenly opened slowly. Fifty thousand yellow turban thieves filed out and the dust was noisy.

These 50000 yellow turban thieves are not what they used to be. They plundered military equipment from the arsenals of various cities in Yanzhou Prefecture and county. They were armed with swords, guns and large shields, especially the middle army of Sima Ji. They were very elite.

Seeing the flood of 50000 yellow turban thieves, dozens of Han soldiers who were swearing under the city rushed back.

Liu Ye saw that Sima was finally leading the army out. He immediately whipped his whip and said in a loud voice, "Sima, how did you get out of the city? Ben thought you were too scared to come out. "

Sima afraid sneered: "Liu Yuqing, a strong army under your command, less than half of our army, is it not your own way to die?"

Liu Ye laughed: "Liu Bang's 560000 army was defeated by King Xiang's 30000 troops in Pengcheng. What's more, when someone was in Qingzhou, he had no more than a thousand troops under his command, and defeated tens of thousands of Xu he's troops. What are you?"

Sima Ji snorted and drew his sword out of his sheath: "the whole army will attack and defeat the Han army. When Luoyang is captured, we will all be meritorious officials from the dragon!"

"Kill!"

In the yellow scarf thief's army, the earth shaking cry of killing broke out, and the momentum like a rainbow killed the past.

In the past few months, the Yellow turban thieves have been attacking Yanzhou and Qingzhou as if they were on the ground. They are basically invincible. Moreover, the 50000 yellow turban thieves are not Xu he's headquarters defeated by Liu Ye, and they have no fear of Liu Ye.Seeing the 50000 yellow scarf thieves killed with real weapons, Liu Ye did not dare to neglect.

"The whole army is not allowed to attack without authorization."

In the face of the 50000 yellow turban thieves, Liu Ye did not order the whole army to attack, but insisted on not fighting.

Liu Ye was in charge of the Chinese army, while Yu Jin and Zhang jaw were personally in charge of the front line.

Fifty thousand yellow turban bandits swarmed in, and their momentum was like a raging tide. However, Yu Jin and Zhang jaw had experienced many battles. They followed Liu Ye in the early years to invade the Yellow turban thieves, and they had rich experience in fighting against them.

"Pull the bow and string it up!" he said

The archers in the Han Army array set up their bows and aimed at the yellow scarf thieves in front of them, and a shower of arrows flew out.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, there was no scream as expected. Instead, there was a dull noise. The Yellow turban thieves who rushed in the front row erected the large shields captured from the army's arsenals one by one. Most of the bows and arrows fired by the officers and soldiers hit the shields, only a few of them shot through the gap between the shields.

Yu ban frowned: "shield wall array, Spearman preparation."

I can't imagine that the Yellow turban bandits are now changing their guns. It seems that the previous experience in fighting against the Yellow turban thieves is not desirable. Yu Jin's heart says.

There are only three shots in front of the attack. Archers do little damage to the Yellow turban thieves. The three rounds of arrow rain can only kill hundreds of people, and the Yellow turban thieves have already killed them.

"Go to battle!"

The yellow scarf thief in the front row instantly put up his shield, replaced it with a spear and killed him instantly.

"Raise the shield!"

"Spear out!"

Pooh! Thousands of spears suddenly burst out of the army, and the sharp spears thrust into the body of the yellow scarf thief in an instant, and hundreds of people fell to the ground.
