"Xu Shuai, now that the grain and grass have been lost and the army has no fighting spirit, or we will take advantage of the night to confuse the Han Army in the city by hanging sheep and beating drums. Shall we retreat?"
Zhou Su heard that the food and grass of Dingtao camp was completely burned by the enemy, and his face suddenly changed. Then he suggested.
Xu He snorted: "retreat? The grain and grass in Dingtao camp have been burned up. Where can we escape? "
Zhou Su tried to persuade him: "although the grain and grass stored in Dingtao camp were burned, we can still have 12 / 10 left. In a big deal, we will break up into parts and go back to the mountains and forests to have a good time..."
"no way!" When Xu he heard this sentence, his face suddenly became angry: "it was not easy for me to kill him from the deep mountain. Now how can we retreat in a gray way? Absolutely not!"
Zhou Su said with a bitter smile, "what do you want to do with Xu Shuai?"
Xu he lowered his head to think for a time, and suddenly raised his head.
"Isn't King Xiang going down the drain and the giant deer won? Now that the grain and grass have been burned, our army's cauldron has also been smashed. In this case, we will do our best to fight the enemy! "
Zhou Su frowned and said, "but Xu Shuai, the news that Dingtao's grain and grass was burned has been spread to the army, and now many people have fled..." although Xu he's subordinates are known as more than 100000 troops, most of them are from Yanzhou. Many of them were originally strong men who were farmers at home. They were caught for no reason. Their sense of belonging to the yellow scarf thieves was not strong at all I heard that I didn't have to eat, so I ran away.
"Hum, these Yanzhou people are really unreliable." Xu and hummed: "however, it's good to run, so there's no need to give them food."
"I will order 30000 soldiers of the Chinese army to eat and drink, and fight the Han Army to death today." Xu he's eyes twinkle with determination.
Xu he also knew that Yanzhou soldiers didn't have a strong sense of belonging, so they seldom used their own lineage to attack suanzaocheng. Generally, the legitimate troops served as the supervisors and ordered Yanzhou soldiers to attack suanzaocheng. Therefore, elite troops still existed.
Zhou Su heard this, a little silent, boxing way: "no!" Having said that, Zhou Su stepped out of the camp and ordered the logistics camp to cook, so that the soldiers had a good meal.
The situation in the jujube camp was also seen by the Han Army on the head of the city.
Jia Xu rushed into the command post with three points of joy on his face.
"General! According to the report from the spies at the head of the city, Xu he's army is unstable, and a large number of soldiers have fled in succession. It seems that general Zhang jaw has already... "
" good! "
With a smile on his face, Liu Ye unfolds a letter in his hand, which is written by Zhang jaw himself.
Liu Ye said with a smile: "the letter from Xiao Yi just arrived. He learned from the Yellow turban bandit's grain transportation team that the food and grass of the Yellow turban thieves were stored in Dingtao. Therefore, he made a decisive surprise attack at night. Most of the grain and grass in Dingtao camp were burned, and Xu Dun, Xu he's younger brother, was killed on the spot. He didn't stop the enemy's deserters. It is estimated that the news has already reached Xu he's army."
Jia Xu said eagerly: "general, there is no time to lose. Xu he's army has already broken down, which shows that the morale of the army is gradually collapsing. If our army gathers a large army at this moment and launches a thunderbolt attack at one point, the enemy will surely collapse!"
"Xu he's troops are all gathered here. If we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop today, we can take advantage of the situation to recover Yanzhou and wipe out the Central Plains. If Xu he runs away tonight, it would be terrible." Jia Xu warned.
Liu Ye's eyes were firm: "well, in this case, I will order the soldiers to have a good meal, and the elite soldiers will go out to war."
"Command the soldiers at the head of the city to burn the beacon fire and inform Mengqi and the Ming Dynasty to come to fight."
"No!"
With the mobilization order issued by Liu Ye, the whole city of sour jujube was immediately mobilized. All the soldiers in the city had a good meal. In addition to the soldiers who died and were seriously injured in the battle these days, there were 12000 soldiers in the city.
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
The sound of war drums in the city was like thunder falling on the earth and roaring. The gate of sour jujube city opened slowly. Under the guidance of Liu zishuai banner, 12000 Han troops filed out.
Under the banner of Liu zishuai, Liu Ye is dressed all over his body. The scarlet Cape behind him is bright red. It is like a flame burning in the dark night, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
At the same time, numerous beacon fires were lit up on the top of the city. The flaming flames lit up the surrounding area of Zizyphus jujuba City, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.
In recent days, Liu Ye has been in the sour jujube city, and has not personally fought against him. However, his prestige in the army is incomparable. As long as 12000 soldiers see the red figure, they will have a firm sense of war.
"Drum, trumpet!"
The heavy drums and the bleak and unsophisticated oxhorn horn are the signals of the Han Army inviting war against the Yellow turban thieves.
Soon, the Yellow turban bandit camp also sounded the sound of drums and trumpets, responding to the challenge of the Han army.
The gate of the Yellow turban bandits' camp was also wide open. Thirty thousand yellow turban thieves' soldiers came out of the camp gate. Every ten thousand people formed a square array, just three military formations were arranged in one word, serving as the central army, the left wing and the right wing respectively.
Although the formation of yellow scarves is still more powerful than the 12000 strong Han Army, it is much weaker than the overwhelming encirclement of jujube city by more than 100000 troops a few days ago.Liu Ye took the lead and personally took a deep breath and a big drink.
"Traitor Xu he! The grain and grass in Dingtao camp has been burned. Are you still going to be captured
Good guy, this is like a thunderbolt. In the front row of the newly formed cavalry team of 2000 yellow turban thieves, there is a horse in the front row, which makes a snort of fear. The yellow scarf rider on the horse's back turns pale and grabs the reins with both hands. This is not easy to control the horse under his hip.
Xu He disdainfully snorted: "brave man."
"Liu Ye! What kind of man are you in jujube city? If we have the courage today, let's show off our chariots and horses and have a real fight! "
After Xu he said this, he yelled to the Yellow turban thief's soldiers: "listen up, everyone. As long as we can defeat the Han Army today, our army will be able to get enough food and grass, and then we will command Hulao pass to defeat Luoyang!"
Zhou Su also cried out: "heaven is dead, Huangtian should stand."
"If you are in Jiazi, the world will be very lucky."
Perhaps it was this slogan that once aroused the morale of the Yellow turban thieves. The morale of 30000 yellow turban thieves was uplifted, and driven by the sound of war drums, they moved forward slowly.
"March
The Drummers of the Han Army and the Yellow turban army fought hard to beat the drums. The sound of the drums of the two armies lasted for a long time. All the more than 40000 soldiers on the battlefield were boiling with blood, holding their weapons tightly in their hands and staring at the enemy in the opposite direction.
