Chapter 103 The Yellow Turbans of World War II (3)
On the hillside.
Li Zhi, who was watching the Yellow Turban camp on the hillside, frowned, a little puzzled that Zhang Mancheng did not come to fight, but instead led people to snipe the Wancheng officers and soldiers.
He asked Cao Cao on the side with some doubts: "Brother Meng De, have you ever seen this method of fighting?
Zhang Mancheng did not go to snipe the enemy's main force or quell the rebellion in the camp, but instead rushed towards Wancheng. What was he thinking?"
Cao Cao shook his head. He was also frowning at this time, staring closely at Zhang Mancheng's main force.
What Li Zhi asked was exactly what he was thinking, and he didn't know why Zhang Mancheng made such a stupid move.
However, Cao Cao knew that Zhang Mancheng was definitely not a mediocre person, otherwise he would not have become the Yellow Turban Commander, so there must be some trick involved.
Li Zhi looked at Zhang Mancheng's army, and then at Yang Ying who was attacking the Yellow Turban camp, and said thoughtfully: "What's the use of this Mancheng even if Wancheng was captured? His camp is not the same as mine."
capture?"
Speaking of this, Li Zhi suddenly changed his expression and said with an ugly expression: "Could it be...?!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he quickly asked him: "What did Xing Zhixian think of?!"
Li Zhimian said solemnly: "Zhang Mancheng may have guessed our plan, so he abandoned the other Yellow Turbans and led his men to occupy Wancheng in order to resist them!"
After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Cao Cao looked solemn and carefully observed Zhang Mancheng's trajectory.
Cao Cao said with a solemn expression: "I'm afraid my dear brother Xingzhi really guessed it right!"
Immediately, he pointed at Zhang Mancheng's army and said solemnly: "Look, dear brother, Zhang Mancheng was not willing to fight when he encountered the enemy. He just rushed towards Wancheng."
Li Zhi heard this and took a closer look. Isn't that exactly the case?!
I saw that after Zhang Mancheng met with the old general Huangfu, he didn't want to fight. He left as soon as they touched the old general Huangfu, and then just ran towards Wancheng.
Behind him, veteran general Huangfu was leading his army to chase Zhang Mancheng's army.
Seeing this, Li Zhi said bitterly: "Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately abandoned his subordinates and fled for his life. Zhang Mancheng is really cunning and vicious!
These are tens of thousands of soldiers, so he is willing to give them up!"
"not good!"
Just when Li Zhi was furious, he heard Cao Cao yell.
Li Zhi heard some panic in his voice and asked hurriedly: "What did Brother Meng De think of?"
Cao Cao looked at the city gate and said with worry: "Old General Huangfu is following closely behind the Yellow Turban army. I am afraid that if the Yellow Turbans enter the city, the old general will also follow."
At this point, Cao Cao's face became more worried: "When the time comes, the old general will have few people, so he may not be Zhang Mancheng's opponent!"
When Li Zhi heard this, he also frowned and turned to look at the battlefield.
See, it is indeed the case. Old General Huangfu is clinging to Zhang Mancheng's army as if he is crazy, and he seems to be fighting to the death.
Seeing this, Li Zhi did not dare to neglect and said urgently to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, quickly send the two Xiahou brothers to assist the old general and persuade him to come back. Hurry up! Otherwise it will be too late!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded solemnly, then turned around and ran back.
At this time, the army led by Yang Ying was attacking the Yellow Turban camp.
However, when Yang Ying attacked the Yellow Turban camp, he felt that the defense of the Yellow Turban camp was very weak. With just a cup of tea, Yang Ying broke into the camp and joined Xu Huang's army.
After seeing Xu Huang, Yang Ying frowned and asked in confusion: "Brother Gongming, what happened in the Yellow Turban camp? Why is the resistance so weak?"
Xu Huang also frowned, looking at the yellow scarf who was killed by his subordinates and was peeing in the distance, and he was also confused in his heart.
A few days ago, he saw that when the Yellow Turbans were attacking the city, the Yellow Turban thieves were all vigorous and energetic, but today they were running around like a flock of lambs, ready to be slaughtered.
Suddenly, Xu Huang seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Zhang Mancheng's camp.
Seeing that the flag of Zhang Mancheng's camp was no longer there, Xu Huang's expression changed and he said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid we fell into a trap and Zhang Mancheng ran away!"
Yang Ying's expression changed after hearing this, and she quickly looked towards Zhang Mancheng's camp and saw that it was indeed the case.
Yang Ying looked at the empty camp in disbelief and asked Xu Huang: "There is not much difference between us and the enemy. The Yellow Turban troops are far more powerful than us. Why did Zhang Mancheng escape?"
Hearing Yang Ying's question, Xu Huang was also a little puzzled.
Zhang Mancheng's strength is no worse than theirs, and because he has more people, he has an advantage. Why did he lead his people to escape before the war started?
When Xu Huang was puzzled, he accidentally glanced at Wancheng. When he saw Wancheng, his face changed drastically and he said anxiously: "No! Zhang Mancheng was afraid that he had no chance of winning, so he came.
The strong man cuts off his wrist!"
Yang Ying didn't understand yet, so she asked: "Brother Gongming, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Huang flicked his horse whip bitterly, looked at Wancheng and said: "That Zhang Mancheng must have seen our three armies advancing together, which made him unable to look at each other.
Seeing how urgent our offensive was, Zhang Mancheng thought that we were sure of victory, so he did not dare to fight.
He led his troops to attack Wancheng, presumably because he wanted to capture Wancheng and use the city's strength to retreat the enemy!"
After explaining to Yang Ying, Xu Huang stared at Wancheng with an angry face, gritted his teeth and said: "This Mancheng has such a cruel heart. He throws away these hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves without thinking about the feelings of his comrades at all."
, it’s really abominable!”
"Hey Hey…"
At this time, Yang Ying burst out laughing after listening to Xu Huang's explanation.
Xu Huang turned to look at Yang Ying who was laughing, and asked doubtfully: "Why is Boxiong laughing?"
Hearing Xu Huang's inquiry, Yang Ying said with a smile: "I laughed at this Mancheng and thought he was an idiot!
If he doesn't abandon these yellow scarves and fight to the death with us, only God knows who will win and who will lose in this battle.
However, I think about it, as long as nothing happens, we only have a 40% chance of winning!
But now he is seeking death and giving away these hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves to others. What is this man if he is not a fool?!"
"Huh? Hahaha...!" Xu Huang was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly, and said while laughing: "What Boxiong said is absolutely true! This Mancheng is really a fool!"
While the two of them were talking, a guard came and reported to Xu Huang: "Report to the general! The lord has an order, and the general is ordered to do so."
Quickly take our troops to Wancheng to rescue Old General Huangfu!"
When Xu Huang heard this, he patted his forehead and complained to himself: "Somehow I forgot about old General Huangfu!"
After saying that, Xu Huang shouted loudly to his subordinates: "My general orders, don't be reluctant to fight, leave the battlefield quickly, and march towards Wancheng!"
When the soldiers who were massacring the Yellow Turbans heard General Xu Huang's order, they immediately stopped, turned around and rushed towards Wancheng.
At this time, Old General Huangfu was leading everyone to chase Zhang Mancheng.
However, whenever the old general caught up with the main force of the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Mancheng would abandon some people and ask them to fight to the death to stop the old general Huangfu, thinking that the army had lost its rear.
After the old general Huangfu led his army to kill these people, Zhang Mancheng's army had already fled far away.
Although he was able to kill some Yellow Turbans every time, Zhang Mancheng's army escaped each time. The repeated failures made the old general furious.
Just after the old general caught up with Zhang Mancheng's army again, he saw that Zhang Mancheng had abandoned some of his people, so he ordered: "Leave some people to kill the Yellow Turbans, and the rest will follow me to chase!"
After saying that, without even looking at the abandoned yellow scarves, he quickly whipped his horse and chased Zhang Mancheng's army closely.
At this moment, Zhang Mancheng's leading troops had entered the city.
Because the old general did not close the city gate when he went out to fight, Zhang Mancheng captured Wancheng easily.
When the old general Huangfu who was chasing him saw this, he became extremely angry and shouted: "Hurry up and chase!"
After saying that, he picked up the sword and slapped the horse's butt hard, then the horse roared and flew away.
At this time, Zhang Mancheng was already standing on the top of the city, watching the old general Huangfu who was following him, catching up with the yellow turban men who had not yet come in, and with a cold face, he ordered a yellow turban leader on the side: "Close the city.
Door!"
The man was shocked when he heard this and exclaimed: "Qu Shuai! There are still brothers like me below the city who haven't come in!"
Zhang Mancheng suddenly turned his head, stared at the man, and said word by word: "I want you to close the city gate!"
The yellow scarf leader looked at Zhang Mancheng's ferocious face and was a little at a loss. He said tremblingly: "But... but under the city..."
"puff!"
Before the man could finish speaking, Zhang Mancheng beheaded him with a knife and said to the other man expressionlessly: "Go and close the city gate!"
"Here..."
The person named by Zhang Mancheng felt weak all over, and after trembling in response, he hurriedly ran towards the city gate.
"snort!"
Zhang Mancheng snorted coldly, glanced at the corpse on the ground casually, then ignored it, turned his head, and continued to look at the city gate.
At this time, Wancheng's city gate slowly closed, and Huangjin, who had not yet entered the city, shouted loudly toward the top of the city: "Qushuai, open the door! We are loyal to Qushuai, and Qushuai cannot abandon me."
ah!"
Zhang Mancheng looked at the man shouting from the city and replied expressionlessly: "Since you have joined the Yellow Turban, you must obey the orders of this commander-in-chief.
Now, I command you to turn around and kill the officers and soldiers behind you.
