Guo Peng took his mission, ignited a thousand troops and corresponding weapons, and slowly headed towards the camp where he was about to attack with food.

The first time he led his troops alone to fight, although he had only one thousand men under his command, he still maintained a high level of tension and alertness. The whistle cavalry dispersed and searched for news everywhere. No one in the entire army was not ready for the battle.

The Yellow Turban Army camp where he was responsible for the attack was on a hill, camping along the hills, in a condescending state. Standing on the hills, you can see Guangzong County, with a very good terrain.

When Guo Peng marched, he happened to encounter a Yellow Turban Army of about 500 people coming down from the camp on the hill.

So Guo Peng immediately led his cavalry to rush over. The encounter on the plains made the Yellow Turban Army defeated the Changshui Cavalry.

Guo Peng killed more than a dozen people and destroyed the small army. About a few dozen of them escaped.

Guo Peng captured more than a dozen people alive, and asked them about the information about the Yellow Turban Army and some food and fodder in the camp, as well as some information about where to fetch water from in daily life and where to chop wood.

Then Guo Peng ordered them all to be killed.

After achieving this good start, the confidence of the entire army has been significantly improved, and the newly joined Guo Peng's army has also gained a higher degree of obedience to Guo Peng.

Afterwards, Guo Peng personally took people to observe the surrounding environment.

Then, the soldiers followed Guo Peng's command and marched steadily to the place designated by Guo Peng and began to set up camps.

The place where Guo Peng set up camp was next to the river where the Yellow Turban Army wanted to fetch water on the hills.

That's right, these people chose a hill without water and placed the camp on the hill.

There is only one mountain road on the mountain that can be walked, and there is a river at the foot of the mountain, so water is collected at the foot of the mountain, but there are no defense measures here.

They made the same mistake as Ma Su.

People can live for five to seven days without eating, depending on the body's fat reserves and can live longer, but if there is no water, they will be finished in three days.

Being condescending, the momentum is like a bamboo shoot.

Put it to death and live.

This is how the art of war says, but it is not used in this way.

Guo Peng looked at the Yellow Turban Army camp on the hill with mocking sarcasm, not intending to attack.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan came to Guo Peng's side.

"Brother, why don't you order the attack?"

The winning streak of successive battles seemed to have made Cao Ren think that he could win by attacking.

Xiahou Dun seemed to have the same idea.

"Zifeng, have you discovered anything?"

Xiahou Yuan looked at Guo Peng camping along the river, feeling that there seemed to be something worth noting.

Guo Peng nodded.

"There is only this river in a radius of several miles around, and there is only this road down the mountain. If they want to get water, they can only get it from here."

The few people looked at each other and immediately understood Guo Peng's approach.

Cut off the water source.

If a person can hold on for a few days without eating, it is really fatal if he doesn't drink water. Therefore, when he marches, battles, camps and camps, he basically chooses to be close to the water source, or simply include the water source, otherwise he will really not be able to survive.

At present, Guo Peng was stabbed by the Yellow Turban Army in the water supply route. If they wanted to get water, they had to pass through Guo Peng's camp. This was a problem.

Guo Peng ordered the army to dig ditches and set up camps to set up covers, and prepared defensive facilities at the foot of the mountain, waiting for them to come down from the mountain, and the five hundred cavalry were eyeing them, waiting for them to come down from the mountain to fight a field battle.

These talents have just been wiped out by Guo Peng, but now they don’t dare to come down.

Although they may have discovered that Guo Peng is cutting off their water source by doing so.

But fear of cavalry will make them afraid to come down.

You may not have to fetch water during the day. Isn’t it safer to fetch water at night?

Guo Peng thought so too.

So he ordered the army to take turns to sleep, half of them sleep during the day and half of them sleep at night, and always keep alert.

During the day that day, the Yellow Turban Army camp on the hills was on high alert, and the camp gate was closed tightly, and no one came down.

That night, in the first half of the night, no one came down.

In the second half of the night, the Yellow Turban Army on the mountain was in motion, and they came down to fetch water.

At this moment, Guo Peng was ambushing them with his troops. They ran to the river to start fetching water. Guo Peng decisively ordered rockets to be fired in the camp, and a sudden burst of shooting made them cry and howl.

Then the Han army camp started to clamor and beat the trumpets. The Yellow Turban Army, who was trying to attack, was in chaos and rushed to escape with great difficulty. The scene was in chaos.

However, Guo Peng did not lead the army to attack, but just ordered the army to shoot arrows.

Then he led his troops back to bed.

The next day, I saw that some of the Yellow Turban Army were shot to death, trampled to death, rolled down from the hill and smashed their heads on stones, and some of them drowned in the river.

There are three hundred and sixty-one corpses.

There was no casualties in the Han army.

The next afternoon, probably because he felt that the water was not enough, the Yellow Turban Army officer on the mountain opened the gate of the village and began to use the prepared wooden rocks to try to attack the Han army camp at the foot of the mountain.

As a result, the rolling distance was not enough, so I simply gave the rolling wood stone to the Han army as a weapon.

The commander of the Yellow Turban Army was probably stunned. In the end, he had no choice but to sit back and watch the entire army die of thirst, so he rushed down with the Yellow Turban Army to attack Guo Peng's camp.

Guo Peng was prepared and immediately ordered the army to shoot arrows, then the swordsman and the gunmen lined up to fight, fought with the Yellow Turban Army, and then the cavalry broke out.

The superior cavalry rushed back and forth two times. The Yellow Turban Army, which was more numerous than the Han army, collapsed and rushed to the mountain village and closed the gate to defend the village.

They really couldn't defeat the superior cavalry, and it was impossible to fight against the cavalry without forming an army. They could only be defeated and fled because the cavalry could not catch up to the mountain.

After the defeat and fleeing, the Han army infantry chased up the mountain. The Yellow Turban soldiers left behind in the camp on the mountain fired arrows to block the battle, and the Han army lost some manpower.

Seeing this, Guo Peng immediately ordered the Han infantry who attacked the mountain to retreat and not to attack with force. The advantage of this battle is that he does not need a forceful attack.

In this battle, the Han army killed more than 400 Yellow Turban Army, and the number of Yellow Turban Army dropped to about 1,500, but they did not get water.

Until the evening, the Yellow Turban Army organized several battles to go down the mountain to force water, but they were unsuccessful. They were repelled by the Han army's crossbows and cavalry, which consumed a lot of physical strength and water.

That night, they didn't dare to come down to get water. They probably were afraid of being ruthless and had no choice but to do anything.

During the third day, it was a sunny day, and the temperature was quite high. When the sun rose above my head, the Yellow Turban Army on the mountain sent people down, saying that they hoped to surrender to the Han army and ask the Han army to save their lives.

Guo Peng refused on the spot and beheaded the man in front of the man in the village, told the Yellow Turban Army on the mountain to wash his neck and prepare to die.

Cao Ren and others didn't understand why Guo Peng had to refuse flatly.

"Look at this person's lips, there is no dryness or skin. It can be seen that they still have water to drink, so these people are not really surrendering. If they are so thirsty that they can't really surrender, it is not now. What they call surrender is just a plan."

Cao Ren and others then understood Guo Peng’s intention.

In most cases, people will not give up the last glimmer of hope until they are over.

So the Han army continued to defend the camp and waited for the battle, cutting off the Yellow Turban Army's way to obtain water. After two days, the Yellow Turban Army went down the mountain twice to try to obtain water, and threw away more than 200 bodies and retreated to the mountain.

This time, Guo Peng felt that it was almost done.

The lips of the Yellow Turban soldiers who came down the mountain were chapped and peeled, which was obviously a sign of lack of water.
