Chapter 75: Ambush

"My lord, I'm back, and I've brought a large group of people here." A few days later, Ling Cao came back and said happily.

"Big team?" Zhang Yu asked suspiciously while studying the situation in the tent.

"Yes, Zhicai trains 5,000 troops, so I brought 3,000 here." Ling Cao said happily.

"What? So many, three thousand soldiers?"

When Zhang Yu heard this, he stood up in surprise and asked excitedly.

"That's right, it's exactly 3,000 soldiers and horses, but they only completed basic training, so they can't compare with the veterans before." Ling Cao said.

"Haha, no matter how incomparable, it is a regular army that has undergone formal training. Besides, the battlefield is the best way to train people. It doesn't take a few battles for this group of recruits to grow up."

Zhang Yu was very happy. The yellow scarves are not strong, so they are good candidates for training soldiers. It is best to use them to train recruits.

"Okay, Zhicai has made a great contribution. In this way, we have more than 6,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, which is much easier." Zhang Yu said happily

It turned out that Xi Zhicai was also aware of his weakness in military strength, so he recruited soldiers there a lot, and then carried out rigorous training.

During training, each soldier barely sleeps for three or four hours a day.

When the food was delicious and the military salary was high, the recruitment of soldiers was also very fast, and Xi Zhicai quickly recruited 5,000 soldiers.

If it weren't for Xi Zhicai's lack of manpower and not enough people to take care of him, he could recruit more soldiers.

In this era, it is a luxury to be able to eat, and besides the delicious food, Xi Zhicai also gave a one-off settling allowance of 300 yuan, so the number of applicants quickly reached the requirement.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt how lucky it is to have several high-level talents under his command.

Zhang Yu immediately asked Huang Zhong to be called.

"Han Sheng, we have finished our rest now, so I plan to bypass Runan and go to the area from Yingchuan to Luoyang. Do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Yu said, pointing to the map he drew.

Huang Zhong took a look and said, "My lord, the area from Runan to Luoyang in Yingchuan is the supply line for the Yellow Turbans. We can ambush them once or twice on the road first, and then go to Yingchuan to meet the officers and soldiers."

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Han Sheng is right. Runan will transport a large number of soldiers and food to the front line. Before they know our existence, the ambush has a great chance of success."

The three discussed for a while, and then decided to find a place far away from Runan to ambush them first, and then go to join the army of the imperial court.

Zhang Yu exchanged another thousand bows and arrows for soldiers to increase long-range strikes.

Bows and arrows are good weapons for sneak attack. Before rushing to kill, there are a few rounds of arrow rain in a hurry. Not to mention the damage, it can also mess up the enemy's formation, and then kill them.

It was already the end of March at this time, and Zhang Yu led more than 6,000 soldiers, and there were two generals on the left and right.

Bypassing Runan, Zhang Yu searched for small paths and tried to avoid the Yellow Turbans.

It took five days to leave, and five days later it was already the third day of April. At this time, General Zhu Jun was also leading the army on the way to Yingchuan.

"My lord, although there are Yellow Turbans around here who are constantly transporting food and grass soldiers to the front line, they are all small troops. If we want to attack them and expose us, it is really worthless." Zhang Yu and the others kept collecting information along the way, but they did not find the Yellow Turbans. large force activities.

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "At this time, the yellow turban is in full bloom, and the attack is invincible. There is no resistance, and the front line is naturally not tight, so there is no need to transport soldiers and food on a large scale."

Huang Zhong on the side nodded in agreement with Zhang Yu's thoughts.

"Brother Zhang, why don't we find a place that is easy to ambush and hide first. I believe that the imperial court will counterattack soon. When the Yellow Turban front line is tight, we will have a chance."

Zhang Yu had no choice but to decide first, find a place to hide, and then let Ling Cao train his troops,

While gathering information.

A few days later, Zhang Yu and the others were all hairy hiding in the mountains, and the scouts finally brought good news.

"Master, in the direction of Runan, there are about 10,000 yellow scarves escorting a batch of grain and grass." The scout reported.

"Great, tell Ling Cao to stop training and get ready to work." After waiting for so many days, finally came, Zhang Yu was very happy.

Zhang Yu's army stopped training and asked the soldiers to rest and recover their strength.

The speed of the Yellow Turbans was not fast. When the scouts found them, they had just left Runan for two days.

Zhang Yu and the others waited for two days, and it was two days later that the Yellow Turban team approached the place where Zhang Yu and the others were in ambush.

"Ling Cao led people to block the back, Zhou Cang was on the side, I led people to the side, and Han Sheng led people to attack from the front." Zhang Yu began to assign tasks

"One thing everyone has to remember, once you start attacking, hit me hard, don't worry about it, and wash away these yellow scarves as soon as possible."

Zhang Yu must use the most violent fighting style and the fastest time to defeat these yellow scarves.

Because there are still many new recruits in Zhang Yu's team, if the new recruits fight for the first time, if they encounter rubbing, the casualties will be relatively large.

The plan has been made, and everyone entered an ambush.

Yellow Turban didn't know that he was being targeted, so he continued to follow the established route.

Generally, those who transported Yellow Turban grain and grass were Yellow Turban recruits, and the Yellow Turbans who joined the front line directly after delivery would not return, which is why Zhang Yu dared to take their ideas.

There is still a gap between the recruits of the Yellow Turban and Zhang Yu's recruits, which is enough to eliminate them

In the jungle, two thousand archers are ready.

"put."

"Five quick shots."

The Yellow Turban entered an ambush, and Zhang Yu held up the Overlord's Halberd and ordered an attack.

All of a sudden, more than two thousand ready-made archers poured arrows down from both sides.

The arrows landed on the heads of the Yellow Turbans, causing them heavy losses.

The Yellow Turbans had almost no armor protection, nor were they equipped with any shields, so the casualties were heavy.

In order to avoid the rain of arrows, the Yellow Turban ran around, and the formation immediately collapsed.

"kill."

Just after the rain of arrows, Zhang Yu rushed out with his men.

"Pfft~"

With a wave of the Overlord's Halberd, a Yellow Turban soldier was beheaded.

Zhang Yu's army all rushed out and rushed towards Huangjin.

The untouchable Yellow Turban is divided into several parts.

Zhang Yu swung his Overlord's Halberd, beckoning and drinking blood, killing ten people in one step, unstoppable.

Huang Zhong, who was blocking the front, was also full of murderous aura, like a tiger descending the mountain, extremely lonely and arrogant.

A violent charge was launched in several directions at the same time.

No one in the Yellow Turban can stop Zhang Yu and the other generals, even Zhou Cang is very brave.

After a fight, all the Yellow Turbans were wiped out, and all the food and grass they transported were taken away by Zhang Yu and the others.

"Haha, happy." After the battle, Huang Zhong wiped the blood from his hand, walked towards Zhang Yu, and said with a big laugh.

Huang Zhong is a man, born to be suitable for the battlefield, but he was always frustrated when he was young. It was not until he followed Liu Bei that he had the opportunity to often go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but now he met Zhang Yu ahead of schedule.
