Chapter 73: 3 Yellow Turbans Vanished! Guan Hai is Dominated by Nightmares
Dian Wei naturally couldn't get a word in edgewise during the discussion between the Yellow Turban leaders and Yang Hong.
He volunteered and led the "captured" Yue Jin to a tent to rest.
They euphemistically called him a "prisoner" who was guarding Yue Jin.
Only when there was no one else around except Dian Wei did Yue Jin open his eyes.
"Hu~~"
"I was so suffocated!"
"Dian Wei, you reckless brute, couldn't you have gone a little easier?"
Le Jin retorted without holding back.
But Dian Wei just kept scratching his head, so Yue Jin had no choice but to give up and was too embarrassed to continue talking to him.
The two rested for a while.
At dawn, Yang Hong sent men to find Dian Wei.
Le Jin simply continued to pretend to be asleep.
Anyway, Yang Hong didn't intend to kill him, so Le Jin's life was not in danger as long as he stayed here.
After settling Yue Jin in, Dian Wei followed the guards to Yang Hong's location.
Upon seeing Dian Wei, Yang Hong smiled and kept praising Dian Wei's bravery.
In Yang Hong's opinion, he has really struck gold this time!
If such a brave Dian Wei were brought back and presented to our lord Yuan Shu, Yuan's camp would have one more great general from now on!
Dian Wei maintained his honest and simple persona and asked Yang Hong a question:
"Mr. Yang, I'm a little hungry. Could you give me a meal?"
Looking at Dian Wei's endearing expression, Yang Hong waved his hand.
Food is plentiful!
Dian Wei didn't stand on ceremony with Yang Hong and ate the food for three people.
Although the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were almost out of food.
But there is a good saying.
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
Several Yellow Turban leaders and high-ranking officials like Yang Hong did not need to worry about not having enough food.
Seeing that Dian Wei had eaten his fill, Yang Hong smiled and encouraged him.
Just then, Guan Hai sent someone over again.
Several Yellow Turban leaders agreed that tomorrow morning would be the best time to launch a surprise attack on Cao Cao's army camp!
Yang Hong naturally had no objections.
Although, he hoped it would be as soon as possible.
However, the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers was severely damaged because they had been unable to breach the border for a long time.
Guan Hai and others waited until tomorrow to send out their troops because they wanted to personally go out and boost the morale of their Yellow Turban soldiers today.
but.
Yang Hong and several other commanders were unaware of this.
After Dian Wei returned to his tent, several carrier pigeons flew over from a short distance and landed beside him.
Dian Wei took out a slip of paper and wrote something on it using specific symbols.
Because Dian Wei couldn't write, Su Yu discussed with him using symbols to represent dates.
The carrier pigeon technology for communication already existed during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Moreover, Yanzhou has been the province most skilled in using carrier pigeons since ancient times.
Cao Cao's army also kept a lot of carrier pigeons.
Watching several carrier pigeons fly into the distance, Dian Wei grinned.
With everything in place, we can only wait to raid the camp tomorrow!
……
next morning
The five Yellow Turban leaders took their positions.
Yang Hong was also fully armed and ready to fight.
Standing beside him were Qiao Rui and Dian Wei.
However, Dian Wei also brought along Yue Jin, who had been "captured".
Qiao Rui asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Dian Wei, what are you doing?"
Before Dian Wei could even speak, Yang Hong hurriedly reprimanded Qiao Rui.
"Qiao Rui! What do you know?"
"This scoundrel is a general in Cao Cao's camp. If we bring him along and kill him in front of all of Cao Cao's generals, it will surely boost morale!"
Qiao Rui quickly put on an expression of sudden realization.
Le Jin and Dian Wei suppressed their laughter, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with mockery towards Yang Hong and Qiao Rui.
The morning mist had not yet dissipated.
The surroundings were gray and hazy, filled with a sense of mystery.
The footsteps of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers naturally alerted Cao Cao's troops.
but.
The Yellow Turban leaders didn't try to hide anything.
In any case, they already knew the deployment of Cao Cao's camp.
The surprise attack on Cao Cao's camp was designed to catch him completely off guard!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
War drums sounded in unison, and soldiers from both sides quickly engaged in battle.
Several Yellow Turban leaders bravely charged forward, quickly routing Cao Cao's army.
"rush!!!"
Guan Hai shouted loudly, brandishing his long sword and displaying the demeanor of a great general.
Cao's army collapsed like a mountain.
Soon, the entire camp was captured by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels.
Guan Hai, hands on his hips like a victorious rooster, was the first to enter the largest tent in the camp.
But as soon as he stepped into the tent, he froze on the spot.
Inside the tent, there were flammable branches everywhere!
The tree branches were covered in kerosene!
Suddenly, Guan Hai's memory returned to seven years ago.
That year, Guan Hai, a newcomer to the martial arts world, became the top general under General Zhang Bao, thanks to his bravery.
Zhang Bao, as Zhang Jiao's second younger brother, was in charge of the conquest of the Yanzhou and Yuzhou regions.
In the early stages, Zhang Bao's advance was unstoppable, and a large number of cities in Yanzhou and Yuzhou fell to the enemy.
Even Zhang Mancheng, the Yellow Turban leader in Nanyang, and Bo Cai, the Yellow Turban leader in Yingchuan, were planning to join forces with Zhang Bao, gather tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, and sweep across the Central Plains!
But just as the three Yellow Turban armies converged...
The Han Dynasty's reinforcements have arrived!
The leader was named Huangfu Song.
The government troops and the Yellow Turbans eventually clashed at Changshe.
This is known to the world as the Battle of Chosha.
Guan Hai could never forget the brutality of that battle.
Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels perished in the flames!
Even Bo Cai, the Yellow Turban leader who commanded 100,000 troops, died in the fire.
Zhang Mancheng was wounded and fled, but was eventually caught up and annihilated by Sun Jian.
Zhang Bao lost more than half of his troops and fled back to Yanzhou in a sorry state with Guan Hai.
From then on, they lost their advantage on the battlefield in Yanzhou.
Although several years have passed.
Guan Hai still vividly remembers his miserable state back then!
If it weren't for that fire, perhaps... the massive Yellow Turban Rebellion wouldn't have been quelled within a year.
after all.
The lifespan of the leader Zhang Jiao was also closely related to the battle situation in various places.
His health had been on a downward spiral ever since the uprising began.
Upon learning that the Yellow Turbans had lost more than 200,000 soldiers in the battle in the Central Plains, Zhang Jiao's mood and physical condition naturally did not improve.
nowadays.
The fear that had gripped Guan Hai's heart once again overwhelmed him by that great fire!
Oil...twigs...
The simultaneous appearance of these two familiar items could only be a fire attack.
at the same time.
Outside the camp, the archers, who were already fully prepared and led by Xiahou Yuan, had all switched to flaming arrows.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The archers' target was not the Yellow Turban soldiers pouring into the camp, but the tents piled with oil and branches!
Flames rose fiercely.
The cries of sorrow, shouts, and bewilderment mingled together.
The tents piled with oil and branches, like cotton that would collapse at the slightest touch, instantly turned the entire camp into an inferno!
The Yellow Turban soldiers were thrown into complete chaos by the roar of the fire!
Let alone ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers.
Even several Yellow Turban leaders lost their composure.
Guan Hai, the only one with any sense, sat on the ground, bewildered.
The nightmare of the Battle of Chosha is coming back to haunt him once again!
Three hundred thousand Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou?
Outside the camp, Su Yu snapped his fingers.
It will all vanish into thin air!
