Chapter 339: The misfortune is shifting the center of gravity
Chapter 338: The misfortune is shifting the center of gravity
Under the command of Qin Hao, the 25,000 Yanmen cavalry decisively bypassed Kaifeng and headed straight for Chenliu in the east.
Qin Hao ordered Yue Fei to lead five thousand elite cavalry as the pioneer to lead the way, and there were several county towns with few troops along the way, all of which were easily captured by Yue Fei and became food and supplies for the Yanmen cavalry.
The Lu Bu army in Kaifeng was shocked after receiving the order that Qin Hao gave up his combat plan and led his troops to Chenliu.
Liu Bei and Yu Juluo raised objections on the spot and firmly opposed going to Chenliu, but were forcibly suppressed by Lu Bu, the main general.
Although Lu Bu also felt that Qin Hao''s move was too dangerous, he finally decided to trust Qin Hao in order to repay Qin Hao''s trust in him.
Under Lu Bu''s leadership, the 20,000 Han cavalry coalition did not fight Huang Chao as planned, but instead evacuated in time and headed straight for Chenliu.
…
Kaifeng, Huangchao Camp.
"What? Lu Bu did not enter the ambush and persuade him, but instead led his troops to Chenliu?"
After receiving the news, Huang Chao subconsciously increased his voice.
Qin Hao guessed right. What awaited him here in Kaifeng was not a 100,000 army, but an ambush circle composed of a total of 30 armies. Once Qin Hao really led his troops in, it would definitely be a life-threatening death.
The Yellow Turbans'' combat plan was mainly based on Xiang Yu, and Zhang Jiao did not hesitate to concentrate the entire army''s elite troops into Xiang Yu''s army.
Even Zhu Wen, a subordinate of Huang Chao, was temporarily transferred to Xiang Yu''s command. It can be seen that the goal is very big and it is definitely not enough to satisfy the situation at Mengjin Pass. There must be follow-up plans.
Huang Chao''s mission this time was mainly to assist Xiang Yu, restrain the Han cavalry, and prevent Xiang Yu from retaking back to Mengjin Pass by the Han cavalry before his foothold was settled.
The difficulty of the task is not high for Huang Chao, and Huang Chao naturally has more than this appetite.
Previously, Huang Chao attacked Xiang Yu in a surprise attack, but although he exclaimed, it aroused Zhang Jiao''s dissatisfaction.
How could Zhang Jiao, who controlled Taipingwei, not know about Huang Chao''s little movement? Although Zhang Jiao didn''t say it, he was very disappointed with Huang Chao.
Afterwards, Zhang Jiao suppressed Huang Chao a series of suppression, rising openly and falling secretly, which made Huang Chao feel frightened.
Huang Chao didn''t think it was his fault to cheat Xiang Yu before. After all, Xiang Yu was planning to plot against him first. Huang Chao was just fighting back, but who knew that he backfired, which aroused Zhang Jiao''s strong disgust.
A mistake made all the previous efforts was wasted, which made Huang Chao feel extremely distressed.
Huang Chao is neither Zhang Jiao’s disciple nor the son-in-law of the Zhang family. The reason why Zhang Jiao was chosen as the heir was because of his contribution.
The Yellow Turbans’ uprising program, strategic planning, etc. were all drafted by Huang Chao. It is precisely because of these contributions that Huang Chao was able to get Zhang Jiao’s view and stand on the top of the generals of Qu.
However, in the previous battle in Yanzhou, Huang Chao was defeated by Lu Zhi and Cao Cao, and his prestige was no longer as good as before. Now, Zhang Jiao is even more dissatisfied, which makes Huang Chao''s future life extremely difficult.
Huang Chao knew that he could no longer remain silent. Qin Hao''s 50,000 cavalry was a great achievement that could help him get out of trouble.
The order Zhang Jiao issued to Huang Chao was just to hold back the Han cavalry. After all, the combat power of the Han cavalry is obvious to all. Even if the Yellow Turban really wants to be destroyed, the casualties will probably not be small at this time.
However, in Huang Chao''s eyes, as long as he commands properly, he can definitely wipe out the 50,000 Han cavalry with extremely small losses.
The contribution of eliminating 50,000 Han cavalry is no less than destroying 200,000 Han troops. Although it is still impossible to drink Xiang Yu''s plan, at least the gap has been narrowed.
If Xiang Yu really waits for that plan and Huang Chao himself is mediocre, there will be no chance again.
Huang Chao used his life to assure Zhang Jiao that he finally obtained permission to dispatch troops.
In order to ensure that Qin Hao could be wiped out 50,000 cavalry, Huang Chao transferred 200,000 troops around Chenliu and set up an ambush circle of 300,000 troops. Huang Chao was gambling with his future, and he could win this battle, but he never expected that Qin Hao would play so unreasonably.
He set up a feast for a large army of 300,000. When the war began, Qin Hao actually led the army and went to Chenliu.
Chenliu is not only the Yellow Turban Base Camp, but also one of the largest grain warehouses. Once it is captured by Qin Hao, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Such an important place is impossible to slack in defense, but in order to completely wipe out Qin Hao''s 50,000 troops, Chen Liu''s garrison was also mobilized by Huang Chao, and now only 40,000 defenders are left.
Now Chen Liu''s garrison is unprecedentedly weak, and Qin Hao is hitting Huang Chao directly. Once Chen Liu is defeated by Qin Hao, Huang Chao will become the Yellow Turban sinner.
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Chao was as calm as he could not help but feel panicked. Huang Chao forced himself to calm down quickly, and after communicating with the key points, he quickly issued an order.
"Send the order to order the defenders of the county towns around Chenliu to abandon their local area and concentrate on Chenliu''s guards."
The Yellow Turbans built five large grain warehouses in Yanzhou, and the largest one in Chenliu City was the largest.
In Huang Chao''s view, as long as Chenliu City is not lost, it doesn''t matter if other surrounding counties are lost.
Huang Chao felt a headache when he thought that Qin Hao''s 50,000 Han cavalry was about to rage in Yanzhou. Even if the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou were strong, they still had to catch up.
Huang Chao can rely on his huge advantages to build a large encirclement and then continue to shrink, thereby annihilating the Han army.
But it takes time to allocate such a large force. Who knows what will be sent during this period?
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Chao immediately ordered again.
"Immediately send a cavalry request for help to Hulao, saying that it will require 10,000 yuan. No, I want all the cavalry to be used in Chenliu to intercept and wipe out the Han cavalry."
Only the cavalry caught up with the cavalry, and until now, Huang Chao has not given up on the idea of ??annihilation of 50,000 cavalry.
Huang Chao is not afraid that Hulao will not provide him with surprise troops. After all, Qin Hao is rampant in Yanzhou, and the impact is not only Huang Chao.
What Huang Chao was afraid of was that the number of cavalry supported by Hulao Pass could not stop the Han cavalry.
Huang Chao didn''t know Xiang Yu''s specific plan, but he knew that this plan required a large number of cavalry.
The Yellow Turbans had only 50,000 cavalry in total, and if Xiang Yu had too much demand for cavalry, there would not be too many cavalry to support him.
Of course, these are not something Huang Chao can consider now. The only thing he can do now is to stop Qin Hao with all his might.
…
Just as Huang Chao was upset about Qin Hao''s affairs, the Luoyang court was also in trouble because of Xiang Yu.
Mengjin Pass was captured by Xiang Yu, which means that only a small Pingjin was left between Luoyang and the Yellow Turbans.
Although Xiaopingjin has a small character, it is actually not small at all, but this does not bring enough security to the Luoyang court.
The time for the Yellow Turbans to take down Mengjin Pass was still short and they had not yet been able to transport enough troops, so the Han Dynasty still had a chance to retake Mengjin Pass.
The Luoyang court made up its mind to regain Mengjin Pass. In the end, General He Jin led a large army of 300,000 to regain Mengjin Pass with all his strength.
The focus of the match between the Yellow Turban and the Han Dynasty also moved from Hulao Pass to Mengjin Pass.
?This prelude before the decisive battle is really difficult to write, and there are some clues recently.
