Those fighting with the officers and soldiers were not only the elites of the Yellow Turban Army, but also the families of the Yellow Turban Army, whom Peng Tuo called the offline Yellow Turban Army.
"With the stick in hand, I have the world." This is how Bo Cai preached his theory of stick riots to the Yellow Turban Army in Yangzhai City. Later, seeing that the Yellow Turban Army down the line was dubious, he added another sentence: Too many ants will kill the elephant.
What makes the offline Yellow Turban Army fearless of death is actually the murder reward stimulation method invented by Peng Tuo. As soon as the incentive measures were implemented, the entire Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan almost went crazy for it. In their eyes, officers and soldiers are no longer officers and soldiers. It's money, food, and official position.
In the month since the rebellion, Bocai and Peng Tuo have led more and more Yellow Turbans, and the Yellow Turbans have become more and more crazy, going wherever they go, killing there; killing there, and grabbing there.
Because at the beginning, there were hundreds of times the Yellow Turban Army, and they were dealing with officers and soldiers from one county and one pavilion. The absolute advantage of numbers and overwhelming strength made the Yellow Turban Army more courageous and their skills seemed much more agile. Often one or two offline Yellow Turbans can deal with a single frustrated officer and soldier.
The experience of one county and one township made Bo Cai, Peng Tuo and other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army believe that the strength of the Yellow Turban Army was similar to that of the officers and soldiers. But in terms of courage and courage, it is much greater and is taken for granted.
With this understanding, Peng Tuo, Huang Shao and others dared to command the Yellow Turban Army and fought desperately with the officers and soldiers after Huangfu Song's army pressed forward. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans here. As for the officers and soldiers, it seems that there are no more than 40,000 people.
100,000 people versus 40,000 people, even if they cannot win a big victory, they will not suffer a big defeat. Peng Tuo and Huang Shao's stereotyped thinking harmed the 100,000 Yellow Turban troops who went on this expedition.
Xiao Yang's cone-shaped formation was like a sharp knife, fiercely cutting into the Yellow Turban Army, rushing left and right. And Xiao Yang, Ruan Lie, Wenpin, Zhu Shou, Li Xing, Li Da, plus Liu Tang who just arrived, seven people and seven horses, three guns and four swords, are the sharpest knives among these sharp knives.
?????????????????????? What if Peng Tuo and Huang Shao organized the elite of the Yellow Turban Army? They risked their lives to desperately resist Xiao Yang and others. It is estimated that they can resist for a while longer.
But Peng Tuo and Huang Shao missed the best opportunity.
When the entire Yellow Turban Army team watched the match between He Man and Wenpin, the elite Yellow Turban Army soldiers and the downline Yellow Turban Army soldiers were scattered and mixed together. You have me I have you. (Don¡¯t think wrongly, you will spend a month alone.) The entire crowd was very confused.
After Peng Tuo heard the rushing hooves of Xiahou Dun's cavalry, he immediately summoned the elite of the Yellow Turban Army. Not at the front of the line, but at the back.
What he summoned were 10,000 elite men under him. As for Huang Shao's subordinates, He Man's subordinates. Peng Tuo had more than enough ambition but not enough power, and it was too late to convene an organization.
After just staying behind the entire team for a while, Peng Tuo felt that something was wrong. Why did so many of the yellow turbans in front fall down? Just like leeks that have been cut down, they fall down one after another.
Peng Tuo no longer dared to conserve his strength, so he led 10,000 elite troops, pushed aside the others, and advanced to fight. At this time, there was no need for Peng Tuo to ward off the crowd. Some of the offline Yellow Turbans and the elite Yellow Turbans who were afraid of being killed in front of them have become frightened and are looking for a way out, running away without their lives.
Whether they are the elite of the Yellow Turban Army or the so-called lower-line Yellow Turban Army by Peng Tuo, their predecessors are basically farmers who turned their backs to the loess and their faces to the sky. He has never had the habit of killing people, nor has he undergone any systematic military training.
Front, back, left, and right, it is estimated that most of them will not be able to do well during the march. When these people are fighting against the odds, they can also do things to add icing on the cake and increase their momentum.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When things do not go as desired, and the beginning is unfavorable, there will be a drum in the heart, a feeling of suspicion, and a fear of the hands and feet. Then there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, hesitating. When the situation becomes more and more unfavorable, everyone will fall down the tree and disperse the hozen, push down the wall, shout, blow up the next camp, and disperse in a crowd, wolves running like wolves.
On the battlefield, the Yellow Turban Army that Peng Tuo talked about showed such signs. First came dozens and dozens, the old and the weak at the front of the battlefield. From time to time, I saw companions being separated from their bodies by their bodies, their limbs flying around, their flesh and blood mangled, and their screams incessantly. Their hearts and courage were frightened out of their wits. They panicked and fled from the battlefield, which became their first choice.
If there are those who take the lead, there will naturally be those who follow suit. This is what happens when you flee from the wind.
The ones who ran away at first were only the off-line Yellow Turban Army who were afraid of being killed by Nanyang soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army who were afraid of being killed by Xiahou Dun's cavalry.
When the three generals Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Cao Cao led their elite infantry to join the battlefield, the entire battlefield had already appeared.A one-sided situation. The Yellow Turban Army was retreating steadily, and the officers and soldiers pressed forward step by step. Even the 10,000 elite Yellow Turban Army that had just been organized by Peng Tuo were killed by Huangfu Song's 18,000 elite officers and soldiers.
The Yellow Turban Army brought out by Peng Tuo originally relied on its large number of people and listened to carefully crafted wrong information to go to Yingyang. The first is to occupy Yingyang County, so that Yingyang and Yangzhai form a cornering force. The second is to strangle and kill the officers and soldiers who rushed from Yingyang to Yangdi today and killed thousands of people along the way.
How do you know that the situation keeps making mistakes again and again? First, what they encountered on the road were not 1,000 officers and soldiers, but only 2,000 Nanyang soldiers. I think that the officers and soldiers on this road are like fish in a net, doing whatever they want. How do you know? Xiao Yang didn't confront him head-on at all, he just angered him, tempted him, and delayed him.
After that, Peng Tuo, who thought the situation was wrong, sent out a reconnaissance cavalry and reported that there were only 500 officers and soldiers ambushing on the road. Peng Tuo, who was watching the battle, no longer wanted to be on guard.
As soon as Xiahou Dun's cavalry arrived on the battlefield, Wenpin suddenly used his strength and stabbed their general He Man to death in front of one hundred thousand Yellow Turban troops.
This shot shattered half of the morale of the Yellow Turban Army. Then the Yellow Turban Army led by Xiao Yang, after Wenpin assassinated He Man, concentrated their forces and formed a special force with sharp knives, specifically to kill the old, weak, women and children of the Yellow Turban Army.
Thinking about Xiao Yang, when Wenpin faced off against He Man, he already had the Yellow Turban Army in the formation. Where is the weakest? Where are the people with the least fighting spirit? See them all clearly and keep them in mind. When it was time to charge and kill, Xiao Yang, who had evil intentions, specifically looked for the Yellow Turban Army to pursue the weak areas and kill them. Moreover, when charging and killing, the most bloody, cruel and brutal killing methods are used.
What if this is just the main elite of the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army? Then it can still be a close battle. The bad thing is that among the Yellow Turbans, there are twice as many offline Yellow Turbans who are fleeing.
"Fleeing away from the wind can cause contagion on the battlefield."
By the time Peng Tuo, Huang Shao, and Du Yuan gathered the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, the offline Yellow Turban Army was completely afraid of being killed. In their hearts, apart from fear, they just want to escape.
However, they had just grabbed a handful of equipment dropped by Xiao Yang on the road. When they ran away, they actually forgot to throw away the heavy objects in their hands and ran away. How could they not be as nimble as the Nanyang soldiers at the beginning? When they finally threw away the things they had picked up with a look of reluctance, they also threw away the things they originally had while running. The Yellow Turban Army was off the line, and hundreds of them had been hunted down.
