- Zhongshan County

A large army slowly walked on the official road of Zhongshan County.

This army is under the banner of the Han Army, and the word Huaiyi is written on it, which is the Youzhou soldiers and horses led by Ma Qiang.

After making all the preparations, Ma Qiang ordered to send troops to Jizhou on June 15, and the army included 5,000 Wuhuan Yi from Shanggu and western Liaoxi, and a total of 20,000 infantry from the expansion of the five battalions of the Red Star Battalion, plus Sima Liu Bei of other departments, Kou Xian, and Han Heng, totaling about 30,000 people.

"According to the news from the scouts, there is no main force of moth thieves in Zhongshan and Changshan, Zhang Jiao seems to have hoarded the main military strength in Wei County, Zhao County, and Julu County, it seems that in his eyes, we are not a threat at all."

On the carriage, Duan Ying and Ma Qiang sat opposite each other, and in the middle of them was a map.

The map was marked with a large number of markers of various colors, all of which were the information obtained by Yan Rou's subordinates from continuous spying.

"Then just tell Zhang Jiao that we are here, where are the moth thieves in Zhongshan hoarded?"

"The moth thieves are very scattered, there are almost every county, the moth thieves in Zhongshan County are mainly collecting grain and grass to the front line, all now there are wars everywhere here, the original big families have gathered to protect themselves, and the moth thieves are also fighting this today, and fighting that tomorrow.

By the way, most of the moth thieves who were driven to Jizhou by our army are also gathered in Zhongshan and Hejian counties, according to estimates, there are at least 20,000 moth thieves in the two places, but there are not many elites. ”

Rogue Guys

"How is the Wuji Zhen family?"

"They have done well, they have sent people to contact us a few times before, and they have also established Wu Fort to defend themselves, because they have spread money before, so that the people are willing to help them, and the moth thieves have also heard about their kindness to the people, so they did not attack."

"Since they are so scattered, let's eat them one by one, and order Liu Bei to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to fight Yangcheng, Guo Jin to fight Wangdu, and Lin Hai to fight Puyin, and each team will be equipped with five hundred cavalry, and the rest will go to Tang County with me!"

Ma Qiang is really wide now, and the use of soldiers has begun to be the same as playing games in later generations, no matter what main force he has or not, he will give it to Lao Tzu!

Since the topography of Zhongshan is high in the west and low in the east, the few places attacked by Ma Qiang are all plains, and he is not afraid of any ambushes, so Duan Ying is too lazy to care.

For a while, the Yellow Turban Army in Zhongshan County found that their leisurely plundering days had become difficult all of a sudden, and those Yellow Turban Army who had transferred in from Youzhou recognized the origin of these cavalry at a glance.

The tiger in Youzhou is finally out of the mountain!

When Ma Qiang came to Tang County, Tang County had already gone to the empty city, and Ma Qiang was so proud that he could beat others one day and run away!

"It seems that there are capable people in the army of thieves." Kou Xian came over and said, "There is no danger around Tang County, and if the thief army gives up so simply, it must be waiting for us in front." ”

Oh, I wasn't scared away.

Ma Qiang was a little disappointed.

"Where do you think the moth thieves will choose to fight our army?"

"It must be Xia Quyang, there are two rivers in Xia Quyang that can block our army, but before Xia Quyang, I am afraid there will also be a fierce battle in Lunu." Duan Ying was extremely familiar with the terrain of Jizhou, and he had already planned in his heart.

"Go down to Quyang, then it's all to Julu County." Ma Qiang recalled the map and said.

"All the grain and grass of the thief army are hoarded in Julu, and they are confronting our army in Zhongshan County, they can't guarantee the grain and grass, and the cavalry of our army is much better than the thief army."

"In that case, keep heading south! Finish early and go home early! ”

Ma Qiang issued a military order, all parties had their own movements, along the way as Duan Ying judged, no city had resistance, and even many lonely Han troops and soldiers and horses still moved when they heard the wind, and followed everywhere to intercept and kill the Yellow Turban Army, this way, not so much in the attack on Zhongshan County, but an armed parade is appropriate.

- Yecheng

Zhang Jiao looked at the battle report from Zhongshan, sighed, and handed it to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang on the side.

"Ma Qiang is out of Youzhou, our army in Zhongshan County has not put the elite, and now Zhang Niujiao has hoarded soldiers and horses to Xiaquyang according to my previous instructions, if Xiaquyang is broken, the Youzhou army will enter Julu."

Zhang Bao squinted his eyes and said, "Big brother, don't worry, Ma is only a little stronger, I'll kill him!" ”

Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "I also have this intention, our army can no longer hold Yecheng, I am ready to withdraw to Guangzong, Guangzong has Qinghe, Zhangshui, and Jiangshui as barriers, and our army has built a large number of fortifications there, I think I can guard it for more than a year, and wait for the overall situation of the world to change."

Second brother, you go to Quyang, give me to block the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, the Wuhuan cavalry of Youzhou used to help Emperor Guangwu sweep away the heroes, known as the world's famous horsemen, although more than 100 years have passed, but the tiger died in the aftermath, not to be underestimated.

And Na Ma Qiang, don't underestimate him, remember that once you are defeated, the overall situation will be out of control. ”

Zhang Bao gave up his hand, and went to prepare for the soldiers and horses to go north to Quyang, Zhang Jiao looked at Lu Zhi's camp not far away, and secretly said in his heart, "Lu Zhonglang, Yecheng will give you first, and we will fight again in Guangzong!" ”

Zhang Jiao calculated the rain, and then the night rain the whole army evacuated Yecheng after several months of fierce fighting, and it rained heavily for two days, and it was not until the third day that Lu Zhi found that Zhang Jiao was gone, and he couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Jiao did have something extraordinary.

After Lu Zhiguang recovered Yecheng, he traced all the way to Guangzong.

Guangzong belongs to Julu County, which is the junction of Anping, Wei County, Julu and Qinghe counties, and at the junction with Qinghe, there is a boundary bridge that decided the battle of Hebei hegemony in later history.

Lu Zhi led his army to Ping'en, and further north from here was Guangzong.

"Guangzong is surrounded by water on three sides, and only the south can be attacked, but fortunately, the south has a vast area, forty miles, enough for our army to attack the city." The sect member pointed to the map and said, "The moth thief chose the battlefield here, it seems that he wants to continue to consume us. ”

"Zong Zhonglang, how many moth thieves did you say there were in this Guangzong?"

"I don't see less than 200,000, and there are no less than 100,000 people who can fight."

"It's another tough battle"

"Let's test it first, and see how many ambushes Zhang Jiao has set up here!"

With Lu Zhi's military order, 10,000 Han troops walked to the Yellow Turban military camp outside Guangzong City with neat steps.

About a hundred steps away, the banners of the Yellow Turban Army, which had originally covered the camp, suddenly all fell, and then, countless tulou appeared in front of the Han army.

"What is this?" Lu Zhi looked at these earthen buildings, and suddenly secretly said that it was not good.

With the sound of a drum, countless arrows shot out of the tulou, due to the height bonus of the tulou, these arrows shot farther than usual, and more importantly, the arrows of the Han army could not harm the Yellow Turban army hiding in the tulou at all.

If Ma Qiang was here, he would definitely admire Zhang Jiao's imagination and cast the ground, and actually designed a bunker in this era, and also built a bunker group!

Lu Zhi knew at a glance that the 10,000 Han army would not be able to win against the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side, so he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Looking at the cheering Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side, Lu Zhi couldn't think of any good way to break the enemy for a while, this kind of tulou on the opposite side can only be defeated by throwing a car, but throwing a car is time-consuming and laborious to build, and it seems that it is impossible to win quickly.

Lu Zhi ordered to set up camp, build a throwing car, and prepare to knock out Guangzong's teeth step by step.
