The Wind Rises Chapter 83 The Hanging Sheep Plays the Drum
When the child was in the city of Gwangjong.
"Report!"
The messenger soldier galloped through the street, holding a red flag high in his hand, and before he reached the Yellow Turban Marshal's mansion, he quickly rolled off his horse and galloped into the house: "Report to the general, the camp of the Han thieves was suddenly hit by fire at midnight, and there was a panic outside the city!" ”
Zhang Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly put on his clothes and climbed the city tower.
I saw that the camp of the Han army in the distance was red, and the raging flames were like raging fire dragons scurrying wildly on the field. The wind fueled the fire, the fire borrowed the power of the wind, and with the assistance of the strong wind, the flames flew higher and higher, approaching Xiao Han, hundreds of white tents instantly turned into nothing, and the dark clouds in the air were red and dripping blood.
Under the firelight, wolves rushed and horses galloped. The screams, the shouts, the wails, the collapse of the tents, and the wails of the horses gradually merged into a lament in the fire and carried into the city.
God said there would be light, and there was light.
The eldest brother passed away, and he had just begun to take charge of the entire rebel army, and God had already begun to favor me and give himself such a big credit. It's really sleepy and there are pillows! In the future, who dares to question Lao Tzu in the army, he will not be spared!
Zhang Liang looked at the city with a squint, and stood at the head of the city with a long roar: "Order the army to rest for two hours, go out of the city at three o'clock to encircle and suppress the Han thieves, and capture Huangfu Song alive, who dares not to be killed!" ”
"Encircle and suppress the Han thieves!"
"Capture Huangfu Song alive!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
At three o'clock, the sky was still not yet light, and the mountains in the distance were still blurred in the morning light, like a giant dragon that had not yet woken up. The fire under the city had just been extinguished last night, and a few sparks popped out from time to time.
The south gate of Guangzong City, which had been closed for ten months, suddenly opened, and a group of majestic yellow turban soldiers with spears and short spears in their hands poured out with neat steps.
"General! Are we going too hastily? Huangfu Song is a famous general of the Han court, and the soldiers under his command are also elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, how can there be a fire in the army! General, the last general thought that there must be something strange about this matter! ”
Strange, where did so many strange things come from? The birds' weirdness!
Zhang Liang rode high on his horse, glanced at the tent that had long been burned to ashes and the charred bones everywhere in front of him, sneered, and threw the long whip in his hand into the face of the general beside him.
"The sloppiness of bullshit, a few days ago under Guangzong City, the elite of the Han Dynasty was not killed by Lao Tzu, and two thousand corpses were left behind. Xu Ergou, that Huangfu Song is just a native chicken, what kind of famous general! ”
"General!" Xu Ergou ignored the burning pain on his face, still clasped his hands into fists and said sadly, "General, the way of survival, you must not ignore it, my yellow scarf now only has a few cities left in Guangzong and Xiaquyang, please be cautious!" ”
I'll check your sister, I'll check!
Zhang Liang glared at the general viciously, his eyes gradually became cold, pointing to the ashes and bones all over the ground, and shouted: "Hundreds of tents, two or three thousand corpses, the emperor Lao Er dares to give the life of two or three thousand Han soldiers to this general, so he is not afraid that he will be cut off by the dog emperor when he returns to Beijing in the future?"
Xu Ergou, last night's fire was just a fire in the Han thief army, as usual, this is the emperor's blessing of my yellow turban son, what is the plan? And what is there to observe! If you still dare to talk nonsense in front of the army and disturb the morale of the army, don't blame General Ben for being polite! ”
A soldier stepped forward and sneered at Xu Ergou: "What the general said is that Xu Ergou's guts are made by the rats in the gutter, and he is simply as cowardly as a mouse." Why should the general bother with such villains!
But, general, kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife? I'm afraid that the Han thieves under Guangzong City have already been burned by the fire last night, so why should the general go out of the city to pursue them in person? Please give me a guard, the last general will definitely be able to kill the old man for the general! ”
"Gao Sheng, if you can do something, do you think that it is very rare for General Ben to go out of the city in person? When will you be able to be quiet and think about it with your pig brain! ”
"What do you think?"
Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to split the head of his henchman to see if it was full of paste!
Gao Sheng, you special big stick mallet, did you grow up eating? Huangfu Lao'er and the soldiers under his command are indeed not afraid, but the eldest brother has just passed away, and my Yellow Turban army is full of factions and dragons without a leader, Lao Tzu will not take this opportunity to consolidate Lao Tzu's position!
Zhang Liang glanced at Gao Sheng, and shouted loudly: "This general is committed to saving the people in the world, how can a mere seven or eight thousand Han thieves be against the 30,000 elite soldiers under my command?" Pass on the general's order, do not catch the emperor and swear not to withdraw the troops! ”
With that, he waved the long whip in his hand, lifted the reins, and galloped and disappeared in front of the team.
……
"Kill!"
Zhang Liang was covered in blood with a long whip in his hand, and the big knife hung diagonally on his horse, his face full of fanaticism and excitement. Behind him and to his left and right were his Tiger Wolf Army and the guards left to him by his eldest brother, brave and loyal. At his feet and in front of him were the severed arms and broken tents of the Northern Han Army, which were full of desolation.
The horse under his crotch let out a long roar, and his feet were slammed down with his feet raised high, and there was a clattering fracture on the ground and the screams of the Han army.
Zhang Liang's eyes were hot: "How many military camps are this for the Han thieves?" ”
Gao Sheng rode his horse to Zhang Liang, folded his hand and counted them, and said flatteringly: "This is the fourth military camp!" In the morning, when he set out from Guangzong City, the general was intimidating and the soldiers were intimidating, and the Han thieves fled all the way. In just six or seven hours, the general has conquered four military camps of Han thieves in a row, and the famous generals of ancient times are not as good as them! ”
"Humph!"
Gao Sheng heard a cold snort, turned his head to see the contempt on Xu Ergou's face, and immediately scolded: "Hum what? The generals are like gods, even if they are resurrected in vain, they can't go down to four battalions in one day, right? Could it be that Lao Tzu is wrong?
It's really a rat poop that spoils a pot of porridge, and I'm about to be disgusted by you! You were originally under the command of General Tiangong, so you have never seen our general win! Xu Ergou, Lao Tzu told you, if the general goes today, if you are unreasonable to our general again, even if the general is magnanimous at that time, Lao Tzu will never let you go! ”
Xu Ergou was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and his eyes were scarlet: "Xiao'er surnamed Gao, all my sons under Xu Shi are loyal to my Taiping Yellow Turban, and they have no second thoughts, so why don't you sow discord here!" ”
"So what are you humming!"
Seeing Zhang Liang turn his head, his face was full of indifference, Xu Ergou sighed secretly: "General, now our army has four battalions of Han thieves, and only four or five hundred people have been annihilated along the way, but more than 100 of their tents have been destroyed recently, but General, do you know that we have not effectively hit the living force of Han thieves."
We waited all the way, and the Han army encountered along the way was more than 1,000 people, and at least only 3,500 people, and the main force of the Han thieves was not seen at all. General, the last general suspects that the main force of the Han thief army has already been quietly scattered and hidden, and after my elite soldiers leave the city, they will besiege Guangzong. Please also ask the general to be clear! ”
Zhang Liang was about to slap Xu Ergou, he was stunned when he heard this, and looked in the direction of Guangzong City, the green mountains and green waters in the distance, where can I still see the trace of Guangzong City! This place is close to Mingyue Gorge, more than sixty or seventy miles away from Guangzong, how can Guangzong have time to help once he loses? Suddenly, his face changed suddenly, and what Xu Ergou said seemed to be reasonable!
I'd rather have a god-like opponent than a pig-like teammate. The ancients, uh, modern people do not deceive me with this wise saying!
As soon as Xu Ergou's words fell, Gao Sheng had already pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, pointed at Xu Ergou and scolded: "Xu Ergou, you don't want to let your mother's Spring and Autumn fart go!" How can the emperor divide his troops now? The deep ditch and strong walls of Guangzong City are solid, and there are more than 40,000 people in my yellow scarf in the city, how can the city gate be lost?
What's more, if the Han thieves are surrounded by troops, wouldn't it be better for us to attack and annihilate the enemy under Guangzong City on both sides!
The surname Xu, according to Lao Tzu, it is you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death who slander under the account of General Tiangong, so that my yellow scarf does not dare to enter, and only a few lonely cities in Guangzong and Xiaquyang remain. Now you dare to bewitch our general, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will take your dog's life! ”
Hey, there seems to be some truth in what the tall mallet said, when did the pig's head open up on this dog's day!
Zhang Liang turned his head indifferently again, looked at Xu Ergou coldly, and whipped the long whip on Xu Ergou's face, and suddenly there was a red blood stain on Xu Ergou's face: "Xu Ergou, you bewitched the people and shook the hearts of the army, and you were going to behead you to show the public, but thinking that you have always been loyal, this general will send your head down, if you dare to disturb our army's heart again, you will not be forgiven!" Come on, detain Xu Ergou and keep him under strict guard, and deal with it after General Ben returns to Guangzong! ”
"Report!"
Before the words fell, a scout at the foot of the mountain in the distance had already galloped to the horse: "General, the main force of the Han army was found seven or eight miles ahead, and three or five hundred tents were set up at the mouth of Mingyue Gorge. ”
Hum! It's Mingyue Gorge again! Huangfu Lao'er, do you think General Ben will repeat the mistakes of his eldest brother? Let's see who else can save you this time!
……
The sky is getting brighter, and after resting outside the Mingyue Gorge for a night, the children are already ready to be full of energy.
Looking at the Mingyue Canyon three or five miles away, the endless tents and those flags fluttering in the wind, Zhang Liang was full of spirit.
Today, we will wipe out all the Han thieves and behead the old man of the emperor under the horse!
The people picked up the bells, and the front army had quietly arrived at the place where the tent was a stone's throw away. Listening to the faint sound of drums in the tent, Zhang Liang screamed and raised his long whip, and all the troops got on their horses and stretched their bows and arrows, and thousands of horse troops and 20,000 tiger and wolf troops flew towards the Han army camp like arrows from the string.
It's getting closer and closer, and the Han army camp is close at hand.
However, the entire Han army camp was so quiet, like an unfathomable pool of stagnant water! In addition to the whirring wind in Mingyue Gorge, the shouts of the soldiers under his command and the tapping sound of the horses, there was only the chaotic and dull drumming sound in the entire Han army camp.
Zhang Liang's heart gradually swelled with a burst of anxiety and uneasiness, could it be that the entire Han army camp was asleep? It's a pity that he has no way back, and the front army and the tiger and wolf army under his command have already dragged him into the Han camp.
"Report! There is no one in the entire camp of thieves! ”
"Report! There were only a few sheep hanging in front of the drums in the big camp! ”
Hanging sheep playing drums? Zhang Liang shot out with a long knife, and an arc moon fell from the sky, and the tent in front of him fell to the ground in an uproar, and there was nothing inside.
"Oh no, I've been tricked! Remove! As soon as Zhang Liang turned the horse's head, there was a "buzzing" horn sound in his ears.
Thousands of flags of various colors suddenly appeared on the mountainsides on both sides of the canyon, and the majestic and high-pitched shouts and shouts came and went one after another, and hundreds of sharp arrows shot down like flying locusts. The 20,000 Yellow Turban Army suddenly panicked and fled.
