Chapter 146: The First Battle (Part II)
The next day, the Yellow Turban Army in Changping was divided into three routes, one route led by Su Gu to the Red Star Battalion, all the way to the military capital, Yu Poison sat in Changping, and began to recruit troops.
However, it was said that as soon as Su Gu and 3,000 people left the city, a telegram reached the Red Star Battalion, and Ma Qiang immediately began to beat drums and gather generals.
In the war room, a huge sand table is placed in the middle, which shows the topography of more than ten county towns such as Guangyang and Zhuojun, although it is not fine, but it is much better than the map of this era.
Ma Qiang sat in the main seat, Duan Ying and Lu An were on the left and right, the six battalion commanders sat below, and the various battalion commanders were waiting outside.
"I just got the secret report from Changping, the Yellow Turban Thief General Zhenggu is leading three thousand soldiers and horses to my Red Star Battalion, and now it has been a quarter of an hour since it started, our army should take the initiative to attack in this battle, military division, this battle will be commanded by you!" As he spoke, Ma Qiang took out his sword and handed it to Duan Ying.
This saber is an eight-sided Han sword specially created by Yue Liang for Ma Qiang, when he first got it, Ma Qiang was still very stinky and wore it every day, but soon found that he was not used to wearing an iron bar on the side every day from later generations, and in the end, except for special circumstances, Ma Qiang did not wear a sword anymore.
Duan Ying took Ma Qiang's sword, then looked at everyone and said, "This is the first battle of my Red Star Battalion, please listen to my orders, if there is any delay, you will not be forgiven!" ”
Everyone looked at Ma Qiang and nodded, and they all bowed their hands in agreement.
Duan Ying continued, "The Yellow Turban Army is now winning consecutive battles, and it will inevitably be arrogant, Battalion Commander Huang!" ”
"In!"
"You lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, carry ten carts of copper coins, and wait in Chenzhuang, which is the only way from Changping County to my Red Star Battalion.
I expect that the Yellow Turban thieves will not retreat like this, and then you will engage the enemy two miles away from Chenzhuang, and this battle will only be defeated, not won! ”
Huang Zhong was puzzled and said, "This battle is the first battle of my Red Star Battalion, how can I not win and lose?" ”
Duan Ying said with a smile, "In the end, you can win, I think there are countless Taoists in Taiping Dao, and the reputation of your Huang Battalion Commander already knows that only if you are defeated, they will be relieved and bold to continue to move forward." ”
"This... Promise! Huang Zhong nodded in response.
"In this way, the enemy army will inevitably be arrogant, Battalion Commander Huang, you have to lead them to Hukou Village, north of Hukou Village is a river, which is a soldier's land, Battalion Commander Yan, when you kill from the south, cut off their army, and the other four battalions are surrounded and killed, be sure to annihilate the enemy army! In addition, a battalion is needed to guard the rear road to prevent it from receiving reinforcements. ”
"Wait, military division, there are plains near Hukou Village, their cavalry can still hide farther away, how can we infantry ambush?" Xian Yufu got up and asked.
"Who said the plains can't be ambushed? Those who are good at fighting can hide under the Nine Lands! ”
"Underground?" Everyone looked at each other and understood.
- Chen Zhuang
Liu Xin took the binoculars, looked at the distance and could vaguely see a knight wearing a yellow scarf, and immediately said, "Here, let everyone get ready!" ”
The Yellow Turban Army's scouts also discovered Liu Xin and the others, but what made them strange was that Liu Xin and the others did not make any preparations for battle, but instead took out gongs and drums and walked towards them while beating.
"What's going on with these people?"
"I don't know... Let's go, come forward and ask! ”
A few probes were confused, and simply stepped forward to talk.
"Who are you? Why blow and blow here! ”
"Dare to ask, but the Yellow Turban Heavenly Soldier has arrived?" Liu Xin bent over, grinned, and said with a flattering face, "The small one is from the Red Star Battalion, and on the order of our horse battalion master, he came to greet the heavenly soldiers, and our battalion master said that he did not dare to fight against the heavenly soldiers, and was willing to offer his property, just ask the heavenly soldiers not to commit the Red Star Battalion." ”
As he spoke, Liu Xin waved his hand, and ten carts full of copper coins were pushed up, and then a sergeant pushed the cart as if he was a little unstable, and the copper coins on the cart immediately overturned to the ground, spilling everywhere.
"How... This... This heavenly soldier, that... Go and go! ”
Saying that, Liu Xin ran away with this group of people.
Looking at so much money, the eyes of the two probes were straight, and it took a long time to react, and when they reacted, there were only ten carts of copper coins left on the road.
"Quick... Go and report to the general! As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into his arms.
"That's right! Must be reported! "The other Tanma was not stupid, and he was there to grab copper coins and put them in his clothes.
"Then you don't want to go quickly!" Another handful.
"Right away!" Grab another handful.
When he arrived here with the army, he saw that the tanma he sent out had already formed a ball around these copper coins, and he was so angry that he almost killed all these tanma.
"What the hell is going on?" He stared viciously at the group of probes kneeling on the ground, each of them with at least five or six cups raised on their chests.
If only he knew what a cup was.
"It's... It was sent by the Red Star Battalion, and they said that they did not dare to be our enemy and wanted us to retreat. ”
"Let's get out of the army, that's all? Listen to me, brethren! The Red Star Camp is full of gold and silver, and the girls are everywhere, as long as you defeat the Red Star Camp, I will allow you to loot for a day! He waved his knife and boosted his morale, and suddenly these Yellow Turban soldiers cheered.
"Leave a tun and give me the money, and the others will go with me!" He guessed that the Red Star Battalion must be defenseless now, so he continued to march forward with the Yellow Turban Army.
After walking two miles forward, he saw a group of soldiers and horses, led by a general, wearing fish-scale armor, holding a red-blooded broadsword, a bow on the side, an arrow bag at the waist, a short beard and sharp eyes, and an extraordinary momentum, with nearly a hundred people, blocking the way.
"Moth thief! Since you have already received our money, why don't you withdraw from the army, do you really think that the big knife in Huang's hand is not good? ”
"General, that person must be Huang Zhong, who is said to be the number one master of the Red Star Battalion"
"Moth thief! How dare you fight me? ”
"Hehe, do you want to win me by fighting generals?" Su Gu is not willing to take risks, and the other party is actually called the number one master
... Then you shouldn't be an opponent.
Zheng Gu immediately shouted, "There are few enemy soldiers, rush me!" ”
"Kill!!"
When the Yellow Turban Army heard this, they immediately rushed over to Huang Zhong and the others, and when Huang Zhong saw it, he turned his horse's head and shouted, "There are many thieves and soldiers, let's withdraw first!" ”
Seeing that Huang Zhong actually ran away without firing an arrow, he couldn't help but laugh left and right, "Then Ma Qiang found such a person to help him take care of the home, it's really a waste of money and food, follow me!" ”
"General, be careful of deception!" A military marquis on the side pointed to Huang Zhong's team and said, "Then Huang Zhong is about to collapse at the touch of a button, this is too weird." ”
Looking around, he saw that the nearly 100 soldiers led by Huang Zhong were losing their armor and armor, and the ordnance banners were thrown everywhere, and many of them were scattered and fled in other directions, and he immediately said with confidence, "If it is a fraud, how can it be so scattered?" I don't think they're just the ones who just shipped the money, and they didn't even think about fighting us, so chase me! ”
This chase, just chased three or four miles, these Yellow Turban Army who ran were out of breath, you must know that most of these Yellow Turban Army were still not full of food more than a month ago, where can they run every day to practice long-distance running Red Star Battalion volunteers.
Looking at Huang Zhong and the others, who had gradually disappeared in the distance, they screamed angrily, eager to conjure up a cavalry.
Yu Poison's soldiers and horses basically have no cavalry, most of the cavalry of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army were taken by Deng Mao to fight Zhuo County in order to support Jizhou, and the cavalry in the hands of Yu Gu only had 100 people except for the horses, and he was really reluctant to take these 100 people to risk.
