Chapter 121: Capture Ruyang
When the Battle of Gepo was in full swing, the situation in the northern part of Runan also began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
On the official road.
A group of soldiers and horses on the march was slowly moving in a northeasterly direction, and their direction was Ruyang City, which was the garrison of Huang Shao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal from Yingchuan and crisscrossing Runan.
It is rumored that after Huang Shao repelled the Yingchuan army, he attacked all the way north, and Ruyang became his food and grass supply.
"Where have we been?"
Mu Jing looked up, looked at the fallen golden crow in the west, reined in the horse's reins, and asked left and right.
"Report to Shaoqu Shuai, now you have entered the south of Zhengqiang County!"
"How far is it from Ruyang?"
"Less than eighty miles!"
"Tan Zong!"
"In!" A teenager rode his horse quickly.
"How many Yellow Turban troops are stationed in Zhengqiang City?"
"According to the news, it should only be about five hundred!" Tan Zongdao: "However, Zhengqiang is very close to Ruyang, the nearest place is less than fifty miles, and the cavalry can arrive in one day, once the fight starts, the Ruyang army will rush there!" ”
"Luo Ying!"
"In!" The military marquis Luo Ying of the first song of the Jingping camp heard the cry and rode his horse back.
Mu Jing opened his mouth and said: "We will not enter the city tonight, find a place to camp on the spot, and find another way to sweep away the eyes and tongues outside, so as not to let the news of our march get out!" ”
"Yes!"
Luo Ying nodded in obedience.
"Chen arrives!"
"In!"
Chen Zhi's recent feeling is hardly strange, Mu Jing seems to be more special to himself, he will be the first to name himself when discussing military strategies, and he will also be the first to give preferential treatment to himself when he is ordering troops to pull out the camp, this preferential treatment makes him a little frightened.
"You immediately lead the troops, with the vanguard army, rush to Ruyang, and find out the details of Ruyang!"
Mu Jing said in a deep voice.
He originally led the Jingping battalion to sweep the county town west of Runan, although the generals under his command were Yellow Turban generals, but after a certain period of running-in, there were already six or seven percent of the combat effectiveness, so the action was ugly, in a short period of time, he had already won Dingying City, Xiping City two cities, as long as he was given another month, he was enough to go south to the west without four or five troops to take this.
They now have enough food and grass, as long as they wait for work, escort the northern flank of the Gepo battlefield, and wait for the results of the Gepo battlefield.
But Tan Zong inquired about a piece of news that made him unable to sit still.
The Yellow Turban soldiers and horses in Ruyang City have all rushed to the northern battlefield, and the Yingchuan Army actually introduced foreign aid and pulled the Xuzhou Army into the battlefield, and Huang Shao was a little unable to stop it, so he was forced to move the main force north.
The empty Ruyang City is a mouthful of fat for Mu Jing.
Eating it in one bite is equivalent to cutting off the grain channel of Huang Shao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, if it is successful, even if it cannot exterminate the Huang Shao department, it is enough to force Huang Shao to withdraw from the Ruyang battlefield, so that the battle in the future will be smoother.
So as soon as he was moved, Mu Jing gathered all the soldiers and horses in the Jingping camp
"Yes!"
Chen Zhi gave up his hand to receive the order, turned the horse's head, led all the soldiers of the fifth song, and continued to drive.
Under Luo Ying's strategy, the rest of the soldiers of the Jingping camp camped down on a relatively flat hill, ready to rest for the night, and were on the road tomorrow morning, after all, they had already walked for a day, and the soldiers were very tired.
…………
In the dead of night, on the hill, only a few brazier lights are flickering, under the firelight, the soldiers patrolling and guarding are stepping on footsteps, guarding the Quartet, and the rest of the soldiers are back to back, sleeping.
Tonight it looks like the starry sky is brilliant, starry, and there is no sign of rain, so they didn't put up their tents either, after all, it takes too much time to set up a military tent, they just rest for the night, and it will take too much time to install and dismantle.
All the entire barracks only have a certain simple military tent, which is the camp tent of the main general Mu Jing.
In the camp tent, the oil lamp was lit, and under the oil lamp, Mu Jing was lying in front of a marching map and looked carefully, without leading the soldiers, he didn't know the hard work of leading the troops, thousands of soldiers were under his command, and his own decision could kill countless people, and that kind of pressure and sense of responsibility made him have to be cautious and cautious.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Ning opened the curtain, walked in, and asked.
"I'm watching the deduction battle!"
Mu Jing replied.
"Deduction of the battle situation?" Zhang Ning's beautiful eyes were shining, looking at Mu Jing's serious face, and said, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the recent changes in the battle situation?" ”
"We're in control, there's nothing wrong with that!"
Mu Jing shook his head and said analytically: "Now the Yellow Turban Army in the north is under the siege of the Yingchuan Army and the Xuzhou Army, whether it is the Huang Shao Department or the He Man Army, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out, and in the south, Shangcai is surrounded, Ge Po is attacked, they can't stop it for long, this Runan Yellow Turban is going to be destroyed!" ”
"Then you are still so sad?"
"Your Highness, don't you think that the current situation is too smooth for our officers and soldiers?"
Mu Jingdao: "You and I are both Yellow Turban children, I know that the Yellow Turban Army can't fight a hard battle, but it is also quite resilient, especially after experiencing a failure, the people who survived are all the human spirits among the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, if they don't even have a little bit of certainty, how dare they revolt again!" ”
The Yellow Turban Army is not as unbearable as history says, on the battlefield of cold weapons, young and middle-aged men, as long as they have been on the battlefield and have undergone a bloody baptism, they will soon become an elite veteran.
There are not many veterans in the Yellow Turban Army, in the past, Yingchuan and Nanyang were the hardest hit areas of the Yellow Turbans, ten young and strong, seven were Yellow Turban soldiers, after the Yellow Turban was defeated, the imperial court chased and beat fiercely, and many Yellow Turban soldiers fled from Yingchuan and Nanyang and took refuge in the Yellow Turban in Runan.
That's why there is now the uprising of the Yellow Turbans in Runan.
These forces must not be underestimated.
"You suspect that there is fraud in it!"
Zhang Ning thought for a while and said: "Could it be that you think too much, the Yellow Turbans in Runan don't have much combat effectiveness, in the past, the Yellow Turbans rebelled, Runan was just a partial battlefield, and even the officers and soldiers didn't go south, how much combat power can the Yellow Turban Erlang here have!" ”
"I hope I'm thinking too much!"
Mu Jing smiled bitterly.
Although there is not much depiction of the Yellow Turban in Runan, it is only recorded in the fifth year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Army revolted in Gepo, and then swept Runan, and the imperial court once sent one of the eight captains to lead the army to quell the chaos, but returned defeated.
And then there wasn't much to record.
The records that appeared later said that several Yellow Turban Qu Marshals took refuge in Liu Bei, and then said that Cao Cao sent troops to pacify the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turbans in Runan.
With these histories, it is not so easy to show that the Runan Yellow Turban is not so easy.
Of course, Mu Jing also knew that when he appeared in this world, he couldn't fully believe in history, the so-called history can only be used as a reference, after all, he can't underestimate the effect of butterflies.
……
The next day, the flag of the black mandala was flying in the wind, and the army continued on its way.
After a day and a night of hurrying, it was not until the morning of the third day that Mujing's Jingping camp entered the city of Ruyang.
"What about Chen's vanguard part?" Mu Jing walked all the way, but he didn't find Chen Dao's vanguard army answering, which made his heart suddenly and a little uneasy.
"I haven't found it yet!"
The dozen or so scouts on the left and right all shook their heads, indicating that they had found no trace of Chen Zhi's tribe.
"Didn't find it?"
Mu Jing tightened the reins of the horse, and his face became cold: "Tan Zong! ”
"Shaoqu Shuai!"
"Immediately ask your people to find out Chen Dao's vanguard part!"
"No need to look for it!"
Tan Zong pointed to the city in front of him and said, "Shaoqu Shuai, they should be in the city now!" ”
"In the city?"
At this time, the generals saw clearly a battle flag flying above the city.
Black mandala.
This is the military flag of the Jingping camp.
"Ruyang City that this kid takes?"
Mu Jing was a little surprised: "No! ”
Chen Zhi's troops are the strongest among the left and right tribes, with more than 800 soldiers, but Ruyang, as Huang Shao's grain storage place, even if the troops are empty, there should be at least more than 1,000 soldiers to guard it.
How did he capture Ruyang City?
Pedal Pedal !!!
At this time, the city gate opened, and more than ten cavalry came to meet him, and the first person was the young soldier Marquis Chen.
He came to Mu Jing, jumped off the horse, and gave his hand to report: "The last general Chen arrives, he has taken Ruyang City, and he also asks Shaoqu Shuai to enter the city for acceptance!" ”
"Into town!"
When Mu Jing heard this, he was a little shocked, but he didn't doubt it, and immediately ordered the army to enter the city.
