Chapter 138: Hiding in the Mountains
Fifteen days later.
Wangwu Mountain in Shangdang County, Heiyun Cottage.
The lights in the village are bright, push the cup and change the lamp, and it is very lively.
"Come, brother, do one!"
"Haha, good wine!"
"Brother Shuigen, brother respects you a bowl!"
……
This is the third night that the Flying Tiger Battalion has come to the Black Cloud Cottage, and they have been drinking for three nights in a row, each time until dawn. Such a day can be described as very comfortable for the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion who have returned from a long battle, but each of them also knows very well why Liu Zhan arranged it this way, that is, after they are completely relaxed, they can devote themselves to the cruel training in the future......
The Flying Tiger Battalion has now expanded to 40,000 people, and it is still divided into two battalions, left and right, which are still led by Chen Zhi and Pei Yuanshao respectively. For Xu Chu, Liu Zhanling had an appointment, so he did not let Xu Chu lead the men and horses of the Flying Tiger Battalion. According to Liu Zhan's arrangement, the first task of the Flying Tiger Battalion now is to practice, and Liu Zhan will select 1,000 people from these 40,000 people to form an elite cavalry, named the Flying Feather Cavalry - on the basis of ordinary cavalry, a bow and crossbow are added, so that they can adapt to all-weather and all-round operations.
As for the Tiger Roar team, they just took advantage of this opportunity to let Chen Zhi lead them to practice and drill well, so that the queen could carry out the decapitation task on the battlefield.
After capturing Dongjun, Liu Zhan swept away all the scattered Yellow Turban Army nearby, completely pacified the area of Dongjun, and when he set off from Dongjun to Wangwu Mountain, Liu Zhan pulled all the grain, grass and other materials hoarded by the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun City for nearly five years to Heiyun Cottage, including some gold beads, treasures, iron tools, horses, etc.
In the cottage hall, Liu Zhan sat on the main seat of the high platform, held a bowl of wine, and said loudly: "Everyone, this will be everyone's home in the future, come, make a bowl for our common home!" ”
"!"
The following Xi Zhicai, Chen Zhi, Xu Chu, Pei Yuanshao and others were all drunk, staggeringly raised the pottery bowl, and drank all the wine in the bowl.
"Lord, Chu is willing to follow the lord to Xiaquyang together, please ask the lord for permission."
Xu Chu's face was flushed, and he got up leisurely and bowed.
"Well......" Liu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." ”
"Thank you, lord!"
Xu Chu saluted again, and then sat on the mat with a "plop", eating the cooked meat in front of him with a big gulp.
At this time, Chen Zhi and Pei Yuanshao got up together and arched their hands and said, "Lord ......"
Before the two finished speaking, they saw Liu Zhan wave his hand and said: "The two of you, who are in charge of the left and right battalions respectively, don't follow in the fun, if you are all gone, who will train the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion." ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhi and Pei Yuanshao didn't say anything more, and sat down with some disappointment.
Liu Zhan looked at Xi Zhicai and said: "Zhicai, the future training matters will be left to you, and you must train the Flying Tiger Battalion into an elite division, especially the Flying Feather Cavalry, to train into the elite of the elite." ”
"Please rest assured, Zhicai will definitely not disappoint the lord."
Xi Zhicai got up and saluted, and almost fell, after all, among the people in the room, he had a small amount of alcohol.
"Zhicai, the burden on your body is not light, I'm going to work hard for you, come, do this bowl!"
Liu Zhan raised the pottery bowl, tilted his head and poured the wine down.
"Thank you, lord!"
Xi Zhicai was very happy, and he also held a pottery bowl and poured wine into his stomach.
"Come, let's have a bowl together."
Liu Zhan picked up another bowl of wine and poured it down.
"!"
Xi Zhicai, Chen Zhi, Xu Chu, and Pei Yuanshao raised their pottery bowls one after another and drank heavily.
At this moment, only hearing the sound of "dong", Xi Zhicai fell headlong on the case.
"Haha......"
Liu Zhan, Chen Dao, Xu Chu, and Pei Yuanshao saw that Xi Zhicai was unconscious, exchanged glances, and laughed......
……
October.
Xiaquyang.
The eastern skyline turned slightly white, and the fierce siege battle had been going on for nearly an hour......
"General Lu! It's not a way to go on like this, the city is high and the gate is thick, and the soldiers have too many casualties. ”
A middle-aged general with a beard, with a look of urgency, ran to Lu Zhi and bowed.
The middle-aged general is none other than Julu Taishou Guo Dian. After the Han army entered Jizhou, Lu Zhi adopted the strategy of dividing the troops, Lu Zhi mainly attacked the Yellow Turban Army in the south of Jizhou, and Guo Dian led 20,000 horses to sweep the Yellow Turban Army in the north of Jizhou. On the day that Zhang Bao fled into Xiaquyang, Guo Dian happened to lead 30,000 troops to Xiaquyang, but he besieged the city for two days, and had no good solution, so he had to give up and wait for the arrival of Lu Zhi's army. When the Han army led by Lu Zhi reached the outside of Xiaquyang City, there were 50,000 horses, plus Guo Dian's 30,000 horses, a total of 80,000 troops. Therefore, Lu Zhi decided to adopt a strategy of strong attack, crush and win head-on, deter the Yellow Turban thieves, and demonstrate the military prestige of the Han army, so that the small people who are about to move will not dare to act rashly.
What Lu Zhi didn't expect was that Zhang Bao, who fled from Guangzong to Xiaquyang, suddenly became as strong as he could, and Lu Zhi attacked three times in a row without breaking through the city. What Lu Zhi didn't know was that it was not that Zhang Bao had become fierce, but that most of the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang was the descendant army of Zhang Jiao when he raised the incident, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong, which was not comparable to the ordinary Yellow Turban Army.
Lu Zhi frowned, looking at the direction of the city for a while, only to see the Han soldiers fall down from the ladder like dumplings, the boulders in the city continue to roll towards the charging Han soldiers, and a raging fire is burning under the city wall, harvesting the lives of the Han soldiers in pieces......
Let's make a good plan.
Lu Zhi sighed: "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
Guo Dian's heart was relieved and he left quickly.
The gong sounded, and the Han army retreated like a tide......
……
Inside the city of Xiaquyang.
Zhang Bao sat at the head of the hall with a golden sword, his face was full of pride, not for anything else, because the Han army attacked the city several times in a row and ended in failure, which Zhang Bao, who had suffered many defeats, had a great increase in confidence, and he firmly believed that the Han army's siege of the city would also end without a problem......
At this moment, a man with a yellow turban rushed over: "Report - General Qiqi Digong, the Han army has retreated!" ”
"Haha! The Han army is not Erer. Thou shalt stand aside. ”
Zhang Bao laughed on his back.
"Yes!"
The yellow turban man gave a salute and retired.
"Come on! Celebrate with a drink! ”
Zhang Fei slapped his thigh and stood up, and shouted out of the door.
After a while, a group of young women with light steps floated in, holding wine and meat in their hands. Soon, the dining table in the hall was filled with wine and meat.
After a while, dozens of yellow turban men came to the hall with a smile and a smile, kneeling on the ground and saluting: "Meet General Digong." ”
"Haha, I'm happy today, no need to be polite, hurry up." Zhang Bao waved his hand at everyone, a little impatient.
"Thank you, General Digong!"
Everyone thanked them and sat down.
