At the foot of the northeastern slope of the mound where Yanggu and Zhang Liaobu were stationed was an open plain, and behind it was a dense forest, but now, this dense forest was no longer visible to a dense group of people with yellow scarves on their heads.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Yellow Turban thieves who came here to establish a camp have stationed nearly 20 camps, large and small, stretching for three or five miles from north to south.

The thirty tiger knights sent out by Zhang Liao's small camp actually did not have any fatal suicide attacks on the Yellow Turban army, and as Yang Gu expected, these thirty knights actually only did some things to do as a sentry horseman, and after galloping two or three hundred meters away from the Yellow Turban Company camp to investigate, they all turned back.

As for the Yellow Turban thieves at the foot of the mound, what they can do at dusk in the evening is not much different from that of Yang Gu and Zhang Liao, it is nothing more than sending twenty or thirty horsemen to probe the sentry and make a little inquiry in front of the camp of the Han army.

It's just a slight difference that the Han army camp is higher than the Yellow Turban Company camp, and the Yellow Turban Sentinel Cavalry is also slightly difficult to climb and investigate, and two of the Yellow Turban Sentinel Riders accidentally fell from their horses when they ascended, and they fell to death on the spot, which made Yang Gu a little dumbfounded.

However, no matter what, compared with the Yellow Turban Company Battalion, the Han army camp still has a slight advantage in terms of topography alone, which also makes Yang Gu feel a little more confident in his heart.

"When it gets dark, you can send a herald to Zhang Liao's camp, and if there is any war, let him not worry about the camp, hold on properly, and try his best to delay." Yang Gu glanced at the sun that was about to submerge into the forest, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Huang Ting beside him.

Huang Ting didn't respond to Yang Gu's words, but just asked lightly: "Team Yang, do you think we can survive tomorrow?" ”

Yang Gu glanced back at Huang Ting, and saw that he was still looking at the Yellow Turban Company Camp with long eyes, his face was solemn, and he couldn't help but smile: "Just now, you and I are speculating and talking in the big tent of the Chinese army, and we are still so agitated and heroic, how can I now ascend and see the arrangement of the moth thief, but I lost my courage." ”

Huang Ting didn't squint, he still looked straight at the Yellow Turban Company Camp, gasping for breath, shaking his head and sighing: "I don't know, but I hesitate in my heart, it seems to be impatient and fearful." ”

"Don't hide it Zijun, I was very uneasy when I was in the Chinese military tent, but now I have seen these many moths and thieves with my own eyes when I go upstairs, but I don't have so much nervousness." Yang Gu also followed Huang Ting's gaze, looked at the Yellow Turban Company Camp, his voice was low, and he said slowly: "As for those who can't live tomorrow, they should be able to live." ”

"In the five-mile company camp, the number of moth thieves should be far more than 10,000, but we only have 700 people." There seemed to be some despair between Huang Ting's words.

Yang Gu nodded again and again when he heard this, and said with a smile: "And the soldiers of our department are also some new troops who have not been warned, and even most of them are old and weak who escaped the war from the north, although they are barely called the Han army, but if they really want to fight, they must not be said to be ten, even if they can be stronger than the moth thief, it may not be." ”

"In that case, how does Team Yang think that we can really survive tomorrow?" Huang Ting's expression changed from before, and his eyes were full of fear.

"People are not afraid of death, in the end they are just talking." Yang Gu glanced at Huang Ting, who was excited, and finally turned his head and sighed, as if he was talking to himself: "If Zhang Liao can be a few years older, maybe I won't be afraid." ”

Huang Ting heard Yang Gu's words, of course, he didn't know why, and was thinking about the meaning, but he saw that Yang Gu had already gone down to the watchtower, and summoned the herald to arrange to convey the military order to Zhang Liao's small camp.

Huang Ting sighed again, the sun had set in the forest in the distance, the sunset on the horizon was bloody, the evening breeze was light, the insects chirped, and the sky was dark.

As Yang Gu said, the 700 soldiers in the Han army camp are all just people who have fled the war from the north, and they can't help themselves to join the army, and most of them are old and weak, although Yang Gu repeatedly emphasized that the moths and thieves are some Qianshou farmers who have no combat experience when they are mobilized, and their own camps are solid, and there is enough food, grass and ordnance, so there is no need to worry, but how do people with a little experience in the world not know that they are just a Qianshou peasant, and now they have become the Han army for less than a month, even if the armament is superior, However, in terms of fundamental combat effectiveness, it is not much different from those moth thieves, 700 enemies and 10,000 enemies, but anyone who has a little brain, knows that there is an extremely huge gap, so that there are many war-fearing words in the army.

The non-commissioned officers in the battalion are arranged in a longitudinal order, a military tent can accommodate ten people, the Han army camp has more than 700 soldiers, a total of more than 70 military tents are divided into four columns arranged in turn in the middle of the walled gate and the walled gate, each military tent has a commander responsible for holding the soldiers under his command, and the will of the soldiers is often influenced by the commander.

That night, there was a rebellion in the three military tents near the Zhaimen in the Han army camp, and the three chiefs led by them unanimously rebelled against the soldiers under their command, intending to seize the Zhaimen and surrender to the Yellow Turban Thieves to the northeast.

After Yang Gu got up and hurriedly came to the gate of the village, he saw that Huang Ting had already led more than ten tiger soldiers under his command, and stood on the spot with a stunned face.

"What's going on?" Yang Gu looked nervous, arranging the armor that had not yet been put on, and asked Huang Ting.

Huang Ting glanced at the trench not far from the gate of the walled village, and said, "The three soldiers rebelled, intending to surrender to the northeast to the moth thieves. ”

Yang Gu hurriedly ran to the gate of the village, squatted down and stretched out his two fingers, and put them on the neck of the guard lying on the ground, but heard Huang Ting sigh and say: "The guard on duty at night is not wearing iron armor, and he pierced his spleen with a knife for a traitor, and he has been dead for a long time. ”

"Why don't you get armor?" Yang Gu stood up suddenly, shouted angrily, looked around at the soldiers around him for a week, and then drank: "Where is the rotating commander?" ”

Among the sergeants, an old man with vicissitudes flashed out, and he said in a panic: "Your Majesty...... The subordinates are here. ”

Yang Gu glanced at him and asked again, "Why don't you wear armor?" ”

"Iron Armor...... The iron armor is heavy, and there may be a war tomorrow, I'm afraid it will ...... I am afraid that the soldiers will not have enough physical strength, so they ...... So....... ”

"Therefore it is up to you to make the decision on your own, so that he will take off his iron armor and lose his life." Yang Gu's eyes were red, and he stared at the veteran and said fiercely.

The veteran did not dare to argue, so he could only keep his head down and remain silent.

"Tie up with me." Yang Gu immediately ordered, and then turned his head and asked Huang Tingdao: "The traitor has not been caught?" ”

Huang Ting pointed to the nearby trench and said, "The night is dark, and the traitors are so panicked that they all fall into the trench. ”

When Yang Gu heard this, he immediately walked to the front of the trench, the ditch was one zhang deep, and there were many sharp gravels, so the rebels who fell into the ditch were stabbed to death on the spot, and then those who fell into it more or less also fell and broke their hands and feet, and for a while, the ditch was full of bitterness and miserable.

Seeing this, Yang Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Huang Ting followed Yang Gu and asked, "What should we do with these traitors?" ”

"Surrender to the enemy, kill your comrades, and burn them directly." After that, Yang Gu didn't look at those traitors anymore, turned around and was about to leave.

Huang Ting followed Yang Gu's side again and continued to ask, "The chief officer on duty, how should I deal with it?" ”

Yang Gu glanced at the veteran, and there was a trace of pity in his heart, but after a moment, he looked serious again, and said in a deep voice: "Disobey military discipline, change military orders without authorization, and hang the corpse with the head as a warning." ”

As soon as this remark came out, more than ten soldiers immediately knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, and the first strong man actually knelt down and crawled in front of Yang Gu, sighing and said: "Yang Gong changed the military order without permission, but he was sympathetic to the soldiers, and he had no intention of disobeying the team rate, and the team rate was tolerant, so spare Yang Gong this time!" ”

After that, the rest of the kneeling soldiers were also like this strong man, and they knelt down and crawled in front of Yang Gu one after another, intending to forgive.

Yang Gu glanced around at everyone and was silent for a long time, then he looked at the leader and sighed: "The law is not favoritism, if I don't forgive, what will you do?"

It was hard for the strong man to think that Yang Gu had been silent for so long but still did not change his mind, gritted his teeth, and actually stood up upright, changed his previous appearance, and shouted fiercely: "I have traveled thousands of miles, and I have come here just to survive, and you are just a fool and a leader, if you call me alive, I will salute you for a team, if you can't let me live, we can also trust a yellow sky."

Several people kneeling on the ground immediately stood up and drew their knives one after another, Huang Ting also drank the tiger armor behind him to draw his knife against each other, and for a while, more than 20 people confronted each other with knives, which was very angry.

Unexpectedly, Yang Gu was not frightened, but looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" The strong man asked.

Yang Gu shook his head again and again, seeing that the soldiers around him were gathering more and more, he still laughed unabated, and said loudly: "Who of you present doesn't want to live?"

Everyone was speechless, and Yang Gu continued: "I am the Great Han Wenzong, I could have entered the imperial court, and I was in Jiuqing, how could I be trapped here with you and other Qianshou, and I don't know life and death?"

Everyone was still speechless, and Yang Gu said again: "The thirty traitors in the trench just want to believe in the yellow sky, but now they are dust, and you think that you can survive when you get to the camp of the moth thieves, have you ever thought about getting out of the trench in front of the camp?"

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar, even Huang Ting behind him was stunned for a while, and unconsciously glanced at the dozens of criss-crossing and bottomless trenches.

In the meantime, I heard a young voice in the crowd shouting, "He is a liar!"

Everyone looked for prestige, Yang Gu also frowned, and resolutely shouted: "Those who are noisy, come forward."

There was a short boy in the crowd, holding a command flag, it was a herald, and before Yang Gu could ask, he said in a loud voice: "I heard that you ordered one of your troops to go to the small camp to deliver the news, why do you say that you can never leave this camp again?"

Yang Gu laughed again and said, "Very good! In that case, do you see that someone else is coming back? ”

The young herald immediately stopped talking, and when everyone saw this, they didn't know how to do it, and their faces were terrified and frightened.

"If you don't believe it, you can rely on your ability to get out of this camp and give it a try." Yang Gu still shouted loudly, but there was no previous hesitation and panic in his words, and instead of pride: "Today, we are waiting for seven hundred comrades to be in the place of death, desperately killing the enemy and advancing and retreating together is the way to survive, and I am lucky and afraid of war and death but begging for death, I Yang Gu is the Great Han Wenzong, if I am lucky to survive here, I will definitely live up to the bright future of your comrades."

After speaking, Yang Gu suddenly took out the dagger left by Liu Wei from his arms, slashed his left palm, and brushed his face with his palm, and the blood in his palm immediately covered his cheeks, and he heard his sonorous words: "If you violate this oath, people and gods will abandon you." ”

In this way, except for more than ten people, including the old man surnamed Yang and the strong man, the rest of the soldiers all raised their right arms and shouted and roared, and their fighting spirit was suddenly born.

Seeing this, the old man surnamed Yang suddenly broke free from the two soldiers who escorted him, and one jumped in front of Yang Gu, and before anyone else could react, he grabbed the dagger in Yang Gu's hand with one hand, and shouted: "The law is not favoritism, I die, and the moth thief also dies!" ”

After saying that, a knife was inserted into his throat, blood splattered three feet, and he was instantly exhausted.
