Volume 2 Chapter 26 Night Attack (I)

Yingchuan County is named Yingshui, since the seventeenth year of the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin (230 B.C.) for nearly 400 years, it has always been the most populous and the most prosperous place in addition to Beijing, so Yingchuan is the birthplace of many surnames in China, which can explain why Yingchuan has many top families.

For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the era of the division of princes, the very famous ones were Changshe Zhong's, Yingyin Xun's, Yanling's Yu's, Yangzhai Guo's, Yingchuan Chen's, Chunyu's and so on.

There are countless celebrities in these families, and Liu Wei definitely wants to embrace him, and those who are included in his command as junior brothers are like Zhong Xuan, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Chen Qun, etc., and of course, there is also a Wuchao wine fairy Chun Yuqiong, Liu Wei has already understood.

In this era, the clan holds the absolute right to interpret the classics, and in popular terms, it is to monopolize knowledge, and monopolizing knowledge is equivalent to monopolizing the entire officialdom. This is why the 13 states of the Han Dynasty rebelled, but the eight states located in the core of the rich revolted.

On the one hand, it is because these eight states have the most hardships, and the Taiping Dao forces want to develop the mass base naturally the most rapid and effective, as for the other hand, it is because the class contradictions in these places are really the most serious, and the so-called incitement of the Taiping Dao "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand" simply hit the hearts of the people, and Rao is impossible for any oppressed low-level common people to refuse, after all, the ancestors of the common people in the world, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, shouted the slogan "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning" hundreds of years ago.

So, the uprising and rebellion are logical, anyway, the horizontal and vertical are death, so why can't you fight, in case it is really right?

I have to say that judging from the current situation on the Yingchuan battlefield, these worldly people are very right, because they have a very powerful leader, in the hierarchy of the Yellow Turban, called Qu Shuai, this person's name is called Bocai.

Since the right Zhonglang led Zhu Yi to lead an army of 5,000 out of Xuanyuan Pass, he lost three cities in January, and the Yellow Turban forces in the Yingchuan area have actually declined slightly, and the peasant troops have actually always had such a problem, although they are not afraid of death, and there are many people, but there is no system to restrain them, and it is really chaotic and undisciplined to fight.

The peasant troops with such characteristics, in the face of the strong suppression of the regular army of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to say that they are undefeated, so in the past month, more than a dozen battles of all sizes, Zhu Yi can be said to have won very easily, and even his soldiers did not lose much, so that when Zhu Yi got the scout report that Yingyang was empty, he did not even send scouts again to investigate and verify, so he made the decision to raid Yingyang lightly, and the three thousand Han troops ran for 200 miles, and they could reach the city of Yingyang in less than two days. Zhu Yi's decision to deal with it was very decisive, but he was also hit extremely hard by the yellow turban.

In fact, Bocai did not anticipate the enemy first, but as a commander in the Yellow Turban Army, his people have an unusual military talent, at the same moment when he learned that the three cities of Yangren, Xiangcheng and Yexian were all broken, Bocai immediately sent messengers to Caixian and Nanton, which are closest to Yingyang, to transfer troops to help protect Yingyang, and at the same time, he also sent 5,000 troops from Yingchuan City, and immediately went to Yingyangtun to garrison outside the city, which can prevent the Han army from attacking the city violently, and secondly, it can interfere with and hinder the Han army from calmly camping.

Whether it is Zhu Yi or Bo Cai, the decision-making and army command talents of the two have been exerted to the extreme in the current environment and conditions, and it is the extreme operation of the two of them that caused the Han army and the Yellow Turban to collide violently on the Tandang Plain fifty miles away from Yingyang.

At that time, it was on the evening of the second day when Zhu Yi launched an attack on Yingyang.

Zhu Yi sent more than 20 scouts from all directions of Yingyang before the garrison set up camp, but none of them returned to the camp until sunset and darkness.

Standing in front of the Chinese military tent, looking up at the sky, he was already very worried in his heart: "How many scouts are sent to Yingyang in each direction?" ”

A person on Zhu Yi's side was seven feet long, with a gloomy face, extremely thin, like a scribe, and he only heard him say calmly: "Four people in the direction of Nanton, four people in the direction of Yingchuan, two people in the direction of Yanyingshui to the east, five people in the north of Yingshui, and six scouts sent to Caixian and Runan the day before also did not come back." ”

"Twenty-one in all?"

"If you count the outposts sent to a radius of ten miles, there are no less than a hundred."

Zhu Jun shook his head: "There will definitely be no difference ten miles away, but those twenty-one scouts have not returned so far, thinking that they have already encountered an accident."

"Could it be that I got lost, so I didn't come back?"

Zhu Jun sighed, shook his head again and again, and said: "I led the front army of 5,000 to raid the moth thieves, and the investigation of the enemy situation is very important, and these scouts were specially sent to me by Huangfu Yizhen."

The scribe stopped talking, and only listened to Zhu Jun continue: "They are all soldiers from the north, and they will not get lost in the mountains and terrains like the north, how can they lose their way in Yingchuan, a land of horses and rivers." Then he sighed, "I'm still careless." ”

The scribe remained silent.

Zhu Jun turned to stare at the thin scribe, and said with a helpless smile: "Zi He, three days ago, I made a plan to attack Yingyang, and all the officers and men in the army were all high-spirited except you, even the seriously injured Sun Wentai also sent a letter to ask me to take him as a pioneer.

The son and his person, named Zhang Chao, is a person from Dongping Shouzhang, who is the younger brother of Zhang Miao, one of the eight chefs of the Han Dynasty, and is serving as a military Sima under Zhu Jun at this time. When he heard Zhu Jun's words, he laughed a few times, and then said: "At that time, the three armies were high-spirited, although I thought that our troops had been fighting for more than a month, and the soldiers were tired, even if they were lightly armed to attack Yingyang, they might not be able to break the enemy in one battle, so they did not suggest that the general should do this plan. ”

Zhu Jun turned his head, looked up at the stars again, and said with a long sigh: "However, no matter what, if you follow Zihe's advice that day, you will not be in such a dilemma as today. ”

Zhang Chao also looked up at the sky with Zhu Jun and asked, "For today's plan, what is the general's plan?" ”

"After two days of continuous attack, it is only fifty miles away from Yingyang, and the whole army is full of morale, and it cannot be withdrawn and retreated no matter what." Zhu Jun shook his head and continued: "In this way, the only way to do this is to continue to move forward and fight, and I think that if I want to fight this time, what are the chances of winning?" ”

Zhang Chao also shook his head and sighed: "If it is as the general said, if all the scouts who went out to Yingyang in all directions this time are all gone, I am afraid that the reinforcements of the Quartet are already on the way." ”

Zhu Jun nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"The moth thief expected me to be the first, so he would naturally send scouts to investigate the details of our army, and our army galloped all the way without any cover, these three thousand soldiers, I can't deceive the moth thief."

Zhu Jun nodded again and said, "Not bad." ”

"Since the general knows this well, how can he still want to fight the moth thief?" Zhang Chao finally sighed and asked.

"And you want to quit the army?"

Zhang Chao nodded, and said with a wry smile: "I, Zhang Chao, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but this surprise attack strategy has been revealed, so it is not a surprise attack. ”

Zhu Jun bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Zi and I still save some face in the end." ”

Zhang Chao was puzzled and asked, "What does the general mean by this?" ”

Zhu Jun turned his head to look at Zhang Chao, still smiling and said, "Zi said that if the soldiers of our army fight with the moth thieves at this time, they may not have a chance of winning. ”

Zhang Chao twisted his beard and sighed lightly, showing his heart.

"I thought that if we fought with the moth thieves during the day, our army would definitely be wiped out, and you and I would also sell the moths and thieves to show off their prestige." These words, Zhu Jun's words, were full of laughter, without a trace of indignation.

Zhang Chao heard it in his ears and saw it in his eyes, but he was even more puzzled, so he could only ask: "The general's words are becoming more and more incomprehensible in the future. ”

Zhu Jun gently patted Zhang Chao's shoulder and said with a smile: "I don't think that I, Zhu Gongwei, personally led five thousand pioneers to gallop under Yingyang City, but is it this Yingyang City?" ”

"If the general doesn't want to capture Yingyang, why should he take such risks?" Zhang Chao asked truthfully.

Zhu Jun laughed, but the strength of slapping Zhang Chao became a little stronger: "If Lianzi has been deceived, then the mere moth thief will definitely be out of the question." If this is the case, my Zhu Gongwei's plan will definitely succeed, and there is nothing to fear about death. ”

Zhang Chao pondered for a moment, and said in shock: "The public attacked Yingyang ......"

Zhu Jun twisted his beard and his jaw was not stopped, interrupting Zhang Chao and laughing: "It is intended to be ...... in Yingchuan"

Fu pointed to the northwest and said: "There are also four scouts in the northwest direction of Yingchuan who have not returned, and I think that wave of thieves will also send Yingchuan moths and thieves to come to the aid of Yingyang." ”

Zhang Chao immediately nodded.

"The moth thieves are numerous, waiting for the attack, waiting for the time and place to take advantage of the time, if this is the case, our army naturally has no chance of winning, in this case, why can't we attack the city in the starry night, unprepared......"

"It is enough to increase the momentum and stir up the waves in Yingchuan City to be uneasy."

Zhu Jun stroked his palms and laughed, and suddenly called out loudly to the commanders on his side, and quickly rushed to the commanders of various departments in the army, and promoted the account to discuss the matter, and in less than half an hour, the whole army of 3,000 people was stubborn and stubborn, and galloped towards Yingyang.
