Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 63 Each Shows His Magical Powers
The sound of rolling axles resounded, and a long convoy was making its way on the winding road.
The bumpy road had obviously not been repaired for many years, and from time to time there were one deep pothole after another, and the convoy was moving with great difficulty, and if you were not careful, the wheels would get stuck in it, making a miserable grinding sound.
The soldiers in yellow scarves pushed the car with all their might, sweat soaking through their clothes. The June sun was raging more and more, making people dizzy under the sun.
Sweat poured from the shiny forehead of a small yellow turban leader, and he shouted hoarsely, "Brothers! Keep it up! Ten miles ahead is our big camp! As long as these grains and grass are delivered safely, we can have a good rest after eating and drinking! ”
These words were a big encouragement to the soldiers, they licked their dry lips, and once again broke out the green tendons on their necks, it was really coming! Hold on a little longer!
One of the Yellow Turbans even shouted, "Do you have any alcohol to drink?" ”
The leader of the yellow turban laughed and scolded: "You dream! What time is it now? It's not easy to even eat enough, how can there be extra grain to make wine! Even Lao Tzu hasn't smelled alcohol for months! ”
He touched his chin, and greed flashed in his eyes: "However, if you can defeat Yang Zhai, maybe the brothers can really scavenge something good from the city!" ”
"For example! Wine for the great altar and chunks of meat! He swallowed, "How can the rich people in the city not have these good things?" ”
"And the big girl!" A group of Yellow Turbans burst into laughter.
"So you have to work harder!" The leader of the yellow scarf laughed and said, "Otherwise, if you miss the time to transport grain, not to mention wine, meat and women, Bocai Daqu Shuai will be smoked alive first......
The "whoosh" arrow flew in, and the voice of the yellow turban leader stopped abruptly, he lowered his head, stared blankly at the cluster of arrows stuck in his chest, and then fell straight to the ground.
The Yellow Turban Army stared blankly at him falling to the ground, and suddenly someone shouted, "Not good! Enemy attack! ”
As soon as the words fell, a rain of locust-like arrows flew overwhelmingly, and the Yellow Turbans let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground one by one.
Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind the woods, and thousands of Han cavalry rushed out waving their long knives.
The Yellow Turbans were so frightened that their eyes straightened, and they all fled into the grass on the side of the road. In an instant, in addition to the huge convoy of more than 100 corpses and dozens of wounded people who were groaning and struggling, 5 or 600 Yellow Turban sergeants and soldiers escorted by the car escaped cleanly.
A rough man in black armor and black armor in the cavalry of the Han army shouted violently: "Brothers, do you remember how the general commanded? ”
"Grab the fuck, burn the fuck!" The cavalry laughed in unison.
"Good! Still hands-on? The black man laughed wildly, "Take everything you can take away, and burn everything you can't!" Starve these bastards! ”
All of a sudden, the Han cavalry was active everywhere near Yangzhai, they brought the wolf pack tactics to the extreme, and the transport convoy of the Yellow Turban Army immediately swarmed up, first scattered the enemy with a dense rain of arrows, and then viciously rushed up to slash and kill, and after driving away the enemy, they went crazy and robbed, and the last fire burned to the light, the whole process of action was clean and neat, never more than half an hour.
Occasionally, they encountered small patrols or scouts of the Yellow Turbans, and they also swarmed up, hitting and running, never dragging mud and water. Whenever the Yellow Turban Army sent thousands of people to reinforce it, they always wanted to cry without tears in the face of corpses and burning grain trucks, but where could they find half a hair of the Han army?
The Yellow Turban Army camp, the big tent.
"Bang" A thick palm slapped heavily on the case, and the bearded man sitting in the seat of the main general stared at a pair of red eyes and said, "How unreasonable!" In just three days, our army lost 2,000 soldiers and nearly 100,000 stone of military rations, but we didn't even see a single enemy! When has I ever fought such a battle! ”
"Tell me, what should we do now?" He took a few breaths before he said to the two generals sitting on either side, "Peng Tuo, as the deputy general of the whole army, you speak first!" ”
Na Peng was born tall and thin, but his eyes were shining, and he said expressionlessly: "The number of enemies who attack our army is obviously not large, and this can be proved by the fact that they only dare to attack our army's troops of less than 1,000 people. The last general thinks that he should take the plan and send another convoy of grain as bait to lead them into an ambush and then destroy them in one fell swoop! ”
Bo Cai's eyes lit up and blurted out: "This is a good plan!" Mancheng, what do you think? ”
The other will be born with a dignified appearance, with a casual hair draped over his shoulders, it is Zhang Mancheng, who claims to be the "divine envoy", he smiled bitterly: "Zhang is now sheltered in Daqu Shuai, how dare he point fingers here?" ”
Bo Cai said unhappily: "Man Cheng, you and I are brothers, it's not chilling to say such things." I heard that on the battlefield in Hebei, our army was defeated again and again, and even the generals of Digong were killed on the battlefield, only we are still smooth sailing here, if you and I can't see each other frankly, aren't you afraid to repeat Hebei's mistakes again? ”
Zhang Mancheng groaned: "Then, with all due respect, although General Peng's plan is good, there are several problems. First, in the past few days, our army has been repeatedly attacked and the grain trucks have been burned, and it is difficult to put together a convoy in a hurry! Second, the situation of the enemy army is unknown, if our army is trapped, how many men and horses should be sent, and where should it be trapped? ”
He sighed heavily: "I'm worried that this is another trap of the Han army!" The generals of the Han army are all people who are full of opportunities, and there are endless tricks and tricks, otherwise I would not have fallen into such a field! ”
"Well said!" There was a sudden loud laugh outside the tent, and the three people in the tent got up in shock. Who is it? There was no guard in front of the tent to ask!
A burly figure strode in, followed by another wearing a cloak covering his face.
Bocai opened his mouth wide and pointed at the person in advance: "You? General Rengong! Aren't you besieged in Xiaquyang? ”
The person who came was Zhang Liang, and he smiled and said: "This will be defeated in Hebei, and I will come to meet you!" ”
Bo Cai said embarrassedly: "Where did General Rengong start with this?" Of course, the generals will obey your orders! ”
"But!" He couldn't help but say, "I heard that General Digong returned to heaven, and General Tiangong is nowhere to be found, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"General Digong was indeed unfortunately killed in battle! However, General Tiangong is still in retreat and penance! Zhang Liang said lightly, "Don't believe the rumors outside!" ”
Bo Cai was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't help but say with joy on his face: "As long as General Tiangong is still there, my Taiping Dao great cause can be expected!" ”
He glanced at Peng Tuo and Zhang Mancheng, bowed down and said, "Please ask General Rengong to give orders!" ”
With that, Bo Cai walked out of the case and gave up his position.
Zhang Liang sat down on Peng Tuo's seat, waved his hand and said: "Bocai, you don't have to be polite, you are here just to open up another battlefield, should you be here to seize power!" Of course, your men are still under your command! ”
Bocai was overjoyed in his heart, but he said respectfully on his face: "Yes!" Then there is General Lao Rengong who presides over the overall situation, and the last general waits for himself to act under orders after being the saddle and the horse! ”
"Who is this?" Bo Cai suddenly glanced at the person behind Zhang Liang, who sat silently in the depths of the big tent, intentionally or unintentionally shrunk in the dark shadow of the corner, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the true face.
"Oh!" Zhang Liang smiled, "You should all have heard his name, he is 'Mr. Zhi'!" ”
"What? It turned out to be Mr. Zhi! Bocai and the others lost their color together, stood up again, and saluted the man from afar.
As the core figure of Taiping Dao, they have only heard that the great sage and good teacher has a close friend named Mr. Zhi, who has been hidden behind the scenes, giving advice to Taiping Dao, and even Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are very respectful to him, but this person has always seen the head and the tail, and almost no one has seen it.
Bo Cai was overjoyed and said: "I have always heard that Mr. Zhi's strategy is rare in the world, and now our army is in a difficult situation of riding a tiger, please teach me!" ”
In the corner, a low and hoarse voice sounded: "Daqu is handsome and polite!" In fact, the situation here is already known to General Rengong and the old man! Da Qu Shuai said that the situation is difficult to ride a tiger is not accurate, but it should be said that it is as dangerous as an egg! ”
"No, it won't!" Bo Cai, Peng Tuo, and Zhang Mancheng blurted out together, and if others spoke so wildly, they were afraid that they would already be furious, but this statement came from the mouth of the legendary "Mr. Zhi", the first wise man of Taiping Dao, but they did not dare to refute it openly.
"You must be scolding the old decay in your heart, right?" As soon as these words came out, Bo Cai and several people looked embarrassed together, which was exactly what they thought.
"I don't blame you! Because you don't know what's going on in the outside world yet! The low and hoarse voice said slowly, "Who are the Han army generals who are attacking logistics everywhere and making you anxious?" ”
The three of them shook their heads blankly, only the muscles on Zhang Liang's face twitched slightly.
"He is the one who broke my army of tens of thousands in Hebei and made the general of the earth hate the battlefield!" That voice also seemed to harbor deep jealousy, "Han Ying Yang Captain Nan Ying, oh no! He seems to be an eagle now! ”
Bo Cai and Peng Tuo were stunned, and vaguely felt that this name was a little familiar. Only Zhang Mancheng exclaimed: "I know this person, he is the one who killed seven of my Taiping Dao commanders in Yiyang with the power of one person!" ”
Bocai and Peng Tuo finally changed color, and said in disbelief: "What! It turned out to be him! ”
Bo Cai gasped and said, "It's him!" Isn't he in Hebei? How did you get here? ”
"That's a silly question!" Mr. Zhi said unceremoniously, "General Rengong and I can come, and of course he can too!" ”
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "This person is currently the biggest enemy of our army, and he has brought at least five thousand cavalry!" Of course, there is only one purpose for coming here, which is to completely defeat the people in the east and south of my country and relieve the predicament of Yang Zhai! ”
Peng Tuo snorted coldly: "But our army still occupies the initiative in Yingchuan, what can he do with the thousands of cavalry in the Southern Eagle District?" It seems to be an exaggeration to say that the situation of our army is dangerous, right? ”
"Stupid!" Mr. Zhi suddenly shouted heavily, "You didn't even see his people, and you broke 2,000 men and horses and a lot of grain and grass, doesn't this explain the problem!" Let me ask you, how many days is there enough military rations to last? ”
Peng Tuo was stunned for a while, and said, "There are still four or five days!" ”
"And what about four or five days later? Now that Yang Zhai can't attack for a long time, are you ready to let the soldiers fight on an empty stomach! Mr. Zhi said calmly, "How is this different from suicide?" ”
"The last general is preparing to set up an ambush and lead them into the trap!" Peng Tuo was not convinced, and argued strongly: "I believe that as long as we defeat that cavalry, our army can restore the supply of grain and grass!" ”
"Defeated? You're such a big breath! Mr. Zhi let out a cold laugh, "Yan Li, Yan Zheng, Chu Yan, plus the Digong General and the Rengong General, so many Taiping Dao talents were all defeated by him alone, and there were more than ten Qu Shuai-level people who died in his hands, and even the great sages and good teachers were injured when they faced him!" Can you defeat him? ”
Peng Tuo's heart was cold, and he lowered his head and couldn't speak.
"If that's right!" Mr. Zhi sneered, "He just wants to wait for you to take the initiative to attack before he can eat us bite by bite!" How many men are you going to send to set up an ambush? ”
Peng Tuo looked at Bocai's face and blurted out: "Twenty thousand!" ”
As soon as these words came out, even Zhang Liang showed a look of ridicule.
Peng Tuo immediately changed his words and said, "Thirty thousand! But after thinking about it, that Nanying could even defeat Zhang Bao's 90,000 army head-on, but I was afraid that 30,000 was not enough.
"That's it! Needless to say! Mr. Zhi sneered, "You just take all the 100,000 troops with you!" ”
Peng Tuo smiled and didn't dare to intervene anymore.
"That kid is definitely a goblin!" Mr. Zhi said lightly, "If you go too much, you don't think about him being tricked, but if you go less, it will be a delicacy to his mouth!" Now the reason why he is constantly attacking the periphery and logistics of our army is that he does not dare to take the initiative to attack our heavily defended battalion, but wants to lure our army out of the rear field! ”
Bo Cai finally came to his senses and said with a loss of color: "Then our army is indeed in a bad situation!" Do you want to take the initiative to withdraw the siege? ”
"No!" Mr. Zhi yin**, "How can the 100,000 army be withdrawn when it is said to be withdrawn?" As long as our army is in turmoil, whether it is Huangfu Song or Nanying, they will not hesitate to pounce on us, and they will attack us back and forth when our army retreats! ”
"Not good!" The three of them were shocked, "In this way, it's really dangerous!" ”
Bo Cai's face was like earth: "Fortunately, Mr. Zhi is here, otherwise I will be in danger!" ”
He got up and bowed deeply to Mr. Zhi: "Please save me!" ”
Mr. Zhi got up slowly, but he was still wrapped in darkness, and only one of his black boots could be seen.
"It's easy! Immediately reduce the offensive strength of Yang Zhai Ximen, and disguise the illusion that Ximen's troops are insufficient! Since our army can't retreat, only Huangfu Song in the city can take the initiative to break through! ”
"But! Isn't this a return to the mountains? ”
"Of course not! You can lead your troops to set up an ambush dozens of miles outside the West Gate! Don't seek annihilation, just seek to make as much noise as possible! ”
"Why is that?"
"Nanying has traveled thousands of miles to come here, isn't it just to save Huangfu Song? If he heard that Huangfu Song had broken through and was ambushed halfway, would he have immediately shown up to help? ”
"The Admiral understands! It's really a combination of ideas! Not only did it relieve our army of the danger of grain and grass and the doom of destruction, but also took the opportunity to capture Yangzhai and eliminate the Han army of Huangfu Song and Nanying in one fell swoop! Sir is really a man of God! ”
"Alas! Let's try it! Now there is only this method, I hope not to seek full success, but to ask for half of the results is enough! ”
The pair of black boots couldn't help but shrink inward: "The old man has already suffered two big losses at the hands of that kid!" I really don't dare to underestimate the enemy! ”
