Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 62 Mobile Annihilation of the Enemy
In the depths of the dense woods, hundreds of soldiers were lying or sitting, occupying the glade between the forests, and the war horses were also lazily lying on the ground, and only a few soldiers were vigilantly distributed in the forest, observing the movements around them.
A big man sat up from the ground abruptly and said in a Qiang language, "General, why do we want to stay here?" The brothers' dry food and water are about to run out, and we should go into the city as soon as possible to rest! ”
"Nonsense!" A young man in armor leaned lazily against the trunk of a tree, with a piece of grass root in his mouth, "There are all Yellow Turban troops nearby, as long as we expose our whereabouts, we will be blocked by them one day!" Brothers, many of them are injured now, and they can't fight hard! ”
"And! General Zhao Ming is still trapped in Yangzhai! The young general stood up, stretched out his hand and slapped the big man on the head, and said, "If we abandon him like this, my lord will pick my skin!" ”
The big man touched his head and said, "With the general's ability, how can he be so in awe of that lord?" I always heard the general mention him, but the last general and others had never seen him! Who knows if he's that godly? ”
The general's face sank and said: "Pay attention to your words, talk about my lord like this, Hugh blames Ben for turning his face!" ”
The big man shrank his head and said with a smile: "The last general is just curious in his heart and wants to see the real face!" ”
He straightened his chest and said: "The last general's life was saved by the general, and of course your lord is my lord!" It's not rude to want to meet your own father-in-law, right? ”
The general laughed and scolded, "Phew! Even Jiang Huan of Guanghanqiang is such a heroic figure, he is just a commander under the lord's account, you want to recognize others as the lord, who knows if the lord will agree! ”
"Sure enough, there are a lot of heroes among our Qiang people under the lord's account!" The big man's eyes showed a look of fascination, "There is such a lord who values our Qiang people so much, it is really rare in the world!" ”
"More than that! Even many of the barbarians are the lord's subordinates! A hint of nostalgia flashed in the general's eyes, "I just don't know how the lord and General Gao are doing now!" ”
The big man also showed hope: "General, didn't I hear a few days ago that the lord has made many great contributions, and the situation in Hebei has been reversed!" Do you think he will come to our aid when he learns about our situation? ”
"That's for sure! Because the lord never abandons any brother, even if you are just a pawn! The general said solemnly, "But the premise is that we can't give up our brothers around us in the first place!" ”
"Yes! Remember! The big man also bowed his head in a rare awe-inspiring manner and said, "Never give up your brother!" ”
"Excellent! You have to save your own life, and you have to protect the lives of your brothers! A warm look flashed in the general's eyes, and he gently patted the big man's shoulder: "We will definitely live, and ...... Hey? Did you hear that? ”
He suddenly stared and listened.
The big man's heart tightened, and he hurriedly listened carefully, but he only vaguely heard an eagle roar in the distant sky.
The general was shocked, and flew away like an arrow out of the forest. The big man didn't know why, so he had to follow quickly.
The general flashed out of the forest and looked up at a small black dot hovering in the distance in the sky. He carefully observed the trajectory of the small black dot flying, and couldn't help but say in ecstasy: "It's really the eye of the sky!" It's our people who are coming! ”
He took out a bamboo whistle, put it between his lips and blew it vigorously, and a sharp sound immediately spread far away.
The little black dot approached quickly, but it was a majestic harrier eagle, which circled above the trees, let out a sharp eagle roar, and suddenly turned around and flew north.
The big man couldn't help but say in a hurry: "Look, general, our eagle has flown away!" How good is that! ”
"I don't know how to pretend to understand!" The general smiled and scolded, "Quick! Order all your brothers to line up at the edge of the forest and get ready to meet the friendly forces! ”
About 800 Qiang cavalry who had lost their armor quickly formed a phalanx at the edge of the forest, although their equipment was not in order, their expressions were tired, and many of them were still suffering from injuries, but everyone's spirits were very high, and finally they waited for the friendly army, and also waited for hope!
After a while, there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, and all the Qiang cavalry couldn't help but change color together, they were born on horseback since childhood, and of course they could recognize that this was a large group of cavalry approaching quickly.
Is this really an ally? How could there be so many cavalry! There are thousands of people, to say the least! The Qiang cavalry writhed restlessly on their horses, and peeked at their general, only to see that the general was smiling with joy.
The tidal cavalry finally appeared on the field, and the Qiang cavalry exhaled softly, full of the banner of the Han army, and it seemed that they were indeed friendly forces.
Only the general trembled at the banner in the distance, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he suddenly rode up to meet him.
The cavalry of the Han army parted like waves, and a long-haired young man in black clothes and black armor rode out, and he smiled and said, "Qiang Tong is really you!" Good brothers! You didn't disappoint me! ”
The general rolled down his saddle and dismounted, fell on one knee and shouted, "My lord! ”
A pair of strong and warm arms gently lifted him up, and a soft voice sounded in his ears: "You have suffered! I'll leave the rest to my lord! ”
"Lord!" The general's tears welled up like a fountain, and the exhaustion of many days seemed to have recovered in an instant.
"That's it! Now that the situation is critical, let's gossip! Nanying and the generals chose a secluded place in the forest, and immediately convened a temporary military meeting, "Qiang, let's talk about what's going on first?" How could the Han army be attacked by the Yellow Turban Army? ”
"Yes!" Qiang Tong knew that he would ask about it, and he kept telling what had happened.
Zhang Mancheng, who called himself the "divine envoy", was defeated in Nanyang and was forced to lead 30,000 remnants of the army to retreat to Yingchuan, and joined forces with Bocai and Peng Tuo, with a total military strength of 100,000. The Han army on the south road was also divided into two routes, one was led by the general of Wuhuan Zhonglang to lead 10,000 troops, and continued to clean up the Yellow Turban in Nanyang, and the other route led 20,000 troops to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and met with Qiang Tong, Zhao Ming's department and Yingchuan Han army, a total of about 40,000, and formed a confrontation with the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Changshe.
Changshe City is a small city, can not accommodate 40,000 troops, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun two generals each led 20,000 troops, one garrison outside, one closed inside, each other is the horn of the trend.
The two sides played against each other for three days, with each winning and losing. Huangfu Song suddenly had a plan, and secretly ordered people to collect the things that ignited the fire, preparing to defeat the enemy with fire when the southwest wind rose. Unexpectedly, when the southwest wind had not yet risen, Bo Cai led the army to attack the Han camp at night, and set fire to it, the fire ignited a large number of fire-burning things in the army, and the fire was out of control, and the 20,000 troops of Huangfu Song were burned to the ground. Zhu Jun saw that the situation was not good in the city, and hurriedly brought troops to help, but was defeated by Peng Tuo and Zhang Mancheng, two generals who were secretly ambushed.
By the time Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun finally broke out of the encirclement, only 20,000 of the 40,000 army remained, and Changshe City was also captured by the Yellow Turban Army. The second general had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Yangzhai.
Qiang Tong volunteered, led more than 1,000 Qiang cavalry, and the Yellow Turban Army that pursued and killed for a night, and finally succeeded in covering the main force of the Han army to retreat into Yangzhai, but its troops lost nearly half, and the road into Yangzhai was also cut off by the Yellow Turban Army, so he had to escape into the mountains and forests and wait and see the changes.
After listening to Qiang Tong's story, all the generals were silent, how could the Yellow Turban Army be so strong? Even the two generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who are as famous as Lu Zhi, were defeated! Now the Yellow Turban Army has 100,000 troops, and the limelight is strong, while the Han army has lost all its grain and grass, trapped in Yangzhai, and only relies on the thousands of cavalry brought by Nanying to turn the tide of the war, which is really difficult to compare!
Only Nanying was shocked when he heard it, shouldn't Huangfu Song be burned by a fire in history? Why is it completely reversed! Is it because of yourself! Doesn't this mean that the direction of history that we have mastered will be completely rewritten?
When the generals saw him bow their heads and remain silent, they only said that he was also worried about the war, and they did not dare to speak.
Wei Gaoshun guessed a few points, because he had heard Nanying talk about his worries about losing control of history more than once, and he coughed lightly: "Water and fire are ruthless, and there is no enemy against me!" Not long ago, Nandi burned 20,000 yellow scarves into ashes with a fire. Just as victory and defeat are also a common thing in soldiers, now that the main force of more than 200,000 Yellow Turban Army has been wiped out in Hebei, what else can he do with the 100,000 Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were in high spirits, and Qiang Tong also smiled and said: "Exactly, the last general also heard that the imperial court also sent reinforcements in time, one route to the imperial capital, one route to Huaisi troops, and one route to the Yingchuan Theater!" ”
Hou Cheng also shouted: "Not bad, not bad! What is the fear of 100,000 yellow turbans, our 6,000 cavalry rushed straight to Zhang Bao's 90,000 army that day, didn't they still kill them and bleed like a river? Even Zhang Bao was slaughtered on the spot! Today, our army still has nearly 6,000 cavalry, and it can continue to be brilliant! ”
The generals were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they all became agitated, shouting that they wanted to go straight to the Yellow Turban Army camp.
Nan Ying was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he said lightly: "This time is different from the past!" On that day, Zhang Bao's 90,000 yellow turbans were marching with labor divisions, and they divided their troops into advances, only to be defeated by our army one by one on their march with lightning speed, and they didn't even have time to put up a defensive formation. But now we are facing a well-defended, impregnable Yellow Turban Army camp, with 6,000 cavalry to set foot on the camp, it is really looking for death! ”
Qiang Tong nodded and said: "Our cavalry can only exert their maximum combat power on the plains, and I am afraid that when we go to the camp, we will not only fail to achieve good results, but also give the lives of our brothers in vain!" ”
Gao Shun smiled and said, "Brother Nan, what strategy are you going to use to break the enemy this time?" 100,000 Yellow Turbans are not something that can be eaten in one bite! ”
"One hundred thousand?" A sneer appeared on Nanying's lips, "I'm afraid that if they lose, they will be defeated by this huge number of people!" ”
He squatted on the ground and drew a mark of the city with stones: "Although I have not been to Yangzhai, but from the map, there is no dangerous terrain near this city, so! ”
He drew a big circle on the periphery of the city: "The 100,000 Yellow Turban Army must be surrounded on all sides, blocking Yang Zhai so that not a single Han army can slip through the net!" ”
Qiang Tong nodded and said, "That's true, it's the same as the scout sent by the last general!" ”
"Do you calculate, how much grain and grass do 100,000 Yellow Turban Army need to eat horses and chew for a day?" Nan Ying threw the stone in his hand on the ground, clapped his hands and said, "In order to quickly besiege the city, they must be traveling lightly, presumably the grain and grass they carry with them should not last a few days!" ”
Gao Shun's eyes lit up: "You want to use the mobility ability of the cavalry to carry out a non-stop attack on the enemy's logistics baggage!" ”
"Not bad!" Nanying said lightly, "This is the only way to win without having to fight hard!" As long as they are strangled to eat, it won't be long before the enemy army will be in chaos! ”
"But what if the enemy discovers our tactics?" Hou Chengkou said, "The last general thinks that they will definitely send troops to clear us!" ”
"That's exactly what I wanted!" Nanying laughed and said, "They won't have an army of 100,000 people, right?" If there are more troops, Yang Zhai's predicament will not be solved, and if there are fewer troops, it will become an oil war, and our army can use the superior cavalry to eat them one by one! This method of fighting by constantly moving and waiting for an opportunity to destroy the enemy army in motion is what I call mobile annihilation of the enemy! ”
"What's more!" He touched his stomach, "If you don't fight logistics, you can't do it!" Even we only brought five days of food and grass for the journey, and if we didn't replenish it in time, we would be hungry! ”
"Ben will order!" Nan Ying finally called himself a general, as soon as he opened his mouth, all the generals stood up together, "From tomorrow, the whole army will be divided into six teams, Gao Feng, Dian Wei, Pei Yuanshao, Hou Cheng, Qiang Tong and Ma Jun will each lead a team, take turns to attack, give priority to attacking the enemy's logistics, all that can be moved will be snatched back by Lao Tzu, and those who can't move will be burned by his mother, and those who find that the enemy army with less than 1,000 people can attack freely, and more than 1,000 people will immediately return!" Do you get it? ”
"Yes!" The generals shouted in unison.
Dian Wei touched his head and said, "Lord, this doesn't sound like a war, it seems to be quite interesting!" ”
The generals also laughed excitedly in unison.
Nan Ying shouted with a straight face: "Shut up! All of them look awesome! Have you ever played this tactic? You have to learn from Qiang Tong and Gao Feng, the point is to come and go like the wind, and run if you fight! Whoever is greedy for merit and love war will now be exempted from your qualifications to participate in the war! ”
The generals all shut up obediently.
Nan Ying turned his head and smiled bitterly at Gao Shun: "Now I am only worried about one thing, will Yang Zhai City be able to hold out until the Yellow Turban Army runs out of food?" ”
