Chapter 51: Victory in the First Battle
Long Jun, who was on the march at this moment, didn't know what was happening in the forest, and for the sake of safety, the Long family army decided to rest outside the city for a night, anyway, they now belong to the righteous army, and they are not afraid of the inspection of the government at all.
However, when the people in the city heard that an army of about 3,000 people had appeared outside the city, the frightened people of the city took refuge in their homes. Knowing this, Long Jun wanted to see the county order first to solve this embarrassing matter, but who knew that the county order and others had already been frightened by the yellow turban thieves, and left the county order seal and ran away.
With a wry smile, Long Jun could only order someone to preach in the city that he was a rebel and not a Yellow Turban bandit. When the people learned that the people from outside the city were not thieves or rebels, several counties in the city came to reward the Longjia army with their clansmen, and the panicked county town also quieted down.
Because the county magistrate fled, Long Jun was afraid that after he and the others left, there would be no county soldiers to guard him, so Long Jun led the Long family army to garrison here first, waiting for a new governor to be sent from the direction of Linzi. Fortunately, it is not at the junction of Donglai Chengyang, and the Yellow Turban did not notice it at the moment.
Just when they were enjoying this moment of stability, there were nearly 10,000 thieves from the direction of Zhuangwu who had rushed to him, and when he heard the news, Long Jun's body and mind were slightly shocked, and he immediately called Zhao Yun and others as well as the big families in the city.
"Now, according to the news from Zhuangwu, there are about 10,000 main thieves who have rushed to him, and if we don't give up the county seat, the city will definitely be destroyed by the other party, and the people will be coerced into the thieves. At that time, the entire Laoshan area will be returned to the Yellow Turban thieves, and we will definitely be scolded by the people of Qingzhou. ”
In fact, Zhao Yun and the three of them all knew what Long Jun meant by this, and they just wanted to make this group of big families have some blood. There was a shortage of horses in the army, and this group of people had good horses for them to enjoy, and Long Jun would never do a day job.
For a while, the big families in the hall look at me, I look at you, they all understand the meaning of Long Jun's words, when they rewarded the Long family army before, Long Jun mentioned this matter, at that time they thought that it was not actually the border of Qingzhou, and it was backed by the sea, and it was still two or three hundred miles away from the nearest Zhuangwu County, not to mention that the power of the Yellow Turban had not extended to Jiaozhou Bay at all, and they would definitely not come here to plunder thousands of miles away. But no one could have imagined that the front foot rejected Long Jun's proposal, and the Yellow Turban soldiers on the back foot had already crossed the strong force and were eyeing him.
The big players in the audience smiled awkwardly, and one of them surnamed Huang asked in a small voice, "What do you mean, little general?" ”
Everyone looked at Long Jun with expectant eyes, hoping that he would not open his mouth. Long Jun glanced around at the group of people, touched his chin and laughed, and said, "Now that we are short of good horses in our army, please find a way to help me and wait for fifty horses." ”
When they heard that Long Jun only needed fifty horses, everyone felt that it was not a lot, and the people present could still have a lot of surplus if they took out five horses.
So they all promised to send the horses when they returned. Long Jun's goal has been achieved, and after sending them out of the camp with a smile on his face, as soon as he returned to the tent, Ma Chao, who had not spoken before, immediately said dissatisfied, "Master, why do you want fifty horses?" They have at least a few dozen horses in every household! ”
Hehe smiled, Long Jun also knew that this was a rare horse in the army, so Ma Chao was dissatisfied, so he explained loudly, "Fifty horses I want are good horses, not horses!" What do you want for those horses for farm work? It's better to be direct, not to mention that with our strength, we can only form a scout team for the time being, and if we want to form a cavalry, we have to wait for Zibo to find a channel to provide us with equipment for horses! ”
Ma Chao also felt justified when he heard it. Seeing that they accepted their explanations, Long Jun continued, "Now that the enemy army is about to invade, we can't sit idly by, I have decided to lead my troops to meet the enemy in the Wild Stone Valley fifty miles outside the city early tomorrow morning!" ”
"Rock Valley?"
"That's right, we don't have more soldiers and horses than each other now, the Yellow Turban Army is on the front at the moment, and defending the city will not only lose the soldiers, but also may provoke the other party, if you fall into a tug-of-war, wait until the other thieves in Qingzhou arrive, we and the people in the city are in danger!"
Walking in front of the map, Long Jun pointed to the Crazy Stone Valley Zhengse and said, "This is a dangerous place, surrounded by peaks on both sides, there is only one road in the middle that can be crossed, as long as the other party is led here, and an ambush is set up on both sides, and when the other party enters the valley, it can be surrounded and annihilated." ”
"Then how do you lead the other party into Rock Valley? You must know that there is more than one way to go! ”
Long Jun couldn't deny Zhao Yun's words, smiled slightly and said, "What if the other party vows to kill me?" ”
Several people looked at each other, not understanding what Long Jun's words meant!
Seeing this, Long Jun didn't explain, and said with a smile, "After collecting the good horses in the city tonight, Meng Qi Zhongkang and I will select fifty of the best equestrian horses, and attack first with me overnight!" Zilong led the rest of the people to ambush on the two peaks of the Wild Stone Slope, leaving 800 men and horses at the mouth of the valley waiting for us to come and meet! In two days' time, we will annihilate these thieves! ”
For Long Jun to lead fifty people to attack, everyone tried to dissuade him at first, but Long Jun said that he had not made an inch of success and could not convince the public, and everyone could only agree with Long Jun's strategy!
That night, sixty-five good horses were sent from the city, and fifty people were selected by Ma Chao, and fifty-three people had dinner, and went straight to Zhuangwu with weapons and equipment!
Along the way, ten people were assigned to go to Zhuangwu in batches to spy on the other party's intelligence, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were a hundred miles away from them for two days in a row, until the scout came to report on the third day, and the other party was less than fifty miles away from them.
Now that he knew the location of the other party, Long Jun immediately summoned everyone and ordered, "Now that the other party is not far from us, the thieves still don't know about us, this is a good opportunity to sneak attack the other party!" ”
"Please also ask the lord to command!"
"Meng Qi Zhongkang, I will take ten people to intercept it head-on in a while, and you will lead twenty people each, until I mobilize the Yellow Turban Army, you will attack the rear army of the opponent's Chinese army, remember not to drown, after two rounds of arrow rain, immediately retreat, arouse their anger, and make them lose their minds!"
"Whoa!"
Half an hour later, the marching more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops were suddenly stopped by a teenager with ten soldiers, looking at the dozen or so people in front of him, as the first general under Qingzhou Qu Shuai Bu, Lu Tong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
He felt that this group of people was really interesting, more than a dozen people dared to stop his Yellow Turban Rebels, and after ordering the Yellow Turban Soldiers to stop, Lu Tong raised his horsewhip and pointed at Long Jun and laughed wildly, "You little doll dare to stop our rebels with these dozen or so people, didn't your father and mother tell you how to write dead characters?" ”
In the face of Lu Tong's rampantness, Long Jun smiled slightly, not caring at all, for him, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was nothing to worry about except for that Bu Ji, so he tried to provoke the other party to see if there was a chance to lure Lu Tong out and kill him directly, so he pointed at Lu Tong and said angrily, "You are a righteous army, but you are really a thief, burning, killing and looting, causing the people to be displaced, and you dare to say that you are a righteous army?" ”
"Cangtian is dead, Huang Tian should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious, the emperor of the Han court is absurd and unscrupulous, favoring traitorous ministers and eunuchs! How could you, little doll, know the good intentions of our great sage and good teacher, and dare to come here with a dry tongue! Come on, kill this man for me, and whoever kills these eleven people will be rewarded with a hundred gold, and he will immediately report to Bu Qu Shuai and promote him to a general! ”
As soon as Yan Hui, Lu Tong's lieutenant, heard that he could be promoted if he had a heavy reward, he immediately rushed towards Long Jun single-handedly, intending to monopolize his reward. Long Jun saw that it was not Lu Tong who rushed out, and with a little regret in his heart, he took out the longbow hanging on Ryoma's side, twisted up the feather arrow and sent it instantly, directly piercing his throat.
Lu Tong in the back saw Long Jun's archery skills, "Huh", his eyes narrowed slightly, he was a little surprised by Long Jun's arm strength, and began to pay attention to Long Jun. Yan Hui's death was a slight blow to the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers, but he didn't expect that Long Jun's methods were far more than these.
Killing Yan Hui, the ten people on Long Jun's side were shocked, they only knew that Long Jun's martial arts were stronger than the three of them, but they had never seen him make a move, even if they fought against Liu Aya that day, only Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu knew that at this moment, as soon as Long Jun made a move, everyone began to really believe that Long Jun's martial arts were superb!
Quietly made a gesture to the ten people, everyone knew that this was a signal to move, and hurriedly took out a bow and arrow to shoot at the other party, Lu Tong on the opposite side was still thinking about how to solve Long Jun, the kid who thought about it greeted directly with a bow and arrow, and was almost killed by a bow and arrow without checking for a while.
With his life threatened, Lu Tong was furious, drew his long sword and pointed it at Long Jun, ordering the Yellow Turban Army to attack immediately. Long Jun saw that he had succeeded in provoking the other party, and his goal had been achieved, so he didn't say a word of nonsense, and immediately turned around and ran away directly.
At this time, Lu Tong was as disgusting as eating a fly, this kid took advantage of it and ran away, and he didn't even take him as the No. 1 general of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban!
So Lu Tong, who thought he was the first general in Qingzhou, began to pursue Long Jun with his soldiers and horses, at first Lu Tong didn't feel anything, but gradually he felt that something was wrong, because the other party seemed to be deliberately hanging them, and when he was about to give up the pursuit, there was news from the rear that there were two groups of officers and soldiers of about 20 people, sneaking up on their Chinese army and rear army, losing nearly 100 people. As soon as he heard that the two armies in the middle and rear had been attacked, Lu Tong immediately thought of Long Jun in front, and the anger that had just retreated rose again. So he said hatefully, "If you don't kill this son, I, Lu Tong, will not give up and continue to chase me!" ”
"Whoa!"
In this way, the thieves of the Yellow Turban slowly deviated from the original route under the deliberate guidance of Long Jun, and followed Long Jun into the Crazy Stone Valley, originally Lu Tong could still maintain his sanity, but this way after him, Long Jun, these fifty or so people relied on the benefits of cavalry to make him suffer a lot, and even the night camp was attacked by the other party several times, and he didn't sleep well in two nights, so that Lu Tong had already lost his mind, and it didn't matter if the road ahead was dangerous!
Zhao Yun, who was ambushed here, got the news that the enemy army was about to enter the ambush site, and he admired Long Jun in his heart, you must know that this was the first time that Long Jun led the troops to fight, and used fifty people as bait to contain the other party's 10,000 people, how many people in the world dare to do this? Stabilized his excited heart and waited for the other party to fully enter the ambush area.
Entering the Crazy Stone Valley, Long Jun and Xu Chu saw that Lu Tong was really chasing in, and they were also overjoyed, and immediately led people to the other side of the valley, ready to meet the eight hundred people to completely block Lu Tong in the valley!
About a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yun saw that the Yellow Turban thieves had completely entered the valley, his heart was settled, and with a wave of his hand, rolling wood, falling stones, arrows and other objects fell from the peaks on both sides, and for a time the sound of wailing in the valley was endless, some were stoned to death, and some were killed by the rain of arrows.
Seeing this, Lu Tong understood that he was designed by Long Jun, and he wanted to straighten out the people and horses and quickly break out of the encirclement, but Zhao Yun on the top of the mountain had already seen that this person might be the leader of the Yellow Turban, so he specially ordered the archers to take care of him!
Poor Lu Tong died under the rain of arrows before he could show his due majesty. How could Long Jun miss this opportunity? The Long family army that summoned Taniguchi fought back, and in a moment, bursts of blood floated in the Yellow Turban Array.
The remaining generals of the Yellow Turban Army, seeing that Lu Tong was dead and the enemy army was extremely brave, knew that the general trend had gone, and surrendered on their knees.
After the battle, after statistics, no one in the Longjia army was killed, and a few were slightly injured under carelessness, captured more than 4,700 Yellow Turban soldiers, beheaded the enemy general Lu Tong and 3,000 thieves, and the rest all fled when they saw that something was wrong, and captured more than 50,000 stones of grain and silver, and more than 100 war horses.
Let Ma Chao select 500 Jingzhuang who did not have any crimes from the captured thief soldiers, and after being incorporated into the Long Family Army, all the rest of him distributed money and food to Zhuangwu and handed them over to the people of Zhuangwu for trial!
Before Long Jun sent someone to Linzi to report the battle of Crazy Stone Valley, the enemy's fleeing rout had already helped them to publicize it, which shocked the Yellow Turban soldiers in the entire Qingzhou region, and the three teenagers with three thousand righteous troops annihilated 10,000 soldiers and horses in Lu Tong, and the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses who learned of this incident avoided the first line of Laoshan in Jiaozhou Bay, so as not to be targeted by the other party.
Now the Long family army can be said to have greatly increased in strength, and the addition of 500 people can only be said to be the icing on the cake, and the more than 100 war horses are the charcoal in the snow.
Compared with the bumper harvest after the war, Long Jun was not very excited about Tian Kai's commendation order, but he felt that Tian Kai was not very open-minded, and he didn't give anything substantial, what was the use of just verbal commendation, even if it was to give an army number.
After lining up Tian Kai, Long Jun hurriedly ordered the troops to quickly reorganize their armaments and rush to Jimo along the route of the Dagu River. Because he got the news that Bu has 20,000 troops in Jimo at the moment, preparing to attack the Jiaodong area!
