137 Where is Huangfu Song?
Zhang Libu, the forward position of the 7th Infantry Company, they were less than three miles away from Guangzong City. The whole tunnel is dug here, and I don't dare to dig it. Because if it's discovered by the place, it's going to be in trouble. Their company commanders are organizing their men to carefully disguise themselves, while constantly keeping a close eye on the development of the enemy situation.
"Company commander, shall we attack?" A private asked his commander curiously.
"No, let's just watch carefully, from now on, speak quietly, try not to speak, understand?" The company commander said.
"Don't move. Be careful. As he spoke, the company commander lowered himself and went to another place. The most he said was, "Don't move." "Don't move." Only then will their situation be stabilized.
This is the closest place for Zhang Libu to Guangzong City, and less than three hundred steps away from them is the military camp of the official army, and the attention of the official army is to attack Guangzong City, otherwise, their situation may not be so wonderful.
"Sir, what's next?" A captain asked his commander, Zhang Li.
"What should I do?" Zhang Li put down the binoculars in his hand and looked around.
"I don't know, let's wait patiently, our task is to pick up those Yellow Turban Army, tell the brothers, don't complain, the Yellow Turban Army is the same as us, there are good people among them, and we want to save such people." Zhang Li said. Because it was the Yellow Turban Army that was rescued, some soldiers still had emotions, and this emotion came from their prejudice, they had been attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and most of their losses were caused by the Yellow Turban Army, so they had a great prejudice against the Yellow Turban Army, or rather, they thought that it was the Yellow Turban Army that should be killed, and the Yellow Turban Army should die, and many soldiers did not understand such a thing as the Red Turban Army rescuing the Yellow Turban Army.
Zhang Li could only let his officers do their work, and as for the effect of the work, he did not know. After all, he didn't know much about such a thing. Whether the situation is good or not, it is up to their officers to solve the problem.
The Second Infantry Regiment, the Ninth Company position, their position was chosen in a dense forest, and the environment here was still relatively relaxed. Their chief, is doing their work. For example, why did this mission rescue the Yellow Turbans?
"Sir, I just don't understand. Why should we rescue these Yellow Turban thieves, they have destroyed our home. If you want me to say, these people shouldn't have been saved at all. They all deserve to die. One of the privates said dissatisfied. Most of their attitudes towards the Yellow Turbans are like this.
"In that case, what you said is not right." The company commander said.
"The Yellow Turban Army, bad is only bad for some people, they have no conscience. There is no bottom line anymore. Our chief is right. Many people have no choice but to join the Yellow Turban Army, do you dare to say, are we all willing to rebel? The company commander asked.
"No, they don't want to be called a thief army, they also have helplessness, in fact, they are all poor like us, and the government forced them to have no way to embark on such a road, as for the bad guys in the Yellow Turban Army, our only way is to find a way to solve them, after the war, to settle their sins, in this way, everything will be revealed to the world." The company commander said.
"Today of the Yellow Turban Army, maybe we will encounter the same situation tomorrow, we rescue them, in fact, it is to rescue ourselves, do you know why we want to fight Huangfu Song?" The company commander asked such a question at this time.
"Because Huangfu Song is an official army." One of the privates replied.
"Well, that's a reason, are there any others?" The company commander asked.
"This, if Huangfu Song catches us, he will kill us." A private replied.
"Well, that's close to the real answer." The company commander said.
"This." The others thought about it, and they felt that they had answered the question as best they could. Aren't they right? If that's the case, it's embarrassing for them.
"Let me tell you, the chief told us that this Huangfu Song, the most willing thing to do, is to slaughter, in Cangting, he killed 7,000 people at once, think about it, 7,000 people." The captain and company commander said so.
"So much?" Some of the privates said nervously.
"It's too much. 7,000 people, all of our Red Turban Army were killed. One of the privates exclaimed.
"You." When many soldiers heard this, they cursed.
"Seven thousand people, do you know how many Yellow Turban troops there are in this Guangzong City?" The captain and company commander asked such a question again at this time.
"More than 100,000 people. If you let Huangfu Song kill all of them, think about how terrible this is. The company commander said. Hearing such a number, everyone was shocked, this is more than 100,000 people, quite terrifying.
"If these hundreds of thousands of people are killed, not counting, the plague that is generated, I am afraid that there will be more deaths in the future, such a thing is more hurtful. What is our Red Turban Army for, for the sake of human lives. Why are their lives so despicable, they should be alive, we should be killed, such a thing, we must stop it, we can't let such a tragedy happen, otherwise, the consequences will be quite serious. The company commander said. The other soldiers nodded,
The same words are also spreading in other units, and the company commander tells the soldiers what he wants to understand, telling them a truth, saving the Yellow Turban Army is actually saving themselves, if they are watching from the sidelines today, then they will be the next one. After this reasoning was explained, their soldiers immediately understood what kind of situation they had.
At the same time, the propaganda is not to kill prisoners of war indiscriminately, because they are also human beings, and it is not right to kill each other, of course. If the other party insists on resisting, it is not their own fault to give them a blow.
Gwangjong. The city was broken. The Yellow Turbans resisted valiantly, but alas, they did their best.
"Newspaper. The city of Guangzong has been captured, and the thief Zhang Liang has been killed in the chaos. "A junior school reported for duty.
Huang Fu Song just waved his arms when he heard such news at this time, and motioned to go down. He doesn't care about this, it's still behind the scenes.
"Report." At this moment, a small school ran nervously.
"Report, general, an army of four or five thousand people has appeared ten miles to the west, and they are coming at our army under the banner of red." Nervous report from the school.
"Bastard. Why did the army come ten miles closer to our army to report it? When a Sima heard such news, he felt very nervous, and ten miles, in the blink of an eye, appeared in front of their eyes. At this time, they had just taken Guangzong, although the thief Zhang Liang had already been ambushed. However, there are still many more people who are still resisting, which means that the Yellow Turbans are still not cleared.
"The rear army, the Chinese army meets the enemy." Huangfu Song calmly gave the order. This was the moment he was waiting for. His middle army and rear army have not moved, and the 2,000 cavalry troops in his hands have only been sent out to conduct reconnaissance operations, and most of them are still waiting for orders. That's what he prevented.
"General, the rear army is enough, and there is no need for reinforcements from the Chinese army?" A general stepped forward at this time and proposed.
"Huh." Huangfu Song sneered. Then he ordered the rear army and the middle army, 25,000 people, to line up in formation. With a one-to-five superiority in troops, Huangfu Song has a great advantage, and the rest of the army is actively attacking.
"Kill . Kill. Kill. "The conquest of the officers and troops was soon unfolded. In the center was a huge phalanx of infantry, with three large spear phalanxes at the front, loosely formed because in the rear, they had crossbowmen waiting to come forward. The sword and axe men gathered around the position of the Chinese army, that is, the position where Huangfu Song commanded the chariot. On the two flanks, there were a large number of 2,000 cavalry troops, some of them from the cavalry units of the official army, and the other part from the Wuhuan troops, who were the main military force for reconnaissance and harassment.
Shang Wu and Jia Xu were standing on an ox cart, Shang Wu was holding the binoculars in his hand to check the situation, and Jia Xu was the same.
"Do the math, how many are there?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu, and he also looked at the other party's phalanx. The two sides were a thousand paces apart, and Shangwu ordered Xiaodouzi to take the new Third Infantry Regiment of the First Corps with about 2,200 people to hide in the position behind, they were the reserve of the entire army, most of them were pikemen, they were the last assault force of Shangwu, and they were also the reserve of Shangwu. Ma Heng's 3rd Infantry Brigade plus the newly formed 5th Corps existed as the main military force in frontal contact, and to be honest, for such a battle. Shang Wu felt that it was not easy to fight. Because he has never encountered such a situation, although there were exercises as a foundation before, there is still a certain gap between the exercises and the real war.
"Huangfu Song, this old boy looks up to you very much. With 25,000 men and 2,000 cavalry, it seems that we need a large military force to kill them. Jia Xu put down the telescope in his hand and said.
"Hmm." Shang Wu nodded, Huangfu Song really looked up to him, and he actually used 25,000 people, it seems that the other party came prepared. Shang Wu originally estimated that he would face an army of 15,000 men. Who knows, the other party turned out to be more than 10,000 more than he expected.
"This situation is even worse than we thought, but what I am most concerned about now is, where is this old boy Huangfu Song? We have to find his position to be able to do that. Shang Wu kept holding the binoculars to check the military situation.
"There, in the middle, behind the Emperor's banner. That's the other party's command car. Jia Xu guided.
