The army of Wuyuan County can't come out of the nest, and the family has a big business, so it can't pat its ass and leave at will, and it is necessary to leave a group of soldiers and horses to guard here.

In view of this, Ma Chao decided to appoint Tian Yu, Zhao Zhao, and Xian Yufu as the county commanders, and appointed Tian Yu, Zhao Zhao, and Xian Yufu as the county commanders, respectively in charge of the external defense of the counties of Wuyuan County, leaving 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry for the use of the three generals.

And because he is already a general of the 5th rank of the imperial court, he can appoint the military position of the generals under his account.

Sheng, Su Dingfang, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, and Sima Co were the lieutenants of the Northern Army; Bai, Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun were the captains of the Northern Military Department, and a total of 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry were drawn and accompanied by him to the Youzhou Yellow Turban.

[Name: Zhang Xiu (20 years old, grade A)]

Country: Eastern Han Dynasty

Title: Gun King of the Northland (inactive)

Loyalty: 50

Official position: Lieutenant of the Northern Military Department of the United Prefecture

Force: 81

Commander-in-Chief: 65

Strategy: 54

Interior: 10

Bond: None

Talent: Marksmanship (Morale is greatly increased when leading a mid-range class)

Stunt: Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear

Equipment: Tiger Head Golden Gun

Carefully checking Zhang Xiu's personal information, Ma Chao believes that the "medium-range troops" in Zhang Xiu's talent and spearmanship should include two major arms, cavalry and infantry, and are subdivided into lancers, spear infantry, spear cavalry, halberd cavalry, halberd infantry and so on.

Among them, the Liangzhou cavalry is a typical spear cavalry corps, because the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the bilateral stirrup has not yet been popularized, so when the spear cavalry fights, when the group charges, throwing the spear to fight.

As for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry mentioned in various novels, wild histories, and folklore, it is definitely not the Liangzhou cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the war horses of the Eastern Han Dynasty are insufficient, and they are all light cavalry, and the "Iron Cavalry" is definitely a heavy cavalry, a fully armed cavalry that rushes and kills.

At present, what Ma Chao wants to do is to arm a heavy cavalry corps, and if you want heavy cavalry, in addition to basic equipment such as stirrups and saddles, you also need enough smelting and wrought iron technology, and you also need to increase the exploration, collection, transportation and so on of iron ore.

It can be said that building a strong heavy cavalry corps requires Ma Chao to spend considerable manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

The 30,000 northern army of Bingzhou began to march towards Youzhou, and where the banner fluttered and swaggered, countless horse thieves, bandits, and Hu cavalry avoided one after another to prevent being killed by Ma Chaojun.

In the camp tent of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Headquarters, Qu Shuai Cheng Yuanzhi and Deputy Qu Shuai Deng Mao were planning the march route, and they set off from the Youji Yellow Turban Army Headquarters and entered the first county of Youzhou territory, which was Zhuo County.

"Report!"

Deng Mao frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"The scout came to report, and a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in the west, with a total of 30,000 people!"

Deng Mao sneered: "30,000? Scold! ”

He is fierce by nature, he likes to kill, they have 50,000 people in Youzhou Yellow Turban, since the march, the nearby displaced people have joined, and in a few days, it will definitely exceed 60,000 people, which is naturally not worth 30,000 officers and soldiers.

However, Cheng Yuanzhi was cautious by nature, and he asked, "Who is the leader?" ”

The scout reported: "The imperial court only recently enthroned the general Ma Chao. ”

"5 Pin to ask General Kou? Ma Chao? ”

"Who is this? Why haven't you heard of it? ”

Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao looked at each other, and Deng Mao said impatiently: "Who is the fuck?" Chop one by one, chop two, chop a pair! ”

"No, we should carefully investigate Ma Chao's reality and make a plan."

Cheng Yuanzhi was too cautious, and Deng Mao smacked his lips: "Tsk, Lord Qu Shuai, I didn't say you, my Yellow Turban Army adheres to the way of heaven, why should there be a lot of taboos and hold back?" ”

"If Lord Qu Shuai doesn't dare to go, then I, Deng Mao, will go for you, first capture Zhuo County, as a base, and then kill Ma Chao without leaving a piece of armor, in order to report to the Third Gong General!"

After that, Deng Mao gave up his hand, walked straight out of the camp tent, and ordered his troops.

"You!"

Cheng Yuanzhi was furious, Deng Mao was a good man with good force and brave in battle, but he repeatedly committed crimes, brutal and unkind, and anyone who dared to go against him would be cut and killed, and the corpse would be slaughtered for him to vent.

Such a murderous person, General Sangong actually appointed him as the deputy commander of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, which also made Cheng Yuanzhi very worried.

In the first battle of Youzhou Yellow Turban's invasion of Zhuo County, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei hurriedly led the newly recruited 8,000 volunteers from Zhuo County to meet the battle.

On the battlefield on the plain, Deng Mao rode a war horse and laughed wildly: "You are a fool, dare to disobey the orders of the Third Duke General, and want to compete with the Yellow Sky Army, I don't know whether you live or die!" ”

"Phew!"

Zhang Fei couldn't help it, and scolded: "Damn, who are you scolding stupid?" I think you're a fool! ”

How dare you scold me?

Deng Mao looked at it, and the guy in front of him looked like a big man with a big black face, and he actually called him a fool?

"Whew! Don't look at what kind of bear you look like, Lao Tzu scolds the stupid man, and you are the one who scolds! ”

The two iron-clad men scolded each other, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu each led a team of volunteers to bypass from the left and right, and went around to the back of Deng Maojun.

Zhang Fei was so angry by Deng Mao that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, he screamed, waved the eight snake spears in his hand and rushed out, and stabbed Deng Mao.

With a bang, Deng Mao opened the snake spear with a big knife, pulled up the horse's head, raised the front hooves of the war horse, and stomped down the horse, wanting to kick Zhang Fei into a pulp.

In the critical situation, I saw Zhang Fei spin around, wield a snake spear in a big detour, and slashed horizontally with his backhand, cutting off the body of the war horse!

The war horse was in pain, and with a long neigh, he screamed miserably, and actually threw Deng Mao out!

Deng Mao did a backflip, landed on the ground gently, held a big knife, and fought with Zhang Fei, the two sides fought together, and after several rounds of fighting, there was a sudden scream among the Yellow Turban Legion behind.

"Ah——!h

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

The Yellow Turban Army looked behind him, and he actually killed a volunteer soldier from the thorn, led by a red-faced man, wielding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and slashed down, and a big crack was actually broken in the ground!

The power of a knife deters thieves!

"Wow!"

Dozens of people who were close to Guan Yu were cut open by Guan Yu's second knife, like mowing grass!

The blood sprayed all over the eyes, carrying countless corpses and human flesh, pasted the faces of the Yellow Turban thieves, and many timid thieves screamed in fright, threw away the weapons in their hands, and went to attack the Yellow Turban Army formation.

"Don't come, don't come!"

Guan Yu led the army to rush and kill, brave and brave, the big knife waved past, all the heads rolled to the ground, blood flowed like a river, no yellow turban thief could survive a round under him!

Hearing the screams behind him, Deng Mao looked back, I'm a mother!

There are a total of 50,000 Yellow Turbans in Youzhou, and Deng Mao brought 20,000 people to attack Zhuo County at one time, which has not yet entered Zhuo County, and the military formation has actually been broken!

"Hahahaha! My second brother is invincible in the world! ”

Zhang Fei laughed, holding a snake spear, taking advantage of Deng Mao's unpreparedness, a sneak attack cut off one of Deng Mao's arms!

Poof!

Blood spurted out frantically from the wound of the severed arm, like a spring spray!

Deng Mao, who had lost a lot of blood, had a pale face, covered the wound on his broken arm, and was about to retreat with a yellow scarf, Liu Bei held a double-strand sword and killed him from the other direction.

"Yellow Turban Thieves! I, Liu Bei, have been waiting here for a long time! ”

The three brothers of Taoyuan joined forces, strangled back and forth for a while, and 8,000 volunteers broke 20,000 yellow turban thieves, killing one cheerfully, one by one, like slaughtering pigs and dogs.

By the time Ma Chaojun arrived, Deng Mao's head had been suspended on the city wall of Zhuoxian County, shaking in the wind.

Ma Chao, who was sitting on the chariot, raised his head, blocked the sunlight with his hands, squinted his eyes, saw that it was a dead man's head, and said in surprise: "Whose dead man's head is it?" ”

Left and right replied: "The Yellow Turban Thief just came to kill one, but was defeated and lost by the volunteers of Zhuo County." ”

"Oh~"

It seems that it is Liu Guanzhang Sansao.

"Report!"

The scout came to report: "Tell the general, the Youzhou Yellow Turban is coming!" There are still more than 20 miles to go from our army! ”

Ma Chao ordered: "The whole army is arrayed and ready for war!" ”
