Chapter Eighty-Eight: Decide to Act
Lu Zhi reorganized the army and horses, joined forces with Liu Yi and Yuan Shao, and rushed to Changshe overnight. Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Zhu Jun has asked for help several times in a row, the situation should be extremely critical, Lu Zhi is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and he will not be ignorant of this reason! After a short discussion with the two on the way, he still felt that the army's journey was too slow, so he asked Liu Yi to lead the army first, and handed over the number of horses of the whole army to Liu Yi for 2,000.
In fact, Liu Yi was still a little sympathetic to the Yellow Turban Rebel Army at the beginning, after all, the education he received in later generations made him think that it was just a group of desperate peasants! But when he came to this troubled world, he couldn't just be a fool in this life, crusading against the yellow scarf was the best time for him to gain political capital, he wanted to do everything, he wanted to promote the troubled times, and the kindness of women was the biggest enemy, Liu Yi could figure it out.
After going to the battlefield, Liu Yi really knew that there was a world of difference between books and reality, you would kill you if you didn't kill anyone on the battlefield, there was no trace of affection to talk about, and the Yellow Turban Army was not what he imagined, the experience of the battlefield made Liu Yi's heart gradually harden, which was also the first transformation after he came to this life, giving him the most basic conditions for breaking into the troubled times.
Liu Yi has never dared to compliment the combat strength of the Yellow Turban Army, and in most cases he still wins with more, even this famous Bocai has also suffered under Liu Yi, but it can be said that his confidence is based on victory after victory, which is extremely stable. Of course, he will not despise the opponent because of this, the battlefield is the most ruthless place, any smallest mistake will make you have a catastrophe, confidence is confidence, Liu Yi will not despise any opponent, "the lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength", not to mention that Bocai is proficient in the affairs of the army after all, and is proficient in the art of war, if it is not for the fact that most of his subordinates are rabble, he is a fierce enemy, looking at Zhu Jun's current situation, he knows that this person is extraordinary.
The strength of the soldiers of this battalion trained by Liu Yi was also reflected to a certain extent in this rapid march, after setting out from Luoyang, under the premise of taking care of the horsepower to the maximum extent, it was only two days and one night, and Liu Yi's headquarters arrived less than thirty miles away from Changshe.
At this time, Liu Yi no longer rushed forward, but first asked the soldiers to repair, and quickly sent more than ten scouts to investigate the situation on the battlefield! Although it is not said that it is the end of a strong crossbow, after all, it will damage the combat power, and if it is not repaired, it must not be lightly put on the battlefield.
It didn't take long for the scout cavalry to return, saying that there were about 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers led by Bocai, and at this time the soldiers had already approached the city of Changshe and were attacking the city! It seems that this wave of talent is indeed worthy of its reputation, knowing that Zhu Jun will definitely move reinforcements, so he did not give him a chance to breathe, and led the army to storm Changshe with the power of Xinsheng, intending to succeed in one fell swoop, while the Han army was demoralized and had a difficult defense!
At this time, several military marquis such as Yang Ming, Xu Huang, and Li Tieniu in Liu Yi's big tent, together with Zhang Hu, who came together, were listening carefully to the detailed battle report from the reconnaissance cavalry.
"General, this wave is really worthy of the name of the soldier, and the enemy army is strong, I am afraid that General Zhu may not be able to defend for a long time, if the Changshe is lost, our army will be in danger, please send the general to help quickly." Yang Ming's face was gloomy at this time, and he heard that the Yellow Turban Army was attacking extremely strongly, and he had more torches, it seemed that he would take advantage of the night to attack the city tonight, and he had the posture of taking the Changshe in one fell swoop.
"Yang Junhou's words seem to be inappropriate, Bo Cai is proficient in the art of war, even when attacking the city, he will also be prepared, he has an army of 100,000 under his command, but our army is only 2,000 people, the disparity between the numbers is huge, and we must not fight hard!" Liu Yi didn't say anything after hearing this, but just looked at Xu Huang, every time he was about to fight, he would let his subordinates fully perform, which was extremely beneficial to their growth, Xu Huang knew that this was to let himself express his opinion, and after pondering for a while, he spoke.
"I don't know what Gongming said, but now the Changshe is in danger, once the city is broken, the consequences are unimaginable, according to the footsteps, Lord Lu's reinforcements will not be able to come here in two days at the earliest! If our army does not come to the aid at this time, will it not be afraid of the enemy? Yang Ming continued, he is also a battle-hardened person, and everything he said is true, and Xu Huang is difficult to answer for a while.
"General, don't look at me, our Tie Niu is a rough man, whatever the general says, let's do it, I can't think of any tricks?" Seeing Liu Yi's gaze sweeping towards him again, Li Tieniu said loudly, he can be a military marquis, he is proficient in martial arts, has a bold personality, and is respected by the soldiers, and what wisdom is definitely not his forte, so he said it very calmly!
Let his subordinates give full play to their talents, and frankly admit their opinions is a habit of Liu Yi after coming to this world, no matter how a person is, he can't do everything, it is extremely important to listen to the opinions of all parties, of course, Liu Yi will never hesitate when it is time to choose.
"What is Zicai's opinion?" Seeing Zhang Hu's appearance that he didn't care about himself, Liu Yi was angry in his heart, he actually had a plan in his heart, and it was estimated that Zhang Hu's familiarity with him must have been seen a long time ago, but this person just didn't make a noise but attracted hatred! Liu Yi also wanted to establish the prestige of this chief military advisor in front of his subordinates, so he asked.
"Wang Junhou and Gongming are right, if the Changshe is lost, the army's heart will be shaken, and it will be difficult for Lu Zhonglang to deal with the threat of a big victory, so our army must go to help! And Bocai has always had a military strategy, after all, the number of our army is too small, and this matter must be very serious, otherwise it will be a moth to the fire, not only difficult to solve the siege of Changshe, but also to put yourself in! Zhang Hu said neatly.
"Mr. Zhang, doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?" Even Li Tieniu heard that Zhang Hu's words had no practical significance, not to mention Yang Ming and Xu Huang, only Liu Yi knew that this was what he had always called the style of celebrities and gentlemen, anyway, Tie Niu asked questions, and he simply didn't speak.
"Tie Niu doesn't need to be in a hurry, General Zhu is my famous Han general, how can he be incompetent, although he has been newly defeated, he still has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and there is a city in hand, although the momentum of Bocai is great, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to break the city within a day or two! The Yellow Turban Army is not good at drilling, and it is not its forte to attack the city, but this wave is also good, and it is wise to come up with a method of attacking the city at night, although it cannot reduce casualties, but it can increase the pressure of the soldiers defending the city! But now that our army has arrived, if he still wants to attack the city at night, he can let him be defeated under this Changshe City for a while! Zhang Hu smiled slightly.
"Is there anything Mr. Zhang can't say at once? I'm so anxious! This time, even Xu Huang couldn't help it, and urged him, only Liu Yi smiled secretly in his heart, you have also tasted the feeling of Lao Tzu.
"For the generals, don't be impatient, especially at the moment of the war, but also be calm and peaceful! Gongming, you collapsed too tightly, look at the general, you will know that what you say is true! ”
"What the gentleman taught me is that Huang has been taught!" Xu Huang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but then found that he and Tie Niu were the most nervous in the big tent, Yang Ming was much calmer than the two of them, Liu Yi and Zhang Hu were even more light-hearted, and they seemed to have realized something!
"Zicai, you better say it quickly, it's been hard to travel these days, and when you're done, hurry up and rest!" Zhang Hu and Liu Yi looked at Xu Huang's performance, and their eyes were full of relief, and Liu Yi also spoke.
Listening to Liu Yi's words, he was sure that he would not send troops tonight, and he was a little surprised along with Yang Ming, and Xu Huang was even more suspicious in his heart, but he had just been said by Zhang Hu, so it was inconvenient to speak!
"Hehe, I already knew that the lord had made a plan, Wang Junhou, Gongming Tieniu. Although the number of the Yellow Turban Army is large, it can be trained less, so it can only follow the trend but cannot move against the trend! Although our army is elite, it is tired from afar, its combat strength is damaged, and it is difficult to display its full strength without resting and recuperating. I expect that Bocai will not be able to attack Changshe tonight, so we only need to carefully explore the news, order the soldiers to rest and recover their strength as soon as possible, and give a thunderous blow when the enemy is tired in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and it will have miraculous results! It's just that tonight we have to strengthen our vigilance, so that enemy spies can't find out the traces of our troops. Zhang Hu said sarcastically.
"Sir is really high-minded, we will act according to the plan!" After listening to this, the three of them suddenly realized that this is indeed the best tactic, and they admired Zhang Hu even more in their hearts.
"Okay, immediately order the whole army, rest collectively, and send scouts to continue to inquire about the news of the Changshe, Zicai, I will work hard for you tonight, Yang Ming, Gongming, Tie Niu, tomorrow the fourth watch will start! Bocai, I, Liu Langsheng, want to give you a meeting gift! Liu Yi said categorically.
"No!" Several people bowed down to receive the order! A look of anticipation.
