Chapter 92: The Wise Favor (Second Update)

Finally, the original black powder and the original fuse were made, first a batch of pottery containers were specially fired to hold it, and then according to Lu Bu's proposal, anthracite coal was used to replace the proportion of charcoal in the fuse and gunpowder, and the stability was really improved a lot.

However, due to the difficulty of obtaining and extracting raw materials, the production of these raw black powders was very low.

In this battle with the Yellow Turban Army, it was only the engineer battalion that carried a small amount of black powder, placed it in a moisture-proof wooden box, and carried it carefully, which was originally intended to be used by the sappers to blow up the mountain and open the way.

When Lu Bu, Cheng Lian, Zhu Ling, and Zhang Liao were studying tactics, the original plan was to fill the woods with fire oil and then use rockets to ignite them.

Only then did Lu Bu know that the black powder had been equipped in small quantities to the engineer battalion. In order to minimize the casualties of the Bingzhou Army and kill as many main forces of the Yellow Turban Army as possible, Lu Bu decided to use black powder in this battle.

More than a dozen primitive detonators were buried deep in the woods, and then a long fuse was made, and a few daredevils were sent to be responsible for igniting the fire.

Unexpectedly, the power of this black powder was really huge, and the effect and scene were amazing.

In order to keep secrets, Lu Bu called the black powder technology Tianhuo, and the detonator called Thunder Fury, and asked everyone to keep it strictly secret.

He wrote a letter to Jia Xu saying that the production and development of black powder must be kept strictly secret, and that within a short period of time, it will no longer be used by the troops.

He didn't want the gunpowder technology to be exposed to the world too early, stimulating the leap forward of the war technology tree, the butterfly effect was too terrible.

In fact, in addition to the first battle using gunpowder, the ambush battle of Gall Tao was also a classic textbook-like actual combat case of "encirclement and reinforcement".

Lü Bu used the county soldiers and some ordinary people to pretend to be the main force of the Han army, surrounded Gall Tao, made the illusion of besieging Zhang Bao, and forced Zhang Bao to ask Zhang Liang for help.

The main force of Zhang Liang's Yellow Turban Army, especially the 5,000 elite Yellow Turbans, was transferred from the fortified Gaoyi City, and an ambush was set up in the plains and wilderness, and finally succeeded in ambushing and annihilating the main force of the Yellow Turban Army of up to 35,000 people.

Subsequently, Lü Bu pretended to be Zhang Liang's troops by Chenglian's first brigade, and used several generals of the Yellow Turban Army who surrendered to deceive Gaoyi County, easily eliminated the participation of the Yellow Turban Army in the city, most of them surrendered, and captured the guard general Pei Yuanshao alive.

When they learned that it was Gao Shun who was shot and wounded by Pei Yuanshao, Cheng Lian and other generals of the state army demanded that Pei Yuanshao be executed.

Lu Bu stopped everyone, since Pei Yuanshao surrendered sincerely, as Zhang Liang's confidant, he still knew a lot of secrets of the Yellow Turban Army.

And if an enemy like Pei Yuanshao and the state army can surrender and avoid death, when they encounter other Yellow Turban troops in the future and persuade them to surrender, isn't this the most convincing example?

The whole army rested for a day, and Lu Bu recruited a group of former Yellow Turban elite soldiers and ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers with outstanding physical fitness from the surrendered Yellow Turban Army who had been persuaded and educated by the secretaries and were willing to join the Bingzhou Army to supplement Zhu Ling's Third Brigade.

Then 2,000 soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were willing to join the Bingzhou Army were selected to form an army alone, and some company platoon leaders and veterans with meritorious service were transferred from the Rongyi Division and the trap camp to serve as officers and form an independent regiment.

The head of the regiment was served by Hao Zhao, and the deputy commander was Pei Yuanshao, Pei Yuanshao was grateful, and had already told Lu Bu all the secrets of the Yellow Turban Army and Taiping Dao that he knew.

He was very grateful to Lu Bu for not only not killing himself to avenge Gao Shun, but also entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, he also apologized to Gao Shun in person, the two armies were fighting, each for its own master, and Gao Shun couldn't blame him for anything.

Although Pei Yuanshao didn't know what rank the deputy head was, he would not be low if he was in charge of two thousand people.

The first task of the independent management was to escort the remaining 20,000 prisoners from the battle to the county seat of Xiaquyang, and then to Daijun along with the previous 5,000 prisoners, where a new prisoner of war camp had been built to accommodate the Yellow Turban prisoners of war.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu led a large group of men and horses to gall Tao, preparing to surround Zhang Bao, and halfway through, he received an urgent report from the lieutenant of the county army who was pretending to be the state army outside the city of gall.

It is said that Zhang Bao in the gall Tao City in the middle of the night last night led more than 5,000 of his subordinates to break through the siege and attack the camp, and the Han army in the large camp outside the city were all pretended to be county soldiers and ordinary people, and they were powerless to stop it.

After Zhang Bao easily broke out of the encirclement, he fled to the southeast, and the lieutenant did not dare to hide it, so he sent someone to deliver a letter to Lu Bu overnight.

Lu Bu unfolded the map on the horse, the southeast direction, then there is no need to ask, it must have fled to Guangzong and Zhang Jiao to join forces.

If you escaped last night, you must not be able to catch up, so let's recover the county seat of Gauntow first, how to say that it is also the county seat of Julu County, and it is also a great achievement to recover the lost land.

When they arrived at the county town of Gatao, the commander of the county soldiers was leading the county soldiers to welcome the arrival of the state army with the people.

This lieutenant is quite sensible, and he is not in a hurry to enter the city, but patiently waits for Lu Bu's arrival.

Lu Bu saw the welcome of the county soldiers and the people, and his own state army became the first batch of troops to enter the city, and he was very satisfied with the performance of the county and state soldiers, so he specially called him to his horse, looked up and down, and saw that he was not good-looking, and saw that he was also behaving decently, and did not grovel.

Lu Bu asked, "I don't know if this captain has a big name?" Where are the people? ”

"Seeing General Liao, the surname of the subordinate official is full of favors, the name is Boning, the current lieutenant of Zhongshan State, and a native of Changyi."

"Oh, you're full of favors?" Lu Bu had the impression that Cao Wei seemed to have such a minister, who was famous for his cool methods. "Along the way, you followed behind our army, but there were a lot of aftermath work that troubled you, and you handled it well."

"In this way, I want you to stay in my army and help me do things, I'm afraid that the little lieutenant will not be able to show your strengths!"

Full of favor is not pretentious, what a character Lu Bu is, he is fortunate to follow his left and right, he really can't ask for it.

"I have thanked the general with full favor, and I am willing to lead the horse for the general, and I will never give up!"

"So very good, after I make a real decision, I will protect you as the prime minister of Changshan, you have to help me guard Changshan, this is the gateway of my annex to the state, I will transfer troops to help you, clear the Black Mountain Army and the Yellow Turban Army in Changshan."

"Full of favor will not disgrace his life, for the general, for the state to guard the door!" Full of favors hurriedly expressed their loyalty.

"Okay, with Berning's help today, the gate of the state will be safe and secure!" Lu Bu got a help, he was open-minded, digging into the corners of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu was tired of it!

After staying in Gall for a few days, the scouts had already found out within a hundred miles that Zhang Bao and his subordinates had indeed withdrawn to Guangzong and joined forces with Zhang Jiao.

In Jizhou, many of the Yellow Turban Army directly under Zhang Jiao shrank back to Guangzong. After all, Lu Bu's name and achievements are there, I heard that Lu Bu personally led the state army and occupied the gall pottery, and his third brother Zhang Liang also died at the hands of Lu Bu.

How could Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao not have palpitations, although they were saddened by the death of their third brother, but since they were determined to start an incident and devote themselves to the rebellion of overthrowing the Eastern Han Dynasty, their personal life and death had already been put aside.
