Chapter 327: Thunder (8)
This black turban army originated in Sun Guo, so it is also divided into 369 and so on, such as Zhiguo, Xu Guo, Xianguo's guest army, has always been cannon fodder, Sun Guoren served as the main military and political command class.
Therefore, the rebels of more than 10,000 people are all gathered by like, Xianguo people get together, Zhiguo people get together, Xu people get together, and finally Sun Guoren huddles in the middle of these people, letting others rush to kill as cannon fodder.
Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) found out the internal structure of the rebels, and at the beginning of Lu Zhao's troops mixing into the rebels, he deliberately asked him to mix his men and horses in the crowd of Zhiguo and Xu, and took the lead in concentrating to the north to block the rebels' way to flee north.
Now that Lu Zhao is so tossed, more than 2,000 people were pulled over by him in an instant, and there were more than 7,000 rebels left, more than half of whom were from Xianguo, and less than 3,000 people were from Sun Guo.
Seeing that Lu Zhao had already done something, Bai Liyan motioned to Lu Gao to step forward and shout again:
"Listen to the rebels, the Xian army gives preferential treatment to the surrendered people, but those who are willing to serve, the Xian army will not refuse to treat them equally, but all the people of the Xian country will not be investigated for the previous crimes, and if they are obsessed again, there is only a dead end. The general counted to ten, and those who refused to surrender were killed. One, two, three...... Four! Five! ”
When he counted to five, he heard a whooshing arrow, Lu Gao avoided it, and an arrow hit him in the chest, but it shot through the leather armor and blocked the chain mail.
"Phew!" Lu Gao pulled out the arrow, spat and scolded: "Look, some dog mongrels can't see the general telling the truth, and the two armies have resorted to the means of releasing hidden arrows. There are five more, count to ten, and if you don't descend, you will be killed. Six, seven......"
When he counted to the eighth tone, Lu Gao looked back at Bailiyan, which meant very clearly, there would be no more Xu Tan's accident. Bai Liyan nodded, and motioned for the crossbowman to open his bow and prepare to release the arrow.
With the sound of a creaking and rattling of the bowstring, the atmosphere became unprecedentedly tense, Lu Gao had counted to nine at this time, and the outermost Xianguo rebels finally couldn't withstand the huge military and psychological pressure, and some people took the lead in throwing away their weapons, followed by the sound of metal impacts one after another, and more people chose to put down their weapons.
Seeing this, Sun Guo's rebel general was furious:
"Bad seeds, pick up the weapons for the general, pick them up!"
The rebel general shouted hysterically, and Lu Gao saw that the opportunity was ripe, and shouted again with a loudspeaker:
"So, everyone else is tired of it, isn't it? Very good, all listen, the descender immediately retreated to the west, lying in front of the formation, whoever dares to move, kill! ”
As soon as the words fell, under the double pressure of military pressure and psychological offensive, the situation quickly became clear, and the troops hesitated for a moment, and retreated to the side of Su Hong and Bai Hesuo one after another. Sun Guo's rebel general was annoyed and angry, and ordered to shoot several people with arrows.
Seeing this, Baili Yan pulled out a horizontal knife and pointed straight at the center:
"Crossbowmen obey orders, target the armed man in the center of the square, release the arrow!"
At the sound of an order, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the rain of arrows covered the sky with an arc and flew to the center of the square, and the sound of popping and snorting resounded through the sky, rushing towards the rebels like raindrops, and the sound of arrows and shouts came and went one after another, and the rebels of 3,000 people fell in pieces in the arrows that were dense into the locusts, and fell in a pool of blood and groaned in pain.
The archery skills of the county soldiers are not very good, thousands of arrows are shot seventy percent, or intentionally or unintentionally, after a volley, there are still two thousand six or seven hundred people standing, which means that five thousand arrows shot at the three thousand people gathered together, and in the end only three or five hundred people were hit, such a low hit rate, except to describe it as a chill, there is nothing else.
"Brothers, fight!"
The rebels roared and charged in all directions, only to be rewarded with a cold volley, and hundreds of people fell in quick succession under the cluster of arrows that had crept into the locusts.
And at the same time, a horse came at a gallop:
"General Wei, urgent, someone just sent this letter and package to the government office, asking for it to be handed over to the general immediately." The cavalry quickly said that the letter and the package were handed over to Bailiyan.
The letter was unsigned, the package was small, and it was unknown what it was.
"You know who sent it."
"The subordinates don't know, the person has been detained."
Bailiyan was the first to open the package, and it turned out to be two belly pockets, one was a woman's belly pocket of silk brocade, and the other was a purple leno, faintly revealing two faint fragrances. Bailiyan suddenly felt inexplicable and didn't know what it meant, so she immediately opened the letter and looked at it carefully, her face immediately sank, and the nameless fire rushed to her heart.
"This bastard!"
It was none other than Qin Han who wrote the letter. The belly pocket was taken off Jiang Rong and Xiao Chunyu, and the content of the letter was very simple, I asked Bailiyan to obediently give up Guangxin, otherwise you two women are in my hands, and you will weigh the consequences yourself.
If you want to say that other things have been detained, it is good to say, when you think of women, it is Bailiyan's eternal pain. Wang Rui's wounds have not yet healed, and now arresting his two women is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
As the saying goes, dragons have reverse scales, and they die when they touch them, and wolves have dark thorns, and they die when they see it, Qin Han is the sore spot of Baili Yan, but it is not a weakness. Bai Liyan's most hated person in this life is to use his woman as a bargaining chip to blackmail him.
In a fit of rage, the letter was shattered by Bailiyan's death, and he put two belly pockets into his arms, and Bailiyan said in a deep voice:
"General Lu Gao!"
"The end will be."
"Order the battalions, the long soldiers in front, the short soldiers in the rear, the crossbowmen follow, the whole army marches in unison, compress the rebels, but those who struggle to resist and do not surrender will be killed."
"No!"
The battle was coming to an end, Qin Han misjudged the situation, and sent the letter to Baili Yan at the most undesirable time. At this time, the rebels were at the end of their crossbows, one breaking through to the north and the other to the east, all of them were in a dying struggle.
In less than half an hour, the rebels of 10,000 people surrendered and killed under both soft and hard measures, and finally ended up in a tiger's tail.
The fierce battle continued, and Jiang Qian received Qin Han's letter and urged him to find Bailiyan:
"Wei Xian, Qin Han, a despicable villain, took my little sister as a hostage and asked me to leave the city."
Jiang Qian handed over the letter, Bai Liyan didn't even look at it, but said coldly:
"Despicable tricks are nothing more than that, the rebels have now collapsed, what big waves can he Qin Hanyan make. The young master immediately dispatched troops to arrest Qin Han and drive him out. ”
"Wei Xian, my little sister is still in his hands, won't it be because my father gave you a marriage and despised my little sister's life."
"The young master has said it. Since Gong Jiang promised the county lord to marry me, Wei Mou's dignified seven-foot man, if he can't even protect his own woman, how can he stand between heaven and earth. He Qin Han is now a lost dog, if he wanted to find death, he would have already broken the boat, but now he is using a woman as a hostage, threatening you and me, which shows that he has no guts to hurt the county lord.
On the contrary, he cherished his wealth as his life, how could he be willing to die, if Qin Han knew that the soldiers and horses had been suppressed by our army, he would definitely save his life at all costs, and how could he hurt the county lord.
The young master only needs to open the east gate to prepare the horses and let him go, and Qin Han will obediently release the county lord. ”
After several brief fights with Qin Han, Bai Liyan has a general understanding of Qin Han's temperament, first of all, this person is ruthless and can kill anyone who dares to block his interests, such as the horse thief Huo Xing and others.
The second is to regard money as fate, from his malicious occupation of the Guangxin market, monopolizing the price of resources, and even not hesitating to take risks and smuggle goods into the country from abroad, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person who likes money, but is obsessed with the devil and is sick.
The more this kind of person, the more his personality is polarized and extreme, from bold to timid as a mouse, all in an instant. For the sake of profit, he can be ruthless. In the same way, in order to keep the property, it is possible to compromise and admit it.
For people like him, he also thinks of the rebellion, and a series of strategies set at the beginning of the rebellion exposed Qin Han's short-sightedness and incompetence. Knowing that the Xian army had arrived outside the city last night, he was still waiting and seeking stability, if he suddenly raised troops at that time, not only would Baili Yan not be able to enter the city, but Guangxin would also fall into the hands of Qin Han.
What he worries about is the wealth and prosperity of Guangxin City, Qin Han's storefronts and pots in Guangxin City, and the trouble at night is bound to be a fight between the two powers, and the slightest accident will affect the whole city, if a fire is burned, the consequences will not be inferior to the fire in the east of the city, Qin Han is reluctant, it is these glory and wealth that life does not bring, death does not take away.
is such a mercenary villain, who has played the Xianguo in the palm of his hand for more than ten years, is such a gang of profiteers, behind the operation of the Black Turban rebels, a riot group to wreak havoc all over the world, gathered together is just a handful of dirty bugs who usurp power for profit.
The rebels quickly disintegrated and annihilated in the encirclement, and captured more than 1,000 people alive, so that the total number of surrendered and disarmed troops reached a small 8,000, while the strength of the Xian army that actually surrounded the rebels was actually only 15,000, and only 5,000 people could be safely put into battle, which was far from the 30,000 people that Lu Gao boasted.
But it was 15,000 people who successfully broke up the rabble of 10,000 people and forced the landing of 8,000 people, the reason for which was not only the choice of strategy and timing, but also the fundamental reason was that the Black Turban Army had laid the root cause from the beginning of the uprising.
The premise of unifying the world, standing at the height of the overall situation of historical development, should be the unity of cultural and ethnic identity, and the close connection between economy and transportation.
In fact, instead of disrupting cultural boundaries through population migration, it played a role in bridging the differences between the people of various countries and enhancing cohesion, but also because Sun Guo was the base of the Black Turban Army, Sun Guoren naturally played an absolute dominant role in the rebels.
This kind of exclusive power privilege class has exacerbated the estrangement and distrust between the guest army and the guest people, otherwise even if Lu Zhao makes any noise, it will be difficult to pull the Zhiguo people and Xu Guoren in the rebel army over at the first time.
In the foreseeable future, the internal contradictions of the Black Turban Army will intensify, and the day it stops expanding, it will be the beginning of the transition from prosperity to decline, and the rapid decline will also be unprecedented.
