Chapter 51: The Yellow Turban Movement
"Father, father, father......" Zhu Ning and Zhu Yan cried and threw themselves into Qiu Yi's arms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After more than 20 days of shock and panic, Zhu Zhan also showed the fragility and weakness of women, only holding his two sons and crying, and finally remembering that he still had a strong father to rely on.
While thinking about it, Qiu Yi led the army to descend from the sky and rescued the two children from the Ye clan's chaotic army, which made the two children overjoyed and shocked. Qiu Yi's heroic posture in armor was also deeply reflected in the sea of two small heads.
Qiu Yi was also happy to hold a little child in one hand and get up close to them. The two children added up to more than 80 pounds, and they still felt heavy in the left and right circles before, but at this time they felt light, and it seemed that after many days in the army, even their strength had become bigger.
Zhu Zhan snorted coldly, regained his previous arrogance and disdain, and said: "100,000 Yellow Turban Moth thieves besieged Zhaoling, but you were treacherous, staying alone in Liyang County and not returning, but let my brother and Rui Gongzi go deep into the danger to rescue Zhaoling. It's good now, my brother and Rui Gongzi were sold by the Ye family, and the Yellow Turban Moth thieves besieged them for more than ten days, but you led the troops into the city leisurely and exerted lewd power. Hmph, you want to take advantage of my brother's absence to take the opportunity to bully the old and weak women and children of my Zhu family. ā
Qiu Yi frowned, although she and Zhu Zhan are husband and wife, they have never been able to talk together, she always likes to test herself with the greatest malice, doubts all her intentions, and has the greatest vigilance against herself. With such a well-guarded marriage, Qiu Yi didn't want to continue. But he is also a son-in-law, and the initiative in the family is on Zhu Zhan's body, so that although Qiu Yi is indignant, he is helpless.
Qiu Yi replied sullenly: "Things in the army are not as simple as you think, why do you talk like this." I'll go out of the city early tomorrow morning to save them. ā
Zhu Zhan said angrily: "Do you have to wait until tomorrow? Although I am a woman, I also know that the military situation is like fire, and a one-night delay is the difference between life and death. My brother and Rui Gongzi are in deep danger, how can you wait for another day. ā
Qiu Yichang exhaled and responded: "The army of 6,000 traveled 300 miles in four days, and today it has attacked the siege of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Moth thieves, and fought a big battle with the enemy. Today, the only way to recharge your energy is to recharge your energy overnight, and eat well tomorrow morning. In addition, I have ordered Cheng Qi to lead a hundred horsemen to charge into battle, and go to the banks of the Dasha River to inform them, that they can keep watch for another night. Since they knew that the reinforcements had arrived, they were only ten miles away, and it was still possible to hold out all night. ā
Zhu Zhan shouted: "No, my brother and Rui Gongzi have no food, and holding on for more than ten days is the limit, and there is a possibility of defeat at any time." If you have a big battle with the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, the Yellow Turban Moth Thief will definitely not prevent you from going out of the city to save people again. You should be able to break through the siege again and join my brother safely. You can rest outside the city for the night, and then go back to the city with my brother and them tomorrow morning." ā
Qiu Yi couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted: "In this woman's opinion, the enemy is on the side, and our army does not have the protection of the city wall, how can we rest peacefully?" The rest is not good, the 6,000 army can only be used as 3,000 soldiers, how to have the strength to fight the enemy and return to the city tomorrow. At that time, not only will I not be able to save people, but even I will be trapped in the siege. ā
Zhu Zhan said angrily: "Wow, you finally told the truth, you are a cowardly and useless waste ...... who is afraid of the enemy like a tiger" After saying that, he stepped forward and beat Qiu Yi with his teeth and claws. Zhu Zhan was arrogant, Qiu Yi was helpless, and he couldn't fight, so he had to put down his second son and run away.
When I came to the tower of Xicheng City and looked west, there were about 20,000 thieves scattered two or three miles away from Xicheng, and there were similar thieves on all sides. Nor did they set up camps, but they were all over a radius of two or three miles. They are scattered in the wilderness, and they camp with grass. Not to mention that after Qiu Yi entered the city, he took advantage of the chaos to attack when he subdued the Ye soldiers in the city.
Qiu Yiben was prepared to enter the city first today to defend the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves' onslaught, and to quell the rebellion of the Ye clan's soldiers in the city, so that he could send troops to rescue Qiu Rui and Zhu Mian. I didn't want Ye Cun to be killed at the gate of the city first, and soon Ye Hua was successfully captured at the head of the city, and the Ye soldiers in the city also surrendered very obediently. Even the thieves outside the city were slow to react, and they reacted indifferently to the riots in the city, and did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and everything went smoothly so that Qiu Yi couldn't believe it.
The original idea was wrong again, and the Ye clan may be explained by their unwillingness to be unwilling, but Qiu Yi did not know the movements of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief. In the end, Qiu Yi could only guess that among the more than 80,000 thieves, there was no too high-level thief leader to lead them.
Presumably, Peng Tuo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu of the Chen State, just let them trap Zhaoling City, and did not expect them to capture Zhaoling. Peng Tuo's main attack position at this time should be the thousands of Zhaoling troops on the banks of the Dasha River, as long as they are eliminated, the morale of Zhaoling City will be greatly depressed, and it will be self-defeating. He didn't expect that there would be an army of thousands of people like Qiu Yi in Zhaoling City.
I saw that the ground was full of more than 200 large and small pit stoves dug on all sides, and it was already the afternoon Shen time, and it was still early before the time of the unitary time to make dinner, but the thieves were almost hungry, and they were all sitting around the stove and talking about words, waiting for the arrival of the unitary time. Farther in the forest, there are still many thieves chopping firewood, preparing in advance for the night fire to ward off the cold.
Qiu Yi shook his head, the thieves who were coerced can only be regarded as chaotic grass thieves after all, and they can't be called real thieves who know how to fight. Looking at the direction of the Dasha River from a distance, in fact, what Zhu Zhan said before also has a certain truth, but Qiu Yi understands a truth after several months of military career and several battles with thieves. Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and they should not be taken for granted on impulse without knowing anything.
First of all, it is necessary to understand the exact enemy situation, fully compare the advantages and disadvantages between the enemy and us, and make the best attack strategy. And more importantly, the retreat arrangements of the army in the event of defeat. If it is because of a momentary excitement, or a pat on the head to go to battle, there are not so many genius generals in the world who can adapt to changes, and there are no generals who are always shrouded in war luck.
Qiu Yi believes that Chen Guolai's Yellow Turban Moth thief is not difficult to break, and Gong Zhang, Qiu Rui, Zhu Mian and others are not difficult to rescue. The reason why he is so certain is based on Qiu Yi's cognition and judgment of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief as a whole.
In addition to the unification of the lack of armor, training and generals at all levels who know how to fight, the Yellow Turban Moth thieves all know how to stick to a city and a pool, and do things in the city to do things and riots. Or they have besieged the city for a long time, do not understand the changes, and cannot quickly gather troops from all over the country, but scatter them in various places and act in isolation. Even the same county does not support and cooperate with each other, so it is often broken by the Zhaoling army with fewer strikes and more defeats.
At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Thieves Uprising, although it was to build a peaceful country for the vast number of people in the world, they completely deviated from the original purpose after the uprising. He brutalized the people even more frantically than the Han court, and lost the basis of the people's support. Completely turned into a bandit who only knows how to wander and destroy, and cannot get the support of the general public, and the moment of defeat is just around the corner.
However, there are as many as 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves in Chen Guo, and it is not easy to defeat. Especially after conquering Xihua and Zhengqiang counties, at least 30,000 or 40,000 people were enrolled, and there were 13 or 40,000 people. And the real combat power of this Chen State Yellow Turban Thief is not the co-thieves of more than 100,000 people, but according to the ratio of ten to one, there will be an army of elite believers of about 10,000 to 15,000 people.
Qiu Yi had seen the elite Yellow Turban believers besieging Zhu Mian, not to mention the equipment, except for the formation, queue, and assembly were worse than the Zhaoling army. In not being afraid of death, and succeeding the previous servants, it is better than the Zhaoling army.
The reason why Qiu Yi has been worried and wary of is this Yellow Turban thief army. However, in today's battle into the city, there was no trace of this army of elite believers of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves, and most of the 80,000 thieves in the outer city were ordinary people who were coerced. There were only more than 1,000 thieves in the middle, so they couldn't stop the rapid attack of the army led by Qiu Yi, so that Qiu Yi led the army to enter the city quickly.
Therefore, Qiu Yi suspected that the elite army of the thieves was the main force of the Zhaoling army such as Gong Zhang, Qiu Rui, and Zhu Mian who besieged the banks of the Dasha River.
If there was no secret threat from this army, the 80,000 thieves outside the city, Qiu Yike, would have broken it with one blow. What Qiu Yi really needs to deal with is this army of elite believers. As long as this army is broken, the siege of Gong Zhang, Qiu Rui, Zhu Mian and others will be relieved without a fight, and more than 100,000 thieves outside Zhaoling City will also be defeated without a fight.
What Qiu Yi is waiting for in Xicheng is the reconnaissance of the combat strength of the Chen Yellow Turban Moth thieves led by Cheng Qi to the Yellow Turban Moths of the Chen State on the banks of the Dasha River, as well as the intelligence notification of Gong Zhang, Qiu Rui, and Zhu Mian that "reinforcements have arrived", so that they can restore their morale and better hold on to the night.
While waiting, I suddenly heard countless chaotic shouts from far away in the west, and the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who had just returned to Xicheng and sat on the ground stood up one after another, making a commotion. There were even a lot of thieves on the periphery, leading half of the thieves to the west to form a formation, preparing for another interception.
Qiu Yi's heart moved, and it seemed that Cheng Qi had led the troops back. Although the cavalry is fast and not easy to be surrounded, there are too many thieves, and the road in front of the city is completely blocked, and the dense pits on the ground alone will make a hundred cavalry capsize in the gutter.
Qiu Yi shouted: "Pass the order, Qiu Gong, Gao District, Che Jing, Wang Dang, Deng Dang, and Du Lei are ready to go out of the city to fill the potholes and respond to the return of the cavalry." ā
The heralds immediately hurried away, and in a short time, the six troops of the city with three thousand soldiers and horses immediately began to assemble under the west gate. The other tribes guarded the city walls, once again guarding against the Yellow Turban Moth thieves taking the opportunity to attack the city.
