Chapter 3 Troubled Times Descend Section 22 Chaos between the rivers

After a while, our main line was closing in on the enemy. From a distance, the smoke and dust on the two wings of the enemy army rushed into the sky, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already crashed into the ground formation. The two wings of the Yellow Turban Army broke up, and groups of Yellow Turban soldiers sleepwalked into our queue from time to time, until they encountered the soldiers standing on the swords and guns, as if awakening from a dream, and let out a heart-rending scream.

On both sides of the formation, the Yellow Turbans continued to flee from our side with their cloaks and heads, and they still had fear, dazed, and dementia expressions on their faces, as if they had been intimidated by extremely vicious beasts and saw the arrival of the end of the world.

Touching my chin, I wondered: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Hai are really so terrifying together? I live with them every day, but I feel that they are very gentle, as for scaring the Yellow Turbans like this?

I hurriedly instructed Tian Feng: "Fu Hao, you are here to advance with the army, and I will go to the Chinese army to see Zizheng (frustrated)." After speaking, I didn't care to listen to Tian Feng's answer, and urged the horse to come to the Chinese army.

In the Chinese army, Fu Zhi is directing the soldiers to beat the drums on the drum car. This drum cart is a vehicle used for battlefield command in ancient China, a high platform is erected on a tall cart, and the commander looks at the battlefield on it and directs the army to advance with the sound of drums.

I boarded the drum cart and looked out over the two armies.

Previously, in order to cover up, before we returned to Zhuoxian, we left all the too advanced things such as telescopes in Izumo City, and at the same time left our division soldiers. Standing on the drum cart, I thought, I hope Izumo Castle will remember to bring my binoculars and bugle soldiers with me this time.

With the help of the naked eye, I can barely discern the situation in front of me.

What a mess!

At a distance of about 500 paces from the enemy, Guan Hai's troops stayed alone in front of the formation, and Guan Zhang and Zhang had already broken into the opponent's camp. The two wings of the enemy army are scattered, only the Chinese army is still intact, and it is confronting Guan Hai, at this moment, to keep the Chinese army intact, this Yellow Turban commander's ability to command the army is really good.

In front of the formation, Guan Hai's team was arranged in a conical formation, looking at the smoke and dust from afar, Guan Zhang and the two had begun to attack the enemy's Chinese army, and the soldiers in the front of the Chinese army began to appear in an unstable situation, although Guan Hai did not begin to impact, but the enemy's front was like peeling off layers of bulbs, and the phenomenon of escaping from time to time made the Chinese army forward retreat step by step. Whenever the enemy retreated a few steps back to re-establish his position, Guan Hai swung his army forward and approached, but always stopped and waited outside the range of his bow and arrow. I could tell from me that he was looking behind him frequently.

From this point of view, when Guan Yu's handsome army came, he must have not even greeted him, and directly entered the enemy camp. As for Zhang Fei, I don't expect him to attack in concert with Guan Hai. Of course, Guan Yu did this consciously, because there were few people in the world who he looked at, so he would never take the initiative to coordinate with Guan Hai. And Zhang Fei is just a child's character, seeing the battle is like a child seeing his beloved toy and completely forgetting the people outside the periphery.

Two people in a row launched an attack on the enemy without saying hello, which must have overwhelmed Guan Hai. That's why he looked back a lot, hoping to get my instructions. But now in the midst of the chaos, how can I convey the order to him? The attendants have all been sent to Izumo City, and someone who is not familiar with him has given him an order, can Guan Hai listen?

I looked around, hoping to find someone I was familiar with.

Ah, a groom (not Sister Lin) fell from the sky, and the leader of the grooms who fed the Izumo horse is still by my side. Since the black cone and the purple horse were handed over to Guan Zhang, some of the grooms were also assigned to them, and only the groom leader had nothing to do, and walked around with the remaining 4 grooms.

I immediately leaned down and beckoned the groom to come near, and said to him, "Go and tell General Guan that I want to ask him: Is his martial arts still there?" ”

When the groom got this task, he immediately ran to Guan Hai excitedly and asked, "General Guan, the lord asked me to ask you: Is General Guan's martial arts still there?" ”

Hearing the horseman's message, Guan Hai immediately recalled that when he was chasing the Xianbei bandits, I had blamed him for not attacking the enemy immediately and delaying the time of the battle. Guan Hai immediately waved the weapon in his hand and shouted: "Sons, the lord is angry, raise his gun, and line up. Whoever dares to retreat from the battle, I will kill him first. ”

His voice was no less vicious than that of the butcher.

When the soldiers heard this, they tightened their guns and shouted, "No."

Immediately, Guan Hai brandished his tiger teeth and entered the enemy formation. With the help of the horse's high-speed sprint, the Izumo Castle's previous year's bayonet spear champion held the tiger's teeth flat, and in the bump of the horse, his arm stabbed steadily at the head of the yellow turban soldier, and the sharp and bright spear tip slid through a flat mark in the air, and a spear was picked off, hitting the enemy's throat. As he picked it up, the Yellow Turban soldier flew into the air with a dance.

Then, Guan Hai raised his hands high, danced the tiger teeth in a circle violently above his head, used a spear as a knife, and slashed at another blocker, "Kill, kill, kill", he roared all the way and crashed into the enemy formation. The yellow scarves scattered in terror all around, and the Guan Hai department followed up with guns.

After the Guan Hai army was thrown into the enemy formation, it was like adding the last handful of firewood to the boiling water, and the entire enemy camp immediately boiled. Originally, Guan Hai's hesitation was regarded as cowardice by the Yellow Turban Army, and the two big insects of Guan and Zhang were rampaging in the formation, and the only idea to support them to fight was that they were far more numerous than the enemy soldiers. Now that our brigade has arrived, the advantage of being more numerous no longer exists. And the general who seemed to be cowardly suddenly showed his hideous face, and the comparison between the front and back gave people a shock to the soul no less than the surprise attack of Guan and Zhang.

The enemy collapsed, at first it was the front battalion that came into contact with us, and then later, the **** spread to the Chinese army, and then, like an avalanche effect, the chaos expanded to the whole army. The Yellow Turban soldiers threw down their weapons, took off their armor, threw off their shoes, and fled in all directions and roads without choosing a direction or road.

The enemy army bombed the camp, and at this time, it was the reincarnation of Sun Wu and the resurrection of Tian Qi, and he could no longer control the army.

I waved my hand to stop the sound of the drums, and gave a loud order: "Give the whole army, and when the drums rise again, step by step, and shout: 'Those who descend will not die.'"

Then, the drums beat again, and thousands of voices shouted together: "Those who descend will not die." The soldiers did not have time to enter the battle before the victory came before them, which made them so excited that they all shouted hoarsely.

The overall situation has been decided, and I got off the drum car with Fu Zhi and returned to Jian Yong's back camp. Seeing us coming back, Tian Feng hurriedly suggested: "Lord, this place is in the wilderness, the enemy situation is unknown, the lord should go straight to Hejian City in one go, and let the soldiers enter the city to live in case of accidents." ”

I nodded and appreciated: "Fu Hao's proposal is really steady, but it's a pity that the three of our generals are now chasing the thieves, and we don't have time to inform them." Xianhe (Jian Yong), you just organize the team and march towards the river. Fu Gong hurried to the Chinese army and carried a snare drum cart with us. After breathing a sigh of relief, I continued: "As long as the snare drum cart is in our hands, we will beat the snare drum all the way, urge the army to march, and wait until we reach the river to gather the troops, and there will be no worries." ”

To the beat of our snare drums, the soldiers kept attacking forward. When we arrived at Riverland City, I gathered the team. Let Zou Jing enter the city and negotiate with Hejian County Yin. I commanded them to camp outside the city and rest. By this time, we had taken in about 10,000 prisoners of war, and if we entered the city in a bold manner, we would have worried the officials of the city, and they would kill them in order to avoid trouble, which is not in line with my principles.

Standing by the camp wall, I instructed the villagers to set up camp, this is the first time that the villagers have set up camp in the field, it is inevitable that they are a little in a hurry, I can only guide them step by step to set up camp.

Soon, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei returned together. Both were sweating profusely, and their horses had heavy heads on their heads. When he saw me, Zhang Fei immediately shouted: "Big brother, I am happy to kill Zhang today." After speaking, he excitedly slapped his horse and ran towards me, shouting as he ran: "Big brother, look at the head of the enemy general I killed." ”

I glared at Zhang Fei coldly, ignored his clamour, and said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, Tian Gong is responsible for counting the results of the battle in the army, and the prisoners are collected by Fu Gong. ”

Zhang Fei didn't notice my coldness, and was still shouting: "Big brother, I'll also go with the second brother." ”

I glared at Butcher Zhang and said viciously, "Yide, where do you stand for me first, and then look for you when I'm done." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he said with a displeased face: "Big brother, since this is the case, it is better for me and the third brother to wait for you to finish your work, and then go to the military division." ”

I glanced at Guan Yu, good you Guan Yunchang, and gave me an attitude, too lazy to pay attention to you.

I then turned around and instructed the villagers to bury the stakes. Behind him, the voice of the leader of the grooms sounded: "Can the two generals dismount first and let the sons and daughters walk the horses?" ”

There was a sound of Suosuo, and it was estimated that the two of them had only now noticed that the horse's neck was covered with sweat, and their hearts of love immediately welled up in their hearts. In this era, as a famous general, we love horses just as we like good cars, and such a famous horse can buy a peerless military general Lu Bu. Just now, the two of them only cared about fighting, and didn't care about horsepower, but now they calm down, looking at the sweat on the horse, they can't help but feel heartache.

After a while, the villagers gradually figured out the trick, and the work of establishing the village began to unfold in an orderly manner. I slowly turned around, looked at Guan Zhang and said, "Yun Chang, let's go, let's go to Zizheng to confess the prisoners." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he pulled Zhang Fei and motioned to go with him. After such a long period of calmness, Zhang Fei seemed to realize his mistake, although Guan Yu pulled him, he didn't move at all, and looked at me with wincing eyes. I relented, pointed my hand at him and said, "Go with you."

We led the army to the rear camp, and stood among the captives, and I wondered for a while. Is this the Yellow Turban Army, which is famous for its ferocity? Where is their destruction going? Previously, they destroyed the county and destroyed the state, and everywhere they passed, the people rushed to flee their homes, and the wilderness was deserted. Now, there is not a trace of fearlessness on their faces.

Most of these captives were old and weak women, all of them with yellow faces, unclothed bodies, and blank expressions on their faces, and they couldn't see the roar at the beginning, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky." Spirit.

Alas, a group of cannon fodder who are being used by others, just thinking about a better life under the rule of the Yellow Turbans, and now, when hope is broken, they reveal their good nature. I can't help but pity these fools, if you really let the Yellow Turban Army rule the world, will their lives be good? Even if they were given land, couldn't they use some kind of movement (such as the People's Commune) to take it back? Stupid.

According to Marxist philosophy, the so-called social replacement is nothing more than the overthrow of one privileged class and the rise of another privileged class to replace it. But the common people were fooled, and they threw their heads and shed blood for this, is it worth it? Will you be able to enjoy the fruits of victory?

Raising my hand and pointing at these yellow turban bandits, I sighed and said, "Yun Chang, look at these people, this is just a group of hungry people, if they still have a way to live, why don't they put down their hoes and pick up knives and guns?" The people are not afraid of death because life is better than death. Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: A soldier who surrenders without a fight is the best policy. I asked you to line up and attack slowly, because I wanted to use Yun Chang's bravery to force the Yellow Turban Thieves to surrender without a fight. ”

Guan Yu looked around and looked at his unbearable expression, and I continued: "If we want to rely on the remnants of the people to gain merit and kill for pleasure, what is the difference between us and these bandits? What is the difference between it and the filthy officials in the court? What is the difference between it and the wealthy? ”

I said to Guan Yu in a serious tone: "Yun Chang, the art of war is cloudy: it is the best policy to surrender without a fight. And he said, "The benevolent are invincible." If we have the ability to use military coercion to make the other side have no will to fight, and surrender all or part of our army, our army can also reduce casualties. Why the killings? With the martial courage of a virtuous brother, he will be able to dominate the world in the future, and if he encounters such a battle formation in the future, he will beg you for the people of the world for my brother - stop killing. I hope that the virtuous brother can put the people of the world first and defeat the enemy with the art of war. You are familiar with "Spring and Autumn", when you know the righteousness of Spring and Autumn, brother, I please. ”

Yun Chang was shocked, and immediately replied intentionally: "Brother is benevolent, the younger brother does not know the righteousness of the elder brother, and misunderstood the elder brother, and if he encounters a battle in the future, he will remember his brother's words." ”

I looked at Guan Yu and smiled at each other, I knew that I blamed Guan Yu with righteousness, and it was not until this moment that Guan Yu was truly convinced of me.
