0142: Torment
In August, in Dongping Kingdom, Yanzhou, on an empty plain, a Yellow Turban Army was rapidly encamped. They seemed to be in a hurry, resulting in many places just casually, but Bu Ji, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, didn't even bother to say anything about it. Because, he is tired and just wants to have a good rest.
"Well, there is only one place around that can accommodate the rest of the army, even my group of fools will guess, so ......" Bu Ji shrugged his head on his horse, thinking helplessly.
Since Huangfu Song entered Yanzhou, he attacked all the way, and the news of regaining the territory occupied by the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou soon reached the ears of Yanzhou Qu Shuai Buji. It's just that unlike Bocai and Peng Tuo in Yuzhou who chose to lead the army to meet them before, Bu Ji didn't want to fight them at all.
Because he knew that he was no match for this officer and soldier at all. After all, the entire Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou was defeated by them, and after they entered Yanzhou, no Yellow Turban Army could stop them along the way. Therefore, Bu Ji immediately made the most sensible decision he felt at the moment, that is, to lead the army north and go to seek refuge with the Tiangong general Zhang Jiao.
Bu Ji is not a devout disciple of Taiping Dao, and he is full of disdain for the teachings of Taiping Dao and Zhang Jiao's words of the sky, and the reason why he joined Taiping Dao in the past is just to make a fortune by taking advantage of the chaos. Later, with his martial arts and years of qualifications, he went all the way to the position of Qu Shuai.
Originally, according to his idea, if Zhang Jiao could succeed, then he wouldn't mind being a founding general, and if it didn't work, then it would be good to guard Yanzhou and be the emperor. It's just that when Huangfu Song invaded Yanzhou with overwhelming might, he was intimidated.
So he decided to go to Zhang Jiao, who was much smarter than him, because in his opinion, only Zhang Jiao had the ability to save the current situation. However, he did not go alone, he knew very well the importance of the troops, not only took all the 40,000 troops under his command, but also collected the Yellow Turban Army all the way, and soon gathered an army of nearly 130,000 people.
They plundered all the way, and in a few days they entered the Dongping Kingdom from Rencheng State. At this time, Huangfu Song's troops were still quelling the chaos in Chenliu County. This situation made Bu Ji very proud, but this pride did not last long, because before he left Dongping Kingdom, a cavalry appeared.
Bu Ji knows this cavalry, or there may be no one who doesn't know this cavalry today, because whether it is the flag fluttering in the wind with the word "Champion Hou Li" or the huge white tiger, it has already spread all over the world during this time, and even many good people have praised this cavalry as the first horse in the world.
Bu Ji naturally didn't know if this cavalry was the best cavalry in the world, but he knew that since this cavalry appeared, his nightmare had begun.
Coming and going like the wind, this was Bu Ji's first impression of this cavalry. Riding and shooting, this is Bu Ji's second impression of this cavalry. Brave and good at fighting, this is Bu Ji's third impression of this cavalry. Can't fight, can't run away, this is the conclusion that Bu Ji finally came to.
This conclusion made Bu Ji very helpless, because he really had no way to deal with this cavalry. The Yellow Turban Army is generally not good at shooting, or the vast majority of the Han people are not good at shooting. After all, in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, even if you are not good at shooting, you can live well, and there is no enemy who needs to use bows and arrows or need the people to fight on their own.
The scarcity of arable land makes many people have to rely on hunting for a living, and a Yinshan mountain range does not know how many people are fed, not to mention that the Hu people go south every year, forcing these ordinary people to learn to use bows and arrows to resist the raids of the Hu people.
This result led to the Yellow Turban Army under Bu Ji's command having no way to take Li Yi's cavalry, and they couldn't fight back in the face of arrows. Where did the Yellow Turban Army come from? And if you change the route...... Speaking of which, Bu Ji did regret that he had gathered all the Yellow Turban Army around him, a total of 130,000 people, and how many places could be used for them to pass and camp and rest?
It can be said that there is no need to inquire at all, and you can roughly guess where Bu Ji is based on a map alone. Not to mention, with the speed of Li Yi's cavalry, even if he hangs behind him, Bu Ji is helpless.
In fact, just today he had already tried to change his course, but unfortunately, several scout cavalry appeared from time to time to completely shatter his illusions.
"Alas, why don't you leave at night with the people of the headquarters?" Bu Ji thought irritably in his heart, but as soon as this thought came to him, he threw it out of his mind. Because he knew that the number of the enemy was 6,000 horsemen, and if he only relied on the 40,000 men in his own headquarters, although the speed of the march could be accelerated, once he was caught up, Bu Ji was not sure that he could use those 40,000 men to block the enemy's attack.
Although he had not read a book, he also knew how much advantage cavalry had over infantry. Now the large army is constantly advancing, although it is slow and constantly harassed, but at least Li Yi does not dare to lead the army to attack it.
Thinking about it, Bu Ji, who was already exhausted, fell into a deep sleep, these days, Li Yi's constant harassment made him almost unable to sleep peacefully, and sometimes, he would even fall asleep on a horse.
Well...... In that case, why was he so naïve that he was able to sleep well today?
At night, the Yellow Turbans had already fallen asleep after eating, and only a dozen poor insects were holding on to their spirits to be on guard. Just looking at their constant yawning appearance, from time to time, they would suddenly wake up and quickly look around, obviously because of Li Yi's constant harassment, they had become frightened birds.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and almost instantly, the dozing sentries subconsciously blew their horns. After a whining sound, the Yellow Turbans quickly got up from the ground, holding their weapons and on guard, which was completely subconscious, because some people's eyes had not yet opened.
However, to their helplessness, the sound of the horses' hooves disappeared again after a while, and the Yellow Turbans did not even see the shadow of the enemy.
"Bastard! Then damn Li Yi can't do anything other than this trick?! Have the ability to fight with our army in a dignified manner! Bu Ji angrily got into the tent, closed his eyes as he cursed, and soon fell into a deep sleep. He didn't blame the sentry who blew the horn, because no one knew whether the next time the horse's hooves sounded, it would be just harassment or a direct night attack, after all, Li Yi hadn't done it before.
