Chapter 52: The Rabble
"This Ye Zhao, be really ruthless!" Outside the treasury, the meticulous work mixed with the refugees came back and told him what had happened, Liang Fa's heart couldn't help but sink a little, obviously Ye Zhao's actions were definitely beyond his expectations.
"Qu Shuai, then Ye Zhao refuses to be fooled, so what should I do?" A yellow turban thief looked at Liang Fa worriedly: "Without these grains, I am afraid that we will not be able to continue." ”
When Liang Fa heard this, his expression became even more gloomy, and he punched the wall fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Lu Liang is a big deal for me!" ”
Who would have thought that Ye Zhao would be able to capture the treasury occupied by the Taiping Sect with only two hundred or so people, and the shortcomings of the Yellow Turban Army and the incomplete equipment Liang Fa naturally knew it, but no matter how bad it was, he didn't expect to be defeated so easily by Ye Zhao with outnumbered enemies, and he didn't even have time to react.
"Qu Shuai, that dog has few officers and soldiers, how about I wait to attack?" A yellow turban thief general suggested that at the beginning, he felt that Liang Fa's approach was a bit redundant, and there were only a few people in Ye Zhao's hands, if he kept running, he wouldn't be able to catch it for a while, but at this time, defending it was tantamount to asking for his own death.
Liang Fa sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't want to be like this, but now the chaos in the city really made him feel a little powerless, until now, he couldn't even figure out how many people he had, except for the hundreds of people who were the first to do something, there were many Taiping disciples left, but Liang Fa found that some of his headquarters came over, and the commanders were also very chaotic, and last night there were constant reports of generals being assassinated, which made the already weak command system even weaker.
But by now, the Suiyang Mansion Treasury must definitely be taken over, otherwise the entire Suiyang Taiping Sect's uprising army will fall into a dilemma of having no food available.
He had read the book of soldiers, and the three armies had not moved, so the truth that grain and grass came first naturally understood.
"That's all there is to it!" Liang Fa nodded sullenly, now he has no other way, Ye Zhao must have made preparations on his side: "Transfer some more people over!" ”
"Uh, we have seven hundred elites here, isn't that enough?" Several Yellow Turban thieves looked at Liang Fa suspiciously, thinking that he was making a fuss.
"Not enough, do as I say." Liang Fa shook his head.
Elite?
Before fighting Ye Zhao, he also felt that these bandits brought from various cottages could be regarded as elite, even if they were not inferior to the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, otherwise when he robbed the prisoners, it would be impossible to defeat the county soldiers who escorted him.
It's just that sometimes, this person has to die more than others, and the goods have to be thrown away, when he led these elites to besiege the government, he already felt that the so-called elites were a little unworthy of the name, and a good commander was also quite critical to the combat effectiveness of an army, and on his side, he didn't seem to be able to come up with a commander who could compare with Ye Zhao, he couldn't do it, and others couldn't do it.
Even though there were hundreds of centaurs around him now, several times that of Ye Zhao, Liang Fa still didn't have much confidence that he could defeat Ye Zhao with these centaurs.
"Whoa!" Although a yellow turban thief general didn't understand why Liang Fa was so cautious, he still learned to sing like a general, and then sent someone to gather people.
Soon, a large number of Taiping Sect members poured over one after another, and I am afraid that even Liang Fa never thought that he would summon so many people with one order.
Looking at it, the open space and streets around the warehouse are all the heads of Wuyang and Wuyang, it is not spectacular, originally Liang Fa just wanted to recruit one or two thousand people, no matter how powerful Ye Zhao is, he doesn't think that Ye Zhao can use the little force in his hand to be one as ten, after all, this is the treasury, not the city wall
But now, at a glance, I can't see how many people have been recruited, in short, it will be filled in all directions, and Liang Fazhi frowned when he saw it, how could he attract so many people at once?
"Why are there so many people?" Liang Fa asked the doubts in his heart.
"Qu Shuai, last night there were constantly assassinations of our generals, and many of the troops lost their leaders and were gathered together by other leaders." The Yellow Turban Thief said, "But there are so many people, it should be enough, right?" ”
Liang Fa nodded and smiled: "It's okay, the more the merrier." ”
In the past, Han Xin ordered troops, wasn't the more the merrier? Liang Fa felt that what he had learned over the years should come in handy.
"My lord, how many people must be here?" On the city tower of the treasury, looking at the head of Wuyang Wuyang, Qiu Chi felt that his legs were a little weak.
Ye Zhao ignored him and carefully checked the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, Liang Fa stood in the crowd and couldn't observe it, but Ye Zhao was condescending and could see it clearly.
As far as what I saw in front of me, there were three or four thousand people, and there were constantly people coming from all directions, but Ye Zhao suddenly smiled: "This battle is worry-free." ”
"Lord, are you ......" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao in astonishment, and wanted to ask, Lord, are you crazy.
It's just that now, the Yellow Turban Army gathered outside doesn't know how many times as many times as theirs, and ten times is definitely more than that, so what's so worry-free? Where does this optimism come from?
"Fang Yue!" Ye Zhao ignored Qiu Chi's astonishment and turned his head to look at Fang Yuedao.
"Humble duty!" Fang Yue took a step forward and bowed.
"All of you go to the city, take two or three county soldiers and seven county guards to surrender, and prepare to defend against the enemy." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Whoa!" Fang Yue agreed expressionlessly, not discouraged at all because the enemy was outnumbered.
Qiu Chi still wanted to say something, but the people and horses in the treasury had been quickly mobilized by Fang Yue, although they were untrained, but according to Ye Zhao, using veterans to lead new soldiers, even if they couldn't be well-trained, they still gathered in a very short time, Guan Hai, Gao Sheng, and Meng Hu led people to start distributing weapons, and Fang Yue began to teach some basic methods of defending the city.
Outside the treasury, Liang Fa had already begun to command the Taiping Sect to attack, but for more than an hour, the Taiping Sect failed to launch a decent attack, and was driven over several times, and before they could get close to the wall, they were shot back by a random arrow.
The most important thing in this treasury is materials, Ye Zhao is not stingy, including the surrender army, they are all armed to the teeth, after repelling several waves of Taiping cultists in a row, this group of surrendered soldiers has lost the cowardice that they hesitated before, at least they will not be cowardly, plus under the leadership of the veterans, they patrolled the city wall one by one, but they also had a bit of momentum.
Outside the treasury, Liang Fa had a feeling of wanting to scold, at this moment he felt more clearly the importance of losing the treasury, in the face of Ye Zhao's bow and arrow, they didn't even have the ability to fight back, they could only fight for their lives to go up, which made the Taiping disciples who had no morale even more demoralized.
