Chapter 56: The Withering of the Flower of the Insurrection I
"Woo~Woo~"
The melodious and mighty horn sound resounded inside and outside the city of Guangzong.
Liu Chang rode a solid-colored horse with a black body and a head shaped like a rabbit, and at this moment, the war horse named "Mo Qilin" by Liu Chang was snorting, silently watching the scene in front of him.
"Xiu'er, don't go on this trip to Qingzhou. I asked Qin Hao to take a team of guards to send you to Luoyang, and you are waiting for your eldest brother and me to return triumphantly in Luoyang! Liu Chang, who had a set of soft armor on his body, a white curtain wrapped around his head, and a three-foot Qingfeng on his waist, said goodbye to the teary-eyed little beauty in front of him elegantly and chicly.
Diao Xiu'er pursed her lips and nodded, this was the first time he had to leave his side in more than half a year, although he knew that his battle was not difficult, but there was still a trace of reluctance and helplessness in his heart.
"Big brother, it's time to go!" Li Siyuan, who was beside him, listened to the change in the sound of the horn and urged on the side.
Liu Chang turned around the horse, looked back at Diao Xiu'er with teary eyes, and spit out two words heavily: "Wait for me!" After speaking, he raised his whip and drove his horse with Li Siyuan to the place where the army gathered.
And at this moment, Diao Xiuer couldn't hold back any longer, and with tears in her eyes, under the escort of Qin Hao and more than ten horsemen, she went in the direction of Luoyang.
On the vast wilderness, Huangfu Song was dressed in bright silver armor, carrying an eight-foot silver spear, majestically inspecting the 100,000 Han troops in front of him. Behind him, four horses were lined up, the first person from the left wearing red feather forest armor was Cao Cao, who joined the crusade army as a guest, the next person was wearing a scribe's uniform, and Eguanbo was Yan Zhong, a strategist under Huangfu Song, and on the right hand of Huangfu Song was Huangfu Jianshou, the eldest son of Huangfu Song, who was also wearing bright silver armor and a seven-and-a-half-foot spear in his hand, and the next person was Liu Chang, who also joined as a guest army, but was awarded the position of joining the army, wearing dark blue soft armor.
"Let's go!" After standing for a long time, Huangfu Song waved the spear in his hand and gave a loud order.
The giant deer, known as the giant deer in ancient times, or the giant land. Located in the middle of the North China Plain, although the terrain is open, there are the Yellow River and the Zhanghe River to protect it, it is one of the nine Ze in ancient times, and it is an important place for soldiers.
Huangfu Song's army marched for a day and night, and at this time it had entered the jurisdiction of Julu County, and suddenly heard the sound of killing in front of it, accompanied by the characteristic drumming of the siege.
"Left and right, quickly send scouts to find out, what's going on in the direction of Julu? In addition, the whole army was ordered to rest for the time being! Huangfu Song ordered on his horse.
"No!" The herald did as he was told.
Soon, two scouts emerged from the formation and probed ahead.
"Report ......"
In less than half a moment, a scout galloped back, stopped his war horse less than five feet away from Huangfu Song, and said with a fist: "Tell the general, there are more than 100,000 yellow turbans gathered in front of the deer, and they are attacking the city. ”
"What? Zhang Bao? Strategist Yan Zhong was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked, "How do you know it's Zhang Bao?" Can you see clearly? ”
"This ......" The scout was unable to deal with it for a while, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "Returning to the military division, although I didn't see Zhang Bao himself, I saw the handsome banner of the Digong general, so I deduced that it was Zhang Bao who was in charge. ”
When Yan Zhong heard this, he was about to reprimand the scout for the crime of guessing indiscriminately without ascertaining the situation, Liu Chang came to the Chinese army from the rear army, and shouted as he walked: "General, it's not good!" Zhang Bao broke through! ”
When Huangfu Song heard this, he turned his head to look at Liu Chang, and said with a puzzled face: "Shiming, what Zhang Bao broke through?" Please tell me carefully! ”
"No!" Liu Chang bowed and promised, and then immediately informed Huangfu Song and everyone of the information he had heard.
It turned out that Zhang Bao built a barrier and a water village in Le'an Country, not because he intended to hold on, but because he intended to paralyze the military and civilians of Qingzhou. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, when the Qingzhou Volunteer Army celebrated the festival and the armament was relaxed, the Yellow Turban Detachment under the command of Shuai broke through the encirclement, and after nearly one-third of the casualties, it still led more than 30,000 people, after two days of rapid marching, arrived in Jizhou, and then gathered the remnants of the troops in Quyang, and two days later, that is, today the 100,000 people of Quyang were coerced to march north into Julu.
"Hiss......" After listening to Liu Chang's narration, everyone was embarrassed by Zhang Bao's ability.
Huangfu Song's face was calm, he looked at Changshi Liang Yan and asked, "Who is the Julu Guard?" ”
Liang Yan saw Huangfu Song asking himself, so he frowned and thought for a while, and then replied: "General Hui, Julu Taishou is Guo Dian." When His Majesty announced the ban on the Taiping Sect and the capture of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, he executed all the Taiping Sect disciples in Julu City, and made Zhang Jiao and other bandit leaders flee to Guangzong as a last resort. It was learned from the documents reported by him that no less than 100,000 Taiping followers died in Julu City. ”
"Well, it seems that this Guo Dian is still a usable talent!" The emperor bowed his head and praised. After speaking, he glanced at the surrounding generals and ordered loudly, "The whole army set off, defeat Zhang Bao, and rescue Julu!" ”
"No!" Soon the army marched out and went to rescue Julu.
At this time, the upper and lower parts of Julu City were already full of corpses. Zhang Bao took the coerced people as the vanguard and constantly attacked Julu. So far, no less than ten charges have been launched, and more than half of the people have been killed or wounded, but they still cannot enter the city.
"Someone!" Zhang Bao sat on the chariot under Shuai's banner and beckoned people to order, "Allocate another 30,000 people and 10,000 whelms, and be sure to capture Julu within an hour!" ”
"Order!" A leader stepped out as ordered. Just as he was about to transfer his troops, there was a lot of smoke and dust in the west, accompanied by a rumbling sound, and by experience, it seemed that a cavalry force of no less than 10,000 people was rushing towards this side.
Soon, a cavalry team dressed in the reddish-brown armor of the Han army appeared in the sight of both warring sides. The first member of the general is carrying the "Huangfu" flag, wearing bright silver armor, and a seven-and-a-half-foot bright silver gun in his hand, which is the Huangfu Li who has just recovered from injury, and on the left side of the matter Luoyang Xinfeng Cavalry Captain Cao Cao, on the right hand is Liu Chang's sixth brother, Li Siyuan, who was temporarily named the cavalry army of a thousand households by Huangfu Song.
The entire cavalry team lined up the cavalry's favorite arrow formation, which came straight from the west side of Zhang Baojun's army.
In this era, the power of cavalry was very strong, especially against peasant armies that lacked battle equipment and armor. It can be said that this is a massacre.
Zhang Bao was in a hurry to raise his troops, and the bows and arrows and other combat equipment were far from enough, so he wanted to rely on human lives to push Julu down, but when he saw that he could take Julu by attacking the city again, the cavalry of the Han army came.
Helpless, tired! This is Zhang Bao's mood at this time. calculated the paralysis of the Qingzhou army, the emptiness of Quyang, and the small number of soldiers in Julu City. But the only thing that was not counted was the arrival of Huangfu Song's army.
Zhang Bao was annoyed, so he had to order the whole army to retreat to Quyang, and then make plans. At the same time, 30,000 people were left to act as meat shields, wanting to drag the Han army for a while.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes. In the face of the powerful impact of the cavalry, a single charge broke up the wall of people blocking the road ahead. Blood splattered everywhere he passed, stumps and severed arms, and all kinds of organs flew into the air.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, Zhang Bao hurriedly got off the chariot, grabbed a war horse, and quickly retreated to Quyang.
As soon as Zhang Bao, who was the commander-in-chief, left, many yellow turban leaders also fled in all directions. And the people who were being held hostage saw that the people who threatened them were gone, and they turned to their knees and surrendered to the Han army.
On Julu City, Guo Dian, who was dressed in tattered clothes, stood on the ground with a blood-red three-foot Han sword in his hands, looking at the Han cavalry that suddenly appeared, he couldn't help it for a while, and shouted in tears: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming!" Reinforcements are coming! But there was a dead silence in response.
(Headache, fever, this chapter dragged on for a day, I'm very sorry for the friends who chase books!) )
