Chapter Eighty-Five: Dumbfounded (Nine More Requests for Subscription)
When the sky was bright, the flag representing the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city had been replaced with the Han flag, standing under the city tower, looking at the past from afar, but seeing the soldiers and armor at the head of the city, at a glance, there were all human figures.
"How can there be so many people in the official army?" He Yi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, he obviously felt that there were not many thieves last night, how could so many people pop up in the city overnight?
He Man and the others were also at a loss when they heard this, and the ghost knew.
A yellow turban general said carefully: "Could it be that the dog official drove the people to the city?" β
That's what the Yellow Turban Army did, so he thought of this possibility for the first time.
He Yi frowned and looked at the city, and after looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, you see those soldiers, standing straight one by one, they are definitely not the people." β
On the city wall, Ye Zhao pressed the sword with one hand, and took several military marquis to inspect the city wall, at the front of the city wall, there were Yellow Turban troops that were incorporated one by one, although these people were a rabble, but individually, they could be regarded as young and strong, even if Ye Zhao lacked people, he would never incorporate the old and weak women and children into the army, just let these people stand in a military posture, and they couldn't show their flaws for a while.
After this first row of soldiers, it is much simpler, one by one the straw men are strung into a row with wooden sticks, and then the weapons are inserted, and then carried back and forth by one or two descendants, the scene looks a little funny, but it is far away, and from the bottom up, you can only see the heads of people on the city wall.
"General, is this really okay?" A military marquis took a cautious look at the Yellow Turban Army outside the city walls.
"If you can't do it, you have to do it." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice: "You have done enough momentum, you are working hard today, whether you can suppress these yellow turban thieves depends on you, after dark, it will be simple." β
You don't even need a straw man at night, you just need to let people carry a row of torches back and forth, but during the day, this faΓ§ade can not be sloppy, this is the first day, and it is also the day when the Yellow Turban Army is at its peak, and when today is over, everything will be easy to say.
After all...... He Yi left in a hurry, the grain and grass were all left in the city, Ye Zhao is really curious now, how did He Yi make this decision, if it were him, he would immediately order the generals to restrain the subordinates, hold the important place, and drive the officials and troops out of the city step by step or gather and rape them, for this reason, Ye Zhao also specially sent six teams of men and horses to occupy the important place as soon as possible after entering the city.
Now it seems that it is useless to do it, but the six teams of men and horses who are tired because they can't move, they fell into the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army, and finally died in a tragic battle, and they are also the most aggrieved group of the five hundred soldiers who lost last night, and now it seems that their death is not worth it.
Facts have proved that fighting with the Yellow Turban Army, Ye Zhao's previous cautious advantages may become the shortcomings of the soldiers at any time, but unfortunately, the military mobilization power is not in his own hands, if he is in the position of Huangfu Song at the moment, he can mobilize the elite of the DPRK, why fight so hard, there are Luoyang Five Colonels plus newly recruited soldiers, not to mention the Yellow Turbans in the area of Dangping Yuzhou, it is also much better than now.
Of course, if Ye Zhaozhen sat in Huangfu Song's position at this moment, Ye Zhao estimated that he would make the same choice as Huangfu Song, after all, military merit is only valuable if the enemy is strong.
Huangfu Song raised thieves with self-respect, and he was indeed able to make a lot of benefits for the Huangfu family, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Ye Zhao's fire.
Shaking his head, putting aside these messy thoughts, the officers and soldiers in the army still have time to rest in the past three days, Ye Zhao has not closed his eyes for three consecutive days and three nights, rushing with the soldiers during the day, analyzing intelligence at night, and making strategic deployments with Dian Wei, basically Ye Zhao makes plans by himself, and then tells his generals how to fight, counting on Dian Wei to give him advice, Ye Zhao feels that it is more reliable to let him charge into battle.
"Don't be discouraged!" Ye Zhao saw that everyone was a little afraid of the enemy, and frowned: "You wait to fight with me all the way, have you ever seen me lose a battle?" β
Everyone couldn't help but relax a little when they heard this, the Liang Guojun was established by Ye Zhao, most of these generals followed Ye Zhao before this, and even followed Ye Zhao under Ye Zhao since Youzhou, Ye Zhao has experienced a lot of battles along the way, but few have suffered losses.
"Don't worry, even if someone in this world can defeat me, I will never be in this Yellow Turban Army." Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little soothed, Ye Zhao smiled.
At least not yet!
At the end, Ye Zhao silently added in his heart, he has never been arrogant, but he has also passed the psychological age of arrogance and arrogance, he has seen too many geniuses fall because of this problem, so even if the combat power of the Yellow Turban Thief makes Ye Zhao not even raise his fighting spirit, but for every enemy that appears, at least until he fully understands, Ye Zhao will not make a presumptuous assertion.
In this battle now, Ye Zhao has seven points of certainty that he can win, of course, the most important thing is that as long as He Yi can be frightened today, tomorrow, without the support of grain and grass, He Yi, who has no military heart at all, will greatly reduce the threat, and he will not even need to do anything, he will be self-defeating.
Of course, if Ye Zhao can be given three days to relieve, and if He Yi hasn't left by then, it will be time to counterattack, based on the analysis of He Yi's character in the intelligence, Ye Zhao feels that this is very likely.
A group of soldiers were infected by Ye Zhao's self-confidence, their minds relaxed a lot, and their self-confidence reappeared on their faces, and they began to continue to urge the soldiers standing in the front row not to show timidity, and pinched the time, when the time came, they changed to another group of people to step forward and continue to stand in a military posture, which is also a kind of training for these recruits.
can persist in the face of the momentum of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops under the siege of the city, and it can be carried to the battlefield in the future.
Compared to the eerie silence at the head of the city, the Yellow Turban Army under the city is a different look.
Last night was already a collapse, He Yi finally regrouped the soldiers and horses, during which I don't know how many people were scattered, and the 70,000 army of Ruyin was shocked, and now it is roughly calculated, and the people who can gather here are only in their early 50,000s, although there was a weapon fight last night, but the real battle died, I am afraid that even a thousand people are not enough, plus those who trampled on each other and died, there are only one or two thousand people, this attrition is basically a deserter who fled after leaving the city, and those who cannot be found can be recovered, and the cohesion of the Yellow Turban Army can also be seen here.
Even if these stayed, they didn't sleep all night, they didn't get a drop of water, no matter their physical strength and will, they were not high, at this moment, seeing that He Yi had not given the siege order, many generals couldn't control the place, the yellow turban thieves sat on the ground in groups, chatting and farting, or some simply lay on the ground to sleep, making a mess, making He Yi a little uneasy.
"Qu Shuai, do you want to fight?" He Man leaned over to He Yi and asked in a low voice.
Spank!
He Yi looked at the Han soldiers with bright armor on the city wall, with a depressed expression, they came out in a hurry, and there was no time to move out the siege equipment in the city, and the most embarrassing thing now was that although there were many people, there were no siege equipment, not to mention heavy weapons such as rams and catapults, and even basic things such as ladders and bows and arrows were not brought out.
If you can't even go up the city wall, how can you fight?
I wanted to withdraw, but when I thought of the previous question, He Yi suddenly thought of another question...... I forgot to take the grain and grass, or rather, there was no time to move the grain and grass out at that time, the city was already in chaos, and there were not many people who could be mobilized, He Yi was in a hurry to reassemble the team at that time, so there was no time to be distracted and move food out.
originally thought that as long as the troops and horses were regrouped, they could break through the city wall at any time and recapture Ruyin, but now facing the two-zhang Ruyin city wall, He Yi was suddenly a little at a loss.
Don't look at the city wall is not high, but you can't go up without a ladder, not to mention that there are a large number of officers and soldiers guarding the city wall.
The three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, even if He Yi does not understand military affairs, but he has heard this sentence, who will fight with you without food?
"Take some food to the surrounding cities." Glancing at the direction of the city wall, He Yi whispered to He Man: "Send someone else to make some siege ladders, and we'll do it in the afternoon." β
In any case, the food problem will be solved first, and then the decision will be made according to the situation.
"Grain?" He Man looked at Ding Yi with some embarrassment: "But haven't you searched for a while before?" Now that the spring ploughing has just been completed, which family still has surplus grain? β
Among the many Yellow Turban thieves, He Yi is one of the more benevolent, although after occupying Ruyin, he gathered a lot of food, but the people nearby will leave a mouthful of food to eat, so as not to starve to death, compared to those Yellow Turban Army generals who only know how to loot and cross the border like locusts, He Yi attaches more importance to the people, and because of this, He Man will be puzzled.
"I can't care so much!" When He Yi heard this, his face turned gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Even if you rob it, you can grab it for me, otherwise there are so many of us and there is no food, and we will have to disperse today!" β
"Yes!" He Man also sensed the seriousness of the problem, nodded fiercely when he heard this, found a few close generals to join him, and led a group of people away.
He Yi's benevolence and righteousness are actually the set of thieves in the past, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and He Yi doesn't want to break this rule until the last resort, because he has tasted the benefits before, not only does he not rob the surrounding people on weekdays, but even if he has the conditions, he will also take a help, and then the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed, it is precisely because the people ventilated and reported the news, not only did they not encircle and suppress it, but even in the end, they were surrounded and suppressed by him, so even if he has become a party commander now, He Yi still pursues this theory.
However, that means that in the case of less than a last resort, now that we have encountered a last resort, the army will disperse without food, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it, at this time, where will He Yi care about what rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest, and get through the current difficulties first.
