Chapter 190: A Narrow Road Encounter
When the rest of the people heard Tian Guohua's words, although there was still some fear in their hearts, but under the urging and seduction of their stomachs and food, these people still sat on their seats one after another, and everyone was like they hadn't eaten for three days, gobbling up the food on the table, trying to suppress the fear in their hearts with the food in front of them.

And such a meal is naturally eaten quickly. And after everyone finished breakfast, these new soldiers and veterans gathered in the school field under the leadership of the officials of each hundred households.
On the school field, Zhao Er, who was Ye Xian's defender of a thousand households, was standing on the high platform on the school field in armor at this time. Looking at the more than 1,300 red turban soldiers and soldiers densely assembled on the school field under the high platform, Zhao Er couldn't help but clear his throat and shouted at them: "Today, Ben General will personally lead a thousand warriors among you to go out of the city to fight with Ben General, and kill those who come to attack the Tartars by surprise." ā
"Therefore, except for the three hundred households who will be named by Ben, who are responsible for staying in the county seat, the rest will go out of the city to fight with Ben General." After saying this, Zhao Er looked at the more than 1,300 recruits and veterans in the audience and shouted out the names of the three hundred household officials.
And after hearing the three names shouted by Zhao Er, the new miner named Tian Liulang in the audience couldn't help but show a helpless expression of worry and disappointment on his face, obviously they were a little unlucky, and they didn't get the qualification to stay in the county.
Of course, bad luck is only what he thinks, because the three hundred household officials who were named by Zhao Er also showed the same expression as him at this time.
ā¦ā¦
Almost half an hour later, outside Ye Xian's North City Gate, under the gaze of Li Chongsan, the county magistrate, a whole thousand Red Turban Sergeants under the leadership of Zhao Er, singing the military song of the Red Turban Army and leaving the North City Gate together.
"The clouds are from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, and the dust and earth are fame. Looking at Shenzhou, the people are bitter, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren. Look at the world, as much as you want, and make up for the defects of heaven. Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the lord. Holding a steel knife of ninety-nine, he killed Hu Er before stopping. I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow. The strong man drank the wine in the bowl and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles. The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly. The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly, and the oath was endless! ā
After a thousand Red Turban soldiers sang the military song of the Red Turban Army several times at the top of their voices, for some reason, the fear in the hearts of Tian Guohua and Tian Liulang, who had never been on the battlefield, was reduced a lot.
After singing the military song, their hearts seemed to have an incomprehensible courage and strength of their own, and driven by this courage and strength, the pace of these people became much lighter.
In this way, the thousand red turban soldiers, under the leadership of Zhao Erhe, rushed towards the north along the official road.
However, just as Zhao Er and his side were marching out of the city, outside Xiangcheng in Xuzhou, less than a hundred miles north of Ye County, a group of Yuanmeng officers and soldiers with a number of about 3,000 people was also led by a Yuanmeng general to kill Ye Xian in the south.
Judging from the speed of the march of the two armies, it is estimated that the two armies will meet at noon.
ā¦ā¦
"Hawkeye, do you see clearly, it's the three thousand Tartars, right?"
"That's right, it's the Tartars. Good guy, the Tartars really didn't mix any water this time, but this time it really came with 3,000 people. On a high slope, five Red Turban scout sentinels, looking at their three thousand Tartar soldiers five miles away, couldn't help but talk like this.
"Oh no, the scouts in the group of Tartars have spotted us, dozens of people are rushing towards us, let's go." The scout soldier called Hawkeye, after sighing at what he had just said, couldn't help but suddenly shout in shock.
Hearing Hawkeye's words, the remaining Red Turban scouts also turned over on their horses at the first time, and then the five Red Turban Sergeants followed, and then rode their horses towards the way they came. The most important thing for them now is to spread the current location of the Tartar army to Zhao Er, who commanded the army thirty miles away.
And after the five red turban sergeants hurriedly left from the high slope, in a moment's time, dozens of Yuanmeng knights surrounded this high slope in all directions.
"Hairigu (Mongolian for sparrowhawk), are you sure you just saw a scout of the Red Turban Thief snooping around?" After no sign of anyone was found on this high slope, a Mongolian centurion with a large cake face that the Mongols had to do asked the soldier under his command like this.
Hai Rigu: "My lord, the villain is willing to swear in the name of the Buddha (Note 1), and just now the villain did see a few red turban thieves peeping here. ā
Hearing Hai Rigu's affirmative words, the big-faced Baihu official couldn't help but nod and said, "Well, since that's the case, I'll report the news to Lord Haribari now." And Hai Rigu, you can be regarded as a meritorious contribution this time, and I will take a credit for you. ā
"Master Xie." Hearing this, Hai Rigu couldn't help but bow like this.
"Lord Haribari, the villain just now found several spies of red turban thieves snooping in the south of our army five or six miles away. But the spies of the red turban thieves were too cunning, and the villain failed to catch them, so I came to ask you for the guilt. ā
I have to say that this Yuanmeng Baihu official with a big cake face is really smart. He obviously came to ask for merit this time, but because he was worried that Hari Bari would investigate him, he failed to capture people alive, but instead said that he was here to take the initiative to ask for guilt.
When he said this, he not only told Haribari about his discovery of the Red Turban Thief's snooping, but also set up an appearance of a loyal and righteous man in front of Haribari, and in this way, how could Haribari not reward him for such a conscientious and loyal minister. So, this is really a win-win-win-win
And after Hari Bari heard his words, his reaction was really not as expected by these hundred households, Hari Bari did not care at all about his failure to catch the scouts of the red turban thieves, but still said to him with a smile: "Si Re, you have done a good job this time, you can find the prying eyes of the red turban thieves at the first time, and you are extremely conscious to come to me to ask for guilt, it can be said that you are worthy of the four words of loyalty." ā
After saying this, Hari Bari turned to one of the officers behind him who was in charge of rewards and punishments in the army, and said: "Si Reta's dedication to his duty can be regarded as meritorious, so this time I will reward him with ten ingots of treasure money in recognition of his merits." ā
However, hearing Haribari's words, Baihu Sire, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but slander in his heart: "Yes, you can get ten ingots of treasure money for such a large labor fee, can these ten ingots of treasure money be worth three taels of silver now?" ā
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Si Re already showed a grateful look on his face. "After all, even the marshals like Lord Yexian and His Royal Highness King Wei begged for thieves, His Majesty the Son of Heaven only gave them thousands of ingots as a reward for their banditry (Note 2), and now he can get a lot of ten ingots of treasure money because of this matter, what else can he complain about."
Thinking of such self-comfort in his heart, Srehe retreated respectfully after shouting thanks.
And after Si Rehe retreated, Hari Bari, who was the vanguard officer this time, looked at the five thousand household officials under his command and couldn't help but say: "Generals, I think you have all heard it, our whereabouts have been exposed, so in order to catch Ye Xian's thieves off guard, we should also speed up their march." ā
And hearing Hari Ba Ri say this, a colored eye Qianhu couldn't help but echo: "The general is right, we are not far from Ye Xian now, if we speed up the march, we should be able to rush to Ye Xian outside the city around Shen Shi (15~17 o'clock), and then the general, you will lead our three thousand elite soldiers, and you will definitely be able to catch Ye Xian's red turban thieves off guard." ā
"When the time comes, it is possible that we will be able to defeat Ye Xian in one fell swoop and make the first contribution to this thief."
Hearing this, the remaining four thousand households couldn't help but show their desire to make a contribution, and then they couldn't help but nod approvingly. In this way, after discovering the scouts of the Red Turban Army, the vanguard officer of Haribari instead ordered to speed up the march of the whole army, so that the whole army was in a hurry to march.
On the march, Hari Ba Ri and they did not have the slightest idea of retaining the physical strength of the soldiers, and now they only wanted to rush to the outside of Ye Xian City as soon as possible to attack the city and kill the thieves. As for whether the Red Turban Army will go out of the city to fight them in the field, no one will think so.
After all, how could a mere 500 Red Turban Army dare to go out of the city under the attack of 3,000 officers and soldiers. But sometimes, the truth is just so unexpected......
At the same time, when the three thousand officers and soldiers were speeding up the march, Zhao Er naturally knew about the exposure of the scouts on his side. However, unlike what they thought, Zhao Er thought that his surprise attack was exposed like this. Therefore, in order to seek stability and victory, Zhao Er naturally ordered the 1,000 soldiers under his command to slow down, so as to preserve the physical strength of his soldiers.
So just like that, the two armies, both of whom had misjudged, rushed towards each other as fast and one as they did so.
ā¦ā¦
"Hurry up, hurry up, give me a faster step, as long as we can do it to Ye Xian, then we will win, so give me the speed up." After the 3,000 vanguard officers and men accelerated their march, the army was filled with such encouragement for a while.
Now under the influence of the generals of Haribari, all the officers and soldiers now feel that those red turban thieves who are about to be conscripted by them just dare to hide behind Ye Xian's city wall and tremble. Therefore, the self-confidence of these soldiers is really inflated to the point that it is no longer good.
But none of them thought that just ten miles away from them, in that place they couldn't see, there were thousands of red turban soldiers, under the leadership of the brave general Zhao Er, who were already fully armed and killing them directly.
"Eh, Hai Rigu, look at it, who are those people on the other side?" Seeing the Red Turban Army appear in his sight, Si Re, who was not very eyesighted, couldn't help but ask Hai Rigu, who had the best eyesight among them.
However, hearing his words, Hai Rigu just said stupidly: "Red turban thief, red turban thief, many, many red turban thief." Then in the next second, Hai Rigu shouted hoarsely: "The enemy is attacking, the red turban thief is coming, the red turban thief is coming!" ā
"What kind of Red Turban Army is coming, how can it be, how can they dare to come out with only five hundred people." Hearing the words shouted by the scout in front of him, Haribari, who was a pioneer officer, couldn't help but muttered to himself in confusion.
But fortunately, such doubts did not affect Hari Bari for too long, and it was in an instant that Hari Bari he reacted. Then I saw him shouting: "Don't panic, there are only five hundred red turban thieves, and they are not our opponents at all, since they are willing to seek death, then we will line up and teach these guys who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth a lesson." ā
"The general said, there are 500 people after the red turban thief, don't be afraid, just wait for the formation to kill the thief."
"The general said, there are 500 people after the red turban thief, don't be afraid, just wait for the formation to kill the thief." Such a roar instantly reached the ears of each of the three thousand soldiers, one after another.
I have to say that hearing such words, these officers and soldiers are indeed no longer afraid. After all, there are 3,000 people on their side, so why should they be afraid of 500 people. Therefore, after suppressing the fear in their hearts, these 3,000 officers and soldiers also lined up for the first time.
However, when the officers and soldiers lined up in battle formation, the Red Turban Army also lined up their unique offensive phalanx with 500 Red Turban veterans as the core. And in the front row of the phalanx, standing was naturally Zhao Er, who was wearing armor.
At this time, Zhao Er was raising his sword with his back to the more than 1,000 soldiers under his command and shouted: "Soldiers, for the sake of the father, elders, wives and children in the family, follow the generals to kill the Tartars!" After speaking, Zhao Er personally led the red scarf soldiers in his front row, roaring and rushing towards the three thousand officers and soldiers opposite.
And seeing Zhao Er, a master general, and the rest of the new soldiers like Tian Liulang, couldn't help but have an indescribable courage in their chests. Then in the next moment, these new pawns also followed Zhao Er's example, raised their swords and roared, and killed the three thousand Tartars on the opposite side.
"Kill the Tartar!" The roars of more than 1,000 Red Turban soldiers can be described as earth-shattering, and the 3,000 officers and soldiers who faced them heard such shouts and killings, but they couldn't help but find that the information they knew was wrong from beginning to end.
"Grandpa's, isn't this a fart, how can these red turban thieves only have five hundred, and there must be at least a thousand people." Looking at the more than 1,000 red-turban sergeants who were not afraid of death, a miserable officer and soldier couldn't help but scold like this in his heart.
However, although they scolded like this in their hearts, the three thousand officers and soldiers also knew that now they had no way out. So after a loud roar, the more than 3,000 officers and soldiers also raised their swords and frantically rushed towards the rushing Red Turban Army.
