Chapter Twenty-Three: Bloodless Soldiers
Zhang Ping and Tang Qiang bent down and clenched their fists, walked towards the outside of the forest, gathered their cronies, and ordered them to quickly assemble the army in the forest.
For a time, the forest was full of people.
It was not so easy to gather more than 17,000 troops in this dense forest.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, the two cronies returned.
"Report to the leader, the army has been assembled and is waiting outside the forest."
"Good!"
……
Before the two came to their army, Zhang Ping spoke first: "Brothers, today is our first battle, do you have the fucking confidence to fight beautifully?" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers replied categorically, though not very neat, but their determination was unanimous.
Tang Qiang looked at the 17,000 soldiers in front of him, infected by their mighty morale, and couldn't help but raise his sword and roar: "Victory!" Victory! ”
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
The soldiers shouted.
Zhang Ping couldn't wait any longer, and shouted: "Let's rush!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Ping picked up his big knife and rushed down the official road towards Changshe County.
The rebel armies on both sides were also infected by the arrogance of Leader Zhang, and drew their sabers to follow Zhang Ping.
At this time, Zhang Liang and Qi Shi were watching from behind, and Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Ping, who was currently in a horse, and couldn't help but praise: "Zhang Ping is really brave!" ”
Qi Shi nodded, observing the form of the rebel armies on both sides, and said, "We are still short of horses, if there are enough horses, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard." ”
……
The mountains and forests where the rebels were previously located were about two miles away from the gate of Changshe County.
The rebels only ran wildly for a while at first, and then they trotted closer and closer to the city gates.
The sergeant at the gate of the city noticed the dusty scene in front of him and wondered, "What is this?" When they saw it clearly, they found that there were many soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads, and there were so many of them that there was no end in sight. Thinking of the messages of these days, he shouted: "The Yellow Party is here!" ”
The garrison retreated into the city, pushing the heavy gates to close them.
The sound of "squeak, squeak" sounded, and just as the city gate was about to close, more than two dozen civilians appeared out of nowhere and ran towards the city gate.
A sergeant found out about this and shouted, "Don't go out of the city now, get back to me!" ”
However, this group of "people" did not slow down their pace, but faster. At this time, the sergeant defending the city realized that something was wrong with this group of people, and while continuing to close the city gate, two people drew their knives and shouted at the rushing man: "Don't come!" ”
Looking at Diao Min, who was about to approach, the two swung their knives and slashed forward, but because the soldiers defending the city had not used their knives for too long, this slash was a little jerky.
Ran Dong, who was at the front of the team, slowed down, dodging the attack as he removed the sergeant's knife and brought him to the ground. At the same time, the rebels, who had turned into civilians, subdued the other three sergeants with lightning speed, pushed open the gates that were about to close, and welcomed the arrival of the rebel army.
……
Zhang Ping and Tang Qiang, the leaders of the rebel armies on both sides, looked at the city gate that was about to be closed and wanted to go back and ask Qi Shi what arrangements he had made. But then, the city gate slowly opened again, and I saw more than 20 civilians taking out yellow scarves and waving them.
"Good guys!" Tang Qiang sighed when he saw this.
For this imminent victory, Zhang Ping raised his broadsword: "Brothers, rush!" ”
At this time, although the rebel army was a little tired, its morale was high.
Finally, the rebels entered the city.
Ran Dong came to the two leaders, arched his hand and said: "I have seen the two leaders, we have found out the location of the defenders of Changshe County, and we have not alarmed them yet, Zhou Qing is guarding over there to prevent someone from rushing over to alarm them." ”
"Well done, I will definitely say a few kind words to General Zhang Liang when I go back." Tang Qiang praised.
"After that, it's up to the two leaders, please follow me." After Ran Dong finished speaking, he led the way in front.
Tang Qiang looked at Zhang Ping and said: "Leader Zhang, I will lead the army to pacify the civilians, you lead the army to suppress the permanent army in Changshe County, if you need reinforcements on your side, I will send troops over, how about it?" ”
"Yes, I won't appease the people, so I'll leave it to you. There is no need for reinforcements, just 2,000 people. After Zhang Ping finished speaking, he led his own rebel army to follow Ran Dong to the destination. And Tang Qiang ordered his cronies to disperse with his troops to prevent the people from rising up.
……
Ran Dong took Zhang Ping's rebel army to the place where the Changshe County garrison was stationed and joined Zhou Qing.
I saw that one of the civilian brothers turned into this group of rebels walked out and saluted Zhang Parallel: "In the next Zhou Qing, see Leader Zhang." ”
"Get up, what's going on inside?"
"Everything is normal, they haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, because the people who came to report the news were intercepted and tied up by us on the way."
"Okay, Qi Shi's plan is really wonderful. Brothers, go with me! ”
Zhang Ping roared, raised his knife and rushed forward.
The rebels shouted "Kill" and "Kill"
The cries of nearly 10,000 people finally alarmed the garrison who had been training for a day and were having dinner, but it was too late.
After the rebels rushed into the station, most of the garrisons in front had just thrown away the porcelain bowls in their hands, and before they could hold their knives steadily, the cold feeling on their necks made them freeze and dare not move again.
The garrison in the rear took a longer time to react, picked up a knife and pointed it at the sergeant who suddenly broke in, and slowly retreated.
The two Thousand Governors walked up to the garrison, which had never been subdued, and looked at the clothes of the sergeants, and found that they were very similar to the Yellow Turban Army, which had been spreading very well outside. One asked, "Can you want to rebel?" ”
When Zhang Ping heard this, he laughed and said, "Rebellion? Haha, we're doing the right thing for heaven. The imperial court has made the people miserable, and the officials only care about their own pleasure, who will care about these poor people? All we have to do is establish a new regime and overthrow the rotten rule! These sentences are important ideas of the rebel army, and basically every Yellow Turban sergeant is familiar with them.
I don't know who in the rebel army shouted "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is lucky!" ”
Then the entire rebel army chanted this sentence, and the power formed further weakened the heart of the garrison.
Zhang Ping pointed his broadsword at the two thousand-man governors, and shouted at the unsubdued garrison: "Do you surrender or not?" ”
The two Thousand Governors looked at the reactions of their soldiers and knew that they no longer had the heart to fight, after all, they only had a little more than a thousand on their side, how could they confront the countless soldiers on the other side?
Thinking that they led 2,000 people to be subdued by the other party's bloodless soldiers, their hearts were full of bitterness, and they had no choice but to throw away the weapons in their hands, and said unwillingly: "Let's surrender." ”
