Chapter 54: The Han Army Flooded by the Sea of People
The masses are ignorant and misguided, and the world collapses to help the people. Now that the sage is gone, the believers are full of tears.
"Avenge the Great Virtuous Master!"
There was no need for the generals to incite them, and there were sobbing believers chanting slogans.
In an instant, there was a thousand responses.
A huge wave of sound swept through the entire Guangzong and spread in all directions with the momentum of thunder.
"Huh? Mengde, did you hear any voices? ”
"I did hear it, but it was too faint."
"Ahead is Guangzong."
Liu Yu said.
"Oh? Interesting. ”
Hong Ji, who muttered casually, didn't care, and led the army out of the mountain road.
In an instant, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and the endless plain comes into view, and at the end of the plain sight, a big city rises from the ground, and you don't need to think about Hongji to know that it is Guangzong.
"General, do you want to build some siege equipment first, wait until you don't have the siege equipment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do."
Seeing that Hong Ji didn't mean to stop, Lu Wei hurriedly suggested. After all, there are no trees to cut down in the vicinity of Gwangjong, all of them are grass or yellow land.
"No, aren't there those baby bumps?"
Looking at the place where Hong Ji pointed casually, Lu Wei smiled: "But the last general is too worried." ”
In a relaxed atmosphere, the army marched not far from the city of Guangzong.
When he saw the scene under the city, Hong Ji gasped.
Zhang Liang did not defend the city as expected, but chose to pour out, behind the more than 10,000 yellow scarves waiting for the battle, standing was a dense sea of people without any formation at all, although the sea of people were all in tattered clothes, some were even less than ten years old, but the eyes of carrying a knife to choose people to devour made people not doubt their determination to dare to kill.
There was no dialogue, no conversation, and when he saw the arrival of the Han army, Zhang Liang gave the order for the whole army to charge.
Suddenly, the drums beat loudly.
Knock! Boom! The sound was like the beating of the heart, allowing the charging people to see their hearts.
There was no fear of the Han army's neatly equipped and distinct military formations, only the anger of the blood, the determination to avenge the great virtuous master, and the belief in regaining the great virtuous master.
"They're all crazy?"
Liu Yu exclaimed incredulously.
"They're not crazy, they're just obsessed!"
Lu Zhi, who commanded the Northern Army, was very complicated, and he couldn't understand why they were obviously the people of the Han Dynasty, and why they would sacrifice their fragile lives for a rebel.
"The Yue Cavalry Battalion resists the enemy, the Shooting Battalion shoots, and the Changshui Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion flank the enemy!"
Watching Lu Zhi command the battle in an orderly manner, Hong Ji was very satisfied with his decision to let him command, after all, after seeing his performance in the command of Julu, he didn't want to make any moths, and the distribution of Fangzheng's final credit was determined by himself.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The two armies finally came to an end.
But how can the Yellow Turban Qingzhuang under Zhang Liang compare to the Yellow Turban Pioneer under Zhang Jiao? The Yue Cavalry Battalion did not retreat half a step before withstanding the charge of the Yellow Turban Youth, and then it was a natural massacre.
On the flanks, no, it was the frontal battlefield next to the Viet Cavalry Battalion, where the two cavalry battalions launched a brutal charge against the unarmoured old and young and the women.
Blood and corpses stimulate the senses of everyone and shake the souls of the world.
It is not terrible for an army to have many people but few weak people, but it is terrible that it has faith.
That is, 500,000 pigs can kill more than 10,000 people and exhaust people to death, let alone 500,000 people who carry knives to kill?
The impact of the cavalry was quickly unloaded by the thick sea of people, and just as they wanted to retreat, the sea of people they had broken through swooped up like waves.
One by one, they slashed with the weapons in their hands, whether they were people or horses.
When the weapon is dropped, it bites with its teeth, and wraps its limbs around the horse that is about to turn around.
One man died, his hands still dragging the horse's feet, and the others stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to charge.
Even though the soldiers of the cavalry battalion could be killed at their fingertips, their corpses formed a thick defensive line like sandbags, preventing the enemy from escaping and restricting the enemy's space for movement.
10,000, 20,000, 100,000, but the dead reached a terrible 100,000 hours, the arrows of the shooting battalion were gone, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were already submerged in the sea of people, and if they could still flutter and flutter like drowning people, everyone might think that they were dead.
Even so, Lu Zhi and other generals firmly believed that this battle would be won, and the enemy's death rate had reached a terrifying 20%, which was enough for an ordinary army to defeat the opponent, not to mention this group of old and weak women and children equipped with weapons.
But after the Yellow Turban crawled over the mountains of corpses, rolled down to the Han camp, and broke through the blockade of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, Lu Zhi finally changed color.
But after the color change, Lu Zhi still hesitated, the corpse was a double-edged sword, he not only blocked the attack of the Han army, restricted the activities of the Han army, but also created conditions for the Yellow Turban Army to break through.
But at the same time, he also limited the Yellow Turban Gold's already small lethality, relying on the cover of layers of corpses, even if the actions of the Han army were restricted, but at the same time, the Yellow Turban Army also limited the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.
In other words, as the physical strength of the Han army was exhausted, their actions became more and more constant, and they went from facing dangers from all directions to only one side of the danger, because the rest of the sides had been blocked by mountains of corpses.
In his half-life career as a horseman, Lu Zhi has only seen Zhang Jiao's troops ignore the battle loss ratio at all, as long as he is at the moment, the troops are going to die, and he will still charge without hesitation, he never believes that the ordinary old and weak women and children in front of him can also do it, so he wants to persevere.
But Lu Zhi wants to insist, it doesn't mean that Hong Ji wants to insist, in line with the idea that Zhang Jiao is dead and leads the army with his own proper achievements, he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter here, and he will immediately order Mingjin to withdraw his troops!
"General, you can't withdraw!"
Lu Zhi hurriedly persuaded, Cao Cao also saw the seriousness of the problem, once retreated, it was equivalent to the complete burial of the Tun cavalry battalion and the Changshui battalion that were encircled by the enemy, and even the Yue cavalry battalion that was in a stalemate with the enemy could lose most of it due to the late retreat, and only the shooting battalion that assisted the Yue cavalry battalion to kill the enemy with spears in the back could all be spared.
Just when Hong Ji was about to make a decision, Liu Yu, who was the most chicken thief, looked at the more than 500 giant bells that were motionless in the rear and suggested: "Why don't you send someone to summon the cavalry battalion to protect your ears, and the whole shooting battalion will stand at the top of the giant bell "bell", and then order the Yue cavalry battalion to protect their ears and retreat at the same time. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, thinking that fighting a group of peasant soldiers would be very casual, and they forgot that they still had strategic weapons on their own side in the spirit of inertial thinking.
But even so, Lu Zhi still hesitated, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to choose, but for the sake of those old and weak peasant soldiers, he may have to sacrifice the three major battalions of the Tuncai Battalion, Changshui Battalion, and Yue Cavalry Battalion, is it worth it?
