Chapter Eighty-Seven: Giving Gifts and Receiving Lives
"According to the information given by Lai Zhi, because the Han army went out of the Tiger Prison Pass and sent troops to Yingchuan County. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info half a month ago, Li Gu, a small party of the Yellow Turban Army stationed in Ye County, asked Zhang Mancheng for soldiers, weapons, armor and other materials in Wancheng, but Zhang Mancheng never replied. He Xian paused, looked around at the people around, and finally fell on He Gan's body.
"He Qian, you have been in Sun Xia's army, and you are most familiar with the Yellow Turban Army. You led five special operations teams of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, and Kan to attack 50 people, disguised as reinforcements sent by Zhang Mancheng to send weapons and armor to Li Gu and infiltrated the city. At the time of the third watch, Wen Ping led the three teams of Li, Gen and Dui to meet outside the city gate. After the two of you open the city gate and raise a fire on the city wall, Wen Xiang and I will lead 500 people from the woods outside the city gate to kill from the woods outside the city gate and enter the city town of Yexian City...... Guys, is there anything you don't understand? He Xian asked, looking around at the people around.
"My subordinates understand!" Wen Xiang, Wen Ping, He Qian and others nodded one after another.
"Convey the order to every brother! After this battle, we will leave Nanyang and go to the Tiger Prison Pass to receive our war horses! When the time comes, we'll be able to move quickly! Let the Yellow Turban Thieves follow us and eat ashes! ”
"Childe is wise!" Wen Ping, He Qian and others are young after all, and when they heard He Xian's beautiful idea, they all geared up and prepared to do a big job. Only Wen Xiang is still expressionless and cold.
"Stop! Where are the parishioners from? "There are still hundreds of meters away from the gate of Yexian County, and the Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city have already informed Xiaofang Li Gu. Li Gu looked at the city wall from afar, looking at the military uniforms, it should be his own family is not wrong. But Li Gu was still not at ease, so he sent soldiers out of the city for interrogation.
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! In the name of the divine envoy, we will transfer Li Shuai's account in Ye County to listen to the order! He Xian lifted the oilcloth on the ox cart, revealing the swords, guns, swords, and halberds underneath.
After the soldier confirmed, he immediately ran back to Tongyu. Li Gu above the city gate was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he sent a signal to Zhang Mancheng for help, Li Gu did not expect Zhang Mancheng to really send reinforcements, and even the weapons and armor, Li Gu did not have much hope. The only reason he sent out a plea for help was that when the Han army attacked in a big way, he had a reason to abandon the city and flee! That's all! Of course, now, although Zhang Mancheng did not send troops here, the hundreds of iron weapons sent were really an unexpected surprise! Li Gu has no shortage of soldiers, and when necessary, more than 20,000 people in Yexian County can become his soldiers with farm tools and a strip of cloth. And these hundreds of real iron weapons allowed him to arm hundreds of the most elite Yellow Turban soldiers, which were real soldiers that those ordinary people who picked up hoes could not match!
After confirming these weapons, Li Gu happily invited the 50 "Yellow Turban Puppet Army" led by He Xian into Ye County, without the slightest suspicion of their identity! This is not to blame Li Gu, since the Yellow Turban Army uprising, they have been chasing the Han army! Except for some of the family's estates that are difficult to break, they have not suffered too strong resistance so far, let alone such camouflaged raids! So, the careless Li Gu knelt down!
The wind is high and the moon is dark, when you set fire to kill people!
On the night of the third watch, He Gan killed the Yellow Turban Army squad guarding the city gate according to the plan! Lighting a torch at the head of the city and waving it three times, not far away, He Xian and Wen Xiang, who received the signal, quietly entered Ye County with a fully armed 500 armor army. Target: Yexian County Ya!
Li Gu was a master who was afraid of death, so the 3,000 Yellow Turban soldiers under his command were basically concentrated in the houses near the county government. This cut off He Xian's strategy of capturing thieves and thieves in Bowang County, and there was basically no hope of capturing Li Gu alive, so He Xian decisively adopted Wen Xiang's opinion and surrounded and annihilated him!
Wen Xiang ordered four teams, including wind, forest, mountain, and people, to each hold the main road around the county office, and anyone who tried to break through was shot and killed! Then the fire squad began to set fire to the house! Yes, it's to burn the house! Set the county government on fire as much as possible, including all the houses near the county office!
Poor Li Gu was woken up by the fire in his sleep! wanted to impact the county office, but was shot back by a continuous stream of rockets! Li Gu, who was heartbroken, didn't know how many Han troops came, and he didn't understand why the Han army was able to surround the county government without knowing it. After a fight, Li Gu gave up the courage to fight to the death, changed into the clothes of his subordinate servants, and disappeared. I don't know if I took advantage of the chaos to escape from He Xian's encirclement, or was burned to death by fire.
Li Gu's life and death, He Xian didn't care. As long as you can kill the Yellow Turban Thief to the greatest extent, extinguish the arrogance of Taiping Dao, and preserve the vitality of the Nanyang area as much as possible, you will achieve the purpose of this sneak attack on Ye County! But Comrade Xiaoqiang, He Xian's personal dog-legged comrade, does not think so, in his simple opinion, since the war is won, it is necessary to obtain the necessary spoils!
For example, the 100 taels of gold that were looted from the Lai County Ling Treasury in Bowang County last time! It's real gold, not copper coins! The main currency in circulation in the Han Dynasty was copper coins, but gold, as a "currency" that was more valuable than copper coins, became a treasure for the rich and noble! A pound of gold is worth 10,000 yuan, and 1,000 yuan is consistent, that is, ten copper coins. This hundred catties of gold was extorted and snatched by Lai Zhi in the name of Zhang Mancheng from the squires and people of Bowang County! Compared with gold, the Yellow Turban thieves prefer a huge number of heavy copper coins, so after sending out hundreds of copper coins, these more valuable gold were stolen by Lai Zhi and hidden! But Lai Zhi obviously did not expect that the armed men of Hejiazhuang would fall from the sky. So, the gold in the cellar was unsurprisingly dug up by Xiaoqiang!
After tasting the sweetness in Bowang County, of course Xiaoqiang refused to let go of the county government of Ye County! As a senior financial manager who has been in charge of the He family's money treasury for three generations, Xiaoqiang's sensitivity and desire for money in his bones are innate! This is a perfect match with He Dui of the special operations team! After the fire in the county government was extinguished, the two launched a carpet search! It's hard to dig out a big cellar under the ashes! Inside the cellar was a large pile of copper coins, probably a hundred times, and at least an ox cart from the Mask Armor Army was needed to transport it! In addition, less than 30 catties of gold were also dug up, although the harvest was not as rich as Bowang County, but it also broke Xiaoqiangle! Although He Xian is not as rich as Xiaoqiang, it is always good to gain something! In the final analysis, war is a resource! These captured gold and copper coins can't support a war, but they are enough for He Xian to buy more iron tools to build weapons, and they can also give these soldiers who follow him more material rewards!
Because it was a sneak attack at night, and it was mainly a long-range crossbow attack, in this battle, the Mask Armor Army defeated Li Gu's Yellow Turban Army in Yexian County almost without casualties. Shot and burned more than 2,000 people. Hundreds of people broke through the siege and fled through the south gate, all the way in the direction of Bowang County. Hundreds of others who did not have time to flee hid in the homes of the people of Ye County.
