Chapter 153: The Battle Begins Slightly
The lights were dim, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, and the blood-stained earth was dyed blood-red, which looked extremely gloomy under the flickering lights, and the entire Chinese army tent was like a netherworld hell underground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lord."
The black-clothed poisonous snake knelt on one knee, his raised head and eyes full of terrifying murderous aura, and said solemnly: "There are more than 500 mutinous Yellow Turban soldiers, all of whom have been ambushed. The rebellious generals were all killed, except for Yang Feng and Sun Xia, who was ordered by the lord. ”
"Hmm!"
Zhang Bao sat down according to the case, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, looked at the poisonous snake kneeling in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "Follow Sun Xia to investigate, and thoroughly find out the person behind the scenes!" ”
"No!"
The viper turned around and flashed away.
"If it weren't for the coincidence that the clues were discovered, I'm afraid that General Ben's matter would have been lost. This person's strategy is linked to each link, and the subtlety of each step of the calculation is really terrifying. This person does not surface for a day, and General Ben is not at ease for a day! ”
Zhang Bao looked at the back of the poisonous snake leaving with a hideous face, and said through gritted teeth.
"He Man!"
"The last general!"
He Man, a bearded man covered in blood and covered with minced meat, carried an iron rod and stepped forward to respond sharply.
"Wanrou and Ning'er's guards sent more people, but they couldn't kill me this time, I'm afraid the enemy will take advantage of the loophole and be unfavorable to Ning'er and the others!"
"No!"
He Man, the strong man of the tower version, took the order and left.
"My lord. I thought that this person would never make a move in the short term. ”
Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed with the starlight of wisdom, and he stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Huh!?"
"I thought that this attack had completely leaked the enemy's strength in our eyes, and even if there were fish that slipped through the net, it would be harmless. Only this time it is a wake-up call for us! ”
"How?"
Zhang Bao frowned slightly, picked up the wine bottle on the case and drank it all.
Xi Zhicai groaned, sat on the ground, a fine light flashed in his eyes, looked directly at Zhang Bao and said slowly: "As we all know, the predecessor of my Yellow Turban Army was to gather the people in the religious form of Taiping Dao, and most of them joined Taiping Dao because of the Lord's previous treatment of the disease. Later, because he couldn't stand the mediocrity of the court and the oppression of the people by the government, he rebelled. Now most of the soldiers under the command of our army are from the previous Taiping Taoist sect, plus those who defected later, forming the current Yellow Turban Army. This benefit is that the army is sufficient and ready to be replenished. However, there is a bigger drawback~ Thank you! ”
Xi Zhicai picked up the water poured by Zhang Bao, drank it all, touched his mouth, and continued: "The biggest drawback of this is that there is not enough loyalty, it is true that the upper-level generals will not rebel because they follow the lord's side at any time and are infected by the lord's personality charm. But more often than not, the loyalty of the middle and lower class personnel to the lord is far from enough~ I think that I should often reward Anqixin! ”
"Alas~"
Zhang Bao looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with a bitter expression: "Why don't I understand the words of the military? However, our army is currently in danger, and the imperial army in front of us is eyeing our army, and the families of the world are afraid of us like tigers, and all the property obtained from the war is made into weapons, and the people's taxes are collected, alas~"
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he was silent. He can only put forward corresponding opinions, and he can't turn stones into gold. At present, he also understands the situation in the middle of the Yellow Turban Army, but there is no fixed territory, and it is difficult for him to exert his political talents even if he has great ability.
"Newspaper~"
A rush of footsteps came, and then a herald soldier wearing dark iron armor with a weathered face stepped into the big tent, knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Qi, General Guo sent someone to report that Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng sent Ma Teng to lead 20,000 Xiliang troops from Mengjin Port directly to the back of our army!" ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Bao frowned slightly, and said in a condensed voice: "Geng Cong can draw troops to surround the rear of our army at this time, could it be that the kingdom has been suppressed?" ”
Xi Zhicai also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Geng Contempt, this person is mediocre and incompetent, the kingdom has gathered more than 200,000 people from the Di and Qiang tribes, and it is absolutely impossible to be suppressed by Geng Cong so quickly, I think the lord should quickly send someone to intercept Ma Teng, otherwise when He Jin's army comes out, our army will be attacked on both sides, which is a taboo for soldiers!" ”
"Well, the military advisor has a point!"
Zhang Bao nodded slowly, and then a fine light was removed from his eyes, and he said sharply: "Someone!" ”
"The last general!"
The little colonel standing outside the tent rushed in and responded on one knee.
"Quickly recruit Cheng Yuanzhi and Gao Shun to see me!"
"No!"
The Colonel took the order and left.
"Lord!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, Cheng Yuanzhi, who was dressed in military uniform, and Gao Shun, who exuded a fierce aura all over his body, walked into the big tent.
"You're here!"
Zhang Bao said coldly: "Guo Da sent someone to report that Liangzhou Ma Teng led 10,000 elite soldiers from Mengjin Port to the rear of our army, the two of you quickly ordered a thousand elite cavalry to go first, and the general then led the army to arrive!" ”
"No!"
A moment later, the horn in the Yellow Turban camp sounded continuously, and a group of elite cavalry left the camp under the leadership of their respective generals, and a horse rode out of the barn, the soldiers wore armor, the horses covered the saddles, the sabers were unsheathed, and the guns were thrown into the set.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Fifty miles west of Handan, a heavily armored officer army drove on the official road. Since receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, Xiliang Thorn Shi Geng looked at the chaos in the world, and had the intention to think that the Liangzhou thieves were undecided not to obey the edict, but Fu Xie's words made him break out in a cold sweat, and then ordered the fierce general Ma Teng to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to rescue the surrounding bandits.
"Newspaper~~"
A horse galloped from the front, billowing smoke and dust rose from the official road, and Ma Teng, who was riding his horse slowly, raised his right arm leisurely, followed by the herald behind him, and galloped backwards in an instant, and the terrible sound of the order resounded through the military array.
"Stop advancing~~The whole army stops advancing~~"
The slowly marching army came to a halt, and the 20,000 soldiers stood on the official road, black and silent, solidified into a sea of guns and halberds.
"Newspaper~"
"My lord, I found a large group of thieves and cavalry ahead!"
Ma Teng exchanged glances with Yang Fu beside him, and asked in a condensed voice, "How many people are there?" ”
"There are more than 1,000 riders!"
"More than a thousand rides!" Ma Teng's expression suddenly became solemn, his eyes turned to Yang Fu, who was joining the army beside him, and asked, "Lord Yang, what do you think?" ”
Yang Fu and Ma Teng, like Ma Teng, were both born in the army, and also served in Liangzhou Wubian, although he was not a military general, but he also knew that the terrain of the plain was conducive to the cavalry charge, but not conducive to the defense of the infantry army, so he said in a deep voice: "The cavalry moves quickly and comes and goes like the wind, why not stick to the danger?" If the thief comes to attack, he will abandon the war horse and take the foot battle, and it is as easy as a palm of his hand. (To be continued.) )
