Chapter 22 The situation does not allow for objectivity
The main generals of the officers and soldiers in this crusade against Bocai were Huangfu Song and deputy general Zhu Jun. These two were famous generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It can be seen that it is not ordinary.
Around the camp, there are first rows of simple wooden walls, although simple, but also extremely strong. The wall is divided into three large camps, the finished glyph, the middle connects the road, and it becomes the trend of the corner. If one side is attacked, the other two large battalions can quickly come to the rescue. Soldiers patrolled every stretch of the camp. If you encounter an unknown person, you will be arrested immediately.
In front of the walled gate, heavy antlers blocked the way out, if you want to rely on the impact of the cavalry to attack the walled gate, I believe that how many will die.
From the perspective of encampment alone, there is a world of difference between the officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turban generals, not to mention that although the Yellow Turban Army has elites, most of the soldiers are the kind of people who have not been trained and have never been on the battlefield.
And the soldiers under the command of Huangfu Song, one by one, are wearing armor and holding steel knives, and everyone exudes a fierce atmosphere. Only this kind of battlefield murderous aura that can only be produced after experiencing a fight.
The comparison of the situation on both sides made Zhang Bao full of worries. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun joined forces, is there a possibility that the Yellow Turban Army on their side will win?
"Ahem, everyone, if you want to renew your relationship, I'll talk about it later, the current military situation is urgent, Bocai, you tell me about the current war situation specifically." Zhang Bao coughed twice and motioned for everyone to talk about business.
Hearing this, everyone put away their smiling faces and put on serious faces. Bo Cai said first: "General Digong, now we, alas, have suffered a loss." Speaking of this, Bo Cai sighed, and then said: "Let's have a sudden incident with our yellow scarf, and the court was caught off guard. It was overwhelming at first. But just a few days, after the imperial court reacted, our army is now blocked everywhere, a few days ago I sent people to attack Rongcheng, I didn't expect the small Rongcheng, the soldiers are only thousands, but Wang Yang alone, I didn't expect to plant a heel fiercely. Immediately after the arrival of reinforcements from the Japanese army, I sent troops to attack again, but I didn't expect to plant another big heel this time. A whole two thousand men, even my brother folded in. My brother who has depended on each other since childhood. Speaking of this, Bo Cai's eyes were a little red.
Zhang Bao comforted: "Brother's Day mourning. I know that you feel sorry for your own brothers, and I feel sorry for my two thousand brothers. Two thousand lives. But my husband was born in troubled times, and it was also my fate to be able to wrap his body in horse leather. When we destroy the officers and soldiers, we will take the head of the thief and worship our brothers. ”
said this, but Zhang Bao was secretly thinking in his heart, a few days ago, he saw that Rongcheng was closed at the gate, and the whole state of preparation for war must be the reason why Bocai sent troops to attack.
And yesterday's sneak attack must be Huangfu Song, thinking that Huangfu Song is a famous general, and his foothold is not stable, how can he be sneak attacked, Bocai This is a mistake.
"How's the morale of my army?" Zhang Bao asked another question that he was most concerned about, when the Yellow Turban Army started, it was able to attack the city like a bamboo, presumably because the morale was high, and the imperial court did not react for a while. Now that it has been repeatedly blocked, it is estimated that the morale is not optimistic.
Most of the Yellow Turbans had never been on the battlefield, and they could win by morale once or twice, but after all, they had no formal training. When the situation is homeopathic, you can fight, but now that the morale is low, I am afraid that most of them will collapse and flee, and the result will be a crazy slaughter by the officers and soldiers.
Bo Cai said with some shame: "Please punish General Digong, now our army's morale is low and its combat strength has been greatly damaged." If the war starts at this time, our army has no chance of victory.
Zhang Bao frowned, sure enough. There are two ways for the army to improve its combat effectiveness, one is to go through strict training, but after a long time, I am afraid that this method will not work. The second is to find a way to improve morale, and morale can be raised to fight. Yesterday, Huangfu Song set up camp and rested for a day, and it is estimated that there will be a war tomorrow.
And so on, Huangfu Song is a generation of famous generals, plus Zhu Jun is also a famous general. I will not fail to see the low morale of the Yellow Turban Army, if I fight tomorrow, I will definitely attack first today to make the morale of the enemy army worse, and if I fight again the next day, I will inevitably be defeated and flee in despair.
At this time, Zhang Bao suddenly said: "Night attack." Unexpectedly, at this time, Guo Da also said at the same time: "Night attack." Zhang Bao looked at Guo Da with a stunned expression, and Guo Da also looked at Zhang Bao in shock. At this time, Zhang Bao secretly praised in his heart: Sure enough, he is a cowman, he is standing in the situation of understanding history and understanding Huangfu Song, and only after beating around the bush did he think that Huangfu Song might attack at night, this Guo Da didn't know anything about the enemy generals at all, and he could think of a night attack just from a tactical point of view, and he was really smarter than himself.
Everyone looked at the two of them with a burst of surprise on their faces. Zhang Bao smiled and looked at Guo Da, meaning to let Guo Da explain. Guo Da was grateful. Zhang Bao meant to let General Guo analyze the possible night attack of the enemy army. After all, Guo Da is a new follower of himself, and he has not done anything, and now he is sitting on a high seat, although he is not in power, although everyone is hindered by himself not speaking out, but it is inevitable that he will slander in his heart. Now let Guo Dalu convince the people present.
Then Guo Da said his analysis from a tactical point of view, and came to the conclusion that Huangfu Song would definitely take advantage of tonight's sneak attack. At this time, suddenly there was a "click" outside the camp, followed by a "bang". There was a commotion outside the camp. Everyone was shocked, and someone was going out to check what was going on, when a small soldier came to report: "The big sword outside the camp suddenly broke down without wind, and everyone was talking about it." ”
Zhang Bao was surprised: What's the situation? Could it really be a warning from heaven, Huangfu Song will definitely come back to attack the camp tonight? "Come with me." Zhang Bao said. Everyone followed Zhang Bao out of the fish.
When I walked outside the camp, I saw a big flag across the camp, the pole was more than six feet long, and the flag was one foot bigger. It reads: Yellow Sky. Two big words. The flag is pure black and black, and the two eye-catching large characters are yellow. A person was crushed to death under the thick flagpole at the mouth of the bowl, and it is estimated that this unlucky guy did not have time to dodge and was crushed to death.
Zhang Bao looked at this big and secretly frightened, how could it be broken? Looking at the broken pole, it is indeed a trace of hard breaking. Obviously, it is impossible to be artificial, could it be that he just figured out that there was danger, and the Heavenly Dao warned him?
Zhang Bao thought optimistically, but the Yellow Turban soldiers around him were different. Everyone had a look of horror on their faces, and they were discussing: Did they offend the gods? This is a warning from the gods, and I didn't see a stunned man who happened to be crushed to death by the big flagpole.
Seeing this, Zhang Bao's heart sank, the ancients were superstitious, and they didn't imagine the situation in a good direction. The morale was already low, but now in this situation, I am afraid that I will lose myself without a fight. Zhang Bao was nervous and had to find a way to change the current situation.
Guo Da looked at the surrounding situation, stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Bao: "General Digong, the current situation is that people's hearts are scattered, if it can't be solved, we will be defeated tonight." ”
Zhang Bao nodded and did not speak.
