"Oh! What does Zhang Dashuai mean by this? Don't you think that we are not enough to achieve the great cause of the Yellow Sky? Seeing that Zhang Niujiao's words were so serious, Zuo Xiao was a little unhappy.

"Definitely! Zuo Dashuai's words are wrong, a certain is just a matter of facts, as far as the current situation is concerned, our Huangtian army is sitting on a million people, which seems to be huge, but in fact it is not. First, although there are many soldiers and horses, there are only a few hundred thousand strong men who can really fight. In addition, there are many people in the army who carry their families, which will greatly slow down the marching speed of the army, and will also make the soldiers have no heart to die. After all, everyone will worry that after they die in battle, their family members will have no one to support, which is why I have been trapped in Xindu, but I have never taken the city of Xindu! ”。 Zhang Niujiao told what he was thinking, and the left school turned red, because he was the most obvious example.

Hearing Zhang Niujiao's words, Zhang Jiao quite agreed, and even asked: "Is there a second or a third one?" ”。

Seeing that the generals of Tiangong supported his views, Zhang Niujiao's confidence increased greatly, and he immediately left his seat, walked to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Great sage and good teacher, please take a look at Zuo Dashuai and Huang Dashuai." At present, the territory under the jurisdiction of our army reaches Zhuo County in Youzhou in the north, Qingzhou Plain in the south, and Yanzhou East County. In addition, Qingzhou Qushuai Guan Hai, Xuzhou Qushuai Zhang Yan and other Qushuai all have tens of thousands of people, and it seems that there is a spark that can start a prairie fire, but in fact it is not. In addition to the strong combat strength of the army led by our Tiangong General, Digong General, and Rengong General, the strength of the other state commanders is not strong. However, "Speaking of this, Zhang Niujiao was a little hesitant, because the next words would definitely surprise everyone present.

Who is Zhang Jiao? The leader of the millions of Yellow Turban armies, how can he not know that Zhang Niujiao's next words are not good words. Regardless of what happened to Colonel Zuo and Huang Long, Zhang Jiao nodded at Zhang Niujiao and motioned for Zhang Niujiao to continue.

Zhang Niujiao understood, and then said: "But after all, the Han Court has been sitting in the world for four hundred years, and the powerful forces of the clans in various places are huge, once we lose in Jizhou, the dog emperor of the Han Court will recruit the world's soldiers and horses without scruples, and the private soldiers of the world will come to Jizhou, and then it will be able to gather more than the tens of thousands of people in front of him."

Looking at Huang Long and Colonel Zuo, whose foreheads were already slightly sweaty and their expressions had changed greatly, Zhang Niujiao paused, and under Zhang Jiao's encouraging gaze, he no longer cared about the two of them, but said firmly: "I believe everyone can see that the equipment of the officers and soldiers is far from being comparable to that of the Huangtian army such as us." Third, we swept all over the country, although we left soldiers and horses stationed in various places, but it was only enough to garrison, there were no extra men and horses to carry out spring ploughing, delaying spring ploughing, only with the captured official warehouse grain storage, it will be difficult to support the use of a million troops! ”。

The implication is self-evident! Huang Long scolded secretly in his heart: "Okay, you are a deflated calf, you actually want to cut Lao Tzu's military power!" ”。

Sure enough, Zhang Jiao immediately took over Zhang Niujiao's unfinished words, and asked, "Then in your opinion, what should I do to solve this crisis?" ”。 Zhang Niujiao's words made Zhang Jiao feel empowered. For a long time, Zhang Jiao has always focused on expanding the size of the army, breaking the government, and killing the rich who oppressed the people, but he did not consider the problems faced by his own army.

Zhang Niujiao looked at Huang Long and Zuo Colonel, who were glaring at him, and then at Zhang Jiao, who was looking at him with expectant eyes, and made up his mind. Awe-inspiring said: "The only way to do this is to select elite soldiers and strong men to storm Xindu. Xindu is an important town in Jizhou, and the ordnance and food stored in it must be extremely rich. As long as you take Xindu, and then either defend the city to the death, or take the initiative to attack, and fight to the death with the reinforcements of the Han army. As long as these two battles can be completely won, the Han court will inevitably estimate the prestige of our army. Taking advantage of this time, we must immediately reduce the number of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the army, as well as women and children. It only takes two or three hundred thousand elite troops to sweep the entire Jizhou. At that time, we can take Jizhou as the foundation, and the soldiers of Qing, Xu, and Yang states will contain the Han Court, and great events can be expected! ”。

"Humph! Zhang Niujiao, it's easy for you to say, the capital city is heavily guarded, and the Han court can send reinforcements to the army, and its momentum must be huge! Great sage and good teacher, you must not be bewitched by the thief Zhang Niujiao and bury the army we have worked so hard to build! ”。 Huang Long first angrily reprimanded Zhang Niujiao a few words, and then spoke to Zhang Jiao with tears in his eyes.

Colonel Zuo was also unwilling to accept the number of people he had worked so hard to accumulate, so he was cut down like this, and he echoed it. For a while, the whole tent was full of the cries of the two, like the night cry of a wild ghost.

Zhang Jiao was cried by these two people, and he was also a little undecided. But Zhang Jiao understands one thing better than the two, that is, if they don't take Xindu and win this battle, everything behind them will be empty talk.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiao immediately made a decision and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Pass on my general order, recruit all the young and strong in the army, and the Yellow Turban wrestlers will also be recruited, and at all costs, I must also break through Xindu. Whoever dares to delay the military plane will not be spared."

Looking at Zhang Jiao's vicious appearance, whether it is Huang Long or Colonel Zuo! My heart was desolate. But Zhang Niujiao was very happy, was General Tiangong finally willing to make up his mind?

"The last will obey! A few days ago, I have discussed with Feiyan, and I have already transferred 10,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers and 30,000 strong men, and I can attack the city with all my strength tomorrow! Zhang Niujiao strode forward and knelt down violently in front of Zhang Jiao, looking like he was ready to ask for his life.

Seeing Zhang Jiao staring at him viciously, Huang Long and Colonel Zuo, although they were unwilling in their hearts, could only follow Zhang Niujiao to their knees and proclaim: "The last general will obey the orders of General Tiangong."

Seeing that the two of them were soft, Zhang Jiao was not worried. Immediately said: "Give me an order to the three armies, tomorrow the third watch will make food, and the fourth watch will set off, do not break the letter, and swear not to return to the army!" ”。

The three of them agreed in unison, and each turned to leave, but Zhang Jiao suddenly said to a military general with a yellow scarf on his head: "Ning'er, you said that you did this for your father, is it right or wrong?" ”。

I saw this military general come out from behind the tent, but it was a woman dressed as a military general. This woman was born more than seven feet, with red lips and white teeth, beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a heroic appearance.

"My daughter doesn't know either, but one thing is for sure, our army is running out of food and grass. I don't know what happened to the second and third uncles! "The voice is melodious and captivating.

After listening to his daughter's words, Zhang Jiao finally made up his mind and said awe-inspiringly: "The eldest husband should be decided, and he can't be messed up." Ning'er, quickly send Tiangong Wei to hold the arrow of his father's order, go to the plains and Zhuo County in the starry night, tell your second uncle and third uncle, and order them to take the second county, and then rectify the men and horses on the spot, at least 150,000 young soldiers must be reorganized."

Zhang Ning took the arrow handed by his father, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, among the four camps of the Yellow Turban Army, the war drums rumbled, and rows of young and strong soldiers stepped out of the camp together. The military flag was unfurled, and the dust that shook the sky was not spectacular.

To the east, in the midst of Zhang Jiao's army. 120,000 young soldiers stood in array carrying shields, ladders, door panels and other objects, holding spears and short knives, hoes and sticks. The four big characters of 'General Tiangong' fluttering in the wind above the flag of the Chinese army are the symbol of the spirit of the Yellow Turban Army and the banner of Zhang Jiao.

Under the banner, Zhang Jiao wrapped his head in a yellow scarf and wore gold armor, and the golden armor was covered with a yellow Heavenly Master robe, but he was also very heroic.

Looking at the three-zhang Xindu City in the distance, Zhang Jiao gritted his teeth, threw the horsewhip to the ground hatefully, pointed at the peach wood sword in his hand and pointed obliquely at the sky, and roared hoarsely: "Siege the city!" ”。

In four directions, more than 200,000 Yellow Turban troops, as Zhang Jiao's order gradually spread, took great strides and slowly marched towards Xindu City. For a time, the sound of people shouting and neighing horses shook the heavens and the earth.

The dust raised by hundreds of thousands of people as they walked around was flying all over the sky, like a wild dragon sweeping across the earth, which was terrifying. Hundreds of thousands of big feet trampled on the earth, and the earth seemed to be unable to withstand this heavy trampling, and let out a wail, which made the Han army above the city frightened.

"Newspaper, general, thieves dispatched more than 200,000 horses, is coming to the letter capital", in the Prime Minister's mansion, Dong Zhuo is convening all the generals to discuss the strategy of resisting the enemy, and the scouts are coming quickly.

Dong Zhuo was not afraid when he heard that the Yellow Turban Army had mobilized more than 200,000 horses, and immediately shouted: "Where are Li Dao, Guo Yan, Niu Fu, and Hua Xiong?" ”。

Li Dao and the other four generals took a step forward at the same time, bowed down and shouted: "The last general!" ”。

"Ordered Li Wei to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to guard the north gate, Guo Yan to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to guard the west gate, Niu Fu to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to guard the south gate, and Hua Xiong to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to guard the east gate with the general. The rest of the men and horses are stationed in place, and there must be no mistakes! Dong Zhuo took out the arrows one by one and handed them to his henchmen.

The four of them got Dong Zhuo's general, and they all responded: "No", and then rushed to their respective city gates.

As the war drums in the city of Xindu were beating loudly, 12,000 strong soldiers guarded the four gates.

At the east gate, above the city tower, Dong Zhuo was draped all over his body, a big sword in his hand stood proudly, and on the left and right were five hundred flying bear soldiers armed with fine iron spears. Behind him, Dian Wei held a double halberd, and several wolf-killing soldiers followed.

However, after only a stick of incense, Qu Shuai Zhang Bai, who served as the commander of the former army, rode a snow-white war horse and appeared under the city. I saw this man pointing his spear at the head of the city and shouting angrily: "Fill the river."

"Qu Shuai has an order, fill the river!"

With Zhang Baiqi's order, 5,000 young men with sacks on their backs rushed out of the 20,000 former troops, and these people were not lined up in a dense formation, but in a scattered formation. But the same thing is that all of them have a cloth bag full of sand on their backs.

Hua Xiong, who was on duty in the city, understood at a glance that this was to fill in the moat! He immediately stepped forward, pulled a strong bow, put on an arrow, and instantly buckled the hair.

With a 'bang', the arrow was firmly nailed to the ground about thirty paces outside the moat, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

"Prepare the archers, the enemy army enters the moat within thirty paces, and freely chooses the target!" , Hua Xiong's majestic voice suddenly sounded in the city.

The 1,000 archers who received Hua Xiong's order immediately put their arrows on the bowstring, but they did not pull their bows, but carefully searched for their targets.

One hundred steps

Fifty steps

Thirty paces, a sound of bowstrings ringing, suddenly erupted, and without Hua Xiong's order again, the archers who had been waiting for the battle immediately drew their bows and released their arrows, and shot six or seven hundred people in an instant. With the exception of a few arrows that missed the target, or two arrows that hit one person, most of the archers hit the target.

For a while, the Yellow Turban Army's already scattered formation was like a bite of bread that had been bitten by someone, and a small piece was missing. A third of the 2,000 men at the front fell, and the blood stained the earth red, making these cannon fodder-like Yellow Turban soldiers can't help but be in turmoil.

"The whole army is moving forward, who dares to take a step back, there will be no forgiveness!!" Zhang Baiqi shouted, and a thousand overseers lined up. (To be continued)
