Chapter 37 The Origin of Lux

Deng Mao is the second largest commander in the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army after Cheng Yuanzhi, as soon as he saw Cheng Yuanzhi killed, he immediately took over Cheng Yuanzhi's banner and ordered: "Pass my general's order, and the whole army will attack the city."

In Deng Mao's view, although the Yellow Turban Army was disrupted by this sudden appearance of cavalry, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army was still there, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people, and it was just a matter of turning over if they wanted to capture Fanyang City.

With Deng Mao's command, the Yellow Turban Army did not collapse, but regrouped. The 30,000 Yellow Turban troops besieging the city continued to fight with the defenders, while the Chinese army commanded by Deng Mao took the Yellow Turban wrestlers as the front, and more than 10,000 Chinese troops pressed on them. The 20,000-strong Yellow Turban Army tightly bit Liu Jin's cavalry, compressing the 2,000 Han Iron Cavalry to less than 300 steps from the city gate to the Yellow Turban Army.

Besides, Liu Jin led the Yanmen Iron Cavalry to kill the Yellow Turban Army in one go, thinking that he could enter the city for reinforcements. But unexpectedly, the Yellow Turban Army of the dead coach Cheng Yuanzhi still did not disperse, but rushed up more ferociously, so that Gao Pei, the main general in charge of the north gate guard, did not dare to open the city to greet him, Liu Jin couldn't help but be furious.

"Brothers, kill with me", Liu Jin shouted, and did not enter the city, but turned around. Once again, he led two thousand Han army iron cavalry straight to the Chinese army of the Yellow Turban Army, and the sharp dragon halberd slashed horizontally and vertically, and the Yellow Turban Army killed heavy casualties.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the two thousand Han army iron horsemen brandished the three-edged iron spears in their hands and rushed into the dense military formation of the Yellow Turban Army again.

Liu Jin took the lead, and the left and right guards were the reorganized Xiaowu Guards, but now there are more Xiaowu Guards, with forty-eight people.

The forty-eight Xiao Wuwei were also three-edged iron spears made of fine iron, and the iron spears they stabbed out were faster and more powerful than ordinary cavalry.

The hideous triangular iron spear pierced the defenseless body of the Yellow Turban sergeant again and again with a violent sound of breaking wind, bringing bursts of bloody wind and rain. In front of Xiao Wuwei's horse, no matter how brave the Yellow Turban Army was, it was useless. The raging war horses, the brave warrior guards, and the fierce offensive have become a torrent that the Yellow Turban Army can never stop, a torrent of steel.

The distance of more than three hundred paces in front of the cavalry troops charging at high speed was only half a pillar of incense. When Liu Jin led the Yanmen Iron Cavalry to kill only fifty steps away from him, Deng Mao was also afraid.

He never imagined that this Han cavalry, which only had 2,000 people, would be so brave.

As soon as Deng Mao, who was wrapped in yellow cloth, wanted to give the order to retreat, he heard a roar from the distance: "Nine blows of the scorching sun."

Just this voice made Deng Mao's gaze can't help but follow the prestige. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look can frighten Deng Mao.

I saw the huge halberd in the hand of the Han general riding on the back of a fiery red war horse in the distance couldn't stop waving, and every time he waved it, he heard the man shout, and at least one or two dozen soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army fell with the shouting.

Their deaths were extremely tragic, with at least 200 Yellow Turban soldiers falling under nine swings, none of them able to preserve the integrity of their bodies, and even more so being cut off by a halberd.

For a moment, Deng Mao and the yellow figure who was no longer more than twenty paces away from the man could be found, and he dared to stop in front of his horse.

This terrifying battlefield like the Shura slaughterhouse made all the Yellow Turban Army who were lucky enough to witness Liu Jin's move frightened.

With a hint of evil smile, Liu Jin drove the red charcoal fire dragon horse under his crotch to slowly approach Deng Mao's Chinese army commander's banner. The extremely cold murderous aura on his body swept away towards the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still standing in all directions.

Witnessing Liu Jin's horror, Deng Mao, who wanted to flee for his life, was stunned for a while, and it was not until the cold painted dragon halberd was on his shoulder that Deng Mao, who had the name of the first brave general of the Yellow Turban in Youzhou, came back to his senses. He muttered in horror: "You, you, don't come here", and the fear in his tone was like seeing a ghost.

Liu Jin ignored him, and just shouted: "You and the other main generals have been captured, and those who abandon their weapons and surrender will spare their lives, but those who resist will be killed." In the shouting, Liu Jin's murderous aura swept away, and many people were scared with a cold shiver, and hurriedly dropped the weapon in his hand.

The nearly 2,000-strong Yanmen Iron Cavalry also shouted: "Surrender and avoid death, and those who resist will not be killed."

In this situation, countless people have dropped their rudimentary weapons in their hands. However, there are still hundreds of die-hard members of the Yellow Turban Sect who still refuse to surrender.

Liu Jin just smiled faintly, and hundreds of wolf-like Yanmen iron horsemen rushed over, and it didn't take long for the hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers who were still stubborn to die in battle

In Youzhou in early spring, the cold wind is still cold. The city of Fanyang, which was in turmoil, still has the imprint of the aftermath of the war.

In Fanyang City, in the Assassin Mansion.

Liu Yan, who is nearly fifty years old in Youzhou, has already set up a celebration banquet, and the participants include Youzhou's Don't Drive Xian Yu Yin, Youzhou Sima Xian Yu Fu, and School Captains Yang Huai and Gao Pei. Liu Jin, the general of the middle of the peace, Sima Mengyao of the army, and Sima Heyero of the other departments.

"This Fanyang battle, fortunately the virtuous nephew traveled thousands of miles to help, otherwise I am afraid that the old man's dereliction of duty is inevitable, come and come, the old man respects the virtuous nephew with a glass", as he spoke, Liu Jin, who had gray temples, raised his wine glass and arched his hand towards Liu Jin.

Seeing this, Liu Jin also raised his glass and said: "Uncle and little nephew have the grace of support and acquaintance, and where they are useful, the little nephew will do his best." Although Liu Jin didn't know how he became a member of the Han family in a daze, Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knew that in this era, the Han family was very popular.

You don't see, Liu Bei, the big ear of weaving mats and shoes, shouted everywhere that he was a member of the Han family, although this name is unclear, but it is such an unclear name, so that the big ears continue to have virtuous ministers and good generals to help, and in the end, he even became one of the founding emperors of the Shu Han Dynasty. This shows how important it is to have a good background in this era.

After a banquet, Liu Jin and Liu Yan enjoyed themselves, although they couldn't say how good their relationship was, but Liu Yan praised Liu Jin constantly.

What kind of Han Qilin'er, the sky will fall from the Han Dynasty, etc., etc., anyway, how good it sounds and how to praise it, Liu Jin himself is a little fluttering.

When the banquet dispersed, Liu Jin returned to the north camp of Fanyang City, where he was garrisoned, and ordered someone to escort Deng Mao to see him.

Today's battle can be described as a lot of strange things. First of all, the Yellow Turban Army was able to reunite after the death of coach Cheng Yuanzhi, which made Liu Jin very puzzled.

Because, judging from Liu Jin's experience in the army for more than three years in this era, he has experienced nearly 100 battles. Whether it was the Han army or the Huns, as long as the main general was killed, most of the troops were scattered, except for a few troops with high prestige of the deputy general, who thought that this was basically the result.

But obviously, Deng Mao's status in the army is obviously inferior to Cheng Yuanzhi, who has been beheaded, so after the main general is killed, why can the Yellow Turban Army gather but not disperse?

Second, what's going on with the unique Yellow Turban wrestler in the Yellow Turban Army?

There is no record of the Yellow Turban Wrestlers in history, and the Yellow Turban Wrestlers do appear on the battlefield today. Moreover, the wooden poles, spears, knives and other items they held in their hands were still the standard equipment of the Han army, and the time for their rebellion was still short, and there were many Yellow Turban troops in various places.

A small-scale Yellow Turban Army like Youzhou is not to mention a lot of rebel forces in Zhangjiao, but there are at least five or six of them. Zhang Jiao would never let a large number of iron weapons be dispersed for the use of small troops, which is not logical. Imagine if you were Zhang Jiao, would you scatter the iron weapons that were already scarce?

The question is, with Cheng Yuanzhi, a small commander of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, how can he set up a Yellow Turban wrestler with a scale of 5,000 people in a short period of time, which cannot but make people suspicious. Unless Zhang Jiao had iron weapons to equip his troops on a large enough scale, but this is not mentioned in the history books.

Just when Liu Jin was wondering, Meng Yao had already brought Deng Mao here.

Although Deng Mao wanted to pretend to be tough, but before he could get angry, the two Xiaowu guards who escorted him gave him a kick and immediately kicked Deng Mao to his knees.

"Deng Mao, General Ben is here to ask you, why can you take over the Yellow Turban Army immediately after Cheng Yuanzhi's death today. You tell me the truth, otherwise you will know how powerful General Ben is", Liu Jin shouted angrily and asked with a cold expression.

That Deng Mao had seen Liu Jin's martial arts on the battlefield today, and he was so frightened that he trembled, where did he dare to lie, and said honestly: "The villain is the deputy general of Youzhou appointed by General Tiangong himself, and the villain was originally the commander of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, but Cheng Qushuai is the apprentice of General Tiangong, and the villain is Xian."

Hearing this, Liu Jin understood that Cheng Yuanzhi was a dove occupying the magpie's nest, so Deng Mao could quickly regain control of the army.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin asked again: "What's the matter with the five thousand yellow turban wrestlers?" ”。

Deng Mao was shocked when he heard this, the Yellow Turban Lux is one of the biggest secrets in the Yellow Turban Army, how does this person know?

I just wanted to lie, but Liu Jin saw Deng Mao's thoughts, and snorted softly, and the frightened Deng Mao immediately changed his mind, and said in his heart: "It's okay, it's important to save your life."

immediately changed his words and said: "That Lux was brought by Cheng Qushuai from Jizhou, and the villain doesn't know it, my lord." As he spoke, Deng Mao also had a handful of snot and tears, giving people a sense of sincerity.

How could this little trick be concealed from Liu Jin, who has received professional interrogation training, only to see Liu Jin snort coldly: "Twenty palms, dare to deceive again, behead."

Under Deng Mao's stunned, a warrior guard raised his big hand and spread his five fingers. There were twenty bangs, and Deng Mao, who was beaten, immediately turned into a real cry.

"Speak", there is no extra language, Liu Jin asked.

Deng Mao suffered and was honest. At that time, he said with tears in his eyes: "It was indeed Cheng Qushuai who brought it from Jizhou, but once Cheng Qushuai and the villain drank too much, and vaguely said that these 5,000 wrens were given by General Tiangong, and it is said that their blades were purchased from the Jizhou government" (to be continued).
