"Commander, but there's a war?"
Although Niu Jian is good at martial arts, he is only a newcomer on the battlefield in front of others, seeing Xu Dumu and the others returning, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, grabbed the horse's mane, and asked Deng Ji: "Or, I'll go to the back and have a look?" ”
Fang Meng, Ma Pi, and Guo Shi also turned their eyes, the people on the baggage cart even held their breath, Deng Ji also had some drums in his stomach, glanced at the auxiliary soldiers who were a little commotion, and said with a forced smile: "Xu Dumu has seen it, we don't need to send scouts anymore, if there is really a war, the general will arrange it." ”
After a while, the Chinese army had already issued an order, the three armies were suspended, and General Shan Gen summoned the leaders above the commander of the tun to discuss the meeting.
When Deng Ji received the order to rush to the Chinese army, a field had been cleared there, and most of the captains, military candidates, and commanders had arrived.
There are only four lieutenants under Liu Pang and Sun Tian, Deng Ji walked to Tian Xiaokan and stood obediently behind him, and after a while, all the generals gathered, and Gengen looked around, nodded and said: "Xu Dumu, tell me about the military information you have discovered!" ”
"Whoa!" Xu Dumu stood up from behind another military marquis under the command of Tian Mazi, this guy attaches great importance to his identity, the tun chief is only the lowest official position here, except for the root, the rest of the captains, military candidates, etc. are higher than him, he waved his hand around the group, and then said: "The last general was ordered to find out, after Fan County was defeated, Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, has galloped to the counties, so that it is strictly guarded, and another 3,000 county soldiers were sent out of Puyang to pursue us, and there are five hundred heavy armored horsemen!" ”
"Haha!" Liu Mandao is the first heavy general under the command of Lu Gen, after hearing Xu Dumu's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted first: "This is a fool sent to the door, let's ask for it!" ”
The remnants of this yellow turban are only 4,500 people, not that Liu Man's sword is big, and the defeated army does not dare to call the elite soldiers of the Banguan Mansion, but the state and county soldiers are just farmers who serve in the military, and they are not stronger than the moth thieves who struggle out of the pile of dead, and the most worrying thing is that there are only 500 heavy armored horsemen, but fortunately, there are also 600 horsemen under the command of Qiang, although less than half of the heavy armor are still strong, but they also have the strength to fight.
The so-called heavy armor horse, people wearing armor, horses wearing vests, war horses, armor and vests, all three are valuables, knights are naturally carefully selected from the soldiers who only serve in the county for one year (note), and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of other soldiers, but if they can eat, the harvest is enough to satisfy the moth thieves.
"Where?"
Among several captains, the squinting Pang Shuangji is the most delicate one, and he, like Deng Ji, is also an old moth thief who has followed Zhang Mancheng since Nanyang, and is good at using the double halberd as a name.
Xu Dumu has always been competent as a scout, he has already found out clearly, and Zhengse replied: "Captain Pang, this county army is coming from Puyang, the scout is estimated to have detected us, and the brothers along the way reported that they are marching very fast, and they are only sixty miles away from our army, and they can catch up at noon tomorrow at the latest!" ”
The situation has been understood, and after coughing lightly, after attracting the attention of the generals, he said solemnly in his deep voice: "We are dragged down by the baggage, and the speed is not fast, and we will enter Wei County in Jizhou after walking to the northwest for another three or two days. ”
If in the next few years, the authority of the Han family falls, and there are thieves passing through their own territory, the local Taishou will only be happy to give them out of the country and let these thieves harm others, but now the Han Yuwei is still there, if he really does this, he will have to be held accountable, and Qiao Mao, the Taishou of the Eastern County, will not do his best.
Deng Ji was still standing in the corner, he was only a small commander, although he had barely been counted into the "general" column, he had no say in the middle of the barracks, so he could only prick up his ears and listen to the roots continue: "In this case, let's stop and wait for this county soldier!" ”
In this Yellow Turban Army, the distribution method has long been a convention: food is the most important means for Qu Shuai to control the whole army, and all the seizures of each department must be offered; Horses can improve mobility and combat effectiveness, which are needed by all departments, and the captured ones are uniformly distributed according to merit after the war; Weapons and armor are needed for each person's life, and the gains from the battlefield belong to their own decisions, even if they are needed, they can only be exchanged for them and cannot be taken by force, otherwise who will be willing to die in the future in the event of a war?
The temptation of five hundred heavy armor cavalry equipment is even tempted by the six hundred cavalry of his personal guards, and the six hundred cavalry of his personal guards are still unevenly armored, if he can completely annihilate this county soldier and be divided up by several other departments, he can at least replenish two hundred armor, and if he gets more captured by his own command, maybe he can also expand the personal guard.
The soldiers of the three thousand states can not be taken into account at all, this is simply a meal sent by Lord Taishou of Dongjun for nothing, don't be a fool!
Since it is possible to fight tomorrow, today it is natural to let the soldiers and strong men recuperate and wait for work, and Gengen made up his mind in his heart, got up and shouted: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”
It's called the military discussion, but this time Gengen didn't give everyone any time to discuss, Deng Ji was stunned before he reacted, and hurriedly stood up and responded in unison with everyone: "The end will be!" ”
"This place is also open enough, and if the order goes down, all the departments will set up camp here, and all the soldiers, including the people of Fan County, will be given sufficient food and salary, and they will be fed today and tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow's fifth watch will make dinner, and when the county soldiers come to set up a battle to fight, Liu Mandao's department is the left wing, Sun Huozi's department is the right wing, Fan County's people are the front army, and the rest of the troops are with me in the middle army!"
"Whoa!"
The people of Fan County are not as lucky as the people of Yongqiu, these two meals are for them to be fed up but to come forward to be cannon fodder when they fight tomorrow, and when the officers and soldiers are entangled by them, the main force of the Yellow Turban will pounce on them to pick up the cheap, this is the usual trick of the moth thieves who fled all the way, and they can survive this battle, and the various departments will be organized if they really need it, Deng Ji failed to answer Xie Yun before, but this matter is not easy to announce.
Unlike most of the Yongqiu people in the team who are from the lowest level of society, these people from Fan County are all children of the Hao clan, they have never suffered much, they have just been hungry for four or five days, and there are nearly 100 people who have been killed by the guards of the Yellow Turbans.
More Fan County citizens rushed to eat like crazy, no matter what, it was real to fill their stomachs first, and they completely forgot how these foods were disdainful when they were "not tired of eating" in the past.
The next day, on the first day of March in the third year of Zhongping, the first light rain after spring.
After breakfast, except for the people of Fan County, all the old and weak were gathered in the camp that was temporarily erected yesterday behind the army.
Of course, in the eyes of most officers and soldiers, there are no women and children, old and weak, whether they are men or women, ancient or drooping, as long as they are stained with yellow scarves, they can rush to the front of them and stab them, so the old and weak women and children are all holding in their hands all the sickles, iron tongs, wooden sticks and stones that can be found around, whether they are useful or useless, like pinching life-saving straws.
In this day and age, no one is really willing to be a lamb to the slaughter.
According to the military order of the army, the elite soldiers of the army began to set up the formation after breakfast, more than 1,000 people of Fan County were driven to the front of the Chinese army, the weapons in their hands were slightly stronger than the old and weak in the camp, which was regarded as the "front army", behind the people of Fan County, there were 500 archers under the command of the army, if anyone dared not listen to the order, it was immediately a rain of arrows to kill.
Standing for a long time is easy to get tired, those county soldiers are still far away, the general ordered, the soldiers can sit on the ground, wait for orders.
The rain has been dripping, more than 4,000 Yellow Turban soldiers sat in the mud, watching the scouts gallop back and forth like meteors, telling the Chinese army the enemy's movements, they came quickly, approaching more than ten miles in half an hour, it is estimated that they are really worried that this Yellow Turban will run from Dongjun to Jizhou to make trouble.
Thirty miles away!
Twenty-five miles, the officers and soldiers went to the Yellow Turban to set up camp and wait, and they also stayed in place to rest.
The officers and troops are moving forward again, and there are still eighteen miles, and the scouts of the two armies have already fought!
Five miles, the officers and soldiers are not stupid, and they pause and rest again.
The discipline of the Yellow Turban Army is not strict, the news quickly spread to the following through various channels, the officers and troops are getting closer and closer, and everyone's heartstrings are getting tighter and tighter.
It was already three moments, and in the distance, a black heavy armored knight jumped into everyone's eyes, followed by two, and the black heavy armored knights kept pouring out, and soon there was a black cloud that couldn't stop beating at the end of the sight.
The two armies were only a mile apart!
It was not easy for the armies of this era to take a position, and when the two armies faced each other, the commander would line up in the distance, and then slowly approach until the bow and arrow were out of range.
For the sake of his own political future, Qiao Yuanwei, the Taishou of Dongjun, was in a hurry to hunt down the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and the orders given to the county lieutenant were too harsh, which directly led to this tragic war.
Except for the benevolent and righteous Song Xianggong in history, any general will seize the flaws exposed by the enemy, this remnants of the yellow turban have eaten a lot, but they are all struggling out of the pile of dead people, and the root has a good grasp of the fighter plane, so while the officers and soldiers are not stable, with a wave of their big hand, the whole army has rushed forward.
As soon as the whole army was launched, Deng Ji took Fang Meng, Guo Shi, Ma Pi, Niu Jian four healthy soldiers, and more than 50 auxiliary soldiers rushed forward with Tian Mazi's uncle and nephew, and next to Deng Ji was Xu Dumutun.
For the gray-black more than 40 catties (Han weight, now more than 20 catties, and then involving mu, li, zhang, ruler, stone, jin, two and other measurements, all according to the Han example, no longer cumbersome explanation) Zajia, Deng Ji has been greedy for a long time, although Han Qi has a set when he broke Fan County, but he is now under his own family, the armor is private property among the moth thieves, Han Qi is seriously injured and can not go into battle, Deng Ji is embarrassed to take it.
The official army of Dongjun is well-equipped, although the foot soldiers are also only wearing two armors, the five hundred heavy armored horsemen are all armor, and the war horses are also wearing horse armor.
Therefore, for Deng Ji, who has always been reluctant to rush forward, this time is a bit of an exception, he is full of energy, but he is worried that there are all soldiers around him in the Chinese army array, and in the end, he can grab a pair.
Of course, being forced by sharp knives and arrows, it was those Fan County citizens who rushed to the forefront.
