Section 90 The enemy in the alley can be stepped on [II]

After counting the results of the entire battle, Yu Poison couldn't help but say to Le Jin excitedly:

"Sixty-six of the enemy were annihilated, and not one of them escaped! We only had three minor injuries! Forty horses were also captured! It's a total win! Victory! ”

For such a result, Lejin was also quite surprised.

When arranging the war, Zhang Qi actually did it very simply. He left all the cavalry in his hands, except for the necessary scouts, to Lejin. In addition to the 300 people sent by Guan Hai from the Yu Poison Department, this battle was actually prepared to use 400 cavalry to deal with 60 Han troops.

-- The so-called "lion fights rabbit with all his might" is not allowed to be careless on the battlefield. Besides, what if there are additional reinforcements in the rear of the Han army?

Therefore, the task that Zhang Qi gave to Yu Poison and Le Jin was just to use the strategy of "catching turtles in the urn" to find a way to lure the enemy into Dong'e County, and then rely on superior forces to encircle and kill them. If the enemy is not fooled, after the main force of the Tianping Army has gone away, chase and kill for a while, so that the Han cavalry does not dare to follow too closely.

In order to lure the enemy into the city, Le Jin discussed with Yu Poison and simply left the entire city defense vacant. The scale of Dong'e City is enough to accommodate 40,000 to 50,000 residents. After the Yellow Turban army occupied the city twice, there were many vacant houses in the city. Four hundred cavalrymen, with the exception of a few astute observers, were quietly hidden in a few large open rooms.

Next, after some suspicion, the Han cavalry finally entered the city. Moreover, this Han army did not know why, but unfortunately it actually entered an extremely narrow street. Yu Poison and Le Jin, who got the news, immediately dispatched without hesitation, and then successfully blocked the Han cavalry in this narrow street, and surrounded and killed them front and back.

The streets of the city were narrow, which was very unfavorable for cavalry galloping. Therefore, in advance, Yu Poison discussed with Le Jin, and when the Han army was blocked, he immediately dismounted and fought. Even if the Han army could escape a few by taking advantage of the houses on both sides of the street, the battle would be a big victory.

What the two of them didn't expect was that the commander of the Han army was so idiotic. Trapped on the street with limited mobility, he didn't even order his subordinates in time to dismount and fight. As a result, the Han cavalrymen sitting on horseback were stabbed to death with spears, shot by bows and arrows, and trampled to death by squeezing off their horses without any cover......

This is really a model of the so-called "one general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies"!

Of course, the wave of desperate charges launched by the commander of the Han army was indeed unstoppable. If it weren't for Lejin to become fast, maybe this time, he would have been rushed out by the Han army. If the Han army succeeds in breaking through, the evaluation of the Han army commander will become "not chaotic in the face of danger, dare to fight first".

Therefore, many times, the victory or defeat on the battlefield only depends on a certain critical moment. If you stand up, you win. If he didn't hold on, he was defeated and died.

This battle started quickly and ended quickly. It didn't take long for the Tianping Army, which had packed up the battlefield, to ride a war horse, take the booty, and leave Dong'e County in a swift manner, turning this depressed city into an empty city that was undefended.

When the bold people of Dong'e City dared to go out of the door to peek at the victory or defeat of the battle between the officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army, more than two hours had passed since the moment of the earth-shattering battle between the two sides.

The streets were stained with blood, showing the brutality of the battle. In the center of the street, there is a slaughterhouse-like scene.

Fifty or sixty carcasses that had been stripped into bare pigs were randomly stacked together to form a small mountain of corpses. Other than that, it's just- there's nothing.

horses, weapons, armor, clothes......

There is nothing left.

However, the people of Dong'e City are not surprised by this. The poverty of the Yellow Turban Army has long been famous in the world. It was actually a normal phenomenon that they had looted so thoroughly this time that even all the dead horses were taken away for military rations.

But these remaining "things", or corpses that should not be called as such, are a nuisance.

Leaving corpses in the open will cause a plague. If you want to say that the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, why did it suddenly erupt like a volcano and create such a big movement? In addition to the government's harsh harvesting, widespread drought and menacing plague are also two important behind-the-scenes drivers.

Besides, these dead people should be Han Jun. If the corpses of these Han soldiers are not well buried, when the Han army comes back and finds that their robes are exposed to the wilderness, it will anger these rough people. Rather than provoking those rough embryos at that time, it is better to clean up these hands and tails in advance.

It's just that......

The people have a bitter face.

Digging a pit and burying people costs money. Besides, if the bodies were not wrapped in at least a cloth, it would be against the customs of the time. But when it comes to cloth, it's still money!

In the Han Dynasty, grain and cloth were hard currency. Whenever there is a war, the value of these two things is usually more sought-after than five baht. After all, in troubled times, money often can't buy food and cloth. And the value of grain in war is at least several times higher than in peacetime.

Most of the big families in the city fled on the night the Yellow Turban Army broke the city. In the city now, there are only a few elderly villagers who can be the masters. However, in order to discuss the cost of the funeral, several villagers fought for an hour.

In this way, it will be dark. Therefore, when a Han army dressed in various costumes came to the city under the city with a banner with the word "Tao" written on it, there was still a small half of those corpses left, and they were piled up on the cross street in white flowers.

"What's going on!"

Under the flag, an old man about fifty years old glared at the boss with two round eyes, and angrily asked his cronies around him.

A quick-witted follower has already arrested a few people and asked about the situation. At this moment, when the lord asked, he hurriedly came up and replied:

"Master, these are the royal warriors who were killed by the moth thief......"

Then, with a little speculation from the people in the city, this personal entourage added a little bit of his own play, and talked about how these imperial warriors were killed by moths. The round-eyed old man listened to a few words, his temper subsided a little, and he waved a horsewhip into the air, and said lightly:

"Alright. The story is well written, but none of it is true. ”

The entourage knew his master's temper well, and when he saw the horsewhip coming, he didn't bow his head, and smiled and said "Nuonuo" twice, and then retreated. It seems that he knew in advance that his master's whip would not fall.

All the way to the empty county temple, the old man surnamed Tao did not get off the horse, so he entered the gate of the temple. He snorted with his nose, and then turned around the wall of the county government courtyard with the reins, and suddenly said:

"This gang of moth thieves is good! Didn't you mess up this place? ”

Hearing what the old man surnamed Tao said, the entourage around him paid attention to the surroundings one by one, and found that it was indeed unexpectedly clean, without the filth everywhere in the ordinary Yellow Turban Army camp that he had seen before.

A young man in light armor was amazed:

"Father, this place seems to be cleaner and tidier than the thief chieftain's own tent!"

The old man surnamed Tao smiled "hehe" and said:

"These moth thieves really love to be clean! It just so happened that it was cheap for me. Let's set up the camp here! ”

After speaking, the old man surnamed Tao jumped off his horse and said to the young man in light armor:

"Shang'er, go and invite Liu Yishi to come over and discuss things."

"Father, Liu Yishi was reluctant to send his wounded men to the baggage team, and as a result, the trip was slowed down. I don't know where he was walking! ”

"Then you can go find it for me!"

The old man sat on a cross-puff (commonly known as Maza) and said impatiently.

"People are not a few years older than your kid, but they are much better than you kid! Besides, people are the number one heroes who break their own fortunes, do you take a few more steps, is it troublesome? ”

That "businessman" knows his father and often says things out of tune. Even His Majesty the Emperor knows this. However, although there are many officials who privately ridicule Daddy for this, because Daddy is very capable of doing things, those guys can't find much fault to blame Daddy. However, as a son, it is best to honestly follow what his father says. Otherwise, if Daddy suddenly loses his temper, he can't afford it......

Thinking of this, the young man "Shang'er", or the potter, immediately took two attendants, mounted a fast horse, and followed the direction of the road from which he came, all the way to the back.
