Volume 1: Jizhou Thorn History Department Chapter 66: Sima will break the enemy's east gate
La Ri, like the modern version of Chinese New Year's Eve, is nothing more than the word 'reunion'.
Of course, at a time when the world is falling apart, the so-called 'reunion' is just an unattainable luxury for most people.
That's why there are so many deceptive lies, saying that no matter whether it's peace or war, we have to rush back to celebrate this festival together.
However, how many people can achieve this sentence other than self-deception and self-comfort?
But it is precisely because it cannot be achieved that some people believe it.
Belief is a trace of faith left in the heart. Without faith, how can we be fun?
If this kind of 'reunion' is extended to the barracks, it is nothing more than that everyone is fortunate enough to be able to go forward and kill the enemy together and come back alive together; then each other will be fortunate enough to see each other still holding up a rice bowl on the stove the next day and having a meal together; after the meal, they will have the honor to chatter together.
In fact, 'reunion' is as simple as that.
However, everyone knows that this 'simple' is not simple.
In the barracks, I am still panting today, and maybe I will never come back tomorrow when I go to the battlefield.
In this era of human life, no one can easily escape, so more people choose paralysis.
There is wine, when singing; If there is meat, let it be eaten; There is no pleasure, when blood is splashed!
This is the fighting man in the barracks, there is wine and meat, and being able to eat a full meal is more important than anything else.
Although there is not much grain and grass in Chen Nuo's military camp at present, and the cattle wine is also sent by the villagers, he still tries his best to satisfy the soldiers.
On the day of Lari, he took out everything he could take out and rewarded the soldiers, allowing them to eat and drink to their heart's content.
After eating and drinking, Chen Nuo glanced around at the soldiers and knew that when the fire came, what should be done had to be done.
He suddenly drew his sword, and the flash of the knife immediately attracted the attention of all the soldiers.
They stopped drinking, stopped eating meat, and looked at their main general, Chen Nuo, without saying a word. Chen Nuo was still talking and laughing with them just now, why did he suddenly pull out his knife and change his face?
Chen Nuo held the knife in his hand, glanced at the soldiers, and said: "General Ben is busy with the affairs of the city these days, and rarely asks about the affairs in the camp, but there are some slight feelings that General Ben has heard of. I heard that there have been rumors in the camp these days about the shortage of food and grass in the army, and there are also things about the rescue of soldiers from all walks of life, since they have been rumored, you may also want to know one or two of them. Well, in order to set the record straight, General Ben might as well make this matter clear now, so that everyone can know. ”
The matter of grain and grass and saving soldiers is related to the stability of the army's morale, which is a top secret, and ordinary soldiers cannot know about it, and it is deliberately concealed from it. Listening to Chen Nuo's words, he meant to shake with the soldiers, this was too important, Zhao Xue thought that Chen Nuo had drunk too much, so he pulled his sleeve.
Chen Nuo ignored it, glanced at everyone again, and said, "First, about the matter of grain and grass, General Ben can tell you in detail." To tell you the truth, since our army entered Xiuxian, in addition to getting one or two days' food from Guangchuan, as well as the baggage captured after winning the battle of Gongsun Fan, in fact, the grain and grass have always been very tight.
But everyone may have to ask, since there is only so much grain and grass, how did you survive until now? Of course, you may know a thing or two about this, in addition to saving, of course, it is forbidden to waste. Among them was a prohibition of alcohol...... But when it comes to Prohibition, I'm afraid that some rabbit cubs are going to scold me Chen someone a word or two behind my back, right? Hehe, don't laugh, originally, this winemaking is brewing, but it's grain, can you not help it?
Of course, you may have questions, our army took over the repair of the county without a single knife or a shot, how much should be left in the treasury of the county seat? Hi! It's okay not to talk about this thing, Lao Tzu is very angry when it comes to it, these dog officials don't lose to the big-eared thieves when they run for their lives, even corruption is black enough, except for throwing down a big seal of the county order, nothing left for Lao Tzu......"
When all the soldiers heard this, they all scolded the dog officer, and they were unhappy for Chen Nuo, and of course they were unhappy for themselves.
However, when Chen Nuo talked about the 'big-eared thief', many people on the field didn't know who he was referring to, and even Zhao Xue and the others were stunned.
The big-eared thieves are still serving as county commanders in the plains, and their escape is not yet famous in the world, of course they don't know.
Chen Nuo just casually talked about Liu Bei, and he didn't have time to explain to them, and then said: "Listening to me here, everyone should also understand something, right?" There is no relief outside, there is no surplus food inside, and the reason why it has survived until now is thanks to the spontaneous relief of the people in the city from time to time, otherwise our army would have been out of cooking a long time ago, how can it support it until now?
But then again, today, Nara Day, I shouldn't have said such a disheartening thing about such a great holiday, but I really don't want to hide it from you. To tell the truth, our army did not have much food and grass, and it was only enough for one or two days, but in order for everyone to eat and drink well, and to have a good holiday, I have taken out all the grain and grass and fed your stomachs. So, tonight and then, there will not be a grain of grain left in our army! ”
As soon as Chen Nuo's words came out, it was tantamount to a thunderbolt, which blew up everyone's eyes, and even the trace of alcohol just now was awakened.
Those whose brains turn fast have long since fallen to the ground, and the six gods have no owner. In the big camp, the pot immediately exploded.
"Panic what!"
Chen Nuo grabbed the knife in his hand, and with a flick of the blade, he immediately sealed the mouths of those people: "...... General Ben hasn't finished his words yet, so stop me! This is the first, the grain and grass are gone, you all know, now I will talk about the second thing.
At the beginning of the siege of the city, didn't I send two groups of people to find Yao Gong Yao Guoxiang in Guangchuan and General Yuan Shaoyuan in Yecheng to ask for reinforcements, but now, we can't even see the shadow of a single reinforcement, so you can probably guess what the situation is......"
Chen Nuo's eyes slowly swept over everyone's uneasy faces, and he nodded heavily: "Not bad!" They all refused my request, and it is impossible for them to send any more rescuers in the future, and we should not count on foreign help! And Xiu County, where we are located, is to put it ugly, but now it has become a child raised by a stepmother, and no one loves it......
Is it that funny! You must know that in addition to all of us, there are only five or six thousand residents left in Xiuxian County today and the current lonely city! But outside our city, there are countless moths! They also want to break down our city and storm it to kill and plunder. At present, our army has no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and the thieves are besieging the city and not leaving, do you understand what this means? ”
What else could it mean? Many people bowed their heads, a little deflated.
It seems that this time it is a death sentence, and if you don't fight, you will have to starve to death!
But Chen Nuo Chen Nuo didn't tell them this, he raised the knife and slashed at the wooden case in front of him, and with a snap, the corner of the wooden case was broken.
Chen Nuo held the knife, his eyes breathed fire, he glanced at everyone, and shouted hoarsely: "Yes, if you can't leave the city, you may still survive for three or five days with the surplus food in your abdomen; Or simply sneak out of the city, maybe you can escape, but you must know that once I am caught, not to mention me, even the three generals Zhao, Pan, and Dian will not spare their lives! ”
When everyone heard Chen Nuo say, they all hung their heads and drooped their heads, there was really no way, are there really only these two roads left?
Chen Nuo's gaze retracted, his tone softened slightly, and he said, "Of course, I believe that you are all good men, and you would rather die on the battlefield than choose to live in steal!" So, now we are left with only one way forward......"
His eyes suddenly became fierce, the knife in his hand pointed out of the city, and he gritted his teeth and popped out the word "kill" for a long time!
As soon as this killing word came out, it really awakened the consciousness of those people. Yes, if he sits and waits for death, why not go out of the city to fight with the thieves, even if it is, it is also a horse leather shroud, and he will die without regrets!
All the generals thought about this, one shouted to kill, and everyone behind them all shouted, and the momentum suddenly became stronger.
Chen Nuo glanced at the soldiers, and also knew that the emotions of the soldiers had been mobilized by him, and he could rest assured that he would throw them to death.
Even Zhao Xue was really thrilling to listen to Chen Nuo for a long time, and in the end, she finally understood. Chen Nuo opened his words and said that he wanted to let each of them understand the current situation, and he wanted to use this opportunity to mobilize the emotions of all the soldiers, wanting to 'throw everyone to death and then live'!
Pan Zhang was the first to jump out and shouted: "The general is right, now we have no rescue outside, no food and grass inside, and the thieves surround us and do not leave, if we want to live, we can only turn our lives around by fighting to the death!" Besides, as long as we drive the thieves away, won't all their food and grass be our own? At that time, let alone save your life, even if you eat and drink, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Guys, do you think that's the truth? ”
His sentence is really mobilizing, and now that the result of the fight can not only save his life but also eat and drink, who can not be tempted? It strengthened their determination to kill the enemy to the death.
Dian Wei next to him saw that Pan Zhang had said all these beautiful words, and he was not willing to be left behind, patting his chest and shouting: "It's all at this time, either the thief dies or I die, what else is there to say!" Fuck it, those who are not afraid of death will take the lead with me Dian Wei! ”
Dian Wei was tall, and he jumped up and down when he spoke, and he was really like a tiger coming out of the mountain, falling in the middle of the soldiers, and suddenly exploded.
He is strong, burly, and one of the best men in the army who is not afraid of death, and he even pulled out a halberd, looking like an evil god descending from the sky, which really caused a sensation. Those who originally had a trace of concern, in Dian Wei's troubles, also relaxed their hearts, followed by shouting, drawing swords and raising spears, and their morale suddenly rose.
Chen Nuo also knew that it was okay, no need to talk nonsense.
He grabbed the knife, returned to the handsome case, pulled out the arrow, and glanced at everyone: "This pioneer ......"
Before Chen Nuo finished speaking, Pan Zhang and Dian Wei scrambled to grab it. But as soon as Chen Nuo handed it to Zhao Xue, he nodded with her. Zhao Xue seemed to have made an appointment with Chen Nuo, and she was not surprised, so she stretched out her hand and took it.
Chen Nuo was still a little uneasy, and asked again, "Are you all ready?" ”
"General rest assured!"
Zhao Xue took the arrow and immediately went down to prepare.
Pan Zhang and Dian Wei were both staring at each other, but seeing that Chen Nuo pulled out the second order arrow, they couldn't fall this time, and they all stepped forward, hating to snatch it from Chen Nuo's hand.
Chen Nuo glanced at the two of them and said, "The vanguard has already given Zhao Xue, this second formation, you need cavalry to rush and kill, Pan Zhang took the order!" ”
Pan Zhang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward, only to listen to Chen Nuo's explanation: "Order you to lead three hundred light cavalry as the deputy vanguard, and cooperate with Zhao Xuechong to kill the enemy formation, is it difficult?" ”
"General rest assured!"
Pan Zhang hurriedly raised his hands, took the arrow, and hurriedly went down to prepare.
Na Dian Wei's eyes widened, and he waited for a long time, but saw Chen Nuo sit down and didn't speak again. Na Dian Wei was also in a hurry, so he hurried forward, and after a long time, he saw that Chen Nuo had been buried in the handsome case, but it was difficult to speak.
Chen Nuo actually saw it, and when he saw his panicked appearance, he felt funny. He put the bamboo slip on the handsome case, raised his eyes to look at Dian Wei, and said: "You don't need to worry, you will rush to kill the third formation with me later, but don't be frizzy anymore, this third formation is the finale, don't be sloppy at all, understand?" You go down and get ready! ”
Although the first battle was not fished, he could protect the lord and kill the enemy together, and Dian Wei was also willing.
When Dian Wei and the others retreated one after another, Chen Nuo picked up the bamboo slips again, wanting to calm down and read for a while, but where was he in the mood to read anymore? He put down the bamboo slips, and rushed to the east gate with a few personal soldiers to personally supervise the battle for Zhao Xue.
Although the yellow scarves are surrounded on all sides, the east gate has the most yellow scarves, and the so-called snake is seven inches, as long as Chen Nuo tries his best to kill the yellow scarves outside the east gate, then the rest of the gates will be self-defeating.
Today is Lap Day, and the city celebrates with cow wine, not to mention the yellow scarves outside the city.
Although this group of yellow scarves from Qingzhou is known as a million people, most of them are dragged with their families, women, children, old and young, and the real combat effectiveness is only one-tenth, or even less. People like them come out to mix, in fact, they are forced to be helpless, they are not good at fighting, but they attach great importance to festivals or something.
Even though they were on the battlefield, they did not forget about it, and even when they were at home, they had saved up the things they needed to eat and drink in order to wait for the day to come. Not to mention, although they are wandering in other places, most of them can still be together with their families, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
On the day of the day, the big and small commanders in the yellow scarves were also well-connected, rewarded cattle wine, and celebrated the festival with the yellow turbans. When they were happy, they seemed to have completely forgotten where they were at the moment, and they didn't have any worries about him.
They only knew that they were going to celebrate the festival, and the officials and soldiers in the city were also going to celebrate the festival. The war has to be fought, but the festival is only once a year, but it is indispensable.
Because of this idea, the yellow scarf is relieved to let the whole camp rejoice. I drank it until the evening, and when night fell, it gradually dispersed.
The yellow scarf is dormant, but it is the best time for Chen Nuo to appear.
The document taken from Guo Jia in Yecheng said well: The day is coming, from the Son of Heaven to the common people, all of them are celebrated. This is human nature, but in extraordinary times, it can be of extraordinary use. Just like Xiuxian at this moment, with Chen Nuo's situation, it is the best period to turn defeat into victory.
It is precisely because Chen Nuo understood Guo Jia's words that he took advantage of the golden opportunity of 'La Ri' to prepare to give the yellow scarf the last head-on blow.
It was late at night, and there was no one in the Yellow Turban Army camp, and they all basically fell asleep with a heavy sense of wine.
They slept, but on the tower of the east gate of Xiu County, Chen Nuo did not have a trace of sleepiness, and still stood against the wind.
Seeing that it was almost over, at his behest, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate suddenly opened.
Zhao Xue and the two hundred dead soldiers behind him, each holding a torch, drove out the black and crushed herd.
These cattle were specially purchased by Chen Nuo for Zhao Xue to be purchased by the residents of the city earlier, although they were collected temporarily, there were also thirty or fifty heads. They drove the cattle to the city, each with a tail and a torch in his hand.
The ox's tail had already been poured with grease and other things that ignited the fire, and under Zhao Xue's order, the torch was lightly touched, and the ox's tail immediately burned.
As soon as the ox's tail was hit, it suffered severe pain, and it rushed forward desperately and rushed towards the enemy camp.
In the enemy camp, those Yellow Turban disciples guarding the gate had drunk some wine before, and they were dizzy at the moment, how many of them were sober? They were blown by the cold wind of this winter day, and they were already drowsy and sleepy, and even if there was movement in the city, they could not see clearly. Even if there are one or two, it will not help, and it will be too late to find out.
The number of these cattle was already quite large, and they suffered severe pain, and this run was really terrifying, like a landslide, which had already awakened the Yellow Turban disciples who were guarding the camp, and they thought that they were moving, and they were all frightened and panicked.
In the dark night, in fact, they didn't see anything clearly, they could only hear the terrifying sound of landslides sweeping towards their camp, but they didn't know what to do.
At this moment, in addition to panic, they actually stared at the scene with wide eyes for a while, and stood on the spot.
When I got closer, I seemed to see that it was a herd of cattle, but it seemed that there were tigers, leopards, bears and other things. Damn, it's a herd! It's just that these cows have some oil paint on their bodies, so that whether it is a herd of cattle or a herd of animals, they are also dazzled by their eyes, where can they tell clearly?
There was no time for them to think, this group of monsters was covered with fire behind them, and the landslides and tsunamis were coming, appearing like ghosts, which had already scared their courage. And once those cattle rushed in, they immediately broke the door and kicked the camp, as if they were in a no-man's land, and in a moment they kicked several large camps, where could they stop it?
And for those who couldn't escape, they were either trampled under the hooves of the ox, or they were cut off by the double-headed knife tied between the horns of the bull's head, which was really enough to make the yellow turbans tremble before they could fight. In just an instant, the Yellow Turban Camp became like purgatory, burning the camp, the cattle were running wildly, and the shouts of killing were forced from behind, where was the previous quiet?
At the head of the East Gate, the war drums rumbled and followed!
