vs 21 The Second Handsome Mind Equalizes [I]

After gaining an in-depth understanding of the details of these volunteers, Dong Zhuo would never dare to send these guys to a large-scale battlefield.

There is no other reason, just because the volunteers are all coming for the goods and heads of the Yellow Turban Army. If it is a small-scale fight, these guys are willing to fight for the official position money offered by the Han family. However, when it comes to a big battle, except for a few volunteers, most of the other volunteers are usually the group that collapses the fastest on the battlefield.

After all, the volunteers are here to seek wealth and officials, not to work hard. If there is no direct benefit, they are not willing to be used as cannon fodder by others. A very intuitive number can illustrate the gap between the real Han army and the powerful private soldiers and volunteers.

In previous battles, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry under Dong Zhuo had about 20% of the casualties, and only then did the phenomenon of morale collapse. Although he was not too familiar with the shooting battalion and the infantry battalion, Dong Zhuo estimated that they should also endure about six to eight percent of casualties.

In order to defend their homeland, the powerful private soldiers can generally reach about one or five casualties before they collapse. However, in view of the weapons and equipment of these temporarily organized private soldiers, Dong Zhuo did not think that they could be of great use. Most of the time, except for the private soldiers commanded by a few powerful and powerful people, the other private soldiers were mostly used as baggage soldiers, or people.

However, those volunteers who came to seek wealth and official titles could not tolerate more than 10% of the casualties. If your team's chances of victory are not more than 70%, the scheming Volunteers will usually not want to fight!

Therefore, in this battle, Dong Zhuo only planned to mobilize a few stronger volunteers to act as guerrillas and harassment of the Yellow Turban Army. The powerful private soldiers, half of them guard the camp, and half of them wave their flags and shout in the rear, just cheering.

As for the main force of this battle, it has to rely on the genuine Han army!

“…… The infantry battalion is the first formation, the Jizhou army is the left wing, the Liangzhou army is the right wing, and the shooting battalion is the answering ......

This was an engagement arrangement for the main forces of the Han army.

…… The order was issued that Gongsun Zhan's department was a guerrilla in front of the army. Tian Feng's department is the rear army supervision team. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Ran are the reserve [that is, the reserve]. ……”

This is an arrangement for the volunteers and the powerful private soldiers.

ps: Tian Feng was once requisitioned by the Taiwei Mansion, raised Maocai, and moved to serve the imperial history. Because he was dissatisfied with the eunuch's dictatorship, he abandoned the official and returned home, and at this time he should be a strong man in Jizhou.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Ran are also known as Hebei, plus Zhang He, and they are collectively known as "Hebei Four Court Pillars". In the text, they appear for the first time as Haoqiang.

Dong Zhuo's order is simple and clear, just to assign the basic tasks of each subordinate, and will not interfere in the specific implementation process in every detail. As long as the requirements laid out by Dong Zhuo are met, he will not care if you are coercive or enticed!

Therefore, this military discussion did not last long. Of course, in the face of those military lieutenant generals and colonels with deep backgrounds, Dong Zhuo can't really make a statement. Therefore, when most of the generals asked for a more relaxed time to prepare for war, Dong Zhuo also agreed with kindness.

When the military council was dispersed, a soldier from an infantry battalion walked out of the tent with everyone and hurried back to his small tent. He turned out a delicately burned piece of charcoal, wrote a few words on a small piece of silk cloth, and hurried out of the tent. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people around, the military marquis quickly stuffed the rolled up silk cloth into a ball and quietly stuffed it to an inconspicuous military horseman.

The groom tucked the silk cloth in his arms and returned to his workplace, the stable, as if nothing had happened. He lifted a bucket of water and began to scrub the ten horses in the stable. Then, without anyone noticing, the horse's belly carefully tucked the wrapped silk cloth under the saddle of a maroon warhorse.

After a while, a group of scouts came in a hurry, and one of them led a war horse and walked towards the camp gate. A scout with two mustaches habitually put his hand in the saddle and tidied it up. The war horse is the half-life of the scout, and the saddle is the most important equipment of the war horse. For scouts to set out on a scout mission, all the details must be noted.

The mustache scout's fingers touched the smooth silk cloth, and he shook unnoticed. Then, the mustache immediately returned to normal and began to perform the scout's daily tasks.

As soon as they left the barracks, the scouts were divided into two groups of five people each, who were divided into reconnaissance activities. When passing by an abandoned house two miles away from Guangzong City, the mustache, which had always behaved normally, suddenly covered his stomach and shouted:

"Ahh My stomach hurts, so I need to make it easier......"

So, to the jokes of the other scouts, the mustache rolled over and dismounted, put his hand under the saddle, and tucked the silk cloth into his bosom under the cover of taking out the toilet chip [which functioned like modern toilet paper].

Half an hour later, in addition to a stinking yellow and white thing, a secret was left in the remnants of this broken wall.

An hour later, a sneaky man who didn't know where to turn out, pinched his nose, and pulled out this information that had changed hands three or four times from under two adobe bricks that had been pried loose. Then, just as he came sneakily, the disappearance of this man was also as sneaky, and it was impossible to touch the edge at all.

After another half an hour, this sneaky man had already arrived at the corner of an inconspicuous wall under the city of Guangzong. As soon as the Yellow Turban guards above saw this person's arrival, they immediately quickly put down a basket and pulled this person to the city.

Then, a quarter of an hour later, the piece of silk cloth had been delivered to a Yellow Turban Army commander who was in charge of intelligence gathering. Xiao Shuai spread out the silk cloth and glanced at it, and immediately changed his face. He carefully put away the silk cloth, hurried through the two doors, entered a courtyard, and came to a secluded courtyard.

Although this small courtyard seems to be guarded by only two guards on the surface, Xiao Shuai really knows that this should be one of the three most heavily guarded courtyards in the entire Guangzong City.

If anyone is bold enough to infiltrate this courtyard, they must first avoid the fifteen hidden piles scattered outside the courtyard, and then avoid the six groups of ambushed guards inside the courtyard.

After avoiding these people, the test of the infiltrator is not yet complete. Because, there are four hunting dogs, which are placed in the corners of the courtyard. Once they spot the scent of a stranger, they bark in a low voice.

Even if the infiltrator tried to hide it from the hounds, it would not be considered to be a complete test. The problem he is about to face is brought about by a flock of geese.

The goose is a tall poultry that is kept in many farms. However, the geese kept in the courtyard here have become extremely alert sentinels after being trained by a Taiping Taoist with special techniques. As soon as an intruder is spotted, they "quack" and scream.

There are a lot of poultry and livestock that can bark. But the key thing is that dogs are good guards in people's perceptions. As for the goose...... Well, the meat is a bit coarse, but it's delicious.

Therefore, the biggest advantage of these geese as sentinels is that the intruders are defenseless against them.

Since Guangzong City became a battlefield for the confrontation between the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army four months ago, three infiltrators were discovered by the guards of the open and secret sentry; There were six infiltrators, and they were caught under the noses of the hounds; There was only one infiltrator who was discovered by these geese.

The infiltrator who was discovered by the goose was also the only one who was not captured by the ambushed guards.

After the sirens of the geese sounded, the tough infiltrator did not panic at all. He drew the sword from his back and strode out. Along the way, seventeen elite armorers, four "Five Elements", two swordsmen, and eight strong crossbows sniped at this person.

Then, the infiltrator with such superb martial arts skills as to terror killed all the way, invincible, and with a sword stab, one person would fall. From inside the courtyard to outside the courtyard walls, the man rushed a total of twenty-four steps, unleashed eighteen swords, and knocked down seven armorers, three five-element warriors, two swordsmen, six crossbowmen, and one servant, a total of nineteen people.

In the end, the man neatly turned over the wall and disappeared into Guangzong City.

PS: The Five Elements are Qimen spies who originated in the Han Dynasty. They have mastered a lot of strange Five Elements Escape Techniques, and after performing them, they can effectively hide and escape from danger. Later, a branch of the Five Elements spread to Toei, and gradually evolved the famous term "ninja".
