Chapter 64: Turning to Yingchuan
The west wind is fierce, and the horses are howling. On the bank of the Yingshui River, a blood-colored flag is flying in the cold wind.
"Big Boss, Diao Chan farewell."
Diao Chan smiled at Ma Yue, revealing two rows of jade teeth like shells, which looked very eye-catching, at this time she had recovered her dirty beggar costume and was saying goodbye to Ma Yue.
Ma Yue nodded and said in a deep voice, "Take care, girl." ”
"After the little woman returned to Luoyang, there was news in the court, and people immediately came to report it to the big chief."
Diao Chan gave Ma Yue one last glance and turned to leave.
Guan Hai licked his dry lips and said to the horse: "Boqi, really let her go?" Although this scar-faced girl doesn't look good, her fine skin and tender flesh are really attractive, why don't you reward me with happiness? Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Ma Yue glanced at Guan Hai coldly, and said coldly: "One more nonsense, and I will let someone give you that word!" ”
Guan Hai was startled, and hurriedly fled with the crotch tribe.
"Guan Hai, this guy~~" Pei Yuanshao shook his head and said to Ma Yue, "Bo Qi, did you really leave Nanyang like this?" Do you think about it again, after all, we have been fighting in Nanyang, and we are familiar with the terrain and Han army in Nanyang, but we don't know anything about Yingchuan. ”
Ma Yue glanced back at Nanyang, and said gloomily: "Yuan Shu has the help of masters, Nanyang no longer has the way to live for our eight hundred liukou, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?" ”
Pei Yuanshao frowned and said unconvinced: "Just those few beacon fires?" ”
Ma Yue's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate those few beacon fires, if the eight hundred Liukou continue to stay in Nanyang, one day they will be defeated under these small beacon fires!" ”
Pei Yuanshao was startled, and lost his voice: "Is it really so powerful!?" ”
Ma Yue nodded gaze and said in a deep voice: "Although the cavalry moves quickly, it is far more limited by the terrain than the infantry. If the cavalry wants to go back and forth, it is bound to pass through the mountain passes, river crossings, and these beacon towers are precisely built in these key places, with these beacon fires as a signal, our army's every move is difficult to escape the Han army's surveillance, no matter how our army moves, the Han army can make arrangements in advance. ”
Pei Yuanshao said depressedly: "No wonder I have been wandering in Nanyang for more than ten years, but I have never captured a city, it turns out that the Han army has been prepared in advance, hateful!" I knew I should have led someone to pull out these damn beacons. ”
Ma Yue said coldly: "That's useless, if you pull it out today, the Han army can repair it again tomorrow, it's just a pile of dry firewood, and it won't take much time at all." ”
Pei Yuanshao thought about it, suddenly thought of something, and said in horror: "Bo Qi, will Yuan Shu's thief lead the army to chase after him and build beacon towers all over Yingchuan?" That's a big deal. ”
"Don't worry about it." Ma Yue said coldly, "Yingchuan has many plains, thousands of miles of communication, and the cavalry can go back and forth without any barrier, even if the Han army builds beacon towers on the plains, it is still useless." If Yuan Shu doesn't come, if he dares to chase him, I will teach him not to come back, hum. ”
While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of them, Pei Yuanshao put his hand on the canopy and looked ahead for a moment, and said happily: "Boqi, it's Zhou Cang's guy who came back and brought someone here." ”
In just a moment, Zhou Cang and the man were already running forward, and the two of them turned over and dismounted one after another, bowing down in front of Ma Yue.
"Big leader, Deng Mao came to meet him."
Zhou Cang's voice fell, and the man next to him had already taken a step forward, and said loudly: "The villain Deng Mao, who has admired the prestige of the big leader for a long time, is willing to be like-minded!" ”
"Deng Mao?"
Ma Yue's heart moved, this name seemed to be somewhat familiar.
Zhou Cang said: "Deng Mao and a fellow villager, originally Yingchuan Governor Bocai general, after the defeat, led the headquarters of the army in front of the Qingdang Mountain to fall into the grass, a certain on the way back to bump, is so attracted to the like-minded. ”
Deng Mao said again: "There are 600 elite soldiers in the villain's village, and they are willing to follow the command of the big leader. And there are Liao Hua and Peng Tuo in the nearby mountains, each with hundreds of soldiers, and the villain can be said to be one of them and come to vote. ”
……
Outside the city of Luyang, Yuan Shuzhong's army camp.
After hearing the return of Tanma, Kuai Yue happily said to Yuan Shu: "General, the eight hundred Liukou have already avoided Yingchuan, and Nanyang is settled. ”
Yuan Shuxin said, and said continuously: "Okay! Good! Very good! Nanyang has to be determined, and the heterogeneity should be the first merit, and the technique should immediately play the Son of Heaven, with the merit of the heterogeneity. ”
Kuai Yue said: "I'm ashamed, although the eight hundred Liukou left, it was not the work of Yue, but Ma Yue took the initiative to avoid it." ”
Yuan Shu said: "There is no need to be humble, if it is not for the king's beacon plan, it will be difficult to chase eight hundred liukou." ”
Jin Shang's eyes on the side showed a look of jealousy, and he coughed and said to Yuan Shu: "General, although the threat of the thief has not been eliminated today, if the grass is cut but not the root is removed, I am afraid that the thief will go and return, it will be a disaster." For today's plan, a general can be ordered to lead thousands of divisions to enter Ying and Yingchuan Army to attack it, so as to destroy 800 Liukou in Yingchuan County, so as to prevent future troubles. ”
Kuai Yue retorted: "General, now Nanyang is determined, the people's hearts are not stable, and you can't rashly raise troops abroad. The most urgent task at the moment is to dispatch troops to guard the passes everywhere, block the retreat of the Liukou, and make a list to reassure the people, clean up public order, order the counties and townships to rectify their armaments, recruit more volunteers, train diligently, and for several months, even if 800 Liukou go and return, they will only surrender to their own death. ”
Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, and said to Jin Shang: "Yuan Xiu's words are very much in line with my wishes, and I should lead the teacher to recruit him personally." ”
Kuai Yue sighed faintly when he heard this.
Jin Shang was overjoyed and said: "The general is wise. ”
……
The last fortress of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Guangzong City.
The black clouds are overwhelming, the world is gray, Zhang Jiao stands on the top of the city tower, looking at the south with his eyes, behind Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang stands solemnly according to his sword, his eyebrows are gloomy.
"Karala~"
A dazzling lightning suddenly pierced the sky, illuminating the empty wilderness, Zhang Jiao's eyebrows jumped slightly, and by the light of the lightning, he clearly saw a huge cloud, which was slowly approaching Guangzong City from the wilderness, but it was not a dark cloud in the sky, but a dark cloud composed of countless Han army iron armor.
A drop of cold rain fell from the sky, quietly dripping on Zhang Jiao's face, the cold texture from his cheeks to his heart and lungs, the final decisive battle - is it finally about to begin?
"Woo~~~"
The sound of the bull's horn suddenly sounded between the heavens and the earth, and Zhang Jiao could even feel the city wall under his feet trembling slightly, and another lightning bolt slashed down, and the iron armor of the forest was approaching Guangzong City again.
"Knock knock~~"
Immediately after the sound of the horn, the fierce drums resounded in the sky.
Under the dark sky, in the loud horn sound, in the passionate war drums, thousands of Han soldiers lined up into a neat phalanx, shouting loud trumpets, stepping on neat steps surging forward, the blood has been boiling, the primitive beast surname is surging in the hearts of the soldiers, "roar~~"
"Roar~~"
"Roar~~"
After the infantry phalanx, under the dark sky, more than a dozen towering black towers suddenly appeared, hundreds of Han troops gathered around the black tower like ants, and ropes hung down from the black tower, tightly strangled on the shoulders of the Han soldiers, and deeply strangled into their muscles. In the sound of the neat trumpets of the Han army's soldiers, these dozen towering black towers moved forward, although slowly, but unstoppably approaching Guangzong City.
"Woo~~~"
The strange and long horn sound of bullhorns rose on the left and right sides of the Han infantry phalanx at the same time, and by the afterglow of lightning in the distant sky, two huge cavalry crushed from both sides of the Han infantry formation like giant pincers, and countless sharp spears converged into a dead forest, almost piercing the gloomy sky.
The wind is like a knife, the flag is fluttering, and the Han Zuo Zhonglang general Zhu Jun appeared in the main formation of the Chinese army under the protection of a large group of generals, his dark eyes staring coldly at the dark outline of Guangzong City under the sky dome, and his handsome face was already full of Xiao Su's murderous intent.
Zhu Jun raised his right arm suddenly, the loud horn and the agitated war drums stopped abruptly, and the neat trumpets of the Han soldiers also disappeared suddenly, and there was a strange silence in the sky, only in the distance, the rumbling thunder faintly came, and the entire battlefield was slaughtered.
The icy killing machine spread endlessly between heaven and earth, and the Han army that had entered the attack position was like a huge demonic beast, opening its bloody mouth, revealing its bloody fangs...... Upstairs in Guangzong City, the muscles on Zhang Jiao's face quietly twitched twice.
"Keng~~"
In the piercing sound of gold and iron grinding, Zhang Jiao slowly drew out the sword, and gradually raised it above the top, just a dazzling lightning bolt fell, reflected on Zhang Jiao's sharp sword, and suddenly a dazzling silver glow, in an instant, Zhang Jiao's poignant and desolate voice resounded through the city tower.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious~~~~ Believers of great sages and good teachers, summon your courage, burn your blood, wrap up your armor, take up arms, and go up to the city tower, the moment of decisive battle has come, and our determination shines with lightning~~~"
"Banzai~~"
Zhang Liang took the lead in raising his arms and cheering.
"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray~~~"
Countless Yellow Turban believers responded frantically, and then poured into the city like ants, shouting feverishly, waving their weapons wildly, and venting their enthusiasm.
In the Han army's main formation, Zhu Jun's right arm was gently waved down, and the mournful screams of the heralds resounded throughout the whole army in an instant.
"Thunderbolt~~~ put!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
In the midst of a dozen piercing sounds, the dozen or so towering black towers shook violently, and long arms swung across the air, throwing boulders into the air with long iron cables.
Kara~~
Another bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the Yellow Turban believers who were shouting frantically could clearly see that more than a dozen black dots flashed from the sky in front of them, and rapidly expanded, pressing down viciously towards the head of Guangzong City
