Chapter 204: The Enemy Who Lost Courage
Looking at Guan Hai with a depressed face, Zhang Rao frowned. Floating Sky (p&nbs138 read the book bsp;.)
Since he was captured and released, this fierce general, who was once famous in Qingzhou and had a terrible reputation for crying at night, has become this half-dead appearance, which makes people feel uneasy at first glance.
But Zhang Rao couldn't do without him, because he had no one else available.
The Han Dynasty did not prohibit martial arts, and the folk martial arts were extremely prosperous, especially in Shandong, a place where the people have been fierce since ancient times, and it was easy to form an army; War horses, bows and arrows, spears, even crossbows, as long as you have money, you can get them.
Pull a few random people, and you can form an army to come out.
However, only if there is money.
The so-called poor and rich martial arts, ordinary people, it is good to be able to eat all year round, and it is simply a fantasy to want to support a full-time martial artist. In particular, the two skills of riding and archery are even more unattainable.
Needless to say, the cost of raising war horses, the cost of practicing bows and arrows is not a few, and feather arrows and good bows are very expensive. The hunting bows used by the hunters are homemade and relatively cheap, but the lethality cannot be compared with the real standard angular bow.
In the Yellow Turban Army, most of them are ordinary people who can't eat, and those who know a few fists and feet and weapons are already considered strong in martial arts; There are very few who are proficient in these two skills; As for the family martial arts, there are only a few of them in Qingzhou several times.
The children of the poor family can't be compared with the heroes of the family, but even in troubled times, it is still easy for people like them to find food to eat, and the heroes of the family are recruiting, who will be willing to degenerate and join the yellow scarf as a thief?
Therefore, such a fierce general as Guan Hai is a rare existence in the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Rao wants to form a cavalry, and wants to grasp the authority in his own hands, so he can only pinch his nose to find Guan Hai.
"I've seen the big handsome." Guan Hai hugged his fists and saluted, and then like a stake, the pestle stopped squeaking.
Zhang Rao's heart became more and more annoyed, if it weren't for this period of experience, he would definitely not be able to remain silent, but now, he could even put a smile on his face.
"Brother Guan, after you came back, Ben Shuai has been busy with military affairs, and he has no time to visit and condole, I am really ashamed, and I hope that Brother Guan will not go to his heart."
"The marshal is polite, the general of the defeated army is not brave, and he is already grateful to be taken in by the marshal, how can there be any complaints?" Guan Hai's answer was very decent, and Zhang Rao even felt a hint of familiarity from the other party, which was similar to Xu You's taste.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Rao heard that when Chu and Han competed for power, Gaozu has always been at a disadvantage, and he was chased by the overlord Xiang Yu several times and had no way to enter the ground, but in the end, it was not in the next battle to turn the tables? If you think about it carefully, this allusion is similar to the situation we are facing now, Wang Yu is also known as the little overlord, and since Duchang, he has been taking advantage of us......"
Guan Hai finally raised his head, looking at Zhang Rao's eyes, there was obviously a wave of surprise, obviously, he didn't expect Zhang Rao to be able to cite such a ...... Well, that's a good example.
Seeing this, Zhang Rao became more and more proud, he shook his spirits and continued: "It's nothing to let him take advantage of it now, the brothers are assembled in too haste, of course, they can't compare to his elite in a hundred battles, plus they don't watch out, it doesn't matter, the general trend is in our hands, and when we advance to Fenggao City, it will also be an ambush on all sides, let him have the courage of an overlord, and he will only end up with hatred!" ”
This allusion is when Xu Yu first met Zhang Rao, he told him, Zhang Rao was very excited at the time, through this allusion, he saw a better future, and at the same time attracted the other party to his heart.
Now, Xu You is gone, but he has also matured, and he can express his confidence and insight by changing the same allusion slightly and telling it to others; It is also a metaphor for the bright prospects of the battle situation, which is used to encourage the other side; In the end, it can also leave a foreshadowing for the subsequent solicitation, what a perfect performance!
This is the so-called overlord spirit, right?
After being self-absorbed for a moment, Zhang Rao asked in a deep voice with full expectations: "Brother Guan, don't you think so?" ”
At the same time as he asked a sentence, he was ready to ask the next question, as long as the other party expressed the excitement in his heart, he could encourage the other party, and then lead him to a confidant.
However, it backfired, and Guan Hai shook his head noncommittally, and said angrily: "It's hard to say." ”
What? It's hard to say?
Zhang Rao was choked to death in one breath, did he not behave perfectly enough? Otherwise, why doesn't this rough billet follow the routine?
"Brother Guan, what do you mean?" Suppressing his anger, he asked.
Guan Hai ignored Zhang Rao's getting worse and worse face, and analyzed himself: "I think that Wang Pengju is not so easy to deal with, he is now delaying our trip, he must be planning something, before figuring out what he is planning, let's just run headlong like this, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Surprise attack? This was already expected by Ben Shuai. ”
Zhang Rao sneered: "You should have seen it along the way, although the army is numerous, but the camping of this commander is in accordance with the art of war!" Needless to say, the defense of the periphery, the commander in the battalion also learned the lesson of Duchang, separated the elite from the ordinary young and strong, and left the old and weak in Laiwu, and the march was also a big road...... What are the loopholes in this way? ”
"I don't know."
Guan Hai shook his head, his tone refused to relax, "Wang Pengju is full of tricks, don't say so, even if he is a famous general like Xu Gongqing, he is not paying attention to his way, what strategy does he have, how can he know?" I just saw some signs from the actions of the Taishan army. ”
"Signs...... Hum! Zhang Rao laughed angrily, forcibly suppressed the urge to satirize the other party's experience of being captured, and asked: "According to the opinion of the brothers, what should our army do?" ”
"Go back to Qingzhou." Guan Hai replied without thinking.
"Ha, give up halfway, waiting for Wang Pengju to beat us?" The ridicule in Zhang Rao's eyes became even stronger.
"Of course it's not just going back, before leaving, let's take Laiwu down first, cut off Wang Peng's arm, and rely on Laiwu to build a line of defense, so that Wang Pengju can't easily cross the border!" Guan Hai heard Zhang Rao's displeasure, but he still insisted on finishing his words.
"And then? Starved to death in Qingzhou? ”
"No, we have a lot of momentum now, and we can knock down those counties and counties that we couldn't gnaw on before!"
Guan Hai's tone finally brought a hint of eagerness: "The officials in Qingzhou are almost the same as Kong Rong, they can only talk about it, let's even beat Linzi, and then capture Laiwu, can they not be afraid?" Wouldn't it be easy to lay down these counties and divide Qingzhou? It doesn't matter if Wang Pengju really breaks through the defense line, let's hide in the mountains, I don't believe he can kill them one by one! ”
"You're afraid of the enemy!"
Zhang Rao couldn't hold it anymore, slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Guan Hai and shouted: "You yourself are frightened, do you think that others are the same?" If you can't beat it, go up the mountain? Do you think Ben Shuai is a bandit? Ben Shuai is Qingzhou generous, commanding an army of millions, crushing the past with a dignified momentum, and no one in the whole world can resist it! ”
Speaking of the back, his demeanor has already taken on a bit of madness. Guan Hai sighed in his heart, stopped speaking to stimulate the other party, and returned to his half-dead appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
"Brother Guan, why don't you understand? Wang Pengju has a strange plan, but we are not bad? ”
Zhang Rao calmed down, and said earnestly: "Now Duchang is different at that time, we have some equipment, and there are little heavenly masters to support us!" Look at these days, so many brothers have been injured, this cold winter, in the past, it would be good to survive half of them, but now? There was a little heavenly master who made a move, and in addition to those who died on the spot, there were only three deaths in total! ”
Guan Hai drooped his head and responded: "Well, the last general will obey the orders of the marshal." Listening to his tone, you can know that he didn't listen to Zhang Rao's words in his heart at all.
"That's it." Zhang Rao was annoyed for a while, and finally gave up the way of the monarch and minister, and directly ordered: "The war horses of all departments will soon be gathered, you pick some people, organize a cavalry out, and drive the Taishan cavalry away, so that the army can speed up." ”
"Whoa." Guan Hai promised, thought about it, and asked, "Is it okay to drive away?" ”
Zhang Rao waved his hand impatiently: "Of course you have to destroy them, no, you have to destroy them!" ”
"The enemy may ......" Guan Hai wanted to give some more hints, but seeing Zhang Rao's expression, he didn't dare to touch his head. People are under the roof, and they always come with the boss, and sooner or later they will be unlucky.
Since the other party doesn't listen to him, it's better to find a way out early, Wang Pengju must have some strange tricks, he has already smelled the smell!
Guan Hai left, Zhang Rao was still angry, gasped for a while, and he raised his voice: "Stone! ”
"Dashuai!" A personal soldier behind him bowed down to answer the order.
"You go with him, look at this coward, don't let him lead the team." Zhang Rao sneered.
He decided to use Guan Hai to train soldiers first, and after conquering Fenggao, he would use this coward to kill chickens and monkeys! Can't beat Wang Pengju with his million-strong army? Bah! Even Mr. Ziyuan said that he would win, how could there be a problem?
Now that the morale of the army is high, no matter what tricks he has, he can't shake himself at all!
……
"Woo...... Whining! ”
At the sound of the horn, Guan Hai took the lead, quickly killed from the formation, and pounced on a team of Taishan light horsemen who came to harass.
The other party seemed surprised, but reacted quickly, and while quickly loosening the bowstring that had been full, it was flying far away like the wind.
In this way, the Yellow Turban Army suffered a lot, although they were also riding on war horses, but the other side was retreating and shooting back, from a distance, Guan Hai's cavalry seemed to deliberately come to the tip of the opponent's arrow.
Similar experience, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that day was also tasted, Guan Hai had also seen it in Duchang, and he had already been mentally prepared, but the newly formed cavalry under his command was not as calm as him.
He roared angrily: "Speed up, speed up, don't hide to the side, don't fight back, stick up, entangle them, and exchange lives for lives!" ”
He knew that the horses of the cavalry under his command were not as good as the other party's, and the horsemanship and archery skills were incomparable, and the equipment was also a lot behind, and the only thing he could rely on was the numerical advantage. In addition, due to the lack of armor, the horse's weight is smaller, and in short distances, the sprinting power will be superior.
Under Guan Hai's roar, the Yellow Turban cavalry began to accelerate, and the Taishan cavalry realized the enemy's intentions, gave up the task of continuing to harass, and accelerated to flee into the distance.
Guan Hai estimated the distance, and then slowly raised his hand, ready to order the troops to be withdrawn.
There is no need to chase it any further, he has seen Bai Ma Yi's ability to gather and disperse straightforwardly. The thousands of cavalry of the Yellow Turbans were scattered all over the queue, and there were only more than 300 horsemen under him, and once he was ambushed, the consequences would be quite disastrous.
"Rush, keep rushing, their horses have been running for a long time, we are a new force, kill them, and avenge the brothers who have been killed and injured these days!" A loud shout stopped Guan Hai, and Zhang Rao's personal soldier called Shi brandished his war knife with red eyes, urging the horse to cross Guan Hai and rush to the front.
"Don't chase!" Guan Hai was shocked.
"Revenge, kill!" The Yellow Turban cavalry was greatly boosted and chased after them with a roar, and no one was willing to look back at Shang Guan Hai.
Under the leadership of the Little Heavenly Master, the Yellow Turban soldiers are invincible!
Guan Hai admitted that if his brothers also had this kind of morale when he was in Duchang, maybe he wouldn't have lost that battle. But the problem is that while the Yellow Turban is different, the enemy it faces is also different, after entering Mount Tai, it was Wang Pengju who commanded the Battle of Mount Tai, not the messenger who made up the numbers temporarily!
The temporary numbers are so strong, how terrible will Wang Pengju himself be?
Guan Hai didn't have a clear concept yet, but he still restrained the war horse. Amid the neighing of the warhorse, he vaguely heard the faint sound of strings coming from ahead.
He shuddered, that's right, the Tarzan cavalry not only gathered freely, but also had strong crossbows......
Before a thought was finished, he had already skillfully turned the horse's head, and the riding skills he had trained when he was young were firmly remembered by his body, and he could save his life at a critical moment.
Behind him, people screamed, and the sound of horses neighing suddenly sounded, one after another. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to 138 to read books and register members to recommend this work, your support is my biggest motivation. )
