Chapter 105: Tough Wen County Lieutenant
The two parties soon made a marriage letter, and it was scheduled that eight years later, that is, in 192 AD, if Fang Yun had not been destroyed, he would go on a blind date with the Zhen family daughter in Jizhou, and at least one of the Zhen family daughters would be selected as a flat wife to marry home.
Both parties were very satisfied with this agreement, and even Xie Yuan, who was witnessing this moment on the sidelines, was not unpleasant. Especially, when Fang Yun made it clear that he wanted to marry her, now Niu'er only had sweetness left in her heart at the moment.
Xie Ran felt a little pimple in his heart when he heard the news, but after thinking about it, forget it, in the final analysis, men......
The deal with Zhen Yi was delayed for half an hour, but this did not affect the departure of the army. As for Zhen Yi's trading goods, according to the agreement between the two parties, they will be sent to the Changshe. After all, these things need Zhen's time to collect, and they can't be delivered so easily and so quickly.
"Let's go!" Seeing that everything was ready, Fang Yun waved his hand, and the army began to set off amid the sound of military music.
On the way, Fang Yun called Le Ping over again to discuss the creation of new songs, after all, it is inevitable that you will get tired of singing after singing two songs for a long time. And the new song was aimed at by him in the war song "Never Say Never". This is an online war song, but it cannot be denied that the momentum is enough, it is easy to understand, and it sounds quite flavorful.
When this song is sung, it can be said that it completely subverted Leping's understanding of the song, but it brought him a new world.
Among the family, he likes music the most, and he wanted to go out to study and collect music scores from all over the world, but he didn't want to be caught by thieves in the cottage. was later rescued by Fang Yun and became the leader of the military band of the Yellow Turban Army, but he did not regret it.
On the contrary, after entering this place, he encountered a completely different style and lyrics from "Yuefu", and for a person who likes music, it is like being in heaven here, although he does not know what heaven is.
It is also a shame to say that since the large army was equipped with horses, the marching speed has been much slower. Without bilateral stirrups, it was not easy for the soldiers to learn to ride horses, and even if they could ride them, they could not accelerate in a short time, so that the speed of travel was even lower than normal.
However, it is not completely useless, at least the physical strength consumed by the soldiers has been reduced a lot. Now, even if there is a battle, they can quickly dismount and form a battle, and meet the battle with abundant physical strength, and it is impossible to say that the victory rate will increase by about two or three percent compared with before.
"My lord, this idea of mounted infantry is really a great innovation, the soldiers can quickly go to the battlefield and then dismount and form a formation, so that they can quickly seize the opportunity and make our army invincible! The subordinates are also strange, why didn't anyone think of it before? On the way, Dian Wei discussed with Fang Yun with a little excitement.
He is also from a military family, although he has declined, but he still has military qualities, and naturally understands that if this mounted infantry is well trained, he will inevitably play an unimaginable advantage on the battlefield in the future.
"Let's not talk about whether the Han has so many war horses, and besides, this horse also needs money, and it takes time for this soldier to learn to ride a horse. It's just that after a war, the infantry suffered the most casualties, so unless it's those rich people, they really can't play this thing. Fang Yun smiled, but he told the truth.
For those officers, the infantry is replaced casually, and can even be considered a 'disposable' product. If you die, you can make up for it, and you don't need to worry about the casualty rate or anything at all. Huaxia is originally a large number of people, so naturally there is no need to cherish the lives of soldiers too much.
On the contrary, the financial revenue is a short board, spending a lot of money for all worthless soldiers, obviously this is something that the imperial court cannot consider, so the setting of 'mounted infantry' in Huaxia can be said to be not recognized by the imperial court at all.
"Why, then, can our soldiers learn to ride so easily?" Dian Wei was puzzled.
Gai was thus engraved next to the large army, and Chen Tao had already begun to advance with his cavalry troops at a small acceleration. If you see this army formed with your own eyes, I am afraid that Dian Wei will not dare to believe that it only took two or three days for these cavalrymen to go from not touching war horses at all to initially learning to sit firmly on horses.
This Fang Yun naturally can't explain it, and there is no way to explain it. In the final analysis, all of this is due to Chen Tao's 'training' talent, and since Xie Ran became a new general, although his 'training' skills are not as good as Chen Tao's talent characteristics, they can also speed up the training speed of the soldiers.
Of course, there is no such thing as learning to ride a horse in a day, but compared to those soldiers who are still cautiously riding on horses, the people of the cavalry unit can already sit firmly on the back of their horses without running, and that's it.
Seeing that Fang Yun didn't take over the topic, Dian Wei didn't continue to ask, the two remained silent again and continued to hurry.
"Report, the front is Dingying County, and it will not be far north to enter the territory of Yingchuan County!" After a while, the scout routinely came over to report on the situation ahead.
There is no other report, which proves that there are no other enemies in front of them, and they can move normally.
"Send someone to Dingying County and tell them the county order, if you don't want to cause trouble, just open the door and surrender to me!" Fang Yun nodded, and then ordered.
The list given by Yuan Valve or something, it doesn't make much sense anymore, if you want to attack, you can attack, what's the matter with Yuan Valve? On the contrary, because of that list, what kind of family this Dingying has, and what kind of person the county order is, it is clear at a glance, so that Fang Yun wants to thank Yuan Feng for his generosity.
Zhao Yu, the county magistrate of Dingying County, is a cronie supported by Yuan Valve, and he was also a big landlord in Dingying County before, and he was able to become the county magistrate of Dingying County, not only because of Yuan Valve's promotion, but also because he himself spent money to buy the official seal of the county order. This kind of person is not a diehard, as long as the army presses up, it is almost certain that he will open the door and surrender.
In this way, it doesn't take a single soldier to build a county, and the main quest can be regarded as easily completed by one-third.
As Fang Yun expected, when the scouts came to Dingying County and shouted towards the city gate, the soldiers quickly reported the news of the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was frightened for the first time, according to the information he obtained, this Yellow Turban Army army was not advancing towards Ruyang, how could it pass through his Dingying County? In a hurry, I couldn't help but wonder, is this Yellow Turban Army fake?
"Lord County, I heard that there is a Yellow Turban Army that has split from the main force of the Yellow Turban Army and independently led the troops to take other routes. I heard that Shangcai County has been laid down, and according to the route, it is this army that wants to come to our Dingying County this time. "The county lieutenant is a man who is at the age of a weak crown, but just looking at his strong figure and full of majesty, it can be seen that he is not a good thing, and he should have some ability.
"Lieutenant Wen, do you know how many people there are in this army?" Zhao Yu asked cautiously.
"According to rumors, there are more than 10,000 people!" Lieutenant Wen thought about it for a while, and then replied.
"Dingying is just a small city, how can it withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people? No, I'm going to surrender! Didn't the scout say that as long as you surrender, you can avoid death! When Zhao Yu heard this, he was immediately scared.
"Lord Prefectural! If Dingying falls, even if we can avoid death in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, if the imperial court blames it, in the end, we will lose the city and land, it will only be a dead end! "Wen County Lieutenant is the main battle faction, and the most unhappy thing is this kind of guy who surrenders before the fight starts. Although he also knew that Zhao Yu's county order was bought with money, it was completely different from him, a county lieutenant who became a county lieutenant with actual ability.
"And what do you think we should do?" Zhao Yu immediately ran out of ideas. At this moment, he only felt that it was really a mistake to listen to Yuan Valve's instructions and buy the position of the county magistrate of Dingying County. It's a pity that he doesn't have a chance to regret it at all.
"Since taking office, he has mobilized manpower to rest the city wall of Dingying County, and at the same time hoarded a large number of equipment to defend the city. The most important thing is that you are a native of Dingying County, and you have enough contacts here to mobilize. At that time, every family will send some people to help defend the city, and it should be able to make the Yellow Turban Army retreat.
I heard that the Yellow Turban Army was just a rebellion of the people, and there was no weapon to take advantage of. The previous sieges were, in the final analysis, victories made with human lives. Now there are only more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops who have come to attack Dingying, as long as we stand in the city and resist desperately, we may not be able to let them retreat in the face of difficulties! With absolute confidence, Lieutenant Wen analyzed it for Zhao Yu.
"In this way, this Dingying County, and the county lieutenant will help a lot!" When Zhao Yu heard this, he was relieved a lot, thinking that he had no ability, so he could only pin his hopes on Lieutenant Wen.
The two briefly discussed the details, and after a while, the county lieutenant went out to arrange the deployment, but Zhao Yu immediately summoned those family lords in Dingying County to discuss the matter of borrowing people. Relying on his connections as a local snake, he borrowed more than 500 people to help defend the city, and later issued a document to recruit righteous people to defend the city in the county, and recruited 500 good people.
In this way, including the original more than 700 soldiers in Dingying County, there are already more than 1,700 people defending the city. Lieutenant Wen also knew that a thousand of them were useless, but now that the matter has come, he can only make do with it!
On the other hand, when he learned that the other party was actually guarding behind closed doors, Fang Yun was curious, when did this Zhao Yu have so much courage? According to the intelligence, this guy is not the type who will defend at all! He couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with this information at first, but after thinking about it, Yuan Valve didn't plan to attack Dingying County by himself, so what's the point of using false information to deceive himself? Or did they think in the first place that they would not obey their arrangement?!
In any case, it seems that the answer can only be known when you arrive outside Dingying County.
With the advance of the large army, it was about an hour, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, they came to Dingying County. Fang Yun had originally planned to enter the city to rest tonight, but looking at the closed city gate, he was afraid that it would not be easy......
And on the city wall, looking at this team of more than 20,000 people, Lieutenant Wen couldn't help but be startled, which was too far from the number he expected. And most importantly, when did the Yellow Turbans have so many horses at their disposal?
As a soldier, it is not difficult for him to see that many of the soldiers are actually infantrymen, and they have just begun to learn to ride horses. But the commander of the army was willing to give his horses to the infantry to ride, and he had obtained so many horses, which was beyond his expectations.
Immediately thought, this army has not laid down the horse farm of Pingyu? If not, where did so many horses come from!?
"General Wuna, I'll wait for the Huangtian soldiers to come here, and if you don't open the door to greet you, aren't you afraid of angering our army?" Fang Yun stepped forward, and the red tassel spear pointed at the defenders on the city wall and scolded.
"Hmph, as a citizen of the Han family, you don't want to serve the court, but commit rebellion, so you are not afraid that you will die on the day of defeat and have no place to be buried? I would like to advise you to repent and reform as soon as possible, surrender to the county lieutenant as soon as possible, and say that there is no way to live! Who wouldn't scold the array, Wen Ji was also not afraid to scold back......
