Chapter 152: First Confrontation
"Kill!"
In the western suburbs outside Pingxiang County, Guo Tai, who had been promoted to the rank of minor commander by Zhang Huang, led an army of 500 Taiping Dao believers to engage in a tentative battle with the 3,000 county troops under Guo Dian's command.
The reason why this is a tentative confrontation is because Guo Dian only sent a few hundred people to entangle with Guo Tai, and here, Zhang Huang, who personally led more than 2,000 Yellow Turban troops, also followed the promise he made to Guo Tai and personally plundered the battle for you without killing him. For both sides, it was just a tentative encounter.
"Who is that boy?"
When Zhang Huang was watching Guo Dian from afar, Guo Dian was actually looking at Zhang Huang, a young general who actually rode a horse and stood under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army.
After looking up left and right for a moment, they shook their heads with each other, after all, their understanding of the Yellow Turban Army was only limited to the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang of the Taiping Dao leadership, at best, plus Zhang Niujiao and other Zhang Jiao disciples who were very famous in Julu, but for other people, they didn't necessarily know each other, let alone Zhang Huang, a newcomer who had not joined the Yellow Turban Army for much time.
"Underestimated......"
After being slightly stunned, Guo Dian showed a little indifferent smile on his face, shook his head and said, "This time the rebellion went out of the city to face the battle, and the official thought that there would be the three brothers of the Zhang family, the head of the rebellion, but he didn't want to, so he sent a little hairy boy who had not dried up to supervise the battle......"
Seeing this, the left and right hurriedly echoed and said, "Zhang Wei is so arrogant, he deserves to be defeated!" β
Guo Dian didn't speak, just calmly examined the fight on the field.
I have to say that Guo Tai's bravery, the pioneer general Guo Tai, Zhang Huang's newly recruited team in the Yellow Turban Army, surprised Guo Tai a little, but it was not enough to thwart Qi Yi, the lieutenant of Rencheng County, with whom Guo Dian's members were fighting, and the two sides were just deadlocked.
Seeing the stalemate in the battle situation, Guo Dian's eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhang Huang under the handsome flag of the Yellow Turban, and he couldn't help but have a tempting idea in his heart.
"Add troops! β¦β¦ Zhao Fang, you lead five hundred soldiers. Go and help Qi Yi and flank that rebel general! β
Squinting his eyes, Guo Dian ordered without question.
"No!" Zhao Fang, the county lieutenant of Nansi County, held his fists and received the order, because of the lack of war horses, he led the long knife and led the five hundred county soldiers of the headquarters to rush towards the battlefield.
"Huh?" Zhang Huang immediately noticed Guo Dianjun's abnormal movements, and turned his head to several generals beside him who were arrogant and had unhappy expressions on their faces and said politely, "The enemy army has increased its manpower, I am afraid that Guo Tai will be defeated alone, I don't know which senior brother is willing to help?" β
I saw that on the left and right sides of Zhang Huang, the Yellow Turban generals who were sitting on horses showed a little indifference on their faces. Several of them were vaguely proud and disdainful of what they expected.
"Then Guo Tai is not a powerful general who is valued by the little heavenly master, I believe that one enemy and two are not a problem!" One of the guys, Bian Xi, even said in a sneering tone, and when he spoke, there was a faint kind of catharsis like revenge.
It's no wonder who told Zhang Huang to go his own way and promote Guo Tai, who was originally just a pawn, to be the commander, not to mention appointing him as a pioneer general, which was originally for the generals who replaced Zhang Liang with Zhang Liang in charge of the Jizhou Yellow Turban. It's just an insult.
[The gang ...... For the sake of the battle of will, regardless of the overall situation! ]
The anger in Zhang Huang's heart also increased greatly, and even his eyes showed a bit of killing intent. If it is changed to a subordinate who does not respect orders like this when he is in Guangling. I'm afraid that Zhang Huang would have drawn his sword and killed Liwei, but it's a pity that he can't do that, after all, he is only using Zhang Liang's prestige to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, and the generals below are not convinced by him. If he kills a person in anger, I believe that no one will be willing to obey him anymore. When the time comes, even if Zhang Liang does not come forward. Most of these people will also choose to defect to Zhang Niujiao in Montenegro or Bu Si in Dongjun, and the Jizhou Yellow Turbans, which have suffered a great loss, are very likely to be dispersed before the historical enemy, Beizhonglang's general Lu Zhi led a large group of men and horses to crusade.
Thinking of this, Zhang Huang could only press the unswerving in his heart, and pretended not to care and smiled, "Since a few senior brothers don't want to move lightly, then it's up to me to take a trip." β¦β¦ Trouble a few senior brothers to sweep the battle for me! β
After that, Zhang Huang ignored the stunned expressions of Bian Xi and the others, picked up his spear and ordered 500 soldiers to kill on the battlefield, leaving only Bian Xi and the others looking at each other in Shuai Qi, quite embarrassed and embarrassed.
"This ...... What to do? The Yellow Turban General Lang Ping asked dumbfounded.
Bian Xi glanced at the rest of the generals, and after frowning and thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll just wait for him to sweep the formation!" β¦β¦ If we retreat at this time, General Rengong will be furious, but if this son is defeated and dies on the battlefield, then it has nothing to do with us, it is just his arrogance and self-defeating! β
Lang Ping and the rest of the generals glanced at each other and nodded yes.
At this time, Zhang Huang had already led the five hundred soldiers to the battlefield, and before the battle, he glanced at the rear, and saw that Bian Xi and Lang Ping really didn't dare to frame him at this time, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Humph!"
"Sure enough, you have to rely on yourself for everything......" muttering and laughing at himself, Zhang Huang suddenly opened his eyes, raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "Gentlemen, kill with me!" β
Zhang Huang is no stranger to the battlefield, after all, when he was in Guangling earlier, he was already the capital of the Guangling army, leading several soldiers with a total of hundreds of troops, so leading 500 soldiers can only be said to be familiar to him. The only thing that worries him is that the quality of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army is obviously inferior to that of the soldiers of the Guangling Army, after all, although the soldiers of the Guangling Army are local troops, they are also strictly trained, unlike the Yellow Turban Army he is leading now, which is purely a rabble that only rushes forward with enthusiasm.
Leaving aside the few die-hard believers who swear to defend the teachings of Taiping Taoism, the rest of these Yellow Turban Army, in Zhang Huang's view, can only fight a good battle: if the enemy is weak, I believe that these people are as fierce as tigers; But if the other party is strong, most of these people will be overwhelmed.
Therefore, Zhang Huang, who clearly understood this, must do his best to create a situation in which his side has the upper hand, otherwise, the Yellow Turban Army led by him is not qualified to fight with the trained county soldiers under Guo Dian's command.
As for how to create a situation where you have the upper hand? It's very simple, as long as he Zhang Huang tries his best to raid the leading generals on the opposite side.
"Boom-"
The man and the horse are one, and the gun is like a dragon, I have to say that in terms of the force at the level of General Zhang Huang. It couldn't have been easier to slaughter the soldiers of Guo Dian who rushed towards him. One gun, ten guns, ten people, even the generals of the enemy army, even the chief and uncle, could not stop the spear in Zhang Huang's hand. Occasionally, a guy who has mastered the rigid body relies on his own stunt to resist Zhang Huang's footsteps of leading people to assault, but he only dies under Zhang Huang's spear through spiral marksmanship after a few blocks.
Seeing that their little heavenly master was so brave, the five hundred Yellow Turban soldiers led by Zhang Huang were also greatly boosted, and as long as Zhang Huang's spear pointed, they would rush forward desperately.
"This way!"
"This way!"
For a time, 500 soldiers under Zhang Huang's command killed the enemy and almost routed.
"What a brave young general!"
Guo Dian, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but widen his eyes. His face was full of surprise, he never thought that Zhang Huang, who he originally wanted to personally surprise and sneak attack, would lead his troops to the battlefield by himself, let alone that Zhang Huang's force would far exceed his previous estimates.
"Dub...... No, the general level ......" Guo Dian narrowed his eyes, obviously very surprised, such a young Zhang Huang was so fierce.
But after thinking about it deeply, Guo Dian was a little confused.
It is undeniable that even in Guo Dian's view, Zhang Huang, who is like no one on the battlefield, can be called a brave general. This can also explain why this person will take the place of the Zhang brothers to command this war, but the problem is that such a young man who is favored by the Zhang brothers should be constantly cultivated. It shouldn't be put on the battlefield at this time. At least in his Guo Dian's opinion, if Zhang Huang was his subordinate, he would never put Zhang Huang into a dangerous battlefield at this time, after all, if it was not good. will lose such a rare handsome.
"It's a little weird...... Hey! Glancing at the Yellow Turban Generals, Bian Xi, Lang Ping and the Yellow Turban generals who had not moved under the Yellow Turban Marshal, Guo Dian's eyes rolled slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a little inexplicable smile. He has been in officialdom for a long time. Naturally, we can see the information behind some superficial things.
And just as he was distracted, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the left and right beside him that was difficult to self-discipline.
"What's wrong?" Guo Tai, who came back to his senses, frowned and glanced at the attendants on the left and right who made a noisy sound, and his face showed a little displeasure.
However, the attendants on the left and right didn't care about the displeasure on the face of the main general, and said urgently, "My lord, County Lieutenant Zhao was killed by that rebel general!" β
"What? Zhao Fang? How so? Guo Tai's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he suddenly looked up, but he only saw Zhang Huangzheng leading the five hundred soldiers to rampage on the battlefield, killing the soldiers on his side left and right, but he could no longer see the figure of Zhao Fang, the county lieutenant of Nansi County.
Zhao Fang...... When was it killed? How was it killed? With a feeling of chagrin, Guo Tai asked in a deep voice.
After glancing left and right, someone finally lowered his head and whispered, "County Lieutenant Zhao saw that the rebel general was rampant, so he led people to block it, don't think about it...... I was stabbed to death by the rebel thief with three shots......"
"What? Three shots? Guo Tai's eyes showed a deep shock, because he knew very well that Zhao Fang, the county lieutenant of Nansi County, was also a warrior who had mastered the rigid body, and ordinary people could not get close, but he was stabbed to death by Zhang Huang with three shots.
"......" squinted his eyes, Guo Tai looked intently at Zhang Huang in the distance, and after observing it for a while, he let out a long breath and muttered expressionlessly, "Spear through spiral marksmanship...... Zhao Fang died unjustly. β
"Gun...... After all, for most people in the world, the rigid body is already a stunt that ordinary people have the opportunity to learn from, and the stunts that can break the rigid body, such as the collapse of the force, the spear, the iron chopping, and the unique tricks that have evolved on this basis, are rumors that only know their names.......
"This son...... It's no ordinary soldier! I'll meet him here......"
A trace of coldness flashed in the tiger's eyes, Guo Dian took the spear from the hand of the attendant, and galloped towards Zhang Huang with an expressionless face.
Although Guo Dian also admires Zhang Huang's strength at this age, since Zhang Huang chose to rebel and be mighty with the Yellow Turban in his eyes, then Guo Dian can only press the regret in his heart and kill him as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
He would never have thought that in fact, Zhang Huang was also thinking about this......
"Can't help it, the tiger is too guarded by Guo Dian!"
Glancing at the direction where the huge oppressive force came, Zhang Huang subconsciously raised his vigilance and smiled faintly.
