Chapter 149: Going South to Guangzong

Zou Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did Liu Gongzi say this?" ”

"The Yellow Peril is rampant in Jizhou, among which the four counties of Julu, Anping, Qinghe, and Zhaoguo are even worse, known as millions of bandits, and the captain leads the army through this is not a moth to fight the fire." Liu Ze immediately pointed out the key points for him.

The sweat on Zou Jing's face came down, and he said hurriedly: "May Gongzi teach me." ”

Liu Ze smiled and said: "The road chosen by Captain Zou was originally the closest road to Qingzhou, and it would be appropriate if it was changed to normal times, but now it is dangerous and abnormal. Today, the main force of the Yellow Turban fought with Lu Gong in Guangzong, and the captain went to Qingzhou, and only needed to bypass the main force of the Yellow Turban. From here, turn to the east, take Bohai County through Le'an can also go directly to Linzi, although the road is far, but you can avoid the main force of the yellow scarf, there is no problem in safety. ”

Zou Jing was overjoyed and said: "I am fortunate to have the teachings of the prince today, otherwise I am afraid that I will miss the lives of five thousand soldiers." ”

Liu Bei was a little worried, and said: "Guangzong is the nest of the Yellow Turban, this trip will be very dangerous, the second brother thinks twice." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, Guangzong has his mentor Lu Gong in charge, how can I be afraid of millions of yellow scarves, my trip is just soy sauce." Liu Ze smiled indifferently.

Liu Bei was stunned, playing soy sauce? However, Liu Ze has spoken amazingly since he was a child, and often says things that others can't understand, so he is not surprised at the moment, and said: "Rao is like this, the second brother must also be careful." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, and the younger brother keep it in mind. The eldest brother goes to Qingzhou, must cross the Yellow River from Tatecheng, although the city is small, but its location is extremely important, choke the mouth of the Yellow River, and please pay more attention to this place. ”

Liu Ze emphatically pointed out that Tatecheng is located on the south bank of the estuary of the Yellow River, although it is a small county town, but it guards the mouth of the Yellow River, and controlling the city is equivalent to controlling the outlet of the entire Yellow River waters. And if you march into Qingzhou from Youzhou, if you can't pass by land, you can land from Tatecheng and take Qingzhou directly, which is undoubtedly a bridgehead and an important stronghold to enter Qingzhou from the waterway. The reason why Liu Ze told Liu Bei about the importance of the city was that he hoped that he would realize the pivotal position of this place, and that in the future, when Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao competed for power, Youzhou and Qingzhou would definitely be blocked by Jizhou, and the land transportation would inevitably rely on the sea, and if Liu Bei could realize the importance of the location of the city, he would inevitably be able to take the strategic initiative.

Zou Jing clenched his fists and said: "The military situation is urgent, there is no room for delay, I will say goodbye, and I hope to have a drink with Liu Gongzi in Zhuo County after breaking the yellow scarf in the future." ”

Liu Ze also returned the salute with a fist and responded with a smile. Zou Jing and Liu Bei got on their horses and threw themselves east, billowing dust and smoke flying in the air.

Liu Zemu saw them leave, and the whole army drove south. Liu Ze's command was full of light horses, and the speed was extremely fast, and he quickly entered the territory of Jizhou. Jizhou is the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and it is naturally the most catastrophic place, to paraphrase Cao Cao's words, "There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the white bones are exposed in the wild", Liu Ze saw that ten rooms and nine were empty, with ruins and broken walls, and full of greenery. Along the way, whether it is Zhongshan Changshan or Anping Julu, they are all uninhabited, not only the people can't see it, but even the Yellow Turban soldiers are scattered and few, watching Liu Ze's light cavalry from a distance, where they dare to provoke, they have fled far away. Liu Ze couldn't help but wonder a little, this was the most rampant place for the Yellow Turban, how could it be like entering a no-man's land. Pan Feng inquired and reported that it turned out that Lu Zhi led the army to attack Guangzong, and Zhang Jiao was defeated several times in a row, so he had to transfer all the Yellow Turban troops from all counties and counties in Jizhou to Guangzong to participate in the battle, because there was no Yellow Turban resistance in the places he passed along the way.

Liu Ze couldn't help but be secretly anxious, this road was too smooth, but Lu Zhi's side must be tight, all the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou were concentrated in Guangzong, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, and the army commanded by Lu Zhi was only more than 50,000 people, how to fight a decisive battle with hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army? Liu Ze gave the order to go down and hurried to Guangzong.

After a night of travel, he rested for an hour in Jingxian, and at dawn, Liu Ze's cavalry had entered the territory of Guangzong. The terrain of the Jizhong Plain is flat, as far as the eye can see, and you can see it at a glance. Liu Ze climbed a small mound and couldn't help but gasp.

Although he has experienced a lot of big battles after being reborn, the qiē in front of him is undoubtedly a huge shock. The yellow turban phalanx in front of it is dense, layered, and boundless, like locusts covering the sky and the sun, and the yellow flags that are moving, together with the yellow scarves on the soldiers' heads, are simply a sea of yellow. According to the history books, there were about 150,000 yellow scarves when Lu Zhi fought in Guangzong, and Liu Ze couldn't help but scold Chen Shou, 150,000? More than 500,000! The camp of officers and soldiers against him was only more than 50,000 people, and the scale was naturally much smaller, and compared with the vast formation of the Yellow Turbans, it was not worth mentioning.

Obviously, the two sides have just lined up and have not yet started fighting. The camp of officers and soldiers commanded by Lu Zhi was arrayed from west to east, the Yellow Turban camp commanded by Zhang Jiao was arrayed from east to west, and Liu Ze came from the north and naturally faced the right flank of the Yellow Turban Army. Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army is not Cheng Yuanzhi's team, although miscellaneous soldiers account for the majority, but Zhang Jiao's main Yellow Turban wrestlers are in the core position. These Yellow Turban wrestlers are the elite forces that Zhang Jiao has cultivated for many years, and they are also the root of Zhang Jiao's uprising.

The battle at the foot of Daxing Mountain was surprisingly victorious, killing Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao, the two thieves, in one fell swoop, and the rest immediately dispersed. But today in Guangzong, this kind of victory is not replicable, not that the number of Yellow Turbans has increased tenfold, but that the Yellow Turban formation is complete, and all of them have entered a state of combat readiness.

Even 10,000 enemies like Zhang Fei frowned when they saw this yellow ocean, and scolded and said, "Fuck it, so many Yellow Turban soldiers, big brother, can you still fight this battle?" ”

Liu Ze was confident, he looked at the terrain, and the Pingchuan was the most ideal battlefield for the cavalry. Liu Ze said: "The officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turbans are about to go to war, so our task is not to destroy the enemy, but to attack from the flanks and disrupt the enemy's formation, which is conducive to the officers and soldiers to attack from the front." Yun Chang, you lead the first team of two hundred and fifty men to attack the flanks of the Yellow Turban Army in a straight formation, remember, all use bows and arrows to attack, within the effective attack distance, each cavalry must shoot two arrows with a longbow and three arrows with a compound bow, must not make contact with the Yellow Turban Army, and must retreat when thirty paces away from the enemy. In front of the son, you lead the second team of 250 people to enter the second wave of attacks after the retreat of Yun Chang's first team, and the attack method is the same as that of the first team. After the sub-front retreated, Yun Chang's first team launched another attack wave, and so on. All personnel are not allowed to rush into the Yellow Turban battle formation, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

Guan Yu and Guan Haigong received the order: "No! "Turn around and go down to set up the troops.

Zhang Fei was stunned and said, "Big brother, why is it okay for me?" ”

"Third brother, with your character, I can't wait to rush into the Yellow Turban Formation to kill a good person, but in this way, my tactics will all be destroyed for you, so you can stay here honestly and watch a good show."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Big brother, you are not fair, why do you let me watch the formation?" ”

"Don't be impatient, when the Yellow Turban is defeated, there will naturally be a time when you will kill the enemy happily."

General Zhang Fei said suspiciously: "Just by shooting a few arrows back and forth, you can defeat 500,000 Yellow Turban soldiers?" I don't believe it! ”

Liu Ze ignored him, how could Zhang Fei understand the wonders of the archers. The open place is completely conducive to the roundabout attack of the archers, and the right flank of the Yellow Turban Army is full of miscellaneous soldiers, with a variety of weapons in their hands, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, hoes, shovels and clubs, and there is no defense at all under the bow and arrow blows of the archers, and basically there is no cavalry, even if you want to counterattack, can two legs run more than four legs? Liu Ze is ready to use the efficient mobility of the archers to attack the flanks of the Yellow Turban Army in turn, although he cannot kill the Yellow Turban soldiers in large quantities, but it is enough to disrupt the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, once the formation of the Yellow Turban Army is chaotic, Lu Zhi's officers and soldiers will have a gap to take advantage of, Liu Ze believes that with Lu Zhi's ability, as long as he is given a chance, even if it is a slight opportunity, he will firmly grasp it, so as to turn the whole tide of the battle.

Now that the war is about to break out, there is no time for Liu Ze to think about it anymore, he took out the Longyuan sword, held it high in his hand, and shouted: "Warriors, there is an army of 500,000 of the Yellow Turban Army ahead, are you afraid?" ”

All the warriors shouted in unison: "Invincible and fearless!" ”

"Warriors! Glory belongs to you, you will conquer it, and you will win it! ”

The army shouted: "Conquer it!" The battle must be won! Win! Win! Chanting the slogan of victory, the 250 cavalry under Guan Yu's command launched an attack on the flank of the Yellow Turban Army in a formation like more than 200 tigers descending from the mountain.

Since then, this battle slogan of "victory" has been widely spread in the army, and every battle must be preceded by shouting "the attack must be conquered, and the battle must be won," which has become the best magic weapon to stimulate morale and won victory after victory.
