Chapter 138: Ambush Daxing

Liu Yu was taken aback and said, "Pass the order, the four gates will be guarded, and the whole city will be on guard." ”

Liu Ze took a step forward and said, "Uncle, the little nephew thinks that if it is not a good strategy to defend to the death, once the enemy army besieges the city, the enemy is outnumbered, and if there is no foreign aid, Zhuojun City will definitely not last long." ”

Liu Yu frowned, he also knew that it was not the best policy to defend to the death, but it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he only had these 5,000 men and horses under his command to fight against the 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who were in the front, he didn't dare to think about it, but said: "What should I do in Runde's opinion?" ”

Liu Ze said: "The Yellow Turban came to attack Zhuo County with the momentum of conquering Fanyang, the momentum is so strong, unstoppable, if our army is defending the city, the Yellow Turban will inevitably be more arrogant, and if it comes to attack the city in one go, our army may be difficult to resist." According to the foolish opinion, you can send an elite army, ambush in the middle of the attack, the arrogance of the yellow turban will be defenseless, if a battle can capture the thief head, the rest will be scattered, even if you can't capture the thief head, you can also disrupt its horns, frustrate its sharpness, and help our army to defend the city. ”

Liu Yu was overjoyed, Liu Ze's beheading plan to capture the thief and capture the king was indeed good, if Cheng Yuanzhi could be killed, the Yellow Turban Army would definitely be in chaos, but Liu Yu made a mistake in a blink of an eye, the errand of taking the head of the general among the 10,000 people is not something that ordinary people can complete, at least Liu Yu has no such generals.

"The little nephew has recruited some village warriors, all of whom are soldiers who fought to the death, and they can take on this responsibility." Liu Ze immediately recommended himself.

Liu Yu was overjoyed and said, "It's so good, but how many people are there under Runde?" ”

"More than five hundred people."

Originally, Liu Yu's elated appearance was a little discouraged, 500 people against 50,000 people, can there be a chance of winning?

Liu Zedao: "Please rest assured, my little nephew's five hundred villagers are all elite people, and those yellow scarves are just a rabble, local chickens and dogs, which can be broken in a moment, and my uncle is waiting for good news in the city." “

Although Liu Ze is full of confidence, Liu Yu does not agree, young people, self-confidence can be had, but arrogance is not good. He coughed and said, "Okay, since this is the case, this official will order Liu Ze to lead his troops out of the city to meet the battle, take advantage of the gap to attack it, and if the battle is unfavorable, you can quickly retreat to the city." ”

Liu Ze was the nephew he had just recognized, and he didn't want to let him lose his life in the first battle, so he thought about it and said: "Captain Zou led two thousand men and horses to answer behind him, remember not to fall in love with the war." ”

Liu Ze couldn't help but smile in his heart, this Liu Yu was really a loyal elder, and he was afraid that he would lose, so he would draw out another 2,000 people from the already overstretched city defenders to respond. He bowed his hand and said: "So the little nephew has gone down to prepare, as for Captain Zou's 2,000 people, prepare more carriages and horses, and prepare to clean up the battlefield." Leave! Liu Ze said that he pulled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and turned away, no matter how stunned the people behind him were.

Zhang Fei excitedly geared up, he could finally do a big job, even Guan Yu's ancient well Wubo face had a trace of emotion, the price of the warrior can only be reflected on the battlefield, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have no reason not to be excited. The three of them hurried out of the city and returned to Lousang Village.

Liu Ze is not a big trust, he really didn't pay attention to the 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers. In history, Liu Guanzhang led the temporarily recruited 500 township warriors to defeat Cheng Yuanzhi's army to the ground, and became famous in a battle, not because the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban soldiers was low, but because Guan Yu beheaded Cheng Yuanzhi with a knife, and the group of thieves was leaderless, so naturally there was only one left to flee for their lives. Now the two first-rate generals in the Three Kingdoms are around, and most of the five hundred elite soldiers have been baptized in bloody battles in the Western Regions. Surprise, attack unprepared, take it to victory in the first battle of the Yellow Turban will not be suspenseful at all. Most of the generals of the Yellow Turban were born recklessly, and they didn't know a few words in Douda, and they relied on a brave word to fight.

The terrain near Zhuo County, Liu Ze is well aware, if you want to ambush, it is Daxing Village, twenty miles south of Zhuo County, there is a river Laishui in the west, there is a hill in the east, there is a large dense forest, it is the best place to hide soldiers, between the hills and Laishui, there is only three or four miles of distance, and it is condescending, very suitable for the impact of cavalry. This is the only way from Fanyang to Zhuojun, the terrain is narrow and long, not to mention the 50,000 army, even the 500,000 army will be squeezed into a long strip here.

Without further ado, Liu Ze ordered Guan Hai to immediately reorganize his troops and set off for Daxing Mountain. Liu Ze's 500 men were all cavalry, well-armored and well-equipped, and in less than an hour, they were all in place and hidden in the dense forests of Daxing Mountain. The Jin Yingwei sent by Pan Feng also came back to report, and the Yellow Turban army rushed here, and it was already five miles away.

Liu Ze ordered all the people to remain silent and not make a sound.

In a short time, the dust flew in the distance, and countless men and horses drove over, overwhelming the sky and the earth, covering the mountains and fields, like locusts. When I got closer, I saw that it looked like an army, without the slightest formation, and the clothes were all kinds of strange, with long robes and short coats, all kinds of colors, and even wrapped the whole horse of silk around the body, and it looked like it had just robbed the silk shop. The weapons in his hands were miscellaneous, sickles, axes, hoes, rakes, shovels, and plows, all of which were used to plough the land on his shoulders as weapons, and some of them were holding standard guns and halberds, which were obviously just captured from the battle of Fan Yang. There are horses, mules, donkeys, cows, and people driving large herds of chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. There were also many women in the procession, their clothes tattered and haggard, all bound by ropes, and the other end of the rope must be their current master.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he whispered, "This ...... This is the Yellow Turbans? How do I look like a farmer rushing to the market? ”

Pan Feng pointed to him and said, "These people are all wearing yellow scarves on their heads, so naturally they are undoubtedly yellow turban soldiers." ”

Zhang Fei looked at it, but no, although these people are dressed in strange clothes, they have an obvious thing in common, that is, they are all dressed in drapes and wiped their foreheads with yellow scarves, not yellow turban soldiers or something. Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "With these birdmen, they can also fight?" He looked at Liu Ze with his eyes, but Liu Ze was speechless.

Liu Ze, who received an education in Marxist materialism since childhood, always felt that the peasant uprising was great from the depths of his mind, and that under the cruel oppression of the landlord class and the bureaucratic class, they could not bear it anymore, rose up to fight back, and fought to the end against the evil ruling class with a fearless revolutionary spirit and their flesh and blood. They are all heroes who can sing and cry, they are all heroes who are not afraid of violence, they are peaceful and good, they do the right thing for heaven, they are all well-known characters like heroes in Liangshan.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the green forest and the yellow scarf in the Han Dynasty, and then the Yellow Nest, the Red Turban, Li Chuang, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from the history textbooks, Liu Ze knew one peasant hero after another, admired their heroism, marveled at their heroic deeds, and lamented their success and failure.

But today, the scene in front of him has completely subverted Liu Ze's concept, and many of the heroic fantasies of the past have become pale and powerless at this moment, and when he really entered history, he found that the previous books were all read in vain.

The appearance of these Yellow Turban soldiers was clearly that they had just plundered Fanyang and the nearby villages, and the gold, silver, goods, chariots, horses, clothes, and even women had become the targets of their plunder. Suddenly, one day, this kind of life could no longer be lived, and in the midst of fanaticism and restlessness, the ugliest side of human nature was also hideously revealed, and the people who were originally obedient and kind would also go to murder and arson, adultery, adultery, and plunder. The debate of whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil has become less important, and whose fault is it in this troubled world where human nature is corrupt and morally degraded?
