Chapter Twenty-Nine: Heading North
According to later records, the strategy of the Yellow Turban Army was to attack on three fronts. Zhang Jiao divided the believers into 36 parties according to the regional organization, with more than 10,000 people in the large party and 6,700 people in the small party. In terms of strategic deployment, Zhang Jiao learned the lessons of the previous uprisings that were broken by the rulers, and in more than ten years, the development of disciples reached 100,000, covering the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan, divided into 36 parties, more than 10,000 people in Dafang, 6 or 7,000 people in Xiaofang, and each side set up a Qu Shuai, which was commanded by him. Jihua adopted the simultaneous attack of "internal and external" and "concurrent attack of eight states", that is, to start an incident inside and outside Luoyang at the same time, and to riot together in various local states. In terms of combat operations, although the rebel armies lacked careful coordination and cooperation, judging from the situation of their activities, it was obvious that the rebel army took Luoyang as its main offensive target, encircling and threatening Luoyang from the east, south, and north. Zhongshan County was originally a marginal area of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the few Yellow Turban Army had been swept away by Liu Zhuo. Liu Zhuo led his division to the north and entered the territory of Youzhou.
One day, the army encountered the Yellow Turban thieves unexpectedly during the march, and the two armies lined up to prepare for battle. The Yellow Turban Army numbered about 20,000 people, and it was overwhelming from afar. This is the rabble that the Yellow Turban thief Cheng Zhiyuan has just gathered. The two armies faced each other, the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, Liu Zhuo's army had sharp swords and guns, complete armor, neat military appearance, high morale, and the two armies had their own support. Liu Zhuo looked at the past from afar, his scalp was a little numb, Nima, the Yellow Turban Army can really bewitch, and they gathered so many people in one call, and they saw that the number of their troops was too small to fight hard. Suddenly remembered that this was a famous part of the big-eared thief Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu killed Cheng Zhiyuan and Zhang Fei killed Deng Mao. I suddenly had an idea in my heart, let's change it, Deng Mao can die, exchange his head for credit, Cheng Zhiyuan, maybe it will be useful in the future, well, so good, let's have a similar copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so, he turned his head and said to the generals: "In this battle, Yun Chang killed the first enemy general, and then Zi Longsheng captured the thief Cheng Zhiyuan, and then, the army followed me to cover up and kill the front, and when the enemy army lost courage, try to catch young people to replenish." ”
"Order."
After the arrangements were made, Liu Zhuo rode out of the battle and shouted: "Anti-country and traitor, why don't you descend early!" "Nima, the language of this section in the typical pirated Romance of the Three Kingdoms is word-for-word. Why is there no one to collect copyright fees, which is a serious infringement.
Cheng Yuanzhi was furious when he heard this, and hurriedly sent his deputy general Deng Mao to fight. Guan Yu Guan Yunchang patted his horse out of the formation and danced the Qinglong Yanyue knife to take Deng Mao directly, the two horses were wrong, Yun Chang raised the knife and fell, and waved Deng Mao into two. This is a fucking typical slaughtering chicken with a cattle-killing knife, a famous thug of the Three Kingdoms kills a nobody, hehe. Cheng Yuanzhi saw that he beheaded Deng Mao, slapped the horse and danced the knife, and went straight to Yunchang. Seeing this, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong hurriedly raised their guns to meet them, and then Cheng Yuanzhi fought together, one round, the two horses kicked wrongly, and Zilong stretched out his ape arm and lifted it over to capture Cheng Yuanzhi. The war drums beat in the array, Liu Zhuo waved his hand, and led the army to cover the past.
The Yellow Turban thieves are leaderless and chaotic. And Liu Zhuo's team had already been killed in front of him, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and other generals rushed into the crowd with swords and slashed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, causing the Yellow Turban Army to be in chaos. The family members behind them lined up neatly, lined up in several phalanxes, and in the phalanx, groups of three attacked the enemy group, and the whole battlefield resounded with the sound of killing. Anyone who dares to resist with an arm in front of the Yellow Turban thief, the sword and shield hand comes forward to meet the battle, the pikemen on both sides of the left and right shoot one shot and kill directly, and the unarmed person is ordered to kneel and surrender to avoid the scourge of killing. The brigade rolled forward, and its might made the enemy fearless.
Not to mention that this yellow turban thief is a rabble, where would a group of peasants who had just dropped their hoes fight, and now they were frightened by the ferocity of the other party. Is there anyone who dares to fight? There must be people who can fight among tens of thousands of people, but the whole formation has become a chaotic army, especially those who are old, weak, sick and disabled and unable to fight are even more panicked, they are scurrying everywhere in the Yellow Turban Army, and the back have to rush to the front even if they want to fight.
At this time, Liu Zhuo's family also changed their tactics, and when they saw the young and strong, they didn't kill them and directly fell to the ground and captured them alive, as for those who were old, weak, sick and disabled, no one paid attention to them, and this group of people swarming around the battlefield added to the chaos of the Yellow Turban Army.
An hour later, the battlefield was calm, and the old and weak Yellow Turban thieves were gone. In this battle, more than 400 enemies were killed and more than 2,000 were captured. Actually defeated more than 20,000 Yellow Turban thieves, claiming to be 50,000, this thing was ready to lie about the merits of the war, and the first battle of Youzhou won a complete victory.
The captives were handed over to Tian Feng for management, and these captives should first be brainwashed and Zhang Jiao's deceptive tricks exposed, so that these peasant brothers could come to their senses. Liu Zhuo arranged for someone to report the good news to Liu Yan, the Taishou of Youzhou, of course we can't fall into the dark shadow of the war, of course, the credit must be reported early, obviously defeated 20,000 Yellow Turban thieves but lied to defeat 50,000 thieves, paralyzed quite shameless, isn't this a lie about the merits of the war? But who cares?
The army rested for a while and continued to advance, and began to sweep through the Yellow Turban Thieves in Youzhou. Youzhou was not the main place for the activities of the Yellow Turban thieves in the first place, and the biggest shili was Cheng Yuanzhi's group of thieves. Now that Cheng Yuanzhi, the largest liliang, has been eliminated, the remaining small shili is not a problem at all, and the whole territory of Youzhou is safe.
Before raising the army, Liu Zhuo had already thought about the route of the march, first of all, he had to go to Youzhou to see Liu Yan, and after getting affirmation, he led his troops south. The first step is to go south to Quyang to fight against Zhang Niujiao, and then go to Lu Zhi to take a look, at this time in history it is Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao at the stage of standoff, it is estimated that there is no chance there for the time being, the most important thing is to kidnap some elite soldiers from Lu Zhi, didn't Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, kidnap a thousand elite soldiers from Lu Zhi? Hehe, let's cut off the beard first. Then, after leaving Lu Zhi, you should go to Qingzhou to relieve the siege, probably Qingzhou's call for help has already arrived in Youzhou, and Liu Yan will also send Liu Zhuo to Qingzhou to relieve the siege.
Although the Yellow Turban Army is not a regular army, Liu Zhuo's own subordinates are not a real army, let alone anyone, just use the Yellow Turban Army to train soldiers, and at the same time, collect prisoners all the way to the battle, and after education, the qualified ones are expanded into the army. There is another important thing to do, the Yellow Turban Army failed in history, and a large number of Yellow Turban Army prisoners were beheaded, which Liu Zhuo did not want to see, Liu Zhuo needed to be captured, and he needed to retain a large number of people, and he did not want the war to cause a sharp decline in the population of the Central Plains. Therefore, Liu Zhuo has to make some arrangements for the battle along the way to leave some foreshadowing for the future. How can these feudal and declining rulers treat people as if they were people? Smacking like this, you don't know anything? Human resources are also a drop of wealth! Besides, it's very immoral to kill the drop! I'm dripping lewd from the age of civilization.
