Chapter 30: The First Battle of the Yellow Turban

Li Ru looked at everyone with a gloomy gaze, and then said: "In my opinion, it is better to let Captain Jia go, Captain Jia has always been brave and strategic, and he will definitely be able to handle this battle." ”

Jia Rong didn't understand that Weishenme, Li Ru, was still aimed at himself, and he was already very serious and careful in doing things.

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's analysis, even claimed that it was, and ordered: "Zhiyuan, immediately lead your troops to meet the Yellow Turban, there must be no mistake, this battle can only be won and not defeated." ”

Jia Rong said to Dong Zhuo: "Don't worry, general, the humble duty will be completed." ”

Seeing the development of the situation, Guo Yan was anxious, originally thought that Dong Zhuo would send his right-hand man Hua Xiong to the first battle, but he didn't expect Li Ru to give Dong Zhuo such an idea, Guo Yan immediately stepped forward and saluted Dong Zhuo and said: "General Qiyu, I am willing to fight the Yellow Turban with Captain Jia; Captain Jia's soldiers are basically infantry, and the lowly soldiers are basically cavalry, and the lowly position thinks that he will be able to defeat the Yellow Turban in one fell swoop by cooperating with Captain Jia. ”

After listening to Guo Yan's analysis, Dong Zhuo thought that there were about more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in front, and it was not appropriate to send Jia Rong and a team, so he agreed to Guo Yan's request.

So, the task of going to face the Yellow Turban was completed by Jia Rong and Guo Yan.

After the generals returned to their ranks, Dong Zhuo showed a puzzled expression and said to Li Ru behind him: "Virtuous son-in-law, Weishenme is going to send Jia Rong forward, I originally planned to let Hua Xiong go, Hua Xiong is brave and will definitely be able to defeat the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of him in one fell swoop." ”

Li Ru replied respectfully: "Lord, the yellow scarf in front is not to worry, what combat effectiveness can a soldier composed of a group of ordinary people have, I mainly test whether Jia Rong is loyal to the lord." ”

Dong Zhuo said suddenly: "So that's the case, but Jia Rong has always been serious in the army, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"It's just that if you do things seriously, there's something wrong, this Jia Rong is not simple." Li Ru said in a cold tone.

Dong Zhuo still didn't understand what Li Ru meant, but he didn't dig deeper, he was very relieved about this son-in-law, and all military affairs in the army were basically handled by him; He has a lot of credit for getting to where he is now.

After Jia Rong returned to the team, he immediately sent all the sentries to the location of the Yellow Turban soldiers ten miles away to inquire about the specific situation.

Then he and Guo Yan led more than 2,200 cavalry and more than 2,000 infantry to the Yellow Turban soldiers ten miles away.

It was initially learned that there were about 11,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in front, some of whom were old and weak women and children, and some of them were ordinary people holding agricultural tools for ploughing the land, and the specific number of elite soldiers was unknown.

Jia Rong rode his horse to Guo Yan's side to discuss how to proceed in the next battle, and Guo Yan's sentry had already reported back the military situation at the front, and Guo Yan learned most of the situation of the Yellow Turban soldiers in the front.

After Jia Rong and Guo Yan's research, it was decided to use cavalry to charge and kill, and the infantry would go up to fight after the cavalry had disrupted the position of the Yellow Turban soldiers, that is, the infantry was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and the cavalry was the main force to fight.

Jia Rong thought carefully and said: "Big brother, if you divide the cavalry into two parts, you and my brother will each bring a part of the men and horses to attack the position of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and give the Yellow Turban soldiers the illusion that our army is strong, and it will be easier to disrupt their positions." ”

Because it was the first time he fought with the Yellow Turban soldiers, he didn't know much about the specific strength of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and this was also the first time Jia Rong used cavalry to fight, so Jia Rong seriously discussed with Guo Yan how to defeat more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, after all, the two divisions of his own side combined did not have 5,000 people.

After listening to Jia Rong's analysis, Guo Yan nodded and said: "The second brother's words are reasonable, the cavalry under my command has a total of 2,000 people, divided into 1,000 cavalry with the second brother, and I am responsible for the frontal attack on the position of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and you will attack from the side." ”

Jia Rong knew that this was Guo Yan taking care of himself, and he was attacking the position of the Yellow Turban soldiers head-on, and the resistance would definitely be great, and after Guo Yan divided the cavalry with his own 1,000 people, the number was not as large as the cavalry under his command.

"Big brother, this time it's up to me to hit it head-on, I have been studying with my eldest brother for so long, I want to test the results of what I have learned, which will also help me improve in the future." Jia Rong excused himself in another way.

seemed to see Jia Rong's careful thoughts, Guo Yan daxiao said: "Since this is the case, I will take the meaning of the second brother, but you must pay attention to your own safety when you rush to kill on the battlefield." ”

Jia Rong nodded yes.

Ten miles away, the cavalry was there in the blink of an eye.

When approaching the camp of the Yellow Turban soldiers, Jia Rong found that the Yellow Turban soldiers were already in full battle, and it seemed that there were also capable people among the Yellow Turban soldiers.

His first task was to storm the Yellow Turban position, and Jia Rong ordered 1,200 cavalry to charge and kill the Yellow Turban soldiers in a roundabout way; Roundabout charging and killing is a common way of cavalry combat, mainly using the strong impact of cavalry to cause maximum damage to the enemy's position, is the best way to disrupt the enemy's position.

The Qiang cavalry of Jia Rong's tribe still maintained their previous habits, and when they approached the position of the Yellow Turban soldiers about one hundred and fifty paces, they all mounted their bows and arrows and shot at the Yellow Turban soldiers.

The Yellow Turban soldiers were dressed in coarse cloth and had no armor to cover their bodies, and when the arrows rained down, the soldiers fell to the ground as if they were cutting wheat.

Jia Rong did not have strict requirements for the weapons used by his cavalry on the battlefield, as long as he used them easily.

The head-on collision between the two armies began, and the cavalry led by Jia Rong took out all kinds of weapons, and the weapons used by the soldiers were full of patterns, such as maces, broadswords, and spears, as long as they could be named, they could appear in Jia Rong's cavalry ranks.

However, the cavalry of Guo Yan's department used spears in one piece, prancing horses and spears one by one, and killed the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Jia Rong rode on a high-speed galloping war horse, with a long knife in his hand, he cut a Yellow Turban soldier into two pieces with a single sword, and then rushed to the depths of the Yellow Turban soldier's position.

The Yellow Turban soldiers were killed and trampled by the cavalry, and suffered countless casualties.

After such a war, the Yellow Turban soldiers used to fight when their own army came to the county seat and county seat, and they didn't need to attack the city at all.

The cavalry led by Jia Rong did not encounter much resistance, and made a detour of the position of the Yellow Turban soldiers, although there were also some elite soldiers among the Yellow Turban soldiers, after all, they were in the minority, and they could not withstand the impact of more than a thousand cavalry.

Seeing that under the impact of the cavalry led by himself, the Yellow Turban soldiers suffered countless casualties; The Yellow Turban soldiers saw their companions fall one by one under the charge of the cavalry, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were all so frightened that they avoided them when they saw the cavalry coming; Jia Rong sighed in his heart, what kind of soldiers are these, they are clearly a group of people who rebel with farm tools on their shoulders, and they led the cavalry to charge and kill, and they did not see that they had a master general to deploy soldiers.

Although Jia Rong couldn't bear to raise the butcher's knife at them, now they were anti-thieves, this was the battlefield, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were the enemy, all he had to do was to destroy the enemy, there was no sympathy or disaffection; The habit he developed in the army in his previous life always reminded Jia Rong: "Don't be merciful to the enemy, otherwise you will only be hurt." ”

Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, the Yellow Turban soldiers fled in all directions.

At this time, a thousand cavalry led by Guo Yan arrived, and killed the fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers with Jia Rongbing and a place; Jia Rong led his 200 cavalry, thinking of killing the most dense place of the Yellow Turban soldiers, Jia Rong adopted the method of dividing and encircling the station this time, that is, to break up the enemy and then kill them one by one.

After chasing and killing the Yellow Turban soldiers for more than ten miles, Jia Rong and Guo Yan led the cavalry troops back.

At this time, the infantry was in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, and the captured Yellow Turban soldiers were gathered together.

Jia Rong immediately sent troops to inform Dong Zhuo that the Yellow Turban soldiers in front had all been wiped out.

In this battle, more than 4,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were killed, more than 2,000 people were captured, and more than 4,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were escaped, and their own losses were very small, Jia Rong's 200 cavalry lost more than 30 cavalry, Guo Yan's cavalry lost about 200 people, and infantry, there were no casualties.

Half an hour later, Dong Zhuo, who got the news, led more than 100 cavalry to arrive in person, and was very happy to hear the results reported by Jia Rong.

Winning the first battle, and reporting to the Han Emperor with very little losses, he will definitely be able to get a lot of rewards, so Dong Zhuo seemed very excited.

Dong Zhuo cordially pulled Jia Rong and Guo Yan and said: "This time to defeat the Yellow Turban soldiers, you two have great merit, I will definitely give the Holy Saint and ask for credit for you." ”

Jia Rong and Guo Yan hurriedly thanked them.

The reason why the victory this time was so smooth was because this Yellow Turban soldier was wandering in the rear of the Yellow Turban army, picking up some small bargains, most of them were ordinary people, and there were not a few old and weak, and there were only more than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who really had the strength to fight; Jia Rong and Guo Yan easily defeated the Yellow Turban soldiers, and before the original Jihua could be implemented, the Yellow Turban soldiers had already begun to flee.

After the battlefield was cleared, Li Ru arrived with a large army, listening to the achievements reported by Jia Rong and Guo Yan, Li Ru pondered for a while; According to the news that came, the Yellow Turban thieves attacked the city and plundered the land all the way, how could they be so vulnerable, the reason why he said that the Yellow Turban soldiers were unbearable was just to reassure Dong Zhuo, but he didn't expect the Yellow Turban soldiers to really not work.

When Jia Rong told Li Ru about the specific situation of the battlefield, Li Ru was stunned.

Dong Zhuo reluctantly took out two hundred war horses and rewarded them to Jia Rong and Guo Yan to show his merits, but in fact, it was also to win over his subordinates.

What Jia Rong lacks now is a war horse, so he is naturally overjoyed; There are still a lot of cavalry before the Qiang people in his team, and they can fight on horseback, so they don't have to worry about the source of cavalry at all.
