Chapter 52, A New Trouble
"Big brother, I see that your three hundred cavalry, two hundred paces and combat effectiveness are amazing, why don't we have two pairs of them to fight each other!" Zu Zhao said consciously.
"Second brother, sparring, this sword has no eyes, fists and feet are ruthless, and sparring is easy to cause casualties!" Zhao Yun groaned, a little moved, but he was worried about casualties, after all, he was a soldier brought out by his own hands.
"This is simple, let the soldier take off the tip of the gun and replace it with a wooden shaft, take down the arrow and use the shaft of the arrow, and have a friendly exchange!" Zu Zhao proposed that he was a three-foot character, and he would not stop without digging into the essence of Zhao Yun's troops.
The honest Zhao Yun finally nodded.
Bell ......
On the school ground, Zu Zhao's three hundred cavalry competed with Zhao Yun's cavalry. What surprised Zu Zhao was that Zhao Yun's cavalry spear skills were exquisite, and the close combat actually made Zu Zhao's three hundred ghost cavalry suffer a big loss, although there was no greeting to death, but after a friendly exchange, Zhao Yun's cavalry was still much higher than Zu Zhao's ghost cavalry in close combat.
Of course, Zu Zhao's wooden spear and bow and arrow also frightened Zhao Yun's cavalry into a cold sweat, this is a competition, the wooden spears are replaced by wooden poles, and the bows and arrows are even more arrows. But it hurts to shoot on the body, and if it's a real arrow, I'm afraid it's already lost.
But Zu Zhao was very dissatisfied, so he asked his cavalry to respectfully follow Zhao Yun's cavalry to learn marksmanship, and pulled Zhao Yun to let him instruct his men in spearmanship.
Who knows that Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "You don't need my guidance, let your soldiers insist on sticking the spear a thousand times a day, hold the spear flat with your arm for an hour every day, put a bowl of water on the tip of the spear, and the water on the tip of the spear can't be sprinkled half a drop within an hour, that's how my soldiers practiced!" Don't underestimate these basic exercises, it is this basic exercise that determines my 300 cavalry and 200 steps of extraordinary bravery, spears fly up and down in close combat, and the bandits around me are discouraged! ”
Zu Zhao nodded, Zhao Yun's combat effectiveness of two hundred steps was also very strong, if it weren't for the speed of the cavalry, his ghost cavalry would not be able to take advantage of it.
Zhao Yun was reluctant to give advice, so Zu Zhao simply took a spear and asked Zhao Yun for advice.
Zu Zhao is proficient in almost all spearmanship, and thinks that he can recognize the general marksmanship routines, but when he attacked Zhao Yun, he found that Zhao Yun's marksmanship did not have any routines at all.
And Zu Zhao is tied up because he is proficient in various routines.
Without bow and arrow suppression, without the explosion of vitality, Zu Zhao was not Zhao Yun's opponent at all with his spear skills alone.
"Second brother, you are letting me take a big advantage, your strength is very great, and your magic arrow Wushuang has abandoned the two, you and I purely compare marksmanship, brother, I still take advantage of the boss!" Zhao Yun was smiling on the side.
Zu Zhao nodded, but what he wanted to do today was to get the essence of Zhao Yun's spear technique.
Still fighting to the death......
……
Bidding farewell to Zhao Yun and rushing to Zhuo County, Zu Zhao's ghost cavalry has one more task, that is, he must pierce a thousand guns before going to bed, and hold a bowl of water with the tip of the gun for an hour before sleeping.
Marksmanship, a method of attack that cavalrymen must be proficient in.
And the archer has a task before going to bed, which is to look at the red dot of haode incense for an hour alone, in order to keep the archer eyesight high.
And the archers have five more copper plates in the army than the other troops.
Those who excel in marksmanship will be rewarded with five copper plates.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Yun, Zu Zhao formulated a series of measures, because of the reward, the three hundred ghost riders did not have any complaints, but had a sense of excitement.
On the way to Zhuo County, it rained heavily, and the accompanying labor had to stop several times, but they were all rejected by Zu Zhao.
After three or five days, the rain stopped, and we finally arrived in Zhuojun County.
"Report! There is a Yellow Turban Army attacking Zhuojun, and I heard that it has been besieging the city for half a month! Now all the rich families have escaped! "The scout of the Phantom Rider has come to report.
Zu Zhao rode on the war horse, and sure enough, he saw that there was a stream of dust rising in the direction of Zhuo County, and the rain had just stopped at this time, which could make the dust fly, indicating that the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army was very large, so many that they could step out the dry soil under the wet soil, and fly up with the dust.
"How many cavalry are there?" Zu Zhao asked calmly.
"More than two thousand, it should be a small square team!" Zu Ping said on the side, he had already sent Cai Yan to Xu Wu, and rushed back day and night.
"More than two thousand? This should be the main force of the Yellow Turban Army! "Zu Zhao knows that cavalry is a very valuable type of troops, and it is the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and a scale of two thousand should be the main force.
"It's Zhang Zhongliang under Cheng Zhiyuan, this Zhang Zhongliang is extremely powerful, using a cooked copper stick, it is said that there are more than 100 catties, and the average general can't take his stick at all, Zhuojun County has two partial generals who came out to fight with him, and was beaten to death by him with a stick, no more generals in Zhuojun County dare to come out to fight, and this half a month is to lock the city gate, waiting for rescue!"
When Zu Zhao heard waiting for rescue, he felt a great irony, there were reinforcements, that is, he was the grain supervisor who escorted the grain and grass, and let the grain supervisor go to the battlefield to relieve the siege, and only there was such a legend in the Romance of the Gods, not to mention that the disparity in the strength of the troops in front of him was very great, Zu Zhao only had 300 cavalry in his hands, but Zhang Zhongliang had 2,000 cavalry in his hands, even if his ghost cavalry was powerful, he couldn't fight the opponent's many.
The opponent's cavalry is not a wine bag and rice bag like a bandit, Zhang Zhongliang bravely crowned the three armies, and there were no weak soldiers under the strong general, Zu Zhao did not dare to despise the combat power of the opponent's cavalry.
"How should we deal with it, eldest prince?" Zu Anu asked beside him, now the situation is very unfavorable to Zu Zhao, he is the one who escorts the grain and grass, if Zhang Zhongliang knows that Zu Zhao has grain and grass here, I am afraid that he will give up the county seat of Zhuo County as soon as possible, destroy Zu Zhao first, and then collect grain and grass to attack the county seat again.
"Hide the grain and grass!" Zu Zhao said lightly.
"Keep them all in your custody, and don't let a single person go out!" Zu Zhao pointed to the labor escort of grain and grass, and then asked the ghost rider to escort these people and slowly retreated.
"Find a remote place, dig a cellar, and after digging the cellar, don't forget to bake it with charcoal, and put the grain and grass in the cellar when it is not wet, and don't forget to put dry charcoal on top of the grain and grass after you finish it!" Zu Zhao calmly commanded.
"Yes!" Zu Ping led the labor and left.
Without food and grass to worry about, Zu Zhao's heart suddenly relaxed.
"Childe, are we going to attack? Do you want them to know we're coming? Zu A'Nu was very excited, and several successive victories had already made him despise the Yellow Turban Army. At this moment, I was thinking that I was fighting against the opponent's two thousand cavalry with three hundred phantom cavalry.
"A strong attack is impossible, this is the elite of the Yellow Turban Army, we must use our advantage to repel the enemy!" Zu Zhao ordered people to take out the map, and couldn't help frowning when he looked at the surrounding terrain, this is a plain with open terrain, and the consequences are very unpredictable once caught up by the enemy.
And Zhuojun doesn't seem to have any important places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to use water to attack and burn the enemy soldiers like last time.
"Is there no way for the eldest prince? Otherwise, let's fight hard, I feel that our current combat power is not ordinarily high! "Zu Anu still feels that the opponent's combat power is not an ordinary scum, this is the sequelae of winning battles.
Syllable! He was slapped on the head by Zu Zhao.
"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, how can you fight hard casually? The brothers of the three hundred ghost riders still have parents, wives and children, once they fight hard, how can you let me explain to their parents? Zu Zhao didn't respond to him angrily.
Zu Ah Nu couldn't help but wonder.
"I should tell them that my ancestor Zhao is here!"
When Zu Anu heard this, she wondered in her heart, isn't this a hard fight?
"Han Dang listens to the order, you hide in Crouching Tiger Ridge, where is a hill, but you can hide a hundred cavalry, Zu Ping, you lead a hundred cavalry to hide in Luofeng Zhuangzi, once I attract the opponent's cavalry, you must immediately storm the left and right flanks of the pursuers!"
Zu Zhao gave the order.
"What? Could it be that the eldest prince wants to lead the troops into battle by himself? ”
Han Dang couldn't help but worry.
"Of course, I need to go by myself to have an effect!" Zu Zhao said with a smile.
"Then give the most elite cavalry to the eldest prince, and we don't need to go to haode cavalry to ambush!" Zu Anu said angrily, in his heart, Zu Zhao could not tolerate any mistakes.
"Okay!" Han Dang also agreed, and Zu Zhao could not afford to miss it.
……
Outside the county seat of Zhuo County, Zhang Zizhong looked at the city wall of Zhuo County and couldn't help but be a little anxious, he did not take this small county town for fifteen consecutive days, his cavalry was already sleepy and lacking horses, but his grain and grass could still support half a month, and he deeply hoped to take this county seat of Zhuo County within one or two days.
"Report! We found a pair of cavalry on our left flank and attacked directly on our left flank! "The scout is coming.
"What? Which team of officers and soldiers came to send them to their deaths? Make me dumplings! Dare to argue with me Zhang Zizhong, is he tired of being alive? ”
"It's Zu Zhao! Defeat the great general Cheng Zhiyuan to Zu Zhao! The scout replied carefully, after all, Zu Zhao had become taboo in the ears of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Zu Zhao? Are you sure it's him? Zhang Zizhong mentioned the scout as soon as he could, the name Zu Zhao was like thunder to him, Cheng Zhiyuan had a life-saving grace for him, and he regarded Cheng Zhiyuan as a brother, but Zu Zhao defeated Cheng Zhiyuan, making Cheng Zhiyuan, who had a high prestige in the Yellow Turban Army, extremely famous.
"Yes, that is a silver-robed young general, with a hundred ghost horses, he dares to attack our left wing, and as soon as his five-in-a-row magic archery technique appears, ten brothers will be strung into a sugar gourd!"
Zhang Zizhong was furious: "A hundred cavalry dare to attack my left flank, do you see me Zhang Zizhong as a wine bag and rice bag?" Come and let the left wing pursue, if you die to see people and live to see corpses, this ancestor Zhao will definitely not be able to let go! ”
