Chapter 75, Experiencing the First World War
Continuing to walk forward, I saw the yellow turban thief stationed in Ying County, and this yellow turban thief was Zhang Liang himself. Zhang Liang is the most reckless among the three brothers, but he has a huge force next to his height and body, and he is very brave, and he is also a fierce general when he charges and kills the enemy.
At this moment, Yingxian is only a hundred miles away from Jizhou, and it is an outpost of Jizhou.
But Zu Zhao saw Zhang Liang's soldiers and horses, all of them were banditry, the team was obviously scattered, and the camp where they were stationed was even more casual, and the biggest disadvantage of Ying County was that there was no city wall, and the soldiers were directly stationed in tents.
Zu Zhao saw that Zhang Liang's place was not dug a trench, there was no horse rejection deer barricade, and there was no courage to defend, such a yellow turban thief was able to run rampant in Jizhou, which made Zu Zhao feel that there was really no reason. On the other hand, the strength of the Jizhou official army is really not ordinary garbage.
"General Wen Chou is playing in the vanguard, you lead the men and horses to respond in the back, once my ghost horse tears the opening, your two thousand men and horses will fight directly, these yellow turban thieves are very terrible in the eyes of the Jizhou soldiers, but in front of our two armies, it is a small dish!"
Zu Zhao discussed the ugly text.
"You don't have to be polite to supervise the post, the text is ugly, but the post supervisor is the first to look forward!" Wen Chou said this sentence very slippery now, no matter what Zu Zhao discussed with him, he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, because it was smooth to fight with Zu Zhao, and he could win almost lying down, and there were four or five small-scale battles before and after entering Jizhou, and it was almost effortless.
"Kill!" Zu Zhao pointed his spear, took out a strong crossbow and attacked Zhang Liang's camp to kill, the scout has found out that there are 5,000 men and horses inside, these 5,000 men and horses are invincible in Youzhou, defeating countless officers and soldiers, and at this moment seeing that there are officers and soldiers killed, there is no fear at all.
Zhang Liang was sitting in the big tent, and when he heard that a silver-robed general led a team of soldiers to come to his camp tent, he thought that the officers and soldiers along the way were tired of life? Don't you know how powerful he is?
He ordered soldiers and horses and led a thousand cavalry to the camp tent, blocking Zu Zhao's attack.
The rest of the cavalry rested in their tents, fearless.
"Where is the kid in front, report your name, I Zhang Liang will not kill the unknown!" Zhang Liang held a forty-pound copper hammer in his hand, wielding it on his horse, he had a big waist and a round physique, but he had a brave spirit.
"In Xia Zuzhao, the post governor of Beiping County is yes, get off the horse and surrender, I can let you have a whole corpse, otherwise you will definitely become a hedgehog!"
"Hmph, I'll make you a meat puree today!" Zhang Liang wielded two copper hammers, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, Zu Zhao rushed towards him, Zu Zhao hid in a stirrup, and shot ten spears at him with a strong crossbow.
Zhang Liang wielded the copper hammer and knocked the four spears in front of him away, but the remaining six spears were inserted into his body, because the copper hammer was used as two shields, but he did not die, but he was full of spears up and down, fell off the horse, and was snatched back by his own subordinates.
Zu Zhao shouted loudly and rode up on his war horse.
Wen Chou in the back also came up from behind, chasing and killing the yellow turban thieves who had no morale.
The Yellow Turban Thief, who originally had great self-confidence, suddenly panicked and barely faced the battle, but was torn apart by Zu Zhao with a strong crossbow, and encroached on it step by step, and everywhere he passed was the corpse full of spears, which made the Yellow Turban Thief tremble and flee from Yingxian.
Wen Chou also saw Zu Zhao attack with a strong crossbow for the first time, and the strong lethality killed on people, as simple as tearing a layer of tissue paper, countless corpses were broken into two sections, this kind of strong crossbow is not very heavy, but it is a peerless murder weapon.
Death is not terrible, but the misery of death is really terrible.
In particular, being skewered into meat skewers by spears on strong crossbows is the most terrifying existence.
Zhang Liang was extremely frightened along the way, and was killed by Wen Chou, all those who were killed were beheaded, and almost all of Wen Chou's cavalry had more than a dozen heads tied to their waists, extremely vicious, like a demon god. However, Zu Zhao's cavalry swept away the obstacles with strong crossbows, crushed and pushed all the way, and those who blocked became hedgehogs.
Like a rabbit, Zhang Liang chased a soldier and horse to Jizhou City, Zhang Liang originally had 5,000 people, and when he arrived in Jizhou City, there were only 800 people, and the rest were decapitated.
Under the city of Jizhou, there is an official army, and the banner on it is Huangpu Song.
Huangpu Song sat in the big tent, suddenly heard the sound of the cavalry shaking and the two armies fighting, and hurriedly came out to observe, but saw two officers and soldiers chasing and killing a team of yellow turban thieves, the yellow turban thieves were Zhang Liang, who was quite strong in battle, this guy was so embarrassed that if he was not carried by his own soldiers, it was estimated that he would be killed directly.
"Go and ask where this is the official army, why is it so powerful?"
Huangpu Song couldn't help but be surprised, these wine bags and rice bags in Jizhou were pressed and beaten by the yellow turban thieves every day, and they were embarrassed, but this team was mighty, if the teams in Jizhou were like this, the yellow turban thieves would have been defeated long ago.
At this time, Zu Zhao and Wen Chou also came to Huangpu Song's big tent.
I saw Huangpu Song, Zu Zhao and Wen Chou saluted in turn.
"You are Zu Zhao? I heard that you invented a peerless murder weapon, and the yellow turban thief who killed him fled from the wind? As soon as Huangpu Song saw Zu Zhao, he took Zu Zhao's hand and talked cordially, he spoke calmly without the slightest arrogance, and his political level was very high, at least Zu Zhao did not feel the slightest artificiality.
"It's the mark of Zu Zhao, it's just a trail, not a peerless murder weapon, it can kill the enemy even by chance, so that the adults love it, and the mark is terrified!" Zu Zhao was modest, he looked at it and found that the generals in the big tent all had a hostile mood, he killed the Yellow Turban Thief like killing a rabbit, but the other party was killed by the Yellow Turban Thief and had a fight with the rabbit, so that the official army was not too incompetent, but it was because the Yellow Turban Thief's too cunning pretext was completely bankrupt, which did not bring hatred.
Hey, there is a guy who does not have the slightest jealousy, but is very interested, looking at Zu Zhao, there is a show of love on his face, this guy is about thirty years old, he looks extremely elegant, but he is wearing a peerless sword, like a Confucian general.
This guy is sitting here, it is like dropping a piece of gold in the sand, and at this moment it is shining brightly, making it impossible for Zu Zhao not to look at it differently.
"I don't know who this general is?" Zu Zhao felt the need to get to know this guy with a very special temperament.
"Haha, let me introduce to you, this is Cao Mengde, the captain of the military academy, Mengde is a general I am proud of, you should be close to each other!" Huangpu Song admires this white-clothed Confucian very much.
When Zu Zhao heard this name, he was like thunder, the first fierce man in the Three Kingdoms, he didn't expect to see a real person, this guy was among the many extremely stingy generals, he seemed to be open-minded, free and easy, and polite, just this appearance can confuse countless talents to work for it, no wonder he has the achievement of dominating the Three Kingdoms.
Zu Zhao hurriedly bowed his hand: "I have admired Brother Mengde's name for a long time, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but ask strangely, "Zu Zhao has heard of the name of a certain person before?" ”
Zu Zhao thought to himself that Lao Tzu would watch the Three Kingdoms every day in the future generations, why don't you know your name, your name has been passed down through the ages, you don't know? A generation of heroes!
"Brother Meng De's reputation has spread far and wide, I happened to hear an old man who was very longing for you, and I knew Brother Meng De from the mouth of the old man!" Zu Zhao snorted and covered up this problem.
Next, I met with the other generals in the big tent, in Zu Zhao's eyes, the other generals, that is, a group of turtles, when they heard Zu Zhao's name, they had a natural hostility and regarded him as a flood beast.
Wen Chou was also ostracized next to him, and he was treated the same as Zu Zhao.
"Brother Xian, we seem to be being ostracized, you see that they are huddled together, as if they want to isolate us!" Wen Chou whispered on the side.
Zu Zhao nodded, this is to someone else's territory, it is better not to make a public announcement if you can't figure out the situation.
Huangpu Song also seemed to be aware of this, but he smiled silently, and Cao Cao watched the performance of the generals on the sidelines, and also had a mocking expression.
"Since General Zu Zhao, the general of Wenchou, has come to help, we can now divide our troops in many places to eliminate the Yellow Turban Thieves, and we can break them all and strive to destroy the Yellow Turban Thieves in Jizhou as soon as possible!"
Huangpu Song gave a loud military order.
……
Zu Zhao and a general named Wan Side were assigned to Lu County together, Wan Side put on a stinky face from the moment he saw Zu Zhao, did not say anything to Zu Zhao, and responded indifferently to Zu Zhao's accosting and greetings. Full of arrogance, Wang Bawei is drenched.
Zu Zhao and this guy rescued Wang Xian, the county governor of Lu County, whether it was camping or marching along the way, this guy never communicated with Zu Zhao, and Zu Zhao's several suggestions were coldly rejected by him.
Lu Jun soon arrived, and there were 3,000 soldiers and horses besieging Lu Jun outside Lu County.
Seeing that the tears of the officials and soldiers were left, Wang Xian, the magistrate of Lu County, shot arrows from the top of the city, and asked the officials and soldiers to lift the siege of Lu County as soon as possible.
Zu Zhaoce immediately stepped forward and found that the county of Lu County had reached a precarious point. The soldiers on the city walls were all very poor in complexion, and they had a look of food, which was typical of fighting on a hungry stomach. It can be seen that the county has reached a crisis moment when it runs out of ammunition and food.
There were even officers and soldiers who fell directly from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, which was faint from hunger.
In such a state, it is not easy to hold on until now.
"General Wan Side, mark the request to lead the team to battle, and the mark can ensure that a cavalry and archery kung fu can take the road county!" Zu Zhao felt that he could no longer hesitate, the soldiers were impermanent, and the water was impermanent, and he could not tolerate the slightest carelessness.
When Wan Side heard this, his face suddenly had a look of uncertainty. What I thought in my heart was: "Hmph, want to grab military merit?" Want to win big? Where is it so easy? Follow Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will play you to death! ”
Thinking in his heart, his face was very calm, and he said: "Brother Xian, don't be in a hurry, so let Brother Wei go to attack Lu Jun, and you can press the formation in the back!" That's it, no need to talk about it! ”
After that, he got up and left, leaving Zu Zhao to bask in the sun.
"Okay, I'll see how you attack this turtle! Hehe, you respect me a foot, I respect you, you think my ancestor Zhao is so oppressive, hehe, I let you not eat and walk around! ”
Zu Zhao looked at Wan Side's pretending to be fair and selfless, and already had a general plan in his heart, if this guy didn't know how to lift, he would continue to squeeze him, and resolutely teach this guy a lesson, let him know that Ma Wang Ye has three eyes.
The besieged in Lujun County is all the brave people, not even a sycophant, or all the homeless, these guys are very ruthless, everywhere they pass are slaughtering the city and slaughtering the homeless, because they have seen blood, the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, the most important thing is that these guys know how to arrange troops, the horse rejection pile in front of the camp tent, the deer barb, the ditch, and the watchtower made of wooden shelves are all very organized.
It seems that Wan Side saw that there were no cavalry here, so he also felt that it was a very good place to attack.
Kill!
"Kill!"
Wan Side led five thousand cavalry to rush away, and he didn't even have the deployment of dividing his troops to attack the left and right flanks.
The most important feature of cavalry is mobility.
The infantry is better defensive, while the advantage of cavalry is aggressiveness, as long as the left and right flanks are spread, it is like flattening the fruit, slowly weakening the infantry layer by layer, and in the end it can even win without a fight.
But the infantry had clearly dug a trench, put up a horse-repellent deer, and a wooden stake to intercept the cavalry, and had many measures to protect the cavalry, and led the cavalry to crash up, this is idiocy.
In particular, the cavalry led by Wansted did not have stirrups and saddles at all, and the war horses could not leap, so how could they rush through the horse stakes that rejected the horses?
Five thousand cavalry rushed away like a torrent on the opposite side.
Very stupid and powerful, many cavalry luckily rushed through the horse rejecting deer bar, but the horse directly fell into the trench with the front hoof, and the yellow turban thief on the trench stabbed it with a spear brush.
Losing troops is not an ordinary loss.
Five thousand cavalry were forcibly stopped, and the cavalry who died in the trench were all picked up by the golden thieves and placed in front of the horse rejection stake as a horse rejection horse, and even the living cavalry was directly nailed to the horse rejection and howled.
Zu Zhao has already labeled Wan Side, who has lived to middle age and claimed to have led troops for 20 years, as a super idiot, and it is really not worth it to be angry with such a three-country turtle.
Knowing the true material of this guy, Zu Zhao no longer has any idea of win-win cooperation with this guy, this guy has a small belly, since Zu Zhao came here, he has been targeted everywhere, and he just knows that he is stupid and angry, in the Three Kingdoms era when the cavalry dominated, he was killed by a group of brave soldiers and threw away his armor, and it was definitely a super laughing joke to say it.
Zu Zhao sat on the desk for a long time, and did not speak, listening to Wan Side's generals complaining that the trench of the Yellow Turban Thieves was dug too deeply, so that the war horses could not climb up when they fell, and the other party's rejection horses were too high, so that their war horses could not jump over, so that countless war horses directly crashed into the spears installed by the rejection horses.
Complain, only complain.
Does complaining mean that the other party is not stupid? How can it be so difficult to design?
Let our cavalry suffer a big loss!
Zu Zhao almost laughed, traveled to the Three Kingdoms, and finally understood why the Yellow Turban Thieves could wreak havoc for a year, but the Eastern Han Dynasty had no way at all, and the most fundamental reason was that these officials and soldiers had long lost their sharpness. The twilight was dull and morale was gone.
Wan Side sat in the big tent, his face was extremely ugly, he had already seen Zu Zhao's indifferent expression, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
"I want to ask the superintendent to fight, I don't know if it's okay?" Wan Side gave up Zu Zhao's hand, with a hint of a smile on his mean face, he didn't want Zu Zhao to fight, but now he has lost the battle, losing more than 500 cavalry and war horses, if he goes back, he will inevitably be dealt with by military law, and the problem is very serious.
Zu Zhao was holding the tea, and he didn't look at him.
Speaking in a slightly flat tone: "Then please General Wan Side hold his troops still, the virtuous brother doesn't like to mix with mediocre talents when he does things, if I tear this brave guard and enter the city, I will naturally invite you to enter Lujun County when the time comes!" ”
The words are very polite, but they are only polite.
Wan Side was stunned, probably no one had ever dared to speak to him like this, but thinking of Zu Zhao's reputation of winning all battles, he still agreed to Zu Zhao's request.
At midnight, Zu Zhao led the cavalry to ride the Yellow Turban thieves.
This time the number of horses was doubled, and the trenches were dug wider and deeper, and the cavalry could not cross them by their horses, and the defense was very appropriate.
Zu Zhao ordered Hou Yong, Han Dang Zuping led the cavalry to attack the left and right flanks, but he used a melon grenade to bombard Bu Yong hiding in the trench, and the strong crossbow was shot out, once there was Bu Yong's outcrop, he was nailed to death, and there was no difficulty in pushing all the way over, and when Hou Yong Zu Ping attacked from the flank, all the Yellow Turban troops immediately dispersed.
An hour before and after, the battle ended.
The sky was a little brighter, and Zu Zhao met Wang Xian, the county ruler of Lu County, under the city.
"My lord, the Yellow Turban Thieves have already retreated, please open the city gate and let me wait for the soldiers to enter!"
Wang Xian laughed, looking forward to the stars and the moon Finally, he looked forward to the reinforcements, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
personally came down to lead the horse for Zu Zhao, the attitude can be described as sincere, as soon as Zu Zhao turned over and came down, people can make an attitude, and really let that county rule lead the horse, that seems too arrogant.
At this time, Wan Side rushed over bravely with his cavalry, reined in the horse's head and said with the county ruler Wang Xian arched his hand: "Mark Wan Side, it was quite hard to attack the Yellow Turban Thief all the way just now, I can't make love with the adults, and I will enter the city first!" ”
"Wait! Brother Private, please recover the grain and grass discarded by the yellow turban thieves outside the city, otherwise we will have a huge problem when we enter the city, and there will be no grain and grass for the army to fight in the future, and the consequences will be unimaginable! Zu Zhao reminded this idiot not to rob the military merit and solve the worries first.
Wan Side laughed: "The battle with Bu Yong outside the city just now was quite hard, and I need to rest, and the matter of grain and grass will be discussed slowly, I don't think the virtuous brother needs to worry about the grain and grass, now the Yellow Turban Thief has been killed and retreated, compared to the majesty of the Yellow Turban Thief has reached the ears of the Yellow Turban Thief, how dare they come again?" ”
In one sentence, Zu Zhao's eight hundred ghost horsemen's exploits were greedily inked.
Combined with Zu Zhao's battle just now, the result of killing the Yellow Turban Thief was done by him.
I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness.
