Chapter 120: Qian County
"My lord, the imperial court actually asked you to go north to Yanzhou to take over the work of Huangfu Song, it seems that the news of Huangfu Song's fiasco in Xiangyi is true. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
When the servant who had passed the decree was gone, Guo Jia couldn't help frowning.
Feng Yi nodded and said: "Yes, Huangfu Song was originally in order, but unexpectedly, he stepped into the trap carefully arranged by the Yellow Turban and ambushed him in Xiangyi;
As a result, the 700,000 army lost a small half, if it were not for Huangfu Song's stability, I am afraid that it is still a question whether the army can return to Chen Liudu safely. β
"The appointment of the imperial court to let the lord take over the Eastern Front to suppress the Yellow Turban seems to be a generous reward, but it is actually a suppression.
After all, the order to purge Yanzhou and Qingzhou within a month is too strict for ordinary people to do.
It seems that they are really not going to die for the lord. β
Guo Jia shook his head and sighed.
Feng Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't there still you Guo Fengxiao?" I don't believe I won't be able to take those two counties in a month. β
Guo Jia suddenly rolled his eyes angrily.
"I said, my lord, if you don't reach the task within a month, you will be beheaded! You can still laugh now? β
Feng Yi's expression was straight, and he said solemnly:
"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. It's a big opportunity, and being able to lead the team on your own is extremely important for shaping our image.
If the goal can be successfully accomplished, it will not only be able to improve the status again, but also be able to spread majesty and favor, which is extremely important for taking over the Eastern Han Dynasty in the future.
I can't let go of such an opportunity.
As for how to do it, this is to ask for filial piety! β
Guo Jia also put away his smiling face and said to Feng Yi seriously: "So far, I can only do my best."
The reason why Huangfu Song was defeated miserably should be that he did not expect the existence of a Yellow Turban Army.
Zhang Yan, the handsome man who suddenly appeared, is not only an elite sergeant, but also a lot of good generals;
After he joined forces with Bu Si, the total strength of the Yellow Turbans in the east had reached more than 1.7 million.
There are only more than 500,000 Han troops left on the East Road, and now most of them are gathered in Chenliu.
Although the imperial court asked the lord to select 50,000 cavalry commanders in the Han army on the southern route, it was still a drop in the bucket, and it was still far from comparable in terms of numbers.
Therefore, we can only outwit, not forcefully touch.
At present, the main force of the Yellow Turbans on the East Road is concentrated in Xiangyi, Waihuang and Jiyin, forming an iron line to firmly control the eastern part of Chenliu County;
And in the rear there is also the city of Kaocheng as a logistics supply city for grain and grass.
We need to use the attention of the Yellow Turban to be attracted by the main force of the Han army left by Chen, and launch a fatal blow to it from behind! β
Feng Yi suddenly perked up, and asked expectantly, "From behind?" β
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Yes!" Since the imperial court promised us that we could choose 50,000 cavalry, this opportunity could not be wasted.
We selected 50,000 elite cavalry, and then detoured to the southeast of Qian County, and then after resting from Qian County, we went north to Jiwu City, the southern border city of Chenliu County.
The enemy forces in Jiwu City are sparsely frequent, but you should also be careful to leak rumors in the process of taking it.
As long as we can take Jiwu City quietly, then we can let Chen Liu's main force go out of the city to feign to attack Waihuang to attract the attention of the Yellow Turbans, and on the other hand, we can lead the cavalry to attack the Kaocheng in the rear.
If the city is broken, the enemy will inevitably divide their troops to help, because it is their logistics center.
At this time, the main force of our army can turn a feint attack into a real attack and attack Waihuang!
As long as you can firmly hold the city and resist the onslaught of the enemy, you can continue to attract enemy troops to help.
In this case, Kaocheng will definitely serve as a magnet, constantly weakening the superiority of the enemy's main force.
The crux of the matter is whether we can hold the test city and for how long. β
Feng Yi nodded secretly, this method is indeed advisable, as for the persistence of Kaocheng......
Feng Yi thought seriously for a while, and then spoke: "It seems that it is time for Zi Xiaowei to show his face."
In addition, the forging of the Storm Ballista has made a lot of progress, and it is not impossible to hold the city. β
Guo Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Zi Xiaowei, as the most relied on and valued force of the lord, he rarely touched it, because he knew that it was the tightest string in the lord's heart, and the slightest touch would cause a strong vigilance.
He didn't want the lord to have any doubts about himself because of this, so if he couldn't mention it, he wouldn't mention it.
It's just that no matter how good an army is, it also needs to go through the baptism of blood and fire, and only in this way can it be carved into a piece of flawless jade.
But Zixiao Wei is rarely sent to the battlefield, and it is not possible to continue like this. Guo Jia can only turn around the corner to remind.
"Another point, my lord, Xun's uncles and nephews are all unborn talents, but this expedition can justifiably recruit them to accompany the army."
Feng Yi nodded approvingly, and said: "Not only them, but Chen Tai and Zhong Hui are also good materials, and they are also on my list of recruits this time." β
Guo Jia smiled lightly, it seems that the lord has already set his eyes on these people.
Zhu Jun and Cao Cao were also rewarded, but they were all material, but their official positions were not promoted.
Both of them were ordered to continue purging the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the southern regions of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou.
With his current identity and righteous status, Feng Yi successfully recruited Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Hui and Chen Tai, and took a trip to Chen Liu, arranged the four in the army, and let Xun Yu and Xun Yu take charge of the army on their behalf.
After returning to Changshe from the teleportation array, Feng Yi took 50,000 cavalry with three days' rations for the army, and then left the city to the south.
He didn't mention the goal of going here, and Zhu Jun and the others didn't ask.
Within a month deadline, the enemies of Yanzhou and Qingzhou will be eliminated, and if they can't do it, they will be beheaded.
Under such a military order, Zhu Jun and the others were very worried about Feng Yi's prospects.
After all, such orders can no longer be described as harsh;
Even though Feng Yi had already shown superhuman command ability and extraordinary resourcefulness before, no one had the slightest confidence.
Because they were two large states, Chenliu County alone had gathered 1.7 million Yellow Turban soldiers, while Feng Yi only had more than 500,000 soldiers in his hands......
If there is no time limit, then with Feng Yi's means, it should be possible. But for a month, it's a bit of a fantasy.
Peiguo, Qian County.
Chen Ben looked at the dense army outside the city with some sorrow.
These Yellow Turban soldiers are really persistent enough, and they still refuse to give up after three days of fighting.
Most of the soldiers in the city have already been lost, and the rest are all disabled, if it weren't for the township brave to come forward, I'm afraid that Qian County would have fallen long ago.
Of course, the most important thing to thank is the strong man who is brave and incomparable, as if he does not know what is tireless.
Thinking of this, Chen Ben looked at the big man who was still mechanically wielding the iron machete in his hand with a calm face.
As a county magistrate, Chen Ben only learned a few days ago that there was such a mighty and righteous man in this county.
If it weren't for him, I am afraid that this county would not be able to hold out for even a day.
It's just that now, there are less than 3,000 warriors left in the city, but there are still 50,000 or 60,000 yellow turbans outside the city, and the city wall has long been dilapidated.
Chen Ben couldn't help but sigh secretly, looking at the corpses everywhere, his eyes were full of sadness.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.
Listening to that voice, there must be at least tens of thousands.
Chen Ben couldn't help but be even more desperate, he had long been out of hope for reinforcements from the imperial court, because there were yellow scarves everywhere, where could the imperial court take care of it?
I think it's the Yellow Turban's reinforcements coming again.
It's just that what disaster has happened to my county, and why does the yellow scarf covet it so much?
The village warriors who were tired and fighting bravely at the head of the city were in good spirits, and although they didn't dare to expect it, they still imagined that it was the imperial court reinforcements that came.
And the Yellow Turban soldiers who killed the head of the city were hesitant for a while, they didn't hear that the Holy Army still had reinforcements, could it be the Han Army reinforcements who came?
But there is no sign of Han army activity around......
As the sound of shaking got closer and closer, the banner held high finally appeared in the eyes of the crowd at the head of the city.
When the banner decorated with the word "Han" jumped out in the wind, a hoarse cheer suddenly sounded on the city.
What is Desperate Survival? And this is!
Killing the panicked Yellow Turban soldiers down the city, almost everyone burst into tears of excitement.
originally thought that death was inevitable, but he didn't expect another village. This feeling of being in a desperate situation is simply indescribable.
"Kill!"
The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded, and the cavalry torrent instantly penetrated into the Yellow Turban queue like a rolling wave, like a peerless sword, unstoppable!
was originally defenseless, and this cavalry was extremely brave, under the leadership of the first few tiger generals, a huge hole was torn from the back of the yellow turban in an instant.
The horse's hooves burst out, screaming continuously, and at the moment when the flag was cut off, the entire Yellow Turban Array suddenly scattered, and once this collapse was generated, it would be irreparable.
In grief and despair, the Yellow Turban soldiers scattered and fled, but they were constantly ravaged and slashed by Iron Hoof.
After more and more cavalry joined, the Yellow Turban soldiers, who saw no hope of escape, had to surrender on their knees.
The crisis of breaking the city was solved, and Chen Ben cried excitedly.
For this sudden appearance of the Han army, everyone is grateful.
Riding a war horse towards the city gate, Feng Yi felt helpless for a while.
Originally, it was planned to replenish grain in Qian County, but who would have thought that such a situation would be encountered?
Looking at the traces of the battle on the city wall, I'm afraid that this battle has been going on for several days, and the food and straw in the city have already been insufficient, right?
Fortunately, a lot of rations were piled up in the Yin and Yang Ring, otherwise it would have been really difficult.
The gates opened, and some haggard, ragged crowds rushed out of the city.
Looking at these soldiers who were mentally exhausted and had different physical injuries, but their eyes were exceptionally bright and firm, Feng Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
The county order or military attache here should be very bloody, otherwise under the siege of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, let alone defending it for so long, I am afraid that it is possible to open the door and surrender. (To be continued.) )
