235 Contests at the strategic level

The Yellow Turban Uprising was by no means a low-level peasant 'chaos' war.

In fact, from the first appearance of the Yellow Turban, it was a high-level military strategic layout contest, no less than the later warlords Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others.

Dong Zhuo'er's military level, I'm afraid that he doesn't even deserve to carry shoes for Zhang Jiao, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other military masters.

This war was a high-level contest between the Yellow Turban camp led by Zhang Jiao and the most outstanding military masters of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. In terms of tactical details, let's not rush to mention them, let's talk about the strategic layout first.

First of all, let's compare the strategic deployment of the two sides: the strategic layout of the Yellow Turban Army and the strategic layout of the Hanting.

In the layout of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao adopted the plan of "attacking both inside and outside" and "eight states at the same time", that is, to start an incident inside and outside Luoyang at the same time, and to riot together in all local prefectures, with Luoyang as the main offensive target, to encircle and threaten Luoyang from the east, south, and north. After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the momentum was very huge, and it was known as "between the ten days, the world responded, and the Beijing Division shook".

The three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army were distributed in three regions: Julu [Hebei], Yingchuan [Henan], and Wancheng [Jing], and formed three sharp knives based on these three places, trying to penetrate the heart of the Eastern Han Dynasty - Luoyang. The leaders of these three regions are Zhang Jiao, Bocai, and Zhang Mancheng.

The three Zhang Jiao brothers were active in Julu, Jizhou, forming the center of the uprising in the north and the center of the uprising in the whole world. Zhang Mancheng called himself the "Divine Envoy" and led the Yellow Turban Army to fight in Wancheng, Nanyang, Jingzhou, forming the center of the Southern Uprising. Bo Cai, Peng Tuo and others led their troops to fight in the areas of Yingchuan, Runan, and Chen in Yuzhou, and became the main force of the Eastern Uprising.

In modern theory, whoever wins the countryside and peasants in the feudal dynasty will win the world. The eight states rose together, the peasants of the world returned to Zhang Jiao, and more than half of the entire world had actually fallen into Zhang Jiao's control, and the Han court was not far from extinction.

Zhang Jiao was not satisfied, his goal was to destroy the Eastern Han court in Luoyang in one fell swoop.

In fact, this goal of smashing the dragon's nest should have been completed by Ma Yuanyi, a general of the Yellow Turban, who was engaged in the east and west in Luoyang, that is, to carry out a major uprising in Luoyang, if successful, the Eastern Han Dynasty would be directly destroyed. It's a pity that before the Yellow Turban Uprising, Ma Yuanyi was betrayed by the traitor Tang Zhou, and the "revolution" died ahead of schedule before the outbreak of the "revolution", losing the opportunity to directly destroy the Luoyang Han Court, and also "disrupted" the first perfect layout of the Yellow Turban Army.

Ma Yuanyi's unexpected early death gave Han Ting a chance to breathe and made the Yellow Turban suffer a big setback. But it doesn't matter, one hero who plays with his life dies, and there are three heroes left. In terms of strategic layout, the Yellow Turban Army formed an encirclement of Luoyang in three directions, and still held the initiative in the offensive. As long as Luoyang is captured and the Han court is destroyed, I am afraid that the world will completely change its "color" and be replaced by Zhang Jiao to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Let's take a look at the strategic layout of the Han Court of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the Han Court is decayed and mediocre, there is absolutely no shortage of talented politicians and military masters.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw that Zhang Jiao was so powerful, and hurriedly took He Jin as the general, and led the five battalions of Yulin to be stationed in Duting, and ordered weapons on the whole to guard the Beijing Division; In addition, from the Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Kopingjin and other Kyoto Passes, set up the garrison of the Commandery; He ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels.

——As soon as Emperor Ling of Han made this move, he immediately resolved the crisis of being directly captured by the Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang, and began to prepare for force. It is impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to wave troops in Luoyang in an instant and destroy the Han Court in Luoyang. Emperor Han Ling's throne was a little more secure, which bought time for the Han court.

Immediately, a large number of loyal military ministers of the Han court appeared one after another.

Huangfu Song admonished him, demanding that the ban on the party be lifted, and that he take out the palace money and the good horses of the West Garden and give them to the sergeants to boost morale. Lü Qiang also said to Emperor Ling and issued an edict to lift the "party ban" in order to alleviate the contradictions within the ruling group. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty immediately accepted the proposal, granted amnesty to the party members on Renzi Day, returned the migrants, asked the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and recommended the descendants of the generals and people with deep strategies to the bus bureau for interviews.

As soon as this move came out, Han Ting immediately won over the hearts of a group of the most talented people in the world, such as the gate valve, the scholars, and the Han scholars. Han Ting suddenly came to life when he was terminally ill and took a stimulant injection.

Now, Zhang Jiao has the help of the vast peasant class, the Lingdi has the help of the vast number of wealthy families, scholars, and Han scholars, and the two terrifying bosses are extraordinary.

Who can fight who in the end?

It's hard to say what the future holds.

The soldiers and horses at the bottom of the two sides began to fight, and the whole world was "chaotic", and the situation on the main battlefield in the eight states was particularly chaotic. In the morning, this city is still the imperial court, and at night it may become a yellow turban, the mountains are full of yellow turban troops, and the city is full of imperial court guards, how to fight this kind of "chaotic" war?

In this kind of chaos, ordinary people can't sort out their thoughts from it, and they can't figure out how to fight this battle. However, the level of the military masters of the imperial court is superb, and they quickly cut through the "chaos" and hemp, and they hit the key point with one knife.

Emperor Ling sat firmly on the dragon chair, and after forming a complete self-defense line of Luoyang City, at this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty began to mobilize troops on a large scale to counterattack the rebel army. As soon as it was struck, it was another large-scale military strategic layout.

The great general He Jin, sent the three super fierce generals of the Han Court to the expedition, Huangfu Song [Zhongzhong Lang General], Lu Zhi [Right Zhonglang General], Zhu Jun [Beizhong Lang General], each led countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and set off from Luoyang in three routes, and at the same time crusaded against the three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army.

The dispatch of the three-way army of Hanting is very particular.

The three main forces of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao, Bocai, and Zhang Mancheng, all posed a serious threat to the Han court in Luoyang. However, there are priorities in the military situation.

At that time, the Bocai rebel army active in the Yingchuan area posed a direct threat to Luoyang, so the Han court appointed Zhongzhong Lang General Huangfu Song and Right Zhonglang General Zhu Jun to lead the two main forces into this battlefield. First concentrate the superior forces and destroy the most dangerous henchmen closest to Luoyang. For the Jizhou area in the center of the uprising, Lu Zhi, the general of the Northern Army, led the five captains of the Northern Army to suppress it. For Zhang Mancheng's rebel army in the Wancheng area, the Han court did not have enough main forces, so the local county soldiers strengthened the defense and temporarily took the defensive.

- As soon as this trick comes out, it is fierce and spicy. The Han court implemented this strategic policy of first defending and then suppressing, preparing for both offense and defense, concentrating superiority, attacking with key points, and breaking through one by one, which won the strategic essentials of military layout. It shows that they are definitely a group of military masters with experienced ruling experience and military qualities, and they still maintain a very high military level and are quite fierce and cunning.

At this point, the two sides each made a big move, and the first round of strategic competition was basically over. When Zhang Jiao made a move, he occupied a strategic advantage. After Hanting made a move, he regained some of the strategic decline. In general, the Han court began to occupy a small strategic advantage by virtue of the superb political and military standards of the civil and military ministers.

The situation remains uncertain.

At this time, the two sides no longer have much room for strategic adjustment, and time does not allow them to make more strategic preparations.

The two sides began to face each other and fight to the death on a tactical level.

......

On February 16, 184 (7 o'clock), the army set out.

Zhan Xiaobai is wearing light armor and a sharp sword at the crotch of the wild horse king, and there are 6 NPC tigers riding behind him, and there is no food and grass logistics support. Together with the filial piety player troops, he followed the imperial court all the way to the army. All the way to the army, it was the army led by Zhongzhong Lang's general Huangfu Song who rushed to Yingchuan to defeat the Bocai army.

The reason why he chose to follow this road of the imperial army is very simple - this way can establish military merit the fastest.

The contest between Han Ting and Zhang Jiao is the most critical first main battlefield.

He certainly won't miss the show.

Zhan Xiaobai chose to follow Huangfu Song to Yingchuan, and many players also chose to enter the Yingchuan battlefield.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun transferred a total of five schools of the Northern Army (five schools of the Northern Army, which are the main standing forces of the central government, namely the Tun cavalry, the Yue cavalry, the infantry, Changshui, and the guards of the five captains of the "shooting" sound, and the Sanhe cavalry (Hedong, Hanoi, and Henan, and at the same time recruit strong men, totaling more than 40,000 NPCs. Zhu Jun asked Sun Jian to serve as the Sima of the Zuo Army. Sun Jian recruited some soldiers in the Huai and Si areas, plus the young people from the same township who followed him on an errand in Xiapi County, and obtained more than 1,000 elite soldiers to fight with Zhu Jun. If you add Cao Cao, who came to reinforce not long after, and the three brothers Liu Bei. This army can be called a gathering of NPC celebrities, and the scenery is infinitely good.

In addition to a group of NPC historical generals, the strength of the player troops accompanying the army should not be underestimated.

Zhan Xiaobai, Silent Sword, Prosperous Han and Tang, Xiaoye....... Warring States World, Blue Devil Tears ......, more than 30 players are filial piety, hundreds of village chiefs, hundreds of army leaders, gang leaders, 30,000 scattered players, and more than 100,000 NPC soldiers are also on the way. There are many more players, all over the battlefield in Yuzhou.

Among the miscellaneous armies of the players in the court camp, only a small number are cavalry, the vast majority are infantry, and there are many logistics soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, all of whom walk slowly on their feet. The speed of the march of the Great Army depends on the slowest troops, not the fastest. Because of the need to ensure the safety of logistics, the army advanced very slowly, only moving more than 40 or 50 miles a day.

However, there is no need to worry about players having nothing to do along the way, after leaving Luoyang City, there are too many Yellow Turban Villages along the way, densely packed all over the Sili and Yuzhou Plains. There are NPC Yellow Turbans everywhere, Yellow Turban NPC Villages, and Player Yellow Turban Villages, not to mention hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is enough to choke on this way.

Cavalry players who run fast, of course, will take advantage of the march to "clear" all the Yellow Turban villages along the way. First, you can make a little military feats, and secondly, after breaking through the village, you can loot property, food and grass, and take away everything you can take away. No matter how bad it is, killing the NPC Yellow Turban Soldier can also burst out a little copper coins, food, etc., barely filling the military food gap.

Zhan Xiaobai's 70-level tiger team only brought food for ten days, and without the help of the law, they could only "supply" in the Yellow Turban Village on the spot. He didn't attack the village with the players of the Imperial Court, but once the Yellow Turban Village was broken by the army, he was definitely the first to rush into the village to grab food, and no one's horses could run faster than his Tiger Cavalry troops.

Of course, no one dared to stop him. Regardless of the small number of his NPC troops, there are almost no players who are not afraid of his Tiger Horse. What is the concept of a level 70 tiger ride! NPC guards used by the Emperor to travel. Tiger Rider against other low-level troops, melee combat is almost an instant kill. Six Tiger Riders are enough for him to run amok in a motley army of players. Players who don't have hundreds of troops don't dare to approach him easily.

Tiger Rider: Level 70.

Genus "Sexuality":

Force value between 20-30. The special types of troops in the forbidden military camp, such as fierce tigers and beasts, are extremely fierce. Skills: 1. Tiger Roar [Advanced Shock], 2. Proficient in Cavalry [Dash, Ride 'Shot']. 3. Tiger Slash [+90 Attack]. The consumption of grain is 10 kg/day, and the consumption of copper is 200 pieces/day.

Tiger Rider Set: (This set is exclusive to Tiger Rider and cannot be removed.) Very low chance of plummeting. ）

Level 50 Tiger Ben Helmet [The overall cast black iron helmet is mostly used by high-level warriors, the surface is smooth and can allow the arrows to slide away, and there are lines on the cheeks, which is as fierce as a tiger.] ]

Level 50 Tiger Armor [Darkiron armor covered with heavy steel plates on the chest, abdomen, and back provides better protection, but due to its heavierness, it is rarely used]

Level 50 Tiger Ben Armor Piercing Gun [The barrel of the gun is nine feet long, of which the head of the gun is one foot three inches long, and its blade is three inches of steel, which is extremely sharp and can penetrate heavy armor]

Level 50 Tiger Horse, Level 50 Tiger Boots, Level 50 Tiger Bow Piercing Cloud.

Zhan Xiaobai's six tiger horsemen, all of whom are above 25 in force, although they have little intelligence and cannot carry out complex orders, they are absolutely easy to fight..... Loot up, better make.

Zhan Xiaobai didn't need them to fight, and specialized in robbing extremely valuable items that were exploded by the NPC leaders of the Yellow Turban Village: such as drawings, books, treasures, and the like. Ordinary things, low-level weapons, cloth, ceramics, etc., he didn't bother to pick them up, saving weight. It's all over to the brothers.

But as long as it is favored by him, as soon as he makes a move, the thing will definitely fall into his hands.

Zhan Xiaobai didn't make many moves, and in three or four days, he robbed dozens of Yellow Turban villages, and robbed two Yellow Turban Taoist books, three drawings, a number of Yellow Turban Talismans, and dozens of copper coins. In addition, there are dozens of horses, a number of good weapons, and a number of various items, which are too important, and are sold to other players for copper coins. There can be about a dozen times, which is also a small fortune.

Players such as Warring States World and Blue Devil Tears are also level 30 light cavalry with a clear "color", and Liangzhou players such as Zhan Xiaobai are looting everywhere.

Sheng Shi Han Tang saw Zhan Xiaobai coming and going in a hurry, robbing everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh: "I knew that I would spend more money, and it would be good to buy him dozens of tiger ben to ride back, which is trouble-free and easy to use." He looked at his troops: a tiger ben, fifty level 30 armor soldiers, a hundred level 30 archers, some military doctors, grain and grass soldiers, etc., and walked slowly. He was worried that his soldiers would suffer losses in the chaos, so he did not dare to send his troops out to loot. Now I can only look at it with my eyes blank and shake my head helplessly.

The silent sword next to him asked, "Brother Han Tang, didn't you buy a tiger ben?" Why don't you send it out to rob? ”

Sheng Shi Hantang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I bought it to save my life." Besides, if I take him to rob, what will happen to the rest of my troops? Forget it, let's wait until we get to the main battlefield, a group of small soldiers is much more lethal than six cavalry. By the way, Brother Silence, how is your village now? Your village is near Xudu, not far from Yingchuan. ”

The silent sword shook his head and replied: "There are some losses, but there are many imperial court player villages in that area, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army is attacking the system city again, and my village can still hold on." As soon as our army arrived, the crisis was lifted. Yingchuan, the NPCs in this place are very tough, how can they be so easy to occupy. ”

Yingchuan County, Qinzhi, five hundred miles southeast of Luoyang.

In the Han Dynasty, private schools were all over the Central Plains, especially in Yingchuan. Many celebrities and scholars have set up museums to teach apprentices. It can be described as a concentration of talents in the three countries and is known as the "cradle" of celebrities. Dozens of wealthy families: Chen, Zhong, Guo, Chu.... Everywhere. Sima Hui, Zhong Xuan, Zhong Hui, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, Xun You, Chen Qun, Xu Shu, Chun Yuqiong、......。

At the beginning of March, the crusading army led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun arrived in the area of Yingchuan and began to make contact with the small peripheral forces of the Yellow Turban Army in Bocai.

On the way of the march, you can hear reports on the battle situation in various places broadcast by the system.

"Frontline Battle Report: Runan Yellow Turban Army defeated NPC Taishou Zhao Qian in Shaoling!"

"Frontline Battle Report: Guangyang Yellow Turban Army Kills Youzhou NPC Assassin Shi Guo Xun and NPC Taishou Liu Wei!"

"Frontline Report: ......"

"Front-line battle report: Cheng Yuanzhi commanded 50,000 troops to invade the boundary of Youzhou, and Liu Yan, the Taishou of Youzhou, heard that the thieves were coming, and went out to recruit volunteers."
