Chapter 528: Bow your head
According to the agreement between the two parties, all the prisoners in the mission to pacify the Yellow Turbans belonged to Feng Xiang.
The reason why Zang Hong agreed to such a condition was because he had already learned about the past war history between the Qingzhou Mansion and the Yellow Turban Army before this, "The combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is actually so strong, especially one or two generals are very powerful, even if the state government occasionally wins, it is not a big victory, let alone how many prisoners are captured, there is nothing to do at all!" ”
What Zang Hong didn't know was that the reason why the troops were so smooth this time and were able to capture so many prisoners was simply the result of the agreement reached between Ah Niu and the fat dragon baby. Feng Xiang has already delivered 2,000 sets of two-stone rhubarb crossbows to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and these prisoners are the "reward" that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army should pay to Feng Xiang!
"I don't know if our private delivery of the population will be counted in the task, for the sake of safety, just hand it over to me on the battlefield, anyway, all the prisoners in this battle will belong to me Fengxiang." This was Ah Niu's original idea.
After the battle, Zang Hong soon realized that the situation was not right, and the troops of the state capital swept through the yellow turban with a devastating momentum, and the prisoners captured in the first two days were more than the total capture of the state capital in the first half of the year!
"How could this be!!"
Many veterans of the state capital who had fought against the Yellow Turban Army for a long time were dumbfounded, thinking that these captives would soon have nothing to do with him, Zang Hong's heart ached, "These captives are all productive forces and soldiers!" ”
People die for money, birds die for food, and now Zang Hong is bent on forming his own forces, so he naturally values these captives more seriously. In the end, Zang Hong still couldn't resist the temptation, and "discussed" with a certain city lord who went out with the army, hoping that everyone could re-determine the prisoner distribution plan.
From Zang Hong's point of view, such a request is understandable, and there are too many prisoners.
Of course, it was impossible for Ah Niu to give away what originally belonged to him, so he rejected Zang Hong's suggestion in one bite, "Since everyone has already made a decision, I'm afraid it's not good to change it temporarily." ”
Zang Hong's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Since this is the case, then I am not good at making it difficult for others." Judging from the combat situation in the past few days, the Yellow Turban Army is vulnerable, and I have decided to divide the troops into two routes starting tomorrow, with the state capital troops and the Fengxiang army fighting separately. This can not only speed up the pacification of chaos, but also calm the mouth of the army, proving that the Fengxiang Army has indeed built enough combat exploits in this battle! ”
Zang Hong thought that he could take an army of a certain city lord, but in his opinion, even if the flying wing battalion was strong and brave, the five hundred cavalry would never dare to leave the large army to fight alone. If Niu does not agree, then he will have to make concessions on the issue of the prisoners.
To his surprise, a certain city lord agreed without hesitation.
"As Lord Thorn said."
After Zang Hong left, the smile immediately disappeared from Ah Niu's face, replaced by a thick disdain, "The Yellow Turban Army is vulnerable? I really thought it was my own ability! You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! ”
In Ah Niu's view, the ownership of the captives is no longer just a matter of Feng Xiang's bleeding, but whether Feng Xiang has an equal status when cooperating with the state government in the future. Moreover, a certain city lord thinks that he has the obligation to let Zang Hong know the importance of "keeping promises", at least when dealing with Feng Xiang, he must have this good habit, people can't stand without trust!
Under the operation of a certain city lord, this exercise quickly changed from a "comprehensive fake fight" to a "partial real fight"!
The next day, Feng Xiangjun really left the brigade as promised, and Zang Hong also said pretendedly, "I hope that the city lord of Aniu will have a smooth journey, and Hong is waiting for Feng Xiang's male to return victorious!" ”
"Each other, each other!" A certain city lord smiled lightly.
At noon, Zang Hong's troops showed the traces of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army, which numbered more than 2,000 people, saw that the army of the state capital was coming, and immediately threw away their armor and rushed to the sky and the earth. It seemed that everything was the same as a few days ago, and Zang Hong sent troops in pursuit.
This is a pursuit that Zang Hong regrets, and Zang Hong is ambushed!
After letting go of half of the state army, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army suddenly launched a fierce attack on the state capital troops from both sides. Zang Hong finally saw the true combat power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and returned defeated!
The results were disastrous.
In the battle, the 15,000 troops pursued by the state capital lost nearly 3,000 people, and even Zang Hong himself was hit by a stray arrow and was almost captured.
Just when Zang Hong fled back to the station in disgrace, he got another unexpected news: the Fengxiang army had returned victoriously, and the 500 Flying Wing Battalion had captured more than 800 prisoners! This result is tantamount to giving Zang Hong a resounding slap in the face!
A certain city lord was not proud of his achievements at all, but was very "empathetic" to comfort Zang Hong, "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the assassination of Lord Shi is just a momentary carelessness." If it weren't for Lord Assassin's troops attracting the attention of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, the Flying Wing Battalion would not have been able to achieve such a feat. ”
Another red sun had risen, and the third day had arrived.
In the defeat the day before, Zang Hong did not think that the Yellow Turban Army was too strong in combat, no matter who successfully ambushed with superior troops, it was too simple to win a victory. This time, Zang Hong, who had learned a lesson, fought steadily, and even if the Yellow Turban Army feinted to lure the enemy several times, the state capital troops would never take the enemy lightly.
"That should be fine!" Zang Hong thought.
But he still underestimated the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and the fat dragon baby saw that Zang Hong was cautious in his use of troops, and it was difficult to succeed in the sneak attack, so he simply asked Guan Hai and Du Yuanqin to lead the main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to find Zang Hong for a decisive battle.
Guan Hai's bravery, the state government troops are invincible!
Another thing that made Zang Hong unhappy was that the thousand crossbowmen he valued most and regarded as the Dinghai Divine Needle were all wiped out. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has the most advanced two-stone rhubarb crossbow on the market, and the troops equipped with the one-stone rhubarb crossbow have passed the state capital regardless of range and attack power!
Under such circumstances, it was unreasonable for the state government troops not to suffer defeat, and Zang Hong was defeated again. After these two battles, Zang Hong no longer had the aura he had when he was looking for Ah Niu to be captured a few days ago, and his whole person was like an eggplant that had just been beaten by frost, languishing.
The Fengxiang army returned victoriously again, this time the flying wing battalion brought back more than 1,000 prisoners, and the cheers of the Fengxiang men were in stark contrast to the gloom of the state army.
Just when Zang Hong was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, a certain city board came to the door with a face, and said mercilessly: "Lord Assassin Shi ignored the agreement negotiated by the two sides in advance, and tried in vain to unilaterally change the distribution method of prisoners of war. Ah Niu thinks that Feng Xiang's continued participation in this operation is purely a waste of time and is meaningless, so he plans to lead his troops back to Feng Xiang early tomorrow morning, and he has come to bid farewell to the adults. ”
Ah Niu proposed his resignation at this time, which obviously made Zang Hong very uncomfortable, and the timing was very accurate.
Zang Hong's move to pacify the Yellow Turban Army was originally to figure out this series of military actions and consolidate his position in Qingzhou, so as to lay the foundation for the actual control of Qingzhou in the future. The prospect is good, but we must compose a splendid future with one victory after another, and even after losing the battle, Zang Hong must do his best to reverse the decline, otherwise all hope will be in vain.
The fiasco of these two days made Zang Hong deeply feel the strength of the Yellow Turban Army's combat effectiveness, as well as the intelligence network they had been mixed with in Qingzhou for a long time (Zang Hong never thought that Ah Niu would leak the movements of the state capital troops to the Yellow Turban Army, and thought that the intelligence network of the Yellow Turban Army was too efficient), Zang Hong no longer had the confidence before the expedition. If the Feng Xiang Army, which has frequent good news, is allowed to leave at this time, Zang Hong's plan to quell the chaos will have no chance of success!
That would mean that Zang Hong's efforts to get rid of Yuan's control were all in vain!
Zang Hong absolutely could not afford such an outcome.
Therefore, even if a certain city lord directly stated that he had passed Zang Hong, he could only endure it, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi lowered his head highly, apologized to Ah Niu for the ownership of prisoners of war, and asked a certain city lord to "put national affairs first, give up the previous suspicion and wave the army to fight again!" ”
Ah Niu didn't really want to quit, he just wanted to give Zang Hong a "longer memory", and now that the goal has been achieved, Ah Niu has no reason to get along with the task reward, so he hurriedly got off the donkey.
However, after insisting on killing Yuan Tan in the market last time, and after the withdrawal turmoil this time, Zang Hong finally summed up his experience: The Fengxiang City Lord, who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, must not be provoked!
After reconciling with a certain city lord, Zang Hong's bad luck finally came to an end.
The Flying Wing Battalion's cousin was too "magical", and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, which had beaten the state capital troops to the ground, was helpless under the attack of this cavalry force of only 500 men. The "cavalry shooting" tradition of the troops, coupled with Zhao Yun's personal leadership, as long as the Flying Wing Battalion is not surrounded to death, any unit is a live target under their attack, and can only be beaten and unable to counterattack!
Of course, it is impossible for the fat dragon baby to trap Ah Niu's troops, and the Flying Wing Battalion is "invincible".
Over time, the reputation of the "invincible cavalry" of the Flying Wing Battalion was recognized by the officers of the state capital, and there was a saying among the state troops: if you want to have a lot of captures on the battlefield without any risk, just follow the ass of the Flying Wing Battalion!
No one thought that there was anything wrong with Feng Xiang getting all the prisoners of war, and even if someone occasionally leaked his mouth, he would be immediately held down and beaten by his companions.
On the seventeenth day of the dispatch, the coalition forces successfully "forced" the main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army out of the country.
Mission accomplished! (To be continued)
