Chapter 386: Soldiers Crossing the Border
When Xiao Wu brought in with Tian Feng, Zhang Yi's first reaction was that he should have a good helper again, but after seeing the two of them unkempt and ragged, Zhang Yi realized that the other party was not good, otherwise it would be impossible to be like this after getting acquainted with Xiao Wu, and it was even more impossible for Xiao Wu not to change their clothes or wash their faces before bringing these two people, the reason why the two appeared in front of them like this was definitely because they rejected Xiao Wu's kindness, so Zhang Yi began to think about it after seeing the two. How to bring the two of them under his command, after thinking about it, Zhang Yi thought of the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The two gentlemen are exempt," he didn't care about helping the two of them up, Zhang Yi said happily: "Jizhou trial and Tian Feng, the name of the two gentlemen, I Zhang Yi have long known, and now I can see the two gentlemen with my own eyes, it is really Zhang Yi's third life is a blessing, come, the two gentlemen, please sit." ”
Zhang Yi's words were from the bottom of his heart, and the expression on his face was naturally extremely sincere, but after the judge and Tian Feng saw his appearance, there was no move on his face, and he did not sit in a chair as Zhang Yi expected, and after the two glanced at each other, they actually sat down on the spot.
After seeing the expressions and actions of the two, Zhang Yi said in his heart: These two guys are really stones in the pit, smelly and hard, no, Lao Tzu has to take you down, if you don't take you down, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Zhang!
While slandering the two of them in his heart, Zhang Yi was also thinking about how to appease the two, and finally he decided that the host would follow the guests and brake quietly.
Looking at the two people sitting on the ground, Zhang Yi smiled slightly embarrassedly: "The two gentlemen seem to be unaccustomed to sitting on this new type of chair, so it's okay, I haven't sat on the ground for a long time." ”
While speaking, Zhang Yi actually sat on the ground in the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Lord, you are the commander of the first army!"
"Big brother, you are the Hou Ye, how can you sit on the ground?!"
"Brother Tian, you ......"
Zhang Yi, the commander of the first army, the marquis of the imperial title, actually sat on the ground in front of everyone, which surprised everyone, and even the judge and Tian Feng opened their eyes in surprise, they didn't expect Zhang Yi to really sit on the ground with them.
"Okay, you all shut up," waving his hand to signal everyone to shut up, Zhang Yi smiled and said to the judge and Tian Feng: "The talent of the two gentlemen, Tianshao knows, but I also know that the two gentlemen have been very disappointed in the current situation, otherwise with the talents of the two gentlemen, they would not have been without an official and a half-post until now, let alone fall to such a point." ”
Zhang Yi's words are obviously touting the trial and Tian Feng, which anyone can hear, it stands to reason that a civilian like the trial and Tian Feng, when he is praised by a powerful court minister like Zhang Yi, even if he doesn't speak, there should be some expression on his face, but the two of them have no expression at all, just like two wooden people, which makes Zhang Yi feel pain when he sees it.
Just when Zhang Yi was secretly depressed, the judge suddenly spoke: "The adults have praised it falsely, the two of us are just a cloth cloth, they are ordinary people, and they don't have any talent as adults say." ”
"Fuck it!"
After listening to the words of the trial, Zhang Feideng, who had a bad temper, became angry.
Staring at the Tongling-like eyes, Zhang Fei, who was on fire, said angrily: "You two are really shameless, do you really think you have any great talent?" How capable are you, and how capable is my eldest brother? Since my eldest brother became the Taishou of Hedong County, in terms of local political achievements, the people of Hedong County have never eaten or drunk, and now everyone can eat and wear, and retreat militarily. What have you done? What qualifies me to pose in front of my big brother? You ......"
"Yide, don't say it," interrupting Zhang Fei's words, Zhang Yi said apologetically to the judge and Tian Feng: "Don't blame the two gentlemen, my third brother has such a stinky temper, I will ...... it for him."
"My lord doesn't need to say it," raised his hand to signal that Zhang Yi didn't need to say much, Tian Feng said without changing his face: "The merits of the adults, the two of us are clear, otherwise we would not appear in front of the adults, but if the adults want the two of us to serve under the adults, it is impossible, because the two of us don't want to be the lackeys of the ten permanent servants, let alone become the tools of the ten permanent servants to fight for power and profit." ”
At first, Zhang Yi thought that since the judge and Tian Feng appeared in front of him, he definitely intended to follow him, and he only needed Corporal Lixian, and he would definitely be able to subdue the two of them, but Tian Feng's words made Zhang Yi completely understand why the two of them ignored him, and it turned out that it was the reason why he was still the backer behind him.
It's no wonder that the party in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was aimed at people like Judge and Tian Feng, and it is strange that He Tian Feng did not hate the Ten Constant Servants.
"Smack"
Hearing Tian Feng's insinuation that Zhang Yi was a lackey, Zhang Fei immediately took the case and shouted angrily: "You dare to say that my eldest brother is a lackey, I see that you are fucking looking for death!" ”
At this moment, not only Zhang Fei was angry, but all the generals present looked at Tian Feng angrily, even Guan Yu, who had always been the most courteous, stared at Tian Feng with an angry face, Lu Bu stood up as angry as Zhang Fei, and Dian Wei even pulled out his knife.
Twisting his eyebrows and staring at the trial and Tian Feng, Dian Wei shouted angrily: "Lord, let me carry them out, one by one......"
"Alright, you all shut up!"
Zhang Yi has long been accustomed to others treating him as a lackey of the Ten Standing Servants, so after listening to Tian Feng's strange words, he was not angry at all, but after interrupting Dian Wei's words, he smiled and said to Tian Feng and the judge: "Hehe, it turns out that the two gentlemen think that I am helping the Ten Standing Servants to fight for their power, I think the two gentlemen may have misunderstood, I Zhang Tianshao can swear by the sky, I am by no means a lackey of the Ten Standing Servants, between me and the Ten Standing Servants, it is just to use each other, to say that they are fighting for power and profit, Then I, Zhang Tianshao, am also fighting for the people. ”
After saying this, Zhang Yi looked at the face of the judge and Tian Feng, and after finding that the two of them were not different, he said: "I don't think it's as good as this, what about the situation in Gaoyang City, the two gentlemen should have also seen it, after the war, there will be a lot of waste, although I left General Lu, but General Lu is a military general after all, he doesn't understand these things very well, and more importantly, he has to recuperate from his injuries, which is not suitable for long-term labor, and he is also responsible for handling and placing prisoners of war, can the two gentlemen stay and help the people here?" I can declare to the two gentlemen in advance that this is not a help for me, but a help for the people. ”
Zhang Yi's heart to keep Tian Feng and the trial is absolutely sincere, but he knows that with the prejudice of the trial and Tian Feng against himself, it is absolutely impossible for them to immediately kneel down and swear allegiance to him, so Zhang Yi chose a roundabout route, in his opinion, let the trial and Tian Feng stay to help the people of Gaoyang, they should not refuse, as long as they stay and see what the Dingping Army did, Zhang Yi does not believe that they will not be infected.
In fact, just as Zhang Yi expected, after hearing that Zhang Yi wanted to keep himself to help the people of Gaoyang, he agreed without saying anything, because when they first followed Xiao Wu here, they came for the people of Gaoyang, Zhang Yi didn't keep them, and they also planned to do what they could, but if they had Zhang Yi's orders and assignments, then they would naturally get twice the result with half the effort, and they naturally understood this truth.
Seeing that the trial match and Tian Feng agreed, Zhang Yi immediately asked Han Tao to take the two of them down to wash and eat, and after Han Tao took the two of them down, Zhang Yi immediately deployed the next action, and the next morning, Zhang Yi took an army of 150,000 and killed Pinglingdu in a mighty way.
The army sent to Pinglingdu, which Zhang Yi had planned a long time ago, and then he only needed to follow the plan step by step, and when the army of the Dingping Army killed Pinglingdu and was about to arrive, in Pinglingdu, Zhang Mancheng was crying to Zhang Bao about the reason for Gaoyang's defeat in the first battle.
Crying to Zhang Bao, this is Du Xiang's idea to Zhang Mancheng, Zhang Mancheng is also very obedient, directly according to Du Xiang's explanation, the Dingping Army said that all of them are the same as the gods, of course, he also put his own tenacious and unyielding, heroic fighting to the fullest, and finally he pushed the reason for the failure to the Dingping Army's advanced weapons, well-equipped and timely support, and these reasons are Zhang Bao's biggest headache, so after listening, Zhang Bao only reprimanded Zhang Mancheng a few words, and demoted Zhang Mancheng to a general, did not further investigate Zhang Mancheng's responsibility for the loss of 100,000 troops, which means that Du Xiang's idea worked.
Not to mention how Zhang Bao dealt with Zhang Mancheng, just outside Pingling City, Zhang Yi's army has been killed at this moment.
Coming to the outside of Pingling City, Zhang Yi did not rush to attack the city, but like Zhang Mancheng, he set up camp on the day of arrival, on the one hand, he sent people to ambush to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from stealing the camp, on the other hand, Zhang Yi led people to inquire around, preparing to find the people who understood Pinglingdu to touch the situation of Pinglingdu, and after three hours of hard searching, Zhang Yi found a fisherman.
The fisherman was quite scared at first, because after all, it was a time of war, and there were so many people with knives around Zhang Yi, so ordinary people were naturally afraid, but when Zhang Yi took out ten taels of gold, the fisherman was immediately not afraid, but told Zhang Yi everything he wanted to know.
According to the fisherman, Pinglingdu was indeed a ferry port before, but since the Yellow Turban Army occupied it, somehow, it became a strong city with tall walls overnight, which made the people think that the Yellow Turban Army had God's help, so the strength to join the Yellow Turban Army was even stronger.
On the way back, Zhang Yi kept touching the fisherman's words, and the more he thought about it, the more mysterious he felt, and then Zhang Yi figured out that Zhang Bao's trick should be a kind of Taoism, but he didn't know what it was.
On the way back, Zhang Yi rode on the horse and walked slowly, thinking as he walked: It's really not good, I can only recruit Mr. Wujiao, no, that's the trump card that Lao Tzu kept to deal with Zhang Jiao's last fight, and it can't be used until the last resort, damn it, there are too few capable people available in my hands.
Zuo Ci has been following Huang Zhong since Zhang Yi sent troops to recruit the Yellow Turban, and his role is to deal with Zhang Jiao's Taoism, after all, Zhang Yi has the experience of fighting with Zhang Jiao in the previous life, and knows that Zhang Jiao's mana is super strong, he is afraid that Zhang Jiao will recruit one hundred and eighty red armor wrestlers at once, and Huang Zhong will definitely not be able to cope with it at that time, so he left Zuo Ci there to assist him in case of accidents, so Zhang Yi will not recruit Zuo Ci to his side unless he has to.
"Grandma's, isn't it just a siege? Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it," gritting his teeth, Zhang Yi turned his head to the point next to him and said: "After I go back, I will immediately send an order to make siege equipment, ladders, city vehicles, flying cars, etc., and make all the siege equipment I designed before, and tell the people at the craftsman department that I want quantity and quality, and I will give them ten days to complete the task with quality and quantity." ”
"I see."
Nodding his head, Dian Wei turned his head and instructed the people around him a few words, to the effect that they would do it after they went back.
After returning to the camp, Jin Daowei immediately conveyed Zhang Yi's order, and in the following time, the Dingping Army was stationed outside Pingling City while training soldiers and horses, and there was no intention of attacking Pingling City at all, which made Zhang Bao and others in Pingling City completely confused.
Standing at the head of the city, watching the Dingping Army training soldiers and horses outside the city, Zhang Bao frowned, and muttered: "It's the fifth day, what does this damn Zhang Yi want to do?" It's been with us for so long? ”
Zhang Bao really couldn't figure out why Zhang Yi's army had not attacked the city since it arrived.
"The general doesn't have to be surprised," walked to Zhang Bao's side, Du Xiang sneered and said: "I guess Zhang Yi is not that he doesn't want to attack the city, but he doesn't dare to attack the city, the general must also know that since ancient times, the siege war has been the loss of the besieging side is much more than the loss of the defending side, after our Pingling City was transformed by the sect master's Taoism, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Dingping army is strong, he Zhang Yi 150,000 horses, want to capture our 200,000 people to defend the strong city, almost unwilling, at the moment we have to beware of the following points, firstto prevent the internal traitors of the Dingping Army in the city, and the inside should be combined with the outside; second, to prevent the Dingping army from digging tunnels to infiltrate; Third, prevent the Dingping army from stealing the city at night. ”
Du Xiang thought of all the methods he could think of, which also forced Zhang Yi to attack Pingling City hard.
After another five days, after personally inspecting the siege equipment made by the craftsmen, Zhang Yi finally issued an order to attack Pingling City, on the morning of the eleventh day after arriving at Pingling City, the camp of the Dingping Army beat the war drums of the siege, in the rumbling war drums, the Dingping army lined up into ten phalanxes, approaching Pingling City in a neat and orderly manner, and the Yellow Turban defenders of Pingling City also rushed to the city head for the first time, and when Zhang Bao and others arrived at the city, the Dingping Army had already sent the first phalanx, ready to storm Pingling City.
"Huh?"
Frowning, Zhang Bao pointed to some tall things in the Dingping Army's military formation, and asked Du Xiang beside him: "Military Division, look at it, what are those things?" ”
Zhang Bao pointed to some wooden structures that were more than 40 meters high, and there was a wooden box three meters high, 30 meters wide, and 50 meters long, and there was a large wooden board about 10 meters long at the front end of the wooden box, with a wooden frame in the middle, and six big wheels below, a total of more than 30 people were pushing the big guy, and it seemed that it was pushing quite hard.
Also looking at those big guys, Du Xiang also frowned, he couldn't understand what tricks Zhang Yi was doing, but his intuition told him that those things were by no means good things, and nine times out of ten they were the secret weapons used by the Dingping army to attack the city, Du Xiang was very sure at this time that Zhang Yi had been waiting outside Pingling City for so long, just to catch up with these things, but he really didn't know what those big things were used for.
Just when Du Xiang was secretly figuring out the role of those things, the first attack phalanx of the Dingping Army was less than two hundred meters away from the southern wall of Pingling City.
"Two hundred steps to go!"
"One hundred and fifty steps to go!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
With the order of the leading troops, tens of thousands of carved arrows instantly left the string and shot at the Dingping army attacking the city outside the city, and at the moment when the Yellow Turban Army released the arrows, the Dingping army of the first phalanx raised the big shield in their hands almost at the same time.
"Bang bang, bang ......"
In a dense sound, tens of thousands of eagle arrows were almost all shot on the shield, only a few did not align their shields with the shields of their brothers, which led to their own or others' arrows, of course, this is also inevitable, after all, after walking around, it is inevitable that there will be an uneven array.
"Stop! Stop archery! ”
After three rounds of arrow rain, Zhang Bao saw that archery was useless, and hurriedly ordered to stop the waste of arrows.
"Quick, bring me all the rolling logs and stones," shouted loudly, and Zhang Bao shouted while ordering the soldiers to bring up all the guys guarding the city: "Sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, come up, hurry!" ”
When shouting for the soldiers to prepare for white-knuckle combat, Zhang Bao also ordered the soldiers to boil all the tung oil.
As the attacking phalanx of the Dingping army got closer and closer, the Yellow Turban soldiers at the head of the city couldn't help but secretly swallow and spit at the mouth, and the hands holding the weapons were white, which showed how nervous they were.
"One hundred steps!"
"Fifty steps!"
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Seeing that the phalanx of the Dingping army was getting closer and closer, some of the Yellow Turban troops picked up the stones and rolling logs on the ground, ready to attack the Dingping army besieging the city, but to their surprise, when the phalanx of the Dingping army advanced to less than thirty meters away from the city wall, it suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Why didn't they leave? ”
Seeing that the phalanx of the Dingping army had indeed stopped advancing, the faces of the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city were full of doubts, but at this time, the Dingping Army under the city suddenly lifted the shield on its head, and then a series of 'Woo' rockets shot towards the head of Pingling's city in an instant.
