After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cheng Yuanzhi raised more than 60,000 troops to kill Zhuojun according to the plan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There is a large official warehouse in Zhuo County, which stores a large amount of ordnance and food, and this official warehouse is the reason why the Yellow Turban Army is making a big move against Zhuo County.

In the face of the menacing Yellow Turban Army, Taishou Liu Yan hurriedly went out to recruit troops, and he wanted to organize an army to block the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

Why did Liu Yan think of recruiting soldiers and horses when the disaster was coming? Don't he have any soldiers and horses in his hands? Of course, Liu Yan has soldiers in his hands, but as I said earlier, Taishou, an official equivalent to the mayor, has extremely limited armed forces in his hands, and due to many reasons such as corruption in the imperial court, the general local guards and garrisons have never been full, and the number of guards, garrisons and government servants in Liu Yan's hands is less than 7,000, and this is already a lot.

A group of peasants who had just put down their hoes and another group of peasants who had just put down their shovels encountered at the foot of Maoxing Mountain, and unlike what was said in the history books, because there was no Zhang Fei, Cheng Yuanzhi actually had no opponents, and after killing several big men who came up to challenge him, he immediately took advantage of the opportunity of his own morale to attack the whole army.

The 20,000 officers and soldiers were hastily promoted, and their combat power was not high, although the officers and soldiers had some simple armor and relatively high-quality blades, but in the melee of thousands of troops, the role of those ordnance was too limited to turn the tide of the war.

The official army was defeated, and thousands of remnants retreated to Zhuojun, preparing to defend the city, while the Yellow Turban Army came to the city of Zhuojun and surrounded Zhuojun on all sides.

Shocked to hear that the official army was defeated, nearly 10,000 people fled west with their families and mouths, and the official road from Zhuojun to Linxian was crowded with fleeing people, the scene was very chaotic, often people fell to the ground, and then were trampled to death by the crowd that followed, everywhere was the cry of children, and the whole scene was bleak and abnormal.

"Uncle, how could the official army be defeated by thieves?"

A teenager asked the middle-aged man next to him, his expression full of doubts.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Maybe there are too many thieves and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers are outnumbered!" ”

The young man was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Dad, where are we going?" ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Hey! Dad doesn't know, just follow everyone, there will always be a place for yellow turban thieves! ”

Just as the father and son were talking, suddenly there was a scream behind them.

"Oh no! The thieves have caught up! Run, everybody! ”

Accompanied by screams, the sound of horses' hooves sounded sharply, from far and near.

The people who were fleeing suddenly became in chaos, and everyone began to flee in all directions.

Many of them went into the grove by the side of the road, and among them was the father and son.

The hundreds of forward cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army arrived in the blink of an eye. The people, who had no time to escape, were now suffering. I saw the Yellow Turban Army howling and waving a big knife through the people who were fleeing in panic, and in an instant, the screams were stacked, and with the flash of the knife, one after another the unarmed people were cut down in a pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, the young man hiding in the woods trembled, his eyes were full of fear, and the middle-aged man held the young man tightly in his arms, and his eyes were also full of fear.

Just as the Yellow Turban cavalry was raging, the people hiding in the woods suddenly heard a faint sound like thunder, and then the earth seemed to tremble slightly.

The people looked confused, and they all followed the prestige. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was startled when I saw it, and I saw that not far from the west, countless cavalry were charging over with a cloud of dust.

Finished! Finished! Now there are wolves in front of you and tigers in the back, and there is nowhere to run! All the people who were hiding in the woods were instantly dead, and many fell to the ground and wept.

Just when the people thought they would not be spared, something strange happened.

The Yellow Turban cavalry, who was still killing the people just now, found out that the cavalry coming from the west was in a mess, and more than 200 Yellow Turban cavalry almost immediately turned their horses and ran eastward in panic.

However, the Yellow Turban cavalry could not get far before they were knocked down by a rain of arrows from behind. The Yellow Turban cavalry suddenly became even more chaotic, and the remaining hundred or so cavalry fled in panic, but the horses ridden by the Yellow Turban cavalry were far inferior to the other party, so in the end, none of the Yellow Turban cavalry could escape, and all of them were killed or captured alive by the opposing cavalry who caught up.

The people hiding in the woods were dumbfounded, and finally shouted excitedly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, look at the flag, this is the official army!" We are saved! ”

When the others heard this, they hurriedly looked at the banner of the cavalry, and sure enough, there was a big black "Han" character embroidered on the first battle flag with a red background, and on both sides of the Chinese character flag, there was also a big banner embroidered with "General Dingping Hou Zhang Yi of the Great Han Pingbei", and a large banner embroidered with "Dingping Army".

"It's really an official army! It's really an official army! ”

The people hiding in the woods were very excited, almost all of them couldn't help but shed tears, and the experience just now was like turning around in the ghost gate for these people who had escaped, so everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

I don't know who rushed out of the woods first, and then the people poured out of the woods, standing on both sides of the pipe, waving their hands, tears in their eyes, and cheering with emotion.

"Evil come, bring the captives up, I have something to ask."

In the cavalry army, a handsome young man with a handsome appearance all over his body gave an order to a strong man like a black bear beside him, these two people were Zhang Yi and his personal bodyguard Dian Wei, who led the army a few days ago.

Soon, Dian Wei dragged a captive to Zhang Yi's war horse, and then fell to the ground and shouted: "The lord of my family has something to ask you, you must answer well, otherwise I will tear you apart!" ”

"Yes, yes," the captive said in a panic as he kowtowed to Zhang Yi in a hurry, "The little one must know everything." ”

Looking at the captive in front of him, Zhang Yi smiled, because this yellow turban captive was really like the one depicted in later film and television dramas, his head was wrapped in a yellow scarf, and his body was also yellow and yellow, in a word, his whole body was yellow, but now his clothes and armor were torn, covered with blood, trembling all over, and the whole person was extremely embarrassed.

"You don't have to be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, I won't kill you," try to calm his tone as much as possible, Zhang Yi asked softly: "Let me ask you, is your Yellow Turban Army that invaded Zhuo County led by Cheng Yuanzhi?" How many of you are there? ”

The captive hurriedly replied: "The general is right, our team of men and horses is composed of Cheng Da... Well... It was led by Cheng Yuanzhi, with a total of more than 70,000 people. ”

"Seventy thousand?"

The words of the captives surprised Zhang Yi, according to the memories of the previous life and the records of historical materials, when Cheng Yuanzhi attacked Zhuojun, it should have been more than 50,000, less than 60,000? Why is there more than 20,000 out of thin air now? Could it be that this captive of the Yellow Turban Army told a lie?

Thinking that the captive might be deceiving himself, Zhang Yi immediately glared and said angrily: "You dare to tell a lie!" Cheng Yuanzhi obviously has more than 50,000 people under his command! Come on, drag it down, cut it! ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately grabbed the captive's arm and dragged him out.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life! The villain didn't tell a lie, the villain really didn't tell a lie, if you don't believe it, you can ask others! The general spares his life! ”

The captives dragged by Dian Wei were so frightened that they begged for mercy.

"What's it called?" Raising his foot and kicking on the prisoner's small stomach, Dian Wei scolded: "The little thief who doesn't know how to lift dares to deceive my father-in-law!" ”

The captive, who was crying and grabbing the ground, received this kick, and immediately screamed, and then could no longer make a sound.

Stunned for a moment, Dian Wei then squatted down and tried the man's snort, and found that the poor captive had fainted, and he didn't know if Dian Wei's kick was too strong, or the thief was too weak, I guess there were both.

"Pawn big, you beat him to death!"

Seeing the thief fall to the ground, Zhang Fei, who was guarding next to Zhang Yi, asked loudly.

"No," after listening to Zhang Fei's words, Dian Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, he just fainted." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, then turned his head and asked Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, do you see that what he said just now is the truth?" ”

Seeing Zhang Yi ask himself, Guan Yu lowered his head, and after a little thought, he replied: "Looking at the scene just now, it doesn't look like he was telling a lie, big brother, you don't want to bring a captive up to ask again, to see if what they say is consistent." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, and then ordered someone to bring another prisoner up. The result of the question was exactly the same as what the previous prisoner said, in addition, Zhang Yi also learned of a more urgent situation, the Yellow Turban Army still has a way, a total of 30,000 horses are rushing here.

In order to hide his true strength and to grab merit, Zhang Yi only brought 20,000 light cavalry to Zhuo County.

30,000 plus more than 70,000, the enemy's total strength exceeds 100,000, while our army only has 20,000, and there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, what should we do? Zhang Yi's head was big for a while.
