Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Great Chief's Warrant

The army of more than 100,000 players stopped where they were, and under the command of Zhu Zhi, they began to build a camp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a lot of timber was cut down on the spot, carefully crafted and arranged, a large-scale wooden camp appeared. Zhu Ran's strict requirements for the camp are not only that the main body of the camp should be built with trees that have grown in the mountains and forests for more than 50 years, but also that there is no shortage of watchtowers, arrow towers, and horses in the camp, and a large number of traps and patrol players are set up outside the camp, and this camp has considerable defense and reaction capabilities.

Obviously, before Zhu Zhi set out on the expedition, he had studied the reasons for the failure of the Yuzhang County government army to defeat the Shanyue rebels in detail. Unfamiliar terrain, unclear intelligence, and carelessness were the main reasons for the defeat, and the most decisive factor for the entire battle situation was the sneak attack of the Shanyue rebels. If the government army of Yuzhang County had been vigilant enough at that time, it would not have fallen to the point of total annihilation.

Soon, the Yangzhou NPC army in the back arrived and entered the camp.

They had already received the news that the Shanyue rebels were almost within reach of the mountains less than a few miles to the camp. However, the army was very tired from the march until now, and now it was unfamiliar with the terrain, and it was not conducive to a strong attack.

Zhu Zhi suggested to Hong Ai, the commander of the Yangzhou Colonel of the NPC government army, that he temporarily rest in the camp for a day, send scout troops to find out the enemy's news, and start a battle tomorrow.

Seeing that Zhu Zhi had made proper arrangements, Hong Ai agreed, and 10,000 NPC imperial troops were stationed in the camp to rest, and Zhu Zhi was responsible for the defense of the entire camp.

The imperial army suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, and stood in formation, wedged at the foot of the mountain, and monitored their every move. The Shanyue rebels on the mountain suddenly found that they had been trapped on the mountainside by the imperial army.

What made them even more discouraged was that the imperial court really gave enough money this time, and sent most of the soldiers of the Yangzhou Assassin History Department, there were more than 100,000 people, and they didn't know where the Yangzhou Assassin got so many soldiers, and all the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou added up to more than 100,000, could it be that this time they were all sent over to strangle themselves at one time?

The leader of the Shanyue rebels was very depressed, this time he really stabbed a big basket, he was a small leader of the Shanyue tribe, and there were only more than 3,000 people under him, how could he be the opponent of so many court officers and soldiers.

What to do? The leader of the Shanyue rebels fell into a deep sense of crisis, he was actually just holding the mentality of looting and leaving, how many treasures, slaves and women were there in the rich Yuzhang County. But then the development of the situation slowly got out of his control, and after he easily eliminated the previous wave of imperial crusaders, it was inevitable that he had formed a mortal enmity with the imperial army.

"Report to the chief, a messenger asks for an audience." The chief's own soldiers stood at the door, and the report was made.

"Damn, no! At this time, it must be other tribes who came to see Lao Tzu's jokes. Tell him to get out of here! The leader of the Shanyue rebels slapped heavily on the desk, venting his depressed mood at the moment.

"However, this is a messenger sent by the great chieftain, who says that he has important matters to discuss with the chief." The soldier was startled, but he still stubbornly said.

"You say it's the Great Chief's emissary?! Great, welcome people in. "A glimmer of hope was ignited in the heart of the leader of the Shanyue rebels, and the big chief was completely a god-like existence in the entire Shanyue tribe, wearing tens of thousands of armors, occupying thousands of miles of mountains and wilderness in Yangzhou Jiaozhou, as if he was the leader of the emperor.

Intimidated by the strong strength of the big chief, the successive Taishou assassins of the Eastern Han Dynasty were very jealous and treated them with appeasement. The Han Dynasty, which had always had a tough attitude towards barbarians, had to be soft in the big chieftain, which also made the other Shanyue chieftains very admired.

The Great Chief had become the leader of the entire Shanyue clan in reputation, and all the other Shanyue chieftains were nominally his subordinates.

"Leader Jiongming, the big leader heard that your current situation is not very good, so he specially sent me to help." As soon as the leader of the Great Chief entered the camp of the Shanyue rebels, he said straight to the point. Strangely, this envoy was completely different from the ordinary Shanyue people, with fair skin, a handsome demeanor, and wearing Han clothes and hairpins. This is a Han Chinese.

Jiong Ming was a little disgusted with the Han people, but since this was the messenger of the Great Chief, he didn't have much to say, and asked, "Thank you for the Great Chief's saving grace." But since you're here to help us, what about the army you're bringing with you? ”

The messenger shook his head with a smile, took out a piece of sheepskin from his sleeve, and said, "I don't have reinforcements, only a warrant from the Great Chief." ”

"Warrant?" Jiong Ming took the parchment full of doubts, looked at it for a while, scratched his head and returned the parchment to the messenger, and said embarrassedly: "This, I can't read." ”

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the south was still far away from the royal court, and the environment was bitterly cold, and there were no Confucian scholars in many states and counties who were willing to come over to educate the people, let alone those barbarians. This is also one of the reasons why many barbarians rebelled against the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they had to reuse the Han people in many cases.

The envoy was speechless, and then read aloud: "I heard that my brother was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army, provoking the majesty of my Shanyue clan. I have already issued an order to order all the Shanyue tribes in Yuzhang County to help each other with all their might, and in the early morning of tomorrow, launch a counterattack against the imperial army from all sides, and teach this group of imperial officers and soldiers who do not know the ability of our Shanyue army. ”

Jiong Ming was very happy with this sheepskin warrant, "Thank you, Great Chief, having this warrant is comparable to giving me tens of thousands of male soldiers." ”

In Yuzhang County, there are more than a dozen large and small Shanyue tribes, small tribes have hundreds of people, and large tribes have thousands of people.

The envoy said: "The leaders of the various tribes of Yuzhang have already set off, and they will be able to arrive soon. You should also hurry up and prepare to give the imperial army a dismount in the early hours of tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay." With the help of the big chief, Jiong Ming was in a good mood, and ordered his subordinates to entertain the envoy with good wine and meat, and he gathered all the big and small leaders in the army to make arrangements.

It was already late at night, and Lin Ran, who was assigned to the camp to defend and guard, lay in a place in the camp and looked at the starry sky, feeling a little emotional.

In the past few days, the imperial court has crusaded against the Shanyue rebels, and the scale has become more and more huge each time, often tens of thousands of people. It does look spectacular, and it makes many players enthusiastic, immersed in the fun of this military battle.

Lin Ran now has a maximum of a few thousand people under his command, and if in the future, he can command more than 100,000 troops and fight in the north and south, it will be a great joy in life.

Time passed imperceptibly, and the night sky, which had been invisible to the five fingers, gradually brightened, and the sky revealed a faint cyan.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, which is actually the sleepiest time of the day, many players who have been on the camp all night can't help but fall asleep on the ground.

Danger is also quietly approaching at this time.
