"Die. To read the latest chapters, please lock in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info ""But, hateful ......" An officer and soldier were killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers behind him with unwilling eyes at this time.
"Ah!!h "Ah...... a strategist trying to support a friendly army is exposed to the blades of the Yellow Turban soldiers after the light infantry in front of him is killed, and the results are obvious, and he soon follows in the footsteps of the light infantry who were protecting him.
"My lord, what are the two lieutenants doing, isn't this all about sending those soldiers to death, what mistake have they made, to become abandoned outcasts. If there is no reason, it would be too cruel, right? ”
Looking at the officers and soldiers under the city who were still trying to impact the East Battalion of the Yellow Turban Army, Huang Gai, who was standing in the corner tower of the city wall and watching the battle, asked Sun Jian with some doubts. After all, the scene in front of him suddenly made him feel sad that a rabbit was dead and a fox was sad.
"It doesn't have to be like this, there are some things you can know, but you can't pass it down, you know?"
Although Sun Jian's tone was very casual, Huang Gai heard the murderous aura in Sun Jian's tone, so he quickly shook his head and said that he no longer wanted to know the secrets that would cause many people to fall to the ground if they were leaked. How the cat died, Huang Gai still knows.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter, it's just that I've been inspired by something, so it seems that I have made a plan to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army outside the city. These people out there are just a way to get the enemy to slack off again. As long as the desired goal is achieved, most people still have a chance to withdraw. But then it's up to us. ”
"The subordinates understand, and they promise to complete the task." Although he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, Huang Gai still expressed his determination to complete the task. However, this young hot-blooded general is obviously not an old fritter who can hide his heart, even Sun Jian, who has some big sticks outside the battlefield, can see some clues from the expression on Huang Gai's face at this time.
"Gongfu, you have to be clear, the ancients said: 'Ci is not in charge of soldiers'. In order to win the battle, the necessary sacrifices must be made. The only thing a general can do is to make sure that the sacrifice is really worth it, and to keep it to a minimum. Got it? ”
"Subordinate, understand ......" Regarding Sun Jian's reason, although Huang Gai, who had read some books, had some difficulty listening to it, he had already understood the general truth, and a sense of responsibility for the general was spontaneous in his heart at this time.
"Of course, although it may seem unfair to those who have become outcasts, it is not necessarily that fate is completely in the hands of others. If I were among those soldiers, whether I was going forward or backward, I would try to complete the task while protecting myself, and I would never give up until the last moment of my life. ”
"Gai, I will live up to the teachings of the lord." Looking at the back of Sun Jian, who was fighting against the sun, Huang Gai was a little stupid for a while.
At the same time, the battle outside the city continued. Although the Yellow Turbans had just planted a big heel in their proudest tactics a few days ago, and what was even more demoralizing was that the two sect leaders were also seriously wounded in that battle, the numerical superiority and the baptism of religious belief still made them rush to their opponents desperately. And as time passed, the advantage of the Yellow Turban Army, which was constantly supported by other city gates, became more and more obvious, and the officers and troops who were still slightly superior were no longer able to do so at this time.
"Whew, whew...... We can't support it, and if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on to the annihilation of the whole army. A general who appeared to be the commander of the light infantry roared loudly, not caring if such a statement would hurt his morale.
"Damn, there are more and more people in the Yellow Turban Army." The voice of the light infantry commander does not seem to be small.
"In a little while, the cavalry will come to reinforce them, and they must withstand it no matter what."
The words of the commander of this archer made the generals of the Yellow Turban Army who commanded the front line stunned, they all remembered Sun Jian's heroic appearance of the cavalry unit galloping in the Yellow Turban Army as if entering a no-man's land, although Sun Jian was later dealt with by Lu Bu in a few rounds, but the terrifying feeling was still vivid. On the plains, cavalry is always a nightmare for the infantry, this is an eternal fact.
"But in my opinion, it's important to save your own life, and who in the current official army doesn't think so. What's more, this is Yingchuan, where the battle is most intense, and I don't think the court will send troops to die. ”
However, before the front-line generals of the Yellow Turban Army could digest the news they had just received, they immediately received another message that was completely opposite to what they had just received. This made many generals hesitate and didn't know what to do.
So in an instant, countless heralds rushed towards the camp where Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were, after all, the judgment of the two sect leaders was still trustworthy. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that many of them are trying to shirk responsibility.
"Having said that, the cavalry captain of the reinforcements is Cao Cao, and I heard that he is a powerful character. Believe him this time, now I have to wait for him to come. Soon, a message seemed to be inadvertently revealed.
"Hurry, come quickly." This is the wail of an archer before he dies, and it seems that for a moment, Cao Cao's name resounded on the battlefield.
"The other party is really tenacious." Standing on the wooden wall of the camp built by Li Shushi's troops, Zhang Bao expressed his heartfelt emotion.
It's just that his current state is very bad, even if someone is supporting him on the side, his legs are still trembling slightly, if it weren't for the fact that he carried the "Taiping Qing Lingdao" that could avoid a bad state in order to cast spells, I'm afraid that the violent mental backlash would be enough to make him directly a vegetative person, instead of being able to come out like this now to stabilize the military heart.
"Hmph, sooner or later we have to defeat them! The hateful officers and soldiers dare to attack here! Be sure to make them regret it. ”
Standing beside Zhang Bao is Zhang Bao's three places Zhang Liang. Although the damage he suffered was not light, it was much smaller than Zhang Baolai, so compared to Zhang Bao, who can only be a mascot now, everything in the Yellow Turban Army needs to be handled by Zhang Liang. Fortunately, during the war, most of the official affairs belonged to Zhang Liang, who was in charge of military affairs, so it did not add too much burden.
Although Zhang Liang said fiercely, in fact, he knew in his heart that because the attack that he thought he would win that day was not only fruitless in the end, but also that he and Zhang Bao were seriously injured, this was undoubtedly a huge blow to the prestige of the two and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, and even the idea that "the officers and soldiers in the city have the protection of God and cannot be defeated" is not necessarily true.
If this situation continues, I am afraid that Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang will have to discuss whether to safely withdraw the troops before the morale completely collapses. And once the troops are withdrawn, it will not be easy to gather such a large number of troops. If the troops in the city keep an eye on the two brothers, I'm afraid it will be a question whether they can return to Hebei alive.
But now the official army has given him a chance, a chance for him to revive the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army. Although he felt that the number of officers and soldiers attacking the Yellow Turban Army camp in front of him was a little small. Although the officers and soldiers waved the banners of the two lieutenant generals, both the soldier Su zhì and Sun Jian, who impressed him that day, gave people a sense of conspiracy.
But what can he Zhang Liang do, if the strength of the official army is stronger, maybe the soldiers under him just now have collapsed. Therefore, even if he knew that the official army had some unknown traps, Zhang Liang had to pinch his nose and jump in.
"Hold on a little longer, let them know that the officers and soldiers are not easy to mess with!"
Although the general commanding the battle sounded very unwilling to roar, the morale of the officers and soldiers who had been tormented by the growing Yellow Turban Army was almost at a low point. Eventually, deserters began to emerge and eventually evolved into a massive rout.
Zhang Liang stopped his subordinates from pursuing, because he had already noticed that a large number of archers and civilian troops appeared to be placed on the walls of Changshe City. He didn't want the little morale he had gathered so easily to be beaten back to the bottom by the officers and soldiers.
"Gao Sheng, do you know who Cao Cao is."
As soon as he returned to the camp, Zhang Liang sent someone to call Gao Sheng, who was stationed at the south gate. Because Gao Sheng had accepted Zhang Jiao's order to go to Luoyang to assist Ma Yuanyi in the uprising, and he also had some research on the characters in Luoyang City who needed attention, so after seeing the information obtained in today's battle, Zhang Liang was the first to think of him.
"Cao Cao, it seems to be the grandson of the eunuch Cao Teng. Although his father was a greedy fellow, I heard that he was a good man. When he was the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, he once executed Jian Shuo's uncle, one of the most powerful eunuchs at that time, according to the law, and if it wasn't for the family's efforts, he might have been eliminated. Even the officials of Dunqiu County, who were demoted to the East County, were not soft on the local heroes. ”
Cao Cao is more or less a celebrity of the new generation, and he has also done some things in Luoyang, so Gao Sheng still knows something.
"In other words, this person is just a civil servant with a relatively tough style."
Through Guò Gaosheng's description, Zhang Liang seems to have a rather wrong understanding of Cao Cao.
"This subordinate doesn't know very well, but it's not uncommon for the Han court to use Confucianism to lead the army, and there are famous people Zhang Huan who are more distant, and there are also civil officials like Lu Zhi recently."
can learn about Zhang Huan's deeds, this Gao Sheng is really not a straw bag who doesn't know anything, I think people also followed Zhang Jiao to go north and south back then. It's just that those stories are more or less distorted to him, so he's not too sure. You must know that the form of the Yellow Turban Army is now in danger, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be in danger of collapsing.
"I see, you go down. After returning home, guard the camp carefully, and do not give the officers and soldiers a chance to take advantage of it. ”
Watching Gao Sheng's figure leave the camp, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Zhang Bao, who was hiding behind the screen.
"Although this is also a cavalry, but the commander is an inexperienced civil servant, I don't think there should be such an experienced means as a sect member, maybe this should be good news for us."
Immediately, Zhang Liang only heard a helpless sigh behind him......
