Chapter 245: The General Trend
While waiting for the three sisters to negotiate with the camp guards, Wang Xingjiang began to recall some information about the current battle situation.
Soldiers from both sides who fled from the Guangzong battlefield began to appear among the bandits they encountered in the second half of the journey, and after a "friendly exchange" with Zhang San and Li Si, those deserters were very cooperative in telling them about the battle situation before they fled.
The three sisters of Tianhe defended the city, and the soldiers were all loyal to the church, and there were also "heavenly soldiers and generals" to help, which can be said to be the right time, place and people.
However, even with all the advantages, they were still suppressed by the imperial army led by Lu Zhi, and they could not advance an inch, so they could only maintain defense.
On some levels, it can be said that the Yellow Turban Army lacks the leadership of actual combat generals, so even if they are extremely determined to fight, they will still be hoisted up and beaten by experienced regular troops.
But according to Wang Xingjiang's own experience, it is impossible for the imperial court's army to compete with the elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army, otherwise the defenders of Longxiang City will all eat dry food. And even if Lu Zhi's troops were all elite of the imperial court, it would be impossible to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Lux groupβthat group of guys was too unusual, and ordinary cold weapons couldn't resist it at all.
Unless Tian and their troops don't have Yellow Turban wrestlers at all, not even elite troops, just farmers like those who attacked Zhuoxian.
This can correspond to what Guo Fool said.
In Guo Fool's narration, the eldest sister Tianhe and Taoxiang of the three sisters of the Yellow Turban are not only similar in appearance, but also basically the same in personality, they are all silly girls who are kind and charitable.
Then the question arises - why would such a person condone his subordinates to attack the village?
For example, Taoxiang sent Guo fools to rob the village's grain, which is ...... It's impossible for anyone to see it!
In addition, there may have been large-scale infighting within the Yellow Turban Army, Wang Xingjiang boldly guessed that Tian and the three of them should have been set aside, and now they were thrown off as bait by those who seized command to attract the attention of the imperial court and let those really wicked people get away with it.
This guess is quite reasonable, and the story is also very strong, so all the girls except Momoka believe it.
Momoka had a different idea that she thought that her teacher, Lord Lu Zhi, would not act for the tiger, and she would definitely be able to see Tianhe's temperament, so why did she continue to attack?
Wang Xingjiang wanted to say that Lu Zhi might also be involuntarily, after all, as an official of the imperial court, she could not disobey the orders of her superiors. However, he was not very sure because of the lack of information, so he agreed to go to Lu Zhi first to understand the situation.
Otherwise, they won't be able to enter the battlefield......
Although the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army led by Lu Zhi chose the attack method of encircling three and putting one, the 60,000-strong army could still surround the entire city a few times.
After all, Guangzong is not a big city, the side length of the city wall is less than two thousand meters, and if one person stands every one meter, they can surround twenty floors......
What's more, they don't have to disperse the attack, the defense of the four-meter-high city wall is not high, and any breakthrough is enough for them to drive straight in, so Lu Zhi even sent a reconnaissance force of nearly 10,000 people to guard against the possible arrival of reinforcements from the Yellow Turban Army (but in fact it is not, which is also a reason for Wang Xingjiang to suspect that Tianhe was left behind).
They were only guided here after being discovered by these reconnaissance troops, otherwise they really didn't know where Lu Zhi's camp was - there were people everywhere, how could they know where the entrance was?
Wang Xingjiang, who came back after thinking about it for a while, also waited for Momoxiang's response, "We can go in!" β
"Alright, the rest is over! Let's go! Wang Xingjiang also stopped thinking nonsense and immediately ordered the march.
After Wang Xingjiang's careful adjustment...... Training, the current 1,658 combatants already have a little bit of the appearance of a people's army - at least the ranks are neat.
As for the level of movement...... Wang Xingjiang thinks that he has worked very hard, but it is still too difficult to get a group of miscellaneous troops who are mostly left and right and have huge differences in physical fitness to pose exactly the same......
Besides, he can't do such standard movements himself......
Ahem, although Wang Xingjiang still has some spicy eyes, but in the eyes of others, including those in Lika Aoki, they are all very remarkable - it looks very good!
Wang Xingjiang, who heard this, wanted to show them a video of the 2009 military parade, so that they could see what the real elite troops looked like, but unfortunately he didn't have such a thing at all.
However, this situation was enough to frighten the vast majority of the locals, and the soldiers who were in charge of receiving them were somewhat respectful, but because Wang Xingjiang had done a lot of work in spiritual education (storytelling), these soldiers did not get carried away.
Of course, my heart is still very cool.
Zhang San felt that he had a lot of face now, but he also began to think about what the "people's army" that the boss said looked like - it must be the most respected group of people.
We have to work hard, too!
Thinking of this, Zhang San suddenly slapped Li Si next to him, and Li Si almost overreacted and cut people on the spot.
The final result was that Zhang San stood for an hour.
Far away, then again, Lu Zhi, whose real name is Zihua, was very shocked when she learned that her little apprentice Momoka led the army to support, she didn't expect that her most naΓ―ve apprentice would be the first to rely on himself to gain his own power.
At present, military affairs are not busy, and Zihua decided to take the initiative to go out to greet Taoxiang.
On the other side, Momoka hurriedly rushed out after seeing her master appear, "Hello master!" β
Lu Zhi, who caught Taoxiang, even turned around twice before successfully unloading the force, and then said with a smile, "Xiao Xiangxiang has also grown up, and I am so old that I can't hold it anymore." β
Taoxiang immediately arched in Lu Zhi's arms, "The master won't be old, you haven't married yet." β
The turbulent scene made all the men, including Wang Xingjiang, extremely hot, but under the deathly gaze of Lihua Aoki, Aisha, and Yun Chang, they all obediently turned their heads.
Then Wang Xingjiang was reprimanded again.
Hearing the reprimand of Lihua Aoki behind her, Momoka remembered that this was not a private school, and there was a large group of outsiders, so she immediately stood up with a red face and a serious face, "Master!" I would like to know something about the current situation. β
Zihua smiled and touched Momo's head, "Okay, okay, you're tired from the long journey, let's go rest first and then talk about other things." β
"Hmm...... Okay, then trouble Xingjiang, you can take you to rest first. Taoxiang immediately turned around to get rid of Wang Xingjiang, and then explained the reason, "I want to spend more time with the master." β
Wang Xingjiang, who was finally freed, accepted the task and immediately replied, "No problem, leave it to me!" β
Then he left and bowed his head and continued to promise, "I'm really not thinking differently!" Alas! Lihua, listen to my explanation! No! Aisha, I didn't ignore you! Wait a minute! Yun Chang, why are you hitting me?! Hmmmm...... Momo ...... Let go...... I'm going to die......"
Zihua, who was pulled away by Momoka, muttered in her heart, it seems that Momoka has experienced a lot of things.
Before Taoxiang got lost, Lu Zhi successfully turned against the customer and pulled Taoxiang into his camp.
"It's not a private school, so if the conditions are not good, you can just give it up." , Zihua picked out a tea tray from his suitcase, and then planned to make a pot of tea first. She could see that Momoka had a lot to say, and she also had a lot to ask.
Momoka knows that the master doesn't like to be disturbed when making tea, and the things they need to talk about between them are very important, and she also needs time to calm down, and then she can try to understand the truth as fairly as possible
The smell of tea permeated the tent, but Zihua was not satisfied, "The water quality here is not good, and the taste of tea will be discounted." β
"Master, I'm sorry, I really can't drink this ......", Momoka has always been ignorant of this kind of tasting, so she cut straight to the point, "Master, do you think these Yellow Turban Army are bad people?" β
"No, at least not from this city." , Zihua slowly took a sip of tea, and then began to comment, "The taste of this tea has been destroyed after all." β
And Momoka didn't care about the latter sentence at all, "Then master, why do you continue to attack!?" They are just persecuted peasants and should not be involved in the war! β
"But this war was provoked by them and has already threatened the imperial court, so we must suppress it." , Zihua pushed the tea forward a little, "Taoxiang, you're thirsty too, right?" Drink a little first. β
Without caring about the hot mouth, Momoka finished the tea in one go, and then immediately asked, "But they are innocent!" They just want to live! β
"But some people don't want them to live." , Zihua replied very indifferently, but the words he said made Taoxiang cold, "The imperial court doesn't want them to live, the clan doesn't want them to live, and even the Yellow Turban Army doesn't want them to live." β
"Including me."
"Why?!" , Momoka immediately roared angrily, and then began to cry like rain, "Obviously, it was the master who told me to help the world, why can't you do it!" β
Zihua did not directly answer Taoxiang's question, but explained what he had just said, "The imperial court needs stability, the clan needs land, the Yellow Turban Army needs command, and I need fame, this is the way of the world." β
"The general trend is inevitable, I can't swim against the current, I can only push the boat with the current."
Momoka stood up resentfully and turned to leave, but the two guards at the door of the tent immediately blocked her way.
"I won't let you go, you can rest here in peace."
β¦β¦
Letting his female guards imprison Momoka in the camp tent, Zihua asked the chief of the guard who was waiting outside the camp tent, "Have those people been arranged?" β
"My lord, we have taken care of them, and all the weapons and horses have been confiscated, and they have no ability to resist."
"How many times have I said it, just call me Miss when there are no outsiders, and it's too obvious to call adults." , Zihua pinched the face of the woman who had followed her for thirty-one years, "I would have married you off if I knew it." β
"Little ...... Miss don't do this, ......", the chief of the guard, who did not resist without forgiving, could only let Zihua knead it, and waited until Zihua stopped before saying, "Miss, don't you like Miss Momoka the most?" Why lock her up? β
Zihua didn't respond at first, as if reminiscing about the past, and then slowly spoke, "Because it's too rigid and easy to break, I don't want her to be broken here now." β
"You know what? If I let her out, she will surely join the defenders at once, and then I will have to kill her with my own hands. β
The chief of the guard couldn't answer, and although she didn't know why Momoka joined the Yellow Turban Army, she was willing to trust her master...... Miss, "Then are we really going to step up our offensive?" β
"Pass the order, attack with all your might tomorrow! We can't afford to procrastinate! β
It seems that we will not have a chance to talk for a long time.
According to the information, the ancient city is really small, but because there is no specific data, I refer to the Xi'an Han city wall to roughly estimate one, if there is any discrepancy, please forgive me
By the way, this political drama can only be written to this extent in my ability...... I'm sorry
