Chapter 40: The Yellow Turban Commits Offense
Tang Yun almost took control of the county guard mansion with the momentum of thunder, and captured a battalion of soldiers and horses in the city.
Outsiders don't know that the county guard has been controlled by Tang Yun, and now that Zhang Jiao is rebelling, the world is in chaos, and all the county towns under the jurisdiction of Jinan County have been captured by thieves.
There is no government affairs to deal with in Jinan County, and this Liu Taishou is not busy.
On the contrary, Tang Yun was busy for this Liu Taishou, and the first thing he had to be busy with at the moment was against the Yellow Turban Army!
According to the report he sent out from the city, the Yellow Turban Army that was causing rebellion in Jinan County had expanded to as many as 40,000 or 50,000, and some of them had already marched to Dongpingling County, and they would be able to reach the outside of the city in less than a day.
The Yellow Turban Army of Jinan County, after occupying one county seat after another, has already marked the idea of Dongpingling County, the seat of the county.
As Liu Taishou said at the beginning, the soldiers are coming to the city!
It's no wonder that Liu Taishou wants to run away, with a battalion of 2,000 soldiers and horses in Pingling County in the east, facing tens of thousands of yellow scarves, it is really a bit unsightly, even if these tens of thousands of yellow scarves are almost all untrained recruits, and there is even no shortage of old and weak women and children who are coerced.
Even if it is a pile of heads, it is estimated that the city head of Dongpingling County can be flattened!
However, Tang Yun was not timid, but wanted to fight with the Yellow Turban Army of Jinan County with the soldiers and horses in his hands.
……
……
Early morning.
The hall of the county watchman's house.
"A battalion of soldiers and horses in this county, including our Tang family's private soldiers, is only 3,000, and the Yellow Turban Army that came to attack is more than 10,000 people, and this battle is not easy to fight."
Tang Yun summoned his henchmen and told the news that a part of the Yellow Turban Army would come to attack and would be able to arrive outside the city in less than a day.
Tang Yi and Tang Er's henchmen and other subordinates all changed their expressions slightly, but they were not afraid.
They are all qualified generals, and according to Tang Yun's words, they all have IQs online.
They naturally understood that although the Yellow Turban Army was outnumbered, they were all rebellious recruits, and there were many old and weak women and children who were coerced, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
With the more than 1,000 private soldiers of the Tang family trained by them, as well as a battalion of soldiers and horses in this county, they may not be able to fight.
"Young master, it's better to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Army's arrival, let's set up an ambush outside the city first."
Tang Qi stood up and offered a plan: "If the Yellow Turban army is strong, and the soldiers and horses in the city are unable to defend it for a long time, they can send a signal to let the ambush soldiers attack the rear of the thieves, so that the thieves are in chaos, and they will not be able to take the city." ”
Seeing that everyone looked at him, Tang Qi paused, and said: "If the thief soldiers are only a large number of people, and they have no combat power, and they can't attack for a long time, they can let the ambush soldiers take advantage of the situation to kill, and the thief soldiers will definitely be defeated!" ”
Tang Yun bowed slightly.
The rest of Tang Yi and the others also nodded one by one.
Tang Qi has always been the most clever, the most thoughtful, and the most ghostly among all people, and now it seems that it is also used in marching and fighting.
"Young master, let me take a group of men and horses to ambush outside the city!"
Tang 13 stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.
He is extremely tall and strong, he is the tallest among the people, more than 1.9 meters, and he is also the most powerful among the people.
This is born with great strength, which is different from ordinary people, and others cannot envy it.
Although Tang Shisan could not reach the level of top generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were born with divine power, they were more than enough to deal with ordinary generals, and they could be regarded as a fierce general.
"I'll go myself."
Tang Yun waved his hand, rejected Tang Thirteen's request, and said.
If he was to participate in the chicken game, he could consider letting Tang Shisan lead the team out of the city as an ambush soldier.
But now, he's ready to go for himself!
With his current strength, he can find the right opportunity, and he can even take the head of it, disperse its crowd, and defeat the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop!
"Young master, let me go, right?"
Tang Shisan was stunned for a moment, fighting out of the city is different from defending the city, the danger factor is too great, he is not willing to let the young master take risks, and he is alone outside the city, if he is discovered, it is even more dangerous, and if he is not careful, he will never recover.
"It's too dangerous outside the city, the young master can't risk his life, let's let Thirteen go!" Tang Qi, who offered advice, also persuaded him.
Tang Yun smiled slightly, he naturally understood the concern of his brothers, they learned and grew up together, these people were not only his henchmen, but also close to him like brothers.
It's just that the rules of the times are different, and these people are not only close to Tang Yun, but also have respect for their masters. In the end, they are still the servants of the Tang family, or the homeless people who have been adopted, their identities are like this, and the rules of the times are like this, even Tang Yun cannot change them.
"I guess you've heard about what happened in the county guard's mansion, right?"
Looking at the people who cared about him, Tang Yun smiled and said, "You don't need to ask more about my changes, and I don't want to say more, you just need to know that I have become stronger." ”
Tang Yun said, stood up, picked up his iron spear, and practiced a set of marksmanship in the hall.
After this set of marksmanship drills, it is really like a dragon, and it is powerful, and the strength of the wind is so strong that it makes people look different.
Except for Tang Yi and Tang Er, who had seen Tang Yun's bravery, the rest of the people were all dumbfounded, although they heard about the deeds of the young master in the county guard's mansion, but hearing was false, seeing was believing!
When did the young master become so powerful?
Even Tang Thirteen boasted of himself, and he couldn't take a few moves from the young master, and it was estimated that he would be defeated in a few rounds, so he would hold on to his death, and it was estimated that he would last more than a dozen rounds at most.
After Tang Yun practiced a set of marksmanship, he looked at the stunned crowd, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "I will take five hundred soldiers and horses out of the city to ambush." ”
After a pause, he commanded: "You all do your duty, guard the gates on all sides, and if the city is in danger of being lost, immediately light fireworks at the head of the city, and I will immediately lead my soldiers and horses to raid the rear of the thieves." ”
"Whoa!"
The crowd took orders.
Tang Yun nodded, and discussed some details with everyone.
For example, the Yellow Turban Army came from the west, so the West City Gate was the most important, and a thousand elite soldiers were sent to guard it.
The other three city gates, including the East City Gate, the North City Gate, and the South City Gate, were guarded by 500 elite soldiers.
Coupled with the 500 soldiers and horses that Tang Yun brought out of the city, a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses, there are no more people.
This still counts the more than 1,000 private soldiers of the Tang family, otherwise with the strength of Pingling County in the east, I am afraid that it is really not the opponent of the Yellow Turban Army, and it is no wonder that Liu Taishou has to run away in a hurry.
And this is only the first Yellow Turban Army to attack, only more than 10,000.
The Yellow Turban Army in Jinan County has expanded to 40,000 or 50,000, and is under the command of Xu He, one of the 36 Fang Qu Marshals of the Yellow Turban Army.
The soldiers were very fast, and after Tang Yun arranged everything, he led five hundred soldiers and horses out of the city.
These 500 soldiers and horses are all private soldiers of the Tang family, well-trained, although they have never been on the battlefield, but they are all strong and strong, and they can also do some martial arts, which is much stronger than the Yellow Turban Army.
Those who followed Tang Yun out of the city were only Tang Yi and Tang Er.
The rest of Tang San and Tang Si still led a few men and horses and stayed behind to guard the county mansion.
Tang 5, Tang 6, Tang 7 and Tang 36 and others led the rest of the soldiers and horses in the city to guard the city gates on all sides.
Tang Yun led five hundred soldiers and horses, and after leaving the west city gate, he hid in a forest near the official road in the west of the city.
However, the Tanma who reported the news before still overestimated the marching speed of the Yellow Turban Army, saying that it would arrive outside the city in less than a day, but in fact, it was not until noon the next day that the Yellow Turban Army, which was more than 10,000 people, was late.
Fortunately, Tang Yun and other five hundred soldiers and horses brought dry food with them, and it was early spring, so they stayed in the woods for a day and a night, and there was no discomfort.
Looking from a distance in the woods, I saw that the yellow turban army was black and oppressive, all of them had yellow scarves tied on their heads, men, women, old and weak, although there were all kinds of weapons, there was no shortage of knives, guns or bows and arrows, I think it was seized from which county.
More than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops along the way went straight to the west gate of Dongpingling County to kill.
On the city wall, Tang Wu, Tang Liu, Tang Qi and Tang 13 and others have led soldiers and horses and are ready for battle.
