Chapter 372: Vanguard Army
Well, Tang Shengxian has been settled, the general is a general, but he is just a small general, the general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is divided into five grades, and the hussar generals and chariot generals often heard in TV dramas are only second-grade generals. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Tang Shengxian got the official position of a cavalry general, which sounds majestic, but he is only a four-rank miscellaneous general.
However, it is also just here, mainly to manage the training of recruits, the Yellow Turban Army's offensive for more than two months is still there, even if the imperial court has organized the forces of the Qing Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban Army has launched an encirclement and suppression in many states, with defeats and victories, but the disadvantages of the Yellow Turban Army's lack of top generals and famous strategists have not yet broken out at this stage.
Zhu Jun's army was defeated by the Yellow Turban Bocai and retreated, and Huangfu Song had to be stationed in Changshe with him to defend, and was besieged by Bocai's army, and the Han army was few and demoralized. In addition, the Runan Yellow Turban Army defeated Taishou Zhao Qian in Shaoling, and the Guangyang Yellow Turban Army killed Youzhou Assassin Shi Guo Xun and Taishou Liu Wei, and the Yellow Turban Army showed no signs of defeat due to the actions of the Han Dynasty.
So far, everything is as it has been portrayed in history, but there are still a few days to go into May. In May, when the Jingshi saw that Huangfu Song was besieged, he sent Cao Cao to lead an army to rescue him. However, when the reinforcements did not arrive, Huangfu Song had a plan, in the evening a strong wind blew, Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to secretly go out of the city with torches, using the weeds around the Yellow Turban military camp, using fire to attack the enemy, shouting to attack, the city also raised torches in response, Huangfu Song with drums to help the battle, rushed into the enemy formation, the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, running around. encountered Cao Cao's reinforcements again, and was attacked by Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao on three sides, killing tens of thousands of people, and the Han army won a great victory.
This was the first major defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, and it was also the beginning of the decline of the Yellow Turban Army.
Tang Shengxian knew, but he wouldn't say that he didn't want to lead these uneducated refugees to establish a religios, a republic, and a country, but that he wanted to establish his own dynasty. So these days Tang Shengxian is just a low-key training, as for whether Tang Shengxian will or not, it doesn't matter, there is Xiao Ai's database, and he can make a cameo appearance as an expert in any aspect.
By the way, he also experimented with the guns of these soldiers, from laser guns to modern rifles to the original flintlock pistols, without exception, the trigger could not be pulled, no matter how much force these people used. Sure enough, this bug doesn't exist. However, the antique crossbow arrows made by modern technology can still be fired, and it is a good choice to use a strong bow and a hard crossbow in the back.
Zhang Jiao doesn't understand military affairs, this is one of the biggest failures of the Yellow Turban Uprising, even if he has the ability to call the wind and rain, he can't kill the strong enemies one by one, and he still has to rely on soldiers and human lives to fill it, so from this point of view, the possibility of the Yellow Turban Uprising turning the tables at the beginning is not small.
It's not that Tang Shengxian doesn't want to exert his strength, it's just that his main battlefield is still behind, and after Zhang Jiao's death, he will really show his fangs at that time. Now, it depends on the fact that the war is about to start and gradually become tighter, so that Tang Shengxian may be sent to the front line, and keeping a low profile now does not mean that he has been low profile.
Time passed day by day, Tang Shengxian never met Zhang Jiao again, he stayed quietly in his military camp, and the accommodation conditions were not ideal here, but Tang Shengxian was not a pampered person, this bit of hardship was still eaten, just when Tang Shengxian thought that Zhang Jiao was going to forget him, the military order came.
"The Nanyang army is in a hurry, and the great sage and good division sent 30,000 reinforcements to support, and ordered Tang Jun, the general of the left vanguard, to go with his troops."
Tang Shengxian took over the military order, Nanyang? There will be a big battle there in ten days. Go ahead, that's your first battle, although it can't turn things around, but it must be fought beautifully. Tang Shengxian had already made up his mind.
It is now late May, and Tang Shengxian has been leading the training for more than a month, although the time is not comparable to the current training of recruits for at least three months, but the quality of Tang Shengxian's soldiers is significantly higher than that of other generals. Maybe that's why he was chosen to fight this time.
He has a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses, no adjutant generals, only two captains, none of them are manufacturable, they are just scholars who are drawn from the tall among the short, so basically Tang Shengxian personally contacted the junior officers, although it was a little troublesome, but the effect was good, but it was only suitable for non-humans like Tang Shengxian.
The military order is in the body, there must be no mistake, after ordering the soldiers and horses, Tang Shengxian set off, since he is the vanguard, then he will also go first, and the army will be behind.
This is a real marching battle, not a trick, Tang Shengxian has paid enough attention to it, even if it is now his own army, which looks more like a refugee army. Riding on the artificial BMW, Tang Shengxian slowly drove forward, his white robe has now become armor, and the outfit issued to him by the military quartermaster was thrown away by him at the first time, and it really takes a certain amount of courage to wear that dress, so Tang Shengxian asked Xiao Ai to make an armor similar to Sun Jun's, the materials are only high-end, but the ingenious design makes it look very heroic. This is the so-called technological aesthetics!
Although there are not many people of 2,000 people, there is only a total number of people in the three grades of high school, but a row of three people is also a long column from beginning to end, basically all of them are infantry, and there are only a dozen people on horseback, all of whom are petty officers.
The group had been walking for about three hours, and it was already the hottest noon, and the sun at the end of May was already a little scorching.
"Stop advancing, and the battalions will bury their pots and cook on the spot, and set out in an hour." This support is not an emergency support, but an increase in troops, so the time is not too urgent, Julu and Nanyang are about seventy-five kilometers away from each other in a straight line, and the extra road to take is about two hundred miles.
With the foot strength of these peasant soldiers, it takes about nine hours, that is, two days to travel, which makes Tang Shengxian, who is accustomed to modern rapid combat and rapid strike methods, a little novel, but this is the case with ancient marches and wars, most of the time is spent on the road, and it is still necessary to get used to it, even if two thousand people are just a matter of a few transport planes.
At night, only a few bonfires burned in the wilderness, and the Yellow Turbans had fallen asleep after a day's walk, and the mosquitoes could not wake them. Tang Shengxian in the camp is still meditating, the clear air here is abundant, it is a good place for cultivation, the Ming and Qing dynasties are not as good as now, Tang Shengxian is also thinking about the problem of cultivation when carrying Zhou Tian, he has been staying in the realm of Sanhua Gathering for a long time.
Some of the previous life-and-death struggles had made his state of mind beyond his current cultivation. What he needs is a breakthrough.
And the opportunity for this breakthrough is the "Taiping Qing Lingshu", like this kind of cultivation can only make Tang Shengxian's breakthrough foundation firmer, but it is difficult to go further, after all, Tang Shengxian has not gone through systematic learning, he is a wild fox Zen who cultivates the Tao on his own, in the main plane, there are many people who admire Taoist culture, they like to have the legendary Taoism, although not to say flying away, but it is also excellent to have such a small ability as exorcism and demon hunting.
They groped their way forward with limited information, but the ending was not too good, those who did not find the doorway were the luckiest, and those who found the wrong "intersection" and plunged into it were pathetic, and they practiced themselves to death and practiced uselessly.
Tang Shengxian was also one of such a handful of action factions at the beginning, but at that time there was an unknown system that could ensure that he would not play himself to death before going to cultivate, otherwise it is difficult to say what Tang Shengxian would be like now.
The Daozang that has been handed down about cultivation is only as high as the Three Flowers Gathering and the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan. The latter methods are all secrets of various Taoist sects, and most of them have been annihilated in the long river of history, so this opportunity is very rare, and it is difficult for Tang Shengxian, a person he respects, to use extraordinary means to seize the "Taiping Qing Collar Book" from Zhang Jiao's hands.
So we still have to find a way, when Tang Shengxian spit out the last breath of turbid air on the sixteenth week, the sky was already faint, and the group continued on the road.
A day later, Tang Shengxian's group finally came to Nanyang Wan County.
"Tang Jun, the left vanguard cavalry general under the command of the great virtuous and good teacher, asked to enter the city." The herald shouted, within three minutes, the north gate opened, Tang Shengxian lined up to enter, all the etiquette is according to the ancient books and materials that have been researched, but there is nothing wrong, but the Yellow Turban Army does not pay much attention to this set.
Soon Tang Shengxian met the legendary Zhang Mancheng.
"Meet General Zhang, under Tang Jun." Tang Shengxian handed it over.
"I know, you can lead the troops down."
"Yes." From Zhang Mancheng's tone, Tang Shengxian heard impatience, for some reason, they met for the first time, and Tang Shengxian's understanding of Zhang Mancheng was also very limited, in the nearly 100 years of the Three Kingdoms, he only appeared for more than three months and received the lunch.
But now that he is working under him, under his jurisdiction Tang Shengxian had better figure out some things, he turned around and left, but some of the things he brought with him were left.
"What's it, you look at him like a war-torn person, others don't know his details, I know very well."
"He just became a general directly because he studied Taoism for two years, and Lao Tzu worked hard to get this official position at the beginning, but let him pick up a ready-made one."
"It's, it's just, he's not worthy of it at all."
…………
It turned out that this was the case, his direct promotion touched the interests of some people, and Zhang Mancheng was fighting for his subordinates. It seems that there is such a thing as intrigue everywhere, and Tang Shengxian has already predicted that the next period of time will not be too easy.
But will Tang Shengxian have general knowledge with these? Obviously not, no matter what means you use, he will take it, and besides, this Zhang Mancheng is still a dying person. (To be continued.) )
