Chapter 122: Before the War (3)
In March 184 AD, in the face of the menacing Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty had to let go of the military power that was not in his hands, and ordered all states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels.
And with the release of military power by Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty and the rise of the heroes, a "great" "Great Patriotic War" that "shocked the world" broke out completely.
But at the same time, on the other side of the world, this great war is also breaking out.
Qi Lin, who was riding on horseback at the moment, marching with his troops while looking at the system map, was also annoyed by another big battle on Earth.
Because on the map of the imperial system, the temporary defense lines established by Qi Lin before leaving have now broken through three lines, and even the troops defending the city have lost a lot of casualties for some reason.
If it weren't for the timely arrival of the 300,000 reinforcements that Qi Lin had sent to support a few days ago, I'm afraid that what Qi Lin saw on the map today would not only be the last line of defense broken through, but the entire kingdom would have fallen.
"Damn the Romans, what a step in the eye! Bullying me is not there, and there is no one in the kingdom who can command the troops, right? ”
Qi Lin secretly scolded in his heart, and at the same time decided in his heart that he wanted to speed up his development in the Great Han, so that he could gain a firm foothold in the Great Han before the kingdom was broken, and then he could take the other 300,000 troops hoarded outside the pass to march west and wipe out the Romans who did not know the height of the sky.
Of course, I don't know if the word "heaven and earth" might be better used on Qi Lin's body......
However, there is another problem that is most difficult for Qi Lin to understand, that is, although there are not many troops left in the kingdom, there are about tens of thousands of them, and most of them are crossbow troops that are very conducive to defending the city in the game.
In addition, no less than hundreds of arrow towers have been built, and even if the Romans are to demolish them one by one, it will take a lot of effort.
However, since Qi Lin received the news that the kingdom's territory was attacked, it has only been ten days.
As a result, in just a dozen days, the Roman army was stunned in the multiple directions of his construction. Several loopholes were dug out, and even more than half of the troops defending the city were annihilated.
If it weren't for the reinforcements sent by Qi Lin who arrived in time without carrying any baggage and completely lightly armed, the Romans would have entered the country by this time and galloped freely in that kingdom's territory.
But now is obviously not the time to think about this, because the next moment, a herald hurried from the rear of the army on horseback, saying that Zhuojun Taishou Wen angrily patted him to ask for help.
After careful questioning, Qi Lin realized that it was Zhuojun Taishou Wen Nu who learned from several scouts. A yellow turban thief Cheng Yuanzhi led more than 50,000 thieves to invade Zhuo County.
Seeing that Qi Lin's 2,000 troops had not gone far, Wen Nu Taishou decisively sent someone to send a letter of help, hoping that Qi Lin could send troops to stop it.
Qi Lin naturally didn't mind this, after all, he just wanted to gain prestige as much as he could, so that he could get greater favors and benefits in the land of the Great Han.
…… Although these perks and benefits are put into the real world, there is no use for Qi Lin.
After sending someone to call the two NPCs, Guan Zhang, and Chu Yunsu, Qi Lin noticed the puzzled and blank looks on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces. Apparently the two men had seen the herald who had arrived in a hurry, but they didn't know what had happened...... Nonsense.
It was Chu Yun and Su Shuang. I don't know if it's because of the system, Qi Lin looked at their expressions, as if he vaguely knew the purpose of calling them here.
But no matter what, Qi Lin still informed the four of them of the news he had just learned. Then he saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both had excited and nervous looks on their faces, as if they were afraid that Qi Lin would give up this opportunity to fight.
Seeing this, Qi Lin smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry. No matter what, I won't leave this matter alone, and the purpose of our army's trip is to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves. Now the yellow turban thief has come to the door. Naturally, there is no reason to let go. ”
"Hey, lord, okay!" Hearing Qi Lin say this, Zhang Fei suddenly became excited, and he didn't care that he was still riding on horseback at this time, dancing excitedly.
"Zhang Junhou, you must not be rude in front of the lord." Guan Yu shouted when he saw this, and then saw Zhang Fei honestly quiet, but looking at his black and red face, it was obviously uncomfortable.
"Eh, it's okay, I understand Yide's mood!" Qi Lin smiled and waved his hand, signaling that Guan Yu didn't have to care, and then suddenly his face turned straight and said, "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chu Yun, and Su Shuang listen to the order." ”
"Humble duty!" The four of them perked up and hurriedly saluted Qi Lin.
"Order the four of you to immediately lead your soldiers and horses and go with me to Daxing Mountain to intercept the Yellow Turban Army." Qi Lin ordered.
"But my lord, there are 50,000 people in the Yellow Turban Army, and we only have 2,000, can we do it?" Guan Yu asked with a little worry.
"Eh, I'm afraid it will do anything, the two thousand soldiers and horses under the command of the lord are all elites in ten thousand, and the yellow turban thieves are just a group of rabble, as long as the enemy's main general is killed, only the remaining group of straw bales with incomplete blades in their hands, I am afraid that they will be scattered long ago. Besides, there is a certain Zhang Fei again, even if there are more thieves, he can kill him. Zhang Feiman said disdainfully.
"Yide is right, Yun Chang don't worry. According to the information I have obtained, the vast majority of the Yellow Turban Army are outcasts, and the armor is not uniform, so there is no need to worry, as long as the main general of the other side is killed, the rest of the people will scatter and flee for their lives, and I am afraid that they will not fight us at all. Qi Lin explained.
"No!"
Hearing what Qi Lin said, Guan Yu didn't ask any more, and together with Zhang Fei and the three of them, they happily accepted the order and rode away, and Qi Lin also called a herald (scout cavalry) under his command, and said: "Order the whole army, turn around, and move towards Taixing Mountain." ”
After a while, the troops, which were originally heading in the direction of Guangzong and intended to support Lu Zhibu, turned the direction of their march and left the official road under their feet directly, and walked into the mountains and forests and wilderness next to them.
Other troops may not dare to leave the official road lightly, but Qi Lin is not worried about this at all.
With the bug of the system map, and these good soldiers in hand, the rapid march and the crossing of the wilderness are completely as easy as usual.
Of course, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had no idea about this, were startled, and when they saw the troops leaving the mainland and burrowing into the mountains and forests next to them, they hurriedly returned to find Qi Lin.
"Lord, I don't know why you let the troops leave the main road and enter the mountains and forests? Doing so will probably lead the troops to scatter in the forest! Guan Yu persuaded anxiously, and his already red face seemed to become even redder because of this hurry. (To be continued......)
