CHAPTER XVI
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun completely wiped out Bocai, and the Yingchuan realm finally relieved the suffering of the Yellow Turban. Huangfu Song decided to take advantage of the victory to march into Xihua, send troops to Xihua, and cook Peng Tuo, who was entrenched in Xihua, to completely extinguish the thieves in Yingchuan, Runan, and Nanyang counties!
After Bocai was exterminated, Peng Tuo was in Xihua City, anxious to turn around. He knew his situation very well, the 100,000 troops of Bocai were wiped out by the official army, and he did not have many people, counting the old, weak, sick and disabled, at most 70,000 or 80,000. With such a force, it is definitely not Huangfu Song's opponent.
Peng Tuo has one person under him, surnamed Zhang Minghua. is a poor scholar, just because he knows a few words, he was promoted to be a military advisor by Peng Tuo. When Peng Tuo was distressed, this Zhang Hua said to Peng Tuo: "Don't panic, Xihua City is small and broken, it is difficult to hold the official army attack, as soon as we are in the next place, we might as well withdraw from Xihua and defect to Wancheng Zhao Hong Zhao Dashuai?" He has enough soldiers and food, so he has the strength to fight with the official army! ”
Peng Tuo thought about it, but he couldn't make up his mind for a long time. Peng Tuo was a rude person, and in his early years, he joined the Taiping Sect with Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong and others. In just a few years, Zhang Mancheng pulled up a team of more than 100,000 people to capture Wancheng. This made Peng Tuo very envious, thinking that he and they were both people who joined the church together, why did he carry his life to such a point.
Immediately, Peng Tuo dragged Zhang Mancheng away, and at the junction of Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Runan, he began to develop the congregation, recruit troops, and prepare to do a big job. Peng Tuo listened to Zhang Hua's suggestion, kept a certain distance from the surrounding Yellow Turban Army, did not collude or alienate, and concentrated on developing his own strength.
When Peng Tuo had thousands of troops, he took Xihuacheng directly, killed the county Cheng, and strengthened a large number of grain, grass and ordnance. Peng Tuo was a little fluttering. Under Zhang Hua's hard persuasion, Peng Tuo took out some of the grain and distributed it to the poor people. Since then, Peng Tuo has been like a fish in water in Xihua, and many people have volunteered to join Peng Tuo's Yellow Turban Army. Soon from the original thousands of people, expanded to tens of thousands.
With these tens of thousands of horses, Peng Tuo began to expand his territory. Lushan, Xiangcheng, Ye, Gucheng and other places near Xihua were often harassed by him. The government was powerless in the face of tens of thousands of yellow turbans, so it could only be plundered.
Peng Tuo lived freely in Xihua, and the original bit of blood was slowly worn out. When he heard that Huangfu Song had exterminated Bocai, with his not very sensitive sense of smell, he also smelled out a dangerous breath. Peng Tuo has never looked down on Bo Cai, Bo is the real people, and Peng Tuo is a middle class.
Peng Tuo felt that Bocai would only act righteously, but he didn't know that he couldn't get there. Peng Tuo listened to Zhang Hua's suggestion, thought for a long time and shook his head and said: "We have tens of thousands of horses, and when we see the official army, we will hug our heads and run away, and we will be laughed to death by Zhao Hong!" I, Peng Tuo, must not be the laughing stock of others! ”
Zhang Hua continued to persuade: "Dashuai, this is not a head-hugging rat, this is called a strategic retreat!" ”
Peng Tuo didn't wait for Zhang Hua to finish speaking, and stopped: "Sir, don't say any more, retreat without dueling with the official army, this is not my style, if that's the case, don't talk about others, I will look down on myself!" ”
Zhang Hua wanted to persuade him again, but Peng Tuo turned around and went out. Looking at Peng Tuo's back, Zhang Hua shook his head and sighed: "The sky has no eyes!" ”
Huangfu Song's men and horses soon arrived in Xihua. I saw that the gate of Xihua City was closed, and a group of Yellow Turban soldiers patrolled the city, and saw that the officers and soldiers of the brigade did not panic a little. Huangfu Song said to Zhu Jun: "Let that kid say it again, this Peng Tuo really didn't run!" ”
Zhu Jun said: "Peng Tuo didn't run, but seeing that he is ready, this battle is probably not easy to fight!" ”
Huangfu Song ordered to set up camp. The officers and soldiers camped outside Xihua City. Peng Tuo stood at the head of the city, looked at the bonfires dotted below, patted the female wall and said with a smile: "The old man of the emperor is too arrogant, can such a few men and horses attack the city?" It seems that this old man is also a rice bucket, hahaha......"
The soldiers burst into laughter. Zhang Hua was silent, looking at the military array below and frowning. A young general suddenly said: "Dashuai, kill chickens with a knife, watch me go down and pick their camp!" ”
Peng Tuo nodded in agreement. The little marshal got on his horse with his gun and rushed out of the drawbridge with thousands of yellow scarves and came to the front of the two armies. Li Hui smiled when he saw it: "Doll, how old are you, why don't you even have a stubble?" ”
The young general did not show weakness: "Look at yourself before saying others, I don't have stubble, you may not have hair underneath!" ”
Li Hui was furious, he hated it most when others said he was small. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are both elderly people, and their children are older than themselves, saying that they are young, which is okay. Except for these two, in the entire Southern Army, whoever saw Li Hui did not respectfully shout the boss.
"Boy, look for a fight!" Li Hui raised his gun and swooped down on the young general, and the two fought together. Li Hui thought that he had learned some skills from Zhu Jun, and when he fought with this young general, it was not the case at all. The young general's gun flew up and down, picking, chopping, sweeping, and stabbing, all in one go.
Li Hui quickly messed up, and the tricks that Zhu Jun gave him had no place to play at all. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun stood on a high place, watching the two fight in front of the battle. Huangfu Song said: "General Zhu, your apprentice is going to fail!" ”
Zhu Jun blushed and said angrily: "This kid, let him practice hard, the battlefield is a child's play, he wants to be reckless, stab!" Sweep, sweep! ”
Huangfu Song laughed: "How do I think you are more anxious than that kid, don't worry, I can see that that kid is injured to the point that it is possible, and he will never lose his life!" ”
Before Huangfu Song's words were finished, Li Hui didn't pay attention to it, the tip of the young general's gun had already reached the lower abdomen. Li Hui hurriedly turned sideways, who expected this move to be a false move. Li Hui turned to one side, and the tip of the young general's gun suddenly drew a circle in mid-air, from left to right, and swept over Li Hui's waist and eyes. Li Hui hurriedly blocked with a gun.
This move was still a false move, the young general's gun was slightly retracted an inch, and the tip of the gun just bypassed Li Hui's gun barrel and slashed through Li Hui's lower abdomen.
Before the battle, Zhou Cang specially found a piece of armor for Li Hui to change into. Li Hui tried the weight, at least fifty or sixty pounds, and he felt that it was in the way before he wore it. Li Hui said to Zhou Cang: "I am strong in martial arts, I don't need to wear this bulky thing, wearing it will affect my performance!" ”
The tip of the young general's spear made a long cut on Li Hui's lower abdomen. Immediately, the clothes were stained red with blood. Li Hui was paying attention to fighting with the young general, and he didn't pay attention at all, he was already injured, and he was still struggling to resist the young general's attack.
After another five or six rounds, Li Hui finally understood a little. The gun moves that Zhu Jun handed over to him were all connected, and when fighting, they had to be disassembled and used, and when they used that move, they should be determined by the time, and they must not rest on top of the existing gun moves.
Knowing this, the original one-sided fight gradually became better!
