There is no way for a normal army to attack from a distance, because after marching for many hours, people are so tired that they lie on the ground, and they are here to send people to the head, and they talk about killing the enemy.

But the main force of 60,000 Yellow Turbans led by Zhang Bao was obviously different from the ordinary army.

The energy is particularly strong, and Zhang Bao himself is extremely admired from top to bottom, that is an abnormal army.

After Sun Ming discussed with Yu Li, judging from the battle last night, with their current strength, they were not enough to pose a threat to the thieves.

Sun Ming immediately ordered, "I don't know if the enemy will come to attack again, give the order to go down, open tomorrow morning, and we will retreat to the vicinity of the city of Dao." ”

At this time, the casualties outside the tent had been clearly calculated and handed to the big tent.

Yu Li read the statistics and said to everyone, "In the first battle of Qianzhai, our army suffered serious losses, and of the 3,000 people it brought with it, there are now 1,500 people left, and there are hundreds of wounded. ”

"There are less than 7,000 men left in our army now."

Sun Ming was silent for a moment, and then said, "Desen, you wait a minute, go and check the situation of the wounded soldiers first, and if there is a serious case, you must return to Daoren City in time." ”

"Let's put it this way, I'll check on the soldiers, and arrange the death and wound allowance by the way." Sun Ming changed his military uniform and summoned Li Meng to inspect the soldiers.

Sun Ming made a round trip and found that the matter was more serious than he imagined, because half of the army was made up of yellow turbans, and none of them had any beliefs.

Unlike the soldiers that Sun Ming brought out from Zhuo County, faith takes time, but Gao Yanagi's side obviously can't wait.

I couldn't see it when they won the battle, but now when they encounter a hard battle, they can't.

There are even those who are war-weary and have the idea of running away.

At present, it is impossible for this decadent army to fight, and now it is necessary to solve the two major problems of morale and strength.

Sun Ming muttered, "This small defeat can make everyone clear the reality, maybe this is a good thing, if the small defeat knows whether it is a blessing or not, if we can get through this level, we will be an iron army." ”

Sun Ming realized that it was impossible to confront Zhang Baojun if the number was too small, and what followed would be a hard battle.

There was also information from the Taoist side, and it was An Wen and An Wu, two of the eight protectors under Zhang Bao, who led the sneak attack yesterday, they were brothers and were extremely brave. ”

Then Sun Ming discussed the specific situation of recruiting troops with the generals, and one order after another came out of Sun Ming's mouth.

"Brother Jiangong, you go to Sangqian City to recruit people and horses and the remnants of Xingbi who were previously locked up in Sangqian City, now Sangqian City is still under the control of our army, you need to bring as many troops back as possible and return to the team within half a month."

"Brother Yun, you go to the 'Raccoon Clan' city near Daoren City to recruit soldiers, this is my letter, you take it to the county order, he will assist you, and you will return to the team within half a month."

"Brother Yide, your task is the farthest, you bring my letter to Dai County to borrow people, we have helped them break the siege before, they will not sit idly by, and you will return to the team in half a month."

"Listen, the military situation is urgent, please be sure to come back within the specified time."

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone set out with their troops with their own orders.

Sun Ming personally took Li Meng and a few people back to Daoren City, and they went to the county government to find the county commander Qiu Muli, and told him about his sneak attack.

Sun Ming also put forward the idea of recruiting people in Daoren City, hoping that Qiu Muli would cooperate with the posting of the notice.

"You're a round younger than me, I'll call you Junyi, I'll arrange the recruitment you said later."

"There is a big gap between you and the number of thieves, it's normal to fail, don't blame yourself too much, we Taoists also have the heart to rescue Gao Yanagi, but helplessly, the county lieutenant Meng Da's injuries have deteriorated, and he can no longer lead troops to fight."

That Qiu Muli is not a mean person, and they themselves have lost several battles, so they comforted Sun Ming not to care too much.

"There are more than 8,000 soldiers in this county, I will borrow 5,000 from you to kill the enemy, and there is only one request in this county order, to bring back to me the head of the thief An Wu who cut off Meng Da's arm."

Sun Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, he did not have the power to mobilize these local troops, and he could only lend them with the consent of the local leaders.

Just like he asked Yide to go to Daixian to borrow troops, it was because he had a friendship, and Sun Ming and this Qiu County Commander had only met twice, let alone a friendship.

Now Qiu Muli offered to lend troops to Sun Ming, which shows that Qiu Muli also thinks that Sun Ming can win, which may be the reputation of Sun Ming before, or it may be Sun Ming's courage to generously admit defeat.

The next day, Sun Ming gathered more than 7,000 people from his own army in the martial arts field, and Sun Ming stood on a high platform.

"Soldiers, I am heartbroken by the defeat a few days ago, we must become bigger and stronger to survive."

"Now I am mobilizing troops from all over the world, merging in one place, and deciding to fight to the death with the thieves!"

"I don't want to excuse our failures, but I fight for the sake of the dead brothers, for the sake of the 40,000,000 people."

"There are cowards, those who want to leave, and those who are incompetent and cowardly, they can leave today."

"But you are all bloody Han men, seeing that the rebels are in chaos in the country, so that there is no peace in the sky and no place for the people to live, are you willing to be slaves to the country!"

"I don't want to! Unwilling! Unwilling! Everyone in the audience shouted in unison.

"Okay, then raise your chest and actively prepare for war, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will be ashamed, and the Sun family army will be invincible!"

In the next few days, Sun Ming and Yu Li reorganized their armaments, expanded their camps, and constantly sent spies to inspect Zhang Baojun's situation.

The spies also brought back an important piece of information, although Zhang Baojun was very loyal to Zhang Bao personally, but the other generals were dissatisfied with each other and hindered each other.

They gathered around Zhang Bao by faith, and every general wanted to be Zhang Bao's second-in-command, and would attack others at the first opportunity.

This information is very important, and Yu Li asked the spies to continue to probe, especially the personalities of the generals.

Now there is not much time left for Sun Ming, Zhang Bao's special catapult is almost completed, once it is used on the battlefield, the Takayanagi defenders will be more than lucky.

After receiving Sun Ming's warrant, Xu Mu of Dai County happily gave 3,000 people, and after more than ten days of marching back and forth, he had arrived at Sun Ming's military camp.

The leader of the Dai County Army is Huang Ping, the general of the Yamen, who is quite brave and has made great contributions when he guarded Dai County.

This person also admired Sun Ming very much, so after coming to Sun Ming's camp, he obeyed his generals' orders in every way.

Because Sun Mingjun's prestige in Sangqian City was also high, Han Zhong returned with 3,000 people, of whom 800 were remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Yu also came back from the Shan Clan City, only bringing back more than 700 people, and the conscription of the Taoist City also had 1,000 people.

There are more than 20,000 people in total, and this is also the heaviest punch that Sun Ming has gathered from all over the world.

By the time all the troops had arrived, more than half a month had passed, and Sun Ming gave an order, and the whole army marched in the direction of Gaoliu.

He still set up a base camp on Mount Manroe and a front camp of 5,000 men at Pingguan.
