I am Dong Zhao, the military advisor of the Taishan Army, and what you are seeing now is one of my codexes. It records how we defeated the Han soldiers on that most exciting afternoon in the sixth year of Guanghe.

Twenty miles east of Xingyang, we defeated the Han army in a field battle, not only annihilating the eastern camp of the Han army, but also severely defeating the most elite Youzhou Assault Cavalry of the Han army. I would like to record some of my small experiences in this battle for future generations to know.

In the sixth year of light and the fifteenth day of September, noon. Our army fought with the Han Huangwan Department at Yuegang.

The great victory in this battle was first and foremost due to the foresight of Qu Shuai, who laid out the tactic of "flowering in the center" before the war, and then adjusted the situation and dispatched the Chinese army to replace the originally planned Ruying Yellow Turban. There is no doubt that the victory of the temple is the basis for the victory of this battle. And staff members such as me have also made some insignificant contributions to this temple calculation.

Secondly, Guan Yubu, the captain of the Left Military Academy, was able to lead 2,000 armor soldiers to resist the attack of 10,000 Han soldiers, and it can be said that the courage, tenacity, and loyalty of Guan Jun and a cadre were an important reason for completing the task of grinding their hearts. After that, the right lieutenant Zhang Dan was able to know the shame and bravery, and took the lead in breaking through the reinforcements of the Han army, and also made a vital contribution to this battle.

In the end, the 4,000 armor soldiers of the Central Protector Army, no matter what the predicament, never wavered in their belief in Huang Tian, and believed that Qu Shuai could lead them to victory again. Under the leadership of Captain Yu Ban on the left and Cai Qu on the right, they withstood the enemy soldiers several times their own and were the heroes of this battle.

Of course, there is no doubt that the greatest credit for this battle belongs to Qu Shuai. It was Qu Shuai who was on the front line and did not avoid arrows, which inspired the morale of the whole army to live to death. It can be said that Qu Shuai is the best commander and general I have ever seen, and even Guangwu is not as good as Qu Shuai.

In this battle, our results were brilliant, and the losses of the Han army were so great that the emperor of the Han dynasty even had a corner of his bed. At least thousands of Han soldiers were strewn on the battlefield of Yuegang. Since I am not the secretary in charge, I do not have an accurate figure on the number of casualties of the Han army, but from the accounts of some relevant parties, 3,600 Han soldiers were killed and wounded, and 120 famous and powerful officers died. As for the number of deaths of some township soldiers, I don't know.

According to my friend, in this battle, the Gyeonggi Haoqiang army was swept away, and all the sons of the Haoqiang families with surnames in the territory died in this battle. It's a pity, how many well-dressed homes have made soil today.

As for the number of battle losses of our army, my friend did not tell me, but only mentioned one example, that is, the battle damage of the left part of the Central Protector Army. Its 2,000 men were the main force responsible for blocking the Youzhou Turquoise cavalry in the northwest, and it was also the one with the highest death toll in this battle.

The establishment of the 4,000 people in the middle guard army is like this, the 2,000 people on the left are divided into two parts and ten songs, 1,000 people bow and crossbow, and 1,000 people halberd. The two thousand people on the right are the compilation of five parts and ten songs, three halberds, a sword, and a bow and crossbow. The halberd on the left with the largest casualties was 208 before the war and 103 after the war, half of which was lost. It is said that the captain at that time, Yu Ban, cried directly after getting this battle damage.

It is said that during the war, he was shot by the enemy general, and an arrow hit his forehead, but the general shot on his forehead with a jade belt, and finally the jade broke and lived. And the jade belt is said to have been sent by Ding Sheng, and it can be seen from here that the Chinese and foreign armies are in traffic, and they can't be guarded against.

There's also a joke in this battle. It was in this battle that he served as a general who sniped the Youzhou Raider called Chang Xuan, this person was buried under the horse corpse and no one found it overnight, and when he was rescued later, no one even recognized this as Chang Xuan, but threw him in the pile of Han corpses, and was almost buried as a Han corpse.

At that time, Nachang Feng cried and wailed, calling out Yu Ban's name. Yu Ban was collecting the corpse of the robe under his command, and when he heard this sound, he immediately knew that it was Chang Xuan's voice, and hurriedly pulled Chang Xuan out of the corpse pile again, and also untied his military uniform, so that the doctor could save his life.

This incident was too bizarre, so afterwards, I found the baggage soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield at that time to inquire, only to know that there was a crimson military uniform outside the Chang Feng at that time, which was the military uniform of the Han army, and it was those baggage soldiers who threw him into the circle of the Han soldiers, and the military uniform behind it was picked up by Yu Ban.

Why would a Taishan army general wear the uniform of the Han army in the fiercest wartime? Naturally, you know everything. It's a pity, the army is sheltered, and they are complicit, and the warriors of their generation are still too arbitrary, and it depends on me in the future

and other means.

Finally, it is a great honor to be able to participate in such a battle that will go down in history. And I was in this battle, and I only did some trivial work, and I was praised by Qu Shuai, which made me even more frightened.

But then I thought, isn't this my generation's mission? Associate Yin and Yang, calm this troubled world, so that the surname Li Shu can be peaceful. If you can make one or two contributions to this, you will have no regrets about dying.

……

We do not mention here the greed of some of the staff, but only the evening of the day after the war.

The battle probably ended at unitary time.

Because the Han soldiers and heroic troops in the east camp generally left their war horses in the camp, and the strength of the three captains of the Taishan Army was staggered, so there was no time to run after the defeat, and they either died in battle or surrendered on their knees.

The only complete formation of the retreat in this battle was the three divisions of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry of the Han Army, the 500 Central Army Cavalry of the Deputy Marshal Zongyuan, the 500 Cavalry of Cui Jun on the right, and the White Horse Yicong of Sima Gongsun Zan in the rear.

Among these three, the most clever one to withdraw is Gongsun Zhan, and then Cui Jun, as for the sect members, because they were still cowardly, they were bitten off a large piece by Zhang Chong and Tian Jun who rushed over, especially Zhang Chong's bloody battle once killed the sect members, and he was so shocked that this person threw down the canopy and the scepter, and rode wildly.

In the end, Zhang Chong and the other cavalry were unable to pursue because of the bloody battle for too long and the lack of men and horses, so they could only watch half of the Youzhou cavalry march away.

Youzhou Tucai can naturally run away if he has a horse, but most of the Han soldiers who stayed on the battlefield were miserable.

At that time, the small battlefield was full of dead and wounded soldiers of the Han army, the heroic army, the Taishan army, and the Ruying Yellow Turban.

Among them, the Han army had the largest number of soldiers, and its Chinese army originally had 2,000 Yanzhou soldiers and 3,000 Hedong soldiers, and there were more than 3,000 people lying there. Then there are the heroic soldiers, there are 10,000 people, there are more than 2,000 lying down, and the rest are the Taishan Army and the Ruying Yellow Turban, which also lay down more than 4,000, of course, most of them are from the Yellow Turban Army. Only the previous collapse was killed and injured by the Youzhou Raiders.

Because there are so many people, the specific number cannot be counted. The Guangtai Mountain Army itself, it will take several days to clean up their own wounded soldiers, how can they have the time to count the enemy's headquarters.

The wounded officers of the Taishan Army in this battle should thank Zhang Chong again. Thanks to Zhang Chong's establishment of a team of medical craftsmen when he established the army. From the very beginning of Zhang Chong's personal cultivation to the various witch doctors absorbed by the various witch doctors along the way, the number has reached five hundred, and they can even start hematopoietic cultivation by themselves.

It was with simple hygiene knowledge, debridement, and herbal medicine that the earliest health system of the Taishan Army began.

The stretcher bearers who accompanied the army continued to send the Taishan Army and the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been collected from the frontline battlefield to the medical artisan camp for treatment.

However, before the battle, because of the need to reduce the number of troops to improve the combat effectiveness of the team. There were not many stretcher bearers who could accompany the army, so the doctors directly requisitioned a batch of carts for the baggage battalion to transport the wounded back to the camp in the baggage carts.

Really, the number of casualties in this battle is too much, the Taishan army has fought for four years, and the number of casualties has never exceeded 1,000. And what about this time? He Kui, who got the specific death toll of the whole army, sighed and said to Zhang Chong:

"Our Taishan army, if we fight a few more battles like this, we will be defeated directly."

The specific number of casualties, only a small number of senior generals of the Taishan Army know, but they are worried that after the number is announced, morale will be damaged.

On this night, the carts that shuttled through the battlefield to transport the wounded were non-stop, and the garmentier's battalion was also brightly lit. The Chinese army of the Taishan army did not have a celebration banquet, and after the officials and soldiers returned to the barracks, they fell asleep after eating a meal of horse meat and corn.

But more people can't sleep yet, such as Zheng Da, who is pulling a cart on the battlefield.

Zheng Da was a Xingyang disciple who voluntarily surrendered to the Taishan Army in the Battle of Yingyang. After that, he returned to his hometown with the army, but unfortunately when he returned home, his home was gone, and then he lived with the Taishan army.

He had always been a gravity man before, and it just so happened that their deputy at that time was Mao Shao, the heroic man who was conceited and brave and always wanted to cheer up his family.

After that, Mao Shao took Xiaole away and entered the assault ride, with a great future. And he Zhengda still stayed in the baggage team, safe and sound. Just like now, many warriors are dead, lying in front of him, and he is still alive and well.

The battlefield is full of bonfires, which are specially borrowed for Zheng Da and these gravity men.

At this time, Zheng Da opened a Han army in a crimson military uniform, first touched the man's pocket, and found a string of copper coins. Zheng Da was overjoyed, looked left and right, and saw that everyone was working, so he took the opportunity to put the copper coin in his pocket.

Zheng Da, who has a color head, has worked harder to carry it. But the battlefield was terrified, with blood, stumps, and headless corpses everywhere. It's not that there are many people who are busy carrying it, and Zheng Da may be scared to pee.

After accidentally stepping on a piece of that I don't know who pulled, Zheng Da touched a gaspy one.

Before they set off, the officials said that they would pull the Taishan army first, then pull the dead in battle, and finally pull the Yellow Turban Army to bring the gas if there is a position. There was no mention of the Han army in the whole process.

Then the light of the fire, Zheng Da took a closer look at this angry one. Well, there are yellow scarves, armor garments, leggings, and yellow arms. didn't run away, it's our own people in the Taishan Army.

Zheng Da was about to pick off this person's armor, but suddenly his wrist was grabbed by the man. In the dark night, a pair of murderous eyes stared at Zheng Da, coupled with the blood on his face, like a demon.

Zheng Da was just about to run, but he found out, how familiar is this person? Looking at it again, isn't this Xiaole?

That's right, it is Lejin who is lying under the corpse now.

In this battle, Tian Jun, the captain of the turk cavalry, personally led two thousand turk cavalry to break into the right flank of the Han army from the right side of the battlefield, and Le Jin was with the team to kill Xu Huang. The advance was swift, and the heroic troops clearly had no experience in resisting the onslaught of the cavalry.

At that time, their 2,000 horsemen were divided into five wheels, each round rushing to a part, and each time they rushed according to the team. This kind of repeated impact, as if the five walls were lined up and pressed, and there were more than 5,000 people in the heroic force of the Han army around the right flank, and they did not withstand the three rounds, so there was no formation.

But the overall collapse of the Han army did not mean that there were no warriors, Lejin was smashed off his horse by a Han warrior and fainted during the first round of sprints.

Zheng Da didn't expect to meet Pao Ze here, and pointed at himself with his teeth:

"Xiaole, me! Zheng Da!"

Le Jin also saw this person clearly, smiled, and softened again.

Seeing the robe, Zheng Da didn't want to touch the corpse, so he was busy pulling up Le Jin and getting on the cart, and he had to go back directly.

He'd heard those healers say that the sooner they were pulled back, the better the chance of survival. Zheng Da couldn't see where Lejin was injured, but the sooner he pulled it back, the more he would be right.

As soon as he pulled Le Jin onto the board car, Le Jin gasped and said in a rough voice:

"Lao Zheng, you do me a favor, there is a Han soldier two steps in front of me, you can help me see if I am angry." If he's still angry, you can pull him up too."

As soon as Le Jin said, Zheng Da shook his head, and he said:

"Xiao Jin, don't you know, many Lifu have saved the Han army who is still angry before, but guess what? Those Han soldiers beat a rake, and they didn't know how to be grateful and took the opportunity to kill many of us. So, the officials said, let's leave those Han soldiers alone. Xiaojin, you are too young to know that people are sinister. Man, he's broken."

Zheng Da said some truth bits and pieces, but Le Jin smiled bitterly:

"Lao Zheng, just do me this favor, I'll remember it."

Zheng Da hesitated, when he was in the same baggage camp with Le Jin before, he liked Xiaole very much, not to mention martial arts, but also kind-hearted. But what if the other side is an ignorant and wants to kill him, what will he do?

Le Jin saw Zheng Da's hesitation, so he said:

"Lao Zheng, that person fought with me before, and was smashed by me, and he was seriously injured if he didn't die, he must not be able to hurt you."

With these assurances, Zheng Dacai sighed and said:

"Xiaole, you're really a good person."

As he spoke, Zheng Da paced, and then he saw a Han official in a crimson military uniform, with a scarlet shirt, big armor, and a pair of cowhide boots. This will make the person frown, not a slight movement of the nose, just a dead man.

Zheng Da picked up a broken spear on the ground and poked the man, and when he saw that he didn't move, he walked over carefully, and then picked it up and sent it to the cart.

However, Zheng Da didn't pull the car first, but directly took off the cowhide boots of the Han official, straight

It's on your own feet, not to mention, it's a little bigger.

Le Jin, who watched the whole process, didn't say anything, only laughed all the time.

Zheng Da, who had gained a lot, finally pulled Le Jin and the unknown Han official back, where the lights were bright, and it was the Yuegang camp of the Taishan army.

Half-lying on the cart, Le Jin looked at the Han officials on the side, this is his own spoils of this battle.

He thought about what Zheng Da said just now, the Han army was unwilling to treat them, and killed the Lifu who helped them. It's weird, how can anyone think of dying even though they can live?

It's not that Zheng Da is lying, there have indeed been several incidents of wounded Han soldiers killing Lifu.

However, the reasons for each are also more complicated. On the one hand, this is the Han army is afraid of the Taishan army, they have heard a lot of rumors in the camp, saying that the moth thieves are a group of crazy people, why do they never need supplies? It is because they eat people, they eat prisoners in every battle, and they will plunder the dingkou of the countryside as military rations. Therefore, these Han soldiers were afraid that they would be eaten, so they killed people under pressure.

There is also the reason for the hatred of the Han army for the Taishan army. Most of the wounded were members of the Gyeonggi Empire, and they were all brothers and nephews who joined the army in the Eastern Expedition. Now that Lang Jun is dead and his family is dead, they were all killed by the Taishan army, so they didn't plan to live, and they had to kill two Taishan soldiers to avenge before they died.

But these are all speculated by the officers of the Taishan Army. They don't know the real reason, and the Lifu won't tell them. That is, many Han soldiers killed Lifu because they stole their belongings.

As long as these Lifu saw something, they took it from the wounded soldiers and corpses of the Han army. It's like Zheng Da, didn't he just take a string of copper coins here, and a cowhide boot over there? Many Han soldiers killed those Lifu when they were guarding their belongings.

However, this is also unavoidable, and letting these Lifu transport the wounded has already tacitly allowed these people to covet some small profits. Originally, these were all cleaned by the army themselves, but this battle Taishan army fought to this extent, how can they still have the strength to clean up the battlefield?

However, didn't Ding Shengbu stay in the camp before? Can't he clean?

In fact, at this moment, Ding Sheng is occupying the camp of the Han army and cleaning up here. Compared with the remnants on the battlefield, the Han army camp is the real important place.

As soon as Zhang Chong returned to the camp, he gave Ding Sheng an order, ordering him to occupy the Han army's camp outside Xingyang, and then do nothing and guard until dawn.

Ding Sheng, who had obtained the military order, was overjoyed and went north with 2,000 soldiers.

Can Ding Sheng not be happy? This accounts for the fattest difference of the enemy's barracks, which has nothing to do with how much money you take, you will pay it anyway. The important thing here is that this represents Qu Shuai's trust in him Ding Daqi. Not the first cronie, can you do this?

Ding Sheng really thought about it too much, he had forgotten that at this moment, he was the only one left in the whole army that could move. If you don't let him go, who will?

Before the sun set, Ding Shengbu passed through the bloody battlefield and occupied the Han army camp five miles away.

There, they not only captured the mountains of baggage left by the Han army, but also caught a few kitchen temples in Huang Wan's handsome tent, which were all of Huang's own family.

In addition to these, the more critical is Huang Wan's letters. Among them, there are correspondence with Liu Hong in Kyoto and some other ministers, as well as letters with Zhang Wen and Zhu Jun in Runan, and letters with Lu Zhi in Hebei.

Originally, Ding Sheng was still opening a warehouse to inspect the grain, because the food consumption of the Taishan army was too large, and the people ate and chewed horses had exceeded the feeding capacity of the Heji base area, so Ding Sheng had to open the warehouse as soon as possible, and first count the grain that was related to the life and death of the whole army.

But then the soldiers sent Huang Wan's letter to Ding Sheng, Ding Sheng only looked at it twice, then opened it with a serious face, and after reading all the letters, Ding Sheng, who was a bit of a "city government", couldn't help but exhale:

"What the hell!"
