Chapter 14: Borrowing Army
Wang Wujiu was cautious along the way, confirming that no one was following behind, so he made seven turns and nine rounds, hijacked Cao Cao back to Heifeng Village, handed it over to Mei Changfeng, and ordered Heifengzhai's subordinates to tie Cao Cao up and guard him tightly, so as not to give him a chance to escape.
After doing all this, Wang Wujiuli rode a fast horse and galloped all the way, and soon returned to the location of Cao Cao's army.
"General," the young man rolled over from his horse and bowed his hand to Zhuo Dingzuo to apologize: "Qiyang is urgent, and I have no choice but to make this decision." I also ask the general to keep his promise and allocate 1,000 elite soldiers, and the general will lead the rest of the army and horses to gallop to the aid of Changshe. ”
Zhuo Ding saw that the young man in front of him had a resolute gaze, a brilliant temperament, and a decisive and thoughtful action, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
"I heard you say that there are more than 3,000 Yellow Turban rebels besieging Qiyang, even if I allocate you a thousand men and horses, how can you defeat those 3,000 rebels?" Zhuo Ding wondered in his heart, even though this young man was superb in martial arts, but after all, he was a grass bandit and did not understand the art of war, how could he solve the siege of Qiyang.
"Although this group of Yellow Turban Army has a large number of people, it is not the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and there are not many baggage equipment, and most of the soldiers are Yingchuan farmers, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. In addition, a small county has not been captured in ten days, and the army must be discouraged and exhausted, and the general's men are all elite generals, and there are cavalry charges, which cannot be compared with the rabble of 3,000. ”
"In addition, I am a native of Qiyang County, and the time and place are all right, so why worry about not retreating from the enemy."
Zhuo Ding listened to Wang Wujiu's analysis of the situation, and he was thorough and organized, so he couldn't help but nod again and again, and glanced at this reckless young man higher.
"Okay, since you have such a plan, I can rest assured that I will hand over my Qianerlang from Jizhou to you! But I hope you will triumph as soon as possible and take Captain Cao to join me at Changshe. ”
"That's natural, I thank the general on behalf of the 30,000 people of Qiyang!"
Wang Wujiu looked solemn and bowed to Zhuo Ding.
"Order, allocate 200 cavalry, 800 infantry troops, follow this young man's march, before returning to the Changshe, he is your general!"
Subsequently, Wang Wujiu did not stay long, and after borrowing 1,000 elite soldiers, he retreated with the army, parted ways with Zhuoding's army, and marched separately.
On the mountain road of Zhenshan, Wang Wujiu ordered the officers and men of the whole army to repair in the same place.
"General Wang, aren't you going to take us to relieve the siege of Qiyang? Why did you stop here? ”
The person who questioned him was the lieutenant general who commanded this cavalry, named Li Ying.
"Wait, you'll find out in a moment."
Li Ying was puzzled, so she had to wait in place.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Ying suddenly heard movement in the mountains and fields on both sides, and he hurriedly drew his saber and reminded Wang Wujiu to order vigilance.
"General Li doesn't need to panic, this is my brother in the Black Wind Village, and he is my own person."
The people in the mountains and forests showed their figures, and it was Mei Changfeng who brought the eighty brothers from the Black Wind Village from the mountain. This group of people did not carry weapons as usual, but each of them picked a flat pole, and the wooden barrels on both sides of the pole were steaming and fragrant, making these soldiers who had not eaten a good meal for several days salivate, and for a while, Wang Wujiu and Li Ying only heard the sound of the soldiers swallowing saliva on the road.
Putting the flat shoulder down, Li Ying also smelled the aroma of wine and meat, and he asked the young man in surprise: "General Wang, what is this?" ”
Wang Wujiu stood on his horse, turned to the sergeants, and said loudly to the soldiers: "Brothers, I, Wang Wujiu, borrowed troops from Cao Duwei in order to solve my Qiyang's crisis. But I saw that you had been marching for several days, and your bodies were tired, so I asked us to make a good meal for you. When you have eaten this meal, you will slay the Yellow Turban thief with me!" I, the people of Qiyang, are naturally grateful. ”、
Wang Wujiu used the true qi in his body when he spoke, and although his voice was not loud, it could be heard clearly by all the soldiers present.
"Don't say much, brothers, let's eat!"
After receiving Wang Wujiu's signal, the people of Heifeng Village opened the food that had just been prepared in the flat pole one by one and distributed it to the thousand soldiers.
All of a sudden, in the wilderness of Zhenshan, there is the aroma of wine and meat, and those who pass by here think that Zhenshan has built a street of restaurants and restaurants at some point.
Li Ying also got some wine and food, and he ate one piece of meat, which was extremely tender and delicious, but he couldn't taste what kind of meat it was.
"General Wang, what kind of meat is this, why do I never seem to have eaten it?"
"Brother Li, this is the meat of a thousand-year-old python demon that I obtained from Black Wind Village, how does it taste?" Wang Wujiu said with a smile.
"I ate it, but I felt that the fatigue of the day's march had been thrown away! Even the strength of this skill in me has been restored! Li Ying took a big bite on the python meat in his hand, and praised the snake meat for being delicious.
He didn't expect that following this young young bandit would have such benefits.
"Whether it is a general sitting in the Chinese army or a soldier on the front line, they are all human beings, and they all need to be well fed before they can fight a good battle."
Wang Wujiu looked at the soldiers around him like hungry wolves, scrambling for food, wine and meat in the wooden barrel, for fear that he would eat less, and couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, all the food, wine and meat brought by the people in Heifeng Village were wiped out, and the thousand sergeants were full of wine and food, showing a long-lost smile.
"General Li, order all centurions to go out of the earthquake mountain and march at full speed towards Qiyang County!" Wang Wujiu stepped back on his horse and gave orders.
A thousand troops set off again, this time the speed of the march was obviously much faster than before, seeing that the soldiers were in good spirits after being full of wine and food, Wang Wujiu nodded with satisfaction, this is the elite division of the tiger and wolf that he wants to arrive!
……
Under the city of Qiyang, in the Yellow Turban barracks,
A general wearing rattan armor and a yellow scarf was pacing back and forth in the big tent, and the anxiety in this person's heart could be seen in his steps.
This is already the eleventh day that he was blocked under Qiyang City, and General Bocai, who was besieging Changshe, gave him an ultimatum that if he couldn't take Qiyang today, he would commit suicide and apologize.
At the beginning, he swore to Bocai that he would be able to take this Qiyang County in less than a day, but now the 3,000 Yellow Turban Army has been fighting hard for days and has suffered heavy losses, and he has not even captured the main city, which he could never have imagined.
In the past ten days, he has tried all kinds of schemes, trebuchets and rockets have been transferred from elsewhere to attack the city. But this Qiyang County just can't take it, I don't know how many times the Yellow Turban sergeant climbed the city tower, and was killed by the officials and soldiers above.
After days of hard fighting, their strength has been sharply reduced by five hundred, he really doubts that there is a main force of the official army defending the city in this Qiyang City, but doesn't the intelligence say that the main force of the official army has retreated to the Changshe?
"Someone!" After thinking for a moment, the general finally made a ruthless decision and ordered: "Gather all the soldiers who are repairing and go out of the camp to fight!" ”
"Let 1,500 people be the overseer team, and 1,000 people be the siege team, if anyone dares to retreat from the front, whether he is a centurion or an ordinary soldier, the overseer will shoot him on the spot!"
"The siege team lost a hundred men, and the overseers were replenished to the vanguard team of a hundred; The siege team lost 500 men, and the overseer team was replenished with 500 men! ”
"In short, before dawn, we must break through the east and west gates of Qiyang!"
One after another military orders were issued from the military tent, the fire in the Yellow Turban military camp flickered, the teams mobilized and assembled, dispatched all the catapults, and the army left the camp and attacked Qiyang City!
