Chapter Fifty-Seven: Zhang Niujiao Strikes
"On the defensive, one platoon retreats, and the second and third platoons attack immediately." The order was given again, and one after another feathered arrows continued to be fired under the aim of the cavalry, while the cavalry blocking the intersection slowly retreated, reducing the possibility of feathered arrows accidentally injuring their own people.
The attack of the feather arrows, the Green Ox Guards could no longer stop it. After the fourth round of feathered arrow attacks, the Green Bull Guards were completely wiped out. Not a single one of the 100 ordinary officers and men survived. As for Li Shan, the commander of the Qingniu Guard, due to the attack of the feather arrows, his moves were chaotic, and he was finally stabbed to death at the city gate by Wang Si.
And Li Wen didn't know all this, because he put all his energy into resisting the attack of Fan Fengming's troops outside the city, and he even forgot that there was a cavalry in the city.
"Zhang He, you take someone to open the city gate and accept the brothers outside into the city." At this time, Wang Si had just fought a big battle, his physical strength was seriously overdrawn, his face was pale, and his voice was very weak.
=========== dividing line =========================================
The mighty Yellow Turban Rebellion finally ended in failure with Zhang Jiao's illness and death, but the hundred-legged insects died but did not stiffen, and the believers under Zhang Jiao did not give up the struggle against the Han Dynasty, including Zhang Yan of Montenegro. Taihang Mountain Zhang Niujiao, Yanshan Zhang Bai riding is the most.
Zhang Niujiao, a native of Jizhou, Zhang Niujiao is an orphan, his real name is Zhang Niuer, and Zhang Niujiao is just his nickname. Zhang Niujiao was originally a serf herding cattle for others. In an accident, I ran into Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao accepted him as a disciple and passed it on to him in the first volume, "Taiping Yaoshu". After that, Zhang Niujiao led a part of the Taiping Dao believers to protect Zhang Jiao and preach everywhere. Because when the battle occurred, he agreed to use the horn as the name with his subordinates, so he got the title of "Zhang Horn".
After the "Tiangong General" Zhang Jiao died of illness, the Julu Yellow Turban was broken by the Han army. The mighty Yellow Turban Uprising failed, but Zhang Niujiao gathered hundreds of thousands of people in Taihang Mountain after the Han army moved south, and attacked the city with every opportunity. And Le'an under the management of Fan Xiwen and others, the people's livelihood is getting richer and richer, and this piece of fat has already made Zhang Niujiao salivate, and he was heavily guarded by Le'an before. There is no way to speak, and Zhang Niujiao can only stare dryly on the side.
But now it's different, Fan Xiwen raised troops to attack Anping, and Zhang Niujiao thought that the time had come. So it was decided to raise troops to attack Le'an.
After discussion from top to bottom of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Niujiao decided to raise 20,000 troops to attack Le'an's two strongholds in Taihang Mountain. In addition, the 60,000 troops were personally led by Zhang Niujiao to attack Le'an, which was a severe test of the situation, and this battle was the first experiment of whether the Le'an army could conquer the world. If it wins, the strength of the Le'an army will naturally rise, but if it is defeated, then there will be nothing.
The reason why Zhang Jiao failed was because he stretched the battle line too wide. On this broad front, however, there was a group of peasants with hoes, and in such a situation, Zhang Jiao could not be defeated. And Zhang Niujiao obviously saw this, he stationed all the 120,000 yellow scarves on the west side of Taihang Mountain, and did not blindly expand to the surrounding areas for half a year. And Zhang Niujiao kept training the army. To improve the combat effectiveness of the army, this yellow turban has a place that is obviously different from the previous yellow scarf, and they can still maintain their strength without the spiritual pillar of Zhang Jiao, which is all the prestige of Zhang Niujiao.
"Big, wolf smoke everywhere." The guards didn't care whether Fan Xiwen, who was in the room, got up or not, and pushed the door directly, looking panicked, obviously the situation was unexpected.
"What's the matter, so flustered?" Fan Xiwen's expression was still a little lazy, last night's continuous impact made him seriously overdrawn, after the city was broken, not only to deal with the aftermath, but also to send troops to hunt down the Qingniu Guards outside the city. The time was too tight, and even the Li family didn't come to deal with it, and everyone was tired. Many of the pawns even slept in their clothes. The degree of exertion can be seen.
"My lord, the wolf smoke in the white wolf village is everywhere, and the twelve pillars of wolf smoke are everywhere.
"What?" Fan Xiwen was taken aback and immediately jumped up from the bed. The twelve-pillar wolf smoke is currently the highest level of warning, and the lighting of this wolf smoke is controlled by strict procedures. First, the transmission of information must be personally handed over to Zhou Jian, the person in charge of the White Wolf Village, through the hand of Liu Zhao, the commander of the reconnaissance company: Second, after Zhou Jian receives the information, he must send someone to confirm it again and again, until he gets the final assessment, and then the person in charge will light the beacon. was able to make Zhou Jian use the twelve pillars of wolf smoke, and the enemy situation this time was definitely at the most critical moment.
"Quickly inform Lord Bookkeeper and order him to immediately reorganize the army." Fan Xiwen said to the guard.
"Yes". The guard replied loudly, and then quickly ran to inform Fan Fengming.
"Someone," Fan Xiwen shouted loudly outside.
"My lord, what do you command?" A soldier ran into Fan Xiwen's room, and Fan Xiwen was already dressed in a daze.
"Order the Jinyi Guard, the cavalry company quickly assembled, and rush back to Le'an with me."
Fan Xiwen led the troops back to Le'an, and at the same time ordered Fan Fengming to quickly assemble the troops, and divided a regiment of troops to support Fan Xiwen.
Of course, Fan Fengming's task is also very heavy.
The only force in Taihang Mountain that has the ability to make Zhou Jian ignite the Twelve Pillars Beacon Fire is the Zhang Niujiao Yellow Turban Force, and it almost poured out. Judging from Le'an's current strength, this war is definitely a protracted war. Therefore, what Fan Fengming has to do is to build Anping into another living force. At the critical moment, he gave Zhang Niujiao a heavy punch.
What Fan Fengming has to do now is to stabilize the situation in Anping, and then confiscate all the Li family's fields, property, and tenants, so as to strengthen his strength in Anping. Finally, recruit soldiers and horses to attack Zhang Niujiao.
