Volume 1 Chapter 399 Qingzhou Thieves
Thick clouds covered the sun, torrential rain continued, as in compensate for the drought of the previous months, and the rain in May came non-stop, and the sun could not be seen when it came early in the morning, and the war was very affected.
In the rain curtain, the sound of sorrow and forgiveness was endless, and the Cao army urged the climbing, the general of the city was pale, and he raised his hand several times and hesitated, and saw that the ladder climbed up, or waved his hand and ordered: "Let go of the arrow." ”
Someone shouted urgently: "General, although these are the families of thieves who were reprimanded by Cao Cao, they are actually the people of the surrounding counties and counties who are coerced by the thief army."
"I know how cool this Cao Jun is...... Arrows"
I only heard the sound of "puff" endlessly, and for a while the arrows rained down, and the screams continued to sound, and blood flowers bloomed in the crowd, mixed with the rain, and flowed into a piece of red......
This official closed his eyes and didn't look at it, and then opened his eyes to look at the big banner of Cao in the distance, which was already bitter hatred: "Cao thief"
At the same time, under this big flag, the commander Cao Ren looked at everything, his face was like water, and he remained silent.
Brother Cao Cao led 50,000 regular troops to attack Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou, in order to reduce the burden of military rations, so that the army that had not yet been trained attacked all over Xuzhou, Cao Ren was against this, but he could not change food.
The rain continued to make the defenders' bows and arrows very ineffective, and they would soon be insufficient, which was good news for the attackers, but Cao Ren was a little depressed and depressed.
It's not for the battlefield, although it's coerced, and there are thieves everywhere, it's a bit cruel to attack the city at this time, but it's acceptable.
It's just that Cao Ren feels that his cousin suddenly changed a little six years ago, and two years ago he changed as a person, and he gradually became estranged from the people he had befriended before.
Although I don't know that some families in various counties and counties have suddenly come to attach themselves and bring great strength, it is really unsettling...... And the attitude towards the brothers, wives and children in the family is not as heartfelt as in the past, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian's two sisters-in-law have been affected, and there are many fewer smiles on their faces.
"What is this for?"
These changes can be hidden from outsiders, but they can't be hidden from their families, but everyone has to endure it, but the gloomy feeling will inevitably spread, like the loss of precious things, so that the hearts of this family gradually disperse.
Cao Ren didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"But no matter what, as long as Meng De is still my brother, blood is thicker than water, and there is no Cao Ren in the world, but not Cao Cao...... Whoever is the enemy of my brother is my Cao Ren's enemy. ”
For the sake of his brother, even if he is the enemy of the world, he will not hesitate to do it
Under the big umbrella held in the rain, the military officials were writing the good news to the above: "The minister was ordered to launch 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers, not only to help Miaocai recover his hometown Peiguo, but also along the Surabaya into Xuzhou straight to Pengcheng, divided into more than ten units to plunder the place, driving the people to attack the city and even more than ten cities, now it has reached Xiapi City, and it will be broken in a few days." ”
Cao Ren swept his eyes: "Write this article - these Qingzhou soldiers are rogues, it is difficult to obey military orders, and the chaos is difficult to govern...... This soldier cannot be used for a long time, and the lord must not return to Yanzhou. ”
This is already a euphemism, in fact, because the governor relied on the people on the earth, although he incorporated the Qingzhou soldiers, he did not have the same intention of training and rectifying the Qingzhou soldiers as in history, so the military discipline collapsed.
After indulgence, they plundered the place, raped and plundered, there was no military law at all, the thief nature was difficult to change, and only a thief soldier who was barely obedient to Cao Cao's name was as difficult to take back as a mad dog that had escaped, and even Cao Ren, the commander's order, was discounted.
"Alright, summons immediately?"
"Pass it on. ”
Cao Ren was still a little unaccustomed to such rapid Dao Technique communication, and he always had a feeling of unreliability, just like those newcomers.
Shaking his head to rule out different thoughts: "I hope the lord can pay attention to the convergence of Qingzhou soldiers...... By the way, is there any news of Qingzhou Tian Kaijun?"
"Tian Kai's 50,000 troops have arrived in Langya County, Xuzhou, and they are intimidated by the power of the main army, so they dare not approach to rescue Pengcheng, and they only wait and see from across the county, seemingly waiting for Liu Beijun to ......come out first."
As he was talking, the informant in charge of the interrogation was shocked: "Marshal, General Xia Hou has the news of defeat."
Cao Ren's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly took it and looked at it.
Liu Bei led 70,000 main forces day and night, converging with Huang Zhong of Qian County, with a total strength of more than 100,000, and Mrs. Mi led the sorcerer group to support the battlefield, that night broke through the Xiahou Yuan camp, 30,000 Cao troops only escaped from the Lu to less than 3,000, the main general Xiahou Yuan fled by Huang Zhong with an arrow shot off the horse, Li Dian let the horse for the main general to escape, and his palace was captured, this is the news that came after the most sorcerer with the army, and then there was no news.
Cao Ren's mind was a little swollen, and after being angry, he hurriedly unfolded the map under the umbrella, his eyes fell on Yudong, digesting the bad news he had just received, and a feeling of thorns in his back made his heart chill, and the situation was out of control.
"Didn't this Liu Bei go south to Jingzhou, some people saw him and the queen mother's car, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun also appeared, how did they run to Yudong? How could he still make up 70,000 He also recruited 300,000 thieves
The more Cao Ren thought about it, the more confused he became, but he still made up his mind: "Detective cavalry will investigate the movements of Liu Bei's main force again"
"Yes, Captain" the scout captain rushed into the rain, and small squads scattered, each equipped with a magician, and began to expand the reconnaissance.
At the same time, after Ye Qing defeated Xia Houyuan, he recaptured eastern Henan, leaving only five thousand to clean up the battlefield and take care of the prisoners, and the main force marched overnight, and then set foot on the land of Xuzhou.
The location is in Xuzhou Xiapi country, the army is stationed on the other side of Surabaya, less than 50 miles away from the Cao Ren Qingzhou army in Xiapi City, on a plain, even if it is rainy, 100,000 troops are angry, ninety percent are white, one is light red, this is the realistic portrayal of the army - ninety percent of recruits, one percent of veterans
"A group of rebellious soldiers in front of you are in Kou Township," the general said, his face was a little strange: "Hit the banner of Cao Jun, but it is not the same as fighting Cao Jun before...... Didn't feel fierce in the past, but it was extremely fierce, like jackals, General Huang led the army to besiege and kill, and had trapped nearly a thousand remnants of the enemy in a village, blocking and shooting with bows and crossbows. ”
Ye Qing personally went over to observe.
At this time, Ye Qinggui was the marquis and the state pastor, and the guards were different.
Beneath the banner was a neat phalanx of cavalry, dressed in red armor, with equally red hunting and flying flags, bows and quivers hanging from the horses, as well as knives and spears, and decorated with white oxtails.
In addition, there is also Zhou Ling, who has entered the kendo and is closely protected day and night, followed by the two great Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and these two generals are full of murderous aura.
Five hundred cavalry kicked up a thick cloud of smoke and dust, and a muffled sound of horses' hooves arrived at the village.
Ye Qing reined in the horse and looked at it.
In the heavy rain curtain, there are still people resisting inside, the sound of fighting is endless, they are not even complete in military uniforms and armor, but they are all hideous, black and bloody, and they are stubbornly resisting in the village.
Ye Qing's eyes sank when he saw it: "Qingzhou soldiers"
Last winter, Qingzhou Liukou ate up everything that could be eaten locally, wandered to Yanzhou, at this time the governor and Ye Qing were in a stalemate in eastern Henan, and they couldn't draw troops to exterminate for a while, so they used a series of schemes, concealing the sky and crossing the sea, dividing the sky, attacking the fire and even flooding the Yellow River after the most reluctant, which was copied from Cao Cao's treacherous hand in history.
It was not until the end of spring that these gangsters were forced to land, and one million men and women were transferred to Tuntian, and 300,000 young and strong elites were collected, and they were called Qingzhou soldiers as in history.
Ye Qing was in a hurry to counterattack eastern Henan at the beginning of spring, and before this point in time, Cao Cao, who had Qingzhou soldiers, and Cao Cao, who did not have Qingzhou soldiers, was like whether the Han people brought cheetahs with them when they went into the mountains to hunt at this time, and their strength was completely inferior by a grade.
When this Qingzhou soldier is not a white red army, but a black army, it is better than a large number, this can be broken, but it is blessed by the Governor's Warlock Regiment.
The black military qi seems to be Qin qi, but it is far from the black army in history, there is no national fortune in the country, this black qi is just gray and black robbery, and this Qingzhou soldier is essentially a rogue in military uniform.
Compared with the standard replaceable equipment produced by the assembly line of the Qin Dynasty, these rogues are not even complete in military uniforms and armor, and some of them still hold broken firewood knives when they go to the battlefield.
It's not a grade, it looks like the characteristics of fighting and fighting are similar, but it doesn't have the fierceness of facing a strong enemy like a tiger, just bullying the weak jackal.
"How do you treat jackals?" Ye Qing muttered to himself.
Dian Wei, who had chased the tiger across the stream, flashed his eyes: "Just a jackal?"
"Oh?" Ye Qing said with relief: "It's really my fan." ”
Fan Hao is a general under Liu Bang, the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, the surrounding generals and guards look at each other, and they all think: "The lord compares himself with Han Gaozu, which is indeed very appropriate."
Ye Qing looked back at Xu Chu on the other side: "How do you think the tiger idiot treats the jackal?"
Xu Chu looks majestic and resolute, when he gathered thousands of strong men and clans to protect himself, he once dragged the tail of the strong ox in front of the thief array and walked more than 100 steps, so frightened that the thieves did not dare to approach, and then he only said: "The lord does not need to worry, I will kill him"
Ye Qing nodded, his eyes resolute.
The middle-aged general of the "lord" with a long knife and a bow in his hand came over, with a resolute temperament, this is the general Huang Zhong.
At this time, the sword was not old, and the strength of archery was still better than twenty years later, but the anger was even greater, and as soon as he came over, he pointed angrily at the village: "In the last tense, this gang has almost slaughtered the village, not to mention robbery, rape women, torture and kill children, even the old people will not be spared...... All kinds of evil deeds make people angry, please allow the last general to lead people to slaughter them."
Ye Qing's face was heavy, he observed it, and was touched by all kinds of tragic scenes, and saw that there was no magician in this Xiaokou, so he nodded to Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng went to kill them, this group of thieves has an unknown amount of people's blood on their hands, and they can't leave any of them."
"Obey" Huang Zhong responded excitedly, crossed his horse, and personally opened his bow to lead the shot.
With a "whoosh", the bowstring sounded, an arrow cut through the rain, and an officer who was commanding on the opposite side suddenly screamed, and a rain of blood came out of his throat, and he fell to the ground heavily.
"Shoot" Huang Zhong put down the attack with satisfaction, ordered, and suddenly, fifty arrows were shot, and a miserable scream came, and more than a dozen people were shot to the ground.
Ye Qing was very satisfied when he saw this, and showed a look of appreciation, these pro-troops led by Huang Zhong were accurate and ruthless with bows and arrows, and only fifty people attacked, but in just this moment, more than ten enemy soldiers were shot.
Many people who don't understand military affairs think that this achievement is not very good, but those who have been on the battlefield know this horror
After a while, the enemy soldiers hid in the village and did not move, and they had to rush in with foot soldiers to clear it.
Ye Qing turned his head, and saw that the two close servants were already ready to move, knowing that there was little chance of going to the battlefield in person, so he bowed his head: "Go and kill him"
"Nuo" Dian Wei held the iron halberd, Xu Chu held the machete, both were two-meter-high, bear-waisted and tiger-backed infantry generals, and at this time they immediately stepped forward to lead their own soldiers to fight.
Everywhere he went, there was blood and screams.
Ye Qing squinted his eyes, from the corpses of these Qingzhou thieves, there was a trace of black qi boiling, turning into the faces of the resentful people, at this time, although the resentment did not disappear, but the spirit body turned into the void.
Ye Qing realized that the Han style advocates great revenge, "the revenge of the tenth generation can still be avenged", so there is this appearance.
"In this case, you rest in peace, and I will avenge you and kill all the Qingzhou thieves who are stained with the blood of the people," Ye Qing said secretly.
"Boom" A flash of lightning flashed from the black clouds, the rain crackled and fell, and the sky and the earth were dark.
