The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 264 Hao Zhao
"Minggong, the two of us still have the defense of the city, so we will retire first."

After Guo Daxian and Zuo Miaozhangba entered the city, they bid farewell to Xu An.

Xu An nodded. Guo Daxian was maintaining the defense of the outer city, while Zuo Miaozhangba was maintaining law and order in the city. The defense of Jinyang City really needed the two of them.

It has been some time since the Yellow Turban Army occupied Jinyang, and there have been more pedestrians on the streets.

Hao Zhao noticed that among the knights following Xu An, there was a young man who was not wearing a military uniform but only a blue robe, and he didn't look very old.

This man stood out from the group of cavalrymen who were wearing helmets and armour. Although he was not wearing military uniform, he looked bookish, but he was also somewhat heroic.

All this made Hao Zhao extremely curious. The young man's curiosity drove Hao Zhao to keep looking at the person in front of him.

Hao Zhao also noticed that this man was quite strong, although he had a bookish look and was not wearing a military uniform, he still looked majestic, and even surpassed those soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who wore helmets and armor.

Moreover, judging from the way he held the rein and the way he rode the horse, Hao Zhao had a feeling that this person's riding skills must be particularly superb, and he also looked like a warrior, which made Hao Zhao almost curious. emerge on the table.

Hao Zhao likes bowing horses and military matters, and admires heroes very much. This person seems to be a more important person beside Xu An, and it makes Hao Zhao feel friendly.

In the sixth year of Xiping, although he was very young, he vaguely remembered that year, almost everyone in the clan wore hemp.

In his memory that year, it was just white linen, and crying everywhere he went, as if it had never been cut off.

As Hao Zhao grew older, he also knew what happened in the sixth year of Xiping, and he also knew why in that year, his memory was full of white cloth and mournful crying.

His uncle, many of his relatives died in that battle.

From that year on, the situation of the Hao family took a turn for the worse. Hao Zhao, a powerful and powerful son who used to be well-clothed and well-fed, also experienced hunger and fear.

This is also the reason why Hao Zhao likes horse bows and soldiers, admires heroes, and makes friends with rangers.

What Hao Zhao always wanted was to join the army after the crowning ceremony, drive out the Hu captives in the north, revive the momentum of the Hao family, and wash away the humiliation suffered by the defeat in the past.

Bingzhou was controlled by the Yellow Turban Army, and the Hao family was actually ready to flee, but the Yellow Turban Army quickly took control of several cities and implemented military control, which also restricted the escape of the Hao family.

Hao Zhao had no intention of joining the Yellow Turban Army at first, but he saw the Eagle Wolf Guards and those majestic and murderous soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army wandering around Yuci City.

So when Hao Zhao heard that the Yellow Turban Army was going to collect and expel the Huns, he rode alone all the way from Yuci to Taiyuan.

After seeing the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army, Hao Zhao is young, but he is also concerned about the general situation of the world. He knows the rebellion in Liangzhou, he knows the turmoil in the interior, and he knows the changes in Bingzhou.

Seeing the power of the Yellow Turban Army outside Jinyang City, Hao Zhao couldn't wait any longer. He had heard the rumors and deeds of Xu An, and perhaps following this man could really revive the Hao family's momentum.

As for the liquidation of the court if the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, Hao Zhao is not worried. He has an uncle who is an official in the court, and he will never sit idly by, and he is only fourteen years old.

He refused to listen to dissuasion and joined the Yellow Turban Army, and he was not the heir of the Hao family, so he was not worth mentioning at all.

"My lord, Hao Zhao, if you dare to ask your name, what position do you hold in the army?"

Hao Zhao pulled the horse towards the young man and asked in a low voice.

But the man was facing forward and only glanced sideways at Hao Zhao, but he didn't answer Hao Zhao's words.

Hao Zhao was not discouraged, and was waiting to ask again.

But at this time, the sunlight in front of his eyes was blocked by a shadow.

"Going out to march in the army, helping the front and the rear, talking loudly, and not obeying the forbidden instructions, this is called a disorderly army, and the offender will be beheaded."

Hao Zhao was startled, and turned his head to look, only to see that the soldier captain who had been following Xu An had indeed arrived by his side at this time.

Hao Zhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, no wonder this person didn't talk to him.

but……

If he violated the military regulations, he wouldn't really be executed.

Hao Zhao's complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in front of him.

Hao Zhaoxun looked at the reputation, but they had already arrived outside the government office in Jinyang City, and the laughter came from Xu An's mouth.

Xu An scolded with a smile: "Xu Da, Zhang Ji is gone, you have found a newcomer to scare you."

Hearing Xu An's words, Hao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. If he died because of such a thing, it would be extremely unworthy.

Xu An laughed, and continued speaking.

"However, Xu Da is right in one thing. The military regulations he just mentioned really exist."

"This is one of the military regulations of our Yellow Turban Army. If there are such soldiers on the march, they will definitely be killed."

Xu An looked solemn.

"I see your demeanor on horseback, your conversation is extraordinary, you want to join the army, and you are quite proud. I think you have practiced martial arts with knives and guns, right?"

"Correct."

Hao Zhao nodded, what Xu An said was indeed true.

"A military battle is no better than a street fight, and a ranger's death fight is even less brutal than a battlefield fight. Have you ever seen a battle in a battle formation?"

"No."

Hao Zhao shook his head.

"Fighting on the battlefield, fighting in the army formation, the left and right are shoulder to shoulder, and the front and back are almost touching the backs of the soldiers in front."

"In a majestic formation, thousands of people line up to advance. The brave must not be the first, and the timid must not be left behind. Even if there are thousands of troops in front of the formation, they cannot retreat half a point."

Xu An tied up the horse, looked at Hao Zhao who was thinking and said.

"If you have heard about the deeds of some heroes and fierce generals, beheading generals and capturing the flag is like picking something out of a bag, so if you think that in our army, you can rely on some martial arts and want to be a heroic general to compete for this feat of beheading generals and capturing the flag, I advise you to go early go home."

"Most of those who kill the general and capture the flag are warriors in the army. They are all people who have experienced countless battles and have been battle-tested."

"Take the Han army as an example. The Han army has two camps, two hundred men in one team, and if they have bows, halberd shields, swords and guns and fight in formation, do you know how to break them?"

Hao Zhao shook his head again. He really didn't know about the military affairs that Xu An mentioned. Although he had someone who served in the army at home, he didn't teach him, after all, he was still young.

"Either use an army formation, a majestic formation to fight against the army formation, stabbing with spears, stabbing with spears, slashing with knives, killing and returning him, and rushing in together until one side collapses."

"There is another kind, which is what you have heard about beheading the generals and capturing the flag. Use elite soldiers and armored soldiers to assault the army formation, find out the weak or deadly points of the enemy army, open the gap, enter from the gap, and attack the enemy. Disrupt the formation of the army and defeat the local area in one fell swoop."

"Despite the great feats of beheading the general and capturing the flag, even a fierce general must wear solid armor, hold a sharp blade, and have personal guards guarding the rear on both sides in order to obtain it."

Hao Zhao's face had already darkened. What Xu An said, he hadn't thought about it before.

"Even if you are really excellent in martial arts, but you are only fourteen this year, and you are still young, you can't bear the weight of a solid armor, and you can't fight for a long time."

Xu An stared at Hao Zhao in front of him, and now he remembered who Hao Zhao was.

In the second year of Taihe (228), Zhuge Liang led his army to the Northern Expedition. He was blocked by more than [-] soldiers led by Hao Zhao in Chencang. More than ten days.

Zhuge Liang also failed to defeat Chen Cang, and was forced to retreat in the end.

When Xu An played Three Kingdoms Killer before, Hao Zhao had a line that he always kept in mind.

"Although Kong Ming has a hundred calculations, he is no match for my thousand bones!"

But now Hao Zhao is only fourteen years old, which is still too young.

Hao Zhao lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu An's words already calmed down Hao Zhao, who had followed Xu An in the military parade and witnessed the power of the Yellow Turban Army, and was quite complacent.
