The Heroic Biography of Little People
65. Yingchuan's Prelude to the War
"Go to hell." "But, hate it..." An officer and soldier was killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers behind him with eyes full of unwillingness.
"Ah!!!" "Ah..." A strategist trying to support the friendly army was exposed to the blade of the Yellow Turban soldiers because the light infantry in front of him was killed. Following in the footsteps of those light infantrymen.
"My lord, what are the two Zhonglang generals doing? Aren't they just letting those soldiers die? What mistakes did they make? They want to be abandoned. If there is no reason, it would be too Isn’t it cruel, is there something wrong with the food?”
Looking at the officers and soldiers below the city who were still trying to attack the Yellow Turban Army's East Camp, Huang Gai, who was watching the battle from the corner tower of the city wall, asked Sun Jian with some doubts.After all, the scene in front of him suddenly made him feel sad.
"It doesn't have to be like this, you can know some things, but you can't pass it on, you know?"
Although Sun Jian's tone was very casual, Huang Gai could hear the murderous intent in Sun Jian's tone, so he quickly shook his head and said that he no longer wanted to know the secrets that would kill many people if they were leaked out.Huang Gai still knew how the cat died.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter, it's just because of some kind of inspiration, it seems to have drawn up a plan to wipe out the Yellow Turbans outside the city. These people outside are just a way to make the enemy slack off again. As long as the expected goals are achieved, most people still have a chance to withdraw. But at that time, it depends on our ability."
"The subordinate understands, and I promise to complete the task." Although he was still a little uncomfortable, Huang Gai still expressed his determination to complete the task.However, this young hot-blooded general is obviously not an old fritter who can hide his thoughts. Even Sun Jian, who has a lot of trouble outside the battlefield, can see some clues from the expression on Huang Gai's face at this time. .
"Gong Fu, you have to be clear, the ancients said: 'Compassion does not command soldiers'. In order to win the battle, the necessary sacrifices must be made. The only thing a general can do is to ensure that these sacrifices are really worthwhile and make the sacrifices Lowest. Got it?"
"Subordinate, I understand..." Although Huang Gai, who had read some books, had difficulty listening to Sun Jian's reasons, he already understood the general truth, and a sense of responsibility to be a general was in his heart at this moment Spontaneously.
"Of course, although it may be unfair to those paoze who have become abandoned sons, but ah, fate is not necessarily completely in the hands of others. If I were among those soldiers, no matter whether it is moving forward or backward , I will try my best to protect myself while completing the task, and I will never give up until the last moment of my life."
"Gai, I will live up to my lord's instruction." Looking at Sun Jian's back, who was fighting against the sun, Huang Gai was a little crazy for a while.
At the same time, the fighting outside the city continued.Although the Yellow Turban Army just stumbled a few days ago in their most proud method, and what hurt morale even more was that the two leaders were also seriously injured in that battle, but the superiority in numbers and the strength of religious belief The baptism still made them rush towards their opponents regardless of their own safety.Moreover, with the passage of time, the advantage of the Yellow Turban Army, which was continuously supported by other city gates, became more and more obvious.
"Huh, huh... We can't hold on any longer. If we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on to the annihilation of our entire army." A general who seemed to be the commander of the light infantry roared loudly, not caring whether this statement was true or not. It will hurt your morale.
"Damn it, there are more and more people in the Yellow Turban Army." The voice of the commander of the light infantry seemed to be quite loud.
"After a while, the cavalry will come for reinforcements, so we must resist anyway."
The words of this archer commander stunned the generals of the Yellow Turban Army who commanded the front line. They all still remember the heroic posture of Sun Jian's cavalry unit galloping through the Yellow Turban Army as if they had entered the realm of no one, although Sun Jian was later defeated by Lu Bu in a few rounds. , but the feeling of terror is still vivid.It is a constant fact that cavalry is always the nightmare of infantry on the plains.
"But in my opinion, saving one's own life is the most important thing. No one in the current army thinks so. What's more, here is Yingchuan, where the fighting is the most intense. I don't think the imperial court will send troops to die."
But before the frontline generals of the Yellow Turban Army digested the news they had just received, they immediately got another message that was completely opposite to what they had just received.This made many generals hesitate, not knowing what to do.
So in an instant, countless messengers rushed towards the camp where Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were located. After all, the judgment of the two leaders was still trustworthy.Of course, it is not ruled out that many of them are trying to shirk responsibility.
"Having said that, the cavalry captain of the reinforcements is Cao Cao. I heard that he is a powerful character. Trust him this time, and now we have to wait for him to come." Soon, a piece of information seemed to be revealed inadvertently. .
"Hurry up, hurry up." This was the wailing of an archer before his death. It seemed that Cao Cao's name resounded across the battlefield all of a sudden.
"The opponent is really tenacious." Standing on the wooden wall of the camp built by Li Shushi's troops, Zhang Bao expressed his heartfelt emotion.
It's just that his current state is very bad. Even if someone is supporting him, his legs are still trembling slightly. If it wasn't for the "Taiping Qingling Dao" that could avoid the bad state for the purpose of casting spells Otherwise, I'm afraid that kind of violent mental backlash is enough to make him directly become a vegetable, instead of coming out to stabilize the morale of the army as he is now.
"Hmph, sooner or later they will be defeated! The hateful officers and soldiers dare to attack here! They must make them regret it."
Standing beside Zhang Bao is Zhang Bao's three-place Zhang Liang.Although the injuries he suffered were not light, they were much smaller than Zhang Baolai, so compared to Zhang Bao who was only a mascot nowadays, Zhang Liang needed to handle everything in the Yellow Turban Army.Fortunately, most of the official duties during the war belonged to Zhang Liang, who was in charge of military affairs, so the burden did not increase too much.
Although Zhang Liang said fiercely, he knew in his heart that the attack that he thought would be victorious that day was not only exhausting and futile, but also he and Zhang Bao were seriously injured. This was a blow to their prestige and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army. It is undoubtedly huge, and it may even have formed the idea that "the officers and soldiers in the city have the protection of heaven and cannot be defeated".
If this situation continues to develop, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang will probably discuss whether to withdraw the troops safely before morale completely collapses.And once the troops are withdrawn, it will not be easy to gather such a large-scale army.If the troops in the city keep eyeing on the two brothers, it may be a question of whether they can return to Hebei alive.
But now the official army gave him a chance, a chance for him to revive the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army.Although he felt that the number of officers and troops attacking the Yellow Turban camp in front of him was a bit small.Although the officers and soldiers unfurled the banners of the two Zhonglang generals, regardless of the quality of the soldiers or Sun Jian who left a deep impression on him that day, there was a sense of conspiracy.
But what about Zhang Liang? If the strength of the officers and soldiers were stronger, perhaps the soldiers under him just now would have collapsed.Therefore, even if he knew about the unknown traps of the officers and soldiers, Zhang Liang had to hold his nose and jump into them.
"Persist for a while, let them know that the officers and soldiers are not easy to mess with!"
Although the general commanding the battle seemed to be roaring unwillingly, the morale of the officers and soldiers had been tortured by more and more Yellow Turbans and was almost at a low point.Finally, deserters began to appear and eventually turned into a large-scale rout.
Zhang Liang stopped his subordinates from pursuing the proposal, because he had already noticed that there seemed to be a large number of archers and civilian troops deployed on the walls of Changshe City.He didn't want the little morale he had gathered so easily to be beaten back to the bottom by the officers and soldiers.
"Gao Sheng, do you know who Cao Cao is?"
As soon as he returned to Daying, Zhang Liang sent someone to call Gao Sheng who was stationed at the south gate.Because Gao Sheng had accepted Zhang Jiao's order to go to Luoyang to assist Ma Yuanyi's uprising, and had done some research on the people in Luoyang who needed attention, so after seeing the information obtained in today's battle, Zhang Liang thought of this first.
"Cao Cao, he seems to be the grandson of the eunuch Cao Teng. Although his father is a greedy guy, I heard that he is still a good man. When he was the northern captain of Luoyang, he once killed Jian Shuo, one of the most powerful eunuchs at that time. His uncle was executed in accordance with the law, and if it wasn’t for the family’s efforts to protect him, he might have been removed. Even if he was relegated to Dunqiu County in the East County to be an official, he would show no mercy to the local tyrants.”
Cao Cao is more or less a celebrity of the new generation, and he has done some things in Luoyang, so Gao Sheng still knows something about it.
"In other words, this person is just a civil servant with a tough style."
Through Gao Sheng's description, Zhang Liang seems to have a rather wrong understanding of Cao Cao.
"This subordinate is not very clear, but it is not uncommon for the Han court to use Confucian scholars to lead the army. There is a famous scholar Zhang Huan in a little distance, and there are civil officials like Lu Zhi in the nearest one."
Being able to understand Zhang Huan's deeds, this Gao Sheng is really not an idiot who doesn't know anything. I think he followed Zhang Jiao to travel all over the world.It's just that those stories were somewhat distorted to him, so he wasn't too sure.You must know that the current form of the Yellow Turban Army is in danger, and there is a danger of collapse if you are not careful.
"I see, you go down. After you go back, guard the camp carefully, and don't give the officers and soldiers any chance."
Seeing Gao Sheng's figure leave the tent, Zhang Liang heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Zhang Bao who was hiding behind the screen.
"Although this is also a cavalry, the commander is an inexperienced civic official. Presumably, he should not be as sophisticated as the sect member. Perhaps this should be good news for us."
Immediately, Zhang Liang only heard a helpless sigh coming from behind him...
"Ah!!!" "Ah..." A strategist trying to support the friendly army was exposed to the blade of the Yellow Turban soldiers because the light infantry in front of him was killed. Following in the footsteps of those light infantrymen.
