Three Kingdoms: Summon the Black-robed Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao at the beginning

Hearing the sound, Guan Yu and Wang Che also stopped fighting. Since they were sparring, they naturally stopped when they reached a certain limit.

The gate of the fort slowly opened. Everyone looked over and saw Wang Yao and Jiang Qin leading several carriages in.

"Young Master."

"Everyone, how are the preparations?"

Deng Dang said: "Everything is ready, we can send out troops as soon as the young master gives the order."

"Okay, I have 30 sets of armor here, commanders and team leaders, come and get them."

Wen Ji looked at the armor on the carriage in shock: "Wow, young master, where did you get it from?"

"Lord Pei lent it to us, hurry up, distribute it, take the final rest, and set off south tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

The private soldiers in Yingjie Pavilion Fortress include 100 cavalry and 900 infantry, of which the infantry is divided into three battalions, with 300 people in each battalion.

Wang Yao brought all the cavalry and two battalions of infantry with him when he went south this time. Although it may not seem like a lot, the 700 trained infantry and cavalry are already considered strong among the various rebel armies. After all, many rebel armies were temporarily recruited, and even the private soldiers composed of the servants of the nobles would not often undergo military training.

In the hall

Wang Yao led everyone to hold the last banquet before leaving.

Wang Meng, Wang Huan, Wang Shi, Wang Che, Yan Xiang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Deng Dang, Wen Ji, Xun You, Le Jin, Guan Yu and other confidants were all present.

"Everyone, we have to get up early and march tomorrow. Today, we will use tea instead of wine. I hope we can win the battle and return after conquering. Cheers to you all."

"Cheers to the young master."

After the banquet, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, at dawn, the rebel army of Yingjie Pavilion set out southward to the battlefield in the Central Plains.

The rebel army had a squad leader for every five men, a squad leader for every ten men, a team leader for every fifty men, a centurion for every hundred men, and currently a battalion of three hundred men. Most of the grassroots officers in the team were warriors from Yingjie Pavilion.

Guan Yu led a hundred infantrymen as the vanguard, Wang Shi and Deng Dang led three hundred men as the rear guard, Wang Yao appointed Wang Meng as the military advisor, Wen Ji and Wang Che led a hundred cavalrymen, and Le Jin and Jiang Qin led three hundred infantrymen as the central army.

The Yellow Turbans in Bingzhou did not have much power. Even if there were some scattered soldiers, they did not dare to provoke this seemingly difficult team.

A few days later, the rebel army crossed the Yellow River and entered the territory of Henan Yin.

"Report!" A scout came to Wang Yao on horseback.

"Young Master, we have found the enemy in Guancheng ahead. It is suspected that there are thousands of Yellow Turban bandits besieging the city."

Wang Yao: "Order all units to rest for a while, and the scouts will explore again."

"Yes."

Wang Meng gestured to his left and right and spread out the map: "Young Master, Guancheng is located east of Xingyang. The Yellow Turbans besieged this city, probably wanting to use it as a springboard to attack Hulao Pass. According to the latest intelligence, the Han army is concentrated in the eight passes of Luoyang for defense. If the Yellow Turbans want to break through Luoyang, they must break through Hulao Pass from east to west."

Wang Yao also agreed with Wang Meng's inference and addedChong said: "Hulao Pass is famous for its steepness and is not so easy to break. In addition, the court has sent intelligence that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have led troops to reinforce the eastern battlefield. Since the Yellow Turbans have not even taken Guancheng, the decisive battle in the east will not be decided at Hulao Pass."

Wang Meng pointed to the mark on the map: "Yes, it is said that the troops of the Yellow Turban leader Bo Cai are in the Yuzhou area and have a tendency to move north. I speculate that the decisive battle should be in Yingchuan."

"Let's rush there, but should we save Guancheng now?"

Wang Meng: "Let's wait and see the scouts. If the enemy is loose, we can fight. If the enemy is strong, we can't fight hard."

"I know."

The rebel army went south with only so many people. Although they encountered small groups of Yellow Turbans along the way, they did not suffer much damage after the small-scale encounter. The main combat power had to be kept in Changsha.

According to the course of history, Huangfu Song defeated Bo Cai in Changsha. As long as he could get there in time, it would be a free achievement.

Soon after, the scout reported: "Young Master, the Yellow Turbans besieging Guancheng are still deployed as refugees. They are under the banner of the leader Bu Ji and are besieging Guancheng from all sides. I have strolled around the gates. The total number of bandits is about 10,000. Bu Ji is in command at the South Gate, and his troops are about 5,000."

"Okay, continue to observe the movements of the Yellow Turbans."

"Yes."

After the scout left, Wang Yao said: "Since this wave of Yellow Turbans is blocking our way, let's help the Guancheng County Magistrate and defeat Bu Ji. It's just right to take down the leader first to prove our strength."

There are also differences between leaders. The big ones, like Bo Cai, have more than 100,000 soldiers; the small ones, like Bu Ji, have only more than 10,000 soldiers.

The Yellow Turban Army looked terrible in numbers, but their actual combat power was average. Many of them were refugees, and they were not even fully equipped with weapons. They were also loose and lacked military discipline. They could only fight with favorable winds, and would be in danger if they faced any adverse winds.

Wang Meng: "The enemy troops are scattered around the city. As long as we defeat Bu Ji, the enemy troops will naturally collapse. If we can kill Bu Ji, it will surely boost morale."

"Well said, it's exactly what I want. Send all the generals to come and discuss matters."

"Yes."

The messengers ran everywhere, and soon all the generals gathered.

Wang Yao found an empty space to sit down, and asked his followers to build a simple shelf and hang a map on it.

"Hello, sir."

"No need to be polite, everyone. The Yellow Turbans are besieging the city ahead. Going south through Guancheng is the shortest route for us, and we can also replenish some supplies in Guancheng. Therefore, I decided to attack the Yellow Turbans at night to relieve the siege of Guancheng."

When Wang Yao was talking about the mission, Wang Meng had already marked it on the map.

"Bu Ji himself is at the South Gate, but the Yellow Turbans rely on their superior strength and adopt a siege method from all sides, which actually disperses their forces. This gives us the opportunity to attack Bu Ji's camp directly and defeat his headquarters in one fell swoop.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Yellow Turbans, our army can make a slight detour to the southwest, avoid the enemy troops at the West Gate, and arrive at the South Gate of Guancheng tonight.Under the cover of the enemy, we will attack Bu Ji's camp."

Wang Yao: "Do you have any objection to Jing Lue's statement?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, the whole army will change the route, march secretly, and send more scouts to be on guard and pay attention to the movements of the Yellow Turbans. Our army will move towards the south gate of Guancheng. After nightfall, Wen Ji, Guan Yu, and Wang Che will lead all the cavalry to rush directly to the Yellow Turban camp. I and the rest of the generals will lead the infantry to press on and defeat Bu Ji."

"I will obey your orders. ”

After receiving the order, the generals returned and led their troops to sneak towards the south gate of Guancheng.

Direction of Guancheng

Xin Pi, the commander of Guancheng, stood on the tower with a sword in his hand. He was dusty and did not live up to the image of a romantic scholar. However, he was qualified in commanding soldiers and young and strong people to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban bandits.

"Warriors, you must hold on. The reinforcements from the court are coming soon! Defend your homes!"

With the county magistrate personally going to the battlefield to boost morale, they can hold on for now.

Bu Ji watched the waves of attacks being blocked and felt very unhappy. Seeing that the sun was about to set, it was time to rest after fighting for a day.

"Tsk! Wait for me. Send a message to all the troops to withdraw to the camp first, rest for a night, and then flatten Guancheng tomorrow. ”
