Kill ~~"
The fierce sound of killing suddenly rang out from the dense forest on the left, deafening shout, a Han army like a fierce tiger descending from the dense forest, the first one of the general wielding a long sword, straight to Liao Hua.
"Huh?"
Liao Hua looked astonished, not good, he was ambushed!
"Retreat... Retreat..."
Liao Hua will lead the knife, turn around and go, is surrounded by Xiahou Yuan that 300 remnants of the kill sex up the bandits, in the flank suffered a sudden attack immediately after the disorder, Liao Hua's "retreat" more intensified the confusion of the bandits, the situation soon turned into an unstoppable retreat.
Xiahou Yuan a knife slash empty, stumbling feet and then can not stand, suddenly fell to the ground with one knee, but the left hand is holding the body of Le Jin refused to withdraw his hand. When he looked up in shock, he saw that the thieves were like locusts rushing past him and the surviving Han soldiers in a chaotic manner, and they ran away. All of a sudden, thick exhaustion like a tidal wave rolled in, Xiahou Yuan felt his whole body lost consciousness, the long knife in his hand was as heavy as a wall of mountains.
"Dang jang ~"
Xiahou Yuan can no longer squeeze the long knife in his hand, fingers loose, long knife fell to the ground, a crisp sound.
"Kill ~ ~"
Deafening shouts of killing is close behind you, the soldiers around you have begun to call up, the sound of the ecstasy of rebirth after the robbery, Xiahou Yuan also wanted to turn around to see who saved him, but he felt stiff neck, body stiff, is petrified general how can not turn around.
"Miao Cai! Is that you?"
A familiar and unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, the voice was close at hand but seemed far away, Xiahou Yuan's vision gradually began to blur, everything in front of him was constantly rotating and shaking.
"Miao Cai, it's me, I'm Cao Hong!"
There was a hint of anxiety in the familiar voice.
Cao Hong? Phew, it was Cao Hong, this guy didn't die? Surprisingly, he survived the charge of eight hundred stragglers with heavy armor iron cavalry? Monster ~ ~ Xiahou Yuan let out a long breath, the sinking darkness finally swallowed him completely, the majestic body pushed Jinshan, pouring jade pillar. Puffed down with a bang, is actually off the power fainted.
"Miao Cai!"
"Wenqian~~"
Cao Hong scrambled to pick up Xiahou Yuan, and turned over Le Jin's corpse, and in a moment his eyes showed a fierce look, turning to the direction where the thieves retreated, roaring like a wounded dog bear: "Liao Hua ~~ I will kill you ~~"
......
Han army camp.
Although Cao Cao was newly defeated and had lost a lot of men. But his face was not much frustrated and disheveled, and he was quite self-aware when he talked and laughed with Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, both of whom showed their admiration, for a general, one should not be proud of victory and not discouraged by defeat.
"The yellow turban bandits in Yingchuan are not enough to be feared, the only thing that is false is the 800 stragglers." Cao Cao said, "Cao Cao's defeat in Ying Shui was due to the lack of cavalry. Now the two generals have three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry under the command of Lord Qiu Liju, although Ma Yue's 800 stragglers are brave and good at fighting, they are not enough to be feared."
Zhu Jun frowned and said: "What worries me is that the 800 stragglers will repeat the same thing. If they suddenly disappear, they may not be able to catch up with them."
Cao Cao said, "We can send Wuhuan iron cavalry to chase and check them, then the 800 stragglers will collapse without a fight."
While he was talking. Suddenly, a junior colonel came to report, "Two generals. Qiu Liju disobeyed the advice and rode again to plunder the people of Yingchuan."
Zhu Jun shot up and said angrily, "This Qiu Liju is really abominable, how many times have I told him that the Central Plains is not a grassland, not a pasture for them to plunder with their horses, but these damn barbarians just don't listen. If I didn't have to use the advantage of his cavalry. I will beheaded."
Huangfu Song stroked his white beard and said blandly, "Gong Wei need not be angry, the army has been cut off for several days, if we continue to impose strict restraint, anti-terrorism provoked mutiny, let him be."
Cao Cao lost his voice and said, "Two generals, the army has been without food for several days."
Zhu Jun sighed and said, "To be honest, since the Yellow Turban was rampant last year, the court sent several large armies to conquer it, which cost a lot of money and food.
Cao Cao sighed and said, "Alas, the bandits are a scourge and the country's fortune is in decline. Please don't worry, Cao Cao has already ordered his beloved people to go back to the east county to raise provisions, I think it can be delivered to Chenliu in a few days, which can solve the urgent needs of the army."
Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun heard the words of joy: "so, hard work Mengde."
......
"Oh ~ oh ~ oh ~"
A burst of strange screams accompanied by the thundering sound of hooves rumbling, a large black pressed cavalry like locusts from the plains rolled, it is Qiu Liju led Wuhuan iron cavalry. Everywhere the Wuhuan cavalry passed, black smoke curled up, villages were burned, the crops that were about to grow were trampled, and the people who were working were slaughtered.
Countless good people of Dahan in Wuhuan barbarians under the iron hoof groaning, poor and good people of Dahan, originally thought that even the eight hundred stragglers are no longer to scourge them, this year can finally live a good life, did not expect the change suddenly er, disaster from the east wall, overnight, and killed this group of ferocious wolves.
"Hahahaha~~"
Qiu Liju fiercely waved a whip on the horse's stock, galloped the horse wildly, has committed a tired beast he did not feel what is wrong to do so. When he was in the northern grasslands, he did this, not only plundering the tribes of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, but also sometimes going south to plunder the villages and towns of the Han people.
In the eyes of the barbaric and ignorant Wuhuan people, human beings are no different from the beasts of nature, powerfully annexing the weaker tribes, snatching women and belongings, killing the strong men, just like the weak in nature, it is only natural! No one ever thought there was anything wrong with wolves eating sheep. Therefore, Qiu Liju never thought that there was anything wrong with such a plundering behavior, which was the logic of barbarians.
A small leader with disheveled clothes rushed to Qiu Liju's side and roared furiously: "Bald-eared Wolf, what happened?"
Bald-eared Wolf roared: "When Short-tailed Fox's horse team went to sack a Han village, they were attacked by more than a thousand stragglers and more than 300 people were killed. At first I did not believe. Take people to see only to know that it is true, all the brothers ground corpses were skinned, but also hanging upside down on the branches of the village demonstration."
Qiu Liju's eyes suddenly red, sternly said: "These damned bandits, I want to catch them all, one by one, one by one, the sky lantern live sacrifice ~ ~ blow the horn, the whole army assembled!
"Horn whistle ~ ~ ~"
Qiu Liju gave an order. The low and distant horn sound suddenly sounded deep, is plundering the Wuhuan cavalry have galloped back, quickly began to form up.
......
Chang She north effect.
A piece of simple tent has been set up, in the camp around also put a strong wooden fence, the outer edge of the wooden fence is also covered with sharp antlers (not real antlers, but refers to some sharpened wooden stakes). There was even a two-foot-high yamen directly to the north, and a large bloody flag was planted straight on the yamen, waving in the wind.
In the open space in front of the barracks, hundreds of large earthenware pots, earthenware pots under the bottom of the wood fire is burning, the pot is rising out of the hot air. A burst of meat fragrance with the breeze diffused, cold people mouth-watering. Those who didn't know it would think the pot was cooking fatty pork.
Guo Tu's nose stirred twice. He only felt the thick fragrance overflowing. But when he realized what fragrance it was, his stomach was a Meng violently twitching, hugging a wooden stake in a panic and dry vomiting up.
Ma Yue looked back coldly swept Guo Tu glance, look like frost, not moved in the slightest.
Not far in front of Ma Yue, Guan Hai is staring at the ground, listening to the ground with his ear to the side. Suddenly, Guan Hai's face changed. He said in a deep voice: "Here it comes!"
Ma Yue's expression moved, his eyes swept through a trace of imperceptible tension, leisurely cocked his head to the north and looked extremely far, only to see the wilderness is calm, there are two flying crows swept up from the wheat field, quickly flew into the nearby bushes and disappeared.
"Report ~ ~"
A long, harsh howl accompanied by the sound of rapid hoofbeats from the north swept through the air, and in an instant, a ride like a fly from the official road galloped, straight to Ma Yue in front of.
"Report ~~ Chieftain, a large group of Han cavalry was found!"
"How many riders are there?"
Ma Yue asked suddenly and cutly.
The voice of Ma Yue fell, shrinking in the shadow behind Ma Yue, Guo Tu could not help but sneak a glance at the majestic back of Ma Yue, he actually heard a hint of imperceptible tension in Ma Yue's voice, Guo Tu could not help but be confused. This, the horse butcher will also feel nervous?
The scout horse gasped and answered, "Chief Zhou Cang said, at least two thousand horses!"
"Two thousand horses!?" Ma Yue suddenly looked uplifted when he heard that and said, "Good! That's great!"
Guo Tu was more and more stunned, since he was captured by the 800 stragglers and forced to join the army, it seems that he had never seen Ma Yue this excited, today ~ ~ ~ what is it? Could it be that... I see! Guo Tu suddenly understood Ma Yue's amazing plot, inexplicable evil chill instantly rose straight from Guo Tu's back, those poor Wuhuan barbarians ah! Fortunately, I am not the one who is going to be unlucky, thinking of this, Guo Tu's heart was immediately grateful, looking at the back of Ma Yue's eyes with an additional fear.
Ma Yue turned on his horse and said in a stern voice: "Open the yamen, welcome the brothers back to camp ~ ~"
"Open the yamen ~ open the yamen ~ ~"
Xu Chu galloped away, loud and mournful roar suddenly cut through the silent sky, miles away, the yellow turban bandits guarding the regulator door can also be clearly heard.
On the barracks yamen.
Pei Yuan Shao looked cold and said in a stern voice: "Open the regulator door!"
A group of yellow turban bandits soldiers came up chaotically, moved the wooden stakes against the yamen, and slowly pulled the heavy yamen open, and finally removed the antlers blocking the yamen, enough to accommodate dozens of war horses at the same time to enter and exit the four-hole yamen completely open.
"Long spear soldiers ~ ~ in formation!"
I do not know when, the yellow turban chief has come to Pei Yuan Shao side, loud and clear roar resounded throughout the camp, more than a thousand thieves soldiers rushed to, along the sides of the yamen into a neat military formation, a spear stabbed straight into the air, sharp spear blade flaunted a cold cold aura.
"Archers~~ Form up!"
The little leader gave another order, and 500 archers ran out from the barracks, splitting into two groups behind the spears and quickly finished their formation.
The sound of horses' hooves, Ma Yue, Guo Tu in dian wei, Xu Chu and Guan Hai's escort rushed into the yamen, witnessed the yellow turban bandits such a strict array, Ma Yue eyes can not help but swept a trace of amazement, looked at Pei Yuan Shao's eyes can not help but swept a trace of appreciation. In just one night, the city can be trained into this kind of thieves soldiers, is not easy.
Since returning to Changshe, Ma Yue was busy checking casualties and designing to deal with the three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry, plus he has always been indifferent to the Yingchuan bandits, and did not even know that Changshe almost changed hands and the battle was almost reversed! Not even know that in the battle for Chang She. There was once a small head in danger, saved the entire battle.
Without warning, the calm earth began to tremble slightly, when everyone felt the ground trembling, the faint sound of thunder rolled from the northern sky, only a few moments of work, then bright into a breathtaking rumble! All the yellow turban bandits held their breath. Through the gaps in the wooden fence to look out, only to see a vast plain, a large green gritty iron armor is roaming, that ~ ~ is the eight hundred bandits brothers.
"Archers ~ ~ ready!"
The little leader hissed loud and clear again, overpowering the suffocating rumbling sound and clearly reaching the ears of every bandit soldier. The five hundred archers who were standing at attention quickly dispersed and stood in single file behind the camp fence, unloading their longbows and holding them in their hands. A sharp wolf tooth arrow has been on the string. Just waiting for a command, then want to open the bow and release arrows.
"Well?"
Ma Yue's suspicious gaze fell on the regulator door, Pei Yuan Shao beside the small leader, and all the face of the yellow turban bandits with a frightened look, look different, this small leader but cold indifference, to the front of the Wuhuan iron cavalry rolling to the cavalry actually ignore. Good courage! Ma Yue heart can't help but secretly praise.
"Boom ~ ~"
In the deafening continuous loud sound, eight hundred stragglers finally rushed to, the chaotic cavalry rushed through the yamen tidal wave into the barracks. The first rider was none other than Zhou Cang. In the gallop of the horse. Zhou Cang a glance swept wind Ma Yue, can not help but shout: "big chief, Zhou Cang is fortunate ~ ~"
Ma Yue nodded with awe, waiting for the last rode into the yamen, was about to order the closure of the yamen, standing on the yamen of the small chief has been one step ahead of him sternly shouted: "Spear soldiers ~ ~ block the door!"
If the Wuhuan cavalry dared to charge forward, even though their iron hooves could crush the bodies of the bandits, the spears of the bandits could also poke countless bloody holes in them.
Outside the yamen.
Qiu Liju raised his right arm fiercely, and his loud and clear roar resounded through the clouds: "Stop the pursuit~~"
The desolate horn sounded leisurely, the rushing Wuhuan cavalry like a torrent hit a solid wall, suddenly changed the direction of advance, diagonally cut through the barracks, circled a large circle, and circled back to the front of the formation. The cunning Wuhuan did not even give the enemy longbowmen a chance to release their arrows.
In the camp, Ma Yue gaze awe-inspiring, said to the generals around him: "These Wuhuan are really difficult to deal with ah!"
Zhou Cang panted and walked up to Ma Yue and said in a deep voice, "Who said otherwise? I thought that these barbarians would not be able to catch up with us if we were 20 miles apart, but I never thought that these damn barbarians would catch up with us in four hours. If we run ten miles further, our brothers will be entangled by these bastards."
Behind Ma Yue, Guo Tu's cheek muscles jumped violently, and he thought with astonishment that the barbarians were still barbarians after all, and how could they be the opponent of the horse butcher?
......
Five hundred paces away from the camp, Qiu Liju slowly stopped his mount, and the bald-eared wolf beat his horse to Qiu Liju and said loudly, "Lord, why don't we break the camp in one go?"
Qiu Liju looked cold and said in a deep voice: "Vulcan, didn't you find that there are longbowmen in the enemy camp?"
"Hm?" Vulcan Wolf's expression was cold, he squinted his eyes and looked at the camp, and found that there was a faint flickering cold aura behind the camp fence, so he changed his color and said, "I didn't think that there were archers among the bandits!"
Qiu Liju said coldly: "I have told you how many times, the Han people are far more cunning than we think, dealing with the Han people, whether it is the official army or bandits, we must be very careful, a little negligence can lead to irreparable disaster! Think about those Xiongnu who once beat our ancestors to the point of having no place to stay, but now they still submit to the Han's lustful authority?"
The bald-eared wolf said sternly, "Your Excellency is right."
Qiu Liju's gaze was fixed and his nose suddenly flapped twice, asking Bald-Eared Wolf, "Well, what is this fragrance?"
Bald-Eared Wolf also took a few sniffs of the fragrance in the air, looked around, and suddenly pointed his finger to the right and called out, "Lord, look, there is cooking smoke by the creek over there, it looks like the marching stoves of the thieves' army."
"Oh?"
Qiu Liju put his hand on the cool tent and looked to the right, he saw a small river, and there was cooking smoke curling up from the river. By this rich aroma a stimulus, a strong hunger suddenly attacked, Qiu Liju then remembered, only cared about chasing the bandits, but has been a full four hours dripping water did not enter.
Volume II Eight Hundred Rangers Start Wolf Smoke
Chapter 87 iron wall siege
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"Hahahaha, my lord, it's all fucking meat and wild vegetables stew, the meat is rotten, it smells so good!" The bald-eared wolf poked a large piece of meat out of the pot with his saber and laughed, "Motherfucker, following that old thing Huangfu Song, the brothers have not known the taste of meat for months, today we can finally have a big meal, hehehe."
"Wait!" Qiu Liju frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't rush to eat first, maybe this is a treacherous plan of the bandits."
The bald-eared wolf did not think so and said, "No, my lord, it must be the bandits who are preparing to eat a big meal, and when they heard that our Wuhuan iron cavalry had arrived, they could not even eat the meat and hastily hid in the camp, haha."
Qiu Liju frowned and said, "Better be careful, the Han are too cunning, you call that Han guide over."
The bald-eared wolf gave an erroneous cry and went to lead a man with an obscene description to Qiu Liju in a few moments, the man said with low brows and obedient eyes, "What is your order?"
Qiu Liju poked a big piece of fat meat with his saber, handed it to the man's mouth and said with a sly smile, "Eat this piece of meat!"
The man didn't dare to refuse, he had to hold the piece of meat with both hands and put it into his mouth with sweat on his head, chewing it with great taste, and smacked his lips when he finished eating it, smiling with his eyebrows, "Delicious, really delicious, thank you, my lord."
The bald-eared wolf on the other side looked at it and swallowed his saliva, and said to Qiu Liju, "Your Excellency, can we eat it now?"
Qiu Liju said, "Wait a little longer."
......
Ma Yue's camp.
The little chief entered with a straight face, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fist and said aloud, "I, Gao Shun, bow to see the chief."
"Gao Shun, you were originally under Peng Tuo?"
Ma Yue nodded, there seemed to be such a person in the Three Kingdoms period, but it should be a person of no reputation, at least Ma Yue had no impression.
Gao Shun replied, "Exactly, I was originally from Yanmen, Bing Prefecture, but I killed the bully in a fit of rage because he was running rampant in the village. Since then, I have been in exile, since last year came to Yingchuan, originally wanted to join the army to serve, but did not want to be framed by the dog officials. Later, I was fortunate to be saved by Peng Tuo, the leader, and became a mountain bandit from then on.
Ma Yue was saddened and said in a deep voice: "Deng Mao and Peng Tuo, the two leaders, have been killed in battle and their men are unmanned. I see that you are good at leading soldiers, so these two groups of people will be under your command."
Gao Shun respectfully replied, "Yes, sir."
While he was talking, Guo Tu's figure suddenly flashed in from outside the tent and said to Ma Yue, "Chief, the situation is not right."
"Hmm?"
Ma Yue gave a cold glance at Guo Tu.
Guo Tu's heart jumped hastily and lowered his head. In a low voice, he said, "Those damned Wuhuan barbarians don't seem to be eager to eat meat."
"Is that so?" Ma Yue's heart jumped and said in a deep voice: "Go, take a look."
On the bank of the small river, in the Wuhuan iron cavalry formation.
Half an hour had passed, seeing that there was still nothing unusual about the Han Chinese guides. Qiu Liju finally put down his heart and said to the bald-eared wolf: "It's done, tell the brothers. You can eat meat without worries."
The bald-eared wolf gave a cheer. He roared to the sky, "Brothers, let's eat~~"
The Wuhuan barbarians, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, instantly burst out with a landslide of cheers, three groups of three and five groups of five gathered in front of a pottery pot, pulling out their sabers and poking the fatty meat and wild vegetables in the pot and devouring them. Since the imperial court of the Great Han Dynasty ordered the recruitment, the three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry has been following the right middle-ranking Huangfu Song around to conquer, has not tasted meat for a long time.
Qiu Liju also grabbed the biggest piece of fatty meat from the pot and swept it away like the wind. And from the pot fished a handful of wild vegetables chewed and ate, can not help but nod: "fragrant. What kind of meat is this? How come I've never eaten it before?"
The bald-eared wolf swallowed a piece of fatty meat with a gulp and shouted, "Whatever the hell the meat is, it's delicious."
Qiu Liju smacked a whip on the back of the wolf and scolded, "Don't just focus on eating, be careful of the 800 stragglers' sneak attack."
The 800 stragglers can be seen clearly as soon as they leave the barracks, so we have plenty of time to get on our horses and meet them.
Qiu Liju snatched the meat from the hand of the bald-eared wolf and cursed, "Eat, eat, eat, eat, and be careful of dying! Hey, save some for me, damn it!"
The Han Chinese guide grabbed a few more pieces of meat from the pot and a large pick of wild vegetables and finished eating them, then he slid to the river to wash his hands.
On the yamen, Ma Yue in Guo Tu, Xu Chu and other people accompanied by cold and solemn, far away on the river bank Wuhuan barbarians' every move vaguely visible. See these barbarians finally fall into the scheme, the pot of stewed human flesh and poisonous grass as a beautiful meal to enjoy, Ma Yue eyes leisurely swept through a hideous killing machine.
Behind Ma Yue, Guo Tu's stomach was churning again.
......
The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the problem.
Huangfu Song pointed to the map to Zhu Jun said: "Yingchuan west of Xuan Yuan Mountain, Song Mountain, north of the Yellow River blocking the way, just got the news, Yu State Shepherd, Huben Lieutenant General Yuan Shu tens of thousands of troops have been recaptured Yingchuan county south of Dingling, Kunyang counties, the army is pushing towards Yingyang day and night! Now the range of the bandits in Yingchuan has been compressed into a small area between Yangzhai, Yingyang and Changshe."
Zhu Jun said: "Although Cao Cao was defeated, but did not hurt our army's foundation, Yingchuan bandits although victory, but heavy casualties, has been greatly wounded, Ma Yue's 800 stragglers although brave and good at fighting, but ultimately only a thousand troops, as long as Qiu Liju's three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry is still, Ma Yue will not be able to turn the sky, defeat is a matter of time."
Huangfu Song said: "The general sent a secret letter, saying that Dong Zhuo and the castrati colluded with each other, falsely accused the lieutenant Zhang Wen of colluding with the Xiliang thieves with the intention of plotting rebellion, the emperor is not aware of the castrati, deceived by the party, has put the lieutenant Zhang in prison, escorted to the capital, the army returned to Dong Zhuo. The eunuchs, Zhang Jean and Zhao Zhong, persuaded the emperor day and night to send Qiu Liju's 3,000 Wuhuan iron horses to Liangzhou to crush the Bei Gong Bo Yu rebellion, and the emperor seems to be interested in moving."
Zhu Jun frowned: "This is clearly the eunuch party wants to take the military power in the hands of the general ear."
Huangfu Song sighed: "If not Qiu Liju three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry, to break Ma Yue eight hundred bandits is very difficult."
Zhu Jun said: "Old general. It seems to be a quick battle! Must be snatched in Wuhuan iron cavalry was drafted to Liangzhou before breaking eight hundred stragglers."
Huangfu Song grabbed the wine compote from the table and drained it, and said in a gruff voice: "Gong Wei's words are exactly what I want."
Two people are discussing, suddenly a small school hurried into the tent, panic, said: "two generals, the big event is not good."
Huangfu Song frowned, said in a deep voice: "What is the sound of panic?"
Colonel said: "Qiu Liju plundered the people of Yingchuan, inadvertently fell into the treacherous scheme of the bandits. Three thousand iron horsemen only escaped back more than a hundred horsemen, the rest of the troops are carried away ~ ~"
"light jang ~"
Huangfu Song end in the hands of the wine compote fell to the ground, a muffled sound.
Zhu Jun also changed color said: "What do you say! Three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry only escaped back more than a hundred riders?"
The schoolboy head on the ground, responded: "Exactly."
Huangfu Song finally came back to his senses, white beard windless, coldly said: "Where is Qiu Liju?"
"Qiu Liju fled back to the camp and immediately fell into a coma. The doctor with the army is treating."
Zhu Jun to Huangfu Song said: "old general, and to see what."
Huangfu Song nodded, the two came together to Qiu Liju camp, saw Qiu Liju pale, already into a coma, lying on the mat still trembling, two soldiers are forcing his mouth open. A doctor was pouring medicine into his mouth. When he saw Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the groom stopped in a panic and knelt on the ground.
"I have seen the two generals."
Huangfu Song gave a hint. Zhu Jun reached out his hand and pointed to the unconscious Qiu Liju on the mat. In a deep voice, he asked, "How is the condition of Lord Qiu Liju?"
The doctor said: "back to the general, Lord Qiu Liju mistakenly consumed a variety of poisonous herbs such as aconite, buttercups, cuiqiu, golden lotus, poisonous celery, etc. Fortunately, the dosage is small, so there is no fear of life, after I pour into the licorice method to eliminate its toxicity, then you can wake up."
Huangfu Song said: "along with Qiu Liju and fled back more than a hundred riding Wuhuan cavalry, can there be less poisoned?"
The doctor said: "There are three people who are less poisoned."
Zhu Jun said, "Call them here quickly."
......
The northern effect of Changshe. The camp of the eight hundred bandits.
"Whinnying~~"
A loud horse neighs straight to the clouds.
"Really good horse!" Xu Chu held the reins of the horse, reached out and stroked the nose of the stallion. Can't help but praise: "is a ten thousand miles to pick a good horse."
Ma Yue's heart moved, asked Xu Chu said: "Zhong Kang also know phase horse?"
Xu Chu said: "the ancient good phase horse, cold wind phase mouth teeth, hemp towards phase cheek, children Li phase eye, Wei Ji phase moustache, Xu despise phase coccyx, cast felling brown phase chest threat, Chen sad phase stock foot, Qin tooth phase front, Zan group phase after, where this ten people, are the world's good worker also. If Zhao's five good, Qin's Bole, the nine parties close, especially to its full extent. Its so the phase is different, see the horse a sign also, and know the section of the high and low, the foot of the slippery and easy, the material of the hard and brittle, can the length of the short."
Ma Yue listened to the clouds, but the general meaning still listened to understand, looks like Xu Chu not only the strength is infinite, the martial arts is high, but also proficient in the art of horse, this for Ma Yue eight hundred flowing invaders really can be said to be priceless treasure! After all, to form a powerful cavalry, without a group of proficient horse nature of the logistics soldier is able to imagine.
"Xu Chu listen to the order."
Xu Chu upright straight tiger body, loudly said: "in."
Ma Yue said: "From today onwards, you are the horse herder of the eight hundred stragglers! Responsible for taking care of all the horses in the army all the detailed affairs, but there is a mistake, only you are the question."
Xu Chu buzzed said: "obey the order."
The voice fell, outside the camp again sounded chaotic horse hooves, a group of stragglers cavalry drove a group of masterless war horses from outside the yamen swarmed in, splashed up the grass smoke and dust again confused the sky. The cavalry passed, Zhou Cang rolled over and landed on his horse, galloped to Ma Yue and said with a big smile: "Chief, this is the last two hundred horses, the remaining several hundred war horses ran apart, and more than a hundred horses escaped back to the Han camp in Yushi."
Zhou Cang looked full of excitement, since he became a yellow turban bandit, he had never been as comfortable as today. Those poor Wuhuan barbarians, all pale and in pain, fell off their horses as they ran, and Zhou Cang led eight hundred stragglers without even killing them. Three thousand Wuhuan iron horsemen were almost completely wiped out! Looking at the ownerless war horses running wildly in the wilderness, sorrowful neighing, Zhou Cang and the bandits were so excited that they laughed to the sky.
That is several thousand war horses, from now on will belong to the 800 bandits!
Pei Yuan Shao said with great joy: "Bo Qi, together with these two hundred horses, a total of more than 2,500 war horses have been captured from Wuhuan, the brothers no longer need to worry about not having horses to ride, haha"
Guo Tu swept a glance at Ma Yue. He saw that Ma Yue's expression was indifferent and his face was not the least bit excited. Ma Yue's indifference is not faked, because Guo Tu saw a deep worry in Ma Yue's eyes. The poisonous plan worked, three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry in a snap of a finger, eight hundred stragglers out of thin air to capture more than two thousand war horses, Ma Yue should feel excited! However, Guo Tu is confused. The horse butcher however does not seem to be happy?
"Report ~ ~" a straggler galloped in, fell to his knees in front of Ma Yue, gasped: "General Sun Zhong was killed in battle, General Liao Hua led the army has returned to the Chang She."
"Tell Liao Hua to come to the camp to see me immediately."
Ma Yue's gaze a cold, turned into the tent, Guo Tu, Pei Yuan Shao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Guan engraved, Gao Shun and other people are fish into. The left and right sides of the line.
Ma Yue walked to the case behind the seat on the ground, to Guo Tu said: "Gong then, take the map to."
Guo Tu hurriedly took two steps forward. He took out the map from his arms and spread it out on the table. Ma Yue looked at the map for half a day, then his eyes suddenly swept through a trace of gloom and he looked up and asked Gao Shun, "Gao Shun."
Gao Shun stepped forward and bowed his hand, "I am here."
"How many Yingchuan soldiers do you still have?"
Gao Shun replied, "More than a thousand men under the former General Peng Tuo, more than a thousand men under the former General Bian Xi, and 900 men under the former General Tian Zhang Liang and General Che Cavalry He Yi, totaling three thousand men."
Three thousand men? Adding Liao Hua and Sun Zhong's Yingchuan soldiers would be 6,000 men! Although the battle was heavy losses. But the remaining are the strong, the fighting ability is only stronger than weak! More importantly, after this battle. Zhang Liang, He Yi, Peng Tuo, Bian Xi, Sun Zhong and other senior generals in the Yellow Turban Army were mostly killed in battle, and no one could threaten Ma Yue's position in Yingchuan.
As long as Liao Hua is taken care of, the 6,000 elite soldiers in Yingchuan can be fully grasped. In time, these 6,000 elite soldiers may not become another fearsome eight hundred stragglers.
"Report ~~ General Liao Hua requests to see you."
"Let him in."
The tent curtain lifted, Liao Hua angrily straight into, at the head of the tent arch hand bowed and said: "Liao Hua see the great general."
Ma Yue's gaze was cold and he said sternly, "Liao Hua, do you know your crime?"
Liao Hua was stunned and said, "Why did the great general say that?"
Ma Yue shouted, "As the head of the four guardians (Zhang Liang appointed Liao Hua, Bian Xi, Peng Tuo and Sun Zhong as the four guardians), you did not supervise your troops well, and three generals, Peng Tuo, Bian Xi and Sun Zhong, were killed in battle.
Liao Hua was sad to hear that Bian Xi, Peng Tuo and Sun Zhong had died in the battle, he was more upset than anyone else.
Ma Yue took advantage of the situation and said, "Liao Hua, do you know your crime?"
Liao Hua said gloomily, "Liao Hua knows the crime, I am at the disposal of the great general for punishment."
Ma Yue said morosely, "Good, from today on, you will be demoted to be a general of one hundred men, are you convinced?"
Liao Hua said helplessly, "Yes."
Ma Yue's gaze was cold and he said in a deep voice, "Gao Shun, listen to the order."
Gao Shun's body trembled and stepped forward sharply, saying, "I am here."
Ma Yue said, "From today, you will be the commander of Yingchuan infantry army, and you will be in charge of 6,000 Yingchuan strong men."
Gao Shun looked solemn and said in a loud voice, "The last general obeys the order."
......
Cao Cao's camp.
Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao with a gloomy expression, "Lord, in the battle of Yingchuan, our army lost a total of more than 2,000 soldiers, and the whereabouts of General Cao Hong, General Xiahou Yuan and General Le Jin are still unknown."
Cao Cao looked miserable and sighed tersely, "I think it's a long shot."
Chen Gong advised, "The lucky man has his own destiny, the Lord need not worry."
While the three of them were talking, Xiahou Dun suddenly entered with a high voice and said, "Mengde, we have just received a report from our scouts that Zi Lian and Miao Cai are both unharmed, so we will return to the camp."
Cao Cao asked urgently, "Do you know the whereabouts of Wen Qian?"
Xiahou Dun looked gloomy and said with compassion, "Wenqian was killed in battle."
"Wen Qian!" Cao Cao exclaimed with a painful cry and a sorrowful look on his face. Long sigh: "I lost Wenqian, like a fierce tiger's broken wings, a strong man's broken wrists.
Xiahou Dun eyes swept through a trace of cold, buzzing voice: "the next day on the battlefield I vowed to behead Liao Hua, dedicated to the spirit of Wen Qian, to tell the spirit of the deceased!"
Cheng Yu and Chen Gong also persuaded Cao Cao said: "My Lord, please mourn, and now Yingchuan bandits have not been destroyed. It is not the time to grieve."
Cheng Yu and Chen Gong were advising when Cao Ren rushed in with a frightened look on his face, Xiahou Dun frowned and said, "Why is Zi Xiao panicking?"
Cao Ren took a breath and said urgently, "Lord, the last general just went to visit Lord Qiu Liju. But I heard the news that the three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry had been completely wiped out."
"What!"
When Cao Ren said this, Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong and Xiahou Dun all changed, Xiahou Dun was incredulous, "How is this possible? Even if the 800 stragglers were incredibly powerful, they would not be able to wipe out the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry?"
Cao Ren spread his hand. Said: "I also do not believe, but the fact is! Qiu Liju's three thousand Wuhuan iron cavalry were not only wiped out, but all the horses and troops were also taken away by the 800 stragglers."
"Bad!" Cao Cao thought about it for a moment. Then he said with horror. "The 800 stragglers only have more than a thousand cavalry and they are still difficult to deal with, but now they have half of Wuhuan's war horses, so they are like a tiger with wings! It is difficult to figure the ~ ~"
Chen Gong thought for a moment, eyes leisurely swept a trace of cold color, said in a deep voice: "It may not be."
"Hmm?" Cao Cao glanced at Chen Gong in surprise and asked, "Why did Gongtai say that?"
Chen Gong said, "As the saying goes, if a man loses his horse, he will not know that it is not a blessing. If Qiu Liju's 3,000 Wuhuan iron horsemen are not lost, the 800 stragglers will know they are no match. Fear will flee and go, and then want to figure out the difficult. Now three thousand wu shen iron cavalry all ink, eight hundred stragglers heart of the problem is gone, our army are foot soldiers, not as fast as the stragglers cavalry action, the bandits will be arrogant, this time to break the enemy to ~ ~ ".
Cheng Yu smiled and thought about it.
Cao Cao said: "Gongtai would like to elaborate a little bit?"
Chen Gong said, "Lord, the defeat of our army in Yingchuan was due to Ma Yue's maliciousness and our negligence, not the strength of the 800 bandits, right?"
Cao Cao said, "Yes."
Chen Gong said, "If the two armies set up a frontal battle, would the 800 stragglers be enough to fear?"
Cao Cao said, "Not enough to be feared."
Chen Gong said, "Then, what is the fear?"
Cao Cao said: "The only thing I am afraid of is the 800 stragglers running around, making our army tired of running around, then on the way to the army will reveal the weaknesses, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Cheng Yu said: "Gongtai's idea, I already know."
Chen Gong smiled faintly, no more words, the rest of the topic to Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu said: "Lord, if the Wuhuan iron cavalry is still in, the eight hundred stragglers know they are no match for the fear of leading and far away, then our army chase the late, and then want to break the difficult. Now that Wuhuan's iron horsemen are all gone, the 800 stragglers have nothing to fear and will stay in Yingchuan for a long time without leaving, so the opportunity to break the enemy still exists."
Cao Cao narrow small eyes in a flash of brilliant, suddenly start before the table, to the map to examine up, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong also followed around to the table before, Cheng Yu pointed to the map and said: "Lord and look, this is Yingchuan, to the west is Song Mountain, Xuanyuan Mountain, cavalry difficult to pass, to the north is the Yellow River, the bandits difficult to cross, although there is a big road to Luoyang, but there is Bishui, Hujuan The road is impassable."
Chen Gong then said: "Yingchuan to the south is Nanyang, Runan, now Huben Zhonglang General Yuan Jie tens of thousands of troops, even defeated Dingling, Kunyang several counties, the military front directly forced Yingyang, Yingchuan bandits have been compressed to the narrow area between Chang She, Yingyang, Yangzhai, if Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song two road army and the Lord can be crushed from east to west, in cooperation with Yuan Jie's army to form an iron wall siege If Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and the Lord can press from east to west, together with Yuan Shu's army, they can form an iron wall siege and trap the bandits in Yangzhai."
Cao Cao was worried, "If the 800 stragglers break out of the siege, how can they be stopped?"
Chen Gong smiled confidently and said, "The battle of Yingchuan, in my opinion, is a battle of integration between the major forces of the bandits. Ma Yue, who has the power of Yingchuan bandits, will not want to leave behind thousands of foot soldiers and only lead the cavalry to break out of the siege, the opportunity will be gone soon, when our army forms an iron wall siege, the 800 stragglers then want to break out of the siege, it is too late."
"Oh?"
Cao Cao heard the words and suddenly his eyes lit up.
......
The Yellow Turban Army camp in Changshe.
In the long and long horn sound, a team of Yingchuan yellow turban bandits drove out from the barracks and came to the school field to form up. Gao Shun, who had just been appointed by Ma Yue as the commander of the Yingchuan army, stood on the pointing platform with his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking up at the sky with a serious expression and without the slightest hint of emotion between his eyebrows.
By Gao Shun's side, stood the gloomy Liao Hua.
Once upon a time, Gao Shun was just a personal soldier of Peng Tuo, but now, Gao Shun is going to become the commander of Liao Hua. ChangShe scramble to the thrill, LiaoHua all already know, if not GaoShun in the face of danger, command PengTuo more than a thousand old troops to a few to repel the attack of XiaHouYuan's Han army, this battle victory is difficult to predict.
So, for Gao Shun ground ability, Liao Hua is heartily admire, but admire is one thing, obey is another. Seeing that the yellow turban bandits had almost assembled, Liao Hua yelled, "Brothers, the general has an order, from today onwards, the chief Gao Shun is the commander of the group, all brothers have to listen to the commander Gao Shun condemnation ~ ~"
Liao Hua's voice has not yet fallen, under the military platform has exploded, in addition to Peng Tuo's more than 1,000 old troops, the rest of the yellow turban bandits have begun to Peng noise. The last remaining 6,000 yellow turban bandits are not a good fighter, if they do not have certain skills, it is impossible to survive the fierce killings again and again, and have lived until now.
The bandit soldiers can be killed from the bloody rain, more or less will bring some banditry, just find someone, but really can not suppress them.
"Why let him be the commander?"
"We only listen to General Liao Hua, no one else can!"
"That's right, he is a ball?"
"Roll down~~"
The clamor of the bandits became more and more intense, especially the dozens of leaders under Liao Hua's men who were afraid of the world, fanning the flames everywhere. The Yellow Turban soldiers under the stage are furious, but Gao Shun looks calm, not moved at all.
......
Ma Yue's camp.
Guo Tu looked gloomy, rickety back to Ma Yue said: "Big chief, according to Tu's opinion, Yingchuan is not a place to stay for a long time, we should immediately turn into."
Ma Yue leaned on the tiger skin cushion, his gaze flickered, and asked sorrowfully, "Why did you say that?"
Guo Tu whispered, "To the west of Yingchuan, there are Song Mountain and Xiongguan, to the north there is the Yellow River, Yuan Shu's army is approaching Yingyang, and there are three elite Han armies, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Cao Cao, waiting on the side, this is really a land of tigers and wolves.
Ma Yue said, "Although we have got more than 2,000 war horses, there are 6,000 Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, so if we turn in with light horses, what should we do with the extra foot soldiers?"
Guo Tu said, "We can abandon them."
Ma Yue's eyebrows jumped, coldly swept Guo Tu a glance, Guo Tu's neck shrunken anxiously back down a step, shrinking back into the candle flame difficult to reach the shadow.
"Gongze's words are exactly what I want!"
Just when Guo Tu thought he had said the wrong thing, Ma Yue suddenly and gloomily emerged with a sentence.
