Chapter 2136 First Battle

Yingchuan was the place where Bo Cai started his uprising, so it was naturally very important to him, equivalent to a base.

The Eastern Han court sent Left General Huangfu Song and Right General Zhu Jun to lead 40,000 infantry and cavalry to Yingchuan. No matter whether it was Zhang Jue, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, or Bo Cai, the controller of Yingchuan, they would not allow them to be suppressed.

The Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai quickly returned to Yingchuan County and stationed at the most important transportation route before the Eastern Han court army arrived.

"Jiang Qi!" After setting up camp, Bo Cai immediately went up to the tent to summon his generals. After everyone arrived, he looked around and looked at Jia Zhengjin.

"I'm here!" Jia Zhengjin stood up with his fists.

"You are the vanguard, lead 3,000 troops to find out the strength of the Han army!" Bo Cai ordered.

"Yes!" Jia Zhengjin actually didn't like this kind of troublesome thing, but he had to act like what role he played. He took the order and went to the military camp immediately.

When he saw the 3,000 Yellow Turban soldiers handed to him, he was speechless.

The 3,000 men were full, all wearing yellow scarves, and their morale was high. However, there were not many young and strong men, most of them were little boys about 14 or 15 years old, as thin as monkeys, and there were also some gray-haired old men who were shaking with their weapons.

However, they were all fanatical believers of the Yellow Scarf, at least they were very brave in battle.

The stronger Yellow Scarf soldiers were all in the main account, and they were considered to be Bo Cai's personal soldiers, so of course they could not be lent to him.

These 3,000 people were all infantry, and about 1,000 of them could barely be called spearmen, at least they had simple weapons such as spears. The rest were hoes and farm tools, and some directly used sharpened sticks or bamboo instead.

Shouldn't the vanguard officer lead the cavalry to the expedition? Such a team is not mobile enough, right?

Never mind!

With 3,000 Yellow Scarves, Jia Zhengjin marched in the direction of the Eastern Han army.

He walked and stopped along the way, and suddenly found smoke and dust in front of him near Yangguan, and immediately ordered the whole army to line up.

The Yellow Turban soldiers didn't know how to line up, they just raised their weapons in a mess and prepared for battle.

A cavalry of about 500 people appeared in front, wearing the standard uniforms of Han Dynasty soldiers.

Jia Zhengjin was envious, this is the standard of the vanguard army!

The two armies met,

A general rushed out of the Han army, riding a red horse under his crotch, holding a steel spear in his hand, and walked forward alone: ​​"Yangcheng Zhu Ting is here! Yellow Turban thief general, dare to fight?"

What the hell? You want to fight me one-on-one when you meet? Jia Zhengjin was a little speechless, but he still rode forward and raised his long spear in his hand: "The vanguard officer Jiang Qi is here, accept your death!"

"Go!" Zhu Ting squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, raised his steel spear and ran wildly.

Jia Zhengjin also rushed out of the army and quickly fought.

The two horses crossed, Zhu Ting shouted, and stabbed with the steel spear in his hand.

Jia Zhengjin dodged sideways and crossed with him.

After running for a while, both sides pulled the reins and turned their horses around, rushing towards each other again.

This time, Jia Zhengjin used continuous stabbing without hesitation, attacking continuously before Zhu Ting raised his spear.

"Puff puff puff!" The spear tip accurately stabbed Zhu Ting's three vital points, and the opponent fell off his horse and died directly.

"Roar! Roar! Roar..." The morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly boosted, and they shouted in unison.

The 500 cavalrymen of the Han army panicked when they saw their commander was killed.

Jia Zhengjin stepped forward to pick up Zhu Ting's body, jumped onto his red horse, snatched his steel spear, pointed the spear at the Han cavalry and ordered loudly: "Kill!!"

"Kill--!" The Yellow Turban soldiers rushed over like crazy.

The other side had no leader, and they could not resist for a while, so they turned around and fled.

Jia Zhengjin led his army to kill more than a hundred cavalrymen and robbed their horses. The rest ran too fast, and the Yellow Turban Army ran after all, and there was nothing they could do but watch them leave.

This encounter was a complete victory. The enemy had almost no resistance, and the Yellow Turban Army suffered only a few dozen casualties.

After robbing the warhorse, Jia Zhengjin had more than a hundred cavalrymen under his command. Although they were not trained, they looked much more powerful than before.

From Zhu Ting, he found a skill book of [Rapid Shooting] and a [Big Sword Token].

Of the more than a hundred cavalrymen, only one [Cavalry Token] was exploded.

After learning [Rapid Shooting], the archery speed is increased.

This is a skill of the archery department.

[Big Sword Token] can transfer soldiers to big sword guards, giving them the guard skill [Crescent Slash].

The rest are all garbage spoils, most of which are low-level materials.

After the first battle, Jia Zhengjin decided to pursue the victory and lead the Yellow Turban Army to chase along the way.

When he arrived at the border of Yangguan, he looked at the surrounding terrain and found a hillside suitable for reconnaissance. He immediately led the Yellow Turban Army to the top of the hill.

As expected, he could see clearly from the top of the hill that the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Eastern Han Dynasty were connected into one, and there were Sheng flags everywhere.

The defeated cavalry returned to the camp, apparently to report to the Han generals.

Jia Zhengjin remembered the Han army's military formation and immediately led the Yellow Turban Army to reverse the situation.

Returning to the Yellow Turban tent, he took Zhu Ting's head and strode to Bo Cai and knelt on one knee: "General Qu, I have found out the Han army's military formation. I met the Han general Zhu Ting on the way and killed him! And killed more than a hundred Han cavalry!"

The soldier took the head and presented it. Bo Cai opened it and took a look, showing a happy face: "Jiang Xianfeng is really brave! Quickly draw the layout of the Han army camp for me!"

"Yes!" Jia Zhengjin took the brush and drew the shape of the Han army's formation on the kraft paper by memory, and marked the Sheng flag he saw, "General Qu, the military formation is divided into two places..."

When Jia Zhengjin drew the complete battle formation, Bo Cai closed his eyes and thought, then nodded: "The Han army is divided into two groups, and they are in a pincer attack. The Han generals who were killed this time should be Zhu Jun's subordinates... Jiang Xianfeng, you have made an invaluable contribution! A reward of one thousand gold and one hundred pieces of silk!"

"Thank you, General Qu!"

"Jiang Xianfeng is tired from the journey, you can go back to the tent to rest. The rest of the generals, discuss with me how to defeat the enemy!"

"Yes!"

When Bo Cai and other Yellow Turban generals were discussing the strategy of a surprise attack on the Han army, Jia Zhengjin returned to the camp.

As a result, after the reward was delivered, he felt very disappointed.

The one thousand gold that Bo Cai mentioned was not one thousand kilograms of gold, or one thousand gold coins, but just one thousand copper coins.

He didn't want gold or anything, but simply felt a little disappointed because the value of gold and copper was too different.

The silk was real, a pile of cloth with nice patterns.

"Come here!" After counting, he shouted directly to the outside.

"What do you want, General?" A Yellow Turban soldier entered the tent and saluted respectfully.

"Give all of these to the soldiers!"

"Yes!"

Of the three thousand Yellow Turbans under his command, only two thousand nine hundred and seventy remained. They were extremely happy to hear that the vanguard officer did not ask for any reward and gave it all to them.

The reason they followed the Yellow Turban uprising was because the court was corrupt and they could not make ends meet.

Although there was not much left after the reward was equally distributed to each soldier, it was also free, and each of them was grateful to the vanguard officer "Jiang Qi".
