Chapter 2835 3098 Jinyang Storm
There began to be commotion in the Yellow Turban bandits' formation. The soldiers standing around Lin Tianyao began to look around in horror, and the timid ones began to retreat quietly. The leader is dead, and no one will step forward to rebuild the morale of the army at this time. After confirming the identity of General Lin Tianyao, no one dared to resist, and no one made a futile attempt to regroup the morale of the army. And once someone retreats, it will cause a snowball-like reaction. More people will begin to retreat, and fewer and fewer people can hold on to their original positions.
Lin Tianyao sat on the tiger, looking at this scene, but his heart felt sour. Yellow turban thieves are just yellow turban thieves. After all, they are not regular officers and soldiers. I am just one person. Even if I have the power to reach heaven, can I still defeat thousands of people with the strength of one person? If these thousands of people go crazy together, then there is only death waiting for Lin Tianyao. However, the Yellow Turban thieves have been enveloped in fear, and no one realizes this.
Everyone is afraid of death and dare not step forward. With such an army, even if it fights a hundred battles or wins a thousand battles, it is impossible for it to be successful. On such empty flat land, thousands of Yellow Turban thieves charged. No matter how bad their weapons were, they were still more than enough for Lin Tianyao.
There were fewer and fewer yellow scarf thieves around him. Finally, someone couldn't bear the fear, shouted, turned around and ran away, and then more people turned around and fled.
In essence, they are just a group of thieves, not an army. Everyone in the army can risk their lives, but thieves will only move forward when they are victorious. If there is even the slightest setback, they will run without thinking about their own lives.
After Lin Tianyao easily killed the leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves and lifted his head into the air with a gun, the morale accumulated by the Yellow Turban Thieves from several victories had disappeared. The yellow scarf thief standing at the back seemed to have better equipment. However, after killing a few people who were escaping, he gave up this futile attempt and turned around and ran away.
Those people are law enforcement officers in the army, responsible for killing those who escape on the battlefield. But in the final analysis, they were just a group of farmers a few days ago and had never received formal military training. How could they still stick to their duties under such circumstances? More importantly, they are not very brave people.
The army was defeated like a mountain, which is a perfect word to describe the current Yellow Turban thieves. One or two, they scrambled to escape, fearing that they would be too slow to escape. There was no telling how many of them were trampled to death by their companions. How can a regular army be like this? !
Even if I have never studied history, as a college student, I am still familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms. Even if the regular army is defeated, someone will be responsible for the rear and block the enemy's pursuit. And now these yellow scarf thieves...
Lin Tianyao only killed one of their leaders, but this time at least dozens of Yellow Turban thieves must have died. Except for the middle-aged man, everyone else was trampled to death by their own robes.
It is no wonder that such an army could not last more than three months under the joint stranglehold of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, the last famous generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Lin Tianyao allowed these yellow scarf thieves to leave and did not pursue them behind. Firstly, he doesn't have that ability, and secondly, he doesn't want to do it.
These people were all from poor peasant backgrounds. In this era, people were in dire straits, and coupled with high tax burdens, it was not uncommon for the government to force the people to rebel. How could Lin Tianyao kill these people? !
After a long time, the gate of the village was opened, and an old man led a group of strong men and ran excitedly towards Lin Tianyao. Lin Tianyao's performance just now was a dream even for them.
"The brave man lifted the siege of my village today and saved the lives of thousands of members of my Zhang family. We will never be able to repay the kindness of the brave man forever! Please invite the brave man back to the village. The little old man has ordered people to prepare wine and wine. Eat!”
The leading old man, the patriarch of the village, said to Lin Tianyao, and Lin Tianyao nodded with a sinking face, and followed them back to the village. On the other hand, the old man also gave instructions to the hunter who had led Lin Tianyao here:
"Zhang Sanjin, hurry up and walk on the mountain road and go to Jinyang Mansion to talk to Ding Xianggong about this matter! Don't go to Mayi. Mayi has been surrounded! Please Ding Xianggong send someone to Ma Yi quickly. Rescue the siege! Otherwise, Duke Zhang’s life will be in danger!”
The Orion nodded and left the crowd, not to mention going to Jinyang. However, Lin Tianyao was welcomed into the village by a group of people.
…
Jinyang, the meeting hall of Bingzhou Governor's Office.
Orion Zhang Sanjin was brought here by a small official. He was embarrassed and told the truth about what happened in the village to several husbands in the hall.
The story of how he subdued the tiger and beheaded the leader of the Yellow Turban bandits in the battle line made several important people in the hall feel puzzled.
Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, asked Zhang Sanjin again and again, and after confirming that what he said was not a lie, he asked him to go down to receive the reward. Turning his head, Ding Yuan looked at the civil servant under his door with a surprised look on his face and said:
"The Yellow Turbans are powerful, and there are many local ruffians to help, massacring the countryside, and they have committed many crimes. Today, Yanmen Mayi is besieged, and I didn't expect such a strong man in the small village! Come to think of it, he was undoubtedly a warrior at that time! I want to recruit them, what do you think?"
Some officials had already responded: "The Yellow Turbans are so powerful that it has nothing to do with me in Jinyang. However, the Black Mountain bandit Li Daniu's tribe is said to be one hundred thousand, and there is no way to get it in a hurry. Now that the flying general is not here, even if we recruit this tiger general, what's the use?!" Besides, Yanmen Mayi is in danger, and Magistrate Zhang Suzhang doesn’t know how long he can hold on, my lord, why not fight with that Black Mountain bandit..."
Ding Yuan raised his eyebrows, and the official couldn't continue talking. Everyone understands what he means. When Ding Yuan saw that he had stopped talking, he suddenly stood up and yelled:
"I am a Han general. How can I ignore the bandits' rebellion today? Be careful what you say! If you let the villain listen and report it to the court, I will not be able to protect you!" …
