Chapter 270 The Villain, the Defeat Is Set

More than ten thousand wolf cavalry, fifty thousand county soldiers, twenty thousand soldiers returning from the south, plus the auxiliary soldiers in charge of logistics, according to the usual tactics of military strategists, exaggerated it, and it was completely called an army of two hundred thousand.

As for the Yellow Turban bandits who attacked Taiyuan and other places, the number may not be less than 300,000.

Even the people in Qianshou, who don't know how to fight, know that this kind of large-scale battle must not be fought in a swarm, and must be divided up in advance.

Because of this, Ding Yuan's gathering of generals this time is based on the information sent by Lu Bu, analyzing the situation, and arranging the order of the army's advance.

"It's late in the future, my lord forgive me."

At this moment, Lu Li lifted the curtain, and under the watchful eyes of the generals, walked side by side with Zhao Yun to the empty seat, saying that he was pleading guilty, but his footsteps were extremely brisk, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop turning up, as if he knew some great happy event .

And Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "Ding Gong."

"Hahaha, what's wrong?"

Seeing Lu Li smiling, Ding Yuan understood instantly. He happened to see a wine stain on Zhao Yun's sleeve, and he couldn't help joking, "It's my fault for disturbing you while you're drinking."

"When the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who caused the rebellion are overthrown, and the old man hosts a banquet for the generals, I will ask the righteous men to reward them generously."

"You haven't built an inch of merit, how can you have the face to participate in the celebration banquet set by Ding Gong?" Zhao Yun said with a solemn expression, "If Ding Gong doesn't dislike it, Yun is willing to lead Qianqi as the vanguard to open the way for the army."

From the place of loyalty.

In order to win, regardless of the body of a thousand gold, personally lead soldiers to rob the camp, guard the land of Han, and protect the peace of one side, this is loyalty.

Traveling thousands of miles to rescue Zhang Yi, although things backfired, someone stole the city and killed the assassin, but this loyalty cannot be buried.

In Zhao Yun's view, Ding Yuan is indeed the master of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hahaha, I have my wish, I dare not ask for it!"

Ding Yuan's hearty laughter sounded in the tent.

Zhang Liao on the side was also delighted. Heroes cherish heroes. This is not wrong, just like meeting Lu Li back then.

Frankly speaking, as the first person to know about Zhao Yun's decision, Lu Li still felt his feet tremble.

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, plus the elite wolf cavalry, and the powerful soldiers of Bingzhou, who in the world can compete with them?

The same goes for the rest of the generals, they were not as far ahead as Lu Li, they just thought that adding a strong general to the army would make it easier to suppress the Yellow Turban Bandits, with a sincere smile on their faces.

In an instant, the unique dignified atmosphere before the war was swept away.

However, the military situation must not be delayed.

Lu Bu said in the letter:

Seeing that the local defenders have not received support for a long time, their morale has been extremely weak. Most of the land in Hedong County has been lost. The situation in Taiyuan County is slightly better, but it is not optimistic. There is a traitor named Zhou Tian. , and became an ally with the Yellow Turban thief Qu Shuai Guo Tai, who claimed to have an army of 50,000. He had sent troops from Shilou in Xihe County to attack Taiyuan eastward.

Therefore, Ding Yuan decided to launch a battle to stabilize the situation in Bingzhou with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Considering that this battle took place inside Bingzhou, the soldiers were familiar with the environment and did not have to act together as before. Ding Yuan, who was full of confidence, directly divided the troops other than the supply troops into four branches: divided soldiers, Xing army, heel army, army.

The army, as the name suggests, is the main attacking force.

The heel army set off before the main army, walked a hundred miles in front of the main army, brought three days of rations, and made an appointment for combat time. When the time came, they would have a big meal and enter the battle state.

The Xing army set off before the heel army, a hundred miles away from the heel army, with six days' rations, responsible for scouting the situation, and took the lead to join the large troops staying in the south.

But divide the pawns to occupy the key points, and the advantage of war is to pursue the north, and follow the troops. That is, the divide pawns need to occupy the dangerous places in advance. First, it is easy to win when the army is engaged in battle. Second, it can command the troops to quickly pursue the fleeing enemy. .

"Where is Zhao Yun?"

To show his importance, Ding Yuan took the lead in calling his name.

"The end will be here."

Zhao Yun restrained his expression and stepped out of the crowd.

"Shilou City has high walls and thick walls, and it is located in an important border area. If you want to destroy the bandit army in this battle, you must first cut off the way back. You lead a thousand cavalry and go around the Qiang territory."

Xu was worried about Zhao Yun's early involvement in the army, Ding Yuan explained kindly: "The Qiang people plunder the border every year, this time they will definitely take advantage of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans to make trouble and go deep into the city, without caring about their own territory behind them. "

"The last general takes orders."

Zhao Yun seemed very adaptable, and immediately got up and returned to his original position after accepting the military order.

Seeing this, Ding Yuan didn't hesitate, he tilted his head and said, "Where is General Yamen Lu Li?"

"The end will be here."

"Meng Ming, you will lead two thousand cavalry with enough rations for six days, and serve as the vanguard, keep a distance of two hundred miles from the army, and be responsible for delivering news and scouting the surrounding area."

Lu Li buried his head deeply.

"The last general takes orders."

Thousands of miles away, Xihe County, Shilou.

There was a big flag on the top of the garrison fort, and the big "Zhou" was fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, Zhou Tian, ​​who has tens of thousands of soldiers, stands at the highest point, with his lips tightly pressed, reviewing his subordinates——

All kinds of weapons, bows, arrowheads, crossbows, knives, swords, spears, spears, axes, and meteor hammers, are even more unacceptable. Iron weapons account for only half of them, and the rest are made of bronze.

No, with a quick glance, Zhou Tian also saw the figure of the bone weapon.

In an instant, he had an illusion in his heart that he had come to the ancient times.

And this is still a soldier who barely armed himself after killing Shangguan and opening the arsenal in the stone building.

Frankly speaking, if the leaders of the various tribes of the Qiang tribe hadn't agreed to support them, Zhou Tian would have packed up his things and fled long ago, even if he had the courage to rebel.

"Brother, if the situation is not right, retreat quickly. Bingzhou has Lu Bu and Zhang Liao in charge, so what are we going to fight with?"

Another old acquaintance.

Du Quan put his hand on Zhou Tian's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, cheating the fragments of "Taiping Tianshu" from Qu Shuai Guo Tai is a big profit. There is no need to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers."

"That guy Lu Li has really realized the battle spirit?"

However, Zhou Tian did not respond positively, but instead asked: "You said, everyone is a freshman, and there is not much gap in the early stage, why did he get the qualification so early?"

"Luck..."

After only two words, Du Quan remained silent.

How could it possibly come down to luck?

Thinking of the sight of the other party leading hundreds of cavalrymen rushing into the Huns camp for a bloody battle, Du Quan lost his temper instantly. If it was him, he would definitely not dare to do this——

Back then, Yunzhong County was besieged, in order to survive and his own future, he personally cut off the governor's head and presented it to King Zuo Xian as a reward for promotion.

"The times make heroes, and there will be opportunities to settle those accounts in the future."

Said, Zhou Tian raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

Five hundred Xiongnu riders, wearing round shields and holding sharp axes, all rode tall horses.

You know, this is the team that Du Quan managed to pull together. For this, he sacrificed too many things. If all of them are folded in...

With this in mind, Zhou Tian promised: "Brother, you are right."

"Let's lead the army to the east first, and meet Qu commander Guo Tai. Once we get the "Taiping Tianshu", we will quickly withdraw with our elite and save some cannon fodder. It is right to keep our promise."
