The order Xiao Yang gave was not an order to directly kill the enemy, nor was the order given to the twenty-one officers in front of him.
He shook his head and motioned for everyone to follow him. Xiao Yang led his officers to an arrow's throw away and was looking at the soldiers here uneasily.
Getting straight to the point, Xiao Yang shouted to the Han soldiers in front of him: "Did you hear just now? Two miles ahead, a hundred thousand Yellow Turban bandit troops have already pressed forward. Do you dare to come with me to kill them?"
"dare¡ª¡ª"
In the middle of the hesitant half-breath of the two thousand soldiers, behind Xiao Yang, the word "dare" suddenly burst out with his throat torn open and wildly roared out.
This word "dare" with extremely firm belief was the determination of Liu Tang, Zhou Xiang, Wenpin and other twenty-one military commanders, speaking in unison, responding to General Xiao's call.
People have a herd mentality. Even if there is a bottomless black abyss ahead, as long as everyone rushes to jump. Then the vast majority of people behind will follow without hesitation. As for jumping and not regretting it after discovering the danger, that's another matter.
With their immediate superior at the head, the two thousand soldiers imitated Xiao Yang and Liu Tang with excited expressions, holding their weapons high and shouting loudly.
"General, the bandits are only a mile and a half away from here."
The fourth reconnaissance rider rushed to Xiao Yang's side. He didn't even get off his horse and started reporting loudly on horseback.
"It's so slow. They didn't have enough to eat this morning. We've been waiting for so long." Xiao Yang didn't care in front of the troops and mocked the Yellow Turban Army.
Wenpin is the most familiar with this method of damaging the enemy's image and improving one's own morale.
"I heard that there are many women and children in the bandit army. Of course they can't walk fast." Wenpin joked, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Everyone's nervous hearts relaxed secretly without even realizing it.
??Joking is just a means. If you want to win, the key depends on the arrangements and planning before the war.
Xiao Yang quickly seized the opportunity and gave orders to the scouts who rushed back from the front in front of one or two sticks of incense. He tore off his token again and asked them to take it with them, and quickly went to the rear to find General Huangfu. He also told them that General Huangfu's army must arrive here within half an hour.
These two messengers flew back to report for help. They were the third messengers that Xiao Yang sent to Huangfu Song in less than an hour today.
" Xiao Yang already had a preconceived opinion about Huangfu Song. This man was loyal to the emperor, patriotic, honest to the people, upright, and a great man with a broad mind. The Yellow Turban Army, which was in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, was able to be extinguished mainly due to his efforts.
Then, Huang Fusong, who got the news, will definitely send the army to come to the Yellow Scarf Thoves Army in the suburbs of the wilderness.
Are you looking forward to Huangfu Song¡¯s arrival? Do you really want Huangfu Song¡¯s army to come?
The answer is yes. Xiao Yang knew that deep down in his heart, he was terrified and walking on thin ice about this first battle after traveling to the end of Han Dynasty.
Whether the opponent is 100,000 people or 5,000 people? No matter whether the opponent is a mob or an elite cavalry?
Your own attitude must be corrected first. To fear your opponent is to respect yourself, and to respect your own life.
Two thousand people against one hundred thousand people. Even if the opponent's 100,000 people are old, young, women and children, even if you can hit one of their weakest links and cause them to bomb the camp in a chain. But when chasing, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers will curl up after killing people and chopping bones for a long time.
What¡¯s more, the opponents are charging at them fiercely. Is their fighting power really as unbearable as I imagined?
Everything is unknown.
It¡¯s just that people live in this world and have reached this position. There are some things that you know you can't do, but you still have to bite the bullet and hit, bump, and break through.
People in the arena involuntarily.
People in officialdom also have no control over their own actions.
Xiao Yang took a deep breath and waved the Baipi Sword in his hand. His eyes were like lightning, like water, like the scorching sun in winter, like thunder in the middle of the night, and he quickly scanned the troops. He turned around, looked at the twenty-one officers, and shouted: "Everyone is in his position, and everything will be done according to plan."
The last reconnaissance cavalry who stayed in front to scout the sentry arrived just in time. The horse hasn't arrived yet, and you still haven't seen whether General Xiao is there? The two of them were already shouting loudly: "General, general, the enemy is less than half a mile away from here, less than half a mile away."
Half a mile, two hundred and fifty meters away. The best archer, holding a special strong bow, can shoot with one arrow if he uses his strength. Ordinary archer?It's only the distance of two arrows.
With such a close distance, there is no need for them to report the news. As soon as he turned his head, no, without turning his head, Xiao Yang could already hear all kinds of sounds, sharp, wild, shouting, suppressed, explosive, excited, they were already spreading along the hot wind. Come over.
Although Wenpin was promoted from a soldier to acting music director not long ago, he had five hundred elites in his hands and had not been systematically trained by him for a few days. But Xiao Yang was still superstitious about history books, superstitious celebrities, and superstitious about Cao Cao's ability to recognize people.
The elite who led the army to fight back against the bandit army were none other than Wenpin's 500 men, plus Xiao Yang who was holding a hundred swords high.
There are 2,500 people, divided into five songs, each with 500 people. Among them, there are 500 heavy troops from Zhou Xiang's baggage camp.
Zhou Xiang followed Xiao Yang's design and led five hundred baggage, pushing, carrying, carrying and carrying various materials. He spread his legs and ran back.
The bandit army behind them was all over the mountains and plains, their ear-splitting shouts of killing, and the sound of footsteps shaking the earth made them "flee" so fast that Zhou Xiang didn't need any further encouragement at all.
The official ranks in the baggage army are actually the same as those in the regular army. There are songs, garrisons and teams. Zhou Xiang followed Xiao Yang's instructions and gave some urgent instructions to the remaining five camp commanders before the heavy troops fled.
The heavy baggage troops that seemed to be escaping were actually divided into five groups of troops, one group at a time, carrying various materials with them and retreating back. After a mile and a half, the five villages were slowly throwing things from the ground.
Zhou Xiang¡¯s heavy troops were the first to evacuate. Because they had to carry military supplies when withdrawing, they could not withdraw faster than the infantry, so Xiao Yang asked Zhou Xiang to withdraw first.
"Following them were Liu Tang's five hundred people. Three and a half miles back, there is a hill where people and horses can be ambush. Xiao Yang didn't dare to put Liu Tang in front of him because of his impatience. After all, once Liu Tang becomes jealous, Xiao Yang is afraid that even he himself will not be able to persuade Liu Tang to withdraw.
Once Liu Tang refused to evacuate, he would not be able to evacuate first regardless of the life and death of his five hundred people. Therefore, when giving the order, Xiao Yang first gave the order to Liu Tang with a straight face and half roar. After a military order, even if Liu Tang still had tens of millions of dissatisfactions, he could only execute the military order first.
Behind Wenpin's first song are five hundred people from Ruan Lie's second song. Compared with Liu Tang's impetuous character, Ruan Lie is relatively calm. No matter what happens when Xiao Yang's military orders are carried out? He always acts first and asks questions later. Even though he was dissatisfied and had doubts in his heart.
However, Ruan Lie's martial prowess was slightly inferior to Liu Tang's. There's nothing you can do about it, people always have some shortcomings. It was impossible for Xiao Yang to find a talent like Wenpin in a short period of time.
Zhu Shou¡¯s Zuoqu has 500 men. Xiao Yang¡¯s task for him is to watch after Xiao Yang¡¯s military order to retreat after the battle of 1,000 people in the front and back qus. Which part of the troops will be entangled? He was going to rescue those people quickly.
There are three long songs and twelve village commanders. Xiao Yang has repeatedly confessed: This battle is mainly to test the enemy's skills. You must not be reluctant to fight. It is necessary for soldiers to be ready to retreat at any time. After the war, who can fight and retreat at the same time? Whoever withdraws and attracts enemy troops will have achieved great success.
Among the three songs, Zhu Shou¡¯s task is actually the most difficult.
In a battle with huge disparity in power, it is extremely easy to fight to the death. The difficult thing is to have the determination to fight to the death and the freedom to leave whenever you want.
The ability to walk freely at any time can only be entrusted to Zhu Shou when surrounded by enemy troops.
Zhu Shou, among the four music directors, is the one who has the most overall view, except Wenpin.
Let¡¯s do some tasks, prepare and arrange each song separately.
The Yellow Turban Army who were at the front finally rushed forward with a roar. At the very end was Peng Tuo's 30,000-strong army that had dragged them two miles away.
Although Peng Tuo was lagging behind. His front-line military information had been conveyed to him immediately by the cavalrymen who had just received his military orders on their horses running back and forth at high speed.
The number of officers and soldiers ambushed in front was only two thousand. This is the fourth time that the reconnaissance team has reported the same military information to Peng Tuo. Moreover, within ten miles ahead, there was no ghost of an officer or soldier.
¡°Hahahaha¡ª¡ª¡± Peng Tuo laughed wildly on horseback. He asked again: "Did you see clearly that the military flags of the officers and soldiers are flying a big flag with the word 'Xiao'?"
Peng Tuo has no memory of the general named Xiao near Yingchuan. But even if there is, Peng Tuo doesn't care.
"Two thousand officers and soldiers want to challenge my power. It's really his grandpa's ambition that makes him brave. Okay, I will kill you all today, kill, kill, kill¡ª¡ª"
He yelled the word "kill" three times fiercely, and Peng Tuo, who had been sent out of the city by Bo Cai, felt slightly relieved from the depression in his heart.
"Du Yuan, gather the cavalry. Attack the enemy in front." After Peng Tuo ordered Du Yuan, the commander of the cavalry camp, he also ordered several generals who were close to the infantry. The army was surrounded on three sides and attacked the officers and soldiers. Pounce.
In the Yellow Turban Army, Du Yuan's military position of "large village chief" was invented by Peng Tuo based on the official rank of the Han army. The two hundred cavalrymen were neither stationed nor stationed. Peng Tuo had an idea and appointed Du Yuan as the commander of the large station.
Du Yuan, the commander of the large camp, received the order. After gathering the cavalry, he took the lead. He held up his bright sword high and kept shouting loudly. He rode his horse forward and pounced on Xiao Yang's officers and soldiers.
Peng Tuo's men and all the cavalry have followed Du Yuan. Peng Tuo, who had divided his army into three parts, raised his spear a few times and ordered his 10,000 elite men to pursue them in a hurry.
