Chapter 116: The Villain Makes Trouble

As soon as Man Pet left, Mao Jie walked in happily again.

He was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and the surprise on his face was indescribable.

"My lord, the battlefield has been counted. This time we captured 2,000 horses, cattle, sheep, grain, cloth, and a large quantity of weapons and armor. ”

Zhang Niujiao is a good person, and when the whole army pressed up, he did not forget to leave 20,000 rear troops, food, baggage, horses and everything in the rear army.

There was a sound under the city of Lunu, the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army was finished, and the 20,000 rear army also became frightened birds, fleeing all over the mountains and fields.

Zhao Yun and Xu Huang's two thousand cavalry annihilated these people without much effort, and the food and baggage were brought back intact.

Zhang Niujiao led the Yellow Turban Army to sweep through Youzhou, killing officials and robbing the warehouse of Guangyang County, and all the belongings have now fallen into Guo Jia's hands.

This is a lot of wealth, and even a steady person like Mao Jie's face is smiling.

Very good!

Guo Jia nodded with a smile.

During this time, he was worried about military supplies or something, and he didn't think that he would send it to the door.

The rest is just that, these two thousand horses are indeed a good thing.

The era of cold weapons is the world of riding crossbows.

With these two thousand war horses, Guo Jia can form two thousand-person teams again.

In this way, there were as many as 4,000 cavalry under Guo Jia.

"Komeito!"

Guo Jia's gaze suddenly fell on Xu Huang on the side.

Lord!

Xu Huang hugged his fists.

"I'll leave the matter of these two thousand horses and recruiting soldiers to you, and in half a year, I hope you can train these cavalry."

Promise!

Xu Huang hugged his fists.

Although he was not as good as Zhao Yun in the charge, his ability to command troops was very good, and after his training, the new cavalry was quickly formed.

Cavalry is a big killer in the era of cold weapons.

This time to annihilate the Yellow Turban Army, although Guo Jia killed 80,000 people in one fell swoop, it consumed thousands of catties of black powder.

The last 20,000 people were really wiped out by Zhao Yun and Xu Huang's cavalry.

When the cavalry kills the infantry, that is a massacre.

On the battlefield, cavalry is definitely a powerful class.

Of course, cavalry is also a money-burning thing, and it is also a large expense for people to eat horses and chew horses. Training a qualified cavalryman is not a simple matter.

Even Zhongshan can't afford to raise a large-scale cavalry, and adding 2,000 cavalry is already the limit.

Four thousand cavalry, for the time being, is enough, no matter how much there is, there is no need.

There is cavalry, and there are enough infantry, and then Guo Jia has to add a new class, that is, artillery.

The reason why the Yellow Turban Army was able to be annihilated this time was due to the contribution of black powder.

But given the current level of science and technology, the only weapons that Guo Jia can make with black powder are crockpot mines and incendiary bombs.

Crockpot mines can only be buried in the ground, and the attack range is limited, which has great drawbacks.

For example, ignition problems, such as burial problems.

Once there is an accident, it will become a dumb mine, and it will delay a lot of things.

Guo Jia planned to build a crockpot bomb that could be projectile around the clock, and like the previous incendiary bombs, it would be fired with a modified catapult to increase its range.

Aim, launch, ignition, and safety are all very technical.

It has to be done by someone on duty.

So, Guo Jia planned to build a primitive artillery unit. This unit can use a trebuchet to fire crockpot bombs to provide fire to the infantry.

In fact, as early as the advent of the black powder mine, Guo Jia selected dozens of nimble soldiers from the Tiger Guards and trained them to use a stone thrower to fire incendiary bombs.

After a period of practice, these people also operate similarly, and they can already be regarded as the oldest artillerymen.

Once formed, it will become the trump card in Guo Jia's hands.

Without further ado, Guo Jia immediately ordered people to select loyal and dexterous men to be incorporated into the artillery unit.

Perhaps this is the earliest artillery unit in history.

……

Within a few days, the news of Guo Jia's annihilation of 100,000 Yellow Turban troops quickly reached the ears of Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou.

What the?

Han Fu almost fell out of bed.

Zhang Niujiao bypassed Zhuojun and Qinghe to attack Zhongshan, which relieved the guy.

Whether it is Zhang Niujiao or Guo Jia, they are all people who are quick to get rid of him.

In his heart, it is better for both sides to fight and lose both, and to die together.

However, Han Fu also knew in his heart that it was impossible.

Guo Jia couldn't stop Zhang Niujiao's 100,000 army at all, and it was only a matter of time before Zhongshan fell.

It's just that what Han Fu didn't expect was that Guo Jia only took one day to annihilate the 100,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army.

How is this possible?

"Lord Thorn Shi, this is true. At this moment, the original order has been restored in Zhongshan, and people are spreading the word of mouth. It is said that on the day of the decisive battle, a god general with gold armor and silver hammer stood on top of the city, hammered down, and killed 80,000 Yellow Turban soldiers. ”

One of his subordinates said excitedly.

Gold armor and silver hammer god general?

Kill 80,000 people with one hammer?

Han Fu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.

There are people who believe such clumsy lies. Hahahaha, aren't the Zhang Jiao brothers also known as the ghostwriters of the gods in the yellow sky in the world? Isn't it also surrounded by the military horses of the imperial court in Guangzong at this moment? ”

His face suddenly turned cold.

"Guo Jia is a thief shouting to catch a thief, making up lies, and deceiving the court. It is truly an unforgivable sin. Come on, prepare paper and pen, and the official will participate in his book fiercely. ”

During this time, the war situation in Jizhou changed again.

Lu Zhi led his army to attack the Yellow Turban Army and began to suffer several defeats, but quickly adjusted. Then a triumphant song was played, and the yellow turban thief who beat him had no power to fight back.

Lu Zhi's 50,000 army compressed Zhang Jiao's 100,000 army in Guangzong City.

The balance of victory had already tilted in favor of the imperial court, so Han Fu was a little arrogant again, and he didn't remember the incident of running away from the desert at all.

This guy is a small-bellied chicken intestine.

He hasn't forgotten what happened last time, and it's so easy to get the opportunity, how can he let it go.

"Lord Thorn Shi!"

The subordinates on the side hurriedly said: "Whether the battle situation is true or not. Guo Jiadu blocked the Yellow Turban Army from Youzhou. bought time for the imperial court to annihilate the Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou, which is a great achievement. ”

He couldn't look at it.

Great work!

Han Fu sneered and said, "Do you know that it's not a farce directed and acted by Guo Jia?" Maybe Zhang Niujiao is himself? Besides, he killed the governor of the Assassin's Mansion, which was already a rebellion. ”

Thorn History!

The man wanted to say something.

Han Fu said impatiently: "Enough, you can go out." ”

The man sighed again and shook his head.

He was completely disappointed in Han Fu.

At present, the yellow turbans are raging and the people are struggling to make a living, and it is time for everyone to work together to fight the yellow scarves.

The stabbing master has a small belly and chicken intestines, and conceives to frame Guo Jia, a hero.

Guo Jia!

The man's eyes flashed and he said to himself, "What kind of person are you?" How did you destroy 100,000 yellow turbans in one fell swoop? ”
