Chapter 200: Rainy Days and Flood Season
Let's say that Zhang Ning got Guo Jia's advice, and sent someone to pass the news to Zhang Bao in Julu City overnight.
She is the saintess of the Yellow Turban Road, and although she has left the Yellow Turban Army, she still has some channels.
Zhang Bao paid for his own death, and suddenly got Zhang Ning's summons, and he was overjoyed.
Zhang Ning didn't say anything about his situation in the news, but vaguely said that he had a way to make the officers and soldiers suffer a big loss. In addition, he also told him that Zhang Yan of Taihang Mountain had led an army of 100,000 out of Changshan. Their destination is also a giant deer, which is to relieve Zhang Bao, but Zhang Bao must cooperate.
Zhang Bao naturally did not refuse.
Although he doesn't have a good impression of this niece, it is also an internal problem of the Yellow Turban Dao, and it is still unanimous to the outside world at the moment.
With Zhang Ning's summons, Zhang Bao also became energetic, and the Yellow Turban soldiers in the entire Julu City also gained confidence.
For they have also received the message that the Holy Maiden will soon lead an army of 100,000 to reinforce them.
……
Checkmate!
Yan Liang was draped all over his body, and came to Yuan Shao with a big knife in his hand.
"The cavalry is assembled!"
He was originally an official in Nanpi County, Hebei, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion was dispersed. Later, when Yuan Shao convened the troops, he brought his subordinates to take refuge, and became Yuan Shao's confidant and favorite general with his outstanding martial arts.
Checkmate!
Wen Chou's tall figure also came in front of Yuan Shao.
"The infantry is assembled!"
He and Yan Liang are fellow villagers and righteous brothers, and they took refuge with Yuan Shao after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Now, he has also become the commander of Yuan Shao's army.
Very good!
Yuan Shao looked at the 30,000 majestic men and horses and nodded with satisfaction.
As a member of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shao's family is illustrious and famous, and he is very supported by heroes from all walks of life.
After the official worships the captain, Yuan Shao is about to send troops to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief, how can he not have a team as a member of the Yuan family?
With the financial resources of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao was quickly armed with a private army.
Yan Liangwen Chou also took refuge at this time.
In those days, it was normal for dignitaries to have private soldiers.
Now Yuan Shao has replaced Huangfu Song as the commander of the army, and this private soldier has rightly become an officer and soldier.
His subordinates also became generals in the official army.
"Soldiers, Guo Jia, as a court official, has ill intentions, and he is really a chaotic minister and thief. This general should respond to the will of the imperial court and the heart of the soldiers. Lead the army to crusade against this rebellious minister and thief, and hope that everyone will move forward bravely. ”
As he spoke, Yuan Shao pulled out his sword and shouted.
The officers and troops will win!
Everyone raised their weapons in unison and shouted: "The officers and troops will win!" ”
"Those who capture Guo Jia alive will be rewarded with 10,000 gold, and the official will be promoted to the third level."
"Those who kill Guo Jia will be rewarded with 5,000 gold, and the official will be promoted to two levels!"
"Those who capture the important leaders of Guo Jia's subordinates will be rewarded with 2,000 gold, and the official will be promoted to one level!"
Runan's Yuan family is wealthy.
This promise mobilized the enthusiasm of 30,000 officers and men.
Of course, these promises were also easy for the Runan Yuan family.
"Kill Guo Jia, get promoted and make a fortune!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Why did they come to the barn?
It's not for the lofty reason of defending the country and protecting the people.
Their purpose in becoming a soldier is actually very simple, that is, to fill their stomachs and earn some money to gain fame by the way.
Now's your chance!
General Yuan spoke, as long as he could kill Guo Jia, or capture the important leaders of his subordinates, he would have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.
Kill Guo Jia and get promoted to make a fortune!
The crowd roared in unison again, and the sound resounded through the field.
Very good!
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and his gaze suddenly fell on a scribe beside him.
"Sir, in this battle, Yuan will rely on you."
General Yuan is polite!
The scribe was masked in a black scarf and dressed in a very strange way.
"It is the duty of the country to eliminate rebellion. Watching the sky at night, there will be heavy rain in the near future, Guo Jia's strange skills are powerful, but he is afraid of water. Once it hits a rainy day, it loses its effectiveness. ”
Good!
Yuan Shao laughed out loud and said, "Now, let's go!" ”
He also heard of Cao Cao's defeat.
Now fighting on a rainy day has given him more confidence.
So, the army galloped towards Wuji County.
……
Yuan Shao sent troops?
There were 5,000 cavalry, 25,000 infantry, and countless baggage.
After hearing the news, Guo Jia stood up in surprise.
This gentleman!
With only 30,000 people, does he really dare to fight Wuji County?
Didn't you see Cao Apu as a lesson from the past?
It's hopeless.
Very good!
Guo Jia nodded.
Yuan Shao is also the overlord of the party in the future, and with this guy's background and prestige, he will definitely become Guo Jia's opponent.
Now that he has personally sent it to the door, how can Guo Jiayou let it go so easily?
"Someone, quickly send a message to Lu Nu's Xi Zhong and ask him to transport the crockpot bomb over."
Guo Jia said excitedly.
With crockpot bombs and artillery in hand, no matter how many people Yuan Shao came, it would be in vain.
After all, gunpowder is not something that cold weapons can resist.
In the last battle, Guo Jia captured five large stone throwers, which he had transformed into heavy artillery.
There happened to be two of them in Wuji County, and a lot of cluster crockpot bombs had been prepared, and he had long wanted to try the power of heavy artillery.
Now that Yuan Shao has sent it to the door, it is an excellent opportunity, and this time he will definitely let Yuan Shao go around without eating.
"Someone, send a message quickly, and order the Broken Army stationed in Wuji Fort to come to Wuji County for reinforcements."
In order to avoid accidents, Guo Jia mobilized his ace infantry, the Broken Army.
Yu Ban was training the new army, so Guo Jia didn't interrupt his process, but just transferred two thousand broken soldiers.
The Broken Capture Army has been formed under Yu Ban's training, and even if there is no command from Yu Ban, it can carry out offensive and defensive procedures step by step.
transferred the Broken Army to Wuji County, and Guo Jia's heart was put down.
Today, Wuji County has 8,000 troops, including Zhao Yun's 4,000 cavalry, even against Yuan Shao's 30,000 army.
Just as Guo Jia was thinking about how to completely annihilate Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, the frustration outside suddenly came with illness.
"My lord, it's not good. The flood season is coming. ”
Flood season!
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, puzzled, what is the flood season?
A native of Jizhou, he is very familiar with the geography and hydrology here, and immediately explained: "The Hutuo River is the largest water system at the junction of Zhongshan and Julu County. In the summer, there will be a lot of flooding, and the subordinates will watch the sky at night and find that it will be cloudy and rainy in the near future. Beware of the flooding of the Hutuo River! ”
Floods, rainy days!
Guo Jia's heart sank suddenly, and he immediately realized a problem.
If Yuan Shao launched an attack on a rainy day, his gunpowder would be useless.
Yuan Shao came with a hundred times more confidence, is it because he has this reliance?
The more Guo Jia thought about it, the more this happened, and his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom.
If that's the case, it's going to be a tough one.
