Chapter 121: Crazy Yellow Turban
"The Yellow Turban is about to launch a very violent attack, this is a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions, we must be deeply involved, and we must hurry up and prepare for these days." Zhang Yu first revealed heavy news to several generals and asked them to be prepared.
Several people didn't ask why Zhang Yu knew, nor did they ask why Zhang Yu was put back.
Shocked, Zhang Yu began to make specific arrangements.
"Go out hunting, the task of fighting the Yellow Turbans The infantry is suspended, and the cavalry is in a group of 1,000 people, and the hunt continues, but the target must be selective."
"In addition to training, infantry needs to prepare all kinds of consumables, and arrows should also be prepared..."
Zhang Yu arranged the battle first.
"Lord, why should we get involved in the big battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, the losses will be too great at that time." Ling Cao said.
Their army is different from the army of the official army, which is raised by the imperial court, while their army is raised by themselves.
Zhang Yu knew that they couldn't understand, so he said: "We want to develop, preserving strength is a way, and letting the army go through the test of blood and fire is also a way, in addition, we also need combat merits, not only I need it, you all need it." ”
If you want to retain talents, you must give them good treatment, although they will not necessarily betray Zhang Yu because of this, but they must also work hard to help them for welfare, so that they can all glorify their ancestors.
The ancients had a very deep idea of glorifying their ancestors, not to mention the ancients, and modern people also have a particularly strong mentality.
Give them a few official positions in the imperial court, not only will it be convenient for them to act in the future, they can also glorify their ancestors, and more importantly, there will be more people who are willing to join Zhang Yu.
Sure enough, several people were very excited after understanding what Zhang Yu meant.
Even Huang Zhong's heart was not calm.
Although Huang Zhong is an official, he is a very small official, and Zhang Yu can do this for his subordinates, which is indeed worth following.
Then Zhang Yu told him about his cooperation with Zhang Jiao.
The few people present, loyalty is not a problem, even if Huang Zhong is not his subordinate, Zhang Yu did not shy away from it.
"Lord, this horn is really going crazy, in order to reduce food consumption, he wants to let hundreds of thousands of troops die in vain." After listening to Zhang Jiao's plan, Ling Cao couldn't help but take a big breath and said.
"From Zhang Jiao's point of view, this is nothing, he can not only consume his own troops, but also take the opportunity to consume part of the officers and soldiers, and he can also give himself enough time."
The others, Dian Wei was a little excited, as long as he had a battle to fight, he wouldn't think so much.
And Zhou Cang was at a loss, because the yellow scarf he used to play for was like this.
Huang Zhong is much calmer, he is the oldest here, and he has seen more of the world.
After assigning tasks, each went to work.
Zhang Yu is also not idle, and many things have to be coordinated by himself, because Zhang Yu can't let ordinary soldiers know too much.
"It is necessary to build a logistics base close to the battlefield." Zhang Yu thought of Xi Zhicai, and wanted to transfer Xi Zhicai to his side, at least closer, and let him help take care of the logistics.
Just do it, Zhang Yu found many places around Guangzong, and finally confirmed that a small town more than thirty miles outside Guangzong City would be used as a logistics base, and let Xi Zhicai bring people over.
Speaking of Zhang Jiao's side, after three days of preparation, Zhang Jiao also began to arrange.
Three days after Zhang Yu left the city, Zhang Jiao finally launched an attack.
At the beginning, an army of 100,000 was dispatched, of which 80,000 were these yellow turbans who had not undergone much training, and the other 20,000 were the elites led by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang personally.
These elites have two functions, one is to stabilize the morale of the army, if they are one-sided, then these yellow scarves will be easily slaughtered and have little value.
The second is to prepare for a sneak attack on the officers and soldiers, once the officers and troops cannot support it, there is a gap, or a light enemy, they can hide in one of them and attack suddenly.
"Kill."
"Rush."
Suddenly, the four gates of Guangzong City opened, and an army of 100,000 poured out.
The officers and soldiers, who had been paying close attention, were greatly alarmed, and hurriedly mobilized all their troops, strengthened the camp, and prepared for the enemy's attack.
The yellow scarf came very suddenly, and Huangfu Song was completely unprepared.
However, fortunately, Huangfu Song ruled the army very strictly, and even if there was no war, the defense of the camp was also very good.
"General Huangfu, are these yellow turbans crazy?" A general said after seeing the Yellow Turban's offensive.
"Look at them, they don't want to die at all, they rush directly to the gate of the camp and let us kill." Another general who was watching the battle said.
"I just observed that about ten yellow scarves were exchanged for one of our soldiers, and they were willing to do this."
Several generals were watching the battle, and Huangfu Song kept a calm face, without joy or sorrow.
Huangfu Song didn't know the Yellow Turban's intentions, so he never made a decision.
After the yellow scarves left the city, they began to attack frantically, and at first the officers and soldiers were not adapted to this style of play and suffered a big loss.
"It's not good, you immediately split up and give orders, ordering the soldiers to hold the camp tightly, and focus on defense, this is the Yellow Turban using these people who don't have much combat effectiveness to consume our troops, and finally use elite soldiers to fight a decisive battle with us."
Half an hour later, Huangfu Song finally gave the first order.
Several generals around him immediately split up to carry out the order.
Zhang Yu also arrived on a hillside and looked at the battlefield from a distance.
"Lord, why don't we kill the past, sneak attack from the side, we can, we can kill the yellow scarves all the way." Dian Wei said.
Indeed, at this time, the Yellow Turban had already fought with the official army, these were all recruits, some had only trained for a few days, if Zhang Yu sneaked up like last time, he would definitely be able to hit the Yellow Turban hard.
But Zhang Yu didn't want to do this, so he couldn't reflect his value.
When they are tired of fighting with the official army, or Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's army is also put into the battlefield, they will kill themselves when the time comes.
Only the officers and soldiers who have been badly damaged can show the value of Zhang Yu.
This is not only for merit, but also for the initiative in the later plans, Zhang Yu does not want Huangfu Song to completely dominate the battlefield, at least he has to take a lot of weight.
And when that time comes, Zhang Yu can also reduce losses.
The battle lasted for two hours, during which the yellow turbans had a crazy impact, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who were hidden inside, found an opportunity to sneak attack, and severely damaged the officers and soldiers to block them back at a relatively large price.
"It's time for the whole army to attack and eat all the way of the enemy."
Seeing that the Yellow Turban was exhausted, the offensive was weakened, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's army were also involved, Zhang Yu chose this time to attack.
Three thousand cavalry were in front, and about six thousand infantry were in the rear.
Zhang Yu left Ling Cao to command the infantry, while he, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang directly led the cavalry to rush forward.
"Chisel through the middle, surrounded by infantry." Zhang Yu shouted, the overlord halberd had already attacked.
This arrangement is to completely eat the yellow scarf all the way.
