55.Chapter 55
The weather began to get very hot in June, and after the battle book was issued, the Yellow Turban Army lined up in a neat line outside the city, silently watching the county seat of Dong'e.
"Crunch! Crunch! ”
A piercing sound sounded, and the gate of Dong'e County opened, only to see 500 officers and soldiers lined up in two teams and walked out of the city.
These five hundred people are all strong men, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands are quite fine.
Wang Yan looked at the posture of the officers and soldiers, and knew that Chen Xu agreed to his proposal, and his face couldn't help but show joy. He lined up the crowd and asked the others not to follow, so he stepped forward alone and met Chen Xu.
The commanders of the two armies were far apart, and for a long time, Chen Xu suddenly said loudly: "The Yellow Turban Army rebelled against the imperial court and confused the world. ”
Wang Yan was stunned by what Chen Xu said, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while. The Yellow Turban Army under his command was also furious when they heard this, and they scolded angrily in the formation with red faces and red ears. If it weren't for the military order, I'm afraid I would have to step forward and fight with Chen Xu.
Most of them are followers of the Taiping Sect, and they are convinced that 'the heavens are dead, and the yellow heavens should stand'. all thought that the strength of the Han was exhausted, so they followed the great sage and good teacher to unveil the rod.
Now Chen Xu actually said that they are going against the sky and will be punished by heaven, how can these people give up?
Wang Yan came back to his senses, and his face was not good-looking. He knew what Chen Xu meant, this was to mess with the military heart of the Yellow Turban Army!
"Chen Wenzhao, the two armies are facing each other, we are waiting to divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield, there is no need to speak falsely and make people laugh!"
Wang Yan's voice was also very loud, and the officers and soldiers of the two armies all heard what he said.
Chen Xu waved the spear in his hand, suddenly laughed, and then said: "A certain is not a lie, if you obey the will of heaven and surrender to us, you can live; If you are obsessed and insist on going against the sky, you will be punished by heaven! ”
The words rumbled, coupled with Chen Xu's sworn appearance, the officers and men of the two armies couldn't guess Chen Xu's intentions, and they were a little puzzled.
Wang Yan's face sank, and he said sharply: "I respect you as a hero, so I want to fight a gentleman's battle with you." If you talk nonsense and insult my Yellow Turban Army, even if I don't mind, my Yellow Turban soldiers will not agree! ”
Wang Yan pulled out his saber and pointed at the Yellow Turban Army behind him.
Seeing this, the Yellow Turban Army all stepped on the ground with their right feet, raised the weapons in their hands, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
The sound was loud and deafening, and when the officers and men heard the roar of the Yellow Turban Army, their faces suddenly changed drastically, revealing fear.
Standing on the city wall, Dong A Haoqiang and big families also have weak legs.
At this time, these people actually began to regret it. At first, they always thought that the Yellow Turban Army relied on the strength of the number of people to temporarily avoid the edge, so they forced Chen Xu to send troops to meet the battle.
Now that the morale of the Yellow Turban Army is so high, how can officers and soldiers be their opponents? If the army is defeated, won't Dong'a be occupied by the Yellow Turban Army again?
After regretting it, they looked at Chen Xu outside the city even more unkindly. If it weren't for Chen Xu talking nonsense in front of the battle, how could he provoke the Yellow Turban Army to do this?
Chen Xu, who was in front of the battle, was not only not frightened by the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army, but had a smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, a dozen carts came out of the city, loaded with water and food.
The soldiers on both sides did not understand what they meant, and they cast their puzzled eyes on Chen Xu.
When the cart carrying food and water came to the front of the battle, Chen Xu said loudly: "What a certain party just said is really a heartfelt word, and if you don't believe it, you don't dare to force it." However, the soldiers selected from the two armies are all brave and extraordinary. ”
"If you are a strong man, how can you be treated badly?"
Speaking of this, Chen Xu suddenly stretched out his arms and shouted loudly: "Ruo'er and others believe me Chen Xu, as long as it is a soldier who participates in the battle this time, regardless of whether he is the enemy or me, he can take all the food and water in the car." ”
As soon as Chen Xu's words fell, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, making everyone present feel overwhelmed and at a loss.
The 500 officers and soldiers who were selected have always been convinced of Chen Xu. Although they have food in the barracks, it is difficult for them to eat meat, and now there is not a small amount of meat on the car. There was a slight commotion, and someone stepped forward to pick up the food and water in the car and began to eat and drink.
Seeing that someone was moving, the rest of the officers and soldiers also said loudly: "How can the general harm us and others?" Since this food is given to us, we will eat it. ”
The officers and men did not hesitate any longer, and all stepped forward to grab food and water.
Wang Yan frowned, puzzled. Seeing the appearance of the officers and soldiers, he didn't want to think too much. He believed in Chen Xu as a human being, and knew that he would never do anything with this food and water.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Yan said, "Since General Chen has been warmly invited, how can we be gratifying?" Wait until you come forward, bring half of the food and water, and then go to battle after eating! ”
Those Yellow Turban soldiers who were preparing to participate in the war, although they didn't believe Chen Xu, but since their own master general had already spoken, they would not disobey.
Besides, they did not have a good time during this time, although they were much better than when they were homeless, but they were almost only half-full at every meal, and meat was rarely eaten.
In today's battle, I don't know how many people will survive, and if you have a full meal, it is better to be a full ghost than to be a starving ghost.
As a result, there was a very strange scene on the battlefield, where the officers and soldiers who were originally inseparable and the Yellow Turban Army were actually eating and drinking together.
This kind of thing sounds incredible, but it happens. In fact, in history, even more incredible things have happened.
In the post-Three Kingdoms period, Yanghu sat in Xiangyang and supervised the military of Jingzhou. He was faithful to his enemies, and through decades of Huai Rou policy, many of the Eastern Wu generals who had received his favor surrendered one after another.
Lu Kang, the general of Eastern Wu, knew Yanghu's intentions, so he said to his subordinates: "Yanghu is dedicated to touching people with virtue, if we only use violence to invade, then we will be conquered without a fight." We only keep the borders, and don't fight for small profits. ”
Later, after he fell ill, when Yanghu heard about it, he immediately sent someone to send the medicine over, and asked someone to pass the word: "This is the medicine I prepared for myself, and I haven't had time to use it yet, I heard that you are sick, so I will send the medicine to you." ”
Many generals of Eastern Wu were not worried about the medicine sent by Yanghu, but Lu Kang did not hesitate and took the medicine directly, and then the illness was really cured.
Wang Yan secretly watched all the movements on the battlefield, although he knew that Chen Xu would not manipulate food. But he also knew that Chen Xu would not do these things for no reason. After thinking about it, he thought that Chen Xu wanted to break the fighting spirit of the Yellow Turban Army.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, Chen Xu sent people to pack up the things in front of the battle, looked at the sky, and then asked the selected 500 officers and soldiers to line up and said to them: "The Yellow Turban Army will be punished by heaven if it goes against the sky." ”
"You are the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, blessed by heaven and earth. In this battle, before the battle, you should shout loudly, 'God bless the man, Thor help me'. In this way, there is a thunder god to thunder, cheering for you! ”
Chen Xu's voice was so loud that both sides heard it, but no one believed Chen Xu's words, not even Chen Jing standing on the city wall.
Seeing that the soldiers were very puzzled, Chen Xu's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: "The battle shouted 'God bless the man, Thunder God help me', this is a military order, do you know?" ”
When they heard the word military order, the soldiers' hearts sank. Chen Xu was extremely strict in governing the army, and no one dared to disobey the military order when the soldiers heard it.
"I'll take my orders!"
Seeing Chen Xu's murderous face, the five hundred soldiers knew that the main general was not joking, and shouted in unison.
The Yellow Turban soldiers looked at the clear sky, felt the sultry heat, and didn't believe what Chen Xu said at all. Wang Yan was the only one, and he didn't feel anything, and he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
He didn't want to continue to delay time, and shouted at Chen Xu: "Now that the soldiers on both sides have finished eating and drinking, can we start a war?" ”
Chen Xu secretly looked at the sky and said loudly: "Go to war!" ”
The war drums rumbled, and the well-fed soldiers of both sides rushed towards each other with shouts. It's just that one side shouted 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand', and the other side shouted 'God bless the man, the thunder god help me'.
It is a bit funny that the two sides are fighting like this, and for the officers and soldiers, there is even some child's play.
The battle is endless, and the slogans are endless. This is the military order issued by Chen Xu to 500 officers and soldiers.
However, as the fighting became longer and longer, the officers and soldiers slowly gained the upper hand. This slogan actually became a topic of ridicule for the Yellow Turban Army.
The battle continued, and more than a hundred officers and soldiers had fallen, and compared to the Yellow Turban Army, they lacked a momentum that was not afraid of death. Their shouts are getting quieter and their morale is getting lower and lower, and it won't be long before the remaining officers and soldiers may collapse.
Both sides were watching the battlefield closely, and the smiles on Wang Yan's faces became more and more. As long as the Yellow Turbans fight for a moment longer, victory will be within reach.
Suddenly, Chen Xu drew his spear, rushed to the battlefield on horseback, and then pointed his gun at the sky, shouting loudly: "God bless the man, Thunder God help me!" ”
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck, and thunder rang out.
"Boom!"
The thunder grew louder and louder, and there was a sudden silence on the battlefield.
After the silence, the faces of the officers and soldiers erupted with fanatical expressions, shouting to kill the overwhelmed Yellow Turban soldiers......
