Chapter 351: The First Battle of the Yellow Turban
Just as the Taoist and Kong Gang were talking, suddenly a Yellow Turban Army general flying horse on a horse came.
The mantle was long gone, his hair scattered, his face covered with blood, and his right arm was gone. Having lost an arm, it was extremely difficult to control his balance on the horse, but he still ignored it and ran for his life.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Urgent military situation, I want to see Qu Shuai! ”
This person is an important high-level of the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army, and the confidant and favorite general of Qu Shuai Wu Ping - Xi Chang. The nearby Yellow Turban soldiers recognized their identities and avoided them one after another, fearing that they would suffer an unwarranted disaster.
"Raid Chang, what's the matter, why are you so embarrassed to let them" Seeing this, Wu Ping, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, was suddenly shocked, and with a wave of his hand, two charms shot out towards Raid Chang, and the wounds on Raid Chang's body began to heal quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his mental state was much better.
"Qu Shuai, it's not good, that dog official personally led people to kill him, and all the brothers under him have already dedicated themselves to the Holy Sect!" Raid Chang didn't have time to dismount, so he said in a loud voice.
Wu Ping's face changed and he exclaimed, "How is it possible! How could the dog officer move so quickly! ”
In fact, until now, the methods of communication in the merchant army have remained highly classified. Not to mention the latest communication stones, even the communication characters are in the stage of strict secrecy.
Originally, according to Wu Ping's estimate, Shang Ji knew the details of Xin'an, and even if he decided to send reinforcements as soon as possible, it would be at least a day later when the reinforcements arrived. However, only a few hours had passed, and Shang Ji had already arrived.
The sudden attack of the Yellow Turban Army caught Shang Ji off guard, and Shang Ji's quick response also confused Wu Ping.
"Qu Shuai, really, the more than 10,000 brothers under his command who went to ask for money were completely defeated when the forward army of the dog officer did not hold out in the next round. The brothers Yourang, Ling Qi, and Kang Xing have also unfortunately been killed, and they ask Qu Shuai to make plans early! ”
Xun Chang said tremblingly, his eyes unconsciously revealing a look of fear, obviously frightened by the combat power of the Black Armor Xuanqi.
"How many people did the dog officer bring over to that army," he said, Wu Ping's hand hidden in his cuff pinched a high-level charm printed with a mystical magic pattern.
"Black Armor Xuanqi! It's the black armor Xuanqi led by the dog official, and the number is at least tens of thousands! Raid Chang gasped.
"Humph! Count the dog officer lucky! Hearing this, Wu Ping cursed fiercely, turned around and said, "Pass the order, and all the troops will be transferred immediately!" ”
Zhang Jiao has been carefully planning the rebellion for more than ten years, and although Liaodong is not a key development area of Taiping Dao, some basic information can still be controlled.
After Shang Ji performed his duties in Liaodong, he made great moves, and the high-level figures in the Liaodong Army, Taiping Dao, not to mention, knew everything about it, and basically touched it.
Xiangping's hundreds of thousands of soldiers are also key reconnaissance targets, with a great reputation, and they can win more with less, and the black-armored Xuanqi that resists the wolf is naturally the top priority.
Although Wu Ping has now gathered 200,000 Yellow Turban Army, he knows very well what the specific combat strength of these 200,000 troops is. With an army of 200,000 people, the average combat power has not even reached the second-order level.
To deal with ordinary county soldiers, they can naturally rely on crowd tactics and fanatical spirit to defeat them, but against the black armor Xuancai, these 200,000 troops are definitely a food delivery.
In fact, as long as they are not affected by the defection, the 50,000 Liaodong Guards with a qualified commander are enough to fight against the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army.
It is precisely because of this that the premise of attacking Xiangping that Wu Ping said before is to gather tens of millions of Yellow Turban warriors. Without a massive army, Wu Ping was really not sure that he would be able to capture the giant city garrisoned by 500,000 elite soldiers.
After giving the order to evacuate, Wu Ping hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Xu Heiniu, you lead the 30,000 army to win time for the evacuation of the army!" ”
"Yes, Qu Shuai!"
A strong yellow turban soldier with a carbon-like complexion said in a deep voice.
"For the prosperity of the yellow sky!" Wu Ping looked at Xu Heiniu with a solemn face.
Knowing that this was a mission to send him to death, Xu Heiniu had no complaints, met Wu Ping's gaze, and shouted with an excited face: "For the prosperity of Huang Tian!" ”
After speaking, Xu Heiniu solemnly kowtowed to Wu Ping, and then got up and shouted: "Crazy Zhang, Liu Mazhuan, Zhang Yu, you lead the brothers of the headquarters to come with me!" ”
Immediately, three generals of the Yellow Turban Army came out of the ranks, standing behind Xu Heiniu, with a resolute face that looked at death as if they were at home.
Wu Ping didn't talk nonsense, encouraged the three of them a few words, and hurriedly began to transfer with the army.
He clearly knew what his specific strength was, no matter what, his army of 200,000 could not be the opponent of 50,000 black-armored Xuanqi.
If we want to survive, we can only give full play to the essence of "guerrilla warfare" and consume the enemy's strength in the movement, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army in Liaodong will have absolutely no chance of victory.
The 200,000-strong army was divided into two, most of them retreated with Wu Ping, and a small part went forward to block the Shang Ji under the leadership of Xu Heiniu.
On the other hand, the movements of the Taiping army were completely controlled by the merchants.
Guerrilla warfare is not as simple as imagined, and without a deep mass base, strong organizational ability, and a fast reaction speed, guerrilla warfare will evolve into a rogue rout!
In the history of the Celestial Empire for so many years, there was a Desheng Taizu, and a mere Wu Ping wanted to repeat the trajectory of Taizu, which was absolutely wishful thinking.
What's more, Shang Ji also has an absolute information advantage!
The previous Sacred Eagle was shot and killed in the battle against the company. However, after such a long search, Shang Ji later found some suitable training objects, and then according to the "Donghu Sacred Eagle Training Secret Method", the new Holy Eagle had already taken shape.
With the monitoring of Donghu Shengying, every move of the Yellow Turban Army can be seen.
"Wang Yun, give you 8,000 men and horses, and be sure to annihilate those Yellow Turban thieves who intend to intercept our army!"
"Zhou Ning and Wu Jing, each of you will lead 10,000 horses and horses to bypass from the left and right sides, and be sure to intercept the rear road of the Yellow Turban Army!"
"The last general commands!" The three shouted in unison.
"Ziyi, in a while, you will follow me and lead the army to the Yellow Turban Thief Army, be sure to leave the thief leader!"
"Ci Ling!" Tai Shi Ci said respectfully.
Shang Ji sat on top of the dragon and looked ahead, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
The combat power of the Yellow Turban Army is naturally not worth mentioning, just now the forward troops of the First World War annihilated more than 10,000 Yellow Turban Army, and the losses of the Black Armor Xuancai were negligible, almost negligible.
Let go of the fight, 50,000 black-armored Xuanqi can beat 200,000 Yellow Turban troops in a fancy way, and ensure that their own casualties will not exceed 1,000!
However, the destructive power of the Yellow Turban Army is simply too amazing, and the expansion rate of the army is too perverted.
It was only such a short period of time, and they actually pulled up an army of 200,000, although there may be a reason for the long-term planning, but this speed still surprised Shang Ji.
Dealing with the Yellow Turbans and not quickly eliminating them in the bud will only become more and more troublesome later.
Even if the Yellow Turban Army is successfully eliminated in the end, no one can say exactly how big the losses will be. In less than a day, a mid-level city of decent size was in ruins.
Let the Yellow Turban Army run rampant, or it won't be long before Liaodong will be barren. Shang Ji, who had long regarded Liaodong as his basic plate, of course did not allow this to happen, and he must annihilate the main force of the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop, especially to capture or kill the Yellow Turban leader who could rebel against the army on a large scale.
In Shang Ji's heart, his personal threat level was even higher than the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army!
