Chapter 505: Lu Xun's Might
"Report!" A long shout woke Gong Du, only to see a yellow turban horse outside the city rushing in a panic, with several arrows stuck in his body, dripping with blood, "Report to the deputy marshal, Lu Xun led tens of thousands of troops to kill!" ”
"What do you say? Pull him up! Gong Du's eyes widened in fright, and he quickly asked people to put down the hanging basket and pull the scout up.
"Deputy marshal, Lu Xun has led hundreds of thousands of troops to reach the outskirts of the city three miles away! Hurry up and give the order to defend the city, the enemy army is approaching in a flash! The scout looked blank and recalled that when he was on a mission, he led a team of 10 scouts plus 40 elite mountain kui.
Shankui can fight and carry, and the combat mode is also very flexible, such an elite scout team, even if it encounters a thousand enemy troops to chase and intercept most of them.
I didn't expect the divine soldier to descend from the sky, and a figure fell from the sky, and when he just reacted and was about to counterattack, everyone and animals were entangled in a thorny vine. It didn't take long for a group of archers to arrive, shooting at the Yellow Turban scouts who had become targets.
This scout captain thought that he was dead, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhuo to spare his life.
"Listen to your voice just now, is it from Yuzhou?" Listening to the sound of a fart, Jiang Zhuo knew that Liu Bi and Gong Du had mixed up in the border area of Yuzhou and Yangzhou before, so there was such a saying. The subordinates of the two of them are either from Yangzhou or Yuzhou.
With a one-in-half probability, in fact, the probability that this person is from Yuzhou is greater, so Jiang Zhuo guessed correctly.
"It's... Be! The scout captain endured the pain of the arrow wound on his back, and watched Jiang Zhuo swing out a shot and kill the last struggling Shankui, and the chill in his heart was even worse.
"Do you want to die or live?" Jiang Zhuo was tempted, "I can let you go, but if you come out with 50 elites and go back alone, I'm afraid Gong won't be able to get around you." ”
Rewards and punishments in the army are generally relatively clear, even in the Yellow Turban Army. Many crimes are often beheaded, and even if some generals win the battle, but the soldiers under their command lose more than 30 percent, they must be held accountable.
Gong Du's elites were already few, and this scout captain lost 50 in one go, and he would definitely be held accountable.
"Please... Please help me! This scout captain was already afraid in his heart, and when he heard Jiang Zhuo's intention to release him, his mind was just relaxed, but he was hooked by Jiang Zhuo's words.
"It's easy to save you, this county guard is the time to employ people at this time, your skills are not weak, you can go to my door. But your family should still be in Dexing County, right? ”
"Not bad... There is also a 60-year-old father and young son at home! "The scout captain is about to cry, if he doesn't go back, Gong will probably directly think that the whole team of scouts has defected, and then the families of the 11 people will suffer.
"Hey..."Jiang Zhuo looked compassionate, "You responded quickly when you were attacked, and this county guard was eager to ask for talent, so he raised his mind to recruit you." But now, for the sake of your family, it is better to fulfill your loyalty and filial piety. Don't worry, I will return the bodies of 11 of you afterwards, Gong Du sees it, and it will definitely not target your family. ”
While speaking, Jiang Zhuo stared at the little boss BOSS. His identity has reached the point where he can directly recruit the small boss boss, but the system has a hidden setting, with Jiang Zhuo's current official position, he guesses that he can still recruit about ten more boss-level subordinates.
Unless you are promoted to another official position or a higher level of prestige, it will be difficult to recruit people after reaching the hidden limit, and it is even more impossible to wait for the talents to come to the door by themselves.
"No... Lord Gunden spares his life! ”
After the defeat of the first uprising, the loyalty of the Yellow Turbans was lost. As life gets harder and harder, their loyalty becomes less and less, and begging for mercy, changing jobs, and becoming deserters happen from time to time.
Therefore, in history, Cao Cao was able to co-opt the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Zhou Cang also took refuge in Guan Yu by kidnapping Liu Bei's wife, and Liu Bi surrendered to Liu Bei when he first arrived in Xinye. The reason for this is because they lack the backbone of the heart.
Bocai can barely act as their backbone now, but when facing Liu Miao and the famous general Tai Shici, his shortcomings are also exposed, which makes people have no confidence.
"I also want to spare your life, but if you survive, your family will be slaughtered, how can I bear it?" Jiang Zhuo looked sympathetic, groaned and suddenly looked happy, "This county guard suddenly thought of a plan, maybe he can save your life." I hope you don't have to help the abuse in the future, and after you survive, you can take your family to live a good life. ”
"He... What's the strategy? Plead with the county guard for guidance! The Yellow Turban Scout Captain was relieved from his despair, and he heard Jiang Zhuo continue, "Look over there, how many soldiers and horses are there? ”
Jiang Zhuo pointed to Lu Xun's army, which was one step slower than him.
The scout captain broke out in a cold sweat just by looking at it, "There must be tens of thousands of people here!" ”
"No... More than! There are hundreds of thousands, and there are no more than 150,000 troops, no less! Jiang Zhuo looked at him with a smile, "The enemy army has countless elite soldiers and strong troops, and the troops are all over the mountains, so this team of yours is desperate to escape from you, and you have to hand over the information to the deputy commander regardless of your life." Got it? ”
Only when the enemy is strong and strong, and the total annihilation of the Scout Captain's army, can be dyed with tragedy, so as to exonerate him.
"Ming... I see! The scout captain swallowed, feeling as if he was caught up in some conspiracy, but had no other choice. I want to live, and I don't want my family to be slaughtered, that's the only way.
"Also... Dexing County is about to change hands tonight, if you can persuade some soldiers to open the door for the county guard, so that the soldiers under the county guard can reduce some casualties, I will remember your favor. Remember, the southeast corner of the city walls! Got it? ”
"Yes!" The scout captain looked at Jiang Zhuo, who had a kind face, and remembered the various rumors that the people under Jiang Zhuo's rule had a worry-free life, and his heart gradually became firm.
Letting go of the scout captain, Lu Xun walked out of the archers, "Is it credible?" ”
Jiang Zhuo shook his head, "After all, it is a possibility, when the time comes, I will use my flying mount to go up to the sky to observe whether there is an ambush in the southeast corner of the city wall." When the army enters the city, there are tens of thousands of spirit soldiers waving their flags and shouting outside the three city walls, and the benefits of encircling Sanque and one will be reflected. With Gong Du's guts, he will inevitably escape. ”
Lu Xun nodded, this was his plan. As for whether Gong will fall for the trick, it all depends on his guts. And he had dozens of times the advantage of troops, but he was forced by Lu Xun to be trapped in Dexing County, and the size of his courage was clear at a glance.
......
On the city wall, the scout captain who came back to his senses has been left behind by Gong Du. He issued an urgent order to command the army to go up to the city wall for defense.
The scout captain looked at Gong Du's back with a complicated face, gritted his teeth and turned around and went down the city wall, found the township party in the barracks who was in the same camp as him, and planned quietly.
Gong Du's repeated defeats have been unpopular, and Liu Bi's defeat by Jiang Zhuo also made his subordinates lose confidence in him. Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans are starved of food all day, and if there is a better place to go, there will be a lot of tempting among them.
Soon, Lu Xun's army was killed under the city, divided into three, and surrounded Dexing County on three sides.
"Gong Du, the Yellow Turban Army has no way out! Zhang Jiao is about to be exterminated by the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and Bocai's death is not far off! When will you wait if you don't drop at this time? ”
Lu Xun rode out of his horse, and blood-colored flames burned on his body. Seeing this unique flame, the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city immediately rioted.
