The heavens begin with the bright sword

Chapter 365 Lure the enemy to go deep
"How about it?"

Zhang Xiu rubbed her fists, looking like she wasn't having fun yet.

The [-] soldiers on the ground lay neatly on the ground.

It is neat and tidy, without any clutter, not much worse than the queue of ordinary troops.

It can be seen that Zhang Xiu's strength is indeed showing a tendency to crush, especially when he did not use the power of gods and demons, but only relied on brute force, he was able to deal with the [-] elite soldiers so easily.

"Impressed--"

The sect member pulled Lu Zhi's sleeve, and said: "Shuai Lu, if this person is a vanguard general, he will surely be able to cut down the generals and capture the flag, and take the head of the enemy general."

"This commander knows." Lu Zhi touched the beard on his chin and said in a deep voice, "But it's just about to be used on the blade. If he is only used to deal with some ordinary yellow scarf thieves, it will make Zhang Jiao vigilant in advance, or We need to find a good time. It is best to wait until Zhang Jiao personally leads the army to go out, and then use the momentum of thunder to tear a gap, maybe there is a chance to defeat it."

The main enemy army that Lu Zhi faced was the main force of the Yellow Turbans led by Zhang Jiao in Jizhou.

The bandit soldiers were very powerful. Although they repelled several small groups of enemy troops along the way, they didn't seem to have the slightest impact on the general situation, but Zhang Jiao never appeared on the front line.

There was no strong resistance along the way, except that occasionally Zhang Xiu led [-] soldiers out of the camp to race horses in the name of training, and there was no chance for him to make a move.

However, on the way to practice, I encountered a wave of more than [-] yellow turban infantry, yellow turban bandits who couldn't even hold a knife or gun. Facing the charge of [-] cavalry, there was especially one who possessed the power of gods and demons. When a fierce general takes the lead in charging, he is naturally like a mob, collapsing at the first touch, losing thousands of miles, and scattered like birds and beasts.

These two hundred soldiers, Zhang Xiu had trained them carefully and worked hard, not to mention that there were two horses per person, which was quite extravagant.

Regardless of what kind of arms they used to be, they are all all-round special forces now, riding horses, archery, and fighting with swords and guns.

A group of two hundred personal soldiers have been eliminated.

Originally, according to Lu Zhi's plan, the personal soldiers were just a decoration and did not need too much combat power, but since Zhang Xiu showed unparalleled force, Lu Zhi's attitude changed.

Zhang Xiu's requests were all given the green light, and now the entire army knows that Lu Shuai has formed an elite force, specially for the purpose of taking Zhang Jiao's dog's head, and sharpened their heads one by one to go to Lu Zhi's personal army crowded.

Now it's just a small test, and they have defeated ten times the enemy. Although it is expected, it is still very exciting.

Morale is available.

In the credit book, Zhang Xiu was also credited.

In order to rebel, Zhang Jiao made a careful plan, and he started planning more than ten years ago, even earlier in his life. During this period, he recruited more than one hundred thousand believers in the name of Taiping Dao The masses spread all over the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan.

And based on this, 36 troops were organized respectively. The larger ones have 7000 or tens of thousands of people, and the smaller ones have 36 people, with a total of more than [-]. The leader is called Qu Shuai. The number of soldiers and horses under his command is also known as "Daqu Shuai" and "Little Qu Shuai".

The imperial court's response was already slow, but once the state machine was operating towards a goal, it twisted up and down into one force, temporarily putting aside the inherent contradictions in the weekdays, and when it was unanimous to the outside world, the power displayed was still the same. Very majestic and impressive.

In addition to strengthening the defense of the surrounding areas of Luoyang, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, under the letter of Huangfusong and others, lifted the party, pardoned the party members, and eased the internal conflicts of the ruling class. After all, eunuchs cannot fight such things as wars.

Not only that, but the imperial court also issued an order that all localities can organize village bravery to fight against bandits. The original intention was to call on people to defend their homes and the country independently, and it was true at first, but it gradually changed, which also paved the way for the split of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Hidden danger.

With this order, powerful landlords from all over the country naturally took the opportunity to raise troops one after another to cooperate with the government and army to suppress the uprising, and there were many familiar figures among them.

On the way of marching, the battle reports from all over the place flew onto his commander-in-chief like snowflakes. Because the Eastern Han Dynasty had not fought for a long time, the garrison soldiers everywhere were naturally slack, and they also underestimated the Yellow Turban Bandits.

Although my side is making good progress, it seems to be winning steadily, but the results are not great. I want to seek a decisive battle in the wild, but Zhang Jiao seems unwilling to decide the victory with him prematurely.

The other soldiers and horses also have their own troubles.The main force of the Yellow Turban Army was scattered in Julu, Yingchuan, Nanyang and other places. They fought on their own, captured cities, burned government offices, and swept away the powerful landlord Wubao, and achieved great victories.

The Nanyang Yellow Turban led by Zhang Mancheng conquered the county and killed the prefect Chu Gong; the Yingchuan Yellow Turban led by Bocai defeated You Zhonglang Zhu Jun; and Zuo Zhonglang besieged Huangfusong in Changshe; Runan Yellow Turban defeated the prefect Zhao Qian; Guangyang Yellow Turban killed Guo Xun, governor of Youzhou, and Liu Wei, prefect.
After seeing these battle reports, Lu Zhi really couldn't lift his spirits, and Zhang Jiao seemed to have other plans while sending a small group of troops to delay his progress.
Zhang Jiao is from Julu, Jizhou, which is considered the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Zhang Jiao raised troops in Wei County." Lu Zhi clicked on the direction of Wei County on the map, and then continued: "In addition to Wei County, Anping County and Qinghe County in the northeast of Wei County all echo Zhang Jiao. This Yellow Turban force It is very strong, and even poses a certain threat to Luoyang. The defeat of Yingchuan, Changshe and other troops may arouse the arrogance of the bandits."

Having said that, Lu Zhi looked at Zhang Xiu and asked, "Zisheng, what do you think?"

"Judging from initial contacts, although these Yellow Turbans are powerful and numerous, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turbans they came into contact with along the way is very limited. It should be that they did not conduct enough training before the incident. We were driven away all the way because of the lack of physical equipment.”

"Generally speaking, the combat power is very weak, which may be the reason why their main force has shrunk." Seeing no objection, Zhang Xiu went on to say: "The yellow turbans attacked quickly at the beginning, and most of them caught the defenses of the counties and counties by surprise. It is understandable that the upper city has its internal support, which will lead to the fall of the city. These are understandable. The two armies of Yingchuan and Changshe are the elite troops led by General Huangfu and General Zhu. There are more than [-] in total. The two generals Each lead a separate army, and if they encounter a large group of Yellow Turban troops swarming up, it is inevitable that they will lose the first battle."

"As for Zhang Jiao." Zhang Xiu pointed to a location on the map and said, "Shuai Lu, if the last general's guess is correct, he should want to come up with a plan to lure the enemy in."
