Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 35: Take the initiative

"Proactively attack?"

Liu Ye nodded, confident.

"Yes, I am about to take the initiative."

Among the county offices, Liu Ye was in the middle, and the two rows of officers were separated from each other. All of them were Liu Ye's cronies, but most people were surprised when they heard Liu Ye's words.

Brother Liu is indeed brave, but the three thousand new troops under his command can never be brave. What's more, now that the Yellow Turban thieves are attacking counties and counties, even Jinan City has been captured, and the state minister fled in panic like a mourning dog. Now that there is a lot of wolf smoke in Jinan, we should keep this one-third of acre of land. Why are we going to provoke the Yellow Scarf?

Although the Yellow Turbans have won several times in the past, the people in Licheng are all small and wealthy. A few victories can turn a recruit into a veteran, but they cannot turn a recruit into a strong or good soldier.

What is a real elite soldier? Strong fighting spirit, advancing and retreating at orders. That's how Cao Cao attacked Wuchao's army back then. He faced Wuchao's 10,000 defenders head-on, and behind him were chasers from Guandu camp. As a result, Cao Jun defeated Wuchao's defenders in a battle and turned around to destroy the Guandu reinforcements.

Liu Ye subconsciously glanced at Yu Jin on the left hand side, secretly saying in his heart that he deserves to be the five good generals. After hearing Liu Ye's order to take the initiative to attack, Yu Jin not only did not change his face, but was high-spirited, with the heroic spirit of swallowing tens of thousands of thieves.

Liu Ye deliberately introduced Yu Jin to his subordinates, so he immediately said: "Wenze, you can tell everyone why a certain person wants to take the initiative to break the thief out of the city."

Yu Jindao shouted "Hey", strode out to face the generals, and talked freely: "Now the Yellow Turban thieves are ravaging Jinan's Guoshu counties. My Licheng is now in the midst of a group of thieves. According to the sentry, the Yellow Turban thieves have already blocked the official road. Now that the news is impenetrable, the calendar city has become an enclave. In this way, even if the thief army does not attack me, it will only besiege instead of attacking, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the spring ploughing. By then, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians will have no food to eat and will collapse without fighting."

"Our army went the other way, attacking the Yellow Turbans with three thousand new troops: first, to raise the war, plunder the Yellow Turbans' army and equipment, and second, to break the blockade of the thief army, so that Licheng and other cities can communicate with each other. In the past three years, they can kill thieves and make meritorious deeds. Now the court has sent Huangfu, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and Zhu Zhonglang to break thieves. After the rebellion, the court will have a reward.

Liu Ye was overjoyed. Although Yu Jin is far from growing to where he was later, his analysis has been quite structured, and being able to get such a good general at this time really made up for his shortcomings of not being good at leading troops.

Liu Ye had won several previous battles, relying on surprises with the Tianzong Shenwu. If he encountered the elite Yellow Turban thieves in a battle, Yu Jin would undoubtedly be a more qualified commander than himself.

"Okay, I have decided! Zhao et al. led a thousand troops to stay defending the city, and the rest of the generals will play with me. After breaking the thieves, everyone will have a reward."

Liu Ye waved his hand, and the generals had no choice but to agree.

In addition to the hills and hills, the plains of Qingzhou have no dangers to guard. Unlike the dangers of Luoyang's Donghu Laoguan Pass, Chang'an sits on the natural dangers of Tongguan Pass. Therefore, on the official road leading from Licheng to Yangqiu County, the Yellow Turban thieves set up a battle against the horses and intercepted a person.

There are more than a thousand Yellow Turban thieves stationed here, all listless and bored.

"Huh, we are really stepmothers. Pang Shuai won the Jinan City and won't let the brothers in, and those counties won't let us in."

"That's right, the big guy is here to drink northwest wind, Pang Shuai eats and drinks well in Jinan City, playing with Zhou Jun's concubine, hehe..."

Several Yellow Turban thieves were talking one after another, but a majestic voice stopped them.

"Okay! What are you talking about? Pang Shuai sits in Jinan, divides his forces and plunders the fields, and will be able to compete with Xu Shuai in a few days. How can you slander him?"

Speaking, this man was covered in leather armor with a single coat, with a ring-shaped knife in his waist, and a few hideous scars across his face. He was faintly the leader of this group of yellow turban thieves.

When everyone saw the arrival of their immediate boss, their voices suddenly became quieter.

"It's not that I said that it's okay for me to come out with a group of pawns, but Zhang Shuai, you are Xiaoshuai, you should be sitting in the county seat. Pang Shuai is really a bit, hehe..."

Zhang Shuai's expression turned black when he heard this. He was originally a young handsome in Zhou Jun's army, and he was usually quite successful. However, Liu Ye killed Zhou Wen and Zhou Jun brothers in that battle, scared Zhang Shuai and fled.

Afterwards, Pang Hun cleaned up his subordinates and assigned generals to capture the counties. It was only because he was Zhou Jun’s cronies, so he was jealous and gave the county seat to his cronies. However, Zhang Shuai, who had the same qualifications as him, was assigned to this officer. On the road, the loess is blowing every day.

Zhang Shuai suppressed his anger and waved his hand: "A and Pang Shuai are old friends, they will reuse them in the future, you don't need to say more." He suppressed his unhappiness, turned around and wanted to walk away, and then vaguely heard from the ground. With the sound of vibration, Zhang Shuai frowned.

"There is a situation! The whole army is on alert."

I saw a faint black line appearing where the distance meets the horizon, and it gradually became clearer. When I got closer, it turned out to be a large number of military horses, and it was not the Yellow Turban army at all from the equipment.

On this land, it is not the Yellow Turban thief, of course it is the official army, and the official army in Jinan, then only...

Licheng, Liu Ye!

Before Zhang Shuai could think about it, he hurriedly ordered the thieves to move forward and block the official road. When the enemy rushed forward to take a look, he found that there were a lot of enemy troops, close to two thousand soldiers, and three hundred horsemen. Located in the center, pawns lined up on the two wings. Many of these pawns were new troops, so it was inevitable that they were a little nervous at the first battle, but the three hundred cavalrymen in the center and many veterans beside them were calm and composed, and gradually became infected and calmed down.

Seeing that it was nearly three hundred paces, Liu Ye handed over the command of the pawns to Yu Jin. With his legs clamped between the horse's belly, he stepped off the horse with a long hiss, and galloped forward. The three hundred pawns were unwilling to lag behind. Under the leadership of Zang followed closely behind.

Seeing the enemy ride getting closer, Xiaoshuai surnamed Zhang couldn't help swallowing, and when he waited about a hundred steps, he waved his arm and ordered the arrow to be released.

The Yellow Turban thieves are mostly mixed soldiers who have been transformed from civilians. It is easy to learn how to use swords, shields and long weapons, but bows and arrows are not something that can be played in a while, even Zhou Jun and Pang Hun today. There are no more than a thousand archers in the army, and now there are only dozens of these more than a thousand Yellow Turban thieves who can shoot arrows. The arrows shot out under tension are even less powerful and sparse, and they are swept away by the horsemen.

For the cavalry, the three hundred paces came in an instant. Liu Ye, who was charging ahead, roared, and Chang Li flew out and flew into the formation.
