Chapter 15 Battle of Julu 2
For people in troubled times, pulling the men is the most terrifying thing in their memory, no doubt about it. The poet Du Fu of a generation wrote three farewells in his poems. The painful experience, despair, powerless change, and humble life are things that no one dares or wants to face. Unfortunately, life in troubled times is not worth anything at all.
There are scenes of separation and death in Yangzhou. Because of the two major reasons of the devil's arrival and the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xue Tian and the Yellow Turban Thief both pulled the men and enriched the team on their territory. The Yellow Turban Thief adopted the usual style and kidnapped all the young and old, while the elderly, weak, sick and disabled died ruthlessly under their butcher knife. Thick smoke rose everywhere in the countryside and towns, cuckoos cried blood, and resentment was pouring.
Although Xue Tianyi was considered a powerful man, his methods were much gentler. In the past half month, the soldiers had seen the endless wheat and had long regarded him as a true god. He also expanded the scale of wheat and expanded the wheat planting area to a large scale of 100 acres. In this way, no matter how many soldiers he recruited, they could ensure that they would not go hungry.
Xue Tian's recruitment of soldiers was also very compassionate to others. Although he did not change the military registration system set by the court, he stipulated that each household would only recruit men aged 18-28 to join the army. If there were two brothers or more, one would be left to take care of their parents. If there was only one male, then there would be no need to join the army. Those who were taken to join the army were not good at all. Xue Tian set several unprecedented regulations, first, the corresponding corvee taxes for the family of the service were reduced according to the number of service personnel, and secondly, every soldier who served, during his service, the court distributed thirty kilograms of flour and one kilogram of meat per month.
Two kilograms of oil were given to his family. In the end, the families of the dead who died in battle could be divided into fifty acres of land and thirty jin of five zhu coins, as well as ten years of labor exemption. This was a very amazing generous benefit in an era when there was no salary at all. There were too many examples of starving to death due to famine and war in troubled times. After every famine and war, hungry people were everywhere, and the leaves and barks were gnawed everywhere. The hungry people finally died by eating Guanyin land. Now that Xue Tian has provided such generous conditions, how could ordinary people not agree to join the army? Such a wise ruler is simply unsuccessful.
In just half a month, Xue Tian recruited 300,000 soldiers as planned. His training was sent to the generals, and he had no interest. "Military advisors, have the soldiers' families allocated food?"
Sun Shao: "My lord, all of them have been distributed. If it weren't for the mysterious magic of the immortal master, our army would not have been able to come up with so much money and food."
"The immortal master has immeasurable merits." Xue Tian praised himself, "What's the situation in Julu?"
"The situation of the Julu battle can be described in the words "tragic" words. General Zhu Jun was originally responsible for escorting food and grass, but he did not expect to be attacked by a large number of Yellow Turban thieves and unfortunately died and died or died or injured by a large number of Yellow Turban thieves. General Huangfu Song is still siegeing the city under Julu City. Unfortunately, he has not captured it for half a month, and he has suffered three or four thousand casualties every day."
"What about the Yellow Turban Thief? Didn't anyone suffer any casualties?" Xue Tian was a little confused.
"Julu City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is a deep moat under the city, with a strong and towering wall. It is very difficult for the soldiers guarding the city to be successfully defeated in the bandit army."
"It seems that we have to eliminate the Yellow Turban thieves in Yangzhou as soon as possible, and then go north to eliminate the Yellow Turban thieves." Xue Tian shook his hands very hatefully. In fact, there was no fluctuation in his heart.
"It's time to study the highest mysteries of alchemy, the human body is refined, the Stone of the Sage. When I have almost finished research, I will use millions of creatures from Julu as sacrifices." Xue Tianwu thought about it and asked Sun Shao to do a good job in logistics and intelligence work, and go to the room to study the ultimate alchemy human body refining array in the black magic book, which is the Stone of the Stone of the Sword.
The conversation was divided into two ends. Bo was the vanguard that day, and Zhang Jiao was the main army and Huangfu Song's army started the mouth-blade mode as soon as they met outside Julu City. This era emphasizes the fact that the army is famous and just. Both sides must call themselves justice, so as not to leave behind the eternal infamy of rebels.
"Old thief Zhang Jiao, you bewitch the people's hearts, gather people to rebel, and establish a pseudo-Taiping Dao Kingdom, claiming that the sky is dead, and Huang Tian should establish it, which is even more of a heinous crime! Now I am ordered to fight the thief, holding a million troops, and I can kill you in an instant! I advise you to dismount and surrender quickly, and kill them obediently, and kill them only, and the rest will not pursue them!" Huangfu Song shouted.
Although Zhang Jiao was one kilometer away from Huangfu Song after Bocai, his voice still rang through the sky. The ears and eyes of many people in the court army were shaken by his voice, and he became blind and deaf. "Old thief Huangfu, the court is injustice, the foolish monarchs ruin the country, the eunuchs are in power, and the country is shaken! Corrupt officials are levying bribes, the people are displaced, and they change their sons to eat! Officials force the people to rebel, and they have to rebel! If you help the evil, you will be criticized for eternity in the future!"
Zhang Jiao is the best thing about his words. After all, he has reached today step by step by step by step by step by step by step. Huangfu Song saw him so stubborn: "Who and I will take this guy with me!"
"I am willing to go!" Zhao Yun spoke beside Gongsun Zan.
Huangfu Song saw that he was wearing a white robe, with bright eyes and a faint cold light from the spear in his hand. He couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this?"
Gongsun Zan said: "This is a lieutenant under a certain tent, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong of Changshan. He has extraordinary martial arts skills. He will be foolproof!"
"Okay! Zilong comes out!"
Zhao Yun rushed out of the formation quickly and shouted in front of the two armies: "I am Zhao Zilong, Changshan! Who will die!"
Bo Cai could not hold back, "Don't be arrogant if you have a white-faced child with a stinky breast, let someone come to meet you!" Under him was a tall brown horse, strong and powerful, holding a 65-pound heavy knife in his hand, rushing out and slashing straight down on Zhao Yun's head. This knife has a force of 500 pounds. If it is slashed, even a stone can be split.
"This person's sword skills are very open and comprehensive, and it is quite well organized. I wonder if Zhao Yun can take it?" Many people on Huangfu Song's side began to worry, after all, this sword is very powerful.
Zhao Yun did not take his big sword. He was quick-witted and when Bo Cai's big sword was lifted in the air and was about to slash at him, the spear in his hand quickly stabbed Bo Cai's throat. Everyone saw the spear move, and a white light flashed, and there was a hole in Bo Cai's neck.
Bo looked at Zhao Yun in disbelief, fell to the ground with a big knife in his hand, covered his neck with both hands, and said "Um..." and fell to the ground with a loud bang. He left the horse to wander around in place.
"Oh..." He won! The soldiers on Huangfu Song's side shouted happily, and Gongsun Zan's face was shining and he stroked his beard with pride.
Zhang Jiao was silent and could not believe the result. Zhang Jiao was even more furious. He saw him muttering something, pointing to Huangfu Song's army with a nine-section scepter in his hand. The sky and the earth suddenly changed, and dozens of tornadoes swept across the world. Countless soldiers were swept into the wind, stirring up blood and flesh by the huge wind.
"Run quickly, this is a magic trick!"
Under great fear, hundreds of thousands of troops were disintegrated and fled everywhere, while Zhang Jiao struggled to support him. His face turned pale, obviously because his magic power was overdrawn, but in order to let more enemies die, he could only support him.
However, in just two quarters of an hour, Huangfu Song's side was completely gone on the battlefield. The tornado in the sky took more than 170,000 lives, but Zhang Jiao's magic power was also overdrawn. He could only stop the spell and order him to return to the city.
Besides, Pei Yuanshao and his side were marching all the way, with people holding hands and horses. In just one and a half days, they arrived in the forest beside Yishui and burried. They ate dried cakes just to wait for the enemy's grain transport team.
When the sun sets and at dusk, I saw countless ships coming from the other side from afar, with the word "Zhu" on the flag. It turned out that in order to be foolproof, Huangfu Song specially asked Zhu Yan to lead 100,000 people to transport grain, transporting enough food and grass for all the people to eat for half a year at a time, and came from Luoyang.
"When they are unstable, shoot arrows!" Pei Yuanshao said to Zhou Cang in a low voice.
"Shoot the arrow!" Zhou Cang waved his hand. Archers who were prepared had drawn their bows one after another, and thousands of arrows were fired at once.
Unpredictable, the people who were carrying food and grass were all caught in arrows and fell to the ground. Zhu Yan reacted quickly, dodging left and right for several arrows, and then he drew out his knife, "Let the array and meet the enemy!"
"Kill!" Three teams rushed out of the forest, and more than 100,000 troops rushed in like a tide. The big sword and spear harvested the lives of countless people. This was a smooth battle.
Zhu Yan knew that it was difficult to be kind today, so he shouted: "Brothers, follow me and fight for a bloody way! Go!" As he said that, he waved his sword, three or four heads on the other side soared into the sky, and blood gushed out. He didn't even look at it, and then rushed forward and slashed all the way. Many soldiers behind him were chopped by the enemy, and even he himself was cut a few times. It was as difficult as a chasm for a short period of time.
"Ha! Zhu Ye, boy, come and die!" Pei Yuanshao rushed over and stabbed heavily with a spear in his hand, which pierced Zhu Ye's heart impartially, and a generation of famous generals fell!
"Zhu Ye is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Zhu Ye is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Zhu Ye is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
Zhu Yan's head was cut off, and more than 60,000 surrendered soldiers brought food and grass back to Julu City together.
