The night was deep, and it was already very dark all around. Even the torches on the wall of Hangu Pass only illuminated a very small part. It seemed that if the light tried to move forward a little bit, it would be completely swallowed up by the darkness, and even the whole person would be scum.
None were left.
Under the Hangu Pass Observation Platform, there seemed to be a few cat calls, as if a lynx wandering from some mountain top came here looking for night food.
The torch on the lookout flashed a few times, and then a few ropes hung baskets from the wall. Someone was lying on the parapet and whispered to the people below: "Move quickly!"
Immediately, something that looked like a wine jar was placed in the hanging basket. The people on the wall quickly pulled it up. After hurriedly pulling it up, they quickly put the empty basket back down and continued to pull it up.
…
A dozen large jars were quickly piled up on the wall. A soldier standing aside holding a torch was curious and secretly took two steps forward. Just as he was about to stretch his head to take a look, he was hit hard on the back of the head.
A slap in the face...
"Fuck you! Look at you! Stay away from me! If you dare to get close to me again, I will chop you down!" Seeing this idiot holding a torch and moving forward, the military commander on the side was so frightened that he almost came out of his wits.
He hurriedly came up and cursed in a low voice, beating and kicking the soldier and driving him far away.
After hanging it back and forth a few times, I heard a short cry from somewhere, as if a wild cat had its tail stepped on. The military commander's expression changed, and he quickly called to the soldiers on the city wall to move the big jar away and hide it.
, he swayed left and right twice, gritted his teeth and walked forward...
They had not gone far when they saw a group of people approaching, led by Captain Guo Pu.
The military commander hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Captain Guo Pu just hummed and walked straight forward without stopping. On the other hand, the man following Guo Pu who also looked like a military commander said in a nonchalant manner: "
Mr. Chen Jun, why don’t you take a rest at this late hour? Why don’t you close the air and get some fresh air?”
Chen Junhou laughed with him and walked forward on one side, saying: "Li Junhou, no, no... I just heard about the Yellow Turban Thief in the past two days, which made me feel uneasy and couldn't sleep, so I came up and walked around...
"
Captain Guo Pu glanced sideways at Chen Junhou, sneered, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
Li Junhou chuckled twice and said: "Oh, that's it, Chen Junhou should be more careful, don't let the yellow scarf thief touch the door and hurt it, it will be bad, haha..."
Chen Junhou had a shy face, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Li Junhou's words, and laughed along with him, saying: "Yes, alas, I am old, my body and bones are not as good as those of young people. If I were younger,
A ten-year-old, I'm sure..."
Chen Junhou made a slashing gesture, and then said: "Yellow turban thieves are actually military merits. I lost a lot of yellow turbans during the Zhongping period, so I can become this military lord..."
Guo Pu paused for a moment, turned around and asked Chen Junhou: "Have you... also killed the Yellow Turban?"
"Killed! I was a very capable person at that time," Chen Junhou pulled back his military robe, revealing a long scar on his chest. "This wound was from back then. Thanks to my good fortune..."
Guo Pu nodded and said: "The injury is in front, so I am a man. Tell me, how was the Yellow Turban at that time?"
"Hey, it was General Huangfu back then..." Chen Junhou nodded and led the way from the side. Intentionally or unintentionally, he bypassed the weather tower and walked forward...
Seeing that Chen Junhou had already passed the observation platform, he felt a little relieved, and his speech became smoother and more exaggerated, "...Actually, the Yellow Turbans are just farmers who have snatched some swords and guns, even worse than some bandits.
At first, I was a little scared when I saw the large number of Yellow Turbans. However, General Huangfu directly attacked the Yellow Turbans' central army. When the flag fell, hey, hey, he was like a wild monkey all over the mountains and plains, that one ran away...
Guo Pu listened and walked, and unknowingly he had completed the east wall. Liangzhou and Yongzhou have always been fighting with the Qiang and Hu who rebelled when they surrendered, as well as with small and large places that did not obey the orders of the central court.
Fighting bravely, the Yellow Turbans. It is estimated that Zhang Jiao did not look down on the remote and desolate Liangzhou at that time, so Guo Pu did not have much experience fighting against the Yellow Turbans. But after hearing what Chen Junhou said, his already restless heart started to grow again.
Get active.
Aren't they just farmers with some inferior knives and guns?
Could it be more difficult to deal with than the Qianghu with swords and horses?
Damn, this cowardly Zheng Guanling!
Guo Pu touched his beard, snorted, and without saying anything to Chen Junhou, he led Li Junhou down the east city wall.
× × × × × × × × ×
Fei Qian tossed and turned all night long. This was really difficult to handle.
Fei Qian is now extremely bored with the remnants of the Yellow Turban, especially at this time and at this place. You must know that this is the Weihan Passage. You can only go in at one end and out at the other end. Now you are stuck here. You can't go in and you can't go back.
Come on, I really have a headache.
In ancient times, we didn’t want future generations to have a helicopter or something like that. But if we had enough materials, we could make a hot air balloon and float over there? Forget it, I’ve never done it before. If something goes wrong, it’s just a joke about human life. Besides,
Even if you do it yourself now, where will you find the materials?
Why did the Yellow Turbans appear in Xin'an?
Some time ago, I heard that the Baibo bandits fought a battle with Dong Zhuo's army and defeated Dong Zhuo's army, but that was in the mountainous area east of the river, okay?
In Fei Qian's opinion, the main reason why the Baibo bandits were able to win was because they occupied a favorable geographical location. There are mountains and forests in the eastern part of Hedong, and the Xiliang soldiers' cavalry advantage could not be used at all. Even if Dong Zhuo's army was attacked, it would be a fortress.
Fighting with the scalp on his head, he turned the cavalry into infantry and climbed up the hill. When they climbed up the mountain, the Baibo bandits had already gone to another hill...
Therefore, the defeat of the Xiliang cavalry does not prove that its combat effectiveness is weak. Try it on flat ground. The Xiliang cavalry charging in formation can probably beat the yellow scarf thieves who lack horses and cannot even escape!
Xin'an is also a small county town, and it has been located in the hinterland where there has been no war for a long time. The garrison is small to begin with. At most, it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred people standing up to the sky. Being surrounded by one or two thousand yellow scarves, of course, they are panicked.
A yellow scarf thief worth one or two thousand...
If about a thousand soldiers from Hangu Pass were dispatched and they carried out a surprise attack from behind while the Yellow Turban thieves were besieging the city, the siege of Xin'an would probably be solved.
Historically, Kong Rong in Beihai was besieged. At that time, Guan Hai claimed to have tens of thousands of troops surrounding the city. Didn't it mean how many troops Liu Huangshu led, three thousand or five thousand?
Fei Qian thought about it, but he couldn't remember clearly. Anyway, there were much fewer soldiers than Guan Hai. They rushed out from behind the besieging camp, and Guan Hai's Yellow Turbans collapsed in a single charge...
Of course, Guan Hai's military strength at that time may have included the entire Yellow Turban family, but wasn't that the case with the Yellow Turbans?
Now it is better to go and meet someone...
During Cao Cao's expedition, he ran out of water halfway, so he climbed up and looked out, saying, "There is a plum grove ahead." The sergeants were filled with saliva, their morale was high, and they set out in a hurry. Sure enough, there was a plum grove, so they divided and ate it.
On the tenth day, there was an urgent report from Chang'an: "King Hu, Arthur, invaded the border area and promised to avenge the national master..."
