Chapter 971: The First Battle of the Yellow Turbans
The Yellow Turban storm swept across the world, and even Luo Jing was almost infiltrated, causing Emperor Ling to urgently gather an army of elite soldiers to defend Tiandu and all directions of Tiandu.
Then, imperial edicts were issued one after another, calling on the rebel armies from all over the world to attack the rebels. Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Wang Yun and other large armies set out from Luojing to suppress the four directions.
Those who are interested in the army in Luojing have basically enlisted or been recruited. Even young people from the towns and villages around Luojing have joined the army voluntarily or semi-forcedly.
It was difficult for Wu Xin and Diao Chan to recruit soldiers. They had to force recruits or lure them with high prices, neither of which Wu Xin wanted.
In the final analysis, we simply led two hundred guards out of the city and headed to the southeast of Zhongzhou. I believe that as long as we are careful and pick the weakest, and don't run into the Yellow Turban army or the terrifying powerful ones, there will be no big safety problems.
All cavalry, or elite cavalry.
It only took Wu Xin and others half a day to catch up with and surpass Wang Yun's army, heading straight to the southeast of Zhongzhou...
There is no way, Wu Xin and others only have so little manpower, they can only find shrimps and millet to pick up leaks. If they follow Wang Yun's army, they will not be able to catch anything, and in the end they will have to mix in the soy sauce among the army!
…
Southeast of Luojing.
The largest mountain group in the eastern part of the Han Dynasty, it is composed of three major mountain ranges including the famous Xuanyuan Mountains, Tianyang Mountains and Zhongyue Mountains and more than a dozen small mountain ranges. It stretches for tens of thousands of miles and is collectively called the Guyue Mountains.
Southeast of Guyue Mountains, Dongguo County, Xingyang Prefecture.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army sprung up everywhere. Even Xingyang Mansion, one of the gates of Tiandu, was mostly captured by the Yellow Turban Army.
Thanks to Dugu Jialuo and the "Sky-Peeping Mirror", Wu Xin and others arrived at Dongguo County, avoiding the larger number of Yellow Turbans and the towns with powerful people, and successfully penetrated into the area occupied by the Yellow Turbans. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is behind the Yellow Turban area!
The sound of iron hooves like raindrops echoed in the empty and cold wilderness...
In the past few days, Wu Xin and others ran thousands of miles and witnessed the horrific disaster of the Yellow Turban Storm.
It cannot be said that there are ten rooms and nine empty houses, corpses everywhere, or a bare ground thousands of miles away. However, it is common to see hundreds of miles without any human habitation.
You know, this is Zhongzhou, one of the areas with the highest population density in the Han Dynasty. It not only has a large number of residents, but also has more people coming and going.
Nowadays, everything is deserted and deserted. There are only shriveled and putrid corpses, debris, wreckage, etc. scattered everywhere. Even refugees and refugees are rarely seen.
In addition to killings, looting, turmoil and rape accounted for most of the main reasons. After all, this is a world of super martial arts, and it is not so easy to starve to death or die from exhaustion.
"Sir! About one hundred and fifty miles away, there is a town that is being plundered by yellow turban thieves!"
While everyone was marching in silence, Dugu Jialuo, who was riding a war horse and observing the surroundings with a "sky mirror" in his hand, suddenly became energetic and looked at Wu Xinhui to report.
"Bah, bah..."
After hearing this, they all reined in their horses and stopped, looking at Dugu Jialuo in confusion and anticipation.
In the past few days, everyone had passed through Dugu Jialuo and learned about many lootings, killings, etc. However, the enemy army was so powerful that Wu Xin and others did not go to the rescue, but avoided it in advance!
really……
Without waiting for anyone to think or ask any more questions, Dugu Jialuo took the initiative to explain:
"The town should be Chengyang Town in Yingcheng County, with a population of just over ten thousand. The number of Yellow Turban thieves who looted is about two thousand, and the one with the highest cultivation level is in the middle or late Yuan Ying stage!"
"oh?"
Wu Xin heard what Dugu Jialuo meant, his eyes lit up and he began to think deeply.
This is the Yellow Turban Army with the smallest number and the weakest strength that Wu Xin and others have encountered along the way.
Of course, the main reason was the imperial court's counterattack. The area where Wu Xin and others had previously traveled was hidden as a front line, so the Yellow Turban Army focused on defense. It was larger in number and stronger, making it difficult for Wu Xin and others to seize the opportunity.
This is not the Great Li Dynasty. The Yellow Turban Army's scouts are difficult to find, and it is difficult to catch up with them. If they catch up, they may not be able to defeat them. Even if they can be defeated, the enemy's reinforcements will come soon...
Therefore, Wu Xin and others headed eastward without fighting a single battle for several days.
"What do you mean, miss?" After making a secret decision, Wu Xin looked at Diao Chan and asked for instructions.
"kill!"
The situation along the road had long made Diao Chan extremely hateful and murderous. Now that she heard what Dugu Jialu meant, she couldn't wait any longer!
Wu Xin nodded, looked at Dugu Jialuo and signaled her to take command.
"Everyone, listen to the order. One hundred and fifty miles to the south, in Chengyang Town, raid and kill!"
Dugu Jialuo quickly ordered without hesitation, and then continued: "Young Master, Miss and all of you in the Golden Core Realm can take a step forward to prevent the strong Yellow Turban Thieves from asking for help!"
With the cultivation strength of two hundred guards and the armor of war horses, it would be easy to defeat two thousand ordinary yellow scarf thieves.
The difficult thing is to destroy them with lightning speed. It is best not to give the enemy a chance to ask for help. Otherwise, the strong men of the Yellow Turban Army will be chased or notice Wu Xin and others, and the future will be difficult and dangerous.
This is one of the reasons why Wu Xin and others have not taken action!
"Young Master will deal with this yellow turban leader, I will deal with this person, Aunt Qing will deal with... Uncle Li will deal with... Wu Yi will deal with..."
Dugu Jialuo cast a spell on the "sky-gazing mirror" to reflect and magnify the plot in the mirror, and deployed it carefully.
In the realm of mirror reflection, hair and hair are visible, as if looking face to face, which is so miraculous that Diao Chan, Aunt Qing and others are secretly surprised.
However, Wu Xin and others were mysterious, and Dugu Jialuo was apparently the strongest among them all. Diao Chan and others were a little surprised and did not ask any further questions.
"Concubine Yin will take good care of Bianhua and command the team. We will take the first step!"
After deploying the "decapitation plan", Dugu Jialuo finally looked at Concubine Yin and gave instructions.
Concubine Yin is the daughter of the famous general Yin Shishi. She is very intelligent and comes from a family of generals. She has also participated in many wars. Her military ability is naturally not weak. Not to mention a mere two hundred guards, she is more than enough to be a commander of one hundred thousand!
After Concubine Yin accepted the order, Wu Xin rose into the sky and pulled the mist into clouds to wrap around herself...
Diao Chan and others entered the "fog mass" one after another, and Dugu Jialuo cast a shield to prevent spiritual detection, and everyone slowly sneaked towards Chengyang Town.
Although Chengyang Town is a town-level stronghold, it is still more than ten meters high. The stone wall a few meters behind is guarded by a town-level formation.
But now the wall has collapsed, the formation has been broken, and many people in disorderly costumes are wreaking havoc in the town, burning, killing and looting.
The beacon smoke billowed like pillars, filled with blood. Screams, cries, shouts of killing, bombardments, etc. intertwined into one, turning into a bloody killing field.
In the more obvious castle-like mansion in the middle of the town, dozens of people wearing yellow robes and yellow scarves on their heads are standing in the courtyard...
Many yellow turban thieves came in and out, piling up gold, silver, jade, ancient paintings and books in the courtyard, forming a hill with the potential to scrape the ground three feet away.
After all, gold and silver are only useful to ordinary people, and are basically useless to monks, and it is difficult to use them as currency. However, the yellow scarf thieves even robbed gold, silver, copper and iron. They are typically poor and crazy, or they are crazy!
