"Shu Shi, you stay with me today and take a good look at how I cast spells and set up formations. These will be very useful for you to lead troops in battles in the future. I also hope that you can carry forward my master's spells.
I believe you have this talent."
This is what Zhang Jiao ordered Li Shushi. He seemed to be planning to give Li Shushi final guidance before he went north. Because the uprising was too hasty, it had a great impact on Zhang Jiao's previous plans, so the plan to train Li Shushi as his backup was basically
It has come to naught, but it is not in line with Zhang Jiaojian’s plan to involve Li Shushi as an independent force in the offensive of all fronts of the Yellow Turban Army, but now this is the only way to go.
Of course, if Li Shushi is extremely talented and can quickly learn his secret method, then he can still return to him after attacking Xindu. If Li Shushi doesn't have that ability, let him lead those people to do some harassment work, anyway.
It can also make those powerful people from aristocratic families tremble with fear for a while, right?
Julu County, Guangzong City.
"Although it's just a county town, the city wall is really not low." Seeing the rammed earth city wall about three feet high in front of him, Li Shushi also felt that maybe Guangzong was really a good city, but it was a pity that although the city was good, the talents inside were not good.
It's the most important thing.
"Take a rest. Tomorrow morning, this city will belong to us." Zhang Jiao bowed his hands seemingly casually, but he said these terrifying words.
Speaking of which, it has been three days since the forwards of the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city. However, except for the first day when many officers and soldiers were eliminated in the field due to the contempt of the defenders, when the officers and soldiers retreated into the city, there were not many
The Yellow Turbans, who were preparing to attack the city, seemed to have little choice when facing the tall city wall.
As a result, the two sides seemed a little embarrassed. The Yellow Turban Army could not attack. Due to professional restrictions, they could not even use bows and arrows to consume the number of soldiers defending the city. Although the defenders stood on the city wall as if they were showing off their power, but
But they could only stand there and defend passively. After all, their previous mistakes caused them to lose most of their defensive strength.
When Zhang Jiao's Chinese troops arrived, they were still confronting each other with big eyes and small eyes. However, this also reflected from one side that Zhang Jiao's original approach was indeed correct, although the county soldiers on the opposite side had
There were many problems such as lax training and underestimation of the enemy, but Zhang Jiao still achieved victory in the field with a small number of Yellow Turban troops with combat experience and a large number of novice Yellow Turban troops. And if Zhang Jiao was given more time, I am afraid that the world would
It's really possible to give it a try.
Of course, the ruler of the Han Dynasty would not sit back and watch Zhang Jue encroaching on his empire bit by bit and then lose his tail. He would leave enough time for Zhang Jue to cause chaos, but he would not cause too much trouble to himself. Liu Hong did this
I must be very proud of my own idea.
"Leader, why don't we start attacking the city now? Our siege equipment is almost ready now, and the number of local defenders is not large. We can definitely take down the enemy's city in one go."
Li Shushi saw that Zhang Jiao didn't have any desire to attack immediately, so he asked curiously. Anyway, he was just a student, so there was no problem if he didn't feel ashamed to ask.
"You only saw the superficial victory of our Yellow Turban Army, but did not discover our shortcomings. To a large extent, the Yellow Turban Army are a group of ordinary people. Although they changed their jobs and became an army of guardians to protect our Taiping Road, but
In essence, they are still a group of common people who lack training, and their martial arts skills are far inferior to those of trained professional soldiers, even if those soldiers' daily training is simply for fun."
Li Shushi was silent, while Zhang Jiao was very clear-headed. The Yellow Turban Army was far behind the regular army in terms of career growth and the people who switched to this profession. In field battles, we might be able to use the numerical advantage to divide and surround the opponent.
Defeat each opponent.
But when it comes to siege warfare in a narrow terrain and the Yellow Turban Army is still at a disadvantage, the Yellow Turban Army, which lacks basic long-range support, may need to make a lot of sacrifices to win a city. This kind of loss is big and the gain is small.
Zhang Jiao, a leader with a weak family background, would not do such a thing.
"Shu Shi, you can follow me after dinner and take a look at my steps and spells. It depends on how much you can learn tonight."
Seeing that Li Shushi had understood the current situation faced by the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao patted Li Shushi's head affectionately like an elder, and then told him his education plan.
"Why do we have to wait until night? Can't we do it during the day?" Li Shushi vaguely remembered that Zhang Jiao's spell seemed to be to summon wooden people and clay puppets. It seemed that there was no need to hide such things.
"Haha, I forgot that you had seen the truth about my spells. However, although those things act like ordinary humans and attack the enemies set by the summoner, they are still a group of dead creatures after all, and the kingdom of the living is still governed by
Let the living decide."
But before Li Shushi showed an expression of admiration, Zhang Jiao smiled strangely again.
"And don't you think that the shock effect and the faith received in that kind of environment are far higher than ordinary situations? The unknown is always the most terrifying thing, because its opponent is the fear buried in human beings themselves.
"
Although Li Shushi had black lines all over his forehead, considering the circumstances of the year, Li Shushi had to admit that Zhang Jiao was worthy of being a professional prodigy. According to psychological speculation, he was perfect.
"Of course, the most important thing is that if the spell I cast is placed in the dark, the effect will be far greater than during the day. Since the MP used is the same, why not create a favorable environment for myself?
"
It turns out that the dark clouds that night were Tan Tian Tian, but why did Zhang Jiao, a Taoist priest, know how to ride Tan Tian Tian? And what was the purple mist that night? One mystery after another rose from his heart.
Well, it seems that Zhang Jiao still has some reservations.
It was still a bright and starry night, and the soldiers and people in Guangzong City seemed to have adapted to this confrontation. Speaking of which, these soldiers were also very helpless. They not only had to defend against the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, but also
Beware of the people in the city who support Taiping Dao. The balance of victory is actually infinitely tilted towards Zhang Jiao's side. The only difference is when the last straw falls on the balance.
Now, Zhang Jiao's arrival is just a perfect ending to this battle.
In Li Shushi's view, it was really difficult for Zhang Jiao to ask him to learn those complicated formations and obscure spells in one day. He was not a pure genius with an IQ of over 200;
The potential is less than 40. Looking at the Three Kingdoms, it can only be compared with Liu Chan and Huang Hao.
Zhang Jiao also seemed to see that Li Shushi was indeed not a gifted genius, but after such a long period of contact, he would not think that Li Shushi was a loser, because Li Shushi's research on energy was so profound that even he
Zhang Jiao was also quite suspicious, and even the mutual corroboration between some of Li Shushi's research results and some of his past experimental phenomena gave him new ideas and ideas.
"A geek who is not outstanding in ability but has great ideas." This is Zhang Jiao's final evaluation of Li Shushi. Speaking of which, Guan Hai also reported to Zhang Jiao the outstanding subordinates around Li Shushi during this period.
However, although he began to realize the impact of the presence of outstanding generals on the battle situation, Zhang Jiao still felt that the number of people was enough to make up for the commander's strengths and weaknesses, so he gave Li Shushi the opportunity to escape.
The dark clouds were still so thick, and the wooden figures and clay puppets were still so powerful. Standing on the temporary altar that Zhang Jiao had built for the purpose of casting spells, Li Shushi clearly watched everything happening in the distance.
Although some of the soldiers guarding the city reacted, they could not see what was in front of them at all. Some were attacking casually with the weapons in their hands, and some were trying to escape or advance. But Li Shushi could clearly see,
All this is useless.
The attackers rarely hit the target. Most of the attacks that hit the target hit their own people. Only a few arrows hit the wooden figures or earth puppets, but there was not even a ripple on the overall situation.
I couldn't even turn it up. Sad? Or maybe it was despair? Anyway, Li Shushi seemed to be able to hear the heart-rending shouts in the city in the distance.
At this moment, Li Shushi thought again of the tragic scene he saw that night, the bloody corpses, broken internal organs, the viscous and greasy green liquid, and the desperate screams and depressing cries that came one after another.
Everything intertwines into a hell on earth.
Li Shushi couldn't help but look at Zhang Jiao, who was concentrating on casting spells next to him. This great director who directs horror films is not one of the "tomato juice directors" in Hong Kong. This kind of psychological quality may be something he needs to learn. But Li Shushi today
His performance was far less hesitant than the first time he saw a similar situation. Perhaps he had also begun to adapt to these cruel facts unknowingly.
"The battlefield is the grave of romantic men and women." Although I don't know who said this famous saying, when Li Shushi adapted to the cruelty of the battlefield, it also represented the beginning of his own gains from the battlefield.
p.s. First update today.
p.s. I will try to maintain two updates a day next week, but I will not add more updates. This week has been a miserable week, and my body has been very discouraged...
