As the sun set, Liu Hu panted and led 1,500 soldiers from the Marksman Battalion to join Zuo Aoran, Murong Ping, Zhang Xu and Luo Shixin. The 1,500 soldiers behind Liu Hu each carried a large cloth on their backs.
The pocket, which was heavy inside, contained quicklime.
When Zuo Aoran discovered the quicklime calcining kiln in Qipan Mountain, he felt like he had found a treasure. Although this thing is inconspicuous, if used properly, it has unimaginable lethality. Therefore, Zuo Aoran brought a lot of quicklime with him on this expedition.
The purpose is to use it one day, have a good time, and feel the feeling of Zhuge Wuhou using fire to attack time.
What Zuo Aoran didn't expect was that quicklime had already appeared during the Three Kingdoms period! In fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, we Chinese had already mastered the method of calcining quicklime, but Zuo Aoran didn't know it.
Zhang Xu was naked from the waist up, revealing his bulging body. He threw a large bundle of hay into the wormwood bushes on the roadside, and proudly shouted to his left, somewhat unhappily: "Second brother! Brothers have been busy for a long time.
Oh, the grass is being cut here. We don’t have so many pigs. Why cut so much grass? Are we going to start a war and kill the Yellow Turban bandits?"
There was a hint of awe in Zuo Aoran's eyes. Although the soldiers under his command have experienced life and death several times, they have not experienced a real big battle. Therefore, their tolerance for the cruelty of war and death is limited. At this time, they must try to avoid interacting with the golden thief.
The army fought head-on, so Zuo Aoran had to find ways to use clever tactics to deal with the Yellow Turbans.
Only by experiencing more victories can we cultivate the confidence of our soldiers and establish a psychological advantage over the enemy in their hearts. At that time, our soldiers can become an army like the 300 Red Scarf Army and the 600 God Hammer Battalion.
An army worthy of your trust will have the strength to fight the enemy head-on.
Zuo Aoran sighed coldly and asked, "Third brother, do you think mowing grass has nothing to do with fighting?"
"Uh, this..." Zhang Xu scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Does it matter?"
"Of course!" Zuo Aoran gave a cold look and decided to give Zhang Xu and Liu Hu a tactical lesson. He pointed at the gentle slope in front of him and said, "Yangwu Slope is the only way to get to Xuanyuan Mountain from Yangdi County.
Road, if the Yellow Turbans attack, they will definitely pass through here." Liu Hu and Zhang Xu nodded at the same time, indicating that this was easy to understand.
A trace of ferocity flashed across Zuo Aoran's face, and he said in a deep voice: "The terrain here is flat and overgrown with wormwood. There are gentle slopes on three sides, and only the south is a swamp. It is early spring now, the sky is dry, the grass and trees are withered, and it is very easy to
If our army sets fire from the east, west and north at the same time, and the fire spreads from all sides to the middle, the Yellow Turban Army will have no choice but to retreat south." Liu Hu and Zhang Xu nodded in understanding.
Murong Ping looked back at the 200 neatly stacked bags, a cruel murderous intention flashed across his face, and said coldly: "As long as the Yellow Turban bandit army retreats into that swamp, they will fall into death, and even the gods will not be able to save them.
"
Zuo Aoran patted Murong Ping on the shoulder and praised: "Fifth brother is right!"
"Well……"
Liu Hu and Zhang Xu shuddered at the same time, and Zuo Aoran's eyes at this moment made chills run down their backs.
Zuo Aoran snorted and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, third brother, follow my original instructions and hurry up and prepare!"
"Yes, Fourth Brother (Second Brother)!" Liu Hu and Zhang Xu agreed and left quickly.
…
"Hurry, hurry up, follow up behind, don't fall behind! The front army continues to advance rapidly, don't stop!" Gao Sheng, riding on his horse, kept urging the Yellow Turban soldiers to speed up their march.
A yellow scarf scout wiped the sweat dripping down his cheek with his sleeve, looked at the mount under Gao Sheng's crotch with envy, and cried bitterly: "Gao Qushuai, please take a breath for a moment, I really don't have the strength, phew! I'm really leaving.
Stop moving."
"No, we can't rest!" Gao Sheng flatly refused: "Those who betrayed General Tiangong must not stay. Bo Cai may escape at any time. We must arrive before Bo Cai escapes and kill them with all his strength."
Well! It turns out they mistook Zuo Aoran's troops for Bo Cai's troops! Bo Cai came to destroy the traitor Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous master! Both Yan Zheng and Gao Sheng were deputy generals of the local general Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao learned that Bo Cai
After rebelling and surrendering to the army, he ordered Yan Zheng and Gao Sheng to lead 9,000 yellow scarf soldiers to attack Yangdi and eliminate Bo Cai's troops. Unexpectedly, Bo Cai was not in Yangdi, but led his troops to follow Liu Bei to Guangzong. Yan Zheng
He and Gao Sheng led the troops to attack Yangzhai, and with the help of some Yellow Turban soldiers, they captured Yangdi by cooperating inside and outside. Later, they learned that there was an army at Xuanyuan Mountain that had not been moved for several days. Gao Sheng suspected that this army was
Bocai's troops.
The Yellow Turban scout said with a bitter face: "Gao Qushuai, if you march in such a hurry, even if you can get there before Boss Bo...ah...no...Bocai escapes, our brothers may not have the strength to fight. In this way,
On the contrary, it’s not good. It’s better to rest for now, and then move forward slowly when you have enough energy.”
Gao Sheng glanced at the scout with disdain and muttered: "You little scout, how dare you talk about military affairs? Don't you think that you can make great efforts at one go, then weaken again, and finally become exhausted after three gongs? The entire army must not slack off when listening to orders, and go to kill at one go.
Xuanyuan Mountain, once the traitor Bocai is eliminated, General Digong will definitely be rewarded heavily." A trace of anger flashed across the scout's eyes, and he had no choice but to drag his tired legs and continue on his way.
After marching less than three miles, the whole army entered a gentle slope covered with wormwood. He frowned and was about to stop the march. Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he saw a swampy wetland to the south. In addition, the terrain of this gentle slope was gentle and the field of vision was not wide.
After laying an ambush, he was relieved and asked the scout with a relaxed expression: "Where is this place?"
The scout said respectfully: "Go back to Qushuai, this place is called Yangwupo, and ten miles ahead is Xuanyuan Mountain."
Gao Sheng's expression perked up, he waved his riding whip and said loudly: "The three armies listen to the order. Xuanyuan Mountain is ten miles ahead. Speed up the march!"
…
On the top of a hill not far from the northwest, Zuo Aoran waved his hand gently. As soon as the two soldiers from the Marksman Battalion behind him let go, a lone pine he was holding on to fell suddenly. "Little Hou Yi-Murong Ping" stretched his bow.
Nocking the arrow, with a creaking sound, the strong bow was drawn into the shape of a full moon.
Seeing the lone pine falling on the top of the hill in the northwest, Liu Hu on the east side and Zhang Xu on the west side drew their bows and arrows at the same time. Soldiers had already pulled out the matchsticks stuck in the ashes and put them together with lamp oil.
As soon as he lifted the arrow, the arrow burst into flames. Then he let go of his hand, the bow made a "buzz" sound, and the flaming arrow was shot out into the air.
…
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
As soon as Gao Sheng finished speaking, he heard three shrill sounds of breaking through the air. Three rockets shot out from the east, west, and north directions at the same time. Gao Sheng and the three thousand Yellow Turban bandits watched helplessly as the three rockets curved through the air.
In an arc, it fell headlong into the withered yellow grass. Before it could recover, three fires were already burning on the ground.
Gao Sheng was the first to react, his face changed drastically, and he shouted sternly: "The whole army should speed up and pass through Yangwu Slope immediately!"
