Chapter eight hundred and seventy seventh came a severed hand
Such a fantasy siege mode maximized the numerical advantage of the Yellow Turban Army.
Seeing a huge gentle slope appearing close to the outer city wall and extending to the outside of the moat, Lei Hu turned around and said to an old man with a yellow scarf on his head and a powerful and unpredictable breath: "Master Xu, it's your turn to take action!"
"promise!"
Master Xu turned around and left, and soon led a group of men with vague auras and yellow scarves on their heads to the moat.
Lei Hu's sharp eyes happened to see the Yellow Turban Taoist masters headed by Taoist Xu, on a gentle slope made of piles of dirt, taking out spells that were glowing with light and spontaneously ignited without fire.
In his induction, special auras of light flew from the self-igniting Zhang Zhang spell without fire into the gentle slope formed by the piles, quickly changing the nature of the gentle slope.
The art of Taiping - turning mud into stone!
The long gentle slope turned into hard stone at a speed visible to the naked eye, enough for a war horse to gallop without any accidents. However, in half a stick of incense, the entire gentle slope had already turned into stone.
"Cavalry, charge!"
Lei Hu saw it clearly, and directly waved his hand and ordered: "The heavy armored infantry will follow up. Don't rush too far after climbing the city wall. Let other groups of Yellow Turban troops kill on the city wall to distract the defenders' attention!"
With an order, the few tens of thousands of cavalrymen under Lei Hu rushed out amidst the roaring of war drums, followed the long and gentle slope directly to the city wall, and occupied a long section in just a moment.
"Kill them, kill them!"
Millions of Yellow Turban elites cheered in unison, and the heavy armored infantry pointed by the flag rushed up quickly, followed by a large number of Yellow Turban elite light infantry.
At this time, the yellow scarf warriors on the self-made clay platform had stopped "transmitting firepower". They were all sweating profusely from exhaustion. The runes on their bodies had been hidden into their skin. The originally huge body of five feet high quickly shrank and became
He looks like an ordinary person, except that he is taller and more majestic than ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers.
Obviously, the continuous throwing of irregular stones had consumed a lot of their physical strength and energy. After the break, they immediately returned to the logistics and living camp to eat and drink to replenish their energy. Each of them transformed into a big rice bucket and consumed a lot of energy in the camp of 10,000 people.
A meal.
No wonder that when the Yellow Turban Army was at its peak, Taiping Taoism advocated that the number of Yellow Turban warriors under his command was no more than a million. At this rate of food consumption, even the most powerful households would not be able to support it.
Of course, you get what you pay for. Although the Yellow Turban warriors consumed an astonishing amount of food and grass, their combat power was also extremely terrifying.
Once a military formation is formed, it is no problem to fight one against ten or even one against a hundred. It is a pity that all the millions of yellow scarf warriors who followed Zhang Jiao were trapped in Guangzong City, wasting such an astonishing combat power.
The Yellow Turban forces scattered all over the country also have some Yellow Turban warriors, and some Yellow Turban army commanders have the means to train Yellow Turban warriors. Unfortunately, they think that training Yellow Turban warriors consumes too much resources, so they don't pay much attention at all.
Lei Hu was quite interested in this method, but it was a pity that Guan Hai took these core methods of Taiping Tao too seriously and had no idea of teaching them to outsiders.
This time, he finally managed to get 500 Yellow Turban warriors from Guan Hai. Lei Hu regarded them as the mainstay of the army and did not want them to be used as cannon fodder in the charge.
The current siege battle is the best example. Five hundred yellow scarf warriors launched a throwing attack on the tall and majestic city wall of Beihai County from fifty miles away. Nearly a hundred kilograms of irregular stones continuously hit the wall of Beihai County.
It lasted for half an hour.
The defenders on the city wall of Beihai County were so smashed that they could hardly raise their heads. Only then did Lei Hu's cavalry and heavy infantry attack on the city wall and directly break through the well-defended Beihai County City.
That's right, after Lei Hu's troops stormed the city wall, Beihai County's defense system was declared broken.
According to Lei Hu's instructions, the Yellow Turban soldiers who stormed the south city wall did not rush down to the city, but waited for the remaining walls to fall before rushing down.
The city of Beihai County was in chaos. Lei Hu's troops did not kill the wealthy areas, but controlled all the main civilian areas and areas where craftsmen lived, and then the city's granaries and government offices were located.
As for the wealthy and aristocratic district with the most abundant wealth in the city, although Leihu's troops were greedy, they had no intention of attacking. They allowed the rest of the Yellow Turban Army to wreak havoc, and they honestly guarded their own interests in accordance with the orders.
In the next half month, except for half of Lei Hu's troops who were still stationed in the camp outside the city, the remaining hundreds of millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans all poured into Beihai County, which covered an area of 10,000 miles.
The whole Beihai County was in chaos, and all kinds of ugly phenomena were everywhere. Lei Hu couldn't control so much. He only strictly restrained his subordinates from acting recklessly, and at the same time firmly guarded their interests.
Half a month later, the big leader Guan Hai reluctantly restrained his crazy men and summoned the Qingzhou Yellow Turban generals to discuss the distribution of benefits.
"Still according to the old rules, the civilians and craftsmen in the city will be taken over by a certain family!"
At the filth-distribution meeting, Lei Hu put forward his opinion without any politeness at all: "I will take one-third of the seized grain and grass, and one-tenth of the remaining property is enough. A certain family has no time to pay attention to the rest!"
The Yellow Turban generals present here did not have much objection to this. According to the achievements of Leihu's troops, this little thing is enough to give them face. If they are still not satisfied, they will not get anything good in the future.
Even though Lei Hu looked pale and weak, his men were the absolute main force in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. Without the charge of Lei Hu's troops, the overall combat strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army would have been reduced by at least half.
This is really not a joke. In the entire Qingzhou Yellow Turban army of nearly 100 million, the Leihu Department is the most regular and orderly. Not only in terms of the number of generals who can charge into battle, but in terms of military strength alone, it ranks first among the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. Even the chief leader
None of Hai's direct descendants can compare with him.
Besides, Lei Hu didn't ask for much, just ordinary people and some craftsmen who could be cannon fodder, so it didn't hurt to give it to him. This was a tacit understanding after many times of cooperation.
After getting the benefits he wanted, Lei Hu didn't care about the noisy and dirty talk here, and found an excuse to leave directly.
This time in the Beihai County Battle, the Yellow Turban Army won quite easily. They almost completely captured the entire Beihai County without letting the rich and powerful people inside escape.
However, after the city was breached, Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai County, rushed out and ran away, protected by his close men and horses.
Lei Hu didn't care much about this. Although Kong Rong was a descendant of a saint, he might have been a capable minister in the prosperous times. Unfortunately, the Han Empire was now falling apart. It was a real troubled time. The role that Kong Rong, a more traditional celebrity, could play
Really limited.
He led his personal guards around the messy Beihai County. When he saw something he couldn't bear, it was just a piece of cake for him to step forward and help him, but for him, the person being pulled might be a member of his family.
life.
Why……
Lei Hu sighed. There was only so much he could do. Not to mention that he was not the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. Even if he took the position of Guan Hai, he would only have the same restraint on the Yellow Turban generals. Don't expect to show up.
A situation where orders and prohibitions are enforced.
"Let our people guard the civilian area and craftsman camp, and don't give others the chance to sneak in and cause chaos!"
After seeing too many unpleasant things, Lei Hu had no intention of staying in Beihai County anymore. When he left the city, he gave the order and returned directly to the camp outside the city.
What surprised him was that at the gate of the camp, he met a strong Tibetan man who took the initiative to defect to him.
"Wu Anguo has met the general!"
In the handsome tent, the tall man holding his arms in his left hand held his right hand without a palm, and said directly: "I hope the general will not despise the troubles of Anguo Dingxing!"
"You are Wu Anguo, the one who fought with Lu Bu for more than ten rounds outside Hulao Pass?"
Lei Hu had a faint smile on his face and asked curiously: "Looking at the aura on your body, it is obvious that your martial arts skills are not bad. Why didn't you leave with Kong Beihai?"
"That's right!"
Wu Anguo laughed bitterly, raised his right hand without the palm, and said with a bitter smile: "Since the battle of Hulao Pass, County Sheriff Kong has let a certain family leave the army and no longer be employed!"
Tsk!
Lei Hu shook his head slightly and sneered: "There is a general around but he doesn't know how to use it. Kong Beihai's vision is not very good. Even if you lose your right hand, you are still a general!"
Nima, can a military general who can fight with Lu Bu for more than ten rounds before having his wrists cut off and escape unharmed be an ordinary person? Looking at the entire late Han Dynasty, there are not many famous generals, right?
At least, Lei Hu didn't have anyone of Wu Anguo's level under him. Even if his right wrist was completely broken off, none of his generals could do it better than the one in front of him.
Wu Anguo remained silent. Judging from his desolate aura and ordinary clothes, it was obvious that life after being kicked out of the army by Kong Rong was not easy.
"Why do you want to join a certain family instead of taking care of the leader of Hai?"
Lei Hu went straight to the point and asked: "Someone hopes that you can answer truthfully. After all, we may all be colleagues in the future. It is not good to have a grudge in your heart!"
"General benevolence and justice!"
Wu Anguo's eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice: "After the general entered the city, he did almost nothing to the people. He was the first to attack the city wall and enter the city. Anguo admired it so much that he wanted to join the general!"
It's impossible not to join. According to the usual practice of the Yellow Turban Army, every time a place is conquered, the local people will be hijacked and used as cannon fodder at the bottom of the Yellow Turban Army.
Naturally, Wu Anguo was not willing to do this. It was not easy to escape. Mainly because of the burden of his family, he simply took the initiative to defect to a certain Yellow Turban general. Lei Hu was the best candidate for him to choose to defect to.
"Okay, with An Guo joining us, a certain family has a capable general under their command!"
Lei Hu was also unambiguous. Since Wu Anguo was so powerful that he took the initiative to join him, there was no reason why he should not refuse. He laughed and said: "A certain family is waiting to see Anguo's performance..."
