"Today I will briefly explain the form of the world."
"The world today is divided into the Han Dynasty and our Qin Dynasty!"
"Among them, the Han Dynasty has the advantage and the Qin Dynasty has the disadvantage. However, the situation will change soon. Let's talk about the current situation first."
"After the Battle of Changshe, the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains was almost abolished. It could only defend the city but had no way to change the situation."
"But as long as they are alive for one day, they can attract the attention of the Han army. Because that is the Central Plains, not far from Luoyang!"
"And we want to make changes, the only way is to take action..."
…
Outside Guangzong City, as soon as the sky cleared, Bai Qi left Guangzong City with more than 20,000 soldiers who had passed the test of spiritual will and 10,000 yellow scarf warriors, without any cover-up.
The so-called Yellow Turban Warriors are actually an army composed of those who have been well fed, clothed and trained in martial arts since childhood. They have both faith and excellent personal qualities.
Their main source is the heroes from the land of Yanzhao. There have been many heroes in the land of Yanzhao since ancient times. They have the habit of practicing martial arts since childhood, and their martial arts style is very strong.
The entire Han Dynasty was adept at martial arts, but how many heroes did the imperial court absorb from the people every year? Very few, not even a thousand!
This also resulted in many martial arts practitioners having no place to use their skills. Without connections, they could not go to the Central Forbidden Army, and they would not have much luck if they went to serve as soldiers in local places.
The imperial court didn’t want us, but the Yellow Turbans wanted us. What should we do? Then we joined Taiping Road.
Ten thousand well-trained Yellow Turban warriors are nothing to the imperial court, and they are nothing to counties and prefectures. But for county towns and wealthy landowners in the countryside, ten thousand Yellow Turban warriors are a disaster.
symbol of.
"Just a few supplies?" After listening to Liao Hua's report, Zhang Yan shook her head dissatisfied, and then glanced at Bai Qi, who was sitting motionless in the corner. Unfortunately, he didn't see anything.
"It's quite a lot. This is enough for three thousand stones of food, which is enough for us to eat for a while. And this is just a threat. We got so much food in vain without any casualties. Brother Feiyan, you are really amazing!"
Liao Hua was so excited that he didn't even know where to put his hands.
He used to be a serious farmer, but then he encountered a severe drought, and his farm income became less and less year by year. By the time he reached adulthood, his parents had died of illness and starvation, and almost all of his farm property had been sold.
Later, I joined Taiping Road, and my life was just like that. I could eat enough, but where had I seen so much food?
"There are six counties and 43 townships in the surrounding area. Each township has at least one local tyrant with a total population of over one million. With such a large population and such a large territory, they only gave us 3,000 shi of food. They want us not to
It’s such a beautiful idea to fight them!”
"And even though they are very good now, it is the result of the intimidation of the army. When the Han army comes, they will actively join the Han army and become enemies."
"We must not let them go just because of their petty gains. It's either us or the enemy, it's that simple!" Zhang Yan said firmly.
"I think we can attack Liujiazhuang during this trip." Zhang Yan continued, and then looked at Bai Qi who was sitting aside. However, Bai Qi didn't say anything and just sat here, but even so, Zhang Yan felt confident.
A lot.
"Liujiazhuang? Isn't that the largest village in the neighborhood?"
"Yes, I heard that there are people there, and they have at least twenty places for the imperial army every year. They have been practicing martial arts since they were young. Although it is just a village in name, it is actually a township with a population of tens of thousands. It is not easy to fight!
"
"They also built forts, all made of stone. They stocked a large number of bows, arrows, spears, and swords. Except for armor and crossbows, which were banned by the imperial court, they had everything else."
"With a population of tens of thousands, there are at least thousands of strong men, and they have all been practicing martial arts since childhood. Didn't Mr. Xiang say that when defending their hometown, these strong men have an extremely strong will to fight? Such a battle is not easy to fight."
"No, Liujiazhuang is the strongest, but after we defeat it, we will definitely gain the most."
"That's right. After the Liujiazhuang is captured, there is no need to attack other nearby villages. Food, property, and even strong men will be automatically sent to them."
"Then how should we attack it? I have seen the forts there. They are all made of stone. Tens of thousands of people have huddled inside. There is also a large amount of food stored. There are already wells, so they cannot be dug down."
"There is no shortage of food, no shortage of water, and there are a lot of bows, arrows, and weapons. It's hard to fight, it's hard to fight!"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Bai Qi did not make any comments, nor did he directly say who was right or wrong. Thinking is very important, and thinking alone is necessary for any qualified general.
Now restricted by the world itself, Da Qin's elite officers cannot survive, so they have to make ends meet. Fighting is actually not that difficult even if Bai Qi fails.
Teach them first, there will always be a few teachable talents.
"This is Liujiazhuang's Wubao. All the information is on it. The rest will be left to you."
Everyone turned around and realized that at some point, a complete sand table had appeared here. The proportions and sizes looked exactly the same as the real one.
"Is this a crenel opening? It's used for placing hidden arrows?"
"This is an internal reservoir. Rainwater is stored in advance to prevent fire attacks!"
"This is a granary. There are more than one granary, there are six of them!"
"What is this? Why does it look like it's deep underground?"
"This should be where the money is hidden!"
"What about this line?"
"Let me think about it. Mr. Bai seems to have said, let me think about it..."
"Oh, I know, this is a secret passage!"
"How does Mr. Bai know this? Everyone in the Liu Family Village seems to have no secrets from him. Is this the legendary military secret method, the art of seeing and hearing from heaven and earth?"
"Sir, this is Mr. Wu An. If the military strategist really has the art of seeing the sky and the earth and listening, wouldn't it be strange if he doesn't know how to do it? And maybe we can learn it too!"
…
An hour passed slowly.
If you stand in the sky, you will find that about half an hour ago, the bell in the center of Liujiazhuang was suddenly rung, and then the people who were farming outside returned to Wubao with their farm tools in hand.
The people living in Zhuangzi also hurriedly hid the good things at home, and finally rushed to Wubao with the most valuable kitchen knives or iron pots.
As for the things at home, the size of Wubao is limited, so it’s good to have people alive!
"We are from Taiping Dao. The people in the village listen carefully, quickly open the gate and surrender, and obey the management of Taiping Dao. In this way, the army will not commit any crime! Otherwise, when the army breaks through the door, there will be no resentment in life or death!"
"Taiping Dao thieves, please listen carefully. Our Liujiazhuang has a very close relationship with the imperial government and the army. Among them, there are twenty-five village commanders, six military commanders, and the one with the highest official position is the Imperial Guard.
The captain of the school! All these big shots are from our Liujiazhuang. If you are sensible, please retreat quickly, otherwise hehehehe!"
Having said this, the owner of the village with an eight-foot waist drew a strong bow, aimed at the envoy of the Yellow Turban Army who was shouting below, and shot an arrow in front of him!
"You are causing trouble. You just took out some food and money to say some nice things and asked them to retreat. Why do you have to provoke them?" an elderly man said anxiously.
"Hey, Third Uncle, you are just too conservative. You are just a Yellow Turban thief. What do you have to be afraid of? There are so many of us, even if we come with 10,000 troops, we won't be able to defeat them within a few months."
"Unless they have complete siege equipment, where did the Yellow Turbans get so many great craftsmen to produce siege equipment? Even if they did, they would have already gone to attack the county town. Who would care about our little village?" the owner of the village shot.
He patted his exposed belly and said with a smile.
"Hey, I know you are reluctant to part with food and money, but have you ever thought about it, if the Yellow Turban Army really rushes to attack Wubao, who will be the one who dies?"
"Almost everyone present is Liu. They are all related. We can be said to be one family. Do you want to see every family wearing mourning? Besides, even if we defeat them, will the imperial court still give us military merit?
"
"Hahaha, uncle, you are just too careful. They were a group of farmers a few months ago and just put down their hoes. Who are our opponents? Look, aren't they retreating now?"
The Yellow Turban Army outside the city began to change their formations after the envoy returned. In the eyes of the village owner, this was undoubtedly a precursor to the withdrawal.
One hundred people form a unit, and a total of 10,000 yellow turban warriors were divided into a hundred square formations by Zhang Yan. Some square formations were mainly made up of large shields and armored soldiers, and they were all wearing armor, which was extremely protective. Some square formations were
Mainly strong crossbows.
Under Zhang Yan's mobilization, ten strong crossbow phalanxes gathered together.
Time is limited and manpower is limited, so the powerful crossbow used by the army is not the latest version of the Qin Shihuang 20 years ago, but the more traditional Qianzhang crossbow, which has been slightly improved, has a longer range, is more powerful, and is more labor-saving.
There are two types of crossbows, one is powered by the waist and the other is powered by the knees. The former is a strong crossbow and the latter is a weak crossbow.
When using this kind of crossbow, soldiers will step on the corresponding position with both feet, using the strength of their whole body to fully exert its power.
A thousand soldiers suddenly fell to the ground together, using their legs to exert force. Seeing this scene, the tall and round owner of the village directly rubbed his eyes!
"Hahaha, you're laughing so hard! That's two hundred steps away. Where did the Yellow Turban Army get so many crossbows? Are you trying to scare us? Even a five-stone crossbow cannot be this big.
Power! It's done this time!" The owner of the village shouted loudly, patting his belly.
In fact, this was a little trick he used to cheer people up. When he talked and laughed like this, the strong men around him also laughed, and the pressure disappeared unconsciously.
The third uncle on the side suddenly rolled on the spot and rolled under the stone wall on the side. He casually took a three-inch thick wooden shield and placed it on the left and right sides of the stone wall to protect himself tightly.
"put!"
Zhang Yan suddenly shouted loudly, and then Zhou Cang on the side banged the gongs and drums fiercely. With a clang, he heard a familiar command, and ten phalanxes were launched at the same time.
