Chapter One Hundred and Sixth Attack
Under Zhang Tong's organization, the team quickly re-launched. With about one-tenth of the wind cavalry in the team, the style of this quarantine army changed immediately, giving people a feeling of decisiveness, and this change also made the Han army even more nervous.
The more the Yellow Turban Army seemed anxious to rush to the Han army camp, the more the Han army believed that the food in Zhang Bao camp was tight and needed emergency support. Then the Han army's strategic willingness to intercept them became stronger.
However, Yan Liang's embarrassing appearance surprised Wen Chou, Pan Feng and Zhang He. There were actually a large number of talismans and crossbows in the Han army's grain transport team.
In this case, it is not so easy to fight by relying on cavalry alone. Infants must be arranged in a row to block their advance teams to prevent them from continuing to move forward.
Therefore, the news was quickly passed to the Han army camp by them.
"Several division of troops?" Cao Cao frowned after hearing the news from the front.
He originally had only 20,000 infantry in his hands. These days, he attacked the Han army camp, and all his infantrymen were the main force. He had consumed five or six thousand. If he had divided a few thousand more, his troops would be less than ten thousand. You know, there were 100,000 Yellow Turban Thieves in Zhangbao's camp opposite!
What if someone pushes it with ten times the force! How many thousands of people will resist it?
"Zhang Bao transferred all the elite troops to Handan. There were no elite troops in the camp that attacked the outside world. If they divided five thousand troops, they could cut off the supply line for delivering food to the camp. In just two or three days, Zhang Bao's camp will be in chaos. We have four, no, three cavalry outside, and they will be in chaos." Yuan Shao said to Cao Cao.
Yan Liang was injured and had returned to the camp to cultivate. The cavalry led by his subordinates were also allocated to Wen Chou by Yuan Shao.
"There are less than 10,000 people in the camp. If the opponent calls..."
"When we send a few cavalry out, all of them are blocking their food team? In fact, Wen Chou and Zhang He have been within 30 miles of Zhang Bao's camp. They have cleared their scouts and isolated them from the outside world. They can raid them when they attack at any time. How dare they attack the camp?" Yuan Shao interrupted Cao Cao when hesitated.
In fact, the result of Yuan Shao asking Zhou Ling and others to divine was a bad omen, which made him realize that if he did nothing, he would have wrong results, but he didn't expect that if he did too much, it might not be right.
Cao Cao seemed to be right when he heard Yuan Shao's words. Although he was hesitant, he nodded and agreed to Yuan Shao's suggestion, asking Cao Ren to order five thousand troops, prepare enough shields and spears, and lead the army to intercept the Yellow Turban Army's grain transport team, and he strengthened the fortifications in the camp.
He always felt that constantly dividing troops might be a wrong choice, and it might be a strategy of Huo Hai.
However, he had to do so.
"When will General Zhu arrive?" Cao Cao asked the captain of his subordinate scout camp after Cao Ren set out.
"According to the march route, it may be two days before we can get to the Yellow Turban Thiefs' grain station outside Handan City." The captain replied.
"How is General Huangfu's siege?" Cao Cao asked again.
"The strategy of defending the city in Guangzong City seems to be getting more and more organized. General Huangfu's daily casualties are increasing, and there is no sign of breaking the city." The captain replied again.
"It's getting more and more organized?" Cao Cao frowned, and his feelings became even worse.
But he had no choice but to report as much of the situation here to Huangfu Song as possible.
As anxious as him were Zixu and Li Yi from Yecheng, because since Cao Cao divided his troops to block the grain transport team, the Han army actually had a defeat.
"There is a fierce evil coming from the north. Could it be that the man transferred the main force of Heishan Village over?" Zixu frowned.
Li Yi nodded and said, "It should be like this. That man never sticks to some kind of military tactics. Even hundreds of people dare to attack tens of thousands of troops, and he makes every effort to give up the strong Black Mountain Village to take the initiative. What's impossible?"
Guan Lu frowned and said, "What should we do? Watch the Han army be defeated?"
Zixu shook his head and said, "Even if the Han army is defeated, there will be two retreat routes in Yecheng and Handan. Even if the Yellow Turban Army wins, it will only last until winter begins. The general trend has not changed. Therefore, what we are still planning to change that person's fortune. How to fight with that person and let Wu Kui make decisions by himself. We only need to start by changing that person's fortune and create opportunities for Wu Kui. Now it seems that we still have too little understanding of him."
Li Yi nodded in agreement, "It is necessary to send someone to get close to him and collect more information."
"You have sneaked into the Heishan Village to observe that person, but you find out what weaknesses he has?" Zixu asked Li Yi.
"Are you weak? Actually, there are many. That person seems to treat everyone equally and no distinction between high and low. He usually visits any workshop, construction site, and never wary of the maids and servants around him." Li Yi recalled what he saw in the few days in Heishan Village.
"This is easy to arrange." Zixu said, touching his beard.
"What should we do now?" Guan Lu looked at the two and asked.
"When the man returned to the army to fight with the Han army, he notified all the families in the city to harvest all the grain into the warehouse, and ensured that the general trend remained unchanged, which was the right way." Li Yi said.
Zixu nodded and waved his hand. A disciple of his disciple immediately turned around and went out to do business.
"In addition, we also need to cut off his ties with several merchant families and prevent him from continuously purchasing war preparation supplies such as war horses, horns and oxen tendons from the grassland." Li Yi said again.
Why are there so many crossbows in Heishan Village?
Because they pulled back the entire vehicle from the grassland, the ox horn bow, they wanted to make as many as they wanted, the ox tendon crossbow or the long bow of the ox tendon string, they wanted to make as many as they wanted to make.
Zixu nodded again, and picked up his pen and wrote the letter. After writing it, he handed it over to his disciples to do it.
"There is another question. Should we stop the imperial court from recruiting peace, or support the imperial court?" Li Yi was a little confused and looked at Zixu and Guan Lu.
"According to the great fortune, the Han Dynasty should be able to survive for more than 30 years. Only by asking him to recruit peace would he follow the heavens. In this way, we will have more than 30 years to change his luck and eventually kill him." Zixu said.
"But, can he stay honestly under the court system?" Guan Lu asked again.
"Didn't I just said it? He has many weaknesses and is easy to start from the nearest point. How can we let him live until he influences the imperial system?" Zi Xu said with a smirk.
Speaking of this, Li Yi also felt that letting the court recruit peace may be able to better deal with Huo Hai. At that time, if he is allowed to become an official in Luoyang, will he not go?
Once you leave the Heishan Village army, will it be easier to kill him?
A series of plans began to emerge under the planning of the three people, but Huo Hai, who was unaware of it, had already led the army to avoid the patrol circle of Wen Chou and Zhang He and came to the west of Guangzong City to join with other armies.
That night, Zhang Ning led three hundred cavalrymen wrapped in linen with horse hooves in front. Two hundred infantrymen holding shields in one hand and holding the spear of brothers in front of him quietly walked out of Guangzong City.
In less than an hour, they met with Huo Hai.
"Pan Feng and Cao Ren took 6,000 siege cavalry to attack the grain transport brigade. Our first battle is to eat their share." Huo Hai looked at Zhang Ning, who was in good condition.
"Pan Feng, Cao Ren." Zhang Ning frowned.
These two are not easy to deal with, especially Pan Feng, who has the peak of internal strength and is born with divine power. With him rushing to the formation, it is difficult for him to resist.
"Don't worry, with the talisman arrow crossbow and the talisman formation, no matter how fierce a person is, he has to kneel down when he encounters our military formation." Huo Hai said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ning became even more surprised and asked, "Where did the talisman crossbow come from?"
"After an hour, there will be three thousand cavalry and five hundred talisman crossbowmen to meet with us." Huo Hai smiled.
Although there were five thousand infantrymen this time, there were three thousand people who could ride horses. It took them four or five days to travel five or six hundred miles. They had a leisurely journey, and they arrived in three days. What they were carrying were good things mass-produced from the workshop of Heishan Village, especially this kind of talisman crossbow that could cause damage to the generals, which could greatly make up for the shortcomings of Heishan Village in high-end martial arts.
However, although there are many such crossbows, there are few arrow branches with talisman power. Even though Ge Xuan has made it day and night, due to the limitation of materials, the number of talisman arrows produced is only two or three thousand. The grain transport team has allocated more than one thousand. Here, each talisman arrow crossbowman has only three talisman arrows.
With the 20,000 Yellow Turban infantry who had ambushed Gongsun Zan, and with the absolute advantage in numbers, the chances of winning this battle are quite high.
Less than an hour after dawn, the infantry brigade of Heishan Village did ride to the location of Huo Hai and Zhang Ning. Huo Hai only needed to calculate the location of Cao Ren's marching time to roughly calculate the location of Cao Ren's army. Zuo Ci, who took another half an hour to determine their specific location. Then, a dungeon talisman was drawn by him and arranged on the necessary path for Cao Ren's army.
The attack power of this kind of talisman is not large, but it can continuously block people.
"March twenty miles in a hurry to prepare for battle."
After Huo Hai received Zuo Ci's reply, he immediately gave an order and led more than 3,000 cavalry who had joined him to set off. The Yellow Turban Army, who had been resting for more than 20,000 for two hours, did not think there was any problem with this military order.
In the past, they did not have the habit of running twenty miles, but now it is different. They know that the Black Mountain Army is a subject that must be trained every morning. After running ten kilometers, they will start practicing assassination and fighting skills. After practicing, they will practice the army formation again. Ten kilometers can only be regarded as a warm-up exercise for their daily training.
