Liu Zhang was marching towards Yingchuan with 2,100 people. Thinking of what happened three days ago, Liu Zhang still felt itching with hatred.
When Huang Zhong and others selected the soldiers and went to collect the military horse equipment, the arsenal personnel told them that the arsenal was now empty and they could not collect so much equipment, and there were no horses at all.
Is there really none? Of course not. No matter how empty the arsenal is, can it be so small that it cannot equip a team of 2,000 people?
Because Xu You was causing trouble! Liu Zhang knew it and went to He Jin to discuss it.
He Jin cried and complained that the soldiers of the three armies had emptied their arsenals during the expedition, and even the left and right Yulin armies were seriously short of weapons and equipment.
Of course Liu Zhang knew this was bullshit. The equipment of the Royal Forest Army was all newly replaced, and anyone who was not blind could see it.
Liu Zhang worked hard and finally got some shabby equipment and fifty bad horses.
The weapons of the more than two thousand officers and soldiers were all kinds of. Those holding knives, swords, halberds, and guns. Some even held wooden sticks. Their armor was even more tattered.
If you say this is a regular army of the imperial court, absolutely no one will believe it. If you say it is a Yellow Turban rebel with a yellow scarf on your head, no one will doubt it.
What made Liu Zhang most angry was that he was only given more than a hundred broken bows. Liu Zhang tried it and broke one. There were only a few hundred arrows.
Alas, Liu Zhang walked and sighed all the way.
It is impossible to realize the scene of conquering all directions with great vigor and arrogance, where thieves are rewarded and accepted wherever they go.
If Huang Zhong and others had not led the troops well and had good morale, they would have been unable to reach Yingchuan and the entire battalion would have dispersed!
Fortunately, Liu Zhang and his four men were fully armed, and there was no hope of making any use of the equipment as it was all provided by Liu Yan.
The four men in armor were even more majestic, especially Dian Wei, who was dressed in black armor and looked like an iron tower. Two large halberds were hung on the horses (Liu Zhang had already made a new iron halberd for Dian Wei in Luoyang).
Huang Zhong is wearing yellow armor, sparkling in the sun. The sun-chasing bow is hung under the horse, and the thick bow string makes people dizzy!
This is the four-stone bow that Liu Yan spent a lot of money to buy when he was in Jizhou!
Taishi Ci once tried shooting and was able to shoot arrows, but the effect was not as powerful as the three-stone bow. Apparently it was due to lack of arm strength.
Taishi Ci was dressed in silver robes and armor, holding a spear, and looked very heroic.
The most dazzling one is Liu Zhang, who is dressed in golden armor and is extremely dazzling.
Liu Zhang didn't want to be so high-profile, but he couldn't defeat Liu Yan.
Liu Yan said that this was an ancestral armor and it was very strong. Liu Zhang had no choice but to agree.
He was already tall and muscular. After wearing the golden armor, he became even more powerful.
Liu Yan also paid for the four horses. Although the four horses are not BMWs, they are the best war horses that Luoyang City can find.
Four horses and three sets of armor almost killed Liu Yan.
Whenever night approached, Liu Zhang would set up camp and never march at night.
When he led the troops in battle for the first time, Liu Zhang was extremely cautious. He never marched in a hurry and maintained a speed of forty miles a day.
The soldiers were improvised and the equipment was poor, so one can imagine the morale.
More than two thousand people are a drop in the bucket for the current Yingchuan battlefield, let alone these "remnants".
If Liu Zhang rushed to Huangfu Song now, he might be disliked.
After setting up camp, everyone gathered in Liu Zhang's tent.
"Han Sheng, if he encounters the Yellow Turban Army, will he be able to fight?"
"My Lord, if we encounter a small group of Yellow Turbans, we will fight to the death or fight. If we encounter a large group of soldiers..."
Huang Zhong looked helpless and did not say anything further, believing that everyone would understand.
Liu Zhang knew that what Huang Zhong said was pleasant. If the generals leading the army were not brave men, they would have absolutely no fighting power.
"Hey, damn Xu You, ignorant He Jin!"
"Lord, it's useless to curse Xu You to death now."
Taishi Ci saw Liu Zhang's depressed expression and spoke to comfort him.
"Lord, we might as well speed up our march to General Huangfu's army."
Liu Zhang shook his head and rejected Tai Shici's proposal.
"Such remnants of the army will definitely drag down the morale of the army! Huangfu Song won't accept them at all. He has to find a way on his own."
"My lord, don't worry. If you encounter a yellow turban, I will stand up against him personally."
Liu Zhang felt a little relieved when he looked at Dian Wei who was steadfast in his vow.
"I know evil and am brave, but a person's power is ultimately limited."
Liu Zhang thought for a while, looked at the crowd and said:
"We don't have to rush to the main battlefield. First, our morale is low and our soldiers have no fighting spirit. Second, the time has not come yet."
Liu Zhang was familiar with history. The key to the Battle of Yingchuan was that Zhu Jun was defeated and Bocai besieged Changshe.
"Han Sheng, select fifty able men from among the guards and distribute the horses. Fifteen of them will go to Nanyang to inquire, fifteen will go to Yingchuan to inquire, and the remaining twenty will inquire about the situation of the Yellow Turbans along our march route."
"promise."
"Now that the Yellow Turban Army is everywhere, I plan to fight and train soldiers while walking."
"I'm afraid we will have fewer and fewer soldiers."
"Soldiers value elites rather than numbers. Although there are many Yellow Turbans, they are just a mob. If we get more than a thousand elite soldiers through this training, no one will dare to underestimate us."
"promise."
Seeing that Liu Zhang had made up his mind, everyone said no more and chose to carry out the order.
Liu Zhang had selfish motives. He had never been on the battlefield. In his two lifetimes, he had never killed anyone on his own initiative.
Although I killed a tiger in this life, it was still with the help of Taishi Ci.
Liu Zhang could no longer imagine the purgatory scene of mutilated limbs. Being in the military camp, the sense of oppression had already hit him.
The battlefield is definitely not what he imagined. It is a real life and death situation.
In this way, Liu Zhang and others marched slower and often turned elsewhere.
