Just as Luo Yang guessed, the Yellow Turban Army, which was already on the verge of collapse, could no longer hold on after seeing the fire coming out of the mountain camp. They all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.
. And the Yellow Turban Army in the pit naturally shouted to surrender. Only Zhang Mancheng kept shouting angrily in the pit.
Unfortunately, the Yellow Turban Army is now doomed. No matter how Zhang Mancheng shouts, and even draws his sword and kills several Yellow Turban Army soldiers begging for mercy in the pit, there is still no way to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from surrendering. Knowing that there is no way back, Zhang Mancheng looks up.
He stared at the sky and shouted: "Master! My disciple is here to find you!" He swung his sword and killed himself on the spot.
The death of Zhang Mancheng caused the Yellow Turban Army to give up its last resistance. Luo Yang and Wenpin were also busy leading the officers and soldiers to collect the surrendered Yellow Turban Army. With a few hundred of them, they were really busy trying to collect tens of thousands of people.
Come. Fortunately, at this time, Liu Pi and Gong Du, who had gone around to the mountain before, also came down the mountain with their troops. After all, Liu Pi and Gong Du were once members of the Yellow Turban Army, and they were far more familiar with the Yellow Turban Army than Luo Yang and Wenpin.
With their help, all the surrendered Yellow Turban troops were finally arranged before dark.
After an inventory, during the battle at Phoenix Mountain, Luo Yang's more than 1,000 officers and soldiers lost no one, while the Yellow Turban Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the remaining 48,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers surrendered to Luo Yang's tent.
Suddenly there were so many more people, but Wenpin was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Liu Pi and Gong Du breathed a sigh of relief. Although they felt sad about the more than 2,000 people who were killed and injured, they still felt sad after all.
Saving so many people is already pretty good.
However, Luo Yang was in a very calm mood at the moment. Perhaps this was a feeling of exhaustion after the war. For today's battle, Luo Yang had racked his brains in the past few days. If he just wanted to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, Luo Yang had many ways to improve it.
A convenient method. But the problem is that this Yellow Turban Army is the capital for Luo Yang to survive in troubled times in the future. Luo Yang is reluctant to completely wipe out this army, or even suffer heavy losses.
With such concerns, Luo Yang came up with such a troublesome way. First, he tried every means to anger Zhang Mancheng, and then tried to lure Zhang Mancheng and the Yellow Turban Army out. Luo Yang knew that Zhang Mancheng knew that the officers and soldiers were all new recruits.
After that, there will definitely not be too much scruples. As long as he is slightly stimulated, Zhang Mancheng will definitely not be able to help it!
The most important thing in Luo Yang's entire plan is those big pits. Luo Yang has quietly dug out these big pits in the past few days, and then deliberately laid some covers on these big pits, and then placed some covers on these big pits.
It was covered with some large wooden boards. When Luo Yang led the officers and soldiers through, they walked on these large wooden boards, so naturally they would not fall into the big pit. After the officers and soldiers walked through the big pit, Luo Yang signaled
Wenpin took the officers and soldiers behind to drag away the big wooden planks. When the large group of people passed by, dust and smoke billowed. Zhang Mancheng and the Yellow Turban Army concentrated on chasing the officers and soldiers, and they did not pay attention to the large wooden planks dragged on the ground by the officers and soldiers.
Because the officers and soldiers had just passed by, no one would have thought that there would be problems on the ground. Luo Yang had accurately calculated the psychology of the Yellow Turban Army and plotted against them. As for the teams of Liu Pi and Gong Du, they acted as insurance.
If Luo Yang's plan fails, Liu Pi and Gong Du will directly burn all the food and grass in the Yellow Turban Army's stronghold. At that time, Luo Yang will just withdraw with his officers and soldiers. Without enough food and grass support, the huge Yellow Turban Army will definitely have to retreat.
Can't hold on before the officers and soldiers!
Of course, all of this was a worst-case scenario. Fortunately, things developed smoothly and there was no need to do this last step. On the mountain, both Liu Pi and Gong saw Luo Yang succeed at the foot of the mountain, so they put out the fire in time. This was terrible. They are all precious food and fodder!
After briefly handling all this, Luo Yang took Wenpin, Liu Pi and Gong Du to the camp on Phoenix Mountain to discuss. Luo Yang would definitely not bring so many Yellow Turban Army soldiers back to Nanyang. If Dong Zhuo or Dong Zhuo came again, With someone like Zhu Jun, wouldn't it be that the troops Luo Yang managed to acquire with such difficulty would have to be reimbursed again?
"Liu Pi! Gong Du! We can't keep all of these 40,000 people!" Luo Yang glanced at the busy people outside the military tent, turned to Liu Pi and Gong Du and said, "You are among these people. Make a selection, and only half of them can be left at most! For the rest, give them some money and let them go back to their hometowns!"
Luo Yang left this Yellow Turban Army for future battles. In the future, Luo Yang will face not only Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, but also various powerful arms. Therefore, it is impossible for Luo Yang to keep everyone, as that will not only have no effect. , but it harmed them. Only those selected from these Yellow Turbans can become an elite army after rigorous training!
Liu Pi and Gong both understood Luo Yang's thoughts and had no objections. Luo Yang continued: "I think this place is very good! After sorting it out, you can stay here for training. The food and grass in the village should be enough for you. Over a period of time! After a period of time, I will send people to bring you supplies, equipment, and weapons! All you have to do is to train here! Train these ragtag troops into a real elite army! This is related to whether we can find in the future Dong Zhuo takes revenge!"
Luo Yang mentioned Dong Zhuo just to attract Liu Pi and Gong's attention. Sure enough, when they heard Dong Zhuo's name, both Liu Pi and Gong Du's eyes turned red. They nodded vigorously, and Gong Du cupped his fists and shouted: " Lord! Don’t worry! We will definitely live up to your trust!”
Luo Yang nodded. Luo Yang was still very relieved about Liu Pi and Gong Du. Although in history, these two people were just walk-on figures, but after this period of contact, Luo Yang felt that Liu Pi was flexible and flexible. Gong Du is a calm man, and they are both rare generals. If there is any shortcoming, it is probably that their martial arts are slightly inferior. However, being a general does not just mean good martial arts. In Luo Yang's opinion, At least at this stage, both Liu Pi and Gong are more like generals than Wenpin!
Immediately afterwards, Luo Yang explained some things about training. As a special forces soldier from later generations, Luo Yang may not know much about other things, but the training methods of the army are engraved in his mind like a brand. For Luo Yang Liu Pi and Gong had never heard of these training methods. They kept them in mind and did not dare to be careless at all.
After repeating the explanation several times, Luo Yang finally handed over everything here to Liu Pi and Gong Du, and finally said: "I will also hand over these thousand people to you! After all, at the beginning, just you two I'm afraid it would be a little bit incapable for an individual to manage these tens of thousands of people! In short, I don't care what method you use, my requirements are two! First, this army must become an elite army in the future! Second, this army will become an elite force in the future. The person you are loyal to can always be me!" This second point can be said to be what Luo Yang cares about the most. He doesn't want to work hard, but he wants to make wedding clothes for others, so Luo Yang must control the ownership of this army. .
"Here!" Liu Pi and Gong Du bowed to Luo Yang again and responded. As for those officers and soldiers, Luo Yang didn't have to worry about where they were going. In fact, the real decision-maker in Nanyang City now is Luo Yang! Nanyang County Sheriff
Chu Gong had been transferred back to Luoyang half a month ago because of his meritorious service in resisting the traitors. Huang Zhong was also transferred to Xiangyang by Wang Rui, the new governor of Jingzhou, for the same reason. The new governor of Nanyang is still here.
Not yet appointed, Luo Yang, the captain, is the highest-ranking official in Nanyang County.
After the arrangements were made, Luo Yang left Fenghuang Mountain with Wenpin that day and rushed to Nanyang. Just the two of them, and the horses as their leg strength, were naturally very fast. They arrived in Nanyang in one night.
It was dawn in the city, and as soon as the city gate opened, Luo Yang and Wenpin entered the city. Fortunately, although Luo Yang was not in Nanyang City in the past few days, nothing happened in Nanyang, and everything was safe and sound.
For several days after that, Luo Yang was in the county governor's house handling the backlog of government affairs. At this time, he used his power to secretly transport a large number of weapons and armors in the Nanyang County warehouse to Phoenix Mountain. At the same time,
There was also a large amount of grain and grass transported there. Luo Yang knew that it would not be long before the world would be in chaos, and he would not know who would own Nanyang County by then. Instead of taking advantage of the princes, he might as well take advantage of this moment to feed himself.
army!
While Luo Yang secretly developed his own power in Nanyang, wars were still raging in various parts of the Central Plains. As Liu Pi analyzed Zhang Mancheng before, after Zhang Jiao's death, the remaining Yellow Turban Army fought hand in hand with Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun.
Under the attack, they retreated steadily. However, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao not only did not want to retreat from the enemy, but instead focused all their attention on fighting for the throne of the great sage left by Zhang Jiao. Taking advantage of the contradiction between the two, Huang Pu
Song directly compressed the two armies into the small Guangzong City.
In November of the first year of Zhongping, under Huang Pusong's deliberate instigation, the conflict between Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao was finally aroused, and they fought for a day and night in Guangzong City. Both sides suffered losses, but Huang Pusong took advantage of the opportunity.
Attack the city. Without any suspense, Guangzong City was destroyed. Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao died in the war. The last Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains was destroyed!
With the complete destruction of this Yellow Turban Army, it was also announced that the mighty Yellow Turban Uprising had officially failed, and the world began to enter a brief period of peace. However, all knowledgeable people in the world knew that the Han Dynasty would never be able to conquer again.
Return to the previous peace. Troubled times are really coming quietly!
