Yang family and Xiaquyang are both under the jurisdiction of Julu County, and the two counties are adjacent to each other, less than a hundred miles apart. The whole army set out after dark, with Zhang Jiao leading a group of people and horses at the front, and Wenyuan leading a group of people and horses at the rear to support them.
, three hundred archers in the middle, Zhang Yu led the heavy troops and pulled hundreds of empty carts at the end.
A group of men and horses tied their horses to their mouths. After leaving the camp under the night, they did not go south directly. They first walked westward for thirty miles and secretly headed south along the county boundary. The place where the two counties met was sparsely populated, making it easier to hide their whereabouts.
In addition, Wenyuan will also release all the scouts in his hand and spread them around the brigade. If there is any abnormal movement, the brigade can respond in time.
By putting the soldiers in civilian clothes and letting the troops operate in such a secretive way, Wenyuan did not intend to launch an attack openly and openly, but adopted a night attack method. After all, this was the first time for his new recruits to engage in actual combat. Wenyuan did not want to do it again.
One battle resulted in heavy casualties.
Of course, Wen Yuan also wanted to achieve another goal. The three-month defense period agreed between him and Han Fu was approaching. If Julu was suddenly plundered by the Black Mountain Army, and the location was the Yang family, which was less than a hundred miles away from Xiaquyang,
In that case, could Wen Yuan be alone and not even go to Ye County to see Han Fu on the grounds that the rebels were invading the country and the troops could not leave the defense line without authorization?
Thinking of this, Wen Yuan's lips showed a slight smile. Thinking that he would not have to stay in Yecheng and be directly under Han Fu's control, the heavy burden on his heart was finally relieved a little.
And how much can you gain from this trip?
After a month of training, the marching speed of the soldiers was absolutely unparalleled. They could march two hundred miles a day. After three months of hard training and eating and drinking every day, Wenyuan's soldiers were all strong.
Like calves, they now take off their training earth bags, each of them is as light as a swallow, and their legs are full of wind.
After traveling for more than three hours, the shadow of Yangjiawu Fort was already faintly visible in the dark night.
Wen Yuan tightened his collar, called a guard and whispered: "Give me the order, the whole army will rest and eat on the spot, and start the attack in half an hour. Tell Zhang Zha that he will only be given an hour to take Wubao."
Down!"
During the Chou period, that is, from 1 to 3 o'clock in the morning, there were no entertainment programs at that time. The common people went to bed early. Those slaves who did not have enough to eat and did not wear warm clothes had no choice but to sleep after a hard day's work.
, so that their hesitant hearts can be somewhat settled.
Yang DaDa was very happy tonight. He squinted his eyes and sang a song, and drank the hot wine one sip at a time.
Yang DaDa’s surname is Yang, but his given name is not DaDa. He is originally a branch of the Yang family. When he was a child, he peeked at the eldest daughter’s bath, so he was given the nickname Bold by a group of friends. Because of the habit of calling him Bold, he gradually disappeared even by his real name.
used.
Because he was a relative of the Yang family and he was strong, the patriarch ordered him to be in charge of a private army, patrolling and standing guard every day, beating humble slaves, teasing and teasing girls from tenant families, and his life was easy.
.
A few days ago, Yang DaDang fell in love with a daughter from a tenant farmer's family. She came to visit her several times but she refused. It happened to be the time when the government imposed a poll tax at the end of the year and the tenant had no money. Today he came to Yang DaDang to beg Yang DaDang and agreed to sell his daughter to Yang DaDang.
As a concubine, I exchanged money and gave it to the government.
Tonight, it was his turn to patrol the west wall of the fort. He said he was patrolling, but in fact he just stayed in the watchtower on the fort and slept all night. In the past, Yang boldly heard from the elders in the clan that since the Yang family fort was built, there has been no improvement.
Even when the Yellow Turban riots were at their worst, the three brothers of the Zhang family passed by Yangjiabao with their troops, but they did not send any troops to attack.
At first, Yang DaDaFang thought that this Yang Family Fort was a geomantic treasure, blessed by gods. Later, he found out that it was someone outside our old Yang family! They were also doing business without capital. They were doing business with Yellow Turban, Black Mountain and several other stocks.
Big bandits all have friendships, so despite the recent fierce banditry in Jizhou, no one dares to touch a brick in Yangjiabao!
Therefore, Yang Dadao calmly drank the wine, climbed into the watchtower, and began to have sweet dreams in front of the hot fire.
However, because he drank too much, Yang DaDa was awakened by the urge to urinate in the middle of the night. He was extremely reluctant to put on his clothes and walked out in a daze.
"Hiss!" As soon as he came out of the watchtower, Yang Dadan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He didn't run far and stood at the door facing the outside of the fort wall.
It was already December. Although it had not yet snowed, the wind had started to blow since midnight, and the cold wind was blowing like a knife. It was okay to hide in the watchtower and light a stove.
When the cold wind blew, it suddenly felt like a piece of ice had been stuffed into his clothes. After a while, Yang Dandao was trembling all over.
Yang Budao inadvertently glanced around the dark surroundings, and vaguely felt a few figures climbing under the fortress wall over there. At first, Yang Dadao thought that he was dazzled by drinking too much. How could he be so stupid in the twelfth month of winter?
The thief came out to move in such a cold weather. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but no, those figures seemed to have seen him and were walking towards him step by step.
Yang boldly shouted: "Hey! Stop! Where did you come from? You dare to come to Yangjiapu to run wild, and you are not afraid of destroying your own lives!"
Unexpectedly, several figures were unmoved and approached him step by step. Yang Dangdang panicked and stepped back step by step. It may be because of fear or because of the cold. After shouting, his teeth chattered. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop.
Don't make a sound.
"Big...big...bold!" He finally choked out a sentence, and Yang boldly even saw the man's beard and a sharp sword in his hand!
"No! It's not a thief! This is a sword! Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!" Yang Dadan's heart was like a thousand horses galloping at this time. He already understood everything, but the cold blade was approaching inch by inch, and he was so helpless.
Don't speak!
"Remember this for me when I get to the underworld. I'm not a thief. My surname is Jiao, and my name is Jiao Chu!" The man with a beard said in a dark voice, and then the sword flashed!
"Ah!" The shrill shout shook the surrounding area, and dogs barked rapidly from far and near. Several residents inside and outside Wubao were awakened by the shout and had already turned on their lights.
He opened his jaw anxiously and looked at the dark fortress wall a mile away. Behind him was a group of his own infantry. Dozens of their personal guards and three hundred archers were all transferred by Wen Yuan to command him.
The only thing is to go all out and capture Wubao in one fell swoop.
Jiao Chu led a group of soldiers to touch it for a stick of incense. It seemed that the guards had been alerted, but no signal was sent out. He tightened the gun in his hand and thought to himself: "I can't wait any longer. Once
The defenders in Wubao are alert, the casualties will be huge!"
As soon as he thought of this, he opened his jaw, pointed the tip of his spear, and shouted loudly: "Raise the fire! The whole army attacks! Capture Wubao!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" The troops lit hundreds of torches and shouted in unison! Shouting, they rushed towards the fortress wall!
The silent night was suddenly covered up by huge shouts of killing, and many disciples and tenants who woke up from their sleep let out bursts of panicked cries! At this moment, an exciting horn sound suddenly sounded from the fort wall!
I was overjoyed when I heard the trumpet with my jaw open! I shouted the order: "Charge! The cavalry is patrolling in all directions! Archers occupy the fort wall. Leave fifty halberdiers at each gate to guard. No one can be released. The rest will follow me and rush into the fort. If there are any resisters, kill them!"
!”
Wang Li led dozens of mounted guards to shout and rushed towards Wubao, shouting in unison along the way: "People, don't panic! Our Black Mountain army is only here to break Wubao! We will never harm innocent people! Please close the door tightly."
!Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!”
Many panicked people were carrying large and small bags and were fleeing outside. They heard the shouts of the guards! They hurriedly ran into the house again. A few people who had not turned around fled in all directions and were immediately chased by several guards.
Go ahead and kill them one by one on the spot!
"The people should stay at home and stop moving. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Jiao led the troops quickly, shouting loudly. In a moment, they were under the fort wall. At this time, they saw that the fort gate had been opened, and Jiao was standing in front of him.
He led a group of infantry and fought fiercely with the private soldiers in the fort!
"Charge! Rush in!" He opened his jaw, pointed the tip of his spear, and rushed into the fort first. Jiao Chu was in the middle of a fierce fight with a private soldier leader. He opened his jaw quickly, and he arrived in a blink of an eye. He shouted: "Thief general, accept it."
Life is coming!" With just one shot, the leader put his hands on his throat and fell down on his back.
