"Huh..." Gai Jun suddenly kicked his legs and sat up, with sweat on his forehead. He had this dream again. For ten days, for ten days, every night when he closed his eyes, he would dream of the Yellow Turban soldiers throwing themselves into the river to die.
A scene. Since Gai Jun entered the pass, he has experienced hundreds of battles and encountered many large-scale annihilation battles in which hundreds of thousands of enemies were killed, but none of them touched his heart like this. This gave rise to a trace of resentment towards Huangfu Song. At that time
As long as he said that those who surrender will avoid death, even if they can't make everyone surrender, they can always save thousands of lives. However, Huangfu Song said nothing and his eyes were stern.
Gai Jun rubbed his temples and called out in a loud voice: "Gongshu... Ling Ming..."
"Brother-in-law, you're awake..." Bian Bing opened the door and entered.
"Sima..." Pang Defan also came in.
"Well, help me put on the armor." Gai Jun put on his shoes and sat down, opening his arms. Bian Bing and Pang De came up, put a piece of exquisite fish scale armor on his body, arranged the armor skirt and shoulders, and tightened the armor.
body.
Gai Yin came in and said: "Uncle Xiaozu, Huangfu Zhonglang calls you..."
Gai Jun frowned slightly and nodded. When he arrived at Huangfu Song's tent, many generals arrived one step ahead. Everyone was in a good mood and gathered in twos and threes to laugh and chat. It's no wonder that Zhang Jiao's body was found, and Huangfu Song ordered the coffin to be broken and killed.
The corpse was cut off and sent to Luoyang in Kyoto to repay his merits. Although there were more than ten thousand Zhang Bao's thieves in the next song, it had nothing to do with the overall situation. This time, Taipingdao, the largest rebellion since Shizu Guangwu, was put down, and everyone was indispensable.
benefit.
"Captain Gai..."
"Your Majesty..."
"Gai Shehu..."
Facing the generals' greetings, Gai Jun nodded with a smile, sat down in front of a table and poured himself a glass of wine.
As all the attendees arrived, Huangfu Song entered the tent accompanied by his nephew, chief minister, and assistant officials.
"Huangfu Zhonglang..."
"Huangfu Zhonglang..."
Huangfu Song motioned for everyone to sit down and asked with a smile: "Have you rested well for the past three days?"
Everyone answered yes.
Huangfu Song continued: "There are still hundreds of thousands of Zhang Bao's thieves in the next song. Only by capturing and killing this thief will we be able to count the full merit."
Everyone thinks so.
"The unparalleled achievements are right in front of you, please work hard."
"Nuo." What is an unparalleled achievement? It means that not every generation can encounter it. Thinking of this, the hearts of the generals are burning.
The army set out in mid-October. October was the transition between autumn and winter. After mid-term, the weather became cooler day by day. Huangfu Song made up his mind to put down the rebellion before winter came.
Feng Yi, the governor of Julu, and 40,000 soldiers from all the counties in Jizhou dug deep trenches and turned Xiqu into a turtle in a urn. Xiqu was about to run out of food, and only the soldiers could eat half full. However, in fact, it was the soldiers who took back the food they had obtained.
The family allows their relatives to eat, while they defend the city with hungry stomachs. One can imagine their fighting power.
At the end of October, the army arrived at Xiaqu and met up with Feng Yi, the prefect of Julu. Huangfu Song learned about the situation in Xiaqu and immediately attacked the city after a day's rest. Xiaqu is adjacent to the branches of the Hutuo River and Zhangshui River in the north. Huangfu Song ordered Feng Yi, the prefect of Julu, to attack the city.
Guard the west and lead your troops to surround the east and south.
Gai Jun was hiding far behind and had no intention of participating in the battle. Firstly, all his troops were cavalry and were not good at attacking cities. Secondly, after a series of battles, less than a thousand were intact and only 1,700 were left including the wounded. Among them, there were only 1,700 injured.
Including dozens of disabled people.
Huangfu Song said calmly: "Jian Shou, beat the drum and start attacking the city."
"No." Huangfu Zuo waved the flag to the drummer, and the thunderous drum beat came out, loud and slow.
Thousands of siege warriors moved forward step by step to the beat of drums. When they reached three hundred steps, the yellow turban soldiers on the city began to shoot. Thousands of long arrows came quickly. The Han soldiers hid themselves under their shields as much as possible, listening to the arrows.
The muffled sound of the numerous hits on the shield and the miserable screams of his companions made me feel extremely depressed. The Han army's bow and crossbow skills were invincible. There was only one situation where they would be temporarily at a disadvantage, and that was to attack the city.
After more than ten rounds of arrows, the Han army advanced a hundred steps outside the city. In an instant, drums beat loudly, and there was a wave of killing shouts. Huangfu Li raised his sword and shouted: "Look up...the front row will shoot at the forehead...the middle row will shoot at the eye level."
Shoot...shoot up the nose from the back row..."
The bowstrings screamed suddenly, and the arrows were like locusts, leaping onto the battlements, densely covering all areas of the city. There was no way for the Yellow Turban Army to escape, and they were shot down in large numbers in an instant. They screamed in agony, making other people tremble with fear and tremble all over.
"Quick...quick...".
The Han army's crossbows successfully suppressed the Yellow Turban Army, and the attacking team rushed to the bottom of the city, setting up ladders, setting up crossbows, and rushing through the gate at the same time.
The ladders made by the Han army were extremely sophisticated. They had hooks on them and were fastened to the city wall. The soldiers did not have to worry about the ladder being pushed down by the opponent. Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the soldiers who ascended first held a knife in their mouths and a crossbow in one hand, and climbed hand and foot with the other.
, moves neatly and is as agile as an ape.
"Kill..." The first warrior to climb up the city fired a crossbow and killed one person. He jumped in with a knife in hand and before his feet landed, more than a dozen spears killed him.
"Kill..." Another person came up, and the way of death was exactly the same as the previous one.
The Han army first climbed up and risked their lives. As more and more people climbed onto the city wall, the two sides fought fiercely on the battlements.
In the evening, the Han army left thousands of corpses behind and retreated with gold.
Late at night, Huangfu Song ordered three thousand men to make a surprise attack. The Yellow Turban Army was caught off guard and did not drive the Han army out of the city until dawn. Later, the Han army attacked fiercely during the day for several days and made sneak attacks at all times at night. The Yellow Turban Army was dragged to death from exhaustion.
Anyone can see that the city will be destroyed in just a few days.
After fighting fiercely for half a day that day, Huangfu Song half-smiled but said, "Ziying, I want to lend you some of your generals."
"Only by order." Gai Jun sneered and turned around to summon Gai Yin, asking him to gather 300 people to go to the city. Everyone in Gai Jun's tribe had been impatient for a long time. When they heard that there was going to be a battle, all the arrogant and brave people signed up.
After a while, three hundred tiger soldiers stood side by side in front of Huangfu Song and Gai Jun, headed by the three military princes Gai Yin, Guan Yu, and Zhang Xiu, Yang Feng, Pang De, Chen Biao, Hu Feng, Che'er, and Zhenliang.
Yang Shou, Guo Rui, Ma Ju and others were all present. They were all wearing double armor and abandoned their shields, but they were armed with swords and spears, and their fierce aura was overflowing.
Huangfu Song was heartbroken and laughed heartily and said: "With such warriors, the city will be destroyed today."
Before leaving, Gai Jun whispered to Gai Yin: "Build down a wall and leave the rest to others. Don't rush in stupidly."
"promise."
Gai Jun climbed up to the high watchtower and saw Gai Yin and others boarding the city without any damage. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then his heart tightened again. He watched his men fall one after another, feeling distressed and helpless.
, being anxious, this feeling is really uncomfortable. Casualties are inevitable, he comforted himself in his heart, trying to regain his composure.
After an unknown period of time, a large flag symbolizing the Han army was fluttering in the wind on top of the city.
The city is broken.
Gai Jun did not want to see the scene by the Qingshui River again, so he pleaded for Taiping Taoism, but was rejected by Huangfu Song. With Huangfu Song's deliberate connivance, the massacre began, and he did not stop the knife until dark. More than 100,000 Taiping Taoists survived.
Less than 10,000 people.
Since then, the Yellow Turban Uprising, which was massive and had far-reaching influence, was suppressed and lasted for more than nine months.);.
