0035 Chapter Rebellion of the White Waves in Montenegro
"In the winter of the seventh year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling of the Han Empire, he was shocked to hear the bad news about Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous master. Zhang Baiqi led an army of 50,000 to rush to Xiangcheng. However, the army marched to Shangyong, and the white wave and yellow scarf army waved, and the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan suddenly launched an attack.
When Bocai besieged the city of Hanzhong, Zhang Yan sent his troops eastward to capture Shangyong." - "The Biography of the Three Kingdoms"
"Black Mountain Army? Isn't the Black Mountain Army over there in Youzhou? Uh...just pretend I didn't say anything." Seeing the doubtful looks from Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Baiqi, Qin Yang secretly stuck out his tongue. What a sudden change.
He almost forgot that the world today has undergone tremendous changes from the Three Kingdoms era that he knew. After all, according to the history he knew, the Yellow Turban Army was still being frantically encircled and massacred by the army.
"Zhang Qushuai, how is the situation in Shangyong now?" At this time, the generals who followed Qin Yang's army back to the army also came here, and Han Zhong asked.
Zhang Baiqi took the kettle handed by the guard, took a big sip, and sighed: "Shangyong was taken over by Zhang Yan. Yesterday we broke through the city and I fought desperately to break through. Now there are only a thousand left."
Many brothers..."
"Where is the saint?!" Zhang Mancheng asked anxiously.
Zhang Baiqi glanced at his junior brother, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Could it be that Ning'er..." Zhang Mancheng's eyes were red and his eyes were about to burst. It was obvious that he could not accept the news.
"I don't know..." Zhang Baiqi patted Zhang Mancheng's shoulder with a low voice. "When I led the army to rescue Xiangcheng, the saint was still in Hanzhong City. But just a few days ago, Zhang Yan's traitor was still there.
They keep saying that the Holy Lady has issued an order, ordering our army to open the city and surrender, I guess..."
"No! Ning'er will be fine. She is the saint of my Yellow Turban Army. Who dares to touch her..." Zhang Mancheng interrupted Zhang Baiqi's words, but his own voice became smaller and smaller.
Everyone was silent. Except for Qin Yang and Guo Jia, most of the people present knew that Zhang Mancheng had an extraordinary relationship with the childhood sweetheart Zhang Ning, a saint of the Yellow Turban Sect and Zhang Jiao's adopted daughter. Zhang Ning was a saint of the Yellow Turban Sect appointed by Zhang Jiao. Except for
The army and the entire Yellow Turban Sect, with the exception of Zhang Jiao, regard the saint as the most respected one. If Bo Cai wants to steal the power of the Yellow Turban Army, he will not let go of the opportunity to kidnap the saint under any circumstances.
"Mancheng, the saint has 30,000 protective guards around her, and she is deeply loved by countless followers of our Yellow Turbans. I don't dare to do anything to her even if I think about it..." Ma Yuanyi couldn't bear it and comforted Zhang Mancheng.
"Your Highness! Please allow Zhang Mancheng to lead his troops to Hanzhong to rescue the saint immediately!" Zhang Mancheng said hoarsely to Qin Yang with his eyes red.
"Mancheng, be patient. I will give you an explanation..." Qin Yang comforted Zhang Mancheng, then turned and ordered: "Instruct the entire army to camp on the spot. Without my order, the entire army is not allowed to fight at will. Anyone who disobeys the order
cut!"
Qin Yang didn't know how many generals like Zhang Mancheng there were in the Yellow Turban Army, nor did he know if there were relatives and friends of Bai Bo and Heishan Yellow Turban in the army. So Qin Yang issued a death order and went to war rashly without knowing the reality of his opponent.
It's absolutely unwise.
After arranging everything, Qin Yang and Zhang Baiqi said: "Incorporate your army into the main army, and then we will camp and rest together. Please tell me the situation of Bo Cai and Zhang Yan in detail."
"Yes..." Zhang Baiqi admired Qin Yang when he saw that although he was young, he was calm and steady in giving orders. Although he was still vaguely doubtful about the identity of Qin Yang as the "young master", when he saw the Yellow Turban Army, he
Both Shuai and Zhang Mancheng were extremely respectful to him. They suppressed this doubt in their hearts for the time being and did not mention it again.
Military orders were issued, and the camp of the Yellow Turban Army was arranged in a moment. Qin Yang and the generals of the Yellow Turban Army all entered the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters.
At this time, everyone also learned the general situation from Zhang Baiqi's mouth. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising, Zhang Jiao had already been strategizing. The Yellow Turban Sect in Hanzhong had won the hearts of the people, so Zhang Jiao established the Golden Sect General Forum.
In Hanzhong, Zhang Ning, the apostle saint whom he appointed, took charge and spread the teachings.
Before the expedition to Yingchuan, Zhang Jiao secretly trained two new armies, namely Bocai's White Wave Yellow Turban Army and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army. These two armies were not only responsible for guarding the base of Hanzhong, but also served as Zhang Jiao's back-up force.
If the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by him is defeated at the front, then the two armies of Montenegro and Baibo may be the Yellow Turban Army's last trump card.
Because the two armies had just been formed and their morale was still unstable, Zhang Jiao left Zhang Baiqi in Hanzhong, firstly to strengthen Hanzhong's defense force, and secondly to prevent accidents from happening to the two new armies.
A shock.
After the news of Zhang Jiao's death, Qin Yang's succession to the throne of the Yellow Turban Ming Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban Army being trapped in Xiangcheng reached Hanzhong, Zhang Ning and Zhang Baiqi did not dare to neglect. They called all the Yellow Turban military generals in Hanzhong to discuss countermeasures at starry night. Finally, Zhang Baiqi
With all his strength and persistence, he made the decision to rush to the aid of Xiangcheng with the entire army.
Bo Cai and Zhang Yan also participated in the meeting, but they still had no intention of giving up. When Zhang Baiqi was about to go out for the expedition the next day, both Bai Bo and Heishan armies did not show up on the excuse of having something to do. Reinforcement was like putting out a fire, and Zhang Baiqi
Although he was resentful in his heart, the military situation could not be delayed, so he could only go out alone with his 50,000 troops and rush to Xiangcheng.
Just when Zhang Baiqi arrived at Shangyong, Zhang Baiqi received the news that the Bai Bo Yellow Turbans were besieging Hanzhong. Zhang Baiqi was furious and prepared to return to Hanzhong for rescue. But as soon as he left Shangyong, he was ambushed by Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.
They suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to pack up the remaining troops and flee back to Shangyong to defend the city.
However, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turbans were also extremely powerful. Under successive fierce attacks, Zhang Baiqi's remaining troops were finally defeated. Shangyong City was defeated, and Zhang Baiqi fought his way out of the siege.
"So how many are their two armies? What's their combat strength?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, Zhang Yan, Commander of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Canal, has a Black Mountain Army of 50,000 men, most of whom are spearmen, and is equipped with a battalion of rangers. Baibo Huangjin's command has a strength of 70,000, surrounded by infantry, and equipped with a powerful
Gongnu Camp. However, in this battle, I found that the number of the Black Mountain Army has increased significantly. Roughly calculated, it should be almost 100,000. I think the same is true for Bai Bo and Yellow Turbans. It is in vain that the great sage masters have such trust in Zhang Yan and Bo Cai. It seems that they are...
…”
"It has been planned for a long time!" Qin Yang nodded thoughtfully and had a rough estimate in his mind. He secretly recruited troops and horses. It seems that this rebellion should have been planned for a long time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiao, a wise man, also misjudged the person.
At that time, he actually entrusted these two ambitious people with important responsibilities.
"Two hundred thousand..." Qin Yang muttered softly. Since Bo Cai and Zhang Yan dare to rebel, they are very confident in their army of more than 200,000, and they will definitely not be troops like the Yellow Turban Army's rear camp.
The more than 200,000 Yellow Turban Army is more terrifying than the 500,000 Imperial Army. Fighting with the Imperial Army, the Yellow Turban Army has the same belief and can bravely move forward without fear of death. However, the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army has the same belief as itself.
If they fight alone, the Yellow Turban Army's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. And if the other party really captures Zhang Ning and uses the banner of the Yellow Turban Saint, then Qin Yang and the others will be even more passive.
"So what if they have 200,000 troops? How can the empire's 500,000-strong army be defeated at the hands of His Highness Prince Ming?! His Highness Prince Ming is the orthodox leader of the Yellow Turban Army. Your Highness, please give me the order! I, Zhang Niujiao, am willing to be the vanguard and will
Cut off the heads of the two traitors, Bo Cai and Zhang Yan, and use them as spittoons for Your Highness!"
"Your Highness! Give me the order!" Following Zhang Niujiao, the other Yellow Turban generals all asked for battle, especially Zhang Mancheng, who even issued a military order on the spot to kill Zhang Yan in three days and recapture the entire Hanzhong in seven days.
Qin Yang, who was sitting on the commander's seat, was silent, but at this time his heart was already excited by the fighting spirit of the generals. The strong fighting spirit gradually occupied Qin Yang's thoughts, just when he was about to be afraid of the case.
When he was about to make a decision, suddenly the voice of a messenger came from outside the tent.
"His Royal Highness King Ming, there is a messenger outside the camp gate asking to see him. He claims to be carrying an edict written by the Holy Lady of the Yellow Turban Sect, and wants His Highness King Ming and all the generals to go out of the camp to receive the edict!"
"Edict from the Saint?!" Qin Yang was startled, but he didn't expect that the other party would arrive so quickly.
"Huh huh, you have a lot of airs, and you still want me to go out to receive the order?!" A cold light flashed in Qin Yang's eyes, "Go, catch that man, beat him with twenty military sticks first, and then bring him over to me!"
