The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Although Bo Cai did not learn the art of war, he was able to become Zhang Jiao's disciple and was appointed as the commander of Yingchuan County, but he was also a very talented person.

According to Zhang Jiao's plan, it was originally planned to rebel against the Han on Jiazi Day in March, but because of the traitor's whistleblowing, he had to rush to rebel in advance, and because of the existence of Xunzhen in Yingchuan County, Bo Cai waited. Compared with the Taiping Dao believers in other counties, the situation beforehand was even worse, but despite this, Bo Cai still contacted the young marshals in seventeen counties in just a few days, and summoned a number of them. Wan's Taoist disciples immediately surrounded Yangzhai City.

From this, it can be seen that Bo Cai is indeed a rare talent.

A wise man does not fall in the same place twice. With the lessons of Xun Zhen's attack out of the city before, of course, Bo Cai would not fail to take precautions against this, lest Xun Zhen repeat his old tricks. The hundreds of soldiers standing in front of Xun Zhen and the others were his "precautions".

Now that I think about it, why is the front line of the entire Yellow Turban Army alone the shallowest ditch in front of the camp?

In addition to making it easier for the Yellow Turbans to go out to harass the city at night, and to go out to attack the city during the day, it cannot be ruled out that this is also a trap that Bo Cai set for Xun Zhen.

Sun Tzu said: "A soldier is a deceitful way. Therefore, it is possible to show what it cannot, to use it to show it is not useful, to show it when it is near, and to show it when it is far. The victory of the military family cannot be passed on first.”

Although Bo Cai didn't know the art of war, his "trap" coincided with the military tricks of "if you can show what you can't, and use your advantage to lure it".

The hundreds of soldiers who were ambushed in the camp were part of the main force under Bo Cai's command. In the entire Yellow Turban Army, only Bo Cai had so many well-equipped and well-armed soldiers. It's just that these soldiers were originally in the Central Army, and they were all in Huwei Bocai. When was he transferred here? It should be not during the day, but after nightfall.

Xun Zhen and others were condescending. During the day, it was difficult for Bo to play tricks. Only after nightfall could they have the opportunity to do this and set up an ambush.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Xun Zhen's mind, and when the spear in his hand pierced the body of the Yellow Turban soldier, all these thoughts disappeared, and only one thought remained in his mind: "Kill the past, Go back to the city."

The brave who meet in the narrow road wins. Since I didn't notice it for a while, fell into the trap of Pocai, and fell into the ambush of the Yellow Turbans, then it's useless to think about anything else, regret and panic are all useless, if you want to die here, you can only take out More courage than the enemy.

Although the two Han dynasties could not help buying and selling civilian weapons, most of the weapons circulating in the market were swords, bows and crossbows. There was very little armor and even less fine armor. In addition to the armor that had been snatched from Jia County and Xiangcheng County in the past two days, Bo Cai’s command had There are only two or three thousand soldiers in armor. It is impossible for him to invest too many soldiers here. There are about 300 soldiers standing in front of Xun Zhen and others, which may be a "song".

Xun Zhen rode on the horse and had a wide view. Before rushing into the formation of the armored soldiers, he had already seen a general view of the armored soldiers in this song.

The three hundred or so armored soldiers were mainly composed of two types of arms, one was a shield player and the other was a spearman. The shield player is in front and the spearman is in the back, forming a rectangular formation. There were not many shield players, maybe forty or fifty people, lined up in front of the formation; all behind were spearmen.

Around this formation, there are thousands of ordinary yellow turban soldiers who got up at night after hearing the news, or came from nearby.

These ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers were the same as the ones they fought the day before yesterday and the three camps they had just rushed through. Few of them wore armor, most of them were ragged, and their weapons were also very crude, many of which were farm implements and bamboo spears. Xun Zhen didn't pay much attention to these "miscellaneous soldiers". As long as you were careful, no matter how many such "miscellaneous soldiers" were, they would not pose too much threat to them. The day before yesterday morning, he led people to kill in these "miscellaneous soldiers", and in the end he only paid negligible casualties as proof.

That is to say: as long as they can overwhelm the three hundred soldiers in front of them, they will be able to win the night attack tonight.

The shield hands in front of the Jiashi formation were holding large shields, which were about half the height of a person.

I don't know if these shield players have been trained or not. From the performance in front of them, they seem to be similar. Although they are arranged sparsely and not densely enough, they all crouch behind the shields, hold the shields high, and try to This is to delay the speed of Xun Zhen and others.

There are "spear eyes" on the shield, and behind each shield player, there are two spearmen who insert the spears from the "spear eyes". From a distance, the formation of the Yellow Turbans looks like a hedgehog.

If Xun Zhen was riding a good horse, in the face of this battle, he could seize on the fact that the shield players were relatively loose and not dense enough, and drove the horse to jump up, jumping over the shield at the front, stepping into it, and taking advantage of the opportunity. Break the array. It is a pity that although his mount is not a horse, it is not a good horse, and this difficult action is difficult to complete.

He could only pull the reins as much as possible to prevent the mount from hitting the spear protruding from the shield, and at the same time vigorously swung the iron spear in his hand to stab out as much as possible. Stars and moons, torches, bonfires, iron spears pierced straight into the face of a spear armored soldier behind the current shield.

In the end, there is a lack of systematic training and insufficient military literacy. Although the shield fighters of the Yellow Turbans hid behind the shields, the protective area of ​​the shields was limited. He stood up straight, exposing his upper body to the outside of the shield. It was one of them that Xun Zhen stabbed.

Xun Zhen was on the horse, the armored man with the spear was on the ground, the spear was slightly raised, and he avoided the armor on the armored man with the spear and pierced his cheek.

The so-called "armor", the armor is the armor, and the armor is the helmet. Better helmets have face coverings, such as the hood that Xun Zhen is wearing now, which has a face covering in front of her face, mainly to defend against arrows, and can also defend against the enemy's long and short weapons in melee combat. The stabbed soldier with the spear was just a soldier of the Yellow Turban Army. Although he was the main soldier, he only wore an ordinary helmet and did not cover his face.

The iron spear pierced into his face without resistance, and with the help of the speed of the horse, it passed through the entire skull, and the tip of the spear came out from the back of his head.

The armored soldier screamed and fell to the ground. Behind a shield are two spearmen. The fallen soldier was bumping into another soldier. The other soldier was unsteady and fell to the ground. When he fell to the ground, the second armored soldier might have been too nervous, or he might have tried to use a spear to stabilize his steps, but he forgot to release the handle of the spear in his hand. It weighs two hundred pounds, causing the shield to tilt instantly. The shield player's mouth was torn apart, he let go of his hand subconsciously with a cry of pain.

It's too late, it's too soon. It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The shield fell to the ground, and there was no defense in front of the shield player. Xun Zhen was overjoyed and cried out in her heart, "God help me!" He stepped forward on the horse, the horse's hoof stepped on the shield player's body, withdrew the iron spear, and stabbed the other spearman's face with his backhand.

At the same time, a loud shout came into his ears.

He looked sideways, but Liu Deng used his arms to snap off two spears on a nearby shield.

I don't know when, Liu Deng jumped from the horse and fought on foot instead. Xun Zhen was at the front, so he didn't have time to dismount; Liu Deng was a little behind, because he had time to dismount after seeing the shield formation of the Yellow Turbans.

After pinching off the two spears on the shield, Liu Dengzha opened his horse, squatted down, grabbed the bottom of the shield, lifted the shield slightly, and immediately threw himself on the shield and overwhelmed the shield.

The shield player and the two spear soldiers behind the shield could not escape, and were both pressed under the shield. Liu Deng only clipped off the spear exposed on the outside of the shield. There were still two spear handles inside the shield. There were two muffled sounds of "poof" and "poof". Call. Liu Deng ignored it, took out the short halberd tied to his back, and slammed it into it through the gap between the shield and the ground.

The speed of his insertion was extremely fast, and he had already inserted it a dozen times in succession between his breaths.

Liu Deng dismounted, and Xu Zhong on the other side, like Xun Zhen, did not dismount, but unlike Xun Zhen, Xu Zhong did not seek the enemy's weakness, but directly hit the shield. Two spears pierced deeply into the body of the mount, the mount screamed and sighed, rolled over and fell. Because of the collision of horsepower, the shield could not help but move backwards.

Xu Zhong tapped the stirrup with his toes, jumped up before the mount fell, dropped the spear in his hand, took out his saber in mid-air, jumped to the ground, rubbed himself close to the shield, and circled to the back. Steady shield player, two spear soldiers killed.

"The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers". In the face of the same strong enemy, the differences in the personalities of Xun Zhen, Liu Deng, and Xu Zhong are vividly displayed at this moment. Liu Deng relied on strength, Xu Zhong relied on bravery, and Xun Zhen looked for the enemy's weakness.

Almost in no particular order with Liu Deng and Xu Zhong killing the enemy, before Xun Zhen's face turned straight, Xin Ai shouted from behind him, "Bow your head!"

Xun Zhen didn't have time to look back~www.wuxiaspot.com~ hurriedly bowed her head and heard a "whoosh", but Xin Ai threw the spear out of her hand, but it didn't hit the enemy, it hit the shield and fell to the ground .

Xin Ai's action reminded Jiang Qin at the back of the palace, and he immediately shouted: "Throw the spear!"

Fifty guests responded to the order, learned Xin Ai, and threw their spears with all their might. Dozens of spears slid through the air and flew over the heads of Xun Zhen, Xu Zhong, and Liu Deng, like a torrential rain, falling into the formation of the Yellow Turban soldiers. The spearman behind the shield. The formation of the Yellow Turbans screamed again and again, and the formation was in chaos.

Seeing that Xun Zhen and the others were showing their prestige, Wen Pin was ashamed of falling behind, gritted his teeth, urged the horse to gallop, the wind seemed to catch up from behind, passed Xun Zhen, and was the first to rush into the formation of the Yellow Turbans and cast his spear. , left and right, shouting continuously: "Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"

——

1, March Jiazi.

"Three Kingdoms" records "March Jiazi", "Later Han Dynasty", "Zizhi Tongjian" and other records "March 5th".

Mr. Fan Wenlan may be based on these two different records, and in the "General History of China", "Zhang Jiao planned to revolt at the same time inside and outside Beijing on the fifth day of the third month of the Jiazi year (Jiazi day)." The fifth day of the month is not the "Jiazi Day". According to the research, March 5th of the first year of Zhongping is not the Jiazi day, but Gengxu day, and the "Jiazi day" is March 19th of the first year of Zhongping.

As for why the "Records of the Three Kingdoms" says "Jiazi in March", while the "Book of the Later Han" etc. says "the fifth day of the third month", Wei Zhongzhan believes that "although the "Records of the Three Kingdoms" is the first of the various families, the later people who write history are all from it. "March 5th", please understand that there must be a basis. Or because of differences in historical materials, the materials are different, and the book can be written as "March jiazi";
