Chapter 67 Entering the Changshe
After two days, the troops had assembled.After a day of rest, the integration of resources was seized.

On the third day, Huang Zhong led [-] horse archers and [-] ordinary cavalry as the vanguard. Deng Mao led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to escort the grain and grass supplies. Two second-rate generals were left behind, leading [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. The infantry stayed behind in the county seat.Deng Wu led [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry as the central army and rushed towards Changshe.

This has to be said, Deng Wu's soldiers and horses are well configured.Since Zhen Zhujun divided his troops, each of them has only about [-] troops.

Deng Wu went to Changsha, and Zhu Jun went to Wancheng.Along the way, rebels joined them, more or less.There are more than 1000 people, and there are hundreds of people.

Deng Wu incorporated all these rebels on the grounds of integrating the troops.Of course, it is not the collection of robbery, but the benefit.

The seized gold, silver and jewels, in addition to the three floors were handed over to the dignitaries in Luoyang, and the two floors were handed over to His Majesty the Emperor.Four of the remaining five floors were divided among the rebel leaders.Deng Wu only got one layer, which was used to motivate the soldiers.

Of course, now that gold, silver, jewelry, food, grass, equipment, etc. have been divided up, don’t think about it.Deng Wu would "truthfully" report his achievements in wiping out bandits along the way to the court.

for example!The magistrate of a certain county, at a certain time on a certain day.He led the soldiers under the helmet and wiped out more than 400 yellow scarf bandits.But the actual situation is a small cottage with more than [-] people and only [-] fighters.

No matter how you say it now, Deng Wu is also a real general who suppresses the north, these small contributions.More is not more, less is not less.Simply use it as a bargaining chip, as compensation for Deng Wu's inclusion of their troops.

To put it bluntly, it's like modern investing.The only difference is that modern investment is money.and!Investing in Deng Wu is sending troops and horses.

Don't you want to get promoted and get rich?I give you credit and gold, silver and jewels captured.If you want to take the opportunity to expand your army, then I'm sorry, it won't work here.For people with this kind of mind, one is enough...

On the afternoon of the second day after departure, Huang Zhong led the vanguard cavalry to ten miles outside Changshe City.Coincidentally, it was just in time for the Yellow Turban Army to attack the city.

"Report!!!"

"Report to Lieutenant Huang, Changshe County is being attacked by the Yellow Turban Army. It is estimated that the Yellow Turban Army will break through the city gate in an hour."

A scout captain reported the news to Huang Zhongdao.

"How many troops are there in the bandit army? How are they distributed? Who is the commander?" Huang Zhong asked.

"Reporting to Lieutenant Huang, the bandit army has more than [-] troops. The main attack on the south gate has a total of more than [-] troops. The remaining two gates, the east and west gates, each have more than [-] troops. There is not a single soldier at the north gate. The captain's atonement has not yet been found out, who is the leader of the bandit army?"

After Huang Zhong heard the scout captain's report, he frowned and muttered, "Wai San Que Yi?"

Huang Zhong murmured, then turned his head and asked: "In Changshe City, do you know how many soldiers and horses are still there?"

"This... this subordinate is incompetent." The scout captain lowered his head and replied in trepidation.

After Huang Zhong heard the answer, he didn't blame the scout captain.He just said softly, "Well! I know, you go down first. Send a team to tell the situation here to the lord."

After speaking, Huang Zhong began to meditate on his own.

After a while, Huang Zhong raised his head and called the lieutenant general.Said: "You lead eight hundred cavalry and enter the Changshe first. Tie more branches to the horse's tail to make the noise bigger, the better. Let the rebels think that there is a large group of reinforcements entering the city. In addition, keep all the bows and arrows."

"What about you, captain?" the lieutenant asked suspiciously.

"Someone! Bring five hundred cavalry archers and two hundred cavalry to see how good the bandit army is?"

"Master Captain... This is too dangerous, the bandit army has a hundred thousand troops!"

"Okay, let's execute the order!" Huang Zhong interrupted before the lieutenant could finish speaking.

"promise!"

The deputy general had no choice but to respond and went down to prepare the branches.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the lieutenant came back to report: "Master Captain, the arrows and the branches on the horse's tail are ready."

"Yes! The whole army is listening to the order and getting ready to go." Huang Zhong responded first, and then shouted loudly to the knights resting behind.

After conveying the order, Huang Zhong got on his horse first, led five hundred bow soldiers and two hundred knights, and headed for the west gate of Changshe first.

The lieutenant behind him looked at Huang Zhong who was going away.He also issued an order: "Can the scout explain the situation to Changshe City?"

"Master Sima of the Reporting Army, as early as a quarter of an hour ago, my subordinates have explained the situation to the city. After a quarter of an hour, the north gate of Changsha will be opened to facilitate our army to enter the city."

"Well, very good, you rush to the Changsha first. Let's say, we will enter the city gate after a stick of incense, and tell them to prepare for the response."

"promise!"

After the scouts left, the vanguard lieutenant ordered again: "The whole army obeys the order, and the whole army is divided into eight rows to form a long snake formation. The horizontal interval is five steps, and the vertical interval is eight steps. Target: Changshe North City door, let's go."

After finishing speaking, take the lead in walking to the first row.He led the first row of cavalry and started running.Afterwards, the cavalry behind him started to run one after another.After a while, I saw a long dusty dragon heading towards the Changsha.

At the same time, Huang Zhong led seven hundred cavalry, less than five miles away from the west city of Changshe.At this time, the cavalry unit led by Huang Zhong encountered a group of yellow turban cavalry.There are about three thousand riders.

When Huang Zhong saw these more than [-] yellow turban cavalry, he was not surprised but overjoyed, and murmured: "Sure enough!"

"Siege three and lack one", this tactic is based on "Sun Tzu's Art of War" "Surrounded divisions must dodge, and poor bandits must not be chased." ' evolved.The meaning is: don't make the enemy go too far, and prevent the enemy from defending the city to the death.Let go of one side of defense and let the enemy get away with it.Then send troops to chase and kill, which can achieve better results.

Since Huang Zhong followed Deng Wu, he also learned the art of war.Deng Wu's handwritten version of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is a must-read for anyone in the Fenwu camp who has the talent for commanding.

After encountering the pair of Yellow Turban Cavalry, Huang Zhong confirmed his suspicion.

As soon as they met, Huang Zhong ordered two hundred cavalry archers to cruise around.He led a hundred cavalry archers and two hundred knights to confront the yellow turban cavalry.I want to come to a fighting general first, beheading two yellow turban generals to improve morale.

But the ideal is full, the captain of the Yellow Turban Army.Seeing Huang Zhong's arrogance, he only brought three hundred cavalry to block his own three thousand cavalry.Furious in his heart, he charged towards Huang Zhong's camp without saying a word and took the cavalry with him.

Although Huang Zhong had unstoppable courage, he would not use [-] cavalry to confront the enemy's [-] cavalry head-on.

He ordered his bow soldiers to shoot three times in a row, then turned around and left.Turning around and shooting while walking, the knights cruising on both sides were also throwing arrows at the yellow turban cavalry.

After a while, the Yellow Turban Cavalry lost more than [-] cavalry.The leader of the Yellow Turban Cavalry, Lieutenant Jin, was not stupid. After seeing this situation, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops to the west of the city.

Huang Zhong watched the bandit army retreat, and stuck to it like a dog's skin plaster, chasing and shooting arrows.When the Yellow Turban Cavalry retreated into the West Camp most successfully, there were less than 2000 of these Yellow Turban Cavalry.

To be honest, at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Army's rise, there were some elite cavalry.However, as more and more warhorses were seized from the aristocratic families, the commanders of the Yellow Turbans of all parties, in addition to distributing horses to the leading generals and schools.

They are also selecting yellow turban soldiers who can ride horses to form cavalry.The combat effectiveness of these newly formed cavalry is far from that of the ordinary cavalry of the official army. To say that they are miscellaneous cavalry will even praise them.

Just like what Huang Zhong encountered, this team of Yellow Turban Cavalry was an example.The leading school lieutenants rode high-grade war horses, individual generals rode middle-grade war horses, a small number of low-grade war horses, and most of the rest were poor horses.

As the team of cavalry returned to the camp in the west of the city, the leaders of the three camps also received news that the reinforcements from the army had entered the city one after another.Then Ming Jin retreated his troops and waited to fight again tomorrow.

Huang Zhong also turned back to the North City of Changshe and entered the city smoothly.

An hour later, Deng Wu arrived with his army and successfully entered the city.
