Chapter 37 The army goes south
The following year, the Han Dynasty, 472, spring.
In the past six months, the Shiyi City army has been reborn and has lost its title as a mob, truly becoming a strong force with strict discipline and strong combat power.
During the training for more than half a year, the strength of each soldier has been improved, and the group's charge has been extremely tacit. Whether it is weapons, armor, formation, and quality, it has barely reached the first-class level.
Ranking of elite troops of the Han Dynasty: the ace army guarding the capital Luoyang, the Imperial Guard is the elite among the elite troops, ranking first, and is considered to be the first-class level. Several centralized elite troops ranked second, and are considered to be the first-class level. The elite troops in some places are ranked third, and are barely reaching first-class level. Later, some regular army corps are barely considered elite, but the strength of soldiers can only be considered to be the second-class level. For example, those ordinary prefectures and counties have not even reached the third-class standard.
The individual soldiers of the Shiyi City army can already match the local elite legions, and their strength is not inferior to those of the regular army legions of the Han army.
When recruiting soldiers, they were all picking strong and powerful Kong Wu. If it weren't for such a request, how could there be only 30,000 troops now? The soldiers are about strength, not about the large number. No matter how many people are raised, they are just a waste of food.
Not long ago, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei had defeated the Wei County garrison. The army was approaching the capital Luoyang. For a moment, the capital was shocked and the court was in chaos. At this time, the left central general Huangfu Song and the right central general Zhu Ye were all fighting against the Yellow Turban Army bandits in Yingchuan. In desperation, the four governments recommended that Emperor Ling of Han appointed Lu Zhi as the General of the North Central Army, dispatched several elite troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, and fought with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Sili.
Outside Shiyi City, in the spring breeze, 30,000 troops stood in the wind, with tens of thousands of sword-light armors and magnificent momentum.
The army was about to set off and went south to meet with Lu Zhi's army to jointly encircle and suppress the main force of the Hebei Yellow Turban Army.
Yan Rong led a large army to fight against the Yellow Turban Army this time, and the situation was extremely difficult. The main commander of the Hebei Yellow Turban Army was Zhang Jiao, the first thief, with a huge force of one million. Although the Shiyi City army was elite, it was definitely vulnerable before the million-dollar Yellow Turban Army. Yan Rong could only continue to harass the rear of the Yellow Turban Army, making Zhang Jiao unable to lead the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to fight Lu Zhi with all his strength.
Woo...woo...woo!
The dull and long horn sounded, and under the leadership of the generals, the 30,000 troops with strict military posture began to wriggle and headed towards the distance.
The Yanrong army went south all the way and took the initiative to avoid the Yellow Turban Army forces. They marched hundreds of miles in ten days.
Zhao State, within Xiangguo County.
The Yanrong army reached a low hillside. Di Ying pointed out the continuous mountains and said slowly: "Sir! Let's march for another fifteen miles and cross the continuous mountain area. Ten miles southeast is the city of Xiangguo County. Xiangguo County has been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. According to the brothers who investigated, there are now 5,000 Yellow Turban Army garrisons in the city. Fifteen miles northwest of Xiangguo County is Surenting, and there are also 3,000 Yellow Turban Army garrisons there. If the army wants to go to Xiangguo County, it must pass through Surenting."
"Can the army not take a detour?" Yan Rong asked.
"The Su Renting Pavilion is built against the mountain. There are steep mountains in the east and west directions. The cavalry, food and grass are heavy, and they cannot walk at all." Di Ying said.
"Then we can only go to Surenting. Xiangguo County is fifteen miles away from Surenting. Once the army attacks Surenting, it only takes half an hour for the Yellow Turban Army in Xiangguo County to reinforce Surenting. Therefore, we have to end the battle within two quarters of an hour to ensure that the army passes Surenting smoothly within half an hour."
Yan Rong frowned and analyzed. Two quarters of an hour, only half an hour, defeating three thousand Yellow Turban troops guarding the camp in half an hour was obviously an impossible task.
"The number of Yellow Turban soldiers in Xiangguo County and Surenting was added to the sum of 8,000, and there were only a few thousand Yellow Turban soldiers. What else should I think about here? Our army directly attacked Surenting. The Yellow Turban soldiers in Xiangguo County were not cheap. If they came to reinforce Surenting, we would eliminate them together and give Xiangguo County a peace."
Dian Wei shouted loudly, and heard that there was a war, he had already been unable to hold on and began to rub his fists and feet.
"It is naturally not difficult for our army to destroy the thousands of Yellow Turban Army in Xiangguo County. However, I want to take this opportunity to test the strength of our army, and use the opportunity to attack Su Renting to test how strong our offensive ability is, and fortunately I have a clear idea in my mind."
Yan Rong didn't care about Dian Wei's noise, but instead stationed directly on the hill, analyzed it with a group of main personnel, and began to arrange strategies to attack Su Renting.
That night, when night falls and the moonlight is quiet, the southwest wind blows slightly.
Su Renting, between the ravine a mile away, more than 300 figures were quietly passing through. The leader was a thin black man with a pair of rare phoenix eyes. The cold light flashed in his eyes, like a cat's eyes, and a faint green light appeared. The thin black man grinned, revealing two neat rows of small white teeth, and made a gesture to the more than 300 people behind him. With the help of the secret of the ravine, he silently climbed into the mountains on the west side of the Su Renting.
The more than 300 people led by Di Ying were special combat camps under Yan Rongmo. They were all good at unique skills. They each had one or two special skills. They were extremely good at special ways of killing enemies such as hidden weapons. They were also very skilled in martial arts, outstanding strength, and agile. They climbed, climbed trees, pedaled houses, and walked on walls. They were all good at climbing.
On the east side of Suren Pavilion are continuous forests, with lush trees and complex trees, and it is difficult to walk through. On the west side, there are rugged peaks, cliffs and extremely steep, and ordinary people cannot climb. The special operations camp chose the steep mountain wall on the west side as a breakthrough point. The rugged cliffs may not work for ordinary people, but for the elites of the special operations camp, it is as simple as drinking tea and eating.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. The Yellow Turban Army of Surenting would never have thought that someone would climb the cliffs on the west side to attack the camps of Surenting.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, sparse sounds came from the cliffs on the west side, just as light as the breeze blows on the ground. Even if someone hears it, he will not think that someone is climbing.
Every brother in the Special Forces Camp carried a long rope on his back, and one end of the rope was tied with a sharp steel claw. He held the rope at one end and rotated in the air for several weeks, suddenly came out of his hand. The steel claws dragged the rope straight and flew out, accurately hooking on a cliff. The brothers in the Special Forces Camp pulled the rope a few times, and after confirming that the steel claw hook was strong, figures quickly climbed up like raccoon cats.
Between the valley a mile away from Surenting, the figure of the Special Forces Camp had just disappeared, and another soldier with bright armor came quietly. The gloomy swords, solid shields, and extremely sharp spears were intertwined in the dark night, bringing out a gloomy chill.
In front of this team, a handsome general with a knife-like face stood. He was powerful without anger. A momentum as rigorous as steel evaporated from every soldier and condensed into a solid barrier.
The Guards Camp is the most elite legion under Yan Rongmo. Although the number is small, only one thousand people is equipped and the personal strength is not particularly outstanding, the entire team has a tacit cooperation and is as harmonious as one, even compared with some elite legions that have been experienced in the battlefield, it is not inferior.
Shi Feng's eyes were as clear as stars, standing tall and straight, staring at Su Renting in front of him, waiting for news from the special operations camp.
In the Su Renting camp, there were dim lights and in the shaking fire, dozens of soldiers were guarding the village sparsely.
"Hey! I'm staying here every day, so idle that I'm almost fading out of my mouth."
A soldier who was standing guard, with a sleepy face, waving his body while complaining to his companions beside him.
"No! Let's stay in this place where birds don't poop! There is not even a passing person! Also stationed in Xiangguo County, the brothers in the city are all living in the whole world, eating meat in big mouthfuls, and drinking in big bowls. They can also grab a few girls to help them liven up if they have nothing to do." The companions also complained.
"Forget it, let's be content! Although we are poor here, we still have three meals a day to enjoy fullness. Look at the brothers who follow the main force to fight against the Han army. Not only will they be hungry or full, they will still be threatened with death at any time. In any war, it is not the casualties of tens of thousands of people. In this world, we are already lucky to have a full meal. We are not as good as the best, but we have more than the best!"
"Yes! Please be blessed! By the way, some brothers said that a few days ago, I found a remote small village seven or eight miles south. The woman in the village was so beautiful. Many brothers were going to rob them, so let's go together! Maybe they could even rob a woman and come back. With a woman accompanying us, we two will not be lonely."
"Of course, it's good. If our brothers are lucky and they will be blessed to grab a beautiful woman. Among these thousands of thirsty men, even if they look like a sow, they can be called as a daughter-in-law who looks like a flower."
"That's certain! That's certain!"
The two had a great conversation, and silently one of them fell down.
"you……"
The companion fell to the ground, and the other companion thought he had fallen accidentally. He was about to go over and see what was going on, but suddenly a cold air came from the back of his neck. Before he could react, he felt a tingling pain in his neck, and his body became numb. Then he turned dizzy, his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.
The same thing happened constantly in the camp of Surenting.
Dozens of patrol soldiers who were guarding fell to the ground in just a few breaths.
After the soldiers who were on guard fell to the ground, more than a dozen figures quietly walked out in the shadows near the cliffs on the west side, hid the bodies of the soldiers who were on guard, took over their jobs, and disguised themselves as soldiers who were on guard.
After a moment, on the cliff on the west side, dense figures of people slid down quickly along the ropes.
