Chapter 2072 Occupy Black Mountain(2/2)
Zou Jing was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately said: "I have a husband to help me, which is comparable to an army of 100,000."
At this time, Liu Bei, who was listening to the order under the tent, was filled with envy when he heard this.
What he envied was that Zou Jing could use Wen Rensheng, but not himself.
And he had no choice. After all, he only had an empty name. Wen Rensheng was not a knight like Guan Yu, so he would take refuge because of his courage and boldness.
From the beginning, Liu Bei's appeal to various counselors was too low.
In the final analysis, it was his own lack of strategic vision that made it difficult to develop a base area. Without a base area, it would be even more difficult to attract counselors. Without counselors, it would be even more difficult to find a base area. It was not until the last Zhuge Liang came on stage with his own rations that the cycle of death was broken.
Why Cao Cao was able to do it? Cao Cao himself had vision and money, and then he could occupy territory and then recruit counselors to form a positive cycle.
Why Cao Cao failed to unify in the end was because he lacked Liu Bei's patience and charm, was often too suspicious, could not let talents be used safely, and was overly suppressed internally, which led to repeated rebellions and delayed time.
Soon, the first battle came.
Zou Jing prepared his army and horses, and there were 8,000 people in total including state and county soldiers and brave soldiers from all walks of life.
5,000 civilians were also recruited to transport grain and grass.
It is known to the outside world as an army of 30,000 people.
It's not that he doesn't want to bring more people, it's because food and grass are limited.
Youzhou was not a grain-producing area at this time, Jizhou in Hebei was.
For these people, food and grass should be used sparingly.
As for the 50,000-strong army on the opposite side, he didn't even know how the other side was going to prepare food and fodder.
In fact, his opponent Cheng Yuanzhi didn't worry about this issue at all.
Only the core few thousand people have food and grass, and the others can just eat themselves.
"Food" is everywhere...
The two sides finally faced each other on a plain.
Neither side was playing any tricks, one just didn't want to waste time, and the other really didn't know how to do it.
Wen Rensheng stood on a high platform built by several chariots and looked forward.
I saw a bunch of noisy soldiers in the distance, no, it should be said to be farmers, lining up there.
They were carrying various farm tools, pitchforks, wooden sticks, and even stones.
Rather than saying they came to fight, it was more of a big outing.
In fact, many people come here just to have a meal.
Those people all had hungry faces and were dressed in rags. They were just a bunch of hungry people.
Only where the central army is located are there thousands of soldiers with swords, guns, bows, crossbows, and even armor.
Several generals in iron armor were organizing their troops.
Obviously, these are Cheng Yuanzhi's core team.
As for the equipment, it must have been found from the arsenal of the county town that was captured.
Those generals were surrounded by a dark-faced man, who was obviously Cheng Yuanzhi.
A mini-boss used to gain fame in the early stage.
Wen Rensheng felt this way at this time.
Zhang Fei was killed with one spear.
It's no wonder there is such confusion.
The other party is so old that the queue is not even organized.
As for how to move forward and backward, I don't understand it at all.
Being able to attack a city and plunder territory depends entirely on large numbers of people and a strong momentum. A county town can be defended by hundreds of people.
Faced with the clamor of tens of thousands of people, those officials who only wanted to make money and pay installments were frightened and ran away.
As long as they can organize hundreds of young men to hold on, they will not be able to capture it.
Besieging a city these days, as long as there is no internal response and the people in the city can hold on, it usually lasts for months.
At this time, Zhang Fei's heart was itching: "Master, I am willing to lead 200 people, charge directly at their central army, and behead the thief under the horse!"
At this time, Zou Jing was also confident.
There is no way that these shabby armies can be his opponent.
"Captain Zhang is indeed very ambitious. I wonder what Mr. Zhao thinks?"
Wen Rensheng smiled and said, "I have said before that it is easy to defeat thieves but difficult to catch them. The captain should first send people to bypass and build a large encirclement, and then send out those with loud voices to shout that kneeling down will avoid death. Those who kneel down will be killed.
grain……"
"Okay, sir, it's more thoughtful." Zou Jing nodded.
Yes, as long as there is one impact, the opponent will be defeated.
But how do you catch tens of thousands of people who are scattered?
Tired and exhausted.
And he understands very well that many people kill red eyes, and they must be aiming at the escaper's back with a knife.
There must have been countless casualties.
Of the tens of thousands of bandits, only a few thousand may survive in the end.
He, Zou Jing, is not a butcher. After all, the people in front of him are not barbarians outside the Great Wall. They were also Han people before, and they just came here for a bite of food.
Since Mr. Zhao said that he could be lured to the mountains for reclamation, that would naturally be the best.
Of course he couldn't imagine that Wen Rensheng was going to separatize the mountains.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if he thought about it, he didn't care. After all, when he ordered various regions to form their own Xiangyong, the situation of separatism in various regions was already destined.
"Okay, then, Wang Quchang, Liu Quchang..." He began to give orders one by one, ordering several teams of village warriors to start attacking in circuitous directions to the left and right.
"Zhao Sima, you command the troops yourself and attack from the center. I will lead the troops behind to suppress the formation."
Wen Rensheng nodded, and then ordered Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu to lead their car arrays and slowly press away.
500 people plus a part of the county soldiers assigned to him later, totaling 1,000 people.
Under the cover of the chariot, attack forward.
"This chariot is good, but it's too slow." Zhang Fei rode behind the chariot.
Wen Rensheng strictly ordered the commanders not to lead the troops from the front, but to command from behind.
"This battle is mainly for our soldiers to familiarize themselves with the battlefield and train elites, not for you to behead them." Wen Rensheng said casually.
As the chariot gradually approached the Land of Five Arrows, 50 archers from the county army, under Wen Rensheng's order, began to try to shoot arrows to determine the attack distance.
The first arrow fell softly in front of the Yellow Turban Army.
It elicited a burst of laughter.
"That's it, it's not enough to give me a bath!"
"Haha, it looks like a tiger, but it's actually a mouse!"
"Haha, come again!"
The chariot continued to move forward.
Cheng Yuanshi, on the other hand, encouraged the soldiers to swarm forward and swamp the chariot and more than a thousand people.
This is a human wave tactic.
There are many people, but few people are beaten. There are sticks, swords and guns in all directions, making it impossible for people to react.
However, Wen Rensheng immediately ordered the chariots to be arranged in a hexagonal array.
They have trained countless times.
A stone's throw away is about 202 meters.
The Five Arrows Land is about 1,000 meters away.
Just run here, it will take at least 5 minutes.
After all, they are not well-nourished students for future generations.
The few elites are also noisy and cannot run at high speed.
This time is enough for them to change their formation.
Soon the chariots began to be arranged in time, with two layers inside and outside, which were thick enough.
There are also sandbags for fire protection.
Within just a few hundred breaths, a strange formation appeared on the plain.
