Chapter 208

Looking at the position of the fifth drum cart, crossing our own array like fish scales, the entire river bank was filled with Red Eyebrow Army, like countless migrating wildebeest herds.

Unlike the fifth-floor bandits I met some time ago, they were not ragged and dressed really well. After all, when they fled the disaster, they brought the best clothes at home. Although the clothes were stained along the way, they robbed the big house, but after robbing the big house, they also plundered a lot. Qu Shuai was also easy to recognize, and the people wearing sable furs were just to keep the cold. In order to keep the cold, many people were wrapped in cloth on their heads, which were colorful.

If you wipe off the bloody eyebrows on your face, then wash your face and comb your hair, and walk into the market, it is no different from ordinary people - except those who wear women's clothing.

The only difference is the weapons in their hands and their eyes.

The peasants who used to be timid in their hometown and even tax collectors dared to offend them, now they have the courage to fight against the official army. It is not King Jing of Chengyang, Chiyou and all kinds of gods who give them the courage, but their hungry stomachs.

These tens of thousands of Red Eyebrow Army have eaten up the other side and the food is about to be exhausted. Otherwise, Chi Zhaoping would not have been instigated to fight the Wei soldiers. They only ate some thin porridge this morning and took a bowl of them. Although they could have the strength to hold on for a whole morning, they did not feel full at all. The stomach and intestines were greedy and moved, and they were eager to eat more and more nutritious things.

This is also the driving force that drives them to cross the glaciers at risk.

"Caught the Liaocheng and eat rice."

"Catch Yuancheng and eat meat!"

Under Chi Zhaoping's early instruction, the shouts of the Qu soldiers were heard one after another. These days, the Red Eyebrow Army and the refugees who joined one after another were instilled in Hebei every day, and they could settle down here again.

I have been in exile since last summer and autumn. I have had no meals after eating. Every day, I am hungry and panic. My relatives are gradually separated. The villagers who fled together die in a row. They have gradually become numb and desperate, but now they are given a glimmer of hope by Chi Zhaoping.

If there is a good life, who will be the red eyebrows?

Hundreds of people shouted, thousands of people shouted, and finally tens of people shouted together. The Red Eyebrow Army was boiling. They were trembling with cold, but now they seemed to have a heat in their hearts. Everyone was shouting, their faces were twisted, and their eyes were crazy.

Then, driven by Xiaoqu coaches, they began to walk forward and ran forward. The tens of thousands of people who came ashore rushed over without any tactical tests and foreplay!

"Win a battle and have a full meal!"

...

What drives Chimei to be afraid of death is hunger and desire to settle down, and what makes Wei Dihaoyou, who is usually selfish and a mess of sand, suddenly unites with fear of these locusts.

Last time in Yuancheng, Chai Rong, the military officer who had to be hostage by Di Lun, was willing to let the soldiers of the county, work hard. Today, Chai Rong was more anxious than Di Lun, and he ordered his subordinate soldiers: "If you really want to be rushed over by the Red Eyebrow thief, let alone food, I am afraid that we, together with the whole family, will have to let those people eat it. To cheer up, I must fight this battle!"

The same is true for all the powerful armed forces on the left and right wings. Looking at the terrifying number on the opposite side, the single fortress will definitely not last for a month. With so many mouths, they will definitely be able to eat them without any residue. The fifth man just wants people to eat, but the Red Eyebrows are so scared!

Not to mention the militias of all walks of life. Most of them are natives of Shouliang. The scars that were ravaged by the thieves on the fifth floor have not healed some time ago. How could they be injured by Red Eyebrows again and hand over the homeland that they had finally recovered? They also understood that this battle was indeed as the Fifth Lord said, and it was a matter of life and death. After Lu Zhongkang brought people together, he also loudly promoted it to everyone that they had killed and injured many times, but that.

Among the more than 10,000 people of the "Yellow Turban Army", the one who had the lowest morale and had nothing to do with this battle was probably the two thousand Gengshi soldiers who Geng Chun rescued from Hebei. Most of them were not locals, and the shadow of the Battle of Chengchang was very repulsive of this battle.

The fifth reunion has taken great care of them. During his station, he personally visited the camp several times, gave them food, clothing, wine and meat, and promised to settle their families and divide their land after the war, which stabilized the hearts of everyone. After all, they were mostly from hardships before joining the army, but at this moment, the hearts of the enemy soldiers began to shake again.

"Geng Jun is not here, why should we work hard?" Someone felt a sense of retreat.

"I didn't see you eat less wine and meat given by the fifth official!" Someone immediately rebuked him, and the fifth official won the respect of many of them.

"During Chengchang, General Gengshi and the Grand Tutor were also very good armor and blades, but they lost even if they fought tens of thousands or tens of thousands. Now that the enemy is numerous and we are few, can we win?"

"Before Chengchang, we drank dilute every day. When we came to Hebei, we ate dry rice. The fifth man and I ate the same food as us. Can we eat the same food?"

"If anyone dares to be praised and fears the enemy, behead him!" Peng Chong, who was elected as the Sima of the Army, came from his voice, and he stood behind everyone.

Peng Botong pressed his hand with a knife, stared at their backs, and cursed: "We were originally defeated soldiers and soldiers, and they were running in a hurry. I don't know where to go. Fortunately, Geng Jun led the way and the fifth man took it in. It took only two months for food and clothing and order to revive."

"This is a life-saving grace. Who would not be able to repay the reward and think of escaping, and I, Peng Botong, is the first to kill him! What's more, if Chimei enters Hebei, even the last place we can live in, where can we go? Should we join the bandits, or go all the way back to our hometown?"

A few words calmed everyone's mood. At this time, there were also officials from the main formation where the fifth reunion was located to pass orders.

"The Fifth Duke has a order: Those who defeat the enemy will be granted the captives of the young and strong as slaves; soldiers will be given to the land of longevity and unparalleled people; the people and militia will receive food!"

They are all things that different classes desire. The powerful men of the two counties are always eager for more slaves. The soldiers who came from hardship hope to be able to settle down as well as Zhu Tufengyong, the old subordinate of the fifth family, while the local militia are worried about how to survive the summer harvest and autumn harvest, and are in urgent need of food and cloth.

This battle is both a battle and a benefit. You should know that in Wei, the promise of the fifth reunion is much more effective than the emperor's edict!

The panic after being hurriedly summoned was slightly calmer, but the opposite side did not give them time. With a howling of "win and eat", the Red Eyebrow Army began to attack.

There are no drum beats, no trumpets, and no flags, all rely on instinct. The people in front of them started running, and the people behind followed closely behind. The entire river bank was filled with heads surging forward. Tens of thousands of red eyebrows were like torrents, as if they were about to destroy the "dike" of the fifth reunion and then swept across Hebei!

The fifth reunification just watched the first wave coming towards him, hitting the "Zangziying" arranged in front of him.

Because it is difficult to predict the direction of the main force of the Red Eyebrow, Ma Yuan led two thousand militias to a hundred miles south, and the fifth reunion was also two thousand, which was also his only direct line in this battle. The fifth reunion divided it into two and placed it in the center of the array.

The Seventh Biao brought the short barracks as the personal soldiers of the fifth reunion, and was behind.

The ones ahead were Zang Nu's team. The fifth Lun equipped them with the old treasury armor in the treasury and the new treasurys produced by Wu'an Iron Workshop. Zang Nu's men had a very high armor rate, and they were nine-foot spears in their hands. The tips of the spear were polished sharply, forming the front of the formation.

This is the subordinates whom the fifth reunion, after a fierce battle with the thieves on the fifth floor, understood the rules of the bandits' combat, and deduced the situation with Ma Yuan and others. On the battlefield, the place where the formation is most prominent will be the first to take the enemy. This is common sense, especially the Red Eyebrow Army, which has no command and acts entirely on instinct, will subconsciously surge forward.

The front row was pushed forward by the people behind him, and the back row was subconsciously following the blind flow of the front team, and if nothing unexpected happened, they all rushed to Zang Nu.

Zang Nu subconsciously looked back at the military flag of the fifth reunion. This was his first time to command a team of thousands of people. This group of people had been practicing for almost a year, and had fought with Ma Yuan in the Wu'an battle and chased the thieves on the fifth floor. He was also considered veterans. At least he could hold the spear and spit in his mouth.

Seeing the small flag of our formation waving, Zang was relieved and shouted: "Let the spear!"

In contrast to the Red Eyebrows who rushed forward, they played the fine tradition of "invincible standing in front of the formation" under the fifth republic. Although the array is small, it is firm. After the spear is flat, it is like a long horn, which makes the crazy Red Eyebrow striker subconsciously slow down.

Taking advantage of the gap of more than a hundred steps, the crossbowman who was gathered by the fifth reunion also shot in the gap in the spear formation. More than a hundred arrows flew out. Although the Red Eyebrow Army had captured armor to protect the body, many of them fell down and the forward rushing stopped slightly.

Zang Nu was a crossbow soldier when Zhu Tufeng was brave. He knew how to seize the opportunity and distance and directed the crossbowmen to shoot again for two rounds, and continued the momentum of the thieves in one go.

But there were too many enemies, and they rushed to the front soon, but they didn't use too long spears. After seizing, they deliberately cut it to five or six feet short. Now when they met this iron hedgehog, they were stunned. Some people were lucky enough to step forward and rushed through the gap, but were stabbed to death and fell to the ground.

Some casualties cannot stop the Red Eyebrows. They are used to death. Death is much simpler than living. It is best to be killed by one blow without much pain. Every day, they are hungry and hunger. The people around them are no longer like humans, and they have become wild animals.

"So what if you die?"

"So what about moths to the flame?"

They fight all by instinct, and there is no way to deal with it, so they can only use their lives to pile up!

As more and more people rushed from behind, the originally scattered and disordered Red Eyebrow also passively turned into a crowded "dense formation". The people in front were pushed by the back and could only be forced forward. Someone hit the spear, but still couldn't stop. He could only watch the spear tip pierced into his abdomen, and then penetrated through his back, making a shrill scream.

After only a moment, two or three people were strung on each spear, but Chimei was still squeezing forward, making the soldiers like reefs surrounded by waves. The spear halberds behind the spear formation were swung frequently, knocking down the enemy and killing them one by one, like cutting melons and vegetables. However, the speed of this killing was far less than that of Chimei, and the previous formation was suddenly in a bitter battle.

But they also blocked the attack of at least 5,000 people and were able to stabilize their positions. They remained unmoved under the impact of several times their enemies, winning time for the left and right wings to fight against the enemy.

Located behind Zang Nu, protecting his rear and left and right wings were the troops of Peng Chong and Chai Rong. Although the order and armored soldiers were far inferior to those of the fifth family, they were all "official troops". If they were taken out alone, they would be far better than those of the Red Eyebrow. The only problem was morale.

One was a defeated soldier who had been beaten by the Red Eyebrow, and the other was a veteran county soldier who had been serving empty salaries all year round. They were kicked and rewarded to be brought to the battlefield. When they first fought with the Red Eyebrow, they were still a little panicked. Fortunately, Zang Nu, the frontman attracted most of the enemies, so they only had to face twice as many thieves.

As the sword came and spears went, Peng Chong and others discovered that the red eyebrows in front of them were different from the guys in Chengchang who were like divine weapons coming from the sky. They were also humans and would die. Although many people were not afraid of death and wanted to die with them, some people would be frightened and fled after seeing the blood.

The embarrassment when he fled was exactly the same as when Peng Chong and others evacuated Chengchang several months ago!

Once my mentality was correct, my hands were not so trembling and deformed, and my left and right wings also stabilized my position and were not destroyed by the red eyebrows.

But the battle is far from that simple. Some people kept coming from the other side, driven by Chi Zhaoping to attack, and were blocked by 20,000 yuan, so another 10,000 yuan! Some of them joined the frontal battle group, while others rushed to the left and right ends of the mixed left and right formations. Those who were ordered to arrange the formation here were the powerful Wei County and local militia teams. The Red Eyebrows who rushed to the front were equivalent to their numbers.

Although the powerful armed forces and militia were mixed with each other and lacked unified command, and the armored soldiers were one level worse than the standing army, they were not at a disadvantage when facing the Red Eyebrows with an equal number. Since the gathering, the fifth reunion did not let them starve. They were usually a little bit practicing the five soldiers and were familiar with the flag-and-plate array. Most of them even took iron soldiers, and even had wooden spears, based on the villages.

The battle was in the center with rocks against the sea tide, and the barbarian bulls against the pack of wolves on the left and right. Then here were purely a stinging chickens. The Red Eyebrows were fighting in chaos, and the militia were fighting in chaos. There was no structure and the order was disrupted, which turned into a fight among villagers.

For Chimei, she was hungry every day and walked endlessly, saying that she could survive when she arrived in Hebei, but what was blocked in front of them was the crossbow arrows that were constantly shooting, the iron spears, and the hostile locals.

Why do you have to block us? We just want to survive! The Red Eyebrow Army was full of indignation.

The militia were also angry: There are so many places in this world. Go east to Qingzhou and south to Xuzhou. Why do you have to go north to grab our food and clothing?

Class brothers face each other and kill each other.

The fifth reunion is located a little higher, and can see the overall situation. Except for the thousand personal guards around you, all the arrays have participated in the battle. If there is a good military use on the other side, sending five thousand people to take a long way to copy him, then the fifth reunion will be in danger.

"Sect Master, let me help Zang Nu. The Red Eyebrow has been pushed and exhausted. If it can hit its side, it will definitely be a big collapse!"

But when the fifth reun looked at the river bank in the distance, there were still thousands of red eyebrows surrounded by Chi Zhaoping, and there were still people coming from the other side.

Resisting the urge to send the last unit at hand out to win some local victory, the fifth reunion shook his head.

"Wait a little longer and fight back, it's not time yet."

The fifth reunion's patience was still rewarded. When the battle lasted for half an hour, Chimei had a few times the number of people but failed to go further, and her heart was full of despair. They had been hungry for many days and only ate a little porridge in the morning. Now they are fighting hard, and they are hungry and hungry. They are not even able to raise heavy weapons. On the front battlefield, there are even a formation of more than 1,000 people under Zang Nu, pushing five or six thousand Chimei backwards!

After being frustrated, more and more red eyebrows retreated. As they were about to be used as pointed wedges of the array, they began to fight back. Chi Zhaoping, who had been waiting for the exhaustion of Wei troops, finally sent her new force.

"There are thieves in the west!"

Five thousand old subordinates of Chi Zhaoping, who had gone by indiscriminately, finally appeared behind the Fifth Reun Army. They did not rush to support the retreating front, but rushed to the Fifth Reun banner!

There was no additional troops to stop the five thousand Red Eyebrow soldiers. They began to speed up and run, and their armored rate was not low. It seemed that they were indeed the elite soldiers hidden by Chi Zhaoping.

The enemy is getting closer and closer, and the real challenge is coming. Di Wulun looked at more than a thousand people around him and smiled: "It seems that we are going to fight to the death!"

"I wish to die for the fifth man!"

The guards followed the Seventh Biao and shouted, all of them were ready to fight. Until now, everyone found that Red Eyebrows were no better than the thief on the fifth floor. They just had a large advantage. Since Zang Nu could fight five with one, why couldn't they?

But just as the fifth reunion was in danger, the Red Eyebrows's original formation suddenly became in chaos on the banks of the river!

It turned out to be a "Red Eyebrow Army" staggering from the other side. After climbing to the north shore, the two thousand people took out a touch of yellow turban from their arms, tied it to their foreheads, and shouted, launching an attack on Chi Zhaoping!

Although there were still 5,000 people around Chi Zhaoping, he was caught off guard.

What a good guy, a big battle, it would be better to be a family change again.

This sudden change caused the entire battlefield situation to suddenly reverse. After Di Wulun noticed the situation there, he was also quite surprised. Ma Yuan was a hundred miles away and he had to arrive in the evening at the earliest!

But in order to boost morale, the fifth replies pretended to be confident, and the plan was successful, and laughed loudly.

"It's my family's 'thousand-mile horse' that has arrived!"

...
