Chapter 98 Yellow Turban Rebellion

There was a commotion in Luoyang, and the city bells were ringing. The twelve gates of Luoyang were sealed, and the five non-Northern Army schools in the imperial city were all disarmed. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed.

Zou Jing led the Suwei battalion to guard the palace.

After laying down and putting on their armor, they remounted their horses and put on their armor, and reviewed the Northern Army.

The Northern Army was not in trouble, and the fifth battalion was supervising the defense of Luoyang City. Zhi Jinwu led his troops to inspect the residents of the city, going up to Sangong's mansion and down to wine shops and restaurants.

Heavy gold and black armor, both men and horses, with roaring hoofs and heavy cavalry, trampled the streets of the inner and outer cities of Luoyang to silence the complainers in the city one after another.

In the spring of 184 AD, starting from martial law in Luoyang, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the late Han Dynasty.

The fifth battalion of the Northern Army was the Han imperial army, and the Changshui battalion was formed for the Huns cavalry and was stationed in Chang'an.

Although the infantry battalion stationed troops in Chang'an, the elite also cooperated with the Shesheng battalion and garrisoned the outer city of Luoyang.

Among the five armies, the Tunqi camp under Fu Wan's command was the elite of the Han army. From the beginning of the camp's establishment, all members were Han cavalry.

Probably because of Genzheng Miaohong, the garrison cavalry system can be said to be the great weapon of this era - heavy cavalry. There are seven hundred guards and no garrison troops outside. If there are vacancies, the best three generations of Han cavalry elites from all over the country will be selected to join the army.

.

The Yueqi battalion led by Zhang Feng belonged to the light cavalry. It was originally formed as an army from Baiyue people. Later, due to the difficulty of restraining the Yue people, it was gradually replaced by the elite of the army and became a forbidden cavalry battalion that complemented the Tunqi.

Two thousand Yue cavalry were organized, and seven hundred were mobilized to become the light cavalry guards guarding the palace. More than a thousand forbidden troops, led by Zhang Feng, rushed to Luoyang Imperial City for maneuver.

Seeing that Luoyang seemed to have turned into a place of fierce fighting for a moment, Zhang Feng, who had never experienced such a battle before, felt guilty and asked his soldiers to rush to Luoyuan in Luobei to find his son-in-law Liu Cang to come to help.

.

At this time, in the "Luyuan" station of Ruruo Military Camp Ranch, Liu Cang was wearing armor and secretly frowned at the people in his sight who were wearing yellow scarves.

Deer Park is more than a hundred miles away from Luoyang and is located in the middle of Mang Mountain. It was originally built to facilitate the emperor to eat deer and to capture wild deer.

However, because His Majesty Liu Hong was frugal and unwilling to work for food and drink, the place was abandoned after it was built.

Forget it, it’s a bit shameless and we can’t make it up anymore.

This place was the ranch station that Zhang Rang transferred to build for Liu Cang.

The station is a wasteland in the mountains, covering an area of ​​100 acres. Houses are built on the higher ground and there are more than 1,000 paved roads, which are living areas.

There is no wall outside, and it is surrounded by deer and horses. It is called Deer Garden.

The terrain on both sides of the living area is gently sloping, and due to good ventilation, there are stables for pigs on the left and cowsheds for sheep on the right. Except for those sheep pens, the other layout does not seem to have anything to do with deer.

Of course, Liu Cang had also thought about catching some wild deer earlier, but he had been busy with chores at the station.

After a few months, except for demolishing Wang Yun's house, I had no time to spare. In a blink of an eye, a group of rebel bandits wearing yellow scarves and armed with knives and guns appeared here.

"Sir, there are many serfs from the Xingjia Village earlier. Are they crazy?" The Luyuan warning had already sounded. Next to Liu Cang, a soldier wearing a brimmed helmet and full armor said to Liu Cang.

It is said that he is a soldier, because this man is fully equipped with the heavy infantry equipment of the army. He has heavy armor with spiked knees and a steel helmet and iron boots. Anyone who can wear this set of equipment is an elite in the army, but the soldier in front of him is somewhat weak.

He is Liu Yuan, a member of Liu Cang's family. Except for the earliest twenty villagers, the other heavy infantrymen were also reluctantly selected from the refugees. They are strong men who can wear this body armor and not be paralyzed after moving twice.

Chinese.

No way, the elites in the army are not only equipped with iron armor that is difficult to penetrate with swords and guns. Not counting weapons, the armor with skirts and shoulder pads is heavier than ordinary armor, weighing more than seventy kilograms.

Although Liu Cang recruited many young and strong refugees, it was obvious that the physical fitness of these young people could not be compared with the elites in the army for the time being.

Liu Cang purchased thousands of slaves, including the guards who had been gifted on the road to Luoyang earlier, and recruited 6,000 domestic servants. Excluding 2,000 old and weak, the 5,000 were almost all young men and women between the ages of 13 and 25.

After two or three months of adapting, those who can now fight in heavy armor can only make up the hundred heavy steps in front of them.

"Sir!" A clear female voice sounded, with noisy footsteps behind her.

Liu Cang looked back and saw that a large number of female soldiers holding long-handled sickles and wearing light tube armor gathered from all directions and lined up behind Liu Cang.

"Well, it's those people from Xingjia Village. Prepare for war and get the crossbows. If they don't come over, that's it. Anyone who takes five hundred steps can be killed, and those who take a hundred steps can be killed without mercy." Liu Cang ordered the girls coldly.

"Here!" the girls responded, their voices trembling a little. Although Liu Cang had trained them during this period, they had never really experienced fighting.

The number of people in sight whose heads were wrapped in yellow scarves and whom Liu Cang designated as murderable was probably in the thousands.

Xingjia Village was a village that was driven away by Liu Cang earlier because of the obstruction and was prohibited from grazing nearby. It is a village that still retains strong Xiongnu customs.

Female soldiers. Among the people preparing for the battle behind Liu Cang, there were only one hundred soldiers, and the remaining one thousand were all female soldiers.

They were not recruited, but Liu Cang bought them from their families and prepared to train them as elite guards.

The reason why he chose a group of young girls as his training targets was really not Liu Cangpiao's. Although it was inevitable that he had some bad taste in his heart, the fundamental reason was that he was somewhat helpless.

The people you buy are different from the people you recruit, at least they will be different for a long time in the future.

If he wants to make great efforts to cultivate, there is no need for the corruption of feudal ideas. For the time being, Liu Cang prefers to have nothing to do with the outside world, and all the people who are sold are mainly him.

It was said that there were many people selling sons and daughters in the Central Plains. Liu Cang was definitely inclined to buy some young men to serve as his team.

But when he really went to look for them, Liu Cang discovered that selling boys was very rare among refugees. Occasionally, he saw someone who was either a baby boy or wearing crotchless pants.

Most of the people being sold were girls, and it was impossible to find young men who Liu Cang recognized as selling themselves.

Today's Han people are really very different from those of later generations. Even if the young and strong refugees are really short of food and drink, they are more likely to rob than sell themselves.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Household servants are probably their bottom line. Those who are responsible will choose domestic servants, and those who are rogue will either join the army or join the bandits if they cannot find a big employer that recruits hangers-on.

.

If there is anything special, it is that Liu Cang chose people, not those who had not been Han for three generations.

This also led to the fact that Zhang Rang originally said that there would be no problem if there were no more than ten thousand servants, but Liu Cang only managed to recruit several thousand servants with the young and old after a lot of effort.

In the end, Liu Cang could only buy back a thousand young women, and wanted to try to form a female soldier, the Flying Bear Battalion.

Nowadays, there are many requests for Zhang Rang. Within a few months, Zhang Rang got thousands of wolverines for Liu Cang.

The spiritual beast Flying Bear led the original ten cubs in a group fight and subdued them. After biting and beating them one by one, nearly half of them died. The remaining wolverines all accepted the constraints of the Flying Bear and became

Liu Cang’s breeding target.

Thousands of women, using long hooks and sickles as blades, learned the flag-breaking formation chapter. Each of them carried a wolverine with them, and trained them individually, using the flying bear as their nickname.

However, the so-called Flying Bear Camp is still not worthy of its name, that is, it is a group of girls who cannot wear heavy armor, cannot lift heavy swords, and cannot even subdue a wolverine.

Now Liu Cang has no shortage of food and grass, but their meat is limited, and they haven't settled down yet, so they haven't been trained to the extreme.

Except for a dozen team leaders who received special treatment, these pseudo-female soldiers now only practice for half an hour every day. The rest of the time is spent doing farm work, preparing the land, feeding animals, etc.

Wolverines are Liu Cang's beasts and obey the command of Fei Xiong, but this obedience is not absolute. Fei Xiong can prevent them from attacking the female soldiers of Fei Xiong Camp.

But if these female soldiers want to command wolverines, whether they cultivate feelings or subdue them violently, they still have to go through some training and domestication.

Even if the training is not good, it is normal for Fei Xiong to be bitten and scratched by a wolverine when he is not around.

Wolverines are highly aggressive, but they are not very large and are less dangerous to deal with head-on.

Now the Flying Bear Camp is Liu Cang's attempt to recruit wild beasts. The temporary effect is very poor. Maybe after these wolverines give birth to cubs again, it will be better to train them from the cubs on.

Or if these female soldiers are trained to kill wolverines with one slap, they may become more obedient.

"Send a signal to Pan Feng, besiege and kill!"

The slogan "The sky is dead" has been heard in the distance. This slogan is a suicide. Liu Cang got on his horse and ordered Pan Feng, who was in charge of the corner camp, to attack. There was a war horse grazing area over there. Pan Feng also led 200 cavalrymen.

military.

The Yellow Turbans of Xingjia Village! Wearing Han clothes, shouting in Chinese, and having Han surnames.

However, they still retain the blood of the Xiongnu. It has long been unclear to outsiders when they entered the Han Dynasty. They still respect the habits of the Xiongnu and have been enslaved by their "nobles" for generations.

The Han people also had many slaves and servants, but they were completely different from these "exterminated" serfs.

The families born in the "Han" group in front of us are too ugly. If they can be dealt with early, it would be best to avoid bringing harm to future generations and causing trouble for thousands of years.
