Chapter 19 First time military use ()

After Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang said goodbye, Yan Bin couldn't wait to find the best blacksmith in Zhuo County to create weapons for Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, who had no weapons yet. He created a Qinglong Yanyue Sword for Guan Yu weighing 82 kilograms, called "Cold and Beauty Saw", and created a 80-pound steel spear called "Snake Spear". He created a "Battle King's Sword" for himself, which was imitated by Fang Tian Painting Halberd, which weighed 60 kilograms.

Because the more than 100 horses given by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were all good horses produced in the desert. Therefore, Yan Bin exchanged war horses for generals such as Huang Zhong, Wang Yue, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other war horses. Zhao Yun chose a white horse, Zhang Fei chose a dark horse, Guan Yu chose a green horse, and Yan Bin himself chose a maroon-red magical horse.

Regarding the army's arrangements, Yan Bin led 50 cavalry as personal guards. Zhang Fei led 150 heavy cavalry; Zhao Yun led 400 light cavalry; Huang Zhong led 500 archers with 100 arrows; Wang Yue led 400 fighting infantry trained in accordance with the requirements of modern special forces; Guan Yu led 500 heavy infantry holding large shields; the remaining 1,000 light infantry included Wei Yan and Xu Huang each led 500, all of them were spearmen holding long spears.

Although each person leads a maximum of 500 soldiers per song. Yan Bin all appointed them as lieutenants. According to the regular military system of the imperial court, the intermediate general with 5,000 troops, Yan Bin didn't care about that at this time. He then appointed Tian Feng and Ju Su as military advisors to offer wine. Such a small and powerful army was formed.

A few days later, Liu Yan asked Yan Bin to go to discuss matters. It turned out that the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Cheng Zhiyuan came to Zhuo County, and Liu Yan wanted to invite Yan Bin to defeat the enemy. Yan Bin thought that Liu Bei had eliminated Cheng Zhiyuan with only 500 township brave men. Now he had 3,000 elite soldiers and so many generals, which was not a piece of cake, so he patted his chest and agreed.

The next day, Yan Bin led 3,000 people out in full swing. When he arrived at the foot of Daxing Mountain, he received a report from the scouts that was only 10 miles away from the Yellow Turban Army. Yan Bin ordered the troops to stop and rest and wait for work. He and Tian Feng, Ju Su and Zhou Yu climbed the mountain halfway up the mountain to watch the appearance and military situation of the Yellow Turban Army. There were only a very small number of leaders of the Yellow Turban Army riding bad horses, and the funny thing was that some leaders rode donkeys and mules. As for the soldiers under him, less than a quarter of them were holding weapons, most of them were hoes, wooden sticks and bamboo poles, and some people were mingling in the vast crowd without empty hands.

Yan Bin forced his smile and turned his head to ask Tian Feng seriously. Ju Su: "Two military advisors, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

Tian Feng ignored Zhou Yu who was laughing aside and replied seriously: "It depends on how the lord wants to fight? If it is a random fight, as long as our 3,000 troops rushed forward, they can defeat the 'ant thief'. If the lord wants other results, please explain first."

Yan Bin scratched his head and said, "Actually, those are all suffering. They are forced by form and have to rebel. I think they should not kill too much. As long as they kill those leaders and deadly members, the rest will let them live. But try to capture them as much as possible, otherwise they will run to other places to cause trouble. This is also saving them."

Tian Feng replied: "In this way, the lord can order Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Xu Huang's troops to go around the battlefield and prevent the 'ant thieves' from retreating. Then use Zhao Yun's light cavalry to cruise around the battlefield to prevent the 'ant thieves' from escaping. Use Zhang Fei's heavy cavalry as the vanguard, Guan Yu's heavy infantry followed behind, and Wang Yue's fighting infantry as the reserve team. You can capture the vast majority of the thieves."

Yan Bin asked Ju Su's opinion again. Ju Su curled his lips: "Yuan Hao has already said such a simple matter in detail, and I have nothing to add."

Yan Bin then ordered Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Xu Huang to secretly walk around the rear of the Yellow Turban Army with Huang Zhong as the leader to form an array. He ordered Zhang Fei to lead 150 heavy cavalry from the headquarters to take the lead, Guan Yu's heavy infantry was the second team, and Wang Yue's fighting infantry was the third team. He launched an attack.

Facing the iron cavalry of Zhang Fei's troops, the Yellow Turban Army had no archers, and everyone stood there at a loss for a moment. Deng Mao, the deputy general of Cheng Zhiyuan, who was leading the troops, saw how this was possible, and hurriedly rushed forward to stop Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei saw the enemy general running towards him, and a spear stabbed Deng Mao's chest. Deng Mao saw this with his hands holding the spear in his hand from bottom to top to open Zhang Fei's spear. However, the gap in power was too big. Deng Mao's spear only lifted Zhang Fei's spear a few inches, and the spear had already pierced Deng Mao's body. However, Zhang Fei used to stab the chest, but now it was pierced into the throat. With Deng Mao's death, Zhang Fei and 150 heavy cavalry crashed into the Yellow Turban Army's formation, and a massacre began.

Seeing that Zhang Fei led more than 100 people, Cheng Zhiyuan turned his 50,000 camp to the earth, and hurriedly led people to come forward to stop him. At this time, he happened to meet Guan Yu who led the heavy infantry to catch up. Guan Yu quickly rushed to the rescue, and raised his sword and cut Cheng Zhiyuan, who was caught off guard. The Yellow Turban Army saw that the chief and deputy leaders were dead, and rushed back in a mess. But he didn't run far away. A rain of arrows came towards him, and hundreds of people fell down in an instant. Seeing that the road was blocked, he fled to both sides in a mess. However, he was driven back by Zhao Yun's light riding horse like a duck. At this time, Yan Bin's subordinates began to shout "Surrender and not kill". Faced with desperate situation, the Yellow Turban Army had to surrender. They threw down their weapons in a mess, knelt on the ground with a pale face, and the timid ones held their heads and squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms.

According to statistics after the war, more than 3,000 people were killed and trampled by their own people in this battle, and the rest were all captured, and none of them escaped. Except for a few minor injuries, none of them died in Yan Bin's troops.
