Chapter 106 Nanyang Main Force Arrives

July passed quietly.

August is coming.

Walking out of Guanyang City in the rainy season, the weather is clear and cloudless.

After being baptized by the war, this city once fell into loneliness and panic. With the victory of Wuyin soldiers, the hearts of the people soon settled down.

During this time, the Yellow Turban Army did not make a large-scale counterattack.

Although Wei Tong's death in Guanyang caused the panic of the Yellow Turban Army, Shangcai Gepo sent a full [-] troops to guard the southwest direction, and stationed troops less than [-] miles away from Guanyang.

However, the Yellow Turban Army only built camps and focused on defense, and did not continue to actively attack Guanyang City.

It's not that the Yellow Turbans didn't want to take back Guanyang.

It was because the Yellow Turban Army suffered a great loss in the battle of Pingyu.

Half a month ago, the Yellow Turban Liu Bi and the Gongdu Division dispatched a total of [-] troops to attack Pingyu. They planned to take down this Runan County City, but they were attacked by the Runan Army and the Jiujiang Army, and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Return in defeat.

From then on, Gong Du retreated in Gepo, while Liu Pi occupied the main city of Shangcai and could not hold on to it, while Huang Shao and He Man were entrenched in the northeast and northwest of Runan, forming a situation of mutual assistance between the north and the south.

But as battles broke out more and more frequently, the Yellow Turban Army finally fell behind, and the living space was constantly being compressed.

Because of this, the final decisive battle is approaching quietly. This will be a battle in which the officers and soldiers of the Han army are besieging and suppressing the Yellow Turban rebels.

For the decisive battle in Runan, in many people's minds, there is only a matter of time left.

But time is the most important thing for Mu Shan today. He is now reorganizing his troops. Once the reorganization is completely completed and the combat power is integrated, he will be qualified to become one of the leading generals in this battle.

……

In the school grounds in the east of the city, the sound of practice was deafening.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Soldiers are performing unified killing actions, and their shouts are magnificent.

Mu Shan walked by with his hands behind his back, he looked at these soldiers, and felt a little more at ease in his heart: "Cheng Luo, Li Yan, our personal guard battalion has almost recovered, but after the performance of the previous battle, our I found that the command is still a bit too general, so I decided to separate the three battalions to command the personal guard battalion. The two of you will assist me and form a battalion each. My personal guard battalion only needs to leave me with five hundred elite soldiers That's it, I can command five hundred soldiers like an arm!"

Mu Shan has self-knowledge. Although he is invincible at the front line, he is somewhat flawed in command. He is not as good as the former Commander Qu, nor is he as good as Zhao Hong and others who died in battle. Personally command too many soldiers and horses, some of them cannot be dispatched.

So he decided to separate the first main guard battalion under his command.

"promise!"

Cheng Luo and Li Yan nodded their heads.

Now the Guards Battalion is the main force, with more than 2000 soldiers, and the three of them are usually in command together. Now it is a good thing that the battalion is in command.

Mu Shan raised his head, looked at the barracks of the Pioneer Camp opposite, and asked Xunsheng: "How is the situation of the Pioneer Camp?"

In the first battle of Guanyang City, the Pioneer Battalion suffered the most damage and was almost crippled. He had no idea whether he could recover his combat effectiveness before attacking Shangcai.

"That boy Lei Hu is like his father, he acts decisively and decisively, he never procrastinates, and he is a bit thick-skinned. He has poached a lot of people from Li Yan's subordinates, my subordinates, and Zhou Cang's subordinates. At present, he is barely formed. A pioneer battalion of 500 men!"

Cheng Luo said: "Although the vanguard battalion is not as good as before in battle, but given time, after replenishing its troops, its combat effectiveness will be immeasurable!"

"Don't indulge that kid too much!"

Mu Shan said with a smile: "I know you all feel a little guilty towards that kid because of Lei Hu's death in battle, so you let him do whatever he wants. This kid is still young, so he should be tortured!"

"We didn't release the water. The main reason is that the young master (Mu Longtu) was too shrewd, so he fell for it!" Cheng Luo and Li Yan shook their heads quickly.

"never mind!"

Mu Shan waved his hand, and said: "That kid has Jing'er behind him to advise him, and being able to snatch someone out of your hands is also a skill!"

"The head of the family is giving different treatment!"

"It's so annoying!"

The two of them complained a little in their hearts.

"By the way, how is Deng Hong's Pingshan camp?"

Mu Shan changed the subject and asked.

Deng Hong's Xinye County soldiers, as well as the Luyang County soldiers and Xi'e County soldiers who were overwhelmed by Mushan, have been disbanded and reorganized to form a battalion of soldiers with more than 300 soldiers. The total number of soldiers in the three counties is actually 300 Soldiers and horses, but after experiencing the battle of Guanyang's fall, the battle of Guanyang's counter-seizure, and the battle of Mushan's forcible attack, there are only more than [-] left, but it can be regarded as a strong battalion.

"Deng Hong, a scholar, should not be underestimated!"

Cheng Luo said: "After he captured the two county soldiers, there was indeed some confusion at the beginning, and there were many dissatisfied people, but he did not use iron and blood to suppress it, but instead used a very gentle method, directly pulling one by one and beating one by one, forming a battalion. On the contrary, he silently controls the power in his own hands. This method is by no means an ordinary person. In addition, his Xinye direct descendants are veterans who have experienced bloody battles, and their combat effectiveness recovers quickly. The barracks also have a [-]% chance of winning!"

He thought for a while and said, "Master, did you send some personal guards to the Pingshan camp? Deng Hong is not one of us after all!"

"No!"

Li Yan shook his head: "Deng Hong has a good impression of us at this time. If we insert someone in, it's hard to say whether it will be effective. I'm afraid it will make Deng Hong feel disgusted!"

"Zhengfang is right!"

Mu Shan nodded and said: "I handed over these county soldiers to Deng Hong because the county government feared me and I couldn't go too far, but Deng Hong is someone who can be relied on as an ally. With soldiers on the left and right guarding us, we will be much safer, so don’t have conflicts with Deng Hong at this time!”

After all, he was born in the Yellow Turban and was not trusted.

If these county soldiers are forcibly recruited under their command, the county government will inevitably find a reason to deal with itself, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Jingping Camp?" The three of them walked and came to the east side of the school field. Mu Shan suddenly raised his head and looked at the easternmost position of the school field, a re-opened training ground, and a flag flying in the wind.

On the flag stand the words, Wuyin, Jingpingying.

Jingping Camp is the name of a camp of its own after the Yellow Turban captives surrendered, and the leader is Mu Shan's son, Mu Jing.

"You little bastard, just one battalion has more soldiers and horses than our current battalions!"

Looking at the densely packed figures in Jingping Camp, Mu Shan felt a little unbalanced.

A Jingping Battalion, with [-] soldiers, has now surpassed the sum of his Guards Battalion, Pioneer Battalion, and Cavalry Battalion. If it weren't for the Pingshan Battalion that was mobilized, the strength of his troops might not be as good as that of Mujing.

Just thinking about it makes people angry.

He asked Mujing to recruit to surrender, but he didn't expect that the recruit was a recruit, and he recruited himself.

"Master, although these yellow scarf soldiers have surrendered, isn't it too indulgent to let them form a battalion of their own? If we turn back before the battle, wouldn't it be worth the loss for us!" Cheng Luo also saw the Jingping battalion, and he thought more about it. Too much, said with some worry.

Although the commander-in-chief of this battalion is Mu Jing, the young head of the family, they have always surrendered as captives and cannot be trusted.

"do not worry!"

Mu Shan shook his head: "Jing'er is a ghost, Your Highness is as young as she is young, but her methods are not ordinary little girls. They can hold her back. Besides, Mu Jing should be alone now, we can't let him hide behind us all the time!"

"The master..."

Cheng Luo wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mu Shan.

"Zideng, after Lei Gong died in battle, I thought a lot about it. On the battlefield, you and I will die in battle. If we die in battle, what should they do? I have never wanted Jing'er to go to the battlefield, but there are some things that can be avoided It's luck, it's fate!"

Mu Shan said: "The battlefield is Mu Jing's fate. Since none of us can hide, let him learn to save his life on this battlefield!"

"promise!"

Cheng Luo took a deep breath, understood Mu Shan's painstaking efforts, and nodded vigorously.

"My lord has high expectations for Mulongtu?"

Li Yan asked tentatively.

"I was once hopeless!"

Mu Shan put his hands on his back, and looked into the distance: "In the battle of Wancheng, Qu Shuai died, and they all died. I was just a little lucky to leave Wancheng earlier, so I escaped my life, but in the end, I fell into the grass and turned into a bandit for life. There is no hope, and I don’t know when I will be forced to death by the officers and soldiers. If I say, when did I, Mushan, have ambitions, it should start when I saw Jinger lead the army to destroy the Zhu clan. My son, he was born Restless, since I have no future, I will make a future for my son, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of me, it doesn't matter!"

Li Yan was shocked in his heart. He never knew that Mushan put all his hopes on Mujing. That young man who surprised him and admired him did have a unique charm that infected many people, including himself. .

"Report!"

Suddenly, a fast horse came galloping.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Luo asked quickly.

"Report to the county lieutenant that the main force of the Nanyang army has arrived!"

The scout got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, and clapped his hands together to report: "Now we are camping by the river ten miles outside the city!"

"They came very quickly. It seems that the prefects of Yingchuan, Jiujiang, Runan, and Nanyang have already negotiated and are ready to jointly attack Shangcai. In this battle, who will lead our troops in Nanyang?"

"Captain Nanyang Huang Meng!" The scout reported.

"Come with me!"

Mu Shan waved his hand and said, "Let's go to meet our captain, and our main force in Nanyang!"

"promise!"

Cheng Luo and Li Yan nodded and followed closely behind.
