Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 826 Yellow Turbans and Dawn
Chapter 826 Yellow Turbans and Dawn
"Every time at this time, I miss Baima Yicong!"
Zhang Ren felt helpless as he looked at the soldiers capturing prisoners all over the mountains. Capturing prisoners was also a troublesome matter. After all, this was someone else's territory. If they ran too far or dragged on for too long, they would be caught.
"It's about time to let them come back!" Zhang Song also shook his head.
Upon receiving the order, Oswin extinguished the sun in his hand, and then led the Solar Legion to drive the captured prisoners back towards the camp.
Zhang Song controlled the clouds, allowing the moonlight to shine on the entire camp, forming a road sign.
"We only caught 12,000. If we continue to catch them, we should be able to catch more."
Oswald counted the number of prisoners with some regret. For their first battle, this one could be considered a resounding victory.
If it were on a normal battlefield, they would be able to capture at least 30,000 to 50,000 people, but unfortunately they couldn't take too many risks this time.
"Hurry up and consolidate the camp! Send someone to report to the rear!" Zhang Song felt a little regretful, but he paid more attention to other aspects.
He quickly flipped through the maps, letters and intelligence found in the camp. The other party evacuated in a hurry, and although some of it was destroyed, the remaining things were still very valuable.
Relying on these scattered information, Zhang Song gradually pieced together a general situation in his mind.
"That's not good!"
Zhang Song's face was a little gloomy, which made Zhang Ren and Oswald look puzzled.
Logically speaking, this wave of victory should be considered a good start for them, so why does Zhang Song look so unhappy?
Wutugu bit the lamb leg in his hand, glanced at Zhang Song, and then lowered his head. Zhang Song was ugly to begin with, and now with his gloomy face he looked even more terrifying. Even Wutugu didn't dare to look at him any longer and quickened the pace of eating the roasted whole lamb.
His intuition told him that if Zhang Song showed this expression, it would be difficult for him to eat good food next time, and he had to hurry up and eat.
"We are in big trouble!" Zhang Song's face was gloomy.
"Our previous estimate was too optimistic. The 400,000 Qing troops stationed here are purely garrisons and have nothing to do with the mainland!"
"Is there any difference?" Zhang Ren blinked, not understanding what Zhang Song meant.
"It means that the Qing army probably won't treat the people in this area as human beings... It also means that we will face an unimaginable number of people..."
After all, Oswald had been a Kushan, so he immediately understood what Zhang Song meant.
What you fear most when fighting on someone else's territory is the local people's fearless resistance. The combined fighting power of the people and the army is beyond imagination.
The current situation means that the Qing army may use some inhumane secret techniques against the local people.
What's worse is that they knew the Qing army's secret technique - the secret technique of demons and immortals.
They may have to face the impact of millions of people who are not afraid of death.
With this number, even if you send white horses to chop them down, I estimate they will be exhausted.
What's worse is that they were afraid that the Qing army would do something even more inhumane.
And based on their understanding of the Qing army, they can really come up with such a thing.
Zhang Ren's face suddenly changed. Even if he was stupid, he realized what they were going to face next.
"No, it's not the worst yet!" Zhang Song made a judgment after calming down a little.
"The enemy did not directly mobilize the army to attack Wu Anjun, but trained new troops here. It should not be possible to go to the extreme."
"But I'm afraid we can't avoid the human wave tactics..." Zhang Ren's face didn't look very good.
"Consolidate the camp first, and report our findings to the rear!" Zhang Song let out a breath slowly, and started to talk to Zhang Ren and Oswald.
No matter what, at least we need to stabilize the morale of the troops first. Besides, they are just the vanguard troops, so let the people behind them worry about these troubles.
Oswald seemed to want to say something but stopped in the end. Just as Zhang Song said, they were just the vanguard troops. Even if they had other ideas, they had to wait until the follow-up troops arrived.
"I should have picked some Xiliang cavalry earlier!"
After the military and political court in the rear learned of Zhang Song's report, Mu Yi frowned.
When it comes to dealing with human wave tactics, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the best countermeasure. They have a long stamina bar, strong defense, and can withstand the impact of a mixture of miscellaneous soldiers and elite troops. They can fight against this combination to the greatest extent.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already considered this before, so I specially mobilized General Li Dian to go there!"
Mu Yi was stunned for a moment. He recalled Li Dian's abilities, but did not find anything he could rely on.
Zhang Liang smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, you may not know that after General Li Dian cut off the power of the immortal way, I helped him reshape the talent of the legion!"
Zhang Liang's spiritual talent does not have this ability.
But Zhang Liang inherited Xiao He's legacy.
Some of Xiao He's spiritual talents are similar to those of Masinde, that is, the ability to tap into a person's potential and develop this power.
It was with this ability that Xiao He discovered Liu Bang and Han Xin.
Li Dian happened to be one of the people Zhang Liang discovered had buried their talents.
Li Dian's biggest problem is that he followed his cousin to practice Taoism. According to Zhang Liang's current view, this Taoism is like a coffin that can help you withstand the erosion of time.
But correspondingly, you will also suppress your own strength because of this coffin, thereby suppressing your own abilities.
This is actually not a disadvantage, but a measure to preserve one's energy and spirit as much as possible.
Zhang Liang helped Li Dian to abolish the power of immortality and reshaped his legion's talents.
Legion talent itself is the sublimation of self-cognition and recognition by soldiers. It can be continuously deepened and of course can also be directly self-modified.
Gao Lan completed this series of transformations by accident. Of course, the price was quite heavy, so heavy that Gao Lan himself did not want to experience it a second time.
The effect of Li Dian's legion talent is very simple. When killing others, he can transfer the spirit of the dead enemy to other troops.
It greatly enhances the endurance of friendly forces, which will be a great restraint for this kind of human wave tactics.
"A sacrificial legion talent?" Mu Yi nodded. Zhang Liang's plan was indeed cautious. He even had a plan for this situation, but he was still a little worried.
"But even so, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against the Qing army. Where do you think we should draw some reinforcements from?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. The General Kusroyi whom I recommended will resolve this matter!"
Yang Xiu took a step forward and spoke confidently. He had also anticipated this, so he had specifically mentioned Kusroyi when he recommended him. "Kusroyi?"
Zhang Liang frowned. Even though he had a photographic memory, he still lowered his head and flipped through Kusroyi's information. After a little thought, he suddenly realized it.
Sometimes, the ability of an officer cannot be explained clearly on paper, and Zhang Liang had never seen Kusroyi, so his judgment of Kusroyi was not accurate.
Now that Yang Xiu spoke confidently, Zhang Liang instantly understood what else could be done about the so-called dawn.
"General Kusroyi's Dawn can deepen the will of the lower classes to resist oppression. We can mobilize them locally and also raise an auxiliary army corps!"
Yang Xiu spoke confidently, feeling somewhat proud that he could outdo Zhang Liang in this matter.
Zhang Liang did not say anything. The competition between advisers was based on information asymmetry. He used Li Dian and Yang Xiu used Kusroyi. He was indeed suppressed.
This also forced Zhang Liang to re-examine the officers of Kushan and Persian descent. He found that his understanding of these officers might not be enough, which was definitely not a good sign for a wise man.
"I've slept for too long, and my brain is a little rusty!" Zhang Liang chuckled. There are so many heroes in the world, and getting up again is definitely the right decision.
After Mu Yi learned about this, he also sent the additional information to the front.
"I didn't expect General Kusroyi to have such ability?" Lu Xun looked at Kusroyi in surprise.
"Marshal, how about letting General Kusroyi join my army? I will lead people to these areas to recruit a group of young and strong men to serve as auxiliary troops?" Bo Cai took the initiative to speak.
"Although my abilities are limited, I have quite a bit of experience in commanding miscellaneous soldiers!" Bo Cai said with a smile.
After knowing Kusroyi's abilities, he naturally had a liking for Kusroyi.
The will of the lower class to resist oppression is so similar to that of the Yellow Turbans. This made Bo Cai think of Kusroyi and show goodwill to him at the first moment.
"This...is good!"
Although Lu Xun didn't know Bo Cai very well, he knew that since Bo Cai was recommended as deputy marshal at this critical juncture, he must be quite capable.
Besides, he was aware of Bo Cai's identity as a member of the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turbans were veterans in the grassroots resistance.
After receiving the order from Lu Xun, Bo Cai led Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Kusroyi and others to march in another direction.
Their goal was very clear, which was to establish a new camp to complement Lu Xun's base camp.
Facing possible human wave tactics, this response is more prudent.
Unlike Zhang Ren and his team who were lucky enough to capture the unguarded camp, Bo Cai and his team were discovered as soon as they approached.
Before Bo Cai and his men could organize an attack, a rain of arrows shot towards them from a distance.
"Raise the shield!" Zhou Cang gave a loud order as he looked at the arrows whistling towards him from afar.
The shields in their hands are special full-body shields that normal soldiers cannot use at all, but they are just normal soldiers.
The soldiers under Zhou Cang who led the charge were not normal soldiers at all.
The name of the Yellow Turbans has almost been buried in the history of Xinghan, but the heritage of the Yellow Turbans has not disappeared.
This group of legions mobilized from the rear are none other than the Yellow Turbans' inherited legion, the Yellow Turban Warriors, and can be considered the first Yellow Heaven reserve legion.
The purpose of this legion's existence is to quickly provide reinforcements to the First Huangtian, which is a bit like the relationship between Feixiong and Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
However, they now have an additional development direction, which is to undergo the Primaris surgery and become a member of the Primaris Emperor's guards.
Their training route is different from that of the Emperor's Guards, but their physical fitness can also meet the requirements.
Hundreds of large shields as tall as a person were easily raised by the Yellow Turban strongmen in the front, and then a rain of arrows hit the large shields.
The Yellow Turban warriors moved forward with their shields raised expressionlessly. The impact that might have been a powerful force for others was just a drizzle for them.
The Yellow Turban Warriors continued to approach, making the Qing army in the camp a little anxious, and then a large number of regular soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Yellow Turban Warriors army with guns.
After three hundred steps, Zhou Cang remained indifferent. After two hundred steps, the Yellow Turban strongman remained indifferent.
Only when they actually rushed to a hundred steps did the Yellow Turban Warriors Legion move, and the Yellow Turban Warrior in the front threw the shield in his hand directly away.
With a scream, a row of shields flashed a black light and directly knocked down a group of soldiers on the opposite side. This close-range super throw was fully demonstrated in this dense formation.
The spearmen who were facing the Yellow Turban warriors fell down in unison in that instant.
The Yellow Turban warriors in the first row retreated in an orderly manner, and the Yellow Turban warriors behind them strode forward and began to attack with their shields.
Disrupting the formation and then charging is the tactic used by the Yellow Turban warriors. Especially when facing a group of spearmen, this is their tactic with the highest success rate.
Once they rush into our camp, they will be like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
The officers and soldiers of the Qing army were well aware of this. At that point, it would be completely powerless to turn the situation around. Therefore, a large number of elite troops rushed out of the camp, intending to besiege the Yellow Turban Warriors Corps together with the spearmen phalanx.
Kusroyi led the Dawn Legion directly forward.
He and Zhou Cang came to lead the charge, so how could he just watch Zhou Cang being besieged?
"Fire arrows!"
A rain of arrows burst out, and the dense rain of arrows covered the spearmen phalanx in front, protecting the Yellow Turban strongmen from rushing into the phalanx.
Then Kusroyi took the dawn and split into two, intercepting the elite Qing troops that were encircling from both wings, and escorted Zhou Cang into the camp.
"Dual-talented elite troops? A pure army of will?"
The officers of the Qing army noticed Kusroyi's condition at the first moment. The opponent was not the Military Soul Legion, but actually the Pure Will Legion.
You should know that normal legions involving will almost all require the Royal Guards or even three talents, and the Kusroyi legion is obviously a special legion.
And such a special legion is obviously not such a simple existence.
Kusroyi had a blank expression on his face; he knew his mission.
That is to recruit enough vassal troops, just as they were recruited before.
But Kusroyi was not moved at all. They had climbed out of the valley, and no matter what, they were heading upwards.
Xinghan saved them and gave them the opportunity to move up, and they must seize this opportunity to change the fate of their class.
No matter what the enemy is, he will defeat it, for no other reason than that they are Dalits.
