Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 292 Refugee Barracks
The destruction of Shiting City and the killing of Zhang Chun undoubtedly sounded the alarm for another big star in the Yellow Turban area in Lujiang.In the past three days, there have been more than three times as many sentinels and spies in the Lujiang Army and its surrounding counties.What's more important is that the attention of these sentry riders and spies are all focused on Shiting City.As soon as Zhao Lei's Yangzhou Army sent troops, Ou Xing would get the news immediately.

However, under such strict surveillance, there was no movement on Zhao Lei's side.The gates of Shiting City are closed every day, and no common people are allowed to enter or leave.Therefore, at best, Ou Xing could only send spies outside Shiting City to monitor. As for the affairs inside the city, the Yellow Turban Army knew nothing about it.

A month later, there was finally some movement in Shiting City.The Yangzhou army stationed in the city finally broke out of the cocoon, walked out of Shiting City, and set up camp outside the city without further movement.After Ou Xing got the news, he immediately gathered the troops near Lujiang and defended the city.But in this way, he would give up all the counties and counties around Lujiang to Zhao Lei.

At this time, Zhao Lei came to the gate of the military camp outside the city. After the last battle with Zhang Chun's army, the number of the current Yangzhou army has been reduced from 1 to 8000.In addition, people will be sent to guard Shiting City, so the number of soldiers of the Yangzhou Army on this expedition is only 7000.These Yangzhou army officers and soldiers who once shined in the alliance of defeating Dong have been assembled under Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao and other generals.This troop had been practicing in the barracks in Shiting City before, and sometimes went to perform tasks for Zhao Lei, and patrolled the streets at night.After Zhao Lei finished handling Shiting's internal affairs, he sent troops.At this time, the Yangzhou Army hadn't fought for a month, and everyone was very excited when they heard that they were going to go to war this time.

The brave and ruthless soldiers of the Yangzhou Army yelled "My Lord is mighty" before Zhao Lei gave the order to send troops, and then followed Zhao Lei to rush towards the south under Zhao Lei's order of "Go".The three armies are all fully armed. The general soldiers hold machetes or spears. The soldiers of the Shijun camp carry bows and arrows on their backs, long scimitars hanging from their waists, hold reins in both hands, and ride tall horses. Run as fast as you want.

At this time, Zhao Lei had already received the news that Ou Xingjiang's troops had assembled in Lujiang, so Zhao Lei also ordered the Yangzhou Army to march immediately. The nearest city to Lujiang County was a county called Qianshan.This county is called Qianshan because there is a mountain next to the city called Qianshan.

According to the information obtained by Wang Yue, when the Yellow Turban Remnant Party retreated to Qianshan County, they forcibly moved all the people in the city.Many people who refused to move were massacred on the spot by soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army as an example to others.Therefore, after killing a few quarrelsome civilians, no one dared to resist the Yellow Turban Army.

After Zhao Lei heard the news, he was furious.He ordered the troops to speed up the march, striving to capture Lujiang County as soon as possible, so as to prevent more people from being persecuted by the Yellow Turban Army.

And Zhao Lei's heart is very bright at this moment, Ou Xing's massacre of the people at this moment is tantamount to self-destruction.If you can't win the hearts of the people during the war, the final result can only be the same as the previous Zhang Chun.

Zhao Lei and the others galloped all night. At dawn, they were exhausted, so he temporarily ordered his subordinates to stop by the roadside to rest, eat some dry food, and drink some water.After resting for a while, continue to get on the horse. If you drive for half a day, you will probably be able to reach Qianshan County.In ancient times, there was no such means of transportation as cars, and they could only rely on the power of horses, but no matter how fast a horse ran, it could not be as fast as a four-wheel-drive car.

Qianshan County was about [-] miles away from where Zhao Lei camped last night. According to the speed of the army horses, Qianshan County should be not far ahead.

The scenery along the way is still good, with mountains, water and farmland.On both sides of the mountain road are densely vegetated green hills. A cool and gurgling stream appears and disappears under the mountain road. Inlaid on the hillside along the banks of the stream.The mist rises in the verdant and green wheat fields, and occasionally one or two swallows can be seen flying over the field ridges, cutting out a line of green in the hazy mist.

But no one would have thought that such a beautiful pastoral scenery would soon be destroyed by war and become a barren land.But at this time in Chang'an, the corrupt Han court only knew how to enjoy themselves, and the people who didn't wear warm clothes and had enough to eat had to rise up one after another.Zhao Lei thought about Dong Zhuo's prosperous and prosperous days in Chang'an, and he felt angry in bursts.Fortunately, I didn't stay in Luoyang with Yuan Shao and the others to continue the dream of the Allied Army and return to Yangzhou early.Otherwise, if you really go to Luoyang with Yuan Shao and you, and look at the prosperity of the metropolis, you will ignore the suffering of the people at the bottom over time.

Zhao Lei didn't see many refugees along the way, perhaps because they had already gone to Lujiang with the Yellow Turban Army, or hid in the mountains, or had already migrated to other places.But that's good too, at least Zhao Lei doesn't have to worry about taking care of these refugees when he's marching.

The further you go to Qianshan County, the more desolate the scene you see. There are dilapidated villages everywhere, and a pile of bones can be seen on some ground.Zhao Lei felt a little uncomfortable, turned around, and said to Zhang Liao and others: "You continue to maintain the formation and move forward at a constant speed. Qianshan is not far ahead. Zilong, you and I go ahead to see the situation first."

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for anyone to answer, Zhao Lei pinched the horse's belly forcefully. The mount felt the power brought by the master, let out a long hiss and suddenly accelerated and ran forward, and Zhao Yun was also galloping the horse at this time Chasing after Zhao Lei who went first.

Zhao Lei ran forward for less than ten miles, and suddenly saw a simple camp. There was still smoke in the camp. People in ordinary clothes were walking around non-stop. Farm tools are used as weapons, guarding the place where the cooking smoke rises.

He reined in the horse, gradually slowed down, hid in a small wood, and observed the surroundings with unique keenness.Everything was so calm, he could be sure that the bandits hadn't sent out their sentries, otherwise, he wouldn't have run to the rear of the camp smoothly.

"Brother, what's going on here? Didn't the spies say that Ou Xing has assembled his troops? What's the situation in this camp?" Zhao Yun asked.

Zhao Lei made a quiet gesture, then tied the horse under the tree, pulled Zhao Yun, and walked towards the edge of the forest. Through the forest, he saw the camp 1000 meters away. Zhao Yun said: "Zilong, this place seems to be just a camp for wounded soldiers. There are only five or six hundred people, but their identities are still unclear. It seems that we have to wait for our army to arrive before we can surround them."

So he and Zhao Yun rode back from the woods again, and stopped at the side of the road after running two miles, waiting for Zhang Liao and others to arrive.

After a while, Zhang Liao and a thousand Qingqi came one after another. Seeing Zhao Lei parked by the side of the road, they stopped the troops. Zhang Liao and Ma Chao rode forward, cupped their hands and said, "My lord! What's going on ahead?"

Zhao Lei said: "There is a bandit camp in front of the wounded soldiers. There are more than 500 people, all of whom are ordinary people. Few of them actually have weapons. They only take some farm tools. They don't have long-range weapons. Come with me. , Surround the wounded barracks, but don't hurt anyone, anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao went back to the troops respectively to pass orders. The army made clear their purpose. Zhao Lei raised the spear in his hand and made a move forward. All the people drew out their weapons in unison. After Zhao Lei gave the order , Then galloped out.

In the bandit wounded barracks, everyone was busy cooking and eating. People with various injuries were lying in the simple tents. The whole barracks presented a peaceful atmosphere.

Suddenly, the ground shook tremblingly, and the sound of horseshoes sounded from behind the woods. One by one, the Yangzhou army in armor and holding weapons came galloping with ferocious faces.

The people in the barracks were startled. They hurriedly grabbed the hoes, sickles, shovels, wooden sticks and other agricultural tools around them as weapons, and they were close together and scattered around the tent, trying to protect the wounded in the tent. soldier.

Zhao Lei led thousands of Yangzhou troops to quickly surround this simple camp. There were no wooden fences outside, only a human wall made of flesh and blood surrounding the camp. When Zhao Lei rushed over with his troops, he did not choose to escape. Maybe it's because I'm numb, and I don't have anything to eat wherever I go, so I might as well fight it out.

The Yangzhou army formed a large circle at the fastest speed, surrounded more than 500 bandit soldiers with farm tools as weapons, but all of them did not attack, but stood in place, quietly Wait there quietly.

Surrounded by the crowd, Zhao Lei rode out, moved the spear in his hand forward, and shouted loudly: "You are already surrounded, quickly put down the guys in your hands, and you will have something to eat after surrendering! I am Zhao Lei, the governor of Yangzhou, Put down your weapons, I won't hurt you."
