Yanzhou official road
Liu Zhang was marching towards Yingchuan with 2,100 people. Thinking of what happened three days ago, Liu Zhang still felt itchy with hatred.
When Huang Zhong and others selected the soldiers and went to collect military horse equipment, the arsenal staff told them that the arsenal was now empty and they could not get so much equipment together, and there was no horse at all.
Really not? Of course not. No matter how empty the arsenal is, can it be so small that it cannot equip a team of 2,000 people?
Because Xu You is causing trouble! Liu Zhang knew this and went to He Jin to reason.
He Jin cried and complained that the soldiers of the three armies had emptied their arsenals during the expedition, and even the left and right Yulin armies were severely lacking in weapons and equipment.
Of course Liu Zhang knew this was bullshit. The equipment of the Royal Forest Army was all newly replaced, and anyone who was not blind could see it.
Liu Zhang worked hard, but finally got some shabby equipment and fifty bad horses.
The weapons of these more than two thousand officers and soldiers are full of variety. Those with knives, swords, halberds, and spears. Some even carried wooden sticks. The armor was even more tattered.
No one would believe that this was a regular army of the imperial court. If you wear a yellow scarf on your head and say you are a Yellow Turban rebel, no one will doubt you.
What made Liu Zhang angry the most was that he was only given more than a hundred broken bows. Liu Zhang tried it and broke one. There are only a few hundred arrows.
Alas, Liu Zhang walked and sighed all the way.
It is impossible to realize the scene of conquering all directions with great vigor and arrogance. Wherever he goes, the thieves accept and receive.
If Huang Zhong and others hadn't led the troops well, morale would have been good. I'm afraid that if they can't reach Yingchuan, this battalion of soldiers and horses will have to disperse in a hurry!
Fortunately, Liu Zhang and the four men were fully armed, and there was no hope of getting any equipment. Liu Yan provided all the equipment.
The four people wearing armor were even more majestic, especially Na Dianwei, who was dressed in black armor and looked like an iron tower. Two large halberds were hung on the horse (Liu Zhang had already made a new iron halberd for Dian Wei in Luoyang).
Huang Zhong was wearing yellow armor, shining in the sun. The sun-chasing bow hangs under the horse, and the thick bow string makes people dizzy!
This is the four-stone bow that Liu Yan spent a lot of money to buy when he was in Jizhou!
Taishi Ci once tried to shoot arrows, but the effect was not as powerful as the three-stone bow. It's obviously caused by a lack of arm strength.
Taishi Ci was dressed in silver robes and armor, holding a spear, and looked very heroic.
The most dazzling one is Liu Zhang, who is wearing golden armor and is extremely dazzling.
Liu Zhang didn't want to be so high-profile, but he couldn't defeat Liu Yan.
Liu Yan said that this was an ancestral armor and it was very strong. Liu Zhang could only agree.
He was already tall and muscular. After wearing the golden armor, he becomes even more powerful.
Liu Yan also paid for the four horses. Although the four horses are not BMWs, they are the best war horses that Luoyang City can find.
Four horses and three sets of armor almost killed Liu Yan.
Whenever night approached, Liu Zhang ordered the troops to set up camp and never march at night.
When he led troops into battle for the first time, Liu Zhang was extremely cautious. He never marched in a hurry and maintained a pace of forty miles a day. .
The soldiers were improvised, and the equipment was too poor, so one can imagine the morale.
More than two thousand people are a drop in the bucket for the current Yingchuan battlefield, let alone these 'remnants'.
If Liu Zhang rushed to Huangfu Song now, he might be disliked.
After setting up camp, everyone gathered in Liu Zhang's tent.
"Han Sheng, if you encounter the Yellow Turban Army, will you be able to fight?"
"Lord, if we encounter a small group of Yellow Turbans, we will fight to the death or fight. If we encounter a large group of soldiers and horses..."
Huang Zhong looked helpless and did not say anything further. He believed that everyone understood.
Liu Zhang knew that what Huang Zhong said was pleasant. If the generals leading the army were not brave men, they would have absolutely no fighting power.
"Hey, damn Xu You, ignorant He Jin!"
"Lord, it's useless to curse Xu You to death now."
Taishi Ci saw Liu Zhang's depressed expression and spoke to comfort him.
"Lord, we might as well speed up our march to General Huangfu's army."
Liu Zhang shook his head and rejected Tai Shici's proposal.
"Such remnants of the army will definitely drag down the morale of the army! Huangfu Song won't accept them at all. He has to find a way on his own."
"My lord, don't worry. If you encounter a yellow scarf, I will stand up against him personally."
Liu Zhang felt a little relieved when he looked at Dian Wei who was swearing.
"I know evil and am brave, but a person's power is ultimately limited."
Liu Zhang thought for a while, looked at the crowd and said:
"We don't have to rush to the main battlefield. First, our morale is low and our soldiers have no fighting spirit. Second, the time has not come yet."
Liu Zhang was familiar with history. The key to the Battle of Yingchuan was that Zhu Jun was defeated and Bocai besieged Changshe.
"Han Sheng, select fifty capable people from among the guards and distribute the horses. Fifteen of them will go to Nanyang to inquire, fifteen will go to Yingchuan to inquire, and the remaining twenty will inquire about the Yellow Turbans along our marching route."
"promise."
"Now that the Yellow Turban Army is everywhere, I plan to fight and train soldiers as we go."
"I'm afraid we will have fewer and fewer soldiers."
"Soldiers value elites rather than numbers. Although there are many Yellow Turbans, they are just a mob. If we get more than a thousand elite soldiers during this training, no one will dare to underestimate us."
"promise."
Seeing that Liu Zhang had made up his mind, everyone said no more and chose to carry out the order.
Liu Zhang had selfish motives. He had never been on the battlefield. In his two lifetimes, he had never killed anyone on his own initiative.
Although he killed a tiger in this life, it was still with the help of Taishi Ci.
Liu Zhang could no longer imagine the purgatory scene of mutilated limbs. Being in the military camp, the sense of oppression has already hit me.
The battlefield was definitely not what he imagined. It's a real fight to the death.
In this way, Liu Zhang and others marched slower and often turned elsewhere.
Liu Zhang started his battlefield career.
