Chapter 383 Falcon
"Pass down the order, let Lu Kuang take 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet the enemy one hundred and twenty miles southwest. Be sure to fight quickly, and retreat immediately if an accident occurs!"
Disconnect from Shengying, Shang Ji ordered in a deep voice.
Since yesterday, the Yellow Turban Army has suddenly sent a large number of troops to block the reinforcements, and the coalition forces of Shang Ji and Lu Bu are the top priority!
Who will make the Shang Lu coalition army the most powerful among the support troops?
In addition, the last time in Wuji, Zhang Liang left without a fight, not to mention letting Shang Ji get a big deal, and he also gained a great reputation. Those who didn't know thought that the Yellow Turban Army was really afraid of Shang Ji.
Zhang Liang is not a good tempered person, now that he has the opportunity, he is naturally the first to attack Shang Ji.
With Zhang Jiao's permission, Zhang Liang immediately pulled out a million elite Yellow Turban Army and charged at Shang Ji aggressively.
This is Handan, the main battlefield of the Yellow Turbans. Naturally, the Yellow Turbans here are not comparable to the weak chickens of the past. Zhang Liang's million-dollar Yellow Turban army is basically above the fourth level of strength, among which the proportion of Yellow Turban Warriors is quite high, and there are even high-level special arms such as Yellow Turban Lingwu and Yellow Turban Immortal Wu. Cooperating with the current destiny and fanatical state of the Yellow Turban Army, even if the Shang-Lu coalition army can win head-on, it will be a miserable victory in the end.
However, Shang Ji has the advantages of mobility and intelligence, so it is naturally impossible to confront Zhang Liang head-on.
Not long after the war started, Zhang Liang first sent several vanguard troops to test out the details of Shang Ji's army. But Zhang Liang's every move was seen by Shang Ji.
Relying on the advantage of the Holy Eagle, Shang Ji made the deployment first, and has already suffered two consecutive waves of Zhang Liang's forwards, but his own losses are minimal. This is the third wave that Lu Kuang has dealt with!
"Report!"
"Reporting to General Ren, General Ye Sheng's troops have been ambushed by the enemy, and the entire army has been wiped out. General Ye Sheng has also sacrificed his life for Huang Tian's great cause!"
In Zhang Liang's camp, a messenger of the Yellow Turban Army flew to report!
"Boom!"
Zhang Liang was furious when he heard the words, and kicked over the low table in front of him.
"General, our army has been caught in the enemy's traps many times. Is there an enemy's secret work in the army?"
After a moment of hesitation, a general of the Yellow Turban Army whispered.
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense, if you dare to cholera, the army will kill you!"
Zhang Liang immediately turned around and yelled loudly, staring at the general who just spoke with murderous intent.
"The last general made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, general!"
The general who spoke immediately fell to his knees and begged loudly.
"My yellow turban warriors all aspire to Huang Tian's great cause, how can there be treachery in the future, whoever dares to speak evil words in the future will definitely be punished!"
Zhang Liang looked around at the generals, and then said loudly.
"The last general will remember the general's teaching!" All the generals said in unison.
"As for our army's repeated ambushes, it must be that the enemy army has some investigative method that we don't know about. It's nothing more than birds and beasts listening to the earth!"
Zhang Liang had already calmed down, sat back on his seat, and explained to the general under the account.
"Heaven's Listening to Enemy is a high-level Taoism. Even with the strength of a great virtuous teacher, it will take a lot of trouble. There is no such great talent in the Shangji army!"
One thing Zhang Liang didn't say was that Zhang Jiao did have the ability to observe the enemy's movements by using Heaven's Hearing and Earth Vision, but the consumption was too great. .
"Relying on birds and beasts to monitor the enemy's movements may sound unbelievable, but it has existed since ancient times. I have traveled all over the country with the great virtuous teacher, and I have seen many strange people with similar abilities!"
"Beast surveillance is better than stealth, but the efficiency is slightly lower. The Han army can predict our army's movements three times, and it must not rely on animal surveillance."
As he said that, Zhang Liang's heart suddenly moved. He remembered the flying eagle hovering over the battlefield when he fought against his fate. At that time, he only paid attention to Liu, Guan and Zhang. . Now that I think about it carefully, at least 80% can be sure that Shang Ji is relying on this method to complete the surveillance of the enemy.
Zhang Liang clapped his hands excitedly and said, "It's expected, they must rely on birds for investigation!"
The generals below looked at each other, feeling quite absurd, but seeing Zhang Liang's seriousness, they could only believe it tentatively.
"Pass down the order. From now on, anyone who sees a bird in the sky will be shot. Focus on monitoring a huge flying eagle. Once found, it will be killed immediately!"
The Yellow Turban Army is worthy of being the protagonist of the era. The real confrontation has just begun, and Zhang Liang noticed Shang Ji's big hole card.
"Follow the decree of General Rengong!"
Regardless of how unbelievable the generals felt, Zhang Liang had already spoken, and they could only obey.
"Send another team out and hide some sharpshooters in the army. Once you find a flying eagle with a striking physique and abnormal behavior, shoot it immediately!"
"General, the last general asks for his orders!" As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, there were generals calling for battle in the big tent.
Zhang Liang looked around normally, but saw that the challenger was the yellow turban general who had previously spoken of treachery. This person's name is Sun Zhong, who was originally a typical cannon fodder historical general, but now he has successfully advanced to the A-level historical general under the blessing of luck, and is a general with relatively strong shooting skills in the Yellow Turban Army.
However, this archery is relatively strong compared to the ordinary Yellow Turban Army, and it is still far behind Tai Shici, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others!
Ironically, this person was shot to death by Liu Bei in history.
"Okay, I'm ready! Remember that the purpose of this trip is to shoot and kill the scout eagles that may exist, and you don't need to fight the enemy!"
Zhang Liang thought about it for a while, then agreed to Sun Zhong's request, and finally confessed a word without reassurance.
"At the end of the day, remember the general's teachings!"
Sun Zhong was overjoyed and kowtowed to Zhang Liang.
"Go, proceed carefully, and authorize you to freely recruit good shooters from the army, and be sure to complete the mission!"
Sun Zhong hurriedly took the order, and took Zhang Liang's command arrow in high spirits and went down to pick people.
It didn't take long for a team of 10,000 people to take shape, of which 7,000 were normal Yellow Turbans, and the remaining 3,000 were sharpshooters recruited from various places.
The proportion of good shooters in the Yellow Turban Army is not high, but the Yellow Turban Army has a large base!
Although the incident happened in a hurry and the people selected did not represent the highest level of the Yellow Turban Army, there is no doubt about the strength of these three thousand sharpshooters!
Not to mention the 7,000 ordinary Yellow Turban warriors (here the Yellow Turban warriors have been reduced to ordinary levels), the weakest of the 3,000 Yellow Turban Army is also the seventh-rank soldiers, and a large part of them are third-rate or above generals, which can be called Yellow Turban Army archers Concentrated essence of troops.
It was also the first time for Sun Zhong to lead such a powerful army, and his nose turned to the sky for a while. At the same time, I also look forward to encountering what Zhang Liang called the scout flying eagle, so that I can see the momentum of this thousand arrows.
After a little rectification, he led the 10,000 troops and set off.
As for Shang Ji, Shang Ji was listening to Lu Kuang, who had returned from victory, report the results of the battle.
"My lord, in this battle, our army wiped out more than 10,000 enemy troops, beheaded the enemy's commander, confiscated about 8,000 sets of intact armor and weapons, and seized more than 60,000 gold! The casualties were less than 1,000!"
"Not bad, good job!"
Shang Ji nodded when he heard the words, and praised Lu Kuang: "Clean and quick, decisive and quick, I didn't expect that the commander of the cavalry in Yijie is also skilled!"
"My lord's reputation is too high, it's all thanks to my lord's willingness to teach me!" Lu Kuang replied respectfully.
"Hahaha, well, Yi Jie has worked hard, let's go down and rest first, I will look forward to Yi Jie's better performance!"
The happy Shang Ji didn't know that his big hole card had been exposed, and the Yellow Turban Army had prepared a perfect hunting plan.
