Creating a Different World - Chapter 2136

[Chapter 2136 First Battle]

Yingchuan was the place where Bo Cai started his uprising. It was naturally very important to him, and was equivalent to a base.

The Eastern Han court sent General Huangfu Song of the Left and General Zhu Jun of the Right to lead 40,000 infantry and cavalry to Yingchuan. Neither Zhang Jue, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, nor Bo Cai, the controller of Yingchuan, would allow them to be suppressed.

The Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai quickly returned to Yingchuan County and stationed at the most important transportation route before the Eastern Han court army arrived.

“Jiang Qi!” After setting up camp, Bo Cai immediately went up to the tent to summon his generals. After everyone arrived, he looked around and looked at Jia Zhengjin.

“I am here!” Jia Zhengjin stood up with his fists.

“You are the vanguard, lead 3,000 troops to find out the strength of the Han army!” Bo Cai ordered.

“Yes, sir!” Jia Zhengjin actually didn’t like this kind of troublesome thing, but he had to act like what role he played. He took the order and went to the military camp immediately.

When he saw the 3,000 Yellow Turban soldiers handed to him, he was speechless.

The 3,000 men were full, with yellow scarves tied on their heads, and high morale. However, there were not many young and strong men, mostly little boys aged 14 or 15, as thin as monkeys, and some gray-haired old men who were shaking with their weapons.

However, they were all fanatical believers of the Yellow Scarf, at least they were very brave in battle.

The stronger Yellow Scarf soldiers were all in the main account, and they were considered Bo Cai’s personal soldiers, so of course they could not be lent to him.

These 3,000 people were all infantry, and about 1,000 of them could barely be called spearmen, at least they had simple weapons such as spears. The rest were hoes and farm tools, and some directly used sharpened sticks or bamboo instead.

Shouldn’t the vanguard officer lead the cavalry to the expedition? Such a team is not mobile enough, right?

No matter!

With 3,000 Yellow Scarves, Jia Zhengjin marched in the direction of the Eastern Han army.

He walked and stopped along the way, and suddenly found smoke and dust in front of him near Yangguan, and immediately ordered the whole army to line up.

The Yellow Scarf soldiers didn’t know how to line up, they just raised their weapons in a mess to prepare for battle.

A cavalry of about 500 people appeared in front, wearing the standard uniform of Han Dynasty soldiers.

Jia Zhengjin was envious, this is the standard of the vanguard army!

When the two armies met, a general rushed out of the Han army, riding a red horse under his crotch, holding a steel spear in his hand, and walked forward alone: “Yangcheng Zhu Ting is here! Yellow Turban thief general, dare to fight?”

What the hell? You want to fight me one-on-one when you meet? Jia Zhengjin was a little speechless, but he still rode forward and raised his spear in his hand: “The vanguard officer Jiang Qi is here, accept your death!”

“Go!” Zhu Ting squeezed his legs against the horse’s belly, raised his steel spear and ran towards him.

Jia Zhengjin also rushed out of the army and quickly fought.

The two horses staggered, Zhu Ting shouted loudly, and stabbed with the steel spear in his hand.

Jia Zhengjin dodged sideways and staggered with him.

The two sides ran for a while, each pulled the reins and turned the horse’s head, and rushed towards each other again.

This time Jia Zhengjin did not hesitate to use continuous stabbing, attacking continuously before Zhu Ting raised his spear.

“Puff, puff, puff!” The spear tip accurately pierced Zhu Ting’s three vital points, and the opponent fell off his horse and died directly.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!” The morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly boosted, and they shouted in unison.

The 500 Han cavalrymen saw that their commander was killed and panicked.

Jia Zhengjin stepped forward and picked up Zhu Ting’s body, jumped onto his red horse, snatched his steel spear, pointed the gun at the Han cavalry and ordered loudly: “Kill!!”

“Kill–!” The Yellow Turban soldiers rushed over like crazy.

The opponent had no leader, and they could not resist for a while, so they turned around and fled.

Jia Zhengjin led his army to kill, killed more than a hundred cavalrymen, and robbed their horses. The rest ran too fast, and the Yellow Turban Army ran after all, and there was nothing they could do but watch them leave.

This encounter was a great victory, and the opponent had almost no resistance. The Yellow Turban Army had only more than 20 casualties.

After robbing the warhorse, Jia Zhengjin had hundreds of cavalrymen under his command. Although they were not trained, they at least looked much more powerful than before.

I found a skill book [Rapid Shooting] and a [Broad Sword Token] from Zhu Ting.

Of the more than 100 cavalrymen, only one [Cavalry Token] was dropped.

After learning [Rapid Shooting], the archery speed will be faster.

This is a skill of the archery department.

[Broad Sword Token] can transfer soldiers to Broad Sword Guards, giving them the guard skill [Crescent Slash].

The rest are all garbage spoils, mostly low-level materials.

After the first victory, Jia Zhengjin decided to pursue the victory and lead the Yellow Turban Army to chase along the way.

When they arrived at the border of Yangguan, they looked at the surrounding terrain and found a hillside suitable for reconnaissance. They immediately led the Yellow Turban Army to the top of the hill.

As expected, from the top of the hill, they could see clearly in the distance that the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Eastern Han Dynasty were connected into one camp, and there were Sheng flags everywhere.

The defeated cavalry returned to the camp, obviously to report to the Han army generals.

Jia Zhengjin remembered the Han army’s military formation arrangement firmly and immediately led the Yellow Turban Army to reverse on the spot.

He returned to the Yellow Turban camp, holding Zhu Ting’s head, and strode to Dabo Cai, kneeling on one knee: “General Qu, I have already found out the Han army’s camp formation. I met the Han general Zhu Ting on the way, and killed him! And killed more than a hundred Han cavalrymen!”

The soldier took the head and presented it to Bo. Bo Cai opened it and took a look, his face showing joy: “Jiang Xianfeng is really brave! Quickly draw the layout of the Han army camp for me!”

“Yes!” Jia Zhengjin took the brush and drew the shape of the Han army’s formation on the kraft paper by memory, and marked the Sheng flag he saw, “General Qu, the army is divided into two places.”

When Jia Zhengjin drew the complete army formation he saw, Bo Cai closed his eyes and thought, then nodded: “The Han army is divided into two groups, and they are in a state of mutual support. The Han general who was killed this time should be Zhu Jun’s subordinates. Jiang Xianfeng, you have made an indelible contribution! A reward of one thousand and a hundred pieces of silk!”

“Thank you, General Qu!”

“Jiang Xianfeng is tired from the journey, you can go back to the tent to rest. The rest of the generals, discuss with me the strategy of defeating the enemy!”

“Yes!”

When Bo Cai and other Yellow Turban generals were discussing the strategy of surprise attack on the Han army, Jia Zhengjin returned to the camp.

As a result, after the reward was delivered, he felt very disappointed.

The one thousand golds that Bo Cai mentioned were not one thousand kilograms of gold, or one thousand gold pieces, but only one thousand copper coins.

He was not particularly interested in gold or anything, but simply felt a little disappointed because the value of gold and copper was so different.

The silk was very real, a pile of cloth with nice patterns.

“Come here!” After counting, he shouted directly to the outside.

“What do you want, General?” A Yellow Turban soldier entered the tent and saluted respectfully.

“Distribute all of these to the soldiers!”

“Yes!”

There were only more than two thousand nine hundred and seventy of the three thousand Yellow Turbans under his command. They were very happy to hear that the vanguard officer did not ask for any money for the reward and gave it all to them.

The reason why they followed the Yellow Turban uprising was because the court was corrupt and they could not make ends meet.

Although there was not much left after the reward was divided equally among each soldier, it was given for free, and each of them was grateful to the vanguard officer “Jiang Qi”.
