The World of Yellow Sky

"On the battlefield, no one will pity you, the Han army will not, neither will the bandits. No one will care about your suffering. If you want to survive in a troubled world, you must be more ruthless than those bandits!"

"On the battlefield and on the school ground, I only recognize military orders and military discipline. Any of you who violate the military orders and military disciplines for any reason will be punished. Whether you are recruits or yellow angels, anyone who shrinks on the battlefield and school grounds and violates military orders and military discipline will be severely punished. punishment."

"On the school grounds may be just military sticks, but after entering the battlefield, violating military discipline and military orders, you will be executed without mercy!"

"When the training is over, you can put on your swords and guns, put on your armor, and follow the robes around you to take back your former fields and even more food and property for you, your wife, children, and children."

"There is still an hour. After an hour, you can rest and enjoy your corn porridge and your dried meat at night. Hold on!"

Time passed slowly, and another person in the queue fell to the ground due to exhaustion, and seven or eight people who were secretly wiping sweat and being lazy were dragged out.

Without exception, they were all dragged out of the queue by the yellow turban soldiers, beat the ten army clubs in front of everyone, and then threw them to the yellow turban warlocks on the side of the school field.

But no matter how long it takes, there will be an end. When Xu An gave the order to disband, almost everyone sat on the ground, including the chief yellow angel.

Chapter 36 Yan Zhong

"Is it effective to train troops like this?" Gong Du was puzzled by Xu An's method of training troops. Taking advantage of the disbandment, he leaned forward and asked, "If you don't teach them martial arts, don't teach them battle formations, just stand there. Can we fight in the future?"

Xu An glanced at Gong Du and said, "Do you remember the next Quyang Han army sergeant?"

Gong Du was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed strong murderous intent, and he responded in a low voice: "Naturally remember."

"How many Yellow Turbans have been charging forward? They haven't broken through the ranks of the Han army warriors for several hours. Why?" Xu An asked back while touching the armor on his body.

"The sharp soldiers of the Han army, they have strong armor and sharp blades, and the army is well-organized. In their hands, they turned the tower shield into the Great Wall, just like the Great Wall that resisted the barbarians outside the Great Wall, blocking our hope of victory!"

His thoughts seemed to fly to Xia Quyang.

"Gong Du, you are a veteran of the battlefield. You should know what will happen if the military formation is washed away in the battle between the two armies?"

"You see, they can't even stand now. What kind of military formation are they talking about? Is it possible that in the future, like Xia Quyang, our military formation was rushed away by the Han army, but we could not break through the Han army's army formation? "

Xu An's words also reminded Gong Du of the battle between Xia Quyang and the Han army. Once the 16 yellow scarves were lost, his eyes turned red.

"More than [-] people in Quyang have been defeated..."

Xu An clapped his hand on Gong Du's shoulder heavily, and looked at Gong Du and said firmly, "We won't keep losing."

……

The banner of the Han army was re-erected on the city wall of Jingxing Pass.

Yan Zhong's face was gloomy and terrifying. He brought the army to the trick of being beaten by hanging sheep and the straw man on the city wall, which fooled him for a whole day, until the siege equipment was transported to Guanxia the next day.

The siege troops pushed the siege equipment to the bottom of the city wall, and there was not even a trace of resistance, only to find that the gate was empty.

And when the Han army entered Jingxing Pass, the "Jingguan" stacked inside the gate made these Han armies angry and made Yan Zhong's face even more gloomy.

Compared with "Jingguan", the arsenal of Jingxing Pass, which is almost half empty, is not worth mentioning.

The Han army's barracks was eerily quiet, save for the crackling sound of wood in the bonfire.

The roar of Yan Zhong suddenly came from the big tent of the Chinese army.

"go out!"

Yan Zhong angrily threw the bamboo slips in the middle and smashed them at a Han army officer in the tent. This was the third time that the generals under his command had asked for battle.

"I'll say it again for the last time, the military order just said 'Recover Jingxing Pass'!"

The Han army officer did not dodge and let the bamboo slips fall on his body, keeping his head down and maintaining his military salute.

"promise."

Yan Zhong was a Shangguan after all, and although the Han army commander was in a bad mood, he still complied with a promise and walked out of the tent.

Before Yan Zhong thought it was Jingxing Pass captured by bandits in the Taihang Mountains, but the trace evidence left in the pass showed that it was completely different.

There is no trace of blood or fighting inside and outside the gate on the west side. There are only a lot of footprints and ruts at the gate. On the contrary, there are many traces of fighting and blood on the gate and gate on the east side.

This proves that the bandits who captured Jingxing Pass were not from the Taihang Mountains, but from the east.

There are very few bloodstains on the wall, and it is obviously not the main battle site. The traces and blood of the struggle are concentrated in the Han army's garrison.

So the enemy should use some means to control the city gate first, and then attack the Han army's garrison.

Could it be the thief "Feiyan" near Zhending?

However, according to the local military information, the thief Chu Feiyan had gathered nearly [-] people, and the traces left by the thieves in Jingxing Pass seemed to be only a few hundred.

Yan Zhong shook his head and dispelled the messy thoughts in his mind. The sky outside the tent had already darkened, and his heart sank along with it.

Looking at the flickering candles in the tent, Yan Zhong spread out the letter on the desk.

The night slowly fell on the Taihang Mountains. It was pitch black outside Jingxing Pass. From time to time, there were a few strange roars of beasts and birds in the forest, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the dark background.

Dozens of black shadows rolled out of the brightly lit pass, and then drowned in the boundless darkness.

Inside the Jingxing Pass, there was no one in the tent of the Han army, except for a letter on the desk and an upright official seal.

Chapter 37 Mil-Spec

On Lutai Mountain, the open space behind the Zhaimen became the school ground for the Yellow Turbans.

The sergeants in the yellow turban were sitting on the ground and resting. Zhao Ji muttered and repeated something to himself. Sweat dripped from his face, and he had no idea of ​​wiping it.

"Third brother, what does the seventh military regulation say, I forgot again."

"Noisy talkers during the march will be tied up with military sticks for forty." Zhao Xu glanced at Zhao Ji helplessly and replied, "Brother, haven't you remembered? It's been a day since yesterday."

"It's coming soon."

Zhao Ji wiped the sweat from his face and continued to mutter about the military regulations.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the side: "Everyone stand at attention!"

The two people who were resting on the ground bounced off the ground like a group of frightened rabbits, and quickly stood in line.

Last time, the three people reacted a little slower, and they were beaten with ten military sticks by the surrounding military judges, so now everyone heard the password of standing at attention, and almost all formed a conditioned reflex.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Xu raised their heads and raised their chests, looking directly at the front of the queue. Liu Pi walked over with a ring-head knife and a few yellow turban sergeants who were also fully armed.

Liu Pi glanced at the neat queue that was immediately lined up, and couldn't help but nodded. Xu An's training method opened Liu Pi's eyes. Liu Pi also watched the training of the Yellow Angels, and it was only some generals in the army who taught and practiced battles. The method of fighting in the battle is to imitate the army formation of the Han Ruishi.

At first, Xu An only let these men practice standing, Liu Pi was still a little puzzled, but he didn't expect that only seven or eight days later, this group of rabble actually got up, but it was not enough.

As long as the Yellow Angels charge on the flat ground, all these decent-looking farmers can still be scattered.

Liu Pi glanced at the queue. Brother Zhao Ji and Zhao Xu were standing in the front row of the queue. He still had a little impression of these two people, so he stopped beside them.

Following the method taught by Xu An, Liu Pi turned to face Zhao Ji and called out, "Zhao Ji is out."

"To!"

Zhao Ji responded loudly, then took a step forward and walked out of the queue, staring straight ahead.

"Military law spot check."

Zhao Ji secretly complained in his heart that his younger brother Zhao Xu had already memorized everything, but he himself had memorized it for a day and still didn't remember much. Who knew that he would be picked up by the random inspection of the military law today.

If you don't memorize it, not only will you be punished on the school grounds, but you will be punished by Benshi's even after the training.

"Recite Rule [-] of the Military Regulations."

When Zhao Ji heard Liu Pi's words, he secretly cheered. Although the first military rule was the longest, Zhao Ji remembered it the longest. He also asked Zhao Xu when he was resting.

"When facing the enemy, the sergeant retreats and kills the sergeant. If all the sergeants retreat, only the sergeant will be killed. If the sergeant does not retreat and the sergeant retreats, the sergeant will be killed and the sergeant will be killed."

"If the entire team retreats, only one person will be killed. If the team will not retreat and the sergeants in the team will retreat first, the team will be killed and the entire team will be killed."

"Military Regulation No. 13."

"Anyone who confronts the enemy and falsely claims to be sick will be beheaded."

"Article [-] of the Military Regulations."

"When facing the enemy, if a sergeant is besieged, the team will not be able to save it, causing it to fall into the enemy's line, killing the team and all the leaders."

"I remember it well." Liu Pi grinned and patted Zhao Ji's shoulder.

Zhao Ji returned to the queue, and Liu Pi took a few more people out to recite the military rules, but unfortunately most of them were memorized, and some people didn't even remember them at all.

In front of the queue, there were dozens of people lying on their stomachs, and the crackling sound of military sticks and meat resounded in the school grounds, which also attracted the onlookers of women and children in the village.

"After three days, everyone has to memorize the military regulations. If one of them fails to memorize them, the entire team will be punished. If there is one part of the team that fails to memorize it, the whole team will be punished!"

Liu Pi stared at everyone on the school grounds with a gloomy face, and the sound of mourning for a practice film immediately sounded on the school grounds.

It's a torture to let these ignorant farmers and hunters recite such long rules, but in reality they can't help themselves, and their long eyes can almost kill people.

Obviously some people are as illiterate as they are, but they recite the military regulations unexpectedly fast. After all, they have recited more Taiping Dao Jingyi.

The previous military regulations of the Yellow Turbans were unclear, and there were many flaws in their implementation. There was no systematic military regulations at all.

Even each Yellow Turban army has its own regulations. The Yellow Angels have a lot of rules and regulations, but they are all the regulations of Taiping Road, which are far from the military regulations.

After the random inspection of military regulations, and after handing over the trained characters to the team leader, Liu Pi led the people into the simple camp built by the Yellow Turban Army in Zhaizhong.

Zhao Le, the head of the Zhao family, gave Xu An the house he lived in, so the Yellow Turbans built a simple camp around the original Zhao Le's house, and set up some tents to surround the house.

As for the young adults in Lutai Village, Xu An did not force them to live in the barracks. After daily training, they were allowed to go home to rest.

After crossing the courtyard to the door of the room, Jia Shitong in front of the door made a sound and then opened the wooden door.

Liu Pi took off his boots and walked into the room with the helmet in his arms.

Inside the room, Xu An was sitting on the desk and looking at the map in his hand. Zhao Le, who was beside him, was writing on the bamboo slip.

Xu An saw Liu Pi walk into the house, got up and asked, "How do they remember the military regulations?"

Liu Pi sat on the desk next to him, drank all the water in the bowl, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, I asked dozens of people, and only Zhao Ji could answer."

Xu An nodded and said, "It's okay, it couldn't be that fast."

Liu Pi poured another bowl of water and asked, "How long will these recruits be trained?"

"It will take about a month to train. By then, it will be more than enough to be equipped with weapons to deal with thieves in other places."

After Xu An finished speaking, he asked Liu Pi, "How is the training of the bow team?"

"The hunters in this mountain just don't have enough energy, but they are good at aiming. They only need a little training for salvos and the like before they can go into battle."

When it came to the training of archers in the mountains, Liu Pi was in a good mood. These hunters in the mountains far exceeded his expectations.

At this time, there was a report from the armored soldiers suddenly outside the door, and then the wooden door was opened by the yellow turban armored soldiers guarding, and a yellow turban scout with a negative feather was standing outside the door.

"General Qi, there is a group of thieves with about [-] people under the black flag of the wolf pattern coming to Lutai Mountain, which is less than five miles away from Lutai Mountain."

Chapter 38 The Thieves Attack

"Ugh——"

The desolate horn sounded in Lutai Mountain.

When Xu An put on his armor and walked out of the courtyard, more than [-] Yellow Turban soldiers were fully armed and lined up on both sides of the courtyard.

The dead child Zhang Ji held a yellow flag and Xu Da in heavy armor stood at the forefront of the queue. Wang Ren and Li Heng, the heads of the Wang and Li families, were also taken aside by the armored soldiers.

Xu An walked forward step by step along the reserved aisle, and the eyes of all the soldiers focused on him, from Guangzong to Jingjing, and now Lutai Mountain, which made them develop this habit.

Xu An patted Zhang Ji on the shoulder, Xu Da was still so taciturn, even if he was appointed by Xu An as the leader of the personal soldiers, he was still the same, just doing his best as much as possible.

At this time, the No. 2 scout reported by Shanxia had also arrived at the gate of the camp.

"Report to General, the number of thieves has increased to a thousand."

Hearing the news of thousands of thieves, the sweat on Zhao Le's head who was following Xu An couldn't stop flowing down. He hurriedly wiped the sweat on his face with a sackcloth and trembled slightly.

"Wolf pattern, black flag, I knew it would be a disaster, I already knew that, when I told you, you just didn't listen, wasn't it just a little food!"

Looking at Zhao Le, who had lost his temper, Wang Ren couldn't stop his anger rising, but Xu An and Liu Pi were standing aside, and he didn't dare to quarrel with Zhao Le in front of them.

This Zhao Le is timid and afraid of things and has no demeanor of a family head. Since Zhao Le's father died and Zhao Le became the head of the Zhao family, the Zhao family is not as good as the day. Sometimes Wang Ren thinks that Zhao Le is reading those sour and rotten things. The document made the whole person read stupidly.

If it weren't for the three families being family friends, when the old man of the Zhao family was alive, he took care of the Wang family and the Li family.

Wang Renqiang suppressed his anger and retorted in a low voice.

"A little grain, you said lightly. The grain in the village was bought by the children of my three families. Why should I give it to Luohu Mountain? I can't eat enough for myself."

Xu An frowned. Although the thief was still five miles away from Lutai Mountain, Xu An didn't want to pay attention to the grievances of the two now, so he interrupted the two of them and asked.
