The World of Yellow Sky

Gong Du had already rushed into the cottage with more than ten armored cavalry, and all the bandit leaders who tried to gather the bandits together to resist, all fell under the iron hooves of the Yellow Turbans.

……

The sun has fallen into the embrace of the mountains again, and the night has cast Luohu Mountain into the shadows.

Xu An was standing in the courtyard on the top of the mountain, looking down at the cottage with countless torches lit down the mountain, the beating flames flickering in his eyes.

After the heads of Yu Digen and Wu Liang were planted on the flag, all the bandits put down their weapons after seeing the sergeants of the Yellow Turban Army and the soldiers in heavy armor who came in line.

Luohu Mountain was already prostrate at Xu An's feet.

Chapter 48 Those who kneel and surrender shall not die!

The mountain wind wanders among the mountains of Luohu Mountain, and the torches around the cottage are beating gently in the wind.

Xu An used to be an atheist, until suddenly he came to this troubled world.

Everything is like a fantasy, but it is real and terrifying. Sometimes Xu An wonders if he will wake up suddenly on the train when he falls under the enemy's sword.

It's just that the memory of the past has become more and more blurred, so blurred that even his parents' faces seem to be covered with a haze.

From the battle for thousands of miles in Jizhou to the fierce battle against Guangzong, hundreds of thousands of troops fought against Quyang.

Surprisingly attacked Jingxing Pass, entered Lutai Mountain, and now captures Luohu Mountain.

Is there really a god in the sky?

But if there really is a god on that high tower, why did he close his eyes when his followers died and his people were suffering.

The precarious days caused Xu An to wake up from the nightmare countless times.

It was not until he entered the Taihang Mountains that he finally had an army that was completely loyal to him, and this situation was far from him under the embrace of the mountains.

He finally had a place to stand in the troubled world.

It's just that it's just too tiring, and it's really breathless to fight almost without interruption for several months.

Looking at the calluses rubbing against the blade in his hand, Xu An again appeared in front of the feasting steel forest.

The mountain wind blew again, and the cold wind penetrated into Xu An's robe.

It also made Xu An's thoughts gradually clear.

There were a few light footsteps behind him, and a figure appeared beside Xu An.

Liu Pi glanced at Xu An who was leaning against the railing and said, "The same is true of the great virtuous teacher before each war, standing alone on a high place."

"We handsome Qu always stand in the shadows and look at the great teacher."

Liu Pi paused for a while and sighed.

"But we can't do anything, we can only watch the great teacher lose weight day by day, and finally collapse on the collapse."

"You once said that you would also avenge the 16 robes of Guangzong's death, the [-] robes of Xia Quyang's death, and all the people who died in the famine."

"You haven't fulfilled your oath, so you absolutely can't just fall on Taihang Mountain like this. We have lost our great teacher."

The whistling mountain wind, the hunting sound of the flag on the top of the mountain, the flames swayed quickly in the wind, and was almost blown out by the strong wind.

Xu An turned to look at Liu Pi, who was beside him with a worried expression, and relieved his frown.

"I didn't hesitate, I was just thinking about how to deal with the more than 700 thieves in this mountain. Counting the children of the three families in Lutai Mountain, we only had 600 people, and the number of thieves captured was already more than 2000. "

"I'm afraid we can't suppress this group of thieves."

Liu Pi glanced at Xu An in surprise and said, "It's actually very simple, I'm afraid your thinking is too complicated."

"kindness?"

This time, it was Xu An's turn to wonder.

"Including this group of thieves couldn't be easier. Although their number is more than three times ours, their life and death are now only within our grasp."

Under the firelight, Liu Pi's face was slightly grim.

"As long as all the leaders of the bandits are killed, no one will be able to gather effective resistance. The bandits in this mountain are always listening to whoever has the biggest fist. They are just a group of bandits."

The wind in the mountains became more violent, the strong wind blew in, and the courtyard on the top of the mountain was lit with fire and finally dissipated in the darkness.

……

The sun rose again in the Taihang Mountains, dispelling the boundless darkness between the mountains.

More than [-] bandits were gathered in an inner village, and thousands of people were densely packed like ants.

On the wall of the inner village, hundreds of soldiers were standing on the low wall. Liu Pi and dozens of archers stood beside the low wall on the door of the village, scanning the crowd.

The strong bow in his hand and the quiver full of arrows on his waist all made the bandits in the inner village feel terrified.

Usually undisciplined, the noisy bandits now only dare to shrink in the crowd and whisper in a low voice.

Outside the only entrance to the village, more than 300 soldiers had already gathered at the gate, and the sharp halberds reflected a palpitating cold light under the sunlight.

They were wearing crimson Han army winter clothes and khaki yellow scarves, standing motionless like wooden stakes.

Taking a deep breath, Xu An put on the black iron helmet tied with the yellow turban, and walked up the wall with the hilt of the ring-head knife around his waist.

More than a dozen fully dressed armored soldiers stepped forward.

The yellow flag rattled in the mountain wind.

The noise slowly disappeared from the crowd, and the eyes of more than [-] thieves all focused on Xu An.

Xu An's eyes swept back and forth among the [-] bandits who were besieged in the village.

Numb faces appeared in front of his eyes, but there was no resentment or anger. The death of Luohushan's head didn't seem to have any effect on them.

The bandit who was truly loyal to Digen's lineage died long ago at dusk yesterday.

At the gate of the village, fifty or sixty sergeants entered. Gong Du was wearing heavy armor and walked at the front of the queue, and Huang San followed behind Gong Du.

Bandits after bandits were caught from the bandits' gathering place.

It's so ugly. These bandit leaders, who usually shouted and shouted, were dragged out of the crowd by the sergeants, or knelt on the ground and begged, or cursed loudly, or even wept bitterly.

There were a few people who were unwilling to be caught out of the crowd, loudly inciting the surrounding bandits to resist, but most of them were indifferent to his words.

The sergeants easily took all the bandits who were trying to resist out of the crowd.

The 73 big and small leaders of Luohushan were lined up in three rows, tied with ropes and knelt on the open space at the gate of the village.

The bandits in the village all watched them coldly.

In fact, it was normal. When Gong Du came in with heavily armed sergeants to arrest people, they discovered that they were all the leaders of the bandits.

What's more, they were completely unarmed, and the armored soldiers standing around made them absolutely rebellious, not to mention the dense forest of halberds at the gate of the village.

"kill!"

Xu An threw out the command flag in his hand, and the command flag fell from the gate of the village.

The ring head in Gong Du's hand waved down heavily.

The three children who were responsible for the execution behind them stabbed the halberd in their hands.

The sharp halberd blade easily pierced the throats of the 73 leaders of Luohu Mountain, and the blood dyed the entire Zhaimen land red.

Blood flowed from the gaps of the 73 leaders, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Xu An smelled the blood in the air and looked down at the still numb bandits in the village.

One footed on the wall of the fortress, the other held a halberd, the tip of the halberd pointed at the bandits under him, and shouted loudly, "Those who surrender on their knees, avoid death!"

The [-] bandits in the village, like wheat fields blown by a strong wind, bent their knees towards Xu An on the wall of the village.

Chapter 49 Expanding Military Forces

There should have been several walls in the cottage in Luohu Mountain to separate the cottage into several inner villages. At this time, they were all demolished, and the villages communicated with each other.

More than 70 leaders and the heads of hundreds of people who were killed in attacking the village were hung in various places in the village by the Yellow Turban Army.

At this time, there was a lot of people in the village, and the open space was densely packed, full of people's heads, and Yellow Turban officers with military sticks patrolled back and forth in the queue.

The sound of military sticks piercing into the flesh, as well as mourning sounds echoed throughout the village from time to time.

The courtyard where Yu Digen lived on the top of the mountain, the bloodstains left by the fight last night, have been washed by the Yellow Turban sergeants who have settled in.

Dozens of yellow turban soldiers wearing black iron armor are standing on the mountain road around the courtyard.

In the house in the courtyard, Gong Du leaned against the door and closed his eyes as if he was sleeping.

Liu Pi sat cross-legged at the right head of Xu An and was reporting the current situation in the army to Xu An.

"There are 650 bandits who surrendered in the village. Including the 540 bandits captured in Lutai Mountain, and the 310 children of the three families who survived, the total is 510."

"There are still 240 people from the Yellow Angels. They attacked the stronghold yesterday and killed eleven brothers."

When it comes to the number of Yellow Angels, Liu Pi paused. These are old brothers who entered Taihang Mountain together. Most of them are veterans from the beginning of the uprising. Now, if one is lost, one will be lost forever.

In the battle of Lutai Mountain, the Yellow Angels were not damaged at all. At that time, the bandits who entered the village were already in chaos. In addition, all the Yellow Angels were wearing heavy armor, and the swords of the bandits could not break the armor at all.

On the contrary, 11 people were lost during the attack on Luohu Mountain. Although the armor was hidden in the car, the yellow angels led by Xu An to attack the mountain road had no time to put on the armor.

Although protected by the tower shield, eleven yellow angels were damaged in the fight against the Luohu Mountain thief on the narrow mountain road.

The mountain road is really narrow, and the hunting bows of the bandits caused a lot of damage to the yellow angels who attacked the mountain.

"Among the bandits, there are hundreds of people who are good at archery. The bow team barely gathered 200 people, and they can all be equipped with the Han bows we brought from Jingxing."

"There are five military officers in the army, 25 garrison commanders, 50 team leaders, and 250 team leaders. Officers with a team rate and above can call yellow angels to fill the positions, but there are too many vacancies. Yes, and the general needs to confirm the candidates for the five military candidates."

Speaking of the candidates for military candidates, Liu Pi frowned slightly and looked at Xu An inquiringly.

Xu An was also a little big for a while, and the speed of the team's expansion was a bit beyond Xu An's expectations.

If the sergeants in Lutaishan are well trained, it would not be a problem to serve as the superintendent at all, but these sergeants have only been trained for more than a week, and they are only superficial. They are essentially the same group of farmers and hunters, and most of them are still unable to serve as the superintendent.

After pondering for a while, Xu An really didn't have any good way to get along.

"There are still 160 and seven yellow angels, and another 150 people will be drawn into the left, right and middle three songs. One hundred best-trained sergeants will be selected from the first and second songs to serve as the commanders, and I will hand it over to you."

"promise."

Liu Bi sang a promise, the selection of officers was indeed a big problem, in the final analysis, the original military strength was too weak.

In this way, Xu An's personal guards counted Xu Da and the flag officer Zhang Ji, and there were only 19 people.

"As for the candidates for the military candidates, you and Gong Du will be the left and right musicians. As for the training of the archery team, Wang Ren will be handed over to him. I saw that Wang Ren's archery skills are almost the same as yours on the wall of the village. I will be the military candidate for the time being. , the Houqu Junhou was handed over to Li Heng, as for the first song..."

Xu An looked at the courtyard outside the house as he spoke.

In the courtyard, Li Heng and Wang Ren were standing under a tree in the courtyard, talking from time to time, and their expressions were quite relaxed.

Xu An pondered for a while.

"Xu Da."

"exist."

Xu Da, who was standing outside the door, walked in.

Xu An pointed to the two people in the courtyard and said, "Let Li Heng, Wang Ren and Huang San come in."

"promise."

Xu Da took orders and exited the house.

Liu Pi looked at Xu Da, who was leading the order out, and said to Xu An, who was at the head of the case, with his brows furrowed: "Huang San was the third head of the village before. Let him be a military waiter, I'm afraid it's not too..."

"So I arranged for him to be the military waiter for the prelude." Xu An explained slightly, closing his eyes, "Remember when he attacked Lutai Mountain, he also reserved troops to stay at the foot of the mountain."

"Clearly, there are only hundreds of children from three families in Lutai Mountain. When he saw that the situation in the village was unknown, he immediately withdrew his troops and went down the mountain. He encountered the shield formation of the Yellow Angels blocking the way, and he dared to fight hard to find a way to survive."

Listening to Xu An's explanation, Liu Pi's frown slightly stretched.

After all, most of the Yellow Angels who followed them all the way to the Taihang Mountains were just ordinary soldiers. They were barely qualified to be the captain and the team leader, but they were somewhat inadequate as the colony, not to mention a military waiter.

The marching operation was not as simple as imagined. On the way to retreat from Guangzong to Xiaquyang, he was only responsible for the marching and camping of the two Yellow Turbans. At that time, Xu An was already in a hurry, thanks to the help of the rest of Qu Shuai and Zhang Liang. The instructions barely made any trouble.

Moreover, the prelude of a first song is often the first to encounter the enemy and fight, and most of them assume the responsibility of the forward. When fighting, he, Gong Du, and Xu An are behind him, so they are not afraid that Huang San will not cooperate.

Under the leadership of Xu Da in the courtyard, Huang San, Li Heng and Wang Ren were walking towards the house.

Xu An lowered his voice slightly, and continued to Liu Pi, who was beside him: "As you said, Huang San has no scruples in order to survive, so he will definitely understand that he can only survive if he follows us closely, even Live better."
