The World of Yellow Sky

The darkness engulfed the mountains, disappearing the traces of the mountains, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the official road outside Jingxing Pass, and the wide river beach was crowded with restless people, like the tide, they merged into the narrow pass.

Countless sergeants outside the pass were holding torches and working hard to maintain the order of the pass. The voices and horses were hoarse, and they looked out from the wall, like a sea of ​​fire.

The gate tower of Jingxing Pass is brightly lit, and the scouts' reports are copied one by one by Zhao Le. As the head of the Zhao family in Lutaishan, Zhao Le, although he lacks courage and is rather timid, can be regarded as having attended school for a period of time. , The work of the military and Chinese documents is a good job.

Xu An frowned and flipped through the documents. He had studied hard for a period of time in the past few months. He no longer needed Liu Pi's explanation, and could already understand most of the documents. He looked at the information reported by the scouts, while From time to time, he looked up at the sand table in front of him, pulling and plugging the small flag on the sand table.

At this time, Liu Pi had also rushed from the river valley to Jingxing Pass. He was looking at this strange object called a sand table with great interest.

The sand table is made of white rice, and it is made according to the topographic map of mountains and rivers in their hands. Compared with the map of Yuping, the sand table made by Xu An is indeed a lot more intuitive.

Inside and outside Jingxing Pass, a group of small khaki flags were planted to represent the Yellow Turbans, and not far from the pass, a large number of red flags were planted to represent the Han army.

According to Xu An, the sand table has been around for a long time, and it was invented by a famous general named Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan was once sent by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty to scout Longxi, and when he came back, he piled white rice into mountains and rivers. Topography, road distribution, tell Liu Xiu the situation in Longxi.

But Liu Pi is still a little strange, but it is clearly made of white rice, but it is not a sand table, but this does not affect Liu Pi's liking of this novelty.

It may not be very useful on the plain, but the sand table in the Taihang Mountains is not very useful. When he went to attack several small cottages of small bandit forces, the topographical pictures of mountains and rivers were vague. Although he could understand it, he could not walk. It's a waste of time and energy.

"The Han army chasing after is a part of Zhang He and Gao Lan, with more than [-] armored cavalry and more than [-] infantry troops."

Every time he read a document, Xu An's face became darker. When he saw that the Zhending Han Army had joined up with two reinforcements, Xu An almost couldn't hold back his curses.

When Xu An saw the last document, he almost fell down on the copy. The commanders of the vanguard cavalry of the Han army turned out to be his mother Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

The four court pillars in Hebei are complete, Xu An just feels like crying but has no tears. He thought Zhang Yan's surrender was a great thing, but it turned out to be hell.

Now Xu An's first thought is to let Gong Du withdraw to the pass. If the Han army launches a night attack now, Gong Du will probably be folded outside the pass.

Although Gong Du is well known for his bravery in the Yellow Turban Army, he is actually just a third-rate general. , I am afraid that he is also invincible.

Not to mention the other three, when they were under Yuan Shao's tent, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were known as the brave champions of the three armies, and Zhang He later became the five best generals.

Taking a peek at Zhang Yan who was on the side, Xu An was a little bit sour, and his evaluation of Zhang Yan couldn't help but be a little higher. In history, he actually escaped into Taihang Mountain from the hands of these four fierce men, and finally reunited. The power of the entire Taihang Mountains.

But Xu An didn't know that he had changed history unconsciously.

Zhang Liang did not die in Guangzong, but was captured by Zhang He, and history began to deviate.

Zhang He was dispatched by Huangfu Song as the main general, and even Huangfu Song dispatched elite troops to this general who made military exploits in the uprising against the Yellow Turbans, so this Han army supporting Yingtao City was not like the historical They were defeated the same way, but instead they followed the trail of Zhang Yan's troops on their backs.

In real history, after Zhang Yan withdrew from Yingtao City, due to the inability of the Han army to encircle and suppress, he wandered in Zhending for a while, and then swaggered into Taihang Mountain, starting the road to unify Taihang Mountain.

Now inside and outside Jingxing Pass, Xu An's army only has more than 300 war horses, while the Han army has thousands of armored cavalry, so basically, Xu An has lost the opportunity to fight against the Han army.

The armored cavalry of the Han army could easily divide Xu An's army on the fertile fields, but the Yellow Turbans had no effective means to punish this group of arrogant Han army knights.

The archers under Xu An's command are full of fights and calculations, and there are only more than 1000 people including soft bows, which is pitiful.

Not to mention the armored cavalry of the Han army, even Xu An, an infantryman of the Han army, did not have the confidence to face it. Although everyone in the Yellow Turban army under Xu An had trained for two or three months, Xu An would not be arrogant. To think that by virtue of this, he can defeat the monthly training, Jia Jian sharp blade and the Han army led by famous generals.

This is undoubtedly a fool's dream. In the era of cold weapons, equipment has a huge impact on the combat effectiveness of the army.

An army in the cold weapon era has a lot to go through from forming an army to becoming an elite army. It is definitely not just a few months of training to become a strong army.

"Send the order to Gong Du, be careful, and return to the customs immediately at dawn."

Xu An was still worried about Gong Du's safety and ordered the guard beside him.

"promise."

The guard sang a promise and quietly exited the tower.

Xu An stared at the sea of ​​fire under the wall, the mountain wind became more and more violent, blowing the sea of ​​fire under the gate, feeling the howling mountain wind, Xu An seemed to remember something, and took out the "Tai Ping Jing" in his arms. Book.

His eyes gradually brightened.

……

Thirty miles away from Jingxing Pass, the Han army's main camp is located here.

At this time, the Han army's tent was also brightly lit. Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were surrounded by a topographic map of mountains and rivers, and they were discussing battle plans.

Although Zhang He was named the main general, he had to listen to the opinions of the other three. After all, they were actually at the same level.

Because Huangfu Song had to deal with the government affairs piled up in Jizhou, he did not lead the troops to fight in person, and more importantly, Huangfu Song knew that his military exploits had already attracted the suspicion of the emperor, so he did not plan to fight in person.

As a result, this embarrassing situation has been created, but fortunately, the other three have not raised any objections to most of Zhang He's decisions, and only have a slight dispute with Zhang He on the details.

For example, for Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the task Zhang He gave them was originally to detect whether there were ambushes, but Yan Liang chose to advance lightly and fight against Zhang Yan's rear troops.

Chapter 75 Calling the Wind and the Rain?

Little by little, the bright moon in the night sky shifted to the west, and time was passing little by little.

Nearly [-] sergeants and family members outside the customs all entered the Taihang Mountains from Jingxing.

Zhang Yan's family members were the first to enter the pass, and they were escorted into the river valley by the sergeants brought by Liu Pi.

There are more than 2 sergeants of Zhang Yan's army, and more than [-] people were left in Jingxing Pass to assist in the defense and formed a team under Zhang Yan's command. However, the actual control of the army is still in the hands of Xu An. No chance to contact his generals.

In fact, Zhang Yan was under house arrest, but Zhang Yan also expected this situation, so he did not resist it much. After all, his troops were almost twice that of Xu An, which was a very unstable factor.

Another nearly 2 people were disarmed and placed in the camp set up by Xu An and others when they attacked Jingxing, and Huang Long led two sergeants.

Although Zhang Yan has already surrendered, Xu An still dare not fully trust Zhang Yan. An knows whether this historically unified Taihang hero will tear his face and swallow his power after entering the customs. After all, no matter how Zhang Yan's subordinates It is said that there are also more than 2 sergeants.

Head-to-head Xu An does have the advantage, but there are more than 6000 Han troops outside the pass. If there is civil strife inside the pass, the Han army will never let go of such a good opportunity.

When the sky turned white again, the light was driving away the darkness among the mountains little by little. Gong Du returned to Jingxing Pass with the troops at the back of the palace. When the last sergeant stepped into the pass, the heavy door closed with the whining of the winch. It was closed with a bang, completely isolating the connection between the Yellow Turban Army in Guan and the Han Army outside Guan.

The clouds and mists between the mountains are entwined around the mountainside, like a fairy's feather belt, fluttering like a fairy palace in the mountain.

After two hours, the sun was not as dazzling as it used to be, but the sky was a little darker, and the wind gradually stopped.

Almost all the generals and colonels of the Yellow Turban Army in the gate were gathered on the gate tower, and Xu An had been standing by the railing of the gate tower for half an hour. No one asked a question. They all stood quietly on the gate tower and waited. Following Xu An's order.

Zhang Yan was a little surprised by Xu An's actions, but she didn't have any extra words. She just glanced at Xu An again. The generals in Xu An's army waited for so long, but there was no trace of impatience. Instead, they all stood upright like javelins. .

From them, Zhang Yan could see the spirit of the lieutenant general that was different from his own.

Xu An felt the moist air and the faint breeze, and looked at the mountains outside the pass from a distance.

"Ta Tata..."

The sound of hurried footsteps came from below the gate tower, and after a while, a scout walked into the gate tower quickly, holding the command flag in both hands, and reported loudly: "The Han army camp is moved forward, and it is located at Shi Cui, fifteen miles away from the pass. near the mountains."

Xu An turned around, walked quickly to the sand table, and planted the red flag representing the Han army camp beside a low hill.

Xu An raised his head and looked around at everyone, and the eyes of all the generals who were waiting in the tower were also focused on him.

One last glance at the rolling Mishan, Xu An smashed the sand table on top of the Mishan, smashing the low mountain with the red flag.

"Get out!"

Xu An almost roared out.

"promise!"

All the generals and generals in the towers complied with their promises.

"squeak--"

A sour sound came, and the heavy door that had been closed was slowly pushed open.

A khaki flag came out first, with a big "Xu" embroidered on black silk thread. More than [-] knights surrounded Xu An and stepped out of the gate.

The neat and orderly Yellow Turban infantry followed closely behind, and almost all the Yellow Turban sergeants who came out were elites in heavy armor.

Countless khaki flags were erected in the queue, and together with the yellow scarf belts swarming in the queue, they merged into a khaki ocean.

The people's titles, the horses' mouths, and even the horses' hooves were tied with cloth, which to a certain extent concealed the movement of their march.

At three o'clock, the sky became darker and darker.

There were [-] cavalrymen who followed Xu An, and [-] elites of the Yellow Turbans who were carefully selected. Among them, there were more than [-] soldiers in heavy armor, almost all of them came out.

Zhao Ji was walking in the queue, and he was a little uneasy. In this battle, his Shangguan did not tell them what they were doing.

But he saw those yellow turbans outside the pass desperately trying to squeeze into the pass. He was not stupid, and he also guessed that there must be Han troops chasing them behind.

He touched the amulet on his chest. It was the talisman that his wife obtained for him in the hands of the Taiping Taoist warlock. This talisman seemed to have some magical power. As long as his hand touched it, there would always be an inexplicable peace of mind. .

Looking at the moving heads around him and feeling the touch of the amulet, Zhao Ji's heart slowly calmed down.

After walking a few more steps, Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, but the queue suddenly stopped. Zhao Ji didn't react, and suddenly bumped into the sergeant in front and almost fell to the ground.

"what happened?"

Zhao Ji rubbed his nose and asked in a low voice, the bridge of his nose hit the man's black iron armor and was almost broken.

"quiet!"

The military stick suddenly fell on Zhao Ji's shoulder, and the team standing at the side of the queue shouted viciously against Zhao Ji.

Under the pain, Zhao Ji straightened up like a conditioned reflex and stopped talking.

……

Xu An restrained the war horse, raised his head to look at the sky, and drove the horse onto a slightly higher mound in front of the queue. The attention of the sergeants in the front was attracted by Xu An.

Xu An felt a little nervous in his heart when he touched the "Tai Ping Jing" on his chest.

Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the chapters in the Taiping Jing that predict the weather.

Xu An could feel that the wind was slowly getting bigger, and it should be even bigger.

Countless talisman papers were scattered from Xu An's hands, and all the talisman papers were burned up in the air with a bang.

"The wind is coming!"

A roar sounded like thunder, and it was clearly heard by the soldiers in front, and the cool breeze that was originally slightly became urgent.

Zhao Ji rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe what had happened. He saw the yellow talisman paper flying all over the sky and burning up in an instant.

He heard Xu An's roar, and he also felt the stronger and stronger wind.

Just like outside Guangzong City, thousands of talisman papers thrown by Zhang Liang spontaneously ignited in the wind, and Xu An's actions also aroused the emotions of the Yellow Turbans.

If it wasn't for the third order not to make too much noise, I'm afraid the cheers are as loud as thunder at this time.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

"The Classic of Peace" does not deceive me!

The sky became darker and darker, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the dim ground, and then it returned to darkness again, and a huge thunder sounded suddenly in the sky.

"Rain is coming!!!"

Xu An raised his halberd and shouted loudly.

"Boom--"

The gust of wind was blowing, whistling past everyone, and the sound of thunder in the sky overwhelmed, and the dim sky became more and more dark.

Chapter 76 "Taiping Jing"

A drop of raindrops fell on Zhao Ji's helmet and shattered into several petals. The color of the sky and the earth changed in a matter of seconds, and a drizzle of rain had already floated in front of Zhao Ji's eyes.

"It's rain!!"

Zhao Ji exclaimed happily.

"Call the wind and call the rain!!!"

Feeling the gust of wind and raindrops, the sergeants in the queue were all agitated.

"Xianjia magic, fairy magic, it is really fairy magic!"

A yellow angel looked crazy, he raised the halberd in his hand high, shouted loudly, and almost burst into tears.

The sky was getting darker and darker, almost like night. The entire sky was completely covered by large clouds, and even the sun's rays were blocked.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the big ones are like the Milky Way in the sky overflowing, pouring down from the sky above the sky.

The rain pillars danced all over the sky, like thousands of sharp arrows falling from the sky, dripping on the armor of the Yellow Turban sergeants, and then shattering into countless small petals, slowly sliding down from the sergeants' armor and armor. land,

The insects and beasts in the mountains were flying in the rain, trying to avoid the heavy rain. Lightning and thunder made the insects and beasts in the Taihang Mountains become manic.

The howling mountain wind blew through the mountains, and the trees swayed in the wind, desperately grabbing the ground and wailing under the rainstorm.

The rain seemed to be endless, pouring down from the sky, pooling into stagnant water on the flat ground, quickly eroding every inch of the land, the rain wet the land, and the land became muddy.

The eyes of all the Yellow Turban soldiers were focused on the mound.
