The World of Yellow Sky

The momentum of Taipingdao's development in the mountains is very rapid. Not counting the residents in the mountains and the families of sergeants, nearly half of the people in the army have passed the assessment and joined Taipingdao.

Xu An put away the bamboo slips on the case file. Although there are 6 sergeants under his command, their equipment is messy. Not even full officers.

Now that the problem of money and food in the mountains has been temporarily resolved, and a large amount of military equipment has been harvested, Xu An also believes that it is time to integrate the troops under his command.

The successive battles also made Xu An better understand the wars of this era, and also made Xu An more aware of the Yellow Turban Army under his command.

Unlike other armies, many members of the Yellow Turban Army are followers of Taiping Dao.

The Battle of Jinyang made Xu An see the terrifying power of faith.

Morale is an extremely important part of war, and faith can strengthen people's will and improve the morale of the army.

The battle of Shijianshan was a coincidence and a god-given opportunity, so Xu An decided to fight. When the Han army scouts were unable to leave the camp due to the heavy rain, he made a surprise attack on the Han army camp, which made the Han army finally give up their plan to attack Jingxing.

Because during the Battle of Shijianshan, Xu An followed the weather forecast in the "Taiping Jing" and used Tianwei's power. Everyone believed that he had the ability to call wind and rain. His prestige has almost reached its peak.

So during the Battle of Jinyang, when Xu An went to the battle in person, the entire Yellow Turban Army outside Jinyang City boiled up, and then defeated the Han army defending stubbornly on the city wall.

And the Yellow Angels, which are composed of fanatics of the Taiping Dao, wear solid armor and hold sharp weapons. They are invincible in battle, and more importantly, they are not afraid of death!

Each of them is the most devout believer in Taiping Dao, he firmly believes that they are fighting for Huang Tian, ​​even if they die in battle, their souls will return to Huang Tian.

When Xu An saw the Yellow Angels for the first time, the first army similar to them that came to mind was the world-famous "trapped camp".

The momentum of charging, there is advance but not retreat, the ambition to fall into the battle, there is death but not life.

If the tens of thousands of people under his command had such fanatical beliefs as the yellow angels, what a terrifying army it would be, fearless of death, and would never flee.

But Xu An also knew that this was impossible.

Zhang Jiao has been deployed for more than ten years, and has millions of believers, but the number of yellow angels under his command was only a few thousand at the time.

There are more than 6 sergeants under Xu An's command in the Taihang Mountains, and the number of yellow angels is just over [-].

During the Battle of Jinyang, Xu An also noticed that the charge led by the warlocks of the Yellow Turban Army was much more effective in boosting morale than the charge led by ordinary officers of the Yellow Turban Army.

The most special thing about the Yellow Turban Army is different from other armies. With the blessing of religious belief, their morale and combat power can be significantly improved, and sometimes they can even reach the level of fearlessness.

During the battle of Guangzong, Zhang Liang used the yellow scarf alchemist to practice on the oar to boost the morale of the people.

When breaking through the encirclement, Zhang Liang threw talisman papers in front of the formation, and the talisman papers all over the sky spontaneously ignited in the wind, and the Yellow Turban Army, whose morale had fallen to the bottom, was agitated again. Quyang.

Xu An took out the "Taiping Jing" in his arms, stroked the cover of "Taiping Jing", feeling the touch in his hand.

In a trance, it seemed that he was back outside the city of Xiaquyang, and heard Zhang Liang's inquiry in the tent.

"A few days ago, you had a rough understanding of the scriptures of the Taiping Dao. I have three chapters of the Taiping Dao, Heaven, Earth, and Man. They are all supreme and wonderful methods. Which one do you want to practice?"

"Tianpian, learned by my elder brother Zhang Jiao, responding to people in the sky, guiding people according to the situation, decisively winning thousands of miles, is the timing of the sky."

"The chapter on land is learned by my elder brother Zhang Bao. It adapts to local conditions, relies on the terrain, and strategizes for the benefit of the location."

"People, what I have learned, the people's aspirations, the unity of the upper and lower, and the unity of one heart, is for the harmony of the people."

Xu An settled down and opened the "Taiping Jing" on the copybook.

"The people's aspirations, the unity of the upper and lower, and the unity of one heart, is for the sake of people and..."

As the "Taiping Jing" was flipped, Xu An's eyes gradually became clearer.

After traveling for so long and traveling thousands of miles, he finally found a road suitable for the Yellow Turban Army.

……

Three days later, the news of the reorganization of the army spread from Xu An's residence, and then spread throughout the Taihang Mountains.

Following the transfer orders one by one, the sergeants of the Yellow Turban Army scattered all over the Taihang Mountains began to move closer to the direction of Banyun Mountain.

Until mid-November, in addition to the defenders staying at various passes, sergeants from all over the country came one after another, and more than 5 people were assembled in two gentle river valleys near Banyun Mountain.

Chapter 127 Training in the River Valley

This time, Xu An recruited a total of 52232 Yellow Turban soldiers. At this time, more than [-] Yellow Turban soldiers were stationed in Chiwei Valley and Linlu Valley outside the Banyun Mountain Valley.

According to Xu An's military order, 10 camps were built in the two river valleys to accommodate the training sergeants, and each camp could accommodate 2000 to 3000 people.

In a military camp in Chiwei Valley, the drums of the soldiers gathered sounded.

The originally quiet barracks became bustling with people in an instant. Countless sergeants walked out of the barracks, and streams of khaki rushed along the gaps in the barracks towards the barracks' school grounds.

The sound of the three-way drum stopped, and [-] Yellow Turban soldiers had already lined up on the school field.

Yang Mu was wearing heavy armor, holding a tower shield in his left hand and a halberd in his right hand, standing straight in the queue.

He stared straight ahead. After the next month's training in Chishi Ridge, he was completely used to that weird standing posture called military posture.

The Taihang Mountains in November was bitingly cold, but it didn't pierce his thick clothes.

Zhao Ji pressed his left hand on the ring-shoulders around his waist. He was also dressed in the same way. At this time, he was walking between the gaps in the queue with two personal guards.

Looking at the neat queue beside him, Zhao Ji couldn't help nodding his head slightly. He is indeed an elite selected from various armies. Not to mention the momentum and feeling, the queue alone is already better than the sergeants he led before. Neat and quick lot.

This barracks is very different from other barracks in the valley. The name of this barracks is - Military Camp

After the Battle of Jinyang, Xu An seized more than 4000 sets of iron armor from the arsenal of Jinyang City, plus Zhang Yan and Yu Du, and Shanzhong obtained more than 1000 sets of iron armor from the arsenal of Taihang Baxing. Set of iron armor.

There are more than 5000 sets of iron armor in total, Xu An did not distribute them to the army, and throwing 5000 sets of iron armor into more than 6 people can't even reach [-]% of the armor, so it is better to concentrate.

Therefore, Xu An selected 5 people from the 5200 people, distributed iron armor, tower shields, curved edge shields, and long halberds, and called them soldiers.

After the selection of military pawns, 5200 soldiers were selected from among them, and leather armor and long halberds were distributed, and they were called sharp warriors.

Yang Mu was selected from the original army to become a martial soldier. As for Zhao Ji, he has gone through several battles, and his martial arts skills are not bad. He was also selected into the army and served as the team leader of the newly formed military soldiers.

Archers and crossbowmen set up a team separately, with 2500 people as a team.

The remaining 36832 people were divided into 14 groups, about 2600 people were divided into one group, and only spears were issued.

Although there are many iron mines in the Taihang Mountains, there is a lack of mining personnel and craftsmen.

There are only a few hundred blacksmiths in the mountain. Yan Zhong said before that farm tools were scarce, but there was nothing he could do about it. Xu An gathered all the blacksmiths and craftsmen in the mountain to make spears.

It wasn't until the time of the reorganization of the army that the newly built spears and the original inventory were able to barely arm all the sergeants who came to the river valley for training.

The training of military soldiers is the hardest among the three armies. After training in the battle formation, they immediately marched with heavy loads. The five-mile back and forth march with heavy loads directly dragged down a lot of sergeants.

As the evening approached, the soldiers' training was finally over, and the meals in the camp had already been prepared. After Yang Mu took off his armor, he went straight to the camp where his team ate.

A bowl of corn porridge was poured into Yang Mu's intestines after just a few mouthfuls, and then he picked up a piece of dried meat and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

As if he hadn't eaten for a long time, he filled another bowl of corn porridge, stopped, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

This ferocious popularity stunned Chen Wu and Wang Qi.

Chen Wu asked dumbfoundedly: "Where did you come from, brother? Why do you act like you haven't eaten for a few days?"

Yang Mu swallowed all the jerky in his mouth, took another sip of corn porridge, and then he recovered, and he laughed first when he heard Chen Wu.

Yang Mu pointed behind Chen Wu, and said helplessly, "You have been with this guy for a long time, and you still eat like this."

Chen Wu and Wang Qi looked back, and saw a rather burly man with dark skin coming over.

I saw that the big man drank the corn porridge in the bowl in one gulp, and then drank three bowls of rice porridge in a row, waving his hands again and again in shock of the peasants who shared the food.

The big man was still full of thoughts, his eyes lit up, but he saw the jerky at the side, he grabbed a piece of jerky and chewed it, then swallowed it, and wanted to grab another piece.

"Each person only has one piece of jerky per day, but it's not too much."

The man who divided the meat quickly hugged the crock pot containing the meat, and shook his head again and again.

The big man didn't mess around when he saw this, he stepped back a few steps and looked around, as if he was looking for someone, his eyes quickly moved to Yang Mu who was sitting beside him.

"Brother Yang!" He shouted excitedly, and walked to Yang Mu's side in a few steps, "I said why I didn't see Brother Yang, so it turned out that Brother Yang had arrived earlier than me."

Yang Mu could only feel his face twitching uncontrollably, he held his forehead and didn't want to speak.

At this time, a man with a goatee got into Wang Qi's side, shook his head and said, "The three of us were all under Yang Feng's command before, isn't Chishiling a training camp, and the food in the training camp is not as good as soldiers. .”

"A team of more than 50 people eats together, and the meals are all robbed, and those who are slow to rob will starve."

The man with the goatee took a sip of the corn porridge in his left hand, and pointed to the big man next to Yang Mu with his right hand and said.

"His name is Queen Zhong. You have seen this appetite just now. The three of us were on the same team in the training camp. If we didn't eat like this, I'm afraid we would have starved to death in Chishiling."

The rice porridge in the bowl of the man with the goatee was almost full at this time, he raised his head and drank all the rice porridge in the bowl, and he licked up the remaining rice porridge, without any waste.

"The food in the military camp is better, and there are dried meat to eat."

No conversation was allowed during the training period. Although Chen Wu and Wang Qi had the same relationship with these three people, they hadn't really spoken a few words until now.

Chen Wu clasped his fists and bowed to several people and said solemnly: "I'm Chen Wu, I have met all of you."

Wang Qi cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said: "My lord, Wang Qi, I have met all my comrades. We are all together, so we can take care of you."

"Yang Mu, I have met all of you."

Yang Mu arched his hands and also reported his name.

"Tian Zhang, I have met all of you."

The man with the goatee wiped his hands, took out another piece of jerky from somewhere, and gave his name.

"After the bell, I have met all my comrades."

The big man smiled and clasped his fists to salute.

Chapter 128 All Victories! ! !

Autumn has passed from winter to winter, and it was still autumn when the transfer order was transmitted from the valley to the surrounding Taihang Mountains, but now it is already February in the third year of Zhongping (186), and spring has entered.

"Ugh——"

The melodious and deep sound of the horn echoed in the valley, awakening countless soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were still sleeping in their dreams.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The sound of thick drums sounded in the military camps in the valley one after another, and the originally silent valley became noisy in an instant.

When the trumpet sounded, Yang Mu had already opened his eyes. He got out of the warm bed, put on the winter clothes as quickly as possible, and then began to make the bed. The other soldiers in the tent also climbed up Get up without the slightest delay.

One of the military regulations set by Xu An is: call names should not be called, the time is not met, the deadline is not met, and the teacher's law is changed.

The three-way drum stopped, and if they didn't arrive at the school grounds, they just didn't arrive on time. However, during the training camp, the first time they were late, they were punished with whipping, the second time they were late, they were punished with sticks, and the third time they were late, they were beheaded.

Although Yang Mu's military battalion was all selected elites from various armies, several sergeants were whipped, but no one was punished with sticks.

It's just that Shangguan said that in the rest of the battalions, many soldiers were beheaded.

As soon as the first drum beat stopped, Zhao Ji's shouts came from outside the tent, and everyone in the poplar tent had finished dressing.

"Don't make the team wait for too long." Wang Qi stood outside the tent and shouted loudly towards the tent: "Today's martial arts performance, hurry up!"

From all the tents in the military camp, the roars of their respective team leaders and leaders could be heard.

Following the roars of the chief officers of each team, the second battle drum had already sounded, and the soldiers walked out of their respective tents following the captains with the flags on their backs, and then gathered under the army flags led by the khaki team.

A series of narrow streams are getting bigger and bigger, slowly converging towards the school ground of the martial arts camp.

With the sound of rumbling footsteps and the sound of armor colliding, accompanied by the sound of drums and whistles, teams of yellow scarf soldiers in heavy armor stood still on the school field.

Numerous banners fluttered in the wind on the school grounds, and the khaki flags protruded from the crowd like a dense forest, with spears and halberds everywhere, and cold clothes and iron armor.

The three-way drum stopped, and the [-] soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army stood still in line, but in the cold wind, the [-] soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army stood upright like javelins.

Xu Huang rode on a war horse, and led dozens of horsemen to come slowly.

Looking up at the school grounds, there are crowds of people, all wearing yellow headscarves, the flags fluttering in the cold wind, and a chilling air blows towards the face.

"Ugh——"

The horn sounded again, and Xu Huang raised his head to look in the direction from which the horn sounded.

"Out of camp!"

Xu Huang whipped his horse, kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and walked out of the camp gate first.

"Out of camp!"

The military orders were passed down level by level, the flags were waved, and the chief officers of each team repeated the military orders loudly.

"Out of camp!"

"Out of camp!"
