The Three Kingdoms: If you don't have money to buy an official position, you can only be the em

Chapter 22 Heading west to Taihang Mountains!
"This..." Jiang Cheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

how to spell?
After the Yellow Turbans' great victory, they also suffered losses. Even with the surrendered soldiers, there were only 100,000 soldiers. They were not elite soldiers. If they really selected elite soldiers, according to the standards of Bingzhou Cavalry, they could only gather 20,000 to 30,000 people.

It can be said that he is quite bloated.

That is to say, the army led by Lu Zhi was not elite, and they could only fight for so long because they were weak against each other.

But the Bingzhou cavalry was different. They were the elite among the elite, and were among the best in the entire Three Kingdoms era.

The Xiliang Army was also known for its bravery and fighting skills.

On the surface, there are 100,000 against 300,000, but in reality, it is 30,000 elite troops against the other side's 300,000 elite troops. The difference in troop strength is ten times. What should Jiang Cheng say?
Even if Wolf Warrior comes, he doesn't know how to fight this kind of battle!
The opponents on the other side are not mediocre. They can give you the opportunity to defeat the strong with the weak. They are all boss-level characters!

Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo.

A divine lineup!

"A frontal battle will absolutely not work. Our Yellow Turban Army only has this little wealth. If it's all gone, we'll be gone!" Jiang Cheng shook his head, setting the tone of definitely not fighting head-on.

This is the premise of everything.

Maybe one day in the future, he will be able to lead the Shennong Army to challenge the whole world, but it is impossible now.

No one can challenge almost all the heroes of the Three Kingdoms alone.

“In this battle, let’s not talk about defeating the enemy, we don’t even need to draw. As long as we don’t get defeated, it will be our victory. If we can drag the army until the imperial court is unable to continue the expedition and retreats, it will be a great victory!” After thinking for a while, Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and wrote the word “drag” in front of him.

The Yellow Turbans rose from the masses and were local tyrants, so they were more capable of consuming more resources than the enemy.

As long as they can hold out and avoid being defeated, the imperial court will have to withdraw its troops.

"But can we hold it off?" Chen Gong frowned.

Even he felt his scalp tingling when he thought about the intensity of the imperial court's expedition.

Almost all the elite troops have been sent out.

"Definitely!" Jiang Cheng smiled, thought for a while, and began to speak: "Let's not talk about the specific deployment today. Let me talk to you first about the strategy of 'protracted war'."

"protracted war?"

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "The Yellow Turbans arose from the oppression of the powerful and were an uprising of the common people. They will not be destroyed by a temporary victory or defeat. Just as a fire cannot illuminate the entire Han Dynasty overnight..."

Recalling the strategy of his great grandfather in his previous life and combining it with the current situation, he talked about a "protracted warfare" strategy.

Based on this, the idea of ​​moving westward to Taihang Mountains and forming a "guerrilla force" was proposed.

"The Taihang Mountains are a hundred miles wide and a thousand miles long, and are a natural base. Most of us Yellow Turbans are poor people. We can endure hardships that others cannot endure and adapt to environments that others cannot adapt to. We will definitely be able to open up a foundation in the Taihang Mountains!" Jiang Cheng said: "Of course, this does not mean that we have to give up Julu City. On the contrary, we have to move south to deploy defenses and block the enemy's attack here!"

As he spoke, he inserted a mini military flag on the "Handan City".

Then he connected the three cities of Xingtai, Julu and Handan into a curved line, and drew a dotted line between the three cities and the Taihang Mountains, and wrote the four big words "Guerrilla Battlefield".

Then, he picked up his pen and wrote down the "Sixteen-Character Mantra".

"When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy stays, I harass; when the enemy tires, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue!" Jiang Cheng said, "I will lay off 90% of the Yellow Turban army, disperse all the old and wounded soldiers among the people, and develop them in secret. Then I will gather the best troops, equip them with the best equipment, and fight guerrilla warfare against the court!"

This plan is quite risky.

If 100,000 people are reduced to 10,000, that means 10,000 against 300,000.

There is absolutely no chance of fighting.

But Jiang Ben had never thought of a direct battle, because it was impossible. Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Ce, Huang Zhong, were all in the opposing army, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Ding Yuan, and Dong Zhuo were all there. There was no shortage of military generals, no shortage of heroes, and no shortage of counselors.

Li Ru, Jia Xu and others are now in the imperial army. How to fight?
One Chen Gong and one Dian Wei, fighting head-on is just suicide!

But the Yellow Turbans were not without advantages. At this time, the "Tianshi Going to the Countryside" campaign had already begun to show results. I couldn't say about far places, but in Henan and Hebei, which is now Jizhou, the intelligence network had already been laid out.

Can accurately detect the enemy's movements.

In this way, as long as we build a highly mobile guerrilla force, we can play hide-and-seek with the enemy.

If you gather your troops, I will be behind you to provide logistics.

If your battle line is stretched out, I will attack your weak points, and then leave without stopping.

You want a decisive battle?

Then I will go into the mountains. It is easier to run on mountain roads where there are fewer people, and harder to catch up with when there are more people.

Do you dare to come in?

Then I will set fire to the mountain. Anyway, there is no such thing as life imprisonment in this era.

"Of course, this is just a general guideline. The specific details of the battle must be arranged in a targeted manner according to the enemy's movements." Jiang Cheng added: "In addition, everyone should step up their practice of the 'magic power' I taught them. It will directly affect our combat capability!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jue gritted his teeth and said, "I will select those with talent in magic and absorb them into the Taiping Dao!"

After saying that, he immediately began to teach everyone in the entire Yellow Turban territory a method of "visualization" - it sounds very advanced, but in fact, it is just "watching" and "meditation".

Focus on one object and think that it will move.

It is the best way to screen for "magic" talents.

There is nothing profound about it, but if you change the object being "viewed" to "the portrait of Jiang Cheng" and the thing being thought about to "the portrait moving without wind", it instantly becomes grand and elegant.

It is called "Shennong Visualization Diagram".

Adjust the printing plate, distribute it to the entire army, and screen the "refining chemicals".

It was really effective. In just a few days, nearly a hundred people were selected. They were taught the refining method and practiced according to the drawings, which shortened the production cycle of the pistol to seven days.

"It's good to use it on the blade. First, make magic weapons for the generals accompanying the army!"

"For disposable instruments, just create a few, and try to create instruments that can be used repeatedly."

"Use local materials instead of magic. Make gunpowder yourself. You need to refine sugar first. If you don't add sugar to gunpowder, is it still gunpowder?"

"Craftsmen, assemble! Do your best to hammer out anything you can hammer out!"

……

In ancient times, time was really a big problem: when Huangfu Song's army arrived nearby, it was already the spring of the second year, the time Zhang Jue had originally planned to start the uprising.

Because it takes time to assemble the army, and the march can only be twenty miles a day.

You also have to guard against enemy sneak attacks, deploy defense lines, and eliminate rebels along the way.

Going back and forth naturally wastes time.

"Twenty miles ahead is Handan City, which is occupied by the bandits. It will take two days for our army to arrive. Ding Yuan, I order you to lead 20,000 vanguards and lead the charge!" Huangfu Song stood on a high place, looking at the city ahead and said, "If you can take it, you will be credited with the first merit in this battle!"
