Chapter 126: Zhang Ning Arrives in Quyang

Quyang City has been surrounded by a large army of imperial officers and soldiers.

In order to completely kill Zhang Bao, there is no way to surround three and one. Instead, it directly trapped Quyang City completely, and I am afraid that even a fly will not be able to fly out.

Huangfu Song personally led a large army to attack the south gate of Quyang City, Guo Dian attacked the east gate, the west gate was attacked by another deputy general, and Zhu Jun was in charge of the north gate, beware of Zhang Bao in Quyang City will break through and flee from the north gate.

Zhang Ning set off from Liulin Village before dawn and came to Quyang City, a day passed, and it was already dark.

However, fires were lit both inside and outside Quyang City.

There are many torches and fires on the top of the city, and there are also fires lit by officers and soldiers under the city.

The firelight illuminated the entire Quyang City as if it were daylight, and the situation could be seen from afar.

At the same time, the shouts of killing have never stopped, and from time to time there are fierce battles up and down a certain city wall.

Around the city, there are military camps of Han officers and soldiers, and the military camps are one after another, endlessly.

There were officers and soldiers resting in the barracks, and those were all soldiers who had withdrawn to the barracks to rest and recuperate after the rotational attack.

Outside the city walls, there are officers and soldiers at the top of the four gates, and the officers and soldiers are lined up neatly and the battle flags are lined up.

These officers and soldiers may not be the real siege of the city, but they will beat the drum and shout, and put on a posture of attacking the city wall.

This made the Yellow Turban defenders on the city wall dare not take it lightly, and they must also send the defenders and horses to beware of the sudden attack of the officers and soldiers under the city.

In fact, these days, it has always been like this, officers and soldiers are under the city, ready ladders, building cars and other siege equipment. If you see that the Yellow Turban defenders at the head of the city are all relaxed, then they will immediately launch a siege battle. Moreover, this siege battle, one in the east and one in the west, made the Yellow Turban Army in the city exhausted, these days, their nerves have been tense, there is no good food and no good sleep, for fear that the officers and soldiers will suddenly kill into the city.

Such a tired tactic of constantly attacking the city has already achieved certain results at this time. If this continues, the Yellow Turban Army defending the city will indeed collapse soon. When the time comes, the officers and men will be able to go down in one go.

Zhang Ning saw from a distance that the city walls were mottled and tattered. There is a black piece here and a piece of it there has collapsed, and there are many sections of the city wall, and the battlements at the head of the city are gone. It can be seen from this that the battle of attack and defense of Quyang City is so fierce.

These days, it is estimated that many people have died, because from afar, the north wind blowing over has a strong smell of blood.

There were military camps on all sides, and the front of the city was also besieged by officers and soldiers. It is unlikely that Zhang Ning wants to go to the city now.

In fact, when they came to Quyang about ten miles around, there began to be open and secret sentries of officers and soldiers.

In order to ensure that this attack on Quyang would not be affected by anything else, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun kept a close eye on the surroundings, beware that there would be other remnants of the Yellow Turban troops that would raid behind the officers and soldiers and come to support Zhang Bao in Quyang City.

In this way, Zhang Ning didn't dare to sneak around Quyang City with the twenty former Yellow Turban thieves who had joined the secret camp of Liulin Village.

Now, she also sneaked in with the two most alert soldiers of the dark camp, and the rest of the soldiers let them hide in a distant wood.

At this place, which was still three or four miles from the city. There were more officers and soldiers patrolling. Zhang Ning is unlikely to dive closer. Because if you dive closer, you have to sneak into the barracks of officers and soldiers.

However, if you want to enter the city, you have to go through the barracks of officers and soldiers, but this is too difficult.

The soldiers of the two hidden camps who sneaked in with Zhang Ning were the chiefs of the twenty people brought by Zhang Ning.

They are all relatively shrewd and sophisticated Yellow Turban elites.

In fact, Zhang Ning is not an unprincipled person. In fact, not all of the Yellow Turban thieves she received were innocent people.

In fact, Zhang Jiao's headquarters, the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was controlled by the backbone of Taiping Dao, did not participate in the burning, killing and looting of ordinary people.

The main reason is that although Zhang Jiao's incident was rushed in advance, he also went through many years of preparation. In fact, he has always had a secret reserve of money and food, and it is impossible for his money and food to supply the entire Yellow Turban Army for food and drink, but there is no big problem in supplying his headquarters military horses. Therefore, in addition to the uprising at the beginning, it was true that many government officials were killed, many big families were killed, and those big landlords and tyrants were robbed of their money, money, and grain.

Most of the Yellow Turban thieves collected by Zhang Ning were actually Yellow Turban soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Jiao's headquarters.

These two people are the real Taiping Taoists.

One of them, named Fan Dun. Before he joined Taiping Dao, he was a plasterer.

The other is called Xu Er. Before joining Taiping Dao, he was an orphan, unemployed vagrant, and lived by making some dead people's money. Well, it's actually the coffin bearer. Usually he wanders around, and if there is a dead person in ten miles and eight towns, he will go to help, help the owner of the dead family carry the coffin, earn some hard-earned money, and mix a meal.

Zhang Ning deliberately took them to sneak in together, and it was not unintentional.

After observing the situation in Quyang City, the three of them hid in a leeward place.

"Fan Dun, Xu Er, have you all seen it clearly? Think of a way to get Ben Holy Maiden into the city. Now the officers and soldiers are attacking in a hurry, and it is impossible to say that the city will be breached. You have to hurry into the city to inform General Digong and let him break through the siege and escape from Quyang in time, otherwise, he will follow General Tiangong and General Rengong. Zhang Ning tried his best to calm down and asked the two of them for advice.

"Holy Maiden, according to the experience of her subordinates as plasterers in the past, whether it is an ordinary house or a city, there will be some drainage ditches. In particular, the gutters inside the city lead directly to the outside of the city. The topography of Quyang City is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. Therefore, the sewer ditch will definitely come out from the east or south. If we find a sewer, then we can go down the sewer into the city. Of course, I don't know whether the sewage ditch in Quyang City is a dark ditch or an open ditch. If it is Minggou, it is estimated that the officers and soldiers outside the city or the Yellow Turban Army in the city will be sealed. Can't get in or out. ”

Guo Dun first said according to his experience as a plasterer.

"Holy Maiden, seeing that this battle is fierce, there should be a lot of people dying every day, so many dead people, it must be dealt with. I could find where they disposed of the bodies. Perhaps, we can get a few sets of clothes and armor of dead officers and soldiers, and we will disguise ourselves as officers and soldiers, and blend into the barracks and their armies, and maybe we can get under the city walls. But...... No matter how to enter the city, the villain has no choice. Xu Er also said.

"Oh? That might be the way to go......"

Zhang Ning listened to what the two said, thoughtfully, and after a while, he had a plan in his heart.
