Han Zhan's heart was worried about the village that had been sacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and after arranging for someone to take Chu Ge and his subordinates to the military camp in the city, he instructed Rob to prepare horses for him, and at the same time said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, you take people to clean up the battlefield outside the city, and I will take Rob to the village in the north to have a look." ”

When Dian Wei heard Han Zhan say this, a worried look immediately appeared on his face: "Envoy, there may be yellow turban thieves in the village, why don't you take risks lightly, let your subordinates bring people over!" ”

Han Zhan had a gloomy face, took the reins from Luo Bu's hand, turned over on the horse, and said to Dian Wei: "The villagers who have been poisoned by the yellow turban are all people under the rule of the envoy, how can they fake others when they go to check on the matter." With that, he shook the reins and galloped out. Rob hurriedly chased after him with his cavalry.

In less than an hour, everyone arrived at their destination. Although everyone had been mentally prepared before entering the village, they were still stunned by the tragic scene after the robbery. In the smoking ruins, charred black corpses; On the bent branches of the roadside, strings of human heads swayed in the wind, and the lingering smell of blood filled the air.

Han Zhan was so excited by the scene in front of him that he was so angry that he only felt that the Venus in front of him was jumping wildly, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, if he didn't have Rob next to him to support him in time, he would have fallen off the horse.

Not only Han Zhan, but even these cavalrymen who came with him were stunned and chilled by the hellish scene in front of them. As far as the eye can see, the village has been destroyed, and everyone in the village has been killed, from the gray-haired old man to the infant baby, not a single mouth is left alive. Their minds went blank, and their eyes spewed out hatred and rage. If a Yellow Turban Army appeared at this moment, it would definitely be chopped into mash by everyone.

Han Zhan took the water bladder handed over by Rob, drank a few sips, and after his mood stabilized a little, he said to the cavalry: "Brothers, you must remember that blood debts must be paid with blood, and sooner or later, we will find the Yellow Turban Thief to repay this blood debt!" ”

"Blood debt and blood payment, swear to destroy the yellow turban!" As soon as Han Zhan's words were finished, Rob raised his arms and shouted.

"Blood debt and blood payment, swear to destroy the yellow turban!" The other cavalry also chanted in unison.

After everyone calmed down again, Han Zhan instructed Luo Bu and said, "Team Luo, tomorrow you will bring someone to collect the corpses of these villagers and bury them properly." After speaking, without waiting for Rob to answer, he turned his horse's head and returned to Sheguo County along the way he came.

……

Although the Yellow Turban Army was repulsed, because Han Zhan and Chu Ge's troops did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, they only suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and did not hurt any vitality. After a night's rest in a valley in the northwest, he returned early the next morning.

Han Zhan stood on the city wall and found that the Yellow Turban Army in the distance was different from yesterday, not only had prepared wooden ladders for siege, but even hundreds of archers. Seeing that there were actually archers in the Yellow Turban Army, Han Zhan's heart couldn't help but sink, knowing that today's battle would not be as easy as yesterday's, and these archers were enough to inflict a lot of casualties on the defenders on the city wall.

The three Yellow Turban soldiers on horseback came to a stone's throw away, and shouted in a loud voice: "Listen to the dog officer in the city, immediately open the door and surrender to spare your dog's life, otherwise when the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the city." ”

Hearing the Yellow Turban Army under the city shouting over and over again, the defenders on the city wall couldn't help but look at Han Zhan and look at him to see how he would react.

Han Zhan looked at the few Yellow Turban soldiers who were standing an arrow away, and said in his heart that if I could bring a Type 5 or 6 rifle over when I crossed, I would have knocked you down with one shot, and I would have allowed you to be so arrogant. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer.

The defenders standing around were originally nervous when they saw the enemies who were several times more than themselves, but when they heard Han Zhan's sneer at this moment, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, since the envoys all ignored these yellow turban thieves, what else did we have to fear?

The three Yellow Turban soldiers shouted for a long time, and when they saw that there was no movement in the city, they turned their horses and ran back to their ranks. At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army, which had long been lined up, began to move forward. At the forefront were the sword and shield soldiers, behind them were the archers, and then behind them were the ordinary soldiers carrying wooden ladders, and their task was to climb the ladder to climb the wall of Shiguo County under the cover of the archers.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army had entered the firing range, Han Zhan nodded at Chu Ge on the side, signaling that he could release the arrows. Chu Ge nodded, pulled out his sword, and raised it high above his head, and the strong crossbowmen on the city wall immediately raised their bows and crossbows, but when Chu Ge's sword swung down violently, he shot at the Yellow Turban Army.

With a slam of Chu Ge's sword downward, two hundred crossbow arrows shot angrily towards the Yellow Turban Army under the city. Although many arrows were blocked by the shields of the Yellow Turbans, a series of screams were still heard from the crowd, and the Yellow Turbans who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground one after another.

Dian Wei glanced at the Yellow Turban Army who were lying in a pool of blood, sighed softly, and said to Han Zhan: "Envoy, if we can put all the five hundred strong crossbowmen here, we only need a few salvos, and the Yellow Turban Thieves should collapse." ”

There were a total of 500 strong crossbowmen brought by Chu Ge, of which 300 were sent by Han Zhan to the other three city walls, and only 200 strong crossbowmen were left in the north of the city. Hearing Dian Wei say this at this moment, Han Zhan just smiled faintly: "Even if we only have two hundred strong crossbowmen, we can still leave an unforgettable impression on the Yellow Turban Thief." ”

After paying three or four hundred casualties, the Yellow Turbans finally rushed to the city, and the archers hid behind the sword and shield men and fired arrows at the city walls to cover the infantry siege. The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army howled and swarmed to the bottom of the city, and as soon as the wooden ladder reached the top of the city, one after another soldiers who were not afraid of death climbed up with their waist knives in their mouths. But before they could climb the city, the defenders overturned the ladder with poles, and in a terrible scream, they fell down with the ladder.

However, the archers of the Yellow Turban Army under the city were not vegetarians, and they did not shoot aimlessly, but specifically shot the defenders who emerged from the battlements to cover their own people's arrival in the city. Under their accurate fire, the casualties of the defenders began to appear one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dian Wei hurriedly rushed to the battlement, and a sharp arrow flew with an iron halberd, and another iron halberd swung down violently, smashing a Yellow Turban soldier who had just emerged to the point of bursting his brain, and the other party snorted without snorting, and fell straight down the city, smashing the bones and tendons of several soldiers standing below.

The fierce battle at the head of the city was in full swing, and the commander of the Yellow Turban Army came to a stone's throw away, and after careful observation, he found that there seemed to be not many troops to defend the gap where his vanguard had finally been deflated. After confirming that this was not a trap, he ordered one of his leaders to storm the breach with five hundred men and try to storm the city from there.

Dian Wei stood at the battlement, waved the iron halberd in his hand, and kept smashing down the Yellow Turban soldiers who were emerging one by one, and suddenly saw a pair of Yellow Turban soldiers moving in the direction of the gap, which made him shocked, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Han Zhan: "Envoy, look, there are thieves going towards the gap." ”

Just as he turned his head to shout, a sharp arrow hit his left shoulder socket, Dian Wei snorted, took a few steps back, and the iron halberd in his hand fell to the ground with a thud. Seeing that Dian Wei was wounded by an arrow, Han Zhan couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly rushed over to support Dian Wei, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

"Rest assured, I'm fine." After Dian Wei finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the sharp arrow inserted in the shoulder socket and threw it on the ground casually. After taking a few deep breaths, he bent down and picked up the iron halberd on the ground, ready to continue fighting, but was stopped by Han Zhan. Han Zhan shouted at Lang Zhong, who was treating the wounded next to him, "Lang Zhong, hurry up and come over to save people." ”

After Lang Zhong Han Zhan helped Dian Wei take off his armor and reveal the bleeding wound on his left shoulder, he picked up a red-hot soldering iron from the stove next to him, blew the charcoal ash on it, and walked over and burned the soldering iron on Dian Wei's wound without saying a word, and the air was immediately filled with a smell of burnt meat. Although Dian Wei was a tough guy, although he was sweating profusely in pain, he didn't snort, he raised his right hand to wipe the sweat, and said to Han Zhan: "Envoy, I will go to the gap, and I must not let the Yellow Turban Thief rush into the city from there." ”

There were only 100 shield soldiers and 100 pikemen in the gap, and if the Yellow Turbans concentrated their forces on storming there, it would be a question of whether they could hold it. Han Zhan immediately replied, "Let's go, let's go over together." With that, he lifted his leg and walked towards the gap. Rob, who was in charge of protecting his safety, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly quickened his pace to follow.

When Han Zhan and the three of them arrived at the gap, the Yellow Turban Army had already rushed up the slope, and after they used their shields to block the spears that pierced from behind the wooden fence, they also used their waist knives and spears to poke and chop with sharpened wooden sticks, and people kept falling inside and outside the wooden fence.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Dian Wei rushed forward with an arrow step, and the two halberds came out together, immediately piercing the bodies of the two Yellow Turban soldiers. He put the iron halberd back, and the two unsupported corpses rolled down the slope.

The battle lasted from midnight to noon, and although the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy casualties, the losses of the defenders in the city were not small, so that Han Zhan had to send someone to urgently transfer some of the defenders on the other three city walls to block the Yellow Turban Army's strong attack.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly withdrew his troops and prepared to give the soldiers a full meal before continuing to attack the county seat.

Although the Yellow Turban Army retreated, Han Zhan's mood was extremely heavy, don't look at the battle just now, the Yellow Turban Army lost nearly 2,000 people, but looking at the number of people under the city, there are at least nearly 3,000, and the defenders in the city also lost more than 500 people, most of whom are veterans with rich combat experience. Wait for the Yellow Turbans to attack in the afternoon, if they want to hold the city, unless a miracle happens.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the distant horizon, hoping that a miracle would happen, and from that direction there would be another reinforcement that could defeat the Yellow Turban Army. At this moment, he saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and at that moment, he thought that he had thought of the magic barrier, which is why he hallucinated.

Unexpectedly, Dian Wei next to him suddenly said in surprise: "Envoy, look, there is dust and smoke rising in the distance, there should be a cavalry infantry coming." ”

Han Zhan didn't expect Dian Wei to judge from the dust and smoke that it was a cavalry team, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know that it's cavalry?" ”

"If it's an infantry, the smoke and dust will be shorter and move slowly." Dian Wei, who had been in battle for a long time, said to Han Zhan Kepu: "And the smoke and dust formed by the cavalry are relatively high, and the movement speed is also very fast. Based on this, I judged that it was a cavalry unit. ”

"Could it be our reinforcements coming?" Han Zhan asked with a fluke mentality.

Regarding Han Zhan's question, Dian Wei thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Back to the envoy's words, the Yellow Turban Thieves did not have formed a cavalry, and I felt that it should be our reinforcements. ”

In less than a stick of incense, the person standing on the city wall could see the cavalry that appeared in the distance. Dian Wei's eyes were sharp, and he saw clearly at a glance that the cavalry that came was almost all white horses, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "My God, it's a white horse who is here!" ”

White Horse Righteous Servant?! The person who heard Dian Wei's shout suddenly beat faster, you must know that Baima Yicong is Gongsun Zhan's elite troops, how could they appear here? In the hearts of almost everyone, a thought came out at the same time: whether the Yellow Turban Thief can stop it if he attacks again, let alone the world-famous White Horse Righteous Servant. It's over, I'm going to lose my life here today.

But what happened next surprised everyone. The cavalry rushed straight into the ranks of the Yellow Turbans, and the huge inertia of the horse's impact knocked the Yellow Turban soldiers who were blocking the horses into the air. A young general dressed in silver helmet and silver armor, with a snow-white war horse in his crotch, rushed to the front of the entire cavalry, and the steel spear in his hand was like a dragon out of the water, up and down, left and right, forward and backward, killing the Yellow Turban soldiers' heads and flesh flying.

After Han Zhan saw clearly the invincible young general in the Yellow Turban Army, he couldn't help but have a relaxed smile on his face. After Dian Wei saw the superb martial arts of this young general, he couldn't help but applaud continuously. He walked to Han Zhan's side and asked in a low voice, "Envoy, it seems that this cavalry is here to help us, do you know the young general in the lead?" ”

Han Zhan looked at Dian Wei and said with a smile: "Dian Wei, you may not know him yet." Let me introduce it to you, that is the county lieutenant of this county, Changshan Zhao Zilong, who was sent by this envoy to Zhending to recruit troops! ”

"It turns out that it is County Lieutenant Zhao, and it is really a good martial art." After Dian Wei sighed, he asked Han Zhan for instructions: "Envoy, the Yellow Turban Thief has shown defeat, otherwise he will open the door and attack, and he will also help County Lieutenant Zhao." ”

When Han Zhan saw clearly that the person who came to help was Zhao Yun, his hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach. Regarding Dian Wei's situation, he immediately expressed his permission without thinking: "Quick, immediately gather all the people and horses, and go out of the city with this envoy to meet the enemy!" ”
