The news of the resurgence of the White Bo Army immediately made the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party in various places begin to be active.

Except for Zhang Yan, who nominally submitted to the imperial court, thieves everywhere began to take action.

Zuo Xiaoxiao, the leader of the Yellow Turbans who was active in Zhongshan Country and Changshan County all the year round, soon mobilized soldiers and horses to go down the mountain and plunder everywhere.

Naturally, what they want is not to follow in Zhang Jiao's footsteps, but simply for money and food.

With so many people hiding in cottages, daily consumption is a huge expense. Taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the imperial court is now attracted by the Bai Bo Army, it is a serious matter to loot in all directions.

There are only seven or eight thousand people in the left school department, and less than half of them are young and strong.

They didn't dare to fight Changshan County, so they put their ideas on the county seat below.

The garrison of Zhending County had been transferred to the foot of Taihang Mountain before, beware of Zhang Yan going down the mountain. Now the city is defended only by the newly recruited rebels and the domestic slaves of the powerful people.

The root cause of the collapse of the Han rule lies in the powerful people who officially appeared on the stage in the era of Emperor Guangwu.

These powerful people are big landlords one by one, keeping countless domestic slaves in captivity, and occupying a large amount of land through various means. They even formed caravans and started doing business, thus earning a lot of money.

Why Yuan Shao, the so-called fourth and third dukes, was able to unify the north of the Yellow River, it was because the powerful people in the north supported him.

When Cao Cao started, the Cao family and the Xiahou family he relied on were also the top local heroes.

Funded Liu Bei all the way, and Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Lu Zhu, Mi Fang and others who helped him rise several times were also from strong backgrounds.

Even, the root cause of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was that there were too many powerful people in various places, annexing land and arresting people as serfs. forced the people to not survive.

Since Liu Xiu ascended to the throne with the help of Haoqiang's power, Haoqiang's power has become bigger and bigger until it is uncontrollable.

Zhending County is not big, and only a few Haoqiang have built dock forts. And most of them are connected to the bandits, and the Yellow Turban Thieves basically don't go to them.

The other little heroes all hid in the county seat.

"Lord County Lieutenant." Wang Xiao on the city wall bowed his hand and saluted, "The thieves outside the city have just arrived, the camp is not repaired, and the defense is lax. If you take the opportunity to go out of the city to cover up and kill, you will be able to break the enemy. ”

The Yellow Turban Thieves, who were once known as millions, were extinguished by the Han army in a few months. The root cause of this is that they are just a rabble, and they are completely inferior to the elite Han army.

The Yellow Turban Department of the Left School Army outside the city, in Wang Xiao's opinion, is almost the same as the army of displaced people at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The outside barracks were not even fully fenced, and there were no trenches to keep horses out of the way. The tents were even more disorganized, and there was actually a fire on the side.

The people in the barracks were also extremely scattered, and tattered weapons and armor were thrown everywhere.

With such a so-called barracks, Wang Xiao can defeat them with a single charge with a few hundred people.

"Don't be underestimated."

The county lieutenant with a serious look waved his hand again and again, "The enemy is outnumbered, and at this moment, we should focus on holding the city." ”

Wang Xiao pursed his lips secretly, but he bowed in his hand, "What the county lieutenant said is very reckless." ”

The county lieutenant with a beautiful long beard was satisfied with his beard, "This county has a thin manpower, how can it be easy to abandon the city and fight." At this time, it is important to hold on to the city. ”

The county lieutenant said that there were few soldiers, but in fact, it was not a few.

There are more than 1,000 newly recruited rebels, and there are hundreds of Ding Zhuang's sons-in-law in the city. In addition, the house slaves brought by many powerful people who poured into the city were not much worse than the young and strong yellow turban thieves outside the city.

At the end of the day, it's just a reluctance to take responsibility.

As a county lieutenant, it is the responsibility to defend the land. But this soil only refers to this county seat.

As long as you can defend the county seat, it is meritorious. If the county seat is lost, then you have to lose your head.

In this case, there is obviously a wall several meters high that can be garrisoned, and the county lieutenant is of course reluctant to go out of the city.

"I've been taught." Wang Xiao nodded seriously. After a moment, he asked softly, "What if the thieves outside the city plundered the four wildernesses?" ”

The county lieutenant didn't speak, but he could tell from his look that he didn't care about the villages outside.

His responsibility is only in the county seat.

Wang Xiao looked at the rebels around him, and could clearly feel that an anxious atmosphere was condensing.

These rebels are all from the countryside of Siye, and it is inevitable that their homes will be plundered and their morale will be low.

In a few days, it is estimated that even the mutiny will come out.

Glancing at the county lieutenant, Wang Xiao shook his head slightly.

"Your talent is not qualified to be a county lieutenant."

Just as Wang Xiao thought, a few days later, the conscripts in the county town began to make noise.

After all, their homes may be being looted, and it is unbearable for anyone else.

These people brought by Wang Xiao are also in danger when their homes are only half a day away from the county seat. It took a lot of energy for him to calm down for a while.

It's just that it can't go on like this, Wang Xiao is going to persuade the county lieutenant tomorrow. If you still can't say that you can't move, then you can only go to find the magistrate who has been hiding in the yamen and has not shown up.

Zhixian is timid and afraid of death, this is the weakness. Since there is a weakness, it is easy to break.

The difference is only in what kind of method is used.

But the next day, those yellow turban thieves outside the city helped Wang Xiao.

These yellow turban thieves actually came to attack the county seat.

Maybe they felt that there was a lot of baggage in the county, maybe they felt that the more soldiers stationed in the previous were not there, or maybe they felt that taking the county seat could enhance their prestige and attract more people to join the gang. Maybe they feel that they are too numerous to fill in this county.

In short, these people actually came to fight the county seat.

The morale of the defenders was immediately raised. They know what will happen if the city is breached.

There are more than 10,000 people and horses, boundless and boundless.

Although there are only seven or eight thousand people in the left school's headquarters, they can be arranged outside the city and look like a large area of black pressure, which is enough to bring deep pressure to people.

Wang Xiao stood calmly on the tower of the city gate, silently watching the defenders around him shoot arrows, throw stones and rolling wood, and pour hot gold juice under the city.

He stood indifferently on the city gate tower, casually turned his head sideways to avoid the sharp arrows shot at him, and coldly watched the cannon fodder carrying simple wooden ladders under the city rush to the city.

He has seen too much of the cruelty of war. No matter how many lives are lost in front of him, it will be difficult to shake his mind.

He didn't take action personally, because he knew that although the city wall of Zhending County was not high, it was not something that those Yellow Turban thieves carrying simple wooden ladders could easily break through.

Wang Xiao is waiting, waiting for a moment that can be fatal with one blow.

The battlefield seems to be a little cruel, but in fact, from Wang Xiao's point of view, it is actually a little chaotic.

The defenders were chaotic and only knew how to throw things down desperately.

The cannon fodder for the siege was chaotic, and they only knew how to rush to the city with shouts.

The so-called siege warfare is actually nothing more than two sides competing against each other.

The intermingling of light and shadow, the intermingling of blood and fire.

All of this did not affect Wang Xiao, and his gaze fell far away on the Yellow Turban Thief Formation in the distance.

There, there were a dozen on horseback. Only the first member of the group was a strong man with a yellow scarf on his head and iron armor on his head.

Colonel Zuo, the leader of the Yellow Turban Bandits.

The Yellow Turban Thief's siege routine is very simple and very practical. It is to use a large amount of cannon fodder to rush the city, consuming arrows and other defense equipment.

Wait until the defense equipment is exhausted, and then invest in the elite to storm the city.

As long as you can kill in the city, even if the cannon fodder is lost, it will be nothing.

With money and food, how many people can't be recruited?

If the situation in the county town is really determined, he has already sent someone to secretly go in to investigate.

The county soldiers who were originally stationed were transferred to guard against Zhang Yan, and now there are only some newly recruited rebels and powerful domestic slaves in the city, all of whom are vulnerable.

As long as they can take the city, they will collapse immediately.

After taking the county seat, it will be easy to sweep the four fields when the time comes.

This trip is really certain, and it is definitely a bumper harvest.

The equipment defending the city at the head of the city was finally exhausted, the cannon fodder with heavy casualties retreated, and the real yellow turban youth began to appear.

Of course, due to their lack of technology, the siege equipment they used was no different from before. It's still ladders and stuff.

For example, there are siege towers, rushing cars, skin shield cars, flying bridges, cloud ladders and anything, and they are still carrying wooden ladders to rush to the city.

However, although the city wall of Zhending County is not high, it is generally enough.

Because they are only facing a rabble, not a real elite.

Zhao Kuangyin's royal front class is straight, but he has done the brave thing of inserting weapons between the cracks of the city wall and attacking the city with ants.

Wang Xiao finally got off the field, holding a spear to stab the left and the right barrel to defend a large part of the city wall.

But if there is a brave man who climbs the city wall, no matter which one of them is, he will be killed by Wang Xiao.

He even used his spear to overturn a wooden ladder.

The brave resistance of the defenders brought great damage to the Yellow Turbans, after all, it was the defenders who had a greater advantage in the siege.

Although the city wall of Zhending County is only a few meters high, it is also a city wall.

Wang Xiao relied on four times the strength of ordinary people and five times the physical fitness of ordinary people. A spear danced and splashed into the water, covering a large area.

If you can't attack for a long time, it will naturally lead to low morale.

The left colonel saw that the offensive was gradually collapsing. Immediately stepped forward, beheaded the fleeing people, and shouted and urged the siege.

Wang Xiao was waiting for this opportunity.

He had fought bloody battles in the city before, but his eyes had never taken off the left colonel.

Seeing that he had entered the range of the bow and arrow, even if it was far away, he still immediately took out the bow and arrow.

'Whoosh~~~'. The sharp arrow shot out and flew straight to the left colonel.

Wang Xiao is very confident in his archery skills. It's just that the bows and arrows he used this time are not very powerful, and the distance is still too far.

Colonel Left swung his knife sideways, trying to dodge. But he was still hit in the shoulder by an arrow and fell off his horse.

Wang Xiao frowned, he hadn't missed a move for a long time. The arrow was meant to go down the throat.

Seeing Colonel Zuo struggling to get up and get on the horse, Wang Xiao, who didn't want to see more blood, shot an arrow again without hesitation.

Colonel Left was shrewd and hid behind his horse. Wang Xiao's arrow killed the warhorse, but there were already guards around him who began to run over.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Xiao put the bow and arrow on his back with his backhand, picked up the spear, and jumped directly down the city wall.

There was a sudden exclamation all around.
