Chapter 25: The Last Tragedy I
Outside the city of Ganling
Liu Bei and Sun Jian reluctantly reached an agreement under the persuasion of their superiors, and worked together to kill the enemy.
No matter who took the lead in breaking through the city and beheading Zhang Liang, in the end it was Liu Bei who broke the city and Sun Jian beheaded Zhang Liang, of course, this was the work after they succeeded, and Lin Xu only gave 10,000 soldiers and horses, although Ganling is not a big city, and the defense capability is not strong, but after all, there are 1,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers from Zhang Liang stationed in the city, and it is extremely difficult to rely on a single soldier and horse.
And according to the latest report, Zhang Liang has collected 70,000 yellow scarves of varying quality, although there are only more than 10,000 of them, they are still not to be underestimated.
"Brother Xuande, Ganling is about to begin, I don't know if there is a plan to attack the city?"
The old god Sun Jian was riding on a war horse, looking at Ganling City from afar, and asked lightly
The siege of the city is Liu Bei's business, he is only assisting from the side, if the Yellow Turban Lux appears, it will be handled by him, which is a good matter to discuss.
"Don't worry, it's getting late today, let's fix it for a day, and then make plans tomorrow, and then I hope that Brother Wentai will help you."
Liu Bei bowed his hand and said quite sincerely.
It's not that he hasn't heard of Sun Jian's bravery, just the past few days of getting along, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Cheng Pu, who came over soon, all made his eyes hot.
"That's nature, if you can't capture Ganling, how can a certain family cut Zhang Liang? Brother Xuande is instructed to do so. ”
Liu Bei gave face, but Sun Jian didn't want to put on a score, and if he didn't say anything else, he would close the two of them, and he didn't dare to win easily.
"So, Bei, thank you Brother Wentai first. Yes, I don't know if Brother Wentai has ever heard of a leader? ”
Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, he wanted to ask about the fact that the Yellow Turban Lux was the legendary man, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to take the initiative to mention it regardless of his previous suspicions.
"I'm ashamed, a certain family just heard General Lin occasionally mention it, I don't know it, and I hope that Brother Xuande will give me some advice."
Sun Jian, who had a rising favorability for Liu Bei, couldn't help but completely put down his body and saluted with a fist.

Outside the city of Guangzong - the tent of the Han military camp
Cao Cao looked at the design of the siege artifact in his hand, which is said to be able to step on the city wall-Mitsubishi assault vehicle, and looked confused. It's not too complicated to understand, but it's too simple, and it will be done at a glance.
In fact, it is a huge hollow right-angled Mitsubishi pillar that has been put down, with eight huge wooden wheels at the bottom, and three layers inside, the first layer is placed with soldiers to push the Mitsubishi pillar forward, and the second and third layers can be placed with archers to shoot through the window for cover.
Once the Mitsubishi pillar is leaning against the city wall, the cavalry can completely charge up the city wall by diagonal plane!
Simple and rude, this is how Cao Cao feels now, but after thinking about it carefully, he found the flaws: one is the terrain, the other is the moat, and the other is the destruction of the enemy army out of the city.
Guangzong City is just located in the plain, and in the past two months since Lu Zhi besieged the city, almost all the moats have been filled, and the feasibility is very high. As for the destruction of the yellow scarves out of the city, that's really hopeful!
Cao Cao, who figured it out, happily covered the design drawings and led people to run to cut down trees. After all, the big guy said that when the Mitsubishi assault car was built, he was the first to lead the charge.

Inside Gwangjong Castle
Zhang Jiao's face was lying on the soft floor like gold paper, and after the two white-haired doctors treated him with a serious face, they both shook their heads and retreated.
Looking at the beautiful girl who was crying with her head down, Zhang Jiao sighed and said slightly
"Si Niang, don't be sad, I am already terminally ill, and there is no cure"
After a pause, Zhang Jiao gasped twice
"My days are numbered, and there is a bag of gold and silver under the bed, which is enough for your life, take it with you and leave, and don't come back to see me again."
"The slave family~, the slave family is not leaving, and I am willing to accompany Engong to death"
Siniang hid her face and fell to the edge of the Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao heard this, panting
"Er~, if you are truly for me, then quickly ~ leave. I owe a lot of people, and I don't want to ~ owe it again~~"
"Don't say it again, don't say it again, the slave family ~ the slave family will leave"
Si Niang looked at Zhang Jiao reluctantly, turned around three times in one step, and finally staggered out with a crying voice.
Looking at the beautiful shadow, a trace of bitterness appeared on the side of Zhang Jiao's mouth, and two ruby tears of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. Ever since this woman was rescued by him, she has been by his side, working hard during her illness, often staying up all night to take care of herself.
(Although the third brother has been taken away by me, why is he still uneasy?) )
"How is the situation of General Rengong~?"
Zhang Jiao closed his eyes and said slightly
"General Rengong collected 70,000 yellow turbans in Ganling, of which more than 10,000 were soldiers"
In the corner, a faint voice came out.
"Hmm~!"
Zhang Jiao muttered, and his face suddenly flushed.
"Whole! Army! ”
He opened his scarlet eyes, wiped the black blood that overflowed from the corners of his mouth, opened his hands and took out a small jade bottle from under the pillow, opened the stopper and drank it in one gulp. I saw that the flushing on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his scarlet eyes gradually changed to normal color.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Jiao changed from a lifeless and dying man to a middle-aged man with a strong body and full of vitality.
(Third brother, I asked you to appease the Yellow Turban thieves and persuade them to get rid of their armor and follow the good, but you turned out to be ......, the eldest brother only has six hours to live, whether you can save you depends on the creation~)
Half an hour later, Zhang Jiao stood in the arrow tower on the south side of Guangzong City with his head held high, looking at the 70,000 most elite yellow turbans standing in line and roaring
"The heavens are dead! Yellow sky! Stand! ”
Qiang~
Zhang Jiao fiercely pulled out his sword and pointed angrily in the direction of the Han army camp.
The two thousand buriest Yellow Turban wrestlers took the lead out of the city gate with a two-foot long double-sided giant axe, followed by 60,000 Yellow Turban elites, roaring all the way with the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand".
The dying Zhang Jiao did not improve the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers, but the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers was extremely terrifying. The morale that had already been reduced to zero by Lu Zhi was directly full with Zhang Jiao's slogan. If it weren't for Zhang Jiao's current state being equal to an inflatable doll, which would explode as soon as he poked it, if he really led the army to charge, it would not be impossible for the Yellow Turban in a violent state to overturn the camp defended by 40,000 Han soldiers.
The power of faith is sometimes so unreasonable.
Bang~~
The siege fortifications built by Lu Zhi for more than a month were violently knocked away by the Yellow Turban Lux, and Xiahou Yuan, who was patrolling the camp, suddenly felt that the ground was trembling slightly, and suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly ran to the nearest tower.
In the direction of Guangzong, a large number of yellow-black figures were rapidly approaching.
"Enemy attack!!"
Xiahou Yuan's pupils contracted violently, and with a roar, the dozing sentry on the side jumped up.
"Hurry up and go to the Southwest Forest to recall Captain Cao!"
Xiahou Yuan slapped the sentry who was stopped by the surging Yellow Turban and shouted.
In the big tent, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi, three veterans, took the lead in leading the guards to rush out.
"Xiahou Miaocai, where is the yellow turban coming?!"
"Could it be that Qianghu is going south?"
"Enemy geometry?"
Xiahou Yuan froze and said solemnly:
"Three generals, Guangzong Yellow Turban is coming, about 60,000, of which 2,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers are the vanguard!"
