Everyone present, including Yang Gu, was stunned when they saw that the old man surnamed Yang was so strong, only the strong man who was the leader and the more than ten villagers behind him collapsed to the ground when they saw this situation, and they all lay down beside the old man, crying incessantly.

Seeing this, Huang Ting did not hesitate any longer, and with a shout, more than ten tiger soldiers unloaded all the soldiers who had intended to resist with swords and surrounded them.

"Team rate, what should we do with these individuals?" Huang Ting's words were cold, and he asked in a deep voice.

Yang Gu let out a long sigh, but did not give a direct order, but took a step forward, squatted in front of the old man, and pulled out the dagger from his neck. ”

Huang Ting made a promise, Yang Gu immediately stood up, glanced at the old man on the ground again, and sighed: "In the end, he is a hero, since he knows that he has committed suicide, he will no longer be held accountable for dereliction of duty, and he will be buried properly." ”

The more than ten villagers who were bound by Huang Ting heard Yang Gu's decision, and they cried again, but they also changed their previous behavior, knelt down to Yang Gu in unison, and thanked them again and again.

Yang Gu smiled bitterly, raised his head and glanced in the direction of the Yellow Turban Company Camp, muttered to himself, and chanted: "If you die, the moth thief will also die." ”

The moonlight was as clear as water, and there was nothing else to say about this absurd and messy night.

What made the Han army camp nervous again was that at sunrise the next day, moths and thieves from the northeast roared.

Yang Gu did not remove his armor all night, so he leaned on the edge of the gate and closed his eyes to rest, so that almost at the same time as the sentry on the watchtower of the camp heard the roar of the moth thief and the shouting of killing, and a spirit stood up.

The Han soldiers in the village behind him had little combat experience, and suddenly heard that outside the camp, there seemed to be such an earth-shaking sound not too far away, and their faces turned pale with shock, and many young soldiers actually fell directly to the ground, trembling and trembling.

Yang Gu helped the silver helmet on his head, his face was slightly gloomy, and he drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and prepares to fight." ”

At the same time, Huang Ting, the leader of the team, had also arrived at the front of the platform, and he also shouted and commanded: "The crossbowmen are in place." ”

As soon as the words fell, a team of 100 people immediately flashed on the left side of the Chinese army's tent, and the general also ordered in a loud voice: "Prepare bows and crossbows, and climb the camp wall." ”

The outer wall of the camp is composed of two rows of wooden piles, the outer high and the inner low, of which the inner slightly lower wooden stakes are used for the crossbowmen or archers at this time, Yang Gu knows that the enemy is outnumbered, and it is impossible to rely on the Han Military Region to defeat the moth thieves at least 20,000 or 30,000 people, so it is particularly troublesome to build this camp, and because of this, the work of more than 100 crossbowmen on the wall to build crossbows also saves a lot of time and effort.

However, even so, after the pre-battle preparations of the crossbowmen of the Han army were completed, the Yellow Turban army all over the mountains had already arrived at the first deer gate only 200 meters away from the Zhaimen.

Yang Gu stood on the inner camp wall, and also gasped, although as a person of later generations, he was disdainful of what bullshit yellow turban thieves were in his heart, but at this moment, in the face of such an exaggerated number of yellow turban troops, he was still cowardly, so much so that he saw the yellow turban front team easily pull out the first deer with his own eyes, but he only said a word, let alone give an order.

Whether it was the more than 100 crossbowmen who stood on the camp wall and saw with the eyes of the Yellow Turban army, or the 600 soldiers who hid in the trenches inside the village and only heard the sound of killing outside the village, they were all silent, and the Han army camp was dead silent.

On the contrary, the Yellow Turban thieves outside the village are cheering again and again, although the trench dug by Yang Gu in advance is deep enough, and there are enough miscellaneous wood deer villages set up, but in the end it is impossible to stop the battle of tens of thousands of people in the Yellow Turbans.

Huang Ting, who was standing beside Yang Gu, was anxious when he saw this situation, and finally took the lead in breaking the quiet and strange atmosphere of the Han army camp, and said, "It's only one hundred and fifty steps. ”

Yang Gu was still distracted, and he unconsciously asked, "One hundred and fifty steps?" Can it be within the range of the ballista? ”

Huang Ting was anxious: "The crossbow machine has three times the range of the bow and arrow, and it is only one hundred and fifty steps, and it is already within the range. ”

Yang Gu came back to his senses in a trance, let out a sigh of relief, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, I could only hear the sound of breaking through the sky, and more than a hundred crossbow arrows were not traced, and they were all inserted into the yellow turban thieves who had just climbed the second trench one hundred and fifteen paces away, cheering with joy.

It must be known that this crossbowman is not only as Huang Ting said, the strength of the shooting is three times that of the bow and arrow, and the array of crossbowmen is often lined up, and the preparation for shooting only needs to aim with the crossbow machine as much as possible, which is simply effortless compared with the archers opening their bows and arrows, so the crossbow shooting is extremely high while ensuring the lethality.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 Yellow Turban thieves were killed by arrows on the spot, and they all fell backwards and fell into the trench that they had just tried to climb out.

Seeing this, the crossbowmen of the Han army on the wall of the wall cheered loudly, although the soldiers of the Han army in the trench in the wall did not know why, but they saw the comrades on the wall of the camp so happy, they knew that they had been cheapened, and they were also excited, and the morale of the entire Han army camp rose sharply.

Yang Gu also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that these more than 100 crossbow machines were abandoned by Sun Jian because they were complicated and heavy, and they were not easy to carry, and they stayed in Liu Wei's army, and he was also glad that the crossbow arrows in the camp were sufficient, enough for these more than 100 crossbowmen to shoot and kill, and he heard that the generals in charge of these crossbowmen repeatedly put on arrows and released arrows to give orders, and the Yellow Turban thieves who were originally high morale down the slope finally stopped at the second trench, and it was difficult to move forward half a step.

A round of crossbowmen of the Han army can kill dozens of people, and the uphill road is narrow and crowded, although the number of yellow turbans is large, but it cannot be fully pressed, so after dozens of rounds of shooting by the Han army, the second trench is actually born more than 1,000 moth thief corpses.

It is not easy to climb over the deer ditch, and now there are so many corpses suddenly in such a narrow road, and it is even more difficult to get close to the Han army camp in front of it, before noon, I saw dozens of apricot yellow flags flashing under the slope in the distance, crying and wailing all morning, the yellow turban front team suddenly cheered and jumped, and rushed to flee down the slope.

"The moth thief has retreated." Huang Ting was overjoyed when he saw this, and cheered loudly: "Victory!" Win! ”

The soldiers of the whole army also cheered when they heard this, but Yang Gu alone went up to the watchtower, sent back the sentries, looked down the slope from afar, and still didn't say a word, looking at the corpses of many moths and thieves in a daze, as if he had an understanding.

"What is Team Yang thinking?" Huang Ting saw it in his eyes, went up to the watchtower, turned back to Yang Gu's side, and asked softly: "Since the moth thief has temporarily retreated, I think there is no way to break the camp, does Team Yang have any other concerns?" ”

Yang Gu smiled bitterly, glanced at Huang Ting, and replied with a long sigh: "So far, I don't have any other worries, just looking into the distance, but I am just counting the corpses of the moth thieves." ”

"In this case, how many moth thieves have died, can Team Yang understand it?"

Yang Gu shook his head, and smiled bitterly: "Count the back, forget the front, how to count to understand, it's just that this bow and crossbow shot lost no less than 3,000 crossbow arrows, I just hope that the moth thief can have more casualties." ”

"But although there are plenty of crossbow arrows in the camp, there will always be a time when they run out." The two were silent for a moment, and then heard Yang Gu say something again.

Huang Ting's heart moved, and he asked softly, "What does Team Yang mean by this?" ”

Yang Gu chuckled, pointed to the second trench where the corpses of the Yellow Turban thieves were piled up, and said: "Although there are many moth thieves, there are few weapons, and those in iron armor are nothing more than generals in the army. ”

Huang Ting also affirmed with his head on his chin: "If there are enough crossbow arrows, with such a mountainous terrain and the ditches and deer in front of this camp, the moth thieves will gather all the soldiers from all over the world here, so what are we afraid of." ”

"Zijun, I want to get those crossbow arrows back." Yang Gu nodded again and again, and then looked at Huang Tingcheng and said sincerely.

Huang Ting was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Take it back?" Get it back from the corpses of the moths? ”

Yang Gu nodded again.

"From here, the corpses of those moths and thieves are no less than a hundred and fifty paces, and as you said, the camps are surrounded by trenches and traps, which are not only difficult for the enemy and thieves to attack, but also for our army to enter and exit easily." Huang Ting was convinced of what Yang Gu said before, so he was even more puzzled when he heard that he had such an idea: "If you can't get out of the camp, how can you talk about retrieving the crossbow arrows." ”

Yang Gu finally shook his head and chuckled, and said in a low voice: "If it is really cut off from the outward passage, wouldn't it be digging a grave by itself, and how is it different from those stupid and stupid moth thieves?" ”

"That's ......," Huang Ting was surprised.

Before Huang Ting finished speaking, Yang Gu was already the head of the jaw, and continued to say in a low voice: "When the camp fortifications were arranged before, Zhang Liao and I privately worked together to dig a ditch in the Chinese army's tent with more than 100 tiger soldiers, which was able to avoid many traps outside the camp and lead to the location of the first trench two hundred steps away. ”

Huang Ting thought for a moment, and before he could ask again, he once again asserted for Yang Gu: "Now the only people in the army who know about this passage are Zijun and me, the reason why I deceived the soldiers is just that I am afraid that most of the sergeants in this army are new soldiers, and I am afraid that I will not be able to entrust life and death when the matter comes. ”

But seeing Huang Ting's slight change of color, he chuckled and sneered: "In this way, this secret path is just waiting for my military camp to be broken, and it is for Team Yang to escape for his life." ”

"Now it can also be used as a protective camp!" Yang Gu's words were earnest, and he even clenched his fists and slammed on the wooden stake on his side: "Besides, if you really can't hold on, what's wrong with abandoning the camp and fleeing for your life?" You also saw the moth thief battle with your own eyes today, don't you really think that just with these hundred bows and crossbows, you can resist this mountain thief? ”

Huang Ting was speechless for a while, and his people knew that the so-called "gathering the world's moth thieves here, and being fearless" was just a rhetoric, and the seven hundred new army against tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves was very different, and the day when Yang Gu said that the camp was broken was only a matter of time or later.

Yang Gu saw that his person was silent in thought, and finally sighed, and continued: "Why does Zijun think that His Royal Highness abandoned the ministry, disguised himself as a moth thief, and went to Yingyang? ”
