Yingyang City is located on the south side of Yingshui, more than 20 miles away from Yingshui, although it is not a big city in Yingchuan County, but in the end because Yingchuan is rich, it is such a city, and its outer city wall is also ten meters high.

Zhu Jun is a veteran of nearly 100 battles in all sizes, as early as more than ten miles close to Yingyang City, he ordered the soldiers of all departments to extinguish the torches in their hands and slow down the march, and the 3,000 soldiers took advantage of the slight moonlight and touched the Yingyang City lightly and skillfully.

This place is only two or three hundred meters away from Yingyang City, Zhu Jun immediately ordered all the people to be silent, and led the army Sima Zhang Chao to find a slightly raised small dirt slope on the edge of the forest, and climbed high to look at the city tower.

However, to Zhu Jun's surprise, Yingyang City is similar to an empty city, although after being occupied by the Yellow Turban Army led by Bo Cai, several trenches were dug at a distance of 20 meters outside the city wall as a defense, but there was no one on the city wall, and even the phenomenon that should not have occurred in peacetime appeared in wartime, so it had to make people have to be on guard.

Zhu Jun frowned slightly, and asked Zhang Chaoyan softly: "Zi Ji, do you think Yingyang will be an empty city?" ”

Zhang Chao shook his head again and again, and replied decisively: "Categorically not, Yingyang and Yingchuan are horns of each other, if Yingyang is lost, Yingchuan is a lonely city, I think that wave is a party of Qu Shuai, how can I not even understand such a simple truth?" ”

"Zi Ju's words are indeed true." Zhu Jun nodded, and said, "However, I have another idea. ”

Zhang Chao arched his hand and said, "I would like to hear the general say it in detail." ”

"Son, please see." Zhu Jun pointed to the circles of trenches outside Yingchuan City and asked, "Who does I think these circles of trenches are doing?" ”

Zhang Chao looked at it for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "I heard that this wave of talent started, but Yingyang Ling didn't even resist, and ran away directly. ”

"It wasn't built by Yingyang Ling to resist the moth thieves' siege, it was dug by the moths themselves." Zhu Jun said with a smile.

"Absolutely." Zhang Chao also nodded in affirmation.

"Since it was dug by moths, it was naturally to prevent our army from attacking the city."

"That's right." Zhang Chao continued to reply.

Zhu Jun turned his head and said to Zhang Chao with a smile: "Because of the layout outside the city and the fact that there is no one on the city, I expect Yingyang to be an empty city." I thought that it must have been Huangfu Yizhen who learned that I was going to attack Yingyang by surprise, so he took advantage of the situation to pull out Yingchuan and attack Nabo. ”

"The general is saying that the moth thieves in Yingyang City have abandoned this city this time and gone to protect Yingchuan?" Zhang Chao was stunned and asked in surprise.

Zhu Jun twisted his beard and chin and said with a slight smile: "The moth thief has worked so hard to dig this trench to prevent me from attacking Yingyang, and now that it has been built, why don't you arrange a guard?" If we are quietly approaching this time, and the whole army is assaulting at fifty paces, crossing the ditch and climbing the city, how will the moth thieves have time to react? ”

"There is no warning, these trenches are just decorations." Zhang Chao also nodded.

"That's right." Zhu Jun patted Zhang Chao lightly and said with a smile: "Therefore, Yingyang must be an empty city." ”

Zhang Chao has always been a meticulous person, although he heard that Zhu Jun's calculation and judgment did not have any major mistakes, but he was naturally cautious, and he still had some thoughts in the end, and did not answer on the spot.

Zhu Jun thought freely to Zhang Chao, and immediately went down the dirt slope, waved his hand to summon a strong man dressed as a military attaché, and ordered: "You should order three or five lengths, and go to the fortifications under the city to investigate carefully. ”

The military attache was immediately stunned, but did not refute Zhu Jun's words.

Zhu Jun saw it in his eyes, knowing that he and his own order were hesitant, but he was not angry or angry, and said with relief: "This city is already an empty city, and it is since climbing. ”

When the military attache heard this, he was very determined, and hurriedly surrendered his promise, and immediately took his sword to the army to select the soldiers who went to the city, but in a moment, a vanguard team of about 50 people rushed to the trench under the city with fighting spirit.

But seeing Zhang Chao rushing down from the dirt slope, waiting to walk in front of Zhu Jun, he gasped and said, "General, the moth thief must have a trick." ”

Zhu Jun glanced at Zhang Chao, then looked at the team of more than fifty people, and said with a smile: "Zi He, you are naturally cautious, which is a good thing, but on the battlefield, if you are too cautious, it will not be a good thing." ”

"General, I'm afraid the moth thief really has such a trick!"

"It's even going to be a big mistake!" Zhu Jun turned his head to stare at Zhang Chao, and his voice couldn't help but be a little louder.

Zhang Chao let out a long sigh, still unrelenting: "If Yingyang is an empty city, why haven't these many scouts reported it?" ”

"Yingyang is empty, it was reported a few days ago, otherwise, how could I have a strategy to raid Yingyang?" Zhu Jun was slightly angry and immediately retorted.

"Even so, if all the Yingyang moth thieves are withdrawn, or to protect Yingchuan, or to retreat to Nanton, there should always be a reward, right?" Zhang Chao continued to ask.

"Or was the scout captured by the moth thief before that, or the moth thief hadn't withdrawn when the scout was investigating Yingyang?" Zhu Jun shook his head again and again, and retorted to himself.

"But has the general ever thought about why the Yingyang Moth Thief withdrew?"

"Huangfu Yizhen sent troops to attack Yingchuan, and the Yingyang Moth Thieves sent troops to help, didn't I just tell you?" Zhu Jun seemed a little impatient.

"General!" Zhang Chao's voice was close to pleading: "Our army is lightly armed from Xiangcheng, but now we have only arrived at Yingyang City, and the general's people and the letter officials of the Huangfu Duke have not returned to the army at this time. ”

Zhu Jun was stunned when he heard this, as if he was taken aback by what Zhang Chao said.

Xiangcheng is two hundred miles away from Yingyang, one hundred and fifty miles away from Yingchuan, although it is closer to Yingchuan, but in any case, when he got out of Xiangcheng, there was no Huangfu Song in Xiangcheng, in this case, he forcibly marched for two whole days before running to Yingchuan City, then Huangfu Song is no matter how fast and decisive he is, he will not be able to reach Yingchuan at this time, and even fight with Bocai.

"General!" Seeing that Zhu Junwu was stunned, Zhang Chao hurriedly greeted him: "Withdraw the troops!" ”

Zhu Jun looked at Zhang Chao in a daze, and felt that there was a trace of horror in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that the fire in front of him was full of light, and hundreds of people sprang out of the several hundreds of meters of staggered trenches, all of whom were wrapped in yellow scarves and held torches, and they roared like thunder and shouted wildly, saying that "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious." ”

At the same time, there was also a fire thousands of kilometers away from the Han army, and this Yingyang realm was actually in addition to Yingyang City, and the wilderness, mountains and forests outside the city were full of sparks, as if it was full of yellow turban thieves.

Zhu Jun was shocked, and the soldiers of the three armies were also panicked, but they saw Zhang Chao suddenly pull out his side sword, pointed his sword at the sky and ordered: "There are no thieves in the city, the only way to win this battle is to attack the city, save your life, and also attack the city." ”

After Zhang Chao's shouting, Zhu Jun was sober, and he also drew the long knife on his side and shouted "kill the thief" three times.

With that, Zhu Jun picked up his knife and got on his horse, rode into the dust, and rushed to the hundreds of yellow turban thieves in front of the trench. The main general did not care about life and death, and the soldiers under him naturally became more courageous, so at this moment, the commanders of each department restrained their subordinates, the cavalry mounted their horses to find an open place to line up, and the infantry checked the siege equipment and drew their swords to charge. The Han army, which had been panicked a moment ago, adjusted its ranks in an instant, preparing for battle.

The place where the three thousand Han troops hid was only three hundred meters away from Yingyang City, and only two hundred meters away from the Yellow Turban thieves who came out of the trench. ”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of torches were thrown towards Zhu Jun, and the crotch mount was frightened when he saw the fire, and immediately lost his front hooves, thanks to Zhu Jun's superb riding skills, he rolled off the horse to avoid falling off the horse and being injured, and the yellow turban thieves saw that the person who fell from the horse was wearing silver armor, which was the appearance of an officer, and laughed and shouted: "Kill the dog officer!" Kill the dog! ”

Zhu Jun also shouted angrily, pulled out a long knife, and cut down the two of them when he stepped forward, not wanting these yellow turban thieves to be not only afraid, but even more annoyed, they were like mad dogs, no matter whether the weapon in his hand was a knife or a stick, they all slashed towards Zhu Jun's body.

Fortunately, Zhu Jun was wearing silver armor, and the weapons and sticks in the hands of these yellow turban thieves were all rotten and inferior things, even if they hit Zhu Jun in a chop, they could not give them fatal damage, but the strength of one person was difficult to defeat the crowd, and Zhu Jun was difficult to support with three or five sticks, and was smashed to the ground by these yellow turban thieves.

The Yellow Turban thieves just waited to go further, intending to step forward as a result of Zhu Jun, who expected to hear a few swishing sounds, but they were all hit by arrows to the ground, it turned out that only Zhu Jun stepped forward to fight for his life During this time, the few more than 300 cavalry of the Han army had already completed the formation, charging forward to support Zhu Jun, and this round of shooting was the first few cavalry masterpieces with excellent archery skills.

Zhu Jun didn't have time to think about it, hurriedly got up, stabbed a sword on the shoulder of a yellow turban thief who was still talking about the sky and the yellow sky, and the arrow was not dead, and asked: "Bocai army, where is it now?" ”

The yellow turban thief vomited blood, but laughed wildly, which was particularly weird.

Zhu Jun exerted force in his hand, stabbed deeper, and roared angrily and asked, "Where is Bocai!" Where! ”

The yellow turban thief spat at Zhu Jun: "Scolded!" Qu Shuai is behind you! This is going to take your pig's head! ”

Zhu Jun was shocked when he heard this, he actually gave the hand holding the knife, turned around, but saw that there was nothing behind him except for the roaring Han army, let alone what kind of wave talent it was.

Zhu Jun was very angry in his heart, and he was about to turn around, but this nonsense Yellow Turban thief, unexpectedly, this person found a gap, stood up, and even though he still had Zhu Jun's long knife stuck in his shoulder, he suddenly pounced on Zhu Jun and bit him in the face.

Zhu Jun shouted and kicked his people violently, the yellow turban thief was seriously injured and had no strength, and he couldn't resist Zhu Jun's violent kick, so he flew ten feet away.

As the person fell to the ground and died, Zhu Jun also felt a pain on his face, but the blood did not stop flowing when he brushed his face, and the dead yellow turban thief showed a terrible smile on his face, and his mouth was just a bloody ear.
