Under the city of Xinzheng, the sound of fighting shook the sky.

The scorching boiling oil poured down the ladder, and the soldiers of the Yuan army who climbed on the ladder fell down the ladder with a wail, and the rain of arrows of the Yuan army covered the city walls on three sides, and the Yellow Turban army on the city wall could only fight back in the gap.

The battering rams were constantly approaching the city walls, which were destroyed by the Yellow Turbans at any cost, and the few catapults concentrated their forces to attack one wall, trying to open a gap, and the bed crossbows on the walls were also launching a counterattack.

In the mighty Yuan army array, two siege towers were slowly launched, the city wall of Xinzheng was not high, the siege tower was as high as the city wall, and the Yuan army soldiers on the lowest floor frantically stepped on the pedals on the soles of their feet to provide power, and the top layer was full of the most elite soldiers of the Yuan army.

The front baffle of the siege tower can not only be erected on the city wall, so that the soldiers on the tower can climb the city wall smoothly, but also in the process of advancing, resist the enemy's crossbow arrows, the bed crossbow of the Yellow Turban Army is not enough to penetrate his defense.

The Yellow Turban Commander Guan Hai was anxious, the siege equipment of the Yuan army under the city was quite complete, and he had just taken Xinzheng, and he had not had time to build fortifications, fortunately, he used the time of the Yuan army to make siege equipment, and reluctantly arranged the defense, but with only a few bed crossbows, it was completely unable to resist the huge offensive of the Yuan army.

"General! The eastern city wall is about to be unable to withstand Yuan Jun's catapults! ”

"General! The siege towers are approaching, and our bed crossbows are completely unstoppable! ”

"General, we don't have many arrows! The enemy's battering rams are still approaching the gates! ”

……

Guan Hai, who shouted as a general, was upset, and the hand holding the long sword was also a little trembling, he was already covered in blood, looking at the soldiers around him who were still fighting, looking at the people in the city, his eyes gradually became cold.

Guan Hai asked in a hoarse voice, "How long have we been guarding?" ”

"It's been three days! The Yuan army was divided into two groups of men and horses, attacking day and night, and the brothers had not closed their eyes for three days and three nights! The corpses under the city are piled up, and the enemy can climb the city wall along the corpses! ”

"Is there any news from the Celestial Master? Any news on reinforcements? Is General Han Zhong here? ”

The Yellow Turban soldier clenched his fists and said, "No, the enemy surrounded the three walls, and the sentry rode out of the gate without reinforcements, and never returned. ”

Suddenly, a Yuan soldier climbed the city wall and went straight to Guan Hai, Guan Hai had no strength to stop him, the Yellow Turban soldier pushed Guan Hai away and waved his knife to meet the Yuan soldier, but the Yellow Turban soldier was not the opponent of the Yuan soldier, his throat was cut, and before he died, he covered his throat and stared at Guan Hai without staring at him.

A sword stabbed the Yuan soldier to death, Guan Hai hurriedly glanced at the corpse of the Yellow Turban soldier, he didn't even know the name of this pawn, but this pawn blocked the knife for him and died for him.

Yuan's battering ram arrived at the Xinzheng city gate for the first time, the soldiers mustered up their strength, more than a dozen big men pushed the sledgehammer together, the hammer hit the city gate and made a roaring sound, although the city gate looked crumbling, but there were countless yellow turban soldiers behind the city gate against the city gate.

"Boom! - Knock! - Knock! ——”

One by one, like the melody of death, no one knows which sound of knocking on the door, the city gate will be breached, and countless enemy troops will pour into the city gate, and this narrow city gate will become the Shura field.

The cave in the city gate was full of Yellow Turban soldiers, who used their bodies to resist the impact of the battering ram, and the soldiers in the front row had been displaced by the shock, and their mouths and noses were bleeding, but they did not escape, and there was no space for them to escape.

Outside the city, Yuan Shao and his strategists were on a high hillside, a huge canopy, a precious table, on which were all kinds of pastries and fruits, they talked highly, looked at the entire battlefield, and watched countless Yuan soldiers rush to Xinzheng City.

"Don't worry, I don't expect the thieves in the city to resist today! At most, two more hours, the lord can sit in Xinzheng City and hold a celebration banquet! ”

"Exactly! Our soldiers of the Yuan army fought so bravely, and they were just in charge of Hai and the like, how could they be worried! ”

"If it weren't for the wise lord, where would there be such a brave and warlike army! The recovery of Xinzheng depends on the prestige of the Lord! ”

Everyone laughed, Yuan Shao was also a little fluttering, and all the strategists took turns to toast him, and they had already been rewarded with a thousand gold in a short time.

On another hillside, Yuan Shao's brother Yuan Shu, compared to his brother Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is even more extravagant, not only wine and meat, but even countless wives and concubines around Yuan Shu.

"Hmph, get carried away!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly, with a thousand disdains.

A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man next to him asked with a smile: "The lord should not be annoyed by his momentary pride, if it wasn't for the lord to block the yellow turban thief Han Zhong for him, I'm afraid he would have been defeated a long time ago." ”

Yuan Shu said angrily: "Then don't care about him, let's withdraw the army and let him fight by himself." ”

The man sighed, and asked incredulously: "Lord, this is absolutely impossible, if we withdraw, then how can Yuan Benchu resist Han Zhongguanhai's attack on both sides, if this battle is lost, the court will blame, then the lord will ......"

"What are you afraid of!" Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "The head of the family gave him 20,000 soldiers and horses, they are all the elites of my Yuan family, this can be defeated, that is, he Yuan was incompetent!" What does it have to do with me? ”

"Yes yes yes but ......"

"Hugh has to say more, General Ben said to withdraw, then withdraw! General Ben doesn't want to use his own army to give him Yuan Benchu as a foil! ”

After the man was speechless, he also said helplessly, "No!" ”。

Yan Liang, who was supervising the battle on the front line, came to Yuan Shao with a blue face, he knew Yuan Shao, but he had to say it.

"Lord!"

Yuan Shao raised his eyelids and saw Yan Liang, and said with a smile: "My general is back!" How is the battle going? When can I enter the city? ”

Yan Liang bit his lip and asked with an embarrassed face: "Lord, our army has already lost 7,000 people!" We can't do that anymore! ”

Xu You put down his wine glass and clapped his head, and said angrily: "General Yan Liang! The Lord asks you when you will win! I didn't ask you how many casualties were! ”

Yan Liang replied with a bitter face: "If you continue to attack like this, in two hours, you should be able to enter the city!" ”

At this time, Wen Chou also returned.

"My lord! Yuan Shu suddenly withdrew his troops! Han Zhong has 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves, and he is only five miles away from our army! ”

Yuan Shao jumped up all of a sudden: "What? Yuan Highway dares to do this! ”

The strategists who were originally excellent and wandering suddenly became ants on a hot pot, and they were a little at a loss for a while, Yuan Shu withdrew his troops and left, and the plan to encircle the point to send reinforcements has become a bubble phantom, and now he is about to face the front and back attacks, it is he Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu.

In the city, five hundred Yellow Turban wrestlers have been assembled, which is the last killer weapon that Guan Hai has retained, and now the endgame can only hope that the Yellow Turban wrestlers can temporarily repel the attack of the Yuan army.

"Soldiers! For the sake of the Heavenly Master! For the suffering of the people of the world! We must give our lives! Don't be afraid, the Heavenly Master is with us! ”

"The heavens are dead! Huang Tian should stand! Years old in Jiazi! The world is lucky! ”

This wave of Yellow Turban wrestlers is slightly different from the two hundred people in Yanling, they are all heavy infantry, the yellow armor on their bodies is custom-made, the average height is seven feet, wearing armor like a rhinoceros, the weapon in the hand is also relatively unique, the handle is enough to hold in both hands, the blade is broad, and the blade is sharp.

At this time, a sentry rider suddenly rushed back, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and knelt in front of Guan Hai panting.

"General, General! Reinforcements! There are reinforcements! ”

Guan Hai seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, covered the hands of the sentry rider and asked, "Reinforcements?" Where are the reinforcements! Isn't it General Han Zhong? ”

The sentry nodded like garlic, gasped and replied, "Yes!" It's General Han Zhong! The Heavenly Master ordered General Han Zhong to lead 10,000 troops and gallop to the aid of Xinzheng in the starry night! The former army has already encountered Yuan Jun! ”

Guan Hai shook his fist vigorously and immediately ordered: "Tell the brothers, our reinforcements have arrived!" Pass me on the order! The whole army is out of town! Face Yuan Jun! ”

"No!"

The only remaining 3,000 Yellow Turban troops in the city, together with 500 Yellow Turban Warriors, all went out of the city, and the soldiers of the Yuan Army who were wielding the battering ram did not expect that the city gate would open by itself, and they were facing the Yellow Turban Army full of anger.

Looking down from the sky, Yuan's army slapped the Xinzheng city wall like a stormy wave, but when he saw the city gate out, a yellow countercurrent gushed out, and the front end of the countercurrent was a dazzling yellow! That's 500 Yellow Turban Lux!

The charge of the hoplites was comparable to that of cavalry, they attacked the formation of the Yuan army like a humanoid tank, destroyed the battering ram of the Yuan army, cut off the wheels of the siege tower, and went directly to Yuan Shao's banner!

Behind Yuan Jun, the boundless Yellow Turban Army attacked Yuan Jun's military formation, although they were plainly dressed, and many of them held hoes and sickles in their hands, but their fighting will was extremely tenacious, and they continued to impact Yuan Jun.

Yuan Shao panicked, at this time Yuan Jun had already lost the upper hand, if he didn't stop the loss in time, I am afraid that Yuan Jun's loss today would be more than the seven thousand people!

"My lord! Retreat! Taking advantage of the fact that Guan Hai's army is now tired, Han Zhong's army has not yet formed an encirclement of our army! Hurry up! Xu Yu said bitterly.

Yuan Shao didn't dare to slap the table, and said fiercely: "It's okay, today's shame!" I keep it in my heart, and I will definitely cut off the heads of the two thieves in charge of Hai Han Zhong in the coming day, and eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

What the silent soldiers thought in their hearts was, don't talk nonsense, if you want to withdraw, hurry up.

Under the command of Yan Liangwen Chou and other generals, Yuan's army still safely withdrew to the camp, and the 10,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Han Zhong joined forces with Guan Hai, and the Yellow Turban forces in Xinzheng had surpassed Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao regrouped, Xinzheng City had a new look, the city defense equipment was complete, the soldiers were sufficient, and the grain and grass were abundant, and Yuan Sha didn't know what to do.

And just when the battle of Xinzheng was in a stalemate, the long-term society, which had been stable, had a big problem.

With Zhang Jiao's appeal, more and more Yellow Turban troops gathered under the banner of General Tiangong, including many mountain bandits who temporarily revolted, as well as rebellious officers and soldiers, etc., and the number of Yellow Turban troops in Changshe has exceeded 100,000!
