Chapter 80: The county will not go out

The sudden fire in the camp shocked Zhou Cang, but he didn't think much about it at first, thinking that it was just a fire accidentally caused by the gang.

However, when the shouts of killing came from the camp, Zhou Cang finally sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to find out what was going on.

"Qian Miao misunderstood me!" Zhou Cang shouted angrily.

The situation is already very obvious, and the change that occurred is the work of Sun Ji in this Mao Village! Where is this to take refuge in yourself, it is clearly a sneak attack! Pretending to be a yellow scarf to attach himself to himself, and launching a surprise attack while he was unprepared, Sun Ji, who was killed by God, is really insidious!

Because there was no vigilance, most of the Yellow Turban team was attacking the city, and there were only more than 1,000 people left in the reserve team by Zhou Cang's side, and these 1,000 people were in a relaxed state. Now that it was suddenly attacked, the other side was so close that it was too late to form a team.

And what made Zhou Cang's heart chill the most was that many Yellow Turban soldiers didn't know what was going on, and suddenly the camp caught fire, and then there were shouts of killing, and many Yellow Turban soldiers thought that the officers and soldiers who rescued Huyang had arrived. The Yellow Turbans who were besieging the city panicked, and the ranks were in a state of confusion.

Zhou Cang knew that the enemy army in rebellion was less than a thousand, and his own number was five times that of the enemy, but Zhou Cang had no way to inform the whole army of the actual situation.

"Follow me and kill Sun Ji!" Zhou Cang lifted the big knife and shouted angrily.

Zhou Cang saw that as long as he defeated this damn Maocun Sun Ji, even if there was a riot in the team, there would not be much danger.

With Zhou Cang's order, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in the Chinese Army began to line up one after another, and the distance between the two sides was only one mile, and the enemy army that rushed was very fast, Zhou Cang couldn't wait for the team to be completely ready, and took the lead in charging over.

Seeing the Yellow Turban Thief coming over in a mess, Zhang Miao was no longer in a hurry to enter the army, but slowed down, and a series of orders came out of his mouth.

With Zhang Miao's order, the spearmen hung their spears on their waists, and pulled out short spears from their backs with their backhands to prepare. The archers on either side of the array stepped forward, bending their bows and arrows ready to fire. The sword and shield soldiers at the forefront raised their shields one after another, protecting the entire queue.

The whole movement is carried out in the process of marching, which is very smooth. And Zhang Miao also bent his bow and arrows, and when he saw that the distance between the two sides was about a hundred steps, the feather arrows were thrown out of the air. As Zhang Miao's feather arrows were shot, dozens of archers also threw feather arrows into the air, and dozens of feather arrows flew to the highest, and then fell sharply, falling towards the Yellow Turban Thief queue.

Without looking at the results of the feathered arrows, the archers bent their bows again, drew their arrows, threw them, and by the time they had passed the third round, the distance between the two sides was only thirty paces.

"Flying spear!"

The spearmen threw out their short spears one after another, and without looking at the results, they took out another one and continued to throw. Three rounds of flying spears were thrown, and a total of nearly 1,000 short spears were thrown into the ranks of the thief army, and when they looked at the thief army, it was already in chaos, and many thieves turned around and ran.

In a hurry, Zhou Cang's subordinates were only a thousand people, and the number of township soldiers plus Maocun soldiers was not much, and there was no time to form a team, so they were in a mess, trying to repel the invading enemy with a sharp spirit.

Although Zhou Cang has been a thief for many years, he used to follow Nanyang Yellow Turban Marshal Zhang Mancheng, relying on personal force to be promoted to Yellow Turban Marshal, after Zhang Mancheng's failure, he left Nanyang and fled to Tongbai Mountain. In addition to being stronger in force, Zhou Cang actually has no ability to lead troops, and he doesn't know much strategy. And this time, he wanted to rush into the enemy army by force and defeat the attacking enemy army.

But the enemy army on the opposite side was beyond Zhou Cang's imagination, the two armies had not yet contacted, the Yellow Turban Army was baptized by feather arrows and several rounds of flying spears, the Yellow Turban soldiers could not eat enough on weekdays, naturally there was no money to buy armor for defense, and the counterattack was hasty, and many thieves even forgot to take the wooden shield.

Under several rounds of blows from feathered arrows and flying spears, at least more than 200 thieves were shot and killed on the spot!

A team of more than 1,000 people was shot and killed, with a casualty rate of more than 20%, which made the other Yellow Turban thieves terrified. Where they still dare to charge, many people turn around and run.

Although Zhou Cang was furious, looking at this situation, he also knew that he was defeated, so he immediately turned back and joined the ranks of escape.

Zhang Miao was a little stunned, he didn't expect that he would defeat the other party with feather arrows and flying spears. A thief is a thief, it's just vulnerable.

Zhang Miao naturally would not let go of the opportunity to completely defeat the thief army, and immediately led the team to start a pursuit.

Deng Tu picked up a double axe, and quickly surpassed Zhang Miao with a hundred township soldiers under his command, and cut into the fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who were directly killed cried wolf.

Sun Ji was not to be outdone, knowing that this was a good opportunity to beat the water dog, he took the people from Mao Village to follow Deng Tu only, and he rushed very quickly. However, if you pay attention to it, you will find that the people of Maocun do not spend all their energy on combat, but from time to time they look down to check the things on the ground while running, the knives and spears and weapons thrown away by the thieves, the feather arrows scattered on the ground, and even some people carry the corpses to search, Zhang Miao is very funny to see.

"Order, don't pay attention to this defeated army, kill the city wall!" Zhang Miao observed the battlefield and saw the siege thieves retreating from Huyang City, and immediately ordered.

The herald beside him blew his horn and pointed his flag at the city wall. The township soldiers who were chasing and killing the thieves stopped one after another, returned and gathered behind the general flag, and after tidying up the team a little, Zhang Miao led the township soldiers to kill under the city wall.

Seeing that the township soldiers stopped chasing and killing, Sun Ji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered to gather, but the soldiers in Mao Village were naturally far less well-trained than the Sanshui Township soldiers, and half of the women, after they finally sorted out the queue, they found that the Sanshui Township soldiers had run away.

"Keep up, keep up." Sun Ji hurriedly shouted.

Although he has four or five hundred men under his command, there are less than two hundred men, and his combat strength is very ordinary, and he does not have a sense of security on the battlefield of these thousands.

At the head of Huyang City, looking at the sudden changes outside the city, Huyang made Cheng Qi a little dazed.

A moment ago, the thieves were still frantically attacking the city, and suddenly it was chaotic.

"County Zun, it seems that reinforcements are coming." The main Bo Fei Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

"Seems like so." Cheng Qian muttered.

"County Zun, the thieves are in chaos, let's take people out and kill them, we will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop." Fei Cheng hurriedly suggested.

Cheng Qi shook his head slowly: "Be cautious, you must be cautious, maybe it's a thief's trick?" They saw that they could not attack Huyang, and pretended to be reinforcements to lure us to open the city gate. ”

Fei Cheng was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the thief's defeat was very real, not like a lure to the enemy.

"The county is respectful and clever, and his subordinates almost missed a big thing." Fei Cheng hurriedly complimented. Either way, it's always nice to send a sycophant.

Cheng Qi stroked his beard, looking unfathomable. I secretly said in my heart, no matter whether the reinforcements came or not, this county will not go out!
