When there were still two or three miles away from Huyang County, the team was discovered by the thief sentry, and when they looked at the yellow turban banner displayed by the team, the thief sentry was surprised.

Sun Ji hurriedly greeted him and explained his origin.

"Wait for you to rest here for the time being, and then make a decision after I report back to the commander!" The leader of the sentry cavalry said to Sun Ji.

Sun Ji could only agree to come down, so nearly a thousand people rested on the spot.

Under the city of Huyang, Zhou Cangzheng was commanding the siege.

The 5,000-strong army was divided into three divisions, each with more than 1,000 people, and took turns to launch a fierce attack on Huyang City.

In fact, when the decision to attack Huyang was made in winter, Zhou Cang sent spies to investigate the situation in Huyang, and knew the details of Huyang City.

poured out of the nest, ten times the strength of the defenders, which is also the reason why Zhou Cang dared to attack the county seat.

Although he decided to take refuge in Liu Bei, before that, he had to grab a handful of food and grab enough food to leave for his subordinates who remained in Tongbai Mountain, which was the last thing Zhou Cang did for these subordinates.

However, on the city wall, the Huyang defenders resisted very tenaciously, and the guards on the city wall were not only the hundreds of county soldiers, but also the people in the entire city participated in the defense of the city, so that the attack of the Yellow Turban soldiers could not achieve results for a long time.

In the morning's attack, three or four hundred men were lost, and although they attacked the city several times, they were driven down by the defenders, and they were unable to gain a foothold in the city.

After all, I don't have enough experience in siege! Zhou Cang sighed secretly. Seeing that the attack was once again repulsed by the defenders, the attacking subordinates retreated like a tide. When Zhou Cang was about to deploy another attack, a sentry suddenly came to report that a Yellow Turban Army came to join the division.

"Where's the yellow scarf?" Zhou Cang asked in surprise.

"The leader of the little marshal is named Sun Ji, according to him, he followed us in the autumn, but he didn't have time to retreat into Tongbai Mountain with the big handsome, and stayed in Huyang County." The sentry said.

"Sun Ji? Do you know this person? Zhou Cang asked.

Everyone on the left and right shook their heads.

"I seem to have some impressions." At this moment, Qian Miao, the second master, said, "In the autumn, it seems that a person named Sun Ji took the initiative to bring the villagers to join us, and that guy has a very sweet mouth and is also very generous. ”

Zhou Cang nodded: "In that case, the second master, you will work hard to meet this person." If there is no problem, we will bring him to the camp, just in time when our soldiers are tired of attacking the city, and let them drain the physical strength of the defenders for us. ”

"Got it!" Qian Miao said with a smile.

The siege battle was too tragic, and every attack would bring large casualties, at this time, a group of cannon fodder came, and the generals below Zhou Cang were very happy.

"The second master is not harmed?" Sun Ji smiled and gave Qian Miao a salute.

"Haha, Brother Sun Ji, I didn't expect you to be able to bring someone here." Seeing that it was indeed an "acquaintance" Sun Ji, Qian Miao was very happy.

"Hey, Brother Sun Ji, your strength is not bad now, there are so many people?" Qian Miao was surprised. can pull up nearly a thousand teams, in the Tongbai Mountain Yellow Turban Army, the strength has exceeded many small marshals.

"The government is brutal, and the people in Huyang are struggling to make a living, as long as the recruitment banner is raised, someone will come to eat food." Sun Ji said with a smile.

"Haha, my brother came just right, right now, under the onslaught of our army, Huyang City is crumbling, my brother led people to attack and kill a wave, maybe he can take the first credit for breaking the city, the marshal said, whoever attacks the city first will be greatly rewarded!" Qian Miao said with a smile.

"I am willing to play for the big handsome!" Sun Ji agreed very happily, which made Qian Miao even more satisfied.

So, under the leadership of Qian Miao, nearly 1,000 people continued to move closer to Huyang and stopped less than a hundred feet away from the Yellow Turban camp.

Zhou Cang ordered people to carry out more than 20 ladders from the camp and brought them to Zhang Miao and Sun Jijun, so that they could use these ladders to attack the city immediately.

At Zhang Miao's behest, Sun Ji put forward a request: "Our army has been marching all morning, walking forty or fifty miles, exhausted, tired and hungry, can you give us some food, let us have a full meal?" ”

Qian Miao didn't dare to make a self-determination and sent someone back to Zhoucang. Zhou Cang thought about it, and there was no reason for people to go hungry and attack the city.

"Three masters, you can lead people to attack again, let these people from Mao Village take a breath." Zhou Cang commanded.

"Dashuai, otherwise wait for them to finish eating before attacking." The third master was quite reluctant and proposed.

Zhou Cang shook his head: "We can't give the defenders of the city a chance to breathe, otherwise they will mobilize more people to help defend the city, and our casualties will be even greater, so we must break the city today!" ”

Although several attacks failed to take the city wall, they attacked the city head twice, which fully illustrates the difference in the combat strength of the defenders.

The three masters had no choice but to take their subordinates to attack the city wall again.

In order to save time, Zhou Cang directly ordered that the battalion cook directly for the thieves in Maocun Village, and let these guys work quickly after they were full.

"What's so embarrassing, bring the food and we can cook it ourselves." Sun Ji's face was full of embarrassment.

"It's all your own family, you're welcome." Qian Miao said with a smile.

"Brother Ji, don't bother Brother Tongbai to deliver the food, let's send some people to the camp to fetch the prepared food." Zhang Miao said to Sun Ji.

"What do you think of the second master?" Sun Ji looked at Qian Miao with a smile.

Qian Miao thought about it, the main forces were arrayed to attack the city, and there were indeed not many people in the camp, so it was indeed the most time-saving for Sun Ji to send someone to fetch food.

"Okay." Qian Miao agreed, this little thing, there is no need to ask the big boss Zhou Cang.

Zhang Miao and Xu Shu glanced at each other, Xu Shu led fifty or sixty people out of the team and walked towards the camp, and pulled two chicken carts for the convenience of getting food.

Qian Miao glanced at Xu Shu and the others, and felt that there were a lot of people taking food, Sun Ji pulled Qian Miao and kept saying compliments, so that Qian Miao didn't have a chance to think about it.

The three masters led the army to carry the ladder and rushed to the city wall again, the bricks and stones on the head of the city rained down, dozens of thieves were smashed on the head and the blood flowed, and the others threw down the ladder and retreated back.

There are substitutes for the dead ghosts to help attack the city, and these people are no longer willing to expend their strength, but only symbolically attack a few times.

In the rear, seeing that the three masters were so perfunctory, Zhou Cangqi's liver hurt. He suddenly thought that his own people, the elite under his own command, were still like this, could he expect outsiders to die?

No, you have to let the second master prepare the supervision team, if the people of Namao Village dare to retreat without working hard, let the supervision team kill the one surnamed Sun, Zhou Cang thought in his heart.

"Look, big boss, there's a fire in the camp!" At this moment, a subordinate next to him shouted in shock.

Zhou Cang suddenly looked back, and saw several puffs of black smoke coming out of the camp not far behind him, and a fire was rising.

This, what's going on? Zhou Cang was extremely shocked.
