Wenqi's troops also came one after another, everyone laughed at the reincarnation of this Wei Chigong soldier who couldn't remember things after falling into evil, and didn't feel strange at all, Wenqi asked a few people to escort this person to the ancient city to recuperate, and let people seal the cave.

After the destruction of the Yellow Turban Army, the fire of Wensingularity and the attack of ghoul beasts, Huyang City was not repaired for a few months, and it was not suitable as a garrison city.

After learning that Han Zhong's soldiers were defeated and killed, Xinye's Yellow Turban Army quickly gathered Han Zhong's more than 20,000 defeated troops and began to attack Xinye day and night, wanting to take the city before Wenqi's troops rescued Xinye, and Xinye's defender Chen Lan took advantage of the Yellow Turban Army's full strength to attack Huyang before, slowed down the attack on Xinye, and actually ran away with a few personal soldiers.

The defenders ran away, but these defenders couldn't run, Xinye is the hometown of these people, and they have never fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, and there are countless people in the city, these people must stay to surround their homes, when they learned that Wenqi defeated Han Zhong's 70,000 army in Huyang, the defenders sent people to ask Wenqi for help, Xinye is leaderless at the moment, and it is already in danger, and it may fall at any time.

"This Chen Lan, it seems that he was later Yuan Shu's general, he is really a piece of garbage, as a general who defends the city, he actually abandoned the city and left." Wenqi got the letter for help and slapped the table angrily

A bloody battle in Huyang lost nearly 5,000 people, 1,000 wounded soldiers, only more than 6,000 soldiers who could fight, and less than 7,000 defenders of Xinye, while the Yellow Turban Army attacking Xinye, headed by Pei Yuanshao, the marshal of Daqu, originally had more than 20,000 people, and after collecting Han Zhong's rout, the number had exceeded 50,000.

Xinye naturally can't see death without saving, if Xinye is allowed to fall, the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably turn to target itself, and the Huyang City Wall is broken, and now even the city gate has been demolished, how to hold on, and once Xinye City is broken, I don't know how many people will join the Yellow Turban Army.

Wen Qi immediately decided to give up Huyang, and sent people to tear down the other three city gates and find a place to bury them, in case the Yellow Turban Army took advantage of the weakness to enter, and held on to the city, while sending people to Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wang Rong for help.

And Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rong had already received Xinye's request for help one step in advance, and it happened that he had gathered a group of 5,000 men and horses transferred from the county and county towns under his jurisdiction, and immediately sent them to rescue Xinye.

And when these 5,000 men and horses arrived at the territory of Xinye, they actually learned that Xinye had been surrounded by water, and Chen Lan, the general who defended the city, abandoned the city and fled, and had no idea for a while, so he simply rushed to join Wenqi's troops.

With the addition of these 5,000 people, Wen Qi felt a little bottom in his heart, and on the one hand, he sent Zhang Fei with 1,500 cavalry to carry three times the banner, and the horse's tail dragged up the branches to bring up dust, pretending to be the illusion of the rapid advance of the army, so that the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to attack Xinye without scruples, and on the other hand, Huang Zhong took 500 people to ride the most elite war horses in the army to drive away the Yellow Turban scouts.

Outside Xinye City, Pei Yuanshao and his army have been attacking Xinye for three consecutive days, and he was about to lead his troops to attack early in the morning, when a scout suddenly came to pay respects.

"Tell Qu Shuai, I found an officer army in the east, waving the flag of "Wen", coming towards Xinye, I am afraid that there are no less than 5,000 people. ”

Pei Yuanshao was thinking about how many troops to divide to intercept this official army, and another scout came to say: "Daqu Shuai, I found an official army in the east, waving the banner of "Wen", I am afraid that there will be more than 10,000 people. ”

"What?"

At this time, another scout came and said: "There is an officer army from the east, and I am afraid that there are no less than 8,000 people under the banner of "Wen". ”

"It's all Wenzi flags, that's the Wenqi army, how many of you tell me clearly, how many people are here?" If it weren't for the fact that he didn't get the accurate number of officers and soldiers, Pei Yuanshao would have cut down all these scouts.

A few scouts were discussing, and two more scouts came, and the numbers didn't match, and finally the five scouts sat down together to discuss.

In fact, these five people only saw Zhang Fei's cavalry troops from afar, and they were driven away by Huang Zhong's troops who were in charge of clearing and suppressing scouts, and they could only estimate the size of the troops from a distance through the number of flags and the flying dust, but if this number was too outrageous, they could only negotiate a similar number.

"Daqu Shuai, there are 7,000 to 9,000 officers and soldiers in this group." Several scouts told Pei Yuanshao the results of the final discussion, and as long as the official army was between 6,000 and 10,000, a few of them would be punished at most.

These 7,000 to 9,000 officers and troops, Pei Yuanshao is not at ease, and plans to slow down the siege of the city today, and annihilate all the officers and soldiers first.

Pei Yuanshao was mobilizing troops and horses, and another scout ran in, and was hit by an arrow, and said: "An officer and army were found in the east, with the banner of "Wen", and it was estimated that there were 2,000 people. ”

"Two thousand? Two thousand! Pei Yuanshao's anger at the scout was nowhere to go, and the scout came over and told him that there were only 2,000 officers and soldiers, and everyone else was sure that there were 7,000 to 9,000 people, so was this to kill himself.

"Drag it out and cut it!" Pei Yuanshao waved his hand and asked the two Yellow Turban soldiers beside him to take this scout who lied about the military situation down to worship the sky.

Pei Yuanshao let more than 20,000 people continue to besiege the city, and he ordered 30,000 troops to be safe, and began to arrange defenses on the way to the official army, at the same time, the 500 cavalry led by Huang Zhong also acted as scouts, searching for traces of the Yellow Turban Army everywhere, Pei Yuanshao's such a large-scale troop deployment was naturally impossible to hide from Huang Zhong.

Pei Yuanshao waited for three days in a row, and when he saw that the official army was delayed, he planned to send a Yellow Turban cavalry to investigate the situation, but received the news that the troops besieging Xinye had been raided by the official army.

"Waste, these waste, why did this officer and army take a detour to Xinye again?" Pei Yuanshao scolded.

"Daqu Shuai, the officers and soldiers are treacherous, maybe there are two troops here this time, and one of them quietly raided Xinye." The centurion on the side said.

Pei Yuanshao felt that there was some reason, and asked again: "How about the losses of Xinye's troops?" ”

"There were about 3,000 casualties, and now they have retreated to the camp and held out."

"Fortunately, the loss is not big, let them stick to the camp, don't act rashly, Zhang Heizi, you take 3,000 cavalry to show me where this officer army is, and then lead them here for me."

The centurion named Zhang Heizi was still thinking about how to lure the officers and soldiers over, but he heard the scouts come to report that the officers and soldiers that Pei Yuanshao had been waiting for for three days were gone.

"It's gone, it's gone, the troops of thousands of people are gone, how do you guys investigate the military intelligence?"

Seeing that Pei Yuanshao began to wave his hand to drag himself down, the scout said: "The officers and soldiers are fast, and the small ones don't dare to get too close, and these officers and soldiers must also find out that Daqu Shuai's troops are here, and they must have retreated to Huyang." ”

"Which of Xinye's troops is it, Wenqi's troops or Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rong sent troops again??" Pei Yuanshao asked.

"With the Wenzi flag, it must be Wenqi's troops."

"That is, it is the same army as the other few days, this Wenqi is really cunning, it must be to lure our army out first, and then turn around to rescue Xinye, but how can the official army march so fast?"

"Daqu Shuai, since this officer army has entered Xinye, let's quickly withdraw the army and return to the camp to prepare, there are only a dozen Yellow Turban wrestlers in the camp now, and the Wenqi troops should not be underestimated."

Pei Yuanshao nodded and returned to the camp with 30,000 Yellow Turban troops.

On Wen Qi's side, after successfully using Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong's troops to attract the attention of Pei Yuanshao's army, he took Guan Yu, Gao Shun, Zhou Cang and 9,000 infantry from the other road day and night, and unexpectedly repelled the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army besieging the city, and successfully entered Xinye.

But compared to the Yellow Turban Army besieging the city, the problem of food and grass in the city is more urgent, Xinye has been besieged by the Yellow Turban Army for more than three months, there are still 7,000 defenders and a large number of people in the city, plus the Yellow Turban Uprising is not well prepared, the food in the city is only enough to eat for more than a month.

After defeating several Yellow Turban troops, Wen Qi had food, but hurriedly came to the rescue, and a large amount of grain and grass was bound to delay the march, and Wen Qi only let the troops bring less than twenty days of grain and grass, and the rest were sent to the rear base camp.

After thinking for a long time, Wen Qi slapped the table and said, "Since there is not enough food and grass, then take the initiative!" ”
