After only staying in Luoyang for two days, Wen Qi and a few people hurriedly set off to the ancient city, Taiping Road, which is now the Yellow Turban Army, has completely fallen out with the Han Dynasty, and the situation is about to deteriorate, and the ancient city is only guarded by Li Gao, who has ordinary ability, Wen Qi is really a little relieved.

Fortunately, Luoyang is not far from the ancient city, but the Yellow Turban on the side of Changshe and Yingchuan is fierce, and Wenqi detours the ancient city from Jingzhou.

As the first city to see in this world, Wenqi has a special affection for it.

However, at this moment, the gates of the ancient city are closed, and there are many defenders standing on the city walls, and the atmosphere seems to be a little weird.

"Open the door, Lord Wen is back." Zhou Cang shouted under the city gate.

"The people of the city will wait for the time being." The guards of the city said.

After a while, the city gate opened, and Li Gao ran to Wen Qi and said, "My lord, you are back!" ”

I haven't seen him for half a year, this Li Gao looks a lot fatter, Wen Qi quipped: "Seeing the city gate closed, I thought that Mr. Li was going to occupy the mountain again." ”

"Lord, what is my Li Gao, I don't know yet, the current world, I just ran to the mountains and wilderness to live in seclusion, and I didn't dare to occupy the city, closed the city gate, I was really afraid of those Taiping Dao demons."

"Tell me about the situation in the past six months."

"My lord, the situation can't be worse, I don't know how to talk about it, several counties under the jurisdiction of Runan, including Runan, except for the ancient city, are all occupied by those Taiping Dao, now called the Yellow Turban Army."

"So serious!" Wen Qi was taken aback, although the people in the West Garden told him that Runan might fall, but he didn't expect that even the county seat below would be lost, and he spent 600 gold to make a Taishou, and in the end, there was only one ancient city.

"If it weren't for the previous adult's tricks to renovate the Taiping Road here, I'm afraid that the ancient city would not be able to defend it now."

"I can't imagine that this Yellow Turban Army is so rampant!"

"It is said that the Yellow Turban General Bo Cai commanded nearly 400,000 Yellow Turban troops, and he would also cast demon spells, and the officers and soldiers couldn't hold it at all, they all abandoned the city and fled, the more officers and soldiers abandoned the city, the larger the number of the Yellow Turban Army, and now it is out of control."

"Runan is the only place where the ancient city has not been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will come to the ancient city." Wen Qi said with a frown.

"The villain is also worried about this, so he closes the city gate every day, if the adults don't come again, I'm afraid that the soldiers who defend the city will abandon the city and flee."

The situation is a bit beyond imagination, a wave can actually lead 400,000 Yellow Turban Army, that Jizhou is said to have more than a million Yellow Turbans, how many people are there in this Yellow Turban Army, even if it is a false number of people, so many cities are occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, the number of people can not be less, and his own subordinates are still a thousand people left by themselves at that time.

After entering the ancient city, Wen Qi ordered Li Gao to immediately recruit troops, and let Zhou Cang be responsible for building the city wall, Guan Yu and Gao Shun began to train soldiers, this Gao Shun's personality is not pleasant, just because he likes to speak outright, after Wen Qi told Guan Yu about Gao Shun's character, he found that Guan Yu still likes Gao Shun, which may also be related to Guan Yu's transformation from a mung bean seller to a general of the unified army.

Ten days later, Li Gao cobbled together nearly 800 people to join the army, and Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei finally arrived in the ancient city with 300 cavalry.

Originally, Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei bought two hundred horses in Zhuo County, and a total of four hundred horses set off from Zhuo County, but they encountered a lot of Yellow Turban troops on the way, and some of them were not good at riding, so they folded a hundred horses, which made Wen Qi feel distressed for a while.

However, at least there were more than 2,000 defenders in the city, and Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei also brought the batch of weapons and armor made by Zhuo County, and Wen Qi distributed them to several of his generals.

Guan Yu: Iron Glaive Knife, level 5 blue weapon, damage increased by 30; Iron Armor, Level 4 Blue Armor, Defense increased by 16.

Zhang Fei: Refined Iron Snake Spear, level 5 blue weapon, damage increased by 30; Iron Armor, Level 4 Blue Armor, Defense increased by 16.

Huang Zhong: Iron Sword, Level 4 Blue Weapon, damage increased by 24, Iron Bow, Level 4 Blue Weapon, damage increased by 24 when shooting; Iron Armor, Level 4 Blue Armor, Defense increased by 16.

Gao Shun: Dark Iron Knife, level blue weapon, damage increased by 30; Iron Armor, Level 4 Blue Armor, Defense increased by 16.

Zhou Cang: Iron Sword, level 4 blue weapon, damage increased by 24, fine iron armor, level 4 blue armor, defense increased by 16.

Three days later, Wen Qi and Huang Zhong were patrolling the city wall, but they heard a burst of drum music from the east.

Wen Qi looked for prestige, a team of about 20 troops, wearing yellow clothes and yellow scarves, at first glance it was the dress of the Yellow Turban Army, but it was much more formal, and there were even four people holding banners, which read: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious." "There were people beating gongs and drums in the back.

"How do you look like a guard of honor?"

Wen Qi was a little uncertain, and Huang Zhong on the side was also puzzled.

The guard of honor of the yellow turban was divided into two neat columns, and a person came out in the middle and said to the head of the city: "Listen to the county magistrate inside! ”

Wen Qi was even more strange, how did he know that I was on the city wall, shouldn't he find someone to find the county order first?

"By the order of General Bocai under the command of General Tiangong, the ......"

The man was stunned after saying two words, his face became strange, Wenqi was a little confused by him, and suddenly patted his head.

"This guy forgot the words!"

Huang Zhong on the side was also full of black lines, what kind of thing is this, a group of rabble, and he can't even find a few people who can read and write.

"If you don't raise the city and surrender after three days, my 100,000 Yellow Turban Heavenly Soldiers will definitely set foot on the city, and the county officials inside will understand?"

finally finished speaking, that Zhang Fei had already been called to the city by Wenqi.

"Yanren Zhang Fei is here, you demons who have brought disaster to the country and the people, tell that Zhang Jiao and Bocai, as long as you dare to come, I will definitely take his head!"

Zhang Fei roared and launched, and a series of sounds like thunder frightened the Yellow Turban Honor Guard, holding their heads and running away, and the banners, gongs and drums were all thrown away.

"Hahaha!" The defenders of the city were amused.

This is also the purpose of Wenqi calling Zhang Fei up, at least the morale has risen.

However, these Yellow Turban Army said that they were going to attack the county seat in three days, and they didn't know if they could hold it?

Wen Qi naturally didn't really think that the Yellow Turban Army would send 100,000 people to fight his own small county, but it was possible to have 10,000 or 20,000 people, except for the previous 1,000 soldiers, the rest of his subordinates were all recruits who had just joined the army for half a month, that is, no matter how strong Gao Shun's ability to resist the army was, the combat effectiveness of these current recruits would not be much stronger than those Yellow Turban Army.

"My lord, there is another team of people, it seems to be an official army." Huang Zhong's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the northwest and said.

In less than half an hour, the group of men and horses also arrived at the city, and I am afraid that there were five or six hundred people.

"It's Wen Taishou in the city!" The soldiers under the city asked.

"Officially, dare to ask the general what is the matter?"

"On the order of Lord Li of the West Garden, six thousand sets of armor and eight hundred shields will be handed over to Lord Wen."

It turned out that the armor and shield bought in the West Garden at that time were said to be sent to the ancient city, but I didn't expect to send 600 infantry to escort them and collect money to do things, which is honest.

These armors and shields came at the right time, which could greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of Wenqi's soldiers.

Thinking of combat effectiveness, the six hundred infantry from the West Garden were simply a division of tigers and wolves compared to their own miscellaneous army.

"All the soldiers have come from afar to work hard, so it is better to go into the city to rest for a few days and eat some wine and meat." Wen Qi said to the six hundred infantry under the city.

"Then it's too troublesome."

From Luoyang to the ancient city, this way has been more than 20 days, it is really hard, and the return journey is more than 20 days, so I can rest for a few days and eat some wine and meat, of course, these people can't ask for it.

"Hansheng, you must serve these Xiyuan soldiers with good meat for a long time these days, and eat wine and meat here for at least three days." Wenqi deliberately bit the word three days.

Huang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Huang Zhong understands. ”
