Chapter 20: The Danger of Wancheng 1
Yun Ya didn't know how to persuade him, so he simply didn't stop it, but went to the tent to observe it for him, so as not to spread it out and cause extraneous branches. Fortunately, there is no one else around, and all of them are Liao Hua's cronies here, so they must have the same idea as Zhou Cang, and they will not cause harm.
However, since he had come out, Yun Ya'er didn't want to go back to face Zhou Cang, so he sat down on the stone at the entrance of the tent and looked at the stars in the sky, but he didn't know that someone had quietly approached at this time and accompanied him to look at it.
Looking at it, Yun Ya'er didn't realize that he was fascinated, and when he turned around, it was already the time when the army was marching, everyone was ready to go, only he was unprepared, and returned to the camp in a panic, but Zhou Cang was gone. However, the situation was urgent, and only when Zhou Cang had something to do, he went in advance, packed up his things hastily, and followed behind the queue.
Walking to the battlefield, you can hear the thunderous shouts and battles in front of you in the distance. The Yellow Turban Army attacked the city gate on the side, without any strategy, and was crushed by the rain of falling rocks and arrows above the city tower, but they still fought bravely, and the vacancy was quickly filled by the follow-ups.
Looking at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, Yun Yaer was puzzled, it was just a siege, why did he have to pay such a painful price. Fortunately, Liao Hua did not let the army continue to advance, but just waited outside the range of the bow and arrow. Yun Ya'er took the opportunity to look for dozens of people in the army, until Liao Hua came to him, but he didn't see Zhou Cang. Liao Hua saw that he was in a hurry, so he asked why, and Yun Yaer had to tell the truth. Hearing that Zhou Cang had escaped from the battle, Liao Hua looked panicked and sighed, "It's too arbitrary, if the above investigates it, the crime of this deserter will be difficult to escape, but fortunately, the soldiers of our department are all under the jurisdiction of a certain office, so it will not cause trouble." "It turned out that Zhou Cang really left without permission and did not receive the task.
Thinking about the kung fu of this conversation, Zhang Mancheng had already broken through the city gate and personally led the army to rush in. Liao Hua hurriedly ordered to chase, and then rode away with Pei Yuanshao and others. Yun Ya'er's infantry army slowly followed him and walked into the city gate.
It stands to reason that after the city is broken, there should be remnants of the army in the city to continue to resist, but in this Wan City, except for the Yellow Turbans, not to mention the officers and soldiers, not even a single ordinary person has been seen. Only the group of archers above the city tower were captured by Zhang Mancheng's people and thrown down the city, and there was no one else. Zhang Mancheng's subordinates had no doubts, and went straight to the house, and only after searching for it did they come out with valuable items, all of them smiling. Liao Hua stepped forward to persuade him, but he was scolded and had to return to his army to control the fire.
When Zhang Mancheng's team moved forward a little, suddenly ten thousand arrows were fired, shooting most of the people on the horse, and Zhang Mancheng himself was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse. Immediately, with a burst of shouts of killing, the officers and soldiers poured out of the alley and took Zhang Mancheng directly.
Seeing the turbulent arrival, Zhang Mancheng shouted, jumped on the horse again, turned the horse's head sharply, and rushed towards Yun Ya'er, presumably because he felt that Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao were more powerful, so as to cover up and escape. But as everyone knows, a stray arrow is shooting at his back, impartially.
Suddenly, a black shadow burst out of the firelight, slashed the arrow with a knife, and shouted in his mouth: "Qu Shuai goes first, and then he will be broken!" Zhang Mancheng looked back, only to see the fire shining on his body, printing a fierce side face, that person was Du Yuan!
Then Du Yuan split a few more arrows, and then chased Zhang Mancheng away. When the officers and soldiers chased halfway through and saw that the Yellow Turbans were numerous, they did not dare to chase any more, so they asked the archers to shoot arrows from a distance and did not let the Yellow Turbans take half a step forward. Seeing that Qu Shuai had been defeated and left, and the Yellow Turbans had no will to fight, under the cover of Liao Hua and others, they abandoned what they were doing and withdrew outside the city. However, Liao Hua himself was reluctant to move, and even tried to meet the wounded soldiers, but the wounded soldiers had already fallen to the ground, and the official army was so close that he could not respond. After Pei Yuanshao's repeated persuasion, Liao Hua led his subordinates to retreat towards the city gate.
By the time Yun Ya'er ran out of the city in a hurry with Liao Hua, Zhang Mancheng had already disappeared, but he could see that Du Yuan was still waiting at the door with a knife. Facing their eyes, Yun Ya'er couldn't help but feel weak for a while, and looked away. It's just that Du Yuan didn't come to look at him, said hello to Liao Hua, and left.
At this time, the soldiers in the city did not chase out, and finally got out of danger, Liao Hua turned around and looked at the fallen soldiers, sighing, hating himself for failing to persuade Zhang Mancheng, so he suffered this defeat. Everyone on the side wanted to come forward to comfort them, but they were reprimanded by Liao Hua and returned, so they didn't dare to say any more, so they had to accompany him to station at the door to help the wounded soldiers escape.
After dealing with the battle, it was already the middle of the night, Yun Ya'er was really sleepy, and hurriedly bid farewell to the chief, and didn't care about the darkness on the road, so he went to the camp in a daze. When I walked outside the tent, I saw a person with his back to him, thinking it was Zhou Cang, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Where did you run just now, why did you come back now?" ”
When "Zhou Cang" heard the voice, he was a little panicked, and coughed twice before replying: "You are embarrassed to ask this, the thief army is attacking on a large scale, if I don't hide, will I still help the thief attack the city?" Listening to his tone, there seemed to be some complaints, but his voice was not as thick as before.
At the moment of sleepiness, Yun Ya'er didn't bother to doubt it, just stepped forward to invite "Zhou Cang" to the back, and walked into the tent, and didn't forget to say: "Forget it, forget it, you can't be blamed for this, anyway, Brother Liao doesn't plan to pursue it, let's go to bed early, there may be something to do tomorrow." ”
But who knew that this usually ordinary act caused "Zhou Cang" to be jealous and dissatisfied, and pushed Yun Ya'er to the ground with his hands outstretched, and shouted: "You little thief, you want to be lighter than me, I am afraid that I have forgotten the lessons of the previous few times?" ”
This movement shocked Yun Ya'er, why did this familiar words come from Zhou Cang's mouth, and he didn't care about getting up from the ground, so he looked up, but what caught his eye was Chu Que's playful face. Now I was really sleepy, cold sweat broke out, and I hurriedly waved my hand to explain, "No, no! It's not like that, I was mistaken! Listen to me! ”
"Phew! Hear you? Your mouth has never said anything good except rhetoric. If I believe in you again today, I'm afraid I will really lose my reputation! Chu Que refused to give in at all, and was still aggressive, but this time he didn't piggyback on his fists and feet, "I'm waiting here, I have something important to ask, but I'm afraid that if I think too much, I should have seen your true nature a long time ago." I'll spare your life today, you can do it yourself, and don't see each other again in the future. After saying that, he turned around and made a gesture of leaving, but his movements were a little slow.
Yun Ya'er hurriedly crawled with a roll, chased forward, stopped him at the mouth of the tent, and wanted to pull his legs, but suddenly withdrew his hand, looking at the other party with only one eye, not knowing how to explain.
