Chapter 20: The Thief

Seventy or eighty thousand Yellow Turban soldiers attacked the city, but they didn't know that there were 50,000 officers and soldiers behind them, so careless and negligent, it can be seen that the leader of this Yellow Turban army has little experience in leading troops at all.

For such an opponent, Gao Cheng had no desire to make a personal move, he nodded and said, "Zibu's words are reasonable!"

Then Gao Cheng put his eyes on Jiang Qin, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Qin, I will give you 100 soldiers and 5,000 elites, do you dare to raid the Yellow Turban Army?"

When Jiang Qin heard this, he immediately said: "Why don't you dare? If you can't break this rabble, the villain will come to see you!"

"Okay! If you can break the thief, Gong Yi will be the first merit!" Gao Cheng laughed, and immediately handed over the hundred elite soldiers he brought out from Huai'an to the other party.

The 50,000 troops under his command, due to their short time and simple training, were only as strong as the Yellow Turban soldiers. And these 100 elite soldiers are all brave people who have cultivated the Golden Bell Jar. Everyone is a strong warrior with strong muscles and bones, and he has the strength to be ten in force. If you add the trained military formation means, you can hit the large formation of 3,000 people head-on.

After these months of big fish and hard cultivation, these people have cultivated the first layer of the Golden Bell Jar to the peak, among them there are several Wu Commanders and Shi Chiefs, after testing and observing, after ensuring loyalty, Gao Cheng passed down the first three layers of the Golden Bell Jar. Now they have become samurai with three levels of strength.

Jiang Qin stayed in Huai'an for a while, and he also learned about the strength of the Gao family's soldiers, so when he heard that Gao Cheng handed over a hundred soldiers to him, he was so confident.

He is a master with more than seven layers of training, if he takes these elites, he can't defeat the Yellow Turban Rebellion in a state of mental calculation and unintentionality, how can he still have any face to gain a foothold in front of Gao Cheng?

With the order, Jiang Qin took a hundred soldiers and ordered five thousand elites to rush towards Wuxian, and the speed was very fast.

......

Wuxian, there are dense chaotic soldiers under the city wall, these people wear yellow scarves, their faces are hideous, and they are attached to the siege of the city with ladders and ants, and the county warriors on the city wall tremble with their hands and feet, and under the command of a young man in coarse cloth clothes, they constantly lift the rolling wood and stones and smash down the chaotic soldiers below.

However, the Yellow Turban soldiers under the city did not take human life seriously at all, and no matter how many casualties were in the siege ahead, they still sent a steady stream of soldiers to climb the ladder.

"Baojian! How long do you think we can hold out? The number of these thieves is seventy or eighty thousand, in my opinion, why don't we abandon the city and break through? We have been defending for a month, and the county Yong has suffered heavy casualties and has reached the limit, and even the county commander was killed by an arrow, even if we break through, the assassin will not blame!"

The person who spoke was a young man in a county costume, he carefully hid behind two shields, and whispered to the young man in rough clothes. His expression was panicked, but he was wearing an official uniform but did not have the slightest momentum, giving people a feeling of being crowned by a monkey.

The young man in coarse clothes, simple clothes, but good looks, with a righteous air in his gestures, he constantly issued orders, commanding the county to defend the city, no one obeyed.

"No! Once we abandon the city and break through, the hundreds of thousands of people in the city will be finished! And if we break through and have no city wall as a barrier, if we encounter the Yellow Turban rebels, won't we kill ourselves?"

When this rough-clothed young man heard what the county said, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly dissuaded.

Hearing this, the county man sighed, "But with the Yellow Turban thieves constantly attacking the city, we won't be able to last long!

"Brother, rest assured, Pengcheng is the seat of Xuzhou, and the assassin will definitely not sit idly by. As long as we hold out for two more days, reinforcements will come!" comforted the coarsely clothed youth.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a cheer from the county warrior on the city wall, and one of them, the leader of the county warrior, cried with joy, turned to the two and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming! It's the reinforcements from the assassin who are coming!"

The county man and the rough-clothed young man were shocked, and hurriedly came to the battlements to look down, only to see a group of officers and soldiers rushing from a distance, directly from the rear of these Yellow Turban soldiers, led by a big man, holding a horse chopping knife in the Yellow Turban soldiers back and forth, roaring again and again, the knife light is incomparably sharp, rampage, as if entering a no-man's land.

"What a fierce general! I still have such a general in Xuzhou, why haven't I heard of it before?" The county man who called himself Chen Guan slapped excitedly on the battlements.

The coarse-clothed young man's eyes lit up at this time, and he hurriedly said: "Brother, good opportunity, open the city gate quickly, we will take the county warriors and reinforcements to attack inside and outside, and the yellow scarves will be defeated!"

Chen Guanneng became a county leader at such an age, and he was also born in a family, and he had a decision that is rare for ordinary people, and when he saw this situation, he immediately agreed to the other party's suggestion.

Boom! The city gate of Wuxian County opened, and the morale of thousands of county warriors stimulated by the news of the arrival of reinforcements soared, and after the city gate was opened, they immediately rushed out with a roar, like a mad tiger, and immediately killed the Yellow Turban soldiers who were attacking the city and retreated one after another.

At this time, there was a sudden panicked shout from the Yellow Turban army outside.

"Qu Shuai was killed!"

"Defeated! Defeated! Run!"

The seventy or eighty thousand Yellow Turban army was originally a rabble, and when the siege was unfavorable, the morale continued to decline, and at this time, when they heard that Qu Shuai was killed, whether the news was true or not, these people subconsciously ran backwards. The entire army suddenly collapsed.

When Gao Cheng and Zhang Zhao came to Wuxian with the remaining army of more than 40,000 people. The battle was over, Jiang Qin took 3,000 soldiers to guard more than 30,000 prisoners, and the other 2,000 soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.

"General, the villain is fortunate not to be dishonored! 80,000 yellow turbans have been defeated!" Jiang Qin saw the army coming, and hurriedly came to pay respects. Report on the results of the battle just now.

Pei Yuanshao, who was not far from Gao Cheng's side, couldn't help but pout, if Gongzi asked him to lead the troops, he would have such a record.

At this time, two young men walked quickly, led by the young man dressed in the county costume, after seeing Gao Cheng and Zhang Zhao, he immediately bowed and said: "Wuxian County Cheng Chen Guan, meet the general! Thank you to the general for coming to the rescue and saving the people of the whole city from being fired!"

When Gao Cheng and Zhang Zhao walked over to each other, they had already turned over and dismounted, and they also arched their hands. said: "Chen Xiancheng doesn't have to be polite, I will come when I am ordered, and I don't dare to take credit!"

The coarse-clothed young man next to him seemed to have something to say, and after waiting for everyone to greet him for a while, he stepped forward and bowed down and said: "General Qiyu, now there are millions of yellow turbans in Pengcheng Kingdom, after the rout of this yellow turban outside the city, other yellow turban soldiers will definitely come to help, please be careful!"

Chen Guan was reminded by this sentence, and hurriedly nodded, and said: "Yes, I heard that the Steroid Hill has been captured by the Yellow Turban Bandits, if they know the news, they will definitely send a large army to come!"

Gao Cheng nodded, before he led the army to set off, he had already received news from Mi Zhu that the millions of Yellow Turbans in Pengcheng, in addition to the hundreds of thousands gathered in Pengcheng, other Yellow Turban soldiers scattered to attack the city, among which Wuyuan County and Liuxian County in the north had been broken and became the gathering point of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. And Yongqiu County, in the south of Pengcheng State, also fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban. Of the eight cities in Pengchengguo, only five remain.

After receiving the news of the defeat of Wuxian, the Yellow Turban of Yongqiu will definitely send troops again.

Gao Cheng noticed that this coarsely clothed young man had an extraordinary bearing, with a three-level cultivation of strength, and he seemed to have some ability. "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"

The coarse-clothed young man hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Xu Xuan in Xia Guangling, the word Baojian, I have seen General Gao!"
