Chapter 67: Seeing Death and Not Saving
Zhang Yu arranged everything and gave Zhang Zhao 3,000 men, which was enough to deal with the emergency situation in the county.
And Zhang Yu took Ling Cao and Xi Zhicai to lead 5,000 soldiers to kill the Yellow Turban.
The five thousand soldiers were now fully loaded, and there were a thousand archers among them.
This is all exchanged by Zhang Yu for points, and they are all equipped with weapons and equipment, weapons and armor.
It's a completely heavily armed and well-trained army.
"If only there were war horses." Looking at the army rushing ahead, Zhang Yu sighed a little, there were only more than 100 war horses in their entire army, except for a few generals, all the rest were given to scouts.
There is a shortage of war horses in the south, and Zhang Yu can't get many war horses for the time being.
Along the way, Zhang Yu could see that there were homeless people running around in a hurry, as well as the bones of the uncold on the road.
No one knows how many tragedies this catastrophe has caused.
Zhang Yu and the others walked northwest, intending to kill the Yingchuan area.
The yellow scarves in Yingchuan and Runan are very large, and they almost hit Luoyang at one point.
At this time, the official army had not yet reacted, and when the Yellow Turban was at its peak, even the emperor had not yet issued an order to suppress bandits in all parts of the world.
Zhang Yu went all the way to the northwest and killed a lot of scattered yellow turbans along the way, allowing him to gain a lot of points.
"Zhicai, you are waiting for peace, spreading news along the road, saying that you can survive when you arrive in Huiji County, and send someone to inform Zhang Zhao and ask him to make every effort to arrange these homeless people."
The exile is a large amount of wealth, and perhaps no one realizes it now, but it will feel like a burden, but in the era of the princes, the exile is a very important strategic resource.
Since Zhang Yu knew, of course, he would snatch these strategic resources before everyone could react.
"My lord, although we will have a large and sparsely populated county, the county has limited funds and food, so we can't arrange too many displaced people." Xi Zhicai said after listening.
Of course, Zhang Yu knew that relying on the finances of Huiji County alone, it wouldn't take long for them to be dragged down.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before I can solve the problem of money and food, and the money and food in the county can support it for a while."
Zhang Yu's backhand is, of course, the system, which can be exchanged for basic resources such as money and food infinitely, as long as the points are enough.
Zhang Yu exchanged for materials, and no one thought it was strange, maybe it was the function of the system, and everyone felt that it was natural.
"Yes, my lord." Xi Zhicai did not hesitate and immediately arranged it.
After walking for a few more days, Zhang Yu eliminated several strands of yellow turbans, and the points had reached fifteen thousand.
"Lord, we can arrive at Lujiang City after dark, do you want to go into the city to rest." Ling Cao asked.
"Okay, after more than ten days of travel, everyone is tired, so it's good to take a rest." Zhang Yu said.
In fact, the soldiers were not very tired, they did not experience much fighting along the way, and the marching speed was not fast.
The reason for the unhappiness was that Zhang Yu was deliberately so slow.
Because at this time, Emperor Liu Hongdu had not yet issued an order to suppress bandits, and Zhang Yu had already sent troops.
This is simply unreasonable from a legal point of view, if someone takes advantage of this to make a living, Zhang Yu will have to bribe Zhang Rang and others.
According to Zhang Yu's estimate, it will be a few days before this holy decree is issued.
However, Zhang Yu can't care so much, he has points for destroying the yellow scarf, if he doesn't grab people's heads at this time, when will he rob them.
Zhang Yu and they moved in the direction of Lujiang City.
Lujiang City is actually not called Lujiang City, but the Anhui City of Lujiang County.
"Report, lord, a large number of yellow turbans have been found ahead, and they are attacking Anhui City." The soldier in front came to report.
Originally, Zhang Yu and the others were going to rest in Anhui City, but they didn't expect that this Anhui City had been surrounded by yellow scarves.
"Find out the situation quickly." Without more specific information, Zhang Yu planned to stay put.
Zhang Yu ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot and wait for more information to come from the front.
Soon wave after wave of scouts gathered more detailed information.
"Lord, there are currently more than 20,000 yellow turbans attacking Anhui City day and night, and it has been more than ten days, according to current estimates, it won't last long." Xi Zhicai said.
Zhang Yu looked into the distance, and after a long time, he said: "Hold your arms and wait and see what happens." ”
If Zhang Yu sent troops to attack from the rear, this yellow turban could be eliminated quickly, at least they could be killed and relieved of the danger of the siege.
After some struggle, Ran Zhangyu chose not to save him.
Xi Zhicai and Ling Cao didn't say anything, Zhang Yu made a decision, so they had to resolutely implement it.
After a night, Zhang Yu and the others were rested, and the army returned to good condition.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yu called Xi Zhicai and Ling Cao.
"Zhicai, Ling Cao, Anhui City will not last long, according to the estimate, today or tomorrow will be broken, although I do not want to rescue immediately, but it is not that I will not be saved, we will attack from the rear when the city is broken, so as to minimize the loss."
Xi Zhicai and Ling Cao expressed their understanding, Zhang Yu and they don't have a lot of soldiers and horses, so they should be careful.
Zhang Yu secretly moved their army to a mountain col eight miles away from Anhui City and hid it.
At this time, Anhui City has been besieged by the yellow scarves for more than ten days, and the yellow scarves have been wave after wave, and they can easily cope with it at first, but after five or six days, the yellow scarves in the surrounding counties have surrounded the county town.
In this way, they held out for a few more days, but now, it was difficult to hold on, and the city was about to be destroyed.
Seeing that the resistance of the city was weakening, the morale of the Yellow Turbans was high.
"Quick, rush, rush me."
"After the city is broken, there will be food."
The leader of the Yellow Turban shouted loudly, directing the Yellow Turban to launch wave after wave, non-stop attack.
There were only a few hundred men left on the head of the city to defend, and it was very difficult.
It was another tragic battle, and by the evening, the yellow turbans had already climbed up to the top of the city.
The people in the city were panicked, and many families had escaped before, and the families who had not escaped from the city had sent some of them to the city to resist, and at this time they closed the courtyard gate to make the last resistance.
Finally, the walls could not resist the Yellow Turban, and the gates were opened.
"Kill, kill."
The moment the city gates opened, all the yellow scarves were excited.
It was just dark, and under this darkness, I don't know how many sins were hidden.
"Report, the city of Anhui is broken."
"Report, the city of Anhui is broken."
The scout hurried and shouted, wanting to report the information to Zhang Yu as soon as possible.
"The whole army is leaving." With a wave of Zhang Yu's hand, the army was ready, and it was quickly assembled, and then set off.
Zhang Yu chose to attack the Yellow Turban when the city was broken, with several purposes.
The first is to make these yellow turbans have nowhere to escape, you must know that a yellow turban head is at least one point.
Second, after the yellow turbans enter the city, they will inevitably disperse, and it will be much easier to deal with when the time comes.
Although the combat power of the Yellow Turban is not good, if there are too many of them, Zhang Yu and them will fight, and their damage will be greater.
There is also a third, that is, Zhang Yu has selfish intentions, these yellow turbans took a lot of property from other counties, blocked them in the city, and all the seizures are their own, if they are put in the wild, it will be very difficult to collect.
