Chapter 105 Boss, spare your life!
When he learned that Cao Jun appeared outside Chenliu City, Zhang Yan didn't care at all, he had millions of people, and he had a strong city to rely on, whether it was in terms of troops or geography, he had a great advantage, and if he really wanted to go to war, he would not suffer; Especially in offensive and defensive battles, it is guaranteed that the opponent's armor will not return!
It's just to take a step back and say that he really suffered a defeat, that's nothing, it's a big deal, he will lead the crowd to break through and go away, just with the more than 30,000 horses on the other side, I don't believe that I can stop my million army, even if I trample on you!
Therefore, Zhang Yan did not particularly care about the arrival of Cao Jun, but concentrated on dealing with internal affairs, although Guan Hai died, there were still a large number of remnants of the party, and he took this opportunity to 'click' these people and replace them with his own henchmen, so that he could command the army more handy in the future!
Zhang Yan was busy installing henchmen, the rest of the leaders were busy snatching beauties, and the ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers were busy looting property, no one had the heart to take a look outside Chen Liucheng, and they should have a good time if they won the battle, so the entire Yellow Turban Army of Chen Liu fell into a carnival, for those of them who have today and no tomorrow, the happiness at the moment is the most important, now there is wine and women, when is not drunk at this time?
Early the next morning, at the head of Chen Liucheng, a small soldier of the Yellow Turban Army who woke up from a hangover accidentally glanced out, and he was surprised to find that overnight, a city wall suddenly appeared outside the city, and it was crystal clear, reflecting dazzling light in the winter sun, just like a crystal wall!
"I drank too much yesterday, I haven't woken up yet, have I?" Xiao Bing slapped his face twice, it hurt, and his cheeks swelled quickly, not a dream!
"Oh no! The gods have descended...... Walls...... Crystal City ......"
It turned out that after Cao Jun arrived outside Chen Liucheng, according to Guo Jia's strategy, he transported soil and water overnight, took advantage of the cold weather, and began to pour water to build the city, 30,000 soldiers, and more than 20,000 prisoners were all mobilized, and the generals of Cao Ying also had a bucket in their hands, even Xiao Yi was not included, they were all desperate!
A layer of sand, a layer of water, another layer of sand, another layer ......of water, in the cold temperatures, this mixture of mud and water quickly solidified into a wall, and it was indestructible, and in order to speed up, the soldiers brought everything they could find, sand, gravel, logs, hay......
No matter what kind of filling, as long as you put it there, and pour a few buckets of water, it will soon freeze into an ice wall, just like that, at dawn, an ice wall two feet high, more than one zhang thick appeared outside Chen Liucheng, and it is still constantly increasing and thickening, and there is a posture of not trapping all the people inside to death, and vowing not to give up!
When Zhang Yan climbed up to the top of the city with a group of big and small leaders to watch, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them. Many leaders knelt on the ground in shock and kowtowed desperately, thinking that it was the city wall that the Yellow Turban Lux had descended from the earth and moved from the sky, otherwise he couldn't make sense for any other reason, a miracle, an absolute miracle!
"Boss, worthy of being the boss, really smart!" Holding the city wall in his hand, Zhang Yan's face was uncertain, he could come up with this kind of unpredictable means, and he was Xiao Yi, even if it wasn't him, he would definitely have a lot to do with him, but since the boss made a move, he had to continue, "Come on, gather all the leaders for me, and discuss the matter!" ”
All the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army have been dragged out of the gentle township, it is a matter of life and death, no one has the heart to have fun, everyone works together, there is only one issue, what should I do, is it to stick to it? Or break out!
The council was in session for a whole day and a night, and there was a quarrel for a day and a night; Everyone clearly understands that if you want to survive, there is only one way to go, and that is to break through, but how to break through, who will fight the vanguard, who will come to the palace, but they are quarrelling!
Breaking through is completely different from attacking the city, many leaders are rushing to fight the vanguard, in order to be the first to break in, so that they can grab the most things, but to break through, that is to use their own lives to give others a way out of the way, look at the ice wall outside, it is indestructible, and smooth, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers on it, how many lives do you have to fill it?
There is no clear hierarchy in the Yellow Turban Army, and the leaders of each family rely on their own strength, even Zhang Yan is also because he has the most troops under his command and his own skills, so he becomes the big leader.
When the time comes, you don't have to do anything else, it is estimated that these brothers sitting here will have all the scum you eat and swallow up friendly forces, but it is a good show often staged in the Yellow Turban Army!
Therefore, there are endless quarrels at the meeting, and they all want others to be cannon fodder, and they themselves sit back and enjoy the results!
"Leader Sun, the soldiers under your command are well-fed and the most sophisticated ordnance, and the position of this vanguard belongs to you!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, the king leader is strong in martial arts, and a ghost-headed broadsword is invincible, so it's most suitable for you to fight the vanguard!"
"Hey! The heroes don't mention the courage of the year! Isn't my brother kidney-deficient recently, not to mention the wheel knife cutting people, it's a woman's ......, no, even the war horse can't ride it......"
"Do you want the big boss to be the vanguard to break through?" Someone asked tentatively, in terms of military strength, Zhang Yan has the most, in terms of martial arts, Zhang Yan has a three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand is also the champion of the three armies, and he will break through the vanguard, it is estimated that everyone still has a few chances of winning!
"You're looking for death, aren't you? It is estimated that the big leader will cut off your head first to sacrifice the flag! ”
"Hey! That's too! "Human nature is selfish, and the big leader is also preserving his strength!
………………
In this way, the Yellow Turban Army has been pulling the skin for three days in a row, and the result is that they have not chosen who will be the vanguard, and in these three days, Sergeant Cao continued to pour the ice wall, and now it is more than three zhang high, more than two zhang thick, and when the Yellow Turban Army reacts, it can't rush out even if it wants to!
Now, not only the leaders, even Zhang Yan is a little panicked, the million army is besieged in Chen Liucheng, the daily consumption is huge, if the Cao army is really determined to besiege it, they will either die in battle, or starve to death, and finally everyone agreed, break through, the soldiers are divided into multiple roads, each running its own way, see who has a big life!
"Kill! …… Rush out of the way! "The tragic breakout battle began, the Yellow Turban Army is still the old rule, with refugees as the vanguard, with rudimentary weapons to impact the Cao Army's defense line, but unfortunately, when they rushed to the ice wall at a heavy price under the dense rain of arrows, they were at a loss, unlike the uneven city wall, the ice wall was extremely smooth, there was no point of strength at all, the ladder was put up, there was no need for Cao Jun to push at all, they would slip, and many Yellow Turban soldiers fell like this......
Seeing that the wooden ladder was useless, the Yellow Turban Army began to change their tactics, and in a group of more than a dozen people, they began to hit the ice wall frantically with the bumping wood, hoping to hit a way out!
Cao Jun had already prepared for this, while shooting the Yellow Turban Army with a bow and arrow, while continuing to pour water on the ice wall, finally hitting a little gap, a few ice water splashed on it immediately restored as before, some unscrupulous Cao Jun did not even shoot arrows, but directly poured water on the head of the Yellow Turban Army, the ice water soaked and washed clothes, the north wind blew, the cold penetrated the bone marrow, and many people became transparent ice sculptures like this......
After a day and a night of offensive and defensive battles, in addition to leaving tens of thousands of corpses, the Yellow Turban Army found nothing, and the few openings that were finally broken through were also blocked by Cao Jun's ice water, under the threat of death, no matter how these leaders urged, the refugees refused to break through again, although they knew that being trapped here was also death, but it was better to die late than early, just like that, another three or four days passed, and Zhang Yan suddenly found that he was running out of food in his hands!
Millions of refugees, the food they eat every day is an astronomical amount, they used to march all the way, plunder all the way, eat wherever they go, never stay in one place for more than ten days, not because they don't want to, but they can't, there is no fixed rear base to supply food and grass, this is the biggest weakness of the rogue!
If you can't rush out, the food and grass will be exhausted, how can it be good?
"Come on, pen and ink are waiting!" Zhang Yan sighed, he was a bad move, and now if he wants to survive, he can only write a letter to Xiao Yi, hoping that he can read the incense in the small Taoist temple at the beginning, and let himself go!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"You are Zhang Yan's messenger?" Late at night, outside Chen Liucheng, in the camp of the Xuanjia Army, Xiao Yi was meeting a messenger of the Yellow Turban Army, a yellow mouse with an obscene face, when he was in the Crouching Tiger Pavilion, he also gave Xiao Yi two war horses, but he didn't expect that after a few years, the two met again!
"The villain has seen General Xiao, this is a letter from the big leader of my family, and I hope that the general will let us live for the sake of the first acquaintance!"
The yellow squirrel is also a lot of emotion, the kind and lovely little Taoist priest back then, has now become an iron-blooded and murderous general, the name of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', even in the Yellow Turban Army, it is also the existence that can stop children crying at night, fate, it is really magical!
"Let him live?"
Looking at Chen Liucheng not far away, Xiao Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Zhang Yan, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, was the naked boy with a wound that he carried back from the river; After rescuing Zhang Yan back then, the two lived together in a small Taoist temple, ate in a pot, and practiced martial arts together.
"Please, General, be gracious! The chief of my family said that he has saved a lot of money over the years, and he is willing to give it to you as money to buy the road! "The weasel fell to his knees and begged bitterly, which was the opinion of all the Yellow Turban leaders, and now they were willing to give up all their possessions in order to survive!
"Buying road money? Now your life and death are in my hands, and when you kill all of you, the money will naturally be mine, are you going to use my money to bribe me? ”
"This? The villain doesn't dare! "The yellow rat was fooled and confused by Xiao Yi's words, how could all his money become his, but if you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable, kill all the living people, and then take the money, such a thing 'ghost face Xiao Lang' will definitely do it.
"In addition, the big leader of my family also asked the little one to bring you a message!" In desperation, the yellow squirrel had to take out the last hole card.
"Oh, what did Zhang Yan say?"
"Boss, spare your life......"
