Chapter 146: The Lonely City is Hard to Defend

The north wind is howling, the clouds are dense, a blizzard falls on the land of the Central Plains, three days and three nights, endlessly, the snow on the flat ground is more than four feet deep, no one knees, the carriages and horses are difficult to travel, the temperature is even more plummeting, countless birds and beasts are frozen to death, as far as the eye can see, mountains, rivers, cities, villages and towns, all dyed into silver and white, the ice and snow world, all things are killed!

On Julu City, Zhang Yan wore a thick cloak, held the Qingfeng sword, led a team of henchmen and guards, stepped on the snow, walked slowly, and was inspecting the city defense, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he sighed repeatedly in his heart with four words - "The lonely city is difficult to defend!" ”

He tried his best, held high the banner of 'General Tiangong', coerced hundreds of thousands of horses, captured the city, killed officials, and was unstoppable along the way, seeing that he was about to enter Yecheng and establish a Yellow Turban Empire, that knew that the will of heaven was unpredictable, the 'Yak Array' was born, and the Yellow Turban Divine Soldiers were broken, and after a fierce battle, tens of thousands of people and horses were lost, and the rest were trapped in the lonely city, demoralization was low, food and grass were cut off, and their dreams were shattered!

It's really not as good as the sky, but there is one thing Zhang Yan can't figure out, he has fought with Yuan Jun many times, and he knows very well what the skills of those generals are, such a big killing weapon as the 'Yak Array' is definitely not something they can come up with, there must be a master behind it, who is this person, it is really an unpredictable means!

Because of the heavy snowfall in the sky and the difficulty of the road, the Yuan army did not rush to attack the city, but dug three trenches outside the city, one zhang deep, three zhang wide, inserted wooden thorns under the bottom, built a barrier on the top, and the soldiers continued to patrol back and forth, completely besieging the giant deer city, and the people inside could not escape!

"The copper wall is ironclad, surrounded on all sides, and in such a desperate situation, even if the soldier saint Sun Wu is resurrected, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through, the gods are not blessed, and the sky will destroy the yellow scarf!"

After checking the half-ring, Zhang Yan shook his head in disappointment, in order to find a way to survive, he sent people to break through several times, but the result was heavy casualties, none of them succeeded, the defense line of the Yuan army was like an iron wall, and it was difficult for people and horses to cross!

"General Qiyu, the soldiers of the left and right battalions fought again in order to compete for grain and grass, and the commanders couldn't suppress it, and many people were killed and wounded...... Generals please...... Poof! ”

A Yellow Turban soldier ran up to the city, covered in blood, and before he could finish his speech, he fell to the ground and fell into a complete coma!

"Come on, carry him down for healing, pour a few mouthfuls of rice soup, you must save him!"

Zhang Yan stepped forward to take a look, and now the pro-soldier passed out in a coma, not because he was too injured, but because he had no food in his abdomen, and he fainted from hunger, which was also the biggest difficulty faced by the Yellow Turban Army - the food and grass were cut off, and the people's hearts were floating!

The Yellow Turban Army has no stable base area, and there is no logistical support, go there, eat there, hundreds of thousands of troops are like locusts, after capturing a city, they will be exhausted in about half a month, they can only fight on the move, continue to plunder grain and grass, once they stay, they will fend for themselves!

The army has been trapped in the city of giant deer for more than a month, the grain and grass in the city have long been exhausted, and they can only kill horses for food, barely surviving, but the wolves have more meat and less meat, and the distribution is difficult to be even, in order to compete for food, the battalions have fought hard, and they have been fighting several times, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will cause a large-scale mutiny!

The situation is urgent, it must be dealt with immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up, Zhang Yan rode a blue-maned horse, led a group of henchmen and guards, and ran towards the troublesome camp......

"Kill! --Let's either starve to death, or hack to death, fight with them! ”

"Rush! --Early death and early reincarnation, hacking to death, is better than starvation......"

…………………………………………

In Julu City, a fierce battle is underway, both sides are men with yellow scarves on their heads, wielding knives and guns one by one, fighting for their lives, more fierce than dealing with the officers and soldiers, and the comrades who cherish the day have now become the enemies of life and death, and the reason is very simple - food!

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, the daily consumption is very great, the food in the city has been eaten, and there are few horses left, under the persecution of hunger, human nature is annihilated, animal nature is large, in order to snatch a mouthful of food, the soldiers do not hesitate to draw their swords to each other, fight to the death, and even devour each other, and wrap their stomachs with human flesh!

To deal with the rebels, good words and persuasion are useless, they will only fuel their arrogance, and it is useless to order them to disarm, but it will coerce more people, and the only way is to cut through the mess with a quick knife - kill!

"Disobey military orders, the crime deserves death, the archers are ready, shoot all the troublemakers - release!"

Zhang Yan transferred a large number of archers, an order, ten thousand arrows, the rebellious soldiers fell down in pieces, the dead bodies piled up, the blood flowed like a river, the sound of wailing, endlessly, and then the soldiers held white blades, began to clean up the battlefield, all those who did not lose their breath, one by one to mend the knife, not a single left!

"The general spares his life! --The little ones don't dare anymore! ”

"Forgiveness from the General! --The little ones are just for a bite! ”

……………………………………

People's hearts are like iron, military law is like a furnace, in the face of ruthless killing, the soldiers threw away their blades, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they fought with knives, in order to seek a way to live, not to send them to death, besides, so many corpses on the ground are enough for everyone to have a full meal, there is no need to make trouble anymore!

"The previous battle was just a small setback, Huang Tian blessed, our army will be able to turn defeat into victory and fight a way out...... There is a shortage of food in the city, and the general is willing to kill the mounts and let the brothers drink a sip of broth! ”

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, killing alone was not enough, Zhang Yan stepped forward, reassured everyone with kind words, and then pulled out his sword and stabbed his mount in the chest with a backhand......

"Brush! --Boom! Phew! ”

The sword was drawn, the blood was rushing, the blue-maned horse screamed and fell to the ground, and the soldiers immediately pounced, cut the horse's flesh together, and then set up an iron pot to boil the broth for the hungry soldiers!

"I will not surrender to the death, and I am willing to fight with the general to the end!"

"I will not surrender to the death, and I am willing to fight with the general to the end!"

………………………………

The main general, who commanded hundreds of thousands of horses, was willing to kill his mount and boil broth for ordinary soldiers, although each person could not drink an average sip, but the mind was rare, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another, cursing and vowing that they were willing to follow the general and fight with the officers and soldiers to the end, and never surrender!

Relying on his iron and bloody skills and buying people's hearts, Zhang Yan temporarily quelled the mutiny, but he knew very well in his heart that this method would cure the symptoms but not the root cause, if he couldn't break out of the encirclement, it would not take a few days for the hungry soldiers to mutini again, and no one would be able to return to heaven at that time!

"Order the leaders of all departments to come to the city lord's mansion to discuss the matter of the army's breakthrough, and if they can't get food, these hungry soldiers will rebel!"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Julu City - City Lord's Mansion - Lobby!

After getting the news, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army came to discuss the matter one after another, and soon the hall was full, a total of hundreds of people, these people were dressed in disorderly clothes, had vulgar etiquette, and were a standard rabble!

The origin of the Yellow Turban Army is very messy, there are both Taiping Dao believers, there are thieves who occupy the mountains as kings, and careerists ...... who fish in troubled waters, they defected to Zhang Yan's command, and wanted to use the banner of the 'Yellow Turban Army' to achieve their own goals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the grain and grass are exhausted, the lonely city is difficult to defend, if we don't break out, I will have no place to be buried when I die, what is the best strategy, please come on, as long as you can rush out of a way to live, this general will have a heavy reward!"

Zhang Yan was in charge of presiding over the meeting, looking at everyone's eyes, but he was full of contempt, he looked down on these rabble at all, but there was no way, he was just reluctant to be false and wrong!

"After a fierce battle, our army has suffered heavy losses, and it is impossible to go south to Yecheng, it is better to break through to the east to Qingzhou, where the city is rich and the population is large, it is a good place for us to show our talents!"

An old man stood up from the front row, in his fifties, wearing a seven-star Taoist robe, holding floating dust, and looking like a fairy wind dao bone, who was the second leader of the Yellow Turban Army - Dale Daoren!

Dale Dao is the patriarch of the Yellow Turban Army, who rebelled with Zhang Jiao, and then the uprising failed, so he hid in the Qingzhou area, taught disciples, recruited believers, and waited for the opportunity.

However, Dale Dao people are ambitious, and they have always wanted to become the 'Tiangong General', but they are afraid of Zhang Yan's bravery, and they have never dared to make a move.

"The Great Joy Immortal Master is reasonable, but Qingzhou is a good place to go, it is better to ask the Immortal Chief to dispatch troops, and we are willing to listen to the order!"

"Qingzhou is far away, the road is difficult, let's go back to Zhongshan County, continue to be the king of the mountain, forget it, at ease, isn't it beautiful!"

"What is the future of falling grass for Kou, in my opinion, it is better to break through to the west, join up with the Chishui Yellow Turban, and then fight to the death with the official army!"

………………………………………………

As soon as the proposal of the Dale Dao people came out, many leaders reacted strongly, some supported, some opposed, noisy, and chaotic!

Zhang Yan sat on the main seat, bowed his head and said nothing, no matter where he broke through, he must break the iron wall of Yuan Jun, otherwise everything is not to be discussed, who has such skills? …… I can't do it myself, and I can't do it with everyone here!

"General Qiyu, there is an old man visiting outside the door!"

While he was pondering, a soldier ran in, whispered a few words in his ear, and then handed over a note with eight words on it - 'The boss is here, the younger brother is not worried!' ’

"How did the boss come to Julu City...... Come on, the middle door is wide open, and music is played in the two corridors to welcome the VIPs! ”

After reading the note, Zhang Yan looked surprised, quickly stood up, tidied up his armor, and walked out of the door with a large group of guards - "The killing god is coming, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!" ”
