Night gradually fell, He Yi finally did not choose to attack the city, although He Man had already made a batch of siege ladders by cutting wood, but He Yi still felt that the preparation was not sufficient at the moment, he was ready to rest for the night, and then start attacking the city early tomorrow morning.

During the day, He Man led people to loot all the places within a radius of a hundred miles of Ruyin, but the grain and grass obtained were limited, and the result was that around Ruyin, including several cities, a large number of people began to flee with their families.

It's just that this little grain and grass added up to only enough for the army for three or five days, and for the first time, He Yi felt that a large number of people was not a good thing.

Compared with He Yi, Ye Zhao was much more relaxed after nightfall, after nightfall, his vision was blocked, Ye Zhao ordered people to carry torches to walk back and forth on the city wall, making a well-guarded posture, and the soldiers in the front row were also replaced by straw men, and after arranging the defense, Ye Zhao returned to the county government with a little fatigue to rest.

did not launch an attack during the day, it can be seen that He Yi has been frightened by himself, with the level of the Yellow Turban Army, the probability of attacking at night will be smaller, Ye Zhao must take this opportunity to rest, the next three days will be the key, during the day he must personally stare at it, and gain insight into the enemy's actions at any time to make the most correct judgment.

The night sky was noisy, and the light spread around the city, and there were no rules scattered on the surrounding wilderness, and there were Yellow Turban soldiers pulling carts to distribute food to the soldiers who had been staying for a day.

After the Yellow Turban Army with chicken thieves was full here, they slipped to the other side and continued to wait, and in the dark night, the sound of quarrels could be heard from time to time, and even many hungry and short-tempered people directly began to do it, making the silent night no longer peaceful.

He Yi sat in the makeshift camp, and from time to time he could hear the shouting and fighting sounds from outside, and he grabbed a handful of meat pieces from the clay pot and stuffed them into his mouth in an irritated heart, chewing them fiercely.

Beside him, He Man and several other major generals sat next to He Yi, eating with their heads bored, and no matter how short of food, these people couldn't go hungry.

"Qu Shuai, why don't we sneak attack at night?" A yellow turban general swallowed the food in his mouth, seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, he subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to break the heaviness.

"Okay, you go." He Yi didn't raise his head and said, it's okay to fight during the day, but at night, once the troops are mobilized, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will take advantage of the chaos to escape, and now in Ruyin City, the number of officers and soldiers seems to be quite large, and if it really starts, He Yi has no bottom in his heart.

"But it's not a way to go on like this?" He Man leaned against the pillar of the tent and frowned: "It's really not good, let's withdraw first, Shouchun is also a big city, why don't we go over there?" ”

"Shouchun's grain and grass have all been moved to Ruyin, even if it passes, what will be used to feed so many people?" He Yi said a little depressed, at the beginning he felt that there were too many rich families in Shouchun, and there were many dock forts around that could not be broken until now, and it was too far away from the main gathering place of the Yellow Turban Army, if there was a situation, it was not easy to rescue, so he coerced the people, took the grain and grass and abandoned the city, and let Shouchun be deserted, now that he thinks about it, the decision at that time was really a little too hasty, and he is tired to this day, once something happens, there is no way out.

"Qu Shuai, a lot of brothers outside who haven't been given food have made a fuss!" When several people were sitting together and were relatively silent, a yellow turban general walked in from outside and said with a bitter face.

When He Yi heard this, he had an even more headache: "Didn't they all send food?" Why hasn't anyone sent it, are you deducting it!? ”

"Qu Shuai, how dare we? It was a lot of people who didn't have enough to eat, so they quietly mixed into other teams to eat, and later, everyone rushed to follow suit, and there was so much to eat, and the people in the front were finished, and the people in the back were naturally gone. The Yellow Turban General smiled bitterly.

"These bastards!" He Yi rubbed his head a little distressed, and couldn't think of any good way for a while, but if it goes on like this now, it is easy to cause a mutiny, and after a while, he said hatefully: "Transfer some more food out, and those who have not eaten will get together and distribute it separately." ”

Although it was temporarily solved, the original plan was to eat food for five or six days, but if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it may not be able to hold on for three days, and there may even be surrounding homeless people who hear the news, and at that time, his huge military camp will become a place for soup kitchen.

"Siege tomorrow!" After a long time, He Yi finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, if he continued to be so deadlocked, it would only become more and more unfavorable to himself, the old problem had not been solved, and the new problem came again, He Yi was rarely decisive, and said to everyone: "Hurry up and make some battering rams and ladders, and collect the bows and arrows among the generals, find people who are good at shooting to form an army alone, and give me a fierce suppression of the city wall defenders tomorrow." ”

"Whoa!" He Man and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this, they had long wanted to fight, but He Yi had been timid, and he had to prepare food, and he felt that there were not enough ladders, so he dragged on for a day.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, after Ye Zhao woke up, he only felt refreshed, his physical fitness had been recuperated by drugs for many years, and he was already different from ordinary people, and his spirit was far beyond ordinary people.

"Lord, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city has moved." was about to have breakfast, but saw Dian Wei come in with two iron halberds and said to Ye Zhao.

"Oh?" When Ye Zhao heard this, he put down his meal and stood up and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

May has passed, the weather has begun to become scorching, when Ye Zhao took Dian Wei and others to the city tower, he saw that in the Yellow Turban Army, a cloud ladder was constantly carried to the front of the formation, and the atmosphere also had a slight sense of Xiao killing, as a local commander, He Yi still has some elite in his hands, according to the information collected by Ye Zhao during this time, there is an elite in the Yellow Turban Army called the Yellow Turban Force, the total number is between 20,000 and 30,000, this is Zhang Jiao's hard work for many years, and it is also the strongest combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, these Yellow Turban wrestlers are not concentrated, but are assigned by Zhang Jiao to each Qu Shuai to form soldiers and horses, the number of Yellow Turbans around each Qu Shuai is not necessarily, but the Yellow Turban Army has dozens of Qu Shuai, 20,000 Yellow Turban Wrestlers are divided, and some of them must be retained around Zhang Jiao, and there should not be many Yellow Turban Wrestlers around each Qu Shuai, and the so-called elite is only based on the bandits recruited or brought by each Qu Shuai, and then these people are used as the main pole to expand outward.

He Yi may not feel it, but standing on the city wall, looking at the Yellow Turban Army in operation, Ye Zhao feels like a bloated machine is running hard, just looking at it, I feel tired, obviously He Yi, as the commander, can not command the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command like an arm, this is a common problem of the Yellow Turban Army, Liang Fa in the past is like this, Bocai is better, and it is also relying on the generals around him to operate, although He Yi is also Qu Shuai, but obviously does not have the ability of Bocai, and the available generals under his command are not as many as Bocai, Therefore, what was presented in front of Ye Zhao was such a bloated lineup.

It was as if a big fat man with a fat body was struggling to move forward, and a quarter of an hour after Ye Zhao went to the city, the Yellow Turban Army officially launched a charge.

"Use these straw men to attract clusters of thieves' arrows, the archers are behind, the shield men are responsible for protecting the archers in the rear, and when the enemy army is halfway within range, the archers will start attacking!" After watching the formation of the thief army, Ye Zhao quickly made a deployment, although the Yellow Turban Army is vulnerable, but the number is really placed here, one blow, it is also the most ferocious time for the Yellow Turban, as long as this wave is repelled, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army is discharged, there is nothing to be afraid of, but there is a little regret that he failed to suppress He Yi for three days, otherwise, after three days, when the patience of the Yellow Turban Army is exhausted, there is no need for him to attack the city, Ye Zhao will also take the initiative to attack, and then it will be a real tailwind battle.

The Yellow Turban Army finally began to charge, in one go, the momentum of this first wave of attack is still very strong, last night He Yi has fed these Yellow Turban Army, as long as they can break through the city wall today, He Yi has promised to let them loot in Ruyin for three days, it is precisely because of this that these Yellow Turban Army will be so excited.

Ruyin was able to be He Yi's base camp before, and most of the rich people in the city were friends with the Taiping Sect, and He Yi did not allow them to move these people before, but now that He Yi is ready to give up Ruyin, these rich people will naturally lose their value and will no longer be blessed by He Yi.

The rain of arrows that broke through the sky fell on the city, but the counterattack of the officers and soldiers had not yet begun, and He Yi, who was commanding the operation, gradually discovered that something was wrong, the troops had rushed halfway, but the officers and soldiers only endured it, and did not counterattack, and what happened to those soldiers at the head of the city? It was already full of arrows, but none of them fell.

At this moment, no matter how stupid He Yi is, he can see the clues, this group of officers and soldiers is simply bluffing, and their strength is not as strong as they appear.

"Rush up, kill me, I'm going to twist off that dog official's head with my own hands!" After understanding that he was being played, Rao is He Yi has always been cautious, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little dry, and he directly issued the order for a general attack in a hurry, and the mighty Yellow Turban Army rushed to the city wall like a stormy wave, and at the same time, Ye Zhao in the city finally began to counterattack.

On the city wall, which had been silent, a gong suddenly sounded, and immediately after, a rain of arrows rising like dark clouds fell like a storm towards the already slack-hearted Yellow Turban Army.

The sound of blood, wailing, and crying resounded in the wilderness for a while, and the battlefield at this moment had a little bit of what the battlefield should look like, even Ye Zhao didn't expect that He Yi would suddenly be furious and then give the order for a general attack, so that his first round of arrow rain achieved an unexpected miraculous effect
