Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Yellow Turban Strikes
On an inconspicuous high slope outside Chao County, dense trees sway in the wind, and patches of withered yellow fallen leaves fall with them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Hao waved the sword in his hand, and his heart was filled with joy. I never thought that the first saber in my life was actually snatched from the hands of thugs. At this time, a fallen leaf fell from in front of you, and with a wave of your hand, the fallen leaf instantly turned into two halves.
Since saying goodbye to his uncle Wu Ji yesterday, he has returned to the house to look at the sword up and down, and look around at the sword book. I opened my eyes in the early morning and sneaked over wearing a sword.
The shadow of the sword is heavy, if it is seen from a distance, it is still a little imposing, but if it is seen from a close distance, it is full of flaws.
Wu Hao felt good about himself, and the more he swung, the more energetic he became.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, Wu Hu gasped and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and saw Wu Hao breathing a sigh of relief here. When I woke up in the morning and found that Childe was nowhere to be found, I thought of the scene of the mob attack yesterday, and I felt anxious so I looked around: "It turns out that Childe is here, but it scared me to death."
"Scared?". Wu Hao heard the familiar voice, put the sword in his hand back to the sheath, and looked at Wu Hu with a puzzled look.
Wu Hu calmed down the violently beating heart in his heart a little, and explained to Wu Hao: "Yesterday we met a thug, and we didn't see Gongzi this morning, so how can we not panic in the whole house." Besides, Childe can know the identity of the group of thugs yesterday."
"The identity of the thug?". Wu Hao was slightly stunned, then shook his head.
Wu Hu thought of what happened last night, and continued to explain to Wu Hao: "After my brother took a hundred Mai family soldiers to aid the Marquis of Hefei in the middle of the night, the county commander came in a hurry with people. Inform the government that after detailed verification, the group of thugs is the Yellow Turban bandits."
"What do you say? That group of thugs is the Yellow Turbans". Wu Hao couldn't help but be stunned, no wonder this sword was so sharp, it would not be surprising if it was the thing of the Yellow Turban Leader.
Wu Hu nodded, if it weren't for that, why would he be so panicked: "Yesterday, after I left, the county order found a yellow scarf wrapped around my head, which was verified to confirm that it was correct. Now the 200 officers and soldiers in the county and the 100 soldiers in the prefecture are ready to fight."
"No wonder, no wonder when I went out of the city today, I found that the city gate was a little more tightly checked." Wu Hao thought of the officers and soldiers he saw when he went out of the city, and showed an expression of sudden realization.
Wu Hu thought of Wu Ji's analysis last night and Liu Yi's advice, and relayed to Wu Hao: "Son, let's go home quickly." Madame is worried that there will be a yellow scarf attack today, so she told her that she must bring her back to the house after finding her son."
"Yellow Turbans are coming?". Wu Hao's mind suddenly appeared with the words of the two brothers, Qiang Ming and Qiang Zhen, and when he thought of the stars that night, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Wu Hu heard Wu Hao's inquiry and continued to explain to him: "Last night, the county ordered to analyze the situation, I'm afraid that my Chao County will become a battlefield."
"Regardless of whether the yellow turban is attacking or not, we can't go back home at this time." Although Wu Hao still couldn't understand how the Yellow Turban Army bypassed the defenders of the Marquis of Hefei to launch a surprise attack, he understood. Once the Yellow Turban attacks, with the 300 troops in the county, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.
When Wu Hu heard the reply, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why?"
"If you are the commander of the Yellow Turbans, do everything possible to bypass the defenders of the Marquis of Hefei and launch a surprise attack in their rear. How many troops will you send? Whether the troops of Chao County can resist again". Wu Hao asked Wu Hu.
Wu Hu thought for a moment and then shook his head, after all, the Yellow Turbans bypassed the defenders of the Hefei Houguo and were a little unbelievable: "The main force of my Lujiang Group is in the Hefei Houguo, but how those Yellow Turban bandits bypassed it is really incomprehensible."
"What if there is an internal response?" Wu Hao sorted out what happened yesterday in his mind, and a realization rose in his heart, and he blurted out.
Wu Hu thought of the group of thugs, and gradually fell into maturity: "Neiying? Who would dare to risk such a thing".
"Don't forget, what they called me yesterday." Wu Hao asked rhetorically at Wu Hu.
Wu Hu heard the inquiry, thought of the time of yesterday's incident, and immediately blurted out: "Could it be that Gongzi suspects the Zheng family of Juchao."
"What's in it for them?" Without waiting for Wu Hao to reply, Wu Hu continued to ask him.
Wu Hao shook his head slightly, his eyes were full of puzzlement, why the Zheng family was willing to act as the internal response of the yellow scarf.
"Knock ......". A thick bell rang throughout the county, and the eyes of Wu Hao and Wu Hu followed the direction from which the voice came and looked at the county seat under the high slope.
Dense footsteps were heard, and soldiers in armor appeared on the city walls, swords and spears unsheathed. Dozens of archers stared at the front, their eyes full of solemnity.
There was a earth-shattering sound of footsteps in front of the county seat, and countless soldiers wearing yellow scarves poured into the county seat like a tide, and the rain of arrows flew from the city wall like raindrops to the city. Several people in the city who had not yet entered the city were shot and fell in pools of blood.
Looking at this scene, a chill rose in Wu Hao's heart, and he was a human being in two lives. But when this scene really happened in front of me, it was inevitable that a trace of sadness would rise.
Wu Hu looked at the scene below, his lips trembled slightly, obviously his heart was extremely uneasy: "The county is closed, how can this be good."
"Looking at the number of these Yellow Turban bandits, I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand people left. If we don't do something, I'm afraid that Chao County will be in danger, and so will my Wu family." Wu Hao looked at the Yellow Turban Army below like a tide, and a question in his heart was suddenly solved. At first, he was still wondering why the Wu clan, which was as powerful as his own, was not mentioned in the history books, but now it seems that it was this surprise attack that defeated the Wu clan. The subsequent major events naturally did not have its figure, and it was lost in the long river of history.
Wu Hu heard the meaning of his son's words, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask: "Listen to the meaning of the son, I want the two of us to solve the more than 1,000 Yellow Turban bandits below."
"Do you think it's possible?". Wu Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes, I don't know if Wu Hu's brain hole is too big or his imagination is too small. With two people fighting a thousand, such a crazy idea can actually be spoken.
Wu Hu reacted and hurriedly shook his head, thinking of the scene where the two of them rushed down to die, his legs couldn't help but tremble.
"Let's go". Wu Hao looked at the battlefield under the high slope and was in no mood to joke.
Wu Hu was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale in an instant: "Childe, do you really want to rush down?"
"Go to Hefei Houguo, or chase your brother back first. Otherwise, with just the two of us, even if we become Monkey King, it will be fine." Wu Hao angrily commanded Wu Hu.
Wu Hu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweatless forehead: "The son scared me to death just now."
"It's you who scare yourself, okay". Wu Hao was speechless, his eyes looked down again, and then he had a sense of urgency: "Time is urgent, let's set off immediately."
Before the words fell, he immediately ran in another direction.
Seeing this, Wu Hu didn't dare to delay too much, so he hurriedly took a step forward and followed.
