Even though the heavy snow has stopped and the frozen ground has begun to melt, it is still extremely cold in the second half of March in Hebei. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cold wind mixed with ice silk blew through the mottled city towers, and the morning sun was still buried deep under the horizon, but it was unwilling to be lonely and revealed that except for a little fish belly white, the first rays of sunshine in the morning had not yet come.

The banner of the Han family on the tower of the city fluttered in the cold wind.

This is Julu, and the person who is stationed in the city tower is Zhu Minzi, the general of Julu City Defense, and behind him is almost all the strength of the Julu City Defense Army.

In the morning, there was still some silence on the huge towers, except for the patrols that were still keeping vigil in turn, and the soldiers on the lookouts at the four corners were tightly wrapped in light armor, and they curled their heads in the cold wind, and looked listless.

Due to the delay of spring plowing due to the cold for such a long time, there is not much grain and grass left in the giant deer. These soldiers simply did not have the opportunity to add thicker cotton clothing to their armor. In fact, even if there is no cold winter, with the financial resources of Julu being sucked out by the Taiping Sect, it will not be able to distribute cotton clothes to every Jiujiang soldier.

Those pairs of red eyes were bloodshot, and the only thought in their hearts at this moment was probably to hold on to the change of value as soon as possible, and go back to sleep with their heads covered, as for the war... the war!

"The beginning of spring after heavy snowfall is often the coldest!"

Zhu Min complained in his heart, as the guard of Julu, he was transferred from Jingzhou not long ago, and it was relatively difficult for him to withstand the cold winter in Hebei.

But it doesn't matter, since he is the giant deer guard and guards the side of the Han Court, he will naturally overcome these difficulties. In the days before the Taiping uprising, he was the only commander in the center of Hebei who did not surrender.

As a member of the sect, the giant deer Taishou had been killed by him, and in the confrontation, he was blinded in one eye by a recalcitrant general, but this still did not make him succumb, and under his majestic suppression, the Julu city defense force was still controlled by him.

The one-eyed Zhu Min had already walked up to the tower, draped in a patched cotton robe, but he was greeted by several soldiers who seemed to be dozing off with spears.

Zhu Min's somewhat hideous face bloomed with a smile, and he went up and kicked the soldier lightly, and strode away in the voice of the soldier shouting loudly for the general.

Walking to the middle of the city tower, Zhu Min leaned on the protruding part of the city tower with both hands, and took a deep breath, he did not pursue the dereliction of duty caused by the drowsiness of the soldiers during their rotation, and looked at the endless plain under the city, his face seemed to be full of worry.

Since the Taiping Uprising, the Taiping Sect with yellow scarves on their shoulders has swept the entire Jizhou, and he knows that his stubborn resistance alone is simply a mantis arm as a car, but as a general of the Han Dynasty, he has to have such a responsibility.

"A bunch of soft eggs!"

Zhu Min scolded, he was very disdainful of the feudal officials who surrendered to the Yellow Turban, although they were all on the side of the town, but they had already lost the blood of soldiers without war all year round, and once they met a strong enemy, they could only choose to surrender.

In fact, why not be like this myself? Whether it is wealthy Jingzhou or now Hebei, he has not tried to fight for a long time. He had heard that those Yellow Turban thieves had 200 wrenx, and they were extremely fierce, and each of them was one against ten.

Frowning, he seemed to like this sense of oppression very much, as a soldier, he must have a sense of oppression in order to make progress, but he also had a trace of fear, he was afraid that he would not be able to protect the people and his family at all.

Speaking of family, a happy smile hung on the corner of Zhu Min's mouth, he was originally a strong family in Jingzhou, after taking Wang Ting of the Wang family, his Tingting gave birth to a fat boy in the place of Julu.

Whenever he came home and saw his son, even his hideous face would become kind, and when the son in his arms wet his clothes, this iron man in the army was strangely lifeless.

Holding his son's little finch, Zhu Min gave his son a name, Zhu Jiang!

Maybe there's a missing table? Zhu Min has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and if he wins this battle, he will find a famous man to give his son a domineering name, and also find a famous teacher for his son, so that his son will not be a tired and tired general like himself. In his opinion, that Hedong Wei Zhongdao is very good, if he can be his son's teacher, then...

It's impossible to think about it.

Zhu Min self-deprecatingly straightened out his blindfold, and summarized his thoughts back to his chest, the gap between him and the Wei family is too big, and there is no reason for people to be their son's teacher.

Glancing at the soldiers behind him, Zhu Min couldn't help but sigh, in fact, the city defense soldiers of Julu did not have the same sense of oppression as him, even if there was only one lonely city left in Hebei Loyalty, even if the Yellow Turban thieves were going to come to the city on the same day, but these soldiers were just illiterate strong men to put it bluntly.

Where do they know the sense of crisis? They just need to be fed and clothed, no matter whose subordinates they belong to, as long as someone gives them a mouthful of food, they are willing to give their lives to whomever they want!

According to Zhu Min's estimate, Zhang Jiao is likely to launch an attack on the giant deer today, and in order to warn him, he has already placed five or six small scout teams within a radius of 100 miles.

As soon as the Horned army arrives, the scouts will follow the order to burn trees and grass to signal themselves.

"Huh! Ha! ”

A group of soldiers who had been practicing in the inner city, Feng Hao once again showed a smile of relief, after all, in his opinion, protecting his family and defending the country was his life's ideal, even if the Han at this time was already like an old man who was in the waning mountains.

But the smile only lasted for a second before it froze!

For he was on the tower of the city and saw something!

Even with only one eye, he could see it clearly...

Wolf smoke!

A large amount of black wolf smoke came out of several forests where he had planted scouts at the same time, and the black pillars of smoke rushed straight into the sky, even if it was already cold and windy, it did not dissipate.

These forests are already very close to the giant deer, so there is only one explanation, the scouts who are a little farther away have been slaughtered before they even have a chance to release wolf smoke!

And there is only one person in the vicinity who has such a skill...

The four words of the yellow turban thief Kou were directly reflected in Zhu Min's brain, and the beads of sweat slipped down from his forehead, and dozens of black and white flags had already risen from the junction of heaven and earth, and they seemed to tear apart the cavalry of heaven and earth, and they had already shaken the Julu City Tower to the ground!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Zhu Min's tragic voice spread all over the city tower!

"It's the Yellow Turban Thief! All of them... Everyone's ready to fight! ”

After Zhu Min shouted, he turned around quickly, his face had been distorted several times, and he clearly saw the four big characters "General Tiangong" written on the black and white flag!

Several falcons flew over the city tower like lightning, and several soldiers who were caught off guard were pecked by them fiercely, and a big slap wound appeared on their heads in an instant, and the falcon of the initiator did not look back, flapped its wings and walked away!

Those soldiers who were still out of the exercise were already in a messy pace, and under the command of Zhu Min, they rushed up to the city tower one after another, but fortunately, the Julu city defense army had obviously been trained by Zhu Min's devil, and more than 1,000 people had gathered on the passages on all sides of the city tower that was not wide in an instant.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhu Min's long sword pointed at the sky, and the hundreds of archers who had been hastily assembled had already drawn their bows, and the rain of arrows was like meteors slashing towards the Yellow Turban troops under the city.

And this time it was not Cheng Zhiyuan's vanguard cavalry who took the lead in the charge, nor Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's vanguard troops, but a heroic man composed of only 200 people.

The words "Yellow Turban Warrior" appeared in the minds of everyone in the city defense soldiers, and it seems that Zhang Jiao is extremely willing to invest in the armament of these people, more than 200 people are all dressed in iron armor, holding steel spears in their hands, not afraid of the blow of the arrow rain, and the weapon will hit the arrow weakly with a wave.

"Set me up a ladder!"

Zhang Bao shouted angrily, these days, his subordinates have almost demolished the nearby houses, and all the wood is used to make ladders, and with an order, there are more than a dozen ladders on the tower of Julu City.

"Fight it! Beat them down! ”

Zhu Min shouted heartbreakingly, and asked the soldiers to throw the prepared boulder down the city to stop the climbing Yellow Turban Lux.

But he was disappointed, the stones seemed to be bothering the Khans, but they were far from spilling their brains.

Those big men just waved the stones away with their bare hands, and with their bones shattered, their bodies bruised, their heads broken, and their blood flowed, they had to rush up to the tower.

Zhang Liang's archers were in place, even if they were shot from the bottom up, many of these arrows could still reach the top of the city tower, and the screams continued to reach Zhu Min's ears, and the tragic death of the giant deer soldiers around him had made his face sink to the extreme.

And his eyes were like sniper rifles staring at the two men who were climbing the ladder, and he knew them! The portraits of these two people have already been seen by him, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao! Known as the general of the earth, the general of the people!

He really couldn't imagine such an important leader climbing the ladder with such an important leader, but it was completely present in front of him. But before he could be stunned, the attacks of Zhang Jiao's army followed.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A simple ramming cart was pushed under the city gate, and a few Yellow Turban wrestlers left behind were vigorously pushing the ram, and the iron-cast city gate of the giant deer seemed to be unable to withstand this huge force at all, and it was crumbling in the cold wind!

Zhu Min's heart was pounding, he could already predict the outcome of this battle, he turned around and said a few words to one of his henchmen gloomily.

But I saw that the henchman was kneeling on the ground, refusing to move.

"Get out of here! The lives of the lady and the young master are in your hands! ”

Zhu Min kicked his henchman over with tears in his eyes, and when he saw the figure of his henchman far away, the stone in his heart finally fell, and his eyes shifted to Zhang Bao, who had climbed the city tower and gained a firm foothold, and he resolutely decided to step forward with a knife.

"Death to Lao Tzu!"

Zhu Min shouted, the horse chopping knife in his hand was raised high to the sky, and with great strength, he slashed towards Zhang Bao. And Zhang Bao felt that the blade was coming, and the weapon in his hand did not block it, but calmly slashed it.

"Clank!"

Zhu Min had never thought that a person would have such great strength, and at this time, his horse chopping knife had been broken, and the tiger's mouth was also full of blood. Zhang Bao glanced at Zhu Min, who had fallen to the ground, and raised his hand to the chest.

And there is no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be strong. The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! ”

Vaguely hearing the slogan of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhu Min, who fell in a pool of blood, gradually blurred, he could already feel the passage of his life, at this time he only wanted his henchmen to leave safely with his wife and son.

"Child, my father doesn't have time to find a celebrity to get you a table word, so just be fair. Great love is boundless, heaven and earth are fair, I wish Xinjiang and justice, you have to inherit the ideal of being your father..."
