The attacking side was more than 42,000 Yellow Turban troops led by Bian Xi, although they were young but less than half of the entire team, and most of the rest were old and infirm people and some able-bodied women.

Although most of the team was made up of old and weak women and children, their morale was extremely high. A few days ago, Bian Xibu, who had just broken a county seat, snatched all the grain, grass and money of all the wealthy and powerful families in the city. Many of the originally hungry Yellow Turban soldiers were finally able to let go of their bellies and eat and drink, and some of the Yellow Turbans who had not robbed enough even targeted the homes of ordinary people, and after snatching the food that those people lived, they were forced to join the ranks of the Yellow Turban Army. Although the mood of the newly joined 'comrades-in-arms' was 'some' depressed, in the eyes of those veteran Yellow Turban Army officers and soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army of great sages and good teachers had grown again, and at the same time, they had greater confidence in the Yellow Turban Army's final defeat of the imperial court.

On the other hand, the defenders of Dong'e County were the Fan Xiang Department who rushed to Dongjun from Chenliu County to support. Although there are more than 2,000 soldiers of the imperial court who are fully armored and equipped with bows and horses, at this moment they have been surrounded by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Legions in this Dong'e County, and the faces of those people are very tired, but because the city gates on all sides are blocked, there is no place to withdraw even if they want to evacuate at this moment.

Why are there only more than 2,000 of the more than 3,000 soldiers supported by Fanxiang? And why did they appear in the county seat of Dong'e County, which was originally lost due to Wang Du's rebellion? How did Bian Xi's Yellow Turban Army successfully encircle Dong'e County? It all started a few days ago when Fan Xiang entered the East County.

A few days ago, Fan Xiang made a long trek into Dongjun with more than 3,000 horses. Along the way, he encountered several Yellow Turban troops with a scale of several hundred people, and when he saw these Yellow Turban troops burning, killing and looting, Fan Xiang naturally would not let them go easily. The archers fired several volleys, and more than 100 cavalry charged and killed all these rabble on the spot. The battle was extremely easy, which made Fan Xiang's department, who originally thought that he would encounter a strong enemy when he entered Dongjun, was sure.

Fan Xiang led the soldiers all the way into Puyang, and thousands of soldiers killed almost the same number of Yellow Turban Army, the easy battle and huge results made Qiao Mao and his party, who had been looking forward to Fan Xiang's arrival, ecstatic.

After Qiao Mao ushered in thousands of soldiers from the Fan Xiang Division, the scale of the imperial court soldiers in Puyang City was close to 8,000. Coupled with some private soldiers of those powerful families who were forced to flee to Puyang with the intention of returning home, the number of soldiers and horses that could be called upon finally reached more than 10,000 people.

At the banquet prepared for Fan Xiang, Qiao Mao proposed to let Fan Xiang bring his subordinates to recapture the county seat of Dong'e that had been lost due to Wang Du. After a few glasses of wine and didn't take the Yellow Turban Army seriously, Fan Xiang was just touted a few words, and he simply responded to Xiaqiaomao's request. The soldiers of Chenliu County only rested in Puyang for one day, and then followed Fan Xiang to continue to Dong'e, preparing to storm Dong'e County, an important place in Dong'e County.

But what Fan Xiang didn't expect was that when he approached the city, he unexpectedly found that Dong'e County had become an empty city. There is no trace of the Yellow Turban Army or any civilians.

'Could it be that those Yellow Turbans have been scared away by my prestige? ’

Fan Xiang couldn't help but feel a little proud, if he was still nesting in Chenliu County, where would he have today's scenery?

'When you put down the Yellow Turban Thief in Dongjun, the court will definitely see your talent and use it well. With a beautiful fantasy, Fan Xiang's troops and horses were stationed in Dong'e County, and sent several knights to spread the news of his capture of Dong'e to Qiao Mao and others in Puyang.

The night seemed to be no different from usual, but as soon as the morning of the second day came, Fan Xiang was awakened by a sudden shout of killing. When he climbed the city tower, he found that the vast Yellow Turban Army blocked all the four city gates of Dong'e County, although the Yellow Turban Army came in a hurry and did not bring heavy siege weapons, but watching so many Yellow Turban Army slowly rushing to make siege equipment outside the city, more than 3,000 county soldiers in the city, including Fan Xiang, all showed frightened expressions.

Where did so many Yellow Turbans come from? Why don't they go anywhere else, why are they specifically besieging Dong'e City, where my Fan Xiang is located?

In fact, when Fan Xiang entered Dongjun and fought the Yellow Turban Army for the first time, he had already entered the sight of Yu Poison and Bian Xi. Although the relationship between these two Yellow Turban Army commanders is not very good, they are both members of the Yellow Turban Army after all. Fan Xiang, as the executor of the expulsion of Chen Liu's Taiping Dao some time ago, has long been hated by the Taiping Taoist people. Now that Taiping Dao has turned into the Yellow Turban Army, this Fan Xiang actually didn't take it with him in Chenliu, but he led the army to Dongjun and killed thousands of Yellow Turban Army soldiers. At this time, not only Bian Xi hated Fan Xiang alone, but Yu Xuan, who had lost a lot of his subordinates, also began to think about how to bury all the thousands of people and horses in Fan Xiang on his own territory.

Just as the two Yellow Turban Army commanders were discussing strategies, Wang Du led a team of men and horses to the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun County to find Yu Poison, and captured Dong'e County but had to come to ask for help due to the lack of garrison strength.

Hearing the news brought by Wang Du, the two Qu Shuai, who were worried that there was no good bait to lure Fan Xiang, glanced at each other and decided to use Dong'e County as Fan Xiang's burial place.

After choosing the bait, Yu Poison and Bian Xi began to discuss the details of the action. The combat effectiveness of the more than 3,000 Chen Liujun soldiers led by Fan Xiang was almost equal to that of the main elite of the Yellow Turban Army, such as the Yellow Turban Force. Relying on the more than 20,000 rabble brought by Bian Xi from Chen Liu, even if they eat the Fan Xiang Division, they will inevitably end up with a lose-lose situation. And Yu Poison, as the head snake of Dongjun, is naturally much better than Bian Xi in terms of strength. But Yu Poison is not a good talker, so it is almost impossible for him to help Bian Xi cut off a big trouble in vain.

Bian Xi and Yu Poison bargained, and finally discussed borrowing Bian Xi's 20,000 Yellow Turban Army for help. And as a price, after Bian Xi defeated the more than 3,000 soldiers of Fan Xiang, he had to hand over half of his armor and weapons to Yu Poison. And when Bian Xi entered Chenliu to plunder, he had to transport half of the property and grain he obtained to Yu Poison. Although it takes a lot of money to pay, Bian Xi is very clear, and now he is living a hard life under the fence. And if he can use the power of poison to annihilate these thousands of people in Dongjun, then Chenliu County is almost an undefended fortress, and he can return to Chenliu with his subordinates and wantonly plunder those wealthy and powerful people who have no money and food but no power to protect them.

Both of them felt that they would not lose money, so they quickly mobilized soldiers and horses to send scouts, and waited for Fan Xiang to step into the bait of Dong'a.

So when Fan Xiangzhi entered Dong'e City with pride, the fate of these more than 3,000 people was already in the hands of Bian Xi and Yu Poison.

A tragic siege battle, facing the drizzle of early spring, began.
