Chapter 284: I've Been Waiting for a Long Time

The Fujiao army rushed out of the barracks and made a detour to the east of the giant deer.

The place where the cauldron is set up in the grass shed area is in the west, that is, in the direction of facing the camp of the Fujiao Army, Li Qin led the troops to attack from the east, in order to avoid most of the Yellow Turbans, if they attack directly from the west, then the Yellow Turbans will resist, and attack from the east, firstly, the resistance is smaller, and secondly, when the Yellow Turbans learn that Julu City is broken, a considerable part of the people will give up resistance, which is more favorable for the Fujiao Army to suppress the rebellion!

The gallop of the army, even if it is a detour, can be tens of thousands of horses' hooves hitting the ground, and the rumbling sound can be heard for miles or even more than ten miles.

There is a big pot where the rice has already begun to be put in, although there are many pots, but there are more people waiting to eat, more than a hundred cauldrons of food cooked out of the cauldron, it is not enough at all, it is estimated that the people in the back, even if they wait until the morning, they may not be able to receive food, the general of the Fujiao Army who is responsible for putting the rice, sent people back to get the cauldron, so as not to wait in line for too long in the yellow turbans, in case of impatience and confusion, it will be bad!

The ground was shaken, and the Yellow Turbans were a little frightened, of course they knew that this was the sound of the army moving and galloping rapidly. At the beginning, the Yellow Turbans thought that the Fujiao Army was here to fight them, and everyone was anxious, if it weren't for the cauldron in front, maybe they would have been in chaos!

The general of the Fujiao Army, who was in charge of putting the food, hurriedly shouted loudly to silence the Yellow Turbans, and he shouted: "As long as you don't take weapons, you can continue to receive food, don't worry, our Fujiao Army doesn't beat the common people, as long as you don't take weapons, you are not considered anti-thieves, they are all ordinary people, just continue to receive food here!" ”

The horn soldiers also shouted loudly, and the Yellow Turbans settled down a little, and there was no major disturbance, but fortunately this is outside the city, and there are no hardcore henchmen with Zhang Jiao, otherwise the situation is really difficult to control when they shout at this time. Zhang Jiao practiced a different way of garrisoning inside and outside, the hardcore followers all lived in the city, and the ordinary Yellow Turbans lived outside the city, and his safety was usually guaranteed, but when it came to the critical moment, the speed at which the ordinary Yellow Turbans abandoned him was also something he had not expected before!

After a while, the sound of hooves faded away, and the Fujiao Army Brigade did not come, and the Yellow Turbans relieved themselves, as long as they didn't come to attack them, as for Zhang Jiao, they really couldn't take care of it, and they didn't have the ability to take care of it, after all, under the premise that their own survival needs were not met, they wouldn't care about Zhang Jiao's safety needs!

The auxiliary soldiers of the Fujiao Army brought hundreds of cauldrons, and almost took out the cauldron in the entire barracks and set it up outside the grass shed area, which can barely be used to put food in need.

Li Qin led the Fujiao Army Brigade to roar and gallop, and before he could wait for midnight, he went around to the direction of Dongcheng. There is also a grass hut area outside the city here, and it is larger than the one in the west, after all, this place is far away from the Fujiao army camp, so it can be regarded as safer, so naturally there are more Yellow Turbans staying here!

However, due to the rice in the west, the news has spread here, under the call of the broth and flatbread, no one in the Yellow Turbans can still sleep, they have already run to the West City in groups, only a few Yellow Turbans stay here, but these left behind the Yellow Turbans heard the sound of horses' hooves, and they scattered and fled in all directions, few people will be stupid enough to stay here to resist, there is no benefit if they win, and they will lose their heads if they lose, they are not the backbone, why stay here and wait for death, there is no need!

After the Fujiao army ran to the east city, it rushed through the grass shed area smoothly, only encountered sporadic sneak attacks, no matter what, the iron rod that doesn't want to die always exists, but there are too few people to set off wind and waves, the Fujiao army waved his hand to level the sneak attack, and pounced directly on the east gate of the giant deer!

Li Qin led the troops, ran to the front, he looked at the city gate by the moonlight, and saw a lot of stones piled up at the city gate, it seems that they were piled up just now, and he wanted to block the city gate, he looked into the city gate hole, couldn't bear it, and laughed out loud!

I saw that there was no gate in the city gate, only a large group of Yellow Turban soldiers, it seemed that they were just moving stones to block the city gate, and these Yellow Turban soldiers saw the Fujiao army coming, screamed and screamed, and ran to the city, panicked!

Li Qin turned back to Dian Wei and said, "What is this, this is also called city defense?" You've been here for a while, but do you know that Julu doesn't have a city gate? ”

Dian Wei said: "Young master, Julu doesn't have a city gate, I knew this before, but there are grass sheds separated by several miles outside, so whether there is a city gate or not, it has no impact on the city defense of Julu, before you came, I couldn't beat this grass shed place!" ”

Li Qin hummed and said: "Don't enter the city immediately, set fire to it first, and burn it here, Zhang Jiao in the city naturally knows that there is no city gate, and he can't have any plans to hold on, so he will definitely escape, he doesn't have to think about the east and west, send people over, and set fire to the south, then Zhang Jiao can only flee to the north, I will personally lead the troops and wait for him in the north!" ”

Dian Wei said: "Send Zhao Zheng over, he is careful, if Zhang Jiao does not escape from the north, but breaks through from the south, then Zhao Zheng can also catch him, he is the best at arresting people!" ”

Li Qin shouted: "Zhao Zheng, take 5,000 people to the south, set fire to it first, create momentum, and prevent Zhang Jiao from breaking through from the south, if he still has to go from the south, catch him, live or die!" ”

Zhao Zheng in the crowd was overjoyed, it was finally his turn to lead the troops alone, and it was an important task, he hurriedly agreed, ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses, and ran to the south.

Li Qin turned his horse's head and assigned Wu Xiaosan to lead the troops to set fire to block the door here, while he himself took more than 10,000 horn soldiers and ran far north!

After a while, a fire broke out outside the city, and the fire turned both the south and east cities red!

Town. Zhang Jiao didn't know that Zhang Liang was dead, no one came back to report the news, the more he waited, the more anxious he became, it didn't take long for him to hear the sound of horses' hooves, it was going in the direction of Dongcheng, although he didn't have any military talent, but such a simple troop transfer action, he didn't need to read too many esoteric military books, he already knew that the main direction of attack of the Fujiao Army was Dongcheng!

The west side is not to think about it, there is the direction where the Fujiao Army camp is located, it is impossible to escape at all, the east side is the main direction of attack, there is no need to think about escaping, there are only two directions left in the north and south, his first thought is to escape from the south, the north is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not a place where Taiping Road prevails, far less than the south, as long as he escapes to the south, then he can still find a lot of people from Taiping Road, maybe he can make a comeback!

Zhang Jiao ran down the city and ran back to the Taiping Palace, and at this time, the hardcore followers in the city had all run here, wanting to listen to his decree! Zhang Jiao asked them to prepare horses, bring the required dry food, and prepare to follow him out of the city and flee south, the irons immediately took action, they were not many in number, but they also exceeded 10,000 people, they were the backbone of the Yellow Turban Army, and the weapons they held were also excellent, they were all equipped with official and military equipment, and many people could also mix armor, which was definitely the elite of Zhang Jiao's men!

Zhang Jiao ran into the hall, and when he saw that Zhang Bao was still unconscious, he called a few Yellow Turban soldiers to come in, lifted Zhang Bao up, carried him to the carriage, covered it with a big blanket, and asked someone to escort Zhang Bao to the south.

Looking back at the Taiping Palace, although it was just an ordinary county office, he finally lived here for a while, and he had some feelings, and he was about to leave now, and he was a little reluctant in his heart!

Stomped his feet, Zhang Jiao was ruthless, the Taiping Palace couldn't live by itself, so it couldn't let the officials and soldiers have to go back, just burn it down! After calling a group of Yellow Turban soldiers, he ordered a fire, and when he saw the fire rise, he turned around and went out of the gate, got on his horse and went to chase Zhang Bao's carriage!

Coming back to pick up his brother, he was delayed for some time, and before he could run to the south gate with a large group of people, someone in front reported that the south gate was blocked, and a fire was set out, and the east gate was also on fire, but the Fujiao army had not yet attacked, and had not yet entered the city!

Zhang Jiao thought to himself: "I can't go away from the west, the east and south are blocked again, and now only the north gate is left, it seems that I can only go from there!" ”

In terms of military talent, he is lacking, one of his two brothers is missing, the other is seriously injured and dying, there is chaos in the city, there is a fire outside the city, at this moment, he can no longer calm down and think, and he has no time to think, otherwise he will definitely understand, this is called Wai Sanque Yi, Li Qin is waiting for him to run south!

Dizzy, Zhang Jiao shouted: "Break through from the north, follow me!" "Lead the team, turn around, and run to the south again!

Even if the Yellow Turban soldiers are elite, not everyone has horses to ride, and there are only three or four thousand people with horses. When Huangfu Song was defeated, a large number of war horses were captured, but during this time, due to the lack of military rations, and there was not enough forage to feed the war horses, in desperation, a large number of war horses had to be killed, used as rations, so now the number of war horses is seriously insufficient, although there are tens of thousands of hardcore followers, but the people who can really escape from the city with Zhang Jiao are only three or four thousand people with horses!

Hurried all the way, finally got out of the city gate, crossed the grass shed area that had long been unmanned, Zhang Jiao ran out of twenty miles in one breath, tossing for so long, the sky was already bright at this time!

Zhang Jiao stopped and told the Yellow Turban soldiers to rest, count the number of people, and after counting, he almost fainted, there were only more than 2,000 people left around him, and the rest of the irons did not keep up, and the horses were just gone, but how could the horses run half of them, could it be that the trees were really scattered, and even the hardcore followers had become wooden poles?

Zhang Jiao shouted: "Go back a few people, wait for the ones left behind, let them go along this road, don't get separated!" ”

As soon as he finished shouting, before the Yellow Turban soldiers could run back, a Yellow Turban soldier shouted in front: "General Tiangong, there are horn soldiers in front, many, many, countless!" ”

Zhang Jiao was taken aback, looked ahead, and saw that at the corner of the avenue, there were countless horn soldiers, and a person in front of him was draped all over his body, and he was young, this person shouted: "Is it Zhang Jiao?" I, Li Qin, have been waiting here for a long time! ”
