Outside Gaocheng County, under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, a black-clothed young man wrapped in yellow silk brocade silk looked at the battlefield not far away with a grim face, and his face sank into the water.

An old man in Tsing Yi beside him had a sad face and sighed: "Young marshal, this Gaocheng County is not easy to fight, the defenders of the city should be Gongsun Zhan's elite soldiers, according to the old slave, it is better to order the attack on his city." ”

The black-clothed young man snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "Ben Shuai has the protection of the Yellow Sky, six thousand men and horses cross the sea to the north, if you can't even beat Gaocheng County, how can you talk about attacking Jizhou, this Gaocheng County is already at the end of the road at this time, you don't have to say it, you must fight it today!" ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, he still remembered that on the first day of attacking Gaocheng County, the young marshal said that he would take Gaocheng County that day, and then he would say it several times a day, but now it seems that it is all empty words.

But he didn't dare to expose the shortcomings of the young marshal, so he changed his angle and persuaded him: "Young marshal, it's better to delay it for two more days, and when Qu Shuai and the 300,000 horses cross the river to attack the main force of Gongsun Zhan, I will fight this Gaocheng County again, and I will definitely be able to win it in one fell swoop." ”

The black-clothed young man said impatiently: "How can Gongsun Zhan resist the 300,000 Yellow Heaven Holy Army, he will definitely be defeated, this marshal was sent here by his brother, if he doesn't take the opportunity to seize the merits, how can he gain a foothold in the army in the future!" Even if the whole army is wiped out, we must also take this Gaocheng County! ”

The old man's eyes were even more worried: "I'm afraid that there are still reinforcements in this Gaocheng County." ”

The young man in black sneered, "Reinforcements? Gongsun Chan is only 30,000 horses, and my Huangtian army has 300,000, how dare Gongsun Chan divide troops to help! ”

The old man was silent.

……

After three days of hard fighting, Ji Ping's archers ran out of arrows, and the Yellow Turban Thief was naturally gone. The only three siege ladders were also destroyed, so the siege at this time was a crowd of people climbing up. The hand-to-hand combat is even more brutal and bloody.

Yellow turban thieves swarmed up. There are a large number of people, and they are not afraid of death, but Ji Ping's soldiers are even more experienced and murderous, although it is a small place on the city tower, but it is also three or five people with strong cooperation, plus Ji Ping's iron rod can respond at any time, in the blink of an eye, dozens of yellow turban thieves who attacked were ambushed in the city.

There were more Yellow Turban thieves who died under the walls. Either they were hit by a stone or splashed with boiling water, and many yellow turban thieves who fell down and did not die will climb up again even if they lack arms and legs.

Ji Ping's subordinates are not elite tiger battalions now, and their combat effectiveness is much worse, and it is very risky to fight with these yellow turban maniacs.

It was just over two hours. The battle continued, the fighting was very fierce, and under the desperate death of the Yellow Turban Thieves, the soldiers defending the city also suffered many casualties again. The second wave of soldiers preparing for war has already gone to the city to support.

At this moment, a man rushed up from under the city wall, wearing a yellow scarf. The means were extremely high, and in three or two strokes, the three defenders who rushed up to block the city were dismissed. Everyone was shocked, and the supporting soldiers were about to surround them. Ji Ping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stopped everyone: "Don't be busy, it's Commander Shi." ”

"Big brother." The Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed up brushed their two swords and stabbed to death the two Yellow Turbans who rushed up together, turned to Ji Ping and saluted, it was Shi A, the leader of the Shadow Division.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles, this Yellow Turban Army is not small, Ji Ping sent Shi A to secretly infiltrate the Yellow Turban Military Camp outside the city two days ago to find out the news.

"Ah Heng, how is the enemy situation?" Ji Ping was keenly aware that this yellow scarf was different from the few yellow scarves he had encountered during this time, and he couldn't say what was the difference, it was just an intuition.

The fighting style of this Yellow Turban is more ferocious than the previous Yellow Turbans, the faith is more fanatical, and it seems to have some tactical use in battle, which should be considered rare among Yellow Turbans.

Shi A's body was like a ghost, a few jumps and flew by, the long sword flashed in the air, and more than ten yellow turbans that rushed up to the city tower fell to the ground almost at the same time, so that the yellow turbans who rushed up behind couldn't help but be shocked, the fanaticism subsided, and the morale was frustrated.

"Hell!" I don't know which yellow turban shouted, and the other yellow turbans also turned around and jumped off the city wall. These yellow scarves can believe in the Yellow Sky, and naturally they are more fearful of ghosts and gods, and at this moment, in their opinion, Shi A's methods are no longer human.

This is the deterrence of a master.

This wave of yellow turbans had been fighting for more than an hour and had suffered heavy losses, but now Shi A's methods immediately crushed their morale and retreated.

This is not only the credit of Shi A, but also the credit of the soldiers at the head of the city.

Seeing the enemy retreating, Ji Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fighting against these Yellow Turban Army, although his subordinates showed no mercy, but he felt very entangled, if he didn't kill, he couldn't kill it, he killed it.

However, when he relaxed, he immediately felt a pain and soreness all over his body, and the exhaustion of three days and three nights hit.

But he couldn't rest yet, just looked at Shi Ah.

"Big brother." Shi A came to his side and said in a low voice: "The junior brother has found out, the name of this Yellow Turban is Guan Ming, and he is the younger brother of the Qingzhou Sea Thief Guan Cheng, and he also has a brother called Guan Hai, and the three brothers are very powerful in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, with a total of 50,000 or 60,000 horses. ”

"Guan Hai?" Ji Ping was stunned, he hadn't heard much of Guan Cheng's name, but the name Guan Hai was not unfamiliar, he was a leader of the Yellow Turban Army, his own strength was difficult to judge, but he died very famous in history, only because he died under Guan Yu's hands that he was remembered by future generations.

At the same time, he realized a problem, since the Guan brothers have a lot of influence in the Yellow Turban, the Yellow Turban in front of him should be part of the main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and it is no longer the scattered force of the previous days.

This also means that the goal of Qingxu Yellow Turban has completely shifted to Jizhou, and the war is about to begin.

Sure enough, Shi A continued: "And the younger brother heard from Guan Ming's military tent at night that the main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was about to cross the big river, go north to Jizhou, defeat Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, join the Black Mountain Army, occupy Qingzhou, Jizhou and Merge Prefecture, connect together, and seize the world, in response to Huang Tian's statement." This Guan Ming came from the coast, wanting to lay a position on the flank and disturb the rear of Gongsun Zhan. ”

"How's that right?" Knowing that the war was about to break out, Ji Ping couldn't wait to destroy the yellow scarf in front of him.

However, Tian Kai is now afraid that he is also assisting Gongsun Chan in preparing for the main battle, and he has no time to take care of his side, so he has to rely on himself for now.

Shi Ah was about to reply, and at this moment, the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound suddenly sounded outside the city again, but this shouting and killing sound was not in front of him, but in the Yellow Turban Zhongjun not far away.

Ji Ping was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly looked, but saw that behind the right side of the Yellow Turban Chinese Army, a big flag with the word "Zhang" was flying, which was the banner of Zhang He, who was responding outside.

At this time, it was when the Yellow Turban Army failed to retreat after an attack, its morale was low, and when the Chinese army adjusted its orders, no one expected Zhang He to make a surprise attack at this time, Ji Ping didn't expect it, and the Yellow Turban Army outside naturally didn't expect it.

"Herald! Drumming! Go out of the city to fight and break the enemy! Ji Ping decisively gave the order. (To be continued......)
