As the sun set, the long wind turned cold, and the land of Qilu returned to calm. [.]

However, the blood-stained Laiwu city wall and the corpses under the city are still silently telling how tragic the fierce battles that have taken place here in the past few days.

The wind swept across the plains, through the city, and through the arrow holes, making a 'whining' sound like a cry, mixed with the sound of the battle flag hunting, doubly desolate.

At the head of the city, the soldiers of the Taishan Army hid behind the battlements in twos and threes, this time they were not to prevent arrows, but to block the wind by the battlements.

There is still some time before the wax moon, but the strong north wind has already brought the breath of midwinter. When the battle was fierce, I didn't feel anything, and at that time, my attention was focused on the enemies under the city, and my body was constantly moving, and I was sweating profusely, and I couldn't feel the cold. But when he stopped, he felt that the north wind was pervasive, and with a severe cold, through the battle jacket, it penetrated into the cracks of the bones, as if someone was scraping with a knife. The taste is as uncomfortable as it is, and people who have never tasted it can't imagine it.

"Strange, why did the moth thief suddenly stop today? It hurts us to blow the cold wind for a day in vain, and this taste is really enough. ”

"The casualties are too severe, aren't they? After attacking for several days, we have injured nearly five hundred brothers, and the corpses they threw under the city are three or four thousand, even if they are crazy, we should calm down, right? ”

"It's hard to say, there are many moth thieves, so they care about this death or injury? It's not like you didn't see it two days ago, their team drove from the east, like a long dragon, you can't see the end, you have walked for so many days, it can be regarded as a little sparse, obediently, a million army, it's really not covered! What are three or four thousand people compared to? ”

"What I said is that when the day before yesterday was attacking the city, the moth thieves attacked very fiercely, and the number of people who climbed the city was several times higher than in the previous two days, and the archers were also brought in to shoot! Fortunately, there are many crossbow machines in our army, otherwise, how many casualties will be these? Don't you see the moth thieves? It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's invulnerable, but that life is not ordinarily hard! ”

"I heard that it was the Yellow Turban Lux! General Gongming's subordinates also served as yellow scarves, and when they were in Yangren, they wore heavy armor, broke the formation first, and then drove several miles to rush to General Xu's Chinese army formation! Who can have this kind of physical strength for ordinary people? Amazing, amazing! ”

"The Yellow Turban Lux is nothing, anyway, there is a city wall to block it, and I am not afraid that they will turn the sky, that Yellow Turban Little Heavenly Master is really heart-wrenching, you say, Jiao Zhijun is a good person, why was he cursed to death?"

The Yellow Turbans stopped the siege, but the defenders inside the city could not relax completely. In siege warfare, the defending side certainly has a geographical advantage, but at the same time, it also loses the right to dominate the war.

At all times, a certain number of troops must be left on duty at the head of the city to prevent the enemy from sneaking up. Even if there is no bitter lesson in Linzi City, this is common sense; With the matter of Linzi first, no one dares to take it lightly.

In addition to scolding two moth thieves and thieves, the soldiers of Taishan soldiers have no complaints, since the moth thieves began to besiege Laiwu, General Yu has never been down the city wall, and even at night with the soldiers on duty, wrapped in a blanket and slept at the head of the city.

The Lord will take the lead like this, who is embarrassed to complain about anything? The soldiers were just looking for gossip to ward off the cold wind.

However, the topic that was brought up later was quite out of place, and the soldiers not only could not distract themselves, but felt even colder. The combat power of the moth thieves is not as good as Er'er, but these gods and ghosts they are engaged in are really terrifying.

The process of breaking the city in Linzi inspired the morale of the Yellow Turbans, but also brought great psychological pressure to their opponents.

"Curse a fart!"

Wang Ze spat and said loudly: "It's all things that incite the ignorant people, back then, I followed General Huangfu from Yingchuan to Quyang, and I didn't see Zhang Jiao's people really use any spells, but General Huangfu set a fire in Nanyang, which burned Bocai's gang of chickens and dogs, and farts and urine." ”

Wang Ze had no intention of participating in this kind of idle talk, a veteran like him knew very well what to do when he should do it, and he should seize the time to rest in the gap between the Yellow Turbans stopping the attack.

As far as he knew, the siege methods of the moth thieves had not yet been exhausted, such as laying the Yuliang Avenue with soil, and with the number of yellow turbans outside the city, as long as they wanted, it would not be difficult to pave more than a dozen avenues for him.

Of course, it's nothing to be laid out by them, and General Yu also keeps his back hand. However, once it evolves in that direction, the battle will definitely become more intense, and with the manpower of the Yellow Turban Army, it is difficult to say whether there will be a chance to meet the eyes at that time.

However, at this point, if it is not clarified, there will be a danger of shaking the morale of the army, in addition to the 3,000 Taishan troops in the city, there are also about the same number of county soldiers who are used as auxiliaries.

The Taishan army is the main force to defend the city, and the role of the auxiliary soldiers is mainly to carry arrows and stones, transport the wounded, and only a small number of brave ones will be used as a supplement to participate in the defense of the city, and the role is relatively small. But if these people listen to rumors and get into trouble, it will be a big trouble.

"I heard that General Huangfu has a magic weapon...... "Linzi City was broken at night, although there were many Yellow Turban soldiers and horses, it was impossible to wipe out all the people in the city, there were always some people who slipped through the net, and as these people fled on all sides, the news spread.

"The magic weapon of fart!" Wang Ze was furious and shouted loudly: "Where in the world are there so many magic weapons, besides, I have never seen him burn incense once or worship Buddha once in the many years I have been under the command of General Huangfu!" ”

"Yes, Brother Wang, you said yes." For Wang Ze, a veteran, the recruits and the county soldiers all have great respect, not only for his physical strength, but also for his combat experience and the rescue of his comrades.

However, respect is respect, Wang Ze's roar could not dispel the fear in their hearts, but the rumors said that General Huangfu's magic weapon is ancestral and can be used without refining......

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, a plain but majestic voice sounded, startling the soldiers, and when they turned their heads, the recruits jumped up with a frightened face: "General Yu! ”

"Well, don't be so nervous, it's not wartime." Yu Ban smiled slightly, and said gently: "Everyone is worried about the demon method of the moth thief? ”

Some nodded, some shook their heads, and some were speechless.

Yu Ban usually said very little, except for training, he would explain the tactical essentials in detail, there were almost no superfluous words, plus his expression was often very serious, even Tai Shici, a character who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was a little uncomfortable beside him, not to mention these little soldiers?

Suddenly, hearing Yu Ban and Yan Yuese talking about the seemingly nonsensical topic of demon law, even Wang Ze's rough temperament was a little at a loss for a while.

"Nothing to be afraid of." After listening to Yu Ban's next sentence, Wang Ze understood that General Yu was also trying to appease the army, but the method he used was very different from himself.

"The magic is one foot high and one foot high, my lord also knows the fairy law, much more powerful than the moth thief, that little heavenly master of the yellow turban doesn't use the demon method against me, if he uses it, he will only humiliate himself." Looking around at everyone, Yu Ban's eyes were very meaningful.

Wang Ze slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, brothers, don't forget, when the prince was in Hedong, he used the immortal method!" That spell was infinitely powerful, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of people were blasted into the sky, and the Xiongcheng was wiped out! It's much more powerful than this little heavenly master of the moth thief! ”

"I've heard of it too! I heard that Yun Castle is tall, almost less than Luoyang. Some people began to chim, and those who didn't know much about it widened their eyes, and the fear in their eyes began to fade.

Seeing that the recruits were eager to try, but peeked at themselves from time to time, Yu Ban smiled and left quietly, leaving the stage to Wang Ze.

Behind him, the eager inquiring of the soldiers was heard.

"Brother Wang, can you tell us more about it?"

"Actually, it's just this spring and summer......"

The incident in Hedong involved the Yellow Turban, so it was not widely spread, and only in Luoyang and Guanzhong did it spread. When I arrived in the Qingzhou area, because there was originally a little heavenly master, this deed had a tendency to wear a crown and a li. People know that Wang Yu persuaded Bai Bo to be good in Hedong and punished the bully Wei family, but they don't know much about the specific details.

Wang Ze was in Luoyang at the time, and he also knew a lot about it, he understood the meaning of Yu Ban, and immediately frothed at the mouth.

More and more people gathered around, and at the same time, there were also people who kept leaving, sharing the legend they had just heard with others, and the city became noisy. No one is afraid of the cold wind or the magic anymore, because there is a fire burning in everyone's heart.

"The magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high......"

"It's a pity that the little Heavenly Master of the Yellow Turban has self-knowledge, otherwise maybe he can still see the prince fighting with him."

"What is the way to fight? Who is he the opponent of the prince? Junhou is the god of war, the reincarnation of Beidou, and a supernatural power, how can a mere demon law be able to resist it? ”

It seemed to be alarmed by the noise at the head of the city, and the company camp outside the city also stirred, which attracted Yu Ban's attention, and he watched intently.

In the dark night, the sporadic firelight lit up, and then, the firelight gathered, like a long river of light, flowing from east to west, and the sound was quite huge.

If it weren't for Yu Ban having just calmed the hearts of the army, this scene would have been enough to make the suspicious recruits fearful.

"General, what is the moth thief doing?" At first, they thought that the enemy was going to attack at night, but they didn't hear the sound of shouting and killing for a long time, and in the night, there was only the roar formed by the footsteps of countless people, rolling through like bursts of thunder.

"Withdraw the siege and march west!" Yu Ban did not hide it, and answered four words concisely.

The generals suddenly said: "No wonder they don't attack the city during the day, but they move back and forth in the camp......"

Some people also raised doubts: "But do they want to sell their backs to us like this?" The soldiers and horses of Laiwu City plus the reinforcements of Youzhou ......"

"The Yellow Turban Coach is not a scheming person, since he dares to do this, he should be somewhat sure, and the specific situation will be known when he sees it after dawn. Okay, let's go and rest first, let the brothers on duty be vigilant, this yellow scarf is quite cunning, and they must be prevented from repairing the plank road openly and Chen Cang in the dark. ”

"Whoa."

……

The next day, the generals of Mount Tai finally saw the situation outside the city clearly, at this moment, even the bravest, the most courageous generals, could not help but open their mouths wide, exclaimed: "God ......"

In the east of the city, where the original company camp was located, the continuous camp tents have disappeared without a trace, leaving behind not an empty flat land, but a huge trench!

It is said to be one, but in fact, it is formed by countless moats crisscrossing each other, and the whole is parallel to the southern city wall of Laiwu City, which extends from both sides of the Wen River to the northwest and southeast. Looking down from the top of the city, it was as if the god of heaven had slashed down with a sword to divide the land of Qilu.

At this moment, the trench array has not yet been fully formed, and countless people wrapped in yellow turbans are still busy, trying to dig more and deeper trenches.

Compared with the power of heaven and earth, the power of man is small and insignificant, but once there are a sufficient number of people who are determined to do one thing, the power of man will make the heaven and the earth change color!
