Chapter 52: An Unexpected Victory in the Night
As the night fell, the whole city was dark inside and outside, although it was not enough to reach out and lose five fingers, but the scenery of more than ten meters was already unclear.
Although he had never experienced a battle to defend the city, Wei Tao still made a plan to defend the city after some discussion with Zhang Liao.
On the surrounding walls alone, there were more than a dozen torches burning on each side, and soldiers patrolled back and forth on the city walls.
Moreover, Wei Tao even discussed with the county commander Huang Wen, and after nightfall, no non-patrol soldiers were allowed to roam the streets.
This is to prevent people from having internal and external barriers, and the inside should be combined with the outside.
However, when it was nightfall, there were still countless people surging in the dark night, but although there were torches on the city wall, the range of sight was not wide, and it was impossible to see clearly when it was not close to the front.
What's more, the moon stars were scarce, but they could barely distinguish the surrounding scenery, but at this time, I don't know why a heavy dark cloud shrouded the entire moonlight in it, and there was nothing visible under the moonlight.
"Good! Good! Sure enough, he is worthy of being an immortal envoy, and he actually has this method of driving away clouds. ”
"Hehe, this is the transmission of the great sage and good teacher, if the great sage and good teacher are there in person, why use such a small technique? The direct envoy thundered down in the nine days, and only one Chen Liucheng could turn his hands down. ”
There were small voices in the darkness, and if someone familiar heard it, they could know that one of them was Zhao Jie.
"Qu Shuai, wait for me to cast another spell to make it rain in the sky, so that Qu Shuai can get close to the city, and then everything will be left to Qu Shuai."
"Good!"
Hearing Zhao Jie's response, the Yellow Turban Messenger suddenly had words in his mouth for a while, and a slight drizzle fell.
The rain was not very heavy, at most it was just a few drops of water from the sky, but it still made the torches on the city wall dim, and the patrolling soldiers cursed secretly.
"The messenger is really good at spells!"
In Zhao Jie's eyes, this scene naturally became the transmission of the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao.
However, even if Wei Tao saw it, he would be a little skeptical, is there really any cloud-driving technique in this world, otherwise an ordinary Yellow Turban Messenger, where can he know what method of observing celestial phenomena, and it is just at this time?
"Crunch ......"
Just as the yellow turban touched the city wall and was about to set up a ladder to forcibly attack the city, the city gate was directly opened, and a team of people inside was ready to sneak out.
Suddenly, at first glance, people on both sides were slightly stunned.
However, compared to Zhao Jie, Wei Tao's reaction was faster, the Yellow Turban Army was going to steal the city!
In fact, tonight Wei Tao did not have the intention of sneaking up on the Yellow Turban camp, but wanted to use the cover of night to make a team of men and horses out of the city to ambush, if there is a battle tomorrow, then the Yellow Turban Army still dares to act like this, then Zhang Liao will directly lead people to raid the rear army, so as to lay the situation in one fell swoop!
"This is a yellow turban thief, kill!"
After realizing that what was in front of him was the enemy, Wei Tao suddenly drank suddenly, and then led everyone to kill the Yellow Turban Army first.
"Kill!"
That Zhao Jie may not be well-known in history, but I have to say that he does have some ability, and he also quickly came to his senses, and at the same time, he realized that if he could enter the city along the city gate at this time, it would be much more convenient than acting through the ladder.
But at this time, the difference between the two sides was seen, and under Wei Tao's order, all the soldiers flocked up, but those Yellow Turban soldiers couldn't react one by one, and even faintly panicked.
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
The weapons were handed over, and Wei Tao also wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, but unfortunately the night was dark at this time, although Wei Tao did not have night blindness, he could only barely distinguish the difference between the enemy and me, and he couldn't tell who was the leader of the other party at all.
Such a chaotic battle has a great advantage for the Yellow Turban Army.
Once it is recovered by the Yellow Turban Army, then with its numerical advantage, it may really be won by the other party.
"Formation, charge!"
Wei Tao immediately ordered again, and Wei Tao was preparing to ambush five hundred elites outside the city this time, including one hundred of the Wei family's sophisticated private soldiers.
And this time, all of these 100 private soldiers have already ridden horses and armor, and their strength is not the same.
"Kill!"
Wei Tao shouted an order, and suddenly a hundred cavalry roared out like a dragon, but all the obstacles in front of him were all bulldozed.
But in a moment, Wei Tao walked through the yellow scarf.
At this time, Wei Tao realized that the actual number of people was not as many as he imagined.
Immediately, he saw Wei Tao go around, and led the cavalry to charge around again, and entered the Yellow Turban Army.
"Damn cavalry!"
Zhao Jie's eyes were red when he saw Wei Tao leading people galloping back and forth, these yellow scarves that were brought by Zhao Jie for sneak attack were not the kind of yellow scarves that were recruited in a hurry, they were all trained, and they could already be regarded as the elite of the yellow turbans.
The death of one of these yellow turbans made Zhao Jie's heart ache more than the death of ten of those recruited to the yellow scarves.
"Kill! Fight your way into the city! ”
Under such circumstances, Zhao Jie shouted frantically, and under such shouts, the various Yellow Turban soldiers finally rushed towards the city gate.
"Kill!"
However, the guard at the gate of the city was none other than Dian Wei, seeing countless yellow turbans rushing in, Dian Wei was not afraid at all, and he also roared, dancing the double halberd in his hand, and every time it fell, it was immediately a human life.
Dian Wei, the evil of the ancients.
Even if it's just one person, no one can break through the gates.
If it is a well-equipped army, it can also kill and damage such as arrows, but for the Yellow Turban Army, it can only be filled with human lives, and the only purpose is to leave a scar on Dian Wei's body as much as possible.
But Dian Wei is not without the assistance of soldiers behind him, with the assistance of these soldiers, it is impossible to break through the encirclement in a short period of time.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that Zhang Liao, who had left as soon as the battle began, had once again led the soldiers to support, Zhao Jie's heart suddenly became gloomy.
Is it impossible to retreat again, with the protection of great sages and good teachers, why can't you always win?
No matter how Zhao Jie believes in Zhang Jiao on weekdays, at this time, he also has a feeling of collapse of faith.
"Boom!"
Before Zhao Jie could order a retreat, he suddenly saw that there was a fire in the Yellow Turban camp for no reason.
Originally, the Yellow Turban Dao was a believer, and after seeing the fire in his own camp, what he thought was not that someone had set it on fire, but that God would punish him.
"The Yellow Turban Camp has fallen, and you won't surrender until when!"
Wei Tao didn't know who was still setting fire to the Yellow Turban camp, but when he saw the flames, Wei Tao seized the opportunity to shout.
"Those who surrender on their knees are not to blame in the past, and those who resist stubbornly will be killed!"
Originally, one of the major weaknesses of the Yellow Turban Army was that its morale was not high, and if it was in a frenzy, it was naturally not afraid of anything, but when it was sober, it was extremely easy to be broken.
"I surrender...... I surrender ......"
Sure enough, many yellow scarves immediately knelt down and fell.
Seeing this, Zhao Jie also knew that the general trend of the road had gone, and glanced at Wei Tao who was charging forward hatefully, and immediately led his relatives to break through.
Although Wei Tao couldn't tell Zhao Jie's actions from the crowd, Zhao Jie was not so lucky, just as he led the people to rush out of the encirclement, he saw a team of people rushing out of his own camp.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, Zhao Jie couldn't react at all, a cold light flashed, and suddenly saw Zhao Jie's head flying straight up.
With Zhao Jie's obstruction, Wei Tao also found out that someone was coming.
Although the other party was not like the enemy, Wei Tao still hurriedly gathered his army and waited for it, and at the same time ordered the city gate to be closed.
"Who's coming?"
After doing all this, Wei Tao turned around.
"In Xia Chen Liuwei Tao, the Yellow Turban bandits dared to attack Chen Liu, and now the county order has ordered me to guard Chen Liu, in charge of all affairs. If you are the enemy of the yellow scarf, please pass through! ”
However, the other party obviously did not mean to be the enemy, and when they approached the city of Chenliu County, the speed of each soldier had slowed down greatly, and it was not until Wei Tao had prepared the team that a small group of people stepped forward immediately.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Sure enough, it's Ziyu! ”
What Wei Tao didn't expect was that as soon as the other party stepped forward, someone laughed and said.
"Ziyu is doing a good job now, and he is much stronger than us!"
Wei Tao looked at it fixedly, and immediately smiled, among the four people in front of him, there were two people who were his acquaintances, Cao Ren and Cao Hong.
"It turned out to be two big brothers, I don't know why Brother Lu Dao came?"
Seeing that it was these two people, Wei Tao immediately lowered his guard, made a gesture, and said with a smile after letting everyone lift their guard.
"I think the fire in the Yellow Turban camp just now was caused by the two brothers? Thanks to the help of my two brothers, I would have been self-defeating this time. ”
"Ha Lu Ha...... Ziyu is too modest, in fact, this time it is thanks to Miaocai and Yuan Rang, and I just fought with Zixiao. ”
In front of Wei Tao, Cao Hong, as always, has always been a big grin, but when he heard his words, Wei Tao was stunned again.
Miaocai, Yuan Rang?
Are these two sturdy and burly men Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao's right-hand men who will conquer the world in the future?
"Miaocai, Yuan Rang, this is Wei Tao and Wei Ziyu that Meng De mentioned many times. It has done a lot of work in northern Xinjiang, if it weren't for Ziyu, I'm afraid that this Chenliu county town would have already fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban bandits. When the time comes, our situation will be even worse. ”
Hearing Cao Hong and Cao Ren's introductions, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were a little impressed by Wei Tao.
With such a mistake, it was much easier for the two sides to talk.
However, although Zhao Jie died, the yellow scarf was still there, so Wei Tao didn't dare to stay outside the city any longer, but he still ordered Zhang Liao to lead people to ambush outside, and Chen Liujun City was in a corner.
Seeing Wei Tao's orderly order, Cao Ren and the four couldn't help but nod their heads in approval.
