Chapter 75 (Chapter 1 to ~!) )
Before the sun reached the top, the camp of the Yellow Turban Army besieging the county town was in an uproar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the center of the Yellow Turban Army, a pot of fragrant chestnut rice porridge was placed at the gate of the camp, and the fragrant smell could be said to make people drool, even the Yellow Turban Army who had already eaten it couldn't help but swallow their saliva, let alone the best refugees who were hungry and half-full (no typo, half-full) these days.
However, the old and weak and yellow turban thieves who began to gradually surround themselves were all dry and watchful at the temptation of this rare food, but no one dared to come forward to beg for food!
Joke!
That's a severed head!!
These days besieging the county town, everyone also knows that the old and weak only have two bowls of gruel mixed with wild vegetables, and the young and strong can add one more bowl, and then there are the Yellow Turban thieves who take refuge, and finally the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army can eat their stomachs.
Craving those fragrant chestnut rice porridges? That is, it is equivalent to the death row prisoner on the execution ground to enjoy the treatment of the severed head, and after eating a full meal of chestnut rice porridge, he will go to attack the city, and in the face of the ant-attached siege in the county town these days, more than 10,000 old and weak have been filled under the walls of the county town one after another, and now seeing this familiar scene, how many people dare to take the initiative to eat this bowl of decapitated rice?
Seeing that not many people took the initiative to step forward, a trace of unbearability flashed in the eyes of a Yellow Turban general in charge of this matter in the camp, and then he directly waved his hand to signal his subordinates to step forward and began to cooperate with each other with knives, guns and words!
"Listen, everybody!"
"Last night, the officers and soldiers burned half of the grain and grass, and those who want to eat will come out!"
"Conquer the county! Eat fragrant and drink spicy!"
"The heavens are dead! Huang Tian should stand! We are in peace, just for the sake of those who can't eat enough to raise the banner of righteousness, and now is the time for the big guys to contribute to the restoration of the yellow sky!"
"Hurry up! Don't grind ......."
The Yellow Turban Army, who had already had many experiences, did not hesitate to wave the knives and guns in their hands to drive out groups of old and weak people in the camp, and even shouted with incendiary words while driving people away.
After many old and weak people who were enduring hunger were forced by knives and guns, and several people who were unwilling to come forward were directly hacked to death on the spot, they had to come forward with cries and shouts, and were stuffed with a rough wooden bowl in their hands by the men arranged by the Yellow Turban Army, and then drank a bowl of chestnut rice porridge and began to assemble in the direction of the county town!
"You go too! Now that you've joined my Yellow Turban Army, let the general see your ambitions!"
Before the Yellow Turban thieves, who were much more fierce, had no time to gloat over this scene, they saw that the Yellow Turban Army also began to expel them from the battlefield and join the sequence of scenes where the ants were attached to the siege of the city.
The Yellow Turban Thieves, who were originally bandits, bandits and even the rebellious party, of course, not many people were willing to join the team to die, but unfortunately in the face of the Yellow Turban Army's unhesitating killing, the Yellow Turban Thieves who had killed hundreds of people began to be driven out, and they reluctantly looked at the Yellow Turban Army behind them, and reluctantly stood behind those old and weak.
For the time being, not many people have noticed that the number of cloud ladders sent down in their hands this time is much more than the previous ant-attached siege of thousands or thousands of people at a time!
"Siege !!"
When Bian Xi heard that the Yellow Turban Army on the other two sides had finished preparing, he began to order the siege of the city with a blank face.
In the sound of rumbling war drums, the Yellow Turban Army did not hesitate to expel the first batch of siege troops, and tens of thousands of ant-attached siege teams were driven and launched an attack towards the tall county town!
……
Outside the county town, dense arrows flew, with a screaming sound that tore through the air, fell like raindrops into the siege army of the Yellow Turban Army that rushed up with a desperate howl, and the splattered blood was like a poignant flower sprinkled on the ground, accompanied by a desperate scream, the Yellow Turban Army who rushed up was shot dead and wounded from time to time.
Even in the face of the threat of death at any time, the cannon fodder who were at most holding ladders did not dare to stop in the slightest, and rushed towards the county town despite casualties - the Yellow Turban Army that pressed the formation behind them also drove them to the county town without hesitation in killing!
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Don't let them rush near !!"
Looking at the miserable scene under the city, on the city wall in the direction of the main attack, Sima Beibu, who was the supreme commander of the county soldiers, shouted angrily without hesitation, and asked the defenders on the city wall to block the attacking enemy army.
There is no need to be reminded by Sima of other departments, all the county soldiers on the city wall, and the conscripted family members and young men are all shooting arrows outward.
At this time, there is no need to aim at all, Zhang Gong shoots arrows directly at the general direction of the Yellow Turban Army, and eight times out of ten, nine times out of ten, you can shoot one person!
However, the defenders on the city wall, none of them were happy, looking at the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops rushing up, rushing up against the continuous rain of arrows, and then when they set up a ladder on the city wall and tried to rush up, they all used the city defense facilities such as boiling water, sassal wood, and rolling stones at the fastest speed, and directly blocked the Yellow Turban Army's offensive under the city wall.
The Yellow Turban Army, which was driven forward to attack the city and only shouted slogans, only held out under the city walls for less than half an hour, and then retreated one by one, leaving behind more than 3,000 corpses and the seriously wounded who were dying and wailing!
It's a pity that before the defenders could catch their breath, the remaining Yellow Turban Army in the camp once again expelled thousands of old and weak people and launched an attack again!
The crazy and tragic ant-attached siege lasted until the afternoon, leaving more than 10,000 corpses and seriously wounded, and even the Yellow Turban Army was a little unable to suppress the old and weak and thieves.
At this time, listening to the news of the fierce battle on the city wall all day, the county guard of Donglai County, who was anxious but knew that he couldn't do anything and stayed in the county guard's mansion, hurriedly took people and rewarded meat to set off together, and went directly to the city wall facing the main camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and directly found Sima of the other department who was on the city gate, and pulled the other party to ask in a very low voice: "He Sima, why is the thief army's offensive so huge today?" Isn't it that the thief army is already desperate to take the county seat???"
The county guard's voice trembled slightly, but he was not afraid that he would be unlucky, but he was worried about the situation after the county town was breached!
The county guard, who has lived for almost sixty years, is already the age when he knows the destiny of heaven quickly and obediently, but his family is still in the county guard's mansion, not to mention the families, big families, merchants, and people in the city? If the county is really broken by the Yellow Turban Army, with the county guard's understanding of the Yellow Turban Army, his family will not be spared, and the people of the entire county will also suffer......
"Your Excellency!"
Seeing the county guard coming up in a hurry, the Sima surnamed He, who was paying attention to the Yellow Turban Army camp outside, was stunned for a moment, and then pulled the county guard to the window and explained in a low voice: "My lord, the thief army suddenly launched an offensive, and eighty percent of it was because the camp was attacked last night, and he was afraid that the siege would be relieved by the reinforcements that came one after another, so he was ready to fight to the death!"
Well, Sima of the other department also saw the situation of the Yellow Turban Army camp last night, but the situation was unknown and out of prudence, he had no idea of sending people out to rush out to rush out of the camp, only thinking that the reinforcements who arrived might attack the enemy camp at night.
Therefore, in the eyes of Sima of other departments, the crazy siege move made by the Yellow Turban Army today should be to take advantage of the possible arrival of reinforcements to break through the county town with human lives - the price of tens of thousands of lives has indeed put a lot of pressure on the defense of the county town, but it also proves the speculation of Sima of other departments!
"He Sima, what do you mean...... The siege of the thieves may not be sustainable?"
Hearing the meaning of Sima's words in the other departments, the county guard only grasped the most crucial point for him.
"I don't know the situation of the reinforcements outside, but the thief army was attacked by those reinforcements last night, and they must have a sense of urgency, otherwise they wouldn't have attacked like this today, but it's hard to say that the siege can't be maintained!"
Sima of the other department was not so sure, but judged based on his own knowledge and experience.
At least, Sima, who is now serving as the county soldier and the temporary commander of the city defense, is at least not as optimistic as the "famous general" Qin Duwei, and his ability is mediocre but he seems to be very careful, for the Yellow Turban Army who has already shown that he is not good at messing with the situation, he would rather overestimate the other party than treat the other party as a pig!
"So, what do you need? As long as you can defend the county seat, the old man will do his best to help you get it together!"
The county guard was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he couldn't judge the plan of the Yellow Turban Army, and the well-informed county guard didn't bother with this problem, and directly asked Sima from other departments what he could do to defend the county town.
"My lord, arrows, sasswood, and rolling stones are indispensable, and there are more young people who help defend the city."
Regarding the county guard's inquiry, Sima Spirit's head from other departments was also raised, and his face was a little anxious to point to the tragic battlefield outside, and he said very earnestly: "With the number of thieves, it is expected that they can attack for another one or two days, and the materials and soldiers must be guaranteed, otherwise it is really possible for the thief army to conquer the county city regardless of the casualties and use the tactics of ants to attack the city!"
"All of these are fine! As long as you block the thief army, everything is easy to say!"
With a wave of his hand, the county guard made a rare affirmative guarantee.
Thanks to the reputation of the Yellow Turban thieves for wanton killing and plundering, at least the families and big families in the county town of Donglai County are now supporting the county soldiers to defend the city without hesitation.
……
The next morning, the defenders of the county town, who had been preparing for the night nervously, were stunned to see the chaos of the Yellow Turban camp outside.
I saw that the Yellow Turban Camp that was still attacking the city with great momentum yesterday, but the people inside were all in chaos, and even the people on the county city wall paid attention to the past, and they could see that the entire camp was in a pot of porridge, and even from time to time someone was doing something in the camp, and the chaotic situation made the county guard and other Sima who had just stood on the city gate tower confused.
"He Sima, what is this?"
Trying to look at the chaotic Yellow Turban camp, the county guard looked at the other Sima beside him with some hesitation, and there was obvious confusion and incomprehension in his tone.
"My lord, I have ordered everyone to be on guard to prevent the thieves from playing any tricks!"
Sima of the other department also didn't know what was going on in the Yellow Turban camp opposite, but he still kept it the same to cope with the changes.
By the time the county town knew that yesterday the Yellow Turban Army had escorted all the old and weak and the thieves who had taken refuge into the battle, and had taken advantage of the so-called dispatch action last night and quietly escaped with their headquarters, it was already night!
