Chapter 1002: Zhou Cang

Wu Zhao walked in front of Wang Gang, looking ashamed and in a very bad mood.

"General, there is an ambush in front of you, rolling down a boulder from the top of the hillside, I didn't notice it for a while, and even the soldiers were injured, please punish the general"

Wang Gang looked at Wu Zhao, who was usually arrogant, and also showed such an expression, I'm afraid it's not as simple as not noticing it for a while, there must be other changes in the middle, since Wu Zhao doesn't want to say it, then forget it.

"How many people are on the other side, have they ever fought each other?"

"The enemy has. . . There are three or four hundred people, who have already fought each other, this is very strange for these people, shuttling through the mountains and forests, the black-faced man in the lead is even more powerful, and a pair of legs is faster than a war horse."

After Wu Zhao finished speaking depressedly, he glanced at Wang Gang cautiously.

Wang Gang also fell into deep thought, the entire Hongxian County is surrounded by mountains, if there are hundreds of soldiers who are good at mountain warfare, it is really a headache, Fan Chong also asked some questions, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"General, this place is less than five miles away from Hongxian County, so it's better to rush to the county seat as soon as possible in case of accidents."

"Let's go"

Although it is a bit wasteful to use military tactics now, but for the sake of safety, it is still necessary to start a rapid march and sprint towards the county seat of Hongxian County, and sure enough, there is not much advance, there are rolling wires falling on the mountain, Wu Zhaohu is by Wang Gang's side, and when the soldiers rushed through the valley, there were nearly 100 people injured, fortunately, these soldiers were relatively elite, and none of them died in it.

When Wang Gang led the soldiers to arrive at the city gate of Hongxian County, the besieging Yellow Turban soldiers had also retreated, and there were countless corpses of the Yellow Turban soldiers under the city wall, as well as blood stains that had not dried up.

Liu Bi in the city saw Wang Gang coming, and his heart settled down a lot, they were annoyed by these Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city, although everyone also wanted to know before, only after the real battle found out the gap, they were trapped in Hongxian County, unable to advance or retreat, as long as they dared to go out of the city, they were endlessly harassed.

Wang Gang took the soldiers into the city and took over the city defense, thinking that the soldiers in the city would go down to rest for the time being, Liu Bi and Guan Hai also came to Wang Gang's camp and reported the events of the past few days.

"Are you sure it's Zhou Cang who takes the lead?"

"The last general is sure, I have long heard that there is a group of soldiers under Zhou Cang who are good at mountain warfare, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

"How many soldiers are there under Zhou Cang?"

"There are two or three thousand ordinary soldiers, and the most special ones are five hundred."

After Liu Bi finished speaking, waiting for Wang Gang's fall, he wanted to lead the troops out to get some credit, but he didn't expect to run into Zhou Cang, a mourning star, for the first time, and he didn't know what General Anton would do with him.

"How much do you know about Zhou Cang," Wang Gang asked after a moment's thought.

"Zhou Cang, although his martial arts are not top-notch, he is good at training soldiers and is friendly. Among the yellow scarves, there is a good name, and it is very important."

After listening to Liu Pi's words, Wang Gang fell into deep thought, this Zhou Cang is similar to the one in history, see if he can find a way to surrender.

"General Anton, why don't you call the Holy Maiden over, that Zhou Cang has always wanted to worship under the Heavenly Master, but he has no chance, if he hears that the Holy Maiden is here, he will definitely come to serve" Liu Bi saw that Wang Gang did not speak, and said carefully.

"The saint's body is still very weak and she can't travel for a long time, and if the news of the saint's presence spreads and is used by someone with a heart, it will bring trouble to the saint at that time."

Wang Gang vetoed Liu Bi's proposal, and now the court doesn't know that there is a saint, if it does, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

"You go down and rest first, and practice the soldiers diligently these days."

Liu Bi and Guan Haicai left in a huff, although Wang Gang didn't blame them, but it was always uncomfortable to lose the battle.

On the second day, Zhou Cang came to the city gate with two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers, looked at the elite soldiers on the city wall, and lost the courage to attack the city. But he didn't want to be powerful, standing under the city wall, looking at Wang Gang on the city wall coldly, and his mouth kept scolding.

Wu Zhao at the gate of the city is ready, as long as Zhou Cang dares to order the siege of the city, he will lead two hundred cavalry to rush out, but Zhou Cang seems to know, that is, he is insulting under the city, that is, he does not attack the city, and Wu Zhao gritted his teeth angrily, but he was helpless.

"Zhou Cang, if you rely on a few hundred thieves, you can do whatever you want"

Wang Gang couldn't stand Zhou Cang's babbling and scolding below, and opened his mouth to scold.

Zhou Cang laughed a few times and pointed to Wang Gang on the city wall and said.

"Mao thief, then you should go out of the city to fight"

"When you go out of the city, you ran away early......" Liu Pi pointed at Zhou Cangqi and gritted his teeth.

"Repeated villains, even dare to come out and speak"

Zhou Cang was dismissive of Liu Pi.

Wang Gang saw that Zhou Cang had no intention of attacking the city, and ordered Wu Zhao to rush out to see if he could frustrate the morale of the yellow turbans outside the city, but Zhou Cang saw the city gate open, and before Wu Zhao rushed to the front, he turned around and fled to the mountains with his soldiers.

"This Zhou Cang is really hateful" Wu Zhaoqi was not light, he was teased yesterday, and he couldn't get back to the scene today.

"Liu Bi, you and Guan Hai will continue to advance towards Xiangxian with their soldiers, take Xiangxian, and see what tricks he can play in Zhoucang" Wang Gang couldn't think of any good way, so he could only take Xiangxian County, the governing place of Peiguo, first.

On the second day, Wang Gang left hundreds of archers to defend the city, followed the Yellow Turban Army led by Liu Pi with spearmen, and headed towards Xiangxian, not caring about Zhou Cang at all, just wanting to be prepared when advancing, and it was impossible for hundreds of people to make big waves.

Zhou Cang saw Wang Gang leave with his soldiers, and wanted to take Hongxian first, but he was shot by hundreds of archers on the city wall, and gritted his teeth angrily.

I could only give up Hongxian and chase after Wang Gang. Hongxian is less than two hundred miles away from Xiangxian, if you march quickly, you can arrive in four days, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and you have not been able to see the shadow of Xiangxian for five days, Zhou Cang also chased up, but there are only small mounds left in the mountains here, and Zhou Cang did not dare to rush forward, just followed the back of the team, wanting to find an opportunity to sneak attack.

Wang Gang put Wu Zhao's soldiers at the back of the team, as long as Zhou Cang dared to approach, Wu Zhao led the cavalry to rush and kill for a while, Wuzhou finally found a little field, and then went forward, it was the East Henan Plain, it was not easy to see a mountain, and Zhou Cang's skills were completely useless.

The counties along the way saw so many people coming. Coupled with Liu Bi's persuasion, they also surrendered one after another, until Xiangxian, they did not experience a major war, but Pei Yuanshao, the current Yellow Turban Qu Marshal in Xiangxian, gathered more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and prepared to defend Xiangxian to the death.

Xiangxian as the seat of Pei County, the city wall is also very high, there is a moat outside, if you want to attack, I am afraid it is not easy, Wang Gang sent people to attack for a day, injured hundreds of soldiers of the Yellow Turban, but none of them climbed the city wall.
