Chapter 257: Salt Pond

Before dawn, there was a rumbling war drum outside the city, and Dong Zhong climbed up with a spirit, and now he was used to this kind of day, and he was woken up by the war drums every morning. Dong Zhong put on his armor and came to the city wall, where he saw a group of black and oppressive yellow turban soldiers rushing towards the city wall, holding a variety of weapons in their hands and wearing yellow scarves on their heads.

Dozens of soldiers carried the ladder, heavy on the city wall, then swarmed towards the city to climb, the guards above began to fight back, the rolling stone and the wood kept throwing down, and more than a dozen people joined forces, with a special iron gun to push the ladder to, suddenly a row of yellow turban soldiers fell from the sky, but fortunately, the city wall is not high, fall to the ground will not be killed, but this is often the beginning of the pain, struggling to escape from the battlefield, but was hit hard again by the soldiers who fell from above.

There are also some lucky people who successfully climbed the city wall, but they stabbed a few spears head-on, and they didn't have time to scream, so they died with a whimper. The contact of the hand-to-hand soldiers caused casualties on the city walls. Fortunately, there were not many people on the city wall, and the defenders of the city wall could barely cope with it, and the battle lasted from dawn to noon, and with the clanging sound, the yellow turban soldiers receded like a tide.

"Count the casualties and prepare the defense materials" With Dong Chong's order, hundreds of people began to carry stones and wood to the city wall, throwing the enemy's corpses off the city wall, and carrying the wounded defenders down the city wall for healing.

And on the mountain road not far away, a group of more than 1,000 Qing soldiers hid in the woods, this is Guan Yu, who finally arrived at Dongyuan County at noon after a night of hurrying.

"What's the situation?" Guan Yu hurriedly asked when he saw the sentry sent to investigate coming back.

The sentry turned over and dismounted, saluted, and spoke.

"Back to the general, the Yellow Turban soldiers have temporarily given up the siege and are burying the pot to make food, do we want to take advantage of the situation to rush and kill?"

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"After a long march, it is not advisable for the soldiers to immediately charge into battle, give the order to go down and rest for half an hour"

When the cavalry heard this, they dismounted their horses, took out dry rations from their military bags, and gnawed them vigorously. In fact, Guan Yu also knew that now was the best opportunity to rush and kill, but the cavalry he led had just formed an army, and he didn't dare to take risks.

Half an hour passed, and the Yellow Turban soldiers in the distance began to attack the city again, shouting and screaming from miles away. Guan Yu turned over and got on the horse, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted.

"Sons, kill with me"

Dongyuan County, located in the plain, only near the north and Shangdang County bordering the place has a Wangwu Mountain, which is the mountain that was dug by Yugong in later generations, and the east is a little low hills, with some bushes on it. At this moment, the rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and the Yellow Turban soldiers besieging the city couldn't help but turn their heads and look in the direction of the bushes, only to see a black spot, which was slowly enlarged until the figure of the cavalry was revealed.

A military general who rushed to the front, wearing black armor and holding a glaive knife, the sound was like thunder, and the anger was like a bell, and he rushed straight to the middle of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the glaive knife slashed down, splitting the Yellow Turban generals who blocked the way into two halves, and the blood flew in the air for a long time.

The Yellow Turban general was shocked when he saw a cavalry suddenly come out, and hurriedly wanted to send a force to intercept it. Shouted.

"Stop these cavalry"

The general's voice successfully attracted Guan Yu's attention, only to see Guan Yu pull the reins and rush towards the yellow turban general.

The Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to block it, only to see Guan Yu's long knife flying, or chopping or chopping, but no one could stop his move, like a tiger entering the flock, and in a blink of an eye, he killed the distance of thirty steps of the Yellow Turban general.

I saw Guan Yu's glaive knife lifted upward, and disappeared from the spot strangely, and a ripple appeared in the space, and the next moment the long knife had appeared on the chest of the Yellow Turban general. The glaive blade flipped over, and a huge human head flew into the air, and Guan Yu's figure only appeared in front of the Yellow Turban General's horse.

Exclusive: Flash. Instantly appears in front of the target, and the next attack has a heavy attack effect, and the maximum travel distance is 30 steps. It cannot be reused within two months.

The Yellow Turban soldiers only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and their own generals moved their heads. Stunned on the spot, a group of cavalry took advantage of the situation to rush forward, and in just one shot, hundreds of people died under the war horses.

"Don't fall in love with the battle, rush to kill in a roundabout way" Guan Yu saw that a cavalry stopped to assassinate the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still in a daze, and scolded sharply.

Guan Yu's reprimand worked, and the cavalry urged the war horse again, kept rushing forward to kill, and directly killed the Yellow Turban camp, and directly rushed out of hundreds of steps before turning the horse's head again and rushing towards the Yellow Turban soldiers.

"Run, run" The Yellow Turban soldiers reacted and hurriedly scattered and fled.

Guan Yu led the cavalry to cover and kill all the way, and only then could he stop killing at the foot of Wangwu Mountain. There were also hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers who threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Dong Zhong looked at the scene outside the city wall, he had a big mouth, and he didn't close it for a long time, this cavalry was too easy to deal with the Yellow Turban soldiers, and a charge would kill the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Waiting for Guan Yu to return with his troops, Dong Zhong hurriedly walked down the city wall, came to the city gate, and asked.

"General Xie rescued, I don't know what the general is called" After speaking, he arched his hand.

"The last general, Guan Yu, on the order of General Zhenbei, came to support" Guan Yu turned over and dismounted, and saluted Dong Zhong with a fist.

"General Zhenbei can be in the army" Dong Chong looked left and right, but did not find Wang Gang's figure.

"General Wang leads the army behind, and it will arrive tomorrow"

"General Naguan will enter the city with the general."

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

In the Anyi County Yazhong of Hedong County, Guo Dazheng was discussing the war in Dongyuan County with a young man, if Wang Gang was here, he would definitely be startled, this young man was the second son of the Wei family who could not get Cai Yan at that time, Wei Jiao, Wei Zhongdao.

Since the Yellow Turban soldiers captured Anyi County, as a famous family in the entire Han Dynasty, the Wei family is a great disaster, originally a big family like the Wei family will definitely be slaughtered by the Yellow Turban Army, but it is the second son of the Wei family who protects the entire Wei family.

Just when the Yellow Turban soldiers attacked the city, Wei Qi led two thousand private soldiers, seized the city gate, and directly surrendered the city, which led to the Hedong Governor Niu Fu was almost captured, and only led a dozen personal guards to flee to Luoyang, and Wei Qi also became Guo Da's guest, not only the Wei family's property was preserved, but also let Wei Qi make the Anyi County Order.

There is a lake fifty miles southeast of Anyi County, this lake is called Yanchi, as the name suggests, this is a saltwater lake. Salt was a very important resource in ancient times, and the government was always responsible for the management, but the Yan Chi was actually managed by the Wei family, which allowed the Wei family to gather hundreds of millions of family wealth and become a famous businessman in the entire Han Dynasty.
