Chapter 47: The Crusade against the Yellow Turbans (8)
"It's okay, without further ado, let's get going!" Lu Zhi said.
"Yes!"
Outside Wancheng, the Yellow Turban Camp stretched for several miles, and four big flags were raised. On the highest banner, a white flag has four big characters written on it: "Avenge the division". The three yellow flags next to it, "Zhao", "Han", and "Sun", are the three leading commanders of this yellow scarf. Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Zhong.
In the camp, Zhao Hong sat in the first place, "Two junior brothers, this Wancheng was an important town to communicate with Jingzhou before, and the defense was really tight, if you want to capture it, you must do your best! ”
Han Zhong nodded, "Senior Brother is right! Although we don't have Yellow Turban wrestlers, we also have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, as long as we promise great benefits, those homeless people and bandit troops will naturally do their best!"
Sun Zhong said, "If you want me to say, use the secret method to directly break the other party's city gate!"
Zhao Hong and Han Zhong thought for a moment or two, and nodded, "Then that's it!" Before the failure of Bocai and the destruction of Guangzong City, it was a very serious blow to them. They need to take a city as soon as possible to give themselves a sense of security, and those bandits, who only know the finances, need enough captures to stabilize their morale.
On the second day, the Yellow Turban siege was fierce, and the Wancheng defender was seriously injured by Zhao Hong with a secret method, Han Zhong and Sun Zhong worked together to break the city gate with a secret method, and the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, and Wancheng was broken.
At this moment, Sun Meng followed Liu Bei and the three of them and 5,000 men and horses to hurry up in the starry night, and there was Lu Zhi's order, and the city he crossed had grain and grass supplies and passage permissions, so he rushed to the outside of Wancheng within half a month, and found a plain at the foot of the mountain and stationed down.
Although it has been more than ten days since the Yellow Turban Army broke through Wancheng, the city is still not completely controlled by them. It was only because an old man whose spiritual cultivation had reached the level of a grandmaster that he surrounded a corner of Wancheng with a large array.
No matter how many yellow scarves come in, they will be dizzy, either killing each other, or getting lost and getting out of the big formation by themselves, in short, it is not even clear how many people are inside. If it weren't for the fact that the old man would appear every day, half-floating in the formation clouds like an immortal, they wouldn't know who did it.
"Zhao Dashuai, you are like a solution! The people in there keep coming out to harass the brothers, making us uneasy. A lot of my brothers have been killed!" said one of the bandit leaders. They don't believe in Taiping, they only believe in fists and money. Now the enemy's means are obviously not something they can deal with, so only the high apprentice who leaves it to the great sage and good teacher can solve it!
"Okay, let's go down and rest! Arrange the manpower realm at night, don't always think about drinking wine and eating meat! The officers and soldiers may arrive at some time!" Zhao Hong glared at the man.
When the leader of the bandit army saw Zhao Hong's temper, he knew that even if he said that there was no better result now, he arched his hand and walked out quickly.
Han Zhong and Sun Zhong walked in, their faces were still a little pale, their strength was too poor, even if they used the secret technique plus the medicine given by Zhang Jiao before, they were seriously injured.
"That guy is here to let us make a move!" Han Zhong said.
"Hmph! I saw that the money and grain ran faster than anyone else, and when I encountered a little danger, he shrank faster than anyone else! If I want to say that I have to find a reason to kill him, otherwise those bandits will be in chaos sooner or later. Sun Zhong said.
"Okay, they're not very good, but how can they be said to be the current comrades, if the officers and soldiers come, they will have to rely on their efforts!" Zhao Hong said, "How is the city gate?"
Han Zhong "No, it can't be completely restored to the previous level, unless 3,000 people are separated to recuperate day and night, and it will take half a year to see the effect." "Their secret techniques are really useful, but the after-effects are also a big problem.
"Then set up camp outside the city! In addition, you should also go and see what the maze is, there is such a place in the city that is not under control, let alone soldiers, even I am not at ease!" Zhao Hong said.
Outside the city at this moment, Liu Bei and the others listened to the scout's report and roughly understood the current situation in Wancheng.
"The gate of Wancheng is not as strong as before, and those yellow turban thieves will definitely go out of the city and station part of it to defend it. When the time comes, we will attack them with the strength of cavalry, and we will definitely make them chaotic, as long as someone enters the city at this time, they can kill the three Yellow Turban thieves, and the city can be broken in one fell swoop!" Liu Bei said and looked at Sun Meng.
Sun Meng nodded, "Leave this matter to me!" Not to mention that he is a little stronger than Guan Zhang, just by his appearance, it is easier for him to enter it, let alone sneak attack on the three Yellow Turban generals whose strength is perfect.
In the city, shrouded in a large array, many civilians who had been rescued here were depressed and found a random place to sit. Only a handful of young men have become the soldiers who defend the area, and outside a woodcarving shop, two teams of soldiers are changing shifts.
Inside the store, more than a dozen of the city's original heads and faces were sitting in their seats, looking at the girl who was less than ten years old with nervous expressions. It was she who, after the Yellow Turban Thieves entered the city before, activated the formation left by her father to protect everyone.
However, she is too young and her mental power is limited, and every time she uses the effect of the large array, she will be unconscious for a while.
She had just repelled a wave of Yellow Turban soldiers, and she fainted again.
An old man next to him hurriedly held her up, and sighed, "Ugly!" He looked at his daughter, and was even more ashamed in his heart, why couldn't he comprehend the mystery in that heavenly book, and now let his daughter bear this pressure, she is only six years old!
You must know that at this time, people calculate their age according to their virtual age, and some people even have two virtual years old, and the real age of this girl with some pale yellow hair is just five years old.
"Huang Lao, this is the last medicinal herb, what should we do after that!" a person took a bag of medicinal herbs and handed it to this Huang Lao. The other party is not only the father of this girl, but his own reputation and strength are not bad, otherwise how could he be dominant in the face of so many family talkers?
"If I want to say, just drive those civilians out, if there weren't too many of them, Miss Huang wouldn't be like this!" said a family member, but his eyes looked at Miss Huang with a look of greed. Even if the inheritance of this Miss Huang can't be taken away, as long as you marry her at that time, it won't be the same!
"Okay, don't say this kind of thing, if you drive them out, they will inevitably fall into the hands of those yellow turban thieves, isn't this sending them to death? I'm going to take the little girl to rest, you can do it yourself!" After saying that, Huang Lao carried his daughter into the inner room.
The people outside also retreated, but after exchanging glances at each other, they left here and walked into another relatively secret room.
Failed to destroy that formation again, and Han Zhong and Sun Zhong's injuries were somewhat aggravated. However, it was not completely unrewarding, they found that this formation seemed to be something that a disciple of their level could learn from Senior Brother Bocai!
Zhao Hong sighed, "In that case, it's good to send some soldiers to guard over there." Now it is mainly outside the city, and I take some of my soldiers out to camp to prevent the surprise attack of the official army. The affairs of the city will be handed over to the two junior brothers. ”
Han Zhong and Sun Zhong nodded, they naturally wouldn't hold Zhao Hong back in this kind of matter. Doing so will only hurt everyone in the end.
The scout reported that the Yellow Turban had left the city and set up camp.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up, now is a good time!"Brother Sun, second brother and third brother, quickly reorganize the army, and break the yellow scarf at this time!"
Zhao Hong led the army out of the city and camped two miles away from Wancheng, after all, the purpose of his coming out was to protect the area of the city gate, not to really come out to camp.
However, as soon as the construction of the camp began, a shaking sound was heard from the ground.
"It's the sound of horses' hooves! Why did the officers and soldiers come so fast!" A trace of bad feeling flashed in Zhao Hong's heart, and he quickly came to the camp gate with the people of the headquarters.
"Liu Zi Daqi, who is this?" Zhao Hong saw the faint banner in the smoke and dust, and his heart was even more puzzled, and he passed down the order, and the army formed a formation, and the clouds were running, waiting for the other party's attack.
On Liu Bei's side, Sun Meng had already changed into the dress of an ordinary soldier, looking at the enemy formation, and Zhao Hong was locked by him at a glance. The voice was transmitted to Liu Bei, who nodded and shouted
"The heavenly soldiers have arrived, and the thieves have not surrendered quickly!"
