Chapter 169 Zhang Jiao Appears

They were on their way here in a hurry, and so was the great sage Zhang Jiao.

Just three days after Liu He and others set out, it was early in the morning, with a bright moon and few stars.

Among the loosely arranged camps, three people walked out of the tallest camp among them.

One of them looked at the sky and said to the man in the middle: "Brother, it's almost midnight, it's time to prepare to cook and break camp."

The leader was wearing a tattered cloth robe, with some Taoist symbols vaguely visible on it. His face was wrinkled and his face was weathered, but his eyes were still very bright.

"Third brother, how far is it from Changzi City?"

"Brother, there is only less than twenty miles to go back. My younger brother has found out that there are only more than two thousand defenders in the city. A few hours ago, although a group of officers and soldiers came from the direction of Huguan as reinforcements, they were only two or three

There are only a thousand people. Our army will press in and the city will be destroyed in a blink of an eye! This Changzi City is the seat of Shangdang County, and its richness is far beyond comparison with other small cities. We can take a good rest in the city, and then garrison Huguan to Huguan.

It's so dangerous, let's have a showdown with Huangfu Song!"

The man called Big Brother had firm eyes and drew his sword.

"Go down and make rice at Yinshi, and break camp and set off at three o'clock at Yinshi!"

At this time, another one of the three brothers said: "Brother, the three of my brothers traveled all the way, and the food supplies they needed all depended on the local government. It caused so many people's families to be destroyed. Brother, I... I really can't bear it..."

The eldest brother glared at him: "Woman's kindness! Since ancient times, one general has achieved great success and tens of thousands of bones have been withered. This big man's strength has been exhausted. We are responding to God's will and rebuilding the world. Some casualties are natural. What's the big deal?

!As long as this powerful Han Dynasty is overthrown and our brothers take charge of the world's magic weapon, the people will naturally have a good life. How can I guard against the great righteousness because of a small harm?"

The third brother who spoke first also chimed in: "Yes, second brother, those ignorant people know that my Taiping Dao trumpet is blowing, but they don't respond to us. Instead, they continue to be the ignorant people of the stupid court. They will die if they die."

Days are coming, this is their fate, no wonder we. Besides, our food is only enough for two or three more meals. If we don't get supplies, we will starve to death without the imperial court coming to fight."

The second brother seemed to be unable to think of any reason to refute. Besides, if this were not the case, there would be no source of food and grass supplies. It would be better for strangers to go hungry than to go hungry yourself.

"I don't know if that guy from Wulu succeeded in conquering Taiyuan County. It's been almost two months and there's still no news."

"Second brother, don't worry. Even if Jinyang City cannot be taken, Yu County and Langtiao County will definitely succeed. With the surname Yan liaising with the wealthy families in the city to act as an internal support, Wulu has an army of more than 8,000 people.

It's just a county town, how can we not capture it? As for Jinyang City, even if we cannot capture it, it will prevent them from deploying too many troops to surround us."

The third brother seemed very confident in this plan.

The eldest brother suddenly asked: "Wulu, don't worry about him for now. Is there any news from Yuanyi? Has Ye City been captured? I will give him five large forces. As long as Ye City is captured, I will march westward with my army."

If we join together, we may not be able to fight back against Huangfu Song. The imperial court is full of wimps, and only Huangfu Song, Zhu, and Lu Zhi are the most serious problems for our religion. Among the three, Huangfu Song has the most troops. As long as we destroy him, we will

The great teaching plan is just around the corner!”

"Back to brother, ten days ago, Ma Yuanyi sent a letter saying that he had surrounded Yecheng on all sides, and he should have succeeded by now. My younger brother has already written, ordering him to quickly send troops to help."

After hearing the third brother's report, the eldest brother seemed to be relieved.

After a long time, tens of thousands of people finally finished their meal.

The eldest brother got on his horse, raised his arms and shouted: "People of Huang Tian! Twenty miles ahead is Changzi City, the seat of Shangdang County! The people in the city are all the lackeys of today's mediocre court.

Their sins are too serious to be tolerated by Huang Tian! Today, our troops are here to follow Huang Tian's order to capture this city and use their blood to pay tribute to Huang Tian! I, Zhang Jiao, hereby give the order to capture the city.

, the money, food, and women in the city are all available to you, go ahead!"

These words made everyone who was originally a little depressed suddenly become like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb, their eyes glowed with green light.

"Kill! Kill everyone who is against Huang Tian!"

"For my glory and wealth, go for it!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted to kill and rushed out from the woods and grass, making the whole earth seem to start shaking.

On the city not far away, some soldiers fell scattered on the city wall. They were sleeping soundly, but the shouts of killing suddenly rang out, even though they were nearly twenty miles away, they woke up immediately.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

"Oops, the Yellow Turban rebels are coming!"

"It's still dark, why did they come to attack the city so early? Oh my God, there are so many people!"

"Quick, go and report to the prefect!"

One person was about to report, but he heard the sound of very hurried footsteps, and several people boarded the tower with anxious faces.

The leader looked at the large black area in the distance, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Oh my god...how many men and horses are there...it's too scary, how can this city be defended?"

"Master Taishou, you have to defend if you can't hold it. The governor's order said that if we hold on for a day no matter what, reinforcements will come. It also said that there will be a general named Guan who will lead the cavalry as the vanguard.

, will arrive today."

The prefect Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Yes, I almost forgot about this. The Yellow Turban rebels are all infantry and lack armor. It would be great if there are cavalry to attack them! Fortunately, the governor knew it well and asked us to mobilize the Huguan garrison yesterday.

Come back, otherwise it will be really dangerous right now."

Governor Zhao seemed to feel a little more at ease and drew his sword.

"Quick, cheer up the soldiers. We only need to hold this city for one day. When the reinforcements come, we will annihilate the enemy. When the time comes, our Zhao family will prepare food and wine to reward the soldiers!"

These days, nothing can be more effective than inviting people to a meal. Just saying these words really lifted the morale of the sergeants on the city wall.

Seeing that tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops had already rushed to the bottom of the city, Zhang Jiao shouted behind him.

"Huang Tian's people, delicacies, beauties, meritorious deeds, and lordships, all are here to fight. Follow me and charge forward!"

Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, like jackals and tigers, howled and rushed towards Changzi City.

Although Governor Zhao was also frightened and turned pale, he still resisted the urge to retreat.

"Shoot them with my bow and arrows! Hit them with rocks! Quick!"

Countless arrows flew in, and huge rocks fell from the city wall. In an instant, hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers were killed.

However, this did not cause any disturbance in this large army. The Yellow Turban Army came one after another, rushing over like a tide.

"Dong...dong..."

Zhang Bao personally commanded the soldiers, carrying a huge log and smashing the city gate.

Behind the city gate, the captain of Shangdang County waved his sword and directed more than a dozen soldiers to resist the city gate.

Zhang Jiao looked at the battle situation and shouted loudly: "Third brother, you lead an army of fifteen thousand people to attack the south gate. My second brother and I will continue to attack the south and east gate. There are few soldiers in the city. I don't believe they can defend it."

Stay here!"

"Here!"

Zhang Liang took the order, ordered fifteen thousand people, and headed towards the south gate.

Governor Zhao was shocked and quickly said to a man in armor beside him: "Oh no, they are attacking the south gate! Yesterday I ordered all the powerful men in the city to gather all the servants and servants at home and equip them with weapons. There were also four or five

Although a thousand people won't help, it's better than nothing. You should quickly take these people to guard the south gate!"

"Here!"

However, the disparity in numbers was too great. As the ladders approached the tower, the Yellow Turban Army formed black threads like swarms of ants and connected to the tower.

"Quick, pour the boiling oil on!"

Governor Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs.

Several large pots were opened towards the bottom of the city wall, and the boiled oil was seen sloping down like a waterfall. Suddenly, a burst of meat aroma came to the nostrils.

"ah……"

"It hurts so much...help me..."

Under the city wall, there were endless screams, but Zhang Jiao didn't care about it.

"Keep going up! Kill the governor and reward him with three measures of food. After overthrowing the Han Dynasty, he will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

The double temptation of food in front of them and the title of marquis in the future made the Yellow Turban Army's offensive become more fierce.

Zhao Taishou looked at everything in front of him and became anxious.
