Chapter 194: Fighting the Yellow Turbans Again
Outside the Yinguan City, sand and dust were rolling. Prefect Ye and Junzhu Jing looked at the city tower and turned pale, sweating profusely, and their hands were holding them tightly.
"Emperor Liu Du, this thief enemy..."
"Prince, please be careful. These people are obviously not Xianbei cavalry. They have yellow cloth straps on their heads and various weapons in their hands. They should be remnants of the Yellow Turbans."
"The remnants of the Yellow Turbans? Are they here to avenge that horn?"
Liu He frowned: "Mr. Jing's guess is not unreasonable. But now it is useless to think about it. Our army has as many as 80,000. The Yinguan City is high and deep, with sufficient food and grass. Although the enemy has a lot of troops, we are not afraid at all."
Ye Wang and Jing Xin seemed to have turned the corner, and their faces gradually returned to rosy.
After the Yellow Turban Army rushed to the city, a man riding a horse walked in front of the formation.
The man held up his axe and pointed to the city tower, shouting: "Who is Liu He? Come out and answer!"
"Mr. Liu is here! Who else dares to gather people to rebel under the name of Taiping Dao? Are you not afraid of killing the nine clans?"
The man suddenly laughed when he heard Liu He's words.
"Hahaha! What is it about under the name? I am the commander of Qu Niujiao under the seat of the great wise and good teacher! I was ordered to recruit rebel troops north of Jizhou. For several months, our army has swept across Changshan and Zhongshan, and wherever we pass, we are invincible. We are trying to raise the banner of righteousness and join forces with the great wise and good teacher to overthrow this stupid court. I don't expect that the great wise and good teacher will be harmed by you and other villains. Today, we will lead a large army to take your dog head and sacrifice to me Huang Tian!"
"If you know the truth, quickly open the city gate and tie yourself up and throw yourself into the city, you may avoid the death of your family and the people in the city. Otherwise, the city will be destroyed just a moment, and no one will stay!"
"Zhang Niujiao?" Liu He remembered this name.
This guy was one of the 36 commanders of Taiping Road. Shortly after Zhang Jiao's death, he established himself as a general, recruited soldiers, absorbed bandits and bandits from all over the world. His strength grew rapidly and he also brought Chu Yan, who later Zhang Yan's power into one place, known as the Black Mountain Army. At its peak, he had 500,000 and 600,000 troops and was rampant in Hebei for two weeks. Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, such a hero in his lifetime, could not do anything to him.
"Hmph, if it were you a year later, I might be afraid of three points. Now you are just this kind of force and dare to come to seek death. Just let me borrow your knife to train soldiers."
Liu He thought quickly in his mind, and then shouted to the city: "The three brothers Zhang Jiao are not my opponents. The so-called Yellow Turban Army commander who died at Liu's hands, I don't know how many people there are, but not more than you, and less than you. Since you come to fight for death, I will fulfill you!"
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Shoot me an arrow!"
Zhang Niujiao was furious: "Shu Zi is so brave! Rush into the city and capture the culprit who killed the great wise and good teacher alive! Kill!"
Forty or fifty thousand people rushed towards the city wall.
Liu He took the weapon and shouted: "Those who have made meritorious contributions in this battle have rewards for merit, and they are also considered the ranking of martial arts competitions! Leave 15,000 people to defend the city, and the rest follow me and rush out!"
Liu He, Guan Yu and others rushed down the city tower, and Cui Jun stayed on the city wall.
The city gate was wide open, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was about to hit the door at the door, was the first to be hit and instantly submerged in the army of Liu He and others.
Zhang Niujiao waved his axe and shouted, "I dare to rush out of the city and die by myself. I'm worried that I won't catch you. Good things come!"
He was about to rush out when a general next to him suddenly pulled him away.
"General, please wait! Things are wrong!"
Zhang Niujiao looked back at the man impatiently and asked, "Liu He and his men left the city by themselves. As long as they seized them and avenged the great wise and good teachers, I can become the new leader of Taipingdao legitimately. At that time, my teachings will be in the world's millions of religious people, and once I overthrow the old dynasty, I will be the emperor's honor! What's wrong with such a good opportunity?"
This guy was so obsessed with greed at this time. Although he was talking to the man, his eyes were staring at Liu He and others in the distance.
"Oh General, haven't you noticed that there are far more than 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers under Liu He's tent?"
Zhang Niujiao was stunned and glanced at the battlefield. He seemed to have discovered this. The original indomitable momentum suddenly became cold.
"Well? The city guards and the large army that rushed out had a total of more than 50,000. It shouldn't be true. Didn't the letter from the king say that Liu He only brought 30,000 to 40,000 troops to Yanmen, and most of the original border troops in Yanmen County were occupied by local tyrants to make private military divisions? Why did he have so many troops!"
"Maybe the information of the king's surname is wrong, or maybe he did it on purpose. After all, he is a person in the court. Which of these ministers in the court is credible? I can't control so much now. Although Liu He is abominable, his military training methods are really extraordinary. Let's look at the current situation of the war, it will be completely unfavorable to our army!"
Zhang Niujiao looked at the battle situation ahead from a distance. In fact, only a small number of the Yellow Turban Army under his command were the Taiping Taoist sects, and most of them were refugees and bandits who were later absorbed. Not only did they lack military armor, but their fighting will was also completely incomparable to the elite sects under the sects of the great wise and good teachers.
Such a unit that is not much stronger than a plate of loose sand, naturally faced no surprise when it met Liu He, a well-trained, well-trained regular army with good weapons and good command.
In just a moment, thousands of people had fallen under the city wall and on the battlefield, and most of them were soldiers under Zhang Niujiao.
"Zhang Niujiao stops!"
Liu He shouted far away in the direction where Zhang Niujiao was.
In addition to Guan Yu leading the cavalry to encircle the other gate, the remaining four brothers fought together at this time, charging forward with the bravery of the four, leading the army behind them to sweep the Yellow Turban Army in front of them at an extremely fast speed, making the distance between Liu He and Zhang Niujiao and others getting closer and closer.
The man next to Zhang Niujiao was anxious and pulled him up and urged: "General, please order the withdrawal of troops quickly! We have contacted Chu Yan. He still has more than 30,000 troops in his hand. It will not be too late to find a way to attack after we join forces!"
It would be fine if he didn't say this, but he said it at this time, but instead made the horn more determined.
"No! If the great contribution is right in front of you today, how can you miss it in vain? I have never contacted Chu Yan, who knows whether he also has a desire for the position of leader? At that time, wouldn't he cause trouble for this contribution with me?"
The man wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Zhang Niujiao: "Okay! If Liu He is holding onto the city, with his military strength, I have no other way except to retreat. But since he ran out of the city by himself, we still have a chance! Capture the king first, and everyone rushed over with me and grabbed Liu He's son!"
This is a sign that this Niu Kettle has the power of today, which shows that it is definitely not an incompetent person.
Among the more than 10,000 people he brought out from Taipingdao, he selected more than 5,000 strong people, formed his own personal guards, and armed all the best weapons and armor he obtained on them.
At this time, he personally led the personal guards and rushed towards Liu He.
"The position of the leader is mine! The world is mine! No one can take it away!"
Zhang Niujiao's eyes were red, and the troops stabbed into the battlefield at an extremely fast speed like sharp arrows, rushing all the way to Liu He and others.
"Liu He died!"
Zhang Niujiao suddenly shouted loudly, rushed to the front of the few personal guards, who had already arrived next to Liu He, raised a spear and stabbed him.
