Han Zhan and Dian Wei rushed to the north gate with 500 soldiers and saw a neat wooden fence erected at the gap. Outside the city gate tower, a group of civilians who participated in the repair of the city wall were gathered. Under the arrangement of the minority officials, they went to the designated position to defend. Except for a few people with weapons, most of the civilians were holding hoes or shoulder poles.

When Han Zhan climbed the city wall, he suddenly heard someone calling him: "Eunuch, Lord, Lord."

He turned his head and saw that it was the lame carpenter who helped him make a wheelbarrow, and then nodded at the other party with a smile. Seeing that Han Zhan was so approachable, the carpenter plucked up his courage and asked, "Empress, I heard that there are thousands of Yellow Turban thieves coming to attack. Can we stop them?"

When he heard the lame carpenter asking Han Zhan, the civilians standing next to the dove surrounded him. Dian Wei and Rob hurriedly blocked Han Zhan and tried to isolate him from the civilians.

Han Zhan pushed away Dian Wei and Robu who were blocking in front of him and asked the men standing in front of him, "Do you guys, do you want to say to me?"

"Master Envoy," as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately repeated the words of the lame carpenter loudly: "There are thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, and we are just a few people. Can we block them?" His words immediately caused a response.

Seeing that the civilians were full of fear of the upcoming Yellow Turban Army, Han Zhan quickly raised his hands and waved forward in the air, signaling everyone to be quiet first. After the city wall became quiet again, he said loudly: "Don't panic, all the people. Although there are thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, they came from afar and had no siege equipment, so they would never be able to rush into the city."

In order to reassure the people, he added: "I will fight the enemy with all the people on the city walls, and will never take a step back and fight the Yellow Turban thieves to the end. If the thieves want to enter the city, unless they step on the corpse of the envoy!"

After he finished speaking, the city wall was silent. After a moment, he heard the lame carpenter say loudly: "My fellow villagers, I can come to the top of the city and fight against the enemy side by side with everyone. What else can you be scared? We swear to advance and retreat with the envoy and fight the Yellow Turban thieves to the end!"

Hearing the words of the lame carpenter, the civil servants around him shouted in unison: "We swear to advance and retreat with the envoy and fight the Yellow Turban thieves to the end!" The more they shouted, the more tidy they shouted, which surprised the officials standing beside him. They had just tried their best to make the civil servants reluctant to accept the task of defending the city. But the envoy mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.

After the surrounding men dispersed, Han Zhan asked the lame carpenter with concern: "If you have bad legs and feet, don't participate in defending the city. You'd better go back and rest."

The lame carpenter replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, although Caomin is inconvenient in his legs and feet, his hands are quite flexible." He raised the axe in his hand, "Camin will be guarding the pagoda. As long as there is a yellow turban thief, I will chop him down with one axe. One will chop one, and two will chop one pair."

The scene described by the lame carpenter reminded Han Zhan of the gopher-killing game he had played in the amusement park before, and he couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and patted the carpenter's shoulder, and then took Dian Wei and hundreds of soldiers toward the gap in the city wall not far away.

When they arrived in front of the wooden fence, Dian Wei began to dispatch troops. The two hundred soldiers from Jizhou followed Han Zhan from Jizhou were all sword and shield soldiers; while the new recruits who were joined after they arrived in Sheguo County were all spearmen. Near the wooden fence were a row of sword and shield soldiers, and behind them were two rows of spearmen. The remaining rows of sword and shield soldiers and a row of spearmen were staying behind and waiting.

Robu, who put one hand on the hip and the other hand on the hilt of the sword, followed Han Zhan tightly, and kept moving. The reason why he did this was because before leaving the county government, Xun Yu had privately told him to protect Han Zhan's safety and if he saw that the situation was not good, he would immediately take Han Zhan with him to escape.

In order to complete the tasks assigned by Xun Yu, he not only sticks to Han Zhan like Zhang Gou Skin Plaster, but his ten cavalrymen are now staying in an alley near the city wall. If the situation is wrong, they will immediately rush out to respond.

After Dian Wei set up a defensive formation, he listened to the buzzing sounds from the city. He knew that this was a yamen runner who was ordered by Han Zhan and was informing the residents on the street not to walk around and stay at home to avoid unnecessary chaos. He walked to Han Zhan, pointed at the city tower more than 20 meters away, and said to Han Zhan: "Eunuch, the city tower is not far from here anyway, so you should go to the city tower."

After hearing this, Han Zhan waved his hand and said firmly: "No need, I will stay with you and see with my own eyes how you defeated the attack of the Yellow Turban Thief."

Through this period of contact, Dian Wei has some understanding of Han Zhan's character. He knew that he must have decided on something and would never change his mind. So he did not continue to persuade him. Instead, he cast a meaningful look at Rob standing behind Han Zhan, indicating that he must protect Han Zhan's safety.

...

After a long wait, a black line appeared on the horizon in the distance, and soon the black line became thicker and thicker, like a black belt. Han Zhan understood in his heart that the Yellow Turban Army was coming.

Since this era, Han Zhan has seen countless life and death, and even killed one person with his own hands. But at this moment, facing the thousands of Yellow Turban troops coming towards the city, his heartbeat still accelerated unsatisfactorily.

Soon, the Yellow Turban Army entered a place only two hundred steps away from the city wall. Han Zhan, who was condescending, saw that these Yellow Turban Army wearing coarse cloth clothes had a large number of people, but they did not carry any siege equipment. Most of them even held some sharpened wooden sticks in their hands.

After seeing the Yellow Turban Army's equipment, Han Zhan put his heart, which was chosen in his throat, back in his stomach. He shouted at the soldiers who were waiting for the battle: "Brothers, you all saw it. Although the Yellow Turban Army is large in number, they do not carry any siege equipment, but they do not have any decent weapons in their hands. You said, can you stop them?"

"Yes! We can!" Five hundred soldiers answered neatly.

"Since the brothers are all so confident," Han Zhan said while the fire was hot: "Then let's kill them one of them."

"Kill them one of them!

After the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army approached the city wall, the leader of the team saw a huge gap here and thought that he could rush into the city as long as he rushed up the slope. He was eager to grab the merits, and did not send anyone to report to the coach Qu behind, so he rushed up with hundreds of Yellow Turban Army.

Facing the Yellow Turban Army rushing up, Dian Wei was extremely calm. He raised an iron halberd high and stared at the Yellow Turban Army. When they were only five or six steps away from the wooden fence, he suddenly waved the iron halberd down and shouted in a loud thunderous voice: "Thorn!"

With his orders, a row of spears stabbed out from the gap in the shield behind the fence like a poisonous snake spitting a letter, and quickly shrank back. After a series of screams, a group of Yellow Turban soldiers fell in front of the wooden fence. Some of the wounded men who were not stabbed to the vital points and were unable to move were lying on the ground to cover their wounds and howls.

Because everything was born too fast, the Yellow Turban Army behind continued to rush towards the wooden fence under the action of huge inertia, but the spears and bayonets that were stabbed out immediately fell to the ground. Some fell directly in front of the wooden fence, while others fell down on their backs and rolled down the slope. Seeing the officers and soldiers here at the gap, they easily killed the first group of Yellow Turban Army rushing up, and the civilians on the nearby city wall immediately cheered.

When the Yellow Turban Army Coach Qu learned that the front team had failed, he was shocked and immediately drove the horse to the front team. After trying to figure out the reality of the defenders, he attacked again to see if he could break through the defense of the defenders. Unexpectedly, when he came to the front team and was observing not far from the city wall, he suddenly heard that the back team was in a mess as if it was blowing up a nest. He couldn't help but turn his head and look behind with anger, trying to figure out what was going on.

A leader rolled and crawled to him and shouted loudly: "Sir Qu, something is wrong, some officers and soldiers are coming from behind us!"

"Nonsense!" Qu Shuai glared at the leader and said viciously: "There are only a few hundred county soldiers in the city. How could they attack from behind us? If you lied about military information, I will kill you immediately."

"It's not the county soldiers in the city," the leader said in a crying voice: "The powerful crossbow soldiers from other places are still far away, and they shoot arrows. The brothers in the back team have no strength to fight back at all, and have suffered heavy losses at this moment."

Qu Shuai put on a pergola in his hand and looked into the distance. He saw hundreds of officers and soldiers wearing Jizhou costumes shooting at his back team with crossbow arrows. The arrows flew towards his subordinates in groups like locusts. Amid the screams, his subordinates fell down in groups, and the rest were even more panicked, running around like headless flies.

Seeing this emotion, Qu Shuai was shocked and quickly turned his horse's head and fled to the northwest direction, shouting: "The officers and soldiers are here, run!"

Seeing that Coach Qu had already taken the lead in running, the leaders immediately followed closely. When the Yellow Turban Army around him saw that all the officials had run away, although he didn't understand what happened, he felt that it was definitely right to follow him, so he chased him along the route of the officials' escape.
