Chapter 94 Meat Grinder (End)

It was almost noon, and Zhang Mancheng led the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to the bottom of Wan County.

Standing on the city tower and looking at it, I saw a large area of ​​dense camps that were cultivated for dozens of miles.

I often hear people telling people how hundreds of thousands of troops are, but when I see it with my own eyes, Dong Qi couldn't help but take a breath. This was the first time he saw a huge number of enemies, with his dark face becoming even more gloomy.

Only the heartless Shamoko was excited and kept muttering how to kill people.

Dian Wei, Dong Qi and Xu Huang didn't say anything, looking at the army under the city and thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, Huang Shao also climbed to the top of the city. Looking at the Yellow Turban Army under the city, he felt a little complicated.

If it weren't for Dong Qi, maybe he would be one of the members of this army now, and maybe he would be a member of the marquis and ministers just in time. But when he thought about it again, Huang Shao couldn't help but laugh. What if he was still in the Yellow Turban Army? People like him who had no foundation would not be taken seriously at all. If you have good luck, you should be a minor official; if you are not lucky, you might be killed at any time.

It’s better to stay by Dong Qi’s side, at least feel at ease.

"This battle is not easy to fight!"

Everyone was very clear in their hearts. But seeing that everyone was a little depressed, Dong Qi knew that this would not work. If the opponent seemed to be like before, he could go out to charge and improve his morale. But now, the Yellow Turban Army was obviously prepared and lined up to the city, and it was obviously unlikely to catch the opponent off guard.

My eyes rolled and I thought about it.

"Brother Gongming, you have fought against the Hu people in Gaoping County. How powerful are they?"

Xu Huang didn't react at all, and thought for a while and said, "The Xianbei people are fierce, and they are no worse than the border troops."

"What if the Xianbei people compare with the soldiers under the city?"

Xu Huang understood this time, and raised his voice and laughed: "Is Mr. Chu joking? These people are worthy of being called soldiers? They don't even have armor and weapons. The guys who ran out with fire sticks are simply a group of mobs."

Dong Qi was very satisfied with Xu Huang's reaction and said intimately: I am worthy of being the future five-son general, and it is indeed very powerful.

Seeing that the soldiers on the city were listening, Dong Qi shouted: "I heard that the soldiers and horses in Wan County are famous for being the most brave Jingxiang. A group of mobs, even if there are many people, is still a mob. We are a great Han official army. If even a group of mobs are afraid, it would be safer to go home now and hide under a woman's skirt."

He raised his voice again, "Say, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

They are all bloody men, how can they show their timidity at this time?

A tsunami sounded from the city, and Dong Qi waved to let Shamoko come over: "Third brother, kill that leader!"

The movements on the city made the Yellow Turban thieves under the city confused.

Since the uprising, the officials fled when they saw them. Why are the defenders of Wan County afraid at all?

Several officers ran out and put on their horses, watching the city headed on their hands. Shamoko had already bent his bow and arrows, and used the continuous bead arrow technique to shoot the leaders in the front of the team on the spot. Unconsciously, the Yellow Turban Army took a step back. But this small step made the officials on the city head cheer loudly.

"Three Young Master, good archery skills!"

Xu Huang couldn't help but exclaim. He was also good at shooting, but he was not as good as Shamoke's archery technique.

I had seen Xu Huang fighting among the enemy before, and Shamoko still had a good impression of this person and laughed out loud.

The arrogance of these people on the top of the city made the Yellow Turban leader angry.

But before the attack was ordered, these people had to temporarily stabilize their positions and wait patiently.

Outside another city gate, Zhang Mancheng was talking to Qin Jie. The content was nothing more than to make Qin Jie surrender, otherwise he would definitely die.

The results of the negotiations were obvious, and Qin Jie refused.

Just after noon, I heard the rumbling drums coming from the Yellow Turban Army Joint Camp. At first, it was just a sound, but it was like it was contagious. Soon, drums sounded in all camps. Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong... The passionate sound of war drums made people excited. The leader of the Yellow Turban Army raised his swords and guns and shouted at the head of Wanxian County: "Attack, attack, and break Wanxian!"

Teams of Yellow Turban thieves rushed towards the city with a ladder.

Like a group of locusts, they were yelling in groups, shouting the slogan of bloody sweeping Wan County.

Dong Qi's face was as deep as water, and raised his hand. Xu Huang shouted shrillly: "Archer, come forward..."

Only about ten steps away, Dong Qi suddenly waved his hand.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Buzz-!

The bowstrings sounded at the same time, making the sound of locusts passing through the border. There were about two thousand archers on the top of the city, distributed across the city, with three rows of sharp arrows roaring out through the air, and the other row of archers stood in front of the battlements.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Xu Huang roared again, and another row of arrows flew out.

The Yellow Turban Thief who rushed in the front was shot by a strong bow. Because the distance was too close, the force of the arrow knocked their bodies out. As soon as they landed on the ground, the soldiers behind them had no time to stomp over the battlefield. The screams echoed over the battlefield, but it did not affect the Yellow Turban Thief who were behind them, and they still rushed towards the city without fear of death.

The archers almost stopped, and the arrows flew like raindrops.

Life became particularly fragile at this moment, and corpses fell under the city. The moat was gradually filled up, and a ladder was placed on the city wall. Dong Qi was still extremely calm and said softly: "Light!"

At the foot of the city wall, countless dry firewood was piled up.

Almost all the firewood from every household in Wan County was collected, with dead grass piled on it.

Countless torches were thrown from the top of the city and landed on the pile of firewood. The dry firewood started to burn. The Yellow Turban Thief who had climbed up the cloud ladder then realized that there were still such things piled up under the city wall. The cloud ladder was swallowed up in the sea of ​​fire. The intelligent man didn't care that he had climbed halfway, jumped down and rolled on the ground, and then put out the flames on his body.

A wall of fire strangely formed a barrier outside the wall of Wan County.

The moat has been filled, and it is extremely difficult to put out the fire. Besides, it is not so easy to extinguish the fire when it is burned.

The moment the flames soared into the air, all the archers brushed together, put down their strong bows and pulled up their big swords.

The flames crackled and screamed endlessly. The ladder collapsed and made a rumbling sound in the sea of ​​fire.

The battlefield suddenly became very quiet. Maybe the Yellow Turban Army was too smooth at first. After suffering strong resistance, all the leaders were at a loss. You looked at me, I looked at you, and the sound of war drums behind you rumbling, but facing the wall of fire, I didn’t know what to do.

*******

The fire gradually went out after more than an hour.

The city walls were charred.

"Run, attack me!"

The Yellow Turban Army once again heard a shrill roar. Thousands of hands were even holding hatches. The Yellow Turban soldiers with hoes launched an attack on Wan County. On the top of the city, arrows were like rain. Some people approaching the city wall just set up a ladder and were smashed into blood and blood by stones. Once, twice, three times... When the leader of the Yellow Turban Army thought of the archers who used bows and arrows to suppress the city, the sky was already dark. After a long hard battle, the Yellow Turban Army lost thousands of troops.

On the top of the city, Dong Qi's expression was solemn.

It can be seen that the Yellow Turban Army that commanded the battle today had no experience.

But this does not mean that there is no capable person in the Yellow Turban Army. What will the outcome of tomorrow’s battle?

Dong Qiu was very worried, but he could not express his worry on his face. The pressure in his heart was imaginable.

Nothing happened overnight.

After dawn, the Yellow Turban Army launched another attack on Wan County.

This time it was obvious that they sent experienced generals, first using archers to shoot at the city, and at the same time, they shot out brave soldiers and approached the city wall step by step. Ladders were ladders, and the Yellow Turban thieves rushed to climb up. Boiling oil fell from the top of the city, and stones fell down like raindrops.

It is obvious that the Yellow Turban Army made up its mind and did not care about the lives of the soldiers and launched waves of attacks in a crazy manner.

A group of Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and before the soldiers on the city could take a breath, the second group of Yellow Turban Army rushed over. In addition, the Yellow Turban Army's regular attack caused great casualties to the official army stationed in Wan County. The battle situation can be described as tragic.

At noon, the first group of Yellow Turban troops rushed to the top of the Ximen City of Wan County, but they were quickly killed.

The general guarding the West Gate was named Li Yan, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was extremely calm in the face of such a bloody killing scene. However, although the Yellow Turban Army was driven down, the impact was extremely huge. The inspired Yellow Turban Army felt that the city was broken and launched a crazy attack again.

In the afternoon, the two gates in the east and south were also attacked by the Yellow Turban Army one after another.

Huang Zhong guarded the east gate, and Qin Jie personally took charge of the south gate. The two commanded the soldiers to drive the Yellow Turban Army who rushed to the city to the top of the city. For a time, the three gates were full of dangers, but the north gate, which had a relatively weak number, was always as stable as Mount Tai.

All day long, Wan County was like a bottomless black hole, devouring the lives of thousands of people from the Yellow Turban Army.

The Wan County also suffered heavy casualties, with nearly a thousand people killed and thousands injured. According to Dong Qi's previous arrangement, Qin Jie cleared the entire county government office as a temporary rescue site. Headed by Ma Zhen, all the doctors in Wan County were requisitioned, busy from morning to night, and even had no time to eat.

In this era, there has never been such a huge rescue group in any war.

It is precisely the emergence of this rescue group that many soldiers returned to the battlefield after simple bandages.

After dark, the Yellow Turban Army, which had been attacking wildly for a whole day, finally stopped the attack.

Under the city, there are dead bodies everywhere.

On the top of the city, blood flowed along the cracks of the rocks and down the city walls, covering the entire Wan County in a patch of blood.

Qin Jie was also very worried about this situation.

Old Master He contributed half of He’s mansion as a temporary county government.

The lights are brightly lit in the conference hall.

Dong Qi, Huang Zhong, Qin Jie, Li Yan, Kuai Liang and Pang Degong gathered in the hall, listening to the casualties reports of their subordinates, all seemed worried.

"Sir, why are all three cities in a desperate battle today and are repeatedly attacked by rebels? Instead, the war in the North Gate is calm?"

The young and energetic Li Yan is a friend of Wenpin and has learned martial arts under Huang Zhong.

He just disliked Dong Qi, and his face was covered with blood, slapped the table, pointed at Dong Qi's nose and asked.

Dong Qi frowned, "Brother Zhengfang, what do you mean?"

"What does it mean? You know it in your heart."

"As Brother Zhengfang said, did you say that you were in love with the thief?"
