chapter 73

food!

It is definitely the most important material that cannot be missing for anyone, or even stabilizes the fundamental order of the country.

Even if you are the existence of the Emperor Qin Shihuang, Emperor Taizong of Tiankang, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Kongming of Wolong, you will face artificial rebellion without food. One of the key reasons for the rise of the Yellow Turban Army is that it has been in a period of frequent natural disasters for several consecutive years. The civilians in most areas are in a situation where they cannot survive or be happy. After the long-prepared Great Sage and Good Teacher launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the huge situation of the world's response and shaking the entire Han Dynasty's rule.

——In other words, if the harvest of the lower-class civilians is good and everyone can fill their stomachs, even if the ideal of the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao is touching, it will be a big problem whether so many people will join the Yellow Turban Army!

Similarly, the Yellow Turban Army is also a human being. Of course, tens of thousands of people cannot fill their stomachs by drinking water and basking in the sun. Even if the Yellow Turban Army in this county successfully besieged the county town of Donglai County, the food and grass needed are obviously impossible to spend money to buy and farm. Instead, the Yellow Turban Army plundered the stored grain from multiple villages and towns along the way, and then supported the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army to directly besiege the county town.

Wang Chen led hundreds of people to launch a raid at night. The goal that needed to be achieved is not a super difficult thing like defeating tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army in one battle, but a point directly at the lifeblood of the Yellow Turban Army - the food hoarded in the camp!

...

In fact, it was not only Wang Chen who understood the importance of food, but Bian Xi, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, also knew the importance of food and grass.

In the entire camp, most of the food and grass that the Yellow Turban Army plundered along the way were hoarded in the camp of commander Bian Xi. The food and stockpile were still close to the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army, and a member of the unit appointed by Bian Xi personally took charge of it. Ten Yellow Turban soldiers and 500 Yellow Turban Army were also guarded. Normally, it was already a strong defense. Bian Xi believed that even if the enemy was raided, he should be able to support his commander army to rescue.

Unfortunately, Bian Xi definitely overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army, and also underestimated the speed of the cavalry charging under Wang Chen and Taishi Ci.

When Wang Chen led the team to the vicinity of the granary, the Yellow Turban Army's main team was still in full swing, and he didn't react at all!

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

Seeing the defensive measures such as trenches and fences outside the granary, Wang Chen waved his hand and ordered directly.

The cavalrymen who had already prepared special arrows directly lit the torches in their hands with flints, ignited the arrows wrapped around the oil-soaked linen, and did not shoot accurately at all, but covered the granaries quickly. Arrows with fire lights cut through the night sky in just one moment, and began to light the grain stockpile.

Originally, the Yellow Turban Army stationed in the granary was preparing to defend against the enemy's attack, but when they saw that the enemy who was rushing to the camp had no intention of stepping forward, they rode their horses and ignited the grain stockpile with rockets, everyone was stunned!

The enemy does not attack, but instead sets fires around the grain. What should we do?

Do you have to watch the enemy set fire to the food? That will definitely not work!

The general who received Bian Xi's order to protect the granary, his first reaction was to send someone to put out the fire immediately to prevent the precious grain from being burned out by the fire!

The problem is that Wang Chen had already made preparations. Each cavalry had not many rockets, but there were many torches.

With the help of horsepower, the cavalry can easily throw the not-so-heavy torch with the center of gravity on one side, and throwing it out dozens of meters or even a hundred meters is easy. Although the Yellow Turban Army's granary is not very large (relatively speaking), most people are trying to block the cavalry in front of the fence. How many people can be drawn to put out the fire?

As a result, before the Yellow Turban General sent someone to put out the fire, hundreds of torches directly ignited the granary. Looking at the scene where torches and divine archers were thrown from time to time, I knew that putting out the fire could not solve the problem!

"The Protector and I will rush to the fire! We must stop them from setting fire!!!"

Seeing that the grain stocks were burned one by one, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army was so anxious that his eyes were red. He looked at the enemy army with only a hundred cavalry outside, and roared with the long-handled sword in his hand.

The Yellow Turban Strongman, who also knew the importance of food, shouted without hesitation and charged with the Yellow Turban General!

"Ziyi, kill that general and those Yellow Turban heroes!"

Seeing the Yellow Turban Army general wearing iron armor, ten Yellow Turban soldiers who looked like fierce little giants and a group of Yellow Turban Army soldiers rushed out of the grain storage. Wang Chen, who was paying attention to the movements around him, looked at them and said coldly to Taishi Ci beside him.

"As for your order! Sir!"

Hearing Wang Chen's order, Taishici's face calmed down and then whispered.

Taishici is absolutely unable to underestimate a Yellow Turban General and ten Yellow Turban Strongmen. Even though there are nearly a hundred cavalry around, the other side has hundreds of Yellow Turban Strongmen support!

However, Taishici also had his own arrogance. After agreeing, he directly raised the longbow in his hand and pulled it apart.

A longbow that was obviously a little old was pulled apart in Taishici's hands, and then several exquisite eagle-feathered arrows were shot out by Taishici in a breath. The arrows seemed to turn into dim black streams, and they directly brought intimate contact with the Yellow Turban heroes who rushed in the front!

"Bang bang——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"ah!!!"

The Yellow Turban Strongman, who had just rushed out with the Yellow Turban General, was directly shot in the eye socket, and then fell without saying a word. The Yellow Turban Strongman barely turned his head, but he could dodge an arrow at the cost of one eye being blinded, but was nailed through the heart by the last arrow!

Seeing the three Yellow Turban soldiers dead in an instant, even the Yellow Turban Army general slowed down slightly. When he saw that Wang Chen had already rushed over, his steps that wanted to stop suddenly accelerated.

"Dog official died for me!!!"

The armor on Wang Chen's body and the appearance of giving orders just now were undoubtedly the best known to the Yellow Turban Army General. He rushed up with red eyes, and a long-handled machete in his hand was slashed down with the sound of the howling wind.

Just looking at the strength and speed of the Yellow Turban General, it is slightly above the line compared to the Yellow Turban Master!

"Die? You are the one who dies!"

Looking at the fierce sword of the Yellow Turban General, Wang Chen sneered and suddenly waved the horse spear in his hand.

Although Wang Chen replaced the powerful head of the family "Wang Chen" this time, and Wang Chen faced many inconveniences and discomforts, but when he worshiped the martial arts of the Han Dynasty, Wang Chen obtained temporary skills such as riding skills [F], bow and arrow [F-], not to mention that Wang Chen has obtained the skills of the long-handled cold weapon [F+] level in practice these days!

Cooperating with Wang Chen's current high attributes, the blue equipment horse spear found from the large households in the county town was launched and then first arrived. It stabbed the Yellow Turban General's chest before the sword was swung out!

"Puff!!!"

The long blade and the diamond-shaped horse spear with eight sides pierced armor almost penetrated the iron armor of the Yellow Turban Army. The cold spear tip even emerged from its back until it was stopped by the Qing Liujie on the horse spear.

When the horse spear in Wang Chen's hand pierced his chest, the long-handled sword in the Yellow Turban Army general was unable to swing out, and the whole person was picked up high by the horse spear. When he flew out, he had no breath at all. He didn't even exert his own strength, and he became a desperate ghost under Wang Chen's horse spear!

When it landed, the eyes of the Yellow Turban Army general's body were wide open, with an expression of dying with his eyes closed!

"Ha!!!"

Wang Chen ignored the guy who was worried about the fate, took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation to pull out the horse spear in his hand, aiming at the Yellow Turban strong men who rushed up later and swept across.

Even if the leading Yellow Turban Army general was killed in battle, the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers did not retreat at all. They roared and surrounded them with heavy hammers, long swords, giant axes, maces and other weapons, trying to surround Wang Chen, the enemy general!

In response to this kind of siege, Wang Chen slightly pulled the reins in his hand and took advantage of the opportunity to launch a charge again. The horse spear in his hand pierced through the Yellow Turban hero in front. The horse spear, which was originally a family of military generals, was extremely sharp. Wang Chen waved it hard and cut the armor and half of the body of the Yellow Turban hero with its sharpness. The horse spear drawn out directly cut the handle and arm of a giant axe blocking the road, and then brought up a ferocious head.

"kill!!!"

Wang Chen took the opportunity to kill two Yellow Turban heroes in a row, but did not stop the charge of those Yellow Turban heroes at all. A Yellow Turban hero with a mace did not waste the opportunity brought by his companion's death, and swung directly at Wang Chen's war horse with a stick.

Shoot the horse first!

The Yellow Turban Rex, who made this threat, failed!

Almost as the mace was swinging and just about to hit the target, the drawn horse spear hit the mace hard. Amid the dazzling sparks and the blacksmith's forging, the much lighter horse spear was just slightly bent, and then it returned to its straight state. However, the Yellow Turban Strongman could not withstand the huge force and took several steps back.

Then, the straight-thrust horse spear pierced like lightning, and pierced through the head of the Yellow Turban Strongman. When he pulled it out again, the spear even brought something inexplicable with a white and red mixed with tofu brain-like appearance!

"ah!"

"Someone fired a hidden arrow?!!"

Before the remaining Yellow Turban strongmen came forward to siege, Taishici, who had recovered, drew his longbow again.

Most of the Yellow Turban Strongmen were dead and could not even cause any damage to Wang Chen who was charging forward. Except for a Yellow Turban Strongmen smashing out the giant axe in his hand before he died and cutting a cavalry who could not dodge head-on in half, it did not pose any threat to Wang Chen and Taishici at all.

Looking at the dead generals and ten Yellow Turban strongmen, the Yellow Turban Army that had just rushed out was a little confused. Except for occasionally causing some trouble with bows and arrows, they no longer dared to chase them blindly!

"Hey! The food and grass are almost burned! Let's go!!!"
