Chapter 13 Siege of Wancheng

Sima Nai's official ranks more than Qianshishi, logically speaking, can wear brass seals and ribbons as the county magistrate.

Now, he only has a wooden sign to wear for this fake (temporary) Sima, and the treatment is too different.

But then again, although the prefect of the county was a 2,000-stone official, he was not qualified to appoint a 2,000-stone official. This required the approval of the imperial center.

Although it was just a wooden sign, it was just a fake to get the position of Sima from another department. However, Zheng Xiaoming also felt a mysterious power that came upon him.

This kind of power is very similar to the number of qi, especially the similar qi of noble officials, but it is very different.

Because whether it is wealth or noble or official, they are all humane powers.

But now, this power that descends on him belongs to the power of the heavens.

This kind of power is not very powerful, nor does it increase the power on him. However, it seems like he was given a key, or a little authority, allowing Zheng Xiaoming to display the magic power suppressed by this world!

"Isn't this the power of heaven that I am pursuing?" Zheng Xiaoming murmured to himself.

A fireball slowly condensed in his hands, but dissipated!

······

Wancheng, the capital of Nanyang County, is one of the top cities today. It is probably just a little inferior to Luoyang. It is difficult for other cities to compare with it.

Because the Nanyang Emperor's Township is also next to Luoyang, it is in the world. Since Emperor Guangwu, it has been highly valued by the court.

Now it is the largest county in the world. The population of a single county has reached 2.4 million.

Nanyang County is now under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, and now two-fifths of the population of Jingzhou are in Nanyang.

Of course, the actual situation may be even more exaggerated.

Because the Eastern Han Dynasty has a strong local power, it hides a large number of people and does not report it to the court officials... because the current tax is mainly the count tax.

There are too many powerful people like Nanyang, and no one knows how many people are hidden.

All other prefectures and counties in the world are similar!

This also shows what kind of huge city this Wancheng is, as the capital of Nanyang County.

When the Yellow Turbans started the incident, the reason why they were able to take down this city was to cause trouble in the city, beheading the prefect Chu Gong, and seize the city in one fell swoop.

However, now, the Han army wants to retake this city, but I don’t know how much it will cost to destroy it.

At least, whether it is the troops of Zhu Ye, the general of the Central Army who came to support, Xu Yu, the governor of Jingzhou, or the troops of Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, there is no intention to attack the city. At least it does not mean to attack the city.

Instead, he surrounded the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army and began to build siege equipment. He also swept the surrounding Yellow Turban Army, cut off its wings, and then slowly cleaned up Zhao Hong's troops.

As soon as Zheng Xiaoming arrived in Wancheng, he was soon arranged to dig trenches and extract soil, build walls, and besiege Wancheng. He truly witnessed this siege war in the era of cold weapons for the first time.

In the past, Zheng Xiaoming had not attacked the city, and it was far stronger than Wancheng, and it was the strong fortress cities built by Yadis in the future. However, they were all tricks and never used the tactics of the cold weapon era to attack such cities.

At this moment, I saw the city tower of Wancheng. On the corner tower, there were large flags of the Yellow Turban Army everywhere. Although many of them were temporarily made, they looked very simple and rough, but they had a fanatical atmosphere.

Because Zheng Xiaoming was highly valued by the prefect Qin Jie, the work arranged was much easier. This also caused some private soldiers from the local tribes who came to surrender to him to eat.

Especially the Xu family, who had some conflicts with the Zheng family, was most dissatisfied. The leader of the Xu family felt that his family had come early and helped the prefect Qin Jie defeat him and killed Zhang Mancheng.

Now, when Zheng Xiaoming comes, he is so respectful to the prefect, which is really disliked, so he excludes Zheng Xiaoming's troops.

They are familiar with local clans, with a large number of private soldiers, with more than 2,000. The other groups - all private soldiers of various powerful clans.

Qin Jie, the prefect, had not even entered Wancheng at all, and he had no county soldiers. He could only recruit these powerful and powerful village soldiers.

In short, Xu took the lead in isolating Zheng Xiaoming and made various obstacles to deal with Zheng Xiaoming.

Although these small methods cannot do anything to others, they can disgust people. This is what a toad is crawling at the foot!

Zheng Xiaoming looked calm, but he had experienced so many things, so how could he be afraid of things? He had decided to find an opportunity to give Xu a ruthless person.

But he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly!

Zheng Xiaoming had just dug a trench with his men when he suddenly heard the sound of drums in the city. After a while, the north city opened wide and a team of yellow turbans rushed out.

Obviously, these Yellow Turbans also know that the most taboo thing to defend the city is to defend the city.

However, now, Zheng Xiaoming is digging a trench at the south city gate, so the war in the north city is a bit far away and it cannot involve him.

In the north city is where Zhu Ye’s troops are responsible for the defense! Naturally, there are troops led by Zhu Ye to resist.

Moreover, Zhu Ye is a general of the Central Army, leading the elite Han army. Unlike them, there are many people with a lot of mobs...

Wait, why do these Yellow Turbans attack the elite Han army instead of looking for them such soft persimmons?

Zheng Xiaoming immediately became alert and ordered his subordinates to say, "Get the army immediately and prepare for battle!"

Everyone was frightened, but they immediately took action and began to form a formation and prepare for retreat.

The team led by Xu was still sneering: "The movements in the north city scared the Zheng son like this. I think these Zheng sons are even less courageous than mice!"

A group of people gathered together and laughed loudly when they heard this. While laughing at them, the gate of Nancheng suddenly opened and a team of yellow turbans suddenly rushed out.

This team of Yellow Turbans were all wearing Han army armor, equipped with spears, shields, ring-headed swords, etc., and even various crossbows... If they weren't wearing Yellow Turbans, they would almost think that the elite Han army was coming out!

You can know without asking that this must be equipment made from Wancheng Arsenal.

The Han family was martial. Although there were very few permanent troops, they implemented the policy of the whole people being soldiers. In addition, there were arsenals built everywhere, which stored a large amount of military supplies and equipment.

As long as you need it, you can immediately pull up a large number of equipment!

Of course, this important place in Wancheng has an arsenal, and the storage volume is really considerable.

However, now all of these Yellow Turban Army are cheaper!
