Chapter 20 The Thief
The 70,000 to 80,000 Yellow Turban soldiers attacked the city, but they didn't know that there were 50,000 officials behind them. Such careless omissions showed that the leader of this Yellow Turban soldiers had no much experience in leading troops.
For such an opponent, Gao Cheng had no desire to take action himself. He nodded and said, "Zibu's words are reasonable!"
Then Gao Cheng turned his eyes on Jiang Qin and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Qin, I will give you a hundred soldiers and 5,000 elite soldiers. Do you dare to raid the Yellow Turban Army?"
When Jiang Qin heard this, he immediately said, "Why don't you dare? If you can't defeat this mob, the villain will come to see you!"
"Okay! If you can defeat the thief, Gong Yi will be the first achievement!" Gao Cheng laughed and immediately handed over the 100 elite family soldiers he brought out from Huai'an to the other party.
Because the time is too short, the 50,000 troops under his command are limited to the Yellow Turban soldiers after simple training. These hundred elite soldiers are brave men who have practiced the Golden Bell Cover. Each of them is a powerful and strong warrior, and they have the power of one to ten. If the military formation methods are combined with the trained military formation, they can attack the formation composed of three thousand people head-on.
After several months of big fish, meat and hard practice, these people have trained the first level of the Golden Bell Cover to the peak, including several sergeants and sergeants. After testing and observation, after ensuring loyalty, Gao Cheng passed down the first three levels of the Golden Bell Cover. Now they have become warriors who practice the three levels of strength.
Jiang Qin stayed in Huai'an for a while and also learned about the power of the Gao family soldiers, so he was so confident when he heard Gao Cheng handing over a hundred soldiers to him.
If he is a master with a level 7 or above, if he is in charge of these elites, he cannot defeat the Yellow Turban Rebellion in a state of mindful arithmetic and unintentional state, how can he have a foothold in front of Gao Cheng?
With the order, Jiang Qin led a hundred soldiers and ordered five thousand elite troops to run towards Wuxian at a fast speed.
...
In Wu County, there were densely packed soldiers under the city wall. These people wore yellow turbans and showed ferocious faces. They were carrying ladders and ants to attack the city. The county hero on the city wall trembled. Under the command of a young man wearing coarse cloth clothes, they kept lifting wooden stones and smashing them down at the soldiers below.
However, the Yellow Turban soldiers under the city did not take human lives seriously. No matter how many casualties were in the siege ahead, they still sent soldiers to climb the ladder.
"Baojian! How long can we last? The number of these thieves is 70,000 to 80,000. In my opinion, it is better for us to abandon the city and break through? We have been guarding for a month. The county tyrant has reached its limit. Even the county magistrate was shot and died. Even if we break through, the governor will not blame him!"
The young man wearing county magistrate's costume was carefully hiding behind two shields and whispered to the young man in thick clothes. His expression was panicked, but he had no momentum in his official uniform, giving people a feeling of being soaked in a monkey.
The young man in thick clothes had simple clothes, but his appearance was upright and his every move had a sense of uprightness. He kept issuing orders and directed the county to defend the city, and everyone followed.
"No! Once we abandon the city and break through, the tens of thousands of people in the city will be finished! And if we break through, there is no city wall as a barrier, wouldn't we seek death if we encounter Yellow Turban soldiers?"
The young man in thick clothes changed his expression when he heard what the county magistrate said, and he quickly persuaded him.
The county magistrate sighed when he heard this, "But we can't hold on for long with the Yellow Turban thieves constantly attacking the city like this! The governor's reinforcements have not been delayed, what should we do?"
"Brother, don't worry, Pengcheng is the capital of Xuzhou, and the governor will never sit idly by. As long as you persist for another two days, reinforcements will come!" the young man in thick clothes comforted.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the county yong cheering on the city wall. One of them was the head of the county yong crying with joy, turned around and shouted to the two: "Reinforcements are here! It is the governor's reinforcements are here!"
The county magistrate and the young man in thick clothes were shocked. He hurried to the battlements and looked down. He saw a group of officers and soldiers coming from a distance and rushing directly from behind the Yellow Turban soldiers. A big man in the lead slashed back and forth among the Yellow Turban soldiers with a sabre, roaring repeatedly, with a sharp sword light and rushing around, as if he had entered a no-man.
"A good general! I have such a general in Xuzhou. Why haven't I heard of it before?" The county magistrate who claimed to be Chen Guan excitedly slapped the battlement.
The young man in thick clothes lit up his eyes at this time and he hurriedly said, "Brother, good opportunity, open the city gate quickly. We will lead the county heroes and reinforcements to attack inside and outside, and the Yellow Turbans will be defeated!"
Chen Guanneng became a county magistrate at such an age, and was born in a noble family and had a decision that ordinary people could not make. Seeing this situation, he immediately agreed to the other party's suggestion.
Boom! The city gate of Wu County opened, and thousands of county dynasties were stimulated by the arrival of reinforcements. After the city gate opened, they immediately rushed out with a roar, as if they were crazy, and immediately killed the Yellow Turban soldiers who were sieging the city and retreated one after another.
At this time, a panic scream suddenly came from the Yellow Turban Army outside.
"Ship Qu was killed!"
"Defeated! Defeated! Run!"
The 70,000 to 80,000 Yellow Turban Army was originally a group of mobs. When the siege was unfavorable, the morale continued to decline. At this time, when I heard that the commander Qu was killed, no matter whether the news was true or false, these people subconsciously ran backwards. The entire army suddenly collapsed.
When Gao Cheng and Zhang Zhao brought the remaining 40,000 troops to Wu County, the battle was over. Jiang Qin took three thousand soldiers to guard more than 30,000 prisoners, and the other two thousand soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.
"General, I'm lucky to be a villain! The 80,000 Yellow Turbans have been defeated!" Jiang Qin saw the army coming and hurriedly came to pay his respects and reported the results of the battle just now.
Pei Yuanshao, not far from Gao Cheng, couldn't help but curl his lips. If the young master asked him to lead the troops, he would have such a record.
At this time, two young men walked quickly. The young men in the head dressed in the county magistrate's costume. After seeing Gao Cheng and Zhang Zhao, they immediately bowed and said, "Wu County Magistrate Chen Guan, pay homage to the general! Thank you for helping us, so that the people of the whole city will be spared from war!"
When Gao Cheng and Zhang Zhao came, they had already turned over and dismounted and bowed. They said, "Mr. Chen, don't be polite. We are ordered to come and dare not take credit!"
The young man in thick clothes next to him seemed to have something to say. After waiting for everyone to greet him, he took a step forward and bowed and said, "Report to General, there are now millions of Yellow Turbans in Pengcheng Country. After the Yellow Turban outside the city is defeated, other Yellow Turban soldiers will definitely come to help. Please be careful!"
Chen Guan was reminded by this sentence, and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I heard that Steve Qiu has been captured by the Yellow Turban thieves. If they knew the news, they would definitely send a large army!"
Gao Cheng nodded. Before he led his army to set off, he had already received news from Mi Zhu that in addition to the hundreds of thousands gathered in Pengcheng, other Yellow Turban soldiers in Pengcheng scattered the city. Among them, Wuyuan County and Liu County in the north have been captured and become the gathering point for the Yellow Turban soldiers. In the south of Pengcheng Kingdom, the Steinqiu County in the south of Pengcheng Kingdom, also fell into the hands of the Yellow Turbans. There are only five of the eight cities in Pengcheng Kingdom.
After receiving the news of Wuxian’s defeat, the Yellow Turbans of Steakqiu will definitely send troops to come again.
Gao Cheng noticed that this young man in thick clothes was extremely dignified and had the third level of cultivation, and seemed to have some ability. "I wonder what you call him?"
The young man in thick clothes hurriedly bowed and said, "In Xia Guangling Xu Xuan, whose courtesy name is Baojian, has met General Gao!"
