Huolu County is surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army and may attack at any time.
"Your Excellency, the county magistrate, the bandit army has come to attack the city again. There are only more than 200 defenders left in our county. I'm afraid we can't hold on!"
The county captain was covered in blood and looked extremely vicissitudes of life. He had been standing on the city wall for several days.
The county magistrate Jushou looked outside the city, with no trace of panic in his eyes.
"Quickly mobilize the people in the city and ask them to help defend the city. Tell them that if the Yellow Turbans break the city, they will not leave any chickens or dogs behind!"
The county captain accepted the order and hurriedly ran to the city.
Looking at the menacing Yellow Turban Army below, Jushou didn't have much worry.
Although there are thousands of Yellow Turbans, they look like a mob at first glance. Most of them don't even have weapons, and they only rely on three simple ladders to attack the city.
If it were really a regular Yellow Turban Army, how could this small town withstand an attack for several days? It would have been breached long ago.
The Yellow Turban leader looked at the earthen wall that was only a few feet high and felt extremely angry.
It was clear that our own troops were several times that of the official army, but we could not attack them. After a few days, we suffered heavy casualties on our side.
This county magistrate was really hateful. Instead of abandoning the city and running away, he continued to resist.
The time given by Commander Qu is running out. Lu County must be captured as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be at risk!
"People above, listen, open the door and surrender quickly. Our Yellow Turban army of tens of thousands has captured Zhengding County and is heading here. If you don't surrender, when the army arrives, there will definitely be no chickens or dogs left in the city!"
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the city suddenly panicked and began to whisper among themselves.
"The Yellow Turban Thief actually has reinforcements? Tens of thousands of people?"
"We only have these 200 people, how can we resist them?"
"It really doesn't work, why not..."
Seeing that the soldiers were being frightened, Jushu hurried forward and shouted to the Yellow Turban leader.
"Thieves, don't make up lies, let alone the yellow scarf thieves in Zhengding County. Even if Zhang Jiao comes, this county magistrate will not be afraid!"
The Yellow Turban leader was furious. If it hadn't been for the person in front of him, this small town would have been captured long ago.
"You damn dog officer! If we don't break this city today, I swear I won't withdraw my troops! When I catch you, I'll peel off your skin and cramps, and let you die without a burial place!"
"Hahahahahaha."
Jushou looked up to the sky and smiled, not taking the threat seriously at all.
"Rebel, do you think I, Jushou, are frightened? To tell you the truth, Xiaoqi Colonel Liu Zhang has arrived at Changshan!"
Captain Liu Zhang!
These six words immediately caused panic in the Yellow Turban Army camp.
"What!"
"The devil is coming!"
The shadow of a famous human tree, Liu Zhang was like a devil in the hearts of the Yellow Turban Army.
He cut off the waves first, and then broke Zhangjiao. Many Yellow Turban soldiers lost their fighting spirit when they heard the word "Liu Zhang".
The leader of the Yellow Turban trembled when he heard the word "Liu Zhang" and looked left and right.
"Who is Liu Zhang? He didn't meet me! If he dares to come here, I will kill him with my own hands!"
As a general, he cannot be intimidated by a name and can only brag boldly.
It's just that his voice became softer and quieter, and finally he could only hear it himself.
Jushou laughed again. His goal had been achieved, and the Yellow Turban Army in front of him had been frightened.
"Hahahaha, okay! Just wait here, General Liu will be here soon!"
After that, he ignored the Yellow Turban leader and turned around and walked away.
At this time, the county captain who mobilized the people came back. He happened to hear Jushou mentioning Liu Zhang, and he was very happy.
"Lord County Magistrate, will General Liu really come?"
Jushou smiled slightly, but cursed secretly in his heart.
This county captain is really stupid. How could I possibly know whether Liu Zhang is coming or not?
"How are the people mobilizing?"
"Hundreds of people have already come to the city."
"Hurry up and arrange the arrangements. Don't let the Yellow Turban thieves board the tower!"
"promise."
When the county captain arranged for the people to defend the city, the Yellow Turban Army was still rioting.
The Yellow Turban Army looks like thousands of people, but in fact they are all temporary hordes, and they are all young, strong, old and weak.
Looting and kidnapping at the same time. This is also a consistent characteristic of the Yellow Turbans.
"Commander, will Liu Zhang really come?"
After the Yellow Turban soldiers asked this question, all the soldiers stared at their leader.
If the leader nodded, maybe these thousands of people would disperse in a rush!
The leader glared at him, he really didn't want to pick up the pot! He could only pretend not to be afraid.
"Then Liu Zhang is a human being, and we are human beings too!"
"Then Liu Zhang has four limbs, and so do we!"
"Then Liu Zhang has a big sword, and I also have a big sword!"
As he spoke, he shook the knife in his hand. He probably felt that the shape was different, and the leader's face turned slightly red.
"Anyway! You don't need to panic. If Liu Zhang really dares to come, I will personally chop off his head!"
When the Yellow Turban soldiers heard these heroic words, their fear gradually receded.
None of them had met Liu Zhang, they had only heard about it. Their boss's heroic words gradually subsided their fear.
The Yellow Turban leader looked at his subordinates who were no longer panicking, with a proud look on his face.
It seems that he has the appearance of a general! He calmed down the soldiers' emotions with just a few words.
"Brothers, just move forward, break the city, and plunder as you like!"
"If Liu Zhang really dares to come here, I will resist him alone!"
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
"Generals, obey the order and attack!"
The Yellow Turban leader shouted to the soldiers with a confident look on his face. He wanted to inspire the soldiers' momentum and attack the city wall in one battle.
Jizhou is so big, but he didn't believe that he was so unlucky to meet Liu Zhang.
