The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 148 True and False Zhu Jun
On the distant horizon, a glimmer of light quietly appeared.

A round of Golden Crow rose from the ground and slowly flew towards the sky. The clouds above Sunflower City were covered with a layer of gold.

The darkness slowly left the earth, and the whole world ushered in light again.

There was a mess outside the city of Kuicheng, and the smoke from cooking was slowly rising from the various camps of the Yellow Turban Army.

The camp of the Yellow Turban Army was filled with the joy of a great victory. The sergeants of the Yellow Turban Army who were eating were talking loudly about the great victory at night.

Chen Shizhen (eight o'clock).

The camp of the Yellow Turban Army boiled against the sky, and the drums sounded

On the tower of Kuicheng, Wang En didn't sleep all night. He stood on the tower wearing Zhu Jun's armor all night.

Zhu Jun's fiery red banner still stood on the city wall. The news that Zhu Jun had left Kuicheng was only known to a few generals in the army.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of rumbling war drums echoed in the wilderness, and the Yellow Turban Army outside the city had already begun to gather.

Wang En looked at the mighty Yellow Turban army below the city tower, and Wang En had a panoramic view of the large area of ​​fire in the east last night. Wang En knew in his heart that Zhu Jun had probably encountered an accident.

Wang En couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if the defenders in Sunflower City knew that Zhu Jun was no longer in Sunflower City.

Now the Han army in the city knew that the night attack last night had failed, and their morale was low, and they didn't see many people returning to the camp, so they became suspicious.

The Yellow Turban army is mighty, and at every hour and hour, the army formation of the Yellow Turban Army has spread out in the south and east of Kuicheng.

As early as when Xu An decided to go south to fight Zhu Jun's decisive battle with the Han army in Hanoi, he sent a letter to Tianjing Pass immediately.

Let the defenders of Tianjing Pass build siege equipment, and now all kinds of siege equipment are readily available, all brought from Tianjing Pass on the day of the expedition.

It is to consider the situation if the Han army defends Kuicheng.

"Ugh——"

The horns of the Yellow Turban Army came from afar, and a yellow turban cavalry with red flags flying out from the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Han troops guarding the city wall looked at the strange Yellow Turban cavalry in surprise, and Wang En followed suit.

It's just that the closer the cavalry was, the more ugly Wang En's face became.

The red flags held by the cavalrymen of the Yellow Turban Army were all flags dropped by the Han army.

The most eye-catching in the cavalry is a fiery red general flag, which is exactly Sun Jian's general flag.

The voices of people on the wall of Kuicheng gradually became noisy, and all the guarding Han soldiers looked at the city in horror.

That's Sun Jian!That is the fierce tiger of Jiangdong!

Sun Jian, who was invincible and bravely crowned the three armies, beheaded countless generals and captured flags during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

While they were discussing, a knight of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly stepped out of the cavalry formation. Wang En took a closer look and clenched the railing with both hands.

The yellow scarf knight dragged a man with a rope behind his horse, and that man was wearing Zhu Jun's armor!

"The head of Zhu Jun is here! Why don't you come down early to avoid the suffering of swordsmen!"

The Han army on the city wall also recognized Zhu Jun's armor.

"Isn't that the general..."

A chief of the Han army trembled like he was sifting chaff. He looked at the man under the city wall who was being dragged by the knight horse of the Yellow Turban Army, and he could barely speak.

"Isn't the general on the tower? And the big banners are there..."

Another Han soldier had a frightened face, but he also looked puzzled when he looked at the man in Zhu Jun's armor on the tower.

"Blind your dog's eyes, the general is above the city tower, and the armor under the city wall is just a trick of the 'moth thief' sorcerer. Don't be fooled by their sorcery!"

A soldier of the Han army walked quickly across his sword, and shouted loudly, stopping the hustle and bustle here, but the noise of people in other places became louder and louder.

Wang En didn't dare to go down to inspect the army at this time, no better than patrolling the camp at night, and his face could be seen clearly during the day.

Most of the sergeants in Kuicheng knew Zhu Jun's face. As long as Wang En stepped off the tower, everyone would show his face when they saw his face, and then they would know that Zhu Jun was dead.

I'm afraid that the Han army in Kuicheng will collapse in just a moment before the Yellow Turban army comes to attack.

"Order the bed crossbow to fight back! Pass the order, this is the sorcery of the Yellow Turban Army, and the soldiers of all ministries must not be fooled by it."

Wang En immediately made a decision and gave orders loudly.

The messengers with the command flags on their backs passed down Wang En's general orders, and the only bed crossbows on the city wall were pulled away by the strongmen of the Han army.

Outside Kuicheng City, Xu An also saw Zhu Jun's big banner, as well as the figure wearing Zhu Jun's armor on the tower.

"Didn't Zhu Jun be beheaded by the lord yesterday, then this tower?"

Xu Huang looked at Zhu Jun on the tower with a puzzled expression, and asked involuntarily.

Yan Zhong followed Xu An, looked at the city wall of Sunflower City and explained to Gong Du: "That must be someone in the city wearing Zhu Jun's armor, pretending that Zhu Jun is still in the army."

"If it wasn't for the lord's insight to see through Zhu Jun's retreat plan, I'm afraid we would really think that the person above this tower is Zhu Jun himself."

"Shadow Warrior, it's interesting..." Xu An led the claret horse before the army formation, and now he really doubted whether it was Zhu Jun he killed at night.

The man in Zhu Jun's armor on the tower reminded Xu An of a later movie - "Shadow Warrior".

The background of the movie is the Warring States period in Japan. Takeda Shingen defeated the coalition forces of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, but died in the army.

At a critical moment, several retainers secretly found a thief who looked exactly like Shingen and pretended to be Shingen to stabilize the morale of the army, and the story lasted for three years

Xu An scanned the walls of Kuicheng with eagle eyes, carefully observing the defense situation of the Han army.

Sending cavalry to demonstrate under the city with captured military flags did a great blow to the morale of the Han army in the city.

But the defenders in the city reacted quickly. Although the bed crossbow on the wall of Kuicheng city did not hit the knights of the Yellow Turban Army who went to demonstrate.

The knights of the Yellow Turban Army didn't dare to stay too long, and they retreated and left the city of Kuicheng before the second round of crossbow arrows arrived.

Due to the distance, no one could see the face of Zhu Jun's leader clearly, so after a brief commotion.

The Han army in Kuicheng still regained their calm. They all believed that Zhu Jun would not just die like this.

"Although the Han army in the city is in disarray, they think that the main general is still there, and they still have the strength to fight."

After Yan Zhong frowned and thought for a moment, he said to Xu An.

"I thought this was the right time to withdraw troops."

Without waiting for Xu An's words, the impatient Gong Du objected.

"We have won a series of victories, and it is time to wipe out the Han army in Kuicheng in one fell swoop. Why should we retreat at this time?!"

When Xu Huang heard Yan Zhong's words, he also looked at Yan Zhong with some doubts.

"The Zhu Jun on the tower must be a fake. This time, our army has fought fiercely with the Han army in Hanoi for several times, and it is already hurting. Now that our army has killed Zhu Jun and defeated the Han army in Hanoi, why bother to fight for it?" This fake Zhu Jun lost more sergeants?"

"The most urgent task at the moment is to gather the army and enter Shangdang County."

"Then what if this Zhu Jun is real?"

Xu An's eyebrows twitched, he really doubted if this was Zhu Jun's scheme.

It was Zhu Jun's act of abandoning his car to protect his handsome man, which made him think that he killed the real Zhu Jun.

The "Zhu Jun" in Kuicheng is just an illusion to stabilize the morale of the army.

The Taihang Yellow Turbans had achieved their goal, and they did not want to lose any more soldiers, so they gave up the siege, and after looting, they returned to the Taihang Mountains.

But Xu An also knew that this was probably impossible, unless Zhu Jun knew that Xu An went south to the Taihang Mountains, and the purpose of the decisive battle with him was purely for fame.

Instead of the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion, Bocai attacked Changshe, intending to invade Sili, attack Luoyang, shake the rule of the Han Empire, or plunder Hanoi County.

But Xu An's heart was still a little shaken, what if Zhu Jun really saw through his thoughts, what if the Zhu Jun on the tower was the real one?

After experiencing all kinds of things here, Xu An no longer dared to underestimate anyone in this era, let alone the three famous generals at the end of Han Dynasty in history.

Xu An looked at "Zhu Jun" on the tower, and for a moment he was really hesitant.
