The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 179
Hu Cai stood on the barracks, pressed his hands on the barracks wall to support his body, beads of sweat slowly oozed from his forehead.

"Commander, the letter has been sent."

A personal guard hurriedly boarded the camp wall from the horse path, and Hu Cai was slightly relieved by the news.

He saw the Yellow Turbans outside the camp, and after reacting, he immediately sent several groups of messengers to Wangwu Mountain to send a letter to Guo Tai and ask for help from the nearby Yellow Turbans.

Hu Cai followed Guo Tai all the way out from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Naturally, he also saw some clues about the Yellow Turbans outside the camp.

But also because of this, Hu Cai quickly sent a messenger to ask for reinforcements. Right now, he didn't know whether the opponent was an enemy or a friend. He could only consider the worst situation and temporarily regarded the Yellow Turban army outside the camp as an enemy.

Although the camp occupies a dangerous position, there are only more than [-] people among them, and the Yellow Turban Army in the distance has at least [-] people. Hu Cai really does not have the confidence to hold on to the camp.

If the opponent attacks, the best result is that the soldiers in the entire camp fight to the last soldier, and they may be able to hold on for more than seven or eight days, and this is still considering that the opponent has no siege equipment.

The steel forest composed of spears and halberds was slowly pressing towards the camp, and the front line of soldiers dressed in armor and holding shields and halberds almost made Hu Cai's heart stop beating.

"Ugh——"

The continuous sound of horns sounded in the marching Yellow Turban Army. Accompanied by sharp screams and scolding by generals, the entire Yellow Turban Army formation slowly stopped moving forward.

Hu Cai wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and clenched the ring-sword at his waist.

Hu Cai was not the only one who felt the pressure, the entire camp of the Yellow Turban Army was extremely nervous at this time.

The wind was blowing, blowing the khaki-colored banners on the camp, and blowing up countless khaki-colored battle flags not far from the front of the camp.

More than [-] Yellow Turban soldiers stood in formation in front of the camp, and the yellow scarves wrapped around their heads gathered together.

Just like the autumn harvest season, the rice fields on the endless plain are as spectacular as the sea.

Hu Cai narrowed his eyes slightly, and in front of him a group of cavalry with yellow flags was galloping from the formation of the Yellow Turban Army outside the camp.

With a distance of more than one mile, the team of cavalry arrived on a mound in front of the camp in an instant, only seventy or eighty steps away from the camp guarded by Hu Cai.

Hu Cai looked carefully, this group of soldiers was indeed dressed like a Yellow Turban Army, just when Hu Cai was hesitating whether to send troops out of the camp to negotiate with them.

Holding a scepter, wearing a yellow scarf around his head, and wearing a Taoist robe, Fu Zhu had already taken a step ahead, and slowly rode forward.

Seeing that the soldiers on the camp were a little nervous, and even two or three people opened their bows and crossbows, Hu Cai quickly turned around and ordered: "Don't shoot the arrows."

If someone in the camp really shoots arrows, even if it is a friend or not an enemy, it will be difficult to tell at that time.

Tian Zhong was ordered to go on a mission, and he was a little nervous at first, but now he saw the soldiers in the camp with yellow scarves on their heads and the yellow flags flying, the tension in his heart disappeared for some reason.

Tian Zhong pulled the docile war horse under his crotch, and said loudly: "A certain is the Taixing Taiping Dao talisman Zhu Tian Zhong, are there believers in my Taiping Dao in the camp?"

"Tai Xing Tai Ping Dao?"

Hu Cai poked his head out, observed the Fu Zhu near the camp, and replied.

"We are indeed believers of the Taiping Dao, but shouldn't you be in the Taihang Mountains, why did you come from Shangdang County?"

Tian Zhong asked with some doubts: "Could it be that you don't know what happened in Shangdang County?"

Seeing that the rest of the knights hadn't stepped forward, Hu Cai stood by the camp wall and talked to Tian Zhong with half of his body exposed: "I only knew that General Xu went south to fight the Han army in Kuicheng and personally beheaded Zhu Jun, but I didn't hear that What happened in Shangdang County."

Tian Zhong replied: "After the great virtuous master killed Zhu Jun, he followed Taihang Xing all the way to the north, first broke the Gaodu City, and then broke the Han army in Changping. Now the thirteen cities of Shangdang County, all the townships have been settled. Return to Huang Tian."

"The reinforcements of the Han army in Bingzhou were blocked by our army in the northern part of Shangdang County. Both the northeast of Shangdang County are controlled by our army. This time, the great virtuous teacher sent me here to take down Wangwu and Taiyue. , control the pass, and isolate the Han army outside the pass."

"Shangdang County has already belonged to Huang Tian?"

The Yellow Turban soldiers in the camp were all shocked by the news. Although some of them doubted what Tian Zhong said, Tian Zhong and others did come from the direction of Shangdang County, which cannot be faked.

You must know that if you want to go south from Shangdang County, you must pass through Gaodu City in Shangdang County.

Tian Zhong had a panoramic view of the chaotic scene in the camp, and he continued: "Since you say you are believers in the Taiping Dao, you dare to ask who Qu Shuai is. We have never heard of the existence of the Yellow Turban Army in Wangwu Mountain."

Hu Cai calmed down and said: "Our leader is Guo Tai, Qu Shuai of Taiping Road in Wei County. We entered Taihang Mountain from Fukouxing in the seventh year of Guanghe and went all the way south to Wangwu. It also belongs to Huang Tian's rule."

"Guo Tai..."

Tian Zhong recalled the list of Qushuai in Taipingdao, and it seemed that there was indeed a Qushuai whose name was Guo Tai.

Hu Cai heard Tian Zhong's address, and asked suspiciously: "Is the great virtuous teacher still there?"

General Tiangong, General Earth, and General Rengong are already dead, so who can dare to be called a great virtuous teacher?
"My lord is the personal disciple of General Rengong, who is in charge of the fairy book "Taiping Jing". Now it is a place of thousands of miles between Shangdang and Taihang. He killed Zhu Jun in battle and rejected Lu Zhi in the north. He is famous all over the world and has already been promoted to a great virtuous man. Master, the master of the way of peace."

Hu Cai frowned slightly and replied.

"Since both of our armies are believers in the Taiping Dao, you also want to occupy Wangwu Mountain to prevent the Han army from the south from entering Shangdang. My Commander Qu is sitting in the mountain. Naturally, the Han army cannot threaten Shangdang County from Wangwu Mountain. How about Temporarily retreat your troops, and wait for us to find out the situation in Shangdang County."

"Just listening to what you say here alone is really unconvincing."

Tian Zhong thought for a while and suggested.

"I'm just a talisman, and I still can't make the decision on the matter of retreating. Since the commander wants to know the situation in Shangdang County, why not send an envoy out of the camp, and go to the eldest son city of Shangdang County with our army's envoys, and meet the general. Good teacher, when they return to the camp, the commander will naturally know whether what I said is true or not."

"This is a way..."

Hu Cai nodded, and sent envoys to the city of the eldest son. When those envoys came back, they would naturally know whether what this person said was true or false, and he could also hold the troops outside the camp to stop temporarily.

But Hu Cai was also a little worried, these Yellow Turban soldiers wanted to lure his people out of the camp, and took the opportunity to find out what was true in the camp, but they still agreed.

"According to what you said, but it will take some time to select personnel. I will send someone with you to the eldest son city to meet the great virtuous teacher tomorrow. Do you think this is okay?"

The camp is well equipped and the terrain is dangerous. If you delay for another day and a half, you will definitely be able to wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

"Okay, just as the commander said, then I will return to the formation first and report to my general."

"Fu Zhu walk slowly."

Hu Cai arched his hands and saluted.

After Tian Zhong agreed, he led his horse back to the group of knights, and those knights of the Yellow Turban Army quickly withdrew from the mound and galloped all the way to the formation of the Yellow Turban Army outside the camp.

Hu Cai also let out a long sigh of relief as he looked at the group of cavalrymen that were slowly blurring in front of him.
