The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 282 Yan Zhong
The onslaught of Zhang Baiqi's army still failed to capture Liu Shijun's camp. When the fierce battle went to sunset, the sound of gold sounded from Zhang Baiqi's army formation at the foot of the mountain.

Unlike before, this time in Liu Shijun's camp, there were no cheers, no shouts, and only silence.

A blood-stained army soldier sat on the broken camp wall with dim eyes. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell of blood, but Liu Shi didn't have the time to manage it at the moment. exhaust.

Beside him, his robes and the corpses of his enemies were lying on the ground. There were different expressions on the lifeless faces, some were ferocious, some were angry, but more of them were fear...

The attack of Zhang Bai's cavalry suddenly became several times stronger than before, and even in some places where the fighting was the most intense, the corpses under the camp wall were piled up so that people could climb over the camp wall directly.

The flowing blood gathered in the low-lying places, congealing into puddles of blood.

Blood is the smell that attracts beasts the most, but in the place where the two sides fought, the beasts in a radius of more than ten miles seemed to have disappeared. The smell of blood here is too strong.

The fierce battle scared off all the beasts lurking in the forest.

In this case, there is no beast that is more ferocious than a human being.

As night fell, countless torches were lit, and both sides went down to the bright camp. The lights were lit up, as if the stars in the sky had fallen into the mountains, and beside the stars were shining knives and guns and murderous soldiers.

Outside Liu Shi's camp, there were no more roars of beasts or birds, and even the sound of insects was subdued.

The lights in the camp were brightly lit, and the soldiers of Liu Shijun near the camp wall were still cleaning up the battlefield. It added a few points of terror.

Liu Shijun's archers on the arrow tower looked at the mountain road and the area around the camp wall vigilantly. Zhang Bai's cavalry's onslaught during the day kept their nerves in a state of tension. Until now, there was no way to relax. .

In Liu Shijun's large tent of the Chinese army, there was silence at the moment.

The hundreds of days of heavy casualties made it difficult for everyone to smile and speak, and if Zhang Bai's cavalry maintained such an attack intensity, they would have to abandon the camp here if they persisted for another two to three days at most.

And if they gave up the camp at this pass, there would be no place for them to counterattack until Jingxing, and they couldn't even delay Zhang Bai's cavalry.

A thin man with a mustache in the tent looked hesitant to speak when he looked at the people around him who bowed their heads and said nothing.

Liu Shi sat in the first seat, so he could see his face clearly, but he didn't ask.

In the end, the thin man couldn't help but said: "Lieutenant Liu, we have resisted for so many days for the Yellow Turban Army, why the reinforcements mentioned in the letter haven't arrived yet."

Although the rest of the people in the tent did not echo, they also pricked up their ears to hear Liu Shi's explanation.

Most of them have received Liu Shi's favor, and some of them feel that the Yellow Turban army is powerful and don't like Zhang Baiqi, so they also voted under Liu Shi's command.

There were not many casualties before, and the morale of the army was still high when Zhang Bai's cavalry army repeatedly encountered obstacles.

Moreover, Xu An sent a batch of money and food to stabilize Zhang Baiqi before, but Zhang Baiqi launched a rebellion before the money and food arrived, beheading Ping Han, Daji and others.

So at that time, no one cared about the reinforcement of the Yellow Turban Army, but now the Zhang Bai Cavalry Army has changed its previous style and joined the direct line of troops, and forcibly forced the bandit army to attack the camp.

In just half a day, Liu Shi's army had already killed nearly [-] people in battle. Such a loss made the bandits who belonged to Liu Shi's subordinates feel quite heartbroken.

Liu Shi was not in a hurry to answer the thin man's question, he held a wine glass to drink carefully, and at the same time examined the expressions of everyone in the tent without leaving a trace.

Although the expressions of the people in the tent were different, Liu Shi still found that many people were already withdrawing from their hearts.

Liu Shi frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but he also knew that these people were only temporarily gathered under his command for various reasons, and compared with his original direct line troops, both in terms of combat power and execution ability were inferior Several grades.

Liu Shi didn't blame these people for their resignation, the fighting during the day was really thrilling, several times the bandits of Zhang Bai's cavalry rushed into the camp wall.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who escorted the money and food were all soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and there were more than [-] soldiers. Otherwise, the camp might be at risk of being broken during the day.

Seeing that Liu Shi was speechless, a yellow-faced man with a short beard said anxiously: "Brother Liu Shi, we have all received your kindness. I heard that you were ambushed by Zhang Baiqi. So I am willing to help Brother Liu Shi, but now my subordinate Erlang has suffered heavy casualties, Zhang Baiqi is powerful, how about we join the Yellow Turban Army and go out to fight again?"

"It's not that my old Zhu Jiu doesn't want to help Big Brother Liu Shi. I fought against Big Brother Liu Shi during the day, and you all saw it. My sons and daughters sitting in the cottage have been guarding the camp wall, and no one has taken a half step back."

With slightly red eyes, Zhu Jiu said in a deep voice.

"When I left the village, there were [-] of my subordinates, but today, there are only [-]. If it weren't for Brother Liu Shi, I, Zhu Jiu, would have run away long ago."

Liu Shi also put down his wine glass when he heard the words, there were many people in the tent who were stealing, raping and playing tricks, but Zhu Jiu really didn't complain at all before, and his subordinates were also the most valiant in battle.

Comparing his heart with his heart, he can't let the brothers who are willing to help be chilled.

Among so many people, he actually helped Zhu Jiu the least, it was just a kindness, but Zhu Jiu was the one who supported him the most among so many people.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and a scribe in blue, wearing a jinxian crown with slightly white temples, and holding a silk fan slowly walked into the tent.

The eyes of everyone in the tent were attracted by this person. Most of these people who look like scribes come from powerful families. How could they be in a camp of bandits like them, and they are sure that this person was in the past? I have never seen it.

Many people in the tent cast their consulting eyes on Liu Shi.

Liu Shi also stood up, and before Liu Shi could introduce, the scribe had already spoken.

"Everyone in the tent, you may have heard of my name taboo, my surname is Yan Mingzhong, and my name is Enzhi."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Yan Zhong's name.

The status of Yan Zhong's Yellow Turban Army is almost second only to Xu An, and they know that they are in the Taihang Mountains.

The battle of attacking Shangdang County and Kuicheng was decided, and the front army of the Yellow Turban Army beheaded Zu Mao and Han Dang, two strong generals of the Han Army.
