Chapter 20, Beheading
Ten days later!
The captain looked sullen and said to the prefect: "My lord, our food and grass have been robbed by thieves, and now we have less than three days of food and grass!"

Wei Jun's prefect looked surprised and said: "How is it possible, the thieves haven't been fighting us in the mountains, how could they still have the power to hijack our food and grass?"

The captain smiled wryly and said: "There are not many rattan armored thieves fighting us. Judging from the fighting situation in a few days, they have at most a thousand people, and the rattan armored bandits number tens of thousands. A few thousand people are divided to cut off our food roads." It is also possible! The most important thing now is to retreat, as soon as we run out of food, we will become captives of the rattan armor bandits."

But the prefect resolutely said: "No, I can't retreat. If I can't catch Lei Gong this time, I will lose my position as an official!"

It's okay to be an official, but it's a big deal that the official's money hasn't been earned back!I thought that Jizhou had already encircled and suppressed the Yellow Turban bandits once, and there should not be many bandits, so I spent 2000 million yuan to buy the position of the prefect of Wei County, but I didn't expect the bandits here to be so rampant. This time I really miscalculated.

Although the prefect of Weijun is calm, he has secretly regretted it in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have bought an official from Jizhou!

The captain looked helplessly at the idiot eunuch, he didn't want to die with the eunuch, thought for a while and said: "there are more than two thousand rattan thieves who robbed grain and grass, why don't we send a team to encircle them, only grain Only when the road is clear can we continue to fight. And as long as the thieves at the bottom of the mountain are cleared, the thieves at the top of the mountain will be nothing but turtles in the urn!"

The prefect said: "Okay, let's do it according to the method you said."

"Also, it's been so long since we've been fighting, have you found the thief's lair? There are tens of thousands of people here, and it's impossible for them to be invisible!"

The captain said: "I found out, our people saw a lot of fireworks on the Yingzui Cliff, and thought that this is the lair of thieves, but the terrain of Yingzui Cliff is not open to anyone, I'm afraid we may not be able to capture it." !"

When the prefect heard the news, he said with a smile: "It's good to have news. No matter how dangerous the terrain of Yingzui Cliff is, how can a group of mobs resist our fierce lion! Don't worry about the other vine-armored bandits, the army gathers at Yingzui Cliff. Ya Jinfa, I don't believe it, this Thunder Society doesn't even want its own lair!"

Xu Wei discovered this change. In the past, the Han army was running around like headless chickens in the mountains, but now they are heading towards the Eagle's Mouth Cliff. Xu Wei immediately realized that the Han army had discovered his old nest. Let people bring news to Old Man Wang and the others, and let them continue to retreat into the deep mountains, and the old nest is gone.

At the same time, order other troops to continue to harass the march of the Han army and delay their speed to buy time for the large troops to retreat!

And Xu Wei himself led a group of hundreds of people, hiding in the road that the Han army must pass through in broken auspicious costumes.

Through these days of observation, Xu Wei also discovered the location of the prefect of Wei County, but there is no way to get close, but now the prefect has to throw himself into the trap, so it is much easier to ambush.

The prefect still attaches great importance to his own life. The best-preserved one is by his side to protect him, and this one is also the last of the whole army. He didn't retreat quickly if anything happened, but he didn't expect that he would be killed by Xu Wei. Eye on it!
After he led the army to attack Xu Wei's ambush, Xu Wei gave an order, and everyone suddenly stood up and shot arrows at the prefect's position!
"Hoosh!" Hundreds of long arrows shot the prefect directly out of a hedgehog!
The captain looked at this scene in horror, but the prefect had already become a blood man, and he had died when he came over.

The captain thought that he might be dismissed from office, so he looked at Xu Wei and the plants angrily and said, "Kill all these vine armor thieves and avenge the prefect!"

Xu Wei immediately shouted after successfully decapitating: "Everyone retreat, hurry up!"

The others immediately dropped their crossbow arrows and ran into the deep mountain. Xu Wei broke it himself, wielded a machete weighing more than 20 kilograms, and killed more than a dozen Han soldiers in a row.

The Han army didn't expect Xu Wei to be so brave. They were stunned by Xu Wei's aura for a while, and stopped moving. Soon Xu Wei disappeared into the mountains and forests with his people.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The prefect was dead, and the vine-armored bandit was so brave that all the senior generals of the Han army, such as Sima and Marquis, panicked.

The captain said, "Go down the mountain first, and we'll talk about it when we get back to the camp!"

But when they returned to the camp, they saw a probing horse heading straight for the battle of the Chinese army.

"My lord, the rattan armor bandits have breached Yecheng, and are now recruiting troops everywhere. Lord Changshi asks the prefect to retreat and come back to help!"

The captain couldn't believe it and said: "How is it possible? There are not only [-] rattan armored thieves, but there are thousands of defenders in Yecheng alone. How could they be defeated!"

Tan Ma panicked and said: "After the Tengjia bandits went down the mountain, they recruited refugees in Wei County. Soon there were tens of thousands of them. They didn't know what siege weapon they had in their hands. No city could hold them back for a day. They attacked one after another. After setting down three Wubao, and then using the armed refugees of these Wubao, the soldiers finally besieged Yecheng. It took only three days for the vine-armored bandits to chisel through the city wall of Yecheng and break through Yecheng. Now half of Wei County All the county towns have been broken by vine armor bandits."

"The most important thing is that the Yellow Turbans have rebelled again. The whole Jizhou is already full of rebellious bandits. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of them!"

The news was like a bolt from the blue, Du Wei muttered to himself: "I knew I couldn't do this! Sooner or later, the officials will force the people to rebel!"

Then he came back to his senses and said, "Retreat!"

It turns out that Wang Lei's actions this time will cause such a large destructive force, only because the government forced the people to rebel.

Wei County was originally the hardest-hit area of ​​the Yellow Turban Uprising. The local people experienced a year of fighting on the battlefield. The people at the bottom were killed cleanly, or fled to the mountains as refugees.

People with small fortunes are also destitute.Originally, Huangfusong had already reported to the imperial court that he would be exempt from rent and tax for one year in the whole Jizhou, so that the people could have a breather.

But he didn't expect the prefect of Wei Jun to make up for Zhao Zhong's loss and collect last year's tax at this time.How could the poor people get this money, so there were tens of thousands more refugees in Wei County, and the local people were very angry at Wei County officials.

At this time, Wang Lei went down the mountain with 2000 people. After he robbed the army rations, he found that the Han army had used 1000 people to escort the food. He raided several times, but found that he was no match for the Han army.

So he changed his tactics and used the rations he robbed last time to recruit refugees, and in an instant he had tens of thousands of subordinates.

Then he attacked the powerful Wubao like Xu Wei. Although Xu Wei did not give him the black powder, he brought hundreds of crowbars. No worse than Xu Wei.

After having sufficient supplies, they began to learn from the original Yellow Turban Army and attacked the county.

At this time, Wei County had become a crater, which was completely erupted when Wang Lei ignited it.

The refugees attacked the county seat spontaneously, and most of Wei County fell in an instant.

 In the past few days, I thought that the epidemic has been blocked outside the home, and there is no way to report the data. I just came back today, and I will give you a supplementary report of the data growth in the past few days!The day before yesterday, I added 733 points of average bookings, and it is almost [-] points of average bookings. I even have a little wild fantasy that I can really add thousands of average bookings by the end of the month, please support!
