The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 51
In fact, as Wei Tao expected, those who can become aristocratic families are actually very sober.

There is no need to wait for Wei Tao or Huang Wen to speak. The people in charge of various affairs just ask for help, whether it is materials or manpower, basically as long as it is really needed, they are willing to provide it free of charge.

Soon, more than [-] people were recruited in the entire city of Chenliu, even if they were facing the Yellow Turbans outside the city, they could still fight.

"The yellow scarf is handsome, Zhao Jie? I haven't heard of it."

Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy will never end in a hundred battles, so Wei Tao naturally wanted to find out who was leading the army, but he turned out to be an unknown guy.

"This is brother Zhao Yi. It is said that he came here to avenge his brother."

Hearing the report, Wei Tao just shook his head, at least in Wei Tao's opinion, that Zhao Jie is not a great person.

Looking outside the city, he saw that although the camps outside the city had already entered the night, there were dots of stars flickering from time to time, and the torches erected high in front of each camp, Wei Tao knew that even if he tried to steal a camp, the possibility of success was not high.

"It seems that we can only see what the Yellow Turbans are going to do. The Yellow Turbans are all made by common people, and they must not have much food reserves. As long as we can support it for a period of time, the Yellow Turbans will definitely collapse without a fight!"

Listening to Wei Tao's words, everyone couldn't help nodding.

It's just that everyone, including Wei Tao, did not expect that the Yellow Turban Army could develop and grow to such an extent in a short period of time, and it has to be said that they are capable.

Only on the second day, I saw countless yellow turbans surrounded from all directions. From a distance, a team different from the ordinary yellow turbans was supervising the formation at the rear.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. The year is Jiazi, and the world is peaceful. Friends, with the protection of a great virtuous teacher, we will be invincible and invincible. If you die for the holy war, your soul will surely ascend to the world of peace. .Fight for great virtuous teachers! Fight for a peaceful world!"

"Fight for great virtuous teachers! Fight for a peaceful world!"

Naturally, Wei Tao couldn't hear how Zhao Jie was instigating many yellow scarves behind him, but he understood very well that he saw countless yellow scarves charging towards Chenliu County City carrying extremely simple ladders.

"Fire arrows!"

There were at least [-] people on the other side's charge. Naturally, Wei Tao couldn't let them succeed. As soon as he gave an order, he saw arrows raining down one after another.

If Zhao Yi had led the army before, that alone would have been enough to make those Yellow Turbans who were ordinary people dare not advance.

But this time Zhao Jie is clearly ready.

Those yellow scarves chanted 'great virtuous teacher' one by one, even if they were shot by arrows, they had no reason to retreat and cry, but instead rushed towards Chen Liu desperately.

"Damn the Yellow Turban Bandit! Even a mere bandit has such a will!"

Zhang Liao couldn't help cursing. Originally, according to Zhang Liao's thinking, without shields and other protective equipment, no one would be able to withstand such a blow with only flesh and blood.

No matter how elite soldiers are, their morale will plummet when they see the people around them suffer such easy casualties.

"Unfortunately, if there is a catapult, it may be a good thing. Now we can only try our best to delay it."

Compared with Zhang Liao, Wei Tao's complexion is better.

Although the battle formation that Wei Tao experienced was similar to that of Zhang Liao, Wei Tao could imagine the astonishing fighting power that those Yellow Turban soldiers could unleash under religious fanaticism.

It's a pity, let alone the catapults, more than half of these bows and arrows are provided by various aristocratic families.

There were no catapults to be found in the entire Chenliu city.

"Kill!"

Under the impact of the Yellow Turban Army regardless of casualties, only hundreds of lives were lost, but more than 20 ladders were directly erected on the city wall, and each Yellow Turban was immediately attacked by the city wall.

"Chen Liu is right behind us, and our folks are right behind us. If the Yellow Turban bandits invade Chen Liu, our family members will be in danger. All the troops will kill me!"

After a long battle, Wei Tao remained undisturbed. With a loud shout, he strode forward, holding a long knife, leaning forward, and slashing towards the ladder with both hands suddenly.

"Crack!"

After all, the ladder was made hastily, and it felt a little unstable when Wei Tao cut it like this.

However, Wei Tao was not planning to cut it off, but with this stability, the place that was stuck on the city wall was suddenly unstable, and Wei Tao pushed hard again, and immediately pushed the ladder down.

Although the other party was soon lifted up by the ladder, the yellow scarf who was climbing was seriously injured or even killed.

More importantly, Wei Tao's battle immediately aroused the bravery of all the soldiers.

Originally, although the private soldiers of various aristocratic families were brave, they had not received much training. Under such circumstances, they were already timid.

But seeing Wei Tao take the lead, his morale was immediately boosted.

"Dangdang... ah... huh..."

All kinds of voices were mixed together, and people fell from the city wall from time to time. Although most of them were Yellow Turban soldiers, under the fanatical belief, from time to time, there were Yellow Turbans who desperately dragged the defenders and fell down the city wall together.

Once they fall down the city wall, they will definitely be killed immediately.

From the outside of the city wall, there are already yellow scarves. When one yellow scarf is killed, another yellow scarf climbs up.

Less than half an hour after the start of the battle, Wei Tao already found that his side was already at a disadvantage.

Originally, the defenders of the city had an advantage, but now these advantages are gradually diminishing. Until now, Wei Tao can only lead the people to barely defend the city wall from being climbed up by the Yellow Turban Army. Wanting to go further, shoot arrows and the like are impossible.

"Damn! I haven't experienced city defense battles, so I'm not prepared enough!"

Wei Tao scolded himself inwardly, knowing that if this continues, the city wall will fall in less than half an hour, and with the terrifying number of Yellow Turbans, Chen Liu will be unable to hold it at all.

"Dian Wei, lead the reserve team up!"

It was the first time that the battle was to use the reserve team. I have to say that Wei Tao's defense of the city this time was indeed a bit of a failure.

However, as soon as the reserve team of thousands of people left in advance joined, the effect was extremely obvious, especially Dian Wei, who brandished his double halberds and charged forward, and soon beheaded all the yellow scarves who were just about to rush to the top of the city.

"Go! Burn those ladders!"

These reserve teams are not simply having sufficient physical strength. Half of them, after stabilizing the situation, just brought up all the fire oil prepared in the rear.

Immediately, a large piece of kerosene poured down, and several torches fell together, immediately burning under the city.

"what……"

Under the fanatical belief, the Yellow Turban Army gathered under the city wall when there was no threat of arrows, which gave the fire oil more room to play.

There were bursts of miserable cries, even on a tragic battlefield, people couldn't help but feel panic in their hearts.

"withdraw!"

Zhao Jie had been supervising the battle at the back of the formation, and when he saw the Yellow Turbans attacking the city wall, he just wanted to fight.

However, the countless kerosene pouring down is equivalent to creating a long river of flames under the city wall in a short period of time, which cannot be filled by the current Yellow Turban Army at all.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Jie could only order to retreat viciously but helplessly.

"Phew... I didn't expect that just one day would be so tragic, and the Yellow Turban bandits are not without merit."

The pungent burning smell rose into the sky outside the city, and looking at the corpses piled up below the city, Wei Tao felt disgusted with this era for the first time.

No matter how good it is, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era were all times when the great Han fought among themselves and lost their vitality.

Being born in such an era is a kind of luck for the elite, but it is the greatest pain for ordinary people.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

At the end of the dynasty, the common people may not only suffer, but find it difficult to survive, and their lives may be in danger at any time.

"Wen Yuan, immediately count the supplies and personnel in the city to see how much combat power is left. Although the Yellow Turban bandits retreated this time, with their numbers, I am afraid they will make a comeback soon."

Shaking his head, throwing that emotion out of his mind, Wei Tao gave the order immediately.

"promise!"

After some inventory, the situation was indeed not good. Under the impact of those yellow scarves who didn't care about it and only wanted to die with others, the entire city defense had lost more than 500 people, and more than [-] people were seriously injured.

The situation is very bad.

"Ziyu, at least 2 people were used in that round of yellow scarves, and thousands of people were left behind. It's not bad to have such a result."

Seeing Wei Tao's expression, Zhang Liao couldn't help but speak.

Wei Tao shook his head slightly at this time. He was not discouraged by this, but thought that if this continues, he might not be able to hold on for three days.

"When you shoot a man, you shoot the horse first; when you capture a thief, you first capture the king; you must first capture the leader of the bandit!"

Wei Tao has experienced great victories, all beheaded first, so he naturally understands the mystery of this.

"Ziyu, do you think it's raiding the camp?"

Zhang Liao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, the simplest, easiest and most powerful way to win quickly is to attack the camp.

"Although the Yellow Turbans are lawless, at this time the Yellow Turbans are in the midst of their victory. If they want to attack the camp, I am afraid it will be impossible."

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Wei Tao nodded slightly.

While Wei Tao and Zhang Liao were discussing, in the Yellow Turban camp, Zhao Jie was also thinking about how to capture Chenliu County.

"This time I brought the Yellow Turban army here. If I can't capture Chenliu quickly, what will the big boss think of me in the future? It's just a small Chenliu county town, and tens of thousands of people have never been allowed to enter. How can this make me face in the big city?" Discuss in front of the leader!"

Zhao Jie was very restless, he believed in the Yellow Turban Dao, but he still knew something about marching and fighting.

"Now that the morale of the first battle has been exhausted, it must be difficult to organize a large army to forcibly attack the city. People's hearts are fluctuating, but it is difficult for me to control my actions."

"Don't worry, general. I, Huang Jin Dao Shun Tian, ​​is destined to overthrow the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop. Now I have a method that can be used. Please listen to it, general."

"Oh? Tell me quickly!"

Hearing what the deputy in charge of evangelism said, Zhao Jie was overjoyed immediately.
