The Invincible Hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 8
Zhao Xiang slept deeply this time.However, just after dawn, the horns of Wancheng defenders startled Zhao Xiang, who was still sleeping.

"What's going on?!" Zhao Xiang immediately got up and put on his equipment, and asked loudly outside the tent.

The guard outside the tent has been replaced by Tang Qi, he hastily entered the tent with a dagger and long spear, and then reported to Zhao Xiang: "The moth thieves outside the city are attacking the city, and at the same time they are rushing into the car with a well!"

Tang Qi's eyes did not look flustered, and he continued: "Master, the thief is very powerful, please make plans early!"

Zhao Xiang heard the words with a dignified expression, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the top of the city to have a look."

When Zhao Xiang climbed to the top of the wall, he gasped.I saw that there were seven tall siege towers erected in the Yellow Turban Army, and in front of these siege towers, there were even two charging cars similar to descendant tanks.At this moment, the densely packed yellow scarf bandit soldiers are pushing the chariot and the siege tower (jinglan), chanting the chant that resounds through the world in unison, and slowly advancing towards Wancheng.And these are just the offensives on the east wall!

Wancheng County Mansion received news last night that a body was found in Li Ru's room, but Li Ru was nowhere to be found.Zhang Xun, who was still thinking about it at home, wrote swearingly that Li Ru must have seen the imminent disaster, so he defected to the bandit army.Ask the envoy to punish him.Chu Gong, the county guard, also had a headache and couldn't sleep all night.

The news that the thieves were attacking the city with heavy weapons this morning made Chu Gong's already vicissitudes look even more haggard.Putting on his battle armor, Chu Gongqiang walked into the meeting hall with some vigor.With a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, "How is the recruitment of the township warriors? How much is the stock of military supplies?"

Qiao Rui and the others had been waiting in the hall early.Hearing this, he immediately clasped his hands and replied: "A total of more than [-] recruits have been recruited in the past two days. In addition, the big households in the city have also transferred their own guest guards to assist, and a total of more than [-] people have been recruited. It has been supplemented by the centurions. , team rate."

Jun Cheng also came out and said: "I have searched the city and collected more than [-] usable arrows. In addition, there are big merchants in the city who donated twelve pieces of armor and two hundred long halberds."

In this way, there are only more than [-] soldiers in the city who can fight, including new recruits.Chu Gong stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "Forget it, everyone, let's go to the top of the city to see how arrogant the thief can be. Qiao Luoying, put aside the matter of Li Ru for the time being, you go to Zhang Xun first, and tell him to get out of here quickly." Go to the top of the city to fight!" After saying that, he leaned on his sword and walked out quickly.

Most of the county guards and state ministers in the Han Dynasty were able to govern the army when they were on horseback and calm the people when they were off their horses. They were true all-rounders in civil and military affairs.

Outside the south wall of Wancheng, there are more soldiers and siege equipment of the Yellow Turban.Most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were ragged and skinny.However, they are in good spirits, and the sound of the chant that comes out of them is even more consistent with the world.Slowly push the siege equipment closer to the top of the city.

At the gate of the south city, the soldiers in charge of guarding the city were overwhelmed by the huge army of the Yellow Turban.The footsteps of most of the county soldiers involuntarily retreated slowly to the back of the city.What's more, he directly dropped the sword in his hand, turned around and ran down the city screaming.It's just that before these people took two steps, they were chopped down by Chu Gong's personal soldiers who were holding the formation at the tower.During the peacetime, these people were the diners supported by Chu Gong, and they automatically became Chu Gong's soldiers during the war.

"Anyone who dares to retreat again will be the leader of the owl!" A resolute-faced junior led Chu Gong's soldiers.Said in a cold voice to the county soldiers guarding the city.At the same time, the steel knife in his hand was still dripping with bright red blood, like a demon.Seeing this, the county soldiers finally stopped retreating, but returned to the city tremblingly.

At the same time, Chu Gong led everyone up to the gate tower of the South City.He waved his hands to indicate that the soldiers did not need to salute.Chu Gong himself looked at the huge army of the Yellow Turban without saying a word.After a while, Chu Gongfang said to the school: "Thank you for your hard work, Feihui."

The little principal clasped his hands and replied: "My lord, don't worry about it, this is what Niuxi (word Feihui) should do."

The county magistrate behind Chu Gong said softly to Chu Gong: "Your envoy, if something cannot be done, please make plans early."

"Well..." Chu Gong nodded slightly, and said with a sad expression: "Fei Hui, if you can't do anything, you will lead the personal army to cover the officials in the county and the family members of a certain mansion to break through. I will order later Zhang Caiji led the county soldiers to protect you." After speaking, Chu Gong seemed to have a few strands of gray hair on his temples, and his face suddenly became very old.

"Make the king (lord) think twice!"

Shaking his head, he ignored Niu Xi and Jun Cheng's advice.Chu Gong went on to say to himself: "A certain Chu Gong is the governor of Nanyang County. He hunts down the officials of a place on behalf of the emperor! How can he flee in a hurry because of a mere moth thief? A certain today, he will live and die with Wancheng! Only then can I perfect myself and repay His Majesty's kindness!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Gong pulled out the saber from his waist with all his strength.He said loudly: "Soldiers! Let's kill thieves together with my lord!"

Behind the female wall in the east city, Zhao Xiang supported the female wall with a dignified expression, with a hint of worry in his brows.The Jinglan of the Yellow Turban Army is getting closer and closer, and their shouts are getting louder and louder.It was like thunder, shaking in the ears of Zhao Xiang and other soldiers.Zhao Xiang tightly held the short sword issued by the county treasury in his hand, but his heart slowly calmed down because of the upcoming battle.

Tang Qi came to Zhao Xiang and reported: "My lord, there is a person who calls himself Yang Hong and wants to see my lord."

Yang Hong is here?This is not the time.Zhao Xiangqiang suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said lightly: "Mr. Yang, please come up here."

Not long after, Yang Hong was brought to Zhao Xiang.Zhao Xiang looked at this person, and asked suspiciously: "Are you that Wen Yougong's younger brother Yang Hong?"

The person who was brought up was wearing a green shirt, and he looked like a scribe, but with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes.There was even an obscene aura in his expression, no wonder Zhao Xiang felt suspicious.Even though Li Ru and Li Wenyou had a sinister face, they had a gentle demeanor.Unlike the person in front of him, he was short of writing "I am a little thief" on his face.And the name. . .Yang Hong. .The gap with the deity is too big.

The man didn't care about Zhao Xiang's suspicious eyes, and bowed to Zhao Xiang.Fang Dao: "Then it is Yang Hong and Yang Zipeng. If you dare to ask, is it Zhao Ziyu's team leader?"

Zhao Xiang nodded slightly, and said: "This is Zhao Xiang, named Ziyu."

Zhao Xiang was about to continue talking, but he heard the sound of horns outside the city.Zhao Xiang's expression changed, and he immediately leaned out of the female wall to check.I saw that the well fence of the Yellow Turban Army was already close to the moat.

With the sound of the horns from the Yellow Turban Army, hundreds of Yellow Turban bandits rushed out of the siege army formation, carrying sacks of earth and rocks, and rushed to the moat.

Zhao Xiang's expression was shaken, and he murmured: "The siege has finally begun."
