Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

As soon as Dong Zhao finished speaking, he saw a group of horses galloping in the distance, with the word "Zhang" written on the black banner.

Soon, there was a sea of ​​people and horses under the tower.

"Sir... Sir, the enemy army... the enemy army is coming!" The county magistrate pointed down, shaking all over.

Dong Zhao glanced at him and said unhappily: "As a county magistrate, how can you be so panicked! If you are timid, leave on your own and don't disturb the morale of the army!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir, thank you!" After hearing this, the county magistrate hurried down the tower as if he had been pardoned.

Dong Zhao looked back, his eyes full of contempt, and then winked at the sergeant beside him.

The sergeant understood and turned to go downstairs.

At this time, a general in the enemy formation urged his horse forward.

Dong Zhao looked from afar and saw that the general was riding a yellow-maned horse, holding a saber in his hand, with a face painted with ink and a beard, looking like a fierce and evil spirit. The general was not wearing a helmet, but an iron hoop with two sharp horns on both sides, like ox horns. His hair was tied up with a yellow hairband.

This man was none other than Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, and one of the 36 Yellow Turbans.

After the defeat of the Yellow Turbans, he gathered the remaining troops, absorbed bandits and refugees from all directions, and formed the famous "Black Mountain Army".

Zhang Niujiao stopped his horse, looked up at the tower, and pointed the saber in his hand at the city. Under the sunlight, the cold light immediately shone.

"Listen, people on the city. I am Zhang Niujiao, the commander of the Black Mountain Army. I am here with my troops today. If you know what's good for you, open the city and surrender quickly to avoid being annihilated. Otherwise, I will break the city and leave no one alive, young or old!"

Zhang Niujiao shouted angrily, his voice shook the sky, and the soldiers and civilians on the city trembled all over when they heard his words. They were terrified.

Dong Zhao, however, remained calm, walked out slowly, looked down, and said loudly: "General, why did you raise this nameless army?"

"The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established! The Han Dynasty is corrupt, and the people have suffered greatly. I am following the will of the great virtuous teacher and saving the people from danger. How can I be an nameless soldier!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhao shouted sternly: "The Yellow Turban rebels rebelled against the emperor, claiming to save the people, but actually harming them! Zhang Jiao didn't know the destiny and lost his life in vain. You are also going to follow him. Following in his footsteps, aren't you really afraid of the law?"

"Hahaha! Stop talking nonsense. Since the day I followed the great sage, I have put life and death aside. Why do you need to say more, you corrupt scholar? If you don't want to surrender, come down and fight, don't bother to argue here!"

After saying that, Zhang Niujiao looked at the tower and saw that in addition to the soldiers stationed on the city, there were many civilians holding sticks, hoes and other things, standing among the troops.

Hahaha!

Zhang Niujiao was very happy.

This must be because there are few soldiers in the city, so they had to call the common people to defend the city.

I have 50,000 troops in my hands. Today, this Yantao must be broken!

Zhang Niujiao brandished his sword and said to the people upstairs: "Listen, people in the city. You are oppressed by the dog officials on weekdays. Today, I am here with my righteous army to rescue you. Do you still want to work for these dog officials? If you turn back from your mistakes, the Yellow Heaven will protect you. If you are stubborn, you will die!"

"Bah! Yellow Turban evil thieves, my father and brother were coerced by you and died tragically on the battlefield!"

"That's right. Last year, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, burning, killing and looting. If it weren't for Lord Dong, we would have died long ago! If you want to enter the city today, step over our corpses first!"

"We swear to live and die with Yan Tao. The city is alive as long as the people are alive, and the city is destroyed and the people die!"

"The city is alive as long as the people are alive! The city is destroyed and the people die!"

On the top of the city, the crowd was indignant for a while, and many people denounced the evil deeds of the Yellow Turbans.

Julu County is Zhang Jiao's hometown and the place most affected by the "Yellow Turban Rebellion".

Many innocent people were just followers of the "Taiping Dao" at first, and they had no idea that they were going to rebel, but they were also dragged into it and died in the chaos.

These people originally had a peaceful life, but because of the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", the entire Julu and even the entire Jizhou suffered the baptism of war, and wives and children were separated, and families were broken up.

They finally settled down in the small county of Yantao, and finally met a good official like Mr. Dong. Now the bandits are coming again, how can they not rise up to resist?

Under the tower, Zhang Niujiao listened to the abuse from the tower and couldn't help getting angry.

These people don't know what's good for them. The great sage teacher is here to save the world!

Since it's so unbearable, just kill them all!

Immediately, he waved his hand and shouted: "Attack!"

With an order, the bandit army pressed forward like a tide.

Dong Zhao's face was as white as water, his eyes were frosty, and he uttered two words gently.

"Release the arrows."

Instantly, the archers on the city drew their bows and arrows, and shot them into the sky. The arrows instantly rained down like raindrops.Falling down like a stone.

Accompanied by screams, dozens of bandits fell to the ground, but the bandits were numerous, and the people behind them pressed up again in an instant.

Not long after, ladders were erected on the city wall.

Although the archers kept shooting arrows, it was still a drop in the bucket, and the bandits had already climbed up along the ladder.

"Throw stones!"

After Dong Zhao said this, the people on the side picked up large stones from behind and threw them at the bandits.

"Ah!"

"Woo wow!"

Waves of screams came one after another, and the bandits who were climbing the city were immediately hit by these stones and their brains burst, and they fell to the bottom of the city and died.

Those who were lucky enough to avoid the stones were celebrating their luck, but they were pierced through by the long spears of the soldiers on the city.

"Go, keep going!" Zhang Niujiao was immediately furious and ordered his men to continue attacking the city.

Another round of arrows rained down, and dozens of bandits fell in response, but there were too many bandits pressing forward from behind, and the battle was stalemate.

On a hillside five miles outside the north gate, Zhang Chen was sitting on his horse, looking far towards the direction of Yingtao.

Although several miles away, he was high up and had a panoramic view of the battle situation in Yingtao.

Zhang Chen could see clearly that all four gates had launched attacks, but the east gate was obviously the most advantageous, not only with the two armies of Bai Rao and Sui Gu, but also with siege equipment such as ladders and battering rams.

It seems that Zhang Niujiao divided his troops into three groups in order to disperse the defenders in the city so that the east gate could break the city smoothly!

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and said to Qu Yi: "Brother Qu."

"My dear brother."

"Please ask Brother Qu to go to the camp first and encircle from the right to annihilate the Ximen bandit army!"

"Don't worry, my dear brother, I will make these traitors know how powerful I am today!"

After saying this, Qu Yi waved his long sword and shouted: "Go to the camp first and follow me to charge!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The eight hundred first-climbers responded in unison. Qu Yi threw the reins and galloped on his horse, and the eight hundred first-climbers followed him and headed straight to the right.

Zhang Chen pointed to the north gate and said to Zhang He: "Junyi, let's fight side by side today! Let those thieves know the might of our Han army!"

Zhang He clasped his fists and said: "I am willing to follow the general!"

Zhang Chen smiled knowingly, then took out a message bullet from his arms and pointed it to the sky.

There was a whistle, and a beam of fire shot straight into the sky.

Zhang Chen pointed his spear and shouted: "Brothers, today is the time to make achievements. Follow me into the enemy camp and wipe out the thieves! Charge!"

After Zhang Chen said this, he galloped on his horse. Behind him, six thousand elite cavalrymen poured down like a mountain torrent.
