"Master, Tang Qi has confirmed that there is a Yellow Turban army team of about 3 people thirty miles east of the plain, moving towards the plain."

"According to the opponent's speed, we can reach the vicinity of the plain in about the day after tomorrow." The soldier said to Zhi Yuan and Xi Zhicai.

Zhiyuan was stunned: "It's only thirty miles, why are you walking so slowly?"

The soldier replied: "Because that team kept attacking and plundering nearby villages and towns, Master Tang Qi estimates that most of the Yellow Turbans in this team are composed of refugees, and the number of elite Yellow Turbans will not exceed [-]."

Xi Zhicai frowned: "But even so, after we arrive in Pingyuan County, won't the group of Yellow Turban thieves gather to [-] people? We are under a lot of pressure with so many people."

It's really not small, they only have an army of two thousand and three now.The corners of Zhiyuan's mouth twitched, it seemed that Pingyuan County's postgraduate entrance examination in this troubled world was coming soon.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhi Yuan: "Master Tang Qi also mentioned in the message that it seems that the Yellow Turban Army is divided into two teams, not a unified team."

"And vaguely saw two banners, one is Guan, the other is Zhang..."

Zhi Yuan nodded, and then pondered again: "One is in charge of Zhang? There seems to be a man named Guan Hai in the Yellow Turban Army... But the one with the surname Zhang, can't it be one of Zhang Jiao's brothers who came here?"

"Zhang Jiao must be ruled out, but Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao are also hard to deal with. Of course, apart from these people, there are other people who are like Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Man, and Zhang Yan. Some are powerful and some are special."

Forget it, no matter who it is, they can only hold on in the end, otherwise everything will be useless.

Xi Zhicai said to Zhi Yuan: "Before those people from Taiping Road come here recently, the guards must strictly check to prevent the enemy from slipping into the city and causing chaos."

"Food, water, and weapons should be patrolled strictly to avoid damage and poisoning by Yellow Turban thieves. A few Zhuangzi outside the city should send someone to inform them. It would be best to move to Pingyuan County, especially those gentry."

"The last thing is to recruit about [-] auxiliary soldiers from among the refugees, among those who have been obedient recently, and step up their training to replace the regular army to defend the city."

"The big households in the city can also let them become monks to guard the city. After all, if the city is broken, they will not be able to recover. The number of enemies is about ten times that of ours. The most likely strategy is to use fatigue. We must properly arrange the rest of the soldiers. Time, don't be dragged down by the enemy."

Xi Zhicai was considered thoughtful, Zhi Yuan nodded and asked his subordinates to do it immediately.Then Zhiyuan sighed: "He's going to die again..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't open the city and surrender. And...they are already rebelling. Even if we don't kill them, those gentry will not stop."

"The ban on the party has been lifted. In exchange, the gentry will definitely take the yellow turban thief. I guess we only need to persist for a few months. Girls don't want women's kindness, and the only ones who suffer when they are soft on them are ourselves. "Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

Zhiyuan shook her head: "Ordinary people are so innocent, they are all big men, why bother to kill each other. Especially as you said, the gentry would use their heads in exchange for their being lifted. I really can't stand it."

"Of course I still have to fight. I just hope not to kill too much. It is true to say that I am a woman. Am I not a girl?"

"It would be great if there was an emperor who was for the common people. Forget it... This will touch the interests of the gentry, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"But Xi Zhicai, what will you do in the future? After the world is in chaos, do you plan to rely on someone to work hard?" Zhi Yuan asked Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai laughed: "Why, the girl also wants to be a lord?"

Zhi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but then sighed: "Unfortunately, I am a woman, this world is a man's world after all."

"I just hope that the people will have a way to survive and be able to eat enough."

Xi Zhicai nodded: "In this plain, many things you do are said to be in the name of your brother, but I have been here for a few months and I can see clearly that the girl is indeed a strange person."

"In order to wait for the girl to help me survive, I have to follow the girl for a long time, so what if I don't worship the lord."

"But as far as I'm concerned...it's better for a girl to marry a capable person. It might be easier to accomplish your goals."

Chapter 52: Sea of ​​People

Two days later, a refugee team of about 500 people wanted to enter this plain county.

Due to the large number of people, the cavalry came to report in advance.Zhiyuan thought for a while and felt that it was better to be on the safe side, so she personally led more than 500 people to the gate of the city quietly, and asked the cavalry not far away to get ready.

There were also hundreds of soldiers at the gate, and these people ordered the refugees to line up and check one by one flexibly before they could enter.

At this time, a bearded man came to the gate of the city, and said to the soldiers, "What? The search is so strict that weapons are not allowed in?"

"This knife of mine is inherited from our ancestors. I can't give it to you casually... so." The man quietly took out a sling of copper coins and put it in the soldier's hand.

The soldier struggled for a while, but shook his head: "This money cannot be taken, our master has regulations, if we violate the regulations, we will be fined."

"You can register your weapons not far away, and we will return your weapons to you when you leave the plain." The soldier pointed to a person who could write not far away, counting the traffic of pedestrians. something to carry.

Weapons can be stored without charge, but they are definitely not allowed to be brought in.The big man frowned, but didn't say anything.He looked at the people behind him and made a silent gesture.

Immediately not far away, a few more people came to the front.It seems that these people know that they can't get in, so they plan to come hard.

At this moment, a sudden burst of sound piercing through the air came in.The leading man with a beard immediately moved aside, but several people behind him were shot to death on the spot.

Then Zhiyuan rushed out with hundreds of people, and surrounded the refugee team.The soldier guarding the gate in front broke out in a cold sweat. After he realized it, he led his men to follow Zhi Yuan and surrounded those people together.

The bearded one's face was like water: "Little girl, you are very powerful. But let me tell you, our Taiping Road is not far away now with 6 or [-] people. If you are sensible, surrender to us."

"If you want to resist, when the heavenly soldiers arrive, you won't even have a chance to beg for mercy."

Zhi Yuan sneered, and then said to the person not far away: "Send a signal, do it..." This person wanted to delay the time so that the main force of the Yellow Turbans could rush over, and Zhi Yuan was not stupid, so she had no time to accompany them here to talk nonsense.

So Zhiyuan immediately took the epee in her right hand and rushed towards the bearded man.Although the opposite side may have been a few months ago, it was an ordinary civilian.

Although Zhiyuan is the Holy Mother, she is more responsible to her own people.The opponent used a short sword to resist, but was directly cut by Zhiyuan's sword. In just one round, Zhiyuan cut off the man's weapon and body.

"Quick battle, don't chase!" Zhiyuan shouted, and then the two waves collided.And the cavalry not far away also quickly joined the battle, and within the time of a cup of tea, the hundreds of people of the Yellow Turban Army completely collapsed.

More than 500 people can be killed out of more than 200 people, most of which are caused by cavalry.After being rushed by the cavalry, he was driven and killed while fleeing.

On Zhiyuan's side, there were only more than 20 casualties, and the casualty ratio was almost thirty to one.Of course there was no need to clean up the battlefield at all, Zhi Yuan immediately asked all the infantry to bring the bodies of their brothers, and the wounded were protected and immediately retreated into Pingyuan County.

The rest of the cavalry also left as quickly as possible, just cruising around, using some special things to transmit information.After all, cavalry has no advantage at all in the city, and they have more opportunities in the wild.

Soon Zhiyuan retreated to the city, and the chaos at the city gate caused the refugees to run away. Although a small number of refugees entered Pingyuan County, many of them went to nowhere.

After all, not everyone wanted to go to the Yellow Turbans. Coercing civilians was the biggest feature of the peasant uprising. More refugees ran very fast when they saw the arrival of the Yellow Turbans.

As soon as Zhiyuan entered the door, she saw the endless crowd not far away.It seemed that the ground was trembling, which made Zhiyuan startled.

The number of the Yellow Turban Army is too large, tens of thousands of people are already a sea of ​​people, which is almost like a tsunami in Zhiyuan's eyes. "Fork the gate, and then prepare stones. If the opponent wants to break through the gate, block the gate!"

Don't be afraid that it's a fake, if you encounter this in the wild, once you walk past Zhiyuan and her men, you will be trampled into a pulp.

Tang Tian looked at the pale-faced Zhiyuan, and then asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there something bloody about the fighting?"

Although Zhiyuan is considered a chivalrous woman, the Tang people don't think she has killed anyone in the true sense.So I still think that Zhiyuan may be killing people for the first time, so the state is not very good.

Zhiyuan shook her head, then said to Tang Tian: "Come with me..." Then she dragged Tang Tian to the top of the city wall.

When we reached the city wall, we found that the faces of a group of people and soldiers were no better than Zhiyuan.And Tang Tian looked down... basically couldn't see the end... 4 to [-] people, and there was no formation for those with their families, they were all crowded hundreds of meters away from the Pingyuan City.

"This... so many?!" They killed more than 3000 people, and there could be [-] to [-] below. Even if they are all civilians, the comments are almost one out of ten. It is no wonder that the soldiers have a bad face. This is simply too scary.

Zhiyuan coughed a few times, and then said to the soldiers: "Don't worry, we brothers and sisters have already made preparations. Don't forget that as soon as we come to the plains, I will ask everyone to strengthen the city walls."

"And there are tens of thousands of shi of food and grass, which is enough for us to guard here for a year. Although the Yellow Turban Army has a large number of people, they are basically composed of refugees. Such people don't even have weapons, so how can they fight? !"

"As long as we can hold the top of the city, the other side will definitely leave here within a month when they run out of food and grass. I will fight those thieves with everyone here, and fight according to the usual training. There is nothing to be afraid of."

I have to say that Zhiyuan's words are still useful, after all, they did start to strengthen the city wall as soon as they came, and the food and grass were all visible.So gradually the morale of a group of soldiers began to recover. After all, they only needed to defend, and there were not many opponents.

At this time, Xi Zhicai also came to the city wall. He looked at the sea of ​​people below, and then said to Zhiyuan: "Look at those people, they don't even have a weapon, and facing our city wall, is it possible to use it?" Climb up with your hands?"

"The nearby trees seem to have been cut down by your brothers and sisters, right?"

Xi Zhicai's voice was not low, and the soldiers around felt more at ease. After all, the Yellow Turban Army was not a monkey. They were behind the city wall, so what was there to be afraid of.

Soon some courageous people challenged the people below, but the other party couldn't come up anyway.Morale recovered bit by bit, Zhi Yuan couldn't help but feel more confident.

Chapter 53: The Rabble

"Listen to Pingyuan County above, open the city gate immediately, otherwise we will capture your Pingyuan and leave no one behind!"

Under a large banner with the word Guan, there is a middle-aged man with a machete in his hand. ,

Zhi Yuan looked down from the side of the female wall, and then yelled at the bottom: "The one below is Guan Hai from the Yellow Turban Army?"

"Hehe, I actually recognize this general. Let's see... this general is famous." Guan Hai said to another person riding a white horse.

The man's face was like a crown of jade, and he was abnormally handsome.Zhiyuan even felt that it should be a woman.

This person held a long gun in his hand, Zhiyuan didn't remember that there was such a character in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"My surname is Zhang, so it can't be Zhang Jiao's daughter. Zhang Jiao sent his own daughter to beat me, it doesn't seem like such a simple matter..." Zhi Yuan thought for a while.

Of course, no matter how you say it, you have to hit it before you know. Zhi Yuan looked at Guan Hai again, and then shouted: "So it's General Guan... I've been looking forward to it for a long time, but I just wanted to tell you guys."

"I have built a lot of houses with wood in the past few months. So there are not many trees in a radius of more than ten miles. Are so many of you planning to climb up like monkeys?"

"Hahaha..." After Zhiyuan finished speaking, the soldiers on the city wall let out bursts of laughter.

Guan Hai's face blushed immediately, what the hell, he thought that in such a small town, his own people would probably surrender when they arrived, but he didn't expect that he would be mercilessly laughed at just under the city wall.

"Come on! Let someone carry out the big wooden stick we used in front. We don't climb the city wall, but directly knock open the other side's city gate!" Guan Hai shouted not far away, and after a while there were two teams of people Carrying a huge tree trunk that is more than ten meters long and needs two or three people to surround it.

"Wow, where did you find it?" Zhi Yuan said in surprise.

Then Zhiyuan waved her hand: "Go not far away, get ready the things I said earlier, making gold juice. I've saved up for a few months, so the amount should be quite a lot."

What is golden juice?It's the so-called dung soup.

A lot of public toilets have been set up by paper kites before, and now they can be used.Although this thing was originally used as fertilizer for farming, but it is estimated that it will not be possible to farm this year.

Soon on a city wall, in a place built to shelter from the wind, things were boiled.That smell... Zhiyuan made a simple mask out of hemp and charcoal, but it couldn't block it, and the people who boiled the excrement on it couldn't get up until they vomited.

In the end, when Zhiyuan got angry, she directly let some of the captured criminals and some slaves to suffer.This includes the few people who assassinated Zhi Yuan before, and now they have been forced to behave obediently.

Xi Zhicai occupied a long distance, and then he could smell the smell of that thing being heated. "I said, girl, don't hit anyone, you've already been smoked. This thing didn't hurt the enemy, it hurt yourself first."

Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly, it must be easy to use, trust me...

This Xi Zhicai believes it. The golden juice was used in the defense of the city before, but it is too disgusting.

On the other side of the Yellow Turban Army, hundreds of people with bows and arrows, under the cover of some people carrying wooden planks and canes, began to approach the city wall and shoot at the city wall.

The archers on the city wall are also counterattacking calmly.After all, there is a female wall to cover, basically the record of being injured by the random arrows below is very low.

There are not many bows and arrows in the plain city, so those archers are not in a hurry. They only started to fight back slowly when they were more than 30 meters away from the city wall.Because it is condescending, it appears to be very efficient.

Most of the time, the wooden boards and rattans are just psychological effects, and they are still condescending at a height of more than 30 meters. As long as they hit, they can definitely penetrate. Soon, more than 30 of the hundreds of archers died.

The rest of the archers retreated slowly. After all, the team carrying the wood and preparing to hit the door had already come to the front.

"Let's go together!" A group of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army shouted slogans, and then slammed into the gate of Pingyuan County.

Then there was a "boom", and the door remained motionless.

Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief, that gate was also reinforced by her, not only added some iron sheets in front of the gate, but also made a few supporting points behind the gate.

There is no need for people to resist, there are a few long wooden drags, which can reduce the impact of the gate.So even if those people hit it with all their strength, the door didn't respond at all, not even shaking too much.

On Zhiyuan's side, someone had poured hot golden juice over it.Suddenly there were screams at the gate of the city, and the group of people didn't even want the wood, and ran over in a scrambling manner.

Gold juice contains a large number of bacteria, which cannot be killed by boiling.After these liquids are scalded on people, they can cause a wide range of infections and eventually kill them.

Although inhumane, it is a very good defensive weapon.After Guan Hai scolded and asked clearly, there was no good way to solve it.After all... the nearby big trees were almost cut down by Zhiyuan and the others, and it would take at least 20 miles to search for them from a distance.

"Then look for it at a place more than 20 miles away. I'm afraid it will take several days to organize the second attack."

Guan Hai looked unhappy, but the city wall of Pingyuan County was surprisingly high.In other counties, it would be nice to have a city wall of about four or five meters, and it was in disrepair for a long time and collapsed upon impact.

The white-faced boy next to him said to Guan Hai: "Uncle, don't underestimate that woman, it is said that General Tiangong has praised her."

"Haha, Bai Qi, don't worry, we will definitely be able to break through their city walls within ten days." Guan Hai was full of confidence.

In the past two months, the Yellow Turban Army has been really cool, basically sweeping the entire Central Plains.What kind of official family is simply vulnerable.Even Guan Hai felt that in a month or two, he would be able to invade Luoyang and establish Huangtian Shengshi.

Therefore, the woman Zhiyuan is nothing more than a small ant in Guan Hai's eyes.What is so tall about the city walls, Taoists of Taiping are not afraid of death.

After easily repelling the enemy's attack, a group of people began to clean up the stench.They don't lack golden juice, so they take it out in advance to disgust those who attack the city. After all, no one wants to be drenched all over.

And Xi Zhicai came to Zhiyuan's side: "Girl, what do you think of these yellow scarf thieves?"

Zhiyuan smiled lightly: "It's just a mob. Except for the thousands of elite men in yellow clothes behind, the rest is nothing to worry about. But even those people are no match for our soldiers."

Xi Zhicai nodded, and then said to Zhiyuan, "Do you want to do something big?"

"I just found out that they still have tents. It is estimated that only the main force has a place to rest. Ordinary yellow scarf thieves can only sleep on the ground."

"If we attack at night, we will definitely let the opponent bomb the camp, maybe we can succeed in one fell swoop!"
