Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 32
Knowing Wang Zheng's intentions, even if he didn't know why, the pace of the army's advance slowed down again.

Even the route of the march, they chose to bypass the central area of ​​Zhao County, which is where the rich gentry gathered, and walked a lot more.

Along the way, they also met several teams of rich families rushing towards the county government office. The other party ran into Tianjun head-on in a panic. Under Wang Zheng's instruction, Tianjun only made a slight move to scare them, but did not really stop them.

When Wang Zheng's army arrived at the county government office in mighty force, the gate was already tightly closed, and the sound of armor clashing could be heard faintly.

At this time, the inside is already in full swing.

The soldiers and servants either moved stones, climbed trees and branches, and more climbed up the fence.

The offensive and defensive sides have truly formed a confrontation between two peaks.

If it weren't for the panic on the faces of those dozens of people, the defenders with few people are condescending at this time, and their momentum is really not weak.

With a cursory glance, Wang Zheng nodded slightly.

Just looking at the number of these archers is more than half a hundred, and I gave it a long time, almost all of them should have gathered here.

The thieves and thieves entered the city in disorder, especially the well-known thieves like the Yellow Turban Bandits. The big households in Zhao County who had suffered disasters back then knew well that they must be the first batch to be liquidated.

Not to mention the disaster of ruining the family, there is also the disaster of ruining the roof.

The family's high-ranking compound cannot stop these thieves, and the big households who know this well, report to the group to keep warm has become the only choice.

The county lord may only want to ask them to send out some family guards to strengthen the defense capabilities of the county government, but these and their families will inevitably flock to them.

"Let people inform Goldman Sachs and let him arrange for the folks to go to the city."

Wang Zheng pointed to the county government office, then turned his head to signal Xu Fang: "They have vacated the room and swept the couch to welcome them."

Xu Fang jokingly said: "General, we must not refuse this kindness."

Looking at each other, the two laughed at the same time.

at this time.

Several servants of the county yamen's courtyard temporarily set up a simple high platform, and the county lord Cui Xi and Zuo Jin, the head of the Zuo clan of Zhao County, also stepped up carefully.

They found a bunker to show their faces and wanted to observe the situation outside.

There is still a fluke in my heart.

Both of them either saw it or heard it, and they were in Qingzhou. Although they were flustered when they first heard that thousands of yellow scarf bandits entered the city, after calming down and thinking about it, they both felt that it was not a dead end.

It's just a Yellow Turban thief.

They always gather people very quickly, and this is the only advantage of this group of thieves. They can gather tens of thousands of rioters at will.

Everything else is flawed.

The discipline is chaotic, the equipment is simple, and the combat power is extremely poor. In the field, they will be defeated in one blow, and they have neither means nor equipment to attack the fortifications.

In a word, the ear of mustard moss.

Facing such an enemy, relying on the defense of the county government, as long as the command is proper, Cui Xi is confident that he can withstand the offensive of the bandits for a period of time, so he can find an opportunity to send a letter for help.

The several counties near Zhao County all stationed military camps not far outside the city. Since the other party only had these numbers of people, it proved that the prestige of the state shepherd tiger was still there, and the other Qingzhou military camps did not respond accordingly.

What's more, Zhou Mu is attacking Xuzhou recently, and Zhao County is on one of the logistics transportation routes. Cao Jun will find something wrong at any time and will rush to help immediately.

As soon as the army arrives, this group of thieves who surrendered and rebelled will be wiped out in an instant.

What made Cui Xi even more overjoyed was that more than a dozen rich families in the county gathered in the county government office, not only gathered more than 200 private parts, but also brought over a hundred equipment and armor.

There are even fifty strong bows and crossbows.

It is actually more than the arsenal of your own county?Is the power of my great Han folk and wealthy family so amazing now?
This made Cui Xi, the county lord, secretly horrified, and didn't even dare to think deeply.

It's just that at this time of crisis, this is rare good news, which gave Cui Xixi hope to persevere.

The heart of fear gradually disappeared, but the eagerness to perform meritorious deeds was born instead.

Two years ago, Ying Shao, the prefect of Mount Tai, who was also a literati and Confucian scholar like Cui Xi, also had little experience in marching and fighting, and had created an impressive record against the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou.

With only 3 people occupying the city to resist, they tried their best to resist hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits, so that they finally had no choice but to retreat.

Ying Zhongyuan can do it, so can I!
Cui Xi was full of confidence, and felt that it might not be impossible for him to use 300 people to reject thousands of thieves.

It's just that when he and Zuo Jin actually saw the bandit on the opposite side with their own eyes, these delusions were instantly shattered.

Looking at the team in front of him, there were obviously a few seniors who seemed to be from the county, Zuo Jin still felt very strange.

He muttered to himself in disbelief.

"This is... Qingzhou Army?"

The first team to arrive at the county government at this moment is naturally the Tiangang Army.

Although the armory has been obtained, the 500 people have not yet changed their clothes. Except for Wang Zheng Xu Fang, most of them are still dressed in rags.

It's just that the tattered outer shirts can't hide the muscles all over the body. Everyone has a strong body and a fierce and murderous look on their faces. They are not at all like the yellow-faced and muscular Yellow Turban soldiers in Zuo Jin's memory.

Cui Xi was even more surprised not by the individual differences, but by the overall transformation.

That neat and orderly queue, standing straight and straight.It makes people feel heroic at first glance, and it is actually the image of a strong army.

The more he looked closely, the more horrified he became. At this moment, Cui Xi's face sank like water, his eyes swept back and forth, and he was silent all the time. Suddenly he was surprised, pointed to the left side of the team and shouted:

"Grandpa Zuo, who is this person, do you know him?"

After being called out like this, Zuo Jinxun looked over and was surprised immediately.

It was a tall boy wearing armor and carrying a knife, he looked not too young but very young.

At this moment, he was not standing in front of the team, but casually leaning against a tree outside the door, looking around the county government calmly.

When the two looked at him, the young man seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes immediately swept over.

Cui Xizuo Jin was shocked at the same time, and had the illusion of stinging eyes.

The other party's eyes were so bright that they couldn't be looked directly at.

Immediately, he became enlightened and understood the identity of the other party!
The boy just glanced at him and then smiled, made a weird gesture towards the two of them, then turned his head sideways.

"This son must be the leader of this group of thieves!"

Zuo Jin snorted coldly and expressed his judgment.

"What Mr. Zuo sees is not bad." Cui Xi nodded in approval.

At this time, looking at the camp of the bandit army, it was clearly moving closer to the young man, forming a defensive posture.

After thinking about it, Cui Xi was very puzzled: "It's just so strange, how can such a young man gather so many people to accomplish things?"

"What is the meaning of this gesture?"

Recalling the opponent's actions just now, Cui Xi also stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and asked, "Mr. Zuo is very knowledgeable, can you know what he means?"

"It's weird." Zuo Jin shook his head and said disdainfully, "Thieves are always using tricks, they don't know what to say and play tricks!"

The two were in doubt about the identity of Wang Zheng, and batch after batch of heavenly troops continued to pour in.

As the number of people increased, the complexions of the two began to become ugly.

"At least 3000 people." Zuo Jin also served in the army when he was young, and he has estimated the approximate number of people by looking at the crowd.

"There are not a few elite people like the first batch." Cui Xi added after observing for a long time.

The two looked at each other and sighed deeply at the same time.

PS: The "middle finger" first appeared at the end of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France. The British archers caused heavy losses to the French army. The French army vowed to cut off the middle finger of the British archers who drew the bow after defeating the British army, but the French army was defeated. .As the French retreated, the British archers stretched out their right middle fingers, showing off the ones they still had.
