Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118
Yingchuan, Sima Huijia...

Although Yingchuan has been raging with flames of war, it is still very peaceful here, like a paradise.

Without someone to guide you, even if you have thousands of troops, you can never pass the gossip formation outside.

Sima Hui stood outside the courtyard gate, looking up at the sunset in the sky, squinting his eyes, as if thinking about the mysteries of the universe.

Behind him stood Zhuge Liang who was as refined as other people. He looked at Sima Hui with an extremely respectful attitude, but there was a sense of arrogance in his bones.

"Master," Zhuge Liang called softly, "Are you worried about Senior Brother Xu?"

"No," Sima Hui withdrew his gaze and looked towards the nearby field, where a boy in Tsing Yi was walking quickly.

"Yuan Zhi is not weak in both wisdom and force, and he still has the power to protect himself, and Cheng Huang's luck is strong, and they must be able to break the Nanyang Yellow Turban."

At this time, the boy in Tsing Yi had already come to the front, bowed to Sima Hui and said: "Sir, the latest battle report, the senior brother's team successfully attacked Wancheng, and has already captured Wancheng. At present, the Nanyang yellow scarves are gathering in Wancheng, planning to besiege Wancheng." city."

"Well," Sima Hui nodded with a smile on his face, "Understood, you can go!"

The boy left, and Sima Hui smiled and said, "Yuanzhi really did a great job, and he didn't embarrass his teacher. The court's battle against the Yellow Turban may change completely at this moment, Kong Ming! You know what's going on in Nanyang next time." How will it be?"

Zhuge Liang knew that this was the master's examination of himself, so he quickly bowed and replied: "Brother, this is a wonderful move, and it is also a dangerous move. As long as you defend Wancheng, you can force the Yellow Turban to flee north. When the time comes, the Nanyang imperial army If we move our troops northward, the siege of the Changshe will be resolved. The situation of the Han Dynasty will be completely changed in this battle."

"Well," Sima Hui nodded, expressing his approval of Zhuge Liang's words, "As long as Wancheng is not lost, the Yellow Turban will not survive this winter. Today is a cold winter!"

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang also said: "How can the yellow scarves who lack clothing and food survive this cold winter! At that time, they will only have to rob the people. As long as they do it, they will become real bandits. Losing the people It is only a matter of time before the yellow turbans who support it will be wiped out."

……

Wancheng...

After hearing Zhao Hong's challenge, Cheng Huang laughed!

It is impossible to accept the opponent's challenge. Cheng Huang will not choose to single out when he can fight.

"Han Sheng, that kid was so crazy that he shot me on his horse."

Huang Zhong got the order to draw the bow and nock the arrow. At the sound of the bowstring, the sharp arrow shot out wildly.

"Xiao'er..." A sharp arrow shot into the head of Zhao Hong's war horse, and the horse let out a miserable cry and fell down.

Zhao Hong hurriedly jumped off the horse. Although he didn't fall to the ground, he looked extremely embarrassed.

"Ha ha!!"

There was a burst of ridicule on the top of the city, and the morale of the soldiers defending the city immediately increased.

Suffering a big loss under the eyes of everyone, Zhao Hong blushed and was furious. He pointed his spear at the top of the city and shouted: "Come on, take down Wancheng."

dong dong dong dong dong...

The dense war drums rang out with the sound of shouting and killing, and the Yellow Turban Army immediately launched an attack.

Although these Yellow Turbans have no siege equipment, they have their own methods.I saw the Yellow Turban Army rushing towards the city wall under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, carrying huge logs one by one.

The wood was obtained locally and felled from nearby mountains.You must know that the water in the moat will not flow. If you throw giant logs into the moat, as long as there are enough, you can form temporary pontoon bridges.

"Damn, that's alright?" Cheng Huang's eyes dropped, as expected, the three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang!Among the millions of people in the Yellow Turban, there are always a few smart people.

Of course, it is not easy to throw wood into the moat.

Soon, these yellow scarves carrying wood had entered the range of the archers at the top of the city.

"Shoot me," Cheng Huang yelled, and the soldiers at the top of the city immediately fired their arrows like rain.

A strange scene happened. The yellow scarf soldiers carrying the wood immediately lifted the giant wood over their heads to form a temporary shield.Although many soldiers were shot and killed, no large-scale casualties were formed.

"I'll go," Cheng Huang opened his eyes wide, "Shoot, shoot me!"

Soon, the archers at the top of the city changed their tactics and started to shoot in bursts. However, the distance was so far that it was not easy to hit them.

After countless soldiers died, the moat was finally filled.Immediately afterwards, yellow-turban soldiers carrying larger logs rushed towards the city gate on the temporary pontoon bridge.

Without ladders, the city gate was the only point of attack for the Yellow Turbans.

Of course the talented Xu Shu knew about this problem, so all the arrow towers and Thunderbolt chariots at the top of the city were aimed at the city gate.

The yellow turban soldiers carrying the huge log had already rushed across the pontoon bridge and rushed towards the city gate.Don't underestimate the impact force of this giant log, it won't take long to knock the city gate open.

At this time, the thunderbolt car at the top of the city started, and huge boulders fell from the sky.Giant trees can block the attack of sharp arrows, but how can they block this huge stone bullet.

The huge boulder hit the wood, and the soldiers carrying the wood couldn't stand still and fell down one after another.The soldiers who fell were not covered by the wood and were smashed into meat paste.

Dozens of thunderbolt chariots defended the city gate that was not very wide, and it was simply not close to splashing water. No matter how the Yellow Turban army attacked, they could not reach within 20 meters of the city gate.

It was getting late, but there was no progress in attacking the city. In desperation, Han Zhong and Zhao Hong had no choice but to withdraw their troops and set up camp ten miles away from Wancheng to rest.

Although the enemy retreated, Cheng Huang did not dare to take it lightly. After all, if he could attack Wancheng at night, so could the enemy.

Therefore, he ordered the soldiers at the top of the city to hang the burning lanterns under the city wall with ropes, so that as long as the enemy got to the city, there would be nowhere to hide.

In addition, he also ordered to increase the number of patrol teams at the top of the city, and then let Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and Xing Daorong exchange patrols.Even so, Cheng Huang was still not at ease, and added a lot of hidden posts, trying to be foolproof.

Sure enough, that night, the Yellow Turbans did not come to attack, and the Yellow Turbans remained silent until dawn.

Until noon the next day, there was still no movement from the Yellow Turban Army, which made Cheng Huang have a bad feeling, and immediately called Xu Shu to discuss.

Xu Shu said: "My lord, you know it's not easy, just send someone to check it!"

So, Cheng Huang sent someone to put the scouts under the city in a hanging basket, and the scouts immediately groped towards the Yellow Turban camp.

After a while, Hou Chi reported that the entire Yellow Turban camp was empty, and the Yellow Turban Army was nowhere to be found.

"What?" Cheng Huang was shocked and cast a questioning look at Xu Shu.

"My lord, don't panic. There are only two possibilities for the enemy to go here. One is to escape directly from Nanyang to support the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan. Instead, attack Xi'e or Zhi County. However, in my opinion, the second possibility is greater , after all, they still have millions of troops, so it is impossible for them to withdraw from Nanyang easily."

"Of course, the purpose of their attack on these two cities is to lure us to rescue them, and then their team hidden nearby is waiting for an opportunity to capture Wancheng. After all, Wancheng is their ultimate goal."
