The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

The Yellow Turban Army gathered in Quyang City has exceeded 2000 people.

Liu Zheng inquired about the news from these fleeing yellow scarf thieves, and it really verified his thoughts.

They were Mrs. Guo's subordinates. After receiving the news that Yang Feng was defeated by the army, Mrs. Guo led the army to come to support him in despair.

Who would have thought that he would be ambushed by Cao Jun on the road, with tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, I am afraid that only 4000 to [-] people escaped.

Of course, Mrs. Guo will be ambushed, and the culprit is naturally Liu Zheng, who disclosed Mrs. Guo's news to Cao Cao.

But Liu Zheng didn't feel guilty at all. On the contrary, he was a little fortunate that Cao Jun and Mrs. Guo met and fought. No matter how strong Cao Jun was, he would definitely lose something.

Even if it is [-] pigs, it will take time for Cao Jun to kill them, and a few butchers will be lost if the pigs resist and struggle a few times.

There are not many tiger and leopard riders on Cao Cao's side, about a hundred people.

There were successive battles with Yang Fengjun and Guo Taijun, and some soldiers and horses would be killed or injured more or less.There are dozens of people at least, and as many as one or two hundred people.

After Liu Zheng saw that the number of Yellow Turban soldiers fleeing outside the city was getting smaller and smaller, he guessed in his heart that Cao Jun should have almost killed Guo Taijun.

But Liu Zheng couldn't figure out what Cao Cao's next move would be, but he knew that Cao Cao would definitely not just let it go.

So Liu Zheng didn't rush out of the city, but planned to rest in Quyang City for a while. Anyway, his commander-in-chief Yang Feng didn't know where he went.There was no need for Liu Zheng to rush to the Changshe just to support Bocai.

He knew that Bocai was defeated by the army at the Changsha, and suffered heavy losses. Naturally, Liu Zheng would not want to go to this muddy water. For him, going to the Changsha was tantamount to death.

In Liu Zheng's psychology, he still wants to join the army at this time. The Yellow Turban Army is not the place he wants to stay, but the world is unpredictable, and Liu Zheng at this time has no turning back.

"Brother Liu Zheng, what shall we do next?"

Xu Huang walked to Liu Zheng's side and asked Liu Zheng calmly.

Liu Zheng shook his head and didn't speak.

"It's not a solution for us to stay here all the time. We have to find Shuai Yang Fengqu, or go to Changshe Huibo to join Daqu Shuai. Otherwise, with our current manpower, if we meet a group of officers and soldiers casually, we may be killed." Annihilation."

Xu Huang knows that he can survive in this troubled world by holding a group for warmth, but what Xu Huang doesn't know is that Yang Feng was not a wise master in history. After breaking up with Lu Bu, he followed Li Jue from his status as a bandit and transformed into an officer.

When Li Jue was fighting Guo Si, Yang Feng first helped Li Jue fight against Guo Si, and soon established himself, escorting Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie from Chang'an to Luoyang, so he was appointed General of Chariots and Cavalry.Later, Emperor Xian was taken to Xu County by Cao Cao, and Yang Feng lost power and went to Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu attacked Lv Bu, Yang Feng joined Lv Bu again and helped Lv Bu defeat Yuan Shu.In the same year, Yang Feng was ordered by Lu Bu to attack Liu Bei and was trapped and killed by Liu Bei.

In Liu Zheng's view, such a villain is definitely not a wise master, and Liu Zheng humiliated him as a team, but the situation forced him to stay under Yang Feng's tent. How could he return to Yang Feng's command?

As for going to the Changsha, Xu Huang didn't know what happened to the Changsha, but Liu Zheng knew it clearly, and if he went there, he would die.

"We're not going anywhere, we're here."

"What are you doing here?"

"Wait!"

"Wait for what?"

Xu Huang didn't quite understand what Liu Zheng meant, and Liu Zheng didn't know how to explain it to Xu Huang.

Could it be that I told him that I came here through time travel and knew that Bo Cai was about to be defeated by the government army.

"What are you waiting for, you'll find out soon."

Liu Zheng deliberately showed off his depth, but did not explain the specific reason to Xu Huang.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from outside Quyang City.

The neighing of the war horse made Quyang City, which had calmed down just now, tense up again.

"what happened? "

Liu Zheng ran to the tower in a hurry, and looked down the tower while talking about the tall tower.

At some point, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riders turned back again, and they were already outside Quyang City.

Liu Zheng thought that Cao Jun would not come back, and would probably go to Changsha to assist Zhonglang General Huangfusong against Bo Caicai, but he never expected that Cao Cao, who was full of tricks, turned back at this time.

"Cao Cao! Why are you back!"

Liu Zheng saw Cao Cao with a look of panic on his face, but Cao Cao didn't hesitate at all to Liu Zheng's side, and immediately let the hundreds of cavalry under his command attack.

"Call me, fight into the city! Destroy this remnant of the Yellow Turbans!"

Not all of Cao's troops were cavalry this time. Some of their cavalry rushed on the battlefield quickly, and some of them dismounted from their horses, carrying equipment for siege, and began to ram the city gates, trying to knock Quyang City down. the gates of the city were broken.

Liu Zheng, who was standing on the tower, looked at the huge log Cao Jun was holding, with a look of horror on his face. These siege tools were probably snatched from Mrs. Guo.

Originally, Yang Feng's subordinates also had one or two siege tools, but they were simple carts and ladders. When fighting Cao Jun, those responsible for transportation had already left these things and fled.

I am afraid that Cao Jun's departure was mostly to find siege equipment, and then return to deal with the Yellow Turbans in Quyang City.

Liu Zheng guessed that most of the siege equipment in the hands of Cao Jun came from Yang Feng and Guo Tai.

More than 300 cavalrymen began to walk around, constantly using bows and arrows to shoot at the city tower, and more than 200 people began to erect ladders and decided to climb the city wall.

The rest of the people gathered at the gate of the city, using a cart loaded with huge logs, began to hit the gate of the city, trying to break through the gate and enter the city.

The Yellow Turban soldiers on the tower still panicked, Liu Zheng forced himself to calm down, and started shouting at the Yellow Turban thieves around him.

"Everyone, don't panic! Cao Cao is not so easy to fight, we have to fight back, show him some color!"

Liu Zheng called loudly, regardless of whether it was useful or not, he ordered Xu Huang beside him to bring up the things he asked him to collect before!

Those arrows and spears had already been placed on the tower by Xu Huang, and they were used immediately.

Chapter 6 Siege

"Xu Huang, quickly take some people to block those enemies climbing the ladder, and the rest, follow me here, and shoot those who hit the city gate with spears!"

The city tower began to get busy. Although everyone was scared by Cao Jun's beating, Cao Jun was still below the city and did not attack. Even if these yellow scarf thieves were scared, they were not too scared to walk.

Following the command of Liu Zheng and Xu Huang, the more than 2000 yellow scarf thieves also began to be mobilized at this time.

Some people carried arrows and spears, and some young and middle-aged men began to fight back against the city, just like Liu Zheng.

On the tower, Liu Zheng also made some preparations at the beginning in order to prevent Cao Jun from returning. He collected some arrows and spears in Quyang City.

There will not be too many things like arrows. After all, they are all controlled by the government. Only a few hunters and big families will have some. But when the Yellow Turbans make trouble, the big families have already moved away , the weapons left behind are naturally pitiful.

Although some arrows were collected, the yellow turban thieves who knew how to use bows and arrows also couldn't, so most of the collected arrows were shot blindly by these yellow turban thieves.

The purpose was not to kill Cao Jun who was besieging the city, but to frighten those Cao Jun so that they would not attack too aggressively.

The way Liu Zheng really thought of fighting Cao Jun was those spears.

Spears, unlike arrows, require precision.

Slender arrows need to hit the enemy before they can cause damage to the enemy, but the spear is different. Because of the length and size of the spear, even if it is thrown down the city at will, it can hit the enemy with a greater chance.

Moreover, compared to small arrows, without practice, it is impossible to accurately hit every shot. Because of the large size of the spear, it can hit the enemy as long as it is slightly aimed.

"Shoot all these spears down for me, and shoot them at the officers and soldiers outside the city!"

Liu Zheng took the lead and grabbed a few spears on the ground with one hand. He said it was a spear, but it was actually a wooden pole with a sharp spearhead made of metal.

But this is enough, and it is completely feasible to use them as projectile weapons.

Whoosh whoosh!

The hundreds of yellow turban thieves on Xu Huang's side took some self-made bows and arrows and started shooting at Cao Jun who had climbed the city wall.

Hundreds of arrows flew over, and not many could hit Cao Jun.

Twelve out of ten hits is already good.

Of course, some people can't shoot, but there are also people who can shoot. There are many yellow scarf soldiers, and many of them are from peasant hunters. Some hunters are good at shooting. Seven out of ten arrows can hit On Cao Jun's body, it caused fatal damage to Cao Jun who climbed the city wall.

On Liu Zheng's side, he also began to bravely kill the enemy. The spear, which was as thick as two fingers, was not too heavy.

The whistling wind came from Liu Zheng's ears, and as Liu Zheng attacked, the yellow scarf thieves behind him with spears also threw out their spears.

The spear flew down, puffed, and fell into Cao Jun's camp, and soon there were screams from below.

The sharp spear directly pierced that Cao Jun's chest and shot straight into the ground, so that even if Cao Jun died, he did not fall to the ground and was nailed to the ground.

The first wave of attack, these methods of projecting spears, can effectively attack those Cao troops under the city in the first place.

In the encounter battle outside the city, the cavalry could deal a huge blow to the yellow turban bandits on the tower, but at this time, the encounter battle became a siege battle, and the gap was not so big.

Although Cao Jun also had some archers, they rode on horseback and began to shoot at the tower, but when shooting from below the city to the tower, the arrows are not so easy to reach. At the same time, if the strength is small, they may not be able to shoot the tower. Only a good shooter can accurately shoot down the city and hit the yellow turban thief on the tower.

Obviously, Cao Junli did not have such a manpower.

Cao Cao originally thought that with the siege equipment, he could easily capture Quyang City and kill this group of remnants of the Yellow Turbans again, but just a face-to-face meeting made him understand that the Yellow Turbans on the towers are not so easy. able to handle.

Seeing the arrows and spears constantly shooting down from the tower, Cao Cao fell silent.

Cao Hong immediately came to Cao Cao's side.

"Brother, the yellow scarf thieves in Quyang City are a little different from the ones we encountered before."

Cao Hong led 300 officers and soldiers to climb the tower, but 300 people, after all, the number is still too small, facing the counterattack of the yellow scarf bandits, [-] people quickly fell behind, especially, there is Xu Huang, a strong general .

Other people's arrows may not be able to hit every shot, but Xu Huang's archery skills are extraordinary, and he can shoot and kill Cao Jun who is rushing to the front with a single arrow. After a few shots, he will kill Cao Jun with high morale. depressed.

Seeing the soldiers and horses around him die one by one, half of the 300 people died soon, Cao Hong couldn't sit still, and immediately turned his head and returned to Cao Cao's side.

"It can be seen that there are masters in this city commanding these yellow turban thieves, and they are ready to defend the city. It is not something we can take down this city. If I am not 800 people, but with the yellow turbans in the city If the number of thieves is the same, I still have some confidence, right now."

Cao Cao didn't make a move, but judging from the mobilization and counterattack methods of these Yellow Turban troops on the tower, the Yellow Turban thieves in this city are not so easy to deal with.

It is said that war is a battle that injures the enemy one thousand and self-injures eight hundred, and the siege war requires at least five times the enemy's soldiers and horses. Even if this kind of thing was invented later, it would require three times as many Only with the enemy's strength can they capture a city.

But Cao Cao actually said at this time that he only needs to have the same number as the yellow turban thieves to capture Quyang City. It can be seen that in his heart, these yellow turban thieves on Quyang City are still vulnerable, and it is only because they have a backbone that they can conquer Quyang City. Can play some role in the battle.

"Cao Hong, let our troops retreat! Quyang City is not so easy to fight, we still need to save some manpower, and go to Changsha to help Lord Huangfusong."

Knowing that the siege was hopeless, Cao Cao decisively ordered Cao Hong to withdraw.

Cao Hong's tense expression looked a little better at this time, and he immediately rang the golden gong at Cao Jun who was still crazily attacking the city, and the whole army retreated.

Chapter 7 Defeating Cao Cao

Cao Hong went to collect the soldiers and horses, but Cao Cao still stood at the bottom of the city and watched the tower.

After his observation for a while, he has locked on a person.

This person is naturally Liu Zheng who is in charge of commanding troops.

The other yellow turban thieves were obeying orders, only Liu Zheng was constantly instructing them, telling these yellow turban thieves how to attack, how to shoot, throwing spears and a series of things.

Cao Cao was completely aware of his actions. In addition, when Cao Cao came to the city, he had already communicated with Liu Zheng.

So Liu Zheng left some impressions in Cao Cao's heart.

"This man has some brains. I'm afraid he is one of the few powerful figures among the Yellow Turban Thieves. If we don't get rid of him, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our army!"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Zheng and said something to himself.

Cao Ren, who was standing next to Cao Cao, was a little surprised when he heard Cao Cao's words. To be valued so much by Cao Cao, this person really has some skills.

Cao Ren immediately asked a question.

"Brother, what you said was that Liu Zheng?"

"Well, that's the guy."

"Since that guy will become a threat to our army, it's better to get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Oh? You have a way to kill him?"

Cao Ren and Cao Cao started talking here.

"What's so difficult about it? At this moment, that guy is busy commanding soldiers and horses. I can see his figure through the battlements. I can kill him with an arrow."

Cao Ren is quite confident in his archery skills.

"Oh, then you can try it."

Cao Cao did not stop Cao Ren's proposal either.

When Cao Ren saw this, he immediately pulled out an arrow from the side of the horse, and then put it on the bow and arrow. With a creak, the bow string was fully stretched like a full moon.

He aimed the arrow at Liu Zheng on the tower.

As Cao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, the arrow he held tightly in his hand disappeared like the wind, and shot towards Liu Zheng's position on the tower.

Because Cao Hongming withdrew his troops, the Cao army under the city began to retreat gradually, Xu Huang also began to relax at this time, but when he saw behind Cao army, a general beside Cao Cao actually pulled out an arrow and shot on the tower, Xu Huang was shocked. shock.
