Chapter 1229 Yu Jin Releases Zhang Liang (Part 1)

Jizhou, Changshan County, Shangquyang.

The vast land is covered with dead grass and dust. There has been no rain in Changshan County for a long time, and large areas of land are exhausted and unable to grow food crops.

As for Jizhou, due to the influence of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, countless landowners had no intention of focusing on farming, resulting in a sharp decrease of 90% of the food in Jizhou.

The land of China is rich in spiritual energy and the laws of heaven and earth are strange. As long as you work on farming peacefully, there will basically be no shortage of food. In various states and counties, grain-cutting battles rarely occur.

However, due to natural and man-made disasters, Jizhou has gradually begun to experience a food crisis. The farmers have a lot of ordinary grain reserves at home, but it is only enough to eat, and because of their health, they also eat a lot.

However, sitting on the mountain was empty, and coupled with the conquest of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, a food crisis emerged.

Many farmers had no choice but to join the conscription team and go to the battlefield to fight for their lives.

In an ordinary mountain village outside Shangquyang, Yu Jinzheng led his own soldiers to serve as a recruiting team.

No way, in a previous battle, the Qinghu Legion received a mission. Although the mission was finally completed, a heavy price was paid, with a 70% reduction in personnel.

"Legion Commander, we were supposed to attack Tangcheng in the south, but they asked us to attack Tangcheng in the south. It's too much." A lieutenant complained to Yu Jin.

"During the Battle of Lingshou, we made too many mistakes, and some people were jealous, so they sent us to attack Nanxing Tang. Fortunately, Zhang Liang did not retreat here, otherwise the entire army would have been annihilated if we encountered him. " Yu Jin stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the towering mountains in the distance, and said quietly.

"That's fine. Now that my unit has been crippled, I was ordered to come here to recruit troops, so I missed the battle of Shangquyang. Shangquyang is a tough guy!" the lieutenant said with a grin.

"Of course, now that we have military orders, we can plunder the population on a large scale. As long as they are willing to leave their homes, we will take them away!" Yu Jin said with a smile.

"I don't know how Shang Quyang is doing now!" Yu Jin said quietly.

"Legion Commander, this village has been mobilized, and only a dozen households are willing to follow us." At this time, a messenger came over to report.

"There are only about ten households...it's hard to leave home..." Yu Jin murmured.

The conditions he offered to these people were actually pretty good. They had fields and food to eat, and they didn't have to venture into the mountains and forests, nor did they have to eat roots of trees or grass.

"Continue to the next village!" Yu Jin waved his hand.

In fact, they had already recruited all their troops three days ago. One hundred and fifty thousand strong men are easy to recruit in this troubled world.

However, their goal was a larger population and they did not stop.

Yu Jin led the people, sweeping them one by one like a census, and gained a lot.

Another five days passed, and Yu Jin and his troops were getting further and further away from Shangquyang City. While their recruiting path seemed chaotic and irregular, the timing was actually heading in the same direction.

"Legion commander, we have arrived at that destination!" the lieutenant reported in a low voice.

"Oh... we're here already?! Then call the supervisors and let them get drunk all night, and I will lead the troops to attack the resource points!" Yu Jin said in a condensed voice.

Yu Jin left Dong Zhuo's large army to recruit troops. He not only took his own troops, but also some supervisors sent by Dong Zhuo. These people eat, drink and drink, line their own pockets, and look very ugly. However, Yu Jin had no choice but to obey these people and entertain them with good food and drinks for the sake of his grand plan.

Yu Jin took advantage of the night and escaped into the darkness with his soldiers.

After marching for unknown lengths of time, Yu Jin led his men to a huge river.

"Go down the river for ten miles and you will see the Three Fingers Peak, where the resource base is located." Yu Jin thought to himself as he looked at the surging river water.

Gently pinching the horse's belly, Yu Jin led his soldiers and continued on their way along a specific path.

Soon, Yu Jin arrived near a mountain peak that looked like three fingers.

"Crack, click, click!" At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the forest.

A group of people emerged from the dark forest.

The leader was the deputy commander of the Green Tiger Corps, He Yuan.

"Legion commander, you are here. How is the situation?" He Yuan greeted.

"The harvest is okay. Tens of thousands of people have been transported back through the river." Yu Jin responded softly.

"How is the situation at this stronghold?" Yu Jin asked.

"This stronghold is different from other strongholds. No supplies are transported from the outside, so it is very difficult to penetrate. In order not to alert others, we did not conduct too much investigation. However, there should not be many guards inside, and it is estimated that there are not enough than 50,000 people." He Yuan said solemnly.

This stronghold is one of the strongholds deployed by the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. According to Zhang Huozhu's information, it is a resource point to temporarily supply the Yellow Turban Army.

"Okay then, attack in half an hour." Yu Jin looked up at the sky and ordered in a deep voice.

"promise!"

…

…

"Boom!" A rapid roar echoed in the dark night.

Immediately afterwards, a huge burst of heat rushed in from a distance, breaking the silence of the wilderness.

"Kaka!!" The sound of weapons and armor rubbing together gradually became clearer.

"Hoo ho!! Hurry, everyone, run! As long as we get to the resource point, we will have supplies." A burly military general covered in charred skin kept urging them while holding a burned-out flag.

Behind him were a group of Yellow Turban soldiers with charred faces, ragged clothes and broken armor.

"Xiaoqushuai, has General Ren Gong not woken up yet?" A yellow scarf elder gasped and asked in a low voice, looking at the only carriage.

His tone was full of fear.

"Sigh... This time we were attacked by three divine generals. General Renggong was seriously injured. I don't know if he can hold on!" Xiao Qushuai said in a low voice.

"But no matter what, we will temporarily go to that resource point to recuperate and recuperate according to General Renggong's final plan before he passed out." Xiao Qushuai added.

"Well, it should be a few miles away, and everyone can have a peaceful sleep by then."

"He's a bitch. That black-faced guy and the red-faced guy really don't have martial ethics. They actually attacked the general. It's really despicable!"

"On the battlefield of life and death, martial ethics don't matter... Even if General Ren Gong was attacked by a sneak attack, he could fight three with one. Unfortunately, he couldn't avoid the strange drag of the red-faced man... General Ren Gong was almost beheaded!" Xiaoqu Shuai recalled the previous battle with lingering fear.

"Sigh... If General Renggong hadn't been attacked by surprise, even if the enemy came with hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, we could still have defended Shangquyang, and we could have killed these Han traitors by force!"

"Yes, it's just one day away, just one day away, before we can gather a million troops and activate that military spirit. It's a pity."

"We are defeated like a mountain... If we lose, we lose. As long as we hold Xiaquyang, and wait until General Di Gong wipes out the traitors in Zhongshan County, we can join together and fight."

"At that time, there is still a chance to activate the military spirit!"

"Okay, let's go. According to the report of the rangers, there is a group of officers and soldiers recruiting troops nearby. Although their combat power is not high, it will be bad if they are delayed." Xiaoqushuai said in a deep voice.

The remaining soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army hurried on their way.

…

"Legion Commander, there is a Yellow Turban Army!!" A scout hurriedly walked through the messy mountain stronghold and walked to Yu Jin to report.

"Are there reinforcements? How many people are there on the other side?" Upon hearing this, Yu Jin suddenly stood up and walked towards the wooden wall of the village with his weapon in hand.

"I can't see the exact details, but there are at least tens of thousands of people. The spacious mountain road is basically filled with them, and there is a long queue behind them."

"They may be troops coming to transport supplies to the front line, everyone, gather together!" Yu Jin ordered.

On the wooden city wall, soldiers were constantly cleaning up the messy ground, dragging away corpses and cleaning away blood stains.

Different from other strongholds, the defenders of this stronghold actually preferred to die rather than surrender. Even if Yu Jin, the God of Killing, was present, they would rush forward without fear of death and fight to the death to the last man!

In the final count of casualties, 60,000 Yellow Turban guards were killed, and 1,500 Qingyang Tiger Guards were killed on our own side.

In the case of a sneak attack and with crushing combat power, the Green Tiger Army still caused such casualties, which shows how powerful the defenders are.

It's a pity that their bones will be buried here forever.

Except for some soldiers who were constantly cleaning the battlefield, those who were still resting cheered up from their sleep and came to the city wall with their weapons in hand.

They were indeed exhausted after experiencing a battle late at night, but now that there were still enemies, they had to get up and fight.

"Dong dong!!" As the people of the Green Tiger Legion arranged their arrangements, a vibration came from a distance and gradually became clearer.

The morning light breaks through the darkness before dawn and shines on the earth.

Yu Jin looked from a distance and saw the burnt flag.

I saw only one word on it: [Zhang]. Only the lower part of Zhang was burned away.
