Chapter 14 House Thieves Are Hard to Guard (Part 2)
Although the Yellow Turban Bandits had to attack the city bravely with the swords and axes of the supervisory team on their necks, everyone couldn't help trembling when they looked up and saw the burly figure.
Liu Ye held a long lance and swung it across. The yellow scarf thieves on the top of the wall had almost no enemies. A long lance took at least a dozen lives.
The larger the battle, the less effective the brave general will be. However, Licheng is only a small county with a small city wall, and there are tens of thousands of yellow scarf thieves besieging the city. Everyone's bravery has been played to the limit.
And three hundred paces away from the city, Zhou Jun had already changed to another horse. He rubbed his chest with lingering fear, gritted his teeth and stared at Liu Ye and snorted. He was surrounded by a group of handsome yellow scarves.
"An enemy of ten thousand people! With such an enemy of ten thousand people in Licheng, how can we fight in such a hurry?"
"Perhaps at this moment Commander Xu Daqu has conquered Linzi and obtained the arsenal of the state capital. I might as well go and mobilize some siege engines later."
"Hey, so many brothers have been lost, but for a small town, is it worth it?"
When Zhou Jun heard that the handsome guy under his command brought up the old story again, he couldn't help being furious, and pulled out the long sword from his waist with a slap, the sword light flashed, and a handsome guy's head fell to the ground.
"I have an ingenious plan. I will destroy the city tonight. If there are any people who go to Xu He again, they will be killed!"
Zhou Jun's face was grim, the long sword in his hand was still shaking, and the tip of the sword was still dripping with steaming blood. And the handsome guy who was killed was the one who suggested defecting to Xu He. This time, all the handsome guys under Zhou Jun's command were startled, and they all lowered their heads. No one dared to mention the matter of going to Xu He again. .
"Okay, let's withdraw the troops. Don't relax when you go back tonight, prepare to break the city and capture and kill Liu Yuqing!"
Zhou Jun turned around and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. The yellow turban thieves who were climbing the ladder breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down from the ladder, turned around and ran away, and the supervisor team also put away their axes.
The yellow turban soldiers who had climbed first on the top of the city also felt relieved for a while, then turned around and ran away, scrambling for the ladder one by one to escape, while the defenders at the top of the city cheered and rushed up. Taking advantage of the chaos, they killed many Yellow Turban thieves.
The enemy troops came like clouds and receded like tides. Liu Ye watched a large yellow tide receding slowly under the golden sunset, and couldn't help raising his long spear: "The thieves have retreated!"
"The thief has retreated, thanks to Brother Liu."
"That's right. If the bandit chief hadn't been lucky enough to block an arrow with his horse today, he would have died under the arrow of the elder brother."
The defenders on the top of the city couldn't help cheering, You Xiaer was a lawless man, everyone believed in Liu Ye's bravery, and the other defenders also hoped that Liu Ye's bravery would be able to defend the city wall, so everyone supported him.
Liu Ye smiled for a while, then turned to look at Zhao et al: "How are the casualties today?"
Zhao et al. bowed slightly: "Thanks to the bravery of the eldest brother, today's casualties are only more than 30, at least hundreds of yellow scarf thieves have been killed."
Liu Ye nodded. Although the number of Yellow Turban Bandits was large, they couldn't use their advantage in numbers at the top of Licheng City. Moreover, there were no siege engines or catapults, and of course they couldn't cause heavy casualties to the defenders with only a few simple ladders.
Zhao and the others arranged for people to pack up the leftover ordnance and carry off the corpses and the wounded. The arrangement was orderly, and Liu Ye nodded inwardly. The hazy sky was like a drop of ink dripping into the water, and it quickly turned black and thick. Licheng, which was screaming and killing during the day, suddenly became silent.
A private house near the county government.
In the darkness, a little light is like a bean.
"Zhou Jun really said that?"
A strong man with a big arm and a round waist was kneeling on the ground, a scar across the bridge of the nose on his face was somewhat blurred in the dim light.
"That's right! After defeating Licheng, Brother Wei, you will be the commander in chief. In the future, if Commander Zhou sweeps Qingzhou and becomes the commander in chief of Daqu, you will be the governor of the county."
The person who spoke had a sallow and thin face, fine eyes and a slight beard, with an air of trying to bewitch.
The brawny man surnamed Wei frowned slightly: "Licheng is nothing, Song He is just a rotten Confucian, and the county captain Sun Chang is half disabled now, but the only person to worry about is Liu Yuqing who is stationed in the East City. This person is not good. deal with."
The yellow-faced man chuckled: "What is this? Brother Wei is the number one warrior in Licheng. Besides, when the time comes, Brother Wei suddenly attacks and the city is in chaos. Shuai Zhou will attack with his troops and tell Liu Yuqing to tie his hands and feet. Get rid of it, what are you worried about?"
The man with the scar groaned slightly.
"Okay! I'll gather my men and kill Song and Sun Chang. You must immediately notify Zhou Shuai to attack the city!"
After saying that, the man with the scar stood up, walked out of the house with heavy footsteps, and disappeared into the alley. The yellow-faced man smiled slightly, and when he stood up, his sleeves flicked, revealing a yellow scarf tied around his wrist.
Most of the defenders on the top of the city and the residents in the city rested, but Song He, the county magistrate, couldn't rest. He and the pawn were calculating today's gains and losses. Except for an oil lamp, there were only two people whispering. The sound was very quiet.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, Song He couldn't help frowning, and looked up.
"Xianzun, it's not good!"
Sun Chang stumbled in and rushed in. The wound that had been bandaged was oozing blood again. There were several holes in the leather armor on his body that were oozing blood. There was also a gap in the ring knife in his hand. His body was covered in blood. Already disheveled.
Song He couldn't help standing up: "What's going on?"
Sun Chang took a few breaths: "There are thieves in the city who are causing chaos in the city. Now they are killing people and setting fire near the county government office. Someone has sent people to report to the surrounding walls. The county magistrate, come and avoid disaster with me."
Song He was taken aback, but was interrupted by a burst of laughter just as he was about to agree.
"Hahaha, there's no need to leave. Zhou Shuai led the crowd to attack the city. I'm afraid the city has already been captured. The heads of the few are a great achievement. How about lending them to me?"
A strong man with a knife walked into the county government office, with a scar across the bridge of his nose, he was the "Brother Wei" from before.
Song He Zhangmu scolded angrily: "Wei Zheng, how dare you follow the thief?"
Wei Zheng was furious: "The Yellow Turban Army swept across the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and the Taiping Dao's virtuous and good teacher was ordered to win the world. He is a well-deserved true dragon emperor. The Han Dynasty is exhausted, and you are the thief!"
Sun Chang clenched his teeth, aimed at Wei Zheng and swung the Huan Shou Dao. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng had been prepared to knock Sun Chang's Huan Shou Dao away with a swoop. Neck, Sun Chang has been decapitated in a short while!
Wei Zheng chuckled, turned around and looked at the county magistrate Song He and the pawn, slashing out of the wind with the bloody ring head knife.
