Chapter 135: The Rise of the Yellow Turban World
After the two captains of the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, they found that the Yellow Turbans had already controlled most of the city, and most of the soldiers and horses were surrounded in front of the county government, waiting for the soldiers and horses of the two captains to enter the city.
As soon as the two chiefs saw this situation, they immediately understood that the younger brother was giving them both the credit for taking down the county seat, so they didn't say a word, and immediately let the soldiers attack the county government.
Ten minutes later, the county government was taken down.
"System announcement: On the battlefield of Jizhou, Commander Wan and his troops captured Xiaquyang County, Julu County. The entire imperial army was wiped out."
In the next spoils sharing meeting, Huangjin Tianxia said that he did not want the county seat, but asked him to give him the craftsmen and siege equipment in the city, as well as the more than 900 Han soldiers he had captured, and then he had to ask for 30% of the money, food and equipment. The two ten thousand chiefs already had a good impression of him for repaying the merits. When they heard that he didn't want the county seat and didn't want much money and food, they immediately agreed and said that the two of them would recommend him to the celestial master as ten thousand chiefs. . As for craftsmen and siege equipment, in their view, craftsmen and captives have no other use but to waste their own food. If it is siege equipment, they don’t need to attack the county anymore, just give it to him.
How did they know that as soon as the Yellow Turban Tianxia entered the city, people hid part of the food and equipment in the city. As for the money, it was all in the county government. He had no choice but to take away 30% of the real money.
After getting what he wanted, Yellow Turban Tianxia immediately withdrew its more than 3,500 troops from the county. There are nearly a thousand craftsmen and three well rails in the middle. Afterwards, Yellow Turban Tianxia recruited 5,000 people in the city, camped on the edge of the county seat, and waited for Zhang Jiao's appointment while training soldiers.
Sure enough, Zhang Jiao's appointment came down a few days later, and Huangjin Tianxia was appointed as the head of the ten thousand husbands. At the same time, he was asked to capture a county seat by himself. After the occupation, he could be appointed as the county magistrate.
Seeing Zhang Jiao's appointment, the Yellow Turban Tianxia was overjoyed. With this paper appointment, it was equivalent to saying that he, the Yellow Turban Tianxia, could become a warlord. So in the next few days, while he kept talking about the captives of the Han army, he sent people to the county to recruit soldiers, and he also spent a lot of money to recruit 500 yellow turban cavalry, plus the 500 Han troops who said they would surrender, A total of 1,000 people were used as his personal guards, and then he recruited 2,000 archers, and 7,000 yellow scarf soldiers, plus the original soldiers and horses, a total of 10,000 people.
But as for which county to attack, the Yellow Turban World and a group of players have been discussing for a long time, but everyone's basic direction is still the same, that is, go north or west. Because it is definitely not feasible to go south and east, both of them will be Yuan Shao's territory, and they will not be surrounded by Yuan Shao to death. If you go to the north, there is a Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan, which is also the fat in Lao Yuan's mouth, and to the west is Zhao Yun's hometown, and there must be many players staring at it. It's really not a good choice.
After looking at the map for a long time, the Yellow Turban World finally decided to go west. If Yuan Shao still doesn't let him go, he will follow the example of the Black Mountain Army and retreat to the mountains. Although he is going west, he will never touch Zhending now. Start from the north, gradually occupy the northern part of Changshan country, and swallow the entire Changshan country when the strength is enough.
To the north of the Hutuo River are three counties, Lingshou, Jiumen and Nanxingtang. Although Jiumen is close to Xiaquyang, it is also close to Zhending. Lingshou is the most suitable, although it is only a few tens of miles away from Zhending, but it is blocked by the Hutuo River. As long as you control it well, you can defeat Lingshou before Zhending sends reinforcements.
Once the decision was made, the Yellow Turban World immediately took action.
Five hundred cavalry led the way, ten thousand troops, one thousand artisans, and nearly five hundred captives marched in hiding, day and night, while training troops during the day. The Yellow Turbans discovered that the trained soldiers were much stronger in both offense and defense than ordinary Yellow Turbans. Although they could not compare with the imperial court's middle-level troops, they could still fight against each other with two enemies.
Coupled with the fact that warriors have been recruited one after another these days, there is still a lot of confidence in taking down the county seat of 5,000 people with his own strength. Furthermore, Lingshou is not at the border with the Yellow Turban Army, so it is still unknown whether there are five thousand soldiers and horses.
It took ten days for the Yellow Turban army to reach Hutuohe River, south of Lingshou County. The journey of less than two hundred and fifty miles took him a full ten days, but the effect was obvious. First of all, they did not disturb any places along the way. Judging from the current state of Lingshou City, it is very close Danger knows nothing. What's more, the Yellow Turban World sent people to the city to check it out a few days ago. Now there are Lingshou officials who never expected that someone would bypass the previous counties to attack them. There are only 3,500 soldiers, and there is no sign of increasing troops. Moreover, in the past ten days, the Yellow Turban World has also sent nearly 500 players to enter Lingshou County one after another.
Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
At night, Lingshou City was as quiet as usual, with less than 500 people patrolling the city walls.
Yellow Turban Tianxia waved at the NPC general under his command, and under the leadership of the general, three thousand veterans who had passed through the Battle of Quyang quietly walked under the west wall. Behind them were three thousand new recruits. And his own one thousand personal guards led a thousand recruits to stand guard on the road of the four gates. Once the battle started, they would immediately light all the torches arranged at the east, west and north gates, and arrange for several players to lead five hundred recruits to guard the road. He followed the craftsmen and captives, while he himself took another 1,500 soldiers to guard the south gate.
When the former army was about to reach the bottom of the city wall, they were finally discovered by the night watchmen, and immediately there were shouts on the city wall. Seeing that the generals had been exposed, they didn't care much, and immediately installed the half-finished siege ladders, and directly attacked the city wall.
All of a sudden, there were killing sounds. The feint players from the east, west, north, and north all lit their torches, and the suspect soldiers began to shout and clamor non-stop.
Because of the yellow turban world's strategy of consolidating troops, Lingshou county magistrate could only distribute the soldiers evenly on the four walls of the city. Soon, 3,000 archers and a few well fences were within the range of the bows and arrows under the cover of the veterans of the Yellow Turban Army from the former army. Soldiers cleared. Under the cover of losing their bows and arrows, the soldiers on the city wall had no way to stop the Yellow Turban Army from approaching. Soon, dozens of siege ladders were erected on the city wall. After experiencing a siege battle, the generals and soldiers quickly entered the attack state. I saw those generals biting the ring-shoudao in their mouths, using both hands and feet, and quickly climbed to the top of the city. Looking at the right time, they turned over and jumped onto the top of the city. His luck was good, there were no generals around this siege ladder keep watch. I saw him quickly holding the knife in his hand, standing short, dodging several long spears that were stabbing at him, and slashing the first knife in his hand towards the surrounding spearmen, who were caught off guard by him The hacker injured his feet, and they all fell on the top of the city. Suddenly, there was nothing around him, but he didn't stop. He raised his knife and retreated towards the siege ladder, protecting the siege ladder. Under his cover, the warriors following him quickly climbed up to the city wall. After a few generals came up, the gap at the top of the city was quickly opened and gradually pushed to both sides.
