The 2,000 horsemen who fell from the sky killed the Yellow Turban Army and abandoned their armor.

Compared with the soldiers, the advantage of the cavalry is extremely obvious, and it is difficult for the regular army to hide its edge from the front, not to mention that most of the Yellow Turban Army are poor people who are forced by life.

Zhang Mancheng looked at this side from a distance, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

He can be absolutely sure that this is definitely not a local army, and Nan ** does not have such a fierce cavalry. Could it be that it was sent by the imperial court?

But if it was an army sent by the imperial court, it would be impossible for Bocai in Yingchuan not to remind himself. Even if he can't fight, he will send someone to Nanyang for help, not to mention that he still has 100,000 people under him, and it is not something that the Han army can solve overnight.

So where did this cavalry come from?

Zhang Mancheng retracted his gaze, no matter where this cavalry came from, he didn't need to spend it any longer.

Two thousand rides alone would be enough for him to choke, and if there was a backhand, it would be troublesome.

"Give the order to go down and withdraw." Zhang Mancheng turned back and ordered to retreat south to Duyang.

"God's envoy general, the gates of the city have been broken. Evacuated at this time, didn't the blood of the brothers who had besieged the city be shed in vain? Han Zhong had an eager look on his face, and spoke to dissuade him.

In the status of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, he is second only to Zhang Mancheng.

"You think I don't want to win?"

Zhang Mancheng glanced at him, his fingers rolled over the city, and his tone was indifferent: "Look at the killing methods of those horsemen, they are capable and decisive, and they are as ruthless as butchers who slaughter meat and bones." There are a lot more people than them, but now they are all beaten to the point of losing their temper. If you look at the two men guarding the city, there are at least two hundred soldiers who climbed into the city, and as a result, none of them came back alive. ”

"I've never seen such a fierce character since I was born. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I would have thought that those heroes who were passed down by word of mouth only existed in illusory stories. ”

Zhang Mancheng's tone was a little weak, but he didn't feel desperate because of it.

In the past, the overlord of Chu was able to carry the tripod, but what about being brave and invincible? It's not the same as being trapped under the wall and killing himself on the bank of the Wujiang River.

To deal with such tricky characters, you can't go head-to-head with them openly.

"The corpses of those dead brothers under the city......" Han Zhong's face was a little unbearable.

Zhang Mancheng's tone didn't matter, "If you're dead, you're dead, as long as there is food, I'm afraid that no one will follow us?" ”

The food hoarded in Wancheng alone was enough for them to eat for several years.

Zhang Mancheng led tens of thousands of moth thieves to evacuate the city, and the surviving guards at the head of the city were so tired that they didn't have the strength to cheer, and lay on the ground upside down, wheezing violently while breathing the breath of the rest of their lives.

Lu Bu asked Qin Jie to take the soldiers down to rest, and after so many days of bloody fighting, it was time to rest.

After Zhang Mancheng retreats, he should not make a comeback in a short time.

After Huang Zhong washed off the blood stained on his body, he came to say goodbye to Lu Bu.

Knowing that Huang Zhong was leaving, Lu Bu, who was cleaning up the battlefield under the city, threw the body he was carrying into the dug pit. Then he stood up straight, turned to look at Huang Zhong, who was a little shorter than him, and said: "Your Excellency is so skilled in martial arts, and skilled in bowing and horses, why don't you enlist in the army to serve the country." ”

When he heard that Lu Bu invited him to serve as a military marquis, Huang Zhong's expression was obviously a little moved, but he immediately shook his head and politely rejected Lu Bu's kindness.

"What, the military position is too small?" Lu Bu frowned slightly.

Huang Zhong saw that Lu Bu misunderstood what he meant, so he told him truthfully: "If I don't want to, in fact, the children at home are sick and it is inconvenient to leave." ”

He didn't return last night, and his son had no one to take care of him, so he, the father, was naturally worried.

"Even so, it is inconvenient for such and such to stay." Lu Bu, who is already a father, can really feel the love of parents and children between Huang Zhong's words.

The only regret is that I couldn't tell the difference last night.

Huang Zhong was relieved by this, and he told Lu Bu that he had actually divided the ranks last night.

A person who practices martial arts will reach his peak between the ages of thirty-three and thirty-seven, and he is four in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is still at his peak and cannot help Lü Bu, and after that, it is even more impossible.

He had hunted countless fierce beasts in the mountains, and he could deal with even the most dangerous prey.

Only the handsome young man in front of him made Huang Zhong feel a bottomless feeling in his heart for the first time.

Fortunately, friends are not enemies.

The corpses scattered on and off the city took two days to be finished.

First, there is a shortage of manpower, digging pits, transporting, and cleaning, all of which rely on Lu Bu's command; Second, his cavalry is also too tired to work, and he has hardly slept well in recent days, and he has to hold up his spirit and fight with the moth thieves.

After the fighting, the dirty work of disposing of the corpses also fell on their heads.

It was a scorching summer, and if the corpses were not buried quickly, once they decomposed and spread, it was very likely that the plague would run rampant.

After dealing with this, the soldiers finally slept beautifully.

Within a few days, Zhu Jun and others also arrived in Juan Cheng one after another.

Knowing that Zhang Mancheng temporarily retreated to Blockyang, and heard that Lu Bu's 2,000 horsemen had blocked more than 60,000 moths and thieves, many generals were eager to try while their eyes were red, and encouraged Zhu Jun to take the opportunity to take Blockyang.

Zhu Jun summoned Qin Jie and asked him for information about Blocking Yang.

I have to say that in the past few years as the county governor, Qin Jie knows almost everything about the counties in Nanyang.

The city is low, and the two of them can climb into the city on top of each other, and the outer city wall has no boulder foundation, and it is all made of rammed earth, and the defense is extremely weak.

When the generals heard this, they immediately came to their senses, saying that they would go into battle to kill the enemy, lead the troops to break through the blockage, and capture the thief head.

When asked about Lu Bu's opinion, Lu Bu didn't think much about it, and bluntly said that attacking the city was the lowest strategy.

"General Lu, you're full of food and drink, and there are some leftover soup bones, don't you want us to take a sip?" A famous general snorted coldly, he has not made any military exploits so far, but he has suffered a lot of defeats.

He is not the only one with such an inferior mentality.

"I ask you to think about it, even if Zhang Mancheng retreats to Blockyang, he still has 60,000 people under his command. Even if the city that blocks the sun is broken again, how sure can we be with this little soldier and horse in our hands to attack? ”

Lu Bu's words extinguished the fire that was burning in the hearts of the generals.

Now Zhu Jun's entire net worth is more than 10,000 people, and he wants to attack a city guarded by 60,000 people, what is the difference between this and sending him to death.

In field battles, cavalry can still be relied on to suppress, but if you want to storm and capture the city head-on, the cavalry will lose its meaning and will not play the slightest role.

Two thousand horsemen can repel Zhang Mancheng, horseback suppression and well-trained are only one of them, and Zhang Mancheng's choice to take the initiative to retreat is the key.

If there is really a fish to the death, both sides may lose both.

"Is it possible to do nothing like this, and waste it with the moth thief?" Some people shouted dissatisfiedly, the court did not see the effect, with the temperament of today's son, it is no longer normal to kill a general.

Hearing this, Zhu Jun also quietly frowned, what he was most afraid of seeing was such a stalemate with each other.

In the silent atmosphere, Lu Bu suddenly spoke: "I have a bold idea. ”
