Chapter 3: The Storm Rises Section 37 (II)

In the days that followed, Li Hong's men became even more daring, even a little unscrupulous, in attacking and killing the Yellow Turban soldiers. Tiger Head, Fist, Wen Chou, and Lu Huanyang led their troops to rush the camp several times, and the soldiers roared in, and they roared and killed like a whirlwind and clouds. But the Yellow Turbans ignored it and only cared about attacking the city, as if they had given up on counterattacking the cavalry.

The weather is getting colder, the north wind is howling, and the sky is always overcast, but there is no sign of snow.

==================

When Li Hong saw Tian Zhong walk in, he was angry, slapped the table in front of him angrily, and shouted loudly: "Why? Why isn't it snowing yet? ”

Tian Zhong ignored him, walked up to Gao Ran, and asked a few words in a low voice.

"No more food?" Gao Ran asked in a low voice.

"No, we must withdraw today, otherwise we will kill the horse." Tian Zhong said with a heavy heart.

Gao Ran's face showed a look of grief and stopped making a sound. There was no hope for Lord Feng Yi and the 6,000 soldiers, and there was no hope for the tens of thousands of people in the city. The Jizhou army was defeated again and again, and no matter how powerful the leopard was, he was powerless to return to the sky. Although Li Hong tried his best to survive in such a few short hours, made detailed plans and preparations, and wanted to survive in death, turn the tide, and rescue the desperate Gall Tao City, but God did not help, and he was helpless.

"My lord, where are we going?" Tian Zhong asked.

"Go to the capital." Li Hong sighed and began to pack up the things on the desk.

Zhao Yun strode in, bowed down and said, "My lord, all the parts have returned to the camp on time. ”

Li Hong didn't raise his head, and said calmly: "Order all the troops to evacuate in the direction of Xindu City immediately." ”

A trace of helplessness flashed on Zhao Yun's face, and he bowed down to retreat.

"That's right." Li Hong suddenly called out to him and said loudly, "Order the troops to go slowly, don't camp tonight, camp in the open air." ”

Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, and Tian Zhong looked at Li Hong blankly, thinking that he was simply crazy. On such a cold day, he actually let the soldiers camp in the open air.

"Let the soldiers find a wood, which can not only block the wind, but also use local materials to make a fire for warmth." Li Hong said lightly.

Li Hong is looking forward to a miracle from God. How can it not snow on such a cold day? Today, and tonight, is the last chance to save the city of Gall. Tomorrow the troops will be two hundred miles away.

====================

Zhang Niujiao took the document handed over by Sun Qin and glanced at it. Then he put down the bamboo slip with a melancholy expression and sighed softly.

"Is it the rear urging food again?" Sun Qin asked softly.

Zhang Niujiao nodded silently, and said bitterly: "The weather is too cold, and many places in Changshan have begun to die. ”

"Tomorrow we're going to attack the city, right?" Sun Qin suggested, "An Dingshuai has urged food several times, and it is very difficult for him to do so. ”

Zhang Niujiao looked down at the map on the desk, and said worriedly: "Wait for the last group of scouts to come back, and see where the leopard's troops have withdrawn." If he had indeed withdrawn a hundred miles away, we would have attacked the city tomorrow. It's just that if the leopard is not removed, there will be endless troubles. ”

"Dashuai, if the leopard dies, Zhang Shuai, Zuo Sima, are they very dangerous in Youzhou?" Sun Qin glanced at Zhang Niujiao and said cautiously, "If ......"

Zhang Niujiao interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "An Dingshuai has already arranged it, and they will not be captives soon." ”

Sun Qin's face changed, and he asked in surprise, "Not a captive?" What is that? Then he realized that this was the secret of the Yellow Turban Army, and he was not qualified to know it, so he hurriedly shook his hand at Zhang Niujiao's cold face and admitted his mistake: "Gaffe, gaffe." Dashuai, I lost my words. ”

Zhang Niujiao glared at him sternly, and did not say anything to blame him.

Then he pointed to the gall Taocheng on the map and sighed, and said regretfully: "Alas, the leopard can't be baited, this bait is not fragrant." ”

Sun Qin glanced at him timidly, and said cautiously: "If it doesn't snow, this bait won't smell good." ”

"Yes...... Zhang Niujiao's right fingers lightly knocked on the case, and said thoughtfully: "It's such a cold day, why doesn't it snow?" ”

"Marshal, if it really snows, we will attack the city again, and we will encircle and annihilate the cavalry army of leopards, is there enough troops?" Sun Qin asked softly.

Zhang Niujiao thought for a moment and said, "Even if he breaks through, how many cavalry will be left?" ”

Sun Qin shook his head and whispered: "I'm not familiar with cavalry combat, and I haven't confronted Leopard head-on, and there are no more troops that confront him, so I'm not sure." ”

"Did you scare him on the battlefield of Zhuojun, why did you speak so unconfidently?" Zhang Niujiao slapped the table lightly in anger and asked.

Sun Qin blushed and did not make a sound.

Wang Dang rushed in and shouted, "Great Shuai, the Leopard Army has camped in Yanghezhuang, which is eighty miles away from us. ”

Zhang Niujiao looked at Wang Dang's red face and asked, "Is it cold outside?" ”

"It's cold." Wang Dang rubbed his hands vigorously and cried out.

"Order the troops, and attack the city of Gall with all their strength tomorrow."

======================

Feng Yi pushed the door and walked out of the house.

The wind on the castle tower blew violently in the sky, and the mournful cry was terrifying.

It was pitch black inside the city. The camp of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city was also pitch black, only a few lanterns near the gate emitted a faint red light, swaying left and right with the wind.

Feng Yi let out a long breath. The hot breath exhaled from his mouth immediately turned into a white mist and disappeared into the bitter cold wind.

He stretched out his fingers out of thin air and moved his hands slightly.

The courage and fearlessness of the leopard deeply touched the old man. It's been ten days. He led his troops like a pack of ferocious wolves, galloping around the city day and night, patiently and meticulously looking for the flaws of the Yellow Turban Army, ready to give them a fatal blow to rescue the besieged city of Gall Tao.

A young martial artist can still work tenaciously for an unknown possibility, a glimmer of life and tenacious efforts, and never give up, how can he be willing to give up after others. If there is hope, go for it, and if you persevere, miracles may happen.

If you win the war, you must meet him, invite him to a drink, and talk about the hardships and thrills of defeating Zhang Niujiao. A Han slave who lives in Xianbei has this kind of ability, which shows the prosperity of the national fortune of my Han country. A horn, a horn can subvert the 400 years of my Han Kingdom?

Suddenly, he was motionless, slowly looking up at the dark night sky, and then he roared with all his strength:

"Drumming ......"

The sound of war drums broke the dark silence in an instant, resounding throughout the entire city of Gauntlet.

=====================

Zhang Niujiao jumped up and ran out of the big tent like a fly.

The cold wind howled, the handsome flag shouted, and there were scattered small snowflakes in the dark night sky.

In the dark night, the war drums on the city of Gho thundered, and the flames soared into the sky.

"Dashuai, it's snowing." Wang Dang and Sun Qin ran over panting.

Zhang Niujiao slowly withdrew his big hand from the air, and when he looked closely, there were only three or four small drops of water on his palm.

"Heizi, take the troops up and take the West City Gate at all costs." Zhang Niujiao said loudly.

The king bowed, and then ran into the night where the men were shouting and the horses were neighing.

Zhang Niujiao looked at the sky with his hands in his hands, and was silent for a long time. Sun Qin stood on the side, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"What is the leopard doing at this point, you know?"

Sun Qin smiled bitterly. In the Zhuojun battlefield, he nested in Dingxing Ferry from beginning to end, and he didn't catch any battles. Later, he ran to Fanyang City, but he was released as a prisoner of war before he was fought. Timid. Think about him. Now that the marshal asked him this question, how did he know. He didn't squeak.

"If you were a leopard, what would you do now?" Zhang Niujiao suddenly faced him and asked solemnly.

Sun Qin instinctively took a step back, and shouted loudly without thinking about it: "Run, run overnight." ”

Zhang Niujiao raised his eyebrows, and a trace of murderous aura suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Run. The cavalry tactics of the leopard are mainly to run, to run continuously. Tonight, when it was snowing, how could he let go of such a good opportunity.

Seeing the murderous aura on Zhang Niujiao's face, Sun Qin trembled in his heart, and immediately understood Zhang Niujiao's thoughts, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Dashuai, we want to attack the city, we want to attack the city." We want food. It's hard to have both fish and bear's paws. Marshal, if all of our main forces are thrown into the battlefield of annihilating the Leopard Army, it will be difficult for the other troops to take the city of Gaunt Tao before it gets dark tomorrow. As soon as tomorrow night passes, the walls of the city will all be frozen, and we will not be able to attack the city the day after tomorrow. Dashuai, without food, we will starve to death at least a hundred thousand people this winter. Handsome ......"

Zhang Niujiao looked at him murderously, snorted angrily, turned around and strode towards the big tent.

Sun Qin hurriedly followed and continued to persuade: "Dashuai, there will definitely be a better chance to annihilate the leopard in the future than this time." Marshal, Marshal, we are fighting all so that the people can be fed and clothed, so that they can live well, they are all starving to death, freezing to death, what else are we fighting? For whom is the war fought? Handsome ......"

Zhang Niujiao turned around suddenly, he pointed at his nose angrily, and yelled at Sun Qin: "Am I fighting for myself? Do I want the people to starve to death? Am I here to avenge Master? Do you know how good the situation was in Zhuojun at that time? But as soon as the leopard crossed the holy water river, everything changed, everything changed. ”

Zhang Niujiao waved his hands excitedly, his face was hideous, his eyes were wide open, and he roared furiously: "You say, am I a fool? Am I not going to fight? Doesn't Colonel Left know how to fight? Doesn't Zhang Baiqi know how to fight? But we have 180,000 people in the blink of an eye, so are we not going to fight? ”

"If you don't destroy the leopard today, in a few months, there will be no more Yellow Turban Army in Taihang Mountain, without the Yellow Turban Army, how many people will die, who will care? Who cares? ”

Zhang Niujiao pulled his throat and shouted hoarsely: "First there is Huangfu Song, and then there is a leopard, this is the sky that wants to destroy my Yellow Turban Army, and the sky wants to destroy my Yellow Turban Army!" ”

Zhang Niujiao raised his head to the sky, raised his hands high, and shouted: "Master, you open your eyes in the spirit of heaven and take a look, I will defeat the sky and establish the yellow sky!" ”

Sun Qin was stunned by the tyranny of Zhang Niujiao, and he retreated in horror, dumbfounded.

Dashuai's mind is not a leopard, not a gall pottery city, or food, but the future of the Yellow Turban Army and the future of the people of the world.

"Da Shuai ......" Sun Qin's heart suddenly twisted like a knife, he knelt on the ground, hugged Zhang Niujiao's thigh, and cried bitterly: "Da Shuai......"

Zhang Niujiao gradually calmed down.

He gently stroked his grandson's head and said calmly, "Don't cry. Go and tell Yanzi that the main force of the army is moving closer to the east gate and attacking the city with a group of men and horses. If the leopard turns back and raids, the main direction of attack must be the east gate. I personally went to the south gate and the east gate, and by the way, I talked to Master Wulu and the nephew of Qizhixian about some personal matters. After you return to the West Gate, help Kuroko to attack the city with all his might, and attack the city with all his strength at all costs. ”

"Dashuai, when are you coming back?"

"After the leopard is surrounded, I will come back, and I will personally attack the city of Gall Tao and kill Feng Yi with my own hands. Master was dissected and killed by him, and I want to crush his bones and scatter ashes to avenge Master and his old man. ”
