After the young general escaped with his life, Dian Wei took Jiang Wu and Chen Jing to scold outside the city.

However, the guards of Ma Yi seemed to be frightened by Dian Wei's bravery, and kept the city gate closed, not daring to go out of the city to fight again.

Dian Wei had no choice but to order his subordinates to storm Mayi City. In this way, after three days of onslaught, the city of Mayi has become crumbling.

However, the 5,000 soldiers brought by Dian Wei also suffered nearly 1,000 casualties. This can't help but make Dian Wei become furious.

Today, the Yellow Turban Army again besieged the city for a whole day, and everyone became exhausted.

Not only the soldiers under the tent of Dian Wei, but also the defenders in the city of Mayi.

Their numbers were far less than those of the Yellow Turbans, and the fierce defense of the city in a few days had almost exhausted the soldiers in the city.

That night, Dian Wei dragged his tired body back to the camp, and soon after he fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, suddenly the fire was blazing, and the sound of killing in the whole camp shook the sky.

Dian Wei woke up from his dream, hurriedly picked up his weapon, and before he could put on his armor, he saw a wave of soldiers and horses slaughtering into the camp.

In the light of the fire, Dian Wei saw that the general led by him was the young general who was defeated under him that day.

The young general took about a thousand Ma Yi defenders and killed Dian Wei directly.

Seeing this, Dian Wei gritted his steel teeth. He never thought that the defenders of Mayi would dare to come and rob the village.

"Isn't the city of Mayi already crumbling? Where did they get so many troops to come and rob the village? ”

Now is not the time to think about this, that young general knows Dian Wei. Seeing that he hadn't had time to put on his armor, the young general took his subordinates and took the horse to take Dian Wei.

Seeing this, Dian Wei's face turned cold.

In his opinion, even if he didn't ride a war horse now, he was definitely not something that this young general could match.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first!"

Dian Wei and the young general both rushed to each other with this thought.

It's just that Dian Wei has no armor and no war horses; The young general, however, was well-armored and rode a tall horse.

"Ho!"

More than 100 of Dian Wei's personal soldiers blocked the charge of more than 1,000 defenders of Mayi. Dian Wei brandished a halberd and collided with the young general's broadsword.

"Bell!"

The two sides fought each other, and they were all shocked, and their faces were incredible.

Dian Wei didn't expect that the young general, who was so unbearable that day, would actually show such a terrifying strength today.

Dian Wei and the young man made a confrontation, and he actually felt a slight numbness in his arm.

The young general was even more horrified in his heart, when he was under the city of Mayi, he was just to confuse Dian Wei and the others, so he was defeated, and he didn't show all his strength at all.

But just now, he had already burst out with all his strength, and he was still relying on his horse's strength. Rao is like this, and the big man in front of him still doesn't move.

The young general didn't dare to imagine what would happen if the big man on the other side also had a war horse.

"Knock knock!"

The dull sound of war drums sounded, and a large flag was erected on the left side of the Yellow Turban Army. With the raising of this banner, the Yellow Turban Army, which was still a little riotous just now, began to gather under the banner.

"Damn it!"

The young general looked at the 1,000 soldiers and horses under his command, who were actually blocked by more than 100 of the Han's own soldiers, and couldn't help but curse secretly.

He didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Army would be so elite that even in the face of a night attack, it would be able to react quickly.

What the young general didn't know was that in order to train his subordinates and soldiers, Chen Xu often blew the trumpet to assemble at midnight in order to train his subordinates and soldiers to assemble urgently.

It is precisely like this that the Yellow Turban Army is facing the situation of the young general and leading the troops to rob the camp. After panicking for a long time, he was able to react quickly.

After handing over Dian Wei, the young general knew that it would be impossible to take down the enemy's main general in a short period of time.

If the Yellow Turban Army in Dazhai is gathered, they, the soldiers who came to rob the village, will also become turtles in the urn.

In a hurry, the young general already had a plan in his heart.

He pulled the reins, dodged Dian Wei's attack, and then shouted, "All the army retreat!" ”

The unique sound of the horn sounded, and the other two defenders of Mayi, who were setting fire everywhere, began to move closer to the young general.

Before leaving, the young general unwillingly glanced at the Yellow Turban Army Dazhai, and secretly thought in his heart: "These soldiers under my command have only just been recruited, and they are not elite enough." ”

"Otherwise, tonight would never have ended like this!"

Dian Wei saw the defenders of Mayi and withdrew from the Yellow Turban Army. Although his face was full of hatred, he did not pursue.

For the Yellow Turbans, the most important thing now is to extinguish the fire in the camp, and then count the casualties and treat the wounded.

As soon as Dian Wei put on his armor, Chen Jing came to Dian Wei with the gathered yellow turban soldiers.

"General, are you alright?"

Dian Wei looked at the pro-soldiers beside him who had suffered more than half of the casualties, and said in a low voice: "It's okay." ”

Although the 100 personal soldiers under his account blocked the charge of the defenders of Mayi, the difference in the number of people seen by the two sides was too big after all.

Therefore, with just one cup of tea, more than half of the more than 100 elite soldiers under Dian Wei's account have been killed or wounded.

Fortunately, Dian Wei's own force was strong, which made the young general eager and unable to take him down.

In addition, the young general was afraid that the Yellow Turban Army would come to his senses, so he surrounded them in the cottage, so he led the defenders of Mayi who robbed the village to retreat.

It can be said that if it weren't for the young general, he misestimated Dian Wei's strength and wanted to capture the thief and capture the king.

If he took those Ma Yi defenders and rushed to kill in the Yellow Turban Army, Chen Jing would not have gathered some soldiers so quickly.

And the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army will also become very large.

It didn't take long for Jiang Wu to come over with some soldiers. I saw that he had two wounds on his body, and his face was black and gray.

Coming to Dian Wei and Chen Jing, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The thief army divided a team of men and horses and burned all the siege equipment of our army. ”

"In a short period of time, we will not be able to conquer Mayi City."

When Dian Wei and Chen Jing heard this, their faces changed slightly.

For now, they can only ask for help from the Yin Pavilion and re-transport a batch of siege equipment.

After counting the losses in Dazhai, Dian Wei, Jiang Wu, and Chen Jing were all silent.

This surprise attack by the defenders of Mayi caused more than 800 casualties among the Yellow Turban Army. The siege equipment was burned, and most of the camp was burned.

It can be said that since Chen Xu took charge of the Yellow Turban Army, he has never suffered such a big loss because of a sneak attack.

Even if Chen Jing is Chen Xu's younger brother, Dian Wei and Chen Xu are like brothers, and they have to take responsibility for this defeat.

If the two had defended tightly, this defeat could have been avoided.

However, they can't be blamed entirely for this incident, after all, the Ma Yi guard is too insidious.

He had only just started the battle, and after less than ten rounds of fighting with Dian Wei, he returned defeated. made the Yellow Turban Army very contemptuous of this person.

In the later siege battles of the Yellow Turban Army, only 2,000 soldiers and horses were invested in the entire city of Mayi. Even if the city of Mayi was almost breached several times, the defenders on the city walls never increased.

This created a false impression for Dian Wei and the others that the defenders in the city only had so many men and horses.

In the siege of the city for several days, although the Yellow Turban Army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, the number of casualties of the newly recruited defenders of Mayi was no less than that of the Yellow Turban Army.

In such a comparison, you can see the elite of the Yellow Turban Army.

In the siege battle, the strength of the soldiers on both sides is not much different. The casualties of the besieging side are often four or even five times that of the defending side.

However, in the siege of the Yellow Turban Army, the ratio of casualties on both sides reached almost one to one.

From this casualty ratio, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is almost four to five times that of the defenders of Mayi.

In the opinion of Dian Wei and others, there were only a little more than 1,000 defenders left in the city of Mayi, and the Yellow Turban Army only needed to attack the city for another day on the second day to take this county seat.

Moreover, the more than 1,000 tired defenders of Mayi, Dian Wei and the others did not take it to heart, let alone expect them to dare to come to rob the camp.

It was precisely because of this that they were careless and let the young general take the opportunity to attack the Yellow Turban military camp.

"In this way, there should have been 4,000 defenders in the city of Mayi. But why are there so many troops in a small county town? ”

Chen Jing thought of the cause and effect, and secretly thought about it in her heart.

On the city of Jinyang, the flag flutters in the wind.

Chen Xu was shocked when he saw the battle report in his hand: "Zhang Liao, didn't he surrender to Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu?" Why is it in Mayi City? ”

It turned out that after Dian Wei and others were robbed of the camp, they began to pay attention to the guards of Qimayi.

After many inquiries, they learned that the young general's name was Zhang Liao, and his words were far away.

Zhang Liao was already a county official when he was a teenager. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Bingzhou assassin Shi Ding Yuan used Zhang Liao's military strength to outperform people and called him to engage in the state.

In Chen Xu's memory, Zhang Liao followed Ding Yuan into Beijing. After Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan, Zhang Liao surrendered to Dong Zhuo.

Later, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Liao stayed under Lu Bu's account to use his life, and he was never allowed to reuse. It wasn't until Lu Bu died in Baimenlou and Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao that he began to show his talent.

In fact, Zhang Liao in history did not follow Ding Yuan into Beijing. He rushed to Luoyang as early as when He Jin was not dead.

He Jin admired Zhang Liao's talent, so he asked him to recruit troops in Hebei. Before Zhang Liao's recruitment was completed, the news of He Jin's death and Ding Yuan's killing came one after another.

It can be said that whether it is Ding Yuan or He Jin, they all have the grace of knowing Zhang Liao. Faced with the two being killed, he didn't know what to do.

In desperation, Zhang Liao, who had recruited more than 3,000 people, could only lead these soldiers to his hometown of Mayi first.

He didn't expect to encounter the text from the Yellow Turban Army here, which led to everything that followed.

Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, and Gao Shun circulated the letter handed to them by Chen Xu, and after reading it, their faces were different.

Tian Feng and Cheng Yu were a little surprised, they didn't expect that Zhang Liao, who was not well-known, would be so powerful.

At this moment, Gao Shun knelt on the ground with a 'poof', and said with his face on the ground: "Lord, Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen is my best friend. ”

"Wen Yuan is young and ignorant, he offends the lord Huwei, and I ask the lord not to take it to heart."
