Dong'e City, the flames of war.

The Yellow Turban Army did not have much food in stock, and after being repeatedly defeated by officers and soldiers, they hid in the mountains for a long time, and the morale of the army had begun to weaken.

Wang Yan knew that under the current circumstances, only by breaking through a county town could this team regain their faith.

However, after three days, several strong attacks by the Yellow Turban Army were repulsed by the soldiers and civilians of East Afghanistan.

Later, Wang Yan thought of a lot of methods, such as deceiving the city, digging tunnels, contacting the city to cooperate with the outside and the outside, spreading rumors, and persuading surrender, all of which were all used by him one by one.

At the beginning of June, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and many of the wounded who came down from the battlefield were sweating all over their faces, and sweat flowed into the wounds, which exacerbated the pain, and many Yellow Turban soldiers couldn't help but moan.

Wang Yan walked around, comforting the injured Yellow Turban soldiers, looking at the already late sky, he had to grit his teeth and order the troops to be withdrawn.

"Could it be that God is really killing my Yellow Turban Army?" Wang Yan stared at the tall figure on the city wall and thought to himself.

The news of Huangfu Song's breaking of the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou had already spread, and if it weren't for the panic of all the soldiers, he would not have ventured to attack Dong'e. As for the lack of food, he could have dealt with those who had not moved to the city.

However, panic and anxiety spread among the army, and if he did not give the Yellow Turbans confidence, this brave and skilled team would probably slowly abandon their faith.

But I don't want to, in Dongwuyang a few days ago, because of Chen Gong, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and Bu Ji died in battle; This time I came to Dong'e, and a character like Cheng Yu appeared, making Dong'e Xiaocheng as solid as a rock and unbreakable.

Wang Yan thumped his chest and sighed majestically: "There are so many talents in the Han Empire!" ”

He thought of Chen Xu, Chen Gong, and Cheng Yu, just a small Dongjun, there are so many outstanding talents, so that the Yellow Turban Army has repeatedly hit a wall.

For a while, Wang Yan's idea of overthrowing the decadent Han Empire was actually a little shaken.

If the Han can make the best use of his talents and cut off the eunuchs, I don't know what kind of youth he will bring!

"Nope! Even so, the powerful clan still controls the world, where are the people alive? Like a wounded beast, Wang Yan shouted angrily in his heart.

Although he is Wang Mang, his family has a lot of books, and he can be regarded as a scholarly family, but he has not been out of office for more than 100 years, which makes this family live at the bottom of the entire Han Kingdom, and knows the hardships and helplessness of the people's lives.

Although Wang Mang was in chaos back then, a series of reform measures he promulgated were for the sake of a better life for the people of the world, so it touched the interests of the soldiers and the powerful, and ended up in a tragic end.

Wang Yan adhered to the will of his ancestors and once vowed to enter the prime minister and change the current situation of the Han Empire.

After a few days, the Yellow Turban Army was repulsed again and again, and its morale was very low.

In Dong'e County, the soldiers defending the city breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Yellow Turban Army retreating, and many people collapsed on the city wall at once.

For several days in a row, the Yellow Turban Army stormed the county seat, and although the officers and soldiers desperately defended the city, they also suffered heavy casualties. Due to the lack of troops, many people defended the city all day on the city walls, and only after the Yellow Turban Army retreated, they could take a short rest.

These people may not be called officers and soldiers, most of them are composed of powerful private soldiers and ordinary people in the county. But under the leadership of Cheng Yu, such a powerful combat power burst out, which really makes people sigh at Cheng Yu's personal charm!

A former county sergeant, holding a few steamed buns and a bowl of water, walked up to Cheng Yu and said, "Sir, you eat something and drink some water first." ”

Cheng Yu looked at this soldier, and his stiff face soothed. He has a upright personality, does not smile, and often offends people in the past, but he does not want to win everyone's respect in just a few days in the county seat.

Although he was a scribe, he was tall and more burly than many generals.

Relying on his strength and extraordinary swordsmanship, every time the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city wall, he killed the enemy with his sword, and in a few days, dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers died under his sword.

His resourcefulness and bravery won the love of the soldiers and people of the entire Dong'e County.

Cheng Yu ate a few steamed buns, drank the water in the bowl, and said to the soldier, "Thank you." ”

The soldier was flattered and said 'don't dare' repeatedly, and his admiration for Cheng Yu in his heart was even more profound. As a celebrity, Cheng Yu did not despise him because of his humble status, which made him grateful.

The war ended, and when the soldiers regained a little strength, Cheng Yu commanded everyone to strengthen the city wall and collect the corpses.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated county city wall, Cheng Yu rubbed his brows and felt a little tired. After a few days of high-intensity defense of the city, the county sergeants and soldiers have almost reached the limit, and if there are no reinforcements, the day when the county town will be broken is not far away.

There was a commotion, but I saw that the Dong'e County Commander led several county officials to come up and hurriedly came to Cheng Yu.

When the soldiers and Cheng Yu saw these people, they all showed disgust on their faces.

Whenever the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city, these people were so frightened that they hid in the city, not daring to come forward, if it weren't for Cheng Yu to take charge of the city and boost morale on the city wall, I am afraid that the soldiers would have collapsed long ago, and Dong'e would have been broken by the Yellow Turban Army.

However, after all, the county order is the highest magistrate in the county, and although Cheng Yu is famous, he is a white body, and he will not offend the county order too much.

The county commander stepped forward, his face was full of anxiety, and asked Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, it has been a few days since the messenger who asked for help from Puyang, why haven't the Puyang reinforcements arrived yet?" ”

As soon as Cheng Yu heard the words of the county order, he secretly said that it was not good, and he scolded this person for being stupid in his heart.

The county sergeant is now counting on the reinforcements sent by Puyang to support it, and the words of the county order let the soldiers know that their morale must drop greatly, and they no longer have the intention of defending the city.

Looking around, Cheng Yu really saw the soldiers around him talking to each other, and their faces were timid.

Glaring at the county order viciously, Cheng Yu said loudly: "Puyang and Dong'e are not close, and the messenger has only been two days ago, how can reinforcements be brought in so quickly?" In my opinion, wait a few days, Puyang reinforcements will arrive! ”

The county order was taken aback by Cheng Yu's eyes, and now the county only knows Cheng Zhongde, but does not know the county order, he glared back at Cheng Yu with some annoyance, and wanted to send someone to take Cheng Yu down.

But considering that Cheng Yu was still needed to defend Dong'e, plus the county sergeant, he might not necessarily listen to his orders to take down Cheng Yu, so he could only flick his sleeves and turn away.

The county commander came to the stairs of the city tower, suddenly turned around, and said to Cheng Yu: "If the reinforcements don't arrive in two days, I will leave and wait for myself!" ”

Hearing the words of the county order, not only Cheng Yu, but even the county sergeants and soldiers were shocked.

When Cheng Yu came back to his senses, the county order had already left, he could only angrily pull out the saber in his hand, slash it a few times, and shouted loudly: "Piff! Piff! Brave and gutsless! ”

Seeing that the soldiers were all timid again, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "I have heard that Puyang Chen Xu bravely crowned the three armies, and he is also familiar with the art of war, and his strategy is outstanding, and he has repeatedly defeated the Yellow Turban thieves. ”

"If Chen Wenzhao knew that the Yellow Turban Army was attacking Dong'e, he would definitely not sit idly by, and if Wen Zhao arrived, the Yellow Turban Army would not be worried. We don't have to consider the county order, as long as we can hold Dong'e, the rich and powerful in the county will never treat you badly. ”

"Besides, the Yellow Turban Army has done a lot of evil, and if the city is broken, our lives will definitely be lost. For today's plan, we can only defend Dong'a and wait for reinforcements. ”

Xue Fang, the eldest surname in the county, also came over at this time, drew his sword in his hand, and said loudly: "What Zhongde said is extremely true, if you can ensure that Dong'a is not lost, I will definitely contact the rich and powerful in the county to raise some money to reward the meritorious soldiers, and we will definitely give you the money for the war dead." ”

With Xue Fang's guarantee, the soldiers were at ease. Xue Fang is a big household in the county, he has always been kind to the people and tenants, and has an excellent reputation in the county.

Moreover, Chen Xu's name has long been known to them, and he rode alone in the county and killed many people in public, and then walked away, and the county soldiers did not dare to chase after him, which sounded exciting.

Some time ago, the news of Chen Xu's repeated defeats of the Yellow Turban Army has also spread to Dong'e, and the soldiers and teenagers worship Chen Xu very much.

Cheng Yu saw the changes of the soldiers in his heart and relaxed slightly, but he was still worried.

According to the distance, it would take at least five days for Puyang's reinforcements to reach Dong'e. If the county commander really abandoned the city and fled two days later, even though he had a lot of prestige in the county, after all, he did not occupy the righteousness, and after several days of defending the city, the soldiers were already exhausted, and I am afraid it would be difficult to hold out for five days.

"For today's plan, I can only hope that the reinforcements in the county can arrive as soon as possible!" Cheng Yu thought secretly in his heart.

After two days, the Yellow Turban Army continued to storm Dong'e, losing more than 1,000 people in total, and the county commander saw that the Puyang reinforcements had not yet arrived, so he really abandoned the city and fled, but he did not want to be captured by the Yellow Turban Army lying in ambush around the city gate.

The Yellow Turban Army asked the county commander to come forward and persuade everyone to surrender, but they didn't want to be killed by Cheng Yu's arrow.

Then the hearts of the upper and lower armies in the county fluctuated, and the Yellow Turban Army took advantage of the situation to storm the county. For a time, Dong'a was in danger.

Cheng Yu stabbed a Yellow Turban soldier to death with a sword, but he didn't want to be stabbed on his left arm by another Yellow Turban soldier, Cheng Yu stumbled, fell to the ground, and couldn't help but cry out sadly: "I think I, Cheng Yu, have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, but I don't want to die here today!" ”
