Battle to the Death in Wan City
Zhang Jiao died of illness in Guangzong.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were beheaded as well.
Huangfu Song used more than 100,000 Yellow Turban heads to build the capital.
The Yellow Turban Army, which had once swept through seven states and twenty-eight counties, attacked cities and plundered strongholds, and swept across the world, was already on the verge of destruction in less than a year.
……
Zhou Cheng had a yellow cloth tied to his head. He held a 50-pound iron spear in both hands and a withered grass in his mouth. He leaned against the western wall of Wan City expressionlessly.
He was originally still in the college entrance examination hall. He did not expect to fall asleep when he was answering the questions. When he woke up, he was reborn in the late Han Dynasty and became a member of the Yellow Turban Army.
Fortunately, his body was born with great strength. He could even drag the mad cow back to the cowshed with his bare hands.
At this moment, the city walls were already blackened and damaged. The stone shells and kerosene thrown by the catapults of the government troops had caused serious damage to the city walls.
Therefore, even if they hid behind the city wall, they might be smashed into meat paste by stone bullets or burned into charcoal by kerosene.
Bang! Bang!
Wuuu ~~~
A sudden cannon and a low and depressing horn sounded at the same time.
Dong dong dong.
Then, the sound of war drums shook the hearts of the people.
As the drum beat fell, a large number of government troops could be seen rapidly approaching.
"Get up, get up!"
"The government troops are coming!"
"Get ready!"
Commandant Zhang shouted in his hoarse voice to remind the soldiers behind the battlements to prepare to face the enemy.
In fact, Commandant Zhang didn't need to remind him that those who could guard the west and south walls were all veterans.
For example, Zhou Cheng was still young, but he had fought hundreds of battles. He had countless scars on his body and was already familiar with the attack patterns of the government troops.
When the government troops attacked the city, they would first use the catapults to suppress the city wall from hundreds of meters away. Then, the soldiers would push the Lin Chong that was as tall as the city wall and approach the city wall. The archers on the Lin Chong would start shooting at the city wall to suppress the infantrymen on the city wall.
Following that, a large group of infantrymen would raise their shields and push the moat bridge over the moat. The infantrymen behind them would carry ladders and charge at the city wall after crossing the moat bridge.
Finally, it was the most tragic battle for the city wall.
Of course, the Yellow Turban Army was on the defensive side, and they also had weapons to defend the city.
There were ballistae and catapults on the city walls that could be used to destroy the walls. There were also kerosene, wood, and rolling stones that could be used to target the scaling ladders and the government infantry.
However, the Yellow Turban Army lacked formal training, and their ability to defend the city was indeed inferior to the government army.
The scaling ladder was still set up on the city wall, and the government troops began to climb up the city wall.
"Quickly throw the kerosene!"
"Toss wood, rolling stone!"
"Release the arrows!"
"There aren't enough arrows, hurry up and get them!"
Commandant Zhang was already panicking. Although he was an old bandit, he still couldn't remain calm when facing the government troops that were like locusts and ants.
However, the Yellow Turban Army's counterattack began to take effect.
Pots filled with kerosene were thrown down the city walls. The city walls were engulfed in a sea of fire. Many soldiers were hit by logs and rolling stones and fell off the scaling ladders while screaming. Even if they didn't die immediately, they would be burned to ashes by the fire. The rear attackers were also damaged by the crossbow bolts and kerosene.
However, even so, the brave government troops still climbed up the wall.
"Kill them!"
Zhou Cheng shouted as he held the spear in his hand and attacked a soldier.
The officer held a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right. He had already cut down several Yellow Turban soldiers.
Clang!
The knife, gun, and camera shook the officer's hand. His arm felt numb as if it had been electrocuted, and the steel knife in his hand almost fell out of his hand.
"What great strength!"
Just as the officer was secretly shocked, Zhou Cheng waved his spear again and smashed it down like a stick.
This shot directly smashed into the shield on the captain's left hand.
The round copper shield in Dui Shuai's hand was deformed and Dui Shuai himself was sent flying.
Without waiting for the captain to get up again, Zhou Cheng chased after him and stabbed him to death.
"Thieves, die!"
The soldiers that followed the captain up the city immediately charged over when they saw Zhou Cheng kill the captain.
Zhou Cheng wasn't afraid. He had been reborn into this world. Although his family was poor, he was born with great strength. Even if he had only learned some basic military moves, he could still display considerable lethality.
With a sweep of his spear, he knocked away the steel saber in the hands of a soldier. Then, he stabbed again and killed another person.
Following that, the spear swept, stabbed, picked, and hacked.
In a short while, Zhou Cheng had killed more than ten soldiers.
However, before Zhou Cheng could catch his breath, he heard someone shouting," The city gate is open!"
It was unknown whether it was the government troops or the Yellow Turban soldiers who shouted.
Rumble!
An earthquake-like roar came from outside the city.
In the distance, a group of government troops on warhorses were charging towards the west gate.
The one charging at the front was especially eye-catching.
That person had a face like a red jujube, lips like butter, phoenix eyes, and eyebrows like silkworms. He had a dignified appearance and an awe-inspiring presence. It was Guan Yu.
Behind Guan Yu, there was a rider with a leopard's head and eyes. He had the beard of a tiger, and his voice was like thunder. It was Zhang Fei.
And the person behind them, with his earlobes and shoulders, could tell that he was Liu Bei.
Liu Guan Zhang and the other two jumped over the car and charged into the city like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. No one could stop them.
"Oh no!" Zhou Cheng was shocked and hurriedly said to his companion beside him,"Follow me to the city."
Zhou Cheng knew the capabilities of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei. Although they only had a hundred riders, if they were left alone, the city gates would not be able to close, and there would definitely be more soldiers pouring into the city.
Although Zhou Cheng's body was only 15 years old and his face was still slightly immature, he was also an old moth thief. His companions knew that he was brave and good at fighting, so they were all willing to follow him.
The strong were respected. Only by following the strong could they move longer.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng led the way down the city gate. Hundreds of people followed him down from the city gate tower. They saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others who were killing wantonly near the city gate.
Even Big Ear Liu, who was full of benevolence and righteousness, killed the Yellow Turban Army like slaughtering pigs and sheep without mercy.
"Kill them!"
Zhou Cheng straightened his neck, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He roared loudly, and his voice was like thunder. He used his roar to boost his courage.
The Martial Saint Guan Yu who killed Yan Liang, Wen Chou, passed the five stages, and killed six generals.
Zhang Fei took the head of a general from an army of a million soldiers as if he was taking something out of his pocket.
Facing these two people, Zhou Cheng felt uneasy.
However, Zhou Cheng knew that the government troops did not want prisoners.
He remembered that the book mentioned Zhao Hong and the others begging for surrender from Zhu He. However, Zhu He directly refused and made it clear that he didn't want any prisoners.
Therefore, in order to survive, he could only fight to the death.
