Wu Feng's head was chopped off, and the soldiers became even more flustered. Some of them even turned around and fled.
Tian Gao and Wang Shou immediately shouted,"Get into formation to kill the enemy!"
However, He Man, Zhou Cang, and the others charged over again.
Although it was the main road in the city, its width was still limited. Furthermore, the road was filled with panic-stricken commoners. In the end, in the chaos, Zhou Cang stabbed Wang Shou to death again and beheaded him.
Tian Gao was frightened when he saw this. He hurriedly turned his horse around and wanted to retreat to avoid He Man and Zhou Cang.
However, a general was a soldier's courage. Wu Feng and Wang Shou had been killed, and Tian Gao was terrified. The nearly ten thousand soldiers had lost their morale.
Flags were thrown all over the ground, and in the panic, they were trampled on.
The county soldiers scattered.
"You're nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs. You can't even withstand a single blow," He Man said disdainfully.”
When Zhou Cheng led the Daybreak Cavalry to attack, Zhou Cang, He Man, and the others were chasing after the soldiers with tens of thousands of civilians.
The nearly ten thousand soldiers did not dare to turn back. They only hated their parents for not having a leg to run fast enough.
At the Provincial Governor's Office.
Wang Kao had just received news that Wu Feng and Wang Shou had been killed, and nearly ten thousand soldiers had been defeated.
Wang Kao almost fainted when he heard the news.
There were 20,000 soldiers in the city! It was actually so unbearable!
Of course, they couldn't blame the army in the city. Jizhou lacked soldiers. How could they not lose when facing Zhou Cheng's elites?
Actually, Wang Kao was still too kind.
If he closed the four gates and did not accept the people of the counties into the city, it would be difficult for Zhou Cheng to break through Ye City.
After all, it was very difficult to attack a city. He needed sufficient siege weapons, which Zhou Cheng did not have.
Of course, it was meaningless to say all this now.
It was a fact that Ye City had been breached. Wang Kao only had two choices now. One was to live and die with Ye City, and the other was to retreat to Guangzong and Julu. At the same time, he ordered the prefectures to defend and wait for Huangfu Song's army.
Without a doubt, Wang Kao chose the second option. Although he was one of the Eight Chefs, he was also afraid of death. Therefore, he immediately took his aides and family, and under the protection of Lieutenant Zhang Chang, he hurriedly fled in the direction of the eastern city.
At the same time.
Zhou Cheng's army finally arrived outside Ye City. When they saw the gates of Ye City wide open, thick smoke rose from the city, and the people fled, the moth bandits became even more excited.
This meant that Ye City had been breached and everything in Ye City was for them to plunder.
"Kill your way into the city and get food!”
"Get food and eat!"
"Giddyup!"
One hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers divided into four groups and rushed toward the east, south, west, and north of Ye City in a chaotic manner. They were like ferocious wolves, their eyes filled with ferocity.
These 100,000 people were starving!
Before they attacked Ye City, they had been traveling day and night. At the same time, they had run out of food. In other words, they were starving and had arrived at Ye City without rest.
What they wanted to do the most now was to enter Ye City and have a good meal.
Zhou Cheng left his guards with Lady Cai and Xun Cai.
Cai Shi and Xun Cai saw that the moth bandits, regardless of whether they were young or strong, old or weak, women or children, were all like wild beasts.
This scene was too shocking. It was something they had never seen before!
……
More and more Moth Bandits poured into Ye City.
Fortunately, Li Yan offered a plan. Wang Kao and the others changed into civilian clothes and hurriedly escaped from the eastern city. If they had been a little late, they would not have been able to leave the city.
The battle lasted for two hours.
The soldiers in the city were either dead, fleeing, or surrendering. Some of them were hiding in the houses.
Outside the Provincial Governor's Office, Zhou Cheng got off his horse. At this moment, he was hit by seven arrows. Fortunately, the sleeve armor he was wearing was Zhu Xi's, which had first-class defensive properties.
After the arrow hit the armor, it only caused a superficial wound and did not hurt the internal organs.
"Where is Wang Kao?" asked Zhou Cheng.
Xu Fang replied,"They have already escaped from the city during the chaos. Zhang Shao has already led the army to pursue them."”
"Escape? Your ability to escape is not bad." Zhou Cheng snorted disdainfully and then said to Xu Fang,"Tell Zhang Shao to stop chasing and return to the city to rest. Send someone else to bring Furen into the city.”
"Here!" Xu Fang immediately sent the cavalry to handle the matter.
Zhou Cheng immediately entered the Provincial Governor's Office, and the medical craftsman was also called in to retrieve an arrow for Zhou Cheng to treat his injuries.
However, the battle in the city had yet to come to an end. Ye City was a large city and there were many aristocratic families in the city.
At this moment, the aristocratic families that had yet to escape were desperately resisting, not allowing the moth bandits to enter the residence to rob.
Zhen Xian was sweating profusely, and the gates of the Zhen residence were already blocked. On the walls and roofs of the Zhen residence, servants armed with bows and arrows shot and killed many moth thieves who tried to approach.
Although they had successfully forced back the moth bandits, Ye City had already fallen, let alone Zhen Manor.
Zhen Xian also understood that resisting would only lead to death.
However, the Zhen family had been merchants for generations, so they understood one thing.
The King of Hell was easy to meet, but the little devil was difficult to deal with.
Now that the moth bandits couldn't attack Zhen Manor, they would definitely mobilize more troops and alert the generals.
Zhen Xian wanted to talk to the general of the moth bandits.
Now that the moth bandits were like grasshoppers after autumn, they wouldn't be able to last for more than a few days. He believed that they understood this principle. Therefore, as long as the price was enough, they could protect the Zhen Manor.
