There were about three to four days left before Zhang Bao arrived at Guangzong City.
Liu Cheng didn't care about Zhang Bao's army at all.
100,000 horses, 10,000 cavalrymen, 90,000 infantrymen, and not a single archer.
Because Zhang Bao's army had 10,000 cavalrymen, it was definitely a powerful existence in the entire Yellow Turban Army.
However, it was useless against a siege.
Ninety-nine percent of the Yellow Turban soldiers were refugees. These people couldn't even eat, so how could they have the time to learn archery?
Even if the Yellow Turban soldiers had some archers, most of them were stationed in the city.
The Yellow Turban soldiers that Liu Cheng had recruited could not be used for the time being, but five thousand valiant archers and one thousand Wei soldiers could easily defend a city that was not attacked by a hundred thousand archers.
In the past few days, Liu Cheng had ordered his soldiers to prepare the tools to defend the city and brainwashed the Yellow Turban soldiers.
Liu Cheng still had his own plans for these five thousand troops.
4,000 of them were trained to become soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, and the remaining 1,000 would continue to fill up the intelligence camp.
However, when Liu Cheng summoned 1,000 soldiers, he realized that he was thinking too much.
The equipment of the soldiers of Wei was much better than the equipment of the valiant archers.
Crossbows, arrows, spears, shields, armor…
"I suddenly realized that I'm so poor…"
Liu Cheng sighed. It seemed that after this matter was over, it was time to get some money.
Three days had passed, and Zhang Bao arrived.
Zhang Jiao's body was hanging on the city wall, and his body was already rotting.
Zhang Bao's eyes widened, and he instantly lost his rationality.
Without any hesitation, he did not even use any engineering tools. He carried a few scaling ladders and ordered the siege.
Liu Cheng's goal had been achieved. If he relied solely on the scaling ladder, Liu Cheng would not even need to expend a single soldier.
And that was the truth. There was only the time for an incense stick to burn.
Rolling stones, rolling logs, bows and arrows, crossbows and arrows…
The number of Yellow Turban soldiers decreased sharply, and Zhang Bao was about to go crazy with anger.
However, seeing the number of his soldiers decrease, Zhang Bao endured the pain and ordered the retreat.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Zhang Bao's army of 100,000 soldiers was reduced to less than 30,000.
Corpses littered the ground outside Guangzong City, and blood flowed like a river.
The moat had turned into a river of blood.
That night, Liu Cheng took Cheng Yu's suggestion and attacked Zhang Bao's camp.
The rocket, together with the strong wind, instantly ignited the military camp that Zhang Bao had just built.
The fatigue of the journey, the wounds of the siege, and the mental trauma of the defeat made the Yellow Turban army almost powerless to fight.
The fire devoured countless lives, and Zhang Bao was about to go crazy. He led his remaining soldiers to fight.
In just one exchange, he was slashed by Guan Yu's saber.
Looking at the heads, Liu Cheng captured another fifteen thousand Yellow Turban soldiers.
Counting the results of the battle, Zhang Bao still had a lot of food and supplies.
What made Liu Cheng the happiest was that he had obtained another three thousand horses.
Although he had no plans to expand the Valiant Archers, these horses were essential for the intelligence camp.
After returning to Guangzong City, Liu Cheng washed up and lay on Liang Hongyu's white legs. He finally felt more at ease.
"Husband now has Deng Mao, Cheng Yuanzhi, Chu Yan, Bo Cai, Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Bao. With so many heads, I'm afraid that the old emperor will reward you well this time.”
Liang Hongyu said with a smile as she massaged Liu Cheng's head.
"Of course, my husband is so powerful. He definitely had to reward him well. Hmm, his requirements were not high. He had to be crowned a king no matter what.”
"King…"
Liu Cheng smiled and shook his head." If I only killed Cheng Yuanzhi and the other generals, perhaps that guy would give me the title of prefect of a big place on account of our clan." But now I've killed Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao. This will only make the old emperor wary of me. Although I wasn't afraid of this, I didn't want to be schemed against by these people either. I killed this Yellow Turban leader to gain more prestige. The world is going to be in chaos soon. I need to think about it in advance.”
"Yes... Husband was right. However, what if the imperial edict comes down and asks you to go to Luoyang?”
"Go to Luoyang?"
"If the Spirit Monarch wants me to go to Luoyang, there are only two possibilities. First, he is afraid of my strength and wants to disintegrate me. Secondly, it was Zhang Rang, the Attendant of the Ten Generals, who had faked the imperial edict or induced the Spirit Monarch to write the imperial edict. His goal is to get me to Luoyang to help fight against that butcher, He Jin. However…"
Liu Cheng paused for a moment, then a somewhat evil smile appeared on his face.
"I have no intention of interfering in the conflict between the eunuch and the butcher. It's just a dogfight. At that time, he would incur the wrath of the masses. The true chaos of the world will begin at that time…"
