Fifty miles away from Zhuo County, the sky was slightly bright, and a hazy blood-red sun hung high in the sky.
It was supposed to be a day when the world woke up and everything was silent, but it was interrupted by the sound of hurried horse hooves.
An army of 50,000 soldiers appeared under the blood-red horizon. The soldiers were all fiendish and had yellow scarves around their heads while holding a yellow flag.
The person in the lead was wearing chainmail armor and holding a long spear in his hand. He was tall and sturdy and had a pair of eagle eyes looking forward. He was the Yellow Turban bandit leader, Cheng Yuanzhi.
"Zhuo County is right ahead. All troops, hurry up and break through this place!”
Cheng Yuanzhi shouted angrily.
"Haha, now that Zhuo County has been conquered, the soldiers can finally relax.”
There was another person beside Cheng Yuanzhi. He had a fierce-looking face and held a large saber in his hand. The blade was sharp and there were traces of blood on it. It was not difficult to see that the person who died under this saber was probably not in good condition. It was Cheng Yuanzhi's deputy general, Deng Mao.
As soon as Deng Mao said this, the eyes of the Yellow Turban soldiers lit up. Their human greed was instantly seduced and turned into a monstrous fighting spirit.
Rumble!
The two generals immediately tightened their reins and led their soldiers straight to Zhuo County.
The billowing dust covered the sky and the sun. Under the influence of the red sun, it was like a bloody mist.
........
In the direction of Zhuo County, within the city.
A man felt uneasy and paced back and forth in the mansion with an anxious expression.
"It's over, it's over. Fifty thousand Yellow Turban soldiers. How can my five thousand elite soldiers, a small lieutenant, resist them?”
The man complained with a sad face. This man was Zhuo County Governor Liu Yan's lieutenant, Zhou Jingye.
He was ordered to deploy troops to resist the Yellow Turban bandits in Zhuo County. At the same time, he posted the conscription order. This was also the first order he gave after coming to Zhuo County. However, how many soldiers could he recruit?
Now that the Yellow Turban bandits were getting closer and closer to Zhuo County, these five thousand elite soldiers would only be sending themselves to their deaths.
"Report! The Yellow Turban bandits have arrived!"
At this moment, a soldier rushed in in a panic.
Zhou Jing's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly tidied up his armor and rushed towards the city gate of Zhuo County.
When they reached the city gate and climbed up the city wall, they saw that the 50,000 Yellow Turban bandits were already approaching the city. At a glance, the dense number of Yellow Turban soldiers wearing Yellow Turban hats made one's hair stand on end.
"Defend the city gates!"
Zhou Jing had no choice but to issue such an order. At the same time, he ordered the search for strong men in the city who could fight. If it really did not work, Zhuo County could only be broken through by the Yellow Turban Army.
..........
At the same time, Liu Hao and the others were still waiting outside the iron shop in Zhuo County.
The halberd had been forged much longer than the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Eight-Feet Snake Spear. It had been more than a day, but other than the sound of metal striking, there was no other sound.
"Reporting to my lord, the Yellow Turban bandits have arrived at Zhuo County with 50,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and are preparing to attack the city!”
A black-armored cavalryman hurried over and said.
"How fast?"
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's expressions changed. According to their original estimates, it should be tomorrow.
"It must be the Yellow Turban Army.”
Liu Hao's expression remained calm.
"Then, my lord, should we immediately send troops?”
Guan Yu hesitated for a moment before asking.
"No hurry, let's wait a moment."
Liu Hao said lightly.
He could feel that the old master had reached a critical moment in forging the halberd. If he led his troops to battle now, he would definitely cause a lot of commotion. If he alarmed the old master, it would probably affect the forging of the halberd. Thus, he could only wait for the time being.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu looked at each other and did not say anything. They waited quietly like Liu Hao.
Clang.
As if they had heard their conversation, the sound of forging iron in the blacksmith shop became louder and louder. It was powerful and urgent.
"Open the city gates and we won't kill!"
At this moment, Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao started shouting at the city gates of Zhuo County.
Zhou Jing sat on the city wall and did not respond. The city gate was closed, but his fingers nervously tugged at the cloak behind him.
For now, other than asking Liu Yan for help and waiting for reinforcements, there seemed to be no other way. However, these reinforcements would not arrive in a short time. He did not know how long these 5,000 elite soldiers could hold on.
"Haha, you city guards are not afraid of death. Attack the city!”
Cheng Yuanzhi laughed loudly and immediately gave the order to attack.
When the Yellow Turban soldiers heard this, they split up into two paths. They frowned and wondered what the Yellow Turban soldiers were going to do.
Boom!
All of a sudden, there was a dull sound, and Zhou Jing's face turned pale.
The Yellow Turban bandits made way for two strange Yellow Turban soldiers. They were several feet tall and burly like a small mountain. Each of them carried two huge rocks on their shoulders.
As he moved, the ground would emit a loud sound and tremble.
"Yellow Turban. Strongman."
Zhou Jing licked his lips and said these words with difficulty.
He really didn't expect that the Yellow Turban bandits would send out Yellow Turban Warriors to attack the city. Yellow Turban Warriors had infinite strength and were bloodthirsty. They were like killing machines on the battlefield.
It was said that it was a monster that had been influenced by the talisman. It had no rationality and only listened to the Yellow Turban thief!
Zhou Jing, who had originally hoped to hold on for a few days, now had the idea of retreating immediately. This Yellow-scarved Strongman was no joke. When these monsters approached the city gate, Zhuo County would be breached.
"Break the city!"
Deng Mao shouted leisurely. In his eyes, Zhuo County was already in his pocket.
