In Wan City, the Nanyang Mayor Qin Jie's expression was extremely ugly. His hands were tightly gripping the table, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on the map in front of him.
"Damned Yellow Turban thief!"
After a long time, he shouted angrily and slammed his palm on the table.
The Yellow Turban bandits had risen too quickly. Zhang Mancheng and his three generals had been using their demonic spells nonstop. In an instant, they had defeated the Nanyang garrison and fled in panic. In less than a day, they had occupied Nanyang County. This speed was truly shocking and made Qin Jie lose face.
"Governor, General Zhu is leading his reinforcements.”
A soldier hurriedly walked in and said.
Qin Jie's face looked much better now. With the arrival of reinforcements, especially the fierce general Zhu He, it was not impossible to recapture Nanyang.
"Why is the Han army so weak?”
Just as his expression improved a little, a shout rang out from outside the city.
Qin Jie's face turned ugly again. He was not unfamiliar with this voice. It was Zhang Mancheng, the Yellow Turban Army's commander who had captured Nanyang this time!
Zhang Mancheng held a black iron spear in his hand and looked at the guards on the city wall with a mocking gaze.
"Chief, this is the limit of the Han Army. I'm afraid Wan City will be breached soon.”
Han Zhong, who was standing behind Zhang Mancheng, laughed out loud.
In this attack on Wan City, Zhang Mancheng had gathered all the Yellow Turban soldiers in Jingzhou. He was bound to take over the entire Nanyang with lightning speed. It would be a piece of cake for such a force to besiege Wan City.
"Don't be so arrogant. If you think you can break through Wan City, you can try.”
Qin Jie walked to the city wall and glared at him.
Zhang Mancheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly pulled out his longbow.
Whoosh!
With a sound of breaking the air, the arrow went straight for Qin Jie's face.
Before the bow and arrow arrived, it transformed into an eagle in the air with a piercing sound, and its might became even more shocking.
"Be careful, Mayor!"
Before Qin Jie could react, a soldier beside him shouted and shot an arrow at the eagle.
Clang!
Flames shot out in all directions, and a wave of air swept across the city walls of Wan City.
Kacha!
With a crisp sound, a small crack appeared on the city wall where the arrows collided.
"Traitor, how dare you!"
Qin Jie's face turned ashen as he shouted.
Zhang Mancheng didn't reply. Instead, he looked at the person behind Qin Jie in shock. It was La Ren who had pulled his bow and blocked his arrow in a hurry.
He had charged up his strength, but the other party had only done it casually. How could he easily block his arrow?
"Who are you?"
He looked at the person behind Qin Jie and asked.
This person was not a young general. He wore heavy armor and his hair was slightly white. He seemed to be close to the age of 60.
At this age, there were very few people who could still join the army and kill enemies on the battlefield.
"I am Huang Zhong, a lieutenant of You County, Changsha.”
The soldier immediately cupped his hands and shouted.
Although he was past his prime, his demeanor was still gone. His every move carried the demeanor of a general.
Zhang Mancheng narrowed his eyes. There was actually such a fierce general in Wan City. Moreover, this person was a little old. If he was younger, who would be able to resist him?
"Retreat for now."
Zhang Mancheng took a deep breath and the Yellow Turban soldiers retreated.
The crisis of Wan City being besieged was temporarily resolved, but Qin Jie was also curious. It seemed that Qin Jie did not attack Wan City. Why?
Afraid of Huang Zhong?
Or was he waiting for something?
"Thank you, General."
Taking a deep breath, Qin Jie thanked Huang Zhong, who was already past his prime. If Huang Zhong had not blocked the arrow, he would have lost his life.
"Milord, there's no need to be so polite.”
Huang Zhong hurriedly cupped his hands and said. He seemed to be a little surprised by this.
"This is what a general should do."
Qin Jie said with a complicated expression after a brief silence.
When Nanyang County was captured, Qin Jie first asked for reinforcements from Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. This person used Liu Pan from You County in Changsha to come and help.
However, to his surprise, You County was also invaded by the Yellow Turban Army, so Liu Pan could only let Huang Zhong lead five thousand elite soldiers to support them.
When Qin Jie saw that the reinforcement was a general who had passed his prime, he sighed and did not put the reinforcement in his eyes.
At this age, what ability could he have to turn the tide on the battlefield?
If it wasn't for today, he would have forgotten what Huang Zhong was like. Only after that scene did he realize that he had underestimated Huang Zhong, and his expression became a little complicated.
Huang Zhong didn't say anything. Although this person was brave, he was somewhat stubborn and old-fashioned. He had always given orders.
"Since General is so brave, do you have a way to break through the Yellow Turban Army besieging the city?”
Qin Jie hesitated for a moment and asked with a trace of expectation in his heart.
"I can't."
Huang Zhong shook his head. He was powerful on the battlefield, but he really had no way to deal with the current situation.
The Yellow Turban Army was truly too strange, with endless demonic spells. Under such circumstances, it was indeed very difficult to conquer them.
"However, I heard that when General Zhu Xi was besieged by Changshe, he had the help of a person. That person easily broke the demonic magic of the Yellow Turban Army and defeated the Yellow Turban Army of Changshe.”
Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment before slowly saying.
"Are you talking about General Liu Hao?”
Qin Jie's eyes lit up.
