The sky had just brightened when the Yellow Turban Army surged toward the city wall like a tide.
"Langjun! This place is dangerous, you can leave!"
Xie Qi hurriedly shouted at Lu Peng.
Lu Peng smiled faintly. What danger was there? The weak arrows of the Yellow Turban Army could not reach the city at all.
On the contrary, the master archers in the arrow towers took away a life with every arrow.
Lu Peng was no longer worried at all. This battle was basically for him to gain merit points.
The city walls that had been built by the people were sturdy and thick. The archers on the archery towers looked down from above, their archery skills were accurate, their morale was high, and their logistics were sufficient.
On the other hand, not only had the Yellow Turban side suffered a new defeat last night, but their siege weapons were also extremely crude. The vanguard troops were scattered by a rain of arrows, and the morale that had been slightly boosted by Wu Ba immediately sank again.
Lu Peng stood calmly on the city wall, looking at the bandit leader who was supervising the battle on the hill below the city.
It was a pity that this fellow was trying to escape.
Wu Ba had indeed decided to run away. At this moment, the sky was already bright, and he finally realized how terrifying the arrow rain on the city wall was!
In addition, the city walls of this small county were unexpectedly solid. The Yellow Turban, who were not good at attacking cities, would be courting death if they continued to attack.
"Motherf * cker! Retreat!" The fairy-like figure from before was still lingering in his mind. Wu Ba spat on the ground unwillingly, raised his weapon, and peed in Lu Peng's direction.
"Brothers, let this dog official live for a few more days. Let's retreat first!”
At this time, in the east of Yangquan City, downstream of the river, a head suddenly popped out from the reeds by the river. His face was like black iron, and his eyes were shining. He said,"Youping, get ready. It's time to work!”
"Huhei..." A burly man stood up next to him. He made an unknown sound and looked at Yangquan City expressionlessly.
"I originally wanted to help Lu Langjun out of trouble, but these Yellow Turban thieves are so useless.”The person who spoke earlier also stood up and wore a bamboo hat. He whistled,"Brothers, listen to me!"
Immediately, men emerged from the reeds. They were all muscular and had ferocious appearances.
"Since my brothers think highly of me, Jiang Gongyi, and are willing to come with me, let's speak first! "From today onwards, we've joined the government. In the future, we'll be government troops. With military discipline, we won't be able to do as we please like thieves in the past! If anyone dares to act recklessly, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship!”
The person wearing the bamboo hat was the famous Jiang Thief, Jiang Qin, Jiang Gongyi. After he finished speaking, someone said hesitantly,"Second brother, we naturally understand that it's best to have a good background. However, although the Yangquan County Magistrate has a good reputation, he's just a county magistrate. Why don't you find a good place to go?"
"Cut the crap! Your taste is better than mine, right? Hurry up and shut up! Alright, that fellow has retreated. Brothers, follow me! If he couldn't chop off Wu Ba's head, he wouldn't be able to face Lu Langjun! Go to Youping!"
Seeing the Yellow Turban Army being routed from Yangquan City, Jiang Qin shouted loudly, jumped onto the river bank with two sabers in his hands, and took the lead.
"Hey!" The burly man next to him rushed forward without a sound. He swung the long saber in his hand like a flash of lightning and charged straight into the Yellow Turban army formation.
The Yellow Turban Army, which had already been scattered, suddenly encountered this group of crazy men who were like tigers and wolves, and immediately fell into chaos. Wu Ba was shocked and furious. He raised his spear and personally went forward, but the burly man who wielded the saber had already snatched him up and chopped him off his horse with a single slash.
With their leader gone, the Yellow Turban Army fled in all directions.
Lu Peng had already left the city. He did not plan to chase after them. After all, his forces were still not strong enough. At this moment, Xie Qi ran over and shouted,"Langjun, Huang Jin's retreat route has been blocked!"”
Lu Peng was stunned and quickly returned to the city to take a look. He happened to see the burly man who used the saber kill Wu Ba with one slash and then chase after him like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
"Langjun, could it be the reinforcements of the prefect?”
Lu Peng shook his head. How could the Lujiang reinforcements arrive so quickly?
He was deep in thought, and a smile appeared on his face. He ordered,""Open the city gates!"
Lu Peng slowly walked out of the city gate and saw two burly men leading two to three hundred people outside the city.
"Jiang Qin from Jiujiang greets Lu Langjun!”
Jiang Qin walked forward and cupped his hands.
Lu Peng revealed a gentle smile.""Gongyi, the Jianghu is in turmoil. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Why are you so late?”
Jiang Qin scratched his head and smiled awkwardly."We don't have a form of allegiance, so how can we come to Langjun? This is my brother Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping from the same county. I'm willing to work for you!”
After saying that, the two of them knelt down together.
Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin…Lu Peng's face was calm, but his heart was already blooming with joy.
It's not easy. After a year, there's finally a reliable talent! Do you think it's easy for a small county magistrate like me?
