The next day.
Yang Yi led 1,000 black-armored cavalrymen, 18 cavalrymen of Yanyun, Zou Jing, Wang Meng, and Yuwen Cheng to arrive five kilometers away from Ji City, the capital of Youzhou Province.
Yang Yi occupied a nearby mountain forest. He, Wang Meng, Zou Jing, and Yuwen Cheng stood at the highest point of the mountain forest and looked towards Ji City.
Although the Yellow Turban army was densely packed, they were divided into eight formations.
From this, it could be seen that there were about 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels attacking Ji City.
Although Ji City was tall and easy to defend, the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels attacked the city without any regard for their lives.
Moreover, they used ladders, siege logs, and arrows to attack.
The guards of Ji City at the city gate tower were surrounded by the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels, and the situation seemed to be in danger.
Yang Yi looked at the guards at the city gate being shot down by the crossbow bolts from time to time.
The guards on the city wall smashed the boulders and arrows down the city wall.
From time to time, they broke the ladder and many Yellow Turban bandits fell down.
From this, it could be seen that the battle situation was very tragic.
However, the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebel army would not be able to break through Ji City in a short period of time.
However, Yang Yi knew that the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels could not break through Ji City now, but it did not mean that they could not break through Ji City in the next few days.
Therefore, Yang Yi looked at Zou Jing and Wang Meng beside him.
When Zou Jing saw the Yellow Turban rebel army and the soldiers guarding the city engage in a life-and-death battle, he couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
However, he knew that he could only wait for Chen Qingzhi's arrival. Otherwise, these troops alone would not be able to defeat the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels.
Wang Meng saw a tall and sturdy general striding out of the Yellow Turban rebel army's central flag.
Wang Meng pointed at that person and said in a deep voice," My lord, this person must be the Yellow Turban Marshal who besieged Ji City. He can command 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels. It can be seen that he is stronger than the Yellow Turban Marshal Cheng Yuanzhi, whom my lord killed before."”
" Now, we can't fight head-on. The 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels won't be able to take Ji City in a short time. It's better to wait for Ziyun and Yong Zeng to come and then counterattack. At that time, we will be able to defeat the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels in one go.”
When Yang Yi heard this, he had the same thought in his heart. After all, this was not just a small number of Yellow Turban rebels, but a whole 80,000.
Even killing eighty thousand pigs would require several days and nights, let alone eighty thousand soldiers.
Fortunately, he had already sent out the 18 riders of Yan Yun and had Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min, and the others rush over.
Zou Jing did not say anything. He agreed with Wang Meng's words very much.
At the same time, it also convinced Wang Meng's foresight.
As for Yang Yi, Zou Jing's respect for him was even deeper.
The Yellow Turban commander saw that the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebel army could not take it down for a long time. He immediately changed his strategy and ordered the Yellow Turban rebel army to shoot arrows at the city.
Tens of thousands of crossbow bolts shot towards the city wall. The Ji City guards who didn't have time to dodge fell from the city wall on the spot.
At the same time, Liu Yan, who had been in the city, was burning with anxiety.
Because of the siege of the Yellow Turban rebels, Ji City seemed to be in imminent danger.
At this moment, when he thought of Yang Yi, Liu Yan shook his head. He didn't want Yang Yi to come to Ji City and take the risk.
After all, this was an army of 80,000 Yellow Turban bandits. If Yang Yi came, he would definitely be captured.
At that time, it would be too late for him to regret.
He had always regarded Yang Yi as a talented general, so for the sake of Yang Yi's safety, he had always wanted to send scouts to Zhuo County to tell Yang Yi not to come.
However, the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels besieged Ji City, and the city was impenetrable. It could be said that it was like an iron wall, so Liu Yan could not send any troops.
Looking at his strategists who were all at a loss, Liu Yan felt even more vexed.
Could it be that Ji City would eventually be breached by the Yellow Turban rebels?
Liu Yan looked up at the sky, feeling completely lost.
Suddenly, a guard came to report,"Sir, the Yellow Turban rebels have retreated."”
Liu Yan's expression froze. He then climbed up the city gate tower and saw the Yellow Turban Army returning to the camp.
Liu Yan sighed and said,"Count the wounded soldiers."”
"Yes!"
A few strategists agreed, but they saw Liu Yan leave in a daze.
In the next three days, the Yellow Turban commander led 80,000 Yellow Turban rebel soldiers to attack Ji City again and again.
Although the soldiers of Ji City resisted bravely, many of them were killed.
In fact, the soldiers of Ji City had already lost their morale.
Zou Jing saw this and anxiously looked behind him.
That afternoon, Zou Jing saw the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun returning.
"Greetings, Lord. Chen Qingzhi and the others are about to arrive.”
The Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yan Yun dismounted and cupped their fists at Yang Yi.
When Yang Yi heard this, a glint flashed across his eyes. On the other hand, Zou Jing, Wang Meng, and the others revealed looks of joy.
Yuwen Cheng couldn't hold it in any longer. He had been staying put for the past few days, and he couldn't hold it in any longer.
That evening, when the 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels returned to their camp, Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min, and Luo Cheng led nearly 20,000 cavalry to the forest five kilometers away.
"Greetings, my lord."
"Greetings, my lord."
Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min, Luo Cheng, and the other soldiers said in unison, all revealing incomparable respect.
Yang Yi glanced at the nearly 20,000 cavalry and nodded slightly."Generals, there's no need to be so polite."
Chen Qingzhi and the others looked at the Yellow Turban rebel camp that was about to be shrouded in darkness and asked in a low voice,""My lord, how should we defeat these 80,000 Yellow Turban rebels?”
Before he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
