Chapter 105: Soldiers approaching the city
September 9th, Double Ninth Festival, Liangzhou City, black clouds are over the city, dark clouds are rolling, covering most of the sky, the strong wind is blowing, and the battle flags are flying, giving people a feeling of wind and clouds coming and wind is coming, and it makes people feel bored and heavy!
"The black clouds are crushing the city and want to destroy it!"
On the city tower with the high wall of the south gate, Zhou Xin was wearing black armor and looked solemn.
"General, you should be too arrogant to those traitors. Although there are many people and powerful people, they are all formed by a group of refugees. It's just a collapsed dog. With our army, it's not easy to defeat them."
A deputy general with thick eyebrows, big eyes and burly figure next to him said, "He was very confident. Although the Yellow Turban Army swept over half of Dongyan County within three days and conquered the city and land, he didn't take it too seriously. In his impression, these Yellow Turban Army were gathered by some refugees, each with pale face and thin skin, and had any combat power. Even in his heart, there was a hurricane. If a general wants to be promoted, he is undoubtedly military merit. In its opinion, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is to give him military merit.
"Never underestimate the enemy. For generals, be anxious to avoid being impatient. You can be confident, but not be conceited."
Zhou Xin glanced at the deputy general next to him. He was a calm person, otherwise the court would not let him guard Dongyan County. Dongyan County had a special geographical location, which was adjacent to Qi and Han countries. Among them, Hangu Pass was even more handed over to Han countries, which was equivalent to the gateway of Liang countries. Once there was a problem, the entire Liang country might be destroyed. This is not to say, after all, the strength of Han countries is. In fact, Liang country is too far behind Han countries. If it weren't for the restraint of Western Chu in the south and the surrounding Qi countries, Zhao countries would have restrained South Korea, otherwise Liang country would have been destroyed long ago. Among the eight countries, Chu and Han countries are the strongest, and the Overlord of Western Chu was recognized as the highest in the world.
There are many generals with martial arts and magical powers under their command. Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and several generals with martial arts and magical powers in the Han Kingdom. Overall, they are not as weak as Western Churuo. On the other six countries, they are much weaker. There are only one or two martial arts and magical powers or the realm of souls. However, these countries are not stupid. They know that a country cannot deal with these two countries. They often unite and restrain each other. Moreover, Chu and Han live in the Yangtze River from north to south, and do not want the other party to unify the rear and restrain each other. This is true, which is the subtle situation of the Eight Kingdoms today.
Zhou Xin's face was deep, but his heart was a little heavy and uneasy. In fact, he had been a little uneasy a long time ago. The Liang Kingdom was getting more and more chaotic. This sudden uprising was like a wake-up call on his heart. The most important thing was that Chen Yan is now old, over two hundred years old, and ordinary martial arts and magical cultivators are only two hundred years old. Of course, it is not surprising that he is a ruthless man like Xiang Yu who is ruthless and ruthless. He is rich in energy and blood. After all, he is Xiang Yu. Even at the level of martial arts and magical powers, there are strengths and weaknesses, but obviously, Chen Yan cannot compare with Xiang Yu.
"Report!" At this moment, a scout walked behind Zhou Xin.
"Say!" Zhou Xin raised his eyebrows.
"Return to the general, I just found out that the Yellow Turban Army was stationed on Pingyang slope three miles outside the city. The number was about 300,000, and it was called the 400,000 army!"
"so much!"
Zhou Xin's face changed slightly—
"Who is leading the army?"
"The leaders were General Zhang Bao, the Earth King, and the Zuo Jiao of the Eight Generals, Yu Digen, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, and Yang Feng."
Hearing the scout's reward, Zhou Xin's face slowly sank. Although he was prepared, he still felt a little heavy. The army of 300,000 and the five generals of the eight generals!
The Eight Generals are the eight generals of the Yellow Turban Army. Although they only lasted two or three days, the reputation of the eight people has spread. Each of them has the cultivation of Huajin. They are called the Eight Generals by the Yellow Turban Army. Now that the five generals gather together, they are equivalent to five masters of Huajin, and there is an army of 300,000 behind them!
Even Zhou Xin felt a heavy pressure. Although he claimed to have stationed 100,000 troops, in fact, less than 80,000 troops, the entire Dongyan Army was only 200,000, of which more than 100,000 were stationed in Hangu Pass. The soldiers there did not dare to move at all, because the Han Dynasty was opposite. He did not dare to relax in the slightest face of Han.
Eighty thousand to three hundred thousand!
What Zhou Xin was most worried about was General Zhang Bao of the Earth. According to information, the two highest men in the Yellow Turban Army were General Zhang Jiao, who was respected as a great wise mentor, followed by General Zhang Bao of the Earth. Although Zhang Bao's prestige is far inferior to Zhang Jiao, can he be a simple character as a leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and he is worse than the eight generals?
"These traitors should have eliminated the Taiping Cult at the beginning!"
Zhou Xin said coldly that Taiping Cult rose after this winter plague. At first, it was mainly used to preach and save the disease. He drew talisman water for people who were infected. He saved people while spreading teachings. Because the talisman water was very effective, people would be cured almost as soon as they drank it. Gradually, more and more people believed in Taiping Cult.
He didn't care much at first, but just thought it was an ordinary folk sect. Until now, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, he regretted it and did not kill these thieves in the cradle.
"This battle is difficult!"
Finally, Zhou Xin sighed. It was too late to say anything now. One step was wrong, one step was wrong. Now he could only hope that the sheep would be repaired, and everything was still in time.
"Why should the general be more ambitious and destroy his own might? For many years, I have been guarding the borders of Dongyan County and resisting the strong Han in the south to fight in the fourth field outside Hangu Pass. Are you still afraid of his group of mobs? What about the eight generals? We are not fewer than them in the Huajin masters."
The deputy general next to him has always been very confident!
"You are right, my Dongyan Army, why are you afraid of others?"
Zhou Xin also spoke. At this time, he did not say anything discouraged. For generals, he should pay attention to momentum first, and he is not completely unconfidence. Although there are five major war generals on the other side, here, in addition to him, there are also five masters of Huajin in his army. Compared with the top standing power, he is not weaker than the opponent!

"Dong...Dong!...Dong!..."
The next day, the war drums were ringing, and the desolate howl resounded throughout Liangzhou City. On Liangzhou City, the battle flags were flying. Zhou Xin was wearing black armor, standing in front of the sword, standing on the city wall.
Under the city, there were too many Yellow Turban Army, densely packed, and the yellow battle flags danced under the strong wind!
The lead clouds in the sky were like ink, pressing low, as if they were about to fall, and a stern sensation filled the place!
"Attack!" "Attack!" "Attack!"...
Finally, a general in armor in front of the Yellow Turban Army below shouted loudly, and then the army behind him rushed towards the city gate like locusts!
"put!"
On the city tower, Zhou Xin waved his hand and the archers prepared in advance aimed at the bottom and shot them out!
"Brush!Brush!Brush!..."
Tens of thousands of arrows were flying, and they shot down from the city wall like raindrops. This was a shocking scene. Tens of thousands of arrows were shooting down from the city wall one by one. In just a moment, screams sounded, and the Yellow Turban Army who was rushing to the front fell a large area...
