On the city wall, Wang Yun led his personal guards and besieged the heaven-level generals of the Yellow Turban Army. The battle was quite fierce.
The heaven-level general of the Yellow Turban Army was also quite brave, and he was not one-sided in the face of the siege.
Huang Zhong did not go to support, but just kept raiding the formation nearby.
A city without a general guarding it would have no chance of being able to defend it against a strong general like Huang Zhong. If casualties were not considered, Dingling City would have been captured as early as the first siege.
Compared with Lin Mu's great victory and sweep, Huang Zhong's record seemed a bit disastrous, because he only used bows and arrows to shoot people, and most of the people he shot did not die, because Huang Zhong always shot the thigh or arm. Didn't cause too many kills, plus he stayed in a deep position. How much better could the record be!
Of course, if you look carefully, the people Huang Zhong shot were all people above the Xuan-level generals. In a short time, he shot down eight earth-level generals and more than 20 Xuan-level generals, turning the battle against the Han army. More advantageous.
As for Lin Mu, his record was so high because neither the earth-level military commanders nor the heaven-level military commanders came to hinder him.
"Boom!" More and more Han troops poured in from the city gate.
After entering the city, the soldiers from the Dahuang Territory did not join the battlefield, but went straight to the wounded barracks and captured those guys who were shot by General Huang Zhong!
with a clear purpose.
"Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!" At this time, calls for surrender continued to be heard from the Han army.
The morale of the Yellow Turban Army was already low. Under such circumstances, they were even more unwilling to fight. These Yellow Turban soldiers are not as high-quality as the elites under Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
Being able to persist until now is already considered outstanding.
"Damn it!" The Yellow Turban Army heaven-level general was shocked. This situation has exceeded expectations.
Finding a gap, he escaped Wang Yun's entanglement and rushed to the north gate with the remaining troops.
The Han army surrounded the four walls, with the smallest number of Han troops on the northern wall. At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army no longer considered why there were so few Han troops on the northern wall. They knew that such a wall was their best route to escape.
Surrounding three and missing one does not mean that it only surrounds three sides but not the fourth. Instead, they are all surrounded, but the number of troops is different.
After being surrounded by the Han army, some Yellow Turban troops who had no time to escape began to abandon their weapons and surrender.
In this way, after the Yellow Turban Army completely gave up defending the city, the Han Army easily captured Dingling City. The casualties caused by both sides in this battle were not many.
After capturing Dingling City, everyone began to rush towards the city lord's palace, preparing to restore order in the city.
And just when Lin Mu and Wang Yungang walked to the door of the City Lord's Mansion, they saw a group of people coming from the west. Huang Xu and others were clearly in the queue, but in front of them, a strange face appeared.
"Wenju, why are you here?!" Wang Yun was overjoyed when he saw this person. He walked over immediately and asked enthusiastically.
It turns out that this person is Kong Rong and Kong Wenju, the descendants of Confucius!
"Master!" Kong Rong saluted Wang Yun and said softly. He did not call Wang Yun the governor, but called him by his cousin, which showed how familiar they were with each other.
Lin Mu next to him heard the conversation between the two and remained calm. Good guy, it turns out that the west wall was knocked down so quickly because Kong Rong came with troops to help.
"It's hard to describe in one word!" Kong Rong sighed with emotion.
Kong Rong was previously a subordinate of Taiwei Yang Ci. Although Yang Ci was later dismissed, Kong Rong should not be involved in anything, so he looked depressed.
"A gentleman's time is like water, and a villain's time is like fire." Kong Rong said quietly.
When Wang Yun heard this, a gleam appeared in his eyes. No need to explain, he knew what happened to Kong Rong.
The villain is in the right situation (power), which clearly refers to He Jin who was promoted from Henan Yin to the general!
The biggest relative!
"It's okay if you come here. Why don't you work under me recently." Wang Yun suggested.
"No!" Kong Rong nodded.
"Shang Shuang, please arrange the literary examination later." Wang Yun said to the person next to him.
"promise!"
"Let's go in." Wang Yun waved his hand and led everyone into the city lord's mansion.
After entering the city lord's palace and retreating from some subordinate officials, Wang Yun, Kong Rong, Lin Mu and others sat in the hall to discuss matters.
Through conversation, we also found out why Kong Rong came here suddenly.
It can be summed up in four words: offend He Jin!
Lin Mu looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar face and sighed slightly. Kong Rong, this is a big celebrity! Life experience is full of glory and ups and downs.
However, Rao was forced out of Luoyang by He Jin. After Kong Rong went south, he also obtained 200,000 soldiers, horses and food on the way.
Boy, is this the power of celebrity? ! So many soldiers and horses were obtained casually.
This is similar to Cao Cao before!
Compared with Cao Cao and Kong Rong, Lin Mu really lacked connections.
People could easily pull up a huge team just by walking around the surrounding cities, but for Lin Mu, even if he used money to buy soldiers, those self-contained nobles might not even want to sell to him farmers.
This is the gap, and it is also the gap between players and indigenous people.
"Alas... the Yellow Turban Army is the source of cholera in China. Along the way, I saw countless Yellow Turban Army cholera cities and towns. In addition to robbing grain and grass, they also continued to kill people. They are a cancer in China!"
"Well! As the situation develops, those Yellow Turbans gradually lose their fighting spirit and begin to fight around cholera. But this is good, it means that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is coming to an end. As long as Zhang Mancheng Bocai and Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao of Jizhou are eliminated, the Yellow Turbans will The chaos is over!" Wang Yun said solemnly.
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Kong Rong glanced at Lin Mu and was about to ask who this person was, but was interrupted by a voice:
"Report! Emergency military report!!"
"Master Governor, urgent report from Xiangcheng!" A messenger rushed in and shouted loudly.
"Urgent report from Xiangcheng? Say it quickly!" Wang Yun stood up and said in a solemn voice.
"Xiangcheng is working hard to send an urgent report for help. Currently, the Cavalry Commander and others are surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army in the city!"
"The Yellow Turban Army has dispatched at least 800,000 troops!" the messenger said breathlessly.
"What? Are 800,000 Yellow Turban troops surrounding Xiangcheng?" Wang Yun was shocked.
You know, Cao Cao had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and both Wuyang City and Xiangcheng were captured by Cao Cao.
Why are you surrounded in Xiangcheng now? ! There are so many soldiers and horses, can't they break through? Can't counterattack?
Lin Mu frowned when he heard the urgent report. The Battle of Xiangcheng had appeared!
Unfortunately, it turned out to be earlier than the re-estimated time. They originally thought that after taking care of Dingling City, they would be able to go there early.
Now that the city is under siege, they are outside and don't know if they can be effective.
"General Lin Mu, what do you think?" Wang Yun's face was gloomy and uncertain, and then he asked Lin Mu the question.
General Lin Mu? Is this person Lin Mu? When Kong Rong heard Wang Yun's words, he looked at Lin Mu in shock.
Kong Rong was different from Wang Yun. He didn't have that kind of political sensitivity. He didn't specifically collect Lin Mu's portraits or anything like that. He just heard people talk about them.
Unexpectedly, those famous people mentioned by Minister Long Ting were actually seen here.
"After Dingling City is settled, we will go over to provide support." Lin Mu immediately responded.
"However, before that, it is best to divide some troops to investigate first. Huang Zhong's horse archers are the best choice. With our troops, we can provide some support first." Lin Mu suggested.
"In that case, I'll leave it to General Lin Mu." Wang Yun nodded.
Dingling City has just been conquered, and it will take some time to restore order, and the Yellow Turban supplies in the city still need to be harvested.
In this way, Wang Yun took his troops and Kong Rong's 200,000 troops to temporarily stay in Dingling City, while Lin Mu followed Huang Zhong with his troops and attacked Xiangcheng.
Lin Mu's troops numbered more than 200,000, and Wang Yun's troops also numbered 200,000. Together with Kong Rong's troops, the total number was more than 600,000, which was a strong force.
Support should be no problem. Therefore, Wang Yun was not in such a hurry.
After leaving the city gate, Lin Mu turned to look at Dingling City, then turned and left.
"Lord, according to the intelligence, this sudden appearance of the Yellow Turban Army is not weak. It has already defeated Cao Cao's troops in the city." After a day of urgent march, in the temporary camp, Lin Mu listened to the message from the Night Shadow Division. Information.
"Were you unable to find out who the leader was?" Lin Mu asked.
"They are well hidden, so we don't know. But based on some clues, we guess that some of these Yellow Turbans belong to He Yi He Man."
"What Yi He Man?! It has finally changed!" Lin Mu sighed with emotion.
He Yi, He Man and Bo Cai have joined forces!
At this moment, a vast announcement from the Huaxia District sounded:
"--Ding!"
"——Huaxia District Announcement: Heaven has its own way, and the earth has its constants! Because special conditions were met, Bo Cai on the Yuzhou battlefield commanded millions of yellow scarf soldiers to form [Soul of the Military Way] (Elementary)! The army to which it belongs has a morale + 50%, soldier combat power +50%, special attribute destructive power +5, basic attribute force +5, military personnel with a military system above the team rate, a random military strategy specialty is promoted to master level, and a special sheng flag under his command. A certain gain +50%!”
"..."
"..."
Zhang Man became a million Yellow Turban soldiers, and now Bocai also has a million Yellow Turban soldiers. In Yuzhou, two giant crocodiles appeared!
After hearing these three system announcements, Lin Mu's face showed neither joy nor sadness.
"Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng inspired the soul of the military. In addition to showing that they are determined to defeat the Han army, it also means that the Yellow Turbans have officially declined from their peak." Lin Mu secretly thought.
Only five or six people in the Yellow Turban Army can inspire this military spirit. After Cheng Yuanzhi inspired him, it disappeared. After Zhang Bao was inspired, he was gone. Zhang Mancheng has only activated his power now, and it’s hard to say whether something will happen or not.
However, in the Han camp, none of the three people who could activate the soul of martial arts did so. This is the gap!
"Buzzing!!!" At this time, a slight earthquake shook the earth.
somebody is coming! There are quite a few! Lin Mu sensed it immediately.
At this time, outside the camp, the soldiers from the Dahuang Territory also put on armor and stood ready.
"Da da!" Soon, a clear sound of horse hoofbeats came, and a ranger holding a sheng flag rushed over.
When Lin Mu saw the words on the Sheng flag, his expression changed slightly.
