At this time, above the north gate of Huyang County City. Li Jun stared into the distance and saw a wave of men and horses wearing yellow scarves approaching quickly. His expression suddenly changed and he said: "Yellow scarf thieves!"
Moreover, this wave of people is densely packed, with more than ten thousand people, and there are many powerful auras among them. It is obvious that there is no shortage of innate and martial-level experts. However, he only has a thousand ordinary county soldiers with little training under his command, and they cannot resist for long. He hurriedly ordered his subordinates, "Notify the prefect immediately!"
Li Jun was not a complete loser. He knew that at this time, he could only ask the prefect to come forward and contact the wealthy families in the county, so that they could send out their private soldiers to defend the county. As for Ling Feng's two thousand county soldiers outside the city, he did not think that they could survive the Yellow Turban Army's powerful offensive.
The Yellow Turban Army was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they cut down trees nearby and seemed to be preparing to forge siege equipment on the spot.
Half an hour later, the Sheriff's Mansion.
The heads of the Han family, the Li family, the Sun family and other aristocratic families gathered here one after another.
Prefect Xue Chenggang glanced at everyone and said coldly: "The current situation is clear to everyone. If anyone is hiding something, once the war goes unfavorable and the city is destroyed, the Yellow Turban thieves will not reason with you like me, and will definitely kill you." All property was plundered.”
Li Wenxun, the head of the Li family, said: "Please rest assured, Grand Administrator, my Li family is willing to fully support the city defense, and the hundred servants in the family are willing to be driven by you."
They say they are servants, but they are actually private soldiers.
Immediately, the heads of the big aristocratic families such as the Han family and the Sun family each provided a hundred troops. Together with many small aristocratic families and wealthy families, twenty or thirty people per family, they quickly gathered another thousand troops to help garrison the city wall. Coupled with the help of the troops from the Sheriff's Mansion and Liumenmen, the Yellow Turban thieves tried several times to attack, but were repelled.
However, at night, Taiping Dao believers in the city suddenly broke out and opened the east city gate during the night to welcome the Yellow Turban Army into the city.
After a while, the sound of fighting resounded in the city. The defenders in the city were retreating steadily, and all the major aristocratic families fled in panic with their belongings.
Seeing this, Xue Chenggang, the prefect, knew that the situation was over. Even if he was a martial arts master, he could not save it, so he led a group of people to leave, but suddenly found a middle-aged man in yellow shirt holding a big sword.
He instinctively felt the threat and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
"Kill your people!"
After the middle-aged man in yellow shirt finished speaking, he suddenly slashed with his sword.
Xue Chenggang also suddenly drew his sword, but was a step too late. A blast of Xuanyin sword energy cut his body in half.
A smile appeared on Ling Feng's lips. Xue Chenggang must die, otherwise the court may let him control his military power. Now that this man is dead, he is the highest officer in Huyang County and can send troops to suppress the bandits. Immediately, his figure flashed and left quickly.
After a while, the defenders in the city were completely defeated, and the Yellow Turban thieves burned, killed and looted everywhere.
At this time, Ling Feng suddenly led his troops back from the North City Gate. At this time, the thieves had not yet attacked the North City Gate, but Li Jun had already escaped with his soldiers. So many states and counties were lost, and these rats were one of the reasons. .
But Ling Feng didn't care. He led two thousand elite soldiers to attack the city. He was unstoppable and invincible along the way.
Although there are tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, most of them are ordinary farmers, and their weapons are patchworked here and there. However, Ling Feng's two thousand elite soldiers are all above the level of warriors and have sharp weapons. Naturally, one can fight ten of these ordinary Yellow Turban thieves. . In addition, under the cultivation of Ling Feng's true essence seeds and true essence seeds, there are more than a dozen innate masters under his command, and there are thirty or forty ordinary innate masters, far better than the Yellow Turban Thief.
After a while, three martial arts master-level Yellow Turbans mobilized their masters to stop him. Moreover, one of these three powerful masters is a late-stage master, so his strength is naturally extremely strong. There are also many other innate masters.
However, Ling Feng suddenly slashed with his sword, and the golden sword light flashed. A strong master had been split in half by a golden sword energy, and blood spattered.
It's not that the master of the Yellow Turban Army is too powerful, but that Ling Feng is too strong. He has pushed the Ling family's domineering sword skills to the unprecedented realm of King Wu, and the sword energy contains a hint of the sharpness and mystery of Geng Jin's law.
The expressions of the other two yellow scarf generals changed greatly, but their movements did not hesitate at all. They slashed at Ling Feng with their swords. Two astonishing yellow sword auras struck Ling Feng, and immediately passed through Ling Feng's body, only to find that the latter It turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
Ling Feng's movement was so fast that he appeared in front of a yellow turban general in an instant. Before the man could resist, he had already beheaded him with a knife.
At this time, only the Yellow Turban general who was a late Grandmaster was left. However, he immediately turned around and retreated without hesitation. The force value displayed by Ling Feng was really terrifying and could never be matched by him.
However, how could Ling Feng let him escape? He suddenly threw out the golden knife in his hand.
Sensing the crisis behind him, the Yellow Turban general suddenly turned around and was about to swipe his sword to repel the golden sword.
At this time, a sharp Gengjin sword intent erupted from the golden sword. The spirit of the Yellow Turban general was cut by the sword intent, and his movements were sluggish. He was immediately stabbed into the throat by the golden elixir and fell to the ground dead!
The generals were killed one after another, and the Yellow Turban Army was disheartened. Even if a few loyal Taiping Taoists wanted to gather forces to resist, they were unable to do so.
At this time, Ling Feng's figure flashed and he suddenly stamped his feet among the Yellow Turban Army. A terrifying shock wave spread and a large area fell around him. Ling Feng shouted: "Surrender and avoid death, those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Ling Feng's voice spread throughout half of the county in an instant, and with a hint of dragon power, it completely shattered the Yellow Turban Army's resistance.
The Yellow Turban soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
At this point, a Yellow Turban chaos was put down, and even the large number of Taiping Tao believers hidden in the city were taken advantage of. If they hadn't jumped out to welcome the Yellow Turban Army into the city, it would have been difficult for Ling Feng to find them, and they might have been a hidden danger in the future.
Immediately, Ling Feng counted the battle losses and found that only dozens of people were killed or injured.
Ling Feng cared for the dead, treated the wounded, and then counted the prisoners of war. There were more than 5,000 people, nearly twice as many as Ling Feng's total strength.
Ling Feng selected more than a thousand elites to join the army, completing the establishment of 3,000. Two thousand strong men were selected from the other four thousand to form auxiliary troops to assist in defense. Another two thousand are responsible for work, repairing the city wall defenses, preparing rolling stones, radium wood, kerosene, etc.
The Yellow Turbans are so powerful that they cannot abandon the city just because of one failure.
Immediately, Ling Feng began to collect food in the city and actively prepare for war. In this regard, even the landlords and gentry in the city actively cooperated and contributed money and efforts. Because they have seen the horror of the Yellow Turban with their own eyes and do not want to encounter it again.
After this battle, Ling Feng also understood that the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army was basically a master, and it would be difficult for him alone to defend Huyang County. Therefore, he summoned Wei Yang and six other close subordinates Li Shen, Wu Wei, Gan Xin, Zhang De, Liu Ming, and Bai Shu at the governor's mansion.
After these two months, their cultivation has become stable and can be improved again. Ling Feng transformed the mana attributes and upgraded their cultivation levels to the early stage of Grandmaster, and then gave each of them a fifth-level skill (Grandmaster Chapter) and a fourth-level magic weapon. These fourth-order magic weapons were refined by Ling Feng using black iron in his spare time in the past two months. They were only fourth-order mid-grade weapons, but they were stronger than the rags of the Yellow Turban Thief General, and they were enough for the time being.
