As Yuan Shu's order was issued, 40,000 troops officially went to Youzhou City to support.
The cavalry led by Tiefu Tu opened the way in front, and set off towards Youzhou City with a dull sound. However, the sound of the Yellow Turban Army's siege shouts drowned out the sound of the army's advance, providing a good cover for Yuan Shu's army to move forward.
Zhang Jiao: "The first one to get there will get a reward of 10,000 yuan. Upgrade to five levels in a row."
The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were attacking the city heard the generous reward given by Zhang Jiao, and they all attacked the Youzhou city wall desperately.
After all, retreating would lead to death, but as long as they captured Youzhou City. There will be endless glory and wealth, which for them is no different from reaching the sky in one step.
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
Various shouts rang out on the battlefield, and the Yellow Turban Army marched forward to attack the city without fear of death. The purpose is to obtain the reward mentioned by Zhang Jiao and become that person above ten thousand people.
Inside the city, Huangpu Song and Liu Yan were actively commanding the soldiers to defend the city. Even Lu Zhi's lieutenant was attacking the Yellow Turbans with swords on the city wall, hoping to force them back quickly.
A soldier ran over and said, "Report to the general, Lord Prefect."
"It has only been half an hour since the rebels attacked the city, and we have already lost more than 2,000 people."
"It won't be long before Youzhou City can't be defended. I ask you two adults to make a decision as soon as possible."
Youzhou City was surrounded by walls and lost two thousand soldiers in less than half an hour. At this rate, their seven to eight thousand soldiers wouldn't even be able to hold on for three hours.
Moreover, the offensive of these Yellow Turbans is not over yet. Whether they can survive if this continues is a question.
Moreover, after so many days of defending the city. The morale of the soldiers on his side is already very low. They can defend Youzhou City for so long without food or support.
It's already very good.
Huangpu Song: "Master Liu, let those nobles come forward to cover some gaps immediately."
"No matter what, let's wait until tonight. If Youzhou City is destroyed, no one in the city will survive."
Liu Yan: "I will go immediately. If anyone doesn't come, I will kill their family. Anyway, we will die if the Yellow Turban Army breaks the city, so there is no need to worry so much."
In the past, Liu Yan would still be worried. After all, he still wants to take root here, and he doesn't want to push the local nobles too hard.
But now that he can no longer survive, he naturally no longer considers the survival of those nobles.
So Liu Yan immediately led a small group of soldiers to the city to find the nobles. Liu Yan killed those who resisted a little.
Liu Yan: "Let your family master come out immediately."
"Tell them, if they don't let people come out to support on the city wall, it won't be as simple as killing one of your slaves. He will die in the hands of this governor."
"It's better than being killed and humiliated by the Yellow Turban Army. I hope you can think clearly about the pros and cons."
It has to be said that Liu Yan is the prefect after all. For a moment, the aura and majesty emanating from them made these people dare not say a word, and immediately ran back to report to their family master.
After waiting for a while, a man came out and said: "Master Liu, please don't forget. Your Liu family is also one of the noble clans in Youzhou City. Without the support of us people."
"Can you, Liu Yan, remain the prefect for so many years?"
This guy obviously didn't understand the seriousness of the matter and wanted to use this to threaten Liu Yan. It can be said that Liu Yan has not seen the situation clearly at all. How can Liu Yan continue to listen to his nonsense now.
He immediately said to his men: "No one from this family will be left alive."
"All the food will be used as military rations. Let one person send people to receive it and make it immediately for the soldiers guarding the city."
Then, before these people started to resist. Different killings began in the city.
Outside, Huangpu Song looked at the fewer and fewer soldiers on his side. Even if his heart is bleeding, there is nothing he can do if Lu Zhi takes the overall situation into consideration and does not come to support.
So today it is very likely that this is the burial place of Huangpu Song, but Huangpu Song also knows that even Lu Zhi came to support him. That's just a mantis trying to use his arms as a chariot, and he will die in vain.
For a moment, I was very anxious inside.
At this moment, the army led by Yuan Shu and Lu Zhi was less than 500 meters away from these Yellow Turban rebels. But because Yuan Shu and the others did not light torches, the shouts of death were drowned out by the sound of horse hooves.
In such a dark night, no one noticed their arrival. Moreover, at night when the visibility was less than 300 meters, this also allowed Yuan Shu and his army to get closer to the Yellow Turban Army faster.
In the last three hundred meters, Yuan Shu and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu took the lead and led five thousand cavalry to charge in from the rear of the Yellow Turban Army.
Yuan Shu's elite cavalry saw that even if these Yellow Turban troops were discovered, it would be of no avail. Their swords had no effect at all on the horses and soldiers' armor, but instead caused greater panic.
Zhang Fei: "The Yellow Turban rebels, take your lives quickly."
"I am Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide under the command of Yuan Shu, the shepherd of Nanyang Prefecture!"
Zhang Fei, who was wearing white armor, fought his way through, and no yellow scarf army could stop Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang were also not to be outdone, and came up with a set of Spring and Autumn Sword Techniques. Basically, you can take away several Yellow Turban Army thieves at once.
Zhang Jiao cursed loudly from the commanding position: "Surround these people, don't let any of them go."
But when Zhang Jiao had just gathered some people around him, he suddenly found another enemy coming from behind.
I only heard Lu Zhi shouting: "Sons, please follow me to kill."
For a time, Zhang Jiao's 300,000 generals suffered heavy losses and were completely defeated. Some timid people even took advantage of the darkness to disappear on the battlefield. Huangpu Song, who was supervising the battle on the city wall, also asked his soldiers to try to contain the Yellow Turban troops who were attacking the city.
The battlefield became chaotic as a result, and no matter how loud Zhang Jiao shouted, it was of no avail. Only a small part of the Yellow Turban Army still obeyed his command, and the rest fought on their own.
Many of them were quickly killed by the cavalry, and they were unable to fight back in front of the Iron Buddha. The five hundred iron pagodas under Yuan Shu were divided into five squads, harvesting the lives of the Yellow Turban Army like impermanent souls seeking their lives.
When Guan Yu heard Zhang Jiao shouting in the distance and there were so many Yellow Turban protectors around him, he decided that he was the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.
So he galloped forward and said, "Brother of thieves, please take your life quickly!"
Zhang Jiao also saw Guan Yu coming towards him and immediately sent his men to resist.
Zhang Jiao: "Quick, stop this person."
"You guys, come together and kill him."
"Come on, everyone!"
Due to Zhang Jiao's urging and pressure, although these Yellow Turban troops went up bravely, they were still killed on the spot before they could get out of Guan Yu's hands for a single round.
This time, those people were even more frightened and did not dare to step forward to stop Guan Yu.
Zhang Jiao could only hold his weapon and said to Guan Yu: "Hero, you are so brave, why don't you join us?"
"I will give you a position below one person and above ten thousand people. As long as you are willing to help in this world, we can get it at our fingertips."
At this time, Zhang Jiao did not forget to bewitch Guan Yu. He also thought that he was a great and wise master. But how could he listen to his temptation, and now Guan Yu is Yuan Shu's second brother, with a bright future.
There is no need to risk rebellion like him and recruit him. Guan Yu naturally said with disdain: "Guan originally thought that you were just a person who rebelled for the sake of the people of the world."
"But I didn't expect that you are just a rat. If you die under Guan's knife, you will be lucky in this life."
Afterwards, Guan Yu didn't say a word nonsense. He chopped off Zhang Jue's head, and then shouted: "The leader of the thief has been brought to justice, don't you give up resistance soon, don't lose your life in vain."
Huangpu Song was already at Lu Zhi's side and asked: "When did you have such a fierce general under your command? You can take the enemy general's head among all the troops."
"I really envy others."
As the Yellow Turban Army followed Guan Yu's words, those who did not want to resist dropped their weapons one after another. For them, as long as anyone is willing to give them a full meal, then they are willing to follow anyone.
Moreover, there are some Yellow Turbans who were simply frightened out of their courage. They didn't dare to resist at all. Wherever the Iron Buddha Tu passed, those who were not dead from the Yellow Turban Army basically ran away.
After all, how could they withstand a cavalry attack like Tiefu Tu as they were only flesh and blood.
After someone started to take the lead, the Yellow Turban Army also laid down their weapons and stopped resisting.
Lu Zhi took a breath and said, "That's not my general, that's Yuan Zhoumu's general."
"And he's still his sworn brother, so don't worry about it."
Lu Zhi didn't know what his old friend was thinking. So it was better to give up this idea as soon as possible. After all, Lu Zhi also knew that such a person would not be poached by them.
After Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu's shouting, he immediately shouted loudly: "Second brother is mighty, hahaha!"
However, even so, there was not a single Yellow Turban soldier around him. Because everyone who came close was shot to death by him, so naturally there was no one left.
But Yuan Shu was different, acting very calm. It was as if all this was natural and within his expectation.
But at this moment, Liu Yan in the city was in the worst mood. He had just killed several nobles to scare the monkeys, and now when he came out with more than a thousand people to support them, he found that his side had won. He didn't know what to say for a while.
But those members of the noble clan have their own agendas, and no one in each family knows what they are planning.
But Liu Yan did not show any regrets. Instead, he asked these family heads to take these people to join the lineup to clean the battlefield, while he himself went to join Huangpu Song, Lu Zhi, and Yuan Shu.
