The news of the resurrection of the Bai Bo army emerged, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various places immediately became active.

In addition to Zhang Yan, who nominally surrendered to the court, bandits from all over the country began to take action.

The head of the Yellow Turban Leader Zuo Jiao, who has been operating in Zhongshan Kingdom and Changshan County for many years, soon launched troops down the mountain and robbed everywhere.

What they want is naturally not to follow Zhang Jiao's footsteps, but simply to make money and food.

With so many people hiding in the hamlet, daily consumption is a huge expense. Taking advantage of the current attention of the imperial court, it is a serious matter to rob the Bai Bo army.

There are only seven or eight thousand people in the Zuo School, of which less than half are young and strong.

They did not dare to attack Changshan County, so they put their ideas on the county town below.

The garrisons in Zhending County had been transferred to the foot of Taihang Mountain before, guarding against Zhang Yan going down the mountain. Now only the newly recruited rebels and the slaves of the powerful.

The root cause of the collapse of the Han Dynasty was the powerful people from all over the world who officially took the stage during the Guangwu Emperor era.

These powerful people were big landlords, holding countless domestic slaves, occupying a large amount of land through various means. They even formed caravans to start doing business, thus earning a lot of money.

Why did Yuan Shao, who was the so-called four generations and three dukes, unified the north of the Yellow River? It was the powerful people from all over the north who supported him.

When Cao Cao started his business, the Cao family and Xiahou family they relied on were also top local tyrants.

Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others who helped Liu Bei raise him several times were also powerful.

Even the root cause of the Yellow Turban chaos lies in the fact that there are too many powerful people in various places, annexing the land and arresting the people as serfs, forcing the people to survive.

Since Liu Xiu took power with the help of the powerful, the powerful have become increasingly powerful until it cannot be controlled.

Zhending County is not big, and only a few powerful people have built forts. Most of them have contact with the giant bandits, and the Yellow Turban thieves basically won't go to find them.

The other little powerful men hid in the county town.

"Mr. County lieutenant." Wang Xiao bowed and bowed on the city wall. "The bandits outside the city have just arrived, and the camps are not built, and their defenses are lax. If you take the opportunity to go out of the city and kill them, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."

The Yellow Turban Thieves, once known as one million, were destroyed by the Han army within a few months. The root cause is that they were just a mob and were completely at a disadvantage in fighting the elite Han army.

In Wang Xiao's view, the Yellow Turban Army, the left school army outside the city, had the combat effectiveness of the combatants in the late Ming Dynasty.

The camp outside was not fully built, and there were no trenches and horse-resisting things. The tents were even more chaotic, and there were people making fires beside them.

The people in the military camp were also extremely scattered, with broken weapons and armor thrown everywhere.

Such a so-called camp, Wang Xiao led hundreds of people to defeat them with one charge.

"Don't underestimate the enemy."

The serious-looking county magistrate waved his hands repeatedly, "The enemy is numerous and we are few, so we should focus on defending the city at this moment."

Wang Xiao curled his lips secretly, but bowed his hands in his hand, "What the county magistrate said is so reckless."

The county magistrate with a beautiful beard was satisfied with the stroke of his beard. "The county is thin, so how can he easily abandon the city and fight. At this moment, he should focus on guarding the city tightly."

The county magistrate said that there were few soldiers, but in fact, it was not small.

There are more than a thousand rebels recently recruited, and hundreds of sons-in-law launched in the city were also launched. In addition, the slaves brought by many powerful men who flocked to the city were not much worse than those of the young and strong men of the Yellow Turban thieves outside the city.

After all, I just don't want to take responsibility.

As a county magistrate, it is a responsibility to guard the territory. But this territory only refers to this county town.

As long as you can defend the county town, you will be successful. If the county town is lost, you will lose your head.

In this case, there are obviously a city wall several meters high to be stationed, so the county magistrate is of course unwilling to leave the city.

"I'm here to learn." Wang Xiao nodded seriously. After a while, he asked softly, "What if the bandits outside the city plunder the fourth field?"

The county magistrate didn't say anything, but he could tell from his expression that he didn't care about the villages outside.

His responsibility is only in the county town.

Wang Xiao looked at the rebels around him and could clearly feel an anxious atmosphere gathering.

These rebels all came from the Siye Village. Seeing that their home was about to be robbed, it was inevitable that their morale would be depressed.

In a few days, even a mutiny will come out.

After looking at the county magistrate, Wang Xiao shook his head slightly.

"Your talent is not qualified to be a county lieutenant."

As Wang Xiao thought, a few days later, the recruited rebels in the county began to clamor.

After all, their home may be robbed, and no one would have been able to bear it.

The people brought by Wang Xiao were in danger for only half a day away from the county town. He spent a lot of energy to temporarily calm down.

But this is not enough. Wang Xiao is planning to persuade the county magistrate tomorrow. If he still can't speak, he can only go to find the county magistrate who has been hiding in the yamen and has not shown up.

The magistrate is timid and afraid of death, and this is the weakness. Since there are weaknesses, it is easy to break.

The only difference lies in what method to use.

But the next day, the Yellow Turban thieves outside the city helped Wang Xiao.

These Yellow Turban thieves actually came to attack the county town.

Perhaps they felt that there was a lot of supplies in the county town, perhaps they felt that the more garrison troops who had been stationed before were not there, or perhaps they felt that capturing the county town could increase prestige and win over more people to join. Perhaps they felt that they had a large population and could fill in the county town.

Anyway, these people actually came to attack the county town.

The morale of the defenders immediately increased. They knew what the outcome would be if the city was broken.

After ten thousand people, there was no boundary and no edge.

Although the Zuo School’s headquarters has only seven or eight thousand people, it is still a large area of ​​blackness when placed outside the city, which is enough to bring deep pressure to people.

Wang Xiao stood calmly on the city gate tower, silently watching the guards shooting arrows around him, throwing stones and rolling wood, and pouring hot golden juice under the city.

He stood coldly on the city gate tower, casually heading to avoid the sharp arrows shooting at him, and coldly watched the cannon fodders carrying simple wooden ladders rushing to the city.

He has seen too much of the cruelty of war. Even if there are many lives that disappear before his eyes, it is difficult to shake his mind.

He did not take action personally because he knew that although the walls of Zhending County were not high, they were not easily broken by those Yellow Turban thieves carrying simple wooden ladders.

Wang Xiao is waiting for a moment that can be fatal to one blow.

The battlefield seems a bit cruel, but in fact, from Wang Xiao's perspective, it is actually a bit messy.

The defenders were in chaos and only knew how to throw things down desperately.

The cannon fodder that sieges the city is chaotic, and you only know how to rush up the city with a shout.

The so-called siege battle is actually just a bad comparison between the two sides.

The interweaving of light and shadow, the fusion of blood and fire.

None of this affected Wang Xiao, and his eyes fell far away in the Yellow Turban Fortress in the distance.

There were more than a dozen horse riding horses. The only one with the head was covered with yellow turbans and armor. His target was his goal.

Left School, the leader of the Yellow Turban thieves.

The Yellow Turban Thief's siege routine is very simple and practical. It is to use a large amount of cannon fodder to rush the city and consume arrows and other defending equipment.

When all the equipment to defend the city is consumed, then invest in the elite rush to the city.

As long as you can go into the city, what can the cannon fodders lose all their losses?

With money and food, how many people can't attract them?

He had already sent someone to sneak in to inquire about the situation in Zhending County.

The county soldiers who were originally stationed were transferred to guard against Zhang Yan, but now there are only some newly recruited rebels and powerful slaves in the city, all of whom are vulnerable.

As long as they can attack the city, they will collapse immediately.

It will be easy to take down the county town and then sweep the fourth field.

This trip is really sure to come, and it will definitely be a great harvest.

The guarding equipment on the city was finally eliminated, and the cannon fodders with heavy casualties retreated one after another, and the real young and strong Yellow Turban began to appear.

Of course, because of the lack of technology, the siege equipment they used was no different from before. They were still ladders and other things.

There are nothing like siege towers, rushing cars, skinned shield cars, flying bridges, cloud ladders, etc., but they still carry wooden ladders to rush to the city.

However, although the walls of Zhending County are not very high, they are roughly enough.

Because they only face a mob, not a real elite of war.

The imperial troupe under Zhao Kuangyin's command had done the bravery of using weapons to penetrate the gaps between the city walls and ants attacking the city.

Wang Xiao finally got out of the situation, holding a spear and stabbing a large area of ​​city walls with a bucket on the left and right.

Anyone who has brave men climbs the city wall will be killed by Wang Xiao no matter who they are.

He even used a spear to overturn a wooden ladder.

The defenders' brave resistance brought huge damage to the Yellow Turban Army. After all, the defense still had a greater advantage when siegeing the city.

Although the city wall of Zhending County is only a few meters high, it is also a city wall.

With four times the strength of ordinary people and five times the physical fitness of ordinary people, Wang Xiao was dancing with a spear and splashing water, covering a large area.
