Chapter 85 Dumbfounded (9)

When the sky was bright, the flag representing the Yellow Turban Army at the top of the city had been replaced with the Han flag. Standing under the city tower and looking into the distance, they saw soldiers standing on the top of the city. At first glance, they were full of figures.

"How come there are so many people in the official army?" He Yi was shocked when he saw this. He clearly felt that there were not many thieves last night, but why did so many people appear on the city wall overnight?

He Man and others were confused when they heard this. Who knew.

A Yellow Turban general said carefully: "Will that dog official drive the people to the city?"

The Yellow Turban Army did this, so it was the first time that it thought of this possibility.

He Yi frowned and looked at the city. After looking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Look at the soldiers, standing straight one by one, they are definitely not the people."

On the city wall, Ye Zhao held a sword with one hand and led several military marquis to patrol the city wall. At the front of the city wall were a collection of Yellow Turban Army. Although these people were mobs, they could be considered young and strong in the same way. Even if Ye Zhao lacked people, he would never have incorporated the elderly, weak, women and children into the army. He just let these people stand in the military posture and could not reveal any flaws for a while.

After this first row of soldiers, it was much simpler. The straw men were strung into a row with wooden sticks, and then the weapons were inserted, and then carried back and forth by one or two surrendered soldiers. The scene looked a bit funny, but it was far away. In addition, looking from bottom to top, you could only see the heads on the city wall shaking.

"General, is this really OK?" A military marquis looked carefully at the large number of Yellow Turban Army outside the city wall.

"It's okay if you don't." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice: "I've done enough momentum. You have worked hard today. Whether you can calm these Yellow Turban thieves depends on you. It will be simple after dark."

There is no need for a straw man at night, just someone can carry a row of torches back and forth, but during the day, this storefront skill cannot be careless. This is the first day and the most powerful day of the Yellow Turban Army. When today is over, everything will be easy to say.

After all... He Yi left in a hurry, and the food and grass were all in the city. Ye Zhao was really curious now. How did He Yi make this decision? If it were him, he would immediately order the generals to restrain their troops and guard the important areas, and drive the official troops out of the city step by step or gather them to trait them. For this reason, Ye Zhao also sent six teams of troops into the city and occupied the important areas as soon as possible.

Now it seems that the six teams of people who have done nothing but exhausted are surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army because they cannot move and eventually died in a fierce battle. They are also the most depressing group of soldiers who lost 500 soldiers last night. Now it seems that their death is a bit worthless.

Facts have proved that Ye Zhao's previous prudence and caution in fighting the Yellow Turban Army may become a disadvantage that will kill his soldiers at any time. Unfortunately, the right to mobilize military mobilization is not in his hands. If he is in Huangfu Song's position at this moment, he can mobilize elite troops in the court, why fight so hard? With the five Luoyang schools and newly recruited soldiers, not to mention the Yellow Turbans that pacified Yuzhou, it is much better than now.

Of course, if Ye Zhaozhen was sitting in Huangfu Song's position at this moment, Ye Zhao would probably make the same choice as Huangfu Song. After all, military merits will only be valuable if the enemy is strong.

Huangfu Song was able to raise the thief and respect himself, and he was able to gain a lot of benefits for the Huangfu family, but unfortunately he was destroyed by Ye Zhao's fire.

He shook his head and put aside these messy ideas. The soldiers in the army had some time to rest in the past three days. Ye Zhao didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights in a row. During the day, he was rushing with the soldiers, and at night he analyzed the information and made strategic deployments with Dian Wei and others. Basically, Ye Zhao made plans by himself, and then told the generals under his command how to fight. He hoped that Dian Wei would give him advice. Ye Zhao felt it was more reliable to let him charge into battle.

"Don't be depressed!" Ye Zhao saw that everyone was afraid of the enemy's power and frowned: "You are following me all the way to fight, have you ever seen me lose?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but relaxed. Liang Guojun was established by Ye Zhao. Most of these generals had followed Ye Zhao before this, and some even followed Ye Zhao under Ye Zhao's command since Youzhou. Ye Zhao had experienced many wars along the way, but few of them suffered losses.

"Don't worry, even if someone in this world can defeat me, he will never be in this Yellow Turban Army." Seeing that everyone's expressions were relieved a little, Ye Zhao said with a smile.

At least it hasn't appeared yet!

At the end, Ye Zhao added silently in his heart, he never underestimated himself, but he was over the age of being arrogant and arrogant. He had seen too many geniuses fall due to this problem, so even if the combat power of the Yellow Turban Thief now makes Ye Zhao unable to even raise his fighting spirit, Ye Zhao would not make arbitrary assertions about every enemy that appeared, at least until he fully understood it.

Ye Zhao is 70% sure to win in this battle. Of course, the most important thing is that as long as he can scare He Yi today, tomorrow, without food and grass support, He Yi, who has no morale at all, will be greatly reduced, and he will not even need to do anything, and he will be self-defeating.

Of course, if Ye Zhao can be given three days to relieve himself, and if He Yi has not left yet, it will be time for a counterattack. Based on the analysis of He Yi's personality in the information, Ye Zhao feels that this is very likely.

The soldiers were infected by the confidence shown by Ye Zhao, and their minds were much more relaxed. The confidence also appeared on their faces again. They began to urge the soldiers standing in the front row not to show their fear. They also pinched the time. When the time came, they changed another group of people to continue standing in the military posture. For these new recruits, it was also a kind of training.

If you can persist in the momentum of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army under the siege of the army, you can also take it to the battlefield in the future.

Compared to the strange silence on the city, the Yellow Turban Army under the city looks different.

It was already a collapse last night. He Yi finally gathered his troops again. During this period, he didn't know how many people had separated and repelled the 70,000 troops in Ruyin. Now, after roughly calculating, only more than 50,000 people could gather here. Although there was an armed fight last night, the real ones who died of battle were probably not enough, and there were only one or two thousand people who died of trampling on each other. The reduction of personnel was basically the deserters who fled after leaving the city and could not be found. The cohesion of the Yellow Turban Army can also be seen here.

Even if these people stayed, they didn't sleep all night and had not entered the water, and they were not very physically and willful. At this moment, seeing that He Yi was slow to issue an order to attack the city, many generals could not control the situation. Yellow Turban thieves sat on the ground in groups, chatting and spanking, or some simply lay on the ground and sleeping, which was in chaos, making He Yi feel a little restless.

"Ship Qu, will you fight?" He Man approached He Yi and asked in a low voice.

Fuck it!

He Yi looked at the Han soldiers with distinct armor on the city wall with a depressed look on his face. They were in a hurry and had no time to move out the siege equipment in the city. The most embarrassing thing now is that although there are many people, there are no siege equipment. Not to mention heavy weapons such as city hammers and catapults, even basic things such as cloud ladders and bows and arrows are not many.

If you can't even climb the city wall, how can you hit it?

I wanted to withdraw, but when I thought of the previous question, He Yi suddenly thought of another question... I forgot to take the food and grass, or in other words, I didn't have time to transport the food and grass, and the city was already in chaos and there were not many people who could mobilize. He Yi was eager to gather the team again, so he had no time to distract from moving food out.

Originally, he thought that as long as he gathered his troops again, he could break through the city wall and recapture Ruyin at any time, but now facing the Ruyin wall that was as high as two meters high, He Yi suddenly felt at a loss.

Although the city wall is not high, it cannot be reached without a ladder, not to mention that there are a large number of officers and soldiers guarding the city wall.

Before the three armies move, food and grass will come first. Even if He Yi doesn’t understand military affairs, he has heard this sentence. Who will fight with you without food?

"You can take people to the surrounding cities and towns to find some food." After looking at the direction of the city wall, He Yi whispered to He Man: "Send someone else to do some siege ladders, let's do it in the afternoon."

No matter what, first solve the food problem, and then decide to stay or leave depending on the situation.

"Grain?" He Man looked at Ding Yi with some embarrassment: "But haven't you searched for a while before? Now the spring plowing has just been completed, which one has surplus grain?"

Among the many Yellow Turban thieves, He Yi is still a relatively kind person. Although he gathered a lot of food after occupying Ruyin, the people nearby would still leave a bite of food to avoid starving to death. Compared with those Yellow Turban generals who only know how to loot and like locusts passing through the border, He Yi attaches more importance to the people, and therefore He Man is confused.

"I can't care about that much!" He Yi's face turned a little mute after hearing this, and whispered: "Even if you rob me, I'll snatch it, otherwise we have so many people and no food, we will have to disperse today!"

"Yes!" He Man also noticed the seriousness of the problem, nodded fiercely when he heard this, and found several close generals to him, and brought a group of people away.

He Yi's benevolence and righteousness were actually the same as the bandits in the past. Rabbits did not eat grass beside their nests. He Yi did not want to break this rule unless he had no choice, because he had tasted the benefits before. On weekdays, he would not only not rob the people around him, but also help him if he had the conditions. Later, the officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed him. It was precisely because the people were informed that they did not encircle and suppress them, but they were even surrounded and suppressed by him in the end. So even now he became a general of Qu, He Yi still followed this theory.
