As night gradually fell, He Yi did not choose to attack the city in the end. Although He Man had already cut wood and made a batch of siege ladders, He Yi still felt that the preparation was not sufficient at the moment. He was preparing to rest for a night and then start siege early tomorrow morning.

During the day, He Man and his men robbed Ruyin in a radius of hundreds of miles, but the food and grass they obtained were limited. The result was that around Ruyin, including several cities, a large number of people began to flee with their families. It was originally a prosperous place, but now it has turned into ruins. I am afraid that it will not be able to seize grain from the people again.

But this little food and grass is only enough for the army to spend three or five days. For the first time, He Yi felt that it was not a good thing to have too many people.

Compared to He Yi, Ye Zhao was much more relaxed after the nightfall. After nightfall, his vision was blocked. Ye Zhao ordered people to carry torches and walk back and forth on the city wall, making a strict defense. The soldiers in the front row were also replaced by straw men. After arranging defense, Ye Zhao returned to the county government to rest with some fatigue.

He did not launch an attack during the day, which shows that He Yi was already scared by himself. With the level of the Yellow Turban Army, the probability of attacking at night would be even smaller. Ye Zhao must take this opportunity to take a break. The next three days will be the key. During the day, he must keep an eye on the enemy's actions at any time to make the most correct judgment.

The night sky was noisy, and the lights spread out around the city as the center. There was no rule spreading over the surrounding wilderness. The Yellow Turban Army pulled a cart and distributed food to the soldiers who had been there for a day. There was not much food, so there was still some use. When it was distributed to everyone, it was not enough for an adult and strong man to eat.

After eating here, the Yellow Turban Army slipped to the other side and continued to wait. In the dark night, quarrels could be heard from time to time. Many people with extremely hungry and irritable tempers began to attack directly, making the quiet night no longer calm.

He Yi sat in the temporary camp, and from time to time he could hear the shouts and fights from outside. He grabbed the meat from the pottery jar and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it hard.

Beside him, He Man and several other main generals sat cross-legged beside He Yi, eating with their heads in silence. Even if they lack food, these people would not be hungry.

"Ship Qu, why don't we attack at night?" A yellow turban general swallowed the food in his mouth. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, he subconsciously spoke, trying to break the heaviness.

"Okay, go." He Yi said without raising his head. It's okay to fight during the day. If you move troops at night, I'm afraid there will be many people who will escape in the chaos. Moreover, there are many government troops in Ruyin City now. If you really fight, He Yi is even more confident.

"But this is not a solution?" He Man leaned against the pillar of the tent and frowned: "It really doesn't work. Let's retreat first. Shouchun is also a big city. Why don't we go there?"

"Shouchun's food and grass have been moved to Ruyin. Even if it goes there, how can we use to support so many people?" He Yi said depressedly. At the beginning, he felt that there were too many wealthy families in Shouchun, and there were many forts around him that could not be defeated. In addition, it was too far away from the main gathering place of the Yellow Turban Army. If there was a situation, it would be difficult to rescue. So he swept the people and abandoned the city after taking the food and grass, allowing Shouchun to abandon it. Now, thinking about it, the decision at that time was really too hasty. I was so tired that if something happened, I would not even have a way out.

"Ship Qu, there are many brothers who don't get any food outside, and they are having trouble!" While the few were sitting together and being speechless, a Yellow Turban general walked in from outside and said with a bitter face.

He Yi was even more troubled when he heard this: "Didn't all the food be distributed? Why didn't there be anyone else send it? Did you deduct it??"

"Sir Qu, how dare we? Many people didn't eat enough and quietly mingled into other teams to eat. Later, everyone rushed to imitate and ate so much. After the first part was divided, the people behind naturally disappeared." The Yellow Turban General said with a wry smile.

"These bastards!" He Yi rubbed his head with some distress, and could not think of any good idea for a while. But if this continues, it is easy to cause a mutiny. After a moment, he said hatefully: "Play some more food, and those who have never eaten together will be distributed separately."

Although it was temporarily solved, he originally planned to eat food for five or six days. If he continued like this, he might not be able to hold on for three days. There might even be refugees around him coming to hear the news. By then, his huge military camp will become a place to serve porridge.

"Surprise the city tomorrow!" After a long time, He Yi finally gritted his teeth and made a decision. If he continues like this, it will only become more and more unfavorable to him. The old problem has not been solved yet, and the new problem has come again. He Yi rarely decisively and said to everyone: "Hurry up and make some siege hammers and ladders, collect the bows and arrows from the generals, find the archers who are good at shooting to form a single army, and suppress the city wall guards tomorrow."

"He Man and others' eyes lit up when they heard this. They had already wanted to fight, but He Yi was timid and had to prepare food. He felt that there were not enough ladders and dragged them all day long.

He was speechless all night. The next morning, when Ye Zhao woke up, he felt refreshed. His physical fitness had been treated with medicine for many years, and his spirit was far beyond ordinary people. He recovered very quickly. He basically recovered in just one night.

"Lord, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city has moved." Just as I was about to eat breakfast, Dian Wei came in with two iron halberds and said to Ye Zhao.

"Oh?" Ye Zhao heard this, put down his food and stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."

May has passed and the weather has begun to become hot. When Ye Zhao brought Dian Wei and others to the city tower, he was seeing ladders in the Yellow Turban Army being continuously carried to the formation, and the atmosphere also felt a little depressed. As a canal coach, He Yi was still some elites in his hands. According to the information Ye Zhao collected during this period, there was an elite force in the Yellow Turban Army called the Yellow Turban Army, with a total of between 20,000 and 30,000. This is Zhang Jiao's efforts over the years and the strongest combat power of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, these Yellow Turban soldiers were not concentrated, but were assigned by Zhang Jiao to various Qu commanders to form troops. The number of Yellow Turban soldiers around each Qu commander is not certain. However, the Yellow Turban soldiers have dozens of Qu commanders, and 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers have to be divided, and some of them must be retained by Zhang Jiao. There should not be many Yellow Turban soldiers around each Qu commander. The so-called elite soldiers are only recruited by various Qu commanders or brought by their own bandits, and then they are expanded out with these people as the main support.

He Yi may not feel anything, but standing on the city wall and looking at the operation of the Yellow Turban Army, Ye Zhao felt like a bloated machine was running hard. Just looking at it, he felt it was difficult. Obviously, as the head coach, He Yi could not command the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and this is a common problem with the Yellow Turban Army. In the past, Liang Fa was like this, so Bo was better, and he also relied on the more generals around him to operate. Although He Yi was also coach Qu, he obviously did not have the ability of Bo Cai. The number of generals under his command was not as good as Bo Cai. Therefore, what appeared in front of Ye Zhao was such a bloated lineup.

It seemed like a fat man covered in fat was struggling to advance. It was only a quarter of an hour after Ye Zhao went to the city that the Yellow Turban Army officially launched the charge.

"Use these straw men to attract the thief army's arrow clusters. The archers are behind, and the shield hands are responsible for protecting the archers in the rear. After the enemy enters half the range, the archers will start attacking again!" After watching the formation of the thief army, Ye Zhao quickly made arrangements. Although the Yellow Turban Army is vulnerable, the number is really here. It is also the most ferocious time for the Yellow Turban Army. As long as this wave is repelled, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army will be blew away, and there is nothing to be afraid of. It is just a bit regretful that he was unable to suppress He Yi for three days. Otherwise, after three days, when the Yellow Turban Army's patience is exhausted, Ye Zhao will take the initiative to attack without him attacking the city. Then it will be a real battle for the wind.

The Yellow Turban Army finally started charging and made a big splash. The momentum of this first wave of attack was still very strong. He Yi had already given these Yellow Turban Army food last night. Today, as long as he could break through the city wall, He Yi had promised that he would let them rob in Ruyin for three days. It is precisely because of this that these Yellow Turban Army were so excited.

Ruyin was able to be He Yi's base before, and most of the rich families in the city were rich families with good friends with the Taiping Cult. He Yi did not allow them to touch these people before, but now that He Yi is ready to give up Ruyin, these rich families will naturally lose their value and no longer be protected by He Yi. It is precisely because of these things that these tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans gathered amazing fighting spirit.

The rain of arrows that broke through the air fell on the top of the city, but the counterattack of the government troops had not yet begun. He Yi, who was commanding the battle, gradually discovered something was wrong. The troops had already rushed to halfway, but the government troops just took it and did not counterattack. And what was the matter with the soldiers on the top of the city? They were obviously full of arrows, but none of them fell down.

At this moment, no matter how stupid He Yi was, he could see the clues. This group of officers and soldiers were simply bluffing, and their strength was not as strong as they showed.

"Roar up and kill me. I will twist the dog official's head with my own hands!" After understanding that he was being played with, even though He Yi was always cautious, he couldn't help but feel a little dry at this moment. He was furious and directly issued the general attack order. The mighty Yellow Turban Army rushed to the city wall like a storm. At the same time, Ye Zhao in the city finally began to fight back.

A gong suddenly rang on the city wall that had been silent, followed by a rain of arrows like dark clouds falling down towards the already slackened Yellow Turban Army.
