Look at the bandit soldiers like locusts.

Slowly disappear from the eyes.

It retreated across the moat like a cloud.

Everyone in the city could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally a truce!
The fight lasted for more than two hours from noon to evening.

Cao Jun's soldiers were really on the verge of collapse, and many of them were hanging on their breath.

Now the breath is out.

Immediately, a large area lay down on the city wall.

He didn't care about the mess and even the blood stains all over the floor, so he just lay down on the ground like this.

Most people's arms are trembling at this moment, as if the limbs no longer belong to them.

Even after some people lay down on the ground, they couldn't control themselves, and fell asleep in just a few breaths, snoring intermittently.

Li Gou is also one of them.

Now curled up against the wall.

He fell asleep in a daze, even with a smile on his face, as if he was counting in his sleep how much reward he could get after the battle ended.

……

Cao Ang came down from the tower.

Carefully avoid the soldiers lying on the ground.

These brave and fearless soldiers are the greatest heroes in this battle. If there were no these people who guarded the city bravely, Cao Ang's two arrows would definitely not be enough to reverse the situation.

So even if these soldiers are lying upside down.

Cao Ang also avoided it as much as possible.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Cao Chun rushed to him first.

After cupping his hands and cupping his fists, he said with some excitement.

"General!"

"The two arrows just now are really amazing. They are really like the arrows of heaven and man, and they will be admired by the five bodies!"

"If the general hadn't taken action and allowed the enemy to attack again, I'm afraid they will climb to the top of the city and fight hand-to-hand with our army!"

Once the battle is dragged to hand-to-hand combat.

That is the great disadvantage of the defenders.

After all, Cao's army is small, relying on the high walls and deep walls, he can still fight the enemy.

If the line of defense is broken through, there is really no way to fight.

Therefore, Cao Chun's praise is not wrong.

It's just that Cao Ang heard this.

He just smiled and waved his hands.

"The enemy general was negligent and greedy for meritorious deeds, which gave me a chance."

"It's just that it's not time to relax yet. The enemy army is just withdrawing their troops for the time being. After they regain their morale, they will definitely make a comeback."

"At that time, there should be no more opportunities like now, and we still have to fight with real swords and guns."

Cao Chun nodded.

The look of excitement on his face faded away.

Instead, he fell silent.

How could he not know what Cao Ang said?
The situation is not optimistic after all.

Right now, it can only be said that he has won a very precious but not long rest time for his own side.

……

The two waited and watched for a while at the top of the city.

Cao Ang patted the crenels of the city wall.

Then he asked Cao Chun: "Zihe, we don't have much time, we should hurry up and make some preparations."

"You take the brothers who still have the strength to move, and collect them from the top of the city. If there are wounded, drag them back to the city to be healed."

"Send someone to the city to see if there is anything that can be used, like hot oil, we don't have much right now."

"There are also weapons such as bows and arrows, spears, etc. If they are damaged, they should be replaced quickly."

Cao Chun bowed his hand and said yes.

When he was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly remembered something.

Pointing to the bottom of the city wall, the corpses of the enemies were piled up, and the moat was blocked to the point of being impassable. The remaining river water was already stained red with blood. It was a tragic scene like purgatory on earth.

Then he asked Cao Ang for instructions.

"General, should we send a team out to clean up the battlefield near us and burn all these dead bodies?"

"One is to prevent the hot weather from causing diseases, and the other is to facilitate our army's subsequent defense of the city."

Hear this.

Cao Ang thought for a while first.

But soon shook his head resolutely.

"Let's wait until nightfall to do this."

"What we are facing is not a moral enemy, but a group of bandits, bandits, refugees, and refugees. They have no discipline or morality."

"Now we dare to open the city gate and go out to clean the battlefield, and they dare to rush over in the chaos."

"Just to be on the safe side, we'll talk about it when it gets dark."

Cao Chun stopped talking too much.

After taking the order, he left quickly.

…………

Cao Ang lay on the crenel.

His brows were furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

The situation is a bit too bad!

Even beyond his imagination.

Cao Ang originally thought that if the battle went well, he might be able to fight back.

The reason why he came with a thousand cavalry.

With such a purpose in mind.

However, at this moment, Cao Ang realized that he was wrong and underestimated the strength of the enemy.

Although there were countless kills in the melee, Cao Ang felt that the enemy had at least [-] troops, which was more than ten times that of his side.

He seriously suspected that Juancheng, which Xia Houyuan was guarding, had no enemies at all at this time, and the two troops merged into one, all in front of him.

What a ghost!

At this time, it might be too late to send a fast horse to Juancheng.

Unless Xia Houyuan relied on his own battlefield acumen, he could have a ray of inspiration, and lead his troops to his side like a god's help.

Otherwise, the defenders of Juancheng can't count on it.

Ugh!
Cavalry, oh cavalry.

It's useless!

If I had known earlier, I would have just brought [-] pawns honestly. There are more than a thousand more people defending the city, and the pressure is not so great.

thought here.

Cao Ang couldn't help looking into the distance.

Looking at the flag flying in the enemy's formation, the word "Zhang" was written on the khaki flag.

I don't know which of the yellow turban thieves is handsome.

If it was this guy who was shot to death with an arrow just now, I am afraid that the crisis has been resolved by now.

Just as Cao Ang was in a trance.

Suddenly he noticed something.

The enemy's flag fluttered in the direction that seemed to be due north, and was affected by the wind, so it didn't even come down for a moment.

"Shh!"

Cao Ang turned his head in a daze.

I saw Linqiu County upstairs.

The big flag embroidered with the word "Cao" was also fluttering in the wind due north.

It's approaching evening.

The south wind is blowing!

And it's very windy!
…………

"quick!"

"Go and ask General Cao Chun to come here!"

After Cao Ang shouted loudly, several soldiers immediately ran out quickly.

Not long after.

Cao Chun rushed over in a hurry.

"General, the end is coming!"

Cao Ang nodded, and before he could greet so much, he grabbed Cao Chun's arm with one hand.

Then he spoke quickly and said to him: "I have thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy, so hurry up and do as I say!"

"Now stop everything at hand and collect firewood from every household in the city, as much as you want, and pile them in a row on the top of the city."

"Prepare some things that can be ignited, such as wine and oil, and things like rags, as many as you want, and move them all to the top of the city!"

"You order people to do these things, and you will immediately go to the cavalry camp to mobilize the cavalry, and prepare to open the east and west doors and let the cavalry out!"

The moment Cao Ang said that there was a strategy to defeat the enemy, Cao Chun couldn't help but jump in his heart.

For all the magic of his own general.

Cao Chun already knew it well.

Especially the arrow just now, which was like a god descending to earth, made Cao Chun amazed even more.

Therefore, General Cao now says that he has a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Cao Chun didn't need to listen, he believed half of it.

And after writing down the various arrangements that will follow, Cao Chun has a faint feeling that General Cao Ang has come up with a strategy.

I'm afraid it will be of great use!
After confirming that there are no other orders.

Without saying a word, Cao Chun led some soldiers and almost rushed towards the top of the city.

While running, he issued orders to those around him.

At the same time, the soldiers who had not been asleep for a long time on the top of the wall were called up one after another.

Not long after.

The whole city was mobilized.

……

"Clap!"

A large bundle of firewood was piled up in front of Cao Ang, already reaching a certain height.

And a firewood pile like this one.

The entire northern city wall is lined up, almost across the east and west sides.

Besides.

There are also a large number of igniters and flammable items, which are also divided into small piles.

See after these preparations are almost done.

Cao Ang immediately ordered people to light all these things, and the extra wine and oil were all poured down the city.

There was already a dead body lying on the ground below.

These corpses are all wearing cloth items, and as long as they are ignited, they can be ignited quickly.

"boom!"

Under Cao Ang's order.

With a bang, with the assistance of igniters and combustibles, the pyre on the top of the city suddenly burst into blazing flames.

Together with the pile of corpses below.

It is also slowly burning.

soon.

The act of burning brought up bursts of smoke.

The firewood piles lined up from east to west were filled with overwhelming smoke.

Under the blowing of strong south wind.

In an instant, he rushed to the north.

Not long after, the thick smoke had already covered the entire battlefield.

And under the blessing of the continuous smoke from the rear, it continued to advance north.

The wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind.

The fire itself is not important.

However, the dense smoke produced by the fire is an extremely powerful killer, which can make people unable to open their eyes, and even dare not take a big breath, otherwise they will feel extremely uncomfortable after being inhaled into the nasal cavity.

……

See this smoky effect.

Very much in line with my expectations.

Cao Ang nodded in satisfaction.

Without wasting time, he turned his head and said to Lin Shao, the county magistrate of Linqiu County, "Magistrate Lin, after I lead the army out of the city later, you stand in this position and immediately order Everyone, shout as I taught you before!"

"When you see a change in the situation on the battlefield, you immediately open the city gate and lead your troops out to respond!"

Lin Shao nodded hurriedly.

"Don't worry, general, I will never make any mistakes, and I will definitely follow your orders!"

"However, since the general is going out of the city, please be careful not to fall into danger!"

Cao Ang smiled.

After accepting the county magistrate's kindness.

Taking Dian Wei with him, he rushed down to the top of the city.

Not long after.

The west gate of Linqiu County opened quietly, and a large number of cavalry leaped out from the suspension bridge.

The leaders are Cao Ang and Cao Chun.

"A Dian, what effect you can achieve later, it all depends on you!"

"Zihe, the momentum is the main priority, and the killing of the enemy is second. The louder the noise, the better!"

Both of them knew the importance of this matter.

It can be said that the next action is related to whether Linqiu County can hold on, so I dare not slack off in the slightest.

They all responded in a low voice.

Very serious expression of obedience.

"In that case, let's go!"

Under the leadership of Cao Ang, a thousand cavalry marched mightily towards Beicheng.

……

And at this moment, the Yellow Turban Army is in the position.

Several generals looked at it like a fairyland, surrounded by clouds and mist, but it seemed to hide the murderous scene.

Can't help but feel a little uneasy.

And Zhang Rao, as the coach, had an ominous premonition in his heart at this moment.

What do you want to do at this time of lighting the fire and making smoke?
Could it be that the defenders in the city are planning to cover their sight, and then take advantage of the opportunity to lead their troops out of the city, making a desperate attempt to fight them to the death?
It shouldn't be so outrageous.

If you can't defend the city if you defend it according to the city, wouldn't it be faster to die if you take the initiative to leave the city?
Is it possible to think that with this little trick, it is enough to affect their combat effectiveness?

But for this.

Hmm... Zhang Rao didn't understand for a while.

But this did not prevent him from being vigilant.

The enemy always has a purpose in doing this, no matter how defensive they are, it is beneficial and harmless.

thought here.

Zhang Rao hastened to order the generals on the left and right and the messengers: "Send me an order to ask the soldiers in the battalion to cover their mouths and noses and lower their heads to avoid the smoke."

"At the same time, pay attention to vigilance, take the weapons in your hands, and unite with me. It is best to surround them in groups, in case the enemy takes advantage of this time to attack."

……

The soldiers in the army followed his orders.

Start changing formations.

And when using weapons to alert the outside world.

Suddenly and vaguely.

Everyone seemed to hear someone shouting something from the top of the city, but they couldn't hear clearly at first.

But after the shouting sound was uniform.

Everyone heard it!

"Our reinforcements are here, the general came to rescue us with [-] cavalry!"

Just a word.

Shouting repeatedly, the sound pierced the clouds and cracked the stones.

Even Cao Ang himself didn't know who the general was, and he didn't have ten thousand cavalry at all.

But it was in the ears of the Yellow Turban Bandit Soldiers.

That would be like a bolt from the blue!

The formation, which was originally considered stable, became a little disorganized in an instant.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, almost at the same time they heard the news, panicked and became timid subconsciously. They all resisted the urge to run away and forced themselves to stand still.

After Zhang Rao heard such a shout.

First, there was a "thud" in my heart, and cold sweat immediately broke out on my forehead.

As a person who had faced Gongsun Zan, he really knew the result of cavalry fighting infantry.

massacre!

One-sided crushing and massacre!

With 30 Youyan cavalry, Gongsun Zan was able to beat the crap out of their [-]-strong army, beheading enemies and capturing countless prisoners.

And right now, if there is a cavalry team of tens of thousands of people.

Then there is really no need to fight.

Just wipe your neck with the sword.

But after reacting.

Zhang Rao calmed down again.

"Why panic, let the soldiers not be afraid!"

"It's just a small county town. Where did you get [-] cavalry?"

It's just that he hasn't finished talking.

The situation on the battlefield changed again.

……

"Boom!"

There was the sound of trampling horseshoes that shook the ground.

From far to near like thunder.

As if holding a big bone hammer, it struck violently on the hearts of everyone in the Yellow Turban Army, as if to shatter their internal organs.

"Cavalry! There really are cavalry!"

Even the chief general was flustered by it, his face was pale, and his hands were trembling faintly.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers? !

And what's more terrible.

Can't see at all right now!

The overwhelming white smoke, or the thick smoke from the fire, made people afraid to open their eyes.

Even some people endured the burning pain, opened their eyes wide, and looked in the direction of the sound.

You will only find that it is indeed a galloping horse.

At the same time, there was a large amount of dust kicked up by the horseshoes.

Looking forward to its momentum.

It really seemed that tens of thousands of cavalry roared over!

The vibration of the ground is getting stronger and stronger.

The psychological defense line of the Yellow Turban Army is getting closer and closer to collapse, and I am afraid that it will be broken gently after another wave.
