Chapter 16: Conquering Jiangdu County

Li Gang, the magistrate of Jiangdu County, was riding on his horse, watching the Yellow Turban Army running farther and farther away.

He also heard that the local gentry jointly requested him to return to defend the city immediately.

I felt very unwilling.

I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

He was puzzled.

Aren’t the Yellow Turban Army short of food? Why are they acting like happy rabbits?

Running so fast.

Just this physique and physical strength.

Even the imperial guards of the Han Dynasty were far inferior to them!

They all seemed to be full of energy.

He ran forward so fast that he couldn't catch up with him even on horseback.

but.

He couldn't just ignore the riots in Jiangdu County.

If the gentry's mansion was really looted by ruffians.

The gentry jointly appealed to the court, so he could not even think of fighting for the position of prefect of Jiangyin.

He might even lose his official position as the Jiangdu County Magistrate.

"Hey!"

"It's not my time!"

Li Gang looked up to the sky and sighed, his voice full of unwillingness.

He turned his horse around and led his soldiers back to defend Jiangdu County and suppress the riots.

It only takes half a day.

Jiangdu County, which was originally in chaos, was in chaos when Li Gang returned to defend.

I calmed down immediately.

Here, Li Gang had not yet had time to clear out the Yellow Turban spies in the county.

The Yellow Turban Army, who had just escaped, was now challenging another enemy outside the city.

This time Li Gang learned a lesson.

Two thousand infantrymen were left behind to maintain order in Jiangdu County.

He personally led 200 cavalry and 800 infantry to engage in battle with the Yellow Turban Army.

Still the same as before.

When the Yellow Turban Army saw Li Gang leaving the city, they ran away without saying a word.

Li Gang spurred his horse and chased after him.

But in the end, the Yellow Turban Army still escaped.

And so on, the cycle repeats.

This made Li Gang so confused that his head was about to spin.

Damn it!
This group of Yellow Turban Army must be the reincarnation of the Rabbit Spirit!

They can really run fast!
Li Gang was wrong about this. Ye Chen used a rotation strategy.

Lure Jiangdu County officers and soldiers in batches.

Anyway, when a group of people get tired of running, another group of people will take over and continue running.

After Li Gang chased several times, he suddenly discovered a major problem.

Because the place where military supplies were stored was burned down by Yellow Turban spies.

The army's food supplies were once again in short supply.

Without any choice.

Li Gang thought about going to the local gentry to raise some military rations.

But this time.

The local gentry disagreed.

The last time I donated grain was to help you fight the Yellow Turban Army.

But the result?

The Yellow Turban Army was not captured at all, and the Jiangdu County was in chaos.

What's the point of giving you food?

Li Gang begged for a long time from everyone.

Not even a bit of military rations was raised.

People eat and horses feed, and they are all picky about it.

Within a day, the little food in Jiangdu County was completely gone.

In desperation, Li Gang could only forcibly requisition grain from the people of Jiangdu County.

This caused the entire county to be filled with resentment.

The people are already poor, how many drops of oil can be squeezed out of three ounces of meat? ?

The food that was forcibly collected from the people was once again consumed within two days.

at this time.

Jiangdu County.

On top of the city wall.

"Brothers, it's time for dinner!"

The fireman carried two wooden barrels on a shoulder pole and shouted loudly.

Hear sounds.

The military officer in charge of the county's defense came closer to the barrel and kicked it over.

"This is fucking food for humans to eat."

"There's no rice in the bucket of porridge, but there's a handful of wild vegetable leaves floating in it!"

“Just let us eat this?”

"Eating these things every day, can we have the strength to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army?"

"hey-hey!"

The fire soldier had an awkward smile on his face.

"My Lord, there is nothing we can do about this!"

"We really have no food!" "Besides, even if you are angry, take it out on the county magistrate, not me!"

"The county magistrate only gave me this little food. Even if I made a lot of flowers, I wouldn't be able to achieve anything!"

The fireman had just finished speaking.

The aroma of meat wafted over the city wall.

It was only a few hundred meters outside the county town.

The Yellow Turban soldiers held a big bowl of mutton noodles and ate it heartily.

"Oh my god, this mutton noodles is so delicious!"

"Yeah, even if I eat it every day until I die, I won't get tired of it!"

"Brothers stationed in the city defense of Jiangdu County, listen carefully! Our Commander Qu has said it."

"As long as you open the city gates, lay down your weapons and surrender, you will get plenty of sauerkraut noodles, braised chicken legs, and braised eggs!"

"Yes, brothers, why do you want to fight to the death? Isn't the purpose of life to have a bite to eat? Just surrender, just surrender! You will be well fed in our Yellow Turban Army!"

at this time.

To reduce consumption.

Li Gang only arranged 200 city defense troops at each city gate.

Jiangdu County has three city gates and a total of 600 city defense troops.

In Li Gang's opinion.

He didn't think that the Yellow Turban Army could capture Jiangdu County with just a few hundred people.

Besides, there are more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in the temporary military camp in the county.

Once there is a change, we can provide support at any time.

"Sir, I think the Yellow Turban Army is right!"

"Yes, isn't the purpose of life to have a bite to eat?"

"Look at what we eat every day and what the Yellow Turban Army eats!"

"No, let's just open the gates and surrender!"

The general looked at his soldiers who were looking at him eagerly, with a hesitant look on their faces.

But then I smelled the aroma of meat and my stomach started growling.

Suddenly gritted his teeth!

"Made!"

"If you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

"It's not that we are unjust and betray the county lord!"

"It's the Yellow Turban Army's mutton noodles. They're so damn delicious."

"Brothers, lay down your weapons, open the city gates, and surrender to the Yellow Turban Army!"

"Follow me to eat臊子面, braised chicken legs and braised eggs!"

the other side.

Under the spiritual pollution of the Yellow Turban Army’s large-scale food broadcast.

The 600 officers and soldiers in charge of Jiangdu County’s city defense collapsed.

He took the initiative to open the city gates, laid down his weapons, and surrendered to the 700 Yellow Turban Army.

Ye Chen had anticipated this.

Before this, all the arrangements he made were just preparations.

It's all about competing with the officers and soldiers to see who can survive.

Want to survive the officers and soldiers.

You need enough food.

Speaking of this, Ye Chen has never been afraid of anyone.

More than food?
Ye Chen just wanted to stand up and say one sentence: "I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to tell you that everyone here is a good person!"

After settling the surrendered officers and soldiers.

Ye Chen ordered his 700 Yellow Turban soldiers to enter the city immediately.

At the same time, contact the three hundred Yellow Turban Army lurking in Jiangdu County and the gold medal undercover agent - Wang Ergou.

Gather all your forces.

Surrounded the Jiangdu County Government Office.

Beheaded the magistrate of Jiangdu County.

It is imperative to ensure that all orders from County Magistrate Li Gang cannot be transmitted to the temporary military camp in Jiangdu County.

------

at dusk.

Jiangdu County Government!

Li Gang was discussing with his advisers where to prepare military supplies.

I just said a few words here.

Then I heard a burst of noise coming from outside the county government office.

"Bros!"

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the age of Jiazi will bring good luck to the world!"

"For Commander Qu, charge ahead, brothers!"

"Shoot the arrow first, shoot the arrow first!"

"Someone, break open the gate of the county government office!"

Outside the county government office, loud shouts were heard.

A thousand Yellow Turban soldiers attacked the county government office like a tide.

One after another, figures holding bows and arrows shot cold rays directly into the county government office.

"call!"

"call!"

As the rocket shot into the county government office, flames suddenly shot up into the sky.

One by one, the strong men held the battering ram and rammed the gate of the county government office.

"boom!"

The gate of the county government office collapsed with a loud bang, and teams of Yellow Turban soldiers holding shields poured into the county government office like a steel torrent.
