Chapter 73: The 'soul' attack from Zhang Fei makes Dong Zhuo vomit blood!
After the terms were agreed upon, Ye Feng led 40,000 elite troops to march into Xindu that day.
The next day, early in the morning.
While the suicidal offensive and defensive battle was still going on, the army led by Ye Feng arrived at the battlefield.
Looking at the broken walls and the strong smell of blood in their noses, the generals who originally despised Dong Zhuo all showed complicated expressions in their eyes.
"Although Dong Zhuo is useless, only good at talking on paper and without courage or strategy, at least he is not a deserter."
Zhang Fei's words were recognized by many people.
But Cao Cao and Liu Bei understood Dong Zhuo's intention to atone for his sins with merits, and they shook their heads in disdain.
Of course, the two did not reveal it, because some things can't be said out loud.
Ye Feng would not point it out, and agreed with a smile: "Yide is right."
"Blow the horn and let these soldiers who have fought so hard retreat!"
"You can't just take the city by force!"
My own soldiers took up the horn.
"woooooo"
When the gong sounded, the officers and soldiers who were forced to the city wall by Dong Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, eager to escape from the abyss of death.
As the army retreated, Dong Zhuo, supported by several of his personal soldiers, also came to Ye Feng.
At this moment, he no longer had the arrogance he had before, and he was extremely arrogant: "Marshal Ye, I was shot in the shoulder during the siege yesterday. Now I don't have the energy to command the army to break into the city."
"I have submitted a letter to His Majesty. All military affairs in Hebei are handed over to you."
"Please consider that we are both ministers in the same palace and do not refuse."
When Dong Zhuo said this, his fat body was about to fall to his knees.
Perhaps it was because of the big movement that affected the wound, or perhaps it was intentional, but a look of heart-wrenching pain appeared on his dark, fat face.
Ye Feng took two steps forward, supported Dong Zhuo, and whispered, "General Dong, do you agree to the conditions?"
"Cao Cao, Liu Bei and his men are not happy with you for replacing General Lu."
Dong Zhuo grinned, this time he was really heartbroken.
After more than ten years of plundering, he had accumulated tens of thousands of war horses in Xiliang. He had planned to secretly expand his army after becoming the Governor of Liangzhou to deal with the coming chaos.
As a result, Ye Feng took away most of it as soon as he opened his mouth.
But Dong Zhuo didn't dare to turn against him.
After all, whether it is Ye Feng or the Ten Attendants behind him, they are not easy to mess with.
Although external things are good, they are not as good as life!
With a sigh in his heart, Dong Zhuo clenched his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will never let Marshal Ye down!!"
Ye Feng laughed and helped Dong Zhuo up: "General Dong fought against the bandits for the country and led the troops himself. This is really admirable."
"We should follow General Dong's example, capture Xindu, and wipe out the Yellow Turban rebels!!"
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others echoed him in a proper manner.
Zhang Fei looked at Dong Zhuo's wound and couldn't help muttering, "This doesn't look like an arrow shot from the city wall. If it was hit by the force of falling from above, it would at least have pierced his shoulder blade. But this wound is too small. It looks like he was stabbed by the arrowhead himself."
Dong Zhuo: “.”
Ye Feng: “.”
Cao Cao: "."
Generals: “.”
In the wind, everyone tried hard to suppress their laughter, their faces turning red.
A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Dong Zhuo's dark old face.
"Brother, do you think they look alike?"
Zhang Fei's questioning made Liu Bei at a loss as to how to stop him. He could only glare at Zhang Fei fiercely and end the topic.
Countless strange rays of light shone on Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo suppressed the boiling blood in his chest and glared at Zhang Fei: "Marshal Ye, I have asked all the generals in the army to obey your orders!!"
"The mountains are high and the waters are far. We'll meet again."
"Let's go!" Dong Zhuo left dejectedly with Li Ru, Li Jue, Guo Si and other trusted aides.
Before they walked far, laughter finally broke out.
It adds a different color to the originally serious and sad battlefield.
The anger on Dong Zhuo's face became more intense, and Li Ru beside him could not help but persuade him: "Father-in-law, who would take the words of that kind of black man seriously?"
"Your wounds are enough to convince the important officials in the court."
Li Jue and Guo Si were also feeling uncomfortable because of Zhang Fei's words. When they heard the words of Li Ru, an amateur, they could no longer hold back.
"Pfft."
Guo Si burst out laughing.
Li Jue, who had been thinking about his mother's death, couldn't bear it.
Dong Zhuo glared at his two henchmen fiercely: "Even you guys are laughing at me?"
"Oh shit!"
"I"
The words are not finished yet.
"Puff."
He couldn't hold back any longer and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Everything went dark before his eyes and he fell straight off his horse.
Li Jue and Guo Si's faces changed drastically. They quickly jumped off their horses and supported Dong Zhuo.
"Marshal, Marshal"
The scene of Dong Zhuo vomiting blood and falling to the ground once again stunned Ye Feng and others. They subconsciously glanced at Zhang Fei with complicated expressions in their eyes.
Only Zhang Fei didn't understand and had a puzzled look in his eyes.
The sound of the horn ended, and less than ten thousand remaining soldiers gathered in front of Ye Feng.
When they discovered that their commander had changed, their originally low morale suddenly increased several times.
All the soldiers looked at Ye Feng as if they had found a relative, and kept accusing Dong Zhuo of his crimes.
After listening to the remaining soldiers' complaints for a while, Ye Feng raised the spear in his hand. The noisy sound disappeared instantly, and all the soldiers looked at Ye Feng intently.
Ye Feng cleared his throat: "Thank you all for the hard work in the battles."
"You can all go back to your tents and rest now. Once you have rested and recuperated, we will have a decisive battle with the rebels."
More than ten thousand remaining soldiers shouted excitedly, praising Ye Feng for his wisdom.
After settling these exhausted soldiers, Ye Feng looked at Cao Cao and Liu Bei: "Xuan De, Meng De, from now on, you will follow the arrangement and announce the news that the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, Yingchuan, Nanyang and other places has been damaged or destroyed."
"Make sure everyone on the wall hears it."
"Here!!!"
All the generals prepared themselves, and soon more than a thousand soldiers with loud voices, each holding a tin trumpet in their hands, lined up on the city wall outside the archers' range.
"read!!"
Cao Cao gave an order.
More than a thousand soldiers held loud speakers and shouted: "On the sixth day of April, General Ye Feng led his troops to kill Cheng Zhiyuan outside Zhuojun City and wiped out 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in Youzhou."
"On May 18, the Yellow Turban rebels in Yingchuan were attacked head-on by Lieutenant General Huangfu Song at the foot of Yingchuan City, killing 30,000 rebels."
"On the tenth day of the sixth month, the Yellow Turban bandit Zhang Mancheng from Nanyang was attacked from both sides by General Zhu Jun outside Wancheng, killing 20,000 of his enemies."
"Marshal Ye knows that most of you have been deceived by the evil people of the Taiping Dao and are unwilling to rebel. As long as you lay down your weapons, you can be spared the death penalty. As long as you remain indifferent when the soldiers attack the city, you can be exempted from punishment."
"Also, I'll tell you something top secret. Zhang Jue is already terminally ill and could die at any time."
"Zhang Jue is about to die, who are you working for?"
“For whom?”
Words that shook the army's morale were repeated over and over again. The Yellow Turban general, who originally thought that the people outside the city were stupid, could no longer laugh.
Hurry and report the situation outside the city to Zhang Bao
