Chapter 398 Siege
Compared with Feiqian''s soldiers, the rice dumplings of the Baibo Army are much shabby. They are basically made of grains. They are dark pieces, with less than half of them being corn, and most of the rest are unknown. Made from a mixture of leaves and rhizomes.
A Bai Bojun stretched out his black and dusty hands to take it, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth. He closed his mouth tightly and chewed. It seemed that as long as he opened a gap, the food in the rice ball might be released. It''s like rice grains falling out.
The other soldiers basically look similar to him.
Not everyone has a share of such a rice ball. Only those soldiers who are ready to go into battle can enjoy it. Therefore, it is also called a rice ball with a head. After eating, you will fight hard. Naturally, you will either be beheaded by the enemy, or you will behead the enemy yourself.
?Of course, as long as you can cut off the enemy''s heads and bring them back, you can exchange the heads for a few such rice balls.
Although the Baibo Army captured Yong''an City, there was still too little food and grass. After two days of eating freely, most of the food and grass were controlled by the Qushuai of each family, and they returned to the state of tightening their belts to supply. , the huge contrast between being full and then returning to a state of hunger would almost drive a normal person crazy.
After the meal was distributed, one of the guards brought a water bag and fed each person a sip. No one wanted to drink more water. While feeding them, they shouted: "You can eat flour cakes when you enter the city! Snow-white big cakes." Noodles! And jerky! That’s bacon!”
Bai Bojun, who was standing in front of the formation, swallowed the water in his mouth, and some people put their fingers that had taken the rice **** into their mouths and licked them a few times while staring at the dilapidated Pingyang County, as if Pingyang County had already It turned into a big flatbread...

Although the city wall is dilapidated, it is not that easy to climb up the **** from underground. Feiqian''s soldiers have not been idle these days. Although the city wall is dilapidated and there are many collapsed places, they have been cleared out by the city. A lot of bricks, stones and loess were filled and repaired.
Of course, if the White Wave Army slowly besieged the city, these walled areas that had collapsed and had just been repaired were actually very fragile and could not withstand high-intensity fighting and would be damaged again sooner or later. However, the White Wave Army obviously did not want to surround the city. City, I just want to attack the city in one go.
This is a pretty good thing for Fei Qian.
?Fei Qian himself also knows that he cannot afford to waste money, so he can only rely on some methods to resolve the battle as quickly as possible in order to make his losses smaller...
Fei Qian walked to the city along the main road that had been cleared in the past two days. He looked at the thirty personal guards who were on standby. These big and thick guys were the trump card he brought this time.
“Wait a minute, I’ll leave it to you all!” Fei Qian hugged him and bowed.
“Dare to die for the Lord!”

The Yellow Turbans'' usual pre-battle mobilization method ended. Hu Cai''s personal guards retreated behind with half-empty bags of dry food and water bags, while the White Wave Army responsible for the first wave of attacks let out a howl like a wild beast. , like a group of scavenging wild dogs that saw the bleeding wound in Pingyang County, swarmed towards the gap in the city!
The **** of the collapsed city wall is only relatively gentle at this gap, which can be climbed up to some extent. In other places, even if you climb, you have to use both hands and feet. It is basically difficult to prevent the spears from above the head. Therefore, Bai Bojun After trying for a while at other gaps and losing some manpower, they consciously began to gather at this gap and began to attack upwards without Hu Cai''s orders.
Hu Cai, who was supervising the battle, looked at the gap and shouted to kill Zhentian. He glanced left and right and frowned at the soldiers crowded below the gap. He pulled a guard over and whispered a few instructions. The guard immediately nodded. , turned around and ran back... After a while, a group of about a hundred archers came out from the Baibo army. They took advantage of the gap in the city wall to fight fiercely. When they got near the city wall, they suddenly launched a sudden bow and arrow attack on the Fei Qian soldiers on the city wall. !
"Hold up the shield! Hold up the shield!" Someone shouted from the top of the wall, but it was too late. A large number of soldiers on the top of the city were shot down. The White Wave Army immediately cheered, seizing the opportunity to climb up!
?It is not easy to raise archers these days. Most of these people are hunters in the Luliang Mountains. They are the trump cards that Hu Cai has worked hard to save. Now they go into battle, and the effect is remarkable.
Before Hu Cai could be proud, suddenly on the other side of the gap in the city wall, many soldiers with bows stood up. They did not aim at the Baibo troops who were about to climb up, but aimed their sharp arrows at them. Targeting the archers of the White Wave Army who had just carried out a wave of attacks...
Surprise is always the most effective means of killing. Not long after they were proud, the archers of the Baibo Army tasted the taste of arrows themselves. Without any precautions, more than twenty people were shot to death in the blink of an eye, and then they were immediately greeted by another attack. The second wave of arrows is coming...
"I''ll **** your mother!" Hu Cai howled miserably, his eyes almost bursting with fire. He quickly sent people rushing to cover the heavily wounded archers and retreat. These archers he saved with great difficulty. Baby, you lost most of it in one fell swoop, why didn’t you let him die from the pain!
Originally, Hu Cai only saw spearmen on the city wall, but he never saw any archers on it. He assumed that there were probably no archers on it, so he became careless. However, he did not expect to be suddenly attacked, and the archers were basically equipped with armor. Even if they didn''t, a lot of them were shot dead on the spot, especially one of the guys who looked like a commander. The other archers only shot two or three arrows, and that guy shot at least seven or eight arrows!
The archers on the city wall killed Baibo''s archers, and then turned to deal with the Baibo soldiers who climbed the gap. A new wave of troops in the city replenished the city, and immediately retook the gap in the city from the Baibo army.
"Go up! Go up! Take down the city wall, and I will chop off the heads of these people who have killed a thousand people to make drowning weapons!" Hu Cai was furious and ordered the second group of soldiers to attack upward!
Since we can no longer suppress it with bows and arrows, we can still attack it with people! How many arrows can those twenty or thirty archers have?
As expected by Hu Cai, the archers behind the city wall shot a few more batches of bows and arrows, and then slowly stopped. Seeing this, Hu Cai''s Baibo army suddenly recovered as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. I gained courage and rushed upward with all my strength...
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across the country. At this time, a famous general named Huangfu Song appeared, with the courtesy name Yi Zhen.
Not only did he put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he also became one of the seventy-two generals in the Martial Arts Temple.
How did he do it?
Huangfu Song massacred the prisoners and drove all of Zhang Liang''s 50,000 defeated troops into the river and drowned.
After beheading Zhang Bao, he slaughtered another 100,000 prisoners and made the corpses of these 100,000 people into "Jingguan".
Huangfu Song actually used the corpses of peasant rebels as a spectacle in Beijing, massacring the revolting peasants on behalf of the corrupt regime.
How did the people at that time evaluate Huangfu Song?
According to historical records, the common people sang and sang: "The world is in chaos, the market has become a ruin, the mother cannot protect her son, the wife has lost her husband, and the emperor has relied on him to live in peace."
Of course the people who actually farm do not understand poetry...
