Chapter 181 Ports and Supervision Agencies(2/2)
The counties were still under the control of the Han Dynasty, and those who guarded them were the county magistrates of Zhucheng.
"Immediately recruit local warriors to defend the city and ask for help from the Prime Minister of Langya! There are strangers in the city, and they may be able to contact the Prime Minister of Langya!"
The city officials quickly mobilized the residents of the city to defend the city. There were tens of thousands of warriors from all over the country, and the free players had to come to the city walls to defend the city.
Once the Yellow Turban Army captures the city, all their property and food will be looted. Therefore, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army must not be allowed to capture the city!
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has captured no fewer than fifteen county towns in Qingzhou!
Chu Tian was the Langya Prime Minister officially appointed by the imperial court, and was also his nominal superior. It was reasonable and reasonable for the counties to seek help from Chu Tian when they were attacked.
"The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has begun to attack the city!"
Some of the defenders screamed as they saw hundreds of ladders being carried out from the phalanx of 50,000 Yellow Turban infantry, and the elite Yellow Turban commanders were at the rear to supervise the battle and maintain morale!
Because of the joining of Dorgon and Wu Sangui, the Yellow Turban Army is undergoing a transformation. They have specialized attack teams, supervising teams, leading soldiers, and transportation teams.
The only thing that didn't change was that Dorgon and Wu Sangui still regarded them as cannon fodder and used human sea tactics to attack the city.
"Prepare fire arrows and fire oil. We must not let them climb the city wall!"
The magistrates of various counties were anxious and used fire arrow teams.
Villages and towns are easy to capture, but counties can hold off the Yellow Turban Army for a period of time as long as they are properly defended.
Woo
The desolate sound of horns echoed on the battlefield, yellow flags were fluttering, and more than ten thousand Yellow Turban troops, as the first batch of siege troops, poured into the cities like a tide!
Wu Sangui reined in his horse and squinted his eyes to observe this bridgehead in the north of Langya Kingdom.
After conquering the cities, further south, he reached Ju County, where he fell into disgrace.
Zhucheng is not within Chutian's sphere of influence because Zhucheng is too close to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army's sphere of influence. If they occupy Zhucheng, they will face the pressure brought by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops launched an attack on the cities. The defenders on the city walls fired rockets. The flaming arrows burned down the ladders of the Yellow Turban troops, and black smoke billowed.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army fell into madness, and the defenders of Zhucheng also fell into madness.
The Yellow Turban Army will burn, kill and loot. For the sake of their own property and lives, the defenders of Zhucheng must guard the city walls! The city walls are the only barrier to the sea of people!
The fire arrows of the defenders played an important role. Many of the ladders erected caught fire and the Yellow Turban Army's siege speed slowed down. However, the Yellow Turban Army began to use a large amount of manpower to dig tunnels in order to destroy the foundation of the city wall.
"Has Prime Minister Langya responded? We can't hold on at all if this continues!"
Faced with the continuous strong attacks of the Yellow Turban Army, the magistrates of various counties were on the verge of collapse at any time.
"Someone has contacted the Prime Minister of Langya. The Prime Minister of Langya has sent a light cavalry to march 1,200 miles and will arrive in eight days!"
"So fast?"
The county magistrates were overjoyed when they heard the news. They marched 1,200 miles in eight days. Such a speed of march was simply terrifying.
When the garrison troops in various counties learned that there were reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted and they strengthened their determination to defend to the death.
