While resting, Chen Mo asked Gao Zheng and the others to eat all the rations they carried, but not to eat too much. After all, they would have to march with high intensity later.

On this expedition, everyone brought three days' rations with them.

Although it is a three-day ration, it does not satisfy people every time. It can be divided into three days.

Considering the appetite and consumption of a warrior, if the remaining rations are eaten as full, they can only eat two more meals.

Gao Zheng and others were stunned and said: "Du Tou, you have eaten up all your rations now. What will you do tomorrow?"

"Survive today first, then worry about tomorrow." Chen Mo didn't say it clearly.

Gao Zheng looked at the solemn look on Chen Mo's face. After a moment of confusion, he took the rations over.

Their rations are rice noodles and whole grain sesame cakes.

Rice noodles are not the kind of strip-shaped rice noodles.

It's in powder form, fried in flour and mixed with various seasonings. It tastes average but fills the stomach.

Xu Dabang passed on Chen Mo's order.

Soon, everyone was devouring the whole thing.

Chen Mo stroked Xue Longjun's horse face, and Xue Longjun, who was eating grass, also rubbed his head against Chen Mo affectionately.

In the distance, Gao Fen's soldiers quickly walked over and told Gao Fen what happened to Chen Mo.

Gao Fen was opening his water bag and taking a sip of water. When he saw the soldiers coming to report, he whispered in his ear, and then Gao Fen murmured: "Do you know your destiny? I plan to be a starved ghost."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Gao Fen's mouth.

He immediately said: "When we arrive at Qingwan Town, let the first and third battalions and Dongdu attack the city, with the archers covering the back."

Although Chen Mo and others were sent to attack the city.

But he didn't just let them die. He didn't help them in any way. After all, Gao Fen also wanted to capture the city.

It's just because the first batch of siege soldiers had a high mortality rate.

A quarter of an hour later.

The vanguard army led by Gao Fen took action on time and headed towards Qingwan Town at full speed.

...

the other side.

Beijiang County.

One night, Huangfu Hao also gathered nearly a thousand remnant soldiers from Nanyang County.

Through the mouths of these remaining soldiers and the spies sent out last night to find the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves, Huangfu Hao roughly figured out the movements of the rebel thieves.

Huangfu Hao took out the map and spread it out.

Based on the information from the remnant soldiers, a marching movement of the rebels was drawn.

Finally, the three county towns were circled.

Nanyang City, Fengchi County, Qingwan Town.

Huangfu Hao looked to the west, chuckled, and said: "I have all the movements of the rebels. I know the movements of the rebels like the palm of my hand. I will know as soon as they make a move. Now we just need to wait for Xiao Teng and the others to arrive, and then we will start the war."

…

Because of the war, countless people in Nanyang County were displaced, and these people slowly gathered to form piles of refugees.

You will ask.

Why didn't the Yellow Turban Army accept it?

The Yellow Turban Army took over, but he only took in young adults and their families. After all, this was the source of their troops.

As for the old, weak, sick and disabled who had no young adults at home, as well as those women who were lucky enough not to be favored by the Yellow Turban Army, they became batches of refugees.

They were heading towards the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River or the cities in Nanyang County that had not yet been conquered by the bandits.

Outside Fengchi County, groups of refugees gathered like this.

Some of these refugees are relatives of the defenders in Fengchi County.

So the emotional card was played under the city.

"Goudan, I am your uncle. I hugged you when you were a child. Don't you remember? Please beg your commander to let me in."

"Shenggen, I am your cousin, let me in quickly..."

"..."

Although the defenders on the city wall were moved, no one dared to put down the basket or open the city gate.

Who knows if there are any Yellow Turbans hidden among these refugees?

These days, they have heard about the crimes committed by the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang County.

If they are allowed to invade Fengchi County, their family members will not end well.

Therefore, even if they are relatives, they are indifferent.

Don't even dare to throw away food.

A defender had thrown it before.

Riots broke out among the refugees.

If they hadn't strengthened their defenses and recruited some civilians in the city for defense, there might have been a big mess.

Then the defender was beheaded by the superiors.

"The bowstring is full!"

As the sun rose high in the sky, seeing some of the refugees trying to get closer to the city wall to shade themselves from the sun, the generals guarding the city immediately raised their hands.

On the city wall, the archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, with their bowstrings fully drawn, aiming at the city. Just waiting for the general's order, the arrows in their hands would fly out.

"People below, listen, everyone is a hundred steps away from the city wall, and anyone who comes even half a step closer to the city wall, kill!"

The general on the city wall shouted:

"retreat!"

"one."

"two."

"three!"

Seeing that there were still people who were unmoved, the general became heartbroken, suddenly lowered his raised hand, and shouted: "Let go!"

With a command, the arrow in the archer's hand came out of the string.

call out!

call out!

call out!

Anyone who was within a hundred steps of the city wall, whether women, children, old or young, would be shot to death.

Such a bloody scene scared the refugees a hundred steps away and involuntarily took dozens of steps back.

On the mountain more than ten miles away from Fengchi County.

This is the camp of one of the Yellow Turban Bandits.

Such a set of conversations came from the camp.

"how's it going?"

"The defense is very tight. Our people can't get in at all. Anyone who comes within a hundred steps of the city wall and doesn't leave after three orders will be shot to death."

"Well, I originally wanted to rush into Fengchi County to capture Luo Zhen and present it to the general for great merit. Looking at the current situation, I can only wait for the general's army to arrive before attacking. Keep a close eye on me. If anyone escapes from the city, or

If anyone runs in, they should report it to me."

"promise."

...

At noon.

Beijiang County.

Huangfu Hao did not wait for the news that Xiao Teng's army had arrived, but he did wait for the news that Gao Fen arrived with the vanguard army.

But this news is also good news for Huangfu Hao.

"Five thousand people, five thousand people..." Huangfu Hao began to think deeply. After a moment, he clapped his hands and said: "The main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves is not in Qingwan Town. Five thousand people is enough. Huangfu Xin, you lead a group

Thousands of people will stay in Beijiang County, and the remaining people will follow the general to Yicheng to join the vanguard army."

"promise."

...
