Hearing Xu Huang's words, Ji Ling couldn't help but frown.
The Yellow Turbans have now moved all their troops into Yanzhou. Although Licheng is still in the hands of the Yellow Turbans, the number of garrison troops is only one or two thousand at most. The two thousand people in the short city will definitely be difficult to resist against their own elites. Xu Huang's gourd
What kind of medicine is being sold?
"Yongyi, Licheng City has a small army and it will definitely be difficult to resist your violent attack. What I mean is that you lead the troops to feign an attack, and then I pretend to be the Yellow Turbans and defeat you. How will the Yellow Turbans in the city feel?"
Soldiers are themselves, bandits are themselves, directing and acting by themselves is very nice.
"Well done to you, Xu Gongming. In this case, the Yellow Turbans in Licheng will definitely be grateful. I believe you even if you say that I recognize you as my father."
Ji Ling immediately understood what Xu Huang meant.
"It's just a little cleverness. It's only useful against the Yellow Turbans. It will definitely be ineffective against the Lord's elite."
Xu Huang smiled slightly and waited for Ji Ling's answer.
"This plan is feasible. After being killed by you, I will lead my troops and wait on the road in Lu County. Then I will fight with you again."
Ji Ling nodded and approved Xu Huang's plan.
"Let's get ready. It's still three days' journey from here to Licheng. Then I'll see you perform."
"Just watch it."
A few days passed by in a hurry, and Ji Ling appeared on the outskirts of Licheng with two thousand soldiers and horses.
"Xiao Shuai, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming."
Seeing Ji Ling coming, the yellow scarf on the city head immediately sounded the alarm, and at the same time, they rushed to the Xiaoshuai in charge of Licheng without stopping.
"What? The army is coming? How many troops are coming?"
Chen Ding, the young city guard, was almost frightened to death when he heard the news.
Although Chen Ding is called Xiaoshuai, he does not have many troops, only 5,000 old and young, and only 1,500 can actually fight on the wall.
"There are thousands of people and horses, it's so dark that we can't even count them."
The quality of the Yellow Turban Army varies. Most of them are farmers who have just put down their hoes. Their education level is not high. It is really difficult for them to guess the enemy's soldiers and horses at a glance.
"Thousands of people? So many. Brothers, hurry up and follow me up the city wall."
Without delay, Chen Ding picked up a steel knife and walked directly towards the city wall.
Arriving at the top of the city wall, Chen Ding couldn't help but tremble in his legs as he looked at Ji Ling and the two thousand elite soldiers below.
Chen Ding was like this, and so were the yellow turbans under him, with empty eyes and fear on their faces.
"I am a general under the command of Kong Rong, the governor of the East China Sea. I have been specially ordered to come to attack you. If you know what you are doing, please quickly present your city and surrender. I will keep you safe, otherwise I will kill you all when the city is broken."
Lieutenant Hu Lie came to the bottom of Licheng and shouted at the yellow scarf on the top of the city.
"Xiao Shuai, what should I do?"
A trembling lieutenant called Wang Xiang and killed Chen Ding.
"What to do? How do I know what to do? What do you tell me to do?"
This question directly angered Chen Ding, who stared at the lieutenant with wide eyes.
"Little one, little one, little one doesn't know."
The lieutenant was already scared, but Chen Ding was so frightened that his pants got wet and he peed.
"Xiao Shuai, if it doesn't work out, let's surrender. It's better to be a prisoner than to lose your life."
Another lieutenant approached Chen Ding and expressed his opinion.
Chen Ding glanced at it. Some of the soldiers below were looking towards the city, some were looking around, and most of them were looking at himself. But no matter where these people were looking, their eyes were full of fear, and they were filled with deep fear.
fear.
"Hey, it seems that surrender is a way out now. Once I have discussed it with the people below, I will open the city and surrender."
It is said that a proud soldier will be defeated and a sad soldier will win, but there is another saying that a soldier who is timid will perish. This yellow scarf under his command is now a completely timid soldier. Even if he wants to resist, it is estimated that the army will come up.
He just tied himself up and offered it to the city.
"Okay, surrender."
"Surrender, no more fighting."
"No need to die, no need to die."
As soon as Chen Ding said this, the whole city cheered, and the several officers surrounding him also became relieved.
"General, why are they cheering so loudly? Shouldn't they be nervous when troops approach the city?"
Looking at the Yellow Turban Army at the top of the city, the captain was a little confused.
"Cheers? If things go against the norm, you are a monster. Inform the entire army to relax openly and be on guard secretly to prevent the Yellow Turbans from leaving the city."
Ji Ling was also a little confused, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.
"promise."
Following Ji Ling's instructions, the two thousand sergeants remained the same on the outside, but in fact they had exerted their inner strength. Each one of them clenched the handle of their sword, ready to unleash the strongest lethality at any time.
"Officials and soldiers below the city, listen up. I'm going to ask you a question. According to what you just said, if Kaicheng surrenders, our lives will be guaranteed. Take it seriously."
Chen Ding loudly asked Ji Ling and others at the bottom of the city.
"Sir, what's going on? Are they going to surrender?"
Chen Ding's words directly put the captain in trouble. They were just ordinary words used in ordinary battles, just like when someone meets someone and asks, "Have you eaten?"
Seriously?
"It seems like they are really scared. I told you to take it easy, now it's better."
Ji Ling also had a sad look on his face. Although he knew that the Yellow Turbans were not strong, it was too much to be surrendered with just one sentence.
"Sir, I won't take the blame for this. You are a general. I will listen to you no matter what you do."
The captain was about to cry. If he disrupted Xu Huang's plan, then even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't be able to behead him.
"What should we do? Promise them first, and then beat the drums and ask Xu Huang to come out quickly, otherwise the show will be a disaster."
Ji Ling had no choice but to advance everything. He and Xu Huang agreed to beat the drum here and fight out there.
"I see."
The captain nodded and spurred his horse forward.
"There are no jokes in the army. What this general says is a military order. As long as you open the city and surrender, I will protect your lives."
"Thank you very much, General, and prepare to open the city gate."
While talking, the drummer behind the military formation took off his clothes to reveal his solid muscles, and then took a pair of drumsticks and beat the drum fiercely.
"Dong dong dong."
The roaring drums were so loud that Chen Ding, who was at the head of the drum city, was frightened.
"Be on guard, be on guard, the drums are about to sound. They are going to attack the city. They want to kill them all."
Not only Chen Ding was so loud, but the Yellow Turbans next to him were also the same. They were about to surrender, but they marched with drums beating. This was clearly to kill them. Since horizontal means death, vertical means death, horizontal and vertical means death, then it might as well be
He's standing guard on the city wall.
"Damn it, if you want my life, give it to me in exchange."
"That's right, I want to see how many more lives I can have on my hands."
"Come on, kill one without compensation, kill two and earn one."
