More and more xanthopanax soldiers fell. Qian Lin and the rest immediately ordered the xanthopanax soldiers to retreat and defend. As the number of soldiers decreased, they gradually pulled back their defensive formation. The second wave of reinforcements came up and met the attack of Yuan Shu's team the moment they arrived. They had not even fully launched their attacks and had already started to crouch together.
Huangfu Song had been observing the attacks of the imperial army the entire time. Seeing that the two squads of soldiers were quickly charging into the enemy lines to snatch the positions, and that the soldiers who did not fear death had shocked them, could not help but smile as he watched how well their charge and killing were going, and how high morale they had.
"Everyone attack!"
They shouted as they raised the swords and spears in their hands high up into the air. Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, waving their longsword, followed with their horses and horses. They were going to give the xanthopanax soldiers the last strike.
"Kill …"
Yang Lin shouted, the twenty thousand cavalrymen shouted together, holding their spears up high, all the warhorses roared, raising their four hooves and rushing towards Yellow Scarves' Great Formation. Smoke and dust filled the air as the sound of galloping horses echoed through the sky.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang had also been keeping an eye on the army of the imperial government that was attacking. This was their main attacking force, and seeing that the formation of the xanthopanax's soldiers had scattered, Zhang Bao could not help but frown.
"Retreat. Don't bother about the gains and losses for one day. There will be a long time in the future."
"Howl …"
In the vast wilderness, the voice of the Bullhorn rang once again. However, this time it was the xanthopanax's retreat horn. When the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves heard the sound of the horn, he immediately retreated in a formation that was even more intimate than his parents. He covered each other and slowly retreated.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's team were truly not ordinary strong, although they had retreated, they were still organized, as long as the cavalry approached, the xanthopanax's archer would send out a wave of archery rain, causing them to be unable to approach, they could only watch as the great array of xanthopanax slowly retreated. Inside the Guangzong City, it was enveloped in a layer of white. All of the General of the Yellow Scarf Army s and soldiers had taken off their yellow scarves and changed into white hats. In the camp, on the city walls, in the streets and in every corner of the city, there was a white banner stuck everywhere. The hundred over officers all had to take turns to keep watch for Zhang Jiao, the low and deep Bullhorn would blow on time, ordering the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves to mourn Zhang Jiao's death.
"Howl …"
"Wow …"
"Aooo …"
Everyone, whether it was generals or soldiers, was crying and wailing for Zhang Jiao. The mournful and sorrowful wails resounded throughout the Guangzong, converging together into a hysterical wail that endlessly spread and reverberated within the vast Jizhou.
"Oh my god …" You took away our General Tianguang, how are we supposed to live … Why didn't you take away those official dog s? They are the real bad guys … "
In one of yellow cloth army camp's tents, a few soldiers were crying their hearts out, their voices somewhat hoarse. However, they were still respectfully kneeling on the ground, crying and crying with runny noses, venting the grief in their hearts.
From their sorrowful expressions, it could be seen how sorrowful they were towards Zhang Jiao's death. Their faces were filled with grief, and their eyes were mostly filled with frustration or confusion. Maybe their parents were dead, and they wouldn't be so upset.
After crying for an unknown period of time, the soldiers gradually became tired. Many of them fell asleep while lying on the beds on the floor. Weeping was also a physical activity, and the sad crying had overdrawn his physical strength as well. "Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee …" Not long after, the entire tent began to snore, and the soldiers once again felt sad in their dreams.
However, there were also a few people who could not sleep. The hundred of them had already counted Xia Yun's eyes that were looking at the roof of the tent tens of times, but they were still unable to count it clearly, but they were still not sleepy, and could not fall asleep no matter what. Zhang Jiao was dead. xanthopanax was about to reach his end, how could he sleep.
"Brother, you can't sleep either?"
"Nonsense, will you move even if you fall asleep?"
The one who spoke was Xia Yun's little brother, Xia Feng. So it turned out that he was also tossing and turning over and over again, and he could not fall asleep no matter what. Seeing that his brother was still awake, he walked over. He raised his head and looked around him. The other soldiers seemed to have all fallen asleep, Xia Feng then laid back down.
"Brother, General Tianguang is dead. What should we do?"
"What do we do? Don't let your thoughts run wild, do what you should do, and don't speak nonsense, or else even I will be implicated by you. "
"Pui, you think that that little crappy brat of yours is afraid of getting implicated?"
Xia Feng rolled his eyes at his brother fiercely, looking down on him. Although the two brothers were born into poverty, they had also read for a few days. They were much more shrewd than the average xanthopanax soldier. It was a pity that their martial arts were not high, and they did not become like one person in the xanthopanax.
"Brother, it's fine if you don't want to be a little crappy, but let's think of a way to slip away early. If we continue staying here, I'm afraid we will have to accompany Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to play until the end."
"Be quiet, are you courting death? Even if you want to escape, you have to be able to. If you get caught by the officials, you might as well die. Have you forgotten about that Dong Zhuo? He roasted our brothers in xanthopanax to death. "
Xia Yun was a little afraid. Whatever this little brother said, it would be fine, it was just that he had nothing to hide from others. If others were to hear it, the two brothers could forget about living. He quickly got up from the bed and looked around. Everyone was sleeping, regardless if they were really asleep or not. No one was awake.
"You are a coward. These people are basically from our village, who would run away to inform us? The folks are with you, you can't hurt everybody. "
"How could I harm you all? Now that the General Tianguang has just died and everyone is very sad, if you want to escape, who will follow you? If the Generals knew about this, no one would be able to survive. "It's better to just stay honest. We'll talk about it when we get the chance."
Xia Feng no longer spoke, and quietly laid on the bed. No matter if he slept or couldn't sleep, he would just lie there and not move. He did not feel sad at all when Zhang Jiao died. He had even not seen Zhang Jiao a few times, and one that he had seen from afar.
The reason the two brothers joined xanthopanax was to eat a meal. Their entire village had been robbed clean by the xanthopanax led by Jiang Zhen. When Lu Tong brought xanthopanax past their village, all of the young and strong people from the village ran over to participate in Lu Tong's xanthopanax, and in the end, they met Jiang Zhen's xanthopanax at Guangzong.
"This is probably fate."
After that, Xia Feng had met many xanthopanax soldiers. During the idle chat, he found out that a lot of xanthopanax soldiers joined the ranks of the xanthopanax just like this. They were basically the entire village's young and strong who ran over to xanthopanax together. However, after they went over to xanthopanax, under Zhang Jiao's bewitching, many of the xanthopanax's soldiers firmly decided to rebel.
On the surface, the Guangzong City did not look like they were smiling at all. Everyone had a bitter face, all the soldiers spoke carefully, afraid that they would accidentally say something that would cause trouble. No one dared to smile, as if they were all immersed in grief.
Zhang Jiao and his disciples had cured many of their illnesses over the course of more than ten years, winning over many people's gratitude. The soldiers who had followed them sincerely formed the backbone of the Jizhou, the spiritual pillar of the Jizhou that allowed his to fight to the death.
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the peasants suffered greatly from the chaos caused by the imperial court and local decrees. The clever Zhang Jiao saw the opportunity. The three of them walked in the State County, using spells and chants to treat all kinds of people, many of the sick and sick citizens drank his rune water and healed him without any harm, making Zhang Jiao a living god to the honest and honest citizens.
Zhang Jiao then sent eight more disciples to the eight great provinces of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Ke, and Yu, and the amount of followers increased more and more, to the point that there were hundreds of thousands of people following them.
Zhang Jiao had been practicing for more than ten years and when he saw that there were more and more believers, he created the "Huang Tian Tai Ping", also known as the "Taiping Dao" to manage the believers, and called himself a "Great Virtuous Master". He divided the influence area into thirty-six sides, with each side pushing a leader, and it was all under Zhang Jiao's control. The momentum became more and more powerful, but there was no lack of tyrants, officials, eunuchs and so on. Hence, the imperial government and the Hanling Emperor Liu Hong did not pay too much attention to them.
After the xanthopanax uprising broke out, those believers didn't hesitate to sell their family properties and abandon their wives and children in order to join Zhang Jiao. They traveled a thousand miles and fought their way here to join the xanthopanax, and it was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
In the original history, there were very few xanthopanax s who surrendered, and Zhang Jiao was the god in their hearts. When the Imperial army took over the Guangzong, and the Jizhou failed in the end, there were actually five ten thousand people s who would rather die than surrender to the Imperial army.
However, not everyone was a devout believer. No matter the religion, no matter organization, no matter the era, there would always be a few speculators and some undetermined people. When they saw that the xanthopanax's influence was gone, they could not help but think for themselves.
Especially when the deity statue in their hearts fell, their fantasies were shattered. Many people's faith began to waver. Even the most resolute believers began to wonder if they were in the wrong and began to doubt their faith.
In fact, many people's beliefs were just fantasies, even unrealistic fantasies. When he had fantasized about something for a long time, he would constantly strengthen the fantasy in his mind, and eventually treat fantasy as faith.
For the next few days, the Imperial army did not take advantage of Zhang Jiao's death to attack the Guangzong. The two brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, took this opportunity to organize a funeral for Zhang Jiao.
In Zhang Jiao's memorial hall, Gao Sheng, Jiang Zhen, Yan Zheng, Lu Tong, Ren Zhi, Qian Lin and the other General of the Yellow Scarf Army were guarding for Zhang Jiao. It had already been a few days, regardless if it was true or not, at the beginning, they were still crying in sorrow, but after a long time, no matter how intimate their relationship was, there were no tears at all.
