Two thousand soldiers, but extremely powerful.
The Yellow Turban Army, which was attacking the city, saw the reinforcements coming fiercely. Faced with the Xiang Family Army, which had only one-tenth of its number, it suddenly began to panic.
On top of the city wall, Zhang Liao looked at the reinforcements under the city and was overjoyed.
"Reinforcements have arrived, everyone, work harder to defend the city."
The Yellow Turban Army is now besieged, and as long as our side holds the city, they will be able to make these Yellow Turban soldiers nowhere to escape.
On Xiang Kunlun's side, the archers first fired in an orderly manner, and the arrows from the sky fell like raindrops.
The Yellow Turban Army, which did not even have a pair of armor on their bodies, fell one after another under the rain of arrows.
Break the army first and break the momentum.
Xiang Kunlun has already set his sights on the general of the Yellow Turban Army, a general wearing a yellow Taoist robe.
The bow and arrow in his hand were fully drawn, and he shot them instantly.
The arrow was like a comet hitting the moon, carrying the sound of hunting wind, and penetrated directly into the throat of the general.
After the blood splattered everywhere, the Yellow Turban general did not even have the strength to resist and fell straight down.
The voice of "the enemy general is dead" spread among the army, which ushered in the Yellow Turban Army's greater panic.
Xiang Kunlun held the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd high in his hand and charged straight into the Yellow Turban Army.
Wherever he went, there was no enemy, leaving only broken limbs and corpses all over the ground, as well as the horror of countless Yellow Turban troops.
If it were a head-on confrontation, the other party might still resist.
But now they have completely lost their military morale, and many of them collapsed on the ground.
Zhang Liao, who was on the city wall, saw that the incoming army was so brave, and his heart was surging even more.
He jumped directly from the city less than three feet away, waving the long knife in his hand, and no one could resist.
Today's battlefield seems to have become a show for them and a hell for the Shura army.
Even the ordinary soldiers on Xiang Kunlun's side were braver than the last.
Now they are no longer the poor tenants they once were, but killing machines who own their fields and have no worries.
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
Under the city, Xiang Kunlun Tianlong broke through the city and raised his halberd high, shouting loudly.
This loud shout was like thunder from the sky, completely making the Yellow Turban Army lose all intention of resisting.
The Yellow Turban troops put down their weapons one after another, and the 20,000-strong army surrendered one after another before they could even burn incense.
"Thank you for coming to our aid, general. I am Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan."
Seeing the Yellow Turbans surrendering one after another, Zhang Liao felt extremely grateful to Xiang Kunlun.
If it weren't for Xiang Kunlun, when those soldiers rushed into the city, the people all over the city would have suffered.
"No, no, I saw the general's bravery just now."
"Forgot to introduce, I am the magistrate of Mayi County, Xiang Kunlun, after Xiang Yu."
Xiang Kunlun said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao also felt admiration in his heart.
In this era, the concept of family status and bloodline is actually quite important, otherwise Liu Daer would not have said the words "Prince Jing of Zhongshan".
But Xiang Kunlun's family background is not always useful.
To those loyal officials of the Han Dynasty, such an introduction was tantamount to showing that they were rebels.
"She is actually the Overlord Queen. I have admired her for a long time."
But Zhang Liao was obviously not that loyal to the Han Dynasty and said.
Xiang Kunlun and Zhang Liao entered the city while talking.
Of the remaining 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, Xiang Kunlun also followed the previous method, letting some of them disarm and return to their fields, and some of them serving as soldiers.
But before that, Xiang Kunlun also asked them to identify each other.
As for those bandits, bandit Xiang Kunlun is not willing to recruit them, he only wants ordinary people.
In this era when bones are exposed in the wild and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, most people are innocent.
If it weren't for helplessness, who would want to bear the name of a thief
Such an act also earned Zhang Liao constant admiration.
Benevolence and righteousness, wisdom and courage, just these two points can make him admire him very much.
"Now that the siege of Mayi County has been lifted, I wonder where the general wants to go next?"
In the county government office of Mayi County, Xiang Kunlun looked at Zhang Liao and asked.
Zhang Liao saluted without thinking, "If the general doesn't dislike me, then I will join the general's army and fight to the death for the general to kill the enemy and protect all people."
Xiang Kunlun was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly helped Zhang Liao up: "Since Wen Yuan has this intention, it is best. Now that I don't have a general in my hands, I am worried about this matter. Now that I have a general, I am like a fish in water, like a tiger with added wings."
Today, Xiang Kunlun has Guo Fengxiao and Zhang Wenyuan in literature. They can be said to be two powerful ministers.
After the inventory of the Yellow Turbans was completed, he had two thousand more usable soldiers.
Xiang Kunlun is no longer as hasty in selecting soldiers as he was before. He not only wants loyal and brave men, but also rejects those who are too old or too young.
After all, those people can be regarded as a strong labor force in the city. If they go into military force, they will only suffer the consequences.
Now food is still the most important link, after all, the King of Hell is not short of starving to death.
Xiang Kunlun handed over the newly collected two thousand usable soldiers to Zhang Liao for training.
It should take less than a month to build a good army, but elite soldiers are still unlikely.
Now that the two county towns have entered Xiang Kunlun's pocket, it is natural to trouble Guo Jia to check the accounts.
Xiang Kunlun often discusses military affairs with Zhang Liao these days.
He is not born with knowledge, and naturally needs constant learning and practice.
Since you have great ambitions, you will naturally have to endure some hardships.
Otherwise, you will be as brave and foolhardy as He Xiang Bu, and in the end you will just become someone else's tool. It is simply impossible to gain a foothold in this troubled world.
Guo Jia has been keeping records in the county these days. After the inventory was cleared, his brows furrowed.
There are approximately 100,000 households in these two counties, with a population of about 350,000.
But there is not much food and money left. If you want to develop, then money and food are naturally indispensable.
Since Xiang Kunlun divided the fields, people's enthusiasm for production has indeed increased a lot.
But the lack of money and food is an urgent matter.
Now that the fields have just been cultivated, it will take at least six months in the autumn for the food to come out.
Moreover, the money Xiang Kunlun needed to train and arm the soldiers was a huge expenditure, and he simply could not make ends meet.
When Guo Jia reported this matter to Xiang Kunlun, Xiang Kunlun was still practicing military tactics with Zhang Liao, but he was not panicked at all.
