"Announcement from the Three Kingdoms Region: Zhang Jiao's troops of the Yellow Turban Army captured Guangping City, Guangping County fell, and the reputation of the Yellow Turban forces increased by 800,000..."

...

"…The Yellow Turban Army Bocai's troops captured Weishi County..."

...

Faced with the continuous sound of announcements from the Three Kingdoms Region, Yang Tao was helpless. After rushing for a day, Yang Tao, who was thinking about food and other issues last night, fell asleep very late. But the next morning, Yang Tao was awakened by the sound of the Yellow Turban Army siegeing the city. Listening to the announcements, Yang Tao was slapped, holding two dark circles, and sitting listlessly on the horse like a panda and moving slowly with the team.

Even though Yang Tao wanted to cheer up, facing the marching speed that was slower than the turtle, Yang Tao's energy was almost worn out as soon as he gathered.

Just as Yang Tao followed the team slowly forward, an NPC town appeared 1,000 meters away in front of the team.

At this time, Yang Tao, a Yellow Turban man with a population of 200,000, was walking towards the town. The only 1,000 soldiers in the town were nervous. All the soldiers were led by the pavilion chief named Tanshou Town, and while guarding the Yellow Turban man in the distance, they sent people to ask for help from Yecheng.

Just when the people in Tanshou Town were nervous, Yang Tao learned about the town in front of him with the reminder of Gao Shun and others. After Yang Tao used his skills to check, he learned that the town was just an intermediate town territory and the scale was only medium-sized, with only a thousand soldiers in it. Yang Tao thought about it and decided to take down Tanshou Town. He had never attacked any village town along the way. At this time, there was no food in his hand, so he took down the town so that the team could get today's meal tickets.

Yang Tao attacked this town not only because of food problems, but also needed a town to implement the subsequent plan to attack Yecheng. Seeing that the town was about the same distance from Yecheng, Yang Tao brought his men and horses to the town 300 meters away and stopped. Seeing the town surrounded by the earthen wall in the distance, Yang Tao did not intend to attack with the Yellow Turbans. After all, the equipment in their hands was too poor, and they were just going to die when they went up. Yang Tao called Gao Shun and others and Sima Ying's generals. Since Sima Ying was not there, Yang Tao just issued a simple order, hoping that they could cooperate with their actions.

After Yang Tao and others discussed it, they began to prepare troops. Since this time it was a siege battle, facing the three-meter-high earth wall, Yang Tao and others had to prepare for a hurry and then attack the town without siege equipment. Fortunately, the city gates of the town were glued with iron wood and were not very solid. They did not need to use siege equipment such as siege wood to destroy it. Ordinary swords can have a certain ability to destroy, but the effect was not good.

At this time, Gao Shun led the sword and shield soldiers, and they rushed towards the city gate. The infantry followed behind them under the leadership of Changshan and other generals. As for the archers, Yang Tao personally commanded them. However, this time they attacked the system town. Yang Tao and others did not have much advantage. They were affected by the height difference of the earth wall. The range of all archers was greatly limited. Fortunately, there were not many soldiers in this town, with less than 300 archers, not even one-fifth of the archers on Yang Tao's side. In addition, Yang Tao had two thousand Sima Ying's archers to help, so they suppressed the soldiers on the earth wall so that they could not raise their heads. Many soldiers guarding the city were shot by arrows in a scream. Seeing that the attack on the earth wall was suppressed, Gao Shun opened the trap and rushed to the city gate with his sword and shield and began to attack the wooden gate.

With the destructive characteristics of the trapping skills, the shield soldiers led by Gao Shun quickly cut the wooden gate made of iron wood into pieces and were extremely dilapidated. Then the generals of Gao Shunchang Mountain tried hard to make a series of martial arts skills. In the shining of various lights, loud noises accompanied by dust. The entire wooden door was broken and fragments were flying all over the sky. After all the guards behind the door wood were knocked away, they fell into the distance like dumplings covered with scars. Except for the sound of puffing and a small amount of dust, there was no movement. Then the generals rushed into the town and fought and dealt with nearly a thousand soldiers in the town. Yang Tao led a large group of people into the town and temporarily occupied the intermediate town territory as a temporary gathering of people.

"System prompt: Congratulations on your capture of Tanshou Town (giant), a middle-level town in Weijun, Eastern Han Dynasty. The reputation of the Yellow Turban power increased by 30,000, and the reputation of the Eastern Han Dynasty was reduced by 20,000, and you received 3500 points of the Yellow Turban power."

After entering the town, Yang Tao went to the town's treasury to loot a large number of items, but did not rob the rich. Later, Yang Tao found a blacksmith and a carpenter to repair the wooden gate of the town.

Not long after Yang Tao and others captured Zhangshou Town, a fast horse came to Yecheng and escorted the soldiers of Yecheng to the Wei County County Magistrate's Mansion.

In the county magistrate's mansion, when Zhang Ze received the report from the cavalry, he frowned but did not have the intention to send troops to take back Zhangshou Town. Pan Feng, who was beside him, couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Why didn't Ming Gong send troops?"

"Oh, it's not that I don't send troops to recover the lost territory, but that I'm just that the 30,000 county soldiers from Wei County are not able to catch the power of the more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans." Zhang Ze sighed helplessly.

"Ming Gong said this too much underestimates the strength of our county soldiers."

Looking at Pan Feng, who was tall and extremely strong, and looked angry, Zhang Ze did not blame Pan Feng for his rudeness, but said helplessly: "I know that he is unparalleled and brave, but the city is not stable. There are slutty people mingling in the city. If the county soldiers are sent to suppress the thieves at this time, I am afraid that Ye City will be in trouble."

"Ming Gong was worried that Yecheng would be in trouble, so he might as well give him 500 people. I will definitely take down the thief for Ming Gong."

Seeing Pan Feng asking for his appointment, Zhang thought about sending him to test the thief's reality, so he agreed to come, but he still told Pan Feng to be careful in everything.

Pan Feng was overjoyed when he saw this. He seemed to have not heard Zhang Ze's words. He immediately ignited 500 cavalrymen out of Yecheng and headed east.

In Tanshou Town, Yang Tao came to the town courtyard with Sima Ying, and asked, "Brother Sima, you are finally here. The next step is to attack Pingyang City. But I am a little worried about the 50,000 battalions of soldiers in the city. Although I don't know who the commander is, I think it will be difficult to get along with them. Although there are many people in the town, most of them are not strong in combat power, and there is no basic equipment. After I take out the equipment in the town, I will only have a few thousand people, and the food is extremely limited, which is not enough for the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans. How to surround Pingyang City? If the 50,000 battalions of soldiers come out of the city to attack, the Yellow Turbans in my hands may only be defeated with these Yellow Turbans."

"Brother Yang doesn't have to worry about food and grass. Just give me Hunyuan bag and 30,000 Yellow Turbans, and I will get you the food and grass equipment that hundreds of thousands of people need."

"You have a way? It won't be..." Yang Tao heard Sima Ying's words and thought of a possibility. He hesitated on the surface whether to persuade Sima Ying not to do this, otherwise he would establish countless enemies in vain.

"Anyway, I have a way, Brother Yang doesn't have to worry." Sima Ying understood Yang Tao and guessed his plans, so he quickly interrupted Yang Tao and said firmly.

Seeing Sima Ying so determined, Yang Tao stopped talking. After all, this is the only way to solve the current consumption of hundreds of thousands of people. But Yang Tao silently remembered Sima Ying's favor in his heart.

After the two agreed, they began to act separately, and each left the town with their men and set out in different directions.

Many of the Yellow Turbans in the town were family members, so Yang Tao could only leave them in the town first. Then, after leaving behind the three girls of Wei Fangyan and Ji Liangrou, the only female general in Yang Tao's territory and 500 female sword guards, left some soldiers to them to protect the safety of the Yellow Turbans family in the town, he led more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans to leave the town.

Ji Liangrou and 500 female sword guards were all mobilized from Jianghe Town these days. They were originally used to protect Wei Fangyan and the other three. After all, it was not convenient for Yang Tao's camp to be male except for the three women. It was not too embarrassing until later when the Yellow Turban family members were in the family. However, there were very few Yellow Turban family members who were promoted to the ranks. They were not suitable for staying in the camp, so they transferred Ji Liangrou and 500 sword guards. At this time, they were just used to defend this town full of family members. However, Ji Liangrou seemed extremely dissatisfied with Yang Tao's arrangements, so why didn't he let himself go to the battlefield, but he just didn't dare to say it out.

Yang Tao led a large number of people to the north. Yang Tao selected people with the Yellow Turbans on the way to join the subordinates with the strength of level 1 and above. The others were ordered by Yang Tao to escort Pang Zheng to the town with his personal guards for temporary settlement.

After dozens of miles, Yang Tao and his more than 200,000 men came to a city not far from Pingyang City. Although this city is not an administrative city, it is extremely strong. The 50,000 battalions of soldiers stationed in the city are directly under the jurisdiction of the Hanting Court and are not under the jurisdiction of local governments. Even the county magistrates of Wei County have no possibility of mobilizing. Although these 50,000 battalions of soldiers did not reach the level of elite soldiers, they are much higher than the county soldiers. They are all composed of high-level ordinary soldiers. The equipment is no longer black iron-level cloth armor, but bronze-level iron armor, which is much higher than Yang Tao's headquarters.

Facing the city not far away, Yang Tao began to arrange personnel to divide his subordinates into three parts to encircle the three sides of Pingyang City. Gao Shun led all 1,000 shield soldiers and 50,000 Yellow Turban troops to guard the west gate. The west gate was facing Yecheng hundreds of miles away. It was extremely dangerous to defend on this side. Yang Tao sent Gao Shun, the only second-rate general around Yang Tao, to this place.

Jiang Qi led the cavalry, Bolin's spearmen and 50,000 Yellow Turbans to guard the East Gate. Outside the east gate of this city, there were villages and towns thousands of miles away, without too strong forces. It was not until thousands of miles away that a city appeared. It was relatively relaxing, and the terrain on the east side was flattering, which was suitable for cavalry garrisons.

Yang Tao himself guarded the south with more than 100,000 remaining troops, and Pingyang City was surrounded by Yang Tao's army on three sides. The Zhangshui River in the north was left without anyone to be surrounded.
