Chapter 230

While Yang Tao arranged the guards on the city wall, he sent people to learn about the situation of the other three walls, and dragged his tired body back to the city gate tower to rest.

After he had a meal, except for the generals who stayed behind the city walls on all sides, all the generals came to the Dongcheng Gate Tower to meet Yang Tao, and at the same time reported on the current situation in the city.

At present, the most troublesome thing about Yang Tao and others is that they lack the city guarding equipment. An Ci has very few cities guarding equipment. Although Yang Tao has some equipment drawings in his hand, he did not expect to be attacked before. Now he doesn't have that much time to build it.

What's worse is that after fierce fighting during the day, the arrow towers, beds and crossbows on the city walls have been damaged and cannot be repaired in a short time. However, the enemy outside the city has a large number of excellent siege equipment in their hands, which is extremely unfavorable for them.

After a day of fierce battle, there were only more than 180,000 Yellow Turbans left in Anci City, and each was injured. However, there were still as many as 700,000 to 800,000 outside the city. Without the equipment to defend the city, it would be difficult to resist the enemy's siege tomorrow. Now it is time for Yang Tao to make the decision to stay or leave.

He thought for a long time, but finally did not decide to evacuate. If millions of Yellow Turban families abandoned the city walls, they would be more likely to be attacked by the enemy in the wilderness, but they would find it difficult to guard against the enemy's sneak attacks. Now there is only one way, which is to attack the enemy's barracks at night, destroy the siege equipment in it, and buy time for the Yellow Turban Army to build defending equipment.

Since he decided to attack the camp, Yang Tao began to pick people, selected 60,000 people who were less injured, and formed two battalions, with Gao Shun leading one battalion, and Yang Tao himself also led the first battalion.

The main purpose of this attack was to destroy the siege equipment. He prepared to divide his troops into two groups. No matter which one of them succeeded, he must evacuate in time to avoid being surrounded by the enemy.

Late at night, everything was silent, the gate of Anci City quietly opened, and a group of people came out of the gate without ignition, and directly touched the enemy camp dozens of miles away.

After arriving within ten miles of the enemy's military camp, Yang Tao and Gao each took a battalion of troops to approach both sides of the military camp.

The enemy's barracks were in the northeast, and Yang Tao led his men to the northwest of the barracks. In order not to be seen, Yang Tao activated his raid commander skills after entering 5 miles, and enveloped a battalion of people behind him in the night. Just as Yang Tao and others came to the enemy's barracks less than a mile, a commotion occurred in the southeast, which shocked Yang Tao. Could it be that he had been seen?

Yang Tao immediately waved his hand and let the troops behind him stay where they were. After waiting quietly for a few minutes, he did not hear any other sound except when the enemy was constantly moving southeast. It was obvious that they did not appear, so he felt relieved.

"Gao Shun's road may have been revealed. It seems that this team of people who don't know where they come from still have some talented people. Fortunately, I have the powerful skill of running and the special effect of hiding whereabouts. As long as it is not a high-level skill such as famous general skills or literati skills, I cannot show up, otherwise I will be in vain tonight. However, this team of people will not have famous generals, otherwise I will not be able to defend Anci City during the day." Yang Tao thought to himself, but he quietly touched it, trying to attack before the end of the raid skills.

Yang Tao didn't know what happened outside the city of Jixian not long ago, but he didn't have time to inquire about the origin of this team. When the siege equipment was destroyed, he naturally had time to figure out these things.

Less than a minute, the Yellow Turbans with the bonus of the raid skills were extremely fast, but there was no sound coming close. They crossed a mile like ghosts and came to the vicinity of the enemy's barracks.

This military camp was not surrounded by wooden fences. Maybe it was because I felt that the Yellow Turban Army in Anci City had suffered heavy losses, so I didn’t build a fence. At this time, there were only countless tents and some torches in the camp.

When he arrived here, Yang Tao did not stop and rushed up with his men without saying a word.

Yang Tao, who rushed into the enemy's barracks, did not encounter any decent resistance. It must have been the noise that followed before, that soldiers around him went to chase Gao Shun and others.

"It's good, so I'll waste some effort." Yang Tao thought to himself, so he rushed into the inside of the military camp with the Yellow Turban soldiers, constantly killing the enemy soldiers along the way, setting a fire to make the enemy soldiers chaotic, so that they could destroy the siege equipment.

As they went deeper, the denser the internal camp tents became, and more soldiers became. Yang Tao and others were moving forward a lot. Fortunately, they did not encounter strong people, and the number of enemy soldiers was not too large. Yang Tao's battalion could continue to move forward.

At this time, in a camp, a woman in a painted skirt was awakened by the noise outside. After shouting a few times, a maid ran in and cried, "Miss, there are Yellow Turban soldiers rushing into the military camp. Miss, let's run away quickly, the Yellow Turban soldiers are almost here."

"Okay." Yi Ji was shocked when she heard this. When she packed up her things and was about to leave, a general wearing yellow turbans rushed in with a group of soldiers wrapped in yellow turbans. She was a little dull when she saw Yi Ji.

When Yi Ji saw the yellow turbans on their heads and the weapons that were still bleeding on their hands, she said in a panic, "Don't come over" while retreating helplessly.

After hearing the beautiful woman in front of him, Yang Tao woke up and then was speechless. He had been searching in the camp for a long time but had not found where the siege equipment was. He wanted to catch someone and ask. There was such a tent nearby, so Yang Tao rushed in. However, the difference from what Yang Tao thought was that there was a beautiful woman in the tent, which made him stunned for a moment.

But this made Yi Ji mistakenly think that Yang Tao was a lustful person. In addition, Yang Tao was wrapped in a yellow turban, which was obviously from the Yellow Turban. No wonder Yi Ji showed such a scared expression. Yang Tao also roughly knew what the woman in front of him was thinking. He didn't know what to say except for his helplessness.

Yang Tao was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he thought about something, turned around and looked at the woman hiding in the corner behind him, and looked at the arrangement in the tent. She was wearing very well and was in the center of the military camp. The tent she lived in was also very good, with many precious decorations. Even if Yang Tao didn't know who the woman in front of him was, he could think that this woman must be an important figure in this group of people, so he walked towards Yi Ji.

When Yi Ji saw Yang Tao coming, she hurriedly grabbed a dagger and put it on her neck, and said tremblingly: "Don't come over."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Tao sighed and turned around and seemed to be leaving, which made Yi Ji feel relaxed. The dagger on his neck was loosened a little, but Yang Tao did not want to leave. Instead, he took out a fragment of star stone from his backpack, turned around and threw it at the dagger on Yi Ji's hand, and Yang Tao also ran over.

"bite!"

The fragments of the Star Stone knocked the dagger away. Yi Ji looked at Yang Tao who was approaching. Before she could shout in horror, Yang Tao quickly reached out and hit the back of her head, and fainted.

Yi Ji closed her eyes and fell to the ground, and was taken into her hand by Yang Tao. She looked at the woman in front of her who was not inferior to Wei Fangyan. In the horrified eyes of the maid, Yang Tao carried her on her shoulders and ordered her subordinates to take the beautiful maid away, and then took her subordinates away.

"It seems that today is going to be back in vain." Yang Tao carried Yi Ji on his shoulder, but he was thinking about how to face the enemy's siege tomorrow. He called his subordinates to leave the chaotic military camp with some headaches to avoid causing any more trouble.

It was already late at night when I returned to Anci County. When I saw Gao Shun at the city gate, Yang Tao felt relieved.

Yang Tao looked at the woman who was still asleep on the horse's back and didn't know what to do. It seemed that it was not good to put her in the city lord's mansion. After all, she was different from Liu Ming. Liu Ming had a soft personality and was strong on the inside. Although she was soft on the surface, she was a strong woman. Otherwise, she could not raise her daughter alone. She had the status of a princess and could keep herself clean and live a poor life. Since Liu Ming agreed to be a hostage, Yang Tao also knew that she would not cause any trouble.

But he didn't know much about the woman on Yang Tao's shoulders. He snatched her from him, so it was definitely not suitable to take her into the city lord's mansion.

At this time, Yang Tao thought of a place to go, so he got off the horse and pulled the white horse carrying Yi Ji to a mansion in the inner city.

The Yi family was imprisoned in this mansion. Because the Yi family had food, Yang Tao locked them in this mansion and sent a lot of Yellow Turban soldiers to guard the surroundings and the inner courtyard, hoping to get some food and grass in the future. The place where Yang Tao thought of resettled the woman on the horse was here.

Although he didn't know who the woman on the horse was, his identity was definitely not simple, so it was still very appropriate to lock her up here.

When he arrived at the door of this mansion, a little yellow turban leader came to salute Yang Tao. After Yang Tao waved his hand to ask them to retreat, he carried the woman on his horse and asked his subordinates to escort the maid and entered the mansion with the person holding the lights.

This mansion is still very large, and the pavilions are also good. Although it is late at night, you can still see the vague shadows under the lights.

The Yellow Turban soldiers in the mansion were guarding each three steps, one post, one five steps, one sentry. Yang Tao found a room in it and placed the woman on the bed. He looked at the maid and said, "You can stay and take care of this woman. You are not allowed to leave the room. If you have anything, please notify the person outside the door."

"No!" the maid responded with her head down.

When Yang Tao saw it, he left the mansion without saying anything and went to the city lord's mansion to deal with the enemy's attack tomorrow.
