"Ding! The siege of Julu begins!"
Following the system's command, the imperial NPC soldiers pushed ladders one after another and quickly approached the city wall.
At this moment, countless players are following the ladder truck, eager to climb the city wall as soon as possible.
Behind them, rows of heavy crossbows were ready to fire at any time.
Seeing the ladder truck getting closer and closer to the city wall, the archers on the top of the city wall were the first to pull the bowstring.
"Swish swish~"
The first to be hit were the soldiers pushing the ladder truck, and they fell to the ground one after another.
But this did not affect the speed of the ladder truck, and someone quickly took over and continued pushing the truck.
"Swish swish~"
Then the archers on the city wall took action, and another group of soldiers pushing carts fell down.
At this time, there was no reaction from the city, and everyone just moved forward.
The archers on the city wall attacked the NPC soldiers below unscrupulously, hoping to slow down their advance.
The soldiers pushing the carts seemed to fall down continuously, but their losses were not particularly great.
The ladder trucks provided special protection for the soldiers, and at most they were only injured, not fatally.
The players behind him were holding shields in their hands, and ordinary bows and arrows would not cause fatal damage to them either.
Zhang Bao, who was hiding in a dark room on the city wall and observing what was happening below the city, felt unhappy.
"General, look at the imperial crossbows below, ready to fire at any moment."
"Alas~ I'm afraid we're in danger this time. Let's take a look at the situation first and make a decision later."
"yes!"
At this moment, the ladder truck also approached the city wall, and the heavy crossbow that had been silent for a long time finally came into use after the order to fire was given.
"Swoosh, swoosh~"
The heavy arrow pierced the sky and landed on the city wall in an instant with the sound of wind.
After countless screams, the city wall fell into silence.
The corpses on the city wall were stabbed into the bricks, and there was no living creature on the top of the city wall.
Zhang Bao closed his eyes weakly. He didn't want to struggle anymore.
"Let's go! Activate the teleportation array immediately and let's retreat."
"General, that won't work. Too many people have been coming in and out this past year, and the teleportation array's energy stones were used up the day before yesterday. We don't have any replacements."
"What! Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"General, it was you who said that we should live and die with Julu."
Zhang Bao is tying himself up in knots.
If Zhu Jun and the others had already calculated this, they would have wanted Julu to use up all the energy stones in advance.
Zhang Bao and his men did not have any energy stone ore in their hands, so once the energy was used up, the teleportation array would naturally become useless.
"I~fuck!"
Zhang Bao cursed for the first time. What else can he do now?
The only way is to break through.
"Let our soldiers continue to defend the city and resist the imperial attack. According to reliable information, if the city walls are lost this time, we will be in danger of being massacred."
It was impossible for Zhang Bao not to know the news released by the court.
But there was no way he could stay.
After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Zhang Bao is now about to summon his personal guards, the Yellow Turban strongmen, to prepare to leave the city.
In order not to affect the morale of the army, he directly ordered his personal guards to come to the city lord's mansion, as if he was ready to share life and death with everyone.
But no one expected that after they entered the City Lord's Mansion, they never came out again.
"Everyone, speed up. Although it stinks a bit here, we can leave safely."
The guards didn't dare to say anything at this moment. It was better to be infamous than to die.
But they didn't know why the general would abandon the city and flee.
You have to know that their brothers are still fighting desperately with the court, but they have become deserters.
Zhang Bao carefully led his personal guards out of the secret passage and came to a hidden drainage outlet.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he asked everyone to come out.
He started building this secret passage secretly after he occupied Julu.
The secret passage is not really a secret passage.
He just connected the tunnel of the City Lord's Mansion with the city sewer.
Normally, no one would go to the sewer, and no one knew that this secret passage led to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Alright, let's go. As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Don't worry about Julu anymore. We've been holding on for over a year now, and there's really no way we can hold on any longer."
Zhang Bao looked towards Julu reluctantly, as this was the place he had fought for.
He originally thought that this would be the starting point of his struggle, but unexpectedly it would also be the end point.
"General, where are we going?"
This really stumped Zhang Bao.
"Yeah, where are we going?"
At this moment, Zhang Bao kept thinking about the various counties of the Han Dynasty in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out where they would settle down.
Finally, he could only say helplessly:
"Let's keep going along this road until we get out of Julu."
Zhang Bao couldn't decide now whether to occupy the mountain and become the king or continue to seize a small city.
He understood that with the fall of Julu, the situation of the Yellow Turban Army would become increasingly difficult.
Now we can only take one step at a time.
…
As they walked, they came to a slope.
"Okay, we're almost there. Let's rest here for a while."
After walking for most of the day, the guards were tired.
Just as they were sitting down to rest, a voice sounded above their heads, making them stand up hurriedly again.
"Hahaha, you guys really have time to spare. The other Yellow Turban soldiers are fighting desperately in the city, but you're just sitting here resting."
"It's you? Why are you here?"
When Zhang Bao saw Fengyun, an expression of surprise was written all over his face.
"Why can't I be here? I've been waiting for you for so long."
"Humph! Are you alone? Are you here to die?"
When Zhang Bao saw that Feng Yun was the only one there, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt for him, but Feng Yun's next words made him look ashen.
"Really? Brothers, come out. Let's see who's here to die."
Just as Fengyun finished speaking, three thousand cavalrymen appeared above their heads, and each of them was well-equipped and looked extremely powerful.
"What! You actually have so many cavalry? But what does having a large number of people mean? My men are the most elite Yellow Turban warriors in the Yellow Turban Army. Do you think you can resist us with just your cavalry?"
Fengyun was very disdainful of Zhang Bao's arrogance.
"Really? Not to mention that you're exhausted now, even if you've rested enough, what can you do? Can you withstand their impact?"
"Humph! My Yellow Turban warrior is invulnerable to swords and spears."
"Hahaha, fine. Let's give it a try. Brothers, since they refuse to obey, let's kill them. Charge!"
At this time, Zhang Bao could only blame himself for being rude.
At such a close distance, the enemy cavalry would arrive in the blink of an eye.
They first knocked their own Yellow Turban strongmen several meters away, and then continued to charge.
