The scorching summer sun made people's hearts dizzy and sleepy, especially for the guards guarding the gates of the dock fort, it was especially boring.

As we all know, the army of national thieves who set out from Luoyang has set up camp on the hill ten miles to the west, digging ditches, not to mention the place where they camped, backed by mountains and rivers, covered with dense forests, patrolling seven posts three times all day long, and most of the scouts entering the forest two miles away will be shot to death by random arrows.

At this time, no one would think that Ma Yue's army would carry out any surprise attack against the sun.

Hou's Wu Fort also has a three-zhang high wall and 500 defenders, not to mention that the north is eight miles away from Yanshi City, once the enemy siege reinforcements can arrive in half an hour, the defenders can sit back and relax.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed scout stood in the castle tower and put his hand between his eyebrows, looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance and pointed: "Eh, look, is there someone over there?" ”

Suddenly, the guards on the dock fort came to their senses and looked at each other, didn't they?

From a distance, I saw more than 100 cavalrymen throwing away their armor and galloping towards the dock fort, and there were also cavalrymen who were proficient in horsemanship waving their hands vigorously, looking extremely anxious.

"Who are they? Could it be Ma Yue's conspiracy? ”

No one has heard that there are so many external scouts recently, not to mention that there will be no troops out at the moment, whose soldiers and horses can this be? Needless to say, the main general, a question that a small scout can figure out.

It must be Ma Yue's people, who didn't run!

The smoke and dust were billowing and the mile was passing in a blink of an eye, and the cavalry was even more uneasy, and kept roaring towards the dock fort, many of them did not even have weapons, and the cavalry who was next to the head of the man was still holding a corpse, and rushed to the dock fort with a whip.

"Look behind them!"

As the sharp-eyed scout pointed into the distance, everyone saw the smoke and dust billowing from the large group of people and horses in the distance, and there were hundreds of people at a cursory glance, all of whom were wearing strong hair, and each of them was competing for the lead with sharp blades in their hands, among which the flag spears were lined up, and the horse-shaped banner was particularly conspicuous.

Hu Cai stretched out his bow and arrows, and threw the rain of arrows forward, and in an instant, several of the cavalry in front fell from their horses.

At this time, the scouts on the dock fort realized that this matter might not be as simple as they thought.

Under Sun Jian's order to guard Hou Shiwu, it was his close confidant Zhu Zhi, who was also invited to the city tower by the scouts at this moment, looking at the cavalry below being shot down and chased by Hu Cai, and his brows were also tightly furrowed, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was.

"Allies in the city? I am the vanguard Yu She's subordinate military marquis, snatch back the corpse of the pioneer, and ask the city general to open the door to rescue me! ”

As soon as the general who led the cavalry shouted, more than forty cavalrymen followed also cried together: "Please open the door, general!" ”

"Please open the door, General!"

Zhu Zhi stamped the city with both hands, frowned and looked down, Hu Cai got closer and closer, and saw that he was more than a thousand steps away, and those cavalrymen took Yu She's corpse to play horses under the city.

"Please open the door quickly! Brothers, fight to the death in Imon! ”

Zhu Zhi watched the half hundred remnants of the city dismount and line up, and watched them turn their backs to the dock fort and rely on the city gate to fight against the water, and gritted his teeth.

Don't you save yourself when you die? He was tormenting himself in his heart.

The Hu cavalry got closer and closer, and they once again raised their strong bows and stretched out their bows and arrows.

With a slap of the city stampede, Zhu Zhi turned around and picked up his weapon and ran down the stairs to the city, giving orders: "Prepare for war, open the door!" ”

The wooden fence behind the city gate was removed, the gate was opened, and a projectile arrow flew through Zhu Zhi's cheek, and the vibration of galloping horses was heard under his feet, and those horsemen were about to rush into the city at most a hundred paces.

But Zhu Zhi did not have the slightest fear, and shouted to Yuan Shu's defeated army with a sinking face: "Quickly enter the city, quickly!" ”

The resolute Vice Adjutant General Yu She, clenched his fists slightly, with an indescribable expression on his face, and waved his hand, and those soldiers in array rushed into the city gate.

The soldiers crowded and collided in the narrow city gate hole, Zhu Zhi frowned, his sharp gaze crossed the expressions on everyone's faces, and finally fixed on Yu She's corpse, which was casually abandoned with the horses outside the city, his pupils widened as if they were stabbed by the tip of a needle.

"Be careful...... Put the hanging door! ”

The guards of the dock fort drew their swords, Zhu Zhi pointed at the city gate and roared, Xu Huang crossed the spear and pushed it on Zhu Zhi's body, and the cavalry armor soldiers showed their weapons.

Screaming, colliding, slashing, retreating.

Xu Huang held the spear on his head, and behind the spear was Zhu Zhi, who was almost knocked over, and the four guards who drew their weapons were pushed out a few steps, and then Xu Huang was kicked to the ground and rolled over.

But this is enough, almost instantly, the cavalry armor has rushed out of the city gate hole with a long knife, slashing and slashing in the dock fort, Xu Huang turned over and saw the back of the defender general running up to the city, and grabbed the back of the neck of a guard who was desperately closing the city gate, and even the helmet and the person hit the wall, and the Hu cavalry who picked up the knife and galloped towards the door urged loudly: "Yun Chang, hurry!" ”

It's too late, it's too soon.

The person who led the troops of Hu Cai was the nine-foot mighty Guan Yu, who kept urging the horse, Guan Yu had thrown off the Hu cavalry behind him dozens of steps away, and had run to the front of the city gate, the guards on the city stomp opened their bows and arrows, Guan Yu grabbed the shawl cloak and galloped and danced, and the arrows could not be hit.

Zhu Zhi also panicked, kicked and kicked away the guards who were pulling the hanging door lock, and cut the wooden pillar with a knife, and the iron rope went down in response.

"Bang la la la!"

The iron rope was exhausted, and Zhu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the city.

At the moment of the hanging door, Guan Yu's crotch under the horse is like flying, and the horse's belly is clamped so that the horse gallops like flying, and the horse's body can run into the city gate, and the hanging door also goes down. Guan Yu raised his palm, although the hanging door of the Hou family Wu was not as good as Xiao Guan's thousand-pound gate, Guan Yu did not have the newborn Ma Sanlang by his side. The iron gate came down with the sound of the whistling wind, and it was smashing on the palm of Guan Yu's held up, and the foot did not touch the ground, and the palm was difficult to lift. With a "clang" in his ears, the hanging door slammed on his shoulders and carried Mount Tai in the north, which made Guan Yu lower his head.

Where is the heavy burden that the horse's four hooves can hold, and he knelt on the ground at the moment, afraid that he would break the horse's legs.

As soon as Guan Yu's legs hit the ground, his knees were bent, and his broad back was bent, but he still pushed up the hanging door with his own strength.

Xu Huang was stunned on the spot, and Yu Guang saw that the soldiers in the Wubao Fort were frightened by Guan Yu's amazing strength, but there were also people who were ready to shoot with bows and arrows.

"Yun Chang be careful!" At that moment, Xu Huang flew up, and his back was blocked in front of Guan Yu with the arrows that came from him, "Flutter!" With a sound, the arrow broke through the armor, Xu Huang made a muffled sound, and shouted with blood in his mouth: "Enter the city!" ”

Hu Cai still rushed to the front, and each of the horses leaned over and rushed into the city from Guan Yu's left and right.

Guan Yu's legs trembled, his ears were deaf, his brows were furrowed and he felt the cavalry on both sides of his body roaring into the city, he knew that he couldn't hold out for long, but he only hoped that he would hold on for a moment longer, even if it was a moment.

Xu Huang blocked the flying arrows in front of him, the sound of the arrows piercing the armor kept echoing in his ears, looking at Xu Huang with blood in his mouth, he couldn't say a word, his cheeks were even redder, and his eyes were wrinkled and narrowed.

"General, quickly release the hanging door, the cavalry has all entered the city!"

I don't know how long it took, the city gate cave was full of shouting and scolding and the cries of the guards who entered the dock to burn and loot, Guan Yu could hear such a sound like heaven, and his mind relaxed, and his legs were almost crushed by the hanging door.

"Uh...... Belch...... Yes! ”

Guan Yu's eyes widened suddenly, his legs kicked straight to the ground again, his shoulders arched upwards hard, and he lifted the hanging door up a few inches again, and at the same time, his arms slammed the hanging door upwards with all his strength, and he lifted it up stiffly, straight over the top of Guan Yu's head, taking advantage of this moment, his body suddenly rushed forward and rolled on the ground.

"Bang!"

The hanging door fell again, and this time, it completely sealed Hou Shiwu.

Guan Yu was covered in dust, the cloak was rolled with dirt and draped on his head, Guan Yu grabbed it and threw it on the ground, moved his body twice, made a series of brittle bones, tilted his head, and looked at Xu Huang.

Xu Huang's condition was not very good, he was hit by three arrows in his back, all of them were armor-broken, and his back was drenched in blood, which looked a little terrifying. However, after careful investigation, Guan Yu found that the arrow did not penetrate deep into the flesh, and his life was safe.

"Brother is about to break the city, don't worry about me."

Guan Yu nodded, assigned a few Hu cavalry to guard Xu Huang, drew out the ring knife and strode up to the city.

Hou Shiwu's beacon fire was ignited, the black smoke that soared into the sky was very conspicuous in the daytime, the surrounding ridges were trampled by war horses, the pavilion was ten rooms and nine empty, the people of Sili left their hometowns, and the returnees who went away had to look at the broken hometown with tears and embark on an unknown road.

Luoyang used to be the richest city in the Han Dynasty, and the people of Luoyang used to be the proudest people in the world, and they were the people closest to the Son of Heaven.

And now, the people of Liangzhou are in charge of the court, and there are few subservients in the world, so they take the risk of disapproval and raise troops to fight against them...... In the eyes of the people, the war was brought by Ma Yue.

In the first month of the war, nearly 30,000 households left their hometowns.

This number, placed in Liangzhou, means that the entire Jiuquan County has become a ghost town.

On the third hour after Guan Yu and Xu Huang captured Hou Wu, Ma Yue, who led his troops hidden in the mountains and forests to inspect the information sent back by a group of scouts, did not know how much impact the county guards raised troops in the future this time, and he did not know how many Taishou and assassin Shi rebels in the world, he only thought that as long as Sun Jian and Yuan Shu's coalition army were leveled this time, he would be able to put the world back on track.

It's like subverting the court on your own.

"Report! General, Sun Jian sent troops, marched south from the city of Yanshi, and marched straight to Hou Shiwu. The scout rushed forward, and after falling off the horse, he stumbled and almost fell, knelt down and said: "More than a thousand foot soldiers, five hundred war horses." ”

Ma Yue frowned his forehead, Sun Jian sent troops at this time, the intention was that Hou Wu could understand him, but could it be that Sun Jian thought that his Jiangdong Lion only needed more than a thousand men and horses to recapture Yanshi City?

"General, don't we send troops to help General Guan?"

Faced with the questions of his subordinates, Ma Yue stubbornly waved his hand and said: "Don't act rashly first, move south to Hou's ten miles, but remember not to expose our department, send scouts to investigate the Yanshi defenders, and order the scouts to keep an eye on the direction of Xuanyuan Pass and Taigu Pass, search around Hou's Wu, and report back as soon as they find something." ”

The captured Hou Shi Wu was the bait released by Ma Yue, intending to lure out Sun Jian, a big fish, once and for all.

But now, Ma Yue looked at the mountains in the distance, he didn't know that such a painless army of more than 1,000 troops was Sun Jian's elite...... Or is it his bait?
