It was early spring, the spring breeze was like a bath, and the sun was rising in the east.

Li Kui, who was tall and dark-skinned, strode at the forefront of the procession with a pair of board axes in his hand, while behind him, four thousand horsemen followed closely, marching south without stopping.

As for Dong Ping, another pioneer general, he was depressed because of what happened before the army, and after two days of travel, he excused himself to stay in a small town to rest.

Li Kui was rude and arrogant, and along the way, he kept urging his military horses to speed up the march, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xuchang County, the border county under the rule of Dongping County.

It was probably at noon that four thousand Qingzhou bandit soldiers with the battle flag of the Tang Army were killed under the county seat, and the county soldiers defending the city were killed by surprise and lost the city gate in the blink of an eye.

Although the military horses under Song Jiang are nominally Tang Army, the banditry in their bones has not changed. Li Kui, who leads the army, is a brainless reckless man, where does he know how to restrain military discipline? After the hundreds of soldiers in front of them entered the city, they relaxed military discipline, killed people everywhere, set fires, and plundered.

The atrocities of the bandits soon aroused the anger of the people, and many young and strong people spontaneously armed themselves and fought to the death for the safety of their families and the soldiers and horses of the bandits who rushed into the city.

Chen Yuan, the county lieutenant of Xuchang County, was born in martial arts and had a bit of martial arts. Although the city gates were lost, he did not choose to abandon the city and flee. Instead, he quickly gathered a thousand county soldiers in the city, and suddenly launched a counter-charge when the bandits were not firmly established, and with the help of the young and strong people in the city, they recaptured the city gate and killed hundreds of bandit soldiers.

The county magistrate Xu De is also a child of a poor family who was born in the imperial examination, and he deeply feels Yang Gao's great kindness. Now that the rebel soldiers are approaching the city, he is also determined to repay the country with death, stabilize the people's hearts in the city, search for the bandits who are still stranded in the city, and quickly recruit nearly 2,000 young people to go to the city wall to assist Chen Yuan in defending the city.

"Damn, give me a siege, you must take the city for me!"

Li Kui saw that the city gate that had been won was taken back by the Sui army, and the soldiers and horses who rushed into the city were driven out in a swarm, and hundreds of soldiers were lost. Dengshi was furious, stamped his feet and pointed at the city gate and shouted.

Li Kui has a fiery temper, and many soldiers have been beaten by him. In addition, he is Song Jiang's confidant, and no one in the whole army dares to provoke him, and they all respect him.

At this moment, hearing him roaring and ordering, these bandits with lazy military discipline did not dare to slack off, cheered up and regrouped, and carried the ladder straight under the city wall under the rain of arrows shot from the city.

"Let go of the wood and stones, and stoning to death these evil thieves who have lost their conscience and rebelled against their ways!"

Chen Yuan saw that the ladders were set up on the city one after another, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and shouted at his soldiers.

"County lieutenant, look, that big black guy is very likely to be the head of this group of bandits!"

A soldier with sharp eyes saw Li Kui, who was wielding a plate axe and dancing his teeth and claws under the city, and immediately pointed at him and Chen Yuan and said.

Chen Yuan looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and also saw Li Kui, and immediately nodded: "Yes, this person must be the leader of the bandits." Someone, get my bow and arrows! ”

The soldiers behind him hurriedly handed Chen Yuan's bow and crossbow, Chen Yuan took the bow and crossbow, and immediately bent the bow and arrows, and shot Li Kui under the city.

Sou!

The sharp arrow shot out like a meteor catching the moon, but because the distance was too far, the arrow still missed a little and landed on Li Kui's left arm.

"Wow, the hateful rats, dare to hurt people with secret arrows!"

This arrow completely stimulated Li Kui's murderous nature, he glared at Chen Yuan who was still standing with a bow at the head of the city with resentment, raised his hand and pulled out the crossbow arrow, and immediately roared, brandishing the plate axe and striding forward.

"Ding Dong, Li Kui has been detected to have entered a killing state, force +6, base force 89, and the current force has risen to 95."

"Ding Dong, Li Kui's four-dimensional ability has been detected, commander 58, force 89, intelligence 32, and politics 24."

"Huh? Why did Li Kui suddenly appear? Could it be that Song Jiang has made some big moves? ”

Yang Gao, who was riding his horse to Xuzhou to greet Princess Yicheng, suddenly heard the prompt sound of the system, and suddenly the second monk was confused and didn't know what was going on.

Under the city of Xuchang County, Li Kui wielded a pair of plate axes in his hand impenetrable, and from time to time he knocked the arrows that were shot at him to the ground, and rushed to the city wall without stopping. Holding the ladder with one hand and holding two plate axes in the other, he staggered upward.

"Quick, release the arrow, shoot that big black man, don't let him climb up!"

Chen Yuan saw that Li Kui was unstoppable all the way, and secretly said that something was wrong, and hurriedly commanded his crossbowmen to fire arrows at Li Kui.

"Drink!"

Li Kui wielded a plate axe to shoot feather arrows, and on the other hand, he struggled to climb up, seeing that he was close to the city, he let out an angry roar when he landed, and climbed the city wall one by one.

"Wow, dare to stop me Iron Bull, you all deserve to die!"

Li Kui coldly looked around at the Sui soldiers who were surrounding him, brandished a pair of board axes and rushed into the crowd and slashed them wantonly, until the corpses of the Sui soldiers were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

"Damn, you thief, I'm fighting with you today!"

Chen Yuan shouted angrily, abandoned his bow and spear, strode forward, and met Li Kui: "Eat me with a shot!" ”

"Ding Dong, Chen Yuan has been detected to be in a state of struggle, force +2, base force 78, and the current force has risen to 80."

"Ding Dong, the four-dimensional ability of the local military general Chen Yuan has been detected, 76 commanders, 78 military forces, 64 intelligence, and 59 politics."

"Who is Chen Yuan? Is it my general? ”

Hearing the system's prompt tone again, Yang Gao still didn't know why. Although Chen Yuan was a Jinshi from Wuju, he was also received by Yang Gao. But this four-dimensional ability is a dragon-level character at a glance, and Yang Gao naturally can't bother to record it.

"With your three-legged cat's kung fu, you want to deal with me?" Li Kui snorted coldly disdainfully, his left hand plate axe passed through Chen Yuan's spear, and his right hand plate axe went straight to Chen Yuan's neck.

Hearing only a "poof" sound, Chen Yuan's head rolled to the ground with a gurgling sound, and the red blood spurted out of the cavity and splashed all over the ground, staining the big bluestones on the ground red.

"Ding Dong, it was detected that Chen Yuan was killed by Li Kui, and the host obtained 8 soul points, and the current total number of soul points has risen to 131."

"It's really a general under me, could it be that Song Jiang used troops against me?" Yang Gao was a little uncalm, turned his head and ordered Yuwen Chengdu behind him: "Chengdu, immediately send scouts to Qingzhou to investigate, and report back as soon as there is a situation!" ”

Although Yuwen Chengdu didn't understand why Yang Gao suddenly gave the order, he still gave his hand: "Yes, the last general will arrange it!" ”

Chen Yuan was killed by Li Kui's axe on the city of Xuchang, and the defenders of the city head were in chaos, and the rebels who besieged the city were demoralized, everyone was brave, and they all competed for the first, killing and scattering the defenders, cutting the iron cables and putting down the drawbridge, opening the city gate and letting the army horses enter the city.
