Since rescuing a fleeing person in the morning, Zhang Hao has been restless.

He felt that something was wrong, and the first few who fled only dared to run to the city at night to seek refuge, because the day was the time for the Yellow Turban thieves.

But this person is swaggering outside the city during the day to call for help, isn't he afraid of attracting thieves?

But he couldn't think of a reason, and he could only think that people had taken the risk to run over when they saw that there was no fighting and were hungry.

Night fell, and nothing happened that day.

But like this, Zhang Hao was still uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something big would happen.

Until the middle of the night, he was still upset and couldn't sleep.

So he put on his clothes, looked at the armor hanging on the wall, and after a while, he put it back on.

Walking out of the door, I happened to see Zheng Meng changing shifts with other guards, and this was the time when this cousin was on duty in the second half of the night.

"Brother, it's so late, why don't you sleep?"

"I can't sleep, you can go out for a walk with me."

In the dark and silent streets, there was no one else except a few pairs of patrolling officers and soldiers. When they met Zhang Hao who came out to hang out, they would quickly make a vigilance, and when they recognized Zhang Hao himself, they would immediately ask him what he was doing so late.

Zhang Hao replied one by one, this is the result of several nights of training.

Now the curfew at night is arranged by Zhang Hao, which is much stricter than before.

In the past, if a family got drunk in the middle of the night and ran out without any incident, the patrol might have to send them home.

But now, no matter who they are, they have to be interrogated, and if they can't tell the reason, they will be arrested as spies immediately.

However, Zhang Hao, as a chief, still has privileges, if others walk out in armor at night, they don't need to ask, they just take it.

While walking, Zhang Hao asked Zheng Meng: "Cousin, have you been the captain of my personal guard with me for the past few years, do you feel wronged?" ”

"Hehe, what grievances are not grievances, I think it's good."

"But with your ability to go to the battlefield, maybe you will be a general now in the past few years."

"Is it okay to fight if you don't like being next to your cousin?"

"But with my current status, I can't give you too much, and you're still just a captain of the guard."

"No, I felt a lot of things from my cousin, and it seemed like I had this feeling before, but since my mother died, I haven't had it anymore.

In fact, I have been very happy in the past few years, I can eat and play as much as I want, I can run around on horseback, and I can fight with people. It's not like at home, where I don't do anything, and everyone bullies me.

Until a few days before my cousin got married, a slave in the family bullied me and was beaten to death, and then I felt that other people looked at me a little wrong, and became very afraid of me. My father took me to your wedding to entrust me to you, and I didn't have my share. ”

Zhang Hao was shocked, no wonder his uncle ignored his son after throwing it to me, so it turned out that this father was too cold-blooded.

"Cousin doesn't want to drive me back, does he?" Zheng Meng said with a smile.

"Why, I'm just chatting with you casually." Zhang Hao also laughed, he felt that this cousin was not stupid, but just a little naïve.

"Don't worry, when my cousin comes, I'll take you to see the whole world and have a good time."

……

Before they knew it, the two had come to the side of the city gate tower.

"Let's go, go up and blow the wind."

It's March, and it's still a little cold in the middle of the night.

Originally, now was supposed to be the time for spring farming, and the people were busy planting the land and working hard for the next year. Instead of being like now, most of the people of the world are all involved in the war.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been put down at the end of the year, this year's people who have not harvested a little will not survive, just like last year's drought.

The magnates were able to survive the hardships with the food they had stockpiled, but no one would take care of them. It's no wonder that wave after wave of yellow turban remnants appeared

These people outside are miserable people, and so are the people who were brutalized by them, everyone is a person who wants to survive in this troubled world.

Suddenly, Zhang Haodi's cranky thoughts were interrupted.

"Brother, look, there are three points of light on the tower of the East Gate Tower." Zheng Meng said with some curiosity.

Spots of light? Zhang Hao looked east, and there were indeed three points of light shaking, which were particularly obvious in the dark night.

With the fire as the signal, such a word suddenly flashed in Zhang Hao's mind, this is the night raid routine used in romance novels. This put him

"Quick, wake everyone up, and follow me to the East Gate."

Outside the city, a large group of Yellow Turban soldiers were already waiting there.

"Brother, ah no, Qu Shuai, there are really people holding torches in the city." Deng Mao said excitedly.

"Well, give me an order, and as soon as the city gate opens, everyone immediately rushes in, but everyone who doesn't wear a yellow scarf on their head is killed."

Li Jie is a captain of the Zhao family's family soldiers, and because of the need for manpower to defend the city, each scholar clan has sent a part of their own family soldiers to participate, and he is among them.

Counting the young and strong in the city, Zhang Hao mobilized a total of 5,000 people, and after all of them were dispersed, there were five parts of the branch, each city gate was guarded by 1,000 people, and the remaining 1,000 people were used as reserves.

And this team of 5,000 people will rotate the defense area every day, and he happened to be on duty at the east gate tonight.

After using a few jars of wine from the Zhao family to put down the other people on duty, Li Jie waited until the third watch to raise a torch on the head of the city.

Then he saw a crowd of people outside the city, and then went down to the city tower to meet several Zhao family soldiers below.

"The men and horses outside the city have arrived, go and open the door!"

As a result, when Zhang Hao arrived at the east gate with more than 500 people, he saw that several figures had already opened the city gate.

"Brothers, rush in and kill all the powerful officials inside!"

"Kill!"

Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao rode horses and rushed in with only more than 50 cavalrymen, but when they passed by Li Jie and the others, they were hacked to death one by one.

"It's... And say... Okay no... The same. Before he died, Li Jie's eyes showed unwillingness and remorse, he was deceived or they were all deceived, and the consequence was that not only did he die, but also dragged his fathers and elders to hell.

After entering the city, they were divided into three teams, 10,000 people followed Cheng Yuanzhi to the north of the government to control the granary, arsenal and other important facilities, 10,000 people followed Deng Mao all the way from east to west, and the remaining 10,000 people were led by each marshal to control the four city gates, which was discussed in advance by them.

It's just that because of the narrow city gate, not too many people can enter at once, and only more than 50 cavalrymen, including the main general, came first.

"Go and get a few people to transfer all the guards in the city to the east gate, and everyone else will follow me, block them back, and kill!"

It's a pity that after Zhang Hao drew his sword and pointed at the Yellow Turban Army and shouted out these words, there were very few people who answered.

He turned his head and found that except for his cousin Zheng Meng and a few guards who had been born and died with him, as well as some of the Zhang family's family soldiers, everyone else began to tremble and unconsciously retreated.

"The rebels... The rebels killed... Kill in, the rebels kill in! Run! ”

As one person retreats and turns to run away, there will be a second one, and in the end, except for Zhang Hao and them, everyone threw down the weapons in their hands, screamed in panic and ran away.

Zhang Hao slowly put down his saber and was silent as he watched their scattered figures.

Yes, after all, they are ordinary people. When defending a city, there is a wall in front of them that gives them a sense of security, so they are fearless and can hold on.

Now there is no such wall to block, even if the number of Yellow Turban troops in front is still very small, but they know that they need to face dozens of times the number of enemies coming in from behind, and they are afraid in their hearts, and it is normal to escape.

It's just that they can't stop Zhang Hao and a few of them alone, so that there will be more and more Yellow Turban troops entering the city.

The only chance to keep the Yellow Turban Army out is gone, and the most important thing now is to hurry home and flee with relatives.

And with Zhang Hao's roar and the shouts of the deserters, the Yellow Turban Army at the east gate had already seen Zhang Hao and others not far away.

"Oh? There are still officers and soldiers present, and they will come here! Deng Mao kicked the horse's belly and rushed towards Zhang Hao and the others with a horse lance.

"Brother, you go first, wait for me to cut this dog thief."

"Well, you hurry up, don't be fooled. You and my brother still want to go through this great river and mountain together. After speaking, Zhang Hao led people to run home, and his house was dozens of steps away behind him.

But Zhang Hao hadn't run far yet, and Deng Mao had already come to Zheng Meng.

"None of you can escape, all the officials should die, kill you first. Die! ”

As he spoke, Deng Mao took advantage of the speed of the horse to stab at Zheng Meng, but he was not as fast as Zheng Meng.

I saw Zheng Meng dodge Deng Mao's stab sideways, and as soon as he grasped the lance with his left hand, his body was as stable as Mount Tai, and he ripped Deng Mao off the horse.

Deng Mao, who fell to the ground, let out a cry of pain, and before he could react, he only felt a pain in his neck, and then he didn't feel anything at all.

"Who else!" Zheng Meng shouted, and the whole person stood there like an insurmountable mountain.

When Cheng Yuanzhi saw that the deputy general was killed, he was immediately furious: "Give it all to me, kill this dog official." ”

More than twenty Yellow Turban cavalry immediately rode their horses and rushed towards Zheng, followed by hundreds of Yellow Turban troops who had already entered the city.

Seeing this, Zheng Meng turned around and rode on Deng Mao's horse, and immediately ran: "You bastards, didn't you fight alone just now!" ”

In an instant, Zheng Meng had already come to the gate of Zhang's mansion, dismounted and entered the door, and Zhang Hao blocked the door with more than a dozen people.

And the house gradually became brighter, and the family was slowly woken up.

"Cousin, let's block here for a while, and when everyone is here, let's kill them again."

"Hehe, okay, I promise not to let anyone in."
