The sound of hooves shook and dust flew.

Hundreds of Dong army cavalry almost lay their entire bodies on horseback, beating their horses and whipping them desperately, and no one even dared to look back.

The terrible enemy, who had killed more than a thousand grain convoys at the snap of his fingers, hung tightly behind him, and once surrounded by them, he would surely die. And those enemy horsemen wrapped their horses' hooves in thick silks, and no one knew if they were now raising their swords behind them....... only to run, run faster!

The majestic walls of Chang'an City were in sight, and an officer of the Dong Army, who was rushing to the forefront, finally swallowed back a heart that almost jumped out of his chest...... No matter how fierce the enemy army is, they will not dare to chase down the city at the risk of thousands of arrows from the city.

He turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he didn't see the shadow of half of the enemy's horseman.

The officer froze before shouting in a slightly changed tone: "Enemy attack! Enemy Attack ...... Sound the alarm gong! ”

One of the heralds behind him also came to his senses, drew a small mallet in one hand, and struck wildly at the gong hanging from his waist.

On the long city walls of Chang'an City, the sound of dense gongs also resounded in all directions. A group of Dong soldiers frantically poured up to the city from all the roads, swords out of sheaths and arrows on the battlefield.

A Dong army general looked into the distance with his hands on a pergola, his gaze quickly passed the approaching figure of his own cavalry, and swept towards a farther place. When he finally caught the dust that was gradually rising in the distance, he said in a deep voice: "Go to the Taishi Mansion immediately to report, and the unknown enemy army has been found in the southwest...... Three thousand cavalry, our army is completing the deployment! ”

"Do you need to ring the alarm bells?" An officer immediately asked.

"This .......," the general muttered. Each gate of Chang'an has a huge bronze bell, once ringing it can sound the whole city, and can only be used when the city gate is likely to be lost and is in urgent need of reinforcements. And there are only a few thousand enemies in front of you, and there are no siege equipment, is it a fuss to ring the bell directly?

He was hesitating, and suddenly the bell of "dang" and "dang" came from the north direction of Chang'an City, and its sound was lingering.

"What?" The general was stunned and said, "Why is there an enemy situation at the North Gate?" ”

The voice fell. A long bell rang from the east and south of Chang'an City at the same time, and the general finally changed color: "Oh no! Is Chang'an surrounded by all sides? Quick, we'll ring the bell to warn us too! ”

The sound of the alarm bell sounded loudly, indicating the implementation of the street ban, and the entire Chang'an City was also in chaos, and the pedestrians in the four streets and alleys did not wait for the expulsion of Dong Jun's soldiers, so they rushed towards their homes with rolling belts, and scattered completely in an instant.

The soldiers of Ximen had never experienced the major event of the four gates of the alarm bell ringing together, and they were all terrified in their hearts, and they looked at each other. It's even more at a loss.

"Open the gates!" There was a terrible shout from the city, but it was the cavalry of hundreds of men who had fled to the city.

"Quick! Open the gates! The general didn't have time to think about it, and said sharply: "The leading officer of the cavalry has been summoned to come up for questioning...... The cavalry under his command should not be idle, and immediately send them to inspect the four gates! Ben was going to immediately know the enemy situation in the rest of the directions! ”

"Yes!" An officer responded, leaned down and shouted to the city: "Pass General Zhang Ji's order, and lead the officers to go to the city to answer!" The rest of the cavalry patrolled the four gates and quickly called the police! ”

"Zhang Ji?" Among the hundreds of cavalry under the city, one raised his head slightly and looked towards the city. He deeply rooted the general's expressionless and gloomy face in his heart: "It turns out. He is Zhang Ji! ”

As the city gate gradually opened, the cavalry flocked into the city, except for the officer who led the team to jump off his horse and go straight to the upper city, the rest of the cavalry were led by their own peaks. Straight towards the gates of Chang'an City.

In the panic, no one noticed that a cavalryman gradually fell behind, and finally quietly disappeared into the dense streets and alleys.

"Uncle!" A young general rushed up to the city and saluted Zhang Ji: "Please instruct!" ”

Zhang Ji waved his hand and ordered the cavalry officer in front of him to leave. When he turned around again, his face was as heavy as water: "You're here...... Now in the army, you have to call this general general! Now, Ben will entrust you with the temporary defense of Ximen! ”：

"What?" The young general was stunned and said, "The general is the chief general of the Western Front. How can you leave your post lightly? ”

"There are police reports on the other three fronts, and there are even more major incidents outside the western front where we will be stationed...... More than ten miles away, a grain transportation team of more than 1,000 people was killed in an instant! It should be the enemy in front of you! Zhang Jiyao pointed to the dust that was still high in the distance, and his face was solemn: "I am going to go to the Taishi Mansion in person to present the military situation to the Taishi!" ”

"During the departure of Ben General, if there is an enemy attacking the city, you must defend the city to the death, and you must not slack off against the enemy!" Zhang Ji's majestic gaze fell on the young general: "Are you sure?" ”

"Please rest assured, General!" A flush of excitement flashed on the young general's face, and he said proudly: "The last general will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

About five miles outside the north of Chang'an City, a group of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses lined up against Weishui. There was a strange smell of this mixed infantry and horse, their clothes were mixed, almost no different from the Yellow Turban Army of the year, and they did not play any banners, at first glance they were a rabble.

However, the general of the Dong Army stationed at the north gate climbed to the top and took a closer look, but his face suddenly sank, and he slapped the officer who had reported the military situation to him before...... Are you kidding? Mobocracy? The rabble? This kind of defensive formation of attacking and defending can not even be arranged at this level among the generals of the Dong Army!

Looking at the faintly visible sail shadows behind the soldiers and horses, General Dong Jun's face became even darker. With such a powerful carrying capacity, it silently crossed the Weishui army of more than 10,000 people...... If the mob could have such a ability, then the Yellow Turban Army would have unified the world a long time ago!

Who exactly is it? The general pondered intently, and suddenly sweat ran down his cheeks...... There is no doubt that this is a strong army in disguise, and behind the hidden identity, there must also be hidden sinister intentions that no one knows!

He waved his order almost desperately, sounding a huge alarm bell, and he soon began to congratulate himself on his wise decision...... The bell response on the other three sides of Chang'an City undoubtedly demonstrated his decisiveness, agility and arbitrariness.

"Herald! Enter the battle mode! The general yelled, "Report it immediately and ask for reinforcements!" ”

At the same time, in the south and east of Chang'an, there was also a group of soldiers and horses of different sizes approaching the city, and they were also unremarkable, so silently lined up in battle formations, peeping at Chang'an. As if waiting for the order for a general attack.

Inside and outside Chang'an City, war clouds were thick, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense. As the lines came like snowflakes, strict orders were thrown out in the Taishi's mansion, and soldiers and horses from all over the city moved one after another, guarding the key points everywhere.

Although there were only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses on all sides outside the city, Chang'an City, which had nearly 50,000 defenders, was in chaos, which had to be said to be a mistake by Dong Zhuo. Under normal circumstances, if there are enough troops, the defense of the city should be carried out in the middle of the city. One is to maneuver outside the city, so as to support each other, so that the besieging enemy army will not be able to take care of the end.

And Dong Zhuo only led more than 20,000 people to the west, with the weight of his suspicions, how could he not guard against Huangfu Song, who was similar in strength, after entering Chang'an? When he first arrived, he immediately ordered the non-descendant troops to be stationed outside the city, obviously the intention of prevention was too explicit and would chill people's hearts, and the main force of the descendant line was stationed outside the city. Once there is a change in the city, won't he Dong Zhuo be cocooned and bound himself?

Looking ahead, Dong Zhuo could only temporarily order all the soldiers and horses to be stationed in the city, and only sent a small cavalry force to patrol Chang'an. The consequence is that the current dilemma....... Dong army, which has superior troops, is surrounded by enemy troops in the city!

"The enemy army is not many, if you want to pose a threat to Chang'an, you can only take the city gate!" The generals of the Dong Army, who were in charge of defending the various defensive lines, unanimously made a seemingly correct decision: "Reduce the troops." Defend the city gate with all your might! ”

On the city wall, a group of guards of the city gathered in the direction of the city gate with neat steps, leaving a few soldiers at intervals on the long city wall only for hope....... relative to the total circumference of the Chang'an city wall of nearly thirty miles. These people are almost like lonely reefs on the shoreline.

In the south of the longest of the four city walls of Chang'an, the last group of Dong soldiers who rushed by had just disappeared, and there was a sudden movement below the city wall.

Dozens of small mounds of ground bulged and trembled, and dozens of figures draped in camouflage slowly stood up.

"The master's ability is really amazing!" Sun Binshuo swept the camouflage cloth on his body with an amazed gaze, he looked up at the city above, and sneered: "Sure enough, as we expected, this is precisely the most neglected area of the enemy, and the lookout post they arranged can only observe the movement of a large army in the distance, but they can't find this dead end at all!" ”

"Brothers, get ready to go to town!" Sun Binshuo shouted in a deep voice: "The lord did not hesitate to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to make such a big move, just to cover us to sneak into the city safely....... we must not disappoint the lord!" ”

Dozens of subordinates bowed silently together, quickly took out the hook around their waists, and looked upward....... even if they were able to successfully hook the city wall as high as six or seven zhang and climb up, it was an unprecedented test.

"Wait!" A low female voice came from behind them.

Everyone turned around in shock, only Sun Binshuo heard the woman's voice, turned around like a whirlwind, and said in surprise: "Miss Mengyi, how did you come here?" ”

"General Sun's ability, that's obvious to all!" Zhang Mengyi, who had a shallow smile on her face, stood behind her at some point, and there was still a tall young man with a cold face beside her: "However, dozens of people threw hooks at the same time, and this movement is probably not small...... In order to ensure the safe and smooth entry of the brothers into the city, under the order of General Nan, Xiaomei and Mr. Guan came to help! ”

"Thank you, Miss, there is Mr. Laoguan!" With Sun Binshuo's arrogance and conceit, facing the young man beside Zhang Mengyi, he couldn't help but give a deep salute, and his heart was even more moved...... Who doesn't know that the group of guardians on the side of the lord are all first-class players in the world, and this Mr. Guan Guan Ping is one of the leading leaders, and it is said that he has a miraculous skill, even surpassing Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and Li Jin and others! The fact that the lord was able to send him out in person not only showed his love at a glance, but also showed his determination to succeed in this operation.

"Well said! Let me personally take action to pave a shortcut to the city for you! Guan Ping nodded, his hands outstretched. But he saw that his hands were full of a handful of iron bars thicker than two fingers, no longer than half an arm.

"Sir, what is this?" Looking at Sun Binshuo's stunned expression, Guan Ping finally showed a faint smile.

"Poof", everyone was dumbfounded, and an iron bar sank deep into the solid city wall in Guan Ping's hand, leaving only nearly half of the length exposed.

Guan Ping stretched out his hand and gently shook the iron bar, but he didn't move at all, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

A sound of inhalation sounded one after another. The city wall built after layers of tamping is really harder than stone....... but for Guan Ping, it is like a devastating and decaying!

"It is impossible for the generals to confront Dong Jun for a long time, as long as Dong Jun makes a slight move, they will retreat immediately!" Guan Ping seemed to have done a trivial matter, and said lightly: "So, our time is very limited!" ”

His figure rose up, his hands were as fast as lightning, and in the light sound of "poof" and "poof", he quickly inserted a hanging staircase diagonally upward on the city wall with dozens of iron bars.

"I am responsible for recovering these iron bars and erasing all traces!" Guan Ping's body fell, and after taking it with one hand, he gestured towards Sun Binshuo with the other hand: "General Sun, let's act!" ”

"I'll go first! Then use the smoke to briefly stun the nearby defenders, you follow! Zhang Mengyi swept up like a raccoon cat, and jumped towards the city with his feet on the suspended stairs.

"Great!" Sun Binshuo's heart swelled with strong joy, he nodded violently, followed closely behind Zhang Mengyi, and stepped away like a dragonfly. (To be continued......)
