Chapter Fifty-Eight: Zhou Cang's Defeat

The cold wind is howling, and the city is in danger.

The people who went to deliver the letter to Jilusai have not yet returned, but the Hu Cavalry Alliance has already arrived in the city.

Zhou Cang carried a horizontal knife on his waist and was patrolling the city with more than ten personal soldiers.

On top of the wall, a bonfire was lit every dozen steps, illuminating the entire city as bright as day.

The waning moon in the sky has already fallen into the mountains to the west, and the whole world has already sunk into darkness.

"Cheer up, don't be lazy!"

While inspecting, Zhou Cang loudly reminded the more than 100 night watchmen at the head of the city.

"Keep your eyes open......"

Before the words fell, a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly came from outside the wall.

Zhou Cang instinctively tilted his head, a strong wind almost brushed against his cheek, and then nailed into the pillar of the enemy building behind him with a "duk" sound, Zhou Cang and the accompanying more than ten personal soldiers hurriedly looked at it, but it was a thumb-thick wolf's tooth arrow, which penetrated several inches deep into the pillar, and the feathers at the end of the arrow were still trembling violently.

The next moment, a sizzling screech resounded from the night sky.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Zhou Cang suddenly raised his head to the sky and howled hoarsely, and then hid under the battlement.

The next moment, the dense arrow rain like locusts had fallen from the sky, and the dozen or so pro-soldiers accompanying him reacted quite quickly, most of them followed Zhou Cang to hide behind the battlements, but the more than 100 sentries guarding the wall could not react, and they were suddenly covered by this wave of arrow rain, and in an instant, they were hit by arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet to warn!"

Zhou Cang pulled out his sword and ordered loudly.

Dozens of sentinels who were lucky enough not to be hit by the rain of arrows picked up the short horns and blew them vigorously, and in an instant, the distant and desolate sound of the horns rushed into the sky.

In the continuous sound of the horn, the soldiers who stayed in Sanfeng County in their sleep woke up one after another.

Due to the urgency of the war, the soldiers were already lying in their clothes, so they did not need to wear clothes and armor at all, and at the moment they grabbed the weapons placed around them in the shortest possible time, and then rushed out of the barracks in a chaotic manner, and rushed towards Dongguan like a swarm of bees under the reprimands of the junior colonels at all levels.

Almost at the same time, trumpets sounded outside the gate, and tens of thousands of torches were lit at the same time.

In the firelight as bright as day, thousands of Hu dead soldiers carried hundreds of simple long ladders, like a flood that broke the embankment, swept towards the county seat of Sanfeng, behind the group of dead Hu people, thousands of Hu archers were lined up in a dozen horizontal lines before and after, dumping one arrow to the head of Sanfeng County.

In the dense rain of arrows like locusts, waves of Han soldiers risked their lives and poured into the city.

Zhou Cang has gone through several battles, and has studied with Li Tao for a period of time, and his adaptability is much stronger than when he was fooling around with the Yellow Turban Army.

Dispatch calmly in the moment.

Under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, the archers went behind the battlements and waited for an opportunity to move.

Soon, thousands of Huren light soldiers poured under the wall, and long ladders were quickly erected.

A hundred paces away, the archers of the Hu people alliance finally began to retreat, because if they continued to cover with arrows, they would inevitably accidentally injure the Hu light soldiers who were preparing to climb the ladder to capture the city.

The bloody siege began.

A team of Hu people with sharp blades swarmed up the long ladder.

Sections of rolling logs and boulders rained down from their heads, and the dead soldiers of the Hu people were constantly smashed and planted under the city, but soon, more dead Hu people swarmed up with the corpses of the robes.

The battle was extremely fierce, and Zhou Cang didn't expect that these Hu people and dog thieves didn't even have a tentative attack, they just fought to the death.

The fierce battle lasted less than half an hour, and Zhou Cang was forced to sacrifice the killer weapon of fierce fire oil.

Zhou Cang gave an order, and cans of fierce fire oil were thrown down from the city, and they shattered one after another.

Then, faintly burning torches were thrown down from the top of the city, and soon the city was in flames.

However, this group of Hu people seemed to have taken strong medicine, and they did not immediately retreat because of the invasion of fierce fire oil.

Instead, more Hu dead men swarmed with sacks on their backs, and soon filled the fire with the sand in the sacks.

Obviously, this group of Hu people has been planning for a long time and has already made a series of preparations.

The corners of Zhou Cang's mouth couldn't help but bloom with a trace of cold killing intent, now that he had reached the last resort, he naturally didn't need to keep it.

Just with a few simple long ladders, you want to capture the county seat of Sanfeng, it's too arrogant, right?

Do you really think you can't do it?

"Fierce Fire Oil Ready ......"

Zhou Cang raised his horizontal knife again, and when he was about to give an order, the captain of the personal soldiers behind him suddenly pointed to the west of the city and roared in a low voice, "General, look, the west of the city is on fire!" ”

"What?"

Zhou Cang looked at it urgently, and sure enough, he saw that a dazzling beacon fire had risen in the west of the city, which must be a Hun rebellion.

Damn the Huns, he knew that none of these people had a good thing.

"You, lead a hundred soldiers to the west of the city as soon as possible, and if you see the Huns, kill them all, regardless of whether they are good or bad."

"No!"

Xiao Xiao hurriedly took the order and left, in extraordinary times, when using extraordinary means, everyone has a ruthless heart.

Internal and external troubles are a fatal blow, so Zhou Cang will be ruthless.

West.

A Xiongnu man climbed the heights and shouted: "Great steppe people, take up your weapons, follow me to kill the Han officials, seize the city, and welcome the king of Yuvluo into the city." ”

"Oh......"

Hundreds of Huns gathered in response, shouting loudly.

This Hun man is none other than Liu Bao, the son of Yu Fuluo, who sneaked into Sanfeng County early as an internal response.

Liu Bao took two steps forward and pulled out a heavy arrow with his name engraved on it from the throat of a Han soldier.

The soldier was still dying, struggling as hard as he could.

Liu Bao stepped on the soldier's neck with a kick, only to hear a click, and the soldier's neck bone was completely crushed, which was unbearable.

"Kill me!"

The ranks of the riots in the west of the city were getting stronger and stronger, and the fire began to spread everywhere, and the soldiers sent by Zhou Cang to suppress it in the past were of no avail.

……

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

Zhou Cang raised the horizontal knife again and again, and fell again and again.

The archers pulled their bows, released their arrows, pulled their bows and released their arrows, and the corpses under the walls were already piled up.

But there are still Hu dead soldiers charging, and they don't dare to be careless.

Just as Zhou Cang was concentrating on fighting against the Hu people outside the city, a violent sound of gold and iron sounded in his ears, which came from the city.

Zhou Cang's heart suddenly burst into his mind, it's not good, is it still a step too late, he was seized by the Huns, he knew that he should have slaughtered the Huns in the city yesterday.!

The next moment, a sky-high fire suddenly broke out in the city!

Immediately afterwards, the city sounded like a tide of killing, and then a team of Hun warriors had rushed out of the firelight, as soon as these Hun warriors appeared, they came straight to the city gate, and then quickly divided into two teams, one team grabbed the gate, and the other team killed the city wall along the city building!

Zhou Cang's heart suddenly felt cold, and Sanfeng County was lost.
