On a street south of the Yongyang granary, Wu Santian led his men to defend the improvised barrier wall, and they had blocked the attacking Anzhou army for nearly an hour, but their comrades had not lit up the granary behind them until now.

"What the hell is Liu Lao Wu rubbing, he can't light a fire!" Wu Santian looked back at the streets of the city that were blazing everywhere and cursed, although there were flames everywhere, there was still not much light in the direction of the most important granary.

Wu Santian and Liu Chengwu, two team leaders, led their subordinates to come south to this Yongyang City in disguise and mingle with the people of Pingyang a few days ago, and according to the arrangement of Sima Cheng, the governor of Yuzhou, they quickly found the internal response in Yongyang.

"Team leader, are those barbarians really useless? Why don't I wait to burn the granary! One of the people next to him complained that it had been an hour since the raid, and that he had been entangled with the granary defenders for so long, and that he thought those barbarians were all rubbish.

Burning the big granary of Yongyang City is the purpose of their trip, but just relying on the hundreds of soldiers who went south is still insufficient, Yongyang in addition to the state soldiers, there are also thousands of Anzhou troops stationed, as far as these people go to burn the warehouse, it is tantamount to moths to the fire, according to the plan, there should be an internal response to instigate the Ba Barbarian prisoners in the city to rise up together, Wu Santian has doubts about the combat effectiveness of these Ba Man, and now it seems that it is really useless.

In May, the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain attacked Yongyang and many barbarians were captured, and in June, the northern foot of Tongbai Mountain attacked the southwestern states of the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion and was later pacified.

This is also the basis for the Yuzhou army to dare to send elites to Yongyang to set fire to the granary, until the incident was all going well, Wu Santian led his men to guard the street out of ability considerations, and the more popular Ba Man followed another team leader, Liu Chengwu, to attack the granary.

This decision turned out to be both correct and unsuccessful. The right thing is that Wu Santian led his men to repel the Anzhou army that rescued the granary here several times. The mistake was to let those barbarian wastes attack the granary, but it was wasted an hour before they could light the fire.

This street is the only way to the granary. The houses on both sides of the road have been set on fire by them, and they have found a number of carts loaded with dirt bags to form an obstacle, no matter how many Anzhou troops rushed in, but they could not spread out in this small street, because the houses were on fire, so the archers could not go up to the roof to fire arrows, so the other party had to climb the obstacle to hand-to-hand combat.

A few more people came carrying a few freshly dismantled beams, they used everything they could find to strengthen the barrier wall, and repelled the swarming Anzhou army again and again, Wu Santian, the Yuzhou army of nearly 100 people, is the elite of a hundred battles, although the number is small, but each is a good hand, whether it is hand-to-hand combat or hand-to-hand combat, it is one in a hundred, so he feels more and more that it is a waste for his team to stay here.

When the governor Sima Huangfu made a plan and chose them to go south, he made plans and arrangements for the annihilation of the whole army: the pension of all soldiers going south was doubled. The family's fields are exempt from taxation for three years. Huangfu Sima is a big celebrity in front of the prime minister, so what he said is the decision of the imperial court, so Wu Santian is ready to die in Yongyang.

"Waste is waste, it's waste in Yuzhou, it's waste in Yongyang, I might as well take people to impact the granary." Wu Santian hated it so much that he held for an hour, losing more than half of his own casualties and repelling at least five times the enemy army

According to the plan, these Ba Barbarian captives who worked as coolies in Yongyang were a big help, but now they were obviously unreliable, he felt that if he led people to attack the granary and the other party came to block the road, even if he was rushed in by the Anzhou army, he could still light the fire before he died in the battle, and make it a prairie fire.

"Team Master! Someone is coming again! A soldier shouted, and the rest of the people were ready to fight, Wu Santian looked at the Anzhou army, which had already retreated far away, and rushed up again, they slowly advanced in a shield formation, just like the previous few times, but it was different, because the cavalry was far behind them.

"Cavalry? The cavalry never thought about it!! Wu Santian sneered, and behind him was a horse that was temporarily tied up with a spear. If the opponent dares to ride his horse and jump over the obstacles, then he will crash headlong into the spear and reject the horse, so the end will be the same death.

Wu Santian and the others saw that the shield array was slowly approaching, and they were also ready to fight, and the archers also began to bend their bows and arrows, according to the previous tactics, they waited for the opponent to engage their own side to shoot at close range. A few steps away, as long as an arrow in the face is shot, it will be shot directly through the head and killed on the spot.

When the other party approached to the distance of more than ten steps away, he suddenly threw over a few things and landed between Wu Santian and the others, they looked down and saw that there were a few clay pots wrapped in straw, and when they were wondering, the clay pots suddenly exploded, and then a large amount of white powder rushed towards them.

A spicy smell passed through the nose, followed by a burning sensation, and even the eyes could not be opened, at this moment, the Anzhou army in front of them suddenly threw many short guns at them, and more than ten people were stabbed on the spot.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, the Anzhou army ran straight into them with their shields, and the archers who were about to shoot arrows at close range were stabbed by the short spears thrown in the second round before they could aim at the gap, and the two sides collided in an instant.

The Anzhou army that rushed up was wearing skull masks, and the first one was extremely powerful, he first smashed one person's head with a shield, and then pulled out a short gun as a stick to knock the other person over, and when the third person rushed up, he pulled out his saber and cut it down in only two rounds.

"Let's have a good fight!" Wu Santian endured the stinging pain in his eyes and struggled to face the battle, he had never seen the other party so fierce in any scene after a long battle, but he was not easy to get along with: in the crowded melee, it was nothing more than a life for a life! He slashed his long knife at one of his faces, and the other hand already had an extra dagger.

The man was wearing a skull mask, hideous and abnormal, but he couldn't scare Wu Santian, seeing that the other party blocked his long knife, the two sides were already approaching, so he stabbed the dagger in his hand in the abdomen.

This trick has saved him many times, so he is very confident that he can stab the other party over, but this time it was seen through, the man grabbed Wu Santian's wrist and then twisted it, the strength was so great that Wu Santian couldn't grasp the dagger in pain, and as a result, his hand fell down.

"I called Hu'er, remember!" As soon as the man's words fell, he pulled Wu Santian forward, and then jerked his right leg knee just against his chin. Wu Santian only heard a click in his jaw, as if something was cracking, and then a sharp pain came.

"Clear the obstacle and let the cavalry rush in!"

"Anlu reinforcements have arrived. Don't even think about running away from any of the thieves! ”

There was a staccato sound in my ears. Wu Santian gradually lost consciousness......

In the west of Anyang City, Liu Chengwu led the remnants and the defeated Ba Man to flee to the west gate, and he looked back at the direction of the granary full of regret.

After fighting for more than an hour, it was easy to attack the granary and start to ignite the fire, but the Anzhou army, which could be reinforced, also arrived, the other party was wearing skull masks, fierce and abnormal, and the number of their own side plus the barbarians was also quite a lot, but those barbarians saw this group of people as if they had seen a ghost, and turned around and ran, resulting in a failure.

On the way to escape, Liu Chengwu asked Ba Man why he was so flustered, and the other party had an official twitter, and after talking for a long time, he realized that when these people attacked Yongyang in May this year, they were defeated by soldiers wearing skull masks, and it is said that these soldiers slashed them with long knives that day, like hellish ghosts.

'Waste is waste' is Liu Chengwu's only thought, these barbarians were frightened, and he couldn't support them independently. According to the direction of the Anzhou army, it is inferred that Wu Santian, the team leader who was responsible for blocking the road halfway, and those comrades are probably dead, they have blocked the enemy army for more than an hour, if these barbarians can have half the strength of the Wu team leader, then this granary would have already burned into the sky.

Although he was indignant in his heart, Liu Chengwu did not scold, because the way to live behind was still on these people, according to Huangfu Sima's plan, this attack on Yongyang, whether it was successful or not, had to use Baman's way to retreat.

The other party lives in the nearby Tongbai Mountain, as long as these people flee to the mountains, the pursuers of Anzhou are beyond the reach of the whip, the Anzhou boundary over the Tongbai Mountain to the Yuzhou boundary has three main roads, although there are Anzhou troops to guard, but under the leadership of Baman, they can also take the path over the mountain, so this is the only way for them to escape.

"It's a failure, I don't know what happened to Anlu's side" Liu Chengwu muttered to himself and followed the team to the West Gate, where the 'anyway' Barbarians in the city were responsible for attacking when the incident occurred, and now looking at the open city gate Liu Chengwu was a little relieved: these barbarians are finally a little useful.

After escaping from the city, he looked back at Yongyang, and the skyrocketing fire reflected the night sky. In this incident, they set fire to people's houses all over the city, but unfortunately the granary they wanted to light the most still failed to burn.

But it's also a shame that the whole city is on fire. The Anzhou troops stationed outside the city are now busy entering the city to fight the fire, allowing them to escape.

Ba Man, who was running in front, was chattering with him, but Liu Chengwu shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't understand, and when the other party saw this, he pointed to the stretch of mountains in the northwest, and Liu Chengwu knew what the other party meant: run over there.

That group of mountains is the Tongbai Mountains, and now it is late at night, as long as you escape from Yongyang by night, hide before dawn to escape from arrest, and wait until tomorrow night to take advantage of the night to march into the endless mountains.

"Everyone move fast," Liu Chengwu didn't finish speaking, he stood in horror, because he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and looked around by the skyrocketing fire of Yongyang City behind him, and he and the others soon found that many cavalry appeared in the southwest direction.

It can't be said that it is much, about two or three hundred, but in this wilderness, it is easy for these cavalry to deal with their own rout, and they can't escape, because two legs can't run four legs, and they can't fight, because the opponent can defeat their own side with a single charge.

"I'm going to die here today!" Liu Chengwu waved his knife and pointed at the enemy, he and his subordinates were elite soldiers in a hundred battles, not the frightened fish belly barbarians around him who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, since there was no escape, it was better to fight to the death than to die in humiliation.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded rapidly, and the opposing cavalry had already begun to gallop, and the distance between the two sides was more than a hundred steps enough for the other party to run at speed, but Liu Chengwu and his men still struggled to meet the enemy, and they had almost no spears in their hands and could only engage with their sabers.

Even if it's a person, even if it's just a horse, you have to pull a cushion before you die!

Ninety steps, seventy steps, the sound of the bowstring sounded, the cavalry shot arrows at them, and the cavalry rushing in front of them swung their horses, and rushed forward, Liu Chengwu was shot in the left eye by an arrow, and then his head hurt, his whole body was weak, and he fell to the ground on the spot, and the cavalry swept over these moths like autumn wind, and the Yuzhou army that put out the fire slashed it down.

Liu Chengwu struggled to get up from the ground, and the sharp pain in his left eye had even made him numb with pain, and he barely got up and shook in the face of the cavalry rushing again.

"It's a man, leave a name!" The first rider shouted loudly, holding a lance in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand raised high at him.

"Liu Chengwu!"

The cold light flashed, Liu Chengwu only felt that he had flown into the air, and then saw a headless body below, and a voice came from his ear: "I am Jing Zhaoshi, long live!" (To be continued.) )
