The sun is setting, and the remnants are like blood.

Uncle Zhang, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu, took back the bronze broadsword and exclaimed: "Good man! ……”

"Qu Shuai is brave! Qu Shuai is brave! ......" the Yellow Turban cavalry, surrounded by a quadrangle, raised their weapons and let out a tsunami-like cheer.

"Bian Xi, what a plan! Booby trap the official army, Shou Zhang Xia......" He shouted to the one behind him, who was also about thirty years old, wearing a yellow scarf on his head, wearing iron armor all over his body, and a powerful yellow scarf general.

The general smiled, clasped his fists and replied loudly: "Qu Shuai praised it." ”

Zhang Bo shouted around: "Quickly annihilate the remaining officers and troops, and prepare to capture the city......"

If Song Shijiang or the Liangshan heroes who know the history are here, they must know who this Bian Xi is, in the original trajectory, he was the Yellow Turban general, and then returned to Cao Cao, guarding the Bishui Pass, Guan Yu wanted to design an ambush when he passed the five passes, and was killed by Guan Yu. And the canal handsome Uncle Zhang, originally under the command of Yanzhou Daqu Shuai Bu Si, and later Bu Si was defeated by the famous general Huangfu Song of the Later Han Dynasty, and Zhang Bo led the army to wander around, without a trace, but for some reason appeared here.

The voice did not fall.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering roar on Shou Zhangcheng's head, and the sound was louder than thunder!

The Yellow Turban thieves in the city were all startled, and they hurriedly followed the sound to look at the city. A swarthy hole popped out of the city, and the hole flashed red, and then spewed out a sky of smoke, and then ...... Not good! A huge shadow roared in, growing bigger and bigger.

The shadow roared down from the sky, smashing into the iron horse that stood still, the muffled sound of the horse smashing, the crisp sound of human bones breaking. The shadow kinetic energy did not disappear, and continued to impact and rotate forward, bouncing on the ground, and the one who swept it was not bone, limb and brain, and swept out an "S" shaped blood path, only to reluctantly rotate and stop, but it turned out to be a huge stone bullet. In an instant, more than a dozen Yellow Turban cavalrymen were already missing arms and legs, their flesh and blood were blurred, lying on the ground and wailing and screaming.

All the yellow turbans were stupid. Trebuchet? They are now three miles away from the city, and the effective damage of the stone-throwing is only more than one mile but no more than two miles, and they used to lure the enemy to avoid the stone-throwing arrows. How can it be? How can there be such smoke? The yellow scarves were stunned for a while, including Zhang Bo Bian Xi.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ……”

Then, countless roars like thunderbolts rang out, resounding through the heavens and the earth.

The Yellow Turban thieves watched as the city filled with smoke that covered the sky, and dozens of shadows like squares fell from the sky and roared above their heads.

The high speed, combined with the tremendous energy brought by the weight of the stone itself, allowed these stone bullets to easily sweep dozens of bloody paths through the crowd. The stone bullet directly smashed the body of a Yellow Turban cavalryman in front, and then flew backwards with his blurred flesh, and then smashed the body of a Yellow Turban cavalryman behind him, which reduced its speed and bounced irregularly on the ground, killing and injuring the cavalry behind, knocking them into a bloody body and staggering.

The Yellow Turbans were completely stunned, under this sudden and fierce long-range attack that they had never seen before, the fear of the unknown made them confused, some wanted to run forward, some wanted to run backwards, some abandoned their horses, and the result caused even more chaos. They're screaming, they're terrified, they're losing their souls.

"Heavenly punishment! Meteorite ...... from the sky"

"Spells! The officers and soldiers have spells! ”

"God-man! …… Meteorite ......"

The Yellow Turbans were originally followers of the Taiping Dao, and their strong religious beliefs meant that they were even more superstitious. The smoke that filled the city walls, the clouds were smoky; a roar more deafening than thunder; long-range strikes at ultra-long ranges; shocking lethality; The Yellow Turbans collapsed in complete confusion.

Who still has the intention of attacking, even the dozen or so remaining garrison soldiers who were close in front of them forgot about the encirclement and suppression, and everyone screamed and scattered in all directions, afraid that they would run slower than others, and they were afraid that the next wave of heavenly punishment meteorites would fall on their heads.

Uncle Zhang's face was also pale, and Bian Xi had no idea. Seeing the random escape of his subordinates, he came back to his senses, and rode his horse and shouted: "Pull the wind! ......"

Thousands of Yellow Turban cavalry fled into the distance like a tide, and the thousands of Yellow Turban foot soldiers left farther also fled farther away, and the farther and farther they fled, and there was no trace.

The blood-colored sunset had gradually turned black, and the night slowly occupied the entire battlefield, shrouded in tattered flags fluttering and crying in the wind, bloodstained broken spears and swords, severed limbs and stumps all over the ground, corpses of both sides of the enemy, blood gurgling on the ground, and the wails and neighing of war horses that refused to close their eyes, as well as the dozen or so soldiers of the garrison battalion who survived and survived on the ground covered in blood and the nearby villagers who had not fled and were not killed...... Darkness envelops all ugliness, all horror, all cruelty.

Countless suppressed weepings sounded on the top of the city, and the torches were gradually lit, dotted with stars. Xiao Rangzao took hundreds of thousands of people to the city, and they all saw the scene under the city. Eight hundred soldiers of the garrison battalion and eight hundred of his own Shouzhang disciples were wiped out under the city like this. The people began to cry, first depressed crying, frightened crying, and then crying loudly, cathartic crying, distressed crying.

Ling Zhen stood dumbfounded beside the artillery that had cleared the smoke of gunpowder, gritted his teeth tightly, and suddenly let out a roar like a lion's roar: "Firearms blasting battalion, prepare all the artillery." Tomorrow, tomorrow the thieves will come back, and tomorrow there will be a big war......"

Xiao Rang came to his senses, he wiped the tears on his face, and shouted, "Brother Ling Zhen, we, how do we do it?" ”

Ling Zhentie blushed, staring at the corpses of the soldiers of the garrison camp under the city in the dark night, and said, "Brother Xiao Rang, only the two of us are left." Ready, ready to get up......"

This night, Shouzhangcheng was a sleepless night. Taking advantage of the dark night, the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and countless soldiers and people ran out with wails and ran out to bring out the corpses of the soldiers of the Shouzhang garrison camp one by one and moved them back to the city. The garrison was finding Lei Heng's head and the body, Xiao Rang gathered them together and put them in the coffin, and wept bitterly: "Brother Lei Heng, why don't you listen to me." Now the garrison camp has been wiped out, and now I have no army to defend...... Tomorrow, if reinforcements don't arrive tomorrow, maybe I'll come with my brother. ”

This night, because there was enough time, all the men of the right age in Shouzhang County were recruited and armed, and Xiao Rang and Ling Zhen divided them. Unfortunately, the only soldiers who had undergone military training were the 400 sergeants of the firearms blasting battalion and the 50 guards of the city gates. Ling Zhen smiled bitterly and said to the city gate team: "Now, you and I are the only ones who are most familiar with military affairs. To use artillery, I am indispensable and professional gunners are indispensable. Sixty squatting cannons, I need two hundred and forty people, and the rest of the assistants can be replaced by civilians. And you will lead the rest of the soldiers, and go with the people. "Busy all night, sixty squatting artillery were placed in place on all sides of the city; Countless rolling stone sassal bricks are placed in place; Each soldier was armed with a few civilians, dressed in armor and armed with swords and guns, ready to be in place.

I didn't sleep all night, and when I was ready, the east was gradually turning white. Xiao Rang shouted: "Villagers, hurry up and rest." Shouzhang, it is our Shouzhang, and we will never let the yellow scarf take it away. Persistence, as long as we insist, reinforcements, reinforcements will arrive! ”

……

Shouzhang west to seventy or eighty miles is Liangshan, if it is a flat avenue, riding a horse can be reached in an hour, but unfortunately it is a mountain road. It is said that Wu Dahai, the commander of the expedition, rode his horse all the way, and when he arrived at Liangshan, it was already dark.

shouted all the way and went straight to the Liangshan Juyi Hall.

In this righteous hall, several heroes are sitting upright and chatting. They are Li Ying, the chief and deputy director of the logistics department of the escort army, the little whirlwind Chai Jin, the eagle of the sky, Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast of the Liangshan garrison battalion, and the chief and deputy generals of the logistics department Song Qing, Cao Zheng, Meng Kang, Tang Long, Li Yun, Tao Zongwang, Hou Jian, and others.

Wu Dahai staggered in breathlessly and shouted, "General, general...... Shouzhang is in danger! ”

Everyone was shocked and asked urgently: "What happened to Shouzhang?" ”

"The Yellow Turban thieves attacked my Shou Zhang, Shou Zhang was in danger, and Xiao Zhu Bo asked the little one to come and ask for help! Shouzhang is in danger! Wu Dahai's face turned pale and he reported anxiously.

The Liangshan garrison camp was standing up the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, half annoyed and half surprised, shouting: "Yellow turban thief, I don't know whether you live or die, and you dare to offend me." It's just right for me to destroy him and make a meritorious deed. The rest of the brothers all went to Luoyang to make great contributions, but only I was left in the garrison camp. I deserve to make meritorious contributions. ”

Li Ying was calm, and asked Wu Dahai: "Do you know how many yellow scarves are coming?" ”

Wu Dahai shook his head and said, "I don't know! If you dare to come and attack the city, you will have many ears. ”

Everyone looked solemn and looked at the three of them, Chai Jin, Li Ying, and Yang Zhi.

Chai Jin, Li Ying, and Yang Zhi glanced at each other. Yang Zhi said in a deep voice: "I have eight hundred generals under my command, I don't know if it's enough?" Brothers, who will fight with me? Join me in meritorious service. ”

All the chief and deputy generals of the logistics department shouted: "I am willing to go!" ”

Li Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Brothers, Shouzhang and I Liangshan are one, the situation is urgent, and we will be saved." It's just that I don't know the details of the enemy, so it's a dilemma. …… In this way, listen to my arrangement, brothers of all families, Brother Chai Jin, Brother Yang Zhi, can you wait to see if it is feasible? ”

Chai Jin said: "Let's talk about it. ”

Li Ying said: "Brother Yang Zhi, you led the 800 soldiers of the garrison battalion under your command to set out to rescue immediately, and Brother Cao Zheng, Brother Tang Long, and Brother Li Yun will walk with you. I quickly went to Daze Lake to inform the naval army Li Jun brothers, and asked them to gather men and horses to catch up immediately. This brother, you go to Fan County to inform General Zhu Tong and Jin Dajian's lord Bo ......"

Wu Dahai responded: "There are already soldiers to report." ”

"Good!" Li Ying nodded and continued: "My Liangshan cottage has countless grains and grasses, and I can't be left uninhabited. Brother Chai Jin, you and Brother Song Qing and others will stay in the cottage. Is this an arrangement feasible? ”

Chai Jin and Yang Zhi glanced at each other, nodded, and said, "It's according to Brother Li Ying's arrangement." ”

Yang Zhi clasped his fists and said, "So, brothers, Yang Zhi will go." Brother Li Ying, the enemy situation is unknown, come quickly. ”

Chai Jin said: "Brother Yang Zhi, you must be careful. ”

Yang Zhi smiled proudly and said: "The meritorious service is in this dynasty, my brother listens to my good voice" Everyone dispersed in a hurry.

After a period of chaos, Yang Zhi gathered all the brothers under his tent, and took Cao Zheng, Tanglong, and Li Yun to Shouzhang in the dark. The art of war: "The night is not an army", these seventy or eighty miles of mountain roads make Yang Zhi's garrison camp easy to walk all night. Four or five hundred of the eight hundred brothers in the camp were blind at night, and they couldn't see the way at all, so they only supported each other and groped their way forward. Yang Zhi roared in a hurry, and raised his horsewhip several times to drive away and whip his subordinates, but he remembered Song Jiang's advice before the garrison camp was built, so he couldn't hold back.

When the sky turned white, and the outline of Shouzhangcheng was seen, everyone was in high spirits, and they accelerated their pace, wanting to enter Shouzhangcheng in one go.

Yang Zhi thought for a moment and shouted, "Brothers, stop and rest and recuperate. There is no need to enter the city, attack the Yellow Turbans, and make a contribution today......"
