The brigade led by Guan Yu galloped on the dirt road in the countryside, dozens of colorful triangular flags like colorful butterflies dancing wildly in the wind, and the yellow dust more than one person high swayed behind the horse team.

There were still sixty miles away from Xin'an County, Guan Yu suddenly reined in the reins of the horse, and was leading all the way, and the "black panther" who was running away hissed dissatisfiedly. Cui Dakui, who caught up later, asked suspiciously: "Why don't you leave?" It's far from the county seat! Guan Yu ordered with a solemn face: "Inform the brothers to camp on the spot, change the horses that sweat too much to empty horses, and always be vigilant and ready to fight." At the same time, ten scouts were sent to touch all the ravines, canyons, mountains, and woods in the county seat to me, and beware of hussar camps to encircle and send reinforcements. ”

An hour later, the scouts returned. "How?" Before Guan Yu could speak, the others rushed impatiently.

In addition to the 40,000 troops besieging the city, we also found two armies of people and horses in Wuzhuling and Huangniupo, close to our current location, ten miles away from the city, about 10,000 people each. The three centaurs form horns. ”

Guan Yu got up and sneered: "This is a pocket waiting for us to drill in!" It looks like we've done our best. ”

In the middle of the night, in Xin'an City, the original county hall is brightly lit, and a fierce quarrel is taking place here. Ruan Wu's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he listened to the gossip of the generals without saying a word. The hussar battalion suddenly fell from the sky, and the iron wall was closed, and the first few rounds of fierce siege battles made him almost unable to parry, and several times he despaired that he was going to die here. Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly changed his strategy a few days ago, turning to besiege rather than attack, and he was confused while being lucky.

The subordinates will quickly divide into two opinions, one is to immediately abandon the city and break through, rather than waiting for death here, it is better to go all out to kill a bloody road and the leader of the leader; The other is to hold on to the city, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and the inside and outside should be combined. Ruan Wu knew in his heart that since the opponent dared to besiege but not attack, there must be countless traps outside the city, and forcibly breaking through was tantamount to taking the initiative to throw himself into the net, and he knew the gap between the combat strength of the Red Turban Army and the Hussar Battalion, which had no danger to defend. He didn't have too much hope for reinforcements, even if the Red Turban Army took out all its money and hussar battalion to fight at present, it might not be able to take advantage, and sending a small group of reinforcements was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it is estimated that no fool would be willing to risk coming to die.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the generals were surprised to see a man in black walking in unhurriedly and leisurely.

"The last general, Guan Yu, was ordered by the leader and military advisor to assist the third brother to break out of the encirclement." The man in black clasped his fists.

"Sixth brother?!--- you--- how did you get in?" Ruan Wu jumped up and unconsciously touched the mustache on his chin with his right hand to make sure that his chin did not fall to the ground.

Guan Yu greeted the generals one by one, and replied with a smile: "Oh, the night is too late, most of the defenders outside the city are asleep, and the guards in front of your door are also dozing. Without further ado, time is running out, so let's get ready for action. ”

The sleepy-eyed Ma Yu was woken up from the couch, and a junior sergeant knelt on one leg and said hurriedly: "General Yu, the direction of my Huangniupo camp is in flames, and at the same time, the camp at the south gate of the county town has also caught fire, and the sound of killing is everywhere, and the number of enemy troops is not clear for the time being. Several generals on duty don't know how to deal with it, so I specially ask the general to show it! ”

Ma Yu's heart was both excited and annoyed, and he was excited that a fish finally bit the hook; Annoyed, the thieves were cunning, and the timing chosen was too tricky, making it difficult for him to make accurate judgments.

After contemplating for a moment, he waved his hand and ordered: "Hurry up and fly to the Wuzhuling garrison, gallop to the aid of Huangniupo, and block the enemy's rear road; Inform the rest of the guards of each gate, leave a small number of men and horses to keep an eye on the bandits in the city, and all the rest will gather and surround the south gate, and the bandit reinforcements will kill as many as they want, and not a single fly will fly into the city! If the bandits in the city go out of the city and join the reinforcements, they will all be intercepted and killed! ”

After the herald retreated, Ma Yu walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, thinking: After sniping the reinforcements, Xin'an County will definitely be self-defeating tomorrow! Pacify the bandits in two months, and regain all the lost cities is close at hand!

At the north gate of Xin'an County, the suspension bridge is quietly and slowly lowered, and the hooves of each war horse are wrapped with thick cloth pads. Not a single torch was lit, and the soldiers on the horses could not even see each other's faces in the dark night, only hearing each other's heavy breathing.

Xiao Chenggui's lungs were about to explode, and he didn't stop killing to the scalping slope, except for a pile of horse manure on the ground that was no longer steaming but still fresh, he didn't even see the horse hair of the red turban bandits. These guts rats seem to have only sent a few troops to set a few fires here, and they slipped away after shouting twice, but they caused him to work hard in the middle of the night. After carefully observing the direction of the horse's hoof prints on the ground, he waved his lance and shouted, "Give me chase!" ”

The hussar battalion soldiers surrounding the north gate had no doubt that there were ghosts in this world, because they believed that they had seen ghosts. The huge hooves of the war horses that rushed over in the darkness trampled the road without a sound. Guan Yu took advantage of the chaos and threw the torch wrapped in tung oil that had just been lit on the tent of the enemy camp. Seeing the long-awaited fire at the North Gate, Cui Dakui, who was fighting bloodily at the South Gate, waved a big iron rod stained with bright red slime and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”。 Facing the enemy army that swept in like a frenzy, he turned his horse and left. The thousands of Red Turban cavalry behind them retreated, and those who moved a little slower were either completely swallowed up by the frenzy, or swept off their horses by the relentless rain of arrows that followed.

When the sky was bright, Xiao Chenggui finally saw the back of the black press in front of him wrapped in a red scarf, and he was ecstatic in his heart. He raised his spear in his right hand and shouted, "Brothers, Hugh let go of the bandits, kill me!" Ten thousand hussars and soldiers at the same time hurried their horses and whipped up, and they swept in like a flood that opened the floodgates.

Hearing the shouts of killing behind them, Ruan Wu and Guan Yu restrained their horses at the same time and quickly judged the situation. Guan Yu whispered to Ruan Wu: "About 10,000 elite horsemen, if they don't kill them, it may be difficult to retreat with their whole body, and they will soon arrive at the agreed meeting point, let's fight quickly!" Ruan Wu nodded heavily, picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd, and shouted: "Brothers, the men and horses of the hussar camp are reluctant to let us go, what should we do?" The crowd shouted, "Then send them back to their hometown!" ”

Ruan Wu laughed wildly and rushed out first, Guan Yu left the big gun and the "black panther" in the camp before entering the city, so the temporary mount under the crotch was much slower, but he also followed.

Through the breakthrough of the north gate just now, there were nearly 20,000 Red Turban troops who rushed out. Moreover, many soldiers have opened their hearts and lost their previous reverence for the hussar camp. Because they found that the legendary extremely strong hussar battalion officers and soldiers would also be dizzy when they were hit by a sudden blow, and they would bleed from the slash on their bodies, and they would not be able to stand up if their heads fell off.

Facing the red turban bandits who fled in embarrassment and looked like they were about to collapse with one blow, but suddenly turned around and killed as if they had been beaten at the same time, Xiao Chenggui was very surprised. He couldn't think about it too much, Ruan Wu's Fang Tian painting halberd had already arrived in front of him, and the halberd and lance collided suddenly. Pumping the lance and turning around, a sword slashed head-on, lightly lifted the lance and swung the sword body, as soon as he saw the person, Xiao Chenggui couldn't help but be angry: just a few days after the gunshot wound on his body, the shameless little white face with a black gun appeared again! This time, however, instead of carrying the spear, he was carrying two swords.

Xiao Chenggui threw away Ruan Wu without hesitation, and the silver snake in the air with the long lance in his hand was messy, only attacking the feathers, ignoring the rest. Unexpectedly, Ruan Wu didn't appreciate it, and Fang Tian's halberd flew up and down, never leaving the battle group. Xiao Chenggui secretly gritted his steel teeth, stumbling left and right, and was indignant in his heart: these shameless bandits, last time they fought three times and one one, and they suffered a big loss; This time, two to one, I don't have the slightest advantage to take advantage of, can't I be fair to have a one-on-one?! Thanks to his inability to speak in a contemporary way, otherwise a strong man with a tall and stubble face would painfully utter "The baby is bitter, the baby can't speak!" I don't know how many people will be killed on the spot!

The rear of the hussar camp suddenly heard the sound of killing, and it turned out that Cui Dakui led thousands of elite horsemen who fought bloodily at the south gate to meet them. Seeing this scene, the morale of Ruan Wu's troops suddenly rose even higher, and they shouted in unison to kill each other, if they were to be replaced by government soldiers, they would have already collapsed and scattered when they encountered the front and rear attacks, even if the hussar battalion had been on the battlefield for a long time, their morale was also a setback, and they could grit their teeth and hold on without collapsing.

"General Xiao, we seem to be in an ambush!" A partial general shouted at Xiao Chenggui with a crying voice. Looking in the direction of his finger, Xiao Chenggui couldn't help but gasp, only to see the Red Turban Army behind him, the yellow dust was rolling in three directions at the same time, and the shadow of the war horse galloping was faintly visible, with his years of experience on the battlefield, there were at least more than 30,000 people who came to kill. He immediately made a decision, shook Fang Tian's halberd with a false move, turned his horse first, and shouted at the same time: "Withdraw the troops!" Withdraw troops! Ruan Wu was stunned by his actions, glanced back, and also saw the rolling dust, and instantly tears flashed in his eyes, and shouted: "Brothers, the leader personally commanded the army to come to reinforcements, and kill me fiercely!" Once again, the morale of the Red Turban soldiers soared to an unprecedented level, and the two groups of men and horses converged to pursue the hussar battalion.

In the face of such an unfavorable situation, the whole army was uniform, and no one turned back, regardless of the comrades around them being cut into pulp by the swords and guns they caught up with or the cold arrows flying from behind, all of them bowed their heads and galloped wildly. A pillar of incense. Except for throwing hundreds of corpses and a cloud of dust, all of them completely disappeared from the field of vision of the Red Turban Army.

Guan Yu rode his horse to catch up with Ruan Wu and said: "Third brother, don't fall in love with war, beware of chasing soldiers, let's withdraw too." Ruan Wu replied confidently: "What are you afraid of, our large number of reinforcements are close at hand!" Guan Yu smiled mysteriously: "Where are the reinforcements?" Without waiting for Ruan Wu to ask again, he turned around and rode away, galloped close to the billowing yellow dust, and waved his hand on the horse.

When the dust settled, Ruan Wu, who rushed over, was surprised to see that hundreds of soldiers of the Red Turban Army were slowly untying the weeds and branches tied to the tails of thousands of war horses, and the horses were open and empty.

After the battle, the two sides counted separately, and the 10,000 cavalry under Guan Yu suffered the greatest losses when they caused chaos at the south gate, killing more than 2,000 people. The hussar battalion lost a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses at the south gate, north gate, and pursuit battle. This was the smallest loss of all the iron-blooded collisions between the Red Turban Army and the Hussar Battalion.
