At dusk, in the city of Shaanxi.

Naked and with a large piece of chest hair, Niu Fu was awakened by the chaotic sound of soldiers and horses, he opened his eyes and subconsciously looked around, and when he saw the two witches on the left and right of the bed, he recalled the events of this whole day in a trance.

These days, although Li Su, who repelled the commander and the state soldiers who came to conquer him, relieved the immediate urgency, but the Chang'an Incident, Dong Zhuo died, and the generals of the Xiliang Army died and surrendered, under the influence of this drastic change, the morale of the Xiliang soldiers in Shaanxi County was also depressed, Niu Fu knew that the Chang'an court had exterminated the Dong family, and naturally he would not pardon the remnants of Dong Zhuo's family, so he had been worried.

wanted to fight back against Chang'an, Niu Fu expected that he was not the opponent of Emperor Fu Song, Lu Bu and others in the middle of the court, and wanted to retreat to Kanto, but Luoyang was broken, but there was no danger to rely on.

When he was in a dilemma, Niu Fu still thought of the group of witches around him who could do ghosts and gods and know good and bad.

So Niu Fu left his mansion in Shaanxi County, and came to the old witch's house in person, after asking the old witch to practice the witchcraft of disaster for herself, Niu Fu had already spent most of his energy, but after drinking the old witch's talisman water, Niu Fu instantly became energetic again.

Several female apprentices of the old witch also took the opportunity to come to Niu Fu's side to scratch their heads and make gestures, Niu Fu saw the young and beautiful female apprentices of the old witch, and for a while he was also itching, and immediately prostituted himself during the day, and fought with several young witches on the bed in the old witch's house, until he was exhausted again, and then fell asleep.

After thinking back to the events of this whole day, Niu Fu looked at the young witches on the bed who had faded their robes and their skin was snowing, and he laughed proudly, and was about to flirt with these young witches for a while, when the sound of chaotic soldiers and horses running in the city sounded in his ears again.

Niu Fu was a man who had seen a soldier after all, he frowned, immediately resisted the temptation, withdrew from the bed, hastily put on his clothes, and shouted loudly to the guards outside the house:

"What happened in the city, and why did you scream?"

Hearing Niu Fu's angry inquiry, the guards outside the house who were also panicked and panicked were also confused, but they didn't know how to answer after answering, and they were at a loss, the guards who had heard the sound of soldiers and horses in the city and went out to inquire about the situation had hurried back and brought news that shocked everyone.

"Hu Chi'er claimed that Ganling colluded with the state soldiers, intending to rebel, and led the troops out of the city to attack the Ganling camp with Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses, but was defeated by Ganling, and the defeated soldiers rushed into the city, and Ganling took advantage of the victory and claimed that Hu Chi'er had taken me hostage and drove troops to attack the city······"

Niu Fu, who learned the general situation in the city from his guards, was stunned and muttered to himself that he had only left the mansion for a day or two, and the generals under his tent fought with each other, even to the point of sending troops to attack each other, which eventually caused chaos in the city.

On weekdays, Niu Fu also knew that because of the withdrawal of the army from Baibo Valley that year, Hu Chi'er and Gan Ling had a private holiday, but he thought that with his authority, he could completely suppress the private fight between the two, and at the same time let the two check and balance each other.

But he didn't expect that since the Chang'an Incident and Dong Zhuo's death, the momentum of the Xiliang Army has plummeted, and even the prospects of the army are very worrying.

"Where is Hu Chi'er now?"

Niu Fu listened to the chaotic sound of soldiers and horses in the city, and thought of Hu Chi'er, the culprit of all this, his face immediately became very ugly, and he asked viciously.

The guards outside the house looked at each other, and they only learned that after Hu Chi'er's defeat, a large number of routs poured into the city, causing turmoil, but as for Hu Chi'er himself, after the defeat, they did not know where he fled to.

"Hurry up and get Hu Chi'er for me!"

Niu Fu saw that no one responded from the guards, and he knew that Hu Chi'er had not yet been found, so he immediately jumped like thunder, roaring loudly and asking the guards to find Hu Chi'er.

When his guards saw that Niu Fu was going to choose someone to devour, they were afraid that they would harm themselves, so they immediately ran away one by one, scattered into several teams, and ran out quickly.

One of the guards rode on horseback, looking in the opposite direction with the defeated soldiers in the city, and it took some time, and when they were about to approach the city gate, they finally saw Hu Chi'er riding a war horse with a panicked face, followed by some defeated soldiers.

"Brother Hu, why did you end up like this?"

Several of the guards were people who were familiar with Hu Chi'er, and one of them saw Hu Chi'er's dejected appearance, and remembered Hu Chi'er's momentum of spears like forests and flags like clouds when he went out of the city, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Hu Chi'er was defeated, panicked like a lost dog, and when he arrived in the city, he was still unsettled, hearing the guard's inquiry, his face was miserable, and he couldn't care about the meaning of the other party's words, and the scenes at the time of the defeat appeared in his mind.

More than an hour ago

"Sima Ganling intends to rebel, and he is ordered by General Zhonglang to come to crusade, and the camp does not want to obey the traitors, so quickly abandon his weapons and surrender!"

"Hu Chi'er pretended to pass on military orders and plotted against him, the second and third sons should not believe his treacherous words, strictly obey military orders, and stick to the camp."

······

In the ineffectiveness of their respective verbal and sword attacks, the soldiers and horses outside the battalion sent a team of armored soldiers with large swords to resist the arrows on the gatehouse, and behind them, there were many light soldiers carrying firewood and grass and other fire-causing things, regardless of casualties, rushed to the front of the camp gate from several ravines filled in, and continued to pile up firewood and grass in front of the camp gate, and when the amount of firewood and grass was piled up enough, some soldiers lit the flames and began to burn the camp gate.

Although the guards on the gate tower wanted to use water to extinguish the fire, there was no leak hole above the camp gate, and it was difficult to draw water from the gatehouse, so the fire at the camp gate was still raging and out of control.

And as time passed, the heat wave could be felt on the gatehouse, and the fire ignited by firewood and grass outside the camp gate had burned the thick and sturdy camp gate to half scorch.

"Woo-woo-"

Seeing that the camp gate had been almost burned, Hu Chi'er's side was waiting for a long horn in the military formation, and several teams of soldiers carried rams, under the escort of shield-wielding soldiers, and accelerated towards the direction of the camp gate.

Although the arrows of the guards on the parapet wall flew down like raindrops, and on this short journey, there were soldiers who fell to the ground one after another, but this time, Hu Chi'er personally marched the military method, up to the commanding officers, and down to the soldiers attacking the camp, all gritted their teeth and did not dare to retreat lightly, but stepped up their rhythm to attack the camp gate.

Enduring the mounting casualties, the ram approached the camp gate. The soldiers immediately shouted their trumpets, and one after the other began to pound the camp gate, which had been scorched for the most part, and there were still some flames remaining.

Soon, the camp gate was hit by a large hole in the ram, and the soldiers who attacked the camp gate were immediately greatly encouraged, and the rhythm of the impact was intensified.

In the end, after repeated collisions, the camp gate was finally breached.

"The camp gate has been breached, rush in!"

Seeing that the camp gate was finally breached, not only the soldiers besieging the city cheered, but the military officials who commanded the attack on the camp gate were also overjoyed, and stepped up to call their soldiers to rush into the camp.

However, those soldiers who wanted to rush through the camp gate first soon found that the road to the camp had been blocked by obstacles such as earth and stones, chariots, etc., and they could only be forced to stop, and at this time, a rain of arrows in the camp also arrived as scheduled, and the soldiers who attacked the camp who were densely crowded in one place were shot down in an instant.

Under this deterrence, the offensive momentum of the soldiers who had broken through the camp gate and their morale was high was also contained, and a large number of soldiers who wanted to attack the camp gathered in front of the camp gate, passively bearing the attack of the increasingly dense arrow rain, unable to advance or retreat, and the soldiers' military spirit began to waver.

"Why don't you take advantage of the situation and attack the camp?"

Hu Chi'er, who was supervising the battle in front of the battle, had been watching the battle situation, and when he saw the attacking soldiers who were hesitant and intended to retreat, he was impatient, and he couldn't wait for the return of the cavalry, so he immediately slapped his horse forward, found the military officer who commanded the attack, and asked sharply.

"The road to the camp in front has been blocked, and the soldiers are not allowed to enter the camp after a hard fight, not because we have the intention of cowardice!"

The military officer who commanded the attack on the camp looked at the camp gate, but still failed to break into the camp, he was also impatient in his heart, and in the face of Hu Chi'er's questioning, he could only explain his distress to Hu Chi'er, who asked the teacher with a bitter face.

"Since you can't get in after a hard fight, then continue to hit me with a battering hammer, and you will definitely knock out a path for me today!"

Hu Chi'er saw that his soldiers were about to attack the camp, and he could not tolerate falling short again, so he immediately ignored the casualties of the soldiers, and ordered to continue to invest his troops, and smashed the obstacles behind the camp gate with a battering hammer to clear a way for his soldiers.

"This, No!"

In such a situation, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and the military officials who commanded the attack on the camp gate did not dare to have other complaints in front of Hu Chi'er, so they could only bow their heads and receive orders, and continue to command the soldiers carrying the battering hammer to step forward, use the battering hammer to hit the obstacles, and desperately clear a way for the rear soldiers to enter the camp.

Regardless of the casualties, the soldiers and horses outside the camp threw all the soldiers into the camp gate, clearing obstacles, fighting for control of the road into the camp, and even the cavalry, which had been useless, was ordered by Hu Chi'er to dismount, holding bows and arrows as foot archers, and suppressing the archers who were still firing arrows on the parapet.

The soldiers defending in the battalion also gritted their teeth to resist the fierce onslaught of the enemy, and took advantage of the obstacle fortifications to continue to kill and wound a large number of soldiers attacking the battalion.

The attacking and defending sides tried their best to fight for the camp gate, as if the camp gate became a meat grinder, and the attacking and defending soldiers used bows and arrows, spears, and swords to constantly harvest the lives of the enemy.

As time passed, the fierce offensive and defensive battles gradually favored the attacking side, and most of the obstacles behind the camp gate had been cleared by the ram, and the two sides had also entered the final stage of hand-to-hand combat.

"Our soldiers have broken into the camp!"

Hu Chi'er, who supervised the war, finally heard the only news that made him ecstatic today, he looked at the soldiers who kept pouring into the camp at the camp gate, with a smug smile on his face, he secretly thought to himself, as a victor, he must trample Ganling's head under his feet and humiliate him wantonly, so that he can atone for his guilt and let out a breath of evil that he has been holding back for so long.

Unfortunately, before the proud Hu Chi'er could get rid of his imagination, he heard the roar of a heavy object hitting the ground, and he followed the sound to look towards the source of the sound, only to see that the fence at the northeast corner of the fortified camp had been torn down a large section, and the fallen parapet raised a large puff of smoke.

Before Hu Chi'er could react from this sudden change, he heard the earth-shattering sound of thousands of horses galloping, and then from the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated, one after another horse heads that charged forward emerged from the smoke and dust······

"What's wrong with Brother Hu, isn't he suffering from hysteria?"

The playful inquiries of the guards around him instantly pulled Hu Chi'er back to reality, and he suddenly realized that he had been defeated, and at this moment he had fled back to the city.

"I was careless for a while, I fell for the trick of the thief, hurry, the thief of Ganling may take advantage of the situation to attack the city, take me to see the lord quickly!"

Hu Chi'er said urgently, but the few guards opposite him did not move, they glanced at each other, remembered Niu Fu's terrifying appearance just now, smiled bitterly, or the guard who had spoken before spoke again.

"Brother Hu, if you want to see the lord, you have to understand what the fate is!"

Hu Chi'er's heart suddenly cooled when he heard this, he followed Niu Fu for a long time, and he was too clear about Niu Fu's temperament, once Niu Fu heard these news, what kind of reaction would he have, no need to ask, it can be seen from the faces of other people alone.

Niu Fu was only afraid that what he was thinking at the moment was to cut off his head and send it out of the city to persuade the soldiers and horses of Ganling to retreat.

And he has unconsciously walked into a dead end, there is Ganling who has formed a mortal enmity with him outside the city, and there is Niu Fu who asks the teacher in the city, no matter where he goes, he will not escape a dead end.

At the end of the road, Hu Chi'er was disheartened, and all that poured into his ears was the sound of panicked soldiers and horses in the city, and he didn't know that after a long time, a fierce color suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly approached the guard, grabbed his wrist, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

"This army of Shaanxi County, I think it's going to end!"

···

"What, Hu Chi'er was afraid of crime, and led his troops to attack and kill General Zhonglang!"

In a makeshift tent outside the city, Gan Ling's eyes widened in surprise and joy as he watched the defeated soldier who had escaped from the city captured by his scouts, and under his gaze, the captured defeated soldier was so frightened that he could only bury his head in the ground.

He was one of the many soldiers who wanted to escape from Shaanxi County when Hu Chi'er attacked and killed Niu Fu and the chaos in the city intensified.

"Sima, from the mouths of several other fugitives, the news I got is basically the same."

An officer who had interrogated several other rout soldiers who had escaped from the city confirmed to Ganling.

"Take him down first!"

Gan Ling bowed his head and waved his hand to let the soldier take the fugitive soldier down. He walked back and forth a few steps, but still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he rubbed his hands, looked at several military officials around him who were also eager to fight, settled down, and said loudly:

"Today's things, if you advance, you will succeed, and if you retreat, you will die. Now Hu Chi'er attacked and killed Zhonglang General, the city is already in chaos, and the opportunity must not be lost, the second and third sons listen to my orders, blow the trumpet to attack the city, and take Shaanxi County! ”
