Horseshoe hurry!

In Xiangyang City, the soldiers of Xiangyang Wei have already pulled up a long blockade. And just outside the blockade line, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from a distance outside the city, and then I saw a group of brightly armored cavalry driving straight in, galloping past the eyelids of the crowded Xiangyang people behind the blockade!

The cavalry armor under Liu Bei's command, because it was purchased from the Ma family, its close-fitting shape and good defensive function made the knights on the horse particularly eye-catching at night. In particular, each soldier's war horse also had two senleng spear heads hanging on the lower belly of the victory hook, and the shining horse chopping knife in their hands that could almost illuminate people's faces, and under the rapid rush, almost the people who went out to admire the moon along the way could not open their eyes.

Originally, after the curfew, the people in the city were not allowed to go out. But there are exceptions to everything, major traditional festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Spring Festival, Liu Biao, who has always been very interested in Jingzhou, will make the curfew late for a long time. After all, Xiangyang has been peaceful for a long time, and the people who live here have long developed the same temperament as Liu Biao to watch the wind and clouds.

Therefore, in the face of this sudden cavalry, their performance was a little flustered. But then they burst into cheers as they saw the armor and banners of the galloping knights, and the generals at the forefront of the procession.

If Huo Jun is an emerging star in Xiangyang, then Chen Zhi is a rising star among new stars. Chen Zhi has a cold face and super high martial arts, although he has not been in Xiangyang for a long time, but during the period of Liu Bei's rebellion, his military exploits and victories often flew on the streets of Xiangyang, and because of Liu Bei's prestige, he also penetrated into the hearts of the people of Xiangyang. Therefore, as the masters, these people of Xiangyang showed great tolerance and welcome to Liu Bei and his generals.

But no one noticed that Chen Zhi's face was serious and solemn at this moment, and when he galloped on his horse, the extremely fast speed brought the night breeze through his hair, and he didn't seem to feel even a trace of it. The cold light in his eyes was as sharp as a knife, and his legs were tightly clamped between the horse's belly, and he struggled to raise the horse's whip!

He silently told himself in his heart: No matter what, tonight's events must not be the slightest bit wrong!

Chen Zhi's brows tightened, and when the cavalry team rushed to the Xiangyang City Gate, he ordered the team to stop. At this moment, Xiangyangwei had already evacuated, and Chen Zhi quickly began to convey the order: "Guan Ping, you take five hundred people to close the city gate and take over the suspension bridge!" From now on, not a single fly is allowed to enter Xiangyang City, if something goes wrong, you can go to Runan and ask the second general for guilt! ”

"Liu Pi! You lead a thousand people, responsible for the internal vigilance of Xiangyang City tonight, and Liu Jingzhou will be lenient and happy with the people tonight, but I don't want to see any riots anywhere! ”

"General? The subordinates are difficult to obey, and a thousand people are responsible for the vigilance of the entire Xiangyang City, whether it is manpower or the scope of the vigilance, the subordinates are too busy......"

"Hmph, we were ordered to take over the city defense, and the security guards of Xiangyang County are naturally under our control, so you can take over the soldiers of Xiangyang County!" I don't care how you get the military power, but there is only one result: before dawn, Xiangyang City is safe! No matter what happens, don't mess around! ”

Liu Bi's eyes lit up, and after understanding the sternness in Chen Zhi's tone, he nodded heavily.

"Gong Du! I will also allocate 1,000 people to you, you focus on protecting the eastern city of Xiangyang, where there are all the big lords of the Shi clan, where the entire power center of Xiangyang is located, you just need to take people back and forth to make sure that nothing goes wrong! If anyone dares to trespass or try to cause trouble, you will kill someone! Got it?! ”

"Alright, all the rest, as well as the guard cavalry camp, come with me! We're going to have a big fight tonight!! ”

The Guards Cavalry Battalion is Liu Bei's confidant, and they all shouted when they heard the words! Although many people are also faintly nervous and speculated in their hearts: foreign troops were transferred to Xiangyang City to take over the city defense, and such a big change made it clear that something big was going to happen!

What's more, Chen Zhi's order was very resolute, and he told them bluntly that if someone tried to make trouble if there was a mess, they could let go and kill people!

This is not outside the city, but the entire Xiangyang City of Jingzhou! Especially since they are not Liu Biao's troops at all, it is really unbelievable that they have to carry out such a delicate order!

However, none of the soldiers who can follow Liu Bei to fight in various places, and the more refined they become on the battlefield, none of them are soft eggs, and they are all carefully selected elites! It was Chen Zhi who was an old soldier who was led by the training team, and at this moment the main general gave an order in such a murderous tone, and everyone suddenly seemed to have forgotten everything!

The army of tigers and wolves has such momentum!

What's more, although tonight's situation seems to be very evil, his own lord and Jingzhou Liu Biao are Han clan relatives of the same line, and this time the main general Chen Zhi also has Jingzhou Liu Biao's military power tiger talisman...... Such things, as a soldier who is loyal to the king of food, only need to be a sharp steel knife in the hands of the ruler with peace of mind!

As for what is going to happen in Xiangyang tonight, why do they want to take over the city defense, and even if they want to kill people and fight tonight - as long as it is the order of the lord, everyone will ride their horses and swords to cut down!

With the remaining 2,500 elites, they continued to rush in Xiangyang City, and the scouts holding the command flag rushed quickly, passing on the city defense information everywhere:

"General, fifteen thousand infantry troops outside the city are already stationed, if there is civil strife in Xiangyang City. A stick of incense can enter the city to quell the rebellion! ”

"General, the east and south gates have been taken over, and the city gates have been closed."

"General, the north gate of Xiangyang has been closed, the suspension bridge has been retracted, and the north is completely isolated from Xiangyang City!"

"General, the suspension bridge of the east gate and the south gate has also fallen, and the entire Xiangyang City is like an iron bucket!"

"General, General Liu Pi divided his subordinates into groups to inspect the streets of Xiangyang, and there was no change for the time being!"

"General,......

The various messages passed back and forth made Chen Zhi's tightly locked brows slightly soothed: before taking over Xiangyang, Chen Zhi had studied the city defense of Xiangyang City, and the entire Xiangyang City was surrounded by mountains and water, and was built by taking advantage of the momentum of Xiangshui Hanshui Daxian Mountain, only the east, south, and north three gates, this time all closed the cable, and the entire Xiangyang City was no longer invulnerable. As long as the inner city is not chaotic, the probability of guarding Xiangyang tonight is at least more than half.

As a result, Chen Dao, who had stopped the war horse, looked at the city that was full of people and full of festive joy, and showed a slight smile. Then he thought for a moment, turned back to the knights behind him, and shouted, "The key point tonight is the county guard's mansion, would you like to go with me?!" ”

"I am willing to follow the general until death!" A deafening answer suddenly erupted behind him, and the two thousand five hundred cavalry clenched the reins in their hands at the same time.

"So let me ...... Hey? What's going on ahead and why is there there? ......" Chen Zhi's impassioned words had not yet completely blurted out, and he was immediately attracted by the strange appearance in the east - even though the moon was as bright as a wheel, the fire that suddenly rose in the east faintly reached the sky!

Many people in Xiangyang had also discovered the anomaly, and some people stopped to look at the distant firelight.

For a while, the roads were a little congested. Chen Zhi and his people were blocked on the street leading to the county guard's mansion, and looking at the firelight in the distance, Chen Zhi's face became ugly.

"General, that direction seems to be Dongcheng!" The cavalry in front of him, who was responsible for opening the way, turned back and reported.

When Chen Zhi heard this, his face suddenly became extremely difficult to look at - even though it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festivals during the Han Dynasty were really boring. Because at this time, most of the lighting is made of pine light, which is very prone to fire, so it is not allowed to raise fire at will at night, and it is not allowed to work at night. This time the fire is soaring, there must be civil unrest!

"Quickly send an order to all city towers and ring the curfew alarm in advance! The cavalry stepped forward and ordered all the people to go home and not go out! Chen Zhi immediately issued this order decisively, because he knew that in Xiangyang City, which had 39,898 households, once the streets were full of people, a casual riot would cause a big chaos that could not be ended!

'Hopefully......, it's just that some Haoqiang's mansion accidentally caught fire,' Chen Zhi prayed silently in his heart, but at the same time, reason also told him that on such an important day tonight, such an accident could never really be just an accident.

Sure enough, just after the opening cavalry took action, a group of Xiangyang public security soldiers dressed in infantry light leather armor rushed out of the crowd with shields and swords. There were about 100 county soldiers in this group, and when they came to Chen Zhi and the others, the two groups of people almost collided together.

"General Chen? There are people in the eastern city...... Someone is plotting rebellion! The leading captain, after seeing the battle flag on Chen Dao's side, immediately shouted loudly.

Chen Zhi's eyes immediately turned cold: This night, there is really something big to happen......
