A trace of fish belly white suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, and the black curtain was quietly pulled away, and the morning slowly came.

Niuyu ferry, thirty miles away from Wangyuan City. At this time, Xian Yufu was commanding the army to cross the river in Niuyindu.

On the river, four pontoon bridges were erected. Men and horses passed through the two bridges on the east, and heavy goods passed through the two bridges on the west. The heavily armed soldiers lined up in a neat line, and under the leadership of their respective commanders, they walked up the pontoon bridge in an orderly manner and passed quickly. Truckloads of weapons and equipment, grain and grass were also quickly sent to the other side with the efforts of the officers and men of the Bingcao Battalion.

Jian Shuo and Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Liu He all went to the battlefield with the army for the first time, which was both novel and exciting. They stood by the river, watching the bustling flow of people, listening to the noisy and noisy sounds, and constantly pointing and talking.

"At the beginning, after visiting the battlefield in person, I realized that this march and war knowledge is very large, and it is by no means something that can be strategized and commanded by sitting in the study and studying military books." Liu Biao pointed to the baggage convoy on the other side of the river and said, "If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, it would be difficult for us to make a comparison, in order to ensure that these materials can be transported to the battlefield in time, how much preparation work the army needs to make, and how much manpower, material and financial resources need to be expended." It's a different thing to say and to do. ”

Liu He said with a smile: "Brother Ben Chu and Brother Jingsheng kept asking Lord Xian Yu for tips on marching and fighting along the way, don't you have a lot of experience?" ”

"Don't just have a lesson." Yuan Shao said with a smile, "This trip to Xiliang has gained so much that it is by no means comparable to you and me." We talk behind closed doors at home, thinking we know everything, only to find out that we don't understand anything. ”

He pointed at the army that was crossing the river at a rapid speed with the horsewhip in his hand and asked, "Zi'an, do you know what method can be used to speed up the speed of the army crossing the river?" ”

Liu He asked in surprise: "Brother Benchu, does this soldier still have a knack for crossing the river?" ”

"Of course." Yuan Shao said triumphantly: "With so many troops concentrated on both sides of the Weishui River, you must first consider the safety of the army and prepare for defense and counterattack, so you must reasonably arrange which army crosses the river first and which army crosses the river later." The speed of crossing the river can only be considered when it is certain that it is safe to cross the river. At this time, you should first consider whether the cavalry or the infantry should cross the river first, and when the infantry crossed the river, whether the archers crossed the river first or the spearmen crossed the river first......"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it...... Brother Benchu" Liu He said with his hand, "If you have time, you can keep it for yourself and think about it slowly, I know that fighting a war is too complicated, anyway, I will not lead an army to fight in my life." What about Brother Jingsheng? Do you also want to be like my first brother, and lead thousands of troops and horses to gallop across the field in the future? ”

Liu Biao shook his hand with a smile and said, "I don't have that chance." He pointed at Yuan Shao and said, "Brother Benchu has a great talent for fighting, and he will definitely be a general in the future." ”

Liu He smiled and echoed. Suddenly, he pointed to Jian Shuo, who was standing next to Xian Yufu, and said, "Jian Shuo is also very interested in fighting. I heard that he has good martial arts, is it true? ”

Yuan Shao sneered: "That's also in the palace." You let him try it here? Find a military marquis at random, and you can beat him flat. ”

The three of them laughed maliciously.

Jian Shuo is asking Xian Yufu about Li Hong. Xian Yufu and Li Hong have known each other for a long time, and the two have been fighting together since Li Hong returned to Lulongsai. Xian Yufu understood Jian Shuo's thoughts, and he introduced a lot of Li Hong's affairs, and praised him very much. Hearing more detailed stories than legends, Jian Shuo became more and more curious about this leopard that had never shown up.

"Where is Master Li now?"

"Yesterday he had crossed the river with the panther and was now hunting down the enemy's scouts. There are still fifty miles from here to Yicheng, and if we want to ensure that the army secretly arrives at Yicheng, we must destroy the eyes and ears of the enemy. If nothing else, on the battlefield of Yicheng this afternoon, adults will be able to meet Li Zhonglang. ”

Jian Shuo nodded with a smile and asked, "Why is the army's cavalry gone?" Did they cross the river in advance? ”

Xian Yufu replied nonchalantly: "The cavalry army has crossed the river from another ferry. After meeting up with Li Zhonglang's army, they will rush to the battlefield in the afternoon. ”

Zheng Xin patted his horse and galloped over.

"Your Excellency has an order, order the army to advance quickly, and be sure to arrive at Yicheng at noon."

When the sun rose, the kingdom commanded the Xiliang rebels and launched a fierce siege battle.

Wu Du and Ma Teng commanded an army of 30,000 to attack the south gate continuously. Bands of soldiers rushed across the moat, climbed the ladders, roared forward, and fought bravely. The corpses of the rebel soldiers lay lying on their stomachs among the stones and logs, piled up in the narrow strip beneath the city, blood staining the moat.

Fu Xie and Jun Sima Juwu in the city swore to defend to the death. The defenders suffered heavy casualties, the number of troops was getting smaller and smaller, and the situation was very tense.

In order to open the breakthrough as soon as possible and occupy the city wall, Ma Teng was ready to personally lead people to kill. He ordered his men to abandon the siege for the time being, and first clear the corpses and stones and other obstacles under the city to make room for the follow-up army to settle. Ma Teng's subordinate Ma Chun commanded the men to quickly throw the corpses and debris piled up under the city into the moat.

With an order, the bow battalion fired a dense round of long arrows aimed at the top of the city wall. The horses under the city roared wildly, and with more than a thousand sword and axe men, they pounced fiercely.

Ju Wu was on the left side of the wall, and his defensive position was the first to be broken by the rebels. Ju Wu killed three people in a row, and then met Ma Teng. Ma Teng's war knife slashed down on his head, and the momentum sank, Ju Wu couldn't resist it, and was cut in two by the company with a knife. Lao Ding in the distance was angry, he was Ju Wu's subordinate, and when he saw Shangguan being killed, he was so angry that he wanted to tear his eyes and roared again and again. He aimed at Ma Teng and fired five arrows in a row. Ma Teng swung his sword, blocked two arrows in a row, and then he was in a hurry. In a hurry, he yelled, grabbed a city guard, and blocked him in front of him. Three roaring arrows pierced the corpse of the defender in an instant. The embarrassed Ma Teng opened his eyes angrily, opened his mouth and let out a howl, and then he lifted the corpse of the soldier who was shot by Lao Ding, and rushed towards Lao Ding. Lao Ding was carried away by hatred, and he was not afraid, and shot three more arrows. Ma Teng's war knife was killed, and in the shout, Lao Ding's head flew up, and blood burst out, splashing Ma Teng's head and face.

Ma Teng bared his teeth, threw down the corpse in his hand with hatred, and spat out a mouthful of blood that sprayed into his mouth towards Lao Ding's head.

"Brothers, kill ......"

Ma Yu and Li Ransom were killed one left and one right. More and more rebel soldiers gathered on the walls. Under the leadership of Ma Teng, they stubbornly pushed forward. The defense of the left wall was about to collapse.

Fu Xie, who was directing the battle on the right side of the city wall, was in danger, he pointed at Yang Hui and shouted: "Order the crossbow team to shoot, shoot ......"

Yang swung his spear and raised one of the rebel soldiers in the air, then roared and threw him off the wall. Then he rushed to the vicinity of the corridor in a few steps, and shouted at the more than 100 archers lurking in the corridor: "Shoot ......, shoot ...... to the left, shoot them to death......"

Ma Teng and a group of subordinates were happily killing, thinking that they had the chance to win, but they didn't expect a batch of sharp arrows to fall from the sky, and they suddenly lay down a large area. Ma Yu hurriedly picked up a shield, protected Ma Teng, and shouted: "Let's go, let's withdraw first, withdraw ......"

Ma Teng ignored him at all, kicked off the long shield, raised his knife and shouted: "Brothers, kill ...... with me"

Fu Xie rushed over with dozens of attendants.

Ma Teng saw a dazzling war knife flying in the air. Facing the sun, he was shot by the light of the opponent's sword, and he couldn't open his eyes for a while, and in shock, he took two steps back and waved his knife wildly. "When ......" there was a loud bang, and the tiger's mouth cracked.

Ma Teng saw the murderous Fu Xie, and his heart was cold.

"Kill ......" Fu Xie roared, holding the knife in both hands, and slashed again. Ma Teng didn't have time to change his moves, and hurriedly sealed the frame. "When ......" sounded, the sword shattered. The horror in Ma Teng's heart suddenly reached its peak, and he opened his mouth to let out a desperate roar.

Fu Xie was so angry that he was about to explode, and his war knife was broken by a long arrow at the moment when it chopped into Ma Teng's body. The already broken sword suddenly burst open, and one end of the handle slashed into Ma Teng's armor, drawing a string of sparks in all directions. Ma Teng chose a life, and flew back with palpitations. Fu Xie kicked up a war knife with one kick, and his body leaped, holding a knife in one hand and clenching his fist in the other, and attacked Ma Teng again.

Ma Yu came with three or four people in a swarm, and everyone stabbed on them, and immediately wrapped Ma Teng into the crowd. Fu Xie punched Pegasus Yu's round shield, and at the same time slashed down with his right hand, chopping one of Ma Teng's attendants to death with a shield to the ground. Fu Xie flew up and kicked Ma Yu down, killing the crowd guarding Ma Teng like a tiger.

"Ma Teng, I'm going to kill you......" Fu Xie looked like crazy, and screamed hoarsely.

It was three poles in the sun, and it was only in June that the thunder and his Qiang army slowly rushed to the east gate to line up.

Although Beigong Boyu is his good brother, June Thunder hopes that he will die soon. This person has been stationed in Huangzhong with his tribes, hindering the migration of Baimaqiang, Shenlangqiang and other Qiang tribes. Beigong Boyu is a Qiang who grew up in Huangzhong, and has lived with the Han people since he was a child, and has learned a lot of Han things, but he has not grown at all, and he does things forward, and June Thunder does not like him.

In June, Thunder and other Qiang tribes sent troops to Xiliang to help the rebels attack the official army, in addition to taking the opportunity to loot property, mainly to migrate into Han. Lao Bian, Han Sui, Beigong Boyu and others invited him to send troops to help, and this is how they agreed to him. Now that Beigong Boyu is dead, the Huangzhong Qiang tribe has no big leader, and a group of Xiaoqu Shuai in the clan have to fight for the position of this big leader, and it is difficult for the Huangzhong Qiang people to unite with the outside world in the short term. This gave other Qiang people outside the Saiwai an opportunity to move to Huangzhong. Northwest Yu is already planning to move to Han next year. Now that Beigong Boyu is dead, the strength of the Qiang people in Huangzhong has been greatly damaged, who would dare to stop the Qiang people from moving inward?

Xiliang rebellion is good. If this continues every year, in a few years, the Qiang people outside the Saiwai will be able to move to the counties of Xiliang one after another.

"Marshal, are we starting to attack?" Reva asked. Leva is one of several of his right-hand men, the clan's Xiaoqu Shuai.

June Thunder looked at the guards on the city tower, shook his head, and asked: "Join the wolf, first zero, burn dang, burn the army of several big clans have come up?" ”

"The army of the Burning He clan has not yet caught up, and it is estimated that the Heavenly Wolf is still eating in the camp." Reva laughed.

June Thunder shook his head as he cursed quietly.

"Dashuai, Mr. Wang, Mr. Han, and Ma Da Man, are all attacking the city, are we also acting as a show." Leva whispered, "This look, it's a little ......"

June Thunder glanced at him and said with a smile: "How many women did Mr. Wang send to you yesterday?" ”

"Two?" Reva said, "Like the big handsome, two. Why do you ask this? ”

"I just sent you two women, and you worked so hard?" June laughed, "You're too unproductive." ”

"Hehe...... "Reva laughed dryly, "the big guy is joking." This Mr. Wang is much more generous than Mr. Bian and Mr. Han. ”

June Thunder glanced at him dissatisfied, scolded twice, and then said: "Old man Wang is very stingy, and he looks down on us Qiang people, do you know? ”

Reva shook her head in confusion.

"After he became a marshal, I went to ask him, when can my people move to Longxi, or move to Wudu County? He didn't answer at all, and he was talking nonsense with me. He didn't want to. This is not as good as Mr. Bian and Mr. Han. They strongly advocated that we move inward, and also hoped that we would move inward as soon as possible, and talked about the benefits of the Qiang people's inward relocation. ”

June Jinglei looked at Lei Wa and said, "When Mr. Bian asked me, do you want to be rich or do you want to be rich for all generations, do you want to be fed and clothed alone, or do you want the whole clan to be fed and clothed?" June Thunder paused, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Bian is dead." Now, you should know who is generous and who is stingy, right? ”

Reva nodded and cursed hatefully.

Horned horses galloped from afar.

"Dashuai, the people of the wolf clan asked when you will start attacking?"

"What's the rain in the northwest?" June Thunder frowned and said, "How many women did Old Man Wang give him yesterday?" ”

Niu Jiao shook his head suspiciously, and said, "Last year, several brothers of Northwest Yu were killed by Huangfu Song in Yicheng, so he was anxious to take revenge this time. Northwest Yu was worried that once the city was captured by Ma Dazi and Mr. Han first, he would have no chance to slaughter the city. ”

Lei Wa sneered and said, "I think his revenge is fake, and it is true to go into the city to rob money and rob women." ”

"Ignore him." June Thunder waved his hand and said, "If he wants to attack, give him an attack, let's shoot a few rounds of arrows and cooperate with him." ”

Han Sui hoped that the army would be able to take the West City Gate in the afternoon.

He ordered Li Kan and Zhang Heng to lead their troops to launch a feint attack on the left flank of the city gate, and let Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin lead the main army to carry out a strong attack on the right flank of the city gate.

Han Sui personally supervised the formation under the city. The rebels launched a fierce offensive.

Although Huangfu Zheng's subordinates fought hard, the enemy launched an attack on the entire city wall, and the attack points were numerous and scattered, and the soldiers ran back and forth in order to defend the city wall, exhausted. By noon, the number of dead was increasing, and the defense was already seriously insufficient. The soldiers were exhausted and gradually unable to support themselves.

The right flank walls were again broken through by the rebels. Huang Fei led the last dozen people to rush up. Everyone was immediately surrounded by the swarming rebels. A frenzied slashing and slashing.

Huang Fei split three people in a row, unstoppable, and fought fiercely. The soldiers who followed him could not resist the siege of the enemy and fell down with screams. Huang Fei's blood was full of anger, he stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, screaming and shouting, slashing and slashing wantonly, completely ignoring his life and death. Blood flowed in his body, stumps and broken arms flew in front of his eyes, roars echoed in his ears, anger burned in his heart, and he slew forward with no relentless progress. He cut down the last enemy in front of him and saw the blood-stained cyan walls. Thinking that he had killed all the enemies, he excitedly raised his sword, stood among the bloody corpses, and shouted at the rebels outside the city: "Kill them all, I will kill them all......"

"Poof...... Poof......", the sound of the spear poking into the body was dull and harsh. Huang Fei saw more than a dozen cold spears rushing out of his body from different directions. Blood bursts out.

The defense of the right flank wall collapsed in an instant.

Han Sui saw the battle flags fluttering on the city wall, heard the excited cheers of the soldiers, and finally showed a smile on his cold face.

"Order the candidate, Cheng Yi, lead another five hundred men, and attack the left flank wall one last time."

"Drumming...... Ready to go into town ......"

Huangfu Zheng and a dozen soldiers were surrounded by the enemy. Huangfu Zheng is fighting, shouting, and fighting with life and death. He saw that the military marquis Wucheng had fallen, that several war knives were still brutally chopping his corpse, and that Wucheng's flesh and blood were flying in the air. Huang Fu Zheng's heart ached, and the sword slashed at the enemy's head with hatred and fury, and warm blood spurted out, splashing on his face that was extremely distorted by hatred. Huangfu Zheng roared wildly, shouting vigorously: "Brothers, kill ......"

Crossbowmen poured onto the walls. The candidate pointed to Huangfu Zheng, who was slashing back and forth in the crowd like a madman, and there was no one to stop him, and shouted: "Shoot him...... Shoot him for me......"

The rebel soldiers surrounding Huangfu Zheng heard the shouts of the candidates, and one by one they retreated as if they were about to be amnestied. More than a dozen crossbowmen picked up their short crossbows and shot crossbow arrows at the same time as Huangfu Zheng, who was rushing towards him with his sword raised. Huang Fu Zheng's body shook violently a few times in the process of running, and then stopped, and then the war knife and spear in the hands of the rebel soldier shot like raindrops towards Huang Fu Zheng, who was covered in blood.

The candidate let out a long breath, then turned his face triumphantly to look inside the city. He saw a pair of thick eyebrows, a familiar face, and his heart suddenly contracted.

Hua Xiong appeared on the city wall.
