The flames burned in the rain.

The wind in the mist rushed to the city, the roaring voice waved the weapon and struggled to advance the front, the blade wiped through the leather armor and brought up a stream of blood light, flying around, a Jizhou soldier fell on the slippery blood, staggered to his feet, opened his mouth slightly, the smell of blood 'ha' spurted out of his throat with a short sound, a companion's head swirled over, the rich red splashed his face, not far away, the enemy who kept climbing up tore through the rain curtain, and a feather arrow pierced his mouth at some point, and penetrated through the back of his neck.

Drop by drop, the blood fell......

At the head of the city, Jiang Qi led the team to run, the iron helmet on his head had fallen somewhere, the armor on his body was half stained with blood, and he passed through the chaotic battle groups, "Drive them off the city wall!" He roared, slashed to death a rushing Xiliang soldier with a knife, and pulled a lieutenant over and yelled at the other party: "Take people to guard the inner wall to take over, don't let them snatch the city gate-"

His voice seemed small in the boiling battlefield, the lieutenant heard the order, and hurriedly organized hundreds of people under his command to go to the staircase to reinforce, the surrounding archers were covered by sword and shield soldiers to shoot arrows downward, arrows and locusts intertwined in the air, and the arrows shot up from below were nailed into the battlements and human bodies, and the archers who leaned out from time to time let out a terrible scream and fell to the city.

In the midst of countless sounds, attacking the fortifications or guarding the city walls, thousands of Xiliang soldiers stood on the city, and the sound of shouting and killing became more intensive, the collision of weapons, the pushing of the body, Jiang Qi turned his head, and in the splashed blood water, a figure rushed to the opposite side, the blade in his hand, slashed to death a Jizhou soldier, half of his face was bloody, and his fierce eyes suddenly looked at this side, "You are Jiang Qi?!" In the roar, the whole body was covered in armor, and the sturdy body directly squeezed away several Jizhou soldiers, and killed dozens of people, and in a blink of an eye, the sword light cut out, cutting off the rain curtain.

The slash enlarged in his sight, and Jiang Qi dragged a spear to meet the enemy general who was killing with a knife on the opposite side, and the corners of his mouth cracked, "Ah! Roaring almost in a rage, brandishing the spear and stabbing it several times, and slashing with the slashing blade several times, the enemy general was sturdy and straight, and clamped the spear that had been stabbed at the end under his armpit, and when Jiang Qi struggled to drag, the footsteps of the opposite figure took half a step forward, and he also let out "Wow! With a roar, he waved the ring-headed knife in his other hand and slashed at Jiang Qi's head—

The chopped blade fell short on the person, one end of the spear fell to the ground with a crisp sound, Jiang Qi rolled back in embarrassment, his hair hung down in a mess, and then the moment he got up and drew the sword, the figure of swinging the knife and slashing the air exploded in the rain, and the killing intent was surging and the rain and blood rushed wildly, and the weapon was waved in his hand. Jiang Qi raised his sword and roared, kicked his legs and pounced, and the two figures collided violently.

The weapons slammed into each other, the water droplets on it shook away, the ping-pong fought a few times, and in the next second, the long sword was knocked out along with Jiang Qi and hit the wall, his eyes widened, and he looked at the figure coming with the knife in disbelief, it was the person he had seen in Yecheng.

"Gao Shun...... Aren't you dead in Xuzhou? ”

The drizzle fell on people's shoulders, Gao Shun, who was carrying a knife, approached Jiang Qi who was leaning against the wall, and the soldiers of the two people around him had already rushed into a ball, and just when Jiang Qi said his words, a nearby guard rushed out of the fight and shouted: "The general is leaving, I can't hold it, withdraw first!" After speaking, he clenched the weapon in his hand and rushed towards Gao Shun.

Gao Shun, who came over, was still silent, raised his hand and slashed the rushing person to death, and then looked at the opposite side, Jiang Qi, who was originally leaning on the other side, was escorted by several Jizhou soldiers towards the inner wall with his chest covered his chest. Countless hoarse shouts and screams converged into a picture of the battle on the city's head, and when viewed from above, the black wave divided into waves and advanced, and large swaths began to spread up the city walls and eat away at the city's head.

The big banner of the Yuan character hanging on the city tower was cut in the rain with a knife, and the flag fell down. Soon the gates were opened from the inside, and countless crowds of people entered the gates and spread to the streets.

"Jiang Qi has fled—"

"The people of Guanzhong are not allowed to go to the streets, and they stay at home......"

"We're the Northland Xiliang Army—"

With the huge chaos, and all kinds of noisy shouts, this pass fell into the hands of Gongsun Zhi again a few years later, and the sudden start of the war, Jiang Qi's defeat, the message turned into a flurry and spread...... crossed mountains, rivers, and cities, and finally fell into the hands of Yuan Shao.

The soft golden glow spread out under the clouds and sprinkled over Yecheng, Yuan Shao had seen the improved bow and crossbow with all the civil and military forces on the school field, talked a few words, and saw this information again, his face was difficult to see the extreme, and he was silent for a moment: "So...... Five Nguyen Pass was captured? ”

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, "Back to my father, the news came half a month ago, General Jiang has not come back yet, but he has not died in battle, he should be on the way to ......"

"Waste ......"

The words of sudden anger resounded here, Yuan Shao threw the silk in his hand to the ground, and Yuan Xi hurriedly stepped forward and ran over: "Father, don't use your liver fire, you have old injuries on your body, and you are not easy to get angry." The former, who was dignified and didn't care about his son's words, waved his hand, then took a deep breath and glanced at everyone.

“.…… You also heard it just now, Gongsun Zhi fought without declaring it, Wuruan Pass was captured, what did he think, thinking that I, Yuan Shao, couldn't see it? The signs of the mobilization of troops and horses in Shanggu County are obviously to start a war against Liaodong, but at this time, they launched an attack on Wuruan Pass, unintentionally to make me unable to spare my hands...... What a joke! ”

"It's the Xiliang Army over there...... That is to say, it was Xu Rong who led the army...... "The judge frowned, "I heard that Cao Cao led the troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, and he almost lost his life in the hands of this person, and Xu Rong also confronted Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, and he is a rare general, but it is not as good as the lord to go in person, just send a general to block it, and send another army out of Youzhou to kill Gongsun Zhi's army in Liaodong." ”

"Well, that's what I mean."

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at the generals: "Who wants to lead the troops to recapture Wuruan Pass and repel Xu Rong on this trip?" ”

A figure stepped forward.

"The last general is willing to go, cut off Xu Rong's head for the lord, and present it to the front of the case!" It was Zhang He, one of the four court pillars, who spoke. Yuan Shao nodded, looked at him and said, "Okay, since you are willing to go, who can be a pioneer?" ”

The golden light shone on the people's faces, the breeze blew, and a figure in the crowd took the initiative to stand up, Feng Ji arched his hand towards the lord opposite, "Lord, Ji recommends Koji Yi as the vanguard, I heard that Xu Rongxi Liangjun is good at fighting, if Koji Yi is in front, it can also frustrate the enemy's spirit." ”

Yuan Shao stared at him and didn't speak, obviously thinking about other things, his eyes were complicated, he pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Okay, let him go." ”

Barracks outside the city.

The banner of koji characters hunted in the air, the whole barracks began to operate in silence, the soldiers began to gather the ranks, some of them sharpened their blades in the tents, the pack horses had eaten enough, and began to pull the carts, pulling the heavy baggage to the road slowly, on the huge school field, the koji yi on the high platform pinched the silk from the seal of the general, and finally had a smile on his tense face.

As well as disdain.

"Jiang Qi's house, it's really a waste, the Xiliang army can't beat it, then I'll call you to show it......" He pulled out his sword and looked at the eight hundred private soldiers below - the first to the dead, "Brothers, the opportunity for meritorious service has come, last time, we defeated the famous white horse horseman, this time we will face the Xiliang army, do you dare!" ”

"Conquer everything, only I will go first!" On this school field, 800 people let out a sonorous shout, and their voices were strong and powerful.

On the high platform, the blade of the sword slashed down in the sunlight.

"So, let's go—"

Dusk fell to the west, and soon after, the army set out of camp and set out on the road to the north, the banner meandered in the dusk of the twilight, the lonely land of Jizhou gradually became noisy, the start of the war broke the calm of the city, a woman met a scribe at home, handed over a wealth that could not be refused, and even several beautiful women.

The latter, after hesitating for a long time, finally pocketed the things.

***********

In the north, Shanggu County is on the road to the grasslands of western Liaoning.

Soon after a spring rain, the road was muddy and soft, and the carriages covered with rain were carrying heavy loads and moving slowly, and the heavy weight made many carriages fall into mud puddles.
