The wind blew through the treetops and to the eaves, the lanterns swayed, the orange light flickered on the ground, and in the darkness an orange light walked across the yard, and there was a slight rustling sound, and the banging of the watch rang for a while.

The guards in the backyard probably yawned, guarding the moon gate, and the edge of the corridor in and out, the figure of the guard walked past them, turned to the other side, glanced at the confined house over there, and at the next turn, Han Long blew out the fire candle in the lantern and burrowed into the bushes next to him.

His footsteps gently stepped over the fallen leaves on the ground, his breathing almost stopped, and as he went, his eyes kept paying attention to the guards under the eaves, and occasionally a patrolling group of guards passed above his head, and when the footsteps were far away, he climbed over the guardrail, jumped under the eaves and stuck to the root of the wall or hid behind the wooden pillars with elaborate patterns under the eaves and approached the door.

Silence.

In the midst of his steady breathing, after observing the movements of the guards again, Han Long took out the dagger from his trousers, this is a very peculiar weapon, the body is narrow and extremely thin, and it is easily inserted through the gap in the door, and his wrist trembles slightly, as if he has silently pushed something away.

The other hand seemed to press the side of the door, and in a moment, the door opened a gap slightly, and the blade turned upside down and stuck to the wrist, Han Long glanced back at the guard five zhang away, and slowly pushed it away with one hand on the lower edge of the door, and the thin body flashed in, and then gently covered it up.

The faint light shining in from the window, in the dimness was the outline of the bed, and the dark shadow lying on its side was breathing evenly, and there was no sudden addition of a person in the room without noticing. Over there, his steps moved cautiously, beware of touching the tiny ornaments that might appear in the room, and his eyes looked at the other side without blinking, and then approached.

The thin knife attached to the wrist is flipped in the hand and held upside down.

One-step...... Two-step ...... Three-step ...... When the figure was almost less than ten steps away from the sleeping old man, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house, running towards this side, on the bed, the figure seemed to hear the movement, and the moment Han Long frowned, he turned around and dodged behind a screen not far away.

The gently concealed door was pushed open, and the stumbling figure rushed in, and the old man was sitting up from the bed at this time.

“…… Master, no! The Xiliang army is about to fight to the city......"

"What about Lu Bu and the others?" This is the voice of the old man.

"The news from outside says that the West ...... The Xiliang army had more than 100,000 people besieging the city, and Wen Hou had already led his troops out of the city to meet the battle. ”

"Confused, the thief army is strong, it is right to defend the city, the old man has sent Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to go out of the city to meet the enemy army, can there be any news back?"

"Small...... I don't know ......."

The sound of squirming and dressing, after a while, the old man's voice sounded again: "The Xiliang army is strong, and there are not enough soldiers in the city, you immediately send my order, quickly send people to the ministers' homes, and let them send domestic servants and guards to guard the city together......"

The voice of the voice followed the footsteps away from the door, behind the screen, the figure walked out and saw the door that was not closed, and knew that the matter was very urgent, after Han Long saw that there was no one outside, he quietly slipped out, and was about to find an opportunity to go out to find Li Heizi, when a person who looked like a steward suddenly stopped him: "You come here...... Quickly go to the front yard and assemble and go up to the city wall to help defend the city. ”

A thought flashed through Han Long's mind, and he nodded.

……

How did the Xiliang army push over, the time had to be pushed forward a little, and Li Ru, who had quietly changed, returned to see the general who had stepped on the war horse.

On the school field in the center, there are still some soldiers waiting for orders, and the black pressure is standing there, over there, Xu Rong seems to be waiting for him to come, Li Ru is under the sight of everyone, dragging his wide sleeves and going straight over, arching his hand: "The general rashly sent troops, but he can detect Hu Zhen's movements, and he is normal when there is news for friendly troops." ”

"How can I not know about this matter, I have already asked the scout to go to the horse to probe before......" Xu Rong was on the horseback, his face was gloomy and terrifying, obviously understanding that if there was a problem on the flank, he would face an attack in two directions next, even if he had great ability, he would not be able to stop the Xiliang army from pushing over. There was silence for a while, and he almost roared: "Ben Jiang hasn't left yet, he's just waiting for the news to come back......"

"Hu Wencai thought that he had already surrendered to the enemy, and he was facing such a dangerous situation, so it was better to strike first and break one of the ways." Li Ru walked to the opponent's horse and raised his finger: "First cut a burst to break out, let the Xiliang army attack Chang'an, the general can wander outside, looking for an opportunity to disturb the opponent's baggage, there is Wen Hou in the city, it will be safe, and when the time comes, when the thief army is sleepy and the horses are lacking, the internal and external attacks can be broken." ”

Xu Rong took the reins, looked at him for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Now it's all right." Then, he turned around and gave an order: "Order, the front army immediately set off to the north, the horses pick up the bells, wrap the hooves, and kill for a while." ”

With his order, the herald galloped up, and on the originally silent school field, more than 10,000 foot soldiers rushed out of the gate.

The night sky is north, the soldiers and horses are marching in the dark, Hu Zhen from time to time to send orders to let the foot soldiers in the rear speed up, he is a native of Liangzhou who surrendered to Wang Yun at the beginning, but it was also too late to respond to the incident, and now the army has come back to avenge Dong Taishi, naturally he has to make a contribution, and the selfishness in it may be heavier.

There was a sudden change in the team in front of him, Hu Zhen glanced at it, and looked back left and right: "What's going on......"

A ringing arrow shot into the sky.

"Enemy attack—" A voice shouted abruptly ahead.

Before he could figure out the situation, a second arrow exploded in the sky, and the roar of the sea swept over, startling him, and he hurriedly tried to organize the dragon-like team to defend it.

However, the iron cavalry rushed straight over, cut the soldiers and horses of this branch into three sections, and in the fighting, Hu Zhen led people to resist for a while, but the rout was already complete, and the head and tail could not care about each other, so they had to break through with hundreds of horsemen and throw themselves to the east.

Half an hour after the engagement, the remaining more than 10,000 people of this chaotic army surrendered, Xu Rong rode on horseback, his eyes swept over them, there was no expression on his black and thin long bearded face, and soon after Le Ma stood still, the scholars in the rear also rode over: "So many prisoners, it is also a burden for the general to carry on his body, it is better to ......" He lowered his voice, "...... Killed all. ”

"It's too late." Xu Rong rode his horse and took a few steps, "Guo Yan and Li Wei will definitely step up when they receive the defeat of Hu Zhen's army, and if they waste time, they will inevitably catch up and ......take them away."

After a pause, he pointed to the north: "Go to Zuo Fengyi first to rest for the night, and then go back to Chang'an." ”

On this night, the army carried the captives and spread out into the darkness. On the other side, Guo Li and the rest of the Xiliang generals who received the news accelerated their march, and they did not pay attention to the fleeing team because of Hu Zhen's defeat, but were reminded by Jia Xu and rushed straight in the direction of Chang'an.

Subsequently, their first battle was to meet Lu Bu.

Twenty miles east of Weiqiao, it was the second half of the night at this time, in the blue sky, the torches spread out like the sea, the mighty soldiers spread from the east in a straight line for several miles, and then collided with the reef here, stirring up a surging shout, the eight hundred army arrays named the trap were like a constricted hedgehog standing in the sea of people, the spears were stained with blood and hung on people's organs, and the Xiliang soldiers who were swaying with their abdomen fell in a pool of blood, and in the surrounding fronts, people's footsteps splashed with blood on the ground, and the blades in their hands continued to fight with the oncoming weapons, There is a twisted sound of metal colliding.

On the battlefield where the canine teeth are intertwined, the arrows that ignite the flames continue to fly over the heads of people, and the Xiliang Iron Horse rushes straight from the side, and the wolf rider runs parallel to it, and then crashes into it, the horse's hooves fly and fall, and the figure pounces in the sky, falls and falls to death, or is trampled by countless galloping horses' hooves, turning into meat puree.

A fiery red war horse passed through several Xiliang iron horsemen, and the colorful battle robes were lightly raised, and the two spear-wielding generals spurted blood from their chests and necks and fell off their horses. Fang Tian's halberd was dripping with blood, Lu Bu was wearing a beast's head swallowing gold armor, riding a red rabbit like a god of war standing in the middle of the battlefield, and the surrounding guards and horses were constantly resisting the Xiliang soldiers who were rushing over.

This time, the state army is only 20,000 people, but what he has to face is a whole number of enemies, Lu Bu has never been afraid to kill the Central Plains across the grassland, the other party pounced, and he did not hesitate to kill the past, not only to prove his bravery, but he came all the way, first killed Ding Yuan, and then killed Dong Zhuo, and gave people a son, and now finally under the old man's advice, he understood what he wanted to do.

Now that he is on the emperor's side, no one in the world should scold him for aiding and abusing......

The sound of chaotic fighting surrounded the surroundings, and a cavalry rushed away from afar to disperse the Xiliang soldiers, and when they reached this side, the cavalry general with a hook and sickle came over and wiped the blood on his face: "Fengxian, the more the Xiliang army kills, the more we can't afford it, it's time to withdraw the troops and return to Chang'an to defend it." ”

"Blocking for a while, you can't let them attack the city with high morale......" Lu Bu turned his head and looked away from Zhang Liao, "If you can't even stop them......"

Over there, Zhang Liao rode up to him and shouted, "Lu Fengxian! Brothers' lives are also fate, we came from Bingzhou, there are 30,000 people, now look at how many there are!! Do you want to fold all the brethren here, and what can you prove? At that time, you were alone, what can you do alone? ”

Here, Lu Bu was silent for a while, swept over the soldiers who were fighting around him, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay!" Let's go back to the city first! Order everyone to retreat backwards, and not to panic—"

The order to retreat began to be transmitted, the intertwined figures began to separate, retreating backwards like a tide, Lu Bu took a cavalry of about 2,000 people from the side, and defeated the Xiliang cavalry who were trying to pursue, and the retreating generals in front were also constantly shrinking the chaotic soldiers, rectifying the formation while retreating, so as not to turn the withdrawal into a real rout, so they entangled all the way, and fought towards the east gate of Chang'an while walking.

"The two generals, Guo and Li, can charge at this time...... Able to take down the city gates. Countless people rushed to the rear, and Jia Xu rode on the back of a docile horse to speak.

The Western Liang Army sounded the desolate trumpet.

Countless figures rushed wildly, and more Xiliang Iron Cavalry also rushed straight away from the left and right flanks of the rear at this time, and the entangled battle suddenly turned into a raging offensive and ran over.

Qing Ming lit up, countless panicked footsteps into the lowered drawbridge, the open city gate, the city guards kept shouting downward, let the rout enter the city quickly, in the distance of his vision, in the faintly lit skylight, the black clouds pressed over.

"Close the gates—" He drew his sword and slashed at the battlements, shouting loudly, the sound of horses' hooves darting over, and then a dense barrage of arrows flew into the sky and covered the city.

Puff puff puff –

The knife fell to the ground with a thud, and the figure fell backwards. At the head of the city, the archers shot arrows at the Xiliang cavalry that came like a tide below, even though there were constantly figures falling from the horses, but they could not drive them away, slightly retracted the drawbridge, the horse's hooves stepped on it violently, and the slowly rising iron chain fell sharply, and it was no longer able to move.

Countless horses' hooves galloped across the drawbridge with a roar, poured into the city gates, and rushed in at the crowded city gates.

Lu Bu galloped down the street and pulled Zhang Liao: "You go and take my wife and daughter away from the north gate...... and Cai Shizhong's daughter. ”

The other side nodded and led some cavalry to leave in a hurry, Lu Bu glanced at the rear, the east gate was already in chaos, and it was only a matter of a moment for the 100,000 Xiliang troops to enter the city, and the city was irreversible.

"Let......'s go," he snorted, pulled the reins violently, and led the rest of the people towards the inner city, where the defense was still there, and the soldiers could not reach here for the time being, but in the absence of reinforcements, the inner city was just a turtle in the urn. When he arrived at the Qingsuo Gate, Lu Bu already saw a figure standing on the head of the city.

"The thieves have entered the city, and the resistance is unfavorable, please break through and leave with me."

On the tower of the city, the old man was surrounded by countless servants and guards of the family standing with swords in hand, his eyes were cloudy, and he shook his head: "Wen Hou go by himself, the old man is a country, how can he abandon His Majesty and flee when it is time of life and death, it is not the work of loyal ministers." ”

Lu Bu turned the horse's head anxiously, the boiling fighting sound behind him was getting closer and closer, and he gritted his teeth. He turned around, "Let's go—"

Looking at the soldiers and horses leaving below, Wang Yun closed the door and sighed, and waved his hand to the servant courtyard behind him: "You guys...... Let's go, the city has been broken, the thieves have entered the city, and it will be in vain to let you and others die, so let's go. ”

The servants and guards behind the old man were not willing to come up to defend the city and die, but when they heard the amnesty, they hurriedly fled and ran down the city tower, leaving a few people around them.

"You ...... Or not...... If you want to stay with the old man, just stay......" Wang Yun looked at the few people behind him, and the old man smiled on his face.

However, at this moment, one of the servants walked out abruptly with his head bowed, and before the rest could react, the other man had already pounced, pulling out a dagger from his cuff.

"You ......"

The old man's crown and hat fell, looked at the man, opened his mouth slightly to make a sound, and the figure over there waved the blade and wiped it across his neck, and his hand grabbed the old man's hair bun, pulled it outward, and lifted the head in his hand.

Han Long glanced at the palace servants who wanted to step forward but hesitated, and turned around and strode away with their white heads.

Fleeing from the city gate in panic, Lu Bu looked back at the imperial city, where the fire burned from the east, and the army disaster spread.

The imperial power is over.

"We're looking for a place to stay...... Let's go to Yuan Shaona first. ”
