Chapter 6: The Destruction of the City

Outside the city of Jiuyuan, the sound of horses' hooves was broken, the sun was slanting in the distance, and it was dim, and the cold north wind was like a wild wolf roaming the wasteland, making a terrifying scream.

Tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers poured up to the city tower like a whirlwind, and the crazy shouts were like the souls of the dead, chasing the retreating Han army and the people all the way to slash and kill.

The sky was even hazier, the wind was beginning to sweep through the gravel, and in the town at the junction of the clouds and the five plains, mediocre deaths and frenzied killings were going on at the same time.

At the east gate of Jiuyuan City, a strong man in a tiger fur ran up to the roof, bent his bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, and shot at a Qiang general who was slaughtering frantically without hesitation.

There was a muffled sound of "poof", and the powerful arrow pierced the throat of the Qiang general, and the strong man's eyes were sharp, and he quickly took a bow and arrow, and singled out the Qiang general.

"Gao Shun Wei Xu, you go to protect Lu Sima's relatives, I'll deal with it here!"

The strong man hangs the quiver on his waist, carries a strong bow in his hand, runs back and forth on the roof, moves left and right, although temporarily suppresses the momentum of the enemy, but the Qiang army seems to be surging in the river, endless, and the carved feather in the quiver has long been stretched.

"Brother Cao, Jiuyuan City is in danger, but there is an accident, make peace with me quickly!" After hearing this, a strong man with a thick face did not shirk, and said with a fist to the strong man on the roof.

"Got it!"

The strong man grinned in reply, and at the same time bent his bow and shot arrows, all in one go, the arrows off the string were as fast as lightning, and the forehead and head of a Qiang general were half removed.

Half an hour's effort, the strong man shot more than 120 arrows in a row, the arrows were not missing, the dead were either Qiang generals, or fierce Qiang soldiers, all of them were blocked by his arrow, and his body died.

The Qiang generals saw that the strong man's archery was superb, and they did not dare to show their heads, and the generals who did not have a command, and the Qiang army did not dare to step forward, so they took bows and arrows and shot at the strong men on the roof.

The strong man snorted coldly, immediately drew out the ring head knife, and ran along the roof towards East Street, and those shrunken Qiang generals saw this, hurriedly rushed out of the crowd, and ordered the army to pursue along the road.

"Brother Cao, we're here!" The strong man was running in a hurry, and suddenly he heard the shouts of people, and immediately jumped off the roof and ran into a house.

The previous swarthy man hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How?" ”

"It's okay......" The strong man wiped the blood from his face and asked, "How is it over here?" ”

The swarthy man frowned, and said heavily: "You stop the enemy here first, and I'll arrange it!" ”

The strong man grabbed the arm of the swarthy man and asked solemnly, "Brother Gao Shun, is there any hope of surviving this battle?" ”

Gao Shun didn't answer, but the determination in his eyes had already told him the answer.

The strong man didn't ask more, but led dozens of rangers in the courtyard to ambush in the gate, ready to give a fatal blow to the Qiang soldiers who entered the Kou, Gao Shun took a deep look at the strong man, turned around and ran out of the back door.

Outside the house, a group of Qiang soldiers saw the high walls and deep courtyard of this house, and expected that the owner of this house was either rich or noble, so they let out a series of excited cries and broke into the door with random knives.

"Yanmen Cao Xing is here, Hu Lu is dead!"

Cao Xing saw that one hundred and eighty Qiang soldiers had poured into the house, struggled to close the door, and then swung his knife at the Qiang soldiers who were approaching, which was a horn and a symbol, and all of a sudden, all the rangers rushed forward.

But seeing the cold light flickering frequently, and the heads rolling to the ground, Cao Xing, who was called 'my athlete' by Lu Bu, was naturally good at martial arts, and saw him swishing and slashing a few times, and the cold light was everywhere, cutting down several people.

"Kill this Han general first." Seeing Cao Xing's superior martial arts, the leading Qiang general immediately ordered the Qiang soldiers to take the lead in besieging Cao Xing.

After receiving the general order, Cao Xing instantly became the focus of the Qiang soldiers, and dozens of Qiang soldiers rushed up, slashing with the big knives in their hands and squeezing their spears, and suddenly this not very wide passage was full of swords and swords.

Cao Xing roared angrily, and a steel knife danced through the wind and rain, fighting hard in the siege of the Qiang soldiers, and each time the knife fell, it would cut off a horse lance, or shock a scimitar.

At the same time of the impenetrable defense, he also seized the opportunity from time to time to cut down individual Qiang soldiers, and the surrounding companions saw this, and they raised their knives to help, and the Qiang soldiers retreated for a while.

After a few minutes of desperate fighting, the courtyard was already full of corpses, and the gate of the courtyard was also broken by dense Qiang soldiers.

Suddenly, the Qiang soldiers poured in like a flood, Cao Xing and dozens of rangers desperately resisted, and the two sides began to start a melee in the courtyard, mercilessly, and wanted to put their opponents to death.

Forest-like spears and spears, snowflake-like dazzling swords slashing, shouting and killing the heavens and the earth, storms, flesh and blood, corpses everywhere, desperate screams everywhere.

The number of rangers is getting smaller and smaller, but the Qiang soldiers are increasing, but they are all long-tested rangers who are brave, and when they see that there is no hope of survival, they rush towards the enemy like trapped beasts.

"Brother Cao, let's go!" A bloodied ranger grabbed Cao Xing's arm and pulled it hard against the back door, and in front of them there were ten rangers lined up in a wall with their bodies, blocking the dense horse lance scimitar with their flesh and blood.

"I, Cao Xing, am not greedy for life and afraid of death!" Cao Xing gritted his teeth, his clothes and armor were untidy, his body was drenched in blood, and his eyes were blood-red when he saw his former companions generously dying, like an angry lion.

"In order to cover you, the brothers did not hesitate to resist the sword soldiers with their flesh and blood, don't you understand, do you want them to die in vain?" The ranger punched Cao Xuan in the face, and roared angrily.

At this moment, several cold lights flashed, and the Qiang soldiers broke through the human wall, and the scimitars slashed at Cao Xing.

Seeing this, the ranger hurriedly blocked in front of Cao Xing, and five scimitars slashed at his back in unison, and blood splattered all over the ground like mercury.

The ranger struggled to fall back, overwhelming the Qiang soldiers who surged up behind him, he looked at Cao Xing, who was not moving at all, and said angrily: "Sex Gong, don't you go yet?" ”

Cao Xuan pursed his lips, tears flowed down his resolute cheeks, raised his knife and slashed the Qiang soldiers in front of him, turned around and left.

"Avenge us!" A smile appeared on the corner of the ranger's mouth, and more than a dozen scimitars fell on his head.

Cao Xing fought out of the courtyard through the back door, and at this time, East Street was full of killing and death, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

Hordes of Qiang soldiers slaughtered indiscriminately, and in their eyes, there were no women and children, no soldiers and no civilians, only endless wealth.

Outside Jiuyuan City, Yadan and Cheriji sat on the ground, their front was full of wine, flesh and fruits, in the face of these four wild killings, they drank wine and ate meat, talked and laughed, and were not affected in the slightest.

Cherrigi cut off a piece of mutton, put it in his hand and was amazed: "Although the mutton is good, it's a pity that it's too little, not enough to divide ......."

Yadan saw that he meant something, so he smiled and said: "The materials of the three cities are enough for our clan for several years, and these five original counties will be left to Tan Tuo!" ”

At first, Che Li Ji made a plan, and asked Lu Shuihu to conspire with Wuyuan, saying that after the matter was completed, he shared the income with Tan Tuo, and Dongqiang raised 50,000 troops in this battle, feinting to attack Heshuo, and Lu Shuihu sent 30,000 troops to feint to attack Yinshan.

Yinshan is the barrier of Jiuyuan City, if Yinshan is lost, Jiuyuan City is in danger, so Zhang Yi must send troops.

Sure enough, as Cherry Ji expected, when he learned that Lu Shuihu was attacking Yinshan, Zhang Yi didn't think about it, and directly led the army to support, and was surrounded by Tan Tuo when he passed through Manyi Valley.

And Yadan, who feinted to attack Heshuo, took the opportunity to reverse the sword soldiers, detoured to Hexi, and attacked Xi'anyang, Chengyi, and Jiuyuan, and the three cities fell, and the livestock obtained were countless, and there were thousands of hardcover slaves.

Cheriji looked in the direction of Yinshan and sneered: "It's best to let them lose both in this battle, and then take the opportunity to annex Lu Shuihu, I have heard that the Ergun River can feed 50,000 warriors, such a fertile land, only the virtuous live!" ”

Yadan nodded undeniably, and when he was thinking about how to annex Lu Shuihu in his heart, a dazzling cold light suddenly flashed on the plain, followed by a flicker, and the forest light that rose and fell reflected the wilderness like a white whirlpool.

Yadan was familiar with this light, the light reflected by the sword from the sun, and according to this intensity, the number was at least five thousand or more.
