Chapter 55: The Capture of the City

In the dark, Ma Yue led 800 Liukou to the south gate of Fuyang, only to see a few faintly burning torches inserted in the city, more than a dozen officers and soldiers in charge of the night vigil were pestled on the city tower like wooden stakes, looking at the dark void in front of them with blank eyes, and a patrol of more than ten people was slowly coming from a hundred steps away.

Compared with the silent south gate, the north of Fuyang City is full of fire, and the sound of killing is shocking.

Guan Hai Senran said: "Boqi, there is a sound of fighting in the north of the city. ”

Pei Yuanshao's spirits perked up, and he said excitedly: "Could it be that the Nanyang soldiers are fighting by themselves?" ”

Ma Yue's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on, Lao Pei blows the trumpet, and Lao Guan leads the Qingzhou battalion to prepare to seize the city gate!" The rest of the brothers, as soon as the city gate is opened, will follow me into the city, and as long as they see anyone wearing a red robe (Han army uniform, red robe and black armor), they will all be hacked to death! ”

Pei Yuanshao erected the horn horn more than one person high, put it in his mouth and played it vigorously, and in an instant, the loud horn sound resounded in the sky, first three short and urgent, and then a long and endless sound, because the wanderers who were already exhausted in the overnight rush heard the horn sound, and immediately cheered up, and their eyes began to become hot.

"Brothers of the Qingzhou camp, get on the horse!"

In the dark, Guan Hai shouted loudly and took the lead in turning over on his horse, and 100 old bandits who had followed Guan Hai since Qingzhou turned over on their horses, slowly raising the steel knife in their hands, and the strong killing intent had been revealed from their eyes, all like wild wolves that smelled blood.

Almost as soon as Pei Yuanshao's horn sounded, the officers and soldiers on the south gate tower noticed it, and when they were about to blow the trumpet to warn, they heard a loud bang at the root of the city wall, and even the city wall under their feet was trembling slightly, but the sound came from within the city wall! The officers and soldiers on the city tower were taken aback, turned to the inner side of the city wall, climbed the female wall and looked down, only to see that a large piece of adobe bricks at the foot of the city wall had collapsed, and in the chaotic dust, a group of forty or fifty strong men had rushed out with a single knife in their hands.

"Oh no, there are ambushes in the city walls!" On the tower, an officer yelled bitterly, "Protect the gates and the drawbridge, and don't let the thieves take the gates and the drawbridge." ”

The officer instinctively realized the danger, and hurriedly reminded the dozen or so soldiers under his command who were about to freeze, and at the same time asked for help from the patrol that drove in the distance.

However, it was all in vain.

If the attack comes from outside the city, although these dozen officers and soldiers cannot hold the city, it is enough to hold out until the reinforcements arrive, and the enemy army wants to cross the moat, and then set up a ladder to launch a large-scale attack on the city wall, it will take half an hour, but the defender's barracks are only a hundred steps away from the city gate, as long as the horn on the city tower sounds, it does not need a cup of tea, a large number of defenders can hear the news and arrive.

But if the attack came from within the city, it would not be the same at all.

Walls and moats, which are used to resist external attacks, can play a great role, but if they are used to resist internal attacks, they are better than nothing.

The ambush soldiers who suddenly came out of the city wall were the old bandits of Qingzhou led by Mao San and Niu Si. Long before Ma Yue led the main force of the Liukou to leave Fuyang, he forced more than 100 officers and military prisoners to secretly dig this hidden soldier hole at the root of the city wall of the South Gate, and then built this group of fierce Liukou into the city wall.

The more than 100 officers and soldiers were immediately executed by Ma Yue after completing their mission, so even Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao didn't know that Ma Yue had left such an ambush.

In order to find out what should be done in this group, Qin Jie and Zou Jing searched almost every inch of ground in the city, and even the kilns of every resident, but they didn't find anything! The two never thought that Ma Yue would dare to hide the ambush soldiers in the city wall, which really fulfills the old saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

The desperate defense of the officers and soldiers did not buy much time for the officers and soldiers defending the city, and in less than a moment, the heavy city gate had creaked open, and the suspended suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

"Kill!"

Guan Hai shouted, drew the long knife, and without waiting for the suspension bridge to land, he rode his horse and rushed up, taking the lead in entering the city. By the time the officers and soldiers in the garrison barracks reacted and rushed out of the barracks to kill the city gate in a chaotic manner, the 200 cavalry Qingzhou Liukou had already swept into an unstoppable iron stream, crushing over with a momentum that swept everything......

……

In the north of Fuyang City, when the three short and one long, extremely strange horn sounded, Zou Jing led 500 officers and soldiers just out of the city for 3 miles, and the tired Yellow Turban thieves had become the end of the crossbow, and the speed of escape could not reach the speed of the official army's pursuit, Zou Jing believed that it would only take half an hour for him to kill all the thieves and sweep away the evil breath in his chest.

But at this time, the horn at the other end of Fuyang City suddenly rose!

Zou Jing's heart jumped, and a dark cloud suddenly rose, especially when the horn of the official army sounded immediately, Zou Jing was even more surprised! The horns of the officers and soldiers became more and more urgent, and Zou Jing became more and more frightened, and he could no longer care about chasing and killing the thieves who had fled in all directions, and shouted loudly on horseback: "Stop the pursuit, and the whole army will return to the city!" ”

……

Zhou Cang was already seriously injured and did not heal, and now he has added a few arrow wounds, and one thigh has been shot through a pair, and his strength has been greatly reduced under the repeated heavy blows, which will be beaten by three officers and soldiers, and he is in danger, thinking of the pathos, Zhou Cang can't help but look up to the sky and roar, it is really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, in other words, these three soldiers are not enough for him to cut with a knife, but now, he may be cut off by them at any time.

Zhou Cang was inexplicably sad, and was about to fight to kill these three hateful soldiers in a different place, but when he heard an order from the commander of the official army, the officers and soldiers who were like wolves immediately retreated like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, they had already opened a distance of dozens of steps from the Yellow Turban thieves who were desperately fleeing.

"Uh, this ......"

Zhou Cang slashed the air with a knife, couldn't help but almost fell into the snow, barely stood up and looked at the retreating officers and soldiers fixedly, doubting in a dream for a while, could it be that the conscience of the officers and soldiers found out? No, when the officers and soldiers meet the Yellow Turbans, they have always been killed and killed, and there is absolutely no room for them.

After listening attentively, Zhou Cang's eyes immediately lit up, and he only heard a faint sound of killing coming from the other side of Fuyang City. Who's going to be besieging the city? Could it be ...... Is it the eight hundred rogues of the leader of Ma Yue who have come back? Yes, it must be!

Thinking of this, Zhou Cang couldn't help but perk up, and shouted: "Brothers, don't run away, the leader of Ma Yue has come back with eight hundred rogue robbers!" Don't run away, chase the ass of the official army and kill into the city, kill~~"

……

Fuyang County Ya, back hall.

Qin Jie suddenly woke up from the nightmare, the raging fire in the fire plate could not warm his cold heart, Qin Jie felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, almost frozen, took a deep breath of hot air, Qin Jie roared in a hoarse voice: "Come on, come on, come on......"

A junior officer hurriedly ran in and respectfully asked, "What do you command?" ”

Qin Jie asked, "Where is the horn sound outside?" ”

The little official smiled: "Don't panic, Lord Zou is leading the army to chase and kill the remnants of the thieves outside the north gate." ”

"Whew, that's how it happened."

Qin Jie let out a long sigh of relief, his mind was calm, and he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and quickly from far to near, and then the door was pushed open heavily, and Wen Ping had already strode in, his young and handsome face was full of panic.

"Brother-in-law is not good! Eight hundred Liukou have already seized the south gate and are here to kill the county government! ”

"What!" Qin Jie's seriously ill body was so shocked that he stood up and lost his voice, "Eight hundred Liukou!?" ”

"Yes, brother-in-law, it's eight hundred rogues! I saw the flag. ”

Qin Jieyuan opened his eyes and asked sharply, "How did the eight hundred Liukou come to Fuyang!" And how did you take the South Gate? How is this possible, how is it possible, how is it possible!? ”

Qin Jie asked the three in a row how it was possible, which showed how surprised he was in his heart.

Wen Ping said: "Ma Yue has ambushed soldiers in the city wall!" The horn together, the ambush soldiers were exhausted, and the officers and soldiers defending the city were outnumbered, and when the officers and soldiers of the brigade came out of the barracks, the eight hundred Liukou had already captured the south gate and entered the city! ”

"Is there an ambush? There are really ambushes! The ambush is hidden in the city walls! What a leap, what a leap! Coo-coo...... Qin Jie's expression was strange, and a strange sound suddenly sounded under his throat, and then his face turned red, and he spewed out a blood mist from the sky, shouting, "I'm angry too!" ”
