Chapter 38: The Fall of Macheng
"Childe, when has this been, and you can still take care of these!?" After Liu Mao got off the city wall, he did not leave the city immediately, but returned to the county government with the guards and some of Sun De's personal guards, not only picked up his wife, but also asked people to carry all the bamboo notes he brought to the car.
Watching the stack of bamboo notes move out of the mansion, Sun De was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.
"These are all gifts from the elders, and they should not be left in Hu'er!" Liu Mao ignored it.
"Kill~"
The shouting and killing in the distance suddenly became louder, Sun De turned around, and was stunned to find that many soldiers were running this way with their armor thrown away, and couldn't help but be shocked, grabbed a passing soldier, and shouted: "What's the matter? Why don't you guard the walls? ”
The soldier was running for his life at the moment, how could he care about any general, he broke away from Sun De's arm, and scolded as he walked: "The city is broken, if you don't run now, when will you wait?" ”
Rumble~
Sun De only felt a roar in his head, he never dreamed that the city would be breached so quickly, in his mind, even if there were many people on the other side, but they had a city wall on their side, even if they were defeated, at least they could hold out for a while, allowing them to escape calmly.
It's just that he forgot, these soldiers were brought out by him, although the Luoyang soldiers and horses are known as the elite, but they have not been in the battle formation for a long time, they are not as elite as the border army, plus he has not trained soldiers for a long time since he came to Macheng, these Yulin troops under his leadership have already become a soldier one by one, only know how to eat and take cards, where is there still the ability to kill the enemy, as soon as they see that the main general is not there, they are naturally unwilling to continue to fight, so that the gate of Macheng was completely broken shortly after they left.
"Boom~"
Before Sun De could think too much, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, accompanied by the roar of the Xianbei people, and the chaotic roars and angry scolding of the people in the city, came towards this side.
"Childe, don't worry about this, let's go!" Sun De hurriedly ran to Liu Mao's side and said loudly.
"No, these are the books of the sages!" Liu Mao said angrily.
"If you don't go, I'll go!" Seeing this, Sun De's face turned ruthless, and he no longer paid attention to Liu Mao, turned over and got on the horse, beat the horse and galloped, although Liu Mao is related to the career, but now his life is about to be gone, who can care about this, people are alive, they have a chance to turn over, at this moment Sun De is already thinking about who to throw this pot to.
The people of Macheng never dreamed that the city gate would be breached so quickly, with the entry of the Xianbei people, the whole Macheng was blown up, people rushed for their lives, wolves rushed to the pigs, vendors dumped, inns and restaurants were in disarray, and property was scattered all over the place and no one cared about it.
"Husband, let's go too!" Seeing that the things were almost cleaned up, Liu Mao's wife persuaded.
"Hmm." Liu Mao turned over on his horse in distraught, Sun De's escape made him quite annoyed, but he also realized the seriousness of the problem, sat on the horse's back, and was about to say something, when a strange shouting suddenly came from a distance.
After making sure that there was no ambush, Helian took his guards all the way to the direction of the county government, the heavy horse's hooves knocked on the hard ground, this city that Ye Zhao spent two years to build, trembling under the hooves of the eight thousand Xianbei iron horsemen, along the way there were panicked people running to the middle of the road like headless flies, and they were immediately hit by the speeding Xianbei iron horses without hesitation, followed by countless horses' hooves, and were trampled into meat in an instant.
From a distance, He Lian saw Liu Mao's frame, and the more than a dozen frames full of goods made He Lian's eyes light up, and he pointed with a whip in his hand and said: "Stop those people, don't let them run!" ”
Protect Childe!
More than a dozen guards guarding Liu Mao's side quickly formed a simple formation to protect Liu Mao's side, although they only had a dozen people, and the enemy had hundreds of people, but they had no way to retreat, as Liu Yan personally selected the guards for Liu Mao, they enjoyed the treatment that ordinary soldiers could not enjoy, but they also tied their net worth and life to Liu Mao, once Liu Mao had any accidents, Liu Yan would not let them go, and the law of the Han Dynasty could not let them go.
Left and right are death, fighting and dying, at least to protect the family from being implicated.
"Humph!" Looking at these guards who looked at death as if they were home, He Lian sneered, waved his big hand, and hundreds of personal iron horsemen behind him had already rushed out, with the power of crushing everything, and launched a charge against these guards on this not spacious street.
"Kill~" Looking at the menacing Xianbei Iron Horse, a guard rushed forward without fear of death, directly using his body as a weapon, and slammed into the hooves of the war horse.
"Click~"
In the tooth-aching sound of bones shattering, the guard's bones were shattered, and his body was also knocked into the air, but his sacrifice also succeeded in breaking the legs of the two war horses, and the fall of the two war horses suddenly made the Xianbei people's charge stagnant.
"Up!"
The rest of the guards looked cold and brandished their waist knives to kill, without the advantage of charging, although there were only a dozen people, but both equipment and tactics were very brave, these guards were all killed from the battlefield, one by one fierce, and in an instant, more than a dozen Xianbei soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
But that's all, the Xianbei knights who followed slashed down with their swords, and a dozen or so guards quickly disappeared into the surging cavalry formation.
Liu Mao looked at this scene with a pale face, pulled out the saber at his waist, and looked at the Xianbei people who surrounded his group, but the hand holding the sword trembled a little.
He Lian came down to the frame with the guards who were with him, turned his head to look at the dozen or so guards who were lying in a pool of blood, and shook his head: "If the Han people defending the city are like them, it will not be easy to capture this city. ”
Macheng was built by Ye Zhao for two years of painstaking construction, whether it was the city wall or the layout of the city, it was established according to the worst plan, how to deal with the enemy once the city was broken, but unfortunately, Sun De had no intention of fighting at all, and the defense system that Ye Zhao painstakingly arranged did not play its due role at all, and it was completely defeated, otherwise, not to mention the eight thousand Xianbei cavalry, even if he Lian transferred all the 30,000 elites of the royal court, only the army of Macheng was enough to support the arrival of reinforcements.
Turning over and jumping off the horse, he Lian came to a carriage, thinking that it was some kind of gold and silver treasure, so that these Han people would take it at the cost of death, but when he saw the cart full of bamboo paper, he was immediately disappointed.
"What's that?" It flew up with a sudden kick and kicked a frame like a vent.
"I am a member of the Han family." Liu Mao took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and said loudly.
He Lian turned his head, looked at Liu Mao, pursed his lips disdainfully, looked over Liu Mao, and when he saw Liu Mao's wife, his eyes couldn't help but light up, pointing at Liu Mao's wife and laughing: "This woman, I want it." ”
"Yes!" With a lewd smile on their faces, the two Xianbei warriors brutally broke into the crowd and pulled Liu Mao's wife out.
"What are you doing? Too much deception!? Seeing this, Liu Mao was furious, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he stabbed a sword into the chest of a Xianbei warrior.
"Poof~" Without waiting for Liu Mao to make another move, in the mournful roar of his wife, a shiny war knife sank into Liu Mao's chest.
"Uh~" Liu Mao looked at the blade stuck upside down in his chest in disbelief, raised his head, and glared at Helian.
"Wang, just now he said that he is a member of the Han family." A Xianbei man's face changed, and he hurriedly approached Helian's side and whispered.
"Han clan relatives? It's just a small county order, I heard that there were many royal families in the Han Dynasty, and I thought they would be put here, and they weren't important people, so there was no need to worry. He Lian laughed indifferently, pointed to the already sluggish lady and said, "Take her away, tonight, I will entertain my warriors." ”
"Yes!"
"Dog thief, you're not going to end well!!" In the mournful roar of the lady, the entire horse city fell into a wail, and Lian had already said before that when the city was broken, it could be looted for three days!
