Chapter 67: The Door of Death

At night, the officers and soldiers, as always, beat the earth-shattering snare drums outside the three gates of the east, west and north. Only this time the only difference was that there was a flash of light in the dark crowd, and I don't know if the light of the armor or the light reflected by the sword and gun.

The surging water roared like a giant beast under the night sky. The flocks of crows under the city were not afraid of the drums not far away, and only used the light of the fire at the city to gnaw at the corpses of the city to fill the empty belly. The yellow scarves on the city were tortured and lost the spirit of defending the city, and they were curled up on the city like dead corpses. The little boss who was in charge of supervising everyone didn't know whether to be happy under the crotch of the little girl, or where to go, and he didn't even come to guard tonight.

In Xihua Castle under the night sky, groups of figures like ants looked from afar in the sky, heading towards the south gate from different directions.

Li Biao, who had been looking at the south gate for a long time, was anxiously waiting for news, a message from outside the city. When it was getting dark, he sent out several teams of men to see if the outside of the city was as empty as it had been yesterday. It's just that the minions in charge of the investigation didn't wait, but they waited for Sun Zi and Zhang Sheng, who arrived with a large team.

"Yo, what is Leader Sun going to do, why didn't he guard at the west gate and bring so many people here? I'm afraid that this has more than half of Simon's troops, is it possible that he is going to attack the official army? As soon as Zhang Sheng came to the south gate, he saw Sun Zi coming from the west, and said in a strange manner.

I didn't expect that Sun Zi was going to break through from this south gate as I thought, and this old boy didn't ventilate in advance, which was really not interesting.

Sun Zi, who originally planned to sneak away from the south gate with a few people, was really discouraged by the officials and troops during the day, so he just left some old, weak, sick and disabled people to guard the city, and took the rest of the people to break through from the south gate. It's just that I didn't expect to meet Zhang Sheng, a kid just after arriving at the south gate.

"Yo, what is Brother Zhang going to do? If you go out hunting, you don't have to take most of the people and horses from the East Gate with you, right? Sun Zi naturally saw that Zhang Sheng was also planning to break through from the south gate like him, but he was sarcastic, and it was inevitable that he would be unhappy.

"Alright, the two leaders should not argue. If I, Li Biao, are not mistaken, I'm afraid the two of you are going to break through, right? I saw Li Biao coming down from the city, talking as he walked.

"Since Leader Li said it so happily, I won't hide it. Yes, this Xihua City can't be defended, and I plan to lead the brothers to break through tonight, but I don't know if Li Toutou is willing to give face and open this south gate to us. Although Zhang Sheng said it implicitly, the action of wiping the spear in his hand was not subtle at all.

"Hmph, if someone wants to be buried with that Peng and cut off my Sun Zi's life today, then this long knife in my hand will definitely not agree." Sun Zi saw that the two of them were straightforward, so he blew the blade in his hand and said murderously.

Looking at the murderous appearance of the two in front of him, Li Biao smiled bitterly: "Hehe, don't misunderstand, two of you." In fact, I'm the same as the two of you, planning to break through tonight, since everyone is thinking about this, let's run together, and the fool will be buried with that Peng. ”

"Hehe, this is naturally the best, everyone is also a companion together, then ask Leader Sun to open the door." Zhang Sheng put down the spear in his hand and said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, you two, I just sent my relatives out to investigate, if the outside of the city is as empty tonight as yesterday, we won't be too late to leave." Li Biao said.

"It's still Leader Li's heart, so let's wait here for a while." Sun Zi also put down the long knife in his hand and smiled at Li Biao.

A few days later, when Peng Tuo returned to the county magistrate's mansion where he lived after his inspection of the four gates, he ordered his men to make a fire and cook, and told them the plan to break out at night, and told them to pack up and flee with their belongings. As soon as it was dark, they rushed to the south of the city, but when they arrived in the south of the city, they found that a large number of yellow scarves had gathered in front of the city gate at this time. If it weren't for Bu Xiao to stop him, he would have called everyone to fight with them.

"Dashuai, now it seems that they are also going to break through. Wouldn't it be nice to have them in front of us and us to follow behind? At this time, if you go out to fight them, you will indeed be relieved, but it will be difficult to escape. Bu Zhong persuaded.

"Yes, I almost did another stupid thing, so spare their dog's life and let them clear the way for us." Peng Tuo nodded and said.

"Handsome and wise." Bu Zhong shouted wisely, but he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, this idiot didn't know how he got into this handsome position. Alas, in order to survive, it is better to stabilize him first, otherwise it will be difficult to say who will live and who will die in the fight.

Although Wu De at the north gate was the farthest away from the south gate, Wu De, who had been prepared for a long time, also rushed to the south gate. Now looking at the waves of people in front of him, Wu De's heart couldn't help but sink. This is the end of the day, and if they all run away, they will leave some old, weak, sick and disabled people and I don't know how many days they can keep. Alas, when you get out of the city gate, you will run all the way to the south, how far can you throw out diversity.

A short time ago, the minions, who had gone a mile away to investigate, came back and reported that there was no one outside the city, and the people were overjoyed when they heard this.

After a while, the minions who had gone two miles away to investigate came back and reported that there was no one outside the city, and the crowd cheered; Someone suggested leaving now, but Zhang Sheng dissuaded him, so he waited a little longer.

After a while, the minions who had gone to investigate three miles away came back to report that there was really no one outside the city, and now everyone could no longer bear it, and before the minions who had gone to explore five miles came back to report the news, they rushed towards the south gate like a flood that had opened the floodgates.

Peng Tuo saw everyone rushing out of the city, and his heart was excited. Finally, I don't have to wait here to die, damn it is dead everywhere, and the stench of the city is all over the city. Brothers, go, rush out with me and it's safe," Peng Tuo whispered as he rode on his warhorse.

Seeing that everyone rushed out of the city, Wu De also beckoned his men to rush out of the city; Before leaving, he did not forget to order the people of Xihua, who had been enslaved for many days, to close the city gate to death, so as to confuse the officials and soldiers.

Now seeing the remnants of the Yellow Turbans fleeing out of the city, they are afraid that they will change their attention and kill them back. So it was rare to listen to Wu De's order willingly for a while, and sealed the south gate to death.

Sun Zi rode out of the south gate and led his brothers to gallop all the way, and from time to time he fantasized about the happy days of his wife and concubine after he bought fertile land in Jingzhou.

Zhang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief after leading his brother out of the south gate, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart; Finally came out of this eerie and terrifying ghost, and from then on, the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish could jump.

After Li Biao left the city, he felt faintly uneasy, this is all gone, the south gate is wide open, and tomorrow the officers and soldiers will definitely give up their lives to chase after this situation. I'd better take my brothers to run farther away, and finally be able to run to the deep mountains and old forests at once, so that it will be safe.

Peng Tuo looked at the yellow scarves running wildly in front of him, and couldn't help but curse in his heart. Damn, when defending the city, one by one was afraid to move forward, and now they are running faster than the other when they run for their lives.

Wu De saw that there was only the sound of everyone running in front of him, and there was no sound of fighting, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seemed that he would be able to escape today, so he ordered everyone to run wildly, and he surpassed Peng Tuo and the others in a short time.

Peng Tuo saw that Wu De, who was catching up behind him, ran faster than them, and he was willing to lag behind, so he urged everyone to rush forward.

A group of yellow scarves rushed forward one after another, and no one wanted to be left behind.

One mile, two miles, three miles, there are no officials and soldiers, and the more people run, the happier they become, the more energetic they run, and the faster they run, which is really contrary to common sense.

Zhu Junbu, who had been waiting for a long time five miles outside the south gate, listened to the sound of running in the distance, and all of them rubbed their hands together, holding high the spear and knife in their hands.

"Chu Fei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhao Zhong, and Xu Xuan are the front army, scattered in a half-moon shape, and the rest of the people follow with this, and when the yellow turban is five hundred meters away, light up the fire and kill the whole army." Zhu Jun shouted.

"Obey the general's orders." The crowd responded.

The Yellow Turbans who rushed out of the city for more than three miles suddenly heard the shouting sound from the front, and they couldn't help but be shocked. It's just that the person behind him is still rushing forward, and he really can't stop, so he has to rush forward with his scalp. For whoever stops is either killed by the hooves of the horses behind him, or trampled to death by the multitude.

Suddenly, there was a fire in front of him, and the sound of killing was everywhere.

"Kill, all charge." Zhu Junyang shouted with the long knife in his hand.

"Rush." Countless shouts of killing rang out.

"Brothers, rush with me, kill all these brutes who have lost their conscience, kill." Chu Fei took the lead in rushing towards the yellow scarf in front of him with a tiger head and a dragon halberd.

"Brothers, rush and kill all the Yellow Turban thieves." Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhao Zhong, Xu Xuan and other generals also shouted and rushed forward.

At this time, the Yellow Turban knew that he had been ambushed by the Yellow Turban, and there was no turning back for those who rushed to the front, but they could only resist desperately, and the Yellow Turban in the rear fled to the city in shock.

Peng Tuo, Wu De, Li Biao, Zhang Sheng, Sun Zi and other yellow turban leaders couldn't help but shout: "I thought this was the door of life, but I didn't expect that it was the door of death for us." ”
