Chapter Forty-Eight: Looting Grain

In the dead of night, the battle between Ma Chao and Gao Shun was still in full swing, but a group of about 2,000 people quietly appeared outside Yixian. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the dark night, only a pair of eyes is difficult to flicker in the dark night, sitting on horseback, exuding a dangerous aura like a wolf king, who is not Lu Bu?

Immediately a horizontal Fang Tian painting halberd, the cold halberd blade in the faint moonlight, reflecting the cold cold, the team behind is all cavalry, neat and quiet walking on the road, like a ghost army walking in the dark night, only the crisp sound of hooves, echoing in the wilderness.

Far away, there was still a distance of five or six miles from Yixian, Lu Bu suddenly raised his hand, and the two thousand cavalry behind him suddenly stopped, and their movements were uniform, as if after countless rehearsals, a breath of Xiao killing enveloped the surroundings, and many birds and birds that had fallen asleep were awakened by this Xiao killing breath, and flew around in panic.

Through the vast night, Yixian can only see a rough outline under the shroud of night, the looming firelight, faint in the thick of the night, the red rabbit horse seems to have a premonition of the upcoming battle, excitedly shaved its front hooves, and the end of its nose continues to spew white gas.

Stretching out his hand to soothe the restlessness of the red rabbit horse, Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Zhou Cang beside him.

After Zhou Cang nodded, he turned over and dismounted, and behind him, a team of cavalry also quickly dismounted, each taking off the rope hook and claw from the horse, and more than 30 people under the leadership of Zhou Cang, quietly touched the city wall of Yixian.

Although Yixian County is not a rush, but at this moment, as a place where the Xiliang army hoards grain and grass, there should be heavy troops stationed there, but neither Ma Chao nor Hou Xuan thinks that Lu Bu will have the ability to detour through their rear under such an unfavorable situation, so he only left 2,000 people stationed in Yixian, and there has been no enemy army in the past few days, which also made the defenders of Yixian County feel slack, and they fell asleep early.

Zhou Cang quietly approached the fire, facing a Xiliang army finally found this uninvited guest, just wanted to call, Zhou Cang shook his hand and shot out the flying knife in his hand, as a result of his life, the bronze war knife on his waist followed out of the sheath, the cold flashed, the two heads rolled down, and there were two short screams in the distance, and then disappeared, Zhou Cang got up and looked, thirty elite trapped camp soldiers had completed their respective tasks, and converged towards this side.

"Kaesong!"

Solving the few defenders on the city wall, Zhou Cang quickly led the men and horses towards the direction of the city gate, along the way, he didn't meet half of the night patrol, from Lu Bu's order to open the city gate, the whole process took less than a stick of incense.

Crunch~

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and Lu Bu, who had been waiting outside the city gate, entered the city with soldiers and horses, and did not deliberately hide his tracks, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves finally attracted the attention of the defenders in the city.

"Kill~"

Lu Bu walked straight to the center of the city, and the knights behind him were in a team of ten, murderously pounced on the Xiliang army who were supposed to patrol the night but didn't know which corner to hide in to fish, the earth-shattering shouts and the sound of weapons colliding finally woke up this sleeping city, but unfortunately, from the moment Lu Bu entered the city, it was too late for the Xiliang army guarding the city.

The panicked Xiliang army didn't even have time to put on their armor, so they were scolded by the generals angrily and rushed out of the barracks with their weapons, but what greeted them was a dense stream of cold and ruthless arrows, losing the defense of their armor, and their lives became fragile at this moment.

"Hurry up!" A Xiliang general angrily slashed the two cowering Xiliang troops, and with some messy armor, he rode his horse back and forth, scolding the Xiliang army to encircle and suppress those damned enemy troops.

"Zhou Cang." Lu Bu glanced at the other party sideways, seeing that the armor should be the defender of this city, he immediately pointed at Fang Tian's halberd, a general of this level was not qualified to let him shoot, but said lightly: "This kind of waste, it's useless to keep it." ”

"Yes!" A hideous smile appeared on Zhou Cang's face, he grabbed the bronze war knife in his hand, and the two scuds were in this city port alley, and the speed was definitely not much worse than Lu Bu's red rabbit, and all of a sudden, he had already rushed to the front of the general.

"Where did the dog thief come from, eat me with a knife!" The military general was startled when he saw an iron tower-like man rushing in front of him, and then he shouted angrily, and the spear in his hand stabbed towards Zhou Cang.

The sky swirled, the headless corpse slipped off the horse in the frightened roar of the surrounding soldiers, Zhou Cang's face was more murderous, and he didn't wait for the cavalry behind him, the bronze knife trembled, and a cloud of knives had already killed the pro-soldiers who rushed up around him, and in an instant, Zhou Cang's body had been pulled three wounds, but more than a dozen pro-soldiers had died under his knife, and the iron cavalry behind him had been killed at this time, and under the leadership of Zhou Cang, the pro-guards were scattered.

With the death of the guards and guards, this war can be regarded as coming to an end, although the resistance is still continuing, Lu Bu did not pay any attention to it, greeted Zhou Cang, and walked straight in the direction of the county government with a team of men and horses.

After a night of fighting, when the first rays of the morning sun shone on the city filled with blood and evil spirit, the sound of battle in the city had gradually faded away.

"Lord, we sent it!"

Zhou Cang rushed in from outside the door covered in blood, and saw Lu Bu shouting excitedly.

"How's the battle damage?" Lu Bu didn't pay attention to what he gained, he was alone this time, no matter how much he captured, he couldn't take it away, compared to it, he was more concerned about the casualties.

"Six of our troops were killed in the battle, and more than a dozen were slightly wounded, but not seriously wounded." Zhou Cang said excitedly: "However, we have captured fifty-one and sixteen Xiliang soldiers, and there are as many as five thousand war horses in the city, and the granary is full of grain and grass. ”

"Find a place to bury the bodies of our dead brothers, and when we come back, we will bury them properly." Lu Bu stood up and said in a deep voice: "Take all the war horses and let go of those captured Xiliang troops, as for the grain and grass, ......"

Looking at Zhou Cang, Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Let the brothers leave enough food for three days, and burn the rest." ”

"Ah, burned!?" Zhou Cang's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at Lu Bu: "Lord, that's thousands of stone grains, isn't it a pity to burn it like this?" ”

"Why don't you go and carry it back." Lu Bu glanced at Zhou Cang.

"Uh......" Zhou Cang scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, he was used to being a bandit, and when he saw so much grain and grass, he almost couldn't walk, and only then did he remember that they came out this time, but it was not just as simple as robbing grain, and then he wondered: "Why did those prisoners go?" Even if you can't surrender, you can kill them, lest you turn around and attack us again. ”

"Kill them?" Lu Bu glanced at him helplessly, shook his head and said, "Who is going to tell Ma Chao that the grain and grass are gone?" This news, how to walk to Ma Chaojun? ”

If it is one or two people, Ma Chao can still block the news, but more than 500 people throw it back, and I am afraid that it will not take long for the matter of grain and grass to be burned to spread all over Ma Chao's military camp in an instant, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for Ma Chao not to retreat.

"The lord is wise, and the general will do it." Zhou Cang laughed wryly, turned around and went to deliver his life.

Lu Bu sighed, Xiong Kuohai was left in Chang'an by him, waiting for Chen Gong to dispatch, and the generals who could be used at hand were all dispatched, otherwise he would not let Zhou Cang, a fool, be his deputy general.
