Above Xiao Guan. Liu Xuan, who is known for attaching great importance to elegance and demeanor on weekdays, has long lost his former calmness.

It's been days since I had a good rest. Liu Xuan's eyes were red, and the gray hair on his head became more and more gray, slightly messy on his head. Facing the Shanyue barbarians who couldn't remember the first time they screamed and rushed up, he roared hard.

"Quick! Fast! Block me from the east! With hot oil! With boiling water! Scald these dog thieves! Hold on a little longer, brethren, reinforcements...... Reinforcements are coming soon! Liu Xuan's voice was already hoarse. But he still kept running and shouting on the Xiaoguan city wall. Not far behind Liu Xuan, where Yuan Shu and Ji Ling committed suicide half a year ago, Liu Miao didn't want to repeat the mistake of Yuan Shu's defeat.

This is the first time that Wu Jun Bingding has seen his lord so embarrassed, as an old and closest Han clan relative to the royal family, when has Liu Miao been so embarrassed? But the current situation is stronger than people, these many barbarians and the original Jiangdong thieves together, as if they don't want to die, wave after wave rushed up, were killed, rushed up, and killed, these days are so back and forth, although Xiao Pass has not been lost, but this back and forth, even an iron man can't stand such a high-intensity combat frequency, seeing that the soldiers are getting closer and closer to the head of the city wall every time, and the soldiers under their command are already worried about their combat strength, just relying on the high and strong defense of the city wall, and the soldiers are seriously tired. There was also news before that Guo Jia wanted to send Tai Shici, the general of the Qingzhou Barracks of the Lu Bu Army, who was holding on to Fuguan, to come back to help, but it had been three or four days, but he didn't even see a single soldier, and the blow to the army's morale was not small. Now I heard Liu Miao talk about reinforcements. Many soldiers didn't have much interest anymore, so they just numbly followed the instructions of the Shangguan, and mechanically boiled the few rolling wood thunder stones and hot oil around them. Dump down the city, and slightly block the onslaught of the incoming troops.

"Brothers, Liu Xuan's old thief can't support it anymore! Let's work hard to capture Xiao Pass, the rich land of Wu County, which is just right for our brothers to share! "In fact, it's not just Liu Xuan, the Yan father and son who are urging the soldiers to attack Xiao Guan. It's not going to be easy at the moment. The addition of the Shanyue barbarians has indeed increased the combat power of their own troops out of thin air, and with the addition of these people. It's only a few days, and Xiao Guan, who is difficult to attack, sees that he is already in danger. This is a happy thing, but I know that my own family is suffering, and these barbarian masters are really not easy to serve. Don't say that you want to eat rice and meat. Because of poor verbal communication. The leader of this group of barbarians, a barbarian man with a strange one-legged bronze man Qimen weapon, obviously understands Chinese, but he deliberately does not restrain the soldiers, and his eyes when he looks at Yan's father and son from time to time are often full of contempt. Yan Yu, who was less than thirty years old, wanted to be angry several times, but Yan Baihu was suppressed by him. can only sprinkle all the fire on the battlefield against Xiao Guan.

Although this war was claimed to be for the Yan clan to expand its living space. And pointed the soldiers at his old opponent, the forces of Liu Xuan of Wu County. Even Yan Yu was convinced that his father was going to take advantage of the ambiguous relationship with Lu Bujun, who was on the other side of the river, and Liu Xuan, who was the pastor of Yangzhou, was guarded by Sun Ce by Yuzhang, and took advantage of the fact that the main force of Lu Bu's army was going north, and brazenly launched an offensive against Huiji County, and took advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie. Even the Shanyue people were "invited" by their own father, although they were not very friendly, but it was enough to show Yan Baihu's determination. Yan Baihu, who is old and sophisticated, didn't tell his baby son a lot of things. For example, Danyang County, which was originally poor and abnormal, and even the military rations were supported by the foundation looted by Yuan Shu before, how could it conjure up so many soldiers enough to cover the army of 20,000 in an instant, and how could it "invite" the Shanyue alien races across Yuzhang and Huiji County from the Yan clan to participate in the war. Sometimes Yan Baihu looked at Yan Yu's excited figure, but he always sighed silently.

"Attack Lao Tzu! Offensive! "From the Shanyue alien race, Yan Yu's attention was all focused on the attack on Xiao Pass. Yan Yu, whose eyes were red by the momentum of the battlefield, became more and more urgent as the strength of the two coalition forces slowly advanced, waving the steel knife in his hand, standing less than a hundred steps away from the closed Xiaoguan gate, personally serving as the supervisor, not knowing that his father was watching from behind.

"Lord, it's almost unbearable!" When the last remaining bit of defensive equipment was thrown on the head of a strange-looking Shanyue barbarian by the soldiers of Wu County, a sudden panic instantly circulated among Liu Xuan's army. Liu Miao still underestimated the covetousness of the Yan father and son, or the people behind him for Wu Jun, and for ten days, he spent all the military equipment that Liu Miao had hoarded when he insisted on personally guarding Xiao Pass. But who would have thought that instead of relying on Xiao Guan's solidity and being fully prepared, as Liu Miao expected at the beginning, he would be able to repel the enemy who would attack in the future, but he would end up in the current situation.

"Brothers, someone Liu can't stand everyone!" Liu Miao sighed deeply. Whether it was driven out of Wu County by Sun Ce before, or in the face of Lu Bu's "blackmail", Liu Miao always thought that it was a mistake to fight, if he gave himself enough soldiers, food, grass, military equipment, Liu Miao thought that he would not lose to anyone who "ganged up" on the stage of the Han Dynasty. Han clan relatives! How can it be compared to the border city puppets, county officials, and even the aconite-headed thieves?

But now Liu Miao suddenly felt a little disheartened. Guo Jia is right, these days can not be achieved without great luck and courage. Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and even the deceased Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, between success and failure, there will be a simple judgment on success or failure based on hardware such as military resources, grain and grass. I'm really not that material! In the end, it is not as thorough as a young man who looked down on him before.

"My lord! Reinforcements...... Will reinforcements come? "People will have the heart of death, but they will not have the idea of greed for life. The words and deeds of the commander of an army will, to a large extent, have a positive or negative impact on the soldiers under his command. At present, because of Liu Xuan's decadence, the morale of the entire Xiao Pass has plummeted for a while. Facing the fierce Shanyue barbarians who swarmed up the long ladder to climb the wall and the red-eyed Yan soldiers who were stimulated by the reward, the hands of the Wu County soldiers holding the swords trembled a little. There are even cracks in the walls that are a little lower. almost let a killer general who attacked and killed three or five Wu soldiers come up and fish in troubled waters.

"Liu Miao can't stand it! Brothers, do your best, don't let those southern barbarians look down on us! "On the wall of Xiaoguan. Liu Xuan's dejected appearance was looked at by Yan Yu, who was very close. Yan Yu, who had a fierce face, was full of wild smiles on his face at the moment, waving the long knife in his hand, under the escort of several personal soldiers, regardless of his own Lao Tzu Yan Baihu's anxious shouting in the back, he almost wanted to go into battle in person to snatch the first achievement!

"My lord! What to do? Whether you fight or retreat, you will listen to the orders of the lord! Although the last general and others do not know the righteousness. I also swear to live with the Lord in the public! "Although there are frequent chaos in the Han Dynasty now, after all, the number of qi is not exhausted, to say that Liu Miao has been the assassin of Yangzhou for a period of time before after all. After being reinstated as the pastor of Yangzhou, although his achievements in military strength are not high, after all, he also has the identity of a Han clan and is the lord of a state. Although only Wu County and Huiji County can barely control it. But he also gathered some die-hard Han family people around him.

"Heaven wants to kill me, Liu Xuan, what do you have to do with you?" Liu Xuan, who admits that his death is approaching, and Liu Xuan, who has no face to face his father in Yangzhou again, seems to have changed at this moment. The "royal momentum" that was always high above the body before has disappeared at this moment, replaced by a complex aura mixed with a hint of relief in the dazedness, facing the final surround around Liu Xuan, just waiting for the chaos to break through. The guards who also wanted to protect Liu Miao from being injured first smiled bitterly and persuaded him: "All the gentlemen have not yet broken through the thieves at this moment, so let's run for your lives quickly!" If it's late. It is impossible to say that Liu himself is difficult to protect, and he can't protect the brothers. ”

"Then the lord, ...... you" Liu Xuan's suddenly such approachable words made the faces of these die-hard people around him sluggish for a moment, and even though they understood what Liu Xuan meant, none of them moved, and they all asked with anxious expressions.

"When Liu was expelled by the Sun thief a few years ago, he should have died in the soldiers' formation! To this day, after seeing such loyal and righteous people as Zhujun, Liu Miao can be blind even if he dies immediately. As he spoke, there were already several fierce-looking Shanyue barbarian soldiers, following the unique climbing soft rope of Shanyue such as the Flying Tiger Catch, avoiding the sight of the soldiers of Wu County who were still resisting behind the female wall, and climbed the Xiaoguan city wall, fighting with the soldiers on the wall, although they were quickly surrounded and killed, but the morale of the soldiers on the wall was reduced a lot again. But Liu Xuan seemed to no longer pay attention to the situation of the war, and slowly pulled out the sword from the waist of the lieutenant general, this sword inlaid with gold and jade was still selected by Qin Xu from the gift of "tribute" to the Han Emperor Liu Xie when he was in Luoyang. As if caressing the girl's soft figure, Liu Miao gently picked up the silk scarf that was already full of sweat and wiped it, and the confused light in his eyes became more and more solemn.

"My lord! Reinforcements...... Reinforcements ......" Liu Miao slowly raised the hilt of the sword, stroked the sharp blade with his fingers, and was about to make a move, when suddenly a soldier surrounded by the periphery shouted in a hurried tone.

"Reinforcements? Scold! Liu Xuan's eyes did not move, and he smiled bitterly. I can't tell what it's like in my heart. What reinforcements? has come to this point, and he still expects Guo Jiana to have been humiliated by his own life, but now he is "relying on" the prestige of Lu Bujun, and he has to make him, the stinky boy who personally guarded Xiao Pass in order to avoid embarrassment, be so kind to take the opportunity to avenge the humiliation of the year and send reinforcements? When he really wanted to learn the news of Tai Shici's return to help, it was just a smoke bomb set off by Guo Jia, and Liu Miao was dead set on Guo Jia, who had never given him a smile since he beat Qin Xu at that time. Now what Liu Miao is concerned about is only whether he will leave a laugh in history after the sword in his hand is full of his master's blood, and he will get an incompetent comment from the historian. As for the rest, everything is already unimportant.

"My lord! It's true! It's really reinforcements! The soldier screamed, pointing to the black crowd on the horizon behind Xiao Pass. The banner that once made his own army think several times was equivalent to Sun Ce and Yan's thieves, and had coveted Yangzhou for a long time, and was hated by the soldiers of Wu County, is now so cute in the eyes of the soldiers who have given birth to despair.

"Huh?" Perhaps the soldier's shouting voice was too sharp, which made Liu Xuan's move to become the third person above Xiao Guan to commit suicide, which did not cause Liu Xuan to think before, the bloody scene of loyal ministers bidding farewell to the old master. It was originally a group of soldiers who surrounded Liu Xuan, but at this moment, it seems that they no longer have the heart to die together with their previous loyalty. One by one, they ran to the side of the female wall on the back, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers like Jedi life.

Liu Miao was also attracted by the actions of the troops around him. Look around. On the back less than five miles away from Xiao Pass, I didn't see where the soldiers belonged clearly, but I first saw a big flag, which was waving in the wind under the escort of dozens of cavalry, and vaguely, I could only see a big Qin character, which was in the front. And then, there were soldiers in black and black clothes and leather armor, leading a group of soldiers in yellow clothes on a white background. is marching rapidly, approaching Xiao Pass.

"Look, my lord! Behind the strict thief! Just when Liu Xuan's heart was suddenly stunned by this scene of wanting to die and come back to life, the soldiers of Wu County who were desperately resisting the siege of Shanyue and Yan's father and son. It was also a sudden shout full of surprise. Pointing to the rear of the coalition army, which was still on the offensive just now, but at the moment it was a little chaotic, his voice was full of disbelief.

Liu Miao threw the sword that he was still caressing lightly like a lover just now on the ground, and ran to the female wall in front of him, pushing away the soldiers who were worried that Liu Miao would be injured by the incoming soldiers, and looked down.

Sure enough, just as the soldier who had screamed just now had said. It was built haphazardly. After the camp of the Yan clan and the Shanyue barbarian alliance army, which was not in order at all, an army with the same dress as the soldiers who appeared on the back of Xiao Pass suddenly appeared. Above the banner fluttering in the wind. A big Cao character is also eye-catching tight.

Moreover, this seemed to suddenly appear behind the combined forces of the Yan clan and the Shanyue barbarians, and as soon as they showed their true colors, they immediately launched an attack without saying hello. Especially in the front of the more than 200 people, although the feather arrows are sparse and almost countable, but because of the sudden attack from behind, and the breakthrough into the coalition camp less than fifty steps, they were discovered by the vigilant Shanyue barbarians, and when they were about to react, it was because most of the army was sent under Xiao Pass, and they could not retreat back at all.

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! "The situation is changing! Liu Miao was almost instantly resurrected with full blood on the spot, flew up and grabbed the sword that had just been thrown on the ground, his eyes were red, and he pointed to the direction of the Yan father and son and the Shanyue barbarian alliance that had just almost lost the idea of Liu Miao living that had just retreated like a tide, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and shouted with ecstasy in his tone, and then his eyes were black, and he fell straight down.

Liu Xuan, who suddenly relaxed, finally couldn't hold it anymore. But fortunately, before he passed out, he gave the order to open the gate to the soldiers of the Lu Bu army who came from Xiao Guan, and fully handed over the defense. And the Yan father and son under Xiao Pass, as well as the Shanyue Barbarian Soldiers, the leader of Shanyue who used Qimen weapons, were not as leisurely and comfortable as they were a quarter of an hour ago, and they were full of confidence.

"What people! Who could suddenly appear in the rear of our army? How did your soldiers defend it? The barbarian leader who had been pretending not to understand Chinese before, and allowed the Shanyue barbarians to bully the Yan generals, was not in the mood to continue pretending at the moment, and rushed to Yan Baihu almost in three steps and two steps, grabbed the thief king who had almost occupied half of Yangzhou with his beard, and asked angrily.

"Brute thief! Let go of my Father! "The Shanyue barbarian general forced Yan Baihu to ask about the situation, but he was being seen by Yan Yu, who was still full of confidence before and wanted to go to the city in person to grab the merit, but this time he could only flee back in a hurry. Although Yan Yu has been working with the thieves under Yan Baihu since he was a child, burning, killing and looting is only a daily routine, but for his father, Yan Yu puts it first. Seeing that Yan Yu, who was angry because he was dissatisfied with this barbarian general who allowed the Shanyue barbarians to bully his own soldiers, but was suppressed by Yan Baihu and held back a breath of anger, this time in the emergency situation of the sudden appearance of the foreign enemy, this barbarian general did not think of a common strategy to break the enemy or break through, but took his own father out of anger, this is still it? Yan Yu, who was still a little flustered just now, was also enthusiastic at this moment, and suddenly ignored the dangerous situation of the two coalition forces now, raised the knife in his hand and greeted the barbarian general.

"Humph! is just a little thief, and he dares to be so ruthless to your grandfather! Yan Yu's blade did not arrive, the brute seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, and the one-legged bronze man in his hand pulled out his backhand, and the bent arm of the bronze man just stuck Yan Yu's blade, and with just one twist, the knife in Yan Yu's hand was broken, and the bronze man's head, which was the size of a watermelon, was castrated, and he smashed it on the head of Yan Yu, who was too strong and did not contain his body for a while.

"Yu'er!" Yan Baihu is over half a hundred years old, but there is only one only son like Yan Yu, who is about to die at the hands of Zu Lang, the marshal of the Shanyue Sect, his face is pale, and he is flushed with excitement in an instant. I don't know where the strength and courage come from, I broke free from Zu Lang's arm around the neck, and I don't care about the fact that my own soldiers and Shanyue barbarians have been mixed together, and I don't care about the many benefits and life and death threats promised by the young man surnamed Zhou behind it, and even the soldiers who have already fought with their own soldiers in the front and bottom of the situation immediately become a one-sided situation, and in the eyes of Yan Baihu at this moment, there is only the idea of rescuing his own son who is about to die at the hands of Zu Lang.

"Old horseman! I'll kill you! Seeing that the one-legged bronze man in his hand was about to smash the head of Yan Yu, whose face was pale with a bit of panic and fear, this was Zu Lang, who was the marshal of the Shanyue Sect, his favorite way to kill. And just when he was about to succeed, Zu Lang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be wiped out in an instant, and the one-legged bronze man also fell to the ground because of his lack of stamina. When Zu Lang looked back, he only saw Yan Baihu, who had all his beard and hair, and the sharp sword in his hand that he had coveted for a long time was only outside his body, and there was only one sword hilt left...... (To be continued......)
