Xue Lan stood behind the battlement wall, watching the fire dragons in the distance gradually converge in the direction of the dock fort, a pair of thick and thick eyebrows tightening tighter and tighter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Xue Lan came to Jiuyuan County, in addition to training the soldiers in the Lu Clan's Dock Fort, he also sent a lot of people out and scattered around Jiuyuan County, once he encountered an abnormal situation, he could quickly return to the Dock Fort.

However, tonight's situation was so abrupt that none of those who had dispersed returned.

Fortunately, someone had already passed the news that Lu Bu had broken the Xianbei people in Mayi, so Xue Lan had anticipated and prepared for the possible revenge of the Xianbei people.

The fire dragons of the brigade were really coming towards the Lu family, they slowed down their march five miles away from the Lujiawu Fort, and then began to organize the formation, and then slowly approached the Lujiawu Fort.

According to Xue Lan's visual inspection, there was at least a team of more than 5,000 people outside the dock fort.

Outside the Dock Fort, the warriors of the Hochiro and Koons tribes had already completed their assembly, and they looked at the Dock Fort not far away, and their faces showed hatred and greed.

Budugen rode on his horse and shouted loudly to the two tribal warriors who were eager for revenge: "Xianbei warriors from the north of Yin Mountain, in front of you is the lair of your common enemy, which not only lives the enemy's wife, children and parents, but also hides the countless blood and sweat they have squeezed from our Xianbei people over the years!" Break that small earthen fort, capture Lu Bu's family, and rob all the gold and silver treasures, grain, and livestock in the earthen fort, and you can make up for your tribe's losses! ”

"Kill! Break the earthen fort and kill all the Han people! ”

"Let's go together, the Han people are weak two-legged sheep!"

The shouts of killing one after another sounded outside the dock fort.

Xue Lan was worried that the soldiers guarding the fort would waver, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid! Admiral Tiance beat the 20,000 cavalry of the Xianbei people to the ground with only 2,000 horsemen in Mayi, and also killed their two chiefs, many thousand commanders! We are the family soldiers of Admiral Tiance, and none of us are afraid! ”

"The Tiance Army wins!"

"Die to the dog!"

Although the number of soldiers on the fort wall was far less than that of the enemy outside the fort, they used the cover of the wall to shout in unison from a high position, and their momentum was not lost to the Xianbei people outside the fort.

Seeing that the bluff was ineffective, the Xianbei people began to launch a tentative attack overnight. They drove their horses close to the fort wall, intending to mount and shoot at the defenders at the top of the wall. Xue Lan did not wait for the Xianbei cavalry to approach, so he ordered all the torches to be extinguished, and then strictly ordered the crossbowmen not to shoot without authorization, and all of them hid behind the battlements, and first observed the movements of the Xianbei cavalry.

The Xianbei people then "roared" around the outside of the dock fort, but not even a single person was injured, but many arrows fell into the dock fort, and then were swept together with a broom by the women in the dock fort.

Budugan found it a bit foolish to shoot arrows around the Dock Fort, and hurriedly ordered the attack to be stopped, and he had some strips of cloth stained with grease prepared and tied to the shaft of the arrow, ready to fire rockets into the Dock Fort.

Xue Lan had been paying close attention to the movements under the fort wall, and when he saw that the Xianbei people planned to attack with fire, he immediately sent orders to the head of the wall and the inside of the fort. The crossbowmen at the head of the wall were ready to shoot, and the people inside the fort were ready to put out the fire with wet felt.

At night, every light of fire is the best target. When the Xianbei people picked up the lit rockets and approached the dock fort, they were immediately met with a strong crossbow shot from the fort wall.

When shooting downward, it had an advantage in range, and the Han people's special strong crossbow was much stronger than the bow and arrow in terms of range and accuracy, so the Xianbei people immediately suffered a big loss.

A round of powerful crossbow shots hit about half of the Xianbei people who were trying to get close to the Dock Fort.

The biggest disadvantage of a strong crossbow is that it takes too long to load the arrow, but this is not a problem for the crossbowmen in the fort. Because after pulling the trigger of the crossbow, they immediately put the crossbow down and picked up the longbow!

The longbow is not as accurate as a crossbow, but it can fire quickly.

Xue Lan gave the order for the archers to shoot three times in a row, and suddenly the dense rain of arrows on the wall rushed towards the place where there was a bright light, and shot the remaining Xianbei cavalry with rockets.

Seeing that the defense on the wall was very tight, Budugen hurriedly ordered to stop the senseless tentative attack. He withdrew everyone five miles back, let the troops rest for the night, and then think of a way to attack the dock fort after dawn.

The defenders on the fort wall saw the enemy retreating, and immediately let out one cheer after another.

Xue Lan immediately ordered that except for the family soldiers who were in charge of patrolling and guarding that night, they would continue to be on duty, and the rest of them would go back and seize the time to rest.

Xue Lan shouted to the side of the four henchmen who had come to Jiuyuan with him, and whispered: "After the two of you go out of the tunnel overnight, first go around to the west, avoid the Xianbei people's horses, and then cross the river as fast as possible, and bring the news of the Xianbei people's attack on Lu's Wubao to Guangyan, there are our people over there!" The two of you, after escaping from the tunnel, kept walking westward, and when you passed by the Han people's villages and dock forts, you warned them and told them to quickly find a place to hide, and not to be caught by the Xianbei people! ”

The four henchmen looked at Xue Lan with some concern, and one of them said, "General, the four of us are gone, what should you do?" ”

"Don't worry about my safety, Admiral Tiance has entrusted me with the responsibility of protecting the Lu family, and I will definitely stay with the Lu family! You can rest assured, although the Xianbei people are very fierce, their means of besieging the city are commonplace, and they have no chance to get on the fortress wall without more than half a month! ”

The four veterans immediately packed their bags, quietly sneaked into the tunnel, left from the valley in the back mountain, and then split up according to Xue Lan's instructions.

The next morning, the sky was light. In an open square in the dock fort, except for the soldiers who stayed on the castle wall to patrol the guard, Lu Liang gathered everyone in the dock fort.

Lu Liang stood on a wooden platform and said in a deep voice to the thousands of people surrounding below: "Everyone has heard that my son Lu Bu is now the official of General Bai Tiance, who is the same as Jiuqing, and is in charge of the killing and military affairs in the north of the Han Dynasty, and there are tens of thousands of tigers and wolves under his command. A month ago, Wu'er only led 2,000 horsemen, and killed 20,000 Xianbei dogs in Mayi, and beheaded more than ten chiefs! Now, these Xianbei dogs who have suffered losses want to come to Lujiawu Fort to bargain, do you think we can agree? ”

"Never!"

"Kill all the Xianbei dogs!"

"Good! That's how it should be! Lu Liang took out the sword hanging from his waist, raised it diagonally to the sky, and then continued: "The enemy is now, and he needs to work together to see death as home!" Lu Liang hereby swears that whoever dies in this battle, the Lu family will feed your family for you! Anyone who was injured in this battle, the Lu family will heal and compensate for you! ”

After listening to Lu Liang's oath, everyone shouted in unison: "I am willing to live and die with the Lu family!" ”

The young Lu Wen held the hand of her grandmother Huang, and the other hand of the Huang family held the hand of her daughter-in-law Yan, and the three women stood behind Lu Liang, the head of the Lu family, with calm and firm eyes.
