Chapter 260: Life hangs by a thread, and two heavens are close at hand

The small city of Lantian is not more than 200 steps wide, it has long been destroyed in the war and fire, the houses in the city have collapsed, only some ruins and broken walls remain, and there are no people for a long time. The only remaining remnant wall, the highest point is only two zhang, the low place is only up to people's knees, the material is rammed earth, no more than an arm's thick, it can no longer be called a city, but it is the ancestral residence of one of the cavalry generals led by Yan Liang this time.

This general saw only half of the city gate in front of him, like a dead city in Lantian County, was feeling sad and hesitant, and suddenly heard Yan Liang's words that he wanted to enter the city, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Wait, General Yan, the last general thought that his hometown was still there, so he said that General Jinyan came here to rest for a while, and replenished some food and water, which can also satisfy the last general's selfishness." But unexpectedly, this city has been destroyed, the road is dead, only some scorched earth and broken wood are left, there is no place to cover the body with tiles, it is really unknown, the general is noble, or don't go into the city to dye bad luck! ”

"Hmm! You have a point! The dead city is indeed unknown, and it is extremely bad to get into bad luck in plain water! Anyway, the herald ordered the soldiers to rest in the city for half an hour to raise horses, and there is no need to make food, let's go to Cao Mengde's place to have an extra night meal! After listening to the general's persuasion, Yan Liang pondered for a moment, and did not continue to insist on entering the city to check, and said with a laugh.

"The general is mighty! I heard that Cao Mengde fought very smoothly this time, not only received a lot of Xiliang generals, but also got a lot of military supplies, grain and grass, maybe he was in a hurry and no one enjoyed it for him! Seeing that his hometown has become a dead city, he doesn't have to be ruined by the horse team he belongs to again, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and flattered Yan Liang and said.

Only one wall apart, Yan Liang and the general's conversation voice played again, but it made Qin Xu and the others who were hiding under the low wall breathe a sigh of relief, and looked out along the gap in the wall, only to see the ignited pine oil torches connected into a sea of fire, and a group of black cavalry were dismounting and sitting on the ground outside the city. Except for the whistling of the night wind and the occasional neighing of horses, there was no noise, but it made Yan Liang and the others understand what they said, and at the same time, they were also impressed by the skill of Yan Liang, a famous general in Hebei.

Through the firelight, Qin Xu used the three-point vision of his eyes to look at the famous general of the Yuan family, who was also sitting on the ground and facing his side. He was about thirty years old, with a beard on his face, knotted muscles and flesh on his bare arms under his armor, leaning on a long knife, closing his eyes and recuperating himself, with a majestic appearance.

In fact, in his previous life, Qin Xu was still quite aggrieved for the first fierce general of the Yuan family. Even if it is in the history books, when describing the general who beheaded several members of the Cao army in Baima, Zhang Liao, who even Guan Yu admired very much, was not his opponent, and the generals of the Cao army were terrified, and when he was beheaded by the red-faced Guan, he also emphasized the sentence "When Yan Liangzheng wanted to ask himself, Guan Yu cut down the ...... with a knife because of the speed of the horse". It shows that this fierce general who died of grievances in history, in fact, his combat power should not be under the red-faced pass, but it is a pity that Yuan Shaokong has such a loyal fierce general but cannot survive for a long time, which can be regarded as a tragic rush home.

"Huh?" The intuition of a martial artist is actually terrifying, even compared to a woman's sixth sense. Just as Qin Xu was looking at Yan Liang's appearance in the crack of the wall with his regretful gaze, Yan Liang suddenly opened his eyes suddenly. Although he knew that he couldn't see himself on the other side of the deep crack in the wall in the bright place, Qin Xu was still startled by the sudden ejaculation of the essence light. Fortunately, he has long been accustomed to living under the "coercion" of his father-in-law Lu Wenhou, and Lu Bu's favorite thing is probably to blow his beard and stare at him, although Qin Xu was startled by Yan Liang's sudden burst with a strong murderous look, he still couldn't help but not make a sound.

"You're right, this dead city is really weirdly tight!" Fortunately, in these years, the theory of ghosts and gods is still very marketable. Yan Liang just relied on his intuition to feel that someone was peeping at him, but he was not sure if it was an illusion, after all, just now his own general had already done a "preventive shot" in advance, saying that this place was damaged by military disasters and wars, and it had been uninhabited for a long time, and the evil door was tight, so he didn't think about it elsewhere. Yan Liang stared at the low wall that gave him a strange feeling, looked at the ruined city walls that still existed on all sides, frowned, and ordered: "We are the vanguard of the lord, when the mountain opens the way, and the water builds a bridge, this dead city is too evil to survive, and it is too evil to survive, and I ordered someone to destroy these city walls, and the province is troubled!" ”

"General Yan......" The general still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yan Liang waving his hand. Staring at the low wall where Qin Xu and the others were, he snorted coldly and said: "Whether you are waiting for some lonely souls and wild ghosts, or the rat spirits of the City Fox Society, Yan has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he also has a hundred and ten lives on hand, so let you wait and see the murderous aura of your grandfather Yan Liang!" ”

Qin Xu would never have thought that he would have a time when he was only separated by a wall of death!

Qin Xu behind the city wall really didn't expect that it was because of his own glance that Yan Liang, who didn't want to enter the city, actually had the idea of destroying the city, and thought that it was some evil things such as spirits, which made Qin embarrassed. After listening to Yan Liang's "bold words", he sighed secretly in his heart, and looked apologetically at the people who didn't know why Yan Liang was suddenly going to destroy the city through the firelight projected through the cracks.

Time is also fate!

LΓΌ Bu, LΓΌ Wenhou, LΓΌ Qingzhou; Cai Yong, Cai Zhonglang, stubborn old man; Mi Zhu Mi Fang, several old fathers-in-law and eldest brothers! I'm afraid that your precious daughter and little sister will probably be widows after getting rid of the bad luck in the history books. And Cao Ang, honest child, I didn't expect you to die under the bad taste of your father's wife Cao in Wancheng, but you died here! There are also Sima Mao, Xu Shang, and Kong Bin, the three old friends who are trapped in the camp, as well as the twenty personal guards who first entered the camp, I am afraid that we Qin Xu owe you, and we can't pay it back in this life. As for Cheng Yu, qtmd!

"Report! General Yan! Ten miles ahead, our scouting horses intercepted a runaway horse, and it seemed that it was about to come towards us. Just as Yan Liang's elite soldiers had already drawn their swords and gathered, just waiting for Yan Liang's raised hands to fall, they rushed up and destroyed the remnants of Lantian County, which was originally built with mud and had many cracks. But suddenly saw a horse galloping from the west, dismounted and said to Yan Liang.

"Huh? Get out of the warhorse? Could it be that there are cavalry stationed ahead? Yan Liang's raised arm slowly put it down, and he didn't have the heart to care about whether there were really any spirits and evil things in this dead city, looking at the war horse held by this soldier, looking up and down.

Hearing that something seemed to have changed on the side of the low wall, Qin Xu pursed his lips, which were already a little chapped due to nervousness, and sighed softly, and even Cao Ang, who had a panicked face but forced himself to calm down, smiled, and once again threw himself and almost exposed his more than fifty people to look out in front of the 10,000 cavalry.

I saw that the soldier was holding it in his hand, and the war horse that was being inspected by Yan Liang was the Yanzhou war horse that had been driven away by Xu Huang and others before. It had only been driven away for less than half an hour, and Qin Xu naturally recognized it. Somehow, I didn't expect that even in such a dangerous situation, the word "old horse knows the way" could still appear in his mind, and the corners of Qin Xu's mouth couldn't help but put a smile on his lips.

Those who have thunder in their chests and their faces are like a peaceful lake can worship the general! What's more, General Qin, who can still laugh under such circumstances? Everyone didn't know that Yan Liang's sudden order was caused by Qin Xu's "peeping", and they thought that this sudden change was also Qin Xu's strategy.

And what Qin Xu didn't know was that because of his smile, he had to clench the weapons in his hands because of Yan Liang's order just now, and the three Lao Xu, who were always waiting for Qin Xu's order to kill Chengren, and their fingers were already on the trigger of the Xiandeng crossbow, and the twenty soldiers of the Xiandeng Battalion who were ready to kill Yan Liang first at any time were unanimous with admiration on their faces. Even Cao Jun seemed to be infected by Qin Xu's smile, and gradually quieted down, and a complicated look flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes who fell to the ground.

"The mark of Yanzhou, this is Cao Jun's war horse!" Yan Liang seemed to have forgotten the idea of destroying this evil gate dead city just now, looked up and down at the war horse that originally belonged to Cao Ang behind the low wall, frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked the horse and said, "You said that this horse was found ten miles ahead, but have you ever found traces of Cao Jun's soldiers and horses?" ”

"General Huiyu, I didn't see it!" Seeing Yan Liang's unswerving face, the herald said uneasily: "But just around there, we found traces that didn't seem to be a horse, and there were also thirty or fifty horses' hoof prints. It's just that because the wind is strong at night, the traces are very shallow, and the hoof prints are quite messy, it is really impossible to judge where they came from. ”

"Hmm! That's right! This horse must have been lost by Cao Jun's sentry horseman! Yan Liang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that this place is still more than 100 miles away from Tongguan, and even if Cao Jun's sentry cavalry spreads widely, there is no reason to spread 100 miles away!" Wrong! There must be Cao cavalry stationed within thirty miles of the vicinity! The whole army is on horseback and on alert! ”

"No!" More than 10,000 people responded in unison, making the ground seem to shake, and it could be seen that Yan Liang was quite satisfied with the tacit understanding of the cavalry under his command, turned over his horse, and ordered loudly: "Order!" Cao Jun is close to the left! All the soldiers went with a certain to visit that Cao **! ”

"Whew! Hahahaha! "I have never been so close to death, and I have never seen such a dramatic reversal, until the sound of the hooves of the Yan Liang cavalry is no longer audible, and the cat is behind the low wall, as if Cao Ang and others, who have experienced a long journey from life to death, seeing that Qin someone, who has successfully established the impression of "no last resort" in the eyes of everyone, actually seems to have been suddenly drained of all his strength, and was not supported by the old Xu beside him, and he breathed against the low wall, but they all laughed together.

"Brother's plan, it's really a ghost and a god! How could you have expected that Dingang, the same war horse as you, would surely turn around? And that Yan Liang will inevitably be suspicious, thinking that his father's army is close to the left? Cao Ang laughed enough, and tried to stand up with his hand holding on to the low wall, but found that this foot didn't listen to the call, so he could only lean closer to Qin Xu's place, with a hint of admiration in his expression, and asked.

"......Huh" Qin Xu was attracted by everyone's laughter, and let out a long breath of turbid breath in his chest, and heard Cao Ang's question, and everyone's expectant eyes, he wanted to make up a reason to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything...... (To be continued.) )
