Chapter 44: The Old Man Comes

"Squeak~" The gate of the plain finally opened slowly, and the people and horses from inside the city swarmed out, chasing and killing the yellow turbans all over the ground with the Wen Chou Department outside the city.

In fact, after the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Xu He was killed by Wen Chou, the rest of the people also lost their backbone, and for some reason, they didn't have the intention of resisting at all, they just ran around lifelessly. In this way, the yellow scarf is completely in a passive situation, the number of people who have been hacked and killed is innumerable, and only a few of them have escaped for their lives, but they have already broken in all directions, and this yellow scarf is also finished.

In the chaotic battle, Wen Chou picked up a knife and cut several people in a row, and the blades were all cut before throwing the big knife away, complaining: "Although this guy is good, and it is quite cool to cut off people's heads, but it is easy to roll up, and it is still easy to use a spear!" Then he took the spear that he had in his hand, and the spear in his hand, and stabbed several people one after another. Suddenly reined in the horse, and saw that the yellow scarves were almost running, only then did he raise his gun and shouted to the left and right: "No need to chase anymore!" When he heard that there were also men and horses coming out of the city, he immediately packed up and turned around, and immediately rushed to the plain city.

Before I arrived at Pingyuan City, I saw that the city gate was open, and Yuan Tan personally stood at the entrance of the city, waiting with all the soldiers. Wen Chou didn't say a word, drove his horse forward, saw what was coming, and immediately abandoned the horse and dismounted alone. Of course, there was no room in his hand, and he brought a bloody head over. Far away, he threw his head away, and said to Yuan Tan in a long voice: "Big prince! The thief Xu and the head are here, please check! ”

Gollum's head rolled and sprinkled the ground red, Yuan Tan didn't look at it, smelled the heavy blood, and frowned slightly. didn't blame him for being reckless, he just took two steps forward, laughed, and said: "Before General Wen entered the gate of my plain, he had already killed the thief leader non-stop and dispersed the thieves. The city has prepared a little wine for General Wen and you, I hope the general and others will not dislike it, please follow a certain into the city. ”

Wen Chou was not polite, nodded, and followed Yuan Tan into Plains City. To be honest, Yuan Tan looked at Wen Chou's sturdy figure, and his heart was also extremely happy: "With Wen Chou, I can protect the plain!" After entering the city, the banquet has been placed, and Yuan Tan can't help but persuade Wen Chou to drink a few more wines during the banquet. Wen Chou's heart was happy, but he didn't refuse to come. Yuan Tan took the opportunity to ask about the situation in Bohai, saying that Bohai had the upper hand at the moment, otherwise he would not have been able to draw out people so quickly to let him come to Qingzhou to help in the war. He also said that this side of the matter could not be delayed for a long time, and that it should be resolved quickly, because he would not stay in the plains, and would immediately send troops to the east to seek a decisive battle with Tian Kai and others as soon as possible.

Although he said that Yuan Tan would be defeated quickly, he was very happy to see it, after all, he killed Tian Kai a day earlier, and won Qingzhou, so that he Yuan Tan could make up his mind one day earlier. However, just thinking that Wen Chou was so popular, it seemed to be too fast, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, Wen Chou only solved a small group of yellow scarves, and Tian Kai and they are comparable to yellow scarves? Reason told him that it did not seem to be a good thing to look at the enemy too simply, and he was afraid that he would suffer. Although he rarely got involved in the war, he had worked with Chen Nuo for a long time, and he was somewhat inevitably influenced by Chen Nuo, and he had a keen judgment on this matter. However, if you want to persuade him at this time, I am afraid that it will ruin his enthusiasm again, making him cowardly and unable to help him. And he, at this time, urgently needs his help, so it is difficult to say it clearly, but it only indirectly reminds him a few words, so that he must not be careless.

Wen Chou ignored it, in his opinion, no matter how many thieves there were, it was just the soul of his gun. Other than that.

The next day, Wen Chou bid farewell to Yuan Tan early, and immediately raised troops to kill Luoyin in the east. News came from Luoyin, saying that Tian Kai's vanguard had taken Luoyin City. When Wenchou's troops drove to Luoyin City, Tian Kai's vanguard troops in Luoyin City closed the city gate tightly and did not fight. However, if he doesn't open the city, Wen Chou will keep making people scold and fight. With this scolding, the thieves guarding the city couldn't sit still, and damn it, they directly opened the city and killed it.

Wen Chou wanted him to do this, seeing that he was leading people out of the city, he didn't say a word, picked up his spear, and rushed to the enemy formation alone. The vanguard general of Tian Kai's side in front of the battle, before he put on a posture, suddenly saw a person on the opposite side and a horse rushing directly over, it was really not in accordance with the rules, his eyes were all the time, and he immediately slapped his knife and asked: "Who is coming, you can use your name first!" However, where Wen Chou ignored him, he still kept fighting and rushed forward.

The vanguard general on horseback saw his posture, and for some reason he suddenly panicked in his heart, and actually forgot to face the battle. Seeing that he was about to rush, he raised his throat again, raised his knife and shouted at Wen Chou: "Come on...... Yes! Before he could ask, Wen Chou's arm shook, the spear stabbed, and directly stuffed the words he was about to say into his throat, and squeezed him off the horse with a shot. Roar! The soldiers on both sides didn't even have time to react, seeing that the main general was dead, their faces were pale, and they had no courage to fight. In addition, after killing their general at this time, Wen Chou roared again and again, killing several people in a row all the way, and blood spattered five steps, looking like a murderous demon, and the last trace of courage they had was also drained. I don't know who shouted, and everyone scattered.

"Kill!" Wen Chou's order came, and his men followed suit, and they scattered in all directions, like catching fish, and slaughtered the remaining enemies with their knives in hand. Of course, there are still many people who resist on the defending side, but their main generals are dead, and even if they hold on, it is meaningless. In this way, the thieves here were pacified by Wen Chou's men and horses in just half a day, and it was as simple as a whirlwind. After cleaning up the battlefield casually, Wen Chou's troops also drove into Luoyin City.

Poor little Luoyin, after several battles, is already devastated.

Of course, Wen Chou would not stay in Luoyin for long, in his imagination, these aftermath matters were naturally to inform Yuan Tan and let Yuan Tan send someone to deal with it. And he, all he has to do is attack the next city...... Dongpingling!

The striker in Luoyin was swallowed by Wen Chou in one go, and there were not even bones left, and the news reached Tian Kai's ears, which made Tian Kai and Kong Rong really surprised. Tian Kai's hand trembled, and he said in shock: "How fast the thief came!" The news that our army found out a few days ago was that Pingyuan City was besieged by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and did not dare to fight. I waited for this news to slowly pack up the people and settle the Dongpingling County first, and then sent a group of people to Luoyin, thinking that it was a way out. It's just that I thought of it, but in the blink of an eye, the remnants of the Yellow Turban under the Plains City were wiped out, and the thieves also took advantage of the situation to kill me under Luoyin City and killed my vanguard guard, which was really beyond my expectations. Now it seems that although Yuan Shao is entangled with Gongsun Zhan, he has not given up on Qingzhou, and still sent people and horses to rush over for reinforcements. It's just a pity, our original plan was to cooperate with the Yellow Turban thieves first and take the plains, so that even if the thieves arrived, it would be useless. But now it seems that we are still one step slower, not to mention the thief first, and we were caught off guard, and now it is not easy to take Qingzhou smoothly! ”

Kong Rong nodded and said, "It's really not easy!" However, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, I don't think we can sit in the Dongping Tomb anymore, prepare to prepare, and start a war with the thieves! Tian Kai nodded when he heard this, and his fist fell on the wooden case. Originally, with their intelligence, the thieves had to digest and digest what they said after taking Luoyin, so at the latest, the thieves would have to march a few days later. It's just that they didn't think that the thieves took Luoyin, and only rested in Luoyin for a day, and then immediately sent troops again. Send troops, send troops, don't care about other cities, and go straight to Dongpingling. Of course, Wen Chou can ignore other cities, but he can't ignore Taixian County, which is halfway through. So before attacking Dongpingling, he had to take Taixian.

Tian Kai and their original intention was to raise troops to kill Ben Luoyin, and directly kill under Luoyin City, but now they are taken by the enemy one step ahead, and they can only change their initiative to passivity, and leave their men and horses in Taixian County halfway, in order to prepare for Wen Chou's offense. A day later, Wen Chou's men and horses had already been killed under Taixian County. Tian Kai and the two wanted to kill the enemy, and as soon as the enemy arrived, he naturally led his troops to set up a position and confronted the enemy under the city. What Wen Chou wanted was this kind of cleanliness, which just saved him from calling for war, and immediately set up the men and horses and personally pressed the formation in front.

Before the battle, Tian Kai raised his head and saw the banner of the other party clearly, and then he brushed his beard and said: "It turned out to be Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou, no wonder he was so ruthless, and he ran all the way to the city of Taixian so quickly!" Kong Rong snorted and said, "It's just a reckless man, what a way!" "On his side, there is already a general who has stepped forward to kill Wen Chou. It's just a pity, there haven't been three or five rounds yet, and the general screamed miserably, and was directly picked off the horse by Wen Chou, and died a nest.

The whole army shook. On Tian Kai's side, another general immediately went out to fight. However, this will not go through seven or eight rounds in the hands of Wen Chou, and he will be picked and killed by Wen Chou again. In this way, the whole army on Tian Kai's side was once again clear, while Wen Chou's side was applauded, and the morale was greatly shocked. Tian Kai snorted, and immediately sent two generals out one after another, but nothing more than that, they were all killed by Wen Chou, and they didn't have any breath. Wen Chou was also impatient to kill at this time, and shouted to Tian Kai's army: "If they are all such vulnerable rice buckets, it is better to kill them together, and it will save General Ben from sending you to the West Heaven one by one!" ”

When he released this, he immediately annoyed a member of Kong Rong's side.

"Phew! This man is so arrogant! The man shouted, pulled his horse out, bowed his hand to Kong Rong, and said, "My lord, please let the last general fight the thief!" Kong Rong glanced up, it turned out to be Ai Jiang Zongbao, and he hesitated in his heart. Thinking about it, it is rare to have a few generals around him, and Zong Bao has a lot of time with him, and he is quite loyal to him, and he also values him very much. For example, he couldn't see the situation in front of him, this thief was so ugly, even Zong Bao was afraid that he was not his opponent, so he didn't want him to rush out and die. I wanted to refuse, but when I thought about it, Tian Kai's side lost several generals one after another, and if he didn't send a few meanings, it really couldn't be said. It's just that if he wants to release Zongbao, it's really not what he wants, but how can this be good?

Just when he hesitated, Zong Bao had already gone to war.

Zong Bao, as Kong Rong's favorite general, is used to being spoiled by Kong Rong, and he has a temper, where can he listen to the ugly and arrogant words below? Although he saw Wen Chou's awesomeness, and knew that this battle would be a life of nine deaths, and it would be impossible to escape his life, but at the same time, he was also very conceited about his own martial arts, and he didn't think that he could lose to Wen Chou. Yes, he couldn't wait for Kong Rong's to agree, put down a sentence, immediately pulled the horse and raised the gun, and ran directly to the past: "The thief will be rampant, and there is no one in Beihai to deceive me?" Your Grandpa Zongbao is here, so I want you to see your grandfather's ability! ”

Brush! Two shots intersected, two horses staggered, and one shot was fired each.

Wen Chou didn't feel anything about this shot, at most he felt that the guy in front of him was much better than the previous ones, his strength was not small, and his reaction was also sensitive, except for this. It was Zong Bao, although it was only one shot, but it was enough to shock him. Although he had already prepared for the enemy's shot just now, when he dealt with it with one shot, it was obvious that he was in a hurry, and he was almost swept off his horse by the enemy's gun. And after the two shots intersected, his tiger's mouth seemed to be shattered by the force of the opponent's gun, and his arm was also hit by the opponent's force, the shock was uncomfortable, and he was almost unstable, and the spear was about to fly away.

On his forehead, beads of sweat rolled down, pinching the arm of the gun, trembling slightly.

But Zong Bao did not admit defeat, nor was he discouraged, he immediately pulled the horse, shouted to kill, and looked at Wen Chou's side and rushed straight over. Wen Chou snorted, didn't say a word, waved his spear, and looked at Zong Bao's body with a lot of killing. Brush, brush, knock! The spear walked on it, the horses moved under the crotch, the two of them killed, blood and light rose everywhere, and the dust rose into the air, only to see that the eyes of others were confused, and in an instant, they were so nervous that their breathing was suffocated for a moment.

"Smack!" As soon as the shot started, blood flew, and the two people in the fight finally decided the winner after more than a dozen rounds.

Zong Bao, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, his hand stroked the wound on his shoulder, dragged the spear, dragged the horse backwards, and fled directly back to the main formation. Wen Chou put away the gun, and saw that the morale of the thief had almost collapsed, he didn't say a word, he raised the spear again, pointed the tip of the gun forward, and roared out of his throat: "Kill!" ”

The killing word shook the heavens and the earth, and immediately caused countless people behind him to move.

"Not good!" At the moment when he saw Zong Bao vomiting blood, Kong Rong's heart tightened, and he instinctively took two steps forward, extremely concerned about Zong Bao's injury. However, what time is it now, Zong Bao's defeat, the morale of their side has fallen again, where is there still the effort to care about personal life and death. Tian Kai's face changed, and seeing that the thieves were about to wave their troops to attack after defeating Zongbao, he immediately ordered the left and right to engage in battle. Although many horses were killed, and then, at the moment of contact with the Wen Chou army, they were all defeated, obviously demoralized and unable to resist. Tian Kai knew that he would continue to fight again, but he was afraid that his side would suffer, so he immediately persuaded Kong Rong and said to Kong Rong: "The thieves are arrogant, we can return to the city for the time being and avoid the thieves!" ”

Kong Rong watched Zong Bao flee back to the formation, and his heart was a little relieved, and when he heard Tian Kai say it at this time, he was also moved. Looking up at the speed of the rout in front of him, he was also shocked, knowing that he couldn't resist it, he quickly nodded and agreed. He hurried back to the city, and had no time to contain the defeated soldiers outside the city, so he had to close the city gates, and keep all the others who had no time to enter the city alive. Those who were outside the gate could not enter the city pitifully, and they could not resist Wen Chou's soldiers when they turned back, so they could only scatter away. Some lucky escaped, and those who were lucky died directly under the blade of the thief's horseshoe.

Tian Kai entered the city, but he didn't have time to return to the county temple, so he immediately climbed the city tower with Kong Rong. Seeing that the thieves had reached the edge of the city, they immediately shouted and fired arrows left and right to suppress the momentum of the thieves. However, failure is already a doomed thing, and they can't admit it. Seeing his men and horses being chased and killed by thieves everywhere, but he was powerless to save them, Tian Kai swallowed angrily, gritted his teeth and smashed his fists, and there was a loud sound. Kong Rong stood beside him, shook his head again and again, closed his eyes and didn't dare to look again.

When the men and horses outside the city were completely killed, Wen Chou's side also gathered the soldiers and left the city ten miles away, and the city and outside were temporarily quiet.

Tian Kai and the others all returned to the county temple, bringing anger and frustration. Kong Rong was traumatized because of Zong Bao, so he inevitably had to ask the military doctor to bandage his wounds and rest well. On his side, after arranging Zong Bao, he also came to see Tian Kai. As soon as the two of them saw each other, they no longer had the original arrogance and self-confidence, and their faces were declining.

Kong Rong shook his head and said: "I thought that Yuan Shao had a Chen Ranzhi in his hands, but now it seems that I am underestimating him Yuan Shao." Yuan Shao has only sent a Wen Chou now, and he has led seven or eight thousand men and horses to defeat us in a big battle, how easy is it for us to deal with him? Tian Kai smiled reluctantly and said: "Maybe thieves are not terrible, but we are too careless, so we are the way of thieves." It seems that Wen Chou should not be underestimated, and we must deal with it carefully. Kong Rong nodded and said, "It seems that it can only be like this!" ”

After resting for a few days, Tian Kai and Kong Rong Kaicheng fought again with Wen Chou. This battle, although it was not as defeated last time, however, it was almost the same, anyway, it was defeated, and it was a big defeat. The thief is like a murderous machine, not afraid of death at all, and always rushes to the front. The general is not afraid of death, and the soldiers naturally have no bad seeds, and they follow one by one, and their morale is greatly boosted. In this way, Tian Kai's side will not be able to resist at all, and he will be defeated and retreated, if there is still a city behind him to enter, he is afraid that there will be no return.

Tian Kai was completely discouraged, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that there would be no good result.

Kong Rong also frowned bitterly on the side, and said: "The thief's momentum is too strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with, it seems that ...... Now we can only avoid its edge for the time being, and do not fight with thieves. Tian Kai sighed lightly, nodded and said, "If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that your morale will be completely lost." It's just that if I can't wait to fight, will the thieves wait? According to his posture, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for a day, and then he will inevitably cut down wood and build weapons, and have a hard battle with us. I'm not afraid of defending the city, but it's a pity that the city of Taixian where we are located is low, and it won't help me much to defend the city, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. Kong Rong hurriedly said: "Taixian County is not enough to defend, why don't I abandon Taixian County and return to Dongpingling?" The Dongpingling city has been repaired several times, and I think it is enough to defend itself. ”

Tian Kai listened, thought about it, and sighed lightly: "It seems that it can only be like this!" ”

They discussed it here, and they immediately went their separate ways. A day later, they quietly withdrew from Taixian County in the middle of the night and went directly to Dongpingling. However, Wen Chou didn't expect this, and he didn't let people be more vigilant in advance, and when he led the troops out the next day, he wanted to fight the thieves, but he was in vain. I didn't want the city gate to open first, the old man in the city took the young, opened the city and surrendered, and said that Tian Kai and others abandoned the city and left. Although Wen Chou had an empty city, he was really unhappy in his heart, and shouted: "I want him to empty the city!" Angry from the heart, he swung a shot and directly killed one person.

He killed nothing more than an unarmed citizen, and he was still an old man, and he was considered to be a great figure among the people. When he died, the people behind him were all frightened and walked around. Wen Chou saw it, and he didn't stop doing anything, and directly ordered the people and horses to kill the people, and the blood flowed everywhere. There were still some people in the city who were watching from the top of the city, and they were also scared to death when they saw Wen Chou's side committing murder. There were those who fled in all directions, and there were those who instinctively wanted to close the gates and keep the enemy out of the city.

Originally, after killing many people outside the city, Wen Chou's anger in his heart subsided slightly, and he had to take his men and horses to chase after him. It's just that he suddenly saw that the gate of Taixian County was closed, and he was angry from his heart, and immediately shouted at the soldiers to crash into the city. In this way, the people in the city panicked, and they didn't dare to resist, and ordered to go out from other portals, and when Wen Chou let people smash the Taixian County, the city was almost empty. Wen Chou gritted his teeth, did not do anything, let the soldiers plunder, and after the looting was gone, he let people set fire to the county town of Taixian and burned it, so he brought people to come immediately and chased after Dongpingling.

Pity the people of Taixian who hid out, they thought that there was no trace of them when the officers and soldiers entered the city, so they withdrew, but they didn't expect to set fire to them after leaving, so that they didn't even have their homes. Pity the crying, and I can't find anyone to cry.

Wen Chou's side came all the way and directly killed the city of Dongpingling. At this time, the head of Dongpingling City, full of guards, one step faster, Tian Kai and Kong Rong entered Dongpingling City, and urgently strengthened the city defense, gathered the men and horses near the left, and got 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, ready to continue to consume with Wenchou in Dongpingling.

Wen Chou was under the city, and he called for war for days, but he couldn't get the thief's acceptance, and his lungs were blown up. He rode his horse and looked up at the tall city wall of Dongpingling, his brows furrowed, and he sighed helplessly. If he fights hard with thieves in the field, he will not give in and will never back down. But if it's a siege battle, it's really not his forte, and he doesn't have so many troops to spend on it. But the thief never took the battle, and he could not continue to consume. I couldn't wait, so I had to bite the bullet and call people to cut down trees and prepare siege equipment.

A few days later, Wen Chou personally commanded in front, and the well and the ladder were all pushed up, and the assault began. I thought that with the tall walls of Dongpingling, there must be no cheap bargain on his side, and it would be difficult to break through the city. And even on Tian Kai's side, he sneered at the thief's move and was sluggish in responding, thinking that the strength of Pingling in the east could completely block the enemy. It's just that the result not only surprised Wen Chou, but also surprised Tian Kai and Kong Rong.

When Wen Chou's side attacked, Tian Kai's side defended the city with a look of timidity, most of them had seen Wen Chou's majesty in killing several people in Taixian County, even if they returned to Dongpingling, they had always had lingering fears about Wen Chou. Now, Wen Chou once again rushed to the city of Dongpingling, and was ready to attack, their hearts shrank suddenly again at that moment, and their courage dissipated.

This subtle change was also immediately caught by Wen Chou, who was overjoyed, and hurriedly urged the people behind him to reinforce the front. However, after half a day's effort, one side was broken through and killed on the city wall by Wen Chou's people, and his morale was greatly boosted. When Tian Kai saw it, he didn't dare to hesitate, and personally led the men and horses to kill him, so as to extinguish the spark and knock down the thief ladder. The morale of Tian Kai's side recovered slightly, and Wen Chou saw that there was no longer any advantage to take advantage of, and the siege men and horses suffered heavy losses, so they had to withdraw their troops and retreat.

Tian Kai, who was standing on the city tower, thought of the previous scene, and felt a chill in his heart.

He returned to the county temple and discussed with Kong Rong: "I thought that with the tall walls of Dongpingling and the soldiers and horses several times the enemy, I could completely hold this city and wait for the enemy to change. But today's situation seems that my soldiers and horses have lost all the morale of a soldier in Tai County, and they have not recovered so far, how can they fight? If I hadn't personally led the team today, I would have boosted my morale a little, but I was afraid that the thieves would have attacked my city in one fell swoop. If this spreads, won't it make outsiders laugh at it? Hey, what should we do in such a situation? is guarded, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist; If we retreat, where should we retreat? ”

Dongpingling is already their last bottom line, if they can't hold it here, they will lose Jinan. Losing the Kingdom of Jinan, the Kingdom of Qi and Beihai in their rear were exposed under the noses of the thieves at the same time, which was a situation they did not want to see. They started an incident this time, and they swallowed Qingzhou wholeheartedly, how could they fall so much, and they couldn't get over anything. Kong Rong is not, of course he is not willing to withdraw, but he has also seen the situation today, the men and horses on his side cannot be used at all, how to retreat from the enemy?

The two frowned bitterly, and they couldn't come up with a reason, so they went everywhere and dispersed.

Tian Kai thought about today's situation, he was not at ease, he went back to the barracks to rest, and wanted to sit in charge in person, and Ming'er cheered them up. Only he couldn't sleep, he was reading with a bamboo slip at night, and he didn't know how much time had passed, when he suddenly tilted his head and dozed off with the bamboo slip on his pillow. In his sleep, all kinds of dreams came one after another, and it was when he was dreaming deeply, that suddenly there was a scream in his ears, as if someone was saying that he was walking in the water, and he was still asking himself. I didn't know why, I was suddenly pushed to wake up, and when I looked up, I saw the fire outside the tent, which was not terrifying.

"What's going on here?"

The soldier hurriedly said to Tian Kai: "My lord, it's a water!" ”

Oh, it turned out that I wasn't dreaming just now, I really walked into the water. Tian Kai hurriedly got up and opened the tent, only to see the fire rising in the distance, as if several tents were burning. It's just that a few tents have been burned, and naturally someone will come to the rescue, but the screams are very piercing, what's going on? Zhang Er listened carefully, only to hear the sound of shouting, and even mixed with the sound of soldiers fighting each other, it was so uncomfortable to hear people's ears.

At this point, Tian Kai's face changed, and he was shocked: "Oh, it turned out that it was not a simple water walk, it was a bombing camp!" "It's not a trivial matter for soldiers to suddenly bomb the camp, and if you don't get a spark to burn all over the camp, the consequences are unimaginable. In fact, he didn't need to ask to know that the sudden bombing of the camp by these soldiers was believed to be related to today's war. Most of them should have maintained a worried attitude towards the current war situation, fearing that if Wen Chou entered the city, they would die, and they were terrified. At this time, as long as one or two people with different intentions are fanning the flames, it is not difficult to arouse their panic and anxiety, and even take risks and set fire to the camp. And when they were doing these things, they deliberately bumped their blades and shouted, in order to confuse the hearts of others, thinking that they were all the opposite, so that they could escape in the confusion.

As soon as Tian Kai thought of this, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the place where the fire started with his henchmen, extinguished it, and killed all those who shouted and deliberately made trouble. In this way, Fang slightly suppressed the other soldiers who were about to move, and quelled the unrest. Although it was said that the matter was in the past, the more Tian Kai thought about it, the more scared he became, and when he told Kong Rong about it the next day, Kong Rong couldn't sit still.

"Morale is gone, people's hearts are uneasy, how to be good?" Kong Rong sighed and looked at Tian Kai: "I think that although the sudden bombing of the camp last night was suppressed by you in time, Lord Tian, however, if you can't remedy it in time and make everyone feel at ease, there will be this first time, but I am afraid that there will be a second ......."

"Remedy? How can it be remedied? As soon as Tian Kai asked, he immediately dumbfounded Kong Rong. It is really not his forte to let him do such a thing as learning and boosting morale, so he had to turn his attention back to Tian Kai again. Tian Kai shook his head and said: "If you want to boost morale, I'm afraid that things that are not just talking about things need to be fought in a tough battle." It's just that the situation is ...... right now Hey, it's really not good for us. Come to think of it, in order to avoid our own shortcomings, we have already reined in our men and horses to enter the city and no longer fight the thieves, but what is the result? In the end, thousands of thieves almost broke through the defense line of our Dongpingling. Hey, it seems that my morale is no longer available, if I continue to force it, once I mutiny, I will have no place to die! ”

Kong Rong also frowned when he heard this, and he couldn't come up with a better way.

Although the two of them planned to withdraw from the army, they were just talking, after all, once they really retreated, they were afraid that it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath, so they hesitated again and again and delayed. This delay went for more than ten days in the blink of an eye. In the past ten days, there has been no movement in the city. Although it is said that Wen Chou almost killed the thief city with a strong attack at the beginning, he was finally killed, and he also lost thousands of men and horses. These thousands of people are not a small number for Wen Chou, and they are also distressed to death. He is left and right, it is not impossible to storm Dongpingling, but he has too few men and horses, if there is no foreign aid, he is not afraid that he will not be able to take Dongpingling.

Wen Chou thought about it like this, and immediately contacted Yuan Tan behind him. There are still thousands of people in Yuan Tan City, how can they not be transferred to support this side, and it will be a waste to put them in the back. Wen Chou unceremoniously wrote a letter, sent someone back, and borrowed troops from Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan said that there were about 3,000 people left in his hands, and because he had killed the yellow scarves, he took the opportunity to expand a little, and now he also had five or six thousand in his hands. Of course, it is comfortable for him to carry the people in his own hands, but if he gives them to others, it is not something he can control. Of course, Wen Chou asked him for troops, but he didn't want to give it, in the end, he handed over the two or three thousand men and horses that had been newly recruited, and asked them to rush to Dongpingling to assist Wen Chou.

Wen Chou waited for so many days, but he didn't expect that all he was waiting for were recruits, who had no combat power, and there was only so little, not enough for him to stuff his teeth, it was really unpleasant. However, he also knew that Yuan Tan didn't have many people around him, and it was already good for him to be able to free up these, and he should be content. After preparing these days, Wen Chou is also full of energy, ready to carry out an all-out attack on Dongpingling, and must take it down in one fell swoop.

Wen Chou's lack of action these days does not mean that Tian Kai and Kong Rong in the city are relieved. On the contrary, his calmness made the two of them even more uneasy.

"On the eve of the storm...... It's always so quiet. ”

Standing on the city tower, Kong Rong said to Tian Kai. Tian Kai glanced at the city worriedly, nodded and said: "Who said no, he has been quiet for so many days, and there is no movement at all on the outside, but I am afraid that he is secretly transporting troops and horses, and is ready to take down my Dongping Tomb in one go!" Kong Rong frowned, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw movement in the city, he looked at Tian Kai in surprise and asked him, "Who is that?" ”

Outside the city, a horse came running, seemingly trying to get close to the gate of Dongpingling. However, the Wen Chou men and horses on the periphery, after their patrols discovered this movement, also immediately killed a lot of people from several directions, scolded him again and again, and prepared to stop him. However, the people immediately turned a deaf ear to the scolding, and still looked at the city selflessly. His actions immediately aroused the anger of the men and horses, and they pulled their bows and arrows one after another, and shot towards the horses and men.

The men were still running forward, and for the arrows that were shot, he dodged left and right on the horse's back, and even hung on the horse's belly, dodging one by one.

"Come and don't go, it's indecent!" Immediately, the man stretched out his hand, and pulled two or three arrows from the enemy in a row, and pulled a bow next to the saddle, and put these two and three arrows together. On horseback, non-stop, he suddenly turned around, bent the bowstring in his hand, and shot at the pursuers in the rear.

Three arrows, like beads, immediately looked at the pursuer and shot them in the chest. Although these three arrows are on one bow, it is strange to say, the three arrows, suddenly, burst out in a row, killing three people. The three of them blindly met them, but they didn't have time to dodge at all, and when they hit the arrow, they screamed miserably, and immediately rolled off their horses. His shot really frightened the others who caught up, and instinctively dropped the horse slightly. And at this moment, the people who were running in front of them also immediately seized the opportunity to gallop quickly, and pulled down a distance from them.

Kong Rong's eyes at the head of the city were not good, and he was far away, so he didn't see the person clearly for a while, so he asked Tian Kai. Tian Kai looked at it blankly for a moment, but he didn't recognize the person, but just shook his head. But Kong Rong saw it really at this time, excited his body, and urged again and again: "Hurry, quickly put down the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome people into the city!" ”

Although Tian Kai was puzzled by Kong Rong's actions, when he heard him say this, he must have recognized this person, so he didn't say anything more, and immediately ordered the left and right to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate. The present situation does not allow them to hesitate a little, and if they delay, they will all run to the city gate, and before the city gate is opened, the pursuers from the rear will come again, and it will be troublesome. The man under the city wanted to call the city while running, but when he raised his eyes and saw that the drawbridge had moved, his heart relaxed, and he looked forward desperately and pulled his horse away.

His horse, seeing that it was almost in front of the city gate, but the drawbridge was still halfway down, and he was really anxious. After waiting for an instant, his people saw that the pursuers behind him were about to kill, and they were not far away, and they were afraid that they couldn't wait until the drawbridge was completely torn off before entering the city. He pulled the horse, stepped back, and suddenly scolded, slapped the horse's buttocks, took the reins in his hand, and drove the horse forward. The horse neighed under his crotch, lifted its hooves, and galloped away. Like flowing water, he directly crossed the suspension bridge that had not yet been pulled to the end, and flashed over as soon as he jumped up. And just at the right time, the thief's pursuers had arrived, and they were about to catch up, when he suddenly crossed the suspension bridge, and they all shouted in discouragement.

There is such an ignorant person, who also learns from others, pulls the horse backwards, and pats the horse to rush the bridge. However, I don't know if the horse is useless, or if he is not at home with the ability to control the horse, in the end, the horse did not take him across the drawbridge, but knocked him into the heavy planks of the drawbridge, and directly bounced to the side, and the man and the horse fell into the moat. In the city, Kong Rong saw that his people had crossed the drawbridge, and the pursuers arrived again, so he hurriedly shouted left and right and hurriedly pulled up the drawbridge, and let people release arrows at the head of the city to force those pursuers to retreat. The number of these pursuers was only a few dozen, and of course they couldn't break through, seeing that they couldn't cross the moat and there were flying arrows on their heads, they didn't dare to delay, so they quickly retreated, roared, and quickly withdrew.

Tian Kai saw the scene in the city, and saw that everyone had retreated, so he let out a long breath, and at the same time expressed surprise at the performance of the person just now, and asked Kong Rong in surprise: "Master Kong, who was that person just now, how did he have such ability, do you know him?" ”

Kong Rong laughed, very proud, and said, "Speaking of which, this person is still my old friend." When I was trapped in Duchang City, he helped me get out of the siege alone and went to the plains to rescue the soldiers. It's just that I Kong Rong looked away for a while, and mistakenly thought that Liu Xuande was a person of faith, so I asked him for help, but I didn't expect that he not only didn't come in the end, but also harmed others. Fortunately, they made a mistake, and in the end they didn't want to invite Chen Ranzhi, so they relieved the siege of Duchang......"

Speaking of this, he smiled again, "Don't say it, Lord Tian will go down with me, and I will introduce him to you, Lord Tian." ”
