~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kong Rong didn't expect that a premeditated breakthrough battle would turn into a tragic siege battle.

At the beginning of the battle, Kong Da Ming left the South Gate Tower as soon as possible, hurriedly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, held the scriptures, and began to ...... Study.

That's right, Confucius began to read. There is a war outside, and he is holding a roll and groaning, which is the "demeanor of a celebrity".

In history, Kong Rong's demeanor as a celebrity was maintained until the first year of Jian'an (196). This year, he was besieged by the enemy again, and this time the opponent was far from being comparable to the rabble of the Yellow Turbans in the past - defeated Youzhou Tian Kai and replaced him with the new Qingzhou Thorn History, Yuan Tan!

At that time, when the battle inside and outside Duchang City was so fierce that there were only a few hundred defenders left, what Confucius did was not to motivate the soldiers, not to personally put on the battle, not to think hard about the plan to retreat from the enemy, but to ...... Study. And when Yuan Tan broke through Duchang, Kong Da Mingshi floated away and successfully escaped. It sounds a little free, and it doesn't seem to be falling apart, but, but, but...... His wife and children were all taken captive by Yuan Tan!

He couldn't even keep his family, he didn't even make any retreat arrangements, and he abandoned his wife and children when disaster came, and ran away in a hurry - this is really pretending to be a fool!

Kong Rong didn't care about defending the city, it wasn't that he trusted Tai Shici and entrusted him with the matter of defending the city. Rather, he had someone worthy of trust, the sword scribe who was always by his side.

This person. It's a secret order, Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu. The word Shuzhi, a native of Yingling, Beihai County, was filial piety and honesty to Kong Rong, and he was the first to serve as a high-ranking order, arresting the local Haoqiang Sun clan and deterring the strong. Later, for the Jiaodong order, he personally led his entourage to ride into the camp and moat, and refused to obey the dispatch of the government's dispatch to the home of the powerful Gong Shalu, and killed the Gong Shalu brothers. It can be called a strong nemesis. Every time Kong Rong is in danger, even if Wang Xiu rests and recuperates at home, there is no one who does not arrive immediately, Kong Rong often relies on Wang Xiu to avoid disasters. The siege of the Yellow Turban this time is the most critical since Kong Rong became the minister of Beihai, and Wang Xiu will naturally not be absent.

Wang Xiu is a standard scholar of the heroic Han Dynasty, who is brave and knowledgeable. Even Yuan Shao heard of his name and wanted to recruit him to engage in governance. This is the treatment that only a first-class strategist can have, which is very rare for Yuan Shao, who is full of strategists.

Wang Xiu was most trusted by Kong Rong at this time and served as the defensive commander of Duchang. The Yellow Turban besieged the city for more than a month, and attacked many times, all of which he commanded properly. The defense is successful, so that the management of Hai is useless. There is such a right-hand man. Of course, Kong Rong has to be the shopkeeper.

At this moment, this Wang Xiu, who reassured Kong Rong. Facing the surging yellow turban thieves under the city, he turned his head to stare at the horse who had just withdrawn to the city, and only asked one sentence: "Why do you want to let Guan Hai go?" ”

Ma Han said lightly: "Because I am not sure that I can capture him alive without harming him." ”

Ma Han is telling the truth, because the lethality of the Demon Pupil Bow is too strong, no matter if you shoot at that part, you will either die or be disabled, and it will be difficult to get lightly injured. And if you give up shooting, it is extremely risky to capture their leader in front of the five hundred thieves who are surging forward.

"But you can shoot him! In this way, the thief will be defeated. Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows in anger and held the hilt of his sword in his hand.

Ma Han didn't seem to see Wang Xiu's actions, and frowned: "What if it collapses?" What will Zhang Hai and Li Hai wait for next time, gather them together again, and have another siege of Beihai? ”

Wang Xiu was stunned, his angry expression slowly receded, his hand slowly loosened the hilt of his sword, and he looked directly at Ma Han and said, "But what is the strategy of the captain to draw salary?" ”

Ma Han smiled and pointed to the city: "The top priority is to defeat these crazy Yellow Turban thieves, and the rest of the things will be discussed later." ”

Wang Xiu glanced at the crowd of people like ants, and sneered: "The ears of the rabble, and look at the cultivation." ”

Under the city wall, the yellow turban thieves who are like flies without a head, the only siege equipment is only more than ten long ladders tied together, and the only technical content is that two iron hooks stretch out from the top of the ladder, which can hook the city wall when they are on the city head, and it is not easy to be overturned.

The ten wolf-tooth flying horsemen behind him were the first time to see so many people attacking the city, and their hearts were inevitably nervous, and even their hands and feet trembled slightly.

Ma Han and Tai Shici regarded it as if they were idle. How did Tai Shici's courage come about, Ma Han didn't know, as for himself? Hum! The Xianbei and Karasuma coalition forces that had faced the most ferocious of the four thousand had resisted stubbornly, and what were these rabble in front of them.

Under the south gate, the Yellow Turban thieves attacked like a tide. They set up long ladders over the moat, laid planks and swarmed across. Then more than a dozen long ladders were erected on the city wall, several people were fixed on the escalators, and the rest of the people flew up.

Wang Xiu pressed the sword and did not move, ignoring the anxious eyes around him, until the Yellow Turban Thief crowded under the base of the city wall, he slowly drew his sword, the edge reflected the sun, dazzling, and slashed downward, the voice was as cold as the sword light: "Kill the thief!" ”

The sword and axe hand, who had already gathered momentum, slashed violently, and the ropes that bound the huge logs on the head of the city broke, booming, and the thick rolling logs bounced high and smashed down. Where the giant trees rolled, the ladders were broken, people fell, and the boards were broken, and the people were all minced meat, and the ladder bridge that was originally built on the moat was also broken, and the Yellow Turban thieves were cut in two by a moat. Those who haven't had time to cross the river are considered fateful, and those who have already crossed the river, even if they are not stoned to death by rolling logs for a while, they can't advance or retreat, and they are in a desperate situation, and sooner or later they will be killed by random arrows.

The yellow turban thieves who had broken off their retreats, everyone showed despair, threw down the bamboo guns and wooden shields in their hands one by one, knelt on the bloody ground, and shouted and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Wang Xiu leaned against the wall and stared coldly, and his reply was to point at the long sword in his hand.

Nearly 100 archers leaned out, and the arrows reflected the sun, converging into a cold patch.

Snort! Random arrows rained down, screams were like weeping, and under the city walls, blood mist was filled.

The bloody nose is flushed, the flesh and blood are blurred, and the moat is dyed for a while. In just half an hour, at least three or four hundred Yellow Turban thieves were killed. One moment, it is still a living person, and the next moment, it becomes a meatloaf or a porcupine. War, such cruelty, human life, is so cheap.

The faces of the ten wolf-tooth flying riders were as cold as iron, and their hearts fluctuated, and they couldn't help but think of themselves. If they hadn't been taken captive outside the fortress, if they hadn't been rescued by the city guards, how much better would their fate be than the lives of these ants?

The siege of the Yellow Turban Thieves was just a vent, a blind move of the anger of the leader Qu Shuai. With such rudimentary siege equipment, let alone taking Duchang, it is impossible to even climb to the top of the city. The tragic casualties are like a basin of cold water, pouring Guan Hai's almost exploding nerves to cool down, and he regrets it deeply, and he will not raise the army with anger!

"Withdraw!" Guan Hai gave the order weakly.

The gongs sounded, the flags of the battalions danced, and the yellow turban thieves, who had already been frightened, retreated like a tide.

Wang Xiu's sword was returned to the sheath, glanced at Ma Han and Tai Shici, and sighed: "It's a pity that the king is strictly ordered, only allowed to strictly guard, not to attack." At this time, if there is a brave general who leads hundreds of soldiers out of the city to assault, the thieves will be defeated and the siege will be solved. But ......"

Wang Xiu is indeed helpless, Beihai is prosperous in literature, there are many celebrities, but there is a shortage of generals, so that there are few available generals under the king. finally had a Tai Shi Ci, but he was born in a poor family...... As for this Ma Jinglong, although he is a cavalry captain, his background is even worse than that of Taishi, so that you don't have to think about it, and you won't let his generals at all.

Ma Han and Tai Shi Ci glanced at each other, smiled indifferently, and waved their hands: "Release the eagle!" ”

The eagle slave who had been prepared for a long time raised his arms when he heard the sound, the eagle spread its wings, and the eagle soared into the sky.

In less than a moment, smoke and dust billowed from the north, and iron hooves were like thunder. In the stunned eyes of the Beihai County soldiers and the Yellow Turban Thieves, one hundred and seventy wolf fangs flew and killed!
