Chapter 145: Guangling Catastrophe

(Thank you for your support.) )

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

In April of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the second time, and his excuse was as Ma Han expected, directly pointing to Xuzhou Mu Taoqian as the murderer behind the murder of his father, nephew and more than 50 clansmen. Poor Zhang Min was also used before he was torn apart.

On the third day of the fourth month, Cao Cao swore an oath in Puyang, Dongjun, and sacrificed the flag with the heads of more than 80 murderers such as Zhang Min, and the whole army rode 30,000 paces to the east. At the same time, Cao Ren's other troops, who had been serving as a strong soldier in the city, once again acted as the vanguard, preemptively attacking Xiaopei in Yuzhou, and approaching Surabaya.

For a time, Pengcheng east of Surabaya was in turmoil. Half a year ago, the tragic scene of Cao's army slaughtering the city is still vivid, and at this moment the demon king is coming again, the soldiers and civilians of Pengcheng are all broken, and a large number of soldiers and people abscond every day, and finally even the guards ran away.

At this time, Chen Qi and his son, who went to Xiaopei and Pengcheng, met at their meeting, and immediately made a decision, took over the command of Pengcheng's army, organized the army to deploy defenses along the river, and stopped Cao Ren from crossing the river. At this time, it rained heavily for several days, the river was full of water, and the water was steep and urgent, and Cao Jun could not cross the river in time, which made Chen Qi and his son seize the time for emergency defense.

Although Cao's army did not cross Surabaya, the bad news of the invasion spread like a plague, and the whole of Xuzhou was like an earthquake, and it was in turmoil. Discoloration up and down.

Some people fought the front line, and others took the opportunity to anoint the soles of their feet.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, Xiapi Xiangrong took 3,000 steps to coerce more than 10,000 male and female monks and nuns in the county, 3,000 cattle, horses, mules and sheep, and hundreds of wealthy vehicles, and fled to Guangling along the land and water.

When Ma Han just boarded the ship from the north gate of Huaiyin and left, the Rong Rong Department also entered through the west gate, and the news of Cao's army entering the Kou also exploded in Guangling.

Ma Han didn't expect it at all. Cao Cao entered the Kou again so quickly. Otherwise, he would never have left at this time. If he has returned to Liaoxi, it would be fine, since he has not even walked out of the Xuzhou boundary, then there is nothing to say - go back. Converge with Zhao Yun's other departments, backed by Mi's money and grain. Sit and watch the situation in Xuzhou.

Fish can only be touched by muddy water. There are sandpipers and mussels fighting. Only then can the fisherman profit.

Ma Han's fleet had arrived in Huaipu at this time, and it would take at least half a day to return to Huaiyin. At this time, it is already the beginning of Shen Shi (four o'clock in the afternoon), if you set off immediately, it is late when you arrive in Huaiyin, and you will sail at night, which is inconvenient. Ma Han decided to temporarily anchor in Huaipu and return early the next morning.

However, Ma Han never expected that it was because of this night's delay that he missed the opportunity to prevent a catastrophe.

……

Zhen Rong led the crowd into Huaiyin, and was warmly received by Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling, and set up a grand banquet to entertain Zhen Rong and his subordinates.

The destination of Zhenrong's southward journey this time is not Guangling, after all, this is still the boundary of Xuzhou, which is too unsafe. He planned to go south to Moling and defect to his old friend Pengcheng Xiangxuli, and Guangling was just a transit. But when Zhenrong, the most notorious transit jackal of the Three Kingdoms period, broke into Guangling, where the people were rich and rich, they were all sliding in a terrible direction......

When the wine was hot, the generals under Zhenrong kept whispering, and their eyes frequently aimed at the dignitaries and nobles at the banquet, as well as the dancing girls wearing Qiluo and dancing during the banquet. Fine wine, rich people, women, everything that provokes the primitive desires of human beings all begin to ferment under the stimulation of alcohol.

Zhenrong and Tao Qian are both township parties, both Danyang people, born in the market, gathered hundreds of people in the troubled times, and defected to Tao Qian, so they were able to confer the title of Pi Xiang. Among Zhenrong's cronies, most of them are scoundrels in the market, and they are desperate. And many of his guards are bought Shanyue slaves, all of whom are brave and ruthless. In the eyes of these people, they can't see yellow and white things, red faces and beautiful women.

Zhao Yu didn't know that he had lured the wolf into the room.

The subordinates took the opportunity of the toast to keep whispering to Zhenrong, and Zhenrong's eyes began to redden, driven by alcohol and greed......

That night, Zhen Rong personally came to the door and invited Zhao Yu and a group of officials and wealthy businessmen to a banquet, while he secretly arranged ambushes. After Qiē was ready, Zhen Rong took the opportunity of toasting and suddenly made a surprise move, drawing his knife and killing Zhao Yu. Immediately, the ambush soldiers came out in all directions, the swords and halberds were all down, and for a time the screams came one after another, blood flowed all over the ground, and there were officials fleeing for their lives with their heads in their hands.

Di Rong held a big knife in his hand, murderous, and rushed into the Taishou Mansion first, and washed the official temple in blood. The first rays of fire in the Aether Guard Mansion began, and thousands of soldiers frantically burned and looted, half of the city was bloody, and half of the city was fire. Huaiyin City fell into a bloody terror......

As soon as the slaughter began, Ma Qi, who had developed an unusual alertness for the enslaved sheep herding all year round, jumped up from the couch.

Ma Qi is one of the four guards left by Ma Han to protect Ganmei, and he is also one of the two white wolf warriors. Ma Qi didn't have this name, and he didn't have a name, only an insulting code name "Sheep Testicles". He is the product of the Karasuma people after humiliating the Han female slaves, and people like him will produce a lot in Mobei every year, and more than seventy percent of them will die due to the harsh environment soon after they landed. Of the 30% who survive, at least 20% do not survive adulthood.

The sheep testicles are cheap and hard, and he has become the lucky one. But before he was twenty years old, he lived no better than the sheep he grazed every day. He eats dog food, sleeps in a sheepfold, and has only eaten sheep bones three times in his fifteen years of shepherding. If it weren't for the appearance of a person, he might have been so confused, and he would have become a zombie in the sheepfold one day.

This man, nay, to him, is no longer a mortal, but a god! The spiritual leader of the Hango tribe - Ma Han!

He was one of the first Han slaves to be rescued, and because he had no name, he took the surname of his subordinates like other Han slaves who were in the same situation, and each took the surname of Ma. From then on, the "sheep testicles" will become history, and he will be abandoned.

When the White Wolf Cavalry was still known as the Hango Cavalry, Ma Qi was one of them, but due to lack of nutrition, his physique was not strong enough, and he lacked the opportunity to contact cavalry and shooting, and all indicators were not qualified. Therefore, Ma Qi did not become a regular cavalryman. Rather, it is a reserve of cavalry.

In the past two years, Ma Qi has participated in all the battles from the rise of the Hange tribe to the prosperity of White Wolf City, and gradually grew into a qualified warrior. At the same time, he was loyal to their city guards and respected them like gods.

Among the 200 white wolf horsemen accompanying him this time, Ma Qi belonged to light cavalry, that is, he was not outstanding in cavalry and strength, but when necessary, he could be used as a bow and cavalry to gallop and a heavy cavalry to charge. This is the White Wolf Hussar.

He was left behind by Ma Han. One is cleverness, and the other is loyalty. Among the four people left behind, he was the leader, and his military rank was the commander.

After Zhen Rong led his army into the city. Ma Qi got the news that Cao's army had entered Kou Xuzhou. Be aware of the importance of this news. Immediately send a White Wolf Rider Brother. Take his horses, ride in two, and chase the fleet of the city defenders.

It's night. When the first ray of fire pierced the darkness and the light entered through the window, Ma Qi was startled. Immediately wrapped in a green scarf, dressed in a military robe, wearing half a body of leather armor, holding a hard bow with one stone and two buckets, wearing a knife and a short axe at the waist, and carrying a sprinkle with twenty arrows - this is the basic equipment of the white wolf light cavalry.

In fact, the regular white wolf light horse is also equipped with two spears and four throwing spears. However, because it is in the city, it is inconvenient to carry, so it is not equipped. If it is a white wolf archer, it has two bows at one rate, and the number of arrows in ordinary bows and pulley bows is twice as many as that of ordinary light horses. Ma Qi is only a light cavalry, so his bow is just a normal standard.

When Ma Qi, dressed in draped clothes, rushed out of the house, two boat soldiers also rushed out with knives.

Ma Qi's skills may not be ranked among the white wolf horsemen, but he is definitely rich enough in battle, he immediately commanded two Lou boat soldiers to run to Gan's house, guarding the front and back doors of Gan's house respectively, and Ma Qi himself climbed over the courtyard wall of the opposite neighbor, and then jumped on the roof, crouching with a bow.

In the darkness, there were shouts of killing everywhere, clusters of flames could be seen rising from time to time, and the night wind blew sharply, sending bursts of choking smoke.

The situation was unclear, Ma Qi did not dare to move, and his anxious eyes glanced back and forth between the door of Gan's house and the black and dark laneway from time to time.

At this time, many residents were already alarmed and panicked, and every household opened the door and ran out, soon bringing back the news of the rebellion and the suffering of Taishou.

Gan's father and his people also panicked, hurriedly packed up their softness, grabbed the door and ran out of the door, and ran towards the city gate with the crowd.

"Captain Wu, how can you be born?" The two boatmen ran to the base of the wall to ask for instructions.

Ma Qi gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Don't care about others, just keep an eye on the little lady of the Gan family." You follow behind, and I go up and keep an eye on you. Fast! ”

Ma Qi's so-called high place is to follow the rows of rooftops, condescendingly staring, so that it is not easy to lose. Fortunately, since the end of the Han Dynasty, Huaiyin has basically not suffered from war, and the residents are generally well-off.

As soon as the chaotic flow of people poured out of the alley, the fire was bright, the blades flashed, and the roar of monsters resounded throughout the city like the roar of a night beast.

The rebels attacked, and the flow of people exploded in an uproar, like a scoop of cold water poured into the bottom of a hot pot, splashing not steam, but steaming blood.

The sound of shouting and killing, screaming, cracking silk, the sound of sharp knives entering the flesh and removing the bones, filling the ears and filling the brain, buzzing and echoing, making people lose their souls.

Gan Mei was knocked to the ground in the chaos, and the cage in his hand was thrown somewhere, and in the blink of an eye, his father and brother were gone. As far as the eye can see, there is no one who knows each other. Ganmei was squeezed into the corner of the wall, the hairpin was messy, and the flowers were discolored. At this moment, it was strange that what she was thinking of was not her father and brother, but the person who had scared Cao Jun back with one arrow and saved thousands of lives. If he were here, would he still suffer like this? If he were here, would the people of this city still be slaughtered like this?

Bones! A round thing rolled at Ganmei's feet, and the fire was extinguished, reflecting a grinning head, this human head was so familiar...... It's his own uncle!

"Ahh Gan Mei covered her mouth, tears rolling down.

There was a sudden fire in front of her, as if a group of people with sharp weapons surrounded her, and the scorching light made her unable to open her eyes, and she only heard a strange tone that made her despair:

"This little lady is so white!"

"What a little beauty, a few miles more beautiful than the concubine of Zhao Taishou that we played!"

"I won't steal anything from you, just this little beauty......"

"! Those who see it have a share, let Lao Tzu play first! ”

In the midst of lewd laughter, Gan Mei Dan felt a hand touch his arm......

"Ahh Gan Mei let out a scream.

"Whew!" A long arrow was suddenly stuck in the side of the neck of the rebel who had just touched Ganmei, and his tail feathers trembled.

Boom! The soldier stumbled and his torches fell to the ground, reflecting the wound in his neck. A wisp of blood flowed out, dripping dust.

It was the first drop of blood shed by the rebels tonight. (To be continued......)
