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

At this time, the surrounding area of Anhui City has been all controlled by the thieves, and there are more than ten patrols alone, so as soon as Niu Jin's group of patrols had an accident, Lei Bo quickly learned about it. This is a terrible time, killing a team of their own patrolmen, which is itself a provocation; Even Niu Jin, a henchman who was once his personal guard, died unexpectedly, which was even more of a slap in the face. If Lei Bo is indifferent and doesn't react, then he won't be called a thief.

Retaliation came very quickly.

A moment later, Ma Han led Chen Zhi and more than 20 others to follow Liu Ye to the south gate. This is the main gate of Qiao's dock wall, and it is also the place where the thieves are arrayed and fighting.

Liu Ye was entrusted by Gong Qiao to command all the armed forces of Qiao's dock to resist thieves. However, now that there is Ma Han, the "generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses", Liu Ye is also happy to be the shopkeeper. Of course, on the surface, it is still Liu Ye commanding, and Ma Han is hidden behind the scenes.

Ma Han first had to confirm who the chief general of the Lishan Bandit was, and the reply he got was Lei Bo's lieutenant Le.

Isn't it Lei Bo? It's a pity. If Lei Bo really comes, Ma Han doesn't mind being a sniper, looking for favorable terrain, and sniping him as much as possible.

Then, to find out how many thieves are coming? How many are the main pawns? How many assistants? How is the equipment? Whether there are siege equipment and so on. To find out this information, the seasoned dragon wolf knight is more competent than any ranger.

At that moment, Liu Ye sent two dock dings to lead three dragon wolf horsemen to reconnoitre.

Other information should be close to observation, only in terms of the number of people, with the experience of Ma Han and others, a few glances can be estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten. There were indeed quite a few thieves, no less than 2,000 people, but look at the formation. The platoon was a bit chaotic, and there was a distinct lack of a military spirit of slaughter.

Chen looked at it and said with great confidence: "This kind of thieves don't need a large army, if our three boats and men are all together, we can break them with two hundred sharp soldiers." ”

Ma Han pointed to the thief army: "Le is in a neat array of guards, and there is a hidden murderous aura, that is the elite of the thief army." If the thief army attacks, you don't have to worry about it, and the dock will keep you away. If this team plays. Shoot at it. ”

At this time, the thief army came running from afar, stopped at the place of a stone's throw, and shouted at the head of the city: "My governor will have an order to quickly release our captured brother and hand over the villain who slaughtered my brother for no reason, but Paul and others have nothing to do." Dare to say half a word, the army will break the city, and kill a chicken and dog without leaving behind. ”

Ma Han raised his hand and pointed, and Gu Qi, who had been aiming early, loosened his hand. Laugh at! An arrow swept through the air, and under the astonished gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, it flew a hundred paces, piercing the thief's forehead from the diagonal upward.

The thief pounced. The city cheered with joy, and the thieves were all shocked. I didn't expect that I was already standing a hundred steps away, and I couldn't hide from it...... When did this Qiao's Dock Wall have such a marksman?

Liu Ye twisted his beard and smiled. At this time, an untimely voice came: "The two armies are fighting, and they will not be killed." Such an act is despicable. ”

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin face. The cheekbones are prominent, he has a goatee, and his thin eyes are full of disdain.

Ma Han remembers that the last time he saw such a vision was during his trip to Xuzhou six or seven years ago, and since then, no one dares to look at himself with such eyes for so many years. Unexpectedly, once hiding his name and hiding his name, he actually encountered such an S ......

As a foreigner, and Guchi, who was born as a pariah, has long been accustomed to all kinds of cold eyes, and it doesn't matter if others look down on him, anyway, the general can afford it.

Well, the reason why this thing has such a high-level attitude is because he is one of Qiao's elders, Qiao Gongzhi's younger brother Qiao Pet. This Qiao pet, who once followed his brother and Yuan Shu's general Qiao (Qiao) Rui, was engaged in the army and had some experience in the army. Before Qiao Gong invited Liu Ye, he commanded the matter of rejecting the thief. After Liu Ye arrived, Qiao Pet assisted him to assist in scheduling.

It's not for nothing that Qiao Pet is so targeted at Ma Han. First of all, he thought that the thieves violated the troubles caused by Ma Han and others. Of course, this can't be said, after all, people are helping him get rid of thieves. Secondly, Qiao Chong, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Le are all knowledgeable and advocate a settlement through peace talks, so the resistance is not active. If it weren't for the fact that there was no second person with experience in the battle formation in Qiao's dock wall, Qiao Gong would have replaced him long ago. Finally, and most importantly, Qiao Pet asked himself about his identity, but he didn't expect Liu Ye's attitude towards this heroic Malone to be better than him, how could Qiao Pet endure this breath? He didn't dare to trouble Liu Ye, but he didn't have this scruple about being fierce. Therefore, it seems that Qiao Pet is reprimanding Gucci, but it is actually aimed at Ma Han.

Liu Ye is a guest in the end, so it's hard to say anything. Ma Han took this goods as air, and said to Gucci: "Shoot well, and when there are more guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they will come and shout, and then shoot me to death." ”

Gucci grinned and bowed in response. Chen to the following dragons and wolves rode fiercely, all of them.

Ma Han's insinuating words really made Qiao Pet angry, and the goat had to tremble, a bit of a feeling of "Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable". Then he handed over to Liu Ye: "Spoil to Ximen for scheduling." "Walk away.

Whether it was Ma Han or Liu Ye, they didn't take Qiao Pet seriously, and their minds were focused on the battle that was about to start - the thieves attacked.

First of all, hundreds of soldiers were driven to fill the moat. And in the process, the head of the city did not shoot a single arrow, and half a stone was thrown. There is no other reason, these servants are all Minzhuang who were captured from the neighborhood, and the people who are docked are all villagers in the village, who can do it?

The thieves also adhered to the bottom line, only ordered the servants to fill the river and push the siege weapons, and did not force them to participate in the battle, killing each other with the villagers and even relatives. Of course, there is also the fear that the servant will be killed, and there will not even be a person to fill the river, but he will be in danger. In short, it is convenient for others and oneself to be a man.

Seeing that the servant was so unscrupulous in filling the river, Gu Qi couldn't help but raise his bow, but was stopped by Ma Han with his gaze, this kind of thing that provokes the anger of the public, it is better not to force the head.

In the silence of the city, half an hour later, the tributary of the Anhui River of the dock was cut off and a passage was filled.

The thief was clearly enraged by the arrogant arrow. In the first attack, more than 800 thieves and more than 200 soldiers were dispatched, pushing more than 10 ladders and carrying more than 30 long hook ladders. Attack from the west and south.

The roar shook the sky, and the drums shook the ground, making the dockmen who had not been through many battles nervous and a little confused. Some archers shot arrows in their hands without waiting for the order, and they landed dozens of steps away from the thief army; Some were so nervous that they touched the boiling water, and they and their companions screamed; As for those who want to find a latrine with a rush of urine, let alone ......

Ma Han and Liu Ye stood on the south gate tower, which was the command position. Surrounded by more than 20 dragon wolf horsemen and Danyang soldiers. Under the protection of the first-class elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye even sent his own guards from the door to the city to help in the battle, without guarding.

It's just that Liu Ye didn't know that the Danyang soldiers were fine, but the combat effectiveness of the dragon and wolf cavalry was restricted by Yan zhòng.

In addition to heavy riding, dragon and wolf knights are equipped with bows, especially bow horses, and there are two bows: an ordinary hard bow. A pulley strong bow. But at the moment, you can't use any bow, because it's all a riding bow. Among the more than 20 people, there was only one Gucci, who used a foot bow. And it was the old rattan bow that he brought from Louyi that had been used for more than ten years. So at the moment, there is only one Gucci who can use the original bow and arrow generously.

Liu Ye got a batch of foot bows for the dragon wolf warriors and Danyang soldiers to use, but unfortunately most of them were soft bows and less than three hard bows. Barely works. In this way, the biggest advantage of the dragon wolf knight is gone. In addition, the thick armor of the heavy armor guards cannot be draped. Only light cavalry guards can wear armor. And because the long weapons were left on the ship and were not retrieved in time, the dragon and wolf horsemen who lost their sharp weapons were further weakened in combat effectiveness.

However, even if they can only exert three or four percent of their combat power in the past, the dragon and wolf warriors and Danyang soldiers below Chen are still full of confidence - without him, the thieves are too scumbag.

To be honest, Ma Han has been in the Three Kingdoms for so long, and he has never fought a battle to defend the city. His troops include invincible trap camps, dragon and wolf horsemen galloping across the country, and halberd warriors who defend like a rock. But he was never beaten to the city and forced to defend.

Ma Han's original idea of observing a fierce offensive and defensive battle was quickly shattered, and there was no way, whether it was the attacking side or the defending side, the level was too inferior. The level of the defender is very amateurish, and there have been many defensive loopholes and disjointed defenses, if it was a well-trained regular county soldier, it would have hit the city a long time ago. The thieves could not seize these opportunities at all, and often rushed up, being poured down by a flurry of arrows, stones, and boiling water, and scattered after a few blows. Then, under the threat of the sharp axes of the Warlords, they rushed to kill again.

Ma Han, Chen Zhi and the others shook their heads when they saw it, these thief soldiers were not much stronger than Wu Ding, and they were not even as good as the thief patrol they had defeated earlier. It seems that the elite of Leon is still in his hands.

After fighting for nearly half an hour, he failed to rush to the top of the city once. This is true at the south gate, and it is similar at the west gate.

Qiao Pet quickly reported to others: "Although the thief's attack is blazing, it is attacked by my elite soldiers, four attacks and four defeats, hundreds of corpses, Qiao Wu has no worries." "The pride is overflowing with words.

Ma Han and his guards were still calm, and their eyes were always locked on the thieves.

The time, close to dusk, late autumn night, came very quickly, and it would be dark in half an hour, and I believe that the thief army will also retreat.

At this time, I saw the servant beside Qiao Gong hurriedly rushing to the door, bowing to Liu Ye and saying, "The head of the family invites Mr. to the main hall, there is something important to discuss." ”

Liu Ye saw that the war was stable and there was a general in charge, so he went with peace of mind. It's just that Liu Ye ignored one point, the general is in charge, but he has no command. Is a general who has no command still a general?

When the first torch was lit at the head of the city, Ma stretched out his hand and pointed: "The Chinese army has moved." ”

Chen Zhi raised the lance in his hand, and the dragon and wolf knights took out their weapons one after another. They were already impatient, this kind of water mill is really boring, it is better to have a quick one. But they were destined to be disappointed, because these nearly 100 Chinese soldiers rushed to the west gate.

Chen Zhi asked for instructions, and Ma Han nodded silently. So Chen Zhi waved his hand, and in addition to leaving four dragon and wolf horsemen to guard, the remaining twenty people disappeared into the chaotic crowd with Chen Zhi's figure.

After a while, the sky became dark, and the four fields at the head of the city were lit up with sporadic fires.

Chen Zhi and the others came back soon, and Ma Han knew at a glance that they had not participated in the battle, their clothes were a little wrinkled, but there were no traces of blood, and their blades were shiny without bumping and damage.

"It's infuriating." Before Chen could speak, Asu angrily swung his knife and slashed at the door frame, "That Qiao pet didn't let us participate in the war at all, saying that he had two hundred guests, all of them were rangers, and twenty of us were a fart...... He also said that Dr. Liu was not there, he was the main general, and we all had to obey his command, so we were asked to move stones......"

Ma Han said lightly: "You moved?" ”

Chen Zhi said: "Move a few pieces, deal with it, after all, he is indeed the main general, and if he violates the order on the battlefield, it is easy to be truthful." ”

Ma Han nodded, Chen Zhi handled it well, as it should be.

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion in the west, and when he looked at it from a distance, he saw torches dancing wildly, and there was chaos.

"Oops." Chen Zhi clenched his long lance and looked into the distance, "I'm afraid the thief army is about to rush to the city." ”

This time, Ma Han did not give the order to attack. It's not just a matter of Qiao Pet's lack of cooperation, in such a dark night, the battle is very easy to be injured by mistake and easy to be separated. He only had more than 20 strong guards, and he really couldn't afford to lose.

After a while, the screams became more and more shocking, and a group of people could be faintly seen running over in a panic, including a few of the disciples that Qiao Pet was proud of.

Aso jumped downstairs, grabbed a person, and asked loudly, "How is Simon?" ”

The man shook his hand with all his might, but he couldn't shake it off, so he hissed: "I was killed by a group of fierce armor soldiers, and I rushed into the dock at night, and this is miserable...... I said can you let it go? I have to go home and protect my mother and child. (To be continued......)
