After many years, Fengjiayu is as desolate and quiet as it was at the beginning.

The narrow ravine is lined with weeds and thorns, and at the bottom of the ravine is a winding road, leading to Danshui City in the west and Qujiawu Fort in the east.

Qu Gang and Xiong Yue each led 2,000 infantry and hid on both sides of the exit at the east end of Fengjiayu, as if hiding behind two open gates, just waiting for Gong Du's team to break in and close the door to catch the "thief"!

Gong Du, who was born in the Yellow Turban, is not much stronger than his brother Liu Pi at the beginning, and in this era of heroes, he is a third-rate character at best. If he and the troops under his command really had the ability, then with Liu Bei's black-bellied nature, he would definitely not be willing to let Gong Du take the team to the troubled waters of Sanhu Pavilion.

Gong Du, who was bent on avenging Liu Pi, saw that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew were attacking Danshui and occupying business secrets, and the soldiers were invincible everywhere they went, and they did not encounter strong resistance, so he felt that the local armed forces in Danshui were a group of unpopular bandits, and they could not be their opponents. What Gong Du couldn't understand was why Liu Pi had folded in business secrets at the beginning.

The team of 5,000 people said that it was not big or small, and they came to the west end of Fengjiayu with hugs and hugs.

"Tell General Gong, five miles ahead is Fengjiayu, ten miles deep, and through it is the sphere of influence of the Qu family of the Three Households Pavilion."

"Order the army to camp on the spot, and the scouts will explore the inside and outside of Fengjiayu again!"

Although he looked down on the thieves of Sanhu Pavilion in his heart, Gong Du was more cautious than Liu Pi by nature, and did not rashly lead his troops straight to Fengjiayu.

After a while, the second wave of scouts sent by Gong Du entered Fengjiayu.

There are several trees growing on a steep straight earth cliff dozens of feet high, and there is a small hole with a very hidden opening where the trees are inserted diagonally into the cliff wall, and someone in the hole is peeking down through the gap in the leaves.

"Straight lady thief, fortunately, the second boss didn't hide the people in the valley this time, otherwise he really wouldn't have escaped the spying of these meticulous works back and forth several times!" The man in charge of watching lowered his voice and muttered softly.

"Xiong Liu, don't make a sound!" One of the people in the cave punched his accomplice who poked his head out. He also lowered his voice in warning.

Two hours later, the detailed work that went deep into the valley to investigate returned to report to Gong Du and found no abnormalities in the valley. Gong Du then ordered the troops to pull out the camp and divide it into three parts: front, middle, and rear and slowly march towards Yunei.

In a col five miles north of the east exit of Fengjiayu, two thousand neatly draped infantry hid among the weeds and woods, and the half-fractal trace could not be seen from a distance.

"Commander Qu, why don't we use the favorable terrain in the valley to fight with Gong Du this time?"

"The terrain of Fengjiayu is narrow and steep, which is not suitable for the brigade to hide, if you fight with Gong Du in the valley, you can only annihilate some of Gong Du's soldiers and horses. Once Gong Du suffers a loss, he can order the rear troops and horses to withdraw to Danshui, so that our goal of destroying the enemy step by step cannot be achieved. ”

"But if the people of Gongdu are released to pass through Feng Jiayu, they will be able to go straight to our dock fort, can the brothers who stayed in the dock fort be able to resist it?"

"With the group of bird thieves under Gong Du, even if there are 5,000 more people, they won't be able to break through our dock fort in less than a month! But will we give him a month? ”

"Commander Qiyu Qu, I found that the vanguard of the enemy army has left Fengjiayu!"

"Continue to observe, be sure to confirm that the main force of the Gong thieves is out of the valley."

According to the idea of a normal person. The men and horses of Qujiabao either ambushed Gongdu in Fengjiayu, or they hid in the fort to defend it strictly, and it was impossible to divide a large part of the troops to hide in a place like five miles outside the exit of Fengjiayu. Gong Du put all his attention on the valley and waited until the main force was safely cleared. He only saw the long stretch of dock forts and villages not far to the east, but he did not pay attention to the ambushes hiding on the left and right sides of his troops.

"Pass on my general's order, the three armies will go to Qujiabao, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" Gong Du's eyes were full of murderous intent. Riding a horse and hurrying east.

"Commander Qiyuqu, the thief army has all left the valley, and now it is heading in the direction of Wubao!"

"Tell me the order. The troops immediately moved in the direction of Yukou, joined up with Xiong Er's troops, and prepared to close the door and fight the dogs! ”

An hour later, outside Qujiabao......

"Listen, the people in the fort are passing through here, and there is a shortage of grain and grass, and they heard that there is enough grain and grass in Qujiawu Fort, and they are willing to buy it with money, and they can quickly open the gate of the fort, so as not to anger our general!"

"Phew! It sounds good, but it's actually a group of thieves who burn, kill and loot! Qu Dazhuang, who was standing on the wall of the fort, spit a mouthful of phlegm fiercely downward, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Listen to the thieves outside the fort, the grain and grass we reserve are only supplied to Luoyang, if you want to live, hurry up where you come from and where you go, lest the sword and arrow have no eyes and give your life in vain!" ”

After a confrontation of scolding, both sides were able to speak their tongues, and neither took each other's words seriously.

Gong Du saw that the troops had finished resting, so he ordered to attack Qujiawu Fort.

Before Gong Du came this time, he was not unprepared, before he decided to attack Qujiawu Fort, he had sent people to inquire about the situation of Sanhu Pavilion, and before he came, he also made some simple siege equipment such as long ladders and door trucks. In Gong Du's opinion, even if Qujiawu Fort was well defended, it was impossible to withstand the siege of 5,000 people under his command.

If Gong knew that the details he sent to the vicinity of Sanheting to inquire about the news were actually under the supervision of others, and the information brought back by these details was only false information that was deliberately revealed to him by others and had a misleading effect, then what he had to do at this time was not to order an attack on Qujiabao, but to quickly run away with his men.

Even if the two teams of Qu Gang and Xiong Yue, who were ambushed outside Fengjiayu, did not come to copy Gong Du's back road, the thousands of armored infantry in the fort alone would be enough to deal with the 5,000 men and horses brought by Gong Du.

Outside the fort, soldiers armed with bows and crossbows began to suppress the Qu family troops who were defending the fort wall. Shooting like this does not seek the number of casualties, but only to provide cover for the soldiers who are attached to the fort.

Arrows rained down, and the Qu soldiers hiding behind the fort wall did not move. According to the pre-battle deployment, these soldiers would not return fire until the enemy soldiers outside the fort began to climb.

"Do you see the door-slamming car in the distance? Later, a few of you will use the bed crossbow to deal with it, and you must not let the door crashing car get close to the main entrance of the dock fort! ”

"Rest assured, patriarch, we have ten bed crossbows, and there are no more than five door slamming cars under the fort, and this time they all shot him into wooden slag!"

Gradually, the enemy troops under the fort approached. There were already several long ladders on the fort wall, and the bulky door crashing cart was pushed by a group of soldiers towards the gate of the dock fort......

"Longbowmen, archers designed to aim at enemy forces!"

"Halberd, push the ladder out!"

"Bed crossbowman, start attacking!"

A group of orders were conveyed by the patriarch Qu Yong without hesitation, and the soldiers of the Qu family, who had endured for a long time, immediately took action.

"Rush! Kill into Qujiawu Fort, take the gold, silver and jewelry as you like, and the women do as you like......"

"Kill! The sons and daughters of the Qu family have no bad seeds, and today this group of thieves has no return! ”

The fierce offensive and defensive battle finally began, and shouts of killing rang out everywhere.

Gong Du watched his soldiers keep falling to the ground with arrows, and some soldiers who had managed to climb to the top of the fort were picked down by spears and fell to death, and their faces became more and more ugly.

"Whoosh!" A shrill howl sounded, and several large crossbow arrows with thick arms shot down from the top of the fortress, instantly hitting one of the crashing cars that rushed to the front, and the sharp arrows pierced the roof of the crashing car covered by several layers of cowhide, and shot the soldiers hiding inside to the stomach.

"It's not good, there is a bed crossbow in Qujiabao to defend the city." Gong Du felt his scalp tingle, and hurriedly ordered his troops to stop this wave of attack. "Spread my order, the army suspended the attack, buried the pot to cook, and rested until night. Wait until the soldiers on the fort can't see it at night, and then besiege Qujia Fort! ”

After the attack was blocked, Gong Du was able to immediately adjust his thinking, and did not use the lives of his soldiers to fill Qujiabao, which can be regarded as a good command.

However, before Gong Du's order could be conveyed, a earth-shattering drum sounded behind them.

"General Gong, it's not good, two forces have killed from the direction of Fengjiayu in the west!"

"What! Where did the troops come from? Gong was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

"Sword and shield soldiers are in front of you!"

"The pikemen followed!"

"Longbowmen ready to shoot!"

At the critical moment, Qu Gang and Xiong Yue led their troops to kill behind Gong Du.

Gong Du saw that the general situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered the rear army to resist the enemy, and before he finished the order, he suddenly saw dozens of round objects the size of buckets flying out of the dock fort, all of which flew towards the place where Gong Du stopped, and one of them hit Gong Du's back, directly smashing him several feet away from the back of the war horse.

Since there are bed crossbows in Qujiabao, it is not surprising that there are dozens of catapults with long range and great power. These catapults are from the Macheng Weapons Workshop, not only the same model, but also equipped with stone bullets of uniform weight, plus a special range table for firing angles, as well as a telescope for fire observation, aiming in one direction and concentrated projection, the accuracy is already quite high, and one of the dozens of stone projectiles directly hits the target, which is not an exaggeration.

The unlucky Gong Du didn't even have time to explain his last words, and his spine was broken the moment he was hit by a stone bullet, and then his internal organs were shaken to pieces, so he couldn't die again.

Qu Yong saw through the clairvoyant mirror that Gong Du fell off his horse like a rag, and then there was no movement, so he said to the herald beside him: "Let the soldiers chant together, 'Gong Du is dead, surrender and don't kill!'" ’”

"Gong Du is dead, surrender and don't kill!"

The soldiers of the Qu family at the top of the dock fort shouted loudly, and not long after, the soldiers of Qu Gang and Xiong Yue's troops who surrounded them from the west also chanted together, and the soldiers of Gong Du, who had lost their main general, were already in a panic, and they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
