Lingqiu.

It belongs to Zhongshan County, Jizhou, and is also bordering Yanmen County.

In the past, there was no war between Jizhou and Bingzhou, and it has always been very peaceful here. In addition, there is a natural stone mountain in front of the city, which has become a natural barrier to keep out the enemy, so that the soldiers here have learned a kind of habit, that is, no one will enter from here.

In the absence of war all year round, the soldiers' precaution has been reduced to a minimum. In addition, they had just learned that their lord Yuan Shao had become the general of the expedition to the north, supervising Bingzhou and Youzhou, so the soldiers here were even less guarded, and even Qu Xiang, the main general who was responsible for guarding here, did not fortify here at all.

Qu Xiang is a general under Yuan Shao and the younger brother of Qu Yi, the guard of Zhongshan County.

Quyi, also known as Koyi, was a figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and a subordinate of Yuan Shao.

Originally a subordinate of Han Fu, he rebelled in the second year of Chuping (191), defeated Han Fu, and defected to Yuan Shao. He had fought with the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo and won it. In the battle of Pingyouzhou Boundary Bridge, Ko Yi broke Gongsun Zhan's army with elite soldiers, killed Yan Gang, and returned to rescue Yuan Shao, who was besieged.

After Lian Li's military exploits, he was reused by Yuan Shao and became the county guard and general of Zhongshan County, guarding the north of Jizhou for him.

Under the reuse, Qu Yi became a little arrogant, and he once said that if Yuan Shao had an order, he could recapture Youzhou within half a year and seize the ownership there.

After listening to Qu Yi's heroic words, Yuan Shao was even more happy, rewarded him with a lot of things, and named his younger brother Qu Xiang as a partial general, and cooperated with the defense of Zhongshan County.

The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Qu Yi was reused, and Qu Xiang's identity rose with the tide, and he became the existence of a person who said nothing in Lingqiu.

After hearing that the lord was appointed by the emperor as the general of the expedition to the north, Qu Xiang also held a banquet in Lingqiu City. In his opinion, the greater Yuan Shao's power, the more grace their Qu family will get, and the better life will be.

Qu Xiang even thought that Yuan Shao would definitely become the lord of the Central Plains, and it was not impossible for him to even win the title of the founder of the new dynasty. And in his longing thoughts, Zhang Chao had already appeared in the northwest direction of Lingqiu with an army of 80,000.

The army of 80,000 came out day and night, and came to the assembly place without attracting attention. After passing the Tianyan Organization and having a clear understanding of the city defense of Lingqiu City, Zhang Chao ordered Huang Zhong to carry out the predetermined plan as soon as he arrived at the assembly place.

On the official road leading from Lingqiu to Yanmen County, for three consecutive days, there were many merchants. Most of them were caravans from the state, and every time they passed through the city passes, they would inevitably be taxed heavily, and even most of the merchants had to be skinned to pass the customs.

But even so, in the past three days, there were still many caravans passing by, which attracted the commander in charge of guarding the city to earn enough silver taels, although he could not figure out why these merchants had to pay a large amount of silver taels to pass the customs, but as long as there was silver to earn, he was happy.

For three consecutive days, more than a dozen caravans passed in front of Lingqiu City, more than two hundred caravans, and some thirty or forty people, and all of them were men in the prime of life.

In their opinion, it was just 2,000 people, and even if they entered the city, it would have played no role. You must know that because of the important fear of Lingqiu City, General Qu Yi specially arranged 8,000 soldiers to Qu Xiang, with so many soldiers in the city, there should be no problems.

It is precisely because the main general is so careless, even with the soldiers below, that he does not have too much delve into the vision that appears.

Three days later, outside Lingqiu City, Zhang Chao was lurking here with a large army, and Lu Bu, the commander of the vanguard army, was standing here at this time asking for instructions.

"My lord, General Huang has been in the city for three days, and the followers have also entered the city, when will we make a move?" Lu Bu stood in front of Zhang Chao and hurriedly asked for battle.

"Don't panic, you have a good rest, it's time to use you tonight." Seeing Lu Bu so high-spirited, Zhang Chao's heart was also very gratified.

Zhang Chao's righteous sister is Diao Chan, when she learned that Yuan Shao actually asked for Da Qiao, she said angrily to her husband Lu Buyan: "This Yuan Benchu is too shameless, he actually wants to rob my sister-in-law, and my husband will definitely help me teach them a good lesson when he goes to the battlefield this time." Yong'er and I are waiting for you to return triumphantly. ”

Lu Bu looked at his wife and his son Lu Yong, and naturally agreed in one bite. Now that he has been outside Lingqiu City for three days, but he has been fighting without a fight, he has long been in a hurry. Now that he knew that tonight was the time to make a move, he immediately agreed: "Okay, Bu will order the vanguard to rest now and prepare for a battle at night." ”

"Well, I can rest assured that I will do things first. It's just that I still have something to tell you, come. Zhang Chao patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and came to the sand table, and then pointed to the topographic map on it and said: "Tonight's matter, Feng Xian and Hansheng should be together, I can rest assured." But what I'm going to tell you is what to do after I capture Lingqiu. Even if we make a move, this is equivalent to Yuan Shao tearing his face, then we will attack in a way that pulls dry and decays..."

Inside Lingqiu City.

The night was still as quiet as usual, and the soldiers defending the city began to shake their heads one by one after entering the third watch, and they were obviously sleepy. When a dark cloud was obscuring the moon and there were no fingers outside, a group of black shadows were rapidly approaching the city gate.

The two soldiers standing under the tower on duty, when the spear in the main pillar was napping, suddenly felt the mouth and nose being covered, then the neck tightened, and then a stream of hot blood flowed out.

When the soldiers were killed, the gates were completely exposed. Then I saw a group of men in black quickly occupy this place. Then another group of people was hurrying towards the top of the tower.

The same is true of the soldiers on the tower, they have no idea that there will be an enemy behind them, and they will appear in front of them quietly. Waiting for the men in black to kill, most of the 500 soldiers defending the city have been killed.

"Not good, there are enemies." Finally, some vigilant soldiers spotted the traces of the man in black and began to shout loudly.

With the shouting, the torches on the castle tower were lit one after another, and the light of the fire here finally attracted the attention of the other soldiers in the city.

As the torches burned, the gates were opened, and in the distance, countless cavalry were rushing towards it.

Before the cavalry, it was a fierce man with a halberd painted by Fang Tian in his hand, and he was seen riding on a horse, and he was speeding close to the city gate.

Lingqiu City.

At the location of the city lord's mansion, a soldier saw the torches lit above the city gate, and the shouting immediately rang out, causing General Qu Xiang, who was sleeping, to also wake up. After learning that there was a fire at the city gate from the mouth of the soldiers, they were also shocked, so they picked up the sword they carried, put on their clothes, and walked out of the courtyard.

As soon as he appeared, a lot of black-clothed people appeared in his sight, and then a big knife slashed at his head.

Out of instinct, Qu Xiang raised his arrow to block, and then the sword and sword struck together, and under the great force, Qu Xiang was knocked to the ground in just one round.

"That's a lot of strength." Jie Quxiang, who was knocked down by the force of a sword, couldn't help but shout loudly.

"You're stabbing me." Qu Xianggang exclaimed, and the big knife slashed in front of him again. The Cirrus Knife came up with the sound of a whistling wind, smashing straight into the place where the head of the curved head was.

The man who shot was none other than Huang Zhong, who disguised himself as a merchant and entered Lingqiu City, and within three days, 2,000 carefully selected men were placed in various parts of the city. According to the agreement, once I saw the fire on the city gate tonight, I would do it.

After Huang Zhong arranged for his henchmen to steal the city gate, he took fifty of his men to the city lord's mansion, and just waited for the chaos in the mansion, so he took the opportunity to kill.

Now it seems that everything is going according to plan. Seeing that the City Lord's Mansion was in chaos, Huang Zhong also took advantage of the chaos to kill, and saw a person coming out with a sword, and there were many people around him to follow and protect, so he jumped out directly and took his life.

Qu Xiang also learned some martial arts with his brother, but he also had two real kung fu. It's just that when facing Huang Zhong, who has infinite strength, he immediately felt overstretched, and the dangerous line arose.

It's just that after a hard stroke, the sword holding the tiger mouth of the curved direction has already overflowed with blood, and now seeing the big knife attacking for the second time, he sighed in his heart My life is over, and this is another sword to block. It's just that the wrist that had already been injured just now could still block Huang Zhong's huge sword.

I saw that after the Cirrus Cloud Knife smashed on the long sword, its strength was still undiminished, and it continued to fall, slashing at the neck of the curved direction.

The big knife fell, and then I saw that the neck of the curved direction was stained with blood, and the white bones of Sen Sen were also exposed.

Qu Xiang was killed, and after Huang Zhong took his head in his hand with a knife in his hand, he shouted to the other people in the courtyard and said, "Your general is dead, and you still have to resist?" ”

The loud shout caused the faces of some of the pro-soldiers in the palace who still wanted to fight back to change. When there is no hope, these people lose their morale and either flee or go to their own devices.

Qu Xiang was killed, causing the entire Lingqiu City to fall into a situation where the dragons were leaderless. As soon as Lu Bu entered the city with 50,000 vanguard troops, it was as if he was in a no-man's land, and he couldn't find a decent opponent.

When Lu Bu was still anxious to make meritorious service, Huang Zhong on the opposite side appeared in front of him on horseback, and shouted loudly when he was far away: "General Lu, the head of the person who bent to the direction has been cut off by me, hahaha." ”
