Chapter 216: Leaving the city in the middle of the night
"From here to the nearest wall, it's about six streets!" Looking down at the two corpses lying at his feet, Liu Wei whispered to Guan Qing on the side: "Chang Xuan did not place a night patrol team on the streets, but five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and guarded the streets of the entire city. ”
"What is Your Highness's plan!" Looking at the two Liu Bian's personal soldiers standing on the street dressed as the Yellow Turban Army, Guan Qing lowered his voice and said to Liu Bian: "Now that the time has passed, if it is consumed until dawn......
"At most, in half an hour, they will be in chaos!" Liu Wei pursed his lips very confidently, smiled at Guan Qing, and whispered: "You wait and wait patiently, no one is allowed to act without the order of this king." ”
Guan Qing nodded, and then looked at the more than 100 pro-soldiers who had already climbed over the wall and crouched in the corner.
All the pro-soldiers clutched their swords tightly, and their eyes stared unblinkingly at the street where a yellow turban soldier stood at a distance.
After crouching in the corner for about half an hour, the Yellow Turbans on the street never changed their guards, except for the occasional one or two Yellow Turbans who would walk a few steps and chat with the other Yellow Turbans closest to them.
Everyone was waiting anxiously, and a Yellow Turban soldier on the street suddenly pointed to the hiding place of Liu Wei and others, and shouted: "It's not good! The county government is on fire! ”
This shout pierced the silence of the night, and many Yellow Turban soldiers suddenly poured out of the houses on the street, and the Yellow Turban Army who were originally standing on the street also ran towards the main gate of the county government.
"Let's go!" It's just that in an instant, the Yellow Turban Army on the street is already running, and the attention of the few Yellow Turban Army who did not run in the direction of the main gate of the county government is also attracted to the county government where the fire is burning, and seeing that no one noticed the place where they are dormant, Liu Wei gave a low shout to Guan Qing and more than 100 personal soldiers, and took the lead in getting up and running towards the street.
Guan Qing and more than 100 personal soldiers saw Liu Wei get up and jump out, and hurriedly ran behind him to the street.
"The county government is out of the water! Hurry up and put out the fire! Running out into the street, Liu Wei shouted loudly while leading the crowd in the direction of the nearest city wall.
The county hall was on fire, and the streets were already in chaos, and many Yellow Turban soldiers ran back and forth, filling pots and cans with water, and rushed into the mansion to put out the fire. Liu Wei shouted, and the Yellow Turban Army running past them became more and more panicked, and no one noticed the suspicion of their team.
The first to burn the fire was the study with the most bamboo slips and books. Bamboo slips, paper and silk that can be used for writing are all extremely flammable materials, and after a flame burns, they will soon burn brightly, and it will not be long before the fire has spread to the surrounding houses, and the flames in the sky have risen to the sky, almost reflecting half of the sky, where can be extinguished at will!
There were Yellow Turban troops rushing towards the county government on all streets, and Liu Wei led Guan Qing and others to pass by these Yellow Turban Army, and along the way, they didn't even meet a single Yellow Turban Army who stopped them for interrogation.
After running through five or six streets in a row, Liu Wei saw the dark shadow of the city wall emerging at the end of the street, and beckoned to Guan Qing and his own soldiers who followed behind him and shouted: "Hurry!" ”
Under Liu Wei's urging, everyone sped up and rushed towards the city wall.
"Who?" Seeing that he was only a few steps away from the city gate, a loud shout suddenly came from the city wall.
Looking up at the city wall, Liu Wei replied to the Yellow Turban soldiers who asked: "The county government is on fire, King Hongnong has escaped, we are chasing King Hongnong, have you ever seen it?" ”
Hearing that King Hongnong had run away, the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted to Liu Bian: "I haven't seen King Hongnong leave, you can go to the city gate and ask ......."
"I'm tired of my brother!" shouted to the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall, Liu Wei waved his hand to the people behind him and said loudly: "Go to the city gate and ask!" ”
When shouting, he deliberately raised his voice a lot, so that the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall could hear what he said, and led Guan Qing and more than 100 soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads to quickly go to the direction of the city gate.
"Who's here?" As soon as they arrived at the city gate, before Liu Wei could speak to the Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city gate, several Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly greeted them, raised their short spears and pointed at them, and one of them shouted to them: "The city gate is closed, don't you know?" ”
"There is a fire in the county government, and King Hongnong and his entourage are all missing!" Raising his hand to stop the people following him, Liu Wei's only son walked over to the Yellow Turban soldiers and said to them: "I'm here to ask my brothers if I can see King Hongnong?" ”
The city gate guards who had been ordered to strictly guard the city gate and not allow King Hongnong to escape, heard Liu Biao say that King Hongnong had fled, and looked at each other one by one, and after a while, the Yellow Turban Army who had just opened his mouth to drink Liu Bian and others shook his head blankly and said to Liu Bian: "We haven't seen King Hongnong......
Without waiting for the Yellow Turban Army to finish speaking, Liu Wei suddenly pulled out his long sword, held the hilt of the sword in both hands, and slashed it at his neck.
With a silver arc of light, the head of the Yellow Turban Army was like a ripe persimmon, leaving its neck and rolling to the ground. Blood splattered from the cavity, and the headless body trembled violently as if it had been electrocuted, and fell straight backwards.
As soon as Liu Wei made a move, Guan Qing and the more than 100 personal soldiers who followed him rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army guarding the city gate.
There were only twenty or thirty Yellow Turban troops guarding the city gate, and they didn't expect Liu Wei to suddenly make a move. Liu Wei's long sword drew an arc of light, cutting off the head of the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army standing on the inside of the city gate still did not come back to their senses, more than 100 Liu Wei soldiers who were standing five or six steps away, but had already been prepared, swarmed up, but in an instant, the Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city gate were all slashed.
Liu Wei's own soldiers attacked, all of them greeted each other's vital points, and the Yellow Turban Army who was split to the ground didn't even snort, and they fell to the ground and died.
"Open the gates!" Occupying the city gate, Liu Wei waved to his soldiers and whispered to them: "Pull the rope straight to the inside of the city gate, and the height should be up to your calf!" ”
Twenty or thirty soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, some of them ran to open the city gate, while the other part, according to Liu Wei's instructions, tightened and straightened five ropes brought out of the county government in the door hole on the inner side of the city gate, and laid five stumbling ropes.
"Let's go!" The soldiers had set up a stumbling rope, and the city gate had been opened, Liu Wei beckoned to everyone and ran out of the city gate first.
Out of the city gate, Liu Wei did not lead everyone to run straight forward, but chose to stick to the root of the city wall and quickly march north.
killed the Yellow Turban Army guarding the city gate, but in an instant, Liu Wei and his own soldiers were very neat, and they barely made much noise. The city gates have been breached, and the Yellow Turbans on the city walls are still unaware.
Leading Guan Qing and more than 100 personal soldiers to slip through the wall and run for five or six hundred steps, seeing the corner of the city wall from a distance, Liu Wei stopped, raised his hand to the people behind him and made a stop gesture, lowered his voice and said to them: "Although we are taking advantage of the chaos to get out of the city, but since Na Changyun wants to trap us, he will definitely not make only one arrangement." There may have been an ambush outside the city! ”
Then he turned his head to look at Guan Qing who was following behind him, and said to everyone: "If there is no ambush, if there is really an ambush, Miss Guan will follow the king, and everyone will fight all the way to the north, rush back to the barracks, and prepare to meet the Yellow Turban Army in the city early tomorrow morning!" ”
"No!" More than 100 people clasped their fists together and responded softly, and Liu Wei beckoned to them and led everyone straight to the north.
"Stop!" Just past the corner of the city wall, Liu Wei and the others were rushing in the direction where the army was stationed, and more than 100 Yellow Turban soldiers with swords suddenly jumped out of the grass, and the leading Yellow Turban Army raised their hands towards Liu Wei and the others, shouting loudly.
"There are only more than a hundred of them, rush over!" Seeing a group of Yellow Turban soldiers suddenly jumping out of the field, Liu Wei drew his long sword and shouted at the people who followed behind him.
More than 100 personal soldiers behind him shouted in unison, drew their long swords, and followed Liu Wei to rush towards the Yellow Turban Army blocking the front.
"Capture King Hongnong!" Before Liu Wei led his own soldiers to rush to the front of the group of Yellow Turban Army, a shout suddenly came from the side, and in the dark field, a large number of Yellow Turban Army suddenly burst out, and the leading Yellow Turban General held a spear and rushed towards Liu Wei quickly.
"Kill!" I didn't expect that a group of nearly 1,000 Yellow Turban troops would rush out from the side, Liu Wei knew that he had been ambushed, turned his heart sideways, roared, and the pace of his feet sped up a little, and pounced on the more than 100 Yellow Turban troops who were facing him.
Following behind Liu Wei, Guan Qing saw that a black pressure suddenly poured out of the Yellow Turban Army around him, and he also shouted, holding a long sword and rushing towards the weakest place of the Yellow Turban Army's defense.
More than 100 pro-soldiers tore off the yellow scarves wrapped around their heads, brandished their long swords, and rushed towards the oncoming Yellow Turban Army.
More than 200 people slammed into each other, and Liu Wei's own soldiers gritted their steel teeth one by one, constantly swinging their swords and slashing at the Yellow Turban Army opposite. The Yellow Turbans, who were equal in number to them, were smashed by this group of crazy people after only one charge.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, Liu Wei, who had just overturned a Yellow Turban soldier, turned around, roared, and pounced on this group of more than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers.
Rushing to the front of the Yellow Turban Army, the long sword in Guan Qing's hand flew up and down, and every time she swung a sword, there would be a puddle of blood on the chest of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side, and he fell backwards on his back.
After splitting over the two Yellow Turban Army in a row, Guan Qing saw Liu Wei rushing towards the Yellow Turban Army with more people, hurriedly followed behind Liu Wei, and pounced on him with a shout.
Of the more than 100 Liu Wei soldiers, only twenty or thirty people remained to fight with the Yellow Turban Army that appeared first, and the rest followed Guan Qing closely and killed the Yellow Turban Army, which was more numerous.
At the same time, in Lu County, Chang Xuan learned that the county government was on fire, and hurriedly led a group of yellow turban generals to check.
When Changfeng rushed to the county government, what appeared in front of him was a scorched black ruins. The fire had been extinguished, and puffs of green smoke rose from the ashes.
On the ground in the front yard of the county government, dozens of charred corpses dragged out of the fire by the Yellow Turban Army were placed side by side.
A Yellow Turban general who rushed to the fire scene earlier saw that Chang Feng was coming, hurriedly ran to him, hugged his fists and said: "Qi Qi Qu Shuai, the last general will wait until the county government, and the fire has already ignited." Only these corpses were dragged out of the fire, and they must have been buried under the rubble. ”
