Chapter 977: Close the City Gate!

When many courtiers in the main hall of the palace saw the Empress Dowager Dong who was walking slowly, the soldiers who were standing guard at the east gate of Luoyang City also saw a cloud of smoke and dust from afar.

"What's that?" A soldier held a spear in one hand, and with one hand in his eyes, he looked out at the smoke and dust.

He couldn't see anything, which made the confusion in his eyes more obvious.

"It's just sand blown by the wind, right?" The other soldier next to the questioning soldier replied, and at the same time stretched out his hand to feel the wind coming and going, but it was not as strong as he said it was strong enough to bring the force that swept the sand.

In fact, none of these soldiers who were guarding the city gates and had the responsibility of maintaining order did not know what the smoke and dust in the distance represented, and it was probably one of the strange weather phenomena? In short, in the boring life of standing guard at the city gate, this is probably a rare change, nothing more.

They saw it at the gates, and so did the common people who came and went, but they only stopped and watched for a while before continuing their original journey. Even if there are some people who have more doubts, they should stop and see what is going on and find out. But he also moved slowly in this current of progress, unable to stop and continue to think.

No one was stationed at the east gate, and the soldiers at the head of the city were full and clear, and they could see clearly. In their eyes, the smoke and dust in the distance went from a little bit like a pillar of smoke to a slow movement that stretched forward, towards where they were.

The soldiers stationed at the head of the city looked at each other with great surprise on their faces. If their judgment is not wrong, this should be a cavalry?

But, how could the cavalry come towards Luoyang City, and it was such an obvious battle?

Could it be the enemy?

The soldiers couldn't help but have this speculation in their minds, but they inadvertently gave an explanation.

There has been no war in Luoyang City for too long, even if there is a huge rebellion between the Yellow Turban Army, it has not threatened Luoyang City for half a point, let alone now that the thief rebellion has subsided. If someone is making a rebellion, then it is impossible not to have the slightest warning, and besides, which rebellious minister and thief dare to storm Luoyang City?

Shaking their heads, many of the soldiers felt that the thought in their minds was a little too ridiculous, but there was always a faint sense of irritability in their hearts that forced them to think about the worst of things.

A soldier shook his head, and His Majesty said, "Forget it, go and tell the captain about the matter here, and let the captain make a decision, so that even if something happens, we will not be too guilty." ”

"That's right, I'll go now, you continue to watch, if it's really cavalry, you can't let them enter the city without knowing their identity!" The other soldiers nodded and hurried towards the city.

"It's coming." Lu Bu, who was on the red rabbit horse, looked at the road scene that flashed quickly left and right, and the scenery quickly flashed from his eyes and around him. But he clearly captured the surprised and puzzled expressions of the pedestrians on both sides of the road who were standing and standing still.

"Wen Yuan, pass the order, just say that the rebellion in the city may grasp the city gate and close the city gate, speed up, be sure to enter the city before the rebellion closes the city gate." Lu Bu said. The cold wind kept pouring into his mouth.

"Yes." Zhang Liao, who was half a horse's seat behind Lu Bu, replied, and relayed Lu Bu's words to the many cavalrymen behind him.

For a while, the speed of the cavalry increased again, and became extremely fast.

These elite cavalry from Bingzhou, after being trained by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, became incomparably elite, and they had fought in the grassland many times to fight with many Xianbei alien races, and now they were sitting on horses, galloping on horseback, and some of them were all absolute elites killed from bloody battles again and again.

The order was forbidden, and when it accelerated again, the many cavalry almost all moved in the same way, and the speed of the entire cavalry immediately increased, as natural as the clouds and water of their peers.

"Close the gates, close the gates!" The lieutenant, who heard the soldier's order, ran up to the city gate quickly, and when he saw the smoke and dust in the distance, his face became extremely gloomy, and he almost immediately gave the order.

"Close the gates, close the gates!" The soldiers at the head of the city ran to the battlements and shouted loudly.

When the soldiers near the city gate heard this, they immediately took action and began to drive the people of the city gate near the city gate, intending to close the city gate.

But the four gates of Luoyang City can be called a large number of pedestrians who come and go every day, including those carriages and horses transporting goods. By the time the lieutenant gave the order and the soldiers began to drive away the pedestrians, there was still a commotion near the East City Gate, even if the soldiers shouted loudly, there was no way to make the scene much better.

The people who went into the city wanted to come in, and the people who went out wanted to go out, and no one wanted to back down, they didn't want to wait, so all the people were stuck together. Coupled with the cattle and horses that pulled the goods, they were tightly blocked, and the city gate was completely chaotic.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Seeing this, the soldiers stabbed the chaotic crowd with the other end of their spears, and struggled to separate a path.

The soldiers near the gate were about to close the gate, but because the people had not yet cleared it, and the gate was too thick and heavy, several soldiers pushed the gate from both ends extremely slowly. But at last, the two gates moved, and moved in their respective directions, towards the moment they closed.

Human voices, horses, the screams of pain from being stabbed at the other end of the spear, the hoarse cries of the soldiers. and the heavy creak of the gates as they move slowly. While the chaos of sounds filled the city gates, suddenly, everything became quiet, and no new sound appeared from everyone's open mouths, and they looked at the city gates, and the shadows that appeared in the distance.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground echoed in everyone's ears.

The ground shook, and that kind of vibration was transmitted through the sound to make everyone at the city gate feel deeply.

"Close the gates!" A soldier shouted at the top of his voice.

Everything that had come to a sudden standstill began to run, and all the civilians dodged in what they thought was safe. In their opinion, since the appearance of cavalry is what has happened, whether it is an enemy attack or not, they must first hide in a safe position.
