Zhang Liao and Song Xian looked at the fire in the city in disbelief, they didn't know what was happening, they were hesitating in their hearts, and suddenly countless sharp arrows shot out of the forest behind them, accompanied by overwhelming shouts of killing.

It was dark night, and in the forest, I only heard shouts to kill the earth, but I don't know how many enemy troops were killed.

Zhang Liao did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered the shield soldiers to step forward to cover it, while the rest of the soldiers hid behind the shields and returned fire with bows and arrows into the forest.

Because they do not know the situation of the enemy, it is unwise to attack or retreat.

Just when Zhang Liao led his troops to confront the enemy in the forest, he suddenly heard the sound of the city gate creaking and being pushed open.

At the beginning, Zhang Liao and Song Xian glanced at each other, and they both thought that Lu Bu had sent troops out of the city for reinforcements, but they didn't want to take long, but they heard the sound of Yuan Jun shouting about the city being broken from outside the city.

Zhang Liao and Song Xian were shocked and hurriedly looked in the direction of the city gate, only to see that under the night, it seemed that the boundless Yuan army was holding torches and killing from nowhere, and the city gate that should have been closed had already been opened, as if to welcome the arrival of Yuan Jun.

Zhang Liao, who has always been calm, is no longer calm at this time, the inexplicable fire, the open city gate, and the sudden battle of Yuan Jun have long shown that there are spies in the city.

"Hurry up!"

At this time, Zhang Liao could no longer care about the enemy troops in the forest, and loudly ordered to return to Xiapi.

But at this time, it is not so easy to leave.

When Ji Ling's lieutenant heard Zhang Liao's order to return to help, he immediately ordered the Yuan army in the forest to charge, and tried his best to entangle the three thousand soldiers of Zhang Liao and Song Xian.

Ji Ling's order to the deputy general was very simple, just let him delay Zhang Liao for an hour.

Because Yuan Shu was only ten miles away from Xiapi, if he marched at full speed, it wouldn't take long to arrive.

As soon as the army arrived, the Battle of Xiapi would be over.

Zhang Liao faced the Yuan army killed in the forest, although he was anxious, but he did not dare to blindly return to help, otherwise he would completely expose his back to the enemy, which was no different from suicide, and he had no choice but to shout to Song Xian: "After I come to break off, the general will quickly return to the aid of Xiapi!" ”

The matter was urgent, and Song Xian didn't say much, and immediately divided some soldiers to quickly kill the city gate.

And Zhang Liao led the troops to fight with Yuan's army.

At this time, Lu Bu in the city picked up the soldiers who were panicked and reported the news, and said with anger on his face: "Ruyan Red Rabbit Horse is missing? ”

The soldier was carried out by Lu Bu, and said tremblingly: "Go back...... Back to Wenhou, the red rabbit horse is indeed not there...... Not in the stables! ”

Hearing that the Red Rabbit Horse was lost, Lu Bu was furious and asked again, "Have you ever seen Qin Yilu?" ”

"No...... Never! ”

Lu Bu's eyes erupted with fire, thinking that Qin Yilu was the one who betrayed him, he suddenly threw the soldier out with both arms, and just wanted to kill him with a halberd, but he heard countless people outside the city shouting that the city was ruined!

Lu Bu was so frightened that he couldn't care about the trembling soldiers lying on the ground, and strode towards the city gate.

At this time, several fires broke out in the city, and it seemed that there was no way to save them, and the soldiers and civilians in the streets rushed to run, and the chaos was in chaos.

Lu Bu led hundreds of soldiers to the city gate, and suddenly saw a team of his own men and horses running from the opposite side, and the leader was Qin Yilu, who was in charge of taking care of the stables.

Lu Bu saw Qin Yilu running towards him with a weapon in his hand, and thought of the loss of the red rabbit horse, thinking that it was to capture him, preconceived, without waiting for Qin Yilu to speak, he directly slashed out with a halberd, and the blood light collapsed.

Poor Qin Yilu didn't know what was happening, so he was killed by Lu Bu with a halberd, and ended up in a different place.

The soldiers who followed Qin Yilu to report the news, seeing that Lu Bu couldn't help but say that he would kill his subordinates, he was stunned at first, and then shouted and ran away.

The streets, which were already chaotic, became even more chaotic.

Lu Bu couldn't take care of a lot, the most important thing at present was to hold the city, otherwise once the Yuan army entered the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now that the Red Rabbit Horse is lost, if the city is lost, Lu Bu's chances of escaping will become much slimmer.

Lu Bu was anxious in his heart, and led the soldiers all the way to the city gate, seeing that he was approaching, but he saw from a distance that the city gate had already been opened, and countless Yuan troops were rushing in.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu was in a low mood and shouted, "Where is Zhou Kui? Where is Zhang Liao and Song Xian? Why did Yuan Jun break the city so easily? ”

Lu Bu couldn't figure it out at all in his heart, with Zhang Liao's assistance outside the city and Zhou Kui guarding the city, why did he lose the city gate in just a moment?

Unless......?

Lu Bu looked at the intact city gate, and suddenly thought of a possibility in his mind, Zhou Kui was breached just after defending the city today, and there was an inexplicable fire in the city, all of which was too coincidental.

Lu Bu looked at the scattered soldiers and shouted, "Can you see Zhou Kuihu? ”

I only heard a soldier reply loudly: "I don't see Zhou Beijia, but the one who opened the city gate is a member of Zhou Beijia!" ”

"How dare Piff?"

When Lu Bu heard the soldier's reply, he scolded angrily, and then saw Yuan Jun crowding the streets to kill him, he didn't think much about it, turned around and ran.

Xiapi can no longer be defended, so he can only quickly escape and return to Xiaopei to make plans again.

In the Zhou family in the city, Zhou Kui had already returned home, the gate was closed, and all the family members and guards in the family were called out to guard all corners of the courtyard and the gate.

The Zhou family is the largest household in Xiapi, with many families and guards, although it is somewhat deficient compared with the regular sergeants, but it is not much different.

Zhou Kui listened to the noisy sound in the city, his face did not change, his eyes were closed, and he had the demeanor of everyone.

And a group of wives and concubines, children, as well as descendants of the clan, have long been hiding in the secret room to prevent accidents.

Zhou Kui inevitably leaked the news and did not inform his family of the conspiracy with Chen Deng, so at this time, the family was completely ignorant of the inside story and was in a panic.

"Dangdang...... Dangdang! ”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The guards didn't dare to arbitrarily decide, and hurriedly reported to Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui was relieved after listening to it, and the two paragraphs and three chiefs were the secret words agreed with Zhou Gu.

But after all, the situation was special, and Zhou Kui, for the sake of caution, ordered the family to go to the courtyard wall to check what was going on.

A family member listened to the order, quickly moved a long ladder and quietly climbed the city wall to look out, and saw that Zhou Gu led people back, and then nodded to Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui relieved himself and ordered the city gate to be opened for Zhou Gu to bring troops in.

The family guards taken away by Zhou Gu are the most elite 1,000 people in the Zhou family, and with the return of these people, the safety of the family will be guaranteed.

"Crunch ......!"

The heavy courtyard gate was pushed open by the four family members, and Zhou Gu didn't say much, leading the people behind him to enter quickly.

Zhou Gu saw Zhou Kui and saluted respectfully: "The head of the Qiyu family, fortunately, he has not dishonored his life, and has introduced Yuan Jun into the city!" ”

Zhou Kui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Follow me into the house to talk in detail!" ”

Zhou Gu turned around and ordered the guards and family members who followed him to say a few words, and then followed Zhou Kui into the room and closed the door with his hand.

Zhou Kui knelt on the couch, and when he saw Zhou Gu so careful, his heart was even more satisfied.

Zhou Gu closed the door, and then stood respectfully in front of Zhou Kui with a knife.

Zhou Kui looked at Zhou Gu with a smile on his face and asked, "What is the situation in the city now?" ”

Zhou Gu bowed his head slightly and replied: "Ji Ling, the general of the Yuan army, has already led the army into the city, and Lu Bu will be defeated!" ”

Zhou Kui laughed when he heard this: "If this is the case, Guangling will belong to my Zhou family!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Gu slowly raised his head, his face was expressionless, and said in a cold voice: "Chen Yuanlong Ming Gu brought a word to the head of the family, saying: You are not dead, there is a lack of clever plans!" ”

Without waiting for Zhou Kui to react, he slashed with a knife, and in just one moment, he slashed Zhou Kui to death.

Zhou Kui didn't react until he died, why his most trusted clansman suddenly killed him, and he didn't even give him a chance to beg for mercy.

Zhou Gu slashed Zhou Kui with a knife, stepped forward to check, saw that he was indeed dead, smiled with relief, slowly got up, his face suddenly showed a look of relief, and he killed himself with a backhand.
