The night was cold and windy, and on the city wall of Qiyang West City, Han Teng was suddenly awakened by the movement under the city wall.

Han Teng got up and looked down, the fire under the city was soaring, and the Yellow Turban Army rushed from a distance like ants holding a siege ladder like ants.

"Quick, don't sleep, the rebels are attacking again! Grab your weapons and get ready to retreat! ”

Han Teng woke up the other soldiers who were in a daze, and when he glanced around, there were only twenty-two guards who had been called up from the pile of dead. With him, that is, all the remaining defending forces at the West City Gate.

"County lieutenant, or, I, let's withdraw." A soldier next to Han Teng looked at the Yellow Turban Army shouting outside the city, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his legs trembling.

"Are you from Qiyang?" Han Teng didn't get angry at this soldier, but asked him unhurriedly.

"Yes, I'm from Xicheng, Qiyang County." The soldier replied without hesitation.

Han Teng nodded, and then slowly spoke: "My home is in Jizhou, according to this, it is thousands of miles away, it is said that I don't have to die in the city, but do you know why I have fought so far?" ”

The soldier shook his head.

"Although my family is not Qiyang, it is a real Han Chinese! This Qiyang county is also my Han city-state! For my Han city-state not to fall into the hands of thieves, I am willing to die in Qiyang! ”

Han Teng turned his head and patted the soldier's shoulder and lowered his voice: "You just said that your whole family is in Xicheng, do you know what the consequences of your retreat now are?" ”

"That is, your entire family property was plundered by the Yellow Turban thieves, your family was killed, and your wife and daughter were robbed! You retreat now, are you worthy of your family! ”

The soldier was moved by Han Teng's words, and immediately felt ashamed, and two lines of tears fell on the spot.

"Brothers, we are not guarding a cold city, but our family, wives and daughters! Those who have children think about your children, and those who have parents think about your parents, and it is their safety that we protect! ”

"Even if we can't resist today, on Huangquan Road, if we work together, we are worthy of our family!"

Han Teng shouted loudly, and this sound immediately frightened away the fear in the hearts of the guards guarding the city!

"Brothers, let's follow Captain Han and kill the enemy!"

The twenty-three Qiyang guards, including Han Teng, had put life and death aside at the moment, and what they had to do was to let these Yellow Turban soldiers have only one way to enter the city - that is, to step on their corpses.

The shouting of killing gradually rose, the Yellow Turban Army had reached the city, more than a dozen ladders were erected on the city wall, and the thief army wearing yellow turbans climbed up densely one by one.

At the same time, the last batch of rolling stones prepared by Han Teng smashed down from the city tower!

The big red sandalwood bow was opened, and the feather arrows flew out, falling into the hordes of Yellow Turban troops, either dead or wounded!

However, today's Yellow Turban Army is unusually brave, the first one was smashed off the city wall, and the next one was not afraid to climb the Qiyang city wall even if he died.

Soon, on the city wall, there were yellow scarves flying everywhere that betrayed the party.

Han Teng could only draw his sword and fight with all the guards of the city and those Yellow Turban soldiers.

Although Han Teng's hand-to-hand combat skills are far less superb than those of archery, after many years of practicing martial arts, most of these rabble cannot support the strength of a combination under him.

The sword light and sword shadow, the cold light bursts, and the blood is soaring.

Han Teng fought in the crowd, only knowing that his current task was to kill people, and whoever dared to approach him, he would slash at his vital point.

After more than half an hour, Han Teng's physical strength was finally exhausted, and he could no longer support it, a yellow turban general slashed at him with a knife, he couldn't dodge, and was stabbed in the abdomen.

The yellow turban general didn't give him a chance, and in the middle of his eyes, a second knife followed, slashing at his neck.

He knew that if he struck with this sword, he would surely die!

But no matter how hard he was, he could only watch the blade get closer and closer to him.

Could it be that he, Han Teng, is like this, going to die in this Qiyang County?

"Whew-"

It's the sound of iron colliding.

Is something happening? Han Teng didn't know.

His eyes were blurry, his eyes were black, and he lost consciousness.

……

"Far away, far away! Are you awake? ”

Han Teng opened his eyes and saw Qiu Shu with a happy face.

"Master Qiu, have you also arrived at the Netherworld, I'm so happy to see you again." Han Teng stretched the corners of his mouth and barely smiled.

"Bastard!" Qiu Shu brought a porcelain bowl and fed a spoonful of hot soup to Han Teng's mouth: "What a netherworld mansion, we are all still alive, the reinforcements from the government have arrived, you are saved!" ”

"Reinforcements from the government? I heard that the Yingchuan Prefecture army has retreated to Changshe County, and they crossed the river with mud bodhisattvas, how could they divide their troops to save Qiyang? ”

After a few sips of the decoction, Han Teng regained some strength.

"Do you remember the third master of Black Wind Village, Wang Wujiu?"

"Is it the tiger-skinned boy who wanted to rob us that day?"

Qiu Shu nodded, "It was he who led the officers and soldiers to raid from behind the Yellow Turban anti-thieves, and where the elite soldiers passed, the Yellow Turban anti-thieves were defeated, and naturally they had no intention of continuing to attack the city, so they had to flee to the deep mountains to the west. ”

"How could it be him? Master Qiu, you must have recognized the wrong person, he is a bandit. ”

"I will never admit my mistake! I also wonder how he is obviously a bandit from Black Wind Village, but he led the official army to rescue us. ”

Han Teng had doubts in his heart, but he didn't have the energy to think about it, he just struggled to sit up.

"Is it really him?" Han Teng muttered.

"You drink the decoction first." Qiu Shu's spoon was handed over, and Han Teng opened his mouth to drink the medicine.

……

Fifty miles outside the city of Qiyang, the mountain was shaken.

Li Ying led the soldiers on the road did not wait long, and saw Wang Wujiu riding an ox cart from the sheep intestine path on the side of the road, and the sturdy man tied to the ox cart was none other than their commander Cao Cao.

"General Wang, there is labor to send our General Cao back." Li Ying gave up, although he had little time with this young man, his performance on the battlefield had completely convinced him.

"The siege of Qiyang has been lifted, and I am no longer your general, but a bandit who has fallen into the grass in Heifeng Village." Wang Wujiu got down from the ox cart and untied Cao Cao.

"Captain Cao, I have offended a lot, and I ask Captain Du to forgive me."

Cao Cao regained his freedom, his face was cloudy, he did not scold Wang Wujiu, but began to sneer at Li Ying after he got on the horse.

"Since General Li is so polite to this bandit, it is better to defect to them and go to some Black Wind Village, just to be a bandit, and to be an official of the imperial court."

"Captain, subordinates don't dare." Li Ying immediately surrendered his horse to make amends.

"Okay, the Yellow Turban Anti-Thief has not yet been resolved, so I will let you wear the crime and make meritorious service first."

Hearing that Cao Cao did not punish the crime, Li Yingfang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wang Wujiu!"

Just as Wang Wujiu had completed his mission and was about to drive the ox cart back to the village, Cao Cao turned his horse's head and stopped him.

"What's the matter with General Cao?" Wang Wujiu was a little strange.

"Going up the mountain to be a bandit is not a long-term solution after all, if you want to join the army in the future and contribute to my big man, come to Luoyang to find me." Cao Cao's face was still not good, but his words were full of sincerity.

Wang Wujiu got off the ox cart, bowed down to Cao Cao and said, "General Xie Cao!" I think we'll see you again. ”

"Let's go! Drive! Cao Cao didn't speak again, waved his horsewhip, and the group went east along the mountain road.
