I'm Liu Bei.

In the middle of the night, the wind was strong, there was no moon, the stars were sparse, and the whole earth was shrouded in a solemn gloom.

In the east of the city, a group of five of us stopped to look.

In front of you is the east gate of the castle. From a distance, the tall towers look like skulls protruding from the flat ground, looking down on the city and devouring the darkness around them. The walls on both sides of the tower are like open and thin arms, extending into the darkness, which makes people feel frightened.

"Don't think about it, wear yellow scarves, if you can attack the city tonight, it's a move." I pulled the yellow scarf out of my underwear and said as I threw it at each of the four of them.

I stretched my yellow scarf in my hand, took a sharp breath of cool air, and then brutally tied it on my head. shouted: "When you get to the city gate, adapt to the situation." With a whip in his hand, he rode his horse and galloped to the east gate.

Time seemed to be fast in the darkness, and it didn't take a few whips to reach the moat in front of the east gate. I reined in and stopped my horse, its hooves hanging high, with a neighing, and stopped on the water's edge, only one step from the moat.

Now the whole city is a dark and eerie underworld, hiding deadly murderous intentions: the rebels can shoot arrows from the upper floors at any time, and kill the five of us with thousands of arrows through the heart.

Torches suddenly lit up on the wall above the gate, followed by a childish rebuke: "Who is under the city?" ”

I swallowed my nervous spit, and replied in a loud voice: "General Rengong has an urgent military order, open the city gate quickly." ”

"It's the herald of the general." The childish voice became a little quieter, as if it was reporting to someone else.

"You ask if there are any arrows." From the voice, it was a middle-aged man, who was sleepy.

"Is there a general's arrow?" The immature voice sounded, it should have asked me.

Wang Lao Wu and the other four looked at me, and their eyes seemed to say what to do.

"It's urgent, I didn't bring an arrow." I still replied in a loud voice, thinking that this was miserable, and I must not be able to open the city gate.

"If you don't have an arrow, then wait until dawn." The voice was that of the middle-aged man.

"The situation is urgent, please forgive me brother or two." Wang Lao Wu said urgently.

"Grandpa said, if you don't have an arrow, please wait." The voice turned back to childishness.

"What should I do?" Ting Baihu asked softly, and he was very impatient when he heard it.

"Don't worry, I'll come." I motioned for him not to panic. "Bold!" I shouted angrily. "The Youzhou battlefield suddenly changed, and General Rengong urgently ordered the army to be mobilized. Will you be responsible for delaying the fighter plane? ”

"Youzhou battlefield mutation?" The middle-aged man repeated.

"The little doorman dared to block the general's orders. This is a major crime of the nine clans, and if you open the door quickly, you will not care. Otherwise, it is a sin of death! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chaotic sound of things toppling over the castle tower. Then came a panicked voice: "Later, the herald will open the door, and this will open the door." ”

Wang Lao Wu and others cast admiring glances. How did they know that I was in a cold sweat on my hands? Ting Baihu leaned into my ear and whispered a word: "Cai." ”

In a few moments, the drawbridge was lowered, and the gate creaked open, emitting a yellowish glow. From the crack, a human head tied in a yellow scarf first stretched out, looked around, and then pushed half of the door and walked in, slowly revealing half of the light. It was a ragged boy who pushed the door. Now he was standing on the sidelines and watching us.

"When to do it?" Qiu Ming asked in a low voice.

"Let's go in first."

I drove my horse into the city, feeling a pang of nervousness. If Zhang Fei doesn't follow up and attack the city soon, the four of us will have nowhere to go, which is really dangerous.

It's all my fault, I'm too anxious, if I wait for Zhang Fei to ambush outside the city and then come to cheat the door. It's useless to regret it now. I had to use all my strength to wait.

On both sides of the castle, large iron pots were set up on wooden frames to hold dry firewood, and high flames were lit, and the surrounding area was very bright. A middle-aged man with unkempt hair wrapped in a yellow scarf walked out quickly, and arched his hand: "Humble East City Gate Officer." Just slack, slack. Please order your Excellency not to take it to heart, it is also the duty of humiliation, please forgive me this time. He spoke with a very sincere expression.

I dismounted and said, "Okay." "In order to wait for Zhang Fei to arrive, I have to stall for time. He walked around and said angrily: "Your city defense is also a child's play, aren't there any other brothers around?" What if the Han army attacked the city? ”

The officials of the East City Gate arched their hands and said with a smile: "The Han army of Youzhou is difficult to protect itself, and it will not come here to attack the city." So it's enough to have the two of us. ”

I became a grandfather in middle age, which is really fast

Since he is so afraid of me, let me apply to the situation in his city, so that I can know myself and the enemy. "That's right. In a few days, the entire Youzhou will be the world of General Tiangong. I came to give the order this time, which is to transfer troops to the north and be the vanguard of the 100,000-strong army of General Rengong. Let me ask you, do you know how many men and horses in the city will be mobilized by General Rengong this time? ”

"Humble and foolish, how can you guess it."

"I have to guess it, otherwise, I will have to return to General Rengong truthfully about what happened just now." I pretend to be a cross-handed way.

The eastward officer was stunned for a moment, probably thinking that I was deliberately making things difficult for him. "Since the lord has given the order, he will dare to guess, and if it is not right, please teach him. There are 2,000 brothers in the city, and 20,000 brothers stationed in the west city, so—"

The doorman stopped at this point, staring at me with wide eyes. Our eyes met, and I felt like he was aware of something. His eyes showed a hint of horror: "Ma Dashuai has been in the camp in Xicheng and never stays in the city overnight, you are not the herald, who are you?" ”

"Ahh The east gatekeeper screamed. It turned out that Zhang Defu saw that he was suspicious, and picked up a knife to chop him down.

"Grandpa!" The ragged boy standing by the door shouted, running to the side, apparently to call someone. Wang Lao caught up with him in five steps, cut it down with a knife, blood splattered on the high wall, and the young man fell to the ground.

Watching the boy being killed, I didn't feel the slightest touch in my heart. I found that I had changed. became cold-blooded, and even more bloodthirsty.

Hopefully his shouting didn't wake the others. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble. Qiu Ming said worriedly.

"I can't care so much about it. I'll go and cover up the gates, and you will deal with the scene. "I walked briskly to close the door. Occasionally, I felt a voice coming from the front of the door. When I looked closely, I could already hear the hurried horses' hooves dense like spring rain. Wang Laowu, Zhang Defu, Qiu Ming, and Ting Baihu also heard the sound and rushed over together to take a closer look.

The sound of the horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and gradually thundered like a thunderous roar.

"Quick, go with me!" The shout drowned out all the hooves of the horses. It's all too familiar to me. It was Zhang Fei's voice.
