Above the sky, the hot air balloon followed the direction of the wind and quickly passed through Guan Yu's advancing army.

The scenery under their feet unfolded in front of Huang Chengyan, Huang Yueying, and Xu Shu, and what also unfolded was the unobstructed ambush under the overlook.

Outside the entire joint venture, there were ambushes everywhere.

It is foreseeable that as long as Guan Yu falls into it, what awaits him will be an endless encirclement... The sheep enters the tiger's mouth, and life and death are unpredictable.

Guan Yu must be stopped.

Can... How shall they tell him that they are in heaven?

For a while, Huang Chengyan and Xu Shu's cheeks were not good-looking, but Huang Yueying suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly opened her mouth, "You can try the trap bird." ”

The bird is a wooden "kite" made by Lu Ban and Mozi during the Warring States Period, this wooden kite usually has its wings contracted, relying on its legs to walk on the ground, the legs are thick and long, it can be strongly supported, it can travel in the swamp, if it encounters an emergency, it can also fly to the sky, and it can fly in the air for three days.

Huang Yueying and Huang Chengyan are both descendants of the Mojia Organ Technique, and they are no strangers to this "Organ Bird".

But if the large trap bird has long been lost, Huang Yueying has only made a small one, which can be guided with a thin wire to control the flight... If the angle is correct, it can accurately land on the ground and communicate with Guan Yu's army.

Of course, this is all theory.

It is extremely difficult to let the trap bird walk in front of Guan Yu.

For example, the hot air balloon has to be further reduced, for example, the precise operation...

Really...

Huang Yueying pursed her lips slightly, "I'm not sure if the trap bird can fly down... However, there is more hope. ”

"You can't just trap the birds." Xu Shu hurriedly interrupted, "Yun Chang's temperament... He wouldn't withdraw his troops until he saw those ambushes with his own eyes, so..."

"I'll draw..."Huang Yueying immediately reacted, "I'll draw a map of the enemy's defenses, and then borrow a bird to bring to General Guan, and ask him to send someone to investigate, once he finds out, he will realize that we are his own people... Will listen to us, it's more useful than anything! ”

As she spoke, Huang Yueying recalled the locations of those bonfires she had written down when she was over the camp last night... Combined with the ambush as far as the eye can see, quickly draw a sketch in the rattan basket.

Xu Shu opened his arms to block the strong wind for Huang Yueying.

When Huang Yueying was about to finish drawing, Xu Shu got up and took a look at the entire battlefield again.

At this time, Guan Yu's army has once again shortened the distance from your Guan family's camp.

Because of the fear of ambush, this army did not move quickly, and even a little cautious.

Hot air balloons are slightly faster than they are.

Of course, these distances are unobstructed in the sky, and it will take a long time to catch up.

At this moment, Xu Shu couldn't care about the "fear of heights" anymore, he looked at the red square on the ground that was still moving, exhaled a long breath, and sighed: "Yun Chang, you must slow down!" ”

…

…

- "Knock, knock. ”

The cavalry team of more than 10,000 people led by Huang Zhong became more and more roaring, like thunder.

There is an ambush ahead to get around.

There are pursuers to shake off.

Under this extreme rush, each knight's face was solemn and resolute in the face of the strong wind, and they were the most elite team drawn from the original troops of the Lu Jiajun, the Nanyang Army, and Guan Lin.

They did not form this cavalry contingent for long.

Can cavalry... Always a symbol of glory.

Some of them are crossbowmen and carry crossbows on their backs...

Their hearts were pounding, and sweat was soaking through their armor.

But every knight did not dare to stop the horse's hooves, did not dare to slow down, they knew that their rescue operation this time, only fast to the extreme, in order to achieve the mission!

"General, intercepted a letter from the enemy in the direction of Shinno Castle."

Along the way, a scout caught up with Huang Zhong and reported the contents of the letterhead.

"It's not good—"

Huang Zhong's expression changed suddenly, and the surrounding cadres and soldiers didn't even dare to breathe when they saw the appearance of General Huang.

At this time, Huang Zhong groaned heavily: "They actually want to storm Xinye City..."

The sudden change in the actions of the Wei army suddenly cast a thick haze on Huang Zhong's heart.

"Pass my military order, a little faster... Before dusk, you must rush to Shinno Castle! ”

"Whew... Whoa..."

…

…

Pound stood outside the north gate of Xinye City.

At the beginning, when the Wei army evacuated Xinye City, in addition to giving an empty city to Guan Ping and Guan Xing.

There are also crumbling city gates, and the three gates of Shinno Castle have almost no resistance at all, and they collapse when they collide.

Counting up, today... It was the fifth day of this sudden change.

There is no food in Shinno Castle, and the whole situation is becoming more and more unfavorable.

In fact, Pound's heart was also clouded, especially when he thought of his four sons who died tragically in the barracks, under the fire of ten thousand crossbows, this... It always makes him feel sad in his heart.

Pound is not young anymore, and he may not be able to have a son at such an age.

From this point of view, four sons died at once, which is digging the roots of his old Pang family!

On the side, Pang De's lieutenant general, Qin Lang, the son of Qin Yilu, the first green hat man of the Three Kingdoms, quickly returned to Pang De's side and opened his mouth after seeing a messenger: "General Pang, it is General Wenyuan's military order, and he ordered the siege of the city. ”

Hearing this order to "siege the city"...

Pang De was taken aback and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it besieging the city to send reinforcements?" Why did you suddenly let the siege again? ”

Qin Lang said: "What the messenger said is also evil, saying that Guan Lin sent an army, inexplicably bypassed the ambush of Hanshui, and galloped along the Baihe River to Xinye, with more than 10,000 people, all of them were cavalry..."

"Cavalry?" Pang De was a little surprised, "When did Guan Lin's thief have so many cavalry?" ”

"What's even more mysterious is that this cavalry not only bypassed the ambush of Hanshui, but also bypassed all the ambushes along the Baihe River, which is even more unbelievable and evil."

As Qin Lang spoke, he felt that his words were quite unreliable, it was incredible.

Pang De groaned for a while, because he mentioned Guan Lin, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and said hatefully: "Guan Lin, the evil thief, has there been no incredible things?" ”

For a moment, Pound thought of a million crossbow arrows falling from the sky in an hour.

This...

Qin Lang didn't expect Pang De to become so angry all of a sudden.

Speaking of which, Qin Lang's father Qin Yilu was only given green by the lord Cao Cao, not killed, and now Qin Lang's mother, Mrs. Du, gave birth to two half-brothers Cao Lin and Cao Gon to Qin Lang.

So...

Qin Lang can understand the pain of his biological father when he was green, but he can't understand the pain of losing a loved one like Pound.

He could only ask tentatively: "General... Are we still attacking the city? Seem... There are still more than 4,000 remnants of the Guan family in Xinye City, although they are out of food, but... In the previous temptation, their arrows were still sufficient, and they thought it was a hard bone. ”

Qin Lang didn't want to attack the city, because he was thinking, if it took two more days, he would starve to death this group of Guan family soldiers!

It's just that at this time, Pound's eyes were condensed and his tone was cold.

"Attack? Why don't you attack? ”

"Isn't it just a hard bone?"

While he groaned, he thought of the pain of losing his son, and Pound's heart was crossed, and a poisonous plan under hatred jumped out. "Come on, drive over the 1,000 wounded soldiers of the Guan family who have been captured during this time!"

At this moment, Pang De's eyes were full of fierce light, "Isn't the Jingzhou army good at bows and crossbows?" General Ben will see if this Guan family army will shoot arrows at their comrades? ”

"Hmph, haha... Hum! Hahahaha! ”

Pound's laughter was mixed with a thick "cold snort", and he looked like a devil who had fallen into the abyss.

…

…

The walls of Shinno Castle are almost three zhang, and the situation of the city gate is closed and seen, but it is not reliable at all.

So, Guan Ping and the Guan family sergeants piled up many heavy objects at the city gate, barely supporting the crumbling city gate.

On the tower of the city today, thousands of Guan family soldiers draw bows and arrows... Timber and stones are ready to fend off enemy attacks.

As early as three days ago, Guan Ping ordered Xiao Hu to distribute grain, and the consequence of this was that the soldiers could not eat enough, but... If this is not the case, the military rations that you carry with you for three days will not survive the moment when the support arrives.

Of course...

In today's situation? Will there be support?

It's a mystery!

"Ugh..."

Guan Ping looked at the enemy army that surrounded Xinye City, and looked at the incomparably bright banner of "Pang" in the enemy's military tent.

It was the banner of Wei General Pound.

Guan Ping knew that their Guan Jiajun and Pang De had a murderous enmity, and I was afraid that this battle would not be good.

"Big brother, it's all my fault... Because of me, the entire Guan family army has lost so much, big brother, you can punish me, kill me. ”

It was Guan Xing who spoke...

He lowered his head, looking annoyed, he was too... is also greedy, or rather, he... He is envious and jealous of the fourth brother.

Either way, he shouldn't... It should not have acted privately, causing the protection of the entire Guanjia army to collapse overnight.

It's just that...

Guan Xing's voice just came out, and with a "snap", Guan Ping slapped him in the face.

"What's the use of talking about it now?" Guan Ping said coldly: "You are guilty of disobeying military discipline, and I am also guilty of connivance, how many comrades have you and my negligence killed Guan Jiajun?" How many discrete homes are there behind these comrades? I... I... Alas... If it weren't for my side, because of these comrades in this Xinye City who were implicated by you and me, I would have apologized a long time ago... Call... Whew..."

Even though this is the umpteenth time Guan Xing has pleaded guilty, Guan Ping's attitude is still the same.

They are both sinners!

Guan Ping has slapped Guan Xing countless times...

But, to send him down?

How did Guan Ping fall?

How does one sinner punish another?

"Alas... Don't talk about this during this time, if you have this kung fu, think about how to break out..."Guan Ping sighed again, "When the breakthrough goes out, when the time comes, you and I will plead guilty in front of my father, and if you want to kill or chop, it's all up to your father!" ”

This...

Guan Ping's words made Guan Xing more and more ashamed, he seemed to have foreseen that no matter what... How, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape this responsibility, and he won't be able to escape the guilt of dying!

After Guan Ping's words, the entire city tower fell into a deathly silence.

In fact, during this time, why haven't they broken through?

The enemy will be Pound!

The enemy was several times outnumbered, and they were lying in ambush in the woods outside the city, and those arrows were fired... Guan Jiajun could only be forced back again and again.

Ben still had 6,000 soldiers, and after two breakouts, only 4,000 remained, and half were wounded.

Every day, a comrade falls...

This made Guan Ping's mood very unpleasant, he sang and looked at the sky that was dark again, he sighed deeply, now, there are not many cards in his hand that can be played.

The sky is getting dark, and everything is silent.

Suddenly, a few hundred meters away from the city gate, a black shadow the size of an ant appeared, and it was quickly running towards Xinye City.

They wept and shouted, and wails echoed through the land!

"It's Guan Jiajun's people—"

"It's those in the Guan family army who were captured by the Cao army—"

Suddenly, someone on the castle tower exclaimed.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall looked at each other, and with the faint torches on the city tower, everyone could see nearly a thousand tattered Guan family soldiers, running towards the city gate as if they were dying.

Say yes... Sergeant of the Guan family, is not accurate.

Because, no matter what army it is, in addition to the soldiers, there will be such a wave of people, these people are responsible for laundry, cooking, cleaning, cleaning, these people are responsible for pushing grain and grass... Responsible for the renovation of the barracks.

In history, when Liu Bei fought the battle of Hanzhong, the entire Bashu was "men's battle, women's luck", and the "luck" here is the entire logistics...

Now, what appears under the city tower is the logistics personnel in the Guan family's army, to be precise, they are not soldiers, they are just laborers and coolies in the barracks...

It is the personnel who serve the entire Guan family army...

And they, unfettered, were the most cowardly and weak people on the entire battlefield, who were captured at the hands of Pound... But inexplicably, Pound chose to let them go.

They ran like crazy to Shinno Castle...

As they got closer and closer, Guan Ping could see that their expressions were very panicked and painful, mixed with a hint of joy at the tiger's mouth, at least... Go to Shinno Castle, that... Then they will be safe.

"General Guan, we are the labor of the Guan family's army, don't let go of arrows... Don't let the arrows go..."

"Let's go in, open the gates, let us in!"

…

"Big brother..."

Guan Xing looked at Guan Ping, and all the soldiers also looked at Guan Ping.

But Guan Ping looked solemn, took his bow and arrows, and shot straight at a dark corner.

This arrow brought all logistical labor to a halt.

The entire team that rushed up stopped moving for a moment.

"This son of the Guan family is quite vigilant..."

A voice came out, it was Qin Lang's voice, and this voice also made the faces of the soldiers on the city wall change.

It turned out that behind the logistics of these Guanjia troops, taking advantage of the night, thousands of Wei troops had already touched a place less than 100 meters away from the city wall. Let them go, that... It is very likely that these hidden Wei troops will rush to the city, crash open the crumbling city gate, and avoid the rain of arrows from the Guan army.

"Release the arrows..."Guan Ping looked at the distance and ordered the arrows to be released, and for a while, thousands of arrows were fired, and pieces of arrows fell in front of these teams that were mixed with the logistics of the Guan family army and the Wei army.

Guan Ping's voice roared like a tiger, "No matter who it is?" Dare to take another step forward, the arrow has no eyes. ”

At this moment, Guan Ping's eyes were slightly cold, and there were green tendons bursting out from his forehead, obviously angry, he had followed his father Guan Yu to fight for many years, and this little trick of Wei Jun couldn't escape his eyes.

Over the years, Cao Cao lamented the suffering of the people, chanting "white bones are exposed in the wilderness, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles", while letting the Wei army catch up with the captured people and captives to the battlefield...

If the enemy fires arrows, the first people and captives will die, and these civilians and captives can bring the Wei army much closer to the city.

If the soldiers in the city go out to the rescue, then... It is easy to fall into an ambush, and the city will also be taken by the enemy.

Such a method is very much in line with Cao Cao's sentence "Rather teach me to bear the world, Hugh let the world bear me"...

Of course...

If the soldiers in the city do not come out, or continue to fire arrows.

That's easy, Cao Jun will whip these people and prisoners in front of the defenders of the city, let them continue to come forward and act as a meat shield, or torture these prisoners outside the city in front of the defenders...

The behavior is outrageous, and it is difficult to write about it.

It was precisely with this in mind that although the first wave of captives was blocked, Guan Ping's face was as ugly as ever.

"Pass on my military order, no matter who reaches the range, kill him!"

Guan Ping said coldly.

"What?" Guan Xing... There were other generals who were confused and did not understand the meaning of this military order.

Although the soldiers under the city are not the sergeants of the Guan family's army, the logistics labor is also the same glory and loss as the Guan's army, right?

Don't wait for them to question it...

Soon, the situation changed again.

More than 100 Wei cavalry began to rush towards these captives in a rage...

"Run!"

Accompanied by a cry of horror and screams.

The captives scattered and ran in the opposite direction as hard as they could, but... How can you outrun a war horse with only two legs?

How could Pang De let them go so easily, Cao Cao was ruthless, and Pang De, who lived in Guanzhong, was even more like steel.

"Go on, drive away—"

I only heard his faint command, and as soon as the sound of the drums changed, a group of Wei cavalry formed a wild goose array, surrounded these people in the middle, and drove them in the direction of Xinye City...

They brandished long whips on horseback, and when they saw someone who wanted to escape, they struck them so hard that their skin and flesh burst open, and they screamed again and again.

These logistical prisoners of the Guan family army ... They don't want to rush in the direction of Shinno Castle.

They know... What it means to rush through.

Shoot arrows and they die!

If you don't let go of the arrows, the city will be broken, and the Guan family army will die!

It's a dilemma...

Can... There was no mercy in the eyes of those Wei Qi, and if there were disobedient ones, they directly put a rope around their necks, and then dragged them forward with a fierce clamp on the horse's belly.

This is how a captive fell to the ground, and then was dragged upside down, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the terrible screams stimulated everyone, and also stimulated every Guan family sergeant on the city tower.

These... It's also a comrade!

…

"These brutes!"

Guan Xing can't bear it... I can't wait to use the Qinglong Sword to kill it and rescue these comrades.

"How many more times are you going to be impulsive?" Guan Ping said hatefully: "You forgot this time... Is it because of your impulsiveness that they become captives and are tortured by the enemy? ”

For a while, the soldiers of the Guan family, who were originally eager to try, were silent together...

Without Guan Ping's order, no one dared to act rashly.

Because, they know, at this time, soft-heartedness will only make them themselves prisoners of the enemy.

Then the next time they go on the battlefield, they will be the ones who are tormented under the castle!

- "This... This..."

- "It's... What a desperate battlefield?'

…
