He should have shouted, or raised his arms, but there was nothing in his stupid mind.

His brain was boiling, too!

He was bare-handed, and nothing could confront these soldiers defending the city, but, however, Huai'an City was only an earthen city, and the female wall was only three feet high!

When the soldier pushed the stone to the wall and was about to smash it down, he himself stood by the female wall!

When this Huai'an man stretched out his hands and pushed the soldier off the city wall with all his might, neither the guards of Huai'an City nor Yu Ban, who was gathering his troops and horses and preparing to return to Huai'an, did not expect that this city could finally be recaptured by Liu Beijun, and the turning point was not in Lu Lian's sword, not in Guan Yu's elite soldiers, but in a ragged man who didn't even know a word.

But how is this possible?

That's a person as insignificant as dirt.

Chapter 267

This kind of thing is not bizarre for the Yanzhou army, but it is very surprising to them.

They were an iron-clad legion that conquered the land, taking away wealth and exploits, leaving behind mountains of corpses, including peasants killed as they passed through villages, and travelers killed as they crossed dirt roads. This was necessary in order to cover up the traces of the passing of the soldiers and horses, and to prevent the locals from fleeing into the enemy camp to report the news.

In addition, the general will also lead them to capture one or several cities, and let them plunder on a large scale, but because Cao Gong has many Qingzhou soldiers in addition to them, and those Qingzhou soldiers are very greedy in plundering cities, so the Yanzhou people are quite complaining about those Yellow Turban remnants.

They felt that they were far more merciful in killing than the butchers, and although some of them died because they were brutally driven to renovate the city defenses, wasn't it because they were weak and died themselves? They didn't do it themselves!

Huai'an City is temporarily in their possession, they need the labor of this city, and they will definitely not start slaughtering the people right now - so why did those ragged things suddenly go crazy?

But just as they were surprised, the man finally shouted—"Downtown! The generals under the city! ”

The people of Yanzhou suddenly realized, and the soldier who fell into the city rushed over, pulled out the ring knife on his waist, and stabbed this man in the chest!

This is nothing more than a madman, but it is not surprising, after all, in the long war, these soldiers have seen all kinds of people behave in a desperate moment of recklessness, impulsiveness, madness and stupidity.

He thought that the "General Guan" under the city could save him from fire and water, but when the general returned, even "General Guan" would be unable to protect himself!

When the Yanzhou soldier pulled the ring-head knife out of the man's chest, he stepped forward and gave another kick.

The man had not yet swallowed his breath, only a pair of eyes were open, and his mouth was "ho-ho" to say something, but blood foam had already come out of his mouth.

In this way, he was kicked from behind the women's wall and fell headfirst on the soldier he had pushed down before.

The Xuzhou soldiers who were climbing the city wall noticed this scene, but this scene was not the end of this little chaos, but the beginning -

Behind the female walls of that earthen city, someone was shouting something.

The drums of war in the city were noisy, the golden cymbals under the city were roaring, people were screaming everywhere, there were people screaming everywhere, there was the sound of stones falling on the mountain of corpses, there was the sound of flesh being pierced by sharpened bamboo poles in the trench, there was the sound of boiling water pouring down, and there was also the sound of arrows breaking through the air when bending bows and shooting arrows.

On this battlefield, every voice is painful, every voice is desperate.

But the sound behind that female wall is different!

Someone was shouting, "General Guan! General Guan is here! ”

General Guan is here!

At first it was one person shouting, then it seemed to become a lot of people, then it was mixed with screams and fighting, and in a short time another soldier was pushed off the wall!

"General! Look! ”

Guan Yu, who was supervising the battle, also realized something and set his eyes on the city wall.

He was still a little stunned, because how could the bare-handed people compete with these Yanzhou soldiers?

How dare they?!

Soon some people were left behind.

One.

Two.

Three.

Some were thrown down in blood, but perhaps it was a mercy, because some were pushed straight down, fell into the trench, or broke their necks, or nailed their thighs to bamboo poles, and screamed at the bottom of the pit, one after another.

This is the silent ridicule of the Yanzhou people.

Every one of the people who died is more qualified to stay here than they are, because their ancestors were born here, grew up here, and will be buried here when they die.

Huaiyin is their homeland! Not only Huaiyin, from the beginning of Langya to the end of Guangling, Xuzhou, which is an enemy on all three sides, is their homeland!

Guan Yu watched in silence at every inch of the battle on the city wall, silently watching the short and bloody rebellion being quickly suppressed, and he suddenly jumped off his horse.

"General?"

The tall Northland man tightened his wrists and adjusted his helmet.

"Withdraw those Jizhou soldiers," he said, "and change them to Xuzhou soldiers." ”

"Yes!"

"And," he said, gesturing to his retinue with a variety of weapons, and shaking his head in disapproval, "don't take a lance." ”

"The general doesn't want to take the lance? That's ......"

"Take that pair of halberds, and a short blade," Guan Yu slightly adjusted the belt of the head knife around his waist, "I'll go first." ”

It is impossible to win this war by relying on the rebellion of a dozen, or even dozens of people, even if they are armed with weapons, they cannot defeat those experienced Yanzhou soldiers, not to mention that they are bare-handed and defenseless?

This confusion attracted the attention of Guan Yu's soldiers, and in a short time caused a small piece of the city wall to be almost lost, but the Yanzhou soldiers immediately recaptured the wall, and dozens of corpses were piled up under the city.

Other than that, everything seemed to be calm, the soldiers not only killed the rebellious people, but also lashed and scolded the honest people at the other city gates, and those people returned to their cowardly appearance, even if they were whipped and bloodied, even if they were so painful that they wailed and rolled in the mud, they still did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary under the blades of the Yanzhou soldiers.

But this turmoil still brought a terrible problem - those people may have been obedient, they may still be rebellious, but they are just dormant for the time being, just waiting for the time to come, and they will continue to cause chaos on the city walls and welcome those Xuzhou soldiers to the top of the city, how to judge this? If the judgment is wrong and the spy is allowed to climb the city wall, who can bear such responsibility?!

If Yu Ban is in the city, he will immediately make a decision - those people are just being bullied and oppressed fiercely, and they rebel for a while, with no one to lead or respond, there is nothing to be afraid of, the immediate urgency is still to defend the city, only to repel Guan Yu's attack, only to ensure that this city is not lost, all this is meaningful!

However, Yu Ban was not in the city, and the generals defending the city could only ask those people to put the materials under the city wall, and the soldiers themselves would slowly pick up the wooden rolling stones, firewood and water, one load after another.

Such work was tiring and tedious, and as long as Guan Yu was still besieging the city, the soldiers would not have a moment to rest.

Thousands of Yanzhou troops had to be both soldiers guarding the city and civilians carrying supplies, and the troops were quickly overstretched, but at this moment, the main general on the opposite side came out of battle.

Guan Yu looked at these Xuzhou soldiers who had been dispatched from the rear army, "I don't have any orders to give to you!" But there is a command that you must remember! ”

"General!"

"If I die in battle today, it is not a pity to die! The common people can still live and die lightly, and the husband is alive, what is there to fear! Guan Yu said sharply, "You just need to plant the flag on the city!" So that the world will know that Huaiyin will return! ”

"Huaiyin returns!"

"Xuzhou returns!"

The soldiers' eyes turned red in an instant! This is their home, their city! Those people who resist in vain, almost ridiculously, are their neighbors!

When the banner waved, the soldiers once again carried the ladder and roared towards the city that was already covered in blood!

Today, the general is the first to arrive!

Everyone wants to be the first!

They braved the rain of arrows, the rolling stones and trees, the foul-smelling boiling water and the raging flames, and at the end of the long ladder was the encroached homeland, the desecrated homeland!

When the first soldier to climb the city finally waited for the second and third comrades to climb up, this small position, which was besieged on three sides, once again became the focus of the Yanzhou soldiers.

But in such a chaotic battlefield where the soldiers are in close contact and the sword fights for their lives, there is still a strange scene-

Some of the Yanzhou soldiers fought with them on the city wall, and these soldiers were very well equipped with weapons, which was a normal combat state; However, there are still some Yanzhou soldiers who are desperately running towards the enemy, while still unloading the firewood they are carrying behind their backs, throwing the buckets they are carrying aside, and even some soldiers pushing the rolling stones slowly upward drop the rolling stones in a panic and run up to meet the enemy, so the soldiers behind them are also smashed on their heads and bleeding.

…… These Yanzhou soldiers are all well-trained elite soldiers, so why do they have to set aside a part of them to do such labor?

Guan Yu, who was in the midst of the scuffle, glanced at it from afar, and the confusion in his heart was still incomprehensible.

But as the besieging soldiers climbed more and more of the walls, the defenders quickly made a decision, and the whole army quickly withdrew from the north gate!

It is never possible to storm a city on all sides, and there is always one wall that bears most of the pressure, and the rest of the gates are much lighter.

If he escapes now, he can still escape, but if he waits for the besieging soldiers and horses to get off the city wall and surround him in all directions, he may not be able to fly if he wants to escape.

…… But if he continues to defend to the death, will he be able to drive the Xuzhou soldiers off the city wall again?

It's a question that will never be answered.

When the Yanzhou people quickly and maintained a full lineup to evacuate Huai'an City, Guan Yu looked extremely embarrassed.

The beautiful bearded man who cherished his face, especially his beard, sat at the head of the city and touched his beard, which had been teased by the fire and therefore exuded a burnt smell.

Compared to this, his face was covered with ash and blood.

"What about the flag bearers?" The big man sat at the head of the city and shouted in a rough voice, "Where are the flag bearers?!" ”

"General! The villain is coming! Here it comes! ”

"What are you doing here!" Although Guan Yu shouted loudly, he was not angry at all, "Quickly plant the flag on the city!" ”

"Yes!"

Under the golden wuxi, it seems that a heavy rain has just been experienced in the distance, and the clouds have not yet dispersed, and they are ignited by the light of the setting sun in an instant, paving thousands of miles of red clouds.

Just under the burning half of the sky, the banner of the word "Guan" was replanted at the head of the city.

"Will they know?" There were weary soldiers looking at the flag and carefully asking each other, "Are they literate?" ”

"That's General Guan's banner? They're back?! A child hiding in the forest quietly poked his head out, looked carefully, wiped his eyes, "They're back!" ”

"From the Father, from the Father?" A young man's voice trembled, shaking his uncle, who was dependent on each other, "Look! You see! We won! We won! We can go home! ”

The rain in the muddy forest stopped.

Yu Ban's soldiers and horses did not go fast, he needed to maintain his lineup of 2,000 soldiers, although Cao Xiu was ordered to break off and drag Zhang Liao's cavalry, but Yu Ban was not a reckless person, he always had to be ready to deal with Zhang Liao's pursuit.

However, this journey is about to come to an end, as long as he returns to Huai'an City, as long as the defenders in the city come out to greet him, he can merge with the defenders, repel Guan Yu first, and then calmly enter the city to rest.

When the outline of Huai'an City finally slowly emerged from under the burning clouds, the pungent smell of blood and fire wafted from the wind.

…… It wasn't from the corpses in the city.

…… It was floating from the group of centaurs coming from afar!

The expression on Yu Ban's face froze for a moment.

…… That was a partial general he valued very much, and he was entrusted with the important task of defending the city, and he would never rashly go out of the city to meet him surrounded by such a strong enemy!

"Why did you get out of town?!" Yu Ban looked at his expression and immediately understood, "Huai'an has been lost?" ”
