Guan Hai said morosely, "Bo Qi, why don't you take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and break this Nanyang army first?"

Guan Hai really dared to say that with only 700 stragglers, he wanted to shake the 3,000 Nan Yang official troops.

Ma Yue looked gloomy and said in a gloomy voice: "Pass the order, put the horses on, drive into the forest on the left and hide, no one is allowed to speak, those who disobey the order will be executed immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao agreed and went to follow the order, immediately the 800 stragglers hid in the dense woods on the left under the cover of the night, at this time, the snow fell more tightly, only a few moments, the footprints left by the 800 stragglers on the snow gradually faded.

A few miles east of the dense forest, on the wide and flat official road, Huang Zhong is leading 3,000 official troops southward overnight, because it is determined that Ma Yue's 800 stragglers have already passed Suixian County and are already a hundred miles away, so Huang Zhong just pushes his troops to advance, and does not even send out scouts to check the enemy's situation on the road. In fact, Huang Zhong does not think that Ma Yue's 800 stragglers will turn around and go north to ambush the official army halfway, and even Huang Zhong would like Ma Yue to do so.

Under the dim glow of the torches, the 3,000-strong army roamed the official road like a tidal wave, instantly drowning out the faint footprints left by the 800 stragglers, and hardly anyone noticed the slightest break. Only a junior soldier spotted the shallow footprints turning from the official road to the dense forest, and was eager to stop and take a closer look when the officer's whip had already landed unceremoniously on his back.

"Move it, boy, don't try to be lazy!"

The little soldier grunted in pain and hurriedly quickened his pace to follow, not bothering with that idle matter.

The official army drove through a full half hour before the 800 stragglers turned out of the dense forest and rejoined the official road, and Guan Hai said with awe, "Bo Qi, can we always hit the torch now? Look, many of our men have fallen and swollen, and their horses are lame."

"No!" Ma Yue refused Guan Hai and said, "Tell the men that if they break one leg, they should hop on one foot, if they break two legs, they should crawl, if they even break their arms, they should go with their heads." "In a word, no torches to expose the target!"

"Yes, sir!" Guan Hai roared sternly, "No torches to expose the target."

Pei Yuan Shao echoed, and asked in a low voice, "Bo Qi, what do you mean by target?"

Ma Yue took a deep breath of cold air and said sternly, "The whole army will open up and run to ...... Fuyang!"

Ma Yue finally made up his mind, as the saying goes, the arrow is on the string and has to be sent, things have come to this point, there is no turning back the arrow, even if there are 2,000 official troops left in Fuyang, he has to take his chances! At this time, then want to turn around and go south to Jiangxia has been too late, a bad will also fall into the South Yang soldiers surrounded by the north and south, then it is completely finished!

Now is not like the time of Jing Mountain. In the battle of Jing Mountain, Qin Jie and Nanyang soldiers were too gullible to give the 800 stragglers a chance to take advantage of the situation, now after several battles, Qin Jie and Nanyang soldiers will never make such a low-level mistake again.

Now, the only way out is to take Fuyang by surprise and completely knock Qin Jie and Nanyang soldiers out, so that they can't figure out where the 800 stragglers are, how many of them there are and where they are going. Then when the Nanyang soldiers rush to kill back to Fuyang from Sui County, then they will unexpectedly run south to attack Jiangxia.

At that time, the Nanyang soldiers who were completely dazed by the false reality will no longer be able to judge the real purpose of the eight hundred stragglers, will no longer dare to act rashly, and can only watch the eight hundred stragglers go away in the dust. This ...... is Ma Yue borrowed from a great man in later times four cross the Red River to come up with a brilliant plan, real is false, false is real, first run back and forth a few trips to mobilize the enemy, and then a flurry of fists, and the enemy was dizzy when he did not know what to do, he had already left calmly.

......

Fuyang city north, Zou Jing high above the city tower.

The snow is falling sharply, the soldiers on guard on the city tower has become a snow sculpture, Zou Jing look far away, only to see sporadic torches from the northern horizon winding, faintly interspersed with the sound of chaotic people, a team of more than 500 people are coming hard towards Fuyang City.

Zou Jing's eyes reveal a cold killing machine, whispering: "Lower the flags and extinguish the torches! No one is allowed to make a sound, and no arrows are allowed to be fired without my order!"

Zou Jing's orders flowed down, soon, the flag lowered, torches extinguished, the north city tower into a darkness, from the outside of the city far look, like a dead city, lifeless.

......

Zhou Cang forcefully inhaled a mouthful of cold air, the slightest coolness let his hot chest became comfortable.

The killing of a thousand swords of Guan Hai, since the last fire and he was seriously injured, the injury has not been healed, later with more than a thousand brothers desperately to highlight the siege, and only dare to pick the deep mountain escape, has not been able to find a doctor to cure, and now ...... injuries gradually have a tendency to worsen.

Fortunately, the front is Fuyang, Liu Yan is in Ma Yue army, her medical skills in Nanyang Yellow Turban Army is quite famous, even if he Zhou Cang and Guan Hai old grudges, but for the sake of the Yellow Turban at the same time, will not see the dead, right? Poor more than a thousand brothers, freezing to death, starving to death, by now only 500 people left, that died more than 500 brothers is no longer alive.

Zhou Cang looked back, the torch's faint light shone on more than 500 men, the original lively brothers are now like a homeless beggar, description of wretched, face with vegetables, many people are not covered, in the cold wind and snow shivering, looking back at the scenery, look at the miserable now, Zhou Cang eyes can not help but swept a trace of gloom.

Zhou Cang's simple mind could not understand why things had turned out to be like this.

Fortunately, Fuyang has arrived, to Fuyang, is home, even if Ma Yue is not willing to take him Zhou Cang, but behind this more than 500 brothers he will always take it.

Zhou Cang raised his head and shouted to the dark and dreary city tower: "Listen carefully to the brothers on the city tower, I am Zhou Cang, the tooth general under Marshal Zhang of Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, and I am leading 500 brothers to join us.

"Open the gates, I'm hungry, give us something to eat."

"Please, I'm freezing to death, open the gate."

Behind Zhou Cang, more than 500 yellow turban remnants have gathered around, gathered at the city gate under the drawbridge to the guards on the city tower begging, a time, wailing into a sound, the scene, really hear the sad, see the tears.

......

The city tower, Zou Jing is the gaze like a knife, a hideous expression, suddenly clanked the sword, sternly shouted: "fire, release arrows!"

In a flash, the torches on the city head is bright, long nest under the women's wall waiting for hundreds of archers long body up, open bow like the full moon, sharp feather arrows have been aimed at the city tower stunned at the yellow turban remnants of soldiers, and then "buzz" "buzz" sound into a piece. Hundreds of wolf tooth feather arrows have been poured down.

"Uhhh~~"

"Oh my god, kill all our own people?"

"No! ......"

"Help~~"

"My eyes, ah~"

The mournful howls from the city tower under the night rang out, in a flash there are more than a hundred defenseless yellow turban bandits fell under the rain of arrows, standing in the forefront of the tall Zhou Cang just became the best target, a dozen feather arrows almost simultaneously to him, Zhou Cang struggled to block, but still two arrows shot through his body.

"Officials, for God's sake, it's official troops in the city, not our brothers."

"Retreat, brothers, retreat, it's official troops in the city, not our own people!"

Finally some sharp-eyed yellow turban bandits found the difference, shouting to remind their companions, there is still breath still able to move the yellow turban remnants back again like a tidal wave. At this time, the north door of Fuyang suddenly opened, fully loaded with the usual belt, clad in armor Zou Jing has been the first to rush out to kill, behind Zou Jing, five hundred Nanyang soldiers like a shadow, cover up and kill to.

Zou Jing this is to take advantage of people's illnesses, to people's lives, determined to wipe out this group of yellow turban remnants, vowed not to want to let go of a person! As always, Zou Jing is proud of the wisdom of the plan in Fuyang by Ma Yue's eight hundred stragglers ruthlessly calculated a time, this time caught the opportunity to finally vent the chest of this bad gas to vent out.

Volume 2: Eight hundred stragglers start wolf smoke

Chapter 39: Angry me too

In the darkness, Ma Yue rushed to the south gate of Fuyang with eight hundred stragglers, only to see a few burning torches on the city head, a dozen soldiers of the official army responsible for the night watch like wooden stakes pinned on the city tower, eyes staring blankly at the dark void in front of them, and a patrol of more than ten people slowly coming from a hundred paces away.

Compared with the silent south gate, the north of Fuyang City was in flames and the sound of killing shook the wilderness.

Guan Hai said morosely, "Bo Qi, there are sounds of killing in the north of the city."

Pei Yuan Shao's spirit was lifted and he said enthusiastically, "Could it be that the Nanyang soldiers have fought by themselves?"

Ma Yue's eyes flashed sternly and said in a deep voice: "Whatever the hell is going on, Pei blew the horn, and the old Guan led the Qingzhou battalion to prepare to capture the city gate! The rest of the brothers, when the city gate is opened, follow me to kill into the city, as long as you see those wearing red robes (Han army uniform, red robes and black armor), all chopped to death!"

Pei Yuan Shao will be more than one person high bull horn will be erected, put into the mouth to blow up, all of a sudden, loud and clear bull horn sounded through the clouds, first three short and rapid, and then a long and endless long sound, because of the night rush has been exhausted of the bandits heard the bull horn sound, immediately to get up the spirit, each eye began to become hot.

"Brothers of the Qingzhou battalion, get on your horses!"

In the darkness, Guan Hai bellowed and took the lead to turn on his horse, 100 old mountain bandits who had followed Guan Hai since Qingzhou turned on their horses and slowly raised the steel swords in their hands, the strong killing spirit already flowed out from their eyes, each one was like a wild wolf who had smelled blood.

Almost as soon as Pei Yuan Shao's trumpet sounded, the official army on guard at the south gate tower noticed it, and was about to blow the trumpet to show the alarm when they heard a loud boom from the root of the wall, and even the wall beneath them was trembling slightly, but the sound came from inside the wall! The official army on the city tower was taken aback and turned sharply to the inside of the wall, climbing the women's wall to take a look down, only to see a large area of the foot of the wall under the earth bricks have collapsed down, the chaotic flying dust, a group of 40 to 50 strong men have been carrying a single sword rushed out to kill, the group of men just killed, immediately divided into two ways, one way more than 20 people directly to the city gate, the other way more than 30 people have been down the ladder, shouting to kill the city tower. The other 30-odd people were already going up the ladder and shouting to the city tower.

"No, there are ambushers inside the city wall!" An officer shouted harshly from the city tower, "Protect the gates and the drawbridge, don't let the bandits take them."

The officer instinctively realized the danger and hastily reminded the dozen soldiers under his command who were about to freeze, and at the same time asked the patrol soldiers who were driving over in the distance for help.

However, it was all in vain.

If the attack comes from outside the city, with the dozen or so official troops can not hold the city, but enough to hold on until reinforcements arrive, the enemy to cross the moat, and then set up ladders to the walls to launch a large-scale attack, at least half an hour's time, but the guard barracks from the city gate is only a hundred paces away, as long as the sound of the horn on the tower, it does not take a tea time, a large number of defenders will be able to hear the news to arrive.

But if the attack comes from inside the city, the situation is completely different.

The city walls and moat, used to resist external attacks, can play a big role, but if used to resist internal attacks, but is only better than nothing.

The ambushers who suddenly emerged from the walls were the old Qingzhou mountain bandits led by Mao San and Niu Si. As early as before Ma Yue led the main force of the bandits to leave Fuyang, he forced more than a hundred official prisoners to secretly dig the hiding hole at the root of the south gate wall, and then built this group of fierce bandits into the city wall, and promised to break through the wall immediately after the three short and one long bullhorn sounded to seize the city gate and welcome the army into the city.

The hundred or so official prisoners were executed by Ma Yue immediately after completing their mission, so even Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao did not know that Ma Yue had left such an ambush force.

Qin Jie and Zou Jing had searched almost every inch of the ground in the city to find this group of insiders, even the kilns of every resident, but they found nothing! The two men did not expect that Ma Yue would dare to hide his ambushers in the city walls, which is true to the old saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

The official army's desperate guarding did not buy much time for the defending official army, within a few moments, the heavy city gate had creaked open, and the high hanging drawbridge was slowly lowered.

"Kill!"

Guan Hai shouted, the long sword a guide, not waiting for the drawbridge to fall on the horse rushed up, the first to enter the city. When the official troops in the guard barracks reacted and rushed out of the barracks to kill at the city gate, 200 Qingzhou stragglers had already rolled into an unstoppable iron stream, crushing over with a sweeping sound ......

......

The first time I heard the news, I was able to get to the top of the list, and I was able to get to the top of the list.

But at this time, the other end of the Fuyang City trumpet suddenly rose!

Zou Jing's heart thumped a jump, suddenly rose a cloud, especially when the official army's horn sounded immediately after, Zou Jing was astonished! The more the horn blows the more urgent, Zou Jing also became more and more frightened, then no longer care to chase and kill the scattered bandits, in the horseback sternly shouted: "Stop chasing, the whole army back to the city!"

......

Zhou Cang was seriously wounded, and now he had added several arrow wounds, and one of his thighs was also shot through, and his strength was greatly reduced under repeated heavy wounds, and he was being beaten by three official soldiers to the left and right, and was in danger.

Zhou Cang pathos is not clear, is trying to fight up the remaining strength, spite of the head to kill the three damned soldiers, only to listen to the official army leader gave an order, like a wolf stalking the official army immediately like a tide retreat, just a blink of an eye, and desperately fleeing yellow turban bandits have pulled away from the distance of dozens of steps.

"Uh, this ......"

Zhou Cang a knife slash empty, can't close the momentum almost fell headlong in the snow, barely stood up after looking fixedly at the retreating official army, a time of doubt in a dream, did the official army found conscience? Can't ah, the official army met the yellow turban, traditionally is to kill all, there is no way to leave room ah.

A further gaze and listen carefully, Zhou Cang immediately eyes a bright, only to hear the other side of the Fuyang city faint sound of killing came, could it be that the Fuyang South Gate was attacked, so the official army hastily retreated back to save? Then who is attacking the city? Could it be that ...... is Ma Yue, the leader of the eight hundred bandits killed back? Yes, it must be!

Thinking of this, Zhou Cang couldn't help but be invigorated, sternly shouted: "Brothers, don't run away, Ma Yue big leader with 800 stragglers to kill back! Everyone quickly do not run away, chase the official army's ass to kill into the city ah, kill ~ ~"

......

Fuyang County Office, back hall.

Qin Jie suddenly woke up from a nightmare, the blazing fire in the fire pan could not warm his cold heart, Qin Jie felt as if his body had fallen into an ice cave, almost frozen, deeply inhaled hot breath, Qin Jie hissed in a hoarse voice: "Someone, someone quickly ...... "

A junior official with the army hurriedly ran in and respectfully asked, "What is your order, my lord?"

Qin Jie asked, "Where is the sound of trumpets outside?"

The official laughed and said, "Sir, there is no need to panic, Lord Zou is leading his troops outside the north gate to chase down the remnants of the bandits."

"Phew, that's the way it is."

Qin Jie breathed a long sigh of relief, his mind settled, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and quickly from far to near, then the door of the room was pushed open heavily, Wen Hei had entered with big strides, his young handsome face was full of panic.

"Brother-in-law is not good! Eight hundred bandits have already captured the south gate and come to kill the county government!"

"What!" Qin Jie, who was very sick, was so shocked that he stood up and lost his voice, "Eight hundred stragglers!

"Yes, brother-in-law, it's the 800 stragglers! I saw that big flag."

Qin Jie opened his eyes and asked in a stern voice, "How did the 800 stragglers get to Fuyang? And how did they take the south gate? How is it possible, how is it possible, how is it possible?"

Qin Jie asked three questions in a row, which showed how surprised he was.

Wen Ren said, "Ma Yue has hidden ambush troops in the city wall! When the horn was blown, the ambushers came out, and the defending army was outnumbered. When the army came out from the barracks, the 800 stragglers had already taken the south gate and killed the city.

"There was really an ambush? There are really ambush soldiers! The ambushers were hidden in the city walls! What a good Ma Yue, what a good Ma Yue! Goo Goo Goo ......" Qin Jie looked strange, a strange sound suddenly sounded at the bottom of his throat, and then his face turned red, and he spurted out a mist of blood and shouted, "I'm so angry!"
