At the top of Linyang City, the county magistrate Wu Zhi climbed up to the top of the city in a panic with the help of a soldier.

He was over fifty years old, and he was thin and small. He had already abandoned the city and fled, but as soon as his family left the city, they encountered the car guards and were arrested again. The family members were detained, so he had to bite the bullet and command the defense of the city.

"Then Magistrate Wu, why didn't you run away?"

Peng Tuo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal in Runan, recognized Magistrate Wu at a glance and was a little surprised. He thought that this old guy would be the first to run away, but he didn't expect that he was still holding on.

Looking at the dark crowd below, Wu Zhi swallowed hard and said, "I, I swear to live and die with Linyang."

"To live or die together? How bad that would be!"

Peng Tuo fiddled with the big knife in his hand and said sadly: "I heard that the summer harvest in Linyang this year was quite good, so I came here to borrow food. I was wise enough to open the city gate quickly and let us go in and move some. Otherwise, hehe... "

Magistrate Wu forced himself to calm down and said with trembling fingers: "You, you thief and robber, I would rather die in battle than let you step into the city."

"Look at you, you are very old, and you are not very good at talking. You don't want to run for your life like everyone else, but you still want to act like a hero. I want to ask you one last time, should this city be opened?"

"I, I will not abandon the people in the city and ignore them."

"Since you are in a hurry and want to die, I will help you."

Peng Tuo waved his hand, "Brothers, let this old guy see how powerful we are today, kill him!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" The shouts of tens of thousands of people resounded throughout the sky, frightening countless early birds in the city.

Even though he knew that an ambush had been laid in the city, Magistrate Wu was still so frightened that his legs and feet were weak. He was about to turn around and run away, but thinking about the kid who was being held captive, he did not dare to move his legs no matter what.

"Archer, shoot, shoot."

The war drums sounded, and the Yellow Turban troops roared and swarmed forward.

The magistrate was frightened, and the soldiers were even more frightened. After a few sparse arrows were fired, not many people were killed, and the enemy troops rushed to the city.

Knowing that there was no way out today, and no matter how afraid he was, he had to be brave. Magistrate Wu's legs and feet suddenly became agile, and he ran around the city giving orders, "Throw stones and logs quickly, throw them quickly!"

As he said that, he picked up a piece of wood and threw it at the bottom of the city.

Under his influence, the soldiers became a little more courageous, and the stones suddenly fell like hailstones. This was very effective. The enemy soldiers who rushed to the city were smashed to death and many injured.

A soldier was holding a stone and was about to throw it down. Suddenly an arrow flew up from the city. The tip of the arrow grazed his cheek, leaving a scratch. The soldier screamed in fright. The stone in his hand fell to the ground and hit his feet. It was so bloody that it was smashed.

Clutching their feet, crying and jumping, the soldiers turned around and ran into the city. One person became a deserter, and there were two, three... and soon, less than half of the soldiers on the city were left.

This situation had been expected by Peng Tuo. He pointed at the remaining people above and laughed loudly, "Look, these officers and soldiers are all cowards and weaklings. They only bully the weak. Let's fight hard." , I was so scared that I wet my butt."

The morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the city gate desperately.

"Dong dong dong..." The sound of enemy troops hitting the city gate struck in the heart of every soldier.

Plenty of dry firewood has been prepared, and tung oil has been sprinkled on it, just waiting to cook these damn moths and thieves.

With a loud bang, two thick city gates were knocked open, and enemy troops poured in like a tide.

In front of the main street, Magistrate Wu was pulled by two soldiers and ran away. As he ran, he scolded the car guards, "Damn it, it's the whole family that deserves to be plagued. Not only do you want to detain my family members, but you also say that thieves and bandits are the most popular."

Kill the officials. After the city is broken, I will be a bait to attract the enemy's attention. The farther you run, the more enemy troops you can attract. I have such a pity for my old legs!'

A soldier looked back at the bandits chasing after him at the city gate, and said in a tearful tone, "My great command, if you have the strength to curse, you might as well run away, otherwise your life will be in vain."

Wu Zhi turned around, almost peeing in fear, as if his legs were equipped with hot wheels, he quickly rolled towards the passage prepared in advance.

The moth thief who rushed into the city first saw Wu Zhi and others, screamed strangely and rushed over to chase them. The people behind him also followed the team and continued to move forward.

Someone in the middle wanted to turn into the side alley, but saw that the back of the alley was tightly blocked. They ran all the way, and it was the same in several alleys. Finally someone found something was wrong, and a village chief hurriedly shouted, "There is a scam in the city, hurry up."

retreat."

Is there a scam? When the moth thieves heard this, they exploded, turned around and retreated towards the city gate. The moth thieves who had just entered the city behind did not know it and were still rushing in.

"There's a scam, there's a scam, retreat quickly!" the moth thieves who wanted to leave the city shouted one after another.

The moth thieves have not received professional training. The more they heard about the scam, the more panicked the team became. People were crowded and pushed. Before the fire started, there were already many people who were pushed and trampled.

The chariot guard originally wanted to wait until all the moth thieves entered the city before setting fire to the city, but now that the plan had been discovered, he had no choice but to order the fire to be lit.

First, rockets shot out from the houses on both sides of the street like meteors, mixed with tung oil cans that were continuously thrown out, and then dozens of plumes of thick smoke rose from the houses on both sides of the street.

Peng Tuo ordered to retreat and sent people to rush into the house to arrest Magistrate Wu. However, the fire burned very quickly. In just a short time, the city was covered with thick smoke. How could the thieves dare to break in.

Seeing the fire, the moth thieves became more and more panicked. Regardless of the orders, they all went to find escape routes.

Thousands of people gathered on the street, crowded with people and horses. Some people rushed forward and wanted to escape through the north gate. Some people wanted to retreat. Some even risked being roasted and tried to block the people in the alleyway.

Move things away.

The horses neighed and the soldiers howled. Regardless of whether their bodies were on fire or not, all the rebels were running around. In fact, not many were burned to death, and most of them were trampled to death by their own people.

Peng Tuo was also blocked in the street by soldiers, unable to move forward or retreat. He felt anxious and asked, "Is there a way out from the north gate?"

After a while, the person who rushed to the front came over and told me that the north gate was blocked by sand and stones. It would take an hour to move away.

Within an hour, these people had been burned to ashes.

Seeing the raging fire in the city, the moth thieves outside who had not yet had time to enter the city were anxious, but they were also a little lucky. They were the weakest in the team. Every time they broke into the city, they were the last to enter the city and could only pick up.

Missing point.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone was looking anxiously into the city when they suddenly heard the rumble of horse hooves behind them. They saw thousands of riders coming from behind, riding through the dust in the sky. The knights were especially proud of the bright swords in their hands.

Conspicuous.

Due to the cover of various noisy sounds in the city, the cavalry were not discovered until they were approaching. The moth thieves suddenly became desperate. Behind them was the burning city, and in front were the wolf-like officers and soldiers. They were blocked in front of the city. Where should they go?

Escape and ascend to heaven?

Wang Yun's troops arrived last night and hid in the woods outside the city. They waited until a fire broke out in the city and led his troops to cover it up.

During the gallop, the cavalry automatically dispersed into two teams. Five hundred people rushed directly to the city gate, killing the traitors who retreated from the city, and the others scattered around to kill those who wanted to escape outside the city.

After all, two legs can't outrun four legs. As the horse gallops, the sharp knives in the hands of the officers and soldiers pick off the heads in pieces. The screams and howls can be heard incessantly, which actually drowns out the sounds in the city. Seeing this desperate situation, those who are not strong-willed kneel down.

Wail in surrender.

After all, Wang Yun was not a ruthless person. Anyone who asked to surrender would accept it, and ordered a group of soldiers to guard the surrendered soldiers, while the rest continued to hunt down the rebels.

The fire in the city is getting bigger and bigger, the smoke is thick, and the heat wave is causing blisters on people's bodies.

Peng escaped from the trap and continued to fight. No longer caring about the others, he and the guards around him galloped on horseback, running all the way to the south gate.

Wearing a smoky look, Peng Tuo led the remaining two to three thousand moth thieves and finally escaped from the sea of ​​fire. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the butcher knives of officers and soldiers outside the door were already slashing at him.

Peng Tuo was good at martial arts. He danced like a tiger with the sword in his hand, slashing left and right. In a short while, he cut down several officers and soldiers in succession.

Seeing this not far away, Xu Chu urged the ox under his seat. The ox mooed, dug its front hooves on the ground a few times, and then rushed towards him with the same momentum as the war horse.

Peng Tuo:......

Are there any officers and soldiers who ride bulls to fight?

This is not because Wang Yun is stingy and does not provide war horses, but because Xu Chu is not good at riding horses yet, so he has to bring his own oxen to help in the battle.

Peng Tuo rode his horse and swung his sword, and slashed at the boy riding the bull without mercy.

Xu Chu raised his hoe to meet him. There was a clang sound. At the same time, the knife and hoe struck each other. At the same time, the horns pierced Peng Tuo's horse. The horse was in pain and the man stood up in mourning. Xu Chu lowered himself and struck the horse's belly with his hoe, opening it

A big hole was made.

Peng Tuo fell off the horse, Xu Chu took advantage of the situation, and swung the hoe towards his head. Peng Tuo raised his knife to block with both hands. Xu Chu smiled, showing his white teeth, turned his wrist, hooked the hoe on the handle of the knife, and pulled it to the right, Peng Tuo

He had no choice but to let go of his left hand, and Xu Chu grabbed the handle of the sword. He exerted force on his hand, and the sword fell into his hand.

Xu Chu held the hoe in his left hand and flipped the knife twice in his right hand. He laughed and said, "This thing looks good. I wonder if it works better than a hoe? It will be mine from now on."

Peng Tuo was horrified and wanted to run away, but he didn't expect a shadow in front of his eyes. A hoe was inserted in front of him. With a bang, his chin hit the end of the hoe handle and almost dislocated.

As soon as he took two steps to the right, Xu Chu gestured with the sword and said slowly: "The commander said he wanted to survive. I wonder if my accuracy in throwing a knife is as good as throwing a hoe? I haven't thrown it before, why don't I give it a try?"

As he said that, he was about to take off the big knife in his hand.

Peng Tuo's steps suddenly stopped.

The battle of Linyang was a complete victory, and the cleaning of the battlefield was left to Wu Zhi. Wang Yun asked the soldiers to rest for half a day and set off to rescue Pingyu in the evening.
