The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 1018 Night Attack
"Also, I heard... the general just wants to attack the rebels in the city this time, and has nothing to do with us. If he voluntarily surrenders, the general will not embarrass us..." Li Sanjia continued.

"I've heard of this too. It seems that the first person to open the city gate for the general will be granted the title of marquis and rewarded with a hundred thousand dollars~" The eyes of the woman next to him were shining, full of greed for money.

"Can this be true?"

"Why can't it be true! When the general attacked Yanzhou City, the pawn who opened the city gate and surrendered was already sealed as a Marquis of the Guannei, and now the whole family enjoys the glory and wealth..."

Listening to the woman's tone, it was as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Fenghou, these two words are almost a luxury that ordinary people can't achieve in a lifetime.

The women chatted for a while, glanced at the sky, it was getting late, and it was time to go home to cook, so they went home separately.

into the night.

A cold wind blew up on the city tower, and in late autumn and winter, it blew on people's bodies, and they couldn't help but feel a little chilly.

The soldiers on guard at the city gate did not dare to slack off and patrolled back and forth.

Looking from the building, you can see the sparks ignited by the enemy camp in the distance. If you have better eyesight, you can even see the walking soldiers.

woohoo~~
Suddenly, the horn of attack sounded from a distance, without warning.

I saw a large number of torches spreading from a distance, and the soldiers of Lu Jun who were running shouted: "Kill!"

Seeing this large-scale move, the defenders of the city tower were all shocked, and quickly reported it loudly.

"Night attack!"

"Night attack!"

Xu Guang, who got the news, rushed to the top of the city immediately, only to see the flames surging below the city, and the sound of shouting and killing filled his ears.

He held the saber in his hand and stared down, his tiger eyes full of solemnity.

Finally, it's time to start!
But there is one thing that Xu Guang can't figure out. Attacking the city at night is definitely not a wise choice. Lu Bu has led troops for many years, so he shouldn't even be able to figure out this point.

In any case, let's repel the enemy first.

Xu Guang made up his mind, and immediately shouted and ordered: "All the archers on the tower are ready, the enemy is close to the range of a hundred paces, there is no need to ask for instructions, and shoot immediately!"

"Lieutenant Zhao, boil hot oil, if the enemy dares to climb the city wall, pour hot oil on it!"

"Other sons, always be ready to meet the enemy!"

As Xu Guang issued orders in an orderly manner, the initially flustered defenders seemed to have found their backbone, and gradually settled down, shouting in unison: "Here!"

The screams of killing spread into the city, and the women were frightened, covering their children's ears and shivering in the corner of the room.

Second Aunt He cut the red cloth at home and secretly hung the red scarf outside the door.

In the palace at this moment, Liu Bian, who was wearing a coat, paced back and forth, with gloom between his brows.He had already gone to bed, but the roar and killing sound from outside woke him up from his dream.

If Lu Jun really invades the city, does it mean that my country is over?

Anxiety rose in Liu Bian's heart, but fortunately, a soldier came to report at this time.

report~
The soldier knelt in front of Liu Bian, and said with great joy: "Your Majesty, good news! Under the supervision of General Xu Guang, our army has successfully repelled the enemy!"

"it is good!"

Hearing this good news, Liu Bian clapped his hands suddenly, and finally put his heart back into his stomach, praising: "Xu Guang really did not live up to my trust, and I will reward him heavily tomorrow!"

After the soldiers retreated, another man with a cold aura walked in.

He reported to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, when the enemy army attacked the city just now, there were more than forty families in the city, and all of them hung red scarves at the door. This matter is quite strange, and I dare not be professional in humble positions. Please show me your Majesty." .”

The man's real name has not been verified, only a code name, named Si Snake.

Like the deceased Qinglong, Yinhu, Weiyang and others, he was Liu Bian's earliest confidant.

Xu Guang's code name is Ugly Bull.

Si Snake is mainly responsible for intelligence monitoring, no matter the high officials or the small people, they are all within the scope of his surveillance.In the past, many secret sentries of the School Affairs Office were arrested and died in prison.

Liu Bian heard this, and after a little thought, he figured out the meaning.

It is expected that these gates must have colluded with the enemy forces outside the city, and the enemy army promised to tie a red scarf at the gate to save their lives.

The plan was a good plan, but they did not expect that Xu Guang supervised the battle and successfully repelled the night attacking enemy army.

"Prison, strict interrogation."

Liu Bian's eyes turned cold, and his tone was full of indifference.

As for those who secretly collaborate with the enemy, he would rather kill them by mistake than let them go!

After listening to the instructions, Si Snake bowed and retreated.

The shouts outside the city gradually died down, and Aunt He who stayed at home didn't know that the disaster was coming. She protected her two children with both hands, and her bloated body trembled a little.

My man died early, even though she was usually aggressive, but after all, she was a timid woman.

Second Aunt He didn't know what was going on outside, and she didn't dare to go out to inquire.

At this time, the only way to be safe is to stay at home honestly.

"Mother, I'm afraid!"

The little boy in his arms spoke timidly.

Second Aunt He lowered her head, hugged the child in her arms tighter, and pretended to be calm, "Don't be afraid, it's fine with Mother here."

As soon as the words fell, there was a 'bang'.

The door outside the house was kicked open, and Aunt He's heart trembled. She walked to the door trembling all over, and saw many torches lit outside, surrounding his farmyard.

Ordinary ordinary people don't recognize a person of Si Snake's level. Second Aunt He only thought that the enemy army had invaded the city, and hurriedly waved the red scarf tied around her wrist, hoping to exchange her life for survival.

"Master, don't arrest me, the women firmly support the general!"

Second Aunt He guarded the two children behind her, and cried out anxiously.

What she didn't know was that when she said those words, she undoubtedly pushed herself into the abyss.

Si She's eyes turned cold, it seems that this family really colluded with the enemy.

"Take it all away!"

Si She ordered in a cold voice, and the soldiers behind him couldn't help but arrest Er Aunt He and the two children.

Dozens of other portals with red scarves also failed to escape the bad luck.

Two days later, these people who were dubbed "betrayers and collaborators" were taken to a crowded market and beheaded for public display.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and the official in charge of beheading had a ruthless face. He pointed at the corpses and warned the onlookers: "See if you collude with the enemy, this is the end!"

After the prisoner was executed, the people whispered after the officials left.

"I heard that they tied the red scarves at the door, and that's why they were in such a catastrophe."

"Then do you know why the red scarf was tied at the door?" The person who spoke was a woman, and if she carefully identified it, she was actually Mrs. Chen San who spread the news two days ago.

Everyone didn't know, but she said: "The general has made a promise, as long as he hangs a red scarf at the door, after the city is broken, the soldiers under his command will never be embarrassed."

"Oh I got it."

The crowd suddenly stunned.

As a result, the news that was originally intended to be pressed forcibly spread among the people in the city at a hundred times the speed of inadvertently.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.
