Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 132 The Loss of Xiangyang

"Follow Master Lu!"

Han Kai lunged forward with a saber into the chest of the opposite figure, pushed the opponent back, roared loudly, then drew out his saber and killed another person, all the minions around him screamed strangely, with the simple saber swung, it was impossible to rush in Among the sergeants who formed an formation to protect themselves.

This momentary conflict had a thousand times better effect than before. The sergeants who were killed by the knife fell down in pieces, and the passage of the city gate was cleared almost instantly.

"Keep the door! The rest leave the city!"

Amidst the roar, the fiery red figure turned around, the horse's hooves stepped over the pool of blood, splashing dark red liquid, and the archers on the city wall watched helplessly as a horse galloped from the city gate to the comrade who had just left the city just now.

"kill!"

Raising the big axe, he cut the man in two with one axe. The spewing blood covered the raised dust and fell to the ground. Then they fought forward, and the figure holding Fang Tian's painted halberd rushed into the Song army. , In the next second, a group of sergeants were sent flying like tatters, blood was scattered in the air irregularly, and splashed on the ground to form indescribable patterns.

"Go! Get out of the city first!"

Without refuting, he pulled the reins and led the crowd towards the city gate. Feng Tai and Wei He hurriedly protected Du Po and left, with their heads lowered, and rushed out.

Herod—

In the familiar voice, the horse hissed, and then the fiery red figure of Chitu charged into the crowd with its majestic body. fell to the ground.

"Run!"

"move back!"

A sergeant looked at the tragic situation of his comrades in front of him, and couldn't help but his liver and gallbladder were broken. He quickly dropped his weapon and ran back. Afterwards, more people joined the fleeing team. Once Lu Bu was a little dazed.

Soldiers who fled so resolutely are really... rare, and Yuan Gongtong's soldiers are better than these people.

With a strange expression on his face, he patted the red rabbit, and the beast quickly caught up with the crowd. Lu Bu glanced at Du Po, and said after a while: "This is the soldier you brought."

"certainly not!"

Du Po lowered his head, and Feng Tai spoke first: "These rats are all...Du...brother leads, and the sergeants I'm waiting for are only more than a thousand people."

Wei He also said aside: "The sergeant in the government office just now was brought out by my brother. Huh? Strange, why is he waiting in the government office?"

Feng Tai didn't speak, and suddenly raised his hand and waved the iron ruler to shoot the arrow towards Du Po.

"Why else?" Du Yan interjected, his voice was a little sleepy, his head was still lowered, as if he hadn't seen the scene just now, he rushed towards the city gate dully: "It's only the gangsters around who ordered him to wait. Just do things."

Lu Bu gave the three of them a meaningful look: "Can others command your soldiers? Hah—"

Feng Tai and Wei He blushed for a moment, but sighed helplessly, and had no words to refute Lu Bu's statement. It was also at this stall that the horse rushed into the city gate, and then came out through the city. Scattered arrows shot from behind. Everyone dialed it open.

"Cover the leader."

Someone shouted in front, and then the gangsters with bows and arrows drew their bows and shot arrows. The archers at the head of the city hid in the room, and a group of riders ran farther. When the archers were shooting, they couldn't shoot. In a short time, all the thieves have already run away.

"Straight mother thief! Why haven't the reinforcements come yet!" The commanding general slammed the knife in his hand to the ground, took off his helmet, and stared fiercely at the rear.

"It seems to be because of the fire, Zhemo's reinforcements can't come today..."

A sergeant was listening to the sound of the bell ringing in the watchtower, and he boldly said something, as if slapping his face, and someone else said: "Come, come, there are reinforcements outside the city."

A group of sergeants quickly looked over and saw a horse army of more than a hundred horses galloping out of the forest, and then slammed into the thieves who were retreating indiscriminately, and some people were chopped down to the ground. Shangfeng hacked and killed more than ten people, and then rushed towards the crowded place at the city gate.

"How brave!"

Lv Bu, Yan Jiao and the others were shocked and angry watching from behind, they hurriedly patted their horses forward, and the bandits behind them followed with a shout, Chitu galloped with all his strength and threw off the crowd, and rushed forward at the head of the horse.

"Get ready to meet the enemy!" The horse army envoy saw dozens of horsemen rushing forward, and shouted loudly on horseback: "There is only one person in front, kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!" Someone in the galloping horse army shouted with a gun.

Then more people raised their spears and roared, "Kill!"

In the next breath, the hooves of the horses were like thunder, and more than a hundred horsemen rushed towards the red horse that was charging solo.

"Nobody, get lost—"

The halberd-wielding figure roared angrily, and ran straight into the cavalry in front of him. As the halberd slashed and slammed a few times, several cavalry soldiers in front of them were thrown out, and then they were trampled on by the horses behind. I don't know if I can live.

"The thief is so brave!!"

The envoy of the horse army was furious, and saw the painted halberd slashing left and right, and several people fell off the horse. smashed in.

The tall war horse slashed at the charging cavalry with an axe. With the sound of the gun barrel breaking, half of its body rolled on the ground into a gourd of blood. The horse galloped past him with the other half of its body on its back. Sweeping again, someone howled miserably and was cut in half on the spot.

Where did the strong thief come from!

The envoys of the horse army watched with tearing eyes. The enthusiasm for killing thieves at the beginning was gone.

"kill!"

The Liangshan horse bandits galloping over would not hesitate because of the small number of people. Most of them came from the Liao region, and they immediately raised their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy.

"Xiang Chi! Stop—"

"Liangshan's! Stop—"

Two thunderous shouts made both the enemy and us startled, and then some people stopped their hands unconsciously, some were still facing each other with swords and guns, but they were cut off at the touch of a touch, and some were unlucky and cut off their horses with a single knife.

Afterwards, the Majun envoy named Xiang Chi and Deng Fei shouted together: "Stop, everyone stop!"

Chitu ran over, Lu Bu saw that something was wrong, he couldn't help but stopped the beast, and then looked in the direction of shouting, Du Yan and Feng Tai had already run out in his underwear, and it was the two of them who shouted loudly just now Voice.

"Captain!" Xiang Chi was taken aback when he saw Du Po's disfigured appearance, and hastily urged his horse over: "You...why do you look like this?"

"It's... a long story." Du Po shook and then said something to Xiang Chi in a low voice, while Feng Tai looked at the people on both sides vigilantly.

"Brother." Lu Bu approached Lu Bu with the big ax that was still dripping blood, "These cavalry are not Du Po's soldiers, are they?"

"It's very possible." Lu Bu glanced at the horse army, turned his head and said, "It's much stronger than the trash I met before."

"At the end of the day, they are nothing more than Xiangbing soldiers." Yan Jiao curled his lips: "The Imperial Army I saw in the northwest when I was traveling was the elite."

"Really?" Lu Bu looked a little weird, and then looked at Du Po, and saw that Mo Xiezhi had finished speaking and was riding his horse.

"Master Lu." Du Po cupped his hands at Lu Bu, "Can we stop fighting here? If we continue to fight, it will only increase the casualties."

Lu Bu looked at him playfully: "It's easy to stop the war, but why did someone stop? You know, killing all these people is also very fast."

"But you will lose by waiting."

"The general never dies on the battlefield, and it is an honor for a man to die on the battlefield!"

Du Po sighed, with a bit of helplessness on his pale face: "I know that Village Master Lu has always wanted to pull me into the gang. If you agree to let these people go, Du Po is willing to go up the mountain with the village master. From now on, water will come from fire." Li Go will never frown."

"Is it worth it?" Lu Bu leaned forward to look at Du Po and asked, "For them?"

"Captain!"

"Think twice, the supervisor!"

"Why is the capital prison like this?!"

"Captain, you can't leave us!"

All the cavalry soldiers who heard the conversation between the two were shocked, and they all exclaimed, and some people had already got off their horses and knelt down and begged.

"I'm not in prison anymore." Du Po raised his voice, and the people around him immediately shut up and listened to Du Po: "Our fate is over, and someone will take my place in the future, and you will have to wait for me at that time." Do your duty.”

After finishing speaking, he looked up at Lu Bu under the gaze of the crowd: "Such a soldier, I am willing to pay for him, it is worth it!"

Lu Bu glanced at the men not far away who were eagerly looking at Du Po, and nodded, "Okay! It's just as you said."

"Thank you, brother..." Du Po bowed his head and cupped his hands again, his voice became lower, his body shook twice, and he fell back suddenly.

"Captain!"

"Brother!"

The people watching screamed, and heard the sound of the horse's hooves, and the red rabbit shot out like an arrow. Lu Bu was hanging from the horse, and when he reached out to fish, Du Po had already been rescued.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Feng Tai and Wei He breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried over on horseback, looking worriedly at Du Po who was laid across Chitu's back.

Lu Bu shook his head, motioning for the two to take Du Po, then turned around and glanced at the Song soldiers, and said to Yan Jiao and the others, "Let's go."

At that moment, a group of strong men turned around one after another, Feng Tai carefully put Du Po behind his back, and tied him with cloth strips, Wei He supported him from behind, and walked forward.

Xiang Chi rode his horse forward, looked at Du Po's back, and suddenly shouted: "Get off the horse!"

When he kicked down first, all the horsemen were taken aback, and they dismounted one after another, took a breath from Xiang Chi, clasped their fists and said in a loud voice: "Respectfully send you to the prison!"

"Congratulations to the prison—"

The sound spreads all over the field, where the wind blows, the branches stretch forward one after another, as if they want to keep someone back.

……

On the city floor.

The thieves in command, who had already left by themselves, and the dismounted cavalry army, heard the faint shouts in the wind, their faces were a little livid, and after a while they ordered: "Go down and close the gate of the city, don't let the outside The guys come in."

A group of sergeants looked at me and I looked at you. For a long while, no one dared to move. The angry general pointed out a few people and said, "You guys go down."

Seeing that he didn't move, he stepped forward and kicked: "Hurry up, a group of chaotic idiots, lazy killers to the bone."

The few people had no choice but to walk down. Someone saw that they were far away and muttered: "What's the air, how can I not stop those thieves if I have the ability."

"That's right, he himself often boasted about his high martial arts skills, but Shicai refused to go any further."

"Hey? You said why didn't he order the release of the Qianjin gate just now?"

"He's an idiot, if he didn't rely on his sister's belly, how could he command you and me."

"Too."

Not long after, the wind blew violently, blowing the whispers into the air.

……

Xiangyang, state government office.

The setting sun is red, hanging in the sky with the crescent moon at the same time, and clouds pass by from time to time, covering the light of both.

The old trees in the yard swayed with the wind, sweeping across the eaves with a rustling sound, and there was a smell of fire smoke in the air. In the office building, the window sills revealed the light of the lights, and someone's shadow was reflected on the paper window , and then the sound of palms hitting the table sounded one after another.

"Are you all eating shit? You let a group of thieves sneak into the city and kill Lord Zhizhou. Do you know that this is a matter of losing your head! Wait and calculate how many heads you can lose!" Liao Tong judged After confirming that he was safe at night, he returned to the state government office. He immediately called all the officials, generals, and squad leaders to his office room and scolded them all.

"How many more, maybe just one..." Someone muttered in the crowd, because the sound of slapping the table was too loud, Liao Tongpan didn't listen, otherwise he would not be able to escape the scolding.

Taking a deep breath, Liao Tongpan sat down and said, "Let's talk about any other bad news. By the way, how about the damage caused by the fire?"

Several people in charge of the street looked at each other, and finally one of them stepped forward bravely and said, "My lord, this... today's fire is very difficult to extinguish, so it takes a long time to extinguish the fire, and the loss... the loss is a little bit." big."

boom--

When the palms hit each other with the table, Liao Tongpan's face flashed with pain, and he said forcefully, "Say!"

"Yes." The man hastily bowed his head and said, "The biggest loss is the Inspection Department. There are no intact houses and they need to be completely rebuilt. More than half of the people have been poisoned by the smoke and need to rest."

Without daring to look up at the expression on Chat Tongsan's face, he continued: "Fire detection soldiers stepped forward to put out the fires in other places, so five houses were burned down in the street with the most losses, and 37 civilians were killed. Another 17 people were injured."

Liao Tongpan's face turned red: "Can you catch the thief who set the fire?"

"This……"

"Trash!" Liao Tongpan grabbed the pen holder and slammed it on the man, "Get out!"

"Hey, yes."

The man responded quickly, turned his head and walked out of the room under the envious eyes of his colleagues.

"How many soldiers were killed and wounded today? Does anyone know?" Liao Tongpan saw that the man had left, and turned to ask the rest.

Several squad leaders and the general at the north gate looked at each other, but they could not match the man's sharp gaze, so they came out and said, "My lord, a total of 37 yamen servants and small prisoners were executed in prison, and there were seven sergeants on duty. , and five other wounded."

"The thief is bold!" Liao Tongzhi slapped the table hard: "Where is the city gate?"

The general had no choice but to go forward and said: "One of the troops was completely lost, and there were 57 defenders. There were countless wounded."

"Trash!" Liao Tongpan had no other words in his mouth, he glared at the officer and said, "Why didn't you release the Qianjin gate?"

The general lowered his head for a moment, his eyes turned sharply, he didn't dare to delay too long and said: "Xiangyang has been in peace for a long time, and it is rare to use the Qianjin gate. I humbled that my fellow robes below could block the bandit front, but I didn't expect it to be broken through. Therefore, I failed to put it down in time, please punish me, my lord."

bang bang bang-

Liao Tongpan slapped the table hard a few times, and stood up: "That's very good, he's really a good general, plus the rebellious soldiers and horses are in prison, you and I are waiting to be punished!"

The night wind howled, and the scolding continued. The next day, a letter was sent from Tongjuan Mansion.
