Chapter 106 The Fall of Guancheng

Chapter 106 The Scene of Guancheng

Dacheng County, Shuofang County.

The city, which became lifeless due to the robbery of the Qiang people, was once again boiling because of an army that suddenly appeared.

"Accelerate and kill in. The general has an order. No one in the city can let go!"

With the shouts, Lu Qing led the flying cavalry to sweep away with lightning speed, catching the Hu cavalry who were staying here off guard.

The most fatal thing is that Lu Bu disguised himself and guarded the city gate early. The Hu people guarding the city gate had already died!

As nomadic peoples on the grassland, mobility is their basic state. The Qiang people have become accustomed to continuous migration from one place to another. Therefore, their combat methods are also like the wind, and most of them use attack instead of defense.

In this way, although the logistics burden can be reduced and the advance and retreat can be freely carried out, there is also a major flaw, that is, they are extremely unfamiliar with using city defense to fight defensive warfare.

Therefore, for the sudden attack of flying cavalry, it was natural to recover the county town with empty troops and unprepared forces behind the Qiang people.

Soon, after joining Lu Qing and others, Lu Bu took the lead and rushed into the city with his flying cavalry. His long halberd flew over and never failed. He soon killed the left-behind Hu people without leaving any armor.

Lu Bu saw a small group of Hu people fleeing to another city gate in the messy city. He had no intention of chasing him and rushed straight to the county government. Outside the city, he had already arranged for Song Xian to provide him with some soup...

———

Soon, the sudden battle ended.

Lu Bu climbed up to the city gate tower and watched the flying cavalry tied up the escaped Qiang people in groups and carried them back.

He ordered Song Xian to kill all these Hu people, throw their bodies into the mountains to feed the wolf, their heads would be piled into Beijing officials outside the city, and the heads of their small and medium-sized leaders would be collected and sent to Lu Zhonglang for his merits.

Since these damn Hu people dare to reach out to the Han area, they must pay the price...!

"General, Gao Feihou sent someone to report that he had succeeded in the big city in the northeast of the county town, and his troops suffered minor casualties. People come to ask how he will act in the future and ask the general to decide."

After a while, Lu Bu's personal guard came forward to report.

"Well... let Gao Feihou rest on the spot for a night, and then organize refugees to consolidate the city defense!"

Lu Bu thought about it and gave an order. Judging from the information he collected, the Qiang people's troops should have entered the Han area from the Great City Cang. Now that they have been taken back, they will take over the Qiang people to prevent them from slipping out from here again.

He still said the same thing, since he has come, don't think about going back alive...

Lu Bu's desire for revenge was very strong. As a local general in Bingzhou, he had deep hatred for these invading Hu Qi.

Because along the way, he saw broken walls and tragic situations of white bones everywhere, which were caused by the damn Hu people. Even if they were killed, it would take no time to rebuild after the disaster...

Seeing the helpless and desperate eyes of the few people in the big city, none of the flying cavalry who had just changed their posts to the government army showed a winning smile, because all the disasters here seemed to be the result of their poor guarding.

It was also the first time that Lu Bu realized that he was a court official. At this moment, he was no longer simply a general of the rebel army, but truly became a Sima of the court, and took on the responsibility of supporting the Han Dynasty and appeaseing the people.

However, just as Lu Bu and others were indignant for the devastated county town, the sky suddenly became dark and the day turned into night in an instant.

Before everyone could react, they lost the sun above their heads. Everyone panicked and didn't know what else to come.

Soon, the sun reappeared, but it disappeared again not long after. After three repeated this, everyone remained silent.

Everyone is afraid of the strange phenomena from the sky. This scene is like the solar eclipse a few months ago, and it is soul-stirring!

Some people remembered that after the last strange phenomenon appeared, the Xianbei invaded...

Is there something going on again?

While everyone was still staring at dumbfounded, Lu Bu was the first to come back to his senses and shouted:

"The skin is in danger! I'll order the entire army to gather!"

Others were shocked when they heard the roar of their general.

Only after Gao Shun and Song Xian arrived was hurriedly that Lu Bu expressed his worries.

"Originally, I only planned to harass the enemy everywhere in order to hold back the enemy's army to come to help. If today's surprise, Fu Shicheng will inevitably be in crisis. We have to give up this strategy and rush to help Fu Shicheng..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His eyes turned to Fu Shicheng, whom Lu Bu was concerned about.

At this moment, all the soldiers and civilians in the city understood one truth. Once the city is broken, their destiny will be like those prisoners outside the city, and they will become dead souls under the knife in an instant. Their wives and children will inevitably be bullied by the Hu people. The main house they lived in for generations will be burned by the fire, their fields will become Hu people's ranch, and everything will be lost!

Therefore, Fushi City became their last hope. The whole city's military and civilians worked together to wait for assistance, and no one dared to take a step back.

This naturally led to the failure of Hu Qi's attacks for many consecutive days.

The Southern Xiongnu and Qiang people were furious and launched continuous attacks in four directions.

They believe that as long as they continue to consume the limited supplies and military power in the city, they can drag down the defenders. In the end, this Fushicheng is a piece of meat in their mouths, and they can eat it whenever they want.

Anyway, this kind of attack that drove away prisoners and killed the Han people, their losses were not great.

"Don't panic, hold on for a few more days, hold on for the last few days, the reinforcements from the court will arrive soon!"

The disciples of the eunuchs in the city knew that they would never have a way out after the city was broken, so they also came to the front line to organize military and civilian resistance. Finally, they did what the imperial officials should do. They called loudly among the crowd from time to time, but although they often did not get a response, they still had some effect.

Now everyone in the city regards reinforcements as their last belief. Even when fighting, they imagined that behind them were thousands of troops from the Han court trampling through the dust and galloping over, and together with them, killing the jackals, tigers and leopards outside the city.

However, the solar eclipse occurred, and three times in a row, this sudden vision broke the beliefs of the Han people in the city, and all the soldiers and civilians fell into panic.

The Hu Qi outside the city also stopped siege, and they cheered loudly and sang their own songs.

The song was so terrifying that everyone felt as if they had lost their souls. The military and civilians stared blankly at the bonfire outside the city, cheering a group of Hu Man who was not a human, no ghost.

There are too many of them, really too many, and I can't kill them at all. Even if I cut all the swords and rolled up my blades and used all my strength to kill the enemy, it is impossible to kill all these enemies before the city is broken...

Someone began to ask in his heart, where were the reinforcements from the court? It hasn't arrived for a day, two days have passed, and now so many days have passed, and no soldiers have been seen...

It is not easy for people to build beliefs, but it only takes a moment to collapse!

Not long after, the sun set and the desperate day was finally over.

The soldiers and civilians who were guarding the city collapsed beside the city wall, no one spoke or moved, as if they were dead, and even the anxious encouragement of the officials no longer responded...

———

At this moment, at the home of Guan Yin, a man in a cloak quietly took out a ingot of gold and discussed something with Guan Yin.

He was the secret son who was installed by Wang in his early years. Due to the arrest of his "teammates", he has made no progress in the city to rebel against the people in the city.

However, there was finally a breakthrough today. Guan Yin thought hard for a long time and agreed to his request.

Guan Yin believed that he was not the gold that was greedy for the Wang family and even the subsequent promises, but he saw the blow to the skin that today's solar eclipse was used.

This city is unlikely to be able to defend, even if it is not tomorrow, even if it is not the day after tomorrow, it will fall sooner or later. Since this is the case, it is better to offer the city on its own initiative. Gold is not the key, the key is that they promised to protect their families...

Even if the whole city will sacrifice people for this, if he does not do so, these people will not be able to end up well...

Looking at the two sleeping children and the trembling and pale wife, Guan Yin finally made up his heart!

That night, a fire ignited in the city of Fushi, and the gate of the Xicheng was opened...!
Chapter completed!
