Niu Gai took the lead in sprinting, followed by Qianqi.
Follow the official road and approach directly towards the county government office.
On the way, Niugai suddenly looked startled.
It seemed like I heard a few screams?
The sound was too subtle and indistinct, as if it was coming from a distance, but it was not clear from which direction it came.
He lifted the reins, stopped the horse's head, and looked around in confusion.
Most of the cavalry in the rear stopped when they saw the general. Although they couldn't figure out the reason, they also stopped at the same time.
There were only about two hundred riders, perhaps due to greed or a strong will to fight. Since Niugai did not give any orders, he still continued to rush forward regardless, with momentum like a rainbow.
In a few breaths, they continued to run forward for about a hundred meters.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred!
Almost at the same time, the dozens of riders in the front row flipped over and fell down one after another.
It turned out that there was a huge trench ahead, completely cutting off the road ahead.
The inside is filled with spikes pointing upwards. Once a man or horse falls, they will almost die or be disabled under the huge inertia.
Continuous screams rang out, and the other cavalrymen who followed them realized that something was wrong, but they were unable to stop their momentum due to the chain reaction, and they were also knocked sideways and fell, and they and their horses continued to roll down.
In just a moment, most of the nearly one hundred riders had fallen like dumplings, and they were completely defeated.
not good!
When Niugai saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
Before he had time to think about it, the sound of drums suddenly sounded in the silent darkness.
"Boom!"
As the first drum beat sounded, hundreds of torches lit up all around at the same time, driving away the darkness of the night arrogantly, illuminating the location where Niugai and the others were in a blood-red light.
With the help of the brilliant firelight, Niugai and others looked around.
I could see that there were crowds of people on every roof in front, back, left, and right, about a hundred people.
Everyone raised their bows and arrows, pointing murderously in their direction.
In an instant, arrows rained down.
Although the cavalry led by Niugai were well-equipped and everyone wore light armor, there was no cover or protection in this narrow terrain.
Even if the thief's shooting accuracy was poor, the first wave of intensive shooting, which had been prepared for a long time, killed dozens more lives in an instant.
Due to a series of accidents, not a single person in the family was killed, but one-tenth of the men and horses were lost.
Even Niugai, the commander-in-chief, felt bad, and his subordinates were even more miserable.
At this time, they all knew that they had been ambushed by the thieves, and in panic, they immediately dispersed.
The previous arrogance and self-confidence have long been gone, and everyone has only the word "escape" in their minds at this time.
As a result, they walked around like headless flies for a long time, only to find that all the alleys had long been blocked, and the place had become a terrain similar to a "barbican city".
At this time, the archers on the roof took aim again, and a second wave of arrows rained down.
"Why are you panicking?"
While dodging the arrows, Niu Gai worked hard to organize his formation.
A reckless man has the advantage of being a reckless man. Although he knew that he was careless and underestimated the enemy, he had fallen into the trap of the thief. After he became angry, he turned his heart, poked his finger behind him, and shouted:
"Evacuate this place first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second drum beat sounded.
"Boom!"
From behind, amidst the deafening shouts of death, countless black dots poured out from the left and right alleys along the way, forming a huge human wall, completely blocking their only escape route.
"kill!"
Immediately, a wall of people surged in.
It is impossible to run forward if there is a trench in front, and it is difficult to retreat if there is a blockade behind.
Everyone here at Niugai is in despair.
"Captain, what should we do?"
The soldiers nearby tried their best to help calm the panicked cavalry, while urging General Niugai to think of a solution quickly.
"What should we do? They are just yellow turban thieves. What do we have to fear from thousands of people?"
"Kill out!"
Niu Gai couldn't think of any solution, he could only remind everyone that even if the other party planned an ambush, the Yellow Turban bandits would still be vulnerable.
As he took the lead in charging towards the human wall, the remaining cavalry seemed to wake up.
Yes, they are just yellow turban bandits!
Thinking of this key point, everyone felt confident again and felt that there was still a chance.
So they mustered up their courage again and rushed forward.
At this time, the Tianzhu Battalion and the Tiangang Army were at the forefront of the human wall blocking the enemy, and were already within a short distance.
In an instant, both sides were in close combat.
The fighting between the two sides entered a fever pitch immediately.
Screams rang out again and again!
Then Niugai was confused, and so were all the officers and soldiers.
They cut down countless people on the opposite side, but were also knocked down by the other side at the same time.
The battle losses were almost one to one.
Even though the terrain was narrow and the sudden change made it impossible to form a formation to respond to the enemy, and the greatest advantage of his own cavalry could not be brought into play, Niugai was still dumbfounded by the combat power displayed by this group of thieves.
We have elite soldiers and well-equipped soldiers. We are facing refugees and bandits dressed in coarse linen and sackcloth.
How could a head-on confrontation end like this?
As the cavalry around him were pierced by wooden spears one after another, Niu Gai slashed and dodged the arrows. Countless thoughts were running through his mind, and in the end they were all filled with question marks.
Are these people really Yellow Turban bandits?
How can it be?
How could he be so brave?
Although falling into a trap and being ambushed made him feel both surprised and ashamed, and he regretted not listening to the forbidden advice, he could still accept it happening.
But the combat power displayed by the yellow turban thieves he fought was really puzzling to him.
If this group of thieves were allowed to make up for the disadvantages of their equipment...
Niugai didn't dare to think about it anymore. He took the time to look around and saw that more than half of his own casualties had been lost. Everyone lost the courage to continue fighting and began to scatter in panic.
The tide is over!
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that this situation could not be undone, so he had no choice but to flee hastily toward the city gate with his immediate family members.
At this time, Niugai was still lucky, thinking that he had left a team of men at that time, and if the thieves did not take back control of the city gate, they might be able to escape.
Along the way, under the attack of countless weapons and bows and arrows, screams and the sound of falling horses were heard from all directions.
Then the sound of weapons falling to the ground began to appear, and people's voices saying "We are willing to surrender" came out frequently.
When Niugai finally broke through the last siege, he was riding alone.
Seeing that there was hope for survival, Niugai was overjoyed and continued to gallop forward with all his strength.
The city gate has appeared in front of you!
No problem!
Another flying arrow came, and Niugai roared, turned away, and laughed wildly: "I want to take the life of Nai Gong, how can I do this..."
Unexpectedly, a black shadow appeared in front of him at this moment, as fast as lightning, shooting straight at him, and he was in front of him in an instant.
Niugai took advantage of the moonlight to see the other person's face clearly.
It was the young man behind Fubo.
Well done!
By this time, he had already understood that Fu Bo was pretending to surrender, and he hated the culprit who had put him in such a desperate situation even more than Wang Zheng. Seeing that the other party's nephew came to his door, he cut him off with a sword without hesitation.
when!
The opponent quickly drew his sword and faced him.
The swords collided, making a crisp sound,
Peiran's powerful force came, and Niugai screamed in pain, and the tiger's mouth that had been hit directly by the knife burst.
The long sword was released in response, flying away and falling to the ground.
When he looked horrified, the young man jumped up, his sword suddenly appeared in the sky, and he slashed down.
At this time, half of his body was numb and weak from the shock, and he couldn't react in time. He watched helplessly as the other party performed a set of movements in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
A sharp howl pierced the air.
The head flew up and blood rained all over the sky.
At the last moment of his life, Niugai's eyes were full of shock.
