Chapter 11: One Arrow
On the four walls of the small Li city, there were shouts of killing from all directions. The yellow turban thieves clenched their steel knives tightly with their two rows of teeth, and climbed up the ladder with hands and feet. After rushing to the top of the city, they immediately roared , slashing at the defender closest to him.
The number of yellow turban thieves is increasing, and the top of the city is gradually occupied by yellow turban thieves. The defenders on the top of the city are gradually divided into pieces, and they fall into a situation where they are fighting each other.
"Get out of here, Lao Tzu!"
A yellow-turban thief with a rather ferocious face, the steel knife was covered with blood, had already killed three strong men, suddenly a spear shot out from the darkness and pierced his chest.
The yellow turban thief firmly held the spear that had penetrated his body, and raised his head in disbelief, wanting to see who killed him.
"Hmph! Die." The visitor kicked him on the chest, and the spear returned to his palm. He waved the spear without saying a word. Although the yellow turban thieves around were brave, none of them could block his three shots. There were more than a dozen powerful guards in leather armor, and the group was unstoppable among the yellow turban thieves.
"Master County Lieutenant, I can't hold it anymore!"
It turned out that the hero with the spear was Sun Chang, the county captain of Licheng County. Although he was proud of his bravery, the Yellow Turban bandit was several times stronger than himself, so at most he was just protecting himself.
During the night battle, both sides had gains and losses. The yellow scarf thieves couldn't see who was their own on the top of the city, so they couldn't arrange archers to suppress the defenders under the top of the city like during the daytime siege, and the defenders were also fighting blindly. However, the Yellow Turban Bandits came prepared, with a large number of them, the defenders of Licheng were gradually exhausted.
Gao Dayan saw pieces of yellow scarves fluttering on the top of the city, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Little Licheng, you can take it today, take my knife, Sun Chang's head is about to be taken!"
Among the four walls, the south wall was the weakest in defense, so Gao Dayan personally rushed to the south wall to supervise the battle. Seeing that the situation was good, he immediately ordered his soldiers to put on armor, grabbed the steel knife, and rushed up on the ladder.
Despite his bravery, Sun Chang was already exhausted after killing seven or eight Yellow Turban bandits, and nearly half of the dozen or so Han soldiers who guarded him were killed or injured.
"Sun Chang, let me borrow your head!"
A wisp of knife light flashed at the same time with a shout, Sun Chang didn't have time to think about it, he raised his spear horizontally, and the barrel of the gun seemed to be chopped straight by a steel knife.
Among the county's armaments, most of the long spears are made of hard wood with an iron tip. When the wooden pole was split by the blade, it was instantly broken into two pieces. The sharp wind of the knife came in an instant. Sun Chang reluctantly turned his head, only to feel There was a sharp pain in the shoulder, and he turned his head to see that the steel knife with the tall eyes had already hit the shoulder and was stuck by the shoulder blade.
The knife cut Sun Chang's skin to pieces, but luckily it didn't hit the head. He kicked Gao Dayan away, and the steel knife was pulled out suddenly from his shoulder, red blood sprayed out suddenly, and the painful Sun Chang almost passed out.
"Hey, one knife for one kick, it's worth the deal." Gao Dayan smiled coldly, it was nothing if he was kicked by Sun Chang, but it would be a big deal if Sun Chang was hacked by him.
Seven or eight powerful soldiers surrounded Sun Chang: "Protect your lord!"
Gao Dayan snorted, and the bandit soldiers behind him had already surrounded seven or eight powerful soldiers, and Sun Chang, who was covering his shoulders, was suddenly exposed in front of him.
"Hey, breaking Licheng, beheading Sun Chang, and capturing Song He, the position of the vanguard general is mine?"
In front of Gao Dayan, there seemed to be a beautiful scene of him leading the Yellow Turban Army across Qingzhou, splitting the soil and dividing the land.
The shouts of the defenders gradually weakened, and Sun Chang's vision gradually dimmed due to massive blood loss. The dark night seemed endless, and even Gao Dayan's shouts were dimmed.
Is Licheng about to collapse?
Sun Chang is a local tyrant in Licheng County, and he is quite brave. Therefore, after Song He came to Licheng County to serve, he was promoted to the county captain. The rich and powerful families in the city should be washed with blood. The wealth and food accumulated by generations will be looted. All the men will be beheaded, and the women will be used as military prostitutes.
Sun Chang's head was so dizzy that he couldn't even dodge the blade with his big eyes so close at hand.
Zheng!
An obscure sound of twisting strings was slowly pulled up, as if a longbow was pulled up with great force, and it made a strange sound in the dark night, standing out from the crowd's shouts of killing.
Sun Chang frowned, and suddenly his eardrums were filled with an explosive voice, as if there was only one voice left in the world.
collapse!
An arrow with carved feathers shot out from the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, and shot at the blade of the tall and big eyes with lightning speed. With a sharp tiger's mouth, he could hardly hold the handle of the knife.
"Hiss..." Gao Dayan couldn't help gasping, the arrow was so fierce that it shot a gap in the blade, Gao Dayan's tiger's mouth was cracked, and a bright red snake came out of the wound.
"In the face of a great battle, is there still time to distract yourself?"
A sneer came from the darkness above the city, and when Gao Dayan raised his head again, there was already a cold light in front of his eyes, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, filling his entire vision.
Pooh!
A long spear pierced Gao Dayan's throat, cutting off all his vitality in an instant.
"Liu Yuqing is here in Licheng, who dares to fight me?"
A loud shout resounded through the city, shocking thousands of troops!
"Gao Shuai is dead, Gao Shuai was picked and killed by him!"
"Liu Yuqing, the Liu Yuqing who cuts the chariot and rides the young commander."
At the same time, a dull loud noise burst out in the darkness, rumbling war drums sounded, and shouts of killing were loud, and an unknown number of people rushed out in the darkness, all of them were full of momentum, and rushed to the top of the city like a new force On top of that, the Yellow Turban Thieves didn't know how many people there were. In addition, Xiaoshuai Gao Dayan was shot and killed by Liu Ye, and the originally strong fighting spirit was quickly extinguished.
Hundreds of yellow turban thieves stopped fighting with Licheng defenders, and hurriedly retreated down the ladder. The yellow turban thieves disappeared after a while.
And the shouts of killing from the north wall and the west wall gradually weakened, and it seemed that the Yellow Turban Army on the four sides of the city had already begun to retreat.
Sun Chang suddenly gained strength: "Liu Yuqing, come here."
Liu Ye put away the spear, casually tore off a strip of cloth from his sleeve, wrapped it around Sun Chang's shoulder a few times, and bandaged the wound.
Looking at the unknown figures in the darkness, Sun Chang took a breath and said, "Liu Yuqing, when did so many soldiers appear in Licheng?"
