    Bao Xin led two thousand elite cavalry and took the Yongqiu road from Jiyin County to Xuchang, clearing away the bandits along the way. At this time, he was contentedly leading the troops to rest and waiting for the report of the expedition.  .  The cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period cannot actually be regarded as cavalry in the true sense. Because there are no stirrups, it is simply difficult to perform various difficult slashing or sprinting movements on horseback. Only those who are extremely skilled in equestrian skills can do it.  shoot.  The cavalry at this time is just a fast-moving unit. When it encounters the enemy, it still needs to dismount to meet the enemy.  The elite soldiers are nothing more than three things: first, the soldiers are young and strong and have combat experience; second, they are invincible along the way, so their morale is like a rainbow; third, they are equipped with swords and armor, and have been trained well on weekdays.  white.  "Report to the general!" A junior high school student flew off his horse and touched the ground with one knee.  "Quick report!" "Yes, there is a canyon ten miles ahead, with lush vegetation on both sides, a very steep slope, two miles long, and then a plain, leading directly to the north gate of Xuchang!" The primary school observed very carefully, and the report was clear and organized.  Bao Xin nodded, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said to the generals behind him: "The terrain in the canyon ahead is dangerous, and there may be an ambush. Who among you dares to go as a vanguard to explore the way?" A man in a blue cloak  The partial general took a step forward, clasped his fists and said: "The general is incompetent, but I am willing to lead two hundred soldiers to repel the bandits' ambush!" Bao Xin squinted his eyes and nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with this partial general, and said: "  I will equip you with a hundred crossbowmen, and I wish you victory!" It's not that he is so arrogant that he believes that three hundred people can defeat the ambush, but he is more aware of the enemy's strength: a group of people wielding hoes and daggers, wearing no clothes.  No matter how large the number of yellow scarf thieves who cover their bodies are, they will never be a match for the regular army.  The general shouted, ordered his troops and horses to rush into the canyon, and before he could shoot arrows, he killed hundreds of people from the uphill slopes on both sides.  The general knew this, so he did not panic and commanded the troops to maintain their formation to defend against the enemy.  Bao Xin smiled contemptuously: These yellow scarf thieves have probably never seen the art of war. Do they think they can ambush this general?  How naive, I only sent a vanguard and let them show their weakness. Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark, it's time to charge!  He waved to the flag commander, and after a while the war drums sounded, with the rhythm going from slow to fast. Finally, with the drums as dense as raindrops, more than a thousand soldiers rushed into the crowded slender canyon with loud shouts of killing.  .  Outside the south gate of Xuchang, there were densely packed people wearing yellow scarves. They were holding all kinds of weapons - wooden sticks, hammers, hoes there were at least three to four thousand people.  Mi Zhu climbed onto the tower and looked at the yellow turbans all over the mountains and plains, frowning and saying nothing.  Han Song was even more surprised and confused: There were only a thousand or so Yellow Turban thieves, so why did there suddenly appear to be so many more people?  The guards on the city wall were even more frightened. They had not experienced much fighting, but suddenly they saw an enemy with three or four times more troops. Before they fought, they were already timid. They were afraid that when the battle horn sounded, they would be able to fight.  A third of the soldiers fled.  Mi Zhu cleared his throat and shouted to the defenders on the city: "Soldiers guarding the city, you are the only barrier for all the people in Xuchang City. Once the city is lost, the people in the city will have no choice but to be trampled by thieves! That is  A living life, even the life of your friend, your relative, or your loved one! Today, we are no longer fighting for our own survival, but to protect our loved ones and maintain our lives.  Dignity! We will never retreat!" He was a civil servant, but he said such inspiring words at this critical moment, which made Zhang Kai and others admire him.  Zhang Kai took the lead and shouted at the top of his lungs: "We will never retreat! We will never retreat!" The other soldiers were also inspired by this momentum, and they raised their arms and shouted: "We will never retreat! We will never retreat!" For a moment, the south gate  The soldiers on the city walls responded one after another, raising their arms and shouting, and their momentum was high.  Zhang Kai struck while the iron was hot, commanding his soldiers to position themselves in a good position and lay stones to prevent the enemy from attacking the city. The people in the city knew that once the city was broken, they would never survive, so they volunteered to help carry the stones and make fires for cooking. The soldiers and civilians vowed to defend to the end.  Xuchang City.  On the hill below the city, a young man wearing a white long-sleeved robe showed a cold smile on his face: "A group of idiots who are overestimating their own capabilities. They are just killing chickens to scare monkeys. They have to let the world know who this Central Plains belongs to."  Yes! I¡¯ll leave it to the three generals here. We¡¯ll see you in the city later!¡± The three burly men hurriedly bowed to salute, but when they bowed, there was nothing in front of them except a patch of green grass.  Dancing with the wind.  As soon as Zhang Kai finished setting up the defensive formation, he heard loud shouts of killing from the city. Hundreds of yellow scarf thieves in ragged clothes and holding various farm tools rushed over.  Zhang Kai commanded calmly:?Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows, shoot them back!  " Arrows rained down from the sky. The yellow turban thieves below had no fighting skills and no armor. In an instant, nearly half of them were injured and fell to the ground, wailing all over the field. But despite this, many yellow turban thieves still rushed to the city and stood up against the falling rocks.  The first wave of yellow turban thieves had just finished charging, and the second wave of yellow turban thieves came over again. Each of these people had fleshy faces, bare upper body, and held steel knives. They climbed up quickly like butchers.  Zhang Kai secretly screamed inwardly that it was too bad. It turned out that the first wave of yellow scarf thieves were old and weak soldiers, and they were used to attract the firepower of the archers, so that the suicide squads who actually attacked the city could climb up the ladder and seize the city with minimal casualties.  . He didn¡¯t dare to ignore it. He gave a loud shout and chopped down an enemy who had just stepped onto the city wall. He shouted and joined the team fight. Seeing that the enemy had climbed onto the city wall so quickly, Han Song was so scared that he sat down.  On the chair, he had no idea. ¡°Hurry up and send a hundred people from the north gate to support!  Go quickly!  Mi Zhu grabbed a soldier and shouted. The soldier shouted and rushed down the city wall. "Hold on, hold on a little longer, Bao Xin, come quickly, otherwise you will have to wait for me to collect the body!"  "Mi Zhu also took out his sword and held it in his hand, his palms unknowingly soaked with sweat. "Compared to the south of the city where the fighting was in full swing, the north of the city was a peaceful and peaceful scene. Although the soldiers were tense,  But from morning to noon, not even a single moving thing was seen. "Report!"  A soldier ran over, sweating profusely, and said, "Report to the general. The south of the city has been violently attacked by thieves. The war is tense. The prefect sent an order to the general to send a hundred elite troops to support!"  "    "knew!  You go aside and rest first, I will order my troops right now!  "When the general turned around, he saw a short soldier blocking the front with a smile on his face. Behind him stood a fair-skinned soldier. He looked carefree and looked like a new recruit. "General, send us to the south of the city.  We promise to defend the city wall and not let the enemy cross the city wall!  "The short soldier slapped his chest loudly, and then pulled the recruit behind him. The recruit said lazily: "Yes, we will definitely be fine. General, please believe us!  " The general patted the short man on the shoulder and said: "Guarding Xuchang requires heroes like this who dare to take on the responsibility. However, the prefect has designated elite soldiers to be selected. You two can guard here!  "These two people are Xiao Ming and Zhang Wei. "Xiao Ming's so-called method of sneaking into the tower was to ask Zhang Wei to knock out the two soldiers on duty and throw them into the woodshed, then put on their clothes and stand up early.  On the tower, Zhang Wei didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but he couldn't help but want to teach the Yellow Turban thieves a lesson, so he followed Xiao Ming and stood together at the North City Gate.  The morning was calm, Xiao Ming was a little patient at first, but soon he started to complain, but he was afraid that the enemy would rush over again just after he left, so he could only stand here patiently. He heard that the south gate was tightening.  Immediately, as if on stimulants, they dragged Zhang Wei to come and volunteer. Little did they know that in the eyes of the general, these two people were completely incompatible with the elite, and were even classified into the ranks of the old, weak, sick and disabled. How could this be possible?  Don't you want him to be depressed? "Xiao Ming stood on the city wall angrily, without saying a word, and the spear in his hand hit the ground like a vent, which attracted the side glances of the soldiers nearby. Zhang Wei gently pulled Xiao Ming's clothes and whispered.  Said: "You must not take it lightly. If my estimate is correct, this is the enemy's plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west!  They pretended to attack the south gate and deliberately ignored the north gate. After these elites passed by, they should attack here by force!  "He was just making nonsense, hoping to scare Xiao Ming into standing guard honestly. Even if there were no enemies coming from the north gate, he had already thought of an excuse. It was just a miscalculation. Who can predict what will happen?  Ah! Xiao Ming really fell into the trap, and immediately changed his state, standing on the city in high spirits, motionless. Zhang Wei was laughing in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only stand upright with Xiao Ming, but it was just too boring.  After a while, the upper and lower eyelids started to fight. ¡°Brother, your calculation is really accurate. Someone is coming!  "Xiao Ming pulled Zhang Wei's arm excitedly, and the latter suddenly woke up. "I saw seven people coming down from the city, all wearing black clothes and white sleeves, led by a young man, handsome in appearance, but with a charming aura.  A little bit neither tomboy nor girl. "Zhentianjiao!"  ?  How could they appear here? They are so haunting!  "Zhang Wei moved his stiff joints and thought: I haven't moved my muscles for a long time. It's the right time to catch a few alive and ask where Zhang Sheng went. "The general is here."Some weirdos, I don't know whether they are enemies or friends, shouted from the city wall: "Those below, don't go any further. Xuchang has closed the city. If you take one more step forward, we will shoot arrows. Leave quickly."  !¡± Those people seemed to have not heard anything and walked towards the city gate like they were walking alone. The leading man smiled charmingly at the general and said: ¡°You¡¯re welcome, just shoot if you want, we are here.  Come to attack the city!" The general had never seen such an arrogant person, but he did not dare to be careless. He said to the soldiers on the city: "The crossbowmen are ready! They don't have a ladder, so they can't get up!" He just finished speaking.  , suddenly the vision blurred, the seven people under the city disappeared, and suddenly a cold voice came from behind: "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, we don't need ladders to attack the city!"
