Liu Bei checked his subordinates one by one, each with two swords, round shields, and crossbows. The military Hou Guan Yu stood behind Zhang Fei, tied his sword tightly to him, and whispered to him to follow him closely, and not to kill him so hard that he could run around.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Brother Yun, if I die, you will send my body home."

Guan Yu glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "If you die, you will die. Where can you bury your bones?"

"My home is only a dozen miles away, just go there. You told my father that I was brave enough to fight outside and did not embarrass him."

"Did you do little to embarrass you?" Guan Yu cursed with a smile, "If my uncle asks, I will say that Yide fell into the moat and drowned."

Zhang Fei's handsome face suddenly pulled down. He pretended to be angry and said, "If you die, I will still go into the river to feed the fish. Anyway, your home is in Jie County, Hedong, and I can't send it back."

Guan Yu smiled, but the expression on his face was very bitter. Zhang Fei's words reminded him of his hometown and his relatives. He hasn't been home for six years. Are his parents okay? Is his wife okay? There is a battle of life and death in front of him, and maybe he can't see them again.

"Brother Yun, if I don't die this time, I will accompany you back to my hometown to see." Zhang Fei saw the sadness in Guan Yu's heart and turned around to comfort him.

Guan Yu patted Zhang Fei's thick shoulders and said nothing.

Guan Yu has been blacksmiths for generations. Guan Yu has learned to make ironwork with his father since he was a child. He was brave and powerful when he was young, and he was jealous of evil and wanted to fight. He was a famous local fighter. At the age of nineteen, he went to Jiecheng to sell iron tools and saw an old man lying on the ground with bruises and cried loudly. Out of righteous indignation, Guan Yu went up to ask. The old man said that he was the gentleman of the county school, Han Zheng and Han Shouyi. His daughter was occupied and ravaged by the rich man Lu Xiong in the city. He ran to the Lv Mansion to ask for people, but not only did he not get anyone, but also was beaten out by the servants of the Lv Mansion. Lu Xiong was a relative of the Zhongchang attendant Guo Sheng family. He was fishing and meat in the local people, bullying men and women, and did all the bad things. At that time, because of the salt pond in Jiecheng, the groundwater was salty and unemployed, and only a few mouthfuls of sweet water

The wells were scattered everywhere in the city for the people to drink. Lu Xiong colluded with the government and filled in several sweet water wells in the city, leaving only a sweet water well in his yard. He had to pay for the water to get it. There was an additional provision that only young and beautiful women were allowed to fetch water, otherwise they were not allowed to enter his door. The young women who came in were either teased by him or raped by him. Although the people in Jiecheng were angry, Lu Xiong had a backstage and could not do anything to him. After hearing this, Guan Yu was furious and broke into Lu Xiong's mansion that night, killing Lu Xiong's family, plus dozens of Hakka, a total of 74 people, rescued Han Zheng's daughter. Then Guan Yu climbed out of the city wall overnight and ran back home to disperse his family. He fled to the northern border.

When Guan Yu wandered to Zhuocheng, his beard had grown more than two feet long. He probably no one recognized him, so he sold tofu in the city. Guan Yu remained unchanged and was still easy to meddle in other people's business. He always tried to stand up for his bad habits, so he met Zhang Fei, a butcher who sold meat in the city.

Zhang Fei himself does not sell meat. His family is a little rich man in Zhuocheng. There is a manor and land outside the city. Zhang Fei looks handsome, like his mother, but he has a bad temper, is not good at studying and practicing martial arts, and is also clamoring to join the army to fight. Of course, his father was unwilling to force Zhang Fei to study at home. He hoped that his son would become an official in the future and would be glorious. Zhang Fei did not read the book, but his handwriting was well written and his handwriting was a bit famous in Zhuocheng.

Guan Yu's martial arts made Zhang Fei admire him very much. He asked Guan Yu to go home to practice martial arts with him. Guan Yu ignored him at all and still sold his tofu. The young Zhang Fei was helpless and had to invite Guan Yu to drink every now and then, and asked him to teach his martial arts. The two were both teachers and friends. After a few years, they were inseparable, just like brothers. When Zhang Fei got married, he asked his wife to toast Guan Yu and call him uncle. His wife was very unhappy. What does a rough man selling tofu have to do with the Zhang family?

Although the emperor has several general amnesty in recent years, Guan Yu dared not go home. Lu Xiong was dead, and his relatives and friends were still there. If they knew that Guan Yu had returned home, they would not let him go. When Liu Bei summoned the Yi soldiers in Zhuocheng, Guan Yu, who was desperate, ran away. He thought that with his martial arts, he might be able to make a military achievements in the future, and he might be able to get a job or a half. When he went home, he would see who would dare to touch him and his family. He heard that Guan Yu was going to follow Liu Bei to Qingzhou Pingyuan County, but Zhang Fei was anxious and ran away from Guan Yu without telling his parents.

In the past two years, they fought many battles with Liu Bei. Because of their outstanding martial arts and repeated military achievements, they were promoted to military marquis and fake military marquis. Liu Bei valued them very much and regarded them as their brothers and were used as their right-hand men.

"Wait for a moment, Lord Tian Kaitian attacked the left city wall, Lord Wu Chi attacked the right city wall, we attacked the city tower directly under the cover of a strong archer." Liu Bei checked the soldiers' equipment and walked to the two of them and said, "I'll go from the right side of the suspension bridge, and you two are from the left side of the suspension bridge."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "The two lieutenants also took action in person?"

Liu Bei nodded and said to the two solemnly: "Yun Chang, Yide, don't come down after going up. Unless you die, you are not allowed to come down."

Guan Yu looked up at the towering city tower and sneered: "Don't worry, sir, after going up, we will cut down the big flag directly. Once the big flag falls, the rebels will surely be in chaos."

In the distance, Liu Yu and Zou Jing formed a formation with a thousand infantrymen, followed by Gongsun Zan's cavalry. As soon as the city gate opened, the army would rush in.

＝＝＝

The war drums sounded, and in an instant, arrows were like locusts, people rushed, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Liu Bei held the shield in one hand and the sword in the other, standing at the forefront of the assault team. He looked at the left city wall and the right city wall, anxiously waiting for the charge moment.

Last year, after he was defeated by the rebels near Guangzong in Jizhou, he was almost wiped out. For this reason, he always wanted to avenge his dead brothers, and even more wanted to avenge his former shame. Today, as long as he enters the city, he can avenge himself.

Tian Kai and Wu Chi personally led their troops to attack. The fierce attack made the rebel soldiers guarding the city unable to resist, and the sound of war drums asking for help came one after another. Cheng Qian, the rebel leader who was defending the southern city, had to transfer the soldiers stationed in the city tower to both sides of the city wall to support it again and again. Liu Yu saw that the time was ripe, and decisively waved his hand to order: "Attack the city tower."

＝＝＝

Liu Bei was excited and looked back and shouted: "Brothers, kill me..."

Sixty assault soldiers were divided into two teams. Under the leadership of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, they roared all the way, crossed the moat like lightning, set up a ladder, and swarmed up.

The soldiers guarding the city on the city tower braved the dense array of arrows of the Han army and rushed to the edge of the city wall. The rolling stone pounding trees suddenly fell like rain, and arrows flew everywhere. Liu Bei rushed to the front. He had just let a whizzing down the wood, but in a blink of an eye, he was dizzy and was almost unable to stand up and climb down the ladder. Liu Bei had no idea of ​​survival at this time. He stared at his blood-red eyes and grinned and shouted loudly. There was only one thought in his mind. He rushed up and rushed up the city tower.

The dense long arrows on the city tower shot to his shield at close range. The huge "dongdong" sound was terrifying to his ears. Black clusters of arrows penetrated the shield and jumped wildly in front of Liu Bei's eyes. More clusters of arrows were nailed directly to Liu Bei's iron helmet, making a "ding-ding-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-dink-d

A big rock hit the sky, and a round shield shattered with a "boom". Liu Bei grabbed the ladder with a quick eyes and grabbed the ladder with force. At the same time, he roared and hit the huge rock. The huge rock was pushed by him and hit him on the back with a change of direction. Liu Bei was hit hard, and he opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of blood. The spear stabbed.

"Go to die..."

Liu Bei was so angry that he grabbed three spears that had been stabbed with both hands. He used both arms to break one and grab the next one. Another spear was pulled off the city wall with its owner by Liu Bei. At this moment, a treasury leader who was immediately behind Liu Bei grabbed Liu Bei's ankle with both hands.

"Sir, go..."

Liu Bei understood it and shouted with all his strength. His agile body rose into the air with the help of the treasure chief. Liu Bei was in the air, and his hands were shaken and his spear pierced through a rebel soldier who was raising a stone to throw it. At the same time, he punched the archer who raised his bow and shot.

"Swish..." Li Xiao's long arrow flew into the sky with his iron helmet and a string of Mars.

"Boom..." Liu Bei punched the archer and smashed the archer out of the city wall.

"Brothers, go up, go up..." Liu Bei was frantically flew up and down with his left spear, pulled out a long sword from behind with his right hand, swept across the army, and blocked the invincibility. Several rebel soldiers guarding the battlements of the city wall were cut by him in a blink of an eye. The garrison leader and several Han soldiers took the opportunity to rush up.

"Form a formation, form a formation..." Liu Bei shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he was a beast, bravely taking the lead, "Brothers, kill, kill..."

＝＝＝

Guan Yu had one hand, one shield, one arrow, one stone, and one wood blocked by him. He was like an agile cheetah, quickly climbing to the top of the ladder.

"Yide, get up, hurry..."

Without hesitation, Zhang Fei grabbed Guan Yu's armor, used his hands and feet, and rushed to the city wall while stepping on Guan Yu's head. "I'll chop you alive..." Zhang Fei casually smashed a rebel who rushed up with a stone and flew backwards. At the same time, the sword chopped off, chopping off a spearman and cutting his flesh and blood, and his head was chopped open.

Guan Yu rushed up immediately afterwards. He smashed one with one shield, then pulled out two swords from behind, looked at the rebels rushing towards him with disdain, and shouted in a deep voice: "Yide, follow me to cut off the big cage and go..."

Zhang Fei kicked the enemy in front of him and looked back at the Han soldiers who were hedging up and shouted: "Let's go, brothers, come on, cut off the big cage..."

Guan Yu roared forward, slashed left and right with both swords, and no one could stop him. Zhang Fei followed closely behind, with several Han soldiers holding swords and shields, and fighting for the first place.

Liu Bei was on the left, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were on the right, and Han soldiers were on the right, and swords and axes were all in unstoppable.

Cheng Qian led a team of personal soldiers to kill him, and the two sides were entangled in the narrow place of the city tower and fought endlessly. The rebels wanted to force the Han army back to the city, and the Han army had to hold on to this singular land to cover more soldiers to go to the city. Cheng Qian killed seven Han soldiers in a row, and met Guan Yu head-on. The tall and mighty Guan Yu roared wildly, chopped off with one knife, and immediately chopped Cheng Qian and his people and the knife into two pieces. The death of the leader even angered the rebel soldiers. They ignored their lives and rushed forward, and the scene became even more bloody.

The Han soldiers fought less and less, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.

While fighting hard against the enemy, Liu Bei shouted wildly: "Cut down the big crow, chop down it..."

Guan Yu, who was more than ten steps away, was stabbed by a rebel soldier. This knife instantly aroused his ferocity, "How dare you cut me down, go to die..."

He chopped off the head of the rebel soldier with one knife, and then pierced the enemy's chest and abdomen. The rebel's spear flew over. Guan Yu abandoned the left hand knife, grabbed the rebel's spear, and cut open the enemy's throat with one knife. The hot blood immediately sprayed Guan Yu's face.

"Yide, follow me..."

Guan Yu roared repeatedly, holding a knife in both hands, and under Zhang Fei's cover, he rushed towards the big crow more than ten steps away like a bloodthirsty beast. Every time he went further, the enemy soldiers would fall down. Guan Yu took nine steps in a row, and 17 corpses were already lying down at his feet. The sword was broken, but Guan Yu still did not retreat, and his fists and feet were at the same time, killing three more people.

"knife……"

Zhang Fei shouted, snatched the enemy's spear, and handed over his sword. Guan Yu started the sword and faced the densely intercepted enemy soldiers. One sword was three lives. The blood splashed out, and a blood mist was formed in the sky. Guan Yu rushed out of the blood mist, aiming at the flagpole of the big flag and swung the sword.

Zhang Fei's spear flew up and down around Guan Yu, and he picked up all kinds of weapons that were cut from all over the world. In this short moment, Zhang Fei was hit by three swords and seven guns in a row. Although he was full of heavy armor, his whole body was covered in blood. Liu Bei arrived, and he protected Zhang Fei, and the Han soldiers who followed Liu Bei were immediately killed. They protected Liu Bei with their bodies.

Under the big flag, dozens of people gathered together and shouted loudly. The soldiers on both sides sacrificed their lives and chopped them freely. They saw blood radiating and broken limbs flying across the sky, which was a terrible sight.

Guan Yu slashed hard, chopping seven times in one breath, and the knife broke. Guan Yu took a quick step back, aimed his whole body with all his strength at the flagpole and hit him, "Down..."

With a "click", the tall flagpole, a half-thick ruler, broke, and the big flag fell down obliquely, then flipped down the city tower and fell to the city.

"Kill..." The cheers were shocking in an instant, and all the Han soldiers were motivated and shouted in unison, attacking and killing extremely fiercely.

When the flag fell, the rebel soldiers were shocked and their morale dropped sharply. After a short period of crazy counterattack, the defenses on the entire city wall suddenly collapsed, and the rebel soldiers began to retreat like a tide.

＝＝＝

"Beat the drum, beat the drum..."

Liu Yu raised his sword excitedly and shouted, "Children... kill..."

Gongsun Zan saw the big crow on the city tower and immediately ran along the cavalry camp, "Brothers, prepare to charge..."

Tian Kai and Wu Chi had already personally attacked the city tower. They commanded the siege soldiers to attack quickly along the long stone steps. They were about to rush to the city to open the city gate.

The rebels had just fled to the city, and Zhao Cheng came with reinforcements. He took the lead and counterattacked wildly with his soldiers. The two sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat under the city tower.

The Han soldiers on the city put down the suspension bridge. Zou Jing and his soldiers quickly crossed the suspension bridge, gathered under the city gate, waited for the city gate to open and then entered the city to attack.

Zhao Cheng rode on the horse, waving his long halberd constantly, urging his soldiers to fight bloody battles and never retreat.

Liu Bei led his more than 20 subordinates to attack at the forefront. He saw Zhao Cheng from afar and shouted loudly: "Kill the rebel general, kill him..."

Guan Yu tried his best to throw an enemy soldier in front of him, and just looked up and saw Zhao Cheng. He was surging with his blood, and raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, follow me..."

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly moved closer, using Guan Yu as an arrow, and struggling to kill Zhao Cheng as he tried to break through the thorns. The rebels were layer after layer, as if they could never kill them. Zhao Cheng saw the Han army coming quickly and slowly retreated.

"Yide, throw a gun and shoot him, shoot him..." Guan Yu couldn't help but feel anxious and roared angrily when he saw Zhao Cheng retreating further and further away.

Liu Bei looked back and shouted, "Blade and axe driver, protect Zhang Fei, protect him..."

Zhang Fei took a step back and aimed at Zhao Cheng and threw the spear in his hand out. In the past, he often practiced projection at home, and had always thrown hairless. The spear rotated violently in the air, roaring violently, drawing a beautiful arc. Zhao Cheng suddenly found a spear shot from the air. Without thinking, he turned over and rolled off the war horse in the screams of the soldiers. The spear was nailed straight into the horse's back with a "huh...", and the war horse neighed and suddenly became angry, jumped and kicked, and rushed around. The scene was in chaos. Zhao Cheng caught off guard and was watched by the war horse twice, in a mess. The soldiers hurriedly dragged him to a safe place.

But for a moment, the stalemate situation became a one-sided situation.

The soldiers of the Han army thought that the rebel leader was killed, and suddenly cheered and their morale was like a rainbow. They shouted forward one by one, and their courage was unstoppable. The soldiers of the rebel army thought that their Shangguan had been killed, and their morale was relieved. They were immediately unwilling to fight and retreated one after another. The defeat was like a mountain of defeat.

The Han soldiers who were waiting under the city had been impatient. They saw that the city gate had just been pulled open and immediately rushed in, and the sound of killing sounded up and down the city tower.

＝＝＝

Gongsun Zan led the cavalry to slash and slash, rushed to the north city gate as fast as possible, and seized the cross-helf bridge. Zhao Cheng fled in panic with hundreds of people.

The rebels in the city suffered heavy casualties. After losing command, they became even more chaotic. After barely resisting for a while, they surrendered one after another.

Liu Yu led a large group of troops into Zhuocheng.

"Tell General Zhenbei that Zhuocheng has come down, and we will arrive at Jicheng immediately."

＝＝＝

Seeing Li Hong's army stopped moving thirty miles away from Jicheng, Zhang Chun was very anxious and repeatedly sent Wuwan's iron cavalry to provoke, but Li Hong just didn't move.

On that day, Li Hong received the news from Liu Yu and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he knew that Zhuocheng had been taken down. What he was most worried about was that the supply of food and grass was not enough. Now Zhuocheng has been down, and the rebels are guarding the enemy from both sides. In such an unfavorable situation, will the rebels still want to fight to the death? But now Li Hong has the confidence to win.
To be continued...
