my causal simulator

Chapter 123
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the universe is quiet.

Outside the south gate of Luo County is a large area of ​​grass and woods.

But hearing a rustling sound, it was like the night wind blowing the weeds and forests, spreading from the south of Luo County, when it was more than a hundred meters away from the city gate.

boo boo...

The insect-like sound, the rustling sound slowly stopped.

"Brother, on the top of the city..."

Ma Xiang waved his right hand slightly, interrupted the words of the people around him, and looked up the city with all his attention.

I saw only a few twenty or thirty torches lit on the top of the city, which was hundreds of meters wide. Although the guards on the top of the city could barely be seen with the help of the firelight, they did not move around. He didn't move, apparently fell asleep.

Just in time!

A cold smile appeared on Ma Xiang's face.

bandit?Rogue?
Of course not, how can his horse appearance be compared to those ordinary rogues?Even the Taipingdao Yellow Turban Army, which is raging in the Central Plains, is nothing in the eyes of Ma Xiang.

He and Ma Xianghui rebelled against each other because of the irreconcilable feud between the Ma family and the Han family!

His ancestor was Ma Heluo, the one who pacified Prince Liu Ju during the witchcraft disaster.

It's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han later rehabilitated the prince Liu Zheng, so Ma Heluo had to take the risk and assassinate Emperor Wu of the Han, but of course he failed.

In this way, it has been in the folk for two or three hundred years, relying on the set of overlord mentality left by the ancestors and the Tiangang Severing Sword in one hand, the Ma family has quite a reputation in the world.

The descendants of the Ma family always have the heart to overthrow the Han Dynasty and avenge their ancestors. However, since the unification of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world has always been stable, and it is not convenient. Until now, the Yellow Turban bandits are everywhere, and the Ma Xiang has gathered to become the king of the mountain, which is quite powerful. Only then did they take advantage of the situation and set up an uprising!
art of war?He has also read a few books, and he was able to win Mianzhu quickly, not just because of the bravery of a group of refugees, just like Luo County tonight.

Although the county seat of Luo County was not big, it was the main road of transportation in Yizhou at this time, and it was also the governor's office of Yizhou. Most of the official documents and appointments of Yizhou were sent from Luo County.

Keeping to this key point, you only need a few fake official documents to deceive most of the cities in Yizhou, so Yizhou is desirable, and then you can even seek the world!
So he first blocked all the official roads and trails in Mianzhu, so that not a single fly could fly out, and cut off all news transmission.

Furthermore, after taking down Mianzhu, they only took a short rest, and immediately assembled the elites, leaving the [-] troops that had already gathered in Mianzhu to move, and only brought the two thousand elites to Luo County overnight.

He understands the reason why soldiers are expensive and fast, and the estimated marching time is just right, arriving at Yinshi in the early hours of the morning, which is the time when the soldiers guarding the city are most relaxed.

Mianzhu was originally located in the north of Luo County, so he deliberately circled this big circle and chose the south gate to attack because the south gate was the farthest from the army camp in Luo County.

This can delay the reaction time of Luo County's military equipment to the greatest extent, and he is afraid that by the time the soldiers gather, he will already be lying comfortably drinking tea in the governor's office.

At this time, Ma Xiang raised his hand slightly forward.

The rustling sound that had just stopped around him immediately resumed, and thousands of people pressed on with their mouths closed.

da da da da...

Hearing the crisp sound of the hook and sickle, a dozen soldiers with hook locks and ropes wrapped around their bodies threw the hook and sickle on the crenels at the top of the city, pulled hard with both hands, and immediately fixed it.

Ma Xiangyin was riding a horse and did not approach. He and a dozen cavalrymen were watching from tens of meters away from the top of the city, and had been paying attention to the movement of the top of the city.

But seeing that the hook and sickle had been put on, more than a dozen people had already started to climb up, but the sleepy defenders on the top of the city didn't realize it.

Seeing that a group of soldiers had turned directly into the city wall, the top of the city was still unaware, and then heard a few muffled groans, apparently those guarding officers and soldiers who were sleeping had been killed by the warriors who sneaked into the top of the city.

Ma Xiang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With such a loose armament and no vigilance, it is easier than taking down Mianzhu.

Now, just wait for those who sneaked into the city to open the city gate.

Hush woo woo...

He blew the worm-sounding signal, and the two thousand elites had quickly gathered towards him, waiting outside the gate of the city.

Put your ear to the city gate, you can hear more than a dozen people running quickly inside, accompanied by the sound of several corpses falling to the ground, and then pulling the chain and the door latch.

The huge crossbar was lifted up, and the heavy city gate was slowly opened.

Ma Xiang no longer hides, draws his knife in his hand, and suddenly shouts in the dark: "Light it up!"

The two thousand soldiers who had already gathered under the front of the city at the same time lit the torches that had been prepared in their hands with flint and steel.

But seeing the originally dark city head suddenly bright, and the city gate has been opened wide at this time.

"go!"

The horse's legs were clamped on the horse's belly, and he rushed forward with a dozen cavalrymen beside him. The distance of tens of meters was already rushed past before the city gate was fully opened.

At this time, Ma Xiang drew his sword in his hand and took the lead. While raising his sword, he rushed into the city and shouted: "Kill Xi Jian and seize the government! The city is full of gentry, let you plunder for a day! Kill! !"

This group of elites is not ordinary refugees, most of the core is the bandits when Ma Jing first gathered the mountains as king, and gathered some people from the green forest. Compared with ordinary civilians, this group of people are all physically strong.

Not only is the combat power far superior, but the heart of killing and tyranny has long been formed. Hearing that after breaking the city, they can be allowed to plunder for a day, everyone's eyes are red like chicken blood.

"Kill it!"

"Kill kill kill!"

The more than two thousand people who had been quiet just now suddenly burst into loud shouts, drew their swords one after another, and charged into the empty gate of the county seat.

It went so smoothly, so smooth that Ma Xiang couldn't believe it.

Ma Xiang has already known all the important locations and branches in the city, such as the Luo County military camp, the governor's office, the county government, and the mansions of the powerful and powerful.

There is a wide and straight road leading from the south gate here, which is Tongnan Avenue. There are many private houses and shops on both sides. At this time, there are no lights and no lights.
And as long as you pass through this south straight road, you will be at the location of the governor's office and the county government. If you control this area first, you can get the governor's military seal, and the Luoxian military camp will win without a fight.

Almost no troops were needed, which was much better than the previously expected battle with the Luoxian defenders.

Ma Xiang's heart was hot, and he led the horse to gallop, but suddenly, he smelled a strange smell in his nose.

He sniffed it vigorously, feeling like sulfur and saltpeter?
At this moment, he was suddenly alert, but before he had time to react, a thick tripping rope was suddenly pulled up a few meters in front of him.

Ma Xiang was shocked, and suddenly raised his right hand that was holding the rein.

It was a bloody horse, a treasure given to Xi Jian by him last year when he robbed the governor of Liangzhou. The man and the horse have been together for a year, and they have long been connected with each other.

At this critical moment, the bloody horse jumped up high, and jumped more than two meters high, seven or eight meters away.

Da da!

The horse's hooves hit the ground and jumped over the tripping rope, but the dozen or so riders following him were out of luck.

Hissing law...

There was a sound of terrified horse neighing, being stopped by the tripping rope, people turned their backs in an instant, and more than a dozen riders fell to the ground at the same time.

All the shouts and killings suddenly stopped at this moment, obviously frightened by this sudden change, only a few figures were seen flashing from the place blocked by the stumbling rope just now.

There is an ambush in Luo County?Did you know that I was waiting to attack the city tonight?You let me wait to enter the city on purpose?Wait, those people who opened the city gate earlier...

A series of question marks lit up in Ma Xiang's mind, but he had no time to figure out any of them.

Ma Xiang was furious, reined in his horse, raised his knife and shouted, "Who is that!"

In the next second, a black shadow flickered slightly on the roof on the left, and a mid-air voice said: "The traitor Ma Xiang, Lin Pingzhi has been waiting here for a long time!"

Ma Xiang was slightly startled.

Lin Pingzhi?who?

But listening to this voice is full of energy and spirit, although it doesn't scream, it is enough to spread throughout the entire Nantong Avenue. Just this inner strength alone is no longer inferior to him, he is definitely a master.

But before the thoughts in Ma Xiang's mind were finished, he followed...

Crash!Crash!Crash!
But seeing more than a hundred people suddenly appeared on the roofs of the bungalows on both sides of Nantong Avenue, and then more than a hundred torches were quickly lit up, and hundreds of people shouted in unison: "The traitor! Lin Pingzhi is here!" I have been waiting for a long time!"

More than a hundred torches suddenly lit up, and hundreds of voices suddenly roared.

Frankly speaking, the number of people is not many, but the kind of shock is extraordinary.

The thieves originally thought that Luo County had already been taken, but most of them were thinking about how to loot and how to rape those beautiful ladies of the gentry tonight. Most of them disappeared silently, but at this moment, extreme joy turned into sorrow, and they were ambushed.

The psychological gap at this moment cannot be easily explained in a few words. The originally strong morale seemed to have a 180-degree reversal in an instant, and it fell to the bottom in an instant. Who cares about how many people are on the roof?

What they were thinking at this moment was that they had already been ambushed by officers and soldiers.

"There are officers and soldiers ambushing!"

"Into his fairy plank, we have been tricked!"

"How do these dog officials know that we are going to attack Luo County at night?!"

The thieves were panicked and panicked for a moment, and many people exclaimed.

Ma Xiang was furious, and shouted: "Stop the chaos! Stop the chaos! There are only a hundred people on both sides of this roof, and we have two thousand! Kill these officers and soldiers for me!"

Before Ma Xiang's roar spread among the thieves, Lin Shuhang was already laughing on the roof:

"Hahaha! How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Just these hundreds of people can slaughter you. Today I will give you a big gift!"

Lin Shuhang took the bow and arrow from the soldier next to him. The arrow was tied with an oilcloth and it had already been lit.

When the horse met him, he remembered the smell of sulfur and saltpeter when he entered the city just now, his face suddenly changed, and at the same time he shouted: "Back! Hurry up, get out of the city gate!"

"Don't leave once you're here! You people who will bring disaster to the country and the people, death is not a pity!"

call out!
Lin Shuhang shot an arrow, aiming at a pile of firewood piled up in the houses on both sides.

Pong!
The firewood was already flammable, and it was covered with sulfur and saltpeter. It really ignited when it was touched, and a big fire exploded suddenly.

At the same time, more than a hundred rockets shot randomly from the roofs on both sides, not aiming at people, but only aiming at the firewood piled in the gaps between the bungalows on both sides.

Hundreds of temporarily gathered firewood piles exploded at the same time, and the entire Nantong Avenue burst into flames in an instant. Not only these firewood piles, but even the bungalows on both sides had been emptied long ago, and all the flammable materials stored inside were also emptied.

With sufficient preparations, two walls of fire that could not be crossed were formed almost instantly on both sides.

The fire blinds the eyes, and the temperature rises sharply. Let alone going to the fire wall, even standing in the center of the street, you feel that you will be roasted by the fire on both sides in an instant.

Although Ma Xiang just reminded that the enemy is few and we are many, how can the bandits, who are already in a state of confusion, calm down and think?At this time, they all turned around and retreated towards the city gate in fear.

But the thieves who ran in the front had just rushed to the gate of the city when they saw a burst of gunshots.

"Yizhou Captain Ma Yi is here!"

"kill!"

I saw a group of military officers with round eyes and beards, leading about 200 people, fully armed and blocked outside the city gate. Strong defensive position.

This city gate can only allow seven or eight people to pass side by side at the same time, but it has to face a piece of shields and dozens of spears, and it is really a one-man gate for a while.
At the same time, armed with long spears, they fired indiscriminately, stabbing as many as they came out, and there was no way to rush away.

The thieves were terrified, and they dared not rush to the city gate to die, but wanted to rush to the top of the city first.

But at this moment, two to three hundred torches lit up on the previously empty city, and at the same time, a burst of arrows shot down.

There was a big fire behind him, and the deadly gun shield array and arrow rain in front of him. The bandits who were aggressive just now were already in despair and panic, crying for their father and mother.
