The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

() The horseshoes were rumbling, Lu Yi led two thousand cavalry, and rushed towards Maocheng day and night.Don't want to stop for a moment.

This made Xia Houde sneer, and couldn't help saying: "General Lu, it's just a bunch of thieves, do you need to be so serious?"

"Thiefs?" Lu Yi shook his head, with a serious look on his face, and said seriously: "The Black Mountain Army is not an ordinary bandit. In its heyday, it was known as a million bandits. Even my uncle had to join forces with Yuan Shao to take Zhang Yan defeated!"

This is an old story, but it is very clear in Lu Yi's mind.Because, long before coming to Maocheng, he had inquired about the situation at the time in detail, and judged the combat strength of the Black Mountain Army in turn.

Zang Ba also nodded, and interjected: "When I was in Mount Tai, many people talked about the prestige of the Black Mountain Army. They said that there were eight generals in the hands of Zhang Yan in Black Mountain. He once sent someone to recruit me, promising that if I can lead the crowd to vote, I will be named the ninth general!"

"Since this happened!" Lu Yi was taken aback, looked at Zang Ba with a simple and honest face, and suddenly felt a kind of palpitation in his heart.Zang Ba's martial arts, although not top-notch, are still top-notch.

Marching and fighting is even more methodical. Even Zhang Liao once praised himself in private, this man is a good general!

But such a character can only be ranked at the end of the eight generals. Could it be that the ability of Zhang Yan's eight generals is higher than that of Zang Ba.

If that was the case, it would be much more difficult than expected for him to resist the massive attack of the Black Mountain Army during his trip.

"My lord, don't listen to Lao Zang's nonsense. In fact, Zhang Yan's eight generals are just that. Three people!"

Zhang Liao shook his head with a smile, seeing that Lu Yi seemed to be misled by Zang Ba's words, he explained it like this.The eight generals of the Montenegrin Army did not pay much attention.

"General Zhang is right. Back then, the envoy Zhang Yan sent to Mount Tai claimed to be a general of the eight tribes. As a result, I fought with him and found that he was about the same ability as Wu Dun, so I was worried. It also faded away. Immediately rejected Zhang Yan's solicitation."

Zang Ba showed a simple and honest smile on his face.Briefly tell about the intersection with Zhang Yan.In fact, of course it's not that simple.

At the beginning, the eight generals sent by Zhang Yan were extremely arrogant. As soon as they went to Mount Tai, they immediately wanted to make Zang Ba surrender.In the end, Zang Ba was furious, and he shot the man himself, spitting blood from the beating, and rolled back to Montenegro.

Therefore, speaking of it, Zang Ba and Zhang Yan had an unresolved conflict.

Listening to these past events all the way, Lu Yi felt that the boring march suddenly became much more interesting.He has also vaguely heard the names of these eight generals.

It's just that the luck of these eight generals is not good, and their reputation has not yet spread, but they met the Bingzhou Army, commanded by Lu Bu, and the two sides fought fiercely in Taihang Mountain.

In the first battle of the Bingzhou Army, seventeen camps of the Black Mountain Army were broken. In the end, Zhang Yan led eight generals and besieged Lu Bu together, but was beheaded by the crazy Lu Bu. Even Zhang Yan was almost killed!

Since then, the Black Mountain Army has regarded the Bingzhou Army as a deadly enemy!When Zhang Yan was defeated.I once swore with my own mouth that I would be ashamed!

Combined with the general's memories, Lu Yi's mind has roughly sorted out the grievances and grievances between the Black Mountain Army and the Bingzhou Army back then, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

at the same time,

Outside Maocheng, inside a huge barracks, groups of soldiers of the Black Mountain Army were walking out of the barracks one by one.At the front, dozens of war horses gathered together, guarding a burly warrior with a rough face.

This man had a steel beard, his face was as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, like a bull.

His name is Wang Dang, and he is one of the eight generals of the Black Mountain Army.

Originally, he wanted to stay in Montenegro to prevent the high officials from Bingzhou from sneaking into their rear, but who knows, the Huns in Bingzhou suddenly turned against the high officials.

Overjoyed, Zhang Yan immediately ordered Wang Dang to take his troops and march towards Yecheng all day and night. He himself also urgently mobilized his troops, waiting for Gongsun Zan's cavalry to arrive, and then marched towards Yecheng together. go.

However, what made Wang Dang very angry was that when he rushed out of the mountain with his soldiers and horses excitedly, he was blocked by a small Maocheng for three whole days.

This is a great shame!

Wang Dang swore that once Maocheng was breached today, he would personally chop that city guard who dared to resist the advance of the Montenegro army into a dozen pieces!

"Report! General, Maocheng City Guard, please see you in the city!"

Just as Wang Dang was grinning, imagining how he would torture the guard of Maocheng later, a soldier of the Black Mountain Army flew over and reported to him.

"Hahaha... At this point, if you want to surrender again, doesn't the guard think it's too late? Anyway, I'll go over and have a look. What else does the guard have to say!"

Wang Dang laughed wildly, whipped the horse severely, and ran towards Maocheng quickly.Around, in the Montenegrin army that came out of the camp.Immediately there was a loud applause.

At the head of Maocheng, Yin Kai's head was covered with sweat, watching the countless Black Mountain troops slowly gathering outside the city, and even not far away, all kinds of siege equipment were faintly visible.

This made Yin Kai startled and frightened. He couldn't help running away several times, but when he thought of the letter he received last time, he stopped abruptly.

He just stared anxiously outside the city.

"My lord, the thieves are about to attack the city. Should we walk a long way to prevent the people from coming up?"

Above the city tower, a guard spotted all kinds of siege equipment advancing in the distance, and his face turned pale with fright.Although those siege equipment is very rough.

But Maocheng is only a small city after all. Although it is very strong, there are too few defenders. Facing the black mountain army approaching, everyone has no confidence in their hearts.

Even Yin Kai's personal guards were puzzled, they couldn't figure out why Yin Kai didn't order Min Zhuang to come up at this time.Just relying on a thousand county soldiers, no one has the confidence to defend!

"I'm coming!"

A gleam of joy suddenly appeared on Yin Kai's anxious face. In the distance, Wang Dang came arrogantly, his face full of arrogance. Thousands of people in this area dare to stop me? What else can I say when they call me again at this time?"

"Hehehe... the one in front is General Wang, and Yin Kai, there is a sentence to tell the general, if you want Maocheng, you can, as long as you can defeat the Bingzhou army outside the city, Yin Kai will abandon Maocheng immediately without saying a word. , never dare to stop the general half a step, if you can't, then you can't blame me!"

Seeing Wang Dang appearing, Yin Kai was determined, wiped the sweat off his face, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly.His words immediately excited the defenders at the top of the city.

There are even reinforcements!

This undoubtedly rekindled the fighting spirit of many desperate soldiers.

Wang Dang outside the city changed his expression greatly, and shouted in shock: "The guard, tell me clearly, what is the Bingzhou Army? Didn't that fellow of Gao Gan fight the Xiongnu Shanyu?"

Wang Dang had to be startled.The Montenegrin Army, this time they were all dispatched, and all the elite soldiers in the lair were thrown out. The reason for this was Zhang Yan's repeated confirmation, and finally affirmed that the Xiongnu Shanyu had killed Gao Gan, so he was relieved come out.

If the high-ranking officials suddenly reconciled with the Huns again, it would undoubtedly be very detrimental to the Montenegrin Army.

Seeing Wang Dang's ugly face, Yin Kai knew that the thief general had misunderstood him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.But in his heart he kept the entrustment in the letter in mind, so he could only sigh, and said truthfully:

"General Wang, don't worry, it's not Gao Shishi's soldiers, but Lu Yi's [-] Bingzhou Army! I have received news that Lu Yi's army is already on the way to Maocheng. Behind him, there are Thousands of infantry followed closely behind!"

"If you can defeat this Bingzhou army, I, Yin Kai, will not say anything, and Maocheng will surrender. If you can't defeat them without confidence, you should withdraw as soon as possible. Please come and discuss with Marshal Zhang!"

Without batting an eye, Yin Kai directly disclosed the supposedly top-secret news to Wang Dang, hoping that he would retreat.

"Hahaha…….."

Hearing Yin Kai's words, Wang Dang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed wildly, and said loudly: "Bah, which Bingzhou army I thought it was, it turned out to be Lu Yi! If Lu Bu came personally, my Wang Dang would still be scrupulous One or two, now that Lu Bu is dead, you use a group of dogs in the water to frighten this general, it is annoying, hateful! General, I will ask you one last time, whether to surrender or not!"

"General Wang, I said..." Yin Kai was in a hurry, this was a little different from what he thought.His original plan was to reveal Lu Yi's whereabouts in order to divert the attention of the Black Mountain Army so that Wang Dang would no longer attack Maocheng.

Who knows, Wang Dang waited, but with a disdainful expression on his face, he still wanted to attack Maocheng by force, which immediately caught Yin Kai off guard, and he hurriedly wanted to say more.

However, Wang Dang was not willing to listen to Yin Kai's words, sneered, and shouted: "Pass down my military order, the whole army will attack the city, after the city is broken, all the men and women in the city will be killed!"

"The general has an order to break through the city and massacre for a whole day!"

There were soldiers from Montenegro who loudly delivered Wang Dang's military order.Immediately outside the city, the drums of war were thundering, and countless people roared together, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were all extremely bloodthirsty.

Almost at the same time as the military order was issued, countless soldiers rushed towards Maocheng frantically.

"How can this happen, how can this happen!"

On the top of the city, Yin Kai's face changed drastically, and Wang Dang's reaction was completely beyond his expectations; but the Black Mountain Army had already launched an attack on the city, and the world had been torn apart by the sound of war drums and shouts of killing. If you want to talk to Wang Dang, you can't.

"My lord, quickly order Min Zhuang to come up! Didn't Yecheng send reinforcements? As long as we stick to it, there is still hope!"

A guard rushed over and roared loudly.

"Yes, yes, let everyone come up quickly, and don't let these bandits enter the city!"

Yin Kai's face was terrified, the Black Mountain Army said they were going to massacre the city, he would no longer take chances, so he had to turn pale and panicked to command the soldiers to rush to the top of the city.

"Hmph! I really think I'm an idiot. Yecheng sent troops, and they will arrive tomorrow at the soonest. While there is time, let's destroy Maocheng first!"

Wang Dang sneered, watching groups of Montenegro soldiers frantically rushing towards Maocheng.In his mind, he was thinking about what Yin Kai said just now. In the end, he still sent a soldier to send the news of the appearance of the Bingzhou Army to Zhang Yan.

..........

The sound of rumbling horseshoes kept beating on the ground.Thousands of war horses were all panting heavily, running wildly as if they were dying.

The knight on the horse would stop suddenly every once in a while, put on another horse, and then move on.

Only Lu Yi's Wu Yunju was always full of energy and galloped at the forefront.The pitch-black horseshoes were lifted up, bringing out countless dust in an instant. Wherever the army passed, the dust covered the sky and the sun, like a layer of small storms.

The army stopped on the edge of a flat hill.

Here, the green grass is green, and there is a low hill in the distance. The bare forest has sprouted new shoots, and a group of birds are singing in it.Full of vitality.

"After advancing for more than ten miles, it will be Maocheng!"

Lu Yi's body was covered in dust, and his cold face was dried up by the cold winter wind.The situation of Zhang Liao and others was not much different, they were all disheveled.

Fortunately, there is a stream beside Pinggang, the water is very clear, and the sediment at the bottom can be seen.Lu Yi hurriedly ordered the army to rest.

Except for the spies sent out, the soldiers who were alerted on the spot, the rest of the soldiers all ran to the edge of the stream in a swarm, gulping down the clear water.

Lu Yi also walked over, picked up a handful of water, and washed his face.Then he took Wu Yunju and let him drink a few sips of water.

He found another piece of dry grass, and just lay down on it.But in his heart, he was thinking about the situation in Maocheng.

Maocheng.

The drums of war are rumbling, shouting to kill and shaking the sky!

The Black Mountain Army had already rushed to the bottom of the city, and countless ladders were erected. Then, a group of brave soldiers, biting their long knives, climbed towards the city wall desperately like apes.

"Hold on, everyone must hold on!"

In Maocheng, many soldiers were pale; the Black Mountain Army's attack was too crazy, one was killed, followed closely, and indeed suddenly jumped up four or five,

This group of soldiers are all Zhang Yan's elite, extremely brave.Often a person needs four or five defenders to barely resist.

However, the number of defenders is less than 1000, and the rest are almost all recruited from the city.In the past, under such a fierce offensive, a small hairy city would have fallen long ago.

But thanks to the military order to massacre the city issued by Wang Dang just now, the defenders in the city risked their lives to resist desperately;

They knew that if this group of ferocious Black Mountain troops were really allowed to rush into the city, all their family members would die here.

"Kill, for our family!"

In the city, another group of strong men rushed over after hearing the news, and some even held knives and guns.This group of people are the private soldiers of the wealthy clan in the city. Seeing that the defenders are struggling to resist, they are all sent up for self-protection.

With their joining, the Black Mountain Army's offensive was immediately paused, but it was only a pause. Immediately afterwards, the army was still crazy, attacking the city again and again!

Even, a group of burly Montenegrin troops had already carried the bumper and ruthlessly rammed the city gate.With every impact, the entire city of Mao would shake violently.

A large piece of soil fell, and countless dust was raised, and the choking person coughed loudly.

This made many people feel hopeless. Many people looked panic-stricken and rushed to Yin Kai's side, asking bitterly, "My lord, why haven't the reinforcements come yet? We're about to lose our hold!"

Yin Kai's face was pale and his body was trembling. He barely wiped the cold sweat from his head, and shouted hoarsely: "Don't worry, everyone, the reinforcements will come, our army is already on the way! At most... at the evening In due time, they will come!"

"real?"

"Great!"

"Keep going!"

On the top of the city, the remaining Min Zhuang cheered, it was already noon, as long as they persisted for another afternoon, the reinforcements from Ye City would arrive!

The remaining hundreds of soldiers also cheered loudly, their tired bodies regained strength, picked up their swords, opened their bows and crossbows, and once again fought against the besieging Black Mountain Army.

"General, the defenders in the city seem to be resisting a lot!" Beside Wang Dang, a general of the Black Mountain Army frowned and said in a little surprise.

"It's just a dying struggle!" Wang Dang looked disdainful. If he hadn't come out too quickly and had no siege equipment, he would have razed the city to the ground three days ago!

"But that's fine. I heard that Lu Yi is coming to rescue Maocheng. When he arrives, he finds that Maocheng has been lost and all the people in the city have been slaughtered by me. What expression will he have?"

"Needless to say, then Lu Yi will definitely scream in fright, and maybe even pee his pants!" The general of the Black Mountain Army seized the opportunity.He flattered Wang Dang quietly!

Wang Dang was elated when he heard it, and shouted: "Send the order, hurry up and attack, before dark, I will slaughter this city!"

"The general has an order to destroy the city in the dark!"

A group of Montenegrin warriors immediately shouted, commanded their subordinates, and launched a more violent offensive...
