The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 439 Chapter 438 West Wind (5)

In the dead of night, after Jiang Chao and others left, another group of black shadows secretly came to the outside of Liqian City. These black shadows all rode war horses, and after wandering around Liqian City from a distance, Then back to the starting point.

At this time, a knight in armor and an iron helmet came out of the woods. After seeing the knight, the group of black shadows jumped off their horses and knelt down in front of the knight, shouting loudly. Said: "See Your Majesty!"

The person called the Great King was none other than Li Guang, a horse thief from Nanshan in the Hexi Corridor.Li Guang was not his real name. His original name was Li Yong, but he changed his name to Li Guang because he admired the name of Li Guang, the flying general of the Western Han Dynasty.

Li Guang is the king of horse thieves in Nanshan, and Jiang Chao is a deadly enemy. Although they are both horse thieves, they are still somewhat different from Jiang Chao.Jiang Chao's ancestors were imperial officials with strict family education. When they robbed caravans, they only asked for money, not life, and most of the looted property helped the displaced people, so they were considered righteous thieves.

But Li Guang is an unscrupulous and evil bandit. Most of his subordinates are desperadoes. They have never been principled in their actions. They robbed money, even murdered and raped women. Notorious.

The reason why Li Guang appeared here has nothing to do with Ma Chao. His subordinates searched for some news during the day, and about a dozen caravans hid in Liqian City. The goods they brought were enough for Li Guang and the others to live happily. last few months.The most important thing is that Li Guang also found out that Liqian people are still employed outside Yumen Pass, and there are only old and weak women and children in Liqian City.

Li Guang was moved, and quickly gathered three hundred horse thieves under his command, preparing to besiege Liqian City.

However, before besieging Liqian City, they had to figure out the situation in Liqian City.

Li Guangchao waved to the people kneeling in front of him and said, "Get up, how is the investigation going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Liqian City has only two gates, the east and the west, and there are no signs of defense near the gates. My subordinates guess that there should be no one in the city. As long as the King gives an order, I will lead all the brothers to charge together. When entering the city, kill those Liqian people first, then the rest of the caravans can be slaughtered by us."

Another person said: "But my lord, the Liqian people have always been very powerful, and we don't know how many of them there are. I only heard that the Liqian people have been training since childhood. Even if they are a few years old, they can kill people." It's like cutting melons. Although there are only a few old and weak women and children left in Liqian City, we may not be opponents, just in case..."

"Third son, you are too timid. How can there be so many contingencies? The Liqian people who are used to fighting are all outside Yumen Pass, and those who stay in the city are old women. You don't even have an old woman. Are you scared? Hahaha..." A person next to Li Guang kept laughing.

"Your Majesty, Second Brother, I think it's better to be more cautious. After all, Jiang Chao's grandfather once led 1000 people, but he failed to capture Liqian City, and instead lost his life..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Li Guang said, "One moment, another moment. Liqian people were all in the city at that time, but now most of Liqian people are outside Yumen Pass, even if there are still some Liqian people in the city , but we have a large number of people, they will never be opponents. Listen to my orders, the second child will lead 100 people to attack from the east gate, the third child will lead 100 people to guard outside the east and west gates, and I will personally lead 100 people Attacking from the west gate, we attack back and forth, making the people of Liqian difficult to look at. In one battle, everyone in Liqian City can be completely wiped out. When the news spreads that we have conquered Liqian City, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Liang Dynasty. state!"

While Li Guang was talking, he was looking forward to his future. In his mind, he seemed to have become a winner.

After finishing the order, Li Guang and his brothers split up and began to mobilize troops to attack the gate of Liqian City.

Liqian City may be because of the boldness of the skilled people. For many years, they have never set up defenses at night, but closed the city gate tightly. For many years, nothing has happened.

However, there will be an exception to everything, and tonight is an exception.

Li Guang and others moved carefully to the gate of Liqian City. At this moment, when people are most likely to get sleepy, Li Guang and his brothers made an appointment. Attack.And the city gates that have been in disrepair for a long time will be easily breached.

At midnight, the moon in the night sky was covered by a cloud of black clouds. In the dark and windy night, it happened to be an excellent foreshadowing for Li Guang and others.

When the time came, Li Guang and his brothers launched an attack on the east and west gates of Liqian City at the same time. More than 20 horse thieves pushed a ram with a sharpened head and rushed towards the decayed and dilapidated city gate.

"boom!"

A loud noise came from the gates of the east and west cities at the same time, and the sound was particularly loud in such a silent night.

At this time, Ma Chao had just come back from swimming around outside, and was about to lie down to rest, but suddenly heard this violent noise. The door is under heavy attack.

With a sound of "Boom", the east gate was breached first, and the decayed city gate broke open. A group of horse thieves with torches rushed into the city from outside the city, holding sabers in their hands, showing off their might.

Immediately afterwards, the west gate was also breached, and Li Guang took the lead, leading the soldiers, leaping forward, and the iron gun in his hand was shining even more coldly.

A Liqian man woke up from his sleep, and just walked out of the yard to find out what happened, but Li Guang flew over, put away his gun, and directly stabbed a Liqian man to death.

Seeing such a scene, Ma Chao immediately turned around and returned to the yard, awakened the guards around him, and told them to be fully prepared for the battle with the horse thief at any time.

Yang Fu also drew out his long sword, came to Ma Chao's side, and asked, "Master, what happened?"

"The horse thieves have already broken through the city gate and are rushing towards the city. It seems that there will be a big battle tonight."

As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, he immediately jumped on the horseback, and the rest of the people jumped on the horseback one after another, drew out their weapons, and gathered behind Ma Chao, ready for battle.

At this time, the Liqian people in the city seemed to have started to move, and Ma Chao and the others could clearly hear the sound of fierce fighting.

Ma Chao led more than 20 cavalrymen out of the gate of the courtyard. He saw ten Liqian warriors holding a round shield in their left hand, a javelin in their right hand, and a sharp sword hanging from their waist near the city gate in the west. They use their shields to block the attack of the horse thieves, while stabbing the enemy with javelins. Some even throw the javelins and switch to short knives to fight bloody battles with the horse thieves.

The ten Liqian warriors were like a whole, capable of both offense and defense, retreating while fighting, stabbing many horse thieves off their horses one after another.In addition, there are also ten Liqian warriors in the east defending themselves, using their bravery to resist the invasion of horse thieves.

For a moment, the horse thieves were on their backs, unable to break through the defense of the Liqian people. At the gate of the west city, Li Guang became furious when he saw this. The Liqian warriors were eventually killed by the fierce attack of the horse thieves.

Every time a Liqian warrior was killed, the horse thieves became more and more excited. Liqian's myth of invincibility was finally broken.

The horse thieves are all desperadoes, and they are even more desperate in battle. They have not received formal training, but they use all means to attack. Regardless of whether they are upright or not, as long as they can kill each other, they are victorious.

So, the horse thieves started to grab the dust from the ground and threw it towards the Liqian warriors opposite. For a while, the dust was flying and the wind and sand were billowing, fascinating the eyes of the Liqian warriors. At this time, the horse thieves took the opportunity to attack, one by one The warrior fell in a pool of blood, at the hands of the despicable horse thief.

At this time, the rest of the caravan showed their heads to watch the excitement, but none of them were willing to help the Liqian warriors. Ma Chao couldn't stand it any longer, so he asked Wang Shuang to divide his troops into two groups, and he led ten soldiers by himself. Going to the west gate, Wang Shuang took ten soldiers to the east gate to resist the attack of the horse thieves.

At the same time, Yang Fu persuaded the owners of the various caravans to attack the horse thieves. If they wait and see what happens, once the horse thieves occupy Liqian City, everyone will be finished.

So, under Yang Fu's persuasion, the owner of the caravan ordered his own mercenaries to attack the horse bandits, following closely behind Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others.

When Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others joined, the battle suddenly turned around. Ma Chao was brave and good at fighting, and he was invincible. Once he entered the enemy line, no one dared to stop his spear.

Li Guang, the leader of the horse thieves, was not convinced, and came to challenge Ma Chao, but was stabbed to death by Ma Chao. From the beginning of the battle to the end, the whole process took the blink of an eye.

Then, Ma Chao drew out his sword, and cut off Li Guang's head with one sword, and Wang Shuang over there also gained something, and cut off the head of another leader.

A battle ended quickly. In this battle, 18 Liqian people were killed, and 86 horse thieves were killed. Among them were Li Guang and the two leaders of the Erdang family, and none of the rest were injured.

Of the two Liqian warriors who survived, one died of serious injuries, and only one survived, that is, the scarred face who opened the city gate for Ma Chao.

After Ma Chao drove away the horse thief, he did not order to pursue him. Instead, he cut off Li Guang's head, drained the blood, and tied it to his waist after cleaning it with water.

The Liqian man with the scarred face was not seriously injured. Enduring the pain, he came to Ma Chao's side and said gratefully, "Thank you so much tonight, otherwise, the city would have been killed." On behalf of the people of Liqian, Rich expresses his deep gratitude to you!"
