Soon, a group of people rushed towards the horse slopes on both sides of the city gate, and without him opening his mouth, the pavilion guards and the defenders' crossbowmen on the city wall shot arrows in unison.

The effect was small, and the elite veterans who rushed out of the city were either crouching, or blocking with swords, or shielding, and only seven or eight people were shot in a round of arrow rain, and only two of them lost their mobility, struggling on the ground, still stubbornly crawling towards the city gate, or limping up and refusing to give up.

Seeing this posture, it was clear that he was a backbone veteran in the army, Xi Hong didn't dare to relax, let alone come forward to fight: "A soldier is in formation!" ”

The horse slopes on both sides of the city gate are very wide and relatively gentle zigzag steps...... War horses can go up the city along the steps, let alone people.

The total number of armored soldiers in the defenders was less than 100, and they were divided into two places, but they were a little thin, with only a triple human wall.

Wang Shuang and some other brave warriors chased after Niu Jin, and when they approached, the meteor hammer, shuttle dart, halberd, and lime bag all smashed into the armor array, and then they attacked and collided, shouting and exclamating from the battle.

In an instant, the armor soldiers stabbed to death and seriously injured nearly ten lightly armed warriors with their spears and halberds.

But then, Niu Jin waved the short-handled Fang Tian halberd with both hands, the iron armor in front of the halberd blade was like paper, and he mustered up enough strength to slash three times, and immediately killed a bloody path, Wang Shuang only had time to help Niu Jin parry the oblique stab attack, and saw Niu Jin break through alone, covered in blood and rushed to Xi Hong, who was unable to react.

With a loud shout, the short-handled Fang Tian Halberd in Niu Jin's hand slashed down diagonally again.

Cutting off the six-sided Han sword that Xi Hong swung out, and then slashing Xi Hong's breastplate, seeing that there was no blood, Niu Jin's bloody face couldn't help but be stunned.

Xi Hong's subordinates stepped forward with all their lives, and when they saw that Niu Jin was holding the divine soldier Fang Tianhalberd in his hand, he dared to fight and fight, so he dragged Xi Hong to the side and made way for the passage.

Niu Jin's throat was like fire, and he was already exhausted and did not dare to chase and kill, holding Fang Tian's halberd to scare the defenders and pavilion guards, and buy time for Wang Shuang and the others to tie up the ropes.

Xi Hong was dragged by two subordinate officials to leave the front line quickly, and when he saw that everyone stopped fighting because of the majesty of Fang Tianji, he pulled one of his subordinates, and the other party hurriedly squatted down: "Ming Gong? ”

"Inform the thief, leave Fang Tianji, I won't pursue."

Seeing that his subordinates hesitated, Xi Hong insisted and said: "This Chen Gong's beloved thing has been dedicated to the first emperor, and it is an artifact of guarding the tomb, which is far more important than the life of a thief. ”

Niu Jin listened, and he didn't dare to keep this hot thing anymore, and his voice was uncomfortable: "Let me break off!" ”

Xi Hong also agreed, watching this group of thieves who rushed to the head of the city grab the rope and go down the city, one by one, they were vigorous, and they also recognized Niu Jin as the idle Wupin general, and couldn't help but regret it faintly, and instructed: "The rivers and lakes are vast, enough to survive." Go now, don't cause trouble again. ”

Niu Jin held Fang Tian's halberd with his backhand, and the halberd blade was nailed down into the ground of the city wall, and he hugged his fist at Xi Hong: "This grace will never be forgotten." ”

Saying that he squinted his eyes, he saw that Wang Shuang's group had run out of a mile away, and immediately grabbed the knotted cowhide rope, and in the blink of an eye, he quickly descended to the city, climbed over the sheep and horse wall, trotted two steps and jumped into the moat, and when he climbed up, he looked back and saw that the crossbowmen on the city wall were full, and Xi Hong was surrounded in the middle.

Glancing at each other, seeing that there was no movement in the city, Niu Jin raised his hand to wipe his bloodstained face, shook off the bloodstains on his hands, threw off his arms and ran towards the Yangtze River.

More than a dozen people there jumped to the Yangtze River if they were injured or not, and Wang Shuang stood alone by the river waiting for him.

Niu Jin's heart was warm, and he suddenly felt that his body was not so tired.

When he ran to the riverside, he heard Wang Shuang's tone be conclusive, and said regretfully: "The general lost Fang Tianhalberd, and the destiny of heaven is not there." ”

"Why?"

"Chen Gong got Fang Tianhalberd and enjoyed the Mandate of Heaven, and now we can escape because of Fang Tianhalberd."

Wang Shuang turned his head to look at the Jiangdu South City Gatehouse: "Before I joined the army, I got a treasure knife, and the diviner said that it was a knife of wealth and wealth." When he was under the command of King Wei, he relied on this knife to prosper his career, and in the first battle of Wankou, he beheaded Deng Xian, the captain of the Han army and the nephew of Meng Da. After offering the knife to others, the wealth is no longer there, and it has fallen to this point. ”

Niu Jin saw that the wharf had sent guards to arrest them, so he walked to the river: "Who did the rich knife give?" ”

Wang Shuang followed behind, and his tone was unwilling: "Dead." Fei Yi'er, after getting my treasure knife, he died violently, and he disappeared. ”

Niu Jin turned around and looked at Wang Shuang with sympathetic eyes, poor guy, he was implicated in the case of the Son of Heaven's close ministers, no wonder he was cut into the wilderness.

is different from himself, he is a subordinate of the general Cao Ren, and he is obliged to work for Cao Kai.

About to plunge into the river, Wang Shuang asked, "Where does the general want to go?" ”

Niu Jin took Jiang Shui to wash his face, laughed at himself and said: "Since the destiny of heaven is not in my Niu Jin, then change your name and go to Lingnan to serve." Do you want to gather in the mountains and forests and wait for the imperial court to clear it? ”

There are too many problematic officials in Lingnan, Yang Jun dared to support Liu Xie's restoration, and now it's not a good time to live a nourishing life?

and Guo Jia's son Guo Yi, who is close to Cao Pi in intelligence work, didn't he follow Yang Jun to Lingnan to live a good life?

There is a shortage of people in Lingnan, as long as you are a person and have a skill to go to Lingnan, it is impossible to kill you.

There is no shortage of criminals in Lingnan, there is a shortage of useful people.

Listening to Niu Jin's thoughts, Wang Shuang was a little unhappy, did not answer, and followed him into the river and drifted downstream.

It's just that in the process of wandering, Niu Jin went to Jiangling Zhongzhou, and after meeting with a few other people, he openly called for a boat to go to Baqiu, where Dongting Lake is located.

Baqiu is the stronghold and transit transportation point of the Lingnan Prefecture soldiers, and when they are waiting for the next batch of ships to go south, they can go to Lingnan by boat.

Wang Shuang swam to the south bank in one go, preparing to go to the downstream Jiangdong region to avoid the limelight.

The land of Wuyue was originally the place of death and refuge for the rangers and criminals of the past dynasties, and it can be described as a treasure of feng shui.

Jiangdu, Xuanwu Gatehouse.

After Liao Li and Huang Quan commanded their subordinates to rummage through Xu Shu's house, they hurried to the Xuanwu Gate Tower to observe the loss of Nancheng here.

Liao Li propped his hands on the guardrail, examined and estimated the scope of the fire, the largest fire was in two places, one was the Xuzhou Hall with dense houses, the surrounding people had been evacuated, and the Jiangling County Commander was leading the people to block the fire and extinguish it in an orderly manner.

The other is where the most prosperous market in the south is located, the whole market is closed by a fence, even if the fire is extended, it will not burn the residential area, at most burn the goods stored in the market shed, and will not cause loss of personnel.

It is still an acceptable loss, Liao Li nodded and was slightly satisfied, the matter was very troublesome, which was enough to alert the former emperors and former ministers who were in power.

Therefore, he relaxed and said, "The imperial court is about to move the capital, and it is good if this kind of filth is burned." ”

Huang Quan smiled bitterly, although this is the real situation, he can't say it.

About four or five steps away, Ma Zhong's left hand holding the bow couldn't help but exert a little strength, but he never got a signal from Wei Buba, and the Xuzhou Hall was burned down again.
