The competition among the generals was fierce, and Lu Bu waved his hand and decided to take Guan Hai as the vanguard.

This made Guan Hai pleasantly surprised, everyone knew that Zhou, his background was not good, and he joined Lu Bu as a Yellow Turban pawn, and he has not made great merits so far, so he cherished this opportunity, and responded loudly with his fists: "The last general will behead the thief and dedicate it to the lord's account!" ”

Guan Hai is very confident, in this world, there are not many people who can win themselves.

"General, I would like to go with you." After the vanguard was selected, someone made a request.

Everyone looked at it, and the expression on their faces was slightly surprised, it was actually a joke.

"It's just a bunch of thieves, Mr. Na Lao is there."

Lu Bu politely rejected Xi Ce's proposal, Xi Ce's body was already weak, and when he arrived in Hanoi this time, he was not accustomed to the water and soil, so Lu Bu naturally would not let him work around anymore.

Guan Hai summoned 5,000 soldiers under his command, said goodbye to Lu Bu, and set off immediately.

Eager to seek merit, Guan Hai ordered an urgent march, and soon entered the border of Hedong.

"General, ten miles ahead is Dongyuan County, where thousands of thieves are stationed." The scouts sent out came back to report.

"Good!"

Guan Hai, who was resting under the big tree, suddenly shouted, and a hideous color flashed on his dark face: "After so many days, I finally let me be caught!" ”

"Pass my order, everyone quickly assemble and follow me to attack the city!" Guan Hai patted his buttocks, got up and turned on his horse, and commanded loudly, wanting to attack the city immediately.

At this time, the adjutant general stepped forward and admonished: "General, the brothers are tired after several days of hurrying. If it is getting late today, it is better to set up camp for the time being and wait until tomorrow to fight again. ”

"Hugh's verbosity, I'm a general, and I have the final say in everything!"

Guan Hai was only thinking about meritorious service, and where could he still listen to the advice of others, he shouted at the assembled soldiers: "Brothers, since we were beaten out of the moth thieves, the lord has not abandoned us, allocated us land, and settled our families. This is the first time we have fought alone, and the kindness of the lord can only be repaid by killing the thief, and you can have the strength to fight! ”

"Fight! War! War! ”

Listening to the loud shouting, the tired color on the faces of the morale was swept away in an instant, and they roared angrily.

The weight of the murderous aura startled countless birds in the forest.

The team was assembled, and the momentum was violent, and they soon arrived at the foot of Dongyuan City.

"Report~~~"

The soldiers guarding the city rushed to the county government and hurriedly reported it.

At this time, in the county hall, there was a calm young man in his early twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a jacquard silk robe, a black bat-patterned belt tied around his waist, and a flaxen-colored hair tied up with a scarf.

I saw him kneeling on a mat, holding a book of war in his left hand and his right hand on his lap, just looking at it intently.

"What's so alarming?" The young man put down the bamboo slip in his hand, frowned slightly, and turned his head sideways to ask the soldier.

Obviously, it disturbed his interest in reading.

"Looking back, thousands of officers and soldiers came from outside the city, and they were shouting and scolding under the city at this time." The soldier hurriedly replied, and the other party was menacing, saying that he was not afraid of the impossibility, after all, they were thieves.

When the young man heard this, he stood up, then changed into his armor on the wooden frame in the hall, and said coldly: "Lead the way." ”

When they arrived at the head of the city, the officials and soldiers below scolded Zhenghuan, and the words "rats in the city" and "turtles with shrunken heads" almost never stopped.

The soldiers defending the city were afraid, they were not regular soldiers in the end, and their quality was not just a little worse.

Under the leadership of Han Xian and Yang Feng, they called themselves the 'White Bo Army', but to put it bluntly, they were a group of robbers who robbed houses. And the combat effectiveness is far inferior to the moth thieves back then, but it just relies on the number of people.

The arrival of the young man gave the guards of the city a trace of confidence.

The young man holding the wall battlement looked down, and there was no panic in his starry eyes, and he made a preliminary estimate in his heart that the number of enemy troops was about five thousand.

Look at the officers and non-commissioned officers again, waving their flags and shouting, all of them are gearing up.

Its momentum is so strong that it must be avoided.

The young man said so in his heart, but he asked loudly: "The Han general under the city, report your name." ”

Seeing that the city finally had a reaction, Guan Hai urged him to step forward, pointed at the city with a knife in his hand, and shouted: "You listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is under the account of the great Sima, and the vanguard general Guan Hai is also!" ”

Hearing this, the young man's face changed slightly, although he and the Great Sima had never met, but they knew a lot about the heroic deeds of the Great Sima.

"It seems that you have to send someone to inform Yang Feng first, so that he can be mentally prepared."

The young man's pupils shrank, and he pondered in his heart.

"Rats, dare to go down to the city and compete with your grandfather!" Seeing that the young man did not answer, Guan Hai shouted and scolded under the city, trying to provoke him to come down and fight.

The clinker young man was not moved at all, but sneered again and again: "Black-faced man, if you want to fight with me, you are not qualified enough, wait for your big Sima to come." ”

"Okay, you arrogant boy, when I break through the city, I will definitely take your head!"

Being so underestimated, Guan Hai was so angry that his eyes erupted, he screamed, and roared 'rush' in his mouth, and took the lead in slapping the horse and launching a charge.

The soldiers behind him listened to the order and rushed to kill one after another.

When Guan Hai was about to rush to the city, the young man on the city tower raised his hand and gave a decisive order.

Shoot the arrows!

For a moment, the arrows thrown down from the sky were as dense as rain.

Seeing this, Guan Hai hurriedly waved the chopping knife in his hand and blocked left and right.

Although Guan Hai was not hit by an arrow, the soldiers who rushed forward behind him were hit by a large seedling, and people were constantly shot by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.

"General, withdraw!"

The deputy general rushed to Guan Hai's side, his face full of anxiety.

Although Dongyuan County is not a fortified fortress, there are also no siege weapons on Guanhai's side, and if you rely on people alone, it will definitely suffer huge losses.

Guan Hai, who couldn't move forward, was so angry that his steel teeth were crushed, but he was helpless.

If it continues to be consumed, his own casualties will inevitably increase, and in order to preserve his strength, he can only grit his teeth and issue an order: withdraw!

The soldiers who had been informed of the order stopped their advance, fended off the arrows, and at the same time retreated as fast as they could, out of range of the bows, and regrouped.

"Xiao'er, you wait for me, I swear to kill you!"

After putting down the cruel words, Guan Hai led his subordinates with resentment and slowly retreated.

When the young men at the head of the city saw Guan Hai retreating, they did not lead the army to chase after them, but only instructed the thieves guarding the city: "Pass my order, from now on, close the four city gates, and no one shall go out of the city to meet the enemy without permission." ”

And they all agreed.

In the next few days, as the young man expected, Guan Hai sent people to fight and scold every day.

The defenders of the city also blocked their ears and remained unmoved, as the young man said.

After the two sides survived for five or six days, Guan Hai really had nothing to do, so he decided to bypass Dongyuan and go straight to the county town of Anyi.
