It was the dead of night, after Jiang Chao and the others left, another group of black shadows secretly came to the outside of Lijing City, and these black shadows all rode war horses, and after walking around Lijing City from afar, they returned to the starting point.

At this moment, a knight in armor and an iron helmet came out of the woods, and when the group of black shadows saw this knight, they jumped off their horses, knelt before this knight, and shouted: "See the king!" ”

The person who was called the king was none other than the horse thief in Nanshan in the Hexi Corridor, named Li Guang. Li Guang is not his real name, this person's original name was Li Yong, because he loved the name of Li Guang, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, so he changed his name to Li Guang.

Li Guang is the king of horse thieves in Nanshan, and Jiang Chao is a sworn enemy, although they are both horse thieves, they are still a little different from Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao's ancestors were officials of the imperial court, and his family education was strict, and when he robbed the caravan, he only sought wealth, not life, and most of the looted property was for the relief of those displaced people, and he was also a righteous thief.

However, Li Guang is a thief who does all kinds of evil, and most of his subordinates are outlaws, who have always been unprincipled, have robbed money, and even kill people and kill people, and rape their wives and daughters.

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

Li Guang was moved and quickly gathered three hundred horse thieves under his subordinates. Prepare for the siege of Lijing Castle.

But. Before the siege of Lijing Castle. They had to figure out what was going on in the city.

Li Guang waved his hand at the person kneeling in front of him and said, "Get up, how is the investigation?" ”

"Back to the king, there are only two gates in Lijing City, east and west, and there is no sign of defense near the city gate, my subordinates guess that there should be no one in the city, but the king gave an order, and I led all the brothers to rush into the city together. Kill all the Lijing people first, and then the rest of the caravan can be slaughtered by us. ”

Another person said: "But the king, the Lijing people have always been very powerful, and we don't know how many of them there are, I only heard that the Lijing people have been training since they were young, even if they are a few years old, killing people is like cutting melons." Although there are only some old and weak women and children left in Lijing City. But we may not be opponents, in case ......"

"The third. You're too timid, where is there so much what if? The people of Lijing who can fight are all outside the Yumen Pass, and those who stay in the city are all old ladies, don't you even be afraid of an old lady? Hahaha......" A person next to Li Guang kept laughing.

"The king, the second brother, I think it's better to be cautious, after all, Jiang Chao and his grandfather once led a thousand people, but they failed to take Lijing City, but lost their lives......"

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Li Guang spoke: "This time, that time." At that time, the Lijing people were all in the city, but now most of the Lijing people are outside the Yumen Pass, even if there are still some Lijing people in the city, but we are outnumbered, and they will definitely not be opponents. Listen to my orders, after a while, you will lead a hundred people to attack from the east gate, and the third child you will lead a hundred people to guard outside the east and west gates, and I will personally lead a hundred people to attack from the west gate. When the time comes, as soon as the news of our peaceful Lijing City spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Liangzhou! ”

As Li Guang spoke, he looked forward to his future, and in his mind, he seemed to have become a winner.

After the order was completed, Li Guang and his brothers split up and began to mobilize their forces and concentrate on attacking the gates of Lijing City.

Lijing City may be a master of art and bold, for many years, they have never defended at night, just closed the city gates, how many years, nothing has happened.

But there is always an exception, and tonight, it is an exception.

Li Guang and the others cautiously moved to the gate of Lijing City, at this moment, it is the time when people are most likely to be sleepy, Li Guang and his brothers made an appointment, when the time came, they immediately launched an attack on Lijing City. And the city gates, which have been in disrepair for a long time, will be easily breached.

At the moment, the moon in the night sky was obscured by a black cloud, and the night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, it happened to be an excellent foreshadowing for Li Guang and others.

When the time came, Li Guang and his brothers simultaneously launched an attack on the east and west gates of Lijing City, and more than two dozen horse thieves pushed a piece of wood with a sharpened head and rushed towards the rotten and dilapidated gate.

"Boom!"

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

At this time, Ma Chao had just come back from a round of swimming outside, and was about to lie down to rest, but suddenly heard this violent sound, he was startled in his heart, immediately stood up, walked out of the courtyard, and saw that the east and west gates were being violently attacked.

With a "boom", the east gate was the first to be breached, the decaying city gate was broken, and 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, taking the lead, prancing forward, and the iron spear in his hand was even more cold.

A Lijing man woke up from his sleep, and just walked out of the courtyard to see what was going on, but Li Guang flew over, put away a shot, and directly stabbed a Lijing man to death.

When Ma Chao saw such a scene, he immediately turned around and returned to the courtyard, waking up the guards around him, and asking them to be fully prepared for battle, ready to fight the horse thieves at any time.

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

"The horse thieves have breached the gates of the city and are coming over the city, and it seems that there is a big battle tonight."

As soon as Ma Chao's voice fell, he immediately jumped on the horse's back, and the rest of the people jumped on the horse's back, drew out the blades they carried, and concentrated behind Ma Chao, waiting for the battle.

At this time, the Lijing people in the city seemed to have begun to move, and Ma Chao and they could clearly hear the sound of fierce fighting.

Ma Chao took more than 20 cavalrymen out of the gate of the courtyard, and saw that near the city gate in the west, there were ten Lijing warriors holding a round shield in their left hand, a javelin in their right hand, and a sharp short knife hanging from their waists.

Ten Lijing warriors, like a whole, both offensive and defensive, retreated while fighting, and stabbed many horse thieves off their horses one after another. In addition, there are also ten warriors in the east who are forming a formation to defend themselves, using their bravery to resist the invasion of horse thieves.

For a time, the horse thieves turned over on their backs, unable to break through the defense of the Lijing people, at the gate of the city in the west, Li Guang was annoyed and angry when he saw this, while letting people continue to attack, while letting people release cold arrows, under the double attack, the impermeable Lijing warriors who defended were finally killed because of the fierce attack of the horse thieves.

Every time a Lijing warrior was killed, the love of the horse thieves became more and more high, and the myth of Li Jing's invincibility was finally broken, which made the horse thieves excited, and they were all eager to try, scrambling to fight forward.

Horse thieves are outlaws, and they don't want to die when they fight, and they have no formal training, but they do everything when they attack, and whether they are above board or not, as long as they can kill each other, it is a victory.

So, the horse thieves began to grab dust from the ground and scatter it towards the Li Jing warriors on the opposite side, and for a time the dust was flying, and the wind and sand were rolling, fascinating the eyes of the Li Jing warriors, at this time, the horse thieves took the opportunity to attack, and one by one the Li Jing warriors fell in a pool of blood and fell under the hands of the despicable horse thieves.

At this time, the rest of the caravan people showed their heads to see the excitement, but none of them were willing to help the Lijing warriors, Ma Chao really couldn't stand it, so he asked Wang Shuang and his soldiers to divide into two ways, he himself led ten soldiers to the west gate, Wang Shuang took ten soldiers to the east gate, resisting the attack of the horse thieves.

At the same time, Yang Fu persuaded the owners of the various caravans to launch an attack on the horse thieves, and if they waited and watched, once the horse thieves occupied Lijing City, everyone would have to finish the game.

So, under the persuasion of Yang Fu, the owner of the caravan began to order his mercenaries to attack the horse thieves, following closely behind Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others.

Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others joined, when the tide of the battle suddenly reversed, Ma Chao was brave and good at fighting, invincible, once he entered the enemy formation, no one dared to stop him wherever the spear went.

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 is a blink of an eye.

Then, Ma Chao drew his sword and cut off Li Guang's head with a sword, and Wang Shuang over there also gained something, cutting off the head of another leader, and the rest of the horse thieves saw this, and they all scattered.

The battle ended quickly, in which eighteen of the Lijing were killed, eighty-six of the horse thieves were killed, including Li Guang and the two leaders of the second leader, and none of the rest were injured.

Of the two Li Jing warriors who survived, one died because he was too seriously injured, and only one survived, which was the Scarface who originally opened the city gate for Ma Chao.

After Ma Chao drove away the horse thief, he did not order the pursuit, but cut off Li Guang's head, drained the blood, and then cleaned it with water, and then tied it to his waist.

The scar-faced Lijing was not too seriously injured, he endured the pain, came to Ma Chao's side, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much tonight, otherwise, the city will suffer." On behalf of the Lijing people, Perridge would like to express his deep gratitude to you! (To be continued......)
