In the afternoon, under the sun, it makes people warm and sleepy.

On the mountain road, Li Li and his entourage rode their horses unhurriedly in the mountains and forests, looking around from time to time to see if there were yellow turban thieves who were blocking the road and robbing the road hidden in the dense woods. They had been prepared for a long time, keeping an eye on the situation in the mountains and forests on both sides, and once the gangsters appeared, they would definitely not be able to return.

It's a pity that they traveled all the way, the spring breeze was light, the birds were singing, and the birds were singing, a scene full of spring. There were no thieves on both sides of the mountain road who blocked the road and robbed the road, and when they reached the top of the mountain and were about to go down the mountain, they didn't even see a single figure, which caused Huan Fei and other belligerent people to be greatly discouraged and depressed.

"Uncle Zhi, can you be sure that there are really yellow turban thieves in this mountain forest? Where are they now, and why don't they come and rob us? Huan Fei Le Ma stopped on the top of the mountain, stared down at the surrounding jungle with two big eyes, and asked Chen Zhi with a rather angry expression.

"This 、、、、、、" Chen Zhi was speechless when he heard this, and he was also very surprised in his heart, and said puzzledly: "This mountain is called Gepi, and it was occupied by the largest group of yellow turban thieves in Runan and Yingchuan a few years ago. This Gepi Yellow Turban Thief has always been rampant, and has repeatedly swaggered and plundered the county seats, but the defenders of the surrounding county towns did not dare to go out of the city to fight them.

But why is it so quiet today? Could it be that they have hidden in the shadows, and have seen that we are not good enough to wait for them, and they dare not show up to block the road and plunder? ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhi looked extremely depressed, for fear that the lord Li Li would suspect him of lying about the news. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he carefully observed Li Li's expression, worried that Li Li would not like it.

After Li Li heard the words of Huan Fei and Chen Zhi, he laughed loudly and said, "What's wrong with you." Isn't it good that we didn't encounter bandits? People who are away from home, how can there be people like you who are waiting to be stopped and robbed, you are really a group of militants! Hehehe! ”

"Haha!" Hearing Li Li's words, Huan Fei, Chen Zhi and Ma Yunluo couldn't help but laugh, and the depression in their hearts disappeared. Immediately, the group stopped being on guard, completely relaxed, and rode their horses along the fairly spacious mountain road and whipped their horses, galloping down the mountain.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Kill!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Outside the Xujiazhuang wall fort, thousands of yellow turban thieves carried simple cloud ladders. The morale was high, the momentum was monstrous, and they rushed to the fort with great shouts.

The dense army of yellow turban thieves is full of guns and halberds, and the soldiers are full of spears. The offensive was extremely rapid, and there was a momentum of capturing Xujiazhuang in one go.

On the wall of the West Gate. But he saw a man in black armor standing on the wall. Holding a nine-ring gold-backed long-handled broadsword, he guarded the broken gap in the West Gate Wall Fort. In front of him, more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers who rode the ladder to the top of the wall had not yet stood firm, but they saw the war knife in his hand flying in the air, and in an instant, the Yellow Turban Army who climbed the wall was beheaded under the knife, and the head was separated. Flesh fell in the air.

After he stood firm again, he saw that he was eight feet eight inches tall, nearly nine feet, and his waist was ten girths, which was definitely a veritable tiger's back and bear's waist; Looks majestic. The tiger's eyebrows were thick, and his eyes were wide open. With only a long-handled war knife in his hand, he dared to stand alone on the gap, looking down at the thousands of Yellow Turban troops surging under the wall, but his face was fearless and his fighting spirit was high. Just when he raised his hand, he beheaded more than ten Yellow Turban soldiers under the knife, which shows that his courage and martial arts are superb.

This sturdy man standing with a horizontal knife at the gap at the top of the wall is Xu Chu, the second son of Xu Yuanwai, the owner of Xujiazhuang. He is the leader of thousands of strong men in Xujiazhuang, and he is also the first person to organize the young men in the village to resist the raids of the Yellow Turban Army.

After several fierce battles, Xu Chu became the supreme commander of thousands of strong men in Xujiazhuang with his own martial courage and on-the-spot command ability. For more than a year, he has led the young people in the village several times to fight against the Gepi Yellow Turban thieves, and has repeatedly outnumbered the crowd to protect the safety of Xujiazhuang.

Whenever the Yellow Turban Army attacks, as long as Xu Chu's figure appears on the wall, the young and strong people in the village will be like a god, not afraid of death, and swear to defend their homeland to the death. Over time, he is the biggest reliance on Xujiazhuang's insistence on resisting the robbery of the Gepi Yellow Turban thieves, and he is also the undefeated god of war in the hearts of thousands of strong men in the village.

The He brothers led nearly 20,000 Yellow Turban thieves to besiege Xujiazhuang, almost out, aiming to break through the fortress in one fell swoop and wash this huge manor that could not be attacked for a long time. It was because they were very well prepared before the war, building hundreds of simple ladders, more than 100 catapults, more than 20 well railings more than two feet high, and strong bows and crossbows were also very sufficient. In addition, the Yellow Turban Army also had five improvised storming vehicles, as well as a large number of iron hooks and wall climbers, and almost all siege methods were used.

It can really be said that there are many people, and the group is attacking, blooming on all sides, and the offensive is unprecedentedly fierce!

Compared with the many siege methods of the Gepi Yellow Turban thieves, the defense of the Xujiazhuang Wall Fort is not new, and the original measures to defend the city are still adopted, and the fort is defended. On top of the fort, the walls were filled with boulders, rolling logs, oil pots to boil poisonous water, and many thorns dug from the mountains. As long as they can block the siege of the Yellow Turban Thieves, they will do almost everything they can to defend themselves. However, these things defending the city are extremely rough, and they seem to have a lot of lethality, but in fact, the effect of defending the city is not large, it is too primitive, and it has long been known by the Yellow Turban Thieves, so it is difficult to give the Yellow Turban Thieves a fatal blow.

Therefore, this time, the Gepi Yellow Turban Army poured out of the nest and stormed Xujiazhuang, which was almost determined to win and win. And Xujiazhuang, which is in a defensive position, is passively beaten, which is tantamount to a trapped beast fighting and struggling to the death. Under the long-term attack of the Yellow Turban Army, the fortress will be breached, and it will be difficult to escape the bad luck of being sacked by the Yellow Turban Army.

In the face of such a sinister battle situation, the thousands of young men of Xujiazhuang who were in a desperate situation were not discouraged, nor did they lose their fighting spirit, let alone sit idly by. Because this extremely unfavorable situation has long been commonplace for them, and it is not worth mentioning. In fact, every time the Gepi Yellow Turban Thief attacked, Xujiazhuang was in danger, almost in a desperate situation, and it was really difficult to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief; However, the result was the opposite, and they always ended up defeating the Yellow Turban Thieves by a narrow margin, forcing the He brothers to withdraw their troops voluntarily.

The reason is that the thief captures the king first. Every time the war was carried out at the most critical juncture, Xu Yuanwai's two sons, Xu Chu and Xu Ding, would go out of the city alone and rush into the Yellow Turban thieves to invite the He brothers to fight. Coincidentally, the He brothers are also warlike people who are martial and belligerent, and they have a soft spot for fighting generals. So the two brothers often fought head-on with Xu Ding and Xu Chu brothers, and the two sides made a gambling contract before the war, and they won or lost the battle.

The outcome of such a gambling battle can be imagined. In the duel, the Xu brothers won repeatedly, and the defeated He brothers were also quite trustworthy, and they were willing to gamble and lose when their skills were not as good as others, and they were willing to take the initiative to withdraw their troops. As a result, Xujiazhuang has gone through several wars, but finally turned the danger into a disaster and survived to this day.

At present, Xu Chu, as the chief general of the defenders of Xujiazhuang, is holding the most ferocious Ximen gap, which is the most ferocious offensive, so that the dangerous fortress has never been breached. And his brother Xu Ding guarded the north gate, so that although the crumbling north gate was in danger, it was always in danger and was never captured by the Yellow Turban Army.

It can be seen that Xu Ding is by no means a mediocre hand, and his own martial arts and abilities are also extremely extraordinary, and he can be regarded as a masterpiece. Maybe he is slightly inferior to his younger brother Xu Chu, but the gap between the brothers is limited and not out of reach.

Xu Ding, whose name is Boning, is Xu Yuanwai's eldest son and Xu Chu's eldest brother. He is more than eight feet tall, and although his body is not as tall and burly as his younger brother Xu Chu, he is also strong and strong; Zhou Zheng facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, black beard, quite majestic, and looks better than Xu Chu.

Xu Ding is eight years older than Xu Chu, because when Xu Chu was in his early twenties, he had already passed the age of standing and had long passed the age of being reckless and ruthless. In addition, he has an introverted personality, few words, calm and serious in trouble, attaches great importance to family affection, and has the style of the ancients.

Because of this, the leader of thousands of young people in Xujiazhuang will be served by Xu Chu, not Xu Ding, who is the elder brother. This is due to Xu Ding's own character, the concept of fame and fortune is indifferent, and there is no competitive heart; What's more, Xu Chu is his own brother, and there is no need to compete for the position of leader at all. In addition, he believed that his martial arts and decision-making ability were not as good as his younger brother's, so he took the initiative to retreat and was willing to retreat behind Xu Chu to assist his younger brother in training the young and strong in the village, resisting the Yellow Turban thieves and protecting his homeland.

It is precisely because of Xu Ding's dedication and assistance that Xujiazhuang is unprecedentedly united, and all the young and strong people in the village are looking forward to Xu Chu's horse and obeying his orders. And Xu Ding's tolerant style of dealing with people, as well as his own outstanding martial bravery, are also praised by everyone in Xujiazhuang, and he is quite authoritative and convincing in the village.

It was the concerted efforts of the Xu brothers that they could lead the young Zhuang to repeatedly repel the Gepi Yellow Turban Thieves and force the Yellow Turban Thieves to have no choice but to Xu Jiazhuang. Over time, Xu Ding and Xu Chu brothers in Qiaoxian County became famous, and almost everyone in the township pavilion of ten miles and eight townships knew about it, and they were known as "a double master", and some people called them "Xu's double tigers".

However, the names of the Xu brothers were only spread among the people in Runan and Peiguo, and no one knew about them in other prefectures and counties. After all, the two of them have no fame, they are still white, and in the eyes of the official eunuch clan, they are still reckless, brave and brave, and if they do not enter the eyes of the Fang family, it is difficult to enter the hall of elegance, which is not commendable.
