Chapter 780

Lu Changya didn't move forward too much at this time, and his past experience told him more than once: Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too showy.

He watched this scene coldly, and saw Dou Zhutong and several people gathered together to discuss how to set up an ambush on the Meridian Bridge.

Everyone has the experience of fighting with Cheng Dalei, and the process is naturally not pleasant. It can even be said that these three words of Cheng Dalei have left a deep shadow on everyone.

No one dares to despise the other, and no one dares to be careless.

Dou Zhutong cleared his throat: "That thief will pass through the Meridian Bridge at any time, we still need to prepare early, if he crosses the Meridian Bridge, if we want to keep him, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult." ”

Zhu Gang nodded: "The thief has an entourage, and two women, and his speed can't be fast." We are now rushing to the Meridian Bridge, and we should be able to prepare an ambush before dawn tomorrow. ”

"It's better sooner rather than later, and later will change. Dou Zhutong took a deep breath and felt his heart beating extremely strongly.

After all, it was Cheng Dalei who was dealing with this time. How did he escape from Liangzhou in the first place, how did he make everyone betray his relatives, and what kind of life have he been living all these years?

Every day is like a year, isn't all I want to do is find Cheng Dalei for revenge. Without the support of the motivation of revenge, how can I survive until now.

Now that the revenge is just around the corner, how can Dou Zhutong not be excited.

Not only Dou Zhutong has this thought, but everyone else remembers the experience of being humiliated in Cheng Dalei in the past. Everyone's eyes were excited, and their expressions were excited.

"Fetch the wine. Dou Zhutong shouted.

There is really wine in the broken temple, which is prepared by Mo Jiangnan. It was originally to ascend to the heights, and the responders were like clouds, how could there be no wine at that time.

But now there are such associates, but it is not himself who ascends to the heights.

And the wine was brought up and divided into a large bowl of coarse porcelain. Dou Zhutong was the first to hold the wine bowl and faced everyone: "Today, you and my brother are gathering here for one person." Everyone drinks with me, kills thieves in the same way, and takes revenge in this day. ”

"Dry. ”

Four or five hundred men who had gathered together by fate drank all the wine in front of them, and then smashed the wine bowl at the same time, and everyone was furious.

"Let's go. ”

Dou Zhutong was the first to step on the horse, followed by the starving ghost Zhu Gang, and it was difficult for Wanmatang to ...... Then there were Li Qingshan and others. Everyone set off together after Dou Zhutong.

In the process, Li Qingshan glanced behind. Why can't you see Brother Lu, just now he was willing to promote himself, and he is a brother who can be trusted.

Then, he saw Lu Changya following at the back of the team, and Li Qingshan beckoned: "Brother Lu, you come up and go with me." ”

Li Qingshan didn't want others to underestimate Lu Changya.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm fine here, it's good. ”

Lu Changya followed the back of the team unhurriedly, if anyone who cares will understand at a glance that his position is the most convenient to escape. As long as the situation changes, Lu Changya can guarantee that it will disappear in the shortest possible time.

It's a long-range attack, so is it necessary to be at the forefront?

......

Before the sunset, the desert is boundless.

The guards of the sunset pass stand majestically on top of the city pass, taking in the remnants of the sunset. There were a few defenders around him, but they were all old, and they didn't look at the heroes too much. Even if he is around, he should sit and lie down.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has been encountered, and Xiongmao doesn't care about it. The empire is in turmoil, and the upper echelons have undergone several power changes, but the guards of Xizhao Pass have always been strong.

At his age, there is no hope of promotion, and if nothing else, he will die of old age here, and the coffin will be sent back to his hometown. At that time, the emperor of the empire was afraid that he would think of him as a veteran and raise his official position up.

It's a life that you can see at a glance.

I have to say that Xiongmao is a competent general. Every day, they will inspect the border passes, inquire about the movements of the Rong people, and train soldiers...... But as a gatekeeper, that's all he can do.

He also eats empty wages, he is also greedy for money and lustful, and he does some things inauthentically.

But it is indeed veterans like him who support the shelf of the empire so that the edifice will not collapse with a bang.

But this veteran can't hold on.

The grain and grass transported by the imperial court became less and less, and it could not support a border pass of 3,000 people. Xiongmao led his subordinates to cultivate grain, but when the year was bad, he also needed to pretend to be a thief to rob big households.

Looking to the northwest, is the vast desert. Do the big men in Chang'an know that the biggest enemy of the empire is never inside the empire, but the tiger and wolf Rong tribe in the northwest grassland.

Xizhaoguan is the first gateway to the northwest and directly borders the Rong people. The imperial court should have managed this place well, and it had to be guarded first, so that it could have the strength to clean up the mess of the empire.

But who cares, for an official position, every inch of territory is in trouble, and he tries his best to be smart. But those who are wise will not share some wisdom and think about this place.

The setting sun hung on his face, and he squeezed out a bleak smile.

Being able to bury it in the homeland is even ideal. One day, the Rong people will go south......

The sound of war drums suddenly sounded in his ears, in exchange for a burst of heartbeats. He looked ahead with wide eyes, only to see a line of dust in the distance, followed by thousands of horses galloping.

"The Rong people are the Rong people. ”

Several idle defenders also stood up and said in a panic: "The Rong clan has called. ”

"Panic. Xiongmao shouted, and his mood was really bad: "Everyone went up to the city wall, beat the rabbit cub back, and wanted to come to Xizhaoguan to rob me, they came to the wrong place." ”

Having said that, Xiongmao knew that the Rong clan was so powerful, it was definitely not a matter of grabbing a sum and leaving.

The Rong often invaded, but rarely attacked Xizhaoguan, because this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they were thankless. But today, when the army has passed through the sunset, the purpose is obvious......

Because Xizhaoguan is the closest to Chang'an.

"General, there are brothers who have gone to grab food, and we only have two thousand veterans now. One of the soldiers said tremblingly.

Xiong Mao chuckled in his heart, knowing that the sunset pass could no longer be kept. The time and place are favorable, and if you don't occupy it, you are already going to die.

It seems that he can't go back to his hometown.

Xiong Mao grinned, and suddenly pulled out his saber: "What are you afraid of, it's just a group of starving ghosts." Light the beacon tower, and the others will follow me up to the city wall, and the sunset will be our territory, and the brutes will be blocked back. ”

As soon as the Rong approached the city wall, they launched a strong attack, without giving Xiongmao half a chance to breathe. The battle lasted from dusk to late at night, and the Xizhao Pass, which I thought would be captured in a moment and a half, lasted for three hours.

After the city gate was breached, Xiongmao led the remnants of the men and horses to start a street battle, and burned the granary desperately, leaving not a grain of grain for the Rong people.

And he also died in the fire that ignited in the granary.
