Dingxicheng, the east entrance of the city.
Old man Ding has lived in Dingxi City for generations. The Ding family has been here for a hundred years. When the ancestors of the Ding family were doing business, they came from Guanzhong and settled here. They built a large house with three entrances and three exits.
There is a war going on in Dingxicheng these days.
In order to prevent his family's property from being damaged, Old Man Ding closed the courtyard and did not dare to go in or out. He also had a lot of food stored at home, so he could live safely.
Unexpectedly, yesterday afternoon, something strange happened in the cowshed in the backyard of my house. The ground began to loosen and a big hole opened. Old man Ding had dug a kiln and immediately realized that the enemy troops outside the city were digging tunnels and preparing to invade the city through the tunnels.
Old man Ding panicked.
He heard that Zhang Xiu was also from Xiliang. After occupying Guanzhong, he came to attack Dingxi. He didn't know Zhang Xiu's attitude towards the people of Dingxi, and he didn't dare to make it public for fear of causing other people's anger. Notice.
So, Old Man Ding pressed down the crack with a water tank and filled the water tank with water to prevent people below from getting out. After doing this, Old Man Ding was still very worried and sat at the crack, feeling melancholy and at a loss. .
Suddenly.
The water tank shook.
Old man Ding stood up abruptly, staring straight at the large water tank in front of him. It shook slightly at first, water spilled out a little, and then began to shake violently.
"Snapped!"
The water tank was suddenly knocked over to the ground, and the frozen and brittle water tank was smashed into pieces. The water in the tank poured down along the tunnel entrance, chilling Hu Che'er who was the first to bear the brunt below.
"Holy shit!"
Hu Che'er shuddered and crawled out as he uttered foul language. Looking around, he saw old man Ding shivering hiding behind the cowshed, peeking at Hu Che'er.
"Old guy, why did you put this water tank in there?" He couldn't help but shudder when he said it.
Old Man Ding's legs were so frightened that he became weak: "Jun...Master Jun, I don't know it's you, I'm going to get you some clothes."
Hu Che'er shivered twice and ignored him. He turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Brothers inside, come out quickly!" Then he turned to Old Man Ding and said: "Close the door of your house tightly and don't say anything, otherwise I will kill you. The whole family.”
"Okay, okay!"
Old man Ding agreed repeatedly.
In about half an hour, the courtyard where Old Man Ding entered and exited was filled with the disgraced Zhang Xiujun. A total of two thousand people came in from the tunnel, and the courtyard could no longer stand.
Huo Jun ordered his men to change into Han Suijun's clothes, opened the door, and led 1,500 people toward the treasury where grain and grass were stored. Hu Che'er led the rest of the troops towards the east city gate.
People are still coming out of the tunnel mouth in a steady stream. Old Man Ding was ordered to guard the entrance of the tunnel and show them the way when someone came out, and when someone came out, he would show them the way.
at this time.
Wang Shuang and Gu Ming began a fierce attack on the city. After the trebuchet fired five rounds in succession, the soldiers began to climb up the city with ladders.
The attack at the top of the city attracted all of Cai E's attention, and he did not expect that someone had quietly sneaked into Dingxi City.
When Hu Cheer led his army to the city gate, Wang Shuang and Gu Ming had already climbed up to the top of the city to fight fiercely. The two sides were fighting inextricably.
Outside the city, Zhang Xiu and his cavalry were ready to go, waiting for Hu Che'er inside the city to open the city gate.
Hu Che'er hurried to the city gate.
Cai Eu just walked down to the top of the city to prepare the defense tools. He felt that today's enemy army was extremely fierce, and the defense tools that had been prepared on the top of the city were far from enough.
The moment the two passed each other.
Cai Eel was suddenly startled.
As a fierce man in Xiliang, Hu Cheer is known to almost everyone. As Han Sui's confidant, he also had a relationship with Hu Che'er. At that moment, when he saw Hu Che'er, his heart was lifted instantly.
this moment.
He realized that the enemy had dug a tunnel in and Dingxi City could no longer be defended. The brain flashed for a moment, and he immediately made a decision.
After passing by, Cai E didn't say anything. He knew that he couldn't defeat Hu Che'er, and the result of speaking out would be to be killed by Hu Che'er. No, he wanted Zhang Xiu to come empty-handed and return empty-handed.
He hurriedly ran towards the treasury where grain and grass were stored, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"kill!"
After approaching the east city gate, Hu Che'er drew his sword and attacked, charging into the enemy's army. The unsuspecting soldiers were suddenly attacked by Hu Che'er and were killed off guard. Dozens of people at the city gate were wiped out in an instant.
Hu Cheer ordered 200 people to open the city gate, and he led the others to the top of the city to help Wang Shuang and Gu Ming.
The soldiers at the top of the city also discovered what had happened below the city and killed them one after another. Hu Che'er blocked the attack from the left and struck with the right, roared angrily, and charged towards the top of the city.
At this time, the city gate opened.
Zhang Xiu, who had been ready to go, saw the city gate open and immediately galloped towards Dingxi City. Zhang Xian led the Cheetah Cavalry Battalion closely behind him. Not only did he have to charge into the battle, he also had to protect Zhang Xiu's safety.
A land of food and grass.
When Huo Jun led his troops to the place where grain and grass were stored, he was shocked. I saw that the outside of the grain and grass treasury was full of igniting objects. If it was ignited, the grain and grass full of the treasury would definitely cease to exist.
These guards thought that Huo Jun was one of their own and did not take much precautions. When Huo Jun changed his face and entered the treasury with a knife, these guards had no power to fight back. Huo Jun led his men and horses to kill all the guards first, and then ordered his people to move away the igniting objects to protect the food and grass.
At this time, Cai Eu led a thousand men and horses to kill.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he knew what was happening and led his troops in without hesitation. His purpose was clear and he desperately moved towards the place where the grain and grass were stored.
How could Huo Jun let him have his wish?
He immediately led his troops to resist, and the two sides fought fiercely at the entrance of the treasury. Cai Eumao tried his best to set fire to the grain and grass, while Huo Jun led his troops to protect the grain and grass desperately.
"Quick! Fight in and set fire to me!"
The two armies fought for a long time, and the ground was littered with corpses.
Seeing that he couldn't get in, Cai E simply burned down all the buildings. Zhang Xiu didn't want to get a single grain.
"You dare!"
Huo Jun roared angrily, drew his bow and arrow, and the sound was as fast as lightning. Before Cai Eel had time to react, the long arrow pierced his mouth and pierced the back of his head, drawing out a shot of hot blood.
Cai Eel's eyes widened. In disbelief, he covered his bleeding mouth with both hands and fell backwards. Huo Jun led his troops to the front, cut off Cai Eel's head with one knife, raised it high and shouted: "Cai Eel is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The soldiers under his command followed and shouted, the sound was deafening.
Cai E's soldiers abandoned their weapons and chose to surrender. Huo Jun also breathed a sigh of relief, the food and grass were saved.
At this time, Zhang Xiu led his army into the city and headed straight for the treasury where the grain and grass were stored. He was relieved to see that the grain and grass were safe and sound.
Asked: "How much food and grass is there in the treasury?"
Huo Jun said: "Lord, there are about 200,000 dan in the treasury!"
Two hundred thousand stones.
Enough to last them until the summer harvest.
Zhang Xiu was overjoyed.
