Chapter 638

"Following the county magistrate's order: quickly close the city gate."

The advantage of the county government being located in the center of the city is that it can issue orders to the four city gates in a timely manner.

Even if Cheng He reacted quickly, the four city gates were still caught in the flames of war, and the Han army who came from nowhere attacked the four city gates of Lu City at the same time.

Caught off guard, the military lords of the city gate were blocked by the people flocking to the city before they could close the gate, and then the Xianbei people pretending to be the Han army came and killed them, only killing blood in the city.

The Marquis of the city gate dared not shoot arrows for fear of accidentally injuring the people, so he could only watch the Xianbei cavalry enter the city gate.

When Cheng He got the news, he had already organized a lot of young men, so he could only send the young men to the four city gates to stop the enemy. However, the Qing Zhuang gates were all armed with simple weapons, and the consequences of dealing with the experienced Xianbei cavalry could be imagined.

Cheng He hurriedly went to see Mayor Lu, who had already put on his armor. When he saw Cheng He coming in, he said: "I know that the city gate has fallen into the enemy's hands. I regretted not listening to the county magistrate. If Dai Ling was not ordered to lead If the elite go out of the city and spread scouts everywhere, Lu City will not have the disaster it is today, this is a fault!"

Cheng He persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is not the time for remorse. Your Majesty should lead his troops out of Lucheng and report the details to the prefect and the surrounding counties."

Mayor Lu waved his hand: "Major of Cheng County, someone was born in Lu City, if it wasn't for the war, how could someone be the head of Lu City, hey! It is said that Qin Gong is wise. But someone did not guard Lu City well, so that Lu City has fallen into the hands of the enemy, so what face do you have to face the people in the city, what face do you have to meet the prefect and the Duke of Qin, so you will not leave Lu City, and you will live and die with Lu City."

Cheng He was infected by Mayor Lu's heroism, and said: "I am also willing to go to death with the envoy."

City Chief Lu smiled: "Cheng County Prime Minister is worthy of being a good official, but as you said, someone must notify the prefect and the county chiefs, ordinary people may not even be able to enter the gate of the prefect's mansion, this task must be done by the county magistrate. "

"My lord..."

"The county magistrate don't want to say any more. The people of Lu City have been caught in the flames of war because of a certain person, and he really doesn't want to affect the people of other counties. The county magistrate thinks about the lord's foundation and leads people to leave!"

Seeing what Cheng He wanted to say, City Mayor Lu interrupted Cheng He directly.

"Here!"

Although Mayor Lu sometimes loves and caresses, he is not stupid. How can a fool be Mayor Lu?
Cheng He could only leave the county mansion with tears in his eyes, organize the private soldiers of various ethnic groups to come one after another, and then kill the generals through the west gate.

Lucheng is located outside of Mount Xufu. Because of the bandits in Mount Xufu, the private soldiers of all ethnic groups are fully equipped with armor and armor.

Cheng He looked at the hundreds of private soldiers around him, and said: "Boys, the rebels have entered the city, and the fall of Lu City is inevitable. The only way to get revenge is to get out of Lu City and go to Yanmen to ask for reinforcements."

"Get out of Lu City, revenge, revenge."

None of the gentry clans expected the enemy to be so powerful, even Cheng He didn't expect so many enemy troops to come out. Where did this come from?
Seeing that Cheng He wanted to go out to ask for help, all the nobles stuffed their nephews into private soldiers. It was only a matter of time before the fall of Lucheng. Entering the city will definitely bloodbath the city.

They are old and willing to live and die with Lucheng. They only hope that their nephews can come back with the reinforcements, and whether they have reinforcements or not depends on whether they can escape from Lucheng.

Cheng He immediately rushed to the west gate with the hope of the Lucheng people.

The west city gate had already fallen, and the Xianbei cavalry scattered into the houses in the city when they entered the city. Therefore, Cheng He quickly rushed to the west city gate, but he couldn't help crying when he saw the miserable appearance on both sides of the road. As long as Cheng He gives an order, they are willing to fight the bandit army to the end at any time.

Cheng He quickly led his troops out of the city, fearing that if he was slower, he would order to kill them back.

When Cheng He rushed out of the city gate, two Confucian scholars came from outside the city surrounded by dozens of cavalry bandits. These two Confucian scholars were Sima Yi and Zhu Ao who had come from Xufu Pavilion.

Zhu Ao saw Cheng He and his private soldiers fighting out from a distance, and said, "Zhong Da, that man is the magistrate of Lucheng County, he is quite talented, so we can't let him go."

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Otherwise, since he is talented, he should be let go. Xianbei people are not good at attacking cities, so it's better to fight in the wild."

Zhu Ao suddenly said: "Zhong Da is really good at calculating."

Before dark, Lu City finally fell, and the mayor of Lu City led the soldiers to fight to the death in the county mansion, but Yu Wenzhong personally chopped off his head.

After Lucheng Chang died, Yu Wenzhong immediately ordered thousands of Xianbei cavalry to plunder the city, and the city immediately presented a scene of hell.

The county government of Yanmen County is in Shanwu, and Shanwu is outside the Great Wall. The main force of Yanmen outside the Great Wall is fighting against the main force of Xianbei. Cheng He can only send people to notify the guards in each city, and at the same time go down the Hutuo River and go straight to Yangqu. Wang Jinyang asked for reinforcements.

Qin Yilu, a lieutenant in the north of Taiyuan, was inspecting the preparations for the autumn harvest in several counties in the north. He happened to meet Cheng He. He immediately sent people to escort Cheng He to Jinyang, and at the same time rectified troops in Yangqu, ready to attack Lucheng along the Hutuo River at any time.

The Xianbei cavalry rested overnight in Lucheng, then arrested young and strong men in Lucheng, and marched towards Miaorencheng half a day later.

The surrounding villages were attacked by Zhu Ao and others, the wheat fields were burned, and young men were arrested.

Seeing the strength of the bandit army outside the city, the leader of the people ordered to defend the city, while asking for help from Guangwu and other counties.

Sima Yi stayed to wish Ao to besiege the city, and he himself supervised the Xianbei cavalry until Guangwu City.

Guangwuling sent a school lieutenant out of the city to support Xiaoren, but was ambushed by Sima Yi, and the Guangwu soldiers were completely wiped out. Sima Yi then ordered people to pretend to attack the city at night, but was spotted by Guangwuling, who shot him with archers. He shot back, and then ordered the sergeant to defend the city.

In the small town of Yuanping, Qin Yilu led thousands of troops to station under Huang Zhong's military order. Sima Yi was about to order the Xianbei people to go south, but Yu Wenzhong, the Xianbei commander-in-chief, objected: "Sir, before coming here, Shanyu meant to attack the Yanmen from inside and outside to welcome the army to enter." Also, now that we are going south to attack Taiyuan, we are vainly paying attention to Yanmen, which is a bit inappropriate!"

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Little Commander, Taiyuan has sent rescue troops to Yuanping. If you and I turn around and attack the Yanmen pass, it would be fine if we can break through in one fell swoop. If not, I'm afraid we will be annihilated by the Lucheng army at the foot of the Great Wall. Rather than this, it's better Defeat the reinforcements of the Lucheng Army first, and then break through the Great Wall pass later, Shan Yu's [-] troops are in Mount Heng, so he doesn't care about a few days, does he?"

Yu Wenzhong's eyes widened when he heard the words, he already knew what happened today, and he was fooling Shanyu.

Seeing Yu Wenzhong's angry face, Sima Yi knew something was wrong, and said, "Young Marshal Yuwen, there is no need to say much about the richness of Jinyang. If you follow Shanyu, how much wealth you can get, but you broke Jinyang alone. Yang, first plunder and then welcome Shanyu into the annexation, how much money can you get?"

Money touches people's hearts, even a stern army like the Lucheng Army has people who hide their goods, let alone a tribal army like Xianbei's tribal alliance?

Yu Wenzhong immediately made up his mind to lead his army south.
