Chapter 272
Di Qing glanced at Gao Shun through the opening in the iron mask, and then said softly, "General Gao, what you should be concerned about is where can we find Lu Bu."

Gao Shun himself was also cold-tempered. Seeing that Di Qing was unwilling to talk to him, he simply stopped talking. Along the way, the ten thousand cavalrymen made no noise at all, and rushed straight to Anyi.

At this time, Anyi was already caught in the flames of war, and the gates of the various cities were immediately taken down by the rebels in the city together with Cao Bing Li Yingwai.

At the beginning, it was only the cavalry under Yuan Niufu who rebelled, but after the turmoil broke out, someone soon said that the infantry under Yuan Niufu was moved, plus the Cao army who came from outside the city, the comparison of the strength of the two sides is from the number Zhang Xiu is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

When Xu Huang left Hedong, more than half of the 5 people were former Niu Fu's subordinates. With the rebellion of these people, Zhang Xiu had to face an enemy force almost twice as large as his own in an instant.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu suffered from being attacked and lost control of the city gate at once. After Zhang Xiu gave an order, he led his Xiliang soldiers to retreat to the city. The rebels under him started close street fighting.

In the streets and alleys of Anyi city, the sound of killing could be heard clearly, and from time to time, a riot of dozens of people would erupt from a certain street or alley. Cao Hong, the leader of the Cao army, frowned on the tower Looking at the chaos in the city, the situation in Anyi at this time was obviously something he hadn't expected.

What surprised Cao Hong the most was that the remaining Xiliang army was extremely powerful. Since this day, Cao Hong's own offensive has been repulsed several times.

At this time, a side general beside Cao Hong said to Cao Hong, "General, there is no news from Shangdang."

Cao Hong responded briefly, "Understood."

Afterwards, he picked up the big knife in his hand and walked downstairs, saying: "Since you're here, you can't go in vain. Follow me to take down the treasury in Anyi and empty it!"

The deputy general stepped forward to persuade: "General, Mr. Feng Xiao said before that if we can't take Anyi in a day, we will retreat immediately!"

Cao Hong snorted coldly: "Isn't this general retreating?! To retreat, you have to bring money and food!"

The deputy general had no choice but to lead the troops to keep up.

In Anyi City, Zhang Xiu, with torn armor and bloody face, was looking at the floor plan of Anyi City in a small building. Small stones of different shapes were placed on the map, and the angular stones represented Zhang Xiu's men. Soldiers, round stones without corners represent incoming enemy troops.

From the map, it can be clearly seen that angular stones occupy important places in the city, such as the prefect's mansion, arsenal, treasury, etc., but the dangerous places such as city gates and towers have been completely controlled by round stones live.

Suddenly, the door of the small building was knocked open, and a blood-stained Xiliang soldier broke in and said to Zhang Xiu:
"Report to General! Cao Hong personally led the brigade to the treasury!"

"Among them are the cavalry under Niu Fu who has already defected!"

"boom!"

Zhang Xiu punched the table in front of him, annoyed:
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault"

"From the bank of the Yellow River to the city of Anyi, all the scouts scattered along the way were Niufu's cavalry. The Lord's Jin Yiwei was killed by more than a dozen people in front of my gate, but I didn't know anything about it. A stupid general in the army, apart from me, Zhang Xiu, I'm afraid there is no one else."

"My lord's plan to march into Bingzhou has been ruined by me."

The sergeant beside Zhang Xiu began to persuade: "General, it's too early to say this, we still have half of Anyi in our hands, so Cao Hong wants to take Anyi, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!"

Zhang Xiu asked: "What is the strength of the troops in the various places in the city?"

Several lieutenants first reported one by one in a low voice, and then one of them stood up and said to Zhang Xiu: "General, right now our people are scattered in various parts of the city, and many of them cannot be contacted temporarily. There are 4000 people, more than 2000 in the arsenal, and more than 2000 in the treasury."

"How many people can we gather now?"

"Three thousand."

Zhang Xiu stared at the treasury on the map, his eyes gradually filled with the will to die. After a long time, Zhang Xiu suddenly knocked on the table hard, then his face tightened, and then he ordered: "Call people, follow me Treasury!"

"promise!"

When Zhang Xiu gave an order, those generals went out to prepare one after another, but the general who persuaded Zhang Xiu just stayed. Zhang Xiu looked up at him and asked, "What else do you need?"

Na Pianjiang came to Zhang Xiu's side, reached out and patted Zhang Xiu's arm, and said:
"Young General, I used to be under General Zhang Ji, and I have been with General Zhang Ji since you were very young.

Hearing what the general said, the coldness in Zhang Xiu's eyes melted a little, and he said to the general: "The arsenal is also an important place, there are only more than 2000 people there, and it is a bit weak. The people you bring go there to strengthen it." Take precautions."

The general smiled slightly, and said: "The humble officer has lived for so many decades, of course it can be seen that the major general has a death wish in his heart, so, the inferior officer thanked the minor general first."

Then, the partial general said: "However, what the major general said is a little underestimating the humble position. Today, the humble position wants to say something to the major general. The life of my king tiger was rescued by General Zhang Ji from Liangzhou. Since the general has the ambition to fall into battle, then I will return this life to the young general!"

Saying that, the general bowed to Zhang Xiu, turned around and left.

A quarter of an hour later, before Zhang Xiu led thousands of troops to appear in the Anyi treasury, he gathered nearly a thousand scattered Xiliang soldiers along the way. When Zhang Xiu appeared on the road in front of the Anyi treasury, At that time, Cao Hong happened to appear on the other side.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu on the opposite side was full of infantry and found no organized spearmen, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He raised the long knife in his hand and ordered:
"cavalry!"

Da da da--

The crisp sound of horseshoes sounded, and the soldiers behind Cao Hong immediately lined up on both sides, and a group of hundreds of cavalry appeared behind Cao Hong.

Zhang Xiu waved the spear forward in his hand and shouted:

"The whole army!"

Immediately, the Xiliang soldiers behind Zhang Xiu roared in unison:

"kill!"

Cao Hong: "The cavalry obey orders and charge!"

Zhang Xiu: "The whole army!"

Soldiers from Xiliang: "Fight to the death and never retreat!"

"kill!"

boom -

The sound of rolling horseshoes resounded at the end of the long street, and hundreds of cavalry attacked Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Army infantry!
But at this time outside the city of Anyi, a group of black cavalry finally arrived. Looking at Cao Jun who was in a mess at the top of the city when he saw him coming, Di Qing lightly helped his iron mask.
