When Niu Laosan just started snoring, the dark clouds in the sky that had originally covered the moon slowly drifted away, revealing the half-full moon.

The cold moonlight poured down, and the originally deep and dark earth suddenly became much brighter.

Behind the hill, Geng Liang cat stared at the group of thieves snoring in the valley not far away. His face was calm, but his eyes were flashing with this excited light.

Although the eldest young master of the local owner's house was comfortable, he was too boring. How could he feel like licking blood on the knife head now?

He looked back at his younger brother Geng Ping who was holding a big knife in his hand and whispered: "How is it?"

"Brother, my big knife is already thirsty."

Geng Ping replied in a muffled voice, his eyes shaking under the moonlight, like a lion, tiger and beast lurking beside his prey at any time ready to launch a fatal blow.

"It turns out that life is still suitable for you. I heard from you that I have basically locked in the heads of this group of thieves. They may launch an attack at dawn, so let's do it before that."

"Brother, how did you know they would attack at dawn? Did you hear it?"

"Second, if you want to be a general in the future, you can't just rely on killing the big shots, but you have to learn to use your brain. Dawn is the time when people sleep the most. If these thieves want to make a sudden attack, they will definitely choose to take action at that time. I guess once they take action here, the main force of the thief army outside the city will follow suit to cover up the movement here."

"Would you like to remind the county magistrate?"

"That's not necessary. Although the lieutenant is young, he is very smart. He must have thought of it. Just do the errands in front of him."

"I'll listen to my brother."

"Okay, you and your brothers sleep for a while. I will guard the front midnight and ask you to get up and change your guards."

Geng Ping agreed, leaned over and explained to his men, and found a comfortable place to fall asleep with a big knife.

...

At some point before dawn, there were suddenly shouts of killing outside the west city of Sanshui County, but the thief army that had been making trouble all night suddenly launched an attack on the front of the city.

This time, the thief army did not drive away the people, but carried the simple ladders built and pushed various small cars, held sandbags and stones filled with soil, and held shields and door panels in front and rushed towards the city.

There is no main attacker, but it just rushed up in a swarm.

Almost at the same time, the three thousand thieves outside the East Gate also shouted and launched an attack on the East Gate.

Under the illumination of hundreds of torches raised above the city, the faces of the thieves under the city were like hideous beasts in the firelight, which made the defenders who had not sleeped for almost a night on the city frightened. Under the command of Liu Jian, who had not sleeped for the same night, he launched a counterattack against the thieves under the city.

The defenders guarding the east of the city also began to fight back.

Fierce offensive and defensive battles broke out at the same time, both east and west city walls.

The sudden outbreak of battle at the foot of the mountain awakened the ambush of the bandits in Phoenix Mountain. Niu Laosan used his scabbard to pat the faces of those still confused subordinates, kicked them with his feet, urging them to wake up quickly.

After everyone woke up, Niu Laosan took them quietly to the bottom of the mountain.

The place where they were ambushing and hiding was about two miles away from the north wall of Sanshui County. If it was too close, it would be easily discovered by the defenders on the top of the city. If it was too far, it would be unfavorable to raid.

To walk from the ambush to the base of the city wall, you must first climb over the small hill in front, and then a gentle slope.

He rushed directly from the gentle slope and reached the foot of the city wall.

As long as you reach the foot of the city wall and use these small tools to catch them, you can quickly climb to the top of the city and then kill towards the city gate. The inside and outside will be combined, and the city will be broken.

All night was fine, which made Niu Laosan, who was originally a little nervous, feel much more relieved, thinking that he might be a little too nervous.

After all, this time it was a city stealing, rather than robbing the house as before, so it is normal to be nervous.

He held his waist knife and rushed to the small hill quietly.

But as soon as he rushed up, he saw a dark figure standing in the dark and laughing at him, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Niu Laosan was shocked and knew that something was wrong. But before he could react, a flash of sword light suddenly burst out in the darkness.

Niu Laosan's head flew into the air, and then he saw a man with the same white teeth beside him waving a long-handled sword and slashing at a brother behind him.

He finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from, and then, there was nothing.

Geng Ping killed Niu Laosan with one sword, and his confidence increased. He waved a big sword and rushed into the thief like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Under the big sword, there was almost no enemy in a single unit.

Geng Liang led a group of patrol guards behind him to shoot arrows at the thieves.

The other men who used short swords and round shields protected Geng Ping and killed the thieves who were killing him.

Originally, the person who raided others was attacked by others, which was a sudden disaster for these bandits who were only good at fighting the wind.

Apart from fighting each other, all they can do is run away.

The ending is destined.

...

The thief soldiers at the foot of the mountain attacked the city regardless of everything, and the defenders at the top of the city counterattacked desperately. The battle between the two sides became fierce in a short period of time, becoming tragic and bloody, and the speed of corpses piled up under the city was shocking.

The defenders took advantage of the strong city's strength, arrows, gold juice, stones, wood and other sharp weapons poured down on the heads of the bandits' troops at any cost, causing heavy casualties to the bandits' troops.

However, the thief army won because there were many people and they were forced and driven away by Zhao Biao, and then used the robbery after breaking the city for three days to stimulate the temptation. Therefore, they attacked fiercely one by one, regardless of the various killing weapons falling on their heads.

Even some brave bandits actually lay on the ladder and crossed the moat, and climbed up to the top of the city.

Liu Jian led several obviously very powerful guards behind him to support the city. When he saw that there were bandits rushing up the city wall, he stepped forward to help.

Although the archers of the defenders on the city wall shot arrows almost constantly, the darkness before dawn still gave the thief army a great degree of cover, making the killing effect of the bow and arrow much worse than during the day.

Although Liu Jian guessed that the thief army might attack in the middle of the night, Zhao Biao's desperate attack on the whole line still made him a little busy.

There were more and more bandits coming up from the city wall. The two sides began to fight against each other at the city wall, and screams of fighting were heard one after another.

However, Sanshui County was just a county town after all, and the area at the top of the city was narrow. Although the bandits had fallen a lot, they were still in the siege due to the disadvantage of the number of people in the city.

When Zhao Biao saw his subordinates attacking the city, he laughed with a hideous ugly face and ordered that he continue to attack the city without stopping.

But he looked in the direction of Phoenix Mountain, but he was a little confused about why Niu Laosan and the others had not moved yet.

Forget it, I don’t care. Anyway, I have also attacked here. As long as I work harder, the county town will be quickly taken down.

At that time, I will let the county magistrate and county magistrate who slapped him in the face kneel in front of me and scream and beg for mercy like a dog, and then use his own methods of killing pigs and sheep to cure them, and finally cut off their heads as wine vessels.

It is said that in this way the powerful generals in ancient times deal with those enemies, and they can also imitate the ancients.

Liu Jian was covered in blood, swung his sword and turned a thief in front of him, frowned and looked into the dark distance.

If Li Xu doesn't show up again, the city will really be lost.

With the battle at the city wall, dawn slowly arrived, the sky began to become brighter from darkness and deep, and the whole world began to gradually become clearer.

A sudden sound of horse hooves ran towards the chaos above and below the city in the sun. First, a young general wearing a mountain armor and a blood-red cloak floating backward in the morning breeze was flying behind him holding a pair of eight-meter-blade horse spear and galloped away in the east.
