The wind blew across the treetops and blew to the eaves. The lanterns swayed. The orange light flashed on the ground. In the darkness, an orange yellow walked across the yard. A slight rustling sound came, and the bang was knocking for a while.

The guards in the backyard yawned, guarded the moon gate and the corridors entering and leaving, walked past them in and out, and turned to the other side, glanced at the confined house there. At the next turn, Han Long blew out the candles in the lantern and drilled into the bushes next to him.

His footsteps gently stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, and his breathing almost stopped. He moved forward and kept paying attention to the guards under the eaves of the corridor. Occasionally, a team of guards patrolling passed by above his head. When the footsteps sounded far away, he flipped over the guardrail and jumped under the eaves to the wall or hid under the eaves with exquisite patterns and approached the door.

Silent.

During his calm breathing, after observing the movements of the guards again, Han Long took out a dagger from his trouser leg. It was a very strange weapon. The body of the weapon was narrow and thin. It was easily inserted through the gap in the door leaf. His wrist trembled slightly, as if he was silently pushing something away.

The other hand pressed on one side of the door leaf, and for a moment, a gap was slightly cracked in the door. The blade turned and pressed upside down to the wrist. Han Long turned around and glanced at the guard five feet away, and held one hand on the edge of the door leaf and slowly pushed it open to the point. His thin body flashed in and covered it gently.

The light shining outside the window was in the dim light. The black shadow lying on the side was breathing evenly, and there was no one in the room that suddenly appeared. On the other side, the steps were moving carefully, beware of touching the tiny ornaments that might appear in the room, looking at the opposite side without blinking, and then approaching.

The thin knife attached to the wrist flips in the hand and holds it inverted.

One step...two steps...three steps...when he was almost ten steps away from the sleeping old man, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house and ran towards him. On the bed, the figure seemed to hear the movement. The moment Han Long frowned, he turned around and dodged and hid behind a screen not far away.

The gently covered door slammed open, and the stumbled figure rushed in, and the old man was sitting up from the bed at this time.

"...Master, it's not good! The Xiliang army is about to fight to the city..."

"Where are others in Lu Bu?" This is the old man's voice.

"The news came from outside that said that the West... More than 100,000 people from the Xiliang army besieged the city, and the Marquis Wen has led his troops out of the city to fight."

"I'm confused, the thief army is powerful, so I should use the city to defend it. I have sent two generals Xu Rong and Hu Zhen out of the city to fight the enemy. Is there any news coming back?"

"I don't know..."

The sound of dressing was rustling, and after a while, the old man's voice sounded again: "The Xiliang army is powerful, and there are not enough soldiers in the city. You can immediately send my order and send someone to the homes of the ministers to send their servants and guard the city together..."

The voice of his speech went away with the sound of footsteps. Behind the screen, the figure walked out and saw the door that was not closed and knew that it was very urgent. After seeing that there was no one outside, Han Long sneaked out quietly and was about to find an opportunity to go out to find Li Heizi, a person who looked like a manager suddenly stopped him: "Come here... go to the front yard to gather quickly and go to the city wall to help defend the city."

A thought flashed through Han Long's mind, and he nodded.

...

How to push the Xiliang Army over, time has to be pushed forward a little. Li Ru, who had quietly changed, returned to see the general who had already stepped on the war horse.

On the school ground in the center, some soldiers were waiting for orders, standing there in a dark place. On the other side, Xu Rong seemed to be waiting for him to come. Li Ru dragged his broad sleeves straight over in the sight of everyone and bowed: "The general sent troops rashly, but after exploring Hu Zhen's movements, he was normal for friendly troops to come as soon as there was news."

"How can I not know about this? I had already asked the scouts to go and investigate..." Xu Rong was on the back of the horse, his face was so terrifying. He obviously understood that if there was a problem with the flank, he would face an attack from two directions next. Even if he had great skills, he could not stop the Xiliang army from pushing over. After a while of silence, he almost roared: "I have not left yet, just waiting for the news to be transmitted back..."

"Hu Wencai thought he had already surrendered to the enemy. If he was facing such a dangerous situation, it would be better to take the initiative and break the way." Li Ru walked to the opponent's horse and raised his finger: "Slay a series of attacks and break out first, let the Western Liang army attack Chang'an. The general can wander outside and find an opportunity to hinder the opponent's baggage. If Marquis Wen is present in the city, he will definitely be fine. When the bandits are trapped and there are too few horses, they will attack inside and outside, and they will be able to break the enemy."

Xu Rong crossed the reins, looked at him for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Now that's the only way." Then, he turned around and issued an order: "Transfer the order, the front army immediately set out north, pick the bells and wrap the hooves, and kill for a while."

As he ordered the command, the commander rushed out. On the originally silent school ground, more than 10,000 infantrymen took steps to rush out of the village gate.

The night sky was heading north, and the troops were marching in the dark. Hu Zhen often sent orders to help the infantry in the rear speed up. He was originally a native of Liangzhou who surrendered to Wang Yun, but the incident suddenly had no time to respond. Now that the army has returned to avenge Tai Shi Dong, he naturally has to do his best. The selfishness in it may be more serious.

The team ahead suddenly changed a little. Hu Zhen looked at it and looked back: "What's going on..."

A sound arrow shot into the sky.

"Enemy attack--" A voice suddenly screamed in front of him.

The field is spacious, and it was night again. The ground suddenly vibrated. It was impossible to see who was setting up an ambush here. Before he could figure out the situation, the second arrow exploded in the sky. The shouts of the tide swept over, which scared him and quickly wanted to organize the long dragon-like team to defend.

However, the iron cavalry rushed straight over and cut the marching troops into three sections. During the fight, Hu Zhen led his men to resist for a while, but the collapse was already completed. He could not take care of each other from the head and tail, so he had to break out with hundreds of cavalry and headed to the east.

Half an hour after the battle, more than 10,000 remaining men surrendered in this chaotic army. Xu Rong rode on the horse and glanced over them. There was no expression on his black and thin long bearded face. Shortly after he stopped the horse, the scholar behind also rode over: "It is a burden to carry so many prisoners, so it is better to..." His voice lowered, "...kill them all."

"It's too late." Xu Rong took a few steps on his horse, "Guo Si, Li Jue will step up when he received Hu Zhen's defeat. If he wasted time, he would inevitably be caught up and take them away..."

After pausing, he pointed to the north: "Go to Zuo Fengyi to rest for a night before going back to Chang'an."

On this night, the army escorted the prisoners to spread into the darkness. On the other side, Guo Li and other Xiliang generals who received the news accelerated the march. They did not pay attention to the fleeing team because of Hu Zhen's defeat, but were reminded by Jia Xu and rushed straight towards Chang'an.

Then, their first battle was to meet Lu Bu.

Twenty miles east of Wei Bridge, it was already the second half of the night. In the blue sky, torches spread like a sea of ​​people. The vast army was spreading in a straight line for several miles, and then collided with the reefs here, causing surging shouts. The eight hundred army formation named "Sank the Formation" stood in a tightened hedgehog in the sea of ​​people. The spear was stained with blood and hung with people's organs. The Xiliang soldiers who were shaking on their abdomen fell into a pool of blood. In the surrounding front line, people's feet splashed blood on the ground. The weapons in their hands kept fighting with the oncoming weapons, making a twisted sound of metal collision.

On the battlefield where dog teeth were intertwined, arrows that ignited flames continued to fly over people's heads. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry rushed straight from the side, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry ran in parallel with it, and then collided with it. The horse's hooves flew and fell, and the figure pounced on the sky, fell and died, or was trampled by countless galloping horse's hooves and turned into meat mud.

A fiery red war horse passed through several Western Liang iron cavalry. The robes of the colored battle robe were lightly raised, and the chests of two generals waving spears speared blood and fell off the horse. Fang Tian's painting halberd dripped blood, Lu Bu was wearing the beast's head and swallowed golden armor, and rode the red rabbit standing in the middle of the battlefield like a god of war. The surrounding guards kept blocking the rushing Xiliang soldiers outside.

In this battle, the Bingzhou army had only 20,000 people, but they were facing an entire number of enemies. Lu Bu had never been afraid of crossing the grassland and then killing the Central Plains. When the other party rushed over, he killed without hesitation. It was not just to prove his bravery, but to go along the way, he first killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and be a son for others. Now, with the old man's tip, he understood what he wanted to do.

Now that he is on the emperor's side, no one in the world should have called him aided the evildoer...

The sound of chaotic fighting surrounds the surroundings. A cavalry scattered the soldiers of Xiliang from afar and killed here. The cavalry general carrying a hook and sickle came over and wiped the blood from his face: "Fengxian, the more Xiliang troops are killing, we can't afford it. It's time to withdraw our troops and return to Chang'an to defend."

"Stop it for a while, don't let them siege with high morale..." Lu Bu turned his head and looked away from Zhang Liao, "If even they can't stop it..."

On the other side, Zhang Liao rode his horse to him and shouted loudly: "Lu Fengxian! Brothers' lives are also fate. We come from Bingzhou, and there are 30,000 people. Let's see how many there are!! Do you want to turn all your brothers here? What can you prove? At that time, you were alone, what can you do alone?"

On this side, Lu Bu was shocked and angrily silent for a while, swept over the soldiers fighting around him, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay! Let's go back to the city first! The message ordered everyone to retreat and not panic-"

The order to retreat began to be passed, and the intertwined figures began to separate and retreated like a tide. Lu Bu and a cavalry of about 2,000 people interspered from the side, defeating the Xiliang cavalry who were trying to pursue. The generals retreating in front were also constantly shrinking the chaotic soldiers, evacuating and rectifying the formation, so as not to turn the withdrawal into a real defeat. He entangled all the way, and fought towards the East Gate of Chang'an while walking.

"The two generals Guo and Li can charge at this time... they can rob the city gate." In the rear where countless people were crowded, Jia Xu rode on a docile horse and spoke.

The Xiliang Army sounded the desolate horn.

Countless figures ran wildly, and more Western Liang cavalry rushed straight from the left and right wings behind. The entangled battle suddenly turned into a surging offensive like raging waves and rolled over.

Qingming lit up, and countless panicked steps stepped into the suspension bridge that had been put down. The city gate was open, and the guards on the city kept shouting down, asking the defeated soldiers to enter the city quickly. In the distance of his vision, in the slight light of the sky, the black clouds pressed over.

"Close the city gate quickly-" He drew his sword and slashed on the walls, shouting loudly, and the rumbling horse hooves rushed over, and then dense arrows flew into the sky and covered the top of the city.

Puff puff puff puff —

The knife fell to the ground with a sound, and the figure leaned back. On the top of the city, the archers shot arrows at the Xiliang cavalry that were rushing towards the tide below. Even though there were still figures falling from the horse's back, they could not drive them away. They slightly put away the suspension bridge, and the horse's hooves stepped on it. The slowly rising iron chain suddenly fell and could no longer move.

Countless horse hooves roared across the suspension bridge, rushed into the city gate, and rushed into the county soldiers at the crowded city gate.

Lu Bu speeded down the street and pulled Zhang Liao: "Go and take my wife and daughter away from the north gate... and Shizhong Cai's daughter is with you."

The other side nodded and led some cavalry to leave in a hurry. Lu Bu glanced at the rear. The east gate was already in chaos. It took only a moment for 100,000 Xiliang troops to enter the city, and the situation of the city's breaking could not be restored.

"Let's go..." He shouted softly, pulled the reins hard, and led the rest of the people towards the inner city. The defense was still there, and the troops could not reach this place for the time being, but without reinforcements outside, the inner city was just a turtle in a jar. When he arrived at the door of Qingsuo, Lu Bu saw the figure standing on the top of the city.

"The bandits have entered the city, and Bu's resistance is unfavorable. Please follow me to break through and leave."

On the city tower, the old man was surrounded by countless servants from home. The guards stood with swords, their eyes were muddy, and they shook their heads: "Go away, Mr. Wen, I am a country all over. How could I abandon Your Majesty and escape at the time of life and death? It is not done by loyal ministers."

Lu Bu turned his horse's head anxiously, and the sound of fighting behind him was getting closer and closer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ah!" and turned around: "Let's go--"

Looking at the soldiers below leaving, Wang Yun sighed behind his back and waved to the ward of the servants behind him: "You... leave too, the city has been broken, and the bandits entered the city. If you guard it, you will die in vain. Let's go."

The servant behind the old man was not willing to come up to defend the city and die. At this time, when he heard the pardon, he hurriedly fled down the city tower and left several people by his side.

"You...well...if you want to stay with me, please stay..." Wang Yun looked at the people behind him, and smiled on his old face.

However, at this moment, a servant lowered his head and suddenly walked out. Before the rest could react, the other party had already rushed over and took out a dagger from his sleeve.

"you……"

The old man's crown fell down, and he looked at the man and opened his mouth slightly to make a sound. The figure on the other side waved the blade and wiped it across his neck. He grabbed the old man's hair bun with his hands, pulled it outward, and lifted his head in his hand.

Han Long looked at the servants of the royal palace who wanted to step forward but hesitated, and turned around and strode away with his white heads.

The team fleeing out of the city gate in panic, Lu Bu tied the horse's hooves and looked back at the imperial city. The fire burned from the east, and the war spread and the fight was in full swing.

The imperial power has come to an end.
Chapter completed!
