Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Outside the east gate, the officers and soldiers put all their efforts into the fight today, and wave after wave of them rushed forward without caring about their lives. Arrows flew up and down the city walls like locusts, bringing blood everywhere, and screams were heard from both sides.

When the officers and soldiers rushed to the foot of the city, logs and rocks rolled down from above, causing casualties among the people.

Seeing that several ladders had been placed on the top of the city wall on the left, Bo Cai ordered the people nearby, "Hurry up and cross them over."

Several thieves held the poles, and three of them worked together to push the first ladder down along the city wall. The officers and soldiers who were halfway up fell from mid-air, screamed, and could not move.

Just as the moth thieves were about to take down a fork, an arrow flew from below the city and pierced the throat of one of them. The man's throat gurgled twice, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground and died.

The battle was raging on the city walls when they suddenly saw two men galloping towards them from inside. Before they got close, one of them shouted, "Report! There's rioting at the west gate. The gate has been opened. We can't hold on any longer! Send reinforcements!"

The voices of the approaching people were like thunder, and even the noisy sounds from the city walls could not drown them out.

On the city wall, Bo Cai turned around and looked down at him, startled. "Who opened the door?"

The powerful families in the city surrendered or were killed, so how could the weak common people open the city gate?

The man said, "They are a group of knights-errant, all of them are brave and powerful. When I reported this, they were already unable to resist. I'm afraid the soldiers have already entered the city."

Bo Cai was skeptical and was about to send someone to check it out, but he saw that the faces of the soldiers around him had become extremely ugly, and most of them had even forgotten that they were fighting.

The words "officers and soldiers enter the city" brought the already low morale of the moth thieves down to zero. The holy body of the Great Sage Master has not been recovered yet. Are they going to die here?

No, they can't die, at least not now. They have to rescue the Great Sage Master.

"Yangdi is no longer defensible. There are no soldiers outside the north gate. Escape quickly and rob the holy body of the great and virtuous master." Another person who just came to report the news shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two riders who had brought the news galloped along the base of the city wall, shouting as they ran, "The soldiers have entered the city. Escape quickly through the north gate to rob the Great and Sage Master of his holy body."

"The soldiers have entered the city. Escape quickly through the north gate to seize the holy body of the Great and Virtuous Master."

Seeing this, Bo Cai suddenly understood what was happening and shouted, "These two are lying about military intelligence and misleading the people. Capture them now!"

Before he could finish his words, the two men had already run away.

The Yellow Turban Army had lax military discipline to begin with, and no one cared whether this was an order from their leader or not. They just knew that the city gate had been broken, and they had to escape quickly to loot the bodies. Many loyal believers on the city walls and at the city gates turned around and fled to the north gate.

Yangdi was originally occupied unintentionally, so it doesn’t matter whether it is lost or not, but the holy body of the Great Sage Master must not be set on fire. Now that the city has been broken, are they still going to stay and die?

"Stop, everyone, stop right there. If you try to escape military punishment again!" Bo Cai shouted loudly from behind, but no one listened to him.

Seeing that the soldiers under the city were attacking more and more fiercely and his soldiers had no fighting spirit, Bo Cai knew that the situation was hopeless. He had no choice but to agree to abandon Yangdi and rob the holy body of the Great Sage Master. Only then did some people agree to obey his orders and stay behind to cover the rear.

When the team reached the center of the city, Bo Cai became more and more angry. On the one hand, he ordered people to move valuables from the warehouse, and on the other hand, he sent people to slaughter all the imprisoned family members of Li Min.

At the east gate, Huangfu Song and others were surprised to see that the moth bandits, who were fighting fiercely just a moment ago, suddenly withdrew most of their troops.

What was going on in the city? Or were the bandits setting a trap to lure the soldiers into the city so they could wipe them out?

While he was hesitating, a scout came on horseback to report that the main force of the moth bandits had escaped from the north gate.

Escaped? Although the hope of breaking the city today is higher than in the past few days, it is not certain to succeed. Originally, we thought that if it failed again, we would withdraw first. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly reversed. It was really unexpected and pleasantly surprised. It seemed that there was indeed a master in the city who could help us.

Huangfu Song was overjoyed and quickly ordered his entire army to press forward. The hundreds of Yellow Turbans guarding the city walls could not hold out at all. In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers broke into the city.

Knowing that the enemy had fled, Huangfu Song did not enter the city. He left Wang Yun, Li Min and others to reorganize Yangdi. He and Cao Cao each led 5,000 troops to pursue them northward.

After being suppressed for so many days, this group of bandits finally came out of the city. If we don't kill them quickly, how can we be worthy of the many soldiers who lost their lives under the city of Yangdi?

Most of the bandits were infantrymen. Bo Cai was reluctant to leave his belongings behind, so he was caught up after running for more than 20 miles. Facing the well-trained elite troops of the imperial court, these peasant soldiers who were still carrying hoes a few months ago could not resist. Most of Zhang Jue's fanatical followers were killed, and the others took advantage of the chaos to escape to the mountains and forests. Their leader Bo Cai was beheaded on the horse.

……

Yangdi had been plundered by bandits. Although it was not completely destroyed, it was in a state of disarray. Most of the officials in the city were killed, and there was no one to manage all the affairs, which made Li Min very busy.

Just after checking the number of people killed in each household and was about to count the money and food stored in the warehouse by the thieves, he heard a soldier report that someone outside the mansion wanted to see him.

"I took the risk to help you break the city because I had no food to eat. Two days have passed, and what are you doing, old man? You even forbid the shops to open?" Seeing Li Min coming out, Ma Du pointed at his face and started scolding him.

Li Min was about to lose his temper, but after hearing what he said, he hurriedly asked, "Were you the ones spreading rumors in the city?"

Du Wandao looked very proud. "If not us, who else could it be? If we hadn't tricked the moth thieves away two days ago, you wouldn't have been able to break into the city."

Li Min had learned what had happened from the mouth of the captured thief. He originally thought that it was a brilliant idea from a scholar in Yingchuan, but he didn't expect it to be these... rangers?

He hurriedly let them into the house and ordered the servants to make tea and prepare food.

Ma Du said, "I'm not here to eat. Quickly tell the grain and medicine shops to open."

In fact, except for the Xu family, whose food reserves were devoured by these heroes, the other families were still able to maintain themselves, so Li Min was not in a hurry to deal with the shops. Moreover, most of the shops were run by wealthy families, and they were also looted. Only by counting the money and food of the wealthy families and returning them could the shops be reopened.

After Li Min explained the reason, Ma Du and the others looked much better. Sun Huangpi said, "Since that's the case, the Lord will provide some relief first."

He slammed another prescription on the table and said, "Please prepare ten doses of medicine according to this prescription first. Grandma's illness can't wait."

"It's easy to talk about."

Just as he was about to send someone to fetch food and medicine, a scholar behind Li Min whispered, "Lord, I'm afraid these people are here to defraud people. How could they, with their ignorant and crude appearance, come up with such a sophisticated and complex scheme?"

He said with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "I think at most they'll just start a fire or two to make some noise!"

After his reminder, Li Min regained consciousness. He looked over the men and turned to a soldier, whispering, "Bring in the captives who saw the two warriors at the East Gate so we can identify them."

The soldiers took the order and went down. At this time, Wang Yun and Cao Cao just came in from outside.

"What happened?" Wang Yun asked in surprise when he saw the people in the yard.

Li Min greeted him and asked, "Have all the troops assembled?"

Cao Cao said, "I have checked everything. We can go to Runan tomorrow to quell the rebellion."

Li Min nodded and said, "These warriors said that he and his men were inside the city and tricked the enemy troops into leaving. I was just about to send someone to verify this."

"Oh?"

Wang Yun and Cao Cao looked at Ma Du and his companions in surprise. Before they could ask any questions, the heroes erupted in anger. Ma Du shouted angrily, "You, old man, are insulting me. I'm a hero, not someone who cheats people out of food and drink. If you refuse to give me the food, fine. I'm not one to demand repayment. I only ask you to open your shop quickly. If my grandmother dies from want of medicine, I'll slaughter your entire family."

These people were the most lawless. Seeing how rude they were, the soldiers all drew their swords and wanted to capture them.

Ma Du and others were not afraid, and they also waved their weapons, as if they were determined to fight to the death.

Tensions were high between the two sides, with Wang Yun and Cao Cao busy mediating. Li Min smiled bitterly, "There's only one person left in my family. I wish I had a whole family for you to slaughter."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Ma Du and the others suddenly felt that they were being unreasonable. Amo only asked them to lead people to the Xu family, but they were relying on their merits to show off and look down on others.

Several people put away their weapons awkwardly and clasped their fists to express their apologies.

Ma Du said, "The idea of ​​helping the soldiers break through the city was proposed by the young lady of the Xu family. We are just helping out by running errands and shouting. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to come and identify me."

"The one who came up with the idea was a young lady?" Wang Yun was greatly surprised, and Li Min and others were also full of disbelief.

Ma Du nodded and said, "You can find out if you ask the Xu family."
