Chapter 819 [Meaning]

This incident left a great shadow in Han Meng's heart, he thought that the death of his parents was caused by Zhang He's family, and in anger, he broke with Zhang He, left his hometown with half of his military book, and began to wander around. Zhang He also went to look for Han Meng, but he couldn't find it, so he had no choice but to return to his hometown, and it wasn't until the Yellow Turban Uprising that he was conscripted into the army...... And Han Meng gradually became stronger in the wanderings, and his mind became mature, and by chance, he met Wang Yue, who was known as the first swordsman, and got the swordsmanship taught by Wang Yue, and practiced hard to become a talent, and finally met Yuan Shao in Runan County, Yuzhou, to recruit guests, and since then he has followed Yuan Shao's left and right.

Now that the two are reunited again, the past ten years ago has emerged in the hearts of the two people little by little, making the mood of the two people very emotional.

Han Meng sighed heavily, looked at Zhang He who was standing in the barracks looking upstairs, squirmed his lips, and said softly: "Jun Yi, the previous things have passed, and now we are each our own masters, I am afraid it is difficult to reminisce about the old feelings, no matter who wins this war, this will be a battlefield for you and me." ”

"General! The lord had an order for the general to cooperate with the six generals LΓΌ Kuang, LΓΌ Xiang, Zhang Nan, Jiang Qi, Jiang Yiqu, and Zhang Yi to attack the enemy outside the city for a while. A scout walked straight to Han Meng's side and arched his hand.

Han Meng's thoughts were interrupted, and he turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" How did the six of them get out? ”

The scout said: "Those who went out from the West Gate, the Jin army gathered outside the West Gate, and they don't know where Lu Bu took the army. Leaving only 1,000 people to guard the camp, the military advisor saw the opportunity and asked General Wen to lead his troops to rush and kill. Lu Kuang and the others took the opportunity to kill from the west gate, and now they are detouring to the south gate, preparing to kill from behind the Yan army, and ask the general to cooperate! ”

Han Meng said: "I know, you reply to the lord, just say that Han Meng will do his best to lead his troops to storm the Yan army camp!" ”

The scout retreated. Slowly descended the tower.

Han Meng hurriedly turned around and frowned when he looked at the Yan soldiers who were waiting on the opposite side. Said slowly: "Rao is Lu Kuang and others from behind, Zhang He's defense is also very tight, Lu Kuang and others should lead cavalry, but Zhang Heruo let the whole army hide in a deep ditch." Then the cavalry would have been divided into many parts. And if I want to attack by force, I will inevitably lose my troops, what should I do? ”

Han Meng was thinking about it, a group of Zhao cavalry suddenly appeared behind the Yan army camp, and the Zhao army cavalry was divided into six strands, each of which was arranged in a cone shape and rushed forward, looking from the city tower, it was like six sharp swords.

"Yes. It's too late, you have to do everything you can to figure it out! Han Meng glanced at the Yan army's hoplites and cavalry on both sides of the position blocked under the drawbridge. His brows furrowed, "The heavy infantry and heavy cavalry of the Yan army are simply unbreakable, and the arrows can't hurt them at all, if I want to get out of the city, I must first defeat this bunch of iron warriors......"

Han Meng's mind spun rapidly, his eyes wandered around, and when he saw the pillars on the city wall used to support the gatehouse, a thought quickly flashed through his mind, causing him to pat his thigh hard, and a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Yes, do it!" ”

Turning around and walking down the city tower quickly, Han Meng shouted loudly: "Send the order, quickly dismantle a thousand long wooden stakes from nearby, and select another thousand strong and powerful people to go out of the city with me!" ”

……

Zhang He was still standing on the watchtower and watching, when he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of horses' hooves coming from behind the camp, so he hurriedly turned around and saw about 6,000 cavalry of the Zhao army coming from behind. He was slightly taken aback, and he couldn't imagine that in the case of the army surrounding Yecheng layer by layer, there would be cavalry coming out of the city. He immediately shouted: "Enemy attack! All troops on alert! ”

Five thousand crossbowmen were reserved in the camp, half of them were archers and half of them were crossbowmen, and after Zhang He's order, they quickly assembled behind the camp and met the invading enemy through the wooden fence that was deeply wedged into the ground.

The alarm bell on the watchtower was ringing, and the 10,000 infantry hiding in the trenches in front of the large battalion did not move in the slightest, not affected by the enemy attack in the slightest. Zhang He had already gotten off the watchtower at this time, and rode a horse and quickly galloped towards the back of the camp.

There is only one gate in the camp, and the rest of the place is surrounded by a wooden fence, and in an open space behind the camp, the archers have been full of bows and arrows, and when they saw the cavalry of the Zhao army quickly rushing into the range, all the archers began to shoot arrows into the sky under the command of their military horses, and the arrows flew out at a rapid speed, and fell into the cavalry group, and the arrows flew wildly, and immediately a piece of cavalry fell from the horse.

The crossbowmen all held a repeater in their hands, but because the range was too close, they had to wait for the cavalry to enter the range before they could shoot, each crossbowman was half-crouched on the ground, turned his head sideways and stared at the crossbow machine with his eyes, gently closed one eye, aimed at the cavalry who was rushing towards the camp together, and when the cavalry quickly rushed into the range, the crossbowmen immediately pulled the crossbow machine continuously, and the crossbow arrows contained in the arrow box shot out one after another, half shooting horses, half shooting people, So that the cavalry who rushed over all turned on their backs.

The cavalry led by LΓΌ Kuang, LΓΌ Xiang, Zhang Nan, Jiang Qi, Jiang Yiqu, and Zhang Yiliu quickly merged together, twisted into a huge sharp blade, and rushed towards the Yan army camp. However, the first wave of more than 1,000 cavalry rushing to the front fell in the blink of an eye under the interweaving of the Yan army's powerful bows and crossbow arrows, leaving behind the corpses of people and animals.

Seeing this, the six generals reined in their horses and gathered together. After the six generals looked at each other, they listened to Zhang Nandao: "The Yan army's arrow array is too powerful, ten times more fierce than our army's hard crossbows, and I have never seen those crossbowmen reload crossbow arrows, as if the enemy crossbowmen have a steady stream of crossbow arrows, do you have any way to break through this arrow array?" ”

Jiang Yiqu saw that the corpses in front of him were all over the field, most of them died under the arrows, and those who did not die were almost dying, and there were still some people and animals who were struggling to die, but they were shot to death by the Yan army's crossbowmen one after another. He frowned and said loudly, "It seems that the Yan army has already taken precautions. Otherwise, if we had suddenly attacked, they would not have concentrated all their forces behind the battalion so quickly. If you attack strongly, I am afraid that you will suffer heavy casualties. It is better to break the wooden fence of the Yan army's camp, and then drive the cavalry to carry out a fierce attack, even if you use the hooves of horses, you can trample these crossbowmen to death, as long as we get close, they can't run if they want to. ”

Jiang Qi said: "Then how do we outwit it?" ”

Lu Kuang looked at the Yan army camp and said casually: "It's better to divide the troops and collide." Advancing from the left, center, and right, once the Yan army's forces are dispersed, the arrows will not be too dense. It also gives us an opportunity. ”

Zhang Nan said: "Okay, this mention is good, I led the troops to rush into the fence of the Yan army camp from the left flank." ”

"I'm ramming from the right flank!" Zhang Yi answered.

Among the six generals, Jiang Yiqu has the highest position. Therefore, the six generals are basically looking forward to Jiang Yiqu. Jiang Yiqu listened to Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi's words of volunteering. Then he said: "Okay, each of you will lead a thousand cavalry to charge from the left and right flanks, and I will lead the rest of the cavalry to charge from the center to attract the enemy's attention." Remember, you must succeed, as long as you break the enemy fence, our army can enter the enemy camp and kill the enemy unimpeded. When the time comes, the enemy's arrows will all be bullshit! ”

The two generals Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi said: "General rest assured, the two of us will definitely move forward bravely." Never back down! ”

Jiang Yiqu nodded heavily, and immediately divided the two thousand cavalry into Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi, and he himself led the remaining three thousand cavalry to gather together.

"Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Jiang Qi." Jiang Yiqu shouted loudly.

"What does the general command?" Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Jiang Qi replied in unison.

Jiang Yi channel: "Which of you wants to be a striker?" ”

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang glanced at each other, the eyes of the two brothers were very strange, and they unconsciously took a step back, and at the same time pointed at Jiang Qi and said, "My subordinates think that Jiang Qi must be!" ”

Jiang Qi was not ambiguous, and when he heard Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's recommendations, he hugged his fists and said, "General, Jiang Qi is willing to be the striker." ”

Although Jiang Yiqu and Jiang Qi are both surnamed Jiang, it is a pity that they are not a family, and they are not related to each other at all, Jiang Yiqu knows Jiang Qi's martial arts and bravery, and he is known as "Xiao Yanliang" in Zhao Jun, and the position of striker is naturally him. Jiang Yiqu nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Strong! I will divide your 1,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and no matter what happens, you are not allowed to retreat, but you must charge forward violently, as long as you can break through a hole, our army can enter the enemy camp and harvest the heads to your heart's content. ”

Jiang Qi glanced at the spear in his hand, and with a "promise", he ordered a thousand cavalry to line up in front of Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang, and arranged the cavalry in the shape of an "arrow", just waiting for Jiang Yiqu to give an order.

Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi each led a thousand cavalry to disperse to the left and right flanks, standing far away from the enemy's firing range, and then lined up in a cone-shaped charging camp again, also waiting for Jiang Yiqu's order.

In the Yan army camp, Zhang He had already come to the back of the camp, and saw the two military horses commanding archers and crossbowmen respectively, and there was a dead body outside the camp, so he smiled at the two military horses and praised: "Good job, if you make meritorious service this time, I will recommend you two as captains." ”

The two military horses happily clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, General!" ”

Zhang He's eyes scanned the entire battlefield, and saw that the cavalry of the Zhao army was only about 5,000 people, and it was divided into three directions, so he sneered and said to himself: "It's too naΓ―ve, do you think that by doing this, you can break through the camp I have set up?" ”

The two military horses under Zhang He also laughed together, and at the same time arched their hands and said: "General, use a knife to kill chickens, just hand it over to our two brothers, and the general can just watch the battle." ”

Zhang He glanced at the two military horses, and said, "Pan Xiang, He Ning, you two have been following me for a year or two, and you can do what I usually teach you." After the Zhao army suddenly attacked the camp, Han Meng in the city will inevitably go out of the city to respond, and it is Jiang Yiqu who commands the enemy soldiers, this time I will give the two of you a chance to make great contributions, if you kill Jiang Yiqu, I will directly recommend you two as captains in front of the lord! ”

Pan Xiang and He Ning are the generals promoted by Zhang He, both of whom started as soldiers, and were favored by Zhang He because of their bravery. When the two of them heard Zhang He's protection, they said happily: "Don't worry, general, my two brothers will definitely cut off Jiang Yiqu's dog head." ”

Zhang He let out a "hmm" and said slowly: "Jiang Yiqu divided the soldiers and horses into three directions. It seems that you want to wash away the fence of the camp, and you two should know better than me what to do. I'll leave it to the two of you. I went to the front army to command the 10,000 infantry to fight, and compared with Han Meng, Jiang Yiqu, Jiang Qi, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Yi were all ordinary people. ”

Pan Xiang and He Ning said: "Don't worry, general, if our brothers are not victorious, come and see you!" ”

Zhang He smiled cruelly: "No! If you want to win, you must win, and you have to bring Jiang Yiqu's head to see me! ”

Pan Xiang and He Ning both frowned. In unison, they replied, "No! ”

Zhang He glanced at the shape of the battlefield again, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, turned around and rode on horseback. After turning the horse's head, he galloped towards the front camp, and said secretly: "Jiang Yiqu is really mediocre, if you concentrate your forces and rush a little." Maybe you'll have the qualifications to compete with me. Now that the troops are divided to collide, it can be seen that he is not very talented, and it is enough to have Pan Xiang and He Ning to deal with them. ”

With a loud shout of "driving", Zhang He ran away without even looking back.

Pan Xiang and He Ning immediately divided a thousand soldiers, each of five hundred people in a team, scattered on two flanks, and the two of them took the remaining 4,000 crossbowmen and waited for the Zhao cavalry to attack.

"Attention. It's still the same, alternating between near and far. Half man and half horse, if the enemy comes closer, let them taste the power of our army! Pan Xiang shouted loudly.

The whole army replied together: "No! ”

Jiang Yiqu looked at it from a distance, but when he saw that the Yan army began to divide the troops for defense, he raised the spear in his hand and pointed it at the barracks and laughed loudly: "Zhang He is really a mediocre talent, such a person can actually be selected into the Yanyun Eighteen Hussars, it can be seen that the Yan army does not have many generals." Look at it, Lu Kuang asked: "I heard that Zhang He and Han Meng are fellow villagers, and they have studied the art of war together since childhood, so the general should not be careless." ”

"Little Zhang He is so worried, even if Han Meng hadn't followed the old master earlier than me, it would definitely not have been reused. Han Meng is just relying on his superior swordsmanship, a mountain village man knows what the art of war is? Zhang He's kid is nothing more than that, today he will definitely cut off Zhang He's head, give our army prestige, and let Yan Jun know that I, Jiang Yiqu, are no less than Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Meng and others! Jiang Yiqu was boastful.

Lu Xiang didn't speak, and after hearing Jiang Yiqu's words, he asked, "How did the general know that Zhang He was a mediocre talent?" ”

Jiang Yiqu said with a smile: "You see, although the enemy camp is divided into troops for defense, it is a pity that the soldiers assigned to the left and right wings are only 500 people each, how can they resist the 2,000 cavalry of Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi?" ”

Jiang Qi also took a look, looked over, and saw that the distribution of troops in the enemy camp was indeed as Jiang Yiqu said, so he turned his head and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Take the chain armor!" ”

The soldier said "no", ran towards the rear army, took a package from an unmanned horse, and then returned to the front army again, and handed the package to Jiang Qi......

Jiang Qi immediately took off the iron armor he was wearing, took out the family heirloom chain armor from his baggage, put it on his body directly, shook his spirits, and said to Jiang Yi: "General, I'm ready, give the order!" ”

Jiang Qi is wearing a heavy chain armor, the chain armor is made of double iron plates, exposed to the outermost chest is an iron plate about three centimeters thick, the middle and the close iron plate has a distance of space, if the arrow penetrates the first layer of iron plate, the arrow part of the arrow will be blocked in the air layer due to huge resistance, but it cannot penetrate the bottom iron plate he wears closely, and there is a thick layer of cowhide in the middle of the air layer, which is also carefully designed to reduce the power of the arrow. Look, Jiang Yiqu saw Jiang Qi put on the chain armor, and knew that Jiang Qi was ready to fight with his life, he saw that there was no damage in front of the chain armor, so he felt very curious, and asked: "Didn't your chain armor be shot through more than a dozen holes last time, why can't you see a trace?" ”

Jiang Qi said with a smile: "The general doesn't know, my family legend is that the chain iron armor can be moved, and the iron plate in front can be removed at will and replaced with a new ......."

Jiang Yi channel: "Okay, very good, since that's the case, then you will charge first." ”

Jiang Qi said: "No! Please give the general the order! ”

Jiang Yiqu immediately gave an order: "Attack!" ”

At the sound of an order, Jiang Qi held a spear in his hand, wearing heavy chain armor, and with a loud shout of "driving", he took the lead and galloped out. He leaned over his horse, and when he looked from afar, he saw a fast horse rushing towards him. But he couldn't see the people on the horse, and the thousand cavalry led behind him also followed closely, and when he rushed forward, he put out a cone formation that cavalry was accustomed to attacking, and headed towards the Yan army camp...... Look at it, "Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, you two are attacking now!" Jiang Yiqu ordered.

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang made a "promise", and quickly attacked with a thousand cavalry. A second cone-shaped cavalry formation was formed.

After Jiang Yiqu waited for Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to gallop out of a distance with the soldiers, he himself moved his spear forward and rushed forward with the remaining 1,000 cavalry. A third wave of shock formations was formed.

Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi, who were far away on the left and right flanks of the Yan army, saw Jiang Qi rushing forward in the lead, and the two of them also gave an order at the same time, and rushed towards the left and right sides of the Yan army's camp with their own 1,000 cavalry.

Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi were overjoyed when they saw that there were only 500 people who had divided their troops to defend. There was a big smile on everyone's face......

Pan Xiang and He Ning saw that the 5,000 cavalry of the Zhao army were all pressed over. The two of them glanced at each other, a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths, and at the same time ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”

At the sound of the order, the five thousand crossbowmen began to retreat three feet away, and then tightly clasped the arrows in their hands, staring at the incoming enemy with cold eyes.

Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Yi rushed up almost at the same time, and each of them led a thousand cavalry under his subordinates to rush into the Yan army camp from the left, center, and right, and saw that the Yan soldiers retreated without a fight. They all thought that they were frightened by their majestic momentum, and the hearts of all the cavalry were filled with joy.

But. Things are not as simple as Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Yi imagined, when they galloped to a distance of thirty meters from the Yan army camp, before the Yan army soldiers' arrow array, the galloping horses stumbled one after another, and the war horses with heart-rending shouts all fell to the ground, overturning all the cavalry on horseback, and all the horse legs running in front were trapped in a pit that could only accommodate the size of a horse's legs. See, the cavalry was thrown off their horses and rolled on the ground several times, but what they didn't expect was that while they were rolling, they were unconsciously injured, and their arms, thighs, and even faces, which were not covered by their armor, were as painful as if they had been pierced into the flesh by extremely small needles.

The men in front of them flipped on their backs, and the cavalry that rushed quickly behind did not have time to restrain their horses, and rushed towards the horses and cavalry that were blocking the road, causing a group of people to fall off their horses......

Jiang Qi was still rolling on the ground, but every time he rolled, his body that was not covered by the chain armor was like being pierced by ten thousand needles, which made him, a resolute man, grin in pain. He finally stopped, and was about to stand up with his hands on the ground, but he fixed his eyes on the ground lined with long steel nails as thin as needles, and the steel nails were buried by the loess, and at first glance he couldn't notice at all, he felt as if he was lying on the ground composed of 10,000 needles, and his whole body was covered with subtle wounds.

"What the fuck is this......"

Jiang Qi was still scolding, and suddenly heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, he turned his face to the side, and saw dense arrows falling from the air, and before he had time to dodge, several arrows shot into his face, and his eyes, forehead, and mouth were all inserted with arrows, making him unrecognizable...... He screamed in pain, and although he was wearing the family heirloom chain armor, he could not help him avoid the arrows again, and finally lay on the dense steel nail ground and struggled to death.

Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi's two wings were also hit hard, the difference is that what they encountered was not a steel nail, after the pit that trapped the horse's leg overturned some cavalry, the Yan soldiers who had been guarding the camp for a long time pulled up the horse buried under the loess at the same time, and a sharp arrangement of wooden stakes suddenly appeared from the front of the cavalry, and the cavalry who had no time to restrain the horse could only quickly rush into those rejected horses, and even the people and horses were inserted to death.

Fortunately, Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi did not rush too far forward, but first rushed with cavalry, they hid in the middle of the cavalry to command, and the two of them reined in the horses in time and almost crashed into the horses...... The two of them just breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that they were not dead, who knew that the five hundred crossbowmen guarding the barracks had already aimed at them, and one by one they shot crossbow arrows from the repeater crossbows and flew over like locusts, turning the hundreds of cavalry of Zhang Nan and Zhang Yi on their backs.

"Ah......h

Zhang Nan is very smart. Jumping directly from the horse, he hid behind the hill where the corpses were piled up, avoiding the fire of the Yan army's accurate crossbow arrows. He leaned his back against the corpse. The spear in his hand had long since lost his head, and his hands were on his rapidly beating chest, his heart was full of fear, and his eyes were even more frightened......

One by one, the cavalry fell from their horses, and only a few clever people survived, but everyone was terrified.

With an instantaneous change, he rushed towards the three thousand Zhao cavalry on the left, center, and right sides of the Yan army's camp. Immediately fell into nothing, Jiang Qi and Zhang Yi were killed, and Zhang Nan and the remaining more than 100 people were all terrified. My heart was full of fear for Yan Jun.

Seeing this, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang hurriedly reined in their horses, and their faces were even more surprised, they never expected that the Yan army's camp was so tightly defended.

Jiang Yiqu rushed over from behind. I saw a dead body in front of me. He was stunned.

"General, the Yan army camp is very well defended, our army has lost about 4,000 cavalry, but the enemy army is unscathed, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out." Lu Kuang hurriedly said.

Jiang Yiqu didn't think about it, and as soon as he heard Lu Kuang say this, he shouted loudly: "Withdraw!" Evacuate. The Yan army is really terrible, quickly withdraw to the city. ”

Order. Jiang Yiqu turned his horse's head and retreated first, while LΓΌ Kuang and LΓΌ Xiang followed closely, while Zhang Nan, who was hiding on the side, gathered the remnants of the soldiers and left the battlefield under the cover of the corpses, and returned to the West Gate together.

As soon as the crisis of the sneak attack on the military camp here was resolved, Pan Xiang and He Ning were relieved, and when they saw that Zhao Jun was far away, they ordered the soldiers to go out of the camp to clean up the battlefield.

In front of the south gate of Yecheng, Han Meng took the initiative to lower the drawbridge in order to cooperate with the attack of Jiang Yiqu and others, and after opening the city gate, he personally led a thousand soldiers out of the city gate wearing battle armor.

Xu Huang and Pang De led the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry to hide behind the earthen wall, and when they saw the people led by Han Meng coming out, the two of them looked at each other, and they both felt that the soldiers led by Han Meng were strange and abnormal.

At this time, Zhang He rode his horse to the front army, and saw that Xu Huang and Pang De had begun to move slowly, and Han Meng walked over from the suspension bridge with a thousand soldiers holding long wooden stakes, he suddenly felt very curious, and secretly shouted in his heart: "What is Han Meng going to do?" Coming to death with a stake without any sharpness? ”

As he spoke, Zhang He rushed to the front army, rode his horse from the gap in the trench and galloped in front of Xu Huang and Pang De, and said loudly: "Two generals, don't move yet, I have a few words to say with the enemy general Han Meng." ”

The defenders of the entire south gate were under Zhang He's command, Xu Huang and Pang De only led five hundred heavy infantry and five hundred heavy cavalry to help, after hearing Zhang He's words, the two people did not take action, but waited there quietly, watching Han Meng walk from the suspension bridge with neatly arranged soldiers holding oval wooden stakes.

Zhang He rode his horse to the side of the drawbridge, he reined in the horse with a spear in his hand, and saw Han Meng walking towards him with the soldiers, so he arched his hand on the horseback and said, "General Han, don't come unharmed?" ”

Han Meng held an oval-shaped wooden stake, which was thick and long, and without a certain arm strength, it could not be held for a long time. When he saw Zhang He single-handedly appearing in front of the drawbridge, he stopped, erected the wooden stake in his hand on the drawbridge, and raised his left hand at the same time.

Han Meng saw that Zhang He was wearing a steel armor, a steel helmet on his head, tight clothes, a steel knife hanging from his waist, and a steel gun in his hand was also shining, so he hugged his fist slightly and said loudly: "If you don't want to be a dignified man for ten years, I don't want you to be a dignified man......"

The past hit his heart, Zhang He's face loosened a little, but his sharp eyes were always consistent, and he said softly: "What happened back then ......"

"Don't say it anymore, the past is over, the former friends no longer exist at the moment when my parents died, and now you and I are our own masters, and they are still hostile, so we can only compete as generals on both sides." Han Meng directly interrupted Zhang He's words, not wanting Zhang He to recall his memories again.

Zhang He hesitated a little, and said slowly: "Okay then!" I came here to tell you, the Zhao army is gone, the Yan army is in full swing, you are a rare general, and you can't play your true skills with Yuan Shao, Yan Hou has always cherished talents, and only talents move. As long as you are willing to submit to Yanhou, I believe that you will definitely be able to become a one-man general under Yanhou's account, your former ambitions. The dreams of the past may be realized under the tent of Yan Hou. ”

Han Meng snorted coldly, looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "Zhao Hou is not thin on me, when I was poor, it was he who gave me hope, and I Han Meng has no fixed place." Wandering in all directions, he has always slept in the open until he met Zhao Hou. I am no longer wandering, Zhao Hou gave me hope, let me have a family, this kindness. It's not that you can put it down. You and I have known each other since childhood. My character, don't you know? ”

Zhang He said: "Can the friendship between you and me for more than ten years be swept away like this?" Brother Han, do you know that I have been looking for you all these years? ”

"General Zhang, standing in front of you is Han Meng, the general of the Zhao Army, and you have a hostile relationship, you have to find out, after I leave my hometown. I'm no longer the big brother in your mind, I'm Han Meng. It's your enemy! Han Meng lowered his head, looked at Zhang He levelly, and said loudly, "Since God has arranged for us to meet again, you should cherish it, in the past ten years, what you have grown into, I want to experience it today." ”

Zhang He knew Han Meng's character, he saw that Han Meng insisted on this, even if he used ten cows, he couldn't pull it back, he hugged his fist towards Han Meng and said: "Big brother, in the past, there were still many things that the younger brother didn't understand in the art of war, today I will ask the eldest brother for a lesson or two, with a thousand people against a thousand people, our army will dispatch these five hundred infantry and five hundred cavalry, if I can defeat you, how about asking the eldest brother to join me in Yanhou?" ”

Han Meng said: "It's my business whether to take refuge or not, in short, the victory or defeat must be determined today, I want to see if the upper half of the art of war in your hand is powerful, or the lower half of the art of war in my hand is powerful." ”

"Good! Today's battle, let our brothers understand, ten years ago, including the resentment in your heart against my parents, let's find out here today, if you defeat me, I will remove all the encirclement of this south gate. But if I defeat you, I will ask you to open the gates of the city and lead your troops to surrender to my lord, what do you think? Zhang He's face became resolute.

Han Meng had his own plan in his heart, he didn't say anything, just raised his hand slightly, and then waved it down, and the soldiers holding the wooden stakes behind him made a joint brush movement, and the long and thick wooden stakes stood forward.

Seeing that Han Meng didn't answer, Zhang He didn't ask any more questions, turned his horse's head and ran back, and said loudly: "General Xu, General Pang, the two of you will hand over all the infantry and cavalry to me for command, please retreat to the trench temporarily!" ”

Xu Huang and Pang De, the second generals, saw that Zhang He had given them an order, and they could also hear from the words that Zhang He was preparing to have a decisive battle with Han Meng, but when the second general heard that Zhang He was about to take the withdrawal of the siege as a bet, the two of them glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "General Zhang, don't be rash!" ”

Zhang He rode his horse to the camp, and after hearing Xu Huang and Pang De's words, he said: "Needless to say, Zhang He will bear the consequences with all his might, and the two generals have nothing to do with each other." ”

Xu Huang and Pang De were silent when they heard this, and after looking at each other, Xu Huang whispered to Pang De: "Ling Ming, you quickly go to the north gate to inform the lord, inform the lord of the matter here, please make a decision, I am guarding here, in case ...... In short, you go to the north gate, although General Zhang knows a lot about the art of war, but I see that the soldiers brought out by Han Meng this time are quite strange, I have an ominous premonition, this battle, General Zhang may lose, and now the plan can only be stopped if the lord comes in person. ”

Pang De glanced at Han Meng opposite, and then looked at Zhang He, and saw that the eyes of the two people were full of confidence, and even a confident smile appeared on his face, although he knew that Zhang He had the talent of a general, but there was always an exception to everything, in case they lost to Han Meng, then the encirclement they had worked so hard to build would be burned. He nodded heavily, and arched his hand towards Xu Huang: "Gongming is here for a while, and I will go to see the lord!" ”

After saying goodbye to Xu Huang, Pang De turned over and rode away with a loud shout.

At this time, Zhang He's generals Pan Xiang and He Ning galloped over, and the two of them came to Zhang He's side, and said loudly: "General Qiyu, the enemy army has been repulsed, Zhao Junxiao killed Jiang Qi and Zhang Yi under the chaotic arrows, and Jiang Yiqu led Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Nan and the remnants to retreat. ”

Zhang He had a gloomy face and said, "I know, go back and continue to hold the camp, and you must not let go of a single soldier!" ”

Pan Xiang and He Ning said "promise" at the same time, and then rode back.

Zhang He looked at Han Meng and said loudly: "General Han, your army failed to sneak attack the camp, but killed Jiang Qi and Zhang Yi, it seems that your plan to cooperate with Jiang Yiqu to flank our army is no longer possible, I advise you to quickly put down your weapons, open the city gate, and let our army enter the city, which can also avoid many casualties." ”

Han Meng sneered: "It is reasonable for Jiang Yiqu to be defeated by you, although it is good to sneak attack your military camp, it is a pity that the leading general underestimated you too much, if it were me, I am afraid that your camp has already been trampled into ruins by the iron hooves of my Zhao cavalry." I will only use these 1,000 soldiers to fight against you today, so that you can see the true strength of our army. ”

Zhang He was full of confidence, not much to say, with a move of the steel gun in his hand, five hundred heavy infantry and five hundred heavy cavalry gathered together, the heavy infantry blocked in front of Zhang He, and the five hundred heavy cavalry were divided into two groups scattered on the two wings of the heavy infantry, and the horses were not chained together by iron cables, but appeared in the form of a single horse. Rao is like this, a thousand infantry and cavalry dressed in steel armor are mixed together, which can also give the other party a kind of psychological pressure.

Han Meng had fought with the heavy infantry of the Yan army in the Battle of Julu, and his whole body was covered with a layer of steel armor, and the soldiers could not hurt them at all with ordinary blades in their hands, and even the weapons made of steel in the hands of some generals had little effect. After pondering and meditating, he came up with the idea of using a long wooden stake to defeat the enemy, so he immediately gathered a thousand wrestlers and came out to meet the enemy with a thousand stakes that had no sharp effect, which had been dismantled from all over the city.

After Zhang He's troops were deployed, he was ready to use the heavy infantry as the leading force and the heavy cavalry as a cover to completely block Han Meng. What's more, the soldiers brought by Han Meng were all armed with wooden stakes, which made him even more convinced that he would definitely be able to defeat Han Meng. He now seemed to have seen the picture of Han Meng being defeated and then surrendering in Kaesong.

"Forward!" Han Meng looked unusually calm, he was the first to take a step forward, his eyes were always staring at the armor of the opposing soldier, and he also had a little doubt in his heart about his combat method this time.

Zhang He saw Han Meng walking forward step by step with the soldiers, and the neat steps, such as the wooden stakes of the forest, were pressing towards him step by step, and slowly walked to the open space by the suspension bridge. He was still fair, and the lord retreated a little way, giving up the open space by the drawbridge, and separated it from the Zhao army led by Han Meng at a distance, as a place to prepare for the decisive battle.

"The whole army obeys the order, no one can harm the enemy general, you must be captured alive, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Zhang He raised the steel gun in his hand and shouted loudly.

Xu Huang listened on the side, watching Han Meng and Han Meng approach Zhang He's soldiers with neat steps, his whole heart was tugging, he didn't know what this battle would be, but he could feel it, whether it was Zhang He or Han Meng, those two people put all their energy into this battle.

"Attack!" Seeing Han Meng approaching step by step, Zhang He did not hesitate to give an order, loudly ordering the infantry in front of him to attack forward.

Five hundred heavy infantry held shields and steel knives, taking steady steps, and every step forward would make a dull and neat sound of "boom" on the ground, sometimes mixed with the sound of metal clashing, which seemed so sonorous and powerful. (To be continued......)
