Under the leadership of the Chinese army, Dingguo and 50 of his own soldiers were arranged to live in a slightly smaller camp tent near Luo Rucai's military tent.

Lying on the couch, Dingguo repeatedly rehearsed what might happen later in his heart, and for a while he tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time.

In the early morning, the sun rose slowly from the sky, and the sun spread all over the earth, and even the roof of the tent was illuminated in gold. The officers and soldiers guarding the village in Zhujiping rubbed their sleepy eyes and suddenly found that the rebels who came to call for battle today had changed from the west camp to the Cao camp, and the soldiers and soldiers of the department were all dressed in rags and the formation was scattered, which was not as strict as yesterday's west camp at all.

After receiving the report, Zhang Ling personally climbed the wall of the wall to watch, only to see that the Cao Ying rebels were gathering outside the village in groups of three or five, shouting and scolding absentmindedly.

"Hey, God help me! Seeing all kinds of insults yesterday, the town was unmoved, and today they actually replaced the group of thieves with the old, weak, sick and disabled! It's just that this town is going to send troops today, and he was caught off guard! Speaking of this, Zhang Ling couldn't help laughing, and his snow-white beard trembled rhythmically.

The generals on the left and right were already impatient, and immediately asked for battle, but Zhang Ling waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't worry!" The time has not yet come, let all the soldiers continue to stick to the village, and no one is allowed to fight without the military order of the town! ”

After that, Zhang Ling turned straight back to the account, took a nap, and the generals present looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the head town, and they didn't come up with a reason for discussing it for a long time, so they had to disperse.

Let's say that the soldiers of Cao Ying, who shouted under the village for a long time, were already dry-mouthed, but when they saw that the officers and soldiers did not pay attention, they immediately abandoned their knives and guns, hid under the shade of trees, sat on the ground and enjoyed the coolness, and many people even unloaded the saddles of their mounts, allowing the horses to graze at will nearby.

An officer and army general stood on the wall, looked at the Cao Ying soldiers who were playing and playing below, couldn't help but slam his fist on the battlement, and said angrily: "This group of rogues is too unscrupulous!" Don't take our officers and soldiers seriously at all! ”

"I don't know what Ling Shuai thinks, it's really a wretch! What kind of bird war is this? Another general chimed in.

Although there were already many complaints in the army, Zhang Ling turned a deaf ear and slept until noon.

When Zhang Ling woke up and came to the wall to watch again, he happened to catch up with the righteous army's meal, and the man sent lunch over, and the Cao Ying soldiers who were scolding under the village were already hungry, and immediately rushed up to fight for food, and then gathered together in a bunch in the east and west, and ate in a wolf's mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling looked back at the generals beside him, and laughed: "Okay! This is the time! Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to go out of the village with this town and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions? ”

The generals held back in the camp for two days, and when they heard that they were finally going to fight, they immediately lifted their spirits and cheered one after another.

Zhang Ling asked Zhongjun again: Where are Qin Shuai's white pole soldiers? ”

The Chinese army hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "Back to Lingshuai, the 2,000 men and horses of the Shi Yan soldiers are only more than 20 miles away from here!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Ling couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "It's worthy of being a soldier led by his mother-in-law, it's really fucking slow!" ”

"What does Ling Shuai mean, you have to wait for the white pole soldiers?" A general beside him asked.

Zhang Ling snorted lightly and said arrogantly: "No need to wait! The thief is vulnerable, so let's give this merit to our own brothers! ”

The generals all laughed when they heard this, and then shouted in unison: "Ling Shuai is wise!" ”

In order to prevent Qin Liangyu from rushing to compete for the fruits of victory, Zhang Ling quickly conveyed the military order, with 1,000 people staying in the camp, and the remaining 3,000 soldiers were personally led by him to fight in the village.

With the rumbling drums sounded, the shouts in the official army camp shook the sky, and then I saw the gate of the village wide open, and Zhang Ling led 3,000 men and horses out of the village.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!" Seeing this, a Cao Ying soldier in charge of guarding hurriedly raised his throat and shouted a warning.

Before he could shout a second time, the official cavalry had already killed him in front of him and slashed him to the ground with a single sword.

In the face of the sudden attack of the officers and soldiers, the soldiers of Cao Ying, who were still eating, were a little caught off guard, and before they could get in shape, they fought with the officers and soldiers.

Under Zhang Ling's fierce offensive, the soldiers of the Cao battalion gradually lost their support, retreated in embarrassment, and retreated three miles in a row, only then did they join forces with the main force of the Cao battalion who rushed to meet them, re-occupy the favorable terrain, and stabilize their positions.

Seeing Cao Cao's Daxu on the hill from afar, Zhang Ling was overjoyed, turned back to the officers and soldiers behind him and shouted: "Brothers! Those who capture thieves alive will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! ”

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and all the officers and soldiers are inspired by this, all of them are brave, and everyone rushes to the top of the mountain as if they don't want to die.

Seeing that the official army was unstoppable, Luo Rucai hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to be condescending, and violently released arrows at the attacking officers and soldiers, and the official cavalry that rushed to the front fell off their horses one after another.

After several successive attacks failed to capture the mountain, Zhang Ling stationed at his horse to observe the surrounding terrain and immediately ordered the whole army to immediately seize a small hill on the opposite side.

Under the cover of shields, the officers and men braved the rain of arrows from the opposite hill to climb to the top of the mountain. With Zhang Ling's order, the officers and soldiers also began to release arrows to the opposite side, and the two sides shot at each other across the mountain, and from time to time someone fell to the ground with an arrow, but soon someone stepped forward to fill the gap.

Zhang Ling is known as a crossbow general, with a bow in his hand, almost 100 shots within 150 steps, plus his more than 100 family members are also skilled in archery, Cao Ying's righteous army gradually fell into the upper hand in the shooting, and was suppressed by the official army, and countless people fell to the ground with arrows, almost as long as they showed their heads, they would be shot by the official army.

The arrows of the officers and soldiers were like locusts, and everywhere were lying on the ground, and the wails of the soldiers of the righteous army who were injured by the arrows, Luo Rucai was a little unable to resist, so he had to abandon the mountain and flee backwards again.

"Catch up with the town! Don't let Luo Rucai go! Seeing Luo Rucai fleeing, Zhang Ling hurriedly urged the soldiers and horses to continue the pursuit.

"Ling Shuai, don't chase the so-called poor! So far, the soldiers and horses of the Western Camp who sacrificed the thieves have never been seen, and the last general is worried that there must be a reason for it! One of the generals shouted behind him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling was already red-eyed, and said disdainfully: "A mere thief is a bird!" If you dare to come, this town will just clean up with him! Save yourself and have to look for it separately later! ”

Luo Rucai was fiercely pursued by Zhang Ling, and retreated three miles back into a pre-built camp.

After a while, Zhang Ling also led the army to arrive, and saw that the banner of the Cao Ying Righteous Army on the opposite wall was neat and well-guarded, which was completely different from the appearance of the Cao Ying soldiers outside the Zhuyiping camp just now, and never saw Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses in the West Camp appear, Zhang Ling finally recovered his reason from the fanaticism, and in order to be safe, he immediately ordered: "The whole army stops advancing!" Stay on guard! ”

Running all the way to this point, Luo Rucai gasped, leaned on the top of the battlement and looked down, and saw that the official army had stopped the offensive, so he turned his head and commanded to Dingguo beside him: "Ning Yuxian's nephew, the snake has come out of the hole, this time it's your turn!" ”

Dingguo nodded at Luo Rucai, put on a scarlet brocade robe outside the battle armor, and then walked quickly down the wall, turned over the "two buckets of gold", ordered to open the gate of the village, and walked straight to the direction of the official camp.

It was only when he walked to a place less than half a mile away from the enemy formation that Dingguo stopped his horse, raised his horsewhip high in his right hand, and shouted loudly in the direction of the official camp: "Where is the old general Zhang Ling?" Ask General Zhang to come to the front and speak! ”

Zhang Ling was stationed in front of the army, and was about to collect the troops and return to the camp, when he suddenly saw the door of the righteous army open widely, and a handsome young man with a handsome appearance riding a jujube red war horse walked out of it, and he was wondering in his heart, and suddenly heard the other party call to see him, Zhang Ling couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart, could it be that Luo Rucai was defeated and retreated again and again, couldn't resist, and wanted to raise the flag and surrender?

Just when Zhang Ling was pondering, Dingguo shouted again: "Where is the old general Zhang Ling, the crossbow general?" I have something important to tell you below! ”

Seeing that Dingguo was just alone, Zhang Ling thought to himself that he could still be afraid of this doll? Immediately no longer hesitated, clamped the horse's belly, slowly came out of the battle, and came in the direction of Dingguo.

"The hosts! Beware of thieves and deceptions! Someone in the family reminded him loudly.

Zhang Ling didn't stop after hearing this, but raised the horsewhip held in his right hand slightly, sneered with his nostrils, and said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, what can a hairy boy do to me?" Go to the town and go back. ”

When Dingguo saw Zhang Ling coming out of the ranks, he also smiled and greeted him slowly, and the two of them were less than a hundred steps apart, and stopped at the same time.

Zhang Ling, relying on his experience in a hundred battles and heavy armor to protect his body, immediately looked at Dingguo and asked arrogantly: "Doll, why do you want to see this town?" ”

Dingguo immediately bowed to Zhang Ling, and said respectfully: "I often hear people talk about the prestige of the crossbow general Zhang, and it is a blessing to see it today!" ”

"Don't say anything about flattery, this town is too lazy to listen! You said that it was your Cao Ying who couldn't stand the beating and sent him to beg for surrender? Zhang Ling triumphantly stroked his white beard.

Dingguo spoke unhurriedly, but one hand quietly touched the short crossbow hanging on the saddle, and used the corner of his eye to see the location of Zhang Ling's throat.

Zhang Ling didn't notice the strangeness of Dingguo, gently stroked his snow-white beard, and said with a majestic face: "Don't talk nonsense, wait for the world to be chaotic, resist the heavenly soldiers, and the sin will not be forgiven!" However, this town sees that you are young, presumably just misguided, if you are willing to surrender today, this town can avoid your death, and stay in the army before the effect, in order to atone for the previous sins! ”

Who knew that after Dingguo heard this, he suddenly showed a strange smile: "I heard that the old general is good at shooting, today the class has an axe, respect the old general with an arrow, and hope to beg for a smile!" ”

After all, Zhang Ling is old, his ears are not very bright, and he couldn't hear what Dingguo said very clearly for a while, just waiting for him to come back to his senses, but he saw that Dingguo had quickly grabbed the short crossbow hanging on the saddle, and in a moment, the arrow had left the string, and it hit Zhang Ling's throat, Zhang Ling didn't have time to say a word, and fell off the horse and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Master!" Seeing that Zhang Ling's arrow fell from his horse, all of them stepped forward to rescue, and dozens of others raised their bows and crossbows almost at the same time and fired arrows towards Dingguo.

Dingguo took a step forward to confirm that Zhang Ling was dead, so he quickly turned the horse's head, dodged the arrows, and then grabbed the reins with one hand, raised the short crossbow with the other, and "swished" back three arrows towards the three family members who rushed to the front, and the three fell off their horses one after another.

At the same time as Zhang Ling was hit by the arrow, the fifty Xiying soldiers brought by Dingguo also rushed out of the gate like a lightning bolt, and in the blink of an eye, they converged with Dingguo.

"Brothers, Zhang Ling is dead, follow me to kill the enemy!" Dingguo threw the scarlet robe draped outside into the air, revealing the armor inside, and then reached out to take the plum blossom gun thrown by his own soldiers, reined in his horse and turned back, and led the soldiers to kill in the direction of the official army.

At this moment, a trumpet cannon sounded in the camp of the righteous army, and the war drums rumbled, it turned out that it was Cao Cao Luo Ru who saw that the plan was successful, and he was afraid that the country would be lost, and it was difficult to explain to Zhang Xianzhong, so he personally led the army to rush out and kill it.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Xianzhong, who was ambushed in the deep valley and dense forest, heard the sound of trumpets and war drums, and also led the Xiying men and horses to shout and kill from the left and right.

For a time, there were swords and swords everywhere, and the horse's hooves were galloping, and under the fierce attack of the righteous army, Zhang Ling's family gradually couldn't resist, so they had to leave the body of their master, follow the scattered officers and soldiers, and fled for their lives.

On the battlefield where Zhang Ling showed off his martial arts just now, it instantly became a Shura field where the rebels pursued and killed the official army.
