In the Southern Han Kingdom, the Zhou army had advanced to Shaozhou.

Cao Bin mobilized the advance of the Jiangnan battalion and took the nearest road to Xingwangfu (Panyu) to try to enter the border of the Southern Han Dynasty, but after several rounds of shelling, he easily took Xiongzhou on the border between the Southern Tang Kingdom and the Southern Han Kingdom.

So Prime Minister Li Gu came to the south of the Yangtze River, controlled the transportation of various states, and sent a large number of grain and grass resources to Xiongzhou. Cao Bin ran the defense in Xiongzhou, and used it as a base camp, concentrating more than 90,000 troops and a large number of military supplies here, preparing to attack Shaozhou head-on.

Shaozhou, the gateway to the Southern Han Dynasty. As long as you occupy this place, you can drive straight along the river and approach the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Lu Duan, who accompanied Qianniu, suggested that Cao Bin's troops divide into two routes and contain and divide the Southern Han reinforcements from the west road. Cao Bin believed that this person did not know soldiers and his official position was low, so he did not accept it, and insisted on concentrating his forces to attack from the front.

However, Cao Bin shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and was very attentive to everything, from the forward scouts to the rear army's baggage, they were all carefully and properly deployed. It was also strictly forbidden for generals to plunder, and there were no mistakes after leaving the division.

South of the South Ridge is underdeveloped, the jungle is dense, and there are often aborigines with hair combed like an awl; The generals were ordered to prevent the soldiers from provoking those people. However, the natives did not dare to provoke the stubborn army, but Shaozhou gathered a large number of enemy troops and was moving north.

…… The Chinese army wanted to climb over a mountain range in front of it and build a forward camp and fortress in the south, and Yu Liang's Kaifeng commander was one of the first men and horses to be ordered to climb the mountain.

The group went south along Zhenshui, and the previous scouts did not find a large number of enemy soldiers; The Zhou army, on the other hand, marched in groups from both sides of the river, and the many people were bold, and the people had no fear.

Still, the crowd was a little dull. The men and horses commanded by Kaifeng on the east coast were all from the Central Plains, and they were not very adaptable to the climate, and it was early autumn, but the weather was still hot.

Yu Liang's face was pale, and he was sweating profusely, and sweat was dripping down from the brim of his helmet. He was not comfortable all over, Congwu's bite was not so delicious, he had walked thousands of miles in the past few months, he had suffered enough, and he had a tan. In the past few days, he felt unwell, he always felt that his body was weak, and his head was a little hot, but he endured it and didn't say anything.

He looked at the Zhang brothers in the same township, but saw that they said that they were very good. Those hard-working croppers, don't look at them when they first joined the army, they were very thin, but they can endure hardships and be obedient, as long as they are full, walking every day is not a thing!

Yu Liang couldn't stand the heat anymore, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and the river sparkled in the sun. Yu conscience scolded in his heart: He|mother|, what kind of wild place is this!

Finally, I couldn't help but leave the queue, ran to the river, grabbed a handful of water and poured it on my face, and suddenly felt a pleasant coolness! Yu Liang hurriedly took another handful of water and drank it, raised his head and sighed, he simply buried his head, put his whole face into the cool river water and soaked it, and then wiped it on his face.

At this moment, Yu Liang found a blood stain on his palm, and was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he felt the numbness on his face with a hint of itching, he reached out and touched the soft and slippery thing, and hurriedly pinched and dragged it out, but it was very slippery and didn't pull it out!

"! What the hell! Yu Liang shouted in horror.

When his subordinates heard the news, they all stared at his face. Yu Liang said: "What? What......"

More than 30 people suddenly became noisy, and even other teams looked sideways. Someone said: "Yu Shijiang is not in a hurry, this is a leech, it's not a big deal." ”

"! This thing is drilling into the flesh, how do you get it out! Yu Liang's voice changed. It doesn't hurt to drill people with this thing, but it's mad to drill into the flesh of your face just thinking about it!

The man just now said: "You have to use wine, and it will come out as soon as it is pickled." ”

Where does the wine come from at this time? The man shouted, "It's okay to urinate." ”

As soon as he said that, he untied his belt and took out an ugly thing, although Yu Liang was scared, but he was unwilling to ask someone to pee on his face. Everyone took out the iron cup he was eating from all hands and feet, and peed on the rice bowl!

Then without saying anything, it splashed on Yu Liang's face.

"Mother's ......" Yu Liang almost cried, and he didn't see who splashed it. There are some seeps in the corners of the mouth, and the taste is really indescribable...... It was already like this, and he had to ask, "Did you get it out?" ”

Everyone stared and shook their heads. Just now, the man said again: "Shoot, slap with the palm of your hand!" ”

Yu Liang finally saw that guy clearly, it was the San Lang of the Zhang family, and immediately scolded: "Zhang San, you dog is pouring urine on my face!" In vain, Lao Tzu kindly brought you out of the poor mountain village......"

Zhang San said with an innocent face: "I ...... I am also anxious for Yu Shijiang. ”

"Get that thing out of here, your life counts." There is humanity.

A fire chief next to him slapped Yu Liang's face "...... paddle", as if he was slapping him. The beating made half of Yu Liang's face almost swollen.

Yu Liang: "Fuck you|mother!" ”

"It's out! It's out! Everyone said happily.

Yu Liang was stunned there, his face was still swollen. Then he waited for Zhang San to look at him angrily, and Zhang San said, "I ...... I'm in a hurry, I didn't mean to! ”

Yu Liang looked down and saw a black and soft thing, raised his foot and stomped on it. Zhang San said again: "You can't step on it, you have to marinate it in urine!" ”

"I'll pickle your old lady!" Yu Liang pointed at Zhang San's nose and scolded.

At this moment, suddenly a shout came from the front: "Prepare for war!" Then the gongs and drums rang out.

Yu Liang was also taken aback, and quickly looked up and looked back. Someone said, "It's over there." Yu Liang waved his hand and led a group of people to quickly move closer to a flag.

Yu Liang's people were in the last row, and more than 100 people hurriedly lined up in three long rows according to the usual training. At this moment, a herald on horseback came and pointed ahead, saying, "All the men and horses are coming that way!" ”

The whole group followed the head of the horse and ran forward in procession.

After a while, another herald arrived, shouting, "Command the order!" The first to the third capital are arranged on the spot; The first capital leads the three capitals, and if he dies in battle, he will replace the leader in order! ”

Under the order of the head of the capital, everyone formed a phalanx with their backs against Zhenshui.

"Mu ......" A long howl came from the forest, like the cry of an elephant. There are strange screams mixed with people...... The enemy forces are already very close, no wonder the commander wants everyone to set up on the spot!

Yu Liang wiped his face with a handkerchief and pulled out the saber from his waist. The one with the crossbow had already been wound, and the one with the firearm was still busy loading.

Everyone followed the sound and looked ahead. Yu Liang also looked over, but he couldn't see anything, it was all trees, the trees were not only tall, but the branches and leaves were quite luxuriant, and there were only sparse mottled spots on the ground where the sunlight spilled in from between the leaves.

The head of the capital shouted: "Military law, those who retreat before the battle will be killed!" Stabilize the formation, don't panic, if you run on the battle formation, you will die faster! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion, and a black shadow of a horse appeared in the forest, and the horse's hooves were silent when they stepped on the weeds and accumulated leaves. Yu Liang's eyes widened, and even his breathing almost stopped, and everyone was also very nervous.

The vanguard of the Jiangnan battalion fought a battle in Xiongzhou, and the experience of Yu Liang and others in that battle was: they heard the sound of cannons like thunder from a distance, and then they heard that Xiongzhou was occupied!

In fact, the soldiers present have basically never fought except for the generals above the capital head!

The shadows of the centaurs were getting closer and closer, and they were speeding between the trees. There are also horses in the Southern Han Kingdom, and they are especially adapted to the mountains and forests!

The head of the capital shouted, "Steady! Listen to military orders! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of "pop pop ......", and the row of crossbowmen in front of them released arrows one after another! Arrows whizzed in the forest, and many crossbow bolts were inserted into the trunks of trees.

"Mother's ......" There was a loud scolding in front of him.

Immediately after that, there were cries and shouts in the woods, and the horses rushed towards them! Everyone can't understand the dialect of the Southern Han Kingdom, and the accent here is particularly difficult to understand, and the pronunciation is different!

A drum sounded, the military flag in front of him waved, and the military general shouted: "Change!" ”

The crossbowmen in the first row of Pontus were changed to the third row, and then they were in a hurry to draw the crossbow and wind it, Yu Liang saw the man on the side, sitting on the ground, staring at the crossbow with his feet, and pulling the string several times without pulling it open, the guy's hands were shaking.

The fierce horsemen had already rushed under their noses, and the row that had just changed to the front did not wait for the order to release their crossbows, and for a time people turned on their backs, screaming and neighing in the forest.

The rest of the horsemen galloped in. Yu Liang heard the head of the capital shouting: "Draw your sword, kill!" ”

After a while, a loud clinking sound and the screams of people were heard, and the front was in a fight, and the queue of the Zhou army was suddenly chaotic. There was a group of men and horses behind him who immediately picked up their spears and lined up.

Yu Liang was holding a single knife in his hand, and he was squeezed in the middle by the rebels, and he didn't know what to do with the chaos around him.

At this time, I saw a large number of infantry roaring and running towards this side, holding swords, guns and clubs in their hands, and some of them were actually wearing hair like savages! Don't swoop in on it!

The rebels of the Zhou army were very stupid, and they fought for a while with their armor, and then they were killed in all directions. Then the 100-person gun array behind was also chaotic, and everyone dispersed in a hurry. There were still people shouting: "Run, run......"

Yu Liang didn't understand what was going on, so he ran away with everyone. He saw a queue of Zhou Jun's accomplices on the opposite bank, and he was about to run to the river in a panic, but he saw a soldier being chased down the river, and his head was washed twice on the water surface and then sank like a big rock! Most of these northern soldiers don't know water, and they can't do it, and no one can swim with a four-piece iron armor of at least more than 30 catties.

Seeing this, he hurried north, and ran into the woods. As he ran, he heard someone say: "Third child, throw away your weapon and run!" When he looked back, the two brothers of the Zhang family were also running away desperately after him.

Yu Liang gasped for breath, his mind blank.
