Chapter 1853: The Battle of Shouchun (134)
Cocooned himself, maybe even Ji Ling didn't expect that the city tower at the north gate of Lujiang City, which was supposed to barrage the river and build a dam to flood the Xuzhou army, collapsed inexplicably.
There was a loud bang, which frightened the defenders of Lujiang and drowned the defenders of the city tower, but whether it was Liu Xun or Ji Ling, they still couldn't figure out what was going on, and even Zhang Jaw and others who heard the news looked at the Lujiang city wall after the collapse and destruction.
But when they learned from the scout that the ground had sunken, Zhang Liao and the three of them looked at each other together, as if they instantly understood what was going on, because under the city wall was the tunnel they had dug, although it was destroyed and finally fell short, but their efforts were completed for them because of the heavy rain in the past few days.
Of course, this is just the speculation of the three of them, but in addition, they can't figure out why it was just the collapse of the city wall where they dug the tunnel, looking at the scene in front of them, Zhang Jaw and several people hurriedly turned over and mounted their horses, and summoned the Xuzhou army to kill Lujiang City, Tai Shici finally had a smile on his face, and Liu Xun and Ji Ling, who rushed to hear the news, commanded the troops to defend the alliance, and they must not let the Xuzhou army attack the city from the collapsed city wall.
Soon, the earth began to tremble, Ji Ling's eyes widened, his pupils continued to dilate, he saw that the Xuzhou army was killing at a rapid speed over the collapsed city tower, and the black line in the distance was moving forward rapidly, at this moment his heart had sunk to the bottom, it was over, everything was over, he had hoped to flood the Xuzhou army, and then before everything was ready, such a scene happened, not only lost the hope of turning defeat into victory, but also made them lose the possibility of continuing to protect the Lujiang River.
The Xuzhou army can directly enter the Lujiang River from the collapse here, even if they resist now, it is meaningless, it is impossible to stop the Xuzhou army at all, it is better to find a way to escape as soon as possible than to resist now, he glanced at Liu Xun: "Withdraw, don't hesitate at all, whether you can escape now depends on luck." ”
"But where else can we retreat?"
"To the north, go to Shouchun!"
"Shouchun?" Liu Xun looked at Liu Lan in disbelief, isn't this asking for hardship, when the time comes, lead the Xuzhou army over, and Yuan Shu will not bypass us either.
"Then go to Xuzhou!" Ji Ling was too lazy to say: "Remember, no matter what happens, as long as you go all the way north, whether you go to Shouchun or Xuzhou, it will be completely safe." ”
"Okay." He seemed to understand Ji Ling's intentions a little, although doing so was more like betraying Yuan Shu, after all, as long as they could go all the way to the north, then as long as they could pass Shouchun, would the Xuzhou army continue to pursue them or choose to go to Shouchun? As long as the Xuzhou army chooses to go to Shouchun, then they will be saved.
Of course, the Xuzhou army may keep chasing and go to Shouchun after annihilating their entire army, but since it is a gamble, it is natural to try even if there is only a glimmer of hope.
"You lead the troops to leave, and I will gather the people of the headquarters and cut off the rear in person!" Ji Ling said and led the headquarters to block the collapsed city tower, at this time, if even he chose to escape, then it would instantly evolve into a big escape, but the two of them were one after the other, it was different, at least they would not be directly killed by the Xuzhou army, and they could evacuate relatively smoothly.
After Shou Chunjun accepted the order, he began to evacuate under the leadership of Liu Xun, while Ji Ling quickly gathered his headquarters to block the enemy.
"Kill!" The Xuzhou army killed it, shouting and killing it, Ji Ling guarded before the collapsed city wall, faced the Xuzhou army that killed it, and instantly greeted it, and the two sides broke out a fierce battle at the collapsed place, swords and swords, guns and axes, extremely tragic.
Zhang Liao led the headquarters to kill quickly, and at a glance he saw Ji Ling, who blocked the Xuzhou army in front of the city wall, only to see him kill left and right, and killed more than ten Xuzhou troops in a blink of an eye, making it difficult for the Xuzhou army to advance, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately waved the Tiange and killed Ji Ling.
The two of them know each other, but it is the first time they have fought each other, in Ji Ling's eyes, he and Zhang Fei have fought each other, although they are invincible, but they can barely fight with him for dozens of rounds, and Zhang Liao can not be compared with Zhang Fei in Xuzhou, so compared to him, it is either a tie or a little worse than him, it is with such an idea that makes him boldly face Zhang Liao, just after a confrontation, he is afraid, this round, his three-pointed two-edged knife and Zhang Liao broke the sky and collided together, gold and iron resonated, However, the tiger's mouth where he held the blade had a tendency to tear, this was only a situation that appeared when he fought with Zhang Fei, how could it appear in a duel with Zhang Liao, could it be that this Zhang Liao actually had the same ability to break the sky as Zhang Fei?
Ji Ling didn't believe it, what kind of world was this, how could so many masters emerge all at once? Also, there is a person under Liu Lan's account who is a master? He didn't know this Zhang Liao, he used to be under Lu Bu's account, although he was also one of the eight strong generals, but he couldn't even rank in the name, the Warcraft was compared with Gao Shun, even if Wei Xu and others were ranked in front of him, how could he have such courage?
Fighting with him before, he was surprised that Zhang Liao under Lu Bu's account was so terrifying, at that time he was secretly suspicious, more because he felt that he was not reused under Lu Bu's account, such a brave general, should have been famous, but he was unknown in Lu Bu's army, but now it is completely different, he used to think that Zhang Liao was the kind of general who dared to fight and dare to rush to life and death when fighting, but his own ability was not ranked among the eight strong generals, so he fought bravely in time, but he was always unknown, It's because he doesn't have much personal ability.
But now he found that Zhang Liao was not only brave in battle, but also superior in martial arts, not much worse than Zhang Fei, but Lu Bu has not reused such talents, it is simply incompetent, if he used to think that Liu Lan reused Zhang Liao, who was a strong general, and ignored others, he also felt that it was because Zhang Liao knew how to deal with the world better, so that he could get this high position in Liu Lan's account, but now it seems that this is not the case, Liu Lan just used real talents, and those who are confused have not been reused by him so far.
In an instant, I saw Zhang Liao dancing to break Tiange and kill him again, and Breaking Tiange was like a long rainbow that instantly fell towards him, this speed has made many Shou Chunjun around him stunned, and he naturally didn't dare to slack off, but he also knew in his heart that he wouldn't be too comfortable if he took this blow, and sure enough, the chance of receiving his blow was like a river and a sea in his abdomen, and his throat was even sweeter, and a mouthful of blood arrows spurted out.
This blow made him miserable, if he continued to fight with him, then let alone leave safely today, he was afraid of death and didn't know how to die, the odds were quickly calculated in his heart, and the next moment he directly turned the horse's head and retreated backwards, if he could still delay and block the Xuzhou army in order to take care of the overall situation, then now he has made up his mind now, and it is the top priority that he can leave safely, otherwise he will die, Liu Xun will leave safely, it will be too worthless.
For a martial artist like Ji Ling, whether it is worth it or not depends on who he is right against, if it is Yuan Shu who is evacuated now, then he will die in a battle without regrets, but if it is someone else, then he will not care so much, in other words, if everything goes well here, then he will also be selfless, but now it is clear that if he continues to delay, the whole army will be wiped out, and if he stays, he will be a fool.
Ji Ling retreated, and the Xuzhou army successfully attacked Lujiang City, but they and Zhang Liao ignored Ji Ling, and even watched them leave, while they began to attack the important places where Lujiang City began, and the primary purpose was the county guard of Lujiang and the other three gates.
A very important reason why Zhang Liao is so confident is that they now have three generals, Zhang Jaw and Tai Shici, and he is attacking head-on, and the other two have already gone to intercept their back road, which is what they said before they came to attack the city, the Lujiang city wall collapsed, and the defenders did not have the protection of the city tower, they would definitely not continue to defend the Lujiang River, and they would definitely flee, if we attack the city now, the Lujiang defenders will inevitably flee safely, but if we attack the city at this time and take a detour to cut off their retreat, it is to catch turtles in the urn, The defenders of Lujiang could not escape.
Zhang Liao led the troops to begin to clean up the defenders in Lujiang City, and killed all the soldiers who resisted stubbornly, and arrived violently at the beginning, but when they got to the back, all the Lujiang defenders they encountered chose to surrender, and no one dared to resist anymore, Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to take them all down, temporarily detained in the school yard in the city, and the others continued to know that the resistance forces in the city were useless for even an hour, and the city was completely pacified.
"Big brother, you stay with the headquarters, and the rest of the people will continue to pursue with me!" Zhang Liao said to Zhang.
"Wen Yuan, what's the point of chasing it now?"
"Don't worry, such a big piece of fat, it is impossible for Zhang Jaw and Tai Shi Ci to swallow it at once, although it seems that they have fled away now, in fact, otherwise, they should have been intercepted by Zhang Jaw now, I will rush over now, and I can still guard the tail."
"Okay, then you have to be careful."
"Don't worry." Zhang Liao smiled calmly and said.
Fighting with him before, he was surprised that Zhang Liao under Lu Bu's account was so terrifying, at that time he was secretly suspicious, more because he felt that he was not reused under Lu Bu's account, such a brave general, should have been famous, but he was unknown in Lu Bu's army, but now it is completely different, he used to think that Zhang Liao was the kind of general who dared to fight and dare to rush to life and death when fighting, but his own ability was not ranked among the eight strong generals, so he fought bravely in time, but he was always unknown, It's because he doesn't have much personal ability.

"Okay, then you have to be careful."
"Don't worry." Zhang Liao smiled calmly and said.
