Looking at the thicker and thicker crossbowmen on the side of the fence, Ji Ling sighed: "It's too late, Liu Bei's crossbowmen have always been famous for their arrows like rain, three-stage, fifth-stage, and ten-stage levels, Cao Mengde had suffered his big loss at the beginning, and now relying on this small army at the city gate to attack first, it is equivalent to sending him to death, and he can only wait for the big army to come out and fight again." ”

At that moment, time seemed to be slipping away extremely slowly, Ji Ling sorted out the formations of the teams, arranged the sharp assault formations, and all the movements became slow motion in his eyes, and the pictures were vivid.

"It's finally over, let's get started." Ji Ling waved his long knife in despair and began the death charge.

"Rush!" Yuan Jun shouted and began to run slowly.

"Rush!" Yuan Jun shouted and quickened his pace.

At the side of the fence, the soldiers of Liu Jun were not flustered, and the lieutenants stood in the right hand of the columns, facing the crossbowmen who were waiting with their bows and calmly raised their sabers, and their voices were not flustered at all: "The first row listens to orders, prepares, and shoots." ”

The soldiers in the first row crouched down, and the crossbowmen in the second row stood up again, and then shot out. Columns of crossbowmen were like undulating waves, forming rows of human waves, ferociously pouring arrow feathers outward.

At this time, the soldiers of the Yuan army realized the true meaning of the word continuous, the best annotation is the scene when Liu Bei's army shoots, the number of arrows shot each time is not much, but the arrow feathers continue to fall, countless soldiers fell under the arrow feathers, stepped over the moaning wounded soldiers, only to take two steps, another round of arrow feathers poured down, those soldiers fell again, a corpse paved a carpet of flesh and blood, layer upon layer from near the city gate to the front of the camp, this is a bloody road, The slightly muddy ground was not the black of the earth, but the color of bright red blood.

In the camp, watching the soldiers of the Yuan army hesitantly trekking towards their camp under the watering of arrow feathers, Liu Bei said sadly: "A group of farmers who have just put down their hoes, how can Yuan Shu bear to drive them to the battlefield?" Hurry up, the light cavalry will be dispatched, kill the general of the rear war, and if possible, take the opportunity to occupy the city gate", Liu Bei covered his face and added: "Zilong, go and end this massacre." ”

Zhao Yun turned around and wanted to leave, but Lu Su waved his hand to stop him: "Lord, the road is muddy after the rain, and the cavalry is not easy to dispatch, so it is better to let the front of the village hold on for a while, wait for the noon to be drier, and then send the cavalry to attack." ”

Liu Bei pointed to the horse's hooves of the cavalry and said: "Zijing, you forgot that our cavalry nailed a heavy nail horseshoe before setting off, which was originally a farrier used by horses when plowing in the field, compared to the field, what is this mud?" As long as the heavy cavalry does not move, the archers and assault cavalry are fully capable of fighting in this environment. ”

Lu Su nodded, took a step back, and stood back in the queue, Zhao Yun saw that there was nothing to do, whistled, and rode away. Chen Zhi bowed to Liu Bei, drew a spear, and rode away with a bow.

Liu Bei's camp sent out a burst of war drums, two flags rushed to the top of the two flagpoles, a red flag embroidered with a white horse, this is Zhao Yun's flag - Zhao Yun thanked Liu Bei for giving him a white horse, and when making the family crest, he used the white horse as the emblem. Another flag is embroidered with a whale, Chen to the beginning of Liu Bei's return, Liu Bei had purchased a whale, which marks the birth of Qingzhou's whaling industry, in order to commemorate his defection to Liu Bei, Chen Zhi specially selected the protagonist of this major event writer emblem.

The slaughter in front of the fence continued, and under the urging of the generals, Yuan Jun moved slowly, and attacked the fence one after another.

Immediately after, two cavalry teams suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

The cavalry led by Zhao Yun, with a distinct personal color, did not say a word, ghostly bypassed the hard-fought Yuan army soldiers, and went straight to the gate of Shouchun City. Yuan Shu, who was so panicked that he was watching the battle from the city tower, hurriedly ordered to send arrows to block the attack, and at the same time urgently closed the city gate. Zhao Yun saw that he couldn't do anything, so he turned over and fought from behind Yuan Jun into the battle.

Zhao Yun has been in battle for a long time, and his eyes are quick and he is quick to bypass the enemy formation and attack the city gate first. Chen had no experience in the initial formation, so he took a step slower, and when he saw Zhao Yun leaving, he immediately made a loud noise in tacit understanding, ran around Ji Ling's formation, attacked with bows and arrows, and contained Ji Ling. When Zhao Yun returned, Chen Zhi shouted, the archers collected their bows and drew their swords, and cut off a corner of Ji Ling's formation obliquely, and after cleaning up those remnants, he turned around and cut another corner, turning around Ji Ling's formation quickly.

Liu Bei was on the command tower in the camp, observed this scene, and nodded with satisfaction - no wonder, in the deduction, it was said: Liu Bei's male and female double-strand swords, one is Zhao Yun, the other is Chen Dao, the power of these two swords is really extraordinary. If not, Chen Zhi's descendants have produced a shameless literati like Chen Shou, and it is estimated that Chen Zhi's reputation should be on par with Zhao Yun.

When Chen Shou wrote the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, he talked about his parents out of the habit of national culture, and other historians and writers, including Luo Guanzhong, despised Chen Shou's personality and simply ignored Chen Zhi, so this famous general who was famous in the Three Kingdoms era was actually covered by the smoke and clouds of history.

Zhao Yun entered the enemy formation, rushed left and right, and was invincible, and after a while, he found Ji Ling who was hiding left and right, and then jumped on his horse and ran all the way.

Ji Ling originally planned to hide again, but when he saw that the general was actually a small young man, he immediately rushed towards Zhao Yun with a hundred times more courage. It seems that this has become his last bit of courage in the world, and Zhao Yun stabbed Ji Ling under the horse.

As soon as Ji Ling died, the attack of the Yuan army completely collapsed, and many soldiers turned their heads and ran towards the city gate, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi did not stop them, and followed them from afar. At the head of the city, Yuan Shu did not dare to open the city gate when he saw this scene, and he had no choice but to surrender under the eyes of Yuan Shu.

In the battle, Yuan Shubing lost more than 4,000 people, wounded more than 11,000 people, surrendered more than 30,000 people, and only a few soldiers who were unwilling to surrender and could not return to the city fled.

Ji Ling was selfish, when he went out of the city, all the elite soldiers in the city were gathered, Yuan Shu had a total of 200,000 troops, most of which were composed of forced farmers to enlist in the army and train, Ji Ling collected all the veterans who had combat experience in the city, except for the 10,000 pseudo-Yulin troops around Yuan Shu, now, almost all the people defending the city in the city are old and weak soldiers, as well as recruits with no combat experience.

Under Liu Bei's threat, Yuan Shu only knew that he wantonly recruited farmers to join the army and expand the army, and the cultivation in the fields was basically deserted, and there was not much surplus grain in the city. After Liu Bei obtained the surrender, he immediately organized them into the team and strictly blocked the four gates, and since then, Shouchun City has become a city of hunger and weakness.

After the war, Liu Bei received information from Chen Deng in the camp that Tao Qian had died of illness, and the ministers of Xuzhou jointly elected him as the lord of Xuzhou. Chen Deng made it clear in the letter: The matter of rebellion is very important, and he will never dare to give up halfway, return to the army to take over as the lord of Xuzhou, and not break the righteous city and swear not to return.

Chen Deng's statement made Liu Bei completely relieved of the progress of the battle situation on the North Road, and said easily: "Gong Jin, I will leave it to you here, after my return army breaks through the land of Hefei, we will first stabilize the southern part of Jiujiang County, and then capture Yangquan, completely pacify the land of Jiujiang, leaving a lonely city in Shouchun, I will let Yuan Shu live a good addiction to being a lonely widow." ”

Shouchun City was handed over to Zhou Yu as a surprise king, Liu Bei was very relieved, even if what he commanded under the city was basically Yuan Shu's troops, he was only the one who pitted Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu wanted to take advantage of him.

Liu Bei turned his head and told Lu Su: "As soon as I leave, you will immediately take a brigade of cavalry to patrol the countryside of Shouchun, call our officials in Lu'an, establish a rural government here, relocate the landless people in Lu'an, and start colonizing with Shouchun as the center." Also, around Shouchun, leave a piece of land for those Yuan Shu soldiers and tell them that after this battle, they will be rewarded according to their merits. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he urged the horse to lead the team away, and after a while, he turned back and instructed Lu Su to say: "Zijing, this season, planting grain can't catch up with the stubble, beckoning them to plant grass, engage in breeding, and go to Lujiang and other counties to collect household savings and poultry." I will write you another edict and ask the Bull tribe, the Pegasus tribe, and the Aries tribe to send some cattle, horses, and sheep here, and tell the tribes that I will pay for this money. The south is rich in water and grass, but animal husbandry is underdeveloped, so these people sell their livestock in exchange for food, so it is easy to survive this winter. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Zhou Yu, who was biased towards the Sun regime, was quite moved, Lu'an was Zhou Yu's hometown, seeing that his hometown was thriving, and personally felt Liu Bei's compassion for the people, Zhou Yu was so moved that he almost cried, and said in unison with Lu Su: "Don't worry, Shouchun City has been a ripe peach, when does the lord want Shouchun City, Yu and others will personally pick it and present it to the lord to taste." ”

Liu Bei grabbed the reins of the horse, looked at Shouchun City, and sighed: "The long-lasting siege of the city has not stopped, but it has only suffered the people in the city." ”

Zhou Yu arched his hand: "The minister has a plan, there are a lot of soldiers in our camp, so we can let the soldiers summon the defenders of the city and surrender across the city." After a long time, Yuan Shu's troops were insufficient, so he would inevitably think about surrendering, so that the people in the city could reduce their suffering. ”

Liu Bei nodded in appreciation: "The strategy is good, but it's not the right name." Gong Jin, I am not Sun Quan, I am Han Chen, and I don't have to call myself a subordinate to me. ”

Hefei City to Shouchun, Yicheng triangle, just a glance of alluvial plains, originally Zhang Xun received the news of Liu Bei's attack on Shouchun, should quickly march to Shouchun City, flank Liu Bei, but unfortunately Liu Bei's reputation of undefeated famous generals frightened the Hefei defenders, in order to be cautious, Zhang Xun took away all the defenders of Hefei City, just like that, still on the road probe brain, the whole army formed a turtle-shaped circular formation, slowly forward, only walked more than 20 miles a day, the night was dark, they did not dare to continue to advance, and set their feet, Wait for dawn.

Zhang Xun received the news of Yuan Shu's request for help, just at the moment when Ji Ling went to battle, the fast horse galloped to Hefei, and it was the second day for Zhang Xun to reorganize his troops out of the city. If he hurried all the way, he could just collide with Liu Bei, but he walked slowly, and when he set up camp, Liu Bei's cavalry on two horses had sneaked to the edge of Zhang Xun's village, and in the dark night, they stared at the hungry wolf-like eyes, peeking at the reality of Zhang Xun's camp.

"It is said that at three or four o'clock in the morning, people are the most sleepy and the least alert", Liu Bei shook his horsewhip and said to Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi: "I don't know if this statement is true, go back and allocate some money, let the people of the academy study the sleep rules of people, but now, let us verify whether this moment is the most favorable time for a sneak attack, and the general attack time is set at three o'clock in the morning." ”

In the dark, Zhao Yun urged the horse to approach Liu Bei, lowered his voice and said, "Lord, should we wait for dawn before attacking." After dawn, the news of Sun Yi's seizure of Hefei City will reach Zhang Xun's army, at that time, he must be panicked, and our army will take advantage of the situation to attack and win. ”

Liu Bei praised softly and explained: "It's too late, after the news of Tao Qian's death spreads, the princes adjacent to Xuzhou must have some ideas, there is a guard corps there in Ma'anshan, and Sun Quan can't get through it himself, but be careful He ordered the Wu army to attack Xuzhou from the coast." Chen Deng led the army outside, and Xuzhou was empty. In case Cao Cao also coveted the richness of Xuzhou and attacked Liang and Pei from Yanzhou, the pattern of the world would change. Therefore, our army must create a situation of quick victory in Jiujiang to support Chen Deng's rapid return to the army. ”

Liu Bei waved his horsewhip and pointed to the enemy's camp and said: "Zhang Xun is also frightened by the bow bird, deep in the wilderness, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and the untrained farmers are brazenly going into battle, and the camp is most likely to be bombed." As long as our army is dispersed and launched a surprise attack at multiple points at the same time, in the dark night, the enemy army does not know the reality of our army, and it will inevitably collapse. Waiting for Zhang Xun to pack up after dawn, at this time, the news of the fall of Hefei just happened to be transmitted to him, will Zhang Xun still have the will to fight? ”

The generals bowed their heads, quietly placed the soldiers to rest in turn, that night, when the night was the deepest, around Zhang Xun's camp, the military horn sounded in unison, and the cavalry of the Ninth Brigade broke into Zhang Xun's camp from all directions under the guidance of Liu Bei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Chen Zhi, while slashing and killing the sleepy enemy soldiers, while setting fire and shouting. Zhang Xun's soldiers couldn't tell how many soldiers came, but they only knew that the enemy cavalry had surrounded them on all sides, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, the sound of Qingzhou military trumpets everywhere, and the lit camp tents everywhere, the flames were steaming, and the whole camp was on fire. Zhang Xunbing was terrified, trampled on each other, and could not organize effective resistance.

Killed until dawn, Le and Lei Bo escaped from twenty miles, gathered the remnants, and Zhang Xun disappeared. The main general was not there, the two generals were panicking, came the news of the fall of Hefei City, the two heard the news, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, they felt the world spinning, and before the two of them woke up from the sluggishness, Liu Bei's cavalry had been chased by light horses. The second general did not dare to fight again, and raised his hands to surrender.

Liu Bei cleaned the battlefield and found Zhang Xun's body, in the dark night, I don't know which soldier made such a great contribution, but he was ignorant, and only cut off his left ear as evidence to report his military exploits. Looking at Zhang Xun's shirtless corpse wearing only a pair of underwear, Liu Bei said helplessly: "Forget it, who made this great achievement can't be found, and we can't take one ear to the right, in the dark night, if I cut down such a person, I wouldn't have thought that this was one of the two generals who pretended to be a dynasty." ”

Looking at Zhang Xun's corpse with a missing ear, from Zhao Yun down, Huang Zhong and other generals all spewed fire in their eyes. Speaking of military exploits, no one here can compare to Zhao Yun who has been fighting in the grassland for many years, yesterday, Zhao Yun beheaded Ji Ling, the head of Yuan Shu, and tonight's assault, everyone was holding back their strength, waiting to kill the enemy for meritorious service, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xun didn't know which soldier was cut down by the hand. Le and Lei Bo surrendered, and no one in this battle won the first merit of killing the general.

It's a pity, although Ji Ling is brave, he is only the leader of Yuan Shujia Ding, and his identity is not as good as the generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, but it's a pity......

"Cut off Zhang Xun's head - who will take his head to recruit the Yangquan defenders?" Liu Bei asked.
