Su Lie invited Zhang Xiu over and said to him: "General Zhang, this person occupies the boundary bridge, thinking that he can block our army, I need you to go upstream to find a shallow place to cross the river, and then raid the bow and crossbow array of the boundary bridge." ”

After Zhang Xiu heard it, he immediately nodded: "I'll go now!" ”

Although Zhang Xiu has a noble status in China, he is still self-aware. He fought against Zhang Yi too much under Cao Cao, and Zhang Yi estimated that his family did not resent him, but in his own opinion, he was atoning for his actions before himself. So he has always put his posture very low, and took the initiative to send his son Zhang Quan to Zhang Yi's side, half of which is counted as a hostage, and half is regarded as a kind of guilt for his previous behavior, deepening the family relationship between the two families. No matter what, it is always impossible to have a good relationship with the royal family, as long as you do not participate in the competition for the throne, you will definitely make a profit.

Zhang Xiu went southwest along the Qingshui River and entered the territory of Wei County and found a very suitable place to cross the river. Zhang Xiu first asked the cavalry to unload their armor and horse armor and transport them across the river by horses in batches. War horses can swim, but they can only carry a little weight, and the vest and armor will be transported at one time, and the war horse will definitely sink directly to the bottom. After several transports, the horses were tired, but they were not drowned.

After Zhang Xiu crossed the river, he first rested with the cavalry for two days, and after resting, he began to march towards the boundary bridge.

Su Lie was already attacking at the end of the boundary bridge, although he couldn't use the Zhuge Repeater at this time, after all, the range was much shorter than the bow and crossbow in this time. However, the strong bow and crossbow can still be used, and the strong bow and crossbow are used to shoot the enemy troops on the bridge back first. Then he occupied the boundary bridge, and he very cautiously asked Lu Guang to check whether the boundary bridge had been tampered with, if the army passed halfway, and then the boundary bridge suddenly collapsed, the past army would be completely slaughtered.

Fortunately, the boundary bridge is a stone bridge, otherwise, it may really be destroyed by Lu Qian. The stones of the boundary bridge are all made of ancient adhesives, which are similar to those used to build the Great Wall, and they are very difficult to destroy without gunpowder, and as long as they are not in disrepair, they are basically indestructible.

After Su Lie occupied the boundary bridge, he set up a military formation on the boundary bridge. The army was protected by sword and shield soldiers on the perimeter, and the crossbowmen in the middle shot arrows at it.

However, Lu Qian used the boundary bridge to fight more and fight less, and constantly shot arrows at the bridge to block Su Lie's attack. Su Lie held on to the bridge, eating away at Lu Qian's army little by little.

Zhang Xiu suddenly approached the battlefield with his troops, and as soon as the heavy cavalry appeared, the Cao army was confused. Lu Qian hurriedly transferred troops to defend, but it was too late to escape at this time, so he could only carry it to death, and then wait for Le to come in to support.

Zhang Xiu immediately led his troops to rush towards Lu Qian, and his crossbowmen immediately became chaotic. Su Lie immediately asked Lü Guang to lead people to rush over from the boundary bridge and assist Zhang Xiu in attacking Lü Qian's troops. He himself followed closely behind and led his troops to rush to Guangzong City, preparing to intercept Guangzong's Lejin.

When Le Jin saw and learned that Lu Qian was attacked, he immediately led his troops to support. But when Le Jin was about to reach the boundary bridge, he was stopped by Su Lie.

Le Jin saw Lu Qianbu being slaughtered from a distance, and his eyes widened, "Quick!" Kill with all your might, and you must rescue Lu Zike. ”

Le Jin led his troops to rush to Su Lie's military formation, as if rushing over to rescue Lu Qian, but was stopped by Su Lie.

Zhang Xiu almost shocked Lu Qian's troops, and immediately handed over the next battle to Lu Guang, and withdrew from the battlefield with heavy cavalry to rest for a while. After recovering some horsepower, Zhang Xiu immediately led the heavy cavalry to the battlefield of Su Lie and Lejin.

After approaching the battlefield, Zhang Xiu had been observing the battlefield, and seeing that the two sides were fighting anxiously, Zhang Xiu immediately led people around the diagonal rear of Lejin, and then launched an attack.

The heavy cavalry ran up and rushed to the rear flank of the Lejin troops, with Zhang Xiu taking the lead. He is in his fifties this year, and he has spent the first forty years in a stumbling position, and it is only in the last few years that he has found a real home. He was a fierce general, he only liked to ride on the battlefield, he held a spear and rushed into Cao's soldiers. The war horse ran into the enemy, his spear stabbed the enemy to death, and led his men to the bow of the enemy's position.

This feeling made him feel very comfortable, and when Le Jin appeared in front of him, Zhang Xiu's eyes couldn't help but light up. Lejin's status in Cao Wei is very high, and Zhang Xiu has known it for a long time. He immediately led his subordinates to rush forward, picked out three or four Cao soldiers in a row, and killed them in front of Le Jin.

Le Jin heard the sound of the war horse and immediately turned his head to look at it. When he saw Zhang Xiu, he immediately glared at him angrily, "Zhang Xiu, the thief who betrays the master!" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled coldly, and didn't talk at all, but rushed up directly on the horse, and the spear stabbed directly at Le Jin.

Le Jin immediately dodged to the side, but there was not much room to dodge on the battlefield. There was also a soldier under Su Lie next to him, and that soldier saved Le Jin with one hand. Le Jin pushed the soldier away with all his might, but he didn't have time to dodge Zhang Xiu's spear, and was directly penetrated by Zhang Xiu's chest.

Zhang Xiu was thrown Le Jin to the ground, and said to the soldier who had just hugged Le Jin: "Take his head to receive the merit." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" There are too few people who have made marquis in China, so people respect marquises.

Zhang Xiu, he doesn't care much about military merits anymore, no matter how big his military merits are, they are not as good as being loved. What's more, our Emperor His Majesty attaches great importance to virtue, even if he has no talent, he will be given an idle position, and a talented and virtuous person will definitely be reused.

As soon as Lejin died, Lejin's subordinates had no morale and fled one after another. Zhang Xiu pursued for two miles, and then stopped, the horses really had no strength and needed to rest. Even for the next few days, these horses were unable to go to battle. Heavy cavalry is like this, it is too dependent on horsepower, and once there is no horsepower, there is no combat effectiveness.

But it was enough, Su Lie had already captured a lot of prisoners, and then flanked Lu Qian with the Hui army and Lü Guang.

Lü Qian led the troops to hold out until the evening, and died under the rebellion.

Wang Ling only had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left, and most of the rest of Lu Qian and Lejin fled away. Zhang Yijun's soldiers were so strong that they were frightened, and no less than 20,000 people escaped from the battle, as well as those who were taken prisoner.

Wang Ling's current troops have become even smaller than Su Lie's, Le Jin and Lu Qian died in battle, and the morale in the city is low. He had no choice but to continue to retreat to Julu County. Although Julu County is not the seat of Julu County, it is also a large county, and there is no difference between city defense and Guangzong. Moreover, the giant deer is closer to Yecheng, so you can wait for the reinforcements that arrive from Yecheng earlier.

Wang Ling had already asked Yecheng for help, and Cao Pi's reinforcements had already set off for Julu County under the leadership of Li Dian.
