60 Cranes and mussels compete with each other for the fisherman's profit

"I am Wei Chou, the general of the Jin Kingdom, and those who descend will not die!"

Yan Liang held a big knife in his hand, carried the cloud ladder with one arm and rushed into battle first, facing the sparse rain of arrows on the city wall, and moved forward bravely.

"Come with me to the city!"

Zhao Yun naturally refused to show weakness, dragged the gentian gun, and strode forward with a three-zhang long iron cable.

"Kill!"

These soldiers of Yu State have been in the army for many years, and they have never followed such agile and brave generals, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Yan Liang, their morale is high, their spirits are high, and they shout and rush to the foot of the city wall.

"Arrows, arrows!"

Tang Shun, the guard who woke up from his sleep, covered his crooked helmet and shouted loudly, "What the hell are you going to eat, the Jin army only found out when they arrived in the city, are you worthy of the military salary issued by the state?" ”

The sound of "duh, duh, duh......" came and went, and one after another cloud ladders leaned against the city wall, and countless Yu soldiers bravely attacked the city with shields on their heads.

"Knock the ladder down, knock it down!"

Tang Shun waved his spear and pushed a ladder hard, and slammed it hard, the ladder tilted backwards when it landed, and several soldiers who were climbing fell to the ground, all of them had broken bones, and they were holding their legs, feet and arms and screaming.

Perhaps because they have been passively beaten for many years, the soldiers of Yu State are more accustomed to defense, and are not good at attacking cities, under the increasingly dense rain of arrows, more than 200 casualties, and they are still unable to climb the city wall.

Even the ladder that Yan Liang climbed was supported by the bamboo poles of the defenders on the city wall, but fortunately, he was supported by a big knife when he landed, and it was no big problem, he rolled on the spot a few times, got up and continued to roar and siege the city.

Zhao Yun walked around under the city wall with the iron cable, found the most favorable place to climb, and threw the iron cable towards the city wall.

I only heard a loud "pop", the dust flew, and the sharp iron anchor was suddenly embedded in the city wall and fell about a foot away from the head of the wall.

"Look at me!"

Zhao Yun snorted, grabbed the iron rope with one hand and stepped on the city wall, and quickly climbed up.

"Shoot him, shoot him for me!"

The lieutenant in charge of defending the area raised a rolling stone and aimed it at the top of Zhao Yun's head and smashed it down, while shouting at the archers to gather fire at Zhao Yun.

"Whoosh ......"

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and locust-like arrows poured down on the top of Zhao Yun's head.

Zhao Yun was not afraid, holding the iron rope with his left hand and climbing hard, and wielding the gentian spear with his right hand was impervious to the wind and rain, whether it was rolling stones or crossbow arrows, they all bounced away in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yun had climbed to the end of the iron cable, about a foot away from the city wall.

Suddenly with a loud shout, his body rose into the air, his right hand waved a spear and rolled up the sky with silver light to protect his body, and his left hand suddenly climbed the battlements of the city wall, jumped and flew up to the city.

"Wow......"

Facing Zhao Yun, who was descending from the sky, the army on the city wall was so frightened that they retreated in panic and dodged, and suddenly made a mess.

"Look at the guns!"

Zhao Yun's spear flew, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight people were picked off from the city wall, and even the captain who stepped forward to fight with his sword was pierced through his chest, picked up in the air, and fell into the moat.

Yan Liang's blood was full of admiration: "Tut...... Changshan Zhao Zilong is really good, my Yan Liang is convinced tonight! ”

Zhao Yun brandished a spear to disperse the nearby defenders, and took the soldiers behind him to enter the city, Yan Liang carried a big knife in his hand and went up with the momentum.

The two fierce generals joined forces, and the nearly 100 soldiers killed retreated step by step, leaving a large open area behind them, and the soldiers of the Yu army with high morale swarmed up, and soon there were hundreds of people.

Yan Liang rampaged with a big knife in his hand, and no one could stop him wherever he went, and he almost never used a second knife to cut people. In the chaos of the army, he bumped into the defender Tang Shun, and he was unable to fight, slashed to the ground with a knife, and leaned over to slash his head.

With the death of Tang Shun, the defenders in Linzhang City were leaderless and fled from the south gate, but in an hour and a half, Linzhang City fell into the hands of Yu Jun.

Torches shook in the city, people shouted horses neighing, sheep barked dogs, and there was a great chaos.

The people closed their doors and closed their windows, or hid in wells or woody houses and shivered, lest they would be in trouble. In this year of war and chaos, the vassal states that were plundered by arson and plunder abounded, and human life was as cheap as mustard.

"No one is allowed to plunder the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Zhao Yun loudly ordered the soldiers not to harass the people, and he led hundreds of people to the granary, opened the door and looked at it, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I saw that the huge granary was piled up with dense grain, like a sea of grains, mountains and rice, layer upon layer, innumerable. According to a rough estimate, I am afraid that there are no less than one million stones of grain hoarded in the entire granary.

"It's a pity that so much grain is burned, everyone is looking for a grain truck, how much can be transported!"

Linzhang City is the granary of the kingdom of Qiu, naturally there is no shortage of grain trucks, the soldiers searched for a while, and found at least more than 1,000 grain carts and more than 2,000 mules and horses.

In order to fill the grain cart before dawn, Yan Liang took some soldiers to the people's homes to catch strong men, and asked the people of Linzhang City to help load the trucks, and each person was rewarded with a sack of corn after the incident.

For a while, the city of Linzhang was boiling, and the people who got the news flocked to the granary to help Yu Jun load the grain on the carriage.

They have been dissatisfied with the rule of the Ji clan for a long time, and they hate all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, although they don't want the Jin people to break the city, but they can exchange labor for corn to fill their stomachs, why not?

Tens of thousands of people were busy, and at the fourth watch, they helped Yu Jun fill more than 1,000 grain trucks, which is roughly estimated to be about 300,000 stones.

Looking at the mountains of grain piled up in the granary, Zhao Yun regretted it, and waved his hand to let the people take it themselves, and it was burned as much as they could in half an hour.

The people shouted and ran and busily, using all their might, and only about 200,000 stone were freed up in half an hour, and there was still nearly half of the corn in the granary, which was spilled everywhere.

When it is broken, it is broken, although it is a pity, but it must also be burned!

"Brothers, set fire to the granary!" Zhao Yun waved his hand and ordered loudly.

The granary is a military stronghold, and no residential buildings are allowed nearby, so there is no need to worry about harming innocent people.

With Zhao Yun's order, the fire in the Linzhang granary was burning, and with the help of the north wind, the flames soared into the sky, almost illuminating half of the night sky.

Under the light of the fire, Zhao Yun opened the road with a gun, and after Yan Liang dragged the knife off, he led nearly 3,000 soldiers to escort more than 1,000 grain trucks except for Linzhang City and went north.

The news of Linzhang's robbery soon spread to Xingyang, and the monarchs and ministers of the Kingdom of Yu were shocked, and Ji Shubi was furious and convened the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.

Xiangbang Sun Zhong came out angrily, holding a wat board in his hand to offer advice: "Lord, the Jin Kingdom burned my grain and grass for no reason, is it tolerable or unbearable?" According to the scout's report, Zhao had already attacked Jin on a large scale, and he was tired of coping with it, leaving Wei Chou to sit in Pinglu, and he himself went north to return to China to relieve the siege. This Wei Chou is so arrogant, he must be given some color and fight back! ”

"This Wei Chou is really arrogant!"

In his early twenties, Ji Shubi, who had a goatee, roared loudly, slapped the table and scolded, "Where are Dong Sheng and Cai Yun?" The widow ordered the two of you to send 50,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, attack Wei Chou, and burn the hatred of Linzhang with blood! ”

Uncle Ji pounded his chest in distress as he spoke: "Hey, hey...... My food, millions of stones are gone, if you don't kill Wei Chou, it will be difficult to calm the hatred of the widow's heart! ”

Dong Shengguan worshiped the general of the kingdom of Qiu, and the second general was ordered to lead 40,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, and marched towards Pinglu in the starry night, trying to occupy Pinglu when the backyard of the Jin State was on fire, encroaching on the territory of the Yu State, and profiting from the fisherman.

"Damn, Lao Tzu didn't attack the kingdom of Yu, but took the initiative to harass him? The one who robbed him of food, since he begged for it, Lao Tzu fulfilled him! ”

After receiving the news, Wei Chou was furious, leaving the deputy general to lead 20,000 people to guard Pinglu, and personally ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses to march south, vowing to kill the army without leaving a single piece of armor.

The two armies met in Chenggao on the south bank of the Yellow River, and a big battle was fought in which Wei Chou beheaded Cai Yun, and the Jin army won a complete victory. But while annihilating 10,000 troops, it also paid the price of 5,000 casualties.

Dong Sheng suffered a defeat, retreated thirty miles, set up camp in Chenggao County, and waited for an opportunity to move. Wei Chou waved his troops south, pressing step by step, vowing to go straight to Xingyang, so that the Duke of Jin could see that his ability was not under the first.

After obtaining 300,000 stone of grain, and receiving the news of the Jin Yu battle against Yu Chenggao, Fang Li smiled and clapped his hands: "Fight, fight, the more intense the fight, the better!" Clams compete with each other for the benefit of fishermen, and this feeling is really wonderful! ”
