Chapter 20: Confluence

The foot soldiers on the opposite side were still more than twenty steps away from Yuan Ji's cavalry.

"Shoot the arrows!" Yuan Ji gave an order, and more than 2,000 arrows were hidden behind the cavalry and shot out in an instant.

Sou! Sou! Sou! …… Even in the dark night, Ji Zhong seemed to vaguely see the arrows shooting from above. He was immediately furious, and the big knife was wielded, blocking many arrows, and he rushed towards the other party in a fit of rage!

"Ahh My hand! "Ahh My eyes! ”……

Under the dense arrow attack, Ji Zhong's chasing foot soldiers screamed endlessly, and the two armies lost hundreds of people before they could handover.

"Shoot the arrows! Roundshot! Yuan Ji looked at these stupid people with a cruel smile, ignored the other party's screams, and said, "Prepare to charge!"

Ji Zhong's 3,000 foot soldiers, under the call of arrows in turn, now there are only more than 1,000 capable fighters left. Yuan Ji couldn't see the number of people clearly in the night, he felt that at this time, the cavalry came out to charge the battle, and the victory was his!

"Charge! Rush! Under Yuan Ji's order, the five thousand cavalry suddenly made a loud stride charge, and Feng Yizhou rushed over first. The scout that Zhao Yun pretended to be had disappeared long since people were not paying attention in the cold night, and no one had noticed.

"Damn! Where did the Chen cavalry come from! Ji Zhong heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he roared, his back was cold, and cold sweat rushed forward, and the word retreat had not yet come to the urgent exit, and the two armies had already handed over.

Ahhh The screams of the soldiers resounded through the mountain road, and the tragic death of his companions scattered many soldiers, and also inspired the ferocity of Ji Zhong's soldiers, and they fought against each other, but the effect was extremely weak.

Distracted by Ji Zhong, Feng Zhou's big sword has already been attacked. Ji Zhong was able to stand in the way, and rolled to the side, "Grandpa fought with you!" Jumping violently, the big knife slashed straight towards Feng Zhou.

The general trend has gone, and Ji Zhong knows that even if he is left with his life at this moment, when he returns to Yuan Shu's side, it will definitely be the time of death, it is better to die here, and there will be much less involvement in his brother Ji Ling. Ji Zhong, who had made up his mind, attacked Feng Zhou on horseback without his life.

Feng Zhou stabilized his position, heard Ji Zhong's shout again, and said in a daze: "General Ji Zhong?!" ”

"It's you, my son, and me!" Ji Zhong stabbed angrily, and attacked fiercely as he answered.

"Not good! Hit the trick! Feng Zhou fought off Ji Zhong on horseback, and saw clearly that the other party was Ji Zhong by the light of the torch, and he shouted at Ji Zhong: "It's me!" Feng Zhou! ”

"Lao Tzu cares about you...... Feng Zhou! Ji Zhong seemed to remember who Feng Zhou was, and was dumbfounded: "Are you Feng Zhou?!" ”

"Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Feng Zhou finally stopped the cavalry battalion from abusing Ji Zhong's foot soldiers, Yuan Ji rode in under the escort, and said with an angry face: "You don't need to take prisoners, kill them all!" ”

"General! We've been tricked! Feng Zhou and Ji Zhong were angry for a while, "It's Ji Zhong who is fighting with us!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Ji and Wu Zhi's faces suddenly changed greatly.

"Pingyu is lost?!" This is what Yuan Ji is most worried about.

"Where's that scout?!" Wu Wei felt that the scout had the most to do with this matter. When the sergeant returned, everyone present looked at each other with a stiff and cold face.

Ji Zhong wanted to cry without tears, his heart was cold, there were only about 500 people left after the three thousand soldiers fought repeatedly, and he was now facing the eldest brother of the lord Yuan Shu, how could he be good?

Holding back the coldness in his heart, Ji Zhong didn't dare to exhale: "Pingyu has not been lost yet, but the granary has been burned down......"

Yuan Ji's killing intent flashed, and he snorted coldly, Ji Zhong was so frightened that his head lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Yuan Ji.

Granary?! Wu Zhi and Feng Zhou were shocked, and said in unison: "It's not good!" Their real purpose is ......! ”

Before the two finished speaking, a rumbling explosion sound came from the direction of Gushi, and the endless firelight made Gushi County particularly conspicuous in the cold night.

Yuan Ji looked back, the endless fire in the granary of Gushi County made him suddenly feel that his eyes were dark, and he was about to faint, so he would not fall and dismount with the help of his own guards.

At this moment, there were bursts of drumming on the mountain, and the lit torches filled the entire mountain, and Zhao Yun said loudly: "You have fallen for my eldest brother's plan again!" Roll wood! ”

As soon as the words fell, a huge rolling stone and rolling wood rolled down the mountain. The war horses panicked and jumped up one after another under the fright of rolling stones and trees. Ji Zhong's foot soldiers and the archers led by Wu Zhi couldn't help but panic and scatter.

The whole formation was in a mess, those who fell off their horses were trampled to death, those who were stoned to death by rolling logs, the war horses ran and roared wildly, and the sergeants threw away their armor one after another.

"Steady! Hold on to your formation! Feng Zhou and the other three generals didn't care about the rolling wood and stones rolling down the mountain, and while protecting Yuan Ji and retreating, he commanded his subordinates to gather the scattered troops.

Zhao Yun knew that the rolling wood and rolling stones could only lose part of the opponent's troops, and could not destroy all of them. Therefore, after rolling the log, he decisively ordered more than 2,000 soldiers under his command to storm the cavalry battalion that was confused by the frightened war horses.

In an instant, Zhao Yun's side was determined to kill the enemy, and Yuan Ji's side had no intention of resisting in a panic. As soon as the two armies were handed over, even the cavalry Yuan Ji was eager to flee for his life, and he was powerless to fight back after taking advantage of the infantry army on horseback. The 2,000 foot soldiers, mainly Xu Chu's halberd battalion, faced the cavalry, and did not fall behind at all, relying on the momentum of high morale and the tiger descending the mountain, killing many horse troops for a while. Zhao Yun was even more comfortable in the midst of many horse troops, as if entering a no-man's land, every shot could kill one or more horse soldiers.

Soon, the soldiers who had been carefully trained by the Yuan clan reformed the formation and withdrew from the rolling wood area. The Euphorbia battalion led by Zhao Yun was in full swing, and Ji Zhong and the other three generals had no choice but to protect Yuan Ji, avoid his edge, and quickly retreat in the direction of Gushi.

Yuan Ji shouted in panic: "After the palace Wu, no matter what, you have to block them from taking a step forward!" He pointed in the direction of Gushi, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness because of the destruction of the granary, and his fingers trembled: "I will let more than a thousand horse troops assist you!" Feng Zhou, return to Gushi County now to fight the fire! ”

Yuan Ji didn't look at Ji Zhong again, and under Feng Zhou's escort, he rushed towards Gushi County with three thousand horses in a panic.

Ji Zhong knew that he was attacked at night this time, and although Pingyu was not lost, the purpose of the people was not Pingyu at all, but the granary of Gushi. The fire in the granary had the most to do with him, and no matter how Ji Ling was reused in Yuan Shu's hands, he couldn't keep himself. It's better to fight the opponent now, kill the opponent's general, or get a chance to save your life.

At this thought, he suddenly drank: "Life or death, in one move!" The big knife struck the rolling wood hard, and said coldly: "Children, swear to protect the mountain road to the death, and never let the enemy take a step forward!" ”

"No!" Ji Zhong's foot soldiers, who were only a few hundred people left, shouted angrily. The momentum of Yuan Ji's mourning soldiers in the entire mountain road came up, and Wu Zhi drew his saber, "Sons, Yuan Gong has treated us well every day, and now is the time to serve Yuan Gongbao!" Abandon the arrows, take out your saber, and kill with me! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The 2,000-strong archers drew their sabers at their waists and followed Wu Zhi and Ji Zhong towards Zhao Yun, who was caught in the Ma army's charge.

Wu Zhiji Zhong has some combat ability to command the troops, and he has already reassembled the scattered mourning soldiers after such a short time. The Euphorbia Battalion was a new recruit and did not have much combat experience, and was reduced by a third of its strength in less than a moment.

Zhao Yun secretly said that he was going to suffer, and the Yajiao gun in his hand hit several consecutive combos, killing a bloody path, and said loudly: "Come and die quickly!" ”

Zhao Yun broke through the cavalry encirclement, killed the vanguard of the rout, and directly faced Wu Zhi and Ji Zhong. By the light of the fire, seeing that although the person who came looked resolute, but his face was immature, Ji Zhong was suddenly furious, and a hairy boy dared to be so arrogant, and couldn't help but shout: "The kid is looking for death!" Eat Lao Tzu with a knife! ”

The big knife slashed horizontally, and the knife wind brought out by the horizontal attack whirred, and Wu Zhi attacked Zhao Yun at the same time. Zhao Yun's face did not change, and the Yajiao gun instantly shook out a shot, and with a ding, Ji Zhong's big knife was already difficult to advance.

At this moment, Wu Wei had already attacked Zhao Yun's horse, but when he saw Zhao Yun, he smiled indifferently: "It's a good time!" The Yajiao spear pressed down hard, and together with Ji Zhong's knife, he resisted the attack of the main Wu value.

This kid has such a strong arm! Wu Zhiji Zhong and the others were shocked, and they babbled and drank, and the two of them finally raised their knives together. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun's spear was like a snake and a dragon, stabbing Ji Zhong along the back of the knife, as fast as lightning.

Ji Zhong didn't have time to scream, Zhao Yun's corner gun stabbed him through, with a look of disbelief, the leopard's eyes were wide open, and he didn't blink an eye in an instant. Before Wu Wei could see what the situation was, Ji Zhong died in front of him, stunned, Zhao Yun's gun didn't wait for him to come back to his senses, and attacked again.

"General be careful!" Zhao Yun's fast gun slammed at the distracted Wu Value like a violent wind, and the personal guard who was not far away immediately kicked Wu Zhi to avoid Zhao Yun's attack. More than a dozen guards besieged Zhao Yun at the same time, and one of them woke up Wu Zhi and said, "General, go quickly!" ”

Wu Zhi was in a cold sweat, and in a hurry, he went out of the battle circle under the protection of the guards, and got on the horse with the intention of fleeing for his life. Zhao Yun said proudly: "Hugh go!" "Shoot the horse and rush to kill, the guards were under the gunpower of Zhao Yun, and they didn't stop Zhao Yun for half a moment, so they let Zhao Yun pursue Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi was so panicked that he threw away his armor and fled straight to Gushi. In the darkness, three thousand foot soldiers reappeared in the slope of the mountain road on the left, and the first one was Liu Qi.

After luring the enemy into the mountain road, Liu Qi finally appeared in the form of reinforcements, "The thief will leave!" Signaling the three thousand halberds led by himself to join the battlefield to alleviate the crisis of Zhao Yun being flanked everywhere, he opened and closed his own swords and slashed the scattered guards.

Wu Zhi saw that the other party still had reinforcements at this time, and he was even more panicked, and returned to the mountain road, but unexpectedly bumped into Zhao Yun who was chasing him, and Zhao Yun stabbed him to death with a shot.

"The enemy is dead! Those who descend will not be killed! ”

The addition of reinforcements suddenly brought the entire battle situation back into Zhao Yun's hands, especially after the death of Ji Zhong and Wu Zhi, the army was defeated, and they all threw away their armor and fled for their lives, and only hundreds of people who surrendered did not have time to escape.

In this battle, Liu Qi's army won completely, killed nearly 10,000 enemies, killed three enemy generals, and burned down Yuan Shu's granary that he relied on most in Runan County, which greatly damaged his vitality.
