The so-called snake without a head is not good. Especially in ancient wars, the main general was especially important for the army.

Zhang Xunjun, who was suddenly attacked, was cut into two sections, and the front army was still better, with Zhang Xun and others there, and the soldiers still had the backbone. But the rear army simply became a headless fly, and it was simply unable to form an army, and was defeated by Cao Chun's troops with one blow!

At this time, Cao Chunjun was shouting at the soldiers to chase around, killing and capturing the rout.

Zhang Xun and the three were defeated in an instant, and in panic, they took some remnants of the army all the way. At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the three of them did not know the direction, and after walking for about half a moment, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly, a cannon rang out on the side of the road, and a group of men and horses immediately came out.

Zhang Xun and the three of them wailed in their hearts, they didn't have the courage to fight at all, and they were about to flee when they turned their horses.

"Where will the enemy go! Cao Ren is here, don't get off the horse and be bound quickly! ”

Cao Ren's martial arts are exquisite, his eyes are like gods, but he can see clearly, and he shouted at the moment, and rode his horse to kill.

Zhang Xun and the three of them were shocked and panicked when they heard it.

At this moment, Cao Hongjun behind him also rushed up. In this way, the abdomen and back were attacked by the enemy, and Zhang Xunjun completely lost his vitality!

Cao Ying saw that the opportunity could not be missed in the military formation, and he hurriedly commanded the army to besiege the remnants of Zhang Xun and the three people.

"Three, do you still want to do the battle of trapped beasts?"

Cao Ying held the Qinghong Sword and slowly walked up: "Surrender!" ”

Zhang Xun and the three of them glanced at each other, sighed in unison, threw away their blades, and dismounted to be bound.

Cao Ying laughed: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and the three of them will not regret their choice today!" Now, please ask the three to help and gather the remnants! ”

Where did the three of them dare to object, they were obedient and obedient, followed Cao Ying, showed their fame all the way, and collected and gathered the scattered remnants.

Then, Cao Ying, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong joined Cao Chun again, and took more than 50,000 people from his headquarters and more than 30,000 prisoners, turned around sharply at night, and went away.

It is said that Cao Ying handed over Pingyu to Xun You, and he and Cao Ren quietly went out of the city with most of the troops in Pingyu. After walking for less than half a day, Ji Ling led his troops to Pingyu City.

After setting up camp, Ji Ling personally looked at the city and walked around, carefully observed for half an hour, and then returned to the barracks.

"Cao's army is well defended, but it is not easy to deal with."

Ji Ling pondered: "I only have more than 40,000 men and horses in my hands now, and there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 Cao troops in the city to defend it, and I want to take it as soon as possible, but I can't." ”

The previous failure did give Ji Ling a great blow, otherwise with his identity and arrogance as the number one general under Yuan Shu, he would have already waved his army to attack the city, and would never hesitate.

Ji Ling struggled all night, but he couldn't make up his mind, and the next time, he finally gave up the huge credit of laying down the peace alone, and sent people to send a letter to Zhang Xun, Chen Ji, and Han Hao, asking these three to immediately divide their troops to help.

In this way, in the tormented waiting, a whole day passed.

Ji Ling looked at Pingyu City and walked a few times, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Cao Ying captured Pingyu, and his people should be among them. As the overlord of Cao Ying's side, how could he tolerate him Ji Ling visiting back and forth in the city without any reaction? Could it be that Cao Ying is not in the city?

No way!

Ji Ling immediately denied this conjecture.

So why is there any conspiracy? Ji Ling couldn't help but shudder. At the beginning, he was ambushed by Cao Ying and suffered heavy losses.

After thinking about it, Ji Ling didn't come up with a reason, so he had to stay still and wait for reinforcements.

That night, not long after Ji Ling fell asleep, it was the third watch, when suddenly the guards woke him up and said that the person sent to Zhang Xun's department to deliver the letter had returned.

"Let him in."

Ji Ling said as he dressed.

In a few moments, one of the soldiers entered the tent and fell down on one knee.

"How is it so fast?" Ji Lingdao. According to the distance between Pingyu and Zhang Xunjun, even if the horse is fast, it will take two or three days to go back and forth. And this herald came back in just one day, how could it not make Ji Ling wonder?

"Report to the general. The younger one met Zhang Xun, Chen Lan and Le Liang and their subordinates in Shangcai. The soldier replied.

"Oh?" Ji Ling frowned and said, "Zhang Xun and the others were ordered to intercept Jingzhou Wenpin, how dare they withdraw their troops privately?" Could it be that he was defeated by Wenpin and repulsed? ”

"General Hui, according to General Zhang, Na Wenpin has already withdrawn his troops, so"

"Withdrawn?" Ji Ling stood up violently, muttered for a long time, and suddenly suddenly said: "No wonder!" ”

No wonder that Zhang Xun came so quickly, but it turned out that because of the withdrawal of troops from Wenpin, the credit was grabbed!

But Ji Ling thought about it instead, isn't this Zhang Xun coming at the right time?

So he smiled and said, "Where are General Zhang and the others now?" ”

The soldier replied, "Ten miles away." ”

"Haha, good!" Ji Ling laughed loudly and said, "Lieutenant General of the Herald Army, go to the Zhaimen with General Ben to greet you!" ”

Ji Ling put on his cloak three times and twice, called the left and right horses to prepare horses, and led a group of gathered generals to look outside the camp gate.

As soon as I left the camp gate, I saw dense torches dotted in the distance, like a fire dragon, stretching for a few moments, coming this way.

"Hahaha, General Ji, don't come unharmed!"

Zhang Xun's familiar voice reached Ji Ling's ears from afar, and when Ji Ling heard this, the slightest vigilance in his heart was completely relaxed, and he said with a smile: "General Zhang came at the right time!" ”

As soon as the two finished speaking, Zhang Xun, Chen Lan and Le Jie appeared in front of them with a team of personal guards.

Reflecting the faint light of the fire, Ji Ling could see clearly, and immediately hit the horse and slowly greeted it.

Zhang Xun and the three looked at Ji Ling with a smile, but they were extremely nervous. Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and Cao Ren were dressed in Yuan Shujun's uniforms, holding spears in their hands, and they were dead against the hearts of the three of them, and followed behind the three of them step by step, while Cao Ying was taking advantage of the time when Zhang Xun and others were talking to Ji Ling, trying their best to assemble the army.

Ji Ling walked over slowly, hugged his fists with Zhang Xun and the others, said a few more words, and said: "General Ben is worried about how to attack Pingyu, but I didn't expect the three generals to come, and it really rained in time!" Three, please follow me into the camp and discuss the attack all night, and I will definitely take down Pingyu! ”

Cao Ying's task for the three of them was to delay Ji Ling for as long as possible, so that Cao Ying could completely assemble the army. At this time, Ji Ling asked the three of them to enter the camp, so that they didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Le couldn't help but glance back.

This action alone made Ji Ling suspicious. Ji Ling stared, followed Le Yu's eyes, took a closer look, and suddenly his complexion changed wildly!

At this time, Cao Ren and the three of them also felt that something was wrong, and they did not hesitate at the moment, and at the same time they shouted violently, and they all rushed forward, and the three spears with the momentum and belief of killing Ji Ling went straight to Ji Ling's upper, middle and lower three key points!

"Cao Ren!"

At the same time that Ji Ling recognized Cao Ren, the three sharp spears also pierced the air and stabbed him in the face!

"Protect the General!"

The clever generals under Ji Ling's command reacted immediately, and they were about to stop Cao Ren and the three of them with their blades one by one! At this time, Ji Ling's complexion changed wildly, and at the same time, he slammed the horse, and the whole war horse seemed to be lifted up, and the front half of his body was raised up, poof!

Three shots entered the flesh, and they all pierced into the war horse under Ji Ling's crotch, and suddenly the horse's blood soared!

Wow!

The horse screamed and fell to the ground with a bang. Ji Ling took advantage of the action of reining in the horse, his body was vertical, and he jumped away with a three-pointed two-edged knife.

"Cao Ren!" Ji Ling's eyes burst with incomparable hatred, and he looked back and shouted: "Hurry up and warn and assemble the army!" ”

Cao Ren and the three of them missed a blow, but they were not discouraged, they followed like a shadow, and the three spears rushed over like poisonous snakes, vowing to kill Ji Ling!

At the same time, Cao Ying, who was not far away, also saw this situation and knew that he couldn't wait any longer. Otherwise, when Ji Ling's army formed a military formation, it would be difficult to fight, so he shouted: "Attack!" ”

Suddenly, the tiger and leopard rode first, the sword and shield soldiers followed, and the rest of the troops assisted with two wings, looking straight at the camp gate to kill!

Ji Ling took a deep breath, his chest was completely bulging, his body of qi and blood was rapidly circulating and condensing, and the three-pointed and two-edged blade in his hand was exposed! Facing the three spears, Ji Ling's wrist shook continuously, and the three-pointed two-edged knife suddenly turned into a phantom, and three knives came out in a row, and the three snow-bright knife lights were extremely sharp, as if they were in no particular order, and they met Cao Ren and the others!

Ding Ding Ding!

Three crisp sounds sounded at the same time, and the three of Cao Ren sprinted together, and then the three of them immediately dispersed, surrounding Ji Ling in it!

"Ji Ling, if you know the times, surrender immediately!"

"Ji Ling, you are a man, I think the lord will never treat you badly!"

"Yes, surrender!"

The three of them surrounded Ji Ling, and their faces were all solemn. Ji Ling's quick reaction and three strikes in one move made the three of them completely respect him, which has nothing to do with whether he is hostile or not, but a warrior's respect for a powerful opponent.

"Hahaha" Ji Lingchang smiled, turned his head, looked at Cao Jun who still entered the camp gate, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said: "This general is not as good as others, he fell into your trap, and he deserved to die!" But to make General Ben surrender, delusional! ”

At this time, Zhang Xun and the three of them came over, looking at Ji Ling, Qi Qi was a little unbearable, Zhang Xun said to Cao Ren: "General Cao, General Ji Ling's family is in Shouchun"

Cao Ren and the three of them were silent when they heard this.

In this way, how could Ji Ling dare to surrender? According to Yuan Shu's surname, if he knew that Ji Ling surrendered to Cao Ying, he would definitely wipe out the Nine Clans, and he would be merciless!

"So" Cao Ren paused, and said solemnly: "We should give General Ji Ling a decent way to die!" ”

"Don't say much, come on!"

Ji Ling shouted wildly, and his qi and blood suddenly exploded, like an atomic bomb, to burst out with the most brilliant light at the last moment!

"Kill!"

Cao Ren and the three of them let out a low cry at the same time, and the three spears burst out with unprecedented light, heading straight for Ji Ling!

Puff puff!

Cao Ren let go of the spear in his hand, looked at Ji Ling in disbelief, and couldn't speak anymore. Cao Chun and Cao Hong also let go of their blades and retreated a few steps.

Ji Ling spurted blood from his mouth and nose, held a three-pointed two-edged knife pestle on the ground with one hand, and slowly pulled out the spear that pierced his chest with three rods with the other, and said in a low voice: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person." ”

After that, he died of exhaustion.

After Ji Ling died, the long knife touched the ground, and the majestic body stood there quietly, like a statue.

In fact, with Ji Ling's martial arts, even if he can't defeat Cao Ren and join forces, he still has a chance to escape. But he could not run and would not run. Cao's army has already entered the camp, the soldiers who are resting have no resistance, Ji Ling knows that the army will be destroyed, if he escapes alone, Yuan Shu will definitely not let him have a good time after he goes back, and maybe his family will be affected. Even so, it is better to die, so that Yuan Shu can still take care of his family for the sake of following him for many years.

Cao Ying pacified Ji Ling's military village, came here, looked at Ji Ling's body standing there quietly, for a long time, and sighed: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person." Ji Ling is good! ”

"Come on, collect the corpse of General Ji for the Honshu Mu and bury it!"
