Chapter 4: CD Trap (I)

Yizhou is mountainous and has few horses, there are not many cavalry, plus its most elite 70,000 soldiers will die under the blow of Li Shengjun, surrender and surrender, and when Zhao Yun's cavalry is under the CD, almost all of the defenders of the CD are recruits who have been recruited by Liu Zhang for less than a month after the Battle of Fushui, and they themselves have not undergone much training, and they are a little trembling even when they hold weapons in their hands, let alone give them war horses to train them to become cavalry.

infoCD has no cavalry, this is the situation when Zhao Yun's unit arrived at CD.

Because there was no cavalry, Liu Zhang obviously lacked the ability of Zhao Yun's subordinates.

Under the constant vertical and horizontal of Zhao Yun's people, Liu Zhang can only choose to retreat.

Although he also issued an order to let the spies who still exist outside the city return to the city, the strength of Zhao Yun's department has been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, and no one is willing to go out of the city to pass this order, resulting in no follow-up when the order comes out of Liu Zhang's mouth.

Liu Zhang could only continue to watch from the city, and the smoke and dust of Zhao Yun's five thousand rides watched him pull out his spies outside the city one by one and die in front of him.

This is undoubtedly Zhao Yun demonstrating to Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang can only endure himself.

After enduring two days in the city, the feeling of being extremely depressed made Liu Zhang finally burst out unbearably.

"We have to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and we have to find a way to destroy these damned cavalry. I can't stand it if I continue to let them continue to be arrogant outside of this city. ā€

"Yes...... But the lord ...... We don't have cavalry. ā€

Liu Zhang's subordinates reluctantly pleaded: "Without cavalry, what can we do to deal with Zhao Yun?" ā€

"If there is no cavalry, then put it on me with infantry."

Liu Zhang was furious, his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword on his left waist, making a look like he was about to draw his sword and stand up, glaring at the group of people under him menacingly.

Seeing that they all lowered their heads one by one, and didn't dare to look at themselves, they directly nodded at the general: "That Liu Hui and Ma Han, I think you will lead the troops to battle." I will send you 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is far higher than Zhao Yun's troops. If you can't win like this, I think you can just wipe your neck outside, I don't want to see you flee again. ā€

Liu Zhang said coldly, but he gave them such a death order directly.

"What to do? My lord, this is what you want us to fight to the death. Although we were given 20,000 horses, looking at the quality of these 20,000 recruits, I am afraid that no one would think that they could really play the role of 20,000 soldiers. ā€

Liu Hui and Ma Han understand this very well, but what can they do, as long as they are still loyal to Liu Zhang, then they must follow Liu Zhang's orders.

Full of desolation in their chests, they knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Zhang's knot three times, stood up and turned their heads away.

Everyone looked at the sound of the departure of this general, who was not famous on weekdays, and they all felt the desolate and tragic smell emanating from them.

"Perhaps, they all understand that this is their last battle."

The ministers thought so in their hearts.

Liu Zhang didn't have any feelings about their tragedy.

Soon after sending these two people out, Liu Zhang clamored to see the scene where his soldiers broke Zhao Yun's cavalry.

For Liu Zhang, who didn't know soldiers, the so-called combat strength was just a comparison of the number of soldiers, and he didn't think that his 20,000 soldiers might not be able to defeat Zhao Yun's 5,000 cavalry.

"Let's go! Go to the city. ā€

Liu Zhang said so, but he took a group of people away.

At this moment, the battle between Zhao Yun, Liu Hui and Ma Han had just begun.

The two sides were arrayed under the city, separated by a distance of three hundred zhang from each other.

Zhao Yun put his cavalry team in a sharp formation, posing as if they were ready to attack at any time, while Liu Hui and Ma Han circled their team into a square circle formation that definitely belonged to defense.

Although they are out of the city to fight, they don't have much to attack, they just want to defend, and it is good to maintain such a result of not winning or losing.

I have to say that the quality of this group of recruits in Yizhou is really poor.

Zhao Yun's formation on the opposite side had been standing there for a while, and the group of recruits on their side were still arranging in a chaotic formation, as if they hadn't stood in their own position.

The appearance of such a poor soldier in front of the enemy, and the enemy's performance was much higher than his own, made the two generals in command blush, and at the same time, they had no hope of victory on their side.

At this moment, they were undoubtedly somewhat grateful to Zhao Yun.

Because Zhao Yun didn't take advantage of the time when they were reorganizing their formation to attack him.

Although they didn't know exactly why Zhao Yun did this, it was a fact that Zhao Yun did this because he had left some affection for himself.

For this situation, they have already made a decision in their hearts, that is, to fight, to fight with their own blood, let Zhao Yun and them also see, Yizhou people have no bad seeds - they must fight to the death, this is what they think.

The Fang Yuan Array had finally stood up within half an hour after Zhao Yun had lined up the Sharp Arrow Array, although there must still be some problems in the real operation, but at least on the surface, it still had some momentum.

With the establishment of this momentum, Liu Hui and Ma Han, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, they stood in the formation, under the arch of the left and right guards, they got on the high chariot platform, after sweeping their formation, and looking at Zhao Yun's subordinates, who had been waiting for them for a long time, they bowed their heads slightly, and finally ordered the drummers below to beat the drums that began to fight.

They were finally ready for battle.

"Such an army?"

Listening to the drum of battle that the other party finally sounded, Zhao Yun's mocking smile clearly floated on his face.

How much combat power the Yizhou army has now, he can finally see from their current formation.

The reason why he gave the opponent time to set up the formation and let the opponent calmly set up the formation was that he saw through the weak nature of the opponent.

He wanted to tell the other party through his actions that even if I let you set up a good formation, you are definitely not my opponent, you are just a group of vulnerable rabble.

Zhao Yun's team was a simple cavalry, so naturally he didn't bring any cumbersome things such as snare drums.

Therefore, when the long-awaited war drums of the Yizhou army were beaten, what Zhao Yun used to issue the order was his own shout: "Thunder! ā€

He roared, his voice so clear to the warriors around him that not even the drumming from the enemy line on the opposite side could drown it out.

Under such a shout, the riders of the five thousand tigers also opened their voices without showing weakness and responded to their main general: "Thunder! Thunder! ā€

They shouted in unison.

The loud shout sounded like a tsunami for a while, frantically overpowering the drumbeat of the Yizhou army, making the weak drum sound faintly inexplicable in this roar.

"Thunder!"

Zhao Yun shouted again, this was already a signal for attack.

The bright silver spear in his hand waved forward, and he took the lead in sprinting out, and this one shouted "thunder" in unison

The cavalry of the word suddenly moved.

They did not echo the "thunderbolt"

roared, but they used their own actions to interpret the word thunder perfectly.

The horses had already spread their hooves, and the shouting soldiers had closed their eyes in unison, their spirits focused, and their eyes were red and staring only at the enemy formation in front of them.

Heaven and earth seemed to make things illusory in their eyes in an instant, and only the enemy on the opposite side was still clearly visible.

Two hundred zhang, one hundred zhang, fifty zhang, the sound of the cavalry's hooves trampling heavily on the ground became louder and louder as Zhao Yun's cavalry approached.

"It's deafening."

Liu Hui and Ma Han glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of panic and fear in each other's eyes.

They sighed slightly, and immediately went down from the high platform, got on their mounts, and were about to engage in battle, and they also knew that there was a big gap between the quality of their army and the other party.

In the face of the rushing Zhao Yun cavalry, even they felt scared, not to mention, what about those recruits who had just joined the army not long ago?

There was no way, they could only try to use their own martial arts and their own leading soldiers to drive the morale of the whole army and let them meet the attack of Zhao Yunjun.

Because the generals behaved like this, the recruits of the Yizhou Army, who were terrified of watching the dash of Zhao Yun's cavalry, finally did not flee before the opponent's cavalry could be killed.

They shook the spears in their hands, and stood hesitantly in place and collided with Zhao Yunjun, who was running at high speed.

"The cavalry is so scary!"

A Yizhou soldier, who was only about fourteen or fifteen years old and still had a childish look on his face, involuntarily shrank his neck and raised the spear in his hand when facing the charging cavalry.

He was undoubtedly still a little smart, and at this tense time, the spear in his hand had not been forgotten in a frame style.

However, this posture was undoubtedly set up too early - when he set up this posture, Zhao Yun, the cavalry who rushed to the front of the team, was still at least three zhang away from him.

The distance of three zhang is just a matter of a moment for the cavalry, maybe it is difficult for the ordinary cavalry to react at such a distance at such a high speed, but who is Zhao Yun that the little soldier is facing?

How could he, who could swing thirty-six bayonets with afterimages in one breath, not react at such a distance.

He adjusted the angle of the spear in his hand as a matter of course, and deftly rushed past him, knocking the spear in his hand with one hand, and slashing his throat with the blade of the spear.

With a survival attachment, the soldier fell down painfully by the throat.

What he was thinking when he was dying, no one knows.

Zhao Yun didn't have any feelings about this, he didn't even look at the corpse of the little soldier, and rushed into the enemy formation, and the war horse that followed closely behind him trampled the corpse of the little soldier into a pile of meat sauce.

Killing, and being killed, this is a matter of moments on the battlefield.

Whether you are an old man or a child, as long as you show up on the battlefield with a weapon, then you are definitely a soldier.

As such an being, no one will mourn your death, because it is normal for either you to kill someone or someone else to kill you.

The battlefield does not need and cannot have mercy, no matter who you are, even if you are kind, you must harden your heart here.

Zhao Yun is undoubtedly a benevolent general while being a brave general, but even a benevolent general like him puts benevolence after the war, and on the battlefield, his courage and fierceness are the most important.

Like all generals, Zhao Yun brought death and destruction to the enemy on the battlefield.

The cavalry advanced rapidly.

Although the Yizhou army's position was a serious defensive formation, the defensive formation, which was completely organized by new soldiers, was like an inferior thin shield with sawdust sticking together, and it was simply unable to resist the direct stab of Zhao Yun's cavalry, a sharp iron spear.

A little bit of the Fang Yuan Array collapsed, under Zhao Yun's assault.

The collapse of this point led to the collapse of the surrounding area, and with the influx of more and more cavalry, this collapse continued to spread, and soon caused the collapse of the first half of the square circle, and spread to the rear formation.

When the people standing behind saw the innumerable number of people coming in front of them, they also retreated and turned away.

The Fang Yuan array finally collapsed, and when Zhao Yun's cavalry broke through to a third of it, the entire formation, all the soldiers, had no will to fight any longer.

Fear spread like a plague, and many people didn't even see the cavalry led by Zhao Yun, so they fled frantically, while fleeing, they still muttered: "Don't kill me, don't kill me." ā€

"It's over...... How did it all come to an end so quickly? ā€

This is something that neither Liu Hui nor Ma Han expected.

They may have estimated that they would eventually perish in this battle, but they never imagined that it would come so quickly.

"What should I do?"

At this time, Liu Hui and Ma Han made different decisions on this issue.

Liu Hui was already disheartened.

He knew that this was his place of death, so he took out the long sword in his hand and gently wiped his neck with the blade of his sword.

He was unwilling to let someone else take his life.

Mahan, on the other hand, is different.

When Liu Hui wiped his neck, Ma Han was too late and in no mood to stop him, but at this moment, Ma Han gathered more than a dozen cavalry guards and hundreds of infantry who could still listen to his orders, and led them directly forward, killing in the direction that Zhao Yun was rushing from.

Because the rout of the whole army has already been formed, it is not the enemy who stands in front of their group of people first, but the rout of their own people.

For these people, Ma Han did not hesitate and directly issued a killing order.

One Yizhou soldier after another fell.

Under Ma Han's cold-blooded killing and Zhao Yun's crazy assault, the distance between the two is shortening little by little.

Soon, there were no other routs between the two.

Zhao Yun saw Ma Han's calm face as dark as dead ashes, and Ma Han also saw the little blood stains stained on his body, and Zhao Yun looked as terrifying as a killing god.

There were no superfluous words, and there was not even a report by name, Zhao Yun and Ma Han were already close to each other.

This is not Zhao Yun's negligence, nor is it that he deliberately ignores Ma Han, but that he sees the monstrous battle intent in Ma Han's eyes and the resolute will to die.

Zhao Yun understood that even if he asked Ma Han, Ma Han would not say a word, because all that was left in his heart at the moment was "Fight!" ā€

That's just one word.

It is undeniable that in terms of martial arts alone, Ma Han is definitely not comparable to Zhao Yun.

But at this moment, Ma Han has caused Zhao Yun a big and small Ma Han - because he doesn't want to die.

The so-called "soft is afraid of hard, hard is afraid of horizontal, and horizontal is afraid of death!" ā€

Although in terms of absolute superiority in force, even if Ma Han didn't want to die, Zhao Yun would not be afraid of him, but it was a fact that he was stunned for a while under Zhao Yun's gun through his lifeless behavior.

Of course, such support did not last long.

After all, the force between the two is too much different.

In less than twenty times, Zhao Yun stabbed Ma Han under the horse, and a single shot killed him.

With the death of Ma Han, the commando team organized by Ma Han was also destroyed: the guards who had followed Ma Han for a long time had a deep affection for Ma Han, and they all drew their knives and killed themselves without exception, and those who were only stimulated by Ma Han's martial arts and fought with Zhao Yun with a momentary dizziness of their heads, but they did not have so much backbone - there were some of them who turned around and fled, and there were no longer a few who knelt on the ground and asked for surrender, and there was no one who was willing to kill himself like the guards.

The last vestiges of resistance of the 20,000-strong army were wiped out.

Zhao Yun's cavalry followed with a shout and advanced, and the fierce momentum and the powerful combat power that had just been displayed made the people of Yizhou frightened.

Liu Zhang even vomited blood and fainted after seeing the scene of his 20,000 army being defeated so quickly.

This naturally made his subordinates panic nervously, so that they forgot about the defeated soldiers under the city.

CD's gates were never opened, much to the despair of the routs outside the city.

In the end, they had no choice but to surrender to Zhao Yun who was escorted behind them and became Zhao Yun's prisoner.

The CD battle stabilized for the time being.

Liu Zhang, who had already been frightened by the performance of Zhao Yun's cavalry, did not dare to send people out of the city to die again, and Zhao Yunzi, who had received more than 10,000 prisoners in a battle, was also unable to carry out a large-scale campaign again.

At the moment, both sides stopped slightly.

Zhao Yun drove the prisoners of war to build a military camp in the north three miles of the CD, and while monitoring the movements of the CD from afar, they quietly waited for the arrival of Li Sheng's army.

It can be said that at this moment, Liu Zhang's goal for Zhao Yun was basically achieved - relying on those captives, Zhao Yun's arrogant appearance was finally exhausted.

Liu Zhang, who vomited a mouthful of blood in the city, finally got a relatively peaceful rest environment, allowing him to recuperate.

This may be a great blessing in misfortune for him.

However, this great luck lasted for three days before it was broken.

Li Sheng's army of nearly 100,000 men finally appeared on the northern horizon as far as the eye could see from the head of the city.

The boundless army, the flags that cover the sky and the sun, the low and majestic drum beat, everything makes people startled and shocked.

With such a huge momentum, Liu Zhang, who was still recuperating, had to get up from the couch and go to the city to watch.

He knew that the final battle had come, and it depended on whether he could stay in Yizhou safely or not.

"Maybe that's the last and most important moment, right? But...... Can I win? ā€

Looking at the majestic and mighty army under the city, thinking of the kind of strong strength that Zhao Yun's cavalry personally displayed in front of his eyes three days ago, the fear in Liu Zhang's heart couldn't help but emerge.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, it should have been the moment when he stood at the head of the city and loudly reprimanded them in the face of the enemies under the city, but at this time, in the eyes of everyone, it was Liu Zhang, the lord, who was frightened by Li Shengjun's military situation, and his face was like earth, and he looked in a daze.

The lord is so afraid, is it possible for the people under him to have the confidence to overcome because of this?

This is clearly not a possible thing.

For a moment, there was silence in the city.

Between heaven and earth, only the drums of Li Sheng's army and the sound of hunting flags fluttering in the wind echoed.

Li Shengjun's momentum was further strengthened by this, and all of them, from soldiers to generals, believed that the final victor of the war was themselves, and that this tall and majestic city would fall sooner or later.

Under the banner, before the battle array, the army of ten thousand soldiers silently spoke, Li Sheng stood on horseback, and less than a zhang behind him, several generals lined up, holding weapons in their hands, and they were completely prepared for war.

Although they stood behind Li Sheng, because the place where Li Sheng stood was not far from the city, the faces of the generals behind Li Sheng fell into the eyes of everyone in the city one by one: Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Xing Daorong, Liu Bi, Wu Yi, Li Yan, Yan Yan, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Zhang Yi...... Good guys, almost more than half of the Li Shengjun who appeared under the CD were generals from Yizhou.

Although the expressions on their faces as they stood there were all calm, making it impossible to see what they were thinking, their appearance here, behind Li Sheng, undoubtedly slapped Liu Zhang's face hard, making the anger in his heart rise again.

"Rebels and thieves, a group of rebels and thieves, they are shameless and faceless guys, what other faces do they have in front of our eyes?"

Liu Zhang's face blushed and scolded in annoyance: "Someone! Beat the drums, I'm going out of the city to fight. ā€

He seemed to be a little dizzy.

"My lord, no."

Hearing Liu Zhang's angry words, these ministers in CD City suddenly remembered the incident of three days ago, remembered Li Shengjun's strong combat power, and were immediately shocked, and hurriedly knelt down at Liu Zhang's feet and persuaded him: "The thief army is powerful, and our army is mainly recruits, which is only conducive to defending the city, not conducive to field warfare." Has the lord forgotten what happened three days ago? ā€

"Three days ago, ...... that nightmare?"

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang was silent, and the original Zhang's reddened face suddenly faded and became miserable, and the fear in his heart became more and more intense.

"Zhao Yun's 5,000 cavalry is already so powerful, and at the moment Li Sheng has an army of 100,000, although it is impossible for them to be as effective as Zhao Yun's cavalry, but judging from the current array, their combat effectiveness is not much worse than Zhao Yun's. With such a large number and such combat power, I think we should defend the city to the death. ā€

The persuasion continued, and they didn't know at all that their lord's heart had changed subtly when they said this.

"Defend the city...... How long can we keep it? In the face of such an army? ā€

Liu Zhang muttered in a low voice, at this moment, his perception that he could hold on to defending the city had been shaken.

"Liu Jiyu, you only have this lonely city left now, do you still want to resist? It is better to descend early, so as to avoid the danger of war for the people in the city. ā€

Li Sheng under the city shouted loudly: "The soldiers in Shu are gone, Liu Jiyu, how long do you think these soldiers you have newly recruited can resist me, the tiger and wolf soldiers?" Ten days? One month? Or a year? All parts of Shuzhong have fallen into my hands, Liu Jiyu, do you think you still have foreign aid? Do not harm the people of the city by yourself. ā€

"Li Zixu, you said this lightly. The revenge of killing the son is not shared, how can I surrender to you. Hmph, if you want me to descend, you can screw off the head of Zhang Yi behind you. ā€

Liu Zhang heard Li Sheng's voice, and the anger in his chest surged again, and he could endure all the other hatreds, and made the final decision to surrender under his own fear.

But the revenge of killing his son, how can he get it?

Although he also knew that the death of his son Liu Wei was not Li Sheng's fault, Zhang Yi, the murderer of his son, was under Li Sheng's account at the moment.

As far as Liu Zhang himself is concerned, he does not want to be in the same force as the murderer.

"Well...... this"

Li Sheng was speechless, and he couldn't think of any better solution.

Zhang Yi may be the murderer of Liu Zhang, but for Li Sheng himself, Zhang Yi is undoubtedly the hero who helped him win the city.

Give the hero to the enemy and exchange his life for the enemy's surrender?

Such a thing cannot be justified.

Li Sheng shook his head heavily: "This matter is not okay, Liu Jiyu, since you insist on this, then we can only score on the battlefield." ā€

After speaking, Li Sheng retreated, and the army also retreated like a tide, but everyone knew that Li Shengjun's retreat was just to prepare for his own attack behind.

After all, Li Shengjun came from afar, and the camp had not yet been established, so it was impossible to immediately launch an attack on the CD.

"Well, it's about two or three days away."

The crowd thought.

However, Li Shengjun did not do so.

For ten days in a row, they only saw the sergeants of Li Shengjun outside the city constantly cutting down wood and building something.

They all thought that it was most likely a siege machine, but what kind of siege machine could damage the tall and thick walls of the CD?

The result was finally revealed, and Li Shengjun spent fifteen days to create two hundred specially made things that looked like catapults, and placed them neatly in front of Li Shengjun's camp, about a foot apart from each other, and lined up in four rows.

After that, Li Sheng's army left the camp, still a phalanx, with the shield hand in front, the spear in the center, and the bow and arrow in the back, while the cavalry was divided into two parts, the array left and right.

Li Shengjun's 100,000 horses lined up at the north gate, as if they wanted to put all their attack power in this one place.

The order was given with the excitement of the drums, and after besieging CD City for half a month, Li Shengjun launched its first attack.

It's just that unlike what this group of people in Yizhou knew, Li Sheng's first attack was not to send a large army to charge the city, but to directly use the two hundred specially made things that looked like catapults he had just developed.

The yellow flag waved, and stones the size of a millstone, one after another, came out of such a strange device, and flew high towards the city.

As these big stones fell, the people of Yizhou, who had never seen such a thing, found that such a strange thing that looked like a catapult was still a catapult after all, but it had undergone some improvements, and the number of operators was much smaller than the catapult they knew, and it was also equipped with an arrow shield, and the range was much farther than the catapult they said they knew, and the range was even farther than their own bow and arrow.

Because with a range longer than a bow and arrow, the defenders of the CD can only be in a passive situation.

One by one, the big stones flew up to the city, and the screams of misery resounded in the city, and the defenders of the city, who were still holding the dense defense, suffered heavy losses under the concentrated attack of Li Shengjun's 200 catapults.

The flesh-and-blood, inhumanoid appearance undoubtedly gave a great shock to the recruits in Yizhou.

Within half an hour of the attack, the defenders north of the city could no longer endure it and kept fleeing.

They all rushed down to the city in a hurry, no matter how much the officers and overseers of the Yizhou Army persuaded and threatened them, they didn't dare to go to the city again.

Fear had taken root in their hearts, and was manifested by them, and their words quickly spread to all the people in the Yizhou army.

It was a battle, and the morale of the Yizhou army dropped again, and everyone panicked.
