The gun was made as smooth as a pen in the hand of a writer, and when the flowing blade slashed over each enemy, a series of beads of blood were like strange ruby particles that brought extraordinary beauty to others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is the art of condensing life, and it is the art of killing. And in the whole world, the only person who can use marksmanship so beautifully is him, Zhao Yun, the general of the white horse and silver spear, who has been dormant in the countryside of Nanyang for several years.

Ever since he received the order from his lord Li Sheng to "wait for the opportunity to assist Liu Bei", Zhao Yun's mood has been in a high state of excitement. Although his appearance is as calm as ever, from the small details of his treatment, words and deeds, people can clearly see the importance he attaches to this in his heart. For him, who once accepted Liu Bei's kindness, finally choosing the current path was undoubtedly what he was willing to do. If it weren't for the series of misunderstandings back then, I was afraid that I would not be a county magistrate in this small Wudang County at the moment, doing things that were actually the only party, but following Liu Bei, who lived in benevolence and righteousness, to embark on the road to Jiangling where there was almost no hope.

"I owe Uncle Liu a favor." didn't say it to anyone, Zhao Yun always thought so in his heart.

Regarding Li Sheng's order, he didn't think it was just a simple matter to make his other party shine after a few years of dormancy. He clearly understood that the outcome of this order was related to his lord's future strategic steps.

I also know that my lord's handing over this matter to his side is actually to let himself break off a relationship with Liu Bei: if he can really save Liu Bei in a desperate situation, I am afraid that the kindness he owed Liu Bei at the beginning will be able to be repaid.

"My lord is really a considerate and intelligent man. Well, Yun'er did find a good husband. For Zhao Yun, his lord Li Sheng is not just a simple matter of his allegiance, in fact, Li Sheng is also his brother-in-law and his relative. Zhao Yun would not betray him easily, even if he didn't pay off Liu Bei's favor.

Crossing the Han River directly from Wudang and walking along the south bank of the Yangtze River, because they were all cavalry and there was no drag from the people, Zhao Yun's 2,000 cavalry arrived in Xiangyang earlier than Liu Bei. Since the order sent by Li Sheng had a request to bring them out without causing too much commotion, Zhao Yun and the others did not make the appearance of soldiers coming to the city, but hid the team in the woods west of Xiangyang City, and Ma Liang, who accompanied the army, entered the city to deal with this matter. Fortunately, the relationship between Li Sheng and Cai Mao is not too bad, and there is such a big rich man as Surabaya in Xiangyang City, after spending some money, the west gate of Xiangyang City was opened for half an hour for Ma Liang, Yi and others, and let Ma Liang and them leave Xiangyang. This thing went smoothly, and it didn't alarm too many people, but it also made Zhao Yun bored for a while.

The Yi who came out of Xiangyang had their own Zhao Yun arranged for the partial generals around them to lead a team of cavalry to escort them to the south. As for Zhao Yun, they left for Dangyang when they came out. Because it is the only way from Yangyang to Gangneung, although it is a small city, it is definitely much easier to ambush there than to ambush on the edge of Xiangyang.

After seven days of ambush on the banks of the Nanzhang River to the west of Dangyang, Zhao Yun's team was never discovered.

Of course, most of the officials in Jingzhou were anxious to observe the movements of Xiangyang and ignore the reasons for the changes in their own territory, but more importantly, since Li Shengjun subdued the Shanyue people, he introduced the Shanyue people's unique methods of hiding traces, trap-setting methods, and other advantages into his army.

Under the training of the instructors of the Shanyue people, Zhao Yun's cavalry became even more secretive, and many of them were able to ambush in a forest, allowing others to search for a day without being discovered.

Thanks to the blessing of ambushing Smooth, Zhao Yun was able to clearly see everything that happened on this battlefield. From Liu Bei's coming to Dangyang to sleep outside the city, to Cao Chun's night attack on tiger and leopard riding, to the collapse of Liu Bei's army, Zhao Yun can see it clearly. He naturally also knew that Liu Bei's wife and children were all trapped in the battle.

After knowing that Liu Bei had run safely to the other side of the Nanzhang River under Zhang Fei's escort, and that his life was not in danger for the time being, how to rescue Liu Bei's wife who was trapped in the battle became Zhao Yun's greatest concern.

He knew Liu Bei's personality and understood that he might not value his wife, but he was very fond of his descendants. In Wudang, he is very close to Xinye, although he did not specifically inquire, but all kinds of news about Xinye Liu Bei fell into his ears from time to time, including the news that Liu Bei often held his son and led his daughter to the street - this is already very indicative of some things.

"Uncle Huang has been bumpy for half his life to have this bit of blood. Since I was ordered by the Lord to help Uncle Huang get out, I should also protect the safety of Uncle Huang's family. Anyway, I still owe Uncle Huang a favor, and if he rescued his children, it would be considered to be repaid. Zhao Yun thought so, and he had no opinion on his own decision with Zhou Rui and Ma Liang. After all, Ma Liang was a person who did not understand military affairs, and Zhou Rui had been instructed by Li Sheng before coming here: "For this battle, everything must be ordered by General Zhao Yun." ”

The unobjection of everyone and the little selfishness in their hearts made Zhao Yun quickly rush to the battlefield where the tiger and leopard cavalry were fighting with Liu Bei. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night and the silence of the war horses, Zhao Yun arrived very close to them without alerting Cao Chun and them. That was when Cao Chun and Xu Chu separated.

Although he never really heard what they said, nor did he see clearly who was in the carriage they were going to escort, Zhao Yun still relied on some afterimages he saw half a mile away combined with his own cognition of this whole thing, and quickly judged that the carriage on the opposite side that was escorted by Xu Chu to the north was the target he wanted to target this time: a car loaded with Liu Bei's small family - if it was a car for ordinary people or Liu Bei's courtiers, With Xu Chu's high position, he would never show such a cautious attitude.

"There's a big guy in that car, and our first goal is to get the car off from the strong general." Zhao Yun glanced at Ma Liang and Zhou Rui, who were listening to him, and then said his plan in detail: "They took the carriage and escorted so many people, they are not as good as us in terms of speed." Therefore, we can go around in front of them and ambush them first, and wait far away. Since our task is only to save people, there is no need for us to entangle with them too much except that it is necessary to disrupt their formation and contain their strength. Therefore, I plan to divide the team into three parts, the first part of about 1,000 people led by me to directly raid their own formation and contain the guards of the generals, the second part of about 700 people led by Zhong Min as a special force to directly intercept the opponent's car, and the third part is led by Ji Chang to lead the rest of the soldiers to meet the battlefield two miles away. As soon as we succeed, we must flee immediately, and we must not be dragged by the enemy. ”

"Good!" Hearing Zhao Yun's meticulous arrangement, Ma Liang and Zhou Rui smiled and looked at each other and nodded heavily. They all admired Zhao Yun's quick wit. After all, everything is random from the beginning of this incident to the decision to the decision, and it can be said that it belongs to the kind of emergency, and it is absolutely very rare for Zhao Yun to quickly make such a careful deployment when encountering such an emergency.

"Strong! It's no wonder that the lord replied to give him a task similar to General Wei Yan's need to take charge alone. It seems that he is not only strong in martial arts. Ma Liang, who left with his detachment, sighed and thought, but in his heart he admired Li Sheng's wisdom in knowing and employing people - it is really a very difficult thing to entrust an important task to a little-known general.

A raised hill rests quietly on the earth, and a winding road passes below the hillock, which brings some attention to the hillock. The hillock is not high, so six or seven zhang up and down, but the square circle is huge, and the vast area covers nearly a hundred zhang. A lush forest grows on the slopes of a small hill, not very dense, but it is a grassy wormwood, which can hide its form from the soldiers who lurk in the shadows.

This is the only way for Dangyang to go to Xiangyang. Although for Jingzhou, which is basically flat land, as long as you choose the right direction, you will basically run to the ground, but generally speaking, people are still used to walking on the road, which has been prescribed by the state since the pre-Qin period and is maintained by special personnel.

The avenue is easier to walk than the wilderness, and this has long taken root in the hearts of the people as a psychological stereotype.

Liu Bei led the people south to walk this way, and now Xu Chu is carrying the loot he captured and the prisoners back to the north. Nearly 10,000 people walked step by step along the road compacted by loess, all of which were crying and shaking the sky. As the victorious side, it plundered other people's people, and naturally it was not too polite to them. Although they were not arbitrarily slashed and killed, they kept shouting and urging, and there were loud beatings and whips. As victors, they mostly like to act as conquerors against the people of the newly conquered land, and they manifest this sense of superiority in their actions, as long as they do not go too far, and there is basically no one to say anything.

Xu Chu came with the people. They didn't walk very fast, only a little faster than normal walking, but this was also unbearable for the people behind them. The crying at the back of the team rang out for nearly two hours, making Xu Chu, who was walking in front, depressed. He felt a little tired, although he knew that his physical strength could still support it, but his heart was very tired. He looked at the sky, and then at the wilderness around him, and finally planned to take a good rest, so that the soldiers who had followed him all night could recover their strength and have more energy to cope with the boredom of the next part of the journey. He had no way to solve the noise of the people, and all he wanted to do now was to turn a blind eye and ignore it, that is, to quickly hand over these troubles to his lord and let them take charge of these things. This was his wishful thinking, and it was the reason why he wanted to rest now: if he hadn't let his energy recover a little, he couldn't have been sure that he would not have completely gotten out of the noise on the road. He knew his own business, and he knew that his patience had reached a very low level.

The resting place Xu Chu chose was located on the lower edge of the hillock. He had his team stand with their backs to the hillock, and surrounded the people, with the main defensive forces on the outside, leaving only about a hundred elite men in the center as a mobile force, and laying down a glaive array with a thin back cover.

Obviously, Xu Chu completely focused his defense on the wide plain in front of him. As for the hillock against which his back rested, it was ignored because it was blocked by woods and was considered impossible to ambush the cavalry. Of course, this is not completely ignored, Xu Chu laid two hundred cavalry on the back, which is enough to deal with the siege of about a thousand or more infantry. Judging from Xu Chu's observations, it seems that there are no less than a thousand infantry buried in this sparse wood—a naturally slightly weak garrison of three hundred is enough.

I don't know that a cavalry has been hidden on the other side of the hill, which is Xu Chu's biggest mistake in this battle, and it is also the origin of the final defeat of the whole battle. When the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded behind Xu Chu and them, it was attacked with lightning speed, Xu Chu and they had nothing but stunned.

Although they reacted quickly and quickly prepared to meet the enemy, in the midst of a series of reactions, they were still puzzled: "How did the enemy come from behind?" ”

They didn't know that the sparse woods that they thought couldn't hide the enemy's figure were actually unexpectedly giving Zhao Yun a chance to hide. They were so dependent on traditional habits that when they saw the sparse woods and the bushes that could not hide their bodies, they thought that everything was all right, and forgot to send soldiers to search the place, and forgot that the raised knoll was also something that could block their view.

This is their carelessness, and carelessness is the intention to fail.

Zhao Yun's attack began. As a strong martial general, he rushed to the front of the team like many brave generals, and a steel spear in his hand splashed out like raindrops, and flashed like a pear blossom, stabbing the enemies in front of him one by one. Although an enemy is basically only assigned one shot because of his speed, this shot is extremely deadly, or in the throat or chest, brilliant blood flowers bloom in the air, taking away fresh lives one by one. If it were daytime, all of this would have been a kind of eerie splendor, but this was at night. In the dark of night, these are difficult to see.

"Damn...... Seeing that his elite tiger and leopard riders were easily taken away by the other party like a paper man, the anger in Xu Chu's heart was needless to say. Although he could also see that his soldiers were so vulnerable not because their own martial arts were not good but because the other party's martial arts were too high, he still had the feeling of being insulted: he was such an adult here, but the other party was killing towards the other side as if he didn't see it, and he killed so rhythmically and smoothly, which clearly showed that he didn't take his own eyes seriously. Xu Chu was anxious, and suddenly got up in annoyance, picked up the big knife in his hand, flew the war horse under him, and rushed towards Zhao Yun, and shouted uncontrollably: "Come and be arrogant, and turn the general Xu Chu again." After drinking, the distance between him and Zhao Yun was extremely close, and a tiger-headed knife in his hand quickly beckoned to Zhao Yun's head with the sound of whirring.

Xu Chu is the first fierce general in force under Cao Cao's account, and the war horse under his crotch is also extremely majestic and fast.

Although he shouted out loud from a very far away, as soon as the words fell, he came to Zhao Yun's side and handed over the move, no matter how he looked at it, he was also a little suspicious of sneak attack. Of course, Xu Chu himself did not admit this so-called sneak attack, and Zhao Yun himself did not take this seriously.

The tiger's head knife and the bright silver spear slammed together, and a dazzling fire burst out of the darkness.

In the firelight, Zhao Yun's handsome and resolute face and Xu Chu's rugged and somewhat hideous expression appeared together.

Both sides gritted their teeth and fought hard, and the two of them, who were involuntarily taking their horses back three steps in terms of the huge force on each other, shook their arms that were slightly numb, and looked at each other in a daze. They were all amazed at each other's level and equal to their own.

"General Xu Chu? I'm afraid you are the first military general under Cao Cao. Zhao Yun stood with a gun in his hand, and the sharp silver spear straightened in his hand, pointing at Xu Chu from afar: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, do you dare to fight with me?" There seemed to be a kind of excitement about meeting an opponent, and Zhao Yun directly proposed to Xu Chu in this melee.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong? Nobody, I haven't heard of your name. But you still seem to have a few skills, so I'll play with you, and I hope you don't disappoint me. It's a gamble with your life. "Xu Chu is a straight person, he is not stupid, he just thinks of what he says. At the moment, he directly said his perception of Zhao Yun, but he simply provoked the anger in Zhao Yun's heart. This feeling of completely looking down on others also made Zhao Yun extremely unbearable.

"Good!" Zhao Yun was angry, but he became more and more calm, the hand holding the gun grasped the cold barrel of the gun hard, and his eyes showed a perseverance like an eagle's eye.

"Look at the guns!" With Zhao Yun's roar, he urged the horse forward, and the spear in his hand shot out like lightning. There is no so-called gorgeous and fancy, there are just plain and fast. "Thorn", the most basic and easiest trick in marksmanship, is now full of deadly aura in the hands of Zhao Yun, a master who uses a gun, to use its power and no longer those so-called gorgeous moves.

"Good come!" Xu Chu's eyes lit up, and he rode up to meet him, and the tiger head knife in his hand slashed at the tip of the spear stabbed by Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun stabbed fast and the tip of the spear was so small, Xu Chu relied on his own sense of qi to grasp the light that suddenly flashed in the darkness. "Ding" struck again, and the two of them took a few steps back with their horses, and once again they were evenly divided.

"It's so strong." Two consecutive draws made both men admire each other's toughness.

They reflexively took a few steps back, widened the distance between the two, and once again prepared their horses for battle. At this moment, Xu Chu's heart was completely immersed in the pleasure of going head-to-head with a master like Zhao Yun. He is a straight person, and there is no way to achieve the so-called dual purpose, and naturally it is impossible to use the peripheral vision of his own eyes to check the situation on the entire battlefield. "Defeat this guy called Changshan Zhao Zilong." It was the only thought he had at the moment.

The full fighting spirit inspired the amazing momentum of the two masters. Under the oppression of such momentum, there is no one in the place where the two of them are five feet round. A large empty field appeared strangely on this battlefield, becoming a bloody arena for the two to duel.

For Xu Chu's persistence, the calm Zhao Yun was overjoyed. According to his original plan, Xu Chu should have been contained here by himself. Originally, he was still thinking in his heart, how to achieve this.

But for now, it seems that you don't want to stop him or tease him, as long as you have a good fight with him, everything can be achieved according to your plan.

"That's good." Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the void opposite.

It was a hazy black in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of masters like Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, although it was a little blurry, they could still see a little clearly, and there was no feeling of blindness.

Of course, this kind of blur is difficult to get used to, but fortunately, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu can not only see this blur with much stronger eyesight than ordinary people, but they can also understand each other's movements by relying on their own sense of qi. In fact, this kind of induction of qi is the biggest support for them to fight in the dark at the moment.

The wind was blowing, and the whistling air seemed to roll up the sand on the ground, making the night even more unpredictable. There was no moon, no starlight, and no torches, all the people were groping and fighting in the dark, except for Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, most of them didn't understand who their enemies were. They could only rely on the sight that could only reach about five feet to determine whether the person who suddenly appeared in front of them was their own person or an enemy. This can be distinguished, after all, the armor of the tiger and leopard riding is much more complete than that of Zhao Yunjun.

The battle continued, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu were still fighting in the dark, and their soldiers were still divided into two factions that were hostile to each other, and they couldn't stop using the blades in their hands to find the enemy's life. Everything was still in the midst of a scuffle, except for the one hundred and ten who had never moved on the other end.

Although he was in a fierce battle with Xu Chu, Zhao Yun still saw the nearly 100 untouched elite people through the aftermath of his own vision. "It seems that this General Xu Chu values Liu Bei's family very much. Even at this point, they were never put on the battlefield. There is no way, these people can only be left to Zhou Rui to send it by himself. Zhao Yun thought helplessly. This is also a matter of no choice, after all, it is already very exhausting for him to fight against Xu Chu at the moment. If he is allowed to deal with the elites who have not moved, it is obviously impossible.

Zhao Yun more or less knew what the upper limit of his ability was.

The time of the night passed quietly. The sound of horses' hooves suddenly startled again on this battlefield made both sides in the field invariably lift their hearts. For Zhao Yun, this newly arrived cavalry team is very likely to be Zhou Rui, who has made an appointment with him, and it is also very likely that Cao Cao's army suddenly returned from the rear. Although this is not very likely, at this moment, the complete darkness between heaven and earth can involuntarily magnify the hesitation in people's hearts. There is no way to stop this, this is true for Zhao Yun, and it is the same for Xu Chu.

The uncertainty in his heart led the two to fight more urgently. Because they weren't sure if it was their own reinforcements, they both wanted to kill each other even harder. However, where is it so easy to solve the duel between masters, heads-up with the same level, and complete parity. Although both sides have their hearts, the final outcome is a headache for them. In the midst of each other's tricks, they were helplessly caught in the whirlpool of bitter battles.

The sound of horses' hooves finally fell silent. The new arrivals rushed into the battlefield at once, fighting fiercely against one side of the field. As the screams sounded one after another, Xu Chu's face became more and more heavy. He was not the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, but because of the relationship that often followed Cao Cao, he was quite familiar with the people in the tiger and leopard cavalry. At this moment, he could hear that it was his own subordinate who made a miserable scream.

"It's the enemy." Xu Chu was annoyed, but he hated Zhao Yun's "despicability" in his heart. Now, if he doesn't understand what kind of calculation Zhao Yun is planning to come here, he can really become a general. He immediately slashed out a few knives and wanted to leave like this, but he didn't want Zhao Yun's gun style to be so varied, it seemed that the straightforward way of playing at the beginning suddenly became this damn "soft gun", although it seemed that every shot was weak and weak, but every shot prevented him from turning around and retreating. Xu Chu knew that Zhao Yun had clearly seen his inner thoughts.

"Damn it." Xu Chu roared angrily, but there was nothing he could do. Facing Zhao Yun, he felt powerless for the second time in his life - the first time, he was powerless against Cao Cao, that time he was lucky to be subdued by Cao Cao, and now he can only watch powerlessly watch the victory in his hands be taken away by the enemy little by little.

Helpless......
