Before the winter, a pouring rain, it rained for a day and a night, the temperature of the dry North China Plain plummeted, the gray clouds hurried south under the cold wind, and the warm and bright sun from time to time through the gap of the churning clouds, the towering Yecheng that stood on the earth for twenty-nine miles long was rendered bright and dark, changing and blurry.

The Qingzhou army camp five miles away from the north gate of Yecheng was more busy than before the heavy rain, the sound of copper whistles, horses' hooves, and footsteps were endless, and the flat camp area was soon trampled into a piece of mud, but the 30,000 soldiers who had just changed into warm winter clothes did not hesitate, held high the battle flag, opened the camp gate mightily, and slowly advanced in the direction of the north gate of Yecheng, completely blocking Yecheng that had been besieged by 80,000 troops on three sides.

In the eager eyes of the eight hundred guards and dozens of generals in a neat line, Liu Cun, who was wearing the armor of an ordinary general, put on a silver helmet, turned over and got on his horse, glanced at the helpless man who followed Zhao Yun behind him, smiled slightly, turned around and patted the neck of the strong war horse under his crotch, and the well-trained eight hundred guards got on the horse together, held high the fiery red handsome flag and walked slowly, following behind the cavalry brigade that walked out of the camp gate at the end, and marched towards the north gate of Yecheng.

Liu Cun smiled at him before he got on the horse, his mood at this time was particularly complicated, and he was also extremely heavy, he was in the front and back of dozens of high-spirited Qingzhou military generals, still wearing the dirty white robe three days ago, and the side by side with him was still the silver armor and silver helmet, the heroic general Zhao Yun, but his strong body and face full of steel needles were still particularly conspicuous.

This unruly and helpless man who is full of unwillingness in his heart is Yan Liang, the general of the Yuan army, who was successfully intercepted and taken down by more than 20,000 soldiers led by Liu Cun three days ago!

Yan Liang's capture was quite helpless.

Three days ago at noon. Yan Liang led 25,000 elite infantry cavalry to the north bank of the Boundary River of Julu for half a day. From a distance, I saw more than 20,000 Qingzhou troops neatly lined up on the south bank of the Jiehe River and Liu Cun's banner flying high in front of the formation. and two wide pontoon bridges connected by hundreds of large and small wooden boats.

Just when Yan Liang was thinking hard about how to deal with the situation in front of him, a young military academy of the Qingzhou Army rode over the pontoon bridge and soon arrived, turned over and dismounted and respectfully conveyed to him the greetings of Liu Cun and the new commander of the Ninth Division, Geng Wu, and finally solemnly challenged:

"Our army is ready for battle, and will not allow any Yuan army soldiers to cross the boundary river and go south to rescue Yecheng, which has been besieged by our 80,000 troops. Eat as soon as possible! As a sign of respect, our army will give way to the pontoon bridge and retreat ten miles to form a formation. ”

Sending away the Qingzhou army envoy, Yan Liang and his generals felt very painful, and they were more worried about the safety of the old nest Yecheng and the families in the city, the Qingzhou army's invincible reputation has long been famous all over the world, and the name of benevolence and integrity of the general Liu Cun are also praised by the world, and even the lord Yuan Shao, who has always been hostile to Liu Cun and slandered in every way, has to admit that Liu Cun is indeed true to his words.

Therefore, although some people still do not believe what the Qingzhou envoy said, the total number of Qingzhou troops besieging Yecheng is as high as 80,000. But no one dared to doubt the cruel reality that Yecheng had been besieged by the Qingzhou army.

But if you want to fight, can you beat the well-equipped Qingzhou Army? In case Liu Cun is not trustworthy. What should I do if I suddenly come halfway through? But if you don't take the taxi, how can you substitute for the main bus? How to deal with the family members who are besieged in Yecheng and are afraid day and night?

Facing the generals and colonels who were arguing endlessly, Yan Liang pondered for a moment and made a decisive decision: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to argue anymore!" The herald ordered the whole army to rest, fill their stomachs as soon as possible, and after half an hour, leave all the cars and drive across the river for a decisive battle, I want to see how high the martial arts skills of the world-famous Liu Zijian are! ”

Half an hour later, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Yuan army waved their troops to the south with the determination to die, and soon found that the Qingzhou army south of the Jiehe River was really true to their word, retreated ten miles away, and waited silently in a position early.

The two armies soon lined up in a formation on the south plain of the boundary river two miles away, and to everyone's surprise, the general Yan Liang rode out alone with a long knife in his hand, and rushed to the Qingzhou army array a hundred steps in front of him without any scruples, and shouted at Liu Cun in front of him A cruel sentence that made the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou army extremely angry:

"Liu Cunxiao'er, do you have the courage to compete with a certain family?"

Liu Cun never even dreamed that Yan Liang would ask to fight with him, and his mouth opened wide in shock in the angry scolding of the soldiers of this army, and he didn't react for a while.

The angry general Zhai Chao was about to fight his horse, and Zhao Yun, who had been accompanying Liu Cun, had already taken the lead, driving the Xiongqi white horse presented by the lord Liu Cun, and rushed towards Yan Liang, who was constantly challenging.

The bold and careful Yan Liang had already seen the silver-armored generals rushing towards Liu Cun's side, but he didn't expect the speed of the war horse under the crotch of this general's crotch to be so fast, and before Yan Liang could adjust the speed of the horse's head, the silver-armored generals had already arrived on a flying horse, and the tip of the cold light shimmered like lightning stabbed Yan Liang's throat.

Yan Liang, who regretted that he was too big, had no choice but to swing the knife rung, who knew that the tip of the spear that made a burst of buzzing and stabbing suddenly floated horizontally, and Yan Liang, who was so frightened that his wrist was about to be cut off, quickly let go, but the spear in his hand changed direction again in an instant, and the "poof" sound pierced into Yan Liang's armpit, and the white horse that was sprinting at high speed under the crotch hissed at the same time, and hit Yan Liang's jujube red war horse fiercely.

"Boom-"

A loud bang suddenly sounded, and the jujube red war horse that was knocked out of a zhang away rolled to the ground, screaming and neighing, the unlucky Yan Liang's majestic body, together with the long knife in his hand and the scattered armor, flew into the air together, and the silver armor general, who was safe and sound, rushed out more than ten zhang with the forward momentum of the war horse, turned the horse's head again, and shot Yan Liang, who fell to the ground and kept rolling.

Just as the soldiers of the two armies were looking at the battle, a shout suddenly arose: "Zilong stop-"

The spear of the silver-armored general was gently raised between the stone and light fire, and the majestic white war horse under the crotch raised its four hooves disdainfully, and crossed the gray-faced Yan Liang on the ground, and the soldiers of the two armies in their throats woke up in shock, and the extremely proud officers and soldiers of Qingzhou cheered in unison, and the soldiers of the Yuan army, whose morale plummeted under the frightened, began to show signs of rout.

Seeing this, Liu Cun ordered loudly, and the banner behind him immediately sent a signal to attack, and the 10,000 cavalry arranged on the two wings of the formation slowly moved in the sound of brass trumpets, like two sickles slashing towards the two wings of the Yuan army array that began to be chaotic, and the twelve spear arrays of the Chinese army also began to advance in the slow rhythm of war drums.
