Five days before the Battle of Shucheng, there was a water village in the mouth. Zhou Tai looked at a letter carefully in the dim light, and there were all the generals in the hall, and there was another person standing in the hall, who was the messenger.

After Zhou Tai half a ring, he took a long breath and said, "You go back first and tell the Metropolitan Governor, and a certain family will definitely do it." ”

When the soldier dragged his tired body out of the hall slowly, one of Zhou Tai's lieutenants asked, "General, do you really want to enter Chaohu Lake at the invitation of Governor Qiao?" ”

"Hmm!"

"But general, we are under the command of Governor Lu, so accepting Governor Qiao's order without authorization will cause the Governor to be unhappy!" The lieutenant seemed worried.

But Zhou Tai didn't think so, patted the unknown lieutenant on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, the Metropolitan Governor is not a stingy person. Besides, although my wet mouth is under the control of the metropolitan governor, it is really an important place on the eastern front, and it is okay to listen to Qiao Dudu's for a while. Okay, pass on my general, the navy will set off tomorrow and attack the Cao army water village in Hefei with Gan Xingba. ”

-----------------------------------------------------------Boundary-----------------------------------------------

On the wall of Shucheng, Qiao Ren stared at Cao Jun's Dazhai five miles away in a daze, wearing a military uniform, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"The Grand Duke! It's been ten days, and Cao's army has neither attacked the city nor withdrawn its troops, what is the reason? Sun Lang, who went up the wall with Qiao Ren, asked.

"It's moving!"

"What's moving?" Sun Lang followed Qiao Ren's gaze and saw that Zhang Liao's camp was dusty. "Zhang Liaojun has moved, so I will go and inform the generals."

"Go ahead!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Liao stood outside the moat with a big knife and shouted: "The enemy general dares to go out of the city to fight." ”

Zhang Liao wanted to go head-to-head.

This is really difficult for Qiao Ren, it was very common to go heads-up in front of the battle in the pre-Three Kingdoms era, because most of the princes' armies at that time were peasants who had just put down their hoes, not to mention a simple military formation, even if they could have a little combat effectiveness, it would be good, and the number of troops was not large, as long as the main general died, there was only one way to be defeated, so it was very popular at that time to go heads-up before the battle. After the three-point world, Wei, Shu and Wu all strengthened the training of soldiers, the quality of the army improved and the number increased, and the battle formation relied more on resourcefulness and overall strength, and individual martial arts and courage were secondary.

However, it is still in the period of the former Three Kingdoms, and heads-up is still the mainstream, and if the Wu army does not dare to fight, it will greatly damage morale. Qiao Ren looked around at the generals behind him, looking at the force one by one, Zhang Liao's force was ninety-five, if he was not beheaded, the force would be at least eighty-five. Unfortunately, Song Qian, who has the strongest personal martial arts on Qiao Ren's side, is only eighty-four. Moreover, during the Battle of Hefei in later generations, Song Qian and Jia Hua were both injured by Zhang Liao, which asked Qiao Ren to rest assured that he would fight.

At this moment, Qiao Ren is extremely nostalgic for Gan Ning. 'Meng De has Zhang Liao, and there is Gan Xingba', Gan Ning is no one who can be Zhang Liao's opponent.

"Haha! Wu Gou was timid and did not dare to go out of the city to fight. Zhang Xi, who was in the formation for Zhang Liao, almost fell off his horse with a smile.

Zhang Liao outside the city has been in battle for so long, if Qiao Ren doesn't make a decision, his morale will really hurt. Song Qian and Huang Ce went out of the city to fight. Shao'er led my cavalry to suppress the formation. ”

"Whoa!" The generals of Eastern Wu on the city wall couldn't hold it back for a long time.

With a bang, the huge city gate was opened, and Song Qian came out with a halberd in his hand and Huang Ce with a big knife on his horse. "Brother Huang, I'll go first, if not, you can be together."

Song Qian really came out of the crowd alone, slapped his horse forward, and shouted: "I am the general Song Qian, when will Zhang Liao not be the leader?" ”

Zhang Liao sneered when he heard this, kicked the horse's belly, carried the big knife in one hand, and killed Song Qian. Song Qian was not afraid, holding the halberd high in his right hand and facing Zhang Liao.

touched, Zhang Liao's knife slammed into the crescent moon of Song Qian's halberd. A huge force came from the knife, almost knocking Song Qian off his horse. After the two of them joined together, they slapped their horses past, and Song Qian's right arm was still trembling, "This Zhang Liao has a lot of strength."

said that it was too late and that was fast, Zhang Liao lifted the reins after patting the horse, and the horse's head turned around and roared from one meter out of Song Qian's left hand, and the big knife slashed horizontally. Song Qian reacted half a beat late, and it was too late to block it with a halberd, so he had to dodge it with an iron plate bridge. Zhang Liao's knife face passed by Song Qian's face, taking away a few wisps of green silk, and shocked Song Qian's cold sweat.

"Come and don't be rude, eat me." Song Qian suffered a big loss when he fought with his hands, and in a hurry, he held the halberd with both hands and circled it on the top of his head, and pulled it down from an angle of forty-five degrees, but he used the halberd as a heavy weapon. The halberd can be stabbed straight, picked, hooked, pecked, but it is rare to use it for splitting. But fortunately, Song Qian's painting halberd is a double-sided Fangtian painting halberd, and the weight is not light, and it is also very powerful.

But Zhang Liao's face was as usual, and he pushed Song Qian's halberd away with a seemingly understatement, Song Qian's heavy blow was as ineffective as hitting cotton, and the weight of the halberd was completely invisible. Zhang Liao has been following Lu Bu for a long time, Lu Bu can be said to be a master of painting halberds, Zhang Liao can be said to have obtained Lu Bu's true biography, and Song Qian's moves are completely insufficient.

After Shihe, Zhang Liao's face changed abruptly, and he held the knife with both hands four times in succession, all of which were so powerful that Song Qian was difficult to parry, and he wanted to fall off his horse.

At this moment, a general wearing pale golden fine armor entered the room, and a big knife beckoned to Zhang Liao. It was Huang Ce who saw that the situation was not right and stepped forward to support.

Huang Ce's martial arts are full of Huang Zhong's true biography, and he is good at defense, and a big knife makes it extremely heavy, without fancy but also without flaws. In this way, Song Qian mainly attacked Huang Ce and defended, but the cooperation complemented each other. However, Zhang Liao's breath is not chaotic, and he still fights vividly, and a big knife is sometimes dexterous and sometimes heavy. Lu Bu doesn't only know how to draw halberds, painting halberds are known as the combination of all weapons, but everyone who uses halberds is basically proficient in eighteen weapons, and Zhang Liao, who has won Lu Bu's true biography, naturally can't only know swordsmanship. For a while, whether it was marksmanship, lance technique, spear technique, and golfa all greeted the two.

But Qiao Ren, who was standing on the city wall, had mixed feelings in his heart, Huang Ce and Song Qian, the two generals, were not Zhang Liao's opponents, seeing that Zhang Liao on the field was about to dominate the situation, Qiao Ren sighed, since they were all two to one, they didn't care about three to one, four to one.

"Zixia will go to block Zhang Xi, and Wen Xiang will also go down to help the two generals Song and Huang." Qiao Ren made up his mind, if he couldn't do martial arts, he would already win by numbers.

"Drive!" Just when Song Qian and Huang Ce were about to be overwhelmed, Sun Shao didn't wait for Qiao Ren's order and went towards Zhang Liao.

Although the Sun family has ancestral knife skills, the Gudian knife is quite similar to the Pu knife, which is only one and a half meters long, and it is really shorter than the horse weapon that is two or three meters away. As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong, so the generals of the Sun family all used the spear (its practical use is a horse lance) during the horse war, and I don't know if this marksmanship is also ancestral.

The spear is in and out of the dragon, but the horse lance is extremely heavy and the lance is very tough, and can be attacked with horsepower and bullets. Three different weapons, at the same time towards Zhang Liao, Rao is Zhang Liao's martial arts are strong, and he is also a little in a hurry. And Zhang Xi on the side wanted to come out to help, but was stared at by Jia Hua, who also used a halberd on the side. Zhang Xi has fought with Zhang Liao, but he only knows his martial arts, and Song Qian can walk more than twenty times in Zhang Liao's hands, and his martial arts are naturally above him. And Jia Hua on the opposite side was the same as Song Qian in terms of weapons and armor, and Zhang Xi thought that Jia Hua's martial arts were also as strong as Song Qian, and he didn't dare to fight casually for a while.

And what he didn't know was that although Jia Hua's martial arts had risen rapidly, he was still hovering in his seventies, and he Zhang Xi himself was almost like this.

Not long after Sun Shao came up with a gun, Xu Sheng finally came late, looking at Zhang Liao, who was 'beaten' by three people, and didn't know whether to go on or not for a while. If the four generals of the Wu army besieged Zhang Liao and did not have any results, it would be regarded as a shame to be thrown to his grandmother's house, so Xu Sheng hesitated.

But although Qiao Ren's strength on the city wall has also risen to sixty-six, he still doesn't understand the heart of a warrior, and shouts: "Wen Xiang is on the speed!" ”

Xu Sheng gasped, understanding that he was a general, not a simple martial artist. Xu Sheng originally used a horse lance with a crescent moon, but this kind of weapon is wide open and closed, and now Zhang Liao still has a foothold there, even if he kills the general, he can't use it.

When Xu Sheng was in a dilemma, he suddenly had an idea when he touched the carved bow hanging on the horse. Pretended to draw the bow with an arrow, and aimed for a long time. At this time, Zhang Xi, who was originally confronting Jia Hua, shouted: "General, be careful of cold arrows. ”

Zhang Liao was almost hit by Sun Shao's horse lance for a moment, and Zhang Liao couldn't help the three of them for a long time even if he was strong in martial arts. took advantage of this to sell a flaw, jumped out of the battle, and said: "Bully less with more, hum!" Ben will be tired today, and he will fight again tomorrow. ”

Watching Zhang Liao withdraw his troops, Qiao Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he was extremely hopeful that Gan Ning and Zhou Tai would be able to attack Cao's port in Chaohu Lake as soon as possible. Otherwise, even the group beating was used today, and it was said that if Zhang Liao came again, Qiao Ren wouldn't know what to do.

Zhang Liao returned to his own village, his clothes and armor were already soaked, and he was exhausted after fighting hard for half an hour, and it was difficult to even take off his clothes at this time, so he could only be helped by two guards to help Zhang Liao remove his armor.

At this time, Jiang Ji hurriedly walked in, still holding a letter in his hand, "The general is not good!" ”

"What's the matter with the military advisor?" Zhang Liao was drinking water, and when he heard Jiang Ji's voice, he hurriedly put down the bowl and asked.

Jiang Ji handed the letter to Zhang Liao and said: "General Zhang is not good, Zhou Tai and Chaohu Gan Ning led the navy to attack the Xuzhou navy in Chaohu's water village, and the Xuzhou navy in the village was wiped out. Now Zhou Tai and Gan Ning have about 5,000 troops in one place, and they are near Hefei. ”

Hearing that Zhang Liao stood on the spot, Cao Ying specially instructed Zhang Liao to defend Hefei before his expedition to the west to resist Sun Ce. But now, he came to attack Qiao Ren, and his nest was surrounded by Zhou Tai and Gan Ning. Although there are still 5,000 Li Dian in Hefei City, and there are 4,000 soldiers in Liyang, Chaohu Lake has become the territory of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and I don't know when Sun Ce, who built a business, suddenly went crazy and attacked Hefei directly from Chaohu.

Jiang Ji obviously understands this, so he has been silent, he is a person who is good at protecting himself, and he will not take the initiative to withdraw the army.

Zhang Liao looked at the gray mark on the top of the tent, and finally sighed half-loudly, "Withdraw!" It is still important to keep Hefei. ”

"General Lejin has been sent to Shouchun for recuperation, and it should be almost there. The wounded were also sent back to the fat before four days. It seems that Jiang Ji has long known that the withdrawal of troops is not a matter of time, and he has made preparations in advance.

"Hmmm! The military advisor is really meticulous. Someone came and ordered the three armies to get ready. Zhang Liao sat on Jun Dunzi dejectedly, and suddenly there was a burst of excitement.

"The military division is going slowly, a certain family thinks that our army will withdraw like this, and Qiao Ren from Shucheng will not come to pursue, it is better to give him a big gift before leaving." Zhang Liao said.

"What does the general want to do?"

"When we came, we saw a dense forest on the official road three miles away, our army might as well send troops here to ambush, if he Qiao Ziyan dares to chase, hum!"

"Okay, general, our army will withdraw tomorrow, and it is better to send troops to the dense forest today for the sake of careful work."
