Yan Liang was so angry that his nose was about to smoke, but he was helpless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info don't look at him as the number one general in Yuan Shao's army, one can beat Han Fu three, but Han Fu is the former army commander, he must listen to Han Fu, otherwise Yuan Shao will blame him, and there will be absolutely no good fruit for him to eat.

"Hold the weight, hold the weight, it's all this time, what kind of celebrity is still pretending." Yan Liang secretly scolded a few words, called a military marquis, and ordered him to lead a group of men and horses to swim to the opposite bank to line up.

Qu Junhou's face turned white, this is a death squad, but looking at Yan Liang's distorted face, he didn't dare to say more, turned around and returned to the battle, and took his men to prepare to cross the river.

On the city wall five hundred steps away from Weishui, Liu Xiu put down his clairvoyance and said easily: "Tell Zhu Changshi that the enemy is going to swim across the river." ”

"Whoa." The guards turned around and waved the colored flags in their hands to the heralds standing below the city, who turned on their horses and ran towards the blocking formation in front.

Shi Zhujun, the former governor of the Taiwei Mansion, held the knife, lowered his head slightly, and was closing his eyes to recuperate, when he heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves, he opened his eyes.

The herald grabbed the reins outside the formation and shouted loudly: "The general has an order, the enemy army is about to swim across the river, please Zhu Changshi to deal with it properly." ”

"Whoa." Zhu Jun nodded, stood up straight, and waved his hand to order a counterattack.

A group of crossbowmen began to run, they rushed to a stop eighty paces away from the river bank, and shot at the Yuan soldiers who were swimming in the river with the crossbows in their hands, and the three rows of crossbowmen took turns to rise and fall, the swishing sound was endless, and the crossbow arrows flew over a hundred paces and pierced into the water, stirring up a string of water. Sergeant Yuan, who was swimming across the river, was in a hurry, although he was holding a shield, it was still difficult to keep himself safe, and people were constantly being shot by crossbow arrows, screaming one after another, and a cloud of blood mist rose from the water.

Yan Liang was distressed when he saw it, and shouted repeatedly: "Crossbowman, come forward to cover!" Give it all to me, what are you doing in a daze. Don't you see the brothers fighting hard? ”

The crossbow captain ran over, sweating profusely. "General, we've done our best, you see where they are. Eighty paces from the riverbank, and at least one hundred and thirty paces wide, we couldn't shoot them. They came for their brothers who were swimming in the water. ”

How could Yan Liang not know this truth, he was just so anxious that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he was just looking for trouble with the crossbowmen. The enemy on the opposite bank was very cunning, they were far from the river bank. Outside the standard range of the bows and crossbows of the army, it is not impossible to shoot, but the arrows have already begun to flutter in front of them, and they have no strength at all, let alone accurate, and the damage to them is almost negligible. And the entire river was within their coverage, and it was inconvenient for the soldiers to swim in the water, and they had to guard against a dense stream of crossbow arrows. It's even harder. It's not fair. However, this is also determined by the different postures of the offensive and defensive sides, and the attacking side will have to pay more than the defending side to achieve victory.

After a flurry of arrows. There were dozens more corpses in the water, thanks to the law enforcement team lined up on the shore, facing the rain of arrows, none of the soldiers dared to retreat, after paying a heavy price, finally less than half of the people swam across the river, they climbed ashore as fast as possible, no wonder they unscrewed the water on their bodies, and immediately turned their backs to the water and laid down the formation.

Yan Liang was overjoyed and ordered to continue swimming.

Zhu Jun listened to the drums on the other side of the river. He shook his head contemptuously, waved his hand, and the two foot soldiers rushed out of the big formation. Like hungry tigers, they rushed towards the more than 100 frightened Yuan soldiers, surrounded them, and slashed them vigorously.

These soldiers had just swam fifty paces in full armor and under the rain of arrows, and their physical exertion was too great. Before they recovered, the opponents of these soldiers who had been recuperating for a long time, in the face of four times the number of attacks, although they resisted desperately, they still could not hold out until the arrival of the next batch of reinforcements, and were quickly broken through the formation and slaughtered. The foot soldiers retreated to their own formation, and the crossbowmen, who had rested for a while, fired again, and shot the Yuan soldiers who tried to rush over to support them in a mess.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, Yan Liang paid the price of more than 1,000 people, but he still failed to gain a foothold on the other side. No matter how many men he sent to force the crossing, Zhu Jun would always send twice as many crossbowmen as him to intercept them in time, and after paying half the casualties, the soldiers who could easily climb ashore would then face four or five times the enemy's attack. As soon as the crossbowmen's interception was not enough, the huge logs would whizz and whizz at them, ravaging the soldiers in the water.

Yan Liang stopped fighting, he ordered the whole army to shrink, and then rushed to see Han Fu, and said to Han Fu, "This battle can't be fought anymore, the other party has the advantage, we died one by one in the past, there is no advantage to take advantage of at all, and so many soldiers have been sacrificed in vain." ”

Han Fu watched it for a long time, and he was also very big-headed. "What then? You can't stop fighting, right? "Of course we can't do it if we don't fight, we should change our tactics."

Yan Liang groaned: "Our advantage is that we have a large number of troops, if we want Liu Xiu to be unable to defend against it, we should increase the crossing point and attack in an all-round way, so that they are unable to defend against it." ”

Han Fu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see the lord and tell him your suggestion." ”

Yan Liang responded with some frustration, turned around and returned to his camp. He couldn't understand why such a war couldn't be discussed with them, the generals on the front line, and he had to let Han Fu and these scholars convey it, what did they know? You may be familiar with the military book, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and when the order is given, the fighter plane has been lost. He heard that no matter how big the battle was, Liu Xiu would always be on the front line in person, and he believed that on the city wall not far away, Liu Xiu would definitely pay attention to every move here, instead of sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army several miles away like Yuan Shao and strategizing.

…… Liu Xiu rode a white horse, like a gust of wind, came to Zhu Jun's camp, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins of the horse to Sun Jian, asked him to wait outside the camp, took Liu He's hand, took Zhang Wei, Sun Ce and other close attendants, and walked into the camp quickly.

Zhu Jun, who had just received the news, stood in front of his big tent and bowed slightly: "I've seen the general." ”

"Well, excuse me." Liu Xiu waved his hand and walked straight towards the big tent.

Zhu Jun took a step back, lifted the tent door sideways, and invited Liu Xiu and Liu He to go in, and then followed into the big tent. As soon as the tent door entered, Zhang Wei and Sun Ce pressed the ring knife and guarded the tent door one left and one right. During the deliberations between the hussar general and Zhu Changshi, no one was allowed to enter.

The big tent was a little messy, with pens and ink, maps, and a plate of unfinished food on the table, and it seemed that Zhu Jun was studying the war just now.

"Had a good day." Liu Xiu found a vacant seat and sat down and praised it.

Zhu Jun was unmoved. Listening quietly, after a while: "General, today is just a temptation, once the other party attacks in an all-out way." The weakness of our troops will be revealed, and Yuan Shao will definitely find the weakness when the time comes. ”

"Zhu Changshi is not arrogant or impatient, no wonder Duan Gong said that you are a famous general, but unfortunately your luck is not very good." Liu Xiu laughed softly, patted his thigh and said, "However, gold will shine wherever it is, Zhu Changshi must be patient." ”

Zhu Jun smiled helplessly. Bowed his head. He is almost forty years old this year, and he has already gone through half of his life, and no one will believe that he has no intention of making contributions. But as Duan Cheng said, his luck was not very good. When he fought the Yellow Turban, he made many achievements, and he was about to rise step by step, but he never thought that the Yuan family would rebel. Yuan Shu became a traitor, and his credit was also in vain. He was unwilling to obey the Yuan family, so he returned to Luoyang. As a result, he was snubbed by Song Feng for more than half a year, and it was not until Duan Cheng was in charge of the army that he was turned into the governor of the Taiwei Mansion. followed Duan Cheng to fight in the Kanto region for a few years, although everyone worked hard, but after all, the strength was not as good as the Yuan family, and there were no good feats over the years, and four or five years passed. Four or five years, how many more years can he live? Look at the hussar general in front of him, he is a major general of the country when he has just been established. looked at Zhu Jun's somewhat lonely expression.

Liu Xiu could roughly guess what he was thinking at the moment. Zhu Jun is a good scholar, but he is not the kind of Confucian who reads the contrary, he attaches great importance to the use of the world. He is a Huiji person, but he does not have the kind of delicate spirit of Jiangnan people, on the contrary, he is tall and strong, at first glance. It's more like a northerner, and he has a straight temperament, and he has a taste that would rather bend than bend. This is also the result of Emperor Guangwu's hundred years of cultivation, and of course it can also be said to be an ancient relic. Whether the Han people in this year are scholars or not, the courage and heroism in their blood are still there, and they are far from the cowardly appearance of later generations.

Liu Xiu waited for a while, and then asked, "Judging from your experience, when will Yuan Shao launch a general attack?" ”

Zhu Jun retracted his somewhat dazed gaze and cheered up, "According to the analysis of the situation on the battlefield today, there should be one day, probably the day after tomorrow, he should launch a full-scale attack." ”

"If he launches a full-scale attack, how long will you be able to hold out?"

"Two to three days." Zhu Jun replied confidently: "The water is too narrow, and the role it can play is limited after all. ”

Liu Xiumo rubbed his fingers and pondered for a moment: "Two to three days is enough." If I give you 5,000 men, will you be able to stay here for two days? ”

"No problem." Zhu Jun perked up and straightened up.

"As long as you can block it for two days, after two days, you can abandon the Weishui defense line and retreat into Xinji County." Liu Xiu put away his smile and said solemnly: "However, Xinji can't be lost." ”

Zhu Jun frowned, pondered for a moment, and then replied in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, general, I will definitely be able to hold Xinji." ”

"Okay, I'm sure you can do it." Liu Xiu glanced at Liu He, Liu He got up, walked outside the tent, and said to Sun Ce, who was standing inside the tent door, "Go and invite your father." ”

Sun Ce responded and walked out of the camp quickly. It didn't take long for Sun Jian, who was waiting outside the camp, to hurry over, salute Liu Xiu, and salute Zhu Jun. Although the Sun family is from Wu County, Fuchun and Zhu Jun's hometown Shangyu are not far apart, and they can be regarded as the township party, but Zhu Jun does not look down on Sun Jian very much, firstly, because Sun Jian was born in a poor family and does not study, and secondly, Sun Jian once attached to Yuan Shu, and in Zhu Jun's eyes, Yuan Shu is rebellious.

"I'll let Wentai cooperate with you." Liu Xiu said softly: "You are the main general, and Wentai is the deputy general." After I leave, you will be in charge of the war here. ”

He gave Liu He a look, and Liu He got up and walked in front of the stunned Zhu Jun, offering a clairvoyant in both hands. Looking at the copper pipe carved with delicate patterns, Zhu Jun suddenly felt a burst of blood surging on his head. He knew what the copper pipe was for, and he knew what the copper pipe represented. Under Liu Xiu's account, only the generals of their own army will be equipped with clairvoyance, and Liu Xiu gave him this, which means that from now on, he will become a general who can fight independently under Liu Xiu's account, instead of an ordinary general who fights with Liu Xiu, and the opportunity for meritorious service has greatly increased.

"General......" Although Zhu Jun tried his best to control his emotions, he was still a little excited, he took the clairvoyance with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "General Xie, Lord Xie Weng." ”
