Bison crossing.

Pei Yuanshao rushed over and hurriedly said, "Bo Qi, Zhou Cang has found it." ”

"What about people?"

"Lord, Zhou Cang is here."

Ma Yue's voice fell, and Zhou Cang's angry response suddenly sounded in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw four soldiers carrying Zhou Cang and walking quickly, Zhou Cang had a feather arrow on his left shoulder, but he was carrying a heavy Fang Tian painting halberd on his right shoulder, and the whole person's battle robe was wet, obviously just climbed up from the water.

Zhou Cang struggled and fell to the ground, and said guiltily: "Lord, Zhou Cang disappointed you, Lu Bu let people save him, and only grabbed his Fang Tian Painting Halberd here." ”

Ma Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Cang up, and said in a condensed voice: "Hurry up, Lu Bu's escape has nothing to do with you, you have done your best." ”

Pei Yuanshao, Guan Hai, and Zhou Cang followed Ma Yue to fight in Nanyang from the beginning, and it was a fateful friendship that came out of blood and fire! For Zhou Cang, Ma Yue still has a different kind of guilt. How many times are the tasks that must die, Ma Yue can't bear Pei Yuanshao and Guan Hai to carry it out, so he can only choose Zhou Cang to go, and there is no difference between intimacy and intimacy in his heart, after all, Zhou Cang joined the Eight Hundred Liukou slightly later than Pei Yuanshao and Guan Hai.

But Zhou Cang has never had a word of complaint, every time he bears the heavy responsibility of death, he is angry, fortunately, Zhou Cang can turn evil into good luck every time, safe and sound, it can really be called a blessing. Ma Yue is cold-blooded, and he doesn't even blink an eye when he kills, but that's against the enemy!

"Someone." Ma Yue said quickly, "Find the soldier Langzhong to heal Zhou Cang's injuries." ”

Zhou Cang hurriedly said: "Lord, Zhou Cang is out of the way. ”

Ma Yue held Zhou Cang's right shoulder and said in a condensed voice: "Zhou Cang, take good care of your injuries, this is a military order!" ”

"Uh~~ Obey."

"Come on, take General Zhou Cang down to treat his injuries."

The four soldiers took the order and carried Zhou Cang forward.

Ma Yue watched Zhou Cang's figure go away, and secretly swore in his heart, Zhou Cang, from now on, General Ben will never let you take on a dangerous mission again! In the future, when the general seizes the grassland, he will divide the entire desert into three pieces, the left side will be given to Pei Yuanshao, the middle will be reserved for Guan Hai's son, and the right one will be given to you, children and grandchildren, hereditary replacement!

"Report~~" The sentence suddenly rushed in, and said sharply, "Lord, Meiji is urgent!" ”

"Huh!?"

"Miji?"

Ma Yue and Jia Xu's faces changed at the same time, Ma Yue waved his hand, and the soldiers gathered around dispersed.

Ju suddenly gasped twice and said: "Lord, since my army marched into the Sea of Death, General Liao Hua sent ten fast horses to search everywhere, and it was not until half an hour ago that he met the probe horses sent by the last general. ”

"Without further ado, what's wrong with Miji?"

"The fast horse sent by General Liao Hua said that a large Han army was found in Linrong and Mayi at the same time, the Linrong Han army was all cavalry, with 30,000 horsemen, and the Han army in Mayi had 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry."

Jia Xu said in a condensed voice: "The Han army in Linrong must be the combined army of Geng Yi and Dong Zhuo, and the Han army in Mayi is Han Fu's army!" ”

Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "How many days ago was this news?" ”

The sentence suddenly responded: "Ten days ago." ”

"Ten days ago?"

Ma Yue let out a low snort, his eyebrows furrowed.

Jia Xu took a breath and said in a low voice: "Linrong is only eight hundred miles away from Meiji, and Mayi is less than four hundred miles away from Meiji. ”

"Even if the public increases the Meiji city wall to five zhang, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the attack of the two armies." Ma Yue frowned and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that these two armies would march so fast!" Now, even if our army rushes back at night, I'm afraid it won't be too late. ”

Jia Xu thought so: "Without five days, the army will not be able to rush back to Meiji, and even if it is reluctantly rushed back to Meiji, it is still sleepy and unable to fight again." ”

"Meiji must be saved! The old and young women and children in the city can not be saved, and the general in the city can not be saved, but Liaohua, Gongzhi, Gao Shun and the life and death brothers who are trapped in the camp, General Ben will never abandon them! Ma Yue Huo Ran turned and said abruptly, "Order, the whole army will rest for the night, and tomorrow will start at dawn and return to the division of Meiji, even if you run only one breath, you must climb back~~"

The sentence suddenly said: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

……

Meiji.

The first night after the soldiers came to the city was spent in calm and calm, and the armies of Pan Feng and Han Sui did not attack overnight, not even a feint to test the surname.

But Guo Tu, Gao Shun, and Liao Hua didn't dare to be careless!

The night is dark, the stars are dim, Guo Tu's thin figure stands solemnly at the head of Meiji City, looking out of the city by the faint starlight, the whole 60,000 troops set up a large camp that stretches for dozens of miles outside Meiji City, and the top of the eye is full of undulating dome tents, the enemy's main general seems to be well versed in the essence of the art of war of encircling three and one, and surrounds the east, north and west gates, but there is no camp or tent outside the south gate.

"Click~~"

In the heavy footsteps, Gao Shun and Liao Hua climbed the city tower hand in hand, and Liao Hua stepped forward and stood side by side with Guo Tu.

"It seems to be okay tonight, but tomorrow~~ the enemy should launch a fierce attack!" Liao Hua said this, turned his head to look at Guo Tu's thin face, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Guo Tu, you have already done everything that should be done, and the rest will be handed over to the last general and Gao Shun, please evacuate overnight." ”

"." Guo Tu frowned and said, "The lord entrusted Meiji City to Xia, how can there be any reason to abandon the city and leave?" The general Hugh wants to say more, and he swears to live and die with Meiji. ”

"Poof!"

"Hmph."

Guo Tu's voice fell, Liao Hua's hand was like lightning, and he slashed heavily on the back of his head with a palm, Guo Tu snorted and collapsed softly, Gao Shun was ready to grab the front and hold on.

Liao Hua said: "General Gao Shun, are you ready?" ”

Gao Shun said: "It's all ready." ”

"Mr. Guo Tu is the left arm and right arm of the lord, and there is no room for error." Liao Hua said in a condensed voice, "Please General escort Mr. out of the city immediately." ”

Gao Shun said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

……

Outside the city of Meiji, Jizhou camp.

Frustrated and standing with his hands in his hands, he was looking up at the starry sky, with a faint worry shrouded in his eyebrows. Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded from behind him, and when he turned around, it was Gao Ran who was slowly coming.

Gao Ran walked behind Fu Zhi and asked in a condensed voice, "Sir is watching the sky at night again?" ”

"yes." Frustrated and frowned, "The stars are dim, only the fierce stars rise in the northwest and shine in the sky. ”

Gao Ran asked worriedly, "What did the gentleman see?" ”

"The corpses are all over the field, and the blood is flowing. ”

"Really?"

Gao Ran replied lightly, walked to the side of Fu Zhi and also looked up at the sky, but what he saw was only a sky full of stars, how different was it from the past?

He shook his head in frustration, how could ordinary people peep through the number of stars? Sometimes, he wished he didn't know the number of stars, because the stars above his head at this moment made him feel extremely uneasy! The emperor star is dim and the stars are shining, this is a sign that the Han family is about to die, and the world will soon be in chaos~~

……

Meiji Castle Head.

Liao Hua Huo Ran turned around, and under the dim firelight, Gao Shun was hurrying over.

"General Gao Shun, why didn't you evacuate with Mr. Guo Tu?"

"As a strategist, it is Mr. Guo Tu's duty to give advice for the lord, but it is not his duty to go into battle to kill the enemy." Gao Shun said indifferently, "However, Gao Shun is a military general under the main public account, how can he escape from the battle?" ”

Liao Hua said in a deep voice: "General Gao Shun, you should be very clear about the situation in Meiji City. ”

"The last general will know." Gao Shun said indifferently, "Meiji City can hold for three days at most, and even if the lord's army can be contacted in time, it will not be able to come back in five days, that is to say, Meiji City will be broken and our army will be defeated." ”

Liao Hua roared: "Since you know, why don't you leave?" ”

Gao Shun asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask why the general didn't leave?" ”

Liao Hua frowned and said: "This general is entrusted by the lord, but he is the main general, how can he abandon the city and leave." ”

Gao Shun said: "The last general is also entrusted by the lord, although he is a deputy general, he does not dare to be arrogant. ”

"Alas~~" Liao Hua sighed and said, "The general is highly talented, no matter the training and command of the troops, he is ten times better, the lord can do without Liaohua, but he can't do without you Gao Shun." And ~~ turned into a public account of the owner, but he was in a high position, and he always felt ashamed every time he thought about it, so he could only stick to the beauty and kill himself to repay. ”

Gao Shun said: "The general can't escape and forget the lord's admonition? ”

"Never give up, never give up!" Liao Hua said in a deep voice, "How can General Ben forget?" At the beginning, in the Suspicious River and in the Changshe, if it wasn't for the lord's desperate rescue to save him, he would have been dead for a long time. ”

"That's it!" Gao Shun stepped forward and stood side by side with Liao Hua, holding the female wall and looking at the endless Han military camp tents outside the city, and said in a deep voice, "We will never give up lightly, and the lord ~~ will never abandon us!" When it is said tomorrow, let the Jizhou army teach our army the blade. ”

"Yes!" Liao Hua slapped his palm on the women's wall, and said in a deep voice, "In this world, only the army of the lord is the real elite, the elite of Jizhou?" Bah, it's bullshit. ”

……

The short but quiet night finally passed, and when the sun rose from the eastern horizon, the bloody day finally began unstoppably, and in the continuous sound of horns, groups of ironclad infantry rushed out of the Han army camp and marched into line outside the city of Meiji.

Pan Feng was wearing heavy armor and riding a horse on his hips, and appeared outside the east gate of Meiji under the escort of Gao Lan, Guan Chun, Geng Wu and hundreds of elite horsemen.

The two Han armies have reached a tacit understanding, Han Sui's Xiliang cavalry is responsible for besieging the city, Pan Feng's Jizhou infantry is responsible for attacking the city, if the defenders abandon the city, or Ma Yue's army returns to help, they will be met by the Xiliang cavalry.

Pan Feng slowly raised his right arm, waved it forward slightly, and said in a condensed voice: "Trebuchet~~ attack." ”

Suddenly, the low and distant horn sound turned loud, and the fierce war drums resounded in the sky, almost wanting to shatter the eardrums of the soldiers of the three armies.

"Put!"

Under the order of the little colonel, more than a dozen trebuchets shook their long arms at the same time, throwing out the huge stones the size of a plate fiercely, and more than a dozen boulders with a sharp roar, tumbling and rolling through the sky, with the momentum of crushing everything, smashed down viciously towards the head of Meiji City.

"Huh~"

A boulder flew directly over the city wall and smashed into the city, smashing a large crater in the flat ground.

"Boom Boom~~"

Three boulders smashed on the city wall one after another, and in an instant they smashed two large recesses on the city wall, one of the boulders also smashed a section of the battlements to pieces, and the gravel and mud splashed down from the city head, and on the side of the smashed battlements, a defender had a pale face and dull eyes, obviously not yet understanding what had just happened?

The next moment, a larger boulder roared at it, the edge of which grazed the defenders' heads.

"Poof~"

The defenders' heads shattered like watermelons, and the boulders were castrated, and the bodies of the defenders smashed on the tower, and at this moment, the whole tower trembled, and several defenders fell to the ground in a state of confusion.

"Boom!"

When the last boulder fell viciously from the sky, the barely built walls of Meiji Castle finally collapsed, and the three defenders guarding the tower had no time to escape, and fell from the tower with a wail, and fell into the trench, even though they were pierced by the sharp antlers that filled the trench.

The trebuchets of the Jizhou army raged for half an hour, and the walls of Meiji City were smashed and devastated, but the damage caused to the defenders was extremely limited.

"Oh oh oh~~"

Outside Meiji City, the soldiers of Jizhou cheered loudly, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

On the other hand, at the head of Meiji City, except for the 800 veterans who fell into the camp of Gao Shun, the rest of the soldiers were frightened and demoralized, whether it was Liu Yu's old troops who surrendered, or the Han refugees who had just been recruited, they had never experienced such a tragic battle, let alone seen such a terrifying siege weapon, and their cowardice was reasonable.

Gao Shun turned his head sideways and nodded to the iron head of the pro-soldier beside him.

The iron head understood, Huo Di jumped on the battlements, waved the shield in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, the methods of the Jizhou army are nothing more than this, whoa~~"

"Whoa~~"

The eight hundred veterans trapped in the camp followed the roar, and the overwhelming roar attracted the attention of other defenders on the city tower, and they all looked sideways to this side, and the iron head became more and more energetic, and took off the iron armor on his body and took off his battle robes, revealing two dark bare cheeks, and shook and shook the Jizhou army outside the city, and tried his best to pick and compromise.

The iron head shook his bare cheeks while pretending to have a frightened expression on his face, and said with words in his mouth: "Ouch, Lao Tzu is so scared, Lao Tzu's cheeks are scared black, huhu~~"

"Hahaha~~"

At this moment, not only did the eight hundred veterans laugh more and more, but all the defenders on the city tower who heard the sound of the iron head laughed along, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere before the battle was suddenly swept away.

……

Outside Meiji City, a trace of solemnity flashed leisurely in his frustrated eyes, and he said to Gao Lan beside him: "The main general of the defenders in the city is not simple, just now the trebuchets of our army have obviously seriously weakened the morale of the defenders, but now, the morale of the defenders has not only recovered as before, but also better than before." ”

"Hmm." Gao Ran nodded and said in a deep voice, "However, our army has never expected to destroy the defenders with trebuchets alone, the battle has just begun, and the best is yet to come, isn't it?" ”

Pan Feng, the chief general of the Jizhou Army, was already so angry that his face turned pale, and he said sharply: "Where is Guan Chun?" ”

Guan Chun rode forward, clenched his fists and said, "The end will be." ”

Pan Fengdao: "Lead the front army ~~ to capture the city!" ”

"Yes."

"Former Army~~Sortie~~"

Guan Chun agreed, raised the iron gun in his hand and led forward, and the five thousand elite infantry responded with a bang, forming a neat military formation surging towards Meiji City.

……

Meiji Castle Head.

Is it finally time to start taking the city? Next, the battle should really begin, Gao Shun's expression was calm, he drew his sword and raised it high above the top, and said loudly: "Archers~~ Ready." ”

In the sound of hurried footsteps, 800 veterans and 1,000 recruits rushed behind the female wall with longbows in hand, and at this time it was clear that the veterans and recruits were coming.

The thousand recruits, on the other hand, looked frightened, and even their bow-wielding left hand trembled slightly.

However, Gao Shun was not worried at all, because it would not be long before these recruits would quickly grow up in the brutal killing and grow into qualified veterans! Of course, many of these recruits will die in battle, and the price of growth is very heavy, but this is war, real war.

"Kill~~"

In the shouts of landslides and tsunamis, 5,000 Jizhou infantry lined up in an orderly formation and marched forward, and 1,000 heavy armored infantry rushed to the front, they were death squads, and their only role was to form a wall to withstand the attacks of the defenders' bows and arrows, rolling stones, and even fire oil!

The 3,000 Jizhou light infantry followed the heavy infantry with ladders on their shoulders and shields, and they were the main force to capture the city, and finally a thousand archers responsible for covering and suppressing.

Upstairs in Meiji Castle.

"General!" The iron head Huo Ran turned around and said to Gao Shun, "The enemy's heavy infantry has entered within a hundred steps. ”

Gao Shun's raised right arm seemed to be petrified, motionless, the eyes of nearly two thousand archers were staring at the sword in Gao Shun's hand, the sword in Gao Shun's hand did not fall, they would never dare to let go of an arrow, they could only let the heavy infantry of the Jizhou army rush to within a hundred steps like a tide.

"General, the enemy's light infantry has rushed within a hundred paces!"

"General, the enemy hoplites have rushed to the front of the trench!"

"General, the enemy archers are already within a hundred paces!"

This is the moment you have been waiting for! The corners of Gao Shun's mouth bloomed with a trace of cold murderous intent leisurely, and the sword he raised moved forward vigorously, and he shouted: "Release the arrow~~"

"Whoa~"

Nearly two thousand archers Huo Ran turned around, and suddenly the longbows were full, and the sharp wolf's tooth arrows were already on the strings, and the next moment, the piercing roar was endless, and the dense arrows like locusts poured down from the city tower, ruthlessly falling into the surging Jizhou army array.

The endless miserable howls resounded in the sky in an instant, and the Jizhou army fell down one by one, especially the archers who followed up at the end, and suffered heavy casualties! Gao Shun did not use his troops according to common sense, and deliberately let go of the heavy infantry and light infantry in front of him and did not shoot, just to shoot and kill the thousand archers of the Jizhou army.

……

The Jizhou army was in the rear.

Frustrated, he said: "The enemy general is scheming! ”

Pan Feng was so angry that his face turned pale, and he said in a sullen voice: "Guan Chun, this stupid person, what is he doing?" ”

Under the city of Meiji.

After paying heavy casualties, the heavy infantry of the Jizhou army finally lined up into a shield wall, protecting the last remaining hundreds of archers, and the archers above and below the city began to enter the shooting, under the cover of the archers, three thousand light infantry quickly crossed the heavy infantry, set up the ladder to the city wall, and officially began to climb the wall to capture the city under the cover of the shield.

……

Three hundred miles south of Meiji, Ma Yuezheng led the army to rush back, 9,000 cavalry, nearly 30,000 war horses gathered into a vast and boundless surging tide, swept across the vast grassland, swept towards the north, iron hooves everywhere, smoke and dust rolling, broken grass flying, a mess.

……

At the head of Meiji City, a fierce battle is raging.

"Kill!"

Gao Shun shouted, snatched the spear of a Jizhou infantryman, and threw it forward, the sharp spear carried a sharp roar, coldly pierced Guan Chun's chest, the spear was castrated, and Guan Chun's corpse pierced the abdomen of another Jizhou colonel.

When the tip of the blood-dripping spear pierced out of the back of the Jizhou Elementary School in the back, Guan Chun and the Jizhou Elementary School howled violently at the same time, their expressions were hideous, and at this moment, a piece of wood with two people hugging each other smashed into the air, smashing Guan Chun and Jizhou Elementary School into the air in an instant, and tumbling down from the city tower.

"Poof!"

The corpses of Guan Chun and Jizhou Xiaoxiao who were strung together by spears fell heavily into the trench, turning into two of the countless cold corpses, the horns stopped, the war drums stopped, and there was a dead silence inside and outside the city, a suffocating dead silence! Only the wind howled, waving the flags on the towers and crackling.

The bloody war~~ is over!

Gao Shun stepped on the female wall in one step, picked up the last ladder, and threw it back to the city, and then waved his fist vigorously at the black Jizhou army outside the city, looking up to the sky and howling: "Victory~~"

"Victory!"

The 800 veterans trapped in the camp responded with a bang.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

The more than 3,000 defenders who survived the bloody battle responded violently, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

……

It was night, the Jizhou military camp, Pan Feng's big tent.

In the battle during the day, the Jizhou army not only lost a general, but also lost more than 3,000 elite soldiers, Pan Feng finally realized that if he blindly attacked, even if he could finally capture Meiji, he was afraid that the army would be killed and wounded.

Fu Zhu slowly walked into the big tent, made a gesture to Pan Feng, and said loudly: "Grant ~~ See the general." ”

"Soldiers are exempt." Pan Feng waved his hand and said in a condensed voice, "Our army's offensive has been frustrated, I don't know what good strategy the military division has to help our army break through the city?" ”

Frustrated: "I said a long time ago that if you want to be beautiful and not attack, the general will not listen, so you will lose what you are saying today." ”

Pan Feng's thick eyebrows tightened for a moment, and he said with embarrassment: "Today's mistakes are all the fault of this general, but this general invited the general to come tonight, but he wanted to ask for advice on the strategy of breaking the city, I don't know why the military division taught me?" ”

"I have carefully observed the city defense of Meiji City during the day, and found that the mud and stone of the city wall in the northwest corner have not been tamped, and the traces are like a hastily built, and the general can use trebuchets to bombard the city wall in the northwest corner in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the city wall collapses, the defenders lose the danger of the city wall, and their determination to hold on will inevitably collapse, so it is effortless to break it." ”

"Oh?" Pan Feng's expression moved when he heard this, he stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and Huo Ran said, "According to what the military advisor said, it is said that the trebuchet will be mobilized to bombard the city wall in the northwest corner. ”

(To be continued)
