The two armies of Yongchu confronted each other in Guazhoudu, all of them did not move, three said, Huaixi was in a hurry, Cui Jue's troops under the command of Changsun Ji attacked Shouchun, and the Dongshan department of Xuzhou Daying attacked Zhongli, Zhongli five said that he was trapped, the county guard Zhu, and the captain Chen were captured and unyielding, and they were all martyred. The two armies jointly attacked Shouchun, Shouchun is an important town in Huainan, and if you want to get Huainan, you must get Shouchun. At that time, Lu Can's eldest son Yun was ordered to help Shiguan Shouchun, Yun Nian was thirteen, and the martial arts were outstanding, and the Huaixi soldiers and civilians heard that the clouds were there, and they all said that the general would not abandon us, but to fight to the death, and the Yong army could not advance an inch.

-- "General Guide to Information Governance; Yongji III

Zhongli City was finally taken, but Dong Shan did not have a trace of joy at all, for five days, Zhongli City, which had only 3,000 defenders, made him suffer from hitting a wall, and the 30,000 army attacked the city at night, Zhongli, who obviously looked so weak, but he never gave in, the outer city fell, retreated to the inner city, the inner city fell, and the street battle was carried out inch by inch, this small Zhongli City almost sucked up the blood of the Yongjun army. Sitting in the lobby of the Zhongli County Guard's Mansion, looking at the Zhongli County Guard who was pushed and escorted by the soldiers, Dong Shan took a deep breath and said: "You resist the Dayong Heavenly Army, the sin is unforgivable, if you are willing to surrender, this general will spare your surname for the time being, if you don't surrender, don't blame me for using your head to sacrifice the heroic souls of the soldiers under my command." ”

Zhongli County Shou is a middle-aged man in his thirties, and he laughed and said: "Zhu Mou is the head of the country, the head of the country, and he is deeply favored by the country. ”

Dong Shan was furious and said, "Pull him to the door and behead him to fulfill his loyalty." ”

The sergeants pushed the county guard, and when they arrived at the official office, they pressed the county guard to the ground and was about to be executed, at this time, a general with a helmet scattered and embarrassed was tied up by the Yongjun army and sent here, and when he saw that the county guard was about to be beheaded, the general hissed and asked: "Lord County Guard, why do you have to defend and not retreat, and refuse to surrender from above?" ”

The county guard surnamed Zhu said: "I was ordered by the imperial court to guard Zhongli, how can I abandon the city and flee, and the Yongjun army is attacking fiercely, if there is a desire to survive, Zhongli has already fallen, and if you want to retreat, how easy is it to say, not to mention that so many soldiers have already taken the lead, how can this county guard make them wait for a long time." Although the general is forgiving, you and I are both ministers of Southern Chu, how can we not sacrifice our lives for the country. "Anyway, the county guard surnamed Zhu was slashed.

The general sighed when he heard this: "The county guard and a scribe are still martyred, let alone a warrior like Chen?" After he was captured, he originally had the heart of surrender, and when he saw the martyrdom of the county guard, he could no longer be greedy for life, and entered the hall, although Dong Shan persuaded him to surrender, he did not say a word, Dong Shan was impatient, and also ordered him to be executed, and the general did not say a word until he died.

After Zhongli repaired, Dong Shan rushed to Shouchun with the Xuzhou army, there are still twenty miles away from Shouchun, Nanyang camp Cui Jue has sent a messenger to greet him, this time to attack Shouchun, Nanyang camp is the main force, but because the soldiers of Nanyang camp are not familiar with the geography of Huainan, so the court decided to send a group of men and horses by Pei Yun to support Changsun Ji. However, Dong Shan and Cui Jue are old acquaintances, both of them have served under the command of King Qi, and they only went their separate ways a few years ago. The guard who came to greet him was Cui Fang, the nephew of Cui Jue, and he was also an old acquaintance of Dong Shan. He stepped forward, looked Cui Fang up and down for a moment, and laughed loudly: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are already so old, how is it, how is the battle situation, how is your uncle's health?" ”

The young guard also smiled and said: "Uncle Dong, my uncle is in good health, the battle is very fierce, the Shouchun defenders are almost desperate to resist, and my uncle is feeling that the troops are insufficient, so it's good that you are here." ”

Dong Shan's heart was shocked, it seemed that Shouchun was not easy here, and then he said solemnly: "Dong Shan, the deputy general of the Xuzhou battalion, came to obey General Cui's dispatch on the order of General Pei, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu. ”

Seeing this, the messenger also said with a straight face: "Cui Jue, the general of Pingyuan in the Nanyang camp, attacked Shouchun on the order of General Changsun, and his subordinate Cui Fang was ordered by the general to welcome General Dong. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Dong Shan ordered his soldiers to set up camp first, and he brought a few guards to follow Cui Fang to find Cui Jue in front of the battle.

In front of Shouchun City, the fireworks were filled, Cui Jue, who was in his thirties, frowned and looked ahead, he was a good-looking man, but unfortunately his appearance was destroyed by a scar on his cheek, when Dong Shan rode his horse to the front of the battle, he saw Cui Jue pointing at Shouchun City with a horsewhip and said: "Order the death battalion to go to the city, from there, there must be an enemy general, otherwise the defenders will not be so tenacious." The military order was handed down, and not long after, a battalion of Qingjia sergeants with a murderous aura rushed towards Shouchun City. Dong Shan naturally knew that these were sergeants who had violated military law, or simply prisoners who had filled the army, and if they could survive with great achievements, they could regain their freedom, so they were all brave and brave when they fought, and they were the most courageous, and there were such establishments in all armies of the Yong Army.

At this time, Cui Jue had already noticed that Dong Shan was coming, and turned around and smiled: "Zhongli has already broken through?" I'm still struggling here. ”

Dong Shan said on the horse: "Brother Cui, it's always been good, don't make fun of me, a small Zhongli attacked me for five days, but I didn't even get an important prisoner." ”

Cui Jue said strangely: "What, are the guards and Zhongli County guards dead in battle?" ”

Dong Shan said ashamedly: "Originally, they were all captured by me, but I became angry and beheaded them all." ”

Cui Jue was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "This is nothing, General Pei will not blame you for this matter, and most of them will cover up for you, but the Southern Chu army in Huaixi is really brave and good at fighting, your army will take a rest first, and Ming said that he will attack the city with me, and I don't know if the death battalion can hit the defenders there." After that, he raised his whip and pointed at Shouchun City, and Dong Shan also looked up.

Seeing that the sergeant of the death battalion had already climbed to the top of the city under the rain of arrows and rolling stones, and there seemed to be no obstacles, Dong Shanyi frowned and said, "It seems to be easy." ”

Cui Jue also said suspiciously: "Strange, I have attacked the city many times these days, and every time it is very difficult from this direction, even if I go to the city, no one can survive, how can it be so easy this time." ”

Seeing the green armor of the warriors of the death camp disappear into the stomping, the two of them had an inexplicable feeling that this attack would definitely not succeed. At this moment, the sound of fighting mixed with screams suddenly came from the head of Shouchun City, and the figure of the Southern Chu Army appeared in the stomping there.

Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other, and Cui Jue smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that this time they used the trick of inviting you into the urn." ”

Dong Shan sighed: "Presumably they also know the power of the death camp, so the surname Suo let them attack and slowly annihilate them, we can't see the actual battle situation, if you want to decide the next offensive according to the battle situation there, any decision made may be wrong, the generals guarding there must be confident and quite strategic, but I see that Shuai Qi is not there, he must be an ordinary general, and Shouchun City is really full of talents." ”

Cui Jue knew that this time the death battalion was probably self-defeating, but after all, the death battalion must still be fighting hard, and the victory or defeat was unpredictable, so he still dispatched heavy troops to take the opportunity to seize the city, and after the order went down, he smiled bitterly: "Who said no, General Pei is like a bamboo in Huaidong, but we are in Huaixi step by step." ”

Dong Shan comforted him and said: "This is not to blame you and me, the erosion of the Huaidong army is not a one-time, General Pei has sent countless scouts to Huaidong to investigate the military situation over the years, and he already knows the Huaidong generals well, if not, how could General Pei enter the Chuzhou camp alone to assassinate the enemy's commander." ”

Cui Jue paid attention to the situation in Shouchun City, and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor issued a decree to reprimand General Pei, and he was not allowed to take any more risks, and almost erased his credit for capturing the Chuzhou camp alone. ”

Dong Shan said unconcernedly: "The general will not take it to heart, but for the time being, he must not be in danger again." ”

When the two were gossiping, the sound of the battle on the head of the city had disappeared, Cui Jue smiled slightly bitterly, knowing that the death battalion he had given heavy hope had been wiped out, so he passed down the military order and slowed down the offensive, but this time the siege failed again.

Above the city, Lu Yun sat down on the ground panting, looking at the corpses of the Yongjun death camp in the encirclement, and then looking at the steel knife that had been rolled up in his hand, the blood-stained battle robe on his body, and the blood on the ground flowed like a river. Although he is the son of Jiangmen, and he is both internal and external, with divine power in both arms, but compared with these fierce and fearless sergeants, he is still a little less imposing, thinking of this, not only is he a little afraid, but his plan to invite you into the urn almost became a wolf into the room. But what can be done, knowing that the enemy is a warrior from the death camp, if they do not surround them and annihilate them, but only resist the strong attack of the enemy, they are afraid that the enemy will break through the defense line.

After sweeping the battlefield, Chen Ming, the general in charge of defending this area, came over and said with a smile: "Major General, it is really a good strategy, we have also fought with the enemy's death battalion in the past, if there is no loss of more than three times, it is impossible to destroy the death battalion, this time our loss is less than half." ”

Lu Yun's face turned red and said, "It's all everyone fighting to the death, I'm just coming up with an idea." ”

Chen Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "As the son of the great general, our general sent someone to invite you over." ”

Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it convenient now, the enemy army is still attacking the city?" ”

Chen Ming smiled: "It's okay, the Yongjun army is already weak, and this day can be successfully passed again." ”

At this time, a sergeant shouted loudly: "Oh no, the enemy army has played the banner of the Xuzhou battalion, and Zhongli is finished." ”

Lu Yun and Chen Ming were both shocked, and ran to the city in a few steps to look down, only to see that next to the commander flag of the Chinese army of the Yongjun, there were two more big flags, one was the banner of the Xuzhou camp, and the other flag had a big "Dong" on it, Lu Yun was shocked, knowing that it was a matter of time before Zhongli fell, but he really knew that it was still so difficult to accept.

At this time, someone in the Yong army shouted: "Our army has captured Zhongli, the heads of Zhongli County Guard and Zhongli Lieutenant are here, Shouchun Guard will listen, if you don't surrender, once the city is broken, you will also hang the city gate." As he spoke, someone used a flagpole to provoke two heads and stand in front of the formation.

The defenders of the city were in an uproar, and their morale fell a lot for a while, and many soldiers rushed to the city wall, looked down, and saw tall human heads, although they could not see very clearly, but the city was already a gloomy mist.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of teeth clucking beside Lu Yun, Lu Yun turned his head to look, only to see Chen Ming's eyes full of anger and murderousness, looking at the banner of the "Dong" character of the Yongjun Army, the expression on his face was inexplicably sad, and tears fell from his eyes. He was puzzled in his heart, and looked left and right, and a sergeant whispered, "Zhongli Chen Duwei is Brother Chen's brother. Lu Yun exclaimed and looked at Chen Ming gloomily. At this time, I saw Chen Ming jumping up to the city and stomping on it, and said loudly: "Listen to the thieves under the city, you killed my brother, and I, Chen Ming, want to avenge this blood revenge with my surname, brothers, why are you downcast, Zhu Junshou and Chen Duwei have been loyal to the country, do we still want them to laugh at us in front of Lord Yama for being greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

From the handsome flag on the front of Shouchun, a deep and powerful voice said: "Swear to defend the city to the death, kill the enemy and hate it." When the Shouchun defenders heard this, they also shouted: "Swear to defend the city to the death, kill the enemy!" The voice was earth-shattering, and there was no longer the sorrow and depression of Fang Cai.

Cui Jue and Dong Shan under the city glanced at each other, and the strategy to hit the enemy's morale failed. Cui Jue frowned, and glanced at a personal guard, that personal guard is a famous archer, under the command of the eldest grandson Ji, there are many soldiers who are good at archery. He understood Cui Jue's meaning, stepped forward, and under the cover of several sergeants, an arrow shot towards the city, this arrow was like a meteor lightning, and the shadow of the arrow was almost invisible, and the distance of three hundred steps crossed in an instant, shooting towards Chen Ming, who was still standing on the city stomping. Chen Ming was still looking at his brother's head and weeping, not paying any attention to the secret attack of the Yong army, and all the troops in the city shouted loudly: "Be careful! ”

But faster than their warning cry were two arrow shadows, shot out from behind Chen Ming and where Shuai Qi was, these two arrow shadows almost simultaneously shot the sneak attack arrow, the arrow was broken into three, and the two arrow shadows also rebounded back, it can be seen that the strength is worse, the defenders of the city are all shouting, but the Yongjun under the city also shouted: "Good archery!" "The Yongjun army was not stingy with praise for the enemy, but their fighting spirit not only did not weaken, but became more vigorous, and they were all eager to try.

Cui Jue and Dong Shan both showed a wry smile, the morale of the enemy army in the city was booming, although their own side was also provoked to fight, but if they continued to attack the city at this time, in addition to increasing losses, it was absolutely impossible to succeed, looking at the sky, the two decided to withdraw their troops at the same time.

Looking at the slowly retreating Yongjun, Lu Yun put down his bow and arrows, and sighed in his heart, no wonder Dayong has been able to stand tall under the crowd of heroes for many years, only to see that these sergeants actually cheered for the enemy army, and never weakened their momentum at all, but gave birth to more fighting spirit, knowing that even the elite soldiers under his father's command could not compare to them, after all, they lacked such confidence and firmness. These Yongjun are afraid that they will still be able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner if they lose their main general, and if something happens to their father, the Jiangxia camp and the Jiujiang camp will be leaderless and panicked.

In Chen Ming's thanks and the praises of the other soldiers, Lu Yun asked curiously: "I don't know who fired the arrow at the same time as me, why don't I remember that General Shi has such a clever archer next to him?" When those soldiers heard this, they suddenly showed a mysterious smile, Chen Ming had already struggled out of the grief of losing his brother, and said with a forced smile: "Young General, anyway, our general is waiting for you over there, why don't you go over and take a look?" ”

Lu Yunxin said the same, so he walked over there, and after a while, he walked under the handsome banner, only to see Shi Guan, the chief general of Huaixi, who was ordering the renovation of the city wall and preparing for the battle of Ming. Lu Yun's eyes suddenly fell on a young man standing beside Shi Guan, that young man was similar to him, and his appearance was seventy percent similar to Shi Guan, but there was a lot of grace between his eyebrows, Shi Guan was originally dignified, and the young man was handsome and beautiful, although he was not as strong as Lu Yun, but he had a sword on his waist, a bow on his shoulder, and a faint sword aura and a heroic posture.

As soon as Lu Yun saw this young man, he felt sympathy, and felt in his heart that it must have been this young man who shot Fang Cai's arrow, but it was inconvenient to talk to him first, so he stepped forward and saluted Shi Guan and said: "The general summons, Lu Yun is late, please forgive the general." ”

Shi glanced at Lu Yun and said with a smile: "Nephew Yun is really a young hero, excellent archery skills, and quite disciplined in the use of soldiers, worthy of being a great general Huzi, you don't have to be too polite, I have been under the command of the old general of Zhenyuan for many years, and your father is also a brother, and now although there is a huge disparity in power, I still think you should call me Shibo." ”

Originally, Lu Yun didn't dare to use such a cordial title because this General Shi was serious and fearful, but he just called him General according to the rules of the army. ”

Shi Guan stretched out his hand and pointed to the handsome young man and said: "This is my daughter Shi Xiu, who has been stubborn since she was a child, and was raised by her grandmother and mother as a boy, one year older than you, you can call her sister." ”

Lu Yun's eyes widened, how could this be possible, although this young man was very handsome, but his eyebrows were full of heroism, and there was no trace of a girl's delicate and gentle manner, how could he be a girl.

Seeing this, Shi Xiu smiled coldly, stepped forward and kicked it, hitting Lu Yun's calf, Lu Yun stumbled in pain, and almost screamed out, Shi Xiu said angrily: "What are you staring at, and also, don't call your sister, if you dare to scream, don't blame me for cutting you ten swords and eight swords." ”

Shi Guan only pretended not to see it, leaving aside the two of them to continue to arrange military affairs, his daughter has been dressed as a man since she was a child, how can she have the appearance of a girl, if not, how could she be in time next year, but there is no one yet, even the soldiers under his command obediently call her a young master or a young general, some people don't even know that Shi Xiu was originally a girl, but he can't tell Lu Yun that he has a son, and through Lu Yun's secret understanding of these days, he has an idea in his heart, but he doesn't know whether to climb high, So as soon as it came up, it explained the identity of stone embroidery.

The two young girls naturally didn't understand his intentions, and seeing that Shi Guan was busy dealing with military affairs, Shi Xiu pulled Lu Yun aside, threatening and luring, and did not allow him to be commensurate with his sister.

There was originally a brother on the stone embroidery, but he died young, so after the stone embroidery was born, the stone view in order to comfort his mother and wife, he raised the stone embroidery as a son, the stone embroidery is also a surname like the father, the girl is good at the female red and the like, but the bow and horse martial arts are a learning will, and later worshiped a master who took refuge in Shu to learn the inner boxing sword, at a young age, martial arts have been outstanding. Her surname is strong, she doesn't like to be a female celebrity with those girls of the same age, she only likes to make guns and swords, go hunting, and when she saw that Lu Yun was also strong in martial arts at a young age, she had the idea of being like-minded in her heart, and after talking for a while, the two were already laughing and feasting, and they were as happy as brothers.

The second said, Cui Jue and Dong Shan regrouped and attacked the city again, this time the two of them didn't pay attention to anything about attacking the heart and morale, just attacking the city in a decent manner, seizing every flaw, capturing every opportunity, in the offensive like a thin stream, from time to time to launch a * like an attack, night attack, surprise attack, do everything, Shiguan is also not weak, when defending the city is as stable as a rock, and also take the opportunity to steal the camp and intercept the village at night, for a full twelve days, the two armies almost all the means of attacking and defending the city have been rehearsed one by one. With the protection of the fortified city, the Shouchun defenders can be said to be equal to the strength of the Yong army, and in terms of combat power, although the Yong army is stronger, the Huaixi army is not weak, and it can be said that the two sides fight for morale and perseverance. In this regard, the defenders of Shouchun are not lacking, Lu Yun is almost where the enemy army attacks from, he will go to defend the city, from the initial immaturity, to the later maturity, he has become the warrior of the Southern Chu army, that is, the Yongjun who is attacking the city below, and also knows that Shouchun has a young archer, a young warrior. Such Lu Yun has become the pillar in the hearts of the soldiers and people of Shouchun, as long as Lu Yun is here, then there will be reinforcements, Lu Yun is so brave at a young age, General Lu must be worthy of his reputation, as long as the reinforcements arrive, he can defeat the Yongjun. Such a thought made every Huaixi soldier fearless of death, and also made Shouchun a Shura field in the minds of the Yongjun that harvested human lives second only to Xiangyang.

Shi Xiu did not show the slightest weakness, for Lu Yun, she has a strong sense of competition, her sword carved bow, the surname charged is not much less than Lu Yun, and I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, both of them are wearing the same armor, similar in size, with the same amazing archery skills, although one makes a knife, one makes a sword, but in the eyes of Yongjun, they are regarded as the same person, so the young warrior of Shouchun Zhan Zhi is on the left, and suddenly on the right, becoming a rather mysterious and terrible thorn in the eye of Yongjun.

On November 20th, the Yongjun army finally stopped the offensive and retreated again without gain, Lu Yun looked at the Yongjun army in the distance, these said, because of the attack on the camp of the Southern Chu army, the Yongjun army had moved the camp to ten miles away. Lu Yun moved his numb limbs tiredly, and threw down the horizontal knife in his hand, his own steel knife had long been destroyed, this knife was more from the hands of the Yongjun who were besieging the city, and it was natural to throw it away if it was used. At this time, Shi Xiu strode over, her uniform was also stained with blood, when defending the city or attacking the camp, the two people did not appear in the same place with a tacit understanding, but there seemed to be an invisible force in the dark that made them tie each other, even if they were separated by thousands of people, they seemed to be able to feel each other's existence.

※※※※※

Shi Xiu stepped forward and said to Lu Yun: "Brother Yun, are you still going to rob the camp tonight?" ”

Lu Yun shook his head and said: "Yujin, not today, I have robbed three times in a row, and the Yongjun army will definitely be on guard today, I have already told my uncle." "In the process of the Yong army and the Southern Chu army sneaking up camp against each other, Lu Yun showed a very shrewd intuition, and the timing of the camp was very appropriate, and if the enemy army was ambushed, Lu Yun could always have a bad feeling before the scouts investigated. Even Lu Yun felt strange that he had been fooled too much in Chang'an, making him so sensitive. As for calling Shixiu "Jade Brocade", it is because Shixiu does not allow him to call his sister, and he feels rude to call him by name directly, so Lu Yunsuo's surname is called Shixiu's table word, which is the word given to her by Shixiu's master before he left half a year ago.

Shi Xiu nodded, and said indifferently: "Okay, then let's go back, how uncomfortable it is to wear this bloody clothes." After speaking, he shrugged his shoulders impatiently, this posture must be rough and ugly if other women do it, but when the stone embroidery is done, there is a feeling of freedom and uninhibitedness, not to mention that she is already wearing men's clothes, and she is a young general, where is there half a daughter.

This was the action that Lu Yun was used to, but for some reason, Lu Yun's heart suddenly trembled, and he actually remembered Jiang Roulan, the county lord of Zhaohua, who had been hidden in his memory. The first time we met, Roulan was also wearing men's clothes, but unlike stone embroidery, although she was wearing men's clothes, she was so delicate and beautiful, her temperament was pure, as clear as a clear spring, perhaps because of her identity, her light was so dazzling, although there was no pampering, it could even be said to be empathetic and innocent, but Lu Yun always felt that Roulan had a temperament of looking up and looking far. But the girl in front of her made Lu Yun feel intimate, like siblings, like blood and bones, inseparable, when the two get along, they can communicate without hindrance without words. Shi Xiu looked at Lu Yun who was inexplicably in a daze, and used to kicking it away, Lu Yun subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but somehow saw Shi Xiu's resentful gaze, and his body couldn't move, and he was kicked solidly. Lu Yun screamed, causing all the soldiers to cover their mouths and snicker, such a good show is always being staged, and they are already familiar with it.

At this time, the guards beside Shi Guan rushed over and said, "Young General, Young Master, the general has summoned you over." ”

Lu Yun and Shi Xiu glanced at each other strangely, and then Lu Yun stopped rubbing his legs, straightened up, and walked in the direction where Shi Guan was with Shi Xiu, and when he arrived at Shi Guan, he saw a carrier pigeon with gray feathers and red eyes parked on his left arm, Lu Yun's heart moved, and he stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Uncle, but the time has come for a counterattack?" ”

Shi Guan smiled slightly, handed a piece of thin paper in his hand to Lu Yun, Lu Yun took a look, and saw that there was only one iron and silver hook painted on the word "war", and the gold seal of Lu Can, the general of Southern Chu, was covered below, and there was also a small "C" word in the corner of the note, Lu Yun only felt ecstatic in his heart, and he couldn't speak anymore. Shi Xiu looked at it in a daze, and the surname Suo grabbed the note and looked at it over and over.

Lu Yun saluted Shi Guan and said, "Uncle, Lu Yun also wants to go into battle with his uncle to kill the enemy, please ask my uncle's permission." ”

Shi Guan frowned slightly, Lu Yun can naturally participate when defending the city, and it is okay to steal the camp, but the counterattack is imminent, and the battle array is ruthless, if Lu Yun makes a mistake, how can he explain to the general? Seeing his hesitation, Lu Yun hurriedly said: "Uncle, you also know that sooner or later I will go into battle to kill the enemy, and you have also seen my martial arts, I will definitely follow my uncle closely this time, and I will never rush to kill without authorization." ”

At this time, Shi Xiu read the note for a long time and didn't understand the meaning, so he returned it to Lu Yun, Lu Yun was looking at Shi Guan with enthusiasm at this time, but he took the note very smoothly, seeing the small movements between the two, Shi Guan couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart, my girl can finally get married, that's it, this kid will go into battle sooner or later, it's better to follow me than to follow others, so he said: "Okay, you prepare a horse weapon, and follow me to guard when the time comes." Now Shi Xiu can understand it, it turned out that he was going out of the city to fight, and hurriedly said: "Daddy, I also want to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

This time, Shi Guan didn't agree, and said angrily: "Nonsense, a girl, about to get married, and I don't know how to learn some things about feeding, I know how to dance and make swords, not this time, stay in the city obediently." ”

Shi Xiu pulled his father's robe and said: "Daddy, where am I worse than Brother Yun, he can go into battle, why can't I, at most I will stay by my father's side to protect it, and besides, I will not marry those official eunuchs who are chosen by my mother, if I want to marry, I will marry a hero who can go into battle with me to kill the enemy." When she said the last sentence, there was also a trace of shame on her face, but her eyes were blazing, and she didn't flinch at all.

Lu Yun was taken by her divine light, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle, the jade brocade martial arts are so outstanding, let her go with her, I will definitely protect her well on the battlefield." ”

Who knew that Shi Xiu didn't appreciate it, kicked it with his flying feet, and said: "Who wants you to protect, my martial arts are worse than yours." Lu Yun didn't dare to dodge, but just suffered this kick with a bitter face.

Shi Guan resisted the urge to laugh wildly, and then looked at Shi Xiu's appearance that if you don't let me go into battle, I will go with me, and said in my heart, okay, it is better to stay by my side and feel at ease, so he said: "Okay, you two will go together, but you are not allowed to leave my left and right." ”

Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were very pleased, and naturally ran to sort out the horses and weapons by hand, not realizing that they should avoid suspicion. A look of joy flashed in Shiguan's eyes, then his face calmed down, and he looked at the note again, "C", then at least the two copies of "A" and "B" have been lost, Yongjun's precautions are very strict, but even if the note falls into the hands of Yongjun, what does it matter, this note is just a signal.

Second, Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were all draped, but there were no accidents, the Yongjun army and the Southern Chu army were already familiar with each other's tactics, almost as soon as the enemy moved, they knew how to deal with it, although the battle was fierce, but there was nothing new at all. At the end of the day, Cui Jue casually threw away the two notes in his hand and said: "Sure enough, it is nonsense, it must be that the Southern Chu Army deliberately confuses people's hearts, and Lu Can is a big bold, and he doesn't dare to leave Jingkou now." A gust of wind blew, and the note flipped in the wind, revealing the golden seal on it.

November 21st, Shiguan still ordered the soldiers to be clothed, ready to fight at any time, but also to draw out a group of elite soldiers, let them recuperate, the two sides fought until noon, the sun moved to the south of the sky, today is a rare sunny weather, although the winter weather is a little cold, but the soldiers in the city are sweaty and heavy, both sides are already the end of the crossbow, almost all rely on perseverance in the hard fight, more than a dozen uninterrupted attack and defense, it is really a consumption of people's physical strength and will.

Cui Jue and Dong Shan glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes, Dong Shan said hesitantly: "General Pei and Lu Can are facing each other in Yangzhou, and we are attacking Huaixi, this is an established policy, but the battle situation in Huaixi is so difficult, it is really unexpected." ”

Cui Jue said: "There is no way, anyway, Shouchun has no reinforcements, and we always have the advantage." Let's do it again, and take advantage of the fatigue of the defenders at noon. ”

Dong Shan nodded, this is a routine, if this attack can't be successful, he will retreat and rest until the end of the day, and then attack until dusk.

Cui Jue urged the three armies and began to attack the city, and the tired soldiers who were replaced almost fell asleep on the ground, and even the fatigue was not only physical, but also mental, looking at this situation, Cui Jue moved his lips, and finally did not give the order to let those sergeants be on guard.

This time the offensive seems to be working very well, Shouchun's defense is a little weak, there are signs of rout under the onslaught of the Yongjun army, Cui and Dong are both happy in their hearts, exchange a look, send the most elite death battalion, ready to give the Shouchun defenders a blow to decide the surname, or today can break Shouchun, this is not only the idea of the two generals, but also the siege sergeants also feel the exhaustion of the defenders at the head of the city, and they are desperately attacking.

At this moment, behind the hillside trees a few miles away, a pair of eyes flashed with murderous intent, and raised his hand slightly, and there was some nervous breathing and a slight panting sound of a war horse behind him. Then the man waved his hand resolutely, took the lead in bypassing the gentle slope, circled an arc, and rushed towards the rear of the Yong army.

"Kill!" The high-pitched shouts, the deafening sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and the rumbling sound of war drums resounded in the sky at the same time, Cui Jue and Dong Shan were shocked, and looked to the side, only to see the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, a cavalry was coming, and the number of people could not be seen for a while, but it was always above five thousand, and those cavalry were all wearing silver armor, and the armor reflected the bright sunlight, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.

How can this be, the two of them are shocked in their hearts, Nanchu is longer than the boat division, and does not attach great importance to cavalry, as far as they know, now the entire Southern Chu, in addition to the nine thousand cavalry in Xiangyang, the three thousand cavalry in the Jiangxia camp, the entire Southern Chu can hardly find a cavalry with sufficient combat power, most of these cavalry are the foundation laid by Prince De back then, but where did this cavalry come from? Thousands of thoughts flashed, and both of them shouted in unison: "Retreat, retreat." ”

But at this time, the silver armored cavalry has rushed into the rear of the Yongjun, the Yongjun is already exhausted, and when it is out of control, under the touch, the Yongjun immediately fell into chaos and collapse, the cavalry rushed to kill unscrupulously, like a sharp blade to cut the Yongjun into pieces, at this moment, Shouchun had already opened the city gate that had been sealed from the inside, which was originally the expectation of the Yongjun, but now it is worse. Standing at the gate of the city, the general on the horse is Shiguan, on his left and right, two young generals in white clothes and white armor protect each other, both of them have a silver spear in their hands, a carved bow on their backs, and an arrow bag is hung immediately, even the war horses of the two are very similar to the white dragon horses, the face armor is put down, you can't see the appearance of the two, although the figure is a little different, but you can't see it under the cover of the armor, these two people seem to be a pair of twin brothers, many people who see Yongjun have the idea of "so it is" for no reason, The images of these young warriors who are active in Shouchun City flashed in their minds.

It's just that these Yongjun immediately saw the general swinging his sword and pointing forward, and the five thousand fresh troops in the city rushed into the front line of the Yongjun. The Shouchun garrison did not have a formed cavalry, except for the personal guards of about 100 people around Shiguan, there were no war horses, but their combat power was not weak, and their battle made the Yongjun soul suffer a heavy blow is not weaker than the cavalry rushing behind, and the birds and birds that were originally trapped in the net broke out of the net, so the hunter's mood can be imagined.

Under the attack of the Southern Chu army on both sides, the 60,000 Yong army was in danger, and the loss of the siege was too great, Cui Jue and Dong Shan glanced at each other, and where their eyes met, they had already quarreled countless times, and then Dong Shan hugged his fists and said loudly: "Come with me." Then he went to the Southern Chu army, Cui Jue's eyes flashed with sadness, and he also said loudly: "Come with me." Then he rushed southeast. As the two acted separately, the Xuzhou army subconsciously followed Dong Shan's broken rear, and the Nanyang army broke through with Cui Jue.

The sound of killing between heaven and earth was deafening, and the two armies of Southern Chu seemed to be two iron fists, echoing each other to kill the Yongjun, and the Yongjun army was an elite soldier in a hundred battles after all, after Dong Shan's desperate break, Cui Jue finally succeeded in killing more than 30,000 people and turned to the north. The Southern Chu army did not pursue, but concentrated on eliminating the Dongshan Division, leaving behind the 17,000 Xuzhou troops and the more than 10,000 Nanyang troops who did not have time to escape. By the time the sun went down, there were only a few thousand remnants left on the battlefield. However, the Southern Chu army fought more and more, and the Huaixi army that had rested in the city also joined the battlefield, and more than 20,000 Huaixi troops plus 9,000 cavalry came to help, trapping the Yong army in the formation.

Dong Shan only felt that the blood blindfolded his eyes, and he couldn't help but wipe it with the sleeves of his robe, and looked at it fixedly, although the cavalry of the Southern Chu Army was outstanding in riding and shooting, and their martial arts were strong, but they could still see a trace of rustiness, this is an army that has been well trained, but has not really been on the battlefield, but it will be different after today, and this victory will make them real male soldiers. There was a faint moan and a low curse from his comrades in his ears, Dong Shan's eyes fell on a pair of young generals who were fighting side by side, the silver spears in their hands flew up and down, one was rigid and the other was soft, and the cooperation was seamless, one was like a dragon going out to sea, and the other was transformed into a little pear blossom, and behind them, what was left was a sea of blood.

At this time, under the banner of the "stone" character marshal erected in the Southern Chu army, a middle-aged general said in a loud voice: "Dong Shan, you have fallen into a dead place, why don't you abandon your weapons and surrender?" With his shout, the Southern Chu army began to slow down its offensive, but it strengthened the encirclement again.

Dong Shan ordered Yongjun to move closer to him, and said loudly: "Da Yongnan, how can there be a reason to surrender." ”

At this time, a low-level general in the Southern Chu army shouted and scolded: "Dong Shan, you killed my brother, Chen is looking for you to take revenge, it is best if you don't surrender." ”

Dong Shan glanced at the general coldly, and said with a smile: "Dong has been fighting on the battlefield for ten years, and the number of people he has killed is countless, who knows which one your brother is, if you want to take revenge, you can come over, why bother to be coy." ”

The general was furious, but he did not ride a horse, so naturally it was impossible to charge and kill a cavalry general, and he only hated it with tears.

At this time, one of the two white-robed young generals who returned to Shiguan's side from the chaotic army lifted his face armor and said in a loud voice: "General Dong, you may not take your life and death to heart, don't you cherish your soldiers, do you want to let all the soldiers under your command die?" If you are willing to lay down your weapons, I guarantee that your soldiers will be treated with the courtesy, and our army will never kill or abuse them. ”

Dong Shan looked at the young man with blazing eyes, he looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was heroic, a good young hero, he laughed and said: "If Dong Mou surrenders, it is impossible, so let's do it, if you have warriors who can defeat this general on the battlefield, this general hereby swears that no matter whether I live or die, the soldiers under my command will abandon their weapons and surrender." ”

Shi Guan's gaze exchanged glances with the cavalry leader, they were not soft-hearted, but they were worried that the counterattack of this Yong army before death would make their cavalry lose too much, so it was not worth it, but if it was a single battle, who was sure that he could defeat this Dayong general, and if he was defeated, how would he face his comrades and General Lu. The eyes of the two people fell on Lu Yun, Lu Yun is the son of Lu Can, if he fights with Dong Shan, he can explain whether he wins or loses, after all, he is only thirteen years old, but both of them are worried that Lu Yun has some accidents, it will be bad.

Seeing that the Southern Chu Army did not respond for a long time, Dong Shan looked up to the sky and laughed: "There are really no heroes in Jiangnan, and no one dares to fight with me." ”

His wild words annoyed a person, Shi Xiu was still worried that he would be stunned, he had long forgotten the agreement to stay with his father, and he would be scolded by his father for a while, at this moment, when he saw Dong Shan's presumptuous arrogance, she raised her eyebrows, lifted her face armor, and said loudly: "Dong Shan, don't say that there are no heroes in Jiangnan, even us children, you may not be able to win, if you have the guts, I will challenge you with him, the two of us are not older than you combined, you dare to fight." ”

Dong Shan was stunned, but he remembered the courage of the two young people, but he didn't feel insulted, and said in his heart, they went into battle to kill the enemy at a young age, and they were heroes, if they died in the hands of such two young heroes, it would not be an insult, if they killed them, they could eradicate the two banes, which was really cost-effective. Therefore, he did not allow Shi Guan and others to object, rode his horse and rushed out of the Yongjun army formation, and said loudly: "Okay, I, Dong Shan, accept your challenge, report my name, and let General Ben know who killed him." ”

When Lu Yun heard this, he was arrogant in his heart, and he had long forgotten to oppose it, and said loudly: "My father is in the position of a general, my name is Lu Yun, and General Dong should be remembered." ”

Shi Xiu is smart, how can the girl's name be known casually, although she is not taboo, if her mother knows it will be annoyed, she raised her voice and said: "My father is the chief general of Huaixi, my name is Shi Yujin, General Dong must not forget." ”

Although Dong Shan had already expected that the identities of these two teenagers were unusual, he couldn't imagine that one was the son of Lu Can and the other was the son of Shi Guan (he didn't see that Shi Yujin was a girl), and laughed loudly: "Okay, it turned out to be two young generals, and they were really Jiangmen Huzi." ”

After saying that, Yang Lance rushed up, Lu Yun and Shi Xiu glanced at each other, and both rode their horses to rush up, Shi Guan hurriedly ordered the mobilization of archers, once Dong Shan could hurt Lu Yun and Shi Xiu, he would release arrows to save people no matter what.

Three horses circled, two silver spears and a horse lance fought endlessly in the dust and sand, the blue and black armor and the white armor were staggered and mixed, this battle was not as one-sided as most people thought, although Dong Shan was a fierce general, but Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were not weak in martial arts, plus the two of them had a good heart and cooperated tightly, Dong Shan was exhausted, and he actually fought evenly.

One round, ten rounds, one hundred rounds, when the battle reached Lily, the three of them were already sleepy, Dong Shan was crumbling on the horse, but Shi Xiu and Lu Yun were not much better, Lu Yun was a man after all, these people took the pill sent by Jiang Zhe, Guben Peiyuan is very beneficial, and it can still be supported, but Shi Xiu is out of breath, he is already sweating through his armor, and the silver gun in his hand seems to be unable to hold it. Seeing this, Dong Shan exerted all his strength to attack the stone embroidery, no longer avoiding Lu Yun's silver spear, although Lu Yun was more valuable to him, but he was confident that his strength was insufficient, so he chose a better stone embroidery. A lance stabbed away, penetrated through the armor, and the silver spear embroidered by stone was taken out of his hand, turned over and fell from the horse.

Lu Yun only felt that his liver and gall were broken, and he drank with all his might, and his grief and anger made him urge the gun with all his might, and the silver spear turned into a rainbow shadow and stabbed Dong Shan in the back, but just when the silver spear was about to hit the body, Dong Shan's body twisted strangely on the horse, and the shot only passed through the right rib, Lu Yun exerted too much force, and leaned forward, but Dong Shan smiled slightly, and the horse lance stabbed Lu Yun in the throat, not looking at the injuries on his body at all.

Almost instantly, the situation suddenly changed like this, the Southern Chu army was in an uproar, Shiguan wanted to give the order to release the arrow, but his body was stiff, just looking at the body of his beloved daughter falling downward, he couldn't say a word, and he couldn't make a single movement.

Seeing that Dong Shan's horse lance was about to pierce Lu Yun's throat, Dong Shan's face showed joy, being able to kill the two future heroes of Nan Chu before he died, it was worth dying, who knew that there was a pain in his chest, he slowly lowered his head and saw the silver tip of the spear shining through his chest. The sharp sharp edge of the horse lance was about to reach his throat, and at the moment when Lu Yun was about to die, the handsome face of Shi Xiu's angry eyes and silver teeth clenched suddenly flashed in front of him, almost suspicious in a dream, but through the silver spear on Dong Shan's chest, and the slowed down speed of the horse lance stabbing made him wake up immediately, he hid in a kick, turned over and fell off the horse, and the silver spear was collected and then vomited, this shot stabbed Dong Shan in the lower abdomen. After receiving the fatal three shots, the light of life in Dong Shan's eyes finally dissipated, and he glanced at the northern sky nostalgically, and his body slipped off his horse.

Lu Yun couldn't hear the deafening cheers of the Southern Chu Army in his ears, nor could he hear the heart-wrenching grief of the Yongjun army, he turned over and got on his horse, looking at the stone embroidery on the opposite side in a daze, and the two looked at each other stupidly across the empty saddle war horse that had lost its owner.

The moment before Dong Shan stabbed the stone embroidery, the stone embroidery came to her senses, and her heart flashed, so she fell from the horse, in fact, the lance only left a deep scar, but Dong Shan was tired and numb, and he didn't notice that the lance was not solid at all. When he turned around and counterattacked, Shi Xiu had already turned over, and the silver spear that flew into her hand fell into her hand as she expected, and she stabbed out a fatal shot with all her might, so that the strength in Dong Shan's hand weakened, and Lu Yun was able to escape from death.

The cheers in their ears were still the same, the eyes of the two gradually regained their vitality, they both felt that life had returned to themselves, thinking of the line of life and death of Fang Cai, both of them couldn't help but shudder, and turned around and walked towards Shiguan, their eyes never separated, for fear that what they saw in front of them was only illusory, and the other party had already died in the hands of Dong Shan.

At this time, Shi Guan had already come to his senses, quietly wiped away the tears in his eyes, he rode his horse to meet him, grabbed two small arms with both hands, and shouted loudly: "God bless Nanchu, give me a young hero." The Southern Chu army shouted: "God bless Southern Chu and give me a young hero." Lu Yun, Shi Yujin, Lu Yun, Shi Yujin! "The cries are incessant and shocking. In the cheers of the Southern Chu army, one of the Yongjun soldiers dropped his blade gloomily, and the other Yongjun soldiers seemed to be infected, and the sound of weapons falling was endless.
