"Charge the Horseman! Go there! ”

Seeing that a general of Liu Xuan's army dared to rush to the Xuzhou cavalry team led by Xu Chu and Zhao Yun single-handedly, Deputy Director Tao and the generals of Xuzhou who were watching the battle under the banner array couldn't help but sneer, even if Xu Chu drove away the soldiers under his command in a big way, and rode alone to meet the general of Liu Xuan's army, Deputy Director Tao and the generals of Xuzhou did not feel that Xu Chu was big, but the ridicule turned into a kind smile, praising Xu Chu's gentlemanly style, not relying on the number of people to bully the less, only relying on martial arts and strength to kill the enemy- Torture and kill the enemy, to be precise.

The smiles of Deputy Director Tao and the generals of Xuzhou quickly solidified on their faces, because Deputy Director Tao and the generals of Xuzhou clearly saw that when Xu Chu turned around and intersected with the two horses of the general Liu Xuan, Xu Chu relied on a strange force, waved his knife and went straight to cut the iron spear in the hand of the general, intending to split the iron spear and then kill calmly.

The matter is not over, just after the two horses staggered, the tooth general suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, forced the war horse to turn ninety degrees, and Xu Chu's war horse in an L shape, took the opportunity to turn around and shoot, and made a move to the horse gun with extremely high requirements for riding martial arts, and stabbed at Xu Chu, who was a little careless to the enemy, and Xu Chu, who was still in a half-leaning state, was shocked, and could only force the side deviation in mid-air, and at the same time raised his right hand, so that the steel spear of the tooth general pierced his armpit, narrowly avoiding this almost fatal shot, and at the same time the horse rushed wildly, widening the distance from the tooth general.

After the two together, seeing that Xu Chu, one of the best thugs in the army, was completely at a disadvantage, Deputy Director Tao and the Xuzhou team were inevitably a little dumbfounded, Xu Chu himself also put away the intention of despising the enemy, first turned the horse's head, and then said with a cruel smile: "Vertical, I really underestimate you, but you have to be careful, I am going to show real skills this time!" ”

"Piff! Come on! ”

The tooth general roared without fear, and rushed to Xu Chu again, Xu Chu danced the knife to fight, and the Liu Xiangjun tooth general fought on the battlefield with a knife, Xu Chu's knife and knife are all powerful to open mountains and break stones, and the tooth general can destroy gold and armor with guns and guns, the knife wind is whistling, faintly with thunder, the gun is like snow, and the tip of the spear between the stabs is like arc light, and the vicious battle is more than 30 rounds without winning or losing.

Seeing this scene, Deputy Director Tao's jaw was naturally so shocked that it was about to fall to the ground, but after a careful recollection, Deputy Director Tao quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly patted Zhao Yun next to him, who was also in shock, and ordered: "Zilong, go up and ask, the general who is fighting with Zhongkang, but Donglai Tai Shi Ci?!" But remember, don't join a warband. ”

Zhao Yun sang a promise, and hurriedly rode his horse back into battle, over there Xu Chu saw Zhao Yun coming out of the battle and said that he was here to help in the battle, so he hurriedly sold a flaw and jumped out of the battle circle, and yelled: "Zilong, I don't want your help, this puppet is mine!" ”

"You two come together and one of me, I'm not afraid!" The general of Liu Xuanjun yelled horizontally, and even challenged Xu Chu and Zhao Yun at the same time.

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to explain his intentions, Liu Xuan, who also thought that Zhao Yun was in the battle against Tai Shi Ci, actually ran out of the army again, and immediately the knight was dressed in ordinary soldier clothes, holding a hardwood and iron-headed spear, and rushed into the formation, shouting loudly, "General Taishi, I will meet this white-robed thief for you, you just have to rest assured that you will fight with that fat thief!" Roaring wildly, the ordinary cavalry of Liu Xuanjun actually took Zhao Yun with a spear.

"General Taishi? It's really too Shi Ci! Deputy Director Tao was overjoyed, and then took a closer look at the ordinary cavalry of Liu Xuanjun who rushed towards Zhao Yun, and found that this cavalryman was very young, about ten years old, and his appearance was not very outstanding, Deputy Director Tao couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Who are these two goods?" A pawn who is not even a long time, but also dares to fight Zhao Zilong? ”

Seeing that the ordinary cavalry of Liu Xuanjun dared to rush towards Zhao Yun alone, the Xuzhou soldiers also snickered together, and hurried to bet that Zhao Yun could use a few rounds of guns to pick the ordinary cavalry, but the cruel facts made the Xuzhou army lose their glasses, and after the ordinary cavalry fought with Zhao Yun, they also showed extraordinary courage and martial arts, a hardwood and iron-headed spear danced like a storm, hail and raindrops stabbed at Zhao Yun's people and horses, although Zhao Yun, who had experience in the battlefield, did not fall behind, but it was difficult to win quickly, can only be entangled with the ordinary cavalry, and it is difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat for a while. Over there, Tai Shici also rushed towards Xu Chu again, and fought with Xu Chu again.

None of the local soldiers in Xuzhou don't know how powerful Xu Chu is, and most of the Qingji soldiers in the Xuzhou team have seen Zhao Yun's majesty in the middle of the army like no man's land, which will see these two top generals in the Xuzhou army, who were actually entangled by a Liu Xiangjun tooth general and a Liu Xiangjun ordinary cavalry, Xuzhou soldiers inevitably have a ridiculous feeling up and down, unbelievable almost suspect that they are in a dream, Deputy Director Tao's triangular eyes are even bigger than a bull's eye, no matter how much memory, I can't think of that bastard under Liu Miao's command who can go head-to-head with his first-class generals!

At this time, there was an accident in the battlefield, Tai Shi Ci stabbed Xu Chu with a shot The trick was a little too old, and Xu Chu took the opportunity to grab the gun with his left hand, and fought hard to grab it, Tai Shi Ci fought but Xu Chu let go of the surname and let go of the iron gun by Xu Chu, and then crossed his hands and pulled out the double halberd behind his back, and waved the halberd with both hands, Xu Chu also raised the knife and slashed, both of them roared like thunder, one shouted for your life, and the other shouted that you are dead!

Deputy Director Tao was worried that Xu Chu and Tai Shi Ci had lost, and was just about to give the order to Ming Jinjian, but Zhao Yun had already smashed the hardwood spear in the hands of the ordinary cavalry of Liu Xuanjun, and the cavalry ran back to the horse, Zhao Yun flew forward and wanted to capture him, who knew that the cavalry suddenly turned around when he was rushing wildly, and shot an arrow at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, and the arrow had already hit the helmet on the top of Zhao Yun, and directly pierced the red tassel root, Zhao Yun was also shocked into a cold sweat.

"Piff! Eat me with an arrow, too! ”

In a fit of rage, Zhao Yun also took a bow and arrows, preparing to shoot the nameless cavalry. Fortunately, Deputy Director Tao had already ordered the ringing of the golden gong at this time, Zhao Yun had no choice but to put down his bow and arrows and withdraw to the formation, and Xu Chu over there also jumped out of the battle circle helplessly, and yelled at Tai Shici: "Pifu, my lord Mingjin, I will kill you again!" Remember my name, I am Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang of Qiaoxian County, the person who will behead you in the future! ”

"I've heard of your name, but it doesn't matter, if you have the guts, just come and accompany you to the end!" Tai Shi Ci replied proudly.

After Zhao Yun and Xu Chu both retreated to the camp, Deputy Director Tao immediately ordered the whole army to retreat back to the camp, although Chen Heng also ordered to take the opportunity to chase and kill, but was shot by the strong bow and crossbow of the Xuzhou army, five thousand Xuzhou troops retreated slowly and orderly in an orderly manner, the first was not impatient, the latter was not afraid, the military appearance was unusually strict, Chen Heng urged the army to rush twice and saw that it was useless, so he had no choice but to retreat, Deputy Director Tao sent scouts to follow all the way, and took the opportunity to reconnoiter whether Liu Xuan hid an ambush without mentioning.

It wasn't until he withdrew to his own camp that Xu Chu, who hadn't enjoyed the fight, ran to Deputy Director Tao to complain, saying that he was about to cut off Tai Shici's head and come back to ask for credit, how could he withdraw his troops for no reason? Deputy Director Tao laughed, and didn't explain his intentions, but just asked Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, how is that Taishi General's martial arts better than you?" ”

"Not as fast as me, of course." What Xu Chu said may be true, but he will also put gold on his face, and added, "However, if it is in our army, he should be qualified to compete for the position of the top five generals." ”

"I didn't expect Liu Xuan's team to be so hidden." Zhao Yun also said: "In terms of martial arts alone, the skill of the cavalry of Liu Xuanjun's army who fought against the last general is enough to rank among the top ten among the officers and soldiers of our army, especially his archery skills, which are definitely not under the last general!" However, such a talent actually condescended to be a pawn, and Liu Miao really had no ability to know people. ”

"Who the hell is that guy?" Deputy Director Tao has also been suspicious of the identity of the nobody, not only has the martial arts of competing with Zhao Yun head-on without being killed in seconds, but also has the archery skills of almost killing Zhao Yun with an arrow, such a bull is unlikely to be an unknown person? But Deputy Director Tao searched his stomach and racked his brains, but he couldn't think of anything that there was still a general in the land south of the Yangtze River who could have such a.

With a stomach full of questions, Deputy Director Tao arranged for Zhao Yun and Xu Chu to disband the army and return to the tent to rest, and then went straight back to the big tent to discuss countermeasures with a strategist, and the military advisor Jia Lao Poison led Liu Ye and Xun Chen to the front of the tent to greet them, and after meeting, Liu Ye, who already knew the situation on the battlefield, smiled and preemptively said: "Xu Zhongkang and that Taishi general fought for more than 60 years, but the lord ordered Ming Jin to withdraw the troops - did the lord move his heart to love talent and want to take the Taishi general for his own use?" ”

"Mr. Ziyang knows me." Deputy Director Tao nodded with a smile, and recited again: "Tai Shici, Ziyi, a native of Donglai, Qingzhou, a fellow villager of Liu Xuan, once asked for help from the big-eared thief Guan Hai for Kong Rong to kill the Yellow Turban thief Guan Hai, and relieved the siege of Beihai. That's all I know, princess, do you have a plan to help me subdue Taishi Ziyi? ”

Liu Ye and Xun Chen, who are not good at this set, both closed their mouths, but Jia Lao Poison arched his hand and said: "My lord, please wait a little longer, Xu has arranged scouts and meticulous work to monitor the retreat of the enemy army, if the heavens fulfill people's wishes, our army will soon have a chance to subdue General Taishi Ziyi." ”

Deputy Director Tao grinned toothily and said, "I thought of one place, and I also arranged for scouts to keep an eye on the enemy's retreating team, but I don't just need Tai Shici alone, and the ordinary cavalry of Liu Xuanjun's army who can fight with Zhao Yun for twenty or thirty times, Mr. Wenhe also has to find a way to get it for me." ”

"Saved." Jia Lao Poison nodded, and said with a smile: "Liu Xuan is called the imperial prince, but he has eyes and no beads, so beautiful and talented, but he is only used for tooth soldiers, no wonder he has made no achievements for many years, and finally lost to the half-crippled Yuan Shu." But it's good that such a general has been given such a cold reception, and no matter how loyal he is to Liu Xuan, he will inevitably be dissatisfied, which is conducive to our army's recruitment. ”

After waiting patiently in the big tent for more than an hour, the scouts sent by Deputy Director Tao and Jia Lao Poison came to report one after another, saying that after Chen Heng's team withdrew to the camp of Liu Xuanjun, in the Maolu area west of the dense Shenting Ridge, the ambush soldiers of Liu Xuanjun's army were indeed discovered. But fortunately, Deputy Director Tao did not blame the scouts for being incompetent, the key is that the terrain in this area of Shentingling is too complicated, the grass and trees are too dense, it is easy to ambush and difficult to find people, Liu Xiangjun has been operating in Qu'a for many years and is familiar with the local terrain, and it is naturally not so easy for the Xuzhou army fighting away to completely grasp the enemy's every move.

"Congratulations, my lord, this is all right." Of course, Jia Lao Poison did not scout dereliction of duty, but just smiled at Deputy Director Tao: "The lord can quickly repair the book with Taishi Ziyi, ...... in the letter, and then ............." ”

After listening to the tricks of Jia Lao's poison offering, Deputy Director Tao, who had not completely lost the advantage of the prophet, pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Although Mr. Wenhe's plan is wonderful, there is still room for improvement, and it will increase the ............ of success. ”

…………………… It's a bit unbelievable to say that after Chen Heng's team collected troops and returned to the camp, Tai Shi Ci and the nobody who fought Xu Chu and Zhao Yun not only did not get a reward and promotion for fighting for Liu Xuanjun's face, but on the contrary, he was also severely sued by General Chen Heng in front of Liu Xuan, saying that Tai Shici was strong and reckless, only caring about personal merit, and went out to fight without an order, which exposed the strength of Liu Xuan's army too much, and scared Deputy Director Tao not to lead the army to pursue, and missed his team's plan to lure the enemy. So that the plan of the self-army to lure the Xuzhou army into the encirclement of Maolu failed!

After listening to Chen Heng's report, Liu Xuan, who had finally figured out a clever plan to set up an ambush to lure the enemy and break the enemy, was of course furious, if it wasn't for the fact that Tai Shi Ci didn't know that Chen Heng's team was going to lure the enemy in advance, he almost wanted to take Tai Shi Ci to ask for the guilt on the spot. Only the unfavored strategist is Yi, who is not favored like Tai Shi Ci, disagreed, and distinguished for Tai Shi Ci: "The lord should reward General Ziyi, the enemy's iron cavalry rushed into battle to frustrate the spirit of our army and shake the heart of our army, it was General Ziyi who killed the enemy and captured the general under the command of Tao Ying, forced Tao Ying to lead the army to retreat, won back for our army for a while, and inspired the morale of our army. ”

"But Taishi Ziyi also missed my plan to lure the enemy!" Liu Miao said dissatisfiedly: "If it weren't for Tai Shi Ci's forcible ability, how could my clever plan fail?" ”

"Lord, forgive me." I also didn't know in advance that Liu Xuan set up an ambush in Maolu is Yi to ask for guilt, and said bluntly: "The lord took advantage of our army's familiarity with the terrain to steal the path at night and lay an ambush in Maolu, although this plan is good, but it will never work for Tao Ying, although Tao should be unexpected, but never take risks, never fight uncertain battles, even if there is no matter of General Tai Shici, General Chen Heng will never succeed in luring the enemy, once Tao Ying chases to a dense place, it is inevitable to withdraw his troops immediately. ”

The clever plan that he finally figured out was degraded by Shiyi to the point that the reincarnation of grains was not as good, Liu Xuan's face was naturally as ugly as it was, and his impression of Shiyi was naturally even worse. At this time, Chen Heng, who had always been worried about Tai Shi Ci overpowering him, suddenly moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lord, do you remember the Liyang meeting back then?" It was the time when the lord you took the last general and others to a banquet with the pottery thief, and at the banquet, the pottery thief and the Xuzhou military advisor Jia Xu seemed to have mentioned Tai Shici. ”

Liu Miao's face changed, and a past that had been hidden in his heart for a long time quickly came to his mind - by the way, Tai Shici has never been allowed to be reused by Liu Miao all these years, which is also one of the important reasons. Xu Shao, who is good at watching people but not good at knowing generals, is also hesitant, although he did not fall into the well, but he did not dare to distinguish Tai Shici casually. Because Shi Yi did not participate in the pottery thief version of the Hongmen banquet that year, he didn't hear Jia Lao's poisonous words inadvertently, so he could only be confused, and when he asked Xu Shao in a low voice about the past four years ago, Xu Shao refused to answer.

At the same time, outside the big tent of Liu Xuan's army, Tai Shici and the nobody, who bravely defeated Zhao Yun, were still waiting, waiting for Liu Xuan's reward and promotion of the two of them. It was also at this time that Tai Shi Ci seized the opportunity to talk to the nobody, and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, you fought well, I saw that the martial arts of that white-robed thief general are definitely not under my opponent Xu Chu, your war horse, weapons and armor are far inferior to him, and you can even fight with him for twenty or thirty times, and finally hit his helmet with an arrow!" Terrific! Teen Hero! ”

"General Xie compliments." The ordinary cavalryman who was only ten ** years old was very shy, and said very modestly: "It's still a great general, I heard that Xu Chu is the first general under the command of the pottery thief, and there are countless famous generals who died in his hands, but the general can fight with him without winning or losing, which is amazing." ”

"It's not that there is no winner or loser, it's the pottery thief Mingjin who has withdrawn his troops, otherwise, there will be ten more rounds, and I will take the head of Xu Chu!" Tai Shi Ci boasted proudly, and then asked the young cavalryman: "Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you your name yet, what is your surname?" Where did you learn this martial art? ”

"The villain's surname is Ma Mingzhong, and he was born in Orion, so he didn't take the word." The young cavalryman replied respectfully: "The villain was originally in the mountains to shoot and hunt for a living, martial arts were taught by his father, after his father passed away last year, the villain walked out of the mountains, defected to the lord's team, because the villain's archery skills and skills are passable, the first month was incorporated into the cavalry team." ”

"You're luckier than me." Tai Shi Ci said with some envy: "I joined the cavalry within a few months of joining our army, and I made such a great achievement, the lord just can't promote you if he doesn't want to." ”

Ma Zhong smiled shyly, although he was a little shy, but he was also very eager for the upcoming rewards and promotions. At this time, General Chen Heng finally swaggered out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Tai Shi Ci also said that Chen Heng came to mention Liu Xuan to summon him, quickly tidied up his clothes and armor, and pulled Ma Zhong forward to prepare to enter the account, but Chen Heng shouted angrily first: "Tai Shi Ci, who else is there, why are you still here?" Why don't you hurry back to camp? ”

"What? Don't see us? Tai Shici asked in surprise.

"Why does the lord want to see you?" Chen Heng asked rhetorically, "There are dozens of generals in our army, nearly 30,000 soldiers, and everyone has to see the lord, what time do you have to act in military and political affairs?" ”

"Hurry back to camp! Don't linger here! ”

Throwing down this sentence, Chen Heng walked away with his chest and belly protruding, refusing to look at Tai Shici and Ma Zhong again. After watching Chen Heng leave, after a long time, Tai Shici suddenly pulled out a small halberd on his back, and threw it on the ground with a loud roar, and the nearly two-foot-long halberd was half on the ground, and the tail of the halberd trembled. Ma Zhong lowered his head weakly, and his young face was full of helpless loss.
