The war horse galloped, but after a cup of tea, Yan Liang ran to the side of the sand and water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFar away, two pontoon bridges lay across the sandy water. The pontoon bridge is one zhang wide, and it is all made of wooden planks, which is very strong, and it seems that it was prepared for the army to cross the water. One hundred and ten soldiers were hurriedly demolishing the bridge, and when they saw Yan Liang's battle flag, they panicked and dispersed. On the other side, a general was brandishing a horsewhip and shouting insults, trying to drive the fleeing soldiers to the bridge. Behind him, a dozen soldiers were lighting torches, preparing to burn the bridge.

Seeing the situation, Yan Liang quickly stepped up his horse and rushed over like a gust of wind, if the enemy burned the pontoon bridge, it would take him at least a day to set it up again, and the force would delay the speed of the army's advance.

"Quick, quick, rush over!" Yan Liang roared loudly as he galloped his horse. Rushing to the pontoon, he turned over and dismounted, spear in both hands, and galloped. No matter how strong the pontoon bridge is, it is impossible to stop the galloping war horses, and for safety, he can only dismount and fight.

The guards didn't dare to slack off, turned over and dismounted one by one, let the war horses run aside, and followed Yan Liang to rush onto the pontoon bridge.

The soldiers who were driven back to the pontoon bridge and destroyed the bridge saw Yan Liang's fierce appearance, and they turned around and ran away in fright, and someone on the other side stopped them, so they simply threw torches and weapons, and jumped into the water with a thud. Anyway, it's summer, and the water isn't cool at all.

Yan Liang's momentum was like a bamboo, and he drove straight in, rushing across the pontoon bridge in one go, and he didn't even meet an opponent. It wasn't until he rushed to the shore that he encountered resistance, and the iron-faced Lu Yi led the guard battalion to block it and form a shield array. Arrows rained down, wanting to squeeze Yan Liang back into the water.

Yan Liang held a spear in one hand, raised his left arm, covered the door with an arm shield, and shouted wildly. With a shake of the spear in his hand, the spearhead pierced a shield, and the warrior behind the shield had just raised his sword. He stabbed him in the chest with a spear. The cuirass was strong, and the spearhead could not penetrate it, but it deflated a large piece of the cuirass. The warrior spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow". He took two steps back, barely holding on, and he roared wildly. Swing your knife and slash.

Yan Liang raised his shield to stand it, held the spear with one hand, and forced the warrior to take another step back, only then did he withdraw the spear, open a war knife, pull out the ring knife from his waist with his left hand, and swept it with his backhand. The blades of the two swords staggered, making a piercing grinding sound and sparks splashing everywhere. The warrior's strength was not as strong as Yan Liang's, and his arms were weak. was slashed on his face by the tip of Yan Liang's knife, and blood was dripping immediately.

Yan Liang stabbed his left sword and right spear, facing several soldiers who rushed over, as if he was attacking more and defending less, and his personal guards ran across the pontoon bridge. Gathered behind him, formed a thicker and thicker battle formation, and fought bravely.

The two sides fought together.

Lu Yi watched from a distance, brandishing his sword, hissing and roaring with exhaustion, but his heart was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He wanted to slap himself twice. Last time, everyone gave Guan Yu face. The opportunity for the first battle was not fought, and then the siege was inexplicable, I don't know if Liu Xiu was reluctant to suffer casualties or was busy competing with the Son of Heaven, he often went out to line up for a while, rushed to kill for a while, and collected his troops early and returned to the camp, it seemed that the fight was lively, but it was not fierce.

This time Yuan Shao attacked in a big way, everyone understood Liu Xiu's intentions, they are all human spirits, and they are also clear about Liu Xiu's habit of using soldiers, and it is estimated that the contradiction with Cao Cao may also be a trap, just wait for Yuan Shao to cross the river, Cao Cao, who has been recuperating, will probably be cured, and there will not be too many opportunities for them to fight Yuan Shao alone, so they will all grab the first battle.

Lu Yi grabbed it, but the result made him cry and laugh. Liu Xiu said, this battle is not allowed to be defeated, you have to take the right time, build the pontoon bridge for Yuan Jun, and then fight a fake battle before you can retreat. Liu Xiu said earnestly at the time, you must know that although Yuan Shao has been fighting all these years, he has rarely had the opportunity to fight the Yellow River, and his ability to build a pontoon bridge has not grown, so we have to help him. Otherwise, there are so many rivers along the way, when will he be able to rush here to die?

After he said this, there was silence in the big tent for a moment, and then burst into a burst of wild laughter, Lu Yi's face was the most exciting, and he grabbed such a good task after grabbing it for a long time? When Hua Xiong patted him on the shoulder and comforted him seriously, he spat on Hua Xiong angrily and wanted to give up this task, but no one was willing to accept it.

Just kidding, who would take on such a depressing task. So Lu Yi had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, and took his subordinates to build a bridge for Yan Liang.

To be honest, Lu Yi was itching his hands now, and he wanted to rush up and hack Yan Liang and his personal guards to death all of them, but when he thought of Liu Xiu's order, he didn't dare. He knew that Liu Xiu wanted Yuan Shao to stay here this time, and the more he lured him away from Jizhou, the greater the possibility of success.

Seeing that Yan Liang's main force on the other side of the river had arrived, Lu Yi swallowed a mouthful of blood that was about to swell to his throat, and led his subordinates to "flee in embarrassment", spread his legs, and ran all the way.

Yan Liang successfully captured the pontoon bridge, and was ecstatic in his heart, setting up a large camp on the west bank of Shashui to guard the pontoon bridge, and sending someone to inform Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was in a good mood when he learned that Yan Liang had won the first battle, and ordered the whole army to advance, and convened all the generals to discuss the matter and celebrate Yan Liang's achievements.

Lu Yi ran for more than fifty miles in one go, and saw the main force led by Liu Xiu in Xinji on the west side of Weishui. Liu Xiu and the generals discussed around the sand table, and when they saw Lu Yi walking in with a flat mouth, they couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Yuntian has been wronged, everyone come and comfort me." ”

The generals laughed.

Lu Yi said angrily: "General, I can complete this mission, and you can't give me such a task next time, this unfortunate thing can't be spread on my head alone." ”

"It's not a stall, is it your robbery?" Duan Xuan, Hua Xiong, Li Meng and the others squeezed their eyes and laughed rattlingly.

"your mother." Lu Yi rolled his eyes, indignant.

Liu He walked over with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Captain Koji, completing the task is victory, so why bother with these details and be brave in vain." ”

Lu Yi hurriedly took it and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Weng is reasonable, and his words are reasonable. The last general will not dare to be, dare not be. As he spoke, he pouted proudly at Hua Xiong and the others: "See, it's still Lord Weng who has insight, you people, you are just killing materials who only know the courage of the horseman, what a good way." ”

A sound of disdain suddenly sounded in the big tent.

Tian Yan and Xia Yu looked at the military discussion in front of them, which was almost not in shape, crying and laughing, they looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. When discussing matters under Duan Cheng's tent back then, who dared to be so presumptuous? But now Liu Xiu laughed louder than anyone else, not only did he not stop it, but he was also very conniving.

Everyone laughed for a while, Liu Xiu coughed, and gently tapped the sand table with the thorn bamboo in his hand, he didn't use much force, and the voice was not very loud, but it was like a burst of thunder, and the generals who were originally laughing immediately put away their smiles, and stood up solemnly, looking at Liu Xiu with bright eyes. Liu Xiu nodded at Fule City, drew a circle between Weishui and Shashui, and said loudly: "Everyone, Yuan Shao's army will be able to cross Shashui tomorrow, according to his current speed, at most, he will reach the area of Chen County, and he can step into Runan County at any time." He used Jingzhu to draw along the water: "This is our blocking line, we can't let Yuan Shao step into Runan, we want him to look at his hometown Ruyang but can't go back." This place between the sand and the water is the place I chose for him and his army to be buried. ”

The generals did not say a word, and only heavy gasps could be heard in the tent. They all know that with Liu Xiu's words, the war is about to kick off, with 40,000 foot cavalry against 80,000 foot cavalry, this is definitely a tough battle, and it will probably be the largest battle before the world is pacified.

Xia Yu and Tian Yan glanced at each other in surprise, and were a little surprised by the battle intent in the eyes of the generals. With 40,000 against 80,000, but these people have no cowardice in their eyes, but are high-spirited, are they too proud? Of course, Duan Cheng also fought a vicious battle of winning more with less, but that was against the Qiang people who were not skilled in armament. Now Yuan Shao is leading 80,000 elites, which is by no means a rabble, even if Liu Xiu's subordinates are good at fighting, how much chance can he have?

"It's like fighting, if you want to fight hard, you have to press the other person to the ground and can't move." Liu Xiu handed Jing Zhu to Liu He, took a glass of wine from her hand, shook the wine glass, and said in a relaxed tone: "Now, the sand and water cloth have become a pocket, but there is still a place to maneuver in the north, I need a strong general who can attack and defend well, and I don't know ...... Yuan Shao's back road."

As soon as Liu Xiu's words fell, the big tent, which was so quiet just now that he could only hear the sound of breathing, suddenly exploded the camp, and shouted one by one. "General, I, Huaxiong, ask for battle."

"General, I'm willing to do it."

"General, this has to be handed over to our Jingzhou Army, we haven't made meritorious service yet."

"I, what is the Jingzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army, everyone is under the command of the Hussar General. General, let's fight this battle first. ”

Tian Yan and Xia Yu were dumbfounded. At this moment, Lu Yi suddenly jumped up and yelled: "Shut up for me!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and suddenly fell silent. Lu Yi grabbed Liu Xiu in two steps, took Liu Xiu's hand with both hands, and smiled flatteringly: "General, how did you say I guarded the Lujia Fort at the beginning?" ”

Liu Xiuqiang couldn't help but smile: "It's reluctant." ”

Koji's face twitched for a while, and then he returned to his cute appearance. "Well, I was fighting with the general recently, and I did think that the battle was not very good. General, I have a new experience recently, and I have never had a chance to practice it, so please give the general a chance and let me apply what I have learned. ”

"Alas, Lu Yuntian, are you so shameless, a very old man, what kind of school student are you playing?" Zhang Ren shouted: "What an important task is this, is it for you to intern?" ”

"Get out!" Lu Yi turned his face, his face was hideous, his teeth roared, like a vicious wolf protecting food: "Whoever dares to rob me of this task, who is my Liyi's enemy of life and death, see you once in the future, fight once, and never die." ”

The generals were stunned, and after a while, Liu He didn't hold back the first one, and burst out laughing, and there was a burst of laughter in the big tent.
