On the bank of the Xiangjiang River, Baichuan City, Jingzhou.

Gangneung to Xiangyang is the only place where you can defend against danger.

Liu Biao sat in the hall and raised the tent, a scribe in cloth clothes bowed in the hall and bowed, Cai Mao was dressed in wide thick armor, stepped out of the ranks, and the armor blades made a piercing eardrum grinding sound.

Cai Yao pointed to the Chinese scholar and said sharply: "Xu Shu, you don't want to get an inch, the lord is nearly sixty years old, and he has followed you to the Baichuan camp, which is enough to boost morale, you still want him to be in danger in front of the enemy's position, Wanjin's body is in danger, what are your intentions?" ”

"The Admiral is right." A group of military generals clamored for it, and Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue and other civil servants did not say a word.

The cloth-clothed scribe glanced sideways at Cai Mao, this person was Xu Shu, a famous scholar from Jingxiang, Xu Shu was born with a crying face, and when his sad eyes fell on Cai Mao, his expression was even more angry.

"Lord, General Cai Mao, this battle is a battle related to the life and death of my Jingzhou, the elite soldiers of our army are basically wiped out in Jingnan, and now most of them are naval troops and recruits, although they are equivalent to the number of Sichuan troops, but their combat power is far inferior to the tiger and wolf division under Liu Zhang.

We need a victory, a hearty victory to boost the morale of our army, and let them know that the invincible Sichuan army that has been attacking the city all the way is not invincible, and those recruits and sailors are not strong in the first land battle, and they need the lord to sit in front of the battle, so that they will not be frightened away by the Sichuan army. ”

Xu Shu bowed again, Liu Biao touched his white beard, hesitating in his heart, once upon a time, he entered Jingzhou on horseback, and charged and slashed in front of the battle many times, but now that he thinks about it, it is like a dream, for many years, he has never been out of Xiangyang Mansion for many years, and his body bones seem to grow together with the land of Xiangyang Mufu.

Liu Biao calmed down for a long time, sat up straight, and said in a pleading tone: "That, Mr. Yuanzhi, since our army is all new recruits and sailors who are not good at land warfare, why don't we stick to Baichuan City and fight head-on, isn't it exposing the shortcomings of our army and promoting the strengths of the enemy?" ”

"Yes, yes." A group of civil servants and military generals whispered, all nodded in agreement, and the buzz in the lobby continued.

Xu Shu took a step forward and said eagerly: "Lord, Baichuan City is small, it can't accommodate so many troops to defend the city, Baichuan is the only defensible place to Xiangyang, our horn camp has not been fully completed, we can only go out of the city to fight, and we need a head-to-head victory to boost the morale of the people, please make a decision." ”

Xu Shu bowed down again, this was the third time he bowed, and he was angry and unwilling, "I think I, Xu Shu, am also a high-ranking person in Jingxiang, if it weren't for the invitation of Teacher Sima, how could I come to this place where the straw bales are overgrown, knowing that Liu Biao can't assist, but also work hard." ”

Xu Shu hated his weakness a little at this time, Pang Degong invited out the phoenix chick Pang Tong, but Pang Tong excused himself to be directly loyal to Liu Biao, only saying that he had a better way, and now he doesn't know where it is, and Zhuge Liang of Longzhong Wolong has done even better, Zhuge Ci went to invite him out of the mountain, and directly said that he wanted to marry Huang Yueying, and after his wedding, the war would have already ended, even if it was not over, he could see the victory and defeat in detail.

Pity yourself for a stupid person, a "lord" shouted, I am afraid that in this life I can only tie up a boat with Liu Biao, who has no ambition and has no ambition to caress Fengyue.

Liu Biao was still hesitant, and when he thought of the two armies facing the Sensen armor, he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, sitting in the main seat in a panic, and he couldn't make a decision.

At this moment, a woman walked in from the side room, dressed in a dark green robe, looking mature and dignified, her face seemed to be covered with a veil of fog, and her fair and smooth face seemed to be frozen, and no expression could be seen.

"Ma'am, why are you here?" Liu Biao looked at the woman.

Cai Shi bowed to Liu Biao, turned around and walked down the steps step by step, the eyes of the ministers moved with her footsteps, Cai Shi walked in front of Xu Shu, and said lightly: "Mr. will ensure the safety of the lord, right?" ”

Xu Shu glanced at Cai in surprise, the big war was coming, and this woman was much calmer than Liu Biao.

"Yes, madam, if the lord has any three strengths and two shortcomings, Xu Shu is willing to apologize with death." Xu Shu bowed.

"That's good." Cai turned back to Liu Biao and said: "Lord, Mr. Xu, since you said that you want to protect the safety of the lord and win a hearty victory for Jingzhou, you will definitely be able to do it, compared to the safety of Jingzhou, the concubine feels that the lord can take a risk, and the concubine has the courage to say, if the lord has any accidents, the concubine will definitely follow the lord." ”

Cai Shifu bowed, Liu Biao was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, I'll go out in person." ”

…………

"Woo woo woo ......"

The Jingzhou army lined up outside Baichuan City, the melodious and long horn sound faintly came from the front, the Jingzhou soldiers looked eastward, only to see a black "Liu" character flag slowly rising from behind a raised hill, under the banner, the Sichuan soldiers appeared in a row of steps, moving an endless forest of spears, the reflection of the spearhead metal converged into one, the dazzling white light was blocked in the sky above the Sichuan army, and the sun was gray.

"Ho, ho, ho."

The Sichuan army roared over the hills, and tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers appeared in front of the Jingzhou soldiers one after another, holding their spears and halberds one by one, their faces expressionless, dozens of generals and tens of thousands of cavalry split their wings, revealing boundless killing intent.

The Jingzhou soldiers were shocked and faintly restless.

"It's so awe-inspiring." Xu Shu rode on a horse, looking at the Sichuan army a mile away, a few years ago, he had also been to Shuzhong, saw the Yizhou soldiers, how can there be today's prosperity, I didn't expect that the Yizhou butcher less than a year, has changed this army, and the Jingzhou soldiers behind him are different.

"Order the generals of all departments, restrain the troops, and behead those who disturb the morale of the army." Xu Shu ordered loudly.

"Whoosh ......"

Suddenly, a dense sound of feather arrows from the strings came from far away from the Sichuan army array, judging from the sound, there were enough tens of thousands of feather arrows in the air, the swishing sound was endless, the sky converged into a curtain of arrows, covering the sky and the sun, pouring down, the Jingzhou soldiers were shocked, regardless of the general's order, they retreated.

"Don't panic, don't panic, if you can't shoot you, don't panic."

Xu Shu shouted loudly, if it weren't for the lord and the military division in front of the battle, the Jingzhou soldiers would have already broken and fled, until all those feather arrows were inserted into a straight line two hundred meters away from the Jingzhou soldiers, and the Jingzhou soldiers barely settled down, but looking at those trembling arrow feathers from a distance, their hearts were even more frightened.

"Strategist, what is Liu Zhang doing here?" Liu Biao asked Xu Shu nervously, clamping the horse's belly tightly, he had not ridden a horse for many years, and he was very rusty, and he almost fell off the horse when he saw the black arrow rain just now.

"It's a demonstration to us."

Xu Shu said lightly, looking at the Sichuan army from a distance, Zhang Ren is worthy of being Jia Long's disciple, there are rules for training and leading soldiers, the military formation is tight, and after the rain of arrows, the morale of the Sichuan army is high.

"It seems that it is no longer possible to wait for work."

Xu Shu had to admire the decisiveness of the Sichuan army, that rain of arrows, although tens of thousands of arrows were wasted, but in an instant, changed the morale of the two armies, the Sichuan army was tired from afar, but the morale was high, and the Jingzhou soldiers were waiting for work, but they were frightened, judging from the rain of arrows, the Sichuan army had at least tens of thousands of bows and arrows.

Xu Shu frowned, it seems that this battle is not as easy to fight as he imagined.
