The sun is waning, and the last rays of the sun between heaven and earth struggle hard, trying to escape the erosion of darkness. But it is just like the Li Min of the Han Dynasty, even if he tries his best, he can't escape the cycle of fate. Gradually, it disappeared into the dark night.

"Ignition!"

As the sky grew dark, Jia Xu immediately ordered his soldiers to light the torches, and the rising flames instantly illuminated the surroundings as if they were day. Jia Xu looked at the direction of Lu Bu's departure with dark eyes, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth. In fact, he didn't advocate Confucianism very much, but others were different. Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, and Confucian students all over the world regard him as a teacher. If Lu Bu can climb this big tree, it will be of great benefit to him.

In the sky, the waning moon is like a hook, and the rumbling horses' hooves are like a raging storm, Jia Xu looked around, only to see Lu Bu leading the wolf rider of Bingzhou to arrive suddenly.

Cai Yong immediately stumbled up to meet him, and when he saw Cai Yan, who was sleeping soundly on the back of Chitu, Cai Yong couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately burst into tears. Dismounted, Lu Bu picked up Cai Yan, and then quickly handed it to Cai Yong. Cai Yan was also tossed awake by this series of actions, and rubbed his sleepy eyes. She whispered in surprise: "Father! ”

Cai Yong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, immediately pulled Cai Yan to Lu Bu, and said, "Thank you, General!" ”

Lu Bu grinned: "Mr. Bo Jiao, how can a certain chariot and cavalry general who is a big Han man sit back and watch the barbarians kidnap my Han people?" If Mr. Bo Ji doesn't dislike it, you can go with us, and you can escort Mr. for a while! ”

When Cai Yong heard this, he lowered his head and fell into contemplation, if he wanted to catch up with Dong Zhuo's troops at this moment, it was already impossible. In other words, if he meets the Yi tribe again on the road, how can he protect his daughter with his powerless old man. Glancing up at Lu Bu, Cai Yong hurriedly thanked him: "In this way, the old man is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful."

Lu Bu waved his hand and signaled that Cai Yong was not polite, but the army came and went in a hurry, and there was no extra carriage in the army, so in desperation, Lu Bu could only arrange for Cai Yan and Yan Rui to sit in the same car, as for Cai Yong, he only rode a horse again. After doing all this, Lu Bu set up his halberd and rode his horse, and ordered the army to continue to move forward, striving to catch up with the front army led by Huang Zhong before dawn.

After a night of rapid travel, the two armies finally rounded in Hongnong, and then galloped through the starry night for several days, and the Bingzhou army passed through Qingni Pass and Lantian successively. Finally, they arrived in Chang'an in the early morning of the fourth day. After only resting in Chang'an for one day and preparing the necessary ordnance, grain and grass for the army, Lu Bu hurriedly resigned and led the army to aid Jingyang in the starry night.

The rolling Yellow River, the majestic, the surging river, the churning turbid water, like thousands of yellow phosphorus dragons with teeth and claws, thunder and lightning all the way, roaring. Suddenly, soaring into the air; Suddenly, swooping down. Like a 100-meter sprint, invincible.

After Zhang Liao led his troops across the river, the second wave of men and horses was the 20,000 front army led by Huang Zhong, including 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, including men and horses, and it took half a day to cross the Yellow River. After that, the rear army led by Lu Bu and the trap camp led by Gao Shun to protect the grain and grass, with a total of 80,000 men and horses from all walks of life, took a whole day to cross the vast Yellow River under the full force of hundreds of large and small warships. Against the darkness of the night, he marched to Jingyang, a military town in Yongzhou.

Lu Bule Ma Ti Xuan, overlooking the dilapidated city walls of Chang'an: "A certain has been out of trouble, now it is the dragon into the sea, the tiger leaping into the mountains and forests, Meng De, Liu Bei, one day, I will come back, when the deer dies, let's see!" ”

Under the city of Jingyang, a military town in Yongzhou, the sound of killing shook the sky and arrows flew one after another.

10,000 Xiliang troops with the banner of the word "Liang" besieged Jingyang City and attacked day and night, under continuous pressure, the resistance in the city became more and more sparse, and there were signs of gradually breaking the city.

There are 3,000 county soldiers in Jingyang City, facing several times the enemy generals, stubbornly resisted for three days and three nights, the equipment for defending the city has almost been exhausted, at this moment except for some professional crossbowmen's quivers and some carved arrows, the quiver of ordinary soldiers has long been empty.

The situation was critical, and the soldiers had to sharpen the hard wooden branches such as ash and wicker as arrowheads, although the lethality was limited, but they were finally able to slightly block the attack of the Xiliang army, as long as they delayed for a while, there was hope of waiting for reinforcements.

Seeing that the crossbow arrows on the head of the city were becoming more and more sparse. Liang Xing, who was carrying a spear, led a hundred and ten followers to gallop down the city, specializing in slashing and killing obscene soldiers.

"The whole army is trying its best to attack the city, and whoever dares to retreat will be killed!"

As the commander of the army this time, Liang Xing will not allow failure, Cheng Yin and they have successively broken through Huaili, Xianyang, Wugong, Chiyang and other counties, only he and Hou Xuan still attacked Jingyang, thinking of Ma Teng who was sitting in Xinping, Liang Xing's heart was cold. If Jingyang could not be captured this time, the army would not be able to cross the Yellow River, and by that time, I am afraid that ten heads would not be enough for Ma Teng to chop and chop. As a result, under Liang Xing's strong supervision, more than 10,000 Xiliang troops shouted again, sounded the horn to shake their spirits, and launched another wave of fierce offensives, striving to break through Jingyang City in one fell swoop.

In the face of the stormy attack of the Xiliang army, Wu Yi's face was full of despair: "Why have the reinforcements not arrived for a long time, why, pity me, all the people in the city are going to die at the hands of the Qiang people." ”

"Hey, Lord Taishou, look, reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived"

A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly saw that the east was dusty, the sky was only a light pale yellow at first, and slowly became heavier and heavier, from light yellow to black and brown, and the dust covered the sky and the sun, like a dark cloud pressing on the top, what was it if it was not reinforcements.

When Wu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked, supported him with his sword, and raised his morale: "The reinforcements of the imperial court have arrived, and the thieves are just around the corner, and the soldiers are desperately defending it, and the siege of Jingyang will be solved today."

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the spirit of the soldiers and civilians on the city wall was greatly shaken, and the few crossbow arrows and rolling stones in their hands beckoned to the Xiliang miscellaneous army, and finally repelled the onslaught of the Xiliang army at a precarious and dangerous juncture, so that Jingyang City could not fall.

And the state army hunted under the banner, Gan Ning took the lead, charged ahead, and was invincible everywhere he went.

Liang Xing saw that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and did not dare to attack the city with all his might, so he turned around and fought with the Bingzhou army in a scuffle, and the two sides fought for an afternoon on the small plain of Jingyang City.

Just when the Bingzhou army rushed to aid Jingyang, Ma Teng also got a report, and ordered the general Pang De and the general Yang Qiu to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to cross Jingshui and come to assist Liang Xing and Hou Xuan to fight against the Bingzhou army.

Zhang Liao's vanguard army was only 10,000, and the number was already evenly divided, so he didn't dare to risk using troops at night, so he retreated to ten miles and set up camp to see that the sky was bright, and Gan Ning immediately ran to Zhang Liao's tent to ask for battle.

At this time, Zhang Liao was studying the art of war in front of the case, and when he saw Gan Ning walking into the big tent majestically, Zhang Liao immediately greeted him: "Xingba, what are you doing here?" ”

Gan Ning smiled, so he told Zhang Liao what he wanted to challenge.

"Xingba, according to the Tanmalai report, 20,000 Xiliang troops arrived at Jingyang City last night, and now the thieves are huge, we can only stand still, and when the follow-up army arrives, we are making a decision." Regarding Gan Ning's idea of sending troops to challenge, Zhang Liao immediately put forward different opinions.

"Wenyuan, the vanguard takes the lead in the battle, probing the enemy's reality and reality, and strengthening the prestige of the army, how can he be stagnant? Although there are many thieves, but there are a rabble, what is there to fear? If you don't want to go to war, you can allocate 5,000 soldiers and horses to fight me, and I will fight myself!" ”

"Xingba, the lord once said, tell me not to look at any enemy, otherwise I will suffer a catastrophe, this Ma Teng's Xiliang army is much more powerful than Dong Zhuo's, but you are also right, the pioneer is the first, explore the enemy's reality, we will go to challenge, but we must make it clear first, if it is the enemy force, we must not fall in love with the war, when the army is quickly withdrawn, waiting for the army to come to make a decision!"

"If it weren't for Wen Yuan's reminder, I would have to commit the crime of underestimating the enemy" It wasn't until Zhang Liao reminded that Gan Ning suddenly sounded the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass not long ago, on the night of the retreat, he almost lost his life because of his own light on the enemy, and he felt a chill down his spine when he thought about it. However, seeing that Zhang Liao agreed to send troops to call for battle, Gan Ning was happy again, but he put away his previous contempt.

With the horn of the battle tearing through the sky, the camp gate of the state army slowly opened, and after leaving 2,000 people to defend the camp, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning led 8,000 soldiers and horses to kill the Xiliang army.
