In front of the water pass, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Xu Ji's army, under the leadership of Guan Hai, rushed towards Bishui Pass. Behind him were the archers and crossbowmen of the Yanzhou army.

One after another, crossbow arrows and eagle arrows flew towards Bishui Pass in a perfect arc of tens of thousands with a sharp whistling sound, and there was a strong smell of killing in the air.

Through a powerful crossbow and a divine arm bow equipped with rockets, the enemies on the city wall of Bishui Pass have cowered at the head of the city.

Of course, there are huge bows and crossbows on the Bishui Pass, but the problem is that no one can stand up at all now, and the range of the Yanzhou army's bows and crossbows is too long, and the lethality is too huge, and there is no way to fight at all.

Under the strong suppression of their own side, the Yanzhou army soon approached the front of the pass.

The guard on the Bishui Pass still had some skills, and when he saw that the Yanzhou army had come to the pass, he knew that this was his only chance to kill and wound the enemy. Hurriedly ordered the soldiers to move all the equipment guarding the city in Xiguan here.

Although there is no way to use the bow and arrow, the rolling wood and the hook distance oil bottle can still be used in squatting.

The Yanzhou army began to climb, like ants beginning to climb the trunk of a towering tree, and defied the Xiongguan in front of them with extremely rapid speed.

The defenders heard the sound and began to crouch and desperately throw their weapons downward. Although the lethality of the time is greatly reduced due to the posture, it is still much stronger than the previous one with no fighting back.

The soldiers of the Yanzhou army fell into the city one after another.

At the same time, Guan Hai brought more soldiers closer to the wall. Those soldiers of Yuan Shu heard the sound closer, and they all desperately defended, and the equipment used to defend the city was thrown towards the Yanzhou army one by one. Guan Hai didn't expect the enemy on the water pass to be so difficult, and he could only stay on the ladder for a while. Use the spear in your hand to push away the rolling logs.

At this moment, a large army from the west of Bishui Pass arrived. Of course, Yu Ban's army, which had made an appointment with Xu Ji to siege the city, drove to the front of Bishui Pass.

Yu Ban's army crossed the moat directly and began the siege on the west side of Bishui Pass.

The defenders of Bishui Pass were caught off guard and were powerless to stop the attack of the forbidden army. The thing they regretted the most was that they moved all the tools of the Xiguan garrison to the east.

Yu Ban's army climbed the western city wall without much effort.

The defenders of Bishui Pass were frightened and scattered, who knows, at the same time as the forbidden army attacked the city, a fleet floated on the big river north of Bishui Pass, and the ships of this fleet were huge, and the word "Yanzhou" fluttered on them.

Without looking, it is clear that this fleet was sent by Liang Xi, after Xu Ji achieved Chen Liu's decisive victory. Listening to the advice of the military advisor Xu Shu, he sent the army to go up the river and came to the north of Bishui Pass, preparing to land from here to attack Bishui Pass, and form an encirclement with the first two armies.

After Liang Xi's army disembarked from the ships, they mercilessly participated in the siege of the city.

Not long after, Liang Xi's army also climbed the city wall.

The defending enemy of Bishui Pass was attacked on three sides, and in desperation, they divided their troops to resist, so they came. The pressure on the Yanzhou army in the east was greatly reduced.

Guan Hai heard that there was a great sound of killing in the city, and knew that his reinforcements had arrived, and his spirit was lifted, and his mouth roared again and again. He used the spear in his hand to pick up a boulder of hundreds of catties that was falling towards his head.

At this time, because the enemy at Bishui Pass had been dispersed, the pressure on the Yanzhou army besieging the city in the east was greatly reduced. It only took a few steps for Guan Hai to climb the tower.

As soon as I climbed the tower. Guan Hai roared, and the spear in his hand was centered on himself. Within a radius of two zhang, the cold light was dotted, and he attacked the enemy without sparing.

When he boarded, weapons, blood, bodies, etc., were all picked up.

Guan Hai was very happy.

And behind Guan Hai, the Yanzhou army also climbed the city wall one by one with agility like a leopard.

At this time, Xu Jizai, who was dressed in a dark shirt, had already seen Guan Hai's majestic posture at the head of the city from a distance, nodded slightly, waved his hand, and the shadows behind him that were originally as silent as the numbers in nature immediately snatched out like lightning.

Good steel is used on the blade, and although the Phantom is omnipotent, it does not have a clear advantage over other armies when it comes to siege. Now, on the other hand, now that it is safe to climb the top of the city, let the Shadows enter the Bianshui Pass, and with their unmatched lethality and perverted equipment at medium and close ranges, the power is very different.

In an instant, the shadow of the Yanzhou army has already climbed the city wall, one by one holding a repeater, with Guan Hai and other armies began to sweep away the stubborn enemy on the Bishui Pass, the appearance of the phantom has become a nightmare for the enemy guarding the Bishui Pass, they have long known from the intelligence of the Chen Palace that there is a kind of strong crossbow soldiers in the Yanzhou army who can fire crossbow arrows in a row, and as soon as they come into contact with it today, they immediately collapsed and were killed by the Yanzhou army.

Yu Ban and Guan Hai saw each other in the tide of defeat.

Their eyes lit up at the same time, and they came together laughing and came together with a bear hug. Yu Ban and Guan Hai were familiar with each other before he was transferred to Chang'an, and this time it was a long time before they met again.

"Wen Ze, seeing that you are proud of the spring breeze now, you know that you have made a lot of gains in Hongnong County!" As soon as Guan Hai remembered the continuous battles between Yu Ban in Bingzhou and Sizhou, he said enviously.

Yu Ban smiled slightly, and first ordered his subordinates to continue to chase after the fleeing soldiers in Bishuiguan, and then turned his head and said, "Isn't General Guan Hai also killing people?" ”

Guan Hai deliberately sighed and said: "His grandmother's, Yuan Shu's army is too unsuccessful, every time it is Lao Tzu who is addicted to killing, so the turtle son will scatter and flee, look, just like now." ”

Yu Ban and Guan Hai looked at each other and laughed, and after a while, Yu Ban suppressed his laughter and said to Guan Hai: "By the way, what about the lord?" ”

Guan Hai hurriedly ordered his soldiers to open the east gate of Bishui Pass, which had been occupied by his side, and welcome Xu Ji into the city.

By the time Xu Ji entered the city, the battle at Bishui Pass had ended, and the occasional resistance had been quickly extinguished by the Yanzhou army patrolling around.

Yu Ban was in the marching procession of the chaotic captives, and saw Xu Ji at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him.

Xu Ji dismounted and picked up Yu Ban, who was about to bow down, with his hand. Laughing, he took Yu Ban and Guan Hai's hands and walked into the meeting hall of Bishui Pass.

After the three of them were seated, Xu Ji first ordered the partial generals of the fleet sent by Liang Xi to assist in the siege. He was asked to go back and return to his life, after the general respectfully retreated. Xu Jicai asked Yu Ban: "Wen Ze, how is the war in Hongnong County?" ”

A smile escaped from Yu Ban's face, and he said to Xu Ji: "Lord, Zhang Yunkong has the title of a famous general in Jingzhou, but the march and battle are full of loopholes, it is really not worth mentioning, if it weren't for the lord's order, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi would kill Zhang Yun and abandon his armor, and none of them would leave Zhang Yun behind." ”

Xu Ji nodded. He said in a deep voice: "Wen Ze, don't underestimate Zhang Yun, in fact, this person is best at the navy, don't ignore him because he is not good at land warfare." ”

Yu Ban's face turned pale, and he said respectfully to Xu Ji: "What the lord said is extremely true, but his subordinate is Meng Lang." ”

Xu Ji was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "What I'm most worried about now is Sun Ce, unintentionally, we did Sun Ce a great favor, and Zhang Yun's 70,000 army was pinned down here by us." That was tantamount to weakening Jingzhou's ability to resist Sun Ce. ”

Yu Ban nodded and said, "This point has been analyzed by Mr. Tian Feng and Mr. Fu Zhu for a long time. However, this matter is really helpless, so I have to temporarily cheap Sun Ce. ”

Xu Ji had long known that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu would see through this situation, so he could only smile bitterly.

Guan Hai hated the root of his teeth on the side, and cursed in a low voice. Then he said: "Then can't we strike a full-scale war with Zhang Yun's army?" Let Zhang Yun go back to deal with Sun Ce? ”

Xu Ji shook his head and said, "I also think about this, the question is, what is the reason for our withdrawal?" ”

Yu Ban nodded and said: "The lord's concern is reasonable, you must know that the reason for our war with the Jingzhou army is that the lord is missing." Hunted down in Jingzhou, and now we have suddenly withdrawn our troops. It's really unreasonable. ”

Guan Hai remembered that night when Xu Ji analyzed the situation in front of them to them, and he could only sigh when he heard this. Only then do we know what it means to be pressing.

Xu Ji stood up and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, before the matter of Chang'an is resolved, the matter of my fake disappearance must not be exposed." ”

The two nodded, and Yu Ban smiled at Xu Ji: "Lord, we have tried our best to remedy this matter." ”

Xu Ji turned his head to look at Yu Ban, and said with great interest: "Oh, it seems that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu came up with a way." ”

Yu Ban nodded and said: "The two gentlemen are spreading the news on the front line, saying that Sun Ce is sending a large army to attack Jingzhou, I believe that this news will soon reach Zhang Yun's ears, and Zhang Yun will definitely ask Liu Biao to return to the army." ”

Xu Ji nodded and said: "This is an idea, after all, now Sun Ce is a little-known person, no one in Jingzhou will pay attention to him, for Zhang Yun, it is much easier to deal with Sun Ce than to deal with the Yanzhou army, now Zhang Yun has suffered so many losses in the hands of our Yanzhou army, he must not want to entangle with our army anymore, and it is normal to propose to return to the army to encircle and suppress Sun Ce, but Liu Biao will not relax the prevention of our army." He will definitely send someone else to the front. ”

Guan Hai nodded on the side and said: "That's it, after all, Wen Ze, you came here to march secretly, because if you let others know about your actions, I am afraid that people with intentions will immediately doubt the authenticity of the lord's disappearance, and there is no reason to withdraw from the front line at such a critical juncture, unless the lord is not missing." ”

Xu Ji and Yu Ban glanced at each other in amazement, they didn't expect Guan Hai, a reckless man, to say such a reasonable thing, and even said the reason why Xu Ji secretly ordered Yu Ban to march here.

Guan Hai still said without hesitation: "So, Wen Ze, you can't stay here for too long, otherwise this matter will be revealed sooner or later." ”

Xu Ji laughed and said, "Guan Hai, you are not as bad as Bo Cai said!" ”

Guan Hai woke up and smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words.

Yu Ban looked at Guan Hai and smiled: "General Guan Hai is reasonable, and the lord is extremely worried, so the two gentlemen Tian Feng will spread another rumor, hey, now one of the two armies in Hongnong County has been widely spread: 'Yanzhou's elite soldiers are unstoppable, but I am afraid that Li Yan embroiders the spear, and Yu Ban has no way to lead the army, but Li Yan is long'." In order to cooperate with this rumor, Mr. Tian Feng and Mr. Fu Zhu and Li Yan also joined hands to perform several plays, Mr. Tian Feng and Mr. Fu Zhu attacked the city again and again, all of which were resolved by Li Yan one by one, and Li Yan even with the cooperation of the two gentlemen, miraculously broke many of our army's clever plans. Coupled with the brilliant record of being equal to General Junqing, Li Yan can now be said to be famous. ”

Yu Ban paused. He also said: "When the Jingzhou army mentions Li Yan now, they are all excited. He also regarded Li Yan as a new generation of war gods and wise generals in Jingzhou, and followed closely behind Huang Zhong. Even Wei Yan, who was defeated at the hands of General Junqing, was famous. ”

Xu Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again: "I see!" You raise Li Yan's position in the enemy army, so that Zhang Yun will recommend Li Yan to Liu Biao to lead the military affairs of Hongnong County. ”

Yu Ban said with a smile: "That's right, Zhang Yun will definitely ask Li Yan how many people he needs when he leaves, and at that time, Li Yan can say that only 20,000 people and Wei Yan are enough." In this way, Zhang Yun can take 50,000 people away. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "This idea can be described as the best of both worlds, which has caused Sun Ce a lot of trouble. It can also completely control Hongnong in our hands in disguise. ”

Yu Ban nodded and said: "Of course, Li Yan now has a very high prestige in the army, and it is really easy to launch a mutiny in the future." ”

Xu Ji exclaimed: "Fu Zhu and Tian Feng really deserve to be the wise men of the world, which is really extraordinary. He turned his head and said to Ban: "So, Wen Ze, don't rest here, go back to Hongnong immediately, don't arouse suspicion." ”

Yu Ban nodded.

Xu Ji turned around again and looked in the direction of Jingzhou. In his heart, he was calculating how long he would have to hide his identity, and he remembered Chen Dao who was rampaging in Jingzhou.

I don't know what happened to Chen Zhi, Xu Ji is really a little worried about Chen Zhi, who has always been loyal like a brother.

At this time, Chen Zhizheng was standing on the outskirts of Jianchang City. A frown.

Chen Zhi has been wandering here for two days, but unfortunately he has not thought of a way to cross the river.

Not long ago, there was a series of bloody battles between Pengze and Chaisang. The two sides of the war turned out to be Sun Ce's army and the Jingzhou army.

How could Sun Cejun be here? This is something that Chen Zhi can't figure out at all.

According to the original plan, Chen Zhi originally wanted to cross the river south of Poyang Lake without realizing it. Then sneaked into Yangzhou and went to Liu Xuan.

It's good now. Because of the fierce battle between the two sides, there is no way to pass at all, almost all the boats in this area have been requisitioned by the two armies, and they can't find a boat if they want to find it, and now the only way is to continue to go south, but it is necessary to go far to Luling and then go south to Shixing before they can bypass the big river and move eastward, but in this way, they are undoubtedly a far detour, and they don't care, but it is absolutely unfavorable to Xu Ji's major events.

If he doesn't return to Yanzhou for a day, Xu Ji won't be able to show up for a day.

Although no one sent Chen Zhi a message, but Chen Zhi's news was still very well-informed, he had already arrested the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army and Sun Cejun and asked, knew the latest development of the Central Plains war situation, and knew that Xu Ji had broken Yuan Shu, that is to say, for Xu Ji, there was still a Youzhou and Chang'an left in the troubles in the north, and at most there was a Qingzhou that had no resistance at all, so Chen Zhi knew very well that he must not wander outside for too long.

The most upsetting thing for Chen Zhi is that even if he goes south, he doesn't know what will happen, because he heard the local people say that the further south he goes, the more barbarian the land becomes, where there are many ethnic minorities, and the people in these places are fierce and extremely hostile to the Han people, if the Han people accidentally break in, most of them will die.

Chen Zhi is not afraid of this, the problem is that once he has a conflict with these people, he doesn't know when he can get out.

If you go back to the north, I'm afraid it will be even more unfeasible.

For a while, Chen was at a loss.

Suddenly, the wind is blowing behind you!

Chen Zhi's heart sank: What a fast bow and arrow!

Could it be Huang Zhong again? Chen Zhi felt a chill in his heart, if he was entangled by Huang Zhong at this time, it would be terrible, and he really didn't know when he would be able to return to Yanzhou.

There was no time to turn back, Chen Zhi quickly lowered his head, and his whole body was completely on the horse's back, while not forgetting to open his eyes to look at the sneak attacker behind him.

I saw that a hundred steps behind Chen Zhi was a big man who was immediately bending his bow and shooting at Chen Zhi!

Chen Zhi let out a long breath: It turned out that it was not Huang Zhong, and it was a person, so it would be easy to send it away.

While thinking about it, Chen Zhi was shocked to find that the enemy's second carved arrow had silently arrived at the belly of his war horse.

Chen Zhi felt a pang in his heart, he didn't expect the archery skills of the big man behind him to be so powerful, and hurriedly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse given to him by Xu Ji under his crotch reacted like a psychic, and his body retreated to the side, and he let the carved arrow go.

Chen Zhi shouted, and magically picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, turned the horse's head like lightning, and raised his hand to be an arrow.

The big man on the opposite side burst into light in his eyes, snorted coldly in his mouth, and shot another arrow.

The carved arrows of the two sides collided together in mid-air, and the tips of the arrows met the tips of the arrows!

A "ding" sounded.

Chen Zhi's heart was hot, he really didn't expect that there would be such a master here! Without further ado, he rode his horse and speared towards the big man.

The big man was also surprised, seeing Chen Zhi rushing over, he hurriedly put away his bow and arrows, grabbed the iron halberd, urged the war horse, and rushed towards Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi knew that the other party's big man was strong in martial arts, and he was afraid that he would call his accomplices to entangle him again, so he went all out as soon as he made a move, and the whistling silver spear with a strange suction force marked the face of the big man.

The tip of the gun trembled, and the brilliance was bright.

A flash of light flashed in the big man's eyes, and he snorted coldly, and the iron halberd in his hand was waved.

With a "dang" sound, the two passed by.

Blood splattered! (To be continued......)
