Chapter 770: The Battle of Huainan Begins

In the Huainan Army barracks that was disturbed by Deng Zhan with twelve dragoon guards.

Several corpses were placed side by side in the open space in the camp, and the most eye-catching was the corpse in the general's armor.

Ji Ling was very familiar with that corpse.

Zhang Xun was wearing a general's armor, he was hit by a sword in his chest, and half of his neck was cut raw, and Bai Sensen's neck bone could almost be seen.

Standing next to Zhang Xun's corpse, Ji Ling looked down at Zhang Xun, who had already been known about his life, frowned tightly, and said to a personal soldier behind him: "Immediately report to Your Majesty, General Zhang Xun was poisoned and has died!" ”

"No!" A personal soldier who came with Ji Ling responded with his fists, ran to the war horse not far away, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and rode his horse towards Shouchun City.

When the soldiers who reported to Yuan Shu left, Ji Ling pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, walked around the corpse, looked at the corpse and exclaimed: "What a skillful technique, a sword is deadly!" I'm afraid all of the people who sneaked into the camp are swordsmanship! ”

Successfully assassinated Zhang Xun, Deng Zhan led twelve dragoon guards and walked through the tomb for nearly two hours before returning to the shore of the river.

By the time they had crossed the water, it was already dark.

"General Deng is back!" As soon as Deng Zhan and the others returned to Yu Linwei's barracks, a Yu Linwei who was guarding outside the Yamen shouted loudly into the barracks.

Chen Gong and Gao Shun, who had not slept all night and had been waiting for Deng Zhan, heard the shouts of the Yulin guards, and hurriedly got out of the camp tent and rushed towards the water.

Gao Shun was a military general after all, and when he ran to the shore of the river, he clasped his hands into fists, saluted Deng Zhan and asked, "General Deng, how is it?" ”

Just after the water, Deng Zhan, who was still wet, gave Gao Shun a salute and said to him: "Thanks to General Fu, you have successfully killed Zhang Xun!" ”

Although Deng Zhan said this to Gao Shun, he happened to be heard by Chen Gong, who was running towards them.

"General Deng killed Zhang Xun?" Running in front of Deng Zhan, Chen Gong arched at him with his fists in his hands, and asked him as if he wanted to get the exact news.

Knowing that Chen Gong wanted to get the exact news, Deng Zhan gave him a salute and said: "The last general killed Zhang Xun with his own hands, there is no doubt that he is himself!" ”

After getting the definite news from Deng Zhan's mouth, Chen Gong turned his head to look at the dark and dark tomb on the opposite side of the riverbank, and said as if talking to himself: "As soon as Zhang Xun dies, Yuan Shu will definitely transfer the army into the city, and His Highness thinks that it is time to lead the army to cross the river!" ”

"Annoying General Gao, I ordered someone to go and present it to His Highness, and said that Zhang Xun had been killed!" Clenched his fists and arched towards Gao Shun, Deng Zhan made a request to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun nodded, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Someone, go and report to His Highness quickly, just say that General Deng has killed Zhang Xun!" ”

"No!" A little far away from the servants, a Yulin guard responded with a fist, turned around and ran towards his war horse, turned over and stepped on the horse's back, raised the horsewhip and threw it heavily, and rode the horse towards the shore of Huaishui.

Looking at the back of Yu Linwei's departure, Chen Gong let out a long sigh and said to Deng Zhan and Gao Shun: "The war to attack Huainan is finally about to begin!" ”

Listening to Chen Gong's exclamation, Deng Zhan and Gao Shun glanced at each other, and then both of them turned their heads to look at the Xiangling Tomb on the other side of the riverbank, and their eyes also flashed with expectation.

The Qin army has long been planning to attack Huainan, and has been waiting for a long time, and now the real war has just begun!

The morning sun rises from the end of the horizon, and the orange sun spreads over the earth, covering the earth with a golden coat.

Liu Wei stood on the bank of the Huaishui with his hands behind his back, staring at the sparkling Huaishui with his eyes unblinking, and quietly listened to the military report that the Yulin guards reported to him that Deng Zhan had killed Zhang Xun.

"General Deng has indeed killed Zhang Xun?" When the Yulin guards finished speaking, Liu Wei did not look back, but still looked at Huaishui, and asked him in a very calm tone.

"Back to His Royal Highness, General Deng personally killed Zhang Xun, and there is no doubt that it was Zhang Xun himself who died!" Clenching his fists and bowing, the Yulin guard responded.

Knowing that Deng Zhan would not be mistaken, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the rising sun that had just risen from the horizon in the east, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was talking to himself: "This king has waited for a long time, and he can finally wave his troops south to defeat Yuan Shu!" ”

"Pass the order, and the army will cross the river immediately!" Taking his eyes off the rising sun, Liu Wei looked across the river bank and gave an order to Lu Bu and Tai Shici, who were standing behind him.

Knowing that the army was going to cross the Huai River, Lu Bu and Tai Shici were both overjoyed, the two glanced at each other, and almost simultaneously turned their heads and ran towards the barracks.

"Your Highness has an order, the whole army crosses the river!" Running into the barracks, Lu Bu and Tai Shici separated from each other, shouting loudly while running in the barracks.

Stationed on the bank of the Huai River for several days, the main force of the 70,000 Qin army was already waiting a little anxiously, hearing the shouts of Lu Bu and Tai Shici, many soldiers even didn't believe their ears, turned their heads to look at the two people who ran over, and didn't react for a while to pack up and prepare to cross the river.

"Hurry up, pack your bags and get ready to cross the river!" While running, he shouted to the soldiers of the Qin army, asking them to prepare to cross the river, and Lu Bu's face was still filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

Liu Wei took him as the main general and led the expedition to Huainan to defeat Yuan Shu.

originally thought that when he came to Huainan, he would be able to redeem his past mistakes with his military exploits on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that when he arrived on the bank of the Huai River, Liu Wei actually ordered the army to be stationed in place.

This stop is a few days, although he understands Liu Wei's approach very well, but every time he thinks of not being able to cross the river to fight with Yuan Jun, Lu Bu still feels a burst of boredom in his heart.

Like Lu Bu, when he received the order to cross the river, Tai Shici could not hide the excitement in his heart.

When he came to Huainan this time, he had only one task, and that was to follow Liu Wei to protect Liu Wei.

But Tai Shici knew that once he crossed the Huai River and fought with the Huainan army, I am afraid that Liu Wei would not keep him by his side at that time, but would let him lead the soldiers and horses to fight against the Huainan army.

This expedition to Huainan, there are not many generals from the Qin army, and Lu Bu's three deputy generals, except for Zhou Cang's martial arts, Han Xian and Yang Feng are just ordinary.

Lacking fierce generals, Liu Wei categorically will not watch the army break its spirit, he is too Shi Ci to go to the battlefield, there is no need for Liu Wei to say, it is already a sure thing!

Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci were beckoning the soldiers to pack up, and Zhou Cang and the others, who were still idle in the barracks to nap, heard the shout, and hurriedly stood up, stretching out their heads to look at Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci, who were full of excitement.

"The two generals didn't think about crossing the river and already dared to disobey His Highness's military orders, right?" Looking at Lu Bu and Tai Shici, Zhou Cang muttered to Han Xian and Yang Feng on the side.

"What are you doing?" Before Yang Feng and Han Xian had time to respond to Zhou Cang, Lu Bu had already seen them, raised his hand and pointed at them and shouted, "Your Highness has an order, the whole army crosses the river!" ”

"Wen Hou, you can't be mistaken, right?" After listening to Lu Bu's words, Zhou Cang still looked disbelieving, looked at him and asked, "Your Highness really ordered the whole army to cross the river?" ”

"General Zhou, what do you mean?" Zhou Cang was still suspicious of this order, and Lu Bu stopped, furrowed his brows and asked him.

"Without him, it's just that our army has been stationed north of the Huai River for a few days, and we haven't seen any movement on the other side today, why did Your Highness suddenly order to cross the river?" Clenched his fists and arched towards Lu Bu, and Zhou Cang asked him the question in his heart.

"General Deng led twelve dragoon guards into the Huainan Army camp at night and beheaded the commander Zhang Xun! There is no commander of the Huainan Army outside Shouchun City, and seeing that he is about to retreat into the city, how can His Highness not grasp such a fighter? Looking at Zhou Cang, Lu Bu frowned, and truthfully told Zhou Cang and the others the news he heard from Yu Linwei.

Hearing that Deng Zhan took twelve dragoon guards into the Huainan Army camp at night, and successfully killed Zhang Xun, Zhou Cang and the others were also stunned.

The servants glanced at each other, and Han Xian muttered, "Good girl!" The dragoon guards are really amazing, more than a dozen people entered the army of 100,000, and they were able to cut off the head of the main general! ”

"Don't delay, the three generals should pack up quickly and lead the army to cross the river with this general!" Looking at Zhou Cang and the others, Lu Bu gave them another command.

This time, Zhou Cang and the others did not raise any more questions, but saluted Lu Bu with their fists in unison, and responded: "No!" ”

The main officers and soldiers of the Qin army, who received the order to cross the river, did not know why Liu Wei suddenly ordered to cross the river.

After Lu Bu told Zhou Cang and others about Deng Zhan leading twelve dragoon guards to infiltrate the 100,000 Huainan Army camp and successfully kill Zhang Xun, Zhou Cang and others told the news to the officers in front of their tents.

When the officers got the news, they naturally did not hide it, and in order to show that they knew more than ordinary soldiers, they quickly passed the news to ordinary soldiers.

It didn't take long for the 70,000 troops to know that Deng Zhan led more than a dozen dragoons into the Huainan Army camp.

Before the two armies started the war, the enemy army surrendered first, which was undoubtedly a great encouragement to the Qin army.

The army of 70,000 men, fully prepared before the sun was three poles old, boarded the ferry, which had already been raised, and advanced across the river.

Standing on the bow of one of the ferries, Liu Wei pressed the hilt of his sword, frowned slightly, and stared at the opposite shore, his eyes flashing with a color that was difficult to hide his excitement.

A long time ago, Xu Shu and Pang Tong had set a plan for him to capture Huainan, and in order to find the truth to attack Huainan, Yang Feng even died in Shouchun City!

Preparations have been made for a long time, as long as the Huainan army shrinks into Shouchun City and the Qin army crosses the Huai River, the battle of Huainan will really begin!

"Your Highness!" Looking at the opposite side of the riverbank, Lu Bu's voice came from behind Liu Wei, only to hear Lu Bu ask him: "Our army has pushed closer to the outside of Shouchun City, but we want to build a catapult immediately and attack Shouchun City?" ”
