In the fourth year of the first peace, in the summer of 193 AD, Xuzhou Mu Zhang Lang, commanded 50,000 horse infantry, and the generals Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zangba, etc., and planned Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, Xu Shu, etc. Xu Sheng was the grain officer. Gao Shun led 30,000 troops to guard the counties of Xuzhou. Jiang Yu, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Zhang Zhao and so on complement each other. Langyao is still guarded by Chen Deng.

The striker Tai Shici led 3,000 troops and went first. Zhang Lang led the army to Xuyi.

On the expedition, all the women said goodbye one by one, Wen Ji, Xiu'er, Mihuan all tears filled her eyes and cherished the parting words. Zhang Lang has a heart, men should be ambitious in all directions, how can they be nostalgic for the gentle countryside. Yang Rong and Zhao Yu walked side by side on the left and on the right. Both of them are dressed in silver-white chain mail, with peacock feathers on their heads, and they are feminine.

Zhao Yun's 3,000 heavy armored cavalry was ordered to go out for the first time, which was one of Zhang Lang's secret weapons.

The history of Xuyi in the Qin Dynasty placed the county, because the county governance was set up on the mountain, take the meaning of "open eyes for Xu, directly regard as Yi", so the name of the county is called "Xuyi". Xuyi is connected to Jinhu and Hongze in the east, Sizhou in the north, and Huainan in the west. Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River, on the south bank of Hongze, the main tributary of the lower reaches of the Huai River is Surabaya, which flowed from the southeast of the mountain in ancient times and joined the Huai River near Huai'an. Huai'an and Xuyi control the way in the direction of Surabaya. If Shouchun wants to send troops to attack Xu, Xuyi is the first choice, and he can go straight to the hinterland. It can be seen that this is a strategic location.

Today, Yuan Shuling's general Zhang Xun led several generals and stationed 100,000 soldiers, threatening Xuzhou at all times. If Zhang Lang wants to go south, he must first pull out this thorn in his eye.

Zhang Lang led the Chinese army to the camp, made five watches, and set off at dawn. All the way down rain or shine. When resting, Zhang Liao always chooses a high ground, the terrain is dangerous, and the north is close to the mountain and water under the village. Just in case.

After a company marched for several days, the vanguard had been killed in the territory of Linhuai.

Yuan Shu's general, Zhang Xun, who guarded Xuyi, learned that Xuzhou had sent troops south. Furious, the general of the collection of troops discussed: "Now Xuzhou Zhang Lang leads Xuzhou Mu, the name is not right, I want to express the lord of the northern expedition to Xuzhou, I didn't expect Zhang Lang to send troops to Xuyi first, the forward Tai Shici has been in the territory, and his heart can be punished." ”

Zhang Xun looks like a rough man, about forty years, square face and thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, how to think he is a barbarian, but when he looks closely, he finds that this person is by no means simple, his eyes are bright, and he flashes twice from time to time, there is a statue of wisdom. Dressed in a battle armor, he is extraordinary.

The general Xun Zhengze is a thief with a rat head, looks like silver, and wearing armor also makes people feel that he must be a destroyer. I saw him sneering twice and said: "This is a good time for the general to make meritorious contributions, and if he breaks the Xuzhou army, the general will definitely be promoted several levels in a row." ”

Zhang Xun nodded and said in a rough voice: "However, the Xuzhou Army just retreated from Cao's 300,000 army not long ago, so it should not be underestimated. ”

It seems that Zhang Xun is also scared of Cao Ying, otherwise he would not have spoken so unconfidently.

Xun Zheng's thief's eyes turned around, and he was a little unconvinced: "Why should the general grow the ambition of others, destroy his own prestige, come and say that with the general's martial arts, he will cut off Zhang Lang's dog head in less than three rounds, and I should try my best to wave the flag and shout for the general to help the army." ”

This Xun Zheng really doesn't seem to be a good thing, and he's very good at sycophants. Under the Xuzhou army, as a general of Zhang Xun's subordinates, he did not ask for an order to go to war and instigated Zhang Xun to lead the troops in person. I don't know if I know that I can't do martial arts, or what.

The subordinate general Chen Lan looked very unpleasant, and he had already had an opinion about Xun Zheng in his heart, but he saw that it was because he was the brother-in-law of Yuan Shu's beloved general Ji Ling, so he tolerated it. At this time, the exit said coldly: "Zhang Lang defeated Cao's army of 300,000 with 60,000 soldiers and horses, even if the lord bullied the widow with the public, 100,000 elite soldiers still couldn't defeat Cao Ying, and he was defeated in Kuangting." It can be seen that Zhang Lang is not simple. ”

Chen Lan seems to have some surnames, dare to speak bluntly about Yuan Shu's short affairs, belittle his master, and elevate his opponents, I don't know what Yuan Shu will do, and when he talks like this, he is not afraid to say short things to people with a heart, he is really a guy with developed limbs and a simple mind.

Lei Bo has always been good friends with Chen Lan, close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, and looks down on this person who can only borrow Ji Ling's relationship, coupled with flattery, and only climbed to this official position with a big flattery. also said coldly: "Zhang Lang's subordinate Gao Shun, Dian Wei is unstoppable, Xiaopei Cheng's Zhang Liao, Tai Shici and Xia Hou's two brothers are inseparable, I want to be the first general in our army, Ji Ling, and I haven't gone through fifty moves under Xia Houdun." It can be seen that these two people are strong. ”

This thunder is thin and quite strong, the limbs are strong, there is a faint scar on the face, and the eyes are not large, but it gives people a gloomy feeling.

Xun Zheng seems to have a strong immunity to the two of them, and the thickness of his skin is breathtaking. I saw him saliva splashing and shook his head and said: "Otherwise, Cao Ying's 300,000 army is almost all Yellow Turban soldiers who have just surrendered, and the training is not long ago, and the hearts of the people are unstable, it is not surprising that whoever will fight to the death will be defeated." And Gao Shun Dianwei is even more brave, what is the need to be afraid, I Xuyi 100,000 elite soldiers, well-trained, all of them are extremely brave, and Cao Shi is not the same as Cao Shi, as long as the general can raise the army to kill, he will defeat the Xuzhou soldiers. ”

Lei Bo snorted lightly, the corner of his mouth sneered, the scar on his face trembled slightly, and he said with a smile: "In this case, General Xun Zheng still asks you to go to war to keep me safe." ”

Xun Zheng smiled on his face, and excused himself: "How can you compare General Lei, your martial arts are ten times stronger, how dare you be ugly?" ”

Zhang Xun's face was dark and he did not express an opinion. Just bow your head and ponder. However, seeing that the battle with the Xuzhou Army had not started, his subordinates were like exploding pots, and he couldn't help but be upset for a while: "Don't fight." ”

Then he raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Happy." ”

Immediately, from a row of generals, a man who was in the prime of fighting, with a fierce face, a face full of flesh, and a bronze armor all over his body, responded in a deep voice: "The last general." ”

Zhang Xun was very satisfied with his mental state, and shouted with a token in his hand: "Order you to lead 10,000 troops and go out of the city to meet the Xuzhou army." The first battle is only allowed to win and not to lose, if it frustrates the spirit of our army, take you to ask. ”

Le shouted: "The last general will take the order." Then he ordered his troops and left.

Tai Shi Ci led 3,000 vanguard troops to camp fifty miles away from Yangcheng. At this time, the scouts in front reported that the smoke and dust were billowing under Yangcheng, and it seemed that a large group of people and horses set off to come here. After a while, another spy came in to report: "Xuyi guard general Zhang Xun sent his subordinate general Le to lead 10,000 troops and go out of the city to meet the battle." ”

Tai Shi Ci ordered his soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy.

Le led 10,000 soldiers out of Yangcheng, and Yang Ping, a general, offered a plan: "Xuzhou Taishi Ci is strong, the courage of ten thousand people, I view Huai Mountain is located in danger, many forests, trees, mountains and grasses, the general can be defeated when he fights, and his subordinates lead a military horse to ambush in the hidden area on the south side of Huai Mountain, and wait for the general to lead Tai Shi Ci to the number, and the ambush soldiers are all out, and the general is killing back the horse pistol, and the Xuzhou soldiers will be defeated." ”

Le nodded and said happily: "This plan is very good for me, and if you win, you should show your first merit in front of General Zhang." ”

Yang Ping thanked him, and led the troops away in his heart.

Soon the two armies met.

Le raised his knife and stepped out of the horse, fierce and vicious, and scolded with a whip: "Tai Shi Ci child, my lord and Zhang Lang do not violate the river water, and they have nothing to do with each other. You are not in Xuzhou Hengle, you are out of Xuyi, provoke trouble, ignite the flames of war, and deceive me Xuyi, is there no one? ”

Tai Shi Ci shot at the corner of the formation, and three thousand soldiers lined up, the flags fluttering, and the murderous spirit was soaring. Since he was on a horse, holding a steel gun, wearing a black armor, waving his shoulders in cyan, his beautiful temples rose in the wind, and he was arrogant. Zhile laughed and said, "Who is coming?" So insolent. I have long heard that Yuan Shu is extravagant and wanton, and the people are living very hard, and now I am the teacher of benevolence and righteousness in Xuzhou, and I go south to Yangzhou to save tens of millions of people in dire straits. As an official of the court, you do not benefit the people, but help and abuse, what crime should you be guilty of? If you obediently dismount and surrender, I can say a few kind words in front of adults, but I can spare your life, otherwise Taishi Ziyi will let you die without a whole body. ”

Le was furious, usually regarded himself as cautious, and thought that Xuyi was no opponent except for General Zhang Xun, so he couldn't help but raise his knife and slap the horse and rush out, and said: "I am Le Yi under General Zhang Xun, you are Tai Shici's child, take the dog's life." ”

Tai Shi Ci sneered and said: "Nameless, you are unlucky today, wait for me to take the dog's head sacrifice flag." ”

With a loud shout, he urged the yellow-maned horse to rush forward and raise the steel spear high. The soldiers of the two armies cheered loudly.

The two crossed horses for a round, and Le's arms were shaken by general numbness, and his palms trembled. Handed over twice, there was no knife at all, Tai Shi Ci's gun was as fast as lightning, and the force penetrated the gun, and the strength was too late, and the big knife flew away, and he was shocked, he wanted to support dozens of rounds, and then he returned with a bluff, but he didn't expect that he would do his best to fight only three rounds, and the bluff became a real defeat.

While riding his horse back, he shouted, "Hurry up and retreat." When the soldiers saw that the Lord was about to be defeated and fled for their lives, they called them to retreat, and they ran away one by one.

How could Tai Shi Ci give up and lead the troops to retreat and fight fiercely. Three thousand Xuzhou soldiers beat the water dogs.

Chasing and fighting all the way, to the foot of Huai Mountain, suddenly Tai Shi Ci hurriedly reined in the horse, the horse neighed, and waved the steel gun in his left hand, signaling the army to stop.

At the foot of Huai Mountain, the terrain is undulating, the forest leaves are quite lush, but the birdsong is extinct, and the quiet is abnormal. And Le's army fought and left, obviously luring the enemy to go deeper, and Yuan Shu's army was very likely to ambush here. The general on the side also seemed to see the clue from Tai Shici's eyes, and stepped forward and said: "This mountain is called Huai Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, rugged and difficult to walk, if there is an ambush army here to cut off my back road, the situation is not good." ”

Tai Shi Ci sneered, stroked his beautiful temples, stared at Huai Shan with both eyes, pondered for a few seconds, and ordered a soldier to report back to Zhang Lang, asking him to send troops to respond, and ordered three thousand soldiers to advance at full speed.

The general on the side said: "General, the south side of Huaishan is quiet and abnormal, and the forest is lush and murderous. I'm afraid of ambushes. ”

Tai Shi Ci said in a deep voice: "Since our army is the vanguard, it should be rampant. Then he led his troops to chase after him.

Le saw Tai Shici leading the troops to chase after him, and he was overjoyed when he fell into his own clever plan.

Tai Shi Ci just couldn't chase for several miles, and a cannon rang out on the south side of Huai Mountain, killing a military horse, waving the flag and shouting, and the killing sound continued. At the same time, Le led the troops back to kill. When the Yangzhou army saw that it was a fraud at the beginning, their morale was greatly boosted.

The Xuzhou army was shocked when they saw that they had been ambushed, but the Xuzhou Danyang army was well-trained, although it was panicked but not chaotic, and it was neatly formed to defend itself. A general said to Tai Shici in surprise: "The general is not good, our army is ambushed." ”

Tai Shici's face was cold and handsome, and he said in a deep voice: "Our army is practicing at night, the quality is excellent, and the lord has ordered us to be the vanguard, when we move forward bravely with all our might, why should the little ambush soldiers be afraid, this is a good moment to raise the prestige of our army." ”

At this time, Le and Yang Ping's two military horses had rushed to kill, Tai Shi Ci raised his arms and shouted and encouraged: "My Xuzhou soldiers only died in battle, and there were no surrenders and escapes. And the lord has led the army to arrive. Those who kill the enemy will be rewarded. ”

After speaking, he first rushed into the enemy formation, shouting and shooting several people.

The Xuzhou army was flustered, but when he saw Tai Shici so brave, he was greatly inspired, and when he heard that Zhang Lang led the Chinese army to arrive later, they all rushed to kill.

The sound of killing on both sides shook the sky, and the Xuzhou soldiers formed a small formation of ten people, and the ten small formations formed a large formation, plus the re-prepared steel armor and Pu Dao, giving full play to the advantages of equipment. Fight your way to the enemy. The combat strength of the Yangzhou army is also good, and it is flanked before and after, and the two sides are fighting, and finally they have more troops and have the advantage. However, the death toll on both sides is rising.

Taishi Ci is unstoppable, pointing steel guns and tigers roaring in the wind, rushing left and right to kill, such as entering a no-man's land, and those who block are clothed. The blood is covered with bloodstains, and wherever you go, either people will suppress the horses and turn over, or the blood will not rain. Started to meet Yang Ping first, the two did not fight for a round, Yang Ping felt that his strength was not good, and wanted to turn around and run away, but he was shot under the horse by Ziyi with an arrow, and then killed his subordinates. Touching again, the two guns and horses faced each other. Le was flustered and urgently ordered the surrounding soldiers to besiege him. Tai Shi Ci killed the red eyes, lit the steel gun, screamed repeatedly, and the pieces fell, and no one dared to go up. Just go with the flow.

Le was frightened, and was shouted by Tai Shici, and the steel gun pierced through the chamber, and he was killed on the spot.

Seeing that the main general was so brave, the Xuzhou soldiers were greatly boosted, their morale was high, and they fought hard to kill the enemy. It turned out to be a lot of disadvantages. On the other hand, the Yangzhou army was dead when it saw the joy, the three armies were leaderless, the soldiers and horses were gradually chaotic, and in the melee, the Tibetan tyrant led three thousand light horsemen to meet them, and the Yangzhou army was defeated.

The news reached the big tent of the Chinese army.

All the strategists and generals praised Ziyi's heroism in unison.

Tian Feng sighed and said: "Ziyi almost with the strength of one person, the retreat of 10,000 troops, the lord got this tiger general, it is really the luck of Xuzhou, the luck of the world." ”

Zhang Lang laughed. The smug color overflowed his face.

The biggest advantage of coming to Sangoku is the understanding and application of human resources.

According to the history books, Tai Shi Ci was brave and good at fighting, especially mentioning that his bow and arrow skills were equally powerful, and he was also very brave in charging into battle alone. Kong Rong was surrounded by Guan Hai when he left Tunduchang, and Tai Shici, who happened to be avoiding trouble in Liaodong, went home to visit his mother. His mother asked him to help Kong Rong in return for his kindness. As for him, "stay three times and go to Duchang in one step". After he arrived in Duchang, because "the time perimeter was not yet dense", he "waited for the gap at night and had to enter the meeting". After seeing Kong Rong, "because he begged for troops to kill the thief", but "Rong didn't listen", because Kong Rong "wanted to be rescued from outside", but "those who did not arrive, and surrounded and forced", so "Rong wanted to tell Liu Bei, the plain minister in an emergency", but suffered from "the people in the city had no reason to get it". At this time, it is "mercy and self-pleading".

Tai Shici went out of the city, in fact, the official history is more realistic than the romance, and it is more exciting. Tai Shi Ci skillfully grasped the psychology of the other party. For the enemy, who was numerically stronger than himself, he went out of the city for 3 days in a row to shoot the enemy and paralyze the enemy's sense of defense. After effectively making the enemy relax, he took the opportunity to break through on his own, and without panic, he shot and killed the pursuing enemy, completely suppressing the enemy. Maybe Luo Guanzhong changed it to him "flying out on a horse" in order to highlight his bravery...... Kill several people in a row." As everyone knows, Tai Shici's wisdom has been written in this way, and the character image has dried up a lot, which is really a pity.

However, he said that Tai Shici was defeated, and he went down to Huaishan in the north, waiting for the brigade to come up.
