Changsha County, with Changsha as the center, stretches from Dongting in the north, Wuling in the south, the west bank of Poyang Lake and the Luoxiao Mountains in the east, and the Yuanshui Basin in the west. It is an important town that controls the southern gateway of Dongting. Changsha County consists of 12 counties such as Hunan, Luo, Yiyang, Yinshan, Song, Guiyang, Ancheng, etc., the scope of control is very wide, due to the war of the Han Dynasty for many years, although Changsha County is affected by the Yellow Turban is very small, but the rogue is everywhere, the clan is strong, the famine has been going on for many years, and the people are not living. However, with Liu Biao's takeover, Changsha has gradually stabilized.

Changsha. Now it is used by Zhang Lang as a breakthrough checkpoint, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers of Han Xuan in the south, and 20,000 elite soldiers of Baqiu Wang Wei in the north.

In Ancheng, Han Xuan's henchmen loved to lead Yang Ling to lead 5,000 soldiers to strictly guard them.

Huang Xu didn't really attack hard, but he just drilled wherever he was free, and acted strictly according to the strategic deployment that Zhang Lang started. And although Yang Ling is also a little frivolous, he doesn't fall for Huang Xu's plan, he just sticks to Ancheng steadily, and generally doesn't pursue too far.

It was under such circumstances that Zhang Lang secretly went south from Jianchang with 10,000 soldiers. Among them, Zhang Ning's 3,000 skeleton soldiers and 3,000 Shanyue soldiers were also dispatched. As the main force in this battle, he knew that once Baqiu really fought together, reinforcements from Nanjun would come down in a steady stream, so on the one hand, he prepared for the worst, and on the other hand, carefully and carefully arranged the troops. and began to closely contact the troops of Huang Xu and Wei Yan, but this formed an organic combat integration.

This time, Zhang Lang also went south with Guo Jia, Ding Feng, Sun Ce, Quan Cong and a group of fierce generals.

Zhang Lang marched in a hurry for more than ten days, and the army entered Yichun County secretly. After a day's rest, 10,000 soldiers rushed to Anseong at lightning speed. And Huang Xu is still in the usual style, constantly harassing in Ancheng, and waiting for Zhang Lang's arrival.

In the past few days, Huang Zu took advantage of his own strength to repair the stronghold on the one hand, and fiercely attacked Xiakou on the other. However, under the command of Cheng Yu, coupled with the hard work of Zhou Tai and other generals, Huang Zu did not get a bargain, on the contrary, he also lost his troops and generals, and his morale fell again and again. On the other hand, the Jiangdong Army, especially after Tian Feng's 20,000 soldiers came up with timely reinforcements, was like a rainbow, and it had the taste of desperately defending Xiakou.

Of course, Zhang Lang didn't know some news, but he still knew some things very well. Huang Zu attacked Xiakou at such a bloody cost, on the one hand, there was certainly a reason for the superiority of the enemy's forces, and on the other hand, it was precisely said that in addition to a strong attack, they couldn't find any better way for a while. This buys you important time.

Zhang Lang went south to Ancheng and personally pressed the formation, ordering Mao Ying and Mao Jie's 3,000 mountain Yue soldiers to lie in ambush in the woods several miles outside the city, preparing to block the retreating Liu army. And Sun Ce took 3,000 soldiers to take advantage of the enemy's pursuit of Huang Xu, and asked Huang Xu to come forward and call for battle.

Huang Xu took less than 3,000 soldiers to Ancheng to call for battle.

Yang Ling, the general of Ancheng, learned that Huang Xu was coming to call for battle, and he led his troops to fight without thinking about it.

Huang Xu ordered the soldiers to line up, pressed the corners of the formation by himself, and deliberately showed weakness in momentum. The Art of War: Show that you are weak, and be proud of your soldiers. Huang Xu now understands this. He waved his knife and pointed at Yang Ling and shouted: "Anti-thief Yang Ling, can you dare to fight to the death today?" ”

Yang Ling looked at Huang Xu's soldiers, their clothes and armor were untidy, and the formation was scattered, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Huang Xu'er, you are not too old, you dare to be so arrogant, and you will not be left with any armor that will be killed by the uncle." You don't want to run away with your tail between your legs like you used to. ”

Huang Xu's heart was unmoved, he danced the pear blossom knife a few times, and shouted: "Yang Ling, the first few times just let you get away with the victory, this time I will definitely take your dog's head to sacrifice the flag, and let you know how powerful Uncle Ben is." ”

Huang Xuyue said this, Yang Ling didn't take it to heart, and sneered: "The kid who has not dried up will let you die here today." ”

Huang Xu sneered: "Just your three-legged cat's kung fu, and you still want to win the knife in Uncle Ben's hand, you will be in your next life." ”

Yang Ling seemed to be angered by Huang Xu's arrogance, and shouted: "What a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, today you are looking for teeth if Uncle Ben doesn't fight, and the word Yang will be written upside down from now on." After speaking, the steel fork waved and roared: "The music soldiers beat the drums to help, and the sons and daughters charge with me. In an instant, the golden drums under Ancheng rang in unison, the sound shook the sky, Yang Ling shook the horse rope, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse took the lead, and the soldiers behind him rushed up like a tide, all of them looked excited, as if Huang Xu's army was really like a soft persimmon, very easy to bully. In fact, it is no wonder that every time Huang Xu meets head-on, he almost retreats, which makes Liu Jun's soldiers high, and each soldier wants to kill two to receive the reward.

A sneer flashed on Huang Xu's face, but his expression was very solemn, he didn't seem to be outdone, he raised his big knife and rushed forward. The soldiers on his body shouted loudly and began to follow Huang Xu and rush up, but from the momentum point of view, it was obvious that he had lost half of Yang Ling. And the overall formation of the soldiers, after a charge, was even more disorganized, almost fighting separately. After charging back and forth for less than three rounds, they began to lose and retreat.

The two armies rushed back and forth. Huang Xu confronted Yang Ling in the chaotic army.

Yang Ling's steel fork is a little hot, full of strength, dancing tiger and tiger, eager to cut Huang Xu off the horse. And Huang Xu seems to be a little powerless, less than 20 rounds of fighting, the knife technique is gradually chaotic, every time in a critical situation, he has a genius stroke, it seems to be embarrassing, but he can always turn the danger into a disaster. This made Yang Ling even more convinced that Huang Xu was nothing more than a ninth-rate kung fu, and he escaped several catastrophes by luck.

Huang Xu took advantage of the wrong horse, suddenly jumped out of the battle circle, turned the horse's head, raised the whip and ran, and shouted: "This guy is really powerful, I am not this person's opponent, the brothers quickly retreat to Jiangdong, and will never attack Ancheng again." ”

Huang Xu's soldiers seemed to have a tacit understanding, and as soon as the main general's previous words were finished, the soldiers withdrew their feet and fled for their lives, and the defeat was like a mountain.

Yang Ling looked up to the sky and smiled, as if this result was expected, he sneered while urging the horse to chase after him: "Huang Xugui son, the fight is not a few pounds, and the kung fu of escaping is first-class, even if you escape back to the nest, Yang will chase you to the ends of the earth." ”

Yang Ling's pride has risen, and he regards Huang Xu as nothing. I didn't observe at all that although the Jiangdong Army was defeated, it retreated in a very orderly manner. As long as you pay a little attention, you can see the clues, but it's a pity that Yang Ling is greedy for merit, and he didn't observe the form, and walked into Huang Xu's trap step by step.

Yang Ling chased for several miles, and a forest appeared in front of him, and he seemed to notice it and asked the soldiers to stop.

Huang Xu saw that Yang Ling had stopped, and he was a little hesitant, so he couldn't help but stop the formation and rushed over from the newly organized soldiers.

Yang Ling saw that there were no ambushes on the left and right, and was provoked by Huang Xu's language several times, and urged the horse to rush up and want to fight.

When Huang Xu saw Yang Lingzhong's plan, he immediately retreated, and soon passed the forest.

Suddenly, the cannon rang out three times, and then an ambush soldier was killed from the woods.

Yang Ling was shocked and said: "It's not good, now I fell for Huang Xu's trick, and my brother retreated quickly." ”

Huang Xu had already heard the cannon shot, and when he saw Yang Ling turning his horse's head, he shouted: "Yang Ling is leaving, today is your plan for the lord of my family, and next year will be your sacrifice." ”

Yang Ling broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and shouted wildly: "Hurry back, hurry back." ”

Huang Xu laughed and said, "I want to retreat, it's too late." It's time for the brothers to get angry, and everyone has killed them. ”

With Huang Xu's slogan, the soldiers, who were a little out of breath who had been running, immediately regained their strength. The war drums were beaten louder than at the beginning, and the neat slogan of rushing and killing greatly encouraged some tired soldiers, and each soldier took out his last strength for the last battle.

The three thousand mountain soldiers led by Mao Ying and Mao Jie are fierce and abnormal, murderous and bloodthirsty, just like savages who are uncivilized, killing surnames, mouths, teeth, legs, and feet have become sharp weapons to defeat the enemy, especially the one-handed mountain axe and the left-handed rattan armor shield, combined together, almost making Liu Jun helpless. The battle from far and near was unprofitable, especially the spearmen, who could only watch their weapons being entangled in rattan armor, and then violently cut off their weapons by the mountain axe, and then cut them away with the spear body. Yang Ling and his soldiers, who were killed like this, were scattered, and they only hated the old lady for having two legs.

In the chaos of Huang Xu, the pear flower knife rose and fell, and the two soldiers who couldn't escape were cut off by the shoulder, and the blood spurted out like a spring pillar. Yang Ling happened to see this bloody scene, and he didn't care about the helmet falling off, and desperately urged the horse to flee the battlefield.

Huang Xu would not give up, and shouted while chasing: "Yang Ling, aren't you very powerful, there is a kind of stopping the horse and fighting with Uncle Ben to the death." If you win against this general, you will be spared. ”

Yang Ling was not in a hurry to run for his life at this time, where did he dare to stop. He sacrificed his life to resist by the trilogy, so that he could break out of the encirclement and rush straight in the direction of Anseong. When he ran for several miles, he turned his head to see that Huang Xu was not chasing, and he was relieved, only to find that his clothes were soaked from the inside out. And the five thousand soldiers he brought with him were able to break out of the encirclement, but there were only dozens of horsemen, and his heart was desolate.

Yang Ling ran to Ancheng in a hurry, but when he saw that the city gate was closed, he desperately tore open his throat and screamed, and even scolded, but the city gate was still closed. There is no intention of opening it at all. Yang Ling looked at the neat horses' hooves slowly sounding behind him, as well as the shouts of the soldiers, and his expression was helpless. Just when Yang Ling was desperate, the bridge of the city wall was slowly lowered, and Yang Ling grabbed the last straw, his eyes staring at the slowly cheerful city gate.

But he was desperate, because the army under the banner of "Zhang" and "Sun" that came out of it was obviously not something he knew, and he still had a little hope, hoping that this was the reinforcement sent by Han Xuan, so Yang Ling looked at Sun Ce, who had a murderous face, and quickly approached him. When Sun Ce raised the gun, he was truly desperate.

Sun Ce stabbed forward violently, and the gun stopped less than an inch away from Yang Ling's door like a horizontal line, and the body of the gun remained unmoving. Under the illumination of the sun's rays, the head of the spear shone with a dazzling light, so that Yang Ling couldn't help but close his eyes. Although nearly a year in prison has made Sun Ce's martial arts a little negligent, his natural foundation is still there. That grim expression combined with a golden armor was like an unsurpassable statue of the god of war. He pointed at Yang Ling and said coldly: "Yang Ling, if you don't descend today, it will be your death." ”

Yang Ling's face was like ashes, he also knew the goods, just looking at Sun Ce's momentum, he knew that he could not defeat, his confidence couldn't help but waver, swaying left and right between loyalty and surname. I don't know what to do for a while.

Sun Ce was a little annoyed, and with a slight thrust of the gun, he immediately pressed against Yang Ling's forehead.

Yang Ling was frightened, rolled off the horse, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Yang Ling is willing to surrender." ”

Only then did Sun Ce retract the body of the gun and said with a smile: "The practitioner is Junjie, you follow the lord, is he treating you badly." ”

Yang Ling nodded his head like a chicken eating rice.

Sun Ce let out a long laugh, withdrew his spear and said, "You guys go in first, and wait for a certain person to welcome General Huang back victorious." ”

Huang Xu returned from afar with a large number of prisoners and booty at this time. The victorious side was jubilant, but the captured side was dejected.

Sun Ce immediately reported his fist and laughed: "Congratulations to General Huang on his victory." ”

Huang Xu also immediately replied: "Thanks to the wisdom of the lord, Ancheng is also in hand." General Sun was really resolute. No wonder the lord has always admired you so much. ”

Sun Ce's face was a little gloomy, but he said happily: "There, there, General Huang laughed." ”

Huang Xu looked up and looked around, and couldn't help but be confused: "What about Yang Ling?" ”

Sun Ce deliberately slowed down the horse by half a body and let Huang Xu walk in front to show his respect, and said with a smile: "Yang Ling has returned to our army." ”

Huang Xu couldn't help frowning, and said in surprise: "How can this kind of person enter our army's camp, this person only has a bit of brute strength, and there is nothing else except a vicious mouth." ”

Sun Ce smiled mysteriously: "I have also heard a little about this matter, but this is what the lord meant." He was also afraid that he would forget to confess and let you split it in half with a knife. ”

Huang Xu was a little puzzled: "What does the lord mean? What do you mean? ”

Sun Ce winked at Huang Xu, looked around again, and said in a low voice: "This matter is a long story, it seems to have something to do with Changsha City, it is better for General Huang to ask the lord, and I don't want to talk nonsense." ”

Huang Xu is a smart person, he can understand it at all, and he seems to have some clarity in his heart, and he looked at Sun Ce, and couldn't help laughing together, tacitly acknowledging each other.
