Chapter 7: Father and Son

Zhang Lang rushed forward, and with almost no effort, the army forced into Changsha about fifty miles outside the city and set up camp.

The main village of the Chinese army.

The generals lined up, all in good spirits and radiant.

Outside the camp, the sky was still dark, and only the torches shone a dark red within a radius of several miles. The neat and orderly footsteps of the soldiers sounded from time to time in all corners. They were all dressed and ready to go.

Zhang Lang was in the handsome position, still with a lazy and lazy expression, and he didn't seem to have woken up yet. He yawned, only half closed his eyes, his gaze swept over the generals, and as soon as the urgent gaze of each general touched Zhang Lang's eyes, he unconsciously straightened his waist more straight, so as to look forward to Zhang Lang's awareness.

Zhang Lang said slowly: "Today, I will summon all the generals, I don't say that you also know what the reason is." Although there are only a few thousand defenders in Changsha City, Changsha City is high and thick, and the defensive measures are quite complete. In addition, Liu Pan has given up Youxian and led all the soldiers to support him, and now he is stationed fifty miles away from Xicheng in Changsha, forming a horn trend, if it is only this road of soldiers and horses, we have no scruples, I am afraid that we will not be able to take them in a short time, so that the troops of the tomb of Baqiu will come, and there will be a steady stream of soldiers from Nanjun, then we will only be unable to eat and go around. ”

When Zhang Lang said this, he looked at the reactions of the soldiers in the field, and continued: "For today's plan, we can only outwit Changsha, and we must take it before Wang Wei's troops come up with reinforcements, so that our army will take the initiative in the entire battle situation." ”

Although the generals were anxious to lead the troops to make meritorious contributions to kill the enemy, no one called for battle in Zhang Lang's order, and there was silence below.

Zhang Lang stood up and said with a cold face: "Early this morning, I invited all the soldiers to come, that is, to assign the attack on Changsha to you, do you have the heart to win?" ”

The generals below all shouted vigorously: "Have confidence." "The momentum is like a tiger descending the mountain, which makes people's blood soar.

Zhang Lang shouted: "Okay, where is Quan Cong? ”

Quan Cong was overjoyed, and in the jealous eyes of all the soldiers, he raised his head and shouted: "Quan Cong is here." ”

Zhang Lang then picked up a token, threw it on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "You immediately lead 3,000 soldiers to fight outside Changsha City, only win, not defeat, if the first battle will weaken the prestige of our army, I only ask you." ”

Quan Cong was suddenly ordered. He immediately picked up the token, but his footsteps stood there and did not move, his eyes full of doubt.

Zhang Lang frowned and said, "What?" ”

Quan Cong said: "Lord, if Liu Qi kills and comes to flank our army, what will it do?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded approvingly, waved his hand, and said, "If Liu Qijun comes, I won't blame you for your defeat." ”

Quan Cong held the token in front of his chest, his waist was straight, and his voice was like Hong Zhong: "I have not been ordered." Then he strode out.

Zhang Langhu swept his eyes and shouted: "Huang Xu." ”

Huang Xu immediately took a big step out, and said with blazing eyes: "Not yet." ”

Zhang Lang said: "Today, I order you to take 3,000 soldiers and ambush them on the trail west of the city. If the enemy army is strong, you must not retreat, you must fight to the death, and I have my own plan to help you retreat. ”

Huang Xu said in a deep voice: "I am not willing to fight to the death for the lord." ”

Zhang Lang nodded comfortingly, watching Huang Xu leave, his face suddenly changed, his eyes shifted to Sun Ce's face, and then he immediately felt Zhang Lang's expectant gaze, and stepped out, although slowly, but calm, rigid and soft.

Zhang Lang's tone softened a little and said: "Huang Xu is going here, I'm afraid he is not Liu Qi's opponent." Non-Bo Fu can't want to help. ”

Sun Ce said in a calm voice: "I am not willing to serve." ”

Zhang Lang patted the case and said loudly: "Okay, Bo Fu can bring a thousand soldiers and horses to stand on the mountain southwest of the city, if Huang Xu is gradually defeated, you can take a small road to attack their camp, and if you succeed, you will be burned immediately." If the enemy retreats, you don't have to panic, you can join the Huang Xu army and flank Liu Qi, and the enemy army will definitely be defeated. ”

Sun Ce said sonorously: "I don't understand." ”

"If Liu Qi retreats to Changsha City, you don't have to pursue, follow them into the city." Zhang Lang said again.

Sun Ce nodded, indicating that he understood.

After Zhang Lang finished the assignment, he turned around and said to the generals: "You watch the battle with me and wait for the order at any time." ”

The soldiers left behind did not give a response, although they were discouraged, but they were still in high spirits.

At this time, a general stepped out and asked, "My lord, there is not a matter that is unclear, please ask the lord to teach me." ”

Zhang Lang regarded it as a staff general Lu Meng. couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter with you, just say it." ”

Lu Meng said: "The main general is well deployed, and he has not been subdued, but in this way, whether Liu Qi is defeated or not, he will inevitably retreat into Changsha City, for Han Xuan, let him join the army with one more resourceful person, which will greatly increase the difficulty of our army to attack Changsha." The general was not willing to take only 500 men and horses from his headquarters to rob and kill Liu Qi in the west of the city, so that he could not enter the city. ”

Zhang Lang laughed, and in Lu Meng's puzzled gaze, he shook his head and smiled: "This time, I just deliberately let Liu Qi into Changsha so that I could exercise the overall plan." ”

Lu Meng was dumbfounded and asked, "What's the big plan?" ”

Zhang Lang's face sank, and Lu Meng immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Your subordinates should die, please deal with it." ”

Zhang Lang relieved himself and said: "This matter is very important, and I don't want to say it now." It's just that for Changsha, whether there is one more Liu Chi, or thousands of more soldiers, we want to overcome it in a short period of time, it is very difficult, very momentary, of course, we have to use extraordinary methods. You'll find out when you look back. ”

Lu Meng bowed and said: "The lord god counts, and he is not too careful." ”

Zhang Lang shook the wind and stepped out of the main village majestically. The Ministries will follow out.

Zhang Lang looked at the sky and ordered: "Beat the drum, go." ”

All the soldiers were already ready to go, and as soon as they got Zhang Lang's order, they immediately jumped their horses and set off.

Quan Cong took the lead, and he led 3,000 soldiers to Changsha City. Zhang Lang took Mao Ying and Mao Jie's 3,000 mountain and Yue soldiers, and after Quan Cong set off for half an hour, he also followed, leaving only Zhang Ning and his skeleton soldiers to stick to the camp in case something changed.

When Quan Cong led 3,000 soldiers to the outside of Changsha, it was already dawn.

A scout had already reported to Han Xuan, saying that the Jiangdong army had been killed, and now there was a battle under the city.

Han Xuan led all the generals to the city to watch the formation of Zhang's army. Seeing that Zhang Lang's troops were neat and tidy, and their morale was high, although the number of soldiers was not very large, they were obviously well-trained and had good combat effectiveness, and the leading generals, although they didn't know who they were, but looking at their fierce momentum, they were quite powerful, Han Xuan couldn't help but feel a little pimple in his heart, and he was timid before fighting, he asked the left and right generals: "Do you know who is the pioneer under the city?" ”

Someone on the side said: "This is Quan Cong, the son of Yuzhang Quan Rou." ”

Han Xuan had heard a little about Quan Rou, and couldn't help but change his face and said: "Tiger father and dog son, Quan Rou's name is Zhenyuzhang, and Quan Cong is also appreciated by Zhang Lang." It seems that the thief army is strong today, and our army cannot fight, so we only need to hold on, and we can only kill it when Liu Qi's army arrives. ”

Han Xuanbu general Qu Fu Ping said that he was conceited of force, Gu was dissatisfied in his heart, and secretly thought that the time for meritorious service had come, and he couldn't help volunteering: "My lord is too worried, I see that the enemy army is just an occasional couple, and Quan Rou is just a waste of fame, and now Qufu is willing to kill the enemy with an iron gun in his hand to share the worries of the adult." If the army is defeated, Qufu is willing to offer his head. ”

Han Xuan was overjoyed and said: "Okay, Zixu can personally order the generals, if everyone in Changsha is like you to fight to the death, you can be as stable as gold." ”

Qufu got Han Xuankua to say, he was very proud, and left proudly.

Quan Cong had been fighting under the city for a long time, and suddenly saw the city gate drawbridge lowered, and then rushed out a man and horse, at a distance of an arrow from him, pressed the corner, and the soldiers lined up, and began to shout.

The two exchanged names, Quan Cong ignored him, and with a wave of the weapon in his hand, the soldier went down the mountain like a tiger and rushed straight up.

The two sides rushed back and forth.

Not long after, in the chaotic army, Quan Cong faced Qufu.

The two fought less than ten rounds, and Quan Cong stabbed Qu Fu under his horse with a shot.

As soon as the enemy general died, Quan Cong loudly encouraged the soldiers: "Qufu is dead, brothers kill hard." ”

When Han Xuanjun saw that the main general was killed, he couldn't help but be in chaos, and quickly retreated in defeat.

Quan Cong wanted to take advantage of the victory to rush straight to Changsha City, but was shot back by Han Xuan with a random arrow.

Seeing this, Zhang Lang immediately ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops.

On the other hand, Liu Qi learned that the Jiangdong army was fighting under Changsha City, and wanted to help in the battle, but he was hit by an ambush halfway through the march, and the two sides were originally equal in strength, but Huang Xu's ambush army was prosperous, and Liu Qi was quickly suppressed in momentum. Although Liu Qi fought hard, he gradually showed that he was defeated. Soon, some soldiers ran to report to the Dazhai guards. Shouzhai is Huang Zhong, the father of Huang Xu. After Huang Zhong received the soldier's briefing, the whole person was like falling into an ice cellar, and his hands and feet were cold. After feeling Liu Qi's kindness, Huang Zhong followed him to the battlefield, born and died. He is not afraid of anything, he is afraid that one day he will fight against his own son on the battlefield, but he will make people, the more you worry about it, it will happen soon. Huang Zhong's grief started from his heart, and he couldn't help but cry, and the guards on the side were shocked and at a loss.

Huang Zhong quickly wiped his tears, held back the sadness in his heart, and came to support with 2,000 soldiers, leaving only a few soldiers to guard.

Liu Qi got Huang Zhong's help, and immediately regained his strength, and combined with the soldiers to start a counterattack.

On the other hand, the Huangxu troops flourished in one drum, then declined, and then exhausted. After the enemy reinforcements came up, it had a huge impact on the heart, if it weren't for Huang Xu's loud encouragement, taking the lead and fighting to the death, maybe the soldiers would have started to sneak away a long time ago.

The enemy's momentum is accumulating more and more, and Huang Xu's blood stains the battlefield, and he will not retreat from the battle. In Liu Jun's camp, he rushed back and forth again and again, as if entering a no-man's land. The sword picks and slashes, and the Liu Army array flag is split again and again, as if entering a no-man's land. Although Huang Zhong was in Liu Ying, he was very concerned about Huang Xu's every move. Although Huang Xu has changed a lot, the relationship between father and son, the heart is sharp, just a glance, and the intuition in his heart tells him that this is his son. When this fell into his eyes, he was happy and sad. Think about how you have been separated from your son for several years, and when you turn around, you have already played on the battlefield, so how can it not be sad?

Seeing that an enemy general was so brave, Liu Xin couldn't help but arouse his belligerent heart, shouted loudly, scattered the soldiers in front, and rushed up on his own horse. Huang Xu is no longer the sickly little hairy child with a yellow face. The whole face is angular, his eyes are as sharp as a lion, and the high bridge of his nose makes him even more arrogant, and the whole person is full of masculinity. That Sydney knife, like a messenger, must be dyed red every time it dances. All of this is very different from Huang Xu back then, even Liu Qi feels very unfamiliar, and he can't remember that the other party used to be a child who was looking for medical treatment in his arms.

Although Huang Xu has changed, Liu Qi has not changed much, if he really wants to say anything, it is that he has more wrinkles and the corners of his eyes are sunken.

Huang Xu was very excited, although he hadn't seen Liu Qi for many years, it didn't mean that he had forgotten everything before, on the contrary, he was even more full of love for Liu Qi, but he firmly pressed this feeling in the deepest part of his heart. I can't help but say that Zhang Lang was cruel, knowing that this was Huang Zhong and Liu Qi's army, he still sent Huang Xu to fight.

Huang Xu controlled his emotions, rode his horse to meet him, and shouted: "It's Liu Qi who is coming? ”

Liu Qi held a gun in one hand and a horse in the other, and responded: "Exactly." Who are you? Register your name. ”

Huang Xu bit his lower lip gently, only to feel that his vision was gradually a little confused, he resisted the urge to say his real name, the pear flower knife fell to the ground, rushed up and said: "Don't talk nonsense, look at the knife." Huang Xu still has some reservations, although he knows that Liu Qi's martial arts are not weak, but he is confident that Liu Qi is not his opponent.

Liu Qi was secretly stunned in his heart, although Huang Xu had some reservations, but the pear flower knife with the momentum of a healthy horse still made people feel like a thunderbolt, opening up mountains and breaking stones. Liu Qi was unable to go against his head for a while, so he could only choose to avoid the real and the virtual.

Huang Xu said silently in his heart: Uncle Liu, I'm sorry, if there is a chance, Huang Xu will definitely come to the door to ask for guilt.

Huang Zhong in the distance had mixed feelings at this time, although he had heard in Changsha how Huang Xu was reused in Zhang Lang's camp, but he didn't expect that Huang Xu would be brave enough to come here, with some remnants of the defeated army, almost with the strength of one person, to protect the army that was about to be lost. And the Jiangdong Army, under his encouragement, fought to the death and did not retreat, so that Liu Jun, who had the advantage of troops, could not come up with any way for a while. What kind of soldiers there are, what kind of generals there are. At this time, when he saw Huang Xu and Liu Qi handing over, his heart rose to his throat, and he was afraid that if he was not careful, one of the two parties would be injured and damaged, and he would not be able to bear it.

Huang Xu's horizontal sword was immediately, and a battle aura spread all over his body, and even Liu Qi, who had experienced a hundred battles, was a little surprised.

Huang Xu urged him to step forward, but Liu Qi didn't dare to show weakness, so the two changed their tactics and began to fight.
