Volume 6 Separate Calculations] Chapter 323 Zang Xuangao vs. Ji Ling——

In the early morning of the second day, Yuan Shu entered the Jiguan Pass with 20,000 Danyang jīng soldiers in accordance with the pre-agreed arrangements, and stopped two miles before the Jiguan. The commanders of the other people and horses also came to Yuan Shu's Chinese army with their own guards, and everyone wanted to witness the combat strength of the Crouching Tiger Army guarding Keiguan, so as to provide a reference for the next big battle.

"General Ji, this battle is only to test the details of the guards, remember not to fight to the death, once you can't do anything, you must retreat quickly!" Yuan Shu finally said to the beloved general Ji Ling.

"Don't worry, the lord is going to pass down and call for battle!" Ji Ling, who was carrying a three-pointed and two-edged knife, led 10,000 siege soldiers with a murderous spirit, and approached Keiguan for nearly a mile.

According to the custom, before the army attacks the city, it is first necessary to shout, and then the jī will fight alone, and after consuming a certain amount of morale of the opponent, it is the soldiers of the Mizazadi who will come forward to attack the city. The purpose of shouting is to publicize one's own prestige, affirm one's own division's reputation, frighten the opposing soldiers, and disturb the morale of the opponent's army;

After Ji Ling patted his horse and walked forward for a short while, he shouted to the defenders above the Ji Pass: "Zhao Xing of the Annexation Prefecture, he does not respect the law, he acts perversely, the Son of Heaven is furious, the imperial court has issued an edict, and everyone will be punished! Now that Taiwei Lu is leading an army of 200,000 troops in front of the Chen Pass, the destruction of the Ji Pass is only in an instant, so why should you do something for the tiger and give your life in vain?"

Xu Huang saw that a general shouted at the pass, so he naturally would not sit idly by, so he picked up the oversized megaphone and shouted at the Yuan sergeant under the pass: "General Zhenbei is loyal to the monarch and the country, loves the soldiers and the people, and has been guarding the north for more than ten years for the Han Dynasty. Wouldn't it be shameful to wait for you to stay away from your homeland in the south of the Yangtze River and only go north to kill each other! Keiguan is an iron pass in the world, so how can you wait for your bloody body to be broken? It is better to return to your homeland as soon as possible, so as not to leave your corpse in a foreign land and leave your parents, wife, and children alone at home!

From a verbal point of view, Xu Huang's shouting was no lower than Ji Ling's. In fact, Xu Huang repeatedly emphasized that the Danyang soldiers crossed the Yangtze River and the Yellow River north to fight in the state, purely to serve as guns, and they could not return to their hometown even if they died.

Ji Ling saw that Xu Huang was shouting, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop Xu Huang from continuing. "Listen to the defenders in the city, I am the general under the Yang Muyuan Highway account, I have heard that there are many warriors in the state, who dares to go out of the city to fight with me!"

Hearing Ji Ling shouting at the pass, Zang Ba stepped forward and said loudly: "Commander Xu, Zang is not talented, I am willing to fight with Ji Ling in the pass!"

"General Zang be careful, Ji Ling is skilled in swordsmanship, he has fought with Guan Jun Chang for dozens of rounds without being defeated, and his strength is superior, so he should not be taken lightly!" Xu Huang agreed to Zang Ba's invitation to fight, and made a special advice.

Under the gaze of thousands of crossbowmen, Zang Ba rode a jujube red horse, wearing a tiger helmet, wearing chain mail, and carrying an oolong gun, and slowly walked out of the Jiguan Iron M-N.

"Taishan Zang Ba is here, General Ji might as well let the horse come over and come to learn something!" Zang Ba bowed to Ji Ling and slowly raised the oolong gun in his hand.

Ji Ling saw a general with a calm face and a black gun coming out of Jiguan, who was very imposing, so he didn't dare to be careless, and he also gave his fist and saluted back: "Qingzhou Ji Ling has come to ask for advice!" Ji Ling said, lifted the three-pointed two-edged knife and rushed to Zang Ba.

Before the two take over, let's review their background information, which can be regarded as a lively fight, let's see clearly.

Ji Ling, a native of Qingzhou, the word Fuyi, a general under Yuan Shu. made a three-pointed knife, weighing fifty catties, and fought with Guan Yu in Pingxiang for more than 20 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Later, he almost fell for Guan Yu's knife trick and was cut off by Guan Yu's horse's head.

Zang Ba, Taishan Huaxian (now a native of Fangcheng Town, Fei County, Shandong, also known as Nukou, the word Xuangao. After Shi Zai Zang Ba followed Cao C-O, he had many military exploits, and crusaded against Sun Quan several times, and Han Dang, a famous general of Wu State, was also a defeated general under him. When Cao Pi was on the throne, he moved Zang Ba to the general of Zhendong, entered the Marquis of Wu'an, and supervised the military of Qingzhou.

In the commentary, it was said that Zang Ba was a "lazy general", he originally had a good ability and outstanding marksmanship, but after switching from Lu Bu's subordinates to Cao C-O, he was only willing to take Yulu and never did anything, Zhang Liao wanted to promote and reuse him, but he refused. Cao C-o is the most unpleasant one article and one martial arts, the text is the "foreign loyal minister" Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, and the martial is the "lazy general" Zang Ba Zang Xuangao. During the Battle of Chibi, Zang Ba and Xu Shu went to Xiliang to guard against Ma Teng Han Sui, and they have not been seen since.

From this point of view, the contest between Zang Ba and Ji Ling should be half a catty. The two who fought together on the field confirmed the result soon after.

Ji Ling's knife skills are really proficient and fierce, and his moves are all from Zang Ba's vital points, and Zang Ba's marksmanship is not bad, and he can always defuse Ji Ling's ferocious attacks in four or two. After the two of them got started, they fought back and forth for more than 30 rounds, and they still didn't win or lose.

Yuan Shu saw that Zang Ba's force was not inferior to Ji Ling, and it was difficult to distinguish the result if he continued to fight like this, so Ming Jin recalled Ji Ling, and the first round of fighting between the two sides was a draw.

Lu Zhi, Cao C-O, Sun Jian and others who watched the battle later compared Zang Ba's strength with their own generals, and they all happily felt that although Zang Ba's martial arts were good, they still had to lose slightly compared with their own Zhang Fei, Gao Lan, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Sun Ce, and Huang Zhong.

Yuan Shu, who was about to end the fight, ordered his subordinates to launch a battle in the city, and nearly Wan Danyang soldiers shouted and charged towards Jiguan. After Xu Huang in the city saw Zang Ba return to the pass, he immediately ordered the longbowmen to prepare for battle. The two longbow regiments guarding the left and right of the city began to calibrate the direction and angle of the sh-shot.

Seeing that the Danyang soldiers carrying the ladder were about to enter the SH-Cheng of the longbow soldiers, Xu Huang immediately ordered the soldiers to collect sh indiscriminately. The soldiers of the Yuan army charged forward, closed the arrows and flew downward, just a time difference, and if they were well controlled, they could just let the bow and arrows face the siege soldiers before the penetration power decreased.

After years of training, the Crouching Tiger archers naturally mastered the advance of the first round of sh-strikes, and in just one or two breaths, a thousand longbowmen poured the first round of arrow rain on the Yuan soldiers under the pass.

Because Xu Huang's order was to save sh-, so before a round of arrow rain fell, the sh-skilled Crouching Tiger archers started the second round of sh-strikes with arrows, and the target was naturally the Yuan army foot soldiers who rushed to the front.

The soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground one after another, and the closer they got to the Kei Pass, the more they died, and when the thousands of Danyang soldiers who braved the rain of arrows to attack the first group came to the Kei Pass, the casualties had reached seventy percent. The Danyang soldiers who survived the rain of arrows began to climb to Kei Pass with the help of a cloud ladder, and at this time the short crossbowmen on the pass began to exert their might, and the crossbow arrows that were as fast as rain went straight down from the head of the city, not only accurate x-ng high, but also lethal, and directly sh- all the soldiers of the Yuan army who climbed into the air sh- down.

Yuan Shu saw that the Crouching Tiger army guarding the pass had sharp arrows, and it was beyond the ability of his own soldiers to dodge and resist, so he hurriedly issued an order to stop the attack, and withdrew the second and third groups of siege soldiers who had not yet set off to their own formation.
