Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 454 - Jiangxia War
"General, they won't let us into the city, and now the brothers are ready.
Do you want the brothers to take advantage of the fact that the new guard has not yet reacted to shoot directly..."
"What's the hurry, where is this?" Zhao Yun directly glanced at Huo Nu, who also ran over, at this time, and then couldn't help but interrupt his words with a chuckle.
"The guard stationed in Xinxi is Lu Chang, although Ben Jiang has always felt that he has no ability, but he has to admit that this guy is not a fool!
He stationed in Xinxi to stay in the rear for Cao Hong and others to ensure the stability of the back road.
And this guy is still quite a trusted person under Cao Ren, so this guy's ability is still okay.
At least in the face of this situation, he is still steady, and it will not be so easy for me to enter the city!
It's normal that you can't get in, and if you get in so easily, that's what worries Ben! ”
Zhao Yun's words made Huo Nu, who had just come over and wanted to complain a few words and then ask for orders to attack directly, shut his mouth.
However, looking at Na Huonu's face, he was still a little unwilling to give up, and this Zhao Yun couldn't help but shake his head in the end.
"Don't worry." At this time, Zhao Yun still raised his head slightly, glanced at the city wall, and then lowered his head again, and whispered to Huo Nu and the guards around him.
"Now the situation here is beyond Lu Chang's control!
Although this Lu Chang is not an incompetent waste, this time Mr. Zhuge directly calculated to death.
This Runan County and Yingchuan County are too far apart, if Xun Yu is here, there may be some ways.
But this is Runan, there is only one Lu Chang, and he can't control the current situation at all!
If he didn't want to provoke a mutiny here, he would definitely come up with enough food and straw to come out again, and the things they had just sent out were not enough.
And he did it wrong just now, either not doing it, or doing his best.
This sent out a little grain, which gave everyone the illusion that he was also showing weakness at this time.
And this will make those people who are already scared have a little bit of heart again, and want more!
I even want to continue to persecute one or two!
And he didn't let me wait to enter the city, he always couldn't let me wait to sleep in the wilderness, and the military tent and other supplies also needed to be taken out.
The most important thing is that these people need to find a safe place to camp, and these things need to be taught by the city soldiers, and the cooperation of people from the outside.
Otherwise, what the consequences of the mess will be, he Lu Chang himself is not clear!
Therefore, he will definitely look for people from the outside, that Pei Zhen... Well, it is the Langling County Cheng who looks very smart that he must be one of them, but he alone is not enough!
These 100,000 or 200,000 young people, if there are not thousands of people to cooperate, I am afraid that there will be a big problem in the end.
So you don't need to worry at all, this time things have just begun, and the opportunity I have been waiting for has not yet come...
Huo Nu, you go and tell Zhao Li and Na Sun Li now, let them find an opportunity to enter together, and when the time is right, they will kill the guard Lu Chang..."
Zhao Yun suddenly thought of something after he finished speaking, and finally changed his words.
"That's it, give the order, let all the soldiers and horses slowly come forward.
Although that Lu Chang.... However, they are still very young, even with the ability of the two of them to join forces, I am afraid that they will not be able to do that Lu Chang!
When the time comes, if you really get yourself into it, that's the real trouble.
Look for an opportunity to take control of the gate when it opens again, and Ben will find an opportunity to kill it himself! ”
“...... Promise! Na Huo Nu was also shocked after hearing Zhao Yun's words.
But he immediately took the order, and then bowed and left, looking for the other teams hidden among the countless people...
Soon, hundreds of people slowly came to the forefront of the team, and Zhao Li, Na Sun Li and others, who were also embarrassed and had done a good job of hiding, also became a model of "homeless young and strong".
Sure enough, after these grains were sent out, they did not be able to calm down the noise outside, but made the noise more serious.
And this kind of movement will naturally alarm Lu Chang in the city, and after a short silence, the new city gate will soon open again, and the lieutenant of the city will ask some people among the people to come forward to discuss matters in the city.
Everything was exactly as Zhao Yun had expected!
And Zhao Li, Na Sun Li and others, who had already been prepared, also immediately rose up with this change and became one of the representatives!
It doesn't just mean that many young people have entered the New City.
More than ten daredevils were selected from them, and they stood up together!
Of course, they are not the most important, what really matters is the officials in charge of these young men and the various counties that bring these young men over.
Like what.... That Langling County Cheng Pei Zhen, who was called by Zhao Yun to look very smart!
These officials also stood up on behalf of the young men under their command, and the group slowly walked towards the city gate.
Looking at that appearance, as if he had won some big battle, people couldn't help but sigh.
On the newly rested city wall, the guard Lu Chang looked at the countless people below, and the cold sweat on his body didn't seem to stop.
Even though the other party has barely calmed down now, he still can't help but swallow his saliva again and again, as if he is afraid that there will be a riot in the next moment.
It wasn't until the city gate was closed again and these young and strong "representatives" walked into the city that Lu Chang's face could be regarded as slightly returning to normal.
"Let's go, let's see..."
With a sigh, Lu Chang walked directly to the city gate with a few personal guards, looking at the example of the people who rushed in, especially when he saw Pei Zhen who was the leader, Lu Chang's face was definitely blue.
"Since you're here..."Lu Chang looked at everyone and just said a beginning, his eyes were locked, and a certain figure in the crowd made his eyes freeze directly.
Lu Chang really didn't know the generals under Zhao Yun's command, especially Sun Li, Zhao Li, and Huo Nu who was waiting for an opportunity outside.
They all followed Zhao Yun to start fighting around in Youzhou.
These people have almost no reputation now, and this Lu Chang was born in Jingzhou, and he is a general under Cao Ren, so it is impossible to know any people from Youzhou.
But Lu Chang is also quite capable, and these eyes are still very useful.
Although he hadn't seen these people, although Zhao Qian and Sun Li were dressed up very embarrassed.
But he could still see at a glance that Sun Li was different.
After all, Sun Li was born in a wealthy family, and although he looks embarrassed on the outside, he has that temperament that not everyone has.
Ordinary people can't see it, but this Lu Chang obviously feels that Sun Li is different!
"How can this guy be incompatible with the people around him....." This thought appeared directly in Lu Chang's mind, and then he saw that the warrior raised his head directly, and even smiled at himself.
He actually laughed.... No, this smile.... It's cold! ”
Surprise directly appeared on Lu Chang's face, and after an exclamation, Lu Chang directly touched the saber on his waist, but before he could touch the hilt of the knife, Sun Li on the opposite side had already pounced.
Sun Li didn't know that he had been seen through, but he knew very well that if he wanted to continue to break through something, then he couldn't rely on Zhao Yun for everything.
He Sun Li also wants to be a hero in this world!
With his good brother Matai's share.... Become a true hero in this world!
However, although Sun Li, who was in his twenties, was not known for his bravery, he was also at the peak of his physical strength and energy at this time, and he rushed directly in front of Lu Chang, who was full of surprise, in three or five steps.
Then the short knife hidden in his hand pierced his heart with a "poof" sound.
"You..."
"A certain Zhuojun Sun Li, take your dog's life today!"
Sun Li's fierce and cold words made Lu Chang tremble, but he was not powerless at this time.
That Sun Li was not able to kill this guy in one fell swoop, but heard Lu Chang's roar.
"Fuck off! What the hell are you doing! Why don't you come and save me? ”
Lu Chang, who was screaming, strained his arms, as if he wanted to knock Sun Li in front of him directly, but the sharp pain in his chest made him almost unable to breathe.
If it weren't for the fact that he was naturally cautious, not only wearing armor on his body, but even directly asking Qin Wei under his command to add two linings to him on the grounds that it was freezing today, this knife would probably have killed him!
But even so, the knife just now was enough to make his chest ache, and he clearly felt that his chest had been pierced by the other party!
But fortunately, there are no lives yet... At least not in danger of his life now!
In the midst of Lu Chang's angry roar, those soldiers who had already looked stupid finally came back to their senses and killed Sun Li and Zhao Li and others who had suddenly burst out one by one.
Just a moment ago, the group of kung fu guys had opened the city gate again, and Sun Li's sudden attack also made the city gate fall into a coma.
Those Pei Zhen and the others, who were still thinking about how to negotiate with Lu Chang Haosheng just now, even became enemies at this moment.
In a panic, they were all killed a lot....
However, their existence also bought Sun Li and Zhao Yun outside the city a lot of time.
This led to the elite soldiers and horses under the command of Lu Chang, but it was too late to do it at this time!
Outside the city gate, as soon as Zhao Qian grabbed the city gate, he immediately let people completely open the city gate, and Zhao Yun, who had been preparing outside for a long time, also led people to rush over.
When Zhao Yun rushed in, he immediately saw that scene.
That Sun Li was already scuffling with that guy Lu Chang at this time, and there were Lu Chang's personal guards around him who wanted to make a move on Sun Li, and his body, which was already quite embarrassed, was now quite desolate and miserable.
After seeing this scene, Zhao Yun, who was soft-tempered, couldn't help but burst into cheers.
"Brute!"
With this roar, Zhao Yun snatched a spear and rushed directly to kill it, although he didn't have a BMW under his crotch, his movements would also be very brave and fast!
No one could stop him in his tracks, and no one was his enemy.
The fierce momentum made this group of frightened Cao Jun even more at a loss, as for the guard Lu Chang who suddenly looked up and saw Zhao Yun rushing over... This time, I was even more frightened and trembled.
"Who are you... Who the hell are you!
Loosen up, you damn thing! ”
Lu Chang didn't recognize Zhao Yun, but he was also taken aback when he saw Zhao Yun rushing to kill, and no one could stop him for a moment.
And this guy in front of him is like a madman, jamming his armor with a short knife, and he won't let go.
I'd rather be knifed than let go, so it's too late for me to run even if I want to.
And in the midst of Lu Chang's roar, this Zhao Yun's spear... The spear emptied an area again, and then rushed directly in front of this Lu Chang.
"Die!" The spear appeared directly in front of Na Lu Chang, but in the next moment, the spear turned leisurely and protected Sun Li, who was struggling to hold on to the side.
After a swing, just one swing caused several Cao soldiers who rushed over to break their tendons and fractures, and fell to the ground screaming.
Then, in the midst of Lu Chang's frightened eyes, a spear pierced his neck...
Warm blood gushed out, directly spraying Sun Li's head and face, and the dead Lu Chang made Sun Li stunned for a moment.
Immediately after, I heard Zhao Yun's reprimand!
"Look, the next time you kill someone with this short knife, you will cut his neck with one knife!"
At the same time of reprimanding, he also dragged Sun Li, who was also drenched in blood, up, and he really looked like a father and brother.
“..... The last general remembers, thank you General Zilong for your teaching..."
That Sun Li was still a little sluggish at this time, but looking at Zhao Yun's calm eyes, he finally looked at Lu Chang, who still couldn't die in his hands.
There were inevitably some different emotions in his heart, but at this time, he still chose to bow to Zhao Yun and express his gratitude!
Then after saying this, this Sun Li also rejected Zhao Yun's kindness to let him rest, picked up a spear from the ground again, and rushed directly into the city.
Fight the enemy! Here's what he's going to do next!
"Bang~" There was another muffled sound, and Zhao Yun stabbed a rushing soldier to death on the spot again without looking back, and then looked at the back of the brave rush and couldn't help but sneer.
"This little guy, when he was about to be as old as you, was still fighting with those Black Mountain thieves and the remnants of the Yellow Turban.
Ultimately..... Ben also didn't save his family!
The way you're going... It's still far away! ”
I don't know when it started, but Zhao Yun was also very satisfied when he looked at the lieutenants around him.
Especially for the young Sun Li, he was very satisfied, and even regarded him as his own junior or even a disciple.
It's just that his words are destined not to be told to the other party.
Looking at this chaotic and noisy battlefield, Zhao Yun also directly let out an angry roar.
"The enemy general Lu Chang is dead, and you still haven't surrendered!"
"Surrender quickly, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Runan has been taken by us, and you will wait for when you will not surrender at this time..."
Compared with Zhao Yun and Huo Nu Zhao Calf and others who were fighting and charging, Sun Li, who rushed to kill again, once again found what he should do.
told everyone very perfectly, at this time, how can he do a good job in the role of a deputy general, and he has even begun to talk nonsense in the shouting again and again.
It's just a surprise attack, and in his mouth it can already become Runan's complete fall.
That's it, tsk.... It's only now that I can barely bluff some people.
After all, the Cao army defending the city at this time was shocked by the surprise attack and Lu Chang's death, but it really gave him a chance.
Seeing that the Cao army in the city began to put down his blades, Zhao Yun, who felt that victory was in sight, also retreated at the same time, returned to the outside of the city and said to the people who were also in turmoil.
"I am a general under His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong of Duliao.
Today, the Cao thief invaded Jingzhou for no reason, which is against the mandate of heaven!
His Majesty couldn't bear to let the people of Jingzhou be slaughtered by that Cao thief, so he united with Liu Qi, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Liu Xuande, the uncle of the Han Emperor, decided to rejuvenate the Han family!
The reason why we have taken the new breath today is entirely to save you and other people, so you must not be presumptuous!
Otherwise, under the peak of soldiers, be careful that the swords and guns have no eyes! ”
This Zhao Yun is also worthy of being the blade of both civil and military affairs personally named by Liu Xie.
In the face of such a chaotic situation, he first explained the current situation in a few words, and then revealed his identity to make a guarantee to these people.
He followed him and did not let these people go with the flow, fearing that these people would run away because they were afraid.
As a result, many officials who were in a panic but had not yet been killed by Cao Jun were called out from this city.
Then immediately let this group of officials with a little panic on their faces continue to stabilize the mood of the people.
At the same time, it also gives them protection!
"Later, when the general calmed down the chaos in the city, he would immediately have people prepare grain and grass baggage, of course, the grain and grass in this city may not be enough.
But you don't need to worry, I could have assured you that when necessary, I would have asked people to transfer grain, grass, fur and other things from Jiangxia.
Now you wait and stabilize these people, and when we wait for a great victory, we will let them go into the city for refuge!
Of course, if any accident happens to these people here.... That will also immediately take you is asking! ”
Zhao Yun would not be polite to them at this time, and of course he did not have the time to be polite to this group of people.
After he finished speaking, the remnants of the officials led by Cheng Peizhen of Langling County, who was immortal, could only nod their heads constantly.
Their minds are getting more and more confused now, and they don't even know how this is happening.
But it doesn't matter, although they don't know how the current situation came about, but they know that they will definitely not live in peace this time, and they can't die!
This group of "talents" has put all their brains on how to protect themselves.
Although this heart... It's still a bit inappropriate.
But I can only sigh silently in my heart.
"In this way, this... Ay! ”
Pei Zhen and others, who have already given things to "absolutely do", guide themselves and have no way out.
In this case, even if they are unwilling, they can only take one step at a time, and as for the future... Do the math again!
And this group of guys also knows very well that this bit of their ingenuity is really useless when facing this situation!
Zhao Yun will not give him this opportunity to continue to jump sideways repeatedly.
After that, things are much simpler.
Under Zhao Yun's strong suppression, Xinxi did have a lot of soldiers and horses who still wanted to resist, but the main general Lu Chang was killed by Zhao Yun, and several other generals were also killed on the spot by Sun Li and others.
In the end, this group of people in the city wanted to abandon the city and flee without a leader!
But at this time, they suddenly discovered the most fatal thing, that is, more than 100,000 or 200,000 young people outside the city were still outside!
This group of guys used to just put pressure on them, but now when they want to escape, they suddenly find out.
These guys have "surrounded" this city!
Naturally, the more than 100,000 or 200,000 people could not be piled up in one direction, and the outside of the city on all sides were full of young and strong people.
A group of ignorant people, even if they want to escape, they can't quickly break out.
And behind them there are the fierce and abnormal enemy troops....
This desperate situation forced the Cao army in the city to flee for a while.
In the end, after finding that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, the remaining people began to choose to surrender...
After all, Zhao Yun also said that they represent the Han Dynasty!
Surrender to the Imperial Court... Well, there's no shame in saying it!
After quickly stabilizing the new breath, Zhao Yun did not have time to rest, but immediately arranged for the deputy general Sun Li to inspect the city and govern the place to avoid chaos in people.
At the same time, Ling found Han Guan, who was hiding far away, and asked him to personally arrange for the people to slowly enter the city, as well as dispatch grain, grass and cold materials to be sent to the people outside the city.
Han Guan is familiar with this kind of thing, after all, although he is a famous person in Youzhou, he is also a magistrate.
This Han Guan, who once wanted to become bigger and stronger in Youzhou, has completely changed his future trajectory since he met Zhao Yun.
But fortunately, although the trajectory is different, in the eyes of Han Guan, his future is still very good.
As long as he sticks to it ....
To be honest, as far as Han Guan thinks now, even Liu Xie doesn't know how Zhao Yun did it make him think like this.
However, although this Han Guan's idea was very good, Zhao Yun still didn't let him go.
Even in the end, Zhao Yun, along with the book of Anmin, and many other things such as posting the book of peace and settling the people with the sergeants and soldiers, were handed over to Han Guan, the only one under his command who had experience in governing the local area.
I really don't use him as a person!
He even asked Na Han Guan to temporarily and properly resettle them within three days....
After doing all this, Zhao Yun also brought his deputy general Zhao Qian to the top of the city, looking at the people who slowly penetrated into the city, he also felt some emotion in his heart.
"Alas.... I really didn't expect that it would be extremely difficult for us to wait on the battlefield.
Now it's here... I really don't know what to say.
It's a trick to make people... Or is that Mr. Zhuge really a celestial? ”
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhao Li on the side couldn't help but show a smile, and then replied softly to Zhao Yun.
"This is the help of the general Ji people, but I don't know whether to go to Jiaozhou or continue to fight in Nanyang.
While suffering from the lack of supplies and soldiers and horses in his hands, he met Zhuge Kongming and got the news!
I have to say that this is God bless my big man, God bless General! ”
“.... God bless the man? Since God bless my great man, why do you want to let this world have such tribulations.
Why should the people be bullied like this! ”
Zhao Yun, who has always been delicate-minded, also sighed at this time, although he won this battle.
But when he saw this scene now, the bleak scene also hit his heart a big blow again.
This big victory did not allow the people to live a good life from now on, and it can even be said that because of their own big victory, the displacement of these people has just begun.
And he didn't have anything to do.
Not only was there no way, Zhao Yun had to continue, because he believed even more that there was only that His Majesty in the world today... And that Xuande Gong can make the people's lives better!
As for the so-called "If you really love these people, why don't you hand over the world directly to Cao Mengde, the first prince of the world?" ”
In this regard, Zhao Yun just wanted to slap their ancestors away!
Then when Yuan Benchu dominated Hebei, he was still prospering!
Why didn't this group of people find Cao Mengde at the beginning and tell him that for the sake of the world, why didn't they send themselves to Yuan Benchu's side?
What's the matter, he was afraid of death at the beginning, but now he is not afraid?
Hum!
Zhao Yun's coldness made Zhao Yun on the side think that Zhao Yun thought of the desolation of the people in the world, and he couldn't help but directly open his mouth to comfort him.
"The general doesn't have to be like this, this world is so chaotic and has nothing to do with us, on the contrary, we are trying to do something for the world!
Now I heard that the people under His Majesty's rule have been stable for a long time.
There have been many natural disasters in Guanzhong over the years, but the number of people dying of starvation has decreased too much..."
"Your Majesty is benevolent, Yun naturally knows!"
Zhao Yun directly interrupted the other party's words, he knew what Zhao Qian meant, and he also understood Zhao Qian's hints.
Although it is said that this Zhao Qian is the deputy general under his command, Zhao Li himself is also the general of His Majesty the Emperor.
Unlike Liu Bei, who is still worried about Liu Bei in his heart, this Zhao Qian doesn't know any Xuande Gong, and he doesn't think that this Xuande Gong can do anything with the world.
I have never hidden my thoughts, so although Zhao Li and the others acted according to their orders, they also had their own thoughts in their hearts....
Zhao Yun knew this in his heart, but he had no way to say anything.
Of course, there is no need for him to say more!
The war that follows... And many more!
Now that Runan County is in chaos, a large number of young people have been gathered, and county orders and even county officials from all over the country have begun to mobilize each other.
And Zhao Yun also found the only opportunity at this time.
led the army to blend in with those young and strong, directly hid his remaining soldiers and horses, and finally captured the land of the new city in one fell swoop.
But his actions also alarmed Xun Yu, who was stationed in the rear for Cao Mengde.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xun Yu directly ordered in Yuzhou to abandon the order of the overlord, and all acted mainly on Cao Gong and his legal warrant in Xuchang!
It seems that this war has once again entered a new calculation because of this war....
That is, on the other side, the battle in Jiangxia County has been carried out to the end.
Cao Hong's soldiers and horses have been completely lost, and the biggest advantage has become his disadvantage, and the price of having more soldiers is a huge loss of grain and grass.
If it was before they were ambushed, it would have been enough, but now an ambush here has caused them to lose all their grain and grass, and they don't know who directly intercepted the subsequent grain and grass.
And what made Cao Hong feel the danger the most was that the grain and grass behind him had been delayed, and Zhang Liao, who had pinned all his hopes, also did not make any movement.
Everything in the rear seemed to have disappeared, and this discovery made people shudder a little.....
And these have nothing to do with Cao Jun who just wants to live!
Right.... Now these Cao soldiers under Cao Hong's command can only do their best to survive!
Staying alive seems to be a luxury for them.
From the very beginning, Cao Hong killed almost all the war horses, and even the war horses of Li Tong and Le Jin almost didn't stay.
But this act of killing the war horse is still far from enough.
Because they don't have many horses!
After all, this time they were not the first to ride the army, and there were not many war horses under their command, after the war horses and the dry food they carried were eaten... They could only look at the robes...
No, it should be said that it was once a robe!
For just two days, they endured torture, not only physically, but also mentally.
Not just because of their food, but also because of the future that never knew there would be.
"I'm waiting for this, you said that General Zhang Liao... General Zhang Liao, isn't it..."
"Shut up, General Zhang Liao is a general that Cao Gong trusts very much, and he will definitely be fine!"
"But he didn't come..."
"Then our food and grass haven't come yet, someone must have done something behind us..."
"Do you really think so?"
"I advise you... It's best to think so, too! ”
These simple conversations alone have been privately spoken by many people in these short two days, or even more than once.
Even if Cao Hong repeatedly forbade it, it still couldn't stop the soldiers from discussing it in private.
In the end, under Li Tong's helpless suggestion, he simply gave up the idea of forbidding discussion, and let them discuss it, but came up with greater benefits.
Like what... Five dollars per person... Of course, there are also things like promotion, land appreciation, etc...
Under the pressure of the three generals, this battle has finally persisted until now, but it is also to the extreme.
Maybe it's really heaven can't see it.
Just when Cao Hong himself was about to give up, good luck finally came, and the rushing river slowly receded, although the ground under the hills was muddy, making it completely impossible for them to break through quickly.
But it also made the soldiers of the Jiangxia defenders face the problem of difficulty in attacking, which made Cao Hong rarely breathe.
Immediately after that, the second piece of good news came to pass.
"General, General Zhang Liao is finally here!"
Cao Hong looked at the scout who rushed in, his face was full of surprise in disbelief, and the two people on the side, Le Jin and Li Tong, who were struggling to persevere, were also full of surprise.
At this moment when the news came, the morale of the soldiers under Cao Hong's command was suddenly shocked!
And the sudden appearance of the old opponent Zhang Liao also greatly affected the generals and the soldiers under their command on the opposite side, especially their morale.
No one expected that many obstacles had been set up, and countless obstacles and confusions had been set.
That Zhang Liao was able to rush out and appear in front of them!
This ability really surprised them a little.
And surprise can't change anything, Zhang Liao's sudden appearance directly affects all the plans of Jiang Xiajun.
In the short-term surprise and panic of the Jiangxia army, Zhang Liao, who had finally led hundreds of soldiers to kill, also directly launched a charge again!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Liao immediately rushed in with his troops, and Cao Hong also seized the opportunity to break through directly, and really broke through under the joint efforts of the two parties.
General Lejin understands that this opportunity is a real opportunity and cannot be lost.
Therefore, he took the lead, regardless of the many contradictions between himself and Zhang Liao, and took the lead in rushing to join that Zhang Liao, and ensured the smooth passage of the breakthrough road!
After seeing this scene, this Jiang Xia Jun finally reacted.
A roar erupted.
"Hunt down... Hunt for it now! ”
"If Cao Hong escapes, how can I explain to the military advisor, hurry, rush forward!"
Fu Kuang, Liu Min and others also immediately followed the pursuit, but on this muddy road, the two sides fought not only embarrassed but also very inefficient.
After fighting for half a day, Fu Kuang and the others finally chased down Cao Hong and the others...
Cao Jun, who finally waited for the vitality of life, broke out this time with the ability to escape that surprised everyone.
However, these fleeing guys probably didn't expect that although they seemed to have escaped from the ascension to heaven now.
But the real danger has just begun!
"Sure enough, as the general expected, Cao Hong has already escaped."
Not far in front of the direction in which Cao Hong and the others fled, Wei Yan, the Jiangxia guard who had not shown up, had been waiting for a long time!
And in front of him, it was the deputy general Xiahou Bo who came to report...
From the tone of Xiahou Bo's report just now, he may be able to hear a little difference.
They seem to have a very good understanding of Cao Hong's successful breakthrough now.
At the very least, this matter is not surprising to Wei Yan!
At the same time, after getting the news, the corners of Wei Yan's mouth also rose up without people!
"Well, it seems that I will meet that Cao Zilian soon.
Caojia white pigeon.... It's really a big name, and I don't know how many skills there are! ”
That Wei Yan was playing with a short knife in his hand at this time, and the sharp short knife was constantly changing in his hand at this time, and it was quite dangerous to look at.
And his eyes also became very dangerous at this moment...
Looking at the short knife in Wei Yan's hand, and then looking at the cold glint in Wei Yan's eyes, Xiahou Bo, the deputy general on the side, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Although Xiahou Bo has followed Liu Bei for many years, he was already a veteran under Liu Bei when he was in Xuzhou!
But now this Xiahou Bo also clearly feels that he is becoming more and more unable to keep up with Liu Bei's footsteps.
It's not just that Liu Bei is getting stronger and more mature, but even Liu Bei's side.... A large number of pillars and celebrities have also emerged.
For example, this young player Wei Yan next to him.... is a guy who can definitely be called a famous general in his eyes!
"Then Cao Hong must not have imagined that you have been waiting for him for a long time, general." Xiahou Bo also showed a smile again at this time, but he still hesitated to say a word after looking at Wei Yan's indifferent look.
"General Wenchang, this situation.... Are you really not nervous at all? ”
"....." Wei Yan's hand was also slightly stunned after hearing this, but he didn't answer anything.
Only after a brief silence continued, he continued to speak softly.
"Let the Fu Kuang and the others in the back not have to continue to chase and kill.
This kind of pursuit is just a waste of physical strength, and the generals under Cao Jun have a lot of courage!
Especially Lejin, he is a famous general under Cao Jun, although Zhang Liao is a famous general for a while!
But.... He is also unable to command the army, so he is not to worry in the eyes of the general!
As for that Li Tong... Over the years, he has also been a well-known warrior of Jianghuai, and Cao Hong is also famous for his bravery, so it is still a little difficult to leave them all behind under such circumstances.
Rather than that, it's better to wait here and wait until they escape to this place, and then give them an ambush... It's good to surprise them. ”
As Wei Yan said these words, he looked behind him again, and the hundreds of ballista carts were already ready.
This kind of ballista is one of the products of Zhuge Liang after joining Liu Bei's command.
It is said that it was born from the crossbow of the old Chu State, so that the improved crossbow car can even be fired continuously....
But to be honest, Wei Yan is also a native of Jingzhou, and he is very clear about the things in the hometown of Chu.
But just this thing, Wei Yan couldn't see what it had to do with that little thing in the Chu State back then!
However, Wei Yan also had to admit that it might be a little difficult to bring this thing to war, but if it was used in ambushes and defending the city.
That's really the best thing to use....
Jiangxia Laojun Mountain, it is rumored that there is Laojun refining here, so it is called Laojun Mountain...
At the foot of Laojun Mountain, Cao Hong and others, who had finally escaped and barely escaped from the chasing soldiers in the rear, finally stopped.
Li Tong was responsible for breaking through, Le Jin was responsible for breaking off, and Zhang Liao was following Cao Hong to lead the soldiers and horses at this time...
The group cooperated very tacitly, and they were about to break through completely.
And that Zhang Liao, Cao Hong and the others, who watched the army rest again, couldn't help but hurry up to persuade them.
"General Zilian, now is not the time to rest, the pursuers in the rear may appear at any time, and after I broke through from Xinyang, Wei Yan, the current defender of Jiangxia, has not shown up.
The last general is worried..."
"Rest assured, rest assured!" Cao Hong gasped, holding the long knife in his hand to make himself a little more relaxed, looking at the same tired soldier, he rarely showed a smile.
"Hong knows Wenyuan's worries, but... But you also know that I really can't hold on to this!
Besides, look at here, this Laojun Mountain is the last dangerous place, but even this is not a steep place.
As long as I wait to cross here, it will be a smooth road, even if Wei Yan comes, what can I do?
Therefore, Wenyuan, you can rest assured..."
"But here..."
"Don't worry! Cao has already asked people to investigate, and there is Na Wenda in front of him who is responsible for exploring the way, so he will definitely not ask..."
Before Cao Hong could finish his words, he was interrupted again by the scouts returning from the front.
In the shocked eyes of Cao Hong and the others, a soldier covered in blood and angry finally insisted on coming to his side and said a word.
"Ambush ahead... Arrows rained down, and General Li Tong was killed in battle.."
Just such a sentence that has not been up or down, it seems that all his strength has been exhausted.
Looking at the soldier who fell in front of him and was no longer silent, and then looked at the unknown ahead, Cao Hong's heart felt a wave of panic and powerlessness.
"Venda has always been brave... Why can't you even warn in time...."
"This Wei Yan boy, isn't it a ghost?"
Cao Hong's surprise could not change the current situation, and Wei Yan, who was ambushed on the Laojun Mountain on the other side, also had a gloomy face.
Instead of feeling happy because he shot Li Tong directly, he obviously had a sense of anger rising!
"It's a pity... That Cao Hong is really worthy of his name as the white pigeon of the Cao family.
This is indeed a blessing!
has reached this situation, it is really not easy for him to be able to separate the soldiers and horses under such circumstances. ”
At the foot of Laojun Mountain, Wei Yan, who was holding a long knife, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at Li Tong, who was shot like a hornet's nest.
Not long ago, he had been in ambush behind Laojun Mountain for a long time, and he wanted to do it at the moment when Cao Hong had just left Laojun Mountain and all his minds were slackened.
When the time comes, with his Wei Yan and the crossbow cart in his hand, I think he can give that Cao Hong and those Cao Jun who fled a big surprise!
Moreover, this Cao Hong, as a general of the enemy army, also understands the terrain of Jiangxia.
But Wei Yan, the current guard of Jiangxia, is no stranger, he also knows the terrain here, and Laojun Mountain is the last chance to ambush.
But he also knows that as long as he passes through Laojun Mountain... Then no matter who it is, there will definitely be a moment of relaxation.
As long as he strikes immediately, he can use the Zhuge Repeater crossbow in his hand to shoot him on the spot.
Not only did Wei Yan have no problem thinking like this, but he did do this, and he also succeeded in ambushing Li Tong and his soldiers who had just rushed over.
Especially Li Tong, the warrior who swept across the Jianghuai River back then, and Li Wenda, the Taishou who swept through Runan, was shot dead on the spot because there was no one to protect him after the loss of his personal guards.
I can't even react at all.
Hundreds of arrows were directly inserted into his body, and the armor on his body did not play any role at this moment...
This was especially true of the soldiers behind him, who could only let out a brief scream under the rain of arrows, and then collapsed in pools of blood, one corpse after another.
Only one of the riders who fell behind due to various accidents was lucky enough to breathe under the rain of arrows in the sky.
But even so, when he told Cao Hong the news, he died directly...
It was a real big win!
But.... The big win was not exchanged for happiness, but couldn't help but be disappointed, because this time it was not someone else who they wanted to ambush.
It's the henchman general under Cao Mengde, the chief general of the Cao army this time, Cao Hong!
Even if it's not good.... That should also be Zhang Liao, the fierce general next to Cao Hong!
But this little Li Tong... It's really disappointing.
Even the veteran Xiahou Bo beside Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this scene.
"It's a pity, General Wenchang, your plan is seamless, it's a pity that this Li Tong is a substitute for the dead ghost, that Cao Hong..."
"It's okay!" Although Wei Yan was very dissatisfied at this time, he still tried to retain the relaxed look on his face.
Looking at Xiahou Bo in front of him, and then at the many soldiers around him, he finally took a deep breath and continued.
"Even if there is no such thing, it doesn't matter, although Cao Hong is lucky, he still can't escape the palm of the general."
"Oh.... Could it be that the general has other preparations now? ”
"Nope!" Wei Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and then replaced it with the light smile on his face again, "But there is no need to prepare anything, tell the soldiers..... Let's march!
Block that Cao Hong at the foot of Laojun Mountain! ”
Under the order of Wei Yan, the main general of Jiangxia, the army that should have been in ambush slowly moved and rushed directly towards the place where Cao Hong was.
At the same time, a wolf smoke rose directly into the sky, and the thick wolf smoke pillar pointed out Cao Hong's direction clearly, and Fu Kuang and the others, who had been pursuing, immediately understood after seeing this scene.
After finding the location of the enemy army, this group of guys also had red eyes again, and Fu Kuang yelled directly.
"Rush forward!"
The two armies directly outflanked from the front and back, locking Cao Hong directly between Laojun Mountain and the waterway.
And Le Jin, who was supposed to be broken, also received Cao Hong's order to go and join Cao Hong immediately.
"General, why..."Le Jin, who was in charge of the break, didn't know what was going on, but he frowned a little after seeing Cao Hong so urgent.
As soon as he issued a question, he was directly interrupted by Cao Hong.
"There is an ambush ahead, Wenda has been killed in battle..."Cao Hong's face turned blue again, and a sentence made Le Jin's face change as well.
"Wenda..."The relationship between Le Jin and Li Tong is not very good, and there is no communication between them either now or before.
Le Jin is a veteran under Cao Mengde, and Li Tong is just a hero who took refuge in Cao Mengde after hearing about his name...
And when he Le Wenqian followed Cao Mengde to fight in the Quartet, he Li Tong only swept down the rebellion in Runan, and it can be said that the two never stood in the same place.
However, when Le Jin heard that Li Tong was killed in battle, he was still silent.
Maybe it's this war that makes two people who are not familiar with each other a little familiar, or maybe this war makes the relationship between two people a little warmer....
In short, Li Tong's death really touched Lejin's mind....
"Whew~" Le Jin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was even more bruised, "It seems that this Jiangxia County is really well prepared."
General Zilian...."
"Wen Qian, please speak!"
"In this battle, be the vanguard!" Le Jin said very solemnly at this time, and the resolute look on his face made Cao Hong and the others couldn't help but be silent.
Especially Cao Hong, looking at Na Lejin's armor that had been stained red with blood, as well as his increasingly pale face, and the hem that was constantly dripping blood....
"Wen Qian, Hong transferred you back, not to let you be a pioneer, but..."
"The last general understands!" Le Jin interrupted Cao Hong's words, "But after this battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the last general to go to the battlefield again... Please also give the county a chance! ”
Le Jin directly showed a smile at this time, of course he understood what Cao Hong meant, but he also understood his body!
originally thought that when he came to the south, he could rely on his own advantages to cross the four directions.
But he never expected that after coming to Jingzhou, not only did he find a chance to create brilliance again.
On the contrary, he suffered setbacks one after another, and the elite soldiers and horses under his command didn't know if they had offended God, so they had never been replenished.
I was also injured one after another, although there is nothing yet, but Lejin is very clear.
After this battle, even if he escaped, the scars on his body probably didn't allow him to continue.
After all... He's old!
Lejin's attitude made Cao Hong look sideways, and Zhang Liao on the side couldn't help but be a little moved.
"In this case, Wen Qian must be cautious!
This Wei Yan didn't know what weird methods he would have, just now there was a soldier under Wenda who fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, and he once said that arrows were like rain.."
"Rain of arrows... If that's the case, then it's a repeater! Le Jin couldn't help but grope his chin at this time, and there was something thoughtful in his eyes.
"Jin once heard Mr. Wen Ruo say that Gu Chu had twenty consecutive crossbows that shocked the world, but the power and distance could not make people feel terrifying.
But after so many years, if there are really any skilled craftsmen, it's not that they can't be improved!
The last general has already taken this matter to heart, and the general does not have to worry! ”
At this time, Le Jin's hand holding the handle of the knife was even harder, and his eyes were full of determination.
Seeing Le Jin look like this, Cao Hong, Zhang Liao and others couldn't say anything, so they could only nod silently.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill you!"
In front of Cao's army, Le Jin held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and with a roar of rage, he rushed directly with hundreds of selected daredevils.
"Stand on the shield!" On the opposite side of Le Jin, it was the equally crazy Zhang Liao, who led his soldiers and horses to stand behind the military formation with swords, waiting for the arrival of Fu Kuang and others...
Since someone is attacking and breaking through, then someone must be responsible for breaking the rear!
As for Cao Hong and the army under his command..... followed closely behind Le Jin, waiting for Le Jin to break open a gap, and they directly led the troops to rush out...
"Kill!"
At the end of the 14th year of Jian'an..... Jiangxia County finally ushered in the final battle.
Le Jin personally risked the arrow stone and led the brave soldiers to rush the Jiangxia soldiers and horses under the command of Wei Yan, wanting to use his bravery to create a miracle again.
But it's a pity that this time his opponent is Wei Yan, and it is Wei Yan who has been prepared for a long time!
First, under the salvo of crossbows, the daredevils under the command of Le Jin suffered heavy casualties, and then he personally commanded his deputy Xiahou Bo and fellow villager Deng Long to step forward and stop Le Jin to death.
That Wei Yan did not charge immediately this time, but began to constantly command the soldiers under the handsome banner to besiege these Cao legions, so that they could not rush out!
And this also showed Wei Yan's command ability beyond ordinary people, telling everyone on the other side.
He Wei Yan not only has good bravery and good strategy, but most importantly, he is also a real general, even a commander....
Under the command of Wei Yan, Le Jin, Cao Hong and others rushed desperately, but the soldiers and horses and morale of both sides were quite affected, and they were completely unable to rush out.
As the first general under Cao Cao, Na Lejin kept rushing forward to kill, fearless in the rain of arrows, and only used his shield to protect his vital points.
Letting those arrows stick into his armor and even his body, the blood flowing made him more and more courageous.
But even so, he still couldn't break through the layers of enemy troops, and the so-called gap was even more out of reach.
"Kill!" There was another roar of Qi brushing, and Cao Hong and Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses also exchanged hands with the soldiers under Wei Yan's command.
The two sides were completely scuffled together, and Fu Kuang and others in the rear also joined in at this time, and unceremoniously became a part of this chaotic battle....
In this chaotic battle, the veteran Xiahou Bo, who was born a hero, can be said to be the best among these people, constantly riding his horse and rushing to kill, and the spear in his hand will kill the enemy again and again, and there are more and more wounds on his body.
When Wei Yan didn't make a move, he was the best general, the most brave general!
And such a dazzling existence is naturally targeted by Lejin.
When he saw such a fighting general who was not much different from him appearing in front of him, he had a strange feeling in his heart at that moment.
"This old guy is really lucky..."
"That thief general, you can't afford to die!"
After another spear killing, Xiahou Bo, who was riding a horse to kill the enemy, suddenly heard a loud shout coming from his ears, and then saw Le Jin, who was covered in blood, pounced directly.
"Hah!" The war horse was raised high, and Xiahou Bo did not feel frightened by this sudden scene, but directly waved the spear in his hand.
In this way, he stabbed the spear into Na Lejin's shoulder.
He wanted to stab this Le Jin to death directly, but unfortunately although he was born a ranger, he can be regarded as brave, but after all, it is still too far from Le Jin Zhang Liao and other generals who are famous for their bravery.
This spear is a little off... At the same time, it is a little soft at the end!
This gave Nale the opportunity to counterattack.
"Die!" At the same time as his shoulder was injured, the long knife in Le Jin's hand also pierced the neck of the war horse under Xiahou Bo's crotch.
Le Jin knew very well that the guy in front of him couldn't be compared with himself, but this guy had a war horse to help.
And his war horse had already fallen on the battlefield in the rush just now.
It might be fine if it was a siege on foot, but if it was on such a chaotic battlefield, it would be too much of a problem.
So if you want to kill each other, you must... Pull him off his horse!
In the neighing of the war horse, Xiahou Bo was directly overturned and dismounted, and Le Jin looked at his blood-flowing shoulder, knowing that the blow just now had shattered his shoulder blade...
"Hey..."After a miserable laugh, Le Jin pounced directly on Kou Feng's body, and Kou Feng, who had just stood up, was knocked down again.
And the next moment, Le Jin's bloody mouth bit directly on Kou Feng's neck...
"Ahh
The screams came from Na Xiahou Bo's mouth, and the pain in his neck was unbearable for this man who also claimed to be an iron beater.
The spear couldn't pierce Le Jin's body, and at this time, Xiahou Bo could only give up the weapon in his hand, not only hitting Le Jin's ribs with his fist, but also constantly hitting him with his knees, trying to rush him away.
But no matter how hard Xiahou Bo tried at this time, Le Jin bit his neck and didn't let go.
A hand also kept hitting Xiahou Bo's body, and each blow seemed to be able to break one of the opponent's bones.
At this moment, Xiahou Bo and Le Jin are like two fierce beasts returning to the wilderness, using the most direct and ferocious method to face off...
At this moment, the two of them completely forgot that they were both famous generals on the battlefield, and they both forgot their high status in their respective armies.
They are attacking each other like this, without scruples, without a bottom line...
Blood continued to flow down Xiahou Bo's neck, and Le Jin on the other side couldn't help but protrude blood from his mouth, which was a serious wound to his ribs and many internal organs.
The blood of two people was mixed together like this....
"Save the General!"
If there were only two people, Xiahou Bo and Le Jin, I am afraid that today would be Xiahou Bo's death, but unfortunately this is the battlefield, and there are soldiers from both sides around them.
Lejin's personal guards have been killed and injured in the rush and killing, and the daredevils brought by them have all been lying on the battlefield.
At this time, he only had a few soldiers who had just rushed over to help, but on the other side, it was different, Xiahou Bo had his own personal guards by his side, and even more so the soldiers who rushed over under Wei Yan's personal command.
After a short confrontation, the soldiers around Le Jin were once again slaughtered, and several spears were directly pierced into Le Jin's back.
