The wind blew through the wilderness, and in the distant sky, a touch of fish white was already faintly revealed.

The camp of the Chen army on the west side of the siege of Jiangling City was still shrouded in sleep, and the intensity of construction over the past few days made the whole army feel tired, and at this time, the soldiers who had been on duty all night were the most sleepy.

When Xiao Maha was patrolling the camp early in the morning, he bumped into several soldiers who were dozing off, and after teaching a few words with a gloomy face, he was a little worried: "I heard that in recent months, the general's old illness has relapsed, and during the military meeting, he often falls asleep and is depressed, which is really worrying." ”

Zhang Zhaoda suffers from a chronic disease, has not been able to cure it, in the past few years, his body is not as good as day by day, relying on the last breath of heart to conquer Jiangling to survive until now, in front of the corporal and generals, he has also been strong to support the appearance of the body, just in order not to let the subordinates worry, must patrol the camp every day, and must be present in every battle. But Liang Guo's defense was too tenacious, and Zhang Zhaoda finally began to be unable to support it.

"100,000 male soldiers, blocked by Lu Teng and an old horseman in the city for three months, unable to advance an inch, is really annoying! I heard that the Qi State had already taken the entire territory of Xiangyang, if my Da Chen could have ended this battle earlier, I would not have sat back and watched the Qi State swallow Xiangyang......

"My army of 100,000 is just to rob Jiangling? Not cost-effective! I'm afraid that the general also heard that the Qi State was victorious and there was no hope of retaking Jingxiang, so he aggravated his condition......" Xiao Maha waved his horsewhip and blushed his face, "The Qi people just picked up the advantage of our army's westward advance, and they are not really capable, if this battle is over, what to say, we have to find an excuse to touch the Qi people, we can't really ask them to take Xiangyang!" ”

At this time, there was a rumbling sound from the earth, and the dew on the weeds shook off, and I saw the small stones and sand under my feet trembling gently. Although this feeling was still very weak, Xiao Maha could still feel it, and his complexion immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse to turn around, shouting: "The enemy army is coming!" "This is by no means an illusion of oneself, if it weren't for the six armies of the Zhou and Liang coalition armies, it would definitely be impossible to have such a formation!

In the faintly discernible sky, the figures of a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance.

It was only at this time that the faint sound of horses' hooves was heard.

This brigade of cavalry is fierce and elite, and all the cloth on the horse's hooves is silent, and the horses are as fast as the wind.

Lu Teng was like a tiger lurking in the forest, watching them coldly in the dark as they worked on the river embankment for a few days, and then at this point in time, they launched a surprise attack!

Not only Xiao Maha, extending eastward along the river bank, the soldiers who were on duty on both sides to defend the ferry also discovered the abnormal movement here, the Chen army camp was dense, and the large-scale dispatch of the Zhou army could not hide their ears and eyes, but the enemy's actions were too fast, a cavalry army of hundreds of people took the lead in the front, and the crowds were surging, and all the war horses had already mentioned the highest speed!

These cavalrymen fell silently on their horses, holding spears and horse lances, and the swords of the horses hung under their necks, surging like the tide of the sea! Layer by layer, like a wall! Closer, the sound of horses' hooves could finally be heard, and there was no way to tell the number, but it rumbled into a ball, like a muffled thunder hidden behind the clouds, enveloping the tens of thousands of defenders of the entire embankment, as well as thousands of people!

A soldier fell from the earthen wall in horror, rolled a few times and quickly got up, raised his spear forward, and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! More mournful shouts followed suit, and the sound of golden drums in Chen's camp was loud, and he was desperately beating to warn.

The soldiers and soldiers resting in the camp were all alarmed, and the men of the black pressure quickly gathered from the tents, behind the wall, and in the fields. In the face of the sudden attack of the Zhou army, the coach Zhang Zhaoda also estimated and prepared. After a short period of hectic confusion, the generals who stayed behind in the barracks quickly assembled their troops and issued orders one by one.

"The first post, to defend the flanks of the camp, the second post, plus the bed crossbow, ready to snipe the enemy, the third outpost ......"

The Chen army camp in the east also received the news at the same time, and the deputy marshal Fan Yi pressed his sword and shouted: "...... The general has an order! Everyone is in their place, dispatched by a certain unified dispatch, soldiers and horses are dispatched, no disobedience, no noise, no escape, and those who disturb the hearts of the army will be beheaded! ”

Lu Teng's raid on the river embankment suddenly touched the sensitive nerves of the Chen army, although the military horses guarding the ferry were equipped with a lot of bows and crossbows, and there were also military weapons such as bed crossbows, relying on the terrain on the river bank and backing the camp, it would definitely be able to break the head of the Zhou army, but this river embankment was the key to breaking the city, Fan Yi did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly dispatched the heavy armored cavalry of the Chinese army to suppress the formation.

"The whole army is stubborn, and there is no attack!" Xiao Maha was worthy of his bravery, and led a team of personal soldiers into the enemy cavalry formation to fight, and only when he was ready did he grab a war horse and run back, and in the case of the enemy siege, he killed and injured more than a dozen cavalrymen, at this time his appearance was not good-looking, covered in blood, and several places on his body were painted. Xiao Maha left behind his own soldiers, and immediately scattered as promised.

On the battlefield on the west side of the embankment, there is an open and flat area, which is extremely suitable for large-scale cavalry combat.

Hundreds of cavalry came violently, causing everyone's nerves to collapse suddenly.

Chen Jun held a bow and crossbow, fired crossbow arrows in a row, and rows of feather arrows were inserted into the ground in clear layers. This is the so-called "land of shots", and this is the marking. Within this range, they can inflict a large number of effective casualties on the enemy, and at the same time, it is also a warning, and those who dare to step further will die!

Everyone was holding a cold sweat in their palms, and the cavalry at the front on the opposite side, non-stop, frantically swept over the low wall marked by the outermost row of short feathered arrows falling on the ground, and rushed towards this side with great speed!

"-Control! …… Hair! ”

The generals of the Chen army shouted loudly, the bowstring was full, the arrows were raised, and the aim was aim, and with an order, a dark cloud rose in the sky, and countless short crossbow arrows fell like a torrential rain, rushing straight to the enemy cavalry! Several rows of cavalry in front of them, almost simultaneously pounced, and the men and horses rolled into a ball......

The wails and painful neighing of the horses resounded in front of him, and the cavalry that followed quickly overwhelmed the position, ignoring what was ahead......

They followed one after the other, and even though the arrows penetrated the texture, they still charged forward, and not one of them glanced at the robes that had fallen into the dust, and not one of them slowed down slightly. In front of them, even if it is a comrade-in-arms who is bloody, they can step over without hesitation!

In the face of such a hedgehog-like large array of bows and crossbows, the cavalry has always been constantly harassing on the flanks. Tempt the opponent to shoot arrows in the left of the range, until the opponent's bow and arrow stamina is almost exhausted, and then approach or shoot on foot or ride to fight for another period of human life, and then frustrate the physical strength and morale of the archer, and finally gather momentum, launch a most fierce charge, and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop!

And these people in front of them are different, they are actually going to collide with Chen Jun head-on! In the face of the ferocious attack of Chen Jun's crossbow arrows, they did not flinch and shouted forward! With their flesh and blood wrapped in iron armor, they face sharp crossbow arrows, and every time they fire from the opposite side, they will pay dozens or dozens of casualties, and they are not afraid! After seven or eight rounds of shooting, there was not much cavalry left, and the distance between Chen's army and them was less than twenty paces! General Chen's face turned pale, and he could already clearly see the faces of these people hiding behind their horses. A fierce look appeared on their faces, and when they lifted their lances, the war horses seemed to be flying into the air with four hooves, and crashed into the array in an extremely domineering attitude, and the blood waves surged......

Behind them, countless infantry armor rushed forward with long knives and swords......

Fan Yi led more than 1,000 heavy armored iron horses, hurriedly came to help, was blocked by a Zhou army of thousands of people, the commander of this army is Lu Teng's deputy general Gao Lin, Gao Lin is old, wearing leather armor, sitting on horseback, without fear, a young general next to him, the armor is bright, although young, but he has a heroic momentum. Xiao Cong, the prince of Xiliang, actually fought in person?

It seems that Lu Teng's purpose is indeed to destroy Zhang Zhaoda's fortifications on the West Causeway, otherwise why would it have come to this point? Things have come to this point, and there is only one battle.

"Destroy you, Lao Tzu will go to Lu Teng again!" Fan Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his arm was just pointing ahead, and the tower-like armor rode pressed up.

This heavy armored iron cavalry was cultivated by Nan Chen Xing, and the whole country was only a few thousand in size, and last year, the Northern Qi and the Southern Dynasties traded with each other, and sold thousands of war horses with the Southern Dynasties, which expanded by hundreds of cavalry.

The Southern Dynasties lacked war horse resources, the number of cavalry was far from being compared with the Northern Dynasties, the quantity was insufficient, the quality was to make up, their cavalry was extremely well-equipped, and they were simply armed to the teeth, for the Northern Expedition, Chen Ji almost gritted his teeth and pulled more than half of the heavy cavalry to the army, and the combat effectiveness is naturally needless to say, in Fan Yi's opinion, Gao Lin and Xiao Cong, an old man who is about to die, a hairy child who has not dried up, what can he do? It's a snap of a finger!

Liang Jun's spearmen, sword and shield hands, big axe hands and other heavily armored foot soldiers came out of the crowd, draped in front, blocking the front of the crossbowmen, the crossbowmen fired while retreating, although the iron cavalry was fierce, but on the ground, in the end, it was still the world of foot soldiers, Fan Yi's distance had not yet been opened, and the impact of the iron cavalry was slightly weaker, which gave Liang Jun a chance.

Almost all of them are not afraid of death, they do their best to protect their home and country, and they do not hesitate to be crushed and trampled to death by iron horses! A Liang pawn was picked up by the lance, the lance was pushed into the stomach, the little soldier was only in his twenties, holding the lance and not letting go, that Chen Guojia rode hard to pull back and even dragged his intestines out, the next moment, a spear stabbed from the side, pierced into his waist, and dragged the armor horse from the horse, after the armor rode to the ground, a few rolled, please stabbed the spear, pulled out the saber on the waist, slashed hard, blocked a few open guns and hidden arrows, was smashed to the ground by a strong man wrapped in iron armor with a shield, An axe then fell on top of his head......

The cavalry picked up the Liang army in front of them, and the Liang army swarmed up, picking and killing the armored cavalry on horseback, and there were tragic and bloody battles everywhere...... In front of the camp watchtower, Zhang Zhaoda looked at the railing, his face was a little sallow, but he still forced himself to sit down.

The shadow of the sword and the axe, and the waves of blood soared, spreading out in front of him. The veteran was also a little moved at the moment, "Is it Lu Teng...... cough cough cough cough ...... Ahem! As he spoke, he coughed violently, bent his waist, and his own soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to ease him, but was stopped by Zhang Zhaoda, "Lu Teng is fierce, we must fight quickly, otherwise there may be a big disaster, let Shaoqing (Cheng Wenji) lead another army and cut off Lu Teng's back road!" ”

Then he continued to watch the battle, and after Fan Yi realized that he was underestimating the enemy, he immediately made adjustments, and the army was divided into several directions, and all of them were pressed. It was a life-and-death battle, with both the prey and the hunter fighting to survive in the Shura field.

Every family and country naturally has its own position, and it cannot be forced.

Lu Teng and the monarchs of Liang concealed the news of the Qi people's attack on Xiangyang, and they have been creating an atmosphere of life and death battle.

Xiao Cong kicked away Chen Jun who pounced, wiped the blood on his face, raised his sword and looked around, and shouted:

"Whoever beheads the head of the Zhangzhao Xiang will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and kill with me!"

…………

To the north of Gangneung, in Jangsan-gun, a little shadow of the sun has just emerged, and a thin layer of snow on the ground has been dyed pink by the sun.

The field of vision unfolded in front, countless banners obscured the figure of the mountain, and in front of the school field was a high platform, and several important ministers of Xiliang with gold and purple waists stood respectfully on the side. On the high platform, gifts are piled up, and on the dark red lacquer plate, is the seal of the king of Xiliang.

Prime Minister Wang Cao presented the seal ribbon without changing his face, "My Liang country, from today on, will be the ...... of the Great Qi Ministers."

Lu Teng would never have thought that Liang Guojunchen would play such a hand for him.

The elegant middle-aged man in front of him glanced at the lacquer plate, put it away preciously, and then led him to sit down and prepare the food and drinks.

"The inheritance of the ancestors is also willing to give it up?"

"When you are dying, there is no room for a moment of delay," Wang Cao lowered his eyelids, "If you have a choice, you will naturally not give up your ancestors' inheritance, and our Majesty is also ...... There's no way around it. ”

"Hahahaha," Wang Lin laughed heartily, and then said solemnly: "Our Majesty has mentioned you many times, saying that you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and now that I see it, I really have a good spirit and determination!" Fortunately, you have surrendered now, and our majesty will definitely use it again for you! ”

Wang Cao was unmoved, and said lightly:

"Let me talk about the things to come, and if the Lord commands me to go and serve, it is my duty to do so.

"The most important thing now, when will you send troops to help?"

"The Liang State is already a Great Qi vassal state, and the Southern Dynasty attacking Liang is provoking the Great Qi, how can a certain governor who is the governor of His Majesty's order sit idly by?"

Wang Lin smiled and stood up,

Under the high platform, thousands of troops and horses spread out layer upon layer.

"—Immediately on the expedition!"
