I'm Liu Bei.

"My lord, are you going to raid Fanyang City?" Meng Shouli asked. I guess I thought I'd do it, so I can't wait to make sure.

"Such a great opportunity must not be missed." I replied.

"If the grain and grass in Fanyang City are burned, Zhang Liang's army must retreat." Huzi said excitedly.

It seems that the plan now is to storm the city before the other heralds.

"Marquis Meng, notify the whole army, quickly get on the horse and stand by." I shouted.

"Monkey, you lead the scouts to Fanyang City as fast as possible, and make sure that the north gate of the city is unobstructed when our army attacks the city."

"Yes!" The monkey immediately led the man and galloped away. The riding skills of these five people can be said to be the best in the whole army, and they disappeared into the southern sky in a moment.

"My lord, the whole army is on standby." Meng Shouli drove the horse to report closely.

"Medium speed forward, target Fan Yang City, go!"

It was more than ten miles to Fanyang City, and our army was running around overnight, so in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the knights, they could only advance at a medium speed. Even at a medium speed, it can maneuver up and down fifteen miles in an hour, and it can definitely arrive before the rebel reinforcements arrive. Second, put some distance from the monkey and give him plenty of time to deal with the North Gate.

I've never doubted the monkey's ability to do things. As the saying goes, "don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people".

At this moment, we were riding at a moderate speed through a vast wasteland. Sun exposure is irritating.

This wasteland is overgrown with weeds, and from time to time there is a stream running through it, and it is very fertile land. It's a pity that it's so deserted now.

"In the past few years, there have been a lot of floods here, and the crops have been submerged, and many people have been drowned. In recent years, there have been constant rebellions everywhere, and there have been endless external troubles, and the taxes of the court are onerous and difficult, so the people have left their homes and found another livelihood. Meng Shouli saw my thoughts and sighed.

"Where is the Marquis from? It feels like you're more aware of things in this area. ”

"Humble people. A few years ago, there was a rebellion here, and he was the commander of the army at that time, and he came here with the army to quell the rebellion. So there is some understanding. ”

I can't imagine that what is recorded in the history books is not bad at all. During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there were really rebellions, and the people were struggling to make a living, which finally caused a rebellion of unprecedented scale.

While galloping, he was thinking wildly.

In the past few days, he has been living almost on horseback, but he has made a little improvement in his riding skills, and unconsciously followed the army at a medium speed, without the slightest feeling of difficulty. However, it is still a long way from the requirements of cavalry warfare. I want to take advantage of this strategic breakthrough to practice riding skills.

Gradually, an ancient city loomed ahead. I finally saw Fan Yangcheng. Looking at the scale, it is about the same size as the city, and it is a small city. I don't know how many rebels are in the city.

"Your Excellency, it's time to go full throttle!" Meng Shouli asked.

"Give the order." As I spoke, I whipped my horse and galloped, and at once rushed to the front. But in an instant, he was overtaken by the knights behind him. Their riding skills are amazing, I can't say enough, after formal training, they are much better than my half-ass.

Thousands of horses galloped, and the momentum was huge. Like a flying knife, it splits the air in half and plunges it straight into the north gate.

The city was getting closer and closer, and I could already see the front of the cavalry rushing into the north gate. The monkey did the job.

I whipped up excitedly and chased after me. At this point, I was left far behind by them. I really don't understand, I'm also their commander, and I forgot about me when I started fighting. If you think about it, I, the commander, just gave orders and planned the course of action. The specific matters of the war were arranged by the five military marquis. In particular, Meng Shouli often gave orders for me, and Yan Ran had become Sima.

The shouts of killing continued. It irritates me to be anxious, but there is nothing I can do. Superb riding skills cannot be practiced by living on the ground in a few days.

A horse in front of him rushed over, and the speed was as fast as lightning, which was staggering.

It's a monkey.

"Monkey!" I shouted. "Tell me about the situation."

As soon as my voice fell, the monkey stopped beside him, and I couldn't understand how he had made the horse stop so quickly.

"My lord, there are only a few hundred rebels in the city who guard the grain and grass. The rebel has been captured by the little one. The monkey said happily.

"Not bad, I didn't expect your martial arts to be so good." I boasted.

"The grain and grass are piled up in the city, and there are nearly 10,000 stones."

"Damn, that's a lot. Walk! Take a look. ”

The two of us rode forward, and by the time I entered the city, the whole town was already under the control of our army, and only sporadic fighting was still going on. Meng Shouli rode over and asked excitedly: "Burn it?" My lord. ”

"Burn!" I replied in a loud voice. "Burn it all for me, but I want to see what his 120,000 army eats!"

A moment later, all the granaries in Fanyang City were already in a sea of fire. The whole city was shrouded in billowing smoke. Thousands of thick smoke like an oolong rushing straight into the clouds, magnificent.

"My lord, the dust is rising outside the northern city, and rebel reinforcements are coming." Huzi ran over to report.

"Have all the knights assemble outside the South City." After saying that, I went straight to Nancheng with the monkey.

Standing outside the southern city, looking up at the smoke billowing and covering the sky, I seemed to see Zhang Liang's angry face.

The knights came out of the city one after another. After finishing the formation, Meng Shouli reported the number: "Seventeen people were killed in this battle, one person was redone, and forty-six people were slightly injured. ”

"Seriously injured?" I swept through the army and saw two knights making improvised frames out of numbness and bamboo poles. Next to him lay a knight on the ground.

I ran over.

He was tied with a thick white cloth around his chest, and the bright red blood had soaked most of the white cloth into blood red. And his face was not in the pain of wrestling with death.

"Can it still be cured?"

"It didn't hurt the heart, it can be treated. I just can't bear the bumps right away. Meng Shouli sighed.

A big question came to me. Whether it's to save him or to run a long way. The army could not slow down with him, and reinforcements from the rebels were already close at hand.

If he is not saved, the army will be disheartened, and the next long-distance attack will not be able to go on at all. What to do? Do you want to save him?

You can't have it both ways.

"Your Excellency." The seriously wounded soldier cried out softly.

I crouched down and said, "Don't worry, this captain will definitely find a way to heal your injuries." You can lie down in peace. ”

Save him. At this point, I have decided to fight a tough battle with the rebels. I stood up and shouted, "Brothers, line up and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Help me up." The seriously wounded soldier was helped to his feet by the knight next to him. His lips were pale, but he was relieved to spit out word by word: "The adults value love and righteousness, and the small ones can't be repaid." The small one's name is Zhao Feng, a native of Changshan. There is only one younger brother in the family, named Zhao Yun. If possible, please take care of me. ”

Zhao Yun? His younger brother's name is Zhao Yun? I was surprised when I saw a flash of cold light. Zhao Feng has already committed suicide with the first knife of the ring.

"Brother!" I yelled, my mind was shocked by Zhao Feng's act of sacrificing his life for righteousness, and my mind went blank.

"Brother Zhao Feng goes all the way!" Meng Shouli roared tragically. He led all the knights to kneel. Listening to his tone, he already knew that Zhao Feng would do this.

"You already knew he was going to do it, so why didn't you stop him?" I yelled at Meng Shouli.

"My lord, let's go. I can't live up to the hard work of Brother Zhao Feng. Shi Sandan knelt down and pleaded. It seems that he knows it too. I swept the knights, and their expressions told me that they knew it.

"The rules of the Northern Army, everything is based on war." Meng Shouli said with tears streaming down his face.

I know that if they were seriously injured, they would do the same. This kind of righteous act has been deeply ingrained in their bones.

"Get on the horse!" I shouted and jumped on my horse. The whip urged the horse to the southeast. I didn't dare look back because I didn't want them to see me in tears.
