On weekdays, when the sky is hazy.

The sunset was gradually emerging from the east, and smoke rose from the southern military camp on the weir of the Feishui River. After the man was busy in the camp, he chatted a few gossips with the sergeants who passed by at night from time to time, showing a simple expression.

A fireman is often assigned to cook for his colleagues in the same account. In Huo Jun's military system, those who serve as firemen often need to choose those who are honest and powerful, can shoulder, are willing to be subordinate, and can endure similar servants.

This is not that Huo Jun specializes in bullying honest people, but it is determined by the special nature of the army, which as a violent machine, cannot be compared with normal society.

Being a firefighter in the army is mostly to take care of others, washing pots and cooking food, if you don't choose an honest person to be a firefighter, but let a hot-tempered person serve as a firefighter, where can you endure the oppression of others. There must be a lot of contradictions and quarrels in the tent.

Of course, the fireman also has a good treatment, there is no need to keep vigil and patrol, and it is not their turn to fight in daily combat. And if they win the battle, they will be rewarded.

What is fairness in the management of the army by generals?

Not only is the reward and punishment fair during the battle, but also the combat exploits of his subordinates. It is also necessary to be able to develop indicators for the subordinates of each role that meet their assessment, so as to ensure that each role can get the right reward as much as possible.

Just as the firefighters were cooking in the pot and preparing for breakfast this morning.

The 6,000 sergeants in Hefei had already eaten meat and drank alcohol, and had a full meal. Under the summons of Zhang Liao, the armor was sharp, and assembled at the gate of the city.

Xue Yi walked down from the city tower and said, "General, it's been Pingdan." In the southern military camp, the firefighters cook rice, and the night patrol sergeants take turns to rest. ”

Zhang Liao took a deep breath, reached out and took the long lance in the hand of the attendant, and shook the lance lightly with his right hand.

Zhang Liao checked the bow and arrow on the horse's back and said, "Although Huo Jun has skipped people, it is difficult to change the time. In peacetime, the night patrol sergeants were tired, and the soldiers were sluggish when they first woke up. Today, if you break through the village, you will be able to gain. ”

Huo Jun sent the army north, and Zhang Liao could also guess about the idea of collecting troops and gathering camps. First, there is a rear hand outside the camp, with a sense of urgency of the time when the rainy season is approaching, to lure themselves into battle, and then destroy them in one fell swoop; Second, Huo Jun wanted to rely on his current strength to hold the river weir and hold on until the water rose in the rainy season and flooded Hefei.

However, no matter what kind of idea Huo Jun belongs to, if Zhang Liao does not take advantage of the army to go north and go out of the city to destroy the river weir, he is afraid that the only thing waiting for him is to flood the city. And Zhang Liao also had confidence, he didn't believe that Huo Jun could accurately guess that he chose to go out of the city and break the village in Pingdan.

Looking at Zhang Liao, who was about to go out of the city to fight, Xue Yi said: "General, you should be careful, if the war is unfavorable, you can withdraw your troops and not entangle with the enemy." He and General Zhu prepared a bow and crossbow in Xicheng and responded to the general with a bow and crossbow. ”

"Good!"

Zhang Liao turned over on his horse and turned his head to look at Li Dian.

Li Dian put on his hood, clenched the lance in his hand, nodded to Zhang Liao, and signaled that he and his subordinates were ready.

"Out of town!"

With a creaking sound, the drawbridge is also slowly descending, resting on the moat.

Then the melodious drum horn sounded on the city tower, and in the sound of the drum, the north city gate suddenly opened, and a general wearing heavy armor galloped out on a prancing horse, followed by the armored cavalry. Amid the galloping sound of the horsemen, thousands of foot soldiers also left the city.

"Phew!"

Riding his horse to Li Dian's side, Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "Man Cheng, Liao is deeply sorry for the old things. In the past, each was his master, and the soldiers fought and killed, and the soldiers had no eyes, which harmed their lives, which was not Liao's original intention. Now you and I go out of the city to break the enemy, I hope to fight together, and it will not be a bad thing. ”

Li Dian held the reins in his hand, looked at the resolute face hidden under the beast's face, and said: "Dian and the general are for personal grudges, what do they have to do with official affairs?" Today, we will go to difficulties together, only to break the enemy! ”

Zhang Liao showed a rare smile and said, "Liao led the cavalry in front, and the general died in the back." first break through Huang Zhong's northern camp, and then enter the Chinese army to see if Huo Jun's life can be taken. ”

"Good!"

Outside the north gate, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to go first, and in the sound of horses' hooves, he went to the Heyan camp to kill. Li Dian led the march outside the city to form a whole formation, prepared bows and crossbows, armed with swords and spears, the soldiers were in good order, and the sound of armor sounded in the queue, slowly approaching the Heyan camp.

At this time, the non-commissioned officers of the Southern Army, who were standing on a high place and watching, had already discovered Zhang Liao's headquarters rushing to the camp to kill, shouted the enemy attack with all their might, and beat the golden drum on the watchtower, indicating that the camp was attacking by enemy troops.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of drums resounded in the Heyan barracks, and the sergeants patrolling the camp shouted and ran, signaling that the camp was on guard for an enemy attack. However, at dawn, the sergeant woke up shortly after washing, or eating breakfast, and his reaction was a little slower than usual.

The weir camp is trapezoidal from the sky, and the river from the fertile water continues to flow into the weir, and it is already about to fill more than half of the weir. If the heavy rain arrives, the weir will inevitably be filled.

The front of the weir camp is a gentle slope, and the camp is built on the top and bottom of the gentle slope. Under the gentle slope, there are antlers, horses, and ditches on the periphery of the camp as camp fortifications, and the sergeants rely on the fortifications to patrol and guard. The two sergeants of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were respectively arranged around the river weir, and anyone who wanted to destroy the river weir had to fight with the second department.

After half a ring, the cavalry commanded by Zhang Liao had approached the river weir from afar, the soldiers in the village were in a hurry to reorganize the army, and the sergeants on the periphery of the camp were already in a hurry to meet the battle.

"Archery!"

The soldiers stationed on the periphery saw Zhang Liao leading his cavalry to raid, and the crossbowmen hurriedly set up bows and shoot arrows. However, before they could shoot, they were greeted with a rain of arrows, which caused them to dodge in a hurry.

Zhang Liao clamped his legs between the horse's belly, galloped along the perimeter of the fortifications, took his bow and put arrows, and shot several people with heavy arrows at a distance of dozens of paces, which was extremely brave.

Hundreds of arrows flew out of the cavalry, shooting at the sergeant hiding behind the horse. Most of those southern soldiers were killed and wounded, and they were suppressed by cavalry shooting, so how dare they shoot at the cavalry.

Taking advantage of this time, two or three hundred cavalry soldiers of the Cao army dismounted, and under the cover of cavalry and shooting, moved away from the horses, or cut off the antlers with swords and axes, and opened the passage into the camp.

A Southern soldier hiding in the distance raised his heavy crossbow and aimed at the Cao army cavalry who was moving the antlers.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Liao caught a glimpse of it, raised his bow and shot, and the heavy arrow broke through the air, and it was in the throat of the southern pawn eighty paces away. The southern pawn clutched his throat, blood gushing out uncontrollably, and now the precision archery scared off the southern army's foot soldiers.

In this way, Cao Cai used cavalry to suppress the infantry of the southern army, and the cavalry dismounted and fought on foot, and Zhang Liao quickly opened the passage to the Heyan camp.

After a while, the passage was opened by Cao's army, and the southern army in the camp continued to pour out at this time. Zhang Liao led his cavalry to rush in, slashing and stabbing with swords, trampling on horses, and slashing and killing the southern army that supported the slaughter from the camp.

Zhang Liao saw the two spearmen killing, took the bow in his hand, opened the bow left and right, and released two arrows in a row. One of the two foot soldiers in the front was shot in the throat and the other was shot in the eye socket, and they died tragically on the spot.

Zhang Liao turned his head to look behind him, and saw that Li Dian and his foot soldiers had reached the edge of the fortifications, and the foot soldiers had poured in along the passage, and then relieved himself.

"Kill!"

Zhang Liao held the lance in his hand, rode his horse to clash left and right in the crowd, flipped his wrist, swung the lance and stabbed, killing several people in a row, such a brave performance frightened the southern army can't help but be timid.

The sergeant on the watchtower saw that Zhang Liao was so brave and wanted to shoot with a bow. However, Zhang Liao had already raised his bow and crossbow from the left and right and shot the sergeant on the watchtower at the camp gate.

"Kill!"

Li Dian led the foot soldiers to kill, and with the support of the foot soldiers, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao became more and more calm. In an instant, the outer fortifications were washed to pieces, and the southern guards who were holding the camp gate could not resist Zhang Liao's onslaught, and Cao's army poured into the camp on foot.

Zhang Liao was used as a blade, and the lance was smashed with stabs, killing several people in an instant. The captain of the Southern Military Academy rode a horse to meet the battle, rode a horse and held a spear, and stabbed Zhang Liao in the chest with the strength of the horse.

Zhang Liao dodged sideways, the tip of the spear grazing against his chest, almost scratching a white mark on the iron armor. But I saw Zhang Liao waving the long lance, his arms were extended, the sharp blade slashed through his neck, and the blood in the arteries burst out.

Zhang Liao and Li Dian led the infantry to take advantage of the dawn to launch a surprise attack out of the city, which caught the southern army foot soldiers by surprise and entered the camp. However, as the war progressed, all units of the Southern Army had completed the reorganization of the army and were put into battle under the command of Huo Jun.

On the slope of the river weir, the 'Huo' Daxu flutters in the wind.

Huo Jun was dressed in armor and held a Han sword in his hand, standing on a gentle slope, looking down on the battle taking place in the camp. However, he saw that Zhang Liao, with the cooperation of the infantry and cavalry, relied on his own bravery to rush left and right in the camp, and there was no enemy.

Huang Zhong's face was ugly, and he surrendered his hand to fight, and said: "Governor, Zhang Liao has entered the camp, and the soldiers are timid and difficult to fight, and Zhong asks to fight." ”

Huo Jun's face was indifferent, and he said: "Zhang Liao, the general of the tiger and wolf." Now the soldiers and horses under the tent are in full swing, how can they fight the enemy. And use the soldiers and horses in the battalion to consume Zhang Liao's strength, and when the enemy is tired, the old general will lead the elite cavalry to kill, and he should be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

As mentioned before, Xiahoudun, Wu Dun, and Zhang Liao are located in various places. In order to prevent Wu Dun from converging with Xiahoudun and putting pressure on the besieging army. Huo Jun chose to strike first, using the development of the intelligence system, the elite of the Xuan army, and the Xuzhou soldiers in the north; In order to prevent Xiahoudun from going south, Huo Jun sent a large army north to resist.

For the enemy army in Hefei, Huo Jun was indeed luring Zhang Liao to fight. But Huo Jun really didn't have a backhand, and he only had two or three thousand more soldiers and horses in Hefei City.

Why is there no backhand?

Without him, Huo Jun believed that with his own command art, he would defeat the second general Zhang and Li.

Zhang Liao's raid was counted by Huo Jun, but Yu Pingdan's raid was not accurately calculated by Huo Jun. However, even so, Huo Jun still believed that with the original arrangement, he could defeat the two generals Zhang and Li.

In the camp, Zhang Liao fought bloodily, blocking left and right. Under his leadership, the cavalry turned Huang Zhong's camp upside down. Many of the foot soldiers of the Southern Army were killed by the cavalry and retreated, and there were many people who fell to the ground and groaned, and the soldiers and horses in Huang Zhong's camp were already difficult to resist the infantry and cavalry attacks of the Cao army.

Seeing that the battle situation in the North Camp was so unfavorable, Huo Jun ordered: "Let General Zilong lead his troops to support the North Camp." ”

"No!"

The standard-bearer on the slope of the river weir waved the military flag and signaled Zhao Yun of the southern camp to support the northern battalion. Zhao Yun received Huo Jun's order and led the elite infantry cavalry of the southern camp to support the northern battalion.

Shaoqing, Zhao Yun lifted the lance and rode the horse and appeared in the North Camp. But at this time, the north camp was already in chaos, the soldiers scattered and fled, the generals did not see the soldiers, and no one dared to fight by beating the drums.

In the chaotic battle, Zhao Yun saw the flag bearer fleeing with the flag, and scolded: "Flag bearer, what crime should it be if the flag is not raised?" ”

Zhao Yun aimed at the flag bearer with a bow and said sharply: "Raise the flag and raise the troops, and go out with the general." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun was aiming at him with a bow and arrow, the standard-bearer hurriedly raised the flag and followed behind Zhao Yun. As soon as the flag was raised, the soldiers of the headquarters gathered around the standard-bearers one after another, fighting under the shouts of the officers.

The reinforcements from the southern camp joined the battle, and Zhang Liao, who had a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, suddenly found that a large number of banners appeared in the battalion. And the enemy army is strong, different from the old and weak under Huang Zhong's tent, this unit dares to fight and kill, and is well-equipped.

Zhang Liao stabbed the foot soldiers of the Southern Army to death, and asked loudly: "But Zhao Yunchi came to help!" ”

From the horse looked around and said, "It is Zhao Yun's department." ”

Then, from the ride and surprise, said: "General, there is Huo Jun Daxu on the river weir!" ”

Zhang Liao looked for prestige and saw that on the high slope of the river weir, 'Huo' Daxu was standing, eye-catching and abnormal.

"Haha!"

After a few laughs, Zhang Liao wiped his face, and the blood in his hands stained his face red. Under that laughter, the scarlet face was very hideous.

"This is the occasion for meritorious service!"

Zhang Liao looked back behind him and saw that Li Dian was not far from him, so he rode his horse to find Zhang Liao and said: "Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses are elite, the enemy is outnumbered, and he is between the enemy camps, so he can't fight for a long time. ”

After a pause, Zhang Liao said: "Huo Jun is standing on the river weir. Liaoguan left and right, only hundreds of steps died at the bottom of the slope to guard. Whether General Li can lead the infantry to plunder the Liao array, and a certain cavalry to charge and kill Shangyan, to see if he can kill Huo Jun. ”

"How could it be!"

Li Dian looked at the big banner on the river weir and nodded in response.

"Come with me!"

The two generals Zhang and Li couldn't take care of Zhao Yun, and immediately drew troops and horses to kill Huo Jun on the river weir. Such a move, how could it not be seen by the condescending Huo Jun.

Seeing Huang Zhong, who was closely watching Zhang Liao's movements, he said: "Dudu, Zhang Liao led the cavalry towards me to kill, can you fight?" ”

Huo Jun bowed his head slightly, and said: "There is Lao Lao Lao General on the horse to prepare for battle, and when the order is launched, he will lead a hundred elite cavalry to rush into the battle and kill the attacking generals. ”

Since it was to lure the enemy into battle, Huo Jun naturally had to have a bait to hook Zhang Liao.

Looking at Zhang Liao's way of using troops, most of them are elite advances, breaking the enemy and cutting generals, and pure border martial arts fighting methods. And this kind of combat method, Huo Jun is too familiar with it, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu are mostly this kind of tactical play. If you want to tempt Zhang Liao today, Huo Jun personally takes the bait, which is the most suitable.

Huang Zhong bowed his hand to Huo Jun and said, "Zhang Liao is brave, Li Dian dares to fight." Please seek the opportunity to evacuate, so that the sword does not have eyes. ”

Huo Jun smiled faintly and said, "Although Zhang Liao is brave, how can he hurt me if he has a general and General Zilong to face him?" ”

"No!"

While Huang Zhong was going downhill to prepare for battle, General Zhang and Li had already led their horses to the river weir to kill, and Ding Fengtong had 500 foot soldiers guarding around the river weir. At this time, the spear-wielding soldier is in front, and the bow-wielding crossbow is behind, relying on the river weir to form a formation.

Seeing that Zhang Liao and Li Dian were less than two hundred steps away from him, Huo Jun subconsciously looked at the long lance on his side, and took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions.

Zhang Liao and Li Dian noticed the cover on the river weir and became more and more excited. In today's battle, if they can kill Huo Jun, they will not only be able to relieve the siege of Hefei, but also be famous all over the world.

Ding Feng stood with his lance in his hand, hoarse, and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

Nearly half of the 500 soldiers were crossbowmen, aiming at Cao's infantry and shooting intensively. Hundreds of arrows rose into the air like dark clouds and shot at Cao Jun. Under the charge, the war horse that had no time to dodge fell down, and the rider fell. The foot soldier was hit by an arrow, and he couldn't help but groan in pain, screaming again and again.

However, even so, Cao Junbu rode under the drive of the two generals Zhang and Li, and still rushed forward towards the river weir!

Zhang Liao walked towards the horse, in the face of the rain of arrows, he used a long lance to dial, although there was an arrow, but because he was wearing heavy armor, the most injured muscles, difficult to the depths. And the pain aroused his fighting spirit and stimulated his strong nerves.

"Zhang Wenyuan is here!"

Zhang Liao raised his lance, rode his horse into battle, and shouted loudly: "Huo Zhongmiao, do you dare to fight?" ”

In the midst of the shouts, Zhang Liao swung his lance and stabbed the spearman to death. The war horse immediately rushed in from the gap in front of him, and the follow-up foot soldiers entered with the formation, fighting hand-to-hand with the five hundred guards led by Ding Feng.

Huo Jun sneered a few times and ordered: "Blow the trumpet and besiege and kill the two generals Zhang and Li." ”

"No!"

"Woo~"

The attendant raised his horn and sounded a long trumpet.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhong came out from behind the forage field under the river weir, and rode heavily with more than 100 armor, shouting loudly: "Zhang Wenyuan, Nanyang Huang Hansheng is here!" ”

In the northern camp, Zhao Yun heard the horn of the river weir sound, and led the cavalry to rush to Huang Zhong's aid, handing over the headquarters to his subordinates.

In an instant, the heavy cavalry led by Huang Zhong crashed into the Cao army's infantry from the flank, rushed to kill the unprepared Cao army's cavalry, and shouted to invite Zhang Liao.

In such a scene, how could Zhang Liao not know Huo Jun's abacus and secretly scold Huo Jun for his cunning. With a loud shout, the short and sharp lance poked to his side, and the Southern Army armor soldier covered his face and fell, wailing in his mouth.

Zhang Liao watched the surrounding situation and saw that Zhao Yun was about to kill from behind, and Li Dian led his troops to fight with Huang Zhong. Looking at Huo Jun, who had only more than 100 steps left, Zhang Liao was ruthless in his heart, and decided to fight hard, shouting left and right to follow him.

At this time, Huo Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Liao leading several horsemen out of the army formation from the flank, as if he wanted to get out and leave. After all, in the face of Zhang Liao's 10,000-strong enemy's charge, it is impossible not to feel nervous.

Spit out turbid breath, Huo Jun let go of the hilt of his sword, and sweat was already overflowing from his palms.

However, not long after Huo Jun relaxed, Zhang Liao led several horses from the direction of retreat and suddenly turned around and sprinted. Fortunately, the slope of the river weir slowed down Zhang Liao's charging horse speed and gave Huo Jun time to react.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was menacing, the attendant persuaded: "Zhang Liaobing refers to Daxu, please transfer the governor." ”

Huo Jun sat on the Hu chair with an indifferent expression, and said, "Although Zhang Liao is brave, he will also die here. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to bypass the heavy troops in front and cut through the military formation from the flanks.

Galloping, about to collide with the military formation, Zhang Liao pulled the reins, the front hooves of the war horse were raised, and half of his body was volleyed. The long lance in Zhang Liao's hand poked down, penetrating his chest in the frightened gaze of the armorer.

"Please transfer the governor!"

Huo Jun whipped the attendant with a horsewhip, scolded him sharply, and said, "Zhang Liao, the dead are too!" ”

"Huo Hu, Huo Xiong prepare for war!"

"Fetch me with a lance!"

"No!"

Huo Jun looked around the battlefield, but saw that Zhang Liao was already stained with blood, with more than ten arrows inserted in his armor, several wounds in his body, and a hideous face, just like Tai Sui in the world.

However, Zhang Liao was brave and brave, but how could he have such martial arts as he was from the horse, and he suffered heavy casualties. After ramming into the military formation, the enemy's horseback speed was lost, and he fought hand-to-hand with the armor.

"Where is Huo Zhongmiao?"

Zhang Liao rushed to kill and shouted, and the left and right armor soldiers saw this and stabbed from the left and right, and one person stabbed into the abdomen of the war horse with a spear, and blood gushed out; The other person was smashed to death by Zhang Liao.

"Huo Zhongmiao is here!"

Huo Jun sat on the top of the slope, looked down at Zhang Liao, who was killing from the oblique direction, and responded in a loud voice.

In the midst of the chaos, Zhang Liao heard Huo Jun's response and looked for prestige, only to see Huo Jun sitting on the chair in armor, with only a few five guards on the left and right.

"Kill Huo Jun!"

Laughing, Zhang Liao rode his horse and shouted, and the two of them followed closely behind, only ten steps away from Huo Jun.

"Shoot!"

Huo Xiong raised his hand and shouted, the five people picked up the heavy crossbow, pulled the crossbow machine, and the five crossbow arrows broke through the air and shot at Zhang Liao and his followers.

"Ahh

Under the heavy crossbow, two riders were killed by arrows on the spot.

Zhang Liao used his lance to pull away the arrow, but his left arm was hit hard. The left arm, which was already in a faint pain, was shot by a heavy crossbow again, and the old pain and new wound flared up together, and the pain became more and more painful.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Jun hurried out, holding a lance in his hand, and poked at Zhang Liao on horseback.

There is one more chapter in the evening
