Xu Yu stopped talking.

Xu You knew why Yan Liang was so eager to lead the troops out of the camp - the siege had been nearly half a year, but Pucheng had not yet been captured, Yuan Shao would not transfer his main force for such a city, he was not even impatient to sit under the city to command, he just wanted to listen to the good news in Yecheng, two hundred miles away.

Therefore, all the pressure came to Yan Liang.

In the matter of besieging a city, the credit is fixed - either the city is taken, and there is merit; Either you don't take the city, then you can only continue to consume. Since Yan Liang couldn't exchange Pucheng for a reward, he always had to take some military merits to deal with the lord.

Although he is a rough man, he is not stupid, Yan Liang has been anxious for a long time for this matter, and the poor messenger is also hitting the anger in his heart, so he was beheaded.

…… It's not okay to lie about military exploits, only the eldest prince can do this job, and if others do it, the lord won't be so confused.

Therefore, the news that Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers crossed the river was almost like hearing fairy music for Yan Liang, and he must hurry up to include this battle exploits.

Some people were knocking on the Jiaodou hard, some people were shouting loudly, and the soldiers were quickly assembled, the front army went first, and the Chinese army followed, not even carrying baggage, and only brought three days of dry food and followed the commander out of the camp.

But the soldiers were not panicked at all, and each of them had the same excitement in their eyes.

"Mr. ......"

Xu You didn't seem to hear the uneasy voice of his entourage, and he stood at the door of the tent, watching this scene gloomily.

There were waves of anger churning in the chest of this thin and withered strategist, but he knew Yan Liang's temperament, and it was useless for him to say anything.

A grass insect quietly jumped out of the long grass and landed on the armor.

It flapped its wings, and just as it was about to continue its climb, it suddenly felt an unusual danger coming.

The green, slender grass insect spread its wings and flew with all its might.

Lu Hangyu's gaze did not pass over it, she did not even notice that such a small thing had ever come, she was engrossed in watching the field beneath the earthen embankment.

This year, the north bank of the Yellow River seems to be a bit dry, so the wheat seedlings have grown shorter than before, and in some places even the color of the land can be seen sparsely when the wind passes.

In such a year, there will be a war, and the peasants will definitely scold, what is this for?

Zhang Miao interrupted her musings.

"How many people do you think will come?"

"I don't know." She told the truth.

Big Zhang Gong looks at Xiao Zhang Gong, and Xiao Zhang Gong looks at her.

"If he were a cautious man, he would have sent a troop of cavalry, not many, to drive our lures back to the barracks and probe," she said, "but the two Zhang Gongs have not yet made a good use of their reputations, and he may underestimate the enemy." ”

The two Zhang Gong were already very accustomed to the speaking style of this military adviser, and they didn't take it as well as listen to it, so they continued to ask:

"Will Yan Liang come here in person?"

She thought for a moment, "Then he has to despise you quite a bit......

…… Although they were used to it, the faces of the two Zhang Gong were still green, like grass insects flying past.

But as if to verify her words, a cavalryman ran back and reported in a loud voice:

"General! There are thousands of Jizhou troops, and they are coming here! On the flag, Lang will face the word! ”

"Wow!" Lu Hangyu exclaimed, "He really ran out!" Meng Zhuogong! Your letter has done a great job! ”

Zhang Miao seemed to want to laugh wittily, but he worked hard for a long time, only trying to make a strange face that wanted to laugh and not cry.

The younger brother on the side didn't pay attention to it at all.

The thirty-year-old former Guangling Taishou looked intently at the Jizhou soldiers who were coming here from far and near for a while, and suddenly spoke:

"It's a pity that such an arrogant soldier can only be used once."

The female general beside him turned her head to look at him and suddenly smiled.

Because after this battle, no one will despise this army again.

Chapter 355

Of course, the lure soldiers sent out by Zhang Miao are not elite, to be precise, these soldiers are the part of the daily drill that likes to be lazy and slippery.

They had never performed such a delicate task, so when they saw Yan Liang's cover, the soldiers forgot to line up, forgot to beat the drums, and even forgot to take out their weapons.

The soldiers threw away their flags, abandoned their baggage, and began to run wildly in the direction they had come.

- This is not even a "collapse at the touch of a button", but a real "flight from the wind".

But Yan Liang was not surprised at all when he saw this scene, and he even laughed out loud.

"That's the guts of those two lost dogs!" He smiled, "This must be their front army, keep chasing!" ”

He took 3,000 soldiers out of the camp, and there were personal guards among them, although the number of such an elite was not much, but it was enough to give him the courage to take the heads of the Zhang brothers lightly, and the scene he saw in front of him deepened his confidence.

There is indeed such an army in the world.

Yan Liang followed Yuan Shao, when he fought in Hebei, he fought countless such armies, some of them were Yellow Turban Yu Kou, and some were local Haoqiang, Lingchang, and Taishou troops, their equipment was uneven, some could only fight with wooden sticks, and some even controlled the local iron officials, so the armor was bright and the swords were sharp.

But these powerful and guarded soldiers and horses will always collapse at the touch of a button in front of the lord - because they don't know how to fight! The Han Dynasty has been stable for nearly two hundred years, and those county guards may know what government affairs are and what documents are about, but how do they know how to fight?!

They all became Yan Liang's achievements, supporting him to come up step by step, surpassing the generals of Hebei, and becoming one of the few generals around the lord.

So he pursued it without question!

With the impact of the high-speed gallop of his warhorse, his horse easily pierced the soldier in front of him with his back to him.

The blood burst out, staining the fields on both sides of the dirt road, stirring in the hearts of the Jizhou soldiers.

It's a free-for-all feat!

There is no hesitation, there is no hesitation, and people are angry, such as revenge.

In this way, they pursued the soldiers all the way, and easily rushed to the wasteland in front of the earthen embankment, and became a huge whirlpool with the soldiers they were chasing, and soon turned into a tornado-like monster and crushed them.

Behind Yan Liang stood the bright and dazzling flags and umbrella covers, although they were not as vocal as the golden drums, but they became the most striking scenery on the edge of this storm.

"The morale of the other army is high," she looked at for a moment, "and it's all because of this boss." ”

Because of the commander's bright reputation of bravely crowning the three armies, it has turned into a banner that the soldiers can trust in their hearts.

When the army arrived, the commander was able to rush to the opposite army formation in a hurry, how could this not give the soldiers great confidence and encouragement! Their generals are ahead! At the forefront!

"How brave you are!" Zhang Miao sighed with emotion, "He is worthy of being a world-famous general!" ”

She pouted.

It's nothing! She can do this kind of thing by rushing into the enemy army in one go! If you have the ability to get in, you have to have the ability to come out!

Lu Xuanyu's gaze looked at the other uniformed general beside him, "Meng Gaogong? ”

The general, who had never really been on the battlefield, took a deep breath.

The battlefield is clear and at the same time chaotic.

Before the front line was broken, the soldiers stood in line according to the appearance of the exercise.

When the soldiers in the first row pulled down their hanging swords, the soldiers in the second row raised their spears, and the Goto player had a shield in one hand and a long knife in the other, and the knife was over his head in a starting pose, while the halberdiers flanked to protect the Chinese army from being defeated by the cavalry.

He learned it many times, and the soldiers practiced it many times.

Therefore, when the people of Jizhou rushed over, Zhang Chao thought that all this should be done step by step like a drill.

…… He was waiting for the battle, but Yan Liang was so light on the enemy.

…… His soldiers waited for work, but the people of Jizhou ran more than ten miles.

…… This battle should be easy.

But when Yan Liang's soldiers rushed over, Zhang Chao realized that drills and actual combat are never the same thing.

When the Jizhou people approached in formation, a rain of arrows poured down, but most of them were blocked by the shields above their heads.

Some were wounded, even dead, and so they stayed put, but more soldiers continued to move forward, and as they moved forward, new soldiers kept trotting up from behind, blocking the line.

So when they rushed in front of this army, not only was their front intact, but their will to fight was not shaken by the first two rounds of attacks!

Zhang Chao's soldiers and horses drilled the defensive formation very well, everyone was very close, and the shield was in front, so that there was no gap on the opposite side to attack, so a Jizhou veteran squatted down, let his comrades step on his shoulders, jumped high, and jumped into the enemy camp like flying!

He was fighting with a mortal heart! But before he was poked into a sieve by the panicked enemy troops, the defense line was inevitably torn open by him!

What kind of warrior can withstand an attack from behind?!

But there was more than one such Jizhou soldier, and their roar was like a flood rushing out of the valley, rushing up to the earthen embankment, shaking the face of the once confident commander above!

- This is the real selection! A real first to go! A real dead man!

But they weren't even fighting on their backs, they weren't bursting out of desperation, they were just following their boss in a small, regular, reward-worthy battle!

"Hebei people, so majestic!" Zhang Miao muttered to himself, "I didn't know it today!" ”

Lu Hangyu glanced at the big Zhang Gong, and then looked at his younger brother.

In the face of such soldiers and horses, it is necessary to respond with the most resolute counterattack in order to make them feel pressure and cool down their heads!

Zhang Chao had already descended the earthen embankment and walked into his Chinese army.

He drew his ring-headed sword and motioned for his soldiers to hand him the shield.

"How can you get into danger in person?!" Someone was loudly persuading him, "It's better to go back to the embankment!" ”

"The front is going to collapse!" Zhang Chao shouted, "If I don't step forward, the army's spirit will be scattered!" ”

"Then you shouldn't make your relatives come too!" A noisy and chaotic voice rang in his ears.

"Ask for General Xiao Lu!"

"Since she is brave enough to win the three armies, she should be allowed to charge into battle!"

"She knows that the envoy is not good at military affairs! The slightest carelessness is a catastrophe! Why didn't she come—"

These voices were sincere, hoarse, and so anxious that they were about to shout a mouthful of blood in their throats, but they pierced Zhang Chao's heart like a sharp blade.

These people are his relatives, and their ancestors have served his family for generations, growing up with him, and their friendship is incomparable.

They usually say something unpleasant in his ear, such as seeing Lu Lian coming to the camp to rectify military discipline and train soldiers and horses, they have a lot of doubts, and for a while they say that she is a woman and should not be so public; At one time, he said that she was a guest here, and she shouldn't be so arrogant.

Although Zhang Chao severely stopped them several times, he knew very well that these men who had never fought any battles like him would always have a little painless praise and disparagement of Lu Lian.

But at the critical juncture, these praises and criticisms were finally ruthlessly crushed by the reality in front of them and turned into a cry of pleading.
