Although Gong Du and Liu Pi are the leaders of this Yellow Turban Army. But in fact they each have their own team. Liu Pi didn't dare to kill Gong Du. It's because he still can't command Gong Du's subordinates. Also need to control Gong Du as a hostage. Because the command can't move the people of Gong Du. So now it is Liu Pi's direct line that is attacking this house. Come down day and night. Thousands of people were killed and injured. Liu Pi's strength was greatly reduced. He is also very distressed. I heard that Jian Yong had a clever plan. Liu Pi quickly said, "Lord Jane, please teach me."
Jian Yong hehe laughed and said, "General Liu pity and cherish the jade. I can't bear the fire. Then let's change to the smoke. Then we will put crossbowmen around. They will not be able to escape with their wings."
Liu Pi was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes. Come here. Quickly carry the firewood."
Jian Yong stretched out his hand. He smiled and said, "General Liu, don’t need to worry. If it’s too late today. The smoke will come together. I fear that the enemy will take the opportunity to flee. I should wait until dawn before doing anything. The general will go back to the mansion and sleep peacefully. I will come to see the scene tomorrow morning. Play. I don’t know what the general wants."
Liu Pi grabbed Jian Yong's hand. He laughed loudly and said: "Master Jane is really resourceful. Liu followed the adult's words. Let's go. Let's go back and have a few glasses."
Although Jian Yong doesn't like drinking. But it just smiled faintly. Following Liu Pi, he walked towards the Prefect's Mansion. Jian Yong is very clear. Liu Pi, who is naturally cautious, hasn't fully trusted him yet. This is to control him by his side. But Jian Yong was not too worried. The situation is better now than when he was tied up in the cell yesterday. And just wait until Liu Bei's army arrives. Liu Pi couldn't afford to turn a big wave.
Inside the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion in Shouchun City. Gao Shun cried out: "Come here. Take Guan Yu down. Take it into custody for the time being. Waiting for the Lord's reply."
Guan Yu said in shock: "The end will fight desperately all the way. Repelled Ji Ling. Captured Shouchun. What a crime. At the end, he will not accept it."
Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "General Guan's loyalty and courage. Gao is deeply admired. But the military discipline is like a mountain. No one can violate it. The lord has issued strict orders. The three armies are not allowed to rush forward. You are the vanguard of the front. The lives of all soldiers are tied to you. If you miss something, where are the soldiers going."
Guan Yu said proudly with a full face: "For the general, you should take the lead. Guan rushes to the front. It is for the favor of the master. Guan has no fault."
Gao Shun didn't listen to his argument. Continued: "In addition. Liu You and Zhang Ying have already left the city to welcome them. Why did you kill them in front of the battle. Killing is a serious crime. Gao did not intend to embarrass the general. In fact, he interfered with the military law because of this. Gao I dare not tolerate it. I have to temporarily wrong General Guan."
original. Yesterday Liu Yao opened the gate. At the same time, Guan Yu came to the head. Guan Yu didn't even think it would be a blow to Liu Yao. Liu Yao is only his reinforcement. Where to watch out. Jinger became a ghost under the sword. Zhang Ying wanted to return to the city in a panic. But Guan Yu caught up from behind. Flick into two paragraphs. Wait until Shouchun City is completely controlled. Guan Yu just figured it out. Liu You neither came out to fight him. Nor is it surrendering to him. It's just that he mistakenly used him as a reinforcement.
Speaking of Liu You's death. Guan Yu was somewhat at a loss. I had no choice but to shook his head. Stop talking. Let the soldiers detain themselves.
After the confrontation with Guan Yu. Ji Ling had long been discouraged. Just stick to it. The two armies stalemate for more than a day. Ji Ling received an order from Yuan Shuqian to take Shouchun City within ten days.
Ji Ling gathered the generals. With a wry smile, "Liu Xin's army of several groups attacked together. Lujiang was in danger. His Majesty did not tell me to wait for help. He still urged the troops. But I don't know why."
Chen Lan arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty has changed his temperament. He has his life. Let's follow it. Why should we be true to him. It's just that the Han army is strong. Now we continue to advance. It is no different from seeking a dead end. Stick to it."
Lei Bo got up and said, "It's good to stick to it. But if there is a loss in Lujiang. You and I will die without a place to be buried. According to Lei's opinion, it is better to withdraw the troops for the time being."
Ji Ling said: "Withdraw the troops rashly. Your Majesty will convict. Now even the news of the defeat. Ji is afraid to report to Lujiang. How dare to withdraw the troops without authorization. Even if the troops are withdrawn. Liu Xin will inevitably pursue him from behind. You and me. It’s bound to lose the soldiers and lose the generals. The plan is for the present. Only a fight to the death can be done. Or a way out can be made."
The sky is getting brighter. Gao Shun is about to enter the army. Suddenly heard that Yuan Shu's army had killed and rushed down the city. Unconsciously very surprised. Get out of town immediately. The two armies set their positions outside the city. Ji Ling should go out first. Until the battle before the battle. It was a rain of arrows to greet him. The Han army has no generals.
This is Liu Xin's repeated strict orders not to rush forward. And in the major legions. The best implementation of this article is the Fifth Army. Especially when escorting Mi Zhu's family to retreat. After Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were almost killed by Guan Yu. This military regulation has been strictly enforced. Of course. Guan Yu, who was newly placed in the Fifth Army, still likes to fight alone. However, he has now been detained by Gao Shun's orders. Therefore, no one answered Ji Ling's fight.
Lei Bo and Chen Lan can also be regarded as battle-tested. They commanded the archers to release their arrows. Stop the impact of the Han army. Command the horse forward. Ji Ling, who was embarrassed, came back. but. The armor of the Han army is very sophisticated. The bows and arrows of Yuan Shu's army did little damage to them. The troops still rushed to the front little by little.
Ji Ling was a little surprised by how much this battle fought today. The red-faced and long-bearded guy who had killed him the day before yesterday did not show up. And also fight against the past. The fighting style of the generals is different. As soon as he came up, he swung his army to kill. Such situations are very rare. Although Ji Ling lost the last battle. But he always thought it was because his martial arts lost to the red-faced man. So the guy who saw the red face didn't show up here. He has more people than the other. Ji Ling settled down. A three-pointed two-edged knife waved. With a roar: "The whole army. Kill."
With this order. Lei Bo and Chen Lan each led the army rushing up. Ji Ling also turned over and killed him. The two armies collided in an instant. however. The imaginary chaos scene did not appear. The usual training of the Han army showed its effect. Each team is an independent combat unit. Cooperate skillfully with each other. Clear division of labor. Looking back at Yuan Shu's army. Although the number is dominant. But most of them are farmers who have just come over by force. It's not much better than the yellow turban of the mob. Fight twice. Although Ji Ling is brave. But these men under him will soon be unable to withstand it.
Misfortune never comes singly. On the flank of Ji Ling's army. There was another sound of horseshoes. The earth seemed to tremble for it. It was a cavalry sent by Gao Shun to serve as a roundabout battle. Yuan Shu's army, who was struggling to support, suddenly went into chaos. Ji Ling couldn't restrain the team. Had to turn around and left. Gao Shun could see from a distance behind. This was the order to beat the drum. Has been chasing out more than ten miles. Straight to kill, blood flowed into rivers and corpses spread across the wild.
Gao Shun watched Ji Ling's banner gradually go away. Order Mingjin to retreat. Count the people. The loss is minimal. Liu Xin forbids the leader to rush to the front. It is to give full play to the advantages of our army in terms of equipment, training, and tactical literacy. At the same time, avoid appearing because the Lord will die unexpectedly. And the situation that led to the collapse of the entire army. This is so far. The only war in which there is no leader directly into battle. The effect is unexpectedly good. Gao Shun couldn't help but admire Liu Xin even more.
But said that Ji Ling fled all the way in a hurry. Came to a mountainous area. Seeing the chasing soldiers drifting away. This reined the horse. Gather the remnants. Check it out. More than 20,000 people have been discounted.
Lei Bo said anxiously: "General Ji. You must be overwhelmed by the battle. I'm afraid you will be punished by your majesty again when you go back. It seems that we have to go far away."
Ji Ling furiously said: "You and others are greatly favored by your Majesty. Whenever you encounter setbacks, you want to escape. Don't you be afraid of the ridicule of the heroes of the world."
Chen Lan hurriedly persuaded: "General Ji calmed down. The final thought. Your Majesty does not know that Liu Xin has sent troops into Jiujiang. I only need to report the situation here. Your Majesty will definitely agree to my request to withdraw troops. Let's set up camp against the mountain first. Let's stabilize the military's mind before worrying about it."
Li Feng, who had served as the rear army, also rushed over at this time. Repeatedly persuade. This comforted everyone's hearts. Set up the camp on one side. One side sent people to rush to Yuan Shu.
It was said that Zhang Xi had a day off in Linhu County. Continue to lead troops to the Lujiang River. Along the way. What is strange is that. Hardly encountered any obstacles. Zhang Xi is quite good at using soldiers. Worried that Yuan Shu's ambush will be caught. Could not help slowing down. It was not until dusk that he arrived ten miles southeast of Lujiang City and set up a camp.
Although the Third Army can also be regarded as a veteran force. Set up camp. The arrangement of sentry posts has already been well practiced. But Zhang Chen always felt that the surrounding atmosphere was a little weird. But there is no reason. Have to be cautious. I personally inspected the camp inside and outside the camp. Still not at ease. He also ordered all soldiers and soldiers not to disarm. The horse does not unsaddle its saddle. Stay on top of one another. Even so. Zhang Xi is still not at ease. Dozens of scout teams were sent out. Patrolling around the camp overnight.
The sky is bright. Zhang Yun walked out of the big tent. The soldiers had already greeted him. He folded his hands and said, "General Qi. The scouts sent out last night have all returned."
Because he was worried that Yuan Shu would rob the camp at night. Zhang Xi is also the same as the soldier. Sleeping in armor. Naturally, I did not sleep peacefully this night. but. I heard that several teams of scouts are back. Zhang Yun couldn't help raising his spirits. Repeatedly said: "Quickly. Call them in."
In addition to these teams of scouts patrolling around the camp. There were even a few times that he touched the city of Lujiang. But it is strange. The whole Lujiang city is quiet. There is no trace of the tension that the enemy should have at present.
Zhang Xi felt even more strange. Did Yuan Shu abandon the city when he heard the wind? Zhang Xi thought for a while. No clue. So he ordered the village to rise up. Kill and run under the Lujiang city.
Arrived outside Lujiang City. Guo Jian except for the flying flags on the head of the city. Not a single defender was seen. Zhang Xi was hesitating whether to order the siege. Suddenly there was a sound of gongs and drums. Countless people emerged from the city. A green umbrella was erected in front of the tower. Under the umbrella is a golden helmet and golden armor. Haha laughed and said: "Ignorant little thief. How dare you come to invade my borders. Open your eyes and see. Who is this person."
