In September of the fourth year of Jian'an, the weather began to cool down. Liu Xun took Zhang Fei as the vanguard to lead the lead, and the five thousand infantry of Huwei Camp advanced to Qiyang City.
Qiyang is located on the west bank of Xiangshui River. It is an important town in Lingling County and the only way to Lingling City. If you want to enter Lingling, you must first win Qiyang City. Qiyang is a big city with fertile land and more than 30,000 people. Because of the convenient transportation, the handicraft industry and commerce are also relatively developed. A large part of Lingling County's tax revenue comes from this city. Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, attached great importance to Qiyang. He heard that Liu Xun was going to attack Lingling. He specially dispatched General Xing Daorong, General of Lingling, to defend Qiyang City.
Xing Daorong's name is Xing Mao, whose word is Daorong, and he is known as the first general of Jingnan. He is brave enough to make a big axe, weighing more than 50 kilograms, and he is called "the enemy of ten thousand people." After Xing Daorong arrived in Qiyang, he was dissatisfied with Qiyang's city defenses, so the young and middle-aged who forcibly drove Qiyang to build the city wall day and night, the people would be executed immediately if they didn't follow it. If there is not enough stone, the houses will be demolished, causing the people of Qiyang to complain.
Backward, the city wall was three feet thicker and five feet taller than before, making it stronger than before. However, dozens of lives were sacrificed for this. The four gates of the county seat all have school lieutenants who lead tribes, and the granary also has heavy soldiers. Xing Daorong thinks that Qiyang City is solid and well-arranged, and he is proud of it.
After Zhang Fei led his army to the city, he did not rush to attack the city, and according to Liu Xun's order, he led the soldiers to camp and set up a camp, waiting for the arrival of the main force.
Standing at the head of the city, Xing Daorong saw the banner of the Great Han fluttering in the wind, and there were two generals under the banner of "General Zhang Fei, General Zhang Fei," and "General Wei Yan, General Exterminating the Bandits". His heart was burning with anger.
"The enemy is coming fiercely and arrogantly, how should we use it right?" Xing Daorong asked the dog-headed army officer beside him, but his eyes were sharply staring at the banner of the Han army.
This dog-headed military commander was named Xing Yi. He was originally Xing Daorong's distant cousin. He was usually scheming. Xing Daorong admirably hired him as a military adviser.
"General, the enemy has just arrived and has an unsteady foothold, and there are only 5,000 people. Our army has 20,000 people. If we come out, we will surely kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor." Xing Yi's The tactics were really vicious, with a distorted smile on his thin face.
Xing Daorong laughed loudly when he heard it. The laughter was terrifying and chilling.
"Okay, you beat the drums and horns for me." As he said, Xing Daorong strode down the city.
Xing Daorong was gathering troops on the avenue inside the city gate, but Zhang Fei outside the city didn't know it, and was still concentrating on building the camp.
In half an hour, Xing Daorong's 20,000 troops were assembled.
After the sound of the three-way drum, the gate of Qiyang city opened wide, and with the shout of "Kill, kill, kill...", the enemy's 20,000 army rushed up.
Seeing the enemy rushing over, the Han army quickly put down the ropes, hammers, shovel and other tools in their hands and lined up to meet the enemy.
"Unknown Rats, dare to attack my army." Zhang Fei was angry, his eyes widened, and his angry eyeballs were about to pop out. Zhang Fei saw many scenes like this, and he was not afraid in his heart. The Zhangba Snake Spear greeted him.
Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear, also known as Zhangba Point Steel Spear. For the famous weapon masters, they are all made of iron point steel. The spear is one foot long and the spear point is eight inches long. The blade has double fronts and is shaped like a snake, hence the name. The Zhangba Snake Spear weighs seventy-eight jins. It is difficult for a sturdy man to pick it up with both hands, but Zhang Fei can use it freely with one hand.
I saw that the headed enemy general had a sturdy back, full of beards, and a mighty and tall man. Zhang Fei realized that the enemy general was not easy to deal with.
Xing Daorong's morale was in full swing and slashed towards Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei picked down the enemy army beside him and hurriedly caught Xing Daorong's big axe. This force was really great.
Zhang Fei and Xing Daorong fought for dozens of rounds, but still no winner.
At this time, what Xing Yi, the head of the army, saw in the city was real. He expected that Xing Daorong would not be Zhang Fei's opponent if he continued to fight like this. Xing Yi thought about it, frowning, thinking about it.
Xing Yi called the archer beside him, asked for a feather arrow, and took out a red vial from his arms. Xing Yi opened the lid of the vial and cautiously poured a few drops on the arrow of Yujian.
"Military officer, why pour potion on the arrow?" The soldier beside him was puzzled when he saw this scene.
"In a moment, you will know." Xing Yi showed a grinning smile, his thin face looked very distorted. "Take this arrow and shoot the black-faced man down the city." The dog-headed general commanded.
"Okay, this is a poisoned arrow." The archer beside him tremblingly took the poisoned arrow, for fear of getting poisoned. He finally realized that the military division applied poison.
The archer aimed at Zhang Fei, his hands trembling a little, and with a'swish', he shot the bow and arrow out.
Zhang Fei couldn't dodge, the arrow grazed Zhang Fei's right arm, and the arm was scratched.
"Grandma's, actually attacked Lao Tzu. When I broke the city, I would strip you all alive." Zhang Fei cursed, thinking it was just scratching the skin, it didn't matter much. However, the poison slowly took effect. Zhang Fei felt a bit of fire at the breach, then a pain in his heart, and finally lost consciousness.
Zhang Fei felt that something was wrong and realized that the arrow that was shot at him might be a poisoned arrow. Holding the weapon in his left hand, Zhang Fei shouted while resisting, "The whole army retreats in an orderly manner."
In war, the chief general is the core of the whole army. Once the main general is injured, it will definitely affect the morale of the entire army. Especially in the case of fierce fighting, if the commander makes a mistake, the entire command system of the army will fail, and the entire army may be in danger of being annihilated.
Therefore, after Zhang Fei was injured, he immediately thought of retreating to save his vitality to prevent too much loss.
After receiving the order, the Han army fought and retreated. Although the Han army is well-trained, but there are too many enemies, the general is injured again, and the soldiers are killed and injured more. Seeing the Han army retreat, the enemy rushed up in a swarm. The Huwei camp infantry of the Han army gradually became unable to resist, and the situation was extremely critical.
"The enemy general is arrogant, Zhao Yun is here." At this extremely critical moment, Zhao Yun led five thousand cavalry cavalry to arrive.
Zhao Yun flickered from left to right, and the enemy soldiers could not resist, all of them fell under his gentian silver spear.
The enemy rushed to kill Zhenghuan, and his attention was focused on Zhang Fei's infantry. Suddenly, he was charged and killed by the cavalry. Five thousand Han army cavalry took advantage of the impact, and the enemy soldiers could not dodge, and were trampled by horseshoes, and the cheers turned into screams.
Seeing that a big victory was destroyed by Zhao Yun in this way, Xing Daorong became angry and wanted to rush forward desperately.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Xing, the dog-headed soldier on the city wall, immediately retreated with gold.
Xing Daorong couldn't help but withdrew back into the city with grievances.
"I'm fighting right now, why do you want to win gold and retreat!" Xing Daorong, who had returned to the city, asked the dog-headed army master Xing Yi angrily.
"Our army's intention was to take advantage of the small number of enemy troops to attack the enemy. But now that the enemy has another 5,000 cavalry, our army can't take advantage of it. If we don't retreat, we will suffer. Moreover, the enemy has suffered heavy losses and we are considered a victory ."
Xing Yi, a dog-headed strategist, smiled and looked like a stubborn servant.
"However, our army has also lost a lot of people. However, their leader Zhang Fei has been injured by me. I had heard people say how powerful Zhang Fei was, and only a few moves, I was completely beaten. Looking for teeth. Had Zhao Yun arrived in time, Zhang Fei's head would have been chopped off by me."
Xing Daorong's face was full of pride, and he was proud, thinking that Zhang Fei was chopped off by his big axe.
"The general's axe is an invincible hand that hits the world. I am very impressed." Xing Yi knows that Zhang Fei was harmed by his own poison, but he knows that Xing Daorong is arrogant and likes others to compliment him. So just follow Xing Daorong's words.
The archer on the side saw the funny expressions of Xing Daorong and Xing Yi and couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at? Get out of here as soon as possible." Xing Yi was full of anger, very angry. Why the archer laughed, Xing Yi should know better than anyone else.
Outside the city of Qiyang, after repelling Xing Daorong, Zhao Yun saw Zhang Fei's expression in pain, and quickly helped Zhang Fei get off the horse.
"General, what's wrong?" Zhao Yun asked concerned.
"When I was fighting with Xing Daorong, an arrow was shot from the head of the city. I couldn't dodge, and my right arm was scratched. However, I didn't expect the arrow to be poisonous, which made me painful." The big beads of sweat flowed down, and his expression was painful.
"Let me take a look." Zhao Yun quickly opened the armor on Zhang Fei's right arm and found that the wound had turned black. It must have been poisoned.
"Oh, I hate this kind of villain the most. When I take down the city, I will strip them alive." Zhang Fei wanted to clenched his fist, but found that his right hand was no longer strong.
"Doctor, come and see if this poison can be cured?" Zhao Yun looked flustered, worried about Zhang Fei's condition.
The army doctor came over, looked at the wound, shook his head, and sighed: "I have never seen this kind of poison before. Forgive me if I can't solve it."
Zhao Yun remembered that Zhuge Liang seemed to know the art of medicine, and quickly instructed Liao Hua, the school's lieutenant,: "Hurry up and send General Zhang back to Wuling City, and hand it over to the military division for treatment.
Zhang Fei also yelled that he was okay and wanted to stay. Zhao Yun asked Liao Hua to greet his soldiers, and forced Zhang Fei onto the carriage and hurried to Wuling.
Looking at the carriage going away, Zhao Yun couldn't help but shed tears. After all, Zhang Fei is a brother of life and death on the battlefield. After so many battles together, nothing happened. If you were poisoned to death by the villain's poisoned arrows, it would be really worthless.
"General, what should I do now?" Zhou Cang came over and asked.
Zhao Yun wiped the tears from his face and said: "Notify the whole army that three thousand cavalry will line up to defend the enemy, and the other seven thousand will build a camp."
"promise!"
"The general ordered, three thousand cavalry lined up to defend, and the others continued to build the camp."
"The general ordered, three thousand cavalry lined up to defend, and the others continued to build the camp."
"..."
As the sun sets, half of the sky is dyed red by the sunset. Zhao Yun looked at the red clouds and sighed deeply...
