Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 191

Suddenly there was a gust of wind in front of him, and Zhang Liao raised his sword to slash in the air with endless evil spirit. Chen Wu saw that the opponent's sword was accurate, his pupils shrank sharply, and he instinctively raised his sword to block.

Clang, the weapons intersected to make a piercing and crisp sound.

Chen Wu's arm went numb, and he deeply felt Zhang Liao's strength.

Seeing that Zhang Liao failed to succeed in the attack, he didn't make unnecessary moves such as slapping his mouth, nor did he hesitate to stop, and immediately turned around and reined in his horse before charging.

It was the first time Chen Wu encountered such a fierce fighter, he raised his sword and clamped his legs into the horse's belly to meet him.

The two fought in a three-horse relationship, Zhang Liao relied on his superiority in swordsmanship and the opponent was unclothed, Chen Wu was defeated and was beheaded.

Seeing that the main general was killed, the Lujiang soldiers who were in charge of resisting quickly spread around and hindered the friendly troops who came to support.

The Jiangdong camp hadn't been built yet, and the soldiers and horses of the battalions were at a loss by the sudden attack, until the flag of Sun Quan's coach collapsed, and the screaming soldiers in the camp were all shocked.

"Ziming, Zhang Liao is crazy, he will attack here sooner or later, what can he do?" Sun Quan asked anxiously.

Lu Meng quickly comforted him: "Zhang Liao doesn't have many troops, but we are fighting on our own without anyone to command and dispatch. My lord can choose a high place to command the army to encircle and attack, and we will be able to completely wipe out the invading enemy."

"Just do what Ziming said." Sun Quan was also panicking at this moment.

Lü Meng, Jiang Qin and others escorted Sun Quan to a small hill, where more than a thousand tiger warriors with long halberds formed a circle to prevent Zhang Liao's army from charging up the hill.

Sun Quan's change attracted Cao Jun's attention, and Zhang Liao led a group of dead men to chase to the foot of the mountain. At this time, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin's trilogy on the hill, and thousands of tiger soldiers under the car had completed their defense.

The opponent was condescending and had set up a defensive formation. Zhang Liao did not rush up the mountain rashly. He directed the soldiers to shout upwards.

"Sun Quan, come down and have a showdown."

"Jiangdong rats, fear the head and the tail."

"Sun Quan is as timid as a chicken, only worthy of catching insects and eating vegetables."

"Being a child is like Sun Zhongmou, and I beat Zhongmou like a son."

……

800 people cursed in unison, but there was silence on the hill. Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and other generals did not dare to look at Sun Quan's face. They knew that Boss Sun's face might be very dark.

No matter how harsh Zhang Liao's scolding was, the number of people on the mountain and the advantage of the location did not dare to fight. The panicked soldiers in the rest of the camps below the mountain were gradually assembled by their own generals, and they were slowly gathering in Zhang Liao's direction.

Sun Quan handed the order flag to Lu Meng with a dark face: "Ziming, you dispatch the troops on your behalf. I want Zhang Liao and these hundreds of people to come and go."

"Wei." Lu Meng cupped his fists and accepted the order.

The so-called private army system means that the major generals have hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of tribes. In order to prevent soldiers from fleeing, they centrally manage their families to form military households or military households.

The household registration system of military households and civilians is in parallel. The men in military households are soldiers for life, and the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brothers end up with younger brothers. They cannot retire when they are old and turn to logistics and transportation work. They cannot change their household registration for life. Attributes.

In addition, military households were not allowed to intermarry with civilians. If a soldier fled due to the war, the family members would be severely punished.

When the leader of the military household dies and there is no successor, the original trilogy will be transferred to others. Sun Quan often rewards the unowned trilogy to the generals who have meritorious service.

After Sun Quan took charge of the army, he won fewer victories and lost more, and his prestige in the army was far inferior to Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, and even the governor Lu Su, so Lu Meng was slow to respond to waving the command flag.

Although the army at the foot of the mountain responded slowly, they were still slowly approaching Cao Jun. Zhang Liao saw that he had no hope of catching Sun Quan, and his goal of cutting off the handsome flag had been achieved, so he turned back to his horse and wanted to break out of the encirclement and return to Hefei.

When Zhang Liao broke through the siege, he was attacked by Song Qian and Xu Sheng, but the [-] Cao soldiers were fierce and fearless. They screamed and killed the Jiangdong soldiers retreating steadily.

Xu Sheng failed to attack Zhang Liao, but was injured by the opponent on his mount. The horse overturned Xu Sheng to the ground. When he fell, his arms were dislocated, and finally he was rescued by several of his followers risking their lives.

Song Qian and Xu Sheng failed to attack, and were defeated by Zhang Liao in a blink of an eye. Lu Meng couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it on the mountain, and the Jiangdong soldiers collapsed like wind blowing wheat waves.

The mood of fleeing quickly spread, slowing down the encirclement of Zhang Liao. At this time, General Pan Zhang beheaded several deserters to stand up, and gradually stabilized the morale that was about to fall to the bottom. In addition, He Qi, Han Dang, etc. The generals entered the arena one after another, and finally surrounded Zhang Liao and the 800 people.

Lu Meng was delighted to see it from the mountain: "My lord, Zhang Liao has been besieged, and it is difficult for him to fly away today even with wings."

Sun Quan nodded, "Zhang Wenyuan was originally a fierce general under Lu Bu. He ordered the generals under the mountain not to shoot cold arrows. I will reward Zhang Liao alive. If this person can be used by Jiangdong, he can also be used against Gao Shun of Owl (Lantian) in the future. .”

Lu Meng was startled when he heard this, and thought that the lord is going to surrender Zhang Liao?Isn't this idiot's dream?

Chapter 411 Famous with Hundred Thousand

"The lord has an order to capture Zhang Wenyuan alive and not to make cold shots."

"The lord has an order to capture Zhang Wenyuan alive and not to make cold shots."

"The lord has an order to capture Zhang Wenyuan alive and not to make cold shots."

……

The long voice came from far to near, and the Jiangdong soldiers who were besieging at the foot of the mountain were all stunned. Their individual ability was not as good as that of Cao Jun, and the prohibition of firing cold arrows was simply to increase the difficulty.

Zhang Liao's death squad had no worries, but 800 people were cut off by the Jiangdong Army during the breakout process. The opponent planned to use gang fight tactics to cut Cao Jun exhausted.

Seeing that the encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, Zhang Liao hurriedly commanded his troops to rush to the left and right first, and then he swung his sword and sprinted straight forward.

Although Cao Bing was besieged, their morale was high. They fought more and more bravely than Jiangdong soldiers, especially Zhang Liao was not tired after fighting for so long.

Sun Quan was extremely disappointed watching on the top of the mountain. He punched his right fist on the palm of his left hand and said with great regret, "What's going on? Can't this be stopped?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Liao is back again." Lu Meng pointed to the foot of the mountain to remind.

Sun Quan watched carefully with his eyes wide open, and found that Zhang Liao really rushed into the encirclement again. He wondered if this guy might have some brain problems, right?Create a chance to survive without running?

It turned out that Zhang Liao and dozens of cavalry had already broken out of the encirclement, but most of the eight hundred death squads were still surrounded. At this time, a tragic cry came from the formation:

"General Zhang, where are you?"

"Is General Zhang going to abandon us?"

"General Zhang took us home."

……

Zhang Liao was very sad when he heard this, he turned his heart on his horse and turned around, pointing at the Jiangdong soldiers with the tip of his knife and shouting: "It's very rare to meet an army as weak as a flock of sheep, you guys and I will fight again, everyone come out together Let's go back together."

The dead soldiers behind him heard it extremely heroic. They surrounded Zhang Liao and charged into the enemy's formation again.

When the eight hundred dead soldiers reunited again, their combat effectiveness was even stronger than before, rushing around like a lion fighting a rabbit.

The beasts under siege will burst out with stronger power, and if they are not careful, they will be easily fatally injured. These Jiangdong private soldiers dare not step forward.

10 people were chased and killed by Zhang Liao's [-] Cao Jun. On the way to the defeated army, they were crushed and killed by horses and horses.

Seeing that the general situation was over, everyone on the mountain retreated with the defeated army under the escort of the tiger warriors under the chariot, and finally retreated to a position fifty miles away from the city.

Sun Quan achieved a reputation of [-]. Although he was severely humiliated by Zhang Liao, he figured out one thing. This kind of large-scale war is all private soldiers, which is too difficult to control. He wants to form his own army when he goes back this time, just to make him feel at ease. The car under the car is like a tiger, completely under his control.

Before the Jiangdong navy besieged Cao Cao in Chaohu Lake, Sun Quan saw Xu Chu's tiger guards' terror on the isolated island, so after returning to Jiangdong, he imitated the tiger guards and formed a chariot tiger warrior. If they hadn't fought hard this time, he might have been killed by Zhang Liao. captured.

The battle lasted from dawn to noon, and the soldiers in Jiangdongjing were exhausted. Zhang Liao then led his army back to the city to rest. Li Dian, Le Jin and other Hefei guards convinced Zhang Liao.

At the celebration banquet, Le Jin took the initiative to toast his congratulations: "General Zhang's battle is enough to leave a mark in history. The victory in the first battle has greatly boosted the morale of the army in the city. Everyone is very confident in defending the city. Please drink this cup."

Zhang Liao raised his glass in return: "This battle depends entirely on the strength of the soldiers, and Zhang Liao dare not take credit for it alone."

"I have sent someone to Hanzhong to deliver the letter. The [-] soldiers today all have credit for it. General Zhang doesn't have to worry." Le Jin comforted.

Zhang Liao nodded in affirmation: "The fallen soldiers need to allocate more gold and silver rewards, and it is best to arrange it in the next few days. In addition, after this battle, Sun Quan should know that Hefei is hard to bully, and his mob can hardly do anything in a short time."

Li Dian added: "As long as the soldiers in the city are united, even if General Zhang is not in danger today, it will not be so easy for Sun Quan to take Hefei."

During the tenure of Liu Fu, the former governor of Yangzhou, the city wall of Hefei was built high and strong, and all kinds of wooden and stone defensive equipment were very sufficient. It would be difficult for Sun Quan to attack even with 10 people.

"Don't be careless, the sentry will be handed over to General Li." Zhang Liao ordered.

"Wei." Li Dian stood up and cupped his fists.

Le Jin was very surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. Zhang Liao's charisma actually convinced his enemies. When he thought of today's battle, he felt extremely dangerous, and thought that Zhang Liao should be treated like this.

Jiangdong's soldiers and horses were unfavorable, and Sun Quan set up camp after being defeated for a while, and ordered each department to count the number of people, and got two news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that only a few thousand soldiers were lost in this battle. The bad news is that the morale of the battalions fell to the bottom.

The corpses of the fallen soldiers were neatly arranged outside the camp, including the corpse of the general Chen Wu. The soldiers of each battalion put on plain clothes and cried all day long. Sun Quan went to worship several times and sighed endlessly.

Lu Meng approached Sun Quan to persuade him: "My lord, Cao Cao's main force is now in Hanzhong. Even if we know that Hefei is in danger, we can't save it. We must seize the opportunity to attack the city quickly, otherwise the chance of fighting will be fleeting."

Sun Quan smiled wryly: "How could I not know that soldiers are precious and fast? However, our army was cut off by Zhang Liao a few days ago, and the morale of each battalion has fallen into the abyss. It is really powerless to organize an attack..."

"It is an honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield and to be shrouded in horse leather. If the lord does not burn the body on the spot, he must return it to Jianye as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you stay for one more day, you will be sad for one more day. You can also use this to boost morale." Lu Meng Suggest.

"How to boost?" Sun Quan asked curiously, looked at Lu Meng's eyes and immediately had an epiphany, so he nodded quickly to express his understanding.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Quan called all the battalions to come to the morgue.

After autumn, the weather is cool, so the dead body does not emit a pungent smell.

Sun Quan climbed up on the high platform and looked around the crowd, very solemnly sensational: "Lying on the ground, there are my beloved generals, as well as your comrades, relatives, and brothers. The so-called revenge and revenge, the blood debt Hefei owes you Are you going to take revenge?"

"To take revenge..."

"Kill Zhang Liao..."

……

Lu Meng's people took the lead in shouting in coordination with the rear, and then the tragic voices continued one after another.

At this time, Sun Quan also forgot his love for Zhang Liao, and became the object of incomparable hatred, and the notoriety on his back could not be washed away.

Sun Quan stretched out his hand to stop Yin Lang, and continued: "Huang Zu attacked and killed my father, so I not only killed Huang Zu, but also buried him with the people of Jiangxia. When we take Hefei, we will not leave anyone behind.

Those Jiangdong soldiers who died in the war, some people advised me to burn them on the spot, but where will you go to pay homage? "

When Sun Quan paused, Lu Mengxin said that the lord has a good eloquence, so he almost pulled me out as a model for taking the blame?

"They are all Jiangdong men, and they should be buried in their homeland, so I am going to send them back to Jianye for burial.

After the war, it is also convenient for you to pay tribute to your relatives and friends, so that everyone will have no worries, and you will work together to gnaw down the tough bone of Hefei. "Sun Quan's tone was furious.

Chapter 412 Le Jin: I can do it too

Sun Quan's impassioned speech really boosted the morale of the battalions and achieved the effect suggested by Lu Meng.

At the end of the speech, Sun Quan appointed Xu Sheng, who was injured in his arm, to lead the way and transport the remains of the fallen soldiers back to Jianye for burial. Feeling that the morale of the battalions was gradually recovering, he assembled the army and continued to advance to Hefei.

The short-term incentives were only a wave of energy. All the battalions were afraid of losing their own units. After going into battle, they all worked without effort. After trying to siege the city twice, the Jiangdong camp fell into a standstill again.

Although Sun Quan was weak militarily, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Jiangdong soldiers had a passive attitude in combat. The battle of [-] against [-] was really humiliating, and the effect of simply boosting morale was obviously not great.

The soldiers didn't work hard, and Zhang Liao raided and robbed the camp, and the siege battle was even worse, Sun Quan sat on the wax directly.

At this time, Sun Quan was facing a dilemma, because he returned to Jianye in such a desperate manner, people in the world would not scold Chen Wu who died in the battle, Xu Sheng who was injured, and Lu Meng who gave him advice...

What's wrong with these generals?Isn't it the incompetence of the commander in chief?In the end, Sun Quan had to bear all this.

If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.

Sun Quan felt that this hat was too heavy, and if he had no suitable reason to withdraw his troops, he would spend it where he was.

In late August of the 20th year of Jian'an, more than ten days after Jiangdong attacked Hefei, his confidant Lu Meng broke into the big tent worriedly. At this time, Sun Quan was daydreaming on Hu's bed.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Sun Quan got up in a hurry. He shouted in panic, "Is Zhang Liao coming again? Get me the cloak quickly..."

"My lord, it's me." Lu Meng clasped his fists and said.

Sun Quan shook his head to force himself to wake up, and when he found out that it was Lu Meng, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Ziming, you scared me, why are you so flustered?"

Lu Meng scratched his head and was speechless. Although he was a little anxious, it seemed that you were the one who panicked?

"My lord, there are many soldiers in the camp who are sick. It has spread to more than 300 people in two days. If it is not controlled, it will be dangerous..." Lu Meng looked serious.

When Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao in Wulin, his biggest helper was this terrifying epidemic that could spread.

"Why did you get infected?"

Although Sun Quan was surprised, he felt a little relaxed in his heart. The reason he had been looking for to withdraw from the army was that it was very appropriate to withdraw from the epidemic. It seemed that God sent them on their own initiative.

Lu Meng shook his head, "It's hard to say the cause of the epidemic, maybe it's because the temperature has gradually dropped, maybe it's because the corpse has been buried for too long..."

"Is Ziming telling me to retreat?" Sun Quan wanted to catch him.

"This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. If we don't return to Jiangdong as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will be the same as Chibi Cao Cao back then..." Lu Meng answered with a frown.

Sun Quan nodded, "Since God's will is clear, we can't resist. Ziming, you go to each battalion to send an order that we withdraw our troops and return to Jiangdong tomorrow. You must emphasize that it is a warning from heaven."

"Wei." Lu Meng clasped his fists in reply, and hurriedly walked out of the main tent.

Because of the convenience and command of the siege, the Jiangdong camp is not far from Hefei City, and both sides are in a state of waiting and watching with the naked eye.

After Sun Quan gave the order to retreat, each general marched on his own with his own trilogy, and did not assemble on board until they arrived at Shishui.

The Jiangdong people retreated so swaggeringly, they didn't pay attention to the [-] defenders of Hefei at all, because they never thought that they would lose if they were prepared.
