The Grandmaster Strategist - Chapter 183

[Chapter 14 Asking Who’s Son]

The two armies of Yong and Chu faced off at Guazhoudu, and they did not move. On the third day, Huaixi was in a hurry. Changsun Ji’s Cui Jue’s army attacked Shouchun, Xuzhou Daying Dongshan’s army attacked Zhongli, and Zhongli fell on the fifth day. The county governor Zhu Mou, Commander Chen was captured and unyielding, and all died.

The two armies jointly attacked Shouchun, which is an important town in Huainan. If you want to capture Huainan, you must obtain Shouchun.

At that time, Yun, the eldest son of Lu Can, was instructed to help Shiguan guard Shouchun. Yun was thirteen years old, and he was very brave. The Huaixi army and people heard that Yun was there, and they all said that the generals will not abandon us, but will fight to the death, and the Yong army will not be able to move an inch. Enter.

– “Zizhi Tongjian Yongji III”

Zhongli City finally won, but Dong Shan was not happy at all. For five days, Zhongli City, which had only 3,000 defenders, made him suffer a lot. 30,000 troops attacked the city day and night, and Zhong Li, who was obviously so weak, However, he never gave in. The outer city fell, and he retreated to the inner city. When the inner city fell, they fought inch by inch. This small Zhongli city almost drained the blood of Yong Jun.

Sitting in the lobby of the Zhongli County Governor’s Office, looking at the Zhongli County Governor who was pushed and escorted by his soldiers, Dong Shan took a deep breath and said, “You resist the Dayong Tianjun, your sin is unforgivable, if you are willing to surrender, you will be punished. The general will spare your life for the time being, if you don’t surrender, don’t blame me for using your head to pay homage to the heroic spirits of my soldiers.”

The county magistrate Zhongli was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He laughed loudly: “Zhu is the head of the country’s lord, and he is deeply favored by the country. How can he bow his knees and surrender to the enemy, if he wants to kill him, he will kill him. .”

Dong Shan was furious and said, “Pull him to the front of the door and behead him to fulfill his loyalty.”

Those sergeants pushed the county guard and went to the front of the official yamen. They pushed the county guard to the ground to be executed. At this time, a helmet was scattered, and the embarrassed general was bound by the Yong army and sent here. The county guard will be executed, and the general hissed and asked, “Lord county guard, why do you insist on defending yourselves and refuse to surrender?”

The commander surnamed Zhu said: “I was ordered by the imperial court to guard Zhongli, so how could I abandon the city and flee, and the Yong army’s offensive was fierce, if I had the idea of survival, Zhongli would have already fallen, and if I wanted to retreat, it would be easier said than done, let alone so many. The soldiers have already taken a step forward, how can the county guard keep them waiting for a long time. Although the general is forgiving, but you and I are both servants of Nanchu, how could you not give up your life for the country.” After that, the county guard surnamed Zhu drew his neck and was stabbed.

The general sighed after hearing this and said, “Sir, the governor of the county and a literati have sacrificed their lives for the country, let alone a warrior like Chen?” After he was captured, he originally had the heart to surrender. , Entering the hall, although Dong Shan spoke out to persuade him to surrender, he did not say a word. Dong Shan was impatient and ordered him to be executed. The general said nothing until he died.

One day after Zhongli was repaired, Dong Shan took the Xuzhou army to Shouchun, which was still 20 miles away. Cui Jue from the Nanyang Camp had already sent an envoy to welcome him. This time, the Nanyang Camp was the main force in the attack on Shouchun. However, because the soldiers in the Nanyang camp were not familiar with the geography of Huainan, the court decided that Pei Yun would send a team to support Changsun Ji.

However, Dong Shan and Cui Jue are old acquaintances. Both of them worked under the command of King Qi, and they went their separate ways a few years ago.

The guard who came to greet him was Cui Fang, the nephew of the Cui Jue clan, and an old acquaintance of Dong Shan.

He rode forward, looked Cui Fang up and down for a moment, and laughed loudly: “Good boy, I haven’t seen you for a few years, you are already so old, how is it, how is the battle, how is your uncle’s health?”

The young guard also smiled and said, “Uncle Dong, my uncle is in good health, and the battle is fierce. The Shouchun defenders are almost taking their lives to resist. My uncle is feeling that the strength is insufficient. It’s good if you come.”

Dong Shan was shocked, it seemed that Shouchun was not at ease here, and then he said solemnly: “Dong Shan, the deputy general of the Xuzhou camp, was ordered by General Pei, the Jiedu envoy of Huainan, to follow General Cui’s dispatch.”

Seeing this, the messenger also said solemnly: “Cui Jue, the general of Pingyuan in the Nanyang camp, was ordered by General Changsun to attack Shouchun, and his subordinate Cui Fang was ordered by the general to welcome General Dong.”

After the two finished talking, they looked at each other and smiled. Dong Shan ordered his soldiers to go to camp first, and brought a few personal guards to follow Cui Fang to look for Cui Jue.

In front of Shouchun City, fireworks filled the air. Cui Jue, who was in her thirties, frowned and looked ahead.

He was originally a decent-looking man, but unfortunately his appearance was completely destroyed by a scar on his cheek. When Dong Shance came to the front of the battle, he saw Cui Jue pointing his horse whip at Shouchun City and said, “Let the death camp go to the city. , From there, there must be a general of the enemy army, otherwise the defenders will not be so tenacious.” After the military order was passed, not long after, a battalion of Qingjia sergeants with a chilling air rushed to Shouchun City.

Dong Shan naturally knows that these are sergeants who have violated the military law, or simply prisoners who have been convicted. There are such establishments in the military.

At this time, Cui Jue had already noticed that Dong Shan was coming, and turned around and said with a smile, “Has Zhongli broken through? I’m still devastated here.”

Dong Shan immediately bowed and said, “Brother Cui, you’ve always been good, don’t make fun of me. I attacked for five days with a small Zhongli, but I didn’t even get an important prisoner.”

Cui Jue said strangely: “Why, did the general and the county governor of Zhongli die in battle?”

Dong Shan said ashamedly: “I had captured them all, but it was I who caught fire and killed them all.”

Cui Jue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “This is nothing, General Pei will not blame you for this matter, and will probably cover up for you, but the Nanchu army in Huaixi is really brave and good at fighting, you Let’s take a rest first, and join me in attacking the city tomorrow, and I don’t know if the death camp will be able to inflict heavy damage on the defenders there.” After that, he pointed his whip to Shouchun City, and Dong Shan also looked up.

I saw that the sergeant of the death camp had already climbed to the top of the city with arrows and rolling stones. It seemed that there was no obstacle. Dong Shan frowned and said, “It seems to be easy.”

Cui Jue also said suspiciously: “Strange, I have attacked the city many times these days, and every time it is very difficult from this direction, even if I go to the top of the city, no one can survive. Why is it so easy this time.”

The two of them had an inexplicable feeling when they saw the blue armor of the warriors of the death camp disappear into their mouths, and this time the attack would definitely not be successful.

At this moment, the sound of fighting mixed with screams suddenly came from the head of Shouchun City, and the figure of Nan Chujun appeared in the stamped mouth there.

Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other, Cui Jue said with a wry smile: “I didn’t expect that this time they used a trick to invite you into the urn.”

Dong Shan sighed: “They must also know the power of the death camp, so they simply let them attack and slowly annihilate them. We can’t see the actual battle situation. If we want to decide the next step based on the battle situation there. Offensive, any decision made may be wrong, the generals guarding there must be confident and scheming, but I see that Shuaiqi is not there, he must be an ordinary general, and Shouchun City is really full of talents.”

Cui Jue knew that this time the death camp might have been caught in the net, but after all, the death camp must still be fighting hard, and the victory or defeat was unpredictable, so he still dispatched heavy troops to seize the opportunity to seize the city. , General Pei is like a broken bamboo in Huaidong, but we are struggling step by step in Huaixi.”

Dong Shan comforted him and said: “I can’t blame you and me, the Huaidong army has been corrupted for a day, and General Pei has sent countless scouts to Huaidong to investigate the military situation in the past few years. Going into the Chuzhou camp alone to assassinate the main general of the enemy army.”

While paying attention to the situation at the head of Shouchun City, Cui Jue said with a smile: “I heard that the emperor issued a decree to reprimand General Pei, forbid him to act in danger any more, and he almost took the credit for winning the Chuzhou camp by himself. erased.”

Dong Shan said indifferently: “The general won’t take it to heart, but for the time being, he probably won’t take risks lightly.”

While the two were gossiping, the sound of fighting on the city’s head had vanished. Cui Jue smiled bitterly, knowing that the death camp that he had entrusted to him had been wiped out, so he issued an order to slow down the offensive. The siege failed again.

Above the city head, Lu Yun sat on the ground panting heavily, looking at the corpses of the Yong Jun death camp in the midst of the encirclement, and then looking at the steel knives that had been rolled up in his hands. Cheng He, this fight just now made him turn around from the gate of hell. If the two sergeants fought to their death to block the enemy’s sword for him, I’m afraid he would have fallen to the ground.

Although he is the son of a general, he has both internal and external cultivation, and has divine power in both arms, but compared with these brave sergeants who are not afraid of death, he is still a little less imposing. Thinking of this, not only is he a little scared, but his plan to invite the king into the urn almost turned into a wolf into the room. .

But there is no way to do this, knowing that the enemy is the warriors of the death camp, if they do not encircle them and annihilate them, but only resist the enemy’s strong attack, I am afraid that the enemy will break the line of defense.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Ming, the general responsible for defending this area, came over and said with a smile: “Major General, it is a good strategy, we have fought against the enemy’s death camp before, if there is no more than three times the loss , it is impossible to destroy the death camp, this time we lost more than half.”

Lu Yun blushed and said, “Everyone is fighting to the death, I just came up with an idea.”

Chen Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, “As expected of the son of the great general, our general sent someone to invite you over.”

Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, “Is it convenient now, is the enemy still attacking the city?”

Chen Ming smiled and said: “It’s okay, Yong Jun is already weak, and this day can be passed smoothly again.”

At this time, a sergeant shouted loudly: “No, the enemy has used the banner of Xuzhou Camp, and Zhongli is finished.”

Both Lu Yun and Chen Ming were startled. They ran to the front of the city and looked down. They saw two more flags next to Yong Jun’s Zhongjun Commander Flag. One was the flag of Xuzhou Great Camp, and the other There was a big “Dong” character on the flag, and Lu Yun was shocked. He knew that Zhongli would fall sooner or later, but he really knew that it was still unacceptable.

At this time, someone in Yong’s army shouted loudly: “Our army has captured Zhongli, and the heads of Zhongli County and Zhongli are here. The Shouchun guards will listen. If they do not surrender, once the city is broken, you will also be suspended. The first city gate.” Someone raised two heads with a flagpole and stood in front of the battle.

The defenders on the city were in an uproar, and their morale dropped a lot for a while. Many soldiers rushed to the city wall, looked down, and saw the tall people’s heads. Although they couldn’t see clearly, the city was already covered with gloomy clouds.

At this moment, the sound of gritted teeth suddenly came from Lu Yun’s side. Lu Yun turned his head to look, and saw Chen Ming’s eyes full of anger and murderous anger, looking at the “Dong” banner of the Yongjun Zhongjun. His expression was inexplicable, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He was puzzled, looked left and right, and a sergeant whispered: “Zhongli Duwei Chen is the elder brother of Brother Chen.” Lu Yun screamed and looked at Chen Ming sadly.

At this time, I saw Chen Mingyue stomping on the city and said loudly: “The thieves under the city, listen, you killed my brother, and I, Chen Ming, will try my best to avenge this bloody revenge, brothers, why are you downcast, Zhu Junshou and Chen Duwei have already To be loyal to the country, do we still want them to laugh at us in front of Lord Yama?”

From the handsome banner in front of Shouchun, a low and powerful voice said: “I vow to defend the city and kill the enemy Xuehen.” The Shouchun defenders also shouted after hearing the sound: “I vow to defend the city and kill the enemy Xuehen!” The voice was earth-shattering. , there is no more grief and depression just now.

Cui Jue and Dong Shan, who were under the city, looked at each other, and the strategy of attacking the enemy’s morale failed.

Cui Jue frowned and winked at a personal guard. That personal guard was a famous archer. Under the command of Changsun Ji, there were many soldiers who were good at archery.

He understood what Cui Jue meant. He rode his horse forward, and under the cover of several sergeants, he shot an arrow toward the city. He shot at Chen Ming who was still standing on the rampart.

Chen Ming was still looking at his brother’s head and weeping. He didn’t pay any attention to Yong Jun’s sneak attack. All the troops in the city shouted loudly: “Be careful!”

But faster than their warning calls, two shadows of arrows shot out from behind Chen Ming and where the flag was. The two shadows of arrows shot at the sneak attacking arrow almost at the same time. The arrow broke into three pieces, and the two arrow shadows also bounced back. It can be seen that the strength is a little worse. The defenders on the city all cheered loudly, but the Yong army under the city also shouted: “Good arrows! “Yong Jun did not hesitate to praise the enemy, but not only did their fighting spirit not weaken, but instead became more vigorous, they were all eager to try.

Cui Jue and Dong Shan both smiled wryly. The morale of the enemy army in the city was booming. Although their own side was also provoked to fight, if they continued to attack the city at this time, it would be absolutely impossible to succeed except for increasing losses. Looking at the sky, the two decided to withdraw their troops at the same time.

Looking at the slowly retreating Yong army, Lu Yun put down his bow and arrow, and sighed in his heart, no wonder Dayong has been able to stand still under the crowd of heroes for many years. I saw that these sergeants cheered for the enemy army without weakening their momentum in the slightest. On the contrary, he was even more motivated to fight, and he knew that even the elite soldiers under his father were not as good as them. After all, they lacked such confidence and firmness.

These Yong army, I am afraid that they will still be able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, but if something happens to their father, the Jiangxia camp and the Jiujiang camp will be headless and panic.

In Chen Ming’s gratitude and the praises of other soldiers, Lu Yun asked curiously: “I don’t know who fired the arrows at the same time as I did, why don’t I remember that General Shi’s guards have such a brilliant archer? When the soldiers heard it, they all suddenly smiled mysteriously. Chen Ming had already struggled a little from the grief of losing his brother, and forced a smile: “Major General, our general is waiting for you there anyway, why don’t you go and see? see?”

Lu Yun thought so too, so he walked over there, and after a while, he walked under the handsome flag, and saw that the Huaixi general Shi Guan was there ordering the repair of the city wall to prepare for tomorrow’s battle.

However, Lu Yun’s eyes suddenly fell on a young man standing beside Shi Guan. The young man was about the same age as him, and his appearance was 70% similar to Shi Guan’s, but his eyebrows were much more delicate. That young man is naturally handsome and handsome, although he is not as majestic as Lu Yun, but he wears a sword on his waist and hangs a bow on his shoulders.

When Lu Yun saw this young man, he felt sympathetic to each other, and he felt that this young man must have shot the arrow just now, but it was inconvenient to talk to him first, so he stepped forward and saluted Shi Guan: “General summoned, Lu Yunshan is late, please forgive me, general. crime.”

Shi glanced at Lu Yun and said with a smile: “Nephew Yun is indeed a young hero, with excellent archery skills, and a well-organized use of troops. As expected of a general tiger, don’t be too polite. I have been under the command of the old general of Zhenyuan for many years. , and your father is also a brother, although the power and position are disparate now, but if you want to come, you should call me Shibo.”

Lu Yun was originally because this General Shi was serious and dreadful, so he never dared to use such a cordial title, but just called him General according to the rules of the army. Today, seeing Shi Guan’s amiable demeanor, he was relieved and bowed down: “My nephew. Lu Yun pays homage to Shibo.”

Shi Guan stretched out his hand and pointed at the handsome young man: “This is my daughter Shi Xiu, who was naughty since childhood and was raised by her grandmother and mother as a boy. She is one year older than you, so you can call her sister. Bar.”

Lu Yun’s eyes widened, how could this be possible? Although this young man was very handsome, his brows were full of vigor and vigour. There was no trace of the tenderness and gentleness of a girl’s family at all. How could he be a girl?

Seeing this, Shi Xiu sneered, and stepped forward and kicked it, hitting Lu Yun’s calf, Lu Yun staggered in pain, and almost cried out, Shi Xiu said angrily: “What are you staring at, and, don’t allow it? Call me sister, if you dare to scream, don’t blame me for slashing you with ten swords and eight swords.”

Shi Guan just pretended not to have seen it, and continued to arrange military affairs aside from the two of them. His daughter, who has been dressed as a boy since she was a child, doesn’t look half a girl. The soldiers under her command also obediently called her Young Master or Major General. Some people didn’t even know that Shi Xiu was originally a girl, but he couldn’t tell Lu Yun that he had a son. He knew secretly and clearly that he had an idea in his heart, but he didn’t know if he was climbing high, so the identity of Shixiu was explained as soon as he came up.

Naturally, these two young girls did not understand his intentions. Seeing that Shi Guan was busy with military affairs, Shi Xiu pulled Lu Yun aside, threatening and enticing him, not allowing him to be called his sister.

Shixiu originally had an older brother, but he died at a young age, so after Shixiu was born, Shi Guan, in order to comfort his mother and wife, raised Shixiu as a son. There is no such thing as such, but he has learned the martial arts of bowing horses at a time. Later, he worshipped an Emei master who had taken refuge in Shu to learn the internal martial arts and swords. At a young age, his martial arts were already outstanding.

She has a strong temperament and doesn’t like to be a female celebrity with girls of the same age. She only likes to use guns and swords, and to shoot and hunt. When she saw that Lu Yun was also young, she was very skilled in martial arts. It is already a banquet with words and smiles, and Hele is like siblings.

On the second day, Cui Jue and Dong Shan regrouped and attacked the city again. This time, the two did not pay attention to any matters of attack and morale. They just attacked the city in a lawful manner. They seized every flaw and every opportunity. During the offensive, storm-like attacks were launched from time to time, night attacks, surprise attacks, and everything was used to the extreme. Shiguan also showed no weakness. The army almost rehearsed all the means of attacking and defending the city one by one.

With the protection of the strong city, the Shouchun defenders can be said to be comparable in strength to the Yong army. In terms of combat power, although the Yong army is stronger, the Huaixi army is not weak. It can be said that the two sides fight for morale and perseverance.

In this respect, the Shouchun defenders are also not lacking. These days, Lu Yun is almost everywhere the enemy is attacking, and he will defend the city wherever he goes. From the infancy at the beginning to the maturity later, he has become one of the best in the Southern Chu army. The warrior, the Yong army who was attacking the city below, also knew that there was a young archer in Shouchun, a young warrior.

Such Lu Yun has become a pillar in the hearts of the army and the people in Shouchun. As long as Lu Yun is here, there will definitely be reinforcements. Lu Yun is so brave at such a young age, and General Lu must be well-deserved. .

This kind of thought made every Huaixi soldier not afraid of death, and also made Shouchun become the Shura field in Yong Jun’s mind that was second only to Xiangyang in harvesting human life.

Shixiu did not show weakness at all. She had a strong sense of competition towards Lu Yun. Her sword and carved bow did not take much less life than Lu Yun, and whether it was intentional or unintentional, they both wore the same armor. The amount is similar, and they have the same superb archery. Although one uses a knife and the other uses a sword, in the eyes of Yong Jun, they are regarded as the same person, so the young warriors of Shouchun look at him on the left and suddenly on the right. In Yong Jun’s mind, there was a rather mysterious and terrifying thorn in his side.

On November 20, at You Shi, the Yong army finally stopped the offensive and retreated again without gaining anything. Lu Yun looked at the Yong army who was far away. Moved ten miles away.

Lu Yun moved his numb limbs exhaustedly and threw the horizontal knife in his hand. His own steel knife had already been destroyed. Just throw it away.

At this time, Shi Xiu strode over, and her uniform was stained with blood. When defending the city or attacking the camp, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to appear in the same place, but there seemed to be an invisible force that made They are tied to each other, and even though they are separated by thousands of people, they seem to be able to sense each other’s presence.

※※※※※

Shi Xiu stepped forward and said to Lu Yun, “Brother Yun, are you still going to the robbery camp tonight?”

Lu Yun shook his head and said, “Yujin, I can’t do it today. After three consecutive days of robbery, the Yong army will definitely be prepared today. I have already told my uncle.” , Lu Yun showed a very clever intuition, the timing of choosing the robbery camp is very appropriate, and if the enemy army is ambushed, Lu Yun can always feel inappropriate before the scouts probe.

Even Lu Yun wondered if he had been fooled too much in Chang’an to make him so sensitive.

As for calling Shixiu “Jade Brocade”, it was because Shixiu didn’t allow him to call his sister, and it felt disrespectful to call him by name, so Lu Yun simply called Shixiu’s name, which was given to him by Shixiu’s master before he left half a year ago. her words.

Shi Xiu nodded and said indifferently: “Okay, then let’s go back, how uncomfortable it is to wear this bloody suit.” After speaking, he shrugged impatiently. If other women did this pose, it would be rough and ugly, but Shi Xiu did it. Come, but there is a feeling of freedom and uninhibitedness, not to mention that she is wearing men’s clothes, just like a young general, where is the daughter’s mood.

This is a movement pattern that Lu Yun is used to seeing, but for some reason, Lu Yun’s heart suddenly trembled today, and he thought of Jiang Roulan, the master of Zhaohua County, who had been hidden in his memory.

The first time we met, Rou Lan was also wearing men’s clothes, but unlike Shixiu, although she was wearing men’s clothes, she was so charming and beautiful. Her temperament was pure and clear like a clear spring. Maybe it was because of her identity, her radiance was So dazzling, although there is no indulgence, it can even be said to be considerate and innocent, but Lu Yun always feels that Rou Lan has a temperament that is very high and far away.

But the girl in front of her gave Lu Yun a kind feeling, like siblings, like blood, inseparable, and when the two got along, they could communicate without any problems with almost no words.

Shi Xiu looked at Lu Yun, who was in a daze for no reason, and kicked him habitually. Lu Yun subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but for some reason he saw Shi Xiu’s hateful eyes, so he couldn’t move, and he was kicked into a knot. Solid.

Lu Yun screamed, causing all the soldiers to cover their mouths and snicker. Such a good show is always being staged these days, and they have already seen it.

At this time, the guard beside Shi Guan rushed over and said, “Major General, Young Master, the general calls you over.”

Lu Yun and Shi Xiu looked at each other strangely, and then Lu Yun stopped rubbing his legs, straightened up, and walked in the direction of Shi Guan with Shi Xiu. The carrier pigeon with gray feathers and red eyes, Lu Yun’s heart moved, and he stepped forward and asked in surprise: “Uncle, but it’s time to counterattack?”

Shi Guan smiled slightly and handed a piece of tissue paper in his hand to Lu Yun. Lu Yun took a look and saw the word “Zhan” with only an iron and silver hook painted on it. The golden seal of the letter, in addition to the small “C” character in the corner of the note, Lu Yun only felt ecstasy in his heart, and could no longer speak.

Shi Xiu looked confused, grabbed the note and looked over and over.

Lu Yun saluted Shi Guan and said, “Uncle, Lu Yun also wants to go into battle with uncle to kill the enemy, please allow uncle.”

Shi Guan frowned slightly, Lu Yun can naturally participate when defending the city, and he can do nothing when stealing the camp, but the counterattack is imminent, and the swords and guns are ruthless on the battlefield. If Lu Yun makes a mistake, how can he explain to the general ?

Seeing his hesitation, Lu Yun hurriedly said: “Uncle, you also know that sooner or later I will fight to kill the enemy. You have also seen my martial arts these days. I will definitely follow my uncle in this battle, and I will never do it without authorization. rush ahead.”

At this time, Shixiu looked at the note for a long time and didn’t understand its meaning, so he returned it to Lu Yun. Lu Yun was looking at Shiguan with enthusiasm, but he took the note very smoothly. Shi Guan couldn’t help laughing at the small movements in between, thinking to himself, I can finally marry this girl, that’s all, sooner or later, this kid will have to go into battle, it’s better to follow me than to follow others, he said: “Okay, you prepare horses and weapons. , and guard me when the time comes.” Shi Xiu could understand now, it turned out to be going out of the city to fight, and quickly said: “Dad, I will also go into battle to kill the enemy.”

This time Shi Guan did not agree, and said angrily: “Naughty, a girl who is about to get married, and I don’t know how to learn some things in the middle, I know how to play a sword and a sword, this time I can’t, just stay in the city. inside.”

Shi Xiu grabbed his father’s shirt and said, “Dad, I’m no worse than Brother Yun, he can go into battle, why can’t I, at most I’ll stay by Daddy’s side to protect me, and besides, I’m not going to marry those officials chosen by my mother. Children, if you want to marry, marry a hero who can fight with me to kill the enemy.” When she said the last sentence, there was a hint of shame on her face, but her eyes were bright, and she didn’t flinch.

Lu Yun was captured by her divine light and couldn’t help but say, “Uncle, Yujin’s martial arts are so outstanding, let her be with her. I will definitely protect her on the battlefield.”

Unexpectedly, Shixiu didn’t appreciate it, so he kicked him and said, “Who wants your protection? Is my martial arts worse than yours?” Lu Yun didn’t dare to dodge, but just took the kick with a bitter face.

Shi Guan resisted the urge to laugh wildly, and looked at Shi Xiu’s appearance that if you didn’t let me go into battle, I’d go with me, and thought, it’s better to stay by my side and feel at ease, and said, “Okay, the two of you. All of them go together, but don’t leave my side.”

Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were both very happy, and naturally they held hands and ran to sort out the horses and weapons, unaware that they should avoid suspicion.

A look of joy flashed in Shi Guan’s eyes, then his face calmed down, and he looked at the note again, “C”, then at least the two biography “A” and “B” have been lost. Yong Jun’s defense is very strict. But what does it matter even if the note falls into Yong Jun’s hands, this note is just a signal.

On the second day, Lu Yun and Shixiu were both fully clothed, but there was no accident for a day. Yong Jun and Nan Chu army were already familiar with each other’s tactics. Almost as soon as the enemy moved, they knew how to deal with it. Although the fight was tragic , but nothing new.

At sunset, Cui Jue threw away the two notes in his hand and said, “It really is nonsense. It must be the Nan Chu army who is trying to confuse people. Lu Can is very courageous, and he doesn’t dare to leave Jingkou now.” A gust of wind Blown, the note flipped in the wind, revealing the gold seal on it.

On the 21st of November, Shiguan still ordered the soldiers to be fully clothed and ready to fight at any time. He even took out a group of elite soldiers to let them recharge their batteries. The two sides fought until noon, and the sun moved to the south sky. Today is rare. The weather is sunny, although the weather is a bit cold in winter, the soldiers in the city and the city are all sweaty and heavy, and both sides are already at the end of the battle. physical strength and will.

Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes, Dong Shan said hesitantly, “General Pei and Lu Can faced off in Yangzhou. We attacked Huaixi. , it was unexpected.”

Cui Jue said: “There is no other way. Anyway, there are no reinforcements in Shouchun, so we have the advantage. Forget it, let’s attack again, and take advantage of the exhaustion of the defenders at noon to increase their strength.”

Dong Shan nodded. This is a practice. If this attack fails, he will retreat and rest until the end of the day, and then attack the sunset again.

Cui Jue mobilized the three armies and began to attack the city. The tired army who was replaced almost fell to the ground and fell asleep. The fatigue of the past few days was not only physically, but also mentally. Seeing this situation, Cui Jue moved his lips and finally There was no order for those sergeants to be on alert.

The offensive this time seems to be very effective. Shouchun’s defense is a little weak, and there are signs of collapse under the onslaught of Yong Jun’s unremitting efforts. Cui and Dong are both happy in their hearts, exchange a wink, and send the most elite daredevils. Dead camp, ready to give a decisive blow to the defenders of Shouchun, or to break through Shouchun today, this is not only the idea of the two generals, but the sergeants who attacked the city also felt the exhaustion of the defenders at the head of the city. attack.

At this moment, behind the trees on the hillside several miles away, a pair of eyes flashed with murderous intent, and they raised their hands gently, and there were some nervous breathing and the slight panting sound of the war horse.

Then the man waved his hand resolutely, and headed around the gentle slope first, in an arc, and rushed towards the rear of the Yong army.

“Kill!” The high-pitched shouts, the deafening sound of horses’ hooves hitting the ground, and the rumbling sound of war drums resounded through the sky at the same time. Cui Jue and Dong Shan were shocked and looked to the side to see smoke billowing in the distance. The cavalry was attacking, and the number could not be seen for a while, but it was always over 5,000. Those cavalrymen were all wearing silver armor, and the armor reflected the bright sunlight, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.

How could this happen? Both of them were inexplicably horrified. Nanchu was older than the boat division and did not pay much attention to cavalry. As far as they knew, the entire southern Chu now, except for the 9,000 cavalry in Xiangyang, and the 3,000 cavalry in the Jiangxia camp. In addition, the entire southern Chu can hardly find a cavalry with sufficient combat power. Most of these cavalry are the foundation laid by the Prince of Germany, but where did this cavalry come from?

Thousands of thoughts flashed by, and both of them shouted in unison: “Retreat, retreat.”

However, at this time, the silver-armored cavalry had already rushed into the rear of the Yong army. The Yong army was already exhausted, and when it was too late, the Yong army immediately fell into chaos and collapse. The cavalry rushed unscrupulously, slicing the Yong army into pieces like a sharp blade. At this moment, Shouchun opened the city gate that had been sealed from the inside. This was originally the expectation of the Yong army, but now it is worse.

The general standing at the gate of the city on a high horse is Shi Guan. To his left and right, two young generals in white clothes and white armor are protecting each other. There was a quiver hanging immediately, and even the war horses of the two were very similar white dragon horses, with their visors down, so they couldn’t see their faces. Although their bodies were a little different, they couldn’t be seen under the cover of the war armor. The two seemed to be twin brothers, and many of the Yong Jun who saw him had unreasonable thoughts of “that’s it”, and the image of the young warrior who was active in Shouchun City these days flashed in his mind.

It’s just that these Yong Jun immediately saw the general wielding the front of the sword, and the five thousand freshmen in the city rushed into the front of the Yong Jun.

The Shouchun defenders had no established cavalry, except for the 100 or so guards around Shiguan, there were no horses, but their combat power was not weak, and their battles caused Yong Jun’s heart to be severely damaged. No weaker than the cavalry rushing behind, the birds that were trapped in the net broke through the net, so the hunter’s mood can be imagined.

Under the attack of the Southern Chu Army from both sides, the 60,000 Yong Army was in danger, and the loss of the siege was too great. Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other, and they had already quarreled countless times where their eyes met, and then Dong Shan clasped his fists. He said loudly: “Follow me.” Then he greeted the Southern Chu army. A look of sadness flashed in Cui Jue’s eyes, and he also said loudly: “Follow me.” Then he rushed to the southeast.

As the two moved separately, the Xuzhou Army subconsciously followed Dong Shanduan, and the Nanyang Army followed Cui Jue to break through.

The sound of killing is deafening between heaven and earth. The two armies of Southern Chu seem to be two iron fists, echoing each other and killing the Yong army. After all, the Yong army is an elite soldier in a hundred battles. Many people killed and went out, turning to the north.

The Southern Chu army did not pursue, but concentrated on destroying the Dongshan tribe, leaving behind the 17,000 Xuzhou troops and the more than 10,000 Nanyang troops who had no time to escape. The exhausted soldiers after the war took the lead again, and the outcome was decided.

When the sun was setting, there were only thousands of remnants left on the battlefield.

However, the Southern Chu army was fighting more and more in Vietnam, and the Huaixi army who had rested in the city also joined the battlefield. The more than 20,000 Huaixi army and the 9,000 cavalry who came to help trap the Yong army in the formation.

Dong Shan only felt that the blood had covered his eyes, so he couldn’t help wiping it with the sleeve of his robe. He fixed his eyes on it. Although the cavalry of the Southern Chu Army were outstanding in horsemanship and martial arts, they could still see a trace of strangeness. This was due to good training, but There is no army that has actually been on the battlefield, but it will be different after today. This victory will make them real heroes.

There were faint moans and low curses from his comrades, and Dong Shan’s eyes fell on a pair of young generals fighting side by side. Just like a dragon going out to sea, a little pear blossom is transformed into one, and behind them, a sea of blood is left behind.

At this time, a middle-aged general under the command of the “Stone” character was erected in the Nanchu army, and a middle-aged general said loudly: “Dong Shan, you have already fallen into a dead place, why don’t you abandon your weapons and return?” With his shout, the Nanchu army Begin to slow down the offensive, but strengthen the siege.

Dong Shan ordered Yong Jun to move closer to him, and said loudly: “Mr. Dayong, there is no reason to return.”

At this time, a low-ranking general in the Southern Chu army shouted loudly: “Dong Shan, you killed my brother, and Chen is just about to seek revenge from you, it’s best if you don’t surrender.”

Dong Shan glanced coldly at the general and said with a smile: “Dong has been fighting on the battlefield for ten years, killing countless people, who knows who your elder brother is, if you want to take revenge, just come over, why bother. ”

The general was furious, but he didn’t ride a horse, so naturally it was impossible to charge at a cavalry general, and his eyes were split with hatred.

At this time, one of the two white-robed young generals who returned to Shiguan from the chaotic army raised his visor and said loudly, “General Dong, perhaps you don’t take your life and death in your heart, don’t you cherish your soldiers? , do you want all the soldiers under your command to die? If you are willing to put down your weapons, I guarantee that the soldiers under your command will receive the courtesy they deserve, and our army will never kill and abuse them.”

Dong Shan looked at the young man with bright eyes, he seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was full of heroic spirit, such a young hero. , if you have warriors who can defeat this general on the battlefield, this general swears here that no matter whether I live or die, all my soldiers will abandon their weapons and surrender.”

Shi Guan’s eyes exchanged glances with the one headed by the cavalry. They were not soft-hearted, but worried that the backlash of this Yong army before his death would cause too much loss to his cavalry, and it would not be worth it. Fighting, who is confident that he can defeat this general Dayong, and if he loses, how will he face his comrades and General Lu.

The eyes of the two fell on Lu Yun. Lu Yun is the son of Lu Can. If he fights against Dong Shan, he can tell whether he wins or loses. After all, he is only thirteen years old, but both of them are worried that Lu Yun has What an accident, that would be bad.

Seeing that the Nan Chu army had not responded, Dong Shan laughed loudly and said, “There are really no heroes in Jiangnan, and no one dares to fight me.”

His arrogance annoyed one person. Shi Xiu was still worried that she would lose her head. She had long forgotten her promise to stay by her father’s side. She would be scolded by her father in a while. , lifted his visor, and said loudly: “Dong Shan, don’t say that there are no heroes and heroes in Jiangnan, even us children, you may not win, if you have the courage, I will challenge you with him, the two of us. You are not older than you when you add up, so dare you to fight.”

Dong Shan was startled, but when he remembered the bravery of the two young men, he did not feel insulted. He said in his heart that they would go into battle to kill the enemy when they were young, and they could be considered heroes. If they died at the hands of such two young heroes, It’s not an insult. If you kill them, you can eradicate the two root causes, which is really worthwhile.

Therefore, he did not allow Shi Guan and the others to object, so he drove his horse out of the Yong Army formation, and said loudly: “Okay, I, Dong Shan, accept your challenge and sign up to let this general know who was killed.”

Hearing this, Lu Yun felt a sense of arrogance in his heart, he had long forgotten his objections, and said loudly: “My father occupies the position of a general, my name is Lu Yun, General Dong must remember.”

Shi Xiu is smart. How can a girl’s name be known casually? Although she is not shy, if her mother finds out, she will be annoyed, so she raised her voice: “My father, General Huaixi, my name is Shi Yujin, and General Dong must not forget it.”

Although Dong Shan had long expected that these two teenagers had unusual identities, he could not have imagined that one was the son of Lu Can and the other was the son of Shi Guan (he didn’t see that Shi Yujin was a girl), so he laughed loudly: “Okay, it turned out to be the two of them. Major General, he is indeed a general.”

After saying that, Yang Lan rushed up, Lu Yun and Shi Xiu looked at each other, and both rushed on their horses. Shi Guan hurriedly ordered the mobilization of the archers. If Dong Shan might hurt Lu Yun and Shi Xiu, he would let him go no matter what. Arrows save lives.

Three horses circled, two silver spears and a horse lance fought endlessly in the dust and sand. The blue-black armor and white armor were intertwined. This battle was not as one-sided as most people thought. Although Dong Shan It was Dayong, but Lu Yun and Shixiu were also not weak in martial arts. In addition, the two had a good heart and worked closely together. Dong Shan was exhausted again, and the battle was evenly divided.

One round, ten rounds, one hundred rounds. After the battle to Lily, all three were exhausted. Dong Shan was on the verge of collapse, but Shi Xiu and Lu Yun were not much better. Lu Yun was a man after all. These days After taking the medicinal pill given by Jiang Zhe, it was very beneficial to consolidate the original essence and still be able to support it, but Shixiu was out of breath, already sweating through his armor, and he seemed to be unable to hold the silver spear in his hand.

Seeing this, Dong Shan used all his strength to attack Shixiu, and no longer avoided Lu Yun’s silver spear. Although Lu Yun was more valuable to him, he chose Shixiu, who was a better player because of his lack of strength.

A lance stabbed away, penetrated the armor and entered, the silver gun of Shixiu let go, turned over and fell off the horse.

Lu Yun only felt that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and he cried out. His grief and anger forced him to press the gun with all his strength, and the silver gun turned into a rainbow shadow and stabbed Dong Shan in the back. He twisted, the shot just went through the right rib, Lu Yun used too much force and leaned forward, but Dong Shan smiled slightly, Ma Lan stabbed Lu Yun’s throat, completely ignoring the injury on his body.

Almost in an instant, the situation suddenly changed, and the Nanchu army was in an uproar. Shi Guan wanted to send an order to shoot arrows, but his body was stiff. He just stared at the falling body of his beloved daughter. Can’t do it.

Seeing that Dong Shan’s Ma Lan was about to pierce Lu Yun’s throat, Dong Shan had a happy expression on his face. He was able to kill the two future heroes of Nan Chu before he died, and it was worth dying. , he slowly lowered his head and saw the silver spear tip protruding from his chest.

Ma Lan’s sharp point was about to touch his throat, and at the moment when Lu Yun was about to die, Shi Xiu’s handsome face suddenly flashed in front of him with angry eyes and clenched silver teeth. , and the slowing speed of Ma Lian’s stabbing attack made him wake up immediately, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com hid in a kick, turned over and fell off the horse, the silver spear was withdrawn and then vomited, the spear stabbed Dong Shan in the lower abdomen.

After receiving three fatal shots, the light of life in Dong Shan’s eyes finally dissipated. He glanced at the northern sky with nostalgia, and his body slipped from the horse.

Lu Yun couldn’t hear the deafening cheers of the Nan Chu army coming from his ears, nor could he hear the painful cry of the Yong army. He got on his horse and stared blankly at Shi Xiu, who was separated by the empty saddle of the lost master. The war horses stared at each other.

The moment before Dong Shan stabbed Shi Xiu with a lance, Shi Xiu woke up. A flash of light flashed in her heart, and she fell into the lance. In fact, that lance only left a not deep scar, it was just Dong Shan. Exhausted, feeling numb, completely unaware that the lance was not compacted at all.

When he turned around and attacked, Shi Xiu had already stood up, and the silver spear of Beng Fei fell into her hands as she expected. She tried her best to strike and stabbed a fatal shot before letting Dong Shan hold it. The strength weakened, and Lu Yun was able to escape from death.

The cheers in their ears were still there, their eyes gradually regained vitality, and they both felt that life was returning to themselves. Thinking of the front line of life and death just now, both of them couldn’t help shivering, and turned their horses and walked towards Shiguan. , the eyes of the two have never been separated, and they are afraid that what they see in front of them is just an illusion, and the other party has already died in the hands of Dong Shan.

At this time, Shi Guan was already awake, and quietly wiped the tears from his eyes. He rode his horse to meet him, grabbing the two small arms in each of his hands, and shouted loudly: “God bless Nan Chu, give me a young hero.” He shouted: “God bless Nanchu, give me a young hero. Lu Yun, Shi Yujin, Lu Yun, Shi Yujin!” The voices were continuous and shocking.

Amidst the cheers of the Southern Chu Army, a sergeant of Yong Army sadly dropped his sword in his hand, and the other soldiers of Yong Army seemed to be infected, and the sound of weapons falling was endless.
