Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367

Su Lie invited Zhang Xiu over and said to him: "General Zhang, this person occupies the boundary bridge and thinks he can block our army. I need you to go upstream to find a shallow place to cross the river, and then attack the crossbow array at the boundary bridge."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu nodded immediately: "I'll go now!"

Although Zhang Xiu has a noble status in China, he still has self-knowledge.He fought against Zhang Yi too much under Cao Cao. Zhang Yi estimated that his family did not resent him, but in his own opinion, he was atoning for his previous behavior.So he has always kept his stance low, and took the initiative to send his son Zhang Quan to Zhang Yi, half as a hostage, and half as a kind of guilt for his previous behavior, deepening the family relationship between the two families.No matter what, there is always nothing wrong with building a good relationship with the royal family. As long as you don't participate in the battle for the throne, you will definitely make money without losing money.

Zhang Xiu followed the Qingshui River to the southwest and entered Wei County to find a very suitable place to cross the river.Zhang Xiu first asked the cavalry to unload the armor and vest, and transport them across the river on horses in batches.The war horse can swim, but it can only carry a little weight. If the vest and armor are transported in one go, the war horse will definitely sink to the bottom directly.After several times of transportation, although the horses were very tired, they would not be drowned.

After Zhang Xiu crossed the river, he took the cavalry to rest for two days, and then started to march towards Jieqiao after the rest.

Su Lie has already launched an attack at the boundary bridge. Although he can't use the Zhuge Liannu at this time, after all, the range is much shorter than the crossbow this time.However, strong bows and powerful crossbows can still be used. Use the strong bows and powerful crossbows to push back the enemy troops on the bridge first.Then he occupied the boundary bridge, and he carefully asked Lu Guang to check whether the boundary bridge had been tampered with. If the army passed halfway, and then the boundary bridge suddenly collapsed, the past army would be completely slaughtered.

Fortunately, the boundary bridge is a stone bridge, otherwise, it might really be destroyed by Lu Qian.The stones of the Jieqiao are all held together with ancient adhesives, similar to those used to build the Great Wall. Without gunpowder, it is very difficult to damage. As long as it is not in disrepair, it is basically indestructible.

After Su Lie occupied the boundary bridge, he set up an army formation on the boundary bridge.The army formation is protected by swords and shields on the outside, and crossbowmen in the middle shoot arrows on it.

However, Lu Qian used the boundary bridge to shoot more and less, and kept shooting arrows on the bridge to block Su Lie's attack.Su Lie stood firm on the bridge, nibbling away at Lu Qian's army bit by bit.

Zhang Xiu suddenly led his troops close to the battlefield, and the appearance of the heavy cavalry caused chaos in Cao's army.Lu Qian hurriedly mobilized troops to defend. It was too late to escape at this time, so he could only carry it to death, and then waited for Le Jin to come to support.

Zhang Xiu immediately led his troops to rush towards Lu Qian, and his crossbowmen immediately became chaotic.Su Lie immediately asked Lu Guang to lead people over from Jieqiao to assist Zhang Xiu in attacking Lu Qian's troops.He himself followed closely behind and led his troops to Guangzong City, preparing to intercept Guangzong's Le Jin.

Le Jin saw that Lu Qian was attacked, and immediately led troops to support him.But when Le Jin was about to reach Jieqiao, he was stopped by Su Lie.

Le Jin saw Lu Qian being slaughtered from a distance, and his eyes widened, "Quick! Kill them with all your strength, and we must rescue Lu Zike."

Le Jin led his troops towards Su Lie's army formation, as if rushing to rescue Lu Qian, but Su Lie firmly stopped him.

Zhang Xiu had almost attacked Lu Qian's troops, and immediately handed over the next battle to Lu Guang, led the heavy cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield, and took a rest temporarily.After recovering some horsepower, Zhang Xiu immediately led the heavy cavalry towards the battlefield of Su Lie and Le Jin.

After approaching the battlefield, Zhang Xiu had been observing the battlefield. Seeing that the two sides were fighting anxiously, Zhang Xiu immediately led people around to Le Jin's oblique rear, and then launched an attack.

The heavy cavalry ran and rushed towards the rear wing of Le Jin's troops, with Zhang Xiu taking the lead.He is over 50 years old this year. He spent the first 40 years wasted, and it was only in the last few years that he found his real home.He is a fierce general. He only likes to ride his horse on the battlefield. He holds his spear and rushes into Cao's soldiers.When his horse collided with the enemy, he stabbed the enemy to death with his spear and led his men into the enemy's position.

This feeling made him feel very comfortable. When Le Jin appeared in front of him, Zhang Xiu's eyes couldn't help but light up.Le Jin had a high status in Cao Wei, and Zhang Xiu had known about it for a long time.He immediately led his men to rush forward, fending off three or four Cao soldiers in a row, and fought in front of Le Jin.

Le Jin heard the sound of war horses, and immediately turned to look over.When he saw Zhang Xiu, he immediately glared at him, "Zhang Xiu is a man, a thief who betrayed his master!"

Zhang Xiu sneered coldly, and he didn't even talk to him, but charged forward directly with his spear, piercing Le Jin with his spear.

Le Jin immediately dodged to the side, but there was not much room to dodge on the battlefield.There was a soldier under Su Lie beside him, and that soldier saved Le Jin in one fell swoop.Le Jin pushed the soldiers away with all his strength, but he had no time to dodge Zhang Xiu's spear, and Zhang Xiu directly penetrated his chest.

Zhang Xiu was thrown Le Jin on the ground, and he said to the soldier who just hugged Le Jin, "Take his head to receive the merit."

"Thank you, Marquis!" There are too few people in China, so people respect Marquis very much.

Zhang Xiu, he didn't care much about military achievements anymore, no matter how great military achievements are, he is not as strong as being loved by others.What's more, our emperor, His Majesty, attaches great importance to virtue, even if he has no talent, he will be given a idle job, and those who are talented and virtuous will definitely be reused.

As soon as Le Jin died, Le Jin's subordinates lost their morale and fled one after another.After chasing for two miles, Zhang Xiu stopped. The horse had no strength and needed to rest.Even in the next few days, these war horses could not go to the battlefield.This is the case with heavy cavalry. They rely too much on horsepower. Once there is no horsepower, they will have no combat effectiveness.

But it was enough, Su Lie had captured many prisoners, and then flanked Lu Qian with Hui Jun and Lu Guang.

Lu Qian led his troops to persist until evening, and died under the chaos.

Wang Ling only had more than 2 troops left, and most of the rest of Lu Qian's and Yue Jin's troops fled.Zhang Yijun's soldiers were so powerful that they were frightened. Some were killed in battle, some were captured, and no less than 2 people escaped.

Wang Ling's troops are now even smaller than Su Lie's. Le Jin and Lu Qian died in battle, and morale in the city is low.He had no choice but to continue to retreat to Julu County.Although Julu County is not the seat of Julu County, it is also a large county, and there is no difference between Chengfang and Guangzong.Moreover, Julu is closer to Yecheng, so he can wait for reinforcements from Yecheng earlier.

Wang Ling has already asked for reinforcements from Yecheng, and Cao Pi's reinforcements have already set off for Julu County led by Li Dian.
