Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 482
The two trilogy turned into two torrents, and they collided in one place under the orders of the generals of both sides. It didn't take long to see the middle of the battlefield, and the pile of enemy and enemy corpses was getting higher and higher.

Although the number of people participating in this vicious battle was not many, it was far more brutal than before, not to mention Zhou Hui and other civil and military figures who have not had many battles, even Tao Ze, who has been in battle for a long time, can't help but be moved by it .

Wang Zheng was the only one on the field who seemed calm, but in fact it was only calm on the surface.

Because they were also watching from the sidelines, the one who was most moved by such heroic scenes was precisely Wang Zheng.

Even though he has seen similar scenes countless times, he still seems to be calm, but in fact he has sympathy.

Because the original Wang Zheng was one of them.
Because he in his previous life was also one of them...
In a war, there are always only a few people, or a few surnames, who can really share the fruits of victory.

And who is the person who really created the fruits of victory?
It is those who are unknown, humble as ants, and crawling with their heads down. They are the majority of people. They have paid the most expensive price, but they have never been eligible to participate in the feast of division.

I didn't even know there was such a feast from the beginning to the end.
Not only will they not leave their names in later generations and history books, but even the generals who commanded them to die may soon forget them and forget them all.

Staring at the bloody rain below, two lines of poetry suddenly appeared in Wang Zheng's mind, and he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:

Relying on Junmo's words to seal the affairs of the princes, one will succeed in a thousand bones.

Since the fighting, Ling Cao's whole body has been stained red by the blood spattered by the dead and wounded, some killed by him and others.There was his own blood, as well as the blood of the enemy, which blurred his eyes, and made the whole world lose its original colorfulness, and it was full of horrible red.

But all of this is not important anymore, and Ling Cao doesn't care much anymore.

Because at this moment, in his pair of red eyes, the general flag waving in the wind and rain became more and more clear.

Ling Cao knew that he was very close to it.
Maybe there are only a dozen steps, or maybe there are no more than ten steps?
It doesn't matter, as long as you work harder, you can capture this military flag, and the defenders on the opposite side will definitely be in chaos!

In the light of the jumping flames, he chopped down the last soldier standing in front of him, wiped off the blood on his face, raised his arms and raised his knife, and shouted back, "Brothers, the bandits' line of defense has been broken, and the military flag is approaching!" It's so close, the first victory of capturing the flag is within reach, kill!"

Relying on Ling Cao's bravery, Sun Ce's army had gained the absolute upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, and even tore a hole in the enemy's defense line. Now that they saw the dawn of victory, their fighting spirit naturally became more and more high, and they all shouted to follow Ling Cao Forge ahead.

Seeing that his home was in disarray, a soldier beside Zhou Ju urgently urged: "Captain, the bandits are attacking fiercely, why don't you avoid the edge for now?"

Zhou Ju changed his face when he heard the words, and reprimanded: "Just now I didn't understand the plan of the sun thief, and retreated to lure the enemy to go deep. Now I know that they are coming for me to carry the flag. How can I retreat again? Brother Kuang is at the top of the city right now. Watching the battle, even Xuzhou Mu Wangzheng faced him, retreating again and again, isn't it showing weakness?"

The soldiers were still waiting to be persuaded, but Zhou Ju had already drawn his sword out of its sheath: "At this time, the two armies are facing each other, and our army still has the advantage of numbers and geographical advantages, and has not shown defeat. But if we retreat without fighting, People are bound to panic, and the consequences are unimaginable!"

After finishing speaking, he put the sword directly on the ground, then stepped forward to hold the banner himself, and shouted loudly: "I am invincible today, I will never retreat, kill!"

At the critical moment, Zhou Ju made the right choice, and stabilized his heart through his masculinity that is not afraid of life and death. The originally crumbling formation finally stabilized. It hit Sun Cejun's waist.

As a second-rate military general, Ling Cao was indeed difficult for ordinary soldiers to resist, but although the other soldiers who rushed into the city with him were brave and fearless, they were not so outstanding in combat power, and they were firmly blocked at a distance further away. Outside, the entire team was divided.

good chance!
Seeing that Ling Cao fell into the encirclement of his own family, Zhou Ju's eyes lit up immediately, staring at Ling Cao who was still slashing with a knife not far away, he was planning to go up with the last few guards and try to capture him alive When he was captured alive, there was a low humming in his ears, but it was the sound of horns from outside the city.

Zhou Ju's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly stopped, looked up, and thought in his heart: "Could it be that the bandits have soldiers and horses to reinforce them, and they want to take this gap?"

At this time, a soldier beside him heard the meaning and couldn't help shouting: "Captain, it's time to retreat."

The sky is getting darker, the heavy rain has not stopped, and today is already the third day of the onslaught, even though it is a rare opportunity to know that this natural gap collapsed, but with the timely response of Wang Zheng and others, Sun Cejun seems to understand Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of, he once again chose to withdraw his troops.

Seeing that success was in sight but he had to give up on his own initiative, Ling Cao was naturally very unwilling. However, Sun Cezhi's army said that the military order was like a mountain, and he was unwilling to disobey after all. He turned around and summoned soldiers, and ran out.

It was not easy to charge all the way when coming, and it was not easy when going. After going in and out, Ling Cao finally managed to get out of the city, but most of the pawns following him were killed and injured, and finally there were only about twenty people left.

At the same time, Sun Ce's troops at the top of the city and the gates of the city also rolled away like a tide.

It wasn't until the last figure of Sun Cebing came out of the gap that Zhou Ju was relieved. The veins in his left hand that were tightly gripping the flag handle disappeared slowly. He was about to order the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and quickly repair the gap when he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him. , turned around to look, but it was Zhou Hui, Wang Zheng and others galloping towards them.

Handing over the general flag to the soldiers around him, Zhou Ju hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to plead guilty: "The last general is incompetent. He failed to keep the enemy general Ling Cao behind. Please punish the county magistrate!"

How could Zhou Hui punish him? Zhou Ju's performance today gave him a lot of face. He went up to help him up and said with a smile, "Ling Cao is such a brave general. It's nothing if he doesn't stay. You It is already a great achievement to be able to repel it and hold the gap."

Then he looked at Wang Zheng and asked, "What do Zhou Mu think?"

"There are so many talented people in Jiangdong."

Wang Zheng glanced at Zhou Yi, nodded his head and praised, and then turned to the main topic: "The collapse of the city wall today was caused by accidents on both sides. The Sun thief organized the attack in a hurry, but now the retreat is also sudden. There are more than ten thousand troops and many people. Yingpan, with such frequent transfers, there will be random thoughts, this is our opportunity!"

"What does Zhou Mu mean?" Wei Yan who was on the side immediately reacted: "Will there be omissions in Sun Thief's encirclement line at this moment?"

"good."

Wang Zheng looked at the crowd and said loudly: "This opportunity is not to be missed. Immediately arrange for people to change into bandit armor and go out of the city in the chaos, and go to the north of the Lujiang River to contact our reinforcements!"

Outside Bo'an City, Xuzhou Military Camp.

Peiguo's reinforcements finally arrived.

Outside the barracks, General Xuzhou was leading the army of Peiguo in an orderly manner, either to rest on the spot, or to enter the camp first. Some arrangements were made. Although the speed of people and horses entering the camp was slow, there was no chaos.

Unable to fight because of his injuries, Li Ren took the initiative to invite Ying to meet Pei Guo's reinforcements. On the way out of the camp, he made way for a large group of people who were constantly on the way, while looking for the leader of the army.

Li Ren knew that Peiguo had sent 3000 troops after being ordered by Guo Jia. The army was led by Wei Wenji of Qiao County. As for how many infantry, how many cavalry, and the exact number of accompanying food, civilian husbands, and equipment, there was no one. Is not very clear.

But looking at the people in front of him neighing and bustling, Li Ren could probably figure out one thing.

As a newly attached county, Peiguo did not go all out for the military order of Xuzhou, at least he did his best. It also proves that they have made a statement in this three-way melee, supporting the old and new masters Alliance, hope and believe that they can win the final victory.

There are also those flags mixed in the crowd, some are red and some are black, some are blue and some are

The soldiers and horses who came to aid this time were organized by more than a dozen cities, or more precisely, they were assembled by more than a dozen local tyrants in Peiguo.

Now that they had their own intentions, these tyrants naturally wanted to let Yuan Shu and Wang Zheng know exactly who contributed how many troops and how much food and grass.

Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, while Li Ren felt a little more confident, he also understood another thing.

The day of attacking Lu'an is not far away.

The war is about to start.

As he came, Wu Sheng was also discussing with the generals about the next siege in the commander's tent on the other side at this time, when the guards outside the tent suddenly came to report.
"General, there are brothers from General Huang's department coming from the south, bringing good news."

Wu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. This is a good thing.

Since it was Huang Zhong's department, it was naturally from Long Shu, and the good news brought was that Huang Zhong attacked Long Shu in the rainy night, depending on the first battle.

Because Sun Ce occupied several important towns in the north of Lujiang in advance, since Wu Sheng's troops entered Lujiang, although they have a general understanding of the current situation in Lujiang, they have never reconnected with Wang Zheng, and the specific transfer of troops and horses is even more difficult. Learned.

But Huang Zhong was different. The strategic purpose of him and Wang Xiong leading the crowd to the north of the Lujiang River was not only to regain Wancheng and reopen the northern passage, but more importantly, to join Wu Sheng's army.

So after capturing Long Shu, while making preparations to defend against Cheng Pu's attack, Huang Zhong immediately scattered the sentry cavalry to look for allies.

The movement of more than ten thousand troops marching was so loud, Huang Zhong knew that Wu Sheng was now preparing to launch an offensive against Lu'an, and he immediately sent someone to inform him.

From Longshu to Bo'an, no matter land or water, they will pass through Qianxian County. The few heavenly troops have gone through a lot of fighting. When they enter the account, all of them are covered with blood. He didn't have that thought, but asked eagerly: "General Huang sent you here, what do you want to report to me?"

The leader bowed and clasped his fists and replied: "General Huang went north to meet with General Wu's headquarters under the order of Zhou Mu, so he sent a villain to wait for his dispatch, and there is another military expression."

Wu Sheng is the head of Wang Zheng, and one of the four-wing general towns in the Xuzhou army. He is the main force when the two armies meet.

Wu Sheng took the letter, opened it, read it hastily, and handed it to Guo Jia who was beside him.

Guo Jia read it faster, the letter didn't contain much content, it was nothing more than Huang Zhong briefly describing the process of capturing Long Shu, and asking how to cooperate with Wu Sheng's military operations next.

He squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, looked at the messenger and nodded, "General Huang has only occupied Longshu for a few days, and you can travel hundreds of miles to report here, which shows that you are loyal to your mission."

After a pause, his eyes swept across the blood-stained armor of several people, and his voice became more gentle: "It's been a hard journey, and it is reasonable to let you take a break, but our army came from a different place, so we are not familiar with the road. I don't know if you may have to take another hard trip and return to Longshu?"

Hearing this, the leader said loudly without hesitation: "Although you can order the sacrificial wine, even if there are thousands of entourages, in my eyes, the road is smooth."

"Great!"

Guo Jia clapped his hands in praise, and then immediately handed him a handwritten letter, saying: "Remember, the contents of this letter are of great importance, so you must hand it over to General Huang. Secondly, you must not let the thieves see it."

"Sacrifice the wine, but please rest assured!" The leader solemnly made a promise, then put away the secret letter, saluted Wu Sheng and Guo Jia, called his companions to turn around and leave.

The summer of the first year of Jian'an is about to pass.

In the deep mountains and in the wild, it was raining heavily at night, and several people set off on their way home non-stop.

But in the end, the distance of hundreds of miles is not easy. Fortunately, these people are all systematic soldiers with extraordinary physique. Each of them took two cavalry, and they gritted their teeth in three days. Accumulating rain, walked through the vast wilderness and returned to Longshu.

On the afternoon of the day they arrived, the continuous torrential rain that had lasted for more than ten days finally began to gradually diminish.

Several people rushed to the bottom of the city, raised their heads and shouted, beckoning the guards to open the door.

In order to prevent Cheng Pu from Wancheng from coming to seize the city again, Long Shu's defense arrangement can be described as stern and strict. After Cheng Pu captured the city before, he wiped out the young and strong folks, causing public resentment, but no one thought that Huang Zhong would come later It was too much, directly expropriating all the servants and men of the rich families in the city, and even used the extermination of two big families as a deterrent!

After all this hard work, coupled with the surrender of captives, the number of Long Shu's defenders has reached 3000, and there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps above the city.

The guard Du Bo recognized the three people in the city, and was about to open the door when he saw a group of knights coming from the city on horseback. The first man was Huang Zhong with a bow and sword. That Du Bo just poked his head and said, "General, the messenger has returned." .”

Huang Zhong reined in his horse and stopped, and shouted, "Open the city gate quickly."

While rumbling, the city gate slowly opened.A group of people galloped out, the messengers were waiting outside the door, they were surprised when they saw Huang Zhong, they had just arrived at the bottom of the city, how could Huang Zhong come out to welcome them, although he was surprised, he didn't dare to neglect, immediately Get off your horse.

Huang Zhong then got off his horse, stepped forward to help them up, looked at them, and saw that everyone's complexion was pale, their lips were dry, and their eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, he knew that it would be difficult for the Heavenly Army to go back and forth for hundreds of miles continuously. Unable to take it anymore, he quickly ordered the soldiers to send them back to the city to rest.

The person in the lead refused to leave first, struggled to get up and took out Guo Jia's secret letter first: "This is Guo Jijiu's secret letter, I told the villain to present it to the general with his own hands."

Hearing the hoarse voice of the other party, looking at the trembling arm stretched out, Huang Zhong was silent for a moment, he could see that the other party was already exhausted at this time, but still did not forget the mission, he couldn't help feeling secretly, and took the letter with both hands. Letter, said in a deep voice: "Good man, you are all good men"

"How is General Wu's headquarters now?"

"When the villain was going, he happened to meet the reinforcements from the Pei Kingdom. The camp was full of soldiers and horses, and they were about to attack Lu'an."

Hearing this, Huang Zhong was startled for a moment, then nodded immediately: "It is indeed a coincidence."

As he spoke, he patted the messenger's shoulder lightly, with a smile in his eyes:
"When you went to Bo'an, General Wu's reinforcements arrived. Now that you are back, the general is also going to meet the reinforcements. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"General Huang is also going to meet the reinforcements?" The messenger was stunned: "Where did we get the reinforcements? Could it be that Captain Wang rushed over?"

"No." Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's the remnant of Liu Xun from another route."
