In the hilly mountains west of Yangxin County, an army of 5,000 people was moving westward. The leader general was bracing his helmet and iron armor, holding a big knife in his hand, and a majestic and fierce maroon horse under his crotch. It was the veteran Huang Zhong.

Next to Huang Zhong, another general, with a white horse and silver spear, a tall figure, a heroic appearance and a sensation. This general is Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun was accompanying Liu Bei to find the prefect Zhang Zhongjing to treat his illness in Changsha County. When the Jiangdong Army launched a large-scale attack on Jiangxia, Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei's order and came to support Chaisang with veteran Huang Zhong.

The two of them went west and didn't say much, but Huang Zhong had heard of Zhao Yun's name for a long time and respected him very much. Zhao Yun also knew that Huang Zhong was the number one veteran in Jingzhou and taught Liu Jing to practice arrows, so he respected Huang Zhong very much. The two of them respected each other and felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

"General Zhao, this time the Jiangdong Army attacked Jiangxia is a big deal. Sun Quan personally led his troops to the expedition. If they successfully occupied Jiangxia, they would not stop the troops easily. Eight out of ten will turn around to attack Changsha County. Therefore, our battle is very critical. If we can control Chaisang, the Jiangdong Army will not be able to go south to Changsha County."

When Zhao Yun thought that Liu Bei was also in Changsha, he nodded, "Let's do our best!"

Zhao Yun didn't say much, but every sentence he said was carefully considered. What he said was actually a promise that would definitely help Liu Jing regain and protect Chaisang.

Huang Zhong was about to speak when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the front. He was stunned and asked anxiously: "What happened?"

"Old General, someone saw a dressed monkey in the woods!"

At this time, Zhao Yun also saw a figure flying in the woods, extremely flexible, jumping from one tree to another. He stared at it for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It's either a monkey, or a person, but it's flexible and agile, and can fly on the tree."

Huang Zhong sneered, "See if his body is fast, or my arrow is fast!"

Huang Zhong took the bow and took the arrow and aimed at the figure, but he slowly lowered the arrow, "I seem to have seen this person, and he is the subordinate of Mr. Jing."

He immediately ordered: "Don't shoot arrows and hurt people!"

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers brought people out of the woods, but they were a short boy. This boy was Liu Jing's follower Hou Wu. He was ordered to patrol the outside of Yangxin County and discovered this army of thousands.

He knew Huang Zhong and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Elder General, I am Hou Wu, the subordinate of Prince Jing. Do you still remember the old general? We have seen the old general last year when we came to Chaisang."

Huang Zhong nodded and ordered him to let go, then bent down and asked, "Where is your young master now?"

"Report to the old general, my son is now in Xiazhi County, and Mr. Xu and General Hu are in charge of Yangxin County."

It turned out that Liu Jing was not in Yangxin County. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun looked at each other. The two nodded together. Huang Zhong immediately ordered: "The whole army speeds up and heads to Xiazhi County!"

In a corner of the Xiazhi County military camp, Wei Yan and more than a dozen generals surrounded and watched Liu Jing's experiment. A hundred steps away stood a three-foot-high wooden house. A soldier poured the tincture oil in the clay pot on the wooden house and then quickly left.

A hundred steps away, Liu Jing lit a rocket, pulled the bowstring, and shot it out with an arrow. The rocket drew an arc in the air and shot it accurately on the wooden house. With a "boom!", the fire was lit up, and the wooden house was quickly engulfed by the fire.

The general next to him suddenly applauded excitedly, and Liu Jing smiled proudly and said, "See it! This kind of tincture is particularly helpful for fire attacks, and it will have miraculous effects in siege and water battles. This will be a powerful weapon for our army."

After all, tincture oil is not gunpowder. The emergence of gunpowder eventually changed the nature of war, while tincture oil is just a combustion aid and cannot change the nature of war.

But it can make fire attack easier, so that the situation can be reversed in small places. For example, when dealing with the nest car, you can burn it directly with tiny oil, and no longer passively like when you guarded Chaisang last time.

In fact, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, fire attack has been an important means of war, and the army has been looking for the best ignition aids. For example, when the Chu and Han Dynasty competed for hegemony, the Han army used flammable straws to tickle large balls, and then ignited them and attacked the enemy with huge fireballs.

Later, it was discovered that sulfur was a flammable thing, and it was used to fire attack. It was the time of the Three Kingdoms, and people had not discovered the effect of oil's fire attack. But soon, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the army began to use oil as a combustion weapon. Liu Jing only used oil in the war more than a hundred years in advance.

For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming burned the vine armor army and used gunpowder, which was suspected of traveling through time.

At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "Report to Sima, General Huang led 5,000 troops from Changsha, and had already arrived outside the military camp, and General Zhao Yun was also in the army."

Liu Jing was overjoyed, Huang Zhong led reinforcements, and Zhao Yun was also in the army. He hurriedly said to everyone: "Come with me to welcome!"

Five thousand troops were stationed ten miles away. Huang Zhong led a dozen generals to worship the camp, and Zhao Yun was also among them. Huang Zhong looked at the neat camp and a handsome flag embroidered with the word "Liu", and couldn't help but stroke his beard and smiled at Zhao Yun: "Zilong, this kid looks quite like this!"

Zhao Yun also smiled slightly, "I will not be surprised by any changes in him. Many things seem incredible to others, but in my eyes it is very normal. Young Master Jing cannot be treated as an ordinary person."

"yes!"

Huang Zhong sighed and said, "How much do I hope that the provincial governor will make him the heir to Jingzhou, so that Jingzhou will have hope."

At this time, the sound of drums and music came, and the camp gate opened wide. Liu Jing led the generals above the garrison to welcome him. Huang Zhong turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and clasped his fists and smiled, "Huang Zhong's rescue was late, which made the young master frightened!"

"Where! The old general came just right, it was simply a timely help."

Liu Jing smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. Not only did Huang Zhong come, but Zhao Yun came. This was God's help. He exchanged a few greetings with Huang Zhong, and then stepped forward to salute Zhao Yun, "Why is General Zhao here too?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Young Master has kindness to my lord. When the Jiangdong Army is attacking, the lord feels that he should do his best. However, there are no soldiers around him, so he asked Zilong to help the lord with his arm."

Liu Jing nodded. Liu Bei is indeed very good at being a human being. When Zhao Yun comes to help him at critical moments, he undoubtedly owed him a favor. However, Liu Jing is willing to owe this favor, and he is no longer more excited and excited than Zhao Yun comes to help him.

Liu Jing concealed his excitement and quickly invited everyone into the camp. Everyone came into the tent and sat down with guests and guests. The soldiers served everyone tea, and they talked and laughed in the tent, which was particularly lively.

At this time, Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said, "There is a saying that I want to say in front. This time I came to my assistance to Jiangxia was ordered by the governor of the state. The governor of the state made it very clear in the order, and asked me to assist Master Jing in dealing with the Jiangdong Army. In other words, I am not the chief general, Master Jing is the chief general."

Huang Zhong was very smart. He knew that he had a high status in the Jingzhou army and was also a general of the Central Army, and he had to surpass Liu Jing in terms of qualifications and military positions.

According to the rules, Liu Jing should be obeying his orders, but after all, he came from Changsha County, so how could he be overshadowed the leader? So he made it clear first and he would obey Liu Jing's command.

Huang Zhong's statement was just right. Liu Jing nodded and was not humble. He said to everyone: "I have the latest information. Sun Quan led a 50,000 army to confront Huang Zu and Cai Mao's reinforcements in Xiakou. Now is our opportunity. According to my plan, we will retake Chaisang again, so General Huang's reinforcements came very timely."

At this time, Zhao Yun asked, "How many troops do we have in our hands now?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I have five thousand troops in my hand, plus five thousand reinforcements, and we actually have ten thousand people. As long as we use our troops flexibly, we can defeat the Jiangdong Army."

Liu Jing's words made everyone excited, and Huang Zhong asked: "When will **** Chaisang be there!"

"I'll set out tonight, but I have an ugly saying to be ahead."

The tent suddenly became quiet, and Liu Jing's eyes began to become sharp. He slowly glanced at everyone and said slowly: "From now on, ten thousand troops will be mobilized by my military order. If anyone disobeys, behead them!"

Everyone stood up and saluted, "As for the order!"

..

After Sun Quan went north, three thousand people were guarded by the general Lu Meng. Lu Meng was only twenty years old this year. Like Liu Jing, he served as Sima, a farewell division. He was young and promising and highly valued by Sun Quan.

Lu Meng was very cautious and restrained military discipline, and did not allow soldiers to gamble and drink. At the same time, the city gate was not opened. Soldiers were arranged to patrol the city from morning to night, without any slackness.

That night, Lu Meng was patrolling the city wall as usual. The lord led a large army north. He was always a little uneasy, because Liu Jing.

He felt that the lord valued Huang Zu too much and despised Liu Jing, and he had some mistakes. According to his idea, after occupying Chaisang, he did not rush to go north, but instead concentrated his troops to Xiazhi County and Yangxin County to completely wipe out Liu Jing's remaining troops, and then turned around to deal with Huang Zu.

The lord's intelligence was not effective. He only knew that Liu Jing had more than 2,000 troops. He felt that this information was definitely not accurate. Liu Jing finally defended Chaisang and had two thousand troops. He also had to divide his troops to defend Xiazhi County and Yangxin County. There must be more than 2,000 troops, at least 4,000 to 5,000 troops, with a large number of troops.

Now that the main force of the Jiangdong Army is attacking Xiakou, will Liu Jing take advantage of this opportunity to **** Chaisang? Lu Meng feels worried, so he has been patrolling the city himself these days and nights, and dare not be careless.

At this time, in the woods west of the city, Liu Jing led three thousand troops to quietly wait for the opportunity. Beside him were Liu Hu and Wei Yan. Tonight, Liu Hu will also lead his 300-held infantry to attack, and he was full of expectations.

Liu Jing waved his hand and called Wei Yan and Liu Hu up, instructing the two of them: "Wait a minute, I will lead a hundred brothers to sneak into the city, open the north gate, cooperate inside and outside, you can lead the army in time, the signal is a rocket."

Wei Yan said anxiously: "How can Sima take risks? Why don't you let me go!"

Liu Jing shook his head, "I know a secret passage. No one can use it except me. Let me do it! As long as the response is prompt, I will not be in trouble."

Wei Yan had no choice but to agree, "Sima must go, and Beizhi cannot stop him. Beizhi will definitely accept him on time."

Liu Jing smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders. He stood up, turned around and waved his hand, "Follow me!"

A hundred elite soldiers who had already been waiting on the side followed Liu Jing and ran west to the city.
