60 Cranes and clams compete for the fisherman's profit

,.

"I am Wei Chou, the general of Jin State, and those who surrender will not die!"

Yan Liang held a big sword, carried the ladder with one arm to the front, and rushed forward bravely in the face of the sparse rain of arrows on the city wall.

"Follow me to the city!"

Zhao Yun naturally refused to show his weakness, so he dragged the gentian spear and drove a three-meter-long iron chain to charge forward.

"Kill!"

These Yu soldiers have been in the army for many years and have never followed such agile and brave general. Under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Yan Liang, they all have high morale and high spirits, shouting and rushing to the foot of the city wall.

"Shoot, shoot arrows!"

The guard Tang Shun, who woke up from his sleep, covered his crooked helmet and shouted, "What are you doing for food? The Jin army only realized that you deserve the military pay from the country when they arrived at the city?"

The sounds of "du,du,du..." came one after another, and ladders leaned against the city wall. Countless soldiers of Yu State bravely attacked the city with shields on their heads.

"Push down the ladder, knock it down!"

Tang Shun waved his spear and pushed a cloud ladder hard, and pushed it hard. The cloud ladder immediately tilted backwards. Several soldiers who were climbing fell to the ground, all of whom had broken bones, and they hugged their legs, legs and arms and screamed.

Perhaps because he has been passively beaten for many years, the soldiers of Yu State are more accustomed to defense and are not good at siege. Under the increasingly dense rain of arrows, more than 200 casualties were still unable to climb the city wall.

Even the ladder that Yan Liang climbed was supported by the defenders on the city wall with bamboo poles. Fortunately, they supported it with a big knife when they landed on the ground. It was not a big deal. They rolled on the spot a few times, got up and continued to roar and attack the city.

Zhao Yun carried the iron chain around the city wall, searching for a place that was most conducive to climbing, and suddenly threw the iron chain towards the city wall.

There was a loud "bang" sound, dust was flying, and the sharp iron anchor was embedded in the city wall and landed about one foot away from the top of the wall.

"Look at me!"

Zhao Yun groaned, grabbed the iron chain and stepped on the city wall, and climbed up quickly.

"Cum, shoot him to death!"

The captain responsible for defending this area raised a rolling stone and aimed at Zhao Yun's head and smashed it hard, and at the same time shouted loudly that the bow and arrow gathered fire at Zhao Yun.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and arrows like locusts rushed to Zhao Yun's head.

Zhao Yun was not afraid at all. He grabbed the iron rope on his left and climbed hard, and waved the dragon gall spear with his right as he was unable to penetrate the wind and rain. Whether it was a rolling stone or a wooden crossbow or a crossbow arrow, they all bounced away.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Yun had climbed to the end of the iron chain, about one meter away from the city wall.

Suddenly, his body rose into the air, waved his spear with a long scroll with silver light from the sky to protect his body, climbed the battlements of the city walls on the left, jumped, and flew to the top of the city.

“Wow…”

Facing Zhao Yun, who was descending from the sky, the Guo army on the city wall was so scared that they were scattered. They retreated in panic and dodged, and immediately became a mess.

"Look at the gun!"

Zhao Yun flew with a spear, and in a blink of an eye, he picked up seven or eight people from the city wall. Even the captain who was holding his sword and fighting forward was snatched through his chest after just one round, he was picked up in the air and fell into the moat.

Yan Liang was so excited that his blood was thriving and he admired him: "Tsk tsk... Zhao Zilong of Changshan is indeed amazing. I, Yan Liang, was convinced tonight!"

Zhao Yun waved his spear to kill the nearby defenders, and responded to the soldiers behind him to the city. Yan Liang raised his big sword and went up with the situation.

The two powerful generals joined forces and killed nearly a hundred Guo troops retreated step by step, leaving behind a large open area. The Yu army soldiers with high morale rushed forward, and soon as many as hundreds of people.

Yan Liang raised his big sword and rushed around. No one could stop him wherever he went. He almost never used a second sword to chop people. In the chaos army, he ran into the guard general Tang Shun, and the battle was not three times. He slashed to the ground with one knife and bent over and owled the head.

With Tang Shun's death, the defenders in Linzhang City had no heads and fled from the south gate. In just one and a half hours, Linzhang City fell into the Yu army.

The torches in the city were shaking, people shouted, horses were neighing, sheep shouted, dogs were barking, and there was a chaos.

The people closed their doors and closed their windows, either hid in wells or in woodshed, trembling, for fear of war. In this chaotic years, there were many vassal states that were plundered by soldiers, and their lives were as cheap as grass.

"Everyone is not allowed to rob the people, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Zhao Yun loudly ordered the soldiers not to harass the people. He brought hundreds of people to the granary and opened the door to look at it. He couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw dense grain piled up in the huge granary, like the sea of ​​grains, layers and countless. A rough estimate is that I am afraid that the grain stored in the entire granary will be no less than one million stones.

"It's a pity that so much food is burned. Everyone is looking for grain trucks and how much they can transport it away!"

Linzhang City is the granary of Guo State, so there is naturally no shortage of grain trucks. After searching, the soldiers found at least more than a thousand grain trucks and more than two thousand mules and horses.

In order to fill the grain truck before dawn, Yan Liang took some soldiers to the people's houses to catch the strong men and asked the people of Linzhang City to help load the truck. After the incident, each person was rewarded with a bag of corn.

For a moment, Linzhang City became a boil, and the people who received the news rushed to the granary to help Yu Jun load the grain on the carriage.

They have been dissatisfied with the rule of Ji for a long time and hate all kinds of harsh taxes. Although they do not want the people of Jin to break the city, they can exchange their labor for corn to fill their stomachs, so why not do it?

Tens of thousands of people were busy, and at the fourth update, they helped Yu Jun fill more than 1,000 grain trucks, roughly estimated that it was about 300,000 s.

Looking at the mountains of grain piled up in the granary, Zhao Yun felt very regretful. He let the people take it themselves in one stroke. He calculated as much as he could take in half an hour, and burned him after half an hour.

The people shouted and ran and were busy, trying their best. In half an hour, they only had about 200,000 stones freed up. There was still nearly half of the corn in the granary, splashing everywhere.

When you break, you break it. Although it is regrettable, you must burn it!

"Brothers, set fire and burn the granary!" Zhao Yun waved his head and ordered loudly.

Granary is a military important place, and no houses are allowed nearby, so there is no need to worry about harming innocent people.

With Zhao Yun's order, the fire in Linzhang granary was burning fiercely. With the cheers of the north wind, the flames soared into the sky, almost illuminating half of the night sky.

Under the flames, Zhao Yun took the gun and opened the way. Yan Liang dragged his knife and broke it. He led nearly 3,000 soldiers to escort more than 1,000 grain trucks except Linzhang City and headed north.

The news of Linzhang's robbery soon reached Xingyang. The king and minister of Guo State were shocked. Ji Shubi was furious and summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

Sun Zhong, the prime minister, came out in anger and offered advice: "Lord, is it tolerant to burn my food and grass for no reason in Jin? According to the scout, Zhao State had launched a large-scale attack on Jin. Xian Zhen was exhausted and had left Wei Chou to take charge of Pinglu. He went north to rescue the country. Wei Chou was so arrogant that he must give him some color and fight back!"

"This Wei Chou is so arrogant!"

Ji Shubi, who was in his early twenties, had a goatee, roared loudly and slapped the table and cursed, "Dong Sheng, where is Cai Yun? I will order you and the two of you to send 50,000 troops across the Yellow River to attack Wei Chou, and to be burned to Zhang with blood!"

As Ji Shubi spoke, he beat his chest and stamped his feet with heartache: "Oh... my food is gone in millions of stones. If you don't kill Wei Chou, it will be difficult to calm my hatred!"

The Holy Officer Dong was appointed as the General of Guo State, and Cai Yun State was appointed as the Lieutenant General. The two generals received orders to lead 40,000 Guo troops across the Yellow River. They marched towards Pinglu at night, trying to take advantage of the fire in the backyard of Jin State, encroaching on the territory of Yu State, and make a fisherman benefit.

"Damn it, I didn't attack Guo State, and actually took the initiative to harass him? That person robbed him of food. Since he was asking for a beating himself, I will fulfill his wish!"

After receiving the news, Wei Chou was furious and left his deputy general to lead 20,000 people to guard Pinglu, and personally ignited 50,000 troops and marched south, vowing to kill the Guo army without leaving any armor.

The two armies met in Chenggao on the south bank of the Yellow River. In a big battle, Wei Chou defeated Cai Yun and the Jin army won a complete victory. However, while annihilated 10,000 Guo troops, they also paid the price of casualties of 5,000 people.

Dong Sheng was defeated and retreated 30 miles, set up camps in Chenggao County, and waited for it. Wei Chou led his troops south, pressing forward step by step, vowing to attack Xingyang directly, so that Duke Jin could see that his ability was not inferior to Xian Zhen.
