The two armies of Yong and Chu faced each other at Guazhou Crossing, and neither of them stood still. On the third day, Huaixi was in danger. Cui Jue's troops under Changsun Ji attacked Shouchun, and Dongshan's troops in Xuzhou camp attacked Zhongli. Zhongli fell after five days. The county guard Zhu Mou
Captain Chen was captured and refused to yield, and both of them died. The two armies jointly attacked Shouchun, which is an important town in Huainan. If you want to capture Huainan, you must capture Shouchun. At that time, Lu Can's eldest son Yun was ordered to help Shi Guan defend Shouchun. In the thirteenth year of Yun,
The soldiers and civilians of Huaixi were so brave that they all said, "The general will not abandon us, but will fight to the death with all his might. Yong's army could not advance even an inch."
——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian·Yong Ji San"
Zhongli City was finally captured, but Dong Shan was not happy at all. For five days, Zhongli City, which had only 3,000 defenders, made him suffer from the wall. 30,000 troops attacked the city day and night. Zhongli, who was obviously so weak,
But he never gave in. When the outer city fell, he retreated to the inner city. When the inner city fell, he started fighting in the streets inch by inch. This small Zhongli City almost sucked the blood of Yong's army. Sitting in Zhongli County Guards
In the lobby of the government office, looking at Sheriff Zhongli being pushed and escorted by the soldiers, Dong Shan took a deep breath and said: "You have committed an unpardonable crime by resisting the Great Yongtian Army. If you are willing to surrender, I will spare you for the time being."
If you don't surrender your life, don't blame me for using your head to pay tribute to the heroic spirits of my soldiers."
Zhongli County Sheriff is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He laughed and said: "Zhu is the crown prince of the country. He is deeply favored by the country. How can he kneel down and surrender to the enemy? If you want to kill, kill him. Why bother to say anything?"
."
Dong Shan was furious and said: "Pull him to the door and behead him to fulfill his loyalty."
The sergeants pushed the county guard to the front of the government office, pushed the county guard to the ground and were about to execute him. At this time, a helmet was scattered, and the embarrassed general was tied up by Yong's army and sent here. When he saw
The county guard was about to be executed, and the general asked in a hissing voice: "Master county guard, why are you determined to defend and refuse to retreat, and yet refuse to surrender as ordered by your superiors?"
The county guard surnamed Zhu said: "I was ordered by the imperial court to guard Zhongli. How could I abandon the city and flee? Moreover, Yong's army was attacking fiercely. If I had had any hope of survival, Zhongli would have fallen. It is not easy to retreat, not to mention there are so many people."
The officers have already taken the lead, how can I keep them waiting for a long time? Although the general is lenient, you and I are both ministers of Southern Chu, how can we not sacrifice our lives for the country." After that, the county guard surnamed Zhu was stabbed on the neck.
After hearing this, the general sighed and said: "Your Majesty, a scholar like the county governor died for his country, let alone a warrior like Chen." After he was captured, he originally had the intention of surrender, but after seeing the county governor die, he could no longer live happily.
, entered the hall, although Dong Shan offered words to persuade him to surrender, he said nothing. Dong Shan was impatient and ordered him to be executed. The general did not say a word until his death.
After a day of repairs in Zhongli, Dong Shan led the Xuzhou Army to Shouchun. It was still twenty miles away from Shouchun. Cui Jue of Nanyang Camp had already sent an envoy to welcome him. This time, Nanyang Camp was the main force in the attack on Shouchun.
, but because the soldiers in the Nanyang camp were not familiar with the geography of Huainan, the imperial court decided to send a force from Pei Yun to support Changsun Ji. However, Dong Shan and Cui Jue were old acquaintances. Both of them had served under the King of Qi for several years.
They had just gone their separate ways. The personal guard who came to greet him was Cui Fang, 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 said with a loud smile: "Good boy, how many years have you seen me?"
No, you are already so old, how are you, how is the battle situation, and how is your uncle's health?"
The young guard also smiled and said: "Uncle Dong, my uncle is in good health. The battle is very fierce. The Shouchun defenders are resisting almost at the cost of their lives. My uncle feels that the troops are insufficient. It would be great if you came."
Dong Shan was shocked. It seemed that things were not easy here in Shouchun. Then he said solemnly: "Dong Shan, the deputy general of the Xuzhou camp, was ordered by General Pei, the military governor of Huainan, to come and obey General Cui's dispatch."
The messenger saw this and said sternly: "General Cui Jue of Nanyang Camp Pingyuan has been ordered by General Changsun to attack Shouchun. His subordinate Cui Fang has been ordered by the general to welcome General Dong."
After the two said this, they looked at each other and smiled. Dong Shan sent an order to his soldiers to set up camp first. He took a few personal guards and followed Cui Fang to the front of the battle line to look for Cui Jue.
In front of Shouchun City, fireworks filled the air. Cui Jue, who was in his thirties, frowned and looked ahead. He was originally a man with a good appearance, but unfortunately his appearance was completely damaged by a scar on his cheek. Dong Shan rode his horse to the front of the battle.
At that time, he saw Cui Jue pointing his horse whip at Shouchun City and said: "Order the death camp to ascend the city. From there, there must be enemy generals there, otherwise the defenders would not be so tenacious." The military order was passed down, and not long after,
A battalion of Qingjia sergeants with a chilling air rushed towards Shouchun City. Dong Shan naturally knew that these were sergeants who had violated military laws, or simply prisoners who had been sent to the army. If they could make great contributions and survive, they could regain their freedom.
Therefore, when fighting, they always strive to be the first, and the most courageous thing is that there is such an organization in all the armies of the Yong Army.
At this time, Cui Jue had already noticed Dong Shan's arrival, turned around and said with a smile: "Zhongli has already defeated it? I'm still worried here."
Dong Shan bowed his head on his horse and said: "Brother Cui, you are always good, so please stop teasing me. I attacked a small Zhongli for five days, but in the end I didn't even get an important prisoner."
Cui Jue asked strangely: "Why, are both the general and the governor of Zhongli killed in the battle?"
Dong Shan said with shame: "I originally captured them all, but I got angry and killed them all."
Cui Jue was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "This is nothing. General Pei will not blame you for this matter, and will probably cover it up for you. However, the Nanchu Army in Huaixi is indeed brave and good at fighting. You
The army will take a rest first and attack the city with me tomorrow. I don’t know if the death camp can severely damage the defenders there." After saying this, he pointed his whip at Shouchun City, and Dong Shan also looked up.
I saw that the sergeants of the death camp had climbed to the top of the city despite the rain of arrows and rolling stones. There seemed to be no obstacles. Dong Shan frowned and said: "It seems easy."
Cui Jue also said doubtfully: "It's strange. I have attacked the city many times in the past few days. Every time it is very difficult from this direction. Even if I get to the top of the city, no one can survive. Why is it so easy this time?"
The two of them saw the green armor of the warriors from the death camp disappearing into the stomping mouth, and both had an inexplicable feeling that this attack would definitely not succeed. At this moment, the sound of fighting mixed with screams suddenly came from the top of Shouchun City.
, and the figure of the Nanchu Army appeared at the stamping mouth there.
Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other, Cui Jue smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that this time they used a trick to invite you into the urn."
Dong Shan sighed: "They must also know how powerful the death camp is, 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,
During the offensive, any decision made may be wrong. The generals guarding there must be confident and resourceful, but I see that the commander is not there. He must be an ordinary general. Shouchun City is really full of talents."
Cui Jue knew that this time the death camp might have surrendered to itself, 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. After passing the order, he smiled bitterly and said: "Who says it's not the case?
, General Pei is invincible in Huaidong, but we are struggling every step of the way in Huaixi."
Dong Shan comforted him and said: "I can't blame you and me for this. The Huaidong Army has been corrupted for a long time. General Pei has sent countless scouts to Huaidong to investigate the military situation in the past few years. He already knows the generals of Huaidong very well. If not, how could General Pei do this?
He went into danger alone and entered the Chuzhou camp to assassinate the enemy general."
Cui Jue paid attention to the situation at the top of Shouchun City and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor issued a decree to reprimand General Pei and not allow him to take risks again. He almost took the credit for the Chuzhou camp alone.
Erased."
Dong Shan said nonchalantly: "The general won't take it seriously, but for the time being, he will definitely not take risks lightly again."
While the two were chatting, the sound of fighting on the city top had disappeared. Cui Jue smiled bitterly, knowing that the death camp he had given great hope to had been completely wiped out, so he issued a military order to slow down the offensive. This time
The siege failed again.
On top of the city, Lu Yun gasped and sat down on the ground. He looked at the corpses of the Yong Army's death camp scattered around in the siege, and then looked at the curled steel knife in his hand. His clothes were stained with blood, and blood was flowing on the ground.
Chenghe, the fight just now brought him back from the gate of hell. If the two sergeants hadn't fought to their death to block the enemy's sword for him, he would have been killed. Although he was the son of a general, he was both internal and external.
Xiu, his arms have magical power, but compared with these soldiers who are not afraid of death, they still lack momentum. Thinking of this, not only is he a little scared, but his plan to invite you into the urn almost leads to the wolf entering the house. But what can be done about this, he clearly knows it.
The enemy is a warrior in a death camp. If we do not surround them and annihilate them, but just resist the enemy's strong attack, we are afraid that the enemy will break through the defense line.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Ming, the general responsible for defending this area, came over and said with a smile: "Major General, it's really a good strategy. We have fought against enemy death camps before. If we hadn't suffered more than three times the loss,
, it is impossible to eliminate the death camp, this time our losses were reduced by more than half."
Lu Yun's face turned red and he said, "Everyone is fighting to the death. I just had an idea."
Chen Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "As expected of the general's son, our general sent someone to invite you over."
Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it convenient now? The enemy is still attacking the city?"
Chen Ming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Yong's army is already weak, and it can survive this day smoothly."
At this time, a sergeant shouted loudly: "Oh no, the enemy has raised the flag of Xuzhou Camp, Zhongli is finished."
Lu Yun and Chen Ming were both startled. They ran to the front of the city and looked down. They saw two more big flags next to Yong's army's commander's flag. One was the flag of the Xuzhou camp, and the other was
There was a big word "Dong" on the flag. Lu Yun was shocked. He knew clearly that Zhongli would fall sooner or later, but he still found it hard to accept it.
At this time, someone in Yong's army shouted loudly: "Our army has captured Zhongli. The heads of Zhongli County Governor and Zhongli Captain are here. Shouchun General is listening. If you don't surrender, once the city is broken, you will also be in danger."
First city gate." As he said this, someone picked up two heads with a flagpole and stood in front of the formation.
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 tall heads. Although they could not see clearly, there was already a gloomy mist on top of the city.
At this time, the sound of teeth clenching suddenly came from beside Lu Yun. Lu Yun turned his head and looked, only to see Chen Ming's eyes filled with anger and murderous intent. He looked at the "Dong" banner of the Yong Army's Central Army, with a look on his face.
His expression was inexplicably sad, and tears fell from his eyes. He was confused and looked to the left and right. A sergeant whispered: "Captain Zhongli Chen is the elder brother of Brother Chen." Lu Yun exclaimed and looked at Chen Ming sadly.
.At this time, I saw Chen Ming leaping up to the city and stamping on the city, shouting: "Listen to the thieves below the city, you killed my brother, I, Chen Ming, will risk my life to avenge this blood revenge. Brothers, why are you downcast? Commander Zhu and Captain Chen
We have already served our country loyally, do we still want them to laugh at us in front of the Lord of Hell because we are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
From the commander's flag in front of Shouchun, a deep and powerful voice said: "Defend the city to the death, kill the enemy and avenge the enemy." Shouchun defenders heard the sound and shouted: "Defend the city to the death, kill the enemy and avenge the enemy!" The voice was earth-shattering.
, there is no longer the sorrow and depression just now.
Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other under the city, and their plan to demoralize the enemy failed. Cui Jue frowned and winked at a guard. The guard was a famous archer who was good at archery under the command of Changsun Ji.
There were many soldiers in Shu. He understood what Cui Jue meant, rode his horse forward, and under the cover of several sergeants, shot an arrow toward the city. The arrow was like a meteor and lightning, and it was almost impossible to see the arrow clearly.
The shadow, 300 steps away, passed through in an instant, and shot towards Chen Ming, who was still standing on the city stamp. Chen Ming was still crying looking at his brother's head, and did not pay attention to the secret attack of Yong's army. All the troops on the city shouted loudly:
:"careful!"
But faster than their warning cries, two arrow shadows were shot out from behind Chen Ming and from where Shuai Qi was. The two arrow shadows hit the sneak attack arrow almost at the same time. That arrow
The arrow broke into three pieces, and the two arrow shadows also bounced back. It can be seen that the strength is inferior. The defenders on the city all cheered loudly, but the Yong army below the city also shouted: "Good arrow skills!
"The Yong army was not stingy in praising their enemies, but instead of weakening their fighting spirit, they became even stronger, and they were all eager to try.
Cui Jue and Dong Shan both showed wry smiles. The morale of the enemy troops in the city was high. Although their own side was also aroused to fight, if we continue to attack the city at this time, in addition to increasing losses, it is absolutely impossible to succeed. Look.
Looking at the weather, the two of them decided to withdraw their troops at the same time.
Looking at Yong's army slowly retreating, Lu Yun put down his bow and arrow and sighed in his heart, no wonder Dayong has been able to stand firm for many years surrounded by heroes. He saw these sergeants actually cheering for the enemy without weakening their momentum at all.
On the contrary, they became more motivated to fight, knowing that even the elite soldiers under their father's command could not compare with them. After all, they lacked such confidence and determination. These Yong soldiers were afraid that they would still be able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner even if they lost their leader. But if something happened to their father
Unexpectedly, Jiangxia Camp and Jiujiang Camp were leaderless and panicked.
Amidst Chen Ming's thanks and the praises of other soldiers, Lu Yun asked curiously: "I wonder who fired the arrow at the same time as me just now. Why don't I remember that General Shi has such a skilled archer in his bodyguard?"
?" After hearing this, the soldiers suddenly showed mysterious smiles. Chen Ming had already struggled out of the grief of losing his brother. He forced a smile and said: "Major General, anyway, our general is waiting for you over there, why don't you go and see it.
What do you think?"
Lu Yun thought the same thing, so he walked over there. After a while, he walked under the commander's flag and saw the commander of Huaixi, Shi Guan, giving orders to repair the city wall and prepare for tomorrow's battle. Lu Yun's eyes suddenly fell on the station.
There is a young man next to Shi Guan. The young man is about the same age as him, and his appearance is 70% similar to that of Shi Guan, but his eyebrows are much more delicate. Shi Guan has a handsome appearance, and the young man is naturally handsome, although not as good as Lu Yun.
He is majestic, but with a sword on his waist and a bow on his shoulder, he has a faint sword aura and a heroic appearance.
As soon as Lu Yun saw this young man, he felt sympathy for each other. He felt in his heart that this young man must have shot the arrow just now, but he couldn't talk to him first. He stepped forward and saluted Shi Guan and said: "The general summoned me. Lu Yun is late. Please forgive me, general."
crime."
Shi glanced at Lu Yun and said with a smile: "Nephew Yun is indeed a young hero. He has superb archery skills and is very well-organized in his military tactics. He is worthy of being a general Huzi. Don't be too polite. I have served under the old general Zhenyuan Gong for many years."
, and your father are also brothers. Although there is a great disparity in power and position now, I think it is appropriate for you to call me Shibo."
Lu Yun originally did not dare to use such an affectionate name because General Shi was serious and formidable. He just called him General according to the rules of the army. Today, when he saw Shi Guan's kind demeanor, he felt relieved and bowed down: "Nephew."
Lu Yun pays homage to Shibo."
Shi Guan stretched out his hand and pointed at the handsome young man and said: "This is my daughter Shi Xiu. She has been naughty since she was a child. She was raised as a boy by her grandmother and mother. 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 eyebrows were full of energy and there was no trace of the tenderness and gentleness of a girl. How could he be a girl?
Seeing this, Shi Xiu smiled coldly, stepped forward and kicked Lu Yun in the calf. Lu Yun staggered in pain and almost screamed. Shi Xiu said angrily: "What are you staring at? And, don't do it."
Call me sister, if you dare to scream, don’t blame me for killing you ten times or eight times.”
Shi Guan just pretended not to see it, and left the two of them to continue arranging military affairs. His daughter had been dressed as a boy since she was a child, and she didn't look like a girl at all. If not, how could it be that she was about to get married next year, but she hadn't even accepted anyone yet?
The soldiers under his command also obediently called her Young Master or Young General. Some of them didn't even know that Shi Xiu was originally a girl, but he couldn't tell Lu Yun that he had a son, and in the past few days, he had told Lu Yun
He knew secretly and overtly that he had an idea in mind, but he didn't know if it was a high-level idea, so he explained Shi Xiu's identity from the very beginning.
Naturally, the two boys and girls did not understand his intentions. Seeing Shi Guan busy handling military affairs, Shi Xiu pulled Lu Yun aside and threatened and lured him, not allowing him to treat him as his sister.
Shi Xiu originally had an older brother, but he died young, so after Shi Xiu was born, Shi Guan raised Shi Xiu as his son in order to comfort his mother and wife. Shi Xiu also had a temperament very similar to his father's, and girls were good at nvhong.
She didn't know anything about martial arts, but she was able to learn the martial arts of bow and horse. Later, she learned the internal martial arts from an Emei master who had fled from Shu. At a young age, her martial arts was already outstanding. She had a strong temperament and could not
She likes to work as a heroine with those girls of the same age. She only likes to use guns and swords, and shoot and hunt. When she saw that Lu Yun was also very skilled in martial arts at a young age, she felt like they had the same temperament. After chatting for a while, the two were already laughing and joking.
, harmony is like brothers and sisters.
The next day, Cui Jue and Dong Shan regrouped and attacked the city again. This time, they didn't care about the psychological and morale issues. They just attacked the city in a regular manner, seizing every flaw and seizing every opportunity.
During the offensive, violent storm-like attacks were launched from time to time, including night attacks and surprise attacks. They used all possible means. Shiguan also showed no signs of weakness. When defending the city, he was as solid as a rock. He also took the opportunity to steal the camp and intercept the stronghold at night. For twelve days, two
The army has practiced almost all the means of attacking and defending the city. With the protection of the fortified city, the Shouchun defenders can be said to be on par with the Yong army. In terms of combat power, although the Yong army is stronger, the Huaixi army
They are not weaklings. It can be said that both sides fight for their morale and perseverance. The Shouchun defenders are not lacking in this aspect. These days, Lu Yun almost always defends the city wherever the enemy troops attack from. From his immaturity at the beginning, to
Later, when he matured, he became one of the best warriors in the Southern Chu army. Even the Yong army attacking the city below also knew that there was a young archer and young warrior in Shouchun. Such Lu Yun became the heart of Shouchun soldiers and civilians.
Pillar, as long as Lu Yun is here, there will be reinforcements. Lu Yun is so brave at a young age. General Lu must be well-deserved. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, they can defeat Yong's army. This thought makes every Huaixi
The soldiers were all brave and unafraid of death, which made Shouchun the Shura field second only to Xiangyang in the eyes of the Yong army for harvesting human lives.
Shi Xiu didn't show any weakness at all. She had a strong sense of competition against Lu Yun. Her sword and carved bow cost her no less lives than Lu Yun. Whether it was intentional or not, both of them wore the same armor.
They have similar abilities and have the same superb archery skills. Although one wields a sword and the other wields a sword, in the eyes of Yong Jun, they are regarded as the same person. Therefore, the young warrior in Shouchun looked at him on the left, and suddenly on the right.
A rather mysterious and terrifying thorn in the side of Yong Jun.
On November 20th, at the You hour, Yong's army finally stopped the offensive and retreated again without any gains. Lu Yun looked at the retreating Yong's army. These days, due to the attack of the Nanchu army, the Yong's army had already destroyed the camp.
After moving ten miles away, Lu Yun exhaustedly moved his numb limbs and dropped the horizontal sword in his hand. His own steel sword had been destroyed long ago. This sword was obtained from the Yong army attacking the city.
Just curl the blade after use and throw it away naturally. At this time, Shi Xiu strode over, and her military 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 seems to be an invisible force that binds them to each other. Even though they are separated by thousands of people, they seem to be able to feel each other's existence.
※※※※※
Shi Xiu stepped forward and said to Lu Yun: "Brother Yun, are you still going to rob the camp tonight?"
Lu Yun shook his head and said: "Yu Jin, we can't do it today. We have been robbed for three days in a row. The Yong army will definitely be prepared today. I have already told my uncle." During the process of the Yong army and the Nan Chu army secretly attacking each other's city.
, Lu Yun showed a very keen intuition and chose the right time to rob the camp. Moreover, if the enemy had an ambush, Lu Yun could always feel that something was wrong before the scouts came to investigate. Even Lu Yun felt strange, wasn't it?
He had been deceived too much in Chang'an, which made him so sensitive. As for calling Shi Xiu "Jade Jin", it was because Shi Xiu didn't allow him to call his sister, and it was rude to call her by name directly, so Lu Yun simply called Shi Xiu
This is the word given to Shi Xiu by her master before he left half a year ago.
Shi Xiu nodded and said nonchalantly: "Okay, let's go back. This bloody suit is so uncomfortable." After saying that, he shrugged impatiently. This posture would have been crude and ugly if done by other women, but Shi Xiu did it
Although she came here, she had a free and uninhibited feeling, not to mention that she was already wearing men's clothes and looked like a young general, without any trace of a daughter.
This is an action pattern that Lu Yun is used to seeing, but for some reason, Lu Yun's heart suddenly trembled today, and he actually remembered Jiang Roulan, the princess of Zhaohua County, who had been deeply hidden in his memory. When they met for the first time, Roulan was also wearing the same clothes.
Men's clothing is different from Shi Xiu. Although she is wearing men's clothing, she is so delicate and graceful. Her temperament is as pure as a clear spring. Perhaps it is because of her status. Her light is so dazzling, although she is not pampered.
Qi, it can even be said to be considerate and innocent, but Lu Yun always feels that Rou Lan has a kind of aura that he looks up to and looks at from afar. But this girl in front of him makes Lu Yun feel a kind feeling, like
Hands and feet, like bones and blood, are inseparable. When two people get along, they can communicate without any need for words. Shi Xiu looked at Lu Yun who was in a daze for no reason, and kicked him out of habit. Lu Yun subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
, but for some reason, when he saw Shi Xiu's angry eyes, he couldn't move his body, and was kicked hard. Lu Yun screamed, causing all the soldiers to cover their mouths and snicker. Such good shows always happen these days.
They are already familiar with the performance.
At this time, the personal guard next to Shi Guan rushed over and said: "Young General, Young Master, the general is calling you over."
Lu Yun and Shi Xiu looked at each other strangely. Then Lu Yun stopped rubbing his legs, straightened up, and walked with Shi Xiu in the direction of Shi Guan. When they arrived at Shi Guan, they saw a dog hanging on his left arm.
The homing pigeon with gray feathers and red eyes made Lu Yun's heart move. He stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Uncle, is it time to counterattack?"
Shi Guan smiled slightly and handed a piece of thin tissue paper in his hand to Lu Yun. Lu Yun took it and took a look. He saw that there was only one word "war" painted on it with an iron hook and a silver hook, and underneath it was written by Lu Can, the great general of Southern Chu.
In addition to the golden seal of the note, there was also a small "C" in the corner of the note. Lu Yun felt ecstatic in his heart and could no longer speak. Shi Xiu looked at it confusedly and simply grabbed the note and turned it over.
looking at.
Lu Yun saluted Shi Guan and said, "Uncle, Lu Yun also wants to go into battle with my uncle to kill the enemy. Please allow me to do so."
Shi Guan frowned slightly. Of course Lu Yun could participate in the defense of the city. It would be no problem when he stole the camp. However, the counterattack was imminent. On the battle formation, swords and guns were ruthless. If Lu Yun made a mistake, how could he explain it to the general?
? Seeing his hesitation, Lu Yun quickly said: "Uncle, you also know that sooner or later I have to go into battle to kill the enemy. You have also seen my martial arts skills these days. I will definitely follow uncle closely this time in battle. I will never
Charge and kill without permission."
At this time, Shi Xiu read the note for a long time without understanding its meaning, so he returned it to Lu Yun. Lu Yun was looking at Shi Guan with eagerness at this time, but he took the note very smoothly and saw the two of them.
Shi Guan couldn't help but smile at his small gesture, and thought to himself, this girl of mine can finally get married, that's all, this boy will go into battle sooner or later, it's better to follow me than to follow others, so he said: "Okay, prepare horses and weapons.
, follow me to protect you when the time comes." Now Shi Xiu understood that he was going out of the city to fight, and said quickly: "Dad, I also want to go into battle to kill the enemy."
This time Shi Guan did not agree, and said angrily: "Nonsense, a girl is about to get married, and she doesn't know how to learn anything about middle-class marriage. She only knows how to wield a sword. I can't do it this time. I just stay in the city."
inside."
Shi Xiu took hold of 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 can just stay by my father's side and protect him. Besides, I won't marry those officials chosen by my mother."
My son, if you want to marry, then marry a hero who can fight with me in battle." After saying the last sentence, there was a hint of shame on her face, but her eyes were bright and she didn't flinch at all.
Lu Yun was captured by her divine light and couldn't help but said: "Uncle, Yujin's martial arts are so outstanding, let her join. I will definitely protect her on the battlefield."
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiu didn't appreciate it, so he kicked him away and said, "Who wants you to protect me? My martial arts skills are worse than yours." Lu Yun did not dare to dodge, but endured the kick with a grimace.
Shi Guan resisted the urge to laugh wildly, and looked at Shi Xiu's expression of "If you don't let me go into battle, I will follow you by myself." He thought to himself, it's okay, it's better to stay with him and feel more at ease, and said: "Okay, you two
Let's all go together, but you are not allowed to leave my side."
Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were both very happy. They naturally held hands and ran to sort out the horses and weapons, without realizing that they should avoid suspicion. Shi Guan's eyes flashed with joy, then his face calmed down, and he looked at the note again, "C"
, then at least two letters "A" and "B" have been lost. Yong Jun's precautions are very strict, but what does it matter even if the note falls into the hands of Yong Jun, this note is just a signal.
On the second day, both Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were fully clothed. However, there were no accidents on that day. Both the Yong Army and the Nan Chu Army were already familiar with each other's tactics. They knew how to deal with the enemy's movements almost every time. Although the fighting was fierce,
, but there was nothing new at all. At sunset, Cui Jue threw away the two notes in his hand and said: "It is indeed nonsense. It must be the Southern Chu Army deliberately deceiving people. Lu Can is so brave, and now
I dare not leave Jingkou." A gust of wind blew by, and the note flipped over in the wind, revealing the gold seal on it.
On November 21st, Shiguan still ordered the soldiers to be armored and ready to go to war at any time. He even sent out a group of elite soldiers to recharge their batteries. The two sides fought until noon, and the sun moved to the southern sky. This was rare today.
It was a sunny day, although the weather was a bit cold in winter, but the soldiers above and below the city were all sweating through their clothes. Both sides were at the end of their strength and were fighting hard almost entirely with perseverance. The continuous attack and defense for more than ten days was really tiring.
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 are facing each other in Yangzhou. It is our established strategy to attack Huaixi, but the battle situation in Huaixi is so difficult.
, it’s really unexpected.”
Cui Jue said: "There is nothing we can do. Anyway, there are no reinforcements in Shouchun, so we have the advantage after all. Let's attack again and increase our strength while the defenders are tired at noon."
Dong Shan nodded. This was a common practice. If the attack failed this time, he would retreat and rest until midnight, and then attack with all his strength until sunset.
Cui Jue mobilized the three armies and began to attack the city. The tired troops who were replaced almost fell to the ground and fell asleep. They were not only exhausted physically in the past few days, but also mentally. Looking at this situation, Cui Jue moved his lips and finally
There was no order for the sergeants to be on alert.
This time the offensive seemed to be very effective. Shouchun's defense was a little weak and showed signs of defeat under the Yong army's relentless attack. Cui and Dong both felt happy, exchanged glances, and sent out their most elite warriors.
Death camp, prepare to give the Shouchun defenders a decisive blow, or they can defeat Shouchun today. This is not only the idea of the two generals, but also the sergeants who attack the city also feel the exhaustion of the defenders at the top of the city, and they are trying their best.
Attack.
At this moment, behind the trees on the hillside a few miles away, a pair of eyes flashed with murderous intent. He raised his hands slightly, and behind him came some nervous breathing and the slight gasp of the war horse. Then the man waved decisively and went around first.
On the gentle slope, they made an arc and rushed toward the Yong Army's rear array.
"Kill!" The high-pitched shouts, the deafening sound of horse hooves on the ground and the rumble of war drums resounded through the sky at the same time. Cui Jue and Dong Shan were shocked. They looked to the side and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance.
The cavalry was attacking. The number could not be seen at the moment, but it was always more than five thousand. The cavalry were all wearing silver armor, and the armor reflected the bright sunlight, making it almost impossible to open your eyes.
How could this happen? Both of them were inexplicably horrified. Nan Chu was superior to the boat division and did not attach great importance to cavalry. As far as they knew, in the entire Nan Chu, except for the nine thousand cavalry in Xiangyang, there were only three thousand cavalry in the Jiangxia camp.
In addition, there is almost no cavalry with sufficient combat power found in the entire Southern Chu. Most of these cavalry were laid by Prince De back then, but where did this cavalry come from? Thousands of thoughts flashed past.
Both of them shouted in unison: "Retreat, retreat."
But at this time, the silver-armored cavalry had already rushed into the Yong Army's rear formation. The Yong Army was already exhausted, and when it was caught off guard, the Yong Army immediately fell into chaos and collapse.
The cavalry charged unscrupulously, cutting Yong's army into pieces like sharp knives. At this moment, Shouchun's city gate that had been sealed from the inside opened. This was originally the expectation of Yong's army, but now it has become worse. Standing
The general standing high on his horse at the gate of the city was none other than Shi Guan. On his left and right, two young generals in white clothes and armor were guarding each other. Both of them had silver spears in their hands and carved bows hung on their backs.
There are quivers hanging, and even the horses of the two are very similar white dragon horses. The face armor is put down, and the appearance of the two people cannot be seen. Although the figures are somewhat different, it is not visible under the cover of the armor. This
The two actually seemed to be a pair of twin brothers. Many Yong Jun who saw them had the idea of "that's it" for no reason, and the image of the young warriors active in Shouchun City these days flashed in their minds.
However, these Yong soldiers immediately saw the general pointing his sword forward, and the five thousand fresh troops in the city rushed into the Yong Army's front line. The Shouchun defenders did not have any organized cavalry, except for the personal guards of about a hundred people around Shi Guan.
Besides, there were no more war horses, but their combat power was not weak, and their battle inflicted a heavy psychological blow on the Yong army no less than that of the cavalry who charged behind them. The birds originally trapped in the net broke out of the net,
So one can imagine how the hunter feels.
Under the attack from two sides by the Southern Chu Army, 60,000 Yong troops were in danger. The losses in the siege were too great. Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other. Where their eyes met, they had already argued countless times. Then Dong Shan cupped his fists.
He said loudly: "Follow me." Then he rushed towards the Nanchu army. Cui Jue's eyes flashed with sadness, and he also said loudly: "Follow me." Then he rushed towards the southeast. Following the two men
In order to split up, the Xuzhou Army subconsciously followed Dong Shan to break through the rear, while the Nanyang Army followed Cui Jue to break through.
The sound of killing in the sky and the earth was deafening. The two armies of Nanchu and Chu seemed to be two iron fists, echoing each other and killing Yong's army. After all, Yong's army was an elite soldier in hundreds of battles. With Dong Shan's desperate efforts, Cui Jue finally succeeded in leading 30,000 soldiers.
Many people were killed and turned north. The Southern Chu army did not pursue them, but concentrated on annihilating Dong Shan's tribe, leaving behind 17,000 Xuzhou troops and more than 10,000 Nanyang troops who had no time to escape, although they sacrificed their lives
However, the elite soldiers who were recharged and recharged took the upper hand against the tired soldiers after a long battle, and the victory or defeat was determined. When the sun set in the west, there were only thousands of remnant troops left on the battlefield.
However, the Southern Chu Army fought more and more, and the Huaixi Army who had rested in the city also joined the battlefield. More than 20,000 Huaixi Army plus 9,000 cavalry came for reinforcements, trapping the Yong Army in the formation.
Dong Shan only felt that his eyes were covered with blood, and couldn't help but wipe it with his sleeves. He looked closely and saw that although the cavalry of the Southern Chu Army had outstanding riding and shooting skills and strong martial arts, there was still a trace of rustiness. This was because they had been well trained, but
The army has never really been on the battlefield, but it will be different after today. This victory will make them real heroes. The faint moans and low curses of the comrades were heard in the ears, and Dong Shan's eyes fell on
On a pair of young generals fighting side by side, the silver spears in their hands were flying up and down, one hard and one soft, and they worked together perfectly. One was like a dragon emerging from the sea, and the other transformed into pear blossoms. Behind them, what was left was a sea of blood.
At this time, a middle-aged general raised a banner with the word "stone" raised in the Southern Chu army: "Dong Shan, you are already in a dead end, why don't you abandon your weapons and surrender?" Following his shout, the Southern Chu army
The offensive began to slow down, but the siege was strengthened.
Dong Shan sent an order for the Yong army to move closer to him and said loudly: "How can a Yong man surrender?"
At this time, a low-level general in the Southern Chu Army shouted loudly and cursed: "Dong Shan, you killed my brother. Chen is seeking revenge on you. It would be best if you don't surrender."
Dong Shan glanced at the general coldly and said with a smile: "Dong has been fighting on the battlefield for ten years and has killed countless people. Who knows who your brother is. If you want revenge, just come over. Why do you have to be so pretentious?
"
The general was furious, but since he didn't ride a horse, there was no way he could charge at a cavalry general. He was so angry that his eyes were splitting.
At this time, one of the two white-robed generals who returned to Shi Guan from the rebellious army raised his visor and said loudly: "General Dong, maybe you don't care about your own life and death, 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 or abuse them."
Dong Shan looked at the young man with sharp eyes. He looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was so heroic and he was such a young hero. He laughed and said: "It is impossible for Dong to surrender, so be it.
, if you have brave men who can defeat me on the battlefield, I hereby swear that no matter whether I live or die, all my soldiers will abandon their weapons and surrender."
Shi Guan exchanged glances with the leader of the cavalry. They were not merciful, they were just worried that the Yong army's backlash before their death would cause too much loss to their own cavalry, which would not be worth it. But if we were to fight alone,
In a fight, who is sure that he can defeat General Dayong? If he loses, how will he face his colleagues and General Lu? The eyes of the two people fell on Lu Yun at the same time. Lu Yun is the son of Lu Can. If
In the battle between him and Dong Shan, he could win or lose. After all, he was only thirteen years old, but both of them were worried that something would happen to Lu Yun, which would be bad.
Seeing that the Southern Chu army had not responded, Dong Shan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "There are indeed no heroes in the south of the Yangtze River. No one dares to fight with me."
His arrogance angered one person. Shi Xiu was originally worried that she had lost her temper and had long forgotten her promise to stay with her father. She would soon be scolded by her father. When she saw Dong Shan's arrogance and arrogance, her eyebrows stood up.
, raised his visor and said loudly: "Dong Shan, don't say there are no heroes in Jiangnan. Even for us children, you may not be able to defeat us. If you have the courage, he and I will challenge you together, the two of us.
My combined age is no greater than yours, so you dare to challenge me."
Dong Shan was startled, but he remembered the bravery of the two young men just now, and he didn't feel insulted. He thought to himself, they went into battle to kill the enemy at a young age, and they were considered heroes. If they died at the hands of these two young heroes,
It was not an insult. If he killed them, he would be able to eradicate the two evils. It was really a good deal. So he did not allow Shi Guan and others to object, and rushed out of the Yong army formation on horseback, saying loudly: "Okay, I, Dong Shan, accept it."
Your challenge is to state your name so that I, the general, can know who you are going to kill."
When Lu Yun heard this, he suddenly felt heroic in his heart. He had long forgotten his objections and said loudly: "My father holds the position of general. My name is Lu Yun. General Dong must remember it."
Shi Xiu was smart. How could a girl's name be known to anyone casually? Although she was not taboo about it, if her mother found out, she would be very angry. She raised her voice and said, "My father, the general of Huaixi, my name is Shi Yujin. General Dong must not forget it."
Although Dong Shan had already expected that the identities of these two young men were unusual, he did not expect that one was the son of Lu Can and the other was the son of Shi Guan (he did not see that Shi Yujin was a girl). He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, it turns out they are two
The young general is indeed a scumbag."
After saying that, Yang Gao rushed forward. Lu Yun and Shi Xiu looked at each other and both galloped forward. Shi Guan quickly ordered the mobilization of archers. If Dong Shan might hurt Lu Yun and Shi Xiu, he would let them go no matter what.
Arrows save people.
Three horses were circling, two silver spears and a horse were fighting endlessly in the dust. The blue-black armor and the white armor were intertwined. This battle was not as one-sided as most people thought. Although Dong Shan
They were strong generals from Dayong, but Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were also very skilled in martial arts. In addition, the two of them had a good understanding and cooperated closely. Dong Shan was exhausted, but the fight was evenly matched.
One round, ten rounds, a hundred rounds. When the battle reached Lily, the three of them were already exhausted. Dong Shan was shaky on his horse, but Shi Xiu and Lu Yun were not much better. Lu Yun was a man after all. These days
He also took the elixir given by Jiang Zhe. It was very beneficial to strengthen the body and strengthen the body. He was still able to support himself. However, Shi Xiu was panting and sweating through his armor. He seemed to be unable to hold the silver gun in his hand. See Dong Shan.
In this state, he used all his remaining strength to attack Shi Xiu, no longer avoiding Lu Yun's silver spear. Although Lu Yun was more valuable to him, but because of his lack of strength, he chose Shi Xiu, who was better at attacking.
, entered through the armor, Shixiu's silver spear fell from his hand, and he fell from his horse.
Lu Yun felt that his liver and gallbladder were splitting. He let out a loud shout. His grief and anger made him use all his strength to fire the gun. The silver gun turned into a rainbow shadow and stabbed towards Dong Shan's back. However, just when the silver gun was about to penetrate his body, Dong Shan's body moved strangely on the horse.
Twisting, the shot only passed through the right rib. Lu Yun used too much force and leaned forward. However, Dong Shan smiled slightly and stabbed Lu Yun in the throat, completely ignoring the injuries on his body.
Almost instantly, the situation suddenly changed like this, and the Southern Chu army was in an uproar. Shi Guan wanted to give the order to fire arrows, but his body was stiff. He just looked at the falling body of his beloved daughter, unable to say a word or move.
Can't do it.
Seeing that Dong Shan's horse was about to pierce Lu Yun's throat, Dong Shan's face showed joy. He could kill the two future heroes of Nan Chu before he died. Even death was worth it. Unexpectedly, he felt a pain in his chest.
, he slowly lowered his head and saw the silver spear tip coming out of his chest. Ma Shan's sharp tip was about to reach his throat. At the moment when Lu Yun was about to die, Shi Xiu's handsome face suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, with his eyes wide open and his silver teeth clenched.
It was almost as if he was in a dream, but through the silver gun on Dong Shan's chest and the slowed-down stabbing speed of the horse, he immediately woke up. He hid in one step, turned over and fell off the horse, pulled back the silver gun and spit it out again, and the gun stabbed him.
After three fatal shots, the light of life in Dong Shan's eyes finally dissipated. He glanced at the northern sky with nostalgia and slipped off his horse.
Lu Yun couldn't hear the deafening cheers of the Nan Chu Army, nor could he hear the heart-piercing cry of the Yong Army. He got on his horse and stared at Shi Xiu opposite. The two of them were separated by the empty saddle that had lost its owner.
The war horses looked at each other crazily.
The moment before Dong Shan stabbed Shi Xiu with his spear, Shi Xiu woke up. A flash of light flashed in her heart, and she fell off her horse. In fact, the spear only left a small scar, but Dong Shan
Already exhausted, his hand felt numb, and he didn't realize that the spear was not hitting at all. When he turned around and struck back, Shi Xiu had already stood up, and the flying silver spear fell into her hand just as she expected. She fought hard
With all his strength, he struck out with a fatal shot, which weakened Dong Shan's hand and allowed Lu Yun to escape death.
The cheers in their ears were still there, and their eyes gradually regained their vitality. They both felt that life had returned to them. Thinking of the line between life and death just now, they both shuddered and turned around on their horses and walked towards Shiguan.
, the eyes of the two people never separated, fearing that what they saw in front of them was just an illusion, and the other party had already died in Dong Shan's hands.
By this time Shi Guan had come to his senses and quietly wiped away the tears from his eyes. He galloped forward to meet him, holding his two small arms with each hand, and shouted loudly: "God bless Nanchu, give me a young hero." Nanchu Jun Gao
He shouted: "God bless Southern Chu and give me young heroes. Lu Yun, Shi Yujin, Lu Yun, Shi Yujin!" The shouts were continuous and shocking. Amidst the cheers of the Nan Chu army, a Yong Army sergeant sadly dropped his soldiers.
Blade, other Yong Jun soldiers seemed to be infected, and the sound of weapons falling was endless.
