Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Under the scorching sun, thirty miles away from Hulao Pass, the Wei army led by Zhang Liao was galloping.

The spears, swords and halberds reflected the cold light under the sun, and the bright and neat armor showed the majesty of this legion.

You must know that this is a force assembled from the Huainan Army, Xuzhou Army, Yanzhou Army, and Yuzhou Army. They are well-trained and have a commander like Zhang Liao, with a total of 80,000 people.

More importantly, they abandoned Xuzhou, traded space for time, and rushed outside Hulao Pass just to take something away.

Opposite them, a force of ten thousand soldiers was ready.

When Zhang Liao saw the soldiers and horses in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but turn serious...

"Array-"

Following the order, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses quickly stopped marching, the flags of each legion were waved, and the 80,000 Wei troops had begun to arrange their troops in an orderly manner.

Just a moment later, the formation was set up...

Two armies confront each other.

For a time, the solemn atmosphere enveloped the battlefield.

The sun penetrates the clouds and shines slantly on the sharp spears and shining swords. The cold light reflected adds a bit of solemnity and solemnity to the upcoming battlefield.

At this time, the Shu army's battle flag with the Chinese character "Han" was fluttering in the wind. The soldiers formed a tight battle formation, and their armor shone with a cold metallic luster in the sun.

Their eyes are firm and their faces are stern.

"Definitely -"

With a horse's neighing, the well-trained Han army opened a channel in the military formation, and then the "clack-clack" sound of hoofbeats of a maroon horse sounded from the channel.

And with the horse's neighing and hoofbeats, all the Wei army's eyes were focused here.

——‘Is it Yun Chang? 』

Zhang Liao couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Not just him? The entire 80,000 Wei army...everyone would sigh in their hearts.

Even if the opponent's army only has 10,000 troops, even if the Wei army is eight times larger than the enemy, even in this encounter...the opponent has no city gates to rely on, and if they charge against each other, the Wei army has an absolute advantage.

But...but because the leader of the Han army was "Guan Yunchang" and because of the name "Guan Yunchang", no one dared to slack off.

——"Long time no see, Yun Chang!" 』

As the maroon horse moved further forward, Zhang Liao became more and more convinced in his suspicion that the horse was a red rabbit horse and the man was Guan Yunchang!

Can…

When the general on the maroon horse completely marched out of the military formation and appeared in front of the two armies, Zhang Liao couldn't help being shocked.

The horse is not a red rabbit horse. It does not have the blood-like color of the red rabbit horse. It is more like a Dawan horse...

As for the person, it is not Guan Yu, but... but a female general——

——‘A female general? 』

All the Wei troops were full of surprise and suspicion.

At this time, the female general opposite took the lead and shouted loudly: "I don't want Uncle Zhang to come here, my niece Guan Yinping has been waiting here for a long time!"

As he spoke, Guan Yinping drove his horse forward slowly and walked alone between the two armies.

Zhang Liao was a little suspicious, and he looked around cautiously.

The deputy general on the side quickly reported, "We have explored the surrounding area for twenty miles. There are no ambushes, and there are no flying balls in the sky... There are no traces of any ruts on the road, nor are the highly destructive ordnance of the Han army." Ambush on the perimeter."

After hearing such information, Zhang Liao's suspicious heart calmed down a little.

It's not his fault that Zhang Liao is like this. If the opponent is not Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, then Zhang Liao must be more cautious, because his opponent is likely to be Guan Si Guan Yunqi.

Guan Yu must be upright and upright, but this Guan Si, this kid... is secretive!
If you are not careful, you may capsize in the gutter.

"Uncle Zhang, why don't you come and talk to me? My niece has some words from her father and brother that she wants to convey to General Zhang!"

Guan Yinping inserted her Qinglong Sword into the ground. She especially sat astride the horse, pretending to be waiting for Zhang Liao to come and talk.

Zhang Liao pondered for a moment, then reined in his horse and stepped forward...

A deputy general wanted to follow, but Zhang Liao waved his hand to stop him. The other general was a female general, and she was the daughter of an old friend. If he brought his personal guards with him, wouldn't he be laughed at?

"Da da da--"

Accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, Zhang Liao, holding a crescent halberd, also drove his horse to the middle of the two armies.

"Go back and let your father come. You are no match for me! I don't want to hurt my old friend's daughter either——"

Following Zhang Liao's words, he was about to rein in his horse and go back.

What is there to say to a junior?
But Guan Yinping smiled, "Uncle Zhang, don't you want to hear what my father and my brother want me to tell you?"

The hand that was holding the reins loosened slightly at this moment, Zhang Liao raised his head again, "Tell me, what message does Yun Chang want you to bring?"

"My father said..." Guan Yinping said in a straightforward tone without any hesitation, "My father said that apart from my uncle and my third uncle, the best relationship I have with you is Uncle Zhang. He hopes to depose and fight with Uncle Zhang." , don’t use swords against each other, it’s all about justice and friendship between us!”

"Haha..." Zhang Liao smiled slightly, "It's hard for Yunchang to say such a thing. He and I are fellow villagers. He is from Jieliang County and I am from Mayi, Yanmen. When we met in Cao Ying, we were so late that we met... I admire his righteousness, but he and I have been our own masters over the years... We have never used private affairs to neglect public affairs. Today, Yun Chang is not here, but he calls you, a junior. I think he knows me. , knowing that I will never give up and go to war, now this can be regarded as courtesy before fighting. Go back and tell your father that I, Zhang Liao, will meet him at Hulaoguan for a showdown——"

At this point, Zhang Liao was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered that Guan Yinping had something else to say, and it was Guan Lin's words.

He simply spoke again, "Tell me, tell me about your brother, the famous Fourth Young Master Guan, what he has to say!"

This…

Guan Yinping was still pondering at first, but now Zhang Liao took the initiative to ask, so she simply handed over her younger brother Yun Qi to her, telling her what she wanted to tell her, and along with it, she pointed to the place where the Green Dragon Sword was inserted.

"Just one word from my brother..."

Guan Yinping's voice suddenly condensed, "This Qinglong Sword measures the territory of my great man. If any thief dares to cross this sword, he will be regarded as provoking the great man!"

"Kill! Nothing! Pardon—"

This…

Inexplicably, because of Guan Yinping's extremely cold words, Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment subconsciously, and even looked at the Qinglong Sword stuck in the ground.

then…

"Hahahaha..." He laughed suddenly as if he heard some joke, and then repeated Guan Yinping's words, "Anyone who dares to cross this knife will be killed without mercy, hahaha, he Guan Si thinks that I, Zhang Liao, am that Are you a kid from Jiangdong? You are scared when you hear the wind, hahahaha... I, Zhang Liao, can do nothing to me even if I cross this Qinglong Sword?"

As he spoke, as if on purpose, Zhang Liao rode forward as if to demonstrate, and passed the Qinglong Saber as if to intimidate him. He even turned back as if to challenge, raised his crescent halberd, and headed towards the waiting formation. Wei Jun shouted.

"Guan Lin said that anyone who crosses this Qinglong Sword will be killed without mercy! Soldiers, do you still dare to cross?"

Immediately, 80,000 Wei troops responded one after another.

"Go, go, go -"

“Broken, broken, broken—”

The earth-shattering sound surrounds this place, because this is the entrance to the valley and the only road to Hulao Pass. The echo caused by the chorus of 80,000 people echoes in the empty valley, shaking the heaven and earth——

But at this time, Guan Yinping kept shaking his head and sighing faintly, "It's so good to be alive... If you have to seek your own death -"

Zhang Liao heard her voice and was about to ask.

But he saw several loud "boom", "boom", and "boom" among the 80,000-strong army behind him... These sounds shook the entire battlefield overnight.

The pieces of explosives suddenly detonated among the dense soldiers on the left wing of the military formation, instantly releasing destructive energy. A huge fireball rose into the sky, accompanied by thick smoke and fire.

Thousands of soldiers were blown away by this irresistible explosive force. Their figures drew arcs in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The blood mist dispersed in the air and mixed with the smoke, forming a tragic and tragic picture.

However... the shock wave of the explosion continued to wreak havoc in the military formation——

Not only the left-wing military formation, but also the center army, the rear army, the tents, weapons and horses of the transport camp...all movable objects were overturned to the ground.

The screams and wails of the soldiers sounded at the same time, one after another, intertwined with the explosions, forming a tragic symphony.

This moment, no... not this moment, but just one moment!
The Wei army's formation that was originally waiting for them... turned into a hell on earth in an instant. Just now, they were talking and laughing, laughing at the Qinglong Sword for measuring the territory of the Han Dynasty. Now... Chi Guoguo was slapped hard in the face!

Countless Wei army lives were wiped out by this destructive force.

More than 10,000 soldiers were lost overnight.

And every one of the surviving soldiers looked at this scene in horror, at their comrades who were blown away, and at them being torn apart by the bombing.

Everyone's heart is filled with fear and despair at this moment.

Life and death are really just a matter of seconds.

"this…"

Zhang Liao was shocked. He stared blankly at the tens of thousands of soldiers that were destroyed in an instant. The horror in his expression could not be increased.

Then he looked at the entire Wei army formation, which was dodging in all directions due to panic and fear because of the explosion on the left wing, and then fell into pieces... An extremely complicated emotion flooded into his heart.

This is... such a hopeless and powerless scene——

Zhang Liao was even thinking that if... if Guan Yinping ordered a general attack at this time, then the 80,000 men under his command would definitely... have no chance of survival.

Guan Yinping, on the other hand, had no intention of giving orders, but looked at Zhang Liao with a harmless smile!

"Uncle Wenyuan, times have changed. Spears, arrows, halberds... Uniting troops and forming formations cannot solve the problem, and we can no longer win any battles. I advise you not to cross the Qinglong Sword. Listen to my brother and go back obediently. ——”

"My brother still has something to say. If Uncle Zhang doesn't listen to the advice, then this first explosion is just a small punishment but a big warning. Next time, you and the tens of thousands of soldiers under your command will not be so lucky - "

Following Guan Yinping's words... Zhang Liao's eyes filled with fear, worry, confusion, fear, and despair couldn't help but turn to him. He didn't say a word, but quickly reined in his horse and retreated.

He ran as fast as he could, shouting, "Retreat, retreat, all Wei troops... retreat thirty miles, thirty miles——"

At this moment, even if he shouted, Zhang Liao seemed to be desperate.

There was trembling in his voice, confusion, and deep fear.

It is no exaggeration to say that after thirty years of leading troops, he has never looked as embarrassed as he does now!
horrible…

That explosion that night was so... so terrible!

Looking back at Guan Yinping, she squinted and witnessed tens of thousands of Wei troops fleeing in panic, witnessing...the thick smoke caused by the explosion intertwined with the dust and smoke stirred up by the fleeing.

Guan Yinping couldn't help but murmured: "Uncle Zhang is better off..."

"If it weren't for his friendship with his father, I'm afraid brother Yun Qi wouldn't have kept his hand. Haha... What a lucky Uncle Zhang!"

...

...

On a hillside of the Songshan Mountains, Guan Lin, who had returned to Luoyang, was standing here, witnessing from a distance the scene of Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, one of the famous five generals, hastily withdrawing their troops under the blast.

The guard Mi Lu beside him looked at this scene and couldn't help scratching his head, "Young Master seems to have never been a kind person. In the past, Young Master also said that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to his comrades. Why did he deliberately let go this time?" Take this Liao and tens of thousands of Wei soldiers..."

The implication was that Milu didn't understand. Since the explosive packets had been used and the enemy didn't know about it, he could just blow them all up.

Why let Zhang Liao go, leaving hidden dangers...

The raising of this question made Guan Lin silent for a moment. He pondered for a moment, as if he didn't want to answer, but finally he spoke calmly and explained: "Actually, there are two reasons... One is the relationship between the Three Months Jiangling Mianshui Villa and Even though Jiangxia's refinery is at full production, the explosive packets that can be made are still not enough to deal with three enemies... Therefore, I can only choose to focus on one route, and the other two routes are more for deterrence..."

As Guan Lin said, tens of thousands of people... even if all the explosive packages were buried and exploded, the number of explosive packages required would be terrifying. Mianshui Villa and the refinery were far from reaching such productivity.

The quantities of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur required for the explosive kit are also insufficient...

It is precisely for this reason that the explosive package outside Hulao Pass can only go off like this. This is why Guan Lin specially asked his third sister Guan Yinping to guard here.

Of course, in fact, people...are full of awe and fear of unknown things, especially things with such destructive power and lethality.

Unexpectedly, after the explosion, Zhang Liao was afraid of this unnecessary "mine war", and the army did not dare to take another step towards Hulao.

In this way, valuable "explosion packages" and time were won for the other two battlefields.

"I see...Young Master is very thoughtful."

Mi Lu handed over his hand and replied with great admiration, but he thought of something, so he asked: "Young Master said there is a second point..."

"That's the friendship between my father and Zhang Wenyuan..."

Guan Lin turned his back and turned down the mountain while sighing: "Actually, if Zhang Liao was killed, my father would not blame me, but... he might be sad for a long time! In this world where etiquette is broken, such a righteous man... is really true Running out."

While talking, Guan Lin has already stepped onto the carriage...

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his shadow into a long and narrow shape...and the side curtains of the carriage narrowed the shadow.

call…

Mi Lu stayed where he was, murmuring as he looked at Guan Lin, looking at the back that disappeared from existence. For a moment, he had such a feeling. They said that the young master was a traitor, but in fact, Guan Gong's mood... The young master Care more than anyone else——

When he thought of this, Guan Lin had already opened the curtain of the carriage.

"Why are you still hanging around? It's time to go..."

"There should be news from Hanoi soon——"

Indeed, as Guan Lin said...

On the other side of Hanoi, no, all the people in Hanoi City have been moved away, and that city was specially prepared by Guan Lin for Cao Zhang and his 100,000 knights.

When Cao Ren went south to attack Xinye City, Zhuge Liang burned Xinye and gained thousands of Wei troops;

But this time... Guan Lin's idea is that since he is here, let's all stay!
There are enough weapons buried under the entire Hanoi city to blow up the city.
...

...

Hanoi County is less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang.

The bloody setting sun filled the sky, dyeing the bloody battlefield red. No, it was not so much a battlefield as it was above the Luo River.

"Boom boom boom——"

The drums sound like thunder…

Hundreds and thousands of warships were hovering on the Luo River, marching southward in unison, and the deafening "rumbling" drums could be heard every few warships.

Cao Zhang led 100,000 cavalry to land by boat. To his surprise, they did not encounter any obstruction on the water, and the enemy did not adopt the strategy of attacking them halfway across the river.

They landed easily, and then... Under the sound of thunder and drums, countless Northern Knights swarmed towards the city wall like a tide. For a moment... shouts of death and screams were intertwined.

The fighting was particularly fierce…

"Fight in-"

"Broken city——"

"Rush, rush -"

...

Several northern knights still exuded bloodthirsty light in their eyes. They set up ladders, held up shields, and frantically attacked the city closest to Luoyang with several times their strength.

The capture of Hanoi marked that...the Wei army who came from Bingzhou had occupied the base area, and no longer had to worry about the food roads in Luoshui River or the panic of attacking halfway across the river.

There is no going back in this battle.

"The first person to conquer the city will be promoted to the third level, and will be granted the title of Marquis within the Pass, and will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins——"

Cao Zhang, who was riding on a tall horse, pointed his whip at Hanoi City. He roared loudly and encouraged.

At the time of landing, dozens of messengers went to and from the battlefield, shouting.

"The general has an order. The first person to conquer the city will be promoted to the third level, and will be granted the title of Marquis within the pass, and will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins——"

"The first person to conquer the city will be promoted to the third level, and will be granted the title of Marquis within the Pass, and will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins——"

Inspired by this, more and more Wei troops rushed forward like crazy, climbing up the ladder with a rainbow of momentum...

The city was already in a state of turmoil.

"Fight, fight, fight..."

Countless Fu Shiren's soldiers and horses were also furious. This...soldiers who had experienced countless battlefields were tempered and brave. They struggled to resist...but a hundred thousand troops pressed the city, and their numerical disadvantage...made the city in danger.

"Report, General——"

A soldier quickly ran to Fu Shiren's side, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "General, the North City Gate can no longer hold it... It is about to be knocked open!"

"Report..."

The house leaked, but it rained all night, and two more soldiers came one after another.

"There are already enemy troops on the west gate of the city. The brothers are working hard to capture it...but the enemies are swarming more and more, and it is simply...impossible to recapture it!"

"Report...general, the south city gate is in danger, please rush for help——"

"South, north, west——"

Fu Shiren murmured in his heart.

『——What a great one! It seems that what Yun Qi said is true, this Cao Zhang knows the art of war! 』

Just as Fu Shiren was thinking.

"Report...the North City Gate has been knocked open..."

This brand new report instantly made all the lieutenants beside Fu Shiren's faces darken.

"General... we... we're afraid we won't be able to defend Hanoi!"

The lieutenants looked like they were mourning for their heirs, and they were about to shed tears...

Yes, over the years, the Fu Jiajun has fought consecutively and successfully, and has conquered all the attacks... Where has it ever suffered such serious injuries? After this battle, the myth of the Fu Jiajun's undefeated three years will... be broken!

I don’t know when, but the entire Fu family army seemed to suddenly have a strong sense of collective honor!
In stark contrast to the anxious, hesitant, confused and helpless expressions of these lieutenants, Fu Shiren always looked very calm.

After listening to everyone's words, he remained silent for a while, and then asked: "It seems like you can't hold on anymore, right?"

"Three city gates are in danger. We are focusing on one and not the other...General, general...we are afraid that we really cannot hold it."

Listening to the deputy general's urgent and sad words.

But Fu Shiren stroked his mustache calmly, then narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "If you can't keep it, then you won't keep it!"

what…

As soon as these words came out, everyone here was shocked, and an indescribable and unexplained feeling poured into their hearts.

But it turned out that their indescribable mood was still too early.

Because next, Fu Shiren's words, after the shocking "If we can't defend it, then don't defend it", were repeated. "Our mission is not to defend Hanoi City. We should withdraw when we need to. That's enough—"
