Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 284 The body is like a broken flag
Immediately, Zhang Fei, who was not at ease, handed over the horse "Dark Clouds Treading Snow" to the Yanyun Eighteenth Cavalry to take care of it personally.

Zhang Fei still needs to have some free time before he can train this black horse that still smells a little bit wild, and slowly reach the tacit understanding of being connected.

Then, Zhang Fei quickly climbed up the city wall with long strides.

But before Zhang Fei could reach Li Ji's side, the voice came to him first.

"Mr. Zikun, I was just a little bit close to killing Qiu Liju..."

"Thank you for your hard work, Yide."

Li Ji first turned around and said something, and then comforted him.

"After all, Naqiu Liju is also the leader of Wuhuan today. He must have strong martial arts and a large number of personal guards to protect him. It is normal that it is difficult to take his life."

"This time Yide's display of majesty has greatly reduced Wuhuan's morale, which has made great contributions."

Being praised like this by Li Ji, even though Zhang Fei wanted to maintain his majestic appearance, he couldn't help but grin his big mouth.

Perhaps, in the eyes of most people, the image of "fierce Zhang Fei" is absolutely true, and a single glare is enough to scare many timid people.

But in front of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Li Ji, Zhang Fei has always behaved like a simple and straightforward younger brother.

Therefore, Zhang Fei doesn't care much about other people's praise.

But the praises from Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Li Ji were enough to make Zhang Fei happy for several days.

Zhang Fei grinned for a while, and then he remembered to give Li Ji a compliment.

"That's all thanks to Mr. Zikun who loudly pointed out Qiu Liju's location on the city wall, otherwise I would have lost track of Qiu Liju in the blink of an eye."

In response to this, Li Ji smiled slightly, naturally he would not go out of his way to claim credit in front of Zhang Fei, but would instead focus on Wuhuan outside the city again.

Zhang Fei's astonishing display of bravery during his charge undoubtedly frightened all the Wuhuan people, including Qiu Liju.

Therefore, even though Qiu Liju hated Zhang Fei very much now, considering the changes in the morale of both sides, Qiu Liju could only reluctantly send an order to retreat, and then attack the city again after regaining morale.

However, Qiu Liju, who already knew that it would be difficult to capture Jicheng, now felt even more gloomy about the idea of ​​capturing Jicheng.

If you want to conquer the city, you must have brave men to "climb first" and capture a small area on the city wall, and then slowly spread it until the city gate is opened and the city is completely captured.

(PS: The four major military achievements in ancient times: ascending first, trapping the enemy, killing generals, and capturing the flag;
Killing generals and capturing flags requires no special explanation. "First to ascend" generally refers to the soldiers or generals who first climb the city wall and stabilize an area before siege. Trapping refers to the soldiers or generals who rush into the enemy's position or break through the enemy's defense line. )
But with such fierce generals in Jicheng, and after successfully showing off their skills, who among Wuhuan still dares to believe that he can win the "first to get there"?
This made Qiu Liju lead the Wuhuan army to retreat about ten miles and choose a flat place with water on its back (the ancient name of Yongding River, "" is the same as "Lei") to camp.

This is also the terrain commonly chosen by the Wuhuan army to camp.

After all, when people eat horse chews, not only the consumption of food and grass is huge, but also the demand for water sources is extremely high. Therefore, Wuhuan armies often camp near rivers to meet the water needs of a large number of war horses.

However, after the Wuhuan camp was set up again, Lord Wuhuan and the commanders sitting in the tent were all silent, and from time to time they secretly looked at the people sitting in the main seat with gloomy faces. Qiu Liju.

The dead "Valley King" Nanlou is naturally worthy of mourning, but the surviving Qiu Liju has become a laughing stock.

Take off the cape, lose the helmet, lose the mount...

Qiu Liju felt every glance that came over him, and felt that it was extremely dazzling and meaningful. Qiu Liju even suspected that the black-faced man at that time could run left and right among the guards, and there might not be others. The reason why Lord Wuhuan secretly indulges.

After a while, Qiu Liju, who understood that he could not let this state continue, took the lead and spoke in a deep voice.

"Can anyone tell me who the black-faced man is? Actually, even the 'King of the Valley' Nanlou, who is known for his bravery, is not his Yihe enemy."

Let me ask you, how can you make your failure look good?

That is undoubtedly flattering the enemy.

Nanlou, who died under Zhang Fei's spear, became the best unit of measurement.

However, Qiu Liju took the initiative to mention this matter, which diverted the attention of many Lord Wuhuan and Yi Shuai.

One of the Yishuai recalled it and said.

"Wang, I remember that black-faced man once called himself Zhang San from Yan in Chinese."

"Zhang San?"

Qiu Liju recalled it with all the Wuhuan masters, and then he really remembered that the black-faced man called himself "Sanye Zhang from Yan".

It was just that they were so frightened by Zhang Fei's roar that a considerable number of people had no time to pay attention to what Zhang Fei was shouting.

"I have never heard of such a heroic and brave man named 'Zhang San' in Youzhou."

"But this is indeed the name that Han dogs usually give..."

"Hmph, what a heroic and brave man, in my opinion, he is just a fanatic."...

Facing the discussions among many Wuhuan people in the big tent, Qiu Liju also frowned and recalled, completely unable to recall the information about "Zhang San".

This made Qiu Liju secretly prepare to send people to ask Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun about the name "Zhang San from Yan".

'Don't let me know where this madman like you lives in Yan, otherwise you will definitely massacre this place to satisfy my hatred. '

And the death of Nan Lou, the "King of Valley", made it impossible for the name "Zhang San of Yan" to be suppressed in the Wuhuan camp.

This gave Qiu Liju enough time to re-boost Wuhuan's morale, and he also needed to divide the Wuhuan tribe and cavalry that were originally controlled by Nanlou.

This was not only to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Wuhuan cavalry coming from the direction of Shanggu County, but also to appease the other Wuhuan masters by dividing the interests in this way.

However, when Qiu Liju personally sent his confidants to ask Zhang Ju and Zhang San about "Zhang San from Yan", Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun looked almost at a loss.

In Youzhou, "Zhang" is originally a common surname.

In addition, the naming habits of the Han Dynasty were often single-character names, and the common people were basically illiterate, so there were only as many common people named "Zhang San" as there were.

Therefore, Qiu Liju waited hard for news from Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, but in the end he undoubtedly got nothing.

Later, after resting for five days, Qiu Liju led the Wuhuan army to launch a tentative attack on Jicheng.

The result can be imagined.

Since the difference in strength between the two sides was not large, and Wuhuan's side also lacked a large number of siege equipment, they failed to pose a threat to Jicheng to break the city. On the contrary, Zhang Fei was scolded by Zhang Fei after only a short time of siege. how long.

Moreover, Zhang Fei also specially picks out unpleasant things to scold, and the scoldings can be said to be as unpleasant as possible...

In addition, Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder, and its penetration and transmission range were particularly amazing. Even Qiu Liju and others who were commanding at the edge of the battlefield could still hear clearly.

That is to say, most of the Wuhuan people cannot understand Chinese. Otherwise, Qiu Liju and others might not be so angry that even the morale of many Wuhuan people would plummet.

However, this loophole was specially filled for Zhang Fei after Li Ji took command on the battlefield for two days.

A young man who was proficient in Wuhuan dialect was specially found in the city to follow Zhang Fei, and asked the young man to translate the Chinese words Zhang Fei cursed into Wuhuan dialect, and Zhang Fei repeated it again in Wuhuan dialect. A bilingual barrier-free communication.

"Are you Wuhuan people riding so many horses every day that you are all bow-legged and can't even climb the ladder smoothly?"

"Hahaha, the 70-year-old old lady in my hometown is more agile than you Wuhuan people. Is this the difference between the Wuhuan people and the Han people?"

"Qiu Liju, don't you want to take back your horse? Why are you hiding in the back and not daring to show up to attack the city in person? You just send these bow-legged people who may not have the strength to squirm on the back of the horse to die."

"Hurry up, crawl faster, I can't even fight hard enough!"

……

The Wuhuan people who were scolded fiercely at first were undoubtedly angry, but then they gradually felt helpless and desperate.

No matter how hard you attack, you won't be able to break through, no matter how hard you scold, you won't win...

This caused the morale of the Wuhuan army to plummet almost like a cliff. No matter how Qiu Liju and other Wuhuan lords supervise and encourage the battle, it was difficult to improve the morale of the siege.

Gradually, Wuhuan's attack on the city seemed to be just for show. In the end, he didn't even pretend. He sent his cavalry to wander around Jicheng and plunder every day, and he completely gave up the idea of ​​​​attacking the city.

It's just that the area around Jicheng has long been cleared of land, and even the two nearest small cities in Jicheng have deployed additional troops to garrison. Unless a considerable amount of Wuhuan troops are sacrificed, it will not be easy to win, and it will become useless.

For a time, this put Qiu Liju in a dilemma.

The current army under Qiu Liju's command was only close to 80,000. If half of them were to cross Jicheng and plunder south, this would put both sides at risk of being swallowed up by the Han army.

Fortunately, Zhang Ju from Yuyang County and Youbeiping County continuously sent food and grass, otherwise Qiu Liju would not have even thought about staying outside Jicheng to confront him.

……

As Jicheng and Qiu Liju fell into a situation where it seemed that neither side could do anything about the other, the 80,000 Wuhuan cavalry led by Tadun on the other side also rushed to the border between Yuyang County and Youbeiping County. A Wuhuan settlement.

However, this Wuhuan settlement had completely turned into scorched earth before Tadun arrived.

In front of the scorched earth, there is a Jingguan with a large number of heads piled up, and there is a flag next to it that seems to have some Chinese characters written on it.

Tadun led a group of city commanders to the flag, and asked the guards on the left and right to unfold the flag. What was clearly written on it was:
[Baima Yicong of the Han Dynasty massacred Wuhuan here on June 13th, and set up a capital to watch here! 】

When Tadun saw this, he was filled with anger and hatred. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist and cut the flag in half, shouting.

"If I don't kill the so-called white horse righteous followers, I will be like a broken flag!"
