When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 526 It's broken! Who can resist thousands of Liu Xuande! (Four thousand)

"What? Shouchun is under siege?!"

The generals who stayed behind in Huainan were shocked to learn from the soldiers who had fought their way out of the encirclement that Shouchun was in danger, and their brows instantly furrowed.

You must know that since Yuan Shu took Shouchun, he has regarded Shouchun as of vital importance.

Even the newly established Huainan County's capital was Shouchun. Now that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor, Shouchun's status and significance had risen rapidly, similar to Chang'an to the Han Dynasty.

Now that the capital is under siege, how can they just sit back and do nothing?
As for the dangers involved.
The defenders stared at the wounded cavalrymen in front of them, seeing the anxiety and fatigue that could not be concealed on their faces, and their minds suddenly became active.

If the imperial army is really approaching in large numbers, can these cavalrymen still break out of the siege?

However, only one or two people escaped from the group.
In this way, although these troops are not Liu Xuande's main force, they do have the possibility of capturing Shouchun. If Shouchun is captured, it will be very bad!

The defenders made a decision in an instant. Liu Xuande's troops and the Chen army were difficult to deal with, but they were not impossible to deal with! Send troops! We must send troops to help Shouchun!
So the garrison commanders issued orders one after another, "Come here, pass on my military order! Gather your troops and rush to Shouchun to help!"

The remaining troops in Huainan were mobilized at this moment, and only a thousand soldiers were left behind. The rest of the troops, led by their respective generals, rushed towards Shouchun.

The terrain of Huainan is between hills and plains, and the Huainan generals had to pass through the hilly areas when leading their troops towards Shouchun.

Looking at the hundred-meter-high mountain covered with dense shade and stretching in all directions.

The cautious generals in Huainan could not help but worry, "The rolling hills may hide ambushes."

Such worried words soon reached the ears of other generals, causing them to sneer, "Ambush? Hahaha! How could there be an ambush? This is the talk of a coward!"

"Ambush? Even tens of thousands of soldiers were too strong to besiege Shouchun, so where did they get the strength to ambush us?!"

"Not bad, not bad, unless Liu Xuande doesn't want to capture Shouchun!"

"You all say that we should travel light and rush to Shouchun! Then we will wait for His Majesty to return to the court. We will make sure that Liu Xuande never returns!"

The Huainan generals shouted louder and louder, but they couldn't help but be alert in their hearts. The opponent was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, a fierce man who solved the Qiang problem, so they had to treat him seriously!
However, as the army continued to advance, they passed through more and more hills and mountains, and did not see the so-called ambush. Therefore, they gradually began to relax, and many people even sneered: "Haha, it's just as expected. Ambush? Where did the ambush come from?"

"The so-called ambush is nothing but an excuse for cowards. I think Liu Xuande is nothing but a man of empty reputation!"

However, what they failed to notice was that Liu Bei and others, who were wearing camouflage uniforms in the forest, could see the movements of Yuan's reinforcements clearly with the help of telescopes.

The troops led by Huo Du, a general under Liu Bei, were the closest to Yuan's army. Although most of his men were veterans, some archers from the State of Chen were also assigned to them. After all, the archers from the State of Chen were really powerful.

When Chen Guodubo saw Yuan's army getting closer, he couldn't help but get nervous. He swallowed and his heart instantly rose to his throat.

He lowered his voice and whispered in Huo Du's ear: "Huo Sima, Yuan Jun. Yuan Jun has arrived within our range. Shall we shoot arrows?"

"Wait a moment." Unlike Chen Guodubo who was nervous, Huo Du and many veterans were surprisingly calm.

If Huo Du and others had not been so close, Chen Guodu might have thought that the other party was a stubborn stone that could not make any sound.

Especially when looking at the calm Huo Du, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Liu Bei had so many talented people under his command.

He originally thought that the gap between them and Liu Bei's soldiers was just a lack of experience, but he never expected that even a young general could be so calm and steady.

The gap was so huge that he couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, a touch of admiration rose in his heart.

Huo Du ignored Chen Guodu's thoughts, and he didn't have the time to care about the other party's thoughts.

All his attention was focused on the approaching reinforcements of Yuan's army. He always kept in mind Liu Bei's orders not to alert the enemy before the fish took the bait.

Even though Yuan's reinforcements were within range, he remained unmoved. He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for the fish to take the bait.

The opportunity was when Yuan’s reinforcements triggered the trap.

As reinforcements, they naturally had to rely on traps. The traps used in war were not as simple as those used for hunting. Of course, even the traps used in war were of the same type as those used for hunting, including pit traps, lasso traps, and net traps.

These traps were somewhat time-consuming and labor-intensive, so Liu Bei came up with a completely new idea.

Dig out a small hole, put wooden spikes in the hole, cover the hole with thin wooden boards, and finally cover the boards with sand. In this way, the trap blends into the surrounding environment and is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Apart from the advantage of being difficult to be discovered, it can also temporarily make the enemy soldiers who step into the trap lose their combat capability, and at the same time create panic among the enemy.

When Liu Bei proposed this idea, Huo Du was so impressed that he asked to ambush on the front line of the battlefield.

Just when the Huainan generals dropped their guard and kept urging them to hurry, something strange happened!

A soldier stepped on the ground in front of him, but something no one could have expected happened.

There was a snap.

His foot missed the target and he stepped heavily into the hole.

The soldiers around didn't take it seriously at first. After all, it was easy to just pull their legs out of such a small pit.

The next moment, the soldier who stepped into the trap's face changed drastically. His normal facial features were squeezed together because of pain. He covered his right leg and let out a hoarse wail.

"Ahhh! Feet, my feet!"

The sudden change made the other soldiers stunned. What happened? ! Could it be that there was something else in the pit? !
Time waits for no one, and they don't have time to think too much.

The wailing sounds came one after another from all over the army, and the entire army was immediately thrown into disarray. At the same time, in the mountains and forests, Huo Du, who saw all of this, realized that the time had come.

He immediately ordered, "Shoot, shoot!"

"Shhhhhh!"

The sound of arrows cutting through the air was heard, and countless arrows rained down on Yuan’s reinforcements from the hills on both sides.

This made the situation even worse for Yuan's reinforcements, whose morale was already in chaos.

The soldiers ran away in panic, screaming: "Ambush, ambush!"

Many soldiers stepped into the traps in panic, and the spikes pierced their feet in an instant, causing great pain and making them let out heart-wrenching wails.

Seeing the situation rapidly slipping towards an irreversible point, the generals realized the seriousness of the problem. They screamed at the top of their lungs: "Raise your shields! Raise your shields! Liu Xuande's main force is not here, not here! Don't panic!"

However, the generals' voices were soon drowned out by the wails of the soldiers, but not all the generals were fools.

Some generals continued to send out their personal guards, and finally managed to stabilize some of the soldiers.

Liu Bei, who had seen all this through the telescope, naturally could not let them succeed. He drew the sword from his waist and ordered the guards beside him, "Hurry up and wave the flags and shout, and beat the drums!"

"The rest of my comrades, follow me and charge!"

Liu Bei raised his sword high and pointed it at the reinforcements of Yuan army in front of him.

The soldiers behind him held their weapons and responded to Liu Bei with full energy, "Yes!"

As the drums sounded, Liu Bei took the lead and led thousands of soldiers to charge towards Yuan’s reinforcements.

The sound of drums from behind the army made the hearts of the Huainan generals tremble, and a chill rushed from their tailbone to their foreheads.

"Oh no! Why did the drums suddenly sound behind the army? Could it be that we have fallen into Liu Xuande's encirclement?!"

The generals' faces turned pale and they looked towards the mountains behind them.

The trees on the mountain were shaking, the flags were waving, and the sound was so loud that it seemed as if the entire mountain was shaking! The soldiers were rushing towards them like a flood of beasts, as if there were thousands of troops hidden on the mountain!
The generals were horrified and so confused that they did not notice the problem at all and failed to realize that Liu Bei's army was not coming out in full force.

Some generals were so shocked that they shouted, "Liu Xuande! It must be Liu Xuande's ambush! Didn't they say that Liu Xuande didn't have any extra troops to besiege Shouchun? Where did Liu Xuande get such an army? Could it be that Liu Xuande is a ghost?!"

These words made the already panicked army even more confused.

Some generals who had temporarily escaped from the fear of Liu Bei's reputation suddenly felt dizzy when they heard this man's words, and cursed in their hearts, saying that he was not capable of accomplishing anything and was more likely to cause harm!
With beads of sweat on their foreheads, they tried to speak out to comfort the emperor, but before they could finish their words, a terrifying roar came from behind.

"I am a relative of the Han Dynasty, General Liu Bei Liu Xuande! I advise you not to put up a meaningless resistance! You have been surrounded by our army! If you surrender, I will not kill you!"

This powerful voice blocked everyone's words. Many generals retreated one after another, their lips trembling, "Liu Liu Xuande, it's really Liu Xuande!"

Most of the soldiers dropped their weapons and shouted, "General Wei, we surrender! We surrender!"

"Not good! Come on, anyone who dares to surrender will die!"

The Huainan generals propped themselves up with the help of their personal guards, and a fierce look flashed in their eyes. They knew that according to Liu Bei's request, they would all die. Since they were all going to die, why not give it a try? !

As soon as the soldiers dropped their weapons, they were stabbed to death by the general's personal soldiers behind them.

Liu Bei knew very well that it would be difficult to make the other side surrender without getting rid of the leading general.

Liu Bei growled, "Comrades, follow me!"

The generals shouted in panic: "Come here! Stop Liu Xuande, stop Liu Xuande! If you can stop Liu Xuande, I will reward you handsomely! A huge reward!"

Facing the interception of Yuan's army, Liu Bei blocked the attack with one sword and counterattacked with the other sword at lightning speed. The enemy soldier didn't even have time to retract his sword. He saw a flash of white light, felt a sharp pain in his chest, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground without a sound.

The soldiers beside Liu Bei also used the same two-handed sword technique, one sword for defense and the other for attack, attacking left and right, and taking care of each other!
The hastily organized Yuan army was completely no match for these skilled veterans and was defeated almost at the first sight!
The Huainan generals swallowed their saliva, as if thunder had exploded in their minds. They looked at the nearly collapsed rear army in amazement, "This, this is Gu Yingfa! Liu Xuande's famous skill! Surprisingly, even ordinary soldiers can use such superb swordsmanship!!!"

At this moment, even the calmest general was panicked. Liu Xuande alone was enough to make people very afraid.

And these soldiers actually knew how to use Liu Xuande's swordsmanship. In this case, weren't they facing thousands of little Liu Xuandes? !
This is not Liu Xuande's main force. What is Liu Xuande? !

How can we fight this!

Shouchun has misled me!
The Huainan generals reached a unanimous idea at this moment, which was - escape!
Their guards warned: "General, this won't work! The road ahead is full of traps!"

"A trap?!" The general grabbed the guard's collar and shouted angrily, "Are the traps more scary than Liu Xuande in the back? If there is a trap, let those soldiers step on it! If we don't leave now, we will probably die under Liu Xuande's sword!"

How could Huo Du on the mountain let them succeed?
Seeing that the Huainan generals wanted to escape, Huo Du immediately ordered, "Comrades, follow me!"

Huo Du mobilized the elite soldiers on the hills on both sides, and they followed Huo Du's footsteps and rushed towards Yuan's army. They were like two sharp knives, easily breaking through Yuan's army's formation.

As time went by, the sun moved from the east to the west. Liu Bei, fighting bravely, rushed to the general of Yuan army and cut off his head with a sword to his astonishment.

Under the sun, Liu Bei held up the enemy's head, with the flag embroidered with the Chinese character "Liu" fluttering in the wind behind him. He took a deep breath and shouted the decisive words, "The enemy general has been beheaded, why don't you surrender?!"

The soldiers of Yuan army looked at this scene in a daze. First, the sword in the hand of a soldier fell to the ground with a clang, and then two or three soldiers, and then all the soldiers dropped their swords.

This encounter ended with Liu Bei's victory.

However, Liu Bei did not let his guard down. Winning was just the beginning, and there were many things to deal with later.

For example, the injuries of the warriors in the same robe and the surrendered soldiers, especially the injuries of the surrendered soldiers who stepped into the trap.

Liu Bei murmured: "Fortunately, my comrades can easily treat the wounds."

宛陵
The news that Liu Bei had defeated the generals of Huainan spread to Wanling, which made Liu Yao applaud and said, "Great, great, great! General Wei is really amazing!"

Fan Neng and Zhang Ying looked at each other in bewilderment when they were urgently summoned.

"I know that defeating the Huainan generals is indeed good news, but why is the envoy so happy? With Wu Jing blocking the way, we can't rush to help General Wei."

"I do not know!"

Yu Mi looked at the two helplessly and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency is the descendant of King Qi, and General Wei is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. King Qi and King Jing of Zhongshan were both great kings of the Former Han Dynasty. In today's Han Dynasty, they have long lost their thrones. Perhaps your Excellency thinks that General Wei is of the same kind as himself, so he is so happy."

Yu Mi didn't know whether the two understood or not, he only saw Fan Neng and Zhang Ying nodded, "I see!"

Just when Liu Yao was about to say something, a messenger suddenly came in and reported, "Report, there is someone outside the envoy's residence who calls himself Liu Chong, saying that he is the envoy's uncle and wants to see the envoy!"

Fan Neng and Zhang Ying were both stunned. Ah, Liu Chong? Didn't Liu Sikong die a long time ago?
Where did this Liu Chong come from?

Yu Mi glanced at the two people's strange expressions and said, "I think it's King Chen who is visiting."
