Soldiers come to the world

Ling Bao led [-] soldiers to chase northward. It wasn't that he wanted to cut off the ox cart to make a fortune, but that he wanted to take a gamble in his heart. He wanted to make a great contribution and cut down this logistics convoy, giving the Jingzhou army a heavy blow. .

In this way, Wu Yi could know that he could not be suppressed if he wanted to, so that Zhang Ren could back him up and give Wu Yi a resounding slap in the face.

Eager to perform meritorious service, Ling Bao forgot about the danger and devoted himself to chasing after the Jingzhou army's logistics team. He was so overwhelmed by the desire to perform meritorious service that he completely forgot about Huang Zhong's army.

After passing Wuyang County, we entered the continuous mountain range and hilly area. This mountain range is called Pengshan. According to legend, it is the place where Peng Zu’s bones are buried. In the Sichuan Central Plain, the mountains are full of ravines, and there are many huge canyons.

Ling Baobao led the army to rush along the official road in the rolling hills. This is an abandoned official road. Although it is covered with weeds, it can still be used for bullock carts. On both sides are low hills and dense forests. , looked extraordinarily cold and lonely under the moonlight.

The team chased for more than [-] miles, and gradually, under the moonlight, they saw the bullock cart in front of them, which was rumbling northward, with dust flying, Ling Bao was overjoyed, and ordered: "Catch up with the bullock cart!"

The soldiers scrambled to catch up, getting closer to the ox cart. At this moment, there was a sound of clappers in the woods on both sides, and dense arrows shot out from the woods. Ling Bao's army was caught off guard and fell to the ground screaming. Suddenly, a large area fell, and at this time, flames were everywhere, and an army rushed out from the woods. The general at the head was Huang Zhong, and he shouted: "The thief general, take your life!"

Ling Bao was so frightened that she turned around and fled. Their soldiers were also frightened by the cold arrows from the sneak attack and the enemy's ambush. Before he gave an order, they scrambled to run back.

At this time, ambush soldiers came from both sides, cutting off the way of the deserters. The Yizhou army resisted, and they knelt down and surrendered, begging. [

Ling Bao rode fast, rushed through the ambushes first, and led hundreds of people to flee towards Wuyang City, but just after running for less than two miles, the front was full of flames, and another army blocked the way.

Ling Bao reined in his horse and looked around for a way to escape. He found that not only the front, but also the front, rear, left and right had rushed out of ambushes, and thousands of people surrounded them.

At this time, Yan Yan came out from the team and shouted at him sharply: "General Ling, even the old man has surrendered to Jingzhou, if you don't surrender now, when will you wait?"

Ling Bao was desperation, and thought about Wu Yi being mean to him, why should he sacrifice his life for Liu Xun, he couldn't help but sighed, got off his horse, and surrendered on the side of the road.

After the main general surrendered, the soldiers threw away their weapons and surrendered one after another. This time in an ambush, Huang Zhong captured the enemy general Ling Bao and surrendered without any effort.

Ling Bao led the army to chase after the Jingzhou army, Deng Xian was fidgeting in the city, although he hated Ling Bao for not listening to his general's orders, but Ling Bao was Zhang Ren's confidant after all, if something happened to him, he would not be able to explain to Zhang Ren .

Deng Xian then sent people outside the city to inquire about the news, but he did not find any information about the brigade of enemy troops going north, which made him feel slightly relieved.

At three o'clock, Deng Xian had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a knock on the door, and a soldier reported from the outside: "General Qi, General Ling is back, come to count the ox carts!"

Deng Xian was overjoyed and hurriedly put on his armor and ran to the north city. He ran up the city and looked down.

Seeing Deng Xian coming out, Ling Bao laughed triumphantly and said: "General Deng, I returned with a full load, but they are all good things, and I can give you some of them."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the oilcloth on an ox cart, and the soldiers at the top of the city suddenly exclaimed. Under the firelight, the ox cart was full of yellow copper coins, and each copper coin shone with a dazzling metallic luster. More than a dozen bullock carts are made of high-quality copper coins, which make people's eyes turn red.

Deng Xian secretly despised Ling Bao in his heart, but so many copper coins could just be used to reward soldiers, so he immediately ordered: "Kaicheng!"

The city gate creaked open, the drawbridge was lowered, Ling Bao ordered the soldiers and ox carts to enter the city, and groups of soldiers escorted the ox carts into the city.

When there were more than a hundred bullock carts left, they stopped suddenly. Deng Xian frowned, leaned out and shouted: "Why don't you go to the city? What are you dawdling about?"

Suddenly a soldier pointed and shouted not far away: "General, there is an enemy situation!"

I saw a dense crowd of soldiers killing out in the darkness, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and a general was leading several soldiers towards the city gate. Deng Xian was shocked and shouted repeatedly: "Close the city gate quickly! Close the city gate!"

The city gate was blocked by bullock carts, the suspension bridge could not be pulled up, and the city gate could not be closed. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of killing in the city. Deng Xian turned his head suddenly, only to hear a soldier shouting: "Ling! The general rebelled, and his soldiers rebelled."

In Deng Xian's head, 'hum! He suddenly understood that when Ling Bao was chasing the ox cart, there must have been an accident. Ling Bao surrendered to the Jingzhou army and came to lie to the city. Hui, he knew very well that Wuyang City was over.

This was Sima Yi's plan to deceive the city. He was sure that Wu Yi would not place heavy troops in Wuyang County. As soon as Wu Yi's army left, they could implement the plan to deceive the city.

Luring the defenders in the city to chase the ox carts is one of the strategies. If this strategy fails, Sima Yi has a second strategy, which is to throw hundreds of ox carts by the side of the road. When the defenders drive the ox carts into the city, ambush them. In a surprise attack, the bullock carts will inevitably block the city gate, making it impossible to advance or retreat, and the ambush can take the opportunity to seize the city.

It's just that Ling Bao was eager to make a contribution, so he didn't need to use the second plan, but he fell for the first plan and led the Jingzhou army to defraud Wuyang City.

There was no suspense in the battle, and Yizhou soldiers surrendered one after another. Deng Xian wanted to escape from Ximen, but was caught by the Ximen defenders and escorted to offer meritorious service.

In the temporary camp, Huang Zhong ordered someone to reward the soldiers who captured Deng Xian, and then he smiled at Deng Xian: "General Deng, is he willing to surrender?"

Deng Xian bowed his head and said nothing, Huang Zhong persuaded again: "General Deng is also from Ba, how could he not know that Liu Zhoumu killed all the barbarian soldiers in order to protect the Ba people, and even General Deng's parents and relatives were sheltered, as the saying goes, a bird chooses a good tree And Qi, even if General Deng doesn't want to be grateful, he should know that surrendering to Liu Zhoumu is the wisest strategy, why bother to sacrifice his life for Liu Xun, who was slaughtered by his brother, and defend Chengdu that is about to be destroyed?"

Every sentence hit Deng Xian's heart. He thought of the Ba people's gratitude to Liu Jing, how could he not be tempted, and also thought that Liu Xun's reputation was not right, and the enemy would kill brothers. Not worthy of his allegiance.

Deng Xian sighed, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists high and said: "Deng Xian is willing to surrender to Jingzhou and serve Liu Jingzhou!"

Huang Zhong was overjoyed, and quickly helped Deng Xian up, "I knew General Deng was an upright person, and I assure you, Liu Zhoumu will never treat him badly."

Deng Xian saluted again, "Thank you, General Huang."

At this time, a soldier came into the tent and whispered something to Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was taken aback, "How could this be?"

"Excuse me, old general, what happened?" Deng Xian asked a little uneasy.

Huang Zhong sighed, "Prefect Jiang refused to surrender, the whole family committed suicide by taking poison!"

Deng Xian was sad, and said for a while: "I have a long-standing friendship with Taishou Jiang, please allow me to bury them, old general."

Huang Zhong nodded, "It can be buried with the honor of the eunuch!"

Huang Zhong rectified and surrendered for two days, and then according to Liu Jing's order, he appointed Deng Zhi as Qian as the prefect, and gave him [-] soldiers, and then he and Yan Yan led the army to continue northward.

In Chengdu, Liu Jing led [-] Jingzhou's main force to reach the largest city in Bashu. The warships are full of Minjiang River. The Jingzhou army has built a military camp in the wilderness two miles west of the city. The Jingzhou army is not in a hurry to attack the city. However, Liu Jing hoped to force Liu Xun to surrender with great pressure.

When Liu Jing led the army to arrive, Xu Jing, the prime minister of Shu County, surrendered Liu Jing first. Not far from the city, Liu Jing was patrolling along the city under the protection of hundreds of personal guards and a dozen generals.

Chengdu City deserves to be the No. [-] city in Bashu. The city wall is tall and strong, and the city head is wide enough to run horses. There are perforations, observation holes and catapult slides. The widest moat I have ever seen is built with ordinary planks.

But this is not difficult for Liu Jing, because the moat is connected to the outer river, ships can sail into the moat, and a pontoon bridge can be built quickly, and the moat is so wide that it leaves a loophole instead.

"How deep is the moat?" Liu Jing asked Xu Jing with a smile.

Xu Jing was about 60 years old. In his early years, he and his younger brother Xu Shao were famous for criticizing people. He was very old in the imperial court. The prefect of the county was gradually neglected by Liu Zhang because he was squeezed out by the local clan of Bashu, so it was also an idle job to be the governor of Shu County.

But Liu Jing respected him quite a bit, and showed that he would reuse him, which made Xu Jing excited, and he quickly replied: "The silt was only cleared this spring, and it was about ten feet deep."

"One zhang!"

Liu Jing was quite satisfied with this answer. He raised his horsewhip and pointed at another natural river not far away from the moat and asked, "Excuse me, Jun Cheng, what is the name of that river?"

Xu Jing hurriedly cupped his fists again and said, "This river is named Jin River, it runs through the whole city and directly leads to the Minjiang River, and there is a water gate at the entrance to the city."

Liu Jing nodded, urged his horse to come to the Jin River, and carefully looked at the river. It was the same as the moat, about four or five feet wide, and it should flow northward into the Min River. He immediately ordered his soldiers to say, "Test the water depth!"

Several soldiers tested the depth of the water with spears, and reported: "The depth of the water is more than one foot, about one foot two three."

Liu Jing smiled and asked Xu Jing, "Is there a water gate at the entrance at the other end?"

"Reporting to Zhou Mu, this is the north of the city, and there is also a water gate in the east of the city."

Liu Jing knows the water gate very well, he knows the weakness of the water gate, he leaned forward and squinted his eyes to look inside the water gate, through the iron gate, he could faintly see the urn city inside, which was exactly the same structure as Chaisang Water City, he couldn't help laughing , "Is this built by the same person as Chaisang?"

On the top of the city, Liu Xun was supporting the top of the city and staring at Liu Jing in the distance. The distance was less than a hundred steps. He observed the city as he wished, pointed to east and west, and provoked him so recklessly that Liu Xun's face turned livid. He turned back and asked : "Is it possible to shoot him with an arrow?"

The guards all shook their heads, "My lord, his distance is just beyond the range of the bow and crossbow, so I'm afraid it's hard to hit him."

At this time, Zhang Ren said coldly: "Others can't, but I can!"

He took off his three-stone hard bow, pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, opened the bow and set the arrow, and suddenly pulled the string. The bow string was like a full moon. He squinted and aimed at Liu Jing. When the string was loosened, a powerful arrow Spike arrows shot towards Liu Jing like lightning.
