The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 70 070 General Gao Shun
Gao Shun took the lead, with a strong hand, stepped on the ladder and climbed up the city wall, holding the ladder with one hand, and waving the saber in his hand with the other to block the incoming arrows.

Seeing that he was about to climb to the top of the city, several Cao soldiers stabbed at him with their spears. Gao Shun swung his knife and cut off the stabbing spears. He suddenly let go of the ladder with his left hand, grabbed the broken spears, and borrowed his strength. Jumped onto the top of the city and became the first person to climb the tower.

Standing on the top of the city, Gao Shun cut down several Cao soldiers one after another by virtue of his bravery, for a moment he made a stand on the top of the city.

Several soldiers followed Gao Shun, climbed to the top of the city one after another, fought side by side with Gao Shun, and killed Cao soldiers who came to attack one after another.

More and more soldiers climbed the city wall, Cao Bing couldn't resist, and Xiahou Dun, who was in charge of defending the city, had no choice but to order to retreat into the city.

Lu Bu at the bottom of the city saw that Gao Shun had completely occupied the top of the city, his blood was boiling, he tightly held the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, even the red rabbit horse under his seat was spinning around in place, impatiently wanting to rush over, A bloody battle with Cao Jun.

With a loud "click", Gao Shun cut off the flag of Cao Jun hanging on the top of the city, and led the soldiers to kill into the city.

Gao Shun led a total of 800 soldiers, all of whom were tigers and wolves recruited from his hometown in Bingzhou. They were well-equipped with armor and weapons, strictly observed military discipline, well-equipped, and were quite brave in battle.

Every time Gao Shun led this troop to attack the enemy camp, he could quickly capture the enemy camp, and he was invincible, so the troop he led was called "Trapped Camp".

It's just that after many bloody battles in the camp, the number of soldiers has been continuously reduced. Today, there are only more than 700 people, but they are called thousands of people.

Gao Shun led his army into the city, and had a bloody battle with Cao Jun led by Xiahou Dun at the gate of the city.

At the same time, Zhang Yan led the army to the south gate of Juancheng. Xiahou Dun's general Han Hao was in charge of guarding the south gate. There were not many troops in the city. When another army arrived, they transferred the soldiers guarding the south gate to guard the north gate, so that Han Hao only had a few hundred soldiers under his command.

Seeing Zhang Yan leading the army coming, Han Hao knew that the defense was hopeless, so he took all the troops away and rushed into the city to find Xiahou Dun.

Zhang Yan and Yu Jin led the army to the south gate. They were overjoyed to see that there was not a single soldier defending the city tower.

Yu Jin even volunteered to climb the city wall with ropes.With agility, he first put a rope around the battlements, then pulled the ropes and climbed up, and soon reached the city wall.

A moment later, the south gate of Juancheng opened, and Zhang Yan led the army directly into the city. Under Yu Jin's leadership, they ran towards the place where Cao Cao's family lived.

In the north of Juancheng, after the city gate was opened, Lu Bu took the lead and rushed into the city first. He waved Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, killed the Cao soldiers who stood in front of him, and went straight to Xiahou Dun.

Seeing Lv Bu's menacing approach, Xiahou Dun knew Lv Bu's bravery well, so he guessed that he was no match, so he turned his horse and retreated towards the south of the city with his entourage.

He had just walked a few steps when he saw Han Hao galloping in a panic from the south of the city, and hurriedly asked, "You're not stationed at the south gate, what are you doing here?"

Han Hao hurriedly said: "General Qi, Xuzhou soldiers have come from the south of the city. Now Juancheng has been caught in a pincer attack from two sides. Our army is small and it is not suitable to fight here for a long time. The general can still withdraw from Juancheng at this time, and it will be later." , it’s too late to leave.”

After Xiahou Dun heard this, he made a decisive decision and immediately led Han Hao to retreat to the east of the city.

Although Juancheng had only two gates, south and north, there was a section of waterway in the east of the city. Xiahou Dun and Han Hao arrived at the pier in the east of the city, boarded a few small boats, set fire to the horse's head, and left Juancheng quickly.

Under the leadership of Yu Jin, Xuzhou soldiers came straight to Cao Cao's mansion, but unfortunately the mansion was empty, even all the belongings, bedding, and clothes in the mansion were taken away, leaving only a mess of broken furniture. The family members who came to Cao Cao have already been transferred.

Zhang Yan made a fuss, but he didn't care, so he led Yu Jin and others to rush to the city again, just in time to meet Cao Bing who had retreated from the north of the city.

Xiahoudun and Han Hao fled. Cao's soldiers were leaderless and unable to resist Lv Bu's and Gao Shun's advance, they all retreated south one after another without the will to fight.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Xuzhou soldiers led by Zhang Yan again. These Cao soldiers knew that they could not resist, so they dropped their weapons one after another, knelt down on the side of the road, and surrendered to Zhang Yan.

Before Zhang Yan could speak, Lu Bu led his troops from the north of the city. Seeing Cao's soldiers throwing away their helmets and armor, they knelt down on the ground, as if they were surrendering to Zhang Yan.

Lu Bu hastily reined in the horses and stopped the army. He asked loudly, "General Zhang, these Cao soldiers were chased by me from the north gate, but now they surrender to you. You have taken a big advantage."

"General Lu, you led your army to fight bloody battles with Cao's soldiers, and knocked open the north gate of Juancheng. Although these Cao soldiers surrendered to me, I will not take advantage of it. Please ask General Lu to take these surrendered soldiers away." Let's go." Zhang Yan didn't want to have any trouble with Lu Bu because of the 300 surrendered troops, so he said immediately.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Since these Cao soldiers have already surrendered to you, they are your soldiers. How can I have the nerve to ask for your soldiers? General Zhang, you should take them away. It's cheap, even if I give them away." Give General Zhang a greeting gift, how about we make friends?"

Zhang Yan was a little surprised when he heard that Lu Bu wanted to make friends with him.However, Zhang Yan thinks it is very good to have a friend like Lu Bu.

Therefore, Zhang Yan clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to General Lu, I'm very considerate, this friend, Zhang Yan has made a decision."

"Okay, to make a long story short, we use this line as the boundary. The south of the city belongs to you, and the north belongs to me. The two armies are not allowed to cross the boundary. No matter what happens within the boundaries of either side, the other side must not interfere. What do you think?" Lu Bu held his hand Fang Tian drew a halberd, drew a line on the road, and said to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan didn't understand what Lu Bu's intention was, but he nodded in agreement.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "General Zhang is refreshing. From now on, we will use this line as a boundary, and each of us will do our own thing. No one should interfere."

"Ok."

Lu Bu turned his horse's head and said to Gao Shun: "Use this line as a benchmark, and you lead your troops to garrison this line. Anyone who crosses this line without my order will be shot to death!"

Gao Shun clasped his fists and said, "Here!"

Once the order was issued, Gao took this line as the benchmark and lined up his subordinates in a straight line, ready to fight.

Lu Bu rode his horse to the middle of the team and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's start hunting!"

Following Lu Bu's order, the morale of the army led by Lu Bu suddenly rose, and everyone shouted loudly, and their expressions were even more joyful.

After a while, Lu Bu's subordinates all dispersed, turned around, headed north of the city, and began to loot the area north of the city.

All of a sudden, the people located in the north of Juancheng fell into the abyss. Anyone who resisted was killed by Lu Jun. Lu Jun's soldiers wantonly plundered the people's property, killed people indiscriminately, raped women, and committed all kinds of crimes. , venting their most primitive sins on this land to their heart's content.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Yan finally figured out why Lu Bu drew a line on the ground and sent Gao Shun to guard the line. The purpose was to prevent him from interfering.

Zhang Yan noticed that Gao Shun, who was guarding that line, also showed a trace of impatience in his eyes, as if he didn't agree with Lu Bu's evil deeds, but he was helpless.

Gao Shun is tall and burly, with a stern face, and a deep scar on his left cheek, which makes him look a little chilling.

Zhang Yan looked at Gao Shun for a while, he was familiar with the history, he knew that Gao Shun was innocent and dignified, he didn't like drinking, and he was a brave general under Lv Bu's tent, he followed Lv Bu to fight, worked hard and was loyal.

He sighed softly, feeling that it was a pity that such a talented general should be under Lu Bu's subordinates.

Juancheng is divided into north and south, the north of the city is like hell, while the south of the city is very peaceful.However, the people in the south of the city still fled with their families because they were afraid of being implicated.

Zhang Yan did not stop them, but led them to go to Changyi, because he did not plan to stay in Juancheng for a long time, and he was worried that if he led his army to leave tomorrow, Lu Bu's soldiers would turn around and burn and kill the south of the city. loot.

In the evening, Juancheng basically entered a calm state, and the north of the city was filled with the smell of blood. Lv Bu's soldiers burned, killed and looted in the north of the city. The horse will act recklessly, as long as it survives.

I thought I could escape Lu Bu's clutches by doing this, but I didn't know that Lu Bu made a more ruthless move. He drove all the people in the north of the city into a deep pit dug in advance, and even ordered them to be killed. .

And the people in the south of the city, under Zhang Yan's guidance, withdrew from Juancheng one after another, heading south all the way towards Changyi City.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Juancheng. The originally prosperous city was now lifeless. Lu Bu's soldiers and horses withdrew from the north of the city and stationed outside the city.

Later, Zhang Yan also ordered to withdraw from the city and stationed in the south of the city.

Yu Jin came to Zhang Yan's side and was really puzzled by Zhang Yan's order. He asked, "My lord, since our army came to Juancheng and got nothing, it's better to retreat back to Changyi as soon as possible. Stationed?"

Zhang Yandao: "Yanzhou is in great chaos. Cao Cao will definitely lead his army back when he receives the news. After all, Cao Cao still has tens of thousands of troops. If he wants to recapture Yanzhou, it will not be a problem at all. The reason why I chose to stay here overnight is to cooperate with Lu Bu. Form an ally and jointly defend against Cao Cao."

While talking, someone came to report that Lu Bu had sent an envoy to meet Zhang Yan.So he asked someone to bring the envoy sent by Lu Bu here to meet him.

Not long after, the envoy was brought before Zhang Yan. The envoy was none other than Chen Gong, the former prefect of Dongjun under Cao Cao's tent.
