Lu's relatives

Chapter 422

Outside the city of Pingyuan, more than [-] Youzhou soldiers carrying siege ladders, desperately fighting for a promise that may never be obtained, scrambled towards the plains, which the general of the army said could basically be "negligible" in terms of defense. Charged towards the city, amidst the roaring and shouting, the momentum of thousands of people was actually created like tens of thousands of people attacking together, with the momentum to level the plain.

But judging from Ping Yuan's reaction, it was obviously unsatisfactory.Except that the archers on the city wall counterattacked sharply. With a volley, they shot some Youzhou soldiers who were rushing forward, blocking them by the moat, which could only be regarded as a decoration.However, on the wall of Pingyuan City, which is no thicker than two arms, there are actually not many people standing on it. On the wall of the Weng City, which is no more than twenty feet long and directly facing the incoming soldiers, there are only a few hundred people who can support the sky.It still feels a bit crowded, and it makes people worry whether the wall made of rammed earth will collapse due to manpower.It's no wonder that Guan and Zhang, who can be regarded as people who have lived in the battlefield for a long time, dared to attack the city with a mere four thousand soldiers.

"Second brother, don't even mention it. The soldiers led by the slaves of the three surnames Lu Bu are really good. They can stop us from attacking the city in a hurry, and our casualties are not small. It is really difficult for these people. Look at this Posture, those people should come out, right?" Seeing that although the Youzhou soldiers in the formation were temporarily shot down, they were still advancing unstoppably, Zhang Fei was quite bored, pulling on his horsewhip, A pair of ring eyes, just staring at the east and west sides of Pingyuan City, which has not moved much until now.

"Don't worry! Lu Bu's army is known as the best in the world, and Zhang Wenyuan, the guard in this city, is also a hero. He should not be underestimated. Even if he is suddenly attacked, he can react like this. Naturally, he will not be like Liu He, Xian Yufu, etc. Like the so-called allied forces of the past, when our army charged, he showed his cowardice and lost his position, which was taken advantage of by our army." Guan Yu was riding on a yellow horse, squinting his eyes and stroking his beard all the time, like a jujube On the red face, there has been no change in expression since the war. At this moment, when Zhang Fei asked, he slightly opened his red phoenix eyes, and said lightly: "Just look at the four thousand soldiers of our army. The Baifu soldiers stopped the time for almost a stick of incense, and it can be seen that this Wen Yuan has a good way of training soldiers, and Lu Bu used this general to garrison the plains, and he really got it."

"Second Brother, do you recognize this Pingyuan Guard?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise after hearing what Guan Yu said, as if he admired Zhang Liao very much, with an incredulous expression on his face.Guan Yu's temperament is quite arrogant. Except for his three brothers, he has always been seldom interested in other people. After knowing each other for so many years, to be honest, Zhang Fei has never heard such praise from Guan Yu. The words of an enemy general.

"They are about to lose their hold. The defenders in the city must be leaving the city too. Third brother, go get ready!" Guan Yu just nodded to Zhang Fei's question and did not answer directly. Enter the army soldier, said suddenly.

"Finally came out. I thought I had been huddled in Pingyuan City all this time. Grandpa Zhang San had been waiting for too long! Second brother, I'll go first." Zhang Fei was distracted by Guan Yu's words and did not continue. After further questioning, it was found that the frequency of Pingyuan soldiers shooting arrows on the city wall dropped a lot, and his own soldiers finally approached the Pingyuan city after paying a considerable price. Zhang Fei licked his lips excitedly, and held his hands. Zhang Ba Snake Spear, and Guan Yu informed him, and then led the army towards the east of the city.

"Wen Yuan, when I was in the village, I heard of your great name of righteousness. Guan has been thinking about it for a long time, but unexpectedly we met in this situation! If we are lucky enough to meet each other, we will use this green dragon knife to meet you." You are an old friend who has not met yet!" Guan Yu closed his eyes and muttered to himself, and Dan Feng's eyes that opened suddenly flashed, and he also gathered his horse's head, and led his [-] cavalry to the west of the city.

"General Cheng, do you remember Mr. Wen He's orders? This time, it is a matter of the safety of Pingyuan City, so don't be careless." In Pingyuan City, Zhang Liao, who didn't know that he was "concerned" by Guan Yu, was preparing his cavalry. Seeing Cheng Lian approaching from a distance, he didn't seem to care much at all, Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows slightly, and reminded him.

"Ha, remember, remember! Wen Yuan is also careful! We have more than ten thousand cavalry!" Although Cheng Lian is older than Zhang Liao in terms of qualifications, he also understands Zhang Liao's ability. Zhang Liao, who valued him very much, was also very polite. Seeing that Zhang Liao's kind reminder seemed to be somewhat of a duty, he was not angry. There are only 5000 people, and [-] of them are infantry attacking the city. There are only a thousand people left that we want to deal with. In other words, we are exhausted by the city and have to defend the city. If we go out of the city this time, maybe we don’t bother Wenyuan and you, and we can swallow up the [-] cavalry with the [-] brothers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion. What are you afraid of? Can you conjure soldiers and horses out of thin air?"

"It's better to be careful! Mr. Wen He said that this time I don't want to kill the enemy, but to hold him back. These people may have some connection with the person who killed General Song. It is exactly what the Lord wants to find." The master must decide who is right and left." Zhang Liao didn't have any prejudice against Cheng Lian at all, but he just had some objections when he saw that Cheng Lian didn't take the war seriously in the face of the enemy.And Cheng Lian's words are not unreasonable, even Zhang Liao is not very nervous about the incoming soldiers. The siege of 4000 people was resisted by hundreds of archers for almost half an hour. That's all.As Cheng Lian said, there are still more than [-] cavalry on my side, and with the arrangement of the right army division Jia Xu, nothing really happens if I think about it.As the first two high-ranking generals of the Lv Bu army who were released by Lv Bu to lead troops to guard one side alone, the two were actually passable in terms of face.Besides, Zhang Liao also knew that Cheng Lian was trusted by Lu Bu and had a very good personal relationship with Qin Xu, so he didn't want to talk too rigidly because of such a trivial matter, so he nodded and said.

"That's natural! That's natural!" Cheng Lian chuckled and nodded casually. Seeing that Zhang Liao was preparing to send troops at this moment, he also nodded hastily. He was already waiting for him in the direction of the east gate. The soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion who can attack at the order go.

"Old man, why haven't Qin Shijun and General Lu returned to the army? It's only fifty miles away, why haven't there been any news for so long? They've all been killed outside the city! Sir, can the plain be held this time?" After Zhang Liao and Chenglian had a brief conversation, when the appointed time came, each city gate was opened and troops were dispatched to deal with the danger of the incoming troops to relieve Pingyuan. The chaotic Zhen Jiang was standing in front of Jia Xu, asking anxiously.She didn't look like the strong woman who was in control of everything before.

No wonder Zhen Jiang was so anxious.Ever since I learned that Pingyuan was only three or four hours after Lv Bu's army left the city, someone suddenly came to attack the city, and according to the report from Lv Bu's army's scouting horses, the incoming soldiers turned out to be Liu Bei's soldiers from Youzhou. It was to recapture the plains. Seeing that the people on the plains who had been greatly favored by Liu Bei did not show up in time in Lu Bu, and just because of this news caused a lot of commotion, no matter how stupid Zhen Jiang was, he also thought that he had no reason Be an accomplice.Although this "accomplice" felt a little helpless, it didn't hinder Zhen Jiang's uneasy feeling that "something happened" in his heart.Just thinking that it would be better not to cause the plain to fall because of this incident, would be a serious crime.

It's just that people like Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi who are familiar with each other now have all followed Lu Bubing out of Yanchi Mountain, and the only one who has traveled all the way, Zhen Jiang is still acquainted with Cheng Lian, seems to be of little help, even if If there is something to say, it is estimated that if you say it, you are playing the piano with a cow.After counting and counting, there is only Qin's "family general" Jia Wenhe, who seems to be an honest person, and seems to be valued by Qin Xu on weekdays. They could only pin their hopes on this seemingly reliable Confucian scholar, hoping that this old man would find a way to talk to Zhang Liao, and must send troops to chase Lu Bu back.

If Jia Xu knew that the girl in front of her was eager to "beg for help", she would just think of him, the poisonous warrior who almost single-handedly created the three kingdoms in history at the end of Han Dynasty, as a close minister of Qin Xu's mansion, or even as a The characters who run errands and deliver letters don't know how they will feel.

"Hmm! Pingyuan City's defense is weak, it cannot be attacked for a long time, and it cannot be defended for a long time. In addition, the people's hearts are not attached. If you just want to defend it, even with General Lu, it will be difficult!" If you don't look at those eyes that seem to be able to see through the world, Jia Xu's appearance as an honest scholar is indeed very deceptive. No wonder even Zhen Jiang, the second lady of the Zhen family who has a considerable weight in the Zhen family, the leader of the business community in Hebei, lost his eyes in this impatience.After hearing Zhen Jiang's question, Jia Xu shook his head and said with a sour temperament.

"What should I do? Just now I saw that the guards in the city, General Zhang Liao and General Cheng Lian, have already left the city. Could it be that they plan to attack the enemy at the north gate from two directions? I don't know who came up with this bad idea! Since the soldiers can come here With only 5000 people, they dared to choose only the north gate to attack, and did not care about the movements of the east, west and south gates. Obviously, either the leader of the army was an idiot, or he was ready to deal with the other three gates. The soldiers coming from the door are preparing to attack the city. This is something that everyone would have thought of, but why didn’t those two people think of it? Old man, what should I do?” These words were a little out of hand, but Zhen Jiang was not worried My own words will be heard and there will be articles to do.First of all, Zhen Jiang's current status is special, which is almost related to the future of cooperation between the Zhen family and Lu Bu's forces. In other words, as long as Zhen Jiang does not touch the "bottom line" of some people, then Lu Bu's army will not unify Hebei for a day. Zhen Jiang of the Zhen family would not act too much; secondly, Jia Xu's self-protection instinct and protective look are too good. In Zhen Jiang's eyes, there has been no reply since he dragged him to send a letter. It can be seen that Jia Xu, an old and sour scholar, is at best a close minister who writes official documents on behalf of Qin Xu and calculates accounts. Therefore, he has less scruples when it comes to words. The stunned and amused look, in Zhen Jiang's view, was also an expression of self-ashamedness.

"Miss Zhen, what you said is very true! My master Qin Shijun often said that if something goes wrong, it must be a monster. This time, the soldiers dared to attack the city with 4000 people. Although they are familiar with the actual situation in the plain Now, but it can be seen that he must have made sufficient preparations, and the attack is menacing! But there is no need to worry! The two generals Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian are also battle-tested generations. It's irrelevant to the overall situation." Since Zhen Jiang's misunderstanding was clear, Jia Xu didn't bother to bother to explain, and stroked the goatee that Qin Xu criticized endlessly, and revealed some casual news.

"I hope so!" Hearing Jia Xu's words, although he didn't quite believe Jia Xu's judgment, Zhen Jiang's mood was much better, and he nodded and said.

As if to confirm what Jia Xu said.Just when Zhang, Liao and Chenglian led their troops and horses, opened the gates on both sides of the city and went out of the city to join forces at the north gate to attack the incoming enemy, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already made their own preparations.Guan Yu rode a yellow pussy horse that was not very "easy" but could barely bear his own strength. He set up an ambush point early on a low hill near the corner between the west gate and the north gate of Pingyuan City. The terrain here is slightly higher, which is very beneficial for the cavalry to sprint. Although there are only 500 people on your side, as long as you use it well, you only need to wait for soldiers to come out suddenly. The divine power is enough to kill the general with a surprise attack when he has no time to react.As long as the main general dies, even if he is seriously injured, even if the elite soldiers are not disbanded immediately, their combat power will inevitably be greatly reduced. In this way, the difference in combat power between the two can be infinitely narrowed, and the two Fang shortened the gap to the minimum because of the number of soldiers.

Unlike Guan Yu, who is good at using military strategies and tactics, Zhang Fei, who chose to block the incoming soldiers from the east gate, has a simple and tight idea.Before the soldiers arrived, Zhang Fei first ordered his men to find a dense forest to set up camp, and then ordered five hundred soldiers under his command to break some branches in the depths of the forest and tie them on the horse's tail, mopping them back and forth just to stir up dust. He thought he was a suspicious soldier, but Zhang Fei himself only led a hundred people to line up on the road that must pass through the north gate and east gate, waiting to measure the bravery of the general of Lu Bu's army who was already praised by the people as a god.Of course, the best thing is to meet Zhang Wenyuan, the Lu Bujun general whom my second elder brother Guan Yu said was very respected, so that Mr. Zhang can learn a lot and see what kind of hero he is, so that he can let himself The second elder brother whose eyes always grow on the back of his head in front of scholar-bureaucrats looks like this.

"Woo...!!!" With a dull ox horn sound at the north gate of Pingyuan, their "mission" has been completed. There were too many Youzhou soldiers who rushed forward and collapsed.As a result, the casualties of Youzhou soldiers caused by this all of a sudden were even more than before the desperate siege of the city.This really opened the eyes of the soldiers of Lu Bu's army who "watched" such a grand event. After fighting for so many years, it was the first time they saw such a miracle that the city wall collapsed and their lives were lost.But at any rate, these Pingyuan auxiliary soldiers still remembered the orders of their chief general Zhang Liao. After reading the news for a while, they hurriedly sent a signal to Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian with the sound of horns.
Not long after the horn sounded, I saw two cavalry, one black and one red, each with more than [-] men pouring out from the east and west gates of the plain. As a result, the Xiaoqi battalion went up and down, but the actions were quite methodical.But Cheng Lian is not so particular.What scenes did you not see when you fought against the Huns with Lu Bu?Isn't it just a joint attack plus a sneak attack? For Cheng Lian, it was just a trick left over from the past, and he was very familiar with it.The character of the chief general of the first army will often affect the soldiers under his command, such as Cheng Lian, who always pretends to be simple and honest during the day, but everyone in the Lu Bu army knows that Cheng Lian is not a good bird all the time. Be careful, it is extremely easy to be tricked by this guy, if it is not for Qin Xu who seems to be Cheng Lian's natural nemesis, it is impossible to say what kind of "end" Cheng Lian will end up in the end!It goes without saying that the subordinates brought out by such a temperamental general are loyal, but their character is not much better. This is a well-known fact in the current front-line battle order of Lu Bu's army.What's more, in Cheng Lian's words, "I don't know who is making rumors about our old age" and looks like he is going crazy all day long. Anyone who is a little normal will probably walk around!Fortunately, there is still Qin Xu who has an "immune body" to this person. Qin Xu, who has repeatedly pitted Cheng Lian, can be considered to be able to suppress one or two. Unfortunately, if Qin Xu and Cheng Lian have a good personal relationship, we can only hope for it. After a long time, will Cheng Lian, who has been pampered for a long time, improve his consciousness a little bit after being hit in the head by someone!
"Haha, your Grandpa Zhang San has been waiting for you for a long time!" Cheng Lian's Ma Kuai, some of them seemed to disagree with Zhang Liao's cautious approach. Although Zhang Liao was leading cavalry, he was still there. As they circled the city step by step, Cheng Lian's army did not even scatter their scouting horses. They were already sticking to the official road outside the city in Pingyuan, and hurriedly marched towards the north gate.Unexpectedly, I thought that such a rapid march outside Pingyuan City would definitely avoid being intercepted by the right army teacher Jia Xu. Behind the forest covered by the dust, a roaring sound comparable to thunder, accompanied by more than a hundred guards, appeared in the open space in front of the forest from the middle of the forest.

"Who are you?" Cheng Lian saw that this would be unfamiliar, but the gnarled muscles on his body and the weird weapons still made Cheng Lian's heart tense for no reason.

"I am Zhang Yide from Yan! You villains who help the tyrant, how dare someone fight against a certain one?"...
