The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 163

Gan Ning raised his head and took a visual inspection. The mountain ridge in front of him was about three meters high. Horses couldn't climb it, they had to take a slope, but the archers above would definitely not allow him to do so.The infantry climbed up to charge against the rain of arrows shot from the cottage above, and the losses must have been insignificant.The strategy he had told Zhao Yun before was actually Huo Gong. Now that Huo Gong is useless, he has no idea.Now the only way left is to fight hard.

Cao Bing in the cottage was condescending, and he had seen Gan Ning's team earlier.Director Chunyu felt amused, Yuan Jun really regarded death as his home, and just now he attacked again after countless casualties, is it a crime?Immediately put on the clothes and leave the village.Gan Ning lost his mind for a while, and ordered the soldiers to retreat fifty feet, trying to find a way to avoid the range of the opponent's bow and arrow.

Director Chunyu rode out of the stronghold on horseback, stood on a high place, and called out to Gan Ning, "You man, do you dare to attack the stronghold?" The director was not fooled, and thought to himself, he would die if he went out.He turned around and ordered the archers to prepare for the battle, draw the bowstring at any time, and change shifts every hour.They kept monitoring Yuan Jun below day and night.

Gan Ning saw that he would definitely not be able to go back for half an hour, so rather than letting Xu Huang make fun of him, he might as well wait for the opportunity here.Order the soldiers to retreat for a mile and rest where they are.

Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen wanted to make meritorious service, so they tried their best and said: "Although this place is dangerous, my two brothers have to make a breakthrough. Please send 5000 troops from the general. We will definitely fulfill our mission."

Gan Ning thought to himself that he didn't have a good idea for a while anyway, let the two of them try their luck first, if they succeed by mistake, that would be good.

Two brothers Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, one holding an ax and the other holding a halberd, led five thousand soldiers and horses to attack the pass on the high slope.The five thousand soldiers and horses are all infantry, with soldiers at the front and a thousand crossbowmen behind.A burst of war drums rushed forward, and the four thousand soldiers and horses in front climbed the high slope desperately, while the archers behind them lined up in a line of skirmishers, untied their bowstrings, and shot arrows at the pass camp, with the intention of covering the charge.If this tactic is feasible in normal times, but now the local archers and soldiers are hiding in solid fortresses, Yuan Jun's bows and arrows are not a threat to them at all.Naturally, the soldiers rushing forward couldn't please them.A rain of arrows poured down, costing hundreds of lives, and the remaining soldiers no longer dared to charge forward, and shrank back.

Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen didn't see it right. Even if the 5000 people were exhausted, it wouldn't pose any threat.As soon as the two of them came together, they simply fought as a siege battle, using a ladder to attack the city.Put the ladder on a high slope and let the soldiers climb up with shields in their hands. When they climbed thirty or forty feet away from the enemy's stronghold, they formed a shield array, using thousands of shields to block the rain of arrows, and moved forward little by little.The archers behind are pressing up and shooting at the enemy soldiers.

The tactics went smoothly at the beginning, because the height of the enemy's stronghold was not enough, so the lethality of the dive and archery was much smaller. After all, it is not a tall city wall, but there is still a certain difference.A thousand archers on the ladder crawled behind the shield soldiers, drew their bowstrings and started shooting suddenly with Cao Bing.Yuan Jun's shield soldier squatted down, tilted his shield halfway above his head, covering his whole body, and moved forward step by step backwards.As the distance got closer and closer, Cao Jun's soldiers also began to be shot by arrows.Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen were overjoyed when they heard the screams from Cao Ying.

It's too early for the two to be happy!
This casualty was nothing to Director Chunyu, who had won many battles. When one archer fell, three would immediately make up for it. Not only were the bows and arrows in the camp not sparse, but even more violent.An uninterrupted curtain formed above Yuan Jun's head, stretching tens of feet into one piece, covering a lot of the brilliance of the sun in the sky. As long as a finger-sized part was exposed, Yuan Jun's soldiers would immediately be hit by arrows and howl.The gate of Cao Jun's camp suddenly opened wide, and along the slope of the mountain, fifty or sixty sections of rolling logs two feet long and short were rolled down.This charging distance, even though the slope is very flat, seems to have been deliberately trimmed.Therefore, the speed of the rolling logs was extremely fast, and the loud rumbling sound was like tens of thousands of war horses galloping, the ground trembled, and the eardrums rang.

Yuan Jun, holding his long shield high, had no time to dodge, and the front row was crushed into meatloaf by the roaring giant wood.The rolling log came from top to bottom, wave after wave, like a mountain collapsing and avalanche.Yuan Jun, who was watching, called his mother repeatedly, threw his shield, and ran backwards frantically.Everyone scrambles, tramples on each other and kills each other, but it is still not as good as the high speed of the rolling log. Those who were crushed to death were driven down the high slope and fell to death. The wooden piles were crushed into a bloody mess.

Brothers Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen stood at the bottom of the slope and saw this situation, and ran back with their soldiers.The log is still rolling down the high slope, and its power remains undiminished.Gan Ning hastily ordered the soldiers to retreat, and they fled in embarrassment for three or four miles before the speed of the rolling log stopped due to the change of the mountain.Of the five thousand soldiers and horses, less than a thousand escaped with Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen.This is simply more costly than a siege battle, and Gan Ning couldn't help but become angry and furious.

After yelling at the Zhong brothers in a rage, Gan Ning gradually calmed down, now is not the time to be competitive, and the situation here should be reported to General Zhao and Mr. Guo Jia immediately, and if Xu Huang wants to make sarcastic remarks, let him go .It's better than brothers dying innocently.

"Back to camp, retreat."

Guo Jia was discussing with Zhao Yun, when he heard that Gan Ning had returned in a big defeat, his face suddenly became serious.Xu Huang also followed Gan Ning in.He didn't taunt Gan Ning, but just patted Gan Ning on the shoulder lightly behind him.With shame on his face, Gan Ning knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The last general lost his army and lost his general. Please punish General Zhao."

Zhao Yun stood up and came to support him, holding Gan Ning's hand and said: "It turned out to be so dangerous. I am responsible for this failure. I blame the general for being negligent and underestimating the enemy. If you want to apologize, I will blame it all. No wonder the brothers below." Zhao Yun He was indeed negligent. This may be the only time he was careless in a battle in his life. He did not expect that a small pass could stop the two generals Xu Huang and Gan Xingba. judge.After learning from the painful experience, he decided to go to attack the stronghold in person.

Zhao Yun comforted Xu Huang and Gan Ning, and then said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, today's consecutive defeats, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they will still be calculating tomorrow."

Guo Jia pondered: "Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow to see what kind of Laoshizi camp is, so difficult to deal with."

Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, with two hundred cavalry, approached Chunyudao's camp. The three-zhang watchtower ordered by Chunyudao to be built yesterday had been completed. The soldiers on the watchtower saw a small group of cavalry approaching from a distance, and reported immediately.Director Chunyu went to the observation tower to watch it himself, overjoyed, and thought, isn't this the mighty Zhao Zilong in Huainan?He came in person, and God made me a great success.He was so happy that he almost vomited blood.I don't know what he thinks.Is Zhao Zilong so easy to deal with? !
Zhao Zilong was a bold man, he led two hundred cavalrymen to bully Gaopo, and took a leisurely walk around with his horses, as if he was a tourist looking at the scenery, and regarded the [-] to [-] Cao troops as nothing.Guo Jia saw that the terrain was dangerous and there were no roads.The gate of the camp is strong, and the rolling wood and stones in the village are piled up like mountains.The archer was in high spirits, and he couldn't help nodding secretly. Aren't Cao Ren's subordinates all full of wine and food?Zhao Yun surveyed the camp in all directions, remembered the key points one by one, turned his head to Guo Jia and said, "Go back."

Guo Jia wanted to go back a long time ago, this place is too dangerous, Zilong is not afraid, because he is strong in martial arts, how can I not be afraid of me as a scholar!
Director Chunyu would not miss this golden opportunity, and immediately ordered two thousand elite soldiers to fight out of the gate of the village.Guo Jia and Zhao Yun hadn't gone five miles when they heard the sound of killing behind them. They looked back and saw the horseshoes flying in the distance, and knew that the enemy was chasing them out.Cold sweat poured out of Guo Jia's forehead: "Hurry up, let's go, we are outnumbered." Zhao Yun calmly said: "Feng Xiao, take fifty soldiers and go first, and I will come to the rear." Guo Jia thought that staying by himself must be a burden, and the enemy came up to Zhao Yun Also take care of yourself and don't get him involved.You're welcome, and leave the horse.Zhao Yun and fifty soldiers were left to stop the enemy.

Chunyu Daoqi was out of breath as he ran on the horse, and shouted as he ran; "Zhao Yunxiu go, leave your life before you go—" His soldiers wondered, how can you go if you leave your life?Zhao Yun raised his spear, and the fifty soldiers behind him lined up on both sides, blocking Chunyu's path.Director Chunyu looked funny right away, there were only about fifty people, and he wanted to challenge me.Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, did you eat a few bear hearts and leopard guts last night?

Chunyu Doula blossomed, he beat his mount desperately, and ran forward, for fear that he would die too slowly.

Director Chunyu took out the bow and arrow from behind, pulled the bow with all his strength and shot it out. Zhao Yun didn't even look at it, just like pulling straw, he shot it to the ground.Director Chunyu was taken aback, but then comforted himself, luckily, luckily, besides Lu Bu, there are such powerful people in the world.

If a person is determined to seek death, even gods cannot save him.

Chunyu led the soldiers behind him like a cloud, shouting and roaring, and rushed forward. Zhao Yun was as stable as Mount Tai, with his iron spear lying across the saddle bridge, motionless.The muscles of the whole body are tense, the spirit is highly concentrated, and the eyes are shining, like a ferocious lion waiting to pounce on its prey.Director Chunyu laughed wildly and rushed to Zhao Yun, ten feet, eight feet, five feet!Zhao Yun's gentle and generous eyes flashed with murderous intent, and under his reins, the sitting horse rushed out like a crossbow arrow shot from a strong bow, rushing to Chunyu's guiding horse in a flash.Director Chunyu's eyes flickered, and he thought, how the hell did he see shooting stars in broad daylight!

Zhao Yun's iron spear turned into a silver thread in the air, piercing his throat with a pounce.Director Chunyu suddenly felt dizzy due to lack of oxygen, and thought it was because he was running too fast and his blood was surging.A thought quickly flashed in my heart: where is Zhao Yun?Here, how did the iron gun in his hand pierced my neck—horror flashed in his eyes, and he fell off the horse with a snap.

"Ai—" After tightening the reins, the horse neighed through the valley for a while, and all the Cao soldiers came to a screeching halt, stunned. The two thousand soldiers were stunned by Zhao Yun's peerless rush, and even the atmosphere was shocked. Don't dare to breathe.None of the thousands of people dared to go forward to fight. They just stared wide-eyed and shivered, clutching the reins tightly and retreating a little bit. It seemed that they were fully on guard to prevent Zhao Yun from massacring them. It's really unreasonable!The Huainan soldiers behind Zhao Yun burst into earth-shattering cheers. "The general's power is unmatched, and the general's status is unrivaled."

Cao Jun has no leader, and those whose minds are attacked by terror are facing collapse.Everyone was thinking in their hearts, our general Chunyu has always been known as brave and invincible, how could he die so easily.They still don't know that what General Zhao Zilong is best at is 'second kill'.

At the critical moment, someone finally couldn't resist the cold air coming from the bottom of his heart, and shouted loudly: "Run, brothers, this is a murderer—" The soldiers are all virtuous, and when they charge, they want to be the last , and want to fight for the first place when running away.As soon as this brother's words came out, Cao Jun's brigade immediately collapsed, "Run, go back and report." Turn around and run away.Zhao Yun looked dumbfounded from behind.Xin said, Lord Yan, you have to be aware of the details, those who trampled to death and fell to death should not be counted on Zilong's head, it really has nothing to do with me.

Zhao Yun didn't spend a single soldier to flee in embarrassment, throwing away his helmets and armors and fleeing in embarrassment. This matter was passed on by the people in the Jiangnan generation, and finally reached the point of myth. Yang Song, Zhang Lu's counselor, was terrified. Report to Zhang Lu: "It is said that Zhao Zilong, the general of Huainan, is a god who descended to earth. A few days ago, he overturned a peak of Funiu Mountain with a single shot, and crushed Cao Ren's [-] troops to death." Zhang Lu was killed by him. He was so frightened that he almost ordered to surrender immediately.

Zhao Yun leisurely returned to the camp in his spare time, and Guo Jia was leading the army to meet him.Seeing that he and the fifty soldiers came back without any scars, he felt puzzled, stopped the army quickly, rode up to meet him and said, "Zilong, why are you back?" He wanted to add more oil and vinegar, exaggerated and boasted without limit, but Zhao Yun just smiled and said: "Chunyu will die in battle, and the enemy soldiers will retreat without fighting."

Guo Jia knew that Zhao Yun was a man and didn't ask too many questions, knowing that he must have experienced a dangerous situation.Back at the camp, he said, "Chun Yu is dead, and I just thought of a plan to defeat the enemy." Zhao Yunxi said, "Sure enough, he is a brain truster, very powerful." Guo Jia said, "Not as powerful as you, I was almost scared to death just now. " Zhao Yun said: "I'm not as good as you in strategizing and winning thousands of miles away." Guo Jia sighed in his heart, that's all, getting along with Zhao Zilong is like drinking alcohol, it only makes people infatuated and intoxicated like a spring breeze.

Lieutenant General Yan Ming of Director Chunyu was also Xiahoudun's general. He was shocked when he heard that Director Chunyu was shot by Zhao Yun, and the [-] troops lost [-] battalions. He sent a flying horse to report back to Cao Ren, and at the same time took over Chunyu Dao's command position and continued to guard the camp.
