The Nameless of the Common Clans

By the Calming River, the cracked ice has refrozen. Under the urging of the county guard, a citizen carried wood or used rocks to smash the frozen ice again. Someone accidentally fell into the broken ice and was killed. People were struggling to pull them up, but they were already halfway there. In this weather, if you fall into the ice water, you don't know if you can survive until tomorrow, but the fortifications are still being worked on.

Zhending Ling knew how to do things. Since Zhao Yun suggested setting up defenses by the river to block the Guanzhong Army, he followed Zhao Yun's plan. At the same time, he also wanted to appoint Zhao Yun as the thief Cao temporarily, but Zhao Yun declined.

Although he decided to help defend his hometown, he did not want to serve the Yuan family. This was not because the Yuan family was now in decline. In fact, when Zhao Yun came down from the mountain to join the army, his first choice was Yuan Shao. However, he was a little disappointed with Yuan Shao later. The recruitment was chaotic and there was internal intrigue. In his eyes, with Zhao Yun's background and qualifications, it is okay to be a young general, but if he wants to stand out, it is hard to think about it. If Zhang He had not been a general under Han Fu, he would not have the status he has today.

"Zilong, now that the county guard is in your hands, are you confident that you can hold on to it?" The county official found Zhao Yun who was supervising the work and asked with a smile.

Shaking his head, Zhao Yun glanced at the county official: "I have crossed the river to investigate in person. Taishi Ci led the army this time, and there were nearly 20,000 soldiers under his command. Our army totaled only 2,000. Taishi Ci's subordinates , they are all veterans of hundreds of battles who have been fighting at the border for a long time with Xianbei, but most of our troops have never even been on the battlefield..."

Looking at the disappointed eyes of the county officials, Zhao Yun did not say any more. The reality was very shocking. Two thousand people, even relying on the geographical advantage, wanted to block an elite division ten times their size... Don't talk about him Zhao Yun, the Overlord is resurrected, and the Soldier Saint is still alive. I'm afraid it can't be done either.

Zhao Yun himself was a member of the White Horse Yi Cong back then, and he knew very well how terrifying the fighting power of the frontier army was. It was an army that could be thrown into the battlefield at any time, and Taishi Ci was not an unknown person. With such a combination, you want me to rely on two thousand If the mob blocks it, that's just overthinking.

I personally watched Taishi Ci march. At least in terms of commanding the troops and horses, Taishi Ci could be said to be impeccable. He couldn't do it better. According to Zhao Yun's knowledge, Taishi Ci led the army several times in the past few years. When chasing the Xianbei tribe, the Xianbei people who were beaten were just like Sun Tzu. Even if they went to Yunzhong to trade, they had to respectfully send a greeting card and get permission from Taishi Ci with the courtesy of a courtier before they dared to enter Yunzhong.

The most powerful thing about Taishi Ci is obviously not his marching. He is even more ferocious on the battlefield. Even if the forces are equal, Zhao Yun can't guarantee that he can win. Now there are more than 2,000 people and Zhending civilians who want to defeat Taishi Ci. Zhao Yun doesn't know what to do. How to explain to my uncle.

Generals are important in fighting, but how can you let a general fight without soldiers and horses?

"What should we do?" The county official was startled and looked at Zhao Yundao.

"Delay for two days at most, we should find reinforcements as soon as possible." Zhao Yun looked at the county officials and said.

"Reinforcements?" The county official smiled bitterly. There are no reinforcements now.

Zhao Yun was silent. This was all he could help. Regarding reinforcements, he didn't have many powerful connections in Jizhou. If he was asked to find reinforcements, he would be really asking for the wrong person.

"Uncle, if there are no reinforcements, it's better to retreat earlier. We can't stop them!" Zhao Yun sighed.

"The county magistrate invites you to come out just to shake the morale of the army here?" There was a deep shout, but a burly general wearing armor came to the two of them and frowned at Zhao Yundao.

"Liu County Lieutenant, Zilong has no such intention..." The county official complained secretly. The county magistrate handed over the unified management of the county guards to Zhao Yun, which naturally made the county captain dissatisfied. At this moment, he was clearly looking for trouble.

"Secretary Guo, no one asked you." Liu County Lieutenant glanced at the county official coldly, frowned and looked at Zhao Yun, and said coldly: "Secretary Guo said that you are so powerful, but now it seems that you are just a false reputation. That’s all.”

Zhao Yun frowned and looked at this man. He had never thought about fighting for power, but in order to stop Taishi Ci's army, this group of rabble must be led by someone. This Liu County Lieutenant obviously does not have this ability, but he is not willing to have his power taken away. Now he comes to look for trouble. , which made Zhao Yun a little irritable. He was facing a powerful enemy, but he still wanted to fight for power?

"What do you want?"

"No matter what, the brave are respected in the army. Today, I want to see what you are capable of." Lieutenant Liu looked at Zhao Yun provocatively and flashed his sword.

"That's fine." Zhao Yun was a little speechless. In the army, brave men are respected. That means soldiers, not generals. What generals need to do is to strategize and dispatch well. Looking at the world, there are several generals who lead by personal bravery. Thousands of troops?

However, Lieutenant Liu obviously didn't want to reason with Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun tried to reason with him. At least now, Lieutenant Liu couldn't listen. Zhao Yun didn't bother to waste any words and agreed directly.

"Show your weapons." Lieutenant Liu pulled out his favorite sword and stared at Zhao Yundao.

"No need, hurry up, I still have a lot of things to do." Zhao Yun shook his head, not looking down on the person, but from the posture of the opponent holding the sword, Zhao Yun could probably judge the opponent's level. If he used the weapon, Even if the opponent does not die, he will still be seriously injured. With a powerful enemy in front of him, Zhao Yun does not want to cause internal chaos.

"Arrogant!" Zhao Yun was telling a fact, but in Liu Xianwei's ears, it was Hong Guoguo's insult. He shouted angrily and slashed at Zhao Yun with a knife.

"Pa~"

Zhao Yun turned sideways and slapped Lieutenant Liu on the face, causing him to spin around in a circle and fall to the ground. He stared blankly at Zhao Yun who continued to direct the workers to carry earth and rocks.

"Don't delay, everyone. The enemy can arrive at any time." Zhao Yun didn't want to argue any more. He shouted to the soldiers around him, and then left.

"Yes!" Everyone dispersed and continued to work.

County Lieutenant Liu lay on the ground and didn't get up for a long time. The county official came forward to help him up, but was pushed away by County Lieutenant Liu.

"Alas, why are you doing this?" The county official was speechless. It seemed that he was not stunned by the beating, but was embarrassed to get up. Seeing that he was fine, the county official said no more, shook his head and sighed and left. He didn't intend to fight with you at all. Otherwise, the county lieutenant would have been above him. You ran over like this, deliberately making things uncomfortable.

When he found Zhao Yun again, he saw Zhao Yun gathering the children of Zhaozhuang. The county official was shocked and hurried forward to ask: "What is Zilong doing?"

"Go and explore the enemy situation to see if we can give Taishi Ci a warning and hit the enemy's morale." Zhao Yun hung his bow on the horse's back, climbed on the horse, looked at the county official and smiled: "Uncle, don't worry, we are all cavalry. If we want to leave, Taishi Ci can't stop us."

After that, he got on the horse and led everyone across the river.

The bridge on the river was not completely destroyed. At Zhao Yun's suggestion, one was left to attract the Guanzhong army to cross the river from here. At that time, the arrows were concentrated to shoot here. It seemed like a flaw, but in fact, this bridge was a life-and-death line prepared by Zhao Yun for Taishi Ci.

"Zilong, please be careful!" The county official shouted at Zhao Yun's back with some concern.

Without answering, Zhao Yun led 300 Zhao family members eastward for more than ten miles and saw Taishi Ci's army rushing towards this side. The Zhao family members were all cavalry trained by Zhao Yun. The horses were bought from his friends in Youzhou over the years. These cavalrymen were good at riding. Under the command of Zhao Yun, they could be said to come and go like the wind.

Seeing that Taishi Ci's army had appeared here, Zhao Yun's heart sank. The defense over there was not ready yet.

He immediately took the lead and rushed towards the enemy formation.

"Woo~"

A scout had already discovered this cavalry and immediately blew the alarm.

Taishi Ci, who was marching, slowly raised his right hand upon hearing the sound. The troops quickly stopped. With hawk-like eyes, he watched from a distance as a cavalry rushed towards this side. Three hundred cavalrymen seemed a little thin in front of the 20,000 troops. Taishi Ci didn't know what these people were going to do here?

But seeing a general rushing out of the battle formation and coming to the front of the two armies, there was still a hundred steps away. The general suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow towards this side.

"Swish~"

From a distance of a hundred steps, the opponent's arrowhead directly shot through the rope hanging on Taishi Ci's flag.

The flag guard saw this and quickly jumped up and grabbed the rope to prevent the flag from falling.

The soldiers around were a little surprised. At such a long distance, an arrow shot through the rope. Such archery skills were amazing.

"Good archery!" Taishi Ci turned his head to look at his flag, and saw that the cavalry behind the opponent also caught up. Someone was holding a flag in his hand and waved to the guards: "Take my bow!"

"Yes!" A guard quickly took out Taishi Ci's carved bow and handed it to Taishi Ci.

Taishi Ci's sharp eyes were fixed on the flag. People who are good at shooting are usually good at dodging arrows. At such a long distance, the opponent will definitely be able to dodge it, so at the beginning, Taishi Ci did not target the general, but the flag.

He drew his bow and put his arrow on it, without too much aiming. At the moment when the bowstring was fully drawn, Taishi Ci had already let go.

"Buzz~"

Accompanied by the sound of the bowstring trembling, Taishi Ci's arrowhead instantly passed a hundred steps away like a meteor chasing the moon. On the other side, Zhao Yun saw that the arrow was not shot at him, his face changed, and he shouted sternly: "Be careful!"

"Kacha~"

The Zhao family member holding the command flag felt his hand lighten, and half of the command flag was shot off by the arrow, falling out, and he was instantly frightened and sweating.

Zhao Yun took a look and put his arrow on it again. This arrow was shot at the rope of the general flag again.

How could Taishi Ci let him succeed twice? He grabbed a soldier's spear and swung it toward the sky, knocking down the arrow. But the next moment...

"Swish~"

Another arrow shot through the rope, and Taishi Ci's flag could no longer be held, falling from the flagpole. It was Zhao Yun who shot an arrow and then shot another arrow, shooting down Taishi Ci's flag.

"Good archery!" Taishi Ci returned the spear to the soldier, rode out on his horse, and said loudly: "I don't know why the warrior blocked my way?"

Zhao Yun and others were not wearing armor uniforms, but tight clothes, obviously not Yuan's army.

"Zhending is my hometown, I hope the general will show mercy!" Zhao Yun looked at Taishi Ci. This shooting match was a draw. He shot down Taishi Ci's flag, but Taishi Ci also shot down his flag.

"Our army never hurts the people, why do you say that?" Taishi Ci smiled. For people with ability, Taishi Ci is always willing to get close to them.

"If the swords and the swords are used, there will be countless deaths." Zhao Yun shook his head and looked at Taishi Ci and said, "I hope the general will withdraw his troops quickly."

"With you?" Taishi Ci narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yun, shook his head and smiled, "If Zhending is willing to surrender, there will be no war."

"If the general insists on doing so, the soldiers and civilians of Zhending will fight to the death!" Zhao Yun said loudly.

"Fighting is the business of soldiers, but you dragged the people into it. I think even if there are countless deaths, it is probably the work of you who force the people to fight." Taishi Ci sneered.

"There is no point in talking more!" Zhao Yun looked at the cavalry that began to pour out from both sides, knowing that he might be surrounded if he stayed any longer, he immediately turned his horse's head and left with his men.

"Warrior, can you please leave your name?" Taishi Ci felt a little regretful. He almost surrounded the other party, but the man was too vigilant. He looked at the other party's back and said loudly.

"Zhao Zilong of Changshan!"
