Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

The screams were mixed with a muffled groan. Zhang Xun wanted to get up after rolling on the ground, but just halfway up his body, he cried out in pain. He saw that seven or eight arrows had been inserted into his body, and there were even two more arrows in his body. Just above the vital point of the chest.

The soldiers following Zhang Xun were shocked when they saw this, and they immediately stepped forward to save people, so Zhang Liao was not slow, and at the same time ordered the front and rear soldiers to attack immediately, and all of Zhang Xun's troops must be taken down.

As for Zhang Liao himself, he just stood still, but if you look carefully, it's not difficult to find that Zhang Liao's right hand is rubbing the handle of the knife back and forth, as if a little impatient.

As a general, Zhang Liao really wants to fight in person, especially if the opponent is a "famous general" like Zhang Xun, and Zhang Liao still feels that Zhang Xun should not be as good as him. lifetime.

But Zhang Liao didn't do that in the end, because Li Yi issued a military order to the generals leading the troops in advance, and it is not recommended for them to fight against the enemy generals unless necessary.

Especially when the number and morale of one's own soldiers and horses are superior and the situation of the battle is superior, as the main general, if he still chooses to fight the opponent, no matter whether he wins or loses afterwards, he will directly record it once.

As soon as Li Yi's order was promulgated, many people felt that it was inappropriate, thinking that it could not show their bravery, so many people asked Li Yi for their opinions in private, wanting Li Yi to relax.

Li Yi listened to everyone's feelings, and really relaxed with empathy. He gave a condition, as long as anyone can be stronger than him, he is not within the restrictions of this military order, so those who made suggestions They were all wilted, and could only follow Li Yi's military orders honestly.

Therefore, when Zhang Liao faced Zhang Xun, although he really wanted to rush up and capture Zhang Xun himself, in the end he followed Li Yi's routine and let the archers knock Zhang Xun down.

By the way, these archers were trained by Xu Huang according to Li Yi's requirements. They are specially used to shoot and kill enemy generals. Unless the opponent is protected by a bunch of personal guards, they will basically shoot accurately with one shot.

Because Zhang Xun was seriously injured by the arrow, the morale of the Yangzhou army was very low. After Zhang Liao's men killed Zhang Xun's soldiers, they collapsed directly, and nearly a thousand people knelt down and begged for surrender.

Zhang Liao arranged for someone to take the prisoners, and then he walked in front of Zhang Xun. An accompanying military doctor whispered something into Zhang Liao's ear. Zhang Liao nodded, and then looked at Zhang Xun. It's blood, and because of the scrambling and tugging before, I'm afraid it won't last long.

Seeing Zhang Liao approaching, Zhang Xun, who was originally in a low breath, suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Zhang Liao with hatred. His gaze was like a beast, as if he wanted to devour Zhang Liao alive.

Zhang Xun knew that he was going to die, but he was really aggrieved, because he thought that he was not defeated because of the unfavorable battle, but died under Li Yi's conspiracy to defect, and Zhang Liao's shameless back arrow, he was really unwilling!

Zhang Liao and Zhang Xun looked at each other for a while, shook their heads, knelt down and said, "My lord said that the struggles in the world are always unscrupulous, and the way of fighting on the battlefield is even more so. I respect your loyalty to Yuan Shu. If you have any wishes, you may as well." Tell me, if it is feasible, Zhang may be able to satisfy you."

Zhang Xun originally held his breath and wanted to vomit blood all over Zhang Liao's face, but after hearing what Zhang Liao said about the world war, he coughed suddenly and spat out the blood in his mouth.

Reluctantly raising his hand to wipe his mouth, Zhang Xun said softly: "Zhang has no wish, but one thing he doesn't understand."

Zhang Liao asked calmly, "What's the matter? Please tell me."

Zhang Xun stared into Zhang Liao's eyes and asked, "Why is Li Yi like this? He is only a poor boy, and my king has already granted him the position of Jiuqing. Isn't that enough?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and smiled, leaned over and said in a low voice: "My lord wants not Jiuqing, but the whole world, and let me tell you one more thing, Yuan Shu's imperial jade seal was actually forged by my lord. Delivered by hand."

After hearing this, Zhang Xun's eyes widened suddenly, with horror and disbelief, and finally burst into tears.

Looking at Zhang Xun like this, Zhang Liao regretted provoking him just now, sighed, slowly drew out his sword, and then slashed it down, Zhang Xun's crying stopped abruptly.

Zhang Liao put his sword back into its sheath, and ordered to the left and right: "Send Zhang Xun's head to the lord, and say that Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun has been beheaded by me. In addition, you will divide your troops into three groups and continue to hunt and kill!"

When Li Yi received the news from Zhang Liao, he was still outside the Peking University Camp. When he learned that Zhang Liao killed Zhang Xun, Li Yi was really very happy, and he wanted to show the battle report to the left and right: "Wen Yuan is brave. Famous generals in the world!"

As the nominal commander-in-chief of the three armies, Li Yi himself has no interest in charging. Moreover, such a large corps is fighting, and it is still a night battle, and Li Yi can't command at all. Therefore, after Zhang Liao led the forward successfully, the main force of the army was handed over. Under the command of Wenpin, now Wenpin leads people to chase and drive away Yuan Shu's defeated army. Li Yi himself only left about a thousand people behind, leading Dianwei, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others to mop up the rear.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Wen Yuan is really powerful. He broke through the North Camp in an instant, and then went straight to the camp of Yuan Shu's army. No one can stop him all the way. Such a fierce general is rare in this world. However, we need someone like our lord." The Lord knows people with his eyes, otherwise, even if Wen Yuan is ten times braver, he will inevitably be buried."

Li Yi laughed. He felt that Cao Cao liked Guo Jia so much. Apart from this guy's real skills, it was probably inseparable from his good at flirting.

Xu Shu, who served as the commander of the army, was not to be outdone, and cupped his hands and said: "General Zhang is brave, and he has contributed a lot, but the real first contribution, I think it belongs to the lord, if there is no lord who uses divine power to guide that "sacred thunder" into the tent of Yuan Shu's army. , with the abilities of Zhang Xun, Ji Ling and others under Yuan Shu's command, if they react in time, although General Zhang can win, he will inevitably fight hard, and there will be many more casualties."

"Moreover, most of the soldiers in Yuan Shu's army cannot see at night. Unless they fight face to face, they are like blind men. However, the soldiers under the lord's command have far better eyesight than the opponent. This is also due to the lord's wisdom. I admire it!"

Guo Jia also nodded again and again, echoing: "Indeed!"

The two of them were not flattering this time, but sincerely praised them, not only them, but even the guards around Li Yi looked at Li Yi with incomparable reverence, even fanaticism, as if they were looking up to the gods .

The actual number of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses is about 10, and the number of troops outside the East Gate camp is about [-]. It is not difficult for Zhang Liao to rush in with a few thousand forwards. May be hit with an anti-encirclement.

Therefore, when Zhang Liao launched an offensive against the North Camp, under the cover of several guards, Li Yi walked to the vicinity of the camp and threw a "divine thunder" in the direction of Yuan Shu's tent.

As a traverser, Li Yi would naturally consider gunpowder when studying warfare, but due to issues such as materials, the environment, and Li Yi's own level, he has only produced less than two hundred catties of gunpowder, which is also very powerful in terms of power. It's not satisfactory, and it can't be used as a conventional method at all, and according to Li Yi's calculations, even if all the gunpowder he has accumulated is made into a big explosive bag, it will be difficult to blow open the gate of Xiangyang.

Therefore, Li Yi temporarily gave up the idea of ​​promoting the use of gunpowder. He just asked people to make a few hollow iron balls before the war, and filled them with sharp things such as gunpowder and iron nails and iron pieces. Come on, this is a big landmine to others, but Li Yi has a dragon spirit bug, and he has been practicing javelin and heavy object throwing all the time. Humanoid self-propelled mortar.

Li Yi pointed at Yuan Shu's tent, thinking that no matter whether it hurts or kills, it will cause chaos in Yuan Shu's army and delay Yuan Shu's time to command troops, but the actual effect is better than Li Yi thought. many.

The temporary deafness caused by the explosion to Yuan Shu and others was a trivial matter. What was more serious was that some areas in Yuan Shu's camp had a howl due to the sudden explosion, and the horses in the stables were also frightened and went mad, rushing out of the fence. , All of a sudden, Yuan Shu's camp was in chaos.

It can be said that under the circumstances at that time, even if Zhang Xun ordered resistance immediately, it would not have much effect.

As for the night blindness of the Yangzhou Army, Li Yi's soldiers and horses can see things, but it is Li Yi's effect of improving the food for those soldiers. All the wild vegetables that can be eaten are thrown into the cauldron. After a long time and eating more, the vitamins that are missing will naturally be replenished.

It was under the influence of these many factors that Zhang Liao was able to break through the camp quickly, causing Yuan Shu's army to collapse quickly, and Yuan Shu himself had to choose to flee to survive.

However, although Li Yi asked Zhang Liao and Wenpin to pursue Yuan Shu, his goal was not Yuan Shu himself, but to make Yuan Shu exhausted and have no time to gather soldiers and horses. Only in this way could he completely attack Yuan Shu's strength. At the same time, the Yangzhou army left behind by Yuan Shu naturally became Li Yi's manpower after being reorganized.

Regarding the praise from everyone, Li Yi's expression was indifferent, and he waved his hands to express his humility. In fact, he was very proud of himself. Although he didn't rush to the front line, his performance was enough to make anyone dare not despise him. It's just about Li Yi's vanity, which is also necessary to maintain his own prestige.

"Congratulations, everyone. The big victory this time is mainly due to the brave soldiers who did not hesitate to die, and the formation and planning of all the talents."

Seeing that Li Yi affirmed the merits of their counselors, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others also laughed, and Li Yi wanted to continue talking, when a scout came flying and reported to him: "General Qi, Yuan Shu Da! After the camp caught fire, Daying Le in the south of the city led troops to rescue him. General Xu Sheng fought with him to the death. Just then Le seemed to know that Yuan Shu's camp had been broken, so he withdrew to the camp and stood firm. General Xu Sheng asked the villain to ask the general for instructions. Continue to march, or stay where you are.”

Li Yi hurriedly asked: "How about Xu Sheng's casualties?"

The scout replied: "The loss is about three hundred, and the wounded are nearly a thousand. Among them, there are more than a hundred seriously injured. I don't know the exact side of Leju, but the corpses left by him after retreating are about three times that of our side."

Li Yi exhaled and said softly: "Xu Sheng is very good."

Speaking of this battle, although the main battlefield is on the East Gate side, Xu Sheng is in charge of the most difficult bone.

Yuan Shu arranged the camp in the south of Xiangyang City, which was originally commanded by Ji Ling, but after Ji Ling was injured, he asked Le to take care of it. There were nearly 2 people in total, but Li Yi only gave Xu Sheng 3000 people. He ambushed and attacked, at least to stop Le Jiu's footsteps. It can be said that the task is arduous. Li Yi has always been a little worried, but fortunately Xu Sheng did not let him down.

Li Yi turned to look at Guo Jia, and asked, "What does Feng Xiao think we should do now?"

Guo Jialue pondered for a while, and said: "If Le Ji is going all out, there will indeed be troubles for Xu Sheng, but he chose to retreat at this time, obviously because he was frightened when he learned that the camp had fallen, and Le Ji was like this. It's due to low morale, but considering that the army has tens of thousands of troops, the Lord and General Xu Sheng have only three thousand troops available, so a strong attack is not enough, so it is not the best strategy."

As he said that, Guo Jia looked at the box in the hand of the guard next to him, and said, "You can persuade Zhang Xun to surrender. If he agrees, you can restrain the chief general and deputy general in the army. If he doesn't agree, you can call the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City after dawn. Go out and encircle."

After Li Yi heard this, he immediately ordered to try to persuade him to surrender, but Dian Wei behind him suddenly said, "My lord, I have a plan!"

Everyone was startled, and then they all looked at Dian Wei, Li Yi smiled and asked, "What's the trick?"

Dian Wei puffed up his chest, and said loudly: "Let's have more soldiers, but we have fewer soldiers. Why don't you ask someone to call for a battle general, and make an agreement with him that if Le is victorious, my lord will let them go. If he loses , then return to the lord, lord, what is the plan?"

After all, Dian Wei looked at Li Yi eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation, he was suffocated, although protecting Li Yi is very important, but others are fighting and killing people to take credit, he can only stare blankly, really Very tormented.

Chapter 408

Before Li Yi could reply, Guo Jia couldn't help praising him: "A good plan, a good plan, my lord, Le will retreat at this time. The morale of the soldiers and horses is low, and most of them will not be able to fight again. Evil comes to use this bet to call the battle, and Le will accept it." Come on, if you use evil to be brave, Le will definitely lose. If Coke doesn't respond, you can scold him in the name of the pioneer Ji Ling if evil comes. Let the Xiangyang army and horses go out of the city, and a little deterrence, the enemy in the camp will be chaotic if they don't fight."

Li Yi nodded repeatedly at the side. In fact, after Dian Wei said it just now, he also wanted to understand the truth.
