The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zheng's plan did not arouse Yan Xing's awareness, because when Zhou Cang led Liu Zheng's vanguard to rush over, the four thousand soldiers and horses had already attracted Yan Xing's attention, because Zhou Cang's people were using There was a long queue of people on the way, three to five people, 4000 people, and there was a long stretch. At the critical moment, Yan Xing didn't realize that there were not enough people in Zhou Cang at a glance.

It's just that when he saw Zhou Cang and others holding the banner of Liu Zheng's army, he concluded that this was Liu Zheng's army. After seeing Zhou Cang and others entering the ambush circle, Yan Xing became excited all over again. Where did I notice so many things.

After confirming that there were no troops in the rear, Yan Xing directly ordered the troops hiding on the mountain walls on both sides to attack.

The soldiers and horses that were dormant on the ground immediately stood up, and at the same time pushed the hidden stones, or directly lifted the big stones and threw them down the mountain.

The rocks rolled, exploded like thunder, and fell from a high altitude, which immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Cang's army passing through the valley.

In fact, even without these huge rocks and logs falling from the mountain walls on both sides, Zhou Cang knew that Yan Xing had set up an ambush here.

It's just that he didn't show it. After the enemy troops on both sides launched an attack, Zhou Cang immediately ordered his soldiers to move closer to the cliffs on both sides, and don't stand in the middle of the road to wait for the enemy's attack.

Because these soldiers and horses had long been alert, so after Zhou Cang gave the order.It was very quick to respond.

In the blink of an eye, they all hid on the cliffs on both sides, although a small number of people were hit by the boulders rolling down from both sides and died on the spot.But Zhou Cang, who was tasked with seducing Yan Xing, had no choice but to make some sacrifices.

Soon the rolling of stones on both sides of the cliff stopped, and the back road led by Zhou Cang was blocked by many stones.After Yan Xing's order, Yan Xing's army in front began to rush down the mountain frantically, intending to wipe out the enemy troops in front of them.

"It's been tricked, they've been tricked, brothers follow me and destroy these enemies! As long as Liu Zheng is killed, I will reward you with a hundred taels!"

Yan Xing looked at Liu Zhengjun on the official road, the formation collapsed by the rocks, and the soldiers and horses fled in all directions, and immediately became excited.

He yelled and ordered his soldiers to rush towards the enemy in the canyon.

For a moment, the sound of killing resounded throughout the world, and [-] soldiers and horses rushed to kill them, causing a commotion that frightened birds flew all around.

The movement caused by the fighting can be imagined.

Liu Zheng was still rushing towards the cliffs on both sides, and when he heard the shouts of killing, he knew that Yan Xing had already made a move, and his expression changed slightly immediately.

"Wenpin, come on, it should be that guy Yan Xing who made the move, don't hide your body anymore, and rush to the valley with all your strength to support General Zhou Cang, if it's too late, I'm afraid Zhou Cang's troops won't be able to resist!"

Liu Zheng immediately ordered all his men to speed up and rush up the hillside.

Although he has great confidence in Zhou Cang's troops and can hold out for a while among Yan Xing's 2 troops, after all, Yan Xing has [-] troops, which is several times that of Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang Cang was still the one who was ambushed. If he went too late, Liu Zheng was really worried that Zhou Cang and his troops might not be able to resist.

Wenpin also knew that Liu Zheng didn't seem to be joking, so he immediately ordered the soldiers under his command to rush forward at full speed.

It took only ten minutes to arrive at Yan Xing, the place where he was ambushed just now.

Looking at the valley below from a high place, Zhou Cang and Yan Xing's troops had already fought together. More than half of the 2 Zhou Cang army had been killed or injured, and they had been surrounded by Yan Xing's [-] horses. resistance.

Seeing that Zhou Cang's people had not been completely defeated by Yan Xing, Liu Zheng felt a little more at ease.

"Brothers, kill me, all the enemy troops will be killed without leaving a single one! Go!"

At this time, without any mercy, Liu Zheng raised his sword and led his troops to kill down the mountain.

He took the lead and led his personal battalion at the head of the horse, and charged directly at Yan Xing's army.

As Liu Zheng rushed out from the rear with 1 horses, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and immediately attracted the attention of Yan Xing and the water thieves on the battlefield.

They were still trying to find a way to besiege Zhoucang, wanting to resolve the battle quickly, but they never expected that their back route would be blocked by other people.

Looking at the countless enemy troops rushing down from the two mountainsides, Yan Xing's expression on the battlefield suddenly changed.

"What's going on? Why are there enemy troops behind us?"

4 Chapter Eighty

"How did those people get behind us?"

Yan Xing yelled angrily at this time, he didn't know what to do in his panic.

With the imposing shouts of Liu Zheng's army in the rear, and the deafening charge horn.It frightened Yan Xingjun, who still had some rules, like a rat running around with its head in its arms.

On this long and narrow battlefield, it was completely out of control, and I felt a sense of retreat for a while, especially when I was in a stalemate with Zhou Cang's army, and now I suddenly found myself surrounded, and the enemy came to reinforce me. The momentum on the board was suddenly rewritten.

The morale on Liu Zheng's side suddenly rose.

Originally struggling to resist Yan Xing's attack, Zhou Cang, who was about to be unable to hold on with more than half of his troops killed and injured, heard shouts of killing nearby and saw Liu Zheng's flag waving in the distance, so he knew that the lord Liu Zheng had finally Bring someone to kill.

"Brothers, the lord is here, the lord has brought people to support us, kill these thieves!"

The appearance of Liu Zheng's army suddenly made Zhou Cang's slightly low morale excited. Following Zhou Cang's shout, the remaining more than 2000 soldiers immediately roared. With the knife and shield in his hand, he slashed at the enemies around him frantically.

In the blink of an eye, the one-sided situation just now has changed the direction of the wind.

Yan Xing's soldiers and horses are actually not elites. When fighting with Zhou Cang's 2 soldiers and horses, 4000 soldiers have already lost one-third of their lives. .

But after all, the advantage of having a large number of people can suppress Zhou Cang by virtue of the absolute advantage in numbers, but after Liu Zheng's reinforcements appear, this advantage will disappear, and the balance of victory has begun to swing towards Liu Zheng Tilt this way.

Liu Zheng's men and horses came from the rear, and the first thing they faced was the Yan Xing's pro-corps in the rear of the battlefield.

The first-level generals around Yan Xing were themselves on the edge of the battlefield, but after meeting Liu Zheng's men and horses coming from the rear, they became the forefront.

A face-to-face charge put Yan Xing and some other generals in a passive state of being beaten. They could no longer command the soldiers and horses, and the more than [-] people could only fight by themselves.

And Liu Zheng is smart, and he has seen Yan Xing a long time ago, and knows what Yan Xing looks like. After scanning and confirming Yan Xing's position, Liu Zheng directly asked Wenpin to lead the main force. Yan Xing's position was approaching, and Yan Xing was quickly suppressed and retreated into a corner.

There are still Zhou Cang's enemies on the front road, while the back road is blocked by Liu Zheng's men and horses, and there is no way to escape or fight.

Yan Xing was in such despair, and was quickly cleaned up. After hundreds of Yan Xing's soldiers were killed, only Yan Xing was left to resist.

Wen Pinju shot and killed the last few soldiers, approached Yan Xing's side, and subdued Yan Xing in three or two strokes.

Although Yan Xing has some strength, but in the face of such a situation, he is already unable to recover and is distracted. He did not go all out to fight Wenpin. It is normal to lose to Wenpin in two or three times. .

Thinking about it, Yan Xing also had a feeling of fear for Liu Zheng. The previous time he fought Liu Zheng, he was captured by Liu Zheng and escorted to Yan Baihu's hands, which made Yan Xing feel ashamed. There is an inexplicable fear in the struggle.

Now that I saw Liu Zheng again on the battlefield, Liu Zheng who came out from the rear like a god descended from the earth, naturally he was even more panicked. During the fight, he also lost his way, and it was normal for him to miss and be captured.

Seeing Yan Xing being captured alive, those who still had some resistance were even more demoralized. Some started to run away, and some started to retreat, but the surrounding area had already been blocked by Liu Zheng. It was difficult to get out, and the nearby rocks were piled up by themselves, which made it more difficult for them to escape.

This allowed Liu Zheng's troops to easily suppress one-sidedly, and engaged in a massacre of the remaining [-] people under Yan Xing's men.

An hour later, a fierce battle came to an end.

Of the [-] troops led by Yan Xing, except for a small number of people, most of the soldiers and horses were beheaded by Liu Zheng after they fled in the chaos.

Of course, the most important person, Yan Xing, was also caught by Liu Zheng's men and brought to Liu Zheng.

"Yan Xing, we met again, no, you fell into my hands again, this should be the second time."

At this time, Yan Xing would tremble when he looked at Liu Zheng, and he completely lost the aura of being a general.

He didn't even dare to look at Liu Zheng, but just lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

"I should have known this was the result."

After a moment of silence, Yan Xing seemed to look away, and said something.

"It's a pity, there are not so many people in the world who knew that I would die, why should I fight?"

Following Yan Xing's words, Liu Zheng sighed.

Yan Xing also sneered, winner and loser, in his situation, it is useless to say anything.If you talk a lot, you will make a lot of mistakes, so just stop talking.

And Liu Zheng saw that Yan Xing didn't seem to have any interest in talking to him, so he didn't want to say more.

In the past, Liu Zheng kept Yan Xing because of Yan Baihu's face. After all, this guy was Yan Baihu's younger brother, so he was killed. At that time, Liu Zheng's strength was not good enough to deal with Yan Baihu.

But it was different now, he and Yan Baihu had officially declared war, and there was nothing wrong with killing Yan Xing, so there was no need for Liu Zheng to compromise for himself, and he looked directly at Wenpin and gave an order.

"Kill him, send the head to Yan Baihu, let him see, what will happen if you betray me!"

"Yes, my lord."

Wen Pin took the order, and slashed at Yan Xing's neck with one knife.

Liu Zheng turned his head, didn't even bother to take a second look, and walked away to clean up the battlefield with Zhou Cang.

And Wenpin installed Yan Xing's head, and then found a few captives who surrendered, and asked these people to send this head to Yan Baihu.

And give Yan Baihu a message, three days later, in Wucheng County, Yan Baihu will be killed.

These people were trembling with fear, but they were also glad that they were selected and could be saved from death.

Leading Yan Xing's head, he quickly ran to Wucheng County.

On Liu Zheng's side, he counted his losses in this battle.

The number of people lost is not many, only more than 3000. After all, Yan Xing killed 2 people. He can still tolerate this loss, but at any rate, these 3000 people are all elite soldiers. Give them a good burial.

Chapter 481

a day later.

The mansion of Yan Baihu in Wucheng County.

One day had passed since the battle to ambush Liu Zheng, and the head sent by Liu Zheng was finally delivered to Yan Baihu at this time.

The news of Yan Xing's defeat was finally known by Yan Baihu.

When Yan Baihu looked at the head of his own brother Yan Xing, which was placed bloody in front of him like this.Yan Baihu even had the illusion that he was dreaming.

He even felt that this head was not Yan Xing at all, but when he looked at the face of that head, although it was in a state of distress, Yan Baihu still couldn't bear the indignation in his heart, and suddenly overturned the expression in front of him. table.

"Ah! Liu Zheng! I must kill you!"

Yan Baihu was stimulated by his younger brother's head, and his blood surged all of a sudden. He wished he could drag his soldiers and horses to settle accounts with Liu Zheng at this time.

But soon, under the plea of ​​the counselor around him, he calmed down.

He is not as strong as Liu Zheng, especially in the current situation, Yan Xing led [-] soldiers and horses to leave. After leaving here, there are only more than [-] soldiers and horses in Wucheng County.

Even Yan Xing's [-] soldiers failed to repel Liu Zheng, so how could the remaining troops led by Yan Baihu be Liu Zheng's opponent.

Even if he took people out to settle accounts with Liu Zheng, there was only one result, that is, he was defeated by Liu Zheng and ended up being defeated and killed.

Yan Baihu didn't want to die. If he died, the entire Yan family in Wu County would be completely destroyed, and he, the suzerain master, would completely disappear in the long river of history.

"What to do! Liu Zheng is about to kill him, you guys can give me some advice!"

At this time, Yan Baihu, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, sternly shouted at the counselor beside him, and wanted to discuss with his counselor how to block Liu Zheng's attack.

"My lord, Liu Zheng's attack is too strong, we can't stop it at all."

One of the counselors stepped forward and said something boldly.

"The two armies are at war, messing up our morale. If you can't stop me, you still need to say it, waste, pull it down and chop it up for me!"

At this time, Yan Baihu was furious, and the counselor opened his mouth, which angered Yan Baihu even more, and Yan Baihu immediately ordered him to pull him out and chop him up.

The counselor was so annoyed that he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, but Yan Baihu at this time could not be merciful when he begged for mercy.

Seeing that their colleagues lost their lives like this, the others were silent and did not dare to speak.

But all the counselors and staff did not open their mouths, which also made Yan Baihu's anger nowhere to disappear, and asked the people present aggressively again.

"You open your mouth and come up with an idea. If you can't stop Liu Zheng, do you think you can still live? Even if Liu Zheng doesn't kill you, I will pull you to die together!"

The angry Yan Baihu immediately yelled at these advisers in a threatening tone.

The faces of those counselors who were frightened changed drastically.

Fortunately, there was a more courageous person who immediately stood up at this moment and said something to Yan Baihu tremblingly.

"My lord, we can't beat us. If we keep the green hills, we won't have to worry about no firewood. I think we should retreat first."

"Withdraw, where else can we withdraw? Is it possible that you still want us to go back to the water and become water thieves?"

Be a water thief.

As soon as the three words came out, the counselor immediately thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he continued.

"My lord, it's not impossible to be a water thief. I heard that there is another country under Jiaozhou. We can go to that country under the coast. When we gain a firm foothold in that place, we can lead people to kill them directly." Jiaozhou, isn't Jiaozhou Liu Zheng's stronghold? If we kill Liu Zheng when he takes control of the Central Plains, it will definitely cause Liu Zheng a headache. If we can unite with some Central Plains princes to contain Liu Zheng, Maybe it can completely defeat Liu Zheng."

As Liu Zheng opened up the sea route between Jiaozhou and Yangzhou last year, more and more merchant ships sailed from Yangzhou or even Xuzhou to Jiaozhou for trading, so some situations in Jiaozhou are not special on Yan Baihu's side. strangeness.

Especially after Liu Zheng opened up trade in the sea area, some people who are good at trading used ships to go all the way down to the farther south, and arrived at Funan Kingdom, which was not even under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou.

Although some of the rulers of Yangzhou had heard about the Funan Kingdom, everyone thought it was a barbaric land and they didn't have much interest in going there.

But now, Yan Baihu, who was forced to have nowhere to go, thought of that place.

Yan Baihu didn't want to die, but if he didn't leave, he would indeed have only a dead end if he stayed here. Once he was surrounded by Liu Zheng's army, it would really be called "every day should not be done", and the earth would not work.

"Let's go, get out of here, according to what you said, there is still a chance, we haven't failed yet, what about our warships, pull them out immediately, and head south along the coast!"

Yan Baihu doesn't have to go to Funan, but there is no other way, only the idea of ​​such a counselor is still satisfactory to him. According to what the counselor said, leave now, recuperate, and lay down a force in Funan, waiting for Liu Zheng to lead When the soldiers and horses left Jiaozhou, they counterattacked and returned.

At that time, even if Liu Zheng wanted to go to support Jiaozhou, it would not be a matter of time and a half.
