Also drunk, singing, mountains and rivers
Chapter 16, I didn't mean to say that the family was bad
on, without saying a word.
"By the way, just now...was there a quarrel in the hall?" Chang Ge asked inexplicably, "Just now, in my dream, I heard the quarrel, but it wasn't real, and I heard..."
Chang Ge pursed her lips, and said the name that touched her heart: "I also heard... the name of my father, Chang Chuan."
Zhu Zheng suddenly looked up at him and asked, "What did you hear?"
...what did I hear just now...
Chang Ge frowned and began to think hard.Just now, half asleep and half awake, I only heard a few words.Now he wakes up from the dream and tries hard to remember, but he can't remember anymore no matter what.
A series of memories made his forehead ache, but the hazy dream was like water flowing between fingers, passing by in a flash, and he could no longer pursue it.
Chang Ge finally gave up, shook his head and said, "I can't remember."
Zhu Zheng seemed to be relieved, and sank into his usual calm and indifferent expression.
"However... it should be because I heard the word 'Chang Chuan'..." Chang Ge frowned, tilting his head and recalling, "It's also because of this that the minister woke up..."
He could no longer hear what Chang Ge said later.
A sinking force pulled Zhu Zheng into the deep pool, and Zhu Zheng could hardly breathe, let alone speak.
He was about to drown.
Standing in front of him is the young Chang Ge.
Chang Ge, with high brows and deep eyes, was looking at Zhu Zheng with disappointment, his voice seemed to pass through the water waves, which seemed rather weird.
"It was Chang Chuan who you gave to die."
"you disgust me."
Chang Ge looked at him coldly, as if to penetrate Zhu Zheng's heart.
He wanted to talk, to justify.
But he couldn't open his mouth.
Zhu Zheng was struggling in the deep pool. He stretched out his hand in the direction of Chang Ge, but he couldn't stop the bottomless abyss.
The sudden feeling of suffocation pulled Zhu Zheng up from the deep pool of memories, he woke up with a feeling of melancholy, and sat in the study of the prefect's mansion in Jianping City.
Just now, he fell asleep on top of a pile of bamboo slips and scrolls.Reading Gu poison books for several days really made his body overdrawn.
Zhu Zheng moved his body and subconsciously looked at the furnishings of the study.
The familiar scenery and furnishings around reminded him of Chang Ge's second capture of Zhu Zheng the last time he came here.
At that time, Zhu Zheng pretended to be suffering from Ruanjinsan, and Chang Ge tricked him into feeding him several cups of wine.
At that time, there was only a shallow old hatred between the two of them, and there was no deep estrangement yet.
The memory in the dream was extremely real, he subconsciously touched the left sleeve pocket, and touched a golden jade crisp.
Just be prepared.
The burden on Zhu Zheng's heart seemed to ease a little.
******
The long river canyon, the moon is bright on the river.
After crossing Jiuwan Creek, there is finally a shoal on the south bank.People in Jingzhou are elegant, and a bamboo forest is planted along the river, overlooking the Lion Rock on the north bank.
A fisherman, wearing a cape hat, sat on the bow of the boat, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the forest.
Recently, water ghosts have occurred frequently, and the season is not good.On weekdays, he was full of night fishing fires, but today he beat him alone.It was nearly deep winter, and the sounds of apes on both sides of the strait had ceased to be restless.
In the middle of the big river, only the shadow of the moon is left alone.
A boat with an extremely deep draft broke through the moon's shadow from the center, causing ripples on the river surface. These tiny ripples rippled out one after another, until the fishermen's boat had already pushed the waves into a big wave.
There were several dull sounds in the water, and the familiar sound of water ghosts chiseling the boat made fishermen frown.
The fully loaded black boat dumped in the river before it lasted long, and was swallowed by the river in a short while.
The surface of the river returned to calm again, leaving only the shadow of the moon alone.
The fisherman collected the fishing rod calmly, and glanced at the basket that found nothing.
Years of wars, frequent occurrence of water ghosts, and now even food and grass are going to Yiling counties and counties to plunder. In such troubled times, the Lord of Jingzhou will not give up killing.He took off his bamboo hat, sighed heavily, and swung the Jiangxin fishing boat towards Jiuwan River.
Nothing has been found, and it has been closed in recent years.Today, I really don't know how to explain to my old wife.
******
Jingzhou.
The mountains and forests on the south bank of the Great River.
Jiuwan Creek is indeed the last shoal before entering Xiling Gorge, which is suitable for camping.On the first day of arrival, Zhang Zhiyin set up a small temporary military camp in Ma'anshan, leaving some troops behind to pretend to be busy.
After crossing Ma'anshan, there are layers of ladder rocks, and further forward are the upper seven and lower eight ridges.The local people said that the dangerous peaks here are sharp and sharp, with seven peaks and eight valleys, so it got the soil name of "upper seven and lower eight".
After passing the seemingly nowhere to go, there is a slender mountain road leading directly to Ximen Mountain in the north of the south bank and Heibao Mountain and Baiyun Mountain on the east side of the South Bank. Following these two peaks, you can go straight to Dao Mingcui Valley, which is across the water from Yiling City.
Right now, Zhang Zhiyin is sitting in one of the valleys in the upper seven lower eight ridges, quietly listening to the sound of turtledoves all around.
In front of him is a slender mountain road, which the locals call Longzui Mountain Road.It was also through this mountain road that they attacked up and down and harassed left and right, so that few of the supply ships could reach Yiling.It's just that Xiling Gorge is really torrential, and he lost a few soldiers because of it.
"Report, General. The Jingzhou Army smuggled the luggage overnight and it has been destroyed." A soldier with a face hurriedly walked up the hillside and slid down the slope, walked quickly in front of Zhang Zhiyin, and shouted.
Zhang Zhiyin gestured for him to keep a low voice.He approached the soldier and asked, "How many ships are there?"
The soldiers immediately lowered their voices and reported in a low voice: "A row of boats, a total of six boats, were all destroyed. But... the luggage is still being salvaged, and the current is too fast, and at most only [-]% of it can be recovered."
Zhang Zhiyin nodded and ordered: "Go and tell Captain Chen, the leader of the team, don't get entangled with the baggage, the lives of the soldiers are the most important thing."
Hearing this, the stern soldier finally raised his head and glanced at General Zhiyin in front of him.Zhang Zhi was hiding in the shadow of the valley, but his eyes were flickering with light, full of the bright moon of Zigui.
"Go, it's cold at night. Don't let the soldiers go down the river again." Seeing that he didn't move, Zhang Zhiyin immediately ordered.
"Yes!"
The visitor saluted and hurriedly ran in the direction of Xiaowei Chen.
The solemn treetops in the valley trembled suddenly, causing a group of turtledoves to take off in a rustle.
"General! Do you want to chase after him!" Xiaowei Qi beside him was always alert. Seeing the flock of birds startled suddenly, he guessed that they should be scouts sent by Jingzhou to investigate.
Zhang Zhiyin nodded, and said softly, "Chasing. But, don't grab it, just chase as you like."
"Yes!" Captain Qi took the order, turned around and headed towards Jingniao.
Zhang Zhiyin plucked a fallen leaf from his shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Seeing the small and knowing the truth, wait for the time."
This is what he said when he and Dingshan parted.
Zhang Zhiyin was worried, not knowing what was going on with Meng Dingshan's preparations.
******
Next to the Xiling official road, there is a stretch of hills.
The scenery here is beautiful and the products are rich.The people of Yiling don't like hunting on weekdays, and they have a preference for birds and animals, and they feed them from time to time.Over time, the Yiling people raised monkeys in the Shangxiataoping hills on the north bank.The monkeys have nothing to do when they have nothing to do, and they will go to the official road of Xiling in groups to snatch the items of passers-by.
Xu Shi grew up listening to the sound of apes on both sides of the strait. Yiling people are not annoyed by this group of apes who love to toss around. Instead, they gave this section of hills and streams troubled by monkeys a good name, called "Xiling Monkey Creek" ".
Eight of the ten old Yiling boatmen will tell you vividly about the "Xiling Monkey Creek" next to the official road in Xiling, and two will warn you not to mess with the monkeys in the "Xiling Monkey Creek".Very naughty.
The two woodcutters came down the mountain late, carrying two loads of firewood on their backs, and walking along the Xiling official road beside the Monkey Creek.
The two of them walked together, fearing that something might happen if they walk at night, or they might be ambushed by monkeys from Xiling Monkey Creek.
The metasequoia on the roadside trembled, and a Xiling monkey jumped out of it.The monkey with long hands and a small face landed in front of the two of them, playfully imitating their carrying firewood.
The two woodcutters smiled and passed by, not paying attention at all.
Xiling Monkey let them walk away, sat on the ground, scratched his cheek with his feet.Beside the monkey is the tool he used to imitate the woodworker's "firewood pole".
It was a bundle of bows and arrows, and the tips of the arrows were shining with a gloomy cold light.
☆, keeping the law
Jingzhou.
Yiling City.The main account of the shogunate.
The military report sent by the scouts was exactly the same as Wu Yufeng's previous speculation.
On the voyage from Jiuwanxi to Xilingxia, there were no water ghosts at all, but the Jingzhou army was making troubles.
Wu Yufeng looked at the sand table in front of him, only feeling a little uneasy in his heart.He sent out scouts, and immediately found the answer he wanted.It makes sense, but all of this... seems a little too smooth, so smooth that it's unbelievable.
He couldn't believe that such a simple formation would be at the level of Zhang Zhiyin, the third tiger among Yizhou's five tiger generals.This person ranks second only to Zhenbei General Bu Xing and Southern General Meng Yu in the "Drunken Mountain Yin Army Wolf".
But time has run out for him to think about it.The food and grass left on hand can only last for one day.In Yiling County, they have repeatedly collected grain and grass, because the residents need to store winter grain in winter, and the year is approaching, so it is even more difficult to confiscate.After a few days of collection, only some old broken grains and out-of-shape hay were handed in.
This kind of result can still cause public dissatisfaction, and in order to resist the surrender, it almost killed people.
If you can't wait for the supply of food and grass, even the boats, and the payment of the residents' food and grass, it will take a day or two at the earliest for the prime minister to reply to the letter. At that time...the army has already run out of food.
Wu Yufeng thought about it in every possible way, time was running out, and the only way before him was to attack.
"Honor Festival."
"General. Are you looking for me?"
Hearing the sound, Jiang Rongjie, Lieutenant of the Zan Military Academy, immediately opened his tent and came in, saluting.
Wu Yufeng didn't want to order.He always felt that this matter was so thought-provoking that it was too much of a coincidence.
But he had to order.
Soldiers can fight bloody battles, but they must not live without food for a day.This is self-defeating.
Wu Yufeng finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and deployed: "You take all the light cavalry to quickly attack the Jiuwanxi Jingzhou camp; then gather elite soldiers and divide into three groups to outflank, take the wild boar mountain and Ma'an mountain on the left; Baiyun mountain and Heibao mountain on the right ; Take the Longzui Mountain Road in the middle, and attack from all directions, it is best to press the Jingzhou army to death in the upper seven and lower eight ridges."
"Your Majesty, take the order!" Jiang Rongjie took the order, and hastily set out the arrangements.
Yiling is only more than 80 miles away from Jiuwan River.
Even if the mountain road is difficult, within an hour, no matter what, the Qingqi fast attack team can reach the Jiuwanxi camp of the Yizhou Army.
Wu Yufeng felt uneasy in his heart, so he forced himself to comfort himself: in at least two hours, the first batch of fast attack light cavalry will return to camp.
******
On the mountain road at night, the horseshoe is sick.
Jiang Rongjie knew in his heart why Wu Yufeng suddenly launched a surprise attack because of the imminent shortage of food and grass.
With anxiety in his heart, he couldn't help urging the fast attack light cavalry team to move faster.It took them less than half an hour to reach the eighty-mile mountain road.
This is the result of the best light cavalry team in the whole battalion, plus the light cavalry soldiers sprinting at full speed.
In the middle of the night, Jiuwanxi was quiet, and the camp of the Yizhou Army in Jiuwanxi gradually appeared in front of us.
No lights at all?
Jiang Rongjie became suspicious, and hurried to the Jiuwanxi camp of the Yizhou Army.
He rode alone and went straight into the Jiuwanxi camp in Yizhou, but there was no obstacle.Jiang Rongjie galloped all the way, before entering the main tent, raised his saber to break the tent.
No one is empty.
Not only was there no one there, there was not even any furnishings.
"Mingxiu Plank Road..."
Jiang Rongjie was startled, he turned around abruptly, and shouted at the light cavalry behind him, "No good! Go back to Shuyiling!"
******
Wu Yufeng didn't wait for the news of Jiang Rongjie, but the battle drums of the Yizhou Army sounded outside the city.
He was startled suddenly, and when he climbed up the tower, he saw Nan'an screaming and killing all over the sky.
The Yizhou army had no siege equipment at all, they were full of sharp knives, and they fought hand-to-hand with the Jingzhou army. The army flag with the word "Yi" rustled in the night wind, and the starlight of torches and rockets illuminated the flag in high spirits.
Wu Yufeng narrowed his eyes and carefully identified——
The three-way outflanking team that originally followed the Qingqi fast attack team encountered the main force of the Yizhou army head-on at Mingcui Valley on the south bank, and Meimei fought a tough battle.
In the night wind, a flag was flying, and the river wind blew the flag into a whistling sound.However, the color of this flag is heavy, and the words on the flag are covered by the darkness of night.
The generals of the Jingzhou army will cross the river, and before they can divide their troops into three groups, without any psychological preparation, they will be overwhelmed by the Yizhou army who have been ambushing for a long time, and there is no line of defense at all.
Finally, the Yizhou Army blew the charging bronze horn. The sound of the horn came through the moist river mist, like a death knell piercing the heart.
The commander commanding the charge held up the torch to illuminate the direction, and Wu Yufeng finally saw the other flag clearly through a little dim light——
This is a red flag with a black background, which is the same color as the general flag used by General Changge of the previous dynasty.Wu Yufeng couldn't be more familiar with this color scheme.
The wind was blowing, and the split flag stood by the river in the night, as if announcing the end of Jingzhou's rule in Yiling.
There is a large character on the flag: "Zhang".
Wu Yufeng was startled.
The three-way outflanking team actually encountered Yizhou's main force, Zhang Zhiyin, head-on!He rushed down the tower, ordered the main force in the middle army, and drove out of the city.
******
North shore.
Meng Dingshan has been hiding in Shangxiataoping for several days.This place is on the easternmost side of "Xiling Monkey Creek", close to Yiling.Poor monkeys are naughty, and Shangxiataoping has long since disappeared.
He is still squatting between the mountains and forests, and what is reflected in his eyes is the fire on the south bank.
In this battle, Zhiyin sent out another sly soldier, which is really majestic.
He slowly stroked the longevity knife at his waist, covering up all the anxiety in his heart, with a calm and calm face as always.
Behind him, followed by a line of Yizhou sergeants crouching.The Yizhou army has strict discipline. Except for some people whose quiver was occasionally stolen by the monkey in the mountain, the past few days have been calm and no Jingzhou people have noticed.
Be on time.
Be on time.
Meng Dingshan silently recited the words Zhang Zhiyin left at the time of parting several times in his heart, trying to calm down his anxious mood.
He saw that the gate of Yiling City was wide open, and the main force of Jingzhou's Chinese army rushed out, ready for battle.
The person standing on the chariot was different from what he had imagined, he was just a young man of about 27 or [-].He had heard that Wu Yufeng, the chariot and cavalry general of Jingzhou, was arrogant, so he thought he was a pedantic old man who was over forty years old.
"...General."
Seeing that the general's chariot had come out, the soldiers lying behind him reminded him softly.
"No hurry, no hurry..."
Meng Dingshan replied, squeezed the Longevity Knife on his waist again, to calm his mind.
The battle on the south bank was still going on, and Zhang Zhiyin clearly had the upper hand. Before long, this outflanking team was about to be wiped out.
The people on the chariot watched impatiently, but finally couldn't hold back, and issued a military order.
Seeing Wu Yufeng raised his hands to give the order, the soldiers in the front row were all ready to start crossing the river.The army formation that had been formed just now suddenly shrank to the bank of the big river, completely losing their pace.
See the little knowledge, and wait for the time.
Meng Dingshan said it again in his mind, turned around and gestured.
The time has come.
******
Wu Yufeng couldn't bear to watch the soldiers on the south bank die in vain, so he couldn't resist giving the order to cross the river, but seeing the formation he had finally formed, he collapsed instantly.
What made him feel even more anxious was that another column of Yizhou soldiers jumped out from the direction of Monkey Creek on the north bank and went straight to the bank.The phalanx was in chaos, and the Jingzhou army, which was preparing to cross the river, was blocked by a group of Yizhou troops that suddenly appeared, and was defeated.
The leader is a general in white shirt and silver armor, holding a crescent-shaped cold knife, and the handle of the knife is a red bird with its head raised.Wu Yufeng instantly recognized this little famous long knife—the Longevity Sword[1]!
The owner of this saber, leading the Yizhou soldiers behind him like a broken bamboo, entered the hinterland of the Jingzhou army in a short time.
The man raised his head, his brows were firm, like the gathering wind congealed the snow, all the broken hair on his forehead was blown up by the night wind, and the "Meng" flag was flying in the sky behind him.
It's Meng Yu, Meng Dingshan!
The land of Yiling actually attracted two Yizhou tiger generals!
Wu Yufeng was stunned for a moment, only to see Meng Dingshan jumping onto the general's chariot with the Longevity Saber in hand, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, the Xinyuehan Saber rested on his neck.
"Drink your army and stop."
Meng Dingshan didn't threaten at all with his tone, but there was a natural coercion.
Wu Yufeng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "If you want to kill, you can kill. The Jingzhou army only knows how to die in battle, but doesn't know how to surrender."
"Okay. Have backbone." Meng Dingshan replied briefly, about to use his strength.At this moment, an arrow pierced through the wind and pierced through Meng Dingshan's right forearm.
"General!"
Jiang Rongjie came galloping on a brown horse and shouted at Wu Yufeng.
The arrow just now was exactly the Longevity Saber he shot to shoot down Meng Dingshan.Unexpectedly, Meng Dingshan endured this arrow without saying a word, gritted his teeth, and... didn't even shake a bit.
Seeing this, Wu Yufeng was furious, and shouted at him: "Command the army, leave me alone!"
The formation of the Jingzhou army had long been in disarray, and it was rampaged by the Yizhou army on the north bank, and it almost collapsed for thousands of miles.Some brave people crossed the river along the bridge, but they were cleaned up by Zhang Zhiyin's army on the south bank.
Seeing this, Jiang Rongjie was impatient, and led the fast-attacking light cavalry behind him into the battle, guiding the Jingzhou army to line up.
The chaotic and fleeing Jingzhou army could not hear his orders. Jiang Rongjie resented the loose atmosphere in the army, so he had to take the fast attack light cavalry to kill the enemy alone.
The horse captain's sword is indeed more advantageous than the infantry's short sword. Just now, the Yizhou army's momentum of singing like a broken bamboo was completely destroyed by Jiang Rongjie's hard slate.
Seeing this, Meng Dingshan pulled out the bow and arrow pierced into his upper arm with his left hand, put away the longevity knife on Wu Yufeng's neck with his right hand, looked at him sideways, and said, "I respect you for being a hero. You can do what you want."
He put down these words and jumped into the melee on the ground.
******
Jingzhou's Qingqi fast attack team scattered the Yizhou army, which temporarily dampened the morale of the Yizhou army.Holding a saber in his hand, Jiang Rongjie passed by on a fast horse, laying dead bodies all the way.
He was riding lightly on a fast horse, and was ravaging the Yizhou army's charge back and forth, when suddenly a general in white shirt and silver armor stood in front of him, holding a cold moon scimitar - the person who kidnapped Wu Yufeng just now.
Jiang Rongjie looked up at the "Meng" flag that was hunting on the field, and guessed that this person was the "Shan" in "Five Tiger Generals of Yizhou, Drunk Mountain Yin Army Wolf", Meng Dingshan and Meng Yu.
This Meng Dingshan had no fear of galloping horses, he just stood still and waited for Jiang Rongjie to come galloping.
Jiang Rongjie knew that this person was a general of Yizhou, so he was even more unceremonious. With great strength under his feet and a fast horse, he accelerated towards Mengding Mountain.In my heart, I only hope that the front hoof will step on this person's chest, and the blow will be hit.
Meng Dingshan spotted the fast horse, when he was only two or three feet away from him, he fell down, raised the saber in his hand, and slashed at the front hooves of the long-lived saber angrily.
The horse neighed in grief and anger, and fell to the ground far away with momentum.Jiang Rongjie, who was on horseback, was thrown by the river, and the pain from the sudden fall made him unable to stand up at all.
Meng Dingshan didn't take the opportunity to step forward and give him a final blow, but waited for Jiang Rongjie to get up and stand still before pinching the Longevity Knife.He asked succinctly, "War? Or peace?"
The injury from falling from the horse left Jiang Rongjie's mouth and nose full of blood. He didn't bother to wipe it off, so he just laughed wildly and shouted, "I'd rather die than let the thief!"
"Okay!" Meng Dingshan responded, raised the Longevity Saber, and said, "Let the horse come here!"
The author has something to say: [1] Longevity Knife: The prototype is the saber "Daxia Longque" owned by Jin Wengong, the Five Overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period.The blade has an arc, the handle is the head of a rosefinch, and the back of the blade is engraved with the words "ancient sharp weapon, Wu Chuzhanlu, Daxia Longque".
☆, death knell
Jiang Rongjie was seriously injured and was beheaded by Meng Dingshan before he could survive two or three rounds.
He died heroically. Although he could no longer stand and knelt on one knee, he was still supported by a saber, with his head held high.
Although Meng Dingshan beheaded him under his horse, he really admired Jiang Rongjie's righteousness and courage. He bowed to his body before returning to the battlefield with the Longevity Saber.
The Qingqi fast-break team just now has been surrounded by several soldiers from the north shore, and they are in a mess.Zhang Zhiyin also cleaned up the south bank, crossed the river, and reunited with Meng Dingshan.
The two of them looked at each other, although they didn't say anything clearly, they both knew what the other was thinking——
No matter how difficult it is for the current Yiling Jingzhou army to form an army, it will be impossible to break into an army.Now, only the last blow is left.
The master will be captured.
******
Wu Yufeng was really brave.
He uses the Fentian Sword, but this sword is longer than ordinary swords.The moves are also quite strange, not so much a sword, some moves are more like a halberd, such as dragging the sword and cutting the sword back.
"It seems to have deliberately imitated Chang Ge." Zhang Zhiyin commented in a low voice.
Meng Dingshan didn't make it clear.Zhang Zhiyin understood it, and so did he.
This person's tricks are indeed like Changge.But only similar in spirit, Chang Ge's most exquisite body skills are completely different. Naturally, he can't exert the Raksha power of Chang Ge's ability to block people and kill people, and Buddhas to block and kill Buddhas.
Zhang Zhiyin wanted to go forward, but Meng Dingshan gently stopped him.
"I come."
Meng Dingshan gave a brief explanation, raised the Longevity Saber and charged forward.He drank away the Yizhou soldiers who were fighting with Jingzhou Lord General Wu Yufeng, Wu Yufeng turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Meng Dingshan who came.
He chuckled: "Let the chariot go, General Dingshan, do you have any regrets?"
Meng Dingshan replied calmly, "I have no regrets."
Wu Yufeng raised his sword, and said with a long smile, "Then you will regret it now!"
This is a head-to-head fight.
The two fought from the shallow lawn to the Pentium River, after dozens of rounds, Meng Dingshan gradually gained the upper hand and forced Wu Yufeng, only one step away from the Pentium River.
In the battle, Meng Dingshan didn't use any tricks, only used the Longevity Saber to take it head-on, no matter how ever-changing Wu Yufeng's Fentian Sword moves, he still blatantly suppressed it.
The two fought hand-to-hand, Meng Dingshan blocked with all his strength, ignoring the arrow wound on his right forearm, blood poured out.
Wu Yufeng was pushed back a step by the brute force of the block, his foot slipped, and he almost fell into the river.
Meng Dingshan subconsciously stepped forward to pull him, but was thrown away by Wu Yufeng.
Wu Yufeng sat on the bank of the big river, the sounds of soldiers fighting could be heard in his ears.The raging flames of war lit up the shallows in front of the city, allowing him to see clearly the singing and aggressive Yizhou Army and the fleeing Jingzhou Army.
This battle has been completely lost.
I'm afraid, since the accident with the luggage and boat, there is no chance of winning.
The one-day period for food and grass is more likely to be planned by the other party.
Wu Yufeng took a last look at Meng Dingshan and Zhang Zhiyin carefully.Meng Dingshan, in white shirt and silver armor, is mighty and valiant; Zhang Zhiyin is calm and wise in black robe and light armor.The light of the flames of war depicted the silhouettes of the two, and Wu Yufeng only felt that the figures of the two were stretched long, while he was like a defeated pheasant.
He laughed miserably, vaguely remembering the heavy oath he made a few days ago.
——If you don't retreat an inch, you won't pay back if you don't fix it.
"Since Yiling is lost, how can I face General Xinzhong, and how can I face Yiling folks!"
Wu Yufeng changed his serious expression in an instant, touched the Fen Tianjian beside him and wanted to kill himself.Meng Dingshan's eyes were ill, but he didn't have time to step forward.
Seeing Meng Dingshan's expression, Zhang Zhiyin threw out his Dragon Tooth dagger [1], Dragon Fang passed through the wind, and the hilt hit Wu Yufeng's wrist.
Wu Yufeng's mouth went numb, and the Fentian Sword fell to the ground with a clang.
Meng Dingshan looked gratefully at Zhang Zhiyin who made a timely move.Then looking at Wu Yufeng, he said grandly: "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness is really a coward. A real man, he will try his best, so why not be afraid to fight again!"
Zhang Zhiyin was more direct, and told the people around him: "Hold him down and watch, don't allow him to commit suicide."
The battle of Yiling, which has been planned for a long time, will finally come to an end.
In another place, a good show is about to be staged.
******
Yuzhou.
Bianliang.Miyagi.
"Someone is going to kill me."
"Who is going to kill me!!"
Chi Shouan, the lord of Yuzhou, ran madly on the winding corridors of the palace city.Lu Ben around has long been used to it.
Only Chi Shouan knew that this time it was real.
He ran wildly on the winding corridor, grabbed a soldier guarding the palace and shouted at him: "Hurry up! Send a letter to my cousin! My cousin is Jingzhou Shizi Chi Risheng! We will not form an alliance with Wu, Surrender to Jingzhou, surrender immediately!!"
"Shou'an. What nonsense are you talking about. Yuzhou is Yuzhou, and neither side will surrender."
General Dian Zijing's voice came from one end of the curved corridor, but Chi Shouan's face turned pale with fright at this plain sentence, and he immediately lost the soldiers he had caught just now, and ran away in another direction in a daze.
The soldier lowered his head, afraid that Dian Zijing would notice anything strange when he passed by.
He is Lu Ben.No matter how disliked the lord is, he is also loyal to the lord, not the general Dian Zijing.
******
Jingzhou.
Jianping City.
Chang Ge stood in front of the army on horseback, Ang Tian's war drum had been beaten three times, and the gate of Jianping City was still closed.
Upstairs above the city gate, there was only one person.
Zhu Zheng sat calmly in the middle of the city gate, playing the piano calmly.The sound of the piano is like the pine under the moon, which does not have a sense of calmness and Zen.The soldiers in Yizhou whispered to each other that the new prefect of Jianping City in Jingzhou was sitting on the top of the city gate playing the piano, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Chang Ge put Shen Shaji on his shoulder, tilted his head and said in a loud voice: "Who am I to be the new prefect? It turns out to be the famous Mr. Shanhe from Jingzhou. Why, Mr. Chang is uncomfortable doing things in the temple. I want to come to this county County Experience Experience?"
Mr. Shanhe didn't pay any attention to it, he still stood still and stroked the guqin.
It is Jianping City again.
Chang Ge thought that a few months ago, when the Jingzhou Army besieged Jianping City, he was also desperate, and arranged for Bu Xing to lead people away, while he rode alone to call for battle.
However, now the situation is reversed, the Yizhou army encircled Jianping City, and Zhu Zheng was replaced by Zhu Zheng who attacked alone in front of the formation.
"Times have changed and the world has changed. Mister also has this day when he is singled out."
Mr. Shanhe was unmoved, and said calmly: "To guard Jianping, Li Shouzheng, Li Shouzheng, the captain of Jianping County. I am just a civil servant and prefect. How can I call it a battle?"
Chang Ge provoked again: "In ancient times, Mr. Wolong had a plan to empty the city. Why, today is Mr. Shanhe's turn to play the empty city again? Unfortunately, today you Jianping City, whether you are empty or not, I have to enter or not. Enter."
Mr. Shanhe pressed the piano, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.Standing awe-inspiringly on the top of the city gate, he replied with certainty: "Didn't the general send troops into the city long ago, if there is an empty city in it, just ask your own troops and you will know."
Chang Ge heard the words and confessed: "Ming people don't speak dark words. I have already prepared colorful gifts in your city, and I should cooperate with the inside and outside. I only persuade you to surrender as soon as possible."
Zhu Zheng stood on the gate tower, looked at him coldly, and spoke loudly:
"Delusional."
Chang Ge chuckled, looked up at the moon, counted the time in his heart, and said, "Then sir, just wait and see if I am delusional."
Chang Ge raised his left hand and shouted: "Huo Gong, get ready."
The Yizhou army behind him changed formation in an instant, and the fire attacking troops quickly gathered behind the shield soldiers, forming groups of three, and burning their bows with fire.
Fire giant arrows interspersed in the sides of each camp, just waiting for orders.
The strong wind raised Chang Ge's general robe, and the pure black general flag he used stood up in front of Jianping City, like a guard of honor for King Yamara.
******
Jingzhou.
Gangneung City.
Two hundred miles away, the battle of horses screaming in Yiling and the flames of battle flags cannot be conveyed here at all.In the city of Jiangling, the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing are raising the peace, Shizi Chi Risheng is hugging the warm and fragrant nephrite, drinking the intoxicating aroma of the famous Yizhou wine pipa.
A muffled thunder rumbled past, which seemed incompatible with the sound of harmony and music in the hall.
"Report-"
With a long whistle from the commanding soldier, the door of the temple was quickly knocked open, and a commanding soldier tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.
The slanting wind and cold rain outside the hall suddenly blew into the hall, extinguishing several palace lanterns.Immediately afterwards, there was a flash of lightning, which made Jiangling's palace city pale.
Shi Zichi Risheng was furious, threw the gold and jade wine bottle in his hand, and yelled angrily: "Where is the order of the soldiers! Don't you have any eyes!" All the musicians were frightened and held their breath, and the lingering music in the hall stopped suddenly .
As if matching the prince's anger, a thunderclap shook the entire Miyagi.
"Report, report... Yiling is lost... Yiling is lost!" Ling Bing desperately finished this sentence, and before rolling a few times on the palace gate, he lost his breath.
There were still clusters of singing, dancing and music performers in the hall, but everyone's faces were dull, and they couldn't understand the consequences of "lost Yiling".
The gate guard immediately checked his pulse and reported: "Report to your son, this man is seriously injured and has lost his breath."
——Yiling... lost?
"Report—Wuling is urgent, Lingling is urgent!!"
It seemed that another soldier was coming straight, but Chi Risheng was already too weak to listen to what he said.He sat in the hall in some astonishment, looking at the wooden dancer and the soldier who fell to the ground in front of him, as if all this was just a huge farce.
He stared blankly at General Cheng Jianxian, who was at the side, as if he was expecting him to come up with some idea.
The winter rain outside the palace was falling fast, as if it was about to smash the tiles of the palace city.For a moment, the people in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, and the shattered candles lit up everyone's faces with gloom.
"It's gone! My lord is gone!"
I don't know which undignified little eunuch's high-pitched voice broke the silence of Jiangling's palace city.
Shizichi Risheng got up slowly in disbelief, and walked out of the hall with heavy steps.
The wind and rain were raging, and the solemn Miyagi could only silently accept the ravages of the winter rain.
There was no words in the attic, and Chi Risheng's heart was frightened by several cold bells piercing through the wind and rain.
He looked up, only then realized——
Black clouds billowed, almost crushing Jiangling Palace City.The strong wind and cold rain finally woke up Chi Risheng, who was wearing warm wine and the scent of fragrance just now.
In the dark night, there is an old figure.The old man leaned on crutches and coughed again and again, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment.Behind him was Liu Shiqing, the Minister of Commerce.Liu Shiqing just hurriedly followed, holding an oil-paper umbrella for the old man.
"Bastard! Bastard!"
The old prime ministers Mei and Cha walked towards him along the stone steps in front of the hall, striding forward with all their might.He was panting heavily, as if he had exhausted all his strength walking through the distance in the wind and rain.
There are still three steps left to go to the palace, Mei He inspected Chi Risheng with a sluggish face, trembling with anger, eyes full of resentment and anger.
"you……!"
Before he could speak, he was furious, and a mouthful of blood was spitting out in front of Chi Risheng.
The heavy rain quickly washed away the warm blood that the old minister had vomited in front of the palace, turning it into streaks of blood, which were suddenly melted by the cold winter rain and never seen again.
"Badness!"
The old Prime Minister Mei and Cha finally couldn't hold back, and knelt in front of the hall and wept bitterly.
Shang Shuling was much calmer than him, he still held an umbrella for his teacher, and said calmly: "Yiling has been broken, in order to protect the overall situation, I implore the son to stay away from the Yunxi Palace in Baling."
The author has something to say: [1] Dragon Tooth Daggers: A pair of daggers with dark forged dragon patterns on the blades.The prototype comes from "Dragon Scale", one of the hundreds of daggers cast by Cao Pi.
*Meng Dingshan's light armor is for attacking generals from the front; Zhang Zhiyin has more wits and chooses light leather armor, without armor
** Zhang Zhiyin won the battle with resourcefulness, and his sidearms are a pair of dragon-toothed daggers, he is not good at fighting head-on, so here Meng Dingshan stopped him and replaced him.
☆, fall
Li Shouzheng came out in formation, and Chang Ge quickly counted the approximate number of troops of the Jingzhou Army in the formation.
About 5 people.It is consistent with the total number of previous intelligence.
Why didn't Jianping go to support Yiling?
Could it be that Zhu Zheng didn't make an outline and make plans this time?
However, Chang Ge couldn't bear to think about it, and the fire attacker immediately opened the siege curtain.
"Kill the fire attackers! Protect Jianping! Don't disturb the residents!" Li Shouzheng, Lieutenant Li Shouzheng, captain of Jianping County of the Jingzhou Army, shouted, commanding the light cavalry united around him to quickly charge towards the Yizhou Army's position.
The giant crossbows fired repeatedly, several light cavalry were shot off their horses, and many good horses were broken in front of the formation.
Greedy Wolf stood on the chariot, and quickly ordered: the attackers on fire retreated, and the shield soldiers changed their formation, showing the posture of a copper wall and an iron wall.The spearmen quickly stepped forward and lined up in a staggered line.
Several fast horses of the Jingzhou army had stepped onto the shield wall, intending to break through the front line.The spearmen of the Yizhou Army cooperated quickly and destroyed several horses one after another.Once the Jingzhou light cavalry fell off their horses, they were immediately killed by Yizhou archers from a high place.
Li Shouzheng was still leading part of the light cavalry trying to tear apart the offensive and defensive lines of the Yizhou army, while Zhang Zhishun led another group of light cavalry, turned their horses and came straight towards Changge.
"If you want to capture the general, first try to see if you have that ability."
Chang Ge smiled lightly, and waved the sand halberd on his shoulder, ready to fight.
Zhang Zhishun caught a glimpse of Shen Shaji who had killed two generals in a row before, and felt a little panicked.He still rode his horse forward, but made a signal to the archer on the city gate tower.
A moment of cavalry
"By the way, just now...was there a quarrel in the hall?" Chang Ge asked inexplicably, "Just now, in my dream, I heard the quarrel, but it wasn't real, and I heard..."
Chang Ge pursed her lips, and said the name that touched her heart: "I also heard... the name of my father, Chang Chuan."
Zhu Zheng suddenly looked up at him and asked, "What did you hear?"
...what did I hear just now...
Chang Ge frowned and began to think hard.Just now, half asleep and half awake, I only heard a few words.Now he wakes up from the dream and tries hard to remember, but he can't remember anymore no matter what.
A series of memories made his forehead ache, but the hazy dream was like water flowing between fingers, passing by in a flash, and he could no longer pursue it.
Chang Ge finally gave up, shook his head and said, "I can't remember."
Zhu Zheng seemed to be relieved, and sank into his usual calm and indifferent expression.
"However... it should be because I heard the word 'Chang Chuan'..." Chang Ge frowned, tilting his head and recalling, "It's also because of this that the minister woke up..."
He could no longer hear what Chang Ge said later.
A sinking force pulled Zhu Zheng into the deep pool, and Zhu Zheng could hardly breathe, let alone speak.
He was about to drown.
Standing in front of him is the young Chang Ge.
Chang Ge, with high brows and deep eyes, was looking at Zhu Zheng with disappointment, his voice seemed to pass through the water waves, which seemed rather weird.
"It was Chang Chuan who you gave to die."
"you disgust me."
Chang Ge looked at him coldly, as if to penetrate Zhu Zheng's heart.
He wanted to talk, to justify.
But he couldn't open his mouth.
Zhu Zheng was struggling in the deep pool. He stretched out his hand in the direction of Chang Ge, but he couldn't stop the bottomless abyss.
The sudden feeling of suffocation pulled Zhu Zheng up from the deep pool of memories, he woke up with a feeling of melancholy, and sat in the study of the prefect's mansion in Jianping City.
Just now, he fell asleep on top of a pile of bamboo slips and scrolls.Reading Gu poison books for several days really made his body overdrawn.
Zhu Zheng moved his body and subconsciously looked at the furnishings of the study.
The familiar scenery and furnishings around reminded him of Chang Ge's second capture of Zhu Zheng the last time he came here.
At that time, Zhu Zheng pretended to be suffering from Ruanjinsan, and Chang Ge tricked him into feeding him several cups of wine.
At that time, there was only a shallow old hatred between the two of them, and there was no deep estrangement yet.
The memory in the dream was extremely real, he subconsciously touched the left sleeve pocket, and touched a golden jade crisp.
Just be prepared.
The burden on Zhu Zheng's heart seemed to ease a little.
******
The long river canyon, the moon is bright on the river.
After crossing Jiuwan Creek, there is finally a shoal on the south bank.People in Jingzhou are elegant, and a bamboo forest is planted along the river, overlooking the Lion Rock on the north bank.
A fisherman, wearing a cape hat, sat on the bow of the boat, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the forest.
Recently, water ghosts have occurred frequently, and the season is not good.On weekdays, he was full of night fishing fires, but today he beat him alone.It was nearly deep winter, and the sounds of apes on both sides of the strait had ceased to be restless.
In the middle of the big river, only the shadow of the moon is left alone.
A boat with an extremely deep draft broke through the moon's shadow from the center, causing ripples on the river surface. These tiny ripples rippled out one after another, until the fishermen's boat had already pushed the waves into a big wave.
There were several dull sounds in the water, and the familiar sound of water ghosts chiseling the boat made fishermen frown.
The fully loaded black boat dumped in the river before it lasted long, and was swallowed by the river in a short while.
The surface of the river returned to calm again, leaving only the shadow of the moon alone.
The fisherman collected the fishing rod calmly, and glanced at the basket that found nothing.
Years of wars, frequent occurrence of water ghosts, and now even food and grass are going to Yiling counties and counties to plunder. In such troubled times, the Lord of Jingzhou will not give up killing.He took off his bamboo hat, sighed heavily, and swung the Jiangxin fishing boat towards Jiuwan River.
Nothing has been found, and it has been closed in recent years.Today, I really don't know how to explain to my old wife.
******
Jingzhou.
The mountains and forests on the south bank of the Great River.
Jiuwan Creek is indeed the last shoal before entering Xiling Gorge, which is suitable for camping.On the first day of arrival, Zhang Zhiyin set up a small temporary military camp in Ma'anshan, leaving some troops behind to pretend to be busy.
After crossing Ma'anshan, there are layers of ladder rocks, and further forward are the upper seven and lower eight ridges.The local people said that the dangerous peaks here are sharp and sharp, with seven peaks and eight valleys, so it got the soil name of "upper seven and lower eight".
After passing the seemingly nowhere to go, there is a slender mountain road leading directly to Ximen Mountain in the north of the south bank and Heibao Mountain and Baiyun Mountain on the east side of the South Bank. Following these two peaks, you can go straight to Dao Mingcui Valley, which is across the water from Yiling City.
Right now, Zhang Zhiyin is sitting in one of the valleys in the upper seven lower eight ridges, quietly listening to the sound of turtledoves all around.
In front of him is a slender mountain road, which the locals call Longzui Mountain Road.It was also through this mountain road that they attacked up and down and harassed left and right, so that few of the supply ships could reach Yiling.It's just that Xiling Gorge is really torrential, and he lost a few soldiers because of it.
"Report, General. The Jingzhou Army smuggled the luggage overnight and it has been destroyed." A soldier with a face hurriedly walked up the hillside and slid down the slope, walked quickly in front of Zhang Zhiyin, and shouted.
Zhang Zhiyin gestured for him to keep a low voice.He approached the soldier and asked, "How many ships are there?"
The soldiers immediately lowered their voices and reported in a low voice: "A row of boats, a total of six boats, were all destroyed. But... the luggage is still being salvaged, and the current is too fast, and at most only [-]% of it can be recovered."
Zhang Zhiyin nodded and ordered: "Go and tell Captain Chen, the leader of the team, don't get entangled with the baggage, the lives of the soldiers are the most important thing."
Hearing this, the stern soldier finally raised his head and glanced at General Zhiyin in front of him.Zhang Zhi was hiding in the shadow of the valley, but his eyes were flickering with light, full of the bright moon of Zigui.
"Go, it's cold at night. Don't let the soldiers go down the river again." Seeing that he didn't move, Zhang Zhiyin immediately ordered.
"Yes!"
The visitor saluted and hurriedly ran in the direction of Xiaowei Chen.
The solemn treetops in the valley trembled suddenly, causing a group of turtledoves to take off in a rustle.
"General! Do you want to chase after him!" Xiaowei Qi beside him was always alert. Seeing the flock of birds startled suddenly, he guessed that they should be scouts sent by Jingzhou to investigate.
Zhang Zhiyin nodded, and said softly, "Chasing. But, don't grab it, just chase as you like."
"Yes!" Captain Qi took the order, turned around and headed towards Jingniao.
Zhang Zhiyin plucked a fallen leaf from his shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Seeing the small and knowing the truth, wait for the time."
This is what he said when he and Dingshan parted.
Zhang Zhiyin was worried, not knowing what was going on with Meng Dingshan's preparations.
******
Next to the Xiling official road, there is a stretch of hills.
The scenery here is beautiful and the products are rich.The people of Yiling don't like hunting on weekdays, and they have a preference for birds and animals, and they feed them from time to time.Over time, the Yiling people raised monkeys in the Shangxiataoping hills on the north bank.The monkeys have nothing to do when they have nothing to do, and they will go to the official road of Xiling in groups to snatch the items of passers-by.
Xu Shi grew up listening to the sound of apes on both sides of the strait. Yiling people are not annoyed by this group of apes who love to toss around. Instead, they gave this section of hills and streams troubled by monkeys a good name, called "Xiling Monkey Creek" ".
Eight of the ten old Yiling boatmen will tell you vividly about the "Xiling Monkey Creek" next to the official road in Xiling, and two will warn you not to mess with the monkeys in the "Xiling Monkey Creek".Very naughty.
The two woodcutters came down the mountain late, carrying two loads of firewood on their backs, and walking along the Xiling official road beside the Monkey Creek.
The two of them walked together, fearing that something might happen if they walk at night, or they might be ambushed by monkeys from Xiling Monkey Creek.
The metasequoia on the roadside trembled, and a Xiling monkey jumped out of it.The monkey with long hands and a small face landed in front of the two of them, playfully imitating their carrying firewood.
The two woodcutters smiled and passed by, not paying attention at all.
Xiling Monkey let them walk away, sat on the ground, scratched his cheek with his feet.Beside the monkey is the tool he used to imitate the woodworker's "firewood pole".
It was a bundle of bows and arrows, and the tips of the arrows were shining with a gloomy cold light.
☆, keeping the law
Jingzhou.
Yiling City.The main account of the shogunate.
The military report sent by the scouts was exactly the same as Wu Yufeng's previous speculation.
On the voyage from Jiuwanxi to Xilingxia, there were no water ghosts at all, but the Jingzhou army was making troubles.
Wu Yufeng looked at the sand table in front of him, only feeling a little uneasy in his heart.He sent out scouts, and immediately found the answer he wanted.It makes sense, but all of this... seems a little too smooth, so smooth that it's unbelievable.
He couldn't believe that such a simple formation would be at the level of Zhang Zhiyin, the third tiger among Yizhou's five tiger generals.This person ranks second only to Zhenbei General Bu Xing and Southern General Meng Yu in the "Drunken Mountain Yin Army Wolf".
But time has run out for him to think about it.The food and grass left on hand can only last for one day.In Yiling County, they have repeatedly collected grain and grass, because the residents need to store winter grain in winter, and the year is approaching, so it is even more difficult to confiscate.After a few days of collection, only some old broken grains and out-of-shape hay were handed in.
This kind of result can still cause public dissatisfaction, and in order to resist the surrender, it almost killed people.
If you can't wait for the supply of food and grass, even the boats, and the payment of the residents' food and grass, it will take a day or two at the earliest for the prime minister to reply to the letter. At that time...the army has already run out of food.
Wu Yufeng thought about it in every possible way, time was running out, and the only way before him was to attack.
"Honor Festival."
"General. Are you looking for me?"
Hearing the sound, Jiang Rongjie, Lieutenant of the Zan Military Academy, immediately opened his tent and came in, saluting.
Wu Yufeng didn't want to order.He always felt that this matter was so thought-provoking that it was too much of a coincidence.
But he had to order.
Soldiers can fight bloody battles, but they must not live without food for a day.This is self-defeating.
Wu Yufeng finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and deployed: "You take all the light cavalry to quickly attack the Jiuwanxi Jingzhou camp; then gather elite soldiers and divide into three groups to outflank, take the wild boar mountain and Ma'an mountain on the left; Baiyun mountain and Heibao mountain on the right ; Take the Longzui Mountain Road in the middle, and attack from all directions, it is best to press the Jingzhou army to death in the upper seven and lower eight ridges."
"Your Majesty, take the order!" Jiang Rongjie took the order, and hastily set out the arrangements.
Yiling is only more than 80 miles away from Jiuwan River.
Even if the mountain road is difficult, within an hour, no matter what, the Qingqi fast attack team can reach the Jiuwanxi camp of the Yizhou Army.
Wu Yufeng felt uneasy in his heart, so he forced himself to comfort himself: in at least two hours, the first batch of fast attack light cavalry will return to camp.
******
On the mountain road at night, the horseshoe is sick.
Jiang Rongjie knew in his heart why Wu Yufeng suddenly launched a surprise attack because of the imminent shortage of food and grass.
With anxiety in his heart, he couldn't help urging the fast attack light cavalry team to move faster.It took them less than half an hour to reach the eighty-mile mountain road.
This is the result of the best light cavalry team in the whole battalion, plus the light cavalry soldiers sprinting at full speed.
In the middle of the night, Jiuwanxi was quiet, and the camp of the Yizhou Army in Jiuwanxi gradually appeared in front of us.
No lights at all?
Jiang Rongjie became suspicious, and hurried to the Jiuwanxi camp of the Yizhou Army.
He rode alone and went straight into the Jiuwanxi camp in Yizhou, but there was no obstacle.Jiang Rongjie galloped all the way, before entering the main tent, raised his saber to break the tent.
No one is empty.
Not only was there no one there, there was not even any furnishings.
"Mingxiu Plank Road..."
Jiang Rongjie was startled, he turned around abruptly, and shouted at the light cavalry behind him, "No good! Go back to Shuyiling!"
******
Wu Yufeng didn't wait for the news of Jiang Rongjie, but the battle drums of the Yizhou Army sounded outside the city.
He was startled suddenly, and when he climbed up the tower, he saw Nan'an screaming and killing all over the sky.
The Yizhou army had no siege equipment at all, they were full of sharp knives, and they fought hand-to-hand with the Jingzhou army. The army flag with the word "Yi" rustled in the night wind, and the starlight of torches and rockets illuminated the flag in high spirits.
Wu Yufeng narrowed his eyes and carefully identified——
The three-way outflanking team that originally followed the Qingqi fast attack team encountered the main force of the Yizhou army head-on at Mingcui Valley on the south bank, and Meimei fought a tough battle.
In the night wind, a flag was flying, and the river wind blew the flag into a whistling sound.However, the color of this flag is heavy, and the words on the flag are covered by the darkness of night.
The generals of the Jingzhou army will cross the river, and before they can divide their troops into three groups, without any psychological preparation, they will be overwhelmed by the Yizhou army who have been ambushing for a long time, and there is no line of defense at all.
Finally, the Yizhou Army blew the charging bronze horn. The sound of the horn came through the moist river mist, like a death knell piercing the heart.
The commander commanding the charge held up the torch to illuminate the direction, and Wu Yufeng finally saw the other flag clearly through a little dim light——
This is a red flag with a black background, which is the same color as the general flag used by General Changge of the previous dynasty.Wu Yufeng couldn't be more familiar with this color scheme.
The wind was blowing, and the split flag stood by the river in the night, as if announcing the end of Jingzhou's rule in Yiling.
There is a large character on the flag: "Zhang".
Wu Yufeng was startled.
The three-way outflanking team actually encountered Yizhou's main force, Zhang Zhiyin, head-on!He rushed down the tower, ordered the main force in the middle army, and drove out of the city.
******
North shore.
Meng Dingshan has been hiding in Shangxiataoping for several days.This place is on the easternmost side of "Xiling Monkey Creek", close to Yiling.Poor monkeys are naughty, and Shangxiataoping has long since disappeared.
He is still squatting between the mountains and forests, and what is reflected in his eyes is the fire on the south bank.
In this battle, Zhiyin sent out another sly soldier, which is really majestic.
He slowly stroked the longevity knife at his waist, covering up all the anxiety in his heart, with a calm and calm face as always.
Behind him, followed by a line of Yizhou sergeants crouching.The Yizhou army has strict discipline. Except for some people whose quiver was occasionally stolen by the monkey in the mountain, the past few days have been calm and no Jingzhou people have noticed.
Be on time.
Be on time.
Meng Dingshan silently recited the words Zhang Zhiyin left at the time of parting several times in his heart, trying to calm down his anxious mood.
He saw that the gate of Yiling City was wide open, and the main force of Jingzhou's Chinese army rushed out, ready for battle.
The person standing on the chariot was different from what he had imagined, he was just a young man of about 27 or [-].He had heard that Wu Yufeng, the chariot and cavalry general of Jingzhou, was arrogant, so he thought he was a pedantic old man who was over forty years old.
"...General."
Seeing that the general's chariot had come out, the soldiers lying behind him reminded him softly.
"No hurry, no hurry..."
Meng Dingshan replied, squeezed the Longevity Knife on his waist again, to calm his mind.
The battle on the south bank was still going on, and Zhang Zhiyin clearly had the upper hand. Before long, this outflanking team was about to be wiped out.
The people on the chariot watched impatiently, but finally couldn't hold back, and issued a military order.
Seeing Wu Yufeng raised his hands to give the order, the soldiers in the front row were all ready to start crossing the river.The army formation that had been formed just now suddenly shrank to the bank of the big river, completely losing their pace.
See the little knowledge, and wait for the time.
Meng Dingshan said it again in his mind, turned around and gestured.
The time has come.
******
Wu Yufeng couldn't bear to watch the soldiers on the south bank die in vain, so he couldn't resist giving the order to cross the river, but seeing the formation he had finally formed, he collapsed instantly.
What made him feel even more anxious was that another column of Yizhou soldiers jumped out from the direction of Monkey Creek on the north bank and went straight to the bank.The phalanx was in chaos, and the Jingzhou army, which was preparing to cross the river, was blocked by a group of Yizhou troops that suddenly appeared, and was defeated.
The leader is a general in white shirt and silver armor, holding a crescent-shaped cold knife, and the handle of the knife is a red bird with its head raised.Wu Yufeng instantly recognized this little famous long knife—the Longevity Sword[1]!
The owner of this saber, leading the Yizhou soldiers behind him like a broken bamboo, entered the hinterland of the Jingzhou army in a short time.
The man raised his head, his brows were firm, like the gathering wind congealed the snow, all the broken hair on his forehead was blown up by the night wind, and the "Meng" flag was flying in the sky behind him.
It's Meng Yu, Meng Dingshan!
The land of Yiling actually attracted two Yizhou tiger generals!
Wu Yufeng was stunned for a moment, only to see Meng Dingshan jumping onto the general's chariot with the Longevity Saber in hand, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, the Xinyuehan Saber rested on his neck.
"Drink your army and stop."
Meng Dingshan didn't threaten at all with his tone, but there was a natural coercion.
Wu Yufeng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "If you want to kill, you can kill. The Jingzhou army only knows how to die in battle, but doesn't know how to surrender."
"Okay. Have backbone." Meng Dingshan replied briefly, about to use his strength.At this moment, an arrow pierced through the wind and pierced through Meng Dingshan's right forearm.
"General!"
Jiang Rongjie came galloping on a brown horse and shouted at Wu Yufeng.
The arrow just now was exactly the Longevity Saber he shot to shoot down Meng Dingshan.Unexpectedly, Meng Dingshan endured this arrow without saying a word, gritted his teeth, and... didn't even shake a bit.
Seeing this, Wu Yufeng was furious, and shouted at him: "Command the army, leave me alone!"
The formation of the Jingzhou army had long been in disarray, and it was rampaged by the Yizhou army on the north bank, and it almost collapsed for thousands of miles.Some brave people crossed the river along the bridge, but they were cleaned up by Zhang Zhiyin's army on the south bank.
Seeing this, Jiang Rongjie was impatient, and led the fast-attacking light cavalry behind him into the battle, guiding the Jingzhou army to line up.
The chaotic and fleeing Jingzhou army could not hear his orders. Jiang Rongjie resented the loose atmosphere in the army, so he had to take the fast attack light cavalry to kill the enemy alone.
The horse captain's sword is indeed more advantageous than the infantry's short sword. Just now, the Yizhou army's momentum of singing like a broken bamboo was completely destroyed by Jiang Rongjie's hard slate.
Seeing this, Meng Dingshan pulled out the bow and arrow pierced into his upper arm with his left hand, put away the longevity knife on Wu Yufeng's neck with his right hand, looked at him sideways, and said, "I respect you for being a hero. You can do what you want."
He put down these words and jumped into the melee on the ground.
******
Jingzhou's Qingqi fast attack team scattered the Yizhou army, which temporarily dampened the morale of the Yizhou army.Holding a saber in his hand, Jiang Rongjie passed by on a fast horse, laying dead bodies all the way.
He was riding lightly on a fast horse, and was ravaging the Yizhou army's charge back and forth, when suddenly a general in white shirt and silver armor stood in front of him, holding a cold moon scimitar - the person who kidnapped Wu Yufeng just now.
Jiang Rongjie looked up at the "Meng" flag that was hunting on the field, and guessed that this person was the "Shan" in "Five Tiger Generals of Yizhou, Drunk Mountain Yin Army Wolf", Meng Dingshan and Meng Yu.
This Meng Dingshan had no fear of galloping horses, he just stood still and waited for Jiang Rongjie to come galloping.
Jiang Rongjie knew that this person was a general of Yizhou, so he was even more unceremonious. With great strength under his feet and a fast horse, he accelerated towards Mengding Mountain.In my heart, I only hope that the front hoof will step on this person's chest, and the blow will be hit.
Meng Dingshan spotted the fast horse, when he was only two or three feet away from him, he fell down, raised the saber in his hand, and slashed at the front hooves of the long-lived saber angrily.
The horse neighed in grief and anger, and fell to the ground far away with momentum.Jiang Rongjie, who was on horseback, was thrown by the river, and the pain from the sudden fall made him unable to stand up at all.
Meng Dingshan didn't take the opportunity to step forward and give him a final blow, but waited for Jiang Rongjie to get up and stand still before pinching the Longevity Knife.He asked succinctly, "War? Or peace?"
The injury from falling from the horse left Jiang Rongjie's mouth and nose full of blood. He didn't bother to wipe it off, so he just laughed wildly and shouted, "I'd rather die than let the thief!"
"Okay!" Meng Dingshan responded, raised the Longevity Saber, and said, "Let the horse come here!"
The author has something to say: [1] Longevity Knife: The prototype is the saber "Daxia Longque" owned by Jin Wengong, the Five Overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period.The blade has an arc, the handle is the head of a rosefinch, and the back of the blade is engraved with the words "ancient sharp weapon, Wu Chuzhanlu, Daxia Longque".
☆, death knell
Jiang Rongjie was seriously injured and was beheaded by Meng Dingshan before he could survive two or three rounds.
He died heroically. Although he could no longer stand and knelt on one knee, he was still supported by a saber, with his head held high.
Although Meng Dingshan beheaded him under his horse, he really admired Jiang Rongjie's righteousness and courage. He bowed to his body before returning to the battlefield with the Longevity Saber.
The Qingqi fast-break team just now has been surrounded by several soldiers from the north shore, and they are in a mess.Zhang Zhiyin also cleaned up the south bank, crossed the river, and reunited with Meng Dingshan.
The two of them looked at each other, although they didn't say anything clearly, they both knew what the other was thinking——
No matter how difficult it is for the current Yiling Jingzhou army to form an army, it will be impossible to break into an army.Now, only the last blow is left.
The master will be captured.
******
Wu Yufeng was really brave.
He uses the Fentian Sword, but this sword is longer than ordinary swords.The moves are also quite strange, not so much a sword, some moves are more like a halberd, such as dragging the sword and cutting the sword back.
"It seems to have deliberately imitated Chang Ge." Zhang Zhiyin commented in a low voice.
Meng Dingshan didn't make it clear.Zhang Zhiyin understood it, and so did he.
This person's tricks are indeed like Changge.But only similar in spirit, Chang Ge's most exquisite body skills are completely different. Naturally, he can't exert the Raksha power of Chang Ge's ability to block people and kill people, and Buddhas to block and kill Buddhas.
Zhang Zhiyin wanted to go forward, but Meng Dingshan gently stopped him.
"I come."
Meng Dingshan gave a brief explanation, raised the Longevity Saber and charged forward.He drank away the Yizhou soldiers who were fighting with Jingzhou Lord General Wu Yufeng, Wu Yufeng turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Meng Dingshan who came.
He chuckled: "Let the chariot go, General Dingshan, do you have any regrets?"
Meng Dingshan replied calmly, "I have no regrets."
Wu Yufeng raised his sword, and said with a long smile, "Then you will regret it now!"
This is a head-to-head fight.
The two fought from the shallow lawn to the Pentium River, after dozens of rounds, Meng Dingshan gradually gained the upper hand and forced Wu Yufeng, only one step away from the Pentium River.
In the battle, Meng Dingshan didn't use any tricks, only used the Longevity Saber to take it head-on, no matter how ever-changing Wu Yufeng's Fentian Sword moves, he still blatantly suppressed it.
The two fought hand-to-hand, Meng Dingshan blocked with all his strength, ignoring the arrow wound on his right forearm, blood poured out.
Wu Yufeng was pushed back a step by the brute force of the block, his foot slipped, and he almost fell into the river.
Meng Dingshan subconsciously stepped forward to pull him, but was thrown away by Wu Yufeng.
Wu Yufeng sat on the bank of the big river, the sounds of soldiers fighting could be heard in his ears.The raging flames of war lit up the shallows in front of the city, allowing him to see clearly the singing and aggressive Yizhou Army and the fleeing Jingzhou Army.
This battle has been completely lost.
I'm afraid, since the accident with the luggage and boat, there is no chance of winning.
The one-day period for food and grass is more likely to be planned by the other party.
Wu Yufeng took a last look at Meng Dingshan and Zhang Zhiyin carefully.Meng Dingshan, in white shirt and silver armor, is mighty and valiant; Zhang Zhiyin is calm and wise in black robe and light armor.The light of the flames of war depicted the silhouettes of the two, and Wu Yufeng only felt that the figures of the two were stretched long, while he was like a defeated pheasant.
He laughed miserably, vaguely remembering the heavy oath he made a few days ago.
——If you don't retreat an inch, you won't pay back if you don't fix it.
"Since Yiling is lost, how can I face General Xinzhong, and how can I face Yiling folks!"
Wu Yufeng changed his serious expression in an instant, touched the Fen Tianjian beside him and wanted to kill himself.Meng Dingshan's eyes were ill, but he didn't have time to step forward.
Seeing Meng Dingshan's expression, Zhang Zhiyin threw out his Dragon Tooth dagger [1], Dragon Fang passed through the wind, and the hilt hit Wu Yufeng's wrist.
Wu Yufeng's mouth went numb, and the Fentian Sword fell to the ground with a clang.
Meng Dingshan looked gratefully at Zhang Zhiyin who made a timely move.Then looking at Wu Yufeng, he said grandly: "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness is really a coward. A real man, he will try his best, so why not be afraid to fight again!"
Zhang Zhiyin was more direct, and told the people around him: "Hold him down and watch, don't allow him to commit suicide."
The battle of Yiling, which has been planned for a long time, will finally come to an end.
In another place, a good show is about to be staged.
******
Yuzhou.
Bianliang.Miyagi.
"Someone is going to kill me."
"Who is going to kill me!!"
Chi Shouan, the lord of Yuzhou, ran madly on the winding corridors of the palace city.Lu Ben around has long been used to it.
Only Chi Shouan knew that this time it was real.
He ran wildly on the winding corridor, grabbed a soldier guarding the palace and shouted at him: "Hurry up! Send a letter to my cousin! My cousin is Jingzhou Shizi Chi Risheng! We will not form an alliance with Wu, Surrender to Jingzhou, surrender immediately!!"
"Shou'an. What nonsense are you talking about. Yuzhou is Yuzhou, and neither side will surrender."
General Dian Zijing's voice came from one end of the curved corridor, but Chi Shouan's face turned pale with fright at this plain sentence, and he immediately lost the soldiers he had caught just now, and ran away in another direction in a daze.
The soldier lowered his head, afraid that Dian Zijing would notice anything strange when he passed by.
He is Lu Ben.No matter how disliked the lord is, he is also loyal to the lord, not the general Dian Zijing.
******
Jingzhou.
Jianping City.
Chang Ge stood in front of the army on horseback, Ang Tian's war drum had been beaten three times, and the gate of Jianping City was still closed.
Upstairs above the city gate, there was only one person.
Zhu Zheng sat calmly in the middle of the city gate, playing the piano calmly.The sound of the piano is like the pine under the moon, which does not have a sense of calmness and Zen.The soldiers in Yizhou whispered to each other that the new prefect of Jianping City in Jingzhou was sitting on the top of the city gate playing the piano, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Chang Ge put Shen Shaji on his shoulder, tilted his head and said in a loud voice: "Who am I to be the new prefect? It turns out to be the famous Mr. Shanhe from Jingzhou. Why, Mr. Chang is uncomfortable doing things in the temple. I want to come to this county County Experience Experience?"
Mr. Shanhe didn't pay any attention to it, he still stood still and stroked the guqin.
It is Jianping City again.
Chang Ge thought that a few months ago, when the Jingzhou Army besieged Jianping City, he was also desperate, and arranged for Bu Xing to lead people away, while he rode alone to call for battle.
However, now the situation is reversed, the Yizhou army encircled Jianping City, and Zhu Zheng was replaced by Zhu Zheng who attacked alone in front of the formation.
"Times have changed and the world has changed. Mister also has this day when he is singled out."
Mr. Shanhe was unmoved, and said calmly: "To guard Jianping, Li Shouzheng, Li Shouzheng, the captain of Jianping County. I am just a civil servant and prefect. How can I call it a battle?"
Chang Ge provoked again: "In ancient times, Mr. Wolong had a plan to empty the city. Why, today is Mr. Shanhe's turn to play the empty city again? Unfortunately, today you Jianping City, whether you are empty or not, I have to enter or not. Enter."
Mr. Shanhe pressed the piano, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.Standing awe-inspiringly on the top of the city gate, he replied with certainty: "Didn't the general send troops into the city long ago, if there is an empty city in it, just ask your own troops and you will know."
Chang Ge heard the words and confessed: "Ming people don't speak dark words. I have already prepared colorful gifts in your city, and I should cooperate with the inside and outside. I only persuade you to surrender as soon as possible."
Zhu Zheng stood on the gate tower, looked at him coldly, and spoke loudly:
"Delusional."
Chang Ge chuckled, looked up at the moon, counted the time in his heart, and said, "Then sir, just wait and see if I am delusional."
Chang Ge raised his left hand and shouted: "Huo Gong, get ready."
The Yizhou army behind him changed formation in an instant, and the fire attacking troops quickly gathered behind the shield soldiers, forming groups of three, and burning their bows with fire.
Fire giant arrows interspersed in the sides of each camp, just waiting for orders.
The strong wind raised Chang Ge's general robe, and the pure black general flag he used stood up in front of Jianping City, like a guard of honor for King Yamara.
******
Jingzhou.
Gangneung City.
Two hundred miles away, the battle of horses screaming in Yiling and the flames of battle flags cannot be conveyed here at all.In the city of Jiangling, the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing are raising the peace, Shizi Chi Risheng is hugging the warm and fragrant nephrite, drinking the intoxicating aroma of the famous Yizhou wine pipa.
A muffled thunder rumbled past, which seemed incompatible with the sound of harmony and music in the hall.
"Report-"
With a long whistle from the commanding soldier, the door of the temple was quickly knocked open, and a commanding soldier tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.
The slanting wind and cold rain outside the hall suddenly blew into the hall, extinguishing several palace lanterns.Immediately afterwards, there was a flash of lightning, which made Jiangling's palace city pale.
Shi Zichi Risheng was furious, threw the gold and jade wine bottle in his hand, and yelled angrily: "Where is the order of the soldiers! Don't you have any eyes!" All the musicians were frightened and held their breath, and the lingering music in the hall stopped suddenly .
As if matching the prince's anger, a thunderclap shook the entire Miyagi.
"Report, report... Yiling is lost... Yiling is lost!" Ling Bing desperately finished this sentence, and before rolling a few times on the palace gate, he lost his breath.
There were still clusters of singing, dancing and music performers in the hall, but everyone's faces were dull, and they couldn't understand the consequences of "lost Yiling".
The gate guard immediately checked his pulse and reported: "Report to your son, this man is seriously injured and has lost his breath."
——Yiling... lost?
"Report—Wuling is urgent, Lingling is urgent!!"
It seemed that another soldier was coming straight, but Chi Risheng was already too weak to listen to what he said.He sat in the hall in some astonishment, looking at the wooden dancer and the soldier who fell to the ground in front of him, as if all this was just a huge farce.
He stared blankly at General Cheng Jianxian, who was at the side, as if he was expecting him to come up with some idea.
The winter rain outside the palace was falling fast, as if it was about to smash the tiles of the palace city.For a moment, the people in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, and the shattered candles lit up everyone's faces with gloom.
"It's gone! My lord is gone!"
I don't know which undignified little eunuch's high-pitched voice broke the silence of Jiangling's palace city.
Shizichi Risheng got up slowly in disbelief, and walked out of the hall with heavy steps.
The wind and rain were raging, and the solemn Miyagi could only silently accept the ravages of the winter rain.
There was no words in the attic, and Chi Risheng's heart was frightened by several cold bells piercing through the wind and rain.
He looked up, only then realized——
Black clouds billowed, almost crushing Jiangling Palace City.The strong wind and cold rain finally woke up Chi Risheng, who was wearing warm wine and the scent of fragrance just now.
In the dark night, there is an old figure.The old man leaned on crutches and coughed again and again, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment.Behind him was Liu Shiqing, the Minister of Commerce.Liu Shiqing just hurriedly followed, holding an oil-paper umbrella for the old man.
"Bastard! Bastard!"
The old prime ministers Mei and Cha walked towards him along the stone steps in front of the hall, striding forward with all their might.He was panting heavily, as if he had exhausted all his strength walking through the distance in the wind and rain.
There are still three steps left to go to the palace, Mei He inspected Chi Risheng with a sluggish face, trembling with anger, eyes full of resentment and anger.
"you……!"
Before he could speak, he was furious, and a mouthful of blood was spitting out in front of Chi Risheng.
The heavy rain quickly washed away the warm blood that the old minister had vomited in front of the palace, turning it into streaks of blood, which were suddenly melted by the cold winter rain and never seen again.
"Badness!"
The old Prime Minister Mei and Cha finally couldn't hold back, and knelt in front of the hall and wept bitterly.
Shang Shuling was much calmer than him, he still held an umbrella for his teacher, and said calmly: "Yiling has been broken, in order to protect the overall situation, I implore the son to stay away from the Yunxi Palace in Baling."
The author has something to say: [1] Dragon Tooth Daggers: A pair of daggers with dark forged dragon patterns on the blades.The prototype comes from "Dragon Scale", one of the hundreds of daggers cast by Cao Pi.
*Meng Dingshan's light armor is for attacking generals from the front; Zhang Zhiyin has more wits and chooses light leather armor, without armor
** Zhang Zhiyin won the battle with resourcefulness, and his sidearms are a pair of dragon-toothed daggers, he is not good at fighting head-on, so here Meng Dingshan stopped him and replaced him.
☆, fall
Li Shouzheng came out in formation, and Chang Ge quickly counted the approximate number of troops of the Jingzhou Army in the formation.
About 5 people.It is consistent with the total number of previous intelligence.
Why didn't Jianping go to support Yiling?
Could it be that Zhu Zheng didn't make an outline and make plans this time?
However, Chang Ge couldn't bear to think about it, and the fire attacker immediately opened the siege curtain.
"Kill the fire attackers! Protect Jianping! Don't disturb the residents!" Li Shouzheng, Lieutenant Li Shouzheng, captain of Jianping County of the Jingzhou Army, shouted, commanding the light cavalry united around him to quickly charge towards the Yizhou Army's position.
The giant crossbows fired repeatedly, several light cavalry were shot off their horses, and many good horses were broken in front of the formation.
Greedy Wolf stood on the chariot, and quickly ordered: the attackers on fire retreated, and the shield soldiers changed their formation, showing the posture of a copper wall and an iron wall.The spearmen quickly stepped forward and lined up in a staggered line.
Several fast horses of the Jingzhou army had stepped onto the shield wall, intending to break through the front line.The spearmen of the Yizhou Army cooperated quickly and destroyed several horses one after another.Once the Jingzhou light cavalry fell off their horses, they were immediately killed by Yizhou archers from a high place.
Li Shouzheng was still leading part of the light cavalry trying to tear apart the offensive and defensive lines of the Yizhou army, while Zhang Zhishun led another group of light cavalry, turned their horses and came straight towards Changge.
"If you want to capture the general, first try to see if you have that ability."
Chang Ge smiled lightly, and waved the sand halberd on his shoulder, ready to fight.
Zhang Zhishun caught a glimpse of Shen Shaji who had killed two generals in a row before, and felt a little panicked.He still rode his horse forward, but made a signal to the archer on the city gate tower.
A moment of cavalry
