Chapter 867 The Wind Rises
Song Xian, the former general under Lu Bu, ranked eighth among the eighteen brave men in the army, and had the best bow and spear.
Since that unprecedented peak showdown, Lu Bu and his pro-party generals were all killed in battle, while most of the Bingzhou frontier generals like Zhang Liao and Song Xian surrendered.
But they were both surrendered together, so the experiences of Song Xian and Zhang Liao were completely different.
The last time he had a drinking party with Zhang Liao, that bitch was just a general. Now it is said that he has followed the Privy Council to the west and has been directly promoted to the rank of captain.
And he, Song Xian, is still a trapped general, just above the level of a low-level warrior, which is really hard.
Therefore, Song Xian also regarded this battle of Huainan as the place where he made his achievements, and even made such a reckless leap.
As soon as he shouted his name, Song Xian didn't even care whether Xu Huang, who was watching the formation from behind, heard it, so he swung his step forward and deflected a few incoming arrows.
Those bitches are going to use arrows to plot against the heroes at this time.
Song Xian was stabbed with an arrow that he didn't dodge, and the first thing he shouted at the top of his lungs was:
"Where is the card player?"
Before he finished speaking, a group of card players had already gathered around holding the cards, and then charged forward quickly to protect Song Xian.
Song Xian hid behind the cards, observing the front formation through the cracks. He saw that he was almost in front of the enemy's small formation, and then shouted:
"Crash into it!"
These card players were all under Song Xian's command, and they were originally used at this time. Hearing this, without saying a word, he put his shoulders on the card players, kept walking, and then rushed forward, directly bumping into Jiang Dongbing's On the small formation.
This team of Jiangdong soldiers is a typical ten-man flower formation, with four spearmen holding the line, four archers on both sides, and two generals in armor behind them. One is holding a ring-headed sword and is shouting. Oh, one hand holds the command flag and holds the line.
When Song Xian's card bearer pushed up against him, the three spearmen in the front staggered, but the spearman standing at the front was actually a good martial artist.
He first took two steps back, then took one step forward, and then stabbed the Chang Ge in his hand directly along the slit of the card holder.
The reason why weapons such as Ge were eliminated later was mainly because during the recycling process, the section of Ge Feng would be blocked in the enemy's body, which was not conducive to the recovery of the weapon.
But this flaw is a huge advantage at this moment.
This Jiangdong Bingge spearman had great strength. When he recovered the Changge, he directly brought back the card frame on this side. So, in an instant, Song Xian's card frame array was missing a corner.
The archers on Jiangdong's right wing seized this opportunity in time and shot Song Xian with their bows.
Song Xian was looking at the front, preparing to step up when the pavilion array knocked over the enemy formation, so he didn't react at all when the pavilion array on the left fell.
But Song Xian's battlefield reactions were absolutely top-notch. He subconsciously raised his iron arms in the midst of lightning.
He didn't see the archer on the left shooting him at all, so what he did was completely a warrior's instinct.
But it was this that saved his life.
As soon as the iron wall was raised, Song Xian heard a "ding-dong" sound coming from his left ear, and then saw an arrow falling to the ground.
The moment Song Xian was shot by a sniper, goosebumps stood up all over his body. He did not look in the direction of the archer, but curled up into the card frame like an old cat.
Sure enough, after one arrow missed, another archer shot another arrow. Because of Song Xian's keenness, the arrow hit the side of the card player's arm directly.
The Taishan Army's card holder was also very tough. After being hit by an arrow in his arm, he still held the card firmly without moving.
They are all Song Xian's subordinates and know how brave this Bingzhou warrior is, so their only task is to protect Song Xian's sides from being affected by arrows.
Sure enough, after Song Xian avoided the enemy's arrow and penetrated into the frame of the card, he bounced up again without even looking at the enemy in front of him.
This time, he jumped directly into the enemy formation.
While in the air, the iron spear in his hand had already hit the enemy spearman's head hard.
Just like that, Jiang Dongbing's head exploded like a ripe watermelon.
A drop of white liquid splashed on Song Xian's face, and then the iron gun in his hand hit the other three people on the chin like a windmill.
The head of the first one was cut open by the sharp tip of the spear, the second head was smashed purely, and only the third one was knocked unconscious by Tie Li.
In the blink of an eye, Song Xian had killed four people in a row, and both the archers on the two wings and General Jiangdong in the rear were confused.
Song Xian's cowhide boots stepped on the chest of the unconscious spearman, and smoothly penetrated the iron rod through his chest.
Then, Song Xian turned his head and glared to the side, grinning ferociously at the archer who was the first to shoot him with a hidden arrow.
At this moment, Song Xian's face was still red and white, with his feet stepping on the corpse, like an evil ghost.
Finally, the general Jiangdong finally collapsed, throwing away the robe holding the flag and running to the rear.
And over there, the completely liberated card bearers also threw away the card cards, drew out their ring-shou swords, surrounded the four archers and chopped them to death.
Especially the card player who was hit by the arrow found the person who had wounded him with the hidden arrow and cut off his head directly.
Only the one holding the flag still stood unyielding and glared at the surrounding Taishan Army, but was later stabbed to death on the ground.
The blue sky flag representing the Sun family just fell to the ground.
As for the general who just escaped, he didn't end well either.
Song Xian just raised the iron pole and weighed it in his hand, then threw the iron pole and penetrated the coward's back!
This is the Taishan Army, the invincible army in the world.
These Jiangdong soldiers are not weak in combat power, their troops are not strict, and their morale is not low, but the gap between them and these Taishan troops is all-round.
The battlefield is very cruel. It does not believe in tears or stories.
You stab me and I shoot you. The one who stands will live, and the one who lies down will die.
It's not that Jiangdong's army won't fight to the death, but that Taishan's army is too strong.
With Song Xian taking the lead, several elite teams of the Taishan Army also boarded Hexinzhou.
They also successfully annihilated the Jiangdong soldiers on the tidal flats and firmly defended the pontoon bridge position.
The situation on Hexin Continent all fell into the eyes of Wu Jing and others in Shouchun City, and everyone's hearts were tugged.
The combat power displayed by the enemy was simply unimaginable and unheard of.
What a brave man, he used an iron pole to cross the river; what a brave man, he was able to defeat his ten elite men in an instant.
What's even more terrifying is that when the enemy general announced his name, Wu Jing didn't even hear it.
It would be fine if the enemy warriors we had heard of were so brave, but now an unknown person has such bravery. How terrifying is this?
At this moment, Wu Jing is not the only one who wants to understand this. Everyone who can stay on the top of the city to watch the battle is sweating and restless.
At this time, Sun Quan was actually the calmest one. He put up a pergola with his hands, looked at Hexinzhou, and said:
"The Hexinzhou position is finished."
Sure enough, not long after Sun Quan finished speaking, the flags of Jiangdong soldiers on Hexinzhou fell one after another. Then, everyone present heard the enemy's roar of victory.
Before it was over, Sun Quan suddenly saw a large apricot-yellow flag on the other side. A group of horsemen and horses were like dragons. He personally carried the flag and ran onto the newly built pontoon bridge, and then leapt onto the center of the island.
As the cavalry general came ashore, the Taishan Army on the north bank became even more high-spirited, shouting with thousands of words:
"General Flying Tiger, General Flying Tiger!"
At this time, Sun Quan, who knew who the Flying Tiger General was, murmured to himself:
"Is this Xu Huang? What a pity, how come such fierce generals and talented people are not members of my Sun family."
But when Sun Quan was cherishing each other, Wu Jing was overjoyed and shouted:
"God is really helping me."
After saying that, Wu Jing personally walked to the crossbow on the top of the city, asked the crossbowmen to cock the string, and then let him fire the shot.
Yes, at this time Wu Jing planned to repeat his old trick and use this ballista to snipe the arrogant Xu Huang.
He Wu Jing can even kill a dragon, so what does that mean for a mere general?
……
At this moment, Xu Huang held up an apricot-yellow banner and personally encouraged Yu Hexinzhou's morale.
Yes, Xu Huang couldn't hold it back after all.
As a frontline commander, Xu Huang knew that he should sit in the rear and dispatch his troops to see the overall situation.
But when the trapped soldiers rushed to Hexinzhou and fought hard, the passion and heroism in Xu Huang's heart were ignited again.
He understood that he still loved the battle formation after all and was willing to fight with his brothers instead of just sitting back like a clay sculpture.
At this moment, Xu Huang had already put everything in his mind about becoming the commander-in-chief and making good arrangements. He rushed forward with a flag in hand without even thinking about it.
Not only did he want the brothers to see the invincible figure of their commander, but he also wanted to show the enemy troops on top of the city what kind of demeanor he, Xu Huang, was like.
Sure enough, as soon as he landed on the shore, the cheers one after another and the horrified silence of the enemies made Xu Huang intoxicated!
At this moment, Xu Huang turned around and looked at Shouchun, and was about to point the riding crop in his hand across Shouchun City.
Suddenly, the sun reflected a bright light on the top of the city. Before Xu Huang could react, a sound of grinding teeth suddenly cut through the battlefield.
Then there was a "boom", and the dust in front of him shook. Before Xu Huang could recover, the horse under his crotch stood upright on its hind hooves and neighed.
When Xu Huang controlled the horse and turned around twice to stabilize the horse, it was only then that he saw clearly what had been shot at the top of the city just now.
He saw a spear stuck directly into the soil about four steps in front of him.
Because the soil in Hexinzhou was soft, the arrow was directly buried in the soil, with only half of it exposed.
At this moment, Xu Huang realized that his back felt cold.
If his horse had just taken four more steps forward, the crossbow would have killed Xu Huang.
When the time comes, not only will he die before leaving the army, but he will also become a joke in the army.
Because he will be the first general of the Taishan Army to be sniped and killed by the enemy's crossbow.
Xu Huang pursed his lips, trying to maintain his composure, then retreated quietly, and then retreated to the edge of the pontoon and stopped moving.
Due to the problem of vision, the main force of the Taishan Army did not see the crossbow at all. At this moment, they only saw their commander guarding the pontoon, clearly inspecting their crossing of the river.
In this way, with the trumpets of each army, the entire Taishan Army attacked, rushing up the pontoon bridge like a torrent, and then occupied the island in the middle of the river.
At this time, the Taishan Army, which was originally divided into the left, front, and right sides, and the Ru and Pei Yi soldiers began to divide.
Gao Ao's front army will continue to attack from the north, while Runan and Pei Guo rebels will launch a precession against Shouchun from the west and east.
As Taishan's army spread out on three sides, the alarm bell sounded at the top of Shouchun City, and then groups of Shaopi soldiers swarmed up to the top of the city, looking fearfully outside the city.
Thus, the Shouchun offensive and defensive battle began.
……
One hundred and twenty miles away from Shouchun, by the Feishui River, an army of about 2,000 people was resting.
They were the Zhou army who set out from Shu County in Lujiang and went north to support Shouchun.
The leader of this army was Zhou Yu, who had previously helped the Queen Mother He and others escape from Kyoto with his wisdom and courage.
Zhou Yu, Mei Zhoulang! The romantic figures of the ages have captured all three parts of Huaixi.
Back then, her single clothes were green and showed no color, but today, wearing a precious crown and a basin-collared armor, she looked like the most beautiful figure in the world.
At this moment, he had just brought a group of two thousand people from various families in Shu County and traveled day and night to the edge of Hefei.
They originally planned to enter Hefei for renovation, but they saw that Hefei was empty. It was from the people who were homeless that they learned that Zheng Bao was cowardly and not only retreated to Chaohu, but also emptied Hefei.
Because the rice warehouse in Hefei was empty, Zhou Yu had no choice but to eat by the Feishui River.
But when Zhou Yu was just sitting on the horse, a strong wind suddenly blew up and overturned his tent outside.
The sergeants who were setting up camp thought they had not set up a strong camp and were about to re-reinforce it.
But when Zhou Yu slammed the bowl on the ground, he stood up and shouted:
"This storm is a sign that the thieves have arrived in Shouchun. Listen to my order and the whole army will not stop and continue to march towards Shouchun."
At this time, the troops led by Zhou Yu were not all members of the Zhou family, but also members of several other wealthy families in Shu County.
Logically speaking, this kind of joint force is the most difficult to control and manage, not to mention that they suddenly set off again when the meal is already cooked.
But as soon as Zhou Yu gave this order, all the troops put out their stoves and turned off the fire without hesitation, packed up their military tents and started heading towards Shouchun in the north.
This is Zhou Yu's prestige, and it is also the foundation brought by the Zhou family's hundreds of years of running Shu County.
At this time, in front of dozens of cavalry troops, the troops were rushing towards Shouchun along the Fei River. Since they could not stop, they could only eat the marching rations prepared by the elders in their hometown before setting off.
These dried glutinous rice cakes fried and dried from wheat are not only good for preservation, but can also be eaten directly, which can well ensure the physical fitness of Shuxian soldiers.
Zhou Yu, the Dragon of Huaixi, is finally about to make his debut in history.
An army of sons from Shu County rolled up three feet of dust, ruffled the Feishui on the side in the cold February wind, and gradually spread it over the land of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River.
The wind picked up.
