I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 289 Is it a cow or a horse?

In the battlefield of Yanjin, after Niu Fu withdrew, the battle situation immediately took a shocking turn.

The key to this reversal was the sudden appearance of Yan Liang's army, which surprised the Xiliang army's rear.

Niu Fu had just left, leaving behind Zhou Shan, a fierce general from Liangzhou, to sit here. Although Zhou Shan was quite brave, he was far more talented than a top-ranking general when it came to deploying troops and commanding soldiers. There is still a distance.

When attacking a city with troops, the most taboo thing is to be attacked by the enemy.

Yan Liang led his troops ashore from the north, and when Liangzhou soldiers stormed Yanjin and could not withdraw, he took advantage of the chaos and broke into the enemy's army formation.

Yan Liang took the lead, unstoppable, took advantage of the chaos when the enemy was not aware of the situation, beheaded seven Liangzhou knights, and led his troops into the left flank of the enemy, causing chaos in the opponent's position.

Zhou Shan turned pale with fright, and hurriedly led the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army to block Yan Liang.

There was chaos in the rear, which naturally affected the sergeants in charge of the siege.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army couldn't break through Yanjin, and they were extremely anxious. Now that there was movement in the rear, the soldiers hurriedly looked to the rear, and what they saw was the scene of the rear flank being attacked by the enemy.

The enemy's morale in the front plummeted due to the attack from the rear. Zhao Yun, Gao Lan and others keenly grasped the change in the mentality of the Xiliang army, and immediately urged the soldiers under them to step up their offensive and turn from defense to offense. The Xiliang Army was expelled from Yanjin County.

Soon, the Xiliang soldiers gathered at the gate of the city began to withdraw to the rear, to aid the main formation, the land of the city gate, only a small number of Xiliang soldiers remained to stop Zhao Yun and Gao Lan.

Zhao Yun held up the spear in his hand, pointed the spear forward, and shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy! Follow me to kill the enemy!"

Then he rode his horse and charged towards the battlefield ahead.

Under his command and leadership, the more than a thousand elite white scorpion soldiers also followed behind him and rushed towards the battlefield ahead.

They broke through the inner city, broke through the city gate, and came to the outside of Yanjin City. Under the light of the fire, they raised their weapons and began to attack the Xiliang Army's main formation.

Facing the sudden pincer attack from the Jizhou Army, Zhou Shan was at a loss for a while, not knowing which side of the enemy army he should concentrate his forces on first.

On the battlefield, the battle situation is changing rapidly. The general must react quickly. At the critical point in time, only by seizing the opportunity can the situation of the battlefield be changed. Otherwise, he can only be passive and restrained everywhere until he is completely defeated by the enemy.

Not everyone can achieve the strategy of responding to all changes with the same change.

Zhao Yun took the lead, and before the enemy could react, he chased the retreating Xiliang army and went straight into the enemy's formation. The opponent's frontal formation was disrupted in an instant.

On the city wall, Zhang Yun was overjoyed when he saw this, and he shouted at the guards around him:
"If you don't beat the drums now, when will you wait!"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

As Zhang He's voice fell, he heard the sound of drums on the tower suddenly.

As the sound of war drums resounded inside and outside Yanjin, the Jizhou army attacked faster, their sprint speed became more violent, and their morale became higher.

The more ferocious the Jizhou Army's offensive, the lower the morale and fighting spirit of the Xiliang Army. Facing the assault of these fighting-minded Jizhou Army, the Xiliang Army's formation began to gradually collapse.

As for the main general, Zhou Shan's complexion was ashen at the moment.

At this moment, a high-pitched roar sounded from the side of him.

Zhou Shan hurriedly turned his head to look, but it was Yan Liang who was attacking from the flank, and he had already led his troops to kill him.

Looking at Yan Liang, who was full of evil spirits, Zhou Shan subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand to block the opponent's weapon.

But Yan Liang's bravery was beyond Zhou Shan's imagination.

Just blocking Yan Liang's knife, Zhou Shan felt as if his shoulders and arms were under a tremendous force. His arm was in severe pain, and the numb feeling spread all over his arm in an instant, as if he had lost consciousness.

Zhou Shan's complexion suddenly changed, he looked at Yan Liang in horror, and opened his mouth to shout: "Wait..."

It's a pity, before he finished speaking, Yan Liang's second knife had already covered his head and killed him!

Zhou Shan's pupils suddenly became round, and then his eyes suddenly turned bloody, and he felt a sharp pain. The fierce general in front of him seemed to become two people in an instant, splitting towards the left and right sides respectively.

Then...

After that, the world has nothing to do with him anymore.

……

……

On the other side, Niu Fu led his troops back to his camp in a hurry.

But when he rushed back, Zhang Fei's army had already withdrawn.

What was left to Niu Fu was only a piece of ruins that had been burned to the ground.

Looking at his camp being ruined and turned into this bird-like appearance, Niu Fu only felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"what!"

Seeing Niu Fu on the horse, he suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his heart, cold sweat dripping down from his forehead.

"General!"

"General, what's wrong with you?"

The left and right guards hurried forward to support Niu Fu, but he forcefully pushed him away.

"fine!"

Niu Fu took a deep breath of air to stabilize his mind.

When he was young, when he recovered a little bit, he looked around and said, "Hurry up and send someone to investigate around and see those who destroyed my camp, but they are far away!"

"only!"

"Check the camp and count the damage!"

"only!"

The people under his command started to act independently, while Niu Fu got off his horse. He found a rock and sat down, closing his eyes and meditating.

In fact, there is no major problem with his heart, but what happened last night one after another made it difficult for him to accept, and when he saw the tragic situation in the tent just now, he was short of breath for a while, so he felt a little tight in his chest, Time is a bit uncomfortable.

After resting for a while now, he finally regained his strength.

Just as Niu Fu was adjusting his strength, a Xiliang army guard hurried up to him.

"General!"

"What's the matter?"

"General, that...in the battalion, there are, there are..."

Niu Fu frowned, turned his head to look at the hesitant guard, and said, "Say what you want, how hesitant!"

The guard saluted Niu Fu: "General, you should follow me to have a look..."

Seeing this, Niu Fu was quite puzzled.

What did he discover that was so unspeakable?
However, he still stood up and followed the guard into the depths of the camp.

At this time, the night had already passed, and the sky had begun to dim, and the situation in the camp could be clearly seen without a torch.

Niu Fu followed the guards to the side of the commander's tent, but saw that the nearby camp and luggage were all burned badly, but Niu Fu's commander's tent was still intact, which was obviously carefully maintained by the enemy.

In front of the handsome tent, a group of Xiliang soldiers were surrounding the handsome tent, watching something, and at the same time arguing with each other.

"This is a cow!"

"Nonsense, it's clearly a horse!"

"No, why does it look like a donkey to me?"

"It's a cow!"

"is horse!"

"It's a donkey!"

Amidst the bustling voices, Niu Fu suddenly yelled loudly: "Get out of the way!"

This voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and those Xiliang soldiers were startled, and hurriedly scattered to both sides, clearing a way for Niu Fu.

With a gloomy face, Niu Fu passed that road and came to the handsome tent.

Niu Fu's big flag was hung in the handsome tent at the moment, with a few lines of big characters written on it, and beside the words was a picture scribbled in blood.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army couldn't read, so they just looked at the flag and didn't know what was written on it, so they dared to point around the banner beside the handsome tent.

If you let them know how to read those words, they wouldn't dare to babble here even if they were killed.

Niu Fu looked at the words on the banner and felt dizzy for a while.

Zhang Fei just left a few simple words for Niu Fu:
General Niu has [-] good sons, Yanjin County was defeated and will perish,
General Zhonglang's men and horses were very rampant. He failed to attack Li Yang but was injured instead.
Dong Xiangguo's good son-in-law was always defeated in every battle and panicked.

My elder brother worships heaven and punishes crimes, and punishes you and other cunning captives like dogs and sheep.

At the end of the few sentences, Zhang Fei also drew a picture for Niu Fu - it was obviously a donkey, but there was a pair of horns on its head.

Next to it was written four exquisite small characters: My son Niu Fu.

Although Zhang Fei was a fierce general and was born in a butcher, his father paid special attention to his literary education. When Zhang Fei was young, he paid a lot of money to teach him to read, practice calligraphy, and paint.

Therefore, although Zhang Fei has a rough appearance, his handwriting is extremely beautiful, especially because he is also a good painter.

At this time, the sketch that looks like a cow is not a cow, and a donkey is not a donkey, is actually quite lifelike.

Niu Fu's eyes were wide open, looking at the donkey with horns, and then at the four words next to it - my son Niu Fu.

"Cough, cough...poof!"

Suddenly, Niu Fu spewed out a mouthful of blood, which shot out directly from his mouth.

"General!"

"General Zhonglang!"

The attendants of the Xiliang Army who were beside him hurried forward and supported him.

After Niu Fu spurted out a mouthful of blood, not only did he not fall down, but his spirit doubled!

His brows were tightly wrinkled, his eyes were round and bloodshot, his eyes were full of anger, and his teeth were chattering.

Afterwards, Niu Fu strode forward, pulled down the big banner, and threw it on the ground viciously.

"Zhang Fei, I swear to kill you!"

He didn't see who was writing and painting on the big banner, but Niu Fu had already decided in an instant that this was Zhang Fei's behavior.

And, he was convinced of it.

Soon, Niu Fu's scouts brought back news that Zhang Fei and others were walking eastward, and they had traveled about ten miles so far. There were not many people, about a thousand.

After hearing this, Niu Fu got on his horse without saying a word, and urged the soldiers of the three armies to go out of the camp with him, and ran eastward to attack and kill Zhang Fei!

……

At the same time, on the Yellow River, a group of warships headed upstream, with their backs against the rising sun, and rushed towards the location of Jia Xu's troops.

Among all the ships, there is a ship with the largest volume, which is galloping ahead.

On the deck, there is an eight-foot-long, majestic and mighty warrior.

He was wearing fine armor all over his body, and his pair of Danfeng eyes were quickly observing the whole body.

Finally, he saw the opponent's barracks faintly appearing in his eyes.

Guan Yu's spirit suddenly shook.

He raised the Azure Dragon Saber slowly, then swung it to his side, and ordered: "Come on, pass on my general order! Go ashore!"
