Ji Han Liu Zhang

Qu Yi was Yuan Shao's most powerful general.

At that moment, he was being besieged by the Qin army. Although it could not be said that he was completely trapped, it was clear that his chances of survival were slim.

Today, the sun rose as usual, and the morning light sprinkled on the earth. Qu Yi also stood up, put on his helmet and armor with the help of his personal guards, and walked out of the tent and came to the front camp.

Looking through the defensive fences, deer ridges and trenches, Qu Yi saw the Qin army's thunder chariots, which, just like the past few days, advanced to a hundred steps in front of his camp on time.

Then the soldiers in the Qin army who were operating the Thunderbolt Chariots skillfully placed the cannonballs in the trebuchet's trebuchet basket and charged the trebuchet with full force. Then they released the trigger smoothly, and the cannonballs started to move from static to dynamic, flew over a hundred steps, and smashed into the camp where Qu Yi was.

"Boom."

"Ey."

"Clang."

The cannonballs either hit the fences, causing them to shake, or fell into the trenches in front of the camp, almost filling them up over the course of a few days.

Or perhaps a cannonball broke the pillars of the watchtower, causing them to fall to the ground with a clang. All these loud noises reached Qu Yi's ears, but his expression was just numbness and fatigue.

"Go." Faced with the situation that had repeated many times in the past few days, Qu Yi forced himself to cheer up, gritted his teeth and ordered his soldiers to go forward to repair the damaged fences and watchtowers to prevent the Qin army from taking advantage of the gaps in the fences to kill them.

But the Qin army would not let Qu Yi repair the gap in the camp, and cannonballs were poured mercilessly and smashed towards the Yuan army that was repairing the camp. Although the Yuan army raised their shields to resist, the damage caused by the cannonballs was not from cutting, but from the strong impact under the action of gravity, so casualties of the Yuan army were inevitable.

On the one hand, they needed to defend against the Qin army's artillery shells, and on the other hand, they had to repair the camp. If they were not careful, they would be either killed or injured. Therefore, the Yuan army soldiers who were ordered forward had no time to repair the camp, and more of their attention and energy were focused on dodging the flying artillery shells.

As time went on, gradually, loopholes appeared in Qu Yi's camp.

Gan Ning, who was raiding the camp, had a lazy look and a bored expression, but he was actually staring at Qu Yi's camp. When he saw a gap in Qu Yi's camp, he immediately ordered Gan Jiu to go forward and try to create a bigger gap in Qu Yi's camp, and then break through Qu Yi's camp in one fell swoop.

"Men, follow me." Gan Jiu shouted loudly. He held the shield in one hand and dragged the ring-handled sword in the other hand. He strode forward and took the lead in charging towards Qu Yi's camp.

Behind Gan Jiu were more than a hundred Jinfan men known for their bravery. Each of them was dressed in armor, holding a sharp weapon, and followed Gan Jiu forward, not lagging behind, with an indomitable momentum.

The Qin army rushed out, and the wind and sand rolled, sweeping into Qu Yi's eyes.

"How cowardly you are." Qu Yi scolded the soldiers who did not repair the camp in time, blaming these soldiers for not caring about themselves and not repairing the gap in the camp in time, so that the Qin army took the opportunity to attack and kill them.

"Li Yun, come with me."

Qu Yi called on Li Yun, the commander of a hundred men under his command, and instructed Li Yun to lead the vanguard of the death squad to repair the gap, while at the same time resisting the Qin army that was charging towards the camp, and not giving the Qin army a chance to break through the camp.

When necessary, Qu Yi would take on the responsibility of being the commander-in-chief and lead the death squad forward.

Qu Yi knew in his heart that he was now surrounded by the Qin army, and all he could rely on was this camp and the hoped-for reinforcements. The safety of the camp was his top priority. After all, once the camp was broken, even if the reinforcements arrived, it would be meaningless.

"Yes." Li Yun responded loudly, holding a spear and a sword on his waist, he led more than a hundred first-line soldiers forward. The first-line soldiers and the Jinfan soldiers met at the gap in the camp and the two sides collided with each other.

Both sides are brave and skilled in fighting, and it goes without saying that they are not afraid of death. Now they are fighting for their lives, and the battle is particularly fierce. Swords and spears are flying back and forth without avoiding the sharp edges. From time to time, people are bleeding and fall to the ground.

However, the gap, which was about half a meter in size, soon became piled with a layer of corpses. The two sides stepped on their comrades and fought each other in ecstasy.

Qu Yi's men were fighting desperately, because they knew that once the camp was breached, they would be defeated.

Gan Ning's men were also fighting desperately. They also knew that once the camp was breached, this group of Yuan's troops would be killed here with no possibility of escape. A great achievement was waiting for them.

One is life and death, the other is fame.

From morning to noon, both sides shed blood in this gap, but they both held on with no intention of retreating. The gradually scorching sun provided the two sides with a step to separate.

After all, under the scorching sun, with strong sunlight scorching them, and wearing armor, they had to fight desperately, and even the strongest man could not hold on.

As a result, both sides tacitly stopped fighting and stopped the current dispute in the gap. There were too many dead bodies in the gap, forming a low wall, which was not conducive to the Qin army's attack. The Qin army had to retreat with hatred.

afternoon.

The Qin army, as always, made full use of the effectiveness of the Thunderbolt Chariots and bombarded Qu Yi's camp fiercely. When they saw a gap, they rushed forward to attack. With the rumbling of war drums and the unfurling of flags in the wind, Qu Yi's troops were not given a moment's peace.

When the fighting was at its most intense, Gan Ning and Qu Yi, the main generals of both sides, stepped onto the front line of attack and each fought with real fire.

Although the sun was setting and dusk was falling, the two sides were still fighting, with no sign of fatigue due to the setting sun.

However, when the setting sun completely sank into the west and a few dim stars appeared, both sides finally stopped fighting. This was because in the dark, although the army had torches for lighting, the range of the torches was limited, making it inconvenient for fighting.

Seeing the Qin army retreating in an orderly manner, Qu Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then sighed.

He was relieved because the Qin army retreated and he could rest for a while. He sighed because the Qin army retreated safely and did not give him the opportunity to follow and kill them. Tomorrow, the Qin army would sweep in again like today.

"Hurry up and repair the camp for me." Qu Yi did not have extra time to think. He gave a call and ordered the soldiers to repair the gaps in the camp in order to prepare for the future attack of the Qin army.

However, the Qin army's attack was as fierce as fire and as fierce as a tiger. Qu Yi knew that if he continued like this, the camp would be breached sooner or later.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements." On the one hand, he urged the tired soldiers to repair the camp, and on the other hand, Qu Yi shouted in his heart, he was looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

This time he was in a desperate situation, surrounded by enemies. He could only find a way to break the situation from the outside and implement the strategy of cooperating with the enemies from outside to escape.

"Gao Gan, Zhang He, Gao Lan... How long do you have left?" Qu Yi looked northward, but under the night sky, there was only the shadows of mountains and rivers. (End of this chapter)
