Soldiers come to the world

In the hills and mountains to the west of Yangxin County, a 5000-strong army is marching westward with great might and mightiness. .

Next to Huang Zhong was another general, a white horse with a silver gun, tall and tall, with a heroic appearance and high spirits, but this general was Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun was accompanying Liu Bei to find the prefect Zhang Zhongjing in Changsha County to treat his illness. It happened that the Jiangdong Army was aggressively attacking Jiangxia, so Zhao Yun was ordered by Liu Bei to follow the veteran Huang Zhong to support Chaisang.

The two of them traveled westward without talking much, but Huang Zhong had heard Zhao Yun's name for a long time, and respected him very much. Zhao Yun also knew that Huang Zhong was the number one veteran in Jingzhou, and he taught Liu Jing how to practice archery, so he also respected Huang Zhong a lot. , The two of you respect each other, and there is a sense of sympathy for each other.

"General Zhao, the Jiangdong army's attack on Jiangxia this time is no small matter. Sun Quan personally led the troops to go out. If they successfully occupy Jiangxia, they will not stop their troops easily. Ten times out of ten they will turn around and attack Changsha County. Therefore, our battle It is very important, if Chaisang can be controlled, the Jiangdong Army will not be able to go south to Changsha County."

Zhao Yun thought Liu Bei was also in Changsha, so he nodded, "We will do our best!"

Zhao Yun didn't speak much, but every sentence he said was carefully thought out. What he said was to do his best, which was actually a promise that he would definitely help Liu Jing regain and keep Chaisang.

Just as Huang Zhong was about to speak, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from ahead, he couldn't help being taken aback, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"Old General, someone saw a monkey in clothes in the woods!"

At this time, Zhao Yun also saw a figure flying in the woods, with extraordinary agility, jumping from one tree to another, he stared at it for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a monkey, it's just a person, just flexible and vigorous." , can fly through the trees."

Huang Zhong sneered, "See if it's his body that's faster, or my arrows!"

Huang Zhong raised his bow and aimed at the figure, but he slowly put down the bow and arrow again, "I seem to have seen this man before, he is under Mr. Jing."

He immediately ordered: "Don't shoot arrows to hurt people!"

Not long after, more than a dozen soldiers brought him out from the woods, but it was a short boy. This boy was Hou Wu, Liu Jing's entourage. He was ordered to patrol the outskirts of Yangxin County. army of men.

He knew Huang Zhong, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Old general, I am Hou Wu under Mr. Jing, do you remember the old general? We met the old general when he came to Chaisang last year."

Huang Zhong nodded, ordered the left and right to let him go, then bent down and asked, "Where is your son now?"

"Reporting to the old general, my son is now in Xiazhi County, and Yangxin County is in charge of Mr. Xu and General Hu."

It turned out that Liu Jing was not in Yangxin County, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun looked at each other, they nodded together, Huang Zhong immediately ordered: "The whole army speeds up, go to Xiazhi County!"

. . . . . . . . .

In a corner of the Xiazhi County military camp, Wei Yan and more than a dozen generals watched Liu Jing's experiment. A hundred steps away, there stood a three-foot-high wooden house. A soldier poured kerosene into the pot On the wooden house, he left quickly.

A hundred steps away, Liu Jing ignited a rocket, pulled the bowstring, and shot out, the rocket drew an arc in the air, and shot it precisely on the wooden house, 'Boom! ' With a bang, the flames burst into flames, and the wooden house was quickly engulfed by the fire.

The general next to him immediately applauded excitedly, and Liu Jing smiled triumphantly: "See! This kind of kerosene is especially helpful for fire attacks, and it will have miraculous effects in siege battles and water battles. A great asset to our military."

After all, kerosene is not gunpowder. The appearance of gunpowder finally changed the nature of war, and kerosene is only a combustion aid, which cannot change the nature of war.

But it can make the fire attack easier, so that it can turn the tide of the battle in a small way. For example, to deal with the nest car, you can directly use fire oil to burn it, and you will no longer be passive like the last time you defended Chaisang.

In fact, since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, fire attack has always been an important method of war, and the army has been looking for the best combustion accelerant. Hit the enemy with a huge fireball.

Later, it was discovered that sulfur is flammable, and sulfur was used in fire attacks. At this time, it was the time of the Three Kingdoms, and people had not discovered the fire attack effect of oil, but soon, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the army began to use oil as a fire attack. As for weapons, Liu Jing was only more than 100 years ahead of schedule and used oil in warfare.

For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming set fire to the Tengjia army and used gunpowder, so it is suspected of crossing.

At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "Report to Sima, General Huang came from Changsha with five thousand troops and has arrived outside the barracks. General Zhao Yun is also in the army."

Liu Jing was overjoyed, Huang Zhong led the reinforcements, and Zhao Yun was also in the army, he quickly said to everyone: "Follow me to meet you!"

Five thousand troops were stationed ten miles away. Huang Zhong led more than a dozen generals to pay homage to the camp, and Zhao Yun was among them. Looking at the neat camp and a handsome flag with the word "Liu" embroidered on it, Huang Zhong could not help but smile at Zhao Yun. : "Zilong, this kid looks like something!"

Zhao Yun also smiled slightly, "I won't be surprised by any changes in him. Many things seem unbelievable to others, but they are normal in my eyes. Mr. Jing cannot be treated by ordinary people."

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong sighed and said, "How I wish Zhou Mu would appoint him as the successor of Jingzhou. In this way, Jingzhou will have hope."

At this time, the sound of drums and music came, and the gate of the camp was opened wide. Liu Jing led the generals above the head of the village to welcome them out. Huang Zhong got off his horse, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Huang Zhong's rescue came late, which surprised you!"

"Where! The old general came just at the right time, it's like sending charcoal in a timely manner."

Liu Jing laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Not only did Huang Zhong come, but Zhao Yun also came. This was God helping him. He exchanged a few words with Huang Zhong, and then went forward to salute Zhao Yun, "Why is General Zhao here?"

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said: "The young master is kind to my lord. When the Jiangdong army attacked in a big way, the lord felt that he should do his best. But there were no soldiers around, so he asked Zilong to help the young master."

Liu Jing nodded, Liu Bei is really good at being a man, and asking Zhao Yun to help him at a critical moment undoubtedly made him owe him a favor, but Liu Jing is willing to owe him a favor, and nothing makes him more excited and happy than Zhao Yun coming to help him Excited.

Liu Jing concealed the excitement in his heart, and quickly invited everyone into the big camp. After entering the tent, the guests and hosts sat down. The soldiers served tea for everyone, talking and laughing in the big tent, which was extremely lively.

At this time, Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said with a smile: "There is something I want to say earlier, this time I came to assist Jiang Xia under the order of Fengzhou Mu. In other words, I am not the main general, but Mr. Jing is the main general."

Huang Zhong is very smart. He knows that he has a high status in the Jingzhou army, and he is also a Zhonglang general. He surpasses Liu Jing in terms of qualifications and military positions.

According to the rules, it should be Liu Jing who obeyed his orders, but he came from Changsha County after all, so how could he take the lead, so he made it clear first that he would obey Liu Jing's command.

Huang Zhong's statement was just at the right time, Liu Jing nodded, not being modest, and said to everyone: "I got the latest information, Sun Quan led an army of [-] to confront Huang Zu and Cai Mao's reinforcements in Xiakou, now is our chance , according to my plan, we will recapture Chaisang, so General Huang's reinforcements came very timely."

At this time, Zhao Yun asked from the side: "Then how many troops do we have in total now?"

Liu Jing smiled and said: "I have 1 troops in my hand, plus [-] reinforcements, we actually have [-] people. As long as we use our troops flexibly, we can defeat the Jiangdong Army."

Liu Jing's words made everyone excited, Huang Zhong asked: "Then when will we counterattack Chaisang!"

"I'm leaving tonight, but I have an ugly thing to say first."

The big tent suddenly fell silent, Liu Jing's eyes became sharper, he glanced at everyone slowly, and said slowly: "From now on, ten thousand troops will be mobilized by my military order, if anyone refuses to obey, behead! "

Everyone stood up and saluted in awe, "Obey!"

..

After Sun Quan went north, Chaisang City was guarded by general Lu Meng with 3000 people. Lu Meng was only 20 years old this year. Like Liu Jing, he was an official minister of the other ministry. He was young and promising, and was highly regarded by Sun Quan.

Lu Meng was very cautious, restraining military discipline, forbidding soldiers to gamble and drink, and at the same time keeping the gates of the city closed, and arranged soldiers to patrol the city from morning to night without any slack.

That night, Lu Meng was patrolling the city as usual, and the lord led the army to the north. He was always a little restless, and the reason was Liu Jing.

He felt that the lord valued Huang Zu too much and underestimated Liu Jing, and it was a bit of a mistake. According to his thinking, after occupying Chaisang, he should not rush northward, but concentrate his forces to Xiazhi County and Yangxin County to completely wipe out Liu Jing's remaining troops, and then turned around. To deal with Huang Zu.

And the lord's information is not effective, he only knows that Liu Jing has more than [-] troops, he feels that this information must be inaccurate, Liu Jing finally sticks to Chaisang and has [-] troops, and he also has to divide his troops to defend Xiazhi County and Yangxin There must be more than [-] troops in the county, at least [-] to [-] troops, which is not a lot of troops.

Now that the main force of the Jiangdong army is going to attack Xiakou, will Liu Jing use this opportunity to counterattack Chaisang?Lu Meng felt worried, so these few nights, he went to patrol the city himself, not daring to be careless.

At this time, in the woods to the west of the city, Liu Jing led an army of [-] soldiers quietly waiting for an opportunity. Beside him were Liu Hu and Wei Yan. Tonight, Liu Hu would also lead his [-] heavy armored infantry to attack. My heart is full of expectations.

Liu Jing waved his hand, called Wei Yan and Liu Hu up, and told them: "Wait a while, I will lead a hundred brothers to sneak into the city, open the north gate, and join forces from inside and outside. You can lead the army in time, the signal is a Rocket."

Wei Yan said anxiously: "How can you let Sima take risks, why don't you let me go!"

Liu Jing shook his head, "I know a secret passage, and no one can use it except me, let me come! As long as I respond in time, I will be fine."

Wei Yan had no choice but to agree, "Sima must go, even the humble official can't stop him, and the humble official will definitely respond on time."

Liu Jing smiled and patted the shoulders of the two, he stood up, turned around and waved, "Follow me!"

A hundred elite soldiers who had been waiting for a long time followed Liu Jing to the west of the city.
