The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 286
Dongfang Sheng not only established a stronghold in Jiangdong this time, but also made a lot of money. He brought goods from Yizhou to Jingzhou when he came, and brought things from Jingzhou back to Yizhou when he returned. State.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng couldn't forget Liu Biao, the landlord of Jingzhou, and five large boxes of things were transported into Liu Biao's mansion. Liu Biao kept saying that Dongfang Sheng was welcome to borrow again next time.

You can get a lot of money by passing through it once, and a fool will not refuse Dongfang Sheng to pass by.

But Dongfang Sheng this time is also because he wants to make the Dongfang Bodyguard Bureau famous, otherwise he would not use the army to do this private work.

After arriving in Yizhou, Dongfang Sheng was worried. Who should he send to the newly arrived Yuzhang County?
There are quite a few advisers under Dongfang Sheng now, but if they want to be sent to the enemy's rear bases like Yuzhang County, it's really not good if they don't have a little bit of knowledge.

After much deliberation, Dongfang Sheng couldn't think of a suitable candidate in the end.

But Jia Xu recommended Zhang Xiu after listening to what Dongfang Sheng said when he came over.

"Him?" Dongfang Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't have any objections to letting him lead the army to fight, but it's not just about force."

"Why don't you let Fazheng accompany him?" Jia Xu said to Dongfang Sheng.

"Okay, that's it, but we have to wait until I go to Yongzhou to exchange Zhang Xiu back." Dongfang Sheng wanted to go to Yongzhou to see who Cao Cao sent over.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng also wants to try to see if he can take the whole of Yongzhou into his pocket. After all, this place is Liangzhou on the left, Yanzhou on the right, and Hanzhong below, which is a good place.

Dongfang Sheng called Fazheng over to explain a few words, and then rushed to Yongzhou with his troops.

But this time Dongfang Sheng didn't bring too many people with him, he just took Zhao Yun and a group of Zhao Yun's soldiers together, and Zhang Xi was left in Chengdu County to guard his hometown.

As soon as Dongfang Sheng entered the territory of Yongzhou, Zhang Xiu sent someone to pick him up.

He is a shrewd little school, probably Zhang Xiu's personal soldier.

"My lord said that he still has to keep an eye on the thief in front, and let me pick up the general." The schoolboy said with a smile on his face.

Dongfang Sheng didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Lead the way ahead."

Sure enough, Zhang Xiu has a way of governing soldiers. The small school along the way has already explained the situation in detail: after Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu entered Yongzhou together, Zhang Lu was in charge of the rest of the area, and Zhang Xiu went straight to the city. Chang'an went to trouble Guo Si.

When Zhang Xiu captured Chang'an and beheaded Guo Si, Zhang Lu was captured by Yu Jin under Cao Cao's command, but Zhang Xiu was so good that he sneaked into Zhang Lu at night and rescued Zhang Lu.

Now the two sides are facing each other temporarily, and no one can do anything to the other.

Since Zhang Lu was rescued by Zhang Xiu, he stayed directly in Zhang Xiu's barracks. Facing Cao Cao's fierce generals, only Zhang Xiu could stop him.

From the gate of the camp to Zhang Xiu's military tent, Dongfang Sheng kept his eyes fixed on every soldier along the way, and at least three waves of people came forward to check the tokens along the way.

With strict military discipline, Dongfang Sheng immediately felt that Jia Xu's proposal was very reliable.

As soon as Dongfang Sheng entered the tent, Zhang Xiu just put on his armor and was ready to fight.The armor at this time, the big armor was used when the two armies faced each other to catch each other and fight each other, and the small armor was worn next to the body, and it could be covered with clothes to guard against assassins.

"My lord." Zhang Xiu performed a military salute and said, "Forgive me for not being able to salute with my armor on."

Dongfang Sheng glanced at the big armor on Zhang Xiu and knew that he was going to fight, and said with a smile, "Zilong and I also want to meet Wen Ze with you."

Dongfang Sheng used to be a member of Cao Cao, and he also more or less knew some of the generals under Cao Cao's command. Some of them had good relations, such as Xiahou Dun and the like. If they didn't fight, they could have a drink together.

"Just treat the two of us as your own soldiers, and fight as you like later." Dongfang Sheng patted Zhang Xiu on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, my lord is not allowed to be angry." Zhang Xiu said solemnly, "I may not be able to take care of my lord later."

"Just make arrangements, don't worry about us." Dongfang Sheng said confidently.

The drums sounded, and the two phalanxes faced each other.

Zhang Xiu was wearing a large armor, holding a ring-headed knife in his hand, and was staring at a black-bearded general in front of him. The general was wearing a large black armor and was holding a black spear in his hand. It will be banned soon.

It was the first time that Dongfang Sheng saw someone platooning troops. This is the orthodox ten-square formation. At this time, there are fewer and fewer people in the formation, because training the formation takes a lot of time, and Cao Cao likes to use strange soldiers. , because the military array is too time-consuming and energy-consuming.

But once the army formation is formed, then on the battlefield, the army formation will be a terrifying existence. Gongsun Zan's white horse righteous followers, Yuan Shao's halberd soldiers, and Lu Bu's trapped camp are actually a kind of army formation.

The military formation is actually the cooperation of multiple arms, which is a bit similar to the current amphibious amphibious operations, except that the military formation at this time does not have the air force and navy.

At this time, the army formation used the cooperation of different weapons such as archers, crossbowmen, shield hands, spearmen and swordmen.

Once the army array is trained, it can be attacked in advance and defended in retreat, and its power is extraordinary.

But it's a pity that Yu Jin also became an army formation, so Zhang Xiu had a tie with him.

On the outskirts of the military formations in all directions are large shieldmen. Those strong soldiers are slowly moving with large shields as tall as one person. Behind them are spearmen. Each of these soldiers has a slender wooden spear. In the back is the knife and axeman, and the innermost one is the crossbowman.

Dongfang Sheng looked back at the soldiers in the army formation and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the fact that multiple arms were fighting together. It seems that the ancients had this idea long ago in the army formation.

The battle drums beat rapidly, and the army formations on both sides moved forward slowly and approached slowly.

On the battlefield, advance when you hear the drum, and retreat when you hear the gold.

And this golden drum is in the hands of the coach, so it is Dongfang Sheng who will beat the drum.

Dongfang Sheng's current identity is Zhang Xiu's personal soldier, so there is nothing wrong with him beating drums for Zhang Xiu.

Boom!
The two armies finally collided together with a muffled sound.

The spearman behind the large shield immediately thrust the spear in his hand into the gap between the large shields.

Dongfang Sheng followed Zhang Xiu to fight against Yu Jin.

Zhang Xiu really didn't care about Dongfang Sheng, he went straight to Yujin on his own, not caring about Dongfang Sheng who was following him.

However, the soldiers around Yu Jin immediately went forward dutifully to stop Zhang Xiu.

For a while, the two sides fell into a melee. Once the military formation is in contact with the start, there is no need for people to command it. There will be a standard bearer in charge of the changes in the military formation. At that time, the soldiers in the formation only need to make corresponding actions according to the flag language of the standard bearer. up.
