Chapter 256 Daorong escapes, divine soldiers descend from the sky
Zikou.
After noon, a ship appeared on Qingcao Lake.
The guard general Cai Mao who stayed behind at the Zikou camp, named Zhao Jun, was standing on the shore looking out and said: "It seems to be the ship of Sun Yi and Zhou Bo."
The deputy general next to him said: "General Sun and General Zhou are stationed in Nan'an. How can they come to speak without the order of the Taiwei?"
"yes."
Zhao Jun was also puzzled and said, "Maybe there is a new order. Send someone to drive a boat over and ask."
"only!"
The deputy general arranged for a team of people to drive a small boat and fly over.
After a while, the boat came back and reported to Zhao Jun, saying that Sun Yi and Zhou Bo had followed Cai Mao's orders and rushed to Yiyang's aid.
After learning about this, Zhao Jun planned to stand at the Zikou port and wait for the other party to come over. He was not familiar with Sun Yi, but he had a good relationship with Zhou Bo, so he naturally wanted to greet him.
Soon the ships docked one after another, and Zhou Bo popped up from the bow of the ship. He saw Zhao Jun from a distance and said with a smile uglier than crying: "Brother Zhao, why are you here? The camp is by Are you guarding it?"
"yes."
Zhao Jun didn't notice anything strange and shouted happily: "Why did the captain send me here? Come on, come on, follow me to the camp for a drink."
"Brother, you actually brought wine?"
Zhou Bo was very surprised.
Zhao Jun hurriedly said: "Keep your voice down, I keep it secretly."
"Get off the boat!"
Zhou Bo gave an order.
A large number of small boats were put down on the ships and began to dock.
Zikou does not have a wharf like Jiangling City. In ancient times, the location of the wharf was very particular.
The first thing is to avoid wind, and the second thing is that the water level should be high, and there should be no reefs, shoals or other places where ships can easily run aground.
The last and most important point is that it must be at a transportation hub.
For example, the current Jiangling City is an important port connecting Bashu and Dongting Lake and Yunmengze on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Bashu's fleet can go from Dongting Lake to Jingnan in the south, and from Yunmengze to Jiangxia and Yangzhou in the north.
Then there is Yueyang. Due to the Hongkou, land has appeared in the Nan'an area, dividing Yunmengze into two. Yunmengze in the north covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and Dongting Lake in the south also covers thousands of square kilometers. Therefore, Yueyang will also It will become an important transportation hub.
Although Zikou meets the latter two points, for example, it has relatively few reefs and shoals, is also the outlet of Zishui, and is the main transportation route from central Hunan to Dongting Lake. However, it is a plain and swampy terrain with no mountains around it, so it cannot be sheltered from the wind. .
Therefore, Zikou is just the mouth where Zishui enters Dongting Lake. The port is in the river, which is the area around Ganxi Port in later generations. And that place is relatively small, and Cai Mao's ships are now stored there.
Therefore, big ships like Zhou Bo could not dock when they came, so they had to use small boats to transport the soldiers there.
I saw large ships densely packed with thousands of small boats launching into the water. The number of people was so strange that it was as if not only all the more than 10,000 people from Nan'an had arrived, but tens of thousands more people had come from somewhere, covering the whole area outside the mouth. The river exits are all blocked.
The soldiers on the ship were indeed wearing the uniforms of the Jingzhou Army, but they all had weapons in their hands and were full of murderous intent, as if they were going to fight, which was puzzling.
Zhao Jun also noticed something strange, but because the other party was indeed one of his own, he didn't think too much about it.
He was waiting on the shore for Zhou Bo to come.
Zhou Bo was sitting in a small boat, and there were several followers in armor beside him, slowly approaching the shore.
When he got close, Zhao Jun came up to him and said, "Brother Zhou, come quickly!"
"Coming."
Zhou Bo got off the boat and approached surrounded by his entourage.
Zhao Jun saw Zhou Bo wearing a huge cloak and cloak, his hands seemed to be clasped behind his back, and he asked curiously: "Brother Zhou, are you imitating Zhou Yu from Jiangdong? I heard that he likes to wear a cloak and a big cloak at the head of the river to watch the river water. .”
"no."
Zhou Bo smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"That is?"
Zhao Jun was confused. Although the clothes looked good, wouldn't wearing them in a battle mean he was seeking death?
However, in the next second, Zhou Bo's followers suddenly drew their swords, placed them on his neck, and looked at Zhao Jun fiercely.
"Put down your weapons or die!"
Two slender men with huge backs and ape arms shouted angrily.
The surrounding Jingzhou troops were all at a loss.
Zhao Jun was also dumbfounded.
"Enemy attack!"
At this moment, the lookout soldiers on the tower of the camp behind saw this scene and blew their horns in a hurry.
But it was too late. The densely packed ships on the shore of Zikou Lake had already docked. The first batch of thousands of soldiers arrived at the shore and launched a charge towards the camp not far away.
Although these soldiers were wearing Jingzhou army uniforms, their arms were tied with red cloth strips, and they were heading towards Cai Mao's Zikou camp like wolves and tigers.
They also shouted loud slogans such as surrender without killing, they are under the command of the eldest son Liu Qi, Jingzhou army should not fight among themselves, surrender without death, etc.
In an instant, the defenders of the Zikou camp were in chaos.
The situation was soon under control. Except for a few soldiers who fled in panic, most of the Jingzhou soldiers were arrested before they knew what happened, and most of them chose to surrender.
Liu Bei inspected the camp together with Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others, and gave an order to send 5,000 people to stay at Zikou. The remaining troops immediately rushed to Lanxi, and at the same time sent people to send a message to Huang Zhong.
The situation in Yiyang changed dramatically overnight, and Cai Mao, who was still in Lanxi at this time, had no idea that he was surrounding the city of Yiyang and preparing to break it.
Zhang Yun had previously sent two generals with 10,000 people to come to the rescue. At this moment, he arranged to be in the west of Yiyang City. The fleet sailed directly upstream from Zishui and sailed to the west of the city, waiting for the news from Cai Mao.
The reason for this arrangement is that Cai Mao imagined that once Xing Daorong successfully killed Guan Yu, his 20,000-strong army would break through Guan Yu's camp. Since the camp is located in the southeast of Yiyang City, he attacked from the east, and Guan Yu's remnant army was very likely to be attacked. Flee to the northwest toward Yiyang City.
If someone were to directly set up an ambush in the east city of Yiyang, there would be a vast plain area and fields cultivated by the people around Yiyang County. There would be almost no obstructions and they would not be fooled into ambush.
Therefore, they could only lie in ambush in Xicheng, and after they defeated Guan Yu, they would immediately send people to Xicheng to deliver the message, and then they could completely annihilate the enemy.
It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.
Lanxi.
When the afternoon sun shone through the thick dark clouds and shone on the earth, the gate of Guan Yu Camp on the south bank of Lanxi River opened again.
Guan Yu jumped out on a red rabbit, reined in his horse and arrived in front of the two armies. He was full of murderous intent and pointed his sword directly at Cai Mao's position.
Cai Mao's military formation had already taken turns to have lunch at this time, and the soldiers also took turns to take a rest. The armored soldiers in the front row had already gone to the rear to rest. Except for the soldiers in the front rows who were still forming spear formations, most of them were in the formation. Lying in the middle.
At this moment, seeing Guan Yu coming out, the sounds of "woo-woo-woo" and "dong-dong-dong-dong" were heard continuously. Everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurriedly adjusted their formations under the orders of officers at all levels.
Due to the sudden incident, the soldiers had no time to arrange themselves in an orderly manner, causing chaos throughout Cai Mao's rear army position. However, due to the protection of the front row of spear formations and the distance between the two sides, Guan Yu did not order the entire army to attack.
.
He planned to chop Xing Daorong into pieces in front of the two armies' formation, causing Cai Mao's soldiers' belief in the God of War to instantly collapse, and then immediately order a general attack.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Guan Yu came out of the camp to provoke."
"Go and report to the Taiwei!"
There was a chaos among the soldiers in Jingzhou.
Xing Daorong went to provoke him before, but Guan Yu ignored him because he wanted to see Yi Ji.
Later, after discussing with the Iraqis, the soldiers came to report Xing Daorong's provocation.
But at that time, Xing Daorong saw that Guan Yu didn't come out after scolding him for a while, so he happily went back and told Cai Hao that Guan Yu didn't dare to come out.
Therefore, the Jingzhou soldiers thought that Guan Yu would have to rest for an hour or two before coming out to continue the fierce battle in the evening.
Unexpectedly, less than two quarters of an hour later, Guan Yu suddenly rushed out again, catching the soldiers off guard and making them panic when they reorganized.
There was a lot of noise in the front and Cai Hao, who was resting in the back, was naturally awakened.
When he heard the soldiers came to report, Cai Mao returned to the high platform and said to Hu Zheng, Cai Du and other cronies on his left and right: "This Guan Yu has finally come out."
"yes."
Hu Zheng smiled and said: "Now that General Xing has a precious sword in his hand and a good horse at his hip, he will be able to kill Guan Yu. Once Guan Yu dies, the city of Yiyang will be destroyed, and Linxiang will naturally not be able to defend it for much longer."
"Yes." Cai Mao nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's ask Xing Daorong to come over."
At this time, Xing Daorong was still sleeping.
Having fought with Guan Yu for so long in the morning, he also used up a lot of energy. In addition, he wanted to waste time and delay as long as he could, so he was naturally very happy if Guan Yu didn't come out of the camp.
Just like after the workers completed the tasks assigned by the boss this morning, the boss also went to take a nap in the afternoon. Based on the idea of fishing, he must hope that the boss will continue to sleep, so that he can have half a day of leisure and continue to work.
Fishing.
Unfortunately, his dream was shattered not long after. In his daze, he was dreaming that he actually killed Guan Yu with one sword, was appreciated by Cai Hao, was named the general of Jingzhou, and was surrounded by beauties.
Hug, living in a big house will lead a happy life.
Suddenly he felt someone shaking him, and while shaking him back he said: "General Xing, General Xing?"
"ah?"
Xing Daorong opened his eyes blankly, and what appeared in front of him was not the beautiful girl who had almost taken off her clothes in the dream, but a few tall and thick military men, who still exuded a stinky smell.
The leading soldier was a guard captain under Cai Mao. He pushed him and said, "General, the captain wants you to come over immediately."
"oh."
Xing Daorong then remembered that he was still on the battlefield and hurriedly climbed up from the wooden board.
Because of the battle between Guan Yu and Xing Daorong yesterday, it was too late and Cai Mao could not return to the Zikou camp, so the soldiers lived in the wild woods. The ordinary soldiers could only find a piece of grass to sleep. At least they, the generals, had a place.
Wooden boards serve as beds.
When he got up from the board, he felt that his face was wet, and when he saw that the board was almost soaked with his saliva, he wiped the saliva with his sleeve, and Xing Daorong crawled to the side of Yuluo's horse.
In addition to horses, there are also tiger knives.
Then I saw that the tiger gall knife was not a Guan Dao like Guan Yu's Qinglong Dao, but a long straight-edged knife. This knife was edged on one side and had a thick ridge. The total length was seven inches, which is about one meter six. The handle alone was just
One inch looks a bit like the Miao Dao of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it is the shape of the Huanshou Dao of the Han Dynasty.
The length of an ordinary ring-shou knife is between three inches and five inches, that is, about 70 centimeters to 115 centimeters. But this knife is seven inches long, and the thickness of the back of the knife can reach 1.6CM. The edge of the blade is shining with a cold light.
An extremely rare dual-wielding ring-headed sword!
If this kind of sword is not forged well, the blade will be broken first when the sword is struck. Therefore, with the craftsmanship that can be refined hundreds of times, it is definitely a first-class sword in the world, no worse than the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
Xing Daorong really liked the sword and the horse when he saw it, but when he thought of holding the sword and riding the horse to fight Guan Yu, he felt bad. He crossed his face, rode the sword, and turned the horse around.
Head to the front line and run.
Soon he came to the frontline battlefield, hurriedly ran to the small platform where Cai Mao was, turned over, dismounted, knelt down on one knee and raised his hands and said: "Captain!"
"General Xing."
Cai Mao smiled and said: "Then Guan Yu is provoking again. Now you have a sword in your hand and a BMW under your crotch. Go and kill him quickly."
"only!"
Xing Daorong stood up reluctantly, took two deep breaths, adjusted himself, and mounted his horse again.
The soldiers on both sides made way for him.
After Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, he became famous all over the world. Everyone knew that he was an enemy of ten thousand people.
From yesterday to today, General Xing Daorong in their army, despite being at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and horses, managed to keep up with Guan Yu. He has become the idol of the officers and men in the army.
Everyone was looking at him with admiring eyes. This kind of look was very helpful to Xing Daorong. He immediately raised his chest and raised his head, pretending to be majestic and went out into battle.
"Guan Yu, me."
Before he could say anything, he saw an extremely terrifying and horrifying murderous intent in Guan Yu's eyes.
That kind of murderous intention has no substance, it's just a feeling.
Because what Xing Daorong saw was that Guan Yu's eyes were colorless. Unlike before, his expression seemed to be some kind of joking, full of ridicule.
But at this moment, the eyes he was looking at were extremely indifferent, just looking at him quietly, with no sparkle in his eyes, only a kind of dead silence and indifference that made people feel that they penetrated deep into the soul.
It feels like looking at a dead person.
Dead people cannot speak.
So it seems that Guan Yu no longer intends to talk to Xing Daorong like before.
He slowly held the Green Dragon Sword upside down in his hand, dragged it on the ground, and clamped the Red Rabbit Horse's belly heavily. The Red Rabbit Horse seemed to be able to feel its master's mood.
In an instant, it was like a red lightning, leaping several feet away and rushing towards Xing Daorong!
"ah!"
Xing Daorong understood at this moment.
Guan Yu had been playing tricks on him before, but now, he wanted his life!
As a result, Xing Daorong became extremely sober. When he saw him reining in the body of Yuluo's horse, Yuluo seemed to be able to sense the panic of his master. He jumped up and fled towards the south!
He escaped!!!
In front of the two armies, Jingzhou War God Xing Daorong, who boasted that he would kill Guan Yu in Haikou, actually fled without a fight!
The entire Jingzhou army was stunned and confused in the wind.
Then.
Before they could come to their senses.
Then I heard the trumpet sound of "woo woo woo woo".
The gate of Guan Yu's camp is opened.
On the Lanxi River in the distance, countless boats suddenly floated up.
Thousands of troops and horses, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, marched towards Cai Mao's army in a mighty manner.
Didn't you say you saved a few chapters before? I felt dizzy all day today. I sat in front of the computer for half a day and couldn't write anything. I spent four or five hours revising this chapter because a friend suggested that I not cut it.
Xing Daorong, I hope you can enjoy it. My original intention was to give the protagonist a sword and a BMW, but if everyone needs it, I will change it. Since Xing Daorong is alive, the next few chapters have to be temporarily changed. This is a big project, so I have to do this.
It took me a few days to revise it. However, because I was in a bad state today, I didn’t even know what I was writing. I was talking nonsense and was confused, so I hope I didn’t have any problems with the revision.
