In the early morning, the first ray of sunshine penetrated the clouds and brought its warmth to the earth. The open space outside the Han army camp was already lined with swords and guns. Fifty thousand Han soldiers stood there in darkness, walking along the hillside.
Stretching on, the army is neatly organized, magnificent and ready to go.
Lu Zhi wore helmet and armor and rode on a white horse. From a commanding point on the hillside, he looked at the city not far ahead. He raised his voice and shouted: "The whole army is setting off!"
Following Lu Zhi's order, the army slowly moved into action. Gao Fei, the commander of the former army, led a thousand cavalrymen under his command across the wooden chasm on the ground and galloped towards Guangzong City five miles away.
.
On the hillside, flags and banners were fluttering, people were shouting like waves, spears and swords were in the forest, and swords were like a sea. An army of 50,000 people advanced slowly. The cavalry around Lu Zhi were even more heavily armored. They were all tall, powerful, and arrogant.
His face was full of arrogance.
Groups of infantrymen bundled up their hair and wrapped their legs, carrying bows and arrows, and spears and spears in hand. They gathered around Lu Zhi. After only a dozen steps forward, they immediately kicked up the dust on the ground. The dust and sweat covered the feet of those infantrymen.
Their faces were dirty, and their orange-red military uniforms made of coarse cloth had patches of white salt stains on them, but they still marched in an orderly manner, showing a well-trained military quality.
The horses neighed, and groups of light cavalry continued to surpass the infantry around them and rushed forward. Wearing armor and full of energy, they trotted on their horses and formed a long queue on the crowded hillside, raising a thick
The sand and dust. The rolling mules, horses and carts pulled tall trebuchets, giant crossbow beds, and heavy siege vehicles, trudging down the hillside, the sound of whips and whistles,
There were constant shouts, and both the drivers and the animals were sweating profusely, trying to control the speed on the downhill slope.
Gao Fei looked back and saw such a majestic Han army. He couldn't help but said with emotion: "The Yellow Turban Uprising was just a peasant uprising. Although it was huge, it was still at a disadvantage against the well-trained and well-equipped officers and soldiers.
.When the imperial court has not yet reached the stage of decay, open rebellion will inevitably be suppressed. I must not follow in the footsteps of the Yellow Turban Uprising. I must first have a territory and develop it slowly. Only when I have the strength can I compete in the world."
The cavalry team quickly arrived at the foot of Guangzong City. Gao Fei stopped the troops one thousand meters away from the city. Looking at the men with yellow scarves on their heads and holding various weapons on the top of the city, he thought about the destruction they were about to face.
Such a disaster, a trace of pity inevitably arose in my heart.
"Rebel! Get out of the city and die!" Zhang Fei galloped out first, swung his snake spear at the city, and shouted.
The gate of Guangzong City suddenly opened, and dozens of horses and hundreds of foot soldiers galloped out from the gate. The leader had a face as black as carbon, piercing eyes, a short and strong beard, a tall and strong figure, and in his hands
Holding an eyebrow knife about half a foot long, he ran out first among the crowd.
"Haha, I always thought that my face was the darkest in the world. When I met this man today, I realized that there are people darker than me. I never thought that the yellow scarf thief has such courage and dares to fight?" Zhang Fei
He sneered and called out, "I am Zhang Yide from Yan. Who is coming? Tell me your name. I will not kill unknown people with my spear!"
The burly black man on the opposite side immediately shouted loudly: "I am the general's tent in the next week warehouse!"
"Zhou Cang? The Zhou Cang who resisted Guan Yu's sword?" Gao Fei was shocked when he heard the man opposite reported his name. He turned his head involuntarily and glanced at Guan Yu beside him, but when he saw Guan Yu's eyes
He narrowed his eyes into a straight line, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, which seemed to look down upon the world, as if he didn't even care about this person.
"Zhou Cang? Never heard of it! I see that although you are tall and tall, you are no match for me. I will spare your life for the time being. Go back quickly and ask the thief to show his horns and kill him with his neck!" Zhang Fei danced.
With a flick of the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, he showed his arrogance.
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense. You won't know until you beat him to see if he is your opponent!" Zhou Cang raised his sword, slapped his horse and flew out to withdraw from Zhang Fei.
"Haha, here comes someone who is not afraid of death, let me see if I don't poke a few holes in your body..." Before Zhang Fei could finish his words, he saw Gao Fei riding out with his spear, his face was stunned, and he shouted loudly
He said, "Brother Gao Xian, how can you take the credit from me?"
Gao Fei chuckled and said: "Brother Yide, if these unknown people are afraid of dirtying your snake spear, just leave it to me!"
"Third brother, come back!" Zhang Fei felt unhappy and was about to rush out when he heard Liu Bei shouting from behind. He turned around and saw Liu Bei shaking his head, so he rode back to the formation, but his face was angry.
A burst of redness.
"I'm Gao Fei, come here to ask for advice and put aside your clever tricks!" Gao Fei had a competition with Zhang Fei yesterday. He could compete with Zhang Fei dozens of moves without winning or losing. I think his force is indeed not weak. Furthermore,
He knew that although Zhou Cang was not as good as Zhang Fei, he was still a brave man. If he died under Zhang Fei's spear, it was really not worth it. Even if he did not die in battle, he would follow Guan Yu wholeheartedly in the future. Rather than giving Guan Yu an advantage, it would be better
He captured him alive and took him for his own use.
Zhou Cang was shocked for a moment. When he saw that the person in front of him was Gao Fei, he exclaimed: "Is it really you? So you're not dead?"
Listening to Zhou Cang's tone, Gao Fei seemed to understand something. Since he was a fierce general under Lu Zhi's camp, and Lu Zhi had been confronting the Yellow Turbans for some time, his name Gao Fei would naturally be known to the Yellow Turbans. He sneered.
He made a sound and said: "Gao Mou is here!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Cang and Gao Fei's horses crossed each other, swords and guns were raised at the same time. Only a clang sound was heard, and the battle between the two was fleeting.
Gao Fei reined in the horse and turned the horse's head. He was a little confused and secretly shouted: "Damn, fighting on horseback is really difficult. It's not as refreshing as fighting on the ground."
"Brother Gao Xian! You have defeated him in three rounds, and you still have two rounds left. If you can't defeat him, I will be killed!" Zhang Fei shouted carelessly in the formation.
"It turns out that if two horses cross each other once, it counts as one round." Gao Fei secretly shouted in his heart.
Horse fighting is different from foot fighting. Horse fighting is based on turns, while foot fighting is based on moves. A round refers to two people riding their horses and starting to attack each other within the attack range of the weapon. Of course, at this time, the horse is not
It is possible to stop, but no fool would rein in his horse when the attack range is reached. If that were the case, he would have been pierced by a bullet.
Therefore, when the two horses are staggered, attack each other quickly. Depending on the speed and attack angle, it may be one move or several consecutive moves. Wait until the two horses are far apart, then rein in the horse and turn back.
, this is considered a round of competition.
Gao Fei looked at Zhou Cang in the distance, recalling the direction and angle of Zhou Cang's sword in his mind. He immediately shouted and galloped out, preparing to fight Zhou Cang for another round.
Zhou Cang did not show any weakness. He knew that Gao Fei was a fierce general in the Han army. He led his troops to break through the encirclement the day before yesterday, but was pursued by Gao Fei. In desperation, Zhou Cang led his troops to rebel, and thousands of thieves suddenly attacked Gao Fei.
Fei surrounded Kanxin, causing Gao Fei to die from exhaustion. Later, when the reinforcements from the government army arrived, he returned to Guangzong when he saw that the situation was not good. He thought that Gao Fei would die, but he saw him again today, so that
Zhang Jiao accused him of cheating and deceiving him, so he got angry and went out of the city to fight again.
"Either you die today or I die!" Zhou Cang roared loudly, already swinging the knife between his eyebrows in his hand, and when he crossed paths with Gao Fei, he struck down with the knife with hatred.
Gao Fei did not block the situation, but shook the Dragon Spear in his hand, and stabbed his face with a spear. Zhou Cang was shocked. Who would have expected that Gao Fei would risk his life and use this fatal move, but the knife between his eyebrows had already been slashed.
He fell down, unable to regain his strength. He turned his back to the sky, dodged backwards, and at the same time used all his strength to lift the eyebrow knife in his hand, finally blocking Gao Fei's shot.
Unexpectedly, the spear in Gao Fei's hand suddenly changed his move, and the tail of the spear swept out. With a heavy blow, Zhou Cang was knocked off the horse. At the same time, he hurriedly reined in the horse. The horse neighed and raised its two front hooves.
Lifting it up, when it landed, the dragon gun in Gao Fei's hand was already pressed against Zhou Cang's throat.
Zhou Cang's face turned cold. He never thought that he would be captured by Gao Fei inadvertently. His eyes showed some admiration, he closed his eyes, raised his head, and shouted loudly: "Kill me!"
"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gao Fei's mouth, and he shouted to Lu Heng in the formation: "Tied!"
Lu Heng hurriedly got off his horse, walked over with two cavalrymen holding ropes, tied up Zhou Cang very quickly, and then escorted him back to the main formation.
When Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei saw this scene, they all nodded with satisfaction, but the three of them had different thoughts. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei admired each other, but Liu Bei had another plan in mind.
He was thinking how great it would be if he could also make Gao Fei his adoptive brother.
When the yellow scarf thieves under Guangzong City saw Zhou Cang being captured and Gao Fei riding majestically on horseback, they all became frightened and ran back to the city. They closed the city gate tightly and did not dare to come out again.
On the city tower, a man in a Taoist robe looked at the smoke billowing behind the thousand cavalry below the city, and the orange-red army was surrounding them step by step, and shouted loudly: "The whole city is on alert!"
Gao Fei saw that the people on the city wall with their heads wrapped in yellow scarves had drawn their bows and arrows and pointed them at the city. No one was allowed to come even half a step closer. It was a scene of chilling. He turned his horse back to the formation and saw a man in front of him.
The thousand cavalrymen thought about the high and thick city wall and shouted: "Dismount the entire army and rest where they are, waiting for the arrival of the siege troops!"
