On the morning of the second day, there were suddenly piles of scattered clouds in the sky. By noon, when Liangren also appeared in the north and south of Gaoling, these white clouds crowded together and formed a sea of gray clouds. They
As it surged back and forth, the originally hot temperature quickly dropped, and a damp, earthy smell gradually appeared in the air. Both the offensive and defensive sides knew that it was probably going to rain soon.
Lu Bu looked at the weather and happily said to the generals in the city: "Lianggou attacked the city, but our army defeated it for a while and took the lead. Now it's going to rain heavily again. I'm afraid they won't be able to attack the city in the next few days.
This is God protecting us!"
Everyone is very happy. Gaoling City is located on the Fengzheng Plateau. Not only is the city high, but the land around it is soft and sandy. Once it rains heavily, the ground will turn into a swamp, making it difficult to walk through the mud. If the Liang people attack the city at this time, they will inevitably
He moved slowly and fired arrows like rain on the city. Immediately, corpses fell like grass. More importantly, it rained heavily at this time. Just as General Fenwu said, if there is God's help, so the morale is high, it doesn't matter.
Fear of the enemy.
But Song Xian remembered something, and he said to Lu Bu: "General, although rain is a good thing, when the rain comes, I'm afraid the several traps we set under the city will be exposed."
Lu Bu then remembered that in addition to repairing some fences and antlers under the city these days, they also built some traps. I'm afraid they won't be able to use them when the rain comes down. It's better to use them now, so he said: "In this case, why not
You go and seduce me in front of the battle. If it works, Liang people will probably be scared."
After receiving the order, Song Xian immediately lowered his body and responded. He went to the city and ordered more than ten horses, then opened the city gate, came out from the fence on the edge of the plateau, and went to Liangren in the east to make a challenge.
When Li Jue got his reward, he sneered and said, "Lü Bu is very clever, and he even resorted to delaying the attack." Upon hearing this, his nephew Li Li admonished Li Jue, "Even so, we must not refuse to fight, otherwise the king's army suffered a small defeat yesterday.
I dare not accept the challenge today, for fear of damaging the morale of the army."
Li Jue thought about it and agreed with Li Li's point of view, so he asked him to bring more than a dozen riders to challenge him. He told him: "Although there are many new soldiers among the soldiers, those who can challenge must be the warriors among the soldiers."
, Don't underestimate the enemy." He also brought more than a dozen of his followers to fight outside the camp.
When Song Xian saw Li Li coming out, he had no intention of fighting immediately. Instead, he lightly reined his horse and walked out of the crowd. He rode a handsome gray silver war horse with several shining gems inlaid on the saddle. The horse's head
He wore an iron curtain to block arrows, and there were a few gray feathers stuck on the curtain. He himself wore a light yellow military uniform, a rhinoceros armor, and his bows, arrows, and knives were placed horizontally behind the saddle.
Shaking the reins and riding the horse, he walked slowly and slowly towards Liangying. He looked like the leader of this trip.
Gradually entering the arrow range, Song Xian reined in his horse and stopped. Instead of taking the bow, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "I am Song Xian, the captain of Chiyang under the command of General Wenhou of the Third Division of Yibi."
, In the name of General Fenwu, I come to ask the general who leads your army to speak!"
Hearing that the enemy coming from the opposite side was a school captain, Li Li rode out alone to respond. In order to facilitate galloping, neither he nor his mount wore armor.
A long horse with a black back and a white back, two bows on its waist, and a long scorpion in its arms, slowly leaned towards Song Xian opposite.
Half an arrow's distance away from Song Xian, Li Li stopped his horse and said to him: "I am Li Li, the lieutenant under the command of Li Jue, the commander of the imperial family in Huangzhong. If you have any peace, just tell me."
Song Xian could not help but feel disappointed when he saw that only a captain came, so he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Colonel Li is not the leader of the army, so I still invite General Li to come and answer."
Li Li snorted, pointed to the precious armor on him and his horse, and said: "Song Lieutenant's treasures must have come from Xiwu! My Lord has been deeply favored by the Grand Master, how can I be like you?"
I have already tolerated the words of a shameless man who kills his Lord, and I have tolerated it again and again. If you want to say it, say it bluntly. Do you also want to imitate that thief Wang Yun and incite people's hearts?"
Song Xian's face turned red after being scolded like this. He didn't know how many times he had stabbed Li Li in his heart. It took him a long time to swallow the anger and said slowly: "It is really words that only a general can report. Since the captain insists,
Then please come and talk." After saying that, he waved to Li Li, who also picked up the reins and slowly raised the horse closer.
You can hear everything being said here, so why are you still getting closer? Could it be that he really has something secret to say as he said? Li Li tilted his head and glanced at Song Xian a few times, feeling that this man was frivolous in his words and was not really a kind person. There must be something wrong with him.
A man who uses tricks. He was secretly on guard in his heart, but on the surface he was very calm, showing no sign of fear, and he slowly drew closer.
The two horses were only about ten steps apart. Li Li thought to himself, if we go further, only one of him and me will survive! He followed Li Jue on his expeditions to the north and south, and he had already become aware of the life and death duel in a moment, so he secretly reminded himself
Work hard, without any burden or tension in your heart.
At this moment, he suddenly found a stone lying between the two riders, only five or six steps away from him. The stone was not small, and an ordinary person would have to use both hands to pick it up. He took a phantom look and saw that it was surrounded by dirt.
, there is no stone similar to it. How strange is this stone? If it were not man-made, why would it be placed here? The jackal-like sense of smell on the battlefield reminded him that this stone must be related to Song Xian's actions!
He raised his eyes and glanced at Song Xian, and saw that he was still slowly lifting the horse with a calm face. At this moment, Li Li clamped the horse's belly with his feet, suddenly turned his hand, took out the bow from the bow bag on his side, and pulled it from the side of the horse's mane.
Pull out an arrow. This is where he usually hides arrows. He doesn't have to reach for the quiver at the back, which often makes the enemy unprepared. Just when he quickly drew the bow and nocked the arrow, Song Xian opposite showed a surprised expression.
, he turned his right hand behind to grab the bow, but with his left hand he pulled the bridle horizontally and turned the horse's head back. His intention was obviously to turn the horse back and then turn around to shoot the arrow. This was right, because the opponent had already taken the opportunity.
, if you shoot at each other immediately, you will definitely suffer.
Unfortunately, Li Li's arrow came too fast. A strange cry like a gull was heard, and a whistle that pierced the bone whistle came, and struck Song Xian's forehead and the tip of the arrow like lightning.
It was shot from the temple above the left ear, and the arrow was buried in the feathers. Song Xian leaned back and fell off the horse. He still grabbed the reins of the horse with his left hand and pulled the horse's front hooves up for a half turn. Only then did the body fall heavily on the ground.
Above the dust.
This scene happened so suddenly that before the soldiers on both sides could recover, the new Chiyang Colonel Song Xian was already dead on his horse.
Li Li's two subordinates saw their master shooting and surrendering, and hurriedly urged their horses forward to seize the enemy's head. Seeing the two of them running out, Li Li quickly stretched out his hand to stop them, but only had time to say, "Be careful with the rocks."
", Liang Ren jumped out on horseback. His horse's head suddenly sank, as if the ground was sinking, and then there was a roar, and both Ren and the horse fell into the trap. The pitiful howl suddenly rose into the sky with the dust in the pit.
.Through the smoke and dust, you can see that the pit is densely filled with sharpened wood. Anyone who falls in has no chance of surviving.
Sure enough, it was a scam! He used stones as markers to lure the Liang army generals into being deceived, thereby lowering their morale and delaying the Liang people's attack. Li Li figured out the plan and broke out in a cold sweat, but now it was time to fight. He
He quickly adjusted his mind, roared angrily, raised his head high, and flew the flying horse around the trap, directly into the horseman behind. When the accompanying knights saw this, they also urged their horses to chase after them. Seeing that the strategy was ineffective, they all rushed their horses to escape. However,
When they arrived at the fence, the people inside did not dare to open the door again because of the approaching cavalry behind them. The horsemen outside had no choice but to run along the fence and run for their lives. Li Li and other riders also walked along the fence, approaching and riding on the flanks, firing arrows frequently, bang.
The sound of snapping strings was like thunderbolts, and people in panic fell off their horses one after another.
When there were only two people left, one person jumped off the horse and injured his leg. He was on the ground unable to get up for a while. Li Li grabbed his belt with one hand, lifted him up and tied a rope around him, and then lifted him off the horse.
After throwing it down, the man screamed, and the armor scraped the ground, making a clanging sound. Only then did Li Li realize that he was catching a young man.
After riding his horse for more than a hundred steps away from the fence, Li Li dismounted and took off the prisoner's collar and collar. He found that he was indeed a boy in his teens. He was about six feet tall, with a square face, broad brows, and...
There was a fierce aura. Even though his legs and feet hurt, he still tried his best to stand up straight and looked at Li Li with wide eyes.
Li Li was curious for a moment and asked him: "Why did you go to the battlefield at such a young age?"
The young man listened to his question and said proudly: "I followed my father on the battlefield, and Captain Chiyang who was shot to death by you is my father!"
As soon as the words came out, he took out a short knife from his legs and feet and suddenly pounced on him. Li Li thought that he was unable to resist and was unprepared. He was caught off guard and was pressed to the ground by him and stabbed into his abdomen. But the young man pounced.
He had already exhausted all his strength, and before he could continue to exert more force, the horsemen who followed him rushed over and chopped off his head with two knives. Blood spurted out on Li Li's face, but Li Li didn't care about this, he just
He held the boy's dagger tightly, his face pale.
Soon, the Liang people carried Li Li back to the military camp. Although Li Li was not dead, the knife was inserted into his abdomen and he was seriously injured. It was difficult to stop the bleeding, but he soon developed a high fever. Li Jue felt very distressed when he saw it.
, quickly get the cards and train in the camp, but as a result, he can no longer participate in this battle.
But in Gaoling City, when he learned that Song Xian and his son had died in battle, Lu Bu was furious. These were his old friends who had fought with him in Shangdang for several years. Who expected them to be here? He ordered that the gates could not be opened.
The soldiers were dealt with according to the law of martyrdom. Du Bo, who was in charge, was given fifty lashes, and the subordinates were beaten with thirty lashes, until their skin and flesh were torn to pieces. Seeing the blood-soaked appearance, the onlookers thought of Liang Qi's bravery and had high fighting spirit. At this time,
I feel a little depressed again.
After another two hours, the heavy rain really came down. The Liang people in the east suffered a loss and looked for traps left in the rain. They did not dare to slack off and stepped up the construction of watchtowers and earth platforms under the fence.
