Three Kingdoms

Du Yang.

A slightly strange name, and in the southwest of Duyang is Bowangpo, which is also famous in history. The reason why Duyang is called Duyang is because to the north of Duyang is Nanyang, and Duyang is like blocking the intersection from Nanyang to the south.

Duyang Bowangpo area is bounded by Funiu Mountain to the north, Yinshan Mountain to the south, and Baihe River to the west. It is a hilly area where Funiu Mountain extends here. The terrain is dangerous and it is the thoroughfare of the Xianghan Pass. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Although Liu Biao was old, he was not stupid. He never let down his guard against Cao Cao for a day, so he sent General Gan Ning to guard here to block Cao Cao's main route south to Jingxiang.

As for the Battle of Bowangpo in history, Mr. Luo placed it on Zhuge's head, but in fact this battle had nothing to do with Zhuge, because this battle took place in the seventh year of Jian'an, and Zhuge Liang wanted to fight in Jian'an. It didn't matter much that he only came out to assist Liu Bei between the eleventh and twelfth years after Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times.

Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie were able to pass through Nanyang, Runan, the original base of Yuan Shu. On the one hand, the Yuan family has indeed been corrupted, and both its strength and influence are not as good as before. On the other hand, in the past few years after Yuan Shu's death, Runan County has been so corrupted that Runan is now again occupied by Yellow Turban thieves. Of course, these so-called Yellow Turban thieves are actually still local powerful people, just like the group of people in Taishan County.

Because Runan County is now almost impoverished, if it were occupied, not only would it not receive any taxes, but it would also have to pay out a lot of money and food, so neither Cao Cao nor Liu Biao were very interested in this area, which is why Because of this, Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie were able to reach Duyang from Yingchuan smoothly.

After all, it was Duyang. As the name suggests, Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie were blocked.

The sun poured down from the sky, illuminating the surroundings brightly, but Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling still felt a little hazy in their hearts. Standing on the mound and looking into the distance, you can see Jingzhou soldiers patrolling at the top of Duyang City. Although Du Yangcheng is not big, it is like a roadblock, blocking the way.

In fact, this weather... Zhang Lie raised his head and sighed, it is the best for fighting...

He was originally just a subordinate in the Northland. He rented Beiqu and other places in Feiqian and basically joined the army when he fought against Baibo. Before he knew it, many years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Lie knew that his ability was not strong. After all, he grew up in the Northland. It was just because he had some superficial strength and dared to risk his life when fighting due to some disputes, so he became somewhat famous in the local area. Later, he became famous in the local area. He got the position of a subordinate Cao. A low-level official in a county town, Cao, was a low-ranking official. Now he has become a miscellaneous captain, which can be regarded as a success.

The war horse behind him seemed to understand Zhang Lie's words. He stretched out his head and snored, and some fine and warm saliva splashed onto Zhang Lie's face.

Zhang Lie laughed and cursed, wiped his face, then slapped the war horse's big head, and pushed the guy's extended head back.

There hasn't been much movement in the past two days. I always feel that something is wrong... Zhu Ling didn't pay attention to the interaction between Zhang Lie and his horse. Instead, he stared at Du Yang closely, tut... How can we get over?

On one side is Funiu Mountain, on the other side is Yin Mountain, and Duyang is among them. Of course, if you have to go over mountains and ridges, it's not impossible. But the problem is that neither Zhang Lie nor Zhu Ling are familiar with the terrain here. If they get lost in the mountains and forests, it will be troublesome.

what to do?

Zhu Ling admitted that he took it for granted. It turned out that Zhu Ling thought that General Hussar came from Jingzhou, so he still had some friendship with Jingzhou. It shouldn't be too difficult to borrow the road by himself, and then he could go back and forth like Taishi Ci back then. Make a big detour and go back to Heluo. But what I didn't expect was that when I arrived in Jingzhou, the reality was different from what I imagined.

If it doesn’t work, we’ll call you back! Zhang Lie laughed and patted Zhu Ling on the shoulder, "It's okay!" A man's body is wrapped in horse leather, and his life and death are determined by his fate!

Hi! Zhu Ling smiled, but then frowned. It was someone's suggestion after all...

Zhang Lie was just comforting himself. If he really had to turn back again, let alone the problem of food and grass on the way, would the people of Yingchuan be unprepared? Cao Jun was somewhat caught off guard when he killed the first carbine, but if he was killed by the second carbine and was not prepared at all, it would be completely impossible.

Maybe Cao Jun is setting up a stronghold and digging a hole somewhere, just waiting for him and Zhang Lie to jump back.

Therefore, the best way is still to pass through Jingzhou and circle back to Heluo.

Zhu Ling felt that since it was his own suggestion, he always had to find a way. He couldn't just throw away his hands and say it had nothing to do with him when he encountered a problem. What kind of person would he be?

The two people were talking to each other when they suddenly saw the Duyang City Gate move, and then the suspension bridge slowly descended. Several Jingzhou soldiers came out of the city and came towards Zhu Ling, Zhang Lie and others.

Going to a banquet? The troops?

Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie glanced at each other, and then Zhu Ling waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and asked the Jingzhou soldiers who came to deliver the message to wait aside. He and Zhang Lie took a few steps aside and whispered: Zhang Brother, what do you think?

Those things given two days before the relationship are not considered labor? Zhang Lie scratched the back of his head, and he had to ask for a formal invitation one time before he could settle it? Why do you think this is a bit weird?

Zhu Ling chuckled and said, "What do we need this little labor supply for?" Let us pass as soon as possible to be considered a real labor force! Are we still short of this feast of meat and wine? And he also said that only you and me are invited to enter the city... If after you and I enter the city, the city gate is closed...

It's no wonder that Zhu Ling was suspicious. If he had opened the city gate at the beginning and welcomed people into the city without saying a word, Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie would naturally not have any suspicion. As a result, Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie were asked to wait outside the city lukewarmly at first. Then he threw away some supplies as if he was sending away beggars and refugees, and now he suddenly became enthusiastic again and said that he would hold a banquet. Their attitude changed before and after. It would be unreasonable if Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie were still happy and thinking about nothing.

Zhu Ling murmured to himself and thought.

Zhang Lie turned his head and squinted at Duyang City in the distance. Suddenly a thought came to his mind and he couldn't suppress it immediately...

…………

It’s coming, haha, it’s coming! On the top of Duyang City, Zhang Yun looked at the group of people approaching slowly in the distance. He couldn't help but laugh from his heart. He clapped his hands and said with a smile, the plan is done! Come on, open the city gate and lower the drawbridge!

At that moment, Zhang Yun even felt that he was possessed by the old man, uh, Zhang Liang's spirit! Any strategy that comes to mind on the road can be so successful! Could it be that he is what is called a natural talent?

The Jingzhou soldiers on the side looked at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

Open the city gate! Lower the drawbridge!

The soldiers at the top of the city gave loud orders, and then someone responded and began to rotate the winch of the suspension bridge. Amidst the creaking sound, the suspension bridge slowly descended and finally landed on the pier on the opposite side of the moat, arousing a faint layer of excitement. Soot.

Gan Ning pinched his beard and frowned, looking at the men and horses getting closer and closer to the city.

Zhang Yun couldn't control his excitement, and said with a smile: Wait for someone to go and greet him! General, get ready too! After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he was ready to go down the city wall.

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows. Gan Ning always felt that Zhang Yun was flashy, just like this Hongmen Banquet plan. Gan Ning always felt that it was a joke. He didn't directly invite people in and then do it, but he had to do it at the banquet. It was like taking off his clothes. Nothing can be done without a robe...

Can't you just lift it up and do it directly?

Of course, Zhang Yun also had his own reasons. He said that he could not make too much noise, and maybe he could force Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling to order the troops outside the city to surrender and reduce the loss of war horses. This seemed to be more or less reasonable. But Gan Ning always felt that it was not straightforward enough.

Seeing that the suspension bridge had been lowered and the men and horses under the city were approaching the city gate, Gan Ning's heart suddenly jumped and he shouted: No! Pull up the drawbridge! Pull up the suspension bridge quickly!

Not only did these people outside the city not slow down, but they were still accelerating as they approached!

This motherfucker is not here for a banquet, she is here to rob the city!

There are about two thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Duyang City. The cavalry is pitifully few, less than a hundred. Moreover, as the gateway to the north blocking Cao Cao, its military significance is greater than tax revenue, so the city is not very wealthy. Most of them are facilities for military purposes. The roads in the city are similar to those of ordinary small towns, with a gut going straight to the bottom. Therefore, if you are robbed into the city, if you are not prepared, it will be really difficult to stop you for a while!

The Hussars have captured the city!

Not only was the small group of men and horses nearby accelerating, but smoke and dust also rose in the distance, and the chaotic sound of horse hooves hit the hearts of the Jingzhou soldiers. This group of hussars and horses were so careless, Just rush forward like this!

Just like a mountain in front of you has to be overthrown, and a river in front of you has to be broken down!

They are obviously smaller in number than the garrison in the city, but it seems that these hussars are more powerful!

This, is this the true face of the Qiaoqirenma?

Are these guys crazy?

Almost everyone in Duyang City had such an idea in their minds.

Normally, the suspension bridge should be pulled immediately, and then the city gate should be closed. At the same time, bows and arrows were fired from the top of the city to block the city gate. But the problem is that most of the Jingzhou soldiers originally thought that the original group of people was not a threat, let alone What kind of preparations are there? In addition, Jingzhou soldiers are not all professional soldiers like Fei Qian. Although there is training, most Jingzhou soldiers are still accustomed to obeying the orders of their superiors. Without instructions, they don’t know what they should do... …

So even though Gan Ning's battlefield intuition is very keen, and he even yelled when Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling first showed their intention to seize the city, after all, Gan Ning only has one mouth, and after he ordered this, he couldn't order that. I don't know if that's the case. For this reason, or because he was attracted by the momentum of the cavalry, Gan Ning only ordered people to pull the suspension bridge, and then they swarmed at the windlass of the suspension bridge and hurriedly pulled it, while Jingzhou at the city gate The soldiers just stood and watched blankly, not to mention immediately gathering archers on the top of the city to cover.

The suspension bridge broke away from the ground and slowly moved upward.

But the next moment, the huge horse's hooves hit the bridge deck hard. The weight of the man, horse and armor weighed more than half a ton, and it was almost like a small Q hitting the bridge deck!

One after another, the war horses jumped onto the suspension bridge. The sudden increase in weight immediately overwhelmed the Jingzhou soldiers who were working hard to winch on the city gate tower. Some people were even hit in the head and face by the winch that bounced back, and several bullets flew out on the spot. Big teeth!

The Jingzhou soldiers at the city gate were panicking, but before their shouts could stop, Zhang Lie had already passed the suspension bridge, reached the bottom of the city, and ran into the panicked Jingzhou soldiers without stopping!

The sound of shouting and killing suddenly erupted. The Jingzhou soldiers under the city gate were hit head-on by the cavalry carrying huge kinetic energy. Many of them flew out on the spot, sideways or folded, and hit the door opening or On the stone floor, the blood spurting out suddenly dyed the surrounding area red.

Only then did Zhang Yun react: What, what is going on? what happened? !

General Zhang! You mobilize soldiers on the city to defend against those behind you! Gan Ning yelled at Zhang Yun, it was too late to be humble or cover up, he should go to the city to intercept him! Move faster!

ah? Oh...oh...Zhang Yun agreed, but after Gan Ning had already rushed down the city with his sword, he didn't give any orders until the guards on the side urged him anxiously, and he seemed to suddenly wake up. , come on, come on! Archers, where are all the archers? And, and don't let these guys cut the suspension bridge ropes!

Zhang Yun finally shouted out, but it was too late.

Those who followed Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling to fight were all the old men who had rushed through Jizhou with Taishi Ci. Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling did not need to explain anything in particular. As soon as they rushed onto the suspension bridge, two or three people directly picked them up and hung them on them. The ax on the side of the war horse flew down, risking being collided and trampled by his comrades, howling and slashing at the rope bolts of the suspension bridge!

It is unrealistic to cut the rope in the air, because the hemp rope is as thick as an arm, is quite elastic and tough, and can also sway, but the only fixed point of the rope is on the peg!

Amidst the loud noise, the suspension rope flew away and hit the soldier who was cutting the suspension rope. He was immediately pulled from the suspension bridge into the ravine and stuck on the bamboo spear in the trench. Blood spattered everywhere. He suddenly lost his breath, but even so, especially while holding the ax with several holes in it high!

rush! Rush over!

Since the formation of the army, led by hussars, we have never been defeated! Today is no different! Zhu Ling waved his sword and shouted, "No one in the world can stop us!" No one can stop the hussar! Rush over!
