Chapter 187 Chapter Fourteen

Chapter 14, Part Six, Everlasting and Everlasting The two armies of Yong and Chu faced each other at Guazhoudu, and they all stood still. For three days, Huaixi was in a hurry. The captain, Chen, was captured and unyielding, and all of them died.The two armies jointly attacked Shouchun, which is an important town in Huainan. If you want to win Huainan, you must win Shouchun.At that time, Lu Can's eldest son, Yun, was ordered to help Shi Guan guard Shouchun. Yun was thirteen years old, and his martial arts were extraordinary. When the Huaixi army and people heard that Yun was here, they all said, "The general will not abandon us, but fight to the death with all our strength. Yong's army can't move an inch." Enter.

——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian".Yongji III Zhongli City was finally captured, but Dong Shan was not happy at all. For five days, Zhongli City, which had only 3,000 defenders, made him suffer a lot. The 30,000 army attacked the city day and night, and Zhongli, who was obviously so weak, However, he never surrendered. The outer city fell, and he retreated to the inner city. After the inner city fell, he fought in the streets inch by inch. This small Zhongli city almost sucked the blood of the Yong army.Sitting in the lobby of the Zhongli County Sheriff's Office, looking at the Zhongli Sheriff who was escorted by the soldiers, Dong Shan took a deep breath and said: "You resist the Dayong Heavenly Army, and your crime is unforgivable. If you are willing to surrender, I will The general will spare your life for the time being, if you don’t surrender, don’t blame me for using your head to pay homage to the spirits of my soldiers.”

The county guard of Zhongli is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He laughed and said: "Zhu is the leader of the country, Kai Enke's proctor, and he is deeply favored by the country. How can he bow his knees and surrender to the enemy? If he wants to kill him, he will kill him. Why bother talking?" .” Dong Shan was furious, and said: "Pull him to the front of the gate and chop him up to fulfill his loyalty." Those sergeants pushed the sheriff away, and when they arrived at the gate of the government office, they knocked the sheriff to the ground and were about to execute him. At this time, a general with his helmet scattered and in a state of distress was bound and sent here by the Yong army. The county guard was beheaded, and the general hissed and asked: "Master county guard, why do you insist on defending to the death, and refuse to surrender from your command?"

The county guard surnamed Zhu said: "I was ordered by the imperial court to guard Zhongli. How can I abandon the city and flee, and the Yong army is attacking fiercely. If I want to survive, Zhongli has already fallen. It is easy to retreat, let alone so many people." The soldiers have already taken the first step, how can this county guard keep them waiting for a long time. Although the general is lenient, but you and I are both servants of Southern Chu, how can we not sacrifice our lives for the country." After saying that, the county guard surnamed Zhu was tortured. After hearing this, the general sighed and said: "The county guard, a literati, died for the country, let alone a warrior like Chen?" After he was captured, he originally had the intention of surrendering. , entered the hall, although Dong Shan tried to persuade him to surrender, he didn't say a word, Dong Shan was impatient, and ordered him to be executed, and the general didn't say a word until he died.

After Zhongli repaired for a day, Dong Shan led the Xuzhou army to Shouchun. There were still 20 miles away from Shouchun. Cui Jue of Nanyang Camp had already sent envoys to greet him. This time, Nanyang Camp was the main force to attack Shouchun. However, because the soldiers of Nanyang Daying were not familiar with the geography of Huainan, the imperial court decided that Pei Yun would send a team to support Changsun Ji.However, Dong Shan and Cui Jue were old acquaintances, both of them had served under King Qi, and they parted ways several years ago.The personal guard who came to greet him was Cui Fang, the nephew of Cui Jue clan, and also Dong Shan's old acquaintance.He rode forward, looked Cui Fang up and down for a moment, and said with a loud smile: "My good boy, I haven't seen you in a few years, you are already this old, how is it, how is the battle going, how is your uncle?"

The young guard also smiled and said: "Uncle Dong, my uncle is in good health. The battle is very fierce. Shouchun's defenders are almost desperate to resist. Uncle feels that there are not enough troops. It will be all right if you come here." Dong Shan's heart was shocked, it seems that Shouchun is not easy here, and then he said solemnly: "Dong Shan, deputy general of Xuzhou Daying, was ordered by General Pei, the governor of Huainan, to follow General Cui's orders." Seeing this, the messenger also said seriously: "General Cui Jue, General Pingyuan of Nanyang Daying, was ordered by General Changsun to attack Shouchun, and his subordinate Cui Fang was ordered by General to welcome General Dong."

The two of them looked at each other with a smile, and Dong Shan sent an order to the soldiers under his command to set up camp first, and he brought a few personal guards and followed Cui Fang to look for Cui Jue in front of the battle. In front of Shouchun City, fireworks filled the air. Cui Jue, who was in his thirties, frowned and looked ahead. He was originally a man with a good appearance, but unfortunately his appearance was completely destroyed by a scar on his cheek. Dong Shan rode his horse to the front of the battle. At that time, Cui Jue was pointing at Shouchun City with his horsewhip and said: "Let the death-death battalion go up to the city. From there, there must be enemy generals there, otherwise the defenders would not be so tenacious." The first battalion of Qingjia sergeants rushed to Shouchun City with a murderous spirit.Dong Shan naturally knew that these were sergeants who violated the military law, or they were simply prisoners of the army. If they could make great contributions and survive, they would be able to regain their freedom. Such systems exist in the military.

At this time, Cui Jue had already noticed that Dong Shan was coming, turned his head and said with a smile, "Has Zhongli been breached? I'm still in a state of desperation here." Dong Shan bowed at the horse and said, "Brother Cui, you have always been good, so don't make fun of me. I attacked a small bell for five days, but in the end, I didn't even get an important prisoner." Cui Jue asked strangely: "Why, are the guards and Zhongli county guards both killed?" Dong Shan said with shame: "I was the one who captured them all, but I got angry and beheaded them all."

Cui Jue was slightly taken aback, and smiled: "It's nothing, General Pei won't blame you for this incident, and will probably cover it up for you, but the Southern Chu Army in Huaixi is really brave and good at fighting, you Let the army rest for a while, and attack the city with me tomorrow, and I don’t know if the Death Battalion can seriously injure the defenders there.” After he finished speaking, he raised his whip and pointed at Shouchun City, and Dong Shan also looked up. Seeing that the soldiers of the Death Battalion had climbed to the top of the city against the rain of arrows and rolling stones, there seemed to be no obstacles, Dong Shan frowned and said, "It seems easy."

Cui Jue was also puzzled and said: "Strange, I have attacked the city many times these days, and every time it is very difficult from this direction, even if I go to the top of the city, no one can survive. Why is it so easy this time?" Seeing the green armor of the death battalion warrior disappear into the mouth, the two felt inexplicable that the attack this time would definitely not succeed.At this moment, the sound of fighting mixed with screams suddenly came from the head of Shouchun City, and the figure of the Southern Chu Army appeared in the stomping mouth there. Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other, Cui Jue smiled wryly and said, "Unexpectedly, this time they used the trick of inviting you into the urn."

Dong Shan sighed: "It must be that they also know the strength of the Death Battalion, so they simply let them attack in and slowly annihilate them. We can't see the actual battle situation. If we want to decide the next step based on the battle situation there Offensive, any decision made may be wrong, the general guarding there must be full of confidence and strategy, but I see that Shuai Qi is not there, he must be an ordinary general, and Shouchun City is really full of talents." Cui Jue knew that the Death Battalion might have thrown itself into a trap this time, but after all, the Death Battalion must still be fighting hard, and the outcome was unpredictable, so he still dispatched heavy troops to take the opportunity to seize the city. , General Pei's situation in Huaidong is unstoppable, but we are struggling every step of the way in Huaixi." Dong Shan comforted him and said, "I can't blame you or me. The Huaidong army has been corrupt for a long time. General Pei has sent countless scouts to Huaidong to investigate the military situation. He already knows the generals of Huaidong well. If it wasn't for this, how could General Pei Going into the Chuzhou camp alone to assassinate the enemy general." Cui Jue was watching the situation at the top of Shouchun City, and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor issued a decree to reprimand General Pei, forbidding him to take risks again, and he almost took the credit of the Chuzhou Camp by himself." Erased." Dong Shan said indifferently: "The general won't take it to heart, but for the time being, he will definitely not take risks lightly again." While the two were chatting, the sound of fighting on the top of the city had disappeared. Cui Jue smiled wryly, knowing that the Death Battalion he had entrusted with great hope had been completely wiped out, so he issued a military order to slow down the offensive. The siege failed again. On the top of the city, Lu Yun panted heavily and sat down on the ground, looking at the corpses of the Yong army's death camp scattered all over the siege, and then at the sharpened steel knife in his hand. Cheng He, the fight just now made him take a turn from the gate of hell. If the two sergeants hadn't fought to the death to block the enemy's sword for him, his head might have fallen to the ground.Although he is the son of a general, he is also skilled both internally and externally, with supernatural powers in his arms, but compared with these brave soldiers who are not afraid of death, he is still not as imposing. Thinking of this, he is not only a little scared, but his plan of inviting the king into the urn almost became a way to lure wolves into the house .But there is no way to do this. He clearly knows that the enemy is the warriors of the Death Battalion. If he does not surround and annihilate them, but just resists the enemy's strong attack, he is afraid that the enemy will break through the line of defense. After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Ming, the general in charge of defending this area, came over and said with a smile: "Young general, it really is a good plan. We have fought against the enemy's death camp before. If we don't lose more than three times , it is impossible to wipe out the death camps, and this time our losses have been reduced by more than half." Lu Yun blushed, and said: "Everyone is fighting to the death, I just came up with an idea." Chen Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "As expected of the son of the great general, our general sent someone to invite you over." Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it convenient now, the enemy army is still attacking the city?" Chen Ming said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the Yong army is already weak, and this day can be passed smoothly again." At this time, a sergeant shouted loudly: "It's not good, the enemy has launched the banner of Xuzhou Camp, and Zhongli is over." Both Lu Yun and Chen Ming were startled. They ran to the front of the city and looked down. They saw two more flags next to the flag of the commander in chief of the Yong army. One was the flag of Xuzhou Daying, and the other There was a big word "Dong" on the flag, and Lu Yun was shocked. He clearly knew that Zhongli's fall would happen sooner or later, but it was still so difficult to accept. At this time, someone in the Yong army shouted loudly: "Our army has already captured Zhongli. The heads of Zhongli County Guard and Zhongli Captain are here. Listen, General Shouchun. If you don't surrender, once the city is broken, you will also be suspended." The gate of the first city." Someone raised two heads with a flagpole to stand in front of the formation. The defenders on the city were in an uproar, and their morale dropped a lot for a while. Many soldiers rushed to the side of the city wall, looked down, and saw the tall head. At this time, the sound of teeth gnashing suddenly came from Lu Yun's side. Lu Yun turned his head to look, and saw Chen Ming's eyes full of anger and murderous intent, looking at the "Dong" flag of the Yongjun Army, with a look on his face. His expression was inexplicably sad, and tears fell from his eyes.Confused in his heart, he looked to the left and right, and a sergeant said in a low voice: "Captain Zhongli Chen is Brother Chen's elder brother." Lu Yun screamed, and looked at Chen Ming sadly.At this time, Chen Ming jumped up to the city and stomped on the city, and said loudly: "Listen, thieves in the city, you killed my elder brother, and I, Chen Ming, risked my life to avenge this blood revenge. Brothers, why are you so depressed? Junshou Zhu and Captain Chen have already If we are loyal to the country, do we still want them to laugh at us in front of Lord Yan that we are greedy for life and afraid of death?" From the commander-in-chief in front of Shouchun, a deep and powerful voice said: "Swear to defend the city to the death, kill the enemy to revenge." Shouchun defenders also shouted after hearing the voice: "Swear to defend the city to the death, kill the enemy to revenge!" The voice was earth-shattering , There is no more grief and depression just now. Cui Jue and Dong Shan in the city looked at each other, and the strategy to hit the enemy's morale failed.Cui Jue frowned, and winked at a personal guard. That personal guard was a famous archer. Under Changsun Ji's command, there were a lot of soldiers who were good at archery.He understood Cui Jue's meaning, rode his horse forward, and under the cover of several sergeants, he shot an arrow towards the city. The arrow was like a meteor lightning flash, and the shadow of the arrow could hardly be seen. Shoot at Chen Ming who is still standing on the city gate.Chen Ming was still watching his brother's head weeping, he didn't pay attention to the surprise attack of the Yong army, all the troops in the city shouted loudly: "Be careful!" But faster than their warning cries were two arrow shadows, shot from behind Chen Ming and the place where the handsome flag was, and the two arrow shadows hit the sneak attack arrow almost at the same time The arrow broke into three pieces, and the two arrow shadows also bounced back, which shows that the strength is weaker, the defenders on the city all cheered loudly, but the Yong army below the city also shouted loudly: "Good arrow! "Yong Jun was not stingy with praising the enemy, but their fighting spirit not only did not weaken, but became more vigorous, and they were all eager to try. Both Cui Jue and Dong Shan showed wry smiles. The morale of the enemy troops in the city was high. Although their own side had also been provoked to fight, if they continued to attack the city at this time, apart from increasing losses, it was absolutely impossible to succeed. See Looking at the sky, the two decided to withdraw their troops at the same time. Looking at the Yong army retreating slowly, Lu Yun put down his bow and arrow, and sighed in his heart, no wonder Dayong has been able to stand upright surrounded by heroes for many years, and he saw these soldiers cheering for the enemy army without weakening their momentum at all. On the contrary, he became more motivated to fight, and knew that even the elite soldiers under his father's command could not compare with them. After all, they lacked such confidence and firmness.These Yong army, even if they lose their main general, they will still be able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, but if something happens to their father, the Jiangxia camp and the Jiujiang camp will be leaderless and panicked. Amidst Chen Ming's thanks and the praises of other soldiers, Lu Yun asked curiously: "I don't know who fired the arrow at the same time as me just now, why didn't I remember that General Shi's personal guard had such a skilled archer?" When those soldiers heard this, they suddenly showed secret smiles. Chen Ming had already struggled out of the grief of losing his brother, and forced a smile: "Young general, anyway, our general is waiting for you over there, why don't you go and see What do you see?" Lu Yun thought the same, so he walked over there, and after a while, he came under the commander-in-chief flag, and saw Huaixi Chief General Shi Guan was there ordering the repair of the city wall to prepare for tomorrow's battle.Lu Yun's gaze fell on a young man standing next to Shi Guan. The young man was about the same age as him, and his appearance was 70% similar to Shi Guan's, but the eyebrows were much more delicate. Shi Guan was originally handsome. The young man was handsome and handsome, although he was not as strong as Lu Yun, but he had a sword on his waist and a bow on his shoulder, with a faint sword aura and a heroic appearance. As soon as Lu Yun saw the boy, he felt sympathetic to each other. He felt that this boy must have shot the arrow just now, but it was inconvenient to talk to him first, so he went up to Shi Guan and saluted: "The general summoned Lu Yun for being late. Please forgive me, general." crime." Shi took a look at Lu Yun and said with a smile, "Nephew Yun is indeed a young hero. , and your father is also a brother, although there is a huge disparity in power and status, but you should still call me Shibo when you think about it." Lu Yun originally did not dare to use such an affectionate title because this General Shi was serious and formidable. He just called him General according to the rules in the army. Lu Yun pays respects to Uncle Shi." Shi Guan reached out to help each other, pointed to the handsome young man and said: "This is my daughter Shi Xiu, she was naughty since she was a child, she was raised as a boy by her grandmother and mother, she is one year older than you, you can call her sister Bar." Lu Yun's eyes widened. How could this be possible? Although this young man was very handsome, his brows were full of heroism, without any trace of the tenderness and gentleness of a girl. How could he be a young girl. Seeing this, Shi Xiu smiled coldly, stepped forward and kicked Lu Yun's calf, Lu Yun staggered in pain, and almost cried out, Shi Xiu said angrily: "What are you staring at? Also, no Call me sister, if you dare to scream, don't blame me for cutting you ten swords and eight swords." Shi Guan just pretended not to notice, leaving the two of them aside to continue to arrange military affairs, his daughter has been dressed as a man since she was a child, she doesn't look like a half girl, if not, how could she be ready for school next year, but she hasn't promised anyone yet, even The soldiers under his command obediently called her young master or young general. Some of them didn't even know that Shi Xiu was originally a girl, but he couldn't tell Lu Yun that he had a son. Overtly and secretly, he had an idea in his mind, but he didn't know whether it was high-level, so he explained Shixiu's identity as soon as he came up. The two boys and girls naturally didn't understand his intentions, seeing that Shi Guan was busy with military affairs, Shi Xiu pulled Lu Yun aside, threatened and lured him, and forbade him to be called a sister. Shi Xiu originally had an older brother who died young, so after Shi Xiu was born, Shi Guan raised Shi Xiu as a son in order to comfort his mother and wife. He didn't know anything about it, but he learned the art of bow and horse at a glance. Later, he asked an Emei master who had fled from Sichuan to learn internal boxing and sword. At a young age, his martial arts were already outstanding.She has a strong personality and doesn't like to be a female celebrity with those girls of the same age. She only likes to use guns and swords, and shoot horses and hunts. It's already a feast of talking and laughing, and the harmony is like brothers and sisters. On the second day, Cui Jue and Dong Shan rallied and attacked the city again. This time, they ignored any matters of heart attack and morale, but just attacked the city in a regular manner, seizing every loophole and every opportunity. During the offensive, stormy attacks were launched from time to time, night raids, surprise raids, all kinds of extremes were used, and Shi Guan did not show weakness. The army practiced almost all the means of attacking and defending the city one by one.With the protection of Jiancheng, the Shouchun defenders can be said to be comparable in strength to the Yong army. In terms of combat power, although the Yong army is stronger, the Huaixi army is not weak. It can be said that the morale and perseverance of the two sides are fighting.In this regard, Shouchun's defenders are not lacking. These days, Lu Yun almost defends the city wherever the enemy's main attack is from. From his immaturity at the beginning to his maturity later, he has become one of the best in the Southern Chu army. The warrior, that is, the Yong army who attacked the city below, also knew that Shouchun had a young archer, a young warrior.This kind of Lu Yun has become the pillar in the hearts of Shouchun's army and people. As long as Lu Yun is here, there will be reinforcements. Lu Yun is so brave at such a young age. .This kind of thought made every Huaixi soldier brave and fearless, and made Shouchun a Shura field second only to Xiangyang in the eyes of the Yong army for harvesting human lives. Shi Xiu didn't show any weakness either. She had a strong sense of rivalry with Lu Yun. Her sword and carved bow took no less lives than Lu Yun's. They are similar in weight and have the same superb archery skills. Although they use a sword and a sword, in the eyes of Yong Jun, they are regarded as the same person. Therefore, the young warriors of Shouchun look to the left and suddenly to the right. A mysterious and terrifying thorn in Yong Jun's mind. On November 20th, at You hour, the Yong army finally stopped their offensive and retreated again without gaining anything. Lu Yun looked at the away Yong army. These days, because of the Southern Chu army's attack on the camp, the Yong army had already taken over the camp. Moved ten miles away.Lu Yun moved his numb limbs exhaustedly, and dropped the horizontal knife in his hand. His own steel knife had already been destroyed. This knife was extra from the hands of the attacking Yong army, so it was natural to use it Just throw it away.At this moment, Shi Xiu strode over, and her military uniform was completely stained with blood. When defending the city or attacking the camp, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to appear in the same place, but there seemed to be an invisible force in the dark. They are attached to each other, even if thousands of people are separated, they seem to be able to feel each other's existence. ※※※※※ Shi Xiu stepped forward and said to Lu Yun, "Brother Yun, are you going to rob the camp tonight?" Lu Yun shook his head and said, "Yujin, I can't do it today. I have been robbed for three consecutive days. Today, the Yong army will definitely be prepared. I have already told my uncle." , Lu Yun showed a very astute intuition, choosing the right time to rob the camp, and if there was an ambush by the enemy, Lu Yun could always feel something was wrong before the scouts investigated.Even Lu Yun wondered if he had been fooled too much in Chang'an, making him so sensitive.As for calling Shi Xiu "Yu Jin", it was because Shi Xiu didn't allow him to call his sister, and it felt impolite to call her by her name directly, so Lu Yun simply called Shi Xiu's Biaozi, which was given to Shi Xiu by his master before he left half a year ago. her words. Shi Xiu nodded, and said indifferently: "Okay, then let's go back, this bloody dress is so uncomfortable." After speaking, she shrugged impatiently. If other women do this posture, it must be rough and ugly, but Shi Xiu does Come, but there is a feeling of unrestrained, not to mention that she is wearing men's clothes, she looks like a young general, she does not have half of a daughter's mood. This was the gesture that Lu Yun was used to, but for some reason, Lu Yun's heart suddenly trembled today, and he thought of Jiang Roulan, the princess of Zhaohua County, who had been deeply hidden in his memory.When we met for the first time, Rou Lan was also wearing men's clothes, but unlike Shi Xiu, although she was wearing men's clothes, she was so delicate and pretty, her temperament was pure, as clear as a clear spring, perhaps because of her identity, her radiance was That dazzling, although not coquettish, can even be said to be understanding, innocent, but Lu Yun always feels that Roulan has a temperament that looks up to her and looks far away.But the girl in front of him gave Lu Yun a kind feeling, like brothers and sisters, like flesh and blood, inseparable. When the two get along, they can communicate with each other almost without words.Shi Xiu looked at Lu Yun who was in a daze for no reason, and kicked him habitually. Lu Yun subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but seeing Shi Xiu's angry gaze somehow, his body couldn't move, and he was kicked hard. Strong.Lu Yun screamed, causing all the soldiers to cover their mouths and laugh. This kind of good show is always going on these days, and they are already familiar with it. At this time, the guards beside Shi Guan rushed over and said: "Young general, young master, the general called you over." Lu Yun and Shi Xiu looked at each other strangely, then Lu Yun stopped rubbing his legs, straightened up, and walked towards the direction of Shi Guan together with Shi Xiu. The gray-feathered and red-eyed carrier pigeon, Lu Yun's heart moved, he stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Uncle, but is it time to counterattack?" Shi Guan smiled slightly, and handed a piece of thin tissue paper to Lu Yun. Lu Yun took a look, only to see the word "war" with only an iron and silver hook painted on it, and the Southern Chu General Lu Can on the bottom. In addition, there is a small "C" character in the corner of the note. Lu Yun only felt ecstatic in his heart and couldn't speak anymore.Shi Xiu looked at the side in a daze, so she simply grabbed the note and looked at it over and over again. Lu Yun bowed to Shi Guan and said: "Uncle, Lu Yun also wants to join Uncle in fighting the enemy, please allow Uncle." Shi Guan frowned slightly, Lu Yun can naturally join in the defense of the city, and it's okay to steal the camp, but the counterattack is imminent, on the battlefield, swords and guns are ruthless, if Lu Yun makes a mistake, how can he explain to the general ?Seeing his hesitation, Lu Yun hurriedly said: "Uncle, you also know that sooner or later I will go to battle to kill the enemy. You have seen my martial arts these days. rush ahead." At this time, Shi Xiu read the note for a long time and didn't understand the meaning, so she returned it to Lu Yun. Shi Guan couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart, my girl can finally get married, that's all, this kid will go to battle sooner or later, it's better to follow me than others, and said: "Okay, prepare your horses and weapons , when the time comes to guard by my side." Shi Xiu understood now that she was going out of the city to fight, so she hurriedly said, "Father, I also want to go to battle to kill the enemy." This time Shi Guan didn't agree, and said angrily: "Nonsense, a girl is about to get married, and she doesn't know how to learn some middle-class things, she only knows how to wield swords and swords, this time it won't work, stay in the city obediently." inside." Shi Xiu tugged at his father's shirt and said, "Daddy, I'm no worse than Brother Yun, he can go to battle, why can't I, at most I'll just stay by Daddy's side to protect, besides, I won't marry those officials chosen by my mother My son, if you want to marry, marry a hero who can go to battle with me to fight the enemy." When she said the last sentence, she also had a trace of shame on her face, but her eyes were shining brightly, and she didn't flinch in the slightest. Lu Yun was photographed by her divine light, and couldn't help saying: "Uncle, Yujin is so outstanding in martial arts, let her be with her, and I will definitely protect her well on the battlefield." Unexpectedly, Shi Xiu didn't appreciate it, and kicked it quickly, saying: "Who wants your protection, my martial arts are worse than yours." Lu Yun didn't dare to dodge, but endured the kick with a bitter face. Shi Guan resisted the urge to laugh wildly, and then looked at Shi Xiu's appearance that I would follow you if you didn't let me go into battle, and thought, well, it's better to stay by my side and feel at ease, and said: "Okay, you two Let’s go together, but don’t leave my side.” Both Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were very happy, they held hands and ran to arrange the horses and weapons, without realizing that they should avoid suspicion.A look of joy flashed in Shi Guan's eyes, then his face calmed down, and he looked at the note again, "C", then at least two copies of "A" and "B" have been lost, and the defense of Yong Jun is very strict. But it doesn't matter if the note falls into the hands of Yong Jun, this note is just a signal. On the second day, both Lu Yun and Shi Xiu were fully clothed, but there were no accidents that day. Both the Yong army and the Nanchu army were already familiar with each other's tactics, and they knew how to respond almost as soon as the enemy moved. Although the fight was brutal , but nothing new.At sunset, Cui Jue casually threw away the two notes in his hand, and said, "Sure enough, it's nonsense. The Southern Chu Army must be trying to confuse people's hearts. Lu Can has the courage to leave Jingkou now." A gust of wind As it blew, the note flipped in the wind, revealing the gold seal on it. On November 21st, Shi Guan still ordered the soldiers to put on their uniforms, ready to go to battle at any time, and even drew out a group of elite soldiers to let them recharge their batteries. The two sides fought until noon, and the sun moved to the southern sky. This is a rare day The weather is sunny, although the winter weather is a bit cold, but the soldiers above and below the city are sweating heavily, both sides are already at the end of their battles, and they are fighting hard almost entirely with perseverance. The uninterrupted offense and defense for more than ten days is really exhausting Physical strength and will. Cui Jue and Dong Shan glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. Dong Shan said hesitantly, "General Pei and Lu Can are confronting each other in Yangzhou. We should attack Huaixi. This is an established strategy, but the battle in Huaixi is so difficult , it was unexpected.” Cui Jue said: "There is no other way. Anyway, Shouchun has no reinforcements, so we have the upper hand. Forget it, let's attack one more time, and increase our strength while the defenders are tired at noon." Dong Shan nodded, this is a common practice, if the attack fails this time, he will retreat and rest until the end of the day, and then attack until the sunset with all his might. Cui Jue mobilized the three armies and began to attack the city. The exhausted army almost fell to the ground and fell asleep. The exhaustion of the past few days was not only physically, but also mentally. Seeing this situation, Cui Jue moved his lips, and finally There was no order to put those sergeants on alert. The offensive this time seems to be very effective. Shouchun's defense is a bit weak, and there are signs of defeat under the onslaught of the Yong army. Cui and Dong are overjoyed. The death camp is going to give the Shouchun defenders a decisive blow, or they can break through Shouchun today. This is not only the idea of ​​the two generals, but also the soldiers who attacked the city felt the exhaustion of the defenders at the top of the city. attack. At this moment, behind the forest on the hillside a few miles away, a pair of eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he raised his hand lightly, and there were some nervous breathing and the slight panting of the war horse behind him.Then the man waved his hand resolutely, took the lead to go around the gentle slope, circled an arc, and rushed towards the rear of the Yong army. "Kill!" The high-pitched shouts, the deafening sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground, and the rumbling sound of war drums resounded through the sky at the same time. Cui Jue and Dong Shan were startled. Looking sideways, they saw billowing smoke and dust in the distance. The cavalry is attacking, and the number of them cannot be seen for a while, but it is always more than five thousand. Those cavalry are all wearing silver armor, and the armor reflects the bright sunlight, making it almost impossible to open your eyes. How could this be so? Both of them were horrified and inexplicable. Southern Chu was better than a boat division and did not pay much attention to cavalry. As far as they knew, in the entire Southern Chu, except for the 9,000 cavalry in Xiangyang, the 3,000 cavalry in Jiangxia Camp In addition, there is almost no cavalry with sufficient combat power in the whole Southern Chu. Most of these cavalry are the foundation laid by Prince De back then, but where did this cavalry come from?Thousands of thoughts flashed by, and both of them shouted in unison: "Retreat, retreat." But at this time, the silver armored cavalry had rushed into the rear of the Yong army. The Yong army was already exhausted, and when they were caught off guard, the Yong army immediately fell into chaos and collapse. The cavalry charged unscrupulously, cutting the Yong army to pieces like sharp knives. At this moment, Shouchun opened the city gate that had been sealed from the inside. This was originally the expectation of the Yong army, but now it is worse.The general standing on the high horse at the gate of the city is Shi Guan. On the left and right of him, two young generals in white clothes and white armor protect each other, one on the left and the other on the right. Immediately hung the quiver, even the horses of the two were very similar white dragon horses, the visors were all put down, the appearance of the two could not be seen, although the figures were a little different, but it was not obvious under the cover of the battle armor, These two people seem to be a pair of twin brothers. Many Yong Jun who saw it had the idea of ​​"so it is so" for no reason, and the image of the young warrior who was active in Shouchun City these days flashed in his mind. It's just that these Yong troops immediately saw the general pointing forward with his sword, and the five thousand fresh troops in the city rushed into the front of the Yong army.The Shouchun garrison did not have an organized cavalry, except for the hundred or so personal guards around Shi Guan, there were no horses, but their combat power was not weak, and their battles did not hurt the soul of the Yong army. Not weaker than the cavalry charging behind, the birds trapped in the net broke through the net, so the hunter's mood can be imagined. Under the two-sided attack of the Southern Chu army, the 60,000 Yong army was in danger, and the loss of the siege was too great. Cui Jue and Dong Shan looked at each other. Where the eyes met, they had already quarreled countless times. Then Dong Shan clasped his fists, He said loudly: "Follow me." Then he rushed towards the Southern Chu army, Cui Jue's eyes flashed with sadness, and he also said loudly: "Follow me." Then he rushed to the southeast.As the two acted separately, the Xuzhou army subconsciously followed Dong Shanduan, while the Nanyang army followed Cui Jue to break through. The sound of killing in the world was deafening. The two armies of Southern and Chu seemed to be two iron fists, echoing each other and killing the Yong army. After all, the Yong army was an elite soldier in hundreds of battles. Many people were killed and turned to go north.The Southern Chu Army did not pursue, but concentrated on destroying Dong Shan's troops, leaving behind the 17,000 Xuzhou Army and the more than 10,000 Nanyang Army who had not had time to escape. The exhausted soldiers after the battle took the lead again, and the outcome was decided.When the sun was setting, there were only a few thousand remnants left on the battlefield.However, the Southern Chu army fought more and more, and the Huaixi army who had rested in the city also joined the battlefield. The more than 20,000 Huaixi army and the 9,000 cavalry who came to help trapped the Yong army in the formation. Dong Shan felt that the blood was blinding his eyes, so he couldn't help wiping his eyes with the sleeve of his robe, and looked intently. Although the cavalry of the Southern Chu Army were excellent in riding and shooting, and their martial arts skills were excellent, they could still see a trace of unfamiliarity. This was well-trained, but There is no army that has actually been on the battlefield, but it will be different after today. This victory will make them a real hero.The faint groans and low curses of his comrades came from his ears, and Dong Shan's eyes fell on a pair of young generals who were fighting side by side. Just like a flood dragon going out to sea, one of them transformed into pear blossoms, leaving behind them a sea of ​​blood. At this time, a middle-aged general under the banner of the commander-in-chief with the word "stone" erected in the Southern Chu Army said loudly: "Dong Shan, you are already in a dead end, why don't you abandon your weapons and surrender?" Following his shout, the Southern Chu Army The offensive began to slow down, but the encirclement was strengthened. Dong Shan sent an order to ask Yong Jun to move closer to him, and said loudly: "Da Yong man, there is no reason to surrender." 这时，南楚军中一个低级将领高声喝骂道：“董山，你杀了我兄长，陈某正要寻你报仇，你不降最好。” 董山冷冷看了那将领一眼，笑道：“董某在战场上厮杀了十年，杀过的人数不胜数，谁知道你的兄长是哪一个，想要报仇，就拍马过来，何必惺惺作态。” 那将领大怒，但是他没有骑马，自然没有可能向一个骑兵将领冲杀，只恨得眼眦欲裂。 这时候，那从乱军中返回石观身边的两个白袍小将，其中一人掀起面甲，高声道：“董将军，你或许不将自己的生死放在心上，难道不爱惜你的将士，难道你要让麾下将士全部死绝么？你若肯放下兵器，我保证你麾下的将士会得到应有的礼遇，我军绝不会残杀虐待他们。” 董山目光炯炯地望着那个少年，看上去不过十三四岁年纪，却是英气勃勃，好一个少年英雄，他哈哈一笑，道：“若要董某归降，那是不可能的，这样吧，你们若有勇士可以在战场上胜了本将军，本将军在此立誓，不论我是生是死，我麾下将士皆会弃械归降。” 石观的目光和那支骑兵为首的一人交换了一个眼色，他们并不是心慈手软，只是担心这支雍军临死之前的反噬让己方骑兵损失太大，那就不值得了，可是若论单打独斗，又有何人有把握可以胜过这个大雍将领，若是败了，又如何面对同袍和陆大将军。两个人的目光不约而同落在了陆云身上，陆云是陆灿之子，若是他和董山一战，不论胜败都可交待，毕竟他只有十三岁，可是两人又都担心陆云有了什么意外，那可就糟了。 见南楚军迟迟没有回应，董山仰天大笑道：“江南果然没有好汉，竟然没有人敢和我一战。” 他的狂言却惹恼了一人，石绣原本还在担心自己杀昏了头，早就忘记了留在父亲身边的约定，一会儿要被父亲责骂，此刻一见董山的放肆狂妄，她柳眉倒竖，掀起面甲，高声道：“董山，别说江南没有英雄好汉，就是我们这些小孩子，你也未必胜得过，你若有胆量，我和他一起向你挑战，我们两人年纪加起来也大不过你，你可敢应战。” 董山一怔，不过他想起两个少年方才的骁勇，倒是不觉得受到侮辱，心道，他们小小年纪，就上阵杀敌，倒也算是英雄，若是死在这样两个少年英雄手上，倒也不算侮辱，若是杀了他们，更能铲除两个祸根，当真是合算得很。所以他不容石观等人反对，策马冲出雍军军阵，朗声道：“好，我董山接受你们的挑战，报上名来，让本将军知道杀的是谁。” 陆云闻言，心中豪气顿生，早就忘了反对，朗声道：“家父忝居大将军之位，我名陆云，董将军可要记住了。” 石绣却是聪明，女孩子的名字怎可随便让人知道，她虽然不忌讳，若是母亲知道必然恼怒，便扬声道：“家父淮西主将，我名石玉锦，董将军不可忘记。” 董山虽然早已料到这两个少年身份不同寻常，却也想不到一是陆灿之子，一是石观之子（他没有看出石玉锦是个少女），朗声笑道：“好，原来是两位少将军，果然是将门虎子。” 说罢扬槊冲上，陆云和石绣对望一眼，双双策马冲上，石观连忙下令调动弓箭手，一旦董山有可能伤及陆云和石绣，他是无论如何也要放箭救人的。 三马盘旋，两条银枪和一条马槊在尘沙中奋战不休，青黑色的衣甲和白色的衣甲交错混合，这一战并没有像大多数人想得那样一面倒，董山虽然是大雍悍将，可是陆云和石绣也是武艺不弱，再加上两人心有灵犀，配合严密，董山又是筋疲力尽，居然战得平分秋色。 一个回合，十个回合，一百个回合，当战到百合之后，三人都已经人困马乏，董山在马上摇摇欲坠，只是石绣和陆云也好不到哪里去，陆云毕竟是男子，这些日子又服用了江哲所送的丹药，固本培元很有益处，尚能支撑，石绣却是气喘吁吁，已经是汗透衣甲，手中银枪似乎也握不住了。董山见状，奋起余力向石绣攻去，不再避让陆云的银枪，虽然在他来说陆云更有价值，可是自恃力量不足的他，选择了更好下手的石绣。一槊刺去，透甲而入，石绣的银枪脱手，翻身坠马。 陆云只觉肝胆俱裂，一声断喝，悲愤让他全力催枪，银枪化作虹影，向董山背后刺去，但是就在银枪即将着体之时，董山的身躯在马上诡异的扭动，那一枪只是透过了右肋，陆云用力过猛，身躯前倾，董山却是微微一笑，马槊刺向陆云咽喉，全然不将身上的伤势看在眼里。 几乎是顷刻之间，局势突变如此，南楚军一片哗然，石观想要传令放箭，却是身躯僵硬，只是望着爱女向下坠落的身躯，一个字也说不出来，一个动作也做不出来。 眼看董山的马槊将要刺穿陆云的咽喉，董山面上露出欢容，能够在临死之前杀死南楚两位未来的英杰，便是死也值得了，谁知胸前一痛，他缓缓低头，看见胸前透出的银色枪尖。马槊锋利的尖锋即将临喉，陆云濒死的一刻，眼前突然闪现出石绣怒目圆睁，银牙紧咬的俊秀容颜，几乎是疑在梦中，可是透过董山胸口的银枪，和减缓的马槊刺击速度让他立刻醒悟过来，一个蹬里藏身，翻身落马，银枪收而再吐，这一枪刺中了董山小腹。受了致命的三枪，董山眼中的生命光芒终于消散，他留恋地望了一眼北方的天空，身躯从马上滑落。 陆云听不见耳边传来的南楚军震耳欲聋的欢呼声，也听不见雍军痛彻心肺的悲呼声，他翻身上马，怔怔望着对面的石绣，两人隔着失去主人的空鞍战马痴痴相望。 方才董山一槊刺中石绣的之前的瞬间，石绣便清醒过来，她心中灵光电闪，便徉做中槊坠马，其实那一槊只是留下了一道不深的伤痕，只是董山已经疲倦不堪，手感麻木，完全没有察觉那一槊根本没有击实。当他回身反噬一击的时候，石绣已经翻身而起，崩飞的银枪正如她预计的一般落入手中，她拼尽全力一击，刺出了致命的一枪，才让董山手中力道减弱，陆云得以死里逃生。 耳边欢呼声依旧，两人眼神渐渐恢复了生机，都已经感觉到生命重新回到自己身上，想起方才的生死一线，两人都是不由打了一个冷颤，策马转身向石观走去，两人的目光始终不曾分离，生恐眼前见到的只是虚幻，对方早已死在董山之手。 这时候石观已经清醒过来，悄悄抹去眼中的泪水，他策马迎上，两手各自抓着两小一臂，高声呼道：“天佑南楚，赐我少年英杰。”南楚军高呼道：“天佑南楚，赐我少年英杰。陆云、石玉锦，陆云、石玉锦！”呼声连绵不绝，震撼人心。在南楚军的欢呼声中，一个雍军军士黯然丢下手中兵刃，其他的雍军将士似乎是受到了感染，兵器坠落的声音络绎不绝。
