Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 12 Lu Xun's Probe

In the early morning, clouds and mist filled the river,

It seems that the Han army camp on the other side of the river can still be vaguely seen.In front of the Soochow camp, Lu Xun, who was nearly forty years old, bid farewell to Zhu Ran. The friendship between the two had already been formed in the early years of Sun Quan's founding.Lu Xun is modest, but very assertive in his actions. Even though Zhu Rannian is forty and one year older than Lu Xun, Zhu Ran calls Lu Xun his brother.

Lu Xun pulled the cloak on Zhu Ran's shoulder with his hand, patted Zhu Ran's shoulder and said, "Yifeng (Zhu Ran's character), this trial must be attacked hard, but when it's almost time, withdraw immediately. Be careful in everything." , This is a temptation, not a general attack, don't get on top."

Facing Dajiang, Zhu Ran said boldly: "Haha, brother Boyan is worry-free, what is Shu dog afraid of!"

Zhu Ran waved back, and the elite trilogy slowly crossed the river in a boat.

After crossing the river, Soochow ships lined up along the river.

Zhu Ran ordered the trilogy to raise the "Zhu" tooth flag, and two thousand infantry moved in three columns to the Fukuang camp. There were a few horsemen around.

Fukuang received the military report, and Zhu Ran approached the camp with an army of [-]. Fukuang was overjoyed and ordered the surrounding camps to raise [-] troops to meet the enemy.

Auxiliary Kuang gathered the soldiers, and Sanqian also approached Zhu Ran's troops in three columns.

The two divisions were five li apart, and Zhu Ran changed into an array of geese, aiming at both offense and defense.

The three auxiliary Kuang columns took the first column as the front, and the rear two columns slowly changed into a cone formation, trying to use superior forces to penetrate the central army from the middle, and the two wings surrounded and separated the enemy.
-
The elite soldiers in the front row of the Han army were already holding bows and crossbows, moving forward slowly.

Ji Xi is in the fourth row. Although he has just joined the army, he is not nervous. The sturdy sleeve armor on his body has given him a lot of confidence. The experience of shooting and hunting in the middle of Shu when he was young made him an excellent player in Qu Nei. Famous sharpshooter.

Ji Xi turned his head and whispered to the people in the same column: "Send the message, let the brothers who are in the front row for the first time not be nervous, watch me try to shoot first, and then shoot after I shoot the second arrow, and then shoot when the arrow is aimed."

Ji Xi took a deep breath and walked forward slowly. Ji Xi's eyesight was very good and he saw about 150 steps. Withdrew, and at the same time the second row of crossbowmen volleyed forward, repeating the same.

Ji Xi couldn't see the casualties of the Wu army, but he saw that there were not a few people in the middle crossbow on his side, and he pretended not to hear the wailing of the soldiers in the middle crossbow. Suddenly he heard General Fu Kuang holding up his head in the formation and shouting: "The fugitives will be killed!"

Immediately afterwards, the head of the village shouted: "The first row comes forward and raises the bow." Ji Xi heard the order, as the test shooter in the village, he must test the shooting range first.

Looking at the number of steps ahead, Ji Xi raised his bow and shot towards the front row of the Wu army. After landing more than ten steps ahead, Ji Xi held the bow and pinched the arrow to aim at the throat of the enemy in the front row and shouted: "Let go!"

After shooting, Ji Xi closed his eyes, only to hear the soldiers around him screaming from the arrows, Ji Xi suddenly felt a slight pain in his chest, Ji Xi looked down and luckily, it turned out that a long arrow hit the middle of the iron plate, and the iron plate was dented, and the arrow The arrow has fallen to the ground.

Ji Xi didn't dare to think about continuing to walk forward, and raised his bow to shoot again, but when he looked up, he found that the archers of the Wu army had been shot to death. The eyes were getting bigger and bigger, Ji Xi took a deep breath and took aim, then shot the second arrow, Wu Bu stroked his throat and fell to the ground dead.

With the sound of the bull horn, Ji Xi only felt his shoulders being constantly bumped, and the heavily armored soldiers behind him kept rushing to the front of the enemy line. Ji Xi was glad that he was still alive and not injured.

The chief hurriedly checked the team's casualties and lost, the injured returned to the camp for treatment, and those who were unharmed rested in place.

Ji Xi checked the surrounding brothers, not many died from the arrows, most of them were injured, he didn't know what the situation was, Ji Xi took the opportunity to eat a mouthful of chestnut rice, and soon, the head of the village informed the remaining people to fight with swords.

Ji Xi followed the head of the village and didn't know where to go to the right. He only knew that the head of the village said it was the enemy's flank.

Ji Xi saw that the soldiers of his own army were already fighting with the local soldiers. Ji Xi took a deep breath and didn't think much about it. He just wanted to kill more people and ask His Majesty to reward him with more land.

"Come on!" the head of the village shouted to Ji Xi and the others who had completed their formation
Ji Xi bit the bullet and rushed forward, Ji Xi rushed into the melee, holding a ring knife in his hand, and chopped with the man with unknown facial patterns. His own strength was strong, and he used his strength to break the move. After a while, the enemy's strength was exhausted, and his arm was cut off by Ji Xihuan's first knife, and the blood was splashed all over his face. .

Ji Xi beat the enemy back to his senses, only to hear the head of the village shout: "Wu's army is defeated, pursue!"

Ji Xi didn't chase after him either, feeling his face was sticky, touched his face and his hands were covered with blood, he was stunned for a while, he didn't care to cut off the right ear of the chopped-off man, and put it in his waist.

Among the large army, Zhu Ran saw the two armies meeting each other, and plotted the strength of the Shu army in his heart. The two armies held each other for a while, and after finding out the details of the Han army, he ordered the Wu army to retreat.

Fu Kuang saw the whip coming forward and said with a smile to the lieutenant: "Lu Xun doesn't know how to fight, so he sent two thousand elite soldiers to us for nothing, and ordered the whole army to pursue them. Your Majesty has been sad recently, so you can report this happy event to Your Majesty."

As an enemy general, Zhu Ran ordered his soldiers to fight and retreat.Seeing Zhu Ran's defeat, Wu Jun's navy on the boat by the river disembarked to meet him.

Seeing this, Fu Kuang did not pursue and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
-
In the camp of the Wu army in the north of the Jiangxi, Lu Xun personally greeted Zhu Ran by the riverside and asked, "How is the strength of the Shu army?"

Zhu Ran took off his pocket, turned his neck and said: "As you expected, the Shu army camped in the middle of the forest and did not withdraw. Today, the auxiliary Kuang sent 3000 people, and they are elite."

Lu Xun squatted on the ground and drew a picture with his hands on the ground: "You are attacking the middle of the forest from Zhuoxiang to Yidao today. Liu Bei lured the enemy on Yidao a few days ago. Sure enough, the deployment of the Shu army has not changed. Zhuoxiang to Yidao There are camps under the road forest, and they are the main force."

Zhu Ran squatted down to look at the picture and asked curiously, "And then, Boyan."

Lu Xun got up and clapped his hands and said: "Yifeng worked hard today, let the soldiers rest early! I have a plan, and the complete annihilation of Liu Bei is just a few days away, and I will let you make great achievements at that time."

Zhu Ran said in a strict voice: "Bo Yan, don't bully me. The loss of more than a thousand trilogy will hurt my family Zhu. I need to let the family of Buqu get rewards."

Lu Xun smiled lightly: "Don't bully." Lu Xun raised his hand and signaled a high five as an oath.

Zhu Ran raised his hand and put down Lu Xun's raised hand and said with a smile: "We have been friends for many years, I believe in you; you are the governor and commander, I believe in you. I, the Zhu family, share weal and woe with the king, and An will be so fussy."

The two looked at each other and smiled!
Han Dang sneered at Bu Qu when he heard the news: "Lu Xun is a Confucian scholar, and An Neng led the army to fight, so Zhu Ran and him are close friends, so he can let Bu Qu go to death like this, but Zhu Ran's subordinates must be unhappy. It's a pity that the soldiers were injured in vain."
