Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 420 Conquering Jiangxia
Xia Wuyue, outside Shiyang City, there was a lot of people's voices, nearby people gathered outside the city to set up stalls, Wei soldiers stood guard outside, and were heavily guarded.

More than a dozen Wu cavalry flashed out from the woods, holding bows and crossbows towards several Wei soldiers standing guard outside the market, pulled the trigger, and the crossbows roared out.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sound of piercing through the air, and the Wei soldier who was standing guard outside the market fell down in response to a stroke.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of cavalry and more Wu cavalry emerged from several forests, galloping their horses, their hooves fell to the ground, and the sound of hoofs roared, like thunderbolts, the sound was terrifying, causing the ground to tremble and shake, dust Feiyang rushed towards the gate of the city as if the water of the Yangtze River was angry.

The drowsy and sluggish soldiers of the Wei army in Shiyang City were refreshed when they heard the prestige, and they hurriedly sounded the alarm bell, and shouted hoarsely: "Enemy attack!"

At this time, not only the soldiers of the Wei army on the city wall felt the attacking Wu army, but also the common people who gathered outside the city also discovered the Wu army.The originally noisy street became even more noisy, and thousands of people rushed towards the Shiyang City Gate regardless of their belongings.

In an instant, the iron cavalry of Wu Jun and Ma Xianjun rushed to the market under the leadership of generals Zhou Jun and Zhang Liang, and their way was blocked by the people of Jiangxia County.

The front part of Ma Xianjun's charge was at a loss, Zhang Liang slowed down his horse and scolded: "Chong, anyone who stands in the way will be shot and killed, stepping out a path of blood."

Ma Xianjun's cavalry hesitated a little and said: "General, common people, killing them is against morality."

Zhang Liang sneered, and scolded: "Women's benevolence! The general has issued an order that if the common people obstruct him, just kill them. Let me go, if you can't take the city, deal with it according to military law."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liang took advantage of the speed of the horse with a knife to kill an old man with a knife, blood splashed on his face, and said angrily: "Those who block are killed!"

Seeing the general's actions like this, Ma Xianjun naturally had no scruples, and drew out his butcher's knives one after another to attack the Jiangxia people who blocked the way forward.

Thousands of people ran in panic, weeping, helpless.No one can stop these Wu Jun knights.There was chaos outside the city, with fighting and screams everywhere.

The guards of the Wei people had bulging veins in their hands and their faces were flushed. They pushed hard on the solid wooden city gate, but they couldn't close at all in the face of the continuous influx of Jiangxia people.

Seeing this, Captain Wei held a spear in his hand and said loudly, "Everyone in the city will be killed, and the city gate must be closed."

As he said that, Captain Wei raised his spear and stabbed at the woman who was trying to enter the city while everyone was watching.The woman groaned in pain, blood flowed from her chest, her hands were still holding on to the city gate tightly, trying to send the child behind her into the city.

At this moment, Gongcao Zhao Zhuo came wearing a leather armor and led more than a dozen people. Just when everyone thought they were coming to help, under the inconceivable eyes of everyone, he drew out his long sword with a clang, and a sword came from behind. He stabbed the Colonel Wei to death, and shouted: "Li Ji is brutally ravaging the people, quickly open the city gate and let the people of Jiangxia come in."

At the same time, more than a dozen of Zhao Zhuo's subordinates skillfully chopped down the soldiers of the Wei army who were pushing the city gate, and fought with the soldiers of the Wei army who swarmed in.

In an instant, the city gate lost its thrust, and was forcefully pushed into the city by the Jiangxia people outside the city. Behind them, Wu Jun cavalry rushed into the city. What to do.

Zhang Liang was covered in blood, and with a ferocious face, he rode into the city on a war horse, holding a blood-dripping ring-sword, and shouted, "Where is Zhao Zhuo?"

Zhao Zhuo's eyelids jumped when he looked at the general of the Wu army who was covered in the blood of the people in Jiangxia. He never thought that the Wu people he cooperated with were such cruel people who tortured the people of Jiangxia to death without any sense of benevolence.

But after thinking about it, I felt that I was a little funny. Human life is valuable in troubled times. Didn't I betray the country for money and official position?

Zhao Zhuo restrained his emotions, cupped his hands, and said, "Here is Zhuo!"

Zhang Liang took out a handkerchief from his belt and wiped the blood on his face, and asked very politely, "I've seen Zhao Junhou, may I ask where Wen Xiu is?"

Junhou is a special name for a person who has been named a lieutenant. Zhang Liang's implication is to tell Zhao Zhuo that you have now been named a marquis by my country of Wu. Please tell me where Wenxiu is?
Zhao Zhuo sighed in his heart, and was about to tell Zhang Liang where Wen Xiu was, but unexpectedly, a roar interrupted his thoughts.

"Zhao Zhuo dog thief, when did my Wen family become inferior to you, and you actually betrayed the master and begged for glory, surrendering to Wu dog. Hugh will kill you today to vent the hatred in my heart!"

I saw Wenxiu dressed in armor, leading hundreds of people, rushing to the city gate from other directions, standing in the distance and cursing.

Zhao Zhuo lowered his eyelids and didn't dare to look directly at Wenxiu. He said to Zhang Liang, "This man is Wenxiu. If the general captures him, he can take Shiyang City if he retreats, and occupy all the cities in Jiangxia if he advances. General But it's the first achievement!"

Zhang Liang listened to his words, his heart moved, and he said to Zhao Zhuo: "Thank you, Zhao Junhou, and lead the people to seize the arsenal in the city, and Wen Xiuyou will deal with General Zhou."

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of cavalrymen from the Maxian army followed Zhao Zhuo. Zhao Zhuo was also willing to seize the arsenal so as not to fight Wen Xiu.

Zhang Liang urges the war horse under his crotch, starts to speed up slowly, holds the bow in his hand and throws the arrow, while the cavalry of the Maxian Army behind him follow Zhang Liang and raise their spears obliquely, their hooves stepping on the bluestone slabs, roaring rattle.

Under the command of Wen Xiu, the trilogy quickly formed a circular formation, with the spear holders outside and the crossbow holders inside, like hedgehogs.These parts are Wenpin's many years of fighting, and the team formed can be described as brave warriors.Facing the oncoming cavalry, although his face was pale, he was not afraid.

Just when the two armies were about to collide, Ma Xian's army suddenly split into two columns and rode around Wenxiu's trilogy across the range of the bow and arrow.Approaching suddenly again, with the help of the horse's impact speed, they shot violently at several weak points, and the infantry standing still retreated without being injured.

The crossbowmen in the Wei army also shot arrows without hesitation, and the rain of arrows fell on the cavalry.However, Ma Xianjun withdrew quickly, extremely skilled and decisive.

Seeing this, Wen Xiu in the formation let out a long breath. He knew that he would surely die today, and this cavalryman from Wu was definitely the best of the best.

Wen Xiu let out a wry laugh. The details of his adoptive father, Professor Wenpin, facing this formation came to mind little by little. Next, the Wu people will continue to attack this point until the infantry there retreat.Then the rushing cavalry took the opportunity to rush into the circular formation from the weak point, thus cutting the circular formation.

Sure enough, Ma Xianjun defeated Wenxiu's troops with the steps of riding and shooting + charging into the formation, and his troops scattered and fled in all directions. In the end, they were defeated and defeated, and Wenxiu also died in battle in the city.

Zhou Jun opened his mouth wide and looked at Ma Xianjun's performance with an unbelievable expression. He had no idea when Wu had such an elite cavalry.I thought Ma Xianjun was just an ordinary cavalry under Supreme's command, but I didn't expect it to be so elite.

"Brother Zhang, when did my Great Wu have such elite cavalry?"

Zhang Liang smiled faintly, looked to the northwest, I don't know whether he was looking at Sun Quan or Qin Liang, and said: "A few years ago, the Supreme and the Han reached an agreement, not only to buy a large number of war horses, but also to ask the Han professor to form a cavalry. The Han Niu Chong went to Jiangdong. , to teach me the real cavalry method to Da Wu."

As he said that, Zhang Liang said with emotion, "To build up this army of horses and horses, the Supreme will spend trillions of dollars. Armors, cavalry, horses, and bows and arrows are all the top of the upper class, and they may be comparable to the tiger and leopard cavalry against Wei Wei."

……

Wenxiu died in battle, Jiangxia County was conquered by Wu soldiers, Lu Xun led his troops to conquer Xinshi and Anlu, and Yiyang Bei led Pei Sheng to surrender.

In order for Zhuge Jin to make military exploits, Sun Quan appointed Zhuge Jin to lead an army of [-] people to attack Strider County in the northwest of Jiangxia County. Strider County is located between Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain, and you can reach Yuzhou if you go northwest, so Sun Quan also let Zhuge Jin resist Send reinforcements from Yuzhou.

In May, Wu general Zhang Liang conquered Shiyang City, Zhuge Jin led the army to attack Strider County, and Jiang Xia was pacified.
