Overlord!

Chapter 153 Zhang Wenyuan, General of Gods and Ghosts!
It was on the bank of the north bank of the Huaihe River, next to the blazing battlefield.

Xu Sheng looked at the burning tank boat and the large amount of grain burned on the shore, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, this thousands of stones of grain and grass have been paid for like this. If it can be given to the people, at least a hundred refugees can be saved."

More than a thousand stones of grain and grass are not much to say, that is, in the peaceful and prosperous times, the salary of a county magistrate for one year is only enough for the county magistrate's wife and daughter, as well as the recruited staff, retainers, etc., for a rich family to spend for a year.

And in this troubled world, this is the rations for thousands of soldiers for a month!

Now a fire is burned out, which means that a lot of wealth has disappeared directly in the war, and it also means that a large number of people must die as a result.

Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Sheng in surprise, and asked, "I didn't expect Xu Sima to have such a heart of compassion?"

Xu Sheng replied frankly: "I didn't have it at first. But after following Marquis Wu for a long time, I've been fascinated by it, so it's inevitable that I will think of it inadvertently."

Zhang Fei also read a few books and said: "This should be what the sages said. Living with good people is like entering a house of orchids. If you don't smell its fragrance for a long time, you will be transformed with it. Wu Hou's heroic spirit, who wants to save the time and help the same kind, will naturally affect his subjects. Otherwise, Xu Sima would not take the initiative to invite Ying to fight across the river with me."

Xu Sheng was noncommittal.He did take the initiative to ask for Ying, but the key is because of Wu Hou's attitude.

Wu Hou said that Yide should not be allowed to stand alone in the north and take risks.Since there is a covenant, the two sides should share weal and woe, and repair my armor and walk with you.Let's go to the national calamity together.

Marquis Wu wanted to send good generals to accompany Zhang Fei, so Xu Sheng volunteered to be the vanguard lieutenant general to attack Zhang Liao together with Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was quite touched by this, no matter what, Wu Hou treated him with sincerity and sincerity.

Xu Sheng said with emotion: "The troubled times should be brought to an end by Marquis Wu, and then money, food and grain can be saved from the troubled times to solve the hunger of the people's livelihood and make the world more and more prosperous."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but wanted to fight with him, and asked, "Why isn't my lord sweeping the world down?"

"Liu Xuzhou?" Xu Sheng sneered: "Liu Xuzhou doesn't even have a county now, how can we talk about leveling the world? What's more, Liu Xuzhou can't win the hearts of the people when he governs Xuzhou, how can he make the world rich?"

Seeing Xu Sheng despise his lord so much, Zhang Fei was furious.Neither of them were very good-natured.

Zhang Fei is someone who can quarrel with anyone.In addition to admiring gentlemen and celebrities, he is extremely violent and impulsive.

Xu Sheng wasn't much better either. He was a minister of Jiangdong, heroic and brave, and had quarreled with generals like Jiang Qin.

This disagreement and mutual grievances are nothing more than normal.

It's just that Zhang Fei has a violent temper, and he has been puffing out his nose for a long time, but he can't refute Xu Sheng confidently.

After all, the situation is stronger than people, and he has to admit that the current reality is that Jiangdong under Wuhou's governance is indeed thriving, and it seems that it will become a land of abundance in the south of the Yangtze River.

As for the people's support, the powerful enemy sneak attack.Xuzhou has Lu Bu and Zang Ba, and Jiangdong also has Shanyue with tens of thousands of people!
Zhang Fei also has to admit that in terms of internal politics, his lord is indeed not as high-spirited as Marquis Wu.Xuzhou does not have as many decrees and laws with clear strategic intentions as Jiangdong.

In particular, the three chapters of the agreement between Marquis Wu and the Jiangdong family are really like the ancestors.It is the foundation of the empire.

It’s just that Zhang Fei is a character who refuses to admit defeat, and immediately shouted: “That’s because I have met Wu Hou, but you have never met my lord, so you don’t know my lord’s ambition. My lord has the ambition to help the Han Dynasty. He is a hero in the world and will achieve great things.”

Xu Sheng was at a loss: "What is the connection between these? If you have the ambition to help the Han Dynasty, you will surely achieve great things? I also have the ambition to level the world, and I can also become a famous general in the world? But now I don't understand why Marquis Wu asked us to attack Zhang Liao's camp. Instead of going north, we marched all the way west for nearly a hundred miles?"

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Only those who have real talent and hard work are worthy of great ambition and integrity! My lord has outstanding majesty and a strategy of dominance, so he will surely achieve great things. As for you, you only need to follow me and learn how to fight!"

Xu Sheng shouted angrily: "You mean I'm brave and foolish?"

Zhang Fei is violent and ungrateful, it is by no means a false evaluation.

He said unceremoniously and contemptuously: "In my opinion, in Huaiyin, none of your Jiangdong generals can be called a peerless famous general except Wuhou."

Xu Sheng did not show any weakness, and immediately taunted: "We are not good generals, but we are invincible and invincible. We started from Huainan and fought against Jiangdong, Nanping, Shanyue, and North Huaiyou. We have not lost a single defeat. The heroes of the world under Liu Xuzhou, Gaotang was defeated by Huangjin, Qingzhou was defeated by Yuan Tan, Xuzhou was defeated by Cao Cao, and Huainan was defeated by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. I think this hero's name is just a waste of fame!"

"Let me tell you, are you afraid of Zhang Liao, so you didn't dare go north to attack Zhang Liao's camp, ran to the bank of the Huai River, burned some food and grass, and dealt with the matter? If you dare not attack Zhang Liao, hand over the troops to me, and I will compete with Zhang Liao!"

Zhang Fei shouted violently, if it wasn't for Wu Hou's subordinates, he would have beaten him to death with a whip.

Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "What do you know? This is called attacking and saving! Lu Bu's army has no food, and the loss of thousands of stones of food and grass is simply unbearable! Zhang Liao will no longer be able to hold the camp firmly, and will come in a hurry to fight with us."

"Xu Sima wants to compete with Zhang Liao? Well, I will hand over most of the soldiers to Commander Xu Sima, and Xu Sima will lead the army to fight against Zhang Liao. I will lead five hundred cavalry in ambush in the forest. When Zhang Liao arrives with light troops to challenge, Xu Sima will fight with him. Once the correct soldiers are united, I will lead the ambush soldiers to attack them. If they advance together on foot and cavalry, they will be defeated. How about it?"

With just fit, with strange victory.This is the law of war.

Zhang Fei can think of such an arrangement, which is already regarded as the use of military art, and he has focused on it.

After all, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu in Yanzhou, and Li Shimin defeated Goguryeo in Anshicheng, and they used nothing more than this kind of means of coincidence and victory.

The key to this kind of military deployment is that the troops are united, the opponent has no reserve troops, and then the surprise soldiers of one's own side launch a fierce attack, and then advance on foot and cavalry, so that the opponent can only passively defend.

Xu Sheng had also taken lessons in the art of war in the army. Of course, he knew this kind of method that was suitable for a surprise victory.

The key lies in whether a small number of our own troops, or our own non-elite troops, can block the full-scale onslaught of the elite main force led by Guan Xixiao general Zhang Liao.

If the regular soldiers can't stop them, then the odd soldiers won't be of any use. Instead, they will be defeated separately by the opponent.

As for blocking Zhang Liao, Xu Sheng was full of confidence.After all, he served as the vanguard lieutenant this time, and he also led his troops. He has [-] Beifu troops who he has trained for a long time under his command!

These [-] soldiers were all brave recruits from among the refugees, and they had been trained for nearly a year. As professional warriors, they only trained how to fight on the battlefield.

Commanding such an elite army, Xu Sheng was naturally full of confidence. He couldn't think of how the soldiers under Zhang Liao could defeat the Beifu army he was commanding.

So Xu Sheng immediately said: "Then let me meet Zhang Liao for a while. Zhang Zhonglang, don't come too late!"

"Xu Sima is already afraid? Don't worry, I will definitely send troops in time to prevent you from being beaten by Zhang Liao." Zhang Fei laughed contemptuously.

Xu Sheng didn't care at all, and taunted: "I was afraid that you came too late, and Zhang Liao was defeated by me alone. You have no chance to share a share of military merit! Hahahaha!"

Both of them had violent tempers, and the conversation broke up unhappy, and they both left with anger.

When Zhang Fei left, Xu Sheng turned around and yelled at all the soldiers: "Stick up, I will defeat Zhang Liao today, and let the world see my bravery in the world of Jiangdong!"

"Roar!" The soldiers suddenly roared in unison, and their morale was high.

In the past, people in the Central Plains thought that Jiangdong's army could only show its power in the mountains and barbarians. Today, let the Central Plains people experience it. When they compete in the Central Plains, the Jiangdong army is also invincible and crushing!
In this battle, both sides are fighting for victory, and both have the intention of defeating the enemy.

The war inevitably goes to the wild.

When Zhang Liao led more than a thousand people to the bank of the Huaihe River, they saw burning grain and grass and sinking tank boats.

As Zhang Fei said, the loss of thousands of shi of grain was an almost unbearable burden for Lu Bu's forces.

This is enough food for a thousand soldiers for a month, and it is the most important provision for Zhang Liao's troops.

Now that the grain and grass were being burned, Zhang Liao was so angry that he couldn't help himself, and shouted: "Second and third sons, follow me to defeat the enemy army and kill all the attackers, so as to vent my anger!"

The whereabouts of Zhang Liao's troops were soon discovered by Xu Sheng, and without any fear, Xu Sheng immediately moved forward to fight with him.

Seeing that Xu Sheng's troops were all disciples, Zhang Liao's lieutenant general Hou Cheng was overjoyed and said, "The enemy's iron cavalry has not yet arrived, and this is the best opportunity for us to defeat the enemy's soldiers and break their momentum! We should fight with all our strength to wipe out the entire army and strengthen the enemy's spirit."

Zhang Liao held a long halberd in his hand, and his face was stern. At this moment, he could only win the battle with his fury.

He walked up to the front of the formation, raised his halberd and roared loudly: "Soldiers, this is the so-called one and one, the brave get the front ear. Follow me first to trap Chen, go straight forward and attack, and defeat the enemy!"

Standing in front of the formation with a spear in his hand, Xu Sheng also roared: "March with drums, kill every enemy who looks sideways at our army flag, and cut off the head of every one who has not kneeled and surrendered!"

Compete in the Central Plains!

It is the two armies with the strongest combat power in the world. The frontal collision is the frontal confrontation of fierce warriors.

Zhang Liao, as a brave general of the three armies, was courageous and took the lead. He led the most elite soldiers of his subordinates to directly attack Xu Sheng's central army.

He yelled: "Soldiers, make contributions, that is now! Master of tigers and wolves, grind your teeth and suck blood! Follow me, Zhang Wenyuan, to charge and kill the enemy!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The densely packed soldiers raised their spears high, and the sharp blades reflected the coldest light of the sword, rushing towards the Beifu army like a tide.

The soldiers of the Beifu Army were also not to be outdone, they formed a formation and marched forward. The dense formation was like a forest of spears, blocking the wall and advancing.

The moment the soldiers met, blood was splashed all over the front line, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.Killing red-eyed soldiers frantically thrust their spears at the opponent.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the killing was inextricably linked at once.

The soldiers of the Beifu army are well-trained, and the soldiers of the Bingzhou army have been on the battlefield for a long time. The battle between the two sides is completely brave and heroic.

And on the battlefield, Zhang Liao is undoubtedly the most powerful soldier.

At the moment of hand-to-hand combat, five well-trained Beifu soldiers surrounded Zhang Liao.

But Zhang Liao swung his halberd upwards, and with just one halberd, he cut off the left leg of the Beifu soldier in front of him. The huge force made the Beifu soldier lose his balance and fell backwards.The next moment, the raised halberd fell down, directly cutting off his neck.

The blood splattered aroused the fiercest blood and fighting spirit of the Beifu soldiers, and the other four men did not retreat but advanced, holding their spears and stabbing at Zhang Liao!

When locked by several spears, Zhang Liao showed his inhuman force!

When the halberd in his hand deflected, he separated the spear that was stabbing him to the left, and the next moment he pulled the halberd, the opponent's throat was cut directly, and blood spattered out.

At this time, there was a spear stabbing at Zhang Liao's waist, Zhang Liao turned sideways immediately, the thrusting spear slashed against the armor, but missed, but Zhang Liao's offensive was extremely fast, he swung his halberd with both hands from behind and swung it down from behind.

Facing the last spear, Zhang Liao didn't retreat, instead he rushed forward in one breath, blocking the spear with his long halberd and pressing down on the opponent.

Even the Beifu soldiers who were trained in the end were horrified by this huge force. They immediately raised their arms and tried to hold the halberd.

But things didn't go as the Beifu soldier wanted. The next moment the Beifu soldier was caught off guard, he felt his right leg was kicked hard. A huge force made his whole body unbalanced, and he fell on his back.

"Wan Sheng!"

The bravery of his own general greatly boosted the morale of the Bingzhou soldiers.

Almost in the blink of an eye, several Jiangdong soldiers who rushed over were all beheaded by their master without any injuries!

The impact of the Jiangdong army was directly repelled by brute force.

At this time, there was an extremely shocking scene on the battlefield. It was obvious that the Beifu army was very brave and good at fighting, and was attacking with all its strength, but the battle line was pushed back step by step into the depths of the Beifu army's formation. .

Zhang Liao personally led the soldiers to attack at the forefront, hacking and killing the Chinese army all the way, and fighting ahead.Behind him is a blood-stained battlefield, full of corpses and broken limbs everywhere.

Zhang Liao really lived up to the expectations of the three armies, and achieved an invincible victory.

He fought desperately for two hours, beheading nearly a hundred people from noon to dusk.

What is the concept of beheading nearly a hundred people!
That is to say, nearly one-tenth of Jiangdong's army was killed by him alone!

He alone caused nearly one-tenth of the death rate for the Jiangdong army.

But for an army with cold weapons, the limit of casualties it can withstand is only 20.00% to 30.00%.

So much so that at this moment, the entire army of the Beifu army, looking at Zhang Liao who was fighting bloody battle, was terrified, like watching a ghost!
