Chapter 403: Meet Xu Rong, I Have a Friend!
Zhang Liao, who was covered in blood, led 800 cavalry to break through the dragnet set by Cao Ren. Although only 800 men successfully broke through, it was enough for Zhang Liao. The 800 cavalry could survive even if they encountered a team of 4,000 men. Triggering Zhang Liao's commanding skill and bloody battle, Zhang Liao once had the feat of destroying Zhou Yu with a thousand cavalry, but now with eight hundred cavalry, the gap is not big.
The reason why Zhang Liao was able to break through Cao Ren's defense is not that Zhang Liao's ability to lead troops and force are stronger than Zhang Fei's, but that Zhang Liao's commanding skills were created for this kind of deadly battle. After all, commanding skills are called deadly battles. .
And in some cases, there are some advantages to having a small number of people. It is not easy to disperse. Even if there are 100,000 people surrounding them on the opposite side, there are only a few thousand people who can fight them head-on. In addition, Gu Rubingwu is Due to the characteristics of destiny, they have no physical consumption at all, and they have five times the bonus of Zhang Liao's commanding skills. These soldiers can easily challenge some third-rate generals or special units.
Therefore, he was able to lead these 800 cavalry to fight through the siege and successfully reach the border of Jingzhou. At the same time, after Zhang Liao broke through the defense line, Zhang Liao's lieutenant immediately filled Zhang Liao's vacancy with 10,000 infantry, leaving Cao Ren without a chance. Find a way to leave the battlefield and go to support other places.
Link after link, it can be said that there is no leakage.
Cao Ren and Wenpin, with a total of 50,000 troops, were killed by Zhang Liao with 10,000 cavalry. More than 30,000 of them were killed, and most of the killed were monks. Wenpin was hit in the shoulder by Zhang Liao with a knife, and blood poured out. Note, but Zhang Liao was not feeling well either. There were bloody wounds all over his body, and he was injured both in front and behind.
Zhang Liao didn't stop for a moment and headed towards Jingzhou. However, not long after he walked out, Zhang Liao encountered a cavalry team of ten thousand people. In an instant, Zhang Liao and the eight hundred cavalry behind him clenched their spears and entered. They entered the fighting state, and after they could vaguely see the opponent's flag, they breathed a sigh of relief and put down the spears in their hands.
Among the thousands of horses, three quickly ran out and came to Zhang Liao and the others.
"Wenyuan, why are you here?"
The visitor was none other than Xu Rong, who came from Youzhou to support him. He was about to attack Cao Ren from behind, allowing Zhang Liao and Meng Hetang to break through the defense line. However, he did not expect that he would encounter Zhang Liao before he arrived. , and at the same time, I was also a little shocked, because Xuzhou is a place with the greatest disparity in military strength, 20,000 versus 50,000, and there are 10,000 infantry among the 20,000 who cannot join the battle, that is, 10,000 versus 50,000.
This was also the reason why he was asked to support Zhang Liao, because the troops here were the weakest, but he never expected that Zhang Liao could penetrate Cao Ren's defense line alone.
"Xuan Tu, why is it you?"
Zhang Liao was also puzzled, and a little shocked at the same time, because the cavalry behind Xu Rong didn't seem to have any traces of fighting. So how did they get here through the defense line?
"Prime Minister Zhuge asked me to come. He said that Yunchang had broken through Dianwei's defense line and asked me to enter Yangzhou from there, and then make a detour here to help you raid Cao Ren."
"Cao Ren, it's just a silver pewter spearhead."
Zhang Liao smiled disdainfully.
"Brother Xuan Tu, now my deputy general is leading 10,000 infantry. Facing the attack of Cao Ren's remaining 20,000 troops, I would like to ask Brother Xuan Tu to help him."
"Okay, without further ado, let's set off now."
Hearing that Cao Ren still had 20,000 people, Xu Rong was slightly shocked again. Only 20,000 of Cao Ren's 50,000 people were killed. This is a bit too outrageous, but Xu Rong still worked hard. Pretending to be calm, Zhang Liao immediately shook his head.
"No, Brother Xuantu, you can only go by yourself. I have other tasks that I need to do."
"Where are you going to support?"
Xu Rong asked doubtfully, and Zhang Liao pointed in the direction of Yuzhang County.
"First go and see what's going on with the lord. If he doesn't get out of trouble, I will help him. If he gets out of trouble successfully and I meet him, then I will fight with him. If he doesn't, then I will We can only go to Jiangxia County.”
Zhang Liao expressed his thoughts. During the days when he was fighting with Cao Renwenpin, he did not get any information about Gu Rubing, so after breaking out, he immediately thought of helping Gu Rubing and Xu Rong. He patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder.
"My lord has escaped from trouble and is probably fighting Shi Xie in Cangwu County now."
Xu Rong told Zhang Liao all the information he knew. This was what Zhuge Liang told him after he sent out troops. He also told him that if he met any general on the road, he should synchronize the information and Zhang Liao would listen. nodded.
"Well, since the master is fine, I will go directly to Jiangxia County and have a fight with Jiangdong's son."
"Okay, just do what you have to do, and leave the rest to me."
Xu Rong patted his chest and agreed. Zhang Liao nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and asked.
"Does the Prime Minister have any other arrangements for you?"
"Yes, after I successfully helped you break out of the encirclement, I had to go to the front line to help the prime minister, because most of our army's troops are definitely gathered there, and most of Cao Cao's troops are also gathered there."
"Then take the ten thousand infantry with you. The eight hundred cavalry are enough for me."
Hearing this, Xu Rong's expression did not change, but his heart was already turbulent. What does it mean that eight hundred riders are enough? However, Xu Rong then thought of Zhang Liao's deeds of defeating more with less. One thousand cavalry swept through Zhou Yu's 50,000 army, 5,000 cavalry swept through Zhou Yu's 80,000 army, and even 10,000 people defended Xuzhou City, facing 130,000. The army's attack not only defended the city of Xuzhou, but also killed more than 50,000 people.
These are Zhang Liao's deeds. It seems that Zhang Liao was born to fight with less and fight more, or that Zhang Liao was born to be able to command only a few people. Xu Rong shook his head and threw away all the thoughts in his mind.
"Okay, Brother Wenyuan, be careful!"
"Brother Xuantu, take care of it!"
After the two briefly exchanged greetings, they galloped away in opposite directions. Before they separated, Xu Rong took out a few patches of dark herbs from the bag on his horse's back, which Hua Tuo had given him before, specifically for use. Not only Xu Rong had herbal medicine for treating trauma, but all the generals also had it. Many soldiers were also equipped with it, especially the cavalry, who carried it with them. However, Zhang Liao set out too hastily this time and had no time to bring it with him before leaving. Get on this.
Finding a quiet place, Zhang Liao dismounted and took off his armor. The armor that was originally intact was now in tatters. It was all marked by knives and axes and was stained red by blood. With the help of his soldiers, Zhang Liao Green herbs were applied to wounds all over his body.
Zhang Liao's body was wrapped in white gauze, especially in the north, which was the hardest hit area. There were wounds almost every few centimeters, and the wounds were crisscrossed, highlighting the hardship of this battle.
Not only Zhang Liao, but the injured soldiers were also covered with herbal medicine and wrapped in white gauze. The entire army of 800 riders was almost everyone wounded and covered with bandages.
If others see this scene, they will only find it funny and think that this cavalry should have no combat effectiveness. Only enemies who have actually fought with them will truly understand the power of Zhang Liao and his men, as well as their unreasonableness. tactics.
The moment the herbal medicine covered the wound, Zhang Liao felt a stream of clear water entering his body from the wound. The clear stream flowed on the ground on his hand, making the originally painful wound feel less painful and at the same time not affecting the fight.
"He is indeed a miracle doctor, he is really awesome."
Zhang Liao's cavalry lieutenant, Jia Wenqing, turned his arm and said that during the battle, his right arm was struck three times and he could only charge with a spear with his left arm. Even so, he still followed Zhang Liao out of the encirclement. Now that the dark herbal medicine has just been applied, it hasn't even taken half an hour, but his right arm can already move.
"You don't need to tell me. I heard that the miracle doctor is not only very good at curing diseases, but also prepares the same medicine. The infantry commander is not very good at it, so he took the miracle doctor's medicine. Then I heard that his wife was tormented all night. Didn't even sleep."
A centurion on the side said quietly. Jia Wenqing raised his hand and rewarded him with a chestnut, and then glared at him.
"If there is no basis, say less and don't spread it everywhere."
The centurion scratched his head and laughed, stopped talking, turned his horse's head and walked aside, no longer leaning on Jia Wenqing. After a while, Jia Wenqing rode his horse and approached the centurion unsteadily. .
"Ahem, uh, that, the one you said is the infantry commander, is that true?"
"Absolutely true."
The centurion had a "I understand" expression on his face and smiled. Jia Wen gave him a blank look and leaned close to her and whispered.
"I have a friend who is not very good at that, you know?"
"I understand, I understand."
The centurion nodded like a rattle, and Jia Wenqing glanced at him appreciatively.
"Well, that's fine. You can help me get it. No, help my friend get two pairs of that medicine."
"Okay, Commander, when the time comes, I will take you to Yaosong's house?"
"Okay..., no, it's not for me to give it home, so just give it to me if you find a chance."
The centurion didn't speak any more, and just patted his chest. As if you were relieved to leave it to me, Jia Wenqing patted the centurion's shoulder.
"You boy, you have a future."
After saying that, he rode away and came to Zhang Liao's side. Zhang Liao was riding his horse forward. After hearing Jia Wenqing's return, he suddenly spoke.
"I'm so young. Isn't this okay? Be more careful in the future."
"Okay, General, huh? No, no, I got it for my friend."
Zhang Liao ignored Jia Wenqing's sophistry, but continued walking forward with a smirk on his face. He ignored Jia Wenqing's explanations. After hearing Zhang Liao's words, the soldiers around him became bolder. You They all made fun of Jia Wenqing with each other. After all, Jia Wenqing was just a young man who had just grown up. He couldn't stand so many jokes and blushed with embarrassment.
"What are you talking about? Let's see who dares to say another word? You all want to practice with me, right? Come on, let's see who dares to laugh!"
Jia Wenqing sat on his horse and turned around to yell, pointing at the people who had just made fun of him. Some of them who were not afraid of being beaten spoke immediately.
"Lord Commander, can I let you give me a beating before you can continue talking? Then beat me first. I just have the miracle doctor's medicine and it won't hurt even after being beaten."
"When we were beaten, it hurt our bodies, but our waists didn't hurt."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The crowd burst into laughter. Not only them, but the netizens in the live broadcast room were also happy.
"I didn't realize that Zhang Liao, who usually looks like a serious person, would make such a joke. He is handsome, powerful, strong, and treacherous. Isn't this a perfect template for a domineering CEO? If it were now, he would at least be the CEO of a superior company or the heir of a family."
"This atmosphere is simply amazing. It is much better than the atmosphere under Cao Zhonger and Sun Menghu. Sun Menghu's subordinates are still fighting."
"Um, I have a question. Is Hua Tuo's, no, miracle doctor's medicine really that effective? Does it support express delivery? Otherwise, send a few doses over. Um, I have a friend with kidney problems who really needs this stuff."
"Making friends out of nothing."
"If I'm not mistaken, your friend is you."
Once the discussion about the topic of kidneys begins, it is always difficult to stop. So when Zhang Liao and others had already ended the topic and started heading towards Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, netizens had not stopped communicating about how to maintain kidneys.
Some Chinese medicine practitioners have begun to give lectures in the live broadcast room, teaching them how to improve or keep their functions from degenerating. At the same time, a pharmacy has been opened, which is full of Chinese medicines for replenishing yang energy, which is even more replenishing than Liuwei Dihuang Pills.
Zhang Liao and his party, with bandages all over their bodies, set out on the road to support Jiangxia County. Originally, Zhang Liao was going to go straight to Yuzhang County, but after receiving the news from Xu Rong, he changed his original direction and prepared to go to Yuzhang County to help Huang Zu resist Sun Jian.
If Huang Zu is the person who knows Sun's army best and fights with Sun's army the most in Jingzhou, then Zhang Liao is the person who knows Sun's army best, fights the most, and wins the most in Xuzhou. Both of them can be called Jiangdong nemesis, and now, the two Jiangdong nemesis are about to meet and join forces to deal with Sun's army.
Zhang Liao went from the northeast to the southwest, and Guan Yu was stationed in the northwest of Xiakou City. They were all ready to move against Sun Jian, but Sun Jian did not realize that danger was coming at this moment. At this moment, Sun Jian was thinking about how he could take Jiangxia County with the least loss.
Sun Jian had planned it all. After conquering Jiangxia County, he would enter the city and rob for three days, and then loot all the gold, silver and jewelry. You, Cao Cao, want to fight with me for Jiangxia, right? Then I will let you fight to your heart's content.
This was not Sun Jian's idea, but a plan that Sun Jian had already implemented. In other towns and counties in Jiangxia County, Sun Jian had already started large-scale burning, killing and looting. Wherever he went, he left almost no grass. It can be said that even if the entire Jiangxia County was given to Cao Cao, the total income Cao Cao would get from it might not be as substantial as the income from the tomb raider going to a big tomb.
Sun Jian planned to conquer Jiangxia from the beginning, aiming for the wealth of Jiangxia. If you, Cao Cao, insist on fighting for it, then I will give it to you. However, whether it is still valuable or not is none of Sun Jian's business.
