"We may not be able to save a person, but we must never take the initiative to harm someone."

Not long after Liu Deng finished speaking these words, not far away from where he had just left, countless torches fell from the sky and were thrown into Zhu Ran's military camp.

In terms of his own medical skills, Liu Deng did not directly poison Lu Su, which means he did not violate the doctor's benevolence in writing.

As for the battle between the two armies, it was not something Liu Deng could lead or influence.

Fire rained down from the sky, and all sides of Zhu Ran's camp were set on fire. Jiangdong soldiers fled in panic. Just as they arrived at the camp gate, Jingzhou soldiers came to kill them, with crossbows like rain and torches like torches. They all shouted: "Capture alive."

Lu Su! Capture Zhu Ran alive!"

Lu Su, who was in the camp, heard the commotion outside, and after questioning, he learned that Jingzhou soldiers had suddenly attacked. With the help of the waiter, he stood up to take a look.

Although he didn't know Liu Deng's origins, one thing was clear: Zhu Ran would never have stayed here if it weren't for his own medical treatment.

Therefore, regardless of whether Liu Deng's appearance was accidental or premeditated, he indeed implicated the entire army.

Lu Su was an honest man, and he could not accept the fact that the entire army was destroyed because of one man. When he heard the shouting outside the camp, he immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground unconscious.

While Zhu Ran sent people to resist the attack of Jingzhou soldiers, he consulted the map with his guide.

This mountainous area was still relatively unfamiliar to Zhu Ran. Although he knew the overall march route well, he had not thought about how to advance and retreat after encountering the enemy here - after all, this was also a temporary camp and was attacked in the middle of the night.

After the Jiangdong soldiers formed a defensive formation, the Jingzhou soldiers stopped firing their crossbows.

Deng Ai only had 7,000 soldiers and horses at hand, and he sent hundreds of people to set fire on the cliff. Therefore, he did not plan to directly enter the camp and fight Zhu Ran. He just guarded the door and prevented them from leaving the camp.

At this time, the fire was spreading and the smoke was billowing. Even if Deng Ai didn't attack, Jiangdong soldiers would feel very uncomfortable staying in the camp. But if they wanted to rush out of the camp, the only thing waiting for them was a repeating crossbow that could penetrate armor.

Speaking of this armor, although the iron smelting technology in the Han Dynasty has been greatly developed, due to economic and productivity constraints, not everyone is qualified to wear armor on the battlefield.

Ordinary soldiers basically use leather armor. Better ones such as Dub can use bronze armor or even iron armor to make it into a letter-style style, so it is called "Zha Armor".

Although the body armor of Zha armor uses larger rectangular armor pieces, and the sleeve armor uses smaller armor pieces, which are stacked layer by layer from bottom to top to facilitate arm movement, the overall mobility is much worse than that of fish scale armor.

As for the continuous crossbow, although it cannot penetrate the armor, it can penetrate the seams of the armor and reach the human body.

As for the leather armor, it's good at blocking an arrow, but forget it when it comes to a repeating crossbow with a range of 120 meters.

The Jingzhou soldiers on the cliff were still throwing torches downwards, and more and more places in Zhu Ran's tent caught fire. If this continued, he would be killed by the thick smoke if not burned to death.

Zhu Ran planned the retreat route and ordered Lu Su to be carried into the car and driven out. He himself was wearing fish scale armor made of Danyang fine iron, holding a gun in his hand, and shouted: "Young men of Jiangdong, don't want to wait here to die.

Just follow me and kill you."

After that, he took the lead and jumped into the formation.

Several lieutenants tried to stop Zhu Ran and said, "General Zhu does not need to put himself in danger."

With that said, they all rode into battle one by one, rushing out of the camp in front of Zhu Ran. As a general, Zhu Ran would naturally follow closely wherever he was willing to lag behind others.

When Jiangdong soldiers saw their generals and deputy generals rushing out, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all stepped forward with halberds in hand.

Deng Ai gave an order and the crossbow rain started again.

The first several lieutenants in the lead swung their spears to block and protected themselves with shields. Unfortunately, the crossbows were too dense and there were always places that could not be defended. They only rushed a few feet away and were hit by several crossbows. Some of the crossbow arrows penetrated them.

The armor passed by and pierced into the flesh, and some crossbow bolts hit the horses, causing the cavalrymen to be thrown into chaos.

But as long as the man is not dead and the horse is not knocked down, they still do not let go of the reins and move forward with all their strength, breaking out a bloody path for the men behind them.

When he was young, Zhu Ran, who was carrying a crossbow bolt in his left arm, had already entered the Jingzhou soldiers' camp. Seeing this, Deng Ai rode up to meet the enemy.

Jingzhou soldiers surrounded them from both sides. Some soldiers surrounded Zhu Ran and several other cavalry generals, while others raised their halberds to block the Jiangdong soldiers who were charging out.

But he said that Zhu Ran was not inferior to Deng Ai in terms of force, but his left arm was injured and he always had difficulty wielding the gun. His strength and accuracy were far inferior to before.

Defeat and retreat.

But Zhu Ran had no choice but to retreat.

The Jiangdong soldiers from behind have already rushed up. Behind them is a sea of ​​fire. If they retreat, they will die. Instead, they move forward bravely. With the number of people, they can still get a chance to survive.

Since the terrain was not very open, it was difficult to tell the direction in the dark at night, so there was fierce fighting only where the two armies met. The rest of the sergeants in the rear mostly just waved torches and shouted to build momentum. But in this way, Jiangdong soldiers

They lost their numerical advantage, but their geographical advantage was taken over by Jingzhou soldiers.

Zhu Ran was pushed to the front again by the Jiangdong soldiers from behind. He fought hard with Deng Ai and was shot several times and fell off his horse. Then he was carried to the rear by the thoughtful Jiangdong soldiers.

Deng Ai sent an order to the rear army to hold more torches and bluff so that the Jiangdong soldiers could not see how many Jingzhou soldiers there were, so that they could effectively break the resistance of the cross-Jiangdong soldiers.

At this time, Jiang Dongbing had lost the command of his coach, and was naturally in a state of chaos. Behind him was a sea of ​​fire, and in front of him were endless torches. His mentality gradually began to collapse. The determination to fight against the enemy just now was also coming to an end.

Start to fall apart.

Deng Ai saw the opportunity and asked the Jingzhou soldiers in the rear to shout in unison: "Put down your weapons, surrender and avoid death! Those who offer Zhu Ran and Lu Su will be rewarded and appointed officials."

For a moment, the shouts were loud and echoed in the valley.

Although Zhu Ran, Lu Su, and Jiangdong soldiers still did not surrender, they did not dare to do so. However, there were still many people who laid down their weapons and surrendered to avoid death. Once someone surrendered, the morale of Jiangdong soldiers was once again defeated, making them even more vulnerable.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Ran took advantage of the chaos and escaped under the cover of his bodyguards. As for Lu Su's car chase, the target was too big and there was no way he could survive.

of.

Deng Ai used 7,000 Jingzhou soldiers to surrender 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers, greatly boosting his power...

Li Qi finally made the decision to deal with Peng Yi: he was transferred to the Yizhou County Record Office.

The reason is that he is not qualified for the current position of secretary of the state capital, so he is transferred to the county clerk's office according to his talents.

As a scholar, I don't expect you to do much construction in Yizhou, but you can't do bad things.

Especially professional trolls like Peng Yi, who can rely on their rich keyboard experience to sway the mentality of a wave of people who want to take advantage of others.

There is a saying that goes like this: When a dog barks at the entrance of the village, other dogs also bark, but they don’t know why they bark, but they cause trouble in the whole village.

Now that Peng Yi is shouting, it has indeed aroused the support of some people around him. If it continues like this, it will inevitably shake the mentality of Yizhou officials and even the people, and they have to deal with it.

Li Hui, the governor of Yizhou County, originally had a certain degree of autonomy. He could arrange small official positions such as the record office by himself. So Li Qi now forced a Peng Yi to him. Li Hui didn't understand it at first.

.

Could it be that the lord did not trust my behavior in Yizhou County, so he sent someone to monitor me?

Later, after learning the reason why Peng Yi was demoted, Li Hui seemed to begin to understand. He smiled and said to Cuan Xi: "My lord wants a reputation, and he can't let others say that he can't tolerate things. As my lord's subordinate, the blame falls on you."

I'll carry it."

Half a year later, Peng Yi was imprisoned by the prefect Li Hui because he entered the door with his left foot first while going to work.

More to come later.

But after Deng Ai defeated Zhu Ran, he sent Lu Su back to Jiangling to see if he could use Lu Su as a threat to force Sun Quan to retreat.

Li Qi personally led all the officials to the riverside to greet Lu Su.

Although everyone was their own masters and fought against each other, Li Qi still admired Lu Su's personality and strategic vision. Therefore, after receiving Deng Aitang's report, he set up his position on the riverside early and called the famous doctor in Jiangling City at any time.

Prepare to take Lu Su’s pulse and practice medicine.

Li Qi had even thought of his lines for the meeting.

What a long time no see;

No business talk, just pleasantries.

As a result, when Jingzhou soldiers escorted Lu Su to the river bank, Lu Su had already died of serious illness.

Although there was no such defeat, Lu Su would not have been able to escape this disaster according to the original historical trajectory, but he eventually died on the battlefield against Jingzhou.

Comparing the two, I don’t know whether Lu Su should be grateful or regretful.

Fortunately, as the governor of Jiangdong, I am still wrapped in horse leather;

It is a pity that I did not make any contribution to the Marquis of Wu, capture Jingnan, and achieve the second step of the "Strategy on the Couch": "Know what the Yangtze River has to its limit, and take advantage of it."

If Sun Quan stabs him in the back, then he is an enemy.

The enemy's capable general died. From Li Qi's point of view, he should be happy.

Li Qi was indeed happy for a few days after learning that Lu Su was seriously ill and Xu Sheng was appointed as acting governor.

There is no big problem for Xu Sheng to fight local wars, but he is far from the heights of Zhou Yu and Lu Su. What Li Qi fears most is that Lu Meng died early and Sun Quan awakened Lu Xun in advance when no one was available.

.

Although Jianglingwen had counselors such as Pang Tong and Jia Xu, and powerful generals such as Wu Guanyu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, most of the troops were left in Guanzhong to pacify the remaining forces of all parties and defend Cao Cao. With the current strength of Jingnan, Lu Xun was held back.

There is a chance of winning, but it's hard to say what the odds are.

So when Lu Su was seriously ill and Xu Sheng came to power, Li Qi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But now Lu Su suddenly left like this. It was said that he left on the way across the river, which inevitably made Li Qi feel a little sad.

Because Li Qi has two identities, one is the lord of the four states of Jing, Yi, Liang, and Si (half); the other is a time traveler.

As a time traveler, it is inevitable that I will have some subjective feelings about the characters of this era after nearly two thousand years of fermentation.

He once admired the Jihan Group's persistent beliefs and admired the Cao Wei Group's might and domineering, but he did not have much feelings for the Soochow Group. However, there were exceptions for individual subordinates under the Soochow Group, and Lu Su was one of them.

Li Qi took a bowl of turbid wine from Zhou Cang's hand and sprinkled it on the ground in memory of Lu Su.

Zhou Cang took the empty bowl back and asked Li Qidao: "Dig a hole and bury it?"
