After two days of running.

Gongsun Yuan finally dared to rush to the frontier fortress city ahead of Lu Bu and began to garrison it.

In August 21 AD, Lu Bu led an army to attack the Liaodong frontier fortress.

Although it is August, winter in Liaodong seems to be coming, and an autumn rain has dampened all the warmth of summer and autumn.

The two sides, who had just experienced a rain, started fighting a few days later when the sun was still bright.

On the battlefield, drums were beating loudly and horns were playing leisurely.

The soldiers of both armies had weapons in hand and long swords in their hands, and they started fighting one after another.

The formation of the Liaodong Army today is an attack formation. All the cavalry are holding long bows in their hands, and behind the horses are the shield bearers on the horses, and at the end is the giant stone machine on the top of the city.

And a large bed crossbow. The entire military formation is neat and sophisticated...

Lu Bu, with his hair tied in a golden crown, held Fang Tian's painted halberd and praised: "The Liaodong Army is worthy of being the Han cavalry that has fought for dominance in the desert for hundreds of years!"

Zang Ba next to him said with a smile, a little disdainful.

"Brother, how can you increase the prestige of others? It's not like we have never fought against the Liaodong Army. It's not like you don't know how capable they are during the Guandu War?"

Lu Bu shook the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand and pointed at the Liaodong Army opposite him and said: "The Liaodong Army we encountered in the Central Plains were all infantry, but we have never encountered decent Liaodong cavalry. The Liaodong cavalry has been able to dominate the world for many years.

, they even defeated the Huns in one fell swoop and became famous.

Next, this is definitely not an exaggeration. You see, each of them is holding a bow and arrow, which means that they can attack and shoot immediately. The weapons in each of their hands are full-moon scimitars in their waists, which means that they are all barbarians or are already familiar with barbarians.

The army of life is not an opponent that can be underestimated."

Wang Zhen and Han Hao also echoed: "Yes, I have been fighting for many years, and I have never seen such a sophisticated army, especially the Liaodong people. They are strong and strong. Except for our Xiliang warriors, I think they can compete with them."

It is difficult for us soldiers from the Central Plains to fight against them."

At this time, Gongsun Yuan had already stepped out of the army and shouted loudly: "Bold Chu thief, I am Gongsun Yuan. Since you are here today, don't even think about going back alive. Isn't there one of you who is the most brave general in the world?"

Fight me for three hundred rounds!"

When Lu Bu heard the opponent's challenge, he realized that despite the strong army on the opposite side, his own army was actually a little timid today. Lu Bu originally wanted to go forward and defeat Gongsun Yuan, and then raise the ambition of the entire army.

Lu Bu originally wanted to urge his horse forward, but a captain next to him waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "There is no use in killing chickens with a butcher's knife. The last general Zhang Liang goes to meet this guy who doesn't know whether to live or die!"

Zhang Liang, who came out on a flying horse, also wore a silver helmet and plain armor, and was covered in glory. Gongsun Yuan saw that there was a man coming out of the formation, and he took a good look at the general.

Gongsun Yuan reined in his horse, pointed the sword in his hand and asked: "The person coming is Lu Bu. I just want to know you!"

Zhang Liang looked at Gongsun Yuan, because he was really too young, only twenty years old, but there were many generals in the Chu army who were only in their twenties. Zhang Liang scolded disdainfully: "Just because

You are worthy of my general taking action personally. I am Zhang Liang, a former military lieutenant. I can kill enough."

Zhang Liang shook the spear in his hand and stood with Gongsun Yuan.

Gongsun Yuan only felt a burst of cold air coming towards him, but Gongsun Yuan could not hide. The people on both sides were staring closely at the results of the competition between the two. At this time, only the sun was shining from the direction of Gongsun Yuan.

Coming over, Zhang Liang suddenly felt a little dizzy as he charged forward. The moment he closed his eyes, he felt a cold air coming towards him, followed by another burst of pain, and a stream of blood flowing directly from his chest.

A steel knife was inserted deeply into his chest...

After Zhang Liang opened his eyes, he saw Gongsun Yuan's arrogant smile. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the steel knife on his chest. He thought that the Chu army had returned victoriously from countless expeditions, but he did not expect that he would die in battle today.

Here, the spear in his hand began to become so heavy, so heavy.

There was only a "clang" sound, and the heavy spear fell to the ground.

Gongsun Yuan also raised the long knife in his hand in an instant. The corpse was already hanging on Gongsun Yuan's avenue, and was then heavily thrown away.

Lu Bu watched helplessly as one of his captains was beheaded by Gongsun Yuan. But at this moment, the sun opposite suddenly emitted a dazzling light, which made Lu Bu unable to open his eyes.

Only then did Lu Bu realize that he had made a fatal mistake today.

Seeing that his companion Zhang Liang was killed, General Wei Tao shouted: "Gongsun Yuan will kill my companion if he kills me!"

He ran towards him with a sword. At this moment, Gongsun Yuan raised the long sword in his hand and ordered all the soldiers to charge.

Gongsun Yuan took the lead and charged towards Lu Bu's army.

I saw this Liaodong army. First everyone raised their bows and shot arrows, and then a shower of arrows fell on this unprepared young army. Countless people started to fight and immediately declined.

Screams, commands, and shouts all broke out among the team.

Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand and ordered: "All soldiers retreat, my troops will retreat."

The Xiliang cavalry pulled out their scimitars from their waists one after another. The moment they pulled out, countless feather arrows shot at them, followed by another sword.

…………

In the first battle, the army led by Lu Bu retreated fifty miles, losing 5,000 soldiers and horses.

The news of the failure was quickly conveyed to Chu King Nie Zefeng by the messenger.

However, along the way, they passed by in order to promote their victory.

Nie Zefeng took the so-called "Great Victory" letter and opened it, and he got the general idea.

Nie Zefeng was also a generous man and did not decide to punish the soldiers of the Northern Expedition because of Lu Bu's failure.

One hundred thousand soldiers, far away from their homeland in the Central Plains, followed him to the bloody battle in Liaodong, thousands of miles away. As their king, Nie Zefeng knew that they were really in trouble. Suddenly Nie Zefeng understood a truth.

One reason is that in the past, the barbaric empires of Mongolia, Yuan, Liao and Jin were able to sweep across the world with only a small number of armies. They relied on plundering and kidnapping to stimulate morale.

Just like Meng Yuan's cavalry sweeping across Europe and Asia, they would rob wherever they hit. With such a naked temptation, how could the soldiers not sacrifice their lives, how could they not become murderous and crazy.

At this time, Nie Zefeng suddenly ordered to the herald next to him, telling the soldiers of the three armies that from now on, any city that does not surrender voluntarily can be plundered at will, women can be your bedfellows, and men can kill or become your

Servant of...

Soon, the bloody atmosphere was swept away by the cheers and gratitude of the Chu soldiers.

After the edict was issued, that night, the entire Liliu City and the military camps of soldiers on the Lu Bu front line turned into a sea of ​​joy.

The officers and soldiers of Da Chu thoroughly enjoyed the good wine and meat they had plundered as a reward from Chu King Nie Zefeng. They ate and drank enough to enjoy themselves. However, the orders of Chu King Nie Zefeng began to spread in the military camp, and everyone began to plan to enter the city.

to rob huge amounts of property.

Nie Zefeng stood on the high ground and saw a sea of ​​joyful Chu troops.

Nie Zefeng knew deeply that China claimed to be a civilized country, but it was too kind to its enemies, which resulted in bitter consequences for itself time and time again.

He now wants to remove the useless "civilization" from the hearts of the Chu army, turning them into war machines and clearing out all enemies for the great Chu country.

At the same time, Lu Bu, who was the most brave general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was also standing on the high ground. He also saw that the soldiers who had been defeated and demoralized a few days ago had turned into a sea of ​​joy in the blink of an eye.

For three days in a row, Nie Zefeng and his 100,000 troops celebrated grandly.

After the big banquet on the third day, at nightfall, Nie Zefeng, who was smelling of alcohol, began to remember that during the previous attack on Lieliu City, he had captured two important missions, but the battle ahead had been tense and he had not had time to interrogate them.

One of them seems to be an iconic beauty. Nie Zefeng has been stationed here for half a month, but he is a little irritable...

Nie Zefeng then ordered that Gongsun Yan and Jia Sheng be escorted to see him.

After a while, Gongsun Yan and the kidnapped Jia Sheng were brought into the hall one after another.

Gongsun Yan and Jia Sheng looked a little strange at the majestic palace in Liliu City.

Princess Liaodong, who was being escorted on the road, and Jia Sheng, Jia Fan's younger brother and the chief official of Lieliu City, were discussing quietly.

As a princess who was personally granted the title of the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Yan was also a relatively far-sighted princess. She couldn't help but sigh: "The same palaces show different atmospheres. It seems that the prosperity of a city and a dynasty is not the same."

It is decided by the people, but by a monarch."

Jia Sheng did not give up his idea at this time but comforted him: "Princess, that big devil is..."

Gongsun Yan was not tied hand and foot, but interrupted him.

"Lord Chang Shi, if the King of Chu is really unpopular, how can they fight all the way to Liaodong, and their money and food are constantly supplied to them..."

The people escorting them on both sides had no trouble with the King of Chu's special instructions, and they arrived at the main hall unknowingly.

This palace that originally belonged to them, but now, as prisoners, they walked into it again, and they felt a lot of emotion.

After entering the main hall, Nie Zefeng, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly heard a sweet voice. "I pay my respects to the king."

Gongsun Yan was very sensible and quickly saluted Nie Zefeng, who was sitting high on the steps.
