Three Kingdoms

The west wind blows, soldiers and armor are flying, Luliang is gloomy, and the mountains and rivers are turbulent.

Xiangling County is a city built on a flat land between Fenshui River and Luliang Mountain. It is a city with relatively ideal terrain on the entire loess plain.

The Luliang Mountains are the transitional mountains between the Loess Plateau and the Jizhou Plain. Together with the Taihang Mountains, they form a natural barrier between Jizhou and Bingzhou.

Because it has been washed by water veins for thousands of years, Luliang Mountain is actually divided into multiple sections like Taihang Mountain. The northern section of Luliang Mountain is divided into two parallel lines east and west, with Yunzhong Mountain in the east and Luya Mountain and Luya Mountain in the west. Guanchuan Mountain, sandwiched between Jinngle Basin, is the watershed of the Sangqian River and Fen River system.

By pinching Xiangling, it blocked the path of the Baibo Army going south. It also blocked the Baibo Army's path to the Taiyuan area through the Luliang Mountain Trail, thus limiting the scope of the entire Baibo Army's activities.

Lu Chang was marching at full speed to Xiangling County with a team of troops.

A personal guard reminded Lu Chang: "Lu Juncheng, do you want to send some scouts out? Our speed is too fast..."

The guard did not continue. After all, in this kind of terrain, with rivers on one side and mountains on the other side, if he was ambushed, it would be a very serious consequence.

Lu Chang was panting, and every breath was difficult for him. Originally, he was fat and had to run long distances. In order to rush, he even stopped riding in a carriage. Now the long-term friction caused severe pain between his thighs. Not only that, the physical exertion was also very large. , it feels like the whole chest is about to burn.

"...It's okay! We're only ten miles away!" Lu Chang thought for a moment and said, "If the Yellow Turban bandits have captured Xiangling, we will at least encounter people fleeing on the road. Since we haven't seen them now, then it means Xiangling should still be in our hands. Speed ​​up and try to reach Xiangling before sunset!"

Unless some Yellow Turban thieves cross the Fen River and take a detour, this is extremely unlikely...

"Wei!" The guard also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and agreed loudly, and then rode his horse to the front of the team, shouting, boosting morale and keeping the team moving at a fast speed.

It is only ten miles away from Xiangling, which is more than half an hour. Although it is spring and the sun is not too long, at the current speed, it should not be dark when we get to Xiangling.

Lu Chang and his group of soldiers were walking along the official road. Suddenly, they saw several large rocks falling from the top of the mountain in the middle of the road. They lay across the middle of the road, blocking the way to Xiangling. , at most, they can barely climb over the rocks one by one.

"What's wrong?!" Lu Chang felt that the entire team had slowed down, and he rode from the middle of the team to the front.

"Jun Cheng, the mountain has fallen and rocks are blocking the way..."

"Pry it open!" Lu Chang ordered.

Landslides are inevitable. After all, the Han Dynasty did not do any special projects to seal the mountains, so such situations do occur occasionally.

But Lu Chang suddenly felt very uneasy at this moment, and couldn't help but sit on the horse and look around.

Logically speaking, this place is not far from Xiangling. If the Baibo Army wants to set up an ambush, there are many areas on the road that are actually better ambush points, but there was no one in those places before.

And it would be too unreasonable to say that the Baibo Army set up an ambush here. They neither saw any fleeing people nor encountered soldiers from Xiangling along the way. In this case, it is unlikely that the Baibo Army would cross Xiangling. The mausoleum is here...

However, these rocks are too big, and there are many traces of soil on them. They don't look like they fell freely from the mountain due to wind and rain. Instead, they look a bit like they were deliberately pried out of the soil...

All the signs were contradictory, and it was difficult for Lu Chang to judge for a while.

Fenshui gurgled on one side, but Luliang Mountain was silent. Lu Chang's soldiers were struggling to pry stones with wooden sticks and other tools...

Lu Chang suddenly thought of some passages in the book of war and shouted loudly: "The sword and shield hand raises the shield to the left! The crossbowman is ready!"

The sudden order made the soldiers panic, but after long-term training, they began to prepare to execute Lu Chang's orders.

Shan Lan whimpered, and suddenly there were a few screams, and some black shadows appeared in front of him from the top of the mountain ridge.

The sound of poofing suddenly sounded, and blood flowers bloomed among Lu Chang's team, and screams came one after another. The swordsman and shieldman had just turned around and had not yet formed a shield wall. As a result, they were knocked off their feet by arrows shot from the mountain...

"Raise the shield! Raise the shield! Archers suppress it!" Lu Chang dismounted in a hurry, hid behind the horse, and ordered loudly.

I don't know when some figures appeared on the mountain ridge, hiding behind trees and bushes, shooting arrows from a high position. The sparse counterattacks by Lu Chang's archers were either blocked by trees or lacked range, and basically had no effect.

"The rear team becomes the front team, retreat!" Lu often felt that the momentum was not right, and did not bother to forcefully pry open the boulder again, but ordered to evacuate the area covered by arrow rain...

But before they had gone a hundred meters, they ran into the enemy troops who came to intercept them, and the entire team was unable to move.

"Kill! Kill! The spearmen come forward, charge forward! Charge forward!" Lu Chang ordered. In this situation, a way out must be quickly found. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be.

It's a pity that the panicked Lu Chang's troops were not prepared to resist the attack from the rear. It was not easy to prepare an attack formation in a moment. The soldiers were pushing each other, some moved forward and some retreated. , it turned into a mess...

"kill!"

The enemy troops who came to intercept had no intention of letting go easily. Two layers of sword and shield bearers plus a layer of spearmen, and archers shooting behind them blocked the official road tightly. They approached step by step. Yan Zheng had Preface, as dense as a forest.

Lu Chang looked at the enemy troops advancing step by step in an orderly manner, and suddenly a rage burned in his chest and abdomen: "This is definitely not a yellow turban thief! Not a yellow turban thief!"

It is not impossible to make the Yellow Turban thieves fight for their lives crazily, but it is extremely difficult to make the Yellow Turban thieves set up such an orderly battle formation. This can only be done by soldiers who have been trained for a long time!

Under the double blow from the front and the side, Lu Chang's team was quickly slaughtered to pieces. Only a few personal guards were left holding large shields to protect Lu Chang among them, but they were already There is no way to save the day. It is only a matter of time before the whole army is annihilated...

Lu Chang's angry voice came out: "Traitor! National traitor! You are all national traitors, and you will die without a burial place!"

A black-robed general among the enemy soldiers smiled contemptuously, and then waved his hand.

The sword and shield soldiers approaching step by step stopped about thirty steps away from Lu Chang's personal guards. A voice came from behind the sword and shield soldiers: "Speed ​​descent can avoid death!"

Under the cover of his personal guards, Lu Chang secretly took off the seal ribbon that was originally hanging on his waist, and then said with a sad smile: "Fanyang Lu family has never had anyone kneel down and be servile! If you die, you will die, so why say more! Kill!" "

The few remaining personal guards dispersed with a bang, and together with Lu Chang launched a desperate attack!

Unfortunately, before he could even take a few steps forward, they were shot down by bows and arrows one after another. Lu Chang was also hit by several arrows and fell to the ground...

A soldier who looked like a leader walked up to Lu Chang's body, bent down and groped around, "No... no seal! There is no seal on him!"

"What?" The black-robed general separated his soldiers and walked out. He frowned and looked at Lu Chang's body facing the sky. Above his belt, the place where the seal and ribbon should have been hung was indeed empty. There was nothing...

"Look for it! Find it for me!" the black-robed general roared angrily.

A soldier suddenly said: "Just now...just now I seemed to see something...flying into the river..."

"What?!" The black-robed general rushed to the roadside. Under the cliff of the official road, Fenshui was surging, and there was no trace of seals anywhere...

Entering June, it’s getting hotter and hotter...

If the update was interrupted that day, it must be because the author suffered a heat stroke at the construction site and was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment...

Sad...
