The barbarian king Jin Xuan spoke of was none other than the famous Samoko.

Originally, this barbarian king was very powerful in the mountainous area of ​​​​Nanjun County. He ate well and drank hot food all day long. When he was bored, he would rob in nearby counties and counties. Jin Xuan could not do anything to him anyway, so he could only pretend not to see him, but Samoko also Nothing was done too much, the two of them maintained a delicate balance.

But this balance was broken a few days ago. The powerful Barbarian King Samoko was defeated by a group of bandits who fled here. Even his entire clan became defeated by others.

At this moment, the large seat covered with wild beast furs that should have been where Samoko was sitting had already changed its owner.

"Your Majesty, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, sent his son to deliver several carts of money and grain. He said that he hoped that we would assist Liu Bei's army from the flanks when they attacked the city. They would attack fiercely on the surface but in a roundabout way. I wonder if we agree?"

Samoko was in his prime at this time, with dark skin and bulging muscles, long hair with some curls, and exuding wildness all over his body.

But his wild nature was extremely restrained at the moment. The barbarian king stood respectfully, and on the seat that originally belonged to him, sat a man with sharp eyebrows and red phoenix eyes. His legs were slender and straight, and his whole person exuded a cold temperament. woman.

Yes, it was a woman who defeated the barbarian king.

This woman looked like she was only in her early twenties, and her cold eyes were like a sharp sword. Just staring at her made Shamoko feel tingling all over.

This woman was the bandit leader who defeated him. She came here from nowhere. Her martial arts skills were as strong as those of ghosts and gods. Even the king of the barbarians, who was famous for his strength, turned into a helpless child in front of this woman. , it can be said that he was completely convinced that he lost in front of this woman and had no chance of winning.

"Yes, you have money and food, so why not agree? So many of our brothers also need to eat. Even if Jin Xuan is a good person, if he hadn't taken the initiative to send it to your door, we would have come to ask for it."

Shamoko wiped the sweat in his heart. After all, Jin Xuan was also the governor of Wuling. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, and there were city walls to supplement them. There were also all kinds of defensive equipment such as rolling logs, thunder stones, etc. They were bandits and barbarians. In the absence of siege equipment, they can only attack Qiu Feng from the outside. If they really attack the city, the losses will be huge.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right now."

On the other side, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yi had an unimpeded journey, climbed a small hill, and looked at Wuling City not far away.

Obviously, Jin Xuan already knew that they were coming, and Zhang Fei sent people in advance to persuade them to surrender, but the result was a hail of arrows.

"Hahaha~~~I, Lao Zhang, am really afraid that he will surrender without a fight. If all the people we meet are cowards, it would be boring to fight. Now is the perfect time for me to stretch my muscles~!"

Zhao Yi was slightly surprised when he looked at Wuling City with its city gates tightly closed and in a state of solemnity. In his impression, Liu Bei conquered the four southern counties by sweeping all the way without encountering any obstacles. Why is this unknown person so famous? The almost transparent Jin Xuan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms also dared to jump in front of Mr. Zhang.

"Jin Xuan! I'll give you one last chance. If you don't open the city and surrender, I will rush into the city and chop off your head to make a chamber pot~~~!"

Zhang Fei rode his horse on a hill and roared towards Wuling City from a distance. The sound was rumbling, as if powered by a high-power loudspeaker. Zhao Yi's ears were buzzing and he sighed in his heart. No wonder Zhang Fei could The voice scares the bile out of others. Is this voice someone who has practiced the lion's roar skill?

The pleasantries at the moment. Wearing armor and wrinkles, he stood at the top of the city. But see the distant hills. Zhang Fei's voice sounded like thunder coming from afar. He was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind the soldiers. But he soon realized that the other party was still far away.

"Ahem..."

Jin Xuan coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and said in the direction of Zhang Fei: "A black-faced man~! You want me to surrender without a fight? There is no way~! If you have the ability, come and attack the city, we Wuling There is no coward in the whole city, and I vow to live and die with Wu Ling~~~!"

He shouted with awe-inspiring justice and felt good about himself, but in fact Zhang Fei couldn't hear it at all, and the soldiers behind Jin Xuan all complained in their hearts, who wants to live or die with this city? We don’t want to die yet!

"Everyone, prepare a ladder for me, I want to level Wuling!"

Zhang Fei took the lead and rushed down from the hill. The three thousand soldiers he led set up camp on the spot and began to prepare various siege equipment.

In this era, engineering equipment was still relatively primitive, and with Liu Beijun's financial and material resources, he could not assemble large equipment such as a catapult. He only had ladders and the simplest ram.

But Zhao Yi is not worried at all. There are a lot of explosives in his warehouse. As long as he rushes to the bottom corner of the city wall under the cover of shield soldiers, digs a hole and buries some TNT, he can easily blast a gap. This kind of The old-fashioned rammed earth walls are simply vulnerable.

However, while the soldiers were preparing siege equipment in full swing, Zhao Yi and Zhang Fei twitched their ears almost in tandem and turned their heads to the right.

"Huh? Someone is coming, who can it be?"

Zhang Fei took one look, got on his horse, took his Zhangba Snake Spear, and stood ready. Based on his experience, he could clearly feel that this group of men and horses had a strong murderous intention, and they were enemies rather than friends.

Zhao Yi lay on the ground and put his ear to the ground to feel the vibration. After a moment, he said: "Third Master, there are probably nearly a thousand people coming, some on horseback, but most of them are infantry. Their steps are messy and don't look like regular troops."

Zhang Fei unexpectedly looked at Zhao Yi who was lying on the ground and said: "Hongfei, you are really a disciple of the immortal. You can tell who he is lying on the ground."

"Haha~ Third Master, this is not some magical method, there is a trick."

"Do you have a secret? Then you have to teach me. When the time comes, I will learn how to show off in front of my eldest brother and second brother."

"This is easy to say, but the other party is not friendly, so we still have to make some preparations."

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Fei summoned a group of spearmen to form a formation and pointed their spearheads toward their right, which was the west side of Wuling City.

Rows of archers put their arrows on their strings, always on alert.

Jin Xuan, who was standing on the top of the city, had a relatively wide field of vision. He was overjoyed when he saw a group of people galloping in the distance.

"Here they come, these Southern Barbarians are finally here. It seems that my money and food have not been wasted!"

When the team of men and horses were about a hundred meters away from Zhang Fei and others, they slowly stopped. The cavalry on horseback in front waited for a moment. After the infantry in the rear caught up, they actually started to form a standard cone-shaped formation on the spot.

"Um?"

Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows, looking strange.

"Where did these guys come from? They are all aliens, and some of them are disheveled like beggars. Their weapons are all kinds of different, so they are not bandits, right?"

Zhao Yi was also quite curious and said: "It looks like they are bandits. Why did the bandits want to go through this muddy water? Could it be that Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, has brought reinforcements?"

"Hahaha~~~~This Jin Xuan is really a waste without eggs! The head of a high-ranking county asked the bandits for help, and he lost his life! Hongfei, please stay in the formation later and watch me, Lao Zhang, lead the troops to defeat these The rabble was trampled to pieces!"

How could Zhang Fei with his violent temper endure being provoked by a group of bandits? Immediately lead a group of cavalry to rush over.

But at this moment, he suddenly reined in the horse's head and looked forward with eyes as wide as cowbells, and Zhao Yi also saw the general on the opposite side.

"Woman? Is this bandit leader a woman? Or a beautiful woman..."

Zhao Yi touched his chin and looked at the long-legged female general riding a red horse.

Although the woman was riding on a horse, Zhao Yi, who had seen countless women, could tell at a glance that she was at least 1.75 meters tall, with straight legs full of explosiveness, wheat-colored skin paired with eyebrows like standing knives, which was quite a bit... A cool neutral aesthetic.

He and Zhang Fei looked at each other and both thought this was strange, but then they heard the female general on the opposite side take the lead in calling out: "Is the person opposite Zhang Yide a black-faced man?"

"Um?"

When Zhang Fei heard that the female general across from him actually recognized him and dared to scold him, he became furious and said: "I, Lao Zhang, won't kill women with his eight-foot-long snake spear. You little kid who doesn't know how to live or die, get out of the way!"

"Damn black-faced man, who are you calling a baby? My name is Lu Lingqi, I am the daughter of Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. Today I will avenge my father and chop off your dog's head!"
