The next morning, suddenly there were piles of broken clouds in the sky. By noon, when Liangren also appeared in the north and south of Gaoling, these white clouds crowded together and formed a sea of gray clouds. They were rushing back and forth, and the originally hot temperature quickly dropped, and a damp earthy smell gradually appeared in the air. Both the offensive and defensive sides knew that it was probably going to rain soon.
Lu Bu looked at the weather and happily said to the generals in the city: "Lianggou attacked the city, but our army defeated it for a while and took the lead. Now it's going to rain heavily again. I'm afraid they won't be able to attack the city in the next few days. This is God protecting us!”
Everyone is very happy. Gaoling City is located on the Fengzheng Plateau. Not only is the city high, but the land around it is soft and sandy. Once it rains heavily, the ground will turn into a swamp, making it difficult to walk in the mud. If the Liang people attack the city at this time, they will definitely Moving slowly, he fired arrows like rain on the city, and immediately there were corpses lying like grass. More importantly, it was raining heavily at this time. Just as General Fenwu said, if there is God's help, the morale is high and there is no fear of the enemy.
But Song Xian remembered something, and he said to Lu Bu: "General, although rain is a good thing, when the rain comes, I'm afraid the several traps we set under the city will be exposed."
Lu Bu then remembered that in addition to repairing some fences and antlers under the city these days, they also built some traps. I'm afraid they won't be able to use them when the rain comes down. It's better to use them now, so he said: "In this case, why not You go and seduce me in front of the battle, if it works, the Liang people will probably be scared."
After receiving the order, Song Xian immediately lowered his body and responded. He went to the city and ordered more than ten horses, then opened the city gate, came out from the fence on the edge of the plateau, and went to Liangren in the east to make a challenge.
Li Jue got his reward and sneered: "Lü Bu is very clever, and he also resorted to delaying the attack." After hearing this, his nephew Li Li admonished Li Jue and said: "Even so, we must not refuse to fight, otherwise the king's army suffered a small defeat yesterday. I don’t dare to fight today, for fear of damaging the morale of the army.”
Li Jue thought for a while and agreed with Li Li's point of view, so he asked him to take a dozen riders to challenge. He told him: "Although there are many new soldiers among the soldiers, those who can challenge must be the warriors among the soldiers. Don't underestimate the enemy." He also brought more than ten of his confidants to fight outside the camp.
When Song Xian saw Li Li coming out, he had no intention of fighting immediately. Instead, he lightly reined his horse and walked out of the crowd. He rode a handsome gray silver war horse with several shining gems inlaid on the saddle. The horse's head was There is an iron curtain to block arrows, and there are a few gray feathers stuck on the curtain. And he himself was wearing a light yellow military uniform with rhinoceros armor, and his bows, arrows, and knives were placed horizontally behind the saddle. He shook the reins and rode his horse, walking slowly and slowly, slowly approaching Liangying. He looked like the leader of the trip.
Gradually entering the arrow range, Song Xian reined in his horse and stopped. Instead of taking the bow, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "I am Song Xian, the captain of Chiyang under the command of General Wen Hou of the Third Division of Yi Bi." , in the name of General Fenwu, I’m here to ask the general leading your army to speak!”
Hearing that the enemy coming from the opposite side was a captain, Li Li rode out alone to respond. In order to facilitate galloping, neither he nor his mount wore armor. He wore a Longshang-style cloth scarf on his head and a white round-collared narrow embroidered military uniform. He rode a black-backed and white Longshang horse, with two bows on his waist and a handful of Chang Jin slowly leaned towards Song Xian opposite him.
Half an arrow's distance away from Song Xian, Li Li stopped his horse and said to him: "I am Li Li, the lieutenant of Huangzhong Zhonglang General Li Jue. If you have any peace, just tell me."
Song Xian couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw that only a captain came, so he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Colonel Li is not the leader of the army, so I still invite General Li to come and answer."
Li Li snorted, pointed to the precious armor on him and his horse, and said: "Song Lieutenant's treasures are all obtained from Xiwu! My Lord has been deeply favored by the Grand Master, how can I be like you?" I have already tolerated the words of a shameless man who kills his Lord, and I have tolerated it again and again. If you want to say something, say it bluntly. Do you also want to imitate that thief Wang Yun and incite people's hearts?"
Song Xian's face turned red after being scolded like this. He didn't know how many times he had stabbed Li Li in his heart. It took him a long time to swallow the anger and said slowly: "It is really words that only a general can report. Since the captain insists, Then please come and talk." After saying this, he waved to Li Li, who also picked up the reins and slowly raised the horse closer.
You can hear everything you say here, so why bother getting closer? Could it be that he really had something secret to say? Li Li tilted his head and glanced at Song Xian a few times, feeling that this person was frivolous and not a kind person. He must be someone with some tricks. He was secretly on guard in his heart, but on the surface he was very calm, showing no sign of fear, and he slowly drew closer.
The two horses were only about ten steps apart. Li Li thought to himself, if we go further, only one of him and me will survive! He followed Li Jue in his battles in the north and south, and he had already realized the life and death situation in a matter of seconds. He secretly refreshed himself and exerted himself without any burden or tension in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly found a stone lying between the two riders, only five or six steps away from him. This stone is so big that even an ordinary person would need both hands to hold it. He had a vision and saw that the surrounding area was filled with dirt and there were no rocks similar to it. Is this stone so strange? If it wasn't man-made, why would it be placed here? A jackal's sense of smell on the battlefield reminded him that this stone must be related to Song Xian's actions!
He raised his eyes and glanced at Song Xian, seeing that his face was calm and he was slowly lifting his horse. At this moment, Li Li clamped the horse's belly with his feet, suddenly turned his hand, pulled out the bow from the bow bag on his side, and pulled out an arrow from the side of the horse's mane. This is where he usually hides his arrows. He doesn't have to reach for the quiver at the back, which often leaves the enemy unprepared. Just as he quickly drew the bow and nocked the arrow, Song Xian on the opposite side showed a surprised expression. He turned his right hand behind to grab the bow, but with his left hand he pulled the bridle horizontally and turned the horse's head back. His intention was obviously to turn his horse back, then turn around and shoot an arrow. This is right, because the opponent has already seized the opportunity, and if he shoots immediately, he will definitely suffer a loss.
Unfortunately, Li Li's arrow came too fast. Then there was a strange cry like a gull, and a whistle that pierced the bone whistle roared out and hit Song Xian's forehead like lightning. The tip of the arrow penetrated the temple above his left ear and disappeared into the arrow feathers. Song Xian leaned back and fell off the horse, still holding the horse's reins with his left hand, and raised the horse's front hooves to turn around, and then the body fell heavily on the dust.
This scene happened so suddenly that before the soldiers on both sides could recover, the new Chiyang Colonel Song Xian was already dead on his horse.
Li Li's two subordinates saw their master shooting and surrendering, and hurriedly urged their horses forward to seize the enemy's head. Seeing the two of them running out, Li Li quickly stretched out his hand to stop them, but he only had time to say "Be careful of the rocks" before Liang Ren jumped out on horseback. His horse's head sank suddenly, as if the ground was sinking, and then there was a roar, and both Ren and the horse fell into the trap. The pitiful howl suddenly rose into the sky with the dust in the pit. Through the smoke and dust, one could see that the pit was densely filled with sharpened wood. Anyone who fell in would have no chance of surviving.
It is indeed a scam! Use stones as markers to lure the Liang army generals into being deceived, thereby lowering morale and delaying the Liang army's attack. Li Li figured out the plan and broke out in a cold sweat, but now it was time for a fight. He quickly adjusted his mind, roared angrily, raised his head high, and flew his flying horse around the trap and rode straight into the rear. When the accompanying knights saw this, they also urged their horses to chase after him. Seeing that the strategy was ineffective, everyone rushed to escape. But when they got to the fence, the people inside didn't dare to open the door again because of the approaching horsemen behind them. The riders outside had no choice but to run for their lives along the fence. Li Li and other riders also rode along the fence, approaching and riding on the flanks. They fired arrows frequently, and the sound of snapping strings was like thunder. The people who panicked and didn't choose their way fell off their horses one after another.
When there were only two people left, one person jumped off his horse and injured his leg. He was on the ground unable to get up for a while. Li Li grabbed his belt with one hand, lifted him up and tied him with a rope, and threw him off the horse. The man screamed, and his armor scraped the ground, making a clanking sound. Only then did Li Li realize that he was arresting a young man.
After riding his horse for more than a hundred steps away from the fence, Li Li dismounted and took off the prisoner's coat and collar. He found that he was indeed a boy of about ten years old. He was about six feet tall, with a square face, broad brows, and... A martial spirit. Even though his legs and feet hurt, he still tried his best to stand up straight and looked at Li Li with wide eyes.
Li Li was curious for a moment and asked him: "Why are you going to the battlefield at such a young age?"
The young man listened to his question and said proudly: "I followed my father on the battlefield, and Captain Chiyang who was shot to death by you is my father!"
As soon as the words came out, he took out a short knife from his legs and feet and suddenly pounced on him. Li Li thought that he was unable to resist and was unprepared. He was caught off guard and was pressed to the ground by him and stabbed into his abdomen with a knife. But the young man had already exhausted all his strength with one pounce. Before he could continue to exert more force, the horsemen who followed him rushed over and chopped off his head with two knives. Blood sprayed on Li Li's face, but Li Li Regardless of this, he just held the young man's dagger tightly, his face pale.
Soon, the Liang people carried Li Li back to the military camp. Although Li Li was not dead, the dagger was inserted into his abdomen and he was seriously injured. It was difficult to stop the bleeding, but he soon developed a high fever. Li Jue felt very distressed after seeing this, and quickly took the cards to train him in the camp, but as a result, he could no longer participate in this battle.
But in Gaoling City, when he learned that Song Xian and his son had died in battle, Lu Bu was furious. These were old friends who had fought with him for several years in Shangdang. Who expected them to be here? He ordered that the gates could not be opened. The soldiers were dealt with according to the military law. The responsible official Du Bo was given fifty lashes, and the minor soldiers were given thirty lashes until their skin and flesh were torn. Seeing the blood-soaked appearance, the onlookers thought of Liang Qi's bravery, and their originally high fighting spirit became a little depressed at this time.
After another two hours, the heavy rain really came down. The Liang people in the east suffered a loss and looked for traps left in the rain. People did not dare to slack off and stepped up the construction of watchtowers and earth platforms under the fence.
it is more than words.
