Yuan Shao walked in two steps in the dark, and was seen through by the Qingzhou generals, so he secretly dug a long trench around the camp in the camp, and made the soldiers guard on the trench. After a while, sure enough, Yuan Jun dug a dark way to the edge of the trench, and after opening it, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he poked his head out, and saw that the firelight reflected the trench brightly, and a knife light fell, screaming, and the head fell to the ground.

On the second day, outside Huang Zhong's camp, the heads of countless beheaded Yuan soldiers were hung. Yuan Shao was furious when he saw this, and Tian Feng said: "It is better to set up a stone machine to attack his camp on the top of the earth mountain, and then make the ambush army come out from the secret." ”

Yuan Shao followed, and then on the top of the earth mountain, set up stone machines and archers, and gave an order, and the cannon stones and arrows flew together. Huang Zhong's front camp was in chaos, and when the generals saw this, they withdrew the army of the front camp and went back. Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw it in a high place, so he ordered a large army to attack the camp, and a steady stream of soldiers poured out from the dark passage. Just about to line up, suddenly a horn came, looking up, in the middle of the camp in front, countless stone machines were waiting for it, only to see that the Qingzhou soldiers got the order, and they worked together to pull the stone cart, and the stone rain flew into the air, and flew straight towards the Yuan army. The Yuan army, which attacked the front camp from the tunnel, suddenly suffered numerous casualties. It turned out that Huang Zhong saw that Yuan Shao had really dug a secret road, and he set up a stone cart on the dirt mountain outside the camp, fearing that he would attack, so he also built a stone cart in the camp to prevent it.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao snorted angrily, waved his big hand, and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. But I knew in my heart that digging a dark path this time would be a waste of military strength. When Yuan Shao and Huang Zhong confronted each other here, the battle of Gaoliu also entered a white heat.

In order to take down Gao Liu, Chun Yuqiong used all the bold words he made in front of Yuan Shao. Regardless of the casualties of his own army, he repeatedly launched strong attacks. He saw that the commander of the southern city guard was determined, and he guarded the southern city like an iron bucket. So he abandoned the southern city and came to attack the eastern city. Dongcheng is Yan Zhi's town, although the means are not as good as Tian Yu's, but there is no problem at all in repelling Chun Yuqiong's attack. Originally, in siege warfare, the defending side had a great advantage. Otherwise, the art of war would not say that the siege of the city is the next step. Judging from the current situation, Chun Yuqiong's troops do not have an advantage, and the art of war says that ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple is divided, and he does not occupy one. Moreover, the army and the people in Gaoliu City are united, and they are fighting locally, so there is no shortage of food and grass, and there is no shortage of reinforcements. It can be said that the time and place are favorable, and basically all of them are accounted for. Chun Yuqiong originally thought that the small city of Gaoliu District could stop its army. In addition, with Yuan Shao's name, how dare the guards resist. But he never thought that Tian Yu would lead the army to help, which greatly encouraged the soldiers and civilians in the city, and felt that he was not given up by Liu Taifu and Qingzhou Liu Zhijun. Since there is still hope, it is natural that it will not give up easily. And Gao Liu is located in the border area, and has always advocated force, where would he be afraid of Yuan Jun?

This fight back and forth, attacking for ten days in a row, Chun Yuqiong's department suffered countless casualties, but Gaoliucheng still stood safely. Chun Yuqiong came out with all his means, and saw that there was no way to take Gaoliu City, so he was furious in his heart, so he ordered the three armies: "On the day the city is broken, it will be plundered for three days!" When the armies heard this, they thundered with joy.

At this time, the only thing that can inspire the soldiers to fight to the death is these post-war rewards. The authority of the imperial court was gone, and the soldiers were born and died for the princes, and since they had taken this path and tied their heads to the belts of their trousers, they were naturally entitled to demand better treatment. It was a common method for soldiers to plunder wealth after entering the city. In history, Liu Bei attacked Yizhou, and when the war did not go well, he also promised his soldiers that after entering the city, they would let them take the property in the house. So the soldiers scrambled one by one and killed a bloody way out. escorted Liu Bei into Yizhou City. Liu Bei was okay, but he just said that the treasures in the treasury were shared by the soldiers. And Chun Yuqiong's three-day plundering is a very tragic method. At that time, whether it is the old, weak, women and children, whether it is the soldiers and soldiers in the city, their lives, families, property, and everything else will be sacked by the Jizhou soldiers, and if they resist, they will definitely die.

It was also a way for highly nervous soldiers to vent after a bloody killing. In this era, there is no such thing as a psychiatrist. And letting the soldiers release all their negative emotions on the enemy is also a very good way in Chun Yuqiong's opinion. Who made them choose to resist?

Just when the Jizhou soldiers under Gaoliu City turned into bloodthirsty beasts one by one, Liu Bei led the army to hurry over. He originally led the army to go straight to Bingzhou, but on the way, he met Zhao Yun's messenger, who told Tian Yu to guard Gaoliu, and he and Zhang Fei went to help Huang Zhong. Liu Bei got the letter, so he led the army to Gaoliu, wanting to see Tian Yu first and hear about the situation. In the middle of the line, suddenly the scout in front came to report, saying that a big battle broke out in Gaoliu, and there was a Yuan army, which was attacking the city.

Liu Bei heard this, fearing that Tian Yu would lose, so he asked Lu Bu to lead the cavalry in front, and he followed behind, and rushed to Gaoliu. Lu Bu led the state cavalry and galloped over, and Chun Yuqiong was attacking the city, and suddenly reported that there was a cavalry galloping behind the side. Chun Yuqiong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected, and then lined up in a formation to wait for the enemy.

The earth trembled lightly, the sound of hooves was like thunder, accompanied by a cloud of smoke and dust, Lu Bu led the army to Gaoliu City, Chun Yuqiong saw the banner, and secretly screamed bitterly, why did Lu Bu come.

Seeing that Lu Bu stopped far away, Chun Yuqiong took his horse out of the camp and went to narrate: "How did Wen Hou get here? ”

In terms of titles and positions and reputation, Chun Yuqiong is far inferior to Lu Bu. So the words are quite polite. Who would have thought that Lu Bu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and he didn't reply to words, but just led the army to stand quietly in the middle of the road.

Chun Yuqiong saw that Lu Bu ignored him, and anger grew in his chest. He didn't know that Lu Bu was urged by Liu Bei to come all the way, at this time, the whole army, including the mounts, was sweating like rain, and when he arrived here, he was seizing the time to recover his strength, where would he take care of Chun Yuqiong. And what kind of stupid question did Chun Yuqiong ask, didn't Lu Bu come here to beat you, did he still come to talk to you about friendship?

Chun Yuqiong was bored, and returned to the camp with his horse, and as soon as he returned to the camp, Chun Yuqiong shouted: "The sword and shield hands and pikemen are out of line, and the crossbowmen are lying on the left and right, waiting for the cavalry to attack, and then ten thousand arrows will be fired together, and the sword and shield men and pikemen will attack together, so that the enemy army can be broken." ”

After Lu Bu waited for the cavalry behind him to recover his breath, he didn't say much, waved his halberd, took the lead, and the generals followed him with their horses, led the cavalry, and rushed straight to Chun Yuqiong's camp.

When he was approaching the Chunyu Qiong array, Lu Bu suddenly shouted, and the galloping cavalry split into two from the front of the formation and swept diagonally. At the same time, a cloud of arrows rose from Chun Yuqiong's array, but most of them missed. The Bingzhou cavalry was like flowing water, separated in front of the Qiong formation, and rushed to the flank of the Jizhou soldiers.

At the same time, the bows and arrows in the hands of the cavalry of the state also became powerful. Between the lightning and the fire, Lu Bu's accurate judgment and command allowed the Bingzhou cavalry to take the lead, but all of Chun Yuqiong's arrangements fell through.

The war is unpredictable, and every small link has the potential to have a big impact. When the battle is about to go, whoever takes the lead will grasp the initiative on the battlefield. Now, the state ride has firmly occupied the initiative. The archers in the Jizhou army fired the first round of shooting, but the rain of arrows of the Bingzhou cavalry roared. In the screams, countless soldiers in the Jizhou army fell to the ground with arrows wailing.
