Yan Liang was in the midst of a fight, when he suddenly felt a strong attack, raised his gaze upwards, and suddenly saw an extremely sharp knife slashing towards his head.

He suddenly took a deep breath, and hastily raised his sword to block.

"Zheng!"

With a loud noise, the blade directly hit his big knife, a huge brute force was like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, making it difficult for his arms to maintain, and it was quite strenuous.

"This guy's physical strength is so amazing?" Yan Liang secretly cried out in his heart.

Xu Chu missed the blow, quickly drew back the broadsword, spun half a circle in the air, returned to his hand, and slashed at Yan Liang with brute force again.

Only then did Yan Liang notice that it was Xu Chu who attacked him.Although he had never fought against Xu Chu, Xu Chu's two raids made him look at Xu Chu differently.What's more, Xu Chu is wearing heavy armor and his whole body is tightly protected, so he can't take advantage of it at all.

So Yan Liang turned his horse's head and retreated sharply to avoid Xu Chu's entanglement.

Xu Chu's second strike ended without a problem. Seeing that Yan Liang had run away, he went after him, but his horse was too heavy to run fast, and the way Yan Liang escaped was quickly filled by Yuan Jun.

In desperation, Xu Chu had no choice but to chop Yuan Bing with his sword, but he cursed bitterly in his heart: "You have no guts!"

Yan Liang didn't go far, but turned to another place. When he noticed Zhang Yan who was killing the enemy, his whole body was filled with blood, and he regained his energy.

Holding a steel gun, Zhang Yan was assassinating Yuan Bing, when he suddenly saw Yan Liang riding his horse towards him with a fierce look on his face, he frowned, mustered up his courage, raised his gun and stabbed at Yan Liang.

Yan Liang raised his broadsword, brushed aside Zhang Yan's stabbing spear, and took advantage of the momentum to slash towards Zhang Yan's wrist.

Seeing that Yan Liang's saber was steady and fast as lightning, Zhang Yan was startled when he saw that Yan Liang's saber was slashing towards his unprotected wrist.

Yan Liang raised his sword and blocked Zhang Yan's spear. The blade of the sword was attached to the spear and sliced ​​towards Zhang Yan's wrist with extraordinary speed.

Unable to dodge, Zhang Yan had no choice but to let go of the spear, and at the same time drew out the steel sword worn by his waist, directly holding Yan Liangsen's cold blade.

With his left hand, he picked up the spear that was about to fall to the ground, and stabbed at Yan Liang's heart.

Yan Liang was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhang Yan's reaction speed to be so fast, he hastily withdrew his sword, and directly pushed away Zhang Yan's spear.

"Shh!"

Zhang Yan raised the steel sword in his palm and slashed towards Yan Liang. At the same time, he retracted his spear and stabbed Yan Liang in the chest again, attacking from left to right!
Yan Liang blocked from the left to the right, and his defense was impeccable. With a big sword in his hand, he demonstrated his extraordinary martial arts skills.He blocked Zhang Yan's attacks several times in succession, his complexion gradually became gloomy, and suddenly he shouted loudly, the cold blade was as fast as lightning, pierced the sky, and slashed towards Zhang Yan's face with a mighty force .

This time, Zhang Yan took a deep breath. He was holding a gun in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. The door in the middle was wide open, allowing Yan Liang to enter.

It was too late to return to the defense, and seeing the sharp blade was about to slash, a gust of cold air rushed towards Zhang Yan, making his heart beat faster and his breathing difficult.Now, he couldn't dodge in time, and he could only pin his hopes on the steel helmet on his head.

So, he stretched his head forward, lowered his head, and swung his spear at the same time, sweeping towards Yan Liang.

It's too late, but it's fast.At this critical moment, an arrow flew directly over, and with a "ding" sound, it directly hit Yan Liang's blade. The arrow carried tremendous strength, which caused the blade to deflect a little.

The blade landed directly on Zhang Yan's head, and collided with the helmet on Zhang Yan's head, making a crisp sound of "Dang".

Zhang Yan only felt a huge brute force coming from the top of his head. Fortunately, his steel helmet was extremely strong, and there was only a trace of knife marks cut by Yan Liang's big knife.

Such a scene, even Yan Liang was taken aback, he didn't expect that his sword, which was also forged from fine steel, didn't split Zhang Yan's helmet in half!

Or if it wasn't for the sudden arrow that made his blade deviate from the track, he would definitely be able to chop Zhang Yan to death!

Now, it was too late to say anything, Yan Liang could only make up for the mistake just now, continued to exert force on his wrist, the blade was slightly sideways, and then slid down along the helmet, slashing towards Zhang Yan's shoulder.

The steel knife and the helmet made a "chi chi" friction sound, and slid towards his right shoulder. He immediately realized the danger, and hurriedly threw the steel gun in his hand away from Yan Liang's big knife.

At the same time, a steel gun shot towards Yan Liang at high speed. Yan Liang was taken aback, and hurriedly swung his knife to block it. The steel gun was so powerful that it almost knocked him off the horse.

At this time, a huge figure descended from the sky, wielding a big knife in his hand, and slashed at Yan Liang.

Yan Liang was taken aback, and hurriedly drove his horse back.

With a sound of "Boom", the huge figure landed on the ground, with a horizontal knife on its chest, a pair of tiger eyes glared at Yan Liang, and shouted to Zhang Yan behind him: "The subordinate is one step late, and the lord is frightened!"

It was Xu Chu who came. He killed more than a dozen Yuan soldiers and was looking for Yan Liang. He accidentally saw that Yan Liang was fighting with Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan was very dangerous. He threw it over, and rode his horse to fight Yan Liang at the same time, but when he encountered a few Yuan soldiers blocking the way, he supported the saddle with both hands, and he stood on the horse's back, jumped forward, and rushed directly at Yan Liang.

"Whoosh!"

A feathered arrow flew obliquely and shot directly at Yan Liang's face. This made Yan Liang, who had just stood firm, panicked. He hurriedly lowered his head, and the arrow flew past his head, and even shot down his helmet. , and the archer is Tai Shici.

Seeing that he was in a dangerous place, Yan Liang turned his horse's head and retreated into the middle of Yuan Jun, never to find him again.

Zhang Yan still had some lingering fears when he thought of the scene of fighting with Yan Liang just now. If he hadn't been wearing a helmet on his head, he would have been beheaded by Yan Liang with a single blow.

Fortunately, there was no danger.Zhang Yan regained his composure and immediately ordered a fierce attack on Yuan Jun.

Yuan Jun's cavalry fought with Xuzhou soldiers for a while, and suffered heavy losses. In the end, they retreated quickly, trying to avoid close combat with Xuzhou soldiers, and relying on bows and arrows to shoot.

But the Xuzhou soldiers put the heavy cavalry at the forefront, and the light cavalry on both wings always hid behind the heavy cavalry and charged towards Yuan Jun.

Seeing that Yan Liang, Zhang He, Han Meng and others were leading the cavalry to retreat, Yuan Tan immediately ordered the archers to release arrows and cover the cavalry with arrows.

With one order, Yuan Jun fired all his arrows, and the arrows rained like rain. The heavy cavalry were not afraid of the arrows and kept them out, but the light cavalry such as Tai Shici and Xu Sheng lost their protection. Seeing the enemy's arrows raining like rain Don't dare to approach easily.

Zhang Yan then ordered the whole army to retreat, whether heavy cavalry or light cavalry, all retreated.

Seeing that the Xuzhou soldiers were about to withdraw, Yuan Tan asked Yan Liang, Zhang Yun, and Han Meng to lead the cavalry to chase them again. The Xuzhou soldiers ignored them and just retreated blindly.

The Xuzhou soldiers retreated while fighting, and retreated for several miles in a row. Then they stopped suddenly, and suddenly the whole army went to kill Yuan Jun.

The heavy cavalry charged, the light cavalry scattered on both wings and outflanked, and the bows and arrows flew back and forth between the two armies.

After a while, Xuzhou soldiers surrounded Yuan Jun's cavalry.When Yan Liang, Zhang He, Han Meng and others saw that the situation was not right, they immediately withdrew their troops, but were chased by Xuzhou soldiers for more than two miles.

In the end, Zhang Yan announced the withdrawal of his troops, and tried the Mongolian army's style of play, basically achieving some results.

Seeing that the Xuzhou soldiers had gone far away, Yuan Jun stopped chasing them and began to withdraw his troops back to the camp.

Zhang Yan and others returned to Zhuxu City, took off their battle armor, and prepared to take a good rest.But Yuan Jun never retreated, which caused Zhang Yan a headache.

In the evening, Zhang Yan came to Zhang Hong's room in person, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

When Zhang Hong heard someone knocking on the door, he asked, "Who is it?"

"Me!" Zhang Yan said loudly outside.

Hearing Zhang Yan's voice, Zhang Hong immediately came to open the door and invited Zhang Yan to come in and sit down.

After the two sat down, Zhang Yan said: "Military Master, in the past few days, our army and Yuan Jun have won each other, but I have never been able to drive him away. After much deliberation, I decided to come to the military adviser. I hope that the military adviser can plan a strategy for me that will make Yuan Jun frightened in a single battle."

Zhang Hong thought for a moment, and then said: "Master, Yuan Jun intends to stay in Qingzhou, and he will definitely not retreat easily. Now most of Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Jun, only Kong Rong will not surrender, and with Kong Rong's influence, As long as Kong Rong speaks, people who are willing to die for him will flock to him. This is why Yuan Jun has always wanted to drive Kong Rong out of Qingzhou. Our army has few soldiers. How cheap is it? It’s better to take a slanted sword and retreat to advance!”

"Advance by retreat? Can you ask the military adviser to speak clearly?" Zhang Yan asked doubtfully.

Zhang Hong said: "My lord can leave Zhuxu City with Kong Rong and others first. Seeing my lord retreating, Yuan Jun will definitely send troops to follow up and come to investigate. When Yuan Jun is really sure that my lord is retreating, he will relax his vigilance. Wait for our army to arrive At the junction of Xuzhou and Qingzhou, my lord will lead the army back and forth, and suddenly attack Yuan Jun, and he will certainly be able to defeat Yuan Jun in one fell swoop."

After Zhang Yan heard this, he felt that the plan was feasible, so he clasped his fists and said, "Military master's clever plan, I will arrange everything right now."

Zhang Hong said: "My lord, don't act too hastily. This matter needs to be discussed with Kong Rong. Otherwise, if he doesn't know that this is the lord's plan, he will definitely refuse to leave. In addition, the lord should write another letter and send someone to deliver it." Go to Yuan Jun's camp and tell Yuan Tan that our army has no intention of making him an enemy, but that we have come to rescue Kong Rong out of loyalty, and also tell Yuan Tan that Kong Rong has been persuaded by the lord and will leave Qingzhou. In this way, Yuan Tan will definitely send someone to closely monitor our army's movements in order to make Yuan Jun relax."

"Okay, just do as the military adviser said."

After Zhang Yan came out of Zhang Hong's room, he went straight to see Kong Rong and explained his strategy to Kong Rong. After hearing this, Kong Rong didn't have any opinion, but supported Zhang Yan's strategy of retreating to advance.

Kong Rong informed Liu Bei and others of this strategy, telling them to be prepared to retreat at any time.

But Zhang Yan asked Zhang Hong to write a letter to Yuan Tan, and asked Tai Shici to shoot an arrow into Yuan Jun's camp.

As the sun set and the twilight merged, the lights gradually rose in Yuan Jun's camp.

Suddenly, a horse came galloping from the west, and when he was about to reach Yuan Jun's camp, he suddenly took out his bow and arrow, drew the big bow, put on the arrow, and shot towards Yuan Jun's camp.

Yuan Jun soldiers found the arrow and there was a letter on it, so they immediately handed the letter to Yuan Tan.

After Yuan Tan received the letter, he glanced through it in a hurry. He smiled happily and laughed loudly: "That's great! It's really great! I knew Zhang Yan wouldn't be able to hold on for long!"

Seeing that Yuan Tan was so happy, Guo Tu asked, "My lord, what happened so far to make my lord so happy?"

Yuan Tan handed the letter to Guo Tu, Guo Tu read it quickly, frowned, and said to Yuan Tan: "My lord, the Xuzhou soldiers retreated suddenly, could there be any deceit?"

Yuan Tan also frowned, and asked, "If there is any fraud, I will find out by sending someone to investigate."

Therefore, Yuan Tan sent scouts to pay close attention to Zhu Xucheng's situation.

Early the next morning, the scouts came back to report, telling Yuan Tan that the people of Zhu Xucheng, under the cover of Xuzhou soldiers, followed Kong Rong and began to retreat to Xuzhou.

After Yuan Tan heard this, he was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly called Yan Liang and Zhang He, ready to lead his troops to attack.

Guo Tu stopped him and said: "Zhang Yan withdrew his army, but he sent a letter ahead of time. Maybe it was just an illusion, deliberately leading our army to attack, and then maybe the Xuzhou soldiers ambushed in the middle of the way. What's more, the Xuzhou soldiers have the best soldiers." Li, once the soldiers meet, our army will not be in an advantage, so why not let the Xuzhou soldiers go!"

Yuan Tan felt that what Guo Tu said was reasonable, so he stopped ordering the pursuit, but sent scouts to follow him and report to him at any time.
