The Nameless of the Common Clans

Early the next morning, when the Jingzhou Army attacked the city again, they found that it was much more difficult to attack the city. Yesterday, they could rush up to the city wall from time to time, but today the defenders were full of fighting spirit and dispatched troops everywhere without any sense of lust.

strangeness!

Chen Gong raised his head and looked at the city. Even if Cui Geng succeeded in seizing power, the generals in Nanyang should be resistant to him, and their combat power would only be weaker. It is impossible for this situation to happen.

Could it be that he was killed or failed to seize power and was imprisoned? Cui Geng should not be so incompetent.

It seemed like a miscalculation.

Chen Gong watched the battlefield ahead. Although Wenpin and Wang Wei had tried their best to attack the city, the morale of the Jingzhou army was not high. After several attacks, they failed to rush to the city, which made the morale of the Jingzhou army even lower.

The battle situation in front of him was completely opposite to what he expected. Chen Gong, who was originally quite confident in his strategy, was a little more worried. But what made him even more helpless was that just when he was unable to attack the city here, news came from the east. Zhang Liao's troops have already reached the boundary of Hengshan Mountain, which is only more than a hundred miles away. If Zhang Liao's army is allowed to enter Wancheng, the war against Nanyang will be over.

"Lord, tell the three generals that no matter what, we must stop Zhang Liao!" Chen Gong found Liu Bei and said seriously.

"Yes." Liu Bei naturally knew that the matter was urgent. If Zhang Liao came to the vicinity of Wancheng, it would definitely be a great boost to the morale of the Wancheng defenders. He immediately sent a message to Zhang Fei, asking Zhang Fei to stop Zhang Liao. After doing all this, Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and said: "Gongtai, then Wancheng..."

"Beat, order Generals Wenpin and Wang Wei to attack the city with all their strength!" Chen Gong gritted his teeth. Zhang Liao had come back. There was not much time left for them, and he noticed where his plan seemed to be. If he waited any longer, Zhang Liao might have already entered before the plan was completed, which he couldn't accept.

Liu Bei nodded, and immediately ordered people to go and deliver the order, asking Wenpin and Wang Wei to attack the city as soon as possible...at any cost.

He may not be as resourceful as Chen Gong, but years of experience in fighting tell Liu Bei that this may be the last chance in this war. If it cannot be broken, Nanyang will not be able to win.

"Gongtai." Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and considered: "We should make other preparations for this battle. I intend to move the people of these counties to Xiangfan. What does Gongtai think?"

Chen Gong was a little bitter, which meant that Liu Bei began to distrust himself. Although he did not show it, maybe Liu Bei was just planning for the future, but from this sentence, it was obvious that Liu Bei had lost confidence in himself.

Nodding silently, Chen Gong said: "My lord is right."

Liu Bei patted Chen Gong on the shoulder and told him not to think too much, and turned around and asked Liu Pan to supervise the matter. Even if the territory was not obtained in the end, the population would be obtained.

…

On the other side, Juan City is located at the foot of Hengshan Mountain. The armies of Zhang Liao and Wei Yan have arrived here, and they have also joined the troops sent by Zhu Sheng to report.

"Liu Bei is so brave!" After Wei Yan learned about this, his face darkened and he said to Zhang Liao: "General, I'll go meet him!"

"Don't be impulsive." Zhang Liao waved his hand, signaling Wei Yan not to be impulsive, and mused: "Liu Bei attacked the city, and our army's messengers can still come out, so Liu Bei obviously did not besiege the city. According to the intelligence sent by General Cui before, Liu Bei is going to Fan sent out an army of 50,000 people. Even if these soldiers and horses could not besiege the city, they could also block the main roads, but according to the messenger, they were not blocked when they came. "

Wei Yan was not stupid. He looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Is there an ambush?"

"You will know once you try it!" Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Order the scouts in the army to go and investigate. Our army will continue to move forward and first explore the surrounding layout."

"Here!" Wei Yan agreed, turned around and went to wait to investigate.

The army continued to move forward. In the evening, it reached the Duyang area. At the same time, the scouts who went to investigate also sent back news.

"General, when Bowang went to Xi'e, he found a large number of scouts, and there were indeed signs of large armies." Wei Yan hurried to Zhang Liao's side and bowed.

"Western Hubei?" Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said, "This is the only way our army must pass. If there is an ambush, they will be here!"

He has been running Nanyang for many years. When Lu Bu was in Nanyang, he took care of Nanyang. Zhang Liao was already familiar with the terrain around Wan County. There is no other way back to Wancheng, but it is suitable for the army to march. Only Xi'e is the way to go. The road is easier to ambush, and if the enemy sets up checkpoints, it will be more difficult for them to force their way through.

Therefore, Xi Hubei Zhang Liao must leave.

"Chang Wen, do you remember Bowangpo?" Zhang Liao looked at Wei Yan and smiled.

"Remember, this place is surrounded by hidden mountains in the south and Baihe River in the west. It has always been a battleground for military strategists." Wei Yan nodded and said. The so-called Baihe River originates from Qinchuan, flows out from Guanzhong, and intersects with the Han River. During this period, it will flow through the Feishui River. Xi'e is at the intersection of Baihe River and Feishui River.

"Hurry tonight and rush here overnight. I will set up an ambush here. You go explore the road early tomorrow morning and try to draw out the bandit army and lead them here. I will ambush them here!" Zhang Liao said with a smile.

Wei Yan understood, and immediately nodded in agreement. The soldiers of the three armies did not rest, and rushed to the Bowangpo area overnight. After setting up an ambush, Wei Yan led a vanguard in the early morning of the next day and rushed to the Xi'e area to explore the road.

On the other side, Zhang Fei and Ji Ling had already received the news when Wei Yan appeared. Zhang Fei couldn't help but cursed: "Why did Zhang Liao come back so fast?"

"You must have received military orders." Ji Ling said with a smile: "General, it seems that the soldiers and horses on this road are the vanguard of the enemy's path exploration. Do you want to take action?"

"Why don't you move?" Zhang Fei stood up with the snake spear and walked out of the tent and said: "After defeating him, let him lead the way for us to find the main force of Zhang Liao! I want to see what Zhang Liao is capable of! "

"Third general, my lord only asked us to guard against Zhang Liao, but did not ask us to attack!" Chen Dao frowned and said, Liu Bei's order was to stop Zhang Liao, not to take the initiative to fight Zhang Liao.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If we can defeat it, wouldn't we be on guard? When Zhang Liao gathers his troops again and comes, I'm afraid we will have already conquered Wancheng!"

"Third general, you should put the overall situation first, we can't afford to lose now!" Chen Dao looked at Zhang Fei and said solemnly.

"Uncle Zhi is so boring." Zhang Fei glared at Chen Dao impatiently, thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will leave five thousand troops and horses for you to support me. If there is any emergency, you can support us at any time. How about ?”

Chen Dao frowned when he heard this. Five thousand soldiers and horses sounded like a lot, but if Zhang Fei was really defeated, how could he stop him?

But Zhang Fei has made up his mind. Although Chen Dao is steady, he can't stop him. Among the entire Liu Bei army, there are only two people who can stop Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and Guan Yu. But now Chen Dao has no way to find Liu Bei's queen. To make a decision, he could only watch Zhang Fei and Ji Ling order their troops and horses to leave the camp in a mighty manner. Chen Dao could only order his scouts to closely monitor the battle ahead and be ready to respond at any time.

On the other side, not long after Zhang Fei and Ji Ling left camp and crossed the river, they saw Wei Yan leading his men and horses towards this side.

"You go fight him first. If you lose, use the horn as a signal, and I will lead my troops to kill him. I'll kill him and I'll be on my back!" Zhang Fei looked at the dust flying over there from a distance, worried that he would scare his opponent away when he appeared. Said to Ji Ling beside him.

"Here!" Ji Ling nodded in agreement, took a group of troops, and rushed towards Wei Yan.

The two sides met quickly and didn't say much. Wei Yan saw that the other side's troops didn't seem to be more numerous than his own, so he knew they were testing troops, so he didn't say much at the moment and just sent his troops to kill them.

Ji Ling also commanded the Jingzhou army to attack. The two troops were fighting in one place. The Jingzhou army was obviously not as brave as the Guanzhong army. After a short battle, it was already revealed that it was defeated. Wei Yan was in the chaos, commanding the battle while leading the troops. His personal guards kept looking for the enemy's elite troops to attack. After the two sides fought back and forth for a few times, Wei Yan discovered Ji Ling's general's flag. At this time, the Jingzhou army's formation was already in defeat. Even if Wei Yan led his own soldiers to kill Go up and go straight to General Ji Ling's flag.

Ji Ling was still trying to keep the battle formation stable when he suddenly saw a group of powerful men and horses rushing toward them. He was startled. When he looked up, he saw a general with a serious face. Zao, armed with a long sword, clashed back and forth among the rebellious army. Wherever he passed, there was no general who could unite.

"General Yunchang!?" The moment he saw Wei Yan, Ji Ling's eyes widened and his brain was a little confused. Why did Guan Yu run into the Guan Zhong Army's formation! ?

Soon, Ji Ling realized that although the characteristics of the two sides were similar, Wei Yan was still a little less powerful and domineering than Guan Yu. He was more brave, but not powerful enough, and did not have Guan Yu's breathtaking momentum.

Ji Ling was slightly relieved in his heart, but then he became furious. He pointed the three-pointed knife in his hand at Wei Yan and said: "You are a bold thief general. How dare you pretend to be General Yunchang? You must accept your fate!"

"ah?"

Wei Yan was a little confused after being scolded by Ji Ling, but when he saw Ji Ling coming towards him, Wei Yan got what he wanted and immediately started fighting with his sword.

The generals of both sides were fighting together. The two personal guards were worried that their generals would be besieged, so they came to fight in one place.

The main players on both sides of the field were frightened.

Wei Yannai is the leader of the younger generation in the Guanzhong army. Although he has few achievements, his martial arts skills are not bad. Ji Ling, as the first general under Yuan Shu in the past, has fought against Guan Yu. Although he lost, he can still survive several battles. Undefeated in ten rounds. Following Liu Bei these years, although his body has passed his peak, his martial arts has become more and more proficient. Except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Dao, few people in the army can resist him. But now he is A young general was killed inextricably, which made Ji Ling a little unhappy.

The two fought inextricably, but the Jingzhou Army lost faster without Ji Ling's command. Ji Ling glanced hastily and saw that his own soldiers had begun to rout on a large scale. He was shocked by the strength of the Guanzhong Army and did not dare to continue fighting with Wei Yan. After entangled, he feinted with his sword, turned his horse's head and retreated into the army, ordering people to sound the horn.

"Woo~"

Amidst the desolate horn sounds, dense footsteps sounded in the distance. Wei Yan raised his eyes and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a large number of Jingzhou troops were rushing towards this direction.

"There is an ambush, retreat!" Seeing that his goal was achieved, Wei Yan no longer struggled. Before Zhang Fei could arrive with his troops, he led his men and horses to retreat first, leaving the menacing Zhang Fei to escape.
