In the evening of the next day, Xinye County, which had just been quiet for a day, was noisy again, and the 30,000 troops of Jingzhou re-settled in Xinye County under the command of Wen Ping.

Seeing the Xinye County Order released from the prison talking eloquently in front of him, Wen Ping thought for a moment and asked suspiciously: "Pan County Order, do you mean to say that Wang Li and the others have just been gone for almost two hours?" ”

Pan Xian Ling straightened his clothes and bowed to Wen Ping: "Dashuai, Pan has been trapped in prison by Wang Li's dog thief, and I am not sure if they have only been gone for two hours, but I just infer it from the movements in the county office." If you want to know if they are going far, you can go to the county and ask! ”

"Report!"

As soon as the Pan County Order finished speaking, a scout team had already rushed to the hall, "Commander Qiqi, the last general found the traces of Wang Li's army outside the city and the smoke and dust in the distance, according to the last general's speculation, they are only thirty or twenty miles away from here..."

"And what about the news in the city?" Without waiting for Wen Ping to ask, Liu Pan had already come out of the crowd and interrupted the team's words in a hurry.

It is said that the army has its own discipline in the army, and Liu Pan's behavior can be regarded as overstepping his authority. However, this really can't be blamed for him being so presumptuous, after all, he wants revenge so much to prove himself again.

The previous time, he waved his army north, a full 5,000 Jingzhou elites, but he was accidentally ambushed by Wang Li for a while, and 1,000 people ate his entire army, and almost took his own life, and also made himself a laughing stock in Xiangyang City!

He was also a general who had been crisscrossing Jingzhou for several years, and he was also a seven-foot man who was 'a man to the point of death', how could he tolerate the basin of a defeated general on his head?

Therefore, this time, he still followed, and became a striker under Wen Ping!

Wen Ping glanced at Liu Pan, just frowned, and didn't say anything.

The team leader hurriedly bowed his hand to Liu Pan and said, "General Hui, the last general has already found some people to check this matter just now. They all said that about two and a half hours ago, Wang Li's army began to march from Xinye County, and every quarter of an hour, they would go out of the city with a team of about 1,000 people each, and a total of more than 4,000 people before and after! ”

More than 4,000 people?

Hearing this, Liu Pan seemed to be slapped by Wang Li again, more than 4,000 people, especially 3,000 people here are his troops!

Liu Pan's face was red like a fighting, and he looked at the handsome man in the hall with a red face, and his eyes were full of monstrous battle intent: "Big handsome, please allow the last general to lead his athletes out of the city to pursue, and the last general will use the heads of Huang Zhong and Wang Li to wash away the shame on his body!" ”

"Zishen, Zhong Miao, what do you two think?" Wen Ping nodded, glanced at the generals on the left and right, and asked.

It turned out that Liu Pan was defeated and Xinye was captured, and Liu Biao was very panicked in his heart, but he also showed unprecedented indignation. Not only did he recall Wen Ping from Zhuyang overnight, but he also directly appointed Wen Ping as the commander, Liu Pan, Huo Jun, and Wang Wei assisted him, and led an army of 30,000 to come directly from Xiangyang. The Cai Mao brothers, Zhang Yun and Huang Zu and other sailors stayed in Xiangyang.

Huo Jun paced in front of the hall and arched his hand: "Marshal, the last general has never dealt with Wang Li, but I have heard of his name for a long time, and I heard that his people are cunning like foxes, and the use of soldiers is also strange. The last general was not worried about his troops, but he was worried about what he would leave behind.

In the previous battle, Liu Duwei returned with a heavy defeat, and Wang Li directly swallowed 3,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and the number of troops under his command suddenly rose to 4,000. And there are also Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, who are no less than the two of them.

The last general is not to increase the morale of others to destroy their prestige, this Zhao Zilong and Huang Hansheng can be regarded as first-class generals in the world, and the last general still suggests that the marshal should be cautious, step by step, and not rash. ”

Wang Wei also came out of the class and said: "Handsome, what Zhong Miao said is very true. Although Wang Li's troops are insufficient, his people are insidious and cunning, and he has hidden a thousand elite soldiers in my Xinye before, which can be seen at one end.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Libing's retreat from Xinye should be about quietly returning to Luoyang from Nanyang. Why didn't the marshal unite with the defenders of Nanyang, and our two military horses launched at the same time, attacking Wang Li in two phases, forming a trend of catching turtles in the urn, and taking Wang Li in one fell swoop? ”

Wen Ping nodded and said: "When this commander left Xiangyang, he had already sent people to Nanyang, if everything goes well, I am afraid that the Nanyang garrison has now sent troops and is rushing to Xinye." ”

"Report!"

As soon as Wen Ping's voice fell, he saw a personal guard break in from outside the yamen, his steps were messy and hurried, "Qiqi Marshal, according to the report from the spies: A fire broke out twenty miles south of Nanyang, and the fire was full of smoke, and it could still be seen dozens of miles away!" ”

Everyone looked directly at the scout: "A fire broke out outside Nanyang City? ”

The guards nodded, the faces of the generals were full of joy, Wen Ping Huo Ran stood up, the long sword in his waist was unsheathed, and a sword slashed on the table in front of him, and shouted: "It seems that the defenders of Nanyang have sent troops to Xinye according to the agreement, and they are fighting with Wang Li's army on the way."

This commander's order: Liu Pan is the vanguard of our army, leading 8,000 elites to pursue Wang Li along the way, opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water. Huo Jun led 5,000 strong soldiers to defend Xinye, arrest spies, and stabilize our rear army. Wang Wei and the rest of the generals and colonels will follow me to sit in the Chinese army, and the sword will guide Yang, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"No!"

All the generals shouted in unison and came out with their fists clenched.

……

The scout was right, Bowangpo, twenty miles south of Nanyang City, was indeed a fire.

However, this fire was not set by the defenders of Nanyang, but by Huang Zhong, Ma An, Niu Wei and others. It is also the will of God, Ma An and Niu Wei have just been burned by the fire in the new field, and in the blink of an eye, they have become arsonists in the eyes of the Nanyang defenders.

Listening to the continuous screams in the forest, looking at the blazing flames in front of him, and the soldiers under his command fleeing in embarrassment in the flames, Zhang Yi, the new captain of Nanyang, had eyes like copper bells, his heart was like drops of blood, and his big hands holding maces trembled to himself.

"Captain, let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late! The guard beside him shouted at Zhang Yi, waking Zhang Yi up from a moment of distraction.

Seeing that the five thousand military horses under the tent had lost nearly forty percent, Zhang Yi shook his head at the guards beside him: "He Kai, Captain Bendu knows that you are loyal and dedicated to maintaining Captain Bendu, and in your eyes, Captain Bendu is your sky." But, do you remember when I waited to get up and be reckless?

At that time, we followed Zhang Mancheng of Taiping Road to revolt, and as a result, Zhang Man became the Taishou Qin Jie of Nanyang at that time and killed, and we scattered and fled to the rivers and lakes. It was these brothers who were closely guarding us and ensuring our safety. When we were wandering in Jingzhou, it was also these brothers who never left us. ”

"But, Captain..."

"No, over the years, the brothers who followed us at the beginning have changed from thirty-six whirlwinds to eighteen iron horses, and now, these eighteen iron horses are also trapped in flames, how do you let me go? Where are you going?

You think that Captain Pontus is your heaven, but you don't know that you are also the land under me in my eyes. It is said that the place where the sky stands is a man, light

There is no heaven and no earth, how can you let me stand firm? ”

He Kai's tears had already fallen from his eyes: "Du Wei..."

"What are you crying about? Isn't it true that a man's husband died on the battlefield and returned to the same place with his brothers? ”

Zhang Yi freed up one hand, patted He Kai's shoulder, suddenly shouted angrily, clamped his legs, suddenly pulled out his hands, and raised the mace above his head and rushed into the fire: "Ma An and Niuwei, you two are dead, and you will return my brother's life!" ”

People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, but maces are like thunderbolts.

In the firelight, the mace had fallen from mid-air, and Ma An's long knife flew horizontally to meet the mace above his head. "When"! Jin Ge roared like thunder, the two soldiers met each other, and the mace in Zhang Yi's hand had hit the long knife in Ma An's hand. Ma An shook on the horse's back, almost fell off the horse, and the long knife in his hand could barely hold it.

Then, another thunderclap exploded in his ears, and a long knife flew in front of Ma An and slashed at the mace, freeing Ma An from his distress. Ma Anji saw that it was his good brother Niu Wei.

"The surname is Zhang, when you joined the anti-thief, it was not tolerated by the court, and most of your brothers died. I thought that you had changed your ways, but I didn't want you to still be a thief in your bones, and you dared to join forces with Liu Biao to surround the former general and plot against him.

Zhang Yi, even if you don't think about yourself, do you still want to watch the brothers around you die one by one? Niu Wei and Ma An glanced at each other, scolded Zhang Yi angrily, and then at the same time put the long knife in his hand and swooped at Zhang Yi.

A single stick is like a tiger, with the power of thunder; The double knife is like a dragon, hiding millions of stars; Three heroes of Angzang, three handsome war horses, and three murderous weapons turned like lamps, and a cold wind blew in the sea of fire in the forest.

As the saying goes: two fists are no match for four hands. After less than twenty rounds, Zhang Yi had gradually fallen behind, and suddenly heard an exclamation behind him, and his body suddenly felt like a heavy hammer, and he was knocked out of the field with his horse.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Two tooth-sour sounds came into his ears, Zhang Yi's heart trembled, how could he, who had been dancing on the tip of the knife all the year round, not know that this was the sound of a big knife into the bone? He tried his best to raise his head and looked at He Kai who fell under Ma An and Niu Wei's knives, his eyes immediately covered with a layer of tears, and even the two blood-colored roses on He Kai's chest became blurred.

"Captain, let's go, take my brothers away..."He Kai roared with all his might, cutting off his last breath.

Zhang Yi looked at He Kai for the last time with a trembling look, and then he and the guards and the remaining soldiers turned their horses and galloped in the direction of Nanyang, letting the tears float down their cheeks, not daring to wipe them away easily. The war horse galloped, the fireworks in the forest gradually faded away, and the wind on his face as he galloped was as cold as Zhang Yi's heart.

However, what Zhang Yi didn't know was that the closer he got to Nanyang City, the more his life was on the verge of extinction. Although he still has He Kai's hope, He Kai's hope obviously does not make Zhang Wenyuan approve.

More than 3,000 people will go to the outside of Nanyang City, the city gate has been visible in the distance, a bangzi sound sounded on both sides of the city, two people and horses crashed out from both sides of the city gate, as if two torrents of steel rushed straight over.

"Yanmen Zhang Wenyuan is here, Zhang Yi will die quickly!"

Among the two leaders, one of them held the Bright Moon Halberd, and the fast horse rushed into the formation, with an angry shout, the Bright Moon Halberd flew high and fell from the sky. A stream of blood spurted out from the crowd, and a huge head flew up.
