In the early morning of the next day, Lü Bu ordered Zhang Liao to take Song Xian and Hou Cheng and lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to Guo Yan's camp to call for battle. He allocated 10,000 horses to Jun Sima and asked him to stay in Dazhai, while he led the remaining 20,000 troops to Li Wei's camp.

Li Wei was drinking with Jia Xu in the camp, and heard a report from his cronies that Lu Bu led the army to call for war outside the village. After he heard this, he waved his hand at his cronies and said casually: "I know, when Lu Bu retreats, he will report to me again." ”

This was more than an hour, and Lu Bu never retreated. Jia Xu suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Li Wei: "General, Jia Mou feels that something is wrong!" ”

Who knew that after hearing this, Li Dao said disapprehantly: "The military advisor is too worried. It must have been Guo Yan who had not known that Lu Bu had arrived outside the camp, otherwise he would have sent troops to harass his rear road. ”

Jia Xu put down the wine bottle in his hand and said to Li Wei with a serious expression: "General, the more Jia thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, let's go to the watchtower to see what is going on." ”

Hearing Jia Xu say this, Li Wei could only reluctantly say: "Since Jia Junshi said so, then let's go out and have a look."

The two climbed the watchtower, and Jia Xu looked outside for a while, and soon saw that something was wrong. He frowned and said to Li Dao: "General, there is really something wrong with Lu Bu today. You see, his soldiers and horses are only 20,000 at best, so where do the rest go? ”

Li Wei said in an uncertain tone: "Could it be that the rest of the people and horses are all staying in the camp?" ”

The general laughed. Jia Xu sneered and said, "Lu Bu knows that our army will not take the initiative to attack, and he must have been ready to attack the village a long time ago. How could they leave sixty percent of the soldiers and horses in the village? ”

Jia Xu's words made Li Dao think seriously, and he asked puzzledly: "Then according to the opinion of the military advisor, what is the purpose of Lu Bu's arrangement of troops like this?" ”

In response to this question raised by Li Wei, Jia Xu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Jia doesn't know. ”

At the same time that Jia Xu and Li Dao were having a headache because of Lu Bu's abnormal performance, Guo Yan also felt a headache when he saw Zhang Liao, who was calling for war outside the village. He summoned a group of subordinates to the tent and studied countermeasures: "Let's talk about it, how should we deal with Zhang Wenyuan, who is calling for battle outside the village?" ”

"General!" Hearing Guo Yan say this, a partial general immediately came out and said: "Although Zhang Liao is a cavalry captain, he has never led troops to fight. Don't see him showing off his power outside the village at the moment, as long as the general sends the last general to fight, he will definitely be able to behead him to dedicate to the general. ”

When Guo Yan heard the general say this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered him: "Since this is the case, then you lead 5,000 troops to meet the enemy, and you must behead Zhang Liao." ”

The self-confident general, when he heard that Guo Yan was going to give him 5,000 men, he waved his hand and said: "General, the last general will come out, and he won't need 5,000 men and horses, just 500 swords and axes from the headquarters." ”

Zhang Liao, who was shouting outside the village, was almost hoarse, and he didn't see anyone coming out of the village. is preparing to return to the formation and let Song Xian and Hou Cheng take over. Who knew that he had not gone far by turning the horse's head, and suddenly heard the sound of opening the gate of the village behind him, turned his head to see, and rushed out of the village a group of people and horses, lined up outside the village.

Seeing that there was an enemy general in battle, a smile appeared on Zhang Liao's face. He was about to ride his horse forward, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and turned his head to see that it was Song Xian and Hou Cheng coming up.

Song Xian hurriedly said: "Captain Caidu, this person will be handed over to the villain to deal with." ”

As soon as Song Xian's words fell, Hou Cheng immediately continued: "No, it's better to leave it to us." ”

Seeing that his two subordinates were about to argue about who to fight, Zhang Liao hurriedly stopped them: "Okay, don't fight, will Song Xian fight this battle?" ”

"Order!" Song Xian replied proudly, and rushed towards Guo Yan's general.

When he saw an enemy general rushing towards him, he wanted to ask for his name. Who knew that the other party didn't say a word, and directly stabbed with a gun, and the general hurriedly raised the knife in his hand to meet the battle. The partial general always thought that his martial arts were outstanding, and he didn't put Song Xian in his eyes at all, but when the blades of the two sides intersected, the big knife in his hand was almost shocked out of his hand. He hurriedly cheered up and used his strength to stand with Song Xian.

Although Song Xian was only Zhang Liao's subordinate, his martial arts were far superior to this partial general. After seven or eight rounds of fighting, he spotted a flaw in the opponent and stabbed him in the throat with a shot. After the general fell off his horse, he turned over and dismounted, drew his sword, cut off his head, and got on his horse again, ignoring the 500 soldiers who were arrayed outside the village. Instead, he directly turned the horse and came to Zhang Liao and gave him an order.

When Guo Yan heard that he was going to be killed by an unknown person under Zhang Liao, he was immediately annoyed and angry, and was about to go out to compete with Zhang Liao in person, but was stopped by a captain: "The general will extinguish the anger of the thunder, wait for his subordinates to go out, take Zhang Liao's head, and avenge the general." ”

Less than a moment after the captain left the horse, his own soldiers entered the account and reported to Guo Yanyu: "General Qiyu, the captain is engaged in a battle with an enemy general armed with a big sword. If you can't fight three times, you will be slashed by the other party. ”

Just lost a partial general, Guo Yan was already heartbroken, at this moment I heard that another lieutenant was folded in the hands of Zhang Liao's subordinates, and he was even more annoyed and angry, and hurriedly ordered to open the gate of the village, and he wanted to send troops to meet the enemy.

Zhang Liao, who was outside the village, saw that the camp gate of Guo Yan's camp was opened, and the sound of a horn came from inside, and he knew that the other party was preparing to go out of the village to meet the enemy. Not long after, I saw Guo Yan with a group of generals and captains out of Dazhai, followed by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

After the army finished lining up outside the village, Guo Yan used the weapon in his hand to point to Zhang Liao and others not far away, looked around and asked: "Who can take the mobile phones of these three people, seal the liehou, and reward ten thousand gold." As soon as his words fell, he immediately rushed out of the three generals and rushed to Zhang Liao and the others.

Song Xian and Hou Cheng were about to step forward to meet the enemy, but they were stopped by Zhang Liao: "Wait, you two will sweep the battle for me, and I will meet the three of them later." ”

Although Song Xian knew that Zhang Liao's martial arts were superb, after all, he had never been on the battlefield, and it was a bit too big to have one person against three people at the moment, so he carefully reminded: "Riding the captain, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, you are one against the three of them, I'm afraid I can't do it, let's go together!" ”

Zhang Liao waved his hand, and then urged the horse to meet him. Three generals of Guo Yan's army, one with a spear, one with a double knife, and one with a big axe, stepped forward to surround Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao fought alone with three generals, without the slightest timidity, but became more and more courageous. After five or six rounds of fighting, he stabbed the two-knife general on his horse with a single shot, and then returned his horse with a return pistol to dismount the axe-wielding general. The remaining one of the spear generals, seeing that his two companions were easily killed by Zhang Liao now, couldn't help but feel cowardly, and before he could turn his horse and flee back to his main position, Zhang Liao had already stabbed him in the abdomen with a shot, and pulled his body up hard, picking his corpse off the horse.

Guo Yan saw that the three men under his command would be killed by Zhang Liao, and hurriedly waved his weapon and rushed over. Although he was a fierce general under Dong Zhuo, he was not Zhang Liao's opponent, and after three rounds of fighting, Zhang Liao stabbed him in the throat with a shot. Guo Yan hurriedly lowered his head, but his helmet was picked off, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly turned his horse and fled back to his own position.

Zhang Liao swung his spear forward, allowing the army to cover up. Seeing Zhang Liao so brave, the Xiliang soldiers had long been frightened, but now when they saw the army rushing over, where did they dare to resist, and hurriedly turned around and fled towards the village.

Guo Yan had just fled into the village, and Zhang Liao's army also rushed into the village. In particular, Zhang Liao set his sights on Guo Yan, and clashed back and forth in Guo Yan's army alone, and everywhere he went, it was like entering a no-man's land. Guo Yan's foothold was unstable, so he could only abandon the stockade, take a dozen cronies, and flee for his life.
