Chapter 955: Zhang Xiu called the formation

Under Guan Yu's order, Zhang Xiu naturally did not hesitate, and immediately raised his gun to attack, and then the three thousand foot soldiers around him followed Zhang Xiu closely and ran to the front of the battle, intending to show off his might under the city first.

Calling for battle before the battle is nothing more than belittling some enemy troops in terms of momentum first.

Zhang Xiu is known as the king of guns in the north, and he is originally a native of Wuwei County. He was the son of the hussar general Zhang Ji. He was also a warlord who seized Wancheng in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty. He is the representative of Liangzhou Haozu Group.

It's just that the current Zhang embroidery is very different from the Zhang embroidery in history.

Zhang Xiu was originally following his father Zhang Ji under Dong Zhuo, and he has been messing around in Xiliang, and his position is not high, nor is it low.

With the fall of Dong Zhuo, Zhang Ji also became an independent Xiliang Army in disguise.

Then the dispute between Han Sui and Ma Teng made Zhang Ji choose to rejoin the imperial court early, after all, when Dong Zhuo betrayed the imperial court, some of his subordinates were still unwilling.

Zhang Xiu is one of them, and later Zhang Xiu took refuge in Liu Bei, and slowly became a rare member of Liu Bei's fierce generals.

Liu Bei saw Zhang Xiu's strength and knew that Zhang Xiu was not weak, so he would rest assured and boldly let Zhang Xiu follow Guan Yu to attack Zhang Lu.

When Zhang Xiu stood up from the battlefield and gradually appeared under the city of Nanzheng, Zhang Lu's expression on the city tower was a little gloomy.

"The people in the city, dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"Your grandfather Zhang Xiu is here, don't you go out of the city and die soon!"

Zhang Xiu stood alone and on a horse, standing under this Nanzheng City, shouting loudly at the city tower, shouting like this, it was just a passing scene.

Zhang Xiu didn't think that Zhang Lu on the city tower was so stupid that he really sent people out of the city to fight, after all, it was not good to defend standing on the city tower, and it was a fool to go out of the city to fight.

Originally, Zhang Lu on the upper floor of this city was indeed like Zhang Xiu said, planning to close the door and let these enemy troops call for battle.

Anyway, no matter how Guan Yu scolded the city, he wouldn't lose a few hairs, and scolding them would have no effect on Zhang Lu.

But Zhang Lu is reluctant to go out of the city, which does not mean that Liu Zhang, who came here to supervise the war, is unwilling.

Liu Zhang came here to give the court a good look, so that the people of the court should not underestimate Yizhou.

Liu Zhang had a seat on the city tower, and while eating fruit, he listened to Zhang Xiu's call under the city, and then glanced at Zhang Lu beside him coldly.

This is why he asked Zhang Lu with no good look.

"Zhang Lu, the people under the city are calling for battle, why don't you send men and horses down to fight him?"

Liu Zhang had some doubts.

Zhang Lu was slightly embarrassed, hesitated at Liu Zhang, and replied.

"Childe, it's not that I don't want to go out of the city to fight with that Guan Yu, but I'm worried that this is Guan Yu's trick, once we send people out of the city, Guan Yu takes the opportunity to charge, and it will be difficult for us to come back again."

Zhang Lu This is just one of the reasons, more importantly, Zhang Lu does not have a powerful general, if he really goes down to fight with Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, Zhang Lu has no certainty of victory, in that case, wouldn't going down be to die.

"What are you afraid of, the other party dares to call a battle here, just to look down on us, are you still afraid of him just a Guan Yu? Not to mention that it is a young general under Guan Yu, even if Guan Yu personally comes here to call the formation, I am not afraid, who is the person who called the formation under the city? ”

Liu Zhang has been here for several days, and he has never seen any fighting scenes, so he wants to see the confrontation between the two armies on the battlefield.

"That person calls himself Zhang Xiu, and he is a general under Guan Yu's tent!"

Zhang Lu answered truthfully at Liu Zhang.

After Liu Zhang listened, he turned his head and glanced at his subordinates.

"How many of you, do anyone dare to go down and fight with that embroidery?"

Behind Liu Zhang, there were several generals belonging to Liu Yan, and these people were all brought by Liu Zhang from Chengdu.

are all more important generals under Liu Yan, and Liu Zhang also believes in them.

At the same time, he also wanted to test the strength of these people around him to see if he could fight with Guan Yu's soldiers and horses.

The people standing behind Liu Zhang were all eager to try, but before they could speak, they were interrupted by a slightly older general.

"Zhang Xiu?"

This person opened his mouth and called Zhang Xiu's name, which immediately attracted the attention of Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others.

Liu Zhang glanced at this guy, but immediately recognized this person.

"Zhang Ren, do you want to fight?"

Liu Zhang glanced at the person in front of him, and thought that Zhang Ren wanted to go out of the city to deal with Zhang Xiu under the city.

"Childe, it's okay for me to fight, after all, Zhang Xiu, for me, it's not difficult, and I'm familiar with him."

Zhang Ren opened his mouth to say a word, which immediately made Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and the others stunned.

immediately looked at Zhang Ren with a curious look and asked.

"Hey, Zhang Ren, do you know that embroidery? How's this guy's strength? ”

As soon as Liu Zhang heard that Zhang Ren said that he knew Zhang Xiu, he immediately felt curious.

Zhang Ren really knew Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu, when they were young, were both disciples of the Spear Saint Tong Yuan.

Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu both learned art under Tong Yuan, learned such a martial art, and the two have been friends for a long time, but since the teacher left Tong Yuan, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren have no contact.

I didn't expect that when we met again, it would be on the battlefield.

"Childe, this embroidery, a few years ago with me under the gun king Tong Yuan to learn art, speaking of which we are also brothers, the relationship is not bad, but there is no father and son on the battlefield, although we are brothers, but each is its master, and now we meet again, it is also a kind of break."

Zhang Ren himself is more loyal, and he did not plan to show mercy to Zhang Xiu's men on the battlefield because of Zhang Xiu's identity.

Since each is its own master, and they meet on the battlefield, it is natural to divide the winner and loser.

On the one hand, Zhang Ren also wanted to check whether his junior brother had wasted his martial arts in the past few years.

"Okay, since it's your acquaintance, then it's up to you to fight, Zhang Ren, you can remember it for me, don't embarrass me, kill the enemy, I will be rewarded!"

After Zhang Ren asked for his order to fight, Liu Zhang categorically had no reason to refuse.

Liu Zhang originally wanted to mix up some credit at this time, and having Zhang Ren take the initiative to attack can also bring some fun to this calm and boring life, so why not do it.

"The last general commands!"

Zhang Ren said, took his gun and planned to go out of the city.
