Peng Lin and they have more than 3,000 people here, relying on the favorable terrain and sufficient preparations in the early stage. Therefore, although Zhang Ju attacked for one night, he was still unable to move forward in the end. Under such circumstances, not only the look on Zhang Ju's face became more and more ugly, but also the generals around him began to feel a little anxious. Zhang Ju had no choice, and he couldn't directly order the withdrawal of the army, after all, now the life and death of the whole army depended on it.

And under his encouragement, the soldiers of Liangzhou also understood the importance of this place, so the attack was naturally more and more violent. Many people feel that what Zhang Ju said is very right, if this channel is not opened, everyone will not be able to return to Guzang.

Early the next morning, when the battle at the mountain pass was raging, Zhou Tong and Hu Tian came from the mountain pass to the west.

In fact, they had already taken the mountain pass as early as the day before, but they had to deal with some other things, especially to get in touch with the Gulangxia Pass, so they waited until now to rush back.

When they arrived, Penryn increased his strength by another thousand. This is naturally a happy thing for the soldiers of the Huashan Army guarding here. However, the Liangzhou soldiers on the opposite side, after seeing that reinforcements from the Huashan Army had arrived, their morale was inevitably frustrated.

"It looks like the enemy is attacking like crazy!" Zhou Tong looked behind the barrier for a while, and then said to Peng Lin and Hu Tian.

"The trapped beasts are still fighting, they also understand that the current situation is already at a dead end, if they can't take this place back, they will most likely be trapped inside, how can they not be in a hurry!" Penlin replied.

"As a result, the pressure on us is much greater. An offensive method like theirs is also a big threat to our soldiers! In addition, the other two mountain passes must also be strengthened, so as not to force a breakthrough from there! Hu Tian frowned on the side and said.

"Yes, we trapped them in order to reduce our own losses. If, at this juncture, we suffer more casualties, it will be a bit impossible. Although casualties are always inevitable in war, if there are fewer casualties, it is a good thing! Zhou Tong obviously had this idea too.

"What's your opinion? Otherwise, we will send troops from several other directions, attack behind them, and force them to retreat. In this way, it can also make them have scruples and not attack here easily! Hu Tian looked at him and suggested.

"Why bother! Let it retreat, but something that can be done in a few words! Hearing this, Zhou Tong waved his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing him say this, Hu Tian and Peng Lin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then watched Zhou Tong walk in front of the barrier and shouted outside: "Please speak in front of General Zhang Ju Zhang!" ”

Not only did Zhou Tong shout, but after he finished shouting, the soldiers next to him also shouted in unison.

It was originally an obstacle to the fierce battle, but at this time, the style of painting suddenly changed. After hearing this voice, the Liangzhou soldiers who rushed up frantically couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then many people looked back at their backs in a daze, which was where Zhang Ju was standing.

Originally, this was a good time to attack, as long as the Liangzhou soldiers were distracted and released a wave of arrows, I am afraid that they would be able to kill and injure a lot of people. But Zhou Tong didn't do this, as if he wanted to show sincerity.

Zhang Ju was originally behind the battle, and when he was distressed by the reinforcements that the Huashan Army had just arrived, he suddenly heard this shout, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the barrier.

"General, don't go! This must be a trick of the Huashan Army, they must want the general to show up, and then suddenly carry out a sneak attack! Before Zhang Ju could speak, the general next to him stopped him first.

"That's right! If the general fails, the army will collapse in an instant without a leader! ”

"The general must not fall for the enemy, don't worry about his noise, you should order the army to continue the attack!"

......

The surrounding generals all spoke with the voices of persuasion. After hearing this, Zhang Ju himself was also a little scared, after all, this shooting in front of the formation was not unprecedented. Besides, I don't have any mutual trust with Huashan Army!

Just as he was about to give the order to continue the attack and ignore the shouts of the Huashan army, at this time, Zhou Tong on the opposite side shouted again: "General Zhang, Zhou Tong is here!" I dare to stand in front of the formation, do I still have to hide behind General Zhang? ”

Zhang Ju, who was originally determined to ignore it, couldn't help it when he heard this at this time. Especially on the other side is Zhou Tong, who used to block himself from Yuanwei County, and then played his own sworn enemy.

If you really don't show up in front of so many people, what will others think of you after it spreads?

Moreover, the two armies are holding each other, and this is a time to compete for morale, if he really doesn't show up as the main general, I'm afraid that the soldiers below will think that they are afraid of him. This will inevitably be a serious blow to their own morale.

"General, this is the enemy's method of agitation, and the general must not step forward!"

"Please think twice!"

......

The surrounding generals have repeatedly dissuaded him, but at this time, Zhang Ju already has a plan in his heart. On the one hand, he didn't want to show weakness, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see what Zhou Tong called him.

"You don't have to say more! General Ben has decided to go ahead and take a look! Command the shield-bearer to guard the perimeter! In addition, if I make any mistakes, the army will be led by General Yi! Zhang Ju raised his hand, stopped everyone's voices, and said lightly.

Everyone was going to persuade him again, but when they saw that he had made up his mind, they didn't say anything more. had to follow his orders, send a lot of soldiers, and use shields to surround Zhang Ju in the middle, and then slowly moved towards the front of the formation.

As a result, the two sides will not be able to fight a big war for a while. However, the army did not retreat, and in the end, Zhang Ju came to a place half a mile away from the barrier and stopped. And the Liangzhou army retreated behind him, thinking that it echoed the trend of the flank.

Zhou Tong in the barrier saw that they were so vigilant, and he knew what the other party was thinking. However, this is also a reasonable thing, so he did not laugh at the other party.

"Zhou Tong, General Ben is here! If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Zhang Ju arrived at the front of the battle, saw Zhou Tong in the barrier, and shouted.

"Hehe, I sincerely invite the general to talk about it in front of the battle! Unexpectedly, General Zhang actually spoke ill of him, could it be that the whole of Liangzhou is as rude as you~ rude people? Hearing this, Zhou Tong said coldly and scolded the other party.

"Hmph, General Ben doesn't compete with you for the benefit of your tongue, if you have something to say, if you have nothing to say, General Ben will continue to attack! Of course, if you want to surrender and beg for mercy, now is the right time, with your talents, you will definitely be reused by the King of Cold! Zhang Ju was said this, and he was suddenly angry in his heart, but he couldn't scold him again, after all, it was he who was rude first. So, at this point, I changed the topic directly.

This kind of thing is not uncommon to persuade you to surrender before the battle, on the one hand, you can hide your weakness, and on the other hand, you can take the opportunity to boost the morale of your own soldiers!

"General Zhang said the opposite, right? I should have said this to the general! I'm not going to talk about surrender today, though! Instead, I want to talk about the situation of General Zhang and all the soldiers behind him! By now, I believe you don't need me to say anything, you already understand. You have no other way to go, there is no way to go in the east, there is no way to go out in the west, and there is no way to go north and south! You can only be trapped in this place and never get out! Zhou Tong didn't argue with him about this, but said lightly.

Hearing this, Zhang Ju couldn't help but be speechless, and the Liangzhou soldiers behind him all showed complicated expressions on their faces. Some people even showed a look of despair, and an unspeakable aura of despair slowly began to permeate everyone.

"Zhou Tong, Hugh is talking nonsense! Do you think that with your little strength, you will be able to stop our 20,000 horses? As long as we work together and are not afraid of life and death, we will definitely be able to defeat you and regain this important way. When the time comes, how will you trap us? When Zhang Ju found this, he immediately screamed in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

This is not so much a rhetorical question, but more like a morale booster. Sure enough, after hearing this, the momentum of the Liangzhou soldiers behind them changed, and the breath of despair seemed to have suddenly turned into fighting spirit.

General Zhang's words are not unreasonable. But do you know that for the sake of your 20,000 troops, our general has ordered tens of thousands of troops to be mobilized from Qinzhou, Guanzhong, Anding and other places. These days, the army has been arriving one after another. You can't even take a small county seat, so what can you use against our tens of thousands of troops? The other party's words did not have any deterrent effect for Zhou Tong, he just replied lightly.

"What? Li Xin mobilized tens of thousands of troops to come? That's impossible! When he heard the news, Zhang Ju couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart was like a surging wave.

And the Liangzhou soldiers behind him, many of them were dumbfounded at this time. After all, the only thing he relies on is the advantage of numbers, and according to Zhou Tong's statement, I am afraid that this advantage will soon become a disadvantage.

"Zhou Tong, don't you want to lie to us! Who doesn't know that there are not many soldiers and horses in your Huashan army! Now all the soldiers and horses are attacking your Huashan army, Zhang Ping has an army of 50,000, and Yan has more soldiers and horses. The Xiongnu went south and threatened Guanzhong and other places, how could you still have tens of thousands of troops to attack us? I'm not going to fall for you! Thinking about it, he didn't seem to believe it, Zhang Ju said with a sneer.
