Before Zhao Yun set his eyes on Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren had noticed the majestic Cao General on the city wall early.

"Hundred Birds and Phoenix......" As a person who practiced martial arts under Tong Yuan's 'door', Zhang Ren naturally saw at a glance that the spear skills made by the other party were the Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear taught by his mentor Tong Yuan.

Seeing the other party's martial arts, then its identity jumped out.

"Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong...... Although Zhang Ren has never seen Zhao Yun, he also knows that he has a junior brother named Zhao Yun, and he also knows that his junior brother is a famous general in Cao Ying, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats and outstanding military achievements, and has an extraordinary status in Cao Ying.

Although he had thought that he would one day confront his junior brother on the battlefield, when this moment came, Zhang Ren still felt a little helpless.

At that moment, Zhang Ren had a bitter smile on his face, but then the bitterness quickly receded.

This is the normal state of the 'chaotic' world, and since the moment he stepped into the battlefield, Zhang Ren has had this awareness.

Zhao Yun's martial arts are really extraordinary, Zhang Ren only glanced at a few glances, and knew that his strength as a junior disciple had far surpassed his own.

Among the three disciples that Tong Yuan accepted at the beginning, Zhang Ren had a strong understanding of 'sex' in the art of war, but his progress in martial arts was extremely slow, and his strength was also the weakest among the three disciples.

There are not many lieutenant generals in Shu, and Zhang Ren has to deal with a lot of military affairs, and in recent years, he has been busy with military affairs, and his own martial arts have not been 'refined' much. In Cao Ying, good generals are like clouds, military affairs are shared, everyone's workload is not much, and Zhao Yun spends several times more time practicing martial arts than Zhang Ren.

When Zhao Yun became a teacher, his martial arts were already higher than Zhang Ren's, and now after more than ten years, the gap between the two sides is getting wider and wider.

Zhang Ren thought to himself, if he and Zhao Yun face to face, even if the two of them learned the same thing, they knew each other's tricks, but within ten times, he would definitely die.

However, Zhang Ren, as the supreme commander of the army in Shuzhong, has a calm personality that is not comparable to others, and in the face of an opponent whose martial arts are several times higher than his own, Zhang Ren will never be stupid enough to choose a heads-up way to send him to death.

"What about the casualties?" Sensing that Zhao Yun was looking at him, Zhang Ren turned his head and asked the deputy general beside him.

"So far, about 700 soldiers have been killed in the battle, and more than 260 have been seriously wounded and can no longer fight." The adjutant general heard Zhang Ren's inquiry, and replied after estimating the situation on the battlefield for a while.

Nearly 1,000 casualties? It seems that the difficulty of Mianzhu City is beyond what he expected before, and it is only a small half a day's effort, and it has already produced a loss of nearly 20%.

However, even so, the situation was still on their side, although their own side had suffered a lot of casualties, and even the offensive had been hindered to a certain extent, but the defenders of the city also suffered this considerable loss.

Maybe Mianzhu City can't be breached today, but Zhang Ren is confident that under the attack of himself and Yan Yan, within three days, Mianzhu will change hands again, and if Yan Yan's offensive goes well, maybe this period can be shortened.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The situation on Zhao Yun's side is tight, and Gao Shun is also in great distress.

Although the soldiers under Yan Yan were inferior to Zhang Ren's troops in terms of number and combat effectiveness, the troops trapped in the camp around Gao Shun were also much less than those on Zhao Yun's side.

Although the combat effectiveness of the camp is more powerful than that of the assault battalion, in the final analysis, the garrison strength of Nancheng at this time is only a little more than a thousand, and in the face of the repeated impact of Yan Yan's army, the pressure faced by Gao Shun will only be heavier than that of Zhao Yun.

Another group of enemy soldiers rushed to the top of the city, although they were quickly stabbed by the trapped sergeants with spears, but the endless offensive of the other side also made these experienced 'elite' soldiers feel a little tired.

Li Yan stood beside Gao Shun, looking at the Yizhou soldiers who were constantly climbing up, Li Yan's face was 'showing' bitter.

He betrayed Yizhou, although he persuaded himself with a very high-sounding reason at that time, saying that it was for the sake of the 'life' of the soldiers in the city, but Li Yan also knew in his heart that the surrender was just because of his greed for life and fear of death.

The most ironic thing is that a few days after his surrender, Mianzhu City was surrounded by Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, originally Cao Jun captured Mianzhu after occupying a favorable advantage, as a surrendered general, and after the Cao army occupied Yizhou, even if he did not reuse himself, he would not be too harsh. But after Yan Yan arrived, the situation faced by Cao Jun suddenly changed from an advantage to a disadvantage, or the worst kind, which made Li Yan feel depressed in his heart, if Cao Jun was defeated, what face would he have to face the old master Liu Zhang after he was captured? As for the counterattack, knocking down Gao Shun to recapture Mianzhu and return to Liu Zhang's account, this is not the ending that Li Yan can hope for, he wants to have no soldiers now, Gao Shun is also wary of it, how can he succeed with his own strength?

Li Yan knew very well that Gao Shun took Li Yan with him when he was guarding the city, but it was not because he valued himself, but because he was really relieved. Now there are hundreds of Yizhou troops in the city, which is an unstable factor in Mianzhu City, although two hundred soldiers are sent to guard it, Gao Shun will still worry about what happens. Therefore, Gao Shun is not at ease to let himself stay alone in the city, at least without his own commander, even if there is a change in the hundreds of troops, its impact and harm will be much reduced.
