Xu Huang was speechless for a moment...

Han Xian, the general under his command, said: "Now let General Zhang go back and escort those grains, grass, and baggage, maybe it's still urgent." At least it should be destroyed, not left to the enemy. ”

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "No." Our army, tossing back and forth, has been out of array. Since the order has been given to withdraw the troops, it must be withdrawn, and if the order is changed overnight and they are allowed to go back, how will the military order be carried out in the future? Besides, Zhuge Liang never appeared, and Zhang Fei's gang did not appear, how many troops they have, we still don't know, how can they move lightly? ”

Han Xian said: "Judging from the battle just now, their troops should not be much, otherwise, how could they give up the camp to General Zhang Liao?" ”

"Let's wait until our army returns to the city. If the enemy does not have many troops, it will not be too late for us to send troops again. Xu Huang said.

Zhang Liao soon led his army back to the city.

After asking the reason, he was even more speechless than Xu Huang.

Zhang Liao said: "According to my guess, Zhuge Liang has a maximum of 1,000 soldiers in his hands, maybe more. The only general who stayed here was Zhang Fei, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I will lead the army to go again. ”

"Wait..."

Xu Huang said: "Since Zhuge Liang doesn't have many troops, let General Hu Cai lead 3,000 light horsemen to go, and the general doesn't have to go in person." saved Zhuge Liang from tricking again and forced the general to return to the city. ”

"Okay."

Zhang Liao was also a little tired.

Xu Huang called Hu Cai and gave him a combat mission. On this trip out of the city, not only to destroy Zhuge Liang's camp, but also to escort the grain, grass and baggage in the camp back to the city.

"The last general obeys!"

Hu Cai also knew that Zhuge Liang's camp was an empty village, and there was nothing to fear except for Zhang Fei.

Hu Cai led 3,000 light horsemen and returned to the battlefield.

On the high ground in the distance, after Zhuge Liang saw it, he called Zhang Fei: "Yide, the grain, grass and baggage in the camp are very important to us, we must not lose them, do you dare to face the battle?" ”

"Haha... Why don't you dare? Even if it's just me, I'll kill him without leaving a piece of armor! Strategist, you give the order! Zhang Fei was fearless.

"What a brave general!" Zhuge Liang praised and said: "Now the enemy already knows that we don't have many troops in our hands, and the suspicious soldiers have completely lost their effectiveness. Only by relying on strength can we protect the grain and grass. You lead all your cavalry and go around to the south to fight.... ”

When he said this, Zhuge Liang raised his hand and pointed: "Look there, there is an official road, which is the road to the gate of Xiangyang, and only from there can the enemy transport grain, grass, and baggage back to Xiangyang as soon as possible." You must block the enemy. Although it is possible to be besieged by Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, I expect the lord's army to come back soon, because it has been seven days... Zhuge Liang said this, he was comforting Zhang Fei, but in fact, he didn't know when Liu Bei would come back.

But he didn't know that even if there was no comfort, Zhang Fei would fight to the death!

As long as you are in one breath, you will fight to the end!

After Han Xian's cavalry rushed into the camp, Zhang Fei's nearly 100 cavalry went around to the official road to the south and attacked the rear of Han Xian's army. Defend that official road to the death.

The official road is more than two zhang wide, and it is not too narrow, but the left and right sides of the official road are not suitable for marching, let alone transporting grain, grass and baggage. Han Xian's army needed to pass through here in order to enter Xiangyang City.

.......

Han Xian escorted the grain and grass and baggage back, and met Zhang Fei.

The two armies fought fiercely on that official road.

The cavalry led by Zhang Fei was pitifully small in number, and it didn't take long to fight before they were all wiped out. Of course, Han Xian also paid some price, but for three thousand cavalry, it was a drop in the bucket.

On the entire battlefield, Zhang Fei was still fighting to the death.

Han Xian's cavalry had already surrounded him, but because the official road was blocked, the grain, grass, and baggage could not pass.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang should not send troops to help, because no matter how many soldiers there are, it is useless, and the official road can only accommodate a few dozen soldiers. As the so-called one husband is closed, it is to describe the present.

Zhuge Liang's heart was beating when he watched from the battlefield, he regretted a little, he shouldn't have sent Zhang Fei out to fight, in case something went wrong, how to explain to Liu Bei. This kind of uncertain battle is really undesirable and unwise.

Time passes slowly...

An hour later.

Zhang Fei can't remember how many people he has killed, anyway, his Zhangba snake spear has been waving, and every time he swings it, someone will fall to the ground, and the corpses on the official road have piled up like a mountain, and the blood is flowing like a river.

His own body was also stained with blood, and even his eyes turned red.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help but gasp, trembling in their hearts: "This horseman... It's really brave, if you and I encounter the same situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for so long, right? Zhang Liao said.

"Even if you have the ability to kill the enemy, your physical strength will be exhausted." Xu Huang said: "Zhang Fei's physical strength is far from being comparable to you and me..." ”

"I'm afraid that only General Xu Chu can match him." Zhang Liao thought of Cao Cao's Tiger Guard General Xu Chu, who was also a fierce man, and with his own strength, he single-handedly challenged dozens or hundreds of people, and there was absolutely no problem. If in a narrow place, the enemy soldiers are several or a few and kill one or two thousand, it is not impossible.

"I really don't believe it, he doesn't know tired?" Xu Huang smiled: "Let's just watch here and see how long he can last." Anyway, he was besieged, and he couldn't escape, and he would be killed after all. ”

Zhang Liao was also curious.

This kind of scene is not something that can be seen casually.

Zhuge Liang had already gathered the old and weak troops in the east, south and north, about 400 hundred, and he was worried that Zhang Fei would lose, so he ordered the horn to be sounded to withdraw the army, and wanted to recall Zhang Fei.

Woo woo...

What Zhuge Liang didn't expect was that Zhang Fei turned a deaf ear and continued to fight with the enemy.

"Commander, look..." A bearded soldier standing behind Zhuge Liang suddenly pointed to the west: "It seems to be General Zhao's soldiers and horses, coming this way." ”

Zhuge Liang looked at it and was about to cry with excitement: "Finally returned to the army..." ”

"Quickly send General Zilong to rush along this official road, rescue Yide, and then put a long snake formation in Xiangyang Xicheng. Prevent Xu Huang and Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses from leaving the city. ”

"No."

The return of Zhao Yun made Zhuge Liang see the hope of victory.

The grain, grass, and baggage in the camp can finally be saved.

The soldiers and horses brought back by Zhao Yun, about 4,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry troops, are all the old departments of the original Jingzhou Army, and after Zhao Yun's training for several months, they have mastered the layout of the formation.

Under his leadership, like a sharp blade, it swept to the official road, easily defeated Han Xian, and rescued Zhang Fei. Then, without stopping, he rushed to the outside of Xicheng and laid out a long snake formation.

The function of this formation is to intercept and encircle. If Zhang Liao and Xu Huang wanted to go out of the city, they would collide with the formation, and as a result, all the troops out of the city would be surrounded and annihilated.
