The Han army lost the opportunity, coupled with the surprise attack, although it showed tenacious resilience, but the formation has been chaotic, has begun to rout, Guan Xing and Jiang Wei fought more than a dozen, seeing that there is an invincible appearance, plus the Han army began to rout, did not dare to fight again, immediately picked off the spear stabbed by Jiang Wei, jumped out of the battle group, and tried to restrain the troops to begin to slowly retreat.

Although Jiang Wei won a small victory, but there are many people on the other side, and Guan Xing is not incompetent, even if the Han army loses these 5,000 soldiers and horses, it will not hurt its vitality, but Tianshui is now a small number of soldiers, if these 3,000 soldiers and horses are folded here, it is even more impossible for the only remaining soldiers and horses in Tianshui to hold the city, so they can only watch Guan Xing slowly retreat, sigh helplessly, return to Xixian with the soldiers and horses, reorganize the soldiers and horses in order to fight again, and at the same time send people to Shangqi to report the war here.

Although there was a small victory, more than half of the Xicheng County guards were damaged, and the soldiers and horses brought by Jiang Wei were also damaged a lot, and the number of losses on both sides even exceeded the number of people injured by the Han army.

And after this battle, the main army on Zhang Fei's side must be prepared, and it will be difficult to come up with surprises.

Personally feeling the strength of the Han army, Jiang Wei thought about it after returning to the city, but still felt that it was inappropriate, with the strength of the Han army, it was almost impossible for Tianshui to hold the city, and Zhang He's reinforcements didn't know when they would arrive, so he had to think of his way to recruit some people, otherwise it would be difficult to fight with the Han army.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Wei wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Shangqi, hoping that Ma Zun could borrow some soldiers and horses from all over Tianshui to fight against the Han army, so as to support Zhang He's army to help, and at the same time ordered people to go to the city to recruit people and strengthen the city wall, hoping to stop the footsteps of the Han army in this western city a little.

On the other side, Guan Xing was defeated for a while, and some of them returned to the army in frustration to return to Zhang Fei.

"An Guo's martial arts are good, this person is about the same age as An Guo, can he beat you?" Ma Chao looked at Guan Xing with some surprise, it was just a sneak attack by the other party, after all, in Ma Chao's view, Guan Xing's combat experience is not rich, and it is understandable to be attacked by the other party.

"Yes, this person has a lot of means, if he continues to fight, the last general may not be his opponent." Guan Xing sighed, a little depressed.

I thought that my skills had been accomplished, but this time I sent troops to the Central Plains, and I was about to show my skills, just like my father back then, famous all over the world, who knew that the first battle would be defeated in the hands of Jiang Wei, which made Guan Xing not depressed.

Ma Chao was interested, and saluted Zhang Fei and said: "General, the last general is invited to fight, only 3,000 soldiers and horses are needed, and Xicheng will be broken!" ”

Zhang Fei nodded when he heard this: "Okay, since Meng Qi has this intention, it is convenient for you to have five thousand soldiers and horses, don't let the Wei army underestimate our army!" ”

"Command!" Ma Chao took the order and left.

Pang Tong did not stop it, and after Ma Chao left, he twisted his beard and said: "Xixian is just a small city, it is not difficult to break it, but this time Tianshui sent 3,000 troops to come here, and Ji County, Shangqi and other places must be empty, you can send a detour to attack Ji County, if you can capture Tianshui Taishou, then Tianshui will be overcome, our army can take advantage of the situation to go down along Weishui, take Guanzhong directly, and Chen Dao, Huang Zhong and the two generals will join forces together, and attack Guanzhong!" ”

"What Shi Yuan said is very good, I mean it!" Zhang Fei looked at the sand table and laughed.

"General, in this battle, the last general is willing to go!" Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Guang's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they hurriedly stepped forward.

"Don't fight!" Zhang Fei waved his hand and said: "After all, Anguo is newly defeated and lacks sharpness, so this battle will be carried out by Xingguo and Dingguo, and you will each bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to take Shangqi and Ji County!" ”

Now Zhang Fei is also wealthy, and in the battle of Tianshui, he doesn't want to delay it for too long, so he directly allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, in order to take Tianshui as soon as possible!

"The last general commands!" When Zhang Bao and Zhao Guangyan heard this, they hurriedly bowed down to take the general's order, saluted Zhang Fei, and turned around to order troops.

"Fan Jiang, go and fetch my hidden wine, and I will have a few drinks with Shi Yuan." Seeing that everything was over, Zhang Fei licked his mouth and shouted outside the tent.

"This ......" Fan Jiang came in from outside the tent, looked at Zhang Fei with some embarrassment: "General, alcohol is forbidden in the army, it is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

"Huh?" When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes widened.

Pang Tong on the side got up and waved his hand and said: "Today's rejuvenation is defeated after all, what does it mean to drink at this time?" Besides, before the expedition, His Majesty had repeatedly instructed him not to drink alcohol, so could the general have forgotten? ”

"You don't drink?" Zhang Fei looked at Pang Tong in amazement.

"Is it child's play to march and fight!?" Pang Tong looked at Zhang Fei speechlessly, his expression was a little annoyed: "The general is in the three armies, and this battle is related to His Majesty's long-cherished wish for many years. ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he said with some sneer: "There is nothing else here now, why ...... it?"

"The distribution of food and grass for the soldiers of the three armies, the logistics supply of General Zhang Ren, the resettlement of various counties in Nan'an, whether the officials will implement the decree in place, if the general feels that there is nothing to do, he can take care of these!" Pang Tong sat down on the mat and snorted coldly.

When Zhang Fei heard this, he could only nod helplessly, and no longer mentioned the matter of drinking, in fact, he didn't drink so much now, and the ornaments Liu Yi gave him would suppress the harshness in this regard, it was just a habit, and don't look at Zhang Fei's usual scolding of the soldiers, but for a capable scholar like Pang Tong, Zhang Fei will give considerable respect.

"Give me all the wine...... Put it away! "I wanted to say that it was a bit domineering, and it made people smash it directly, but I was a little reluctant, so I could only let people put away the wine first, and then drink and feast when the battle was over.

"Whoa!" Fan Jiang bowed his hand to the two of them and left.

Seeing that Pang Tong ignored him, Zhang Fei smiled and licked his face to Pang Tong's side and said: "Shiyuan is not angry, but joking, now that Xingguo and Dingguo will be divided into Shangqi and Ji County, when it can be successful, what should I do next?" ”

Pang Tong and Zhang Fei have known each other for many years, since Zhang Fei listened to him, it is not good to keep a stinky face, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If the sky and water go down, you can detour to Longguan, if Zhang He attacks the street pavilion, we can take the opportunity to attack stability, in this way, we will form a siege of Jingzhao, and the Cao army will transfer the main force to come to the decisive battle." ”

Zhang Fei nodded silently, in this way, the guan can be determined!

……

On the other side, Ma Chao led the soldiers and horses and went straight to Xicheng.

Jiang Wei got the news and hurriedly closed the city gate, preparing to defend it strictly.

Ma Chao came to the city, looking at the city wall of the West City, the West City is a small city, the city is less than two zhang high, and it is rammed earth, it is not difficult to capture, but the other party obviously knows that the troops are insufficient, and recruited a lot of people to defend the city, which makes Ma Chao frown, the law of the Han Dynasty has gradually improved over the years, and for the people, it is the attitude of being able to protect it, this time Liu Bei Xingbing soldiers, in order to occupy the land in this pass, the people in this pass are now regarded by Liu Bei as their own people, and Ma Chao does not want to kill more.

"Big brother, I'm going to call the battle!" From Brother Ma Dai to Ma Chao's side, he looked at the direction of the city wall and said to Ma Chao.

"Hmm." Ma Chao nodded, if the city is forcibly attacked, even if the city is broken in the end, this western city will become a dead city, which is not in line with the original intention.

Ma Dai rode his horse to the city, raised his knife and pointed at the head of the city and said: "A certain is under the account of the hussar general, and the general Ma Dai of Fenwei!" Who is in the city guarding the city? ”

Jiang Wei was watching the formation of the Han army under the banner, and when he heard Ma Dai report his home, he thought about it, walked out of the banner, looked at Ma Dai and said: "Tianshui Jiang Wei, why did you violate my boundary?" ”

"Ridiculous!" Ma Dai sneered: "This is the world of the Han Dynasty, your lord was originally a Han minister, but he usurped the Han Dynasty and stood on his own, what face do you have to say this to me?" ”

Jiang Wei frowned and said: "The great man's qi is exhausted, the mandate of heaven is in Wei, and you and other perverse people, dare to say this crazy words?" ”

"Destiny in Wei?" Ma Dai pointed his knife at the people guarding the city, and sneered: "What is the Mandate of Heaven? But the people, you know that you will be defeated, but what is the reason for letting these people come to die? ”

Jiang Wei knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't say much to him, but just said coldly: "The general is here, what is the matter?" ”

"Take the city!" Ma Dai said coldly: "Xixian is just a small city, now that the hussar general is here, this city will be broken, Your Majesty has always been benevolent and righteous, and he can't bear to poison the people. ”

"In that case, why don't you retreat?" Jiang Wei sneered.

"I'm strong and you're weak, why should I retreat?" Ma Dai looked at Jiang Wei and said loudly: "If you don't want to, you can go out of the city and fight to the death with us, no matter whether you win or lose, we guarantee that the people in this city will not commit any crimes, but if you attack the city, it will inevitably be damaged, what are these people?" ”

Jiang Wei was also reluctant to drive the people to defend the city, and after hearing this, he was silent for a moment and nodded: "It's okay, this general also wants to learn something!" ”

He watched Ma Chao's military formation, not compact, on the contrary, it was very loose, and secretly thought that there might not be no chance, and he wanted to go out of the city with his troops and horses at the moment, wanting to fight with Ma Chao.

Ma Dai saw Jiang Wei out of the city and was about to step forward to challenge, but saw Ma Chao riding out of the formation, came to the front of the formation, waved his hand, and signaled Ma Dai to retreat.

Ma Dai was stunned when he saw this, and then understood Ma Chao's plan, nodded immediately, and rode his horse back into the formation.

Ma Chao immediately shot a spear, and his eagle-like eyes swept over Cao Jun, and finally fell on Jiang Wei: "Anguo was defeated by you?" ”

"Not bad!" Although I don't know who An Guo is, but I think it is the Han general who was repelled by himself before, Jiang Wei said proudly.

"Do you have some skills, dare to come out and fight me?" Ma Chao looked at Jiang Weidao.

"Oh?" Jiang Wei looked at the Han army behind Ma Chao, his eyes fell on Ma Chao and said, "If you can win the general, is the general willing to retreat?" ”

"No, it won't." Ma Chao shook his head: "You can't win!" ”

"Then if you win the general, can the general ......?"

"Let you go!" Ma Chao waved his hand, and Ma Dai immediately led the army to press, stretched his bow and arrows, and aimed at Jiang Wei: "You can also not fight, I will immediately wave my troops to attack the city!" ”

"You ......" Jiang Wei obviously felt that the momentum of the Han army had increased sharply at this moment, and the formation had also become fierce in an instant, no longer scattered, who didn't know that Ma Chao was doing it to him before to lure him out of the city!

A smile swept up on Ma Chao's angular face: "Little doll, this battle is not just about marching formations!" ”
