As expected, of course, there were no ambushes in the city, and it should be said that there was nothing. If there is anything else, then there is just a mess, if this is counted.

Ma Dai said to the soldiers: "Please enter the city!" ”

"No!"

As a vanguard, there is no danger here, and even the shadow of the enemy army is gone, so naturally Huang Zhong, the commander, is going to enter the city at this time, so Ma Dai asked the soldiers to invite Huang Zhong.

It didn't take long for Huang Zhong to arrive, after all, he was at the gate of Linxiang, so didn't he enter the city with a horse.

As soon as Huang Zhong saw the situation in the city, he said: "Bozhan will take a thousand people to Taishou Mansion with me, and the others will take over the defense of Linxiang!" ”

"No!"

Ma Dai and all the soldiers all promised in unison, and this is the most important thing to do at this time.

At this point, the Liangzhou army, under the leadership of Huang Zhong and them, has taken Linxiang again, and Changsha will soon be in the bag.

Thorn Yang, after Liang Kuan was told by Pang De, he was relieved, and when he led the troops to attack Thorn Yang again, his state was much better than before.

Li Tong sneered at Liang Kuan under the city, "Liang Kuan, it seems that you are not bad, are you high-spirited?" ”

Liang Kuan knew that Li Tong was doing this on purpose, and he was going to make himself angry, but although he was really angry in his heart, he still held back.

At this time, I heard him say: "Li Tong Li Wenda." Let me show you how powerful your grandfather is today! ”

Li Tong laughed when he heard this, "Our army is too scared? Liang Kuan, if there is a kind, let the horse come. Whoever is afraid is the grandson! ”

To say that Li Tongke is different from Liang Kuan, but in this case, in order to hit the opponent, he can't care about other things. So in terms of language, Li Tong is not inferior to Liang Kuan at all, but is better than him in some places-

And at this time, Liang Kuan did not forget to "instigate" his own soldiers. In order to improve the morale of his own soldiers, he can take out more than ten percent of his ability to deal with the Yanzhou soldiers at the head of the city. But Liang Kuan's idea is quite good. But of course, this matter will not let him get his wish, and when he is about to go to the city, Pang De's side once again asked the soldiers to withdraw the troops, and he can only retreat with his own soldiers in the end.

And Li Tong looked at Liang Kuan's helpless expression. He was laughing. Liang Kuan could naturally hear that Li Tong was laughing at himself, but he didn't want to shout anything at this time, so he still went back to find his general.

Another day of attack, Liang Kuan finally landed on the top of the city, for him, this is indeed not easy, after all, a few days ago. He had never climbed to the top of the city of Thorn Yang, and this was the first time in the world.

But when he went up. found that there was still a big gap between what he thought, at least in his opinion, he hadn't done much to "show his talents", but in the end, his ambition was unpaid-

For Liang Kuan to be able to climb to the top of the city, Li Tong was not surprised at all. In fact, this matter was deliberately released by him Li Tong himself, just to let Liang Kuan go up to the city. But no one knows this, let alone Liang Kuan and the Liangzhou sergeant, even if it is from the Yanzhou army, only a few people understand, after all, Li Tong can't do this by himself.

When Liang Kuan went to the head of the city, he ran to Li Tong with the ring head knife. And Li Tong looked at it, to be honest, and was deeply disdainful in his heart. For him, Liang Kuan is nothing more than such a general with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, but there is nothing to worry about. If he Liang Kuan had a little brain, he wouldn't have fallen into his own plan so lightly.

But when Liang Kuan really got into hands with the Yanzhou sergeant, he realized that this didn't seem to be right. Of course, this was only a fleeting moment, but it still allowed him to capture it.

If you want to say that it is all at this time, in addition to yourself, there should be your own soldiers who also ascended to the top of the city, but ...... -

But the result is not like this at all, there is only one brother in the city, Liang Kuan, so he reacted wrongly, but as soon as he wanted to withdraw, he was already surrounded by Yanzhou soldiers, can people let him escape lightly?

At this time, I heard Li Tong is shouting, "Liang Kuan, do you think this is your family, you can come if you want to, and leave if you want?" Look at the knives! ”

Saying that, Li Tong was already holding a knife and came straight to Liang Kuan. Don't look at the Yanzhou sergeants who have already surrounded Liang Kuan, but there is still a gap between their martial arts and Liang Kuan. Even if Liang Kuan is only a third-rate martial artist, he is better than those soldiers who are not in the stream.

As for Li Tong, he could see that although his martial arts were not high, they were enough to restrain Liang Kuan, so he had no choice but to join the war. And as soon as Liang Kuan heard Li Tong shouting, he didn't say it well, so he hurriedly retreated, even if there were a lot of Yanzhou soldiers behind him, but what else could he take care of now, there was only one voice in his heart, that is, run, run!

But can Li Tong and the Yanzhou soldiers do it, so Liang Kuan is blocked, but even so, it has already made him come to the city wall at the head of Jianyang City-

Just when Liang Kuan thought that he could retreat immediately, he was hit by an arrow. And it was none other than Li Tong who released the arrow.

Li Tong thought he was fast enough. However, Liang Kuan's ability to escape for his life was really beyond his expectations. So there are so many soldiers in front, so Li Tong knows better than anyone else. In terms of his own speed, he may have run away before he reached Liang Kuan, so what can he do about this.

In the end, he asked the soldier to bring a bow and arrow, but the result was that Liang Kuan's right arm was injured by an arrow. After all, Liang Kuan only cared about escaping, and he really didn't notice anything like arrows.

At this time, Liang Kuan is round eyes. shouted in the direction of Li Tong: "Li Wenda, today's revenge with one arrow, he will avenge it every day!" ”

After speaking. He first pulled out the arrow with his left hand and threw it on the ground. Then he went down with a few knives, hacked to death and wounded several Yanzhou soldiers, and then slid down the ladder to the head of the city. This is definitely not something that anyone can do. At least basically nine out of nine soldiers can't do it. But what the soldiers can't do doesn't mean that the generals who lead the troops can't do it.

This is not to say that the soldiers will not do it, but if they do the same, the vast majority of people will not be able to grasp it well, so in the end they will either die or be injured, and Liang Kuan is obviously nothing, but he was hit by an arrow in the arm. So the effect on his wound is greater, and it is abnormal pain. And it's blood.

Just when Liang Kuan slid from the ladder car to the city, Pang De just asked the soldier Mingjin to withdraw his troops. To be honest, although it was impossible for him to see very clearly, he still saw Liang Kuan sliding down the ladder, so he didn't Ming Jin at this time, let alone when.

In fact, in Liang Kuan's heart, he was also inclined to withdraw from the army at this time. The rest is nothing, but his right arm was injured, although it was not too much damage, but it must have had an impact on today's war, so his general asked the soldier Ming Jin to withdraw his troops at this time, which was the most correct choice.

With great reluctance and helplessness, Liang Kuan retreated with his own soldiers. However, although he retreated again, he still did not forget to shout to Li Tong at the head of the city that he would come back to take revenge. As for Li Tong, he didn't say anything, he just smiled at Liang Kuan, and he didn't seem to pay attention to what he said at all-

After Liang Kuan saw Pang De, Pang De saw the arrow wound on Liang Kuan's right arm and hurriedly asked, "How is the injury?" ”

Liang Kuan grinned at this time and said to his general: "It's no big deal! ”

Pang De shook his head and said, "Hurry back to the camp with me, so that the healer can have a good life!" ”

Liang Kuan could only agree, and then returned to the camp with Pang De. But to be honest, Liang Kuan's heart was still a little touched that his general could care so much about him. After all, he is indeed a good general, but he is not a person who talks about everything, and it is actually not easy to care about his injuries today. At least in Liang Kuan's opinion, it is relatively rare, after all, he has been following Pound for many years.

After returning to the camp, Pang De hurriedly asked the doctor to treat Liang Kuan's injuries, and after he was all healed, he asked, "What do you think of the current war of our army in Jianyang?" ”

When Liang Kuan heard this, his general asked such a question, could it be that his general wanted to ...... this?

At this time, Liang Kuan's heart did have a not very good feeling, at least he had never had this tone and attitude before, could it be that he was a little injured, and that's it? Or is it for some other reason?

But no matter what it was, it couldn't stop him from asking, and at this time, he heard Liang Kuan ask: "The last general is stupid, but I don't know what the general means by this?" ”

Pang De looked at Liang Kuan and shook his head slightly. Then he said to him: "Now that our army is fighting with the Yanzhou army in Jianyang, to be honest, you don't see it, but our army has not taken any advantage, but has ...... it."

As soon as Liang Kuan heard his general's words, he understood. In fact, even he really didn't want to admit it, but he had to say in his heart that his side is not dominating now, but others are dominant, so looking at his general like this, this means retreating.

After all, he has followed Pound for so many years, and he talks about it. It is not difficult to hear the meaning of his general. But in Liang Kuan's heart, he is one hundred and twenty unwilling to withdraw from the army-

But he's not stupid, so he's weighing it carefully. I have already figured it out, in fact, what my general means is this, why not be forced to do it. To say that his general is definitely more reluctant to retreat than himself, but the current situation is indeed how to make his own side better.

Anyway, Liang Kuan really has no better way, and he can also see that he is a general. It's still the same. If you can't attack Thorn Yang for a long time, you can't see the blow to the morale of your own soldiers. And his own general will not be unaware. Coupled with his accidental injury today, it can be said that the morale of his soldiers has dropped to a very low level, and if he retreats after attacking again tomorrow. Then your own soldiers may have no will to fight.

And Liang Kuan also knows. The casualties of your own soldiers in the past few days are not small, at least for such a thorny sun, it is already too much, so what do you want to do.

Liang Kuan asked directly at this time: "I don't know if the general means that he wants to withdraw the army?" ”――

Pound nodded helplessly, to be honest, does he want to withdraw from the army, of course he doesn't want to. If you don't retreat, what else can you do. It's just a little bit of a hand. Can you surround people's thorns, maybe the siege of the city is impassable, can't.

So if you talk about consuming the enemy's grain and grass, you don't know how much grain and grass the other side has, so when will this battle go? At least when he consumed the other party's grain and grass, Li Tong estimated that he would have sent someone to move troops for help, and then his own side would not be able to defeat others.

How much Pang De still knows the strength of the Yanzhou army in Nanyang, it can be said that there are more than his own, and the power of others in Nanyang is greater than his own, and the territory is larger than his own.

What's more, now Liang Kuan is injured, of course, he is only a minor injury. But even so, your own soldiers don't care if you are lightly injured or seriously injured, in short, your own master will be injured, so their morale is not much, so can they fight again? Or how long can you fight with others, at least the more you fight in the Thorn Sun, the less beneficial it is to yourself, and the more beneficial it is to others.

Pang De knew that Liang Kuan understood what he meant, so after listening to him, he said: "Yes, for today's plan, it can only be like this, I don't know what you think?" ”

As soon as Liang Kuan heard his general's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, could he not be like this, although he wanted to continue to fight, would it be beneficial to his own side, could he break the city at once, and his own general could let it? Besides, the so-called "small arms can't twist the thighs", it's useless to say no, let alone something that is not beneficial to yourself.

So he hurriedly said: "The general's meaning, the last general has already understood, it's just, it's just ......"

Pound frowned and said, "Don't talk about it, just say it if you have something to say!" ”

"No! The meaning of the last general is, I don't know when the commander will retire? ”

Pound didn't think about it, and said directly: "Tomorrow!" Is that good? ”

"Good! The commander decides that the last general should obey himself! ”

Pang De nodded, of course he didn't think that Liang Kuan would disobey his orders. Besides, he is injured now, although it is not a major injury for him, but it is absolutely impossible to say that it does not affect him at all to lead his troops to attack the city.

Pound made a decision, and he retreated with the rest of the men and horses tomorrow.

He did review himself, this time he sent troops was indeed too much to take for granted, although he didn't think that he was too underestimated by the enemy, but how to say it, he thought he still underestimated Li Tong.

So at this time, he said to Liang Kuan, "Alas, Li Tong and Li Wenda, I still underestimate him a little. At least Cao Mengde can let this person guard the important town in the east of Nanyang, and his people should be valued by our army, and they must still attach great importance to their talents! ”

As for Liang Kuan, after listening to his general's words, he couldn't help nodding. He thinks that even his own general thinks that he is underestimating his people, so is he underestimating the other party even more? Although I didn't think that the other party was very powerful, but even my own general said so, of course I couldn't help but listen, and I had to pay more attention to it. But now that I'm going to retreat, it seems that it's useless to think about this, but the so-called "green mountains don't change, green water flows", there will always be a chance to deal with it in the future.

Thinking of this, Liang Kuan said: "The general's words are extremely true, and the last general should remember!" ”――

A day later, the soldiers came to report: "Report to the general, the Liangzhou army is pulling out the camp at this time!" ”

When Li Tong heard this, he hurriedly waved to the others and said, "Quick, follow me to check!" ”

"No!"

When he got to the top of the city, he looked at it like this, didn't he, the Liangzhou army was going to retreat. He said in his heart at this time, Pang De, Pang Lingming, Liang Kuan, you are running fast, hum!

And the soldier beside him said: "General, do you want our army to pursue?" ”

Li Tong shook his head slightly, "The so-called 'sail carefully for ten thousand years', do you know that this is not the enemy's plan?" ”

Then he shouted to the Yanzhou soldiers at the head of the city: "Brothers, hold on to the city, and there must be no mistake!" What is the situation of the enemy army at this time, don't care about them, for our army, 'do not seek merit, but seek no fault'! ”

"No!"

The soldiers agreed in unison, and for them, they preferred to listen to what Li Tong said. After all, who knows what the Liangzhou army has in mind, besides, to say that Pang De has no preparation, and even many soldiers, they don't believe it. So when they heard Li Tong say this, they shouted and shook the sky.

As for Pang De, who was busy pulling out the camp, even if they heard the shouts of the head of Thorn Yang City, they wouldn't care about anything. At least in their opinion, the sooner they retreat, the better. As for whether Li Tong can chase after him, Pang De thinks it is impossible, because of his people's caution, so they will not come to this troubled water.

Xiaoling is the place where Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei will allied, and the first one to come here is not Cao Cao, but Sun Ce and Liu Bei, of course, they can't pull the army here, after all, this place is still his Cao Cao's territory, and both sides have formed an alliance, so it is not so wary of each other. Of course, the two of them did not come with a large army, but the army of Sun and Liu, which was more than 100,000, was not far from here, but further north, on the territory of Nanjun.

Because today is the last day, Sun Ce and Liu Bei were not in a hurry after they came to Xiaoling, but in Xiaoling, the officials who had already surrendered to Cao Cao and originally belonged to Liu Biao's family in Jingzhou warmly entertained the two. After all, this is Cao Cao's honored guest, and Cao Cao has already arranged it, so none of the officials in Xiaoling dare to slack off, and they are the new lords who have defected to the current lord, so no one dares to leave a bad impression on Cao Cao-

In the county magistrate's mansion, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, as well as a few people they brought, were warmly welcomed by local officials. After all, this is not only what Cao Cao has already said, but also because of the relationship between Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, as well as the status of the two, so no one dares to snub them at all.

It was idle to say that there was nothing to do, and everyone chatted for more than two hours, and then they heard Sun Ce ask: "Cao Sikong is probably about to arrive, Wen Yuan will take someone to take a look!" ”

After speaking, Sun Ce also glanced at Liu Bei, Liu Bei understood, and hurriedly said: "Yes, what General Sun said is good, I don't know what you think?" ”

Everyone hurriedly agreed, who dared to say a word about this matter, and didn't want to live?

Then I heard Zhang Liao say: "No! (To be continued......)
