Chapter 231: Retreat

"Is it really that Guan Yu?" Nanzheng Chengzhong, Taishou Mansion, Zhang Lu's face has not looked good in the past two days, looking at Zhang Wei and frowning.

"Brother, it's Guan Yu, that's right." Zhang Wei said with some surprise.

"Then Guan Yu is really as brave as the legend?" Zhang Lu hurriedly asked.

"This ......" Zhang Wei said with some shame: "Guan Yu didn't leave the camp today, but just stood at the gate and watched, sent an old soldier out, and beheaded three generals of our army, dozens of soldiers. ”

"An old soldier has such a ability?" Zhang Lu didn't believe it.

"That old man is not only strong in martial arts, none of the three generals is his enemy, but also has good archery skills, two hundred steps away, he can shoot my handsome flag with one arrow!" Zhang Wei's face was a little ugly, after all, this is not a glorious thing, and at that time, Huang Zhong was so powerful that he still thought about it, and he felt cold in his heart.

"How's that okay?" Zhang Lu sighed and said worriedly, Yang Ren's army will not come back for a while, and it will be tomorrow at the earliest, Guan Yu's soldiers are coming to the city, although they are only the vanguard army, but the scouts have news that there are constantly ships transporting soldiers and horses to this side, and the five thousand defenders in Nanzheng City can withstand the onslaught of Liu Bei's army?

"Master." Yang Song on the side suddenly said: "Liu Bei has been planning for a long time, now Nanzheng is empty, you can't compete with it, it's better to retreat to Baozhong, join General Yang Ren's army, and send someone to Guanzhong to persuade that Ma Chao to come with him, Ma Chao is brave, if you can invite him to come, why be afraid of that Guan Yu?" ”

"No!" Zhang Wei frowned and said: "Right now, it's just Guan Yu's vanguard soldiers, there are only thousands of people, and Nanzheng City is strong, why be afraid of that Guan Yu?" After Yang Ren led the army back, it was Liu Bei's army that came, and our army was not afraid of him! Nan Zheng is the Hanzhong Governance Office, if you want to give it up, I am afraid that most of this Hanzhong will be lost! ”

Yan Pu also nodded and said, "Yes, you can order someone to persuade that Ma Chao to come and fight against Liu Bei!" ”

Zhang Lu also nodded silently when he heard this, after all, although this Nanzheng is empty now, there are still 5,000 soldiers and horses, no matter how powerful Guan Yu is, it is impossible for thousands of people to come in in one day, and nodded immediately: "The public chooses to arrange defense as soon as possible, orders people to go to Chuyang, and urges Yang Ren to return to the army quickly, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Wei agreed, turned around and went to arrange defense, and sent someone to urge Yang Ren to return to the army quickly.

On the other side, Chuyang.

In the miserable white sky, the entire city was caught in a fight.

Wei Yan kicked out a Hanzhong soldier with one kick, and killed the Hanzhong soldier who wanted to sneak attack him with a backhand, the knife in his hand was already a little curled, from morning to now, this knife did not know how many enemies he had killed, but the Hanzhong army continued to climb up the ladder as if it was endless, and Wei Yan already had a feeling of powerlessness.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers and horses around him, Wei Yan's heart is dripping blood, these are all elite soldiers brought from Jingzhou, they have been eating and living with him for several months, and they have already cultivated deep feelings, but now they are dying in front of them one by one, but they can't do anything.

The war has reached this point, it is useless to have any tricks, what remains is just the most primitive killing, whoever can hold out to the end will be the winner today, as for tomorrow, Wei Yan has no time to think about it.

"Poof~"

The long knife slashed through Wei Yan's armor, the already damaged armor was not completely blocked, and a wound on his shoulder that was not too deep appeared, Wei Yan gritted his teeth, and reflexively killed the Hanzhong soldiers who attacked him with a single sword.

Roar~

An angry roar was particularly piercing in the chaotic fighting, Wei Yan subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw that his lieutenant's body had been pierced by two spears, and seeing that he couldn't survive, he roared and pushed the three Han lieutenant generals to rush under the city wall.

Wei Yan's eyes were cracked, he roared angrily, and slashed the two Hanzhong soldiers with his sword, trying to pull the people back, but where was the time, the deputy general roared like this, grabbed the two enemies to death, let the other party kick, hugged the other party and rushed to the female wall, and burst out with the last strength and the three enemy soldiers to jump under the city wall.

The city wall is not high, and I don't know if the other party will die, but it will be difficult for the deputy general to survive.

Regardless of the grief and indignation in his heart, Wei Yan walked around the city wall, constantly rescuing his own soldiers who were entangled, and the bladed knife could no longer be used, Wei Yan grabbed one from the enemy casually, but it was far from being as easy as before.

If you can survive this battle, you must find a better knife for my husband!

I began to think crankily in my heart, by now, my physical strength has been almost exhausted, and this city is estimated to be unable to hold it!

Wei Yan laughed miserably in his heart, but there was a faint sound of gold in the distance, which made Wei Yan's mind sober up a little, and he saw that the enemy troops that were surging before were rapidly withdrawing, and the soldiers defending the city took the opportunity to kill some, but most of them were excited and roaring like the rest of their lives.

After a soldier roared, he fell to the ground with a pop, and never got up again, Wei Yan silently leaned against the enemy tower, looked at the Hanzhong soldiers who quickly withdrew, turned his head and looked around, on the entire city wall, there are not many people who can stand, if the other party attacks again, this city is estimated to be broken!

Resign yourself to fate, you've done your best.

Wei Yan sighed and closed his eyes silently, he was too tired.

However, until the evening, the enemy attack was not launched.

"General, look!" Just as Wei Yan was about to pack up and collect some arrow clusters to prepare for tomorrow's battle, a soldier suddenly pointed to the distance and excitedly shouted, "The enemy has retreated!" ”

What the?

Wei Yan was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that Yang Ren's army was pulling out the camp, and the large army had begun to withdraw.

Something happened to Nan Zheng?

Wei Yan was not so excited, Yang Ren withdrew at this time, it must have been an accident on Nanzheng's side, but was Liu Bei able to break through Nanzheng?

"Quick, gather the troops and horses, we can't let them go like this!" Wei Yan gritted his teeth and said, he didn't know what the situation was over there, but at this time, it would be good to buy Liu Bei a little time.

"General, now there are less than 300 people left in our army, and everyone is wounded, I'm afraid ......," the general said abruptly.

Wei Yan's heart was pulled out fiercely, three thousand people!

Turning his head and looking around, most of the corpses on the city wall were all enemies, but there were only a few dozen brothers left around him at the moment.

Sighing deeply, Wei Yan sat down against the female wall a little weakly, turned his head to look at the soldier and said, "Let the brothers rest well, go to the city and order those people to come and clean up the battlefield, ask the doctor to help the brothers heal, and the battle is over." ”

The last four words, Wei Yan said through gritted teeth, he also hoped to make more contributions, but in the current situation, he really couldn't bear to let these brothers who had just survived the catastrophe and were still injured follow him to fight hard.

"Oh, General Xie!" The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Wei Yan.

Thank? Thanks for what?

Wei Yan sat by the female wall and closed his eyes, feeling an indescribable sense of depression in his heart at the moment.

The guards came back with the soldiers who went to ask for help, and bowed to Wei Yan.

"Has the lord ever broken through Nanzheng?" Seeing this person, Wei Yan said with a smile, no matter what, Yang Ren withdrew his troops, and Nan Zheng's side must have already fought.

"Sir said that the lord's army will arrive at least ten days." The guard shook his head and said, "Now in the Nanzheng area, there are only five hundred people brought by Mr. ”

"Five...... Five hundred!? Wei Yan's eyes widened, and he looked at the other party incredulously and said, "Then why did Yang Ren withdraw his troops?" ”

"This ...... I don't know what to do. The guard shook his head, when he left, Liu Yi hadn't come up with a way to save Wei Yan.

"What does the gentleman command?" Wei Yan hurriedly asked.

"Mr. said, if you can't do anything, please ask the general to break through the siege, and only by living can you make contributions." The guard bowed.

"Heh~" Wei Yan closed his eyes again a little weakly, and he could probably guess without asking, Liu Yi bluffed over there again, asked Zhang Lu to transfer the army back, and he hurried all the way, it seems that he came early, but he has been guarding Weiyang these days, and there are no three thousand brothers left, what is it for?

At this moment, apart from smiling bitterly, Wei Yan didn't know how to express his mood at the moment.

I owe my husband my life!

Wei Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, if it weren't for Liu Yi's bluff over there, he might not even be able to survive today.

……

"Sir, then Nan Zhengcheng began to strengthen the garrison, it seems that he wants to hold on." Huang Zhong walked in and bowed to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi nodded, sure enough, it is not possible to scare Zhang Lu away, but it is a pity that such a good opportunity.

"Forget it, at least I saved Wen Chang." Liu Yi smiled, but he was not too frustrated, five hundred people can do this, it is not bad: "Since this is the case, then expand the camp, prepare to welcome the lord, and send out the ship every day, put the straw men into the cabin when you leave, and set up the straw men when you come back, don't make that Zhang Lu suspicious." ”

If Zhang Lu knew that there were only 500 people here, maybe he would directly send a large army to encircle and suppress it, and then he would have to leave in disgrace.

"Sir, don't worry, it's all ready." Guan Ping on the side said with a smile.

"Send someone to inform Wen Chang that Chuyang no longer means anything to our army, let's see if there is a chance to take Yangping Pass and block Na Zhanglu's retreat." Liu Yi thought for a while.

Originally, Wei Yan was sent to attack Weiyang, it was the idea of attacking the west with a sound, but now it seems to have failed, and it is useless to continue to stay in Weiyang, I heard that Zhang Lu still has 10,000 soldiers and horses in the pass and has not yet returned, if he can take Yangping Pass and put Zhang Lu's troops outside the pass, it can also reduce some pressure, after all, Liu Bei's men and horses are actually not too many, so that the other party can have fewer troops, and the chances of victory on their own side will naturally be greater.

"Whoa!"

"Send someone to inform the lord that the plan has failed, and then go and discuss with Liu Zhang to see if you can get 350,000 horses from Liu Zhang." Liu Yi suddenly smiled and said, the failure of the surprise attack is not necessarily a bad thing, at least you can justifiably ask Liu Zhang for food.

Belch......

Huang Zhong was speechless, how could he feel like asking for cabbage, even if Yizhou was rich, it was impossible to give so many soldiers and horses at once, right?
