After a while, there was a rumbling sound from the gate of Wancheng, which was the sound of a winch twisting the iron cable to open the gate.

As soon as the city gate opened a gap for one person to pass, Wang Duwei ran eagerly towards the city gate, and the soldiers behind him were stunned for a moment before they reacted, and then chased after him.

The captain shouted as he ran, "The Central Army has come to earn the city, shoot them!" ”

A few Jingzhou troops had already snatched out of the open city gate, and shot arrows with bows and arrows at the small soldiers chasing Wang Duwei, and this small soldier was pretended by Huo Jun.

Because his accent was a local accent, Huo Jun saw through it, and rushed to the city gate while striking arrows with a horizontal knife.

Wang Duwei rushed into the city gate, and the Jingzhou army that received him also flashed into the city gate, and the city gate that had just been opened began to close.

At the same time, a large number of crossbowmen of the Jingzhou army appeared on the city, and the bows and crossbows fired in unison, shooting at the place where there was a light of torches.

It turned out that these Jingzhou troops who returned to the city were all pretended to be by the Central Army, and only that captain was real!

It's a pity that this Nanyang Taishou Kuai Yue is extremely vigilant, and he deliberately missaid the surname of the Xinye County Order.

The lieutenant was also alert, and immediately followed Kuai Yue's mistake, and Kuai Yue became even more determined in his conjecture.

Only then was the ambush set up, and there was the scene just now.

Zhang Liao was also mixed in with the army outside the city, and when he saw that he was spotted by the enemy, he was not prepared to attack the city, so he had to order a retreat.

Huo Jun was also hit by two arrows, fortunately it was not critical.

Zhang Liao gathered the team, but there were hundreds of casualties in the dark, and secretly sighed that there were also capable people in this Wan City!

It seems that Wancheng can't take it, so let's move to Yuzhou!

Presumably in front of the Tiger Prison at this time, the lord is under a lot of pressure, right?

Go to Yuzhou by yourself to make a fuss, which is the hinterland of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and it is difficult for them not to be distracted!

Zhang Liao didn't know that there was a huge crisis waiting for him.

Just when Zhang Liao was making trouble in Jingzhou, Lu Bu received a secret letter from the Kwantung Coalition Army.

This secret letter was not sent by a flying pigeon, but in the middle of the night, someone shot a strong bow into the city.

The letters were written in cipherland, and the outside of the envelope was pressed with the secret coat of arms of the Ministry of Intelligence.

Li Su personally checked the letter and confirmed that it was written by his own people, and it should have been written by the tiger-faced military master himself.

After Li Su cracked the secret language, he copied a copy and handed it to Lu Bu.

In the letter, the tiger-faced military division reported to Lu Bu an urgent military situation of 100,000, so he did not wait for the flying pigeon to pass the book, but personally sent Chen to shoot in the city.

The letter said that he had recently discovered that the Kwantung Coalition Army had made many mysterious troop moves, and that none of them had involved the Qingzhou Army.

According to his observations, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and other coalition generals had disappeared before and after the last siege.

A little white-faced military advisor who has been following Cao Cao has disappeared, this little white-faced is quite mysterious, Cao Cao takes him everywhere he goes, but he doesn't introduce him to everyone.

They also often secretly met with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to discuss things.

Seeing the words of the little white-faced military advisor, Lu Bu's heart twitched for no reason, could it be that person?

The tiger-faced military advisor said that he inquired in many ways, but he couldn't get the name of this little white face, but he heard that he had just joined Cao Cao's army, or Xun Yu recommended him, and he was deeply trusted by Cao Cao.

The tiger-faced military division thought that this must be a bureau against the Central Army, and the generals of Cao Cao's army, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and others, had not shown up for some time, and Cao Cao's army must have mobilized troops.

He reminded Lu Bu to be careful, especially to remind Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, the two mobile corps, to be more careful.

When Lu Bu saw this, he basically concluded that the little white-faced military division was the famous Guo Jia, Cao Cao's great military division.

As for who they are targeting? Lu Bu also guessed to some extent that Xu Huang was still preparing for war in Duliao, and had never attacked Youzhou and Hebei Erzhou.

They must be dealing with Zhang Liao, but I don't know how this Guo Jia set up the game?

Lü Bu ordered Li Su's intelligence department to transmit the news to Zhang Liao as quickly as possible, telling him to be careful and careful, and if he didn't work, he would withdraw to Hongnong.

At the same time, he sent Gao Shun to lead Zhang He's First Cavalry Division, Wang Quan's Special Operations Brigade, and the Honor Second Brigade, all of which were cavalry, and set off immediately.

From Liangxian to Luyang, according to the itinerary reported by Zhang Liao, it should be from Nanyang to Yingchuan or Runan, and continue the next combat operation.

I hope that Gao Shun's reinforcements will be able to meet Zhang Liao in time, and the key now is to see Zhang Liao's own.

Zhang Liao left Wancheng and continued eastward.

From Nanyang County to Yuzhou, there are three routes for Zhang Liao to choose.

The northernmost and best way to go is Duyang, from where you can go directly to Yingchuan.

The second route is from near Wuyin through Zhongyang Mountain to Runan.

The last route is from Fuyang through Tongbai Mountain to Runan County. However, there is a Xiongguan in the middle of this route, which is the most important pass of Tongbai Mountain, called Wuyang Pass, which is the famous Wusheng Pass in later generations.

This pass is known as an important place of "Qingfen Yuchu, air pressure Songheng, and three rivers".

Therefore, Zhang Liao's first choice was naturally the best way to go to Duyang, and soon after leaving Wancheng, he turned to the northeast.

According to the usual practice, Zhang Liao went out fifty miles to explore the road and guard it.

Four thousand prisoners of war were tied up by them and hid in the mountains, and after the army was far away, naturally someone from the intelligence department sent a message to the defenders of Wancheng. Their weapons and equipment were all sunk into the water.

There is a county town called Bowang in the northeast of Wancheng, and the previous intelligence showed that Bowang only had a garrison of 500 and a weak defense.

Because it was very close to Wancheng, it was not heavily defended.

After the scouts investigated the site, they reported to Zhang Liao, saying that the four gates of this Bowang county town were closed and they could not find out the details of the city.

Zhang Liao decided to go around the city, anyway, the supplies are quite sufficient, but let's supplement it somewhere else!

When the central army passed through the outskirts of Bowang City, the horn suddenly sounded in Bowang City, and an army of 5,000 people was sent out of the city.

After they lined up outside the city, they could clearly see that they were all infantry, and they were all dressed in the Jingzhou army.

However, both the morale of the army and the equipment on the soldiers are obviously stronger than the Jingzhou army that they fought before, and it seems to be an elite division.

Unexpectedly, the Jingzhou army still hid an elite army here, and Zhang Liao didn't want to be too entangled with so many elites of the Jingzhou army.

Although there is a certainty of victory, it is time-consuming, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties.

The battle of Hanzhong, the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army, Zhang Liao has also heard about it, let them stay behind, anyway, the central army is on horseback, and they can't catch up, so they should be sending us off.

Bypassing Bowang and continuing north, I didn't go far before I got close to Duyang.

The scouts reported that there was a military camp twenty miles south of Duyang County, and it was estimated that there were at least 20,000 people.

Zhang Liao frowned when he heard this, and looked at the map, blocking Yang is the only way to go north to Luyang, but he didn't expect the Jingzhou army to garrison an army of 20,000 people here.

It seems that it is impossible to go from Luyang to Yuzhou, so you can only retreat and go to Zhongyang Mountain, Runan will be Runan!
