But although they don't pay too much attention to Cheng Pu, Huang Zhong and Ma Dai will not underestimate the enemy.

At this time, Huang Zhong's Chinese army tent was in the big tent, and he and Ma Dai were talking about Linxiang City.

At this time, I heard Huang Zhong say to Ma Dai: "Bo Zhan, if the expectation is good, then Han Dang Han Yigong should be in Linxiang City at this time!" ”

Ma Dai smiled when he heard this, in his opinion, it was exactly like this, at least they didn't think that Han Dang would go to another place directly, such as Guiyang, this was basically impossible. Not only is he and Cheng Pu both members of the Jiangdong Army, but they have also been friends for many years, and the relationship is irreversible, so it is impossible for him not to come to Hunan Province. Therefore, with the speed of his own march, Han Dang will still be in Linxiang and has not left, and if Han Dang does not take the initiative to leave, will Cheng Pu be able to drive him away.

Ma Dai said at this time: "Brother Han Sheng's words are good, but unfortunately Yide didn't come, or let him chase Han Yigong again!" ”

In the absence of anyone else, Ma Dai still called Huang Zhong the character, and Huang Zhong didn't care about this, or he actually preferred it. And after Ma Dai finished speaking, he and Huang Zhong looked at each other and laughed-

In Ma Dai's view, he was still able to capture Linxiang, just like capturing Luo County. It's just that Zhang Fei is not here, otherwise he will be able to pursue Han Dang again as before, but whether he can succeed or not. It's basically impossible. After all, last time in Luo County, Zhang Fei didn't succeed in chasing Han Dang alone. This time he has to face Cheng Pu and Han Dang, although he may want to chase Han Dang, but this difficulty is still better than last time.

After resting outside Linxiang City for a day, Huang Zhong ordered Ma Dai to lead a large army to attack Linxiang City.

Seeing Ma Dai attacking with the Liangzhou sergeants, Cheng Pu gritted his teeth at this time, this is really the case, why is it so. It's not because the two of them used to be like this, but not in Changsha, but in Jiangxia. As a result, Cheng Pu guarded the city. In the end, Ma Dai led the troops to break through, and from that day on, wasn't this already a bond, so it also started at that time. Cheng Pu made up his mind. In the future, we must be ashamed until now.

But the result was quite unexpected, after all, he didn't expect that he would face the Liangzhou army again so soon, and it was still Ma Dai who led the troops to attack the city he defended. If there is a change, it is nothing more than that Ma Chao and his subordinates are not here, and this place is not Jiangxia but Changsha, and the others. There's nothing different about that.

While ordering the soldiers to release arrows, Cheng Yu shouted to Ma Dai who was attacking from the city: "Ma Bozhan." Hehe, today I will let you know how powerful our army is! Brothers, let me go! ”

After Ma Dai heard Cheng Pu's shout, he sneered twice disdainfully, and then shouted to him: "Cheng Demou, have you forgotten the war in Jiangxia?" At the beginning, you were defeated by our army, and now you will still repeat the mistakes of the past, if you know each other, you will open the city and surrender early, or abandon the city, or, hehe, you look good! ”

Originally, the two didn't say that they wanted to take advantage of their mouths, but because they were old rivals, they really didn't like each other, whether it was Cheng Pu or Ma Dai.

So when Cheng Pu said Ma Dai, Ma Dai couldn't show weakness, and in the end, he naturally had to refute it, or he would fall behind. And if this one has the upper hand, the decision is to hit your own morale, so this is really unacceptable.

As soon as Cheng Pu heard Ma Dai's words, he was immediately furious. To tell the truth, he is the most taboo for others to mention the Jiangxia war in front of him, although he can't forget it, but he won't always think of it. After all, it's a shame, as long as you don't forget it. But Ma Dai didn't give any face at all, and just talked about the war in Jiangxia, so what can Cheng Pu do.

At this time, he shouted, "Humph! Ma Bozhan, don't take advantage of your tongue, let's see the real chapter under our hands! ”

Ma Dai had already come to Linxiang City with the Liangzhou sergeant at this time, and after listening to Cheng Pu's words, he said in his heart, is it okay for you Cheng Demou to take the initiative to provoke, if you don't talk nonsense, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, don't you understand this matter?

So he said disdainfully: "That's right, Cheng Demou, let's fight another battle with real swords, stronger than anything else, brothers, siege the city!" ”

"Kill!"

"Up, rush!"

……――

With Ma Dai's order, the Liangzhou army launched a fierce attack on Linxiang City.

Cheng Pu shouted: "Good come, brothers, keep it for me!" ”

"No!"

Although the Jiangdong soldiers were busy defending the city, they still broke out in the city's earth-shattering shouts. To say that the festival between them and the Liangzhou army has indeed started in Jiangxia, and now the Liangzhou army has already occupied Jiangxia, and has begun to enter Kou Changsha again, so they also want to take revenge on their own side, and they can't let the Liangzhou army treat themselves as soft persimmons, and they can pinch it as they want, saying that "the clay people still have three points of soil", so ......

When Cheng Pu heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart, and said in his heart, the military heart is available, for a moment and a half, what can you do with the Liangzhou army?

"Ma Bozhan, let the horse come over, see if our army is afraid of you?"

Ma Dai, who was waiting for the cloud ladder, snorted, and then shouted: "Cheng Demou, don't talk nonsense, let's fight!" ”――

Cheng Pu shouted to the Jiangdong soldiers at the head of the city: "Brothers, greet me fiercely to the enemy general. Smash! ”

Rolling wood and stones piled up and ran to Ma Dai, Ma Dai said in his heart, bitter. As a result, he dodged once or twice. After that, he couldn't dodge, so he could only jump off the ladder truck.

For Ma Dai, it is not many times to jump off the ladder car, which is already familiar with the road. However, it was obvious that Cheng Pu and the Jiangdong soldiers at the head of the city would not let him go so lightly, so even if he was already on the ground, there were still rolling logs and stones smashed towards Ma Dai.

Ma Dai dodged a few more times. He said in his heart at this time, good you Cheng Demou, but you have a long ability. Now it's much better than last time. But you can't hit me when you're waiting for the ladder truck, and now you're on the ground, can you still hit me?

So Ma Dai pointed at Cheng Pu with the ring head knife, and then sneered at him: "Cheng Demou." Your Uncle Ma is standing here. Even if you let the horse come, see if Uncle Ma is afraid of you? Hahaha! ”――

Cheng Pu shouted contemptuously to Ma Dai: "Ma Bozhan, don't be rampant, there is a kind of you who will go to the top of the city and fight with our army!" ”

Ma Dai laughed when he heard this: "Okay, that's what I mean, watch me come up!" ”

Cheng Pu waved his hand at his soldiers at the head of the city and shouted, "Quick." Smash me! There is a reward for smashing and smashing wounds! ”

Although Cheng Pu also knew that a master general who led troops to attack the city would be killed or injured. This can be said to be difficult to do, but he still asked his soldiers to greet Ma Dai well, after all, he didn't want Ma Dai to go directly to the city. If the Liangzhou army attacks the city on the first day, let the main general ascend to the top of the city, then his own side is really, too inferior. No, Cheng Pu is still very confident, very confident, at least he knows that today, under the condition of his own strict defense, Ma Dai does not want to come up.

The combat strength of his Liangzhou army is good, but his own side is not a vegetarian, and the city defenses that have been prepared for a long time are not just in handy?

In Ma Dai's opinion, although Cheng Pu can be regarded as having grown, or that the Jiangdong sergeants have become more powerful, these obviously cannot be paid special attention to by him. At least under the iron hooves of his tens of thousands of troops, he didn't think that Cheng Pu would be able to defend Linxiang for much longer, it was nothing more than a trapped beast fighting.

Huang Zhong, who was watching the battle in the back, saw the situation of his own attack on the city, and on the whole, he was still satisfied. He could hear Ma Dai and Cheng Pu's words to some extent, but he didn't care about this at all, and he also knew in his heart that if Cheng Pu hadn't taken the initiative to provoke, Ma Dai would never have talked too much nonsense with the enemy.

Anyone who knows Ma Dai knows that in fact, he is not a person who talks so much, but he is a smiling tiger, which is not wrong at all. If you want to say who is the most insidious one in your own Liangzhou army, the first recommendation must be him Ma Dai Ma Bozhan, if he is ranked second, absolutely no one dares to rank first.

For this, even if Huang Zhong had just defected to Ma Chao and joined the Liangzhou Army not long ago, he also knew this-

Don't say more, let's just say that at this time, Ma Dai is still attacking Linxiang City with his own soldiers, and Cheng Pu is still taking his own Jiangdong soldiers and horses to strictly defend and resist at the head of the city.

Cheng Pu still remembered the war in Jiangxia at that time, and at that time he also thought that he could show that he was good, but in the end, he was actually quite disappointed. At least it is still quite different from my expected estimates.

And now, I think I can give the Liangzhou army a little bit of power, so that they can also see that they are not easy to mess with and not vegetarian. But on their own side, they think they have grown, but the Liangzhou Army has not stood still, depending on the situation, they seem to be more powerful than before.

Of course, Cheng Pu would not think that this was his own delusion, and with his years of experience, this was indeed the case. So at this time, he also had to sigh in his heart, this you are improving. People haven't regressed, but they've also improved. If you say that you continue to develop according to this shape, you may not be able to take revenge on the shame.

"People are self-aware". When Han Dang came to find Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu knew that the Liangzhou army was coming to attack Linxiang, and he really didn't think that his side would definitely lose.

But now, when he really got into hands with the Liangzhou Army, he realized that he was still a little too taken for granted. If you go under this situation, you won't have any advantage. Isn't it? In this situation, how do you let yourself say it, how do you do it? I did my best. But I couldn't help others, and it seems that they are just tentatively attacking.

Just when the two sides were attacking and defending fiercely, Huang Zhong was already ordering the soldiers to withdraw their troops at this time. He is looking at the situation is almost the same. So naturally, I don't love war anymore. At this time, it is better to retire the army, and the rest can be talked about tomorrow. Anyway, no matter how much you attack today, you still can't take Linxiang City.

Hearing the sound of Mingjin, Cheng Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that the Liangzhou army had finally withdrawn, or the pressure on his own side would only be getting bigger and bigger.

As for Ma Dai, although there is still some unfinished. But as the commander, you must obey orders. The marshal had already let the soldiers mingjin, so it was naturally impossible for him to fight, but retreated with the soldiers. However, before retreating, he still didn't forget to shout to the head of the city: "Cheng Demou, let you go for the time being today, and let's fight again tomorrow!" ”

When Cheng Pu heard this, he sneered: "Accompany you to the end!" ”

"Okay, that's fine, I'm afraid you won't dare!"

"Why don't you dare!"

Speaking of which, the two of them were silent in the end, Ma Dai led the troops back to their side, while Cheng Pu watched Huang Zhong and them withdraw to the Liangzhou army camp.

Slammed the battlements of the city wall with his fist, Cheng Pu said to his soldiers: "Defend strictly, there must be no mistakes!" ”

"No!" ――

And after finally seeing the Liangzhou army camp, Cheng Pu went down the city and returned home.

Cheng Pu took his guards back to the Taishou Mansion, and as soon as he entered the Mansion, he saw the oncoming Han Dang.

Han Dang looked at Cheng Pu's expression, they had known each other for many years, of course he knew Cheng Pu's thoughts. At this time, I heard him ask: "Demou, is this war unfavorable?" ”

Don't look at what you said before, what Liangzhou Army wants to give a little bit of power, and what will make them suffer, but in Han Dang's eyes, what he really thinks, he may not be the opponent of others. In fact, even if he is a lesson from the past, let's just say this, Cheng Pu's ability is definitely better than his own, so he didn't defend the city, but it doesn't mean that others can't hold it, so Han Dang didn't say anything frustrating, but now when he looks at Cheng Pu's expression, he feels like a mirror in his heart, this is a loss.

When Cheng Pu heard this, he sighed slightly, and then said to Han Dang: "Yigong, let's go, let's talk in the living room!" ”

After hearing this, Han Dang nodded, "Okay, let's go!" ”――

The two came to the meeting room, and after sitting down, Han Dang asked again: "Demou, I don't know how the war is today?" ”

Cheng Pu naturally didn't hide it, and directly told Han Dang about today's siege battle with the Liangzhou army, and when Han Dang heard it, he sighed in his heart, and said that he was still inferior to the Liangzhou army.

This is not that Han Dang "grows the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige", but the fact is that this is the case. Cheng Pu said that he thought that he had made progress, so he was able to fight with the Liangzhou army. But as a result, people have also made progress, so their own side has grown, but they haven't grown up, so there is still such a big gap with others.

As for what Cheng Pu said, in Han Dang's opinion, it was normal. He hadn't expressed his opinion much before, but it didn't mean that he blindly believed Cheng Pu. After all, he had fought with the Liangzhou army brought by Huang Zhong this time, so he naturally knew some things about them. So if there were some things before, he was not easy to say in front of Cheng Pu. Then at this time, it can be said, at least in Han Dang's thoughts, that's what happened-

After Cheng Pudu finished speaking, he said some of his own thoughts, and then he saw that Han Dang seemed to be thinking all at this time, and after a while. He asked, "I don't know what I'm thinking?" ”

When Han Dang heard this, he smiled at Cheng Pu. "This, a few more words, I don't know if to say it at this time?"

When Cheng Pu heard this, he frowned slightly. said bluntly: "Yigong is where he said. You and I have been friends for nearly 20 years, and we can be said to be very familiar and have a deep friendship, but why are we talking about it now? Could it be that he already looks down on me, Cheng Demou can't do it? ”

After Han Dang listened to Cheng Pu's words, he waved his hand again and again, then shook his head and said with a smile: "This, what is this Demou." How could I be? ”

Cheng Pu said: "Then what does Yigong have to say, but he can't say it, between you and me." But what else can't be said to your face? What are the concerns of the righteous father? ”――

"The righteous man has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, but I don't know what I can't say?"

Han Dang was said by Cheng Pu, and he also knew that if there was, it would definitely not be hidden. After all, the relationship between the two is good, if this is the case again, then the consequences will definitely affect the friendship between the two, and this is definitely not what Han Dang wants to see.

So Han Dang also knew that he couldn't say it anymore, so he heard him say to Cheng Pu at this time: "Alas, Demou, I just want to say one sentence, only one sentence, if the war can't be done, then then, early, retreat!" ”

When Cheng Pu heard this, he knew it this time, why did he look at Han Dang who wanted to say but didn't want to say it, and looked at his expression, he was still quite embarrassed, it turned out that this was the case. Cheng Pu had to admit that such a sentence from Han Dang's mouth was indeed unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, Han Dang's words are not unreasonable. However, for myself, this ...... -

Seeing that Cheng Pu was silent for the time being, this was unexpected by Han Dang, originally he thought that even if Cheng Pu was not angry, he would have to refute himself two sentences, but the result was really different, how could it be different from what he thought.

After a long while, Cheng Pu said to Han Dang: "Actually, the words of righteousness should indeed be considered by me. If it's really impossible to fight, I won't force it, of course, I still have to lead the troops to retreat first! ”

When Han Dang heard Cheng Pu's words, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Okay, in this case, I am much more relieved!" Alas, to be honest, I was afraid of you before......"

Cheng Pu smiled, "Yigong, am I such a person who doesn't listen to people's persuasion, hehe!" ”

Han Dang also smiled and shook his head, at this time there is no point in discussing this, is it not important, the important thing is that now Cheng Pu can really think about it, this is better than anything. At least it didn't disappoint Han Dang, isn't this good?

In Jianyang, Pang De ordered Liang Kuan to lead his troops to attack the city.

As for Liang Kuan, he was already gearing up and waiting for his general to give the order, but after Pang De gave the order, he rushed to Jianyang with the Liangzhou sergeant.

Li Tong, who was at the head of the city, saw Liang Wan attacking the Liangzhou soldiers, he sneered a few times disdainfully, and said to himself: "Do you want to use only 20,000 people to break the thorny sun guarded by our army, do you daydream?" Hum! ”

After seeing that Liang Kuan had already led his troops to the city, Li Tong's ring head knife pointed at the city and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Boom...... The head of the city was raining arrows, rushing towards the Liangzhou soldiers led by Liang Kuan. Although they were prepared, they were shielded. But it was still inevitable that the casualties of the soldiers would be killed.

Looking at the fallen Liangzhou sergeant, Li Tong was still very satisfied, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In his opinion. The Liangzhou army is strong, and it can use 20,000 soldiers to break through its own city, but this is still, how to say it, it may not be possible-

It's not that Li Tong is arrogant and arrogant, but he has such confidence. At least the Liangzhou sergeants brought by Pang De were 20,000, not 200,000. So Li Tong has confidence. If it is very much 200,000, it is estimated that he will hold on for two days, and then lead his troops to retreat. After all, Li Tong can be said to be a person who is more knowledgeable about current affairs, and he will not let his soldiers sacrifice in vain.

So the current situation has made Li Tong see hope and confidence. So he naturally wouldn't be afraid of Pang De or anything from the Liangzhou Army. In fact, even if it is a lot of people. Li Tong will not be afraid of anything, it is nothing more than a question of early or late retreat.

suffered a small loss, but Liang Kuan didn't care about this, after all, how can there be immortals in war, and if there are undead people, is it still called war. Besides, it's not that he hasn't seen this before, so of course Liang Kuan doesn't have anything to do with it, after all, he is not a fledgling novice, although he is not experienced. But it's definitely not too much less, or can Pang De let him be the main general of this siege. It's not that the Liangzhou Army is no longer there.

"Brothers, go up!"

"Kill!" ――

Li Tong snorted coldly at the head of the city, "Hmph, brothers, smash!" ”

"No!"

The Liangzhou army, which had begun to attack the city, was warmly welcomed by the Yanzhou army at the head of Jianyang City. This welcome is warm enough, what rolling wood, hot oil are on, if this is not warm, then what is called warm.

The Liangzhou sergeant naturally couldn't bear it, and even Liang Kuan was almost greeted warmly, but he reacted quickly, so it wasn't too big. But those Liangzhou soldiers who didn't dodge and hid slowly, then I have to say that they were unlucky, and the result was either death or injury.

At this time, Li Tong shouted to his own soldiers at the head of the city: "Okay, continue to defend, don't let the enemy attack the city!" ”

At this time, the Yanzhou soldiers were busy guarding the imperial city, so they didn't answer Li Tong's words anymore. However, of course, the soldiers heard his words clearly, so they worked harder, and they had only one idea, that is, they could not let the enemy attack the city.

Liang Kuan, who had been forced to jump off the ladder car once, looked at the city head at this time, and said in his heart, Li Tong Li Wendan, don't be complacent, when our army goes to the city, you will look good!

Then he boarded the ladder car again, but Liang Kuan, as the main general who led the troops to attack the city, was naturally taken care of by the Yanzhou soldiers and soldiers many times, so he was forced to jump off the ladder car again without taking two steps on the ladder. In this regard, Liang Kuan was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but there was nothing he could do but to board the ladder car again, as long as he was not injured, he would continue like this.

Looking at the Liangzhou soldiers who kept attacking, Li Tong couldn't help but sneer. In his opinion, don't look at the strong combat power of the Liangzhou army, but if you want to take the city defended by your own side, it is basically impossible. So he naturally has confidence in this, and he has a little more disdain for Pang De, Liang Kuan, and even for the Liangzhou Army. In his opinion, Pang De brought 20,000 men to attack the city, which clearly looked down on himself and his own Yanzhou army.

But you said that everyone is coming, so naturally, you have to "entertain" the guests well, and just let them see, don't look at your own side is 10,000 less, yes, but you can still resist your attack, if you don't believe it, then let's see, whether this is the case.

As for Pound, who was watching the battle from behind, after seeing his own appearance, he had to admit that there were still a little fewer people and horses he brought. But now it's the case. That's all you can bring, if you have more. The defensive forces of Wancheng and Yuxian are not enough. But now the situation is ......

Looking at it now, the siege force is not enough. At least his own side did not have any advantage, this Pang De could still see it, but the Yanzhou army guarding the Thorn Yang was under the leadership of Li Tong, and played an excellent level.

So in this regard, Pound frowned. The heart said, is it time to let Liang Kuan retreat, and continue like this. It's not good for you.

So I heard him say at this time: "Mingjin! ”

"No!" ――

So the sound of gold sounded on the side of the Liangzhou army, and when Liang Kuan heard it, he hurriedly led his troops to retreat. Truth be told, he's just waiting for this. No way. It's really not his own advantage, so that he, the main general, doesn't want to continue the offensive anymore. So this Mingjin can be said to be just right, or the Liangzhou army can only become less and less dominant, but let the Yanzhou army have an advantage.

Seeing that the Liangzhou army was immediately retreating like a tide, Li Tong said to himself disdainfully: "Count you running fast, or else, hehe, you look good!" ”

However, it is obvious that Li Tong is not ready to let go of the Liangzhou army so lightly. He heard him shout to the Yanzhou sergeant at the head of the city, "Shout with me." The Liangzhou army is all a bad breed, and it is all cowardice! ”

"No! The Liangzhou army is all a bad breed and a coward! ”

"Liangzhou Military ......"

……――

Liang Kuan had just retreated, but even if it was a long distance, it was impossible for him not to hear the shouts of thousands of people.

At this time, when he heard the shouting of the Yanzhou sergeant, he clenched his hands tightly and said to his general: "Great commander, the last general asks for his life, and then fights in Thorn Yang!" ”

Pang De naturally didn't hear it, but he was much calmer than Liang Kuan and those Liangzhou soldiers. Of course, this is only superficial, in fact, in Pang De's heart, why not be unconvinced, and want to fight with the Yanzhou army in Jianyang immediately. However, as the head coach, he really can't help but control his own feelings, let alone show those bad negative things in front of his subordinates and soldiers, so on the surface, he really has nothing.

At this time, I saw that he shook his head at Liang Kuan, and then said: "Don't fall for the enemy's plan!" Back to camp! Walk! ”

When Liang Kuan heard it, he wanted to say something, but Pang De left first and didn't look at him. And the Liangzhou sergeant naturally followed Pang De back to the camp. Liang Kuan looked at it and said in his heart, I am in a hurry if I dare to love, and you are all in a hurry? What is this? ――

Seeing that the Liangzhou army had slowly retreated to his camp, Li Tong smiled slightly, and then stretched out his hand: "Okay, stop!" Today, everyone is working hard to defend the city, but we must continue to defend strictly, pay close attention to the movements of the Liangzhou army outside the city, but the enemy army has moved, and immediately report back to me, there must be no mistake! ”

"No!"

The Yanzhou sergeant at the head of the city shouted loudly, which was indeed deafening, but Li Tong had long been accustomed to this.

After speaking, Li Tong went down from the city. For him, it is no longer meaningful to continue to be in the city, it is better to go back and rest early, and then fight the Liangzhou army tomorrow.

In his opinion, the one named Liang Kuan is not to worry about, but the only one who can worry is Pang De Pang Lingming, and the others are nothing. But fortunately, it was not Pang De who personally led the troops to attack the city, which is indeed a good thing from the overall situation. Of course, from Li Tong's point of view, he hopes to strengthen the enemy, the stronger the better, or how can he make progress?

Liang Kuan hurriedly caught up with the large army and retreated to his own camp.

Entering his general's tent, Pang De glanced at Liang Kuan, who had just come in, and said to him: "You are back, sit down!" ”

"General Xie!"

Liang Kuan sat down, Pang De looked at him and said to him: "What, don't accept it?" ”

Liang Kuan smiled bitterly, "The general can bear it, but my old Liang can't bear it!" ”

Pang De smiled for a moment, and then said to Liang Kuan: "You, you still need to be trained!" The more you are like this, the more you fall for his Li Wenda's plan, don't you understand? ”

When Liang Kuan heard this, he hurriedly said to Pang De: "But general, he Li Tong is ......" (to be continued......)
