"General, you see, the lord abandoned the fortifications on the mountainside and took the initiative to lead people to withdraw to the mountain."

Someone hurriedly told Zhang He, Zhang He looked at it, and saw it really, although he didn't know what was going on, but he always felt that things were too abnormal.

Zhang He was anxious, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Zhang Liao and others, and it didn't take long for Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Guan Yu to all arrive at Zhang He's camp.

Looking at it from the other side, after a while, Zhang Liao said with a sad face, "Although I don't know what happened, but we should also do something, it is better to take people to pretend to attack the city immediately, so as to attract the troops in the city, in this way, it can also reduce the pressure on the lord, and you can prepare more ships, ready to rush to the aid of Beishan at any time." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and when they returned to the south gate, Zhang Liao immediately gave an order, "Come, beat the drums and gather the generals, and prepare to attack the city!" ”

For a time, the gongs and drums outside the south gate rang out in unison, the shouts shook the sky, and more than 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers sharpened their fists and kept approaching the city wall, putting on a siege posture.

The Jingzhou soldiers who defended the city did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Kuailiang, Kuailiang hurriedly climbed the city tower, and after a while, the other three gates also had signs of attacking the city, Kuailiang was anxious to turn around, cold sweat was rising, and hurriedly divided the troops and sent generals, so that people strictly defended the city, and did not dare to have the slightest distraction.

Although the thunder was loud and the rain was small, the Xuzhou soldiers did not really charge, but Kuai Liang still sent nearly 15,000 people on the city wall.

Regardless of whether Beishan can be taken or not, Kuai Liang will never put all his troops into Beishan.

"Big brother!"

As soon as Gan Ning had breakfast, Ma Kui shouted outside the door, "Big brother, Lu Zhuo has withdrawn, he has taken the initiative to withdraw to the mountain." ”

Gan Ning was locked in the house, Ma Kui became his eyes and ears, and Ma Kui would inform Gan Ning in time of anything that happened in Beishan.

"What? Withdrawn? Why is that? Could it be that they have run out of rolling wood and stones, it shouldn't be! ”

The fortifications prepared by himself, Gan Ning knew very well in his heart that he would never be consumed so quickly, and he could hold on for another day or two, to say the least.

Ma Kui shook his head, "I don't know, why don't I ask?" Seeing that Gan Ning did not object, Ma Kui hurriedly left.

Lu Zhuo is leading people to command the battle on the hill, fortunately Wei Yan is still a little humane, seeing that Lu Zhuo took the initiative to retreat, Wei Yan also recruited those people back, but the premise of this is that Wei Yan led people to successfully occupy the fortifications that Lu Zhuo guarded.

To ensure that there was no more rolling wood and stone in Lu Zhuo's hands, Wei Yan replaced himself with real Jingzhou soldiers and urged them to climb the mountain and charge, Zhang Biao and Li Hu beat the former enemy, and took the initiative to ask Ying to rush up.

The Jingzhou soldiers shouted along the mountain road and charged at the same time, although the mountain road was rugged, under the supervision of Wei Yan, they were still high-spirited and hot.

"Kill, don't go Lu Zhuo."

"Chong, the time has come to make a contribution."

Zhang Biao shouted at the top of his voice, "The general has an order, whoever can cut off Lu Zhuo's head or capture this person will be rewarded, whether he can be promoted and make a fortune, whether he can be a wife and a son, it will be in this dynasty." ”

"Humph......"

Lu Zhuo smiled coldly, saw Ma Long standing behind him, and hurriedly ordered him, "Kill the general who took the lead for me, it's annoying, it's really noisy." ”

"Order!"

Ma Long answered, took off the bow and arrow from his back, bent the bow and set up the arrow, only listened to the whoosh, from pulling the string to releasing the arrow, clean and neat, all in one go.

Just when Ma Kui came closer, he looked down, and there was a scream halfway up the mountain, Zhang Biao leaned back, and there was an extra cold arrow on his neck, and he was desperate on the spot, and his eyes were round before he died, and his face was full of horror and unwillingness.

Ma Long raised his might, and there was a burst of cheers on the hill, "Okay, it's really beautiful." ”

Ma Kui roughly estimated that from here to Zhang Biao, it was no less than two hundred steps away, and Ma Long was so accurate, it can be said that he was wearing Yang in a hundred steps, and it was really admirable.

Ma Long's expression was cold, and he smiled innocently, with no smug look on his face, as if this was just a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning to him.

Li Hu was only three or four steps away from Zhang Biao, and as soon as he was stunned, Zhang Biao was shot to death, Li Hu's heart sank in fright, and a cool breath suddenly surged from the soles of his feet to the top door, and his whole body was cold, it was too incredible.

Although Zhang Biao died, it did not have much impact on the Jingzhou soldiers, after all, Wei Yan was their main general, and these soldiers brought out by Wei Yan were strictly disciplined and quite strong on weekdays.

Before the fierce battle began, Ma Kui hurriedly asked, "General, why did you abandon the fortifications halfway up the mountain?" ”

Zhou Zhi hurriedly scolded, "Damn, you don't know, Wei Yan, the dog thief, is too cunning, and he actually got a lot of people to put on military uniforms and use him as cannon fodder. ”

Zhou Zhi gritted his teeth and glared, clenched the big knife in his hand hard, and was about to explode, eager to rush up and chop Wei Yan into pieces.

Ma Kui said, "Oh, I see, but, general, you lead the troops to retreat to the mountain, and then, although you still have a favorable mountain situation, but the advantage is also quite limited, and white-knuckle battles are inevitable, and your casualties will inevitably increase." ”

Lu Zhuo nodded, "Don't worry, even so, Wei Yan doesn't want to take Beishan." ”

There are only 1,000 people around Lu Zhuo, including 500 people from the Flying Tiger Battalion, and Zhang He sent hundreds of additional reinforcements before, but with such a small number of manpower, Ma Kui is not very optimistic.

Ma Kui sighed and turned around to leave, but Lu Zhuo stopped him, "You go back and tell Gan Ning, let him rest assured, the people are in the mountain, and the Jingzhou soldiers want to recapture this mountain, you just eat and sleep, and don't pay attention to anything." ”

The more Ma Kui listened, the more he didn't feel good, and he dared to be affectionate, as if Lu Zhuo was leading people to protect them.

The more Ma Kui thought about it, the more he had a headache, so he had to turn around and go back to Gan Ning, frankly speaking, Gan Ning's heart was really shaken, first, Lu Zhuo was good to him, and second, he had no shame to return to Jingzhou Bing.

At the beginning, in order to save the lives of more than 200 brothers, Gan Ning let them take the initiative to put down their blades, this decision, the result evolved into the current situation, although there was no surrender, but the people of the Jinfan Battalion had food and drink on the mountain, moved freely, and were treated preferentially, once this matter was known by Kuailiang, Gan Ning could not explain it clearly.

What's more, the reason why Wei Yan desperately attacked the mountain, in the final analysis, was to blame Gan Ning, if he hadn't lost Beishan, Wei Yan would not have done this, and Shouchun would not have fallen into passivity.

Yesterday, Wei Yan killed and injured seven or eight hundred people, and this account naturally had to be counted on Gan Ning's head, the more he thought about it, the more ashamed Gan Ning felt in his heart, just one wrong step, he couldn't turn back, not to mention, Gan Ning didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
