The group did not dare to delay for a moment, as Guan Yu went straight to the plain city tower to start deploying, now there are only 2,000 soldiers in the plain, plus more than 1,000 strong men who came with Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, plus the 3,000 crossbowmen brought by Shan Jing, it is more than enough to defend the city, if the enemy army is large, these people can also buy them time to hold on and wait for help.

Not long after everything was arranged, Zhou's voice rang out: "General Guan, look! ”

Everyone looked in the direction that Zhou Cang pointed, only to see a black piece of dust rising from the distant horizon, which was extremely faint at first, and the more smoke and dust came later, Guan Yu's brows furrowed, so soon? A final order was given to close the gates. The soldiers of the county have already dispersed the people who entered and exited the city gate, and at the moment when the cavalry of the Yuan army galloped to the city wall, the gate of the plain slowly closed in the rattling, presumably everyone on the city wall took a deep breath together, Guan Yu was much calmer, after all, all this was in his calculations, the reason why he has not closed the city gate is just that there is still a trace of luck in his heart, and now the Yuan army is too busy to take care of himself, he should not rashly attack the plain, of course, if it is the Cao army, then it will not be so big.

Outside the city, after the cavalry of the Yuan army arrived first, the black and overwhelming foot soldiers also killed towards the plain one by one, and as the cavalry failed to attack, the speed of the infantry charge began to slow down, and as the cavalry retreated, the Yuan army began to assemble outside the range of the crossbow arrows of the plain guards.

"There are at least 20,000 enemies! We have less than six thousand people! Can this plain be kept? Looking at the retreating cavalry of the Yuan army, Shan Jing was a little weak-hearted. I didn't expect to be trapped in the plains, what a fucking bad luck!

"It's just a rat. Be not worth mentioning! ”

Guan Yu glanced at Shan Jing with a face and turned to everyone. Fu Fu smiled: "Don't say that there are only more than 20,000 people, and then tens of thousands." and not afraid of him! When he said this, he snorted coldly, and didn't leave him any affection: "If General Shan is afraid, leave at this time, and Guan will not stop him!" ”

Guan Yu didn't leave any affection at all, but his Shan Jing was not easy to get along with, but at this moment, Shan Jing not only did not tear his face with Guan Yu, but also accompanied him with a smiling face, saying that he had delayed just now, and he said something that would destroy his morale. I also hope that Guan Yu will forgive me, this is not to say that he is afraid of Guan Yu, but his current situation plus the siege of the Yuan army, where can he go, the Yuan army outside has cavalry, Mo said that he only brought 3,000 crossbowmen, even if these 3,000 people are cavalry, he can leave under the eyes of the army, if he is not thoughtful. He had already turned around and left when Guan Yu asked him to leave. Since he can't go, he must not turn his face with Guan Yu, and it is precisely under the judgment of the situation that he will finally say that he is willing to follow General Guan to defend the plain!

"Okay, since General Shan is willing to stay, then Yuan Jun is even more important."

After speaking. Guan Yu's face turned full, and he said in a deep voice: "Can General Shan temporarily borrow a thousand archers?" ”

"General Guan is out here!" Although Shan Jing was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that the military emergency at this time was not the time to act righteously. Generous, he said: "Since ancient times, there has been no second order. Before the end of this battle, Shan Mou was also under the coordination of the general! ”

"Good!"

Guan Yu looked at Shan Jing. He would never have imagined that Shan Jing would give him full authority to command the troops, if he talked about the official rank, Shan Jing was much higher than him, who made the family the Yanzhou Assassin appointed by Gongsun Zhan, but he actually agreed to hand over the command, Guan Yu was also happy, and his opinion of him also changed, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Yuan Jun in the distance, and said: "Since this is the case, then Guan Mou is welcome." ”

"Yuan's army has begun to besiege the city!" The soldier in charge of the lookout on the arrow tower of the West Gate hurriedly shouted.

"Panic what!" Guan Yu scolded the soldier. Fortunately, before the Yuan army besieged the city, Guan Yu had sent a messenger from the east gate, otherwise he would have been discovered by the Yuan army!

"It's coming!"

Zhang Fei's voice sounded: "Damn, be sure to let me go down and meet Yan Liang Xiao'er at that time!" Looking at the scattered Yuan army, I have been unhappy last time I was escaped by Yan Liang in Luoyang, and the previous time I was robbed by Xu Chu, now when I see him again, the nameless fire in my heart suddenly rises, and I point to the towering and fluttering Yanzi battle flag to ask for battle.

"Yide just guards the north gate according to the plan." Guan Yu refused Zhang Fei's request to assign the defenders in the Plains City to the four gates after the battle, and before he didn't know the main direction of Yuan's army, he could only leave a thousand single crossbowmen as a backup, and only wait for the battle to start and then adapt to the scorching situation, and said to everyone: "I hope you will work together to protect the plain." ”

Everyone agreed, Zhou Cang took the lead in retreating to the south gate, and Pei Yuanshao also followed to the east gate, followed by Zhang Fei walking to the north gate with a stupid face.

Yuan Jun walked neatly, like a military parade, showing force under the Plains City, and at this time, the main general Yan Liang and the deputy general who were standing in front of the formation were watching the defense of the Plains, the former whipped and pointed to the Plains City Tower, quite regretful, and said: "The Plains reacted so quickly, it's a pity." ”

"Although the sneak attack was unsuccessful, Gongji doesn't need to regret it, it is expected that the land of the plains is projectile, and it is only a matter of time before this city is captured!"

The judge looked at the plain city and said: "Besides, the plain defenders are only a few thousand, in a few days, I can take Guan Yu's head and go to the main office to report the victory!" ”

"Haha...... What Jeongnam said is exactly. ”

Yan Liang had a secret path in his heart, and it was time for him to let out this evil breath. Yan Liang, who had failed several times, finally found a place where he could vent the evil anger in his heart.

As soon as Yan Liang's words fell, he suddenly saw a flag hanging on the upper floor of Xicheng, with the inscription "Yanzhou Thorn History List." Shocked, he hurriedly looked at the trial and confirmation, and said, "Yanzhou Thorn Shishan, is it ......?" ”

"Is it a single scripture?" The judge looked at the newly erected flag on the city tower.

"Who else but him?" Yan Liang's eyes were like spitting fire, and he said, "How could he appear in the plains!" ”

"Gongji still remembers the scout before leaving the camp, and he came to the plains to collect grain! In this way, it seems that Shan Jing was blocked by our army on the plains! The judge said: "It seems that the plain is in trouble for a while! ”

"Single."

Yan Liang snorted and said, "It's just right to come, I'll go up and meet him." As he spoke, he came out of the crowd and came to the city of the plains, beyond the range of crossbow arrows. shouted loudly: "In Xia Yanliang, I don't know that General Shan can be in the city." If you are here, dare to ask General Shan to talk about it! ”

Guan Yu and Shan Jing heard Yan Liang's muffled shout. The probe went out of the city, only to hear Shan Jing smile and say: "It turned out that General Yan came in person." He arched his hand and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, it's good that General Yan doesn't come to harm!" ”

Yan Liang looked towards the city tower and said with a smile: "What General Shan said is that if he hadn't seen the general's banner here today, General Shan would have died in Jizhou!" ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Shan Jing's eyes, and he said: "The general is still not dead, how can I abandon the general and leave first." ”

Yan Liang's eyes were full of anger, but he said with a smile: "What General Shan said is true." However, Yan has already prepared fine wine in the camp, and he will invite the general to come to my camp for a drink another day! ”

Shan Jing snorted coldly in his heart, but laughed loudly in his mouth, and said: "Shan Mou has also prepared high-quality wine and food in the city, just waiting for the general to come and talk!" ”

The two met like old friends, if they didn't know the relationship between the two, they were really inviting each other, but only those who knew the grievances between the two understood the tension, Yan Liang arched his hand. Retreating to the front of the army, he said to the judge: "Due south, are we attacking or ......?"

"Today is not the same as in the past, and the military law cloud is surrounded by ten rules. At this time, with the existing strength of our army, it is best not to attack. "The trial dispelled the plan to storm the plains as soon as he saw the single scripture.

"What does due south mean?" Yan Liang looked at the trial in confusion. If you don't storm it, how can you conquer the plains?

"If we storm the plains, the losses will naturally be great. If you don't surround the point and send reinforcements, one will destroy its reinforcements, and the other will wait for the plains to run out of food. Self-defeating. The judge suggested.

Yan Liang didn't want to change his temperament from the past, but when he thought of the single Jing in the city, he was furious, and said busily: "But the general order given by the lord is to try to go down the plain quickly, and Zhengnan didn't say before that ten rules are around?" At this time, the number of troops is less than four times, and it is dangerous to surround it. ”

"Gongji, what the lord said is that when there are no reinforcements on the plain, you can fight quickly, but at this time there are reinforcements on the plain, if I can't wait for a long time to attack, and the reinforcements of the other army arrive, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

The judge reminded: "In this case, there is only one way to besiege the city and send reinforcements, so that the plain can not send grain and Gongsun, and it can eliminate the reinforcements of Gongsun, so wouldn't it be a both?" As for the thieves in the city, there are only 3,000 elites alone, which is really not to be feared! ”

"But if Guan Yu and the reinforcements attack him from both sides? Isn't it the enemy on the belly and back? Don't forget that Liu Lan's Liaodong Army can be Gaotang again! Yan Liang said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, Gao Tang has Cao Cao to contain, if the Liaodong Army dares to leave, Meng De can calmly cross the river and drive straight in, Guan Yu will never dare to easily mobilize the Liaodong Army, so it will only ask Gongsun Chan for help, but now Gongsun Chan is too busy to take care of himself, not only the plain wants to be saved, but the more urgent thing is Gu'an, if I am Gongsun Zhan, I want to rescue Gu'an first, but the plain will never come to the rescue! Even if they really come to the rescue, they must not be the main force, and the number of people will not be large! ”

"Why is that?"

Yan Liang looked at the trial in confusion, but he thought about it in his heart, and it didn't take long for the suspicion to be fully opened, but at the same time, he listened to the trial and said: "Gongsun Chan is most concerned about his back road, how can he send a large army to save the plain?" Therefore, even if Gongsun Chan sends reinforcements, he must be a very small number of old, weak, sick and disabled, because he wants to act for Liu Lan, so Liu Lan has nothing to say, after all, Gongsun Chan sent troops to help, as for whether he can save the plain, he has no choice! ”

After a pause, he snorted and laughed: "At that time, if the plain really dares to send troops out of the city to attack with reinforcements on both sides, the general will take this opportunity to break through the plain in one fell swoop!" ”

Yan Liang nodded frequently, and suddenly asked again: "Although Zhengnan is reasonable, if Gongsun Chan doesn't send troops to save the plain, wouldn't he miss the lord's important matter?" ”

"It's okay, as long as we encircle here so that the plain can't send grain and grass, just wait until Gongsun Chan retreats, and we will go north, and then the general only needs to cooperate with the eldest prince to leave Gongsun Chan behind, and the lord will not care about the gains and losses of the plain, let alone care that the plain cannot be attacked for a long time, but will only reward the general for going north in time, so it is also a great achievement!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, in the dense forest on the side of the plain, a stout middle-aged man with a resolute face stood in the forest, this person was Wang Yun's general Wang Hu, who was ordered to come to Xiangping from Chang'an to deliver the letter. ”

He wanted to go forward, but he couldn't enter the plain, wanted to go back, but he didn't complete the task, he hesitated for a while, he didn't go, he didn't go, at this moment, he saw that Yuan Jun sent a small force to cut wood, and the place where he was hiding was where he was, knowing that if he didn't escape, he would be caught, and he sighed.
