Linjin City.

Countless arrows and flying stones flew in the air, and finally landed in the Li Yijun or Ma Tengjun, although they failed to splash any waves, but they also brought countless screams.

However, these screams did not cause the soldiers on both sides to hesitate. The soldiers of Li Yijun still stepped on a firm pace, and continued to rush towards the city wall along the ladder cart. The Ma Teng army on the city wall mechanically threw rolling stones and logs at the rushing enemy, and at the same time beckoned them with spears and arrows.

"Cheer me up! Whoever dares to let the enemy rush to the city wall will wait to be punished! Cheng Yi took his guards to patrol back and forth on the city wall, shouting.

On the side, Duan Xuan silently looked at the scene in front of him under the escort of his personal guards, although he said that he would hand over the matter of commanding the city defense to Cheng Yi, but how could Duan Xuan really rest assured that he didn't care about it completely? And Duan Xuan also hoped that through this city battle, he would observe Cheng Yi's ability.

"At present, this Cheng Yi's talent is just like that, just a reckless man with martial arts and bravery......" Duan Xuan thought secretly in his heart, and then his eyes fell on the enemy camp outside the city, "Li Yi is worthy of being known as the number one general in the world, even if it is not the elite troops under his command, with only two young generals, the troops can exert this kind of combat effectiveness." And it seems that the current offensive is just a test ...... In addition, Gao Shun is leading the army to rush here......"

Thinking of this, Duan Xuan's expression was a little sad, because he found that it seemed to be a very difficult thing to defend Linjin City by himself. It's just that he doesn't seem to have much to do other than stick to it. He knew that now was just a prelude to the war, although the troops invested by both sides had reached nearly 300,000, but neither Ma Teng nor Li Yi had used the main force.

On Li Yi's side, the famous trapping camp and the flying cavalry battalion were not dispatched, and on Ma Teng's side, 100,000 Liangzhou soldiers and 20,000 flying bear troops who surrendered to Ma Teng were still gathered in Chang'an. Well...... I have to say that in the past, Dong Zhuo really raised a lot of troops in order to stabilize the defense line of Hedong and Hongnong. As a result, now, all of them are cheaper than Ma Teng and Li Yi.

On the other side, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others stood outside the tent and silently looked at the battle ahead, their expressions extremely solemn. After a long while, Zhao Yuncai sighed helplessly, "Mingjin." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao clenched his fists, and there was a trace of hesitation in his expression, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.

Not long after, a huge golden sound sounded on the battlefield, and hearing this sound, the soldiers of Li Yijun's army quickly retreated like a tide.

"Hahaha! What Zhao Zilong Zhang Wenyuan, but that's it! Cheng Yi saw Li Yijun who was retreating, and immediately laughed proudly.

"Hehe, I heard that Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are Li Yi's favorite generals, and Zhao Yun is one of the disciples of the former spear prodigy Yuan, which can make them ......helpless," Duan Xuan said with a chuckle when he heard this.

"Hahaha~ Disciple of the Spear God? Even the former gun god is just a bunch of boring people bragging! The world is so big, there is always this kind of small ...... that I don't know what to call it" Cheng Yi laughed when he heard this, and his tone was full of contempt and disdain. However, if Cheng Yi paid attention to Duan Xuan's eyes at this time, he would definitely be able to find that in the depths of Duan Xuan's eyes, there was also deep contempt. And the object of contempt is still himself.

Suddenly, Cheng Yi looked over suddenly, and his eyes were blazing, so frightened that Duan Xuan thought that his disdainful gaze had been discovered by Cheng Yi.

"General, the subordinate has a plan to break the enemy army!" Cheng Yi said confidently.

"What else can you come up with?" Duan Xuan was disdainful in his heart, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Cheng Yi with a chuckle and asked, "I don't know what Captain Chengdu's plan is?" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Yi showed an unfathomable smile, looked at Duan Xuan and said softly, "Xia Guan thought that the enemy army had just attacked the city and retreated today, and it must be demoralized. If at this time the subordinate led an elite army to sneak out of the city and attack the enemy army at night, the enemy army would definitely flee in confusion......"

"......" Hearing Cheng Yi's proposal, Duan Xuan was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "Although Captain Chengdu's plan is wonderful, but the enemy army is well guarded, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." Speaking of this, he may not feel that he may not be able to convince Cheng Yi, so he hurriedly said again, "And now our army only needs to hold the city to block the enemy, so why should Captain Cheng personally go out?" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Yi immediately wanted to refute, but his mouth opened, and finally he said in a helpless tone, "Since this is the case, it will be according to the general's wishes." ”

Seeing Cheng Yi finally leave, Duan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Shaking his head, he turned his head and glanced at the enemy camp outside the city, Duan Xuan gave two orders to the military marquis who was in charge of the night vigil, and followed him down to his mansion.

At night, whether it was Li Yijun or the soldiers in Linjin City, most of them had already fallen asleep, but Duan Xuan did not rest. At this time, he was holding his chin and looking at the map on the table in front of him, which was a topographic map of the Linjin area, on which there were many marks that had been circled by Duan Xuan.

During this period of time, Duan Xuan was thinking about how to hold Linjin City without reinforcements every day, not because he wanted to gain Ma Teng's trust, but because Duan Xuan was reluctant to hold the power in his hands. He knew that Ma Teng had always been very jealous of himself, and if he couldn't keep Linjin, he would definitely give Ma Teng an excuse to ask him for his guilt and convict himself in prison.

Because compared to Yang Ding, Duan Xuan is a general with real talent and learning! Even if he is compared to that Xu Rong, he is not inferior at all. And such a person, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, is also an enemy general who has just surrendered himself. Don't talk about Ma Teng, whoever is it will be jealous, right? Well...... Maybe Cao Cao is an exception.

Therefore, Duan Xuan didn't want to give Ma Teng this opportunity, so he had to choose only one way to defend Linjin City. At the very least, it is to hold Linjin City before Li Yi's main force moves south.

Surrender Li Yi? Duan Xuan hadn't thought about it, although he had thought about it before, but under Jia Xu's persuasion, he was now bent on serving Ma Teng. Because as Jia Xu said, on Li Yi's side, it is impossible for him to continue to stay in his current position, and the best result is just to be idle. This kind of result is simply unacceptable to Duan Xuan, who has tasted the taste of power.

"Only, how do you repel the enemy army? I'm afraid it's not a way to just hold on......" Duan Xuan thought to himself.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and at the same time, there was a hurried shout, "General, something is wrong!" ”
