The power of religion is reflected here, Zhang Ning is the belief of the disciples of Taiping Dao, and the belief that Zhang Ning died for the Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of Bian Xi, thousands of Yellow Turban Army soldiers turned around and killed back.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, Bian Xi's thousands of people were soon swallowed up by tens of thousands of Montenegrin troops, Yu Digen brandished a big knife and went straight to Bian Xi, Bian Xi's personal soldiers raised their knives to defend and cover Bian Xi, only to see Yu Digen's big knife passing by, flesh and blood flying, dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers were cut down, Bian Xi smiled miserably, and did not retreat, but waved a knife to meet Yu Digen.

Bian Xi, who had already lost his strength, was not Yu Gengen's opponent at all, and was cut off his right arm by Yu Yigen in less than five rounds, and he was drenched in blood, and all the Yellow Turban soldiers saw Bian Xi in such a tragic situation, they all burst into tears, and used their last strength to kill the Black Mountain Army, but soon they all died under the butcher's knife of the Black Mountain Army, Bian Xi saw that the general trend had gone, and wiped his neck with a knife.

After Bian Xibu was completely annihilated by Yu Digen, the west gate of Guangchuan City was no longer barrier-free, and Yu Digen launched a siege war, and Guo Daxian's attack on the north gate has entered a white-hot state, and the Zhenggu Department suffered heavy casualties, still firmly controlled the city, and could not draw more troops to defend the west gate, Zhang Ning personally climbed to the head of the city and commanded the battle to defend the city.

Hundreds of ladders were erected on the city wall at the root of Yu Di, and the ladders they used were learned from Jiang Shengjun, Jiang Sheng began to use the ladder car when he fought with Zhang Ningjun in Le'an, and some people in Guo Daxian's army were in Zhang Ning's army at that time, and later defected to Guo Daxian, he dedicated the pattern of the ladder car to Guo Daxian, Guo Daxian used a lot of treasures to attack the city.

Zhang Ning recognized the ladder car, and was secretly frightened in his heart, afraid that there was also a bed crossbow at the root of Yudi, after an hour of fierce fighting, Yu Di did not use a bed crossbow at the root, Zhang Ning was relieved, so he ordered the soldiers to move the two-bow city-guarding crossbow she invented, these two city-guarding crossbows are similar to Jiang Sheng's four-bow bed crossbow, but this city-guarding crossbow can only fire a large arrow like a thin spear at a time.

Dozens of crossbows to defend the city were erected, Zhang Ning ordered to launch them by himself, and the Yellow Turban soldiers operated the crossbows in a nervous and orderly manner, and the thick arrows shot down from the head of the city, and the soldiers at the root of Yu Di were like sugar gourds, and every seven or eight people were strung together and nailed to the ground, seeing that they could not live.

Zhang Ning personally operated a city-guarding crossbow, aimed at Yu Yigen's generals, and then ordered the soldiers to turn the winch, and with a flick of the machine, the big arrow flew out with a "whoosh".

Yu Yigen heard the sound of breaking the sky, the swarthy arrow was aimed at him, he was startled, hurriedly dodged, rolled the saddle and dismounted, the guards in front of him could not dodge, when the chest was penetrated, several other guards gathered together were also instantly penetrated, and then the remaining big arrow was nailed to Yu Yigen's side, Yu Yigen was shocked into a cold sweat, and had the intention of retreating, and then saw a commotion in the city, and this terrible arrow was no longer fired.

Yu Yigen was puzzled, and at this time he saw that the city head was full of people, and the city crossbow had been demolished, and the city head had disappeared in a short time.

Yu Yigen tried to let the soldiers attack the city, but when he saw that the city was indeed undefended, he set up the ladder car again and waved his army to the city.

It turned out that Zhang Ning really withdrew, and after holding the north gate for several hours, he couldn't stand thousands of casualties, and under the repeated onslaught of Guo Daxian's troops at any cost, he couldn't resist it, so he urgently reported to Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning saw that he was outnumbered, so he ordered all the troops to abandon the city and retreat eastward.

When Guo Daxian and Yu Yigen invaded Guangchuan City, the Yellow Turban Army had all withdrawn, and a large number of materials were also burned.

In the past, Zhang Ning in order to enrich the reserves of Xiuxian, moved a lot of grain and grass materials from Guangchuan, and now he has withdrawn to Xiuxian, and he will not lack food and clothing, but the situation is extremely bad, Liu Bei of the Plains Country also saw the place of Xiuxian, Yuan Shao and Han Fu have no time to take care of it, it is a good opportunity for Liu Bei to expand his territory, so he ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xiuxian and the eastern region of Qinghe Kingdom.

When Zhang Ning withdrew, just in time for Zhang Fei to attack Xiuxian, Zhang Ning ordered the soldiers to quickly set up a crossbow to defend the city, and attacked Zhang Fei's department, Zhang Feibu had never seen such a strong weapon to defend the city, and hundreds of people were shot in less than a quarter of an hour.

Zhang Ning was annoyed that Zhang Fei came to attack, so he sent three thousand cavalry to take the initiative to attack, Zhang Fei only had hundreds of cavalry, most of them were infantry, in the face of the battle-hardened Yellow Turban cavalry was difficult to resist, so he had to retreat, Zhang Fei danced the Zhangba snake spear in person, and the Yellow Turban cavalry who rushed to Zhang Fei was quickly killed, although Zhang Fei was brave, but he was also a mortal body, and in the face of the continuous rush of cavalry, he was also powerless to resist, so he had to withdraw in disgrace.

On the second day, Zhang Fei's troops attacked again, and were killed and retreated, paying the price of more than 1,000 casualties, so Zhang Fei did not dare to act rashly, so he set up camp thirty miles south of Xiuxian County, waiting for Liu Bei to send reinforcements.

In the following days, although there was no war in Xiuxian, Zhang Ning was always restless, and an invisible pressure filled her mind, and she sent hundreds of scouts to probe the surrounding military situation in case of accidents.

At both ends of the table, Chu Yan took the initiative to send a messenger to contact Liu Yu in accordance with Jiang Sheng's instructions, when Wuhuan was pacified, Liu Yu and Jiang Sheng's views were the same, contrary to Gongsun Zhan's strategy of conquest, and now Chu Yan wanted to cooperate with Liu Yu to conspire with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu immediately agreed, and this matter was quickly implemented.

Liu Yu out of the cavalry 80,000, Chu Yan out of the cavalry 20,000, a total of 100,000 troops, the momentum is so great that it went straight to the right Beiping County, Liu Yu's soldiers and horses from Pinggu, soon launched an attack on Wuzhong County, Zou Dan was originally attacking Jizhou Hejian State, found out in advance that Liu Yu was in the transfer of troops, so he led the army back to defense, just when Liu Yu's army attacked Wuzhong County, he rushed back, so he fought against Liu Yu's army.

Liu Yujun's combat strength is average, and compared with the experienced Zou Dan Department, there is more than one level behind, but he wins because there are many people, and the battle with Zou Dan is basically in a state of stalemate, and each has its own victory and defeat.

Chu Yan personally led an army of 20,000 to Youbeiping County, but was blocked by the Great Wall, the marching speed was slow, and he could not reach the designated position on time according to the agreement with Liu Yu, and the plan of Liu Yu and Chu Yan's combined army to attack Youbeiping County had to be postponed.

Gongsun Zan was fighting against Yuan Shao at the boundary bridge, and after receiving the urgent document from Youbeiping County, he was anxious, so he reorganized his troops and horses, and decided to fight with Yuan Shao quickly.

There is no shortage of resourceful people under Yuan Shao, Guo Tu saw through Gongsun Zhan's intentions, so he suggested that Yuan Shao refuse not to fight, and within half a month, Gongsun Chan was forced to retreat, but Yuan Shao disagreed and was determined to face Gongsun Zhan.
