After Gao Changgong withdrew from the Meridian Valley, he returned to Wuguan.

He repaired in Wuguan for two days, and then set off to return to Wancheng, although he brought not many cavalry, but it was the only cavalry team in Jingzhou, which was needed in many places.

After Gao Changgong received the order, he immediately marched in the direction of Bowang, but after going around there, he found that the two sides were safe, so he returned to the military camp in Xi'e County. The military camp in Xi'e County was built by Wang Yanzhang, who was stationed here to support Bowang's Shang master and apprentice. Xi'e is more than 30 miles away from Wancheng and more than 10 miles away from Bowang, which can be said to be the northern barrier of Wancheng.

There are also more than 10,000 soldiers in Xi'e County, and Wang Yanzhang has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of not only defending the direction of Bowang, but also guarding the northern pheasant county. Although Pheasant County is its own force, as long as you come down from Woniu Mountain, you can take Pheasant County, and a sneak attack will definitely be able to take Pheasant County, and then attack the flank of Xi'e. Although the combat effectiveness of the small force is very small, if it is taken by surprise, it is very likely to sneak attack and take Xi'e.

Wang Yanzhang received Gao Changgong, "How about going to Guanzhong?" ”

Mentioning Guanzhong and his party, Gao Changgong was very happy, he could be said to have traveled thousands of miles this time, just to complete a suspicious soldier, which can be described as an unprecedented feat. He smiled and said to Wang Yanzhang: "Although it is very hard, it is worth the trip. After a thousand miles of battle, mobilizing the enemy army is a feat that has not been accomplished by predecessors. ”

The two chatted about Guanzhong for a while, and then Wang Yanzhang said: "You also came to Xi'e this time to support General Shang, right?" ”

Gao Changgong nodded, "That's true, this time Cao Caoxing's army is coming, it is bound to want to recapture Nanyang, there are frequent battles, if there is no cavalry to help, General Shang will inevitably be in a passive position." ”

Wang Yanzhang nodded, "Indeed, with cavalry, our support can be much faster." ”

After Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang set up camp in Bowang, Cao Cao also took Yu Ban and others to Duyang, and sent Cao Chun and Xu Chu to Bowang with tigers and leopards to help.

Master Shang and his apprentices only had 8,000 soldiers and horses in Bowang City, and the remaining 15,000 were in the military camps south and east of Bowang, and the three places supported each other. Coupled with the reinforcements from Xi'e, Bowang's defense can be said to be very strong. Guarding the city of Bowang were Shang Shitu and Feng Xi, Deng Fang was in the east camp, and Liu Yong was in the south camp.

Feng Xi, Deng Fang, and Liu Yong, the three young generals, were all promoted to lieutenants because of their merits in the last battle. These three people are still very optimistic about their masters and apprentices, at least they are very open-minded, and they are much stronger than those captains who were born in the army.

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang began to attack Bowang, and Cao Chun and Xu Chu led their cavalry to cruise in the east and south camps. Deng Fang and Liu Yong wanted to go out of the city to rescue, but they were blocked by Cao Chun and Xu Chu. The Tiger and Par Rider is the number one army in the world, and there is no one! Even if Zhang Yi's soldiers have been trained to such an elite, they still have no power to fight back in the face of the tiger and leopard riders, and can only fight back with arrows on the spot.

Cao Chun and Xu Chu blocked Deng Fang and Liu Yong outside the barracks, unable to support Bowang. Master and apprentice Shang could only resist Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang by themselves, but Master and Apprentice Shang were still at ease. Although Bowang City is not very high, the elite soldiers who defend the city may suffer a loss against the cavalry in the field, but the master and apprentice who defend the city are really not scared!

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang attacked for two days in a row, but Bowang was still solid.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, a cavalry suddenly came out from the west, and directly rushed into the siege team, slashing and slashing wantonly.

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang were stunned, they released scouts in the west, why didn't anyone come back to report? This cavalry is in Western Hubei, and they have been guarding against Western Hubei, and the scouts have not been sent less, but why hasn't anyone come back to report it?

Of course, he was shot by Gao Changgong! The cavalry led by Gao Changgong has always been known for its speed, and it is only more than ten miles from Xi'e to Bowang, and it can be reached in less than half an hour. Gao Changgong deliberately sent a large number of scouts to hunt and kill the Cao army scouts, and then quickly approached Bowang and raided the siege troops.

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang glanced at each other, "Gongming, you go and organize the cavalry, and I'll take the army over first!" ”

Xu Huang agreed and hurried to organize the cavalry. To deal with cavalry, cavalry is the first choice. Xiahou Yuan rushed up with a large army, and he had to rely on a large number of people to bring down the siege troops. After expelling Gao Changgong's cavalry for some distance, Xu Huang immediately rushed over with the cavalry, wanting to fight Gao Changgong.

Gao Changgong didn't compete with Xu Huang, Jingzhou is just his cavalry, if it's gone, it's really gone, how can it be lost at will? He led the cavalry to shoot arrows and kill the enemy, but he didn't fight hard with Xu Huang. When the arrows were almost used, Gao Changgong immediately led his troops back to Xi'e to replenish them.

Xu Huang also led the cavalry to Xi'e, wanting to block Gao Changgong. But when they were about to reach Xi'e, thousands of archers suddenly rushed out of the woods on both sides of the road and began to shoot arrows at Xu Huang's cavalry. The arrows were like flying locusts, blinding Xu Huang's cavalry. Xu Huang saw that the woods on both sides could not carry out cavalry assault at all, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

After Xu Huang withdrew, Wang Yanzhang led people out of the woods, gathered the horses on the road, and took away the injured horses, and those horses that were about to die were killed directly, and then the meat was cut off and taken away, and other things were buried directly. In this battle, three or four hundred enemies were killed, including nearly 100 cavalrymen, and more than 60 war horses were captured, all of which were a little injured, but as long as they were treated a little, there was no problem.

Xu Huang returned to the camp, and Xiahou Yuan saw that Xu Huang came back in some embarrassment, and couldn't help asking, "How is it?" ”

Xu Huang shook his head and said: "The enemy has an ambush, and a large number of archers have been ambushed in the woods, so I can only withdraw my troops." ”

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, "There are so many good generals under Zhang Yi's command!" Not to mention a master and apprentice, today's cavalry general is also a good general, he can kill him by surprise, and then lead you into an ambush. ”

Xu Huang blamed himself and said: "It's because I didn't pay attention to the terrain!" ”

"Komeito doesn't have to blame himself, if it were me, I would also be ambushed! Zhang Yi lacks cavalry, as long as this cavalry is eliminated, it will be much easier for us to attack Bowang. Xiahou Yuan comforted.

Xu Huang didn't blame himself too much, after all, the loss was not very big. He was now even more troubled, "How are we going to attack the city next?" I'll divide my forces against the enemy's cavalry! ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded, "That's fine, the cavalry is useless when attacking the city, and the cavalry used to drive Zhang Yi away is just right." ”
