Chapter 277: Shrunken Turtle

Zhang Liao was reading a book in his tent today, and he was reading Zuo Chuan. He was a rough man, and he usually just followed Lu Wenhou to charge into battle, selling coolies. Now that he is in command of a team of soldiers and horses, he naturally has to have some insight.

He didn't pay attention to the team that went out to scold outside the city, he was very clear about the level of Yuan Jun, and Yuan Tan, who was the most capable of fighting, had already been defeated under him, and what movement could be made of the rest.

Speaking of which, Zhang Liao and Yuan Tan have been entangled for two or three years, and the two sides are also very familiar. So at this time, I remembered that Yuan Tan's head was cut off by my own hands, and I was also a little embarrassed. Perhaps, this is the fate of military generals. That's what he thought. I was tied up in Xiapi City back then, if it weren't for Guan Yunchang's words of intercession, wouldn't I be in a different place?

An hour ago, he heard that the people in the city were dry and the opponent just didn't fight, so he just smiled slightly and didn't care.

It was all in his expectation. The south skin wall is high and the city is strong, and it is reasonable to say that not everyone will be as upright as Yuan Tan, even if they can't beat it, they will bravely rush out.

But immediately, when he received the news, he was immediately shocked.

"What! Defeated? ”

The herald soldier nodded and said, "Yes, there are five hundred people on the other side......"

Zhang Liao put down the scroll, grabbed the weapon at hand, and then went out of the camp tent and ordered: "Mobilize the troops, kill them." As soon as he finished the order, he had already led his war horse over, and he turned over and got on the horse, and his movements were extremely smooth.

There was a person next to him: "General, didn't you say that we came to Nanpi this time to contain the main thing?" If you go up like this, will you directly fight them? ”

Zhang Liao sat on the horse and said: "It's true that containment is the main thing, but now that people have killed them, it's not good to take it seriously." ”

"Huh?" The man was stunned.

Zhang Liao said: "How much comes, how many kills, this is our response." ”

Yuan Xi applauded Xu Dayan at the head of the city, and as soon as this guy rushed out, it was like a tiger descending the mountain, and it was out of control, not only killing hundreds of people who were scolding the war, but also killing the soldiers and horses who came to reinforce the other party for a while, leaving dozens of corpses. When the guards at the head of the city saw this scene, they were very relieved, and after listening to the noise of the gang all afternoon, they finally calmed down.

Xu Dayan was so angry that he heard the gold at the head of the city, so he had to go back sullenly, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he immediately ran up to the city wall and asked, "Why is the gold ringing?" My emotions are just coming up. ”

It's like foreplay, but it suddenly stops, which is especially difficult for him to accept.

Yuan Xi said lightly: "You have already made a noise, and the main general on the opposite side will come out immediately, why don't you hide first?" ”

Xu Dayan said: "I'm here to kill their main general, what are you hiding?" ”

Xu Dayan complained bitterly in his heart, if he didn't kill a main general, how could he be promoted?

But there was someone next to him: "It's out." ”

Yuan Xi ignored Xu Dayan and immediately looked outside. I saw that among the flowers, a person flashed out of the enemy army, with a long knife in his hand, which was extremely powerful.

Xu said with big eyes: "Zhang Liao just looks like this, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms, what is there to be afraid of?" Second son, I'll go on and kill him. ”

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, watch him attack the city." ”

Xu Dayan was depressed, and said, "He brought such a few people out, how could he attack the city?" ”

Indeed, although Zhang Liao came out, there were only five or six hundred people around him, and the number was not much. To use these people to attack the city is simply to send them to death.

I saw that after Zhang Liao came out of the battle, he looked around, then waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately rode forward, came to a closer place, and shouted loudly: "Our General Zhang invites you to go out of the city to fight, which warrior dares to come out and fight alone?" ”

Xu Dayan's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Heads-up? Great, kill Zhang Liao, and we'll break the siege. I'll go! ”

Yuan Xi said: "Archery!" ”

Whoosh, arrows fell from the sparse head of the city, either without the right head, or fell to the ground weakly, without greeting the man at all. But Rao was like this, and the man still consciously took a few steps back. A gust of wind blew, but his voice was still drowned in the wind.

Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, just waited quietly.

After a while, there was no movement at all under Nanpi City.

An adjutant general of Zhang Liao hurriedly found someone to come and asked, "They fought just now?" ”

"That's right, five hundred people came out at once, all of them were strong, and the blockers were invincible......"

When Zhang Liao heard it, he just frowned and said, "Then let's wait a little longer." ”

After more than half an hour of messy wind, the sun in the sky gradually set in the west, and the cold wind rose immediately. The people on Zhang Liao's side looked at the city and couldn't help but curse angrily, and there were also collective coaxing. The people sent out to curse the war were replaced by three, but the city was as silent as death.

Xu Dayan looked carefully at the head of the city, and hurriedly asked Zhan to say: "They said that we don't dare to fight with their main general, so I'll go down and show them." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Without my order, no one is allowed to open the city gate." ”

This seems to be said to other people, but everyone knows that it only takes effect on Xu Dayan. After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he left, and the remaining few people from the General Staff went back to study tactics. The remaining few civilian army comrades could only comfort Xu Dayan and said: "Battalion Commander Xu, it's hard work, take care of your strength, maybe you have a chance tomorrow." ”

Xu Dayan said angrily: "Don't comfort me, I think when I was the company commander, you couldn't even be the squad leader." ”

The men snorted and left. Let Xu Dayan be helpless.

Zhang Liao also felt strange when he stood in the cold wind, and if he didn't open the city gate in the afternoon and attack bravely, why didn't he move at this time. What does this mean?

He said to the people around him: "One last time, scold again, and if there is no response, we will go back." ”

As a result, as soon as the scolding man went up, someone shouted at the head of the city: "Our commander has returned home, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people in Zhang Liao's array couldn't help but lose their demeanor and scolded. Zhang Liao is also a little faceless, so many people, is it just standing stupidly with you this afternoon.

Before Zhang Liao could react, his subordinates were already angry, and they all asked for battle: "General, let's attack the city, and I will lead people to kill the first one." These little bunnies really look down on people. ”

In the midst of the disturbances, Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Let's go back first, even if we want to attack the city, it will be late." ”

Everyone looked at the sun that was about to set, and they knew in their hearts that it was indeed the case, but they couldn't bear it.

Zhang Liao said: "Don't forget, our task is to wait for the lord's army to come, and we can't use our strength at this time." Later, you still need to show your face in front of the lord. ”

"Uh-oh." When the soldiers heard this, their hearts suddenly became steady.
