He stood in the tower of the south gate of Chenliu with his gun, his brows furrowed deeply, and he looked not far away, Zhang Jun's iron bucket-like camp, his expression became more and more solemn, and his disappointment became more and more obvious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Five days have passed since the defeat of the day.

That night, his breakthrough was seen through by Zhang Yuan, and under the pressure of Ran Min's iron hooves, more than half of the 5,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and even Tao Sheng died under Ran Min's gun.

Colonel Zuo, who failed to break through, had to lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Chen Liucheng and continue to trap the lonely city.

Over the course of five days, Zhang Yuan strengthened the siege of Chen Liu, completely isolating the city from the outside world, so that Zuo Xiao had no way to learn about Zhang Yan.

Colonel Zuo could also guess what was going on outside.

Zhang Yan's strategy mistake must have also suffered a heavy blow from Zhang Yuan and failed miserably again.

Zhang Yan already had few soldiers, and if he suffered another fiasco, I am afraid that self-protection will be a problem, let alone come to rescue him from the city again.

He had vaguely guessed that Zhang Yan had given up on him and led his army to retreat to Taihang Mountain.

Even so, Colonel Zuo still held on to the remaining hope in his heart, hoping that Zhang Yan could come up with another surprise plan to rescue him from Zhang Yuan's siege.

Time passed little by little, but the remaining thoughts of Zuo Xiao were disintegrating inch by inch.

Standing at the head of the city every day to observe, how could Colonel Zuo come, the number of Zhang's troops encamped on all sides is constantly increasing, and now it has reached 30,000 people.

Zhang Yuan dared to besiege the city with so many soldiers and horses, there must be only one reason:

Zhang Yan had retreated to Taihang Mountain, completely abandoning Chen Liu, and Zhang Yuan had lost the threat from the south, so he dared to use his entire army to besiege his lonely city.

"Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan, you hurt me, you said that Zhang Yuan was just a gentleman, and he must be extremely incompetent, so I listened to your whole army to attack, will you beat the Black Mountain Army like this?"

Colonel Zuo looked up to the sky and sighed, remorseful, and desperate thoughts grew in his heart.

In addition to despair, Colonel Zuo was very confused.

With Zhang Yuan's current strength, ten times his own, he only needed to give an order, and Chen Liucheng could be razed to the ground in a blink of an eye.

But why, Zhang Yuan besieged the city for many days and delayed the attack.

Zhang Yuan besieged but did not attack, which made Colonel Zuo more and more confused.

"Zhang Yuan, what do you want to do, why don't you attack immediately and give me a good time." Colonel Zuo secretly gritted his teeth, and there was a little thought of "early death and early superbirth" in his heart.

Just as Colonel Zuo was thinking, in the camp of Zhang Jun opposite, he suddenly noticed a strange movement.

The dust and mist rose, but I saw a group of Zhang Jun cavalry galloping towards the city gate.

"The whole army is ready to meet the enemy." Colonel Zuo's mind retracted, and he immediately became alert.

As early as in the Battle of Weixiang, Colonel Zuo's descendants of the Black Mountain soldiers had been wiped out, and the thousands of soldiers and horses he commanded now were just Tao Sheng's troops.

Under normal circumstances, these people would not completely obey his orders, but now that Tao Sheng is dead, all the soldiers are leaderless, and Colonel Zuo is their nominal commander, although they are reluctant, but in this predicament, they can only obey Colonel Zuo's orders.

As a result, thousands of Montenegrin soldiers had to slowly clench their swords and guns, raise their bows and crossbows, and reluctantly put on a posture to meet the enemy.

A moment later, the group of men and horses galloped closer, and after the enemy's virtual reality, Colonel Zuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The army that came was not Zhang Jun's brigade, but only more than 100 horsemen.

But what made Colonel Zuo nervous was the presence of Zhang Yuan in the coming army.

Zhang Yuan rode out of the city for a few steps, and said in a loud voice: "Colonel Zuo, Zhang Yuan is here, do you dare to go out of the city for a while." ”

Colonel Zuo was suspicious in his heart, hesitated for a long time, and didn't know what kind of medicine Zhang Yuan's gourd was selling, and finally decided to go out of the city to see it.

The city gate opened, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and after a while, Colonel Zuo rode out of the city alone with a silver gun in his hand.

"Colonel Zuo, I have heard of you, a fierce general of Montenegro, for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, as if he was talking to a friend who had been friends for a long time.

Colonel Zuo's heart shook slightly, but it was extremely unpleasant.

In the battle of Weixiang, he thought that he could defeat Zhang Yuan's cavalry, make great contributions to Zhang Yan, and gain a firm foothold in the Montenegrin army, but he didn't want to be defeated by Zhang Yuan, and the cavalry of his descendants was wiped out.

At that time, he deeply realized how great Zhang Yuan, who was originally only rumored to be in the state of conjure, was.

A few days ago, Zhang Yan's strategy failed, he was personally blocked by Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan's discordant plan provoked Tao Sheng to kill him with him, and he was deeply frightened by Zhang Yuan's methods.

Martial artists have always only worshiped the strong, and Zhang Yuan's strong demeanor is enough to make Zuo Colonel respect.

"What is worthy of the name, in the first battle of Weixiang, my Black Mountain cavalry was completely wiped out by Zhang Taishou's general, and Zhang really saw that Zhang Taishou's reputation is worthy of it." Colonel Zuo smiled bitterly and laughed at himself.

Zhang Yuan smiled, "Yang Chou Yuan Tan, as well as your general Zhang Yan, have all been seen under me, Colonel Zuo, you lost to me, there is nothing to be ashamed of." ”

Zhang Yuan did not hide his confidence, and his words seemed to say, it is normal for you to lose to me.

"This Zhang Yuan's wisdom is unparalleled, this bearing, this self-confidence, I have never seen it in my life, even if it is Dong Zhuo, it is even better than General Zhang, no wonder General Zhang will be repeatedly defeated under his hands......"

In the face of Zhang Yuan's self-confidence, Colonel Zuo secretly marveled in his heart.

Although there is jealousy in his heart, Colonel Zuo is also a fierce general of Montenegro in the end, and he has the blood of a Montenegrin man, how can he be intimidated by Zhang Yuan's strength.

He immediately reined in his thoughts, raised his sword eyebrows, and smiled proudly, "Zhang Taishou has a domineering bearing, which is really extraordinary, but my left school is not frightened, when will Zhang Taishou attack, even if he lets the horse come, Zhang will fight you to the death." ”

In the face of Colonel Zuo's generosity, Zhang Yuan suddenly burst out laughing, and his laughter was full of ridicule.

Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated, Colonel Zuo saw that Zhang Yuan had the meaning of mocking him, and couldn't help but sink his face, "Zhang Taishou, you don't have to be too proud, although my Colonel Zuo only has a group of remnants left, but if you want to capture Chenliu, it is not so easy, even if I die in battle, I will make you pay a heavy price!" ”

Zhang Yuan restrained his smile, his knife-like face, the expression of sarcasm was still the same, and he said coldly: "I'm not laughing at your bravery, I'm just laughing at Zhang Yan for abandoning you in a lonely city and fleeing south to Taihang Mountain, but you are bent on fighting for Zhang Yan, so stupid, it's really funny." ”

In Zhang Yuan's words, the meaning of surrender was faintly revealed.

Colonel Zuo is a general of Montenegro, good at commanding cavalry, and Zhang Yuan is short of cavalry generals, if he is summoned to surrender, it is naturally better.

Moreover, in the previous battle of Weixiang, he captured more than 1,000 Montenegrin cavalry, these people are good at riding and archery, if you can summon the left colonel to surrender, you can easily collect the hearts of this thousand Montenegrin people, use the existing horses, and in a blink of an eye, you can produce a cavalry of more than 1,000 people.

There are so many benefits, so Zhang Yuancai let Chen stay and came to the left colonel in person.

Colonel Zuo is not stupid, how can he not hear the meaning of Zhang Yuan's words, his face is slightly angry, but he sighed lightly, "I have not been in General Zhang for a long time, the general treats me well, I should be loyal to death, what's so funny." ”

After a sigh, Colonel Zuo said slowly: "The general treats me well, and it is only natural that Zhang will fight to the death for him." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said lightly: "You have been alone for a long time, until Zhang Yan abandoned you and fled, this is him who bears you, not you who bears him, you have done your duty, even if you surrender to me, who dares to say that you are disloyal?" ”

Colonel Zuo was silent.

Zhang Yuan knew that he had been said to be tempted, so he said: "I might as well tell you that I lack cavalry generals under my command, and it is the ability to command the cavalry, so I want to surrender to you. ”

Zuo Xiao's body shook, as if his heart was touched fiercely, and in an instant, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yuan has insight into people's minds, and since he came, Zuo Xiao has been shaken by him.

After all, Zuo Xiao is also flesh and blood, and throughout the ages, there are some people who can treat death as if they were at home, and do not hesitate to lose their lives.

What's more, he himself has only surrendered to Zhang Yan for a long time, and he can't talk about how loyal he is to Zhang Yan.

The reason why Colonel Zuo was so slow to make up his mind was because he was a little confident in his own strength, thinking that with a few thousand soldiers and horses, he could still hold on to Chen for a few days.

Perhaps, he can wait until Zhang Yan comes to save him.

And behind him, at the head of the city, those old subordinates of Tao Sheng stared at him deadly, and their eyes were burning with deep doubt.

After pondering for a long time, Colonel Zuo sighed secretly, and arched his hand: "Mrs. Zhang is so kind, Zhang is really moved, but General Zhang treats Zhang very well, and I really can't bear to betray him." ”

"Is Zhang Yan really treating you well, I don't think so." Zhang Yuan sneered.
