The strength of Jiuzhen and Rinan counties is far inferior to that of Jiaozhi County, otherwise Shixie would not dare to fight their ideas easily. According to the information heard by the Phantom Secret Spy, the total population of Jiuzhen County is only a little more than 200,000, and the number of Ninan is even less, only less than 70,000.

In this way, the two counties can be said to be vulnerable in the face of the powerful Han army. It is true that Jiuzhen Taishou Yunbin heard that the Han army was coming, and immediately led the city to beg outside the city to surrender. Zhang Fei said good words to appease, but still made Yun Bin the Jiuzhen Taishou, and led the army to continue southward and enter the territory of Rinan.

After the Han army entered Rinan County, they arrived in Bijing County on the same day. To Zhang Fei's surprise, the four gates of Bijing County were wide open, and there was not a single defender.

Seeing that Zhang Fei wanted to enter the city, Yan Yan hurriedly stepped forward, immediately arched his hand, and reminded: "General Zhang, be careful of ambushes in the city. ”

Zhang Fei pulled the reins and said, "The entire Ninan has a population of only 70,000, how many people can there be in this city?" Even if there is an ambush, why should I be afraid? Town! ”

The people of the city saw an army in black and black armor rushing in, and they scattered in all directions. Zhang Fei ordered the soldiers to arrest two people, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the county government?" ”

The two people trembled and pointed in the direction of the east of the city. Zhang Fei's horse whip was lightly raised, and he rode his horse to the east of the city. It was very small than Jingcheng, and after half a cup of tea, the team came to the county office, and from a distance, I saw several officials running in in a panic. Zhang Fei didn't even get off the horse, and rushed directly into the lobby.

There was a mess in the lobby, the county magistrate had just gotten up, and was about to avoid the back office, when he was caught up by Zhang Fei, and the snake spear was standing up, right in his back heart, and shouted: "Say!" Why isn't there even a single soldier in the city? ”

The county magistrate said tremblingly: "The good man spares his life." The Xianglin Zhan clan rebelled, had already captured Lurong, established the state of Linyi, and was now besieging Xijuan. The soldiers in the county were all transferred to the western roll. ”

Zhang Fei grinned and scolded: "It turned out to be really an empty city. Sons, continue to go south, I want to see what those Cham people are. ”

Therefore, the soldiers who had just entered the city did not care about resting, continued to advance southward, and arrived at Zhuwu County in the afternoon. As a result, not only did Zhuwu County have no defenders, but they couldn't even find the county order, and they didn't know whether they went to Xijuan to help or fled.

ran two empty cities in a row, Zhang Fei was very unhappy. However, he did not give the order to march immediately into the western scroll. Xijuan is the county seat of Niswan, and the money and grain of Nijinan are concentrated there, presumably no matter how powerful the Zhan people are, they can't capture Nisanna City in a hurry. Zhang Fei knew that his soldiers had been fighting for days and were getting tired, so he simply ordered to rest in the city for two days, and at the same time sent scouts to find out the news of the Western Scroll.

Early the next morning, the tanma rushed back. The city of Xijuan has been besieged by the rebel regiments of the Cham people. However, according to the reconnaissance of the horses, the Champa rebels besieging the city were only two or three thousand, which was comparable to the defenders in the city. Since the sum of these two parties was less than a fraction of the Han army, Zhang Fei had nothing to hesitate about, and immediately continued to go south.

In the middle of the day, when Zhang Fei's vanguard arrived outside the city of Xijuan, the besieging Cham people panicked. At least so far, the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rimian have not officially separated from the Han Dynasty, and this is still the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the army of the Han Dynasty suddenly appeared here, indicating that the reinforcements of the Western Scroll have arrived.

However, the Cham people have always been brave, from Xianglin to Lurong, their troops are less than the defenders of Rinan County, and the result is not only a great defeat of the Ninan army, but also two cities. For these Han troops who appeared in the wilderness, the Cham rebels did not pay attention to it at all.

The Cham people fought with all their courage, and when they heard that the reinforcements from Xijuan had arrived, not only did they not retreat, but gathered together and counterattacked towards this new Han army.

Because the two were hand-to-hand, Zhang Fei could be regarded as seizing the opportunity this time, and a snake spear in his hand was elusive, killing the Cham rebels on their backs. The Cham rebels are really not afraid of death, they really go forward one after another, and they fall one after another, and a group of them come up, no wonder the Japanese army was beaten by them and was powerless.

Although the Cham rebels are heroic, their opponents are even stronger, and Zhang Fei needless to say, those elite Han regular legions are not something they can resist. The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and the shouting of killing gradually weakened. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that it was a one-sided massacre. Because the Cham rebels did not cooperate with each other at all, and they fought separately, how could they beat the well-trained Han army? Moreover, they are still outnumbered.

For the Nissanan defenders of Nisimaki, this is the best opportunity to go out of the city to help the battle, and with two flanking attacks, the Cham rebels will be defeated faster. However, the continuous battles with the Cham rebels and the repeated defeats have made them lose confidence in themselves, and in the face of the one-sided battle, they dare not help, only dare to stay in the city as a bystander.

The battle outside the city ended quickly, and the Cham rebels were really brave, until the last soldier was picked up by Zhang Fei on the tip of the spear, and no one surrendered, and the flat ground outside the north gate of Xijuan City was full of corpses of the Cham rebels.

Zhang Fei, who was covered in blood, rode his horse to the foot of Xijuan City, and with a strong swing, the corpse of the Zhan rebel on the tip of the spear flew up out of thin air and smashed heavily on the head of Xijuan City, splashing blood and flesh everywhere.

Zhang Fei shouted: "The people in the city listen, quickly open the door and surrender, otherwise the army will enter the city and the chickens and dogs will not be left." ”

At this time, the stunned defenders of the southern part of the city knew that the army in black clothes and black armor under the city, holding high the banner of the word "Han", was not their reinforcements, but like those Cham rebels, they all came to grab territory.

There was a panic at the head of the city, and a man who looked like a general brandished a big sword and shouted there: "Resist, resist, they can't attack." ”

Although the Cham people are shorter, a corpse is more than 100 catties no matter how you say it, and the enemy general under the city who is covered with blood and has a hideous face can throw such a corpse into the city at will, is there any difficulty in attacking it?

The defenders at the head of the city looked at these "divine soldiers" who were ten or a hundred times more powerful than the Cham people, and they still had the slightest sense of resistance. And the enemy general who rushed to the front has already said that if you don't surrender, you will not be left behind. In the panic, some people fled from the city, some people scurried around, and there were still people willing to listen to commands. The general-looking man slashed at the two fleeing defenders in quick succession, but instead of stopping the riot, it provoked a strong backlash from the defenders. There is only one way to defend the city, and only by surrendering can you get a chance to live. In this case, it is simply the opposite! Some of the defenders looked at the general with a fierce look in their eyes, and they didn't know who had pounced first, and everyone rushed up. The general swung his sword to fight back, but he didn't have the martial arts of Zhang Fei, and he was outnumbered after all, and was chopped into pulp by a random blade.

The city gate was wide open, and the Han army successfully captured the city of Xijuan.

Further south, although the two counties of Lurong and Xianglin have been captured by the Cham people, the population of the Cham people is not large, and it is with the spirit of not being afraid of death that they defeated the defenders of the south of Japan. Now after the battle outside the city of Xijuan, there are not many young people left. When the Han army arrived at the city of Lurong and Xianglin successively, the remnants of the Cham army who were guarding the city had already looted all the property in the city and fled into the nearby mountains.

Zhang Fei settled down in Xijuan, and on the one hand sent people to report the victory to Xiangyang, and on the other hand, he sent the mountain soldiers of the Seventh Army Corps to various places to clear the remnants of the Zhan tribe.

At the same time, the second road led by Zhang He and Zhang Ren also conquered Yulin and Hepu counties one after another. The third group led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun was even more bloodless, forcing Cangwu to defend Dong Zhenju County to surrender. The only one in trouble was the Fourth Road led by Guan Yu and Tai Shici.

The target of the Fourth Road attack was Nanhai County. Nanhai Taishou Wu Ju and Liu Bei were old acquaintances, and when Liu Bei was still in Xuzhou, he secretly sent someone to make friends with Wu Ju. Later, Liu Bei was taken to Xiangyang by Liu Xin, and the connection between Liu Bei and Wu Ju was broken. However, under Liu Bei's reminder, Wu Ju has made many preparations, on the one hand, a large number of military expansions, and on the other hand, the construction of checkpoints in Longchuan and Zhongsu.

Jiaozhou has been the territory of the Han Dynasty for a long time, except for the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan, there are ready-made roads in other places, and the same is true for the South China Sea. Guan Yu set out from Huiji County to the south, marched along the main road, and arrived at Longchuan in less than a day. However, it was blocked by Wu Ju's army in Longchuan.

Longchuan is the only way from Huiji to Panyu, the county town of Nanhai, where the terrain is dangerous, the originally flat avenue suddenly becomes winding here, and there are steep cliffs on both sides, and Wu Ju's camp and checkpoint are built on this main road.

It is said that even Xiongguan such as Wuguan and Yangping Pass could not stop the advance of the Han army, and a small camp was nothing. However, the unique terrain of Longchuan made Guan Yu and Tai Shici, who had experienced a hundred battles, helpless.

Because of the junction of Nanhai County and Guiyang County in Jingzhou, Liu Bei had long wanted to use Wu Ju to stab Liu Xin in the back at a critical moment, so the information he provided to Wu Ju was very comprehensive, including telling Wu Ju that the range of the bow and crossbow in Liu Xin's army was two to three times that of ordinary bows and crossbows, so Wu Ju fully considered this factor when setting up the camp.

The location where Wu Ju camped was particularly well chosen, and less than fifty steps ahead was a bend. Originally, on the avenue, the strength of the Han army was not easy to deploy, and such a short distance made the Han army's bow and crossbow lose its advantage in range, and the two sides were basically at the same starting line.

At the same time, there is another benefit to such a layout. Another weapon of the Han army, the trebuchet, was also useless. Fifty paces was too close, and if the trebuchet was launched at this position, the stones thrown would definitely run to the back of Wu Juju's camp, and there would be no threat to them at all.

In the face of such a situation, if you attack strongly, you will pay huge casualties, but if you don't attack, it will be difficult to move an inch, Guan Yu and Tai Shici are in a stalemate.
