The news of the loss of Jiaxia County and the breaking of Jingzhou's defense line also spread to Anzhong County as soon as possible.

At this time, the Jingzhou army in Anzhong County almost collectively lost the courage to continue to stay, and almost retreated with the whole army and retreated to Xiangyang.

However, Zhang Liao, Xiahoudun, Xu Huang and other Cao Cao tried their best to suppress the commotion of the Jingzhou army.

Zhang Liao knew very well in his heart that the Jingzhou defense line was crucial to whether Cao Cao could control Jingzhou smoothly and officially return Jingzhou to his imperial territory.

Therefore, Jingzhou's line of defense cannot afford to be lost.

In order to be able to defend, he also deliberately sent a group of Jingzhou army generals, who were more resolute in resisting the Xinhan army, to guard Jiaxia County. Such as Wang Wei, Wenpin, etc. Itself, it was Wenpin's own request to go. In this way, Zhang Liao can sit in Anzhong County with peace of mind. In addition, followed by Huang Zu, who led an army from Xiangyang, Zhang Liao believed that even if the New Han army attacked this defense line in Jingzhou, it was unlikely to be captured in a short time.

You must know that on this Jingzhou defense line, there are 200,000 or 300,000 Jingzhou troops. Even if they are all muddy, they can rely on the defense line to close the wall and deal with the New Han Army.

What made Zhang Liao helpless was that the Jingzhou army was defeated so quickly. He didn't even have time to adjust the Jingzhou army and horses guarding the defensive line, and he didn't even have time to disrupt and reorganize the Jingzhou army into Cao's army. This was so suddenly broken by the New Han Army, without a hint of warning.

However, no matter how helpless it is, it is useless, who called the Jingzhou army so vulnerable?

Now, what is in front of Zhang Liao is to Zhang Liao to choose painstakingly.

The first is to use the Jingzhou army, which still has more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops. Continue to defend Anzhong County, resist the attack of the New Han army, and wait for Cao Cao to lead the army across the river. Fight with the New Han Army.

Second, it was to immediately abandon Anzhong County, lead the army back to Xiangyang, rely on the Xiangjiang River to build a defensive line, and hold the territory of influence in the central part of Jingzhou.

However, in this way, Cao Cao could be regarded as gaining the central part of Jingzhou. It's also not insured, because, the military horses of the New Han Army. And not only in Wancheng's 100,000 or 200,000 New Han troops. In case, let the water army of the New Han Army control the Xiangjiang River, then, they will be besieged by the New Han Army in the central area of Jingzhou. And then. The New Han army could attack this central part of Jingzhou from all directions. Sooner or later, they will be wiped out by the New Han Army. If he chooses to lead the army to retreat to Xiangyang, there must be a premise, that is, the military horses led by Zhang He have rushed to the south bank of the Xiangjiang River, and they can cross the river at any time to respond, and even control the Xiangjiang River. In this way, they can sit back and relax when they capture the areas of Xiangyang and Jiangling in Jingzhou. But the problem is. Zhang Liao didn't know about Zhang He's current military horses.

Therefore, he did not dare to call the shots.

Other than that. Another point is that he will immediately lead the Jingzhou army in Anzhong County to the east across the Yushui River and go to join Cao Cao in Xinye City, so that they can calmly reorganize these Jingzhou troops and make up for the 200,000 Cao troops that were lost by the attack of the New Han army not long ago.

But Zhang Liao didn't dare to make his own decisions, and he also asked Cao Cao for advice. Because, once he leads these Jingzhou troops to cross eastward, if he wants to kill them back in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

However, the New Han army did not give Zhang Liao time to hesitate, and when Zhang Liao sent people to ask Cao Cao for instructions, the New Han army had already launched a full-scale attack on Anzhong County.

First of all, the military horses led by Dian Wei and Xu Zhu, who were already ready to go, the soldiers of these two armies, when they learned that Qin Jie's Wancheng defenders had broken through the Jingzhou defense line and made the first contribution to Jingzhou, they were all gearing up, and they couldn't wait to attack Anzhong County immediately.

As soon as the order was issued, the two generals led the army to kill in front of the county seat of Anzhong.

In this way, it is impossible for Zhang Liao to lead his army east to cross the Yushui River, because the New Han Army will definitely not let them cross the river calmly, if the New Han Army launches a charge attack on them when they cross the river, their Jingzhou army's 200,000 men and horses may be wiped out.

In fact, the reason why Liu Yi was so anxious to let his military horses launch an attack on Anzhong County was that he was worried that the Jingzhou army would cross east to join Cao Cao and enhance Cao Cao's strength out of thin air. The reason why the Jingzhou army is weak is that it does not have a correct leader, and there is no person who can really stimulate their combat effectiveness. If the Jingzhou army is officially surrendered to Cao Cao, I believe that it will not be long before these Jingzhou troops, which seem vulnerable, will become elite divisions.

What Liu Yi needed and wanted to see was that regardless of whether Cao Cao was now the nominal lord of Jingzhou, he would first trap the Jingzhou army in the central and northern regions of Jingzhou, so that Cao Cao could not obtain tangible benefits. The hundreds of thousands of military horses of the Jingzhou army are the real benefits of Cao Cao.

If Liu Yi was Cao Cao, he would definitely prefer not to want Jingzhou for the time being, but also to get these hundreds of thousands of military horses. As long as the strength is strong, why not be afraid of not seizing the territory of power?

The Xinhan army was killed under the city of Anzhong County, because it was impossible for the siege equipment and other baggage to be delivered with the army so quickly, so Dian Wei and Xu Zhu, the two tiger generals, led the army to the east and north of Anzhong County respectively to pose an offensive momentum, but they did not launch a siege battle at the first time.

Siege warfare does not mean that it can be fought just by fighting.

Just like the Jingzhou army attacked Wancheng before, before they reached Wancheng City, there were many facilities and obstacles that could prevent their military horses from directly attacking the city.

What the New Han Army understands, even if the Jingzhou Army doesn't understand, they can follow the same gourd and learn from the New Han Army to arrange the city passes they want to defend.

Therefore, before Anzhong County, it had already been cleared by the strong wall.

Before the city wall, there was a moat, a moat, a trap, and countless antlers, all of which could prevent the New Han army from directly attacking their city wall.

In fact, in Jiaxia County before, the layout was the same, but these were all cleaned up by Qin Jie, so that they could advance to a place one mile away from Jiaxia County and erect trebuchets to bombard the city walls of Jiaxia County.

At this time, Dian Wei and Xu Zhu could only honestly order people to clean up the obstacles blocking the offensive route.

However, the soldiers cleaned up these things, but it did not affect the battle between the two armies. Moreover, the Jingzhou army, under the command of Zhang Liao and other Cao Cao's generals, could not remain indifferent to watch the New Han army clear their obstacles.

When the New Han Army cleared the obstacles. The Jingzhou army was mobilized by Zhang Liao and other Cao generals, and went out of the customs to harass the actions of the New Han army.

Dian Wei is in the east of Anzhong County, to the east of it. There is a wall that connects directly to the Yushui River.

Well, in fact, Liu Biao really put a lot of hard work into building this line of defense to prevent the New Han army from attacking Jingzhou, and the city walls and gates he built were like a long snake. Across Wancheng and Anzhong, between Jiaxia, more than 100 200 miles long, quite spectacular.

This one. There is no such thing in history, it was Liu Yi who changed history, and there was such a Great Wall of defense.

This is also Liu Biao's way, because. This is the northern part of Jingzhou. There are really no high mountains, a fairly flat mountain forest field, if such a defense line is not built, then the Jingzhou army can drive straight into Xiangyang City and kill directly under Xiangyang City. It's so unsafe, Liu Biao will wake up in a dream, worried about when the New Han Army will send troops to attack him.

Earlier, it was also Liu Yi who failed to spare his hands. Otherwise, Liu Biao would not have been allowed to build such a line of defense safely.

Pity. Liu Biao did it for nothing, who would have thought that this seemingly solid line of defense would leave some secret passages for the people who built the city wall? What's more, Liu Biao didn't expect that he would be poisoned by Liu Bei. If I had known that this would be the end, I believe that Liu Biao would never have done such a thankless thing.

Dian Wei's taunt is still quite lethal.

This guy, who didn't even want a war horse, was shirtless and held a pair of iron halberds, so he ran to the county seat of Anzhong and scolded.

He didn't scold others, he scolded Cao Cao, and scolded Xiahoudun and Xu Huang so much that they couldn't bear it, and they went out of the city to fight with Dian Wei.

Zhang Liao wants to confront Xu Zhu in the west of the city, and no one can restrain Xiahoudun and Xu Huang.

The two generals each led an army and fought out of the city.

Dian Wei pointed at Xiahoudun and Xu Huang from afar, and shouted: "Wu Na one-eyed, let's not bully you, let's not bully those disabled people, well, let you chop wood and eat grandpa's halberd!" ”

This guy scolds people and scolds other people's sore spots. Liu Yi talked to him about the origin of Xu Huang and Xiahoudun, so Dian Wei knew that Xu Huang was really a person who was born to chop wood.

When Xiahoudun and Xu Huang heard this, they were really furious, and they both slapped their horses and killed.

"Good man! Eat a certain spear! ”

"Death!"

The war horses of the two generals were all ordinary horses, as fast as lightning, and they were killed in front of Dian Wei in the blink of an eye.

The monstrous murderous aura made Dian Wei's body shrink.

Well, Dian Wei is a bit of a big deal. Xiahoudun and Xu Huang are both generals who can be included in the list of super fierce generals in Liu Yi's mind, and Dian Wei, this guy, actually fought two cavalry generals on foot.

However, Dian Wei was not afraid at all, because Dian Wei was really not very suitable for horse warfare and foot combat, and he used him to display his martial arts.

A spear and an axe, stabbing and chopping, crackling, as fast as if bringing out electric light.

Before the spear and axe arrived, the murderous aura as sharp as gold came first, and the murderous wind blew Dian Wei's beard and hair up.

"Well done! Kill! ”

Dian Wei's two halberds were unfurled, and his body was as fast as a cheetah, and he did not retreat and rushed forward.

A halberd in his left hand, first by the power of the forward rush and then twisted, with a ding, Xiahou Xuan's spear bounced away, and at the same time, a halberd in his right hand directly went up, and when he touched it, it was an instant, and he blocked Xu Huang's powerful axe.

"Ah......h

Xiahoudun was led by the war horse and rushed out to the side, and Xu Huang, even the people and horses were stiffly stopped by Dian Wei, and the war horse was shaken high by the force of the shock.

What a strong force!

At the moment when the three generals intersected, almost all of them had this idea in their hearts, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly.

One person is against two generals, and if someone else sprints on a horse, you can imagine how much strength Dian Wei has to bear.

Under his horse's pace, his feet were knocked into the ground, and the mud around his feet showed a small cracked area.

Xiahoudun didn't feel anything because he was borrowed by Dian Wei to take him away, but Xu Huang and Dian Wei, the two of them were not very comfortable, and the arms of both sides felt numb and a little sore.

"Good! Again! ”

Dian Wei pulled his feet out of the dirt, and then slammed his strong body and killed Xu Huang directly.

Dian Wei is not stupid, as soon as he fights, he knows that Xiahoudun and Xu Huang are not famous, they are indeed worthy of the name, let him challenge these two generals alone, the victory or defeat is really difficult to say, and even, one is not good, just because of his own trust and loss of life here.

Therefore, he took advantage of Xiahoudun's war horse rushing out from the side and pounced on Xu Huang, striving to fight Xu Huang one-on-one before Xiahoudun had time to ride his horse back.

"Humph! Death! ”

Xu Huang was also fearless, holding the axe in both hands, and did not appease the somewhat irritable war horse, he directly swung out an axe shadow and slashed at Dian Wei who rushed in.

Xu Huang's axe method, wide opening and closing, implicitly in line with the way of natural physical mechanics, even if he may be slightly inferior to Dian Wei in strength, but under the complement of mechanics, he will not fall behind.

Of course, Dian Wei's halberd method is endless, and it is carefully defended, but it is also offensive in defense, and defensive in attack.

Jingle ......

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged several moves.

I saw Xu Huang's big axe, like pouring wind, one axe after another, the axe and axe were windy, and the murderous aura flew wildly.

And Dian Wei's double halberd danced more like a windmill, and soon stabbed at Xu Huang together, with a desperate momentum, forcing Xu Huang to return to the axe to parry.

......

Xiahoudun returned to the horse to kill, shouted, and took Dian Wei's vest.

Dian Wei's combat IQ is very high.

After all, he is the king of killing soldiers, and he is most suitable for tearing and killing in the siege of the enemy, so how can he not take care of Xiahoudun behind him?

Just when Xiahou was killed, Dian Wei was as if he had eyes on his back, his body was as slippery as a loach, and he ignored the spear with murderous aura behind him, and his body just jumped violently, and jumped to the other side of Xu Huang at once.

In this way, Xiahou Dan missed a spear, but because of the sprint of the war horse, he passed by Xu Huang by mistake and rushed to the front. In this way, it means that Dian Wei can fight one-on-one with Xu Huang when Xiahoudun has not yet returned.

In terms of fighting alone, the three generals can be said to be super fierce generals, but in real terms, Dian Wei should be better than Xiahoudun and Xu Huang. Therefore, Dian Wei is now entangled with Xu Huang, so he let Xu Huang distance himself and use the power of the war horse charge to attack him, so that he can barely suppress Xu Huang and kill Xu Huang only has the ability to parry and has no power to fight back.

Xiahoudun, he was almost to death by Dian Wei like a loach, he rushed back and forth to kill several times, but Dian Wei flashed over, and the attack failed.

He saw that this was not a solution, and saw that Xu Huang was a little overwhelmed by Dian Wei, so he immediately abandoned the war horse, and went underground with Xu Huang immediately, and attacked Dian Wei together. (To be continued......)
