Holding shields and lined up in a neat array, the elite soldiers of Guanzhong, under the command of low-level officers such as Dubo and Tunchang, slowly pressed towards the Dazhai of the Yizhou Army. Zhao Feng looked at the approaching Guanzhong Army, and now his situation was even more sinister than when he was in Shenting Ridge.

When he said that he was in Shenting Ridge, although he didn't have time to build a position, he finally had a gentle slope, which was somewhat condescending. Now although he has become a big village, but the defense ability of the camp on the flat ground is limited, and now facing the opponent's shield array, it is basically equivalent to hand-to-hand combat.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Feng gave an order, and the crossbow behind the fence roared again, and at the same time, across the fence, the big guns with cold light also began to harvest the lives of the most advanced Guanzhong army. However, Xiahou Yuan's people would not be slaughtered like this, and the guys in their hands also began to harvest the lives of the Sichuan army. At this time, it is the first naked ground to compete with the combat effectiveness of the army, except for the use of crossbow arrows on the way to knock down a few enemy troops, as well as the fence, the Sichuan army has no advantage.

"Xiahou Yuan's hundred battles are really powerful, and the Sichuan army is still a step behind!" Zhao Feng sighed after looking at it for a long time, Ma Yan on the side didn't speak, but he also nodded. Although the reorganization and training of the Sichuan army has not been relaxed since he became the master of Xichuan, the Sichuan people are short in stature and the training is limited, although the combat effectiveness of this Sichuan army has been greatly improved, it is still inferior to Zhao Feng's elite soldiers in Xuzhou and Jingnan. Compared with Xiahou Yuan's elite soldiers in Guanzhong, they are also inferior.

"If I were given another year, I would definitely be able to train the Sichuan army to be stronger, but it's a pity!" Zhao Feng looked at the Sichuan army and the Guanzhong army, which were almost equal in casualties, and he was also distressed. As a defender, he was almost equal to the opponent's casualties, and it was too much of a loss to fight this battle. Seeing that the battle was still continuing, Zhao Feng gave an order, the Sichuan army in the front row gave way to the formation, and the Danyang elite soldiers and the Hanzhong army in the back row went straight in. After Zhao Feng's training for a long time, these people's combat effectiveness is not a little stronger than that of the Sichuan army. Under their courageous play, Cao Jun's momentum was obviously suppressed. Although Xiahou Yuan's surname was anxious, he also knew that it was too unrealistic to break the opponent's camp like this, so he immediately ordered to set up the village first and prepare for a protracted war with the other party. At the same time, he sent someone to report to Cheng Yu, asking him to send more people to help him attack, and inform Cao Ying of the military situation here as soon as possible. Xiahou Yuan, as the senior management of Cao Ying's group, also knows Cao Ying's strategy this time. Now there is no movement on Xuchang's side, and he is in full swing here, this thing is indeed too weird, and Xiahou Yuan also feels that something is wrong.

"What, General Xiahou wants to increase his troops to attack Jieting?" On the north bank of Weishui, Cheng Yu was also taken aback after receiving Xiahou Yuan's order to transfer troops. Han Hao on the side couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Mr. Zhongde, is there something wrong?" ”

"Strange, could it be that Zhao Botao really intended Longxi this time?" Cheng Yu is Cheng Yu after all, and from the time Zhao Feng's soldiers left Qishan, he realized that he was only afraid that this Yizhou Army's action was not a small fight. and realized that even if it was Cao Ying's plan to lure the enemy, it would not have such a good chance of winning.

"General Han, how many military horses do our army have to mobilize right now?" Forcing himself to hold back the trace of uneasiness in his heart, Cheng Yu still decided to deal with the enemy army in the street pavilion first. Although Han Sui is not a good bird, once Ma Chao occupies Xiliang, then in the future, facing Ma Chao and Zhao Feng, Guan Zhongzi will not have a good time.

"I still have 20,000 foot soldiers here, in addition to the defenders from all over Tongguan, there are also 20,000 horses in Xianyang that can be mobilized!" Han Hao replied. Cheng Yu nodded, and then ordered all the 20,000 horses in Xianyang to be assembled and rushed to the street pavilion.

"Mr. Zhongde, I don't have anything to do here, you can bring another 10,000 of the 20,000 horses!" Han Hao admonished after seeing Cheng Yu's arrangement, Cheng Yu frowned when he heard this: "General Han, you still have to guard against the Sichuan army on the opposite side here, how can you adjust it lightly?" ”

"Mr. Zhongde, don't worry, I have Weishui here, the combat strength of the Sichuan army has never been good, but if you defend it, it is more than enough to rely on these 10,000 people!" Han Hao said confidently. Cheng Yu frowned, and finally admonished: "10,000 people is too few after all, and the Sichuan army on the other side of the Wei River is no less than tens of thousands." In this way, I will ask Yuan Chang to transfer another 10,000 people from Chang'an to garrison martial arts, form a corner with you, and garrison the north of the Wei River! ”

"It's good!" Han Hao knew that Cheng Yu was more stable like this, so he didn't shirk it. At that moment, Cheng Yu, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's brothers, and Xiahou Yuan's brother Xiahou De personally led 30,000 people to aid Chi Street Pavilion, while Han Hao stayed in Weishui.

Five days later, when Cheng Yu and others rushed to the street pavilion, it was already purgatory on earth. After more than ten days of bloody battles, the corpses piled up on the street pavilion avenue. Under Xiahou Yuan's onslaught, nearly half of his 30,000 horses had been killed or wounded. However, the defenders did not take advantage of anything, and the casualties of the defenders in Zhao Feng's Dazhai and Wang Ping's Jieting City added up to almost 10,000. In these days, as long as Xiahou Yuan attacked ruthlessly, Wang Ping led the unforward flying army to attack his rear from the city, and every time he ran after killing, Xiahou Yuan did not dare to attack too hard.

"Mr. Zhongde, it's good that you're here!" Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he saw Cheng Yu coming. Cheng Yu looked at the surrounding situation, and the smell of blood in the air made him a little sick to his stomach. Holding back the nausea, Cheng Yu also admonished: "General Xiahou, it seems that Zhao Botao has become a corner to guard the street pavilion. Now it's better to concentrate on one place first! ”

"I also have this intention, but there are not many soldiers and horses!" Xiahou Yuan sighed. At the moment, let Xiahou De lead an army of 10,000 and use the siege equipment carried by the army to attack Wang Ping of Jieting City, and Xiahou Yuan gathered the remaining tens of thousands of horses to attack Zhao Feng's Dazhai.

"General, Cao Jun seems to have increased his troops!" Ma Jian looked at the Cao Jun camp in the distance, which had increased significantly, and he was also a little frightened. Zhao Feng looked at the other party's rearranged military formation, and also said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, prepare to pick up the station!" ”

Now there are less than 13,000 people left in Zhao Feng's Dazhai, and the Cao army facing opposite is nearly 30,000. Such a comparison of forces on the plain is simply one-sided.

"General, what's going on with General Zilong, I should have already taken Xiliang, why don't you come to reinforce it!" Ma Jian was already a little incoherent while being nervous, Zhao Feng looked at Ma Jian who was at a loss in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart, but also couldn't help but regret that he was a little too big, and only led 25,000 Sichuan troops to guard the street pavilion. Although Zhuge Liang sent so many people in history, they were elite soldiers who had been trained for many years, and the combat effectiveness of his Sichuan army was still poor. If it weren't for the foundation of the Danyang soldiers and the Hanzhong army, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang didn't come with him! If he was here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so embarrassed. Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Xichuan was initially decided, the people's hearts had not yet been completely calmed, and if Zhuge Liang, himself and Zhao Yun all left Xichuan easily, Ma Liang was afraid that he would not be able to control the scene.

"General, it's a carrier pigeon sent by General Zhao!" At this time, Ma Tan suddenly pointed to a pigeon flying in the sky excitedly. stepped forward to take down the letter on the pigeon's leg and took a look, but found that it was not sent by Zhao Yun, but by Pound. He told himself that Jicheng had been captured by him, and he was now leading his army to help in the battle, and he could arrive in two days at most.

"The letter was sent yesterday, and it seems that Ling Ming will arrive in a few days at most!" Zhao Feng also took a long breath after reading it, Pang De, this brother still lived up to his expectations, and he got Jicheng by dividing five by two. Jicheng is very close to the street pavilion, if he can come to the rescue, then he will be much better. It's just that I didn't expect Jicheng, as the capital of Xiliang, to be broken by him so quickly.

"Tell the brethren that hold on one more day and reinforcements will arrive!" Zhao Feng hurriedly ordered someone to inform the whole army of the good news, and finally reinvigorated the somewhat depressed morale. The Sichuan army, which had regained its spirits, began to face another attack by Xiahou Yuan. At this time, Zhao Feng also had to admit that although Jieting Avenue was a flat river, this avenue was not a wilderness plain after all, and Xiahou Yuan could only attack from the east. Of course, Zhao Feng also set up a checkpoint on the mountain road, and once he found that the other party was ready to take a detour, he could be on guard at any time.

In the following day, Xiahou Yuan, who had been replenished by his troops, began to attack Zhao Feng's Dazhai desperately like crazy, and the defenders shot countless arrows, even the sharp horse rejection rifles, dozens of which were broken due to overuse. Xiahou Yuan is worthy of being known for his bravery in battle, and he almost didn't even give Zhao Feng the kung fu to take a breath, and wave after wave of soldiers rushed up one after another, even crazier than Zhou Yu of Shenting Ridge.

In just one day, Zhao Feng's Dazhai killed and injured more than 3,000 people, and the rest was less than 10,000. And Xiahou Yuan also left more than 4,000 corpses, but the proportional advantage of the number of people was even more prominent. At the same time, Wang Ping in Jieting City was also under great pressure, the short city wall was nothing to Xiahoude, but the siege battle was full of all kinds of hand-to-hand combat. Rao is invincible flying army is strong, and nearly 1,000 people were killed and wounded in this battle.

"General, we're miserable today!" After the war, he accompanied Zhao Feng to inspect the barracks, and Ma Jian was already crying with a sad face. However, at this time, there is also good news, Zhao Yun's 20,000 horses will be able to rush to the street pavilion in a few days, and Pang De's is expected to arrive tonight. Zhao Feng secretly rejoiced in his heart, if he used his current strength, he really didn't have confidence to defend it for another day tomorrow.

"General, General Pang is here!" At this moment, the Malay newspaper was explored, and sure enough, the ground in the west began to tremble a little, and it was Pound who led people to rush over to support.

"Ling Ming, thank you so much!" Zhao Feng looked at Pang De, who led the army over, and almost didn't cry on the spot. Shenting Ridge blocked Zhou Yu, and Jiangling City fought hard against Kuaiyue, and he had never been so passive. This time, it's really nine deaths!

"General, I have brought a full 20,000 horses here, and when I meet General Zilong and them, we can settle the battle in one battle!" Pound said confidently. Zhao Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Ling Ming, I don't know how you took Jicheng so quickly?" ”

"Hehe, general, thanks to my friend, Jiang Yin, the governor of Nan'an County!" Pang De smiled and introduced an officer dressed as a Qiang man behind him to Zhao Feng. It turned out that Jiang Xu, the brother of the Jiang Jian clan, was Gongcao of Tianshui County, Jiang Jian was a Qiang person, and a native of Nan'an County, and Pang De had always had a deep friendship, so he volunteered to persuade his brother to surrender. Although Jiang Xu failed to surrender the city, it also attracted Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weikang and Tianshui Taishou Yang Fu to turn against him, and the two sides fought in the city, and finally cheapened Pang De in vain.

"I see, thank you General Jiang." Zhao Feng was also very happy when he heard this. Looking at Jiang Jian in front of him, Zhao Feng suddenly asked, "I don't know if General Jiang is married?" ”
