Zhao Yun's roar was too timely. It not only shocked the Xianbei people, but also gave a sigh of relief to the Han soldiers who were about to collapse.

Originally, the Xianbei people had already torn a hole and were about to rush in, but Zhao Yun rushed back at this critical moment. As he rode his horse and galloped forward, he shot sharp arrows one after another, each of which hit the Xianbei who rushed ahead.

When Zhao Yun came to Xiahoulan's side, the big spear that was more than a foot long was like a dragon out of the water, and it pounced on the eyes and throat of the Xianbei people, stabbing all the enemies besieging Xiahoulan to death.

"Yuanqing, you organize the wounded soldiers to withdraw to the back, Yan Rou's army will arrive soon, I will take it here!"

Xiahoulan, who was exhausted, hurriedly withdrew from the battle group and organized the seriously wounded soldiers to withdraw to the side, but he was not idle, he encouraged the wounded soldiers to shout: "Brothers, shout with me 'Kebineng, big stupid donkey!'" Just wait for reinforcements to come, surround and catch them alive! ’”

Hundreds of wounded soldiers in the battalion then shouted in unison: "Kebineng, big stupid donkey!" Just wait for reinforcements to come, surround and catch them alive! ”

Kebineng, who was commanding the army to besiege the grain team in the distance, vaguely heard someone in the Han military camp scolding him by name, so his stinky face, which was already so black, became even darker.

"What are the Han people scolding?" Kebi can turn his head and ask the lock slave.

The lock slave hesitated for a moment and said softly, "My lord, they are scolding you for being the ...... Well, you're yelling at the donkey, and you're going to surround us and get us alive when reinforcements arrive. ”

"How can this be, these damned Han people! Let the brothers beat me hard, I don't believe ......, well, what did you just say? Reinforcements? ”

"Yes, the Han people are shouting, 'Just wait for reinforcements to come, surround and catch them alive,'" the slave said loudly.

"Hmph, the Han people will also cheat, Liu Yu is so frightened that he doesn't dare to come out, where are there any reinforcements!" Kebineng said with some disdain.

"My lord, look across the river!" The slave suddenly screamed.

The slave was more than a head taller than Kebineng, and he was the first to see a large cloud of dust on the north bank of the water approaching the river.

Kebi was able to raise his eyes and look into the distance, and his original disdainful expression gradually turned into solemnity and surprise.

"It's not good, it's Yan Rou who came with the troops! I know that this despicable villain can't be trusted! Lock slaves, immediately lead the eight thousand soldiers across the river to meet them, don't let Yan Rou cut off our back road to Ningcheng! ”

If you can't figure out the purpose of Yan Rou's visit and keep your own retreat, there is really a danger of being besieged by the river.

Although there are less than 5,000 Han troops here, there are still more than 10,000 Han troops in Macheng, 10,000 Han troops in Gaoliu in the south, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Yan Rou's command.

Suo Nu took 8,000 Xianbei people to cross the river, and the remaining Xianbei people suddenly had a commotion, they had been shocked by the Han army's desperate fighting style, and at this time they suddenly saw their own large forces retreating to the other side of the river, and their confidence in attacking was immediately frustrated, and they all retreated, refusing to rush to the front to fight with the Zhao madman in the Han military camp.

In this way, Zhao Yun, who led the soldiers to fight bloodily, suddenly felt that the pressure was reduced a lot, and he didn't need to look back, and he knew that Yan Rou had arrived with the troops.

When Yan Rou came to the shore with the team, Suo Nu happened to cross the enemy water with his troops. At this time, the Xianbei people's troops were upstream, and Yan Rou's troops were downstream, and the distance between the two sides was no more than five miles.

The expected fierce collision did not happen, and in order to "avoid suspicion", Yan Rou neither let the team cross the river to join Zhao Yun, nor did he order an attack on the Xianbei people, but quietly set up his troops on the edge of the river beach.

This situation is like a lion and a leopard fighting, and suddenly a tiger comes, if the lion continues to attack the leopard, it will inevitably be desperately resisted by the leopard before it dies, and when the leopard dies, the lion will also be severely damaged, but the tiger is unscathed.

I don't know when, the Xianbei people besieging the Han army camp have retreated, and Kebineng no longer urges the warriors in the tribe to continue to fight with the Han army. He looked at Yan Rou's troops on the other side of the river with a gloomy face, and he felt like he had been teased.

Zhao Yun didn't care about wiping the sweat from his forehead, and he ordered the soldiers beside him: "Prepare a pile of firewood, let the people collect the horse dung and cow dung in the camp, and quickly light the smoke!" ”

Not long after, billowing smoke rose into the sky in the Han army camp.

After Yan Rou saw the pillar of smoke, he immediately lit a pile of smoke as an echo.

Two piles of smoke rose one after another on both sides of the river, expressing only one meaning, that is, the troops brought by Yan Rou and the Han army acted in concert.

Kebi Neng was unwilling, and was still hesitating whether to give an order to Suo Nu, let Suo Nu lead the army to entangle Yan Rou's troops, and on his own side, he launched the last strong attack on the Han army's food team.

Suddenly, someone beside him whispered, "My lord, there is also a pillar of smoke rising in the west!" ”

To the west, it is in the direction of Macheng. What does it mean when the smoke rises?

Kebineng spat fiercely and ordered: "All departments listen to the order, immediately retreat, and return to Ningcheng!" ”

The Xianbei people, who had no intention of fighting, carried their dead people on horseback and slowly retreated to the north bank......

In the camp, Xiahou Lan reclined on a damaged square van, stared at Yan Rou's troops on the other side of the river for a long time, and remembered what Zhao Yun had said in the night-"Even if Yan Rou agrees to help, in order to preserve his strength, he will not really be able to fight hard with Kebi." ”

"Sure enough, in Yan Rou's eyes, there is only interests, and there is no so-called national righteousness and the safety of the people at all! After all, this bureaucrat is a scourge in Youzhou, and sooner or later it must be eliminated! ”

Xia Houlan said to herself silently in her heart.

After the Xianbei people had already moved towards Ningcheng, Zhao Yun ordered the troops to pull out the camp and slowly march in the direction of Macheng.

Yan Rou's troops never crossed the river, but marched in tandem with the food delivery team on the other bank. Although the Han army on the other side of the river was seriously damaged, and more than 4,000 people were killed and wounded in today's battle, Yan Rou did not have the heart to rob this batch of grain. He clearly saw that the revenge water had been stained red with blood just now, and if he crossed the river to grab food at this time, he was afraid that the remaining Youzhou soldiers would burst out with even more terrifying lethality.

For this batch of food, too many people have died, and at this time, whoever dares to do it will want the lives of these grain guards, and the result will inevitably be endless.

Zhao Yun sent someone to send Yan Zhi to the other side of the river, so that the Yan family brothers could meet.

Yan Rou asked Yan Zhi, "Is everything good in the clan?" ”

Yan Zhi replied: "The surnamed Zhao was very ruthless at the beginning, threatening my father with death to bring me to Macheng, but the clan was actually not harmed. ”

"That's good, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Big brother, I heard from the soldiers of the Han army in the camp that you let the Xianbei people in, but is there such a thing?" Yan Zhi asked in a low voice.

Yan Rou replied unhappily: "Hmph, don't ask random things that shouldn't be asked!" If I hadn't persecuted Liu Yu Lao'er so much, how could he have agreed to treat me as the protector of Wuhuan Sima! ”

"What do we do next?"

"Escort the grain team to Macheng, and then return to Quang Ninh to continue to see Liu Yu and Kebineng confront."

"Why don't you help Liu Yu drive Kebi out of Youzhou?"

"The benefit given by Liu Yu can only let me help him escort the grain team, not to the point of letting my soldiers work for him!"

"However, if the Xianbei people rush into the hinterland of Youzhou, our Yan clan will also be impacted!"

"The situation has really reached that point, I will naturally lead troops to Guangyang to protect our Yan family!"

The two brothers chattered all the way, and they didn't know that they had walked more than ten miles between them, and they had already seen the outline of Macheng from a distance.

Liu Yu, who has always been concerned about the safety of the grain team, will send a scout horse to the downstream every once in a while to inquire about the news. At the beginning, Tanma reported the news that tens of thousands of Xianbei people were besieging the grain team, which made Liu Yu very entangled in his heart, and only after Tanma reported that the beacon smoke was lit downstream, he let out a long breath.

According to the agreement with Zhao Yun in advance, Liu Yu hurriedly sent people out of the city for several miles and lit a pile of wolf smoke that was ready, which could be regarded as echoing the grain team and scaring Kebineng by the way.

When the scarred grain transporters finally appeared in Liu Yu's field of vision, the benevolent elder stood at the head of the city and shed hot tears.

Knowing that the soldiers who were protecting the grain in Ludao were besieged by the Xianbei people in turn, he couldn't lead the troops to the rescue, so he could only sit back and watch the soldiers outside the city fend for themselves.

When the soldiers trapped in the city saw the grain convoy coming to the city, they all crowded in various places on the city wall, desperately shouting and cheering for the brothers under the city.

At Liu Yu's order, thousands of soldiers rushed out of the city, carried the wounded brothers into the city, pulled grain, grass and military supplies into the city, and settled thousands of people.

After seeing Zhao Yun again, Liu Yu became even more enthusiastic.

"Zilong, it's really all thanks to you this time! This official has a wise and brave general like you and Xiahou Sima, why worry about not being able to drive away Kebineng! ”

"The adults have won the prize, and the cloud doesn't dare to be it! The reason why food security can be delivered this time is because thousands of soldiers work together and fight to the death! ”

"I've already asked Zilong to prepare a bedroom, you should hurry up and rest, it's really tiring you these days. When you recover, this officer has more important tasks to entrust to you. Liu Yu said with a concerned face.

"I don't feel tired from my job, and this is not the time to rest. When he set off from Guangyang, Xian Yufu had already escorted the second batch of grain and grass on the road, and it was estimated that he had already passed Zhuolu at this time, not far from Guangning. I beg your Excellency to allocate 3,000 cavalry, and I will lead you to meet them! ”

"Zilong is so diligent, he is really a model for the soldiers of the three armies! This is the tiger talisman for the transfer of troops, this officer will hand over all the troops in Macheng to you to command and deploy, how to act, everything is done according to your will! ”
