"Let's go!" Just a moment later, Zhang Liao had already turned his gaze back, and then rode on his war horse and made preparations to meet the enemy.

The sound of the horn sounded again, and the hundreds of thousands of Xishu troops roared, and launched a final attack on the side of the river with torches. Opposite them, a general in an orange cloak, armed with a halberd, led the way in the recoil, and soon after, he was hidden in the crowd of soldiers, and the orange cloak rose like a kite in the night, rising and falling into the distance...

A scout in black armor came to the front of a Celestial Empire army, the soldier fell from the healthy horse with a thud, and then said with tears on his face: "Military Division, the battle of the river has ended, and now the enemy Zhang Ren is retreating in the direction of Mianzhu with the army, and General Cao Xiu is leading the soldiers to carry out a fierce resistance. ”

"Wait." Deng Ai, who was called the military advisor, looked shocked at this moment, "You said that the battle of the river has ended, then let me ask you, where is the commander of the legion?" ”

"Army... The army of 20,000 army commanders was wiped out, and I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck. As if it were just a breath, the tears in the corners of the scout's eyes grew a lot more when he said this.

"Strategist." Just as the scout finished speaking, Deng Ai felt that it was dark in front of him, and then the whole person was stunned immediately, if it weren't for the quick eyes of the deputy commander of Pang De on the side, I am afraid that the person would fall from the horse.

After hearing the news of the annihilation of Zhang Liao's entire army, Deng Ai was so angry that he fainted. Pound on the side stretched out his hand to catch it and handed it to the soldiers on the side, and then he cut off his head and danced with a big knife, and said loudly: "Sons, the legion commander was killed by the enemy, and we will avenge the legion leader!" ”

"Revenge!" The soldiers of the Celestial Empire shouted loudly, at this moment, the anger in their hearts was completely ignited, and now there is only one thing they want to do, that is, to kill all the Xishu soldiers.

......

At this moment, Zhang Ren didn't know that the reinforcements of the Seventh Army were coming, and he was leading his troops to break through several lines of defense arranged by Cao Xiu. And at this moment, his face was complacent.

In the battle of the river, he was overjoyed after knowing that there were only 20,000 enemy troops among them, and Zhang Liao, the commander of the Seventh Legion, was among them. Even the soldiers sent by General Wang Ping to ask for help in Mianzhu City were also put aside and did not care. At that moment, in his eyes, there was only one thing to do, which was to kill Zhang Liao to shock the army and raise his name.

And after the continuous onslaught, in one day and one night, he lost 30,000 troops, and finally did this, although because of the chaos of the battle, he did kill Zhang Liao with his own hands, but he did get the orange cloak that had just been tied to Zhang Liao's body from his soldiers.

This is a symbol of Zhang Liao's body, and now that he has a cloak in his hand, Zhang Liao must have died in the chaos.

Thinking that he had actually killed a legion commander of the Celestial Empire army, Zhang Ren was excited. In his opinion, it was worthwhile to be able to do this, and now he was going to lead the army back to Mianzhu City and kill all the Celestial Empire troops who had entered the city in disguise, so that this battle would be regarded as a complete victory. As for the cavalry of the Qiang Kingdom, which supported the main force of the Seventh Legion, what does it matter to them whether they live or die? These people were invited by the prime minister, and they were not invited by themselves, and they had nothing to do with him.

After killing Zhang Liao, Zhang Ren is now like an arrow, he knows very well that although it is said that killing a legion commander is a great achievement, if he loses Mianzhu City, it will not be a great achievement but a great crime. The gateway to Yizhou must not be lost.

It's just that Cao Xiu also got the news of the annihilation of Zhang Liao's army, so how could Zhang Ren break through his own defense line so easily?

Although Cao Xiu was originally a person from the Wei State, and even the King of Wei died in the hands of Zhang Chao, since he joined the Celestial Empire, he was quickly infected by the atmosphere here. If you want to advance in the Celestial Empire, what you look for is not your qualifications, but your ability. Even if you are an enemy of the Celestial Empire in the past, you can join in immediately, you are a brother, as long as you perform well, you will be rewarded with merit and punishment. For example, Cao Xiu relied on his outstanding performance in the Zhangjia Military Academy to become a high-ranking deputy commander, and he could freely lead tens of thousands of troops.

This kind of treatment is far more powerful than when he was in the Wei State, and it also makes Cao Xiu understand that judging his position by military merit is not just Zhang Chao's words, but actually handled. If so, how could he not behave well? If a person is alive, who would not want to live a better life?

Not to mention, after Cao Xiu came to the Seventh Legion, Zhang Liao, as the commander of the Legion, did not see him clearly because of his history, but on the contrary, all the power that should be given to him was given, which made him even more grateful. Now I hear that something may have happened to Zhang Liao, as the deputy commander of the corps, where is the reason not to die? Even for the sake of being taken care of in the past, he needs to avenge Zhang Liao.

Cao Xiu's blocking was very tenacious, so much so that Zhang Ren, who had more troops, only broke through two lines of defense after killing for several hours, and there was still the last line of defense blocking him, and now, the heavens began to light up.

"Boom, boom, boom...", the sound of the great earthquake trembled from far and near, and hearing this sound, only a little experienced person knew that it was the sound of a cavalry rush.

Hearing this voice, Zhang Ren, who was directing his army to break through, showed a hint of joy on his face, but then he had some doubts. He didn't know who the cavalry was here, if it was the best of the Wuqiang Kingdom, he would have enough strength to eat all these soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty of Cao Xiu, but what if it was the military horses of the Seventh Legion? Isn't he in danger?

When Zhang Ren was still wondering who was coming, the fast horse scout in the distance had already run over, "Report, it's the cavalry of the Celestial Empire, it's the cavalry of the Celestial Empire!" ”

It was still a little farther away, and the scout was already shouting, and his face was terrified.

"Not good." Zhang Ren first secretly said that it was not good, and then he turned around and ordered: "Speed up the attack, we must rush out as fast as possible, as long as we can enter Mianzhu City, we will be safe." ”

Not to mention that after the other party came, he Zhang Ren had to lose his advantage in front of the number of troops, and he had to enjoy the pain of attacking from both sides, just to say that after a few days of fighting, the soldiers were already exhausted, and now they are just relying on a belief to support themselves, if they really fall into the encirclement, the belief is likely to collapse, so that the result can be imagined.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Celestial Empire army has not arrived, the only way to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible is to wait for it to be surrounded, and there is little hope of breaking out.

At this moment, as soon as Zhang Ren's order was issued, the sergeants under his command began to rush frantically in the direction of Mianzhu City, even in the face of the arrow array built by Cao Xiu, few people retreated.

"It must be our reinforcements that have arrived, and everyone who comes will rush up with me, in short, we can't let them run, we have to avenge the commander of the legion." Cao Xiu saw that the Xishu army accelerated the speed of the attack, and knew that it should be Deng Ai's military division that led people to arrive, which made him see hope again, and he jumped out of the horse and led the soldiers to fight back.

Charge to charge, this is a hard battle, for a time the two sides are chaotic together, everyone is a desperate frame, between every breath, there are soldiers are killed, and a stream of blood is rushing to the sky.

Cao Xiu's sudden counterattack made it difficult for Zhang Ren's idea of breaking out of the encirclement to realize, and although he had tried his best, there was still no possibility of rushing out in a short time and returning to Mianzhu City.

When the two sides fought together for half an hour, and thousands of people died in each other, Pound finally rushed over with the main force of the Seventh Legion.

There are more than 200,000 horses, as soon as they enter the battlefield, they give the Xishu army a great pressure, not to mention, they originally came under the banner of avenging the commander of the legion, all the soldiers are a little red-eyed, it can be said that the morale is extremely strong, in this case, the Xishu army, which has been caught in the attack on both sides, will only become more passive.

When Pound led the army in, his eyes were already red. After he came to the Seventh Legion, Zhang Liao has always been very important and concerned about him, saying that it is not too much to say that he is his brother, and now someone has killed his brother, it is conceivable what should be done as a younger brother.

Holding the big knife in his hand, often the sound of the knife rolls, it will take the head of an enemy and fly into the air, but outside of Pound, there is no one to beat, under such a crazy killing intent, the Xishu army has no ability to stop, so it has to retreat, looking forward to the emergence of a miracle.

......

Beside the river, the sky had been lit up, bringing up a mist of water that made it difficult to see the distance. Only the sound of running water in my ears is so clear.

It was the sound of the flowing water that was too loud that woke up a ray of horror from the undead on the original messy battlefield.

Many soldiers who were not yet dead, or who were in a coma because of serious injuries, gradually woke up in the rumbling sound of flowing water, causing the originally dead battlefield to become a trace of fresh air. Among these people, a burly, but only wearing a soldier's uniform is particularly extraordinary, because compared to other people who are more injured, even very serious, he just has some more blood stains on his body, and he really has no serious injuries, at this moment he is looking around soberly, and after seeing the military uniform he is wearing, there is a trace of confusion, as if he is trying to recall something.

"Commander, you're awake, are you alright?" While the burly man was still looking down and thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and then a soldier wearing a personal military uniform got up from the ground with a happy expression.
