Cao Zhen underestimated the ferocity of the Wei family's warriors. He originally thought that Wei Yan only had 2,000 people, and after the sneak attack was successful, it was already commendable to set a few fires and kill a few people, and since he began to command the army to counter-encircle, he should flee in a hurry. But he didn't expect that in the face of the shouts and killings around him, Wei Yan had no intention of running away at all, but instead intensified his efforts and led his subordinates to meet Xiahou Ba, who had just rushed out from the main gate. The Wei family soldiers behind him threw the torches in their hands to the grain pile beside him, and then raised their swords and pounced.

"Kill!" Wei Yan took the lead with a knife and went straight to Xiahou Ba, and with a roar, the war knife in his hand suddenly fell. Xiahou Ba raised his shield to meet him, and at the same time slashed out a knife, which went straight to Wei Ba's left shoulder.

"Dang!" With a roar, Wei Yan slashed at Xiahou Ba's shield, and a strong force came, Xiahou Ba snorted, and involuntarily took two steps back, and the war knife in his hand was also lost.

Wei Yan succeeded in one blow, and he was even more unforgiving, slashing three times in one breath. Xiahou Ba didn't dare to slack off, didn't care about counterattacking, and raised his shield with both hands to greet him. After three loud noises that were almost connected, the wooden shield in Xiahou Ba's hand made a crisp sound and split into four pieces, leaving only one handle still in his hand. Seeing that Wei Yan slashed over with another knife, Xiahou Ba was taken aback, couldn't help but let out a loud roar, and struggled to smash the remaining handle towards Wei Yan, and then raised the knife with both hands and slashed at Wei Yan, which turned out to be a ruthless move that hurt both sides.

Wei Yan sneered, waved the shield in his hand, knocked the handle, and at the same time grabbed the war knife in Xiahou Ba's hand, flew up with a kick, kicked Xiahou Ba in the lower abdomen, kicked Xiahou Ba two steps back, and bent down in pain.

The guards were shocked, and they rushed up one after another, slashing and killing around Wei Yan.

Wei Yan was not afraid, with a left shield and a right knife. smashed and slashed, killing five people in a row in an instant, like a fierce tiger. was brave and unstoppable, and killed Xiahou Ba's personal guards in embarrassment, and he was defeated and retreated.

"Grab the city!" Wei Yan raised his knife and yelled.

"Grab the city!" The Wei family's military guards roared in unison and exerted their strength together. Rush towards the gates.

Wei Jun changed color in shock. They were suppressed by the murderous aura of the Shu Han army, and two thousand people attacked more than 10,000 people, and they still wanted to seize the city? It sounds ridiculous. But it doesn't seem so ridiculous. Wei Yan injured Xiahou Ba in one face, and he just blocked Xiahou Ba's troops who had just rushed out of the city gate retreated step by step, constantly approaching the city gate, and there was a great chance of robbing the city.

Not only were the Wei soldiers frightened by Wei Yan's momentum, but even Cao Zhen on the city wall was taken aback. Pucheng is not big enough, and there are only more than 3,000 people stationed in it, if Wei Yan is allowed to kill it. At that time, even if they are completely annihilated, the losses will inevitably be heavy, and it is more likely that their own great general will die in the city. Without saying a word, he immediately ordered the gates to be closed.

There was a loud bang, and the gates slammed shut. Not only did Wei Yan and others be blocked outside the city, but even Xiahou Ba was also blocked outside the city.

Wei Yan let out a loud voice, and in the firelight, he raised his war knife and pointed directly at Cao Zhen at the head of the city: "Coward, do you dare to come to a battle?" ”

Cao Zhen's face turned pale, and he raised his hand and ordered: "Crossbowman, shoot!" ”

The crossbowmen gave the order and rushed to the edge of the city to shoot with all their might.

Although Wei Yan was brave, he was not stupid, and he knew that it was impossible to storm Pucheng with his bare hands. The reason why he made this gesture was just to force Cao Zhen to close the city gate, so as not to rush out in a steady stream of reinforcements inside. The goal had been achieved, and he no longer fell in love with the war, and immediately ordered a retreat.

"Dangdangdang-Dangdang-" The crisp sound of the gong sounded, and the Wei family's military guards, who were chasing the opponent's wolf, immediately gave up all attacks, quickly assembled, and covered each other to withdraw from the flaming Cao army camp. They came suddenly, retreated just as suddenly, and before the Wei army could react, they had already disappeared into the darkness.

At this time, it was the first moment of the Yin hour, the darkest time before dawn, those Wei soldiers who were dazzled by the fire in the camp could not see clearly where the Shu Han army without a torch was, some people chased over, and before they ran a hundred steps away, they were shot down head-on by a flurry of arrows, and the rain of arrows was dense and fierce, as if there were hundreds of crossbowmen lurking in the darkness.

Xiahou Ba only relieved his strength at this time, looking at the fire in the camp, he jumped like thunder, and without waiting for Cao Zhen at the head of the city to give an order, he regrouped the remnants of the army, raised the torch, and chased down. Cao Zhen couldn't stop it, so he had to order the city gate to be reopened, and sent the cavalry blocked in the city out of the city to pursue.

The cavalry carried torches and fished out of the city. The sound of horses' hooves swept through everyone's ears like drums and thunder. These cavalry are the elite of the Cao Wei Central Forbidden Army, and they often gallop outside the city these days, and they are very familiar with the terrain, even at night, they can control the war horses, and gallop all the way, and soon overtake the pursuing Xiahou Ba, and then see the figure of the Shu Han army who hurriedly fled in front.

"Catch up and kill them all!" Qi Sima roared.

"Kill them all!" The indignant knights roared in unison.

They kicked their horses again, galloped at an accelerated pace, and as they saw that the enemy's gasps could be heard as they got closer and closer, they raised their swords in their hands, leveled their halberds, quickened their horses, and rushed forward.

At this moment, a war horse that rushed to the forefront suddenly screamed, the horse lost its front hooves, fell to the ground, and the knight on the horseback was caught off guard, flew out in the clouds, and fell to the ground with a plop.

Before the others could react, two more horses fell, followed by two more.

"Be careful, there's an ambush!" The knights held the reins and shouted loudly, reminding their companions to be careful. However, under their rapid gallop, where did they have time to stop their steps, and in a series of loud noises, more than a dozen war horses fell, and the originally smooth team suddenly became messy.

"Alert-" Riding Sima, who was lucky not to fall, roared loudly as he tried his best to control his horse.

Before his roar could reach everyone's ears, a sharp whistling sound came from the darkness and quickly approached.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”

Arrows flew from the darkness and shot at the knights, at the horses. The knight screamed, the horse screamed, and the already chaotic situation became even more chaotic, and no matter how much the horse roared, it could not restore calm to the situation.

One horse after another, one knight after another, screams, neighing, mixed together. The struggling horses and knights looked very miserable under the sporadic light of torches.

And in the darkness in the distance, I don't know when the calm will return, as if it has not changed since eternity.

Xiahou Ba arrived with people, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp, he looked at the night in the distance and didn't dare to chase anymore.

Three miles away, Wei Yan bit a bamboo piece in his mouth and walked forward quickly in silence. The Wei family soldiers walked silently beside him, no one spoke, even if they were running fast, their footsteps were still as light as possible. On each of their feet was a pair of thick straw sandals, which, although they could not completely eliminate the sound of footsteps, were very good at concealing the whereabouts of the army and causing a lot of trouble to the pursuing enemy.

"Daddy, it's so enjoyable." Wei Wu rushed to Wei Yan's side and took the piece from his mouth, his voice was low, but he couldn't hide his excitement. This time, he was considered to have served his father, 4,000 people raided the main force of the Wei army of more than 10,000 people, and the father did not rush up, but divided the 4,000 army into four parts, and 2,000 of the most elite soldiers attacked the Wei army's baggage camp - the scouts had already inquired, that was the weakest part of the Wei army, and most of the battalion were Hedong soldiers who had just arrived, not only the worst strength, but also came from afar, and their bodies were exhausted. Five hundred crossbowmen were arranged at each of the two side gates, responsible for intercepting the reinforcements who were about to leave the city, and there was no need to go forward to fight, only to greet with bows and crossbows, and the remaining 1,000 people were ambushed on the retreating road as a response.

Originally, Wei Wu was very unimpressed with this arrangement, in his opinion, it was too cautious to leave half of the people to respond, it was enough to leave five hundred people at most, and the rest of the people were all killed in the enemy camp, hit with all their might, and then retreated, how refreshing it was.

However, judging from the whole course of the battle, if there were no crossbowmen lying in ambush outside the city gates, the enemy's cavalry coming out of the side gates would definitely be behind them, and it would have been a fool's dream for them to break through so smoothly. And once it falls into the encirclement of the Wei army, even if the Wei family's military soldiers are elite and don't lose half of their people, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape, where can it be as easy as now. And without the thousand people who were ambushed on the retreat road, they would sooner or later be caught up by the cavalry of the Wei army, and the losses would also be very heavy.

"Don't you think I'm timid now?" Wei Yan glanced at him and sneered.

"I've never felt like Daddy was timid." Wei Wu smiled and put the bamboo coin back in his mouth to signal the end of the conversation. He didn't want to be scolded by his father. However, as soon as his lips touched the bamboo, he realized that the army was moving in the wrong direction. If they wanted to return to Tongguan, they should be heading south, but now they are heading east. He was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Daddy, where are we going?" ”

"Go to Zhangyangchi and burn the boat."

Wei Wu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into a foul mouth: "Damn, Daddy, I really worship you too much." ”

Wei Yan sneered, chattering about bamboo coins in his mouth, but his words were clear, and his words were full of indescribable murderous aura. "When I burn their boats, I will see how they will cross the river, even if they have an army of 100,000, will they be able to swim across the river?"

Wei Wu smiled in agreement, nodded again and again, took a big stride, and followed the army towards Zhangyangchi. This is the difference between him and Wei Ba. Don't look at Wei Ba's martial arts training is also very hard, and his attacks are also very sharp, but he can't do it if he wants to march fifty miles like Wei Wu first, and then fight with the Wei army for half an hour, and he can still march like a nobody.

Not only Wei Ba can't do it, but the vast majority of people can't do it, and only Wei family warriors like Wei Wu who have been practicing hard since childhood.
