As soon as he struck a big knife and spear, he saw a famous archer killed and fell to the ground, and for a while, the smell of blood spread far away.

"The archers retreat, the pikemen follow me." General Zhang Xiu, who was just about to enter through the city gate, saw Yan Liang kill and saw his own archers being severely damaged, so he immediately glared angrily, and then rushed forward with his soldiers.

Zhang Xiu aimed at the place where Yan Liang was and rushed forward. He saw very clearly just now that this General Zhang Chao had killed more than ten of his own soldiers in a row, and if such a person was not removed, it would only increase the prestige of others.

With his superb sword skills, Yan Liang killed more than a dozen people in a row, including a general of Liu Beijun. When he was getting up, a ride came from afar, and before anyone arrived, the voice was already heard in advance, "I am Zhang Xiu, the general of His Majesty Emperor Yuan, who dares to fight with me." ”

"Nameless person, bring me Yan Liang to meet you." General Yan, who has always refused to admit defeat, also put away the long-handled broadsword in his hand, gave up the idea of fighting the enemy in front of him, and greeted Zhang Xiu, who was rushing forward.

Zhang Xiu, the eldest apprentice of the martial arts master Tong Yuan, has a handful of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear" to shock the world.

There are also people in history who say that Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun are actually brothers, but no matter how true it is, this person's strength is indeed good, otherwise he would not have done anything to defeat Cao Cao's army.

Such a proud person, how could he not be angry when he heard what Yan Liang said about the nameless person now?

You must know that among the generals of the entire Liu Bei group, he is only convinced by the second general Guan Yu and the third general Zhang Fei. Even another junior brother, Zhang Ren, as well as fierce generals like Wei Yan and Hu Che'er, were not convinced.

is such a pride, and now he is indeed looked down upon by Yan Liang so much. When he landed, the qi in his heart was outward, and the Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix Spear in his hand pointed forward, stabbing straight at Yan Liang's body with the speed of the impact of the healthy horse.

Don't look at Yan Liang's mouth saying that Zhang Xiu is an unknown person, in fact, he has heard of his name more than once. The intelligence of the Tianyan organization said that this time Zhuge Liang came to block the general's troops, and he brought two generals, one of which was the third general Zhang Fei, and the other was this Zhang Xiu.

When he heard this information at that time, Yan Liang still didn't care. If you want to say that he doesn't have 100% confidence in Zhang Fei, he is full of confidence in Zhang Xiu. He also once said that once encountered, he would definitely take down his head to reward him for great merit.

Now, his wish has come true, and he is excited. Seeing the other party's spear stabbing at him, he also clenched the long-handled broadsword with both hands, and shouted to meet the enemy.

"Dang!"

There was a loud bang, and it was the Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix Spear and the long-handled broadsword colliding together.

It was only the first impact, and both of them felt a little numb in their arms, and the war horse they stepped on also snapped their noses, obviously under a lot of force.

"There are two more strokes, take me and try it." With a blow, feeling that Zhang Xiu's strength was still good, Yan Liang shouted immediately, and the long-handled broadsword in his hand turned, wiping the hundred birds towards the phoenix spear and heading forward.

With a big stroke of the long handle, he followed the body of the gun to Zhang Xiu's face, and its speed was so fast that it seemed to be a meteor.

Changed to an ordinary general, in the face of this style, I am afraid that I will be killed without waiting for any reaction. But Zhang Xiu's kung fu is not comparable to ordinary people, seeing that the knife came so quickly, he was frightened that he threw his left hand and raised his right arm, so that the long knife grazed the body of the gun and slashed aside.

As soon as he narrowly avoided this knife, the long-handled broadsword in Yan Liang's hand was a dozen horizontal, slashing horizontally in front of him.

In the face of this strong and fast knife, Zhang Xiu was also busy holding the Hundred Bird Chaohuang Spear in front of him, which was the place where the blade was blocked. But at this time, the body of his gun also became bent, and then his whole face became red.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu had to admit that Yan Liang's knife skills were fast and fierce, and he was the most powerful person who used knives except Guan Yu. If he continues to fight like this, I am afraid that he will not be the opponent of the other party.

When Zhang Xiu thought about some problems in his mind, Yan Liang had already put away the knife and returned, and then his body pressed forward, and another vertical slash came.

Facing Yan Liang's continuous active attacks, Zhang Xiu had to resist hard. And after another shot blocked the knife, he rode his horse to the side, he had already seen that such a face-to-face hard carry, he could not be the opponent of others at all, it was better to walk with the momentum of wandering, after all, the gun is much more flexible than the knife.

Zhang Xiu wanted to use the flexibility of the gun to deal with Yan Liang, that is, to beat the horse and leave.

"Where to go?" Seeing that the opponent was about to withdraw, how could Yan Liang give up, he immediately rode a horse to chase after him, and then the two of them fought in front of Chiyang City with a knife and a shot, one after the other. It's just that anyone can see that Zhang Xiu is a little invincible.

When the two generals were fighting together, under the city wall, the fifth and sixth regiments were frantically chopping the ladders that were erected on the city wall of Chiyang.

The bottom of the ladder was suddenly cut off, and he lost his balance and fell from the sky. And on each ladder there are several people standing. Suddenly fell from a high altitude, and immediately there were also casualties.

The sudden appearance of the four thousand six legion soldiers disrupted the pace of Liu Bei's army's siege, and they had no choice but to give up the siege and want to deal with these people first. And taking this opportunity, the archers under the city tower also showed their heads and lowered their arrows, and saw that Liu Beijun was hit hard for a while.

"Mingjin." Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on a large movable wooden chair in the back, really saw this scene, and said with a cautious expression flashing in his eyes.

The sound of gold sounded, and all the soldiers of Liu Beijun retreated like a tidal wave. Zhang Xiu also rode a horse and retreated, and his speed was so fast that Yan Liang could only sigh with admiration.

The first siege ended with Yan Liang suddenly killing Liu Bei's army.

In Liu Bei's military tent, Zhang Xiuzheng knelt on the ground and asked for punishment.

Zhang Xiu knew very well in her heart that if she hadn't been defeated by Yan Liang this time, the morale of the army would not have been so low, and she would not have suffered a heavy blow.

"General Zhang, get up." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Xiu kindly, without the slightest hint of blame.

Yan Liangke is a famous general in Hebei, and he is one of the most relied on generals of Yuan Shao, the former king of Jizhou, and his strength is naturally not too weak. Zhang Xiu is still young, and it is unreasonable to say that his strength is not as good as the other party.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was not to blame, Zhang Xiu stood up again with a grateful face, then thought for a while and said: "Military Division, it is better to replace the three generals, and I will be responsible for intercepting the reinforcements that may appear on the other side." ”

Zhang Xiu felt that he couldn't kill Yan Liang, so he wanted Zhang Fei to come back. Hearing these words in Zhuge Liang's ears, he also nodded lightly and said, "This can only be the case." Hehe, it seems that I think a little too highly of this Sixth Legion, they may not come to the rescue at all. ”

Zhuge Liang's statement is not unreasonable. What he originally did was the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements. To put it bluntly, the attack on Chiyang City is fake, and it is true to fight the main force of the Sixth Army Corps. And as long as the main force is hit hard, the 50,000 people in Chiyang City will not play a big role.

But unexpectedly, when the news spread, the Sixth Army Corps did not move, as if they were letting Yan Liang do to them.

At first, Zhuge Liang was also a little puzzled, but this meeting did suddenly realize a problem, that is, Yan Liang is a general, maybe such a person is not valued by Zhang Chao, Xu Rong, the commander of the Sixth Legion, and Li Ru, the military advisor, also saw this, so they did not come to the rescue.

If this happens, then the siege reinforcements he prepared will be difficult to achieve. It is impossible to let Zhang Fei and others carry out a sneak attack on the side of the road.

After figuring out these joints, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, it seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, just like Liu Bei's group is divided into several forces, presumably Zhang Chao is the same. Even so, Xu Rong and the others should not send reinforcements to come, so let's gnaw off the bone in front of them first.

"Come on, inform the third general, and let him be ready to bring the army back at any time. It's just that don't make a big show when you come back, just ambush next to Chiyang City, and don't show up without my order. Zhuge Liang revised the battle plan, he was going to defeat Yan Liang first. In this way, the 50,000 people were destroyed, which was also a great loss for the Sixth Army Corps.

...... ......

Gaolu Castle Mansion.

Xu Rong, the commander of the Sixth Legion, was walking around the hall, and there was no time for him to be stable.

On the side, the military advisor Li Ru was indeed sitting there very calmly, sipping fragrant tea, looking like he was not in a hurry.

I don't know how many times I walked back and forth, Xu Rong saw that Li Ru was still in the mood to drink tea, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Military advisor." Now that Chiyang is besieged, General Yan Liang and his entire 50,000 people are also surrounded there, you have to think of a way. ”

If you want to say that Yan Liang is surrounded, the most urgent one is Xu Rong. As the Legion Commander, now that the Deputy Legion Commander and a third of the troops are surrounded, how can you let him calm down?

It was Li Ru, who was asked by Xu Rong like this, still with an unhurried look and smiled: "Think of a way?" Hehe, not moving is the best way. ”

"It's... What does that mean? Obviously, Li Ru didn't understand the meaning.

Li Ru didn't want to hide the other party's intentions, so he sat up straight and explained very seriously, "Commander, judging from the reactions from all sides, Liu Beijun should be prepared. And the news also tells us that we didn't see Zhang Fei in Chiyang City, so what does it mean? ”

"Does it mean that they have set up an ambush on the road and have set a trap waiting for us to go?" Xu Rong also seemed to be open to asking.

"Not bad. Exactly. Li Ru gave an appreciative look. It seems that this legion commander has also learned a lot of things, at least he knows how to use his brain.
