Xu Huang is indeed a famous general in the world.

Since Xu Huang left Yang Feng and returned to Cao Cao, he has participated in major battles such as the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Jizhou, the Battle of White Wolf Mountain, the Battle of Nanjun, the Battle of Weinan, and the Battle of Liangzhou, and has made many meritorious contributions.

Of course, Xu Huang basically fought as a deputy general or subordinate general in these battles, and the battle that really made him famous has not happened yet.

However, compared to Chen Shi, Xu Huang can indeed be suppressed steadily in terms of ability and merit.

Chen Shima. There is one thing to say, although this general is a trick in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but if you really want to talk about ability, it is really not bad.

After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he promoted a group of generals of the new generation, among which there are two people who are most valued, one is Chen Shi and the other is Gao Xiang, in fact, the ability of both of them is not bad.

The battle of Hanzhong was a battle with many famous generals, and Chen Shi's ability to leave his name in this battle shows his ability and Liu Bei's trust in him.

Facing the attack, Chen Shi is indeed not Xu Huang's opponent, but Chen Shi has Chen Shi's method.

Xu Huang is now withdrawing the army, and the sergeant's mind is on returning to Hanzhong, so even if someone breaks off, he will not be too far away from the army.

Therefore, Chen Shi chose to hang not far behind Xu Huang's army, and when he had the opportunity, he would sneak attack, and if he didn't have a chance, he would continue to hang like this, disgusting Xu Huang half to death.

The soldiers who are in a hurry to go home are followed by a group of enemies, and they will sneak attack you from time to time, how can you retreat with peace of mind?!

If it drags on like this, it will be quite detrimental to the morale of the army.

Therefore, Xu Huang once designed to ambush Chen's army more than once on the way, trying to give Chen Shi a fatal blow and completely solve the tail behind him.

Chen Shi did sometimes be fooled, but he never ventured forward, and when he saw that he was ambushed, he quickly retreated, not giving Xu Huang's army a chance to pursue him.

Although some soldiers and horses will also be lost because of this, they have not been defeated after all, and the army that is still pestering Xu Huang continues to be so disgusting.

In the end, Xu Huang had to slow down his march and be on guard step by step until the army withdrew to Yangping Pass.

Chen Shi also did not love war, and after Xu Huang retreated to Yangping Pass, he also led the army to retreat and retreated to camp in the middle of Ma Ming Pavilion Road.

If there is a grain transport team from Yangping Pass, Chen Shi will not attack with a large army, but will send a small force to loot a little today and consume a little tomorrow, and will definitely not give Xu Huang a chance to set up an ambush with the grain transport team.

And Chen Shi's accumulation of small amounts of dispatch did make it more and more difficult for Yangping Pass to supply Guangshi.

Ma Mingge Road has not been extinct, but it is not completely extinct, on this road, to ensure the transportation of grain and grass, it still needs a certain amount of force protection.

In this way, it also involved Xu Huang's strength and attention, so that Xu Huang could not go to Yangping Pass to help Xiahou Yuan defend head-on.

In this way, in the battle of Ma Mingge Road, Liu Bei's group was indeed at a disadvantage, but it was not without the strength of a battle, although Cao Jun had the upper hand, there was no way to send troops to threaten Liu Beijun's grain road.

And at this time, Liu Bei made another move, ordering Gao Xiang to lead 10,000 soldiers again to aid Wei Yan, and the two of them joined forces to besiege Zhang He in Guangshi, intending to take Guangshi City directly.

With Guangshi City in hand, Liu Bei would not have to think about whether it was a desperate matter, and there would be no threat to the grain and grass passages in the rear, so he could withdraw the army of Wei Yan and others and strengthen the frontal attack at Yangping Pass.

But Zhang He disagreed.

Zhang He can open the pendulum, but the bottom line of his pendulum is that Guangshi City cannot be lost, and if he loses it, he will be unlucky.

In order not to be unlucky, Zhang He suddenly used all his skills.

And once Zhang He shows his real skills, it is really not something that Gao Xiang or Chen Shi can do.

Zhang He first took advantage of the poor defense of the besieging defenders on the west side, and suddenly led the army to attack, and after a burst of killing, he broke through Liu Bei's army at the west gate, and then immediately sent several horsemen to Yangping Pass to ask Xu Huang for help.

Then, Zhang He took advantage of this rare gap to try to bypass Liu Beijun's siege position at the south gate and directly attack Liu Beijun's main formation.

If you can break through Liu Beijun's main formation in one fell swoop and kill Liu Beijun's commander, then things will be much smoother.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Beijun's main general was Wei Yan.

Although Wei Yan didn't expect Zhang He to be able to break through the besieging soldiers at the West Gate, let alone that Zhang He would be so bold to come to attack the main formation, and he came so quickly, but Wei Yan was Wei Yan in the end.

There are not many defenders of Zhang He in Guangshi City, so there are not many soldiers he can use to assault, but more than a thousand people.

And Wei Yan already has Gao Xiang's assistance, and now the army has the absolute upper hand.

The only problem was that because Zhang He's raid was too fast and unexpected, it caused some panic in the Chinese army's main formation, and some soldiers didn't know what they should do.

If this atmosphere spreads, and if Zhang He really breaks through the soldiers in the front, it may cause panic and rout in the whole army.

Wei Yan knew this very well, so his decision was also very fast, and immediately ordered Gao Xiang to stay in the Chinese army and command the other soldiers to surround Zhang He, and he himself led the Chinese army to advance together and rushed to the front army to face Zhang He.

It is necessary to stop Zhang He's advance in time and stabilize the morale of the army As long as the morale of the army is stabilized, Zhang He's people have nothing to fear.

This choice is actually very risky, once Wei Yan does not block Zhang He's assault, or even is killed by Zhang He on the spot, then the tens of thousands of soldiers in the entire camp will directly collapse and flee, and Liu Bei's army will inevitably be defeated.

But this choice is really Wei Yan.

Throughout history, Wei Yan's command operations would only have two outcomes, either a big victory or a big defeat.

This is determined by Wei Yan's personality and command style, sometimes Wei Yan will win and sometimes lose inexplicably.

In the past, Wei Yan's official position was not high, and he did not lead an army alone, and this characteristic in this regard has not yet appeared, and this siege of Guangshi is the first manifestation of his character.

Wei Yan rushed to the front army, Zhang He was immediately overjoyed, and originally thought that this little force might not be able to attack the Chinese army, and Zhang He planned to accept it when he saw it.

Who knew that the other party's master would actually send it to the door by himself.

That Zhang He was polite, commanding the soldiers to concentrate their forces and assault Wei Yan.

And Wei Yan's reaction was not slow, and he also commanded the Chinese army to guard, and the two teams of people and horses on Mai Mang fought together.

Wei Yan's Chinese army's personal defense ability is really not bad, after all, he is also a person who has followed Zhang Xi for a period of time in Jiangxia, although Wei Yan doesn't like Zhang Xi very much, but Wei Yan feels "really fragrant" about Zhang Xi's training method.

Therefore, as time went by, Zhang He found that the soldiers he led were a little unable to defeat Wei Yan's Chinese army guards. This one is kind of incredible.

But the situation on the scene changed, and Zhang He was not given too much time to react, seeing that Liu Bei's soldiers slowly calmed down, Zhang He knew that there was not much time for him, and he had to withdraw quickly, otherwise it would be too much loss and not in his own interests.

Therefore, Zhang He personally led the troops to break off and cover the retreat of the soldiers.

As soon as Cao's army withdrew, Wei Yan did not take advantage of the situation to collect his troops, but continued to lead the army in pursuit, and soon ran into Zhang He's broken rear troops.

This time, Wei Yan did not command the soldiers to fight, but took the lead in the charge himself, and went to Zhang He.

Zhang He looked at Wei Yan's posture, and said in his heart, "My battle-hardened famous generals can still be afraid of you? !

Immediately, he ignored it, rode his horse forward, and led the soldiers to kill him.

The two sides fought against generals and soldiers against soldiers.

In particular, Wei Yan and Zhang He, who went back and forth on the battlefield, did not command the soldiers to fight at all, but somewhat reproduced the tradition of the Spring and Autumn Period, and were fighting the generals alone.

The two rode back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, and it was still difficult to tell the winner. On the contrary, the soldiers on both sides fought and decided not to fight.

These two, riding their horses and impacting, there is no one else in their eyes, these more than a dozen rounds of fighting, they are not harmful, the soldiers were hit and injured more than a dozen, more casualties than the two sides fighting.

When the soldiers on both sides saw this situation, they actually gave up the field unusually tacitly, divided into two groups, and knocked the blades to cheer the main generals on both sides to stop fighting.

And Wei Yan and Zhang He were fighting, slowly calming down, and also found that the situation was not quite right at this time.

Why is it that only the two of us are fighting on the entire battlefield?!

Zhang He didn't want to fight in the first place, anyway, his soldiers had almost already withdrawn to the city, and it would be too late if he didn't leave.

Although Wei Yan usually has a somewhat tiger personality, this person is also arrogant, and he has been fighting with Zhang He for so long and has not been able to help others, and he has some admiration for Zhang He.

Looking at the battlefield again, the two of them were fighting, and everyone else was watching the show, and Wei Yan didn't want to fight.

Wei Yan doesn't read much, he doesn't know that this kind of heads-up before the battle, in the Spring and Autumn Period, only a general can do, regardless of victory or defeat, it is a symbol of honor Wei Yan feels that he, as the main general, fights with people in front of the battle, as if he has lost his identity.

It's like a fighting dog in the market that is being watched by people, so I don't do it.

So the two of them had a tacit understanding with each other, and at the end of a round, they still didn't score, and they each retreated to their own formations.

Zhang He led the troops to retreat slowly, but Wei Yan only sneered and did not pursue, letting Zhang He leave.

Wei Yan thinks that Zhang He's ability is good, so he doesn't want to take advantage of others by fighting more and less.

But in Zhang He's eyes, this is Wei Yan's style of a general, and he praised Wei Yan after he went back.

But after that. How to fight and how to fight.

Wei Yan, who had raised his vigilance, would not give Zhang He a chance to break out of the encirclement, re-encircled the four gates, relied on the large number of people to bully the few people, and attacked the city with all his might.

Now Zhang He has no way to praise Wei Yan, after all, he has few soldiers, and Guangshi City is not a strong city.

One thing to say, Zhang He is really not easy.

Xiahou Yuan has a total of more than 30,000 soldiers, and he has to garrison Yangping Pass, and the garrison force that can be assigned to Zhang He is only 3,000 people, while Xu Huang's rescue force has 5,000 people, but it is still in Yangping Pass for the time being, and it will take a certain amount of time to get rid of Chen Shi's harassment and come to the rescue.

And in Wei Yan's hands, with Gao Xiang's assistance, there are more than 10,000 people, attacking a Guangshi City whose city defense is not very strong, and it is not easy for Zhang He to hold on until now.

Not to mention that Zhang He also took the initiative to attack, broke the siege army of Ximen, and attacked Wei Yan's Chinese army, killing and wounding more than 2,000 people, which is already very outstanding.

In addition, Zhang He defended Guangshi for more than ten days, and finally waited for Xu Huang's second rescue, which temporarily alleviated the danger of Guangshi City breaking, and also obtained the supply of grain, grass, ordnance and soldiers.

The battle of Ma Ming Pavilion Road continues.
