Chapter XXXII

Jieting City is also known as Longcheng, a Longcheng River passes through the city, between the two high mountains in the north and south, but cleverly avoids all the mountain ranges, only winds and circles under the mountain, and rushes to complete the Longcheng within an hour, at a glance at the city wall that is piled up by a lot of stones in the east, and the heart is also hesitant, this kind of city wall, once Zhang He ordered a full-scale attack, can hold up for half an hour at most.

"General Wang, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your headquarters?" Li Xian asked.

Wang Ping arched his hand at the head of the city and said, "General, there are actually only 5,000 people in my headquarters. ”

Li Xian thought about it in his heart, Ma Jian himself commanded a total of 25,000 soldiers and horses, excluding Wang Ping's headquarters, about 20,000 people are now camping on the Nanshan Mountain in front, leaving 6,000 people who can participate in the battle in his own headquarters, if he can gather all the troops, there should be 30,000 people who can fight at this time, even if Zhang He presses all the defenders of Chencang, if all 30,000 people are camped in the road and resist for a while, there is absolutely no problem, but Ma Jian is now camping his main force on the mountain, and only 10,000 people can fight, although there is no bottom in his heart, but the face must remain calm.

"Gong Jie, raise the banner of this general! Right here in this city! Li Xian ordered.

"Yes!" Gong Jie hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to raise the banner of General Han Zhengdong, and then another banner of recovering the Central Plains was also raised in Longcheng.

"Report! Enemy troop tracks are spotted ahead! It's Wei General Zhang He! ”

"Probe!"

Li Xian continued to look at the billowing smoke and dust in front of him expressionlessly, his heart was already surging, but his face was still calm.

Under the South Mountain.

Zhang He looked at Nanshan, which was cleverly avoided by this Longcheng River, and couldn't help laughing, and said to Le Lin: "With such a formation, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and General Le has an opinion?" ”

Le Lin heard Zhang He's question, so he replied: "The general smiled, then the general said, this mountain waterway is under the mountain but not on the mountain, and the land of Nanshan is up and down this narrow mountain road, and our army only needs to use five hundred strong bows and crossbows to lie on both sides of the mountain road, and Ma Jian will naturally not attack himself." ”

Zhang He stroked his beard and smiled: "It's not a loss, it's the son of General Le, if you win this battle, the old man will teach you this ability!" This crossing will be handed over to you. ”

Le Lin first thanked him, and then asked puzzledly, "Does my uncle want to go somewhere else?" ”

Zhang He smiled: "Have you seen that big flag?" The old man heard for a long time that this person was a tiger general who captured Meng in Nanzhong, and he thought about it for a while, and wanted to break the horse with the general, if it wasn't for the unbearable spear in his hand, this great merit, I am not willing to give it to you. Then you will take 5,000 soldiers and guard this mountain road until it dies without water. ”

Le Lin nodded and said, "Uncle, be careful!" ”

Zhang He stopped talking, urged the horse to raise the gun, and beckoned the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to go straight to Longcheng.

Longcheng City Head.

Li Xian can see clearly, at this moment, the mountain road in Nanshan has been blocked by the crossbowmen led by Le Lin, even if he sends troops to rescue him at this moment, it is naturally sent to the tiger's mouth, and he can only find a way to hold Longcheng, which is the best policy.

Gong Jie and Wang Ping were fighting behind Li Xian at this moment, and said: "General, that is Zhang He, the number one general in the world, has already rushed here. How should our army respond to the enemy, and can the general have a countermeasure? ”

Li Xian is also helpless, the opposite is Zhang He, don't talk about him, even if Zhao Yun is here now, he may not be able to defeat Zhang He, thinking of this time, his heart moved, since the other side thought that I was afraid of him, so I defended according to the danger, why not rush him once, and then come to defend the city, my mind moved slightly, and asked: "If you are Zhang He, what will you do at this moment?" ”

Gong Jie arched his hand and said: "Of course, it is to besiege but not attack, only to take our army to see that General Ma Jian is naturally frightened after the defeat, and then persuade to surrender such a battle of attacking the heart, our army will naturally be defeated." ”

Li Xian nodded: "Since this is the case, then do the opposite!" Gong Jie, you will cover with bows and arrows at the head of the city, and I will take all the rattan armor halberds and charge the battle first! General Wang Ping, you should hurry up and take 5,000 people to continue repairing the city wall! ”

When Wang Ping and Gong Jie heard this, they knelt down and said: "The general can't be taken lightly, that Zhang He is a tiger, and the general should focus on the overall situation!" ”

"Listen, even if I don't come back this time, don't lose this city! No need to persuade anymore! Li Xian said resolutely, immediately ordered the second general to get up, and he went to order the troops without looking back.

Under Longcheng, due to the long-distance attack, Zhang He's army was not much better than Li Xian's troops, but one came from the wooden door road in Nan'an, and the other came from the Baochuan Road.

"General, the enemy general has opened the city gate!"

Zhang He was shocked when he heard this, and immediately looked at Longcheng, but saw a kind of armor that he had never seen before, pouring out of the city, and the phalanx was rapidly advancing forward.

Zhang He looked at these soldiers in full armor, even with masks, and was shocked, and secretly said Hasn't this Shu Han always been poor and weak, why is there so much armor, in the end, it is a famous general in the world, and immediately ordered: "Form a formation!" Meet the enemy! ”

Li Xian was in the middle of the military formation and immediately commanded: "All the soldiers! It's time to revive the Han Dynasty! Charge with me! ”

"Drink!" The four thousand rattan armor halberds shouted in unison, and at this time, they seemed to be like a rainbow, giving Zhang He's army array, which was already the original arrival, an invisible spiritual pressure.

Zhang He sneered: "Do all the bells and whistles." Immediately raised his gun, stood in front of the formation, and shouted: "Li Xian! Your grandfather Zhang He is here, can you dare to fight in front of the battle? ”

Before Zhang He's words fell, he saw an arrow flying from the head of the city, Zhang He's eyes were quick in the end, and he immediately avoided the arrow, and shouted angrily: "Who released the arrow!" ”

"Your grandfather Gong Jie is here! Piff! Since you can't beat my general, go back to farming as soon as possible and keep your number one signboard in the world! Gong Jie shouted angrily at the head of the city.

In the end, these words made Zhang He angry, and he shouted: "Soldiers, press me down!" ”

Zhang He was behind countless armor soldiers, raising the shield in his hand, a piece of black pressure, if it weren't for the long and narrow tunnels of the street pavilion, and the mountains in the north and south, Li Xianzhi's department should be surrounded and annihilated at this moment, this so-called narrow road meeting, even so, the voice of ten thousand people calling for harmony is still more deterrent than the shouting of thousands of people.

Immediately afterwards, due to Li Xian's order to rush the formation and Zhang He's pressure formation, the two armies soon met each other on this narrow road, and after a while, these Wei soldiers were surprised to find that these halberd warriors without shields were not only wearing light armor, but also invulnerable, and the soldiers engaged in the front began to fall in pieces, looking at the fallen comrades-in-arms in groups, although the soldiers in the back row could not see what happened to the troops in front, but such a casualty rate was indeed a little confusing, plus they were also in a hurry, For a while, many soldiers began to feel timid.

"Suddenly! Give me a surprise! Li Xian raised the spear in his hand, commanded Ruo Ding on the Feihong horse, and the soldiers in the front row saw that their side was almost zero heads on this narrow mountain road to fight against the enemy, and for a time it was even more aroused, after all, his own main general, he had never lost a battle, and he was even more rising, and the halberd in his hand was getting smoother and smoother.

Zhang He was already stunned at this time, and immediately ordered: "The whole army is pressed and cut hard for Lao Tzu!" ”

"General 、、、, the enemy army will 、、、 and magic skills, and they really can't cut it!" A lieutenant was also at a loss for a moment in the face of this kind of scene.

Zhang He still didn't believe it, galloped his horse, and came to the front of the battle, but he only saw the corpse of the Wei army in one place, and he couldn't see a Shu army at all, and he was shocked in his heart, it was Zhang He in the end, and he smiled at this time: "Don't worry, generals, change formations, and the cavalry is in front!" Infantry rear press! ”

Suddenly, I heard someone in the city shouting: "General, Zhang He has changed formation!" Thanks to this ten-meter fault from west to east, the head of Longcheng City can see the rear of Zhang He's army at a glance.

Li Xian nodded under the city, and commanded again: "Receive!" ”

This team of rattan armor halberds formed a phalanx again, and took advantage of the gap between Zhang He's change of formation to enter Longcheng in an orderly manner.

Zhang He's army array.

"General, the enemy general has retreated!"

When Zhang He heard this, he looked again, but he could only see the corpses left in the battle just now. He was angry in his heart, he knew that if he transferred the infantry to the front again, this Li Xian would inevitably attack, it was better to use the cavalry to press it in Longcheng, so that it could not move, but if these cavalry were used to attack the city, it would be too unrealistic, but if Longcheng was not broken, Shanggui and Longxi grain roads were not connected, then Yongliang would not disappear for half a month, and it would inevitably change hands, it was really a dilemma, and he was also annoyed when he thought of it, but suddenly, Zhang He's heart moved slightly, and he immediately thought about it, and ordered: "The whole army retreats to the Nanshan Pass." ”

"Why did the general retreat?" A lieutenant in the battalion asked.

"Li Xiannai is a good general in the world, at this time, the hard attack will inevitably cause heavy damage, our army is stationed at the Nanshan Pass, he will come to the rescue when he sees the defeat of Ma Tan, and when the time comes, our army will be flanked before and after, and the enemy army will be broken." Zhang He pinched his beard and smiled.

At the head of Longcheng City, Li Xian stood at the head of the city again, and saw at a glance that Zhang He had joined forces with Le Lin again, gathered at the Nanshan Pass, frowned, and immediately ordered: "The whole army will not be allowed to go out of the city to meet the battle without my order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

"Order!"
