In the early morning of the next day, after burying the pot and making food, Guo Wei led more than 5,000 elite soldiers, 2,000 elite cavalry, with a corresponding siege equipment, to kill in front of Xieyang Road, set up eight catapults, kept throwing stones at Yang Zhan to build a wooden village, and set up more than ten giant crossbows, and shot thick crossbow arrows towards the wall.

There are also bed crossbows on the slopes of Yangzhan Mountain and on the wall, and there are catapults behind the wall, which are fired back. For a time, the warring sides fought so well.

It's a pity that the two armies are far apart, and although the battle is very lively, there are few casualties on each other.

"Guo Wei wants to capture Xieyang Dao like this?" Yelu Hongyan stood on a rock on the top of the mountain, and behind him stood five first-class masters and more than twenty second-rate masters.

"Of course not!" Yang Zhan said with a smile, "Guo Wei has also fought a lot of battles, and of course he doesn't expect to scare our army back just by throwing a few stones." ”

Yelu Hongyan is the granddaughter of Yelu Anduan, was named the lord of Anguo, and was quite favored by Yelu Deguang, and the Empress Dowager Shu Luping regarded her as the pearl of her palm, so she could be in charge of the martial arts, Yang Zhan did not dare to offend her, and patiently explained.

"Then why did he do this?" Yelu Hongyan was a little curious, "It's been throwing stones like this for two hours, is it possible that Guo Wei has nothing to do when he is full?" Although she is good at riding and archery and martial arts, she is not very familiar with military strategy.

"I guess Guo Wei is just putting on a show and letting Du Chongwei know that he has been here. Yang Zhan replied.

"Isn't he attacking the east and west? This palace looks at him, there are only more than 7,000 people and horses here, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses are not here. Yelu Hongyan asked again.

Yang Zhan shook his head and replied: "The palace master is extremely worried, but the palace master doesn't know, Guo Wei's camp is three miles away, his grain, grass and ordnance are all left in the camp, and someone must guard it, the two or three thousand soldiers and horses are estimated to be guarding the camp, and two or three thousand men and horses can only be said to be able to hold the camp, and there is no manpower to play other tricks, unless he is not ready to camp."

In the end, the general thought that Guo Wei might not really have the sincerity to relieve the siege of Zhenzhou on this trip.

Liu Zhiyuan guarded Hedong, one of his purposes was to deter Hebei, and there was inevitably some friction between him and Du Chongwei, and it was not surprising that they had grudges against each other.

When King Wei besieged Xinzhou City, Liu Zhiyuan could use this to refuse to rescue Du Chongwei, King Wei withdrew his troops to the east, and Liu Zhiyuan had no reason not to save Zhenzhou, so Guo Wei made his trip.

However, Xieyang Road has been guarded by our army, even if Guo Wei can break through our army's defense line, the losses he will suffer will definitely be not small, and it is difficult to say whether he has the ability to threaten Yang Shuai's South Gate battalion.

Obviously, Guo Wei didn't want to suffer such a big loss and make a wedding dress for others, so he only glanced at it a few times yesterday and withdrew three miles.

But I didn't fight like this, and I left without a fight, and I couldn't say anything, so there is today's strange thing. ”

Yelu Hongyan sneered and said: "You Central Plains people, the thoughts in your heart are really strange, and the fight is so lively that it is just for people to see! No wonder although you Central Plains have tens of millions of weights, they cannot withstand my Khitan army." ”

Yang Zhan was silent for a while, and said secretly: "If it weren't for the fact that all the princes were secretly selfish, how could your Khitan army be able to kill the Yellow River?"

What Yang Zhan didn't know was that while they were discussing, Zhao Kuangyin led two thousand elite soldiers to quietly set off, leaving no more than six hundred soldiers in the camp, and the spies laid by Yang Zhan around the camp had already been swept away by all kinds of martial arts heroes.

In addition to the crazy monks, a good man in Qingping Town, the seventeenth black-clothed guard, He Chi, Wang Cheng and others also went out with Changsheng. The image of the mad monk is too easy to recognize, and Li Fengyun has already registered with Yang Zhan, if they don't appear, I am afraid that it will arouse Yang Zhan's suspicions, so Li Fengyun and the crazy monk have been standing beside Guo Wei outside the Xieyang Valley to attract Yang Zhan's attention.

The stone-throwing battle on both sides was thrown from early morning to the end, Guo Wei suddenly ordered to stop throwing stones and crossbow arrows, and seeing that Guo Wei stopped throwing stones, Yang Zhan also ordered his subordinates to stop.

Thirty soldiers with thick voices rushed to the front of the battle with huge shields in their hands, and shouted in unison: "Yang Zhan's turtle grandson, do you only dare to hide behind the wall?

Hearing this, the generals under Yang Zhan could stand it, and they all stepped forward to ask for battle.

Yang Zhan couldn't think of any tricks that Guo Wei could play, so he refused to fall into his spirit, and nodded in agreement.

I only heard a drum sound, the gate in front of Xieyang Road was opened, and a hundred soldiers rushed out, and then a black-faced general danced two Xuanhua axes, rode a black horse and rushed out, galloped to the front of the formation, two big axes knocked, and shouted: "Youzhou Zhang Ji is here, which one dares to come to die?"

Zhang Ji is quite famous in Yang Guangyuan's army, cultivated as a second-rate medium, born with great strength, can make a hundred catties of Xuanhua double axe, rich battlefield experience, extremely brave, even Yang Zhan dare not say that he can defeat him. Arranging him to fight is naturally to damage the spirit of Guo Wei's army.

"Little Zhang Ji, don't be rampant, wait for Ben to take your life in the future!" With a loud shout, a horse swept out of Guo Wei's array, a white-robed young general held a bright silver spear, stepped on a yellow horse, and the white cloak was blown high by the wind, which was quite majestic.

Look at the young general, who is only in his early twenties, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed to the front of the battle.

Zhang Jiyi pulled the reins and shouted: "Come and sign up! Zhang Mou will not kill the unknown junior under the axe!"

The young general sneered and said loudly: "I am Yang Ye of the state, don't talk more, take your life!"

Yang Ye was a subordinate general of Liu Zhiyuan's younger brother Liu Chong (Note 2), and he was a tiger general who had just entered the second rate in strength, and the official worshiped the school captain. Xinzhou City secretly attacked Yelu Anduan's grain and grass camp, and he also went to war. Li Fengyun saw that he was brave and good at fighting, and specially invited him to come together to save Zhenzhou, Yang Ye readily agreed, asked for a military order, and led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to help Guo Wei.

At this moment, seeing Zhang Ji being crazy in front of the battle, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he asked Guo Wei to go out to fight Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and his achievements are impressive, where to put Yang Ye in his eyes, he swung the axe in his left hand, wanting to knock off the bright silver gun in Yang Ye's hand, and swung the axe in his right hand to cut Yang Ye's neck.

How do you know that the left axe is about to hit the bright silver gun, suddenly a flower in front of him, the bright silver gun is gone, Zhang Ji secretly screamed badly, leaned back, hurriedly retracted the right axe to protect his chest, only to hear the sound of "ding", the bright silver gun is pierced on the axe.

Zhang Ji only felt that the breath in his chest was tumbling, and a huge dark energy was coming towards him, and then he knew that this young general was not easy to mess with. If he forcibly resisted, he was afraid that this right arm would be broken by the combined force of the axe recovery power and the dark energy surging from Yang Yeliang's silver spear.
