"It's really that Guan Yu?" In the prefect's palace, Zhang Lu's face had not looked good in the past two days, and he frowned at Zhang Wei.

"Brother, it's that Guan Yu." Zhang Wei said in a terrified state.

"Well, Guan Yu is indeed as brave as the legend?" Zhang Lu asked hurriedly.

"This..." Zhang Wei said ashamed: "Today, Guan Yu did not leave the camp, but just stood at the gate and watched, sent an old soldier out and killed three generals of our army and dozens of soldiers."

"An old man has such ability?" Zhang Lu said disbelief.

"That old soldier is not only very skilled in martial arts, but no one of the three generals is his enemy. He is also very good at archery. He can shoot my handsome flag with one arrow in two hundred steps!" Zhang Wei said with a somewhat ugly expression. After all, this is not a glorious thing, and Huang Zhong's power of one arrow at that time is still cold in his heart when he thinks about it.

"What should I do?" Zhang Lu sighed and said worriedly. Yang Ren's army would not come back for a while. At the earliest, it would have to wait until tomorrow. Guan Yu's troops were at the city. Although they were just vanguards, the scouts heard news that ships were constantly transporting troops here. Can the five thousand defenders in Nanzheng City withstand the fierce attack of Liu Bei's army?

"Shijun." Yang Song, who was standing beside him, suddenly said: "Liu Bei has been planning for a long time. Now Nan Zheng is empty and cannot compete with him. It is better to retreat to Baozhong and join the army of General Yang Ren. You can also send someone to Guanzhong to persuade Ma Chao to come with him. Ma Chao is brave. If he can invite him, why should he be afraid of Guan Yu?"

"No!" Zhang Wei frowned and said, "At present, it is just Guan Yu's vanguard, with only a few thousand people. The city of Nanzheng is strong, why not be afraid of Guan Yu? After Yang Ren led his army back, even if Liu Bei's army came, our army would not be afraid of him! Nanzheng was the Hanzhong District. If it was to be given up, most of this Hanzhong would be lost!"

Yan Pu also nodded and said, "No, but I'll order someone to persuade Ma Chao to come and fight against Liu Bei!"

Zhang Lu nodded silently when he heard this. After all, although Nan Zheng is empty now, there are still five thousand soldiers. No matter how powerful Guan Yu is, thousands of people cannot come in one day. He nodded and said, "People can quickly arrange defense and order people to go to Mianyang, urging Yang Ren to return to the army quickly, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Here!" Zhang Wei agreed, turned around and arranged defense, and sent someone to urge Yang Ren to return to the army quickly.

On the other side, Mianyang.

In the pale sky, the entire Mianyang was trapped in the sound of fighting.

Wei Yan kicked a Hanzhong soldier out with one kick, and killed the Hanzhong soldier who wanted to sneak attack him with one hand. The knife in his hand was already a little curled. From morning to now, this knife has killed countless enemies, but the Hanzhong army kept climbing up along the ladder as if endlessly. Wei Yan already felt like he was unable to do so.

There were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and Wei Yan's heart was bleeding. These were all elite soldiers brought from Jingzhou. Over the past few months, they had already developed a deep relationship. Now they died in front of them one by one, but they were powerless.

When the war reached this point, no strange plan was useful. The rest was just the most primitive killing. Whoever could hold on to the end would be the winner today. As for tomorrow, Wei Yan had no time to consider it.

"Puff~"

A long sword cut through Wei Yan's armor. The damaged armor did not completely block it. A wound appeared on his shoulder. Wei Yan gritted his teeth and turned around and killed the Hanzhong soldiers who had attacked him with one sword.

Roar ~

An angry roar was particularly harsh in the chaotic fighting. Wei Yan subconsciously turned his head to look, and was seeing that his deputy general's body had been pierced by two spears. Seeing that he could not survive, he roared and pushed three Hanzhong soldiers to rush under the city wall.

Wei Yan's eyes were so angry that he roared, and swung his sword to kill the two Hanzhong soldiers. He wanted to pull the people back, but there was no time. The deputy general roared, grabbed the two enemies tightly, let the other party kicked, and rushed to the female wall with the other party, burst out his last strength and jumped under the city wall with the three enemies.

The city wall is not high, so I don’t know whether the other party will die, but it is impossible for the deputy general to survive.

Without caring about his grief and anger, Wei Yan wandered on the city wall and kept rescuing his soldiers who were trapped in entanglement. The sword with the rolled blade could no longer be used. Wei Yan snatched one from the enemy, but it was far from the same as before.

If you survive this battle, you must find a better knife to find a gentleman!

I began to think about it in my heart. Until now, my physical strength has been exhausted, and I probably can't hold on to this city anymore!

Wei Yan laughed bitterly, but in the distance, the sound of gold sounds faintly came, which made Wei Yan's mind clear. He saw that the enemy troops that had been surging before were quickly retreating. The soldiers guarding the city took the opportunity to kill some, but most of them were roaring excitedly like a survivor after the disaster.

After a soldier roared, he fell to the ground with a thud and never got up again. Wei Yan silently leaned against the enemy building, looked at the Hanzhong soldiers who were quickly retreating, and turned around. There were not many people standing on the entire city wall. If the other party attacked again, the city would probably be broken!

Leave it to fate, I have tried my best.

Wei Yan sighed and closed his eyes silently. He was too tired.

However, until the evening, the enemy's attack did not launch again.

"General, look!" Just as Wei Yan was about to pack up and collect some arrow clusters to prepare for tomorrow's battle, a soldier suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted excitedly: "The enemy has retreated!"

What?

Wei Yan was stunned when he heard this, and quickly turned his head to look. He saw Yang Ren's army decapitating the camp, and the large army had already begun to withdraw.

Something happened to Nanzheng?

Wei Yan was not so excited. Yang Ren retreated at this time. It must be something happened to Nan Zheng. But did Liu Bei be able to defeat Nan Zheng?

"Hurry up, gather troops and don't let them leave like this!" Wei Yan gritted his teeth. He didn't know what was going on over there, but at this time, it would be better to be able to buy some time for Liu Bei.

"General, now our army has less than 300 people, and everyone is injured. I'm afraid..." the soldier said in a stern voice.

Wei Yan's heart was pulled out fiercely, three thousand people!

Turning his head and looking around, most of the corpses in the city walls were from enemies, but there were only dozens of brothers around him left at this moment.

After sighing deeply, Wei Yan sat down with some weakness against the female wall, turned his head to look at the general and said, "Let me rest, go to the city to order the people to come and clean up the battlefield, and ask the doctor to help the brothers heal their wounds. The battle is over."

Wei Yan said the last four words with gritted his teeth, and he also hoped to make more contributions, but in the current situation, he really couldn't bear to let these brothers who had just survived the disaster and were still injured and followed him to fight hard.

"Here, General!" The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Wei Yan.

Thank you? What are you thanking?

Wei Yan sat by the female wall, closed his eyes, and felt an indescribable sense of depression in his heart.

The personal guards came back with the soldiers who had gone to ask for help and bowed to Wei Yan.

"Has the lord ever captured Nanzheng?" Seeing this person, Wei Yan laughed. No matter what, Yang Ren withdraws his troops, and Nanzheng must have fought.

"Sir, the lord's army will not arrive at least ten days." The guard shook his head and said, "Now, there are only five hundred people brought by the lord in the Nanzheng area."

"Five...500!" Wei Yan's eyes widened and looked at the other party incredibly and said, "Why did Yang Ren withdraw his troops?"

"This... I don't know about the humble position." The guard shook his head. When he left, Liu Yi had not yet come up with a way to save Wei Yan.

"What are the instructions that sir?" Wei Yan asked hurriedly.

"Sir, if things cannot be done, please break through the siege, and only by living can you achieve success." The guard bowed and said.

"Ha~" Wei Yan closed his eyes again weakly. Without asking, he could probably guess that Liu Yi bluffed and asked Zhang Lu to transfer the army back. He rushed all the way. It seemed that he had arrived too early. But he had been struggling to defend Mianyang these days, and the three thousand brothers were not even left. What was the purpose of?

Apart from smiling bitterly at this moment, Wei Yan didn't know how to express his mood at this moment.

I owe my husband a life!

Wei Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. If Liu Yi hadn't bluffed over there, he would probably not have survived today.

...

"Sir, Nan Zhengcheng began to strengthen his garrison. It seems that he wanted to stick to it." Huang Zhong walked in and bowed to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi nodded. Sure enough, it was hard to scare Zhang Lu off. It was a pity that such a good opportunity.

"Forget it, at least it's considered to have saved Wen Chang." Liu Yi smiled, not too frustrated. It would be nice for five hundred people to achieve this level: "Since that's the case, then expand the camp and prepare to welcome the lord. In addition, send the ship out every day, put the straw men into the cabin when leaving, and place the straw men when coming back, don't let Zhang Lu be suspicious."

If Zhang Lu knew that there were only 500 people here, he might have sent a large army to encircle and suppress him directly. At that time, he would have to leave in shame.

"Don't worry, sir, you're ready." Guan Ping, who was standing beside him, smiled.

"Send someone to inform Wen Chang that Mianyang has no meaning to our army anymore. See if there is a chance to take down Yangping Pass and block Zhang Lu's retreat." Liu Yi thought for a while and said.

Originally, Wei Yan was sent to attack Mianyang with the idea of ​​striking the world. Now it seems that it has failed, and it is useless to continue to stay in Mianyang. I heard that Zhang Lu still has 10,000 troops in Guanzhong and has not returned yet. If he can take down Yangping Pass and regard Zhang Lu's troops outside the pass, he can also reduce some pressure. After all, Liu Bei's troops are not too many. It can make the opponent less troops, so his own chances of victory will naturally be greater.

"Here!"

"Send someone to notify the lord that the plan has failed. Let's discuss with Liu Zhang to see if he can get 30,000 or 50,000 troops from Liu Zhang." Liu Yi suddenly smiled and said, "It is not necessarily a bad thing that the failure of the surprise attack may be. At least he can ask Liu Zhang for people and food in a legitimate way."

Well……
Chapter completed!
