The Wei army had slowly retreated, and the breath of blood type permeated the valley. The team of less than 300 people was now less than fifty. Even though the Wei army killed in this battle was several times the casualties of its own, Zhang Ren still felt heartbroken. These people were all the elites among the elites in the army, but died in this meaningless war of attrition, and no matter how many Cao troops could exchange them!

In addition to the soldiers who were buried by wood and stone before, the Han army may not have suffered more casualties than Cao's army in this battle, but in Zhang Ren's opinion, he still lost this battle.

Zhou Tong had a little unwilling face, and he dragged his tired body back in disappointment. The armor on his body was so damaged that it could not be worn. The dried blood made the armor lose its original appearance.

"General Zhou, are you safe?" Zhang Ren tried hard to calm down and comforted him.

"The last general is not at hindrance." Zhou Tong shook his head, looked at the direction of the Wei army's retreat, and suddenly frowned and said, "General, look over there, is it the beacon of our army?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren looked up at the direction of the Wei army's retreat, and saw several beacon smoke rising from a distance. This was the arrangement of the Han army's beacon smoke, and the Wei army probably didn't know it yet.

This direction should be Zhang Fei's army, and he made no mistake in his judgment, but if Zhang He had discovered Zhang Fei before, how could he have the intention to come and ambush him?

Zhang Ren was puzzled, but he didn't care about too much. The army behind had not completely cleared the road. He quickly recruited a general and said, "Send the scouts to inquire! Others, help clear the road and let the soldiers behind come out!"

At present, there is definitely no way to pursue this little soldier, and it is useless to catch up. And now Zhang Ren is a little worried whether this is Zhang He's trick again. After all, Zhang He used this to trick him just now.

Of course, in such a short period of time, it is unlikely that the other party would use the same method to trick him twice. Moreover, the terrain would be wider and it would be difficult for the Wei army to ambush again, but Zhang Ren felt a little bit of a shadow.

"General, please fight!" Zhou Tong's eyes lit up when he heard a war, and he bowed quickly. The scorching and longing gaze in his eyes was a little scary. He didn't care about merits and things. He rarely took the initiative to grab merits. Otherwise, he wouldn't be just a general in recent years. What he really longed for was the experience of life and death on the battlefield. In such a tense and exciting environment, he could temporarily forget all the troubles in his heart.

"General Zhou is still injured." Frowning, Zhang Ren did not really want Zhou Tong to go to the battlefield again. With his current physical condition, going up again would be a slightest search for death.

"The injury is not hindered!" Zhou Tong shook his head and said, not letting him go to the battlefield, that would make people crazy.

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "Go to the military doctor to treat the wound first, and then change to a set of armor."

The armor is almost scrapped, and even if you go to the battlefield, you have to replace it again.

"Here!" Zhou Tong turned around and went to the doctor to treat the wound without saying a word. Zhang Ren continued to send scouts to investigate the news from the Wei army.

The news came back soon. It turned out that Zhang Fei's army arrived. Seeing that Wei Village was empty, they launched an attack directly. At that time, Zhang He was in a surprise attack and retreated his troops in the future and lured Zhang Ren to attack. When he got the news, he could not capture Zhang Ren. Who would have thought that the strategy that originally attracted Zhang Ren to the camp would actually come true.

Zhang He also found out that he could not take Zhang Ren and retreated on the way, so he rushed to rescue the camp, but he could not catch up. Instead, he was about to meet Zhang Fei leading his troops.

In fact, Zhang Ren's previous reaction made Zhang He feel suspicious. If he hadn't known that the Han army might appear in his rear, Zhang Ren would have come out to chase him. At this moment, when his rear was really brought to him by Zhang Fei, Zhang He's mood was really mixed.

The soldiers of both sides encountered in the wilderness, but the imagined fierce fighting did not occur. Before, the three hundred Han troops could not be completely captured. At this moment, facing the attack of tens of thousands of Han troops led by Zhang Fei, how could the Wei army make the opponent? The moment the battle formation was in contact with both sides, the Wei army showed a defeated statue.

The Han army was not only well-equipped, but everyone was brave enough to be the first. In contrast, although the Wei army was not defeated just now, its morale and physical strength were consumed. Although the Han army also consumed a lot of physical strength, its morale was full of momentum because it broke through the Wei army camp. In addition, the equipment gap, the melee between the two sides was almost always the Han army suppressing the Wei army and fighting.

"Children Zhang He, why don't you surrender yet?" Zhang Fei held the Snake Spear and, under the rugged voice behind the battle formation, it was still difficult to suppress his voice even on the chaotic and noisy battlefield.

Zhang He shot a Han army with one shot, and looked far away in the direction of Zhang Fei when he heard the sound. Zhang Fei, who was now white-haired, seemed particularly arrogant at this moment.

Are you so arrogant when you are old?

Zhang He looked at Zhang Fei's direction and felt unwilling. At the beginning of the Dangyang Bridge, Zhang Fei's deeds of resigning Cao's army have been circulated all over the world, and the more he spread it, it is becoming more and more exaggerated. However, Zhang Fei was indeed intimidating at that time, but that does not mean that Zhang Fei, who is now old, still has the capital.

If so, Zhang He really wanted to come forward and compete with Zhang Fei and tell him that this era no longer belongs to him!

However, he had no chance. The ferociousness of the Han army was far beyond Zhang He's expectations. Since the war started, he has always been fighting with the Wei army. If Zhang He really rushed forward at this moment, he might have been dismembered by the countless Han army before he got close to Zhang Fei.

Although Zhang He has good martial arts skills, he is not the kind of person who can take the heads of thousands of troops from it. Seeing that the army is retreating step by step and is about to be defeated, Zhang He can only run away.

There is still a Zhang Ren who may come at any time in the rear. If Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren are attacked from the front and back, Zhang He will be unable to escape.

"Don't leave Zhang He, come and fight me for 300 rounds!" Seeing Zhang He begin to withdraw his troops, Zhang Fei couldn't help but laugh proudly. This time, it was not just Zhang He's victory. Zhang He's troops completely collapsed, which means that the main force of the Cao army in the Anding area was gone. The entire Guanzhong area was like a woman stripped naked, letting herself gallop!

A ring-eyed thief!

Zhang He did not look back, but just cursed in his heart that the 30,000 army was damaged one after another and the camp was even more damaged. How many can it be left now?

In this way, there may not be many troops that can be mobilized in the entire Guanzhong.

Now Zhang He is more worried about the situation in Guanzhong. His own defeat is equivalent to causing Zhang Fei to lose his restraint. The soldiers and horses in Shu can pour into Guanzhong in large numbers. How can they defend this?

Zhang Fei led his troops and horses to chase and kill for more than ten miles. He led the crowd back and arranged for the troops to clean up the battlefield. At the same time, Zhang Ren also brought Zhou Tong to see Zhang Fei.

"The general is ashamed of being a thief general. Please punish him!" Zhang Ren bowed to Zhang Fei and said bitterly.

"No need to do this." Zhang Fei touched the steel needle-like beard under his jaw, shook his head and smiled: "Zhang He has some skills, and Besides, he is not wrong. If you hadn't dragged Zhang He's troops, how could I break the camp so easily?"

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Ren bowed.

"I want to lead my army to Chen Cang and fight with Cao Zhen, but I can't lose it in the rear. You can draw 15,000 troops to continue to attack the city here, Anding, Jincheng, and Longxi, fight as much as you can, and I will transfer the others away!" Zhang Fei stood up and said.

"The general is leaving now?" Zhang Ren looked at Zhang Fei in surprise and said.

"Soldiers are very fast. Before the Wei army reinforcements arrived, I should take down Guanzhong as soon as possible. We have been delaying here for too long. We should not delay any further. If it is late, it will change!" Zhang Fei laughed.

This decision was not just because of this, but after leaving Sichuan, Zhang Fei gradually discovered the gap between the Han army and the Cao army. If it was six years ago, the Han army and the Cao army could still have an offensive and defensive position and remain equal. However, after leaving Sichuan this time, Zhang Fei gradually discovered that with the continuous innovation of the Han army's equipment over the years, the combat effectiveness of the army has gradually increased with the Cao army.

Take this for example. Zhang Fei actually brought only 20,000 troops to attack the camp. Pang Tong and his army were still walking behind, but the seemingly solid camp seemed vulnerable to the Han army. In the past six years, there was nothing in his own family, but now he fought with the Wei army again six years later, the gap in combat power has become quite obvious. The crushing feeling made Zhang Fei more confident in sending troops to Guanzhong. The Cao army, which chased the three brothers, seemed to be not as powerful as before.

Zhang Fei knew very well that this was not that Cao's army had become weaker, but that the Han army was constantly becoming stronger during the rest of the years. In the early years, only the equipment that generals or elite soldiers could wear were now eliminated and replaced by ordinary soldiers. The equipment produced by Tiangongfang in recent years is obviously more than one level higher than that year. Zhang Fei felt that they could defeat Guanzhong and even Luoyang with just equipment.

Even a feeling in my heart that even if I send troops to attack the Central Plains at this time, I may not be unable to win.

Of course, this is an illusion, not a problem of the war itself. The strength of the Han army is obvious to all. The most important thing is the lack of manpower and material resources. Now, there are only more than 200,000 troops that can be used in Jing and Shu.

If you take Guanzhong or even Luoyang, these troops are naturally sufficient and your logistics can keep up. However, if you want to go further, the supply line will be lengthened and there will be insufficient food, which will limit the development of the Han army. Therefore, this battle will be stopped in Luoyang at most.

But there is no doubt that the Han army is now powerful. When the tracks are laid in Guanzhong and Luoyang, the transportation of materials is more convenient, it will be time to send troops to encroach on the world. In my lifetime, I may be able to see the unification of the world.

Zhang Ren naturally didn't know what Zhang Fei thought. After smiling and nodding, he returned to the camp and left behind the 15,000 troops that Zhang Fei gave him to continue guarding Jieting, preparing to embezzle the land of Xiliang. Others were taken to Zhang Fei. Guanzhong was the core of this battle!
