Chapter 806

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers and horses of the two routes besieging the southeast of Chencang drew up their camps, and Ximen's army also weakened their offensive.

Liu Beijun's abnormal behavior made Chen Cang's defenders suspicious immediately. Zhang Yun climbed up the tower to watch, and he saw Liu Bei's army leave.

"Could this be Fa-rectification's plan?" Zhang He must be talking to himself.

General Wang Sheng then said: "It is rumored that Chang'an has been captured by Wei Yan. Yesterday evening I inspected the east wall and found reinforcements coming from the east. The banner with the Wei name on it should be Wei Yan's army."

Zhang Yun squinted his eyes, "Liu Bei has already besieged the city on three sides, could it be that Fazheng deliberately sent troops back and forth?"

"That shouldn't be it? Liu Bei's army outside the city can be seen, the soldiers and horses yesterday must not be the original ones, but it is unbelievable that Chang'an was captured." Wang Sheng shook his head.

On the contrary, Zhang Yun felt that nothing was impossible. If Wei Yan really appeared behind him, it would be normal for Xia Houmao to be unable to defend him. It's just that Liu Beijun's current actions are too suspicious.

"The troops from the southeast and southeast were withdrawn, leaving more than [-] people at the west gate. Liu Bei wanted to lure me to attack the rear, and use the army outside the west gate to capture the city?" Zhang Yun fell into deep thought.

"General, what should we do?" Wang Sheng asked.

"I can only wait for a while." Zhang He left with a flick of his sleeves.

Liu Bei's soldiers had just withdrawn, and the pressure on Chen Cang's city defense dropped sharply. Zhang He walked down the city wall with doubts, and received a secret report from scouts on the way back to the government office.

Xia Houmao really lost the city?Zhang He was so shocked that his scalp was numb. Shangyu in the west was controlled by Zhang Fei, and Chang'an in the east fell into the hands of Liu Bei. Now Chencang has become an isolated city. The food, grass, bows and arrows and other materials in the city will be consumed less, and it will be impossible to transport them in the future. No wonder Liu Bei didn't continue to attack the city, because it was really unnecessary.

Zhang He urgently summoned the guards in the city to discuss the matter, informed everyone of the problems Chencang was facing, and planned to cross the river from the city's north wharf as soon as possible, and then go to Longshan Road to meet Cao Zhen.

Zhang Xi's proposal was approved by everyone, but the only problem was that there were only a limited number of boats on the pier, and the tens of thousands of remaining defenders in Chencang had to go back and forth at least ten times to evacuate. something that must be faced.

"Wu Yi and Yan Yan are stationed in the west of Chencang. Although Liu Bei is leading an army to Chang'an, I am worried that Fazheng will also leave an ambush to watch over him. Once we start crossing the river in the north of the city, soldiers from the east and west will come out together. To successfully cross the Wei River, people need to be restrained on both sides of the east and west."

Although Zhang Xi's voice was not loud, Chen Cang's guard heard it clearly, but no one was willing to shoulder the burden bravely.

Seeing Zhang He looking at him, Wang Sheng's eyes seemed to represent a general. Instead of being deliberately arranged by Zhang He, Wang Sheng took the initiative to ask for help: "The final general is willing to take people to the east to fortify, resist Liu Bei's main force and return, and cover the main force in the city. cross the river."

"Although there are many soldiers and horses in the west of the city, they are all in the clear. The east of the city may not be without danger." Seeing that Wang Sheng deliberately picked the east side, Zhang He pointed out the dangers in the east side to him. He knew that Fazheng would definitely stay behind. .

"Don't worry, general, you will not be afraid of the last general." Wang Sheng clasped his fists sonorously.

"Forget it, then I'll go to the west of the city to check and arrange to cross the river tomorrow morning." Zhang He shook his head and sighed, and waved his big hand to dismantle the tent.

At dawn the next day, the east, west, north, and north gates of Chencang opened together, and the soldiers and horses of the three groups each had their own tasks.

Zhang He brought hundreds of personal guards to fight in front of Wu Yi's camp at the west gate of Chen Cang. This behavior made the camp generals very puzzled, after all, it was the first time Zhang He took the initiative.

"Your Majesty's main force has already left for Chang'an. The military adviser told us to stick to this place. Zhang Yun will take the initiative to attack. Could there be some conspiracy? There should be quite a few defenders in the city." Wu Yi frowned and stroked his beard.

"Whether he has a conspiracy or not, the soldiers come to cover up the water and the soil, just gather the soldiers and horses to repel them." Yan Yan said, patting his chest.

"Alright, even if Zhang Yun has a conspiracy, as long as he doesn't pursue him, he won't fall for it. The battalions are ordered not to act rashly, and we will wait until I leave the camp to see the situation." Wu Yi instructed Zhang Yi.

"The last general will pass the message immediately." Zhang Yi clasped his fists and went out of the tent.

"Report, Zhang He is lining up in front of the battalion, and wants to invite us to fight." The guard outside the account hurriedly reported.

Wu Yi snorted coldly: "Hmph, we have a large number of people now, who will fight against that timid person?"

Yan Yan clasped his fists in his hands and said, "The invitation to fight is not good, because it will hinder morale, and the general will finally ask to fight."

"Zhang He, the famous general of Wei, the general is very old now, if there is a mistake, how can I tell the king? If there is really a fight, I will go to meet the enemy in person." Wu Yi shook his head and refused.

"Ziyuan is the main general, how can he move lightly? General Huang is three years older than me, and he is still charging in front of the king. If I really can't fight, I will definitely lead my horse back to the formation." Yan Yan didn't hold back.

"Okay then, don't force it," Wu Yi urged.

"Ziyuan don't worry." Yan Yan tidied up her cloak and left the big tent.

The two armies lined up solemnly. Wu Yifang was as majestic as a mountain because of his large number of people. On the other hand, Zhang Yun only had a few hundred horsemen, so he looked shabby in the battle, and the clamor and shouts were completely overwhelmed.

Zhang Xi dared to go out to fight because he had done his homework in advance. If Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were here, he would definitely not be so reckless.

After seeing Yan Yan's appearance, Zhang Xi couldn't help sighing: "Old guy, I think you're almost buried in the ground, so why don't you pretend to be Huang Zhong for me here? Go and fight with someone else."

"You idiot, dare to mention General Zhengxi (Huang Zhong)? I remember you were in Dingjun Mountain back then, did you forget Xia Houyuan?" Yan Yan replied sharply.

Zhang Yun's purpose today is to delay time. He had fought Yan Yan in Dangqu before, and he probably knew the level of martial arts of the other party.

"Old Yan Yan, since you want to die, I'll give you a ride." Seeing that the opponent was determined, Zhang Yun rode his horse and drew his gun to fight.

"Mr. Zhang He, die." Yan Yan put his legs between the horse's belly and raised his knife to meet him.

Zhang Yun didn't try his best at the beginning, so he fought back and forth with Yan Yan, thinking that he just used this old guy to delay time.

Although Yan Yan is not weak in martial arts, there is still some gap between him and Zhang Yun. He lost two battles in Dangqu that year. Today, he found that Zhang Yun's martial arts had 'declined'. Thinking that Zhang Yun is almost sixty years old, it is normal for martial arts to decline in old age. , Not everyone is Huang Zhong, Yan Yan has a competitive heart at this moment.

Seeing Yan Yan's "middle plan" fighting fiercely with the opponent, Zhang He attracted the morale of Wu Yi's lieutenants. They very much hoped that there would be a Huang Zhong figure in Shu, and if they could kill the general Zhang He in Chencang, Liu Bei might give him one too. Heavy General?

After more than fifty rounds of fighting, both sides were already dripping with sweat, Zhang Yun retained some of his strength, and Yan Yan was on the verge of exhaustion.

"Your and my horses are already tired, how dare you wait for the general to return to the city to change horses?" Zhang Yun saw that the time was almost up, and it was a good time to take the opportunity to slip away.

Yan Yan waved his hand: "Hurry up and change the horse, the old man will wait for you."
