Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

The infantry behind Zhao Yun was the team led by Chen Yang.

Chen Yang can probably judge how difficult it would be for Huang Zhong to guard Hanzhong during the time he left Fancheng, so he can handle the affairs of Xiangyang well and come back as soon as possible.

It's just that he stayed one more night in Xiangyang for Sun Shangxiang. He didn't expect that when he rushed back to Hanzhong, he would see the scene of the city gate being breached and Huang Zhong being besieged.

"Here we come, the general is finally here."

Huang Zhong shouted, he didn't know where the strength came from, he tried his best to kill an enemy soldier, and said: "Welcome to the general!"

There were not many remaining soldiers, and they instantly rejuvenated, surrounded Huang Zhong, and then attacked.

The cavalry led by Zhao Yun rushed into the Shu army, and their iron hooves trampled on the ground, making a loud sound.

Ma Chao knew that something was wrong. If Chen Yang came back, he would fail again today, and immediately attacked Huang Zhong. He wanted to kill Huang Zhong before Zhao Yun came up.

Huang Zhong's current state could not stop Ma Chao at all, he raised his weapon reluctantly to fight back, but was hit on the ground again.

Ma Chao was about to give Huang Zhong the final blow, when he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and the hidden crisis came quietly. He turned around and swung his spear to sweep across, only to see a figure dodge slightly, and after dodging the spear, he walked around him It fell beside Huang Zhong.

"Old general, come with me!"

That figure was Ya Ruo, supporting Huang Zhong, protecting him and leading the remaining soldiers, ready to fight out.

She followed Zhao Yun's cavalry, saw that Huang Zhong was in danger, abandoned her horse and approached with her agility, and lurked behind Ma Chao, just at this moment she struck and dragged Huang Zhong out of death.

Ma Chao couldn't let it go, and he wanted to chase them again.

"Ya Ruo, take the old general first!"

Tara's voice sounded from behind Ma Chao.

Once again, Ma Chao felt that the danger was coming, he had to turn around to block it, but saw the blade of a saber approaching him.

clang!

The knife and the gun collided together, and the sound was very loud.

The two had just fought, and Tara felt a dull pain in her arm. The opponent's strength was too great, but she endured the pain and swung a knife to block Ma Chao's way of chasing and killing Huang Zhong.

Zhao Yun rode his horse to Ma Chao's side, picked up the silver spear thrown out just now, and lightly picked it up, and several of the Shu soldiers who were close to him were sent flying by him.

The rest of the cavalry cavalry of the Cao army rushed in one after another, and the infantry behind quickly spread out, covering the Shu army in a semicircle.

Chen Yang followed the infantry and also entered the army. The crushing fighting situation of the Shu army just now was strongly reversed by them.

"Meng Qi, this way!"

Next to the gate of Hanzhong, Liu Feng led his troops to meet him.

The city gate was breached, and Zhuge Liang immediately occupied the inside. As soon as he settled down, he saw Cao Jun's reinforcements from outside the city, and immediately sent Liu Feng to bring Ma Chao in.

Ma Chao took one last look at Huang Zhong's direction, and could only give up the pursuit. He was no longer so eager to kill Huang Zhong, and retreated to Hanzhong City first.

With the gate closed, Hanzhong did not belong to Chen Yang's territory at all, and Cao Jun outside the city was also isolated.

"Old general! Come here, take the old general down for treatment."

When Chen Yang came to the city, he also saw Huang Zhong who was exhausted, covered in blood, and the horrible wound.

The moment Huang Zhong saw Chen Yang, he felt relieved, and then passed out. The doctor in the army rushed over immediately and took him down for treatment.

"Retreat five miles and set up camp."

Seeing that Hanzhong was lost, Chen Yang was not in a hurry to attack the city, nor was he in a hurry to take back Hanzhong first.

If he could have come back one night earlier, perhaps this scene would not have happened, and it would be useless to regret it now.

It was not until that night that Huang Zhong woke up. He was in a daze for a while, and then asked to see Chen Yang.

"Old General, are you all right?"

Chen Yang asked nervously: "During this time, I have worked hard for you. It was my negligence and poor consideration that caused this."

"I can't die, and I can't imagine that I can survive."

Huang Zhong wanted to laugh, but the laughter seemed weak again, and he continued: "Unfortunately, I am not yet Zhuge Liang's opponent. He defeated me by tricks in the first battle. Although I won the second battle, but in the third At the beginning of the war, his method of attacking the city made me hard to defend. Until two days ago, the soldiers in the city were completely exhausted. He no longer used tricks, but attacked hard, and we couldn't stop it. In the end, the general you see It's here."

Chen Yang said gratefully: "The old general can completely abandon the city and escape."

Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "I know how important Hanzhong is to the great Han. If I abandon the city and run away, I will lose Hanzhong. It will be difficult for us to shake Shuzhong again. Although Hanzhong is still lost now, I can at least delay Zhuge Liang. When you come back, General, the consequences will not be too serious."

Hanzhong's strategic location is indeed very important. Without Hanzhong, Jiameng Pass, Jiange, Wakou Pass and other places must retreat.

If you don't retreat, Zhuge Liang may make dumplings. Those who guard there, even if they can hold the pass, will be trapped to death in the end.

Without Jiange and other places, Chen Yang's previous efforts would be in vain, and it would be even more difficult to attack Shuzhong.

Huang Zhong was about to say something, but there was a burst of drumming outside.

Chen Yang immediately went out to have a look, but saw a large torch lit outside the barracks, and thousands of Shu troops came out of the city to beat gongs and drums, approaching Cao Ying, but strangely, they did not attack.

As the Shu army approached, the voice seemed to ring in my ears.

Cao Jun only thought that someone was going to attack the camp, so they immediately put on their battle armor, picked up weapons, stood beside the gate, waiting for orders, and rushed out at any time.

"General, the enemy is coming to attack the camp."

Cao Fu said nervously: "I would like to be the vanguard and kill the enemy first."

They came from a long distance without any rest. If they attacked the camp at night, they would be in bad condition and dangerous.

"If the enemy is an incoming battalion, they won't beat the gongs and drums and notify us in advance." Chen Yang said.

"Then what is their purpose in doing this?" Tara asked puzzled.

"It's about disturbing us," Zhao Yun said.

"Zilong is right. Zhuge Liang is very cautious. Even if he knew that we had come from a long distance and the soldiers were tired, because he was afraid of me and didn't dare to attack rashly, he used this method to disturb us and stimulate our nerves."

Chen Yang said: "The gongs and drums are shaking outside, can we sleep well?"

Cao Fan shook his head and said, "Who can sleep here?"

Chen Yang continued: "Exactly, our people will be even more tired tomorrow. The enemy is gathering outside, even if we can overcome the noise and sleep, we still feel uneasy. Who dares to sleep? No one can guarantee that the enemy will not attack."

I can't sleep well at night, and I don't have much energy during the day. There is no way to fight this battle.

"General, I can really fight and kill them all." Cao Fu said.

"If we go out to fight now, there will be an ambush outside, how can Zhuge Liang not be on guard?" Ya Ruo said the crisis hidden in the dark.

"Yes, the best way to deal with it is to ignore it."

Chen Yang endured the voice, and said: "Leave 200 people to defend, and pay attention to their movements. Others use the woven shells on their clothes to cover their ears, so that the sound will be quieter. I will deal with it tonight, and then I will find a way."

This is the only thing that can be done now.

Chen Yang didn't believe that they could knock for one night.
