Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Just then, the neighing of war horses rang out around the woods.

Immediately afterwards, the two saw Zhang Liao and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun rushing over from the surroundings.

When they saw Zhang Liao appear, they suddenly became panicked.

Although they said they were not afraid, if they really saw Zhang Liao standing in front of them, it would be a lie to say they were not afraid.

The two men looked at each other, encouraged each other, and then swung their weapons to meet the Yellow Dragon Sickle Hook Knife in Zhang Liao's hand.

However, at the moment when the weapons of both sides collided.

Both of them felt Zhang Liao's powerful strength. Although it was two against one, they both felt that their knuckles had been cracked by the collision.

Zhang Liao retracted the Yellow Dragon Scythe Hook Knife, gathered his strength, and was about to attack the two men, but he found that the two men just ran away without any intention of fighting with him.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao quickly chased after him.

The 15,000-strong alien army, without a commander, was completely a pile of loose sand.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun charged back and forth in the alien army formation, and in just an incense stick of time, the entire army formation was riddled with holes.

The two men saw that the army formation was in chaos and it was basically impossible to reunite. Finally, the two men gave up and immediately led their men to run towards Guangxin City.

Zhang Liao led the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun and chased them for a while. When he was sure that they would not turn back, he gave up the pursuit.

After sending the grain and fodder back, Zhang Liao discovered that there were only 600 of his Eighteen Riders of Yanyun left. The rest were either killed or transporting grain, and the rest were dispersed.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are light cavalry. Speed ​​is their advantage, but their combat effectiveness is somewhat inferior to that of the Iron Pagoda's heavy cavalry.

Even with his 600 men, the 18 Riders of Yanyun, Zhang Liao was not very confident that he could seize Liu Zhang's third wave of food and supplies.

Liu Gui and Ling Bao did not stop along the way, fearing that Zhang Liao would catch up with them, and finally ran into the city.

When Liu Zhang saw the two men coming back, he knew that his food and grass were gone again, and that the more than 10,000 people were deliberately left there.

"You two losers, you still have the nerve to come back."

Liu Zhang was somewhat unsatisfied and started cursing at the two men. The two men knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Surena saw that the time was ripe and stepped forward immediately.

"King, their two generals led nearly 20,000 people, but were beaten back by more than a thousand people, and they also lost their food and grass. My lord, you have to make a decision on this matter. Otherwise, if everyone in the army is like this in the future, what should we do?"

"Surena, you are talking nonsense. We just failed once, and you want to attack us? You have fought with Liu Bei so many times and failed every time. Wouldn't you just commit suicide to apologize?"

Hearing this, Surena said nothing, but looked at Liu Zhang quietly.

Ling Bao stepped forward immediately.

"My lord, Surena has failed so many times. I ask you to punish Surena and make him commit suicide."

"Okay, what are you guys arguing about? I've already made up my mind about this matter, let's just forget about it."

When Surena heard Liu Zhang's words, he sighed helplessly. He could see where Liu Zhang would be defeated in the end.

"Now that Zhang Liao is so rampant, do you have any ideas to deal with him?"

Hearing this, Li Yan and others fell silent for a moment.

They didn't even dare to think about getting rid of Zhang Liao.

Not to mention them, even Sun Jian and everyone else had no way to deal with Zhang Liao.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Zhang could only focus his eyes on Surena.

"Surena, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing this, Surena sighed and hesitated for a moment.

"King, our individual combat strength is definitely not as good as Zhang Liao's, but we also have our advantages, that is, people. We have stationed 60,000 troops in the city, and we have three famous generals. After this period of consumption, Zhang Liao must not have many soldiers at his disposal. Why can't we take action, find Zhang Liao, and finally surround them completely."

Liu Zhang nodded. He knew that their biggest advantage against Zhang Liao was their numbers. If they couldn't gain an advantage in numbers, then they would be completely finished.

Soon, under Surena's command, 60,000 troops slowly left the city and began a full-scale search outside the city.

Deep in a dense forest.

Zhang Liao took the last 600 men and hid in the woods, eating the dry food they brought with them.

"General, according to our spies, Liu Zhang's army is still half a day away from us. What should we do?"

"What are you afraid of? Back then, I defeated 100,000 troops of the Eastern Wu with only 500 men. Now there are only 60,000 men. We can just defeat them."

Zhang Liao could see that all of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun present had some fear in their eyes, so he said this on purpose.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun who were around were all veterans in the army. Naturally, they had all heard of Zhang Liao's legendary deeds and were very convinced by Zhang Liao's words.

However, as to whether Zhang Liao was worried or not, he was somewhat worried about this battle because they were trapped deep in the dense forest.

Zhang Liao did not expect that Liu Zhang was so courageous that he actually dared to send a large army to encircle and suppress him.

They were stationed here deep inside, on the one hand to hide, and on the other hand to be ready to act at any time.

But this time, they were blocked in the woods. The terrain of the woods was very unfavorable for Zhang Liao and his men's actions, and greatly suppressed the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

However, Zhang Liao knew that he had to fight no matter what.

"Everyone follow me."

Zhang Liao led everyone and slowly walked out of the woods.

However, just after taking a few steps, they saw a group of alien spies appearing around them.

When these people saw Zhang Liao and his men, they fired flares and then turned and ran.

This was what Surena had told them before they set out: once they saw Zhang Liao, they should fire a flare arrow and turn around and run, and not fight with Zhang Liao.

Surena's method was very useful to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao was forced to attack them.

After all, these people already know their location. If they let them go, they will come with a large army in no time.

However, they were extremely fast, shuttling back and forth in the dense forest.

By the time Zhang Liao caught up with them, a lot of time had been wasted.

After dealing with this group of people, Zhang Liao looked around.

The woods are not suitable for cavalry combat, but are very suitable for ambushes. Since you can't run away, you might as well use your current environment to set an ambush. Maybe you can escape during the chaos.

When Li Yan and his companions saw the location of the signal arrows, they immediately sped up their journey.

When they arrived around the flare, all they saw were the bodies of a few spies on the ground.

"Everyone be careful around you."

Li Yan immediately realized that something was wrong and began to search the woods carefully with everyone.

A captain and his men were on patrol.

An arrow flew out directly.

The leading centurion was shot directly in the head and fell straight to the ground.

When the people around saw this situation, they immediately became panicked.

"Enemy attack."

As the voice fell, everyone took out their weapons and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, Zhang Liao also rushed out with everyone.

Six hundred people against one thousand. Although the number is not enough to launch a desperate battle, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are a special type of soldiers. Even if they are not riding horses, their combat effectiveness is unmatched by other soldiers.

It didn't take long for the thousand men to be eliminated by Zhang Liao's six hundred men.

Before the enemy's support arrived, Zhang Liao and his men quickly left here.

Not long after Zhang Liao and his men left, several captains arrived with thousands of men, but all they saw were corpses on the ground.

Zhang Liao then did the same thing in different places in the encirclement.

Everyone was confused by Zhang Liao and had no idea where he was planning to break out.

Surena was outside the woods, looking at the reports from various places in his hands. He had a feeling that Zhang Liao definitely had a reason for doing this.

There were three gaps in the forest, and Zhang Liao was already at the three gaps, making some noises at each of them. The only place where there was no noise was where he was.

Surena speculated that this would be Zhang Liao's final breakthrough point.

Then Surena immediately ordered the camp to strengthen its defense, and ordered Ling Bao to bring back 10,000 troops for reinforcement.

When Ling Bao heard that they were going to reinforce Surena, he was still a little resentful about Surena's previous advice to Liu Zhang to punish them, so he deliberately slowed down the pace of reinforcement.

Surena's guess was correct. Zhang Liao's final breakout target was exactly the exit where he was.

Not long after the arrangements were made, Surena looked into the distance and never received Ling Bao's reinforcements. Instead, he saw Zhang Liao rushing towards them with hundreds of people.

"Zhang Liao, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

As the voice fell, Surena waved his hand.

A tripwire suddenly appeared on the ground.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, who were rushing in the front, were tripped by the sudden appearance of the lasso.

Just as those people were about to stand up, they were stabbed to death by the foreign soldiers who rushed over.

Zhang Liao led his men to rush over and killed all the soldiers.

Looking at the dozen corpses on the ground, Zhang Liao had no time to be sad. He led the remaining people to rush towards Surena.

"Marshal, General Ling Bao's reinforcements have not arrived yet."

"What? What is Lingbao used for?"

Surena didn't expect that he didn't lose to outsiders, but to his own people.

It didn't take long for Zhang Liao to rush into Surena's camp.

But Surena was no longer there.

When he learned that Ling Bao's men had not arrived yet, Surena sighed, turned around and ran away with his confidants, leaving only some cannon fodder to stop Zhang Liao.

Halfway through the retreat, Surena happened to see Ling Bao, who was approaching at a leisurely pace.

"Hey! Isn't this our Grand Marshal Surena? Why are you here? You are deserting your post. If I tell my lord, what crime will you be charged with?"

"Hmph, General Ling Bao, you are at a place where my camp can be reached in a stick of incense at most, but it took you half an hour. Can you explain to me what happened?"

"We were halfway there and got lost."

"Lost? You can reach a place in one stick of incense, but you got lost and didn't arrive for half an hour? Do you know that it was because of your delay that Zhang Liao broke through my camp and has now escaped."

"Grand Marshal, you can't blame me for this, right? I didn't want to get lost."

Ling Bao didn't expect that there would be such a big trouble. He just didn't want Surena to continue to command him, but he didn't want Zhang Liao to really run away.

He knew that if Zhang Liao really ran away, he would be in big trouble this time.

This time, in order to capture Zhang Liao, they mobilized all the troops in Guangxin City. If Zhang Liao really ran away, then all these troubles would be beyond his ability to bear.

"Hmph, just wait for the punishment from the lord when you return."

Surena snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Although Ling Bao was a little scared in his heart, he still pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

When Surena brought Ling Bao's 10,000 men back to the camp, all he saw was a messy camp.

When he was sure that Zhang Liao had left, Surena couldn't help but punch a wooden stake beside him.

"You bunch of losers actually let Zhang Liao get away like this."

After listening to Surena's words, everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Alright, Grand Marshal, no matter what, this incident is also related to your dispatch. We are all responsible for this incident. After we go back, we will apologize to the lord together. Now we should consider where Zhang Liao can go after breaking out, which is more important, right?"

Ling Bao's words woke Surena up.

Then Surena immediately came to the front of the map and looked at it carefully.

Ling Bao, who was standing by, saw that Surena actually started to look at him, and shook his head helplessly as he walked forward.

"Hey, Marshal, we don't need to watch for so long, isn't it obvious? He must be going back to Longbian City, should we go after him?"

Upon hearing this, Surena hesitated for a moment. He always felt that things were not that simple.

Zhang Liao's style of doing things has always been somewhat unexpected. How could he leave so easily?

Although Surena knew that what Ling Bao said was wrong, he didn't know what Zhang Liao would do. In the end, he could only choose to listen to Ling Bao and immediately led a large army to chase Zhang Liao.

However, no one expected that Zhang Liao did not leave at this time, but hid in the woods nearby.

After seeing Surena and the others leave, the deputy general beside him walked over to Zhang Liao.

"General, let's go back quickly. After these few battles, we only have less than 400 people left. With this few people, it seems that we can't do anything, right?"

"It's not like we can't do anything. We certainly have things we can do. Come on, I'll take you to do something big. If this thing succeeds, our contribution will be quite significant." (End of this chapter)
