Zhao Yun did not refuse, stepped forward on horseback, and slowly stood in front of Zhang Xiu.
"Brother, you and I are from the same sect, so why should we fight? Yesterday was just a misunderstanding. We can put down our weapons and eliminate the misunderstanding!"
"Without further ado!"
Zhang Xiu looked indifferent and said coldly,
"If you think we are brothers, then leave quickly. I won't embarrass you."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he just sighed and immediately raised the gentian silver gun in his hand.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu stopped talking nonsense and just grabbed the horse's belly and rushed towards Zhao Yun.
"Clang clang clang!"
The tips of their spears were like pear blossoms, transforming into two masses of silver light.
With the constant impact, sparks flew everywhere and made a tinkling sound!
Both of them are disciples of the martial artist Tong Yuan, and they also practice the Hundred Birds Chao Huang Spear.
They are very familiar with each other's marksmanship.
However, in the blink of an eye, the two fought for dozens of rounds, but they still could not decide the winner.
Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and became angry. The spear in his hand danced faster and faster, and he launched a torrential attack on Zhao Yun!
Seeing his menacing approach, Zhao Yun was not afraid. Gentian Liangyin turned sharply, like a snake that was constantly circling, forming an airtight defensive circle.
No matter how Zhang Xiu attacked, he couldn't get close.
What kind of marksmanship is this? !
Zhang Xiu was slightly startled and couldn't help being surprised.
Little did he know that Zhao Yun became better than his master after learning the lifelong secrets of his master, Tong Yuan.
Based on the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, he formed his own sect and developed the Seven Exploration Snake Coil Spear, which is even more powerful than the former!
The Seven Detectives are seven killing moves as attack methods.
The Snake Pan is a defensive move, which is the move Zhao Yun used just now.
When masters compete, victory or defeat can happen in an instant!
Zhao Yun keenly caught Zhang Xiu's daze, and his spear instantly switched from defense to attack, stabbing Zhang Xiu's chest like a cunning poisonous snake!
Zhang Xiu had no time to react and could only watch as the spear stabbed towards his chest!
"clang!"
The sharp tip of the spear, like the gleaming fangs of a poisonous snake, hit Zhang Xiu's chest!
Fortunately, Zhao Yunian showed some affection for his fellow apprentices, and Zhang Xiu was protected by armor.
This shot did not kill Zhang Xiu, it just knocked him off his horse.
Zhang Xiu struggled to sit up, but with a "wow" sound, he spit out a large pool of blood.
"Lord!"
When Hu Che'er in the rear saw this, he was shocked and rushed over with his soldiers!
Yang Ling didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, Cao Jun also took the initiative to greet him!
The armies of both sides fought to the same place in an instant!
It's a pity that because Zhang Xiu had just been defeated, the morale of his soldiers and horses was sluggish, and they were at a disadvantage immediately.
Under the cover of Hu Cheer, Zhang Xiu successfully escaped.
Seeing the situation that was not conducive to his own army, he gritted his teeth with a pale face and said to Hu Che'er,
"withdraw!"
There were fierce generals like Zhao Yun and Gan Ning in Cao Ang's army, and he was seriously injured. It was impossible to capture them.
So Zhang Xiu made a decisive decision and ordered the withdrawal of troops!
"retreat!"
Hu Cheer shouted at the top of his lungs.
Zhang Xiu's soldiers did not hesitate and fled towards Wancheng in the rear like a tide.
Seeing Zhang Xiu and the others trying to escape, Cao Ang couldn't help but said,
"Teacher, do we want to pursue him?"
"Pursuit? No need."
Yang Ling smiled and shook his head.
"Why?"
Cao Ang looked at Yang Ling in surprise.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu was defeated, his morale was low, and his formation was in chaos.
If we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, it is very possible to capture Wancheng.
"You'll find out later."
Yang Ling just smiled mysteriously.
the other side.
After Zhang Xiu escaped hundreds of steps, he turned around and found that Cao Jun had not caught up with him, and he was relieved.
He led Hu Che'er and a group of soldiers to flee to Wancheng in embarrassment.
Seeing the city gate that was still closed, Zhang Xiu suddenly became furious, raised his head and shouted,
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you open the door quickly!"
But the soldiers on the city wall didn't seem to hear it and didn't respond at all.
Zhang Xiu's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to mind.
"Are you going to rebel?! Where are the military advisors and others?!"
he snapped.
"Lord, my subordinates are here."
Jia Xu appeared on the city wall and poked his head out.
"Mr. Wenhe, what do you mean?"
After Zhang Xiu led his troops out of the city, Jia Xu was in charge of affairs within the city.
Now that the city gate is closed and Zhang Xiu is not allowed to open the door, there is only one possibility: Jia Xu betrayed him!
Jia Xu sighed and said calmly,
"The reason why I closed the city gate tightly is because I don't want you, my lord, to come in."
"What?!"
Zhang Xiu was shocked!
I had great trust in Jia Xu, but he actually betrayed me? !
Zhang Xiu was furious for a moment.
However, Cao Jun was watching from behind, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart for a while and forced a smile.
"Commander, please stop joking with me. Open the door quickly and let me in."
"This subordinate is not joking with my lord."
Jia Xu said seriously,
"Now that we can't capture Cao Ang, the only thing waiting for you and me is death."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to surrender directly to Cao Ang to have a chance of survival."
Zhang Xiu frowned and forced a smile,
"We will discuss it in detail after I enter the city."
"With my lord's character, I will definitely not agree. This is also a helpless move by my subordinates. I hope my lord will forgive me."
Jia Xu cupped his hands.
"As long as the lord surrenders, I will guarantee with my head that Cao Ang will never hurt you!"
"Jia Xu, you're a bastard!"
Seeing that he was not getting enough, Zhang Xiu couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but curse.
But Jia Xu didn't seem to hear it, just shook his head and sighed, and then shrank back.
At this time, Cao Jun had reorganized his troops and horses and slowly advanced to the foot of Wancheng.
Looking at Zhang Xiu who was blocked outside the city gate, Cao Ang, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Xu Chu, Cao Anmin and others looked confused.
"What is going on? Is there internal strife in the city?"
Cao Ang said blankly.
"This is what I have left."
Yang Ling laughed and explained to everyone.
When they were preparing to escape from Wancheng, Yang Ling thought about what might happen next.
Zhang Xiu suffered this humiliation. With his character, he would never sit still and wait for death.
In two days, when the Jingzhou army arrives, Zhang Xiu will only die.
He will definitely take the initiative to leave the city and try to capture Cao Ang as early as possible.
So Yang Ling ordered spies from the school affairs office in the city to send a letter to Jia Xu, hoping that he would betray Zhang Xiu.
When Zhang Xiu went out to fight Cao's army, the city gates were tightly closed and he was not allowed to go back.
After hearing this, Cao Ang and others suddenly realized, but new questions also followed.
"Why are teachers so confident that Jia Xu will follow your advice?"
Cao Ang couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple, because Jia Xu has always been wise in protecting himself. As long as he can save his own life, he will do anything, let alone betray Zhang Xiu."
Yang Ling smiled.
