Just when Zhang Ren had properly arranged his army to fight Shangyong, a soldier rushed to him in a hurry and informed him that Sang Hongyang had returned from Jingzhou!
"Take me quickly to see Mr. Sang Hongyang. What is the outcome of the alliance between our army and Dou Jiande?"
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Zhang Ren successfully found Sang Hongyang. Before he could take the initiative to ask, Sang Hongyang saluted politely and then said loudly: "General Zhang Ren, Sang Hongyang was fortunate to live up to his command and successfully persuaded Dou Jiande and Our military alliance!"
Zhang Ren was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly asked Sang Hongyang if Dou Jiande had sent troops to support him.
"Report to General Zhang that Dou Jiande has sent Dou Tongyuan (Thong-armed Monkey) to lead 20,000 elite troops north to assist in the battle. It won't be long before they can reach Fangling to support General Ji Chang and the others!"
Hearing what Sang Hongyang said, Zhang Ren was overjoyed. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and then said with sonorous words: "With Dou Jiande sending troops to help, it is only a matter of time before our army recaptures Shangyong."
After saying this, Zhang Ren was seen returning to the Chinese army's tent at lightning speed. Following his order, the three armies immediately started to move towards Shangyong direction.
…
A few days later!
The three Huli brothers led 8,000 elite troops to Fangling and successfully joined forces with Ji Chang's advance troops. Zhang Ren also rushed to Fangling as soon as possible to discuss the plan to attack Fangling with Huli, Ji Chang and others.
Everyone held an emergency meeting. At the meeting, Zhang Ren analyzed the current situation in detail and pointed out clearly: Fangling's city wall was low and not strong enough, making it easier for the Shu army to attack; although the number of defenders in the city was large, their morale was low and their morale was disorganized; Guard general Yuwen Chenglong looks brave, but in fact he is a useless person with a silver spear, so there is no need to worry!
"Our army suddenly arrived at Fangling. This was unexpected by the defenders of Fangling. If we launch a sudden attack, we may be able to capture Fangling in one fell swoop."
After listening to Zhang Ren's suggestion, Hu Li, Ji Chang and others had no objections and all agreed to the plan to raid Fangling.
So, in the following meeting, they agreed on a detailed combat plan and decided to launch an attack on Fangling that night!
That night, while the guards of Fangling City were drowsy, the Shu army lurking in the night quietly approached Fangling City and climbed up the city wall using grappling hooks.
"kill!!!"
The sudden roar resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Shu soldiers were like seducers from hell. The cold swords in their hands seemed to turn into deadly sickles in the hands of the God of Death at this moment, constantly reaping the rewards of the Jingzhou soldiers. life.
When the defenders on the city wall discovered the Shu army, it was already too late. The Shu army launched a fierce attack. The defenders on the city wall were killed and were caught off guard and retreated one after another!
"Hold it! Anyone who dares to retreat will be shot to death!"
Fangling guard general Yuwen Chenglong's eyes widened with anger. He waved the sword in his hand and tried to organize the soldiers to fight back. However, the Shu army's offensive surged like a tide. The soldiers guarding the city could not resist it at all, and they were killed and retreated!
Just as Yuwen Chenglong was leading his soldiers to resist stubbornly, the three Huli brothers of the Shu army had already led eight thousand elite soldiers, like tigers descending from the mountain, into Fangling City. They fought bravely to kill the enemy, rushing from left to right. unstoppable.
In another place, Shu general Ji Chang commanded the rest of the Shu army in an orderly manner, poured in from the city gate, and started a fierce street battle with the defenders!
"Yuwen Chenglong, stop struggling pointlessly. You have been defeated. You should surrender as soon as possible!"
Ji Chang, who was holding a treasure bow, spotted the figure of Fangling guard Yuwen Chenglong in the vast crowd. He rode to Yuwen Chenglong and earnestly persuaded Yuwen Chenglong to lead his soldiers to surrender.
However, Yuwen Chenglong was a die-hard loyalist of Yang Jian and would not easily rebel and surrender to the enemy. He laughed loudly when faced with Ji Chang's persuasion to surrender, and then spat thick phlegm in the direction of Ji Chang with a look of contempt on his face and cursed angrily. : "Who do you think you are? Even if Liu Bang persuades me to surrender, I will not give him face, let alone you? Stop talking nonsense and fight if you want!"
Seeing that Yuwen Chenglong rejected his kindness, Ji Chang's face
His expression instantly turned gloomy, his eyes widened, and the flower-carved dragon-snake bow in his hand was instantly fully drawn. A sharp arrow was placed on the bow, and then a cold light suddenly appeared, and the cold arrow flashed with lightning. It shot towards Yuwen Chenglong's chest at a speed as fast as flint.
"Ding! The Sword King effect of Yuwen Chenglong's skill 1 is activated. When using sword weapons, the force value is increased by 3 points. It is detected that his basic force value is 93, iron tiger head sword 1, purple mane thunder horse 1, skills The effect is activated, and the force value is increased to 96 (98)."
Just when the arrow fired by Ji Chang was about to touch Yuwen Chenglong's chest, at the critical moment, Yuwen Chengdu reacted quickly. He turned sideways to avoid the attack of the arrow. Then his arm strength surged, and the iron tiger in his hand Four or five flickering sword flowers danced in the air. The blade flashed with cold light, like a hungry tiger descending from the mountain, and it slashed straight towards Ji Chang!
"You are quite capable of dodging my arrows. It seems that I underestimated you."
Ji Chang sneered. He rode his horse and separated a large distance from Yuwen Chenglong. Then he drew his bow and set an arrow. His top-notch mounted archery was matched with the three-star volley. The three sharp arrows seemed to turn into three-headed legs in mid-air. The terrifying dragon that destroyed the heaven and earth, the three-headed dragon showed a triangular shape, completely blocking Yuwen Chenglong's attack or escape route.
"Damn it, this guy's archery skills are so good!"
Yuwen Chenglong immediately waved the iron tiger head knife in his hand and tried his best to block the two fatal arrows that were shot at his forehead and heart. When he pulled out his hand to block the last arrow that was shot at his thigh. When the arrow hit, it was already too late.
Poof!
As a dull sound sounded, the third arrow shot by Ji Chang penetrated Yuwen Chenglong's left thigh, causing severe lacerations to his thigh.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"
The severe pain made Yuwen Chenglong roar uncontrollably. He glared fiercely, gritted his teeth, and forcefully pulled out the arrow stuck in his leg, and then viciously threw the flesh-and-blood arrow away. on the ground.
The injured Yuwen Chenglong knew that he was no match for Ji Chang. At this time, he was afraid. Seeing that the Shu army had occupied Fangling and that the situation was over, he had the idea of escape.
He led his cronies to forcefully break out of the siege and attempted to break out from the south gate. However, the three Huli brothers had long expected that he would make such a move and ambush heavy troops at the south gate in advance!
