In the early morning, the sun shone again on the city head of Luoxian County.夡

Many broken arrows and arrowheads had not had time to be cleaned, and some walls were pitch black, as if they were burnt.

For half a day, while the Shu army was preparing for a sneak attack by the Chu army, they only had time to clean up the bodies, wash away the blood, and take a nap on the bed.

Han Zong wore a suit of armor and climbed onto a fast horse, looking somewhat heroic. I saw him riding his horse to the city gate and shouting.

"Young man, after a day of fighting, half of your men were killed or injured, right? Have you figured it out? It only takes one day from Chengdu to Luoxian County, but no reinforcements have arrived yet. Your King of Shu, Liu Zhang, has abandoned you!"

Yang Huai, the governor of Luoxian County, pressed his hands on the city wall and gritted his teeth.

"Han, don't show off your words here. I, Yang Huai, have received great favor from the king, and I will never betray the Lord! If you have the ability, come up, and we will fight for another three hundred rounds!"

Han Zong curled his lips. Although Yang Huai's martial arts was good, it was only second-rate, and he could no longer look down upon him. If it weren't for the endless stream of Shu troops in the city, he would have killed Yang Huai yesterday.夡

Han Zong was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud, he just said.

"Young man named Yang, this Luoxian County only gives you two thousand defenders to resist the most powerful Yulin army in Chu State, and the number of people I have is five times as many as yours! What the hell, your king is like this Is he very kind to you?"

"Even if you are not afraid of death, what about your brothers? They don't have parents, wives and children? Can you bear to let them die here with you?"

This question got into Yang Huai's heart. He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Han Zong, do you dare to fight in front of the battle? If you win, I will ask the brothers behind me to surrender in Kaicheng, but you have to ensure the safety of my brothers. If I win,"

Do you still want to retreat?

Then you have to fight General Wei, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand two swords.夡

When Han Zong heard Yang Huai's words, he was overjoyed and answered hurriedly.

"If you win, I will die. If our army gives you another half day, I will see if Liu Zhang can give you reinforcements! If I win, I will not only ensure the safety of your brothers, but also send people to control Apart from them, how about I leave them all in Luo County so that they don’t have to go to Chengdu to fight?”

"good!"

When Yang Huai heard this, he nodded simply.

"Open the door and prepare your horse!"

As the soldiers of Luoxian County bid farewell, Yang Huai rode outside the city gate and faced Han Zong from a distance.

So brave.夡

At this time, Han Zong had to secretly admire him in his heart.

Han Zong clasped his fists, pulled out his long knife and said.

"Please."

Yang Huai happened to be using a long knife. He held the long knife diagonally and rushed towards Han Zong with a loud shout.

"kill!"

The two of them were not polite and struck at each other's vital points as soon as they struck. The swords and lights clashed, and it seemed that this round of fighting was evenly matched.

"Come again!"

The two drove their horses to fight back and forth. After more than ten rounds of fighting, the horses went in the same direction. The longer the fight lasted, Yang Huai gradually fell behind, and it was obvious that he could not keep up with Han Zong's rhythm.

After escaping a dangerous spot, Yang Huai drove his horse to avoid it. Han Zong did not chase him, but just said.

"Yang Huai, I respect you as a man. How about I give you another chance to surrender? Troubled times are an era of heroes fighting for hegemony. Liu Zhang is so cowardly that he can't live up to the sky by being a local emperor in a corner of Shuchuan River. But my king Sun Ce is the hero who wants to end the troubled times, unify the Central Plains, and establish a peaceful and prosperous age. Now that our Yulin army has reached the gate of Chengdu, how many days can he, Liu Zhang, be free?"

Yang Huai escaped from danger and was still frightened. He gasped for air and shouted after hearing the words.

"Although my king is weak in military force, he is a benevolent king. Yang Huai is deeply favored and can only repay it with death. Don't talk too much and watch the sword!"

While talking, Yang Huai stepped forward with the sword again, and Han Zong stopped talking nonsense. The two sides fought for another thirty rounds, and Yang Huai was touched by Han Zong on the neck and fell off the horse.

"Great wind!"

"Great wind!"

When the Yulin army saw Han Zong's victory, they immediately shouted excitedly. The cheers from all directions made Han Zong feel very proud.

The defenders of Luoxian County finally opened the door and surrendered, with a total of 1,200 surrendered troops. 780 of them were still able to fight, and more than 400 people suffered minor or serious injuries and needed to recuperate.

However, in accordance with the agreement between the two, Wei Yan only arranged for people to take over Luoxian County and did not organize the more than 700 people into the combat order.

I originally thought it would take another day of fighting to capture Luoxian County, but I didn't expect it only took half an hour.

Whether to continue to rest or to immediately march into Chengdu put Wei Yan in a dilemma.

"Take a day off and wait for news from the north."

In the end, Wei Yan chose to wait for the enemy's movements to be detected by the scouts before making any deployment.

They waited for a whole day, and in the evening, Tanma, who went north to explore, returned to the military camp.

"There are two generals guarding Zitong, one named Mengda and the other named Liu Sui. Meng Da rushed to Jianguan to take charge. There were 10,000 defenders stationed at Jianguan to defend the Qin army in the north. Liu Sui led Zitong to guard 20,000 troops came out in full force and are now near Shiniu Town."

Twenty thousand people.

After getting the exact information, Wei Yan's eyes flickered.

Dong~dong~dong~

Luoxian County has been captured, and everyone is gathering together in twos and threes to eat, when they suddenly hear the gathering of generals and drums, and they are a little stunned.夡

Han Zong pouted and complained as he walked towards the handsome tent.

"The general can't hold back ten sentences in a day. Why do you have to say it now? I haven't finished my meal yet?"

Lu Xun lightly kicked Han Zong's butt with his leg and grunted.

"Have you accomplished a great service and become more capable? Do you want to tell the general in front of him later? Let's see if he doesn't kill you!"

Han Zong immediately shut up and stopped answering, and Lao Zongshi and other commanders walked into the handsome tent one after another.

Wei Yan said immediately when he saw that more than a dozen commanders had arrived.

"I have just received information that Liu Quan is heading towards Chengdu with 20,000 troops. This is much better than what I expected when the Shu army gave up Zitong's 30,000 troops and went south, and the Qin army took the opportunity to lead 20,000 to 30,000 troops to invade Shuchuan. Now, I have decided to lead my army back to Mianzhu overnight, and first destroy Liu Suan's 20,000-strong army, and then enter Chengdu. Please tell me what you have to say."

Huo Yi's eyes almost popped out of his head. Didn't he say that he wanted to race against time and conquer Chengdu as soon as possible? Why did he turn around and go to fight the pursuers behind him?

The generals looked at each other and were a little confused. Only Han Zong looked excited and clasped his fists.

"General, I would like to be a pioneer!"

Wei Yan waved his hand and asked Han Zong to sit down first, and then he spoke again.

"I know, Chengdu is right in front of you, and you are very curious as to why I suddenly turned around to attack Zitong's pursuers."

"Then let me tell you, first of all, if we fail to capture Chengdu quickly, being attacked from both sides is one of the factors, and the other is because we are the Yulin Army."

"Before I joined the Yulin Army, I was a small lieutenant under Liu Biao. I led a thousand people to serve as a gate officer at the south gate of Changsha. The Yulin Army had just been established at that time, and Changsha fell. I Without realizing it, he followed the military commander and rushed thousands of miles from Jingnan to capture Liu Biao's Xiangyang City." Kuang.

"It is precisely because of this battle that the new Habayashi Army has been taken a serious look by others, and so am I."

"Later, fighting from west to east, from south to north, and dozens of battles, big and small, the brothers gradually became elite soldiers in hundreds of battles, but it was this that really made the Yulin Army become one of the three elites of the Chu Kingdom. Which battle was the one that made others give a thumbs up when talking about my Habayashi Army?"

Wei Yan stood up, passed the table and walked in the middle of the military tent.

"It was the battle where we defeated the White-Er Elite Soldiers! That Guan Yu was so powerful, I almost died in that battle."

Seeing Wei Yan smile unconsciously, Lu Xun and Han Zong felt a little chilled, but they just listened to him continue.

"I became a captain that year, but as long as others knew that I was from the Habayashi Army, they would treat me as a general in the army. Although I was not good at speaking, others could still tell how respectful and polite they were. At that time, I understand one thing, the most important thing in the military is strength!"

"When your Majesty was in Yong'an County, why did you hesitate to implement the Yulin Army's plan to raid Chengdu? Isn't it because he was worried that the Yulin Army was not strong enough to capture Chengdu! What if it was the Tiger Roaring Camp?" Kuang

"Your Majesty was convinced back then that the 3,000 men of the Tiger Roar Camp could hold off tens of thousands of Wei troops in Pengcheng!"

Wei Yan's expression looked extremely ferocious for a moment, but soon became calm again.

"The designation of the Tiger Roar Camp has been withdrawn for many years. Why is it that none of the three elites of the Chu State can become the ace army of the Chu State?"

"If you use softness to overcome hardness, it means you are not strong enough; if you use weakness to defeat strong, it means you are not strong enough; if you use skill to defeat force, it means you are not strong enough! Only by defeating the army with skill and surpassing the heroes in strength can the state of Chu be established The "ace". "

When he reached the end of the tent, Wei Yan turned around, glanced at the shining eyes of the generals, and smiled.

"We have already cleaned up those messy fish, and now the main course is here. Kill Liu Shuang's 20,000 pursuers, and then turn around and capture Chengdu! So that you and your Majesty will know that in the decisive battle, use me, use me Definitely win! Let the thieves in the world know that when they hear my name of "Yu Lin", they should run away. "

All generals are excited.夡

"I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"
