Chapter 137
After the mace was dragged, the temperature rose sharply, and everyone present could still smell a scalp-numbing smell of cooked meat.

It was the fleshy smell of the lieutenant general's corpse being scalded with a mace!
Zang Ba stood aside and watched this scene in shock. He could not have imagined that with just one encounter, Pei Yuanshao, who was almost exhausted, could kill the deputy general in his prime with one blow, cleanly and neatly.

He could have saved the lieutenant general, but for some reason, he didn't choose to make a move.

"Haha, if you kill one, you will earn money. If you kill another, you will gain. If you are not afraid of death, come up." Pei Yuanshao was panting and collapsed on the ground unable to move, but he still looked up to the sky and laughed, not afraid of death.

Anyone can see that he is already at the end of his strength, and beheading the lieutenant just now has exhausted all his strength.

But no one dared to step forward, the smell of blood wafted in the air, and there was a faint smell of cooked meat amidst the strong smell, which made people chill.

"You are a hero, but today we are in different camps. Since you refuse to surrender, then I can only respect you and let you die bravely." Zang Ba stepped forward holding the Hengjiang knife, and said decisively.

It is better to die by his hands than by these unknown soldiers.

Pei Yuanshao's men were all slaughtered by them, he could not delay any longer, he had to get rid of Pei Yuanshao as soon as possible, and he couldn't wait for Li Dian and the others to come back to help after they understood.

Zang Ba approached step by step, and the Hengjiang knife was also held high, the sun was pouring down and the blade was shining brightly, this is a good knife for killing people.

Pei Yuanshao looked at the corpses of his brothers who died in battle, with tears streaming down his eyes. They were all good men who were not afraid of death. From the beginning to the end, no one retreated and ran away, let alone knelt down to beg for surrender.

But now, he finally wants to be free, and he can catch up with them and continue walking on the road to Huangquan together.

The Hengjiang Saber shone with cold light, forming a crescent moon in the air, like a bloodthirsty dragon, slashing towards Pei Yuanshao.

"The thief will stop!"

At this moment, a sharp arrow pierced through the crowd, heading straight for Zang Ba's face with endless killing intent.

This is a move that must be saved when attacking the enemy. If Zang Ba doesn't withdraw his sword and continue to kill Pei Yuanshao, he himself will be injured by this sharp arrow and even lose his life.

This was sent by Li Dian. They rushed all the way, but fortunately it was not too late. Although all the soldiers were killed in battle, fortunately Pei Yuanshao was still alive.

Li Dian's arrow technique is actually not top-notch and exquisite. This is his desperate arrow. The distance is too far and the rescue is too late. He can only try reluctantly and try his best to save Pei Yuanshao.

Zang Ba felt the sound of violent friction in the air, and the secret path was not good, so he quickly retracted the Hengjiang sword in front of him, dodged sideways, and the sharp arrow passed by, directly shooting a soldier next to him, blood spattered, and fell to the ground act recklessly.

"Old Pei, hold on, I, Zhou Cang, are here to save you!" Zhou Cang charged in with his sword raised, not sparing his strength at all, the big knife in his hand was flying, messy and disorderly, all relying on a desperate momentum to kill the enemy.

Li Dian commanded the army from behind to press up, split into two torrents on the left and right, and wanted to form a larger encirclement circle to encircle Zang Ba's army.

Zang Ba sighed in a low voice, knowing that there is nothing to be done. Now their strength is not superior, and there is no general who can contend with the opponent except himself. If they continue to hold on, they will only be defeated and killed, and this is not what he wants. need.

As for Pei Yuanshao, Zang Ba turned his head to look at Pei Yuanshao who was lying on the ground without any resistance, shook his head, but after all, he did not make any more moves. With a wave of Hengjiang knife, he led the army to fight and retreat.

Worried about Pei Yuanshao's safety, Zhou Cang rushed to him and hugged him to protect him, and had no choice to continue chasing him.

Li Dian watched carefully and knew that Zang Ba had no intention of fighting again, so he quickly led his army to pursue him, taking advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy, killing him all the way until the enemy was completely defeated.

At the end of the fight, Li Dian suddenly discovered that Zang Ba had disappeared into the chaos of the battle without knowing when.

"Did Zang Ba escape from the battlefield?"

Li Dian didn't believe it. Although he was an opponent, he cherished Zang Ba and thought he was a rare rival.Such a general will never abandon his soldiers and flee from battle.

But he didn't have time to think about it. Now that Taishan County is empty, it's a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation with all his might.Without hesitation, he immediately asked the army to abandon the luggage and rush forward with only weapons, and must return to Taishan County.

After Liu Xie received the reminder from the system, he didn't pay too much attention to Taishan County, because Su Lie had already led a cavalry raid and successfully captured Fan County in Rencheng.

Although Rencheng is a county, there are only three counties under its jurisdiction: Rencheng, Fanxian, and Kangfu, which are far inferior to a large county like Chenliu.
Fan County didn't think that Liu Huihui would suddenly send troops to attack at this time. When they saw Su Lie's cavalry galloping and stirring up dust all over the sky, they hadn't realized that they were about to close the city gate, and watched Su Lie lead the cavalry charge. into the city.

Su Lie slashed and killed the guard with a single knife, and the rest of the people had no ability to resist under the ravages of the cavalry. After struggling for a while, they simply put down their weapons and chose to surrender, which saved Su Lie a lot of trouble.

After Su Lie captured Fan County, he sent someone to report the battle situation back to Liu Xie. Without any adjustments, he led the troops again and set off. Take the opportunity to take down Father Kang.

This is very similar to a well-known tactic in World War II in later generations-blitzkrieg.Use speed to beat the time difference, and make full use of the powerful maneuverability of the cavalry to win.

After Liu Xie left a few hundred troops to garrison Fan County, he also did not stay. Instead, he divided his troops again and handed over the [-] troops under his command to Su Lie's deputy general, ordering him to lead the troops to support Su Lie.

He himself took Li Cunxiao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and only led [-] tiger guards to drive directly to Rencheng.

Time is really too tight, he can't just keep calm and follow Su Lie to nibble at him step by step.

Moreover, the blitzkrieg of Su Lie's cavalry can only be carried out in one or two parts. In attacking the city, the cavalry did not have any miraculous effects except for the initial sneak attack.

Ren Cheng.

The walls are thick and the city is high, and the guards are strict. Different from the laxity of the other two counties, the gates here are tightly closed, and they are ready to resist Liu Xie.

Han Ming, the prefect of Rencheng, stood on the top of the city tower, looking far into the distance, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, with a faint feeling of bad premonition.

King Chen Liu, will he really attack?
He couldn't help but think of the letter Liu Dai sent to them a few days ago, which said that Liu Xieqian came out of the abyss and had the ambition to swallow the world. If he didn't limit or even eliminate it in time, Yanzhou would be wiped out by him.

This shocked him. Liu Dai was also a member of the Han family, and his seniority was ranked according to the clan relationship. He was still Liu Xie's uncle.Sure enough, the most ruthless emperor's family, it is not surprising that anything happens for power.

But this is a matter of their royal family, Han Ming is just a foreign minister, has no right to interfere, and does not want to participate.

He just wanted to shrink his troops to protect himself, and he didn't care who controlled and occupied Yanzhou.

This is also one of the important reasons why Su Lie was able to capture Fan County with ease. Both Fan County and Kangfu's troops were transferred back to Fangren City by Han Ming, and the two places had already been abandoned by him to some extent.
