After a pause, he ordered sharply: "Pull up the commander-in-chief flag, beat the drums to cheer, and let all the soldiers in the city know that I, Li Li, are on the tower right now!"

"No!" Li Zhi, Wang Yue and Huang Zhong responded in unison.

Immediately, Huang Zhong reorganized the soldiers to counterattack, while Li Zhi took out the commander-in-chief flag with the word "Li" from the bag on his back, pulled out a general flag, and replaced it with Li Li's commander-in-chief flag.But Wang Yue strode to the war drum not far behind him, picked up the drumstick on the ground, and beat the war drum hanging on the wall with a loud bang.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom"

"Uh, the lord's handsome flag, the lord is back!"

"Look, the golden battle armor, the golden beast king banner, that is,,, the lord!"

"The lord is back, the soldiers follow me to kill!"

A handsome flag planted on the roof of the tower, the three-way drum that ordered the whole army to charge, and the golden and proud figure standing on the tower, were like a panacea injected into the soldiers of Xiliang who were completely at a disadvantage. Immediately, it spread throughout the city and reached the ears of every Xiliang soldier.

In an instant, the Xiliang soldiers, who had been completely suppressed by the Hanzhong army and the Jiajia warriors, were shocked, and the depression stopped instantly, and the morale of the army returned.

When all the soldiers saw the majestic and majestic posture of the lord in the golden armor standing on the city tower, each Xiliang soldier was like a god possessed, with blood boiling, blood bursting, daring to fight back without fear of death.In an instant, the counterattacking Xiliang soldiers were no different than the armored warriors of the Five Dou Rice Sect.The many Xiliang generals who were struggling to support, regardless of their own safety, led the soldiers under their tents to advance without retreating, showing their might, forcibly curbing the offensive momentum of the Hanzhong Army, and fighting bloody battles with the armored warriors, refusing to give up an inch.

After seeing the whole army fighting back bravely, Li Li picked up the golden sword and went into battle to kill the enemy. He led Li Zhi, Wang Yue, Huang Zhong and more than a hundred temporarily organized soldiers to attack the armored warriors in the center of the tower.

"Kill all the enemy troops and take back the city tower! Kill"

With the sword in hand, Li Li took the lead, and the golden sword flew in the air, harvesting the lives of armored warriors one after another like a death scythe.Although there were only more than 100 soldiers behind him, he was as invincible as a sharp knife, striding all the way, unstoppable, forcibly opened a gap among the many armored warriors, and then opened a bloody path.

No matter how powerful the armored warriors are in combat, they are still flesh and blood, and they will still die if their heads are chopped off or their chests are cut open.Facing the pioneering blade composed of Li Li, Li Zhi, Wang Yue and Huang Zhong, and placed on a relatively narrow tower, the thousands of armored warriors who had defeated the defenders of the tower seemed so vulnerable , Like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, there is no power to fight back, and it is completely vulnerable.

The sword swung, the long sword fluttered, and rows of armored warriors standing in front of them fell down one after another.However, the more than a hundred soldiers led by the four of Li Li advanced all the way, crushing them unstoppably, squeezing the living space of the Hanzhong army and armored warriors step by step, forcing them to retreat continuously. Roll down the tower, or be forced to jump off.

In an instant, the battle for the city tower, which was originally a battle of catching and fighting, gradually evolved into a massacre consisting of four people.In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of armored warriors died under the swords of the four of them. Thousands of Hanzhong soldiers were so frightened that they escaped with the help of ladders.Such a huge lethality and deterrence is really appalling, never seen before.

It has to be said that the rampant actions of Li Li, Huang Zhong, Wang Yue and others have taken advantage of the right time and place, and they can be met but not sought.Dark night, city towers, chaotic fighting, and in the city under the control of the Xiliang Army, there are four top powerhouses joining forces, all of which are indispensable.Only in this special environment can such unprecedented lethality and unparalleled deterrence be created.

"Da da da!"

Just as Li Lili was leading the defenders to reverse the situation, suddenly there was a "rumbling" sound from behind the Hanzhong Army under the city, and then a group of cavalry with as many as 6000 people came out of the darkness and rushed towards Zhang. The rear of the Chinese army where Lu was.

"The leader of the bandits, Lu Xiu, is leaving, Zhao Yun is here, and all the soldiers follow me to kill!"

Amidst the loud shouts, Zhao Yun, who had been missing for a long time, finally returned from robbing the camp at dawn, led a surprise attack on Zhang Lu's rear army with Wushuang cavalry, and flanked the Hanzhong army under the city with the army in the city.

Thirty miles southwest of Chencang City, on a rugged mountain road.

The sound of "da da" horseshoes resounded through the mountains and forests, thousands of cavalry galloped, followed by tens of thousands of infantry.

The whole team stretched back and forth for more than ten miles, like a winding snake, moving forward slowly.

It is quite strange that, apart from a banner among the leading cavalry, this army has no banners in the marching team behind.Moreover, the team was loose, and many soldiers walked lightly. When marching, their bodies swayed from side to side, walking slowly with one deep foot and one shallow foot, as if they had not eaten, and were weak.

In addition, the entire marching team had no formation at all, each walking in its own way, with messy armor and disheveled clothes.What's more, many soldiers didn't even have weapons in their hands, and they were mixed in the team empty-handed, while the leading generals turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to them.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, the man in brocade robe who was walking in front of the horse took the reins and rode his horse slowly.I saw his nostrils fluttering, as if he couldn't breathe, he was panting "heh heh heh heh", his forehead was covered with bean-sized beads of sweat, and the hair was still steaming.

After finally relieving his breath, he turned his head weakly and said to the scribes behind him: "How dangerous, I was almost captured alive by the enemy general Zhao Yun. I became a prisoner of Thief Li!"

The scholar in Confucian robes was also panting from exhaustion, sweating profusely, and his originally fair face was as red as a jujube.After hearing the words.He panted, "My lord's words are very true. The enemy general Zhao Yun was extremely brave, and he knocked down several generals of our army in the blink of an eye. If General Zhang Wei hadn't resisted desperately, we would have been trapped under the city. Get away. Fortunately, it was safe and sound, and finally escaped."

Obviously, this pair of long-robed scribes sharing weal and woe is Zhang Lu and Yan Pu, his chief adviser.The generals who commanded the marching brigade were Zhang Lu's younger brothers Zhang Wei, Yang Bai and Yang Song.

And the reason why they have fallen to this point is all thanks to the Xiliang Army.

After fighting fiercely all night, the situation was originally good.But at the last moment, he failed. How can this kind of experience not make people feel annoyed?

"Bie Li is hateful, Zhao Yun is hateful!"

Zhang Lu cursed furiously, gritted his teeth and said, "Tens of thousands of troops fought fiercely in the middle of the night. Nearly [-] soldiers climbed to the top of the city one after another. It seemed that Chencang City was about to be captured, and victory was in sight. But he never expected that Bandit Li would appear suddenly On the top of the city tower, as soon as they ascended the heights, the Xiliang army fought back like crazy, which reversed the entire battle situation and ended the good situation. What's more, the cavalry under Zhao Yun's troops, who were sneaky, didn't show up sooner or later. At this juncture, we fought from behind our army, and we were caught off guard. We were completely defeated. The good situation was ruined, I am not reconciled!"

Seeing Zhang Lu sighing so much, Yan Pu quickly comforted him with words: "My lord calm down, you are hurting yourself. The matter has come to this point, it is too late to say anything, and it is useless to be angry and regretful. I hope my lord will be relieved. In the future, we will regroup the army." horse, you can make a comeback."

However, besides persuading Zhang Lu, Yan Pu also had mixed feelings in his heart and had a lot of feelings.Immediately, he said thoughtfully: "In the battle last night, our army seized the opportunity from the very beginning and had an absolute advantage, and captured the tower within two hours. It is not difficult to see from this that the Xiliang iron cavalry is good at field combat , charging into battle is easy, but they are not good at defending the city, because most of the Xiliang army stationed in Chencang City last night were cavalry. But I have to admit that the Xiliang army is indeed brave and amazing. Under such circumstances, the Xiliang soldiers did not retreat, but resisted desperately. No one was afraid of fighting, and no one ran away. The tenacious will to fight is the only thing I have seen in my life."

Speaking of this, Yan Pu's tone paused, and he didn't notice Zhang Lu's displeasure at all. He thought about it and continued: "This is what I have observed from this battle. The weakness of the Xiliang Army is that they are good at attacking but not good at defending." At the same time, the subordinates also discovered that Li Li possessed unimaginable prestige and influence in the Xiliang army. I am afraid that only Li Li can do the act of turning the tide like last night. Xiliang soldiers regard him as a god , is completely the incarnation of God of War.

Before he showed up, although the Xiliang army was brave and tough, it was not invincible.But after he appeared, the entire Xiliang army took on a new look as if it had been completely reborn, and its combat power suddenly rose to the extreme, which was not inferior to the guards under the lord's command.The most frightening thing is that there are only more than [-] people in the teaching guards, while the Xiliang Army under Li Li's command has hundreds of thousands of people.There are so many soldiers and horses comparable to the guards, and they are like a tiger and wolf army. No wonder no one in the world can compete with them head-on.also?"

Feeling it, Yan Pu raised his head inadvertently, but unexpectedly saw Zhang Lu's face was gloomy, with an extremely displeased expression, as if he was about to get angry.This discovery made Yan Pu wake up suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, and he didn't dare to continue talking.

At the same time, Yan Pu hurriedly confessed: "My lord, please calm down. I made a slip of the tongue. I didn't mean to flatter Li Li deliberately, but to discuss the facts. It will be very beneficial for me to fight Li Li in the future. It is absolutely possible to take action against the weaknesses of the Xiliang Army and use our own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses in order to win. After this battle, we will have a long-term confrontation with the Xiliang Army, which forces us to be prepared. Seek the way to win. There is a saying in the art of war, and you can win every battle if you know yourself and the enemy. Therefore, we must first understand the Xiliang Army and Li Li, and then we can defeat the Xiliang Army. What I say below is from the bottom of my heart, please learn from my lord."

Zhang Lu's expression slowed down a bit when he heard this, but he still asked in a deep voice with a bad tone: "Since you have observed Li Thief so carefully, what have you found? Why don't you tell me about Li Thief, and how can we defeat him?"

"This..." Yan Pu looked at Zhang Lu's profile sideways in amazement, with mixed feelings in his heart. He wanted to push back but kept silent, and also wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Zhang Lu.Advise him to change his attitude as soon as possible, so that he can no longer continue to confront the Xiliang army.

"Since the lord is asking, I will tell you bluntly. Li Li is a man. He is strong and tenacious, wise and cunning, good at planning before making moves, not moving is done, and moving is sure to win. He can be called a hero of Wentao and Wulu. Moreover, Li Li He has the ability to know people very well, and he doesn’t need to use people when he suspects them. Boldly decentralizing power, in recent years, he has implemented a new policy in Xiliang prefectures and counties, and has achieved great results. Some people from Xiliang fled to Hanzhong, even,,, even many of my people from Hanzhong fled to Xiliang territory privately, and resettled. These things, the Lord must have heard about it before, and I know it well."

Speaking of this, Yan Pu simply stopped looking at Zhang Lu's gloomy face, and said without hesitation: "Now, Li Li has four prefectures, with 50 troops, and is guarding the western capital Chang'an. Tianxian is powerful and mighty in the world. But Hanzhong is only a county. Even though we have enough money and food, and there are more than [-] soldiers and horses, we are still unable to confront the Xiliang army head-on.

Therefore, at the beginning, I discouraged the lord from sending troops to fight against Li Li. Not only that, but he should also take the initiative to make friends with him, so as to ensure peace in Hanzhong.But now that the two sides have been fighting for a long time, it is too late to say anything, and it is already impossible to reconcile.For the current plan, we have only two options. One is to unite with Yizhou Liu Zhang to fight against Li Li, and the other is to ask the emperor to punish him, and to offer food, grass and supplies to Li Li, and ask Li Li to return to the division and withdraw his troops.Other than that, we have no choice of a third path; if we insist on a third path, it would be a bloody battle to the end, and the city will be destroyed and people will be destroyed in the end. "

After finishing speaking, Yan Pu lowered his head and did not dare to look up at Zhang Lu's expression. He deliberately rode his horse slowly and landed behind Zhang Lu, silently waiting for Zhang Lu to make a decision.

At this moment, Zhang Lu's face was really ugly, his face was livid, and he seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, but his eyes were wandering, his eyebrows were beating violently, his expression was gloomy, and his mood was extremely unstable, like a rapidly churning volcano, which might erupt in anger at any time.

However, just when Yan Pu was ready to receive Zhang Lu's angry reprimand, he heard him say in a low tone: "We and Liu Zhang from Yizhou jointly send troops to resist the Xiliang Army. It's easy to say, but it's like Shu The way is the same, it is difficult to reach the sky. Last year, Liu Zhang beheaded my mother and my fourth brother for public display, regardless of injustice, and then mobilized heavy troops to attack Hanzhong. From then on, we in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou were incompatible with each other, and there were frequent conflicts, and we have been on guard against each other to this day."

"As for donating money, food, and supplies to Li Lijin in the hope that the Xiliang Army will withdraw, I haven't thought about it. But,,, but doing so means that I, Zhang Lu, bowed my head to Li Li, which is tantamount to begging for surrender. In this way, my Zhang Lu The century-old foundation of the family will be destroyed, how can I explain to the Zhang family ancestors, how can I have the face to meet my grandfather after a hundred years!"

What Zhang Lu said was very pertinent, but Yan Pu could hear a lot of deep meaning from it.First, Zhang Lu is not willing to become Li Li's minister at the moment; second, he is very afraid of death and wants to live a long life; There was a glimmer of hope, but he was worried that Liu Zhang would not send troops to help.

Thinking of this, Yan Pu stepped forward to walk side by side with Zhang Lu, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Now that I am not at the end of my life, I will not consider compromising with Li Li, but I can send envoys to Yizhou , Convince Liu Zhang to send troops to fight against Li together with us. After all, Hanzhong is the gateway of Yizhou, guarding the throat of the road to and from Shu. Once Hanzhong falls into the hands of Li Li, Yizhou will directly face the threat of oppression from the Xiliang Army. This is such a simple truth, Liu Zhang in Yizhou will not understand it; even if he can't see the coming crisis, there are many capable civil and military officials in Yizhou, how can they not see the stakes in it? ?

Therefore, as long as the news of our army's defeat at Chencang City reaches Yizhou, Liu Zhang and a group of civil and military officials must not sit still. They are afraid that after Hanzhong falls, Li Li will not stop and directly attack Yizhou.Therefore, at this time, as long as we send envoys to Yizhou to express our attitude, Liu Zhang of Yizhou will definitely send troops to help, because he has no choice but to fight against Li Li with our Hanzhong army, otherwise Yizhou will be destroyed the day Hanzhong falls Start. "

"Well said!" Zhang Lu was excited when he heard the words, and immediately waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "If the Yizhou army helps, why should you be afraid of the thief Li? All the soldiers, speed up and follow me to the Qiang Dao!"
