Outside Ma Teng’s camp, in front of the west gate of Xiangping City.

The flags of the character "Ma" flutter in the wind, like flying dragons with their teeth and claws. Ma Teng's cavalry scattered to protect Ma Teng, Ma Guang, Yang Fu and others under the flag to prevent the commander from being attacked.

When Ma Teng heard the joy in Xiangping City, he couldn't help but look up and saw that the city defense at the top of Xiangping City had stabilized again.

The flag with the word "Zhao" was so dazzling at this moment, even causing a sensation of pain in his eyes.

"There are so many powerful generals under Zhang Xiu's command. What's the use of having Li Jue and Guo Si?" Ma Teng thought of Cheng Yi and Li Jue and Guo Si who were killed by Zhao Yun, and he couldn't help but sigh and said depressedly.

But this is just Ma Teng's complaints. Li Jue and Guo Si are not bad at leading the troops, and they are also considered elite soldiers and are considered ordinary elite generals.

"Oh." Yang Fu next to him also sighed. He had already formulated a strategy. He directly attacked Xiangping City, Lueyang County, Zhang Xiu's old nest, and ambushed 10,000 cavalrymen, preparing to surround the site to attack the aid.

However, the defenders of Xiangping City are powerful, their troops are not weak, and the city is tall and strong. Even if they use their horses to rush to gain more troops, it will be difficult to break for a while.

The defenders of Qingshui, Lueyang and Linwei were as stable as old dogs, and they did not reveal any flaws at all, and only defended their own city.

If Zhang Xiu is not in Lueyang, someone will inevitably mobilize people. They also have information about Zhang Xiu.

They knew that Zhang Xiu used Yingchuan people to Xi Zhicai as the chief of the Lueyang County, and Wuwei people Jia Xu as the chief of the Qiang Guard. The person who was mobilized in the middle must be one of them.

He is as stable as an old dog, without revealing any flaws. Ji Zhicai, Jia Xu is indeed a talented man, which is not a minor matter. Zhang Xiu has many powerful generals and good counselors, which is really difficult to deal with.

But Yang Fu was also excited while sighing. It was like a master fighting, fighting for internal strength. Yang Fu claimed to be a senior scholar in Liangzhou, and his talent was hard for ordinary people to reach. The stronger Zhang Xiu is today, the more fulfilling he feels, not to mention that if Zhang Xiu was wiped out, and Ma Teng was generous, he would definitely be rewarded with him.

"The general does not need to be discouraged. Although it takes time for General Han to reinforcements, it will definitely arrive. As long as General Han's reinforcements arrive before the reinforcements from Hanting arrive, we will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Xiu and then run around the three auxiliary." Yang Fu held his fists and cheered Ma Teng in an excited tone.

"Yeah." Ma Teng breathed out, his face slowly returned to normal, and he nodded. He thought to himself, "Yes." If Han Sui joined, it would be different, and the situation would change immediately.

However, Zhang Xiu was also a captain of the Qiang protection camp of the Han Dynasty and a general of the border counties. When the war broke out, Zhang Xiu should have sent someone to the court for help.

Before the reinforcements of the court arrived, you can defeat Zhang Xiu.

The key to defeating Zhang Xiu was to first attack Xiangping City, sweep across Lueyang, and cut off Zhang Xiu's retreat. Although Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses were elite, they were defeated without fighting.

....................................................

Unlike Ma Teng who fought to the death, Zhang Xiu had no troops and risked huge casualties to attack Shangji City. He just surrounded the cities on all sides, cut off Li Jue's contact with the outside world, and waited for the opportunity to use the plan.

Of course, the timing of the calculation also comes with the wind.

On this day, the weather is dry and the northwest wind is strong.

Zhang Xiucheng West Camp, near the Central Army's tent. After Jia Xu learned of the summons, he put down the bamboo slips in his hand, walked out of his single room tent, and came to the door of the tent.

"Hahahaha." Jia Xu heard Zhang Xiu's cheerful laughter in his ears, and he couldn't help but think. "It seems that Zhao Yun has made some achievements."

Jia Xu passed a team of Zhang Xiu's personal soldiers guarding outside the tent and entered the tent. He smiled and bowed to Zhang Xiu, who was sitting on the coach and laughing, and said, "General, is it a good news for General Zhao?"

"Wenhe guessed right. Zhicai quickly reported to him. Zilong defeated Chengyi in the west, surrendered his infantry, broke his city and plundered the people, and returned with his baggage. Then the light army rushed to Xiangping to help Liu Pi defend the city. I have no worries about Yang. I can use a plan to earn Li Jue out of the city and then kill him."

Zhang Xiu laughed loudly and happily knocked on the desk with his hands.

"Congratulations to General." Jia Xu was also slightly happy in his heart and bent down to congratulate him again.

"Hahahaha." Zhang Xiu laughed again, then called Jia Xu over and discussed how to use the plan. After the plan, Zhang Xiu ordered the soldiers in the four camps in the southeast, southwest and northwest to rest in the daytime, and tonight, the dragon and the tiger are fierce, preparing for a fight.

On Shangbi City, the flags of the character "Li" also fly in the wind, but compared with Zhang Xiu's flags, they lose some momentum.

Moreover, the soldiers on the city were all depressed.

Although Zhang Xiu did not siege three vacancies and one quarrel like Ma Teng, and his soldiers were not damaged, there is a saying that the murderous aura before the storm came is even more frightening.

Moreover, Zhang Xiu divided the 20,000 troops into four units, surrounded the city, isolated the internal and external news, and built Shangji City into an isolated island.

Li Jue's army only knew that Ma Teng's reinforcements had arrived soon, but he didn't know what was going on outside and how he was not depressed?

"Hey!!!" In the city gate tower, Li Jue was wearing only a single dress and drinking alone. He threw the wine bowl heavily to the ground and sighed.

Before Zhang Xiu was surrounded, Ma Teng's messenger came, saying that reinforcements would arrive soon, so that he could defend the city well.

Now there is no sign of reinforcements, which really makes him restless.

But Li Jue showed this expression when he was alone. After a while of rest, Li Jue asked his personal soldiers to come in, put on iron armor and hang a sword. After the clothes were neatly hung, he held the hilt of the sword at his waist and led his personal soldiers to patrol the city wall with great courage, as if reinforcements were coming, as stable as Mount Tai.

He had to patrol the city wall four or five times a day, and was very diligent, but he did not improve his morale much.

This is because Zhang Xiu invited him to fight with 5,000 elite troops that day, but he did not dare to go out of the city to fight fiercely.

People in Liangzhou admire the strong, while Li Jue's army's military discipline is ordinary, so Li Jue's prestige is naturally greatly reduced.

It was soon night, and Li Jue was diligent and did not go to the city to sleep. Instead, he laid a bed and quilt to rest in the city gate tower, for fear that Zhang Xiu would attack the city wall at night.

After the last inspection of the city wall, Li Jue led his personal soldiers back to the city gate building, took off his armor and washed up, rolled up the bed and went to bed.

"kill!!!!"

Li Jue was dreaming that was not suitable for children. Suddenly, he was awakened by a shout of killing. He almost immediately became impotence and felt a cold sweat.

"Hurry, hurry. Put on armor for me." Li Jue thought that Zhang Xiu had attacked the city wall at night and lifted up the bedding, and shouted.

"No." The personal soldiers guarding outside the gate immediately came in and put on armor for Li Jue. After being neatly dressed, Li Jue picked up a large gun and took his personal soldiers out of the city gate with great momentum to watch.

Then he was in a mess in the wind.

Zhang Xiu was not sieging the city outside, but he saw fires rising into the sky in front of him. Half of Zhang Xiu's camp burned. Killing sounds shook the sky, screams, arrows roaring, blades, and horse hooves were endless.

Seeing this scene, Li Jue and the soldiers on the city had the first thought, both of them were joy. It must have been Ma Teng's reinforcements who came, and then saw Zhang Xiu and others setting up four camps and attacking suddenly.

Zhang Xiu was caught off guard, or inadequate in military strength, and was attacked by Ma Teng's troops and was about to be defeated on the whole line.

"Okay, okay." The soldiers laughed, watched, and shouted happily.

After watching for a while, the soldiers turned around and looked at Li Jue.

At this time, General, should you do something?

For example, if you go out of the city and fight with both sides.

Of course, Li Jue thought of it, but he hesitated. That's right. Not long ago, Ma Teng did send a messenger to defend the city well, and reinforcements arrived soon.

But because of Zhang Xiu's arrangement, he was cut off from the news outside the city.

What should I do if this is a trick?

Li Jue is not an ordinary attendant general, but an elite attendant general. It is not that easy, and he can deceive him.

But Zhang Xiu's performance was so real, the fire soared into the sky and the sound of killing soared into the sky.

"It's a matter of time, the food is ignited, the food is ignited."

"The general has an order to defend the camp to the death."

"Ma Tengxiu is going to be rampant, I am the Wuwei Zhang Xiu." All kinds of noisy sounds kept breaking through Li Jue's eardrums, as if it was really a chaotic battle.

This made Li Jue feel excited again. If he could rush out at this time, wouldn’t it be easy to kill Zhang Xiu?

The fire of hatred continued to rise in Li Jue's heart. At this time, the eyes of the soldiers became the eyes that crushed Li Jue.

The Liangzhou soldiers worshipped the strong, and he had already shown fear last time. At this time, Ma Teng attacked Zhang Xiu's camp, but he did not dare to go out of the city to fight. Where is his prestige? At that time, the army might collapse.

Li Jue's face was gloomy and calm, and then he shouted: "Come on, open the city gate. Let's go out of the city to fight fiercely."

"No." The soldiers were immediately excited and responded to the promise. With Li Jue's order, the morale became high again.

At this moment, there were about 2,500 soldiers guarding the city, and it was too late to gather the soldiers at the other three city gates. Moreover, Li Jue was also afraid that Zhang Xiu's army outside the other city gates would take the opportunity to attack Shangji City, which would be difficult to mobilize the rest of the city gates.

After he arrived at the city, he turned over his horse, took a large gun from his personal soldiers, and ordered: "Open the city gate."

"No." As the soldiers agreed, the city gate was immediately opened. Li Jue shook his big gun and ordered: "Those who take Zhang Xiu's head will be rewarded with 300 gold."

"kill!!!!!!"

"Kill!!!" With Li Jue's roar, the 2,500 Li Jue's horse and infantry all agreed and killed Li Jue one step ahead of him.

Although Li Jue is brave, he is also afraid of death. He will not take the risk of being shot and lead by himself.

The distance between the city gate and Zhang Xiu's camp was not far. Li Juejun quickly arrived outside Zhang Xiu's camp at the speed of charge.
