Chapter 640 The dogs in Wuling bite each other, and Zhang Fei has no choice but to ask for help!
Yuan Xingqin and Shan Tingsi, who fought desperately to break out of the siege, led the remaining troops under their command, hid all the way, and finally returned to the vicinity of Lingling City!
Seeing that there were still a few miles away from their base camp, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as everyone continued to move forward, Shan Tingsi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at him in horror as if he had been struck by lightning.
The Lingling city wall is in disarray in the distance.
What comes into view are the incomplete city walls, the fluttering "Niu" and "Yuan" banners, and countless corpses and broken limbs that have not been dealt with in time, as well as seeping into the soil and even forming water.
A pool of sticky, black blood.
"Yuan... General Yuan, Lingling City... are all over!"
Yuan Xingqin's eyes widened in horror. He couldn't believe that the scene before him was real. They had not returned for a few days. Why did such a big change happen to Lingling City?
Just when everyone was in a trance, suddenly sharp-eyed soldiers saw the gate of Lingling City opened, and an army of about three thousand people filed out of the city and rushed in their direction.
"General! General!!!"
"The troops in Lingling City are coming towards us!!"
Shan Tingsi and Yuan Xingqin were brought back to reality by the soldiers' words. When they saw the menacing Yuan Jun, their hearts trembled, and then chills spread throughout their bodies.
"All officers and men listen to the order and retreat quickly. Retreat immediately!!!"
Shan Tingsi and Yuan Xingqin subconsciously gave orders, and then they ignored their tired bodies and led their soldiers to escape towards the north with all their lives.
…
The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit said with regret: "General Niu, the enemy has discovered our traces. We are far away from each other. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up!"
Seeing this, the Bull Demon King sighed and replied: "These thieves are smarter than mice. They will run away immediately when they see us. Forget it, let's withdraw!"
Niu Demon King and others who returned without success led their troops back to Lingling City. At the same time, Shan Tingsi, Yuan Xingqin and others who were running away in a hurry stopped after they realized that Yuan Bing from behind was not pursuing them anymore.
He stepped down and took a deep breath.
"General Shan, where should we... go next? To Jiangxia or to Shangyong?"
Listening to Yuan Xingqin asking himself, Shan Tingsi's eyes burst out with a terrifying light, and he said slowly and sonorously: "General Yuan, in my opinion, neither Jiangxia nor Shangyong can go!"
Yuan Xingqin was immediately shocked, and then he asked with confusion: "What does General Shan mean by this?"
Shan Tingsi immediately explained: "Now that Yang Jian and Yuan Shu have formed an alliance, Yuan Jun has been invited to assist in the battle. Currently, he has captured Guiyang County, Lingling County and Changsha County. I am afraid that it will not be long before he can capture the four counties of Jingnan.
Then concentrate on attacking Jiangxia County!
With just the few people under our command, we may be killed by Yuan Shujun and Yang Jianjun before we even see our lord.
Rather than die in vain, it is better to go north to support General Dou Tongyuan and the others. As long as we can help General Dou and General Yu defeat Yuan Shu's army in Fancheng, we can turn the tide and change the situation of the war!
At that time, General Dou Tongyuan, General Yu Wang and General Dou Yihu led a large army to assist Jiangxia County. These three divine generals, plus you and me, can definitely give it a try with Yang Jian and Yuan Shu's coalition forces."
Listening to what Shan Tingsi said, Yuan Xingqin's eyes flashed with excitement, and his heart was burning, and he immediately said: "Without further delay, let's set off now and go north!"
…
In Wuling County, war is raging and scorched earth is everywhere!
After Zhang Fei led his army into the territory of Wuling County, within a few days, he heard that Wuxi barbarian leader Shamoke had joined forces with the bandit Wang Jian (the ancestor of the former Shu) to declare war on the forces of Shen Faxing and Xiang Siduo.
After learning the information about the war between various forces in Wuling County, Zhang Fei suppressed his inner restlessness. He led his army to hide in Qingping Mountain, watching the fire from the other side, and watching the tiger fight from the mountain!
Within the next half month, Wuxi Barbarian leader Samoko led his 20,000 barbarian troops to forcefully destroy Shen Faxing's forces. He captured Shen Faxing alive and beheaded him in public to boost his army's prestige.
At the same time, the bandit Wang Jianna also fought and won consecutively. He led his 8,000 bandits to defeat Xiang Siduo's 15,000-strong barbarian army, and killed Xiang Siduo among the rebels. There are more than 8,000 barbarians, and they have become a powerful force in Wuling County on par with Samoko's power.
After successfully annihilating the forces of Xiang Siduo and Shen Faxing, Shamoko and Wang Jian agreed to divide Wuling County equally. However, in fact, both sides were secretly stepping up preparations for war, preparing to annihilate each other in one fell swoop and then become the king of Wuling County!
"General Zhang Fei, this is the information I gathered during this period. Please take a look at it!"
After receiving the information from the soldiers, Zhang Fei stared at it and read all the information. Then his face darkened and he cursed loudly: "I thought these two losers Xiang Siduo and Shen Faxing could hold on for a while longer. Time can at least consume more of Wang Jian and Shamoko's strength. As a result...his grandma's more than 40,000 people were all destroyed in less than half a month."
Zhang Fei yelled angrily, frightening the soldiers around him to dare not say a word. After his anger subsided a little, he called his close soldiers with a gloomy face and ordered: "Now Wang Jian and Shamoko in Wuling County The strength of the Fang forces is too strong, and it is simply not something that we can contend with. Now take my handwriting with you and go to Lingling County to find General Niu Demon King and ask them for help!"
The soldier nodded his head like a fool, and after receiving the order, he quickly set off, mounted his fast horse, and drove non-stop towards Lingling County.
Looking at the soldiers leaving, Zhang Fei's tiger eyes as big as copper bells shot out with majestic murderous intent. At this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He would unite with Samoko, the leader of the Wuxi Barbarians, to annihilate Shan. Bandit Wang Jian’s strategy!
Since Samoko, the leader of the Wuxi Barbarians, is evenly matched with the bandit Wang Jian, he will join forces with Samoko, who is less powerful, to destroy Wang Jian first, and then take advantage of Samoko's weakness to eliminate or incorporate him in one fell swoop!
"This strategy requires the right time, the right location, and the right people. All three are indispensable and must be carefully considered."
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei felt that he had no advisers under his command to help him, so he wrote a letter and sent it to Yuan Shu, asking Yuan Shu to send an adviser to help.
time flies!
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
After receiving Zhang Fei's letter for help, the Bull Demon King and the Fire Spirit Virgin Mary from Lingling County decided after discussion that the Fire Spirit Virgin Mary would stay in Lingling City, while the Bull Demon King would lead three thousand soldiers and horses.
In addition to rushing to the rescue of Zhang Fei, the Bull Demon King also forcefully asked Yang Xiu and Yang Xin, two idiots, to bring their troops and horses together to rush to Wuling.
