With the blessing of Yun Qi, Zhang Liao easily suppressed Guan Yu, who was basically fighting alone, and firmly gained the upper hand.

The battle situation has also been stabilized. Guan Yu's army has been wiped out. Except for a small group that is still resisting, all others have been wiped out.

Just when Zhang Liao thought the battle was decided, he suddenly heard the sound of a large army marching from behind. Zhang Liao's face condensed. This was a large army coming from the direction of Guan Yu's camp. It must be an enemy rather than a friend.

Although Guan Yu's soldiers on the battlefield had little fighting power at this time, Zhang Liao's army had also consumed a lot of physical strength and was slightly damaged. It would be very difficult for them to attack them.

"Hurry up and clear the battlefield, the enemy's remnants are here again!" Zhang Liao shouted.

Contrary to Zhang Liao, Guan Yu looked excited. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Liu Ye was worried about him and led his army to come to the rescue.

"Everyone, hold on! The reinforcements are coming!" Guan Yu said excitedly. At this time, the grudge and estrangement he had towards Liu Ye was completely gone. Every time you learn a lesson, you gain wisdom. After this battle, Guan Yu finally understood.

It's really impossible for a soldier to fight without a powerful counselor by his side. No, he accidentally fell into a trap!

The morale of Guan Yu's army immediately increased after hearing this. They were about to give up resistance and fought tenaciously again. Finally, Liu Ye led the army to fight over and fought together with Zhang Liao's army.

With the assistance of this new force, Guan Yu's sword skills once again regained their original ferocity, overwhelming Zhang Liao. The army under Zhang Liao was also put at a disadvantage by the soldiers brought by Liu Ye, and the situation began again

Favor Guan Yujun.

However, before Guan Yu could be happy for a while, there were shouts of killing from the side again, and countless torches flickered in the darkness, as if there were countless enemy troops coming to kill in this direction.

Guan Yu and Liu Ye looked shocked when they saw this scene.

"Withdraw!" Liu Ye shouted.

When Guan Yu heard this, he also shouted: "Withdraw the troops!" After speaking, he struck Zhang Liao's halberd away with his sword, turned around and galloped away.

A look of surprise flashed across Zhang Liao's face, but he immediately regained his composure and shouted: "Our reinforcements are coming too! Kill, don't let the enemy go! Leave no one behind!"

The situation turned again. Zhang Liao led his soldiers to play the role of pursuers, frantically chasing Guan Yu and Liu Ye's army.

I don't know when, the sky turned white. Zhang Liao, who was rushing at the front of the army, looked at the few remaining Guan Yu's troops running wildly in the distance. He glanced at his soldiers who were exhausted after fighting all night, and gently raised his arms.

With his right hand, he stopped the soldiers behind him.

"The enemy army has been destroyed, let's return to camp."

…

"Takanao, thanks to your quick wit this time, otherwise even if we win tonight, it will be a miserable victory."

There were so many reinforcements! Zhang Liao knew very well that the so-called reinforcements were actually the soldiers led by Fazheng who had escaped a little in advance. Even coming to the rescue would be a drop in the bucket, and the large number of torches before was just a bluff.

Fazheng had no time to joke around with Zhang Liao at this time. Looking at the remaining 5,000 soldiers and the 4,000 prisoners taken by Guan Yu, his eyes were slightly solemn and he murmured: "Isn't this a tragic victory?"

Zhang Liao looked at Fazheng's slightly lost look and said with relief: "This is already the best ending! This time, Guan Yu's army only has a few thousand left, and we still have so many soldiers, so it is already a great victory."

.”

Yang Xiu also nodded when he heard this. This was indeed the best ending he could think of. You must know that what they faced was not an army of fish and belly. Guan Yu plus Liu Ye, coupled with an army of 50,000, they might not be able to fight head-on.

He is really no match. Fortunately, Guan Yu's character has a relatively large weakness, and there is a gap between him and Liu Ye, so he can be tricked.

Fazheng was only depressed for a moment, but he soon recovered: "Wenyuan, what are you going to do next? Should you continue to support Wancheng or retreat first?"

With so few soldiers left, it stands to reason that Zhang Liao had no other choice but to withdraw his troops. But Fazheng knew that Zhang Liao would definitely not withdraw his troops just like that.

Zhang Liao looked at the few soldiers under his command, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Xiaozhi, you bring two thousand soldiers to suppress these prisoners and retreat first. I will take the remaining army to support Wancheng."

Fazheng looked at Zhang Liao and said solemnly: "Wenyuan, you understand. Going to Wancheng now can be said to be a narrow escape from death. Are you sure you want to go?"

Zhang Liao nodded: "Wancheng is an important town for our army, and there is no room for failure. Don't worry, I will never act recklessly during this trip. If we can't defend it, I will definitely kill it with Wenpin."

"I'll go with you!" Fazheng said with a smile, then turned to look at Yang Xiu: "Junior brother, I'll leave the escorting of the prisoners to you."

Yang Xiu looked at Fazheng with concern: "Brother, are you sure you want to go? In your current state, otherwise I should go with General Wenyuan!"

Fazheng smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I've done such cruel things, so what's there to worry about? You can go with peace of mind, and if possible, bring an army to support us."

Yang Xiu looked at Fazheng and nodded with respect. Indeed, it is more appropriate for Fazheng to follow Zhang Liao at this time. Yang Xiu's strategy is not enough to deal with this situation. With so many prisoners, there must be one who can be relied on.

Only someone can escort you, and you are the best choice.

…

At the foot of Wancheng City, Zhang Fei saw that his attack on the city was easily repelled by Wenpin again, and he was filled with hatred.

"Where did this Wenpin come from? Why is his ability to defend the city so strong!" Zhang Fei said bitterly in his heart.

For so many days, his attacks have yielded little results. Not to mention how many enemy troops he killed, he even climbed the city wall a few times. Wenpin's ability to mobilize soldiers and commanders is too strong, but he only has 30,000 defenders.

, which made it difficult for his 50,000-strong army to even touch the city walls.

"General, such an attack on the city will only increase casualties. We'd better besiege instead of attack and wait for news from General Guan or Cao Cao!" After several days of meaningless siege, the deputy general couldn't bear it anymore.

Dissuaded.

Wancheng, an important military town, coupled with Wenpin, a general who is good at defending, is really a hard nut to crack. Not to mention that there are only 50,000 troops now, even if Guan Yu's total of 100,000 troops was included in the beginning, it would be difficult to win it for a while.

.

"Damn it! If I had known it would be like this, I should have captured Wancheng together with my brother from the beginning!" Zhang Fei shouted angrily.

Wenpin has never been impeccable. In the battle of Jingzhou, he surrendered directly to Yuan Shu under the persuasion of the noble family, without showing any ability. Who would have thought that this weakling in everyone's eyes would be so difficult to deal with!

Zhang Fei sent people to persuade Wenpin, but Wenpin immediately scolded him back. The other party seemed to be really loyal, or in other words, he had no interest in defecting to Liu Bei.

But it’s no wonder that Wenpin is like this. Although Yuan Shu was tricked by Liu Bei this time and almost fell into danger, it is clear to each other who is stronger and who is weaker. Why should Wenpin abandon the powerful Yuan Shu to join Liu Bei, who has no future?

What? Unless the city was captured, Wenpin wouldn't even think about this problem.

Wenpin also had integrity. He surrendered for the first time because Liu Biao was not his lord at all, and Liu Biao also surrendered to Yuan Shu. And who is Liu Bei, just a lucky royal grassroots, why should he surrender?

If he surrenders when he encounters an enemy, who will dare to reuse him in the future?

Just like Zhang Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was okay to surrender to Xiang Yu for the first time, because he had a fig leaf to resist the Qin Dynasty. The second time Liu Bang tried to persuade him, he would rather die than surrender, and it was the same reason. The ancients valued honor and loyalty, so shamelessly
