On the city tower, arrows were falling like rain.

On the long street, arrows were also raining down.

Before taking ten steps, Deng Aijun fell down one after another.

Deng Ai raised his sword, and the soldiers around him held shields to protect him.

But more and more people are falling, making the situation one-sided.

"Father!"

Finally, Deng Zhong also came to persuade him.

Deng Ai could beat Tian Xu, but he would not beat his own son.

Looking back, I saw that many soldiers had turned around and fled.

"Don't leave, old traitor Deng Ai!" Almost the whole city was shouting, and the shouts were mixed with bows and arrows.

Deng Ai was so furious that he shouted to the sky: "Young man Yang Zheng, please stop being so arrogant!"

More and more people fell in the rain of arrows. Deng Zhong grabbed Deng Ai and said, "Father, retreat quickly! I will avenge you someday!"

This is also what most soldiers think.

Deng Ai was furious, Duan Zhuo also stepped forward to hold the other side, and the two of them worked together to lift Deng Ai up and retreat in panic.

Retreating to the city gate, Duan Zhuo cupped his hands and said, "General, you can retreat, but my subordinates will not be able to rear!"

Deng Ai was a strict man, but after all, he still had a few confidants.

Duan Zhuo is one of them.

Born in the Duan family of Liangzhou, he was both civil and military. After joining the army, he was promoted to Sima by Deng Ai, and he repays this with his life today.

"Hai Ran!" Deng Ai also woke up from his mad dog state, "Where is Tian Xu?"

Tian Xu was about to escape from the city gate, but was targeted by Deng Ai again. He had to come back, and he didn't dare not to come back, "The general is here!"

"You come to break up the rear." Deng Ai left with Deng Zhong and Duan Zhuo without saying anything.

Tian Xu and dozens of soldiers stood blankly at the city gate...

"Don't leave, old thief!" Liu Heng was wearing armor and weapons, weighing about sixty or seventy pounds, and there was no way he could catch up.

Yang Zheng, who was in the middle formation, never expected that Deng Ai would turn around and run away, "Luo Huzi's cavalry is chasing us!"

Call——

The war horses neighed, and dozens of horsemen rushed out of the infantry formation and charged towards the city gate.

The corridor at the city gate was already narrow, but after dozens of riders rushed in, it became even more congested.

But a fire broke out in the city gate. Even though the people were not afraid, the war horses retreated uncontrollably and became crowded into a ball, unable to advance or retreat for a moment.

Yang Zheng climbed directly onto the city wall.

Looking at the northern city, among the rolling hills and stone mountains, Deng Ai had already withdrawn from the city.

The terrain of Beicheng makes it difficult for the cavalry to catch up. If they catch up, they may not be able to defeat them.

Yang Zheng sighed in his heart, he was still a little short!

Why did Deng Ai retreat at the last moment?

If Deng Ai can be kept, then the situation in Yongliang...

The Yongliang situation will only become more complicated.

The governor of Yongzhou was all dead, and he and the Luoyang court completely fell out with each other, leaving no room for change.

Even if Sima and his son did not want to harm themselves, if a governor was killed, they would step up the siege of Xiping under pressure from the central government. It would be a real siege on three sides, and the entire Yongliang would come over.

When the time comes, Guo Huai will definitely be pushed to the front row, and the governor of Liangzhou will also be replaced...

The existence of Deng Ai can also indirectly check and balance Guo Huai.

It is most beneficial to Xiping if Yongliang maintains the current situation.

At least so far, Yang Zheng does not have the courage and strength to rebel.

The reason why this battle was won was because of a lot of luck.

On the one hand, it was because of my understanding of Deng Ai, so I was cautious and did not fall into Deng Ai's tricks.

On the other hand, he also took advantage of the gaps between Chen Tai, Guo Huai and Jiang Wei and found a foothold.

If there is an open rebellion, Chen Tai will be in the north, Guo Huai will be in the east, and Xiping will have no escape.

As a person, you should not belittle yourself, but you should not be blindly arrogant either.

Only by fighting without defeat can we endure.

Therefore, Deng Ai cannot die in his own hands. As for whether he will die elsewhere, that is another matter. Yang Zheng cannot control that far.

It just depends on whether Jiang Wei has this look in his eyes.

"No need to chase." Yang Zheng ordered.

Defeating Deng Ai this time has already boosted his confidence. Any victory will have a psychological advantage.

If you can defeat him once, you can defeat him a second time.

Just like if you can climb a mountain, you can climb it a second time.

After this battle, there will be a brief peace.

Looking at the mountains to the north, Yang Zheng felt relaxed and happy. Xiping will usher in a new stage.

"Deng Shizai, see you later!" Yang Zheng yelled.

The sound was transmitted back and forth between the mountain walls, "We will see you later, we will see you later..."

The figure on the hill suddenly stopped, and a person could be vaguely seen turning around and yelling, "My mistake will make me famous..."

Then the man suddenly fell to the ground and was carried away by the people around him.

Only the echo of "Shu Zi became famous" continues to circulate.

Are you mad at yourself?

Yang Zheng was stunned for a while. If Sima and his son were blamed on him, it would be a bit unfair.

Deng Ai is already over 50 years old, which is definitely considered "elderly" in this era.

Liu Heng and others didn't care, they roared with laughter.

"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!" Thunderous cheers resounded in the city.

This battle lasted for nearly a month. In the early stage, Deng Ai had been suppressing him, and he had had enough.

Meng Fei escorted the prisoners into the city, pushing the atmosphere in the city to its climax.

When the scouts came to report, Meng Guan and Gong Feizhi cooperated with each other and captured the western camp, capturing 4,000 Deng Ai's troops and 11 generals.

Only four thousand of Deng Ai's men remained and fled northeast.

"General, this battle is enough to make the world famous!" Meng Fei laughed.

Deng Ai was promoted by Sima Yi himself. Beating him was almost a slap in the face of Sima and his son.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

It's just that Deng Ai now is far from reaching the heights in history.

"It is too much to boast that it is famous all over the world. If you had not fought hard, how would we have won today?" Yang Zheng bowed his hands and saluted the surrounding soldiers.

"General..." The soldiers were all very moved.

People in this era are not so frivolous.

Compare yourself to others, if you treat them well, they will work hard for you.

In order to entertain the powerful Qiang chieftains, Dong Zhuo killed his own cattle to entertain them.

Yang Zheng ordered the Poqiang treasury to be opened, and in addition to necessary grain, other property and captured materials were all rewarded to the soldiers.

The cheers of mountains and tsunamis once again sounded in Poqiang City.

Shanggui.

Guo Huai did not control Longxi, but stationed troops in Tianshui. Many thoughtful people saw his intentions.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

All three hundred cavalrymen in Luoyang were killed, and Wang Ling's sister was sent back to Chang'an.

It has to arouse the imagination of many people.

It doesn't really matter what the truth is inside.

The important thing is that Wang Ling's sister is still alive, and Governor Guo does not want his wife to die.

Guo Huai held a piece of silk in his hand, his eyes wandering over the flying fonts, but his expression was uncertain.
