The three-point cold star almost flew past Dianjie's body like an iron tower, but Dianjie was unable to escape the fourth-point cold star's attack in the end. With the crisp sound of a sharp weapon cutting flesh and blood, Dianjie felt a sudden numbness on his left shoulder and lowered his head in shock.
, I saw that a wolf-fang arrow had penetrated my armor, completely piercing my left shoulder, and the feathers at the tail of the arrow were trembling...
"Mother, this man is so powerful in archery!" Dianjie was horrified and turned his horse away.
"Don't leave! Take one more arrow from me, Wang Zheng!" The king's policy horse chased Dian Jie so hard that he challenged Dian Jie to a fight.
"Wang Zheng!?" Dianjie felt coldly in his heart and said to himself: "I remember you, one day I will pay for today's shame, hum!" Then he used his last strength to shout: "The cavalry separated to the left and right, and retreated clockwise.
, the archers fired a volley to suppress the formation, and slowly retreated, the sword and shield soldiers pressed forward to cover, and cooperated with the spear soldiers to resist the horse formation! Fifth brother, you are no match for him, come back quickly!"
Liu Hu was no longer reckless at this time. When he heard his elder brother Dianjie calling him, he hurriedly rode up to Dianjie because Liu Hu also knew the seriousness and knew that his elder brother was seriously injured and the reason for his hand was
It's all because of myself, because my skills are not as good as others!
Zhang Chunye happened to have good command of the army, but he did not suffer from chaos because of his general's defeat. This only proved one thing, that is, the general knew how to use troops, and it also showed that the commander managed the army well and had good orders.
Zhang Chun saw that there was nothing to gain, so there was no need for unnecessary sacrifices. His family resources were very thin and he could not fight a war of attrition. He raised the three-pronged fork in his hand and ordered: "Retract the troops and return to the city!" The soldiers knocked on the drums.
The victory drum returned to the city singing victory songs.

Thirty miles outside Yuyang City, Zuo Aoran's army commander's tent
Zuo Aoran flicked his cloak and sat down on the big tiger-skin chair. Tian Feng, Chen Deng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu Chu, Dian Jie, Ouyang Lie, Zhu Ci, Liu Quan, Liu Hu, Gao Ping
, Gao Huai, Zhang Rong, Zhang Xu, Ma Sheng, Yang Ming, Wang Xiong, Li Bao, Zhang Tai, Diao Linxiang, Xing Lie, Murong Ping and Gao Tanglong, Jiang Yiqu, Lei Xu, He Yi, He Man, Lu Kuang,
Lu Xiang's generals were on both sides.
They all stared at Zuo Aoran like wolves, their eyes full of burning heat. Whether it was Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other trusted generals, or new generals, or even ordinary soldiers under his command, or even Qiang soldiers who had recently surrendered, Zuo
Ao Ran is getting closer and closer to the existence of a god in their minds.
Ever since Zuo Aoran came out to command the army, Zuo's army has hardly suffered a defeat! It seems that as long as Zuo Aoran is around, everything has hope. Even if the sky falls, they still believe that Zuo Aoran will
Ran Neng led them to push it back. In short, nothing in this world can stop Zuo Aoran, and no one can defeat Zuo Aoran!
"Mr. Ji, have you brought back the bodies of the fallen soldiers?" Zuo Aoran asked.
Yan Liang replied respectfully: "Replying to my lord, the total number of soldiers killed in the battle is one thousand one hundred and thirty-seven, including three captains of thousands, five captains of centurions, seventy captains of ten, and two hundred captains of corps. All the remains are
They’ve all been brought back!”
"Yes!" Zuo Aoran nodded and said: "The names are engraved on the monument of meritorious service, and the ashes of all the fallen soldiers are collected and sent to Qipan Mountain when they return to the army. The families of the fallen soldiers are rewarded with three cows and sheep.
Ten pigeons, ten coins, and all the children will be raised by the general's government until they reach adulthood. The women will get married and the men will join the army."
A trace of warmth surged in Yan Liang's eyes, and he said solemnly: "The last general will take orders."
Zuo Aoran's eyes fell on Liu Hu and asked: "Fifth brother, what is going on? How could the eldest brother be so seriously injured, and why did you rush in so rashly?"
"Zhang Chun's family has good martial arts skills. He can be called a general. He holds a three-pronged sky-holding fork and is invincible. Originally, the eldest brother and he were evenly matched, but Zhang Chun faked defeat and the eldest brother chased him.
He, in the end, fell into the villain's plot. The villain shot seven arrows in total. Oh! By the way, that person also reported his name, what was his name!? Ah! Yes! His name was Wang Zheng! It was Zhang Chun
The deputy general used a Xuanhua axe, but I didn’t expect his archery skills to be so powerful!" Liu Hu said.
Zuo Aoran nodded and said: "When I go to battle tomorrow, I will personally test Zhang Chun to see how high his martial arts skills are!" After a pause, he said: "Eighteenth brother, it will be up to you tomorrow.
Don’t let Brother Wei down!”
"Brother Ninth, just watch it! As long as he dares to shoot arrows, I will let him go around and never want to be a human again in this life!" Murong Ping waved his fist and said proudly.
"We will defeat Yuyang tomorrow, capture Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and avenge these three arrows for my elder brother!" Liu Hu waved his arms viciously, accidentally causing many injuries on his body, and suddenly grinned in pain.

Yuyang Emperor's Hall
"The Generalissimo is indeed very brave. Today's battle has greatly increased the prestige of our country. The Generalissimo should be the first to take credit. Come on! Give me some wine!" Zhang Ju said to Zhang Chun with a smile on his face.
Zhang Chun looked neither happy nor angry. He took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He raised his fist to Zhang and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The Generalissimo is very tired today. Why don't we hang up the battle-free card tomorrow and wait for the Generalissimo to rest for a few more days. After this period of fatigue, we will go out to the city to fight. Please take a rest," Zhang Ju said with concern.
.
Hanging up the war-free card!? As soon as Zhang Chun heard this word, his face turned ugly. If he couldn't hold on, could he wait for death? He raised his fist to Zhang and said, "Thank you for your great love for me, your Majesty. My health is fine.
Tomorrow we can mount our horses to fight, it won’t be a problem at all, and tomorrow our subordinates will definitely be able to behead the enemy generals and return home, greatly defeating the spirit of the Han army!”
Zhang Ju's eyes widened and he said: "My words are the imperial decree. Is it possible that the generalissimo still wants to resist the decree?"
Zhang Chun raised his fist to Zhang Ju and said respectfully: "I don't dare. It's just that I have some doubts and can't hold on. But when waiting for reinforcements, should we wait for Shanggu Nanlou's troops? Or Qiuliju's troops in western Liaoning? Or in eastern Liaoning."
Su Puyan’s subordinate? Or Wuyan’s subordinate in Youbeiping? Could it be the white wave and yellow turban thieves of the two brothers Guo Tai and Guo Da!?”
"King Qiu Liju has sent a letter, saying that they will defeat Gongsun Zan's troops in the near future. At that time, they can help us overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty, make me the emperor, and share the Han Dynasty with them, and rule the north and the south.
Mutual non-aggression. So I decided to abandon the city in three days and move closer to Qiu Liju's tribe." Zhang Ju said with a look of longing and longing.
Zhang Chunyi cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty..."
Before Zhang Chun could finish his words, Zhang Ju interrupted and said: "I have made up my mind. You, a mere general, should not say anything more. I will abandon the city in three days and move closer to Qiu Liju's tribe! If you dare to say more,
If you say anything, you will be punished for resisting the imperial decree!" After saying this, he walked away.
"..."
The next day, Zuo Aoran led the army to the outside of Yuyang City. He looked up and looked like this: Hey! Good guy! A war-free sign was hung above the city head of Yuyang City. He sent a detective horse to check the other three gates. The detective horse reported back.
There are also no-war signs on all doors.
"Oh haha! You really come up with whatever you want! God help me Zuo Aoran!" Zuo Aoran cleared his throat and said loudly: "Gong Ji (Yan Liang), Bu Jun (Wen Chou), Zhong Kang (Xu Chu) obey the orders, each
Lead our troops to camp outside the east, west, and north gates. I want to trap the rebels to death in Yuyang City."
"Got the order!" Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Xu Chu responded and rode off.
"Gao Lan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Shengping (Gao Tanglong) listened to the order and each led their troops to camp in the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest corners of Yuyang City, forming a large siege. I want to surround Yuyang.
The water can't drain out." Zuo Aoran said.
Gao Lan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Gao Tanglong clasped their fists on their horses and said, "I have the order!" Then they rode off and led the troops away.
Zuo Aoran looked at Lei Xu and said: "Order Lei Xu to lead the Taiping camp troops to attack the eight counties of Yuyang County one by one: Guaping, Wangxi, Anle, Hunu, Pinggu, Luxian, Yongnu, and Quanzhou.
In the end, Yuyang was isolated. When will General Lei pacify the eight counties and when will I launch a general attack on Yuyang?"
Lei Xu cupped his fists at Zuo Aoran and said, "Xuding will live up to your lord's expectations!" Then he rode his horse and led the troops away.
"Gao Ping is the deputy vanguard and leads his troops to advance slowly towards Gongsun Zan's troops. Dian Jie, Ouyang Lie, and Liu Quan lead 30,000 elite Northern troops to follow. Soon I will lead a large army to catch up with you. Be careful! Once Gongsun Zan's troops are attacked,
If we are defeated, we will definitely lead our troops to rescue them with all our strength." Zuo Aoran said.
"Yes!" Four people responded.
"Zhu Ci led 5,000 Beigong elites as the front camp, Murong Ping led his troops and horses as the left camp, Gao Huai, Zhang Rong, and Ma Sheng led 5,000 Beigong elites as the right camp, Ali Tuotie led his troops and horses as the rear camp, and the rest
The generals will follow my commander to set up camp in the central army camp." Zuo Aoran gave orders in an orderly manner.
All the soldiers agreed with a loud voice, and the Zuo Family Army camp was built in a hurry. It didn't take much effort, and three of the four camps in the southeast, northwest and northwest had been built. When the camp at the four corners of Yuyang City was also built,
At that time, Zuo Aoran's Chinese army camp was also completed. This means that there is strength in numbers.

Yuyang Emperor's Hall
"Now that Yuyang is surrounded and besieged on all sides, I wonder what the generalissimo can do to defeat the enemy and break through the siege?" Zhang Ju asked with a panicked look on his face.
"I said that we should start a war with the Han army outside the city and keep the Han army ten miles away from the city. How could the current situation be the same? But you just want to defend the city and avoid fighting. You still naively want to count the numbers.
In the future, if you abandon the city and leave, you will think that the Han army is all fools. If you don't fight, they will of course surround you. This is all military common sense!" Zhang Chun wanted to return to his thoughts and resentment, no matter what,
They were both grasshoppers on the same rope. They couldn't run away from him or jump over themselves. He raised his fists towards Zhang and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I really don't have any good strategies. There are only two strategies for now."
On the way, I dare to ask Your Majesty, when will the reinforcements from the Wuhuan people arrive at Yuyang?"
Zhang Ju was stunned and suddenly thought, yes! There are reinforcements from the Wuhuan people!? Why do I have a pig brain! As soon as the reinforcements from the Wuhuan people arrive, won’t my siege of Yuyang City be solved?
! But then he thought again: "That's not right! Qiu Liju only said that I would lead his troops to move closer to him, but he did not say when he would arrive in Yuyang! How could this happen?" Zhang Ju didn't know for a moment.
What should I say? I hesitated for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason.
"Your Majesty, when will the reinforcements from the Wuhuan people arrive in Yuyang?" Zhang Chun asked again.
Zhang Ju didn't know how to answer. If he said he didn't know, the morale of the army would definitely be disturbed. Once the morale of the army was disturbed, the battle would be impossible to fight, and he would have no choice but to die! So Zhang Ju thought about it.
After a long while, he said: "Ah! This... I heard from the Generalissimo that he has two strategies to defeat the enemy. You might as well tell me and let me know more about them."
Zhang Chun let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Back to Your Majesty, I have two strategies. One is, if the reinforcements from the Wuhuan people can arrive within five days, Chun Ding will defend the city for five days to ensure your Majesty's safety.
Secondly, if the reinforcements from the Wuhuan people cannot arrive within five days, as long as they defeat Gongsun Zan's tribe, Chunding can protect your majesty from the Yuyang siege and protect your majesty from Lulong fortress."
