Before dawn, Zhang Xiu ordered eight thousand troops and horses and rushed toward Xinye County.
This time, he can be said to have gathered all his elite troops, including two thousand Xiliang cavalry, and vowed to take Xinye County in his hands.
Now that Liu Bei's troops are out, the new land must be empty.
Zhang Xiu was well aware of the importance of military speed and did not dare to delay at all. He bypassed Jiyang that night and arrived at the Nine Women's City Camp. A few years ago, Cao Peng walked out of the Nine Women's City Camp and changed his destiny.
After Zhang Xiu arrived at Jiu Nu City, he was less than fifty miles away from Xinye County. So he slowed down and ordered to stay in Jiu Nu City for rest.
After marching all day and night, the soldiers were extremely tired.
Although Zhang Xiu is fierce and strong, time is not forgiving after all, and he has passed his peak years...
The empty Nine Girls City, not a single person was seen.
It is said that as early as a few years ago, when Cao Cao was conquering Huyang, Liu Biao ordered all the people in Jiu Nu City to evacuate and move to Weizi Township or Xinye County. Therefore, Jiu Nu City has sunk into ruins, and
The former Nine Girls City Camp was overgrown with weeds and looked a bit desolate, which made people feel sad.
"Big-eared thief, is there any movement?"
"There has been no response yet... Chen Dao of Anzhong County is still rectifying the county town and pacifying the people. Liu Bei seems to have set off to attack Rangcheng."
"good!"
Zhang Xiu couldn't help laughing, "God help me here! The defense of Xinye must be empty today, so we can take it in one go. Give me the order, the men should rest early, have breakfast at the ugly hour tomorrow, and attack at the Yin hour and Mao hour... I want to do it before dawn.
, troops came to Xinye City and caught him off guard. Hey, by the time Liu Bei reacted, Xinye had already fallen into my hands."
"Good morning, General!"
The soldiers immediately began to flatter him, making Zhang Xiu laugh out loud.
After nightfall, the camp gradually became quiet. Occasionally, a few horses neighed, echoing over the Nine Girls City camp.
Zhang Xiu has the habit of reading before going to bed, so after dinner, he was not in a hurry to rest. Instead, he sat under the oil lamp and read a military book. After a long day's journey, he was really tired. Zhang Xiu looked at it.
His eyelids began to tremble, his head sank, and sleepiness came over him. The sound of banging outside the tent indicated that it was past midnight. He put down his book, lay down undressed on the couch, and fell asleep unconsciously...
...He dreamed that he captured Xinye and beheaded Liu Bei and his men. Standing on the top of Xinye County, he laughed loudly, and there was a bloody light in front of his eyes...
"General, general wake up!"
Just when Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, a burst of rapid shouting suddenly woke him up.
Zhang Xiu sat up quickly, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
Zhang Xiu hadn't woken up yet and said instinctively: "If the enemy attacks, the enemy will attack..."
He fell down, but as soon as his head hit the wooden pillow, he suddenly woke up and turned over to sit up again.
"What did you say?"
"General, Liu Bei's army is attacking at night!"
"Ah, meet the enemy immediately."
Zhang Xiu said, hurriedly put on his clothes and returned home, rushing out of the tent.
Soldiers had already prepared his horse and carried a gun for him. He rushed forward, got on his horse, and held the big gun in his hand...

Not far from the main camp of Nine Girls City, a general riding a white horse and holding a two-foot-long gentian spear looked at the distant camp.
He suddenly raised his gun and waved it in the air.
From the wormwood behind him, two thousand archers surged out.
These archers crouched and approached the camp of Nine Girls City. When they were about a hundred steps away from the camp, they stopped, took out the special arrows from Hu Lu, polished the arrows, then bent their bows and nocked them.
Aiming at the Nine Girls City camp.
"Fire the arrow!"
Buzz!
With a sound of strings, a row of rockets rose into the sky and flew towards the Nine Girls City camp.
As soon as the first row of archers fired, the second row of archers bent their bows, nocked arrows, and shot into the sky. The third row, the fourth row... the archers were arranged in four rows, with five hundred people in each row. Thousands of people in each row.
When the planned rocket took off and flew towards the Nine Girls City camp, the bewildered guards on the tower were stunned... When they saw the rocket entering the camp, landing in the weeds, and suddenly burning up.
Only then did the guard react and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The enemy is attacking, there are enemy troops attacking at night..."
Before he finished speaking, a rocket flew towards him and hit him in the chest with a loud bang.
The guard screamed and fell down from the watchtower. His brains exploded and he died on the spot... It was Mengchun and it was raining. But for some reason, the weeds encountered the rockets and immediately burned, emitting thick black smoke.
The entire Nine Girls City camp was suddenly in chaos!
Zhang Xiu raised his gun and mounted his horse, but when he saw a burst of fire in front of his eyes, he was stunned.
This fire spread too fast!
No, I fell into a trap!
There was already something to ignite the fire in those weeds, otherwise the fire would not have spread quickly. If this is the case, it means that Liu Bei had already taken precautions. It was a lie for him to conquer Anzhong and attack Rangcheng, but to lure himself into the bait...
if it is like this……
"Break through, follow me to break out!"
Zhang Xiu broke into a cold sweat.
His thoughts and every move were all in Liu Bei's hands, and it could be said that he knew everything.
This opponent is really formidable. Liu Bei didn't seem to be so powerful before. Has he made any progress since reaching Jingzhou?
At this moment, a loud shouting of killing suddenly came from outside the camp.
In the darkness, it was not clear how many Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were coming from all directions, and instantly poured into the Nine Girls City camp.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A group of soldiers surrounded the two men and climbed up to take a look.
Under the cover of the yellow umbrella, both of them were tall. One was wearing a moon-white crane cloak and holding a feather fan. He was quite burly, while the other was slightly thinner. He was wearing a green shirt and had a smile on his face.
"Military advisor, you really know what's going to happen."
The young man in the crane cloak raised his hands and praised.
The frail middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Xiu is a reckless man, not worth mentioning.
But if something happens to this embroidery, Cao Cao's thieves will take revenge. Hou Dun and Li Tong are close at hand this summer, and no more than three people will come. Next, Kong Ming needs to take the trouble to put in many good words in front of Liu Jingzhou and borrow some soldiers.
Come right over here."
Zhuge Liang nodded, "As long as my lord can capture Nieyang and Jiyang counties this time, how can Liu Jingzhou not support it?"
"Haha, that's not bad at all.
However, the Jingxiang family has always been hostile to the lord, and Kong Ming needs to resolve it."
"Clearly understand!"

Zhang Xiufang led his men out of the camp gate and saw a general with a white horse and silver spear charging towards him.
"Zhang Boluan, stop leaving, Changshan Zhao Yun is here."
While he was talking, the general came up with his spear and stopped Zhang Xiu.
Zhao Yun?
never heard of that!
If Zhang and Zhang were imprisoned, Zhang Xiu would have to be more careful. But this Zhao Yun... looked to be about thirty years old, so he was not worth mentioning. Zhang Xiu was not afraid, and went forward with his gun. The big gun flicked, distracted.
Then he stabbed. But before he could stab halfway, he saw a flash of silver light approaching. Zhao Yun's spear was as fast as lightning.
Zhang Xiu was startled and said to himself: So fast!
After all, he has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience. The iron gun in his hand was turned upside down, and the opponent's silver gun exploded with a clang. But Zhao Yun did not flinch. The silver gun in his hand shot faster and faster.
It was heavy, like thousands of pear blossoms blooming. Zhang Xiu was so shocked that he did not dare to underestimate his opponent, so he shook his head and fought with Zhao Yun.
Who is this guy?
How come you have such martial arts skills? Why have you never heard of it...
The more Zhang Xiu fought, the more frightened he became. Zhao Yun's silver spear was not only fast, but also powerful. The more he hit, the more powerful he became.
The two men circled around for more than ten rounds, with no outcome in sight.
A fast horse rushed out from the rebel army, and a young general on the horse shouted loudly: "General Zilong, don't panic, Lu Ji is here."
It was too late to say it, but it was soon. Lu Ji waved his halberd and stepped forward.
"Tatarji? You are not dead!"
Zhang Xiuke recognized this young general as Lu Bu's pretender.
When Lu Bu joined Dong Zhuo, Lu Ji was only a teenager. After such a long time, although Lu Ji has grown up, his appearance has not changed much. Especially his obvious mixed-race features, Zhang Xiu recognized him at a glance.
Lu Ji is wearing Tang Ni treasure armor, with a lion jade belt, and in his palm is a square-shaped halberd.
At first glance, Zhang Xiu thought it was Lu Bu who was here... After Lu Bu's death, the Lu family fled overseas. Zhang Xiu thought that Lu Ji had followed him. Unexpectedly, he turned to Liu Bei... Moreover, he looked like a fool.
Not bad.
To be honest, Lu Ji's abilities are far different from Lu Bu's.
Fighting alone, ten Lu Ji are no match for Zhang Xiu.
However, Zhang Xiu was killed by Zhao Yun and was a little embarrassed. There were shouts of killing all around, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were everywhere in the fire, chasing his Wancheng soldiers to kill him. Zhang Xiu was already a little anxious, and when Lu Ji came over
, immediately made Zhang Xiu feel inexplicable pressure. He knew that if he continued to fight, he might be trapped in the Nine Girls City camp.
So without saying a word, he fired a shot, turned his horse and left.
Zhao Yun wanted to catch up, but was stopped by more than a dozen lieutenants on horseback.
He was not in a hurry, and his silver spear danced wildly, one after another, and the silver light drew strange arcs in the firelight. In an instant, Zhao Yun killed most of the dozen lieutenants. And Lu Ji came to help from the side, and also
Killed two generals in a row...
However, in just this moment, Zhang Xiu had already fled.
"Don't leave Zhang Xiu!"
In the Nine Girls City camp, cries of killing continued to echo, one after another.
Zhang Xiu dragged his gun and ran away in a panic. Just after running a mile or two, he suddenly saw a general wearing golden armor, holding a male and female sword, slashing at the insurgent army.
"Liu Bei?"
Zhang Xiu was shocked and overjoyed.
As long as Liu Bei is killed, he will still win this battle!
"Big-eared thief, take your life!"
Zhang Xiu cheered up, leaped on his horse, drew his spear, and rushed towards Liu Bei.
Some people say, didn't Liu Bei besiege Zhang Quan in Rangcheng?
That's a cover!
In fact, Liu Bei did not want to attack Rangcheng at all. Xunchen offered his advice: Liangzhou is currently in turmoil and Hedong is in war. The Cao thief was detained by Yuan Shang in Yecheng and could not escape for a while. Now is the time for the lord to take action.
If you attack Anzhong first and then Rangcheng, Nanyang County will be in chaos. Once Nanyang is in turmoil, chaos will also break out in Xudu, and the general trend of the world will also change accordingly.
Liu Bei said: "I am attacking Rangcheng, what if Zhang Xiu rescues me?"
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang said: "Zhang Xiu will never rescue Rangcheng... If I were Zhang Xiu, I would take this opportunity to capture Xinye."
"Doesn't that mean I can't attack Rangcheng?"
"No, my lord still wants to besiege Rangcheng, but he will besiege instead of fighting... He will attack Rangcheng in the open, but actually capture Zhangxiu."
Zhuge Liang showed his talent when he was just starting out.
The strategy he and Xun Chen made was to attack the east and west, lure the snake out of its hole, lure Zhang Xiu out, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop. As for the soldiers and horses besieging Rangcheng, they were only led by Guan Ping. At this time, Guan Ping was afraid that he had already retreated to Anzhong.
Already.
Zhang Xiu's eyes turned red when he saw Liu Bei.
He jumped on his horse, twisted his gun, and rushed towards Liu Bei, vowing to take Liu Bei's life.
Speaking of Liu Bei, he is not the kind of incompetent person. The two swords in his hands are called swords, but they are actually dragon and bird rings. They are about five feet long and weigh ten kilograms each. He can dance ten kilograms on a horse.
The large ring shows that Liu Bei's arm strength is not small. From the time he raised his army in Zhuo County to the present, Liu Bei has experienced hundreds of wars, large and small, and often takes the lead and charges forward. If he says that he has no force, it is definitely an injustice to Liu Bei. But this force
, it also depends on who you compare yourself with.
Liu Bei had no problem dealing with ordinary people, even third-rate and second-rate generals.
But if he was to deal with a top-notch general like Zhang Xiu, he was powerless. Seeing Zhang Xiu charging at him like a ferocious spirit, Liu Bei was also frightened. Without saying a word, he swung his swords and chopped down a Xiliang soldier.
It's time to fight.
"Zhang Boluan, why don't you dismount and surrender!"
After he shouted these words, he suddenly turned the horse's head and urged the horse to leave.
Zhang Xiu was stunned!
Do you want me to dismount and surrender on the front foot, and then run away on the back foot?
But he immediately understood that he had been teased by Liu Bei!
He was furious in his heart, "Big-eared thief, where are you going?"
As he was talking, Zhang Xiu spurred his horse to give chase. Several white-eyed elite soldiers stepped forward to stop him, but Zhang Xiu swung his big gun and struck the giant python, turning over and killing a bloody path. Liu Bei was running in front, and Zhang Xiu was running in front of him.
Xiu chased after him. Before he could chase him very far, he heard a huge thunder like thunder: "Bo Luan, my son, Zhang Fei from Yan is here to die."
A black horse rushed out from the side.
Immediately, the general with a leopard head and eyes, looking majestic, is none other than Third Master Zhang Yide.
His Wuzui horse was snatched away by Cao Peng and given to Gan Ning. Later, when he defected to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao gave Zhang Fei another good horse in order to win over Liu Bei. However, in terms of quality, it was not as good as the original Wuzui horse.
Horses are so spiritual...
Zhang Xiu was shocked and raised his gun to fight.
In the distance, Liu Bei had already reined in his horse, and when he saw Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiu fighting together, he burst into laughter.
"Zhang Boluan, you can't escape with your wings now, why don't you dismount and surrender?"
Having said that, he raised his swords and urged his horse to charge...
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people!
Zhang Xiu had fucked all eight generations of Liu Bei's ancestors in his heart. However, he also knew that he could not be reluctant to fight...
Not to mention that he was not Zhang Fei's opponent, even if he could defeat Zhang Fei, he would be exhausted after a long battle and would eventually die. Since it was impossible to kill Liu Bei, he should leave quickly. Thinking of this, Zhang Fei
Xiu feigned a shot and was defeated. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei chased him from behind, but Zhang Xiu fled in embarrassment.
Finally, I saw the side entrance of the camp.
It was quiet outside, and there seemed to be no one around. Zhang Xiu quickly urged his horse to speed up, and when he was about to rush out of the camp gate, he saw a group of school swordsmen rushing out from behind the camp gate. A general, with a red face and a beautiful beard, was lying down.
He has silken eyebrows and red phoenix eyes, and is wearing golden armor and a parrot-green war robe. He jumps off the horse and is nine feet tall, with a horse on his hip and a big sword in his hand.
"Zhang Boluan, Guan is here, waiting for you for a long time..."
