Huang Zhong and Wei Yan left Taishan behind and gave him a position. The entire Changwu City seized the time to arrange defenses and greatly organize the defensive fortifications to deal with the Tao Shang army that was about to return at any time.
Huang Zhong's guess was indeed correct. Not long after, Tao Shang's army returned to Changwu City again.
This time, Tao Shang dispatched more local barbarians from Yuzhang County to strengthen their numerical advantage, and also borrowed many people from the Baiyue tribes through Huadang.
Tao Jun's strength is stronger, and his determination to capture Changwu County is naturally stronger!
Although Huang Zhong was very confident in his defense arrangements this time, there was only one omission.
That is the south of the city that was attacked by Tao Jun's trebuchets last time. There are still some defenses that have not been repaired. From the outside, the south city now looks like other city walls, but in fact it is a scum project used to paint the surface. It is just a cover-up.
.
Therefore, the top priority is to find ways to delay the potters' attack on the city and strive to complete the repairs to the south of the city.
At this critical moment, Tao Shang's general Zhao Yun began to lead his troops outside the city for days to compete in formations.
He didn't call anyone else, and only asked Huang Zhong to go into battle.
After Huang Zhong learned the news, he immediately called the generals to discuss the matter.
"Zhao Yun has come to challenge this time. As for us defending the city, we should not go out of the city to fight with him at will. However, the strong construction in the south of the city is not complete yet. This is a good opportunity for our army to hold the opponent back.
, My intention is to accept Zhao Yun’s challenge, hold him back, and then step up repairs in the south of the city. Once the work is completed, our army will not be afraid of the potter’s offensive."
After hearing Huang Zhong's words, everyone nodded and felt that it made sense.
But there is one thing that is more difficult to do. Who can fight Zhao Yun?
When it comes to martial arts, only Huang Zhong and Wei Yan can compete with him, but Wei Yan is still a little behind and is no match for Zhao Yun.
Based on the actual situation, only Huang Zhong is the most suitable.
But after all, Huang Zhong is the commander-in-chief of a city, and he has the courage of the three armies. How can he always go out to fight with others when he has nothing to do? If something goes wrong, what should Changwu County do?
Seeing that everyone looked hesitant and helpless, Huang Zhong sighed helplessly and said: "Although it is a helpless move, I still let me fight Zhao Yun!"
When everyone heard that the general was going to fight again, although they all felt that this was really inappropriate, there was no other way to do it. They could only bow their heads in shame and let it go.
At this time, Taishan stood up behind Wei Yan and raised his hands to Huang Zhong: "General Huang is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He is brave enough for the common people. Everything in the city's defense and defense must be decided by the general. How can he go out easily?"
?The villain has never made any meritorious deeds since he surrendered to the general. Now he is willing to go into battle for the general and fight to the death with Zhao Yun!"
Huang Zhong was quite hesitant when he heard this.
He had seen Taishan's martial arts before, so he might not be too worried if he faced someone else. Huang Zhongshi had to worry about the opponent's strength being not inferior to his own.
This is a good seedling. If something goes wrong in the first battle... it wouldn't be a pity.
Seeing Huang Zhong's hesitation, Taishan immediately said: "General, don't worry about the villain. Even though Zhao Yun is great, the villain won't tangle with him too much. If you can win, you will win. If you can't defeat, the villain believes that with my ability
It should be okay to retreat to protect yourself.”
Wei Yan also stood up and spoke for Taishan: "General Huang, since Taishan has this intention, why not give it a try?"
"That's alright." Huang Zhong finally nodded in agreement: "In that case, I will let you fight with the traitor Zhao Yun. If you can't defeat him, remember not to be reluctant to fight and return to the battle quickly. It is important to save your life. I will ask Wei Yan to take care of you from the rear.
For you."
After Taishan heard this, he immediately took orders to prepare. Everyone also went to their respective posts. Wei Yan stayed behind and said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang is so enlightened. It is really a blessing for the three armies."
"Not entirely." Huang Zhong smiled softly and said, "I also want to take this opportunity to observe this child. After all, his origins are quite strange. His words cannot be fully believed. We still need to find out his details."
Wei Yan was not very happy after hearing this and said nothing, but in his heart he despised Huang Zhong for being too busy.
A good warrior will submit to you, and that's it! Do you still want to find out where you came from and what the details are?
Is it possible that the person I went to the mountains and forests to catch was the potter who specially arranged to wait for me there?
Tao has so much time to spare!
…
The next day, Zhao Yun led another group of cavalry and crossbowmen to the city to shout for battle. While he was shouting, he saw the suspension bridge in front of the moat slowly falling down.
Zhao Yun had a look of surprise on his face, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses behind him to form a formation to meet the enemy.
After a while, I saw a heroic young general leading his troops out of the city and forming a formation in front of the suspension bridge.
Taishan rushed out first, holding a sword in his hand, and shouted at Zhao Yun: "Your Excellency is Zhao Yun. He has been shouting in front of our city for several days. He is so rude, why don't you come out and die soon."
Zhao Yun raised the silver gun in his hand, looked at Taishan carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Where did you come from, a wild boy, who dares to act wild in front of Zhao? You are young and it is not easy for your parents to raise you, so hurry up and go back."
, before Huang Zhong comes to the battle, don't lose your life here because of your youth and arrogance, and you will regret it in the future."
Taishan frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhao Yun's words. He galloped out of the battle, galloped back and forth in the field, and shouted: "Zhao Yun, how can you talk about being a hero? If you have the guts to compete with me, you
If you can beat me with one and a half moves, I'll kill you."
Seeing Taishan speak so rudely, Zhao Yun sneered and flew out of formation like a shooting star, heading straight for Taishan.
Taishan took a deep breath, then rode up to confront Zhao Yun.
The two people were as fast as lightning, and they were already entangled in the flash of lightning.
The horses of the two of them were circling in the field, and the weapons in their hands made a sharp clang. They raised their swords and guns at the same speed, and the speed was fast, which dazzled everyone, and ordinary soldiers looked at it in excitement.
It's quite enjoyable, but there's no way to tell.
At some unknown time, the pottery merchant also led Xu Chu, Pei Qian and others to the rear formation and looked into the field.
Pei Qian looked at the fierce fight between the two and said doubtfully: "Prime Minister, Zhao Yun and A Fei are both rare warriors. Now the two tigers are fighting. Although they are pretending to be fierce, after all, swords and guns have no eyesight. If anyone is injured, I'm afraid
This is a huge loss to the Prime Minister."
Tao Shang smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "Guard Pei is so considerate of the two generals. His compassion and compassion are truly incomparable. Tao is deeply gratified... You are so kind."
Pei Qian said with a sad face, "Prime Minister, are you hurting me?"
Tao Shang smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, I am indeed praising you... Don't worry, before letting Ah Fei disguise himself as Taishan and infiltrate into the enemy army, he and Zhao Yun would fight for more than two hours every day.
After the competition, they now have some ideas about each other's moves and routines, and they have a tacit understanding. It shouldn't be a big deal, and this fight is mainly for Huang Zhong. Let's watch it quietly.
