Chapter 1323: Hitting East and West

On the geographical map of mountains and rivers, Bai Xiaowen could clearly see that Zhang Wei and Yang Ren, two Hanzhong generals, were both at the east gate!

You can think of it with your toes, there must be a change in the plan, and the east gate has become a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

After Ge Xuan saw it, he was also a little surprised, and said: "I'm afraid Ma Chao has gone more than half of the way now, and it's too late to recover."

Bai Xiaowen took a breath, calmed down, and called the military advisor Xun You: "How many generals are there in the battalion?"

Xun You said: "There are still 20,000. Headed by Han Qiong, Cao Hong, Juhu and other generals, there are still more than ten generals guarding the camp."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "That's enough."

Xun You asked, "Does Duke Yan have a plan?"

Bai Xiaowen said: "Those who go can't be persuaded, those who come can still be pursued. The previous distribution is enough to convince the enemy that I have fallen for it, and they will definitely concentrate the army at the east gate. I just need to lead a pro-army and attack the west gate in a detour. , will be able to destroy the city."

Xun You praised: "Yan Gong's amazing machine is unfathomable."

...

east gate.

At four o'clock, a white flag was raised from the top of the city. The east gate suspension bridge was lowered silently, and the city gate opened.

Ma Chao was impatient, and immediately mobilized the vanguard to enter the east gate first, followed by Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu behind him.

On the top of the city, Zhang Wei and Yang Ren both squatted behind the arrow piles on the city wall, and saw Ma Chao enter the city.

Yang Ren said: "This person is not Yuan Xi, but Ma Chao from Xiliang. What should we do?"

Zhang Weidao: "The ambush has already been set up, so it has to be launched. Killing Ma Chao is also a loss of Yuan Xi's arm."

With the sound of a cannon, the city was surrounded by dense crowds, and a group of crossbowmen stood up.

Ma Chao raised his head hastily, and when he saw this familiar scene, he yelled badly, and immediately ordered the whole army to turn around.

Zhang Wei shouted loudly: "Ma Chao! You have been tricked! Close the door for me!"

Thousands of arrows are fired, as urgent as a shower.

Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu grabbed Ma Chao's left and right sides, brandished their knives and guns, called arrows for Ma Chao, and protected Ma Chao to retreat. Countless other soldiers were shot to death by arrows and crossbows.

However, Zhongfu today is different from Zhongfu in Chang'an back then.

Back then in Chang'an, the army was defeated, and the desperate Ma Chao was ambushed by Bai Xiaowen. Even if he could rush out of the city, he would not escape death.

Now in Nanzheng, the army is outside to meet him. As long as Ma Chao can rush out of the city, he has a high probability of surviving.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, Ma Chao roared, his whole body was covered with a layer of blood, he raised his hand with a gun, and shot out angrily!

The tiger-headed Zhan golden gun flew out, bringing with it a turbulent and sharp airflow. Under the infusion of powerful force, it accurately hit the hinge of the city gate, and penetrated a foot, but the handle of the gun was still shaking slightly.

With a creak, the city gate was stuck, leaving only a gap one person wide. No matter how hard the gatekeeper pushes, the city gate cannot be closed, let alone locked.

Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu were also hit by several arrows at this time, but they were rare leaders, this little injury was not a hindrance, they rushed forward one after another, with swords and guns at the same time, killing the small soldiers in the city gate.

Outside the city, Zhang Ying, Zhang Xiu and other generals saw the city gate closed and the suspension bridge raised, knowing that they had hit the trick, they all rushed to meet them. But there was a moat, and Zhang Lujun had been prepared for a long time. Arrows and crossbows were fired on the city wall, making it difficult for Yuan Jun to approach the city gate.

East gate of Zhang Lujun, hatchback side room,

Each of them has an elite team that fights out to prevent Ma Chao from escaping from the city.

Ma Chao lost his tiger-headed Zhan golden gun, and the horse he was riding was also stabbed down. He could only draw out the sword around his waist and slay the enemy. The thousands of soldiers he led were plotted against by an ambush, their morale fell to the bottom, and they were unable to fight at all.

...

Ma Chao, who was in the midst of the chaos, came and went and clashed. Wherever the sword light rises, the enemy must be killed. Although he was hit by three arrows, he was twice as brave.

General Zhang Lu's army on the city wall saw this scene and turned pale.

Zhang Wei pointed to Ma Chao and said, "If this person is not eliminated, he must be a great disaster for us in Hanzhong!"

Yang Ren glanced at Yuan Jun outside the city, and said: "There are so many Yuan Jun visitors, they should all come to the east gate. We must make a quick decision, so as not to join forces with Yuan Jun and Ma Chao and lose the east gate instead. "

Zhang Wei asked Yang Ren to be in charge of guarding the east gate, and he personally went to Zhang Lu to send an order to dispatch more troops to defend the east gate.

...

When Zhang Lu was in the city, he heard that Ma Chao was the first to enter the city.

I am happy that Yuan Jun got the trick, but I am worried that Yuan Xi did not enter the city.

He is accompanied by counselor Yan Pu and mysterious bamboo hat man Mr. Shan.

Mr. Shan said: "Master, you don't have to worry. Even if you can't kill Yuan Xi this time, if you lose Ma Chao, the morale of Yuan Jun will definitely be demoralized. Our army only needs to hold on for a few months, and Yuan Jun will definitely retreat."

Yan Pu asked, "Why did Mr. Shan say that Yuan Jun must retreat?"

Mr. Shan took off his bamboo hat, revealing a middle-aged man with a beard and a beard, but he couldn't hide his heroic spirit.

He said slowly: "Fang today, all the princes in the north have been wiped out by Yuan Xi. Except for Liangchuan, only Liu Cong of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Jiangdong are left in the south. The two families of Sun and Liu are afraid of Yuan Xi, so they will definitely not tolerate it." He took over the two Sichuans. I have already predicted that within a month, Sun Liu will definitely take action, threatening Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places, forcing Yuan Xi to return to the army."

Yan Pu said with admiration: "Mr. Shan has a great opinion."

Zhang Lu calmed down a little.

Suddenly Zhang Wei arrived and reported that Ma Chao at the East Gate was brave, and that the Yuan family's army was out there to meet them, and they needed to send more reinforcements.

After Zhang Lu asked the counselors for their opinions, he ordered the deployment of reinforcements, and Ma Chao must be captured and killed, and he must not be released.

The messenger went, but Zhang Wei stayed behind and sat under Zhang Lu's head.

"Brother said that Yuan Xi is rare in the world. Now it seems that he is just an ordinary person who fell into Mr. Shan's scheme."

Zhang Wei praised Mr. Shan: "Mr. Shan is the real man of wisdom."

Mr. Shan shook his head and said: "Is there anyone in the world who has no plans? I can take a little advantage in this calculation. I just have a mind and no heart. Yuan Xi's wisdom, I can't ask myself..."

"Report--"

Before Mr. Shan could finish his sentence, a small school staggered towards him.

"Report to my lord! A large number of enemy troops have appeared at the west gate, and they have already climbed to the top of the city! Look at the banner, it is Yuan Xi's personal guard!"

Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei stood up at the same time.

"What? Simon...

The two walked out of the mansion quickly, followed by Mr. Shan and others in a hurry.

However, at the west gate of Nanzheng City, the flames shot up into the sky, and the shouts of killing kept coming and going. Yuan Jun had already broken through the gate and entered the city.

As the defeated troops arrived one after another, Zhang Wei grabbed an elite leader he knew and shouted, "Stop! How did you lose Ximen so quickly!"

The elite leader said with a mournful face: "The general doesn't know something, but Yuan Xi is a magician! As soon as he raised his hand, the brothers around us lost the power to resist, and even the talisman water given by the master didn't work. ah!"

"Isn't there a si drum? Why didn't you beat the si drum to break Yuan Xi's black magic?" Zhang Lu asked.

"General Zhang Cheng has tried it, but it doesn't work!" said the elite leader.
