    At this time, the horse tamer, Zuo Ci, and Tong Yuan had led the Wei Jingwei back to the city.  The horse tamer looked at Zhang Liao's leaving figure with a hint of admiration on his face.  Tong Yuan, who had played nearly fifty or sixty rounds with Zhang Liao, also nodded secretly.  Only Zuo Ci stared at Zhang Liao with a dark face, secretly thinking that if he caught this madman, he would torture him in every possible way to let him know that the old man also has a temper!

    The battle at the North Gate is over, let¡¯s look at the battle at the South Gate.  Guan Yu, the guard of the south gate, is not a battlefield rookie like Zhou Long.  Lu Bu's cavalry attack began. Guan Yu first ordered his soldiers to stay still and gather strength to prepare. When Lu Bu's infantry came from behind, he immediately ordered his soldiers to fire round after round of arrows at the infantry, and then ordered them again.  Some soldiers threw down boulders and logs to prevent Lu Bu's troops from getting within a hundred meters of Anyi City.

    Lu Bu¡¯s army and horses were killed and they were unable to fight back. Lu Bu was far away in the east of the river and could not replenish his troops. Seeing that the battle was not going well, although he was angry, he still ordered his troops to retreat.

    At this point, the offensive of the two armies of Lu Bu's army ended.  Lu Bu lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, while Zhang Liao lost more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.  After Lu Bu returned to the camp, he was very angry. Thinking about the tight time, Anyi City was impregnable and difficult to break, and Guan Yu seemed to be defending to the death.  Lu Bu had no idea, so he sent people to Zhang Liao's camp and called Zhang Liao to come over for discussion.

    After Zhang Liao arrived, he first reported the situation of today's battle to Lu Bu. When Lu Bu heard that Zhang Liao had almost captured the North Gate, but was troubled by three old men who didn't know where they came from, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and shouted on the spot that if Anyi was captured, he would be defeated.  Cut these three old immortals into pieces.

    Zhang Liao stood aside quietly, waiting for Lu Bu to retreat from his anger before he opened his mouth to speak.

    "Based on today's battle situation, the generals guarding the North Gate are mediocre and have no battlefield experience. So, why don't my lord gather his troops and horses in one place and attack the North Gate?"

    Lu Bu's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head.

    "No. In this case, Guan Yunchang will definitely lead his troops. If Guan Yunchang is around, the North Gate guard will definitely give up the command to him. With such a concentration of troops at the North Gate, wouldn't it be more difficult to attack?"

    "My lord can use the trick of suspicion. When I came just now, I saw hundreds of households in this small village. My lord can send a few pairs of men to take off the armor of the soldiers who died today and let these people disguise themselves as soldiers.  Then when setting up the formation, he ordered a thousand soldiers in front and the civilians disguised as soldiers in the back. In this way, no matter how good Guan Yu was, it would be difficult to discover that most of the lord's soldiers and horses were puppet soldiers.  .

    "I will lead the army and attack the north gate. As long as the lord can buy me three hours, the north gate will be broken!"  !  "

    Lu Bu's face was solemn. At the same time, he also remembered that before coming, Chen Gong had repeatedly told him to listen to Zhang Liao's words.  After a while, Lu Bu seemed to have made up his mind and nodded to Zhang Liao in a solemn voice.

    "Okay! Just follow Wen Yuan's plan! If Wen Yuan can conquer Anyi this time, I will definitely give you a heavy reward!"

    Zhang Liao's face relaxed when he saw that Lu Bu could listen to his plan.  Since Chen Gong's arrival, Lu Bu is no longer as headstrong as before. He does everything he wants and has his own way. Gradually, he will also listen to the opinions of others.  Of course, most of them come from Chen Gong.  Perhaps Lu Bu has also grown up slowly. Now he is a prince. Unlike before, he was not subordinate to others. Now the direction of the entire power is decided by him.

    "My lord, you have not only given me Zhang Wenyuan the kindness of knowledge and friendship, but also taught me many times and taught me martial arts. I, Zhang Wenyuan, will never be able to repay even one of these great kindnesses even if I die. I, Zhang Wenyuan, do not covet wealth and fame, I only hope to become your lord's  Sharp blade, cut through the thorns for the Lord!"

    Zhang Liao raised his fist heavily and his expression was firm and unpretentious. Lu Bu was deeply moved when he saw Zhang Liao being so loyal.

    "Wenyuan!! If I, Lu Fengxian, achieve great success in the future, I will not treat you badly!!"

    Lu Bu slapped Zhang Liao on the shoulder and promised Zhang Liao.  Both of them are tough men, they don't talk much, they understand in their hearts.  Later, after the two discussed the details of the strategy, Zhang Liao left.

    Zhang Liao took advantage of the darkness of night to lead five thousand soldiers from Lu Bu's camp and secretly left the small village. Lu Bu also began to prepare a plan to deceive the soldiers.

    Lu Bu's two armies in the north and south outside Anyi City had no movement for two days. This made Zhou Long overjoyed and thought that Lu Bu was preparing to withdraw his troops after seeing that he could not capture Anyi City.  Guan Yu didn't think so. He said that Lu Bu would never withdraw his troops in such an anticlimactic manner when he took the risk of attacking Anyi.

    Not only did Guan Yu not relax at all, he also strengthened the defense forces in the city.

    Lu Bujun¡¯s strange silence was finally broken two days later.  There was a lot of fog that day, and everything was misty at first glance.  Lu Bu and Zhang Liao successively led their troops to attack.

    At the south gate, Lu Bu led his army to a stop a thousand meters away from Anyi City, and set up their formation.Thousands of soldiers, and the thousands of soldiers behind are all disguised as villagers from small villages.

    Guan Yu squinted his red eyes and secretly looked at Lu Bu's troops and horses in the mist. Seeing that his troops and horses were in a messy formation, he secretly became a little suspicious.

    At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly galloped on his horse and rushed five hundred meters below the city. He picked up his bow and arrow and shot at the flag on the city that read "Hedongguan Yunchang".

    The arrows were like sparks of lightning, flying out at an astonishing speed. When the soldiers on the city reacted, they only heard a snap and the flag fell down.  The huge flag fell down like a towering tree, shocking the surrounding Hedong soldiers and scattering them away.

    Rumble~!

    The loud noise made when the flag fell to the ground made many Hedong soldiers' hearts beat. Seeing Lu Bu loading his bow and aiming again, many people suddenly became even more panicked.

    "Guan Yunchang, you cowardless person, have you been frightened out of your courage by me, Lu Fengxian? If so, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy!!"

    Guan Yu¡¯s flag was shot down, and he was provoked by Lu Bu¡¯s speech.  Guan Yu's face was still calm, neither happy nor angry, and he shouted coldly to Lu Bu at the bottom of the city.

    "I, Guan Yunchang, stand tall in the world, with an upright mind and body, and no fear. Unlike you, Lu Fengxian, who betrayed his trust, killed his master and his father, and was despised by everyone in the world. If God opens his eyes, he will accept you sooner or later!!"

    "You!! Wow wow wow!!!"

    Lu Bu was so angry that his whole body was on fire. He drew the bowstring to full length and shot another arrow. The arrow pierced the void and hit Guan Yu's face.  Guan Yu held up the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and aimed at the arrow that was shot at him. He swung the sword and split the arrow in two.  Lu Bu shot five or six more arrows in succession, but Guan Yu chopped them to pieces with his sword.

    After ejaculating for a while, Lu Bu also temporarily stopped his hand, with cold eyes, and secretly cursed.

    "Guan Yunchang, I will let you be arrogant for a while! As long as I hold you back, when Wenyuan breaks through the city gate, you will die!"

    And on the other side, the north gate of Anyi City.

    Zhang Liao's army was shrouded in mist. There were countless soldiers and horses. Under the command of Zhang Liao, teams of soldiers rushed towards the North Gate city in a frantic manner.

    Seeing that the number of attacking soldiers was getting larger and larger, Zhou Long became panicked again and shouted for help to Tong Yuan beside him.

    "Tong Gong, the number of enemy troops exceeds ten thousand. Where did Zhang Liao find so many soldiers and horses? Do they have reinforcements? But according to the spies' report, only two soldiers and horses of Lu Bu were seen attacking Anyi. If it happens again  If another army attacks, the spies will definitely report back, and they can¡¯t come so fast!¡±

    At this time, Tong Yuan also had a dark and solemn face. According to the situation in front of him, Zhang Liao had so many troops that it would be difficult to hold the north gate for long.

    Tong Yuan's mind was racing, thinking about various possibilities, and suddenly he seemed to have caught something, his face changed and he cursed.

    "Could it be that this Liao army was drawn from Lu Bu's side!?"

    After thinking about it, Tong Yuan immediately asked Zhou Long.

    "Master Zhou Bo, did Yunchang send someone to send news?"

    Zhou Long was stunned for a moment, wondering why Tong Yuan suddenly asked about Guan Yu. After thinking about it, he thought Tong Yuan wanted to transfer troops from Guan Yu.

    "Tong Gong, my second brother is currently fighting fiercely with Lu Bu. The pressure on the south gate is also huge. There is no spare force to mobilize to the north gate!"

    "No! Master Zhou, you have misunderstood me. It is impossible for Zhang Liao to have so many troops out of thin air. I most likely got them from Lu Bu!"

    "Ah! If this is the case, my second brother will definitely send troops and horses to help the north gate! However, there is no movement on the south gate!"

    "Although I don't know what tricks Lu Bu and Zhang Liao used to hide the truth, there must be a strategy. Now the Lord of Zhou, Bo, you should immediately send a messenger to inform Yun Chang."

    Under Tong Yuan¡¯s guidance, the anxious look on Zhou Long¡¯s face faded a bit.  Although Zhou Long has mediocre talents, he can listen to people's words.  After Zhou Long nodded solemnly to Tong Yuan, he immediately called for a messenger. After a few quick words, the messenger hurried down the city and rode towards the south gate on horseback.

    By this time, Zhang Liao's army had been attacking the north gate for nearly an hour and a half. Many soldiers had rushed to the city gate and hit the gate with wooden stakes.  The defenders on the city were all crazy, throwing rolling stones and logs down the city with all their strength, or firing arrows at the enemy to stop them.  However, Zhang Liao had too many men and horses. Under Zhang Liao's lead charge, his soldiers were infected by his bravery. Every one of them seemed to have been beaten to death. They braved arrows, rolling stones, and rounds.  Mu, rushed straight to the city gate.  Looking at this situation, if the defenders in the city have no other means to deal with it, or reinforcements can come to rescue them, I am afraid that it will not be long before, Zhang Liao's troops will break through the north gate.

    Return to the south gate.  Guan Yu narrowed his eyes again. Lu Bu had been yelling and cursing in the city for an hour and a half. If his fiery temper had been followed by his repeated provocations and insults, he would have launched an attack long ago.  However, Lu Bu changed from his normal behavior and only scolded rather than attacked. There must be a conspiracy when something goes wrong.

    "Guan Yunchang, you are such a shrinking bastard, you can only use third-rate methods to seduce other people's unmarried wives. How can you stand in this world! If you are still a man, then go to the city and fight with me, Lu Fengxian!!  !¡±

    Lu Bu seemed to vent all his anger in the form of scolding. After scolding for a full hour and a half, he was still cursing, and every sentence he cursed was never repeated.  Guan Yu frowned and suddenly turned his attention to the soldiers and horses behind Lu Bu. At this time, the fog dispersed a lot, and Guan Yu could more clearly see the messy formation of these soldiers.

    Guan Yu's expression condensed, and he called Zhou Cang over. After whispering a few words in his ear, Zhou Cang nodded cautiously, immediately pulled out his flying legs and informed the hundred generals of each army on the top of the city. Each hundred generals listened.  After receiving the order, he secretly ordered the soldiers in the army to use the secret of the city wall to set up their bows and arrows.

    After all the soldiers were ready, after a while, a strong wind blew.  After a moment, Guan Yu made a gesture, and at the same time, he drank the word "shoot" without any warning.  Thousands of arrows flew out with the strong wind, flying straight towards the soldiers and horses behind Lu Bu.

    However, this army of soldiers and horses was a thousand meters away from the city gate. Even with the help of strong winds, the wave of arrows formed by thousands of arrows could only shoot about five or six hundred meters.

    But the roaring sound of thousands of arrows in the void and the terrifying formation were enough to frighten many of the people in Lu's army who were disguised as soldiers. They couldn't help shouting and retreating wildly backwards.  As a result, Lu Jun's formation became even more messy.

    When Lu Bu saw Guan Yu suddenly ordering the defenders on the city to shoot, he was still secretly laughing that Guan Yu was so angry with him that he randomly ordered the defenders on the city to shoot.  It can be seen that his soldiers and horses are thousands of meters away from the city gate, and this shot cannot reach his soldiers and horses at all!  However, what Lu Bu didn't expect was that the common people he found disguised as soldiers would be so timid. They were frightened and their formations were in chaos. They hurriedly rushed back on their horses and shouted loudly to stop the chaos.

    Guan Yu kept his eyes fixed on Lu Bu's troops. When he saw that most of the soldiers in his formation had no knowledge of the battlefield, they were frightened by the wave of arrows that could not reach them, and their formations were thrown into chaos. He immediately understood this.  Most of them must not be battle-hardened soldiers, not even rookies who have just joined the army.

    Just at this time, the messenger from the north gate hurried over and said a few words quickly in Guan Yu's ear.  The more Guan Yu listened to Dan Fengmu's words, the sharper he became, and in the end he even sneered.
