    Zhang Liao hurriedly moved out of the way and narrowly avoided Yan Yan's second sword strike. Before he could recover, Yan Yan suddenly swung his sword and slashed Zhang Liao in the waist!

    At the critical moment, Zhang Liao's momentum changed, he shouted loudly, and the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand turned into a red thunderbolt, blocking Yan Yan's third sword at an incredible speed.

    Yan Yan¡¯s bell-shaped eyes were full of surprise. His three-sword sword style had always been successful in the past, and few people could stop it.  Even if a general with extraordinary martial arts blocks it, he will still suffer some injuries.  Zhang Liao is the first person in history to do it so easily and as if he has mastered it!

    While Yan Yan was surprised, Zhang Liao was also surprised in his heart. He secretly noticed that the nearly forty-year-old veteran in front of him should not be underestimated. V Liao's face tightened again, and suddenly the square-shaped painted halberd in his hand buzzed and vibrated.  There was a strong smell of blood and a strange explosion. His face changed, and he immediately pulled the reins and took a few steps back.

    At the same time, Zhang Liao suddenly made a halberd stance, using the Bloody Hell Bahuang Halberd Technique.  I saw Fang Tian's painted halberd, Ruju's domineering aura, swiping it with a bang, Yan Yan blocked it with a knife, and the huge violence knocked Yan Yan's ghost-headed machete away. V Liao took advantage of the situation and swung the painted halberd, and the painted halberd was  It turned into a ray of light and flew away. Yan did not dare to resist, and quickly moved away. Fang Tian's painted halberd brought out a fierce fire on his breastplate.

    Yan Yan saw that the situation was not good, like a tiger that was forced to death, he pounced without waiting for Zhang Liao to attack again.  Yan Yan's arms were violently moving, and he was slashing quickly with his sword. Liao Zheng was about to attack, but he didn't expect Yan Yan to counterattack so quickly. He quickly switched from attack to defense, swung his painted halberd back, and blocked it hastily.

    Then the two people launched a wave of attacks, fighting each other non-stop. The swords and halberds were flashing so fast that people couldn't catch their shadows. The soldiers on both sides looked at each other in a daze. They exclaimed repeatedly. They were killing each other faster and faster. They fought for nearly fifty or sixty people.  In the round, although they seemed to be equally matched, Zhang Liao actually had the slight upper hand. However, Yan Yan was experienced and held on to his position, successfully neutralizing several of Zhang Liao's killing moves.  Zhang Liao was not impatient and had his own thoughts in mind.

    Suddenly, Zhang Liao suddenly showed an opening. Yan Yan took advantage of the situation and struck with his sword. Zhang Liao escaped from danger and drew his horse to escape. However, Yan did not pursue him and laughed loudly behind him.

    "Hahaha! Zhang Wenyuan, you want to deceive me, but I won't pursue you!"

    It turns out that Yan Yan had noticed that Zhang Liao was pretending to be defeated and fled, so he lured him to pursue him. When he was in a hurry and was unprepared, he suddenly launched an offensive.  Therefore, I used this strategy in the hope that I could succeed with one blow.

    Zhang Liao was about to flee when suddenly he heard Yan Yan's words and knew that he had discovered his plan, so he turned around and shouted loudly.

    "Yan Xibo, let's stop here for today, do you dare to fight again tomorrow!?"

    "Hmph! Why wait for tomorrow? I'll come and take your head right now!"

    At this time, Yan Yan also secretly realized that Zhang Liao had invited him to fight in order to delay time. After Yan finished speaking, he ordered the entire army to charge together and kill Liao. He then pulled up his horse and left, leading the hundreds of elite soldiers to rush back to the camp.  Yan Yinjun pursued the Wen army all the way to the camp. Pang De was well prepared and ordered his crossbowmen to shoot random arrows on the high slope to stop the killing. He supported Zhang Liao and Liao quickly rushed back to the camp. Yan Yan withstood the wave of arrows and saw him.  The army was on guard for a long time, so they did not dare to take it forcefully. After scolding for a while in front of the stronghold, they led the army to withdraw to Anhan City.

    Chang Qi, the guard general of Anhan, had already received orders from Zhang Lu and knew that Xichuan would come to rescue troops. When he saw Yan Yan leading his army, he was immediately relieved and ordered his soldiers to open the city gate to welcome Yan Yan's troops into the city.

    On the other side, Zhang Liao and Pang De saw that Anhan had reinforcements coming to help, and they were eager to discuss under the tent.

    "At this time, our lord is besieging Jinzhu. Jinzhu will soon have Kelu with nowhere to escape. Once Jinzhu falls, he will definitely die! Our top priority right now is to defend Xichuan and rescue the troops for our lord.  We are unable to rush to Jinzhu. Once Zhang Lu is dead, we will retreat to Jinzhu and join forces with our lord to fight against Xichuan soldiers and horses. What do you think?"

    "What General Zhang said is true, we should act accordingly!"

    After hearing this, Pound nodded in agreement.  Afterwards, Zhang Liao and Pang De discussed for a while before they dispersed.

    Early the next morning, Yan Yan led his troops to fight. He led his troops to three miles away from Wenjun's stronghold and set up their formation. Yan Yan stood under the gate flag and shouted loudly, saying that he wanted Zhang Liao to come out of the stronghold to fight.

    Zhang Liao ordered Pang De to command the soldiers to be on guard, then mounted his horse, raised his halberd, and rushed out of the stronghold to fight Yan Yan. When Yan Yan saw Zhang Liao running out, he also flapped his horse, roared loudly, and brandished his sword to meet the enemy.  The halberds kept flying and bumping, and they stopped in one place and killed people for dozens of rounds. Zhang Liao suddenly retreated again. Yan did not pursue him and sent his troops directly to attack Wenjun's camp.

    Zhang Liao rushed back to the stronghold first. He looked at Pang De and understood. Seeing Yan Yan's soldiers coming, they both ordered the crossbowmen to stay still until they were close. There was a sound of cannon and more than 2,000 crossbowmen fired at the same time.  The wave of arrows surged towards him, and Yan Yan rushed back eagerly. The hundreds of cavalry in the front rushed forward too quickly, and most of them were killed or wounded. Seeing this, Liao and Pound each led an army together.He left the camp and attacked the crowd of people in the Xichuan Army. Yan Yan was still in shock. Zhang Liao suddenly came to kill him. He danced the Fangtian Painted Halberd and attacked wildly. Yan Yan responded quickly and his sword moves became more and more messy. He was pinned down by Zhang Liao.  ¡ÓDe led another army, rushed left and right, and killed the Xichuan army in chaos.

    At this moment, two cannon shots suddenly sounded on the left and right.  I saw Zhang Ren leading an army to attack from the left, and Li Yan leading an army to attack from the right. The total strength of the troops was nearly 20,000, and they swarmed in overwhelmingly.  It turned out that Zhang Ren led most of his troops to Anhan a few hours ago. When he heard that Anhan guard Chang Qi had come to report, Yan Yan led his army to attack the other village first. Ren originally wanted to lead the army and take advantage of the situation to make a sneak attack and attack in one fell swoop.  Capture his stronghold.

    But Zhang Ren did not expect that when he arrived, Yan Yan's vanguard army would be in danger, so he sent his troops to rescue him.  I saw Zhang Ren flying with his horse, dancing with his spear, and approaching Pang Dede with his knife to block him. The two men fought fiercely, and the troops on both sides fought bravely.  Li Yan then led his troops to Yan Yan's place and attacked Zhang Liao together with Yan Yan.  Li Yan came to help, and Yan Yan's pressure was greatly reduced. The two generals danced with two weapons, and Zhang Liao was temporarily at a disadvantage. V Liao fought against the two generals. Although he was at a disadvantage, the dangerous situation made him high-spirited to fight, and Fang Tian danced with his halberd.  It was so tight that they killed Generals Yan Yan and Li Yan.

    At the same time, on the other side, Ren and Pang De had been fighting for dozens of rounds. Pang De was secretly surprised when he saw that the general in silver armor and black robe used a marksmanship that was somewhat the same as Zhao Yun.

    Pang De swung his knife fiercely, swung away the pear-shaped steel spear stabbed by Zhang Ren, and asked in a loud voice.

    "What is your relationship with Zhao Zilong, the Marquis of Gendan of our army!?"

    "Zhang is his second senior brother!!"

    Zhang Ren shouted in response, and at the same time he kept attacking, swinging his spear straight into Pang De's heart. De was shocked, and while holding a knife to block it, he secretly paid attention. No wonder the marksmanship used by this general was quite similar to Zhao Yun's marksmanship.

    Although Zhao Yun's Youlong Fantian Spear is his own creation, it is based on Tong Yuan's Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear.  What Zhang Ren used was the authentic Hundred Birds Chaofeng spear technique, which was naturally somewhat similar to Zhao Yun's spear technique.

    "You are actually the senior brother of the Marquis of Ling Dan, why don't you join the general of the Hussars and assist our lord with the Marquis of Ling Dan!"

    Pang De was beating and shouting, but Zhang Ren's face darkened when he heard this, he fired his gun fiercely, and shouted back sharply.

    "Wen Bufan has great ambitions, disrespects the imperial court, and colludes with the traitor Cao! My junior brother does not know what is right and wrong and surrenders to the traitor. I will clean up the family in the future!!"

    "No ivory can come out of a dog's mouth!! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you!!!"

    Pang De was furious when he heard this. His sword moves suddenly became violent. Ren's face was cold, and the pear-shaped steel spear flew down quickly, like a heavy rain, and he was as close as Pang De in killing.

    The two armies fought against the generals, and the soldiers fought fiercely against each other. The melee continued until night. The officers and soldiers of the two armies were exhausted and retreated back.  The Wen army had only 6,000 troops, while the Xichuan army had nearly 30,000 troops, which was five times its strength.  However, due to Yan Yan's loss of power earlier, the formation was in chaos, and the Wen army had two brave generals, Zhang Liao and Pang De, on the front line to resist most of the Xichuan army's offensive.  Therefore, there is no winner or loser in this battle between the two armies.  The Wen army lost more than 2,000 soldiers, while the Xichuan army lost more than 3,000 soldiers.

    After Zhang Liao and Pang De returned to the stronghold, they held discussions under the tent.

    "Xichuan's reinforcements are numerous and powerful. Our troops are weak and I'm afraid we won't be able to resist for too long."

    Pang De frowned deeply and said with a bit of worry. Liao Rui's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer. When De saw this, he thought Zhang Liao had nothing to do, so he was hesitant.  After a while, Zhang Liao suddenly opened his mouth and said.

    "I have a plan, but I don't know if it will work? Ling Ming always has a lot of strategies. Just listen to it and see if it works."

    "Oh? General Zhang might as well say something."

    "Now that the other army has the advantage of human strength and hopes to rescue Jinzhu as soon as possible, it will definitely attack our stronghold. In this case, we might as well prepare to withdraw our troops and ambush in the Jinshan section. When Zhang Ren sees us withdrawing our troops, most of them will rush  Come and chase. When the trumpet sounds, you and I will set up an ambush and capture Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other Xichuan generals with one drum, and their troops will naturally flee in shame!"

    As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, Pang De's red face lit up with joy, he covered his palms and shouted.

    "General Zhang's plan is brilliant, I can't do it any better!"

    Zhang Liao heard that Pang De also agreed, and he was even more determined. After the two discussed the details, they made their own arrangements.  At three o'clock that night, Zhang Liao and Pang De suddenly led their troops to withdraw from the camp and retreat in the direction of Wang Jinzhu.

    At dawn tomorrow, the Xichuan scouts found out that the Wenjun camp was empty and hurriedly reported to Zhang Ren. Yan, Li Yan and other generals were all overjoyed when they heard this. They all advised Zhang Ren to pursue the attack in a meandering way. However, Ren frowned. After thinking for a while,  Only then did he order all the troops to prepare for the pursuit, but he ordered them to proceed cautiously and not to rush forward rashly. Ren was extremely prestigious in Xichuan, so Yan Yan, Li Yan and other generals followed the order, and the Xichuan army advanced slowly.

    But it was said that the Xichuan army was chasing Zhang Liao and Pang De, when we arrived at Jinshan, it was already dark. Ren saw that the night in the mountain was hazy, so he taught the generals to be more cautious. At the same time, he sent more scout teams to explore the road at various intersections ahead.

    About two hours later, the Xichuan army was marching, and there was a gorge in front of them. Suddenly, a scout came back to report that there were traces of a large number of people and horses passing by around the gorge, and they were afraid that there would be ambushing troops. Yan and Li Yan both looked down.  , eyes narrowed, seeming to be thinking.  As for some Xichuan generals, they said that Zhang Liao and Pang De had been gone for a long time, so there was no need to worry, so they should hurry up and rush to chase them.

    "Ha ha ha ha!!!!"

    ??Suddenly, Zhang Ren raised his head and laughed. All the generals were suspicious. After he finished laughing, he said.

    "Zhang Liao and Pang De are both famous generals in the world. They are brave and good at fighting. Even if they are at a disadvantage, they will fight to the end in order to turn the tide. They rarely retreat without a fight. Today Zhang heard that the soldiers were coming to report that these two generals  Withdrawal, I am suspicious. Now it seems that these two generals have a plan. If my prediction is correct, there will be an ambush in the gorge!

    snort!  !  !  My lord does not like war. He only hopes to guard Xichuan and stabilize the people.  Therefore, we, the Xichuan generals, rarely appear in front of the world, so it is natural that we are despised by others.  That Zhang Wenyuan and Pang Lingming underestimated us, today I want them to try the strength of our Xichuan Army!  "

    Zhang Rang's eyes were cold, he turned to look at the generals behind him, and then shouted sharply.

    "Unexpectedly, the other army underestimated us, thinking that we would be ambushed by them, so I, Zhang Guyi, came up with a plan! General Yan, you first lead an army that is completely unprepared, rush into the mouth of the gorge, and lure the ambush troops.  The horses are out. Li Yan, please immediately lead all the light cavalry around and rush to the entrance of the gorge. When the ambush troops and horses are out, let's fire off the cannons. You and I will enter the gorge mouth together. We must capture Zhang Liao.  , Pound and the others surrounded and killed him!"

    ¡°Oh!!!! The last general is waiting to receive his orders!!!!¡±

    Yan Yan and Li Yan both raised their hands and accepted the order, roaring, their eyes full of excitement, and at the same time they also showed admiration for Zhang Ren. Not only did Ren have great martial arts skills, but his ability to march and fight was also extraordinary. Ren was now Nishikawa.  The Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Horses commanded all the troops and horses.  This shows how much Liu Zhang relies on him.

    Tong Yuan sat down with his three disciples. Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun were all outstanding figures in the world.  Among them, the best in terms of martial arts is undoubtedly Zhao Zilong, who single-handedly defeated the 100,000 Xiliang army.  But when it comes to the ability to march and lead troops in battle, Zhang Ren is the undisputed number one among the three.
