    In the midst of lightning and flint, Huang Zhong withdrew the red knife in his hand and blocked the gun blade in time when it was only a millimeter away from his face.  Huang Zhong glared, yelled angrily, and tried his best to drive away the Gentian Shining Silver Spear with his knife.  Zhao Yun took advantage of his strength and continued fighting with Huang Zhong.

    At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly heard shouts from behind.  It turned out that Ma Chao and Yan Yan followed Zhao Junjun from the alley.  Each takes his own way and kills from the left and right wings.  Zhao Yun's expression changed drastically, he shouted shamelessly, fought hard to fight off Huang Zhong, reined in his horse and hurried back to the formation.  Huang Zhong also didn't know why Ma Chao and Yan Yan suddenly killed behind Zhao Yun's army.  When Huang Zhong was surprised, Zhang Ren closed the door and saw that Huang Zhong didn't know how to let go of the arrow and missed this great opportunity, so he shouted loudly.  But the distance between the two was too far, and the sound of fighting broke out again on the battlefield.  Huang Zhong didn't listen at all.  By the time Huang Zhong came to his senses, Zhao Yun had returned to the formation, leading his troops to break through and leave.  Upon seeing this, Huang Zhong quickly ordered his soldiers to take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing.  The Xichuan army surrounded them from three directions. Zhao Yun danced with gentian and a silver spear in his hand, dancing like an airtight man, dashing left and right, flying in the crowd of Xichuan people, and fought his way out to escape.

    Ma Chao and Yan Yan quickly led their troops to pursue them, and Huang Zhong also rode up to kill them.  The Xichuan Army pursued them all the way to the Northwest Army's Dazhai, when suddenly two cannons fired in unison, deafening them.  The crossbowmen who were ambushing on both sides were drawing their bows and shooting arrows wildly. Ma Chao and Yan Yan were chasing them at a fast pace, but unexpectedly, many of them were shot dead.  Zhao Yunfu came back to kill him and came to Yan Yan first. Yan Yan resisted for a while and then retreated in defeat.  Ma Chao saw that the situation was not good and retreated hastily.  Zhao Yun counterattacked for a while, recovered the remaining troops and retreated to the stronghold.  After a while, Huang Zhong arrived and joined forces with Generals Ma Chao and Yan Yan to attack them.  Zhao Yun urgently ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows to resist. Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Yan Yan clapped their horses and flew away in the rain of arrows. They were very brave.  Cheng Gongying was in the stronghold, commanding the spearmen to guard the entrance of the stronghold. Whenever the Xichuan cavalry came to kill them, they would stab them with spears.  The two armies fought until late at night, until the sky was shattered and the earth was shattered, and then they stopped fighting.

    The Xichuan Army won a small victory and returned to Jiameng Pass.  Zhang Ren originally thought that he could defeat his army, but he learned from Ma Chao that Zhao Yun had already prepared to ambush an army outside the stronghold, so he did not severely damage his army.  Zhang Ren's face darkened after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he sighed.

    "It seems that my junior brother is not so easy to defeat!"

    After Zhang Ren sighed, he quickly ordered the soldiers to serve the wine and food that had been prepared to reward the sergeants.  The Xichuan Army ushered in a long-lost victory, and the soldiers were happy, but Huang Zhong's face was dark, and he came to Zhang Ren and asked.

    "Director Zhang, if you had a plan, why didn't you tell me earlier!? This made me lose face in front of Zhao Zilong!!"

    Zhang Ren was very unhappy when he heard this and said secretly in his heart.

    "Great! You old man, I haven't asked you why you were distracted and missed the opportunity. Instead, you are here to blame me!"

    Zhang Ren frowned and shouted coldly.

    "Old General Huang, don't you know that soldiers never tire of deceit? What's more, I am the commander-in-chief of the army, why do I need to report everything to you!? And when Zhao Zilong retreated today, with Old General Huang's archery skills, if I can launch the arrow in time, there will be a lot of success  Maybe he will be shot. General Huang missed the opportunity. I didn't accuse you, but you acted so recklessly in front of me! Do you know that if you deal with it according to military law, I can punish you with death!  !¡±

    "Zhang Guyi you!!!"

    Huang Zhong could not stand such bad luck and was about to angrily scold Zhang Ren.  At this time, Liu Bei came over in time, held Huang Zhong's hand, and smiled happily.

    "Haha. Two generals, please calm down. General Zhang, we worked tirelessly to come to Shu to defend my brother Ji Yu from the bandit army. This is an act of benevolence. General Huang is not afraid of life and death and fights powerful enemies on the battlefield. This is an act of righteousness.  Ye. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we have already regained control. It is a great opportunity to work together and take advantage of the situation to pursue. My brother Ji Yu is particularly dependent on General Zhang. I hope that General Zhang will take the overall situation first and not let down my brother Ji Yuzhi.  Great hope!¡±

    Hearing this, Zhang Ren sneered in his heart. He did not want to break up with Liu Bei and let him go.

    "Thank you, Uncle Emperor, for your teachings, I will keep them in my heart!"

    After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he turned around and left.  Huang Zhong was still angry and wanted to catch up with Zhang Ren to argue with him, but Liu Bei stopped him and comforted him in a low voice.

    At the same time, in the northwest Dazhai.  That night, Zhao Yun and Cheng Gongying discussed under the tent.

    Zhao Yun looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

    "Veteran General Huang Zhong is a very heroic man, and with the help of Xichuan fierce generals Ma Chao and Yan Yan, we must not underestimate the enemy. If the military advisor had not been prepared today, our army would have suffered heavy losses. According to the military advisor's advice, what should our army do?"

    "With the help of Huang Zhong, the Xichuan army is like a tiger with added wings. Moreover, if Liu Bei is really in Shu, Huang Zhong will not be the only fierce general accompanying him. In my opinion, it is better to avoid his sharp edge for the time being, withdraw the stronghold ten miles away, and use a deep ditch  The best strategy is to resist with a high base and wait for the lord's army to arrive and then attack with all your strength!"

    Zhao Yun nodded heavily after hearing this.

    "What the military advisor said is very true, and it suits me very well.Mind.  "

    The two men decided on a plan. Zhao Yun ordered the army to withdraw that night, and Zhao Yun personally led an army to cut off the rear.  At dawn the next day, Xichuan scouts learned that Zhao Yun had withdrawn his troops and reported to Zhang Ren.  Ma Chao, Yan Yan and other generals heard this and advised Zhang Ren to send troops to pursue him.  However, Zhang Ren was cautious and asked the scouts first to see if there were any troops left. When he heard that it was Zhao Yun who was leading the troops to guard personally, Zhang Ren immediately spoke to the generals.

    "Zhao Zilong saw that the situation was not good and retreated, which shows that he had careful thoughts. Presumably the northwest army had already retreated by this time. Zhao Zilong personally led the army to retreat. If he advanced rashly, he was afraid of being ambushed by him. Wait for you to lead the army to seize the stronghold and advance slowly  Therefore, don¡¯t act rashly.¡±

    Yan Yan and Ma Chao took the order and led their troops out of the pass. When they were about to approach the northwest army's stronghold, Zhao Yun saw this and ran out of the formation single-handedly, shouting loudly and calling for a fight.  Ma Chao and Yan Yan looked at each other. They were both wary of Zhao Yun Wuyong and thought there was some deceit in him, so they didn't dare to act lightly.

    The two armies were in confrontation for half an hour. Zhao Yun cursed for a while, rushed back into the formation, and quickly ordered the soldiers to withdraw.  Ma Chao and Yan Yan waited until Zhao Yun was far away before they dared to order the capture of the stronghold.

    Zhao Yun withdrew his troops ten miles away and guarded them closely.  The Xichuan Army occupied the northwest army's stronghold. Zhang Ren thought that Wenhan's army was approaching soon and a war was imminent, so he ordered his soldiers to rest and recuperate in preparation for the war.

    A few days later, Wenhan's army arrived, and a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses gathered in one place, setting up camps around the east, west, north, and south, and connecting for more than ten miles.  Banners blocked out the sun, and swords and guns were like forests. The Xichuan army scouts were so frightened that they were frightened out of their wits. Their faces were as pale as earth, and they reported back to Zhang Ren in panic.  Zhang Ren and other Xichuan generals all looked fearful and trembling when they heard that Wenhan's army was approaching, with a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses.

    After all, there were less than 30,000 Xichuan troops in Jiameng Pass at this time, and the northwest soldiers were always famous for their bravery, and the generals under his command were all tough and brave. How could the Xichuan generals not be frightened.

    Zhang Ren's expression was extremely dark, and the Xichuan generals were even more uneasy.  Seeing that the situation was very critical, Liu Bei remembered the three tips Zhuge Liang had given him before leaving. The three tips were red, orange and yellow.  Liu Bei first opened the red brocade bag, which only had the word "food" written on it.

    Liu Bei looked at it, thought for a while, and then asked Zhang Ren if he knew where the northwest army was stationing grain and grass.  Zhang Ren's expression changed, he seemed to have realized something, and immediately sent a scout to investigate.

    That day the scout came back from the investigation and told him what he had discovered.

    "There is a mountain here, which is called the place where Hantun grain and grass are stored!"

    When Liu Bei heard this, his mind was spinning, and Zhang Rensu quickly focused his attention on Liu Bei.  Liu Bei smiled brilliantly and offered his advice.

    "Wen Bufan has led his army here. The 80,000-strong army consumes a huge amount of food and grass day and night. If we get that place and cut off its food and grass, because food is the lifeblood of the army, the army will be destroyed without attacking."

    Zhang Ren listened to the plan and was shocked. His original disdain for Liu Bei suddenly disappeared.  Zhang Ren pondered for a while, pretending to be calm, and said in a deep voice.

    "The words of the Emperor's uncle are exactly what I want. I wonder if the Emperor's uncle has any plans."

    Liu Bei's owl eyes are shining brightly, and his teaching plan is like this.  Zhang Ren was overjoyed, so he followed his plan and taught Ma Chao and Yan Yanyi to lead two troops each.  As for the other generals, make preparations.

    The next day, Huang Zhong and Hua Xiong led their troops out of the camp and went straight to the northwest army's stronghold to kill. When they encountered the troops led by Zhao Yun, the two armies deployed in the field. Wei Yan glared angrily, pointed his finger at Huang Zhong and cursed.

    "You ungrateful old thief! Do you recognize me, the hero of the Northwest!?"

    After Wei Yan finished drinking, he slapped his horse and danced his sword, and came to fetch Huang Zhong.  Huang Zhong swung the red demon sword and held his horse against it.  The two of them fought together. Wei Yan was young and vigorous, and his offensive was fierce and masculine. Huang Zhong's sword skills were also fierce and majestic. The two of them killed with sparks flying and hurricanes flying.  The soldiers of both armies were stunned and exclaimed.  Taishi Ci secretly took out his bow and arrow and aimed at Wei Yan.  Zhao Yun saw it with keen eyes, shouted loudly, held down the gentian silver spear, and also picked up the bow and arrow.  At this moment, the strings sounded violently, and the arrows shot by Taishi Ci turned into a swift light, looked at Wei Yan's back, and flew away.

    Wei Yan heard a violent sound piercing the air from behind, and was suddenly startled. He knew that someone was launching a sneak attack from behind, but Huang Zhong had him tightly entangled and had no time to avoid it.

    Just when it was extremely urgent, there was another burst of string sound, and the arrow hit, with a bang, it shot through Taishi Ci's arrow.  Taishi Cihu's eyes narrowed and he turned to Zhao Yun.  Zhao Yun narrowed his sword eyes, raised his horse, drew his spear, and galloped away.  Taishi Ci shouted loudly, danced with his thunder spear, and faced Zhao Yun.

    The two generals fought each other for more than ten rounds. Huang Zhong and Tai Shici both pretended to be defeated and retreated in defeat.  Generals Zhao Yun and Wei Yan drove more than 20 miles to regain the original camp.

    Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci established another camp nearby.  The next day, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan led their troops. Huang Zhong and Tai Shici came out again. They fought fiercely for several times, but were defeated again.  The second general drove another twenty miles and captured Huang Zhong's camp.  Zhao Yuntong?As for the rear army, Wen Han ordered Pang De to temporarily guard the rear camp, and at the same time gave Pang De secret instructions.

    Pang De rushed to Qianzhai to see Zhao Yun and admonish him.

    "Huang Zhong retreated for two days in a row. There must be a trick in the middle. General Zhao must be careful."

    Wei Yan smiled proudly after hearing this.

    "General Pang, why should you be worried? Our army's morale is at its peak. It's a great opportunity to pursue the victory and defeat the enemy's army with one blow. How can we let it go to waste? General Pang, just wait and see what happens, and see how General Zhao and I can make achievements!!!"  "

    Zhao Yun thought about it for a while and felt that there was something strange about it, so he asked Wei Yan to deal with it carefully.  Although Wei Yan agreed verbally, he didn't remember it in his heart.

    The next day, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan led their troops out of the battle. Huang Zhong and Tai Shici were defeated for twenty miles, and the two generals Yingliu caught up with them.  Another day, the two generals came out. Huang Zhong and Tai Shici seemed to be frightened by being killed. They looked into the wind and walked away. After losing several battles in a row, they retreated to the gate.  Generals Zhao Yun and Wei Yan took the pass and settled down in the stronghold, but Huang Zhong could not leave.  Seeing Huang Zhong's successive defeats, the generals in Xichuan were panicked and secretly came down to see Zhang Rendao.

    "That old man Huang Zhong has lost several battles in a row and is now retreating at the pass. The northwest army is at a sharp front. How can our army resist it?"

    Zhang Ren smiled as he listened.

    "You don't have to worry too much, this is the tactic of the veteran general's arrogance."

    All the generals in Xichuan did not believe it and retreated full of worry.  At the same time, due to the unfavorable war situation recently, many Nishikawa generals have even secretly expressed their intention to defect to the Northwest Army.  Liu Bei secretly saw this, came to see Huang Zhong at night, and asked softly.

    "Han Sheng, what is the current layout? People in the Xichuan Army are panicking right now. If they can't win a big victory early, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later."

    Huang Zhong smiled after hearing this.

    "Uncle, don't worry too much. I think I can recover all the camps tonight and seize their food and horses. This is to use the stronghold to transport supplies to Chong'er. Tonight, General Zhang only needs to guard the pass, and the emperor can mobilize an army to move with me."  If you want food and grass to seize horses, just call those Xichuan rats and see how I defeat the enemy!"

    At the same time, Zhao Yun won consecutive victories. He wanted his soldiers to be tired and did not dare to attack too hastily. He ordered Wei Yan to guard the front stronghold, Zhao Yun to guard the middle stronghold, and Pang De to guard the rear stronghold. Zhao Yun and Pang De were responsible for receiving the army's supplies of food and grass, armament and siege equipment and other materials.  Zhao Yun strictly ordered Wei Yan to guard the front stronghold closely. If the front stronghold was lost, all the strongholds would be in danger.  Wei Yan won successively, he was arrogant and had no ambition at all.

    It was the second watch of the night. Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard that the scouts had come to report, and he and Taishi Ci led an army of 10,000 people to attack.  Huang Zhong and Tai Shici led their troops into the front stronghold of the Northwest Army, just like pouncing on ferocious wolves and tigers. On the contrary, the Northwest Army was like frightened rabbits, being killed by the Xichuan army and losing their armor and armor, without the ability to fight back.  It turned out that Wei Yan was slacking off after seeing that he could not get out of the gate for several days. Huang Zhong broke into the stronghold and entered directly. The man was not as good as the armor and the horse was not as good as the saddle.
