    Xu Huang heard what he said and felt that it was reasonable, so he followed Cheng Gongying's words and ordered all troops to close the city gates. On the same day, he dug deep trenches, built earthen forts, prepared stones, rolling logs and other materials for defending the city, and prepared for defense.  . . The armies listened to orders and acted accordingly.

    About five or six days later, three troops led by Taishi Ci, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Ren came to Guanzhong City in an overwhelming massacre.  Fortunately, the defenders in the city were well prepared. Taishi Ci, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Ren originally wanted to kill them by surprise, but they were shot back by the defenders with random arrows. Moreover, there were many deep ditches under the city, making it difficult to approach.  Seeing that it was difficult to break through, Zhang Ren ordered his troops to withdraw and head toward the high mountains southeast of Guanzhong City.  , all text typed by hand

    Pang De saw Liu Jun withdrawing from the city and hurriedly asked Xu Huang for orders.

    "General, the bandits are retreating. They must be exhausted after traveling a long distance. If someone is willing to lead an army out of the city to attack, they will be caught off guard."

    Xu Huang listened, but refused. He pointed to the rear of Liu Jun under the city and spoke to Pang De.

    "General Pang, please be patient. Look at the rear formation of the other army. The formation is uniform, and there are archers and crossbowmen on both wings for defense. I heard that General Zhang Guyi of Xichuan is a handsome man with both wisdom and courage. I believe he must be  He deliberately lured me out of the city to fight. General Pang must not fall into the trap. "Please come here to read the latest chapter."

    Pang De heard what Xu Huang said and looked over. His face suddenly darkened when he saw what Xu Huang said.  It is said that when Zhang Ren saw that there was no movement of soldiers and horses in the city, he thought that he could not deceive the traitors in the northwest, so he immediately gathered his troops and rushed to the high mountains in the southeast and built a stronghold near the water.  That night, Zhang Ren summoned Taishi Ci and Hua Xiong to discuss matters.  Zhang Ren's face was calm and he spoke in a condensed voice.

    "In the past, I heard many times that Xu Gongming, the general of the northwest, was cautious, brave, and well versed in the art of war. When I saw it today, it turned out to be the case. This person is not an ordinary person, and we should be cautious when dealing with him."

    Taishi Ci's face tightened when he heard this. He remembered that he was defeated by Xu Huang not long ago and fled back to Badong in embarrassment. Unconscious anger surged in his heart and he yelled.

    "Zhang Gong doesn't have to worry too much. Even if Xu Gongming is so capable, there are only more than 6,000 troops and horses in Guanzhong City at this time, so why bother? In the future, I will lead my troops to fight. Let's see how I do.  Kick him off his horse"

    After hearing this, Zhang Ren frowned and spoke to persuade.

    "General Taishi cannot rely solely on his bravery. The other army knows that it is weak, so how can it easily come to fight? I have a plan. If I can deceive Xu Gongming, I will surely capture him."

    After hearing this, Hua Xiong looked happy and quickly asked for advice.  Zhang Rensui taught this plan.  Taishi Ci and Hua Xiong took the plan and retreated.

    The next day, Taishi Ci led his troops to fight. Just as Zhang Ren expected, Xu Huang occupied the city and could not leave.  Taishi Ci kept scolding outside the city. From dawn to day and night, there was still no movement in the city.  Taishi Ci then withdrew his troops and returned.  On the second day, Hua Xiong led his troops and horses to fight again. Seeing that the northwest army was unmoved, Hua Xiong ordered all the cavalry troops to dismount and rest, while the infantry troops dismounted their armor and sat on the ground, shouting and cursing.  Looking at the Northwestern Army in the city, everyone was filled with suppressed anger.  Pound came over, his eyes widened, and he yelled.

    "The thieves are really rampant. I would rather fight to the death."

    Xu Huang, on the other hand, had a pleasant smile and no anger at all, trying to comfort Pang De and talk to him.

    "If General Pang goes to war, he will fall into the enemy's conspiracy."

    Pang De was very unlucky when he heard this, and seeing that Xu Huang had no intention of attacking, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.  So Taishi Ci and Hua Xiong took turns fighting for several days.  At the same time, Xu Huang was not unmoved.  In the past few days, he often led a fleet of fast cavalry to the enemy's camp to explore the enemy's situation during the first watch.

    One late night, Xu Huang suddenly summoned a group of soldiers to talk to everyone.

    "Zhang Ren sends troops to fight every day, but when he sees that they can't get out of the city, the other army is slack and unprepared. Tonight is the right time to send troops to attack. If they are unprepared, they will be killed without leaving a trace."

    Hearing this, Pang De was immediately shaken up, gearing up, and full of fighting spirit.  However, Cheng Gongying frowned and said with great doubts.

    "General, wait a minute. That Zhang Guyi is not an ordinary person. How could he not know how to take precautions? I'm afraid there is some fraud involved."

    When Pang De heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted loudly.

    "Why is Cheng Sima so weak? If Zhang Guyi was really so powerful, he would not have been repeatedly defeated by our army in the first place. Now he is like a lost dog, surrendering to the big-eared thieves. According to someone's opinion, General Xu's plan is a big one  It¡¯s wonderful, you should follow it quickly.¡±

    However, Xu Huang¡¯s face darkened after being reminded by Jingcheng Gongying, and he opened his hand and said.

    "Ling Ming must not make mistakes. What Cheng Sima said makes sense. That Zhang Guyi has always been very scheming and cannot be underestimated. Later, we can send a group of scouts to investigate before doing anything. What does Cheng Sima think of this?"

    Cheng Gongying and Xu Huang looked at each other and nodded slightly in agreement.  Xu Huang then ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses, set out at midnight, rushed to Liu Jun's camp, and first sent a group of dozens of fast riders to investigate.  Thirty northwest cavalrymen were galloping forward. Seeing that there were no horses in the stronghold, they entered the central army.  When the ambush troops surrounding them saw the arrival of the Northwest Army, they fired cannons.  Ambush on all sidesWhen they came out, the shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.  As soon as Xu Huang heard this momentum, he knew it was indeed a trick, and he quickly ordered the troops to withdraw, reined in their horses, and left.  Taishi Ci, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Ren led the ambush troops to attack, but they were surrounded by only thirty cavalry, and they were instantly annihilated.  Taishi Ci heard the noise outside the stronghold and knew that a troop of troops was not far away, so he quickly urged his troops to cover up the attack.  Xu Huang led his troops back to Guanzhong City. The soldiers took back the suspension bridge and closed the city gate tightly.  Taishi Ci rushed to the city, and countless arrows rained down on the city.  Taishi Ci's army was shot and retreated violently. Suddenly, there was a sound of cannon, and Cheng Gongying led his army out from the side of the road and came to fight.  Taishi Cijun was caught off guard when he was killed, and gradually became unable to resist.  It turned out that Cheng Gongying later relied on his understanding of Zhang Ren and thought that it was mostly a trick, but he had no time to call back Xu Huang's troops. In order to prevent the other army from covering up the attack, he set up an ambush outside the city as a precaution.  After that, as Cheng Gongying expected, when he saw Taishi Ci coming to the city to kill him, he immediately led his troops to fight out, catching Taishi Ci's army off guard.  Seeing this, Xu Huang quickly led his troops out with Pang De.

    Pang De¡¯s Pegasus rushed wildly, crashing into the crowd, rushing left and right, causing a shower of blood, and met Tai Shi Ci.  The two of them didn't even answer, and immediately fell in love with each other and killed each other.  Taishi Ci was galloping with a thunder gun in his hand, while Pang De twisted his tiger-headed machete and slashed at him with the back. The two of them killed fiercely.  After a while, Xu Huang came up on horseback, wielded a giant tiger-headed axe, and slashed at Taishi Ci's neck.  Taishi Ci quickly lowered his head to avoid it, but Xu Huang struck him with an axe.  When Pang De saw a gap in Tai Shi Ci's body, he saw it and saw Tai Shi Ci.  Taishi Ci hurriedly carried the thunder gun to resist him. It was very critical.  Pang De and Xu Huang attacked Taishi Ci together, but Taishi Ci could not resist. He was killed and retreated steadily, and the danger was everywhere.

    At this moment, Zhang Ren and Hua Xiong led their troops to kill.  When Cheng Gongying saw this, he shouted anxiously.  The soldiers on the city were beating drums and gongs.  When Xu Huang and Pang De heard the order, they quickly withdrew their troops and returned to the city.  After a while, Zhang Ren and Hua Xiong arrived and joined forces with Tai Shi Ci. The defenders on the city shot arrows at them randomly, and the arrows fell like a sudden rain in a continuous stream.  The northwest army on the city was greatly shaken. Each one of them was very brave, as if he had endless strength and kept firing arrows.  Seeing the situation, Zhang Ren quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops and returned to the camp.  Thus, the one-night battle ended.

    Zhang Ren saw that Guanzhong City was difficult to break, but Xu Huang was extremely cautious.  After discussion, the three decided to use their strength to attack the city.

    So, the three Liu troops rested for the night.  At noon the next day, Taishi Ci, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Ren each led their troops to surround Guanzhong City and attack.  Xu Huang could not move out, so he guarded the city and resisted with random arrows, falling rocks and rolling logs.  There was a fierce battle above and below the city, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.  On the fourth day of the attack, Zhang Ren raised an army to attack the west gate, Taishi Ci attacked the east gate, and Hua Xiong attacked the north gate.  Only let the south gate walk.  It turns out that the area around the south gate is full of mountain roads and the terrain is bumpy, so there is no way to encircle it.  Xu Huang was commanding the defenders to fight on the city. Suddenly he saw Zhang Ren at the west gate, riding back and forth to command the attack on the city.  Xu Huang's eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, and he had a plan in mind.  From Chen to Wei, Liu Jun's troops gradually became exhausted.  Xu Huang was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly taught Pang De to lead troops to fight against Taishi Ci, and Cheng Gongying to lead troops to fight against Hua Xiong.  But Xu Huang himself led the army out of the south gate and turned to the west gate to kill Zhang Ren.  Xu Huang gave the order and mobilized all the militiamen in the city to go up to the city and beat drums to help shout.

    But when Zhang Ren saw the red sun and leveled the west, he thought that the soldiers would be exhausted after a fierce battle for a day, so he taught the rear troops to retreat first.  As soon as Zhang Ren's order was given and the sergeant turned around, there was a sudden shouting in the city and troops and horses protruded from the south gate.  I saw Xu Huang wielding a giant tiger-headed axe, wearing a green robe and a mighty tiger's war robe, wearing an evil tiger armor, riding a Dawan horse, leading a group of elite soldiers to charge towards him with murderous intent.  When Zhang Ren saw this, his expression changed and he ordered his sergeants to go and resist.  The Northwest Army's drums were as strong as a tiger's and their vigor was at its peak. Xu Huang charged forward with great bravery, carving a bloody path as if there was no one in the way.  Zhang Ren's army was unable to resist, and was killed and fled in disarray. The army was defeated like a mountain.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Ren reined in his horse and left.  At this time, Taishi Ci and Hua Xiong were led by Pang De and Cheng Gongying to attack them.  The two cannot care about each other.  Zhang Ren could not escape for a few miles, but Xu Huang cut a bloody path and rushed towards him on horseback. He suddenly raised his ax and slashed Zhang Ren's vest.  Zhang Ren hurriedly returned to his horse and twisted his gun to resist.  There was a loud bang, and Zhang Ren's expression changed, secretly shouting that Xu Huang was powerful.  Xu Huang's tiger eyes were ferocious, and he danced with a giant tiger-headed axe, slashing his back with a fast and fierce attack.  Zhang Ren was driven out of his blood, suddenly attacked, and used the spear technique of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix.  Xu Huanghu's eyes widened and he also used his own axe style, Pangu Sky-Breaking Axe.  There are eight moves in this ax stance, just like Guan Yu's eight moves of the Spring and Autumn Period. Each move is more powerful, and the eighth ax has even more power that breaks the sky.  After Xu Huang resisted Zhang Ren's attack, he struck out with an axe, three axes in a row.  The first ax suddenly struck Zhang Ren's face. Zhang Ren ducked and narrowly avoided it. Before he could recover, the second ax suddenly came again, slashing straight at Zhang Ren's neck. Zhang Ren was anxious.  The chou gun resisted.  I felt as if the gun in my hand had been hit by a huge boulder, and its mouth was shattered.  Xu Huang shouted loudly, withdrew the giant tiger-headed ax and struck out with all his strength, hitting Zhang Ren's head.  Zhang Ren's eyes widened, as if he saw a giant god on the giant axe, twisting the giant ax to strike.  In the midst of lightning and flint, Zhang Ren forced out all possible means, exerted all his strength, and swung his gun to block.  I saw the giant tiger-headed ax with the power to break the sky, suddenly fell down, chopped on the handle of the gun, exploded with a violent spark, split suddenly, and fell straight away.  When Zhang Ren saw this, he was so frightened that he quickly jumped away and fell off his horse.  Xu Huang struck down his horse with an axe, killing him alive.  Zhang Ren rolled on the ground several times, not caring to pick up his helmet, and with his hair disheveled, he ran into the rebels, trying to take advantage of the situation.?Go.
